    "After everyone heard what Fang Congzhe said, they all admired in their hearts. He was indeed an old fox, capable of taking and giving up. He directly dragged Dongchang in. Even if something happened, it would be easy to find someone to support him!

    Zhu Youxiao naturally knew what Fang Congzhe was thinking. He smiled calmly and said, "I think it's not enough to send Dongchang there. The Inspection Office also has to send people there. At the same time, the cabinet and the Supervisor of Ceremonies have to check the accounts regularly. I will also send people there at any time."  Send someone to investigate secretly to prevent anyone from causing trouble. The Ministry of War will also write a letter to Xiong Tingbi, telling him that even if the mutual market does not belong to the Ministry of War, he cannot neglect the defense and anti-smuggling of the mutual market. You'd better remember that the mutual market has  If anything goes wrong, I will take the blame for it!"

    Zhang Weixian, Fang Congzhe, and Yang Lian quickly saluted and said, "I understand!"

    Zhu Youxiao emphasized again: "Don't think that I value the mutual market so much just for the mere millions of taels of silver. To be honest, that little money is just better than nothing for me. What I really value is the mutual market versus the Raiders of the Grassland.  The herdsmen on the grasslands make a living by grazing, and other daily necessities they need need to be provided by our Ming Dynasty. As long as the mutual trade is done well, those grassland tribes will move closer to our Ming Dynasty. Over time, they will naturally cooperate with the Ming Dynasty.  We and the Ming Dynasty no longer distinguish each other. Only by truly mastering the herdsmen can the Ming Dynasty master the grassland. As long as it masters the grassland, the Ming Dynasty can not only solve the northern threats that the Central Plains has faced for thousands of years, but also expand outward along the grassland. I am so  I say this to remind you not to ruin the long-term peace and stability of the Ming Dynasty and the Chinese nation for your own selfish purposes, otherwise you will be nailed to the pillar of shame in history!"

    After hearing these words, Zhang Weixian, Fang Congzhe, and Yang Lian once again attached great importance to the mutual market, and they secretly determined that no matter what, this mutual market must be run well, otherwise they might be ruined because of this matter.  !

    After solving the problems of military pay and mutual market ownership, Zhu Youxiao said to Liu Yishui: "Mr. Liu Ge, next year I plan to open two schools, one is the Ming Dynasty Royal Military Academy, and the other is the Ming Dynasty Royal Gwu Academy. The matter of the military academy  You don¡¯t have to worry about it, but I hope that you can also serve as the dean of Gewu Academy!¡±

    Liu Yishen also didn¡¯t understand what the Institute of Gewu was. He pondered for a moment and said: ¡°Your Majesty, although I have achieved universal knowledge with your Majesty¡¯s advice, I really don¡¯t know anything about Gewu. If I become the dean of the Institute of Gewu,  I¡¯m afraid it will delay His Majesty¡¯s important event!¡±

    Zhu Youxiao shook his head and said: "Mr. Liu Ge is worrying too much. The study of things is originally one of the important theories of Confucianism. Since Universal Studies emphasizes seeking truth and restoring ancient ways, then the study of things must be done by you, the master of Universal Studies, and  You just need to register your name at Gewu Academy, and I will send someone to take care of the specific matters!"

    Liu Yishen saw that Zhu Youxiao had said this, so he could only respond: "Old minister, I obey the order!"

    In fact, the matter of investigating things is extremely important in Confucianism. In the "Book of Rites and Great Learning", there are eight principles: investigating things, improving knowledge, sincerity, righteousness, self-cultivation, regulating the family, governing the country, and bringing peace to the world. However, many people are not familiar with it.  The four eyes of self-cultivation, family management, country management, and world peace are very familiar, but the four eyes of investigating things, seeking knowledge, sincerity, and righteousness are not well understood.

    In fact, this is also caused by Confucianism turning from fiction to reality in the development process. After all, in the eyes of the ancients, the study of things, knowledge, sincerity, and righteousness are too vague. Wang Yangming, the master of the mind study, planned to start from the study of things when he was young. As a result, this person stared at it all the time.  After looking at the bamboo for seven days, I still couldn't find the truth of heaven in the bamboo!

    Later generations' understanding of the Confucian study of things actually tends to rely on Western scientific concepts. However, there is no clear answer to this question. A sage can reach knowledge from the study of things, reach sincerity from knowledge, and reach a righteous heart from sincerity.  Then to cultivate one's morality, manage one's family, govern the country, and bring peace to the world. Perhaps the saint's understanding is far superior to that of ordinary people, or maybe this is just an ideal state of the saint!

    However, what Zhu Youxiao wants to do is not to really understand what the saint's grid is about, but to put on the painting of grid, introduce Western scientific concepts into the Ming Dynasty, and let this concept that changes the direction and pattern of the world,  It took root and sprouted in Ming Dynasty, and then grew into a towering tree!

    It was with this idea in mind that Zhu Youxiao decided to let Liu Yizhen, a newly minted Confucian master, serve as the dean of the Ming Dynasty Royal Academy of Gewu. His purpose was to wear the Confucian hat and follow the path of developing science and technology.  .

    Seeing that Liu Yishen agreed to be the dean, Zhu Youxiao changed the subject and asked, "Mr. Liu Ge, how are things going at the public school now?"

    Zhu Youxiao wanted to implement free compulsory education throughout the Ming Dynasty. Liu Yishen had always been responsible for it, because after Liu Yishen was established as a master of popular science, he needed to expand his influence, so Zhu Youxiao put this  An effortless but pleasing task was entrusted to him precisely becauseThis matter, in just one year, Liu Yishen's reputation has directly risen several levels.

    Therefore, when Liu Yishen heard Zhu Youxiao ask about this matter, his face showed a smile unconsciously, and he leaned forward and said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the money for the public school is provided by the palace, with the help of the township schools, county schools, and government schools that have been formed in various places.  The implementation went smoothly, but some villagers are ignorant and unwilling to send their children to public schools in order to make more labor for the family. This kind of thing always requires your consent, so it is not easy to handle! "

    At this time, Li Jinzhong, who was serving on the side, said: "Your Majesty, Lu Qingping, the eunuch of Nanjing, heard that your Majesty wanted to open schools in a wide range of places, so he used his own money to build more than a dozen public schools around Nanjing. In order to allow the villagers to  The children were sent to public schools, and he also paid one tael of silver a year to each farmer who sent their children to public schools. This actually led many people to send their children there. Now there are a total of seven to eight thousand children in Nanjing Public Schools.  Enrolled in school!¡±

    Li Jinzhong traveled around the south and got things done quite beautifully, but he himself did not benefit from it. So after returning to Beijing, Zhu Youxiao rewarded him with one hundred thousand taels of silver and asked him to follow him.  Serve, because Lao Wang An is too old and frail to stay with Zhu Youxiao all day long, he sits in the Supervisor of Ceremonies all day long. Only when there are important things, will he go to Zhu Youxiao's side to serve him!

    The reason why Li Jinzhong intervened in this matter this time was actually to help Lu Qingping. If Zhu Youxiao really let go of Lu Qingping, then he would have roped in a capable subordinate, which would also be very beneficial to him.  matter.

    Zhu Youxiao naturally knew what Li Jinzhong was thinking. He glanced at Li Jinzhong and snorted: "That Lu Qingping listened to your words and gave away more than 900,000 taels of silver, but he has nothing  He did a good job, so I won¡¯t hold him accountable for his fault, but you should be more careful, I think you¡¯ve been a little distracted lately!¡±

    At first, Li Jinzhong was a little proud when he heard Zhu Youxiao said that he should let Lu Qingping go, but when he heard Zhu Youxiao said that he was a little bit arrogant, his pride suddenly disappeared. He quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, I know this.  Everything about this slave is rewarded by your Majesty. Your Majesty lets you serve me, and I can still be considered a human being. If one day your Majesty abandons you, I will be worse than a dog. All slaves must not dare to break their conscience.  Your Majesty¡¯s grace goes awry!¡±

    When Zhu Youxiao saw that Li Jinzhong finally knew how much he weighed, he waved his hand and said, "You are good at talking. Let's forget about it. You can write a letter to Lu Qingping and tell him that he doesn't have to live in fear anymore.  As long as he can handle the matter at hand properly, I will not treat him badly!"

    Li Jinzhong's heart suddenly trembled, because he felt one thing from Zhu Youxiao's words, that is, Zhu Youxiao had a system for spying on intelligence besides Dongchang, otherwise Zhu Youxiao would not have failed.  Dongchang, you know Lu Qingping¡¯s current situation!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
