Zhang Yan stood up and saw him off, remembered something and asked, "When I went to pay my respects to the concubine yesterday, the sister of Liangfei said that she liked cats and asked me what rules and taboos are there in the palace."

Zhu Youxiao was stunned for a moment, then pursed his lips.

Concubine Wang must have heard that there was something new to the Qing Palace, and it was okay to meet her preferences or really like cats, but her ultimate goal was to please herself and get more favors.

"If you want to raise a cat, let her keep it. I have one too!" Zhu Youxiao didn't care. Who made his three wives? No one wanted to stay alone in the empty room.

Zhang Yan nodded with a smile and said, "Then I will tell Liang Fei this."

Zhu Youxiao suddenly approached, kissed Zhang Yan on the face, and turned around and left the hall with a smile.

Zhang Yan was stunned for a moment, then Xia Fei was full of face. The quiet and virtuous little woman didn't know what to kiss goodbye.

Zhu Youxiao returned to the Ganqing Palace accompanied by the palace servants and went directly to the Dongnuan Pavilion.

When I entered the East Warehouse, I didn’t see Zhang Yuer outside. Zhu Youxiao didn’t care either. Just as he was about to step into the inner room, his eyes flashed and he stopped with a smile.

A pair of shoes was clearly exposed under Zhang Yuer's bed. What is this girl doing inside? Looking for a cat?

Time was not long, and his feet slowly rubbed back, revealing his skirt. Xiaobai crawled out first and saw Zhu Youxiao and meowed.

Zhang Yuer crawled out with a grunt, her hair was covered with spider web dust. She just got up on the edge of the bed and turned around and saw Zhu Youxiao who seemed to be smiling.

"Emperor, I pay homage to you." Zhang Yu'er hurriedly knelt down and bowed again.

"Get up!" Zhu Youxiao touched his chin and asked curiously: "What are you doing under the machine? Is there a mouse hole? Are you going to help Xiaobai catch it?"

"No, Emperor." Zhang Yu'er stood up and lowered her head slightly embarrassedly, "I am here, I am hiding money."

Zhu Youxiao blinked his eyes and understood.

The severance of the palace servants was not just someone who left empty-handedly, but also said with confidence that food and accommodation were so kind and righteous.

Zhu Youxiao set a salary for the palace servants, six taels of silver a year and only five cents a month, which is really a stingy.

But Zhu Youxiao had no choice, and he had a clear idea of ​​the treasury. He could save a little. Besides, he would not dare to set his salary too high in an instant.

The key is that there was no such thing as salary in the past. Now, I have given five cents a month, which has made the palace servants overjoyed and shouted "The emperor's grace is so great."

Moreover, Zhu Youxiao also paid the salary for the second time, starting from his own calculations, which means he would pay two years of salary at once.

So, Zhang Yu'er was rich and twelve taels of silver, but she was so happy that she was so worried.

The money is in your hands, but there is no place to spend it for the time being! You can't take everything as your body every day, it would be too inconvenient.

After two days of worry, Zhang Yuer finally thought of a good idea and found a good place, which is to hide the money under the bed.

I just thought about it and did it. While the emperor did not come back and the other palace ladies were not around, the girl started to act.

Zhu Youxiao shook his head, but it was only twelve taels of silver, it was a treasure for this girl.

"I'm covered in gray, hurry up and clean up." Zhu Youxiao turned around and entered the inner room, took out a few memorials, and went to the imperial study room.

As soon as he sat in the imperial study, Wang Tigan held a box and submitted it to him, reporting: "Old Master, this was sent by the Ministry of Punishment this morning."

Zhu Youxiao nodded, checked the seal of the box, then opened it, took out the secret report inside and started reading it.

The first one was about Zhang Heming, the Minister of War, who asked to go on his way but stayed slow. According to Jinyiwei's estimates, in less than ten days and half a month, Zhang Dashen could not arrive at Shanhaiguan.

Humph, Zhu Youxiao sneered and put away the secret report. In less than half a month, Zhang Heming would be dismissed from his post, and he would not have to answer this cowardly fool.

The second secret report was sent from the Dongjiang Army, which was after capturing Huanggu Fort. It mainly introduced the process of the Dongjiang Army's battle and the number of enemies killed and injured.

After reading it, Zhu Youxiao thought for a while, and then put away the secret report.

Judging from the secret reports, although the Dongjiang Army was first established, its morale is very high. As the combat power is strengthened and the equipment increases, there should be a lot of room for improvement.

This made Zhu Youxiao more determined to open a town in Dongjiang, and also gave him some more insights into the "No Liao people can be used" he analyzed.

The third secret report was reported by the Jinyiwei from Tongzhou, Shuntian Prefecture, and the investigation of the former governor of the grain transportation, Li Sancai, who had been dismissed, had basically completed the investigation.

Zhu Youxiao looked at the approximate numbers listed in the secret newspaper, his face was expressionless, his eyes narrowed slightly, and finally he put it away.

Zhang Yu'er cleaned up the liberty and carried the White Lady into the imperial study room.

Zhu Youxiao looked up at her, stretched out his finger, and didn't say anything.

Zhang Yuer understood, obediently walked to her small desk in the corner and sat down, opened the "Thousand Character Text", honestly ground ink and picked up the pen, and started writing.

"Emperor." Wang Tiqian walked in and reminded respectfully, "It's time to go to the morning court."

Zhu Youxiao nodded, took a few memorials and walked out of the imperial study room and towards the Qianqing Palace Hall.

…………………………………

The 18th February exam is over, and the palace exam is on March 15th, with a half month interval between them.

The results of the examination were announced on February 28, with a total of 410 scholars becoming tribute members, and members were won by Li Yizao’s scholars.

Although there is no palace examination yet, these tribute scholars have already been Jinshi or from the same Jinshi.

Because the palace examination is not dismissed, it is just a ranking, which is the top scorer, the second scorer, the second scorer, the first scorer, the second scorer, and the third scorer.

Therefore, the tribute scholars who were on the list of the imperial examination were excited and had achieved their goals. The rest was to go further and strive to get a good ranking, which would be even more glorious and glorious.

Those who failed the exam also had two more opportunities this year, although many candidates disdained this and even thought it was a disgrace to the family.

"A person from Wen Ju becomes a martial Jinshi--"

Many people who failed the exam curled their lips. This is not the Yuelong Gate. After the word "Wu" is used, their identity has been reduced for a long time. Who cares about it?

"Sons under the age of 20 can also register for the Academy of Sciences, learn agronomy, water conservancy, and other practical studies, and be appointed by the court in a year later."

All things are inferior, but only reading is high. What are the agronomical, water conservancy, and investigation of things? Are they not the subtle techniques or strange tricks?

The Academy of Sciences, this name is so strange. Is it still Mr. Xu Guangqi, who believed in the Red Wild Cult, who served as the president. From there, can I get through the officialdom?

Hey, there is also this one to contribute to the "Da Ming Forum". If you publish it, you will get the royalties!

As for this, I would like to recommend the court to the Tilly Kingdom to the State of China. The court has rewards, and it can even be simply promoted to an official, which is a bit like the self-recommendation of his talents in the Han and Tang Dynasties?
Chapter completed!
