Domineering Daming

Fish Palace.

Zhu Xu was playing chess with Li Jieyu, and Li Jieyu, who had just been named a talented person, became more and more gentle.

Her chess strength is higher than Zhu Xu's, and the kills on the chessboard are indistinguishable.

Zhu Xu let go of his tense mind and played chess to his heart's content, regardless of whether Li Jieyu deliberately let go of the water to make him happy.

"Uncle Huang, Uncle Huang, take me out to play, the Empress Dowager is going to drive her crazy..."

Xiao Yongning rushed in suddenly, took Zhu Xu's arm, and shook it vigorously, with a pitiful face, desperately acting like a baby.

Zhu Xu had nothing to do with this girl, he stared at the chessboard and said angrily: "If you make trouble again, I will send someone to invite the Queen Mother."

The little guy blinked his big eyes, suddenly let go of Zhu Xu, ran to Li Jieyu, and said softly: "Li Cairen, please, take me out to play, the emperor doesn't care about me anymore, when I was young, what did I want?" What will the uncle promise..."

Li Jieyu knew that Her Royal Highness the princess was a little devil in the palace, except for Queen Mother Zhang, she had no taboos.

She smiled lightly and said, "Princess, it's actually very simple to go out, for example, Zhang Guogong's and his wife's birthdays, other people's festivals..."

Zhu Xu hurriedly stopped her, saying: "You don't teach her these things, otherwise the emperor's sister-in-law will trouble me."

Li Jieyu smiled and said nothing, with Princess Yongning's intelligence, there is no need for her to teach her.

The little girl's eyes lit up, and she ran over to pull Zhu Xu, and said in a tired voice, "Uncle Huang, it will be his birthday in a few days..."

The corner of Zhu Xu's mouth twitched, this girl even used the word "birthday" for herself.

Li Jieyu looked at Zhu Xu and said softly, "Your Majesty, don't you want to go to Shuntian Mansion? It's almost time."

Zhu Xu raised his eyebrows, glanced at Li Jieyu, and immediately thought about it.

Chen Xinjia, governor of Shuntian Prefecture, has sent the memorabilia on the "laws of the king and patriarchal law" to the palace, and Zhu Xu is quite satisfied with it.

Chen Xinjia is just a juror, but the article is really beautiful, and his intention is "leading the coast of the land, is it the king's minister".He did not stick to the "law of the king and patriarchal law", but pushed the imperial power to a high level from this conception, thinking that "whatever the law of the king can reach, there is nothing outside it", which made the "law of the king" greater than the "patriarchal law" in disguise.

It is well-founded and does not involve those sensitive topics at all, making it impossible to refute.

Zhu Xu planned to meet him and ask him to revise and perfect it, and publish it in the court newspaper as soon as possible, so as to establish the tone of public opinion in the capital and prepare for the meeting.

Thinking of this, Zhu Xu turned his eyes to the little girl again, and said angrily: "The confinement period of the emperor's wife has not yet passed, how did you escape?"

The little girl knew there was something to be done, so she smiled and said, "The Empress Dowager has gone to Renshou Palace. Sister Huan'er was sent away by me. No one else dared to stop me."

Zhu Xu also needed someone "outside the system" to ease the atmosphere. The little girl was just right, she got up and snorted, and reprimanded: "Wait, this time the emperor's sister-in-law will not let you go easily..."

The little girl didn't care at all, and said: "Hmph, who is afraid of whom!"

Zhu Xu secretly had a headache for his sister-in-law, and after preparing for a while, he took the little girl, Cao Huachun and others pretended to leave the palace.

The so-called first month is still in the new year, and the capital is still full of New Year flavor, with a steady flow of people and endless laughter.

Little Yongning is like a runaway little wild horse, he will run over when he sees something interesting and delicious.

Zhu Xu held her tightly, not letting her go away even a single step, and taught her a lesson as she walked, "Be honest with me, if the emperor's sister-in-law troubles me this time, don't think that I will take you out again in the future, be honest with me quickly." a little……"

The little girl didn't care about these things, she wanted to break free from Zhu Xu whenever she had the chance, she was so excited.

Zhu Xu took the little girl all the way to Shuntian Mansion Yamen.

"My lord, my lord, this is really good for watering. It is much better than the windmills in the past. If the imperial court can manufacture a large number of them for farmers, it will definitely be of great use in fighting drought..."

Before I got close, I saw a large group of people gathered in the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion, noisy and noisy.

It is a farmer in his 30s, and beside him is a huge wooden "machine", similar to a waterwheel, but the changes are very large. From Zhu Xu's position, it seems to be driven by water, wind, and people. It is simple and not difficult. complex.

The yamen servant blocked him with a stick, and said coldly: "Nonsense, this is the Yamen of Shuntian Prefecture, not the place where your things should come. If you want to go, go to the Ministry of Industry..."

The farmer raised his hand and said anxiously: "My lord, there is a severe drought in the world, and the disaster is like fire. This waterwheel can resist drought and facilitate irrigation. The imperial court can't just sit idly by..."

"Hmph, amazing skills, ingenious tricks, crooked ways!"

"There are not many books in good condition, and I play with them every day. I heard that this person is still a scholar..."

"It's a pity, I went astray..."

A group of people were discussing, sighing and shaking their heads.

Chapter 547 Accusing the Emperor

The farmer looked at the attitude of the Shuntian government officials and listened to the discussions around him, and smiled wryly.

He had already been to the Ministry of Industry, and was sent away without even going in the door.

Zhu Xu watched quietly, this farmer did not seem to be a complete farmer, and it should not be a short time to study this thing.

Suddenly, Zhu Xu was taken aback, and saw that the little girl broke free from his hand at some point, and was standing under the huge "waterwheel", looking up curiously.

Zhu Xu hurriedly followed, only to see that the farmer was disheartened and was about to clean up.

"Old man, what is this?" The little girl looked at Xin Qi and then at the farmer.

The farmer's expression froze, he didn't care that he was a little girl, he pulled up the long board below, and said: "This is a 'plowing water cart' I made to irrigate the farmland. "

As he spoke, he put down the various baffles and brackets, and Zhu Xu saw that there was a flat cart underneath, which could be pulled away.

The little girl blinked and said, "Then why did you come to the Yamen? Are you going to sell it to them?"

The farmer looked at Xiao Yongning again, then at Zhu Xu, and said while tidying up: "No, I want the government to promote the world, so that many people can be saved."

The little girl seemed to understand, but felt that this big guy was rare, so she looked at it curiously, and curled her lips bored after watching it.

Zhu Xu looked at him as if moved, and said, "Did you just say that this is called 'plowing water cart'?"

The farmer was startled, looked at Zhu Xu seriously and said, "I have said this name no less than a thousand times, but no one cares about the word 'plow'. In fact, this is not only a waterwheel, it can also be used to cultivate land, which saves labor and is convenient. , if people work a little harder, they can do it without cows.”

Zhu Xu frowned. There is no doubt how important the farming cattle are at this time. Killing the farming cattle is a crime and should be severely punished!

"Ministry of Industry, Shuntian Mansion won't let you in?" Zhu Xu looked at the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion with a cold gaze, and said in his usual tone.

The farmer had already packed up the "plowing water cart" and pulled up the flat cart to leave. Maybe Zhu Xu saw the word "plowing" and felt somewhat confidant. Said: "The country emphasizes literature, scholars are all proud of Confucius and Mencius, and ashamed of craftsmen. This yamen is noble, and I can't afford it. Little brother, study hard, don't imitate me, hey..."

The farmer let out a long sigh, shook his head, and pulled the "plowing water cart" step by step, leaving with some difficulty.

Fortunately, most of the bluestone roads in the capital have been replaced with cement roads, which are smooth and smooth. If it is a dirt road, it is estimated that one person will not be able to walk it.

Zhu Xu looked at his back, the corners of his eyes twitched unconsciously, and said in a cold tone, "Tell Xu Dahua to come over, by the way, and Li Yizao!"

Xu Dahua was the minister of the Ministry of Industry, and Li Yizao was also in charge of the teaching of "craftsmanship" and "craftsmanship" in the Royal Political Academy.
