Chapter 488 You think you can just get rid of us with one memorial?
Looking at Yang Shaofeng, who was reclining in a deck chair and sipping tea, Jin'er couldn't help but smile and said, "Husband, have you successfully annoyed your godfather again today?"
Yang Shaofeng's eyes widened, and he immediately denied it three times in a row: "I didn't, I didn't, my wife, don't wrong me!"
Sitting next to Jin'er, Yu'er snorted softly: "Whether my husband has one or not is not important. What's important is that my sister has successfully upset my godfather today."
Upon hearing what Yu'er said, Yang Shaofeng immediately sat up, looked at Yu'er, and asked, "Tell your husband what happened."
Yu'er snorted again and said, "Today, my sister took a pound of Xiaolongtuan tea to see my godmother and said: 'I heard from my godfather that there is no tea at home. I have some here, so I'm bringing it over for my godfather to drink.'"
As soon as Yu'er finished speaking, Yang Shaofeng's eyes widened.
My godfather said that we're out of tea at home?
Should we bring it over for our godfather to drink first?
Goodness, he dug two holes for Old Deng in just one sentence.
Wouldn't this bury Old Deng completely?
Yang Shaofeng asked impatiently, "And then?"
Yu'er glanced at Jin'er and saw that her older sister was still smiling and not saying anything, so she explained in detail: "Then, my godmother accepted the little dragon and scolded my sister a few times, saying that my sister was a heartless little thing. Not only did she forget her parents after she got a husband, but now she is also deliberately helping her husband to make things difficult for my godfather. All the love she had for her before was for nothing."
At this point, Yu'er lowered her head again and said with a sheepish smile, "And me too, I was also scolded by my adoptive mother, and we even used the same words."
Yang Shaofeng was completely stunned.
Two extremely filial daughters, they truly made their old man die of filial piety.
Fortunately, since my mother-in-law has already scolded Jin'er and Yu'er, she won't scold me anymore, right?
After all, I am very filial to my mother-in-law.
Thinking of this, Yang Shaofeng perked up again and said to Jin'er and Yu'er, "Since Father-in-law is unhappy, then I am very happy."
"Come on, take out the cards. Your husband will play Dou Dizhu with you today."
……
As it turns out, Zhu Chongba was able to rise from a beggar with only a bowl at the beginning to become the emperor who ushered in the Hongwu era. Besides relying on his status as a son-in-law of the Ma family, his own abilities were indeed outstanding.
At the very least, their stress tolerance is much stronger than that of the average person.
The facts also prove that Chinese is an extremely elegant language with advanced compression capabilities.
This can be seen from the fact that Emperor Zhu received Yang Shaofeng's memorial.
A variety of elegant and sophisticated language flowed from Emperor Zhu's mouth.
"This bastard!"
"How could there be such a scoundrel as him as a son-in-law in this world!"
"You think you can just send us away with a memorial?"
"He's probably just dreaming!"
"How could that gentleman accept such a scoundrel as a student!"
"..."
Watching Emperor Zhu pacing around the room like a donkey, constantly cursing his son-in-law, Empress Ma was at a loss for whether to be angry or amused.
Tell me, all because of two pounds of small dragon balls, things have turned out like this.
Is it worth it?
Just as Empress Ma was secretly complaining to herself, Emperor Zhu also stopped his circling millstone.
Emperor Zhu plopped back down next to Empress Ma and began flipping through the memorials again.
"Tsk."
Emperor Zhu smacked his lips and said to Empress Ma as he looked at the writing, "Sister, look at what this scoundrel wrote."
“Select a local military post to conduct a trial.”
"Abolish the military household system directly, and let the existing soldiers stay or leave as they please? Give them travel expenses if they leave?"
"Based on the principle of the people and the army being as close as fish and water, should military discipline be revised?"
"What are the preferential treatment policies for active duty soldiers and those for wounded or killed soldiers?"
"What are the different majors offered at military academies?"
"The establishment of military courts?"
"The establishment of military police?"
"..."
"If you're asking if it makes sense, then it certainly does."
"But look, this is a memorial he wrote for us?"
"No, this is work he arranged for us, and while he was at it, he also arranged work for the Secretariat, the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of War, the Grand Military Commission, and even the garrisons in various places."
“A single sentence from it could keep a large group of officials busy for half a year.”
"This bastard!"
After cursing and pointing to the sky and earth a few more times, Emperor Zhu couldn't help but sigh again.
"Without reading what he wrote, our admiration for that gentleman is like a frog in a well looking at the moon in the sky."
"After reading what he wrote, our admiration for that gentleman is like a mayfly seeing the blue sky."
"Sir, you are truly a man of great talent."
Seeing Emperor Zhu start sighing again, Empress Ma laughed and said, "Alright, you can just be happy about it."
"With such a son-in-law, and Dengzhou University, you'll have a constant stream of scholars serving you like slaves. What more could you ask for?"
"People shouldn't be too greedy."
At this point, Empress Ma suddenly remembered that her two sons had also come to Dengzhou.
So, what about the two sons?
"The fourth brother went to the Dengzhou Prefectural School to study."
"The fifth brother went to Dengzhou Medical College, saying he wanted to learn medicine from Yang Qing."
"No one can worry!"
Emperor Zhu said with a dark face, "Especially that scoundrel, he set up libraries in Dengzhou Prefectural School and Penglai County School, but he didn't write a single memorial to us."
“We’ve heard that each of the ten counties in Dengzhou Prefecture has a library like this in its county school.”
"Each library not only stores a large number of books for students to borrow."
"Moreover, the official gazettes issued by Biao'er will also be stored in the library."
"The benefits are numerous and countless."
"But Zhu Chongba's shady dealings of stealing cattle, chickens, and the Pearl, Jade, and White Jade Soup have made him famous in Dengzhou."
The more Emperor Zhu spoke, the uglier his face became.
"That bastard."
“We’ve been to that library. The library in Penglai County alone must have thousands or even tens of thousands of books.”
"The collections of ten county libraries plus one prefectural library would amount to at least tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of strings of cash."
"Even so, he still complains about being poor in front of us every day, saying how difficult it is for the people of Dengzhou Prefecture to make a living."
Empress Ma, equally astonished, asked, "How many books are there? Thousands or tens of thousands?"
A library contains thousands or tens of thousands of books?
Even if these books aren't valuable rare or unique editions, the sheer number of thousands or tens of thousands of copies is astonishing!
in case.
If schools in other prefectures and counties of the Ming Dynasty were to set up such libraries, how many paper mills would be needed to supply the paper required?
How many people are needed for papermaking and printing?
This is yet another completely new path.
Seeing Empress Ma's shocked expression, Emperor Zhu rubbed his head and said, "Sister, now you know why we have a headache, right? These workshops and such that this scoundrel has created all require a lot of manpower."
"The workshop needs manpower, and so does farming."
"What do you think we should do?"
