The fleet carried Zhu Di's hope and began to go to the Western Ocean vigorously.

Liu Chun's affairs are busy again, and his main task is to repair books...... The more than 100 books with names but no content were not deliberately put on purpose, but he really wanted to write.

After writing The Wealth of Nations, Liu Chun began to write The Theory of Sea Power, and at the same time, he began to write a book on the distribution of industrial and commercial profits, which was still under conception.

I heard that Liu Chun was going to write a book again, and the Royal Bookstore had already moved, and Zhu Hu, the king of Zhou, ran over every day to supervise the progress.

"Liu Chun, you have to write a book well, only if you write a book well, I can have the money to study the general situation!"

Zhu Lu frowned, since he operated on Shaharu, he has failed seven times in a row, although no one dares to go to the Zhou Wangfu and Zongren Courtyard to make trouble, but his aura of divine doctor has dimmed a lot.

Zhu urgently needs more research to support his medical career.

"The madman is here again." Zhu Zhanji looked inside the window, saw Zhu Hu, and was so frightened that he stuck out his tongue, turned around and ran.

It is also strange to say that Zhu Zhanji is notoriously bold, and at a young age, he dares to ride a horse and run around, even if he falls, he does not cry or make trouble, which makes Zhu Di very happy.

It's good to praise your grandson if you're fine.

But one thing descends one thing, Zhu Zhanji is afraid of Zhu Hu, he thinks that this fifth grandfather with a kind face and a bookish atmosphere is the most difficult one in the entire old Zhu family.

He was even worried that he would annoy Zhu Hu, so he would cut him into strips, sprinkle him with salt, and roast him in the fire, so that the child's meat was the most fragrant.

Zhu Zhanji didn't run far before he found a fat girl, walking with a smile, and behind the little girl, there was a good-looking child.

Zhu Zhanji's face was very dark, he was nothing before, and when Yu Qian moved in, the more he looked at it, the more unpleasant he became, and the more he looked at it, the more angry he became.

"Master is busy, what are you doing here?"

Yu Qian is slightly younger than Zhu Zhanji, but his demeanor is actually more stable than a little pig.

"I'm here to ask Master for something, since Master has something, then I'll come back later." After speaking, Yu Qian turned around to leave, and when he left, the little fat girl also turned her head, smiling and shouting, "Wait, wait for me." ”

Yu Qian didn't know what's going on, this fat girl who hates eggs likes to revolve around her, but he also knows that this is the master's daughter, that is, his junior sister, and those who are senior brothers must look like senior brothers.

So he reached out and pulled the little fat girl and left!

Zhu Zhanji's eyes widened, what is this?

I obviously came earlier and tried my best to coax her, why was this little girl abducted all of a sudden? It's infuriating!

Is it because you look dark?

Thinking of this, Zhu Zhanji had self-doubt for the first time, he sat on the threshold, held his chin, and seriously thought about the eternal problem of how to enhance his personal charm, and he couldn't extricate himself, even when the imperial grandfather came, he didn't even find out.

Zhu Di picked up Zhu Zhanji with one hand, grinned, and rubbed his grandson's black face with his old face full of beards.

"Yes, I'm a lot fatter."

Zhu Di hugged his grandson and walked into Liu Chun's study, "It turns out that the fifth brother is also there." Zhu Di sat down with a smile, and as soon as Zhu Zhanji saw the fifth grandfather, he was so frightened that he hurriedly broke free from Zhu Di's embrace, turned around and ran.

"What are you afraid of me for?" Zhu Hu touched his nose, "Am I that terrible?" ”

Liu Chun said helplessly: "You go out and ask, which child likes to take medicine when sick?" ”

Zhu Hu was helpless, so he had to quickly change the topic, he picked up a book manuscript and handed it to Zhu Di.

"Look, this is written by Liu Chunxin."

Zhu Di took it and looked at it slowly, Zhu Di looked at it for a while, and then his face was happy.

"Well, this book is well written, I love it!"

Liu Chun smiled and nodded, "Since Your Majesty said that it is good, the minister will revise and revise it again, and it will be published immediately." ”

Zhu Hu hurriedly said: "That's great, if I go back to the bookstore and make money, I can continue to study, I swear, I must save another one!" Even just one of them! ”

Hearing this oath, Zhu Di and Liu Chun both shivered subconsciously, I really don't know how many patients he will kill. Liu Chun also has no good way, medicine is like this, people say that a success will be a thousand bones, a famous general will climb out of the bones, and the same is true for famous doctors, even in later generations, with so much experience accumulation, a student wants to become a qualified doctor, he has to go through a lot of gross dissection!

Zhu Hu is completely facing the darkness, constantly groping, and making mistakes is inevitable. Fortunately, his identity is enough, if ordinary people did this, he would have been killed a long time ago.

"Your Majesty, how about we make a bet?"

Zhu Di smiled: "What do you want to bet on?" ”

"Just bet on how much the book will sell?"

Zhu Di made a straight face, he made a mistake last time and got 30,000 copies, but now The Wealth of Nations has sold almost 300,000 copies, which is ten times as much!

It's really hard to say how much this "Theory of Sea Power" can sell.

Zhu Di reprimanded: "Fifth brother, you are a prince, take the lead in betting, what kind of system will you become?" ”

Zhu Hu laughed and said: "Your Majesty, this is not right, between our brothers, what is there to bet on, besides, if Your Majesty wins, it will naturally be better." If Your Majesty loses, and the minister wins, it will only be used to study medicine, and in turn, it will also benefit the common people and His Majesty's people, and His Majesty will not suffer a loss. ”

As long as it mentions things related to medicine, Zhu Hu's brain is extremely flexible, and such a powerful reason makes Zhu Di unable to gamble.

You really have to think about it, how many copies can you sell?

Compared with "The Wealth of Nations", this "Treatise on Sea Power" seems much more secluded, and the dynasty has been on land for generations, and has little interest in the sea.

"Well, I estimate that within a month, I can sell 200,000 copies! There shouldn't be more. ”

Zhu Huan's eyes widened, "Your Majesty, seriously?" ”

Zhu Di looked at him, "Fifth brother, you don't want to secretly hoard and let me lose to you, right?" ”

Zhu Hu hurriedly waved his hand, "Your Majesty, I just have that heart, and I don't have that much money!" To tell you the truth, in order to convince the patient's family, I handed over the general situation to me for research, and I compensated 3,000 taels for each family! ”

Zhu Di snorted: "According to what you do, the medical skills have not been studied, and you have become a poor bastard first, and I want to find a way to hand over some vicious death row prisoners to you to deal with, how about it?" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhu Hu was overjoyed, but he was soon embarrassed: "Your Majesty, when studying medicine, you can't just be a minister, but you also need like-minded partners, especially for surgery, I need sharper knives, better fine threads, alcohol, salt water, and a clean room...... All in all, please bet on your majesty! ”

Zhu Di was quite serious at first, wanting to help Zhu Hu solve the difficulties, but in the end, he was angry.

What is this called?

Are you sure I'm going to lose?

"I'll bet 50,000 taels!" Zhu Di snorted: "But you remember for me, if any of you dare to hoard books without permission and create an illusion, my Jinyi Wei is not a vegetarian!" Have a good look at you! ”

After Zhu Di finished speaking, he snorted and left.

As soon as he left, Zhu Hu covered his stomach and laughed, laughing so much that tears came out.

"Liu Chun, I think Your Majesty should read your "Wealth of Nations" more, his business talent is too poor."

Liu Chun put down the pen and thought about it very seriously, "Don't do it, if Your Majesty is too smart, there will be no place to make money." ”

Zhu Hu hurriedly stretched out his thumb, high, sure enough, it was high!

Fifteen days later, in the warm spring breeze of February, Liu Shaofu's new work "On Sea Power" was published.

As soon as this book was launched, the entire capital was boiling.

You must know that the previous book has stunned too many people, and this time all the bookstores in the capital have started to put Liu Chun's works in the most conspicuous position.

These people thought they had made the best preparations, but they never expected that the surging crowd still exceeded the estimate, and there were long queues outside almost every bookstore.

Most of these people were young scholars, and on the first day alone, nearly 30,000 copies were swept away.

In the face of Jinyiwei's report, Zhu Di's brain hurts, and his heart hurts even more!

Looks like he's forgotten something!

Last year, he said that Yongle changed the yuan and wanted to open Enke, and now it is not far from the imperial examination, and the exams from various provinces have come one after another, and the number of people has exceeded tens of thousands!

These people alone are nothing, but they also have relatives and friends, as well as classmates.

Lord Liu's first book didn't catch up, and this second book can't be missed!

Therefore, many people bought ten or eight copies, and then hurriedly asked someone to send them back to their hometowns, and be sure to let the big guys understand Lord Liu's works as soon as possible to see what shocking theories there are.

The students who bought the book couldn't wait to unfold the "Theory of Sea Power" with the fragrance of ink.

When they looked at it, they were not calm for a moment.

The title of this book is "The Theory of Sea Power", but in fact it is a supplement to "The Wealth of Nations", because in the Wealth of Nations it mentions the division of labor and the efficiency...... Then comes the two most pressing questions, one is where the huge raw materials come from, and the other is the massive amount of goods, where is it going!

If these two problems cannot be solved, the result of the great development of industry and commerce will be like land annexation, which will develop to the extreme and collapse.

Liu Chun pointed out very clearly that the Ming Dynasty was very large, but based on the experience of previous dynasties, even under agricultural conditions, it was difficult for the Central Plains Dynasty to be self-sufficient.

So Liu Chun prescribed a prescription, looked for raw materials overseas, and exported goods overseas...... In order to do this, it is necessary to have sea power, maintain the smooth flow of maritime trade routes, and ensure the smooth exchange of goods.

"It is worthy of Lord Liu, it is really far-sighted and unparalleled in the world!"

"This is the theory of seeking the country!"

"Hahaha, we maritime merchants are no longer outlaws!"

"See, the life and death of the Ming Dynasty, the success or failure of the law change, are all tied to the shoulders of maritime merchants, and I have never been so happy in my life!"

……

At first, the main force of purchase was Juzi, but after three days, it became a merchant on the southeast coast, and they bought it one after another, worshipping it as a guide, and they were eager to make a shrine to offer.

Lord Liu really understands our minds so well!

"Your Majesty, within seven days, "The Theory of Sea Power" has been sold for twenty or twenty ......" Ji Gang stammered.

Zhu Di glared at him fiercely, "How much is twenty?" I'm very happy, you hurry up! ”

"Two hundred and fifty thousand, it seems that it will, it will surpass the previous one!"

Zhu Di gritted his teeth and laughed, "Hahaha, I am a great Ming educator, everyone loves to read, this is a good thing, a good thing!" ”

"I'm happy, I'm so happy!"

Ji Gang's heart was pounding, His Majesty wrinkled his eyebrows and glared, gritting his teeth, is this happy? No matter how you look at it, it's all about cannibalism!

Zhu Di finally calmed down, and when he saw that Ji Gang was still standing, his anger suddenly came up.

"What else are you looking at! Go buy a book! Buy a copy for all of you! ”

Ji Gang hurriedly agreed, and ran away with a roll. Zhu Di took a deep breath, didn't say anything, pulled his face, and went to the queen to ask for money!
