First Minister of Ming Dynasty

First Minister Section 488

Zhang Shuning said eagerly.

And Zhang Chengtian looked at the pile of books, there are more than 1000 books, does he have to read a hundred books a day?

Why is this scene so familiar?

Who did this kid learn from?

At this moment, Jiang Nan came in from the outside. She understood the situation, and suddenly said with a chuckle: "Change the way of review! It used to be to pick out the inappropriate ones, and let you take the rest... Now it becomes How about asking your father to review it and give you a copy if you pass it? When will you read it and send it to you?"

Zhang Shuning's face darkened instantly, he looked at his old lady stupidly, and felt a strong sinister intention from her smile!

There are bad people in this world!

Seeing it, Zhang Chengtian couldn't help but smile, "Okay, I won't read it either, you can take it and read it yourself. Don't take it for granted, so don't give it to others.

Zhang Chengtian reached out and touched his son's head, with a meaningful smile on his face...

Chapter 678 Zhu Yuanzhang's gift to the common people

"Don't indulge that kid too much. At his age, he likes to read those miscellaneous books. It's good to read a lot of books, but if you read some The West Chamber, the Palace of Eternal Life... I think you regret it if you become a playboy?"

Jiang Nan sent the child away, and angrily taught Zhang Ximeng a lesson. Her eyes were wide open, and she really looked like a tigress. The so-called mother is strong, must be the truth!

Zhang Ximeng calmly explained his son's idea of ​​selling flashcards.

"What do you think of the kid's idea?"

Jiang Nan nodded subconsciously, "It's not bad, I should be able to earn some pocket money!" She chuckled lightly and said, "I used to worry that he would only read books by rote, don't be a lump of elm, but now he looks pretty good, good!"

Zhang Ximeng smiled softly: "Since he has such a scheming mind, you want to let him watch The West Chamber? Isn't it a little bit unnecessary?"

Jiang Nan was stunned for a moment, she smacked for a moment, and it really was the truth.At the same time, I couldn't help sighing and shaking my head, "As a mother, I hope that my son will have a future, but I am also worried that he will be disobedient and go astray, right and wrong. After all, it is the husband who sees it more clearly."

Zhang Ximeng smiled, "I can't say anything more clear... What the child will become will require both of us to pay more attention. It also depends on his character."

Jiang Nan nodded, "I can still trust my son's character, but he went to Jimin Academy, so far away from home, I just didn't want to let His Majesty interfere casually, and I didn't want him to play with the dudes in Beijing. Now It seems that the people in Jimin Academy may not all be ordinary children!"

Zhang Ximeng laughed loudly, "Ma'am has finally reached the point. If my guess is correct, a new batch of talents is about to rise."

Jiang Nan was stunned. Is there any rule?

Can't you just pinch your fingers like a blind fortune teller and come up with a conclusion?

When did Zhang Xianggong change his career to become a magic stick?

Zhang Ximeng was smiling, obviously not talking nonsense... Some things do have patterns... For example, natural and man-made disasters at the end of the Yuan Dynasty all fell in the area between the Yellow River, Huai River, and Yangtze River.

That is, the entire Henan Jiangbei Province.

There is no need to mention people like Zhu Yuanzhang. Liu Futong, Zhang Shicheng, and even Chahan Timur and Li Siqi, who were in charge of suppressing the Red Scarves, are all from the same province.

In this land, within a generation, warriors come out together!

There are peerless generals and powerful commanders. All in all, powerful generals and strong soldiers emerge one after another, creating a world of great controversy.

Similar situations were not absent in other dynasties.

But for Daming, there are not only this group of powerful warriors, but also a large number of outstanding literati, who are brewing, Wuqu stars, Wenqu stars, one after another, this is a bit against the sky!

There is no doubt that the warriors were concentrated in Huaixi, the land in the north of the Yangtze River, while Wenquxing fell collectively to the south of the Yangtze River.

Among them, Jiangxi got most of the luck!

Jiangxi itself has great advantages, a developed economy, and a collection of humanities, so it goes without saying.

In the war at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Jiangxi suffered little damage, and its population advantage was very obvious.

After Zhu Yuanzhang occupied Jiangxi, he promoted enlightenment and established schools.

Zhang Ximeng put Jimin School in Jiangxi again... All kinds of advantages added up, and within a few years, the number of students in Jiangxi was definitely over one million.

There are so many people who read, and there is a tradition of being able to read.

It is self-evident that talents come forth in large numbers.

"Those children who are now in their teens and teens will fill the court and become the backbone of the Ming Dynasty in another two or three decades. It is unknown how many prime ministers and ministers will come out of Shuning's classmates in the future! For 30 years, we will look at Huaixi warriors, and in the next 20 years, we will look at Jiangxi literati!"

Zhang Ximeng said with a smile, he raised his head slightly and looked at Jiang Nan who had changed color.

That's right, Jiang Nan was really scared.

She agreed with her son to go to Jimin School, but she really didn't think too much about it, she was just afraid that those princes who were jumping up and down, and those nobles who did evil, would teach her son badly.

But when she heard it now, she was surprised to find that her husband was playing a big game of chess.

A very, very big game of chess!

Indeed, to this day, Jiang Nan finally felt the terror of her husband... this man is too calculating.

The game he set up was not the kind of conspiracy and trickery, but an upright, straight-forward, open and aboveboard conspiracy!

Any figure in the current dynasty, from Li Shanchang down, including those generals, who would not think of colluding with each other, forming a group, and controlling the court situation!

They only think that the honorable civil servants in Beijing, those who occupy high positions, are worthy of cooperation.

Absolutely no one could have imagined that the future of Daming, those who really decide the fate of the country, are still a group of elementary school students at this moment, even running around in crotch pants.

Zhang Ximeng asked his son to study in Jimin School, a seemingly random step, and when others reacted, most of the future talents in the world had already fallen into Zhang's family!

"Sister, you, you promised to give Shu Ning money to make him a literacy card, do you have such an abacus?" Jiang Nan really couldn't help but be surprised, her husband is simply a monster!

Zhang Ximeng quickly shook his head, "I'm not that calculating yet, and you have to understand that it's up to people. If Shuning is a bastard, no matter how much I arrange, it will be in vain. The so-called letting nature take its course is the truth. But if you insist on me If there is any calculation, I just want these smart people in Ming Dynasty to know the existence of business operations and how to make money and make a fortune, and not just be a fool who can only read books."

"Also, I hope they will pay attention to the existence of business in the future and know the value of business. If they want to get out of the intensive agricultural circle, countless talents are the biggest weapon in my hand!"

Zhang Ximeng said with a smile, with an unshakable confidence in his eyebrows.

Until now, Zhang Ximeng showed his hole card.

Why change Lao Zhu's thinking, and why develop industry?

Relying on the solid talent pool and the thoughts that were poured into them in advance.

No matter how powerful Zhu Yuanzhang is, it is only the sharpness of the knife in his hand. He can kill people, but Zhang Ximeng's ability is not just to kill people's hearts.

And there is a deeper layer of things in it. Facing a hero like Zhu Yuanzhang, if one day, Lao Zhu becomes confused, old, and unable to survive, he wants to cut off the threat for future generations, and Zhang Ximeng Also take away... Why does Zhang Xianggong deal with Zhu Yuanzhang, what cards does he have in his hand?

This is where Zhang Ximeng's confidence lies.

When Liu Bang was dying, he wanted to take Fan Kuai away.

But Chen Ping resolutely opposed it and didn't implement it at all... The reason is very simple, you Liu Bang is about to die, we kill Fan Kuai, when the time comes, Empress Lu will be furious, why don't we kill the nine clans!

An old emperor, getting old, is dying visibly to the naked eye.When meeting with guests, I couldn't control it, and pulled it off at every turn.

The people below will definitely have different thoughts and will not be so obedient.

The so-called humble public weapon, the key is not the humble, but the public weapon!

Of course, Zhang Ximeng didn't do this with ulterior motives, and he insisted on plotting against Lao Zhu.In fact, he prefers to grow old quietly with Lao Zhu, and then have a good time drinking, teasing grandchildren, and singing a song of sunset red... The set of things that Zhang Ximeng wants to leave behind is actually a preparation for the future.

Lay the foundation and lay down the rules for the centuries-old foundation of this country.

From this point of view, Zhu Yuanzhang's decree of this education law is really a great merit, it is comparable to him overthrowing Dayuan and rebuilding China!

Education falls on the law, and personnel training is also determined.

And these talents are the backbone of this country, they will fill various industries and control the lifeline.And once they reach a consensus and form a generally consistent concept... even if they are as strong as Zhu Yuanzhang, they can only do nothing.

Lao Zhu cannot be changed, which means that the emperors of later generations will not be able to be shaken even more.

The ancestral rules are not empty words on paper!

Zhang Ximeng is indeed laying out the layout, he is laying out a dignified and justifiable game!

Two days later, Li Shanchang invited Zhang Ximeng to Zhongshu Province. The officials of the two provinces, including other important ministers, held a meeting in Zhongshu Province to discuss issues of education laws.

"Li Xiang, my lords, I believe that this decree is the foundation of the Ming Dynasty... From then on, extensive and universal compulsory education should be established. That is to say, the state should provide education to all school-age children without tuition fees. And All the parents, the elders of the students, must not obstruct the students from receiving education. Not allowing children to go to school is an illegal act! It needs to be corrected, and if it is serious, it can be arrested and brought to the yamen for questioning!"

Zhang Ximeng spoke slowly, and among the gentlemen present, some people subconsciously owed their asses.

What do you mean?

Could it be that parents are breaking the law by not allowing their children to study?

Raising a child, giving him food and clothes, and then he will be locked up if he doesn't go to school, isn't that too much?

At this moment, the old man Zhu Sheng suddenly spoke up. As the most experienced politician, Li Shanchang and Zhang Ximeng respected him three points, let alone the others.

"The old man remembers that when Zhang Xiang was persuading his superiors to let women go to school, Zhang Xiang said at that time that both men and women must work and produce. It is men and women who work together to enrich society and create wealth. Not allowing women to go to school will lose money. What matters is this country. An ordinary person, of course, can’t do things that damage the country, so women can’t be prevented from enrolling in school!”

Zhu Sheng looked at the crowd, "You guys think Zhang Xiang's judgment at that time is fair?"

Everyone hesitated for a while, Wang Guangyang and others hurriedly bowed and said: "It's really fair, Zhang Xiang's opinion, I'm waiting!"

Zhu Sheng said with a smile: "Very well, since that's the case, I dare to say a few more words today... A person not only has to work, not only to create wealth. Life in the world itself is the enrichment of this country. Everyone has something to offer. Irreplaceable value, everyone should be educated, improve their realm, and pursue a better future."

Zhu Sheng smiled and said, "Master Zhang, what do you think of what the old man said?"

Zhang Ximeng nodded, "Mr. Fenglin made it clear! This education decree is the most important decree in the ten years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and it is also a blessing from His Majesty to the common people all over the world!"

"My emperor's holy virtue!"

Chapter 679 Zhang Shuning's Talents

Zhang Shuning stayed in Yingtian for eighteen days, and this kid couldn't sit still anymore.

He asked for a month's leave, and more than two-thirds of it had passed. Originally, Zhu Yuanzhang planned to take the opportunity of canonizing the son of King Lu to send the princess out by the way.

With the prestige of the grand ceremony, Zhang Ximeng was forced to bow his head.

In the end, not to mention Zhang Ximeng, even Zhang Shuning couldn't play. Lao Zhu was very depressed, so he had to adjust his education and introduce the compulsory education law.

If the ten-year celebration mentioned above is just a pleasure for the emperor and his officials, then with the implementation of the Education Law, the entire rule of Hongwu has reached a new level.

Starting from Yingtian, newspapers from all over the country, 360 lines, and all the people are discussing it.

Some people were surprised, some people admired, no one dared to ignore this decree from the imperial court to the local government.

To put it bluntly, this is another major event that affects everyone after Juntian.

In the streets and alleys, in the fields, for a while, the four words of compulsory education are well known.

Lao Zhu also put the core of the ten-year celebration on the New Deal...We can't just have fun with ourselves, we have to have fun with the people.

What is Fun with the People?

It is to benefit the common people. We must use the juncture of ten years to introduce more new policies to benefit the common people.

As long as the things that have been brewing in the past few years are beneficial to the country and the people, they must all be brought out!

The atmosphere of the court suddenly changed.

The so-called canonization of the son is definitely not a big deal... Even if you marry the prince and princess, there will be no movement.

Even those princesses need to go to school, study hard, and increase their skills. Why are they talking about marriage so early?

Cheesy!

In this atmosphere, Zhang Shuning would naturally be able to return to Jimin School as soon as possible.

He viciously warned Zhang Chengtian that he must run every day and lose weight quickly.After entering Mengxue, he must be in the top three... All in all, as my younger brother, he must be better than others and not lose my face.

Of course, my elder brother will also set an example for you, at least I will also be admitted to the top three in my age!

for sure!

When Zhang Shuning said this, his heart was pounding,

Because in the same grade, there is a freak Xu Guan, this guy is like a Mount Tai, it is difficult to surpass.Except for him, there is only one quota.

For Zhang Shuning, he had to be promoted to at least four ranks.

Not to mention the considerable pressure, he also asked for a month off.

From now on, every day is precious.

Zhang Shuning said goodbye to his parents, and then returned to his residence in Xingzi County with a dozen boxes of books.

He arrived in Xingzi County four days early, and when he came in, he found that his grandfather was playing go with that girl in the yard, and his grandmother was washing vegetables and preparing to cook. When they saw Zhang Shuning coming, they were all startled.

"You, how can you come back early?"

The old couple almost slipped their tongues.
