Zhu Biao did not wait for the people he brought to eat, so he hurriedly filled up a lot of food, pedaled back, and called the princess to eat at Kunning Palace.
In Kunning Palace, Zhu Yuanzhang was preparing to eat roast duck. When he saw his elder brother bringing food, he directly rewarded the roast duck to the palace maids and eunuchs.
"I didn't want to disturb my parents. Xiaqiu Village just gave the child a question book, but he didn't read it yet!" Zhu Biao took out the question book and handed it over.
Zhu Yuanzhang picked it up, looked through it, and slapped his thigh: "Okay! This is good! We have to let the Yi people know that our medicine in the Ming Dynasty is good. Why is there no black death in the Ming Dynasty? We took the medicine, bamboo fungus and white fungus."
He praised him and showed it to Queen Ma, who read it again and said, "Oh! Xiaqiu Village is trying different ways to make money from the barbarians! They can come up with all kinds of ideas."
The prince and the princess also watched. The princess smiled and ate slowly. She didn't eat much at night, but there was a lot of food in her stomach, and the child could squeeze it in when she slept.
Zhu Biao put down the title book and washed his hands: "Haier sent people to the Shibo Division to try it out. The Yi people believed it and Xiaqiu Village increased the planting area.
The food you eat is better than the food you use. What you use is not easy to break. What you eat is gone when you eat it.
I just wonder if the Yi people can use the money to buy it? Bamboo fungus and white fungus are not cheap at all. "
The Crown Princess ate a hawthorn and felt much better: "Your Highness, they trade with many places outside, and they don't have the money to exchange with us to rob others.
Since the Ming Dynasty has more copper, silver, and gold, we don't have to worry about the lack of currency circulation.
The navy of the Ming Dynasty is the most important. Maybe they will take over the Ming Dynasty at some time.
Like Japanese pirates, they ran away from the sea after robbing. Without strong naval guards, they could only be beaten passively. "
The princess supported the Yi people in robbing other people's things to give to the Ming Dynasty, but was also worried that the Yi people would eventually rob the Ming Dynasty, and pointed out the importance of the navy.
Her father is Chang Yuchun. She belongs to the general family and understands strategy and tactics.
"My daughter-in-law said it well! In the past... alas! It was all about money. Once the affairs of building Zhongdu stopped, and with the money made in the palace, we could afford to support the navy.
What's more, the navy leads the people in coastal areas to fish. Now they can support themselves. In the future, there will be more ships. When they go to trade outside, they can't rely entirely on the barbarians. "
Empress Ma talked about the difficulties that Ming Dynasty had had. There were some problems in decision-making. The key was lack of money.
…
The prince arranged for people to contact the barbarians the next day. Those who could deceive and knew medical skills must sell bamboo fungus and tremella to the barbarians.
After receiving breakfast, he went back, and the mayor took people to the box lunch shop.
When I passed by the library again, there were already many children there. Their hair had obviously been washed, their faces were clean, and their clothes were patched but not dirty.
One after another, people sent their children over, telling them to be obedient and not to damage the books.
In the minds of many people, this library is sacred. Children can come and read books, and the ancestral graves are filled with smoke.
The mayor went in and asked about the number of people. The person in charge of statistics told him that there were 760 people and he could continue to receive them.
Two hundred and sixty students helped, beckoning the children and arranging them to read in various places. They spread out and each of them was responsible for a few.
Rich students also came down one after another. They were worried that someone would secretly observe that if someone did not take care of their children, then the officials would not take care of the people.
Even if you answer the questions well in the imperial examination, if someone impeaches you, it's over.
The children were obedient, and they were all a little flattered. A person they regarded as knowledgeable could be so easy to talk to.
The headmaster came to the store and listened to the number of people coming from the library from time to time. By the third quarter of the morning, there were no more children. It was obvious that the adults could not leave work too late.
In fact, children who come after Chen time are sent by the children's neighbor elderly people. The children's family members left early and did not have time to send the children here.
"Hanhan, one thousand six hundred and thirty-one, it's no problem to add food for two thousand more people." Li Chang entered Hanhan's room.
"The imperial examination has been arranged before. Zeng Lu is in charge of the provincial examination. It will start on the first day of March. Today is February 23rd. There are only twenty-nine days in this month, not counting the seven days left today."
Zhu Wentian ignored the matter of how many children were coming and talked about taking the imperial examination.
"Yes! By then our department store will be launched, but students may not be willing to do so."
The mayor is worried again now. If someone fails to pass the imperial examination, does he have to work in your shop?
"Don't be anxious, Chief. It's easy to handle. We issue an internal newspaper to explain Ming Dynasty's domestic and foreign policies, that is, current affairs.
This is the talent His Majesty wants. By the way, let’s talk about laws and official administration.
Provide students with flintlock training and auxiliary training in horse riding and driving.
We won’t teach anyone who doesn’t come to work. With our skills, Your Majesty will definitely give priority to people from our department store.
At that time, not to mention the poor students, the rich will have to do the work for us even if they pay for it. "
Zhu Wentian had already planned this, so why not come? Do you still want to take the imperial examination in the future?
Do you believe that I asked Zhu Yuanzhang to select talents directly from the store without passing the imperial examination?
Li Chang: "..."
"Hanhan, I was too worried. For a moment, I forgot about your calculations... no, your ability to help people." The chief touched Hanhan's head.
"I'm going to cook. I haven't done it for a long time." Zhu Wentian had nothing to do today and was bored.
As soon as the friends saw Brother Hanhan cooking, they immediately started cooking. Judging from the current time, they probably had to make dishes that would take a long time, such as braised pork.
Sure enough, Zhu Wentian made braised pork first, asking for it to be leaner and less fat, and feed it to the princess. Too fat is bad for the body, and the princess is not short of oil and water.
The children began to boil eggs, make eggs stuffed with meat, make some sauce, make coir raincoat cucumbers, and cut tofu, planning to make a home-made tofu version of Mushu Pork.
After Zhu Wentian was busy preparing the braised pork, he asked people to go to the river to buy fish. When he came back, he processed it. He beat it with a stick until it became a paste. He added some glutinous rice flour and eggs and beat it repeatedly with his hands.
The apprentices were dumbfounded when they saw the operation here. They were all about the same age. How could these people from Xiaqiu Village be so powerful?
"What are you looking at? Cut the meat. The meat should be thin and the shreds should be thin. Marinate it with starch and cooking wine. When it slides open in the pot, it will be thick. If you cut it like this, it will sell for a shitty box lunch? You will have to die!"
The master in the kitchen of Xiaqiu Village reprimanded his apprentice, there is no need to be merciful in this.
"Master, I think they are better than me in everything." The apprentice admitted that he was inferior.
"They used to support this box lunch restaurant alone. How many cuts did they make? If they don't have talent, they just sweat it out." The master looked at the children with a smile on his face.
The apprentices did not dare to delay any longer and worked hard.
…
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, nectar has fallen from Zhongshan Mountain this morning." In the palace, Zhu Yuanzhang was reviewing the title book, and someone from the Qintian Prison happily came to report it.
Zhongshan is very close to here, a few miles away, and the nectar of Zhongshan has always been called Xiaoxiangrui.
When encountering such a situation, the ministers would write poems when the Qin Tian Jian came to report it.
"Okay, the nectar of Zhongshan is good. Come here, tell the officials and compose a poem." Zhu Yuanzhang was happy, seeing that the imperial examination and the provincial examination were about to take place, and there was good luck.
After saying that, he suddenly remembered something and said to the eunuch: "Send the prince here quickly, quickly! Is the two-page letter asking the prince about Wei Su's previous affairs still there?"
Not long after, Zhu Biao arrived with a letter in his hand: "Father."
"The second letter, the second letter, what is it about?" Zhu Yuanzhang sweated.
"There is a reason for the disease, and it can be traced early. When the disease is terminal, there is only heartache. The master of the rural examination is Zhongshan Ganlin. If there is anything wrong with him, I will come in person." The prince replied.
No more today. Thank you brothers and sisters for your subscriptions, rewards, monthly votes, and recommendation votes. The farmer bows down! Thanks! Hey Hey!
