The Ming Dynasty started with caution

Stepping into the palace gate, Yan Chengjin saw a pile of small gold mountains.

"Did you draw a nautical chart?"

Gao Feng looked at Yan Chengjin blankly and shook his head.

"Where did we land? Do you have a map?"

Gao Feng shook his head again.

Zhang Yanling blinked, took out a cowhide scroll from his arms, and looked at Zhu Houzhao with some displeasure, "Eunuch Liu asked me to give it to the new emperor to record his merits."

Gao Feng regretted slandering Liu Jin.

This damn eunuch actually saved a trick.

Li Dongyang stepped forward and took a look, and he saw that the map had a rough outline of the territory, but it was only half of it, like a fragment.

Han Wen and others also came up and looked at the map with curiosity.

"This is the Golden State? How big is it?"

"It's bigger than Jiawala in the Ming Dynasty, and I don't know how many acres of slaves there are..." Gao Feng muttered.

Bigger than Ming Jawa La?

Yan Chengjin could tell at a glance that this kangaroo shape was...

Liu Yu, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, said: "Do you want to build a thousand ships? I think it is better to build 1,500 ships."

Not less than these five hundred ships.

Anyway, the gold transported back to the Golden State will be used by Yan Chengjin to restructure it sooner or later.

"The officials also want to ask for a salary of 200,000 taels, which will be used as military pay for Hanlin to take office." Zhang Cai bowed and bowed.

After Han Wen was promoted to bachelor of Wuying Palace, Zhang Cai, the left minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, was promoted to minister of the main ministry. Following the dog official Yan Chengjin, he finally got some benefits.

………

Kunning Palace,

The Supreme Emperor Hongzhi heard that Zhu Zaikun always slipped out of the palace in the past two days, so he ordered him to come and stay for three days.

"Why don't you study in Zhan Shifu? When the world is a little more stable, we need to be more conscientious and cautious. If we are proud and indulgent at this time, it will definitely lead to chaos and defeat. Do you understand?"

Prince Zhu Zaikun knelt on the ground, held his head high and said, "Sun Chen wants to find Yan Fang."

The Supreme Emperor Hongzhi turned around in surprise and asked Xiao Jing, "Isn't Yan Fanglai in Zhan Shifu?"

"At first, I came to the palace for half a day, then I came to the palace every two days, and then every five days. Now, I haven't entered the palace for a long time..."

Xiao Jing didn't know what Yan Chengjin was thinking. If he was influenced by a great scholar in the palace, he would definitely become a great scholar.

The opportunity was pushed away by him.

Empress Dowager Zhang was working as a female celebrity, and she couldn't help but look up at this moment, "The Ai family likes him, he knows etiquette very well, and he always brings gifts to the Ai family every time he comes to Qianqing Palace."

What kind of etiquette can a small child know? Yan Chengjin taught it.

What a human being!

The Supreme Emperor Hongzhi frowned slightly, looked at Xiao Jing next to him and said, "Xuan Yan Cheng Jin is here!"

Soon, Yan Chengjin came to the Jinshen Hall, "I am discussing with the princes the affairs of the Golden State. I wonder why the Supreme Emperor summoned the ministers?"

Check the post?

But Zhu Zaikun, who was kneeling, didn't look like he was Chagang.

"The ship from the Golden State is back?" Emperor Hongzhi's eyes were a little surprised. There really is a Golden State overseas. "How much gold was brought back? Forget it, it's none of my business. Why did you let Fang Lai go to his good hometown?"

Yan Chengjin was surprised: "Is Fang Lai Chen's son?"

The Supreme Emperor Hongzhi was speechless for a moment. Yes, what is the crime in teaching his son to go to a good land?

"I'm asking you, why don't you learn from Zhan Shifu's book?"

Your Majesty, times have changed.

Just waiting for you to ask this question!

Yan Chengjin did not dare to speak nonsense in front of the Supreme Emperor, "As I said, science is a subject that can change the world. If we only study Confucianism, we will go astray."

The Supreme Emperor Hongzhi's pupils tightened. Ten years ago, this son mentioned it several times, but now it makes some sense to see what he said.

"I would like to advise you to include science in the prince's lectures."

Although the royal family has no use for it, it needs to pay attention to it.

Yan Chengjin didn't know how long he could live. Maybe after he became an official, Liangxiang Science School would cease to exist, which would be a huge loss to the Ming Dynasty.

To be prudent, science needs to be included in the royal lectures and protected by the royal family of all generations. Scholars would not dare to say that this is miscellaneous subjects, right?

Empress Dowager Zhang frowned slightly, "Although the Ai family doesn't know what you mean by science, are there any officials in the palace who are familiar with science?"

"Yes, Song Jing and Xie Pi, as well as the children of ministers such as Liang Chu, Mao Ji, and Liu Yu, are all students of science."

The Supreme Emperor Hongzhi was slightly surprised.

"Master Yan, if I study science, can I come to the palace to study?"

"Can."

"Then I want to study science."

This, I remember, you are thinking about my daughter, why...

The Supreme Emperor Hongzhi fell into deep thought. It was extremely important for the prince to receive education. The decree was a fixed rule and could not be determined by Yan Chengjin's words. "What are the benefits of studying this science?"

"To stabilize the country, the time for a minister to serve as an official is not long. It can be as short as fifty years or as long as eighty years. If the minister becomes an official, science will definitely be classified as a miscellaneous subject by the officials. If it can be included in the Zhanshi Mansion, it will be taught by successive emperors. guard……"

"...You still have more than a hundred years before you have to plan your affairs?" said the Supreme Emperor Hongzhi.

Who can say for sure, he was ready to run away with the bucket at every moment.

Yan Chengjin bowed: "It's always good to prepare early."

The Supreme Emperor Hongzhi narrowed his eyes, "Yan Qing family, I am asking you, have you known about the Golden State for a long time? And the silver mines in Mankara and the island country?"

This guy can predict the silver mine every time, and this time the Golden State also brought gold back, a god-like prophecy.

If this boy didn't have to eat and sleep, he would really think he was a god.

Yan Chengjin turned his head slightly, and Xiao Jing quickly lowered his head. Could it be that the fact that he was a time traveler was discovered?

"...I do have some talents, but I am not as capable of predicting world affairs as the Supreme Emperor thinks."

The Supreme Emperor Hongzhi heard the profound meaning.

This guy admitted half of it and denied half of it. "Since I have talent, when will I be able to conquer the sky?"

Xiao Jing opened his mouth slightly and his face was pale. Queen Mother Zhang raised her eyes in shock. Zhu Zaikun blinked his big eyes a few times and looked at Yan Chengjin.

It's time for you to die long ago...

Yan Chengjin knew that after people retire, they will often think about this matter and have nothing to do.

"I am not a magician. Maybe the Supreme Emperor will live a long life. If you have nothing to do, the Supreme Emperor might as well go to Liangxiang to give lectures and listen to science. Jiang Gong, Liu Gong and Wang Yue are all here."

After Yan Chengjin left, the Supreme Emperor Hongzhi got on the carriage and arrived at the Liangxiang Library an hour later. The platform where Wang Shouren once talked about the study of mind was replaced by Liu Jian.

A university that teaches the Four Books and Five Classics is surrounded by scholars.

Wang Yue's sharp eyes saw the Supreme Emperor Hongzhi: "Master Zhu is here?"

Jiang Mian and Ma Wensheng also turned around and saluted the Supreme Emperor Hongzhi.

"Why is the Supreme Emperor here?"

"Come and listen to science."

…………

Zhan Shifu, Zuo Chunfang.

As soon as Wang Hua walked into the courtyard, he heard the young eunuch announce the decree, naming him Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Personnel, and the new Zhan Shi was named Song Jing.

How come you got promoted with no merit or salary?

The little eunuch handed over the imperial edict with one hand and extended the other hand obviously for money, "Congratulations, Mr. Wang, can you take the edict quickly?"

Wang Hua took out two taels of silver and went to the cabinet with the imperial edict: "Mr. Li, you have no merit and no salary when you are a low-ranking official. Why have you been promoted?"

The father is more valuable than the son, so it is not convenient for Wang Shouren to reward him for his meritorious service.

Then the reward was given to Wang Hua.

Li Dongyang pondered for a moment and said, "Dehua, don't worry too much. Yesterday the emperor went to Liangxiang to listen to the lectures. He believed that science is good governance and wanted to join the lectures given by the prince when he came out of the cabinet, so he appointed Song Jing as Zhan Shi."

Xie Qian looked over with a question mark on his face, Zhang Sheng looked up blankly, and only Wang Qiong remained calm.
