Zhang Ximeng did not ride a horse, but walked in a carriage and came to Jimin Academy with everyone else. This road was not unfamiliar to him, after all, he had recuperated here before!
"There have been a lot of changes. The roads are wider and there are more pavements. It's quite prosperous!" Zhang Ximeng praised with a smile.
Liu Sanwu accompanied him and said with the same smile: "In the beginning, Prime Minister Zhang advocated the establishment of Jimin School. Today, it has become the first-class school in the world... To be honest, now there are many literary talents, stars are shining, and Yuxi is beautiful. Jiangxi
His literary spirit is really unstoppable!"
Zhang Ximeng laughed and said, "That's true. At present, Jiangxi has the largest population, the largest number of school-age children, the highest enrollment ratio, and the deepest accumulation of teachers. It is indeed number one in the world. But in time, it may not necessarily be the case."
Qi Tai, Lian Zining and others were all startled, wondering what Zhang Xiang meant?
"It's natural to say this when it comes to literature and luck, but I prefer to analyze economic conditions... After all, supporting a scholar almost consumes the financial resources of the whole family. Supporting an ordinary school requires the financial resources of a county. A better school,
It requires the resources of a province, and for something like Jimin Academy, it requires the efforts of the whole country, and a lot of money is spent every year just from the national treasury."
Zhang Ximeng said: "So I want to say that no matter when, you must keep one thing in mind. Jimin Academy is a school for people all over the world. It recruits talents from all over the world and cultivates talents for the Ming Dynasty!"
Liu Sanwu hurriedly bowed, "I have written down what Prime Minister Zhang taught me. In fact, more than 30% of Jimin Academy are students from other places, and there are many elites among them. Among them, there are some from Yingtian, some from Huguang,
There are also people from Shaanxi...I believe Prime Minister Zhang will be able to see them soon."
Zhang Ximeng nodded and smiled, "I'm about to see the students... I just said that the school is supported by financial resources. For Jiangxi, in terms of geographical environment, there are some differences from Huaidong Province, Zhejiang Province, and even Fujian.
Especially in Huaidong Province and Susongchang Town, they are both prosperous places with prosperous industry and commerce and sufficient financial resources. They are willing to invest in running schools. For a year or two, they may not see the results, but if they persist for decades, two or three generations will pass.
, they will definitely rise, this is unstoppable.”
"From Jiangxi's perspective, I think Jiangxi should give full play to its talent advantages, look for wealth from inside its head, and be good at taking advantage of good opportunities for industrial and commercial development. The court has given support and must not miss this opportunity."
After hearing what Zhang Ximeng said, Qi Tai immediately said: "Xiang Zhang, in fact, we also encourage students to invent and create. Let's just say that now, a student has taken the lead and set up a bookshop to print literacy cards. This is a great contribution to education.
"
Zhang Ximeng was startled and said casually: "I saw it in Yingtian... I heard that they use movable type printing?"
Qi Tai nodded immediately, "It is indeed movable type, using wooden movable type. This was invented by a senior official of the Yuan Dynasty named Wang Zhen, but we have been able to innovate and bring out the new, and we are doing our part in book printing."
Liu Sanwu also smiled and said: "It's a good thing that we have talented people in our school... I just wonder if there will be any problems if teachers and students run workshops?"
This question was asked by Zhang Ximeng.
"Entrepreneurship is naturally a good thing, but there are a few things that must be clarified. If a teacher ignores his own duties and only focuses on money, this will definitely not work. Furthermore, students can use their talents, but remember that they cannot
Turning students into coolies, let alone abusing student workers, must have proper regulations. If it does happen that a teacher is bent on making money, evading responsibility, and enslaving students, I will not be polite. Even if there are no detailed regulations in the regulations,
We will also impose a heavy fine of more than three times compared to similar cases!"
Zhang Ximeng glanced at the people around him, "Teachers are dignified, respect teachers and teach! Teachers must first be upright and truly set an example for students. As teachers, you must have a correct attitude towards those black sheep!"
Liu Sanwu and others agreed again in unison.
Zhang Ximeng came here this time not only to give lectures, but also to rectify academic affairs and set standards for the school's business practices.
Liu Sanwu and others felt awe-inspiring. They knew that things were not simple this time, but don't think that Zhang Xiang came here just to put money on their faces and let Jimin Academy fly to the sky!
If Prime Minister Zhang catches the problem and punishes the two of them severely, then they will not have much face left.
While everyone was talking, they were walking forward. They were still about ten miles away from Jimin Academy. Suddenly, gongs and drums were beating loudly on both sides, and colorful flags were fluttering.
Teachers and students who came to welcome Zhang Xiang had already filled the roads on both sides.
Zhang Ximeng is not just the king of Lu, but also the right prime minister. He has written history and redefined the rules and regulations over the years. His status in the academic world is even higher than that of the court.
It’s almost as good as saying that while the Master is still alive, saints and sages are reborn.
If Zhang Ximeng hadn't repeatedly requested it, don't arrange for outsiders to greet him, just people from the school. Half of Jiangxi could come here.
Not to mention anything else, officials from the Third Division, tax collectors from the Ganjiang River, grain chiefs and common people from all over the country, as well as wealthy businessmen and celebrities, and even many veterans and soldiers will all come.
Even Zhang Ximeng didn't know who would come here!
His status and influence have reached a terrifying level.
Emperor Zhu and Xianggong Zhang can be compared.
The person who has experienced this most intuitively is Zhang Shuning.
Before that, he only knew that his father was very powerful and powerful. Especially when he saw Zhang Ximeng scolding Lao Zhu, Zhang Shuning was shocked. It turned out that his father showed his sharp edge and was so terrifying!
But today, he had to admit that his views were still too simple.
Why is Zhang Ximeng so famous?
Why do you have so much power?
Why should Lao Zhu be afraid?
Just because he looks good?
Obviously this is not enough... Zhang Ximeng assisted Zhu Yuanzhang and formulated too many rules. It is no exaggeration to say that more than 80% of the basic national policies of the entire Ming Dynasty were set by Zhang Ximeng.
Take the matter of equal land as an example. Zhang Ximeng not only settled on equal land when he started his business, he also reiterated equal land a few years ago to fill in the loopholes.
Even if you are a noble military official, whoever dares to touch the land system will lose his head.
Even the vassal king only had 500 acres.
Ninety percent of the farmers in the world are grateful to Zhang Ximeng for being able to achieve this level of land system.
It is precisely with the land system as the foundation that schools can be established and millions of students can enter schools and learn to read and write.
With this in mind, students should respect this living Master.
He didn't just write a few articles "reciting and dictating the whole text", he actually gave most students the opportunity to go to school.
On the other hand, Zhang Ximeng is a person who advocates the development of industry and commerce. He has won too many benefits for businessmen all over the world. Except for those wealthy merchants who made money by relying on the bad habits left by the Yuan Dynasty, merchants regard Zhang Ximeng as a
Protector's.
When we arrived at Jimin Academy, a lot of land was allocated to meritorious soldiers.
After a few years, they finally understood what this land meant.
As long as you live nearby, your children can enter the Jimin School's elementary school... Although it is only an elementary school, it is also run by Jimin School. They are taught by famous teachers, the textbooks are reasonably compiled, and the students have a bright future. The proportion of those admitted to Jimin Elementary School is
More than half.
There are so many provinces in the world that no one would envy.
Even wealthy businessmen covet this land.
If it weren't for the strict prohibition against touching the land, the land of Jimin School would have been taken away by others.
In a word, Zhang Ximeng is kind to the world!
No matter from which angle you look at it, Xianggong Zhang is a benefactor to everyone, and he is also the kind of benefactor who regenerates with kindness.
After all, it was Zhang Xianggong's advocacy of people-centeredness and equality of all peoples that saved everyone from the miserable situation of the late Yuan Dynasty and other people, allowing them to straighten their backs and live like human beings.
Ten years after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the people still cannot forget this!
That kind of admiration that comes from the bottom of my heart and the gratitude that is engraved in my bones cannot be faked.
Having such a father is really stressful!
In fact, frankly speaking, Zhang Shuning may have a harder time than Zhu Biao.
After all, Zhu Yuanzhang was just a mere founding hero!
His father is a true sage!
Zhang Shuning shook his head and cheered up. Suddenly he was not so scared. After all, being Zhang Ximeng's son would accompany him throughout his life. Could he change his father?
Even if you are not exposed now, you will be exposed sooner or later!
Anyway, it’s the same knife!
Nothing amazing!
Zhang Shuning calmed down and calmed down a lot.
He suddenly raised his head, trying to look far away, and saw a group of people appearing on the horizon, coming this way... At the same time, someone shouted, "Prime Minister Zhang is here!"
Immediately, the sound of firecrackers sounded, and twenty pairs of students were arranged to walk along both sides of the road with water in their hands, sprinkle water on them, cover up the dust, and welcome Prime Minister Zhang to arrive.
At the same time, someone came to Zhang Shuning and gave him a bouquet of flowers and herbs to give to Prime Minister Zhang.
In ancient times, people broke willows to say goodbye, but now it makes sense to greet distinguished guests with flowers.
In fact, this is the etiquette to welcome the victorious soldiers, which mainly involves scattering flower petals on the ground and stepping on them in triumph.
Gradually, someone also sent a whole bouquet of flowers.
Zhang Shuning has white teeth and red lips. He is a handsome young man. His bright red clothes are very bright and decorated with a bouquet of flowers. He looks as handsome as a groom!
"Zhang Shuning! Cheer up!" Xia Zhifeng, who was among the students, suddenly shouted at the top of her lungs.
Compared to Zhang Xianggong, she felt that Zhang Shuning, her classmate and friend, was more important.
Zhang Shuning was also perked up. He pondered a little and smiled... After all, no matter how great his father is, there are still people who regard him as more important than Mr. Zhang!
This is the meaning of friends!
Thinking of this, Zhang Shuning took big steps and faced him decisively.
The distance between the two parties is getting closer and closer... When Zhang Ximeng saw his son, he was no less shocked than Zhang Shuning, but Zhang Ximeng was more sophisticated and calm, and no one could see it!
son!
That's my son!
He is obviously not number one, how can he represent Jimin Academy?
Zhang Ximeng was puzzled. At this moment, Qi Tai, who was next to him, said: "Xiang Zhang, this student is also named Zhang, and his name is Zhang Shuning. He is the bookshop he runs and prints literacy cards. The child has excellent academic performance and is extremely intelligent.
.He has good academic performance and is still young and mature, very good!”
Zhang Ximeng raised his eyebrows, but in the end he just nodded, "The school is full of talented people, so it's naturally a good thing!"
At this time, Zhang Shuning came directly in front of Zhang Ximeng. When the two men's eyes met, Zhang Shuning suddenly noticed a hint of surprise and surprise in his father's face.
Turns out it’s not just me who’s embarrassed!
When Zhang Shuning thought of this, he was no longer so afraid. Instead, he felt a sense of excitement and held up the flowers high and sent them to Zhang Ximeng's hands.
"Welcome to Mr. Zhang and wish him good health!"
Zhang Ximeng subconsciously took it, paused, and said, "I also hope you will study hard and make progress every day!"
