Liu Chun did not get involved in this royal banquet, but he always paid attention to all kinds of news and stared at the changes in the government and the opposition.

First of all, the most gratifying thing is all the artisan groups.

Being able to go to the Fengtian Palace for a banquet and eat a royal banquet is enough to be used as a lifetime of bragging rights.

Secondly, the Son of Heaven shaved his hair and showed people with short hair, which is undoubtedly a preference for craftsmen. So at the moment when Zhu Di took off the Yishan crown, all the craftsmen's eyes were red, and they knelt on the ground, crying bitterly, grateful to Dade.

Many people don't understand, to show that they value craftsmen, there are many ways, the royal family takes the lead in shaving hair, what is this, the thousand-year-old tradition has been changed, how much impact will it bring, is it worth it?

But in Liu Chun's view, it is not only worthwhile, but also very necessary. There are some things that really can't be measured in money. When it comes to making money, the easiest thing is probably the entertainment industry, do you want everyone to sharpen their heads and sing and dance rap?

If you want to encourage young people to join the army, you need to design military uniforms beautifully, which is the Führer's measure...... If you want the brightest minds to devote themselves to science and promote the development of industry, you must make their every move become the object of imitation by others, including hairstyles!

Therefore, the shock brought by the shaving of the Son of Heaven is far more than hundreds of millions of bonuses, and the value is incalculable. Within a few years, the young generation of the entire Ming Dynasty, when choosing a professional direction, most of them will be like the royal family, maybe in twenty or thirty years, there will be millions of engineers on the land of the Central Plains, and at that point, it will not be far from the small goal of global unification.

Of course, it is not enough to have spiritual encouragement, but also to come up with real money.

Therefore, Zhu Gaochi made a fund of three million taels and announced the establishment of the Daming Science and Technology Progress Award.

Then Zhu Di came forward and announced a detailed plan.

Every year, 300,000 taels of interest will be taken out as a bonus, including one first prize, 100,000 taels, 10 second prizes, 10,000 taels each, and 50 third prizes, 2,000 taels each.

Moreover, Zhu Di also announced that another 300,000 taels would be allocated from the treasury in the first year, and the bonus would be doubled!

This series of explosive news shook the entire Ming Dynasty.

All the craftsmen, full of wine and food, puffed their chests, came out of the Fengtian Temple, there is no doubt that at this moment they are the most respected and envied group in the entire Ming Dynasty.

With a high income and status, he is even better than the former scholars!

Everywhere I went, there were people with envious eyes, and parents took their children and pointed at them to learn like these uncles.

I can't learn anything else, and it's not difficult to change my hairstyle.

As a result, many people start to shave their hair actively.

Of course, don't expect to be able to do it all at once, in fact, there are many conservative and traditional people who resist change and resolutely oppose shaving.

For example, Song Li, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, shaved his hair and returned home, but he met his father head-on, and the old lady Song was holding a cane in his hand, and King Kong was angry.

"Rebel, if you dare to shave your hair, don't enter the house, get out, get out of me!"

As soon as Song Li was about to explain, the old man swung his cane and hit him.

His father's crutches were made of cypress, and they were as strong as iron, and if he were to be taken suddenly, he would either die or be injured! Frightened, Song Li turned around and ran away, and fled back to the duty room of the Ministry of Engineering in embarrassment.

This one didn't even dare to go home.

"Taifu, you hurt me a lot!"

Liu Chun specially came to condolences to Song Li, and after meeting, this dignified second-grade Shangshu cried like a two-hundred-pound child.

"Taifu, my father doesn't recognize me as a son, I have a family now, how can you let me be good?"

Liu Chun groaned: "I said Lord Song, why don't you let me go to your mansion and talk to Ling Zun." ”

"Don't!"

Song Li hurriedly stopped, "Taifu, I won't hide it from you, my father's temper, no one can stand it, if it was a few years earlier, he would have broken my leg by watching me shave my hair." Now he can't move, I'll stay in the duty room, when, he's gone, I'm going back. ”

"That'...... How long do you estimate it will take for the old man to be angry? ”

"It's hard to say...... Don't think about three days or two days, three months, five months, or even a year and a half! ”

Liu Chun looked at Song Li's appearance, and he was also very sad.

When the official system is adjusted, it is most necessary to work together, and there is also the matter of Miyun Reservoir, so you can't let the Ministry of Industry take a break!

"Song Shangshu, does Ling Zun have any preferences, or who does he prefer?"

Song Li sighed: "If a gentleman hugs his grandson or not his son, who else can he like?" I like my son! That kid is really good, and he takes the first place in the academy every time...... Taifu, if I don't bring him, you see, just take him! ”

Liu Chun didn't take Song Li's stubble, he was a first-class member, and he was also a disciple of the sect, which was really inappropriate. And the light grades are good, but you can't enter the wall of Liu's house......

"Lord Song, let me give you an idea, you can ask Ling Lang to respond to the school's request and take the initiative to shave his hair, so that maybe Ling Zun will be able to raise his noble hand."

When Song Li heard this, he was overjoyed, Taifu's idea was really good, he nodded immediately, this time there was a way to deal with his father.

The next day, Liu Chun came to inquire about the results again, and what was waiting for him was a father and son, two unlucky eggs.

Song Li's head was red and swollen, and the little guy's eyes were bruised.

"Taifu, our father and son are wronged!"

Liu Chun was speechless, this old Song Tou is really stubborn!

"Song Shangshu, I'm too busy right now. Otherwise, let Ling Lang go to Jiaotong University to find Yu Qian, let him accept apprentices on his behalf, and guide Ling Lang's studies, if he can, even if he is my disciple. ”

As soon as Song Li heard Liu Chun say this, he quickly asked his son to kneel, "Quick, meet Master!" ”

The little guy was quite well-behaved, and hurriedly kowtowed, "Disciple to meet the teacher, may the teacher be healthy and live a long life for a hundred years." ”

Liu Chun looked at the little guy, his eyebrows were clear, and he was really good.

"Get up, the apprenticeship will not be given, and when you pass the assessment of Senior Brother Yu Qian, let's talk about it."

Yoo Chun left.

Song Li suddenly covered his mouth and laughed, smug.

Daddy, Daddy!

Your old man is really tall, or how to say it, there is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure. This trick is really wonderful, it is effortless, and it is not too easy to come by mixing the position of a Taifu protégé!

"Stinky boy, you listen to me, show your true skills, I can hear it, Taifu attaches great importance to Yu Qian, you have to remember that the county officials are not as good as the current management, and serving your senior brother well is better than anything else." Look at what this means, in the future, your father's black gauze hat will still rely on you boy! ”

……

Not to mention that the Song family's father and son were secretly happy, Liu Chun went to other ministers to take a look.

After shaving his hair, the awkward mood is still there, but overall, it is quite controllable, at least no one has written to resign. After turning around, Liu Chun returned to Wenyuan Pavilion, and next to him was the cabinet.

The six university scholars are still racking their brains for the matter of shaving their hair and changing customs.

After all, they are not Xie Jin and Wu Zhong, and it is too difficult to write this kind of thing.

"Taifu, my family just told me that some people in the market say that the Ming Dynasty is a country with bald heads, just like a temple. There are also people who say that the Western Han Dynasty has nine temples, and there are monks today, you listen, how ugly this is to say! ”

Hu Guang sighed, and several other people had sad faces.

The so-called nine temples are the names of the official offices that have been inherited since ancient times, and in the Ming Dynasty, there are Dali Temple, Honglu Temple, Taifu Temple and so on...... The history is older than the monasteries of monks and nuns. As a result, people say that there are monks today, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty have become monks, what is this like?

"Taifu, this is quite polite, some people say that the Manchu Dynasty is full of unfilial sons, and no one has a conscience. We are ashamed. Jin Youzi also complained.

Liu Chun smiled dumbly, "If you complain, you will complain, there is no place to live, just stay in this Wenyuan Pavilion, if you are still angry, I will arrest the rumor-mongers and send them to Dongfan Island one by one, what do you think?" ”

"Not how!" Yang Rong said directly with a bitter face: "If we really do this, our reputation will be even more stinky." ”

Yang Pu sighed: "Alas, I can only rely on time, I hope I can get used to it in a few days." ”

They lamented for a while and continued to write articles, but at this time, Yang Shiqi rushed back, and he was also on an errand in the Ministry of Rites, so he was busier than others.

Coming in from the outside, Yang Shiqi had an iron old face, as if he owed him eight million.

"Everyone, it's really too deceitful......" He saw Liu Chun at a glance, held back the words behind, and hurriedly gave Liu Chun a salute, "I've seen Taifu!" ”

Liu Chun smiled indifferently, "What's wrong?" Who made you angry? ”

Yang Shiqi sighed and said, "Taifu, many envoys from foreign domains have come to the Ministry of Rites today. Among them, the most excessive are the Japanese and Korean...... Especially North Korea! Even the name of the country was given by Taizu, and he even told me that the Ming Dynasty changed his clothes and shaved his short hair, so he was not worthy of calling himself Huaxia...... They are 3,000 miles of splendid little China, and now they can get rid of the small characters! ”

As soon as Yang Shiqi said this, the other members of the cabinet also stood up.

"What a bold man, I think North Korea is simply impatient." Yang Rong scolded angrily.

Yang Shiqi said: "Things can't be said like this, in the final analysis, we shaved our hair first, and such a big thing, without explaining it to the vassals, will inevitably cause instability." I mean to ask them to go to the factory and see what my purpose is in shaving my hair. Clear up misunderstandings and make them understand Daming's approach. ”

Yang Shiqi said, peeking at Liu Chun, and found that this Taifu Master was smiling playfully, which made Yang Shiqi shiver.

"Taifu, the lower official just said that, if the Taifu thinks it's inappropriate......"

Liu Chun smiled, and smiled extremely sincerely, frankly, and generously!

"Mr. Yang, North Korea is not satisfied with small words, if you want to become China, you should fulfill them! And why turn it away? ”

Yang Shiqi was stunned for a moment, "What does Taifu mean?" ”

"It's very simple, just two words: send troops!"

Yes!

When the six cabinet members heard this, they were all dumbfounded, they want to fight North Korea?

What is the reason? Shave your hair!

This is probably the most bizarre reason for war in the past, can this work?
