Chapter 108 The Sound of Gongs and Drums and Firecrackers
Chapter 108 The sound of gongs and drums and the blast of firecrackers
Zhu Di was in a good mood, "You brothers, uncles and nephews, if you work together, our Ming Dynasty will become more and more prosperous. I am very happy... Come and drink!"
Zhu Di frequently raised his glass and drank happily. Even Xu Jingchang smiled broadly and looked at Jian Yi, Xia Yuanji and others, "Stop being so grim and have a drink!"
These people swear to God, if Zhu Di hadn't been here, they would have beaten Xu Jingchang to death.
While they were toasting, Jian Yi leaned into Xu Jingchang's ear and whispered: "Dong Guo Gong, you have won, but please be noble and don't kill everyone."
Xu Jingchang said with a bitter face: "I'm sorry, Jian Tianguan, I have already made a plan. Next time, please tell me in advance!"
Jian Yi gritted his molar teeth, making a rattling sound, but there was nothing he could do.
He found that it was a huge mistake to remove Xu Jingchang's political envoy.
Frankly speaking, Xu Jingchang was a political envoy. Although he was hateful, he could still safeguard the interests of civil servants. He stood with the six ministries in dealing with the cabinet and other matters.
Now that he is better, without the constraints of his official position, this boy can completely let himself go.
They were like this, and the common people who looked at the officials being praised were even more excited and greedy... As they were talking, people kept running to the school.
Everything reached its peak on the day when His Royal Highness the Emperor and Grandson praised his official position.
Some parents took their children to see it once and decided to stay.
From then on, Xu Jingchang’s broken things actually had names.
Those who are interested can bring their children here, go to the school to listen to the lectures, pay a little money in the canteen, have lunch, read newspapers and have activities in the afternoon.
After all, it is difficult for ordinary people who make a living by farming fields to have spare money to read newspapers.
In a word, Xu Jingchang made everything look like he was praising his officials in the royal street, but he left some room and did not give people an excuse to attack.
Some people even cast envious glances. These idiots turned out to be disciples of the emperor. If we had known this, we would have come to study. Even if we spend a little money, it would be worth it!
Some smart people simply came over to inquire about the requirements for admission.
But how could Zhu Gaoxu listen to Xu Jingchang? He said in front of Zhu Di that he would spend 50,000 yuan, but it was not him who had the final say on how much he would actually spend.
"Dong Guo, be careful, don't scare the horses."
They are not hereditary nobles like Xu Jingchang, nor are they rich businessmen or officials.
If you want to expand your influence, you need to open up the private market and win public support.
Are you blind?
The second uncle has worked so hard, and the third uncle cannot neglect it... Zhu Gaosui understands very clearly that if a newspaper sells well, it must have a hot spot and continue to attract people.
It's also royally sanctioned.
"Okay, let's go!"
If that's all, then that's it.
If the cloth clothes on his body were replaced by armor, he would be worthy of the imperial troops.
Zhu Gaoxu invited not only dragon and lion dances, but also eighteen kinds of musical instruments and brought them out.
But Zhu Zhanji was not happy at all, "Dad, my second uncle paid for it, and my third uncle gave me the newspaper. What do you, my biological father, say?"
Not to mention it's a fake, even if it's a real one, it's not that lively.
The most expensive thing is the astonishing number of fireworks.
As soon as Xu Jingchang finished speaking, ten firecrackers flew into the sky, exploding in the sky with thunder and thunder!
There is no reason for this.
It is also appropriate to be loyal to our emperor.
But it is a pity that the fire has been lit. How could Xu Jingchang let it go out casually?
When they came out, they were immediately surrounded by many royal guards wearing flying fish uniforms and embroidered spring knives hanging from their waists.
Learn a skill and you can support yourself.
In fact, this is not accurate, because the dress of the groom's official is a fake imitation of the number one scholar. But the number one scholar comes once every three years, but the groom's official appears every day.
What a huge amount of virtue this is!
The school created by Xu Jingchang is entertaining and educational with practical content.
Then everyone saw the next scene... After getting the imperial pen, they immediately made a gold-lettered plaque and hung it at the door of the school.
This operation is absolutely perfect.
Zhu Gaochi couldn't laugh or cry. Of course I know that you are deceiving yourself and others.
And there is another problem, which Zhu Gaosui has already figured out.
So what do citizens care about most?
Zhu Gaosui grasped the mentality of the people and began to publish numerous reports on the school. He also published extra articles and gave them away for free.
Zhu Zhanji clenched his fists in anger, "Father Dog is shameless, just wait!"
When I grow up, I will make you look good!
There was no other way, so Zhu Zhanji put on his royal robes, gold crown and jade belt, and sat on a white horse. He looked so grand, and he actually looked like a son of a dragon.
Without His Majesty's help, these refugees would have died long ago.
If I had known that we were going to help the refugees like this, we would have just been treated as refugees.
The young people who had followed Zhu Zhanji to gain glory all had their faces flushed, and their hearts were pounding! They would never dare to imagine such a big scene in their entire lives.
What's even more interesting is that the school has been opened to the common people.
As soon as he came up, he used a big move, and even if he tried to control it, he had no grip, which made people want to cry without tears.
With the sound as a signal, drums and music were loud, firecrackers were blasting, there were crowds of people, and flags and flags were fluttering.
Xu Jingchang was startled subconsciously. We want to make some noise, but not too loud!
Behind Zhu Zhanji, there were nine students, all of whom were considered the first batch of top students. They did not have the uniforms of emperors and grandsons, but they were all dressed in red and colorful, with pheasant feathers on their heads, just like the bridegroom.
But this time their eyes were open.
Let's not talk about anything else, there are so many high-level imperial guards escorting the emperor and grandson out with great momentum and momentum.
Who can you tell that it is not a guard of honor? Who can believe it?
The fake show is sung for real, and the singing is more real than the real thing.
"I thank Your Majesty, express gratitude for Heaven's grace, and serve my Emperor until death!"
Zhu Gaochi looked full of joy. Anyway, he had never enjoyed this kind of treatment when he was a child.
"My precious son, you showed your face to daddy!" Fatty Zhu hugged Zhu Zhanji, not to mention how happy he was.
What's more, it's a place where the emperor's grandson studies.
By the way, he also became a classmate of Huangsun, which gave him a lot of dignity and respect.
"Okay, don't feel wronged. Dad will lead you out."
As for the Ministry of Rites, if someone pursues it and says that they casually wore the clothes of the No. 1 scholar, Xu Jingchang can reply to them. Our students just wore the clothes of the groom's official. There is no rule against wearing the clothes of the groom's official on the street, right?
Therefore, it is not surprising that misunderstandings arise.
They have some money and some ability to make money, and their lives are better than ordinary people, but they are always worried, fearing that changes will occur, or that their descendants will be dishonest and their family fortune will be ruined.
Didn't Zhu Gaoxu discover that the soil in the toilet can refine Glauber's salt while doing old work?
He has really promoted this business. Now Zhu Gaoxu owns the largest gunpowder factory in Yingtian City and produces the most fireworks. Because of its high quality and low price, it has begun to make a profit.
Zhu Gaochi pulled the horse's reins and led his precious son outside.
But it's not enough!
Zhu Gaoxu will take advantage of this opportunity to shake the world!
He moved out the firecrackers in stock and prepared them along the road. He accompanied Zhu Zhanji over, playing drums and blasting firecrackers, letting the people of Yingtian see our strength!
Many people gave a thumbs up and repaid the kindness. Well done!
Xu Jingchang's school was initially just to gather the refugees and find them a place to live and learn some skills so that they would not starve.
So they are willing to spend money on education and invest in the next generation.
Therefore, if you want to set up a Yingtian Poetry Newspaper, scholarly talk, etc... I'm sorry, it can only be limited to Shilin. Although there are many scholars in Yingtian City, there are always limits.
Liu Shangshu is also full of grievances. Don't blame me. The Ministry of Household Affairs has given money. What did they do? Xia Shangshu doesn't know?
Therefore, someone had already taken out cotton, plugged the ears of Zhu Zhanji's horse, and put a layer over its eyes, and just let people hold it.
For something like a newspaper, you pursue circulation. The more you sell, the more you earn.
Zhu Gaoxu smiled and said: "Don't worry, I know what's going on! I won't give up until the sky explodes in Yingtian!"
Xu Jingchang actually hid a troop of troops under the nose of the capital?
What on earth are the people in the Ministry of War doing?
Liu Jun!
"I say Hanwang, these people are all your talents... How big your business can be in the future depends on this time."
In that case, he would probably have to get out of Yingtian.
And what makes people want to cry even more is yet to come... After the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet was over, Zhu Di wrote an inscription in his handwriting: The best private school in the world, and he was sent to the school.
There was a turmoil in the capital...everyone was talking a lot.
Xu Jingchang had a smile on his face, "Your Highness, let me make it clear to you that this is not a guard of honor for the emperor's grandson. It's just that this time the matter is special. In order to ensure nothing goes wrong, Jin Yiwei will take over Ying Tianfu and be responsible for security. Do you know that?"
Xu Jingchang nodded repeatedly, and he did not dare to be careless.
Then ask Your Majesty to write one for you too!
Anyway, even if you are an official, you can't stipulate that the emperor is not allowed to inscribe private schools, right?
Is there such a good thing?
It is too difficult to pass the imperial examination and become a Jinshi, and the chances are slim. Why not come to this No. 1 private school in the world to have a look...
Then you saw thousands of students inside, dressed in neat clothes, walking out with sonorous steps.
The students roared over and over again with great force, attracting countless people watching the excitement.
Are you not convinced?
A long queue formed to pay homage to Yubi.
But this Cai'er was for his son, and Zhu Gaochi couldn't say anything.
It can only be regarded as a small bustle in Yingtian City, and the discussion ended after a few words.
Zhu Gaochi rolled his eyelids, "You brat, I gave birth to you, why are you still not satisfied? If you dare to ask for benefits from your father, be careful I spank you!"
In people's imagination, this place is no different from a ruined temple. The people inside are all beggars and homeless people. They are in ragged clothes, with sallow complexion and thin skin. They are as pitiful as they can be.
On the other side, after all the students paid homage to the imperial brush, they all knelt down to Zhu Di's imperial brush.
The courtiers complained to each other and cursed each other in anger.
For those traditional private schools, it is simply a dimensionality reduction blow.
These young people are cleanly and neatly dressed, with tall and strong bodies and neat steps.
Note that we are talking about citizens here, not farmers.
We also want to be Huangsun’s classmates!
"Give them two ounces of color, and you can open a dyeing workshop." Zhu Di looked down at the restaurant, and suddenly he found that today's firecrackers were particularly loud.
"Young Master, did the second child do this?"
Yao Guangxiao nodded, "It's true. Your Highness, the King of Han, is indeed extraordinary. His children and grandchildren are all talented. This is a great joy for His Majesty."
