During the Yuan Dynasty, because the Yuan Tartars did not understand political affairs, they allowed the scholars to handle government affairs.

A large number of scholars with bad intentions colluded with the Yuan Tartars, encircled land at will, plundered the people's wealth and oppressed the people as they wished. As for those few scholars with justice, they had no hope of career and could only live in seclusion in the mountains and forests without any chance of making a breakthrough.

This is also the reason why there were countless corrupt officials and countless murders after the founding of the Ming Dynasty.

The only way to solve this problem is to engage in education.

Increase the number of literate people.

Just so happened that Zhu Zi'an couldn't find a suitable reason and quietly promoted letters and arithmetic.

Unexpectedly, Yang Zaide, Chu Nan and other retired veterans, the best and suitable candidates, came to their doorstep.

He has strong execution ability and can report to Zhu Yuanzhang in a timely manner.

The most important thing is that they are all their own people!

However, the only thing Zhu Zian didn't expect was that Zhu Yuanzhang would know so late.

Fortunately, Zhu Yuanzhang finally knew it. He also realized the importance of those letters and arithmetic.

Therefore, after missing a worry, Zhu Zi'an tasted even more relaxed.

But in the eyes of Zhu Yuanzhang and others, they were a little heartless.

Moreover, the more I looked at it, the more I liked it. I picked up a piece of mutton and put it into Zhu Zi'an's bowl.

"Come on, Zi'an, this piece of mutton is cooked!"

"Thank you, Uncle Fourth!"

"Ha ha……"

After this scene, I looked at Tang He and Zhu Biao beside me, and I was stunned, and even felt a little sore in my heart.

I ate it for more than an hour in one meal!

The meat plates on the table were also replaced with plates after plate.

"Shifu, where is the meat? Come and serve us meat!"

Finally, after using chopsticks to scoop up the pot and found that a piece of meat was gone, Zhu Yuanzhang hurriedly shouted.

"By the emperor, you guys have eaten ten plates of mutton and twenty plates of pork belly. There is really no meat in the kitchen!"

Shi Fu quickly lowered his head and replied in a panic look.

"No meat?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned.

"Distance~"

"Your Majesty, let's end this hot pot banquet today!"

Zhu Zi'an glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao's round belly and said thoughtfully.

"We are in a state of excitement......"

Before he finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang's expression changed slightly.

"Since that's the case, it's getting late, so that's all for today!"

Then, he couldn't help but touch the belly with a strong belly and said embarrassedly: "Zi'an, you're so happy to eat this hot pot. We'll eat it tomorrow!"

"Zi'an, we want to eat too!"

Tang He, who was standing beside him, also sat on the chair, with a lazy expression and said slowly, "If it is convenient, let that boy Tang Ding come here tomorrow to learn the secret recipe of hot pot with you!"

"Tang He, you kid are too greedy!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang's face turned dark and he glared at Tang He in disgust.

Then, he smiled and said to Zhu Zi'an, "If possible, we also want the chef in the imperial kitchen in the palace to come and learn the secret recipe of this hot pot for you."

In this scene, looking at Xuan Pingzi, Xuan Yinzi and others, their faces were full of confusion.

But then, there was a strange look.

Zhu Zi'an was also slightly stunned, then smiled strangely and said, "Your Majesty, Uncle Tang, the most important secret recipe for this hot pot is the recipe. If you two want to eat it, you can come to Zi'an at any time and bring a few bags of ingredients."

However, he said silently in his heart: You two will have this idea tomorrow, and that little path is extremely impressed.

"Haha, that's the case!"

Zhu Yuanzhang and Tang He were full of smiles on their faces.

Zhu Zi'an nodded with a smile on his face, and then couldn't help but remind him gently.

"However, after you go back, please pay attention to it at night. If you eat too much chili, it is easy to get up at night!"

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao didn't care too much about this.

Then, the few people said goodbye and walked back swayingly.

Along the way, a crowd of people on the street turned around after Zhu Yuanzhang and Tang He walked past him and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and others strangely.

Zhu Yuanzhang, Tang He and others were a little confused about this.

After returning to the palace, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was in a happy mood, went straight to Kunning Palace.

"Girl, guess what big surprise did Zi'an bring to us today?"

As soon as he entered the door, Zhu Yuanzhang shouted.

Queen Ma, who was about to rest, was stunned, and then she looked full of joy. It took a long time since she heard Zhu Yuanzhang's words so happy.

He raised his head and saw Zhu Yuanzhang walking in with excitement.

"What does this taste like? Ahem..."

As soon as Queen Ma opened her mouth, she smelled a strange fragrance, and there was also some choking smell of chili peppers.

Then, I immediately thought of something and blurted out.

"Zhongba, has Zian invented a new delicacy?"

"Hahaha, you are still smart, you can guess it!"

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and said, "However, there is another greater joy, which will be of great significance to the country!"

"Have you made great contributions to the country?"

Queen Ma was stunned and looked curious. "Zhongba, what's the big deal?"

"letter!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked happy, "Zi'an created a letter that is simple and easy to learn, and can also help children and the people learn words quickly and learn literacy!"

“So magical?”

Queen Ma couldn't help but show a look of surprise, "In this way, I really have made contributions to the country!"

"Not only that, there is also a number that can also be used to perform very simple arithmetic!" Zhu Yuanzhang said again.

"Ahem... Zi'an is so talented!... Cough... Chongba, what did you eat tonight? Why do you have such a strong and choking smell on your body?"

Queen Ma frowned slightly, and after smelling Zhu Yuanzhang, she felt a violent cough, "Cough cough..."

"We just ate hot pot, and didn't eat anything strange?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was slightly stunned, smelled it on himself, and frowned even though he was still there.

"Strange, it really tastes like hot pot!"

"When it comes to hot pot, we're really thirsty. Jinju, pour us some water!"

"yes!"

Jin Ju, who was waiting beside her, quickly poured Zhu Yuanzhang a cup of tea.

"Huh, comfortable!"

After drinking a cup of Qingling Tea, Zhu Yuanzhang felt much more comfortable all over his body.

"Hmm? Chongba, why is your voice a little hoarse?" Hearing this, Empress Ma frowned slightly again and said with some concern.

"There are more peppers in the hot pot!"

Zhu Yuanzhang chuckled softly.

Then, he smiled and said, "Girl, it's getting late. Let's take a rest when we wash away the smell of our bodies!"

Upon hearing this, Empress Ma couldn't help but glance at Zhu Yuanzhang, and then ordered Jin Ju and his maids to prepare hot water.

Jin Ju and others have long been accustomed to this.

In the kitchenette of Kunning Palace, hot water is also prepared every day, waiting for Zhu Yuanzhang to come and take a bath.

Soon, a steaming pot of hot water and a large wooden barrel were put into the bedroom by a group of maids.

Maybe there is something very important, Zhu Yuanzhang washed away very quickly.

"Um?……"

I just came out of the wooden barrel and the water stains on my body have not been wiped clean.

After feeling a chill, Zhu Yuanzhang felt a pain in his stomach!
