Zhu Youzhu has a demand for this, and Zhang Zhou is of course willing to give away things that cross the era.

Moreover, the manufacturing cost of firing glass is not large for Zhang Zhou, but the loss rate of the finished product is extremely high, compared to the emperor's gift to him...... It's still minimal.

Zhang Zhou is also happy to be generous once.

"Your Majesty, twenty, have you seen enough?" Zhang Zhoudao.

"Enough!"

Zhu Youzhu didn't expect that this thing could still be mass-produced.

Dai Yi asked, "Mr. Zhang, this thing is very expensive, right?" ”

Zhu Youzhu also realized something, and hurriedly said: "I asked the Ministry of Industry to cooperate with you, just mention how much you need to allocate it." ”

"Your Majesty, these twenty telescopes should be paid tribute to the court, and they will often be made in several batches in the future, but this thing is currently only made by the ministers themselves, and the ministers don't want to spend too much time on such things......"

"I see, I shouldn't distract you at this time. Or forget it. ”

Zhu Youzhu seemed very reasonable.

Earlier, it was also said that Zhang Zhou should concentrate on the Jinshi examination, and now let Zhang Zhou make a telescope for the imperial court, and the emperor cannot be trusted.

Zhang Zhou said solemnly: "The minister wants to be admitted to the court, but also to share the worries of the court, and now there is a matter of sharing worries for the court, but the minister sits back and ignores it for the sake of fame, that is, the minister does not distinguish between the lord and the secondary." The minister cannot ignore the attack and harassment of the Ming frontier by thieves. ”

"Good!"

Zhu Youzhu listened to Zhang Zhou's words, and was even more satisfied with Zhang Zhou, a courtier who was both capable and loyal to the monarch and patriotic, "I will let Dongchang cooperate, and if you have any requirements, you just have to mention them to them." East Factory! ”

Xiao Jing hurriedly stepped forward: "The slave must cooperate with Mr. Zhang to build a telescope." ”

……

……

That's all it takes to get down to business.

Zhu Youzhu has to talk about some "private matters" again.

Zhang Zhou can't even tell which one is public and which one is private, and there is no trivial matter in heaven.

“…… I punished the prince for studying behind closed doors, and usually sent a lecturer to give him a lecture, and if Bingkuanling had leisure, he could also go to the East Palace to give him a few lectures. ”

Previously, Zhu Youzhi asked Zhang Zhou to enter the palace to give a lecture to Zhu Houzhao, but it was only temporary, not normal.

It will come only if there is a call-up.

But now listening to Zhu Youji's meaning, he wants to turn his lecture into a kind of customization, as if he is preaching on the day of the feast, and it also belongs to "after-school tutoring", and he will not disturb him when the lecturer of the Hanlin Academy enters the lecture.

The emperor probably also considered that he was not a jinshi at the moment, and it was difficult for him to integrate into the Hanlin circle.

Wang Wei, the chief examiner of Zhang Zhouxiang's exam, is just a lecturer in the East Palace.

Zhang Zhou said: "The minister's decree." ”

Zhu Youzhu asked: "Bingkuan, if you want to concentrate on studying, is it better to go to Guozijian to feel at ease, or is it better to find another quiet place?" ”

"Naturally, I want to find a quiet place."

"Then how about letting you go to the East Palace to accompany the prince?"

Zhu Youji, who is a father, suddenly made a whimsical proposal.

The approximate meaning is to let Zhang Zhou go to the East Palace to accompany the prince to study.

The kind that accompanies you day and night.

Of course, Zhang Zhou doesn't want to lose his freedom, but if he has the opportunity to be alone with Zhu Houzhao for a while, it will definitely be of great help to the cultivation of this bear child's personality and outlook on life, and he can even plant some seeds for Zhu Houzhao, so that Zhu Houzhao knows how big the outside world is.

Shouldn't it be limited to being a martial artist, and will fight and use it? What the Ming Dynasty needs is not a foolish emperor, but a pioneer who works hard to change the times.

Of course, anyone who is a pioneer can be the one, whether it is Zhu Youji, Zhu Houzhao, or he Zhang Zhou.

However, with Zhang Zhou's current situation, he can only influence the pioneers in some ways, and he can't do it himself.

"The minister didn't dare to expect that." Zhang Zhoudao.

"I'm afraid you're working hard! Otherwise, give you three days to tidy up your telescope and settle your home. Let you go to the East Palace, and it will not completely restrict you from entering and leaving, and then I will summon you out to talk about things, and let you go home and see more......"

Zhu Youzhu hadn't come up with anything to keep Zhang Zhou in the palace.

Now the ready-made excuse is to place Zhang Zhou in the East Palace as the prince's companion, so that Zhang Zhou can be on call and be known by the ministers, and he will not think that Zhang Zhou, a scholar, will mess up the rules of the palace.

"Obey the order!"

……

……

Xiao Jing sent Zhang Zhou out of the palace.

Xiao Jing said with emotion: "Mr. Zhang, no one has ever been so valued by His Majesty, not even that Li Guang. You are the first person in the Ming Dynasty. ”

Zhang Zhoudao: "Gonggong Xiao is lifted, but he is just doing his best to assist Mingjun." ”

"Huh."

Xiao Jing looked around, and then came up and said, "Mr. Zhang, you are now deeply favored, but you have to be cautious, there must be someone who wants to win you over and win you over, that treacherous person wants to follow Li Guang's path again, if you can't resist their methods, you can sink into it...... You have to beware. ”

"Father-in-law Xiao reminded me and thanked him. There is no conspiracy outside of duty. ”

Zhang Zhou thought to himself, you are really right, Yang Peng has already started to be a springboard and began to introduce powerful people who want to run relationships to me.

In addition, you powerful eunuchs are also afraid that there will be another character who is more powerful than Li Guang, so that you will not sing at all, so you will say this to me, right?

"Your Majesty values you so much, you must be rewarded a lot, even if you fail the Jinshi exam in your life, you will not have to worry about eating and drinking." Xiao Jing sighed.

Zhang Zhou smiled and didn't reply.

You can't be a man without ambition, and Zhang Zhou will not be satisfied with the status quo.

Although he also heard it, Xiao Jing didn't have much expectations for him to be admitted to the Jinshi.

In the eyes of others, he is already holding a golden rice bowl, can the Jinshi entrance examination make this job bowl higher?

"By the way, Mr. Zhang, at the end of this month, it is the winter solstice, and there will be a winter sacrifice as usual, Your Majesty is very dissatisfied with the arrangement of Qin Tianjian this year, or you need to bother."

"Okay."

Winter Festival......

When I go back, I'm going to study the etiquette again.

Zhang Zhou knew very well that the Qin Tianjian of the Ming Dynasty was a special yamen, and the selection of officials did not follow the usual path, according to the regulations: "The supervisor shall not change to another official, and his descendants shall not be promoted or promoted unless there is a special purpose." If there is a vacancy, it will be filled by the supervisor step by step. ”

The meaning is like a military household, passed from generation to generation, unless it can't be passed on, and then the people below will rise.

Zhang Zhou was also thinking in his heart, if I don't pass the Jinshi exam, even if I am given a five-grade prison, my life will be ruined!

How else can I realize my ambition of entering the phase, becoming an industrialist, and conquering the world?

……

……

After Zhang Zhou returned, he had to be busy building telescopes and taking care of his family.

Because he knew that he was about to enter the palace as a monk for a period of time, he really "accompanied the prince to study", of course, not to support others, but to achieve his great mission of preaching and receiving karma to solve doubts.

Go brainwash Zhu Houzhao.

Before leaving, of course, you must pay the public rations.

Zhang Zhou was also a little depressed.

It has been three months since I came to Daming, and my wife and concubine's stomach has not moved at all, obviously I have worked hard, but it seems that I only sow, and I have not seen the seeds germinate.

On this day, Zhang Zhou was still polishing the edges of the telescope lenses so that they could fit into the craftsmen's special wooden pipes.

But it was Zhu Feng who arrived and handed Zhang Zhou a letter.

Zhang Zhou knew that Zhu Feng didn't have to be on duty in the palace recently, and every time Zhu Feng invited him out, he also refused on the grounds that he was busy with official business and studies.

He didn't know what Zhu Feng was usually doing.

"What?" Zhang Zhou asked.

Zhu Feng said: "Miss Lin's letter to you." ”

Zhang Zhou put down his sword at this time, looked up at Zhu Feng, and saw that the loss in Zhu Feng's eyes was not pretended.

"The one with the second son of the Lin Sai Restaurant?"

"Yes!"

Zhang Zhou is also very strange, aren't you Zhu Zhijie "out of love"?

How can you still see it?

Zhu Feng reluctantly squeezed out a smile, and added to himself comfortingly: "She is a beautiful girl, I am a man, and it is an honor to serve her." ”

Zhang Zhouxin said, are you sorry for what you said?

When the letter was opened, it was not a love letter or a letter from a pen pal, but it was a letter from Lin Yi telling him a big reason.

To sum it up...... For the sake of the righteousness of your family and country, and for your own personal future, you must report to the country.

"What's it?" Zhu Feng asked.

Zhang Zhou read the ten lines and handed them back.

Zhu Feng smiled bitterly: "I can't see it, okay?" ”

"Look."

Only then did Zhu Feng take a serious look at the letter.

After reading it, he shook his head and said, "It seems that Miss Lin is grateful for her father's embarrassment, and she will tell you something for her father." ”

Zhang Zhoudao: "You know that I am going to enter the palace to accompany the prince to study, why do I have the leisure to go to the country?" You have also seen what happened to you last time, and you still have to save face as a man. Just tell her and I'll talk about it later. ”

"This ...... Why don't you write a letter to her, Brother Zhang, to make it clear to her? Villain...... I don't want to be! ”

Zhang Zhou wanted to say, are you in love?

As he was talking, Zhu Daqi came in at the door and said, "The second son, the eldest son, the British duke is here!" ”

Zhu Daqi was very nervous, probably still worried about the last time his second son was kicked out of the door by Zhang Mao, afraid that Zhang Mao would settle accounts after coming to the autumn, this was probably to remind his son-in-law to run away.

Zhang Zhou frowned.

Now his home address is not a secret, Zhang Mao can find out if he has a heart, but Zhang Mao can come directly to his workshop...... That's a bit of a surprise.

As he spoke, a strange bearded old man stepped through the door uninvited.

"Zhu Xian's nephew is also there?"

Zhang Mao came up to Zhu Feng with great goodwill, and his smile was very perfunctory, with the unique hypocrisy of the scene.

Zhu Feng didn't even bother to say hello, and leaned under the wall.

That kick...... It hurt him.

When I was using me, I was "Zhu Xian's nephew", and I forgot to scold me for being a "little brute" when I kicked me out and embarrassed me? What if you're a British prince? I'm not unfamiliar with you!

"Your Excellency, English Lord?" Zhang Zhoudao.

Zhang Mao had a very polite attitude, as if he was familiar with Zhang Zhou, and hugged his fists and said, "You are Bingkuan, right?" I have heard your name for a long time, and today the old man came to visit and send some thank-you gifts to thank you for saving the dog...... By the way, can you tell us how to diagnose and treat it next? ”

Zhu Feng couldn't help but glance at Zhang Zhou.

That look seemed to remind Zhang Zhou, let's not have anything to do with this bad old man, even if the medicine was given to him in vain, don't be deceived by his small favors.

Oops, the old man is very bad.
