Chapter 54 Gao Qi's Mission

"My son remember." Zhu Biao agreed obediently.

Queen Ma looked at him and smiled and said, "Whether Mu Ying or you, it's time for you to start a family and start a career. When the Northern Expedition is over, we will help you find the daughters of kings, princes, generals and ministers."

"I'm not in a hurry, my adopted mother." Mu Ying was a little shy.

"It's not a hurry. You see, Gao Qi has been here several times, so you don't find anything for him to do."

Regarding Gao Qi and Zhou Qingru were childhood sweethearts outside the palace, Zhu Biao and Empress Ma made it clear.

There are rules in the harem. Queen Ma intends to let Zhu Biao subdue Gao Qi, but also reminds Gao Qi not to break the rules of the inner palace, otherwise he will be severely punished and not to lend money.

Zhu Biao accepted Gao Qi. After hearing this, Lao Zhu said that it was difficult for scholars to stay, but his own Biao was still good.

When he returned to the East Palace, Zhu Biao immediately asked someone to find Song Lian and Gao Qi.

"Yu'er, give Mr. Song a seat."

"Old minister thanks Your Highness." Song Lian saluted Zhu Biao.

"Thank you for your hard work in helping Gu handle the Science and Technology Academy these days." Then he turned his head to Gao Qi and said, "Gao Qi, have you sorted out the booklet you prepared?"

Gao Qi immediately stood respectfully, took out two thread-pack books from his cuffs and said, "Gao Qi has sorted it out as his oral statements. Please read it."

Jin'er next to him stepped forward and took two thin books and handed them to Zhu Biao.

The paper in the early Ming Dynasty turned yellow and the paper color was not white.

One is the foundation of mathematics, and the other is the foundation of chemistry.

"Gao Qi, the paragraph explaining what chemistry is, is too long and difficult to understand, and it is written with new substances produced...carbon, non-metallic elements, symbol C."

"Your Highness, there is a problem."

Gao Qi saw Zhu Biao talking about carbon.

"It is not enough to have this math and chemistry alone. Collect the notes left by Guo Shoujing and Wang Zhen's agronomy, and organize them in the most popular official language of the Ming Dynasty to ensure that everyone has no obstacles to reading."

"I will go to see the matter of Shenjitang Firearm in a few days. The craftsmen of the Science and Technology Academy not only need to be proficient in craftsmanship, but you also need to help them learn comprehensively. Of course, the books of sages must be read."

Song Lian, who was standing beside him, wanted to speak, but retreated.

"Mr. Song, what do you mean?"

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, the old minister has some ideas about the first time our dynasty was awarded a vocational examination."

"I will talk about the imperial examination tomorrow morning to you. Gu felt that everyone would discuss it together. When you are fine, take the people from the Zhanshi Mansion and arrange your affairs quickly."

"Yes, I obey the order." Song Lian stood up from the chair and said.

The imperial examination will not stop for a while, because the base of scholars is too large.

Many people take the exam from young to old age, and some still become juren in their sixties and seventies. What can they do when passing the exam? There must be age restrictions on the imperial examination, and it is best to control it within 50 years old.

I had nothing to do in the afternoon, so I saw Song Lian away. Zhu Biao asked the eunuch to boil candy there and talk to Gao Qi.

"Your Highness, don't you have icing?"

"The frosting is too expensive, so Gu wants to find out sugar." Zhu Biao stood in the yard with his hands in his arms and said to Gao Qi: "Gao Qi, Gu knows you like Zhou Qingru."

"Your Highness..."

"Gao Qi, the harem is strict, don't break the rules. If you help Gu do things well and do your best for the Ming Dynasty, Gu will make you and Zhou Qingru a good thing back then. How about it?"

He was shocked. Did Your Highness know that he had secretly gone to the harem to see Zhou Qingru? He hurriedly said, "Thank you, Your Highness, Gao Qi will never do stupid things again."

"Okay, your literary talent is recognized by the Ming Dynasty. I hope that the ideological enlightenment of the Ming Dynasty will be promoted by you.

Gao Qi, tell me, how big do you think the world is?"

"Your Highness, Mr. Gao Qi heard from Mr. Gao that the southmost part of the desert is water, there is no land, and the eastmost part of Shandong..."

"Wrong, the world is very big, and there are other local powers northwards, and overseas is even more vast. One day, the subjects of the Ming Dynasty will also appear there.

Your task is to use your own words to tell everyone how big the world is and how important business is. Doing things well, Gu will definitely try his best to match you and Zhou Qingru."

"In addition, you will find out the methods of raising sheep in the north, including cotton planting and mulberry leaf planting, and then check the contents, so as to ensure accurate results, and promote them on the north of the Yangtze River."

"Your Highness, this minister has never been exposed to these things. It's okay to organize them, but there may be problems with the pickets." Gao Qi was in a dilemma, after all, he was a craftsman.

It’s okay to make some sour words and essays, but this is a bit difficult.

Zhu Biao said: "Gao Qi, can't you learn if you don't know? I don't care how you do it, as long as it turns out to be successful."

"Yes." Gao Qi gritted his teeth and replied.

Gao Qi is a man with literary talent, but he is very noble. Unfortunately, he is a passionate seed and he is obsessed with Zhou Qingru.

...

...

"Your Highness, you're so tired."

The little eunuch came over to look at Zhu Biaodao with a pottery jar.

A few days ago, Zhu Biao accidentally saw that the sugar in the palace was not very colored, unless it was frosting.

In the middle of the Ming Dynasty, some people invented the "yellow mud water-drying sugar method" to make white sugar.

The method of pouring sugar with yellow mud is to squeeze the sugar cane into juice, then simmer it in the heat, and then make black sugar according to the most common method.

Then put the prepared black sugar into a tile funnel and then pour the yellow mud water into the funnel to produce a reaction, and you can get snow-white sugar.

This operation first appeared in Fujian in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, and then this method became popular all over the Ming Dynasty and became a milestone in the world's sugar making history.

During the days I came back, the money I earned from wine alone was not enough. If I studied the method of making white sugar and started to promote it in the early Ming Dynasty, it would be a good way.

Zhu Biao looked at the stuff that was stumped by the little eunuch and said, "Don't lose it, let Yu'er and Jin'er come over."

"Yes, Your Highness." The little eunuch immediately took away the pottery jar, and then asked Jin'er and Yu'er to come.

Recently, because of the reason why I had to supervise the state to handle political affairs, I had no time to check the situation of the navy under Zheng Sanbao, and even Shenjitang was delaying again and again.

After Zhu Biao finished the rest, he started to go to the imperial study room to process the memorials.

Memorial was called during the Shunzhi period of the Qing Dynasty. The documents submitted by officials of the Ming Dynasty were called memorials and notes.

Use brocade as the base to frame the written documents on it, and there are various colors.

Zhu Biao knew that the color of these memorials was related to the official's grade, so he decided the background color of the memorials.

The table was filled with six memorials. After wars in various places, the memorials presented were all about refugees and immigration issues.

The progress of the Northern Expedition has been reduced in the past few days. Perhaps because Lao Zhu went there, he was not sent to Nanjing.

The important things in it only account for a part of it. The others are small things that happen to the people.

Zhu Biao took the green memorial, which was written about the matter of plowing oxen and stepping on the green seedlings.
