golden scales

On the first sunset in the 18th year of Chongzhen, Zhu Cihong sat in the courtyard, wrapped in a thick leather jacket, looking up at the increasingly clear starry sky in the sky.In this era, which is more than a hundred years away from the industrial world, the starry sky is so bright and so deep.Only such a starry sky can make human beings aware of their own insignificance and be in awe.

If possible, Zhu Cihong hoped that while saving Daming, he would also save the world.

With this thought, Zhu Cihong laughed himself.

Perhaps due to the influence of hormones, Zhu Cihong found that her originally sophisticated and efficient mind would often have some naive and romantic thoughts.In fact, he knows very well that there has never been a savior in this world.It is good enough that people can save themselves, and most people are waiting to be saved.

And all they got in the end was disappointment.

"Master, why are you sitting here?" Lu Suyao walked into the courtyard with a dragonfly-shaped head on her head, and saw Zhu Cihong sitting alone in the courtyard, she was almost out of her wits.

"I want to be alone for a while." Zhu Cihong said.

"Master, it's still cold today." Lu Suyao hurriedly stepped forward and said, "I have to change a pair of fur boots for you anyway."

Zhu Cihong stood up unhappily, walked into the room, and said as he walked, "Didn't you know that you can't drink on duty?"

"Your maidservant knows your mistake." Lu Suyao's knees softened and she knelt on the ground, tears were already falling down.

Lu Suyao finally couldn't hold back the tears that she had endured for a day.She quickly lowered her head lower, for fear of committing a taboo.Anyway.Crying on New Year's Eve is very unlucky.

"Did you suffer any grievances?" Zhu Cihong asked.

"No..." Lu Suyao instinctively wanted to deny it, but she didn't know why.There was a deep sense of unwillingness in her heart. "Today Liu Gong is calling the servants to teach them a lesson. It's the servants who didn't realize that His Highness's court clothes are too small, causing His Highness to be disrespectful in front of the saint." Lu Suyao said, holding back her tears.

——I have to deal with the work assigned by the prince all the time every day, even when menstruation comes, I have to stay up late and get up early!Why are you scolding me for nothing just because of one mistake?It's like I just eat and don't cook.

Lu Suyao had great resentment in her heart, but she couldn't say these words, at least she couldn't reveal them to anyone before she became the head of the female officials in the harem.

"Your work is already very heavy, such trivial matters should not be your responsibility." Zhu Cihong said. "Also, don't be too harsh on yourself, learn to relax, some people's words don't necessarily need to be taken to heart."

"Ah?" Lu Suyao suddenly raised her head, she never expected that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would say such a thing.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would say such considerate words!

Indeed, His Highness has always been kind to others, and even more generous to his subordinates.But this His Highness never seems to understand other people's thoughts, and he doesn't bother to understand... He is like a fairy standing on the top of a high mountain, looking at the disputes in the world, the most he can say is: ignorance. ...and still let the world go his way.

If the Ming Emperor is the most powerful person in the world, then His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the one who can truly use this power for himself.

And now, the crown prince actually said such heart-warming words!

Lu Suyao only felt that her body was light and light, and all her resentment turned into flying smoke.Dissipated.

"Stop kneeling, go to bed early, sort out the materials of the technical college tomorrow morning, and hand them over to me in the afternoon. Get ready and go to Laizhou the day after tomorrow. Oh, yes, go ask King Dongyuan. If he is interested in the technical college, just say Invite him to go and have a look together. I think he seems to have some ideas about mathematics." Zhu Cihong said.

"I understand." After being healed, Lu Suyao quickly stood up from the cold ground and resumed her role as an attendant.She felt very guilty about her younger daughter's mentality just now, and felt that she had failed the trust and teaching of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

——Hope there will never be a next time!

Lu Suyao pinched her palm secretly, keeping it firmly in mind.

"You have to learn to relax, and you should take necessary vacations." Zhu Cihong continued to walk into the house: "It's not a sin to indulge once in a while. Don't let people say that I use the female officer as a man."

"I understand." Lu Suyao said.

Zhu Cihong turned around, smiled lovingly and said, "I won't call you tonight, just get a good night's sleep, and just come to the office at Maoshi."

"Thank you Your Highness for your kindness!" Lu Suyao replied happily, but she had already made up her mind in her heart that she must not indulge her weakness.This time, I have taken a day off during the Chinese New Year. How can I go to work half an hour late tomorrow?And the technical college's information this time... is still a bit too much.

Thinking of this, Lu Suyao woke up from the wine, and was quite afraid that she would not be able to complete the task on time tomorrow, and looking at the time, it was not too late.She immediately remembered that she hadn't studied "Physics" and "Mathematics" as planned in the past two days, and her feelings of guilt and remorse grew stronger, and her steps became much faster.

……

"We are entrusted with the grace of the emperor and the heavy responsibility of accounting and wealth, how can we indulge in pleasure!" Yao Tao stood in the brightly lit office room of the household department, pacing and patrolling. Under her words and eyes, these accountants I worked hard, carefully calculating various data, and the voices of dialing the abacus kept coming and going.

Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and as the only department that has to go to work among the six departments, these accountants are naturally a little distracted, and some people even said strange things, complaining that the Tianjia people are too mean.It was precisely because of this that Yao Tao felt that it was necessary to beat everyone while they were working to refresh their spirits.

"Those soldiers who defended against the captives and trespassers did not have any festivals! Even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not relax because of the Chinese New Year!" Yao Tao's voice echoed faintly in the three-room office.

No one can refute her words, because the work tasks that are constantly dropped today are the proof that the crown prince himself is also working hard.

"Your Highness commended us very much in front of the empress today. How can we live up to the love of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? If anyone has any thoughts that should not be there, you can report it yourself. You are the only one in the world who can do it." Are you making plans!" Yao Tao's eyes fell on the two male principals.

They seemed to be pricked by needles, their hands trembled, and they buried their heads even lower.

In front of the empress today, Zhu Cihong did give the female officer of the household department a big face.Not only praised them for their hard work and outstanding ability, but also let the empress choose a few female officials at random to perform mental arithmetic on the spot.After adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing a long series of numbers, these female officials were able to blurt out the final result, amazed on the spot.

This is the abacus that has been typed thousands of times, and there is already an abacus in my heart that does not need to be dialed.

There are also such people among male accountants, but the proportion is not as high as that of female officials.According to Zhu Cihong's analysis, it should be the difference in the degree of work commitment.Female officials who can get out of the deep palace and be reused will have a stronger sense of responsibility and honor than male officials who have been robbed of the limelight.This is also Yao Tao's daily observations, and she believed it even more after hearing what the crown prince said, so she decided to strictly demand the male officials, and she must not let them hold back the entire household department.

……

Zhu Cihong returned to the bedroom, the room had already been incensed, and the bedding had been warmed with Tang Pozi.

The whole room is lit by dozens of candles.In order to protect the eyes, Zhu Cihong will not reduce the amount of candles no matter how frugal he is.This is also impossible. Who made this era without kerosene lamps?

It is not impossible to produce kerosene, but a large amount of crude oil is required for experimental fractionation, and the only oil well that can be exploited in China is in Shaanxi.

Thinking that Shaanxi had fallen into the hands of the Qing army, Zhu Cihong originally planned to relax, but the idea of ​​resting earlier was shattered.He walked slowly to Huanghuali's desk, slid his fingers across the stacks of books, and finally landed on a book that was almost covered in dust: "Bylaws of the Great Ming Law Collection".

To change a society, it is absolutely impossible to make a breakthrough.As the troika of social change, economy, culture and law are indispensable.Among them, although the law is in a dominant position, its sharpness has attracted the attention of the world.

Zhu Cihong also had a degree in law in her previous life. She thought it would be easy to revise the "Law of the Ming Dynasty", but after she really integrated into the society of the Ming Dynasty, she found that her thinking was still too naive and the time was far from ripe.
