Secondly, Han Du's words are also very reasonable. Even if the Academy colludes with Liu Sanwu, there is no time for fraud.
But now after seeing Zhu Zidu ranked tenth in high school, everyone had strange looks on their faces.
Could it be that the scholars in the academy really cheated in the undergraduate examination? Otherwise, how could Zhu Zi be ranked tenth in high school?
Ding Mao ranked tenth in the joint examination. If he were placed in the previous subjects, he would be a proper Hui Yuan talent.
Zhu Zi has the talent of Huiyuan? Don't be kidding me. Everyone only knows that he has a sinister personality and eccentric behavior. We have never heard of him having any talent.
Not only did all the officials not believe it, but even Lao Zhu did not believe it.
He knew his son too well, and even when he was in the academy, he did not behave himself. He defrauded his classmates of their money. In Lao Zhu's view, this behavior was as bad as a gangster.
Such a Zhu Zi could also pass the tenth place in the national examination? It is simply the most ridiculous thing in the world!
"I also know that my father won't believe it. Why don't my father give me a question on the spot and test my son?" Zhu Zi knew that the impression he had left on his father in the past was too deep, oh, it wasn't a good impression.
Therefore, knowing that no matter how many explanations he gives, it will not be convincing, it is better to let his father give him a test.
Don't tell me, as soon as Zhu Zi said what he said now, Lao Zhu felt a strong sense of evil rushing towards his face.
Lao Zhu suddenly turned his head to look at Han Du, with an evil look in his eyes. Seeing Han Du nod his head, Lao Zhu began to believe that the scene in front of him was true. The son who had troubled him so much in the past actually had a son now.
Yuan’s talent?
Lao Zhu pondered for a while and decided to test Zhu Zi. After all, hearing is believing and seeing is believing. If this son really gets better and has such talents, it will be a great thing, right?
"Then let me ask you, if you were the official of a county, how would you govern it?"
Following Lao Zhu's question, all the officials turned their attention to Zhu Zi.
This issue is not simple. Counties and counties govern the world. Whether the world is stable or not depends on counties and counties. If you can govern a county well, you can govern a government well.
"Build roads according to local conditions." Zhu Zi replied with a faint smile without any hesitation.
Zhu Zi's answer surprised Lao Zhu, not because of the content of his answer, but because of his posture when he spoke.
In the past, Zhu Zi behaved erratically and was often taught a lesson by Lao Zhu. Therefore, when facing Lao Zhu, he was always timid, for fear of being taught a lesson.
The old man is afraid of wolves in front and tigers in the back.
Zhu looked down upon this son. Even if Zhu Yuanzhang was reduced to a beggar, he would never be afraid of anything.
But often after Zhu Zi had just been dealt with, he would not remember anything at all, and would take it out on the palace maids and eunuchs in a blink of an eye. In Lao Zhu's view, such behavior was a completely sinister villain's behavior.
Things can be solved through conspiracy and trickery, and there is no problem with that. But you must not be sinister in your behavior. You must be upright and upright, otherwise it will be difficult to achieve great things.
Many people are not open enough when doing things. Even partners have to be on guard here and there. But he never thought that since he is so smart, is his partner a fool? Every time he
The cover-up and precautions are clearly seen by others. Once others don't say anything, the two of them will part ways sooner or later.
But now, facing Lao Zhu, Zhu Zi held his head high, held his head high, and answered questions neatly and without any sloppiness.
Lao Zhu looked dazed for a moment, feeling that he was not facing the son who always obeyed him whenever he saw him, but a scholar with great talents.
Such a change filled Lao Zhu's heart with surprise. Fortunately, he kept calm and did not show it. He just nodded lightly and continued to ask: "When you are governing a country for the imperial court, shouldn't you first ensure that the people have food to eat? Why?
Instead of building water conservancy projects, we need to build roads first?”
Having said that, Lao Zhu's eyes moved to Han Du, obviously understanding where this concept of cultivating the road first came from.
Zhu Zi seemed to have a draft in his mind, and he said confidently: "It is not necessary to grow food to keep the people fed and clothed. For example, cotton can be grown. Now the income from cotton on one acre of land is five times that of growing food."
Times. If the local conditions were suitable, I would have asked the people to grow cotton instead of food. As for why we need to build roads first, only if the roads are dredged can it be easier for people to travel and can the cotton in the county be transported smoothly.
Only then can food from outside be transported in. The easier and more communication a place has with the outside world, the easier it will be for this place to develop and the easier it will be for the people to get rich.
If you want to be rich, build roads first.
If a son governs a county, he not only wants to feed and clothe the people, but also wants to make them rich."
Let’s not talk about whether Zhu Zi can do it or not, but he can say this sonorously and forcefully in the court.
When it came out, Lao Zhu felt extremely satisfied.
But before Lao Zhu could speak, the official named Huang on the side could not sit still and stood up to question Zhu Zi.
"I pay my respects to Your Highness." He first bowed to Zhu Zi, then raised his head and asked unceremoniously: "I won't talk about whether building roads can make people rich. I just want to ask Your Highness if you know how to build a road."
How much manpower and material resources are needed to build roads? People are already in dire straits of material resources and life is extremely difficult, so where can they find the extra energy to build roads?"
As the official surnamed Huang spoke, he shook his head and sighed, as if he was about to shed tears for the people. It was as if he was the one who truly cared about the people, and he was a truly good official.
But who is Zhu Zi? He relies on trickery and trickery to get by in the academy. Even smart people like Wang Yuanji have been deceived by him more than once.
What do you rely on to deceive people? Isn’t it just acting?
He, Zhu Zi, claimed to be second in the academy in terms of acting, but no one dared to claim to be first. Now this person named Huang is doing tricks in front of him. I really don't know how to write the word "death".
Zhu Zi saw through Huang's trick at a glance. He laughed in his heart, but said seriously: "Master Huang can be so empathetic to the people. If he can serve as a county official, it will definitely be a blessing to these people."
Damn it, you are cheating on me! The official surnamed Huang couldn't believe his ears and stared at Zhu Zi. He didn't understand how Zhu Zi became like this? Didn't it mean that he behaved recklessly and did things regardless of the consequences?
Why is it like this now? What seemed like a compliment to him forced him into a corner. It was neither asking him to answer nor not answering.
If he didn't answer, wouldn't it mean that everything he just said was false? Then wouldn't the tears he almost shed and his affectionate lawsuit just become a joke?
If he accepted it, he was afraid that Zhu Zi would push him again. He immediately asked the emperor to make him a county magistrate. What should he do?
He has done a good job as a capital official, but he was kicked in the head by a donkey before he went out to become an official, let alone a small county official.
Although in the officialdom, it is emphasized that the first-level official is the best, but at the same time, there is also a saying that the third-level official in Beijing is the best.
Even though he is only a fifth-rank official in the capital, when officials from various administrative envoys and envoys return to the capital, even if they are fourth-rank or third-rank officials, they will not pretend to be a superior official when they see him. They will often give him face to try to calm him down.
level is proportional.
Therefore, unless he is promoted to three levels in a row, no Beijing official is willing to be sent abroad.
When Zhu Zi saw the man surnamed Huang, he stopped at the words of this king. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. With his fighting ability, he was nothing in the academy. Is such a person worthy of standing up to embarrass me?
But even so, Zhu Zi was not ready to let him go. Seeing him lowering his head, Zhu Zi sneered: "Master Huang only knows that building roads costs money, but he doesn't know the benefits after building roads."
"It's just that it's easier to walk. What other benefits are there?" The official named Huang no longer had the aggressive aura as before, but he still said unconvinced.
Zhu Zi gave him a caring look that looked like an idiot, glanced at Huang's ugly face, raised his head slightly, and formed a strong contrast with Huang's, completely suppressing the official Huang's momentum.
"For example, if there is a journey of thirty miles, and the road is muddy and difficult to walk, a person can only carry about a hundred kilograms on his shoulders. If he wants to walk the thirty miles, it will take a whole day. But if this is combined
After the thirty-mile road is built into a cement road, a horse-drawn carriage can transport thousands of pounds at a time, and the time required is only an hour. In other words, what can only be done by fifty people can be done by a horse-drawn carriage after the road is built.
Done. Isn't this equivalent to saving the labor of forty-nine people? Labor is wealth, and these forty-nine people are creating wealth no matter what they do with the saved time."
"After a road is built, day after day, year after year, the labor saved will be a huge amount, and even the wealth that this labor can create has already far exceeded the cost of building the road. In this way,
Of course, if you do anything that is beneficial and harmless, you should do it as soon as possible."
"Okay, that's good!" Lao Zhu suddenly slapped his thigh and looked excitedly at his son standing below.
Many officials couldn't help but nod their heads. They were not flattering the emperor, but Zhu Zi's words were indeed very convincing. By quantifying general things with numbers and displaying them, people can clearly see the difference.
, if this is not convincing yet, then what can be done to be convincing?
Lao Zhu was even more satisfied with Zhu Zi, "He spoke with full confidence and high spirits. What he said was clear-cut and well-evidenced. This was very similar to the style of the policy essays written by the academy students in this conference. No, it was not very similar, but
They are basically from the same place.'
All the officials had the same impression of Zhu Zi. Now no one doubts the academy for fraud.
