First Minister of Ming Dynasty

Agronomy, medicine, engineering, commerce...these little ways have entered the school in a grand manner, and have become the main content of the school.

Sven sweeps the floor, what dignity does a scholar have?

Let us come to Shandong to suffer, and send a bunch of warriors to ride on our heads.

Don't despise shame, don't be shameless, we bear it.

But today, even the curriculum is so unfair to us.

Readers, when will you stand up?

After untold hardships, a group of literati who rushed to Shandong felt as if they were mourning.

What about Jingyi?

What about the schools of thought?

What about poetry and songs?

We only understand the subtle words of the saints, and it is really difficult for us to teach these things.

No, no!

"Trash, it's all trash! Today, if you still dare to cheat, you should be killed!" Liu Bowen was murderous, and he really wanted to do it.

It's just that amidst the hustle and bustle, some people's insights make people's eyes shine.

Needless to say, this is Qian Yongren.

He believes that many disciplines do not exist. For example, in business, Guanzi has many management methods, and Lu's Spring and Autumn Period also has them. Confucius said that benevolent people love things, and Lao Tzu said that rare goods are not expensive.

In the past dynasties, Changping warehouses were set up to adjust grain prices. In the Song Dynasty, there was a system of buying and selling, in order to facilitate the collection of commercial taxes.There is also the Shibo Department, dealing with overseas, these contents have long been there, but the Confucianists turned a blind eye and were unwilling to really in-depth research and sum up.

So it is our scholars who are guilty, we are ashamed to the sages, and we are ashamed to the world.

We should atone!

Fortresses have always been breached from the inside, and Qian Yongren, a shameless traitor, has ripped off the face of these scholars.

These people have no other excuses, they can only hurry up, read the classics, find the content, summarize it into a book, and prepare to teach students.

Because of his insights, Qian Yongren not only got a house in Confucian Mansion for his office, but also had a person to serve him.

This person is very capable, and he easily found the books Qian Yongren needed.

"That's right, I'll give you a promotion later... By the way, I haven't asked your full name yet, where are you from?"

Facing the question, the man was silent for a moment, and said in a low voice: "The villain is from here, and his name is Kong Xixue!"

Chapter 516 Father and Son Take the Same Test

"Kong Xixue, you are the son of Yan Shenggong? You, how did you become like this?" Qian Yongren turned pale with shock and asked curiously.

Kong Xixue was slightly startled, then said in a muffled voice: "Little man, it is a blessing that a villain can serve an adult."

He didn't dare to say much, but the meaning was very clear.

Qian Yongren paused for a moment, then remembered that the Kong family had fallen into the hands of Liu Bowen, and they were being thoroughly investigated and severely punished. Many clan members were beheaded for their crimes, and their deaths were miserable.

Strictly speaking, I can be regarded as a guilty body. When I arrived in Qufu, I just wanted to get up again. As for the Kong family... I can't do anything.

Kong Xixue originally thought that if he met a scholar, he would be able to provide him with some convenience, at least he would not have to work so hard, and he would be able to eat and sleep better.

But after Qian Yongren heard his name, he was surprised for a short time, and then dimmed. This made Kong Xixue extremely embarrassed. It seems that this is not a disciple of Confucius and Mencius, nor a good person with loyalty!

Kong Xixue bowed his body and wanted to exit, but when he reached the door, he was suddenly stopped by Qian Yongren.

"and many more!"

Kong Xixue's eyes lit up, and his heart was ecstatic. Could it be that his conscience discovered it?

"Well... go and prepare some footwashing water for me, plus wormwood. I'm tired these days. I want to soak my feet well and have a good sleep."

Kong Xixue opened his mouth slightly, with a strange expression on his face, and clenched his fists involuntarily.

"What? Aren't you going? Are you still putting on airs with me?"

Kong Xixue gritted his teeth, full of anger.

But he didn't have an attack after all, he could only respond, turned around and went down.

Qian Yongren was overjoyed, at last there was someone worse than himself, and this trip to Shandong wasn't that bad!

Thinking of this, Qian Yongren was full of fighting spirit and devoted all his thoughts to compiling the book. He only bullied Kong Xixue occasionally in his spare time. Of course, he would not say that it was to satisfy his own dirty thoughts. We just let him quickly adapt to his current status, so as not to Another mistake, really lost my head.

Strictly speaking, we are helping him!

This group of things with different ideas compiled the book quite fast.

After all, they can be regarded as well-educated people. It is not difficult to compile some literacy articles, select some famous poems, and make some annotations.

In addition, when it comes to the professional part, Zhang Ximeng will come forward to coordinate.

Not only them, including Gao Qi, Xu Ben and others, also joined the ranks of compiling the book.

Generally speaking, Zhang Ximeng refers to some ancient books, first comes up with a framework, and then the big guy adds content, and Zhang Ximeng reviews it.

Then send it to Yingtian.

That's right, Zhang Ximeng established a principle that all textbooks must be reviewed by the emperor for final review, and distributed to various places in the name of the emperor.

His Majesty the Emperor has the final say on the textbooks. Correspondingly, all students can call themselves disciples of the Son of Heaven. This golden sign is no longer exclusive to Jinshi who have passed the imperial examination.

It belongs to expanding the influence of Lao Zhu.

After all, Zhang Ximeng was still very reliable at critical moments, and he should give the emperor face, which is absolutely indispensable.

I am not a three-year-old child, do you really think that if people call you Zhang Zi, you are really a sage?Sages can only be canonized after death, and when they are alive, they can only be humble social tools.

Of course, Lao Zhu also understood Zhang Ximeng's intentions, but he cared more about Zhu Biao's educational work.

It's a pity for such a good child to be taught by those people from the Imperial Academy.

There happened to be ready-made teaching materials, so I tried it on my son.

In this way, Zhu Biaoxiao added a lot of cultural courses in addition to the farming courses, and he was full and miserable every day.

My father cheated me, and my master cheated me too. I really can't live these days.

He is now envious of the fourth brother Zhu Di, this bastard eats and sleeps every day, occasionally sees his father, and with a smile on his face, he can make Zhu Yuanzhang happy for a long time.

It's still easy to be a child, but it's more troublesome when you grow up. I don't want to grow up!

Eight-year-old Zhu Biao thinks so.

With the compilation of textbooks in full swing, the preparations for Fudan School have also entered the fast lane.

The renovation of Confucian mansions is accelerating. Except for some places where Confucius is worshipped, all of them have been turned into classrooms, and a number of bedrooms are planned to be built later.

The Confucian Temple was converted into a Confucian Temple to worship the saints headed by Confucius.

Kong Lin, who buried Confucius, was also used.

There are many trees here and the environment is beautiful. A racecourse was built outside, and a shooting range was built to connect with archery... This arrangement also caused some controversy. Some people felt that it offended Confucius and affected the saint's sleep.

But Liu Bowen and others thought it was good.

Confucius taught and educated people all his life, and he had countless disciples.

Naturally, I like to watch the younger generations of scholars, in front of me, learn the six arts and forge ahead.The students also happen to keep in mind the teachings of the Master at all times. If three of us walk together, there must be our teacher. Seeing the best, think of the same, and work hard!

perfect!

Zhang Ximeng must have supported Liu Bowen's opinion, the school was built rapidly, and the next real highlight was recruiting students.

After all, how big the school is and how high the standard is, without good students to support it, it is absolutely impossible.

"Some people say that famous teachers produce high-level apprentices. In fact, I want to say that many times, high-level apprentices become famous teachers. If you meet a talented person like Su Shi, it is the same whoever becomes the teacher. Therefore, the quality of students is everything in Fudan Academy. Whether it can be done well depends entirely on these students.”

Zhang Ximeng said with a smile, in front of him were Liu Bowen and Ping Zhang Maogui, all present.

Mao Gui just came back from Daming Mansion.

Before that, he was responsible for restraining the Yuan army and preventing aid to Chahan.When Chahan was defeated and killed, Polo Timur really gained power, led troops into Beijing, and monopolized power.

Because he was worried about the Yuan army going south, Mao Gui continued to be in charge of defending the Yuan army. Until now, he has no time to go south.

Liu Bowen laughed and said: "I heard that Pingzhang left the army behind and hurried south by himself. There must be something urgent, right?"

Mao Gui blushed slightly, "Mr. Bowen is very discerning, I came here in a hurry this time, naturally because of the school's affairs."

Liu Bowen smiled and said, "Pingzhang doesn't intend to recommend a few students, does he?"

Mao Gui was stunned. Just now Zhang Ximeng said that to ensure the quality of the students, it is somewhat inappropriate for him to speak now, but the matter has come to this point, so he has to say it.

"Zhang Xiang, there are indeed many people in the Shandong Army who want to recommend some children to enter the school. They are all veterans in the army and have made great achievements." After a pause, Mao Gui said again: "Zhang Xiang, Shandong Red Turban’s rectification is imperative, and the original more than 20 soldiers need to be dismissed urgently. Arranging some children to enter the school is also to reassure them and facilitate their disposal.”

He stopped here, watching Zhang Ximeng's reaction,

Without waiting for Zhang Ximeng to express his opinion, Liu Bowen said: "Mao Pingzhang, what you said is indeed reasonable, but the school is just a start-up to cultivate talents for the country. If the first batch of students recruits too many people who are not so suitable, will it affect the school? Or to put it simply, let them come in, will all the soldiers’ children be able to enroll? If that’s the case, I’m afraid the taste of the school will change.”

Liu Bowen said it very bluntly, Mao Gui was also helpless, and didn't know how to refute.

At this time Zhang Ximeng said slowly, "I agree with arranging some military children to enroll appropriately. But there is a premise that you must pass the exam. If the grades are really poor, it is not enough for the admission standards. I can set up a preparatory class. School education must Fairness, this is the most fundamental requirement, once the back door is opened, and the back door is opened again and again, over time, the school will be abolished."

Mao Gui nodded hurriedly, "Naturally, thank you, Mr. Zhang, for your kindness... But I'm still a little hesitant, and I hope Mr. Zhang can help."

"Please tell me?" Zhang Ximeng said with a smile.

"It's like this, do you think if you are older, can you go to school?"

"Big, how big is it?" Zhang Ximeng asked.

"That's right, about my age!"

Zhang Ximeng was stunned, "It's not bad for a middle-aged person to still want to study. The school can accept it, but it's just that you have to teach alone. After all, you can't get together with the children... By the way, who is so eager to learn?"

Mao Gui blushed slightly, and said in a low voice, "Yes, it's a lower official."

Zhang Ximeng turned pale with shock, and Liu Bowen next to him also stared wide-eyed.

What number of ways is this?

Mao Gui is a famous general of the Red Scarf Army, whose Northern Expedition shocked the world, and now he is in command of an army of one hundred thousand, and even Zhu Yuanzhang thinks highly of him.

Why do you still come to school with this identity?

"Zhang Xiang, to be honest, I still have doubts about ten years of achievements, ups and downs, how to rejuvenate the country, why to lose the country... I want to understand this matter. I have heard a lot from Zhang Xiang in the past, but I always feel that there is no system. I think the war is over. I just go to school, study hard, think about things, read through, and understand. Maybe I can continue to serve His Majesty. If it is always in the lake, it will Can't do a good job."

When Mao Gui said this, he bowed deeply.

"Zhang Xiang, please be sure to fulfill it!"

Zhang Ximeng glanced at Liu Bowen slightly, and the two looked at each other, exchanging many thoughts in an instant.

This Mao Gui really has something extraordinary!

In fact, it was not only the remnants of the Yuan court that restricted Lao Zhu's Northern Expedition, but also the Red Scarf Army in Shandong.

Don't look at Mao Gui's attachment, but these 20 people will not be reorganized for a long time, and they will not be able to use their arms and fingers. If they want to go to the Northern Expedition, problems will arise.

Originally, Zhu Yuanzhang planned to implement the reorganization of the army after returning to Beijing, and reorganized the Shandong Red Scarf.

But no one expected that Mao Gui proposed to go to school and study again at this time.

You can say that he has glimpsed the thoughts of the higher-ups, or he really thinks so.

It is indeed the right time, right in the arms.

"General Mao, I can promise you to enroll, but you also have to take the exam. But considering your status, I will hold a separate one for you, and I will be the examiner myself."

Mao Gui hurriedly waved his hands, "Master Zhang doesn't need to mobilize people. I really want to study. If Mr. Zhang grants me permission to take the exam, it's already very good. It just so happens that there are three other kids in my family. It's fun for four of us, father and son, to take the exam together!"

Liu Bowen clapped his palms and laughed, "In ancient times, there were three Sus, and now there are four Maos. It's a good story, a good story through the ages!"

Chapter 517 Reorganization of Shandong Red Scarf

Mao Gui's statement really exceeded everyone's expectations, including Zhang Ximeng.

After all, tens of 10 horses, the lord of a province, can he be given up casually?

It is possible to surrender, but it is extremely difficult to completely give up power, but he has finally taken this step, among the heroes of the world, there should be Mao Gui!

You can pick it up and put it down.
