Chapter 13: The Monkey Writes Poetry

Zhu Bai blinked: "Then buy it back from others and study and improve it yourself." ”

Chinese dare not say anything else, in the matter of imitation and improvement, they are definitely experts.

Zhu Yuanzhang slapped the table.

The princes shuddered in fright and glared at him.

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up: "Okay, I want the coastal traders to buy Francis's things and come back." Ming'er said this earlier, look at the Ministry of Industry, is there anything else needed by the Ministry of War? ”

Zhu Bai became excited when he heard this, and said, "Can my father help me bring two things?" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang squinted at him: "You kid, if you give you three points of color, you will open a dyeing workshop." ”

Zhu Bai salivated and said, "It's all gadgets, not expensive." It's also fun to read and draw on books. Besides, if the son-in-law runs first, how can the father give the son-in-law some rewards. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang sneered: "Who said on the Chengtian Gate Tower just now that he wanted to distribute the rewards to the brothers." ”

Zhu Bai grinned: "Then the father will buy eleven copies and come back, and our brothers will have one copy each." ”

Since the brothers have come to intercede for him, he naturally cannot treat them badly.

He has always had a clear grudge.

When the other princes heard this, their eyes lit up with excitement and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang choked: It's been put in again, this little slippery head is using his silver as a favor......

It's just that he is stared at like this by his eleven sons, and no old father can stand it.

He blushed and replied vaguely: "Well....."

Then the princes, all of them were overjoyed, quietly poked the people next to them with their elbows, and then saluted Zhu Yuanzhang together: "Thank you, father." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help laughing out loud, and pointed at them: "Look at you boys, how happy you are one by one." It's just going to toss around these useless things. ”

The princes were about to leave, and Erhu brought in the "bicycle" with someone.

The princes all looked surprised, and their heads followed the car.

Zhu Yuanzhang lowered his face: "When I finish researching this thing, I will naturally return it to you." No, ask the Ministry of Industry to make two more cars, and look at you all like black-eyed chickens. ”

The princes' eyes lit up again.

Zhu Bai hurriedly said: "Father, this time, the sons are in a hurry and do it roughly. If you ask the Ministry of Engineering to do it again, you need to use strong and wear-resistant dark iron to make chains and gears.

And this car is built according to my body, my brother and father rode it, it was too small and too short, and I had to increase the size.

Besides, I was only thinking about how to go fast, so I didn't think about slowing down at all, and the Ministry of Engineering had to find a way to put brakes on it, otherwise it would be very dangerous. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted: "I'll just tell me, do you think I will really ask the Ministry of Industry to make toys for you." Study hard, don't just think about playing. I'm going to test you in a few days! ”

The next day, Zhu Yuanzhang really talked about this matter in the morning.

The Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War were all rejoicing.

Hubu Shangshu Ru Taisu came out of the queue and reminded Lao Zhu in a low voice: "Your Majesty, we are still forbidden to the sea." ”

If the sea is forbidden, the merchant ships outside can't get in, and the merchant ships inside can't get out, so how can they buy things?

Zhu Biao stepped forward: "My father has always said that if you want to restore the glory of my Tang and Song dynasties in China, it is better to try the sea ban and let the Quartet come to the court." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang pursed his lips and thought for a while, and said: "In the first year of Hongwu, the imperial court promulgated the sea ban, firstly, to prevent the people from going to sea without permission to be plundered by the Japanese invaders, and also to prevent the Japanese from disguising themselves as fishermen to go ashore to rob. Second, it is also a barren farmland, and agriculture should be encouraged, and there is no need to sail and do business. Now that there is a need, you can try to open a place where it is difficult for the Japanese to go ashore. Where do you say it would be appropriate? ”

Ru Taisu said: "Guangzhou Mansion." The water in the port is deep and the waves are flat, far away from the Japanese and close to the South Seas. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded: "Then open the Guangzhou Mansion sea ban first." Let me be majestic and carry it overseas. ”

If you open the sea, you can do business, and you can make money.

Ru Taisu couldn't help but be overjoyed when she heard this: she knelt down busily: "The emperor is sage." ”

-----

Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the Ministry of Industry to build a few large bicycles, in addition to playing for the princes, he himself rode around the door of the imperial study when he was bored.

Not to mention, this stuff is fun. It's much less strenuous than walking.

Look back and think about it. Although that bastard boy is naughty, he has done something right again and again.

For the first time, he tore the fold and promoted the streamlining of the imperial court. Both the early dynasty and the batch folding efficiency are much higher than in the past.

The second time he exchanged shots with Zhu Di, the princes began to learn martial arts, and Zhu Biao's body became stronger and stronger.

Won the race for the third time, made a bicycle, let him open the sea ban, introduce Western things, and trade with foreign countries.

In a short period of time, the taxes paid by coastal merchants increased substantially.

I heard that the Ministry of Industry has already bought some firearms and is researching, and it is really much faster than thinking about it myself.

On that day, he watched the Ministry of Engineering shoot a porcelain bottle with a modified musket, and the porcelain bottle was smashed to pieces with one shot. Moreover, gunpowder was loaded quickly, and the combat effectiveness increased exponentially.

It makes him still have a little hope in his heart, see what this kid will do next time, and make him stronger.

But this boy suddenly settled down.

It's so quiet......

It was so quiet that he was a little unaccustomed to it.

Zhu Yuanzhang watched the music for a while every day, and he had to prick up his ears to listen to see if any eunuchs came over to tell him that Zhu Bai was in trouble again.

But there was no movement for many days.

Today, Zhu Yuanzhang finally couldn't hold back and asked Erhu: "What has the old twelve been tinkering with lately?" ”

Erhu replied: "The emperor said that day that he wanted to check the schoolwork of the princes, so in the past few days, several princes have been honestly learning to make articles. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted: "Just him, can that monkey-like sit down and learn to make a fuss?" ”

Children are noisy, you are noisy.

The child is quiet, and you are afraid.

What do you want?

Erhu secretly scolded himself, lowered his hand and replied: "Yes." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang asked again: "Which master is giving a lecture today?" ”

Erhu replied: "Liu Bowen, Lord Liu." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while: "Let's go, go to the main hall and have a look." Look at what kind of article this rabbit cub has made for holding back for so many days. ”

Today, Liu Bowen is composing poems among the Pope's sons.

Liu Ji, whose name is Bowen, is proficient in astronomy, the art of war, mathematics, etc., and is especially good at poetry.

At this time, in the hall, Liu Bowen designated a topic, asking the older princes to come up with a five-word and four-sentence quatrain.

The four princes who are less than ten years old, starting with Zhu Zi, one sentence per person, just formed a song.

Zhu Bai scolded Liu Bowen in his heart for a morning: What the hell, I only studied for a long time and asked me to compose poems, what the hell?

The key is that the four princes are one sentence per person, if the three wastes in front of me come up with some bullshit poems, can I still be able to break them back?

The crown prince to the seventh prince have all done it smoothly, no matter whether the artistic conception is good or bad, at least the battle is neat and smooth.

When he arrived at the Eighth Prince Zhu Zi, he was messed up.
