At the same time as the construction of Daming Science and Technology Institute, the second year of Daming Zhongxing also came.

Congratulatory message, Zhu Cihong reviewed the achievements of the first year of Zhongxing, defeated the Manchu Qing Dynasty, reformed the military system, and purged the salt government**, all of which indicate that the first year of Zhongxing will be an important year for the Ming Dynasty to rise again, and the Ming Dynasty has undergone unprecedented changes in this year.

Next is the annual banquet of 100 officials, which is celebrated by the whole world.

The first three days of the first month of the new year were all rested, and Zhu Cihong could rarely relax for three days.

Didn't do anything, just accompanied the empress and two concubines in the palace, but what made Zhu Cixun a little depressed was that after his efforts in sowing seeds for two or three months, Dong Xiaowan and Huang Ying were pregnant together half a month ago, and even the empress, who had just given birth for half a year, was diagnosed as pregnant on Chinese New Year's Eve, and now that it is good, the only three women are currently pregnant, and Zhu Cixun has been very depressed this year.

Coming out of Dong Xiaowan's Wanhua Palace, Zhu Cihong sighed.

"Does the emperor feel that the harem is empty, why don't you consider opening the draft after the festival and selecting the world's beauties to fill the harem." Zhao Dequan, the chief eunuch, had a very good eye, and immediately saw that Zhu Cihong had been holding back a lot recently, and immediately proposed.

Since he was punished by Zhu Cihong for being involved in the illicit salt case last time, Zhao Dequan has learned to be smart, put down all his careful thoughts, and followed Zhu Cihong wholeheartedly, always thinking about Zhu Cihong.

"You dog slave, your skin is itchy again, are you such an abusive person, I once promised the queen that there will be no more than five concubines in my harem, I am a talker, I warn you, if you dare to mention this kind of thing in the future, I will definitely kill you!" Zhu Cihong glared at Zhao Dequan viciously and scolded.

Although Zhu Cihong is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty and the supreme in the world, he has his own bottom line, and he counts when he speaks, especially what he said to his own woman, he will never deny it. It's just that he is also a normal man in the end, if the beauties in the world let him choose, he is afraid that he will not be able to control himself one day, so he has always avoided mentioning topics such as the draft as little as possible to tempt himself, otherwise if he really agrees casually as soon as his head is hot one day, wouldn't he break his promise and hurt the hearts of the three daughters of Queen Dong Xiaowan and Huang Ying, he will not allow himself to do this, then he will spit on himself.

Zhao Dequan knew that the emperor was not joking, and he was afraid that he would really anger the emperor, so he immediately lowered his head and took two steps back, saying that he didn't dare to say anything more.

Zhu Cihong snorted, flicked his cuffs, and walked in the direction of Qianqing Palace, the queen can't touch them, he also has two personal little palace maids of Lanxiang and Begonia, when he was still the prince, the two little girls were his roommates, although he once said that he would wait for the two little girls to turn seventeen before accepting them, and after the New Year, the two little girls were only sixteen, and there was still a year left, but it was still okay to ravage them to a limited extent, thinking of the soft and tender little hands of the two little girls, the corners of Zhu Cihong's mouth suddenly hooked a trace of evil smile.

The time soon came to the twelfth day of the first month of the second year of Zhongxing, before the Lantern Festival, the Daming Science and Technology Institute was finally completed, and all kinds of craftsmen from all over the country who came to participate in the competition also arrived one after another, and the competition was unified after the Lantern Festival.

There are nearly 100,000 craftsmen, and Zhu Cihong only realized a difficult problem at this time, that is, how to select these 100,000 craftsmen, and who to find to preside over the competition, the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Committee will definitely not be able to do it.

At this time, the commander of the Jinyi Guard made Peng Cheng come to the imperial study with a happy face.

"Aiqing, is there any happy event?" Zhu Cihong asked with a smile, whenever Peng Cheng came with such an expression, it would bring some exciting news.

"Back to the emperor, Song Yingxing has found it!" Peng Cheng arched his hand and said.

"What! Song Yingxing found it? Zhu Cihong was overjoyed, this is really exciting news.

Today, Zhu Cihong has sent Jinyiwei to find Song Yingxing for a year, and now he has finally found it, and someone sent the pillow just after dozing off, there is no doubt that Song Yingxing, who can write scientific and technological masterpieces such as Tiangong Kaiwu, is definitely the most suitable for presiding over the selection of craftsmen, and is also the most suitable national treasure-level talent for leading the Academy of Science and Technology.

"Bring him to me!" Zhu Cihong said eagerly.

"Yes!" Peng Cheng immediately retreated, and after a while, he took Song Yingxing into the palace and walked directly towards the imperial study.

Song Yingxing was extremely strange all the way, what was in a hurry to find him, and he didn't realize until he entered the palace that it was the emperor who was looking for him. In fact, although Song Yingxing came to participate in the competition of the Academy of Science and Technology, he was discovered by Jinyiwei before he stepped into Nanjing City, and then Jinyiwei directly reported to Peng Cheng, Peng Cheng immediately entered the palace to see the driver, and immediately went out of the palace to take Song Yingxing to see Zhu Cihong, it can be said that after Song Yingxing arrived in Nanjing City, he didn't even have time to drink a sip of water.

"You are Song Yingxing?" Zhu Cihong looked at an old man in gray clothes who was about fifty years old and dressed in gray that Peng Cheng had just brought in.

"Grass people Song Yingxing see the emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live!" Song Yingxing didn't even dare to raise his head, so he directly bowed and worshipped.

"Elder Song doesn't have to be polite, let's be flat!" For science and technology giants like Song Yingxing, who have gone down in history, Zhu Cihong does not dare to slack off.

"Emperor Xie!" Song Yingxing stood up, Zhu Cihong's attitude made Song Yingxing extremely impressed, and sighed that the current emperor is really as he thought, he is a broad-minded saint who treats people kindly, no wonder he can have such a vision and value the craftsmen of the world so much.

"Song Yingxing, I won't talk nonsense with you, I will appoint you as the director of the Academy of Science and Technology now, and let you preside over the selection of all kinds of craftsmen from the official position of Sanpin, are you willing!" As the emperor, Zhu Cihong doesn't need to be polite, and goes straight to the point.

Song Yingxing was stunned suddenly, a little at a loss, he didn't think that he was not capable of serving as the director of the Academy of Science and Technology, but was shocked by the director of the Academy of Science and Technology from the official position of Sanpin.

"How much emperor's grace, the minister Song Yingxing received the order!" In the end, he was not an ordinary person, Song Yingxing quickly came back to his senses, and generously responded to this position, with an extremely frank expression on his face, without any panic or ecstasy.

"Okay, hahahaha, it's worthy of Song Yingxing, so frank!" Zhu Cihong laughed and praised Song Yingxing's performance.

"However, how do you think that you must be capable of holding this position, so that you are not afraid that you will mess up and kill your head?" Suddenly, Zhu Cihong's voice changed, and he stared at Song Yingxing with a solemn face and said.

Zhu Cihong wanted to know how Song Yingxing would answer.

Peng Cheng, the commander of the Jinyi Guard on the side, was also curious about how Song Yingxing would answer, and couldn't help but look at Song Yingxing with interest, to say that they Jinyi Wei had been looking for this old man for a year, and listening to the reports of the people below, it was only discovered that this old man took the initiative to show up, and the emperor attached so much importance to it, it was difficult to be curious.
