The issue of arms procurement in various countries in the continental countries has finally been discussed. Zhu Cijiu was calm on the surface, but he was very happy in his heart. This time, he not only earned more than 30 million taels of silver, but also caused the great powers to fall into the whirlpool of war, making them unable to extricate themselves, and gaining valuable time for the development of the Ming Dynasty. This kind of thing is really fun to think about!

The envoys from various European countries naturally did not expect that Zhu Cijiu was insulting them. On the contrary, they all thought that His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Empire was a great man. Not only did he sell them arms, but he also sent goods to his doorsteps, and even helped them work overtime to catch goods. They all achieved this. What's the point, especially in the end, he sent out two super giant ships in one breath, which made the people of the envoys' favor or admiration for him rise sharply, and even his eyes on him became a little fanatical.

Although Zhu Cijiu enjoyed the feeling of being admired by foreigners, it was tiring to put on a cool look. He couldn't stand it after a while. He was about to announce the end of the talks and asked them to leave, but the envoys whispered to Schvira, as if asking him to translate. Schvira was full of reluctance and talked to them, just not to translate.

Zhu Cijiu took the opportunity to take back his cool look and asked curiously: "Schvilla, what are they talking about, why don't you translate?"

Schweila replied with a constipation on her face: "They wanted the emperor to arrange for someone to teach them Chinese. Some even wanted to stay in the Ming Dynasty and go back after learning Chinese. The empress told them not to bother the emperor, but they just didn't listen."

This is a good thing. These people can come to the Ming Dynasty to discuss arms procurement on behalf of their respective kings or emperors, proving that they are more favored in their respective countries. Cultivating them to learn Chinese will help spread the Ming culture in the continental region. Besides, he didn't teach him personally, so he didn't bother with any trouble. He pretended to be careless and said: "What's the trouble with this little thing? I'll arrange it later. If you ask them to go back and prepare, you will probably start learning in two days."

Shivera was stunned when she heard this. Why did she feel that the emperor is so easy to talk to today? Is it true that the rumor that the emperor is fascinated by Princess Anna's beauty?

Of course, Zhu Cijing didn't know that Shi Weila was slandering him secretly. After returning to the Qianqing Palace, he immediately asked Cao Huachun to spread the word about Huang Daozhou's private study. He really didn't study the promotion of culture. It would be better to leave professionals to do professionals.

Huang Daozhou came faster than he thought. Seeing his rapid breathing, he probably ran over. Zhu Cijing thought to let him be happy first, so after he visited the court, he did not speak immediately, but picked up the teacup and prepared to take a few sips before talking. Unexpectedly, this guy couldn't wait to ask: "Master, are you asking me to arrange for next year's examination and palace examination?"

The imperial examination and the palace examination? Zhu Cijing was stunned when he heard this. Didn’t the Ministry of Rites and the Imperial College always be responsible for this matter? Why did he ask him? He couldn’t help but ask curiously: “Don’t you and your mentor arrange it every year? Why did you ask me about it?”

Huang Daozhou quickly explained: "Emperor, will there be juren from vassal states come to participate next year? It's okay for North Korea to say something. They will take a train to Liaodong. Japan and Ryukyu are both on the sea. If they are asked to come by themselves, nine out of ten will drown in the sea!"

Zhu Cijiu slapped his forehead when he heard this. How could he forget about this? There is no navy in Japan and Ryukyu now. If something happens to the Juren who came to take the exam, it will be embarrassing. He quickly summoned Cao Huachun in to draft an order, and asked the Beiyang Navy to send ten super battleships to Japan and Ryukyu after the New Year, and take all the Juren who took the exam at one time.

Cao Huachun was drafting the order, but Huang Daozhou continued to complain: "There are also questions about teaching. In previous years, the Imperial College would organize lectures before the examination, so that all juren would study in a concentrated manner. It mainly talks about the rules of the examination, and also talks about the questions of the examination in previous years. I am afraid that it will not be able to explain it next year. The local juren in Everbright Ming will have to be divided into many events, and every event is crowded. In addition, the vassal states cannot squeeze in, so they can't listen to the lecture!"

This is really a bit troublesome. Zhu Cijiu frowned and thought deeply when he heard this. As he thought about it, his brows couldn't help but stretch. He didn't know how to promote culture, but he knew what the university in later generations looked like. If you build a liberal arts college, you'll solve everything!

Soon, he made a decision: "Just build a Daming Academy of Liberal Arts and Sciences on the basis of the Imperial College, and expand the land around the Imperial College to ten times the size of the original place. Is this enough? In the future, the conditions for the students in the prison are relaxed. It is not necessary to be a nobleman, and the ancestors are officials. However, if you want to participate in the imperial examination, you must pass the preliminary examination selection. Only with competition can you have motivation, which can increase their enthusiasm."

When Huang Daozhou heard this, he felt it carefully and couldn't help but exclaim: "It's still Zhou Dao the emperor thought. Nowadays, the students in the prison are a little unimprovement. Anyway, they can participate in the imperial examinations, so it's easier to achieve fame and fortune, so they are not very attentive, but this land acquisition and expansion will cost a lot of money."

Zhu Cijiong asked lightly: "How much do you want?"

Huang Daozhou calculated carefully for a long time before he said carefully: "To expand the Imperial College to ten times, it is not counted as the land acquisition fee, at least 500,000 taels."

Five hundred thousand taels, so stingy! Zhu Cijing said with regret: "How can you be careless in studying? If you want to build it, you have to build the best one. I will give you five million taels, to build a grand, atmosphere, and cultural heritage. Do you know?"

Five million taels? Huang Daozhou shivered when he heard this. How much silver is that! But he immediately blushed with excitement. Isn’t the more silver the college, the better? He replied excitedly: “I know, I know, please rest assured as possible, thank the emperor for his grace, thank the emperor for his grace.”

Zhu Cijing waved his hand, interrupted his flattery, and patiently guided him: "The so-called Academy of Liberal Arts and Sciences does not necessarily teach all the things that are used to teach people. Han culture has a long history and can teach many things, such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, such as astronomy and geography. Subdividing the knowledge and opening more majors, the Ming Dynasty not only requires people to be officials, calligraphers, painters, astronomers, and geologists to also need them."

Huang Daozhou nodded frequently when he heard this. As soon as Zhu Cijing finished speaking, he sighed: "The emperor is right. The charm of Han culture does not actually lie in the imperial examination. Many people were originally obsessed with calligraphy, painting or poetry, but in order to prove themselves, they had to choose the imperial examination. We should give them more opportunities to show their talents."

When Zhu Cijiu heard this, he looked at Huang Daozhou in surprise. Unexpectedly, this guy had an open mind. He always thought that this guy was a corrupt scholar. He nodded and praised: "Well, just be able to understand what I mean. In addition, I will open a basic Chinese class, which specializes in teaching foreigners to speak Chinese. This time, there are many envoys in the European embassy group who want to stay in the Ming Dynasty to learn Chinese. You can think about how to teach it. I want to spread the culture of the Ming Dynasty to the European embassy through them. You should understand this, right?"

Huang Dao Zhou was so excited when he heard the spread of the sages' learning on Monday that he said in a trembling voice: "I understand, I understand, I will do my best to do my best."

Zhu Cijing nodded and said, "Well, I believe in you, this basic class will start as soon as possible. We must make them interested in the culture of the Ming Dynasty. This will help promote our Ming Dynasty culture in Europe. Do you know?"
