Yan Shiyue was the kind of person who really admired Emperor Ming Yan and fell to the ground.
Recently, she went to the palace every day to improve Aye's favorability. She often saw Emperor Ming Yan reading the two books of Shangbu. She secretly flipped through them when he was not prepared. The books were densely filled with comments, and they were all quite correct.
.
With this perseverance, he kept his word and kept learning. She felt that in less than two months, he would probably be able to teach her.
Uh-huh-huh...it's so scary, isn't it!
I am not afraid of heaven and earth, but I am afraid that scholars will be serious.
In this atmosphere, the New Year comes day by day.
During the New Year's banquet, the officials and ladies watched several scenes of royal wonders.
First, a pair of twins with dumplings and rice cakes came in holding hands on their short legs, and then later, Yan Shiyue and Huo Qijing also came in holding hands.
It looks really gratifying.
Then, the prince and the princess also came hand in hand, also bringing their four-year-old eldest son and their two-year-old second son.
Even Emperor Ming Yan and the Queen brought their three-year-old twins over.
At this time, the fourth prince had not returned to the capital yet, and the fourth prince's concubine came alone.
The painting style of the fifth prince's family is very different. The fifth prince is walking in front, and behind him, the principal concubine Guo Shi and the concubine Xie have their eyebrows bent, holding arms and talking and laughing, they are closer than sisters.
This year's banquet was held together as a family, so Yan Shiyue finally didn't have to sit separately from Huo Qijing.
It was okay at first. During the dance ceremony, the children were so excited that they never expected that there would be so many adults dancing together, so Yan Shiyue directly let the two little ones out, and the others followed.
A group of little kids were laughing happily, raising their little hands to learn how to dance, squeezing each other, and the scene was so cute.
The Queen Mother is getting older and she likes to watch this kind of scene the most. She is so happy that she can't open her mouth from ear to ear.
The married women also regretted not bringing their children with them for fun.
Among them, Jie'er, the eldest son of the prince, is the eldest. He is a very handsome and gentle little brother. He helped the dumplings and rice cakes fall down several times, and patted his head in a serious manner to comfort him. Emperor Ming Yan looked up at him.
It’s also Long Yan’s joy.
Ninety was very domineering and would push anyone away, no matter who it was. So after the dance was over, the dumplings and rice cakes all gathered around the prince.
The prince and princess hugged him over and fed them whatever they had on hand. The four children were treated equally and did not shy away from anything.
Others looked at Yan Shiyue and his wife, who were talking to each other, and had no intention of taking the child back. They were secretly curious. It seemed that there was no discord between the Crown Prince and His Highness Fuyan, even if they were both wearing apricot yellow robes.
Neither.
There was a heavy snowfall after the Chinese New Year. Everyone was at home enjoying the winter.
At the end of the first month, all the accounts of the Jinxiu Division were paid first. Considering that the women were very careful and careless at the beginning of the business, dividends are currently distributed once every three months.
Catching up with the Chinese New Year, Song Jin's sales were not too good, and the dividends were 75%, which can be said to be the last time to get back the money.
Xie Meiwan now had many people on hand, and he sent people one by one to deliver the money, and when he got the receipts back, the women in the city were all excited. Everyone who participated had a beaming face, and those who didn't participate... were also busy wanting to participate.
Then Xie Meiwan smiled and took out another version of the deed.
History repeats itself once again.
Those who invest in shares during the start-up period will receive different treatment than those who invest during development!
The women were filled with regret, but Yan Shiyue was standing behind the Jinxiu Department, and the fifth prince's concubine was in charge. No one dared to make a fuss, so they could only sign the new contract. If they didn't sign, they were afraid of the future.
Worse!
In modern society, there was a joke that a woman bought a stock for less than a thousand yuan and could talk to different people for three hours.
Although it is a joke, it also has its own significance. Many women are indeed keen to tell it. Anyway, since the establishment of the Jinxiu Division, the capital has become somewhat of an atmosphere where everyone is a businessman.
The Ministry of Commerce's state-owned enterprises are like a gold-eating beast, they have been swallowing money in a leisurely manner, and the national treasury is becoming rich day by day, and one year can be worth ten years.
Before the first lunar month, Emperor Yan of the Ming Dynasty summoned Huo Qijing.
He said: "Did you hear what I said to Yue'er that day?"
Huo Qijing lowered his head and said nothing.
He had good ears and really heard it.
Emperor Ming Yan said: "What do you think trade is?"
Huo Qijing said: "If I teach my son, I not only want him to read and understand, but also to strengthen his body. This is the relationship between scholars and businessmen. I believe that they complement each other."
Emperor Ming Yan nodded, and after a long while, he slowly said: "Do you think it is necessary to build a fire weapon camp? Is it feasible?"
The Xishan Armory has been in operation since it was built, but it is not always producing, but always researching.
Fire weapons have great destructive power and can reach far, which is a huge threat to the personal safety of superiors. But at the same time, the muzzle of the gun faces outward, and it is also a huge amulet.
Making such a decision requires tremendous courage.
At that time, Emperor Kangxi was also a man of great talent and strategy, and could be called the only emperor of all time. However, he was still wary of fire weapons and did not devote himself to research. Instead, he founded the Tiger Clothing and Tengpai Soldiers to restrain fire weapons.
Huo Qijing said: "I heard Yue'er say that the world is very big, but she also said that maybe we have already reached the forefront of the world... But I thought that under uncertain circumstances, we should build a fire weapon camp.
It is necessary. Even if we are really ahead of the curve, it is still necessary and can be passed down to future generations to prevent problems before they happen."
He lifted his robe and saluted: "I am willing to do my best to make the magic weapons available to you, just like your arms and your fingers."
After a long time, Emperor Ming Yan said: "It's accurate."
Since that day, Huo Qijing has been busy.
In Yan Shiyue's mind, what is advanced is the concept. Now, after so long research at Xishan Armory, the mastery of gunpowder and details has far surpassed hers, so she can't help much.
But I heard that Emperor Ming Yan summoned the fifth prince several times in succession and paid great attention to the Lifan Yuan, which made the fifth prince even more energetic.
In February, the examination will begin.
After the rankings were released in March, Zhao Kuangyin actually ranked sixth, which is simply impressive.
While Tang Junchen finished in the 30s, Zhou Jianwei finished 16th, which was simply an extraordinary performance.
But for the three of them, it was an unexpected joy. Tang Junchen was interested in the trade department, and he was very happy to be listed in the Jinshi department. Zhao Kuangyin was a soldier who joined the army halfway, so he picked up books again and was very satisfied with this ranking.
On March 12, the re-examination of the trade subject will be held.
Gu Hengsha was a student of the Imperial College, and he actually had no fame. He also participated in the trade department this time, but his ranking was behind the twenty or so, so he was ignored by them, and he secretly did not mention it himself.
They didn't know until they secretly came to take the re-examination.
After the re-examination, the Ministry of Rites still surrounded a courtyard and asked them to focus on marking the papers.
Yan Shiyue thought that it was almost a year since she stopped breastfeeding as soon as March entered. Now that she is light, she decided not to leave in the next few days and not do anything special. (To be continued)
