First Minister of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 80: Go to school!

   "Liuhe without a fight, the whole Chuzhou area falls into the palm of your hand!" Zhang Ximeng said excitedly, unable to hide his smile.

   Li Shanchang is much calmer than him, after all, his age is here.

   Moreover, Li Shanchang has too many government affairs at hand. It is a good thing to expand the territory, but his burden is heavier again.

   "Originally it was Chuzhou, but now we have to add the surrounding three counties, and we have to complete the granting of fields before spring ploughing. Asking myself, I'm really a little bit stubborn!"

   Zhang Ximeng smiled unabated, he knew too well about Li Shanchang's administrative ability, such a small number of sites, such a small number of people, it would exhaust the future Xiao He, and he looked down on Lao Li's ability too!

   It’s just that Li Shanchang complained, and he understood what it meant.

"Mr. Li, our civil service reserves are indeed not enough. Now that Chuzhou has the whole territory, we should also set up schools and cultivate a group of our own talents. We have already discussed this matter, and now is a good time! "

   Li Shanchang pondered for a moment, frowning slightly, "School is not so easy, ten years of hard study, no scholar is out! Wait for them to be useful, I'm afraid I don't know how long it will take!"

"Hahaha!"

   Zhang Ximeng couldn't help laughing, "Mr. Li, you should train the champion scholars? Where does it take so much effort!"

   Li Shanchang was puzzled, "Then, then it is considered to be an educated, and it will take a few years to study!"

   Zhang Ximeng is helpless, Lao Li is confused.

"We are cultivating people who can use it, and time is tight... Naturally, how quickly we come. First is literacy, requiring the knowledge of two thousand commonly used characters. If you pass, we will conduct special training, if you fail, we will continue to learn. It doesn’t take much time to read characters. Even if you start over, two thousand words can be read, and it’s estimated that half a year will be enough. If you can write, it may take longer."

   Li Shan frowned and frowned, "What's the use of just knowing words?"

"It's very useful! If you recognize the characters, you can read the official documents and decrees, so that they can go to the countryside to explain and implement the granting of fields. If you can recite the decrees, you can go to the countryside to enforce the law, inspect places, and maintain order. In addition to literacy, Learn more arithmetic, and if you understand this, you can be regarded as a high-end talent, who can help us collect taxes, count the household grain, dispatch the luggage, and assist the main public soldiers."

"what!"

   Li Shanchang couldn't help exclaiming when he heard this.

   yelled for so long to run the school, and today he finally figured out Zhang Ximeng's plan...this thing is not complicated at all.

   first learn literacy and simple arithmetic.

   If you already have a certain foundation, you can pass it quickly, and then you will be trained for a special degree... The servants responsible for maintaining the safety of one party mainly learn some laws and regulations, learn how to arrest prisoners, mediate disputes, and resolve conflicts.

   Those who are responsible for collecting commercial taxes mainly study arithmetic.

   Those in charge of water conservancy learn to dig trenches and wells,

   After such a disassembly, the difficulty of learning is greatly reduced, and it belongs to subject teaching.

   Li Shanchang made a simple calculation. If he has a certain foundation, he may be able to leave the teacher in half a year and assist in doing things... and half a year later, it is the first season of harvest after the division of the fields, and the first official collection of land taxes.

   Li Shanchang's eyes lit up and couldn't help but be overjoyed. He gave Zhang Ximeng a thumbs up, "You are a real man!"

   Zhang Ximeng smiled implicitly, "Lao Li is polite...Actually, I am just an idea. To do it, you will inevitably have to work hard. When it comes to the practical part, Lao Li has to teach them."

   "Let me go to class?" Li Shanchang was surprised: "Is this appropriate?"

   Zhang Ximeng helplessly spread his hands, "Now is not the time to discuss the appropriateness and inappropriateness. It's all about catching the ducks on the shelves. Reluctantly!"

   Li Shanchang was startled, thinking a little bit in his heart, and he felt refreshed and extraordinary.

   Some time ago, he wooed a few Yang Yuangao, who thought they could form a gang, but Zhang Ximeng intervened, making them all honestly Zhu Yuanzhang's official tools.

  His Lao Li has no confidant to use, do you mean to be irritating?

   But if the school is set up, he teaches in person, the master and apprentice add the upper and lower levels, and it will not take long for Li Shanchang to form a dense web around him.

   Under the rule of Old Zhu, he also has the weight to speak.

  The days are getting more and more hopeful.

   Li Shan grew up overjoyed, but he knew very well that Zhang Ximeng had to nod his head if he wanted to achieve his goal. This young queen has a horrible idea, and he has a patron, Jialu, which is not easy to deal with.

   Li Shanchang thought for a while, and simply said: "Mr. Zhang, look at the situation like this. The upper ranks are outside the battle, and we are in charge of the government. We are united and tacitly hand in hand. There is nothing that can't be done! You think it is?"

   Zhang Ximeng looked at Li Shanchang's eyes and couldn't help but smile.

   This smile made Li Shanchang a little bit inexplicable. Is he wrong?

   "Mr. Li, I'm just thinking, if those who should have power do not have power, should those who should not have power have power?"

   Li Shan grew up startled, he sullenly said: "I don't mean anything else, I just said that I want my colleagues to join hands. If you are in charge of the secretary, it is extremely difficult for me to understand!"

   He directly called Zhang Ximeng's official position, which is angry.

   Zhang Ximeng didn't rush, "I said this should not be in power, including the lord, right!"

   "What do you mean, you want to take the lord?" Li Shanchang glared at Zhang Ximeng and almost stood up.

Zhang Ximeng admitted frankly, "I did plan to let the lord lead the soldiers outside, have nothing to do to sacrifice to the gods and ancestors, summon subordinates, reward the three armies, mourn the illness, or be immersed in the case, it is difficult to get out. Just take the lord’s time. The arrangements are full and the lord can’t take care of things, it’s your turn and I’m in charge, right?”

"you!"

   Li Shanchang was stunned, he was stupid.

   Can this be said?

   But when he was in the prefect yamen, he did indeed do that. A few of them joined hands and easily controlled the dignity of the house.

   Zhu Yuanzhang will have an exception?

   Even if he is really blessed, he will be the emperor by himself. How can he deal with a group of people?

   Actually, it shouldn't be too much, but Zhang Ximeng nodded, and the two of them can do it.

   But Li Shanchang did not expect that Zhang Ximeng would break this matter. If Zhu Yuanzhang were to be annoyed, the consequences would be disastrous!

   "Zhang Ximeng, this is what you said, but I don't have this thought at all! You will have to bear the guilt when the superior is questioned!"

Zhang Ximeng smiled, "Yes, naturally I am responsible for... the separation of powers between the monarch and the ministers, each is responsible for part of it, how to divide it, the power is with the lord, not below. If the lord can carry everything up, I can rest. , It's really a beautiful thing!"

   After finishing speaking, Zhang Ximeng got up and couldn't help humming: "I am Wollongong, a sloppy person..."

   Listening to Zhang Ximeng’s sound of nature, Li Shanchang wiped cold sweat from his palms on his sleeves, and sat on a chair without saying a word.

   It wasn't that he had a problem with his brain to win over Zhang Ximeng. In fact, this kind of decentralization has been common since ancient times. This is not how imperial power and opposing power are fighting.

   If the emperor has more points, the prime minister has less points.

  Some people may think that the emperor is supreme, and the prime minister is also worthy of fighting the emperor. Isn’t that the case for death?

  Thinking so can only say that I don’t understand the law of power.

  Imperial power is certainly high, but you can use trivial things to fill the emperor's space. Things that he can't take into account are naturally the power of the prime minister.

   This is like the emperor who likes medals, hunting, and drag racing. Although as a Xunzong, his power is unlimited, but it does not prevent other bigwigs from controlling their own shares and turning their departments into an independent kingdom.

   Therefore, in officialdom, you must give full play to your initiative.

   Li Shanchang is determined to assist Zhu Yuanzhang, and is determined to do things for Lao Zhu... If this is the case, he feels that Zhu Yuanzhang is the only one left in his heart, that would be too nonsense.

   In one sentence, the abolition of the Ministry of Education, the abolition of the prime minister system that has lasted for thousands of years is not a contradiction between one day and two days, but the result of decades of accumulation.

   Zhang Ximeng broke the matter. UU reading www.uukanshu.com is equivalent to telling Li Shanchang that if I am here, you don't think about secretly doing anything.

  Although we can enjoy some powers, these powers must come from the master, not privately.

   It’s just that as the territory gets bigger and bigger, there are more and more things, and as a humble public implement, more and more powers can be obtained.

   There was even one day when His Majesty the Emperor could only be busy with the early days and the vast memorials. At that time, the emperor was only the nominal master of the country.

   "Li Shanchang, Li Shanchang, why are you not content! Can't you wait patiently? One day, when you are unlucky, I won't care about you, let Old Zhu chop off your head and destroy your whole family!"

   Zhang Ximeng gloated and thought, waiting for the triumphant victory of old Zhu Desheng to carry out the school's affairs.

   To run schools and cultivate talents, the Zhu Group has become more and more formal.

   "Guo Ying, Wu Zhen, Lu Zhongheng... and a few of you, let us listen. Then you will all go to the school, and understand the words first, don't be blind!"

   These people looked at each other. The youngest Guo Ying was almost 20, and it was too difficult for them to read.

   "Um... higher class, is it not difficult to read, right?"

   Zhu Yuanzhang hesitated a little, and the long list of books given to him by Zhang Ximeng flashed through his mind...Old Zhu firmly said: "It's not difficult, it's not difficult at all, you can learn it soon!"

After    ordered, Lao Zhu turned around and returned to Shuai's account, reached out his hand to grab a collection of Ouyang Xiu's essays, and quickly read it.

   In case Mr. asked if he could read books, he would be able to cope with the past, "Huan Chu is all mountains. Its southwest peaks..."

   The generals looked at each other, Guo Ying looked at several people, and tentatively asked: "The superior said that reading is not difficult, do you believe it?"
