The governor opened the mansion and recruited talents, regardless of their origins.

This news quickly exploded in Zhejiang, and the scholars who failed many times, the chivalrous knights who crisscrossed the rivers and lakes, and the helpers who stole chickens and dogs, were eager to try when they learned the situation - if they were selected, they should travel to Hangzhou if they were not selected, and they were the governor of Zhejiang and the right attendant of the military department!

Even, the recruitment information spread to Nanzhili next door.

Next to Wu County in Zhejiang, the county is called Li Jing. After he took office, he did nothing else, mainly focusing on education. First, in the work of magistrates, education comes first; Second, he doesn't know anything about other areas.

What kind of farming, lawsuits, and anti-theft are thrown to the subordinate officials to do.

Li Zhixian himself played with scholars, he was friends with the county school teachings, often went to the county school to inspect, and occasionally gave the county school funds to subsidize the poor scholars. In this way, in just one year, Li Jing has a very good reputation in Wu County, and countless people must praise Li Zhixian when they mention it.

"County honor, Tang Yin asks to see you." The servant came in to give the report.

Li Jing was fighting against his master's poetry, and immediately said, "Hurry up, please!" ”

Tang Bohu's life was purely tragic, he was born into a family of small businessmen. At the age of fifteen, he won the first place in the boy's exam, his friend died at the age of twenty-one, his teacher died at the age of twenty-three, and between the ages of twenty-four and twenty-five, his parents, wife, son and sister died one after another, and only one younger brother was still alive in the family.

At the age of twenty-eight, Tang Bohu Township tried first. At the age of twenty-nine, he was involved in a case of fraud in the imperial examination and was deposed as a petty official. When he returned home, Tang Bohu was dumped by Xuxian's wife, and he traveled alone in depression, and went home to recuperate after a serious illness, and his younger brother broke up with him again.

I can't be romantic, and I can't be chic.

When Tang Bohu was the poorest, he had no food for three days, and his main business was to draw pictures of the Spring Palace for people.

This year is not bad, Li Jing, the county magistrate, is a lover of talent, often invites Tang Bohu to eat and drink, and also pays for his poems and paintings.

Someone appreciated it, and Tang Bohu was grateful. "Traveling to Lushan", "Crossing the Strict Beach", "Yuan Xi", "Spring Comes", "Ascending the Heavenly King's Pavilion", "Human Day", "Early Rising", "Gu Rain" ...... Regardless of the new or old works, they were dedicated to the county, and a pair of "Mountain Road Pine Sound Map" was specially drawn for the county.

Today, I'm here to deliver paintings.

Li Jing unfolded the painting scroll, stroked his beard and praised: "Smooth and free, the ink rhyme is vivid." The shade is dry and wet, just right. This use of the pen, the frustration and turn, the vigorous dance, just point out the artistic conception of the sound of loose...... Ziwei's painting skills have reached a new level! ”

Tang Bohu smiled and said: "The county is praised. ”

Li Jing sighed: "Ziwei is so talented and has been buried so far, it's a pity." ”

Tang Bohu's face was bitter: "Time is also, life is also." ”

Li Jing suddenly said: "Wang Ruoxu, the right attendant of the military department and the governor of Zhejiang, is currently building a government in Hangzhou to recruit staff. Why don't you give it a try? ”

Tang Bohu shook his head and said, "The dignified governor of Zhejiang, how can he recruit me, a convicted person?" ”

Li Jing said: "President Wang has a saying, he recruited the shogunate this time, regardless of his background, and only asked to learn. Why not give it a try? ”

Tang Bohu still shook his head: "You don't have to humiliate yourself. ”

Li Jing really appreciated Tang Bohu's talent, took out two ingots of silver and said: "I will fund the entanglement, so I should go to Hangzhou to relax." ”

Tang Bohu was silent, a little moved, and a little afraid.

Even though he is poor, Tang Bohu is still ambitious, but he has been depressed since last year.

Two years ago, King Ning hired Tang Bohu to go to Jiangxi, and Tang Bohu was full of joy on the road. After coming into contact with King Ning, Tang Bohu was scared, and the other party actually wanted to rebel!

Tang Bohu had to pretend to be crazy and stupid, eat and drink urine, run on the street, and after some tossing, he was finally let go by King Ning.

When he returned to his hometown, gossip came flooding his face, saying that Tang Bohu had gone crazy, and even the famous actors in the Qinglou did not receive him.

Tang Bohu was completely disheartened, when someone came to buy a painting, he didn't even accept the silver, and asked the other party to bring wine directly, and said that he "didn't make money in the world".

Just this year, Li Jing, the magistrate of the county, visited many times, which brought a little anger to Tang Bohu, and finally stopped drinking at home all day.

"Let's try it," Li Jing regarded Tang Bohu as a friend and persuaded, "President Wang is not a layman, but a strange man in the world, and he must be a discerning person." ”

Tang Bohu thought about it again and again, but after all, he was not completely disgusted with the world, so he took the silver and said, "Brother Li, thank you!" ”

Li Jing laughed: "Ziwei is finally willing to call me Brother Li." ”

……

Wenzhou Mansion, Yongjia County.

Zhang Xuan, who has failed in six consecutive attempts, has not yet founded Luofeng Academy at this time, but has already accepted several disciples.

Zhang Xuan was born in a landlord family, and was not "from a humble background" as recorded in the history books. And his sister-in-law's family is also a landlord, sister-in-law's grandfather is also a high school jinshi, sister-in-law's ancestors in the Hongwu years to donate grain to resist the Japanese was awarded the seven-grade teaching position.

At this moment, Zhang Xuan is teaching "Mencius" to the students: "'The king also said that benevolence and righteousness are only, so why bother with profit? When Mencius said this, he was not only talking about benevolence and righteousness, but not about profit. Mencius said that righteousness should come before benefit, and only the benefit of benevolence and righteousness can be done......"

"If we are gentlemen, if we have benevolence and righteousness in our hearts, why can't we speak for profit? When profit and righteousness should be used, it should not be suppressed by righteousness. The so-called 'Tao does not deviate from the instrument', only preaching morality, but no means, this is a mediocre ear! Dong Zhongshu said: 'Righteousness does not seek its benefits, and it does not care about its merits'. This statement is absurd and very wrong! If there is no utilitarianism, morality is all nonsense! ”

"He who does not seek profit is a vain virtue; Those who do not seek merit are slacking off government! People and virtue are compatible, and practicing them is the real virtue; Learning and Taoism are in harmony with the people, and benefiting the people is the real government! If you talk about benevolence and righteousness all day long, but you don't do practical things for the name of the country, you are a hypocrite, a dumb official! ”

Why did Zhang Xuan go to Beijing six times and failed the list?

Just look at the above remarks, this product believes in the "Yongjia School".

This school is also known as the "utilitarian school" and the "merit school". He advocates the application of the economy to the world, the simultaneous development of justice and benefit, advocates trade and benefiting workers, reducing taxes, and opposes empty talk and suppressing business.

After school, a friend who worked as a scribe in the county government came to see him with a hand-copied official document: "Brother Bingyong, this is what I copied from the county, you can take a look." ”

Zhang Xuan read it carefully and said in surprise: "Why does the governor have the right to open the government?" ”

A friend said: "It has long been spread all over the world, and the emperor wants to open the sea ban." He was worried about local obstruction, so he sent Wang Shilang over to make an exception and have the right to open the government and build teeth. Bing uses his brother's talent, why not go to the scene, anyway, he will not delay the imperial examination. ”

"How do you open the sea?" Zhang Xuan asked.

"I don't know." The friend shook his head.

Zhang Xuan pondered: "If you can really open the sea, it will be a great thing, but I am afraid that it will not be opened half-open, and it will become a policy to harm the people." ”

The friend smiled: "That's why I have to use my brother to assist, how can outsiders know the situation in our Zhejiang." ”

Wenzhou Mansion, where Zhang Xuan is located, is the third largest base for maritime smuggling in Zhejiang during the Zhengde period.

Suddenly, Zhang Xuan stood up and said: "I am going to Hangzhou, not to cling to the powerful, but to guide the general system of Wang not to act indiscriminately. Otherwise, the coastal people of Zhejiang will suffer! ”
