Ming dynasty grand dude

"Foolish tiger, how old are you?! It's a bit arrogant to compare yourself to an important minister in the court!"

Seeing this, Xiao Zhengde was also indignant: "That's right! Mr. Xiya also said that he can write big characters at the age of four and is better than you at the age of 15!"

Zhang Lun rolled his eyes, cut!It's a big deal. Labor and capital were first abused by the nine-year compulsory education, and then by the college entrance examination.

Then I also met the dean of the dog-criticism department, who came up with those dog-critic questions!Four years of labor-management university abuse!

Every time I think of it, it's not only a full face, but also a bird's sour brain cramps!It is estimated that drinking ten tons or eight tons of melatonin can't make up for it!

That old thing also said that he admired me, and wanted to deceive labor and management to become a graduate student!But go ahead and make his spring and autumn dream, labor and management would rather die than engage in those crappy things!

"If Your Majesty opens Enke next year, it's not a problem for me to refer to the county, court, and government to take the case first."

Zhang Lun shrugged his shoulders, and said: "If we are allowed to take the township test, then the test of Xie Yuan is nothing but easy~!"

"Oh?! Are you so sure?!" Emperor Hongzhi laughed dumbfounded, but then shook his head: "Enke didn't just say so."

Little Zhengde was about to speak, but he couldn't help being speechless when he heard his father say that.

Standing behind Emperor Hongzhi, Xiao Jing looked at Zhang Lun meaningfully, but quickly lowered his eyes, looking like a clay sculpture and wood carving.

Seeing this, Zhang Lun couldn't help but slapped his mouth: "Your Majesty, how about we make a bet?!"

"Oh?! How to gamble?!" Emperor Hongzhi was indeed interested in this pretty little guy.

"There are currently three scholars under my sect, and they are also here for this year's imperial examination."

Zhang Lun looked at Emperor Hongzhi sternly, and said seriously: "Now I'm practicing in Zhangjiazhuangzi's thatched hut. If all three of them are in high school, I will win."

"If I win, how about His Majesty opening Enke once?!"

Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help laughing when he heard this childish words: "You idiot! The imperial examinations are for the country, how can you be so hasty?!"

"Then how about another one?!" Zhang Lun's beautiful red phoenix peach blossom turned around, and said with a smile: "If all three of my disciples are named on the gold list, your majesty can order a minister to test me."

Zhang Lun looked at Emperor Hongzhi and Xiao Zhengde, and said, "If I pass the exam, then I am qualified to teach the crown prince together?!"

Emperor Hongzhi really laughed. It turned out that the child was not convinced to be a companion but wanted to be a teacher!

But think about it, if you can make absolutes and write hundreds of thousands of characters, you will be better at martial arts and swordsmanship.

It is estimated that the heart is not low.

Besides, it's normal for Zhang Lun, who is the grandson of the British government, to be a little bit high-spirited!

Emperor Hongzhi has always commented on his generosity and benevolence in history, that is, unless you violate his principles, he is easy to speak.

"Besides, to be honest, I'm really afraid that they will spoil the good Prince His Royal Highness."

But Zhang Lun curled his lips in disdain: "Cultivating one's morality, the words of the master are naturally very good."

"But the strategy of governing the country can be achieved by just reading a book?! This is really bullshit."

Zhang Lun held up the pair of red phoenix peach blossoms with his hands behind his back, with his nostrils upturned: "In the early Song Dynasty, he knew that the crown prince and the governor of Kaifeng should be familiar with political affairs!"

"Why did the prince be locked up in the palace in this dynasty?!"

Emperor Hongzhi smiled wryly, this idiot is really a little idiot!Dare to jump out of anything.

But it seems reasonable to think about it carefully. How can the crown prince be familiar with military and political affairs just by studying? !

On this point, Emperor Hongzhi himself has the most say, and it has been more than ten years since he inherited the throne.

From being in a hurry at the beginning to being able to do things with ease now, this has all been tempered little by little.It's not that you can understand military and political affairs by reading books.

Those are nothing but the fantasies of fools and rotten scholars, and Emperor Hongzhi was also deeply moved.

Although this idiot is young and handsome, he has a lot of knowledge.No wonder he dared to say that he has the talent to be a tutor to the prince!

Emperor Hongzhi was first of all generous, but this does not mean that he was stupid or incapable of knowing politics.

Otherwise, there would not have been an increase in the number of households and taxes in the Ming Dynasty during the Hongzhi period.

"In this way, I will send a few Jinwu imperial guards to obey your orders!" However, Emperor Hongzhi pondered for a while, and said: "You come back from your travels, and I will treat it as a secret note."

Hearing this, Zhang Lun was taken aback for a moment and then said with an innocent face: "Your Majesty, the boy is only thirteen. Even if he is only fourteen years later..."

"Little slacker!" Emperor Hongzhi seemed to realize at this moment: This kid is only thirteen, how can he make a secret concert!

I couldn't laugh or cry for a while: "When you come back, you always have to make a report. When the time comes, I will test the school on you."

"Your Majesty, I'm only 13 years old!" Zhang Lun emphasized again, but Emperor Hongzhi just turned around with a smile.

Facing Zhang Mao, he said with emotion: "Mao Gong has a good grandson. This is not only the luck of the Qing family, but also the luck of my Ming Dynasty and my luck!"

Chapter 21 I was drunk and stabbed a horse, fought across the four oceans and five continents

Zhang Mao even said that His Majesty praised him absurdly, and said that his grandson is too young, so His Majesty should not praise him too much to prevent him from being arrogant.

Xiao Jing looked at the sky, and carefully reminded Emperor Hongzhi that it was time to go back.

Only then did Emperor Hongzhi smile and say bother to Zhang Mao, and then left the British palace under the respectful escort of Zhang Mao's father and grandson.

Before getting into the carriage, a guard ran up to Xiao Jing's side and whispered something in his ear.

After Xiao Jing swung him back, he got into the carriage and began to help Emperor Hongzhi drive the carriage.

"Your Majesty, the factory guard just came to report. This afternoon, the young master of the Zhang family went to the Baowen Hall under the Supervisor of Rites to ask for a brush..."

Xiao Jing told Emperor Hongzhi in the carriage all the things, and even took Baowentang's nephew's comments, and Chen Weizhen brought the book back to Da Nei.

How did the Empress Dowager Zhou behave when she listened to the book... and so on, she said everything in detail.

Xiao Zhengde's eyes were shining in the carriage, but Emperor Hongzhi just shook his head and smiled wryly.

Through these news and Zhang Lun's performance, Emperor Hongzhi could easily judge Zhang Lun's situation.

This is a well-informed but arrogant kid, as can be seen from the fact that he spent a few thousand taels at home, as if earning it back by selling literature.

At the same time, this is a well-proportioned kid. He didn't rely on the name of the British government or go into business to make money.

His approach is extremely beautiful, but reasonable.Please polish the pen, it is also the ability of cultural people to say this.

Besides, Li Mingyuan Wen Zhenggong, a famous Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty, also compiled "Taiping Guangji".

Isn't Jiang Zihui, the governor of the Tang Dynasty, passed down to this day because "The Biography of Huo Xiaoyu" was included in "Taiping Guangji"? !

But Emperor Hongzhi sighed again, this idiot is either capable or a bit childish!

You don't know when, a big disaster will come to you.Wouldn't it be a pity if such a talented person was lost? !

The loyalty of the Zhang family of the British Duke is nothing to say, this idiot has such talents at a young age, but he does not know how brilliant he will be in the future when he travels and learns.

Even if I don't play very well in front of him, Hou Zhao will be able to protect this ancestor no matter how bad he is in the future if he has such a loyal and great talent to help him!

Thinking of this, Emperor Hongzhi opened the curtain of the car and said softly to Xiao Jing who was driving.

"Xiao Banban, please take care of Chi Hu'er. If he has something to report to the palace, don't let anyone hurt him."

Xiao Jing couldn't help being shocked when he heard the words, but he was relieved immediately.He is also an old man who has gone through several dynasties, so he naturally guessed the emperor's mind.

According to this meaning, it is to protect him and save talents for the crown prince!As long as this family idiot doesn't make any big mistakes, he will be rich and honorable in the future!

"The minister asked the factory guards to pay more attention when he went back, and he decided not to let anyone hurt Mr. Zhang..."

"Chi Hu'er, are you really planning to go to Jiangnan with that Tang Bohu?!"

After seeing off the emperor and his son, Zhang Mao did not go to rest early as usual.

Instead, he asked Zhang Lun to follow him to the study room, and after the butler Zhou served tea, he quietly retreated, leaving only the grandfather and grandson behind.

"Father, if grandson doesn't take advantage of the present to go out more, then he really won't be able to go out in the future..."

Zhang Lun looked at his elder father and said firmly: "Walk out while your grandson can still go out. Even seeing the world is better than being trapped in the capital."

Of course, Zhang Lun was not telling the truth.The main reason for him to go out is to see the colorful world of Daming!

In the past, I only read it from books, but now I have this opportunity, how can Zhang Lun miss it? !

Thinking back to my Zhang Lun days, it was an elegant thing for the spear pickers to bring beauties to go boating on the West Lake.

By the time of the Ming Dynasty, the ship could not only entertain guests and have secret talks, but also stay overnight and row the boat.

Those who seem to be later generations are probably high-end peripheral escorts.

Zhang Lun gets excited just thinking about it, but it's a pity that the chicken can't move now.But at any rate, I have seen it first, and it is not in vain for my soul to wear this Ming Dynasty!

Chapter 22 The cost of the manuscript was too low, and someone in the palace wanted to urge an update

"Mr. Uncle Zhi, let's settle my little father-in-law's embellishment pen..."

Housekeeper Zhou was smiling in the inner hall of Baowen Hall, chatting with Xiao Shen, who was fat and smiling like an old chrysanthemum.

In the past few days, Xiao Shen has been rushing in a hurry, so he sprinkled a lot of silver and finally let the craftsmen finish the engraving and print ten thousand copies of "Youdu Night Dream: The Complete Biography of the White Snake Lady".

I never thought that it was sold out just three days after it was put on the shelves!There are also wealthy ladies who are in a hurry, and they don't hesitate to leave a deposit to ask for a copy for themselves when the goods arrive.

This made Xiao Shen overjoyed, and the book was priced at three taels.Stripped of paper, engraving, printing, binding...

If you don't give Zhang Lun a two-dollar embellishment pen, that book will at least have one or two half of the net profit!

This frankly is more than 5000 taels of silver, even if it is deducted for filial piety in the palace and management everywhere.

There must be at least seven stewards in the hand to eat, this is Xiao Jing's very clear performance.

In history, many eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty directly placed their relatives in lucrative positions.Some even got inserted into the bureaucracy.

"It's natural! It's natural!" Xiao Shen didn't dare to owe money to this young man, he was his God of Wealth!

Besides, can he be in arrears with the young master of the British government? !

The 400 copies that were just printed have been sold out, and there are more than [-] copies that have been paid for.One book Zhang Lun mentioned was two coins of silver, which totaled more than [-] taels.

Butler Zhou was so excited, it's so exciting that more than 1000 taels came in all of a sudden!

And this money is not for renting and doing business, it is a serious pen fee.That said, it is also a matter of Bel's face.

Don't think that people in the Ming Dynasty sold themselves to seek refuge, so they obeyed their masters in everything.

Although there is a saying that "evil slaves deceive their masters, it doesn't matter if they are killed", selling one's body to the government of the state is a completely different concept from selling one's body to a merchant's family.

Selling one's body to Ge's hometown is also a different concept from selling one's body to the middle officials of the six ministries.

There are also comparisons between domestic slaves, your master must be a corrupt official with a fat head and big ears!

My master is a leader in Qingliu, so I don't bother to be with you, a wicked slave of a treacherous minister's family.I have to pooh you.

So of course Steward Zhou was excited, this is a good touch!It's because of the face that the money is taken out!

In the second part of "Youdu Night Dream: The Complete Biography of the White Snake Lady", it is determined that the embellishment pen is five coins per copy.

Naturally, it was impossible for Xiao Shen to bargain on this matter, so he quickly agreed to it.

He even stuffed housekeeper Zhou with a pearl. After all, if he stuffed more money, Xiao Shen felt distressed first, and if it was less, he might as well not give it.

Although this is a sea pearl, it is just right that it can be worth two or thirty taels of silver if you take it out and use it.

Of course, according to the usual practice, Butler Zhou had to shirk for a while, and only put it in his sleeves at Xiao Shen's insistence.

After seeing Steward Zhou off, Xiao Shen sighed leisurely, and then ordered someone to quickly copy down the entire second half.

He himself went to the gate of the palace ban, asked the guards to find a familiar guard, and the little eunuch handed him money and asked him to tell Chen Gongling that the second part of "Legend of the White Snake" had arrived.

Only then did I go back to the shop, checked the copy of "Legend of the White Snake", and immediately began to carve the panels.

Although Xiao Shen doesn't know the saying "time is money, my friend", it doesn't prevent him from understanding the principle of printing it out as soon as possible and earning money as soon as possible.

"Little Que'er, when do you think the second half will be finished..." The Empress Dowager Zhou is very resentful now.

This book is gone after reading halfway, so that the old lady waits for the update no less than the readers of later generations.

Even the old lady almost wanted someone, and went to the British government to find Zhang Lun and asked for the second half.

"The concubine has already told Mr. Shuzhi of Baowentang that he will notify us as soon as he gets the second half."

Chen Weizhen filled the Queen Mother with tea with a smile, and said softly: "Why don't I read it to you again?!"

"No, Xiao Que'er, go out of the palace to see if you got it."

The Empress Dowager Zhou wore tortoiseshell glasses, and flipped through the illustrations on the original manuscript: "You said that this family idiot is too bad, and it's only half written..."

"I've only read half of the book, it's very annoying..."

Zhang Lun didn't know, because he almost encountered the reader's force to update the question that he didn't update.
