  Chapter 980 976 [The Emperor's New Clothes]

   (Two lakes were missed in the last chapter, and the two lakes belong to the test area of ​​the list.)

   This year's Jinshi hairpin parade through the streets is an empty alley.

  Even the number one scholar, Chen Chun, was upstaged by a female Jinshi. People in Nanjing stood in the streets and alleys, and they kept saying, "Where are the female Jinshi? Where are the female Jinshi?"

  Zou Huaiyu held his head high and walked slowly while pulling the reins, bathed in admiration.

  Of course, there are also a few Daoists who secretly lament that the world is going down and the hen is the morning.

  Where there is gain, there is loss. Zou Huaiyu, who seems to be beautiful, is actually full of troubles. As soon as she graduated from middle school, she was urged to get married by her husband's family. Every year during the winter and summer vacations of college, her husband's family kept urging her.

  Zou Huaiyu was very unhappy about this, and her husband's family was also extremely dissatisfied with her. But both parties did not dissolve the engagement, because it was a marriage between two prominent families, and neither of them wanted to bear the infamy of regretting the marriage.

  The fiancé has already taken a concubine from a poor family that failed in business. She also raised two orchids, both of whom are coquettish and charming, who seduced her fiancé all day long.

   Now that Zou Huaiyu is a female Jinshi, she dare not regret her marriage. The whole world is staring at her. If she dares to regret her marriage, she will be the female version of Chen Shimei, and she will give some people an excuse-look, I said that the world cannot be turned upside down, it’s like this for a woman to be admitted to Jinshi, and she can’t even manage her family. ?

  The first female jinshi in the new dynasty of Datong must be perfect. Even if her husband has five poisons, she must never divorce in the future.

  If you want to wear its crown, you must bear its weight!

  The other Jinshi around did not know Zou Huaiyu's suffering. While receiving applause from the people, they quietly looked at Zou Huaiyu. This ordinary-looking female Jinshi is extremely charming in the eyes of Jinshi of the same discipline, and everyone wants to make friends with her, quite like a celebrity.

  By the street, there were quite a few girls from the school, and they formed a group to watch.

  When these female students saw Zou Huaiyu, their eyes lit up, they chased her all the way, and kept throwing flowers. Zou Huaiyu was their idol, the brightest star in the dark night, and some female students even laughed and cried on the spot.

  They don't know why they cry, but they just want to cry anyway, with joy, excitement, longing, envy, admiration...all kinds of emotions mixed together.

   "Bang bang bang bang!"

   There were firecrackers going off in the inns one after another, all of their guests had passed the Jinshi examination.

  Chu Wang Zhao Kuangping is a bit lonely, he has moved into Chu Wangfu. It was originally the mansion of the King of Jin, but the King of Jin went to India, so he handed it over to the King of Chu.

  I also passed the Jinshi exam, but unfortunately I couldn’t parade around the streets with hairpin flowers.

   To be an official means to give up the title, which is not a policy for the prince. It is for the future generals of Fengguo and Fuguo. This kind of clan title does not have much salary, and it is really possible to give up after being admitted to Jinshi.

  Zhao Kuangping didn't know what he should do, and he never thought about the position of prince. Because the prince already has heirs, even if the prince dies of illness suddenly, the throne will be inherited by the emperor's grandson.

  Overseas closure?

   Zhao Kuangping is reluctant to part with China's prosperity.

   To be a naval officer?

   Zhao Kuangping is not interested in fighting, neither the navy nor the army, he is not that material.

   After much deliberation, let's go to the Hanlin Academy.

   To be an official in the Imperial Academy, you don't have to give up your title. As long as he has a university diploma or academic achievements, he will definitely be able to enter the Hanlin Academy with the connections of the King of Chu.

  Why didn’t you enter Qintianyuan? Because Zhao Kuangchen doesn't like science. If you don't like it, you don't like it, even if he has good grades in astronomy, physics, and mathematics.

  Young man, troubles go away quickly.

   Zhao Kuangping left the study and went to have fun with his princess. The two concubines were all chosen by him, and they were both talented women without exception.

  The princes of the Ming Dynasty had one concubine, one concubine, and several concubines and wives. But only the main concubine belongs to the concubine, and the second concubine is actually a concubine. In addition to being nice to say, the second concubine may also become a second concubine.

   Here in Datong Xinchao, Ji and his wife were cancelled, and the prince only had one main concubine and one side concubine. Children born to other women, unless they can inherit the throne, are not even counted as Zong's children, and they don't even think about getting a dime salary when they grow up.

  This is to prevent Zong's personnel from exploding. A prince can have hundreds of children. Who the **** can stand it?

  When you come to Zhao Han, the prince’s salary is just that. If you have the ability, such as doing business, it doesn’t matter how many women you earn. But in the face of the clan's mansion, except for the concubine and the concubine, the other children are ordinary people!

  The son born to Princess Chu is more than one year old, and the second concubine is also pregnant.

   Zhao Kuangping recited poems and libretto with the two concubines, but he was also very happy. He has no other women for the time being, but occasionally he feels itchy and wants to buy an orchid for his home.

  During college, Zhao Kuangping was invited to a classmate's house, and at that time fell in love with an orchid. The classmate's father was very discerning and insisted on sending Hu Ji away, but Zhao Kuangping was still living in the palace at that time, so he dared not accept it even if he was beaten to death. The classmate's father also said that he could help him raise Hu Ji, but Zhao Kuangping refused.

   Zhao Kuangping still understands the reason why people are soft-mouthed and short-handed.

   Now that there is the Prince Chu's Mansion, buying an orchid is nothing. But the emperor was too stingy, and the salary that the prince could receive was only slightly higher than that of a first-rank official.

  With this little money, if you want to buy high-quality orchids, you have to save money slowly.

  As for ordinary orchids, Zhao Kuangping really doesn't like them. Not to mention spending money to buy it himself, he doesn't want it for nothing, he has to be the kind of person with both talent and beauty.

  The second concubine's natal family is in business, so it must be easy to ask for money, and the father-in-law even took the initiative to send money. But Zhao Kuangping was very strict in discipline since he was a child, and he always felt that this should not be the case. He accepted small gifts from his father-in-law, and rejected all valuable ones.

  Zhao Kuangping continued to ponder, and decided that he would not go to the Imperial Academy.

  He wants to study knowledge, he can get information at any time, and he can go to the Imperial Academy for exchanges at any time. Why do you have to trap yourself in one unit?

  You can partner with your father-in-law to do business, but this will make your father unhappy. And the father-in-law didn't worry too much, he had already figured it out after he got married, maybe what he was doing under the name of the King of Chu.

  When I was crowned king of Chu, I got a settling fee, a full thousand taels of silver.

   This thing can be used as the principal. The Fugui car industry in Nanjing is on the rise, and the number is not too large. It is completely possible to set up a car dealership. My uncle is doing business in Jiangnan, so I asked my uncle to help me order a batch of cars, and the business license was easily obtained. Wouldn't it be my first business?

  Thinking quickly opened up, Zhao Kuangping found that it was too easy for him to do business, and it was a loophole to allow the clan to do business!

  After a hundred years, as long as there is no trouble, which official would dare to control the prince's business? Relying on status and connections, one can easily make a fortune.

  The imperial court has indeed stipulated that government projects shall not be contracted or subcontracted to the clan. But this thing can take advantage of loopholes, register a few more leather bag companies, or secretly support white gloves. Isn't it easy to receive government orders?

  The more Zhao Kuangping thought about it, the more excited he became. Aside from being excited, he was a little scared, thinking about whether to tell his father.

  The next day, Zhao Kuangping ran into the palace and expressed his thoughts.

Zhao Han was very satisfied with this, and then smiled and said: "You can understand it, and I and all the ministers would not have thought of it? There is no perfect system, we can only restrain it as much as possible. The clan's illegal business is always less harmful than the common people. Taking advantage of loopholes Undertaking the business of the imperial court, if there is no problem, maybe no one cares, if there is a problem, the title will be deprived immediately! Also, in the business related to the army and the bank, whoever touches it will die, and the prince will be beheaded!"

  Zhao Kuangping's neck shrank when he heard it: "I dare not."

  Zhao Han said with a smile: "Don't think that business is easy to do. If you are not smart, you are making money for others, and the people below don't know how to make money for you. Can you understand four-legged accounts?"

  Zhao Kuangping nodded and said: "Four-legged account is the double-entry bookkeeping method. I learned it in college. It's just that I'm not very proficient. I only learned the general idea."

   "Don't start your car dealership. If you compete with small businessmen, you will lose the prestige of the King of Chu." Zhao Han said.

  Zhao Kuangping thought for a while: "How about running a magazine there? The elegant things of literati will not discredit the royal family."

  Zhao Han asked: "What kind of magazine do you run? Nowadays, newspapers and magazines are everywhere, and many of them are still making money. How can you guarantee that you can make money?"

  Zhao Kuangping said with a smile: "The name is "Chu Wang Miscellaneous Magazine", and someone must have bought it."

  Zhao Han shook his head: "Relying on the name of the King of Chu, some people may buy the first two issues, but your magazine is not good-looking, and after a few issues, no one will pay attention. Which newspapers and magazines sell the best?"

Zhao Kuangping said: "Commercial publications. Nowadays more and more people are literate, and ordinary people also like to read newspapers. That kind of market publications, with wonderful stories written, everyone likes to read them, from the rich and powerful to the street people. .Many scholars who failed in their studies earn their pen fees by making up stories, and all of them are very rich."

   "Not bad." Zhao Han said with a smile.

Zhao Kuangping continued: "In the first issue, we first invite famous novelists to submit manuscripts. For the sake of the King of Chu, they will definitely be willing to contribute. After the first issue is well-known and widely solicited contributions, there will always be some wonderful novels. Slowly accumulate a fixed number of authors, and only publish high-quality articles in each issue, and it doesn’t matter if it is made into a monthly magazine.”

   As he spoke, Zhao Kuangping laughed and said, "Father's "Legend of the Condor Heroes" is wonderfully written, why don't you write an article for the first issue."

  The first few children are very close to Zhao Han, so it doesn't matter if they joke around.

   Later, there will be more princes and daughters, and Zhao Han is also busy with official duties, but they are a little strange to each other, and the sons and daughters are more in awe when they see him.

  Zhao Han thought for a while: "Two stories, I will write the short one, and find someone to write the long one yourself."

   "Father's story must be interesting." Zhao Kuangping flattered him.

Zhao Han also found it interesting, and immediately wrote "The Emperor's New Clothes": "In the land of Thailand and the West, there is a country. The emperor ignores the government and only cares about having fun. The people are miserable. This gentleman likes to wear new clothes and changes them every day." Several times, every time the courtiers came to see him, the **** would say: 'Your Majesty is changing clothes.' Over time, the subjects secretly called him the 'Emperor of Changing Clothes'. One day, two bachelors came to Wuyouguo..."

  Bachelors not only refer to single men and women, but also generally refer to local ruffians.

   "The Emperor's New Clothes" is not long, and Zhao Hanwen finished it in less than twenty minutes without adding points.

  After reading it, Zhao Kuangping admired it from the bottom of his heart: "Father Huang's article is thought-provoking, and it is really a first-class story."

  Of course it is thought-provoking and can be extended to various interpretations.

   Zhao Kuangping's first reaction was that his father was mocking Daming and Chongzhen.

  Zhao Han said with a smile: "I'll tell you another story about the daughter-in-law, maybe it can be made into an opera..."
