First Minister of Ming Dynasty

Zhu Yuanzhang was thinking about it when he suddenly thought of something, "Mr. Zhang, you said that this school will recruit children from ordinary families in the future? Do you have this intention?"

Zhang Ximeng said: "That's true. What I mean is that this school should open to the whole country and recruit talents from all over the world. Regardless of their background, anyone with real talent and learning can enter the school."

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed, "Back then, Zhu Xi probably also advertised to recruit talents from all over the world and teach them?"

Zhang Ximeng chuckled, "Although the words are the same, the effect is completely different. We have a complete government school system that can ensure a sufficient number of common people's children to enroll. Just like the school in front of us, there will be elementary school and elementary school below. As long as they are five years old, they can enter elementary school, start with literacy, and then learn simple word calculations, write articles, and understand the world... In fact, the reason why ordinary people have no chance to succeed in life is because they don't see If you don't know where the road is, you can only suffer from poverty. This education is also to enrich the people and save the people!"

Hearing this, Lao Zhu finally took a deep breath, "Sure enough, as Mr. said...Equalize the acres of land, and help the people...On top of the average land, there must be a school!"

Lao Zhu suddenly thought of something, "Rescue Simin, rescue Simin... Sir, this school should be called Jimin School!"

Zhang Ximeng was taken aback, but he only nodded in agreement, "My lord, Jimin Academy, is indeed excellent!"

Everyone else also praised in unison, it really is good!

The news quickly spread to the outside, and the people who came with them were also very excited.

Not only the word Jimin, but Zhang Ximeng's other words are even more attractive... He wants to set up a primary school under the school to let the children around him go to school.

That is to say, all the children of the family who have meritorious deeds who get the surrounding fields can enroll.

Although the following Jimin Enlightenment is not the same thing as Jimin Academy, but the teachers of Jimin Academy cannot let the level of Jimin Enlightenment be too low, and the children of these teachers may also enter it to study...so no matter how you say it , Even if schools are established everywhere, there will be a world of difference because of the location, economy, personnel, tradition...

There is no doubt that this land will become one of the top places in the whole world.

"I, I want to find a matchmaker, who is willing to find me a wife, I can't wait, our Zhang family will flourish here!"

Zhang Ziming shouted excitedly, and the others stared enviously.

Only the fortune teller smiled and said nothing, "I've already made an engagement, but you're still too slow."

At this moment, someone coughed. It turned out to be a monk. He had already started saving his hair, and took out an invitation card from the chat.

"Ahem...remember to come over and drink the wedding wine!"

Zhang Ziming foolishly accepted the red-stamped invitation card, and looked at the monk in disbelief, showing such a terrifying expression.

You are so fast!

The monk hehe said: "There is no way, the poor monk is getting old, so he can only fly first."

Chapter 3: The First Step of Proclaiming Emperor

Along with a piece of land deed, each soldier got the chance to change their destiny.

They themselves can live comfortably, and their children and grandchildren have a promising future.

Let me ask, what could be more gratifying than this?

Zhang Ximeng once vigorously promoted literacy education in the army. The veterans of the Zhu family's army more or less knew a few words and had listened to various lectures. Their knowledge was much better than that of ordinary people.

It is not so easy to cultivate a talent.

Just like the Yu Gaomen, their Yu family has been passed down from generation to generation, and there are many famous officials... What is this kind of family inheritance?Wealth, acres?

In fact, it is not. After all, there are ups and downs, and many industries may disappear.

For this family, the most important thing is the family tradition, which is the planning for the future.

Even if you are hungry, you have to tighten your belt and let your children study. The parents are only literate, and the son may be able to get a good name.

Reading for generations, with clear goals, continuous improvement, and willingness to invest.

In contrast, how many poor people don't realize this at all. A young man, instead of working at home, helps his parents share the housework, but goes to school, not to mention wasting money, and studying hard for years, who may not be able to see the harvest? Can you stand this continuous investment?

It is not necessarily wrong for the poor to think this way, because their investment may really be in vain.Because they don't know the way at all.This is about another advantage of the big clan, that is, the knowledge of contacts accumulated over the years, even if they are down and out, they also know which direction to invest in, making it much easier for them to start than the poor. .

So as long as they are in the circle designated by the scholar-bureaucrats, no matter how they play, even if the dynasty changes, these people will dominate everything.

From the Song Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty, the cultural context was passed on, and it was endless. Scholars did it. I dare not say that there is a big difference, but it is generally the same.

Only as it is now, from the beginning to the end, a complete change, not only to create a new country, but also to reset the universe, to start a new learning... One yuan starts again, and everything is renewed.

All new from head to toe.

And in this new world, the meritorious people who get rewards belong to the first half step. They get the best educational resources, and they are the future "scholar-bureaucrats".

Although Zhang Ximeng does not recognize the existence of scholar groups, there are always differences in levels between people.And these people, there is no doubt that they have achieved a relatively high level for future generations.

That's how people's satisfaction comes from.

At the former site of Bailudong Academy, the voices of long live come and go.

Thousands of soldiers, thank you for your grace.

The mountain roared and the tsunami shook the sky.

"The superior, today, may be called emperor!" Zhu Sheng suggested to Zhu Yuanzhang.

proclaim oneself emperor?

Old Zhu wasn't surprised. After defeating Chen Youliang, he had thought about this question more than once.

Sometimes, it's really not whether you want it or not, but the situation has reached this point, and the general trend pushes you, so you have to move forward.

Just like when Zhu Sheng proposed to delay the title of king, everyone including Zhang Ximeng strongly agreed with it.

But with the continuous military victories and the deepening of Juntian, it is clear that it will lead the third rise of China... The situation has reached this point,

Not proclaiming the emperor seems a bit unreasonable.

This is not a question of whether Zhu Yuanzhang wants to be called emperor, but that if you want to do those things, you must be respected as an emperor.

Facing Zhu Sheng's proposal, Zhu Yuanzhang did not refuse, but instead asked: "What are we missing right now?"

This sentence stopped Zhu Sheng.

what else?

Is the territory not enough?

Is it because there are not enough soldiers and horses?

Or is the space not big enough?

It's really hard to say clearly, after all, Xu Shouhui, the great emperor of Tianwan, proclaimed himself emperor without even having a province.

Xiaoming Wang of Haozhou, he was also called the emperor under the support of Liu Futong.

With these two as examples, the threshold for becoming emperor is infinitely lowered, as long as you want to, you can become emperor immediately.

But the question is, does this kind of emperor taste like it?

Like Xu Shouhui, who was directly killed by Chen Youliang.

Han Lin'er is even more of a puppet, a puppet in advance.

Emperor, emperor.

It seems to be the most honorable person, but there are so many unbearable examples.

Who can tell us?

How to claim the title of emperor can truly win people's hearts and establish supreme authority... Facing Lao Zhu's question, Zhu Sheng only felt that he was not knowledgeable enough.

He couldn't help looking at Zhang Ximeng, "Master Zhang, do you have any ideas to help the superior?"

Zhang Ximeng pondered slightly, and asked Zhu Yuanzhang to sit at the place where Zhu Xi and Lu Jiuyuan debated in the past. He, Zhu Sheng and others sat with him, "Master,

Proclaiming the emperor is very unusual, if one hastily proclaimed himself emperor, he would be a loser to the world and the lord... The minister thought that if he wanted to be called the emperor, he had to do at least one thing. "

Zhu Yuanzhang was startled, and blurted out: "Just one thing?"

Old Zhu thought it would be very troublesome, but he didn't know that there was only one thing, what was it, and it was so powerful?

At this time, Zhu Ying, who was squatting on the ground, jumped up suddenly, and said happily: "Are you going to kill Chen Youliang and sacrifice his head to the flag?"

Zhang Ximeng chuckled, "Of course Chen Youliang is a great enemy, but his head is not so valuable. What I mean is to solve the major issue of the country's legal system. Where did the new dynasty come from?"

As expected of Mr. Zhang, the problem he saw was unusual!

Zhu Sheng thought about it and said: "Master Zhang, since the Qin and Han Dynasties, the Chinese legal system has been in the same line and has never been broken. What is orthodoxy has been discussed a lot by the predecessors, so I won't say more. Liu Futong and others even know that they are under the banner of restoring Zhao Song. , but let me say that the Yuan court occupied the Central Plains for 90 years, so it can’t be erased from the history books? According to the theory, it seems that the Yuan court’s legal system should be inherited, but in this way, it seems to be in line with our idea of ​​expelling the Hulu and restoring China. Violation, how to deal with it, I really have no idea."

Zhang Ximeng took the lead slightly, "Mr. Fenglin is right, this matter is really hard to handle, and I am also very confused... But although I can't figure out where the country comes from for a while, I think I should solve the problem of why the country didn't exist. "

"Why not? Is it the Great Yuan Dynasty?" Zhu Sheng asked in confusion, "Master Zhang doesn't mean that the Yuan Dynasty must be destroyed before he can become emperor?"

"No no no!"

Zhang Ximeng said: "I mean to solve the matter of Zhao Song's subjugation first."

Zhu Sheng was startled, and after thinking for a while, he said slowly: "Mr. Zhang, you didn't mean Yashan, did you?"

"Yes! It's Yashan!"

Zhang Ximeng said: "In life, no one has died since ancient times, so keep his loyalty and history. For thousands of years and history, there must be a conclusion. No matter how bad the Zhao and Song Dynasties are, they are still a Han court. Now we want to expel the Hulu and restore the Han family. How do we do it?" How can we forget Prime Minister Wen if we don’t go to Yashan to pay homage to our ancestors?”

Zhang Ximeng turned his head and said: "My lord, what I mean is that regardless of other matters, we will hold a grand funeral for the Song Dynasty first, and the coffin will be finalized.

With this, a new situation can be opened, no matter what to do, it will be much easier. "

Old Zhu took a deep breath, nodded slightly, and then he sighed: "When we were young, we heard from our mother that our grandfather was a veteran of the Song Dynasty and escaped from the cliff mountain. They were defeated back then, and the Central Plains fell for a hundred years. They are like cattle, horses and livestock, begging for a living. Now that the heroes are rising together, the flames of war, the Yuan court is already on the verge of collapse, it is really time to tell those who died, the descendants, to regain the country!"

Lao Zhu swung his fist hard, and it was almost a final decision!

When Lao Zhu returned to Jiangzhou from Bailudong Academy, his victorious victories were several times better than the day before.

The whole person is refreshed and full of energy.

Lao Zhu quickly arranged several government affairs... First, use the fastest speed to wipe out Chen Youliang's remaining defeated troops and restore local order. This matter will be supervised by Xu Da, and it must be completed within three months.

Second, in order to implement land equalization, the land of Jiangxi has tens of millions of people, and we must use the fastest speed to complete the major event of land equalization.For ease of implementation,

Lao Zhu ordered that a group of officials be transferred from Jinling to take care of this matter.

Third, for Jiangxi scholars, organize the imperial examination as quickly as possible, select a group of talents who can be used, and let them assist in the completion of land equalization.

Fourth, Jimin School should be completed with the highest standards at all costs.Palaces and palaces can be slowed down, but only schools can't be slowed down.

Fifth, to properly reward meritorious soldiers, what should be given to the big guys must not be less.

sixth……

Zhu Yuanzhang made arrangements one by one. These things are very important, but they are also normal. Probably any victor, as long as he is clear-headed, will do so.

How can we reflect the difference of Zhu Jiajun?

Yashan!

I have to say that the surprises that Zhang Ximeng brought to Lao Zhu are really endless.

Even a learned man like Zhu Sheng would never have imagined that if Lao Zhu wanted to become emperor, he would go to Yashan first to hold a grand funeral for Zhao Song.

This is not a funeral for Zhao Song, it is clearly the end of a thousand years.

In this way, Zhu Yuanzhang almost achieved the status of fighting against the Yuan court.

We are not thieves and bandits. We clean up the old mountains and rivers for the predecessors.

Moreover, sacrificing Zhao Song and declaring Zhao Song's subjugation immediately made Liu Futong's Han Song a joke.

Another thing is to unite people's hearts internally and pave the way for proclaiming emperor.

What else can I say besides high?

"In fact, there are some benefits, the Lord has not noticed yet."

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help laughing and said: "Mr. has always done more than one arrow, with originality. Please enlighten me, let us open our eyes!"

Zhang Ximeng got a map and put it in front of Lao Zhu.

The Jiangxi Province of the Yuan Dynasty was very special, and it controlled a huge area.

The most special thing is that most of Guangdong is under the rule of Jiangxi. That is to say, Guangdong and Guangxi provinces did not exist in the Yuan Dynasty.

"My lord, to go to Yashan, you must first conquer Guangzhou...and Guangzhou, Beijiang, Meiling, Ganjiang, Poyang Lake, and Yangtze River are a complete commercial road, and it is the lifeblood of Jiangxi's prosperity!"

Zhang Ximeng said with a smile: "Only by opening up this meridian can Jiangxi recover quickly, and there are so many people in Jiangxi, if Juntian can't continue,

You can ask Lingnan for relief.also…"

"What else?" Zhu Yuanzhang's breathing became rough. Are these benefits not enough?

"There is also He Zhen, Zuo Cheng of the Yuan court in Guangzhou, who is the weakest of the opponents around, or it can be passed down!"
