The green tree village is close to the edge, and the green mountain Guo is oblique outside.

A concrete road that spread to the end of the sky was like a white mark on the earth, causing the wild geese returning to the north to cry in surprise.

At this time, Zhang Xuan rode in a carriage on the cement road leading from Datong to the capital.

This road has not yet been completed, but the line from Bauhinia Pass to the capital can already be opened to traffic.

After several years outside the Guan, Zhang Xuan sat in a four-wheel drive carriage for the first time and drove back to the Central Plains on this cement road.

He has stepped down from the post of governor of the Hetao, as the first governor of the Hetao, he has more or less regrets in his heart, but he is a little excited when he thinks that he will see His Majesty the Emperor again after a few years of absence when he enters Beijing, and he knows that everything in front of him has changed because of the appearance of His Majesty the Emperor.

The smooth and spacious carriage, the smooth cement road that does not become muddy and difficult to walk due to rain and snow, the barbed wire that separates the pastureland from the fields, the merchants who come and go from the north and the south, the children who come and go from school in bright clothes and skirts chanting "four or five smoke villages, six or seven pavilions", and the people who are full of dreams of prosperity, all make him feel fresh and happy.

There is no hunger in the prosperous world, and reading is everywhere, this is Zhang Xuan's feeling on the way back to Beijing at this time, he had to say to his staff: "Since his accession to the throne today, he has been strict with officials, governed all industries, relieved the people's difficulties, opened commercial banks, and developed academic affairs, so that the people and the country are rich, so that there is this scene!" ”

"What the adults said is very true, but the adults go to the capital, and should be careful to be officials, the capital is mixed, not as good as the border towns, but to do things wholeheartedly, Your Majesty intends to set up a national administrative academy this time, so that hundreds of officials learn, and taught by adults, this is tantamount to humiliating hundreds of officials, in the eyes of many officials, your lordship is just a third-class miscellaneous scholar, if it is not for Your Majesty's attention, there will be no today, and now Your Majesty also let you be their teacher, how can they bear it!"

This Zhang Zhang's henchman spoke of his worries without hesitation.

"What you said is extremely true, in the eyes of the hundred officials of the Manchu Dynasty, this official can only be regarded as a minister, but I, Zhang Zhang, am loyal to my father and Li Shu, where can I compare to these people who only know the righteousness of the Spring and Autumn Period!

This time in Beijing, Your Majesty let the official enter Beijing, and the official will follow His Majesty's will and do a good job as a teacher of a hundred officials, and the officials will listen to it, and they will have to listen if they don't listen, unless they can let His Majesty kill the official! ”

Zhang Xuan waved his long sleeves as he spoke, and he had been in the border town for many years, and he suddenly had a trace of fortitude.

……

In the capital, the discussion about the National School of Administration is indeed very lively.

First of all, what is unacceptable to the civil officials is that the purpose of His Majesty's establishment of the National Academy of Administration is to educate them, and to educate them, these middle and high-level civil officials!

Cultivating scholars who have just entered the middle school, these civil officials can understand, such as the Hanlin Academy, and even regard the Hanlin official as the prince, after all, the low-level officials of the empire taught by the Hanlin official.

And now His Majesty the Emperor wants to set up the National School of Administration to educate them, these middle and high-level civil officials, which means that politically it is not enough to give them a cabinet chief assistant, but also to arrange a teacher for them.

The civil officials are very proud, and they really don't want to study and improve themselves after becoming officials, people are inert, in their opinion, they have been cold for ten years, they have learned to be rich, and they are already the pillars of the country, and it should be the time to be reused by the imperial court to make great achievements, and it should be the emperor and the prince who should let others educate themselves.

However, the civil officials could not put forward the reason why the National Academy of Administration could not be established, because of face and humble morality, he could not directly tell His Majesty the Emperor that we civil officials were Zhuge Kongming who did not need to study in the next life, so they could only accept it.

However, what makes the civil officials really unacceptable is that the person in charge of the daily teaching affairs of the National Academy of Administration is Zhang Xuan, who is from the top three, a Zhang Xuan who is not from Hanlin and only serves in the local area and is in the company of martial artists!

"What an important position the right attendant of the Ministry of Officials, how can the first assistant recommend him Zhang Xuan to serve as him, and why is there no opposition from the ministers of the court and the nine secretaries!"

"He's just a minister! How different is it from the eunuchs in the inner court, I only know how to welcome His Majesty, I don't know how to teach hundreds of officials if I don't learn and have no skills! ”

Huang Fang, the editor of the Hanlin Academy, and Shen Tao, a member of the Criminal Department, discussed at this time that Zhang Xuan was appointed as the right attendant of the Ministry of Officials to manage the National Academy of Administration, and Li Shi, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, who was defeated by Gui Cao in the competition for the post of governor of Hetao, couldn't help but sigh at this time: "Zhang Xuan is the favored minister of the Son of Heaven, and the first assistant recommended Zhang Zhang, naturally from the holy will, how can the holy will be violated, how dare the ministers and the Jiuqing refute it, it is impossible to stop this matter, there is no conclusive evidence to prove Zhang Zhang's treachery, and His Majesty cannot abandon him!" ”

Li Shi sighed as he spoke, he didn't mind letting Zhang Xuan be in charge of the training of the National Academy of Administration, and in his heart he also wanted to know what Zhang Xuan relied on to get the Holy Favor.

But what he really minded was that now, with the rise of border trade and the expansion of border towns, coupled with the immigration of the imperial court, a large number of southern tenant farmers moved north, and there was no one available to his gentry, because a large number of tenants fled, resulting in heavy losses for gentry landlords like him, and he could not guarantee sufficient rental income.

But Li Shi didn't know how to prevent this from happening, he knew that the most effective way was to let His Majesty give up the Hetao and retreat himself, so that there was no need to immigrate to the real side, and the interests of his own gentry would not be damaged, but he knew that he couldn't stop it, so he could only let His Majesty die in a hundred years, and then find a way to make the new emperor give up the Hetao, give up the ambition of foreign expansion, and protect himself at home.

And what Li Chengcheng can't accept is that some civil officials also follow His Majesty to advocate the benefits of opening up the territory, the most typical of which is Zhang Xuan!

"It was he Zhang Xuan who set up the first county in Hetao, if he used the benefits of the land, the benefits of commerce and trade and industry to attract the people to move north, he Zhang Xuan caused the people of the Central Plains to be weak, so that the fields were barren, and the scholars had no intention of starting a business. But Bachelor Li is right, he Zhang Xuan is deeply favored by the Son of Heaven, if there is no conclusive evidence to prove Zhang Zhang's rape, His Majesty will not be able to abandon him, but it just so happened that Xue got a "Wandering People", this picture was painted by Ji Gong Yu Shi Cui Zhe, depicting the tragic situation of his people being forcibly emigrated by him Zhang Xuan and leaving their homeland! Xue believes that with this plan to dedicate to His Majesty, it is impossible for His Majesty not to move! ”

At this time, Xue Fengming, the imperial historian, got up and said a word, and then unfolded the scroll for the other officials to see.

"If this picture can really make Your Majesty feel compassionate, it will not be a chance to bring down Zhang Xuan, after all, Your Majesty has always loved the people, and he will never ignore the people's grievances because of his Yixuan!"

Hanlin Scholar Li Shi said, and the other civil officials also nodded.
