Chapter One Thousand and One Sweet Potatoes Come South

The passage of the House of Representatives in the Hanlin Courtyard was naturally not all smooth sailing.

Lin Yanchao's words won the support of many Hanlin who were originally neutral, or Hanlin who already had a good impression of Shigongxue.

This finally pulled a group of people for himself.

However, in the deliberations of the Hanlin Academy, the final decisive factor was that Lin Yanchao relied on his authority as a scholar and the support of the master of the academy, Zhang Wei, and reluctantly passed.

In the chamber, the policy was raised to the same status as the scriptures and righteousness, and then Zhang Wei led the play of the Son of Heaven.

As for the ministerial meeting on the side of the Ministry of Rites, of course, this proposal was rejected.

Although Guo Zhengyu is an official of the Ministry of Rites, after all, he is only the main person in charge of observing politics, and he has not yet become a regular, so he is soft-spoken in the Ministry of Rites.

But listen to Lin Yanchao, who Guo Zhengyu told afterwards.

The opposition to this proposal in the Ministry of Rites was not as strong as that of the Hanlin Academy, because Shen Li, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, expressed his appreciation and approval, and he believed that there were indeed great drawbacks in the current scriptures and righteousness, and it was also a way to eliminate the disadvantages of the scriptures and righteousness.

However, although Shen Li said this, his attitude was not firm, on the contrary, most of the officials in the Ministry of Rites still supported the science of science, and there were a few people in the Ministry of Rites who did not deal with Shen Shixing.

Therefore, there was no surprise in the Ministry of Rites, and the countermeasures were expressed against the question.

For this result, Lin Yanchao was not the slightest surprised, but was a little surprised by the Ministry of Rites and Shen Li's support.

Shen Li is a real Confucian of science, and he is in charge of the Ministry of Rites, so there is no need to support himself for this matter, but Shen Li has a tolerant and accepting attitude towards the study of merit.

Before the crossing, I heard that I was pedantic, but now it seems a bit biased.

The style of Confucianism is generally inclusive, of course, the premise is not not to touch the bottom line.

When Wang Yangming founded the science of mind, many great Confucians jumped out to criticize, but criticism is criticism.

When the opposition was at its most intense, several officials who pursued the study of mind joined the cabinet and even became the first assistant.

Economic development, along with the emancipation of the mind, especially in the Su, Wu, and other new ideas burst out, not only the study of their own merits, even such as Qi science, but also the science of Confucianism that wants to challenge the hegemony, as for the study of mind, although the other schools have declined, but the Taizhou school is outstanding.

This is not only within Confucianism, but other schools are also blooming, and other schools of thought are more popular than Confucianism that has entered the WTO.

Therefore, this made Lin Yanchao inevitably worried, and if he did not promote the study of merit among the scholars as soon as possible, it would not be science to defeat him, but the extravagant atmosphere of the scholars who indulged in enjoyment, or talked all day long, and the style of study became more and more impetuous and forgot to forge ahead.

Therefore, this time is extremely important for the reform of the examination, not only as a step to promote the study of merit, but also to ask the Son of Heaven to support his determination to reform.

However, to change the world, we must first popularize the study of WTO accession. If you rely on the strength of one person, even if he is an emperor or a prime minister, he will fail.

Therefore, it is necessary to gather a group of people, a group of people with ideals, and a group of people who have the heart to create a century. History tells us that those who have such expectations become incredibly powerful.

At present, among the three schools of Confucianism, only Lin Xue, which combines the doctrine of Legalism, is a resolute reformer, a reformer, and a actioner.

The theory of the work of Lin Xue, compared with the science of science, the study of mind is still weak, many Confucians, folk scholars criticize Lin Xue, there are still a lot of criticisms.

Therefore, in order to obtain the status of a prominent scholar, you must make a name for yourself in the imperial examination, so even if you fail this time, it doesn't matter, the most important thing is to let Lixue face up to this doctrine through this discussion, let them know that there is a doctrine that is competing with them for the authentic position of Confucianism, and Shigongxue is not just a school like Xinxue and Qixue.

Taking a step back, even if it fails, is a good advertising effect.

But at the moment, it seems that this matter is in a good situation, as long as it is passed in the Hanlin Academy, it will be a victory. The Hanlin Academy, where the best scholars in the world are concentrated, they identify with forestry.

And not only that, now the Hanlin Academy supports it, the Ministry of Rites opposes it, and the two sides fight a one-to-one, as for what happens in the end, it depends on the mind of the Son of Heaven. If it is said that if the other side passes, then it is a big victory.

After the Hanlin House meeting, Lin Yanchao returned home in a carriage.

As soon as he entered the house, Chen Jichuan reported that several Henan officials asked to see him, and someone from his hometown had arrived, and Sun Chengzong had also arrived.

Lin Yanchao heard that it was okay to have other names, but when he heard that Sun Chengzong had arrived, he looked happy.

Chen Jichuan asked, "Is it Mr. Sun the seer?" ”

Lin Yanchao picked up the official's name and said: "No, most of these Henan officials came to see me, most of them because of the matter of arrears, and asked me to speak in the cabinet, which can sell one or two favors and see them first." ”

As for the living room.

At this time, another wave of guests came.

These people also came to Beijing to take the exam, namely Chen Yinglong, Chen Ruoyu, and Lin Jiheng.

Chen Yinglong was Lin Yanchao's classmate when he was at Lianpu College, Chen Ruoyu was the son of Chen Jin, a champion from Fuzhou, and Chen Xinggui's brother, and the two were also members of the Wenlin Society.

As for Lin Jiheng, he is also a member of the Wenlin Society, and he has just been promoted this year.

These people also know Lin Xin, but they are only nodding their heads. came to Beijing from his hometown to take the exam, but he didn't have a companion, and Lin Xin was a little at a loss when he met here.

After a while, I heard Chen Yinglong say with a smile: "Brother Xuegong is here." ”

When everyone heard the words and saw the door, it was really Lin Yanchao who arrived, and they all got up immediately. They and Lin Yanchao are old acquaintances, and they saluted one by one, but Lin Xin has never seen it, and he is listed at the end of everyone.

Lin Xin saw that Lin Yanchao was two or three years older than him, but his demeanor was not something that could be described in words.

I heard that when Lin Yanchao was the prefect, he killed a favored eunuch beside the Queen Mother.

And he is today's great Confucian, and in recent years, the study of merit has spread all over the country. Regardless of whether you have the intention to read and apply what you have learned, but the reader has more or less dabbled, what 'the rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband', whether it is a believer in forestry or not, but everyone will say a word or two.

Therefore, when Lin Xin first saw his fellow sect, the Zhengyin official and the Confucian knowledge were fused together, which was unforgettable.

When it was Lin Xin's turn to salute, Lin Xin was a little nervous and immediately saluted: "Nephew Lin Xin, I have seen my uncle." ”

Lin Yanchao smiled in surprise and said, "When did my generation become so old?" ”

Everyone laughed.

Lin Xin couldn't help but be surprised, and didn't know what to say.

At this time, Yuan Keli hurriedly asked: "Dare to ask the teacher, should the academy raise the policy question to the same position as the scriptures and righteousness?" ”

Everyone looked at Lin Yanchao, this matter was related to the 3,000 people who took the exam, and of course everyone present was concerned.

"Don't talk about business in private, don't ask."

Yuan Keli immediately lowered his head when he heard the words and said, "It's the student Meng Lang." ”

Lin Yanchao nodded, then looked at Chen Yinglong and asked, "Brother Weng, why didn't Brother Gong see it?" ”

Chen Yinglong said: "Brother Weng has tried and failed repeatedly, and now he is a teacher in Yanping Mansion. As for Brother Gong's family, there have been some changes. ”

Weng Zhengchun gave up the examination, but became an official by raising people, which already made Lin Yanchao regretful, and heard that Gong Zinan's family had an accident, so he couldn't help asking.

Chen Yinglong said: "I don't know what happened, but Brother Gong has been frustrated in recent years, and everyone has seen it." When I went to see him last year, he had no intention of studying and becoming a career, and later I heard that he had escaped into the mountains and had not seen any old people. ”

Lin Yanchao was a little sentimental when he heard this.

Among the classmates that year, Lin Yanchao had the best friendship with Gong Zinan, and with the Gong family's family at that time, he intended to marry him, but Lin Yanchao climbed high.

But after the marriage failed, the two became estranged, and then went further and further.

Lin Yanchao remembered that he and Ye Xianggao, Gong Zinan, Chen Yinglong, and a Zhou Pingzhi took a boat back to the academy to visit the mountain chief.

At that time, when I crossed the river by boat, it was still raining a little, and Lin Yanchao and several of his classmates passed the test together, which was the time when he was full of ambition and high spirits.

Back at the academy, the chief encouraged everyone to study hard, and then everyone took a dip in the academy, how happy it was.

At that time, everyone was so young, as if many things were at their fingertips in the future, and they didn't know what it would be like to be young.

Lin Yanchao said: "Brother Gong sees through the red dust, but he is more free and easy than people like me who are rolling in Vanity Fair. ”

Chen Yinglong said: "Back then, among my classmates, Brother Gong was the most naΓ―ve, he didn't study to be an official or it was a pity for his talent, if he was asked to roll in mundane affairs, it would not be in line with his temperament, if he was in the empty door, maybe it was the most suitable for him." ”

Lin Yanchao said happily when he heard this: "Brother Dejian's words are far higher than mine, and I am very impressed. ”

Chen Yinglong said: "I don't dare to take this seriously, I can't see fame and fortune yet, otherwise what would I do when I came all the way to Beijing to catch the exam?" ”

Everyone laughed.

Lin Xin also felt the pure feelings between Lin Yanchao, Chen Yinglong, and Gong Zinan. He could feel that it was from the heart, not from the fake. He couldn't help but think to himself, his uncle said that officialdom is all about using each other, you take me, I give you a hand, these words don't seem to be very applicable to Uncle Lin.

Chen Yinglong came down to be Chen Ruoyu.

Gong Zinan's uncle is the champion, and Chen Ruoyu's father Chen Jin is also the champion, but Chen Jin died unfortunately in the Fuzhou military disaster that year.

Lin Yanchao talked to Chen Ruoyu for a few words, and then asked about Chen Zhenlong's planting of sweet potatoes in his hometown.

Chen Ruoyu replied that now Chen Zhenlong not only successfully introduced the seeds early, but also promoted the planting of many people in his hometown, and last year there was a small famine in his hometown, and the people successfully survived by relying on sweet potatoes.

Now the Chen family is planning to promote it to the provincial capitals, and even send people to Guangdong, Jiangxi, and Zhejiang to try planting.

Lin Yanchao was very relieved to hear this, and said immediately: "If this matter is successful, your Chen family will be credited to the society, and the benefits will be in the future, and you will continue to do the things of money and people, if the local government does not support it, I will come to reason with the officials in Fujian." ”

With Lin Yanchao's current status, even the governor of Fujian will sell him three points of face, not to mention other officials.

Chen Ruoyu couldn't help but be overjoyed when she heard this: "This is great." ”

Lin Yanchao smiled, in the twenty-fifth year of Wanli in history, Chen Ruoyu introduced sweet potato seeds into Fujian for planting. But because of Lin Yanchao, it was advanced to the eighth year of Wanli, and even with the funds and manpower of the Changle Chen family, as well as Lin Yanchao's greeting in the officialdom, the trial spread of sweet potatoes was much faster than before.

Chen Zhenlong: What they have to do is to select good varieties from them over and over again after each harvest, and then promote them to other farmers one by one, which is a matter that takes time to pile up.

Chen Zhenlong led sweet potatoes back to China, from the original few acres of land, to a county, from a county to a province in a few years, and now to all provinces in the province, as well as other provinces to try planting.

Although farming is the national talent of my big flower family, in the era when there was no Yuan Longping, if it was not for Lin Yanchao's foresight to push it, otherwise the sweet potato would really play a role in history, at least more than a hundred years later, when the Ming Dynasty was ancient. This matter of planting trees in the predecessors and enjoying the shade in the future generations, Lin Yanchao will not do it.

The success doesn't have to be me, it's also my so-and-so. When bureaucrats like Lin Yanchao speak, they often have the next sentence and the next sentence.

Chen Ruoyu smiled and said: "This time I came from my hometown, it was a bumper harvest of sweet potatoes, Zhenlong told me for a long time, asked me to bring some, please Mr. Xuegong to try it, if I didn't stop it, it would be enough to transport a boatload of sweet potatoes." ”

"How can I eat so much in a boatload?" Lin Yanchao smiled and instantly understood what Chen Zhenlong meant.

Lin Yanchao looked at Lin Xin, and Lin Jiheng asked, "Have you ever eaten sweet potatoes in your hometown?" ”

Lin Xin has eaten, this sweet potato tastes good, but eating too much will be overwhelming, last year when there was a famine, I heard that sweet potatoes saved the lives of many poor people, that's all.

Before Lin Xin could speak, Lin Jiheng on the side replied first that he hadn't eaten it. Lin Xin replied with a wit: "My nephew has never eaten it, but I heard that it is as sweet as honey when cooked." ”

Everyone on the side laughed.

But seeing Lin Yanchao, he said with a smile: "That's right, you guys are blessed, come and tell the kitchen, steam a pot of sweet potatoes tonight, I want to use it to entertain guests!" Ya rope, you must try it. ”

Sun Chengzong said at the moment that he knew that Lin Yanchao would not be untargeted, and there must be a reason for his words, but he didn't know what to do with eating a sweet potato and Lin Xue's work.

Lin Yanchao remembered in his heart that when he ate sweet potatoes for the first time, the taste was really a little different from what he ate in later generations, I don't know what happened now?

After listening to Lin Yanchao's instructions, the subordinates immediately went to do it.

This is also in the Ming Dynasty, if there were guests in your house in the future, and you cooked a pot of sweet potatoes to entertain you, then the picture was really unimaginable.

But scarcity is expensive.

I haven't heard Lu Xun say that the aloe vera in the south will become agave in the north, and the Chinese cabbage in the north will be tied with a red rope in Zhejiang, and it will be called gum cabbage.

That night, everyone ate and chatted, and then Lin Yanchao arranged for everyone to live in his newly bought house.

After a few days, the yamen was sealed, and it was time to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new.

The thirteenth year of Wanli will pass soon, and the following is the fourteenth year of Wanli, the fourteenth year of the reign of today's son.

On the first day of the new year, the Son of Heaven gave a banquet in the palace as usual.

Hundreds of officials entered the palace to congratulate, Lin Yanchao brought a shallow entry into the palace, and also brought a gift to the Son of Heaven to congratulate the New Year, a bucket of sweet potatoes.
