"Really?" Emperor Tianqi asked suspiciously, "Don't let me be happy."

"Does the emperor remember the case of the North and South List during the Hongwu Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty?"

"I have a vague impression. You don't want me to make the exam reopen the exam on the excuse of fraud. Although Wang Tu, the deputy chief examiner, once made things difficult for you, but later he turned to the right and regained Huiyuan. If he was imprisoned, he would probably be honest. Besides, Donglin was arrested and the world was shocked. If another major case was found, the political situation would definitely be unstable. Also, the Ming Dynasty has already spent too much money on this exam. If you do it again, the finances are tight. If you want to take revenge on Wang Tu, I don't object, but you can find other excuses."

Zhu Youcheng was so amused and laughed: "Do you think I am like the kind of person who will be retaliated against you?"

Emperor Tianqi, King Xin, and Wei Zhongxian all nodded, and even Wei Honglian, who turned around and was about to go out, nodded.

Zhu Youcheng thought for a while and said with a smile: "It seems that I am indeed such a person. But my idea is not to start the exam again, but to no longer divide the scholars from north to south to pick up the scholars in the next scientific examination, but to divide the scholars from two capitals and thirteen provinces to pick up the scholars."

Emperor Tianqi felt enlightened when he heard Zhu Youcheng's words.

"The emperor, Shandong, Hubei and Jiangsu Provinces have a strong literary style. Every time the examination is held, the admission rate of scholars from these three provinces is the highest. The ministers have a strong sense of rural concepts, so there are disputes between the Qi Party, the Chu Party, and the Donglin Party in the court. If you take officials in different provinces, you can downplay the disputes between the regional parties. Moreover, some ministers have short-sighted vision and have no sense of the overall situation. The suggestions put forward are based on whether it is beneficial to their hometowns. For example, since the emperor proposed a guarantee plan of 200 million mu of grain fields, many officials in Jiangnan have encouraged the emperor to revoke this policy. It is just because they have no overall concept and focus on the benefits of time and place. We cannot make every official a saint like Wang Yangming, but if you listen to both provinces, you can listen to the opinions of officials from different places across the country."

Emperor Tianqi slapped the table and said, "It's amazing, Jiangsu scholars can only account for a small proportion of the admission ratio by then. How can they engage in party disputes? Brother Cheng, how did you have a brain? How could you come up with such a wonderful idea? I would have asked for your opinion before I started a profession and became an official, so as to avoid so many Donglin remnants this year."

"Your Majesty, you don't have to worry about the Jinshi admitted this year. The Donglin Party educated the scholars into bad gentry without a monarch or father, and the Ming Administrative Academy can turn him into the backbone of the Ming Dynasty."

"If you don't say it, I almost forgot about the Ming Administrative Academy. With this, the Donglin Party can't make any big waves. I am the priest of the two colleges and often have to go to the college to inspect it, so the college must be built closer to the palace. Let's do this, the original chief minister Ye Xianggao and Han Yu's mansion are relatively close to the Forbidden City, and two colleges are built there. Let's leave the relocation of residents next to Wei to do it."

"Emperor, the Dongchang method is too fierce and can easily affect the emperor's reputation of benevolence. I have a general banner under my command named Qin Ke. I have special experience in demolition, so why not leave it to him to do it."

"Brother Cheng is really amazing. He has all kinds of talents under his command." Emperor Tianqi saw that Zhu Youcheng took the initiative to take over the most difficult demolition matter, and knew that he was going to bear the reputation of him. He was moved and said, "Don't force it. If you encounter trouble, go to the East Factory. They will cooperate with it with all their strength. As for the funds, I will instruct the Ministry of Revenue to allocate funds. If the Ministry of Revenue has no money, I will allocate money from the internal treasury."

Zhu Youcheng nodded without hesitation. Although he was as close as his family as Emperor Tianqi, it was not a big deal to spend his private money on the national finances. For example, the construction of a children's paradise was paid by Emperor Wanli, but the construction of a women's paradise was paid by himself and King Xin. This time, he built the Ming Administrative Academy and the Ming Military Academy for the emperor, and then paid for it himself, so he would cry to the Golden Palace.

"By the way, before coming to the children's playground, I saw that the back of the alley was very lively. When I walked over, I found it a very interesting place - the Women's Playground, especially the pair of stone lions at the door, which was really hilarious. When I entered the interior, I really felt like I was at home. Who designed this?"

King Xin proudly raised his chest and said, "Who else can design such a unique building except the emperor's brother's younger brother?"

Xin Wang's chest was too erect, and even his belly was protruding.

"I see that the interior has been renovated and the furniture is arranged neatly, so why not open to the public?"

"Brother Cheng told me that the newly renovated house has a strong smell of paint and various auxiliary materials, and it also contains some toxic and harmful substances. People are prone to suffering from various difficult and complicated diseases in this environment for a long time, especially pregnant women, who are in danger of miscarriage. New houses must be ventilated for half a year before they can be opened to the public. The women's park reception is all royal relatives, so the danger must be minimized."

Zhu Youcheng's experience comes from later generations. The wood and paints of later generations have been treated with chemicals. Although they are durable, they will emit various toxic and harmful substances, affecting human health. The building materials of the Ming Dynasty are naturally natural and environmentally friendly, but there is no big mistake to be careful, so Zhu Youcheng told Xinwang to open the business later.

Emperor Tianqi nodded and smiled when he heard this, and suddenly his face changed drastically, his face turned gloomy, and he left.

Zhu Youcheng and King Xin looked at each other, not knowing what was wrong.

Fortunately, Wei Zhongxian felt sorry for his grandson and was afraid that Zhu Youcheng would be afraid, so he whispered to him: "The queen is pregnant and has been bleeding from nose recently, but the imperial doctor cannot find any problem. The palace where the queen lives is newly built. The emperor heard that the new house can only be lived after half a year of ventilation. When he thinks about this, he is most likely to ask the queen to move the palace now, and it has nothing to do with you."

After saying that, Wei Zhongxian hurriedly followed the emperor.

When he walked to the door, Emperor Tianqi turned around and said, "Brother Cheng, hurry up and build the Ming Administrative Academy and the Ming Military Academy. Also, the palace examination will be held in another month, so you must review it quickly. Remember to make a vow of winning six yuan in a row, don't let me down."

After seeing off Emperor Tianqi, Zhu Youcheng hurriedly ordered someone to go to the construction site of the Women's Paradise to find Qin Ke.

After a while, the servants returned, Qin Ke said that the project here had been completed and rushed to the imperial village in Jingxi to supervise the construction and renovation of the imperial village.

Zhu Youcheng couldn't help but sigh, Qin Ke was really a construction madman. He agreed to him that he would build a women's paradise within half a year and promoted him to the general banner. As a result, in order to transform the imperial village, he hurriedly left without even receiving the reward.

He ordered people to go to the imperial village in the west of Jing to pass an order, informing Qin Ke to rush back to the capital tomorrow morning. In addition, he also issued an order to Wei Liangqing, asking him to equip Qin Ke with two bodyguards.

Perhaps it was because of that killing power. Wei Liangqing is not as unbearable as in history. He trains very hard and can fight with ordinary soldiers. Although he is still not as good as the team of hundreds of households recruited by Zhu Youcheng, he is gradually getting closer. Seeing Wei Liangqing so vigorously, Zhu Youcheng promoted him to the captain of the guard and was responsible for the protection of various important figures.

The next day, Qin Ke rushed to the children's playground. He had two guards and felt Lord Zhu's attention to him. He walked with his head held high and his chest held high.

"Sir Zhu, why did you call me here? I am renovating the city defense of the imperial village."

"Okay, okay, when this task is completed, you can transform the imperial village as much as you like. Even if you want to change it into a giant toilet, it will be up to you. However, now the emperor has given us a task to build two academies next to the Forbidden City. I plan to hand over this important task to you."

"Academy? Is it academy?"

"The college is not a college..."

Zhu Youcheng attended the Police Academy in his previous life and visited other universities, so he introduced his ideas to Qin Ke.

The two colleges in his mind can each accommodate 4,000 students, because with the development of the current situation, more and more officials will come to the college to study civil affairs or military affairs. In addition to classrooms and teachers' offices, the college also has supporting facilities such as libraries, canteens, and training grounds.

Qin Ke became more and more interested in the more he listened. He was very interested in designing such complex buildings.

As the two talked, they talked about the afternoon.

When the two were almost in a good conversation, a small eunuch came to pass the imperial edict, but it was the imperial edict that Wei Honglian was appointed as the fourth-rank imperial lady.

After the eunuch passed the order, he took out a box of ginseng and gave it to Zhu Youcheng. It turned out that after Emperor Tianqi moved the palace to the empress, the symptoms of nosebleeding that the imperial physician had not cured for a long time were cured without medicine. Emperor Tianqi was overjoyed and rewarded Zhu Youcheng with a box of ginseng.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

Qin Ke is really an amazing talent, and he can see it at a glance. At night, he took the design drawings to see it for Zhu Youcheng, and it was exactly the same as Zhu Youcheng imagined.

Zhu Youcheng confidently handed over the task of building the two academies, reviewed with all his might, and prepared to get a good score in the palace examination.
