First Minister Section 507
When it was heard that His Royal Highness King Yan wanted to build a large university hall for Beiping, Beiping was shaken up and down.
It turns out that this absurd little prince can be reliable sometimes.
Those people who had their houses occupied moved out voluntarily, unwilling to ask for any compensation.
The people of Peiping took the initiative to come and help with the work.
There are more workers who come to work for free every day than the invited craftsmen!
On the other side, when the army learned of Zhu Di's plan, Li Wenzhong directly set up a military camp, and he personally led the troops into battle to build a martial arts academy.
After Hu Dahai found out, he was even more shocked.
At the beginning, Zhang Xiang arranged to farm in the north, which provided convenience for the teaching of the children in the army.Then the Changlu salt field was allocated to the big guy.
The foundation is already in place, and now the king of Yan wants to build the Peking University Hall, with great ambitions, it's the right time!
"Brothers, this is for our descendants! Don't say anything, do your best!"
According to Hu Dahai's order, all kinds of wood, bricks and tiles, if you don't want a penny, send them to Zhu Di.
Hu Dahai alone was enough. After Guan Duo, who was far away in Tieling, found out, he sent a thousand pieces of high-quality pine wood and donated 1000 taels of gold.
Zhu Di's enthusiasm was completely ignited, the big guy is so interesting, we Zhu Di can't stretch our hips!
In addition to patrolling the construction site every day, Zhu Di also gave full play to his skills and wrote letters to his father!
That's right, unlike Zhang Shuning who hoped to live an ordinary life, Zhu Di has a father and doesn't need it, so what's the difference between not having a father?
He immediately wrote an emotional letter to Zhu Yuanzhang.
Beiping is vast and sparsely populated, there is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles, and the bones of the dead are exposed in the wild.The living people have no food to eat, no clothes to cover their bodies...still willing to overcome all difficulties and do their best to build a school, promote enlightenment, and restore the heart of China.
Zhu Di also wrote, Zhang Shuning, who was still in his prime, donated [-] books to help run a school. How could his father, as the master of the world, be inferior to his children?
One more thing, Jimin School and Fudan School were both proposed by Prime Minister Zhang, and they are now world-renowned schools.The father is the son of heaven, the father of all the people, and he has been in power for ten years, but he has not built a university hall. Wouldn't it be ridiculous to talk about it in the future?
The child is not talented, and he is willing to do his best to build a school that is the best in the world for the Zhu family.
It's about the face of the father, the child can only do a little bit, as for success or failure, it is all in the ear of the father!
After receiving this letter from Zhu Di, Lao Zhu's eyes immediately widened!
Suddenly he slapped the table and shouted directly: "Zhu Biao, go and call your mother, let's discuss quickly and see how much we can pay!"
Chapter 7 and Four: Zhu Di has so many eyes
Zhu Di's letter is true, and Lao Zhu has been manipulated, and he has been manipulated to death.
There are several layers here.
First of all, Zhang Ximeng established two top schools.
Zhu Yuanzhang did not have one.Although there is a school order and a compulsory education law, but there is no signboard, so it is short.In the future, all the elites in the court were Zhang Xiang's disciples, but there were not many serious disciples of the Son of Heaven.
Secondly, Zhu Di has put his heart into running the school.This is even more heart-wrenching. Could it be that Lao Zhu can't even compare to his own son?Can't!
What was even more troubling was that Zhang Shuning donated [-] books.At the current price, there are [-] copies of [-] books.
If the shipping fee was included, Zhang Shuning donated [-] guan at once.
This is not an ordinary son of the royal family. When Zhang Shuning was a child, he wore open crotch pants and even urinated on the old Zhulong robe!It's good now, even such a little brat can sell one hundred thousand guan, how can Lao Zhu feel so embarrassed?
"We already know that the child is promising, and he is a person who can do great things, it's amazing!" Zhu Yuanzhang said, clapping his hands.
Zhu Biao was startled, "Father, have you finally discovered the ability of the fourth brother?"
Old Zhu was stunned for a moment, and then he said angrily: "We are talking about Zhang Shuning! It's Zhang Shuning! It's not Zhu Di's bastard... He put us on the fire, he is not filial! He should spank! In front of us, put His ass is blooming!"
Zhu Biao was stunned, no wonder, ever since they had children from the old Zhang family, they hadn't heard good things... Of course, Zhu Biao didn't know that Zhang Shuning didn't get any good things from Zhang Ximeng, which fully proved that the parents were both All the way, children are always good for others.
But if you want to say that you feel sorry for your children, no parent is willing to fall behind.
"Chong Ba, don't lose your temper and stop shouting and shouting. Tell me, what to do about this matter!" Empress Ma said: "Fourth Zhang Luo runs a school, this is a serious matter. I have heard you all these years How many times have I been here? The land of Yanyun has been divided for hundreds of years, Hu Feng is serious, and it suddenly becomes a foreign land. In these years, I have sent officials and established a school, and I have invested a lot of energy. If this school is established, it will be able to educate Beiping well. It’s no different from the Central Plains. It’s really the merit of the fourth child. Chongba, don’t even mention it, Zhu Di is absurd in small things, but he handles big things well. He opened his mouth, no matter what, I have to show some strength.”
Empress Ma laughed and said, "I still have 30 guan in my hands. It was originally for the palace to buy clothes and jewelry, so I took it out first and gave it to the fourth child."
After Empress Ma finished speaking, she looked at Zhu Biao, "You, as an elder brother, should also show it."
Zhu Biao nodded quickly, "Baby will naturally find a way to raise money for the fourth brother... But as far as Haier knows, the fourth brother also has a lot of money. As long as it is carried forward and a school is established, it should not be difficult."
"How to say?" Old Zhu asked curiously.
Zhu Biao explained with a smile. First of all, we will talk about wool spinning. Zhang Ximeng made this thing before the Northern Expedition. Counting now, it has been seven or eight years.
After the unremitting efforts of the craftsmen, it has finally developed.
The knitted wool is soft and ready to use.Even on the basis of felt, finer woolen fabrics have been produced.Zhu Di said that it can be used to make military uniforms and war jackets, and it is true.
Now that things have happened, Zhu Di is only one step away from living a happy life of being a sheep and cannibal.
"Father, General Lan and the others have recovered Kaiping City in Shangdu. From Shangdu to Peiping, it is [-] miles away. This area is rich in water and grass, rich in cattle and sheep. In addition, some time ago, they recovered the land of Liaodong, where the fertile fields Infinity is also suitable for raising livestock, cattle and horses. Moreover, there is no shortage of pasture and fodder, and the fourth brother wants wool, so there is naturally enough."
Old Zhu murmured: "It's not enough to just have land. There are so few people in Peiping, can it be done?"
Zhu Biao thought for a while, then said: "It depends on whether the emperor agrees or not... Actually, a group of people have been dispatched from Jiangxi. Moreover, Liaodong is also close to Korea. If you are really hard-hearted, there will be no shortage of manpower."
Zhu Biao's words were a bit cryptic, but Lao Zhu couldn't understand!
"Understood, we all understand!"
Zhu Yuanzhang slapped the table, stood up abruptly, and said with a sneer, "We only realize now that when Mr. Zhang advocated the development of industry and commerce, he talked a lot of empty talk. At that time, we thought it was not as true as what Juntian said. We were worried, The development of industry and commerce will be detrimental to the people, so we tried our best to stop it. As a result...you all followed him, and the civil servants and military generals of the court also believed his nonsense! Now I understand, our worry is not wrong at all, if you make you mess up To develop industry and commerce, the common people don't know how much hardship they will suffer!"
Empress Ma rolled her eyelids, and said helplessly: "Isn't this placed in Beiping, and all the people used are sinners, outsiders, why are you so angry?"
Old Zhu snorted, "Sister, you've lived too many good days, and you forgot that people's hearts are sinister. As long as it's profitable, who cares who you are! You tell them to use prisoners or Koreans, and they will listen to you." What? We also told the people below to be upright and honest, not to be greedy or take possession! Do you think they listen to us?"
Empress Ma turned her head angrily, "According to what you said, the fourth child will not be able to earn money to run a school? The industry and commerce will not be able to develop? You call it a waste of food because of choking!"
Zhu Yuanzhang got the reason this time, and he said politely: "It's not because of choking, it's to plan ahead! Zhu Di is still too young, and he doesn't have any good things around him. Let them go around and seek money, and things will get out of control sooner or later, and it will be troublesome."
Zhu Biao listened silently. He suddenly realized that Lao Zhu didn't seem to be objecting, but asked: "Father, what do you mean... you want to send an official there?"
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, "We've thought about it. Chu Qi has done a good job in Huguang. I originally wanted to transfer him to Beijing to be a minister. But he always talks about the bliss of great unity and the establishment of a great light environment." ...he doesn't fit in with other people, so it's just right for him to go to Beiping and look after our fourth child!"
Zhu Biao asked: "Father, then do you want Chu Qi to be the chief political envoy, or the inspector?"
Old Zhu smiled, "You left the left-behind department to Zhu Di, the chief envoy, and the inspector? Can these two officials hold Zhu Di hostage?"
Zhu Biao's face turned slightly red, and he lowered his head.
Queen Ma coughed and said, "Chongba, if you don't give the fourth brother power, he won't be able to run the school. Now you have to keep an eye on the fourth child, what are you going to do?"
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "We are going to set up a position that can control the three divisions. After thinking about it, we will be called the governor. Give Chu Qi the title of Yushi Zhongcheng, let him be the governor of Peking, and give the king's order flag!"
Good guy!
Lao Zhu directly sent an imperial envoy, which is enough.
The puzzles were uncovered layer by layer, and now, there is finally a feeling of enlightenment.
Zhu Di went to Beiping, tossing step by step. In addition to expanding the territory, he also needed to achieve a breakthrough in the industry.
It can even be said that he needs to explore a new model.
This is not something everyone can do. Zhu Di's daring and rebellious nature makes him very suitable for chasing profits, doing big things, and making big noises.
Zhang Shuning set up a bookstore, thinking of partnering with his classmates and hiring the parents of the students... Although the profit is not bad, it is far from being able to exhaust the resources.
Zhu Di was different. What this bastard wanted at the beginning was to use those prisoners, and what he wanted was to squeeze them desperately to maximize profits.
At first glance, this is a good seedling that lacks great virtue, and it is worth cultivating!
The three members of the old Zhu's family discussed for a while, and what Zhu Di lacked was not only money, but also various conveniences.
"Father, during the Northern Expedition, the canal was dredged, and now water transport can reach Beiping, but in winter, the river freezes and the water level drops, making it impossible to navigate. My child thinks that a seaport should be arranged to transport supplies by sea."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, "What else can we do?"
"My child thought that the large quantities of timber and minerals in Liaodong could be traded in Beiping. The silk tea in the south should also be delivered in Beiping... In this way, the materials from the north and the south are gathered, and the taxes received are quite a lot. It’s impressive. Besides, if people from Korea are to be used, do you think they can be delivered in Tieling?”
"Why is it in Tieling? Why are everything else in Beiping?"
Zhu Biao said helplessly: "Father, Tieling is to the north of Shanhaiguan Pass. After all, it's not within the Great Wall. It's safer to stay farther away for things like this."
Zhu Yuanzhang sneered, okay, I read that right, you are also honest on the outside, but you have a lot of tricks in your heart.
"Zhu Biao, you sent Zhu Di to Peiping back then, and left him with the seal of the Si... Is it just for today?" Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly reached out and nodded Zhu Biao's forehead, "You are very scheming, kid! I want to applaud you!"
Zhu Biao's expression changed, and he was finally speechless.
The three members of the old Zhu's family had a good discussion. Empress Ma gave some private money, Zhu Biao also won a lot of benefits for Zhu Di, and Lao Zhu took another sum from Zongzheng Temple...to collect 100 million yuan for Zhu Di.
When the news reached Beiping, Zhu Laosi curled his lips, "Not enough, not enough! Just a little support, enough for what!"
Li Jinglong, Hua Wei, including Huang Zicheng, all of them turned black, so much is too little?
"Your Highness, money is the next priority. Our wool spinning workshop can be exempted from tax for three to five years. We can sell tea exclusively to the grasslands, as well as wood, medicinal materials, and mines. These are the places with the most lucrative oil and water. Your Highness will give you all at once. You guys are so brotherly, I'm so envious." Li Jinglong groaned strangely.
Zhu Di pondered for a moment, does it count?
Why do I only remember that my eldest brother got married, I asked Lan Yu for help, and sent 360 five extremely huge oriental beads!
"Are you confused? I'm not talking about money! Money is a trivial matter! Do you know that?" Zhu Di said bluntly, "Huang Zicheng, you said that you want to hire famous people to give lectures everywhere. Let me ask you, who is the biggest famous person in Ming Dynasty?"
Huang Zicheng hesitated a little, and blurted out: "It's Zhang Xiang!"
"That's right! It's Zhang Xianggong!" Zhu Di said hilariously: "Now Zhang Xiang's lectures in Jiangxi are almost over. You said that we should find a way to invite Zhang Xiang to give lectures at Peking University...by the way, give Mr. Zhang an honorary mountain dean title, what do you think?"
A few people looked at each other and said yes, in terms of heart and mind, you, Zhu Di, are the best.
"Your Highness, I will contact the students and write a letter to Xiang Zhang together! How about you write a letter to His Majesty again, begging Xiang Xiang to go north?" Huang Zicheng said excitedly.
Zhu Di nodded, "That's it! I still don't believe it, please don't come to Mr. Zhang!"
Chapter 7 and Five: The Treasure of the Town School of Peking University
Huang Zicheng returned to his residence, immediately found some companions, and discussed with each other.
When these people heard that Mr. Zhang was going to be invited over, they were overjoyed and couldn't help but smile from ear to ear.
What is Zhang Xianggong's identity?
Not to mention the status in the officialdom, just in the academic world, it is also the existence of the top, standing on the top of the mountain, being revered as a sage in the world, and his master is alive.
There was even a theory of Zhang's theory early on.
But having said that, before that, Zhang's study is still a bit empty.For example, Zhang Ximeng’s division of history advocates the equalization of land, the unification of all peoples, the expulsion of Hulu, and the restoration of China... Although these contents are a step further than Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism and can be said to have something to say, they are still almost meaningless.
Just like the way of Confucius and Mencius, there is a huge gap in what Confucius and Mencius said, which gave Han Confucianism the opportunity to oust hundreds of schools and only respect Confucianism.When it developed to Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism, it almost emptied the way of Confucius and Mencius.
Confucius and Mencius are like the door gods of the two gates, sticking outside.
After the door was opened, the two masters could not control what was inside.
The same is true for Zhang Ximeng. If he only has those propositions, maybe after a few years, he will be replaced by new ones, or simply turn Zhang Xianggong into a symbol to make people forget Zhang Ximeng's propositions.
It's just that now, if you want to do this, the difficulty will be super doubled.
Zhang Ximeng gave lectures in Jimin School. In addition to elucidating the ethics of teachers, he also re-taught mathematics, sorted out history, talked about the gains and losses of the past dynasties, and the geography of mountains and rivers.
Zhang Ximeng has been traveling all over the years, from Yashan at the southernmost point all the way to Beiping.
He combines the customs of various places, the geography of mountains and rivers, and the historical anecdotes. His lectures are fascinating and colorful, and he is very popular.
But outside of this easy part of the course, something terrible came.
Zhang Ximeng talked about astronomy again, then physics and chemistry.
Then Zhang Ximeng proposed statistics for some social phenomena, advocating the use of numbers to describe the state of the country and society.
So far, arithmetic has completely become the foundation and key of Zhang's learning... If you want to study Zhang's learning, it is absolutely impossible if you don't learn arithmetic well.
And arithmetic is something that makes most students gnash their teeth.
So Zhang Ximeng is almost the teacher that the students like the most, but also the teacher they fear the most.
All in all, it took Zhang Ximeng about four or five months to reorganize, build new disciplines, and establish a relatively complete discipline system.
Since then, the building of Zhang's theory has laid a solid foundation.
In the past, Zhang's studies were all about what Zhang Ximeng advocated and advocated... But from now on, Zhang's studies have a completely different ability from the way of Confucius and Mencius, and Cheng Zhu's Neo-Confucianism.That's predictions!
That's right, Zhang's theory can predict the future.
