"Here, call Ning Yi."

As soon as he returned to Prince Yan's Mansion, Zhu Zhanji's expression became heavy.

After a while, Ning Yi crossed the threshold and trotted all the way to Zhu Zhanji.

He raised his hand and said, "Your Highness."

Zhu Zhanji raised his eyes and looked at Ning Yi. After thinking for a moment, he said, "I have something to do with you."

Ning Yi was Zhu Di's confidant who stayed in the Ming Dynasty, originally just casually. Now it happened that Zhu Zhanji returned to the Ming Dynasty, and he had a dark eye for the Ming Dynasty, so he happened to take Ning Yi with him.

"Your Highness, please give me your instructions." Ning Yi didn't ask the reason, just clasped his fists and bowed.

Zhu Zhanji organized his speech and said, "I want you to find out what the academy's rewards are as soon as possible, preferably in every detail."

"Yes, my subordinate will go right away."

Of course, Ning Yi had heard about the academy's establishment of awards, but he was not a student of the academy after all, so he didn't pay much attention to it. Now that His Highness wanted detailed information, he needed to go out and inquire carefully.

"Go ahead and see the better."

In the evening, Ning Yi returned to Prince Yan's Mansion to report to Zhu Zhanji.

"Your Highness, my subordinates have inquired clearly."

When Zhu Zhanji heard Ning Yi's request to see him, he felt happy and hoped to bring him good news.

Now that he heard Ning Yi's words, he couldn't wait to reach out and said, "Speak quickly."

"Yes." Ning Yi bowed and straightened up slightly, "Your Highness, this is what the academy rewards are like. I heard that in order to encourage the academy students to invent and create, Ning Yi specially set up 100,000 yuan in each of the three colleges of mathematics, physics and chemistry.

Awards are used to reward the most outstanding students."

"Huh?" Zhu Zhanji was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Three hundred thousand yuan is really a generous sum."

He was talking about being generous, but it could be seen from Zhu Zhanji's faint smile that he was serious about 300,000 yuan.

Guan didn't care at all.

It's possible that the generous statement was a joke on his part.

Ning Yi didn't care about this, he nodded in agreement and continued, "When the news spread, the entire academy students were excited. Even the people heard about it and discussed it for a long time. Just after His Highness returned to Daming

On the eve of the incident, it gradually calmed down."

"Boiling?" Zhu Zhanji's eyes lit up and he asked loudly, "Are you sure?"

"OK." Ning Yi nodded quickly.

Thinking that Zhu Zhanji didn't believe it, he quickly explained, "I found out that when the academy announced the news, all the laboratories in the academy were crowded with students, and everyone was eager to produce results so that they could win the championship in one fell swoop.

I heard that in the academy’s laboratory, there are still people doing various experiments late at night.”

"Okay, very good!" Zhu Zhanji clapped his hands and laughed inexplicably.

Ning Yi was stunned, he didn't understand what was so good about this.

But Zhu Zhanji's inner thought was that since the attraction of 100,000 yuan to the academy students was so great, it meant that they were in great need of money.

It's okay if he needs them. Only when he needs them can he easily get hold of these academy students.

Zhu Zhanji had no intention of explaining to Ning Yi and continued to ask, "Are there only three rewards in total, each one worth 100,000 yuan?"

"Yes." Ning Yi was a little confused. From what His Highness said, he didn't take the academy's rewards seriously.

You must know that when this news was announced, everyone was shocked and dumbfounded.

Think about it, if a person obtains 100,000 yuan, this is simply a step to the sky. If he is Ning Yi

If he can have so much money, his whole family will not have to worry about it for three lifetimes.

Zhu Zhanji shook his head and smiled disdainfully, "Three hundred thousand guan may seem like a lot, but in the end only three people can get it. This ancestral tomb can't even be smoked, it must be on fire to get it."

"The hope is very slim!"

Ning Yi didn't think so. He asked doubtfully, "Aren't there still three people who can get it?"

Zhu Zhanji stood up leisurely, put his hands behind his back, walked to the window and took a few glances in the direction of the academy.

He turned his head and said to Ning Yi, "It looks like there are three people, but in fact there is only one person. There are specializations in the arts. The three subjects of mathematics, physics and chemistry are profound and unpredictable. It is rare for ordinary people to be able to specialize in one of them. How can there be three?

Are you proficient in them all?”

"And how many people are there in the academy? This is simply one in a million!"

"Ah!" Ning Yi finally understood.

In the past, he was envious of the academy students being able to obtain such awards. He also imagined that if he were an academy student, wouldn't these awards be in his pocket?

Now he was reminded by His Highness that even if he is an academy student, the hope of getting a reward of 100,000 guan is very slim, let alone 300,000 guan.

"Then the academy established this award just to tease the students, right?"

Zhu Zhanji turned around, shook his head and said with a smile, "Of course not. Although I don't know why Lord Zhen Guo did this, he must have a deep meaning."

"That's right, Duke Zhen Guo is extremely intelligent and it is impossible for him to do anything to show off." Ning Yi nodded.

A person's name, the shadow of a tree.

People like Ning Yi, who lives in the market, know very well how high the reputation of Lord Zhen Guo is in the capital. After all, wine shops and teahouses have always been a place for people to brag, chat and gossip.

The Duke of Zhen was often laughed at by others for his actions, but in the end everything turned into a crazy slap in the face to those people.

Zhu Zhanji's eyes moved, and the smile on his face became stronger and stronger, "However, Duke Zhen Guo's move has done me a big favor!"

"Ah?" Ning Yi was puzzled.

Only then did Zhu Zhanji come to his senses and Ning Yi was still here.

Facing Ning Yi's curious eyes, Zhu Zhanji had no desire to explain to him, and waved his hand and said, "From now on, I don't care how much manpower and material resources you use. I have only one request, and that is to keep you informed of the progress of the academy's rewards at any time."

Condition."

"Yes." Ning Yi was overjoyed and quickly agreed.

Zhu Zhanji did not let him go easily, and continued to warn him, "Don't be careless. Not only do you have to find out which three people are most likely to win the reward, but you also need to find out about the other participants."

"Ah?" Ning Yi was stunned. No wonder His Highness just said that money and people were at his disposal. It turned out that they were waiting for him here.

As far as he knows, there are more than a thousand people participating in the academy award selection this time. If so many people want to find out clearly, how much energy will it take?

"Your Highness, the hope of these other people getting rewards is very small, right? We also need to find out clearly?"

"Yes." Zhu Zhanji nodded firmly.

Ning Yi felt embarrassed, but Nuonuo didn't speak.

Zhu Zhanji saw it and asked, "What? Can't it be done?"

"Your Highness, please forgive me." Ning Yi explained the difficulty to Zhu Zhanji.

Zhu Zhanji was shocked after hearing this and asked in disbelief, "What did you say? Thousands of people participated?"
