He Qiu felt that he couldn't stop Zhu Yuanzhang, so he could only put all his thoughts on teaching the emperors and grandchildren.

Zhu Yuanzhang did one thing relatively well, he gathered all the emperors and grandchildren together to attend classes, so as to save He Qiu the trouble of running around in the future.

And the emperors and grandchildren get together, it will not make Zhu Yunwen too lonely, but in private, He Qiu also has a guess, I am afraid that Zhu Yuanzhang is also to avoid the next generation from being too rusty.

After all, these emperors and grandchildren, their fathers have been sealed in various places as vassal kings, and they haven't seen each other for many years, so getting together to study and study at one time is also a good time to contact feelings.

There are not many emperors and grandchildren who have reached the age of studying, more than a dozen people, large and small, and they don't have much time together, and Zhu Gaoxu has become the head of the child.

Zhu Gaochu does have a kind of temperament that can make others listen to him, naturally, there will be those who don't listen, and at this time, Zhu Gaoxu's force value is higher than that of others.

He Qiu is in this courtyard dedicated to the grandson of the Pope, and generally follows some of the previous practices in Zhixing Academy, with weekly exams, social practice and sports.

And compared to the Zhixing Academy, He Qiu did one more thing, he took out every issue of the imperial court newspapers, and from time to time picked one or two important ones from above, and asked these emperors and grandsons to comment on the incident, to put it bluntly, a bit like a question.

However, He Qiu did not require them to quote scriptures, as long as they could analyze something by themselves, He Qiu would approve of it, and then let them exchange what they wrote and discuss it with each other.

When they finished discussing, He Qiu would also talk about his own opinions, and the final decision of the imperial court, he was also trying to avoid these imperial grandsons from becoming waste.

I am afraid that the policy of the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty will soon be changed, compared to history, this time Zhu Biao was assassinated by the joint vassal kings, which touched Zhu Yuanzhang a lot, I am afraid that these vassal kings will not be given so much power, as for whether it can be hereditary, how to demote the lord, it is unknown.

This time, He Qiu told these emperors and grandsons about arithmetic, and Zhu Yunwen stood up and said very puzzled.

"Sir, the masters of the East Palace told me that arithmetic is a small technique, and it is not worth mentioning, Zhiguo still has to read the sage's subtle words, but why do you emphasize arithmetic so much?"

He Qiu smiled and said nothing, and called Zhu Gaochi up for him to explain.

Zhu Gaochi has now successfully lost weight, no longer obese in the past, and the whole person resembles Zhu Di's figure, but his temperament has not changed much.

Zhu Gaochi stood up and smiled gently, and then said humbly.

"For the purpose of arithmetic, it is more suitable for governing the country than the sage's subtle words, and Gao Xu and I helped my brother-in-law deal with logistics in the Miyun camp."

"At that time, was it useful to use the subtle words of a saint? Can he help you figure out how much rations each unit needs? ”

"What's more, the six ancient arts, aren't they counted? It's just that the people of today have lost this piece, and now my sister ...... The gentleman took this out to us and emphasized that it was just a restoration of Confucian justice. ”

Zhu Yunwen seemed to have an understanding, He Qiu asked Zhu Gaochi to sit down first, and then looked at the circle of emperors and grandsons around him and said.

"There is a saying that is good, if you don't have a family, you don't know the price of firewood and rice. If you don't know how many people there are in the domain, how much food the palace has, don't say a little bit, if you become a thief and take your money and food, can you know? ”

As soon as He Qiu said this, the enthusiasm of these emperors and grandsons to listen to the lectures immediately rose, and He Qiu didn't play with them, there will definitely be this, not to mention anything else, look at how the imperial court can find out so many corrupt officials every year, this is still full of sage books.

The people in the vassal palaces in their various places are not as good as these officials in terms of moral ability, how can there be no corruption?

At the end of a class, He Qiu left Zhu Yunwen alone and explained him more clearly.

"Taisun, you must know that arithmetic is the foundation of governing the country, you see that if you want to govern the country, you must always know the data of various places, such as how many people are in the country, how much grain there is, and how much silver is in the treasury.

Knowing these data, and then using the knowledge of arithmetic, accounting, and allocation, can the whole country be smoothly governed. ”

"As for those people who are not of great use in arithmetic, I suggest that Taisun can drive them away from the East Palace, such people probably have no talent to govern places."

"As long as the officials on the ruling side can understand the importance of arithmetic, without arithmetic, how can they really grasp all kinds of data under the rule? If you can't get the people below to embezzle, you will hold the pot on him, and he doesn't even know it! ”

Zhu Yunwen nodded, thanked He Qiu, and returned to the palace.

Zhu Yunwen also had some thoughts, and the first step was not to find those who told him that arithmetic was useless, but directly found Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yuanzhang has so rich experience in governing the country, he will definitely be able to give a clear answer.

Zhu Yuanzhang listened to Zhu Yunwen repeat the incident, and He Qiu's remarks also came out, Zhu Yuanzhang sighed and said.

"He Qiu really teaches you seriously, don't listen to those scholars talk nonsense about this kind of thing, they go to the place, if they don't have the ability, they can naturally be a Taiping official, and all the big and small things will be handed over to the master and the little officials, no matter whether the people live or die, maybe they will still be a clean official in this term."

"But can we be emperors like this? If the people are dissatisfied and raise the anti-flag, the first to bear the brunt will be the people of our old Zhu family! ”

Zhu Yunwen understood that Zhu Yuanzhang was supporting He Qiu, so he quickly nodded seriously and said.

"My grandson understands that he will work hard to learn the knowledge of arithmetic in the future, even if his qualifications are dull, but I believe that diligence can make up for his clumsiness, and he can always learn well."

Zhu Yuanzhang said with relief: "Good boy, with this heart, I can rest assured." ”

When Zhu Yunwen returned to the East Palace, he found Huang Zicheng, who was in the East Palace before, and told him about it, hoping that Huang Zicheng could give him guidance.

After Huang Zicheng came, after listening to Zhu Yunwen's words, he stroked his beard, frowned, and said helplessly.

"The minister understands this, there are a lot of them in the East Palace, let him take care of the affairs of the imperial dining room, and even a few people under him don't know, the waiter who purchased the ingredients bought it at a high price, and he didn't know how much silver he embezzled, he turned a blind eye."

"Later, the ministers couldn't bear it anymore and reported to the former prince, so he was kicked out of the palace."

"What the good townsman said is naturally a little biased, governing the country should still be based on benevolence and righteousness, and the position of arithmetic should not be raised too high, but this is by no means what those people said, arithmetic is a small art."

When Huang Zicheng said this, he also understood what Zhu Yunwen meant by looking for him, and took the initiative to say.

"Your Highness, I will find an excuse for this group of people tomorrow to drive them out of the East Palace, Your Highness should not worry about this."

Zhu Yunwen bowed deeply and said.

"Please, sir."

Huang Zicheng accepted it calmly, and then hurriedly left the East Palace, but along the way, Huang Zicheng was thinking about today's matter.

Is Taisun a little too shrewd? Calculated everything so clearly, he had already asked His Majesty about it, and he had to ask him again.

If you want to drive that group of people out of the East Palace, and you don't want to be this wicked person, you can directly talk to him, and going around like this is not right.

Huang Zicheng could only comfort himself in the end, the grandson is still young, he may not understand these things very well, and his relationship with him is not as good as Zhu Biao and him.
