First Minister of Ming Dynasty

First Minister Section 463

But just after this class ended, the Ministry of Rites spread the news that the Ryukyu Zhongshan Kingdom admired the elegance of the Ming Dynasty and voluntarily surrendered to it, requesting the Shang Kingdom to send officials and people to educate the barbarians.

Zhu Yuanzhang attaches great importance to the request of this small country... Ryukyu has a heart for the country, and his loyalty is commendable.Admiring Huaxia, although he is a barbarian, he is no different from the people of Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, the governor was sent to lead the scribes, carry the manuscripts, and cross the sea to educate. Since then, Ryukyu has become the country of China!

After this decree, although Ryukyu is not big, it has come out on top.

Moreover, Koryo had previously encouraged the matter of the country without conquest. Unfortunately, in Zhang Ximeng's case, there is no country without conquest, only the country of China that voluntarily surrendered, and the country of barbarians who are not so obedient and need to be taught a lesson!

Chapter 644 Passed the Exam

Zhang Ximeng's lectures on martial arts, the overall response was mediocre, expecting Huayun and the others to understand what he meant, it was really embarrassing for their IQ.

As for Zhu Yuanzhang's decree, he must send personnel to Ryukyu to spread civilization and accept the attachment.Surprisingly, there was not much movement, a tiny place, a small place not as good as Shangyuan County, and people not as good as Gulou District, it really can't arouse people's interest.Soon this decree was submerged in numerous decrees, and it can be said that there was no wave.

The two most powerful people in the Ming Dynasty are a little depressed at the moment.

Zhang Ximeng was a little self-doubting. Is it because I have a problem with my expressive ability, or maybe I didn't speak clearly? Why is no one applauding?

Discussion, there must be enthusiasm!

He regarded this lecture and sermon as very important.

Because he divided history with three generations, from Qin and Han to Song and Yuan, and proposed the third rise of China... This set of ideas has received considerable response.Song Lian, Liu Ji, and many other people with lofty ideals responded enthusiastically, regarded them as models, and even guided the founding of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhang Ximeng was also very satisfied, and this time he divided the inside and outside after dividing the history.

Layer by layer, it is deduced outward, and many things are attributed to this Chinese system.

The cultivation of land in the core area, the issue of the clan of the vassal fiefdom, the issue of the vassal state in the governor’s district, the issue of foreign trade, how to deal with foreign affairs relations...Anyway, as long as you can think of things, you can put them into this system and put them in it. Find a suitable location.

How big a pattern is this, how big a heart is it?

Why don't you understand?

Do you want me to go off in person and explain everything clearly?

In that case, it would really be demeaning!

Zhang Ximeng was aggrieved, and Zhu Yuanzhang was not very comfortable.He ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, and it will be the eighth year. Although countries continue to pay tribute to the court, Zhu Yuanzhang has not accepted the submission of overseas vassal states.Ryukyu is the first.

Zhu Yuanzhang has always remembered the two identities mentioned by Zhang Ximeng. He is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty and the lord of China. There is almost no objection to these two identities in the emperor of the Han and Tang Dynasties.

After all, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty was Tian Khan, but in the Song Dynasty, the emperor of the Zhao family was really just an emperor. In the Northern Song Dynasty, he could barely compete with the Liao Kingdom for orthodoxy. What about the king's father fighting for orthodoxy?

If it is not orthodox, it is not the lord of the world, so how can there be the theory of great unification?

What is Grand Unification?

In Zhu Yuanzhang's case, the great unification means first of all there is an extremely powerful Ming Dynasty, which is powerful enough to rule the world and the barbarians submit.Secondly, besides Ming Dynasty, there are a bunch of countries that surrendered to Ming Dynasty and accepted the order of China.

In short, not only are you strong, but you also need a large number of obedient younger brothers to form a civilized order. This is called great unity, and it is called the master of the world!

Lao Zhu has been working hard in this direction. Although Goryeo intended to join him before, I'm sorry, but Zhu Yuanzhang did not accept it.The reason is simple, that is, Lao Zhu feels that Goryeo is not "Chinese" enough, there are too many small calculations, and loyalty needs to be strengthened.

And Ryukyu is the country of China that Zhu Yuanzhang carefully selected and finally agreed to.

It is the first country to be formally incorporated into the Huaxia system.

There is not much discussion on such a big matter?

What is the Ministry of Education doing?

Is Li Shanchang's mind blocked?

There is also the Ministry of Rites, these things are really scrapped from beginning to end, this year must cut the budget of the Ministry of Rites, let them know the pain!

Throughout the Ming Dynasty, the two men standing on the top of the tower were very depressed. Could it be that we are too far ahead and others can't keep up?

At this time, the National History Museum sent out an article with only four words in the title: Neiwai Huayi!

After reading this article, both Zhang Ximeng and Zhu Yuanzhang felt a sense of comfort, they are really bosom friends!

Looking at the signature again, it was Qian Tang!

What did Qian Tang say?

He echoed Zhang Ximeng's division method earlier, and thought that Zhang Xiang's arrangement was very reasonable... Then he mentioned Huayi. In this area, Qian Tangke wrote a lot of ink. Especially taking Zhao Song out again, there is really no way, whoever made the old Zhao family too stretched his hips, had to argue vigorously, just to put rouge and powder on himself.

The debate between Hua and Barbarians was almost the same concept as orthodox in the Song Dynasty. The Cheng brothers and Zhu Xi have discussed it. If we don’t talk about this topic, they hardly deserve to be called great Confucians.

But Qian Tang scoffed at these debates!

And he also said that when Yuan Ting entered the Central Plains, it almost turned Xia into barbarians.

Fortunately, the Red Scarf Army rose up and expelled the Hulu, the Ming Dynasty established the country, and the sun and the moon shine again.

This is the rejuvenation of Huaxia.

At this juncture, what should we do?

Do we still want to talk about the debate between Hua and Barbarians?

No, what we need is to spread Huaxia and reduce it to Xia... We need to go outside, and continuously increase the level of Huaxia in various places according to the levels delineated by Zhang Xiang!

In a word, we have established the Great Ming Dynasty, and we will establish a more grand Chinese order next!

As soon as Qian Tang's article came out, it finally made a perfect comment for Zhang Ximeng and Zhu Yuanzhang's actions.

I have to say that although this guy has the background of old Confucianism, he learned really fast and changed completely.It is worthy of being an ace as a questioner, and it is indeed superior.

Zhu Yuanzhang was so overjoyed that he directly decreed to give Qian Tang a set of flying fish suits.

When the decree was sent to the National History Museum, the rest of the history editors were dumbfounded.

We have been working hard here, compiling the history of the Song Dynasty until the sky is dark and the sky is dark. There is no reward yet, but it turned out to be a good thing. Your flattering article actually got you a set of flying fish suits.

Qian Tang, you are not kind!

What about your literati style?

"My colleagues, why do you look at me like this? Isn't that why we edit history and annotate the changes of thousands of years! Do you still want to follow the way of Confucius and Mencius instead of the way of China?"

Qian Tang's question stopped many people.

Literati, there is always a little bit of arrogance, and always like to take meanness as profound.

It's harder to get them to say something nice than to kill them!

But until now, there is nothing to say, so stop holding it!

Finally, the National History Museum started to move. With them taking the lead, the Imperial Academy, the Imperial College, and even the Ministry of Rites, Zhan Shifu, and all the moving yamen were moved.

Various articles emerge in endlessly.

Expounding the way of China, encouraging foreign development, advocating the enlightenment of barbarians, and strengthening China... all kinds of discussions, like mushrooms after a spring rain, all came out.

It's a pity that these people are destined not to be able to get flying fish clothes, and Lao Zhu doesn't have so many clothes to give them.

Zhu Yuanzhang's main energy is still on martial arts. He has devoted so much effort and placed high hopes on this trip to the sea to manage Ryukyu. He is only allowed to succeed and not to fail!

To be successful, this responsible person is very important, it can be said to be the top priority.

Zhang Ximeng gave lectures several times, and Zhu Yuanzhang also came over in person.

Their frequent appearances are enough to show the importance of this matter... Hua Yun, Wu Zhen, Wu Liang, Li Xincai, Chen Huan, Xie Cheng, almost all the nobles felt the huge pressure.

All fools know that this matter is important. If anyone can get the governorship of the Ryukyu, it will definitely turn salty fish over.

What else can I do?

Let's do it!

The big guys all crawled out of the mountain of corpses and the sea of ​​blood. When it's time to be ruthless, who is worse than whom!

As a result, it can be seen that these people get up early and go to bed late, study hard with books all day long, write and calculate, and don't stop for a moment.

On everyone's desk, there is thick straw paper, how many pieces of ink have been written, how many brushes have become bare... Hua Yun swears to God, in the past few months, he has written all the words in ten lifetimes.

Not only that, his stomach also deflated at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his loose skin slumped down, making it look like a sharpie...but he didn't care about it anymore.

The exam is about to take place, so many people are competing for a place, to be honest, he really has no confidence.

In order to be a good governor, one must have basic writing skills, a little understanding of poetry and songs, and also be able to write official documents... This is a bit similar to the requirements in the army back then, just put in a little effort.

Then there are subjects such as arithmetic, astronomy, calendar, agriculture, etc., which are also basic knowledge, and it is still not difficult.

Then there are some skills of governing the country, laws and regulations, military affairs, conquests, evaluation of officials, organization of imperial examinations... Hua Yun feels that she can barely handle it.

Finally, there is Zhang Ximeng's special lecture on economics... That's right, Zhang Ximeng brought out this knowledge, but he didn't use the term economics, but talked about the way of business.

How to develop industries, how to organize trade, how to make profits, how to continue to invest, so that money can increase in value.

Obviously, this is the really key stuff.

However, Hua Yun's level in this area was far inferior to that of the Wu family brothers. The exam was approaching, and he racked his brains, but there was no good solution.

She wanted to find Lan Yu, but Lan Yu ignored him and fumbled around, so Hua Yun had no choice but to take the exam with the intention of going to the grave.

After one exam, as expected, Hua Yun fell behind Wu Zhen and Wu Liang. In fact, he only got No.5 in the exam.

Farewell, my viceroy!

Farewell, my million tax dollars!

Just when Hua Yun really wanted to cry, he suddenly got the news that Zhang Xiang and His Majesty called the top five to attend the final interview, and Zhang Xiang would write the questions himself. This was the last chance.

Hua Yun quickly cheered up. The Wu brothers, Li Xincai, and another general, plus Hua Yun, stood in front of Zhang Ximeng together.

"Everyone, don't be nervous, it's not an exam... I just thought of a situation. You are going to Ryukyu in a big way. There are so many people. Ryukyu Elementary School, if you go there, if there is a shortage of local food, cloth and many supplies, what should you do? "

The five people looked at each other. This is a supply and demand problem that often arises in the way of business.

Wu Zhen said first: "Sir, you can transport grain from Daming!"

Wu Liang was dissatisfied and said: "I think we can buy it from the Japanese country and others! If they don't agree, they will send troops to crusade against the barbarians!"

The two brothers quickly started fighting. Li Xincai thought about it, but there seemed to be no other way.

"Master Zhang, Shangguo is kind. It seems that we should bring food to the local farm. After a year or so, we may be able to be self-sufficient."

Having said that, Hua Yun frowned, and his mind kept turning. He felt that there was some truth, but it was not what he thought...

"Mr. Zhang... I, I thought that the price could be increased tenfold, a hundredfold. The higher the price, the less demand from the locals, and it would be enough for the mission."

After Hua Yun finished speaking, she suddenly fell into a deathly tranquility.

Zhang Ximeng didn't say anything, and turned to see Zhu Yuanzhang. After a while, Lao Zhu and Zhang Ximeng came out together.Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes swept over several people one by one, and finally fell on Hua Yun's head.

"The first governor of Ryukyu is you!"

Hua Yun was trembling all over, knelt down and kowtowed, tears streaming down her face, "Minister, I kowtow to thank God!"

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't say anything else, but just looked at the other people, "Whoever leaks the matter of the exam just now, will immediately cancel the qualification to be elected as the overseas governor!"

The Wu family brothers grinned, full of bitterness, and nodded in agreement, as if drinking a bucket of coptis water. What is this test for?

Chapter 645 The prince is strong

The spring wind turns into rain, deep in the river and sky, the clouds and mist are churning, and in an instant, the drizzle is filled, like mist and smoke.Looking around, the land in the south of the Yangtze River, under the nourishment of rain, is full of new greenery, insects and frogs, and everything is abundant.

This is a rare and good time, Ying Tian Wuxue is going through the final graduation exam... The teenagers are galloping like a group of happy dragons.

Holding the longbow in his hand, Zhu Di shot an arrow, like a shooting star, hitting the bull's-eye.

Then followed by two arrows, all like this.

Even the most demanding Ping An had to slap her hands.

His Royal Highness Yan Wang, although he is the youngest, performed the best and fully met the graduation requirements, so he had to be issued a graduation certificate.

"Congratulations Zhu Di, you can graduate."

With a smug smile on his face, Zhu Di took the graduation certificate from Ping An, and couldn't help shaking his fists fiercely.

The boring martial arts time is finally over.

The king was finally able to flex his muscles.

Zhu Di excitedly rode on his horse and went straight to Mr. Zhang's mansion. He came to look for Zhang Shuning, but unfortunately, Zhu Di turned around and found no trace of Zhang Shuning. Where did this little guy go?

I still want to ask him to go to Peking to play!

"His Royal Highness, don't worry about it. I'll send Shuning to Jimin Primary School." Zhang Ximeng said with a smile.
