First Minister Section 559
First Minister Section 559
Zhu Yuanzhang remembered that it was the first time in his life that he saw his father drunk.
Although their family borrowed a lot of money for this wedding, the whole family still firmly believes that life will get better.
They worked hard, worked hard from morning to night, and tried their best to make money, just to be able to repay the loan.
After several years of busy work, I finally saw hope... But a plague suddenly struck, and my parents and elder brothers fell ill and died one after another.
The originally extremely difficult family fell apart in an instant.
Since then, Zhu Yuanzhang's life has never been brighter. He worked hard in the temple like a slave. He went out to beg for food and slept in a barren mountain cemetery.
For a bite to eat, he had to bow his knees and beg hard.
He has seen the bones of the dead, the poor man whose stomach is as distended as a ball, and Yi Zi who eats...
He, Zhu Yuanzhang, was not born rebellious. Even at this point, he didn't want to be a traitor. He returned to the temple and continued to work as a coolie, only eating twice a day to barely eat.
Until the uprising of the Red Turban Army, Tang He wrote him a letter, but this letter was discovered again, and he wanted to report... Zhu Yuanzhang had no choice but to join the army!
Zhang Ximeng saw the end all the way, and his eye circles were already red.
"My lord, this book should really be read by all young people. No matter what, they must not give up on themselves!"
Chapter 776 Who Are You?
"This book is finished, sir, please help me to make the preface!" Zhu Yuanzhang directly invited Zhang Ximeng to make the preface. After all, he is the only one who has the qualifications to see the world.
Zhang Ximeng agreed without hesitation.
"The minister is obliged!"
Zhu Yuanzhang's self-reported childhood experience can be called simple.Even at the time of birth, there are usually red lights all over the sky, fragrance overflowing, and fire trucks walking per capita. There are no such plots.
After reading this book, you will even feel kind. You don’t need to be too old, as long as you are a middle-aged person, you can feel the bitterness of Lao Zhu, and even many young children can also resonate.
Go up the tree to catch the cicada, go down the river to touch the loach.
Herding cattle for the landlord, wanted to study, but couldn't even afford Shuxiu, and had to give up after attending a private school for a few months.
The eldest brother got married and continued the Zhu family's incense, so he had to borrow money and go into debt.When he got to the second brother's place, he could only marry a wife.
Drought and plague completely destroyed this family... There is no such thing as a wise man, and there is no choice but to do it as a last resort.
He is a person, always live!
It's okay to be a little monk, but it's also okay to go out to beg for food and wander!
In order to live, I did everything.
But even so, he couldn't survive.
The war came, the temple was burned, and the letter from the companion was discovered by others.
He was already so unlucky that someone still planned to report on Zhu Yuanzhang and exchange his head for a reward from the master of the Yuan court.
You have pushed me to a desperate situation, and I can't even lie on the ground and live humblely, so I have to straighten my spine and pick up a knife and gun.
I have nothing left to lose!
Fight!
Fight to the end with this world!
Do not compromise, do not give in, do not fear death, do not admit defeat... In fact, if you understand this book, you will also understand Zhu Yuanzhang.
The background of the Ming Dynasty is precisely Lao Zhu's unyielding fighting spirit.
Zhang Ximeng's article, Juntian's proposition, divide history, restore China... Although these things are very important, strictly speaking, they can only be icing on the cake, and they will go more smoothly.
In other words, Zhang Ximeng explained very well why life is difficult, why there is no food to eat, no clothes to cover your body, why you can't do it even if you want to be a slave...
It is because the Yuan court did not treat people as adults. To be precise, it regarded the Han people in the south as cattle, horses and livestock.But they don't know that people are not cattle and horses. Once the anger of thousands of people is ignited, it will surge and be unstoppable until it completely burns an old era.
His Majesty wrote it himself, and Zhang Xiang wrote the preface. A book recalling Lao Zhu's childhood was born out of nowhere.
Starting from Beiping, it was initially published, and then Yingtian and other places also worked hard to publish books... This book, the court officials, everyone, up and down, must have a copy.
After all, as a courtier of Daming, he doesn't even read His Majesty's books, do he still want to mess around?
In addition, every school, not to mention the top ones, even ordinary middle schools, also have to buy books and use them to read.
When Lao Zhu wrote the inscription on the imperial mausoleum, many people memorized it verbatim. Listening to Lao Zhu's detailed narration this time is even more moving.
And it's such an urgent moment, others can't feel it, and the princes of the court don't understand!
Although His Majesty did not say a word, this book has already explained too many things.
Sun Yan was one of the first to get the manuscript. He put aside his official business, held it in his hand, and read it carefully. He was already sweating profusely and his heart was beating wildly.
God bless, finally I am not confused.
Your Majesty doesn't talk about the destiny of the destiny, or how miraculous he is, but the most common things. He talks about the hardships of life and the hardships of the people.
Don't you get it?
The common people don't want many things, but they can live in peace, have enough to eat without going hungry, have a little hope, live a better life, have hope in the future, and they will be satisfied without any complaints.
"I invite you guys to come here just to say this. The next school funding must be implemented. Every money must be spent on the school and the students. Anyone who dares to be greedy will be punished immediately. Loan, we will never tolerate it! Yushitai is responsible for watching this matter."
Xu Da nodded happily, "Where righteousness lies, there is a duty to do so."
Sun Yan continued: "Also, you must have read Your Majesty's book, I want to talk about my experience... If we have to say, His Majesty was born in response to the destiny, to expel the barbarians and restore China... It would be biased to say that. After all, His Majesty’s book has already written clearly. There is only one reason why His Majesty decided to join the army in the first place, and that was that he couldn’t survive.”
"In all dynasties, there have been officials who forced the people to rebel, and they had to rebel. It was not just because of the oppression of the Hulu, which was cruel and inhumane. Counting from the Chen Sheng and Wu Guang Uprising, to the Yellow Turban Uprising, to the Huang Chao Uprising, and the previous uprisings in the Song Dynasty... this It's the common people who can't live on, so they have to reverse the Red Scarf Uprising including ours this time, and it's the same reason!"
Facing Sun Yan's words, Wang Guangyang pondered slightly, and said: "Sun Xiang, look, this Yuan Dynasty is still different from the previous dynasty. We talk about expelling the Hulu and restoring China, and saying that the Hulu will not have a century of national destiny, so we say The most important thing is that they are cruel and heartless, compared with previous generations, they are much crueler, it is simply not the same!"
Sun Yan chuckled, "Wang Xiang said that the Yuan court was more brutal than the previous dynasty... But you can't say that the Han, Tang, Zhao and Song Dynasties will not be cruel at the end of the year, right? The people are forced to have nowhere to go. It’s all about not being able to survive. Is there a distinction between being unable to survive?”
Sun Yan laughed and said, "I don't think it's necessary! Hahaha!"
As soon as his words fell, Qian Tang immediately said: "What Sun Xiang said is very true. After the case of Tang Lu, the Grand Master re-interpreted the Juntian Order... In the final analysis, it is to maintain the foundation of Ming Dynasty and let everyone have Land property can ensure enough food and not starve. Now we need to reform education and give the big guys a chance to study and improve. In summary, we still need to give the people fairness, eliminate public grievances, and make the Ming Dynasty last for generations!"
Qian Tang continued: "If the scholar-bureaucrats are allowed to return to the court, and they control the court officials, what is the difference between this group of people and the Han and Tang aristocratic families, Zhao and Song civil servants, and Mongolian nobles? Aren't they the same breed? If they are allowed to annex land and do whatever they want How is it different from the Mongols staking their land? Also, if you let the aristocratic families let go, raise slaves, play brothels and casinos everywhere, and treat the children of poor families as playthings, how different is it from the Mongols? Let me tell you. , it’s just half a catty!”
Wang Guangyang frowned, "It's too much, it's too much... The Han and Tang dynasties are both prosperous dynasties, which have been passed down for hundreds of years. They are different from the Yuan court, which has no national fortune for a hundred years!"
Just as Wang Guangyang finished speaking, Sun Yan suddenly smiled, "Wang Xiang, I suddenly remembered something. There is a play in Hongmei Pavilion on the market. Jia Sidao in it is a treacherous, a big treacherous. If someone tells me, You are three times better than Jia Sidao... Do you think I should be happy or sad?"
Everyone was stunned, and after a while, Xu Da couldn't help laughing. With him taking the lead, everyone else laughed too, except Wang Guangyang, whose face was very ugly, and he only laughed dryly to relieve the pressure.
As a result, the more I laughed, the more embarrassed I became, so speechless.
What should I say about this shit?
If a few years later, someone explains that the dynasty has lasted so many years longer than the Yuan dynasty, which is three times as long as the Yuan dynasty, much stronger than the Yuan dynasty!
This seems to be true, but for the Dukes of the Ming Dynasty, is this to praise them for their ability, or to call them useless?
how about it?
It seems hard to say, right?
If you only want to be better than the Yuan Dynasty, or even only a few times better than the Yuan Dynasty... Should everyone jump into the Qinhuai River?
Sun Yan looked at the crowd and said with a smile: "Since that's the case, I might as well say it straight. There is no room for any hesitation in running the school. There is one more thing to do next, and that is to make preparations for the new division of land... It is the next thing that must be done. The Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, the Taxation Department, and all other government departments must put forth great efforts. If I do not do well, I will ask Your Majesty to resign. As for You wait, please go and apologize yourself!"
You guys are so angry, you resigned and it's over, but let us apologize, you can't go too far!
But everyone also understands, really don't complain, the next reform of finance and taxation is even more difficult than education reform... I don't know how many times harder!
It's hard to come by these days. This person surnamed Sun is even more hateful than Li Shanchang and Zhang Ximeng combined!
Those two have to weigh the pros and cons when doing something, but when it comes to Sun Yan, he just pushes it, if you can't do it well, that's your business, anyway, I don't need to explain it.
Grandma, he is quite comfortable as a butcher!
But no matter how much the big guy complains in his heart, there is no other way but to admit it with his nose pinched.
The books written by Zhu Yuanzhang will naturally be sent to Fudan School, and Zhang Shuning also has a copy.After flipping through it, he suddenly thought of a person, and he wanted to visit Cai Ben, his teacher.
Up to now, Zhang Shuning is still very contradictory. In fact, Cai Ben's investigation of the situation of the people and his rigorous scholarship are still worthy of Zhang Shuning's praise and learning.
But Zhang Shuning could never agree with this person's thoughts.
Talented but not virtuous, virtuous but not talented... There are really too few people in this world who have both ability and virtue.
I haven't seen him for a while, but Cai Ben is already very old, with a gray beard, messy like weeds, not the meticulous appearance of the past at all.
"Mr. Cai, what do you think of His Majesty's book?"
Cai Ben snorted coldly, with an indifferent expression, "As a student, you overthrew me as a teacher. What can you get yourself? You have ruined your bright future at such a young age. You will understand soon! "
Zhang Shuning was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "My future is irrelevant. But the future of the students is more important than anything else. I have already summarized the experience of Xiahezhai Middle School into a book, and I will publish it soon. When the time comes, the poor There will be many more opportunities for the children of the family!"
When Cai Ben heard this, he was taken aback for a moment, and blurted out, "You, what is your identity? Who will help you? How can you publish such a rebellious book casually? You, who are you?"
Chapter 777 The Victory of the Poor Family
Faced with Cai Ben's question, Zhang Shuning suddenly felt very funny.
"Mr. Cai, I still respectfully call you Mr. But now, you still think you are bullying others, or want to do something to you? You don't think, what's wrong with you?"
"Wrong?" Cai Ben suddenly flew into a rage, "I made a mistake because I didn't know people well, and I made a mistake because I accepted a white-eyed wolf! You rebelled against your teacher, and the future Daming will definitely not have your way of life. You, you are finished!"
Hearing this, Zhang Shuning couldn't laugh or cry. If there was any last thought before, it was gone.
"Mr. Cai, I am a student at Fudan School, and I will probably be an ordinary teacher in the future. I will teach my students well, teach them what is right and wrong, and teach them which side to speak on. I will expect them Be the pillar of Ming Dynasty, the backbone of China. But I absolutely don't want them to be grateful to me, and obey. I also don't think about gathering a group of people, obeying my own arrangements, calling the wind and rain, whatever... In short , I will keep in mind the method of study that Mr. taught me, and carry it forward. As for Mr.’s conduct, I think Mr. should take care of himself.”
After speaking, Zhang Shuning got up and left.
Only Cai Ben was left here, his face livid with anger... He is not a fool, on the contrary, he is very smart, and he even has a deep understanding of what Zhang Ximeng said.
Otherwise, it wouldn't be flourishing in Fudan School.
But in Cai Ben's view, what Zhang Ximeng said was about the same as Confucius's. It could be written on paper and talked about, but it couldn't be taken seriously.
Following the way of Confucius and Mencius, scholar-bureaucrats held great power, assisted the emperor, and governed the country... Now the situation is different, but fundamentally, it is still the same.
Fudan School and Jimin School enroll two to 3000 people every year. These people will take part in the imperial examinations and become officials after deducting some special occupations. There are about 1000 people in their early years.
These 1000 people are far more than the four-year imperial examination in the Song Dynasty.
In other words, the founding foundation of Ming Dynasty is still much stronger than that of Song Dynasty.
But that's all, don't go any further.
The annual education expenditure should first be allocated to a few large schools, and then most of it should be placed in traditional educational provinces and places where cultural contexts converge.
For example, in Jiangxi, there is also Jiangnan, and because of Fudan Academy, Shandong also has more points.
About [-]% of the funds fall on these places, and how much the rest of Beiping, Shanxi, Huguang, and Bashu can get is their luck.
As for Guangxi, Yunnan, Gansu, and Shaanxi, these places are not considered at all.
It has to be said that Cai Ben is really a genius. His division of funds and future plans are simply the distribution map of Ming Dynasty's imperial examination talents in history.
In the early Ming Dynasty, Jiangxi and other places dominated, occupying almost half of the court hall.Later, with the increase of financial resources in the south of the Yangtze River, Susongchang Town, Zhejiang and other places came from behind, such as Donglin Party and Zhejiang Party, they controlled the court and controlled the country and society.
The rest of Fujian, Shanxi and other places only use soy sauce, and other places are not even qualified to make soy sauce.
Some people may ask, can this kind of thing be controlled?
Isn't it whimsical?
It's really not.
It's not just Cai Ben saying that, there are many people who hold similar views!
Their means are not complicated, the first is the budget input.
Concentrate most of your money in these places.
Teaching and educating people is essentially spending money.
Raising the best teacher is not cheaper than raising a doctor!
Where there is money, there are people.
Then, with a little thought on teaching arrangements and exam design, you can let the people you want enter the school and occupy the main places.
Then I will vigorously promote it, talk about something very fantasy, the origin of the family, the collection of the culture, the stars of Wenqu, God's blessing... So far, [-]% of this matter has been completed.
Is there any difference between it and history?
