After the imperial examination last year, Emperor Hongzhi prepared to clear the land again and implement the new policy.

As expected, these policies were subject to open and secret resistance from many people in the pilot areas.

Even the officials within the Northern Zhili area were lip service.

The data submitted by various places is no different from previous years.

In some places, if the increase is made slightly, or if the upper-class fields are changed to lower-class fields, it will be filled out.

In this way, even if the area of ​​the land has increased, the taxes to be paid remain unchanged if they are divided according to the proportion.

Emperor Hongzhi saw these things.

Through this canal transportation, he also wanted to let the people below see his determination to do things this time.

The canal transportation system is very implicated, but the emperor does not want to make big mistakes at all...

Even intensified.

This is also a reminder for those officials who disobey lip service.

If anyone disobeys the imperial court's orders later, he will also be severely punished by the imperial court.

But at present, although this incident has a deterrent effect, it has little effect.

After listening to his father's words, Zhu Houzhao nodded suddenly with enlightenment.

"No wonder my father said he would not be soft-hearted. It turns out that this matter has the effect of setting an example."

Zhu Houzhao was relieved now.

After Zhao Ce said that the prince might disappear without realizing his knowledge when he went on a tour, Zhu Houzhao already felt a sense of crisis in his heart.

Things that are unfavorable to the court and the people must be dealt with as soon as possible.

And the handling was done thoroughly, which just alerted other officials.

Zhu Houzhao's fight came, and Emperor Hongzhi didn't let him go.

Leave him to help with the memorial.

Zhu Houzhao was also obedient today and sat beside her to help.

The sound of paper turning sounds from time to time in the warm cabinet.

"Huh? Father, is this a memorial from Franjiman?"

Emperor Hongzhi glanced at it and nodded, "Not bad."

"Franji people want to maintain long-term trading with our Ming Dynasty, and we want us to open a trading port in Guangzhou Prefecture for them."

Zhu Houzhao remembered the Franco cannon he had recently tried and said with a clue: "Since their Franco cannon is more advanced than our artillery, why not exchange our goods for their weapons?"

Emperor Hongzhi raised his eyebrows slightly: "This is a good idea."

"However, the changes within the imperial court have been too great recently, so this matter should not be mentioned for the time being."

Now the court is still in chaos due to the canal transportation and the new policy.

The north is not stable either.

If the matter of buying weapons is mentioned at this time, I am afraid that the civil servants will collectively point the finger at this point and vent their dissatisfaction.

Zhu Houzhao said "Oh" and didn't worry about this anymore.

......

Saying it out both ends.

On the other side.

Zhao Ce, who went to work on the first day, was already off work and was about to go home.

Today, he did nothing serious.

I sat in my own position and looked through the past volumes and information.

The time for Hanlin Academy to pay is fixed.

Basically everyone leaves after get off work when it's time.

After getting off the carriage, I saw Su Caier and Xiaobao greeting him at the door.

"Husband is back."

Su Caier smiled and pulled her still-worn daughter to meet her.

Xiaobao also shouted: "Dada..."

Zhao Ce smiled and greeted them and hugged them all at once.

"Your husband went to Hanlin Academy to work on his first day. Are you tired?"

Zhao Ce picked up Xiaobao and pulled Su Caier while answering honestly: "I'm not tired at all."

"Just too idle and a little boring."

Su Caier didn't expect her husband to answer like this, so she blinked.

"The Hanlin Academy's errands are so leisurely?"

Then, she said happily: "Then in this way, my husband won't be tired."

Zhao Ce smiled and did not tell her the little thing that happened today.

"There is no major war now, and there is not much information to be compiled."

"I'm really tired."

After saying that, he talked about Zhu Houzhao's affairs that he also came to find him today, and briefly said.

Su Caier doesn't know much about officialdom.

So I didn't ask much.

Listen to him quietly and reply a few times occasionally.

When the family entered the house, Zhao Ce remembered Zhu Houzhao's words to test the hot air balloon.

"By the way, His Highness the Crown Prince has been studying the hot air balloons I mentioned earlier in the capital recently."

"Today he said that he had already studied almost everything and he could conduct experiments."

"I have to accompany him to experiment that day."

"Our yard is facing the direction of the palace. I wonder if you can see it at home."

Su Caier's belly is getting bigger and bigger now, and it is not easy to go out.

She is not a quarrel-like person, and she can stay at home every day.

When I was in Qingzhou, I heard Zhao Ce talk about hot air balloons.

What was popular together is the movie viewing portraits that are now heard on the streets.

When Zhao Ce said he would take them to see, Su Caier's curiosity was also aroused.

She said happily: "Is it moving like a Kongming lantern?"

"Then we should be able to see it at home."

Zhao Ce touched her belly.

"It's okay, when you unload the goods, I'll take you on the ride."

“Take us on a ride?”

Su Caier exclaimed in a small sigh: "Yes, just like my husband said, can we ascend to the sky and float?"

Zhao Ce said boldly: "Not bad."

“That’s when someone paints the hot air balloons we ride in to the color you like.”

The hot air balloon was developed by Zhao Ce.

Zhao Ce didn't know what Zhu Houzhao and his son wanted to do with this.

Should it be used for military purposes or to do a small business by the way?

But no matter what, it should be no big problem for the court to allow him to modify it privately.

Su Caier remembered the previous Kongming lantern, and was used by her husband to advertise.

The effect brought by that time was great.

She said happily: "Why do you want to write our name as before?"

"I can have another wave of advertising in this way."

Zhao Ce looked at this little money fan with a funny look.

"Now everyone knows the reputation of Caitangji."

"There is no need to advertise like this in the capital."
