Chongzhen Undergraduates

Zhu Youjian knew exactly who the person standing behind Huang Zongxi was.Telling Huang Zongxi about running a school is just telling the people behind him that this matter is beneficial to you and me, so don't fight against me.

"The cost of my car is 200 taels. You are a popular figure in Nanjing now. If you don't ride, others will not compare you to buy it. Then the carriage I gave you is not free? You have to let it go anyway." I'll take it back."

"Pfft!" Standing behind Zhu Youjian, Wang Chengen laughed out loud.

"Your Majesty, you have said before that writing articles in newspapers to tout things is called advertisements, and you need to charge advertising fees."

"You can use a ruler to measure the page size of the newspaper you occupy, charge according to the actual size, and ask Gao Xing directly to ask for it."

"Thank you for the emperor's grace!" Huang Dao heard it on Monday, kowtowed quickly, got up and ran away, he was going to ask Mrs. Xing a high price.

"Are you sure who is behind the incident in Yangzhou?" Zhu Youjian asked Wang Chengen with a gloomy face.

"It has been confirmed that Wang Ruqian (Wang Ranming) made people do it, and the "Fuxing Daily" was also funded by him."

"Is he alone or is there a large number of Xin'an Jia people involved?" Zhu Youjian must figure out the interest structure of the entire Jiangnan, otherwise he will be blind.

As a time traveler, if you don't even know what interest groups are under your rule, what is the core of each class, and you just want to transform society, relying on technology that has surpassed hundreds of years?Zhu Youjian can only say hehe.

The so-called "Xin'an Jia people" are actually Huizhou merchants, and the Huizhou salt merchants in Yangzhou are the richest class in Jiangnan.

In fact, the interests of the Ming Dynasty are not complicated, there are nobles, scholars, gentry, royal family and merchants.The three largest of them are Shilin, Merchants and Royal Family.

After the entire north was smashed, the nobles in the south were actually nothing to worry about.With military power and warlordization, the nobles in the north are collectively bankrupt, and there are not many nobles who stayed in the south.

However, most of the gentry class is attached to the bureaucrats. These people are not very important in Jiangnan, but they are more difficult in other places.

The core allies of Jiangnan Shilin are salt merchants, the so-called Huizhou merchants.The royal family is a completely independent class in Daming, and they have no chance to get involved with other people.

"Start first, then look for opportunities." Zhu Youjian will definitely not move the salt merchants now, their roots are too deep, and their backing is too strong.If you don't dig a little bit, it is easy to "collapse".

But digging out the roots of Shilin is not as hard as fighting. To transform a class, you need to think about how to arrange these people.Officials are only a way to arrange some scholars.

The education of Ming Dynasty itself was backward. The sacred profession of teacher is a better way out for scholars.

Teacher, you have worked hard!

Chapter 2: Running a Primary School

Among the influential figures in the middle years of the 18th year of Chongzhen, the one who can be known as a great Confucianism is nothing more than "one dollar a week".At best, Wang Duo was a calligrapher, while the so-called three Confucian scholars: Gu Yanwu, Wang Fuzhi, and Huang Zongxi were all juniors at this time.

Zhu Youjian was dubious about Qian Qianyi. He was a bit of a philanderer, but he wasn't really a bad conscience.

As for Liu Zongzhou, Zhu Youjian basically has no hope. What else can you expect from an old master who is pedantic to the bone?

Zhu Youjian used Huang Daozhou as the editor-in-chief of the daily newspaper and the post of the imperial pen, just to set up a benchmark that can compete with Jiangnan Fushe, at least not to show weakness in the articles.

Liu Zongzhou has been particularly angry recently. As a bachelor, he is not as favored as a disciple of him.And the one who was as famous as himself, but Huang Daozhou, whom he often disliked, became a small courier, but he swaggered through the city in a luxurious carriage every day.

Being angry is one thing, but cooperation with the emperor is still necessary.Teaching and educating people has always been the Confucianist's best housekeeping skill. The ancestor Kong Laofuzi is famous all over the world as a teacher. How can the disciples behind him refuse this reputation! ?

This time, Zhu Youjian did not take the matter of running a school to the court for discussion, but issued a notice in the daily newspaper, planning to use the money in the internal treasury to establish a Mongolian school in every county across the country (basically in the south of the Yangtze River). .And solicit the opinions of the people.

This is an unprecedented thing, the emperor wants to ask the opinions of the people when he does something good.Can anyone have an opinion?At least scholars will not have any objections to running a school.

Therefore, after Liu Zongzhou heard the report from his student Huang Zongxi, he no longer planned to push Zhang Cai and Zhu Youjian to confront each other.

Of course, Qian Qianyi couldn't fight against Zhu Youjian, the emperor also rewarded him with a carriage, and he was taking Liu Rushi back to Suzhou in the carriage to show off.

"Fuxing Daily" rarely praised Zhu Youjian's behavior as a wise emperor, and also wrote a large number of articles, showing that scholars in Jiangnan were ready to do their best to support the emperor's benevolent deeds.

Anyway, it was Zhu Youjian who paid the money, and it was the scholars in Jiangnan who made the money in the end. After building a school, there must be teachers. The scholars who left Jiangnan, where can the emperor find teachers?

"Great hand!" When Shi Kefa heard the news, the first thing that Shi Kefa thought of was where did Zhu Youjian get the money from.Although he is not the Minister of the Household Department, he understands Daming's financial situation.

With the current fiscal revenue of Daming in Jiangnan, the army supporting Jiangbei was a bit stretched at first.In addition, the military pay in Shandong has always been relatively large, and Li Yan has been fighting recently, even losing his old nest, and it has become a complete mobile battle.Anyway, Shi Kefa was not optimistic about Li Yan, and Shi Kefa felt disapproving of the abilities shown by Li Zicheng's former senior counselor.

"If I were me, I would definitely stick to Tai'an and never lose an inch of Ming's city." Shi Kefa often thought this way. The so-called Ming's integrity: no vassal, no tribute, no peace, no compensation, Shi Kefa insisted on implementing it to the bone.

"Father, where do you think the money for the emperor to run the school will come from?" Shi Dewei has been recommended by Shi Kefa in front of Zhu Youjian, and has become the new capital of the capital, replacing Li Chengdong. He is considered a member of the younger generation. rising star.

"Our emperor has money." Shi Kefa knew that Zhu Youjian had a lot of money. He thought it was Kuyin from the capital that Zhu Youjian secretly hid somewhere and finally transported it to Nanjing.

All the scholars in the south of the Yangtze River, whether it is Qian Qianyi who doesn't care about things, Fushe who is waiting to reap benefits, or Shi Kefa who really cares about the court.None of them could find a reason to object.

"Your Majesty, running a school is a good thing. But with such a large scale of running a school, do you need to use that money?" Chen Yuanyuan, who is about to give birth, has a big and round belly, and with Xiaoyu's support, she insists on walking every day. As Zhu Youjian said, walking more will help the child to give birth.

"Of course the money should be used where it is most needed." Zhu Youjian took Chen Yuanyuan's hand, and helped her walk slowly in the imperial garden together.

"When you met Li Zicheng, he didn't mention the money?" Chen Yuanyuan was surprised that Zhu Youjian took such a large sum of money from Li Zicheng. After returning to Nanjing this time, Zhu Youjian didn't mention Li Zicheng. .

"I'm too busy to tell you about this. The first time Li Zicheng saw me, he knew that I stole the money. You don't know, he insisted on killing me in the temple. Because of silver.

However, after I persuaded him, the matter of Yin Zi will naturally be settled. "Zhu Youjian smiled at Chen Yuanyuan, it seemed that this matter was very easy and not worth mentioning.

In fact, Li Zicheng had already put the sword on Zhu Youjian's neck at that time.In terms of fighting, Zhu Youjian is not Li Zicheng's opponent, even if he has served as a soldier in later generations, fighting with a thief king like Li Zicheng is the same as looking for death.

It's just that Li Zicheng didn't slash with that sword, but just asked, "Did Chen Yuanyuan also be kidnapped by you?"

Zhu Youjian rolled his eyes. At that time, the sword was only [-] centimeters away from his throat. After a quarter of a stick of incense...

Forget it, I can't make it up anymore.Zhu Youjian is not good at making love stories.

Li Zicheng did mention Chen Yuanyuan, but Zhu Youjian mentioned Liu Zongmin and Li Yan.And there was a letter from Li Yan to him.

If it is said that Li Zicheng gave up resisting the Ming army because he was tired of fighting and felt desperate.

Then he didn't kill Zhu Youjian because of Li Yan's persuasion.Li Zicheng also understood the importance of Li Yan. How could he not know who is his most important helper at this point?

Zhu Youjian held Li Yan's letter in his arms, and forced Li Zicheng to have nowhere to go with his army, so he dared to talk to Li Zicheng face to face.

Zhu Youjian originally planned to save Li Zicheng's life, but he refused.There is no room for two tigers on one mountain, let alone two dragons.

"I got the money, you don't have the ability to get it, so it doesn't belong to you." Li Zicheng insisted that the money should belong to him.

"You blackmailed it from a corrupt official, and I stole it from you again. We're even." Zhu Youjian was sneering, anyway, he was cheating.

"Then I'll kill you and take it back."

"If you kill me, you won't get Yinzi and Chen Yuanyuan either. She is pregnant with my child and is about to give birth."

With a "boom", Li Zicheng's sword fell to the ground, and he really felt a deep sense of failure.I have never been afraid of beheading, ZF has never been afraid, but my two favorite things have been fooled away by a liar.

"But the school doesn't just need to be built well, it needs teachers, and teachers also need salaries!" Chen Yuanyuan pulled Zhu Youjian back from his memories.

"Build the school first. This process will take at least half a year. After the school is built and the students are enrolled, teachers will naturally be available." Zhu Youjian smiled. The Central Plains culture respects the profession of teachers. He does not believe that there is a lack of Chinese. Teacher, he was just worried about where the science teacher would look for him.

Fortunately, what he is building now is Mengxue, that is, a primary school, and he still has time left.
