Zhu Jianji stood up and said, "Let's go to the Hanlin Academy."
The Hanlin Academy is a group of scholars.
There are many official positions.
There is one Hanlin bachelor of the fifth rank, two attendant bachelors of the fifth rank, and two assistant lecturers. There are two ministers and lecturers of the sixth rank, three compilers of the sixth rank, and four compilers of the seventh rank.
Among them, there are four people from the seventh grade who are reviewing, nine people from the eighth grade who are doctors of the Five Classics, two people who are from the eighth grade of classics, two people who are from the ninth grade as servants, and six people who are from the ninth grade who are waiting for edicts.
There are also a large number of Jinshi who study in the Hanlin Academy and are called Shujishi.
The existence of Shujishi is because after the imperial examination every year, there are only so many radish pits in the local government, but new Jinshi can't let them go, so they send them to the Hanlin Academy to continue their studies. When there is a vacancy in the place, they will be sent to fill the vacancy.
Don't look at the low official positions of these scholars.
Important ministers below the rank of Jiuqing are willing to treat them with courtesy when they meet them.
Because you never know when they will become famous.
The prince arrived.
All the scholars in the Hanlin Academy were greatly surprised and immediately overjoyed. Everyone knew that the prince was frantically expanding the power of the Eastern Palace, not to force the palace to ascend the throne, but to have great ambitions.
The sudden arrival of Prince Jingtai meant that there would be an olive branch coming from the East Palace.
In the lobby, Zhu Jianji looked down at the kneeling Hanlin officials with a golden sword, and suddenly he understood Tang Taizong's words about the joy of having all the scholars in the world fall into the trap.
No wonder, from ancient times to the present, everyone wants to be a leader.
I said no courtesy.
When many scholars stood up, Zhu Jianji took out a piece of rice paper without raising his head and said, "The common scholar Wan Shantang, the common scholar Zhao Chuanjia, the Hanlin compiler Lu Feifan, the classics Zhu Bi, Zhang Shang will be ordered to stay, and the rest of the Qing family...
…Well, if there are those who are good at alchemy and like to research new things, you can also ask me to stay."
The five people named were secretly excited.
The others left sadly.
As for the conditions His Highness added, no one is suitable.
Things like refining alchemy are not a serious occupation for scholars, so how can they do it?
However, the few people His Highness named do have some special hobbies in their daily lives.
Shu Ji Shi Wan Shan Tang, it is said that before the imperial examination, he studied with the descendant of Lu Ban, learned the strange and obscene skills, and was very addicted to it. The purpose of his imperial examination was actually to be able to serve as a military inspector after passing the imperial examination and have the opportunity to study gunpowder.
Zhao Chuanjia, a commoner, came from a truly poor family. His grandfather and father were both workers in the Ming Dynasty government-run steelmaking workshop. Zhao Chuanjia grew up in the workshop and had a strange affection for steel.
Lu Feifan, the editor of the Hanlin Academy, was a son of a noble family. He was well-read and was especially interested in rare and rare books. He was a serious bookworm. When he had nothing to do, he would sit in front of the window of his official room and look at the cherry tree in the yard in a daze.
Lu Feifan and Wan Shan Tang were closer because Wan Shan Tang had studied under the descendant of Lu Ban and had a certain skill.
Classics Zhu Bi is a legendary figure.
It is said that when he was young and dull, he flew a kite on a rainy day and was struck by lightning. Instead of dying, he became enlightened and rushed to Gyeonggi Province to take part in the imperial examination. He became a blockbuster and became a Jinshi.
Zhang Sang was also a strange man. His family was a wealthy businessman from the south of the Yangtze River and he had a great fortune. However, he was a good-natured man. Because his father was bloated and the sedan bearers were very tired, Zhang Sang couldn't bear it and actually tried to build a self-driving car.
The sedan comes out.
Well, it failed as expected.
When Lao Zhu gave the list yesterday, Zhu Jianji had already learned about these people in detail. After looking at the information, he raised his head and asked Wan Shan Tang, "The name of your eldest son is Wan Hu?"
There are not many people named Wan.
In the Ming Dynasty, there were even fewer people named Wanhu.
Such a coincidence, Wan Shantang is a Jinshi, then his son Wan Hu will most likely be a local official in the future. In this case, it seems that he can match a historical figure.
Thousands of households!
Ten thousand households flying into the sky.
In the 19th year of Chenghua, there was a rich boy named Wanhu who was familiar with poetry and books but did not take part in the imperial examination.
He wants to fly to the moon!
He held two large kites and sat on a serpentine with forty-seven rockets tied to them. He ordered his servants to light the rockets. The servants advised him that this was dangerous.
Tens of thousands of households looked up to the sky and laughed, saying that flying to the sky has been my long-cherished wish for thousands of years. Even if I am shattered to pieces and my blood is splashed across the sky, I will still open a way for future generations to explore the sky.
The ending can be imagined.
Wanhu has indeed taken off.
Then he fell down.
Wanhu Feitian was the first lunar exploration in human history, so in the 1970s, the International Astronomical Union named a crater on the back of the moon Wanhu.
Wan Shan Tang was startled, "I have no second thoughts. I am named Wan Hu because I hope that the dog will bring blessings to Wan households in the future."
Wanhu is an official name.
Only available outside the customs.
Zhu Jianji hummed, "Don't be nervous."
Looking at everyone, "I have an errand here that can use your hobbies and skills. There is a problem. I am doing personal things, so you will not have any changes in your official position. The good news is that you can get double the salary."
Salary.”
The five people looked at each other.
Official weapons are for private use, His Highness's calculation was a bit shrewd.
Zhu Jianji continued: "Zhu Bi, you were struck by lightning and survived when you were young, but you still remember that feeling. I will give you a chance now. Once this is done, the thunder and lightning that could not kill you will be able to wait for me."
Take control.”
Control thunder and lightning?
Zhu Bi's eyes suddenly lit up. There may be no one in the world who understands thunder and lightning better than him.
It is embarrassing to say that when he flew a kite on a rainy day, it was actually a cool and overcast day. He took his childhood sweetheart cousin to go for an outing, and the naughty thing in his heart was just something between men and women.
I never expected to be struck by lightning.
Fortunately, my cousin is beautiful and gentle.
Zhu Bi hesitated for a moment and said, "I am willing to devote my whole life to Your Highness."
Zhu Jianji looked at Zhao Chuanjia, "You have a strange feeling for steel. I want you to make the most special kind of steel that has never been seen in history. Are you willing to go?"
Zhao Chuanjia smiled and said, "Okay!"
With the remaining three people, Zhu Jianji did not ask for advice and directly issued an order: "His Majesty's decree, Shujishi Wan Shantang goes to the East Palace Military Research Institute to be responsible for the gunpowder research and development project and compile Lu Fei. Zhang Shang will be sent to the Academy of Engineering of the Ministry of Industry.
I have already designated the specific official position and will report to Hang Min, Minister of Industry, immediately."
He stood up and said, "Zhu Bi, Zhao Chuanjia, you two will go to the East Palace with me."
Zhu Bi researches steel carefully.
Zhao Chuanjia can barely be considered a person who understands thunder and lightning... just barely.
After all, thunder and lightning are both very similar but completely different.
These two people are the core pillars of the Royal Electric Company and are the best people to make magnets.
As for the CEO of Royal Power Company...
It must be me, Zhu Jianji.
Generating electricity is not just about magnets, it is a whole set of processes. Who else in this world can figure out that set of principles and processes except me, Zhu Jianji.
The Ming Dynasty Royal Electric Power Company is about to be established.
The Ming Dynasty will be the first city that never sleeps in the world. The splendor of the Celestial Kingdom will surpass that of the Tang Dynasty and will surely become the most dazzling glory in the world.
