Daming: I, Yang Xian, really govern Yang!

"In addition, by doing this, he not only saved the face of his father, but also Huaixi, paved the way for himself, and did not forget to stand up and report himself. This Hu Weiyong is really capable."

Zhu Biao paused, his expression became extremely serious, and then he said: "You are so capable that I feel chills in my heart."

Zhu Yuanzhang sat in his seat, with no change in his expression. He pondered for a moment and said, "Since he is so capable, there is no reason why he is not useful."

"Yes, I understand." Zhu Biao bowed and replied.

Zhu Yuanzhang stood up, walked outside the palace, took a look at the sky, and said, "At this time, your old Taishan should have entered the palace."

"Yes, it is inconvenient for men in the palace to come in and out, but it is more convenient for the family. Even if Xiongying wants to run away to study, Mr. Yunwen still needs someone to enlighten him. As a grandfather, he is perfect." Zhu Biao followed and spoke. road.

"How is he?" Zhu Yuanzhang paused and asked.

"He has good knowledge and good moral conduct. Before the education reform, he was in charge of Guozi studies in the Ministry of Rites in the past few years and recommended many students from the country. My son also asked the Ministry of Personnel to pass the examination. These students of his were promoted to local officials. The sound is pretty good," Zhu Biao replied with a smile.

It can be seen that he is very satisfied with his old father-in-law Zhu Biao. Lu Ben was very good at cultivating qi, and he also hid his thoughts very deeply. The original time and space finally landed safely. After his death, he made an exception and ordered the Ministry of Industry to provide a coffin and bury him south of Zhongshan Mountain.

"I used to be in charge of Guozixue, but now I'm in the Ministry of Education," Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

"Yes."

"As the saying goes, if you are capable, there is no reason why it is not useful. Now that the post of Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs is vacant, I will bring this good news to you, Lao Taishan." Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile.

Zhu Biao said: "With his talents, being a minister of the Ministry of Education is okay, but serving as a minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs is probably a bit reluctant."

"That's it, let's do it first." Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said.

"Yes."

Royal Palace, East Palace.

Reading room.

"The sky and the earth are dark and yellow, and the universe is primitive.

The sun and the moon are full, and the stars and constellations are spread out.

Cold comes and summer comes, autumn harvests and winter stores.”

The sound of reading loudly came from inside the house.

A middle-aged man paced back and forth in the room. After the two imperial grandsons finished memorizing today's lessons, he showed a kind and kind smile on his face and said, "Let's stop here today."

The middle-aged man is none other than Zhu Biao's old Taishan Lu Ben.

The two imperial grandsons, Zhu Xiongying and Zhu Yunwen, stood up quickly and saluted, "Thank you, sir."

Lu Ben bowed in return.

Lu Ben could tell that the emperor's grandson Zhu Xiongying didn't pay attention to today's lessons at all, and his eyes wandered while listening to the class.

He walked up to Zhu Xiongying, bent down and said: "Your Highness, Changsun, His Highness the Crown Prince has asked me to be responsible for teaching you, and I must shoulder this responsibility well. Today is the first time. If I don't pay attention in class again next time."

Speaking of which, Lu Ben took out a wooden ruler from his sleeve and said, "Sir, I'm going to use this to teach you a lesson."

"I understand, sir." Zhu Xiongying responded quickly.

Zhu Biao, who came in from outside, happened to see this scene and was even more satisfied with Lu Ben.

When Lu Ben saw Zhu Biao, he immediately saluted and said, "I, Lu Ben, have met His Highness the Crown Prince."

Zhu Biao waved his hand and said with a smile: "This is the East Palace, my father-in-law doesn't need to be polite."

"I've met my father." Zhu Xiongying and Zhu Yunwen on the side saw their father and hurriedly came over to salute.

"Zhu Xiongying!"

With just a look, Zhu Xiongying immediately knelt down.

Zhu Biao looked at him, his head hurting a little. The child Zhu Xiongying's personality was not like him, but more like the fourth child Zhu Di.

On the contrary, he is not as stable as Zhu Yunwen, who is younger than him.

Zhu Biao said in a deep voice: "We were in class just now, and you didn't pay attention to the lecture again?"

Zhu Xiongying knelt on the ground and replied: "I know my mistake."

Zhu Biao said: "Kowtow to your husband three times."

"Your Highness, I have already punished the emperor's eldest grandson." Seeing this, Lu Ben hurriedly stepped forward and said. "The age of the emperor's eldest grandson is the time when he can make leaps and bounds. As long as he knows his mistakes and can correct them."

I already had the apprenticeship ceremony yesterday.

As a minister, he couldn't help but kowtow to him every day when the emperor's eldest grandson kowtows to him.

Zhu Biao said: "You can't make a weapon without polishing it. Your father-in-law is doing the right thing. I asked Xiongying to kowtow to you because in the next period of time, Xiongying will leave your education temporarily. Let him remember that one day he will be a teacher." , the principle of being a teacher for life.”

Lu Ben really only became Zhu Xiongying's husband for one day.

"Your Highness, do you have other plans?" Lu Ben asked.

Zhu Biao nodded and said, "Let's not hide this from my father-in-law. My father said that since Xiongying wants to go to an elementary school outside, let him go."

Zhu Xiongying, who was kneeling on the ground, almost jumped up after hearing the great news.

Zhu Biao glared at him and said: "I'm going to say something ugly first. Since this is the path you have chosen, you will have to swallow whatever hardship you suffer in the future. Don't expose your identity easily outside. What can you do? At this point, I promise you.”

"I can do it, I can do it." Zhu Xiongying nodded repeatedly.

Lu Ben never imagined that Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao would agree to the emperor's eldest grandson to study outside the palace.

"This matter is related to Xiongying's safety. Please ask your father-in-law to help keep it secret." Zhu Biao turned to look at Lu Ben and said.

"I will definitely keep this secret." Lu Ben said solemnly.

"I said there's no need to be polite. Gu naturally trusts his father-in-law." Zhu Biao stretched out his hand to help Lu Ben up and said with a smile. "I have some good news for you. You will be transferred from the Ministry of Education soon."

"Taking office as Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs."

The Ministry of Personnel is responsible for the appointment, removal, assessment, promotion, and transfer of officials across the country.

It can be said to be the core department of power.

As an official in the Ministry of Personnel, the authority he holds is far beyond what departments such as the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Rites can compare with.

Lu Ben has been in officialdom for a long time and naturally knows the pros and cons.

"My lord, Lu Ben, would like to thank His Highness the Crown Prince." Lu Ben bowed and bowed to the ground.

Originally, Lu Ben had some grudges about Zhu Xiongying going to an elementary school outside. But now that he was overwhelmed by this great happy event, the grudges naturally disappeared without a trace.

"Also, I will continue to rely on you for Yun Wen's teachings." Zhu Biao smiled and patted Lu Ben on the shoulder and said. "I will do my best," Lu Ben said.

Although Zhu Xiongying was allowed to study outside the palace, as Zhu Biao said before, this is a big event after all, and there are still many things that need to be dealt with.

Zhu Biao's disguised identity, the specific school, how to ensure security, and other issues all need to be confirmed.

These matters must be explained clearly to Zhu Xiongying.

Therefore, after a brief greeting, Zhu Biao took Zhu Xiongying away to arrange these matters.

In the house, only Lu Ben and Zhu Yunwen, the grandfather and grandson, were left.

Lu Ben looked at Zhu Yunwen and asked, "His Royal Highness the Emperor's Grandson is going to study outside the palace with those common people. Are you envious?"

Zhu Yunwen shook his head.

Lu Ben was a little surprised by Zhu Yunwen's reaction.

Lu Ben showed an interested smile on his face, squatted down and said, "Why?"

"My mother once told me not to get too close to the servants in the palace. She said that we should always maintain the majesty of the royal family. If like my brother, I go to study outside with those common people, I really can't think of any way. To avoid getting close to them." Zhu Yunwen touched his head and said in a childish voice.

It is not easy for a child to say this.

Lu Ben said: "Sir, please tell His Royal Highness why your mother asked you to do this, because if you are close, you will be mediocre, and if you are sparse, you will be powerful."

"Confucius once said that if you treat others with solemnity, you will be respectful. This sentence means that superiors should not be too close to subordinates, but should keep a certain distance from them and give subordinates a solemn face. Only in this way can they Gain their respect."

To translate what Lu Ben said, you can be good to the people and be a benevolent king, but you cannot be close to them. The kindness to him should be the kind of kindness that a superior would give to a subordinate.

Only in this way can the people below truly understand the truth that "Thunder, rain, and dew are all your kindness."

Zhu Yunwen nodded as if he understood, and said, "The student has taken note of it."

Lu Ben looked at Zhu Yunwen with a look of relief in his eyes.

I have written down some truths. It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand them now. You will understand them one day.

Lu Ben had high expectations for Zhu Yunwen, not only because Zhu Yunwen was his student, but also because Zhu Yunwen was his grandson and grandson.

Lu Ben had no children and only raised one daughter, Lu.

There is only one grandson like Zhu Yunwen.

In October of the eleventh year of Hongwu.

After experiencing two major cases in succession, the court finally announced a happy event.

That is, the Twelve Princes finally successfully developed a new type of train with the help of a group of researchers from the Yangzhou Scientific Research Institute.

In terms of railways, Yang Xianben has been busy over the past two years to solve the transportation problems in several western provinces. The first to be completed was a railway from Huaixi to Xi'an.

Although this railway is still a little rough compared to later generations, its speed has far surpassed today's animal-drawn train system.

After calculation, the speed can reach 80 kilometers per hour.

Don't think that coal-burning people can't run fast.

Zhu Yuanzhang and the others were shocked enough when they used the animal-drawn train.

But when they saw the real train now, they were even more shocked.

It's only been a few years.

In many parts of the Ming Dynasty, even animal-powered trains have not yet been built, but now upgraded versions of fire-powered trains have been released.

When a country is in a stage of ultra-high-speed development, this will often happen, that is, many technologies will often develop by leaps and bounds.

Fengyang, Huaixi, railway station.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the huge and handsome locomotive in front of him and couldn't help but ask: "Can this thing really drive the train forward without horses?"

You must know that just by looking at it with the naked eye, you can see that the tonnage of the new train in front of you is not at the same level as the previous animal-drawn trains.

The twelfth prince Zhu Bai said: "Back to my father, what really drives the train forward is the steam engine in the locomotive. It is the same thing that I demonstrated to the civil and military officials in the palace a few years ago."

As a new train designer, Zhu Bai began to carefully introduce to Zhu Yuanzhang the first fire-powered train of the Ming Dynasty, from the materials of the body, various details, to the principles of train operation. It has to be said that after these years of systematic study, Zhu Bai is now a serious scientific researcher, and his scientific research level is not low. Privately, everyone calls him and Shen Cheng together the Ming Dynasty scientific research community. of two rising stars.

Yang Xian on the side was chatting with Zhu Biao.

Zhu Biao said: "If the railway is opened, then the plan to revitalize the central and western parts of the Ming Dynasty proposed by Yang Qing can be implemented."

Yang Xian nodded. It turned out that Zhu Biao had always kept this in mind.

Yang Xian said: "Although the transportation system can continue to evolve, the firepower trains are now sufficient. For His Highness and the Ming Dynasty, the most important thing now is to seize the time to connect the country's railways."

"While building railways, we are also undertaking large-scale infrastructure construction, which can increase domestic demand and accelerate the pace of development in Ming Dynasty."

Yang Xian looked at the train in the distance. From a distance, it looked like an Eastern dragon.

The flying dragon is in the sky.

The Ming Dynasty took off in just these few decades.

Seize the opportunity of this transformation and the West will never stand a chance again.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhu Biao chatted with Yang Xian about his son Zhu Xiongying.

Regarding Yang Xian, Zhu Biao did not have any reservations and directly told Zhu Xiongying what he meant and the fact that he was currently studying at the No. 1 Primary School in Beijing.

Zhu Biao wanted to ask Yang Xian's opinion.

Yang Xian smiled and said: "This is a good thing. There is always time to study. When children are young, it is more important to cultivate their interest in learning. Whether it is the main hall in the palace or the study room in your East Palace, I am afraid that they will not be able to afford it. This can be done in primary schools.”

For a good student like Zhu Biao who strives to make progress, he has never found studying boring since he was a child.

Therefore, I cannot fully sympathize with Zhu Xiongying.

"The second is to cultivate his character. Having more contact with people from all walks of life and all kinds of people outside can make his character stronger and more tenacious, and he will be more understanding of people. Since His Highness the Crown Prince has high hopes for the emperor's eldest grandson, it is even more important. Let him go out and beat him more."

Because school is not just a place to learn knowledge, but in the process of studying, you can also learn how to interact with others, handle conflicts, cooperate, etc. These skills are critical to a child's future success.

Whether it is the main hall of the imperial palace or the study room of the East Palace, they are more similar to home education.

Although family education is crucial to children's growth, there are many aspects of campus education that family education cannot provide.

After listening to Yang Xian's words, Zhu Biao was completely relieved.

Zhu Biao looked at Yang Xian and smiled: "It has been almost two years since Yang Qing and the princess got married. When can I hold the baby?" (End of Chapter)
