If the literacy rate of the people comes up, the pencil is actually more convenient than the brush.

However, in the era when Confucian scholars monopolized the right to disseminate knowledge, the pencil was not destined to develop much, unless the future emperor was literate, but this was almost impossible.

So Zhang Yi is not optimistic about the use of pencils,

Selling it to the army seems to be a way, and if you let the scout carry it with you, it may be a little more convenient than charcoal.

Zhang Yi didn't ask much, he knew that a businessman like Lao Zhu might not use the pencil as a means to make money, maybe he could contribute at a loss and get greater benefits.

But all this has nothing to do with him, whether it is the Chang family or his other ways, Zhang Yi doesn't care.

Regarding the possible risks of the Chang family, Zhang Yi has been informed, and how to do it is Huang He's own business.

After three rounds of drinking, the guards came to remind Zhu Yuanzhang that he should return to the palace.

Zhang Normal also received a hint and knew that he should leave.

"Brother Zhang, you are going to enter the palace tomorrow, and the saint will be happy!"

Zhu Yuanzhang held Zhang Normal's hand before leaving, and sent blessings, Zhang Normal had mixed feelings, Long Yan Dayue or Long Yan was angry, didn't you still have the final say?

"Your Majesty, General Xu and his team can enter the city tomorrow morning!"

The inspector reported the news of Xu Da and his party to Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes narrowed into a line, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was very playful.

"Tomorrow at noon, arrange for Kong Kejian to enter the palace, and Zhang will be more normal at night!"

After the emperor finished speaking, he got into the car, leaving Nuoda a Huangfu and a thoughtful Gao Jianxian.

……

Outside the Heavenly City, in a post station.

An old man looked at Ying Tianfu in the distance thoughtfully.

"Is Yan Shenggong's body better?"

Behind the old man, stood a man in his thirties with a handsome figure.

The old man didn't look back, facing Xu Da, the first person in the Ming army behind him, he was always a little resentful.

However, the situation is stronger than people, and when the emperor of Yingtianfu brought that sentence through Xu Da, he had to come to Yingtian to see the Ming Emperor when the situation was not clear.

He was unwilling, but he didn't dare to disobey.

Along the way, he has dragged on for some time by taking advantage of his physical illness, but no matter how long the road is, there is a moment to finish, seeing that Ying Tianfu is close in front of him, the irritability in Kong Kejian's heart is becoming more and more depressed.

"My body has already improved, and I don't dare to be bad, after all, the son of tomorrow has said that no matter how bad the old man's illness is, he just looks down on him!"

There was a hint of resentment in Kong Kejian's voice, how could Xu Da not hear it?

It's just that he won't, and he doesn't want to get involved in his extraordinary, so it's rare to be confused.

At the same time, he also felt a little sorry for the Yan Sheng Gong in front of him, and he also understood that the people of the Kong family had their own pride and self-confidence.

After Confucianism became the orthodoxy of the world, the descendants of the Holy Master naturally had the preferential treatment of scholars, and this preferential treatment, with the rewards of successive emperors, has become the proud capital of the Confucian family.

The emperor of flowing water, the Kong family of iron.

As long as he Kong Kejian is not involved in rebellion, even if the emperor is dissatisfied with him, he will still give him what he should give.

What he is unwilling to do is that the Mongolian dumplings are given more, so that the Kong family, who has always been offered on the altar, misses the power of power very much.

Xu Da didn't understand the pride of the Kong family, but he was familiar with that Fa Xiao.

I'm afraid this Episcopal Church will be disappointed.

"General Xu, the old man is tired, just let my son stay here with me!"

"Nayan Holy Father, rest early!"

Beside the two, there was a Confucian student in his thirties, who was Kong Kejian's son Kong Xixue, who smiled at Xu Da when he saw that Xu Da was leaving.

Xu Damo was silent and exited the room between the two.

Leaving the present and the future Yan Sheng Gong to look at each other.

"Father, you wanted to hold your illness and let your son deal with this big tomorrow, but in the end, it fell short!"

Kong Kejian's face was gloomy, and he said:

"If my father doesn't come, those people's knives will fall on the heads of our Kong family, and these bandits have nothing to say, they can only deal with it, if it is undecided today, although the Ming Emperor has become a general trend, but the Yuan army is not completely hopeless in the north, our Confucian family must not be too enthusiastic in the imperial court of the day when the situation in the world is undecided!

If one day the king goes south, the emperor will misunderstand our Confucian family! ”

Speaking of this matter, Kong Kejian, the Holy Father, is still uneasy. Kong Xixue understood his father's grievances.

The status of the Kong family is transcendent, and it is normal that no matter who wins the world, the Kong family must be held. It's just that the Kong family doesn't want to enter the game so quickly.

The reason is that although Zhu Yuanzhang proclaimed himself emperor in Yingtianfu and established the Ming Dynasty, the imperial court he wanted to overthrow actually still had a large territory in the north.

Although the Yuan Dynasty has shown its defeat, it is not without a glimmer of life.

According to Kong Kejian's calculations, Daming can't be offended, but he must not accept Daming's reward before the situation in the world is settled.

Xu Da was so foolish, he had already compromised and was ready to let Kong Xi learn to enter the Jingmian Saint.

Who knew that Emperor Daming suddenly came to instruct and asked Kong Kejian, did he look down on Daming?

Alas......

"Father, what should we do tomorrow?"

"When I meet the emperor tomorrow, the old man will 'relapse from the old disease', and the rest will be left to you to deal with!"

When the father and son said this, outside the wall, a school inspector put away the listening tools he had fastened to the wall, and then wrote hard next door.

Write down these conversations, encapsulate them, and the conversation between Kong Kejian's father and son has arrived at the palace three hours later.

Night, deep!

Ying Tianfu had already entered the curfew at night, and the door of the palace was also closed.

In the East Pavilion, Zhu Biao stretched his waist and yawned.

He looked at the emperor at the top again, and he still worked hard to write.

Zhu Biao's admiration for Zhu Yuanzhang, who works hard, is undisguised.

Obviously, he drank normally with Zhang, and the emperor also drank a lot, under normal circumstances, he should rest as soon as possible today.

It's just that Emperor Hongwu's diligence even a young man like him can't keep up.

Lao Zhu took a sip of strong tea, and buried his head in the high recital, tireless!

"If you're tired, go back and rest, and I'll see it again......"

Although Zhu Yuanzhang concentrates on his work, he also knows Zhu Biao's actions.

When Zhu Biao heard this, he smiled: "My father didn't rest, how could my son sleep alone, my son accompanied my father!" ”

The father and son looked at each other and smiled, Lao Zhu was trying to get up and finish today's work, and someone outside came to report that there was a secret letter.

"It's so late, the palace doors are closed, where is the secret report?"

Zhu Biao was puzzled, but Lao Zhu knew it.

He took the sealed letter from the eunuch's hand, opened it, skimmed it quickly, and then handed it to Zhu Biao with a dark face.

After reading it, Zhu Biao's face was also ugly.

"It seems that the younger brother of the Zhang family is right, once a person walks off the altar and has a desire, he will make frequent tricks!"

Zhu Biao put down the secret letter, and the little concern about the Kong family in his heart disappeared without a trace!
