First Minister of Ming Dynasty

First Minister Section 613

For example, Zhu Xiongying, he likes farming, so support him in agronomy.

In the future, if the little guy can grow into a good agronomist, sit on the dragon chair and govern the country, maybe it will be different.Similarly, other princes and grandchildren can carry forward any unique hobbies they have.

For example, if you like carpentry and do some carpentry, there is absolutely no problem.Of course, if you can't think about it, you want to cultivate longevity, make alchemy and meditate, you will definitely get a spanking.

Your hobby must be legitimate.

As for opening a zoo and collecting a bunch of lions, tigers, and elephants... that's still up for debate, whether Lao Zhu's family needs a zoologist.

All in all, once something starts, it can't be stopped.

The old Zhu family is famous for being rich in all kinds of messy scholars. The fields involved by the Zhu family are enough to shame other royal families in the past, and the gap can even be several orders of magnitude.

After Zhu Yuanzhang learned that his grandson wanted to find some helpers, he immediately became energetic.

This is a good thing, no matter what, we must support it.

As for who to choose, Lao Zhu first thought of the couple from Lao Zhang's family.But soon Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head again, the two children are still a little young, let's wait another two years.

And Lao Zhu was scratching his head a little bit, the quality of the Zhang family's baby was too high for him to control at all.

Zhang Shuning devoted himself to running a school and promoting enlightenment, so I won't talk about it.

Fatty Zhang Chengtian used to think he was the son of a tiger father and son, so he didn't live up to it.But Lao Zhu had seen too much, and he was a little terrified.Zhang Chengtian is definitely a master at pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger.

He has Zhang Ximeng's cautiousness, and his moral bottom line is more flexible. Among the second-generation sons of the Ming Dynasty, there are definitely not many who can play better than Zhang Chengtian.

With these two jewels in front, no one can say how powerful the third and fourth will be.

If they were in a hurry to get them to the emperor's grandson, it would be hard to say if the three brothers joined forces.

Besides, the Zhang family's reserve army is also scary.

Zhang Shuning is already engaged to Xia Zhifeng. They will get married in a few years. One is an educator and the other is astronomy. When these two get together, they are both arts and sciences, and they are invincible in the world.

Even if you are the son of heaven, at this moment, you have to do nothing. Cultivating the next generation and having a good enough heir is the foundation of everything.

In the past, he only paid attention to quantity and ignored quality, which is definitely the most painful lesson!

No, the fourth child is getting married too.

In the future, if their dolls are up to the challenge, they should be brought to their side and raised well.

In any case, we cannot lose to the old Zhang family!

It's just that after saying this for several years, Zhu Yuanzhang has always been at a disadvantage, and has never won at all.

This time, Lao Zhu was really ruthless, and he had to come up with something real.

In order for a child to excel, besides talent, good partners are also very important.

The first is to choose some generals.

For example, Zhu Ying's second son, Xu Da's fourth son, Chang Yuchun's eldest grandson, Hu Dahai's grandson...these are all within Lao Zhu's snare.

It's just that besides them, there are also some folk prodigies.

The first thing that Lao Zhu thought of was the Jimin School. There was no other way. For so many years, Jiangxi has produced prodigies, which has become known all over the world.

In addition to the wave of Hu Yan and Huang Guan, Xie Jin, Yang Shiqi, Jin Youzi and others were among the group selected by Lao Zhu for his grandson.

In addition, from Fudan School, Tie Xuan was also recommended in the children's class, and sent to the capital successively.

With so many good seedlings coming to Beijing, what if the teachers can't keep up and teach the children badly?

When the big guys take a look at the person in charge of teaching, whether it is Jimin School or Fudan School, they are all honest.

Xia Zhifeng is in charge of all these children.

Today's Xia Zhifeng, through the publication of the round earth theory, is already considered the most famous young scholar in the world. In addition to astronomy, she has also written new books on mathematics.

And in Xia Zhifeng's new book, the concept of calculus is even touched.

Zhang Ximeng's belief that this girl can enhance his reputation is really not nonsense.

After all, you don't need to know the king or who the prime minister is, but you must know Master Newton!

It is definitely more than enough for Xia Zhifeng to teach these young people.

Moreover, Lao Zhu found Zhang Ximeng himself, "You are really rare as an apprentice. We plan to reward you with something... but I don't know what to do."

Zhang Ximeng murmured, "How does my lord plan to reward you?"

Zhu Yuanzhang said helplessly: "We gave her money, it's vulgar. She is not rare to be rewarded with official positions. She has no military exploits if she is knighted... But such a talent, if we don't express it, it seems that we can't justify it. No, Ask your master for his opinion."

Zhang Ximeng thought for a while and smiled: "My lord, if you say that, I feel like Ma Sanbao's father and brother, and there are many others who have contributed to the country but are not easy to be knighted, they should all show something... How about we get a Daming Medal?"

Chapter 848 Don't forget the heroes

Zhang Ximeng and Lao Zhu mentioned medals. It wasn't that Zhang Ximeng was idle and wanted to hang something on his chest... After all these years, Daming has developed to this day, and there is an urgent need for such a system to inspire people and guide the direction.

For example, Xia Zhifeng, who has made great breakthroughs in science, how should he be rewarded?

Old Zhu has already said that it is not appropriate to give money to officials, and being a knight is too much.

And there are many who are found to be inferior to Xia Zhifeng, they should also be rewarded, directly to an earl, in that case, the title is too worthless.

In fact, there is another option, that is, the loose order. For example, Jiang Nan, she relied on the special admission to Dr. Guanglu's loose order, and changed into a first-grade jade belt to enjoy the first-grade treatment.

It's just that this scattered system is only set up for civil and military officials.

If it is a normal person, it is not suitable.

You can't count all those who have achieved a little bit as officials!

There are many people who, with the bodies of ordinary people, have achieved great things by chance, and this kind of people should also be rewarded... In short, it is seriously not enough to rely on official titles and lords alone.

Therefore, a whole set of medal system must be established to reward meritorious ministers.

Zhang Ximeng and Zhu Yuanzhang counted with their fingers, good guy, there are quite a few people who need rewards.

First of all, the Ming Dynasty must show its achievements in expelling the Hulu, restoring China, and rebuilding China.

In the highest position of all medals, it is the Chinese hero.

Zhang Ximeng proposed to use gold to make medals... This Chinese hero medal has mountains and rivers on the front and the Great Wall on the back, with a big red ribbon on it, which is festive and auspicious.Dignified and generous.

There is no doubt that this medal will cost a lot of gold and materials.

But Lao Zhu still agreed, "Sir, Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, Feng Guoyong, Hu Dahai, they should all have a share, and those who have passed away should also be awarded posthumously. As for sir, don't refuse, this is also yours Deserved it!"

Zhang Ximeng frowned, and finally nodded, "My lord, this China Hero Medal is not only for the generals who lead the army, but also for the heroes who charged and fell into battle, as well as the warriors who expanded the territory, and even the heroes who completed the global voyage. They should all have a share. These people have given my Chinese sons and daughters a broader space for survival and development, and have regained our dignity and decency. They should be rewarded... In addition, I propose to use the Chinese Hero Medal as a model, and add various gems to decorate it, which is called victory. Medals are only awarded to those who have won major victories for the country. For example, Xu Da won the Hukou War and regained Beiping, such as Lan Yu's Lingbei battle this time!"

After thinking about it for a while, Lao Zhu also agreed. Although the status of Chinese heroes is the highest, they are relatively broad, and the scope of awarding honors is very wide.

The Victory Medal is for the main leading generals and heroes of the Ming Dynasty.

Only those who have truly made great contributions can obtain it.

It is very high in gold content.

In a word, to get the Victory Medal, you must be a general who is qualified to be a Duke.

This can be regarded as a sweet treat for the old brothers.

Zhu Yuanzhang agreed with all of them.

After finalizing these two items, the rest of the medals will be enriched.

For example, Zhang Ximeng proposed the establishment of the Science Progress Medal, which is mainly to reward talents who have made outstanding contributions in the field of scientific research.

In addition, he also suggested that for the heroes who have emerged in the past 20 years of war, the establishment of the Great Ming Meritorious Medal... Zhang Ximeng and Zhu Yuanzhang planned the award arrangement, determined the award criteria, and then chatted about the people who should be awarded.

The more they chatted, the more emotional they became, as if they had revisited the experience of the past 20 years, and once again swept the world with gold and iron horses.Talking about those weird and incredible people and things in these years, both of them can laugh and enjoy for a while.

As a result, Lao Zhu couldn't wait to issue medals and summon these people to Beijing.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of presenting awards, I will meet up with old friends and relive the glorious past.

"We have also reached the year of destiny, and we are no longer young. This award must be done more lively... As for the expenses, let Zongzheng Temple pay and take the royal account."

Old Zhu pondered for a while, and then said: "We also provide the gold, silver and precious stones for making medals and medals... By the way, I have an order for Zhu Di. If it is convenient for him, he can donate more. Also, the awarding documents, Let the grand master write it, he should work harder!"

Good guy, Lao Zhu paid for it, and Grand Master Zhang wrote it himself. This thing can definitely be used as an iron coupon for the alchemy book.

In terms of effect, I'm afraid it will be even better.

In the past, Zhu Yuanzhang also awarded gold medals, gold bowls, etc., and now it is only natural to award a large number of medals.

It is worth mentioning that when discussing who could get the first China Hero Medal, there was a fierce quarrel.

Because according to Zhang Ximeng's standards, some people couldn't get around.

For example, Han Shantong!

This is the one who started the firecrackers in the Red Turban Uprising. Although he had just gathered 3000 people, he was taken down by the magistrate, and he died before he left the army.

But I'm sorry, he is the originator of the mountain.

Then Liu Futong's Han Song, including Zhima Li, Bu Wangsan, Guo Zixing, etc., all responded and followed. No one can deny this.

Since it is a heroic feat to raise troops against the Yuan Dynasty and restore China's mountains and rivers, it can't just be Xu Dachang Yuchun's Northern Expedition, right?

And this time it was clearly stated that the dead should be awarded posthumously, so Han Shantong has no reason not to give it.

Even Fang Guozhen, who opened up Xiaoliuqiu, was also credited.

In addition, Guo Zixing, as Lao Zhu's guide, shouldn't be counted!

Zhang Ximeng presided over the discussion, Sun Yan, Song Lian, Liu Bowen, and the rest of the people got together, you have a word, I have a word.Make it like a vegetable market.

For such a big award and such an important move, it must be fair, reasonable and able to withstand scrutiny.

Zhang Ximeng could only summarize the opinions of the big guys and let him go to see Zhu Yuanzhang later.

"My lord, although Han Shantong died a long time ago, Xiaoming King Han Lin'er is still alive, as well as Guo Tianxu and Zhang Tianyou, they are all alive too!"

When Lao Zhu heard this, he couldn't help but roll his eyes. It's okay for others, how can Guo Tianxu and Zhang Tianyou still have the face to live?This is really good people don't live long, and the disaster will last for thousands of years.

However, when Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne, these two people were also invited to watch the ceremony. It has only been more than ten years, and it is not surprising that they are living well.

Lao Zhu pondered over and over again, and finally nodded.

"Then let's do it all! We will give what is due. As for how to be fair and reasonable, sir, please be careful."

Zhang Ximeng nodded and accepted the task.

As the news spread, the quiet Ming dynasty became lively again.

The peaceful years after the founding of the country have been forgotten by people. In fact, the war ended not long ago, and those famous people in the past have not died yet.

For example, Xiao Ming Wang Han Lin'er, he lived well.

This year Han Liner is less than 40 years old. He works as a literature teacher in a middle school.

Normally, Han Lin'er leaves early and returns late, teaches hard, works hard, and never speaks much when working overtime.

A few years ago, he married a young widow. After the couple got married, they were considered harmonious.

Now there is a three-year-old daughter under her knees, the little girl is eccentric and very interesting.

Just when Han Lin'er thought he could live his life, someone from the government suddenly found him.

At that moment, Han Liner's heart was cold.

Finished!

After all, I still can't escape!

I didn't do anything!

But I'm sorry, since ancient times, what reason is needed to get rid of people like them.It's just that the wife and children at home have suffered. If I had known this before, why should I get married.

It was I who harmed you!

Just when Han Lin'er was desperate and wanted to die, the official opposite sent a bright red bronzing invitation card.

"It was issued by the Taishi Mansion on behalf of His Majesty, you are really blessed!"

Han Lin'er didn't know which leg he was on. When he entered the house, his wife greeted him directly, and scolded: "I told you to buy some salt, why don't you remember? I still need to pickle pickles. After a while, there is nothing to eat. It’s time to blame me again, it’s really pissing off.”

She took off her apron, pushed Han Liner away, and went out to buy salt.

But the moment she pushed Han Liner, Han Liner reached out and hugged his wife.

"I, I'm going to Beijing!"
