Zhang Junping was very surprised, he didn't expect Sun Zezhang to have such an iron-blooded side.

Compassionate hearts also require iron-blooded means.

"Mr. Sun, you are doing the right thing, anyone who dares to make trouble, let him know why the flowers are so red!" Zhang Junping nodded in agreement.

"Mountain Chief, you don't know, the students went to the villages outside the city to check the disaster, and those people were really miserable!

In the past, I thought that my life was poor, but at least I still had a field at home, and I could still eat and wear clothes!

But those people, in such a cold winter and the season when the water is dripping into ice, many families and families are dressed in clothes, and women and children can only hide in the haystack to keep warm!

This is the foot of the imperial city, and the lives of the people are already so difficult, so what should the people in other places do? Sun Zezhang said with a sad face.

Zhang Junping didn't speak, just nodded.

Books often like to describe the poor in ragged clothes, but when you really meet the poor in ancient times, you will find that ragged clothes are not enough to describe the poverty of the people.

It's really the case, not only the ragged clothes, but also the fact that many people are not clothed at all, and the tattered linen cloth is wrapped around their bodies, and the dry grass is exposed in the tattered mouths.

This is all good, and some people simply tie the dead grass to their bodies, even if it is clothing.

Just by reading books, you can't understand the real life of the people and the degree of hardship of the people.

Words can't describe that kind of hardship.

It's definitely not a sentence, the people are bitter when they prosper, and the people who are dying are bitter, which can be described.

"The victims who can come to line up to receive porridge are considered good, and many of them can't go out at all without clothes!" Sun Zezhang continued.

"I asked you to go outside the city to help the disaster, and the fundamental purpose is not to expect you to be able to save many people!

Rather, I hope that you will be able to understand the real life of the people in this way!

Mr. Sun passed the tribute examination this year, and as long as he passes the examination in the coming year, he will be a court official in the future!

It is said that my generation of scholars spoke for the sages, and wanted the officials to share their worries and seek well-being for the people, but if you don't even know what the people's lives are like, how can you do it for the well-being of the people?

This is the same as when I asked Zhou Min and them to go outside the city to learn the principles of farming from the people!

The fact that you are now able to grieve the poverty of the people shows that you have the potential to be a good official!

Remember what you saw and felt today!

After the title of the gold list in the coming year, you can be a good official who shares the worries of the official family and asks for the life of the people! Zhang Junping patted Sun Zezhang's shoulder and said warmly.

"I remember the words of the mountain chief, if I can roll call outside the Donghua Gate in the coming year, I will definitely ask for my life for the people, and do my life's work to change all this, so that the people can have fields to plant, food to eat, and clothes to wear!"

"It's not easy to change all that!

It's not something that you can change alone, and it's not something that can be changed by the government or the ministers of the court.

It takes the joint efforts of thousands of like-minded people to be able to change all of this with long-term perseverance!

Mr. Sun, if you really want the people to have food, clothing, and housing, then contact more people, join them, and work hard together! Zhang Junping was worried that Sun Zezhang would become a revolutionary fighter because of today's vow.

Revolutionary fighters are very great, but the early revolutionary fighters only relied on their enthusiasm and did not have a long-term and mature plan, and they were always tragic figures.

Zhang Junping wants to change this society, but he doesn't want to be a tragic hero like Shang Ying, Fan Zhongyan, Wang Anshi, and Yu Qian, and he doesn't want the people he has cultivated with great difficulty to be a tragic hero.

In short, it's still the same sentence, plan and then act, he is only nineteen years old in this life, and there is still a lot of time, so he is not in a hurry.

"Thank you for your teachings! Students should keep in mind that they will definitely contact more people with lofty ideals and strive for the well-being of the people for the rest of their lives! Zhang Junping's earnest words made Sun Zezhang feel a deep concern, and he was deeply moved to bow deeply to Zhang Junping.

"Good! I hope you can stay true to your original intention and forge ahead! Zhang Junping gave another word of encouragement before leaving the North City Gate and continuing to the West City Gate.

Kaifeng Mansion has a total of eighteen city gates, nine of which are water gates, that is, city gates for ships to pass.

In addition, there are nine city gates, and the east city gate, the west city gate, the north city gate, and the south city gate that Zhang Junping said before are just a general reference.

It is talking about the four largest city gates in the four directions, Chaoyang Gate, Nanxun Gate, Shuntian Gate, and Tongtian Gate.

Kaifeng Mansion is divided into the inner city, the outer city, and the outside of the city, the inner city is inhabited by powerful and wealthy merchants, and the outer city is inhabited by Beijing officials at all levels, small and medium-sized merchants, some craftsmen, even ordinary people are all thin and permanent people.

Outside the city, the real proletarians live there, working as porters on the docks, working in city restaurants and shops, and tenant farmers who rent other people's fields to cultivate.

It was these people who were the hardest hit by the disaster, and their homes were not stocked with food, and their houses were all thatched houses, even if they were not overwhelmed by the wind and snow, they did not keep warm at all.

To make matters worse, the heavy snow and the freezing of the river made it impassable for boats, and the porters who made a living loading and unloading goods on the docks lost their jobs.

Before Zhang Junping arrived at the Shuncheng Gate, he was stopped by Zhang Bao, who rushed to report the news, "Lang Jun, Lang Jun, the nobles in the palace have come to pass the decree, and the official family has rewarded a lot of things, and now I am waiting for you in the academy to receive the decree!" ”

"Got it! I'll go first, and you slowly follow! Zhang Junping could only cross the Shunyuan Gate and go to the Nancheng District of the outer city.

Zhang Junping was not very excited about the four treasures of the study room rewarded by Zhao Heng, but the 10,000 stone grain made him happy for a long time.

What does this mean?

On behalf of the emperor, he expressed his support for what he did.

With this 10,000 stone of grain, it can help many people tide over the difficulties, and there is no need to worry about those imperial historians impeaching him for inviting him to buy fame and plotting against him.

He is now doing things for the official family.

In the evening, 300 students and teachers returned to the college.

At the end of the day, the three hundred students and the teacher were exhausted, but everyone's face was full of a sense of achievement.

They felt sad and indignant for the poverty of the people, and they were also happy that they could really do something for the people, and those words of gratitude made them feel that their hard work was worth it.

After having dinner with the students in the academy, Zhang Junping returned to Zhang's mansion.

As soon as I got home, I sat down, and before I could have a cup of tea, someone came to the door.

"Bo'an, Bo'an!"

"Haha! Okay, you Bo'an, you don't call us if you have something, do it yourself! "Before the visitor had even entered, the voice had already come in.
