Chapter 46: Thirty Years in Hedong and Thirty Years in Hexi
"Your Royal Highness, filial piety has read this book through."
Fang Xiaoru respectfully handed the book in his hand to Zhu Xiongying, and Zhu Xiongying was not idle during this time, and arranged a few books for Fang Xiaoru to familiarize him with this book.
The title of the book is "Taixue Construction Examination".
Zhu Xiongying took the book and said with a light smile: "It's almost curfew, why doesn't Professor Fang come back in the future?" ”
Huangming's Taixue is already preparing for construction, and under Zhu Xiongying's recommendation, Fang Xiaoru will take up the position of professor, because Taixue is independent of Guozi's prison, so Zhu Xiongying decided to make a fuss in Taixue.
"It's just that I asked His Royal Highness the Emperor Sun for advice because of some questions!"
Fang Xiaoru said sincerely.
Zhu Xiongying asked him to do it, and said with a smile: "Professor Fang, please speak." ”
Fang Xiaoru took a deep breath and said, "First, this book focuses on cultivating small officials, not officials, why is this? ”
Zhu Xiongying asked Zhou Kuan to bring two cups of rock sugar pears to replenish his throat, and Fang Xiaoru said while drinking, during this time, Fang Xiaoru was used to the style of His Royal Highness the Emperor Sun from time to time to eat and replenish water, but after thanking him, he did not move the rock sugar pear.
"If there is no microscopic disease in the body, ask a good doctor for peace?"
"In the Three Kingdoms, there is no need to say that Qiu Jian said, my emperor Ming has no shortage of officials now, take 10,000 steps back and say, who wouldn't be an official? Being an official and being an official are two different things, the official only needs to sit high in the yatang, and the implementation of the policy depends on the master and the village officials, and the officials in the yamen. ”
"These little officials are my Ming's physical illness!"
"Hug Puzi has a saying, all diseases will not be cured, and you will live forever? Internal diseases are not born, external troubles are not entered, my emperor Ming's current grassroots officials, one to inherit Yuan Zuo, and the other is actually hereditary replacement, more stable than the county official, Lao Tzu is the cell head, the son is fast, the son is fast, the son is fast, the grandson is the cell head, he has a few unofficial and unemployed officials, compared to the county lord at ease, don't you hear Zhou Bo's words, 'I taste the millions of troops, but I know the value of the prison officials!' ’”
Zhou Bo was imprisoned for his crimes, tortured by the little jailer in every way, and finally gave the jailer a huge bribe before he picked up his life, which made Zhou Bo, the founding general of the Han Dynasty, send out I once commanded a million soldiers, but I don't know the value of the jailer until today!
Fang Xiaoru's eyes flickered and nodded.
"Yes, not only the jailer, just say that this tax collector, many tax collectors, is the family of the big businessman, he went to collect taxes, the common people will make things difficult in every way, but their own family closes their eyes and does not listen, it seems that there are four famous families of Mou, Liu, Wang and Zhang, they enter the government with learning, to protect business, to raise business to learn, a county, all his four words, four people, township officials and county officials, Xian for the descendants, such officials, hidden dangers are quite deep."
Zhu Xiongying took a few sips of rock sugar pears and asked, "Then if Professor Fang becomes an official, what can you do?" ”
Fang Xiaoru smiled ashamedly: "If it were me, I would only be able to make friends with the party for personal gain, first pull the clan relationship, the low-level township officials are used by me, it is my own clan, I can implement the emperor's government strategy and collect the rent and grain, otherwise the township officials and businessmen collude, even if I have the talent to reach the sky, no one is available, and there is no use." ”
"Since ancient times, being an official has been the same truth, although filial piety wants to do some political things for the emperor, but he is also ......"
Zhu Xiongying waved his hand.
He pointed to Zheng He, who was training with Zhou Kuan and learning martial arts.
"Professor Fang, you don't have to be like this, now my emperor Ming is newly opened Taixue, just to break these door valves, the words of a family is the words of an official, the people only know that they don't know my emperor, we are too learned, mainly to cultivate officialdom officials, but also to give false ranks, and excellent performance is given to the official, in the future, they will learn, in various places as officials, in the early days it seems that there are not many small officials, and when the later Taixue is opened all over the Ming Dynasty, everywhere, the small officials are not a family!"
"At that time, there will no longer be a situation where Lao Tzu is the head of the cell, his son is a fast catcher, and his grandson is a servant.
"This ......"
Fang Xiaoru was taken aback.
His eyes wrinkled, he thought for a while, and his eyes flashed with surprise: "But in this way, where did the township officials come from?" If the court allocates it, it will be at least one million stones a year, and if the court does not allocate it, they will definitely exploit the people! ”
Zhu Xiongying pursed his lips and smiled bitterly: "Why don't I know? Even if the imperial court allocates Lu, Lu rice will be embezzled, five hundred miles out of Yingtian, the county prince even dares to have a showdown at will on the taxes prohibited by the imperial court's order, and after the accident, he will be thrown to the little officials to take the blame, how can I not know the style of the officials of the emperor? ”
"As long as the court says that the household department will pay this money, the civil officials will definitely be happy, and they can add more showdowns when collecting taxes, if the household department does not come out, and the local government collects it on its own, then they are even happier, so they will definitely be willing to give the township officials money."
"The only thing they don't want is that the village officials can also be officials and give them official ......."
Zhu Xiongying picked up a piece of bluestone brick, smashed the bluestone brick with an inch of fist, and said with a light smile: "I didn't expect them to be willing, because Zhu Undefeated's predecessors who taught me these knowledge said that reading can't save the Ming Dynasty......"
"But the water drops are worn by the stone, and the work is broken, you see a month ago, I can't even make a white mark on this bluestone brick, but now it can be broken like sand, as long as I learn too much to open a hole, leave a ladder for the little officials, last for one hundred and eighty years, my emperor will have a official to rule the Qingming day."
Fang Xiaoru nodded heavily.
"His Royal Highness the Emperor Sun, filial piety will definitely do his best to cultivate talents for the Emperor Ming in Taixue!"
"Okay, I ask you to find some genius children and bring them into Taixue to be trained by me personally, is this matter famous?"
Daming is an era that believes in genius prodigies, and there have always been all kinds of geniuses here, such as Zhang Juzheng, who became famous at the age of twelve, and Sanyang of the Yongle Dynasty, all of whom became famous at a young age......
Changing the rule of the Ming Dynasty is not an overnight thing.
But at this time, the seeds of Daming can be planted, the seeds of the future.
"Oh, there is a child in the filial piety master, it is the Qilu people's clan, named Wu Zhong, nine years old, is a disciple of Liu Bowen, a sincere uncle, less alert, good at calculation, filial piety has sent someone to send a letter, will come to Beijing in the near future, in addition, filial piety is ready to set off to various places to recruit all kinds of outstanding children for Taixue."
Wu Zhong...... Is he the kind of genius prodigy who is known far and wide? ”
Zhu Xiongying asked with a pout.
Fang Xiaoru nodded.
Zhu Xiongying scratched his head, his eyes flashed: "The surname is Wu, it's okay...... Remember, if there is that kind of genius prodigy who is famous far and wide, or a well-known waste firewood, you have to carefully investigate it, especially the people with the four surnames of Xiao Lin Ye Shi! ”
Fang Xiaoru was stunned: "Uh, Xiaoru understands." ”
"Focus on the tragic family background of both parents who died, and the concubine was kicked out of the family!"
"Yes, there are also those who have been divorced because of their families, especially to find out the origin!"
Although Fang Xiaoru was a little confused, he also nodded.
Zhu Xiongying pursed his lips and thought about it, clenched his fists and said, "Hey, I seem to have forgotten something......"
His eyes lit up and he shouted: "By the way, if there is a prodigy or waste wood, who is not very old but shouts thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, don't bully the poor young people, this kind of attention should be paid more attention to!" ”
"Oh yes, yes, yes, there's the surname Tang!"
"In addition, you go to various places to select children, do not meet the above conditions, after listening to you, you will come to Taixue to take care of the benefits of eating and managing the office, but you frowned, and retreated behind everyone, no need to ask, wearing brocade clothes and guards tied up to Yingtian!"
