Wu Lou.

Zhu Gaochi sat on the couch, there were two cups of hot tea on the desk in front of him, the tea was from Fujian Province, Zhu Gaochi, who was reading the newspaper, saw He Kuan's news, and thought about it for a moment before remembering this person.

"In the future, the tea used in the palace will be used in Fujian."

Zhu Gaochi said slowly.

"Yes."

The eunuch laughed.

With the increase of the wealthy population, many people have solved the problem of food and clothing, and tea has become a daily necessity for each family, so the tea plantations in Fujian are getting bigger and bigger, especially in Wuyi Mountain at the junction of Jiangxi and Fujian, where the tea produced is in short supply.

The two brothers, Xu Huizu and Xu Zengshou, as well as Yuan Rong and others, looked ahead with different expressions.

Distance.

More than a dozen teenagers are riding horses.

One of them is Zhu Zhanji, the eldest son of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

The name of the eldest son of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was taken by Emperor Taizu, and he left a set of rules for naming, which are basically fixed names.

If there is no accident, the twelve-year-old boy who is full of spirit on the horse will be the future helmsman of the Ming Dynasty, and he is also the eldest son of the lords of various families, including the Xu family.

Since the queen left, the Xu family has become more and more quiet.

In the queen's last words, she asked the emperor to treat the Xu family harshly, not to breed the atmosphere of the Xu family, and to prevent the two brothers of the Xu family from acting mischiefly by relying on the authority of their uncle.

The family style of the Xu family, compared to other Xunchen families, is actually really good.

Especially Xu Huizu.

Zhu Gaochi glanced at Xu Huizu, the eldest uncle.

Xu Huizu was not wrong in history.

Whether it is the righteousness of the country or his own selfishness, what is wrong is that Zhu Di is too capable of fighting, then Xu Huizu is wrong, standing on the wrong team, which has become his biggest mistake.

But that didn't happen.

Moreover, Zhu Di is the crown prince designated by Zhu Yuanzhang himself, and the rightful successor of the Ming Dynasty.

So the turmoil of the former emperor's grandson, over the years, with the death of Zhu Yunwen, can already turn the page.

Too many people I know are leaving one by one.

There was an urgent report from Guangdong, and the "King of Yue" died of illness.

Really?

Zhu Gaochi is not too sure.

Whether it is his father or himself, he does not have the idea of murdering Zhu Yunwen, because there is no need, and he also has this self-confidence, and he is not afraid that Zhu Yunwen can set off a storm, he was not good before, and now he is even worse.

It's just that the local court must be figured out.

Over the years, the Yue Palace's palace has not been repaired, according to the new information learned, Zhu Yunwen has been living in a private house all these years, and even the vassal king Yulu has been in arrears for many years.

In fact, it's not just Zhu Yunwen, isn't the Liao Palace also unrepaired.

Xu Zengshou gave his eldest brother a look.

The eldest brother is the first person in the Xu family in terms of fame, qualifications and prestige, and people outside are convinced of the eldest brother, Xu Zengshou knows that his ability is far inferior to the eldest brother compared to his talent.

What's more, the eldest brother has been hiding in the house to "avoid suspicion" all these years, and Xu Zengshou is also aggrieved when he sees it.

It's all the old yellow calendar, can their Xu family still have a different heart with the royal family, the eldest brother should have gone out of the mountain to do things a long time ago, and today's summons of the prince's nephew made Xu Zengshou sensitive to the opportunity to find out.

The prince's nephew probably has the intention of letting the eldest brother go out of the mountain.

After all, you can rest assured that you can use it yourself.

But you can't just use your own people, you also need to have talent, so who else is more suitable than the eldest brother.

Xu Huizu saw his younger brother's eyes, but Xu Huizu's face was calm, and he did not take the initiative to speak, but stayed quietly aside, as if he was not moved by the outside world, like a gentleman.

"People always want to have saints, and they always want a higher standard for good things to meet their expectations."

Zhu Gaochi retracted his gaze and said to the people with a smile.

"He Kuan, I still remember him, the hero of Beiping propaganda at the beginning, made a great contribution to the pacification of Monanxing Province, so after the hero, people always have to use a magnifying glass to observe."

The magnifying glass of the Song Dynasty has no difference from the principle of making in later generations, it is very mature, the earliest magnifying glass record in China is unearthed in the tomb of Liu Jing, the king of Guangling in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the golden circle inlaid crystal magnifying glass, which is made of crystal.

However, the magnifying glass of the Song Dynasty was already a folk commodity, so there is a big difference between the two.

Xu Huizu and Xu Zengshou didn't know who He Kuan was.

Yuan Rong explained to the two.

"Actually, this is not good, the son of a hero can also be a person, if it is a person, there will be good and bad, it will fight with people, it will also bully people, and it is possible to be bullied."

"The man who saw the child falling into the water didn't care about the danger and jumped into the water to save people, but he was the local overlord, it is human nature to save people, and it is also human nature to bully others for profit."

"So human nature is complex, we have to praise the good side, but we also have to uphold the perspective of human nature, otherwise we will fall into extremes."

Statements in the newspapers even say that the tiger father is the dog and the son.

Zhu Gaochi was a little dissatisfied.

Just as the Hereafter gave way.

Everything is in moderation, but too much.

It is human nature to give up the seat, and it is also human nature not to give up the seat, the more you explore, the more you can't distinguish, but it is not beautiful, and society is not a machine, where is there a tight fit.

Therefore, Zhu Gaochi does not have high requirements for others.

Be strict with yourself and lenient with others.

It is precisely out of the knowledge of things, with conscience as the criterion, and the personal ideological level of the unity of knowledge and action.

Many people think that they are suffering losses and living in many unprofitable calculations, but they have never thought about the openness of others' lives, they only care about what they care about, and they are not moved by external appearances, and they are not from the perspective of interests.

Morality is never spoken, but the expression of social needs.

For example, in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, there was already a small citizen class in the Jiangnan region, and there was a rare phenomenon of women studying, while some areas were displaced and uninhabited.

Everyone figured out the mind of His Royal Highness the Prince, and Yuan Rong smiled: "It's just nonsense between young men." ”

Zhu Gaochi shook his head.

He didn't justify He Kuan's son breaking his classmate's arm, a mistake is a mistake, and the reason why society reacted so much was because they hoped that the hero's son was also a sage.

Zhu Gaochi doesn't think this is good.

It is right to treat the sick and save talents, as far as the current public opinion in the society is concerned, I am afraid that He Kuan's son committed suicide to thank the world, which is in line with the expectations of most people.

These are all subsections, Zhu Gaochi's eyes looked at Xu Huizu.

The imperial court needs stability.

Military power is the foundation of everything.

Then Xungui is an inseparable product, otherwise the army will become a warlord, and it will not be enough to use civil ministers alone, which will lead to the imbalance of civil and military affairs, forming the pattern of the Song Dynasty.

Xungui was eliminated in the Tang Dynasty, the rise of warlords, the Song Dynasty to prevent the generals from becoming bigger, but I didn't expect Xungui to be revived in the Ming Dynasty, it was because of the failure of the Song Dynasty, to give future generations to make up for the measures, but the change of the civil fort led to the backbone of Xungui to be swept away.

The new noble power has not been restored, the civil officials relied on their own skills, and found that they did not need to be noble to win the war, plus the civilian officials were competitive, and the nobles were hereditary, and various reasons led to the decline of the power of the Ming nobles, that is, the balance was destroyed.

In the end, it led to the resurgence of the eunuch power, and everything has a reason.

But the royal family is inseparable from honors.

The royal family without the support of the nobles will eventually become a fictitious thing.

Even in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, a lot of the military power of the two capitals was still controlled by the nobles, so that there was the stability of the Ming imperial power, but most of the local military power fell into the hands of the civilian class.

After thinking about it, Zhu Gaochi decided to use Xu Huizu.

Yuan Rong's prestige and qualifications are not enough.

Although Xu Zengshou is loyal to his father, he has great shortcomings compared to Xu Huizu, and after other ministers, although some of them have been reused, after all, the relationship is not as good as the Xu family.

After the beginning of the year, Fang Kuan died of illness, and after discussing with his father, it was decided to let Xu Huizu temporarily take the post of governor of the Chinese army.

Zhu Gaochi needed to touch Xu Huizu's attitude.

"What His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said is quite similar to everything in the past, and thinking about it, it contains the avenue, which can be described as an unchanging criterion." Xu Zengshou smiled happily, and he couldn't see the suave appearance of his youth.

People can change, and Xu Zengshou has also changed.

Zhu Gaochi did not react much.

In a high position, there are fewer and fewer people around him who tell the truth, and everyone has to think about what they say, and then think about it, and simply only say good things and say irrelevant things, and those officials who can do practical things have too high a quality.

An official who can do practical things, his heart must be strong, and he needs to match the core of thought in his mind to make him behave in a way that does not conform to the norm.

Zhu Gaochi skipped Xu Zengshou and his eyes fell on Xu Huizu.

Everyone was quiet, and they all felt that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had something to say, and the object was Xu Huizu, Xu Zengshou on the side, subconsciously held his breath, looking at his eldest brother expectantly.

Even Xu Huizu, who was unmoved by the outside world, felt a sense of heaviness and couldn't help but cheer up.

"At that time, the status of military households was low, even if the court paid attention to it, but it did not prevent this phenomenon, and even the people were unwilling to marry their daughters to military households, for fear that they would be implicated, in case the court needed it one day, and their families were divided into military households."

"This is because of interests, after all, military households have to work, but also to bear the war, the preferential treatment given at the beginning of the founding of the country, has not been able to keep up with the development of the economy, lagging behind the society, so starting from Beiping, I have vigorously promoted the status of military households."

"Now that the status of military households has risen, the management of military households has also become one of the most important state affairs in the country, so the Governor's Office of the Five Armies is very important, and it is related to the foundation of the society."

Everyone's eyes then looked at Xu Huizu.

The Xu family really has a deep heritage.

Although the queen is no longer there, the Xu family still cannot be underestimated.

Not a day.

Xu Huizu led the Chinese military governor and the left governor.

When the families in the capital sent people to congratulate the head of the Xu family, the newspapers in Beiping also reduced the reports of the seventh sister, and the lives of their mother and son returned to peace.

The students of Beiping Workers' and Peasants' Middle School, under the organization of the school, came to the cemetery of the ancestors to pay tribute to the martyrs.

There is a Taoist temple next to the cemetery.

Fifteen-year-old He Hu has long lost his past naughtiness, and after returning to school, after experiencing a painful blow, He Hu has become quiet, and his previous unruly appearance is like two people.

When they came to He Kuan's tomb, the classmates couldn't help but look at He Hu.

Many classmates showed contempt in their eyes.

If it weren't for his father, He Hu would have been expelled from school a long time ago, where is there anything about him returning to school, plus the public opinion of the newspaper some time ago, those friends who had been good with He Hu in the past have also alienated He Hu.

The corners of He Hu's mouth moved, he didn't know what to say, he just lowered his head.

The Taoist Temple of Yanxin Palace is responsible for the maintenance of the cemetery, and there are also people who come on weekdays, and the cemetery only provides sacrificed soldiers, as well as famous scholars, etc., but there are also many people buried in the ancestral graves of their hometowns.

This was not possible before.

Even the West of the future of history has not yet flourished.

The elevation of the status of scholars and scientists in later generations was not in the period of the First Industrial Revolution and the Second Industrial Revolution, when it was still politicians who dominated the country and society.

However, what is particularly different is that with the progress of social transportation, the development of the overall social generating force, and the improvement of the efficiency of communication, scholars have their own circle.

Circles have disadvantages, but they also have special advantages.

The prosperity of the academic circle has provided the soil for the great development of academics.

These academic circles, which do not dominate power, have contributed to the great progress of the Western knowledge system.

Zhu Gaochi promoted the status of scholars and inventors from top to bottom, and the leading social treatment, which can be said to be the first in the world.

A huge stone monument was erected in the cemetery.

The monument divides the cemetery into two, with stone tiles on the ground for people to walk on, open spaces on both sides, and some flowers and plants, in a garden-like ingenuity that blends in with nature.

Half an hour of free time.

No one was willing to take care of He Hu, so He Hu walked alone in the Taoist temple, and he didn't know where he went, and when he passed around the corner, he saw an old Taoist priest meditating under the tree.

The inexplicable miracle on the other party made He Hu stop, and the old Taoist priest who woke up was alarmed, looked at He Hu with a smile, and asked if he was a student, He Hu felt the peace on the other party, and took the initiative to introduce himself.

In the end, He Hu sat on the ground on the side, staring at the old Taoist priest, with envy in his eyes.

"I also want to be a Taoist priest."

The old Taoist priest didn't pay attention to the young man's nonsense.

"Do you accept people here?"

He Hu plucked up his courage and asked.

The old Taoist priest shook his head.

"I don't like to read, it's not interesting to read, and I don't want to go home, there is only my grandmother at home, and my grandmother is not good at all, she often scolds my mother, and my mother is always not at home."

When she was young, Seventh Sister's parents treated Seventh Sister badly.

Later, my brother's family was not having a good time, so I left the township and went to the city to find a new livelihood, and my mother was harshly scolded by her daughter-in-law all day long, and the soft-hearted seventh sister brought her mother to the house again, and she could also help take care of He Hu when she was a child.

Grandmother didn't like it either.

He Hu had heard how his grandmother had blocked his father and mother, and his mother had suffered a lot of trouble in her early years.

But people are so contradictory.

He Hu sometimes misses his grandmother, who has taken care of him since he was a child and has passed away.

Anyway, He Hu didn't like the atmosphere at home, so after school, He Hu often stayed outside, and his grandmother scolded him for it, but his grandmother couldn't control He Hu, so He Hu was even more presumptuous, except for when the seventh sister came home, He Hu was more restrained.

"I like to make waterwheels and water clocks, you know, I used to catch a mouse and use it to drive the waterwheel, and it was fun, but my grandmother killed my mouse and threw my waterwheel."

"Yes."

The old Taoist priest replied casually.

Seeing this, He Hu became more and more enthusiastic and talked about the things he liked when he was a child.

Until the bamboo whistle sounds.

He Hu reluctantly said goodbye to the Taoist priest.

He Hu didn't want to go to work in the factory, he didn't want to go to the Grand Theater, the atmosphere there, He Hu didn't like it, and the army didn't want to go, he was fed up with being asked for this and that, since he was a child, people asked him.

But what can I do?

He Hu felt confused, and he was about to finish his course in half a year. (End of chapter)
