Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Feast III

There are also regulations between the various yamen, just like modern administrative law. How to deal with a matter from below. It's not big, it's not small. Now Zhang Xuan is a special matter, and he has never thought about the process problem.

It's all to be sorted out.

Zhang Xuan knew that there were so many things in it when he thought about it. If you scrutinize it carefully, it will take a lot of effort to improve the center of the imperial court. Zhang Xuan secretly put this matter on the agenda in his heart. If the public wants to do a good job, he must first sharpen his tools.

The matter of burning eyebrows has been solved, and it is time to move forward step by step.

It's just that Zhang Xuan doesn't want to talk about this matter. He glanced at Zhang Zhen and said to Huang Zongxi: "Mr. Huang, what do you think about the imperial examination?" ”

When Zhang Xuan saw Zhang Zhen coming here, he knew that Huang Zongxi's appearance must be Zhang Zhen's arrangement. Thinking about it, Zhang Zhen wanted to recommend him to be the head of the country. Zhang Xuan didn't have this idea before, but at this moment, he saw that he really had real talent and real learning. The most important thing is to join Zhang Xuan's mind. Guozijian or Taixue, although it is now an empty shelf, under the condition that the imperial examination cannot be moved, Guozijian has become an important source of Zhang Xuan's talents. Don't ask clearly, Zhang Xuan will never let Huang Zongxi go.

"The way of taking scholars in the previous dynasty is also profound."

"Tang Kao poems, Ming Jing, Moyi, early Song Dynasty, poems, fu, treatises, each one, five policies, ten Moyi. To Wang Anshi's change of law, the poetry of Fu, the Ming Scripture, and the Moyi. Writing a righteous style, than through the scriptures and those who have literary talents can be in the grid, this law is not created in Wang Anshi, but in Wang Anshi, one to the present. ”

"For hundreds of years, the article must be taken from the king's will, and in the four books and five classics, the topic has been exhausted, and the intention of Mr. Yi is observed, and the heart of the world's scholars is imprisoned. One of the drawbacks is also. ”

"In ancient times, the Tao used many ways, and now there is only one imperial examination, but the heroic people do not understand the times, and there is no way to forge ahead, and the second disadvantage is also."

"The scholars are attentive to the scriptures, and they do not understand the current affairs, and they are two-legged bookcases, and the country is said to be lacking in scholars. And there are people who have the imperial examination but take useless people. The third disadvantage is also. ”

"With these three drawbacks, it should be easier in this dynasty."

Zhang Xuan said: "Oh, but I don't know how Mr. Huang thinks he should get a taxi?" ”

Huang Zongxi said: "When the way of grace, recommendation, school, and imperial examination is carried out simultaneously, so that the world's great talents can be used by the imperial court." As for the imperial examination, it should not be purely timely. ”

"How do you get a soldier?" Zhang Xuan asked.

"Scripture, history, law, and mathematics, try them separately." Huang Zongxi said.

Zhang Xuan listened very well, peeking at Zhang Qian, and Zhang Qian's face was also a little unbearable. Zhang Xuan laughed and said, "Write a note on this matter and send it over." He looked up and saw that it was not too early, and he hurried away

Finish. After all, he still has a lot to do.

Understanding the many specific tasks involved in measuring acres of land is his task today.

After Zhang Zhenmu sent Zhang Xuan away, his face turned black all of a sudden, and he came to Huang Zongxi and said, "Taichong, you are so daring, do you know that what you said today can be spread throughout the capital by this time tomorrow." ”

It's not that Zhang Xuan deliberately embarrassed Huang Zongxi, it's really in the palace, there are I don't know how many eyes are staring, even now it's not Zhang Xuan and Zhang Zhen here, the guards and maids around them can be ignored, but the people who have been following Zhang Xuan and recording their daily notes are indispensable.

With so many people, a lot of information can't be kept secret, and the feast itself must be recorded, even if you don't know the news through them, you can know what happened just by checking the files.

Huang Zongxi looked around and said, "My lord, this is not the place to speak. ”

Zhang Zhen took Huang Zongxi to find an empty courtyard in the dilapidated palace, and after entering, he saw a pavilion, where weeds in all directions kept encroaching on the road, and even a few stone benches in the pavilion were overgrown with vines.

Seeing that there was no one left and right, Huang Zongxi said: "I have tried it today, Your Majesty's heart is as solid as a rock and cannot be changed, but when something comes out of our mouths, it is different from what comes out of Your Majesty's mouth. ”

Zhang Zhen sighed and said, "I know." ”

Huang Zongxi proposed to use a knife against the department today, and the complaints of the people of the world in the future will probably be on Huang Zongxi. Instead of Zhang Xuan, Huang Zongxi was slandering Zhang Xuan.

Huang Zongxi said: "The situation is urgent, and if you want to move Your Majesty, you must do what you like." Otherwise, Your Majesty may not be able to move with words. It's also a last resort. ”

"I know." In Zhang Qian's tone, there was a little more alienation.

Zhang Zhen has been following Zhang Xuan for many years, don't you know what kind of person Zhang Xuan is, Zhang Xuan can be said to be determined and resourceful. But because of this, Zhang Zhen was worried about the mistakes that Zhang Xuan would only make if he was smart. Wisdom is enough to admonish, and words are enough to disguise wrong.

Only then did he find a way to find resourceful talents and send them to Zhang Xuan. He thought of a way for Huang Zongxi, but he didn't let Huang Zongxi think of this way.

Although the two did not break up unhappily, the relationship has also faded a lot.

Huang Zongxi and Zhang Zhen went out of the palace together, and when they saw Zhang Zhen leave, they sighed in their hearts, and they didn't know if this Shoufu Lord would be Xiao He or Li Shanchang in the future. Can you start and finish well with Your Majesty. Of course, he also knew that before the success of the Northern Expedition, His Majesty was indispensable.

Because only Zhang Zhen has prestige among civil officials, and can also suppress the generals behind, once there is a possibility of personal conscription, Zhang Zhen is the last candidate to guard the Beijing Division. It's like Liu Muzhi is to Liu Yu. Only in the future

I don't know what will happen.

However, from today, Huang Zongxi has seen the gap between the emperor and the first assistant.

Huang Zongxi did not return to the house immediately, but found a restaurant near the palace gate and sent someone to guard the palace gate, he was waiting for someone, not someone else, it was Fang Yizhi.

Huang Zongxi and Fang Yizhi can also be regarded as old friends. He felt that there was a lot to say between him and Fang Yizhi.

Fang Yizhi didn't know that Huang Zongxi was waiting for him outside the palace gate. He was shaking his spirits at the moment, and opened a map, this map was a man of human height, more than a foot long, and two soldiers pulled it away. Zhang Xuan leaned forward and looked closely, it was the map of Songjiang.

The mountains and rivers, the roads of the city, and most importantly the land, the land of every township and village are marked with various signs.

This is the most detailed map Zhang Xuan has ever seen.

And there are seven such maps, and these seven are only the general maps of each prefecture and county. Under the prefectures and counties, there are also counties and sub-maps of each mile, which can be said to be clear and vivid from top to bottom. In addition, there are several boxes of atlases, and almost every acre of cultivated land has been identified one by one.

This is the result of Fang Yizhi's hard work for half a year.

After Zhang Xuan saw it, he couldn't help but say, "Mr. Fang has worked hard. ”

Fang Yizhi said: "Doing things for Your Majesty is a matter within the minister's responsibility, how dare you speak hard." ”

He said so, but only he knew whether it was hard in reality.

Not to mention anything else, now that he wears the clothes he just wore when he first arrived in Nanjing, he has a feeling of being weak and invincible, his own body shape is not fat, and now he has a feeling of being blown down by the wind. Zhang Xuan saw all this. said: "Come on, reward Mr. Fang, a thousand taels of silver, and when Mr. Fang leaves the palace, send it to the mansion, and give a Nanjing mansion for Li Guofu to handle." ”

"Yes." A little eunuch said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Fang Yizhi said.

He didn't care too much about the silver taels. After all, he was born in a family, and his father also worked as a feudal official, so he has seen the world. In recent years, although the family background has been much thinner, it is far better than ordinary people, but he cares about this favor, and he does not have enough status, but his family's property in Tongcheng cannot be saved.

Zhang Xuan said: "But I didn't know that those boys were good under Mr. ”

Fang Yizhi said: "They all have a foundation, they don't need to teach more, they only need a little allocation, and they can do it alone." ”

Zhang Xuan said: "What does Mr. mean, other prefectures and counties in the world, just let them measure?" ”

Fang Yizhi said: "It's okay to be on top of mathematics alone. After all, measuring acres of land is not just a technical problem, and many problems are outside of technology.
