The Ming Dynasty started with caution

There is a trend of capital sprouting in Ming Dynasty.

As a result, merchants generally use abacus, that is, abacus.

And Tianyuan Technique is a deeper category.

Although the scholars have a strong interest in arithmetic, they don't know how to win the award.

Wang Busui came to Yan Chengjin in a hurry: "Sir Yan, the Chamber of Commerce has changed three door bars. How will your award be judged?"

Yan Chengjin thought about it carefully,

The seven major arithmetic problems of later generations are for any scholar of the Ming Dynasty.

It's as difficult as climbing Mount Tai. You can't reach the top in one breath.

But he also had to set a goal. He wrote out a math problem on paper.

"Every year, there will be a review at the end of the year, which will be evaluated by the official, the prince and the Ministry of Rites, and then his majesty will look at it and unveil the list."

After going through the Ministry of Rites, issuing silver rewards will become an ancestral system.

Even if he dies a hundred years later, he will still be passed down by the Ministry of Rites.

Even if the dynasty changes, it cannot be changed.

Just like the Ming Dynasty's imperial examination system, although it perished, the Qing Dynasty still inherited the Ming Dynasty's imperial examination system.

The capital city was noisy for a while, and could not calm down for a long time. There was an illusion of a prosperous age.

Qianmen Street, Jingyu Inn.

The diners were bustling and chatting happily about the newly established silver reward.

But the award is too unfamiliar to the common people. Storytellers like to call it "Gaozhao Silver Award".

"Boss, the old godfather in Beijing is so delicious. The younger one can eat ten bowls of rice."

The boy covered his mouth and snickered, the rice in his mouth holding up his cheeks.

Wang Ziran waved his hand and said, "Have you found out what I asked you to investigate?"

"Does the boss want to kill the prince or the dog official Yan Chengjin?"

The boy lowered his voice and asked quietly.

He can't live and eat for free for too long. It takes a long time to inquire about someone.

Restaurants in the capital are extremely expensive, and a day's stay costs one tael of silver.

Seven or eight young men looked over together.

Just wait for Wang Ziran to reply.

"Go back to your room and talk!"

Soon, seven or eight people returned to the room. Wang Ziran glared at them and said: "Outside the capital, people are in dire straits, but in the capital there is singing and dancing, and thirty thousand taels of silver are given as rewards. It is extremely extravagant!

Kill Zhu Houzhao first, so that the Dog Emperor will not succeed. "

I heard that Yan Chengjin, the dog officer, was secretly followed by Jin Yiwei.

He was intercepted several times but could not kill him.

Wang Ziran put the uneaten cucumber on the table and cut it in half: "I want Zhu Houzhao, like this!"

Everyone looked at the cucumber cut into two pieces and immediately understood.

Zhu Houzhao often sneaked out of the palace to play alone.

According to the information given by the mysterious person, Xiao Zhu Xiucai is Zhu Houzhao, riding a big black horse and often hanging out in Liangxiang.

"Ah San went to find out when Zhu Houzhao will leave the palace."

"Ah Si went to Liangxiang to buy firearms. Even though there are so many of us, we can definitely hack him to death.

But just in case, keep a firearm and burn him to death. "

Saltpeter and sulfur are strictly controlled by the Shuntian Prefecture Yamen and the Ministry of Industry.

But you can buy kerosene, and there are glass bottles in Liangxiang, so you can make your own incendiary bombs.

If it were thrown at Zhu Houzhao, it would not kill him but would burn him to death.

The boys dispersed in a hurry and went to inquire.

It's late at night,

The boy Asan opened the door and came in: "According to the scholars in Liangxiang, Zhu Houzhao would go to Liangxiang to buy it every now and then."

"Boss, I also bought kerosene, knives, bows and arrows."

Jiang Ziran nodded. Their skills, after rigorous training by the mysterious man, were comparable to those of hundreds of Jin Yiwei.

It is said that Zhu Houzhao knows how to bow and horse, as well as some fists and kicks.

However, it may not be able to deal with people at the level of seven Jinyiwei Baihu.

Besides, he also had kerosene, bows and arrows, and knew his route to Liangxiang.

Everything is ready except for the prince to leave the palace.

…

East Palace,

The eunuchs worked for several days, pasting fences on the walls and building mud nests.

Zhu Houzhao looked forward to it, but no swallows came.

"Lao Gao, I have done something wrong. Why don't you see Yan come back?"

Today, it is March of the 16th year of Hongzhi.

Usually, swallows gradually fly back to the north in March.

But the Little Ice Age caused persistent low temperatures, and the swallows delayed their return.

Yan Chengjin said: "If you wait two more months, the swallows will come back. However, I would like to remind Your Highness that not all swallows are called swiftlets."

Ordinary swallows do not produce bird's nests.

Swiftlets cannot be raised artificially, so Yan Chengjin’s large greenhouse in Liangxiang cannot be built.

Zhu Houzhao blinked: "The remaining flowers in March are blooming more and more, and the swallows are flying from the eaves every day. Why wait for May?"

Yan Chengjin didn't bother to explain to him that bird migration would be affected by temperature.

Moreover, this poem talks about the south.

Otherwise, he will have another long speech.

"I don't understand either. Your Highness, please ask Master Yang."

Xi Nuan Pavilion,

The Metropolitan Procuratorate is in charge of Yan Chengjin. Emperor Hongzhi still did not see the bullet: "The Imperial Censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is still memorizing the Ming Dynasty Law?"

Xiao Jing responded in a low voice: "Reporting to Your Majesty, I am still reading. Every day after Mao hour, the duty room of the Metropolitan Inspectorate is like a private school, and the sound of reciting is endless."

Thinking of a group of old censors holding up the Ming Rules and reciting them, Emperor Hongzhi felt that his salary was all in vain.

"Where's Yan Chengjin? He's also reciting."

Xiao Jing hesitated and then said: "At this time, Mr. Yan usually drinks tea in the East Palace."

You cannot rest at will in the side halls of the palace.

It’s too noisy when checking in, so the best place to go is the East Palace, where there are earth dragons, tea and snacks.

Yan Chengjin really found a good place.

After hearing this, Emperor Hongzhi knew that Yan Chengjin and the prince were in the East Palace and must be planning something.

Get another thirty thousand taels.

No matter how strong my body is, I can't stand it.

"Go, I want to go to the East Palace to see what Yan Chengjin teaches the prince."

Emperor Hongzhi walked out of the warm room, and a gust of cold wind blew, but he didn't feel too cold.

Your Majesty's body is getting stronger and stronger.

After a year of persistent exercise, your majesty's belly fat faded and turned into a firm bun, and his body became a little more sturdy.

Xiao Jing couldn't help but sigh repeatedly, and he had to ask the Shangyijian to prepare a new dragon robe.

Emperor Hongzhi stepped on the snow, making a creaking sound.

When they arrived at the East Palace, the companions shouted, and Yan Chengjin and Zhu Houzhao stood up in shock.

Before they stood up, Emperor Hongzhi crossed the threshold.

Xiao Jing was sharp-eyed and said nervously: "Your Majesty, look at the wall and the roof..."

Emperor Hongzhi looked up and saw the mud all over the sky. His head seemed to be blown up by gunpowder. He said angrily: "What...what is this!"

Zhu Houzhao said honestly: "Bird's nest."

This child must not be born by me...How could I give birth to such a son.

Emperor Hongzhi stared at him with an angry face, but did not speak for a long time.

"I just saw that there are bird's nests all over the roof. What is your highness building bird's nests for?" Yan Chengjin pretended to be puzzled.

Old Gao, this dog official, must be afraid of his father's punishment.

Zhu Houzhao was not afraid at all: "My mother is pregnant, but my father does not open the monthly allowance for Kunning Palace. I want to raise swallows to make bird's nests, so that there will be no waste."

It is said that after Wang Shouren quelled the rebellion of Prince Ning, Zhu Houzhao led his army south again,

but halfway through, he returned to the brothel in the capital and invited a beloved top player to go, which delayed the opportunity.

In terms of consideration, the father and son are exactly alike.

However, Emperor Hongzhi was not moved.

Seeing this, Yan Chengjin hurriedly said, "I'm back to the Censorate to take up my duties."

"I came to see you, why hasn't the Censorate issued an impeachment yet?"

Zhu Houzhao was overjoyed when he heard it: "I'm going to the Zhanshi Mansion to study."

Emperor Hongzhi waved his hand. As long as it was studying, he would never stop it.

Zhu Houzhao ran out of the East Palace and came to the side wall.

Eunuch Zhang said nervously, "Your Highness, aren't you going to the Zhanshi Mansion?"

"I want to ask why the swallows don't come to build nests. Bend down!"

Zhu Houzhao stepped on the eunuch's back and easily jumped onto the wall.
