MTL - Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty-v2 Chapter 1712 Respect for teachers

  Chapter 1712 Respect the teacher

   Zhao Sande is the eye that Suleiman placed in Daming.

  What he saw, what he heard, and his views on Ming’s affairs determined Suleiman’s national policy towards Ming.

  Zhao Sande listed the deeds of some new emperors of Ming Dynasty and their influence on scholars.

At the end of the memorandum, Zhao Sande wrote a pen and said: Da Ming sits in the middle of the earth and is blessed with heaven and earth. It is not comparable to Ottoman. For the country, take its heart first, and when the new emperor of Ming Dynasty loses his heart, it will be the time for my emperor to seize the Central Plains. The new emperor is very happy, and he looks like Emperor Sui Yang. Building a railway is a waste of effort, just like Emperor Sui Yang built a canal. Soon after he ascended the throne, he had the heart to swallow Java. This coincides with the Sui Dynasty's struggle for Korea. Tao also. My emperor should respect Confucian scholars, cultivate morality and nourish the people, just wait for the chaos in the Central Plains, punish the people and punish crimes, and you will be done in just ten years.

  He spoke with confidence.

  Because in the history books, it is written like this, Zhu Houzhao and Emperor Sui Yang are the same.

Zhao Sande's pen trembled when he wrote the word "cultivating morality". These two words have run through all his thoughts and are his supreme idea. The more books he reads, the more he believes in the word "cultivating morality". suspect.

  When the memorial was completed, he ordered someone to send it out quickly, and then he was relieved, and then he leisurely ordered someone to pour tea.

  He came to Daming, and his favorite thing to drink was tea. This tea tasted refreshing and endless aftertaste.

  A person who cultivates virtue should be like tea.

   "Sir..." A servant came in.

  Zhao Sande likes to let the servants call himself Mr.

  Zhao Sande held the tea in his arms, glanced at the servant casually, and said lightly, "What's the matter?"

  The servant said: "In another hour, the poetry meeting on North Street will start."

  "Ah..." Zhao Sande sighed, "I forgot, hurry up and get ready to change."

   After finishing speaking, he quickly stood up.

  A group of scholars in Beijing, since there were no more imperial examinations, fewer people read stereotyped essays, but poetry clubs have sprung up like mushrooms after rain.

  Poetry... seems to have become their last spiritual sustenance.

Zhao Sande likes this kind of poetry meeting the most. Every day when he hears a good poem, he can't help but tremble with excitement. In his opinion, this poem...is simply a gift from heaven to mankind. Among the concise lines, The emotions and meanings contained in it are irresistible.

  …

  Fang Jifan has to join the cabinet every day.

  After entering the cabinet, it is like a wooden stake.

  Because there are a group of old people around me, many times, it is really impossible to communicate, not to mention that a group of people have completely different ideas from myself, even if it is such an age gap, this generation gap is like a natural moat.

  He was responsible for the drafting, which were all memorials about Baoding or railways.

   Which land needs to be requisitioned, and how to compromise between the various prefectures and counties are Fang Jifan's business.

   At this time, a memorial was sent, saying that the prefect of Luoyang refused to cross the border by railway.

   Seems like...he doesn't care if there's opposition to the railroad.

   It's just that when the ticket was sent to Zhu Houzhao, Zhu Houzhao was so angry that he was half dead.

  In Zhu Houzhao's view, such a parent official should be dismissed. How could Lao Fang be so contemptuous?

   Just as he was stomping, Fang Jifan ordered Wang Jinyuan to pass on the magistrate's memorial to Luoyang.

   A few days later, Kuaima sent a new memorial, which was also from Luoyang, but the person who submitted the memorial was not the prefect of Luoyang, but the co-prefect of Luoyang.

  This memorandum is somewhat tragic. It is said that the people of Luoyang heard that the railway was rejected by the prefect, and Xishan Jianye is planning to divert the railway to Luoyang.

So...the scholars and the people were outraged, and as a result...surrounded the magistrate's yamen, some daring fellows dragged out the magistrate, and beat him violently. He was rescued in the Xi'an branch of the hospital, but his life and death were uncertain.

  Fang Jifan still drew up a draft, and still replied with one word... Oh!

   I have to say, you fool, you don’t need your money to build the railway.

  When the railway is opened, the first to benefit is the local tyrants. Although these tyrants have lost their land, they are deeply rooted after all. There is always a way to make money and profit.

  Of course... the most memorials were sent by Marquis Shouning and Uncle Jianchang.

  They have arrived in Lanzhou, and along the way, they found many problems.

  For example... the labor force confiscated by the local government has a phenomenon of empty quota.

  Also... there are a few lines in the design, there is obvious waste, can be modified.

   On top of that... certain sections of the railroad are not properly accounted for.

   Some people even began to try to profit from the construction of the railway.

Such a large investment involves so much manpower and money. Fang Jifan knew from the very beginning that there would be serious wear and tear. It is almost impossible to achieve no loss. Where there are people, there will be greed. , but now...

  The emperor was in a hurry to repair, and many places were forced to start, but fortunately, with the two activists of Shouninghou and Jianchangbo, Fang Jifan was surprisingly relieved.

  I heard that these two guys are still working on the steam power system of the steam car, hoping to reduce the consumption of fuel to increase the power. In other words, they want the car to save fuel, ah, no, save coal.

  Seeing Hou Ninghou’s memorabilia on saving fuel, Fang Jifan couldn’t help feeling that the two uncles really broke their hearts for the court.

   Such talents can't be found even with a lantern.

   On this day, it was noon, Fang Jifan was a little tired, but at this time Ouyang Zhi came with a food box.

  The Ministry of Officials is not far from the palace. Ouyang Zhi was an official outside and was very clean and honest. Therefore, when he was an official outside, he couldn't afford to hire a cook, so he taught himself how to cook.

  Although he is now the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, he is still economical. He gets up early every day, cooks his own meals, and carries a food box on duty. He can eat when he is free at noon.

In the 130 years of the Ming Dynasty, there has never been such a minister of the official department, and no one in the entire official department does not admire him, so much so that no one dares to give Ouyang Zhi an ice tribute when the capital is full of cold summer and winter. And charcoal respect.

   Now that the teacher is on duty in the palace, Ouyang Zhi made two meals by himself and delivered them on time.

  Wang Shouren will also come at this time, of course... This guy only has one mouth, which makes Fang Jifan disgusted.

  In the end, Ouyang Zhi had to make three copies.

  Every time Ouyang Zhi appeared, people inside and outside the cabinet couldn't help but look sideways, tsk tsk, to look at his disciples.

  As soon as Ouyang Zhi arrived on the front foot, Wang Shouren arrived on the back foot, and the three sat down at will.

  Ouyang Zhi was not good at words, so he first took out the dishes from the food box, brought them to Fang Jifan, picked lean meat with chopsticks, and put more young leaves on the dishes, and sent them to his teacher's plate. The rest of the fat meat and vegetable stems were eaten by himself and Wang Shouren.

  Fang Jifan picked up the chopsticks, and Wang Shouren and Ouyang Zhi just started eating.

   This is a tedious process.

  Because Ouyang Zhi was unable to communicate at all, Fang Jifan felt tired communicating with him, so he had no choice but to keep silent.

  As for Wang Shouren, this guy has always been stern, and he is not good at talking at all, so everyone just eats and drinks silently.

   Halfway through eating, Ouyang Zhi asked, "Master, do you want to eat?"

  Fang Jifan nodded.

  Ouyang Zhi was silent for a moment, and said, "What would my teacher want to eat tomorrow?"

  Fang Jifan tilted his head and thought about it seriously: "Recently, I want to eat lamb. The lamb from Lanzhou is the best. The lamb there is fresh and tender. It is best to grill the lamb chops and put more pepper."

  Ouyang Zhi was silent for a while, and seemed to have made a note: "Is there any more?"

"there is none left!"

   Next, Ouyang Zhi was silent.

  Wang Shouren looked at Ouyang Zhi, and couldn't help but said, "I want to eat too."

  Ouyang Zhi took out the paper and the charcoal pencil that he carried with him, and wrote it down systematically, then put it away, picked up the chopsticks, and continued to gnaw on his vegetable side.

After a while, Fang Jifan finished eating and rubbed his belly. As a teacher, he had to say something: "Bo An, I don't mean you as a teacher. Your elder brother is frugal on weekdays and your salary is not high. It's not good for him to eat."

  Although Wang Shouren is thin, he eats a lot. This is the third bowl. After he ate, he felt a little full, so he nodded and said shamelessly: "Yes, the student respects the teacher's teachings."

Fang Jifan sighed again: "The biggest wish of the teacher now is that all the disciples can come back to the capital, and when you eat for the teacher, you will all accompany the teacher's knees. Alas... It's a pity, your brothers and sisters, all of you They are very busy people, and I don’t know what happened to them outside. I am very worried about the teacher. Well, Bo’an, don’t eat any more.”

  Wang Shouren put down his job and looked at Fang Jifan seriously.

  Fang Jifan said: "What about the military affairs?"

When it comes to business, Wang Shouren is absolutely unambiguous, and he said solemnly: "The most important thing now is to expand the First Army, with the First Army as the backbone, and then... form the Fifth Army. At the end of the year, the Ministry of War will draw up a The money and food needed, I am afraid that the Ministry of Households will have to talk about it again."

Fang Jifan was happy: "Don't be afraid, there is a teacher here, and the Ministry of Households dare not give it. I went to find Li Gong to explain the truth for the teacher, but the reason didn't make sense. The teacher took His Majesty to pack up the bed and go to Li's house. Don't go. He I dare not refuse!"

  Wang Shouren breathed a sigh of relief. He seemed to think that this method was very good, but then he seemed to think of something, and said, "There is one more difficulty."

  At this time Ouyang Zhi had silently brewed a cup of tea and delivered it to Fang Jifan. Fang Jifan held the cup of tea and was not in a hurry to drink it. He smelled the fragrance of the tea and said, "What else can I do?"
