It was late at night when Zhang Yun returned home, but Zhang Juzheng was still waiting for him to come back, and as soon as Zhang Yun entered the mansion, he was notified by the steward, Zhang Juzheng asked him to go to the study, saying that there was something important to discuss. Zhang Yun immediately walked towards Zhang Juzheng's study, pushed open the door, and saw that Zhang Juzheng was still writing a recital, the general meaning of the content was to persuade and encourage Emperor Wanli. Seeing this, Zhang Yun secretly said in his heart, alas, why do you like to be someone else's parent so much, the little emperor is almost 20 years old, Zhang Juzheng has always treated him like a child, no wonder his house was raided after his death.

Zhang Juzheng saw Zhang Yun walk in, put down the pen, raised his head, looked at Zhang Yun coldly and said, "The virtuous nephew is really majestic in front of the emperor today."

Seeing this, Zhang Yun had no choice but to quickly apologize: "My nephew is at fault, and I hope my uncle will punish him." ”

After hearing this, Zhang Juzheng asked with interest, "Oh? So tell me, what is wrong with you? ”

Zhang Yun said with a straight face: "I shouldn't have confronted you in front of Your Majesty. ”

Zhang Juzheng listened, slapped his hand on the table, and said angrily: "I'm angry because you flattered the emperor today and like to say what the emperor likes to hear, if you take power, what's the difference between you and Liu Jin?" Zhang Yun heard that Zhang Juzheng was buttoning him with such a big hat, and couldn't help muttering: "Liu Jin is a eunuch, and I am not a eunuch." ”

Zhang Juzheng heard his muttering, so angry that his beard was crooked, and he scolded sharply: "Think about your father Zhang Ren, how arrogant he is, as a courtier, you must first be upright, otherwise, how can you be a good courtier?" ”

Zhang Yun was afraid that Zhang Juzheng would continue to nag, so he hurriedly begged for mercy: "My nephew knows that he is wrong, my nephew will be by the emperor's side in the future, he must follow his uncle's teachings, be cautious in his words and deeds, and be His Majesty's courtier, if there is anything wrong with His Majesty, I will definitely point it out to him." Zhang Yun has another idea in his heart, the ghost is going to contradict his top boss, and only a tenacious person like you can dare.

After Zhang Juzheng heard Zhang Yun's words, he no longer continued to pursue Zhang Yun's performance during the day. Turning to Zhang Yun, he asked, "What are your plans for the future?" Staying by the emperor's side, have you ever thought about continuing to gain fame? Your father's greatest wish before his death was to be able to be named on the gold list, and now that he is dead, this last wish must be fulfilled by you. ”

Zhang Yun couldn't help but have a big head after hearing this, although he had experienced the college entrance examination, but he didn't know anything about the Bagu Wen in this era, don't look at him as a show talent now, if he dares to take the exam, he will be exposed immediately. Zhang Yun had to stabilize Zhang Juzheng first, and said helplessly: "Uncle, the little nephew is now in the middle of the road, and there is a widowed mother and a sister left in the family, and now he still needs to support his mother and sister, I am afraid it is difficult to have the energy to continue studying." With that, he lowered his head and twisted his thigh so hard that he could squeeze out a few tears.

Zhang Juzheng still wanted to say something, but when he saw Zhang Yun's appearance, he wanted to stop talking, and finally had to sigh helplessly: "Okay, don't be in a hurry to study, you are still young, you are now the emperor's companion, and you have enough family funds in the future, so continue to study, but remember, don't completely abandon your studies." ”

Zhang Yun nodded in response to Zhang Juzheng.

Seeing this, Zhang Juzheng waved his hand and let Zhang Yun go down, and then continued to improve his new policy. Zhang Yun looked at Zhang Juzheng's appearance and thought to himself, should I tell him something about his new deal.

Seeing that he didn't leave immediately, Zhang Juzheng raised his head and asked, "What else do you have?" ”

When Zhang Yun saw Zhang Juzheng asking him, he also came back from his stunned state, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Uncle, do you know that there are still many problems in your new policy?" ”

When Zhang Juzheng heard this, he was also stunned, and asked with a smile: "Oh? Tell me about my new policy, what are the other problems? ”.

After Zhang Yun got Zhang Juzheng's permission, he cleared his throat and began to speak: "Uncle's new policy is good in intention, in the past 10 years, my Ming Dynasty's national strength has also improved, but has my uncle ever thought about whether there are some problems with your inspection of officials, if the tax of a county is regarded as almost the only assessment standard, then for those poor counties, is it not fair, they have to squeeze the people fiercely in order to be promoted." Secondly, there are too few serious officials in my Ming Dynasty, in addition to the county order, the chief bookkeeper, the county official and other officials, the other officials are all served by the locals, and their income is not guaranteed, so they have to continue to search for the people, the people are afraid of their official status, and they have always dared to be angry and dare not speak, why don't my uncle choose some of them to become official officials, so that they will do a good job for the country. Third, my Daming is still too poor, even if you work hard to implement the new policy, uncle, but the people are still not living well enough. ”

When Zhang Juzheng heard this, he couldn't help but blush, that's right, Daming is still too poor, even after the new policy, the people of Daming still have to watch the sky to eat, once there is a natural disaster, they have to sell their children and daughters.

Seeing Zhang Juzheng's appearance, Zhang Yun continued with a smile: "Actually, there is still a way to solve my Daming's poverty. Zhang Yun said and took Zhang Juzheng to the side of the map, pointing to the sea, Zhang Juzheng asked suspiciously: "You mean the sea?" ”

Then he said righteously, "No, my ancestors of the Ming Dynasty are not allowed to open the sea, even if the old man is the first assistant, if he dares to set this precedent, there are many people who impeach me, no." ”

Seeing Zhang Juzheng's appearance, Zhang Yun muttered to himself in his heart, what you are doing now, are there still fewer people who impeach you? Zhang Yun could only continue: "Uncle, of course I don't want to open the sea, but just organize a few fishing boats and let people go out to fish, after all, after the fish is beaten, it can be stored for a long time with salt, and it can be used as rations for the people." ”

After Zhang Juzheng listened, he also nodded and agreed, and then Zhang Yun's words shocked Zhang Juzheng, Zhang Yun looked at Zhang Juzheng who had already taken the bait, and continued with a smile: "I reform in the Ming Dynasty, or we must start with agriculture first, after all, agriculture is the people, the people are the country, why don't I Ming select experienced old farmers, give them the official position of agriculture, and let them guide the farmers of the entire Ming Dynasty to carry out reasonable planting?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Juzheng was shocked for a long time and couldn't recover, and after a long time, Zhang Juzheng trembled and said: "The virtuous nephew is really talented, but there is no precedent for farmers to be officials since ancient times, I'm afraid this move is a little inappropriate."

Zhang Yun thought about it and felt that it was right, after all, although it was said that the scholars were farmers and industrialists, the scholars still looked down on the peasants very much, at least the current concept was like this. Zhang Yun had no choice but to adopt a compromise approach, adopt the method of applying for jobs, give money, that is, the so-called contract workers, and not give them the establishment.

After Zhang Juzheng listened to Zhang Yun's words, he immediately returned to his seat, took out a pen and paper, wrote down everything Zhang Yun said, and prepared to show the little emperor before leaving.
