Just as Neverskoy was planning to observe the so-called Mulan autumn winds up close, Zhu Jishi had already arrived from Beijing from the ground. This time he went north, and he brought more than ten concubines alone.

—He estimated that he would stay in Beijing for a year or two, on the one hand, to command the war with Tsarist Russia and the remaining forces of the Qing Dynasty nearby; on the other hand, to strengthen Zhu Ming's rule in North China. So almost all the court followed Beijing.

Half of Yingtian's palace also came with him. In the plan, Luo Xiangmei, the Queen of Shuge and Tokugawa Akiko, who are now staying in Yingtian, will also come north to meet Zhu Jishi in a few months.

There were many people coming, so the team entering Beijing was very large, and with the guards, there were enough 20,000 to 30,000. However, Emperor Zhu himself, Concubine Maria and Mrs. Duran were not among them. They had already brought a few guards and were light cars and simply followed.

After going to Beijing first, the emperor wanted to appreciate the true appearance of Sijiu City after exhaustion.

Zhu Jishi lifted the curtain of the car and looked out the car. The streets were full of vendors selling various snacks, including Shandong burritos, Henan braised cookies, Dezhou donkey meat, and Tianjin Wei big fried dough sticks.

Legend has the legendary donkey rolling, fried liver, scorched circle, honey three-knife, pea yellow, sacchima and so on.

The hawking sound of high and low voices lingered in my ears, but it was not a good Beijing film... This city of bannermen has suffered an unprecedented catastrophe! Not only has the original residents disappeared, but even the new immigrants are

Very limited, only Zhengyangmen Street is still popular. When the carriage drove into Zhengyangmen, Emperor Zhu immediately felt a sad and vicissitudes of life. The color of the inner city was gray. The streets were bumpy and there were still shells hit.

The crater! The houses on both sides of the street are all deep-walled courtyards. The people who lived here were all important bannermen - Han people are generally not allowed to buy property in the inner city. Now these properties are taken for themselves by Emperor Zhu!

But they are all prime locations within the Second Ring Road in Beijing! They are worth at least a few trillion in the future, but now they are just a "ghost city" without popularity! Well, ghost cities are all out of Beijing's second Ring Road, this real estate in the Ming Dynasty

The business is really a bit depressed.

The convoy turned a few bays in the inner city of Beijing and followed the walls of the Forbidden City... No, it is not called the Forbidden City now, but Shuntian Forbidden City. In theory, it is the same as Yingtian Forbidden City. It is also the emperor's residence. However, there is no female official here.

There is only one Shuntian Forbidden City Management Department under the Beijing Left-behind Mansion, which is responsible for the management. He spends Emperor Zhu and 200,000 silver dollars every year to repair the palace. This is probably because the cabinet is unwilling to take over the palace gardens left by the Qing Palace.

The reason is too expensive and useless. Emperor Zhu now spends more than 1.5 million yuan on the maintenance of these vacant palaces and gardens every year, and he also has to spend the same amount of money to maintain and repair a lot.

Pile the imperial tombs of the Ming Dynasty.

This emperor is really not something that poor people can be!

Zhu Jishi yawned, and he didn't sleep well last night. Today is the first time he has entered the "capital of the great motherland" in his life. Although Beijing was not ravaged by his army, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom can go this far.

, He made a great contribution. There is always a little bit of guilt.

So Emperor Zhu called Maria and Mrs. Duran into the dormitory together to discuss with them the way to revive Beijing, but the two French girls misunderstood what he meant. They danced erotic dance as soon as they entered the room! Especially Maria's one

The good devilish figure recovered after childbirth was so fatal to Emperor Zhu. As a result, the serious economic development discussion was changed to riding a ocean horse...

The car was winding forward, bypassing the Forbidden City, and then along the North Sea and Shichahai, walking through a large number of palaces and palaces, and finally leaving the city from Deshengmen. The destination of this trip, the Old Summer Palace, is located in the northwest of Beijing City.

If Emperor Zhu's time travel has brought any benefits to Beijing City so far, it is probably that this Old Summer Palace has been preserved in a relatively well-behaved manner.

"Do you have any ideas? Dear lady." Zhu Jishi lowered the curtains of the car and asked casually.

"Jason, you are probably the monarch with the most palaces in the world. Can you give me one?" Mrs. Duran looked at Zhu Jishi with a smile.

"No problem, as long as you can afford it." Zhu Jishi shrugged. "Maria, do you want one?"

"No," Maria shook her head, "These palaces and gardens are precious treasures, and giving them to me is a total waste, and I will not live there at all. I think I can use them to open some universities and colleges. Maybe we can build Beijing into

The capital of education in the empire.”

"This idea is good, at least the campus is ready-made." Zhu Jishi nodded with a smile. Maria's mind was really smart. "Hundreds of royal palaces can be used for use, and she can save tens of millions of silver dollars.

To be honest, it’s really expensive to run an education. Maria, Roman, are you two interested in investing in several universities?”

Education is indeed a very expensive business. Zhu Jishi's Royal Education Group has invested in 4 universities and 19 colleges. Although all of them charge tuition fees, it still needs to be posted in two or three million to maintain operation every year. This has not been calculated yet.

School opening costs.

In addition, the Ministry of Education of the Ming Dynasty has also established an education college in each of the sixteen provinces in the Han area and Liaodong over the years. It also plans to open a college equivalent to a middle school in each prefecture and a primary school in each county.

The funding is also astronomical. But even if these academies and primary schools are all built, the modern education of the entire Ming Dynasty is still in its infancy. Moreover, with the great reform of the imperial examination system and the rise of rapid vocational education such as New Oriental and Lanxiang, it has become a thousand

Tens of thousands of "overage scholars" have chosen a more decent teacher profession and have begun to receive two-year primary school teachers or three-year college teachers' quick education. Two or three years later, the lack of new-style education teachers should be extremely successful.

It has been greatly alleviated, but the Ming Dynasty's finances were not abundant, so how much education funds could it be used? Although Zhu Jishi had money, there were many places to spend money, so they could not be used to run education, right? So Zhu Jishi thought

I want to find a wealthy person from the Ming Dynasty to get sponsorship. It just so happens that Maria and Mrs. Duran are both rich women, so let's start with them first.

"Okay, I..." Mrs. Duran was quite ready to agree. She couldn't have children, and the huge amount of property she owned was not inherited by her children. In the end, it was not all of them belonged to the Royal Family of Zhu Ming and her sister Earl Deneuve.

Taking some out to run a university is also a good thing for celebrities to record history.

"Wait," Maria pulled Madame Duran's sleeve and looked at Emperor Zhu with a smile, "My Majesty, there is no free lunch in the world, so we can't expect us to pay for you to run a university for free."

"Well, Maria, what do you want?" Zhu Jishi looked at his beloved concubine with a strange look and whispered, "I already dote on you and Roman..."

Maria smiled sweetly: "Dear, this matter cannot be considered a reward, because you enjoy it too." She paused and said, "I think Roman needs a title. She is not your concubine.

There are no noble titles now... Donating a university should contribute no less to the Ming Dynasty than commanding the army to occupy a city. Your Majesty, you should give us one title, a marquis or a duchess."

Using school to get a title? This idea sounds very good!

"Maria, you are such a genius, why didn't I expect it?" Zhu Jishi suddenly laughed happily, "Now there are so many rich people in the Ming Dynasty who don't have any titles or official titles. I think there will definitely be someone willing to donate funds for school management in exchange for titles.

.Donate one thousand yuan at a time to get a lord, donate one thousand yuan at a time to get a baron, donate one hundred thousand yuan at a time to get a primary school operation fund, get a viscount title, donate three hundred thousand yuan to set up a college operation fund, get a Count title

Donating millions to establish a university operation fund can get the title of Marquis. Of course, these titles do not include annuities and land, but they can become noble members of the Constitutional Assembly. Maria, Roman, what kind of title do you want to get?"
