Although the Ming court had no money, the canonization team was very large.

Because people who come from the south often drag their families with them. They not only went to Nanjing to canonize King Wu, but also moved the whole family to Nanjing!

In order to leave Beijing, Yao Minggong bribed Xue Guoguan with 30,000 taels of silver, and promised to speak well to Zhao Han, and finally obtained the position of envoy to canonize King Wu.

Yao Minggong took his family south, and the family property was only loaded into four boats, and the floating wealth was only worth more than 10,000 taels.

Counting the silver he used for bribes, it was only tens of thousands of taels of property, and he really looked honest among the high-ranking officials of the Ming Dynasty.

The hometown of this goods was occupied by Zhang Xianzhong, and he did not dare to stay in Beijing, so he only asked his family to settle in Nanjing.

"The surname Zhao or don't see us?" Eunuch Du Xun asked.

Yao Minggong sighed: "It's still missing." Nanjing scholars petitioned, hoping that Zhao Han would be crowned King of Wu, but he was imprisoned for half a month. ”

Du Xun is the deputy envoy of the canonization team, he used to be a supervisor of the army, and later he was the palm seal of the Shangshan supervisor, and he was able to come to Nanjing because he bribed Wang Chengen and used six ships to transport his wealth.

Du Xun said anxiously: "This thief, he doesn't see us, and he doesn't arrest us, what does he want to do?" ”

"He didn't take the court seriously, and he didn't take the title of King Wu seriously, and he even regarded us angels as clowns." Yao Minggong thought it through.

Du Xun asked, "What about your in-law (Xiong Wencan)?" ”

"He's just living in Nanjing." Yao Minggong was quite helpless.

Xiong Wencan thought that with his "old friendship" with Zhao Han, he would definitely be able to get an official position.

As a result, Zhao Han was on official business and asked Xiong Wencan to start as a clerk, which made this old man so angry that he wanted to vomit blood. He is old, how many years can he live? From the little officials, he got up step by step, and he could be the prefect at most when he died, and he couldn't even be the governor if he died early.

Zhao Han often made an exception to use former ministers or scholars of the Ming Dynasty, but they must meet one of the following conditions:

First, the political achievements are remarkable. And the political achievements are not blown out, but made, mainly depending on the local people's livelihood.

Second, write books and speak. For example, Wu Yingji, Zhang Guowei, Fang Yizhi, and Mao Yuanyi have written works on economics, water conservancy, physics, and military affairs.

Third, outstanding ability. Zhang Bingwen has become a political envoy in Anhui, and Liu Huan has served as the director of the Hunan Provincial Department of Industry and Commerce.

Ma Shiying, who has a bad reputation, took the initiative to ask to be a small official, has a positive and good attitude, and has become the mayor of Chunhua Town, and will be a proper county official for the next promotion.

Xiong Wencan opened his mouth to be an official, how old the are you?

Du Xun asked again: "I heard that Zhang Pu is also going north of Nanjing?" ”

Yao Minggong didn't speak.

Yao Minggong used to be Yang Sichang's person, and now he is Xue Guoguan's person, and he is a political enemy with Zhang Pu.

Yao Minggong and Deputy Envoy Du Xun were in a hurry, but Xu Zuomei took off her official uniform of the Ming Dynasty and wanted to take refuge with Zhao Han only in a Confucian shirt.

Xu Zuomei is this year's new science and technology jinshi, and she was selected to be an official in the personnel department, which is nothing more than to convey the emperor's order to run errands.

"Henan Confucian scholar and new science scholar Xu Zuomei, ask to see the governor of Shuntian Yingmin!" Xu Zuomei was lying on her stomach in front of the Governor's Mansion, her buttocks facing the sky, she couldn't kneel for a long time, and she was still holding a letter in her hand.

The guard reminded: "This minister, if you write a letter to the governor, just drop it in the mailbox at the door." ”

Xu Zuomei knelt down and said, "This general, I have something important to tell you below, and I ask the general to forward the letter." ”

When the guards saw that he was speaking in a good manner, they did not dare to slack off, and helped to forward the letter.

A moment later, the guard came out again, threw the letter back angrily, and said angrily, "Get out! You sour Confucian, I also eat and hang! ”

Xu Zuomei was still kneeling there, crying bitterly and said, "Zhao Dudu is confused! ”

Seeing that Zhao Han did not accept the canonization, this guy gave up his identity as a Ming courtier. He also gave a detailed introduction to the situation in Beijing in the letter, persuaded Zhao Han to become emperor, and then swore to the Northern Expedition and destroyed the Ming Dynasty in one fell swoop.

He actually wanted to make a persuasion!

Xu Zuomei in history, Ma Yu took refuge in Li Zicheng and Dolgon. Moreover, actively participating in the party struggle between the north and the south - the party struggle in the early Qing Dynasty was a continuation of the party struggle in the late Ming Dynasty, which lasted from the Shunzhi Dynasty to the Kangxi Dynasty.

In the second year of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the party struggle between the north and the south began, which was regarded as inheriting the fine heritage of the Ming Dynasty.

It is more interesting to go to the Kangxi Dynasty, the Han party struggle, the Manchu contradictions, the two struggles are entangled and integrated, and Kang Mazi is in a mess.

At the beginning, Kangxi was still relatively immature, and killed dozens of them in one go. Gradually, the means became clever, using party disputes to clean up the Manchu nobles, and after the emperor took over the power, the Manchu and Han officials were all frightened into pugs.

Crying at the gate of the Governor's Mansion, Xu Zuomei could only return to her temporary residence and put on the official uniform of the Daming Pedestrian Division again.

The next day, he took off his official uniform again, wore a Confucian shirt, and ran to the governor's mansion to kneel.

Before Xu Zuomei knelt down, she saw several children coming out of the alley at the side gate of the Governor's Mansion with schoolbags on their backs.

"Prince?" Xu Zuomei rubbed her eyes, a little incredulous.

The prince is not something that everyone can see, and Xu Zuomei has only seen it once by chance. He didn't dare to confirm it, so he hurriedly went back to report the news, Yao Minggong and Du Xun learned of the situation, so they ran to the governor's mansion to squat.

Squatting until the evening, the children finally got out of school.

Du Xun exclaimed: "Not only the prince, but also the prince and the princess are here. ”

Yao Minggong was puzzled: "Zhao Han didn't put the royal family under house arrest, but also sent the prince and daughter to study?" ”

"Would you like to go up and see you?" Du Xun asked.

"No," Yao Minggong said in shock, "If the identity of the prince and princess is revealed, we may invite death." If you want to live, this matter must not be spread out, two of you! ”

Xu Zuomei and Du Xun nodded again and again, if they were not afraid of death, they would not have done everything possible to come to Nanjing.

The three of them continued to go back to discuss.

Yao Minggong said: "Zhao Han really doesn't seem to want to be sealed, and I won't go back to Beijing." Let's go our separate ways, I still have some silver in my hand, and I may be able to find a living and live. ”

"Disperse, disperse." Du Xun also found it boring.

Du Xun took six boats of property south, and also got a nephew from his hometown. He planned to settle down in Nanjing, raise his nephew as a son, and do business honestly to continue the incense.

Only Xu Zuomei was dumbfounded, he had no money in his hand, and it was a problem to eat in Nanjing.

The two bigwigs left the team separately and went to the city to buy real estate, and also went to the government to settle their household registration.

The rest of the people, love goes wherever it goes.

Xu Zuomei was exhausted, and seeing that he was going hungry, he could only set up a stall to write and copy books, and finally found a job as a typesetting proofreader in the bookstore.

The canonization team sent by the imperial court automatically dispersed.

……

Governor's Palace.

"Compiling a General History of China?" Zhang Pu exclaimed, "That's not easy to do, you have to have dozens or hundreds of people compile it together." ”

Zhao Han shook his head and said, "It's not a general history, but a historical textbook." Today, middle schools in the South still lack a history subject. Reading history makes people wise, why don't scholars learn history? ”

Zhang Pu was puzzled: "In all dynasties, the historical materials are as vast as a sea of smoke, how can schoolchildren finish learning in a few years?" This history textbook is not easy to compile. ”

The Ming scholar was in contact with history when he was a child, but it was an outline of historical stories.

After taking off Mengmeng, he didn't read history books, but only studied the Four Books and Five Classics. A Jinshi may not know Wang Anshi's changes after passing the exam, and all the real study of history belongs to erudite people.

Zhang Pu had many ideas and views, and the reform of the imperial examination was one of them.

Of course, his reform of the imperial examination was to abandon the Shiwen (examination model text) and let the scholars study the Confucian classics seriously. At the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to the application of what you have learned, and learn more about history and miscellaneous studies.

Zhao Han said: "Since they are children in their teens, it is naturally impossible for them to read through history books. Take the Tang Dynasty as an example, talk about how Li Yuan raised troops, talk about how Li Shimin seized the throne, and then talk about Wu Zetian and Li Longji. ”

"The rule of Zhenguan has to be talked about, the Anshi Rebellion has to be talked about, and the rest of the emperors have nothing to talk about. Wei Zheng is a famous minister, you can pick up a few and say it. There are also Li Bai and Du Fu, all of whom are classified into Tang Dynasty literature. ”

"Then select the military and political content from the history of the Tang Dynasty. Talk about the three provinces and six departments, talk about the rent and the mediocrity, and talk about the government and military system. "Food and Goods" cannot be omitted, talking about the economy and people's livelihood in the Tang Dynasty, and all kinds of industries. ”

Zhang Pu somewhat understood: "Middle school history textbooks are similar to a historical outline, so that students can know a rough idea of the past dynasties? ”

"Yes, that's right," Zhao Han said with a smile, "All high school graduates must have a general understanding of history." As for in-depth research, those who are willing to study it will naturally study it, and in the future, universities will set up a department of literature and history. ”

Zhang Pu said: "I want ten people. ”

"Okay, ten places, Mr. can recruit by himself." Zhao Han immediately agreed.

Zhang Pu, a famous man and a great Confucian, is indeed talented and advanced in thinking, but he has no experience in governing the local government.

It's not appropriate to arrange any position, just let him make up textbooks, so that he won't be blind when he is busy.

As for the title, like Qian Qianyi, he was also directly awarded the master's degree of the Hanlin Academy.

Zhao Han reminded: "Remember, when compiling history textbooks, there is one concept to implement. The rise and fall of the dynasty is nothing more than the people's gaining power. If the people do not live well, the emperor will lose the support of the people. When the people's hearts are lost, the mandate of heaven will be lost. The founding monarchs of the past dynasties not only fought wars fiercely, but also ruled the people with leniency, so that they could win the hearts of the people, obtain the mandate of heaven and open a new dynasty. ”

Zhang Pu pondered: "In this case, how can the tyrannical Qin be unified? ”

Zhao Han said with a smile: "It is said that Qin Shi Huang is cruel, and the monarchs of the six countries are kind to the people?" Qin State ploughs and fights, meritorious deeds will be rewarded, and mistakes will be punished. Although the laws and regulations are strict, there is no great harm to the people, and meritorious service can get more benefits, and naturally officials are diligent in government and soldiers serve to death. The second Qin Dynasty died, because that set of rewards and punishments for farming and warfare could not be continued, and where did the war come from when the six countries were unified? Moreover, the Qin Dynasty was too heavy to recuperate, and the people could not recuperate. ”

The fall of the Qin Dynasty was due to many reasons, and Zhao Han just set a tone.

Compared with the Qin Dynasty, Zhao Han's peasant and military system will also be gradually abolished. This is a slow process, reducing the proportion of peasants and soldiers in villages and towns every year, so that farmers have more free time to work and earn money.

Zhang Pu was ordered to compile a history textbook, without this leader of the Restoration Society taking the lead, what storm could the rest of the scholars set off?

It's just a complaint, Zhao Han doesn't bother to pay attention to it, and there is no need to arrest someone and go to prison.

Arresting people at every turn is a manifestation of incompetence.

If those gentlemen really dare to cross the line, it is not as simple as going to jail, and the miner package is up!
