Daming Yinghua

Chapter 257 Co-production
After less than half an hour of class, Zheng Haizhu was convinced that Zhu Youxiao was not "illiterate" as later generations called him.

Although the first volume of "Elements of Geometry" is simple and mainly focuses on defining concepts, Xu Guangqi's translation is also accurate and straightforward, but an illiterate will never be able to read and understand "dots have no points, no points" like Zhu Youxiao. Long, short, wide, narrow, thick, and thin; a line has length but not width, try to illuminate it like a plane, and if there is no light and no light, it will be a line." Such sentences.

In fact, Zheng Haizhu did not believe in the statement that Zhu Youxiao was illiterate in his previous life.

Not leaving the court to study does not mean that there is no one in the inner court to give the princes the enlightenment education of literacy and hyphenation.

Wanli's mother, Zhu Youxiao's great-grandmother, Empress Dowager Li, did not die until Wanli 42.Zhu Changluo was born in the palace of Empress Dowager Li, and Empress Dowager Li has always defended Zhu Changluo's family, how could she let the emperor's grandson become illiterate.

The Ming court had an inner study system, and so many eunuchs with excellent education levels in the deep palace could provide basic enlightenment for the princes.

"The eldest son of the emperor can read a lot." Zheng Haizhu waited for Lu Xiangsheng to be promoted to two teenagers, and after a few sections, he suddenly said.

Zhu Youxiao was stunned for a moment, and then he was slightly annoyed: "What does Master Zheng mean by this? I finished reading the Thousand Characters when I was ten years old."

Zheng Haizhu said: "Your Highness, don't be upset. It's just because His Highness hasn't left the court to study in the past few years, and there have been rumors outside, saying that you can't read. I don't believe it. Today I just feel that even the nobles of the sky can be destroyed. Sell ​​bones, those capable and loyal ministers will have nowhere to sue for grievances when confronted by political opponents."

Zhu Youxiao let out an "oh" and relaxed his brows.

After all, he is a young man, and his mind is completely ignorant. He couldn't help sighing: "I told my fifth brother a long time ago that wood is much better than people. Even if the heart of wood is rotten, it won't harm people." , People's hearts are rotten, it's too scary."

Zheng Haizhu thought to himself, this is the golden sentence, who said Zhu Youxiao was stupid?

But Zhu Youjian who was on the side continued to say: "If the wood is rotten, it will also harm people, and the house will collapse."

Zheng Haizhu smiled at him: "Yes, if the materials are improperly taken care of, repaired poorly, or even cut corners in the first place, it will also harm people, and even harm the country and the people. For example, the copper and iron materials used to make firearms, such as the gunpowder used as primers , the forging process and the proportion of compatibility are all very particular. If you are lazy, or if the materials are of poor quality due to layer upon layer of exploitation, it will show its original shape in an instant on the battlefield, and it will be my Daming who killed the enemy with blood Athlete."

After she finished speaking, she gave Lu Xiangsheng the right to speak: "Let Lu Juren tell you about the standards of various firearms. They are all in the Northland and South China Sea. They are especially exciting things for bombing tartars and red hair."

The two brothers You Xiao and You Jian, and they are grown up in the hands of the women in the deep palace, how can the boy's nature be completely lost, when he heard that he was going to talk about fighting and killing the enemy, he immediately became more energetic.

Lu Xiangsheng taught in Zheng Haizhu's Songjiang School four years ago. Today, he returned to his old job and is handy. He not only draws pictures to explain to the two brothers, but also draws on the inspiration of Zhang Mingshi before. Mini nest cars, and something called a "hanging curtain".

"Please look, Your Highnesses, the nest chariot is used to attack the city, and the warriors ride on the wooden box on the axles to ascend to the top of the chariot, and use firecrackers to suppress the defenders on the city. And this hanging curtain is for defending the city. Woodwork with convex shapes at both ends is placed between the battlements, and felt blankets or cotton quilts are covered on the wooden poles, watered thoroughly, which can resist fire oil arrows and musket bullets."

The teacher spoke vividly and meticulously, and the students listened attentively.

Zheng Haizhu took a few steps back, looked at Zhu Youxiao and Zhu Youjian, and their accompanying eunuchs, their buttocks were pouted, their upper bodies were almost lying on the desk, and they leaned their heads together to watch Lu Xiangsheng's demonstration.

This is the teaching effect she wants.

She pursed her lips in satisfaction, and turned to drink the tea that the waiter had poured out, but suddenly saw a pink figure flashing at the entrance of the hall.

Zheng Haizhu walked to the door, and Mrs. Ke came up with a soft and flattering smile, and said to an ebony food tray on the corner table: "Master Zheng, there are snacks in it. The servants come in to serve my brother to eat? Master Zheng Eat a few pieces too, you ordinary people can't eat the cakes in the imperial dining room outside, especially the milk cakes, which are made of..."

"Come in." Zheng Haizhu interrupted her and said calmly.

Ke Yinyue let out a low "Hey", entered the hall, and began to arrange the food boxes.

Zheng Haizhu watched her luxuriant fingers flying up and down, and when she was carrying the plate to the desk, the gaze in her pair of almond eyes had switched to a charming look.

"Brother, I'm eating milk."

Ke Yinyue spoke gracefully.

Lu Xiangsheng, who was concentrating on explaining the mechanics, turned his head abruptly, and was taken aback by this peach-blossom-like woman. He realized that she was probably the prince's nurse, and hurriedly moved his eyes back to the side.

Ke Yinyue thought in his heart, the handsome son, who is not wearing an official uniform, is young and following the woman surnamed Zheng, could it be her little boy.

But she quickly stopped her nasty associations, and said softly to Zhu Youxiao: "Drenched with sweet-scented osmanthus honey, brother eat quickly."

Zhu Youjiao was thinking about a lifting mechanism in the nest car, but was suddenly interrupted by Ke Shi, a trace of impatience flashed across his face.

"Don't eat, I'm busy, and I'm not hungry, what kind of milk can I eat?"

Ke Yinyue choked, and immediately, as if there was a cotton ball stuffed in her throat, she said softly, "Take a few bites before giving a lecture, it won't delay the time. Come on, little gentleman, you can eat too."

"Mother Ke!" Seeing Ke Yinyue's flirtatious eyes cast back on Lu Xiangsheng's face, Zhu Youjian suddenly felt that he had lost his members of the Zhu family. A youthful spirit rose up, and he immediately stopped, "This is Wen Hua Dian, sir is giving a lecture, you go out."

Ke Yinyue retracted her hand holding the pastry plate, she looked at Zheng Haizhu: "Master Zheng allowed me to come in."

Zheng Haizhu came over and said to her in a slow and gentle voice: "I am an official, I can allow you to come in, but this Wenhua Palace is also the courtyard of the emperor. If the fifth prince asks you to go out, you can go out."

"Hey, mommy, don't bother me first, just wait outside the hall." Zhu Youxiao said with a final word.

Now he sees that his younger brother doesn't like the Ke family, and he is afraid that his younger brother will say more harsh words. If someone outside the church hears it and announces the turmoil to Wang An, he might as well tell his mother to leave first.

Ke Yinyue felt her cheeks burning hot and was annoyed in her heart, but in the end she just flattened her mouth, turned around and met Zheng Haizhu's eyes, then moved away, and retreated to the outside of the hall, sulking as she went to the corridor of the hall.

"Mother has a temper," Zheng Haizhu shook her head with a smile, and said to Lu Xiangsheng, "Go on."

Today's lecture ended at the beginning of noon, and the two brothers of the Zhu family still had more to say.

The palace prepared lunch for the lecturer. When Zheng and Lu went to eat with the waiters, Zhu Youxiao followed with his younger brother. Pointing to the small river east of the Wenhua Hall, he suggested enthusiastically, "Master Zheng!" , Mr. Lu, when we come back to the lecture in a few days, you can use that place to simulate a water battle, right?"

Zheng Haizhu glanced at Lu Xiangsheng, and said with a smile, "His Highness, when Mr. Lu was in our school, he taught the students about turtle boats in the pond in the garden."

Zhu Youjian also raised his face, his eyes were as bright as stars: "What is a turtle boat?"

Lu Xiangsheng said: "It's a very interesting and powerful warship. The North Korean navy used this boat to defeat the Japanese. The boat looks like a tortoise, but it contains many tricks inside."

Zheng Haizhu added in a timely manner: "Your Highness loves wood art very much. The next time I teach, the two of us will bring some new materials, and together with your two Highnesses, we will make a turtle boat."

"Okay! Then, when is the next time?" Zhu Youxiao's expression at this moment was as eager as readers waiting online for an update.

Zheng Haizhu smiled: "Master, I'm going to ask Sun Hanlin, Your Highness, don't worry, if it's a few days later, it may not be bad. With more time, the organization brought by Mr. Lu and I can think about it better."

She paused, and then told the two teenagers sincerely: "The lessons taught by Master Sun and other masters, no matter the interpretation of the Four Books or the Tao of Nongsang, are all the best knowledge in the world. You must pay attention to them." Put all your heart into learning. Besides, if you are biased, Mr. Lu and I may not be able to come again."

Her last words were lowered.

Zhu Youxiao and Zhu Youjian understood that the two teachers in front of them were not famous ministers or editors of the Imperial Academy, if they were accused of misleading the prince to be obsessed with strange skills and ingenuity, their status as lecturers would be lost in an instant.

This kind of understanding made the two young men suddenly feel closer, as if they were the same as Master Zheng and Mr. Lu, the gunmen fired from the nest cart and the infantry attacking the city under the nest cart. Companions of the camp.
