Zheng Yuchun was granted the title of Marquis of Xingyang. Among the nobles, he was only considered average. But everyone knew that he represented a special group of trainers. Whether in the army or with Zhu Yuanzhang, he was extraordinary and his status was very high.
.
This time to rectify the place, Lao Zhu saw clearly that the matter was very complex and trivial, and it was necessary to dispatch smart and capable people with strong execution ability, who were also very honest and reliable.
Sending civilian officials down, they don't have the drive to move forward, so it won't work.
If you let Jin Yiwei do it, you will inevitably hit the mosquitoes with firecrackers.
These people do dare to do it, but the problem is that they are too daring to do it.
If the skin is scratched on your leg, these people can amputate it. Moreover, Jin Yiwei is responsible for dealing with major cases. Without enough identity, it is not Jin Yiwei's turn to take action.
So after careful consideration, Zheng Yuchun was the most suitable person.
His integrity has been tested in the military, and he has strong execution ability and has the vigorous and resolute style of a military man. He is also relatively careful and has great experience in rectifying people's hearts and eradicating evil.
It can be said to be the best candidate.
But even so, Lao Zhu was not completely reassured and wanted to know his thoughts.
"Your Majesty, I have read a lot of memorials about Jiangxi these days, and I have a little understanding of them... These gangs of aunts and wives, defrauding money and buying and selling people... can be said to have been a chronic disease among the people since ancient times. In order to avoid causing trouble, the imperial court has always
No one cares about it. Therefore, among the people, stealing and robbing are both serious crimes. However, fraud and money fraud are often attributed to the victim being careless. He deserves to be deceived and can only admit that he is unlucky. Because of this matter, people often
Some people have committed suicide. I have heard that some old people committed suicide by taking brine after being deceived. There are also countless people who have committed suicide by hanging from beams and drowning in rivers and wells. Just mentioning it makes me angry. I really wish I could kill all these unnecessary people.
Faced beast!"
Lao Zhu nodded, "What you said is correct, but have you ever thought about how to get started?"
Zheng Yuchun said: "I haven't slept all night, just thinking about this matter. If I rely on the power of the imperial court to investigate thoroughly, it will be useless, and it will end up with thunder and rain. So I think the key is
We still need to mobilize the people, use local power, let the people come out to report and identify... Once the crime is confirmed, execute it immediately. Don't waste time and delay it for a long time. Let the people see the changes, boost the morale of the people, and then go all out.
Only by eradicating evil can we treat both the symptoms and the root causes and achieve good results!"
Lao Zhu smiled and nodded repeatedly, "Sure enough, we are right! Just like when we raised the army to eradicate the powerful landlords, we must use thunderbolt methods and show no mercy! Sweep away these cockroaches, mice, flies and mosquitoes!
"
Zheng Yuchun hurriedly accepted the order, and then said: "Your Majesty, I dare to request an order. Since this matter started in Jiangxi, I will first go to Jiangxi to understand the situation of the case... By the way, I will ask Prime Minister Zhang for advice and see what his situation is.
I mean, if it is done in Jiangxi, it will be easier to spread throughout the country. Otherwise, I am worried that it will not be thorough enough, but it will be based on facts and ruin your majesty's good intentions."
Lao Zhu pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "As you have said, go ahead! Give my regards to Mr. Zhang."
Zheng Yuchun quickly agreed, and then he set off from Yingtian and went straight to Jiangxi.
After he entered Jiangxi, especially Xingzi County, he really felt something different.
On the walls everywhere, there are slogans, bold handwriting, clearly written: If you abandon your children today, you will grow up lonely and helpless.
Anyone who dares to buy someone will be beheaded and skinned.
If you don’t believe in the three aunts and the six wives, be an upright and good person.
…
These slogans were recently filled in by students. They walked around the countryside and explained the principles of the law to the people.
In the beginning, things didn't go very well, and the people didn't bother to listen at all. It was even said that some villages had xenophobic tendencies and verbally attacked the students.
This makes Hu Yan and others very hurt. They are obviously treating you well, how could this happen?
Fortunately, among their veterans, there are people who have experienced it.
When I first went to the private sector to allocate farmland, I encountered this situation. We had never met each other, so who knew if you were kind? Why should I believe what you say?
In fact, the difficulty in communication is not how exquisite your words are, but how to make people believe that you are doing it for his own good. After all, we have become a family, and wielding the sickle is more powerful.
Hu Yan and others learned a lesson. They asked students from the village to come forward and communicate with their elders. Then they asked senior teachers, including some veterans, to explain to them carefully and patiently persuade them.
Gradually, they gained the trust of the people. Everywhere they went, many villagers took the initiative to prepare venues, arrange tables and chairs for them, and even prepare tea and snacks.
The feeling of being trusted and valued gives students a special sense of accomplishment.
It can completely offset fatigue, and everyone works extra hard.
Moreover, Hu Yan also discovered a problem. In fact, the most fundamental problem why the common people were deceived by those nuns and Taoists was that the common people knew too few things and lacked knowledge. Apart from the things around them, they knew nothing about the outside world. Just a few words
You can deceive them with just one sentence.
Especially after encountering some strange things, you can only ask gods for divination, and then you get stuck in the quagmire.
After much thought, Hu Yan decided that in addition to giving lectures, he would also set up literacy classes in rural areas to help people become illiterate... Then he bought some newspapers. Every time he went to give lectures in various villages, he would read newspapers to everyone and tell them that outside
situation so that they would not be in the dark.
After using this trick, the effect is immediate.
Many veterans, including many veterans, also used their experience in literacy in the military to make small blackboards to encourage literacy. Whoever recognizes more and faster will be given some small rewards.
And those who learn the best can join their team and go to other villages to teach the villagers... This suddenly ignites the enthusiasm of the people.
Folks are scrambling to start a wave of literacy. Children teach their parents, younger brothers teach their elders, and even wives teach their husbands... Anyway, no matter what your status is, as long as you are literate, you will be respected and you can become a teacher.
The most direct result of this incident is that the supply of Huaxia Bookstore’s flashcards exceeds demand.
It turns out that the model of one hundred and eight generals is no longer enough.
I had to rush to work at short notice and came up with a set of cards to clean up the garbage and eliminate bad habits... Once launched, it was widely praised.
In a short period of time, the number of employees employed by Huaxia Bookstore increased five times.
As Zhang Shuning holds 60% of the shares, he seems to have made a fortune and become a real rich man.
However, his life has not changed much. He still studies hard, takes more notes, and sums up his experiences.
Maybe she felt that they were about to separate, so Xia Zhifeng prepared a thick stack of notes for Zhang Shuning, all of which she had written recently.
"There are many problem-solving ideas and methods that I have summarized here. You can refer to them, and you can also use them if you want to teach new students."
Xia Zhifeng bent her crescent-shaped eyes and suddenly wrote two words on the table with her fingers.
When Zhang Shuning saw this, his expression suddenly changed and his brows furrowed.
Before he could speak, Xia Zhifeng laughed and said, "I guessed it right. There are two best schools in the Ming Dynasty. How could you let the other go?"
Zhang Shuning was stunned. Needless to say, his friend's genius was so great that she guessed it and there was nothing he could do about it.
"I heard that there is a different style from Jimin Academy. They adopt a closed management, similar to a military camp. I have to live in the academy at ordinary times. I can only go out at least during the holidays. And there is martial arts there. I
I have to learn martial arts hard and at least keep fit, I want to be able to fight ten!"
Xia Zhifeng smiled, and she suddenly realized that the husband seemed to be from Shandong, and Zhang Shuning should also be from Shandong. Sure enough, he had the potential to practice martial arts.
"Well, I wish you both civil and military skills and success in your studies!"
Zhang Shuning agreed happily, but then said: "I remembered, today seems to be the day when she will be executed, buying and selling people, and committing crimes several times. The crimes are so heinous that no one can stop her."
Xia Zhifeng was stunned. It was really shocking that a relative and elder died like this, and because he committed the felony of selling people.
However, Xia Zhifeng quickly regained her composure, "She brought it upon herself, and no one can control it. I will be studying in the school at the moment, and I will go to Beijing in a while, so just pretend it doesn't exist!"
Xia Zhifeng thought for a while and then asked: "Caught so many criminals and killed them all?"
Zhang Shuning shook his head, "Of course not. In fact, only more than 10% of the people were killed. The other crimes were not that serious, and the public's anger was not very serious. They have to be sent to Peking."
"Assigned to Peiping?" Xia Zhifeng became interested, "Have you ever been to Peiping? I heard that it is very cold there and the wind and sand are strong, so the life must be very difficult, right?"
At this moment, Zhang Shuning was in a daze.
He has never been to Peiping, but he is very familiar with the people in Peiping!
Whether it was King Zhu Di of Yan, or his uncle Jiang Ke at the Changlu Saltworks, Lan Yu, Zhu Wenzheng, Li Wenzhong, or even Li Jinglong, Hua Wei... he was all too familiar with them.
Xia Zhifeng noticed that Zhang Shuning was in a daze and guessed something, "Do you have any friends in Peiping?"
Zhang Shuning nodded slightly, "They are indeed very good friends. I plan to give him some gifts."
He did what he said, and immediately assigned the task to Huaxia Bookstore. No matter how heavy the task of printing flashcards or books is here, I must spare my energy and print out 100,000 books as soon as possible.
Zhang Shuning did not tell everyone the purpose, but in fact it was sent to Peking and handed over to Zhu Di.
It's interesting to say that after knowing each other for so many years, this is the first time that Zhang Shuning has given Zhu Di something seriously.
A hundred thousand books, Zhu Laosi, are you happy? Are you surprised?
Zhu Di couldn't laugh or cry when he received this generous gift from Zhang Shuning.
Don't you know I don't like reading?
Are you still torturing me with this?
Li Jinglong became interested, and he yelled at Zhu Di: "King Yan, not long ago, a man named Huang Zicheng came to Peiping, and he is organizing a school. Do you think we can build the best school in the world?
"
Zhu Di was stunned, "What's the best? Where do you want to put Jimin Academy and Fudan Academy?"
"Of course we put it behind us!" Li Jinglong shouted: "If we want to do it, we can go to the best and largest school in the world. What do you think of calling it Beiping School?"
Zhu Di smiled, "According to you, it might as well be called Peking University Hall! At least it sounds grand!"
Unexpectedly, due to Zhu Di's joke, Huang Zicheng actually arrived at the palace the next day.
"Your Highness, as long as you agree to run a school, ordinary people are willing to go through fire and water for Your Highness, no matter what!"
