The Ming Dynasty has a vast territory, spanning thousands of miles, and it is really not easy to gather all the local officials, and it is impossible to do it without half a year.

At this moment, it has only been less than ten days since the last magistrate to enter Beijing, and three months have passed since the earliest person entered Beijing.

But don't worry if you come early, or you come late.

They were deeply shocked by the development of the capital.

This shock does not come from the prosperity of the market, nor the width of the streets, the majesty of the walls, and the abundance of goods...... Although these are also beyond their imagination. But the most important thing is the change of atmosphere.

In their opinion, it seems that every ordinary person in the capital has become an economic animal, even if the small people in the market and the hawkers in taverns and teahouses also open their mouths and close their mouths, talking about the stock exchange, the prices in the market, and the promotion of overseas...... Don't think they're talking nonsense, ask carefully, and many people will be able to tell the truth.

The former Shinong industry and commerce have been completely broken.

As the head of the four peoples, the merchant is no longer blindly worshipped. At least the people know that if you want to get rich, don't want to be an official, and don't get rich if you want to be an official.

More and more successful businessmen are admired and praised, and their stories often appear in newspapers.

All in all, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, everyone wants to make money.

Looking at these people, the first impression is: vulgar!

It's vulgar to the extreme!

Just thinking about money, what about your poems and distant places?

Isn't the doctor silent?

Isn't it a happy way to live in poverty?

Isn't it particular about not bending your waist for five buckets of rice?

Why did you forget it all?

It's a shame for the readers!

But if you stay for a long time, the big guy will gradually figure it out...... In fact, many things are false, in the final analysis, if you want to live well, don't you just want to make more money?

Therefore, many magistrates bought The Wealth of Nations and prepared to take it home and study it.

And right in front of them, the Han King Zhu Gaoxu staged a wealth myth.

The appearance of a new type of gunpowder actually pushed the stock of Royal Science to dizzying heights in an instant. Zhu Gaoxu's wealth exceeded the income of the household department overnight, and he was truly rich enough to rival the country!

But this kind of wealth is not obtained by robbery, nor by exploitation, nor by greed for ink, but by invention and science!

At this moment, the word science really deeply penetrated into the hearts of the magistrates.

"I invited the big guy to Beijing just to talk about Xingxue. I originally planned to invest 50 million taels, but ......" Zhu Di paused here, and the hearts of all the officials were raised.

You don't want to reduce your investment, do you?

That's not going to work!

Zhu Di's gaze swept over everyone's faces, and when he found that everyone was anxious, he smiled and said:

"After much consideration, I decided to increase the investment by 30 million, and the first batch of investment will reach 80 million taels!"

Rumble!

The power of this sentence is more than ten times more violent than the explosion in Hanwang's laboratory!

Eighty million taels!

How much is that?

Based on the calculation of the 2,000 people present, an average score can be divided into 40,000 taels for a county.

In fact, in many remote states and counties, the annual income is not so much, and His Majesty has taken out so much money in one go, all of which is used to build schools, this determination is simply boundless.

Zhu Di is light and light on the surface, but he is dripping blood in his heart.

It is 80 million taels, if it is used to fight, it is enough for him to launch ten offensives against the grassland, and it is not a problem to expand the land for thousands of miles.

With this merit alone, he is enough to shine in the annals of history and become an emperor on a par with Emperor Qin and Han Wu.

There is a damn Liu Chun, who has to talk nonsense in his ear.

said that although the Han and Tang Dynasties were strong and had merit in expanding the land, they could not last long after all.

In the final analysis, it is to lay the land, but not to hold the territory.

If you want to occupy the territory for a long time, you must have enough scientific talents, and only by mastering the scientific skills can you find enough wealth to support the army in areas with relatively harsh climates, so that it becomes profitable to expand the land.

And science can also shorten the distance between regions, establish a fast transportation network, and go wherever you want.

If this is done, the command of the battle will be like an arm's command, and he will do whatever he wants.

Only in this way can we truly take control of the new land.

……

After this meal of ecstasy soup was poured down, Zhu Di was also confused, and he really believed Liu Chun's nonsense. At the expense of money, he began to invest in education.

Now that Zhu Di thinks about it, it's a bit ridiculous, when did he become so gullible?

If it weren't for the explosion caused by Zhu Gaoxu, maybe Zhu Di would have regretted it.

What's even more annoying is Zhu Gaoxu, Zhu Di asked in private, is science reliable?

How do you know that Zhu Gaoxu turned his face, the dignified emperor, he doesn't believe in science, do you want to believe in the theory of gods and ghosts? The new type of explosives has given ordinary people the power of a god like a thunderbolt.

Now Tao Chengdao is leading, and there is a group of people studying new power, hoping to make the ship more capable, and even without relying on sails and the direction of ocean currents, it can travel thousands of miles and transport goods of hundreds of thousands of stones......

Zhu Di felt that his second son was completely crazy, and he was not crazy, the ship did not rely on sails, could it just rely on the waves?

How can a good child become like this in Liu Chun's hands?

is not only the second child, but even the fifth brother Zhu Hu is also virtuous.

Now that he sees Zhu Gaoxu's stock listed, he is also planning to list the medical school, and then raise funds for more in-depth research.

Zhu Di looked around, either he was a scientific madman, or he was a bastard who made money from these madmen!

It seems that there is not even a normal person left, all of them are made by Liu Chun, and he is really angry.

complained in his heart, but he couldn't bring it out on the surface. Zhu Di said with confidence: "This study is an unprecedented feat, with an investment of 80 million taels, I hope that within three years, 5 million children will be able to enroll in school!" ”

Another super pie.

Anyway, all the officials are numb, and it's hard to say anything.

At present, the literacy rate of the Ming Dynasty is less than 10 percent, that is to say, the total number of readers in the entire Ming Dynasty is less than 5 million. This is still accumulated by Zhu Yuanzhang through 30 years of painstaking management.

And Zhu Di wants to completely surpass Zhu Yuanzhang's 30 years of efforts within three years, he really dares to think.

"You have to be clear about one thing, education is not a toy for scholars, it is to be popularized to every people, I hope that in ten or twenty years, everyone in my Ming Dynasty will be literate and can read. You must be clear that the funds I give you for school education are not for you to train prodigies, nor for you to choose some talented people to fool around! I want to look at the enrollment rate in each place, and look at the literacy rate in each place. These will become important aspects of your evaluation in the ministry, and it can even be said that as long as you fail to learn, no matter how good you do in other aspects, you will be classified as inferior! ”

"I will do what I say I will be, and I will not show mercy."

"Also, although there is a lot of money for this study, you must also know that every penny must be spent on the blade. If anyone dares to use it indiscriminately, or fill their own pockets, hehe......" Zhu Di sneered: "Xingxue is for the future of all children, and indiscriminate use is to ruin the future of others, since you don't take other people's futures seriously, I won't care about your future!" ”

"It doesn't matter who it is, as long as it is caught, it will definitely be severely punished, and it will never be tolerated, and if you make a mistake in Xingxue, the crime will be added to the third degree!"

Local officials trembled and panicked to the extreme.

Zhu Di is not joking when he speaks, this Yongle Tianzi can really do it, not to mention anything else, there are so many officials, haven't they just been assigned overseas?

The wharf was no joke.

Zhu Di is different from the honest Zhu Yunwen, it is simply Zhu Yuanzhang's rebirth, and even surplus. In the face of such a son of heaven, it is best to clamp his tail and be a man, especially when there is an even more difficult Jinyi guard commander next to him.

Zhu Di took advantage of the banquet to reprimand hundreds of officials and arrange for the revitalization of the school.

This incident is the biggest news in Beijing recently, so all the newspapers were busy overnight, preparing to invent the early front-page headlines.

In one of the rooms, there was a thin middle-aged man who was proofreading the manuscript word for word. If there is a mistake, it will be corrected immediately.

He works very seriously, and since he joined the company, he has never made a mistake in the past year. And often work overtime, hard work.

For this, the newspaper also gave him a special reward.

This person has no hobbies, except for work every day, he goes home to study, and lives a monotonous two-point one-line life. At first, the big guy thought that he had a fierce wife at home, for fear of making his wife angry!

But gradually the big guy knew that this person was still single, and it seemed that he had a mother-in-law, but he was burned to death.

Therefore, many enthusiastic people in the newspaper wanted to introduce him to a daughter-in-law, but this person politely declined.

Today, he worked overtime again and did not leave quietly until dawn.

Walking in a secluded alley, this person's steps are light.

Suddenly, someone came from the other direction and collided with him, and when he walked forward again, he had an extra wax pill in his hand.

When he returned to his residence, he hurriedly unfolded it, and there was a note inside: Talon Sun smelled it, go quickly!

The middle-aged man threw the note onto the candlestick and turned into a wisp of smoke.

"Alas, Fourth Uncle, Master, your nose is really smart, I'm just a waste, is it worth your effort?" The middle-aged man was stunned for another moment, seemed to think of where to go, and couldn't help but chuckle.

"Master, speaking of which, I also want to thank you for your teaching, along with science, the disciple also has some ability, although it is not as good as Zhu Gaoxu, but it is more than enough to be a teacher, I don't believe it, you can still find me!"

After speaking, the middle-aged man blew out the candles, packed up a few clothes, wrapped them up, and walked away.

At dawn, Jin Yiwei rushed to the newspaper office and found a lot of things, all of which had traces of alteration.

"This is the handwriting of the puppet emperor, he really didn't die, and he was hiding in the capital, what a big guts!" Luo Feng gritted his teeth, "Go, hurry up and investigate, you must catch him!" ”
