I want to be a grandson

Chapter 171 Porcelain

After Zhu Yunxi returned to the East Palace, the eunuch Wang Zhong hurriedly called warm water to wash his feet, and Li Fu was also waiting on him.

The fatigue on Zhu Yunxi's body was relieved, and he felt better. He asked, "How is my sister's condition? I've been too busy these two days, so I didn't have time to see her. Nothing happened, right?"

Li Fu replied: "Your Highness, please rest assured, Princess Jiangdu's condition has recovered. The imperial doctor said that there is no root cause of the disease, so Your Highness does not need to worry any more."

While washing his feet, Wang Zhong said: "The slaves have already ordered the eunuchs and maids in the East Palace to be rectified, especially the ones around Princess Jiangdu, so nothing can go wrong."

Zhu Yunxi nodded, and still ordered: "The princess should be more careful, anyone who dares to act presumptuously will be killed directly! Don't have any scruples!"

"Yes! The servant obeys!"

Li Fu hesitated for a while and said: "Your Highness, Your Majesty promised the Second Highness today to open a course to obtain a scholar this year. In this way..."

Zhu Yunxi frowned, and said reproachfully, "What other people do is their business, you don't have to care about it! Just do your own thing well!"

Li Fu hastily saluted and said: "I know my mistake, Your Highness please punish me!"

Zhu Yunxie warned: "Remember, you two, no matter what schemes are used by the other side, you must never follow it. Conspiracies and tricks will never be on the stage at any time, and you will be vulnerable to a majestic teacher!"

"Please remember, servant girl, please rest assured, Your Highness!" The two replied in unison.

Zhu Yunxi was also at a loss about Zhu Yuanzhang's promise to Zhu Yunqi to open the imperial examination to obtain scholars.

It stands to reason that Enke was taught last year. If it is opened again this year, wouldn't it be selected from the candidates who were unsuccessful last year?

And what he said to Zhu Yuanzhang today, he also agrees very much, and it must have gone to his heart.

If what I said was meritocracy and appointment according to ability, then Zhu Yunqi's opening of a department is completely contrary to him.

What he wants to use are scholars, and scholars who have in-depth research on Confucian classics!
Zhu Yunxi does not deny that there are good talents among them, but he has to admit that there are still many people who are dead-educated and cannot be praised in government affairs at all.

And there is another problem, that is, if the subject is opened repeatedly, the emperor will be greatly restricted!
Because the scholars have passed the Jinshi examination, how will the emperor arrange them?
They must be entrusted with official positions, otherwise they will not be appointed after passing the Jinshi examination, and scholars all over the world will discuss it!
And the class of scholars occupies a great deal of weight in Daming, once they get into trouble, it will affect the stability of the court!
Therefore, the emperor's usual practice is to place those who can only study but have no talent in the Imperial Academy.

Let them study history books, formulate laws, or write some government documents.

It is different to select officials from Juren, because the base is large, and the emperor has more choices.

Zhu Yuanzhang has only held several imperial examinations for so many years since he ascended the throne, in order to select good talents.

Since his own words had reached his heart, why did he grant Zhu Yunwen the favor?

Thinking of Zhu Yuanzhang's instructions and teachings to him today, Zhu Yunxi felt his heart burning.

What he taught was the art of the emperor. Could it be that Zhu Yuanzhang intended to make himself a grandson?
It is hard for Zhu Yuanzhang's actions not to cause doubts.

But Zhu Yunxi could only imagine that if Zhu Yuanzhang didn't make a decision, he couldn't slack off for a day.

……

"How's the Department of Commerce?"

As soon as Zhu Yunxi came to the household department the next day, he immediately asked about the situation of the Department of Commerce and Trade.

Tie Xuan replied excitedly: "His Royal Highness, the Department of Commerce has finally achieved success! Yesterday, many people came to the Department of Commerce to recommend themselves, and the subordinates took the initiative to hire nine people.
There are still some leftovers that need to be considered again, all of which depend on the majesty of His Highness, congratulations to His Highness! "

Zhu Yunxi nodded and said, "Very well, no matter what, I must thank Duke Wei's mansion this time for letting Lin Zheng come to see me."

As soon as Zhu Yunxi gave an order, a small official went to call Lin Zheng over.

Tie Xuan asked suspiciously: "His Royal Highness, you appointed Lin Zheng as a sixth-rank official yesterday, and asked him to go to the official kiln for trial. Could it be that you want him to go to the Imperial Ware Factory..."

What Tie Xuan was talking about was the Imperial Ware Factory, because there really was no such thing as an official kiln at this time.

In the Song Dynasty, the imperial court set up an imperial wares factory in Jingdezhen, and later Yuan Shizu Kublai Khan set up the Fuliang Porcelain Bureau in Zhushan, responsible for making imperial porcelain for the royal family.

In the second year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang renamed the Fuliang Porcelain Bureau again as Yuqi Factory.

Zhu Yunxi heard the worry in Tie Xuan's heart.

So he said: "You don't have to worry, the Imperial Ware Factory usually doesn't open kilns, and only when there is a need in the palace, it will be fired in large quantities. Isn't a good Imperial Ware Factory idle! It's just a kiln factory. Grandpa won't care!"

Hearing this, Tie Xuan was relieved, no matter what, the Imperial Ware Factory belonged to the palace industry, and they all made exquisite utensils for the palace, belonging to the imperial palace.

What would His Majesty think if the Ministry of Finance took the imperial equipment factory over rashly?
This is Zhu Yunxi, who would not dare to be any courtier!

"My subordinate, Lin Zheng, pay homage to Your Highness!" Lin Zheng had already been summoned, bowed down and said.

"Get up, don't be too polite."

Lin Zheng stood up, bowed and asked, "I don't know what orders does His Highness have for summoning his subordinates?"

Zhu Yunxi didn't answer, but asked Tie Xuan, "Is the Imperial Ware Factory under the management of the palace or the prefecture?"

Tie Xuan replied: "Reporting to Your Highness, the Imperial Ware Factory is usually under the jurisdiction of Fuliang County and Raozhou Prefecture in Jingdezhen. Only when porcelain needs to be fired in the palace, the imperial court will send special personnel to supervise the kiln."

Zhu Yunxi nodded, and said with a smile: "That will just reduce the busyness of the officials in Raozhou Prefecture..."

Then he said to Lin Zheng: "You go to the Zhushan Imperial Ware Factory in Raozhou Prefecture to be a kiln official. From today onwards, the Imperial Ware Factory will be renamed the official kiln, and the porcelain that needs to be fired in the palace will continue as usual. It is necessary to fire porcelain for folk use and use Jingdezhen as the name."

The reason why Zhu Yunxi said this is because the name Jingdezhen already existed, and it was not created by him.

In the first year of Jingde in the Northern Song Dynasty, Zhao Huan named this place "Jingdezhen" and it was under the jurisdiction of Fuliang County.

Lin Zheng said with some concern: "Your Highness, Jingde is the name of a place, and there are other folk kilns in the area. Does this name..."

The name of the firm with the name of the place will indeed displease the colleagues. After all, if you use words as the name of the firm, how can others use it?How to mark the place of origin?

But Zhu Yunxi said indifferently: "You don't have to worry about this, it's just a name, don't worry about what they do!"

"Yes! This subordinate obeys"
