In the Wenhua Palace, Zhu Youxiao told Zhu Youzhen a truth, and when he was still thinking, Zhu Youxiao spoke.

"Sun Gechen, what do you think?"

Zhu Youxiao's words directly pointed to the leader of the Zhejiang Party, and when Sun Ruyou, the cabinet minister of the cabinet today, everyone sweated for Sun Ruyou.

But for Sun Ruyou, he has been an official in the Wanli Dynasty for 25 years, and Zhu Youxiao's methods can't deceive him at all.

He held the wat board, lowered his eyes, and said in a calm tone:

"Long live, the ministers think, don't wronged the officials of Huai'an Mansion because of the words of one person."

"Is there a big hunger in Huaibei? Is it easy to eat? Or hundreds of thousands of people starving to death? Everything needs to be investigated. ”

Sun Ruyou responded with a calm face, and Zhu Youzhen looked at him, and he understood very well in his heart that Sun Ruyou was not hard-mouthed, but had a strong sense of trust in the ability of local officials of the four parties of Zhejiang, Kunming, Xuanqi, and Qi to finish.

After all, this era is the beginning of the seventeenth century, not the twenty-first century.

There is no Internet, no mobile phones, no video, and although the common people know how to read and write because of the promotion of education by the emperors of the Ming Dynasty, they have no right to speak.

The newspaper and this traverser have a big killer of public opinion, but Zhu Youzhen knows that as long as the newspaper is released, there will be no possibility of promotion at all.

To put it mildly, in addition to the first generation of emperors who had this basic promotion, a small number of second and third generations of emperors such as Li Shimin and Zhu Di also had courage, and most emperors could only compromise with the family, gate lords, and gentry.

If Zhu Youzhen makes a newspaper, the end result will be that the newspaper can only be popular in the vicinity of the capital, and it will be difficult for the newspapers and periodicals put in the local area to even open them.

Most people are dull and easy to fan, especially in ancient times.

The emperor was too far away from them, and they trusted the officials who patrolled in front of their doors, and were in charge of the county orders of a county.

As long as this group of people fanned a little, the people would burn all of Zhu Youzhen's newspapers and periodicals.

It's difficult to promote even an imperial store, let alone grab the high ground of public opinion.

Unless Zhu Youzhen has hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses and dispatches them to more than 1,400 counties in the Ming Dynasty, it is nonsense to collect taxes, newspapers, and open imperial stores.

But it is too far to say that, and the most important thing at the moment is how to prove that the great hunger in Huaibei is true under the collusion of intertwined local officials, gentry and squires.

Yang Lian and the others can't fly, and neither can the Qiwei One Battalion under Zhu Youzhen, even if they send cavalry, it will take several days.

However, Zhu Youzhen still overestimated the crimes and punishments for officials in ancient times, and also underestimated the determination of the good emperor brother to punish the Zhejiang party.

"Luo Sigong!"

Zhu Youxiao said suddenly, causing the officials to feel a shock in their hearts.

"Long live the ministers, the ministers are in the ......"

Luo Sigong walked in from the palace gate and saluted, and Zhu Youxiao also said:

"Sun Gechen wants evidence, what do you think?"

"Long live Hui, Beizhen Fusi has found out in the hundred households of Huai'an Mansion in Nanzhili, this time Huaibei is hungry, and the people are not under 300,000!"

Luo Sigong responded loudly, and this sentence made the officials of the five parties in the palace sweat one after another.

But in the face of this kind of thing, Sun Ruyou said suddenly:

"Long live, the minister said, the people of Huai'an Mansion are less than one million, and the people of Huaibei are less than 400,000."

"If you follow what Commander Luo said, is it possible that the people of Huaibei are all dead?"

"It must be impossible, although the people's livelihood in Huaibei is withering, it is thriving."

Looking at Sun Ruyou's appearance, Zhu Youzhen really wanted to peel off this old man's face and see how thick it was!

The human and material evidence are all there, and this old guy still dares to refute it?

"Hooray!" At this time, Liu Yixian, the deputy assistant of the cabinet, stepped forward and said:

"If you want to investigate the matter of Huaibei, it is very simple, first arrest the officials of Huai'an Mansion and the new officials, and then the three divisions of the Criminal Department, Dali Temple, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate will interrogate the officials of Huai'an Mansion."

"Wan ......" Hearing this, Fang Congzhe wanted to step forward and say something else, but Zhu Youzhen preemptively said when he saw this:

"Brother Huang and Brother Zhu think what Liu Gechen said is very true!"

"Since that's the case...... Zhu Youxiao didn't want to give the Zhejiang Party a chance to quibble, so he directly glanced at the silent Sun Ruyou and said:

"Dismiss all officials in Huai'an and Xuzhou, detain the local Jinyi Wei Baihu Office, and reinstate Zhao Nanxing as the left servant of the Ministry of Officials, Gao Panlong as the right deputy of the Imperial History of the Imperial Palace, Gu Dazhang Criminal Department member Wailang, Xia Jiayu Officials Department Examiner Wailang, Zhou Zongjiannan Zhili Patrol Imperial History ......"

Zhu Youxiao dismissed the big and small officials of Huai'an Prefecture in one go, and even put Zhao Nanxing of the Donglin Party, who had been dismissed in Beijing several times before, into important positions such as the Ministry of Officials, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Criminal Department.

Who is Zhao Nanxing? That's the guy who has killed the five parties of Qichu, Zhejiang, Xuankun and Kun several times.

Zhu Youxiao's behavior is simply not too obvious, and he almost engraves the four words "kill the Zhejiang Party" on the door of his head.

"Long live it......"

"Long live the Sage!"

"Jingcha reform, once every three years, from the beginning of the first month of next year, retreat from the dynasty!" Seeing that the hundreds of officials shouted loudly, and the faction shouted Shengming, Zhu Youxiao also knew that if he continued like this, he would only fall into a quagmire.

Now that he has done everything he needs to do, it is time for the Donglin Party and the Zhejiang Party to play with each other.

Zhu Youxiao pulled Zhu Youzhen away, and Zhu Youzhen hurriedly instructed Wang An:

"Tell Lu Wenzhao to protect Yang Lu."

"Slave maid takes orders......" Wang An bowed slightly, and Zhu Youzhen was also pulled by Zhu Youxiao to the middle hall of Wenhua Palace.

Coming here, the quarrel in the front hall was much quieter, and Zhu Youxiao also said to him:

"In the next few days, don't worry about Huaibei and other things, just stay in the East Palace or Yanshan camp."

"yes, I see." Zhu Youzhen understands that the good royal brother is afraid that it will affect him.

After all, Yang Lu was brought back to the north by Shen Lian, and Yang Lian was a member of the Donglin Party, and his attitude before the meeting was much better for him.

Thinking about it this way, it is difficult for the five parties of Qichu, Zhejiang, Xuankun and Kun not to associate him with the Donglin Party.

So what we need to do now is to keep our doors shut and try to minimize the fight with these politicians.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youzhen also apologized to Zhu Youxiao:

"I'm outside Beijing, I don't know the thrill of the court, and it's not easy to leave my brother alone in the capital."

"Where?" Zhu Youxiao's face was full of smiles, and he said to the court just now:

"Recently, I'm going to let Admiral Zhongxian Governor Dongchang, then Luo Sigong and Baiguan eyebrows are eye-catching, and it's not easy to use, can you take a look at Lu Wenzhao?"

Zhu Youxiao was afraid that Zhu Youzhen thought that he was going to rob him, so he deliberately discussed, and where would Zhu Youzhen have that kind of thought, so he immediately smiled:

"If Lu Wenzhao is promoted, it's too late for me to be happy, how can I blame my brother?"

"What's more, if he can help my brother, I feel better."

"In that case." Zhu Youxiao said with a smile: "Then when the Huaibei matter is over, I will signal Luo Sigong to return to his hometown to retire and send Lu Wenzhao to the position of the commander of Jinyiwei." ”

"It just so happened that there was something wrong with Jinyiwei, and my brother thought of a way to tell him to rectify Jinyiwei and clean up these friends."

Zhu Youxiao's words are all indifferent tones of treating Wenchen as a chess piece, it seems that for him, Wenchen is just a chess piece, but this chess piece has certain rights.

This is the world, and Zhu Youzhen can't be a good royal brother, so he said:

"Since that's the case, then I'll go back to the Qingong Palace first, I'm a little hungry if I haven't eaten breakfast, and I'll compile some teaching materials for the children of Yanshan Institute later."

"Oh? Written by a younger brother? Zhu Youxiao became interested, and then patted Zhu Youjian's back and said:

"When the time comes, show me, I want to see what the teaching book written by my brother looks like."

Speaking of this, Zhu Youxiao also laughed, and Zhu Youzhen had no choice but to withdraw from the nave.

Looking at the back of Zhu Youzhen exiting the middle hall, Zhu Youxiao also slowly smiled and calmed down, and then glanced at Wang Andao behind him:

"In the future, the Chang Dynasty will be changed to a three-day dynasty."

"Slave and maid lead the ......" Hearing this, Wang An knew that Zhu Youxiao was also avoiding the court that might become noisy in the future.

The matter of Jingcha has now been decided, and Zhu Youxiao blocked the mouth of the Zhejiang Party with Huaibei hunger.

Does he really care about the life and death of the people of Huaibei? Maybe I care, but I don't care as much as Zhu Youzhen thinks.

Not only Zhu Youxiao, but even the entire court, except for a small number of officials from rich peasants and poor peasants, the other ministers did not care much.

Walking on the long road, countless pictures flashed in Zhu Youzhen's mind, all of which were about Chang Chao just now.

Is all that just now a political struggle? Probably not.

That kind of tactic is not clever, let alone masterful.

Nothing that can be put on the table is not very clever.

So, when will the real political struggle come? Where to come? Why are these political struggles so simple for the good royal brothers?

"Power ......," Zhu Youzhen muttered softly.

He understood the words of the good imperial brother, and the so-called political struggle was nothing more than a lack of power.

This is not modern, this is ancient.

This is a place where as long as you have power, you can control everything, military power, imperial power, local power......

These three powers, the civil officials elected by the local powers, are the most difficult.

But as long as the imperial power has the military power, no matter how difficult the local power is, it will not be able to resist the sharp knife after all.

"If that's the case, then I'll become the knife in the hands of the imperial brother, at least in this way, Shenzhou won't sink, and I won't die......"

Thinking of this, Zhu Youzhen's eyes became firm, and everything he did from beginning to end was nothing more than to save his life on the premise that Shenzhou would not sink.

It's just that now he has one more person who needs to be protected, and that is the good royal brother.

The memories in his head, as well as the love he has experienced in the past two months, are all given by the good royal brother.

Whether the good royal brother is also lying to him, he doesn't know this, from a historical point of view, maybe the relationship between the two, only when the good royal brother gives birth to an heir, will cracks begin to appear.

"Lu Wenzhao ......"

"Humble duty!" Hearing Zhu Youzhen call himself, Lu Wenzhao stepped forward, and Zhu Youzhen also looked up at the goose feather snow that was falling in the distance, and said softly:

"Protect Yang Lu, and then ask Lu Jianxing to seize the opportunity and sell enough silver."

"Humble command!" Lu Wenzhao bowed his head in response, and Zhu Youzhen also comforted himself in his heart.

"Transporting grain is not to promote the atmosphere, but to earn enough silver taels to build enough men and horses to break through this chaos."

"Only saving the people in the Huaibei area is a warrior, but it is the heroes who can make the people of the world peaceful!"

"Famine money is nothing compared to what I want to do!"

Zhu Youzhen walked to the palace in a deep and shallow manner, and then entered the study, and after asking someone to bring paper, pen and ink, he wrote according to his own ideas under Wang Chengen's grinding.

What the thousands of students in Yanshan Institute want to learn, Zhu Youzhen knows very well.

The first thing is to unify the mind, to be able to relate to the experiences of all the students in Yanshan Institute, and when they learn these things, they can think of their own experiences, and the second is to create a common enemy......

"Corrupt officials!"

"Yanshan Thought ......" looked at Zhu Youzhen writing these four words as the cover, Wang Chengen murmured softly.

In this textbook, Zhu Youzhen revised the homework he had done early in the light of the experience of the children of the border army.

In "Yanshan Thought", Zhu Youzhen first described how glorious it was for the soldiers of the border army to defend the country, and then cited the famous battles of the border armies of previous dynasties.

Li Mu and Yanmen Pass resisted the Xiongnu, Meng Tian but the Xiongnu 700 li, the empire swept across the desert, Li Jing broke the Turks, Hongwu Northern Expedition, Yongle swept the north, orthodox attack Luchuan, Huangzhong three victories......

Stories about the northern and southern border armies defending the country and expanding their territories were put on paper, and Zhu Youzhen drew a map of East and Central Asia from memory, marking the marching routes of one battle after another.

All this is to let the children of Yanshan Institute ignite pride, and pride is followed by pathos.

The death of Li Mu, the death of Meng Tian, Zu Di, Liu Kun, Wang Zhongsi, Ge Shuhan, Gao Xianzhi, Feng Changqing, Di Qing, Yue Fei, Qi Jiguang, Qi Jiajun......

He wrote about the deeds and endings of all these heroes, and he did not shy away from writing about the Qi family's army encounters in the Jizhou Change.

This scene of the story, Wang Chengen next to him couldn't help but tremble.

As Wang Chengen, who was born in the inner study hall, he has respected Yue Fei and Yue Wumu since he was a child, so when he saw so many heroes who were similar to Yue Fei, his anger was hooked.

If the anger is aroused, then it is necessary to find some people to release.

Guo Kai, Li Si, Zhao Gao, Wang Dun, Li Linfu, Yang Guozhong, Wen Yanbo......

Familiar names appeared on the paper, and how they slandered the famous generals and caused them to die in depression or be killed directly was also written.

The process of their framing was clearly written by Zhu Youzhen, but he did not mention the ending of these people.

What he had to do was to arouse the anger of the students when they read the book, and after arousing the anger, he mentioned the filthiness of the civil officials after the Han and Tang dynasties, as well as the absurdity of the military generals in the late Tang Dynasty.

He codified corrupt civil officials and promiscuous generals into class antagonists for the children of the border army, and then gave an answer to the "Huayi debate" that the Ming Dynasty had argued for more than 200 years.

"Whoever enters my China is China"

Not only that, but after this argument, he also needs to choose an external enemy, and this enemy cannot be the Houjin or the Mongols, just because the former is too small, and the latter is the object that the Ming needs to conquer.

The reason why the Ming Dynasty could not rule the Mongolian Plateau was that he attached too much importance to the Huayi debate, so he could not use this group of people as external enemies.

To occupy the Mongolian Plateau and assimilate them, Zhu Youzhen attributed the ethnic groups of Mongolia, Wusizang, Indochina Peninsula and other places to the Xia Dynasty in terms of ethnicity.

He established the external enemy as Japan.

This country, which has a population of 20 million people, is definitely enough for the Ming to take a lot of time to conquer.

The west is too far away, and the logistics and science and technology with Ming agriculture as the main body will at most recover to the west to the Tang Dynasty, to the north to the Yuan Dynasty, and to the south to the peak of the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, the question of the east has become an object that can be set on the fire of the mind.

From the Baijiangkou in the Tang Dynasty to the Imjin Rebellion more than 30 years ago, Japan has given a lot of hateful thoughts that can be studied in detail.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youzhen wrote a special book, and even Wang Chengen, who read it, breathed heavily, and he couldn't wait to pick up a knife, so he went to find a few would-be robbers to chop.

However, before he could get angry, Zhu Youzhen began to explain some thoughts that went deep into the soul calmly.

The main theme of the ideology is "loyal to the monarch, loving the country, loving the people and loving the family", the small ones love their families, the middle ones love the country and the people, and the big ones love the king.

There is no way to carry out ideological education, and it is impossible for Zhu Youzhen to practice republicanism and democracy in this era.

If he really did this, it would not be the one on the other side of the ocean who would be beheaded in advance, but himself more than a hundred years in advance.

Thinking so, Zhu Youzhen constantly improved the course of thinking, and stayed up little by little, for three consecutive days, starting to read books every morning, going to the Qianqing Palace in the afternoon to find a good imperial brother, and continuing to read books in the evening.

Small kiosk

Three days later, after his sleepless night, "Yanshan Thought" was written in front of him.

The number of words in this total chapter is about 16,000 words, because it is written in classical Chinese, and then Zhu Youzhen asks someone to write it in detail in vernacular, it can probably be expanded to about 156,000 words.

Yanshan's teaching, Zhu Youzhen's thinking is six years, and these 150,000 or 60,000 words are enough to make five years of teaching materials.

After writing "Yanshan Thought", Zhu Youzhen did not have the opportunity to rest, so he began to write out some of the mathematics in his memory.

The four words "Yanshan Arithmetic" appeared on the cover, and it was much easier than "Yanshan Thought" and "Yanshan Arithmetic".

After all, science and liberal arts are not the same, and every word and wrong punctuation in liberal arts will affect reading and comprehension.

But in science, as long as you write out the equation and solve it according to the equation, he is right and wrong.

What's more, Zhu Youzhen didn't want to train any mathematicians, all he needed was an official who could calculate accounts.

He has already thought about it, and in the first year, he will require the students of Yanshan Institute to understand literature and literacy, and in the second year, they will use both arts and sciences.

In the third year, students begin to take basic military and political courses, followed by classes in the fourth year.

From the fourth year onwards, students will be divided into two disciplines: officials and officers.

Therefore, the pressure on Zhu Youzhen is not too great at present, after all, knowing how to read and write can be handed over to the teachers selected by Guozijian, so it is time for Zhu Youzhen to compile textbooks from now until the end of next year.

Thinking so, Zhu Youzhen also let go of the pen in his hand, rubbed it before glancing out the window.

I saw that the night was dark outside the window of the palace, and only the stone candlestick in the courtyard was more conspicuous.

"Chengen" Zhu Youzhen shouted, and suddenly there was a sound of footsteps in the main hall, and Wang Chengen also walked into the study with a cup of hot tea.

"What time is it?" Zhu Youzhen took the hot tea and took a sip gently.

"Back to Your Highness, it's already six o'clock now." Wang Chengen responded, and Zhu You checked the time, but it was half past eight in the evening, and then asked Wang Chengen:

"Lu Wenzhao, where did they go south?"

Because of the explanation of the good imperial brother, Zhu Youzhen did not go out of the palace to send Yang Lian and them south, but the atmosphere of party struggle in the palace was very strong.

Every day when he walked out of the East Palace, he could hear the roar of filial piety coming from the Wenhua Palace.

The civil officials of the various parties began to go to war in an all-out manner, and the good emperor changed the Chang Dynasty to a three-day dynasty, so that those Zhejiang party officials who were anxious to die scratched their ears and cheeks, and could not find a chance to impeach the Donglin Party.

On the sparse? was immediately left by Zhu Youxiao and not dealt with, and went to the Qianqing Palace Gate to apply, but was told that Zhu Youxiao was slightly cold and could not meet the minister.

This scene suddenly reminded Baiguan of Emperor Wanli, but he was helpless.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youzhen sighed, and Wang Chengen also responded:

"Early this morning, Jin Yiwei replied, saying that he had arrived in Jinan Mansion, and if nothing else, he would be able to arrive in Huaibei the day after tomorrow."

"The day after tomorrow...... Zhu Youzhen rubbed his eyebrows, and then continued to ask:

"Jinyi Wei investigated the matter of the Guozijian, how many people have been found?"

"Back to His Highness...... Wang Chengen saluted slightly:

"There are 34,000 students in the Guozijian of Shuntianfu, and according to the requirements of His Highness, the family is poor, the net worth is innocent, and he is not keen on talking about state affairs, so far the Guozijian of Shuntianfu has only found 523 qualified people."

"At present, there are still more than 16,000 students whose family backgrounds have not been investigated, and I am afraid that after all of them have been investigated, there are less than 1,000 such people."

Of the 34,000 people, less than 1,000 met Zhu Youzhen's requirements, which just shows that he made the right choice.

He wants teaching, not a genius who governs the country.

What's more, there are more than 1,000 people, and it is completely possible to teach students in a ratio of 1:10, which is more conducive to students' knowledge absorption.

Even if the teaching and learning in the later period were insufficient, at that time, Zhu Youzhen could still find someone from Yingtianfu Guozijian.

I'm afraid that the number of students in the Heavenly Kingdom is not a small number, and it is enough to select seven or eight hundred people.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youzhen said to Wang Chengen and others:

"Let the people below not be afraid of making mistakes, and after the other candidates are chosen, they will be ordered to be taken away from the Guozi Prison, and they will be thirty taels in the Chinese New Year's Eve."

"Thirty taels?!" Wang Chengen was a little dumbfounded, feeling that the Yulu was too high, after all, the Chenglu of the seventh grade of the Ming Dynasty was only twenty-seven taels of silver.

But the Ming Dynasty's Yulu ...... It can only be said that it is really difficult to survive without corruption in the late Ming Dynasty, when prices were soaring.

The imperial court did not have enough taxes, even if Zhu Youzhen wanted to persuade the imperial brother to raise his salary, and he was unwilling to send the silver to the current group of self-interested civil officials.

He offered such a high price to keep this group of students from the Guozijian in Yanshan with peace of mind, and even moved their families to Yanshan Institute.

Thinking about it, Zhu Youzhen also added:

"If you don't want to be rich, you can also choose to exchange fifty acres of fertile land and separate it from the cultivated land of the Imperial Horse Supervisor."

"Slave and maid receive ......"

Wang Chengen saw that his Royal Highness was serious, so he could only obediently respond, and Zhu Youzhen saw that the time was almost up, so he also asked someone to enter the palace to untie his clothes, and then lay back to the palace and fell asleep.

He was waiting, waiting for the fermentation of the Huaibei Great Hunger Incident.

I don't know why, he has a hunch in his heart that in this matter, he can get some benefits that are beneficial to the imperial court.
