Qian Tang's visit is just the beginning.

Although he didn't react at first, after thinking about it, Zhu Yuan was quite apprehensive about Qian Tang's title of a certain 'saint'. As a human being in two lives, he actually doesn't force fame and fortune in his heart, but Zhu Yuan also does not refuse, however, he has reached the point of being a 'saint', and he feels too much.

The next step is not to hang a painting statue, right?

It's a bit oozing when you think about it.

After all, most of the knowledge I came up with was well-known hundreds of years later, and by analogy, how many saints did it take.

Well.

Of course, it can't be counted that way.

Inside the East Pavilion on the left side of the Mukden Gate.

Two days later, I saw Lao Zhu again, Zhu Yuan took the initiative to mention this matter, Lao Zhu was looking down to read the preliminary excavation plan of the 'Jianghuai Canal' just submitted by the Ministry of Industry, hearing this, he couldn't help but look up, with a smile on his face: "That Qian Tang, I didn't like it at first sight, but I didn't think it was a knowledgeable person." ”

Zhu Yuan also smiled, with a certain scoundrel energy of the younger generation in front of the elders: "Ancestor, I remember that there is a saying that 'there are saints in five hundred years', which should have been on you, but now ...... You wouldn't mind, would you? ”

"You are my grandson, what do you care," Lao Zhu shook his head: "Besides, if the founding king can be called a 'saint', it will be more than one in five hundred years, more than one mile." Again, huh...... I also know that this little saint is not so worthy of the name. ”

Ran to deliberately mention it today, Zhu Yuan was worried.

In case you don't say it yourself, you will beat around the bush, and when others spread this word to Lao Zhu, it is inevitable that something will happen, after all, Lao Zhu's personality is too contradictory and has an open-minded side, but when you are careful, you are really careful.

Therefore, after thinking about it privately, Zhu Yuan knew that he took the initiative to come and mention it, and the risk was the smallest.

Hearing Lao Zhu say this, Zhu Yuan hurriedly nodded: "So, ancestor, I'm still quite worried." ”

Lao Zhu waved his hand gently: "But there is no need to be worried, just as the Confucian 'three immortals' said, virtue, meritorious, and speech." The word 'virtue', heh, you forget it, you don't want to be that blank paper, I can understand. You are enough for these 'merits' and 'words', one is 'opening up the ocean', and the other is 'economic science'. The Confucian sages are only one 'standing words', and your 'three immortals' account for two, but you can also be called a 'holy' word. ”

Zhu Yuan nodded, with a hippie smile: "The ancestor of Chrysostom and Yuyan, I will accept it." Zu Shang will definitely be the greatest emperor in our China in the future, and the emperor should be followed by a little sage as a foil. ”

Lao Zhu grinned: "Don't talk nonsense, I really don't take it to heart, you are a junior of your own family, and you are called a 'saint' by that Confucian student, which is also the glory of our Zhu family." ”

"What the ancestor said is reasonable," Zhu Yuan nodded again, and complained: "Speaking of which, I haven't tasted it back then, and that Qian Tang said 'Chaowen Dao, it's okay to die at night', and turned around and left, it's too rude." ”

"That's ...... people," Lao Zhu thought for a while and said, "Roughly, I really respect you as a person, but I don't plan to change the court, that's the way to behave." ”

"Uh-huh."

Lao Zhu didn't continue to talk, and glanced over: "How's the preparation for the course for Biao'er?" ”

"The program has been set," Zhu Yuan said: "Heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are used as dogs, and saints are unkind, and people are used as dogs." ”

"It's ...... That Taoist saying? ”

Zhu Yuan nodded: "Yes." ”

Lao Zhu frowned slightly, he didn't need Zhu Yuan to explain, he could understand some of the meanings in these two sentences, and couldn't help but say: "Is it ...... Too, too ......"

For a while, I didn't think of the right adjective.

Zhu Yuan took the initiative to say: "Does the ancestor think that it is too cold and unkind?" ”

"That's it," Lao Zhu said: "Emperor, in the end, there should still be a human heart, you ...... Don't take Biao'er into a single husband. ”

"No," Zhu Yuan said: "Your Highness learned Confucianism at the age of six, and has many morals and etiquette, and a benevolent heart. Moreover, my ancestors, what I learned seriously when I was a teenager, and it is the most difficult to forget. When I talk about this, I am only bringing His Highness to a higher level, and I can't let His Highness fall into the shackles of Confucianism. It is very important for the emperor to know 'etiquette', we all know that we must restrict Confucianism, but we also know that Confucianism must not be excessively suppressed. This is also a leg, in case it is lame, the rites will collapse, and the clay will thunder, just like the five dynasties and ten kingdoms, it will be terrible. His Royal Highness, as the successor of his ancestors, has enough 'rites', and it is deep-rooted, this is the 'heart of benevolence', what I want to do is to cultivate His Highness's 'heart of the emperor'. ”

In the past, although Zhu Biao had a hypocritical side, such as for many brothers, on the one hand, he acquiesced and even impeached his subordinates, in order to suppress the impression of the kings in Lao Zhu's heart, so as to facilitate his own cutting of the domain, but on the other hand, when Lao Zhu was angry, he hugged his father's thigh and pleaded with his brothers.

But in fact, the word 'li', someone has done a good job.

If Zhu Biao didn't die, he would definitely cut the feudal domain, but he would definitely not be like his son, forcing his brothers to no longer live.

In Zhu Yuan's view, this is the effect brought by Confucianism in his early years.

Dyed in the wool.

In comparison, Zhu Yunwen obviously didn't study well, and only saw that his grandfather and father wanted to kill heroes and kill heroes, and if they wanted to cut the domain, it seemed quite easy, since this is the case, I can too.

Then, there is no then.

From the perspective of human nature, Zhu Yunwen's rough approach has lost the hearts of the people and is too cold, resulting in the royal family and nobles not occupying your side.

In terms of etiquette, you are unkind, unrighteous, unfilial, unkind, and you don't even bother to do a good job of your father's hypocrisy, which is tantamount to taking the initiative to give up the legitimacy of legal theory.

Of course, the more important thing is the success or failure of the hero.

There is a truth that has been unbreakable for thousands of years: losers must be wrong.

At that moment, after Zhu Yuan finished speaking, seeing that Lao Zhu was still a little hesitant, he took the initiative to say: "Ancestor, when I get the courseware, I'll show you first." Moreover, when the time comes, you can also come to the hearing, and I also hope that you will join me, and if you feel that what I said is not right, you will criticize me on the spot. ”

Lao Zhu nodded and smiled again: "You are so clever and tongue-in-cheek, I can't criticize you." ”

Zhu Yuan followed the hippie smile: "Ancestor, I'm afraid." ”

Lao Zhu was about to wave his hand to drive people away, remembered one, and said: "Someone is noisy again today, saying that you are walking around the city to buy a house?" ”

"Yes," Zhu Yuan said, "I want to go into the city occasionally to do errands, and I can have a place to stay." It's not as close as the Imperial City, and there are some places to go through, which is too time-consuming. ”

"Don't touch it again," Lao Zhu nodded slightly after hearing this, and said: "The place in the city before me, if you need it, you can go and live, and you can let the family go over to take care of it later." ”

Zhu Yuan immediately refused: "Ancestor, no, bad rules." ”

I remembered that in history, Lao Zhu said that he would give Xu Da his old interior in Jinling City, and Lao Xu insisted on not accepting it, and finally built a new residence next to the old interior, so there was a Zhan Yuan after a few hundred years.

That's the rule.

The place where the emperor lived, you will live in again...... Too sensitive.

Lao Zhu said: "What rules are not in order, a big house, it can't be empty, I thought earlier, you live on the lake, in the end, it's better to give you that house, and it will be your palace in the future." ”

Zhu Yuan smiled with a bit of hippie and wry smile: "Ancestor, it's really not good, well, our ancestors and grandchildren have nothing to say, just one, you let me live in your previous residence, that looks ...... It's a bit like the East Palace, I have absolutely no heart, ancestors, you must also believe that I absolutely absolutely have no heart, this emperor...... In my opinion, I was so tired that I couldn't stand this body for a day. You must know that later generations talked about it, and they all said that in our Ming Dynasty, being a prince was the most enjoyable, and when the emperor was tired and angry, I also thought so. If we think about it, we must do it seriously, and the rules that should be there are rules, and we can't cross the line. ”

"I'm just a few words, you're a bunch," Lao Zhu smiled and waved his hand, his own baby twenty-third grandson made him very comfortable, anyway, look at the baby, of course it's all good, so he said: "Since you don't want to, I'll choose another place for you, there are a lot of mansions that were confiscated from the former dynasty, you don't need to look for it yourself, and it makes people gossip." ”

Zhu Yuan didn't refuse this time, and agreed with a smile.

After a few more words, Zhu Yuan took the initiative to say goodbye.

If it is delayed any longer, Lao Zhu will have to stay for dinner again. It's not comfortable eating in this palace at all.

Back to the mansion on Xuanwu Lake, after lunch, Zhu Yuan didn't take a nap today, but left the lake again and rushed to the north. The road is a little far, and you can also hold the sack girl in the sedan car to rest, and the two pillows are very suitable.

The destination is two workshops at the eastern foot of the Shogunate Mountain in the northern part of the Red Mountain, one is a carving workshop and the other is a spring workshop.

I said I wanted to take a look a few days ago.

The carving workshop is actually for making clocks and watches, similar to the crystal palace carving leak that is still placed in the west house of Zhu Yuan's inner house.

However, on the one hand, people in this era are generally accustomed to using the name of 'engraved leakage', and on the other hand, Zhu Yuan did not take the initiative to propose the name of 'clock' or 'clock', so he temporarily called 'engraved leakage workshop'.

Cause......

Whether it's 'clock' or 'clock', one of the words 'clock' is so homophonic that if this thing is used as a gift, it is often thought that it is a provocation.

Send the bell.

Therefore, the name must be seriously changed.

Because Zhu Yuan wants to make this thing into an industry, compared with the traditional drip leak, similar to the clock of later generations, not only has a wide range of uses, but also the market is absolutely broad. From royal to civilian, as long as the price is right, who doesn't need a 'watch'?

As for the spring workshop, it is temporarily regarded as a supporting tool for the carving workshop.

Subsequently, Zhu Yuan also had a lot of ideas.

In short, it is still a very profitable industry.

Zhu Yuan's sedan chair stopped at the door of the carving workshop, and as soon as he came out, the two Jiupin officials who greeted him with a group of subordinates stepped forward and saluted on the ground after being confirmed by the guards.

"Xiaguan Jin Dahu, I've seen Lord Pingzhang."

"Xiaguan Wei Ye, I've seen Lord Pingzhang."

Kim Daigo is Kim Sango's older brother.

Wei Ye, who was lying on the ground and still showing a strong figure, was the manager of the spring workshop.

Both of them came to Jinling at the end of last month with another batch of 100,000 craftsmen from Dadu, because the two workshops belong to the Ministry of Industry, Zhu Yuan didn't want to eat it himself, and the two of them also successfully entered the flow under his recommendation, but this time there are only 'nine products'.

Motioning for the two to get up, and while talking, Zhu Yuan walked towards the door of the carving workshop. A group of people around hurriedly followed.
