Transmigrating To The Ming Dynastys Imperial Examination - Chapter 280

After the teaching, Mr. Gao arranged a meal outside the West Point Gate. Thanks to the blessing of this special education, Xie Ying, a teaching assistant, also talked about the banquet. On the way home, he recalled the meal and said with a slight emotion: “In fact, the usual gift banquet is no different, but it’s a little bit. Speaking of’, I feel that the food tastes much better at Tsinghua University.”

Cui Xie pondered for a while, and asked, “Xu usually gives you these military attaches meat dishes, but this time they give me healthy meals?”

It really matters.

Usually the banquet is mainly stewed, fried or cured lamb, pork, chicken, duck, fish and shrimp. There are few vegetables. The meat and vegetables in this meal are boiled and steamed, and there are many wild vegetables. Seasonal vegetables do not use a lot of oil, so they are naturally refreshing.

Xie Ying smiled and said: “It must be Father Gao who knows that you are a senior who can guide and maintain health, and the arrangements for you are also plain mussels. I borrowed your light and ate some good dishes. I will bring the dishes back later. Divide the points and send some to our two families, so that the family members will be touched by the holy grace of the emperor.”

Xie Yings experience was more than that of Cui Xie. He asked the family to divide the dishes and gave a few dishes to each family.

In the good afternoon, Cui Xie asked for leave again at home, and Xie Ying didn’t want to go to Zhenfusi to hang around, so she went home and went to Cui Xie’s house to hear him talk about the principles of the lens. Cui Xie squeezed everything out of his mind when he fooled the prince. He didn’t want to waste time on optics, so he tricked him into taking advantage of this time to go out and play.

The two of them haven’t been out for a long time. Isn’t April Day the time to go out?

Xie Ying hesitated for a while and asked, “You called someone to be impeached. I haven’t written the guilt book yet. Isn’t it appropriate to go out? Let the officials see…”

Not afraid!

If you ask someone to see it, you can put up another book of essays, except that when you entered the palace this morning, I heard that the cement they made was helping the frontier army break the bandits. I was so excited, I went to the cement kiln outside the city to see the cement material burned. System progress.

Cui Xie took a long time in the morning and didnt finish writing the guilty plea. He put together a few hundred-character phrases, and wrote two thank-you forms, and then smiled at Xie Ying: “Its a good time to drop the melodies. Go to the General Secretary, and then we will stay out of the city for one night.”

The proposal of overnight out of town is quite attractive. Xie Ying also immediately threw “the law of heaven” behind her head, obeyed the “human desires”, copied her own thank-you form, and asked the two family members to hand over this chapter to the Secretary of General Affairs, and she accompanied Cui Xie out of the city.

Cui Xie’s pleas were neglected, and without the emperor’s instructions, he could just ask for leave and not go to work.

Since starting work on the 21st of the first lunar month, he hasn’t taken a break, and he has taken a break when he catches the opportunity. The two of them ran on Zhuangzi outside the city for a while during the day, watching the burning cement powder, and asking the family to find the craftsman who polished Zhu Zhishan’s glasses to make a concave lens. At night, they went to the theater dressed as scholars. happy.

Zhu Zhishan and Li Mengyang are really talented people who have stayed in the history. How long has the “Daily Agricultural Classic” been written, some people in Wasi outside the city have adapted the short stories inside into new plays and speaking books. When several masons were sitting together listening to the wine, they seemed to be very proficient in Zhuge Liang as the second ancestor besides Lu Ban.

Xie Ying’s ears are sharp and he can hear clearly. She chuckles a few times and listens to Cui Xie in a low voice: “These people don’t read carefully. The book “Zhuge Liang Builds Ash City in One Night” clearly says that the one who built the Ash House The method was written by Wang Zhen of the former Yuan Dynasty. They do not worship Wang Zhen. They should also worship you, the editor-in-chief who singled out his method and called people into the album. This is the wrong person.”

Cui Xie covered his face slightly with the tea cup, turned sideways and replied: “It’s time to worship me soon. Not only to worship me, but also to you-we two have made cement. Master Lu Ban is the founder of the mountain. How can we be considered the ancestors of ZTE.”

Not “to be the ancestor of ZTE”, but “to be the ancestor of ZTE”. In the future, when those masons offer tablets for the Patriarch, they should offer their tablets together.

Thinking of this in Xie Ying’s heart, she couldn’t help but burst of joy in her heart – if so, the two of them would have spirits after death, and they could stay together forever. They were not afraid of being buried too far, they could only be separated in two places.

His eyes were radiant, and he replied with a smile: “Then we should run to the kiln more in the future and stare at them to make good cement.”

Although the Ministry of Engineering is already trial-producing cement powder, Cui Xies knowledge of cement is derived from modern times. It is more convenient to use their own kiln to make it. Thinking of what materials can be added to it. What is being burned now is a new type of cement powder added with waste **** from iron smelting in the blacksmith’s home. The effect is not clear.

Xie Ying used to think that the cement powder was almost burnt out, and it was not worth seeing if it condensed or not. It took ten days and twenty days to see it. Now with the idea of earning a reputation, she decided to see it often.

Besides, come here not only to see cement, but also to see the patriarch who burned cement?

The two of them had a good time outside the city for half a day and one night. The next day Cui Xie wanted to take another two days off, so Xueshi Cheng sent someone to find him at home early, forcing him to return to the Imperial Academy to take care of him.

Yesterday he went to play outside the city. He didnt know that the emperor had already announced the side report to the court, praising him and Xie Yings merits, personally praising him for his merits, saying that he is a pragmatic minister with a country in mind, and he is a minister of the East Palace. . The emperor has come to this point, what are the officials still impeaching, what is he still avoiding at home? Hurry back to write a sermon, and prepare to teach the prince the Tao of Jiarong!

Xueshi Cheng understands that he is still a lecturer at the same time, so he has to prepare two copies of the chapter just for the lecture, and he simply asks him to give the work of compiling the conference to the newly-promoted concubines, and concentrate on teaching. Cui Xie was deeply grateful to him for his consideration, and assigned the “Shang Zun”, “Geng Xun”, “Inspection”, “Jing Yan”…etc. which he was writing to the Xin Ke Shu Ji Shi Tang Yin, Sun Xu and others.

The sermon prepared for the emperor was about “Mencius”. He had already learned it well, and it was easy to talk about. The only thing he taught to the Prince was a new lesson that he had never had before. He hadn’t even figured out where to start. Start with.

Is it a lecture or history?

Among the lecturers who served the prince to read, there were two lecturers who were divided into the meaning of the scriptures and the meaning of the five classics. After that, they would give lectures on “Emperor Ming Zu Xun”, “Zhengguan Political Leaders” or “Tongjian Outlines”, which he added in the ordinary course. Anyway, conflict with colleagues…

He pondered for a while, and simply started with the “Geng Qiao” that he was cultivating at the time of his practice, and guided the prince to pay attention to the establishment of the country by taking the example of the Taizu practiced the cultivation ceremony and Xiyuan cultivation ceremony. Basically-farming.

Most of his sermons are plain, vernacular, and they are extremely easy to understand, even a nine-year-old prince can understand. Cheng Xueshi reviewed the manuscript, nodded slightly, and said with a smile: “We wait for the prince to study and wait for the emperor to study. Although the prince is very smart, but because of his young age, he needs to be more careful and patient in learning things. Listen to my heart. What did you talk about in the Imperial Front last time? Your Majesty strongly praised you, saying that the prince who listened to your class and returned, he would choose to read, and the servant in the mind to accompany him to study arithmetic, more than before Worked hard.”

The prince has grown tremendously.

When Cui Xie followed his colleagues into the hall to speak directly, he saw two young and beautiful eunuchs with him. The Grandpa Liu, who had been around the prince, had stepped back and fell into the second position.

This “Emperor Standing” was afraid that he would not be able to stand up anymore, and these little eunuchs with knowledge would not let him rise again.

Cui Xie only glanced at him, then withdrew his gaze, standing before the lecture, not looking at the sermon on the table, with a calm expression, he talked about farming ceremony and the importance of agriculture.

When he compiled the constitutional records and wrote agricultural papers, he recorded many years of food harvests and population household registration. During his lectures, he interspersed with data, allowing the prince to intuitively know how many households and people there were in Ming Dynasty, and asked questions from time to time. Let him calculate the average tax and labor intensity of the people.

The prince had the courage to let the servant around him do the calculations, Cui Xie didn’t say anything about him, as long as he got the correct answer, he nodded and said yes. The little prince became more and more courageous. Every time he directly called the waiter to calculate, he told Cui Xie personally after he got it, and then sighed like a small adult: “I can’t imagine that the people outside are so hard, and I will cherish the food in the future. Without wasting people’s power.”

Cui Xie complimented him with a smile, and left homework to ask someone to measure the size of an acre of land cultivated by the farmers after class. He walked around in a circle, and then asked someone to load two stone grains. He went to see him. Let’s see how much the farmers can harvest for one year of farming on this mu of land.

He wanted to let Zhu Houzhao know how big this country was and how heavy a burden was on him. This child can’t grow into the Ming Wuzong who roams about dragons and phoenixes in history. This country, with so many people and soldiers, cannot withstand the tossing of him and his favorite eunuchs and military officers.

The prince did not understand the deep meaning of this, but he felt that this kind of practical homework was not too difficult, so he was willing to do it, so he replied: “I must look at it with my heart, and experience the hard work of the people hidden inside.”

The prince is really a wise prince, and he must be the same benevolent as he is today!

Several lecturers listened to his speech like a little adult, and felt that God blessed Daming, and their years of hard work had also paid off. They became more excited when they ate the lecture feast, and yearned for the coming prosperity while drinking.

The prosperous age seemed to be really accompanied by the growth of their smart and precocious young prince, quickly coming.

Since the Ganzhou side newspaper in early April, after capturing more than 300 captives led by the little prince of Tatar, the side newspapers flooded into the court like flying snow

At the end of April, the captives attacked Jinzhou, and the officers and soldiers sprinkled cement ash down the city and poured water in a cauldron. The siege prisoners and the horses below were stained with cement. During the long seizure of the city, the cement gradually hardened, causing the enemy and the horses to be inconvenient to move. When they retreated, they were covered and killed by officers and soldiers, beheading 125 people.

In May, the three guards of Doyan invaded Liaodong, and the Uiju official army fought against the city. With the high and thick city wall, the Tatar siege was prevented, and the enemy was wounded by slings and cement blocks, and beheaded 149th level. , Capture 200 horses.

Sections of the Great Wall that had not been rebuilt for a long time in Jiliao were renovated and reinforced, and the small groups of captives looting merchants and people in the border cities gradually decreased. In September Jizhen, the entire section of the Great Walls castle abutment was renovated, and the wooden gate was covered with cement ash, and it was built into a solid stone fort in a few days, which resisted the intrusion of several small bandits.

…

There have not been so many and such concentrated victories in North Korea for many years. Almost every report is good news. The heads sent are also real Tatars and Oyas, and there is no longer a need to kill good. The Ming Dynasty’s strength was almost restored to the time when the Emperor Yongle was reigning. Even Ma Wensheng, the Shangshu of the Ministry of War, secretly took out the complex book that had been hidden for many years and saw it at home in the middle of the night.

Hetao.

If the loop can be regained, it will be possible to completely cut off the threat of Tatar to the capital, keep the captives out of the country, and no longer repeat the shame of the Tumu Fortress.

The border walls and fort piers have been reinforced with cheap and easy-to-obtain cement that can dry hard in a few days. Cui Xie has also presented a telescope that can increase the eyesight of the soldiers dozens of times. Now the enemy and captives can hardly invade. Under the border town. Ma Shangshu’s heart gradually grew in the hope of seeing the complex in his lifetime, and he was afraid that the current national power would not be enough to support this battle, so he dared not go easily…

But this year when the New Year is approaching, Li Cong, the chief ambassador of Fujian who returned to Beijing to participate in the inspection, presented the same sweet potatoes that the marine merchants found from Luzon Island, with a yield of more than a thousand catties per mubring them together. From Beijing, there are also a few merchants who smuggled the potato from Luzon back to China and helped the local county magistrate to plant successfully.
