Daming: I asked you to hang yourself, but I didn’t ask you to rebuild the Ming Dynasty

"Hahahaha!"

“God will not fail me, Sun Yunqiu!

Hahahaha!

God lives up to me, Sun Yunqiu! "

"Sun Yunqiu?"

Mao Pijiang was stunned. Isn't this that awesome guy with glasses from Suzhou?

This person is proficient in making all kinds of glasses, and even changed the expensive and dizzy glasses into glasses for everyone, so that the wearer will no longer suffer from dizziness and vomiting symptoms.

In the hands of this person, glasses that could not fit everyone have become a treasure that can improve eye diseases for everyone.

Mao Bijiang put his hands on the window coffin.

It is said that this person has a unique skill. He makes a microscope that can see the hair on the legs of fleas.

There are also eyepieces, half-mirrors, kaleidoscopes, telescopes, etc. The structure is also extremely clever.

There are many gentry in the south of the Yangtze River seeking to buy it, and if you are not lucky, it will be hard to find one.

This man is a top craftsman!

Sun Yunqiu is here too?

It's a great surprise to open up the frontier.

Just when Sun Yunqiu laughed loudly, a tall and thin middle-aged man slapped Sun Yunqiu on the shoulder.

That person is extremely thin, as if a gust of wind can blow him over.

However, this person's voice was very loud, and his words could be heard clearly from a distance.

"Boss Sun, what are you doing? Come with Chen. You won't be disappointed!"

Sun Yunqiu hurriedly saluted the man:

"Thanks to Master Chen for going to the students' homes to remind them. Otherwise, the students would have missed it!"

The thin man surnamed Chen, whom Sun Yunqiu called his teacher, had a look of disgust on his face:

"You kid, I told you a long time ago that although I taught you the tricks of grinding lenses, your idea also made me enlightened.

What do we two talk about as master and disciple?

You and I are each other’s teachers!

You and I can both get inspiration from each other, so why not be brothers! "

After hearing what the man named Chen said, Mao Pijiang raised his eyebrows:

Taught Sun Yunqiu how to grind lenses?

Isn't this Chen Tianqu, a strange man from Qiantang?

He looked carefully, and sure enough, under the sunlight, the man named Chen could even see bright reflections on his clothes...

This is dirty!

"It sure is him!"

Mao Bijiang's eyes widened.

This man is also a mirror addict.

Unlike Sun Yunqiu, who still sells the utensils he made in order to survive.

Chen Tianqu came from a wealthy family, and he was very happy-go-lucky. He always liked to travel, and because of his sloppy behavior, he didn't have many friends.

It can be said that although Chen Tianqu is famous, not many people have seen him!

Mao Bijiang was shocked when he saw another person walking out of the corner, and he saw that person singing loudly:

“They say the goods from Guangzhou are the same as those from Suzhou!

No matter what industry we are in, Suzhou leads the trend.

Today, the three of my brothers meet Enke, and we will definitely take him to the top three! "

This man's words obviously touched Chen Tianqu's heart, and he laughed and echoed:

"Brothers are right!

It's a pity that Mr. Yu from Tongxi and Mr. Gao from Xiling are not at home, and you and I never found them.

If not, we Suzhou Five Monsters will definitely put him in the top five! "

In the restaurant, Mao Bijiang was stunned.

He naturally knew these five people. After all, his home in Rugao was not far from Suzhou, just across the Yangtze River.

These five strange people are all famous craftsmen of Suzhou.

Normally they are together, but even finding one is very difficult.

But I didn't expect that three people would come today!

Oh my god!

Mao Bijiang was shocked.

You must know that Suzhou, the core territory of the Fu Dynasty in Jiangnan, has so many talented people coming!

Naturally, the miscellaneous talents from other places will not be absent.

The emperor has captured all the capable people and strangers in one fell swoop!

Come on, I was thinking just now that the emperor had opened so many workshops and even built the so-called Academy of Sciences. Would he be able to find top craftsmen...

This time I turned around and was slapped in the face!

After the surprise, I felt happy.

After Mao Pijiang touched the bronze medal around his waist in fear.

Fortunately, following Zheng Sen here caught His Majesty's attention.

For Zheng Sen's sake, His Majesty summoned him specially.

Because of this, he got into officialdom early.

Otherwise, among so many monsters, it would be strange that he could pass the exam!

Thinking that he had almost defeated Qishan Mountain [-] times and was better than Zhuge Liang, the famous prime minister throughout the ages, he broke out in a cold sweat.

If you take the exam seven times, you will all fail...

His reputation as the Fourth Young Master - how can he convince the public?

How could he have the dignity to bravely accept the Fourth Young Master's high praise?

……

The next day.

Just when Lucky Man braved Pijiang to say goodbye to Zheng Sen in a hurry and rushed to Xichuan to form a naturalized army for the emperor.

The first imperial examination after Zhu Youjian established the Xinming Dynasty officially began.

The students who could not be seen were pulled by soldiers in carriages and headed towards the Royal Academy of Ming Dynasty.

Enke's examination room was set in the unfinished Academy of Sciences.

Zhu Youjian also dressed up for the trip, put on the majestic emperor's crown, and rode the emperor's royal boat towards the Royal Academy of Sciences.

Royal push out.

Zhu Youjian looked through the information sent overnight.

Wang Chengen reported in a low voice:

"Your Majesty, yesterday afternoon, a total of 7000 copies of the hardcover version were sold, and more than [-] copies of the paperback version were sold.

According to statistics from the minister, there are a total of 970 scholars who went to Beijing to take the exam this time.

In other words, in principle, candidates already have a copy of Enke's question directions. "

Zhu Youjian nodded.

According to this data, this time Enke has earned almost 10 taels of silver just by selling the records.

Wang Chengen continued:

"The exchange office I set up at the city gate has exchanged a total of more than 190 silver coins.

More than 960 million taels of silver were recovered.

The bookstore, on the other hand, recovered more than [-] silver dollars and received more than [-] taels of silver by selling bibliographies.

In addition, a total of 72 silver coins were recovered from shops operated by the inner court in various parts of the capital.

According to the news from the Imperial City Army and Horses Department, it is estimated that more than 90 silver dollars will be recovered from various restaurants, flower houses, etc. "

Zhu Youjian silently calculated, which means that these scholars exchanged the silver coins that have not been spent, which is around 30.

And he conducted a scientific examination and made a net profit of nearly ten million in silver!

Sure enough, the education industry is one of the most profitable industries!

As long as the control is under control, the imperial examination once a year will be enough to cover the court's expenses...

He thought for a while and said to Wang Chengen:

"I will make all your men's eyes widen. If those shops in the capital dare to exchange silver coins privately, please stop opening them!"

Zhu Youjian squinted his eyes.

Using silver dollars to pry silver was a big move he made.

At this juncture, if anyone doesn't open his eyes, then his tricks will be unnecessary!

"The minister obeys the order!"

Wang Chengen responded quickly.

Zhu Youjian closed the memorial and said to Wang Chengen:

"You are my old man from Qiandi. You have won my heart all the way."

Wang Chengen hurriedly crawled on the floor:

"Don't worry, I know the importance of this."

As a retainer of the emperor, Wang Chengen knew that the source of all his power was the emperor's trust.

Zhu Youjian continued:

"I asked Old Fang to do some shady things for me outside. You have to keep an eye on the inside for me!"
