Chongzhen Undergraduates

"No! Both Li Dingguo and his subordinates believe that the military power of the imperial court is the main right, and it is also what the emperor cares about most. The emperor's ambition is not only in education, and the enemies of Ming Dynasty are far more than the natives of Japan. If you want to truly control power, Our eyes should still be on the north." Zhou Peigong spoke and pointed to the north.

"What does this have to do with my plan to build a palace in Nanjing?" Wang Chengen was confused.

"I think that the current Nanjing is not suitable for any princes, and the emperor will not be crowned king. It is better to let the princes be teachers for a few days, and then continue to return to their original positions and rise step by step. General Li also thinks so Yes." Only then did Zhou Peigong say what he meant.

Chapter 695: No one is stupid

Sure enough, Zhu Cihong did not return to Nanjing, but Shi Xiangyun and the emperor's grandsons Zhu Heyou and Zhu Heyi came back; when his co-lord Zhu Aiming, Zhu Cihuan also rushed back to Nanjing from outside the Great Wall.

Since none of them have an independent residence, it is natural to temporarily arrange to live in the palace.Anyway, Zhu Cijiong has always had a permanent palace in the palace. At the same time, the fourth prince Zhu Ciwei and Zhu Ciran, the second prince Zhu Yuke, and the third princess Zhu Yuyun all lived in the harem.

In the current harem, there are no new eunuchs joining. Except for the guards, all the staff are professionally trained.For example, the palace ladies do not use a large number of young women, but mature and stable married women. Of course, each palace also has specially selected life secretaries.

Most of the men in the palace are over 30 years old and undergo strict training, and generally change them every year.Even if he is promoted to foreman, he will only work for two years, unless he is a professional inner court chief.The guards are rotated regularly, and no one knows where their positions will be allocated in a few days.

Under the strict system, there are no scandals at all, and it is more peaceful than before.

But in such an environment, something happened.

That night, before Zhu Youjian could fall asleep, the deputy chief of the inner court who was on duty that night rushed to Zhu Youjian in a hurry.

"Your Majesty, something happened to the Third Prince." The deputy chief was out of breath, and seemed really anxious.

"Tell me slowly." Zhu Youjian thought that Zhu Cihuan was not used to the environment in the palace.

"The third prince wants, wants to favor a court lady."

"What?" Zhu Youjian almost spit out a mouthful of old blood. This kind of thing happened in the palace. Isn't it only him who can do it?Of course, even Zhu Youjian didn't do much, in fact he didn't.

This is not bad!Gotta go see it quickly.

Similarly, Wang Chengen was shocked when he heard the news.For so many years, his attention was all on Zhu Cihong, even Zhu Cijiong didn't take much care of him, let alone Zhu Cihuan.

In Zhu Cihuan's bedroom, the situation had been brought under control at this time, and the guards had already surrounded Zhu Cihuan and did not make things difficult for him.In the flower hall, there were two court ladies in their 30s covering their faces and crying. It seemed that a few buttons had been torn off from their clothes, and they had never succeeded.

"What's going on?" Zhu Youjian glanced at the two maids. They were not bad in appearance. If they were ten years younger, they would be considered beauties, but in the palace, at most, they were at the level of "not ugly." ".

"Father, the maids you gave to my ministers are not good, and my ministers ask for some younger ones to serve." Zhu Cihuan looked indifferent.

After hearing this, Zhu Youjian's face turned green, cooperating with this kid, he thought the harem was the same as before.

"Who told you that they were given to you?" Zhu Youjian asked with his eyeballs waiting.

"The one who waits on me in this bedroom, isn't he sent to me?" Zhu Cihuan still looked aggrieved, as if he was the victim.

Wang Chengen came a step late and just heard the conversation outside the door, but judging from the content of the conversation, the third prince will not suffer.According to the old system, the maid who was sent to the prince was indeed given to the prince.Generally speaking, the prince still looks down on these maids.Wang Chengen's face suddenly looked better. He was thinking in his heart that the Third Prince hadn't experienced so much in the past few years. Today's play might be done on purpose.

"Come on, my father will tell you in detail slowly." Zhu Youjian hugged Zhu Cihuan and began to teach the new rules in the palace.This major matter that originally touched the principle was resolved by the third prince with two simple words, and Zhu Youjian really couldn't punish him.

It seems a small matter, but the people who can be involved understand the fact that Zhu Youjian will not give the three sons the title of king at all.In other words, Zhu Cihuan's little trick is to test Zhu Youjian's bottom line. If Zhu Youjian acquiesces or punishes the third prince, there may be hope for the adult prince to become king, but Zhu Youjian gently This incident has been ignored, which means that the status of the three princes remains the same.

The next day, Wang Chengen sent someone to Zhou Peigong to send a passbook, which contained a moderate amount of money.

......

The promotion of education in Ming Dynasty is progressing very smoothly, especially in the establishment of schools at all levels, and construction climaxes have emerged throughout the country.Every town has at least one primary school based on the proportion of the population; each county has at least two middle schools; each state capital has at least three secondary professional schools; each provincial capital has at least two universities.In addition, in the densely populated Jiangnan, Chengdu, Xi'an, Wuhan and other places, a group of professional science and engineering colleges were established in the cities, and the specific distribution was roughly modeled after the layout of later generations; a group of maritime affairs was established in the coastal areas. of middle and high schools.

Teachers in primary and secondary schools are the best solution, but there is a serious shortage of teachers in middle and higher schools. Fortunately, there is a window of three to four years for full enrollment and salary, so there is no rush to fill them up.

Compared with later generations, the learning tasks in this era are much easier, which is mainly related to the lag in the development of the knowledge system.Especially in terms of the schedule of science subjects, the level of primary school graduation in this time and space is only equivalent to the level of the fourth grade of primary school in later generations; the mathematics course of graduating from middle school is only equivalent to the first year of high school, and the mathematics of the university does not even learn calculus. arrive.This is mainly because calculus has not really developed yet.

Other professional knowledge has also decreased, but colleges and technical secondary schools have also strengthened hands-on courses for students, and one-third of students completed their studies in the process of serving as apprentices.This has also directly led to the fact that the graduates of Ming Dynasty have very strong hands-on ability. As long as they are qualified graduates, they can quickly enter the job.

Regarding the national literacy campaign, Zhu Youjian didn't intend to spend any money, but this simple campaign can promote the smooth development of many things.For example, from the 16 taels system to the [-] taels system of weights and measures, the promotion of new lengths, volumes, and currencies can quickly spread to every corner of every inch of land.

Similarly, through the books printed by literacy classes, basic literacy, calculation, etc. are popularized, and the latest products can also be promoted.Judging from the examples reflected at the grassroots level, the first new commodity that farmers in the Ming Dynasty came into contact with was Fengqi lamps. This is because the literacy classes in rural areas are generally held at night, and the Fengqi lamps for evening classes are uniformly issued by the imperial court, and rural women found that the imperial court’s Xinfeng lamps are brighter than the vegetable oil lamps they order at home, and they all like to take their needlework to literacy classes.

This incident was brought to a cabinet meeting and preached, which amused the entire cabinet.The emperor of Mingrui asked the cooperative to increase the purchase of candles, and predicted that the wind lamp would be the first good product that really went to thousands of households.

In addition, in order to demonstrate the equality of all peoples in the world, the emperor sent the two princes to the poorest village on the outskirts of Nanjing to teach in a literacy class for a month, setting an example.

Chapter 696: Zheng Chenggong's Destination

Li Yan went to sea, and not many people knew about it except the high-level court officials.But the Zheng family knew it, because Li Yan took away 7% of Zheng Chenggong's navy force, and wanted to be half of the elite navy of the Ming Dynasty, and handed it over to Li Yan.

The thing is obvious, after the Japanese kingdom was destroyed, Ming no longer had any enemies in the entire east, and the North Sea Fleet would definitely move south to assist in the defense of the East China Sea. Even if there were enemies at sea, the south would also need to pass through Nanyang.

Zheng Chenggong thought that Zhu Youjian would have to make a big move, but he felt very disappointed.As the saying goes, "Flying birds are gone, good bows are hidden." The demise of the Wa Kingdom also means that the role of the Zheng family has completely disappeared.

"Master Guoxing, something is wrong. Brothers Huang Wu and Huang An have sued you to the court together."

As the saying goes, blessings come without pairs, and misfortunes never come singly.Just when Zheng Chenggong was feeling physically and mentally exhausted, Hong Xu, Zheng Chenggong's housekeeper, brought another bad news with an anxious face.

"I behaved rightly, and sat upright! What crimes can their brothers accuse me?" Zheng Chenggong felt that he had worked hard for the court all these years, and there was nothing wrong with him. He only felt angry in his heart, but he was not nervous.

"They sue you for being greedy for land in Mexico, using the public for personal gain, and hoarding 22 acres of good land in Taiwan." Hong Xu's face changed a little as he spoke.

"It's a joke, my family has so many good fields, why don't I know?!" Zheng Chenggong sneered.

But when he turned his head to look at Hong Xu, the smile on his face froze, and he found that Hong Xu's face was not right, it was a little bruised.

"You always tell me, is it because Madam hoarded some acres in Taiwan?" After all, he was a senior official, and Zheng Chenggong immediately felt something strange.

"..." Hong Xu's face had turned pale, and his arms were trembling uncontrollably.

"Kneel down! Tell me the truth." Zheng Chenggong kicked Hong Xu to the ground, and he jumped violently.

Hong Xu was lying on the ground with his head on the floor, not daring to move.When Zheng Chenggong saw it, his eyes darkened, and he passed out.In fact, Zheng Chenggong's health is not good. Fortunately, Zhu Youjian came to this time and space, otherwise Zheng Chenggong might not be here anymore.

I don't know how long it took, Zheng Chenggong felt as if he had slept for a year, and he barely opened his eyelids.In the blur, he saw the outline of his wife Dong Yougu, but he turned his face aside in an instant and said:

"Is there anything else at home that is hiding from me?"

"Xianggong..." Aunt Dong You was about to speak.

"Shut up, I'm not your husband." Zheng Chenggong coughed badly, but in his heart he really hated the married wife in front of him.

Fortunately, at this moment, Zheng Jing, the stubborn son of the Zheng family, ran in jumping in and out, and yelled when he saw Zheng Chenggong:

"Father, the child gave you a grandson, so I'm so happy for you." Zheng Jing's big head flicked, his small eyes flicked around, and his face was full of excitement.

"What did you say?" Zheng Chenggong muttered, sat up straight, and then stared straight at Zheng Jing.

"I've heard people say that when the elders are sick, the younger generation can hold a wedding ceremony to make you happy. Maybe it can cure your illness..." Zheng Jing is not very old, but he speaks very seriously.

"Let me ask you, what did you say in the previous sentence?" Of course Zheng Chenggong didn't want to hear Zheng Jing's reasons, he wanted to hear the result.

"Boy and Chen Zhaoniang gave you a grandson..." Zheng Jing looked proud.
