Another World Da Ming: I use a hundred lives to become holy

"It is a great blessing for the country to have two of you, my dear ministers! I will write a letter to inform the emperor later!"

Time passed quickly. While Crown Prince Zhu Biao was thinking, Zhao Zheng and Lu Shang moved to the side and played chess for half a day after getting his consent.

With Zhao Zheng only knowing the true level of Go rules and not cheating, Lu Shang has gone from being happy with winning to being numb with winning.

So when Crown Prince Zhu Biao finally came to a resolution, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then I will..."

After entering the palace today, they were locked in the Fengtian Hall in the morning and in the Imperial Study in the afternoon. Even though they were given the privilege of dining together, which others could not get, the two could not hold on any longer.

Besides, the goal has been achieved now, and the best thing to do is for everyone to go back to their own homes.

"My dears! My dears!"

"It's getting late, why don't you have some cakes before going back? By the way, I would like to talk to you two about your opinions on the new divisions in the Imperial College."

Who would have known that Crown Prince Zhu Biao was like a jealous thief who stole melons. Today, he not only wanted to take the melons, but also the vines.

Fatigue flashed across Lu Shang's old eyes. He first looked at Zhao Zheng beside him, intending to unify opinions first.

But he didn't expect that Zhao Zheng's previous restlessness disappeared in an instant! There seemed to be a golden light flashing in his eyes!

"Lord Zhao has an idea?"

The eunuch Wang Ji, who was serving food, had just brought up the pastries when Crown Prince Zhu Biao waved him away, and the task of pouring tea was naturally taken over by him.

The eunuchs were not surprised, and before Zhao Zheng could say anything, they all hurried out of the room and closed the door of the imperial study.

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

"I was just thinking about what the Hanlin scholars were discussing outside the gate. The establishment of the agricultural and industrial divisions hastily showed that they did not consider the students of the Imperial Academy enough."

Zhao Zheng picked up the teacup and took a sip. In fact, his brain was working frantically during this interval.

"My dear, it is indeed a bit rash for you to say that."

A hint of disappointment flashed across Crown Prince Zhu Biao's eyes, and then he looked at Lu Shang.

The truth is that the more Zhao Zheng cares about something, the more carefully he considers it. Originally, he had already made some assessments of this sudden proposal for division of subjects, but who knew that now it seemed like just an ordinary proposal.

"Your Highness, I think so too, but I have some different opinions!"

Lu Shang avoided Zhao Zheng and looked completely at Crown Prince Zhu Biao, but was immediately interrupted and attracted by Zhao Zheng.

"Your Highness! I just thought of a foolproof plan!"

"The perfect solution!"

Minister of Revenue Lu Shang turned his head again.

Crown Prince Zhu Biao also attracted all the attention.

"My dear, please speak!"

Zhao Zheng nodded politely, put down the empty teacup in his hand, and then, in front of Lu Shang's surprised gaze, snatched the hot tea that he had just taken a sip of.

"Lü Gong, can you lend me your cup first?"

The surprise soon passed, and both of them focused on Zhao Zheng's explanation.

"Your Highness, please look! The Imperial College is like this cup of tea that has only been sipped. If you want to add new water, there is space, but it is not enough. If Lu Gong wants to continue drinking, he has to blow on the hot air a few more times."

"But this empty teacup is different. When you pour new water into it, you can fully taste the second cup of tea and put it aside to dissipate some of the heat. It doesn't delay either."

"The only drawback is that Lu Gong has to give up the fact that this cup has been used by Zhao."

After saying that, Zhao Zheng respectfully returned the teacup to Lu Shang.

Crown Prince Zhu Biao fell into deep thought again.

The teacup is not a teacup, and Lu Shang is naturally not Lu Shang.

The only two listeners at Zhao Zheng's storytelling session naturally understood what he meant.

There was just one thing that the two of them didn't understand at once.

......

"Lord Zhao, although there is some money in the treasury now, the reconstruction of Shuchuan still needs to wait for the effect of the steam engine being deployed. Let's find a teacup..."

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Crown Prince Zhu Biao's face.

When power is not threatened, there is no monarch who would not want to do something big if he has surplus money and food.

During the more than ten years of the Kaiming era, the kings' westward advance, the Cross Railway Project and much more were revealed.

But Crown Prince Zhu Biao understood better that all this was closely related to the Zhao Mansion.

And now he wants to be wise...

"Hahaha, Your Highness, why bother looking for a new teacup? Isn't there one right here?"

When Zhao Zheng looked at the appearance of Crown Prince Zhu Biao, he felt as if he was back to the time when he was sent off at the city gate. Unfortunately, he knew that it was just an illusion.

As the teacup rubbed against the tabletop, Crown Prince Zhu Biao and Minister of Revenue Lu Shang both looked up.

"There is one right now..."

The two still didn't turn around.

After all, the Imperial College was not some county primary school that could be pawned with just two empty houses.

But apart from this, is there any other vacant space in the entire Sun and Moon Dynasty that meets the required standards and regulations?

"Your Highness, have you forgotten where I am on duty now?"

Zhao Zheng looked at Crown Prince Zhu Biao with a smile on his face. The red glow of the sunset was beginning to appear outside the imperial study with his back to him.

The two of them understood instantly, and then said in unison: "The former Ministry of Works camp!"

But the difference is in the expressions of the two men. The young man has a look of sudden enlightenment on his face, while the old man frowns at first and then changes his expression in sync.

"The former Ministry of Works Camp is indeed a good place, and the specifications are sufficient, but Minister Zhao..."

Lu Shang paused for a moment, and Crown Prince Zhu Biao turned his head and looked at him.

"If this is implemented, won't the division of subjects become the main subject, and won't the whole world be dissatisfied?"

"Lü Gong? Agriculture is the foundation of a country, and industry is the basis of a prosperous era. So what if it becomes the main subject?"

Zhao Zheng smiled and shook his head, then slowly told his plan as a rhetorical question, and Crown Prince Zhu Biao also nodded.

Being alone has its own advantages. It makes isolation and control easier. However, Crown Prince Zhu Biao narrowed his eyes for a moment.

"What do you think, Lord Zhao, if the subjects are divided into main subjects, who will be able to take on the role of doctor or chief priest?"

The tone of inquiry, but firmness without hesitation, represents the position of Crown Prince Zhu Biao.

"Your Highness, I think that the working people have their own wisdom, but the plows in the east are crooked, while the plows in the west are straight."

"What do you think, Your Highness?"

Zhao Zheng did not dodge, but continued to look into Prince Zhu Biao's eyes with a smile until Prince Zhu Biao took the initiative to dodge.

"My dear minister, what you say makes sense, but without the doctoral lecture notes, it is inevitable that it is less formal."

Crown Prince Zhu Biao felt a little embarrassed, but he would continue with his necessary tests.

"Doctors can serve as lecturers in the Imperial Academy part-time to carry on the title, but as for the position of chief priest, in my opinion, no one in the world is better than Mr. Zhao..."

Crown Prince Zhu Biao has already shown his cards, and if it were someone else, it would be a great blessing.

But on the side, Lu Shang, who was unable to get a word in at this time, understood clearly, and Zhao Zheng also understood, that this was a poison.

And it is a poison that cannot be avoided.

After all, no matter how Zhao Zheng refused, if he made Crown Prince Zhu Biao's words known, he would only be agreed upon, no matter what those people thought in their hearts.

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

"But I think there are better candidates for this position of chief priest, and the people of the world have been waiting for it for a long time."

Being unable to dodge was a lie to Zhao Zheng.

“Who can be the one?”

The two people with different mental activities both had stunned expressions at this moment, and then they both felt at ease at the same time, and inexplicably relieved.

"The Queen."
