The beauty waited quietly, Zhu Zhanchen walked in slowly, and Li Xianyu got off the swing with a small jump, standing pretty with his hands behind his back.
"Why didn't you go out to meet me today?"
"I'm afraid that meeting a noble lady in your palace will offend others and put your highness in trouble."
Is this my considerate little secretary?
"I didn't bring her here."
"Your Highness, did you miss me?"
"Think about it, if I didn't want to, why would I try my best to see you."
Li Xianyu blushed shyly.
Zhu Zhanzhen saw the books and papers on her desk, opened them and took a look. They were all about steam engines, and the words were supplemented by paintings.
"Your Highness, for the task you assigned me last time, I recorded the craftsmen's questions and opinions. Your Highness also took a lot of notes on the principles of how everything works, and I also copied them down."
"Well, that's fine, but these things won't be spread out, right?" Zhu Zhanzhen asked tentatively, looking down at the drawings without letting Li Xianyu see his expression.
"It's rumored that Your Highness doesn't believe me?"
"How could that be? I'm afraid there might be some bad people living here, so you have to be careful."
"Don't worry, Your Highness, the house is very safe, and why does Your Highness need these things?"
"Open a school, or a university."
"University?" Li Xianyu obviously couldn't understand.
Zhu Zhanzhen didn't want to say much now, because he needed more things for college, at least until the steam engine was officially ready for use. His lazy temper was forced here to only have four days a week to rest.
I originally thought about traveling through time and becoming a prince, fishing six days a week, but suddenly missing two days, which really violated my innocent heart of fishing.
Looking at the booklets with detailed records, Zhu Zhanzhen was quite satisfied. From now on, they will be used as textbooks in universities. Of course, he remembers that they are actually knowledge from junior high school, and more profound knowledge can only be studied bit by bit later.
Zhu Zhanchen had been busy all morning. He felt a little tired just after lunch, so he lay down on the bed.
"I'm a little tired. Let's take a nap."
Li Xianyu took off Zhu Zhanzhen's shoes: "Your Highness, let me give you a massage."
Zhu Zhanyi lay on Li Xianyu's lap, and Li Xianyu pressed him gently. Perhaps Zhu Zhanyi was really tired and fell asleep after a while.
Li Xianyu was careful not to move, so he kept him lying on his lap.
Zhu Zhanzhen, who was not sleeping well, drooled a lot. Li Xianyu was wearing silk clothes, and his warm saliva soon penetrated the thin silk.
Li Xianyu could feel the flow of liquid, and the touch of it sliding over his skin made Li Xianyu suppress his blush.
Whether it is a large river or a small stream, it always changes its direction of flow as the terrain changes, flowing towards lower valleys.
This is common knowledge in geography, and good car mechanics also have some knowledge of geography.
In the autumn afternoon, the leaves turned yellow and scattered in the wind, and the temperature was a little cold. Zhu Zhanzhen woke up with a shiver after sleeping for an hour.
"Your Highness, are you cold?"
The dazed Zhu Zhanzhen wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth: "How long have I slept?"
"About an hour."
Finding that Li Xianyu still maintained the same appearance as before going to bed, Zhu Zhanzhen asked rather embarrassedly: "Have you never moved in this position?"
"Um."
Li Xianyu nodded.
"Thank you for holding on for so long."
"Your Majesty, it will be good if you sleep comfortably."
Zhu Zhanzhen enjoyed spending time with Li Xianyu very much. Her understanding and thoughtfulness were really lovable, but she couldn't stay here forever.
"I have to leave first. I have to come see you next time."
Zhu Zhanzhen woke up and was about to leave. Li Xianyu looked a little lonely, but he forced a smile: "Your Highness, please put on more clothes, the weather outside is getting colder again."
"No need, I'm young and strong."
After bidding farewell to Li Xianyu, Zhu Zhanyi went to the main hall to find Zheng He, but Zheng He had already entered the palace at this time, so Zhu Zhanyi got on the carriage and returned to the palace.
After waiting outside for so long, Chu'er naturally knew that His Highness had gone to find the steward he had met before.
Even though she was just a servant maid, from the bottom of her heart Chu Er looked down on these women who had to make a living in the romantic world.
"Your Highness, if the Crown Princess finds out about the girl you are raising in Zheng He's residence, I'm afraid..."
"You dare to interfere with my affairs now."
"Chu'er doesn't dare. Your Highness forgives me."
Seeing Chu'er kneeling down, Zhu Zhanchen shook his head helplessly: "Get up, don't talk too much about some things, I have my own plans."
"Chu'er understands."
After returning to the palace, Zhu Zhanzhen went to Zhu Zhanji immediately and handed the book "Basic Circulation Strategies of Currency and Silver" written by Zhao Quan to Zhu Zhanji.
Since Sun Ruowei was imprisoned, Zhu Zhanji is now more diligent. He knows that only by working harder can Sun Ruowei be released as soon as possible.
Of course, there is also the reason that now I can focus all my energy on work.
After Zhu Zhanji finished reading, he handed the book to Ma Xiang and the others to read.
"The writing is good, everything in it is his summary, and he does have some skills." Zhu Zhanji cannot give a businessman too high a rating.
Ma Xiang and others also strongly agree with Zhao Quan's views in the book.
"Brother, I want him to be in charge of ICBC."
"No." Zhu Zhanzhen expressed his attitude very calmly but firmly.
"Why?"
"He belongs to his second uncle and his third uncle." Zhu Zhanzhen said this without shying away from the presence of Ma Xiang, Wang Botong, and Wang An, which also meant that Taisun had officially classified the three of them as his subordinates.
Zhu Zhanzhen also knew that this was Zhu Zhanji's concern, and this concern was very reasonable. He would not hesitate to employ people and not use those who doubted him.
Of course, in addition to this reason, it is also because Zhu Zhanji doesn't like the profit-seeking villainy of businessmen like Zhao Quan.
It’s just that businessmen are also merchants of Ming Dynasty, and ordinary people in the market are also common people of Ming Dynasty.
"Brother, when hiring people, we must have confidence in our banking system. Whether it is businessmen, workers, or farmers, as long as they meet the standards, we can let them participate and make the bank bigger and stronger.
Create brilliance.”
A few words cannot change Zhu Zhanji's mentality and stance.
"The Central Bank of the Ming Dynasty will be established next month. Next to the headquarters of the Imperial Palace, all the personnel of the central bank will be under the responsibility of the Accounts Department. First, the warehouse currently under the Accounts Department will be converted into a warehouse for issuing food stamps. As for other banks, they will select people and then start.
.”
Nothing should be done too hastily. Zhu Zhanzhen understood that there was nothing wrong with Zhu Zhanji's approach, and Zhao Quan's matter could only be kept secret for now.
However, Ma Xiang stood up at this time: "Your Highness, although this Zhao Quan is a businessman, what is written in the book are all business methods. He also has some status and connections in the business world of Yingtian Mansion. He can use them.
He will make preliminary preparations first and cooperate with us in the work of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China. It is good for someone to take the trouble to do things for His Highness."
Zhu Zhanji thought for a while and looked at Zhu Zhanzhen, and nodded: "You can let him try it first. If he does well, he can be given a position. The court wants useful people, but if it is found that he has something
Remember to report anything that goes wrong.”
Zhu Zhanji took Zhu Zhanchen alone to a deserted place and whispered: "Fifth brother, you don't have much contact with the second uncle. The second uncle doesn't have any good habits."
Zhu Zhanyi felt helpless. As expected, the royal family was always on the chain of suspicion no matter what happened. If he were not a brother of the same mother, Zhu Zhanji would probably not even remind Zhu Zhanyi, simply because he had a good relationship with his second uncle.
Kicked out of my own network.
"Brother, my second uncle and I have a good relationship. It's my father's wish."
