Ma was in a good mood and started chatting with Zhang Ximeng about Zhu Yuanzhang. He said that when Lao Zhu was a soldier, he was very good at eating. If one meal was not enough, he would go to the kitchen to steal radishes to eat.
Such a long green radish was eaten in just a few mouthfuls without even being washed.
She thought it was funny when she saw it, so she left a few pancakes for Lao Zhu. The pancakes were so big and thick, and they were gone after three times and five divided by two. His belly was like a bottomless pit... They got to know each other over and over again.
He also helped Lao Zhu wash clothes. His clothes were dirty and smelly, and no one else bothered to pay attention to him.
The more Mr. Ma talked about it, the happier he became, and he almost wanted to uncover all of Zhu Yuanzhang's dark history.
Just when she was about to talk about how the two of them could get engaged, a tall figure appeared behind Ma.
"Ahem! Sister, you are pregnant now, go back to raise the baby quickly! I beg you!"
Ma was startled, then suddenly laughed, she didn't say anything, just raised an arm, Lao Zhu quickly supported her, "Be careful, don't bump into each other, don't drink all the time if you have nothing to do, and take care of your stomach."
For the sake of the children here..."
Zhu Yuanzhang humbly muttered like an old woman, helped Ma Shi, and went to rest in the back.
It was rare that Ma didn't say anything more, but just went back honestly.
"My father is so kind to my mother." Zhu Ying sighed. Then he looked at Zhang Ximeng seriously, came over and asked, "Brother, when will you get married and find me a sister-in-law? I'm looking forward to it!"
"You're looking forward to nothing! At such a young age, do you know what getting married is?"
"How come I don't know! Aren't we just eating together, sleeping together, and giving birth to monkeys together? By the way, it's you who told me!" Zhu Ying said.
Zhang Ximeng nodded, looked at his virtue again, and said seriously: "If you continue like this, you will indeed give birth to monkeys! Let me ask you, how many points did you get in this exam, and what grade was it?"
Zhang Ximeng was too lazy to argue with Zhu Ying, so he took the initiative to attack.
As expected, Zhu Ying couldn't resist anymore.
"I, I'm just shy of a first-class degree."
"Oh! Is that the second grade?"
"No!"
"Is that Class C?" Zhang Ximeng's voice gradually became stern.
Zhu Ying murmured for a long time, lowered his head, and secretly said: "Yes, it's Ren et al.
"Ren?" Zhang Ximeng was stunned for a moment, A, B, C, D, there is no such thing!
Something's wrong!
A, B, B, D, Wu, Ji, Geng, Xin, Rengui!
"You, you took the ninth grade!" Zhang Ximeng was so angry that he clenched his fists and almost wanted to beat him to death!
"I, I was wronged!" Zhu Ying screamed crazily.
"What are you wrong about? Even if you rest your feet and write, you can't write the ninth grade! I also want to thank you for helping you review Tiangan, right?" Zhang Ximeng can't bear it anymore. Zhu Ying, this bastard, really needs a lesson!
I'm still counting on you to stay in Yunnan forever. With this kind of virtue, how can I drink fungus soup in peace?
Zhang Ximeng punched someone, and Zhu Ying hid while arguing, "It's really not my fault. Sir, I took an exam, let's write about the right way to make money."
"You, how did you write it?"
"I, I will write that people are not born with wealth, they must accumulate it... they can kill rich households, plunder their neighbors, eradicate evil, and money will come naturally!" Zhu Ying said aggrievedly, "I, where can I write?
wrong?"
Zhang Ximeng was startled, it seemed right!
wrong!
"Tell me, kid, what is your husband's standard answer?"
Zhu Ying tried to recall, "I, our husband, said that money should be obtained in a proper way, cultivate the land and raise children, the officials should take less, and the people should get more, and the wealth should be hidden among the people, and the world will be governed... He also said that this is how the superiors govern the people.
Killing the rich and looting, that is something only unscrupulous barbarians can do, I am not allowed to talk nonsense."
Zhang Ximeng understood, thought about it, and then laughed again.
Although the topic is simple, it is quite interesting.
Is it possible that someone is rouging and powdering Zhu Yuanzhang now?
There is a right way to make money, what he said is not necessarily wrong, but it is just too Spring and Autumn style, which inevitably obscures the core of Zhu Yuanzhang's policies.
It's like talking about the Industrial Revolution, only talking about the invention of the Jenny machine, the invention of the steam engine, technological progress, and the development of production... but never mentioning the invasion of the world, opening up the market, and plundering the world, and obtaining sufficient capital.
You can invest in technology and build factories.
Sometimes, the castrated truth can even be more harmful than a deliberately fabricated lie.
All said and done, this seems to be an issue of the right of historical interpretation. Beautifying Zhu Yuanzhang is certainly good for Zhu Jiajun, but it can truthfully record history and present the real situation to future generations, so that future generations can learn from the experience of their predecessors.
It seems to be more important.
Otherwise, we would be falling into a cycle of self-deception!
Moreover, after interpreting Lao Zhu’s success as benevolent government, kingly way, and loving the people, the next step should be the three cardinal principles and five constant principles, the connection between heaven and man, the king and his ministers, the father and the son... Sure enough, all things can enter Confucianism!
"Brother, you judge, who is right and who is wrong?"
"I don't care who you are right or wrong!" Zhang Ximeng said angrily: "You just pulled your crotch so much for the exam, little brat, and you have lost my person... Well, let's tell your husband later and let him find time to come and experience this. I
I need to talk to him."
This time it was Mu Ying's turn to be stunned. Others did not do well in the exam, but they were all called to meet their husbands. How come she got to her eldest brother's place and became her husband to meet her parents?
谷/span>What’s the point of this?
But it doesn’t seem to be anything, who makes the big brother different? Maybe after a few words of explanation, my husband will not dare to embarrass me in the future. Zhu Ying is quite beautiful, and sure enough, within two days, he called his husband to the experience department
, look forward to my elder brother’s teachings!
Mr. Yang was a very ordinary private school teacher. He came from a good family and read a lot of books in his early years. However, the imperial examination in Yuan Dynasty was really cheating. He failed the exam several times, so he had to return to his hometown and open a private school.
.
It was not until Zhu Yuanzhang occupied Chuzhou and more people wanted to go to school that the private schools were expanded into government schools. Mr. Yang also received a salary from there, which was regarded as public food, but it was only given by a group of red thieves.
Is he lucky or unlucky?
Mr. Yang didn't know how to describe his mood at this moment.
This was his first time entering the red thief's yamen.
As a link between the past and the future, the Experience Department, an organization inside and outside the hub, was much busier than expected. Mr. Yang was not able to see Zhang Ximeng directly and had to wait outside for a while.
He also took the opportunity to observe and pay attention to the work of the Experience Department. He found that it was very busy here, with young people coming in and out. Everyone was holding official documents in their arms. He didn't know where such a place in this place came from.
So many things... At this moment, there was a sudden uproar of people, something big happened!
It turned out to be Zhang Shicheng, the Chengwang of Gaoyou, who sent a personal letter requesting Zhu Yuanzhang to send troops to assist.
The letter was written with great humility, even to the point of flattery.
However, Zhang Ximeng didn't even look at it and just threw it aside.
At this time, several officials from the Experience Department, including Lu Zhou, looked at Zhang Ximeng stupidly.
"That experience... this is a letter asking for help. It cannot be taken lightly. It should be left to the superiors to make a decision!"
Zhang Ximeng glared, "What to decide... Maybe there is a little trouble with King Cheng, but we shouldn't send troops."
As the second-in-command of the Experience Department, Ruan Hongdao, the governor, was devastated. Not long ago, Zhang Shicheng came to ask for help. Zhang Ximeng said directly: Everything is fine, nothing happened.
Now he says that even if there is a little trouble, we still shouldn't send troops.
So what to do next?
"What if Tuotuo captures all the cities and surrounds Gaoyou?"
"Then it seems like something should be done, but we can't do anything."
Ruan Hongdao was anxious, "Zhang Qiancheng! If this is the case, wouldn't it mean to sit back and watch the Yuan army conquer Gaoyou and sweep the world! What will we do then?
"Then let's just say it would have been better if we had done something, but now it's too late!"
"you!"
Ruan Hongdao was so smokey that he was going crazy. He gritted his teeth and said, "Mr. Zhang, is this how you treat the favor of your superior? Could it be that you are deliberately passive and sabotaging because you did not become a councilor and took charge of the Board of Directors?"
Zhang Ximeng had a sullen face and roared: "Ruan Hongdao, Ruan Dushi! What you need now is to obey the arrangements of your superiors. If you are not satisfied, you can go to the superiors. If you dare to talk nonsense again and alienate the relationship between your subordinates, I will immediately
Demanding that you be punished!”
Ruan Hongdao was helpless and could only lament that the current situation was really too bad.
Tuotuo led his troops southward, and Zhang Shicheng's initial response was a disaster.
He first sent two brothers to lead the troops and took the initiative to fight in an attempt to stop the Yuan army. As a result, they collided with the Yuan army with high morale and suffered heavy losses.
At this time, Zhang Shicheng wrote a letter to Lao Zhu... requesting to send troops.
As a result, when we arrived at Zhang Ximeng's place, nothing happened.
Then the Yuan army divided its forces and captured Yancheng and Xinghua. It was like waving out his left arm and hitting Gaoyou hard... At this moment, Zhang Shicheng sent the second letter.
Faced with this letter, Zhang Ximeng's attitude was still very simple.
Maybe there was a little friction, but nothing needed to be done.
According to this rhythm, after Zhang Ximeng said that it would have been better if he had done something before, but it was too late, Zhang Shicheng could start the banquet, lively, and play a song of "Hundred Birds Facing the Phoenix" to send His Highness King Cheng to death!
Once Zhang Shicheng is finished, how will Chuzhou be preserved?
The desolation of the rabbit dying and the fox's sorrow enveloped everyone, including the officials under Lao Zhu, and they were not exempt from the custom.
So what is Zhang Ximeng doing?
"Actually, there is nothing more to say... The situation is similar to what we expected. Zhang Shicheng underestimated Yuan Ting's determination and did not carefully respond. It is reasonable to suffer a disastrous defeat in the early stage!" Zhang Ximeng analyzed calmly.
There were only four people attending the meeting this time. Jia Lu coughed lightly and said, "Having said that, the defeat was indeed too fast and too tragic! According to the secret report, Zhang Shicheng's troops in Gaoyou City at this moment are less than 20,000. Outside,
There are hundreds of thousands of Yuan troops who look like wolves and tigers, I don’t think they can hold it!"
Jia Lu almost said directly that Zhang Shicheng would definitely lose, and Li Shanchang obviously had the same view.
Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a long time and said: "If Zhang Shicheng really can't hold it, he will be defeated by the Yuan Tartars in a flash. It's useless for us to save him. We can only deploy troops and horses everywhere to fight the Yuan army to the death!"
Lao Zhu made up his mind, but Zhang Ximeng said: "My lord, Zhang Shicheng is a salt dealer, and all his subordinates are salt workers...Does my lord know the hard work of salt workers?"
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned, "We... don't know!"
Jia Lu squinted his eyes, thought for a while and said: "Salt workers are indeed hard-working. They have to carry two hundred kilograms of brine on their backs all year round, no matter winter or summer, and walk barefoot. After working for a few years, they will suffer from joint pain and pain.
It enters the bone marrow and life is worse than death!"
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but be surprised. Zhang Ximeng said seriously, "If I guess correctly, Zhang Shicheng is much stronger than we expected! Maybe he will never reach the fourth stage!"
