The cafeteria of Guozi University has also been divided into six from the only dining hall in the whole school. Each of the six classes has a cafeteria.

The chef who used to do everything, even pouring night incense, is now only responsible for cooking and cleaning the canteen.

In addition, Guozi University also paid the chefs to start work, but as a result, many chefs did not want to go home when their service expired, so they turned into contract workers on an annual contract and stayed to continue to work.

"Is this necessary?" Boss Zhu frowned when he heard this, why do you spend money to hire people if you don't use free labor?

"Erchen thinks it's necessary." The sixth child replied aloud: "If it is decided today, all kinds of waste are waiting to be revived, and it is urgent to rest with the people, so that the people can rest at ease at home to open up wasteland and farm land." ”

"Well, that's true." Boss Zhu nodded and listened to him continue.

"Most of the people who come to Beijing to serve are the pillars of the family, and they have to leave home for more than a year when they come and go. The sixth man continued:

So it seems that the court saved money, but the people lost it. The father and emperor are based on the people, and the sons and ministers really can't bear to hurt the people and benefit the court! ”

This level of speech shocked the prince, is this still his sixth brother who is 'uneducated in his belly, and I will go to the world'?

It's impressive.

"Well, that makes sense." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded happily and said: "At present, the court is too poor and has no choice, and when there is money in the future, this method must be adopted to disturb the lives of the people less." ”

"The father is merciful, and the wisdom is not better than the father." The sixth hurriedly served the sycophants. In fact, he just didn't want to use temporary workers. If you have a long-term specialization in the industry, you can cook delicious and hygienic food.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Chu is doing this, I'm afraid it's breaking the rules, right?" When the ministers heard this, they all changed their faces. Xue Xiang, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, couldn't help but say: "The various yamen of the imperial court can move all by the servants who don't spend money. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, how embarrassing this is for the yamen......" even Zhang Du said stiffly.

In the wonderful financial system of the Ming Dynasty, all taxes are not sent to the treasury, and they are directly sent to the yamen of the six ministries and five temples. Therefore, the yamen of each ministry actually earns and disburses independently, and there is no way to ask the household department for money when there is no money. Because the household department is just a bookkeeper, just like them, they are poor.

Therefore, if the emperor really wants to listen to the words of the king of Chu, cancel the free labor, and spend money to hire people instead, such a large amount of expenses will definitely have to be paid by the yamen themselves.

Then don't you have to worry about the death of the ministry?

~~

Some people may wonder how these ministers dare to speak out in front of the king of Chu. Don't give any face?

It's really not a face-saving ......

Since being pushed to the front by Boss Zhu and singing against the civil and military officials, the relationship between several princes and ministers has long been in flames.

You don't see the second and third children, they are already in the domain, and they are being chased and beaten by officials, and they are not criticized and criticized, and they will not give up.

Not to mention that last year, because of the monitoring of hundreds of officials, he was reduced to the fourth child who everyone shouted and beaten......

As the loyal accomplice of the third and fourth spy leaders, the situation of the sixth is a little stronger than that of the fourth.

Where's the strength? Probably no one dared to scold him to his face, so he could only use the excuse to stab him a few words openly and secretly.

Although the sixth child is indignant, the court belongs to his family, and the necessary decency must be maintained, and he can't directly serve him in his pocket.

And in the future, the historian will inevitably have to make a note - 'In a certain year and month, the king of Chu and the king of the sea slapped a certain Shangshu for no reason', who can stand this?

So he can only move his mouth, not his hands, and now that he is the principal, he can't explode foul language......

"What do you think?" Zhu Yuanzhang motioned to the sixth child to be calm and not be impatient, and glanced at Hu Weiyong.

"Lao Chen thinks there is nothing wrong. First, the emperor said that the court would have money in the future, not that it would be changed to an employment system now. Hu Weiyong smiled at everyone:

"Second, this is a royal university, and it is the prince of the Ming Dynasty who runs the school, who can climb the companions? Can you climb it? ”

"Haha, the old nonsense is right." Boss Zhu praised Hu Weiyong and said: "The sixth child can find money, he can do whatever he wants." ”

That's what silenced the criticism...... Of course, Hu Xiang will inevitably be looked down upon by others, and he will be blamed for blindly welcoming him.

~~

Zhu Zhen took Boss Zhu Junchen to visit the stables, racetracks, shooting gardens, and martial arts arenas of Guozi University......

Among the six arts of the gentleman, there is Yuhe shooting, so it is also reasonable to have these in Guozi University. The visiting officials couldn't fault it.

But there is also a swimming pool is too much - in the north of Jiming Mountain, when Nanjing City was built, Boss Zhu borrowed Xuanwu Lake as a natural moat at the same time, cut a corner of Xuanwu Lake into the city, and then turned it into a rectangular pond.

The weeping willows around the pond are swaying in the wind, and a circle of blue striped stones is also paved.

Xu Duo, who had been transferred from Ying Tianfu Yin to the head of the household department, was excited when he saw this, and said in his heart that he had been waiting for the fish to open his mouth for two months. Fishing here is not alive or dead?

But when I got closer, the pond water was crystal clear, like a piece of blue crystal, not to mention the fish, not even the aquatic plants.

"What's going on?" Boss Zhu also felt strange: "It's blue and blue, and it's weird and good-looking." ”

"Drain all the water at the bottom of the pond, dig up the silt, and tamp it and lay it with stone slabs." The sixth child introduced: "Then put in the precipitated and filtered clean water." ”

"Why is the water the color of that?" Boss Zhu asked.

"Alum, he added alum to purify the water!" Xue Xiang, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, was well-informed, and said, "How much do you have to add to this?" ”

"It's okay, we have a mine at home." The sixth said lightly.

This is not an exaggeration, but a statement of facts. Under the whole world, it is not the king's land, and all minerals are owned by the Zhu family.

As a magic weapon for purifying water quality in this era, alum is a must-have for ocean voyages. The alum used by the city fleet was picked out from the ancient road of alum picking in Cangnan Mountain, Wenzhou, loaded on the Chixi River, and transported to various city ships for backup.

For ordinary people, alum may be a medicinal material by two names, but for the Haizheng Yamen, it is a consumable material that is consumed in large quantities. Not to mention purifying this pond of water, even filling the entire pond with alum is just a matter of Lao Liu's words.

"Is it for the students to make the water so clean?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

"No, the drinking water is higher than that." Lao Liu smiled: "This is a place for students to swim." ”

"What?!" The high-ranking officials were dumbfounded. "Swimming?"

"That's right." The sixth nodded and said: "It's a pity that this outdoor swimming pool has to wait for the weather to warm up before you can go into the water, and now the water is just for my father and you to see the effect." ”

"That's too extravagant, isn't it?!" The adults exclaimed in unison.

"Back then, Shi Chongwang Kai was rich, but he just used rice milk to wash his 'hair', candles to make soup, and silk as a barrier...... In front of His Highness's crystal clear alum water, it is not worth mentioning. ”
