Unexpectedly, Yang Chengde, the magistrate of Kunshan, still met Zhang Yi alone.

Zhang Ying is wearing a uniform and shirt, like a long-tried scholar. He knew that Yang Chengde would definitely send someone to keep an eye on him, so as soon as he came out in the morning and walked around twice, he was "encountered" by this magistrate.

"The official hasn't gone to count the warehouse yet, so it's really empty?" Zhang Ying asked bluntly.

Yang Chengde said with tears in his eyes: "Senior Mingjian, when the lower official took office, Jiliucang was already empty!" ”

Zhang Ying nodded and said, "This is the disadvantage of the country." knew that the warehouse was at a loss, but looking at the promotion of his predecessor and being in the officialdom, he could only pinch his nose and admit it. ”

Yang Chengde suddenly felt that Zhang Ying, the imperial historian, was too reasonable. In the Ming officialdom, isn't it his own county? Why do you bite yourself!

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in charge of Nanjing, and he wants to make great achievements. You were also unlucky and hit the knife. Zhang Ying said with understanding: "In fact, in the prefectures and counties in the south of the Yangtze River, there are a few places where the accounts and warehousing are compatible." ”

"Senior ......" Yang Chengde knelt down and hugged Zhang Ying's thigh: "Please also save me for the sake of Hanmo's affection!" ”

Zhang Ying sighed: "You are not in trouble." I came from Beijing, and for so many days, you didn't even adjust grain to fill the Jiliu warehouse? ”

"Senior! The spring famine is coming, where can I get food? Yang Chengde cried: "Now that the wall is falling down, everyone is pushing it, even if I borrow food at high interest, people will not want to." ”

"You're going to ask the merchant to borrow grain?" Zhang Ying snorted: "Why are you so brainless?" ”

"Please also ask your seniors to show you the way!" Yang Chengde cried: "If the lower officials escape this catastrophe, they will definitely resign and become a monk, and pray for the blessings of their predecessors every day." ”

"The people will definitely not be able to borrow it, but they can go to other states and counties to borrow it." Zhang Ying said in a low voice: "If you want to reason with them and give them some benefits, someone will always be willing to pull you." ”

Yang Chengde's mouth opened!

The reasoning is clear. The crown prince wants to set three fires, Ying Tianfu is the first, and Jiliucang is the second. After burning Kunshan, won't it be burned elsewhere? If Kunshan really finds out that there is a problem, can other places in Jiangnan escape? The really smart way is to make the Kunshan Jiliucang case a false accusation by the eunuchs, so naturally there will be no more clearance inspections in other states and counties.

Yang Chengde is a fan of the authorities, and bystanders have long been secretly preparing food. Wait for him to speak.

"I'll give you another five days, and after five days, the accounts will be clear, and you will have to open a position to count." Zhang Yi said.

Yang Chengde is naturally grateful.

Zhang Ying ended this "chance encounter" with satisfaction and quietly returned to the post house, as if nothing had happened.

Kunshan County, which had just been pushed to the cusp of the storm, suddenly calmed down. Now Daming's interviewers don't dare to interview officials, so they can only ask for inquiries, trying to sniff out something unusual. Because a large amount of manpower was transferred to Kunshan County, the criticism of the crown prince in the newspapers was suddenly much less.

Zhang Shenyan finished reading the newspaper. muttered in a low voice: "Being led by the nose so easily, and still dare to shout?" He glanced at his servant again and asked, "How is the matter of righteousness?" ”

The family said, "Back to the master, it's done." ”

The school site is a foreign residence of Zhang Shenyan in Nanjing, which was originally a place for guests to stay at home, and now it can be used as a school building if it is cleaned. The students are also not recruited from outside, they are all domestic slaves, tenant farmers, and a few concubines and nephews. There were about fifty or seventy people, which was also magnificent.

Textbooks can be bought from bookstores on the street. Allowing students to learn while copying is also a consistent practice of Yixue. As for the gentleman, it is even simpler, the Qing Ke raised in the family is already proficient in laws and accounting, and he can teach with a little more silver.

At present, there are only two majors, Ming Law and Ming Calculation, and the purpose is to pass the judicial qualification examination of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple and the accounting examination of the Ministry of Household Affairs as soon as possible, and obtain the accounting certificate.

"The sooner the better. The first one came out of the exam, and the old man rewarded him with fifty taels of silver, plus three acres of land! Zhang Shenyan can be said to have made a bloody investment, which is to let these children enter the East Palace system as soon as possible and escort the future of the Zhang family.

The family doesn't have that long-term vision. But I can still sense the sense of urgency, and I am more and more focused on doing it.

Although Zhang Shenyan is not ostentatious, Shilin is such a big place, even if he wants to keep it secret, he may not be able to keep it. Now it is the time of spring, but the Zhang family is taking the road of new learning, and it is inevitable that people will compare and criticize it.

Some people criticize it, and naturally some people follow suit.

The most difficult joints in running a school in later generations are: approval, school building, and student source. For these powerful people in Nanjing, there is no problem at all.

Daming's academies are blooming everywhere, and no one has thought of approval. The school building is not a problem, who doesn't have a few gardens? Pick out any one place that can accommodate three or five hundred people. The source of life is also very simple, so many sons who are born out of the house can't get the family property in the first place, just to learn the skills of the door, and they will also help the big house in the future.

For a time, the wind of running a school in Nanjing City actually blew into Zhu Cihong's ears.

"Your Highness, don't you need to get stuck?" Lu Suyao worriedly counted the newly established "schools" in Nanjing, and there were already more than a dozen of them. This is still on the surface, and there must be omissions that have not been counted.

"This is a good thing, why do you care?" Zhu Cihong smiled.

"His Royal Highness's civil affairs all depend on employing people, if they let these children of powerful families get in, it is inevitable that they will not become the second Ming officialdom." Lu Suyao said.

"You haven't seen it through yet." Zhu Cihong said with a smile: "Why do I dare to let the Metropolitan Procuratorate do something to the judges in Dali Temple? Because our School of Law and Political Science has more and more people, we can harvest nearly 500 people in three months at most, and as we expand, it is bound to increase. If there are many people, I dare to change. On the other hand, I have to be much more cautious here in Jiangnan and don't let the Metropolitan Procuratorate make big moves, otherwise all the officials will be arrested, and who will govern the people? Let the people be self-governing? Do you want the imperial court in the future? ”

Lu Suyao was still worried about "pollution", and was about to speak, when Zhu Cihong said again: "These people will definitely bring in a lot of old customs, but I don't think I'm worried." Why? If you look at the attitude of the Great Ming Scholar towards his own teacher and the teacher, you will know the Tao. ”

Teacher Meng is the teacher who really enlightens and teaches these students, and he is also the "teacher" in the sense of later generations. The instructor never gave them a lesson, and at most he just mixed in and listened to the academic lectures he gave them. The Jinshi of the Ming Dynasty treated the master, the room master, and the grandmaster as if they were serving their parents, and their filial piety was incomparably greater. But has anyone ever heard of someone who did this to their own teacher? After changing into the official robe, if the teacher salutes slowly, he will be picked up by the eyebrows and eyes!

Is it just because the master took their scroll that he had such kindness? Why were students in the Tang and Song dynasties more filial to their teachers?

Quite simply, the key is who has the political resources in their hands!

With the master as the core and his political resources as the silk thread, the Jinshi and the Juren can be connected into a huge network. Everyone is contributing to this net and getting nutrients from it.

Donggong's new school system has fundamentally eliminated this core.

For example, if a person has passed the bar exam and is able to enter Dali Temple, can he find an examiner who will approve his papers? It's all standardized test papers, and the examiner himself may just be a literate township student, what benefits can he give? And his mentor was just a teacher, and it was impossible to pave the way for his career.

Therefore, the new system of learning is destined to be impossible to form a network, which is tantamount to dismantling the bureaucracy at its source—until the bureaucracy clearly realizes that its executive power is in conflict with the imperial power, and fights for it in a clear and unambiguous manner...... This is the bourgeois revolution, not something that Zhu Cihong needs to consider at the moment.

"It's those old habits that will also ruin His Highness's new policy." Lu Suyao insisted.

"Changing customs is not something that can be done simply by talking." Zhu Cihong said: "Even if the source of life is strictly controlled, the original East Palace officials will gradually become corrupted and become stagnant. Only running water can not be corrupted, so open source is particularly important. What's more, as long as the rules are listed, those who dare to break my rules will have to pay the price. Only the more people waiting behind, the faster the knife in the hands of the imperial court, can it truly be never tolerated. ”

"Your Highness is right, if according to the decree of Taizu, how many officials in the world can escape the fate of peeling and filling the grass? The reason for appeasing them is that there is a shortage of manpower. Lu Suyao is no longer hard topped, but she is obviously still helpless about this situation.

In terms of loyalty, female officials are higher than eunuchs. Because eunuchs can also accept righteous sons, but female officials are really lonely - if they can't marry Lu.

According to the practice of the palace, the higher the rank of female official, the more she will not be able to marry. Therefore, when Lu Suyao achieved the position of "Yin Jun", she had already broken off the idea of going out of the palace to marry, and she regarded the crown prince as a dependent, and it was impossible for her to have half a heart.

Zhu Cihong smiled: "When you wait for the track, it will naturally get better." By the way, didn't the Metropolitan Procuratorate say that it sent a cadre to take charge of this case? Why has it been so many days, and there has been no movement at all? ”

"It's a little weird." Lu Suyao said: "It stands to reason that after checking the accounts and opening the position, it should be clear who is who." Is there any surprise? ”

"Send someone to ask, there are not enough officials here in Jiangnan, it is best to rule one place and one place, don't implicate too much, otherwise you can't change people. Once it is appeased, there will be grass on the wall thinking that the imperial court is making a show, but the reputation of honesty that has been accumulated in the past two years has been ruined. Zhu Cihong said.

Lu Suyao came out in response. She knew how strict the self-inspection was in the Dao Metropolitan Inspectorate, and although Li Banghua was old, his royal skills were perfected.

If there is no favoritism in the imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, then it is most likely that the case is complicated.

The more complex the case, the more people are implicated.

Lu Suyao inevitably had to take precautions and make a list of people who could be released. (To be continued......)
