"I'll go! You guys, please be careful. Don't accidentally burn down my house. It's just a trivial matter. Don't let you guys get into trouble if it burns down."
As soon as he entered the door, Chu Ze looked at everyone who was in a hurry because the hot air balloon suddenly caught fire.
He silently moved two steps to the side, and then shouted angrily.
However, under his gaze, a hot-air balloon that had been repaired many times and had signs of being baked in many places was eventually burnt to ashes.
"Okay. It's over now. I've been busy for a day and there's nothing left."
"Hey, why does this always catch on fire!"
"We are using fabric, it would be weird if it didn't catch fire."
Brothers Zhu Xi and Zhu Di looked at the servants cleaning up the debris, and then looked at the charred ashes on the ground that were left after they had been busy all day.
A few people who were still in high spirits suddenly became a little decadent.
Chu Ze looked at the disgraced brothers and sat aside and said with a smile.
"You guys are just too old-fashioned in your thinking, you know? The fabric of the hot air balloon needs to be light, strong, and at the same time as fireproof as possible. These are the requirements, right?"
"Now that we have a requirement, you can follow this requirement and ask someone to start developing it. The test site is in the palace, and it is now officially on track."
"Next, when you need it, you can go directly to the people at the test site, put forward your requirements, and then let them develop it. Just try and develop it according to your requirements."
"Of course, if there are no talents in this field in the testing ground, then you can introduce them and discover them independently."
"As the saying goes, if you have three hundred and sixty skills, you will be the best. You can't always wait for what you want to be delivered to your door. You have to learn to find it or cultivate it independently."
“This is my original intention in creating the proving ground.”
"Prince Qin, it is very likely that you will take over the testing ground in the future. You must learn to master these things in the future."
"One thing in particular is that as long as the talents in the testing ground do not make a principled mistake, they should not be killed or punished as much as possible."
"Give them room to fail, and also give them a certain amount of tolerance. Every success in a scientific experiment often requires thousands of failures as a basis."
"When you raise a problem and you can't solve it yourself, then you try to give the problem to someone else."
After Chu Ze finished speaking, Zhu Di and others were stunned.
Then he seemed to realize something from Chu Ze's words, and each one seemed to have opened the door to a new world.
And Chu Ze looked at the people with their eyes rolling, and didn't care what they were thinking.
Anyway, he just mentioned it casually.
Science, doesn’t it, gradually grow up under some seemingly strange requirements?
"You guys, you just have nothing to do now, come and help me take a look at this! It's my turn to ask you something this time."
"What does the imperial edict say about the job of the imperial minister of the Ministry of Rites? What is his main job?"
"Ministry of Rites? Imperial Minister?"
After Zhu Di and others heard Chu Ze's question, their thoughts were temporarily interrupted by him.
After asking with some frowns, several people came to Chu Ze's side one after another. Looking at the edict in his hand, Zhu Di and others chuckled.
"So it's you who got promoted! Hahaha.. How about the imperial minister!"
Zhu Di looked at the edict in Chu Ze's hand. He stretched out his hand and put it on Chu Ze's shoulder with a bit of a smile.
Looking at him with a smile on his face, Zhu Rui also came over at this time.
"Sir, as the imperial minister of the Ministry of Etiquette, his duties are relatively leisurely. He is basically responsible for recording and reviewing court etiquette and the arrangement of supplies."
"It's quite leisurely on weekdays, but if there are any big gifts, such as the father's birthday, the prince's wedding, palace banquets, etc., as well as some celebration banquets, annual meetings, imperial examination celebrations, etc., you may be busier. .”
"Be responsible for the overall layout, personnel scheduling and item scheduling."
"Of course, the Minister of Rites is responsible for the arrangements, and you are mainly responsible for the execution. Moreover, you are not the only minister of the Ministry of Rites, and there are others who will help with it."
"Afterwards, you have to report and record how many drinks were consumed, how much money was spent, the details of the money disbursement, the number of people present, the specific people who were invited but did not show up, and the organizer to clean up traces of the party, etc."
Zhu's explanation can be said to be very detailed and clear.
However, the more clearly he explained, the more Chu Ze felt his scalp become numb.
Are you kidding me?
So many things.
This is not nonsense!
"Hahaha, if you had taken this position earlier, you might have had to help arrange the marriage between Miaoyun and I!"
"But your current position is not bad! You can help organize the weddings of the fifth and sixth children."
"Well, this is a good position, isn't it?"
Zhu Di seemed not to notice the increasingly ugly expression on Chu Ze's face.
He sat next to Chu Ze and bumped him lightly with his shoulder.
There are also some surprises mixed with a bit of ridicule.
Zhu Zhu and Zhu Zhen on the side couldn't help but snickered after hearing his fourth brother's words.
They have spent a long time with Chu Ze, and naturally they have a certain understanding of some of Chu Ze's behavioral habits and character.
For example, if the sun doesn't rise, Chu Ze will basically not get up.
For another example, he doesn't like to bow to others.
For another example, Chu Ze hates being controlled by others and hates extremely complicated things.
And this position as the imperial minister of the Ministry of Rites basically satisfied all the things Chu Ze hated.
"How about you hold on for a few more years and I try to help you host a funeral?"
"When the time comes, I will try to help all six of you carry the coffin so that you can celebrate when you die."
"I will personally help you write a BGM, so that your name will remain in history and be passed down through the ages!"
Regarding Zhu Di's teasing, Chu Ze responded to him very rudely.
But after replying, Chu Ze's entire face still fell.
He originally thought that Zhu Yuanzhang had arranged a leisure job for him, but who knew that this useless position would have so many things!
"Speaking of which, as the imperial minister, do you need to go to court?"
"You're not talking nonsense! You already said that if you call the imperial minister, you will naturally go to court. And not only that, you also have to arrange matters for guests from other countries. You have to interface with Honglu Temple. Many times, you have to make arrangements directly. You go."
"."
Still have to go to court
Chu Ze looked at the edict in his hand. He felt that his heart hurt so much!
"Yongle! I haven't asked you for anything. I'm asking you to do me a favor today. Please write a note for me. Just say that I am old, my eyesight is dim, my mind is not working well, and I am physically weak. I am always My waist is sore and weak.”
"At my old age, I'm afraid this embarrassment will go a long way. Help me tell your father that I plan to resign and return to my hometown to recuperate."
"Just write it roughly like this! See if your father will agree or something."
Seeing the expression on Chu Ze's face that was full of life and death, the Zhu Di brothers almost stopped laughing.
Of course, they couldn't take what Chu Ze said just now seriously.
If he talks nonsense in front of his father with his eyes open, he doesn't even need to go through the process, he just gets beaten.
How could Zhu Di write such a memorial?
Moreover, even if Zhu Di dared to write it, Chu Ze did not dare to let him send it.
If such a memorial was really submitted, it would not change any problem at all except dragging Zhu Di along to get a beating.
"Forget it, let's not think about this for now. It's still early before I take office anyway. I'll go to the school and have a look. You guys can have fun by yourselves."
After Chu Ze finished speaking, he called Egret and asked her to take the edict of his appointment and put it away, and then went out on his own.
He didn't come back until evening.
After returning home, he fell asleep directly.
After Chu Ze's inspiration, the Zhu Di brothers met directly to go out early the next morning.
They took the tokens and arrived at the testing ground that Chu Ze was responsible for. After stating their requirements, the craftsmen in the testing ground began to get busy.
This kind of goal-oriented and purposeful thing is what they like to study and ponder the most.
It doesn't matter if you fail, but once you succeed, your reputation is still light.
The bonus you get after completing an experiment is even more than the money some old craftsmen earn after working hard for the first half of their lives.
Naturally, they were happy to take over this kind of job where they could have enough food and clothing as long as they succeeded once in their life.
And when everyone took a stroll and returned to Chu Ze's home, they were ready to wait for news.
But he was surprised to find that Chu Ze, who was supposed to take up his post today, had just woken up in a daze and was sitting in the front hall eating breakfast.
"Isn't it time for you to take up a post?"
When Zhu Di saw Chu Ze, others were dumbfounded.
He originally thought that Chu Ze had gone out early, so after getting up, Zhu Di never thought of calling Chu Ze.
As a result, this guy looked like this, he had obviously just gotten up!
"Serving? What is the position for?"
Chu Ze, who had just woken up, became a little confused after hearing Zhu Di's words.
After replying subconsciously, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind.
"I'm sorry! Forgot about this."
After exclaiming in surprise, Chu Ze finally remembered that he should go to the Ministry of Etiquette today.
Almost subconsciously, he stood up and wanted to run out.
However, the next second, he sat back on the dining table with a calm face and began to eat breakfast unhurriedly.
"Uh, half-immortal, why are you back again?"
Zhu Zhen on the side watched Chu Ze sit back down again, and the other party's sudden rush and then slow down action made him confused.
Zhu Di looked at Chu Ze who sat back down and then began to eat breakfast unhurriedly.
He just smiled and sat next to Chu Ze and started eating together.
"You don't understand, Sixth! Chu Ze, who should have taken up his post a long time ago, is late if he hasn't gone yet. And he is late anyway. There is not much difference between being one hour late and two hours late. ”
"We're already late anyway, why are we in such a hurry? I happen to be hungry too! Eat something, eat something."
"There is still such a saying."
Looking at his brothers sitting down to have breakfast one by one, Zhu Zhen felt that he seemed to have learned something new in his mind.
After accompanying Chu Ze to finish breakfast in a leisurely manner, Zhu Ru was the first to stand up before Chu Ze went to take office.
"Sir, I feel almost better today. Although there are still some acne marks on my body, the chickenpox has begun to dissipate. I have to hurry up and return to Hengyang City. There are still many things over there. I won't worry if you don't keep an eye on me."
After discussing a lot of things about the development of Hengyang City with Chu Ze during this period, Zhu Rui became more and more concerned about Hengyang City.
Once a sense of responsibility is cultivated, it is not easy to throw it away.
"Go ahead, but remember not to act too hastily. The people must be allowed to adapt."
"Also, we need to pay more attention to the feedback from the people. Every decision may be wrong after it is made. You cannot just go your own way. Pay more attention to feedback and you can better control the direction of development of things."
Chu Ze looked at Zhu Rui who stood up and was about to leave, but he didn't try to persuade him to stay.
after all
This guy stayed at Yingtian Mansion and stayed at his house every day.
Leave early and leave early.
"Thank you sir for reminding me. Then sir, I will take my leave now."
"I won't send it to you."
After Zhu Zhu greeted Chu Ze, he left directly with his entourage.
Zhu Di looked at Lao Wu who was leaving. After he and Zhu Zhen looked at each other, he also turned to look at Chu Ze.
"We...we probably have to leave in a while."
Chu Ze, who was about to get up and take up a post in the Ministry of Rites, was stunned for a moment after hearing Zhu Di's words, and then smiled at the two Zhu Di brothers.
"What? Are you going to fight this time?"
Chu Ze naturally knew where Zhu Di and Zhu Zhen were going.
Zhu Di has already made it clear that he will be awarded the title of Waifeng, and the second person to be granted the title is naturally Zhu Zhen.
And this time, the war with Japan was about to begin. With such a good opportunity for actual combat, the two princes who were about to go outside the territory had no reason not to participate.
This is a good opportunity to exercise. How can you miss it?
"This is what we want, and it is also what the father means. Since we want to seal the world, actual combat is inevitable. Especially Lao Liu, he is positioned to fight most at sea. Although I will mainly fight on land in the future, , but it is inevitable to experience war at sea."
"This time is a good opportunity to learn."
Although the war was imminent, neither Zhu Di nor Zhu Zhen had too much worry on their faces.
After Chu Ze saw this, he pondered for a moment, then looked at the two brothers with a somewhat solemn expression.
"I'll just say it bluntly. I basically started this war. Originally, this war shouldn't exist, but now it has happened."
"So the result is not what I expected. After you participate, the future may also change completely."
"So. Remember, pay attention to safety!"
