He carried out reforms in the DPRK and China, and established countless enemies. Just look at last year's love turmoil, those people usually hide in the shadows, and they will jump out and bite him hard at every opportunity. He can still hold it down when he is alive, if he is a hundred years later, how will his children cope with it?

If you want the Zhang family's wealth to continue, you have to let your sons join the officialdom and achieve a high position.

Only with authority in your hands can you truly feel at ease.

What do you mean by that? What is the relationship between maintaining integrity and increasing gold and silver into the inner treasury? ”

"Father, my courtier's salary is very low, and if I only eat it, I will inevitably have a lot of money. His Majesty seems to have put the gold and silver into the inner treasury for himself, but in fact it is to reward the minister. One million taels of silver can somewhat relieve the pressure on some officials, at least the Beijing officials don't have to be in the fire. ”

Zhang Maoxiu replied respectfully.

Zhang Juzheng shook his head and said, "If only it were so simple." The Beijing officials have the respect of the magistrates, and the magistrates have the fire consumption. They have a way to make money, and the silver they make is tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of taels, so how can they take the rewards of the treasury to heart. Your Majesty's heart is good, but I am afraid that it will have little effect. ”

After being silent for a long time, the corners of Zhang Juzheng's mouth rose slightly: "Don't talk about these troubles, how do you feel about this Ning family cake after eating it?" ”

Zhang Maoxiu replied respectfully: "Father, but what did my father say about the Ning family's hand cakes? ”

Zhang Juzheng nodded lightly.

Zhang Maoxiu continued: "This finger cake tastes mellow, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, oily but not greasy, it is the best tasting cake that children have eaten over the years." ”

Zhang Juzheng happily agreed: "Yes, my father also thinks that the taste of this finger cake is very special, your eldest father died, and it is physically and mentally exhausted to run the funeral for your father, and I have no appetite these days." Only this finger cake made my father interested, and he ate three sheets in a row. ”

"Congratulations, father."

The Ming Dynasty rules the world with filial piety, and filial piety is the first.

Zhang Maoxiu is a son of man, and his father's joys, sorrows and sorrows are his joys, sorrows and sorrows. His father didn't think about tea and dinner, and he was depressed. When his father smiles, he can follow the mood.

"Well, I inquired for my father, do you know what this Ning family restaurant does? They used to steam steamed buns. ”

"Huh?"

Zhang Maoxiu was stunned.

"Can a steamed bun make such a delicious cake?"

Zhang Juzheng said unhurriedly: "This Ningjia restaurant is run by a husband and wife, and it has been tepid until this finger cake is launched, which can be described as famous overnight." The father felt that it was unlikely that the couple had made this finger cake. ”

Zhang Juzheng has lived for most of his life, and his ability to recognize and judge people has reached its peak. In his opinion, it would be impossible for the Ning couple to make such delicious finger cakes, and if they could make them, they would have done it a long time ago, so why wait until they were poor and unsustainable?

When Zhang Jing returned, he said that the shopkeeper of the Ning family had a son named Ning Xiu, who was quite talented. The father felt that the finger bread might have been made by this man. ”

"Ning Xiu? The brother who heard Song mentioned it and seemed to be a member of the Jiangling County School. ”

"This is it."

With Zhang Juzheng's status, he is the emperor of soil in Jiangling. Every move in Jiangling and even Jingzhou could not escape his sight.

"You go and call this Ning Xiu, because my father wants to meet him for a while."

Zhang Juzheng stroked the long hair under his chin and said with a faint smile.

......

......

Ning Xiu was reading in the house, and his father Ning Liang rushed in the door, panting and said, "Xiu'er, hurry, come to the front store with your father." ”

"What's going on, Dad, tell me slowly."

Ning Xiu put down the book and said in a harmonious voice.

Ning Liang grabbed Ning Xiu's arm and dragged him up.

"It's too late to say it slowly, the third young master of the Zhang family has already arrived outside the store."

"The third son of Zhang Ge's hometown?"

Ning Xiu was also surprised.

"It's not him, who else can he be. This third son is the most valued son of the elder of the pavilion, and he has always served on the left and right. He wants to see you by name, so come with your father. ”

Ning Xiu's heart was secretly refreshed, it seemed that the effect of this hand-grasped cake had gradually appeared.

As long as you can talk to the Zhang family, the road will be much easier in the future.

"My son will go with my father."

Ning Xiu followed his father to the front store and saw a handsome man dressed in moon-white silk silk pacing by himself. Waiting beside him were several servants of the Zhang family.

This person should be Zhang Maoxiu, right?

As a lover of late Ming history, Ning Xiu has a thorough understanding of Zhang Juzheng.

Zhang Juzheng has six sons. The eldest son Jing Xiu, the second son Hei Xiu, the third son Mao Xiu, the fourth son Jian Xiu, the fifth son Yun Xiu, and the sixth son Jing Xiu. There are also several daughters, but the record is unknown.

Among the six sons, the eldest son Wanli was a jinshi in the eighth year, the second son was the leader of Wanli in the fifth year, the third son was the champion of Wanli in the eighth year, the fourth son served in the Jinyi Wei Yamen, and the fifth son was Yin Shangbao Sicheng, as for the sixth son, he died of illness because he was young and did not have time to arrange Zhang Juzheng.

Zhang Juzheng relied on his power to pave such a smooth road for his sons, which is really enviable.

"Zhang Sangongzi!"

Ning Xiu greeted him with a smile and arched his hand at Zhang Maoxiu.

Zhang Maoxiu was stunned for a moment, and then said: "This is Ning Xiuning's son?" ”

Ning Xiu hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I can't afford to be a son." ”

Zhang Maoxiu is just a talent now, but according to the course of history, next year's township test, Zhang Maoxiu will definitely win, and the next year's big competition Zhang Maoxiu will be the champion. Also in the Jinshi are Zhang Jingxiu, the eldest man of the Zhang family, and Zhang Taizheng, the son of the second assistant Zhang Siwei's family.

As soon as he thought of this, Ning Xiu's heart was very painful.

It's okay to say that Zhang Maoxiu, Zhang Jingxiu, and Zhang Taizheng should take the township test in Shuntianfu and will not occupy a quota. But what should I do about the examination and the palace examination?

Competing for the rank with the sons of the first assistant and the second assistant, isn't this looking for death?

Hey, let's honestly aim for a junior high.

Gongzi didn't let him call, Zhang Maoxiu wanted to call Ning Xiu's classmate again, but when he thought that he was studying in Guozi's supervision, Ning Xiu was studying in Jiangling County, so he was not a classmate at all.

Zhang Maoxiu pondered for a moment, and said lightly: "I'm a little older, how old is it, can I call you a good brother?" ”

Ning Xiu said in his heart that you are the son of the Prime Minister's Mansion, so naturally you have the final say.

"Brother Mao Xiu has tormented the boy."

"Today, Brother Fool was ordered by his father to ask Brother Ning Xian to come over to the house. I don't know if Brother Ning Xian will have time. ”

By the behest of the Father?

Ning Xiu was stunned for a moment, Zhang Ju was going to chat with him?

"The elder has a life, and the kid dares to disobey."

"That's fine."

Zhang Maoxiu smiled faintly.

......

......

ps: Zhang Juzheng has a total of six sons, Zhang Mao practiced three, and later won the champion in the eighth year of Wanli, which is worth mentioning.

In addition, don't stop the tickets, please use the recommendation vote to kill me, let me faint happily~
