The emperor's original purpose of summoning Zhang Shou was out of place because Zhu Ying, an important target figure, had come back by herself, but fortunately, it was not in vain, because Zhang Shou proposed a highly feasible candidate and solution, and the third prince further solved the problem of the visitors on the basis of Zhang Shou's proposal.

However, he was watching Zhang Shou teasing Zhu Ying with great interest, but the next moment Zhang Shou suddenly changed his words: "Your Majesty, the minister was originally going to ask for leave today and not go to Jiuzhangtang, and he also planned to write the original story of last night as a song and send it up, but the palace suddenly summoned the minister to the morning court, so naturally there is no need to write it." ”

"However, just as some words cannot be written on the song, there are also some words that cannot be said in the court."

Seeing that the emperor showed a rather curious expression, and the crown prince of the third prince was the same, Zhang Shou roughly mentioned the achievements of the jacquard seven organs, and he was not surprised to see the emperor, he just said that some of the thieves who infiltrated were directly from the secret passage exit master of ceremonies, Na Jimin Shantang. At this moment, the Son of Heaven, who had been careless before, changed his face from a sunny day to a thunderstorm in an instant.

"How can this be reasonable, it is simply lawless!"

The emperor glared at Chu Kuan almost without thinking, but after staring, seeing Chu Kuan's innocent face, he suddenly realized that Chu Kuan was really no wonder about this matter now, and he was not the master of ceremonies at all!

And even if Chu Kuan was the master of ceremonies, he couldn't say that he knew everything about those good halls...... Moreover, Chu Kuan also told him several times that since Taizu's rule is to use eunuchs as little as possible in the palace, then even if he is an outcast, he is castrated into the palace as a slave after careful training, but it is against Taizu's original intention.

It is still necessary to continue to use the old system, castrate foreign children and train them from an early age, and severely punish those who do not raise their children, which is the way to rule peace in a peaceful and prosperous era. Therefore, if the celebrant wants to open a good hall, it should also be a pure good hall, not to select those with the best qualifications to fill the celebrant hall.

And when the emperor finally suppressed his anger and returned to calm, Zhu Ying couldn't help it: "Such a horrific thing can be seen that Nashantang is selling dog meat on the head of a sheep, and the emperor simply sealed this pickled place, otherwise Zhang Yuan's secret passage will be dug once and there will be a second time, won't Ah Shou be unable to prevent it in the future?" His workshop was so important that day, how could he leave such a trouble! ”

Chu Kuan suddenly wanted to speak and stopped. However, before he could speak, Zhang Shou had already said with a smile: "This kind of thing is run by people with good intentions, which is to help the people and benefit the poor, but it is run by people with malicious intentions, which is to hide dirt and hide lawlessness." The minister dared to ask the emperor to hand over this good hall to the minister to manage. ”

Seeing Zhu Ying's eyes widen and the emperor was also shocked, he said calmly: "To be honest, although there are many craftsmen in the workshop today, there are also a lot of various whimsical ideas, so there will only be more and more shortage of manpower." And since things like table clock glass have been coming out, more and more people have come to poach people, even the most important ones may not be tempted by it......"

"But the rest of the Heavenly Workshop may not be able to withstand that temptation, even if they have taken precautions in advance, it is useless. Moreover, it is difficult to recruit suitable people on the ground in Gyeonggi nowadays, and if you recruit apprentices, you can't help but worry about whether you will recruit spies. If the emperor allows, the minister hopes to train the children in the good hall as apprentices. ”

Zhu Ying suddenly realized, but then asked with some concern: "Ah Shou, aren't you worried that those children will be taught badly since they were young, and when the time comes, not only will they not be grateful to you for their kindness, but they will be resentful?" Or was you instructed to spy on the secrets in your workshop that day? ”

"Of course I'm worried." Zhang Shou smiled, but said to Chu Kuan, "So I hope that Father-in-law Chu will help to screen it." If the children among them regard entering the palace as their goal in life, then they will trouble Father-in-law Chu to do a favor and transfer them to other places in the celebrant eunuch. It's no fun to destroy someone's lifelong wishes. ”

"For the rest of the children, the minister will let Ah Liu and the others slowly select them in their daily time. To be honest, there is nothing to spy on here except for those research projects. And those research projects, from the whimsical to the real, still have a long way to go, as for the reality of the craftsman, as for the reality of the craftsman, he will only know the part he is responsible for. ”

"The drawings of those finished products are not accessible to ordinary craftsmen."

"If in the future, if they can read and write and learn all kinds of crafts that are enough to make a living in a dignified manner, and after they have a job in the Tiangongfang, these children will still be coerced by the so-called parents and elders, or the old masters who don't have much kindness to them, do spy and other pickling work, then, the minister has no choice but to find one and tie one up and send it to the Yamen to be punished."

"Of course, if they become leaders who can lead a project, I believe that they are already comparable to any elite in this era, and at that time, their vision should no longer be limited to the field of open and secret fighting.

Chu Kuan immediately understood that Zhang Shou was insinuating his decision after his brother coerced him to do something! On the one hand, he secretly sighed that such a person who was obviously very compatible with him in all aspects, why couldn't he become a confidant with him, and at the same time wondered in his heart, whether he wanted to lobby the emperor again, so that Zhang Shou could enter the ancient and modern collection library that contained more Taizu's posthumous manuscripts.

And when the emperor heard Zhang Shou elaborate on his future plans for the Jimin Charity Hall, his brows finally gradually relaxed. Although Zhang Shou snatched food from the celebrant supervisor, there was no disadvantage to him in this kind of tiger mouth - the celebrant lost a foundation, but it was originally caused by some people!

Moreover, the good hall is not good, if it is spread out, this stain is not the celebrant of the celebrant and the celebrant, but of him, the emperor!

Even so, he still looked at the third prince on the side quietly: "San Lang, what do you think?" ”

When the third prince heard Zhang Shou say this, he only felt very much in his heart, but when his father suddenly asked himself, he realized that his father probably didn't want to see him blindly approve, but wanted to use his mouth to find fault. Therefore, he racked his brains and thought about it, and finally said: "Father, this time there was an accident in the Jimin Shan Hall, although the celebrant is responsible, but the crime is only in a small number of people. ”

"But the most important thing is that a place like the Shan Tang that does good deeds will become a place of filth and filth without supervision. The teacher's idea is very good, but Erchen thinks that he should send a supervisor? Moreover, the person who supervises cannot be fixed, but should be rotated for a certain period of time, so that there is an effect of supervision, just like the imperial history of the imperial court. ”

Zhu Ying didn't expect the third prince to say this, and her brows stood up for a while: "The so-called supervisors are not selfless, just look at the imperial histories in the court, are there still few people who are messy?" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that he would send people to supervise the ...... Where did the overseers come from? How can we ensure that they can be impartial? ”

When the emperor saw that the third prince was asked by Zhu Ying, his face turned red, so he said angrily: "Yingying, you are bullying San Lang again!" ”

"How dare I bully him!" Zhu Ying suddenly shouted "I'm just talking about things!" It's hard to do things, and it's even more difficult to supervise, Ah Shou, do you say yes! ”

Zhang Shou couldn't help but be angry and funny when he saw Zhu Ying and the third prince raising the bar. Especially when he saw that the two of them were aggrieved at this moment, he had to be a peacemaker and smiled and proposed an ultimate solution.

"Actually, it's very simple, just pick someone who will definitely take the work seriously. For example, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince himself, and for example, the Four Princes. ”

"At the very least, the emperor should be able to be sure that with the consistent sense of justice of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the four princes, he will never condone anything that hides filth in the good hall. Of course, there are no other suitable people in the clan, and the nephew Zheng Jian of King Jiangdu, who studied in Ciqing Palace with the four princes before, is also not bad, and it is also feasible for Dazong to recommend other upright clans. ”

Can it still be like this?

The third prince's eyes widened suddenly, but then he nodded again and again: "What the teacher said is that although the fourth brother has a lot of problems, he has never rubbed sand in his eyes, and he will definitely not indulge people!" Zheng Jian is also a good boy. The clan has something to do, so it's even better. ”

The emperor originally thought that the three princes had finally grown up, but when he saw Zhang Shou lightly rebelling against the army, he couldn't help but have a toothache. Although he had decided to agree to Zhang Shou in principle, he still wanted to embarrass people.

"Then who are you going to give this good hall to? If I remember correctly, your Ah Liu is your most effective bodyguard on the one hand, and on the other hand, he actually takes on the job of a housekeeper, is it possible that you still want him to take care of more than 200 children in the Shantang now? No matter how old the capable person is, it seems that he shouldn't be called by you like this, right? ”

The emperor laughed, if Ah Liu is an animal, it is also a thousand miles. However, if he goes to manage the good hall, then it won't even take a year for the children in the good hall to turn into saw-mouthed gourds. That's good material for being a soldier, but what the minister wants is an apprentice craftsman with an active mind, not a dumb person who can't beat a stuffy fart with three sticks. ”

Zhang Shou directly took Ah Liu, who was not at the scene, this time, and saw that the emperor was immediately happy, the three princes agreed, and Zhu Ying laughed and trembled, but Chu Kuan and Hua Qi reacted calmly, so he said slowly: "Moreover, the emperor underestimates the ministers, and the ministers don't have to dispatch Ah Liu for everything." For example, this good hall ......"

"Even the ministers plan to continue to use the previous name, as long as they change the manager. For example...... Mother-in-law. ”

No one misunderstands that Zhang Shou is talking about his biological mother, Widow Zhang, after all, it has been many years since people died, and Wu's adoptive mother has always had a weak sense of existence, and more often than not, she is dependent on Zhang Shou.

Therefore, hearing such a candidate, the emperor couldn't help but hesitate for a moment.

And Zhang Shou didn't give the emperor a chance to reject his candidate, and immediately cited his own reasons: "My mother was born poor, and Ah Liu was also kindly picked up by her at the beginning, so she must be able to put herself in the shoes of those abandoned orphans." And of course, she has never been in charge of such a big thing, but she and the Zhao Guogong Mansion often move around, and they respect Mrs. Tai and Aunt Jiu very much. ”

"Mrs. Aether and Aunt Nine's connections and wisdom can guide her in many ways. And the most important thing is that many rich and noble families in the capital often have the custom of doing good deeds, giving porridge, medicine, and winter clothes in the cold winter, but as the saying goes, it is better to teach people to fish, so that poor children can learn a skill. Moreover, things like Shantang really need to be rectified, otherwise the hidden dangers are too great. ”

"The minister learned through Ah Liu, although the celebrant behind this Jimin Charity Hall is the celebrant supervisor, it does not mean that the people in this school are just studying and not working, but working and studying. They all do what they can from an early age, and it is said that this is to keep them from forgetting their roots. But in fact, they didn't teach a group of children to read and write, and they could do more than ordinary people. ”

"Moreover, because the person in charge is the master of ceremonies, most of the people in the church are boys, and only a very few are girls, and even these girls do not study with the boys on weekdays, and they do chores such as cleaning and cooking since they were young, including taking care of the younger children, and they do the work of servant women every day. It can be said that the so-called teachers never let boys treat girls as partners, but treat them from the same background as cattle and horses, and do not allow them to have any dealings. ”

Seeing that Zhu Ying's face was already obviously angry, Zhang Shou said word by word: "But as we all know, will there be more men and fewer women in abandoned children?" No, according to the deep-rooted idea of most people preferring sons over daughters, there must be more boys and girls, so where did the girls who should have been more numerous, Jimin Shan Tang? ”

"For example, Wang Si in Nancheng is full of evil, and the girls who are sold to the Qinglou Chu Pavilion and even those private nests in his good hall, Anzhi is not from a so-called charity place such as Jimin Shan Tang? Take 10,000 steps back and say, the celebrant raises the eldest child because the palace needs attendants, but how many attendants are needed in the palace? Isn't there a greater need for palace people in the palace? ”

"Therefore, this Jimin Charity Hall of the Master of Ceremonies is already crooked from the roots! They didn't even think about buying some spinning wheels so that the girls could learn to weave from an early age, so that they could gradually become self-reliant and self-reliant, but let them be servants for the rest of their lives, and this is how the servants in the good hall came about. This good hall has never been good, and the word Jimin is impossible to talk about! ”

Chu Kuan didn't expect Zhang Shou to dare to say so much, even if he knew that people must rely on the emperor to tolerate him, the three princes on the side would not sit idly by, but such a free speech, even he rarely does it now.

So, even though he knew that he and Zhang Shou were still not all the way, he still said softly: "Your Majesty, castrating the fire is a system that Emperor Taizu hated from the beginning of the incident, so he will strictly limit the number of eunuchs. And the celebrant can't break through the shackles of quantity, so he can't help but focus on quality. ”

"It's like the attendant I received...... He is excellent in character and learning, but he is unwilling to enter the palace as an internal servant. ”

Hearing this, the emperor finally couldn't hold back any longer: "Okay, there is no need to say it, this good hall, don't leave it to the celebrant anymore, but if it is still the same as before, don't blame me for taking it back!" As for the celebrant ...... If you go outside, you must first be inside, San Lang, you think about how to deal with it, this is a lesson I gave you! I've cleaned it up once, and I'm impatient to do it a second time! ”
