You can’t be careless about internal affairs. Zhu Xiongying knew this. It was a goal to enrich the people and strengthen the country. His pursuit was not just the so-called prosperity in the Song Dynasty, but he was beaten everywhere. What he pursued was the prosperous Tang Dynasty and the strong Han Dynasty.

/p>

Yan Zhenzhi is now in Guanzhong. The left assistant minister of the Ministry of Works, who is extremely optimistic by Zhu Xiongying and valued by Lao Zhu and Zhu Biao, will sooner or later go further, but now he can only prepare for the construction of the capital in Guanzhong.

Zhu Xiongying was also a little helpless, and it was hard to find talents. Yan Zhenzhi, who was extremely good at managing large projects, was definitely a rare talent. Otherwise, he could also entrust important tasks to build water conservancy and other projects.

/p>

The cement matter is urgent, but the productivity is too limited now.

At this stage, even if we start mass production of cement, most of them are either used to build capitals or build cities in frontiers, or even used as construction of imperial tombs.

These are all things that cannot be done. Infrastructure is indeed too expensive, and it is indeed extremely resource-intensive. Even though the Ming Dynasty is becoming stronger and stronger, it does not happen overnight. Many things can only be done step by step.

Zhu Yunxiu is back, and he is very happy to see Zhu Xiongying, "Brother, I'm back!"

Looking at his younger brother, Zhu Xiongying said with a smile, "It's better, I'll look better when I go back to my hometown and look at it."

"I'm not the fifth uncle, I'll take me to fish all day long." Zhu Yunxiu said with complaints, "If I really say it, let Uncle Wu farm in his hometown. I'll be content with him and his cousin Tiezhu.

I am happy, either fishing or catching shrimps, I am afraid I am a little overjoyed."

If you are happy, you will definitely not be able to do so. Zhu Xu will definitely want to go back to Kaifeng. You can't farm in your hometown.

As for Zhu Shouqian, he must not be able to return to Guilin, so he can only be a rich man in his hometown. Fortunately, his son Zhu Zanyi is pretty good. Now he is more responsible and motivated, and his character should be fine. Jingjiang

The king's title is kept for him.

Zhu Xiongying asked curiously, "Where is Uncle Fifth? Didn't you say that you will come and see me?"

"Kneeling in Fengxian Hall!" Zhu Yunxiu became gloating, "As soon as he came back, I went to see the emperor's grandfather first, and he also went there. I'm fine, but the fifth uncle scolded him so much. The emperor's grandmother asked him to go

When Fengxian Hall was kneeling, the fifth uncle had to go."

Hearing this, Zhu Xiongying burst into laughter. Although Zhu Xiong was now on the verge of surprise, it seemed that the emperor and the empress were relieved. However, the ones that should be beaten should be beaten, so as not to make some mistakes again.

Think about it, my fifth uncle is really not a good-looking person. He kept sending letters from the general and leaving the fief without authorization. If he met the emperor and the prince who were seriously ill, he would really be in trouble.

Of course, Lao Zhu's suspicion is still very serious. Lao Zhu just couldn't bear to take ruthless measures against his son.

"You go back and have a rest. Your elder sister is going to get married in a few days." Zhu Xiongying said, and he became depressed, "It's all about to get married, it's a mess!"

Zhu Yunxiu didn't want to complain anymore. The emperor's brother not only got married, but he had children. If you really want to say it, the eldest sister has not gotten married yet, and the emperor's brother keeps stopping her. Don't say that women from ordinary families are now.

At the age of seventeen or eighteen, many people get married even at the age of threeteen or fourteen.

The eldest sister, but she is only one year younger than the emperor, and her second sister is only two years younger than the emperor, so she should have gotten married long ago.

However, Zhu Yunxiu only complains in his heart at most, and he dare not really say it out.

Thinking of something, Zhu Xiongying asked, "In a few days, go to my grandmother's side. She is old. If she doesn't have any money on her body, I'll give it to you."

Zhu Yunqiu naturally agreed, but then said, "Brother, I met Duke Xin when I returned to Fengyang this time. His appearance didn't look great."

Tang Hedu is 65 years old. He wanted to retire and return home many years ago. He was the real retirement and return home the year before. However, he came to Fengyang in the first month of last year and was infected with wind disease and lost his language ability. He finally managed to recover.

A little bit.

Zhu Xiongying sighed, not knowing what to say. Although his age is not considered a long life in this era, he is indeed not young. If he thinks about it, Old Zhu is still sixty-three, but he still hasn't.

I'm busy with the government day and night, and it's hard to rest. I'm afraid there's no end to such days.

Zhu Xiongying nodded, and naturally even knew about these things. Everyone knew that although Tang He had saved him, he could die at any time based on his current health. The court even did it.

Have some preparations.

After all, Zhu Xiongying also knew that Lao Zhu actually prepared a posthumous title for Tang He. Even if Tang He's military achievements were not the most outstanding among the founding heroes, he was Lao Zhu's absolute confidant, and he was also the king after his death.

No problem.

After Zhu Yunxiong left Wenyuan Pavilion, Zhu Xiongying didn't think much about it and walked towards Wenhua Palace.

Seeing Zhu Xiongying coming, Zhu Biao smiled and said, "In a few days of examination, I mean to let you be the chief examiner."

Zhu Xiongying was stunned for a moment, and he didn't understand it very much, "Dad, I'm afraid the person who is the chief examiner of the exam has already been decided? Besides, I'm just a shallow writer, so I'm afraid I'm not very good at asking me to take the chief examiner.

Suitable."

Zhu Biao looked at his son who was pretending to be confused and said unhappy, "If you have a great literary talent, you can be the chief examiner? There are so many beautiful articles in the Hanlin Academy. Are you waiting to be picked?

Prince Royal, if you become the chief examiner, the students in this subject will probably jump up."

Zhu Xiongying knew that he couldn't escape this, so he laughed, "That's true. If he passed the exam, everyone would think of going to the examiner to recognize a teacher. If I were the examiner, I would be comparable.

Ordinary ministers are much stronger. If you recognize me as a teacher, they will be blessed."

Zhu Biao also thought so, and he didn't think that Zhu Xiongying was boasting, this is the fact.

Generally speaking, after the exam, it is a tribute. According to the custom of the Ming Dynasty, tributes will basically not fail the exam. If they pass the exam, they will become a new Jinshi. This is the real gold list title and step.

Entering the official career.

These Jinshi are also very smart and will choose to recognize the chief examiner as the teacher and find a support in the court. After all, the chief examiner's grade will not be low. Moreover, these Jinshi are basically classmates, and Jinshi in the same subject are mostly used to group together.

It is also because of the palace examination that the emperor is the chief examiner in name. These Jinshi are not vague, and it is not wrong to call themselves the disciples of the emperor.

This subject in the 24th year of Hongwu was different. The imperial grandson was the chief examiner. The weight of this teacher was extremely important, countless times stronger than that of the six ministers. If you pass the palace examination, it would mean the name of the emperor's disciple.

There is also a head. If the crown prince ascends the position of Dabao in the future, the Jinshi in this subject will be excited, and then it will be considered a "half-teacher friendship".

No one is sure whether the students in this subject are the most talented. But as far as the current situation is concerned, once Zhu Xiongying becomes the examiner, it means that the students in this subject are born than other subjects.

The students need to be much more brilliant.

These things seem mysterious, but they are indeed more useful in official careers. Sometimes students represent their origins and positions, and represent the objects they are loyal to. This is a natural group.

Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Xiongying and was quite satisfied, "I am a father after all, and my mind is much calmer."

"I can't hide, so why not just continue." Zhu Xiongying said half-truely, "This has been stuffed into my hands. Now I'm asking me to take the lead exam again, just because I'm worried that my literary name is weak.

How!"

Zhu Biao smiled happily, "It's good to know! I know that my literary reputation is shallow, so I'll think of a way to get some reputation. I can't just wander around the pile of martial arts all day long. Those people can help you manage your troops.

Can you help you govern the world?"

Zhu Xiongying really wanted to complain, "Dad, I really don't just know how to wander around the martial arts crowd. I have done a lot of things over the years. I think it's mostly because my mother comes from Kaiping Palace, and outsiders think I'm

Only get close to martial arts!"

"Don't rely on these things on my mother!" Zhu Biao laughed and scolded, "If you really have the will, you will have more contact with civil officials. No one has ever said about your origin, but the things you did, which makes people feel that

You are just close to martial arts."

Zhu Xiongying smiled because he knew that what Zhu Biao said was also very reasonable. Origin can indeed represent many things, but some changes or development of ideas mainly depend on actions.

It is no secret that the crown prince of the emperor seems to have been too close to Wu Xun over the years. Judging from the performance of the crown prince over the years, he really despises civil servants, as if he really doesn't plan to have more contact with them.

.

In the past, Zhu Xiongying was young, and many people didn’t think there was any problem, and at most they were just anxious. However, Zhu Xiongying now has an increasingly powerful influence in the court and is doing more and more things, which means he has to do martial arts.

The reputation needs to be changed.

Becoming the chief examiner is nothing, just like the Northern Expedition in the past few years. Many things really don’t need to be done by him, just like the nominal general, the chief examiner, the deputy general, the deputy examiner, etc., are the things that can do.

.

It is impossible to really expect Zhu Xiongying to mark the papers. If it happens in necessary occasions, these are enough. Such performances are enough to make most of the credits taken into his name, and no one thinks there is anything

No.

It doesn't matter if you have multiple jobs, mainly because some of Zhu Xiongying's work seems tedious, but it doesn't consume too much time.

Another reason is that there are a lot of people under your command to help with things, so there is nothing to worry about.

After confirming another position, Zhu Xiongying asked, "I plan to go and see the other side of Uncle Fifth, can it work?"

"You go see your fifth uncle, can someone stop you?" Zhu Biao said with a smile, "Among your uncles, you have the best relationship with your fifth uncle, and your second uncle is not happy.

.”

Zhu Xiongying was justified, "Uncle Wu has a good temperament. I am not talking bad things about my elders. Uncle Wu is simpler and not tired of talking to him. Besides, I don't plan to be a playboy, but I heard from him when Uncle Wu's little life

I also find it interesting."

Zhu Biao smiled and shook his head. After all, it was just that the fifth brother was unreliable and he didn't look like an elder. It was normal for him to like to interact with him.

As for the other younger brothers, Zhu Biao felt helpless. Just like the Twelve-Two, they seemed to be about the same age as the hero, they were playmates, but their son was precocious and could not play with those, so there was nothing they could do.

Things.

Zhu Xiongying also spoke again, "How is the Duke Xin Guo?"

Zhu Biao sighed and said, "I can't speak well and I'm weak. I think I'm old.":

These things can only be done to leave their fate. Birth, old age, sickness and death are really not something that human power can change. Even if you are the emperor, the prince or the grandson cannot be spared, and the same is true for the princes and marquis, etc.

Zhu Xiongying didn't say much about this, just be able to have a little idea. After all, Tang He has retired and returned to his hometown, and his influence in the court is getting smaller and smaller.

In fact, if it weren't for the deep friendship between Lao Zhu and Tang He, then he wouldn't have attached so much importance to it.

Since there is nothing to continue discussing here, Zhu Xiongying walked towards Fengxian Palace and chatted with Uncle Wu.
