Chapter 678 Recommendation

has gone around in a big circle, and Chen Xie can be described as painstaking. To save the king's face, he had to be taught the art of struggle. This teacher is not good, it is really not good. Lao Zhou got the reply and was about to leave when Chen Xie stopped him and said, "As a slave of the Heavenly Family, you should think about the Jiangshan Society of Your Majesty." Serving your majesty well is your greatest credit. ”

A word of beating is not light or heavy, and the frightened old Zhou immediately knelt down. Chen Xie is not one of the ministers of the Ming Dynasty, he wants to kill Lao Zhou clearly, and Zhu Cihong will complain a few words at most. As for secretly, there are more ways to do that. With a wave of his hand, Chen Xie sent Lao Zhou away, and when he came out, Lao Zhou saw Qian Qianyi coming in with a young man, hurriedly surrendered his hand, and the wolf bèi left. When I came out, I found that I was soaked with sweat, and all that came out on a hot day was cold sweat, which showed that I was not scared. Others don't know Chen Xie, but Lao Zhou knows better. Even if he is a close confidant of His Majesty, he can't compare with Chen Xie. Although he was resentful in his heart, he didn't dare to have the slightest revenge. This is a minister with the power of rise and fall, do you really think that Lao Zhou doesn't know how Zhu Cihong, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, came here? Without Chen Xie, Zhu Cihong lost his position when he was the prince.

"Student Zheng Sen, I've seen the cabinet." The young man stepped forward to salute, and Chen Xie reacted that the guy dressed as a Confucian brought by Lao Qian was actually Zheng Chenggong, the national surname. Unexpectedly, now I am wearing a green shirt and square scarf.

"Brother Feihuang Shang'an?" Chen Xie smiled and asked politely. Zheng Sen immediately bowed his hand, Chen Xie was greeting Zheng Zhilong, calling him a word, which was very good-looking. "My father is still in good health, and Lord Lao Gebu is worried."

Chen Xie said with a smile: "Back then, it seemed like yesterday when I fought the Dutch side by side with Brother Feihuang." This is more face-saving, which is equivalent to putting gold on Zheng Zhilong's face in vain. Chen Xie said this, no one dared to say that there was no such thing. Even Zheng Zhilong himself, when he heard this, he had to smile and say: "Grandpa Guo misses the old!" Promoted Zheng, but he just gave his grandfather a start. ”

Zheng Sen's experience has not changed much, and he studied under Qian Qianyi. Fifteen years of township examination, because of the extravagance of life, Guo Zhiqi, the deputy student, hated it, did not make the middle move, and also ignored his qualifications for life. After a long time, he couldn't be lifted, and Zheng Sen finally got his wish, and the field was named. Because of the recalculation and Gewu of Jingshi Enke, he came to Nanjing. I asked to see Qian Qianyi, hoping to enter the Gewu School to study. If it had been before, Qian Qianyi would not have brought him here, and he would not have the face to recommend Zheng Sen. Now it's different, he has Chen Xie's approval, and when the future cabinet minister beckons to him, he thinks it's a small thing.

After introducing Zheng Sen, Chen Xie's attitude was unexpectedly cordial. It was a pleasant surprise. Feelings, Zheng Zhilong and Chen Gebu. There is also such a layer of relationship in it. This is really Qian Qianyi's misunderstanding, Zheng Zhilong himself didn't dare to think so. It is nothing more than Chen Xie's view that although Zheng Zhilong has made a fortune in sea trade in recent years, he has essentially promoted the rapid development of maritime trade, and has also formed a group with Chen Xie's people to go to India many times, and is planning to organize a group to go to Europe recently.

Chen Xie felt that he should give some encouragement, so he was kind to Zheng Sen. Lifted up a handful of old man. Qian Qianyi misunderstood, and said that the Zheng family's tutor was good, and he obviously had such a relationship, and he entrusted himself to guide the way.

Zheng Sen took the opportunity to request to study in Nanjing Gewu School, and Chen Xie immediately picked up the pen when he heard it. He wrote a letter of recommendation and handed it to Zheng Sendao: "Gewuxue is the driving force for the progress and development of the Ming Dynasty, but moral articles cannot be left behind. There are four ancient civilizations in the world, ancient Egypt, ancient India, ancient Babylon, China, and the other three civilizations are extinct. ”

Chen Xie's words are not nonsense, in modern China, the speed of social moral decline is largely related to the fact that the good things of the ancestors have not been taken seriously. In order to develop the economy, the social moral system and structure cannot be discarded lightly.

Gewu School is a very strange place, on the one hand, the traditional Shilin hates her deeply, and criticizes her. On the other hand, with the practical needs brought about by the changes of the times, Gewu School is now the most difficult school to enter in the entire city of Nanjing. This is not a place where you can go in and study if you have money, you really have to have the ability to rely on it, and the people who are really qualified to recommend students to it are all bigwigs in Chen Xie's system. Let's put it this way, even if you are a lifter and want to go in and study, you have to take an exam. Don't talk nonsense that Lao Tzu even passed the exam, it won't work there. And there is still a lack of virtue in this place, and the annual enrollment quota is dead. Three months before the enrollment in early autumn, the quota will be announced to the public, telling everyone how many students they will accept, and they will not enroll students when they are full.

It is said that at the beginning, many people were going to see the jokes of the school, on the territory of Jiangnan, when will it be the turn of Gewuxue to come out. Who would have thought that the first enrollment would be overcrowded, and most of the children of some merchants came to apply for the examination, and a few talents were also sandwiched in it. Up to now, each class has only 1,000 students and a three-year school period. Since the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, this school has grown from an initial enrollment of 300 people to a very slow development. It's not that I don't want to be fast, but Daming wants to recruit too few qualified students. In the beginning, there were quite a few students who lowered their standards. After the construction of the New Year, the rules became stricter and stricter.

During his time in Jiangnan, Chen Xie opened three major halls, the first is Gewu School, the second is Nanjing Medical College, and the third is Huating Technical School. These three academies are all cultivating the talents that Chen Xie needs, don't worry that these students have nowhere to go, Liaodong and Nanyang are now legendary treasures full of gold, as long as you can graduate from the academy, it is not difficult to go to these two places to find an official position. Of course, the students of the technical school are more popular, they can go in to study, and they have a lifelong job, and every year they change from the old wealth of the landlord to the capitalist goods, waving a lot of silver tickets, and recruiting graduates at the door. The worst thing to mix now is actually the medical school, and the graduating students are generally employed in Nanjing Hospital. It's not worrying about nowhere to go.

Zheng Sen happily accepted it, thanked him again and again, Chen Xie had something to talk about with Qian Qianyi, and Zheng Sen consciously resigned first. came out with a letter of recommendation, Zheng Sen didn't realize how precious this letter of recommendation was, it was not easy to enter the Gewu Academy, and a recommendation place was nothing in his opinion. But when he came to the school early the next morning to register, something unexpected happened to him.

Zheng Sen brought a small guy to the door of the school, the porter was a disabled veteran, walking with a limp, but the waist pole was very straight, and there was an inconspicuous dagger hanging from the waist. Zheng Sen, who has no chance to be a warlord in this time and space, is not a national surname, standing in front of the veteran, he was looked at by sharp eyes and panicked.

"Boy, what are you sneaking around here? If you want to register for the exam, you have to wait for half a month, so let's go back. The veteran's voice was like thunder, Zheng Sen stepped forward a little nervously, to say that the identity of this person is naturally very majestic in other places, and it is not easy to use it here. An Enke came down, and how many people broke their heads and squeezed here for the sake of Jinshi's fame.

Taking out the letter of recommendation, Zheng Sen presented it with both hands: "Student Zheng Sen, come here to study, this is a letter of recommendation." ”

The porter didn't open it after taking it, and said disdainfully: "I've seen a lot of people like you, and I want to come here to take a shortcut with a letter of recommendation from a cat or dog." Boy, it's better to get this letter from Grandpa Guo, otherwise you will be miserable. After the veteran finished speaking, he opened the envelope and glanced at Zheng Sen with ill will when he took out the letter. The background of the Dengzhou camp, which doesn't look at these scholars very much, especially after the end of Enke recently, a large number of people have returned from the Beijing Division, and they have found a way to enter the singing and dancing school to study, and the director zhì catches a lot of flies every day. Those who used to read books, where did they see here?

"Gewu Academy only recognizes test results, and all those who try to take shortcuts are not welcome, hum, you ......." The veteran was suddenly stunned, staring blankly at the letter in his hand, it took a long time to come to his senses, his mouth was wide open and he couldn't close it at all, and after looking at Zheng Sen, he sneered: "Zheng Sen, right?" Come with me. ”

Zheng Sen didn't want to mention how happy he was, followed behind this veteran, and walked in unhurriedly. The veteran kept looking back, looking at Zheng Sen with a stunned face, and said in his heart that he had never heard of the old man having such a big illegitimate child. The school has been open for so long, and this is the first time I have seen Chen Xie's handwritten recommendation letter, others don't know this, who is from the family Ding School doesn't know Chen Xie's notes and seals.

While walking, the veteran asked Zheng Sen about his origin, and he quickly figured it out, but he didn't think that Zheng Zhilong's kind of goods could be treated differently by Master Chen, and the only thing that could explain it was probably that this kid was lucky with shit, and Master Chen saw Qian Muzhai's face. There is no doubt that this explanation is wrong, Chen Xie values Zheng Sen himself, and Zheng Chenggong, who left his name in history, is what Chen Xie values the most.

When his father Zheng Zhilong chose to surrender to the Manchus, the young Zheng Sen was ineffective and angrily raised troops to resist. Naturally, the entire historical merit of recovering Taiwan cannot be erased, although the original intention was to build a base for logistics sources. However, objectively, it defends the territorial integrity of the country, and this alone cannot be overstated. Not to mention, in the context of the era at the end of the Ming Dynasty, in the context of countless high-ranking officials and dignitaries in the entire land of China who defected to the enemy and sold themselves into slavery, Zheng Chenggong chose the glorious road of breaking with his father and preserving his national integrity.
