What kind of bad intentions can the little prince have?

Even in ancient times, many things were ultimately economic issues.If you have money and food, many things are easy to handle. If you have no money and food, and you have a mouth, then you have no right to speak.When Confucius was hungry, he didn't even talk about the etiquette and shame that he advocated the most. His disciples ate the food and put on the clothes without asking where they came from!At this time, he naturally does not have the qualifications to tell people the truth, and no one will listen to him.

For the emperor, having money and food means that he has the ability to eliminate the opposition from the outside, so he feels that the table can now be turned.

Li Zhi flipped the table, but in the summer, there were more than 20 exiled scholars and officials in Quanzhou.

The news here is too closed, people are exiled here, Li Zhicai received the Di Bao, and understood the whole story, these are all involved in cheating in the imperial examination.Since the birth of the imperial examination, cheating has emerged in an endless stream.Especially these days, the exams are too careless, there will be no body searches, and the exam papers will not be obscured. Candidates can blatantly visit the examiners no matter before or after the exam. It can be said that if you don’t cheat, you will be sorry for so many conveniences. .

Li Zhi was also cheated. He played a game of fishing law enforcement and directly cheated these people. These people were caught straight, and more than a dozen officials related to the scientific examination were involved. At this time, the imperial examination Cheating has not yet risen to the level of a capital offense, and the Qing Dynasty was the one that dealt with the most serious things like cheating in imperial examinations. It is no wonder that after the fall of the Qing Dynasty, there were still a lot of loyal elders and children who were clearly not bannermen, but never forgot about the Qing Dynasty. .

Then, when dealing with these people, Li Zhi thought that although these people cheated, their backgrounds are not bad. Okay, but there is no guarantee of being on the list, so Li Zhi was directly sentenced to exile in Quanzhou, which is regarded as a gift for Li Yue.

This is what Li Yue is worried about, he is really short of manpower now, this time it is a timely help.

Since they were exiled criminals, Li Yue had no intention of appointing them, so he directly recruited the young men and asked them to come over as teachers, mainly responsible for enlightenment work.Now the stalls on his side are getting bigger and bigger, requiring craftsmen to have more knowledge instead of relying on word of mouth and previous experience.Therefore, he gave those people a choice, either, according to the normal practice of exiled prisoners, if you want to live here, you can find your own way, even, according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, these exiled prisoners need to obey more rules than civilians. Labor, of course, you can also pay people to serve you, but the question is, how much money can they have, besides, it is not like before, Li Yue has introduced a rule in his fief, which is to abolish Most of the corvee labor was replaced by employment.However, this only targets civilians, not criminals.Unless they are sentenced to hard labor, in fact criminals are generally kept in prisons. However, after Li Yue arrived in Quanzhou, he used his power to create a law in the entire four states of Fujian, that is, criminals must follow the law. According to the seriousness of the crime, he will be given reform through labor.Of course, the death row inmates who wait for murder and arson are counted. These people are all desperadoes. Who knows if they will take advantage of this time to violently murder and run away?Therefore, in fact, it is the kind of ordinary criminals who will perform different hard labor according to the severity of the crimes. The lighter ones are actually simple physical labor, which is not very heavy. It's too low from the outside.

And according to the rules set by Li Yue, these exiles are the same, they need to serve corvee, and they also need to serve a certain amount of labor.Of course, what they can choose is whether to do physical work or mental work.

There is nothing to say about this. Although scholars today still have the habit of practicing martial arts, it seems that they usually need a sword when they go to Beijing to rush for the exam. After all, the road to Beijing is not very peaceful.But if they are really asked to do such pure physical work, then they will definitely not be able to do it.They belong to the kind of typical four-body inactivity and disregard of five grains. In addition, they sneer at this kind of physical work, because they feel in their hearts that they are superior people, laborers of mind, not laborers.

Therefore, facing the choice given by Li Yue, even if they knew that their students were only some craftsmen and apprentices, or even Yue people, they could only comfort themselves with Confucius' saying that there is no distinction between teaching and learning. , They don't want to hang out with those mud legs.Now that it has fallen into Li Yue's hands, the family background and contacts they are proud of are useless at all.

In addition, they always understand one thing, what it means to be under the eaves and have to bow your head.In a place like Lingnan, many dignitaries have died over the years, not to mention them. Didn't Li Chengqian, the deposed prince of the late emperor, die in Qianzhou?Therefore, if they are disobedient here, no one will doubt it even if they are killed and they are said to be disobedient.

Under such circumstances, those guys were quite calm. Some of them even felt like treasures when they saw some natural science books edited by Li Yue. People can do such things as cheating on exams, but their brains are actually quite active, even if they have more crooked thoughts.

He Lanminzhi is now regarded as a little teacher here. He was brought by Li Yue's side. He was called His Highness Li Yue before, but now he directly calls Li Yue his teacher.Even though Li Yue was actually a little younger than him, He Lanminzhi didn't care about it.He Lanminzhi is a typical pragmatist. On Minyue's side, the Four Books and Five Classics are useless. I have read basic enlightenment books, such as the Thousand Characters and the Cangjie Chapter and Ai Li Chapter handed down from the Qin and Han Dynasties. , You can almost know the commonly used characters, and then everyone will turn to learn the so-called learning of things.He Lanminzhi may have had some utilitarianism in the beginning, but now, he has begun to indulge in it.

Although Li Yue didn't know what kind of person He Lanminzhi was in the real history, but now this young man is quite diligent and motivated, with a high spirit and interest is the best teacher. He Lanminzhi especially likes chemistry. He is particularly interested in the changes of matter. Li Yue specially fired a batch of glass experimental vessels and set up several laboratories. Besides Li Yue, He Lanminzhi used it the most. Now, he can be regarded as Li Yue's project. The person in charge is now, one person is in charge of several projects, one is cement, ceramics, and anti-corrosion and anti-rust agents.In addition, He Lanminzhi also shouldered the important task of training several enlightenment teachers of Gewu, so it can be said that he was very busy.

In future generations, Li Yue will be called a black-hearted capitalist who exploits child labor. However, He Lanminzhi is really not what Li Yue asked him to do. Ever since He Lanminzhi left Chang'an, he has been like a bird Like flying out of a cage, the whole person is different from before. When he was in Chang'an, He Lanminzhi often seemed a little gloomy. Now he doesn't care about those bullshit things in Chang'an, and suddenly he has the appearance of a real boy. The appearance is high-spirited, that is called a full of energy.Li Yue asked him to rest early, but he didn't even agree.

Li Yue didn't have much energy to take care of He Lanminzhi's affairs, the boat he bought from Jiaozhou finally came back, not only came back, they also brought him a surprise.

"Did you kill a whale?" Li Yue looked at the whale that was dragged back by them. Although it was not a blue whale that was 40 to [-] meters long, it was more than ten meters long. It looked like a huge house.

Fishermen at sea actually have a high probability of encountering whales. However, most people don’t think about whales. The main reason is that they are too big, and many whales come and go in groups, and some of them are relatively large. , Ordinary boats are not easy to approach at all, and the vortex caused by the sinking of others can make you capsize.This time they were able to get such a large whale, on the one hand, it was a coincidence that the whale was separated from its own group and met a group of sharks, which made them take advantage of it, and the group of sharks were taken by them together. Killed, but compared to this whale, sharks and so on, everyone doesn't pay attention to it.

Whales are a good thing. In this era, there are still many whale schools in the sea. Until the age of great navigation in Europe and even the era of the industrial revolution, the hunting of whales has never stopped. Whale oil, bones, whalebone, and fish skin are all It's a good thing. If you meet a sperm whale, you can get ambergris from its stomach. Of course, this quality is definitely not as good as the sperm whale excreted by itself and then washed by sea water.In short, whales are full of treasures. On the contrary, most of the whale meat is discarded without sufficient fresh-keeping technology.In fact, in this era, some fishermen would kill whales, not for the meat, but for the oil in the whale's body. Whale oil was called mermaid ointment a long time ago. It is used as the fuel for the eternal lamp in the mausoleum.

After Li Yue saw the whale, he immediately came up with this idea. There is really no talk about animal protection these days. The protection of animals in later generations is simply overwhelming. At least before humans invented guns and over-exploited forests and oceans, these wild animals Don't worry about extinction.In the past, when Li Yue wanted to develop the sea, he mainly thought about sea trade, and fishing was just a bonus.But after seeing this giant whale, Li Yue came to his senses. Maritime trade and the like are certainly profitable, but now if you want to do business, you can do nothing more than go to those places. The Japanese country next to it can go south, but the aborigines in Nanyang really have no money. No matter how good things are there, they don’t know how to develop them. In the case of insufficient immigrant population, if they want to develop Nanyang, that is Arabian Nights.Or, just find a way to find a sea route to Tianzhu and Arabia, where there is money now, the question is, is this sea route so easy to find?Moreover, this kind of ocean voyage is really too dangerous.

So, simply, don’t think about sea trade, then play something big, directly kill whales, make meat jerky and meat floss, and then use everything else, calculate carefully, a bigger whale is not sold It's only a few thousand guns!

And He Lanminzhi, who also rushed over to watch the excitement, looked at the whale, and his eyes lit up, pointing to the fish skin that those people had peeled off, and said to Li Yue: "Your Highness, I want this!"
