Iron stove, honeycomb coal, roasted sweet potatoes, grilled meat skewers...
There are also jobs such as wire production and military uniforms that will continue to be outsourced. For ordinary people, this means an additional way to make a living or increase their income.
Although the matter was small and it was just a piece of cake for Zhu Youxiao, it also contributed to the development of industry and commerce.
There are only so many fields, and they are all cultivated. After clearing the land, it simply returns to the state, increasing fiscal revenue but not providing more housing for the people.
Although it may seem a bit far-fetched to talk about increasing employment opportunities and supporting small and medium-sized enterprises, if we do it, it will have an effect, and even if it only benefits a small number of people, it will be worth it.
Besides, roasted sweet potatoes and grilled meat skewers are really delicious!
Zhu Youxiao put down the skewer, chewed the pure mutton, and savored the long-lost memory - if only he had two more bottles of beer!
"Royal brother." The eighth princess Zhu Huiti looked at her brother, the emperor, and asked, "Are all the textbooks taught in the Shaoying Academy written by your royal brother?"
Zhu Youxiao did not like the ancient education method. Sending Zhu Youjian to the clan school and his younger sister to the Shaoying Academy was his innovation.
Learning new knowledge is one aspect of it, and interacting with more people can also help you understand more about the sufferings of the people. Self-sufficiency is no longer a luxury, but don't become a "why not eat meat porridge" person.
In Zhu Youxiao's view, aristocratic education should not be the kind of private education locked in a room, and receiving commoner education should be the right choice.
Zhu Youxiao smiled and nodded, saying, "That's right, the textbooks were all written by me, and they are all practical knowledge."
Oh, the Eighth Princess pursed her lips, blinked her big eyes and smiled, "My Royal Brother is very knowledgeable and talented. I am studying in the Shaoying Academy and feel that I have made great progress."
Zhang Yan covered her mouth with a handkerchief and chuckled twice. She clearly didn't want to learn, but she still tried to flatter her brother. This little girl is quite clever.
Zhu Youxiao chuckled, looked at Xiaowu Zhu Huiyan and Xiaoliu Zhu Huijing, and said, "I have my reasons for doing this. Although you are princesses of the royal family, it will be beneficial for you to receive a commoner's education."
After a pause, Zhu Youxiao added: "After studying in Shaoying Academy for a long time, you will find that apart from your background, you don't have much advantage over ordinary people."
As he spoke, Zhu Youxiao looked at Xiaoba Zhu Huiti and asked, "Are you the smartest in the class?"
Zhu Huiti shook her head and said, "There are several children who are very smart. I suspect they are monsters."
Monster? He's a genius, okay?
Zhu Youxiao smiled and then asked, "Are you the most diligent and studious student in the class?"
"Not really." Zhu Huiti answered, looking a little depressed and lowering her head.
Zhang Yan blinked her big eyes and looked at her husband thoughtfully.
Zhu Youxiao said, "This is nothing. I am not the smartest or the most hardworking, but it is very important to realize this."
"It's been a while since we last met. I miss you." Zhu Youxiao waved his hand, ending the conversation. He smiled and said, "I summoned you all here today just to have some fun. Fifth sister, sixth sister, eighth sister, won't you toast to your royal brother?"
Zhang Yan added with a smile, "Toast His Majesty, but there will be a reward!"
The three princesses immediately smiled and were delighted. However, they all knew the etiquette and no one came forward to fight for it.
The fifth princess, Zhu Huiyan, picked up her drink, stepped forward, bowed, and raised her glass, saying, "I, your fifth sister, congratulate you, my royal brother. I wish you good health and that the Ming Dynasty will prosper."
"Okay, okay." Zhu Youxiao raised his glass, took a sip, and said with a smile, "In a few years, it will be time to give the fifth sister a title. Well, this is a reward from me."
As he spoke, he waved his hand, and the palace servant presented a small box containing a prism.
Xiaowu stepped back, and Xiaoliu and Xiaoba came forward in turn to toast and congratulate, and they all received the same reward.
Watching the three little sisters open the box and fiddle with it, they all looked very confused.
Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but laugh. He took the prism he had given to Empress Zhang Yan, stood up, and walked to the window. He said, "Watch carefully. I'm going to perform a magic trick for you. You'll learn the principles behind it later in Shaoying Academy."
As he spoke, he adjusted the angle of the prism in his hand, and Zhu Youxiao turned sideways, allowing the sunlight to shine obliquely and pass through the prism in his hand.
Wow! Ah!
The three princesses stared with wide eyes and let out exclamations of surprise. Even Zhang Yan opened her mouth slightly in surprise and astonishment.
A strange seven-colored light was reflected on the walls of the hall, like a gorgeous rainbow, crossing the sky.
Zhu Youxiao turned the prism again, adjusting the shape and position of the colorful lights, and then returned to the desk and sat down with a smug smile.
As soon as he sat down, the Eighth Princess trotted over and, imitating her brother, raised the prism. The Fifth and Sixth Princesses were also impatient, running to the window in the sunlight, waving their treasures.
Turning left and right, moving forward and backward, the three princesses found the trick quickly or slowly.
One, two, three, as the seven-colored light flashed in the hall, a burst of cheerful laughter rang out amid the splendor.
In the East Palace, a rainbow hung on the wall, and Concubine Wang Liang was admiring it with a smile. A palace maid came to report that the large bathtub built by the Emperor's order had been delivered.
What a big bathtub - Concubine Wang Liang thought of the erotic scene of mandarin ducks playing in the water that day, and her cheeks flushed and she bit her red lips lightly.
In the West Palace, neon lights flashed across the sky. Concubine Duan Chun held her cheek with her hands and looked at it infatuatedly.
She seemed to see the first clear day after the misty rain in her hometown, but she didn't notice that the palace maid's arms were sore and she was grimacing and struggling to hold on.
In Changchun Palace, colorful lights were dancing and clear laughter was ringing.
Concubine Zhang Yu looked at her younger sister playing wildly, and couldn't help but stroke her belly with a happy smile on her face.
