"Here, call Ning Yi."
As soon as he returned to Prince Yan's Mansion, Zhu Zhanji's expression became heavy.
After a while, Ning Yi crossed the threshold and trotted all the way to Zhu Zhanji.
He held his hand and said, "Your Highness."
Zhu Zhanji raised his eyes and looked at Ning Yi. After thinking for a moment, he said, "I have something to do for you."
Ning Yi was Zhu Di's confidant who stayed in the Ming Dynasty, and it was just a casual move. Now it happened that Zhu Zhanji returned to the Ming Dynasty. He had a dark eye on the Ming Dynasty, so he happened to take Ning Yi with him.
"Your Highness, please give me your instructions." Ning Yi didn't ask the reason, just clasped his fists and bowed.
Zhu Zhanji organized his speech and said, "I want you to find out what the academy's rewards are as soon as possible, preferably in every detail."
"Yes, my subordinate will go right away."
Of course NingYi had of course heard about the academy setting up awards, but since he was not an academy student after all, he naturally didn’t pay too much attention to it. Now that His Highness wants detailed information, he needs to go out and inquire carefully.
"Go ahead and see the better."
In the evening, Ning Yi returned to Prince Yan's Mansion to report to Zhu Zhanji.
"Your Highness, my subordinates have inquired clearly."
When Zhu Zhanji heard Ning Yi's request to see him, he felt happy and hoped to bring him good news.
Now after hearing Ning Yi's words, he couldn't wait to reach out and signal: "Speak quickly."
"Yes." Ning Yi bowed and straightened up slightly, "Your Highness, this is what the academy rewards are like. I heard that in order to encourage the academy students to invent and create, Ning Yi specially set up 100,000 guan in each of the three colleges of mathematics, physics and chemistry. Awards are used to reward the most outstanding students."
"Huh?" Zhu Zhanji was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile: "Three hundred thousand yuan is really a generous sum."
He was talking about being generous, but it could be seen from Zhu Zhanji's faint smile that he didn't care at all about the three hundred thousand dollars.
It's possible that the generous statement was a joke on his part.
Ning Yi didn't care about this. He nodded in response and continued: "When the news spread, the entire academy students were excited. Even the common people discussed it for a long time after hearing about it. Just when His Highness returned On the eve of the Ming Dynasty, it gradually calmed down."
"Boiling?" Zhu Zhanji's eyes lit up and he asked loudly, "Are you sure?"
"Sure.
"Ning Yi nodded quickly.
Thinking that Zhu Zhanji didn't believe it, he quickly explained: "I found out that when the academy announced the news, all the laboratories in the academy were crowded with students, and everyone was eager to produce results so that they could win the championship in one fell swoop. I also heard that in the academy’s laboratory, there are still people doing various experiments late at night.”
"Okay, very good!" Zhu Zhanji clapped his hands and laughed inexplicably.
Ning Yi was stunned, he didn't understand what was so good about this.
But what Zhu Zhanji had in mind was that since one hundred thousand dollars was so attractive to academy students, it meant that they were in great need of money.
It's okay if he needs them. It's easy for him to get hold of these academy students if he needs them.
Zhu Zhanji had no intention of explaining to Ning Yi and continued to ask: "There are only three rewards in total, one hundred thousand yuan each?"
"Yes." Ning Yi was a little confused. According to His Highness, he didn't take the academy rewards seriously.
You must know that when this news was announced, everyone was shocked and dumbfounded.
Think about it, if a person obtains 100,000 yuan, it is simply a matter of one step. If Ning Yi could have so much money, his whole family would not have to worry about it for three lifetimes.
Zhu Zhanji shook his head and smiled disdainfully: "Three hundred thousand coins may seem like a lot, but in the end only three people can get it. It doesn't matter if the ancestral tomb is smoking, it must be on fire to get it."
"The hope is very slim!"
Ning Yi didn't think so. He asked doubtfully: "Aren't there still three people who can get it?"
Zhu Zhanji stood up leisurely, put his hands behind his back, walked to the window and took a few glances in the direction of the academy.
He turned his head and said to Ning Yi: "It looks like there are three people, but in fact there is only one person. There are specializations in the arts, and the three subjects of mathematics, physics and chemistry are unpredictable. It is rare for ordinary people to be able to specialize in one of them. How can there be three? Are you proficient in everything?"
"And how many people are there in the academy? This is simply one in a million!"
"Ah!" Ning Yi finally understood.
In the past, he was envious that the academy students could get such rewards, and he also imagined that if he were an academy student, wouldn't these rewards be in his pocket?
Now he was reminded by His Highness that even if he was an academy student, his hope of receiving a reward of one hundred thousand guan was very slim, let alone 300,000 guan.
"Then the academy established this award just to tease the students, right?"
Zhu Zhanji turned around, shook his head and said with a smile, "Of course not. Although I don't know why Lord Zhen Guo did this, he must have a deep meaning."
"That's right. Duke Zhenguo is extremely intelligent and it is impossible for him to act like a fool." Ning Yi nodded.
A person's name, the shadow of a tree.
People like Ning Yi who hang out in the market know very well how high the reputation of Zhen Guogong is in the capital. After all, wine shops and teahouses have always been a place for people to brag, chat, and gossip.
The Duke of Zhen was often laughed at by others for his actions, but in the end everything turned into a crazy slap in the face to those people.
[In view of the general environment,
Zhu Zhanji's eyes moved, and the smile on his face became stronger and stronger, "However, Duke Zhen Guo's move has done me a big favor!"
"Huh?" Ning was puzzled.
Only then did Zhu Zhanji come to his senses and Ning Yi was still here.
Facing Ning Yi's curious eyes, Zhu Zhanji had no desire to explain to him, and waved his hand and said: "From now on, I don't care how much manpower and material resources you use. I have only one request, and that is to find out the rewards of the academy from me at any time. The progress."
"Yes." Ning Yi was overjoyed and quickly agreed.
Zhu Zhanji did not let him go easily, and continued to warn: "Don't be careless. You must not only find out which three people are most likely to win the reward. You must also find out about the other participants."
"Ah?" Ning Yi was stunned. No wonder His Highness just said that money and people were at his disposal. It turned out that they were waiting for him here.
As far as he knew, there were more than a thousand people participating in the academy award selection this time. If so many people wanted to find out, how much energy would it take?
"Your Highness, the hope of these other people getting rewards is very small, right? Do you want to find out more about it?"
"Yes." Zhu Zhanji nodded firmly.
Ning Yi felt embarrassed, but Nuonuo didn't speak.
Zhu Zhanji saw it and asked, "What? Can't it be done?"
"Your Highness, please forgive me..." Ning Yi explained the difficulty to Zhu Zhanji.
Zhu Zhanji was shocked after hearing this and asked in disbelief: "What did you say? Thousands of people participated?"
"I'm afraid there's more." Ning Yi nodded solemnly, "After all, the temptation of a hundred thousand dollars, as long as there is no hope at all, I'm afraid everyone will give it a try, right?"
