Daming: At the start of the showdown, Lao Zhu was stunned

Chapter 430 Li Shanchang's Plan
"Money method?" Old Zhu frowned.

He stood up, looked directly at Li Shanchang and said, "Don't you know how much trouble the disaster of the former yuan banknote law has caused?"

"The defeat of the Great Yuan was half of the river and half of the banknote law. Even we have heard that folk song." Serious, the people complain. People eat people, money buys money, have you ever seen it? A thief becomes an official, an official becomes a thief, and a fool is a fool. Alas, pitiful.'”

Lao Zhu recited the folk songs at the end of the Yuan Dynasty with compassion. At this moment, it seemed that he was no longer Hongwu Emperor, but turned back to the common people Zhu Chongba who had suffered so much.After reading, his face became serious, and he said to Li Shanchang: "You want us to issue money, do you want us to repeat the disaster of Yuan Court?"

"Superior, let me know." The other officials were already trembling with fright, but Li Shanchang was not afraid.Having been with Lao Zhu for so many years, he has already figured out the emperor's temper.

"Superior, Kaihe and Chaofa are indeed to blame for the defeat of the Yuan Court. But it does not mean that these two are necessarily the cause of disaster for the country and the people."

"The wise kings of all dynasties have also built the river. If they let it go, it will not only harm the people? It shows that the repair of the river itself has no interference with the disaster. It is the Yuan court that has many problems, and the opening of the river has been repaired. A bad thing."

Hearing this, Lao Zhu stopped being angry, and instead became thoughtful.

"Let's talk about changing banknotes. In fact, in the Song Dynasty, there was a 'Jiaozi', not only Yuanting issued banknotes." Li Shanchang talked eloquently.

"Since the Qin Dynasty, all dynasties have minted coins, and the world has become less and less copper. If I mint more copper coins in the Ming Dynasty, the money will not be enough. It must be a foregone conclusion. If the money is insufficient, the country will be insufficient. Coins are a must.”

"The chaos of the Yuan Court's banknotes and laws is all due to the stupidity of the Yuan Lord and the reckless actions of the officials. Just like the repair of the river, which should have been a good government, it has become a disaster for the Yuan Court to implement."

"And my Ming Dynasty officials rule Qingming, and there is a holy emperor on the throne, why is your majesty afraid of the law as a disaster?"

"You don't need to flatter us!" Old Zhu waved his sleeves, but he was half-trusted by Li Shanchang's words.He still has confidence in the fact that Daming must be clearer than Dayuan.Is the abuse of banknotes really due to the disaster of officials?
"What does your household say?"

The officials of the household department put their eyes on Yan Xizhe, the new secretary of the household department.Old Zhu also turned his head and looked at the young Shangshu.

Yan Xizhe is purely a junior in the officialdom who came up after he was resigned because the former household minister Haiyuan opposed the establishment of a cabinet.Due to his inexperience as an official and his young age, he has no binding force on the old officials, and he is only pushed out when he is questioned by the emperor.

Suddenly bearing so much pressure at this moment, Yan Xizhe suddenly broke out in cold sweat, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and say: "Your Majesty, what the Duke of Korea said is very true."

He tried his best to turn his brain, searching for the records in the history books. "During the nearly [-] years since Dayuan was established, it has not only issued the most authentic banknotes that have harmed the country and the people."

"Before there were Zhongtong banknotes and Zhiyuan banknotes. After their issuance, they did not harm the people. They have also successfully solved the worries of financial shortages for Dayuan several times."

"Really?" Old Zhu was dubious and thought over and over again.

"Forget it, you will retreat today. Let's think about it again."

"Yes."

When Yan Xizhe, Li Shanchang and others heard the words, they all bowed and stepped back.Before leaving Jinshen Hall, Li Shanchang glanced back at Lao Zhu who was still hesitant.

"It seems that the old man is indispensable among the government and the public." He thought quite proudly.The upper position was not economical, and Hu Weiyong and others were dismissed.Now, when faced with the problem of money, food, gold and silver, if you don't rely on him, Li Shanchang, who else can you rely on?

Although Hu Weiyong, the disciple who took over his prime ministership power, has fallen, but after a while, the day when he returns at an advanced age and regains power in the ruling and opposition parties is not far away.

With no power in his hand, how could he, Li Shanchang, be willing to sleep peacefully?
……

Not to mention that Lao Zhu is worried about the shortage of the Ming Dynasty treasury, here, Zhu Su, Fang Xiaoru, Xu Yungong and others are carrying out rectification activities in the Imperial College.

Before that, he was busy tinkering with the matter of digging the corners of Confucianism. Although Zhu Su was a sacrificial wine for the Imperial Academy, he never came to Yingmao of the Imperial Academy for a post.

After refuting Huang Zicheng and the launch of the hot air balloon, the foundation of Neo Confucianism was shaken, and Zhu Su was finally able to let go of his hands and feet and make large-scale changes to the Imperial College.

The first is to ban the old way of learning. In the compulsory studies of Guozijian students, delete many general and practical content, greatly reduce the time spent on studying various Confucian classics, and at the same time add arithmetic, agriculture, politics, etc. and other more practical courses.

Many professors of the Imperial Academy had negative comments on this matter, and some warriors even came to Zhu Su to object: "The classics of sages should not be ignored. Now Your Highness is reducing the time for studying the classics of sages, and instead teaching the students to learn the subtleties. Isn't this Did you misunderstand your son?"

Zhu Su didn't have a good look at this person, and he reprimanded him bluntly: "What is the existence of the Guozijian? It is to educate talents for the country! After these students complete their studies, most of them will serve as officials of the Ming Dynasty and guard the people."

"No matter in the future, it doesn't matter whether it's a small official county magistrate, or a minister's department, practical talents such as mathematics and agriculture are the skills that are really scarce in my Ming Dynasty."

"The Imperial College doesn't teach these things. Could it be that it has taught a group of officials who only know how to talk and spend the state money to support them, so that they will be able to do nothing when they become officials?"

After speaking, the backhand fired the outspoken warrior.

This incident caused an uproar in the Guozijian, and countless teachers blocked Zhu Su at the gate of the Guozijian, calling it admonishment, but in fact they wanted to use the power of the crowd to force Zhu Su to change his course.However, Zhu Laowu is not false at all, he is also a prince after all, do these old pedants really dare to imitate Confucius and punish Shao Zhengmao, and come to assassinate the king and kill him, and blood on the streets will not work?

If this is the case, he will look at these old scholars with admiration.

So Zhu Su made a backhand, and dismissed all these teachings that only know what to say.

Not only the students in the Imperial College were shaken by this, but also the entire scholar community was abuzz with discussions.Although the students of the Guozijian were silent because of this, and did not dare to defy Zhu Su, many of them took pleasure in other people's misfortune: without teaching, let's see how you can play with the many students of the Guozijian.

He can become a hot air balloon capable of flying into the sky, can he also transform into many Mr. Su Confucianism who are capable of preaching and teaching with a wave of his hand?

……

"Brother, don't worry, I already have a plan." In the prince's mansion, Zhu Su seemed to be an old man when faced with Prince Zhu Biao's inquiry.

"Mr. Kai, can't we still start students? Among the many students in the Imperial College, there are many who are stubborn and stick to Cheng Zhu."

"This is inevitable. After all, Cheng Zhu's way has been deeply rooted for a hundred years. For such students, even if they stay in the Imperial College, it will be a waste of my teaching resources. If I become an official in the future, I will be just a stupid official who only knows how to talk. "

"Directly remove them from the Guozijian, while reducing the number of people in the Guozijian, it can also correct the style of study and prevent the Guozijian students from being mixed."
