SFS First Minister Section 554
First Minister Section 554
Beiping is no longer the front line, and the entire territory of Ming Dynasty is advancing northward... All in all, there are many benefits, and the overall situation of the world has changed for it.
Sapphire's victory can be called a strategic success.
Zhang Shuning also listened carefully to the discussion of the teachers and students. He felt that if he wrote down these words and gave them to Lan Yu, and let him have a look, that guy would definitely go to heaven!
Zhang Shuning listened a little, he was still thinking about the affairs of various schools, but he didn't expect that a senior came to him.
This person is also surnamed Zhang, but he is a native of Shandong. His name is Zhang Huan. He is three grades higher than Zhang Shuning and will be graduating soon.The two met when they were investigating the local situation together.
That time Zhang Huan was ill, and there was no doctor in the village. Zhang Shuning borrowed a donkey cart and took Zhang Huan to the county town. He bought him three doses of medicine, and he was considered alive.
Because of this friendship, Zhang Huan likes this elementary school boy very much.
Afterwards, the two chatted a few more times. They were not close friends, but they had a good relationship.
Some things are like this, if it is inconvenient to talk to your good friends, you don’t have to worry about it with ordinary friends.
Zhang Huan felt that although Zhang Shuning was young, he was calm and experienced, very assertive, and he was a good person to confide in.
So he came over in a hurry, pulled Zhang Shuning, and found an empty classroom. Zhang Huan was mysterious and saw no one around, so he said to Zhang Shuning, "What do you think of General Lan's victory this time?"
Zhang Shuning was stunned, "It's nothing, the level difference between Wa Kingdom and ours is too much, it's not a surprise that we won."
Zhang Huan suddenly smiled mysteriously, "You still don't understand... This battle hurt the Wa country, taught Goryeo a lesson, and beat the Jurchen... This is killing three birds with one stone! From then on, the north is ours, at least Liaodong One place, sit back and relax...do you admit it?"
Zhang Shuning nodded, "It's true, but it has nothing to do with you? Are you going to Liaodong to join the army?"
Zhang Huan shook his head and said with a smile, "I'm not joining the army, I'm going into business!"
"Business?" Zhang Shuning was stunned, and then said: "I remember senior brother said that your family is all educated, and you are not afraid of violating the family's wishes when you go into business?"
Zhang Huan blinked, sighed softly, and then said: "You don't know! I can't get out of school, and the elders in our family are really too strong."
"Elder?" Zhang Shuning was puzzled, "I haven't heard from senior brother!"
Zhang Huan looked at both sides again, and after confirming that there was no one there, he said: "Student brother, can senior brother trust you?"
Zhang Shuning blinked, and said with a smile: "Brother, if you want to seek to usurp the throne, I will not help you!"
Zhang Huan couldn't help laughing, "What nonsense...anyone can rebel, but I can't, our Zhang family can't!" When he said this, he couldn't hide his pride, and the corners of his mouth turned up, as if he was saying something special. Great thing.
"Student, your surname is also Zhang... But I think we are not the same Zhang, we can only say that we were a family 500 years ago, and it is also fate, so I will not hide it from you... My elder is No. 1 in the dynasty, It is Grand Master Zhang!"
"What?"
Zhang Shuning was stunned for a moment, and looked at the senior in front of him stupidly, are you kidding me?
Since when did my father have you as a relative?
Could it be that my father made some mistakes when he passed by Shandong?
No way, is this too nonsense?
Dad, if you really do this, I can't hide it for you, I have to tell my mother.
Zhang Shuning was shocked, but Zhang Huan was not surprised. He just sighed: "I knew you didn't believe me, but the fact is that I am a descendant of the Zhang family in Jinan. Speaking of it, Grand Master Zhang should be my uncle. It's a pity that he is an old man." I have never been back to my hometown, and I have never really recognized my relatives...but I know that it is because the old man is worried that someone will use his banner to do evil and damage his reputation."
Zhang Shuning listened silently, you continue!
As long as it's not my father's illegitimate child, we can talk about anything!
Zhang Shuning silently wiped off the cold sweat that didn't exist, and made a false alarm... He also quickly figured it out, this Zhang family is probably the Zhang family that his father originated from.It's just that Zhang Ximeng hates the family and opposes big families. He has never returned to his hometown, nor has he recognized these relatives.Of course, he didn't publicly deny it.
It's not wrong to say what Zhang Huan said.
"Senior brother comes from a distinguished background, which is extraordinary. It seems that he should not go to Liaodong to do business?" Zhang Shuning hesitated.
Zhang Huan shook his head, "Otherwise, I have thought about it carefully. According to our rules, if we divide the fields again next time, our Zhang family will also be torn apart. So if I want to maintain the dignity of the Zhang family, I should find a way to create a way." Road. Go to Liaodong to do business, make money quickly, and then buy properties to spread the branches. I can no longer study stupidly, and I can't be better than my old uncle in reading!"
Zhang Shuning still blinked his eyes, even if you have self-knowledge, I'd better just listen.
"Junior brother, it's like this. If I go into business, I must have some connections and someone to help me. We are in the same school, and there will definitely be a lot of business in our school in the future. There is also the engineering school, they are the best at making things, Make machines. You are safe, and the senior brother believes in you. If there is any good stuff, you should remind the senior brother in time."
Zhang Huan said very seriously: "Brother, after I leave, you just need to help me keep an eye on it, contact the personnel, and tell my brother if there is something good, and I will give you a little benefit. Ten guan... one hundred guan banknotes every year, what do you think?" Sample?"
Zhang Shuning couldn't help laughing, "I don't want it! It's nothing to do with a little effort."
Zhang Huan was immediately overjoyed, and said: "I can see that the younger brother is not a money-grubbing person. Forget it, let's do it, when the senior brother has achieved something, and you want to go to my place in the future, I will definitely arrange for you. Don't worry, I will treat you like a brother."
"Cough cough!" Zhang Shuning said hastily: "Senior brother comes from a high family and is a relative of Zhang Xianggong. I dare not climb high."
Zhang Huan was startled, and then he snorted angrily: "I said I am a relative of Grand Master Zhang. I didn't mean to bully others or show off! I just want to say that our Zhang family has a lot of talents, and Grand Master Zhang can assist Shengjun. Taiping. If I go into business, I can still be Tao Zhu! Just wait for my good news!"
Zhang Shuning was stunned, and praised earnestly: "Senior brother has great ambitions, I wish you success!"
Zhang Huan laughed happily, full of ambition, and there are quite a few people who have the same ambition as him.Accompanied by the good news, countless Shandong men took boats and rushed to Liaodong...
Chapter 769 Zhang Shuning's Hard Study Plan
Faced with the sudden appearance of relatives, Zhang Shuning remained calm... You can't just say yes, then just do it!Moreover, there are as many people as there are sand in the Ganges River who want to climb up to Dad, so they must not be sloppy.
Therefore, Zhang Shuning took the time to inquire about it secretly, and even took the opportunity of going out to investigate, and went to the Zhang family.
After he came back, he finally knew what was going on, and wrote a long letter to Zhang Ximeng, explaining the Zhang family's affairs...
First of all, they are indeed Zhang Ximeng's relatives, but strictly speaking, they are neither Zhang Ximeng's family nor Zhang Yanghao's family. Although they are not the same family as 500 years ago, they can definitely be traced back 200 years.
But to say that they are simply clinging to Zhang Ximeng, you can't say that. When the decisive battle in Chahan was held, they led the tribe to transport food and grass for the Ming army, and three tribesmen died.
It can be regarded as having contributed strength and shed blood for Daming Jiangshan.
Because of this, in the next process of dividing the land, although the Zhang family divided the land property, they still kept the floating wealth, and did not split up and move.
Compared with other big families, it is better than others.
Zhang Huan's father even served as the grain chief, and he completed the task very well. He rationed the grain on time and sent the grain to the court, so he was rewarded.
It's just that he was unlucky and didn't pass the examination of the food chief, so he didn't enter the court as an official.
But it was precisely because of this that he worked hard to train Zhang Huan, hoping to produce an official.
However, Zhang Huan is disobedient. He has little interest in being an official and insists on doing business to make a fortune.
However, he wanted to start a business, and the conditions were good. Even if Zhang Ximeng was not considered, the Zhang family was rich and well-connected in Jinan and other places. He came to Fudan School to study and met many people.
Secondly, he has grasped the timing very well. At this moment, he has just surrounded the soldiers and horses of the Japanese country, showing signs of victory. The great development of Liaodong is just around the corner, and it is easy to make a fortune.
After getting rich, what will he do?
Maybe the family tree will be revised again, and after a few years, he will really become Zhang Ximeng's nephew... Facing this situation, Zhang Shuning is actually very helpless.
He wrote to his father about this incident... If you want to say what's wrong with the Zhang family, what kind of lightning strikes they did, it needs to be completely split up, the distribution is all over the place, and the wives and children are separated.Obviously unreasonable, they have no major faults, and even have a little credit.
Besides Zhang Huan himself, he studied hard and was admitted to Fudan Academy, and now he seized the opportunity to decisively go to Liaodong to start a business and make a fortune.
If after a few years, he really has achieved something, he can only be happy for others.
But after Zhang Shuning learned about the experience of this nephew and senior, he was not so comfortable.
The reason is very simple, the Zhang family didn't distribute the floating wealth back then, so they were still far richer than ordinary people, the children of the Zhang family were generally literate, and there was quite a collection of books at home.
These advantages are beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
Moreover, Zhang Shuning also found out that in order for Zhang Huan to be admitted to Fudan School smoothly, the Zhang family hired three teachers.
It can be said that Zhang Huan was sent in with all his strength.
This is not to say that Zhang Huan is really bad, but that if he was born into an ordinary family, it would be extremely difficult for him to enter Fudan School.
After Zhang Shuning sorted out these things, he couldn't help asking his father a question... From the point of view of the Zhang family, they cultivated the younger generation and worked hard to improve. There was no problem, and they were even very inspirational.
But for ordinary people, it is too unfair.
Their study conditions are far inferior to Zhang Huan's, and they can't afford to hire several famous teachers... In fact, many times, it's not that they don't want to work hard, but that they don't even have the direction to work hard.
Is this fair?
Zhang Shuning didn't know, he really wanted his father to come to a conclusion.
The letter was in Zhang Ximeng's hands, and Zhang Ximeng read it several times, but there was only a long sigh and some silence.
how to say?
It is also difficult for him to answer, if even the situation of the Zhang family cannot be tolerated and needs to be disposed of, then there will be too many enemies, and the world must be in chaos.
What's more, governing the country also requires talents. Scholars of similar backgrounds are spread throughout the government and the public. The number is very large, and it is impossible to use them.
But Zhang Shuning also told his father one thing. According to his preliminary understanding, almost all the children of the Zhang family entered the school, and the enrollment rate of the children of ordinary people was less than [-]%.
What's more, the schools I went to weren't very good. According to Zhang Shuning's introduction, those schools were at the level of a literacy class. After a few years, if you can write your own name, it's not bad.
It is impossible to become a talent.
At the end of the letter, Zhang Shuning raised a terrible question, is this situation fair?
It was also difficult for Zhang Ximeng to answer, so that he was lost in thought for several days.
As a result, Zhu Yuanzhang discovered the clue, and Lao Zhu was also busy writing a book. After asking, Zhang Ximeng could only give the letter to Lao Zhu.
After Zhu Yuanzhang read it, he also fell into a long silence.
"Mr. Zhang, do you think there are many such cases?"
"Many!" Zhang Ximeng said, "Actually, as far as I know, whether it's Jimin Academy or Fudan Academy, children from such good backgrounds account for about [-]% of them."
Old Zhu frowned, and sighed: "But the rich family, I'm afraid it's less than [-]% of the entire Ming Dynasty!"
Zhang Ximeng nodded, "Indeed, there is a huge gap between the two sides in terms of enrollment ratio."
Old Zhu said in a deep voice, "What does Mr. Zhang think should be done?"
According to past experience, Zhang Ximeng has always been full of ideas and never disappoints, but this time Zhang Ximeng fell into a long silence. To be honest, he really didn't have a perfect solution. After a while, Zhang Ximeng said slowly: "All I can think of is to encourage other students to work hard on the questions."
Lao Zhu pondered slightly, "What do you mean?"
"It's just studying hard, working hard, and putting in ten times the effort and effort to make up for the gap... In short, you can't accept your fate!"
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "That's all right?"
"Of course not!"
"Then why are you risking your life?" Lao Zhu was puzzled.
"Death can make those with better conditions uncomfortable!" Zhang Ximeng replied.
Lao Zhu is still puzzled, can it be useful?
Zhang Ximeng made a calculation for Lao Zhu, and now less than [-]% of the wealthy households, not even half of them.The number of their children is far less than that of real poor families.
In other words, the ratio of the number of people on both sides may be twenty, thirty to one, or even more.
A person's intelligence level is largely inherited from innate talent. Although education can change some, it is not a decisive role in the end.
And those children from rich and wealthy families are not all geniuses, a large part of them are mediocre, and even because of their good background, they become lazy and lazy, can't bear hardships, and can't become talents.
At this time, if all the children from poor families study hard, they may not be able to beat the top rich children, after all, they have taken advantage of the right time, place and people.
But those with poor aptitude and those who don't like to study hard can be easily eliminated.
Moreover, due to the large number of children from poor families, geniuses who occasionally emerge from among them can still rank among the top ranks.
"So the minister's method is to work hard and never admit defeat. Once you give up, those middle-class rich children can easily climb to a good position. Over time, a group of scholar-bureaucrats will really appear. Further development, it is Nine-rank Zhongzheng has been established." Zhang Ximeng sighed: "Princes and generals are kind! This is left to us by our ancestors, so no matter what, the imperial court should encourage students to work hard, instead of responding passively and not thinking about making progress. !"
Zhu Yuanzhang pondered silently, then nodded and said: "Mr. Zhang's words are reasonable, but we read Shuning's letter and found some places, even if we want to study hard, I'm afraid we can't do it!"
Zhang Ximeng nodded, "That's true. There are still too few famous teachers' books, and the cost of reading is too high. I don't know what to do if I want to make the children work hard!"
Lao Zhu was very irritable, and he snorted: "In the final analysis, there is still too little money...Mr. Zhang, you advocate the development of industry and commerce, and reform of fiscal and taxation. Now we understand that without money, nothing can be done now. To Li Shanchang and Lan Yu and the others have decreed that we must see the money as soon as possible, the more the better! No matter what they do, even if they are blackmailing, kidnapping and ransoming people, they must get us money!"
Lao Zhu was really furious, his decree fulfilled Sapphire.
This guy has surrounded tens of thousands of Japanese pirates, and almost all the elite of the Japanese country are in his hands.
Sapphire wrote directly to the Wa country, asking for money, if he wants someone!
Li Shanchang scoffed at Sapphire's operation.
What a brain, too uncreative.
Then Li Shanchang sent a letter to Goryeo... The Japanese generals are so cruel, if they let go, they will go back to the mountain.So, if you want to abolish the war power of the Japanese country, you just pay some money, and it doesn't cost much. The old man will detain him and leave it to you to deal with. Whether you kill him or not, you have the final say.
This is a good thing for future generations to cut off the scourge, so you don't even want to spend this little money, do you?
Lao Li took out all the methods used in the Yamen to eat the plaintiff and the defendant.
This method is enough to make Lan Yu ashamed, and Zhu Di shed tears, it is really impossible not to be convinced.
