In fact. Zhang Juzheng's idea wants to succeed. There are indeed too many accidents and possibilities. Merely. These are contingent and possible. Maybe in the eyes of others. It's hard to get it together in a short period of time. But Zhang Juzheng is born with this condition. So. That's what he thinks. And. Only Zhang Juzheng thought of it. to be able to do it.

First of all. That is, this person must be a high-ranking person in the court. This. Zhang Ju is exactly in line with this. After all, Zhang Juzheng, who is now the first assistant university scholar of the cabinet. It can be said that he is the first civil official. And the Ming Dynasty has always emphasized literature over military force. It is not too much to say that today's Zhang Ju is under one person and above 10,000 people. Of course. That can make Zhang Juzheng bow his head. Feng Bao, who obeys his words. But it was naturally removed by people.

There is only one person of high authority. to have the right to speak. Even if it's something that others don't like to hear. Something you don't want to hear. But it won't cause too much trouble. This is Zhang Juzheng's advantage. Merely. This advantage is not specific to this matter. This is just Zhang Juzheng's own advantage. It is also one of the most basic conditions for what he will do now.

The second point is even more obvious. That is, Zhang Juzheng, he has a requirement to act. As a matter of fact. This thing about water control. Every time, someone wants to play with it. What to gain. If there is no such need. Naturally, I don't want to say anything. But Zhang Juzheng has that need. That's why he has his current plan.

Having said that. What exactly does Zhang Juzheng want to do?

Zhang Fan couldn't figure it out before. But after such a reminder from Zhang Juzheng. He thought it over for himself. That is, a possibility was thought of.

I was going to say that. It's nothing. But Zhang Fan thought about it. The report of the flood was just reported this morning. And after Zhang Juzheng saw it. It's only been a few hours. But I had already thought of such an idea. This has to make Zhang Fan extremely impressed.

"The teacher wants to ......," Zhang Fan looked at Zhang Juzheng. A look of surprise and surprise on his face. Said. "I want to use the matter of water control. to verify ......"

"Not bad." didn't wait for Zhang Fan to finish speaking. Zhang Juzheng said. "That's exactly what I had in mind."

Verify. What to verify. Naturally, it is to verify the "Examination Law" that Zhang Juzheng is going to implement. Although it is said that there are rumors about this in the court now. Now there is Ge Shouli joining. So that almost everyone in the DPRK knows about this matter. No one knows.

But Zhang Juzheng's plan. Zhang Fan understood. It will still catch everyone off guard. After all. This Henan and Nanzhili passed the recital of the flood. I just arrived early this morning. And this kind of thing Zhang Juzheng doesn't need to deceive. You can't fool anyone. Come to think of it. No one can imagine it. Zhang Juzheng will use this sudden incident to make a fuss.

Of course. Afterwards, as long as Zhang Juzheng planned to do this. Then the people in the DPRK will naturally understand. But that's for later. When the time comes, no matter how much they want to object. Noisy. It's all to no avail.

Come to think of it. Although Zhang Fan was not very cold about the "surprise attack" that Zhang Juzheng carried out. But he also had to admire. This is indeed one of the most effective ways to do it. Come before things are going to happen. Verify whether it is feasible or not.

"It's just ......" although I admire Zhang Juzheng's idea. But Zhang Fan still has some questions. "The students don't know what the teacher is going to do about it."

Zhang Fan will have such a question. There's nothing strange about it. After all, he participated in the whole process of "Examination Law". helped Zhang Juzheng to make it together. So what exactly is in the test method? He's all clear.

But nowadays. Zhang Juzheng said that it is necessary to verify the matter of water control. That's a good idea. But Zhang Fan was in for a while. I don't know how to implement it.

Besides. This is a big deal. Regardless of whether it is the time when the imperial court allocates funds for disaster relief. Or the words and deeds of the ruling officials will all be monitored. Zhang Fan didn't know what Zhang Juzheng could do under such a premise to verify the "Examination Method".

"Yuande. The completion of the "Examination Method" is in progress. Half of your credit is there. Zhang Juzheng did not answer Zhang Fan positively. Instead, look at him. Asked with a smile. "Do you remember. What is one of the most important of these. ”

"How can this student forget." Zhang Fan naturally remembered it clearly. Not to mention that the "Examination Law" was also formulated by students. Even the excerpts of how the teacher intends to play at that time. Didn't the students help the teacher finish it? How can students not know what is in it?

"There is not much content in the "Examination Law". But let's talk about it. But there are a lot. But. The teacher really needs to play the recital for His Majesty. Actually, there are only two. And the focus of these two articles is the three books. ”

"Not bad." Hear Zhang Fan's words. Zhang Juzheng was quite happy. "My idea is to hit these three books."

"But ......" heard Zhang Juzheng say. Zhang Fan didn't show any joy. Instead, he frowned. Said. "In the matter of 'passing the test'. These three books are not what they name right. It is not for bookkeeping. Rather, it is used to record the affairs of officials. The students didn't see what could be used to control the water. After all. Let's take Master Pan, who has now gone to Henan. What he was going to promise. It is to control the yellow plague in Henan. So that the local people can return to their homes sooner. This kind of thing is not even documented. I'm afraid everyone knows. When the time comes, it will be governed. Master Pan is naturally a great achievement; Poorly governed. Lord Pan is also to blame. The student doesn't see what needs to be verified in this way. ”

"You're right." Zhang Juzheng said with a smile. "But you've forgotten the most fundamental thing."

"What's the matter?" Listen to what Zhang Juzheng said. Zhang Fan couldn't help but be curious.

"Books." Zhang Juzheng replied with a smile. looked at Zhang Fan with a puzzled expression. Zhang Juzheng continued. "You forgot. What does the 'account' of this book mean? ”

"What's there to think about here." Zhang Fan didn't know why Zhang Juzheng asked him this. And it's such a question.

This "account" is a word. What else is there to explain. The so-called account. Naturally, it is just a record of the entry and exit of money and goods. This point is said to be Zhang Fan's champion. I'm afraid even a three-year-old child understands.

But. Zhang Fan thought of this. But it suddenly dawned. What does Zhang Juzheng want to do.

looked at Zhang Fan's suddenly enlightened appearance. Zhang Juzheng said: "Not bad. That's what I'm going to do. Although the specific usage is somewhat different. But actually. The effect is the same. ”

That's right. Flood control. Who is the one who governs the waters? This is important. But more important. It's silver. There was no silver. No one can do it. Sand doesn't cost money. Even manpower can be done without money. But when the floods came. People want to eat. The ship is to be transported. Even the houses that were washed away had to be rebuilt. In a word. These are inseparable from money.

And Zhang Fan also understood what Zhang Juzheng meant. The "account book" is meant to be a record of the "account". Now it's the original role. Nature is understandable.

"Actually, Yuande. Think about it. Zhang Juzheng continued. In the past, every time there was a flood. What are they like? ”

Truly. In the past, it was only a flood. Nature is everyone's concern. Especially the Ming Dynasty, which has been plagued by disasters every year since the founding of the country. And the ensuing rebellions are also a constant country. Naturally, he is also very concerned about this kind of thing.

It costs money. The imperial court has never been stingy. But it doesn't matter whether the damage is severe or not. Or whether the money is given more or less. Silver that can be used for disaster relief in the end. It's really not much. Of course. As for how the rest of the money just disappeared. There is no need to repeat this kind of thing now. It's a well-known thing.

And. About that. There's also a feeling of powerlessness. No matter how diligent the emperor of the dynasty is, he loves the people. No matter how honest and honest the ministers of the dynasty are. No matter how faithful the people who were sent to control the water were in the court. It's inevitable that this kind of thing will happen. The imperial court issued ten taels of silver. And in the end, it can really be used for things before and after the flood control. It's enough to have one or two, and that's thankful.

It used to be even more about everything. What officials died violently. The silver is nowhere to be found; What is used for the people. The number is too large to record; Moreover. The silver sank into the water. Anyway, yes. The court wanted an explanation. That's an explanation for you. Anyway, these are things that have no proof of death. Whoever you send from the court. No matter how hard you try, you can't find anything.

So. Every time the imperial court encounters this kind of thing. It's all annoying. But partially. The imperial court had nothing to do. And there were floods again later. It is impossible for the imperial court to ignore it. In the same way, they still have to send money into it.

Until now. There is also a way to deal with it. For example, the officials who went to control the water said that it would cost 100,000 taels. Then the court will give 200,000 taels. But there is a lot of money. The proportions have also changed. Previously it was only a tenth. Today, only one-twentieth of them are used to control water.

This has to be said to be a helpless thing.

Now Zhang Juzheng wants to use this thing to open up. It's not a bad thing.

Merely. Zhang Fan felt it. There will still be a lot of trouble.
