Xu Guangqi was here at this time and said to the three father-in-law: "Your Majesty is not unwilling to let the three father-in-law stay idle. He just wants the three father-in-law to do something in the capital, which is not that boring. Our Academy of Sciences has new crops to cultivate. I wonder if the three father-in-law are willing to do this, that is, farming, cultivating some new crops from Southeast Asia, and seeing the effects, such as sweet potatoes."

"What is sweet potato? But I'm doing it, I'm doing it. I'm just going to go home to dig the ground. Now I can do it with food and accommodation here, so I'll just do it here, and I have a salary, right?"

Duan Huangyi asked.

Xu Guangqi smiled and nodded.

"That's even more! Leave this to me."

Duan Huangyi patted his chest.

Then, Wang Xue became a little anxious: "Where is me, I do carpenter work in the village."

"It just so happens that the wooden bed with the barrel of the gun still needs someone. I will take you there later to see if you can create a new wooden bed. It doesn't matter if you can't. The salary will be paid as usual, and if it is useful, your Majesty will reward you. In addition, it will also make you richer!"

Xu Guangqi started talking.

After hearing this, Wang Xue couldn't help laughing: "It's so good, I just like to fiddle with these things."

"Da Sima, the student was a supervisor before and had been studying behind closed doors. So, I am ashamed that students can't farm or have the skills of all kinds of crafts. What do you think students can do?"

Zhang Guoji asked about Xu Guangqi at this time.

"Since this is the case, why not help my father-in-law and help me study Qi? To explore the principles of all things?"

Xu Guangqi asked.

"Qiology, the principle of all things?"

Zhang Guoji asked curiously.

"Yes, it is to carry forward Qi science. If you find out the difference between this stone and charcoal, why one cannot burn and the other cannot burn."

Xu Guangqi started talking.

"But this shouldn't be considered a serious business, can you receive a salary?"

Zhang Guoji started asking.

"Of course it is also a serious matter. Your Majesty said personally that exploring the principles of all things is the first thing to do in academic research. If you can explore it clearly, it can benefit the country and the people. For example, this gunpowder is made by someone who knows the principles of charcoal and saltpeter. Now it is used to defend against enemies and to use it to the people to open up mountains. So, how can this not be considered a serious matter?"

Xu Guangqi asked as he said that.

Zhang Guoji understood: "What the Grand Sima said is that the student would follow Grand Sima to do this."

At this point, Zhang Guoji, Wang Xue, Duan Huangyi, the three father-in-laws lived in the Academy of Sciences and began to do some things in the Academy of Sciences. Although they were just farming and building lathes and studying research, they did not learn to raise women like other relatives when they came to the capital, and they were also very happy.

...

"The three new father-in-law have recently gone to the Ministry of Revenue to collect the silver? Do they have complaints in private, what are they doing recently?"

On the night after the wedding, Zhu Youxiao also asked Wei Zhongxian about the father-in-law of the Three Kingdoms.

Wei Zhongxian replied: "Your Majesty, only Zhang Guomao took ten taels of silver, and the other two men still haven't received a penny of silver."

After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao laughed: "Is that so? How do they live? They always have to buy some food, rice, oil, salt, etc."

"When they went back to the Emperor, they had never come back since they went to the Academy of Sciences. They even brought their families to the Academy of Sciences. They had no complaints. They only ate in the public kitchen of the Academy of Sciences every day and lived there. Now Zhang Guozhang tinkered with some stones, charcoal and other things every day, saying that they wanted to explore the truth, Wang Guozhang tinkered with carpenters, and Duan Guozhang was growing sweet potatoes."

Wei Zhongxian answered.

Zhu Youxiao nodded and thought to himself: "After all, the civilians who are not as arrogant as the emperor, would rather save their money than spend it directly. In this way, it seems that he, the emperor, actually, has not rewarded anything!"

"I understand! You go back."

Zhu Youxiao said, after Wei Zhongxian retreated, he suddenly ordered Wang Chengen, the eunuch of the Ganqing Palace, to say, "Come on the wooden sign box!"

According to the way the concubines of the Ming Dynasty served to sleep, the emperor did not need to flip the cards, and the emperor only needed to go to a certain palace to sleep with the concubine.

This method is called "paving palace".

Wherever the emperor went, the red lanterns would be extinguished wherever the emperor would go, and then the eunuchs would order the concubines in other palaces to turn off the lights.

Of course, there are exceptions. For example, Emperor Hongzhi has always lived with the queen in the west warmhouse of the Ganqing Palace, just like ordinary couples.

But Zhu Youxiao felt that he was the emperor, and whether he was marrying a wife or having children in daily life was closely related to the fate of the entire empire.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao knew that he could not stay with only one woman forever, as it would only affect the choice of the heirs.

Even if you really like a certain concubine, you cannot favor it.

National interests determine that the emperor must broadcast seeds.

Zhu Youxiao couldn't say anything about this. He only knew that he had to distinguish personal emotions from political interests.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao did not dismiss other concubines like Emperor Hongzhi, nor did he let the queen Zhang Yan live with him.

Even Zhu Youxiao no longer wants to go to various palaces to pave palaces.

Because Zhu You proofreads the concubines and maids in each palace.

After all, what happened to Emperor Jiajing is.

Although Zhu Youxiao has now established an internal factory in the inner court and has cleaned it once, there are some things that cannot be prepared for.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao also developed a wooden sign system. He asked him to turn over any concubine to sleep in the future, so that the eunuchs could tell who would come, and first go to the designated place to take a bath, and then go to the emperor's bedroom to serve.

In this way, Zhu Youxiao would not have to go to a palace where the environment is unfamiliar or even the people around him would sleep.

However, Zhu Youxiao did not ask the concubines to be carried naked. He still liked to take them off by himself, and did not want to be too mechanized, so he allowed the concubines in the harem to dress themselves and search the female palace and then go to the Ganqing Palace to serve in the Ganqing Palace.

At this time, shortly after Zhu Youxiao issued the order, Wang Chengen brought the wooden sign.

Zhu Youxiao directly chose to let the queen Zhang Yan serve in bed.

But Zhu Youxiao did not plan to choose Zhang Yan in the future. His plan was to turn the wooden cards in the entire wooden card box, just like completing a process, starting with the queen and cycling once, so as to maximize the probability of the royal heir appearing, which is to say that the so-called rain and dew are equally affected.

After Zhang Yan arrived at the Ganqing Palace, she stood by the edge of the door of the warm-up pavilion and watched the emperor Zhu Youxiao, wearing a net scarf, read the memorial.

Zhu Youxiao smelled a faint fragrance after bathing, just like the fragrance of flowers brought by the spring breeze. He glanced back and saw Zhang Yan standing by the door, folding her hands in front of her lower abdomen, nodding slightly, pursing her lips, and then said, "You go to bed first."

"Abide by the order!"

Zhang Yan replied, and then went to the imperial bed to lie down.

Zhu Youxiao looked at the original song.

Zhang Yan still looked at Zhu Youxiao.

I don’t know how long it took, but Zhang Yan couldn’t help asking: “Your Majesty, when do we do the serious business?”

"It's almost!"

Zhu Youxiao replied, closed the memorial, and walked towards Zhang Yan.
