Without Zhang Ximeng in the government, how to describe Li Shanchang's life?
At that time, three meals a day consisted of potato chips, and the only snacks were snacks.
The key to the court situation is balance. The problem with Zhang Ximeng is that he is too strong. He is so strong that His Majesty has to avoid three points. How can God allow such a powerful person to exist?
As soon as he left, he looked around at all the yamen and saw that everything was peaceful in an instant.
Li Shanchang firmly sat in the position of Prime Minister, and Zhu Sheng was not far away from resigning and returning home due to old illness. Wang Guangyang, the Minister of Civil Affairs, lost the support of Zhang Ximeng and became honest.
The original Ministry of Rites was successfully divided into the Academic Department and the Education Department... The Academic Department was mainly responsible for managing schools at all levels and supervising the implementation of the compulsory education law.
The Ministry of Education promotes state affairs and educates the world.
Coupled with the previously separated Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Rites finally came to an end.
Moreover, with the increase in the number of ministers, Li Shanchang, the prime minister, became more and more prominent. In Menxia Province, without Zhang Ximeng, he could only do his duty, supervise and evaluate officials, and could not cause more trouble.
The court situation is just like the water in the West Lake, it is calm.
The comfortable days are so intoxicating that Li Shanchang can't help but want to sing a few lines about "Looking at the mountain scenery at the top of the city..." By the way, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms has been officially written into a book and has been published and circulated.
Lao Luo also wanted to ask someone to compose a poem, and it would be best if Zhang Xianggong could help him. However, Zhang Ximeng was not in the capital, so he could only leave a blank page, waiting for Zhang Xianggong's mercy.
The courtiers had no fight, and the Emperor had no room for display.
In addition to the military parade celebrations for the tenth year of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Lao Zhu has been urging his children to do their homework these days... But there is an unfortunate problem. Zhu Yuanzhang encountered the same problem as most parents.
What should I do if my child can’t learn?
And there is an even more embarrassing thing. It doesn’t matter if the child doesn’t know how to do it. Even he, the father, can’t know some of the questions!
We are the emperor of tomorrow, the Nine-Five Supreme!
We actually don’t know how to do it?
It can't be done!
Lao Zhu was madly angry, but he had nothing to do. After all, math problems would not give the emperor face. Lao Zhu had no choice but to dig out the questions that Zhang Ximeng forced him to do.
Looking at the yellowed handwriting, Lao Zhu felt quite emotional. When he was studying and leading troops, he often kept spinning, and he hardly knew what tiredness was!
Maybe he is getting old too, otherwise how could he start to recall the past?
Zhang Ximeng didn't lie to him. Zhang Ximeng had already mentioned all the math problems, but now they just changed the form and the angle.
Lao Zhu thought about it carefully for a while and finally picked it up.
After all, Zhu Yuanzhang's IQ is reliable... But the problem is that when he learned to teach his children happily, Lao Zhu was surprised to find that he couldn't learn it just because he couldn't!
These idiots have no clue at all!
The fifth, sixth, and seventh laos are all lumps of elm wood. They can be cracked with an ax without enlightenment.
The same goes for several princesses, their stupidity is shocking and heart-wrenching!
Facing such a group of things, Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that he almost died. Facing courtiers, he had never been so helpless! He also heard that there were a lot of talented children around Zhang Ximeng, and even Zhang Shuning was outclassed.
Lao Zhu has gone crazy, or else he should go to Jimin Academy and experience the joy brought by genius... But in the short term, Lao Zhu can't leave Beijing because he can't find a suitable name.
He could only get angry and go to the harem... Then within a short period of time, news of the concubine's pregnancy continued to spread. I hope that if I have more children, I can give birth to one or two geniuses, so that I can support the Zhu family's appearance.
It's not too embarrassing.
In fact, Lao Zhu also made a mistake. His prince and princess basically have a passing IQ and average ability, or even a little better.
Already more than half of the children in the world.
But there is no way, Jiangxi is so defiant with so many literary talents... Hu Yan presided over the compilation of the Yongle Dadian in history, and Huang Guan is a super scholar, with six Kuiyuan poems. Comparing with them is simply not fun.
If Lao Zhu knew more, he would probably vomit blood... For example, there is a child who has just changed back to his original surname. His name is Yang Shiqi, and he has entered Jimin Elementary School and started to learn knowledge.
The future head of Sanyang has also begun to attend school. In addition, there is a two-year-old baby in Jishui who can recite poems and has an extraordinary memory... His name is Xie Jin.
All in all, Jiangxi's current talent density and number of gifted children can be counted throughout history, not to mention the Ming Dynasty.
What's more worth mentioning is that at this time, a large number of students from Jimin School went into the countryside to preach new laws and change customs. By the way, they also brought the astronomy and arithmetic knowledge taught by Zhang Ximeng to the people.
In addition to the old and new, the cultural level of the people has been greatly improved.
Another point is the establishment of Huaxia Bookstore, the use of movable type printing, various teaching materials, and the price has dropped to an acceptable level.
Let's put it this way, Jiangxi right now is like a pool of muddy water with plenty of nutrients. There are countless lotus seeds buried in it. They are frantically absorbing water, fertilizer and nutrients, just waiting for the opportunity to bloom into gorgeous flowers.
Lao Zhu couldn't figure this out. He was angry all day long and had a lot of anger. When he saw the news from Jiangxi, Lao Zhu finally exploded.
"There are no two days in the sky, and there are no two masters in the country! Someone actually ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, right under our noses. What on earth is going on in Zhongshu Province?"
Li Shanchang was quite surprised. When he saw this report, he just laughed it off. Everyone knew that this was a boring lunatic who wanted to keep his own territory.
Among those arrested, there was not a single soldier. If this could threaten the Ming Dynasty and the imperial court, they would not have to live.
In the past, this kind of thing might have wiped out the nine tribes.
However, in recent years, the Ming Dynasty has made rapid progress in terms of laws. For such a funny joke, it would be enough to be sentenced to exile, not even to death.
Li Shanchang wanted to treat it as a joke.
But Zhu Yuanzhang's sharp words made Lao Li pale in fright. Could it be that His Majesty wanted to use the topic as an excuse?
"If you return to the top, Zhongshu Sheng will immediately send people to conduct a thorough investigation. Such treasonous villains will be severely punished and the three tribes will be wiped out!"
"Wait!" Zhu Yuanzhang interrupted Li Shanchang, "Mr. Li, have you seen the results of Jiangxi's recent investigation of three aunts and six women to deal with civil chaos?"
Li Shanchang was slightly startled. Of course he had seen it, and he was also shocked... In a short period of time, Jiangxi had captured more than a thousand matchmakers, of which more than 700 were involved in kidnapping and human trafficking.
, these are just names and surnames. Those who cannot be found out and don’t know at all, let’s not talk about them.
In addition to human trafficking, there are also other things that bad people do, such as loan sharking, fraudulent property, and even running prostitutes...these are too numerous to mention.
Jiangxi initially arrested more than 5,000 people, and subsequent investigations are still ongoing. This number is likely to exceed 10,000.
This is just one province!
"It is indeed shocking to return to the throne... This time, Prime Minister Zhang went to give lectures, rectified the place, and changed customs. It was very effective. I thought I could give Prime Minister Zhang full authority to handle this matter!"
Zhu Yuanzhang chuckled, "Mr. Li, Mr. Zhang's skills are indeed good, but you can't use them to your death if you can't put them to good use! Isn't it inappropriate to keep him in Jiangxi to handle these trivial matters?"
Li Shanchang trembled all over, his little trick no longer worked.
The Ming Dynasty emphasized that people should make the best use of their talents, which is different from Daiying's approach of using talents until they are useless.
With Zhang Ximeng's status and use, Lao Zhu would not agree if he wanted to tie him up over trivial matters.
That is our important minister, and there are more important things!
"Mr. Li, we want to ask you, is this just the case in Jiangxi? Is everything else peaceful and peaceful?"
Lao Li was sweating on his forehead. He didn't dare to lie openly. "When I return to the top, Jiangxi's people are simple and honest, which is better than other places... The only places that have undergone vigorous rectification are Huaixi, Yingtian, Zhejiang and other places.
.Those who were the first to be included in the territory were sorted out from top to bottom. The powerful families were eradicated, the land was equalized, local schools were vigorously established, and militiamen protected them. All the messy things were swept away... and the rest were captured later.
Our territory, due to the rush of time, the myriad of things, and too many things, the rectification was not complete, leaving many hidden dangers!"
"Hidden danger?"
Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly slammed the table and shouted angrily: "Someone has proclaimed himself emperor. Is this a hidden danger? Is it possible that we have to wait until they bring their troops and horses to Yingtian and seize our throne before it becomes a serious problem?"
Lao Zhu was so furious that he was so frightened that Li Shanchang fell to his knees in a hurry, sweating profusely, "Your Majesty, veteran, I will arrange for people to go to various provinces and go all out to investigate the chaos. I will definitely punish you severely and never tolerate it!"
"Hmph! That's nice! Let me ask you, who are you going to let handle this matter? Is it the local government, the Ministry of Justice, or the Yushitai?"
Li Shanchang was stunned. According to common sense, the local government is responsible for implementation, and the court supervises it. If the job is not done well, people will be replaced.
If necessary, imperial envoys can be sent down from Yushitai.
But what Zhu Yuanzhang meant was obviously not this.
"I am confused for a moment and cannot understand the holy will. I hope your majesty will make it clear!"
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly, "Now that things are happening, shouldn't it be time to set up a special department to investigate these chaos from top to bottom, catch out all the worms and black sheep among the people, and clean them up!"
Want to set up another ministry?
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly: "Mr. Li, have you forgotten? You said that we should establish an official system according to the needs of the people... Let's see that the Ministry of Punishment is not enough now, what do you think?"
Li Shanchang was a little startled and said quickly: "Your Majesty is wise, this is indeed the case. I will make arrangements when I get back!"
"No need."
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "We have thought about it a lot, and in order to make this yamen run effectively and act decisively... we have decided to select a person from the army and let him be responsible for this!"
Li Shanda was shocked, "Your Majesty, who can do this?"
Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and said, "Zheng Yuchun is good! He served as a trainer and managed the soldiers very well! He also got rid of many bad habits among the soldiers. Now leave this matter to him and send him a group of veterans as helpers.
From top to bottom, help us put the world back together!"
