Chapter 366 Inside the Palace
early morning!
Zhu Youxiao slowly opened his eyes, and what he saw was a smooth and white color. There were three or four arms on his body, and his hands were all wrapped in softness.
"This is really..." Shaking his head, he remembered what happened last night. In his passion and forgetfulness, he directly dragged the queen Zhang Yan and the other two noble concubines into a wild and violent scene.
"I don't know if Baozhu will blame me!" Zhu Youxiao's face couldn't help but trembled when he thought of last night's beauty, but then he became bitter again.
"It's better to get up first, otherwise I will be even more embarrassed here." Zhu Youxiao secretly glanced at the trembling eyelashes of the lovely girl in his arms, pulled out his arms shrinkingly, then quietly went to the ground and randomly put on some clothes on his body.
.
He didn't know how to pass on the complicated costumes of the Ming Dynasty palace yet, so he could only go outside and let the waiting maids help him dress. While he was yawning and being served by the blushing maids, he vaguely heard something inside.
There was a rustling sound of clothes rubbing against each other.
"Run." Zhu Youxiao looked inside and saw a figure walking out. He ran away in a hurry, not even having time to fasten his buttons.
"Where is the emperor?" Zhang Yan asked curiously after coming out. He had just seen the emperor wearing clothes here.
"Your Majesty has run away." The palace maid, who had been blushing all the time, pointed to the door. At this time, Zhu Youxiao's figure disappeared around the corner.
"Huh, I'm giving him an advantage." Zhang Yan waved her fist, her face flushed, "I'll take care of him when I get back." After saying that, she turned around and stared at the little palace maid, "Did you see anything?"
"No, slave... I didn't see anything." The little palace maid knelt down on the ground and hurriedly arrived.
"That's fine." Zhang Yan nodded with satisfaction, and then returned to the room. She was very tired last night and needed to catch up on her sleep.
Over there, standing at the door of his study, Zhu Youxiao crossed his arms and panted lightly. He was not tired, but nervous.
"Huh, it's a good thing I ran away, otherwise I would have suffered a lot again." Looking behind him, Zhang Yan didn't rush over to kill him. Knowing that he had escaped this disaster, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but relax.
"What should I do at night?" Thinking of Zhang Yan's methods, he felt a faint pain in the soft flesh of his waist. It was a heart-wrenching pain.
"There must be a way to divert his attention." Zhu Youxiao thought, and then stepped into the study.
As soon as he entered, without any greeting, the palace maids gathered around him, carrying washbasins and clothes, and quickly took care of him.
After washing up and cleaning up his personal hygiene, he suddenly felt that his whole body had lost two pounds. Especially the life of being served by a little beauty made Zhu Youxiao, who had not experienced it for almost half a year, feel relieved.
The tender and delicate catkins are beyond the reach of rough men.
Later, a sumptuous breakfast was served. The exquisite and gorgeous meals made Zhu Youxiao have a big appetite. In the past few months in the army, although he did not sleep with the soldiers, he must have eaten together. What did the soldiers eat?
He eats whatever he wants, and the same applies to officers. Whether stationed or marching, this is the rule.
The officer's dining place is also in the same place as the soldiers. You can see what everyone is eating, just at different tables. This rule has been implemented by him since he established the Yulin Army. He doesn't know the effect, but he is sure
It is better than the previous hierarchical system.
At least, his army never worried about morale.
Snoring, a large breakfast went into his stomach. The delicious food gave him a big appetite.
"Long live my lord, Mr. Xu, the second assistant, would like to see you." Just as he was enjoying his meal, Liu Ruoyu appeared in front of him unnoticed. Even with Zhu Yu's martial arts at this time, he still didn't know how he got in.
.
"Oh, tell him to come in." Principal Zhu You ordered without raising his head.
"Yes, long live the Lord." Liu Ruoyu lowered his head and went out to deliver the order.
After a while, Xu Guangqi came in holding some memorials. He was obviously stunned when he saw the emperor having breakfast. He did not expect that the emperor would summon him at this time.
"Your Majesty, I have been rude." As soon as Xu Guangqi complained, he wanted to push him down.
"It's okay. I eat quickly. I'm almost finished. Have you eaten, Mr. Xu Ge? I asked the imperial kitchen to prepare the last one." Zhu Youxiao greeted Xu Guangqi to sit down. He was almost finished, so he didn't bother the old minister.
Running around.
Next to him, an excited little eunuch saw Xu Guangqi standing. Remembering His Majesty's previous instructions, he brought a chair over from the side and quietly put it down.
"Thank you Your Majesty, but I have already eaten before going to court. It is also because of Your Majesty's great blessing that I have changed the morning meeting. Now I have time to get up slowly, and then go to court after eating breakfast." Xu Guangqi replied with a smile, and then also
You're welcome, just sit down on the chair.
"Yes, it's quite exciting. It's rare that you still remember my instructions and watch the reward." Zhu Youxiao complimented casually, but the little eunuch was so excited that he almost knelt down to thank him. Fortunately, he still remembered that it was the monarch and his ministers who were playing against each other at this time.
Not being able to disturb him, I suppressed the throbbing in my heart and maintained my standing posture.
"Here's a bowl of lotus seed soup for Xu Aiqing." Zhu Youxiao ordered one directly without any explanation.
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty." Xu Guangqi thanked him so much that he could not cry. There is no reason why he must eat it.
The two of them were just like this, chatting about daily life while eating, which family's child is getting married, who is the wife, how is the weather recently, will it delay the farming season, where is the technological progress at Tiangong Research Institute, and how is wool spinning running?
Is it good or not, etc.
"By the way, are there any good rewards for those who work on wool textile technology?" Suddenly remembering something, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but ask.
"There are all silver rewards, and the craftsmen are very satisfied." Xu Guangqi replied.
Hearing such an answer, Zhu Youxiao frowned. This was caused by the tradition of despising technical craftsmen. For such an important technology, only some money was awarded. Other honorary status and the like did not change at all. Even the inner
There is no rank in the government.
"It's inappropriate, it's inappropriate. How can such a frivolous reward allow people to devote themselves to technical research."
"I remember that the imperial government has not yet established a first-class honorary rank. Now it has established one, called Academician. In terms of technology, it is called Academician of Tiangong, and in terms of literature, it is called Academician of Hanlin. It is only awarded to the top people in the world's knowledge. Li Zhizao took the lead and came up with it.
If he is not good at wool spinning technology, he will be awarded this title. As for others, he will be awarded different ranks according to their merits." Zhu Youxiao said slowly.
"As for the Hanlin academicians, whoever compiles a book or law that satisfies me first will be awarded. The academicians' various treatments are equivalent to those of a first-class cabinet scholar."
"So, is there any problem?"
"Is this... not too heavy?" Xu Guangqi hesitated. This is natural. It has been a tradition for thousands of years. No one can bear the sudden comparison between craftsmen and literati like them.
"Hmph, there's nothing too important. I just want the world to know that only by following the path I have set will you be rewarded!" Zhu Youxiao snorted coldly. "As soon as the canonization matter is answered, you will go to the Famous and Literature Department to handle it.
, it will be announced at the meeting tomorrow.”
"Yes, Your Majesty." Seeing that the emperor had made up his mind, Xu Guangqi stopped trying to persuade him. Anyway, the emperor had changed more than one thing or two. Countless civil servants had protested against it, but he turned a deaf ear and continued to go his own way.
However, the civil servants had nothing to do with the emperor. They wanted to resign in protest, but they couldn't bear to think about the high salaries now. Resignation has no lethality at all now. Countless alternate officials are waiting for it. Well, the integration of officials and officials
Later, there were many old civil servants in every county waiting for those in front of them to make mistakes so that they could rise to the top.
After deciding on the titles of Academician of Tiangong and Academician of Hanlin, they finally finished their breakfast, although it was already late.
After wiping his mouth with a wet wipe, Zhu Youxiao asked, "Ai Qing came here early in the morning to ask for a visit. I don't know if there is any important matter."
Xu Guangqi chuckled and replied, "Your Majesty, there is nothing important. I just came here to report to Your Majesty the work of the past five months."
"That's it, you tell me, I'm listening." Zhu You leaned back from the headmaster, got into a comfortable position, and listened slowly.
Seeing this, Xu Guangqi smiled helplessly, but did not give any advice. Instead, he held the statement he had written and reported it slowly. Some of the things he said were known to Zhu Youxiao, and some were unknown to him.
For example, in the first case, the land reform has encountered resistance and is currently deadlocked in Hebei Province, unable to make any progress. Speaking of this, Xu Guangqi explained, "Your Majesty, the veteran minister discussed with other cabinet ministers a few days ago and came up with a good idea.
Method."
Having said this, he communicated with Zhu Youxiao the method of discussion that day. In front of the emperor, Xu Guangqi was very frank, speaking openly and naturally about his cronies, students, confidants, etc. Zhu Youxiao's achievements since he ascended the throne
His performance all shows that he is a mature emperor, and a mature emperor will never be afraid of these things.
Therefore, Xu Guangqi was very frank, so frank that even Zhu Youxiao was a little surprised.
"This is a good method. Put the people you trust and can carry out effectively in Hebei, and then carry out land reform. When they have experience and ability, they will be sent to other places. In this way, one province after another, the Ming Dynasty can be conquered in three to five years.
The land reform is completed. Not bad, it is both stable and strong, which is your style." Zhu Youxiao praised.
"Since you have a method here, I don't have to go to any trouble and call North Korea Cui Mingji and his group of experienced men over."
Hearing this, Xu Guangqi couldn't help wiping the cold sweat from his forehead. Fortunately, he had a solution that day, otherwise when the butchers came over, they wouldn't know how much trouble they would cause.
"Train your own people well. It will be of great use after the land reform is rolled out across the country." Zhu Youxiao chuckled, "Liaodong, Hebei, and North Korea have started land reform. Let the Empire Daily report more in the future.
, and the future work will be easier to carry out.”
