You must know that the examiner of the palace examination is His Majesty.
There are some things that you can’t just say you don’t want to do.
"You are really seeking death. If you are to pursue this case, it would be regarded as the crime of deceiving the emperor."
"That's not necessarily true. After all, he wants to get into the military academy. His Highness the Grand Sun should protect him."
"We can't say for sure, we'll see when the time comes."
Regarding his comments, many people still sneered at him, saying, "Why should we join the army if we don't take the high road?"
After all, these days, officials are living a comfortable life.
"Brother Liu, listen to me. I'm not talking about you. I'm telling you, why take such a risk?"
In a restaurant somewhere, a man dressed as a scholar spoke earnestly to a burly man opposite.
This burly man is none other than Liu Buyi.
Liu Sanwu's apprentice and teacher at Zhu Ying's school.
"You don't understand. If you have seen the majesty of Xuan Jiawei, you will naturally understand what I am pursuing."
"It is good to be in charge of one party, but it would be great to control the world."
"Today's world seems peaceful, but in fact there are turbulent undercurrents. It gives me a sense of the great world. If I want to join it, the only way is to abandon my writing and join the army."
Liu Buyi said solemnly.
"Brother Liu, you, eh."
"Since Brother Liu has already made his decision, I won't persuade him any more, but the current issue is how Brother Liu should explain it to Your Majesty."
"If one of them is really bad, then disaster is imminent."
Listening to his classmates' worries, Liu Buyi smiled mysteriously: "Don't forget, I teach at the school run by His Highness the Grand Sun's Qunying Chamber of Commerce."
Upon hearing this, the man immediately reacted: "Well, Liu Buyi, the city is very deep."
"Brother Liu will be the host of tonight's night tour of Qinhuai."
Liu Buyi laughed: "It's a small matter."
.....
In Kunning Palace, after hearing the news from Song Zhong, Zhu Ying nodded slightly.
Since Ye Yueqing has become the Grand Concubine, it is naturally difficult for her to personally intervene in many matters.
After many choices, Song Zhong finally took the position.
The main person responsible for the intelligence lies with Uncle Zhang, and Song Zhong is equivalent to the microphone.
Obviously, the matter regarding Liu Buyi was also arranged by Zhu Ying.
This is not to say that it was forced, but that this matter was pushed to me by Uncle Zhang.
Liu Buyi proposed on his own that he wanted to enter the Military Academy.
It happened that Chunwei had a good hand.
As for the old man, to be honest, he doesn’t pay much attention to the imperial examination.
If Zhu Ying hadn't suggested it, I'm afraid this year's spring boudoir exam might not have happened.
Historically, the imperial examination was started again in the 27th year of Hongwu. It had been discontinued in the 17th year.
So some things, from a higher level perspective, are not the problem at all.
"What happened to the Nine Swords of the Ming Dynasty?"
Zhu Ying asked in a deep voice.
The Military Academy is very important, and the Nine Swords of the Ming Dynasty, which were established at the same time, are the hope of the Ming Dynasty for hundreds of years to come.
Song Zhong immediately bowed and said: "Reporting to Your Highness, the nine schools are under construction and it is expected that students will be able to enroll in them in three months."
"I have arranged for Jin Yiwei to search for talents from all over the Ming Dynasty. Uncle Zhang is also working hard to find them."
Zhu Ying nodded.
The so-called Nine Swords of the Ming Dynasty refer to the nine schools established with the capital as the center.
In these nine schools, they did not teach the Four Books and Five Classics, nor did they serve as officials and fight.
It is a series of researches in astronomy, arithmetic, gunpowder, industry, medicine, etc. that are far ahead of the times.
It is true that Zhu Ying may not be able to study anything in these nine universities in his lifetime.
But is this the reason why it is not open?
China's accumulation was so extensive and profound that even in Zhu Ying's later generations, it had an unimaginable effect.
Use a common thing, a calendar.
Later generations generally use the solar calendar, also known as the solar calendar, the Gregorian calendar, and the Western calendar.
There are fewer and fewer people using the lunar calendar, and it has even disappeared in many big cities in later generations. It only has a place in the countryside.
Many old people only use the lunar calendar and don't talk about the Western calendar.
The lunar calendar is different from the Western calendar. The origin of the Western calendar is mainly related to the annual movement of the earth and the sun.
The lunar calendar is not only the connection between the earth and the sun, but also the connection between the earth and the moon.
Therefore, the accurate positioning of the lunar calendar should be the combined yin and yang calendar.
How vivid is the lunar calendar?
When you see the moon in the sky is full, hey, the fifteenth day is here.
When you see only a little bit of the moon, that's the beginning of the month.
The upper Xuan Yue and the lower Xuan Yue can be clearly recognized with just one glance.
This is the relationship between the lunar calendar and the moon.
The relationship between the lunar calendar and the sun is even clearer.
Twenty-four solar terms.
When certain solar terms arrive, certain phenomena will follow.
For example, after a flood there will be a great epidemic, after a heavy snowfall there will be a good harvest, and after a severe drought there will be a great earthquake.
After the Beginning of Autumn, the weather immediately turns cooler.
These are all attributed to the lunar calendar, and have been fully verified even in later generations.
And the most powerful thing is more than that. The greatest use of the twenty-four solar terms is the guidance of agriculture.
Even people who are illiterate know the twenty-four solar terms very well.
In later generations, in some villages, many old people were illiterate, but they knew the twenty-four solar terms by heart, clearly and clearly.
Among the Nine Prefectures, there is also the study of astronomy.
It’s hard to imagine that in this day and age, why study astronomy?
It is better to build a telescope first. Without an astronomical telescope, how can we study astronomical stars?
However, in later generations, before the 18th century, all research related to astronomical stars was conducted in China, and only in China.
The ancestors of China, Gan De and Shi Shen.
These two people, who lived in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, compiled the world's earliest astronomical work "Gan Shi Celestial Scripture" by relying only on naked eye observations.
In the Ganshi Star Book, a total of 1,464 stars, planets and various types of stars are included.
In Gan Shi's Astrology, there is another greatest discovery, that is, the 800 stars in the solar system. Before Zhu Ying left, a total of 121 had been accurately located and confirmed.
This is no longer something that can be seen with the naked eye.
The secret is difficult to say, but it is not difficult at all. It is the somewhat mysterious Ziwei Dou Shu and other unique Chinese arithmetic.
After constant calculation, it was calculated.
As for the ones other than 121, it is not a mistake. It was because when Zhu Ying was in later generations, astronomical telescopes could not see it, so naturally it could not be confirmed.
I'm just talking about what can be seen, that's all, there is no mistake or omission.
For Zhu Ying, Shi Shen's understanding was the naming of the far side of the moon.
So the greatest astronomers in the history of the world ordered all kinds of mountains.
Shishen Mountain is the largest crater.
It was also because of these that Zhu Yingcai came up with the idea of carrying on the past and forging ahead.
Chinese literature cannot be buried.
For now, the only one who can get on the road quickly is traditional Chinese medicine.
Traditional Chinese medicine in the early Ming Dynasty did not suffer much impact. Meng Yuan despised the Han people, but always respected doctors.
Because we all know that at critical moments, doctors can really save lives.
As far as the world is concerned, TCM medical skills are the top medical skills in the world.
What Zhu Ying wants to do is to make him more famous.
These are the Nine Swords of the Ming Dynasty, the cornerstone of the country.
No amount of spending is too important.
...
The internal affairs of the Ming Dynasty were constantly innovating and improving.
And the frontier is constantly changing.
Ever since the news about the fertile soil in Liaodong came out, the forces on the grassland who got the news began to gather towards Liaodong.
"Brother, do you think this Ming Dynasty is lying to us? Is that such a bitter and cold place really so good?"
From a tribe that moved east on the grassland, a Mongolian riding a tall horse asked the elder brother next to him.
The eldest brother who was questioned replied: "You are definitely not lying. Didn't you listen to what the Khan said? All the people of the Ming Dynasty know this matter, and the Khans on our grasslands also know it."
"Everyone is rushing over there now. When we get there, we won't have to go hungry anymore and there will be endless food."
Hearing the elder brother's answer, the Mongolian man who asked the question before smiled happily.
He has already begun to imagine the scene of living a good life.
In the hearts of the people of the Ming Dynasty, the Mongols represented cruelty, but in reality, few of the real Mongolians had enough to eat.
Eating one meal but not finishing one is the true portrayal of a Mongolian man.
Fortunately, the big tribes had enough cattle and sheep and occupied fertile grasslands.
The small tribes had no choice but to move around and avoid the territory of the big tribes, leading to a miserable life.
Recently, there are rumors on the grasslands that Liaodong has the most fertile land. If farmers plant it, they will be able to grow endless amounts of food. No matter how many people go, they will be able to eat enough, and even people can be starved to death.
It seemed like some outrageous rumors, but many tribes really started to migrate after hearing it.
At this moment, some businessmen in a large grassland tribe were being questioned.
"The person behind you is the great grandson of the Ming Dynasty and the future emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Will he tell everyone about such a good thing instead of hiding it?"
"If you dare to lie to me, I will kill you all and use your heads to hold wine."
A khan said fiercely to the dozen or so tied up businessmen below.
These merchants belong to the Qunying Chamber of Commerce.
They mainly do business in the grasslands and deserts.
Not long ago, the caravan was robbed by the Mongols, all the goods were robbed, and all the knights who were guarding it were killed.
In the end, these are the only people left.
In fact, in the past two months, the power of the Qunying Chamber of Commerce on the grassland has been continuously disintegrated.
A large number of branches may even be completely engulfed.
All this just stems from the exposure of Zhu Ying's identity as the grandson of the Ming Dynasty.
A long time ago, Zhu Ying had already sent a message to the Chamber of Commerce on the grassland, asking them to evacuate first.
Some chambers of commerce obeyed, but more chambers of commerce did not leave, but chose to stay.
It seems that the Grassland Chamber of Commerce here is not following orders, but in fact it has something to do with the system of the Qunying Chamber of Commerce.
In just a few years, Qunying Chamber of Commerce suddenly intensified and expanded, all of which originated from the chamber of commerce franchise system proposed by Zhu Ying.
In other words, 90% of the merchant associations on the grassland are not from the Western Regions or the Ming Dynasty, but are serious Mongolians or other grassland tribes.
This is basically the case not only in grasslands, but also in other areas.
This is the fundamental reason why the Qunying Chamber of Commerce has expanded so rapidly.
The total number of core members of the Qunying Chamber of Commerce who are actually on the grassland is less than a hundred.
Most of them had already started to evacuate long before the accident.
Only a small part remains.
One of the businessmen interrogated was a real core member of the Chamber of Commerce.
It's just that he is not Han, but an authentic Mongolian.
"Dear Khan, this humble servant greets you. Your eyes are as sharp as the eagle flying in the sky. In front of you, everything will be sincere. How can we servants dare to deceive you, the noble one."
"The matter of the fertile soil in Liaodong was not spread by our group of heroes. It was something that everyone on the border of the Ming Dynasty knew."
"His Majesty, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, wants to plant food on the black soil of Liaodong, so he needs enough people. As long as there are more people, there will be no wall to prevent leakage of information."
The businessman was lying on the ground, praising and explaining loudly.
The Khan sat on it, holding a long whip, and he hesitated after listening.
A Han man next to me came over and whispered something.
The Khan nodded slightly, then struck the ground with a whip:
"Stupid slave, your Chamber of Commerce will completely disappear on the grassland under the gaze of Changshengtian."
"I will give you a chance to kneel down and kiss the instep of my feet. From now on, I will allow you to join my tribe."
After speaking, the Khan ordered the Mongolian soldiers next to him: "My most trusted warrior, go and tell our people that our tribe will begin to migrate to the place where the sun rises in the east."
"There are the fattest sheep, the freshest grass, and endless Han crops."
"Anyone who dares to compete with our Hatan tribe will have their heads cut off by us."
The Mongolian soldier on the side stroked his chest and bowed his head in salute: "Listen to your orders, my most noble Khan."
After saying that, he went out and announced.
Until this moment, the businessmen below dared to raise their heads.
On the grasslands, slaves who looked directly at their masters were disrespectful and would be whipped. Now, the Khan has lifted their status as slaves, and only then can they be qualified to raise their heads.
The businessman who spoke earlier was stunned as soon as he raised his head.
Because he was very familiar with the Han man next to Khan.
When his branch chamber of commerce was founded, the Han people in front of him came to act as teachers and taught them how to do business.
The Han man, with a smile on his face, didn't seem to worry at all about the possibility of his identity being exposed.
The businessman bowed his head deeply again and said nothing.
That night.
"Teacher, why are you here?"
"How could you survive if I wasn't here?"
"Thank you, teacher, for saving my life."
"No need to be polite, I just did it casually. You are lucky to survive."
"Teacher, what should we do now."
"Go to Liaodong. Over there, the Chamber of Commerce will make its own arrangements."
