Chongzhen Undergraduates

Princess Changping learns basic mathematics from a group of teenagers every day. So far, Zhu Youjian has no time or effort to train it.Because Daming's mathematical achievements are enough for these people to study for a while.

The social ethos of people in the Central Plains who value literature over science has led to the fact that the subject of mathematics is only in the hands of a few people.However, this does not mean that there is no such thing, but that it is not taken seriously.Apart from enlightenment, Zhu Cijiong also hangs out with his sister every day, taking a solid and steady learning route.

Zhu Youjian went to Nanjing this time quietly.Except for a few necessary people, no one else knows.There are only more than 20 entourages, and even the carriages on the road are replaced by old-fashioned two-wheeled carriages.

From Tai'an to Dongchang Mansion, and then directly to the south, Zhu Youjian arrived in Pukou in just five days.In a very inconspicuous small inn in Pukou, Zhu Youjian met Zhang Han who came to pick him up.

"Why didn't that old guy come?" Zhu Youjian took off his bamboo hat, and washed the sweat off his face. He was really sweating from the continuous journey in this hot day.

"Wang Gonggong guards those treasures all day long, and never leaves them."

"Well, what baby?"

"It's the three hundred craftsmen."

"Pfft!" Zhu Youjian held back his full laugh, thinking: This little old man is so much fun.Although these people are important, there is no need to guard them every day.

Zhu Youjian entered Nanjing City after dark at night. The entire team had only three carriages and a group of guards.Wang Chengen and the prince were waiting in front of the palace, even the eunuchs and maids in the palace didn't know about it.

"Long Live Lord, you have finally arrived in Nanjing." Wang Chengen was a little moved. Ever since he left the imperial palace in the capital, didn't he just look forward to arriving at the Nanjing imperial palace safely and smoothly.How many difficulties and twists and turns there are in the middle.The emperor has finally entered the gate of Nanjing Palace!

"It's so ugly to cry at such a young age!" Zhu Youjian hugged Wang Chengen, and said to Wang Chengen, whose face was full of tears and snot.

The prince also came over, holding Zhu Youjian and crying loudly, "Father!"

This prince does not have the ability to be in charge at the age of 16 like Kangxi, that is, an ordinary child of middle-class capital.However, the perseverance and brave character can still be seen.

"Go! Let's go home." Zhu Youjian took the prince's hand and strode forward.Wang Chengen hurried to the back and helped the princess and the third prince down.

"Father, there are still us." Jiu'er called out from a distance.

Zhu Youjian stopped teaching, turned his head back and smiled: "Why did I forget. This time, our family is reunited in Nanjing."

The atmosphere of the royal reunion is naturally happy, so I won't say too much.On the second day, Zhu Youjian came to the residence of three hundred craftsmen.If I had to describe this place in one word, it would be: Chaos!

In several large courtyards, hundreds of houses are full of people walking around, and almost every room is covered with papyrus.Those who were biting their pens, those who were writing vigorously, those who were arguing with each other, and those who were searching for information, none of them noticed the arrival of Zhu Youjian in casual clothes.

"How do these people arrange their daily life?" Zhu Youjian turned around and asked Wang Chengen behind him.

"The old slave didn't care about them at all. Apart from finding [-] scholars who set up stalls in Nanjing to write letters to teach them literacy lessons according to the instructions of the Long Live Lord, the old slave never asked about their work and rest time. They They always wake up at Chenshi and don’t fall asleep until midnight. In the past two months, thousands of taels of silver candle money in the palace was wasted.”

It's not that Wang Chengen really cares about the lamp oil money, but that he doesn't understand what these people are doing all day long from morning to night.Judging by their appearance, they are even more diligent than the number one scholar in the exam.

Zhu Youjian smiled, patted Wang Chengen's shoulder and said, "In the future, we will double the lamp oil money and double the candlesticks. Are the thirty letter writers you found reliable?"

"The old slave didn't dare to look for them all in Nanjing, so he sent people to look for them in various cities in Jiangbei. The accent of the southerners is different from that of the northerners. Only Jiangbei has a large number of refugees. These people are almost out of food. I heard that some Stable jobs are also rushing to come.”

"Bring one over and let me see."

The person brought here was Ding Jixing, a native of Hebei, Juren in the second year of Tianqi. After the Beijing Dynasty was besieged, he could not escape and could not survive in Chuzhou City. Stall, barely get by.

That is, one day two months ago, an old man in his fifties came to Ding Jixing's desk, looked at Ding Jixing and asked:

"Scholarly?"

Ding Jixing didn't know until he entered the palace that the person who went to his stall that day was the famous prince--Wang Chengen.

"You're a scholar." Ding Jixing rolled his eyes at Wang Chengen. He was naturally a hundred unhappy when he was called a scholar by himself.

"Looking at your age, you're still a child, aren't you?" Wang Chengen laughed, knocking melon seeds to stimulate Ding Jixing.

"My lord, if you're okay, just stay where you're cool, and don't delay my business." Ding Jixing said as he was about to kick him out.

"Listen to the accent, from Hebei, right? Dele, come with me." Wang Chengen stood up, and he had already heard that this was a person near the capital, and he didn't want to delay.

"Who are you? If you say I'll go with you, I will go with you?" Ding Jixing was suffocated by Wang Chengen's words, and his heart was suffocating.

Wang Chengen turned around and stared into Ding Jixing's eyes, and said, "Two liang of silver a month, is it profitable?"

Ding Jixing's heart skipped a beat. He set up a stall here, and only earned a few dollars a month, and two taels is not a small number.But then I thought about it, what if I came to Jiangnan who was not familiar with the place where I was born, what if I was tricked.

"No, who knows whether you guys are good guys or bad guys." Ding Jixing didn't dare to accept the job, because the price he offered was too high and a bit unreliable.

Wang Chengen was not annoyed either, what he wanted was not a stunned young man, but an experienced social person.This person has experience and can deal with it calmly, which is exactly what I need.

"This is a government document, take a look." Wang Chengen handed Ding Jixing a piece of paper with a big seal on it.There is a big seal of Nanjing Yingtianfu on it, so I feel relieved.

"Do you want people? I have fellow villagers who are also scholars. It's just that the fame is a little lower than that of my subordinates, and I am a scholar." Ding Jixing did not forget the well digger when he drank water, and he did not forget to recommend his fellow villagers to help him when he was done.

"Yes, as many as you want. Call them all over, but they must all be from the capital." Wang Cheng was amused when he heard it, and he was looking for it himself, and his grandson didn't want it.

"Please!" Ding Jixing was so happy, he didn't care about the stall, and turned around to call for someone.In an hour, seven or eight of them were brought in.

"My lord! Everyone has been brought to you, you see." Ding Jixing bent over, eager to kowtow to Wang Chengen.

"Well, it's not bad, they're all neat people. Come on, sign the contract, don't forget to put your fingerprints on it." Wang Chengen looked at these people, was very satisfied, turned and said to his followers: "Wait until they sign the contract first. Say it again."

The group of people were elated, and signed the contract in a hurry without reading the small print on the back of the contract.Everyone saw the big seal of Ying Tianfu on it, and thought that what they encountered this time might be a good job from the government.

"Since the contract is signed, come back to the palace with me!" Wang Chengen waved his hand, and a large group of followers surrounded him.

Ding Jixing quickly grabbed Wang Chengen and asked, "Master, where did you just say you were going?"

"Enter the palace! Didn't you hear what Wang Gonggong said. This is a good thing for you!" A follower said loudly to Ding Jixing.

"What? Let us enter the palace to be eunuchs. Well, you Ding Jixing, you are trying to kill us." When the fellow villagers behind Ding Jixing heard this, they all jumped up and turned around and wanted to run.

"I caught them all, and today's matter is beyond your control."

"You goddamn Ding Jixing, you have made us suffer. What can we do? My family is a single passer for five generations!" One of the younger men lay on the ground and couldn't get up, with snot and tears .

Chapter 59: The Emperor's Closest Person

Ding Jixing was about to pass out, and it wasn't because of the sun.I only heard that the crown prince entered Nanjing City two days ago, so naturally he wanted to recruit many people to be eunuchs, why didn't I think of this today.

"You can't arrest people so casually. We are all people with fame and fame, and we can't enter the palace as eunuchs." In desperation, Ding Jixing hurriedly used his fame as a scholar as his trump card.

"It's not up to you to decide." Wang Chengen said with a smile: "I recruited you into the palace not only to be eunuchs, but also to serve the eunuchs with a urinal."

"Ah! You kill me, my God." Ding Jixing's head was covered, and he passed out on the street on the spot.

Wang Chengen looked at it and smiled, and said in his heart: I can't even take this little joke, after all, I am a scholar!I will suffer at the cost of saving face.

"Come on, take them all to the carriage, on this hot day, make some sour plum soup to relieve the heat, don't burn everyone.

Ding Jixing and his party swayed into the palace in the dark in a carriage. Everyone's faces were covered with frost, and they were waiting for the knife to dawn.During the period, the water and rice hadn't entered, and everyone was scared. Thinking of that knife, his crotch trembled.

Some people really regret that their daughter-in-law was making a fuss last night, and they didn't cooperate well, and even scolded her a few times, now they really regret it.well!How wonderful it would be to meet more sluts and jerks in life!This is a good one, there will be no more chances in the future, so hurry up and try to recall memories before you are hit by a knife.
