Chapter 874, Daming is developing towards a new era
"It's really amazing!"
"Just tighten a few screws and it's repaired?"
"This guy is really awesome. He can even repair a steam cultivator. It's not easy."
"Tsk, tsk, you made five taels of silver in just a few seconds?"
The people watching around saw the steam engine tiller roaring again, and they couldn't help but sigh.
As for Landlord Liu next to him, he was also slightly dumbfounded. Is it such a simple repair?
"Bring me five taels of silver!"
After washing his hands, Zhu Houzhao said to Landlord Liu.
"this…"
Landlord Liu hesitated slightly. It was too simple and the money was so profitable. He didn't want to give it anymore and wanted to find an excuse.
"Landlord Liu, this spit is like a slap in the face. How can it not count if you say it out loud?"
"That's right, as I said, I'll give you five taels of silver after repairing it."
"Haha, Landlord Liu is a tough guy. Wouldn't five taels of silver cost his life?"
When the people around saw Landlord Liu like this, they immediately smiled and said.
As for Zhu Houzhao, he still has a smile on his face. If you don't want to give him money, try it.
If I can't beat you to death, how can I, a dignified prince, still get less than five taels of silver?
"Haha, I'll give it, I'll give it!"
Landlord Liu looked at the people around him, then at Zhu Houzhao who looked calm and composed, and at Liu Jin who was beside Zhu Houzhao. Liu Jin and the others smiled and reluctantly took out five silver dollars and handed them to Zhu Houzhao.
"Thanks!"
Zhu Houzhao got five silver coins, blew a very vulgar breath, and then put it to his ear to listen to the sound to judge whether it was real silver dollars.
Seeing this scene, Liu Jin couldn't help but smile and shook his head.
Zhu Houzhao was really born into the wrong family. Except that he was not suitable to be an emperor, he could do anything.
"Old Liu, let's go. I'm treating you today. Five taels of silver should be enough for a pretty good meal."
After confirming that the silver was genuine, Zhu Houzhao was smiling all over his face. He was in a very good mood. He was able to earn five taels of silver during a trip.
Of course, for Zhu Houzhao, it doesn't matter whether he has money or not. The key is that his hobbies are put to good use and he also earns five yuan. This is what makes him happy.
"Tsk, tsk, I really got five silver dollars."
"It's really amazing. In just a few steps, I made five taels of silver."
"No, there's real gold and silver, five taels of silver. In the past, we couldn't see even one tael of silver throughout the year, but he made five taels of silver in just a few seconds."
The people around looked at Zhu Houzhao, Liu Jin and the others as they left, with envy and jealousy in their eyes.
Just like this, I got five taels of silver in just a few seconds. The money came in too quickly, at least for the crowd watching the excitement. The money came very quickly, and it was very profitable.
"Hey, Lao Liu, am I awesome?"
Riding alongside Liu Jin, Zhu Houzhao kept playing with the five silver coins in his hand as if they were rare treasures, and at the same time he proudly showed off to Liu Jin.
Liu Jin knew that classmate Zhu Houzhao always carried a stack of one hundred taels of silver notes issued by the First Bank of the Ming Dynasty. These five taels of silver were nothing at all.
But the key is that he earned it by himself, or the five taels of silver he earned from his favorite field of machinery.
"awesome!"
Liu Jin smiled and said again and again.
"Old Liu, you don't know, this maintenance machine is actually very knowledgeable. Although I only tightened a few screws, it seems that anyone can do it. It's very simple."
"But tightening screws is not valuable. Knowing where to tighten the screws is really valuable."
"This is the power of knowledge, knowledge is wealth!"
When Zhu Houzhao heard Liu Jin say that he was great, his tail was raised and he started bragging to Liu Jin.
"..."
When Liu Jin heard this, he was immediately speechless, making me feel as if I was illiterate.
"What His Highness said is that knowledge is power and knowledge is wealth."
However, Liu Jin still smiled and nodded in agreement.
Then Liu Jin thought for a while and asked Zhu Houzhao: "Your Highness, what information did you learn from the conversations of these people today?"
Classmate Zhu Houzhao is a very smart person. He can learn anything quickly. As long as someone guides him, he is actually a beautiful jade. He does not need to learn how to govern the country, but Liu Jin knows it.
What he didn't like was actually Yang Tinghe's old-fashioned teaching methods, and he didn't like the traditional so-called emperor's skills and the way of governing the country.
If he can be given a little guidance and taught in a new way, he will actually learn quickly and be willing to learn.
After hearing Liu Jin's question, Zhu Houzhao pondered for a moment and said: "My Ming Dynasty is undergoing unprecedented changes. An era that has never appeared in previous dynasties is coming. Our Ming Dynasty has embarked on a path different from any previous dynasty.
"
"This is a huge test for us!"
Zhu Houzhao is not stupid, he is a very smart person. If he puts his energy into certain aspects, he can make good achievements.
Even though he didn't like studying with Yang Tinghe, he still learned a lot since learning to govern the country from Emperor Hongzhi, and he also had his own views and ideas on governing the country.
What he saw and heard when he came out today made him feel that a new era was coming.
The Ming Dynasty has embarked on a completely different path from previous dynasties.
This is Zhu Houzhao's understanding, and he also realizes very clearly that this is a huge test for him.
He is the current prince and the only son of Emperor Hongzhi. Sooner or later, the Ming Dynasty will be passed into his hands.
Even though he likes to play and specialize in certain things, and does not like to learn the ways of governing a country or the art of emperors, he also understands that sooner or later he will have to carry the Ming Dynasty and the legacy left by his ancestors.
So he actually has his own understanding and opinions on how to govern the country.
"What His Highness said is true. Our Ming Dynasty is undergoing an unprecedented change and is developing towards a new era."
"Such an era has never been experienced in previous dynasties."
Hearing Zhu Houzhao's words, Liu Jin couldn't help but look at him with admiration.
I didn't expect that classmate Zhu Houzhao would have such profound insights and understanding. He also looked at the long term and saw the development and changes of the entire Ming Dynasty.
"Haha, I like this new era."
"Those things in the past have been experienced for thousands of years in all dynasties. The ways of governing the country and the art of emperors are all antiques. I don't know how many emperors in the past dynasties have been learning this thing, and few emperors have been able to learn it.
Really make a great move."
"The so-called prosperous times in the past were just about allowing the common people to have enough to eat."
"But what about our current Ming Dynasty?"
"We can not only make the people have enough to eat, but also eat well and have meat to eat. More importantly, our people in the Ming Dynasty now have hope and ambition. This is the real prosperous age."
After hearing Liu Jin's words, Zhu Houzhao immediately laughed happily.
There were not many people that Zhu Houzhao really valued, but Liu Jin was one of them. He was very happy to be recognized by Liu Jin, and he talked a lot.
"And this is just the beginning of a new era. In the future, I'm afraid no one will know what will happen to our Ming Dynasty, but in the final analysis, we still have to start from the people."
"Water can carry a boat or capsize it!"
"If the common people's basic necessities, food, clothing, housing and transportation are no longer a problem, our Ming Dynasty will naturally become more and more prosperous. But if the common people's basic necessities, food, housing and transportation are not solved and guaranteed, our Ming Dynasty will be precarious."
"Yang Tinghe, this old antique, knows nothing. He only knows the way of an emperor, the way of governing a country, benevolence, justice and morality. They are all fictitious things and have no practicality."
"It's so boring to study all the time. I don't want to study."
Zhu Houzhao said with a smile.
After listening to Zhu Houzhao's words, Liu Jin immediately understood why Zhu Houzhao didn't like taking classes with Yang Tinghe. After all, what Yang Tinghe said was too general, and Zhu Houzhao could see real things, so he was unwilling to learn.
.
Zhu Houzhao is a very smart person. He learns everything quickly. In fact, he prefers to see with his own eyes and listen with his own ears, which is more realistic.
"Mr. Yang's knowledge is still very profound."
Liu Jin thought about it and said with a smile.
…
In the evening, in Emperor Hongzhi's study, Xiao Jing reported to Emperor Hongzhi everything he said and did today.
"The Ming Dynasty is moving towards a new era, an era that has never been experienced in previous dynasties?"
Emperor Hongzhi thought carefully about what Zhu Houzhao said.
To be honest, he, the emperor, does not have very deep feelings about this aspect, because around him, the people he comes into contact with are still the same ministers as before, and everyone is doing the same things as before. In this regard, his
The feeling is not deep.
"It seems that I will still have to go out more and see more in the future."
“Otherwise, you won’t be able to feel the changes of the times.”
"I didn't expect that the prince would already have such profound insights and insights."
"Water can carry or capsize a boat, providing the people with basic necessities of life."
"The prince has really grown up!"
Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but smile, a happy smile.
I have always felt that Zhu Houzhao was actually still a child and didn't understand anything. Now it seems that I just don't know the prince well enough. The prince's profound understanding and insights show that he has indeed grown up.
"Xiao Jing, did Yang Tinghe submit his resignation again?"
