The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 1217

[1217. Chapter 1162 Brave New World]

Zhu Chongshou yelled.

Others were a little anxious.

We are all descendants of Emperor Taizu Gao, why are you so hot-tempered and unsociable?

Zhu Youqi and Zhu Yueqi looked at each other and smiled bitterly in their hearts.

Now some princes and clan members have bought mansions one after another.

To be honest, for the sake of such a mansion, everyone almost invested their lives in it.

Everything becomes chaotic if you care about it.

Think about it, if the land nearby is deserted and no one buys the house you bought, it would be okay, but the price of the house will fall.

Looking at other places, housing prices have increased more than where I bought them. Why? Isn’t it just that the total price here is higher?

When they thought about this, Zhu Yueqi and Zhu Youqi were both anxious. Well, you Xishan Jianye sold the mansion and just ignored it. Okay, your dog surnamed Fang is very good. If you can, we… let’s go and get people to buy it.

“Brother Wang… be careful…” Zhu Youqian said earnestly: “Now that the deal is done, what’s the point of talking about this? Besides, walls have ears. If His Majesty hears it, I’m afraid he will be unhappy. Now while the price is still decent, sell it quickly. What are you doing for this moment? You are the head of the family, and you cannot use your own children to do so. Besides, when you move in, everyone will take care of you. We are all great ancestors. The descendants of the emperor must be taken care of. “

Zhu Youqian is the emperor’s brother, and now he is ordered to coordinate the affairs of the clan members who come to the capital. He is somewhat of a patriarch among the clans and has the Zongzheng power of the Zongling Mansion. , what he said still works, everyone has to take care of each other, but if you don’t know the truth, don’t blame me for turning against others.

Zhu Youping’s expression softened again, and he squinted his eyes: “A few days ago, I heard Fang Jifan muttering…”

“What are you muttering about?” Upon hearing the word Fang Jifan, Zhu Chongshou became angry.

Zhu Youqi had a good time: “He said that some clan members misunderstood him and he was very angry. If he got angry, don’t let him put a gold knife in the room of this ignorant guy.”

Damn it…

Zhu was still angry just now .

Chongshu was confused.

Is that human being?

This is something like a dog.

No more royal methods?

He is a relative, how dare he do such a thing?

The golden sword can only be used by the royal family. It should be hidden in the homes of ordinary clan members. If it is not given by His Majesty, it is rebellion.

This is tantamount to frame-up.

Does he have the courage?

But… Zhu Chongshu discovered a terrible problem.

The bitch named Fang is really a person who can do anything. This guy has no shame and no bottom line, but His Majesty still trusts him.

Zhu Chongshu felt that his heart was broken…

Zhu Youqian pulled a face and said angrily: “I was angry when I heard this. How dare he? Humph, you can stop me and I will kill him. So, you don’t have to worry, this guy is just joking.”

Zhu Chongshu said subconsciously: “He doesn’t dare to challenge King Xing. Brother Wang, you are His Majesty’s brother. He has the courage, but… …”

But other people… are different.

It is said that they are relatives of the emperor, descendants of Emperor Taizu Gao. These descendants are still related to each other. For example, Zhu Chongshu, although he is the king of Liao, his ancestor is Emperor Taizu Gao. His fifteenth son is five or six generations away from His Majesty. How many blood relationships are there left?

Zhu Yueqi sighed at the side: “Hey, people have good fortunes and misfortune. Now that I have come to the capital… it is better to be more safe. Now that I have entered the capital, I am just a turtle in the urn. Why do I have any airs? Living a good life is better than anything else. Liao King, let’s talk about it. We are cousins. Just buy this mansion and don’t think about it anymore. You can’t go back to your vassal.”

Zhu Chongshou lowered his head and bit his lip in silence.

A group of people sighed.

Finally, Zhu Chongshu stood up and said, “I’ll make an appointment with Wang Jinyuan tomorrow to talk.”

Suddenly, Zhu Youqi and Zhu Yueqi cheered up, and the eyes of several other county princes also shone.

…………

at night.

The full moon is in the sky.

This is the mansion of Prince Xing with its carved beams and painted buildings.

Zhu Youqian’s concubine was half-lying on the couch, her delicate body half-covered, her skin that could be broken by blows looming, looking very alluring under the red candle.

“Your Highness…” She whispered softly, with a pitiful tone, and her seductive eyes stared directly at Zhu Youqi.

She was Zhu Youqian’s favorite concubine, and she stayed with her most of the night a year.

But Zhu Youqian seemed uneasy, and now he was not interested in her temptation. He only said perfunctorily: “Just wait, don’t be impatient.”

“Your Highness, what are you doing? I’m already sleepy. “The side concubine poked out a pink leg with skin as thick as gel from the brocade quilt, hanging in the air, rippling like a fish swimming in water.

Zhu Youyi turned a blind eye to this and turned a deaf ear. He held a candlestick in his hand and stood on the small table beside him.

Then, he put down the candlestick, took out a small book from his sleeve, and spread it out.

He said vaguely: “What did you say?” He

gently touched the tip of his tongue with his finger, and then opened the book with his finger. In the book, there were countless names written densely.

He turned to the fourth page with familiarity. On this fourth page, the name of Liao Wang Zhu Chongshu was written. He picked up his pen and gently made a cross on the three characters Zhu Chongshu.

The next one is…

He squinted and looked at the words “Zhou Wang Zhu Mu” clearly written under Zhu Chongzhi.

His eyes suddenly flashed with light, and he was thinking about Zhu Mu’s temperament and hobbies. He seemed to have some confidence in his heart, and he smiled.

“Your Highness… come here, it’s so late at night, it’s not serious.”

“Oh, here it comes, here it comes.” Zhu Youqian frowned, looking impatient, carefully closed the book, stuffed it back into his sleeve, and then fell into a trance. He raised his head in a daze and said, “Come here and undress me.”

A eunuch had already come in from outside to undress Zhu Youqi.

Zhu Youqi turned over on the couch, and the eunuch tiptoed, blew out the lamp, and retreated.

in the dark.

There was a rustling sound.

But I heard Zhu Youqian’s solemn and upright voice: “Didn’t you agree to sleep? Don’t mess around.”

“Your Highness, you have changed. Since you came to the capital, you…”

“I have serious things to do tomorrow. I have an appointment with the King of Zhou. “I’m tired, I’m going to bed.”

“Your Highness…” The sweet voice became more resentful.

“You have long hair and short knowledge, don’t make any noise.”

Soon, thunderous snoring came from the dormitory.

…………

Fang Jifan sorted out all the information happily.

After confirming that the steamship had a clue, he breathed a long sigh of relief.

If technology advances further and the ship no longer relies on sea wind and ocean currents, but real power, then… the time of sea transportation will be greatly shortened.

I haven’t seen my father for several years, and I don’t know if he is doing well or not. Even if it’s a letter, it’s hard to see him all year round.

Thinking of this, Fang Jifan felt that everything was worth it.

He entered the palace excitedly to report the good news.

When I got to the palace, I remembered that His Majesty was listening to Na Zhan’s lecture in the newly built Chongwen Hall.

It’s just that Yan Tao is different now.

In the past, it was the bachelors of the Imperial Academy who gave the lectures, but now it is the Imperial Academy on one side and the Academy of Sciences on the other.

First, the Imperial Academy taught the Four Books and Five Classics. Later, the academicians of the Academy of Sciences began to teach the latest astronomy, geography, and knowledge of industry, commerce, and agriculture.

At first, the academicians were furious. They thought it was unbelievable and vulgar. How could they teach something so unrefined?

But gradually, under His Majesty’s insistence, although they scolded them fiercely, they could not twist their legs with their arms.

Fang Jifan went to Chongwen Hall and bowed. He saw that Emperor Hongzhi was in high spirits today and was listening intently to the discoveries made by Zhang Xin, a bachelor of the Academy of Sciences, on pest control.

Emperor Hongzhi only glanced at Fang Jifan, nodded to him, motioned him to stand aside, and asked: “Since Zhang Qing’s family has a special insecticide, why not promote it immediately?” “

Zhang Xin replied: “Your Majesty, the medicine has just come out and the price is a bit high, so…”

Emperor Hongzhi was very dissatisfied: “Since the cost is high and it is useless to the people, then… why should I make it? Look, it is better to be economical and practical.”

Zhang Xin said calmly: “But Your Majesty, it is not practical now, but in the future, when the cost is low, it can be promoted. If we don’t start researching it now, we will never do it. With pesticides, everything is difficult at the beginning, but as long as you get a good start, you can benefit future generations…”

Emperor Hongzhi smiled brightly: “I see, it seems that I am confused, you are an expert in agriculture, these things. “You can make your own decision. If you have any good suggestions, please send them directly to me. I will eventually make the decision for you.”

Zhang Xin bowed and said, “Thank you.”

At first, Zhang Xin was not willing to come to the Academy of Sciences. In his opinion, the Academy of Sciences is just an institution of the imperial court and does not provide much help to agriculture.

But slowly, he tasted the sweetness.

I won’t go into detail about organizing scientific research and formulating plans for the Academy of Sciences.

The most important ones are the instructions and the attendants.

This is an opportunity to meet the Holy Spirit at any time. If you have any ideas, you will have the opportunity to report them to His Majesty and win His Majesty’s support.

Although he lost a backbone of agricultural research because he was in the Academy of Sciences, there are plenty of people to do these things.

But here I can win His Majesty’s support for agricultural research at any time. This is of great benefit to agricultural research. I am afraid that the research of a thousand school captains and powerful men will not be as good as my role in the Academy of Sciences. .

In addition to sorting out some agricultural research every day, he now provides a directional thing for the Tuntian Guards, which is to popularize agricultural knowledge to people every day and explain agricultural issues to His Majesty.

………………

I recommend a book, the new book “Full-time Medical Saint” by the great god Xia Yanbing. I won’t go into details about the introduction. It is a veteran great god and has quality assurance.
