Subsequently, Zhu Biao told his father about Zhang Yifan telling him that ordinary people like to simplify words.

Zhu Yuanzhang listened, nodded and said: "If you can simplify the words without affecting the original meaning of the words, and will not confuse the words, then it is indeed possible." ”

Speaking of this, he paused, and seemed to recall what Zhu Biao had said before, and then said: "You can also write a detailed description of the relevant things about national literacy." ”

"Yes, Father!" Zhu Biao listened and replied happily.

He knew that his father should be able to accept this proposal, so he said to Zhu Yuanzhang again: "Father, don't you know, Yifan is also promoting literacy in his martial arts hall, and also teaching them arithmetic, don't say it, just the artillery firing, Erchen feels that they will be much more powerful than ordinary soldiers!" What three points and one line, thumb ranging method, watch rod distance measurement method, are all a set, but unfortunately there is no actual operation of the artillery, otherwise you can know how powerful it is! ”

"Oh?" When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he was a little surprised and said, "Hearing you say this, that soldier of the Wubeitang can really hit the artillery accurately?" ”

Zhu Biao listened and reminded helplessly: "They don't have artillery to practice, but Erchen can see that it should be really accurate." ”

Speaking of this, he thought for a moment and added: "Also, after Yifan said that they are literate and reasonable, they will be better at fighting than those who are illiterate......"

As he spoke, he told all the conversations between Zhang Yifan and Lan Yu at the beginning.

Zhu Yuanzhang listened, his eyes lit up and said: "Since this is the case, then ask them all to come to Beijing to have a look, it just so happens that there are already seven or eight cannons of that kind of bombardment." Let them come to Jingshi as soon as possible. If the artillery hits well, they can be sent together to the border pass. ”

There is another point that he did not say.

For him, the emperor, if he only relied on a few famous generals to fight, it was definitely not what he wanted. And if he can train generals who can really lead troops to fight through a school like Wubeitang, then he can rest assured in the military affairs.

Originally, this was a hidden worry in his heart, but now that he heard what Zhu Biao said, almost subconsciously, he wanted those soldiers in the Wubeitang to have a future. If possible, Zhu Yuanzhang planned to cultivate them, and then promote the practice of Wubeitang.

This deeper reason, he did not say. Zhu Biao listened to his words, but he thought that his suggestion was accepted by his father, and he was very happy to have an explanation from his brother-in-law.

Zhu Yuanzhang was also happy, after his son went to Xiangshan County, he gained a lot. But people's hearts are insufficient, so he continued to ask Zhu Biao with expectations: "What else is going on in Xiangshan County?" ”

Zhu Biao listened and immediately replied: "Regarding the patent, Erchen talked to Yifan, and he felt that his previous idea was a bit unrealistic, so he was ready to set up a research group in his workshop......"

He then reported the improved version of the patent to Zhu Yuanzhang, and explained that the investment in this area may be relatively large at the beginning, and I am afraid that there will be no gains in a short time.

Zhu Yuanzhang listened, nodded and said: "This matter is not in a hurry, wait for him to do it for a year and see the situation before deciding!" ”

At this time, he felt that it was really a good way to set aside Xiangshan County and let Zhang Yifan toss there. Whether things are good or not, you will know if you have done them!

After that, he asked again, "Is there anything else?" ”

When Zhu Biao heard this, he wanted to say that he didn't have it, but he immediately remembered what happened at that time, so he told Zhu Yuanzhang about the results of Nanyang's investigation and Zhang Yifan's suggestion, saying that the tribute was a loss and could not last, so it was better to do business.

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he frowned, he didn't like this suggestion a little, and immediately said: "Yifan is a bit of a small family, those are small countries in Fanbang, show them with grace, and show the etiquette of the Celestial Empire." ”

In his opinion, these small countries of Fanbang are either blocked by the sea, or the mountains are high and the roads are steep, and they are all people from outside the country, so it is really unnecessary for him to spend this thought, and even plans to set rules for his children and grandchildren, and list the small countries of Fanbang as a country that is not to be levied, so as not to let the children and grandchildren use swords against them, so as not to lose more than they gain.

However, because of Zhang Yifan's great achievements in Xiangshan County, he was very happy, so after saying this, after he hesitated for a while, he still said to Zhu Biao: "No matter him, he is in Xiangshan County, he can toss as much as he likes!" ”

This means that at the court level, it is still the same attitude as before. Xiangshan County is a special zone, so it doesn't matter.

Zhu Biao listened and was slightly disappointed. He is more in favor of his brother-in-law's suggestion, but his father is the biggest, and only his father has the final say.

Temporarily letting go of these thoughts, he said to Zhu Yuanzhang again: "Father, Yifan also said something about the control of public opinion, and the son feels that it makes sense......

At that time, Zhu Biao relayed the public opinion control dialogue that was introduced in the idle book topic of the Xiangshan County Library Pavilion to his father.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't care about it at first, but after hearing it, his expression suddenly became serious.

He has experienced a lot more than Zhu Biao, and he actually knows the importance of public opinion very well. It's just that after becoming the emperor, there are too many things, and the things controlled by public opinion can't be taken into account, and the other is that they don't think so deeply.

At this time, after hearing what his son said, Zhu Yuanzhang reattached importance to this matter.

The control of public opinion, that is, the issue of the right to speak, is not good, it will shake the foundation of the dynasty's rule, and it must not be sloppy.

As my son said, the quality of the Seedlings Method is a typical example.

After Zhu Biao finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said slowly: "Yifan is right, this matter must be taken seriously, and it must be arrested." ”

After asking Zhu Biao, there was nothing else, so he asked Zhu Biao to rest. He himself, on the other hand, picked up his pen and began to write.

When it was about to be evening, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly sent another decree and summoned Fang Xiaoru to meet him.

They are all about to disperse and summoned, which is not unusual for the current emperor. After Fang Xiaoru received the order, he didn't dare to slack off, guessing that the emperor was because of the affairs of Xiangshan County, so he immediately hurried to meet him.

As he expected, Zhu Yuanzhang summoned Fang Xiaoru to ask about Xiangshan County.

As Li Shanchang guessed at that time, although Zhu Yuanzhang believed Zhu Biao, he still had to verify the situation in Xiangshan County again from other people.

As soon as Fang Xiaoru heard Zhu Yuanzhang's question, he immediately said with an expression of admiration: "Your Majesty, Xiangshan County is really an unprecedented ......miracle of governance."

As he spoke, he talked about what he saw, heard and thought in Xiangshan County. Between the words, even if they had already returned to Jingshi, they were still full of shock and excitement.

Of course, he and Zhu Biao are two people after all, although they went to the same place, but what they saw and experienced more deeply must be different. But overall, that's pretty much the same.

In short, everything in Xiangshan County really makes him think that it is an unprecedented miracle!

By the time Fang Xiaoru left the palace, it was already dark.

Early the next morning, Zhu Yuanzhang summoned Song Lian again and asked him about Xiangshan County.

As soon as Song Lian heard the emperor ask this, even if he was a lot older, he immediately showed excitement, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, the old minister has this trip to Xiangshan County, it is really in vain for this life!" ”

As he spoke, he reported to Zhu Yuanzhang from his point of view. Between the words, there is also a sense of admiration.

In the end, he even gave a thumbs up in front of Zhu Yuanzhang and praised: "The horse is really talented!" In contrast, the knowledge of the old minister is the small way! ”

The art of governing the country and the people, the law of strengthening the country and enriching the people, this is the avenue! Poetry and songs, relatively speaking, are small paths.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang was a little surprised to hear it. Song Lian is one of the three great writers in the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty, he actually admired his son-in-law so much, it should be everything in Xiangshan County, it shocked him too much!

Zhu Yuanzhang remembered that when he ordered the horse, Song Lian was also there. Zhang Yifan made that poem, and Song Lian did appreciate it, but it was far from today's attitude.

It seems that that Xiangshan County is really good!

Thinking of these, Zhu Yuanzhang even yearned for it, and had the urge to go there himself.

However, after all, he is the emperor, and it is easy for him to leave Beijing, so this idea can only be thought about.

After Song Lian retired, Zhu Biao summoned Mao Xiang, the commander of Jinyiwei, to learn about the situation in Xiangshan County again from his point of view.

The conclusion, of course, without exception, is one word: good! Two words: good! Three words: very good......

………………

During the time period when Zhu Yuanzhang learned about Xiangshan County, people up and down the Beijing Division were also inquiring about the situation in Xiangshan County.

After all, the prince went to Xiangshan County to "visit relatives" and come back, which is definitely a big deal.

In fact, as long as they have the strength, in fact, when the prince went to Xiangshan County, they also sent henchmen to follow, and then came back.

In the Korean Mansion, Li Shanchang was shocked and confirmed again and again: "Really? ”

Li Qi, the prince of the world, also had an expression of disbelief, and then said: "You wouldn't have accepted any benefit from the colt and spoke for him like this?" ”

"Wronged, young master. Master, what the villain said is true, and he doesn't dare to exaggerate at all. Otherwise, young master, master, you can go and see for yourself. The villain dares to guarantee that Xiangshan County is indeed like this! ”

Li Shanchang actually believed in the person he sent out, but because of this report, it was far beyond his estimates. Even more outrageous than the news of Xiangshan County that circulated in Beijing before, he couldn't believe it.

At this time, after he confirmed it, he restrained his expression and said to his henchman: "I've worked hard for you this time, go and get the reward yourself!" ”

"Thank you, Master!"

Watching his henchmen exit the study, Li Shanchang stretched out his hand and rubbed his head, and said with emotion: "I really didn't expect that this kid would have such great ability, I thought I could only talk with my mouth, but it seems that I really underestimated him!" ”

"What then?" When Li Qi heard this, he immediately asked, "You can't just watch it like this, right?" ”

When Li Shanchang heard this, he looked at his son, his face turned cold and asked, "Now that he has done such an accomplished thing, Jian is in the emperor's heart, who can shake him?" Not to mention, he weighs more heavily in the prince's heart! At least for both days! ”

Speaking of this, his tone was also a little colder, and he reprimanded: "I said it before, don't force it." In this way, he has become a force, and he can't force it. Let's look at it again, I don't believe that no one is perfect, he will have no shortcomings? Wait for him to make a mistake! ”

Although Li Qi was unwilling, he had been taught many times by Li Shanchang, even if he was a donkey, and he knew that he couldn't talk back to his father, so he could only do this first.

Watching his son leave, Li Shanchang recalled the content of his henchman's confession in his mind, and couldn't help but praise: "Giving birth to a son should be like Zhang Yifan!" ”

He was like this, and Prime Minister Hu Weiyong was the same, at first he was incredulous, and when he repeatedly confirmed that he knew that Xiangshan County was better than the previous rumors, he was stunned for a long time.

I don't know why, he suddenly had a sense of crisis. This colt is so capable, will the emperor let him be the prime minister?

However, in all dynasties, there was no horse as the prime minister, right?

Impossible, probably impossible!

That kid doesn't have hair on his mouth yet, how can he be the prime minister! It's child's play!

However, the crown prince has returned, everything in Xiangshan County will inevitably be truthfully told to the emperor, how can the emperor not be happy? If he is allowed to be the prime minister of the Ming Dynasty and govern the Ming Dynasty in the same way as Xiangshan County, the emperor will definitely be willing, right?

No, no, no, young people are easy to be impulsive, and the position of prime minister is very important, even if young people make achievements for a while, they can't be in a high position!

……

Hu Weiyong was irritable, so he went to the yard to take a walk and look at his beloved monkey.

That's right, Hu Weiyong likes to raise monkeys, and he also let those monkeys wear clothes and train them to pour tea and water.

However, when he arrived in the yard today, looking at those monkeys, Hu Weiyong found that he couldn't be happy either.

At this moment, he saw his son flashing by, and immediately became angry, and immediately drank his son and scolded: "I know all day long that I go out to fool around, and I drive wild in the downtown area, you can't learn something good, look at that Zhang Yifan, are you ashamed?" I see you, you are not even as good as these monkeys! ”

"Then I'm your son too!"

When Hu Weiyong heard this, he was so angry that he almost turned his back on it, this unfilial son, it is not uncommon for him to fall to death one day, it must be a sin, if that Zhang Yifan can be his own son, he will laugh out loud in his dreams!

People are more popular than people!

The news of Xiangshan County spread in Beijing and aroused many discussions. This time, a lot of people believed it.

So, just like that, Xiangshan County, which used to be a remote place, spread its reputation and almost became the most famous county in the Ming Dynasty.

After hearing this, many people were moved to see Xiangshan County. If possible, they even simply left and went directly, and by the way, they should go to spend the winter.

About five days after the prince returned to Beijing, Zhu Yuanzhang made a move.
