Chapter 1202: Live and Learn

The emperor's eyes brightened as he listened. Firstly, it would not cost the court a penny and the reception could be held in a decent manner. Secondly, he saw the benefits.

The Minister of Rites was stunned. He had already sat in the position of Minister, so how could there be any fools among them? Following Zhou Shuren's thoughts, his heart was pounding. Now he saw Zhou Shuren as a golden child. Zhou Shuren was destined to be a member of the Ministry of Revenue!

Zhou Shuren swallowed back what he wanted to say about the trademark. At this time, it was the family emblem, and the emblem represented the trademark. He stroked his beard and thought that since they were attracting investment and sponsorship, they were both ways to make money.

Zhou Shuren coughed and continued, "Your Majesty, we can invite merchants to buy food and daily necessities. Your Majesty, the one who offers the highest price wins. Of course, the quality must be good. We cannot be careless when representing the country. In the end, the money raised from the merchants must be returned to the Ministry of Revenue."

Minister of Rites, "."

I feel so sad. I should have joined the Ministry of Rites. It's such a rare opportunity!

The emperor also saw the benefits behind it, so he naturally couldn't let the Ministry of Rites take all the money. "Well, I agree. As for the matter of attracting investment, the Ministry of Rites should draw up a charter for me to see."

Zhou Shuren was delighted as he had more money coming into his account. As for the regulations being drafted by the Ministry of Rites themselves, Zhou Shuren understood that this was the emperor's compensation to the Ministry of Rites. There was a lot of cat bait in it, so it could be considered as a share of the sweetness with the Ministry of Rites.

The Minister of Rites smiled happily and said, "Then I will take my leave."

The emperor hummed and left Zhou Shuren alone, "Take a look at this fold."

Zhou Shuren took it with a puzzled look, and after reading it, he said, "A foreigner wants to serve as an official in the court?"

Thinking back carefully, he had learned quite a lot of history.

The emperor asked, "What do you think?"

Zhou Shuren clapped his hands, "This is a good thing. I have always said that we should learn from each other's strengths and make up for our weaknesses. However, the language barrier is a big problem. I think we can recruit foreigners from various countries to serve as officials. Your Majesty, what do you think of the translators?"

I only translate every day, and I avoid confidential information. After translating foreign books, there are more domestic books to translate, and I have to translate them in various languages ​​several times. This job will never be finished!

The emperor smiled and said, "I think this is a good idea. Translators are officials from the Ministry of Rites, specializing in translating books from various countries. Well, the chief one is of the sixth rank, and the others are of the seventh rank."

Those who are not of our race must have different hearts. The emperor has not thought of stopping the foreigners from coming, but he can make the best use of control.

Zhou Shuren was also very satisfied. This way he could save his wife from having to learn different languages. If his wife had a bad temper, his life would be difficult.

Zhou Shuren thought about it and decided to take a clear approach. "Your Majesty, I have a favor to ask of you."

The emperor smiled amiably, "You tell me, I will definitely help you as long as I can do it."

Zhou Shuren laughed in his heart and added a premise, "My second son is very interested in foreign math books and has some talent. My wife also found it interesting yesterday. I would like to ask the emperor to give me some foreign books."

The emperor pointed at Zhou Shuren's face and said, "Isn't that how you got the wound on your face? I don't know what to say. Since you love your wife, I will give you some foreign books."

Zhou Shuren, "???"

He felt that the emperor had thought of a lot of things!

The emperor was indeed mistaken. He thought that Yang wanted to learn, but Zhou Shuren was unwilling, so he was bitten!

Anyway, Zhulan received the books that were sent to her. There were quite a lot of books. She found the English books, which accounted for the largest proportion. As for the others, sorry, she really didn't understand and didn't know them!

Xue Han flipped through the books one by one, "Mom, are these the books Dad found for my second brother?"

Today I heard from my second sister-in-law that my second brother brought back a lot of foreign books yesterday, which he treasured very much.

Zhu Lan's face was wooden. "No, your father found it for me."

She couldn't know it for no reason, so she could only blame Zhou Shuren, saying that Zhou Shuren taught her, and then she was very talented and self-taught, and Zhou Shuren was busy, so Changyi could ask her if he didn't know it!

Zhulan is helpless. Who can prevent her from meeting him for no reason? Zhou Shuren's image as an all-round father becomes more and more perfect!

Xue Han was dumbfounded, "Mom, did Dad find it for you?"

Zhulan smiled and lied, "Well, I think it's quite interesting. Let your father find some and I'll take a look. It's said that one should keep learning as long as he lives. I also want to learn more."

Xue Han, "."

The current situation was somewhat beyond her understanding. Her mother was actually interested in these symbols?

Li's handkerchief fell off. She was a little sleepy just reading these foreign words. Her mother-in-law actually wanted to learn them. "Mom, you are really amazing."

She had never seen an old lady who worked so hard.

Zhulan smiled, "Yeah, I think I'm pretty good too."

Many people don't want to recall high school, and she doesn't want to recall it either.

On the way to Fuzhou, King Qi not only knew that Rongchuan was safe, but also found the island where the Zhang family lived. King Qi felt extremely complicated, and Rongchuan's luck was too good.

However, Prince Qi held the fan tightly. He still had to make up for the fear and worry he had suffered these days. As long as it did not cause any harm, his father and the prince would not care.

The guards outside the carriage rode over and said, "Your Highness, the people in the carriage behind are about to collapse."

King Qi, "Did he confess?"

"No, I'm still biting my crown tightly and not opening my mouth."

King Qi sneered, "I want to see how tough his bones are. If he still doesn't tell me today, I will use the ointment that harms people. They know the harm of this thing. Go ahead."

These ointments can turn people into neither human nor ghost. The King of Qi clenched his fists and decided to vigorously publicize the dangers after the reckoning.

In the evening, after dinner at the Zhou family, Zhulan would read a book, do some calculations with a pen, and sort out useful information based on her memories. As a science student, she really had no idea what law appeared in what period, and she only thought that formulas were useful.

As for Zhou Shuren, although he did study history, he was not clear about these things.

This resulted in Zhulan looking at it eagerly, "Has this formula appeared now?"

Zhou Shuren, "Well, we need to ask the envoy."

Zhulan, ".This is the only way."

After dinner, Yu-Hyun took a walk and came in to see his nephew and his wife staring at a book, their brows furrowed, as if they were studying something extraordinary. He asked, "What's going on?"

Zhou Shuren and Zhulan raised their heads. Zhulan sorted out the books and calculation papers quietly. There were too many things on them that could not be seen by others.

Zhou Shuren asked, "Why is Fourth Uncle here?"

Yu Yun lowered his eyes. The couple was mysterious and unwilling to talk, so he did not ask. "Let me ask you, you have submitted your letter to Feng Changli for a long time, but there is still no result?"

Because of Ming Teng, he was particularly concerned about the first wife. He couldn't enter the palace these days and was a little anxious.

Zhou Shuren said, "The Ningguo Duke's Mansion and some of the Marquis' Mansions have not approved the requests for seals."

Apart from the unexpected case of Mingteng, some of the applications had not been approved for half a year. The emperor was ready to approve them all at once.

Seeing his nephew's wife leaving with the book in her arms, Yu Yin lowered his voice and asked, "How long does the emperor intend to keep Yao Wenqi trapped in the mansion?"
