Chapter 257 Arrangements for Zhang and Qi

"My things are not that easy to get."

Looking across the silent crowd, Zhu Houzhao felt a little secretly happy in his heart.

Playing moral kidnapping with him, but who is playing who is still unknown.

The technology for manufacturing rune items is not of high value to him. It will gradually depreciate with the proliferation of rune items in the future. Even if it is given to everyone, it will not cause much loss to him.

But rune items and rune power are two completely different concepts.

Rune weapons, rune formations, rune buildings and rune power can build a huge rune system, which is applicable to all aspects and is of immeasurable value.

Giving the technology of manufacturing rune items to the emperors of the Ming Dynasty meant that they also had a basis for studying the rune system. Zhu Houzhao did not think that only the people from his Zhengde Dynasty were smart.

There were too many smart people in each dynasty of the Ming Dynasty. If you give them a foundation, they can advance rapidly in technology.

People like Liu Bowen and Yao Guangxiao cannot be judged by common sense.

In order to ensure that he could always be at the forefront of technology, Zhu Houzhao proposed to help each dynasty cultivate "rune masters" to recruit talents.

The king chooses his ministers, and the ministers choose their king.

The two looked at each other and began to talk with Zhu Houzhao about government affairs and military affairs.

"You two made me wait so much!"

On the way to the Zhengde Dynasty, they asked the head of the mission about the situation in the Zhengde Dynasty, and they already knew something about it.

After all, Zhu Houzhao's reputation was not very good. This Zhu Houzhao was cold and ruthless, while the other Zhu Houzhao was absurd. He wanted to see first to see if Zhu Houzhao was worthy of his loyalty and sacrifice.

Zhu Houzhao has been coveting these two people for a long time. As soon as these two people arrived, Zhu Houzhao couldn't wait to see them.

As for Queen Mother Zhang, let Emperor Hongzhi take her away!

Zhu Houzhao vigorously implemented reforms, abolished various harmful policies, banned the Governor's Office of the Five Armies, turned it into a military department, and expanded the military. Zhang Juzheng and Qi Jiguang admired all these actions.

Zhang Juzheng and Qi Jiguang were interested in considering Zhu Houzhao, and Zhu Houzhao was also interested in considering them.

The three of them chatted from morning to night. Although the time was not long, they had already established a basic friendship between monarch and minister.

Of course, there is another important reason for sharing rune item manufacturing technology with all dynasties.

Zhu Houzhao took great pains to help other dynasties not to fall behind, while also ensuring his own status.

We had just harvested wealth from each dynasty before, but now we have to harvest talents. How can we not be happy?

"Both of you are two of the most talented people in the world. How can you teach me?"

"We are all a family, and I will definitely ask the people at Sun Moon Academy to take more care of the students you send."

Qi Jiguang was a good fighter, but his IQ as an official was not very high. He just smiled on his face and still had considerations in his heart.

Therefore, technology can be given, but it cannot be given in vain. Each dynasty also has to pay a certain price, and this price is the outstanding talents of each dynasty.

"In a few days, we will send people to your Zhengde Palace to observe and learn. Zhu Houzhao, you must take care of it."

Zhang Juzheng, Qi Jiguang.

"Thank you for your majesty's great love, I cannot bear it."

After the banquet, Zhu Houzhao took Liu Jin, Wang Yangming, and the ten sword guards who were waiting outside the imperial garden back to his Zhengde Dynasty.

Qi Jiguang's military insights were also extraordinary, especially the use of various tactics, which was incredible. Zhu Houzhao had many generals under his command, such as Duke Mu Kun of Guizhou, Duke Zhang Mao of England, Chen Jiuchou, Chen Wu, and Li Min.

Others, compared to Qi Jiguang, are much worse.

If you pull each one in the right direction, then the water will flow slowly and steadily.

To be able to carry out drastic reforms and rectify the military affairs, such courage and courage cannot be achieved except by a heroic leader.

The same goes for everyone in Lao Zhu's family.

Zhang Juzheng was indeed the first ruthless person in the Ming Dynasty who dared to implement reforms. He had many unique insights on reforms, which impressed Zhu Houzhao.

With the abilities of Zhang Juzheng and Qi Jiguang, it is not difficult to achieve results. It will not take long before they will naturally enter the inner circle of power of the Zhengde Dynasty.

After some intense psychological struggle, Lao Zhu still ate the "honey" handed over by Zhu Houzhao.

Zhang Juzheng was slightly moved. Compared with Zhu Yijun, who regarded him as an enemy, Zhu Houzhao was indeed a wise master and gave him enough face.

Even if you can't explain everything in detail, you can still ensure that there are basically no mistakes.

In an era of great competition, talent is the number one high-level resource.

After getting what you wanted, the atmosphere of the banquet was no longer so stiff. Everyone drank and drank and sang happily.

He has confidence in his Zhengde Dynasty. Some people will never want to go back once they reach his Zhengde Dynasty!

The Zhengde Dynasty's attitude towards talents was unmatched by other dynasties.

Emperor Hongzhi and Empress Dowager Zhang can be said to be a model couple in the Ming Dynasty. They have a deep love for each other. If they want to reunite, Zhu Houzhao has no reason to stop them.

In the next few months, each dynasty sent selected outstanding students one after another. Zhu Houzhao did not deliberately make things difficult, and arranged for students from each dynasty to study in the Sun and Moon Academy, and recruited outstanding students among them.

At least on the surface, it looks like the guests and hosts are enjoying themselves.

Looking at the Wen Yiwu in front of him, Zhu Houzhao chuckled.

Zhu Houzhao smiled brightly and was sincerely happy.

The two newcomers sat in a high position that no one else could even imagine. This made the ministers think what they would think, which could easily lead to conflicts among the ministers and lead to turmoil in the court.

With the emperor protecting him and his own abilities not bad, it would be difficult for him not to develop well.

Among the four great generals in the military, one of them is none other than Qi Jiguang.

Zhang Juzheng and Qi Jiguang were new to the court and had not made any achievements. It was impossible to reach the sky in one step. Zhu Houzhao needed to consider the feelings of the ministers of the court.

Technology is dead and will be cracked one day, sooner or later, but people are alive, and only by relying on people's clever minds can we create stronger and more advanced technologies.

"coming!"

The future of the Sixteenth Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty is still long. He controlled the technology alone, and the progress of other dynasties was slow. From an overall perspective, it was not good for him.

Although Zhu Houzhao's character is not the kind of benevolent king they like, only Zhu Houzhao can support them to achieve their ambitions.

After comprehensive consideration, Zhu Houzhao assigned Zhang Juzheng to the Ministry of Household Affairs and Qi Jiguang to Fujian. He started from the lower levels and made achievements so that no one would object to their promotion in the future.

After a conversation, both parties were quite satisfied.

The envoys from various dynasties also returned one after another, and brought back the two people Zhu Houzhao deliberately named.

Regardless of whether Zhu Houzhao has ulterior motives or not, he is bound to acquire the technology for making rune items.

The Zhengde Dynasty was not like other dynasties. It did not impose such rules as using culture to suppress military power and promoting officials based on seniority.

Nine out of ten officials who do that are still cultivating land in Liaodong, working hard, and making outstanding contributions to the development and utilization of Liaodong and population growth.

After securing Zhang Juzheng and Qi Jiguang, the students from the Zhengde Dynasty traveled to other dynasties to learn and gain experience.

Those students caused quite a stir during their study tours in various dynasties.
