In the evening when Lin Yanchao returned to Beijing, it rained heavily in Beijing.

There was a muffled thunder above the carriage.

The thunderstorm poured down, and Zhan Ming drove the carriage slowly down the muddy road.

Occasionally, you can see pedestrians, horse-drawn carriages, caravans, and pedestrians in robes hurrying in the rain.

Zhanming sat in front of the carriage and drove the car, and under the thunderclap, he felt more and more the vastness of heaven and earth.

And in the carriage, I heard that it was the master who returned to Beijing to be promoted, but he kept muttering something.

Zhan Ming had a look before, and the old man would hold the book and the pen and ink for a while.

After more than ten years by the master's side, he also learned a little about writing, and even wrote out the art of war of the Yu family army under the guidance of the master. The old man has always told him that he does not know the art of war, and the articles he writes are also on paper, and he is afraid that he will fall into the reputation of Yu Dashuai for a while, so although he does not dare to write, he can guide Zhanming to write.

Zhan Ming didn't know if this was because the old man was lazy and deceitful to serve him for more than ten years, but he did try to write Yu Dashuai's life experience in fighting into a military book.

But today he felt that the old man was doing something in the car, and he occasionally heard a few words, such as 'If you want to break the old habits and get rid of the accumulated evils, you must first emancipate your mind' These words are easy to understand.

But then he said, 'The Manchu Qing Dynasty made such a mistake back then, buying foreign guns and cannons, buying ships and ships, thinking that with the skills of their ancestors, they could defeat the foreigners with their skills, which was wrong. ’

He couldn't understand these words, what was the Manchu Qing? What is a foreigner?

"To emancipate the mind, it is necessary to improve the quality of the people, because the people are so stupid that they do not read and understand reason, and they can only make them understand, not make them know."

"Whether it is merit or forestry, it only affects some readers, and the final way is to return to open up the wisdom of the people."

Hearing this, Zhan Ming's hand holding the whip paused, when he was a soldier before, he knew that those civil servants in the army looked down on them.

So in his eyes, when a person knows that he is smarter than most people through reading, it is very rare not to belittle others, and it is even more rare to teach others who can't.

He remembered that Lin Yanchao once said to him, the law of the jungle is nature, human desire, and the way of heaven, and being born equal is civilization, heavenly principle, and humanity.

Fortunately, these sentences are still half understood, and I feel that they are organized and logical, but I can't understand them below.

However, what time is not waiting, what is the involution effect, what is the diminishing marginal utility of the agricultural economy, what sweet potatoes can only push back the Malthusian trap, and what is most important is the transformation of the national economy, which makes Zhanming's mind a mess.

But Lin Yanchao was still holding the book, and then writing something on the paper, as if he was doing something that could only be done by racking his brains. Zhan Ming shook his head and continued to catch the car.

Lin Yanchao was indeed not idle in the carriage, until he noticed that the carriage had stopped, he lifted the curtain and looked, but saw that he had already arrived at Chaoyang Gate.

Xiao Bei came to Beijing a few months later, but he didn't have much of a sense of winning the newlywed.

Jingshi is still the same Jingshi, a scene of peace and prosperity, but the situation in the world has not changed for the better than when he returned to Beijing from Guide two years ago, but worse.

After passing the checkpoint, Lin Yanchao's carriage went to Shen Shixing's house as usual.

After the two teachers and students sat down, Shen Shixing asked with a smile: "Zong Hai, what have you gained from being away from Beijing for a few months this time?" ”

Lin Yanchao said: "The students went out of Beijing this time, mainly to buy land, and by the way, they also experienced the people's feelings. ”

Shen Shixing said with a smile: "The old man heard that you really bought a lot of land in Zhendingfu!" ”

Lin Yanchao knew that there was nothing to hide, so he said: "I bought 2,000 acres of dry land." ”

Shen Shixing nodded and said: "The old man also bought a lot of land in his hometown, so that he could use it as food and clothing when he returned to the old forest in the future, but you are still young, how can you also have the heart to ask for land and give up?" ”

Lin Yanchao couldn't say that our Daming officials did this, he could only smile and say: "What the teacher taught is that the students are lazy." ”

Shen Shixing nodded, and then asked Zhengse: "Zhending Mansion was affected by the disaster last year, are the people doing well now?" ”

Lin Yanchao also said seriously: "Returning to the teacher, I can't hide it, if a big mansion like Zhending is affected by a disaster, the situation will not be worse anymore, fortunately, when the students came, the place had already started to provide relief." ”

Shen Shixing said: "The governor of Baoding is the same year as the old man, is this person still capable of governing the place?" ”

Before Lin Yanchao left, Lu He, the governor of Baoding, sent two thousand taels of silver, but he refused.

Now facing Shen Shixing, Lin Yanchao has something to say: "This person is a fierce official, not the blessing of the people under the rule, but he is good at the command of the army." ”

While listening, Shen Shixing took the paper from the case, put on Western glasses, and wrote Lin Yanchao's evaluation of Lu He on the paper one by one, and then folded it.

Lin Yanchao thought to himself, Shen Shixing is indeed old, this kind of thing, he used to remember it in his heart, and if he took it seriously, Shen Shixing was indeed much older. The position of the prime minister of the empire is said to be glorious, but it is also tiring enough.

Then Shen Shixing asked again: "So what else do you get along the way?" ”

Lin Yanchao said: "Yes, Zhending Mansion has been affected, and it is not good, but there are no affected places along the road, and it is not very good......

Shen Shixing stretched out his hand and asked, "Isn't it good?" How is the summer grain near Gyeonggi this year? ”

Lin Yanchao said: "This is a good thing, the summer grain that the students saw along the way has been almost harvested, and this year should be able to have a bumper year." ”

Shen Shixing breathed a sigh of relief, put down his pen and said: "The sky blesses, and the emperor's grace is mighty." ”

After a pause, Shen Shixing said, "You go on." ”

Lin Yanchao said: "Teacher, what the students are talking about is not summer grain, this road, the people are busy, busy with farming. The people can not be said to be industrious, but the more industrious, the more the land is exploited to the extreme, so the harvest year is still good, in addition to the court relief in the disaster year, you can only flee the famine, sell yourself into slavery, even if you are lucky. ”

"Last year, Wang An of Qi County, Meitang of Qizhou, and Liu Ruguo continued to cause incidents, although these civil unrests were quelled by the imperial court, but it can be seen that the local people have suffered deeply, and the current peace depends on the foundation laid by the two ancestors for three hundred years."

When Lin Yanchao said this, Shen Shixing's brows were furrowed, but he said, "Go on." ”

Lin Yanchao said: "For ordinary people, if they don't want to be homeless, they can only be tied to the land, and farming is the only way out."

But what about below? What if the calamity of the court is better than one day? When the food in the field is finished, what are people doing if they don't run? ”

"The governor of Yunyang was set up by the imperial court in the eighth year of Chenghua, and the reason is that the number of displaced people who fled here from various provinces has reached one million, and finally the imperial court set up a governor here, which is called pacification and governance, which is actually a tax collection ......for Qing Ding."

"Displaced people, land annexation, and corruption have been considered to be the root of the cycle of chaos for thousands of years. But looking at Huizhou, although Su Yang is rich, there are many people and few places, but this is not the case at all. This is what students can't solve along the way. ”

Shen Shixing said with a solemn face: "The old man understands what you mean, and he also knows what you want to do." But the old man can't do it, and he can't solve it, so it's better to leave it to future generations! ”

“…… Let's talk about your resignation! ”

Public before private, this is also the dialogue between Shen Shixing and Lin Yanchao.

Lin Yanchao said: "The student is presumptuous, he resigned at the beginning, and it is one thing to be ignorant of learning, but the most important thing is that he does not understand His Majesty's mind. ”

Shen Shixing nodded and said: "You are right to think about it like this, this time you have made great contributions to the abolition of the Pure Army, even if the Zhan Mansion is not enough to compensate, it is the old man who owes you." ”

When Lin Yanchao heard this, he said, "Student...... The student was also reckless at the beginning......"

Shen Shixing said: "There are gains and losses, you don't swear to stop if you don't achieve your goal, use it in your work, everything can be done, but take a step back and see that there is a lot less harmony." ”

"Teacher, that's right."

Shen Shixing smiled and said: "But this appointment was recommended by the old man to the Son of Heaven, as for the saint's side, the old man can only say."

Divine will is unpredictable. ”

"At the beginning of the year, I had asked His Majesty's eldest son to go out of the cabinet to study, but His Majesty said that the matter would be slow. It seems that this matter is going to be delayed. ”

Lin Yanchao was puzzled: "Teacher, this matter ......"

Shen Shixing said: "The old man knows that you are a little embarrassed about this matter, and you should teach the prince with your heart, it will be difficult to use it for a while." But in the long run, it is the safest, with your talent in Zhengde, Longqing will be a generation of famous ministers, but in front of me I am afraid that there is no way. If you think about it, this may be Your Majesty's intention! ”

Hearing this, Lin Yanchao hesitated.

"If you think about it again, don't be in a hurry to go back to the old man!" Shen Shixing picked up a book casually.

"Yes," Lin Yanchao got up, thought for a while, and asked, "Can the teacher arrange for me to meet His Majesty?" ”

Shen Shixing was slightly surprised, and then said: "It's difficult, Your Majesty hasn't met any ministers for half a year." ”

Lin Yanchao smiled slightly, the last time the Son of Heaven summoned himself privately.

"Try it!"

After Shen Shixing's reply, Lin Yanchao left the Shen Mansion.

When I left, it was already raining heavily, and in an instant it was falling even harder.

The torrential rain covered the sky, and Lin Yanchao also had a feeling of uncertainty about the future, but then this mood was dispelled.

Zhanming braved the rain to hold an umbrella for Lin Yanchao and escorted him back to the carriage.

"Master, where are you going next?"

"Don't go anywhere, let's go home, how many chapters did you write last time?"

Zhan Ming waited for Lin Yanchao to sit down and said: "I was about to show the master, but I didn't know a few words, and I didn't know how to say a few words." ”

Lin Yanchao smiled and said, "Don't worry, I just have kung fu, I will teach you slowly." ”

"Master, it's rare to see you have free."

Lin Yanchao said with a smile: "It's not idle, it's looking for something to do!" ”
