(The two lakes were omitted in the previous chapter, and they belong to the examination area for the middle list.)
This year's Jinshi hairpin parade was a crowd-pleaser.
Even the number one scholar, Chen Chun, was upstaged by female Jinshi. People in Nanjing stood on the streets and alleys and kept chanting: "Where are the female Jinshis? Where are the female Jinshis?"
Zou Huaiyu held his head high, pulled the reins and walked slowly, bathed in the sound of admiration.
Of course, there are also a few Taoist teachers who secretly lament that the world is declining, and the heck is like a chicken.
There are gains and losses. Zou Huaiyu, who looks like a beautiful woman, is actually hiding a lot of troubles. She was urged to get married by her husband's family just after she graduated from middle school. Every year during the winter and summer vacations of college, her husband's family also kept urging her.
Zou Huaiyu was very unhappy about this, and her husband's family was also extremely dissatisfied with her. However, neither party broke off the engagement, because it was a marriage between two prominent families, and no one wanted to bear the infamy of regretting the marriage.
Her fiancé had already taken a concubine, and she came from a poor family that had failed in business. She also had two orchids, both of whom were coquettish and charming, and they seduced her fiancé all day long.
Now that Zou Huaiyu has become a female Jinshi, she will not dare to regret her marriage. The whole world is watching her. If she dares to regret her marriage, she will be the female version of Chen Shimei, and it will give some people an excuse - you see, I say Qiankun cannot
To put it upside down, if a woman is admitted to the Jinshi exam, she can't even bring her family together, so how can she talk about governing the country and bringing peace to the world?
The first female Jinshi in the new Datong Dynasty must be perfect. Even if her husband is full of all five evils, she will never get divorced in the future.
If you want to wear his crown, you must bear its weight!
The other Jinshi around were unaware of Zou Huaiyu's suffering. While accepting the applause of the people, they quietly looked at Zou Huaiyu. This plain-looking female Jinshi was extremely charming in the eyes of Jinshi in the same department, and they all wanted to make friends with her.
There's something like the posture of stars holding the moon.
There were many school students on the street, and they came in groups to watch.
When these female students saw Zou Huaiyu, their eyes gleamed, and they chased her all the way, throwing flowers at her. Zou Huaiyu was their idol, the brightest star in the dark night, and some female students even laughed and cried on the spot.
.
They didn't know why they were crying, but they just wanted to cry, happy, excited, longing, envious, admiring...all kinds of emotions mixed together.
"Bang bang bang bang!"
Firecrackers went off one after another in the inns, indicating that their guests had passed the Jinshi examination.
The king of Chu, Zhao Kuangping, was a little lonely. He had already moved into the palace of the king of Chu. It was originally the palace of the king of Jin, but the king of Jin went to India, so he conveniently transferred it to the king of Chu.
I was also admitted to Jinshi, but it was a pity that I couldn't wear a hairpin and parade around the streets.
When you become an official, you have to give up your title. This is not a policy formulated for the prince. It is for the future generals of Fengguo and Fuguo. The salary of this kind of clan title is not much, and it is really possible to give up after passing the Jinshi.
Zhao Kuangping didn't know what he should do. He had never thought about the position of prince. Because the prince already had an heir, even if the prince suddenly died of illness, the throne would be inherited by the emperor's grandson.
Lockdown abroad?
Zhao Kuangping could not bear to part with China's prosperity.
To be a naval officer?
Zhao Kuangping is not interested in fighting. He is not the material for either the navy or the army.
After much deliberation, I decided to enter the Hanlin Academy.
To serve as an official in the Hanlin Academy, one does not have to give up his title. As long as he has a university diploma or academic achievements, and with the connections of the King of Chu, he will definitely be able to enter the Hanlin Academy.
Why not enter Qintianyuan? Because Zhao Kuangyi doesn't like science. If you don't like it, you just don't like it, even though his grades in astronomy, physics, and mathematics are very good.
Young people, troubles go away quickly.
Zhao Kuangping left the study and went to have fun with his princess. Both concubines were chosen by him, and without exception they were both talented women.
The princes of the Ming Dynasty had one principal concubine, one secondary concubine, and several concubines. However, only the principal concubine was a concubine, while the secondary concubines were actually concubines. In addition to sounding nice, the secondary concubines might also become step-concubines.
In the new Datong Dynasty, Ji and his wife were cancelled, and the prince only had one main concubine and one side concubine. Children born to other women, unless they can inherit the throne, are not even the children of the Zong family. When they grow up, their salary is a dime.
Don't even think about taking it.
This is to prevent the Zong family from exploding. A prince can give birth to hundreds of children. Who can bear it?
When you get to Zhao Han, the prince's salary is only that little. If you have the ability, such as doing business, it doesn't matter how many women you make to support. But facing the clan house, except for the first concubine and the second concubine, other children
Just common people!
The son born to Princess Chu is already over one year old, and the second concubine is also pregnant.
Zhao Kuangping was quite happy reciting poems and singing lyrics with his two concubines. He had no other women for the time being, but occasionally he felt itchy and wanted to buy an Orchid at home.
During college, Zhao Kuangping was invited to a classmate's house, and he fell in love with Hu Ji at that time. The classmate's father was very discerning and insisted on sending Hu Ji away, but Zhao Kuangping was still living in the palace at the time and beat him to death.
None of them dared to accept it. The classmate's father also said that he could help him raise Orchid, but Zhao Kuangping refused.
Zhao Kuangping still understands this truth.
Now that there is a Chu Palace, buying a Hu Ji is nothing. But the emperor is too stingy, and the salary that the prince can receive is only slightly higher than that of a first-grade official.
With this little money, if you want to buy a high-quality Orchid, you have to save money slowly.
As for ordinary Hu Ji, Zhao Kuangping really doesn't like them. Not to mention buying them with his own money, he doesn't want the ones he picked up for free. They have to be the kind with both talent and beauty.
The second concubine's natal family was in business, so it would be easy for her to ask for money, and her father-in-law even took the initiative to send money. However, Zhao Kuangping had been very strict since he was a child and always felt that this should not be the case. He accepted the small gifts from his father-in-law and rejected all valuable ones.
Zhao Kuangping continued to think about it and thought it was better not to go to the Hanlin Academy.
If he wants to study knowledge, he can obtain information at any time and go to the Hanlin Academy for exchanges at any time. Why must he be trapped in the same unit?
You can do business in partnership with your father-in-law, but this will make the father-in-law unhappy. And the father-in-law is not worried. He has already figured it out after the marriage, so he might be using the King of Chu's name for something.
When he was granted the title of King of Chu, he received a settling-in allowance of one thousand taels of silver.
This thing can be used as principal. The wealthy car industry in Nanjing is rising, and the number is not large. You can definitely open a car dealership. My uncle is doing business in Jiangnan. I asked my uncle to help order a batch of cars. It is easy to obtain a trading license.
After coming down, wouldn’t it be your first career?
His thoughts quickly opened up, and Zhao Kuangping found that it was too easy for him to do business. It was a loophole to allow the clan to do business!
A hundred years later, as long as it doesn't cause anger and resentment, which official will dare to control the prince's business? Relying on his status and connections, he can easily make a fortune.
The imperial court does stipulate that government projects cannot be contracted or subcontracted to the clan. But this thing can take advantage of loopholes and register a few more leather companies, or secretly support White Glove. Isn't it easy to receive government orders?
The more Zhao Kuangping thought about it, the more excited he became. He was also a little scared at the same time, thinking about whether to tell his father.
The next day, Zhao Kuangping ran into the palace and expressed his thoughts.
Zhao Han was extremely satisfied with this, and then smiled and said: "You can see clearly, what would I and the ministers not think of? There is no perfect system, we can only restrict it as much as possible. The clan's illegal business is always less harmful than the common people taking advantage of loopholes.
If you take over the business of the imperial court, if there is no problem, no one will care about it. If there is a problem, you will be stripped of your title! Also, in business related to the army and banks, whoever touches it will die, and the prince will be beheaded!"
Zhao Kuangping shrank his neck when he heard this: "I don't dare."
Zhao Han smiled and said: "Don't think that business is easy. If you are not smart, you will only make money for others, and the people below don't know how to make you lose money. Can you understand the four-legged account?"
Zhao Kuangping nodded and said: "Four-legged accounting is the double-entry accounting method. I learned it in college. However, I am not very proficient in it. I only learned a rough idea."
"It's better to stop running your car dealership. Taking business from small businessmen will bring bad reputation to the King of Chu," Zhao Han said.
Zhao Kuangping thought for a while: "How about I run a magazine? The elegant affairs of literati will not discredit the royal family."
Zhao Han asked: "What kind of magazine do you run? Nowadays, newspapers and magazines are everywhere, and many of them are still losing money to make money. How can you guarantee that you can make money?"
Zhao Kuangping smiled and said: "It's called "The King of Chu's Miscellaneous Magazine". I guess someone bought it."
Zhao Han shook his head: "Relying on the reputation of King Chu, some people may buy the first two issues, but your magazine is not good-looking, and no one will buy it after a few more issues. Which newspapers and magazines sell best?"
Zhao Kuangping said: "Market publications. Nowadays, more and more people are literate, and ordinary people also like to read newspapers. The stories of such market publications are wonderful, and everyone from the rich and powerful to the common people on the streets likes to read them.
.Many scholars who have failed in their studies rely on making up stories to make money, and all of them are very rich."
"Not bad." Zhao Han smiled.
Zhao Kuangping continued: "When the first issue is launched, we first ask for manuscripts from famous novelists. For the sake of the King of Chu, they will definitely be willing to submit manuscripts. After establishing a reputation in the first issue, and then soliciting manuscripts extensively, you will always come across some wonderful novels.
Slowly accumulate regular authors and only publish high-quality products in each issue. It doesn’t matter if it becomes a monthly magazine.”
Saying that, Zhao Kuangping chuckled and said: "My father's "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is wonderfully written. Why don't you write an article for the first issue?"
The first few children are all very close to Zhao Han, and it doesn't matter if they joke around.
Later, there were more princes and princesses, and Zhao Han was also busy with official duties, but they were a bit unfamiliar with each other. The children were more in awe when they saw him.
Zhao Han thought for a moment: "Two stories, I will write the short one, and you can find someone to write the long one yourself."
"Father's story must be interesting." Zhao Kuangping said flatteringly.
Zhao Han also found it interesting and immediately wrote "The Emperor's New Clothes": "In the land of Western Europe, there is a country without a country. The emperor ignores government affairs and only knows how to have fun, and the people are miserable. This king likes to wear new clothes and changes them every day.
Several times, every time a minister came to ask for an audience, the eunuch would always say: 'Your Majesty is changing clothes.' As time went on, the subjects secretly called him the 'Emperor Changing Clothes'. One day, two bachelors came from nowhere..."
Bachelor not only refers to single men and women, but also generally refers to ruffians.
"The Emperor's New Clothes" is not long, so Zhao Hanwen finished it in less than twenty minutes without adding any details.
After reading it, Zhao Kuangping sincerely admired it: "Father, this article is thought-provoking and truly a first-rate story."
It is certainly thought-provoking and can be extended to various interpretations.
Zhao Kuangping's first reaction was that his father was insinuating the Ming Dynasty and Chongzhen.
Zhao Han smiled and said: "I will tell you another story about the female consort, maybe it can be made into an opera..."
