First Minister of Ming Dynasty

Therefore, to be able to get Zhang Ximeng's care, this reward is absolutely indispensable. It is estimated that he started as an earl, and maybe he could be a marquis!

Because it has long been said that the King of Wu defeated the King of Han and is about to ascend the throne.

It is a matter of course that the heroes of this war should be knighted.

We, our unlucky fate, really changed our luck!

Zhang Ziming couldn't help grinning stupidly, Zheng Yuchun stretched out his hand with a smile, took out a land deed, and handed it to him, as well as a house deed and some precious banknotes, but Zhang Ziming didn't know how to read, so he was satisfied. It was an official's complaint, and he was grinning... At this time, fortune tellers, beggars, and monks all came together.

The big guy frowned when he saw it.

"This, this is a land deed!"

Tian Qi?

Zhang Ziming was slightly taken aback. Forget it, if he didn't give him a title, he could just give him more land, which is enough to make him a rich man. Although he was a little regretful, he was still full of joy.

"How much? Yes, how many acres?"

The fortune teller shook his head, "It's not thousands of acres.

"That's a few hundred acres?" Zhang Ziming asked in surprise, he wouldn't be so stingy, would he?

"Only 65 acres!"

"what?

Zhang Ziming was shocked, he was stunned for a long time, he grinned helplessly and laughed at himself, "I, I just want twice as much land, I'm content.

After saying this, Zhang Ziming's expression quickly dimmed, his body swayed, and he almost fell down.

Later, I suddenly felt that the things in front of me were not set up, and I took down Anqing with my brain.I didn't think about anything while I was doing it.But afterward, I recalled that I took such a big risk. In the end, I only gave twice as many fields to Zhu’s army, usually about 65 to [-] mu. Although it may change according to the population and land conditions, [-] mu is indeed Indeed, it is double the amount of benevolence and benevolence, and it is indeed for oneself.

But why is my heart so lost?

Sure enough, when the person in power is not a person, he will never disappoint people. Everyone has a virtue.What Wu Wang, what Zhang Xiang, they are all the same, don't say anything, this heart is chilling, don't even try to warm up in this life, honestly take the land deed, go home and farm.

Anyway, starving to death.

Almost in an instant, Zhang Ziming fell from the peak of joy and anticipation, and his whole body was sluggish.

At this time, several of his crouching dragon and phoenix young friends couldn't help being angry.

The fortune teller was impatient, and he was still looking forward to becoming an official, but Zhang Ziming only gave dozens of acres of land to settle the matter, what could he do?

Here, "I, we have no power and no power, so we just bully people like this?" The fortune teller was heartbroken, "You, aren't you the most fair? Rewards are based on merit and justice. The monk also blushed and said angrily: "Amitabha, such a reward is really not convincing, we would rather not reward, but seek justice! "

The down-and-out artist panicked, he was very afraid that he would lose the reward, and he would go hungry every day in the future, and he didn't want to go hungry anymore... But the problem was that he couldn't get angry either!

The singer also has two backbones!

"Being a beggar for a lifetime is a beggar for a lifetime... You, you can't send us like a beggar... Although, I am almost like a beggar."

These few people besieged, and the other veterans also glared at them.

I heard that Zhu Jiajun is very kind to people. Is that how he treats people?

It's heartbreaking!

He grinned, "The boss is about to arrive. I'm too busy. I really can't explain clearly. You can see where this is, and after talking casually, Zheng Yuchun left in a hurry. He is indeed too busy, and he is dealing with Op." Xiang, dealing with so many prisoners of Chen Jun again.

To be honest, when he came here, he wanted to share the joy with a few people, but who knew that they didn't appreciate it, so he had no choice but to give them some time.

As soon as Zheng Yuchun left, several people were dumbfounded. Could it be that there is some mystery in this land?

Something's wrong, don't think we're all idiots unless we can grow dog's head gold in the ground!

This is not a good place, isn't it Xingzi County!

Is it worth it?

The fortune teller came over, and he looked at it for a long time, but he didn't know, but the monk had a lot of experience and had heard it mentioned before.

"Here, there seems to be an academy in this area, which is very famous."

'Academy?Where to study?But I can't read big characters! "Zhang Ziming didn't know why.

These people thought about it for a while, and followed what Zheng Yuchun said, and went around to inquire, don't make a mistake, and let down the good intentions.

As soon as they went out, they felt something was wrong without asking a few people.

When they turned around and came back, the crouching dragon and phoenix chicks were all dumbfounded.

"There is Wulaofeng in Xingzi County, and there is Bailudong Academy in the south of Wulaofeng. This academy is the best academy in the world!"

The fortune teller lowered his head, deeply moved.

"This land is, it was originally the property of Bailudong Academy. I really didn't expect that Zhu Jiajun would take it out and distribute it to meritorious soldiers. The academy's property is gone! Really, it really hurts the gentleness! I really don't like to hear it. "You should be clear-headed, you're a shitty scholar?Also hurt Sven?This field is not far from the academy. I heard that in times of peace in the past, scholars from all over the world came to live in the farm at the foot of the mountain. Those scholars were very generous, just a few tens of pennies!

As the number one academy in the world, Bailudong Academy is a leader in the southeast and a leader in the academic circle.The debate between Zhu Xi and Lu Jiuyuan at the beginning attracted countless scholars.

Since then, on important days, famous Confucian scholars come to give lectures, and thousands of people will come to come.

It's almost a fixed place for star chasing. Fans from all over the world come here just to see the idol's demeanor, and it's no problem to spend a lot of money.

So what makes this land valuable is not how much food it produces, but how close it is to Bailudong Academy. It’s just that Zhu’s army has occupied Jiangxi. Will Bailudong Academy be the same as before?

However, it is true that I can’t read Bainengdong’s books, but Zhang Ximeng is going to take over Bailudong Academy, where he will start teaching new learning and cultivating talents.

You can't go to school directly, but the children around you can go to elementary school or even elementary school to receive the top education. Maybe Zhang Xiang will give lectures in person. Your field is here, your house is here, and future generations may benefit Although infinity does not give a title, it gives an infinite possibility.

"Zhang Ziming, are you still dissatisfied?" The fortune teller leaned beside him and asked in a low voice.

Zhang Ziming gritted his teeth, and said with a sullen face: "Heaven and earth are so gracious, I, I am willing to die a hundred times for King Wu!"

The fortune-teller was stunned, grinned and said, "I just got [-] mu, which is half less than you, and I'll just die fifty times... But I said, should we hurry up to get married, hurry up and have a baby, don't waste it What a godsend opportunity!"

As he spoke, he glanced at the monk next to him, and said slyly: "You don't have a son, so don't join in the fun, just give it up!"

The monk was anxious, "What are you talking about? Poor monk, poor monk, I can't return to lay life!"

Chapter 363 Zhu Yuanzhang's question

"Brother, why don't you just share the fields of Bailudong Academy with me." Zhu Ying said vaguely, chewing on the buns.

Zhang Ximeng stared, "To put it lightly, it's a treasure land of geomantic omen, and is it something you can covet?"

Zhu Ying was greatly surprised, his credit is not enough?

The little guy stuffed half of the bun into his mouth, swallowed it whole without chewing twice, stared at Zhang Ximeng, and said dissatisfiedly: "I've guarded Fuliang! Zhang Dingbian, Chen Youliang's number one general, I Having blocked him for so many days, in terms of credit, he can still compare to Zhang Ziming and the others, so why don't you give me 35 mu of land?"

"no!"

Zhang Ximeng once again flatly refused, "Don't even think about it, kid, the rewards and punishments must be fair, this is not your thing!"

"Yes, but I want it!" Zhu Ying said slyly: "Are you planning to rob Bailudong Academy and give lectures here? After a few years, here will be your disciples, ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, Will they all come from here in the future? I will occupy a place in advance and have children in the future, so let them follow their uncle, so they can make a fortune!

Zhang Ximeng stared at him angrily, extremely helpless, "You can't speak well, kid? What do you mean I robbed Bailudong Academy? You figured it out, the academy is not someone's private property, even if it used to be, it was the bad government of the previous dynasty , needs to be corrected. I just suggested to the lord that the school should be reopened, but I am not responsible for it, and I am responsible, but it is just like the Guozijian Jijiu. They are all talents of the country. When will they be my disciples? Is it? You hate me for not dying, and you have to put charges on me, are you willing?"

Zhu Ying was stunned, puffed her cheeks and said, "You denied it?"

Now it was Zhang Ximeng's turn to hesitate, and Zhu Ying immediately added, "Looks like I guessed right, only the negative is true."

In the next second, Zhu Ying realized that her elder brother's face had turned black. Sure enough, no one is better at provoking Mrs. Zhang than me...Zhu Ying made a gesture to run, grabbing the two buns,

Wait a minute to perform a unique skill, and make the buns disappear while running away.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Ximeng just stared, and finally sighed, "I told my lord that you may be allowed to guard one side in the future, and there is a high probability that it will be Yunnan."

Zhu Ying was stunned, the muscles on his face moved, there was anger and disappointment in his eyes, and finally he just muttered angrily: "As expected, I will be driven away,

No wonder you had to give me the fields of Bailudong Academy!You don't want to see me that much!

After saying a word, Zhu Ying grabbed two buns and walked outside.

Zhang Ximeng was taken aback... He had been thinking about it for a long time before he found an opportunity to find a good position for Zhu Ying on the Mushou side.But Zhang Ximeng forgot that what he thought was a good place, Zhu Ying didn't think so!

In the past few years, the two of them have seen each other almost every day except for their own work outside. It is understandable that the little guy is unwilling to separate.Did not discuss with him,

It's because he was sloppy, so it's no wonder he was angry.

Zhang Ximeng was thinking about how to explain to Zhu Ying, but the kid came back with a playful smile, pulled up the chair, and sat down beside Zhang Ximeng. .

"Brother, I've been angry. Before I go to Yunnan, don't drive me away. We meet every day, just like a family."

The little guy said with a smile, but his eye circles were red.

Zhang Ximeng was slightly startled, and suddenly felt so uncomfortable in his heart!

He put his hand on Zhu Ying's shoulder, "Silly boy! What does it mean to be like a family? Even if you really have brothers, it's not as close as our life-long friendship! I, I arranged for you to go to Yunnan in the future, in fact, I want you to show your strength. , There is a vast world there... Naturally, there are many dangers and obstacles, if you don't want to, I won't force you.

do you understand me?

Zhu Ying rolled her eyes, nodded and said, "I understand. You mean to let me do something. In fact, no one can ask for the good deed of guarding one side. I, I am just a little bit reluctant. When I grow up Just click, it's okay! It's okay!

Zhang Ximeng stretched out his hand and pinched Zhu Ying's face, "If you grow up or not, the brotherhood will only increase and will not decrease. Your Mu family is gone, and the Zhang family has nothing to do with me. We are all floating Ping, if you connect with each other, you have a little foundation!"

Zhu Ying was overjoyed. He stared at Zhang Ximeng and said stupidly: "Brother, if you say that, you won't care if I mess around, will you?"

"Yeah! Of course I don't...don't care!"

Zhang Ximeng raised his fist and hit Zhu Ying.

"You little bastard, a filial son comes from the head of a stick, and a brother comes from a fist! If you dare to talk to me, your skin will itch!" Zhang Ximeng chased Zhu Ying, and after a good beating,

These two brothers are brothers and sisters, they are very happy, and they love each other very much.

After Chu Ying beat Zhu Ying up, Zhang Ximeng felt more at ease, and his thinking was also very clear.

His disposition of Bailudong Academy is actually the result of long-term deliberation and careful consideration... First of all, he took over Bailudong Academy and turned this general forum of Neo-Confucianism into the birthplace of new learning.

Secondly, the academy is not only an academic center, but also often a big landlord.

Take Bailudong Academy as an example, the entire Xingzi County, Jiangzhou, and many lands to the south, add up to 10,000+ mu or so.

And this is still the result of the continuous decline of the Yuan Dynasty, which is far less than the heyday.

How can we collect taxes on the field of running a school and the affairs of scholars?

Isn't this looking down on scholars and degrading gentleness!

If the imperial court wants to promote education, it must support the academy and the school, and it must give people land... The imperial court grants land, local purchases, and gentry donations, which constitute the main source of the academy's land property.

Especially donations from gentry. After all, the land property of the academy is not taxed, and the [-] cents saved are perfect.

The same is true for temple property, family property, and charity land for the poor and orphans... Anyway, whenever possible, they will try their best to avoid taxes.

Just one item of school land, in the late Ming Dynasty, some mansions had more than [-] mu!Needless to say, this kind of place with absurdly many schools must be a place where cultures gather and talents come forth in large numbers... People have contributed a lot, so what's wrong with evading taxes?

Dare to haggle over every detail with scholars, believe it or not, you will become a treacherous villain every minute!

This time, Zhang Ximeng distributed all the land around the Bailudong Academy to the meritorious soldiers, which was tantamount to completely cutting off the foundation of the academy's land.

If you want to use the banner of the academy, don't even think about the good thing of annexing the land.

No one can escape the imperial grain and national tax!

And there is a saying that, if you are close to the water, you will get the moon first, and if you are close to the academy, it will be more convenient.Especially now that the transportation is inconvenient, those who can travel and study everywhere are basically rich people.

Zhang Ximeng gave the land property to these soldiers, and then provided convenience for their children, allowing these people to enroll in schools and become supporters of the new school. It is true that doing so may not be really fair.

But instead of letting the gentry revive their corpses and restore power, it is better to leave the opportunity to their own people.

At least those young juniors who were lucky enough to enroll in the college after being divided into the land of the academy, when they grow up, they will not dig up their ancestral graves. Is it wrong to say that the land is equal?

Even if there are really a few unworthy descendants, it is estimated that the mainstream is still willing to maintain the policy of equalizing land.

Therefore, education is fundamental!

In front of me is a huge building of Neo-Confucianism. Just cutting off a few pillars, smashing a few walls, and destroying the decorations on it can't really completely destroy it. You have to dig the graves of your ancestors continuously to have any hope of success.

Zhang Ximeng was so well-intentioned... At the time when Zhang Ximeng was busy, Zhu Yuanzhang led the army to Jiangzhou in batches from the direction of Fuliang.

It was Hua Yun's cavalry who fought in the vanguard. They were aggressive, and they were the first to ferry over.

When Hua Yun saw Zhang Ximeng, he immediately expressed his merits, "Mr. Zhang, this time I fought against Zhang Dingbian, but the flag was won. He wanted to run away, but I beat him back. The damage was heavy. Even Zhang Dingbian was almost defeated. If I kill him, I will avenge Chang Yuchun, sir, from now on, you have to help our cavalry talk more Zhang Ximeng was startled, Huayun defeated Zhang Dingbian?

It seems that Hua Yun died at the hands of Chen Youliang in history, but now he has won a complete victory, it seems that his fate has indeed been changed.

Thinking of this, Zhang Ximeng was in a good mood, "Zhang Dingbian is nothing. The real mission of the cavalry is to fight against the cavalry. When will the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains, confront the Mongolian cavalry, win the battle, sweep the desert, and seal the wolves to the Xuxu, that will be true!" It’s time for you to be proud of your true skills!”

Hua Yun nodded immediately, "Sir, I would like to follow the instructions... By the way, sir, you see that the Fengshui of Bailudong Academy is good, can you give me a field?"

Zhang Ximeng was stunned, "You, how do you know?"

Hua Yun said with a sullen face: "Sir, don't ask, I just want to know, can you give me a piece?"
