While he was talking, He Xuan appeared at the door of the class.

It's already noon.

He Xuan came over to remind his petty officials to have lunch.

Zhu Yuan took the opportunity to invite Hua Gao, Wu Zhen and Chang Duan's father and son together, and did not return to the West Courtyard, but set up a meal in the office next door. During lunch, Zhu Yuan explained to Wu Zhen by the way why everyone would not fall off the 'ball', so that the deputy governor could rest assured.

After eating, they are busy.

Zhu Yuan did not immediately return to the inner house for a lunch break, but called Liu Lian.

Sitting behind his desk, Zhu Yuan drew a sketch of the coastal lighthouse in his memory with charcoal, and said to Liu Lian: "Draw up a notice, and three days later, on the morning of February 26, ask all maritime merchants to come to Yinghai Division for a meeting. ”

Liu Lian hesitated and said, "Hanlin, what did you say for a month?" ”

Zhu Yuan shook his head: "Things always change, I can't wait." Moreover, I will reserve a buffer plan for maritime merchants in Guangzhou and other places in the south. ”

The southern expedition is still continuing, and after all, Liangguang and some areas further south have not been fully included in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, even if they wait for a month, many local maritime merchants may not be able to arrive. As for Zhejiang, Fujian and even the northern provinces, these days, almost everything that should have arrived has arrived.

Since Wu Zhen rushed to Mingzhou ahead of schedule, things couldn't wait any longer.

Liu Lian thought for a moment and agreed.

Zhu Yuan continued to draw a sketch of the lighthouse, and then said, "There is also a team that goes north to measure the dimensions of various places, so that they can speed up." Within ten days, even if people can't come back, the dimensional data and coastal maps of Jiaozhou must all be sent back. ”

Liu Lian had no objection this time and agreed again.

Zhu Yuan then said the third thing: "The ancestor has agreed to the matter of the Maritime Academy, I definitely can't accommodate it here, you can pick a place in the afternoon, just accommodate many people to attend classes together, if you can't find it, you will start classes in the open air." Then you sort out the course materials as soon as possible, according to my teaching mode, the content includes the knowledge of tides and ocean currents that I have talked about in the past two days, as well as the "Mathematical Basics", the identification of nautical charts, the basic meteorological knowledge, the use of observation tools such as star pullers, and so on, etc., I can't think too much about it for a while. You draw up a list, count all the knowledge you can use for navigation, and submit it to me for review as soon as possible. Then, the clerks are selected, each of whom is responsible for one or two courses. The target of the course is tentatively all the officers of Tianxingwei and Mingzhouwei, starting from 100 households. In addition, among the township soldiers and people, as well as the ordinary soldiers of the two guards, if they are literate, they can also recommend or self-recommend, and if they can pass the audit and complete the course, the battalion will be appointed. As for the rest, it will depend on the situation in the future. ”

Liu Lian should be again.

Zhu Yuan still didn't look up, continued to draw, and said again: "The last one, after I take a nap, let Tu Xiao from the Surveying and Mapping Office come to see me, and then ask Yao Feng to select a few craftsmen who are good at building fortresses." ”

Liu Lian shook his head and said, "Hanlin, Tu Xiao went to sea again yesterday, and it will take three or five days to come back." ”

Zhu Yuan paused and said, "Then the others from the Surveying and Mapping Office." ”

Liu Lian nodded.

Sent Liu Lian away, Zhu Yuan was about to continue to finish the drawing in his hand, and He Xuan, who had been waiting here, reported again, and Fang Li was outside the door.

Fang Li is here to resign.

Of the 10,000 tasks assigned to him by Zhu Yuan, less than 4,000 have been completed so far.

Wu Zhen arrived yesterday and brought 20,000 people at a time, and he could also have more abundant manpower to send him to gather the old troops in various parts of eastern Zhejiang.

All right......

Probably Lajandin.

It had been decided at the morning meeting that Fang Li could have set off directly, and deliberately came over to say goodbye to him, which also made Zhu Yuan realize again that the Fang family had really made up their minds to attach themselves to him.

Zhu Yuan did not refuse.

Lao Zhu is very good to himself, so good that he is boundless, and Zhu Yuan is very grateful.

But......

It's like yesterday's incident.

Even if Zhu Yuan didn't have any thoughts of harming Lao Zhu, it was impossible not to make any preparations for himself.

We're all adults.

Idealism, it doesn't work.

Speaking of which, Lao Zhu is precisely the biggest idealist of this era. He hoped that the sons would be in harmony and guard the country everywhere for generations to come; He hoped that the monarchs and ministers would be harmonious, diligent and prudent, and the wealth would be passed on to future generations; He hoped that the people would be stable, that they would be able to do their duties and enjoy themselves.

However, in the end, Lao Zhu's ideals were all shattered.

The sons guarded the Quartet, and there were very few who set an example according to his heart, but they did a lot of bad things, which disappointed him.

As for the meritorious heroes, there are not many who can be diligent and prudent.

Lao Zhu set the cool law of peeling the skin for sixty taels of silver, but in fact, it was never used on the old brothers who fought with him.

For example, Hu Weiyong.

For example, sapphire.

When they fell, none of them confiscated countless gold and silver fields, but among their crimes, the word 'greed' was the most insignificant.

And so on, it is completely conceivable how other heroes will be in private.

You don't even need to imagine it, there are many records in historical materials.

If it weren't for the creation of people, most of the heroes could still be rich and prosperous.

Let's just say that Lan Yu, if it weren't for the great change in the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu, the Duke of Liangguo, who had thousands of false sons, invaded Mintian, promoted generals without permission, insulted the concubine, and destroyed the customs, would have become the first military general of the new dynasty.

It can be seen that Lao Zhu has been tolerant enough for the sake of his own ideals that he has always shared with his courtiers.

However, in his later years, the crown prince Zhu Biao, who Lao Zhu had carefully cultivated for decades, also died.

When Lao Zhu's ideals were shattered one by one, everyone knew what had happened.

Therefore, Zhu Yuan is not idealistic.

Now that you are in your current position, you must gradually build your own team.

Just like Zhu Yuan's direct letting Li Gui serve as his assistant coach in the past two days, as well as the arrangements for Qiao An, and so on.

And it's also a typical cronyism.

Or else?

Think about the civil and military generals around the founding kings of the past dynasties, most of them were all kinds of fellow townsmen and clans.

Lao Zhu is even more typical in this regard.

In the early days, the Marshal Wing Mansion was changed to the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, and the first Metropolitan Governor was called Zhu Wenzheng. Even if Zhu Wenzheng disappointed Lao Zhu, among the current armies, nephew Li Wenzhong, half-son Mu Ying, He Wenhui, Xu Sima and others are all backbone generals who have a role in influencing the commander.

Why?

Or cronyism.

People close to you are always easier to trust than outsiders. Ability can be cultivated through teaching and sharpening, but the word 'pro' is not something that can be cultivated if you want to.

From the perspective of a businessman, the word 'pro' is actually a natural bundle of interests.

For example, if Xu Da rebelled, in addition to Lao Zhu, would he still let go of Li Wenzhong, Mu Ying, and He Wenhui? Even if Li Wenzhong and others bend their knees and surrender, Xu Da can't rest assured, and he must get rid of it quickly.

Similarly, Li Wenzhong and others also understand these truths, and will certainly do their best to supervise the generals and prevent them from doing things that they should not do.

Zhu Yuan has always been a person who believes more in the binding of interests.

Just like running a company in my previous life, I don't play hooligan to draw a big pie, I will give you all the benefits that should be given, and everyone will support the company together, and we will prosper and lose both. The company is bigger, I eat meat, and you can drink the soup to your heart's content, that's all.

As for the Fang family who joined him, Zhu Yuan would not be naïve enough to think that after Fang Li's statement, he would really go to the soup for him.

Take your time from now on.

Interests are tied to a certain extent, and it is impossible to go to the trouble for yourself.

Because Zhu Yuan also understands another sentence, which is called 'people in the rivers and lakes, and they can't help themselves'. Tie it up, and then want to get out, how can it be so easy?
