Suleiman said this and his eyes shone.

He slowly said: "Although the Ottoman is big and strong, spanning thousands of miles and carrying millions of armor, they live in a mixed race, and the gods they believe in are different. Because of this, the tribes and tribes are separated. You need to be the only one technique to determine the idea of ​​the monarch's determination. Then you can then use the general principles of the Ming Dynasty, to be able to use the imperial examination and the eight-legged essay exams, and you can hold one hand into a fist... This is a good medicine for governing the country."

He said, but became depressed again.

These days, he kept thinking.

Suleiman is an ambitious man.

He had to think about it every day that his ambition was to conquer Persia, to go west to Italy, and to seize the territory coveted by the Ottomans for a long time.

But the Ottoman has gone through ten generations of monarchs. Although it has been expanding continuously, it still stops in Austria...

Taking a deep breath, a sharp edge flashed in his eyes.

After many years of experience in Kasha, he has long established his firm character.

To a certain extent, he had the same temperament as Emperor Wu of Han in the Central Plains.

Smart, ambitious, but stubborn!

They also control their world with their iron fist and strong perseverance. Once they set their goals, they will be unmoved and will be like steel.

He said lightly: "If anyone objected, then so what? Using your principles, I am their father, king, minister, father, son, and son. You can wear a barbarian and ride a horse, what's wrong with me? Not bad, not bad..."

Liu Shang was listening to Su Leiman's foolish words, but his heart was sour.

Someone else's prince.

Other people's princes are thinking about the way to govern the country every day, while their own prince... is said to be very careful now... to cultivate the land.

Suleiman came to his senses, looked at Liu Shang, and said, "I will bring the great scholars to write down the learning of Confucius, set up eight essays, and select officials from the imperial examinations. Then I will ask all Confucian scholars to teach their knowledge in my capital. Do you think it is OK?"

Liu Shang: “…”

Suleiman couldn't help but be stunned: "What are you thinking?"

Liu Shang said: "No."

"No, I can see." Suleiman took a sip of tea.

In fact, he didn't like drinking tea at the beginning, but slowly, he fell in love with it. Once he fell in love, he couldn't let it go.

When the tea enters the mouth, it is like the Central Plains culture that has been around for thousands of years. As the elegant tea slowly flows into your mouth, you can taste this unique oriental charm.

Liu Shang smiled bitterly.

Suleiman, however, had a different kind of shrewdness. In his seemingly weak body, he had little thoughts that were not in line with his age, and said in a unique way: "Are you thinking of your prince again?"

Liu Shang was stunned, then shook his head quickly: "No, no."

Suleiman smiled and said, "You don't have to be afraid. In fact, I have been in contact with the scholars these days. Whenever I mentioned the prince, they shook their heads. Although they dare not speak, they could see from their expressions. I know your thoughts so well. You see that I am seeking a way to enrich the country and strengthen the army, but your prince is still like a child... right?"

Suleiman said it very bluntly, and Liu Shang wanted to argue something.

After all, he was a Han minister... but he ended up saying nothing, feeling that such a debate did not have much confidence.

Seeing him in a dilemma, Suleiman smiled and said, "Forget it, I will present the matter of the National Book of China as soon as possible, and I will not make things difficult for you. Yes, thank you for your hard work these days."

After saying that, he winked at the waiter beside him.

The waiter understood and immediately took out a piece of gold.

The gold was solid, half the size of a fist, and was delivered directly to Liu Shang.

Liu Shang glanced at Jinzi greedily, but hurriedly shook his head: "What is your Highness's intention?"

Suleiman said gently: "You are a country of etiquette, and I am also a sensible person. This is your reward for taking care of you for many days. A good monarch will not be stingy with gold and silver. This is a little care. Please accept it with a smile."

Liu Shang's face trembled.

How great would it be if the prince of his family could do this to him.

The so-called scholars die as confidants.

When he thinks about his mortgage, he seems to be endless. When he thinks of the debt that he will have to repay in the next decades, Liu Shang's heart hurts.

But then, he said seriously: "I am a wise minister. How can I receive favors from foreign countries? If this is the case, I will lose my morals. Your Highness, the prince loves and is grateful, but Liu Shang is grateful, but this gold cannot be accepted. If your Highness looks down on me, Liu Shang, please take it back. Otherwise, you will underestimate the officials."

Suleiman's face turned solemn, thinking to himself, this is a country of gentlemen.

After Liu Shang said these words, he still looked at Jinzi reluctantly. He wanted to slap himself, but he really wanted to be face-to-face, but he still tried hard to show his uncompromising look.

…………

Emperor Hongzhi looked at the report and found it very strange.

I mentioned this person named Suleiman, but now it's good that the factory guards have asked for it, and countless people praised Prince Suleiman.

He said he was respectful to the wise and the poor, and he advocated Confucianism and was eager to learn.

Although no one mentioned the prince.

But Emperor Hongzhi vaguely felt that some people regarded Suleiman as a mirror and became the opposite of the prince.

Emperor Hongzhi seemed to say nothing about this.

Unlike these ministers, Emperor Hongzhi had already found what he wanted.

However, a letter of association for salary submitted by Fang Jifan aroused great interest from Emperor Hongzhi.

In fact, salary needs to be changed, and this is an urgent issue.

In Baoding and other places, the salary is actually different.

After all, since they chose officials as officials, these officials always wanted to support their families. Even low-level officials were recruited, rather than the simple traitors in the past. You have to let them get out of production and concentrate on being officials.

When the salaries of officials are obtained, the salaries of officials, officials and even officials will change step by step.

An interesting phenomenon even occurred.

The officials selected by the Ministry of Personnel began to be assigned to various provinces and prefectures. The salary of the selected officials was drafted by the Ministry of Personnel. Their salary was not lower than that of ordinary local officials, because the local officials followed another salary system.

Now, the income of the treasury is different from the past. While inspecting the capital, changing the salary and rank has become a new problem.

As usual, it is still the experience in Baoding to promote it.

The cabinet's attitude towards this seems a bit ambiguous.

After all, those who are ministers are all subordinates of saints, so I feel embarrassed to talk about money.

No one can mention this matter of asking for a higher salary, and only Fang Jifan proposed it is the most appropriate.

But the cabinet's attitude was ambiguous and ambiguous. In the vote, he only made a hesitant statement: "May be debatable."

Then... nothing.

Emperor Hongzhi knew it in his heart, pointed at the memorial and said with a little caution: "The factory guards have put their minds on this these days, checking the prices in various places, and if the current salary is used, if the officials have no other income, will their lives be difficult..."

Xiao Jing quickly bowed and said, "I obey the order."

Soon, an eunuch came: "Zhang Sheng, Minister of Rites, met with him."

Emperor Hongzhi nodded: "Xuan."

Zhang Sheng came in and saluted.

"Your Majesty, Ottoman submitted his letter of state."

Zhang Sheng took out the letter of nationality. Originally, Zhang Sheng did not need to report on the letter of nationality in person. However, the last time His Majesty specially criticized the Ministry of Rites for this, so he came in person.

Emperor Hongzhi nodded. Actually, the letter of state is just a matter of doing something. If you don’t read the contents, you will probably know what it is.

Emperor Hongzhi said: "Then look for an auspicious day and let the Ottoman envoy meet you."

"yes."

After saying that, Emperor Hongzhi lowered his head and prepared to continue reading the memorial.

But when he felt that Zhang Sheng was not moving, he looked up and said, "What else is there for Zhang Qing's family?"

Zhang Sheng said: "This Ottoman prince has an unhappy request."

Emperor Hongzhi put down his imperial pen and looked at Zhang Sheng with interest: "I heard that the Ottoman Kingdom is a country of ten thousand chariots, with a armor of one million, which is not comparable to an ordinary small country. This time they intend to rebuild the commercial route, which is not a bad thing. You are the Minister of Rites. If his envoy has any requirements, you can try your best to meet it. If his country sends envoys to visit, it is natural for me to treat each other with courtesy in the Ming Dynasty."

"This matter is a little different." Zhang Sheng seemed a little embarrassed, with a little bit of embarrassment.

Your Majesty, this is not a small request.

Emperor Hongzhi frowned. Could it be that... the requirements are unreasonable?

If so, this is offending Tianwei.

Emperor Hongzhi had a little more solemn look on his face and said lightly: "Come on, let me listen."

Zhang Sheng said: "This prince hopes...the Ming Dynasty can allow him to ask a well-educated man to return west."

A well-educated man?

Emperor Hongzhi frowned and said in surprise: "This man is ambitious. Do you actually want my academician?"

Zhang Sheng felt as if he was stinging his heart, and he shook his head: "Your Majesty, you are a Confucian scholar."

"Oh." Emperor Hongzhi breathed, and seemed to have felt much more relaxed all of a sudden, but... this seemed to be inappropriate, so he said, "I understand."
