First Minister of Ming Dynasty

I absolutely dare not have the thought of taking the school as my own, so I ask your majesty to learn from it.

After receiving this joint memorial, Zhu Yuanzhang felt a little better.

Hand it directly to Li Shanchang, and let him send it to the various ministries.

The meaning of the emperor is already very clear. Now that things are up to now, if you dare to fight against the emperor, you are afraid that you will become an adult leather handicraft.

"Zhang Xiang, it's really not easy to do something." Liu Bowen sighed very much, and said: "Those people talk nonsense and slander Zhang Xiang. I think they should be severely punished. If they are caught, they will be severely punished. Only then can it be shown to the world.”

Zhang Ximeng did not rush to nod, but said with a smile: "Mr. Bowen, do you think this is the way it is?"

Liu Bowen was stunned, "Master Zhang, the Ministry of Rites still dare to stop the matter now?"

Zhang Ximeng chuckled and said, "Mr. Bowen, let me ask you, where does the resistance to this matter come from?"

Liu Bowen thought about it for a while, and then said: "I thought it was the Jimin School, the officials of the Ministry of Rites, and when I got older, there were also some officials from the south. They were unwilling to share the benefit of Shandong, and they were unwilling to lose the benefits they got. It is because of their interests. ... This is also what Zhang Xiang taught me."

Zhang Ximeng laughed loudly, "I've said it before, but I don't think it's that simple this time, or maybe we made things complicated."

Liu Bowen frowned. Could it be that North-South differences, academic disputes, profit distribution...isn't that fundamental?Zhang Xiang, what is more important in this world?

"Mr. Bowen, let me ask you, tell me, who does the Ministry of Rites work for?"

Liu Bowen frowned, "The Ministry of Rites is to promote enlightenment for the emperor, for the sake of scholars all over the world!"

Zhang Ximeng laughed and said, "Originally, the Ministry of Rites was only in charge of court ceremonies, and it belonged to the noble yamen among the six ministries. But since it shouldered the mission of establishing a school, the power of resources held by the Ministry of Rites can be compared with that of the Ministry of Officials...you say the Ministry of Rites Who do you listen to? Of course, those mountain chiefs, famous teachers, teachers from all over the country, instructions from the county, and the Ministry of Rites to do things for them, isn't it very clear?"

Liu Bowen was stunned for a long time, and his brain was a little bit short.

The Ministry of Rites doesn't listen to the emperor, it doesn't care about the students below, it just cares about the head of the school, and the inspectors... This, no matter how it sounds, it's a bit confusing!

"Mr. Bowen, in the past few years you have been outside, you still haven't understood the secrets of the officialdom. With your current situation, if you are in charge of the Yushitai and the court divides the constitution, you can punish rape and evil, and do a good job, but it is hard to guarantee that It will hurt itself."

"I don't care!" Liu Bowen blurted out.

Zhang Ximeng waved his hand, "Only by protecting yourself can we destroy the enemy. In my capacity, I will inevitably be splashed with dirty water, so Mr. Bowen should not be arrogant. Just wait and see, there will be results soon."

Liu Bowen was secretly shocked when he heard Zhang Ximeng's words.

In other words, some people dragged Zhang Ximeng into the water, saying that he was partial to his old family, and there was a purpose?

If so, these people are too hateful.

Liu Bowen was skeptical and could only wait and see.

Sure enough, just when Zhu Yuanzhang's patience was about to run out, the Ministry of Rites finally came up with a set of plans.

In order to prepare for the establishment of Fudan School, [-] school inspectors and school teachers were dispatched from Yingtian and other places to go north together, and [-] yuan was allocated for the establishment of prefectural schools in various places in Shandong.

Seeing this result, Zhu Yuanzhang laughed angrily, and this time he called Li Shanchang over.

"Mr. Li, we will give you a knife now, and you will peel off his skin!"

Li Shanchang's face also darkened, and the corners of his mouth twitched with anger, "Qian Yongren, what are you thinking? To build a first-class school in the world, you only need so many people and so little money, you, you send a beggar?"

This sentence just aroused Zhu Yuanzhang's anger, he grabbed something casually, and slammed it at Qian Yongren.

"That's right, we are just beggars, and your Ministry of Rituals just teases us like this!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's anger was already uncontrollable, Qian Yongren only felt that his neck was chilly, and his head was probably going to be broken in the next second. He couldn't bear it anymore, so he could only kneel on the ground and cry bitterly.

"Your Majesty, Li Xiang, it's not that the Ministry of Rites disobeyed the emperor's order, it's really, it's that Shandong is too miserable, they don't want to go!"

Chapter 512 The Emperor's Eyes and Eyes

Yingtian's life is comfortable, let's not talk about anything else, the head, secretary, doctor of each school... probably the principal, vice-principal, professor... All salaries are comparable to those of imperial officials.

For example, the Shanzhang of Shujimin Academy received his salary according to the Shangshu.

There is no way, who made our Daming's foundation too weak, and we urgently need to promote enlightenment, so Lao Zhu still treats talents quite politely.

But Zhu Yuanzhang never expected that there would be so many people, shameless.

When you received your salary, you were all overjoyed, using you, one by one timidly, but also f*cking wagging your lips and tongue, adding to our chaos.

If you don't kill a few, you don't know how powerful we are!

"Qian Yongren, you go now and find us [-] scholars who are willing to go to Shandong. Whoever is unwilling to go, let him come to see us, let's have a good chat with him!"

Zhu Yuanzhang rubbed his fist, looking eager to try, Li Shanchang could see that this man was about to kill again.This time, Li Shanchang didn't intend to stop him at all. On the contrary, he was afraid that Zhu Yuanzhang would kill too few. These bastards are always instigating coercion, wishing that the old man would fight with the superior.

Don't you still want to see the old man hit the stone with a pebble and kill himself?

Sorry, I don't!

"Superior. Running a school not only requires people, but also money. I think that a special fund of 100 million yuan should be allocated. In addition, all counties in Shandong must establish government schools to recruit children to study."

Zhu Yuanzhang was not used to it, but Li Shanchang took the initiative to overweight.

"Mr. Li, if you do this, you may need more teachers, right?"

Li Shanchang quickly said: "The superior, the minister is thinking, let the soldiers go to the village to lead the people. Can you choose some from the army, with good knowledge and character, let them go to the county to teach, teach children to read and write ah!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Zhu Yuanzhang was very interested, not bad!Can try.

Qian Yongren almost fainted and nearly died.

Finished!

It's completely gentle.

If you follow this line of thinking, how can the doctorates in various schools still have the slightest status at all?

Moreover, there is only so much budget for building schools every year, and Li Xiang is not unaware that he spends 100 guan at a time, and builds government schools everywhere... You said it happily, what should we do?

This year's school budgets in several southern provinces will definitely be cut down, and it's hard to say what will happen in the future, but Shandong's official schools will soon divide up the number of places in the imperial examination.

When these people enter the officialdom, they will inevitably fight for a share of the budget.

Once this example is opened, the consequences will be unimaginable, and the pattern formed in the past ten years will be completely broken.

It's just killing me!

In normal times, Qian Yongren would argue with Lao Zhu no matter what.

But today he really didn't dare to say a word.

Based on Lao Zhu's aura today, he could be made into a human leather pillow at any time.

Although the Ministry of Rites usually takes care of the minds of the people below, but it really annoyed the emperor and forced the emperor of Ming to kill him, so he didn't have that much courage.

Qian Yongren's ashes slipped away, and Li Shanchang still wanted to fight the fire, but then he thought, he still has to be a man in the court, so don't make it too much.What's more, he was still a little uncertain about what Zhu Yuanzhang was thinking.

Forget it, let's go back temporarily, observe carefully, and then talk.

With these two people leaving, there was finally no blood splashing on the palace.

But in the ruling and opposition parties, no one who knew about this incident was not scared and shuddered.

The conflict between monarch and minister is so terrible, if Zhu Yuanzhang really ordered that all those who do not want to go to Shandong should be made into human leather pillows, then Daming would have many more high-end custom leather pillows in an instant.

Where is the problem?

Li Shanchang!

That's right, the problem lies with Li Shanchang, it's all because of his incompetence!

Failure to fulfill the duties of the prime minister is a serious dereliction of duty and has failed the expectations of the government and the public.

If Zhang Xiang was here, it probably wouldn't be like this, Zhang Xianggong, we miss you!

Perhaps Li Shanchang never imagined in his dreams that he was the one who was most injured in the conflict between the monarch and his ministers!But if you think about it in another way, the prime minister is caught between the emperor and the officials. If something happens, it would be strange if he doesn't get scolded!

"Chongba, actually there's nothing to be angry about this kind of thing. Hearing what you said, I remembered that when the salary was determined, wasn't there a serious quarrel?"

Empress Ma persuaded in a low voice, at this juncture, the one who can make Lao Zhu calm and talk is this one.

Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it hard, and he was convinced, "My sister is right. At first they wanted to get more salary, but they didn't want to be like the common people. Now they don't want to go to Shandong to suffer. It's all the fault of the scholar bureaucrats! Why can't they change it?" ?”

Empress Ma smiled bitterly helplessly, how long has the Ming Dynasty been established?

Even if it's only ten years from the start of the army, it's simply unrealistic to change everyone's thinking and habits with this little time.

"Chongba, actually, you might as well think about it. Mr. Zhang has worked hard these years to gather a group of scholars with lofty aspirations. But the time is too short, and there are too few people available. To start schools in various places, we have to use old teachers Confucian students. Let them study new learning, pass the assessment, and then they can teach and educate people. But you ask yourself, how many people are sincere? They only think about fame and status. How can such a group of people be sincere for Daming? "

Zhu Yuanzhang was furious, because of this, this group of people should be killed!

"Chongba, I know you don't like to hear it. But I also want to tell you that you are the emperor and you want to succeed. Now that you want to run a school in Shandong, you need scholars, and you can't immediately create so many useful people. There is no way to use some old Confucianism. You killed them all, and the master asked us for people, so do you want me to be a doctor of teaching?"

"That's not bad, we must be better than those beasts! Let them control the enlightenment, we really don't know how they will arrange it?" Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily, of course, this is just his angry words.

Again, Daming is not a three-body civilization that suddenly fell from the sky.

In Daming's body, there are quite a few old elements.

Taking the most obvious officials as an example, except for Zhang Ximeng, most of them are officials. They all came from the Yuan Dynasty, received education in the Yuan Dynasty, and even spent many years in the Yuan Dynasty official circles.

Except for some people such as Song Lian and Liu Bowen, who have completely bid farewell to the past, most of the civil servants are just like that.

However, the selection of talents and the promotion of officials in the Ming Dynasty were mainly to change the old scholars... let them reform themselves, pass the new imperial examinations, and then enter the officialdom to work.Or hire a teaching doctor to play a role in the school.

Undoubtedly, this group of people said goodbye to Da Yuan and passed the exam, but no one can say what they really think.

What will Dark Ruo do, who knows?

The more Lao Zhu thought about it, the more irritable he became, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, "Sister, you know people, you know their faces, but you don't know your heart. So we thought that as long as we wait a few years, new scholars will be cultivated, enter the officialdom, and take on heavy responsibilities, and they will be of one mind with us." , it will be easier to run the country in the future. But now that I think about it, it’s all these things that teach students, and a good scripture has been misrepresented. We, we can guarantee that what they said is what Mr. Zhang meant? So what? Guaranteed, this group of people will be of one mind with Daming, and if things go on like this, there will be endless disasters!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was really anxious because he realized a blind spot.

He longed for the beginning of one yuan, the renewal of everything, and the revolution of the world, which is completely different.

But who would have expected that such a big hidden danger would exist!

"Sister, tell me, if we did these things, will it be overthrown? By the way, and the knowledge that Mr. Zhang painstakingly created, will it be tampered with?"

Empress Ma smiled bitterly helplessly, "Chongba, although I am a woman, but I also heard from Zhang Xiang that the things of Confucius have been tampered with a lot, and some things are even beyond recognition."

"Then, aren't we doing useless work?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that he sat down on the ground. Zhu Yuanzhang, who had always been a bully, was also confused and helpless.He rushed forward desperately, and Mr. Zhang also racked his brains to write articles, promote new learning, and cultivate talents.

But they are just two people, looking around, how many can be trusted?

Faced with moths everywhere and ants everywhere, Zhu Yuanzhang really felt powerless.

"Sister, we are panicking now, we, we are really afraid that one day, the Ming Dynasty will forget our founding intentions, and become like Zhao Song, with constant internal strife, foreign invaders, common people living in dire straits, and officials greedy and shameless... ...and if that's the case, what should we do?"

Zhu Yuanzhang jumped up suddenly, "Decree, tell Mr. Zhang to return to Beijing as soon as possible, we have something important to tell him!"

Old Zhu yelled loudly, but Empress Ma stood up slowly, reached out and grabbed Zhu Yuanzhang's wrist.

"Chongba, things haven't reached that point yet! There are many shameless people in the world. Unreliable scholars are everywhere... But don't forget, there are sincere gentlemen like Mr. Zhang, and Xueshi Liu, Song Xueshi and others, you are not alone, you still have me!"

Empress Ma's soft voice comforted Lao Zhu's heart, and gradually, Zhu Yuanzhang calmed down.Things are really not that bad, and it can even be said that it is easier to correct the symptoms if they are discovered earlier.

It's just how to treat regional prejudice, family disputes, and the more realistic interest competition behind it?

"Chongba, Jiang Nan handed me a letter."

"Her? What is she writing to you for?"

Empress Ma didn't like to hear it anymore, "She helped me take care of the property back then, and she was considered my confidant, so it's not enough to write to me? What's more, she can say that Mr. Zhang has already thought of a way, but this way is a little bit lossy. "

"What way? Tell us quickly, let us listen! The more damaged the better!" Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't wait.

"Actually, it's also simple. Just follow the example of the military supervisor and set up a school supervisor."

"School supervisor?" Old Zhu murmured, "Who should I let?"

"Naturally, whoever you trust will go!" Empress Ma said with a smile.

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, he didn't trust many people, and he had to manage so many schools, and there were so many people... "We, we know!"

Zhu Yuanzhang slapped his thigh suddenly, and suddenly realized, "Just like managing a village, all you need to do is to select a group of loyal and brave soldiers. Pull it to our side!"

Chapter 513

"Butang, how can we send the big guy to Shandong? This is the place where the emperor is at the foot. The big guy has a house arranged by the court, a carriage for entering and leaving, and some additional price subsidies every month. Not to mention so many schools, You can choose at will, there are also medical clinics, all kinds of overseas treasures, what can you find in Shandong? That Mao Gui is a thief, and he just fought a war, there are troublemakers everywhere, and robbers are everywhere."

Cui Liang, a doctor in the Ministry of Rites, desperately complained to Qian Yongren, "I have heard that in Shandong, everyone came down from Mount Liang. They are all bandits, so it's not easy to mess with them!"

Although the Outlaws of the Marsh did not finally become a book, many plots have been widely circulated, even on the stage.When Cui Liang thought of those Liangshan heroes who killed people without blinking an eye, his hairs stood on end and he shuddered.

"How about a living bandit? Even if you are really a hero in Liangshan, it should be an eye-opener!" Qian Yongren didn't want to hear it any more, "Now send an order to tell all of them to follow me to meet the king. Tell them one more thing, Anyone who dares to act foolishly in front of His Majesty will not only lose his head, but it is hard to say whether this layer of skin on his body can be kept!"
