Presidential Residence, Study.

Zeng Guofan came from outside, stood at the door of the study, and knocked on the door.

"Come in!" Li Zhen's voice came from the study.

Zeng Guofan pushed the door in, and after entering the study, he bowed slightly to Li Zhen to show his salute, and then said, "President, what are you looking for me?" ”

Li Zhen waved his hand to signal Zeng Guofan to sit down, and said, "Brother Bohan, read this letter first!" ”

As he spoke, Li Zhen picked up a letter from the desk and handed it to Zeng Guofan.

Zeng Guofan took the letter, took a quick glance, and his face changed greatly.

He sat on the stool a little uneasy, looked at Li Zhen, and said with a serious expression: "President, this is not a trivial matter!" There are countless people who read books in the world, and if they really cut off their way to be officials, I'm afraid there will be a big **. Even if the readers are unarmed, these readers have mouths, pens, and pens in their hands are worthy of knives and guns. If you really do what you say, you will be the target of public criticism! ”

On the envelope, there is a letter with a secret name.

What was mentioned in the letter was that the eight-strand text was completely harmful, useless, and should be cut off. In addition, all officials who have passed the eight-share document must be examined and assessed one by one.

There is not much content, but it is a thing that is easy to trigger.

Li Zhen groaned: "Brother Bohan, I know the consequences of stopping the eight-strand liberal arts examination, and I also understand that the review is impossible. However, you came out of the eight-strand text, do you know the characteristics of the eight-strand text, and it will be useful for the country and the people? I don't think it's useful, and the person who wrote the letter recognizes that. So why let it exist? It's like a cancer that will harm more people if it persists for a long time. Only by painfully cutting it off can we re-establish a selection method that is useful to the country. ”

Zeng Guofan nodded and said: "The great president is reasonable, the eight-strand text is indeed useless!" ”

After a pause, Zeng Guofan continued: "However, even if the Baguwen is useless, it is not easy to reform, and it is not easy to operate. There are tens of thousands of people in the world, and readers are the main body. Since the ancient scholars, farmers, industrialists, and merchants, scholars are the first in the world, if you cut off the selection of the eight strands of literature, you will break the thoughts of countless readers, are they willing? Many people have studied all their lives and pinned their hopes on Baguwen. Once you cut off their path, it will set off **. ”

Immediately, Zeng Guofan said: "I know the harm of Baguwen, this is very formal, very framework, but if you want to reform, you also need to be slow and gradual, not too impatient." ”

Li Zhen said: "Brother Bohan, I came to you to discuss the reform of educational examinations. ”

Zeng Guofan asked, "President, where is the source of the letter?" Who wrote it and found it? If you find this person, it should be easier to operate. ”

Li Zhen shook his head and said, "I don't know, this letter was found at the gate by the soldiers guarding the gate in the morning when they changed their guards." At that time, the soldier looked around, there was no one, it is not known who wrote it. ”

Zeng Guofan then asked, "What does the president think about the contents of the letter?" ”

Li Zhen shook his head and said, "I also just got the news, and then immediately brought you over to discuss this matter." Since you think that you should seek stability, then let people discuss, and it is best to find some people who have opinions on Baguwen, and at the same time find some readers who support Baguwen, and debate it. Think about it a little more and then agree on it, what do you think? ”

Zeng Guofan said: "The president is reasonable, I will arrange it immediately!" ”

After that, Zeng Guofan turned around and prepared to leave.

"Brother Bohan!" Li Zhen looked at Zeng Guofan's slightly rickety figure and shouted.

Zeng Guofan stopped and said, "Is there anything else going on with the president?" ”

Li Zhen said: "Brother Bohan, don't be too tired, pay attention to your body, there are still many places that need you." ”

Zeng Guofan suddenly laughed and said, "Thank you for your concern, Zeng Guofan understands." Please rest assured that Zeng Guofan's health is very good, no problem. I do what I love to do, do meaningful things, and I'm willing to do it when I'm tired. ”

Li Zhen nodded, and Zeng Guofan turned to leave.

Li Zhen took the letter in his hand and muttered to himself: "Who wrote this letter?" ”

At this moment, Li Zhen's heart was full of doubts.

In order to improve the overall quality of the people, it is necessary to strengthen education, and Baguwen is certainly not going to work, so the reform must be implemented. It's just that before Li Zhen had time to implement it, someone had already mentioned stopping the eight shares, which made Li Zhen put the matter on the agenda in advance.

"Report!"

A soldier walked in and reported: "President, there are people outside the palace who want to see you!" ”

"Who?" Li Zhen asked.

The soldier replied, "The man who came said it was a man from the bank, and his name was Fan Kai." There is another person beside him, named Mu Zhongyuan. Both of them are from Guangzhou, and they have indicated that they want to see you. ”

Li Zhenluo stood up and said, "Go, follow me to meet you." ”

The soldier looked at Li Zhen's back as he left in a hurry, and a hint of surprise appeared on his face.

Even if Zeng Guofan, Zuo Zongtang and others came to visit, Li Zhen did not go to greet him in person. Now there are two people here, but Li Zhen went in person, which shows its importance. The soldier followed him out of the study and soon came to the outside of the mansion with Li Zhen. Li Zhen stood at the gate, saw Fan Kai and Mu Zhongyuan, who were in the dust, and said, "The two old brothers are coming to Beijing, why don't you notify them in advance?" ”

The people who came were Mu Zhongyuan and Fan Kai.

The two set off from Guangzhou and came to Beijing.

Fan Kai bowed slightly and saluted Li Zhen, and said without humility or arrogance: "President, Brother Mu and I are not big people, and we are not worthy of your personal greeting, this is too grand." ”

Li Zhen waved his hand and said, "Let's go, let's go into the house!" ”

He took Fan Kai and Mu Zhongyuan as he walked, and said, "Brother Fan, you and Brother Mu are my financial security!" Without your vigorous operation, the banks would not be able to make money, and I would certainly not be able to sustain a continuous war. The credit of both of you cannot be erased! You two deserve to be greeted by me. ”

Fan Kai smiled slightly, but a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.

Soon, the three of them came to the meeting room.

After the guests sat down, Li Zhen said: "Brother Fan, Brother Mu, you have come from afar, and you have worked hard. ”

Fan Kai and Mu Zhongyuan resigned again and again, saying that they were not hard.

Li Zhen opened his mouth again and asked, "Brother Mu, how has Xiao Mu been recently?" I remember that her relationship with Huan Xiaowolf is going well, how is it developing now? ”

Mu Zhongyuan said: "Thank you for the president's concern, the two are engaged and will get married this year." ”

Li Zhen said: "They are all big people, it's time to get married." After a pause, Li Zhen asked, "Two old brothers, this time you went north to Beijing together, do you have anything to do with me?" ”

Fan Kai said solemnly: "There is indeed something to report to the president!" The support of the President is urgently needed. ”

ps: The third shift, call it a day. Ming'er broke out on Monday, and it is said that it will not be less than 5 watches, see you at zero o'clock.
