This time, you will not have any of you. The previous ones will also be published and reported. We will have to make good calculations in the future.

Threat, a bare-hearted threat.

You, the Supreme Emperor of Nine Five, is it okay to be so mean and polite? Do you not rely on scholars or gentry? Are you sitting firmly on this dragon throne?

Stay stable, can be stable!

In the imperial study room, Emperor Zhu Youxiao sat in a chair, listening to Liu Ruoyu continue to recite the memorial and question book, without any worry.

The scholar rebelled for three years; the landlords and gentry were not just powerful people in the war, but a bunch of cowards.

"I will be sure to make Sun Yuanhua step up the development of spontaneous muskets; I will also be sure of Bi Maokang's entry into the Ministry of Works."

Zhu Youxiao is no longer too urgent about the development of flintlock fissures, and it is useless to be impatient anyway.

However, Sun Yuanhua and others did not dare to slack off. The technology of crucible steelmaking became more mature, and the quality of the steel produced became more and more stable, laying the foundation for the development of the flintlock rifle.

Bi Maokang, who is now the Chief of Shuntian Prefecture, was praised by Zhu Youxiao for writing a letter to state the benefits of firearms and believing that "the barbarians fear China is firearms."

Through the examinations of Xu Guangqi, Sun Yuanhua and others, they all believed that Bi Maokang had unique insights in the manufacturing of utensils, so he asked to transfer to the Ministry of Works to serve.

Bi Maokang and Zhu Youxiao thought this name was very familiar and should be a historical celebrity, so they approved it and transferred it to the Ministry of Works and served as the Right Minister.

"The son and grandson of the Prince of Tang have arrived in the capital and are now temporarily staying in the inn..."

Zhu Youxiao scratched his head, and Zhu Youjian seemed to be a useful royal family. But when he knew that this guy was of the same age as Grandpa Wanli and his uncle, he felt that it was not good.

Not only did he find himself an uncle, but Zhu Youjian's father also seemed to be called great-uncle.

"Let Zhu You enter the sect first. Prince Tang is weak and he will take a rest and take care of it for the time being." Zhu Youxiao thought about it and took a look first before talking, don't rush to summon him.

The sect has begun to teach. Although there are not many clans from the royal family, they have to put on airs and cannot wait until the "pig" wakes up before opening.

Since we want the disciples of the clan to support themselves, there is no need to talk about the Four Books and Five Classics.

In the sect, the four subjects of science, law, water conservancy, farming, and fertility were temporarily developed. Even if you can't learn craftsmanship, you can still do business or become a small official in the future.

Even King Xin, Zhu Youjian, was sent to the sect by Zhu Youjian. He stayed in the mansion and had no knowledge. He came out to see more and learned more useful things.

All the affairs of the four people are OK, but the army cannot let the sons of the clan be involved. This is also Zhu Youxiao's principle.

"Bi Zisu, the Censorate, has reported: Long live to issue an imperial edict, ordering officials to conduct self-inspection and correction, more than 1,300 officials have cleared the fields..."

Zhu Youxiao nodded and said, "The deadline has arrived. Let Bi Zisu send the censor to investigate strictly, and officials who conceal and fail to report will be punished more."

I have given you the opportunity to be lenient and still have luck, so don’t blame me for being ruthless.

"And—" Zhu Youxiao remembered something again and ordered: "The investigation and compilation of the Huang Book and the Fish Scale Book will be carried out to speed up the investigation and approval by the Ministry of Revenue before the end of the year."

Words are made with golden words and words, and they are done. This is the only way for an emperor to establish authority. Without such strength and prestige, future reform policies will inevitably be difficult to implement.

From the beginning of the year to now, reform is gradually advancing, and it has been more than half a year.

The record of corrupt officials who were severely punished was set, and the number of gentry who were confiscated was shocking. But all of this was to pave the way for reform.

If you don’t have to flatten it, just flatten it. Zhu Youxiao knows that the reform is just the beginning and has not really touched the pain points of interest groups and has not yet encountered real resistance.

However, under the increasingly powerful and concentrated imperial power, the interest groups are just slags, and Zhu Youxiao has such confidence.

After reviewing several more questions, Zhu Youxiao asked Liu Ruoyu to stop for a while. He wanted to take a break and think about it.

Drinking tea, Zhu Youxiao was thinking about the opening and operation of Imperial Bank. Although a general charter had been formulated, it was not so easy to successfully launch this new thing.

As for the reserve fund, Zhu Youxiao has transferred the east and borrowed it from the west and has saved up five or six million taels. In addition, the funds to support his own maritime businessmen should be enough.

But Zhu Youxiao is not sure whether to directly introduce silver dollars and move away from the pace of abolishing the two sides and changing the country.

In fact, Zhu Youxiao was quite anxious about abolishing the two sides and changing the era.

Because if you can make a big profit by minting coins, it is minting interest. Not only silver dollars, but also copper coins.

For example, if you mint a one-yuan silver coin, the cost and the working price may be only 0.8 to 0.9 taels, but it can be used as one tael of silver.

Of course, Zhu Youxiao was not just thinking about making money. Instead, he changed the backward and disorderly monetary system of silver, strengthened currency stability and promoted industrial and commercial development.

But Zhu Youxiao also knew that abolishing the two countries and changing the era will encounter considerable resistance.

First, if the fire is gone, local officials will lose a few inputs; second, there is a difference in silver coins, so there will inevitably be opportunists who take advantage of it.

There is also the process of minting silver coins, whether it is a mechanism or a traditional casting, its color and geometry, and the recognition of its circulation in the city by the people and merchants.

Zhu Youxiao thought for a long time and decided to believe in collective wisdom and wait for the results of the Ministry of Revenue to study and discuss.

Although time travelers have the advantage of predicting the unknown, they can at least accurately grasp the general trend of historical development.

But Zhu Youxiao still did not brazenly abolish the court-recommended system, but only weakened it a little by relying on his own strength.

Three cobblers are better than Zhuge Liang. If there is no nonsense party struggle, the decisions made by collective wisdom will be mostly correct.

Zhu Youxiao cannot hope that his successor will be as wise and powerful as himself. What if he is a bastard? At least he will retain the court recommendation system, which is somewhat a restriction.

Therefore, based on this thinking, Zhu Youxiao will continue to severely suppress the party struggle and try to maintain the court-recommendation system. Although the constraints on him are already very small, it will not affect his continued promotion of the great cause of reform.

While drinking tea and thinking, Wang Tiqian came in from outside the hall to report that Li Chengcheng came to Jin to see him and led Concubine Yu's little sister.

Zhu Youxiao was a little confused, but he still summoned him in, wanting to see how the two of them got together and came to Qianqing Palace again.

Li Chengcheng came in and kowtowed to pay homage. He knew he had made a mistake outside. Zhang Yu'er had been promoted to Concubine Yu and was no longer serving in the Qianqing Palace.

This made her feel a little frightened and envious.

Then Zhang Yu'er was just a palace maid. She had neither a very beautiful face nor a high degree of knowledge, but she had such a fate.

Zhang Wan'er didn't know anything else, but before entering the palace, she was taught how to kowtow. The little girl was like when she was in Changchun Palace, with a chicken pecking at rice and kowtowing with sincerity.

"Get up!" Zhu Youxiao said lightly: "Li Chengcheng, right? How did you meet Wan'er and lead her to the Qing Palace again?"

Li Chengcheng hurriedly bowed and replied, "The emperor forgives the crime. I don't know about the promotion of Concubine Yu, and I thought she was in the Qing Palace. This little sister was lost in the palace..."

Zhu Youxiao understood and reached out to meet him. Zhang Wan'er walked to her former emperor's brother-in-law in a daze and timid manner.

"Remember, your sister lives in Changchun Palace." Zhu Youxiao took the handkerchief and wiped the little girl's face with a warm smile. "If you want to see the palace, let the palace servant lead it and don't run around by yourself."

"Long lively, I remember it, Changchun Palace." Zhang Wan'er blinked her big eyes, nodded vigorously, and smiled with a small gaping teeth.

I? Zhu Youxiao listened to the little girl's claim to be so funny.

He reached out and touched the small schoolbag that Zhang Wan'er was carrying, and told the palace servants to get the candy and snacks to fill the girl. Then he ordered Wang Ti: "Let the palace servants take her back. After a long time, Concubine Yu should be anxious."

"Yes." Wang Tigan agreed, greeted Wan'er with a smile on her face, and led her out of the hall.

Zhu Youxiao withdrew his gaze, looked at Li Chengcheng who was standing bowing, and said slowly: "I called you here because I think you have some business skills. The royal business is to supplement the cost of the palace and to distribute some benefits to the palace servants, but it is difficult to use foreign officials..."

The transaction of silver mirrors has been distributed, but the share of Beijing has been retained by Zhu Youxiao. In addition, he is also preparing to reorganize the External Weaving and Dyeing Bureau in Beijing and build a new factory for making soaps.

If you make money, whether you enter the treasury to serve as the treasury or do kindness, you will spend it easily and righteously. If you have the conditions and have someone to do, you can't waste it.

Moreover, some expenses are difficult to get the Ministry of Revenue to withdraw funds. For example, the orphans recruited, food, clothing, housing and transportation, and school building and study. These expenses can only be withdrawn from the treasury for the time being.

As the main annual income of the royal family, half of the more than one million taels of gold and silver have been spent on the quelling of the rebellion in the southwest, and the other half is probably spent in Liaodong.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao has to want to make money more, so that he can keep his foundation and support this year's expenses.

Li Chengcheng listened carefully and understood the emperor's intention, about training palace maids. But she didn't know that the royal family would be short of money, and she was a little surprised.

After finishing his lecture, Zhu Youxiao picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, and said, "I have drawn up some regulations. You can go to the small table over there to have a good look. If you don't understand anything, record it and ask me together."

"Yes, I obey the order." Li Chengcheng bowed and bowed, moved slowly, and came to the small table at the corner of the hall, picked up the documents on the table and read them.

Zhu Youxiao saw that Li Chengcheng didn't dare to sit, and said in a harmonious voice: "I'll let you sit down and watch."

"I thank the emperor for his kindness." Li Chengcheng bowed again and sat down carefully.

Zhu Youxiao reached out to pick up the question book on the table. It was written by Xu Guangqi, and he opened it and read it.

The compilation of calendars was valued by dynasties. However, by the end of the Ming Dynasty, it was clearly in a state of backwardness.

On the one hand, this is due to the rapid development of astronomy based on heliocentric theory in Europe at this time, and on the other hand, it is the result of the Ming Dynasty's ban on calendar research.

The "Datong Calendar" implemented in the Ming Dynasty was followed by the "Shushi Calendar" in the Yuan Dynasty. It has been over time and is seriously inaccurate.
