Daming: At the beginning, Zhu Yuanzhang simulated the National Games

You know, nowadays a war horse costs at least twenty taels of silver.

Two thousand war horses, that's 40,000 taels of silver.

The reward of more than 1,000 acres of fertile land to Zhu Gaoxu was almost 10,000 taels of silver.

Now Zhu Gaoxu has asked for another two thousand war horses, which will really cost him his life.

But Zhu Gaoxu didn't care about this.

Since Hu Weiyong dares to gamble, he must accept it.

Not to mention anything else, if he loses, the 10,000 recruits outside the city will be completely surrendered.

There is no such thing as a pie in the sky. Since he dared to bet so big, Hu Weiyong's bet couldn't be too small.

Hu Weiyong also understood this truth, but he did not expect Zhu Gaoxu to be so ruthless as to trick him into using two thousand horses.

Seeing Hu Weiyong frowning and not saying a word, Zhu Gaoxu said with a hint of ridicule: "No, no, no, Hu Xiangguo is the leader of hundreds of officials, don't you want to cheat?"

Even if Hu Weiyong had the intention of cheating, he couldn't say it out after being so provoked by Zhu Gaoxu.

Thinking of this, Hu Weiyong said with a dark face: "The Prince of Nanyang is joking, I will send it to the Prince in a few days."

After saying that, Hu Weiyong flicked his sleeves, stopped talking to Zhu Gaoxu, and left directly past Zhu Gaoxu.

Zhu Gaoxu looked at Hu Weiyong's furious back, sneered, and then walked away.

As soon as he left the palace, Zhu Gaoxu took Ah Da and others towards the Fairy Brewery.

When he came to Xian Brewing House, he saw that the door was closed. Zhu Gaoxu was not surprised. After all, it had not officially opened yet, so there was no point in keeping the door closed.

With a look in his eyes, Ah Da nodded and went to call the door.

"I'm coming."

After a while, Li Quan's voice came from inside.

As Li Quan opened the door, Li Quan quickly saluted after seeing Zhu Gaoxu.

"No need, let's go in first."

Zhu Gaoxu raised his hand to signal to Li Quan that there was no need to be polite, and then led everyone inside.

As soon as he entered, before reaching the backyard, Zhu Gaoxu smelled a strong aroma of wine.

Taking two quick steps into the backyard, Zhu Gaoxu saw that the entire east wing was filled with wine vats covering half of the room.

He nodded and stretched out his right hand. Li Quan handed over a chopstick with great discernment.

Opening a wine jar, Zhu Gaoxu dipped the wine inside and nodded with satisfaction.

The wine he tasted this time was obviously higher in alcohol content than the last time. It was obvious that Li Quan had separated the first half and the second half of the distilled wine according to what he said.

Looking at the current stock of wine, Zhu Gaoxu nodded with satisfaction, and then said to Li Quan: "Send someone to bring five tanks of wine to the palace in a while, and ask for the best first song."

Li Quan nodded, indicating that he had taken note of it.

Then Zhu Gaoxu went to look at the distillation equipment for making wine. Seeing that the servants were already using it skillfully, Zhu Gaoxu nodded and left the Fairy Brewery.

This time, Zhu Gaoxu did not wander around the capital anymore and returned directly to the military camp.

As soon as he arrived at the military camp, before Zhu Gaoxu had time to rest, a scholar dressed as a Confucian scholar found Zhu Gaoxu.

"My young prince, Mr. Song has been waiting for a long time. If you have nothing to do, please come over."

When Zhu Gaoxu heard this, he remembered that he still had a teacher.

After rubbing his aching head, Zhu Gaoxu nodded helplessly and followed the scholar.

Song Lian's residence is similar to that of Zhu Gaoxu, but Lao Zhu obviously takes better care of Song Lian.

Not only were two eunuchs assigned to serve him, but they also had people move in a lot of special furniture for the palace.

When we arrived at Song Lian's tent, the outside was transformed into a teaching place by Song Lian. There was a curtain blocking the inside, so it was probably Song Lian's bedroom inside.

At this time, Song Lian was already sitting in the middle, opposite a small table and bench.

Zhu Gaoxu first bowed respectfully to Song Lian.

Immediately, he sat down on the small bench consciously.

Seeing that Zhu Gaoxu was so well-behaved, Song Lian nodded, and then started today's formal teaching without delay.

"Today I'm going to talk about arithmetic. Youdao is about arithmetic opening up the mind. Today we're going to talk about a chicken and a rabbit in the same cage."

Zhu Gaoxu, who had just sat down, almost hit Ha Qie when he heard that the chicken and the rabbit were in the same cage.

I don't know why, but as soon as Zhu Gaoxu sat down at the desk, his eyelids couldn't help but twitch.

Just when Zhu Gaoxu was about to fall asleep, something suddenly occurred to him, and he said cleverly: "Teacher, this method of chicken and rabbit in the same cage is too simple. If students can do math, can they be exempted from today's class?"

Song Lian, who was about to say the topic, was startled when he heard Zhu Gaoxu's words.

Even for him, it took him many years to understand the mystery of the chicken and the rabbit in the same cage.

Although Song Lian knew that his new student was smart, he didn't think that Zhu Gaoxu was really that smart.

Thinking of this, Song Lian chuckled and said: "Okay, I will ask you a few questions. If your highness answers correctly, there will be no more lectures today. If your highness answers incorrectly, you will have to listen to the old minister's lecture for the past two days."

It’s been an hour.”

Song Lian also wanted to take this opportunity to rub off the arrogance of his new student.

Jade is a good piece of jade, but it cannot be used until it is polished. It must be treated well.

But Zhu Gaoxu was not worried at all. Seeing that Song Lian agreed, he immediately said: "Teacher, please come up with a question!"
