Chapter 44 Joy
"Thank you, Mr. Qin, for your explanation!" After a long time, Zhu Biao remembered to salute Qin Yu and said respectfully.
He was grateful to Qin Yu from the bottom of his heart.
In addition to gratitude, there is also admiration from the bottom of my heart: this Teacher Qin is really different from all the Confucian teachers, he didn't teach anything on the first day, but he untied the knot in my heart in an understatement.
He saw into my heart at a glance and saw what was lying in the deepest part of my heart. Then I used a conversation like a spring breeze and rain to unravel the knots in my heart.
This is the real teacher!
Like a strict teacher, he is also like a loving father!
This kind of education, Song Lian will not, and no other Confucian will not.
They only know how to educate strictly, let students read the boring Four Books and Five Classics every day, and only take 18 days off every year, completely treating students as a tool for reading. And I don't talk to the students at all, I don't know what the students think in their hearts.
They are the tools for teaching, and the students are the tools for reading.
And by Mr. Qin's side, everyone works together, like good friends, very kind.
Mr. Qin and Song Lian are very different.
"Mr. Qin is so extraordinary, he can see through us at once." Zhu Di and the other princes also secretly thought in their hearts, "I thought he had no real skills when I saw him so young before, but now it seems that our Teacher Qin can be called unfathomable!" ”
Terrible!
No wonder he was able to squeeze out Song Lian, Gao Qi, and other great Confucians. One person squeezed out a group of teachers from the East Palace, such as the prince and the prince, the prince and the young master, the prince and the young master, and so on.
No wonder my father wants us to learn from him, and his actions are extraordinary.
His education, though small and silent, nourishes all things. Let people invisibly, be influenced by him and be educated by him.
"You guys can rest assured." Qin Yu said, "If Uncle Huang is strict with you in the future, I will talk about him." Therefore, with Mr. Qin, you can completely relax your mind and concentrate on learning scientific and cultural knowledge from the teacher. ”
"Thank you, Mr. Qin." When the four princes heard this, they were grateful.
Suddenly, they also felt relaxed. To them, the palace, although prosperous, is like a cage. But when it comes to Mr. Qin, he can fly freely like a bird that has flown out of a cage.
"Uncle Xu, I'll cut the wood with you." At this time, Zhu Di walked to Xu Da's side again and said. When Zhu Yuanzhang recruited Chen Youliang, Zhu Di had been to Xu Da's army, so the two were very familiar.
Xu Da even taught him martial arts with his own hands.
"Good, good!" Xu Da laughed, "It's really a good son of the village chief, we can go up the mountain to hunt together in the future." We used to teach you hunting skills, you haven't forgotten it. ”
"No, no." Zhu Di said.
Several teachers and students worked together in the courtyard of the Lu family ancestral hall, and they were happy.
……
Qin Yu was happy with a group of students and enjoyed the teaching life of the landscape and countryside.
On the side of Ying Tianfu, there are dark clouds, and the mountain rain is about to come, and the wind is full of buildings.
Zhu Yuanzhang's will to let the minister of civil and military affairs sell his words for five million taels a piece, and if he can't sell it, he will be killed, like a bombshell falling on the surface of the lake, and one stone stirs up a thousand waves.
Let all the ministers worry, as if they were on the edge of the abyss, and their hearts are panicked.
They are all facing unprecedented tests, and they are all secretly thinking about countermeasures.
……
Prime Minister's Office.
"The door is closed, and no one can come in without the old man's orders." Zuo Prime Minister Li Shanchang said sternly to his subordinates, and then walked into the inner hall with Hu Weiyong, who had just arrived at the house.
"The student has seen Eun Gong." Hu Weiyong first made a big gift to Li Shanchang.
"Hu Weiyong, you are your own person, so you don't need to be polite here." Li Shanchang said with a heavy face, and went straight to the point, "What do you think of this will made by His Majesty today?" ”
Turning his head, there was a banner on his right-hand hand that read 'Patriotic Businessman'.
"Could you please tell me what you think first?" Hu Weiyong said.
"The old man thinks that Your Majesty is taking the opportunity to rectify corruption in the court." Li Shanchang said, "If anyone can come up with five million taels of silver, it will definitely be a catastrophe in the end, because the emperor's words can't be sold at all, and the ministers who want to pay for it can only pay for it themselves." Therefore, the old man thinks that if he 'sells', he will lose his head, and if he can't sell it, he will be fine. ”
Li Shanchang actually saw that Emperor Zhu's will was definitely not that simple, but he didn't say it, but deliberately hid it. He has now handed over most of the power of Zhongshu Province to Hu Weiyong, and he himself has become an idle person. So he has always left everyone with the impression of being old and incompetent.
In fact, if he can get to the first position in Zhu Yuanzhang's civil official group, he will definitely not be incompetent. He put forward the original claim of being the king of the vast accumulation of grain, and he had great wisdom.
"Grace Gong, the students don't think so." Hu Weiyong said, "If the emperor wants to use this method to find out corruption, the method is inevitably a little clumsy, and five million taels of silver, the amount is obviously too large." ”
"Since Your Majesty is not trying to find out corruption, it is to enrich the treasury, and now in the early days of the Ming Dynasty, there were many places to use money. Is it feasible for ministers to enrich the treasury with their own possessions and show their loyalty to His Majesty? Li Shanchang said, "Although my Li family's property is not much, it should barely be enough." ”
Li Shanchang's family is very rich, and since he followed Zhu Yuanzhang, members of the family have also been promoted along the way. His younger brother Li Cunyi became the younger brother of Taifu Temple, and Li Shanxin, the clan brother of Taifu Temple, became the official of the Northwest Frontier. It can really be said that one person has attained the Tao and the chicken dog has ascended to heaven, and the Li family has gradually formed the prototype of a big family. Moreover, he is also friendly with many Huaixi nobles, and it is not difficult to come up with five million taels.
"Engong, I'm afraid I'll get angry if I do this." Hu Weiyong said, "In the past, it was more common for officials to take out money and hand it over to the treasury to show their loyalty, and they would also be rewarded by the emperor for this. But this time, the situation is clearly different. ”
"You can't pay for it yourself, and you can't sell it, and when the time comes, the emperor will blame ......it," Li Shanchang said, "Although it won't kill the head, it is inevitable to dismiss the official and eliminate the knight." Hu Weiyong, what do you think? ”
"The students felt that they should look at the situation first." Hu Weiyong said, "In the face of major events, we must first stabilize ourselves, and we can't be in a hurry." Let's take a look at how the emperor sold the 50 million taels first, and then we can say that it's too late. ”
"You're right." Li Shanchang breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "Wei Yong, do you think that above the court, will anyone really be stupid enough to pay for His Majesty's words?" ”
