Section 90: Dig a grave for yourself

After a few days of pulling the skin with those old guys, Jiang Tian, who was physically and mentally exhausted, could finally focus on teaching, but when his short hair style appeared in the classroom, it still caused a commotion. After all, there are still a few people who can accept hair in this era, and if they are officers and soldiers in the army, they can comfort themselves with the holy order that they cannot be violated, but among those Confucian scholars, whether he supports the new dynasty or not, he will feel that hair is an unbearable thing, so the emperor did not force the people to shave their heads. But Jiang Tian's private school is different, first of all, he and Emperor Zhang Tao are from the same school, so all the students who worship under Jiang Tian are also the emperor's nephews, which is also one of the reasons why many children of official eunuchs have to squeeze into this private school even if they can't understand Xinxue, after all, according to tradition, this kind of teacher-student relationship is very useful in officialdom. Zhang Tao was afraid that his fellow countryman would not realize this problem, so he semi-forcibly shaved his head, which is not only equivalent to swearing to become an imperial party, anyway, even if you Jiang Tian deny it, it will not be regarded as another party. The key is to make those who study in private schools understand that if they want to be the protégé of this Tianzi, they must be prepared to give up something, and it is not so easy to be left and right.

This is easy to say, but it really frightens some people, because the thing of shaving the head is too conspicuous, after all, after experiencing the political environment of the party struggle in the former Ming Dynasty, many people have been cautious about this kind of standing in line, even if they are on the emperor's side. Of course, there must be those who are cautious, such as Song Yi, Wu Yuan, Liu Baokai......

"Anyway, your situation is similar to mine, and you can't get rid of the label of the imperial party no matter what, so you just give up on yourself?" Standing outside the class, it was just not time for class yet, so Jiang Tian teased indifferently.

The two of them looked at each other, and it was indeed awkward how they looked, but the situation was like what Jiang Tian said, whether these people were Song Yi of the Xinxue faction, or Wu Yuan, who had the title of fake prince, and Liu Baokai, who was a young man and a military officer, even if they pretended to respect Confucianism more than anyone else, they would be regarded as a show, so it was better to simply take a stand. It was Tian Xuhai who instinctively chose to dodge after seeing their shapes.

Zhang Huan, who was also shaved by a student's head, bowed respectfully after seeing Jiang Tian: "The student has seen the master." ”

Although it is natural to be called Master, Jiang Tian still feels an indescribable sense of disobedience after hearing this title at first glance. Especially this little Zhengtai with red lips and white teeth and a white face like a crown of jade, Jiang Tian has always wondered if he is a little girl dressed as a man, if the face of this girl killer is placed on a college campus in the 21st century, it can definitely cause the hormones of female animals to secrete violently...... But then again, since he walked into Jiang's mansion, as long as a certain woman saw it, whether it was the maid ring serving tea and pouring water or the old mother who was sprinkling and sweeping, they all glanced at him a few more times.

Before class, Jiang Tian hurriedly asked Song Yi: "Dexin, I'm not here for the past two days, what did you tell them?" ”

When he mentioned this, Song Yi frowned: "Sir, in order not to mislead people's children." These days, I don't dare to dabble in physics, chemistry, biology, etc. It's just a little bit of math. ”

"That's the same as not going to class!" Jiang Tian only smiled bitterly at this.

"That's right." Song Yi remembered one thing again: "Zhao Zhi saw that my class here was very fresh, so he listened for a while, but he was illiterate, so he didn't understand anything." The student first taught him a few "Hundred Family Names" and "Three Character Classics" on his own initiative. ”

Jiang Tian smiled slightly: "I forgot about him, it's good to learn to read, it's just that I haven't had time to teach him anything else." So, do you think there is anyone among the students who can teach on behalf of the student, so that this kid can get rid of illiteracy first? ”

Although there is no forced apportionment, but these people are obviously unwilling to take care of this idle matter, do you think that a teenager or an illiterate and a half-old child, how much patience do you have to teach him?

When several people were hesitating, Zhang Huan hurriedly stood up: "If the master doesn't give up, the student is willing to help the senior brother!" ”

A few guys around looked at him strangely, your dignified Chinese prince came here to study incognito, maybe it will become a good story in the future. But condescending to teach a folk boy to read and write, this is a bit ...... And also call each other senior brother!

Jiang Tian didn't know that he was the crown prince, and thought that if they were close in age, maybe they could still have a common language, maybe Zhang Huan was just looking for something to do because he was idle and uncomfortable. As for the question of whether Zhao Zhi is considered a senior brother, there are different opinions, but at least he can learn something useful, and he can't be mentioned by others decades later that his eldest apprentice is illiterate, right?

Wu Yuan quickly reacted, Zhang Huan was worried about the teacher, and he obviously wanted to take the opportunity to soak in Jiang Tian's side and learn a lot of new things. However, whether he said this matter himself or not, it depends on whether the queen agrees or not. So he immediately reminded him: "If you go out all day, how can you explain to your mother?" ”

Zhang Huan's little face changed color in an instant, and he felt palpitations when he thought of his mother's stern face. If it weren't for the fact that the teacher hurriedly made a few mirrors, and later made soap for offerings, maybe he would have been limited to at least a few months!

Wu Yuan sighed in his heart, this nominal cousin used to stick to himself, but since he met Jiang Tian, he has been pestering him as if he had found a new toy. Should I say I'm relieved, or a little lost? In short, I couldn't bear to see him in such a difficult situation, so I persuaded him with good words: "It's better for me to help me intercede together when I go home, but there is no guarantee of success or failure." ”

Song Yi also knew that he couldn't go too far on this topic, so he hurriedly asked Jiang Tian: "I wonder if Mr. will have time in the future?" ”

"Yes, those annoying things are finally over......"

A few days ago, after arduous efforts, he finally carried out a preliminary examination and approval of the financial reform plan with the cooperation of Zhang Tao, and the new plan not only involved the issue of citizens' tax payment, but also standardized customs duties, commercial taxes, and industrial taxes that had not yet been seen. It can be said that in the future, the Chinese dynasty will not rely on a simple few tax packages to conquer the world, as those dynasties in history did, but will clarify in detail the types of taxes payable between all walks of life, and preliminarily define the system of changing the tax rate, and on this basis, it is equivalent to using taxes to establish a set of macroeconomic regulation and control mechanisms. Each tax is not too high, but it can't stand the variety. For this reason, those old guys who couldn't keep up with their thinking at all had to agree to install the professional graduates trained by the Imperial Academy in various departments. Looking at such a cumbersome and meticulous tax system, all Confucian officials understood that the situation of being able to govern the world by relying only on the Four Books and the Five Classics would never again occur.

Naturally, they will not be restrained, in fact, from the very beginning, the two sides have been arguing fiercely around such a complex tax. Traditional officials believed that when the new dynasty was first established, it should rest and recuperate, and learn from those prosperous kings in history to lighten the burden. Jiang Tian and Zhang Tao have completely opposite attitudes, you can reduce taxes, it depends on the local situation, and there is no contradiction between formulating the tax system and reducing taxes. Besides, most of these old guys are from the south of the Yangtze River, and the large-scale tax cuts they proposed will naturally benefit their hometowns, but except for the middle reaches of the Yangtze River to Nanjing, most areas in the south of the Yangtze River have not been affected by military disasters, and their basic production capacity has not been destroyed.

Just when the two sides were in dispute, Zhang Tao decisively used the power in his hands, announced that the tax work would be separated from the household, and the State Taxation Bureau would be re-established, and it would be directly under the emperor himself, and the cabinet would only have the qualification to audit the accounts and not the right to command! This trick can be regarded as a surprise to those people, the civilian officials who have no military power in the first place, and now they have no financial power, what do you say is left of the power they can use? While these people had not yet reacted, Zhang Tao immediately announced that the powers of public security and justice would be separated from the hands of the magistrates, and that in the future, the two sides would not be subordinate to each other, and that both personnel appointments and dismissals and work evaluations would be carried out by their immediate superiors. The previous situation where a magistrate was in charge of everything will no longer exist. This is not counting, taking advantage of the need to teach the students of Guangzhou University to prepare for next year's spring festival, all localities have established education bureaus on the basis of academic administration, and the filing of textbooks and teachers is directly summarized to the Ministry of Education in Beijing, and this newly released minister of education is Song Yingxing, who also wears many hats. Jiang Tian, who is the director of the Guozijian Department, has also been automatically promoted to the vice minister of education, and it is certain that the two of them will definitely be independent of each other for a period of time in the future, until outstanding students can take charge of cultivating the next generation on their own.

Other departments, such as Dali Temple, have been given the right to control some criminal cases across the country, and will directly command the judicial system in various places, which is equivalent to the Supreme Court in later generations. The positions of arresting and fastening in the Yamen were changed to the Public Security Bureau, and new institutions such as the Ministry of Public Security were re-established in Beijing. Because the imperial historians of the Ming Dynasty were notoriously like mad dogs, the Metropolitan Procuratorate basically kept it unchanged, but it was stipulated that there must be real evidence for impeachment, and if the rumors were proved to be false, the corresponding responsibility would be investigated! It is worth mentioning that there was no Royal Central Reserve Bank similar to the Yamen at all, because the country's financial services industry has not yet shown a trend of large-scale specialization, and the original Shanxi ticket number has not yet recovered after being destroyed by the war, so the role of this reserve bank is only one function of issuing currency for the time being, which is tantamount to robbing the household department of trading. But his first governor is intriguing, since Jiang Tian explicitly rejected this position, King Ji has no choice but to temporarily take charge of the central bank. In fact, there is also a certain risk, because King Ji also manages the security of the capital, so according to the new regulations, after the establishment of the Ministry of Public Security, the work of national security and arrest will be transferred to the public security system, which is tantamount to depriving King Ji of military power in disguise.

The disturbances in the court have not disturbed Jiang Tian at all now, to be precise, he deliberately avoided those sensitive duties. Knowing that the next step was for all parties to negotiate for interests, the original six ministries and the cabinet had to divide the sphere of influence, and at the same time bargain with the new yamen, Jiang Tian did not want to participate in this process. After all, his qualifications are too shallow to command those intertwined networks, so temporarily retreating and showing that he has no desire for power is the way to protect himself on the eve of this chaos.

Seeing that the sky was bright, Jiang Tian ended chatting with these friends and students, and then led them into the classroom, standing next to the newly customized podium, seeing that everyone had arrived, Song Yi took the lead in saluting him, Jiang Tian did not put on the old master's style this time, but bent down gently to them in the same way, and for a while all the students looked at each other and didn't know what to do.

Jiang Tian beckoned them all to sit down, and he stood behind the podium like a later generation: "Don't be too surprised, although you are here to go to school, but in terms of personality, I am not higher than you, and what I just did is considered to be a return of courtesy." A few days ago, I neglected you because I had business to do. But after Dexin conveyed it to me, I know that your new learning level is not the same, and some of you don't even understand the basics. Therefore, those who know something about the new learning should not be impatient, and we will explain it from the beginning from today. ”

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Tian took out a box of custom-made chalk from the podium, that is, something made of hydrated lime and gypsum, and first copied down the class schedule of this semester on the blackboard behind him, taking one day off every five days, exactly five rounds of thirty days a month, three classes a day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon, and a one-and-a-half-hour lunch break in the middle, and the festival was automatically closed. Jiang Tian's arrangement makes sense, first of all, the Chinese Dynasty did not use the European calendar, and still used the lunar calendar of the lunisolar calendar. Therefore, each month is basically 30 days, and the arrangement of five days off and one day off not only combines work and rest, but also avoids explaining the seven-day week. Besides, if you don't believe in Christ or God anyway, why do you have to rest with God?

After writing the class schedule, some students found that their husband's board book is really not complimentary, although the military character was born from cursive, but after all, there is still a little difference, but the military character written by this new student not only can not see the elegance of cursive, but also can not see the neatness of regular script, crooked as if written by a child, everyone had to endure not laughing.

Of course, Jiang Tian knows that he can't handle these two strokes, if he says that he can still see people with the skills of the original Jiang Tian, he really has to pick up chalk and write simplified characters on the blackboard, then only the habits brought by the previous life are left. You can't be pretty even if you want to be pretty. So Jiang Tian didn't care, and after these people copied the course table, they took out a rag tied to the wooden block, and completely erased the handwriting on the blackboard, the people who used to go to school or teach in the Imperial Academy were okay, after all, they knew what this thing was, and many people who had not seen the new school of teaching before looked dumbfounded, who felt that it was possible to write so casually, and it could be erased effortlessly, how much ink would be saved?

Jiang Tian's curriculum was very simple, arranged according to the level of junior high school in later generations, in addition to mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, geography and other scientific knowledge, physical education and politics were added, and Chinese, English, art, music, and labor skills were abolished. Chinese and English are pure chicken ribs for this era, and no one in the world regards English as a compulsory language, so it is useless to learn it. Art and music, on the other hand, are personal cultivations, and if you want to learn them, you can be self-taught. Labor...... The Chinese have always regarded physical labor as a lowly type of work, and letting these people work is tantamount to insulting them, and this situation will not change for a while. Jiang Tian used to advertise retro, thinking that even if the six arts of the gentleman could not be fully revived, at least part of them should be restored, so he added physical education classes. He had hesitated about politics, but Zhang Tao was in favor of this course, although he could not tell students anything about Marxism-Leninism-Mao, but at least he could mention some classification of class and production relations, and he could also teach the class as a disguised analysis of Chinese and foreign history, so as to achieve the purpose of subtly improving the intellectuals' understanding of society, of course, Jiang Tian was skeptical about whether it could achieve such a good effect.

"So our first lesson of the day is...... 政zhì! ”

As soon as he said the first sentence, Zhang Huan raised his hand.

Jiang Tian suddenly had a black line in his head, how can you kid always have a problem: "Say!" ”

Because Zhang Huan knew Jiang Tian's classroom discipline in advance, he stood up and said: "Sir, the student has always been unknown, why does the beginning of this political zhì say that Ru Mao drinks blood?" ”

In traditional Chinese culture, the word "政zhì" refers to the means by which the ruling class manages the country and the people, while the modern interpretation is an act of the whole people participating in social activities, and the two meanings are completely different. Therefore, when Jiang Tian begins his political textbook to talk about the productive forces of primitive society, it will naturally cause confusion in thinking. In fact, he also knows that if this political lesson is placed in other eras, it will definitely be regarded as a great rebellion, and it is not too much to be branded as a fallacy and heresy, because according to the analysis here, the divine authority of the monarch has become extremely ridiculous, and it is a means of ruling used to deceive the people, which emperor do you say will tolerate this theory? I don't know what Zhang Tao thinks, not only did he not agree to cancel this course, but also strongly asked to add some knowledge of communism @ industry @ lordship @ righteousness @ sociology, because Jiang Tian can only pass this course at most, so a lot of content is simply supplemented by Zhang Tao! If it weren't for that, I'm afraid that the imperial history would have impeached him and confused the public with his fallacies. It is precisely because the textbooks of this course are all in the vernacular and explain in simple terms, so as long as you read it, most of you can understand the meaning, that is, no one dares to think deeply about it, after all, there is no less contempt for imperial power in these words.

Jiang Tian frowned and thought for a while, so he had to say honestly: "If you want to comprehensively explain what is called politics, it will take a long time, you just need to know that this course is a compulsory course compiled by His Majesty the Emperor himself!" ”
