After Zhu Yuanzhang's celebration banquet.

Zhu Biao's wedding was finally put on the agenda, and the entire Jinling City was lit up, and those who didn't know thought it was the New Year again.

Ministers from all sides were also invited to Zhu Biao's wedding.

British Mansion.

"This is the result of the Market Transaction Management Division's investigation?"

Xiao Han asked Jiang You, who came over with the information provided by the Market Transaction Management Division.

"Yes, Your Highness."

Jiang right responded.

"Hmm... As I expected, their costs were so high that the cost of transportation and craftsmen was so high that the price of our Daming paper remained high. ”

"It's so decided, the ex-factory price of our Daming paper mill is three percent higher than their cost."

"Those merchants, whether they can survive or not depends on whether they are clever enough."

Xiao Han said, picked up a piece of paper, and wrote down an order with two clicks.

These big businessmen who participated in the Daming paper industry have different preferences, some of the craftsmen under their hands are more reliable, and some of the raw materials and finished products have a stronger transfer capacity.

Xiao Han is not sure what will happen to the tiger of Daming Paper Mill when it suddenly pounces into the paper industry.

However, he didn't care, Xiao Han believed that with the living space he left for these businessmen, even in the face of the dimensionality reduction blow of the entire industrial chain production line of Daming Paper Mill, there must be someone who could break it and stand up.

As for who survived and who went bankrupt and fell to the ground, Xiao Han didn't care, as long as it didn't collapse all at once, then a group of people fell, as long as Xiao Han didn't let the Daming Paper Mill directly saturate the industry, there would definitely be another group of businessmen standing up.

It's not that these businessmen are really born with a dog's nose, and it can be seen at a glance which industry still has room for improvement.

Instead, if you don't choose the right one, you end up selling your industry and ending up on the streets.

Those who can persevere, without exception, are not the lucky ones who choose the right one.

This is also why, later generations often say, don't listen to the successful people talk about the method, listen to the losers talk about the lessons.

Because successful people may not be able to say which way to go, but those who fail must be able to say at least one way, which way is not good.

"No!"

Jiang You responded and immediately went down to arrange Xiao Han's order.

After solving the matter of the paper industry chain, Xiao Han finally had leisure and began to work.

Xiao Han has not yet written this textbook of industry and economics, but Zhu Biao has been waiting for it.

Xiao Han naturally couldn't let Zhu Biao wait too long.

Especially "Daming Economics", which must be arranged for the old Zhu family first, after all, the industry can still do it directly, but if the economy keeps watching itself, it will be too tiring.

Whether or not the economy can be strong or not directly determines whether a country's military is strong or not.

You must know that during the Ming Dynasty, it was actually not the era of cold weapons, and when Genghis Khan went on expeditions everywhere, he already used cannons.

By the time Lao Zhu established the Ming Dynasty, artillery and firearms were already quite important for warfare.

If you don't have enough economic strength, at the level of weapons, you can't compare with others.

Firearms, on the other hand, are notoriously expensive.

"Wind and snow!"

Xiao Han had just sorted out a few pages, and Zhu Biao pushed the door in at this time.

"What's wrong?"

"You're not supposed to be very busy right now, are you?"

Xiao Han looked at Zhu Biao and couldn't help asking.

"Ahem!"

"Mother got you a dose of decoction, I'll bring it to you."

Zhu Biao coughed dryly.

"Use me as a shield, huh?"

Xiao Han looked at this good brother and couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth.

"Ahem!"

"How can you talk like that?"

"Aren't my mother and I also worried?"

Zhu Biao coughed lightly twice to hide his embarrassment.

"It's just right to come."

"Our Daming paper industry chain has been put into operation, and when some funds are accumulated, the industrialization of all walks of life in Daming should also be put on the agenda."

"However, I think we can improve our industry in addition to industrialization, and it's time for us to think about setting up an engineering college."

Xiao Han said to Zhu Biao.

"Isn't there a Ministry of Works?"

Zhu Biao was slightly stunned.

"The Ministry of Engineering is the Ministry of Engineering, he can be responsible for construction, can they be responsible for training a large number of craftsmen?"

Xiao Han said to Zhu Biao.

"Yes, I'm fine."

"But what do you think of the candidate for the dean of the College of Engineering?"

Zhu Biao nodded directly.

"Shan Anren is not bad, why don't you let him take on the same time?"

Xiao Han asked at Zhu Biao.

"No, no, no."

"The authority of a Ministry of Industry is not small."

"You said that industry is very important, and if he is allowed to do the same job, then the power is a little too great."

"Even if he is loyal, he can't set this precedent to prevent the latecomers from falling behind."

Zhu Biao shook his head decisively.

"And who do you think is more suitable?"

Xiao Han asked at Zhu Biao.

Zhu Biao didn't speak, his eyes stared at Xiao Han like this, and he remained silent.

"You want me to be?"

Xiao Han's eyelids jumped and asked.

"Any questions?"

"I don't think there's anything more suitable for you than the wind and snow."

"After all, isn't it you who knows the so-called industry best?"

"I know that your kid still has a lot of good things hidden in his head, so it's better to become the dean of the engineering college and take them out."

Zhu Biao said as a matter of course.

"It's... I'm okay with theory, but I can't do it in practice. ”

"You think I don't want to get all those drawings out?"

"I can know the basic theory, the drawings are so complicated, who can memorize them directly?"

"Even if I become the dean of the engineering college, I can't pay for it."

Xiao Han held his forehead with his hand.

"It doesn't matter, you use theory to guide those craftsmen who will be selected through the imperial examination later, and guide them to draw drawings."

"Now that you are all members of our Zhu family's royal family, the British princess, and you become the dean, this backstage is hard enough, and it is more convenient to manage."

"So, is there a more suitable candidate than you Xiao Fengxue?"

When Zhu Biao said something, he was slightly stunned when he said to Xiao Han.

It seems that this is indeed the case, he is no longer the Suning Hou Xiao Fengxue who must always seek self-protection and can't let go of his hands and feet.

Now I am a member of the Zhu family on the family tree, the British Duke Xiao Han.

Even Hu Weiyong, who is now powerful in the court, is not enough to see in front of Xiao Han, as long as Xiao Han is willing, he can pinch him to death at any time.

"Okay, in that case, I will be the dean of this engineering college, but you still have to hang the name of this vice dean, otherwise it would be difficult for me to directly carry out the holy decree operation in your name."

Xiao Han nodded.

"It's as if your decision made by the English public is less effective than the Holy Decree."

"Okay, hang it."

"How are you doing with Daming Industry and Daming Economics?"

Zhu Biao nodded helplessly.

"I'm already getting it, probably, it will take a few days to take it out, after all, this is not the essence of Daming agriculture, Daming law, many things can be ready-made."

"I'm going to have to wrap these two things up from beginning to end."

Xiao Han rubbed his temples slightly.

I have to say that compared with the copyist who directly compiles ready-made texts, it takes a lot of brains to write it yourself.

"Haha! Okay, you can drink the medicine first. ”

Zhu Biao laughed, and then saw that Xiao Han was quietly preparing to hide the medicine, and spoke.

"Yo! Remember. ”

"Ruoyi, help me boil the medicine."

"You said that my mother is true, doesn't my wedding have to come after you? Why are you in such a hurry to give me the tonics? ”

Xiao Han coughed lightly twice, and said without any embarrassment.

"Isn't my mother worried that you're not in good health, and you're afraid that you will suddenly start to make up for it? This must not be adapted from a small amount. ”

Zhu Biao smiled, it was obvious that this guy also contributed to it.

Xiao Han: ...

"I said why it's only half a root, it's like it hasn't grown."

"Turns out, does the tonic still have to be warmed up?"

"Next time, I'll ask the fifth child."

Xiao Han said helplessly.

Under Zhu Biao's personal supervision, Xiao Han had no choice but to drink the big tonic soup, and then His Royal Highness the Crown Prince left satisfied.

"Ruoyi, why are you still here? Is there something going on? ”

At this time, Xiao Han saw that Ruoyi was still in his study and didn't leave, so he couldn't help asking.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness, the Emperor, the Queen Mother asked you to start now... Yes, do you want to familiarize yourself with it first? ”

"Yes, do you want Ruoyi tonight, stay, stay."

"I, I can actually be nameless... As long as I can stay with you..."

Ruoyi blushed and didn't dare to look up at Xiao Han.

Although, when I boiled the tonic soup before, I had encouraged myself countless times, but I was still very nervous and shy when I really spoke.

The sound stumbled and became smaller and smaller, and finally it was completely inaudible.

Xiao Han: ???

"What are you talking about, little girl?"

"Why do you always think about what you have and don't have every day?"

"Don't guess my mother's intentions, go back and have a good rest, I plan to see you marry as my mother's family when the time comes."

The corners of Xiao Han's mouth twitched, and he stretched out his hand and scratched Ruoyi's nose.

Ruoyi's intentions, how could he not understand, but since he was a child, he grew up, just like his own sister, Xiao Han couldn't get over this level in his heart.

"Oh, oh..."

Ruoyi muttered, covered his face and ran out.

I'm ashamed, I really can't say this, so... That's the case.

For a while, even Ruoyi herself couldn't tell whether it was more disappointment or relaxation in addition to being shy.

Perhaps, both.

There was nothing to say all night, and the next day was the day when Zhu Biao, the prince of the Ming Dynasty, married the crown princess Chang Qingyun.

The banquet that has been prepared since yesterday was put all the way out of the palace by Zhu Yuanzhang from the palace.

The Ming Dynasty does not share the world with scholars, but with the people of the world, and the prince gets married, so he should be happy with the people and happy with the people.

Seeing the flowing water mat being carried out of the palace, the people's eyes couldn't help but widen.

"Official, official, these are..."

Finally, some bold people ran to the palace guards and asked.

"Fengtian carrier!"

"The emperor's edict!"

"The prince of the Ming Dynasty married the princess Chang, thinking that the people were hungry and cold, and they didn't dare to taste the wine banquet alone, so they drained the water to feast in Jinling City and have fun with the people!"

Li Heng, the prince's official who helped with the front and back, stood in front of the palace and read out loudly.

"This, this is for us?"

Some people reacted and were shocked.

"Official, official, can we go over and eat?"

A citizen asked the guard.

"One person takes a copy, what to take depends on luck, don't take it away."

The Imperial Commander spoke, then commanded the guards to get out of the way.

Suddenly, the people were in an uproar, and some of them dared to step forward to try to take the dishes during the banquet, and successfully took them, and the atmosphere became hot for a while, and they all wanted to come forward to take them, for fear that the meat and vegetables would be taken away.

"Line up!"

"One by one!"

The imperial guard snorted coldly.

Suddenly, the people were intimidated by the momentum and began to line up on their own.

Outside the palace, the people lined up to eat, ah no, "lead the table".

Inside the Royal Palace.

Zhu Biao's wedding also officially began, and the convoy extended from Chang's house to the palace, bringing Chang Qingyun, who was dressed in a phoenix crown, to the prince's East Palace.

Zhu Yuanzhang is not a person who likes nonsense, so he didn't let the Ministry of Etiquette prepare any speeches at all, and he simply said a few words, so that everyone could eat and drink.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, congratulations!"

Lan Yu stepped forward with a grin.

"Haha!"

"Rejoice, rejoice."

Zhu Biao smiled.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, our blue jade mouth is stupid, don't say more, it's all in the wine, I did it, you feel free."

Lan Yu said, directly raised his head and drank a bowl full of high-grade wine from the British Mansion, and Xiao Han was convulsed when he saw it.

This kind of bad habit of drinking too much and doing things at every turn won't start to spread from this guy, right?

What a damn thing!

You deserve to be skinned and grassed later.

Looking at Lan Yu's arrogant appearance, Zhu Biao's face was also stiff, and he couldn't help but get angry and let people throw Lan Yu out, and finally chose to give Lan Yu a face, and took a small sip.

Drink dry, that's impossible.

Although compared to Xiao Han, Zhu Biao can be said to be as strong as a cow, but there is still a gap compared to a humanoid animal like Lan Yu.

If this big bowl is next, then if it is all according to this standard, Zhu Biao will not need to be in the cave room at night.

This is also the reason why he almost let people drag Lan Yu down.

The leader didn't know how to take it easy for the wedding, and he was stunned.

Lan Yu was stunned, and the others didn't dare to play with Lan Yu like this, they all came to Zhu Biao with a small wine cup, and Zhu Biao also responded happily.

For a while, the atmosphere in the East Palace gradually became warmer.

"Come, Biaozi, let's go one too."

"It's not too early, it's time to leave, don't let your crown princess wait."

Xiao Han raised the wine cup and finally said to Zhu Biao.

"Haha! Good! ”

Zhu Biao smiled heartily and drank the rest of his wine.

Zhu Biao left, and Xiao Han was also ready to leave immediately, otherwise it would be difficult to leave if some people were to target him for a while.

"Hey! Wind and snow, the prince is gone, what are you leaving? You're also a cave house, huh? Come on, let's have a drink. Give the prince a face today, if you don't get drunk, you won't return! ”

As soon as he left, Lan Yu's loud voice sounded on the side.

"I still have something to do, I have to write a book when I go back today, you drink first."

Xiao Han said to Lan Yu.

It's okay to drink, but you definitely can't drink with Lan Yu.

Otherwise, I'll have to carry it back today.

"What are you doing on this big day?"

"Walking so early, isn't it not to give the prince face?"

Lan Yu's face turned red and shouted.

"If you can call him over and take care of me, I'll stay."

Xiao Han glanced at Lan Yu, then turned to leave.

"General Lan is really a good drinker."

"Your Highness has something to do today, why don't we continue to finish drinking what we didn't finish last time?"

But it was Tong Zhangshun who walked in front of Lan Yu.

There is no danger in Jinling City, and now that Xiao Han still has Jiang You by his side, Tong Zhangshun can be relieved.

Therefore, with Lan Yu's arrogance, Tong Zhangshun decided to have a good touch with him today.

"Come on, come on!"

"I've been looking forward to a showdown with Brother Tong for a long time, but no one bothers me today, let's split the winner."

Blue jade is also a pleasure, and those who come do not refuse.

Xiao Han returned home and continued to write Daming economics.

In terms of subdivision, it is actually divided into two parts: economy and finance.

Those who don't understand may think that this is the same thing, but if you really learn it, you will understand that these are actually two doctrines, one for the financial market only, and the other for the entire economic system.

Although finance is completely useless to Daming, after all, Daming has just issued currency now, and there is no finance at all.

But Xiao Han still has to write it, after all, when Daming Treasure Banknotes really gain a foothold in the future, Xiao Han will directly engage in the financial market in Daming, but when he doesn't understand outside, he will have a good opportunity to reap the benefits.

Otherwise, when everyone understands the financial market, and then wants to harvest recklessly, then you will have to throw money into it.

Relying on others to deceive people without understanding the rules, this kind of business without capital, Xiao Han naturally will not be willing to miss it.

Xiao Han plans to start summarizing the financial chapter when the social and economic chapter is finished.

After some hard work, Xiao Han couldn't help but stretch slightly.

"Your Highness, take a rest, don't get tired."

"This is a tonic sent by the queen's mother."

Ruoyi's voice sounded behind him.

"Also today?"

"Shouldn't the prince be made up today?"

Xiao Han said in shock.

"This... It is said that today was originally intended for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and this was specially given to His Royal Highness by His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

Ruoyi said to Xiao Han.

"Good, good!"

"But what a good brother, I knew that I would be a blue jade today."

"Put it here, I'll drink it when it's a little cooler."

Xiao Han gritted his teeth.

Let Ruoyi leave, and then pinch his nose and raise his head to drink.

"Whew!"

With a sigh of relief, Xiao Han slowly walked out of the British Mansion and rode in the direction of the East Palace.

Originally, Xiao Han was not interested in the vice of making a hole in the house, and no one dared to make trouble when the prince was normally married.

But today, between Zhu Biao's behavior, Xiao Han plans to be this wicked person.

When he arrived at the gate of the East Palace, Xiao Han saw that Mu Ying and He Wenhui were holding a person and vomiting on the side of the road.

Obviously, this is because there is a small cabbage that can't hold on.

Wait a minute!

This is...

Sapphire !!?

"Brother Lanyu, are you still here? Do you want to drink it slowly? ”

But at this time, Tong Zhangshun walked out of it and said to Lan Yu.
