"Congratulations, Prime Minister! Congratulations, Prime Minister! The Guiyi Army was able to reach Lanzhou by boat, all thanks to the Prime Minister's planning!"
As soon as Cai Jing got the news, he was the first to congratulate Zhang Yue.
Zhang Yue smiled and said, "Fan Yu, Wang Hou and the others have done a good job!"
Cai Jingdao: "There were many people who questioned the Prime Minister in the court before. Now we should publicize this matter."
"At the same time, Beijing has another plan, dedicated to the Prime Minister!"
"What's the plan?"
Cai Jingdao: "The people in Beijing have the custom of listening to books. We can turn this into a storyteller and publicize it, and have the court rehearse operas and perform them on the roads, so that the people will know the heroic feat of the rebel army returning eastward."
Zhang Yue lamented that Cai Jing's mind was still very active and he always thought of everything in front of him.
"You can handle this matter as you wish, but don't go too far, lest the people don't like it."
Cai Jing smiled and said: "Prime Minister, don't worry. Beijing can also find someone who is good at writing in Beijing to write it, and then order storytellers to tell it, and then turn it into an opera and shadow puppet show, so that the people can watch it without spending a penny."
Zhang Yue nodded slowly and used the influence of storytelling and drama to publicize the heroic feat of the Guiyi Army's return to the east among the people.
It was indeed a good move.
Although Cai Jing is currently studying daily life, he is also serving as an errand in Zhang Yue's official system detailing department.
In the Han Dynasty, the prime minister could open a mansion. At that time, the prime minister had great power, but later he was not allowed to do so.
The Bureau of Official Structure Detailed Development is just like Wang Anshi's three departments of Ordinances in his time. He can select whatever talents he wants to find into the Department of Official Structure Detailed Development.
At the beginning, in addition to Wang Anshi, Chen Shengzhi also served as the three departments of Ordinance.
But now, Zhang Yue is the only one who can promote the official system.
Later, most of the backbone of the New Party came from the Ordinance Department of the Third Department, and Zhang Yue had the same plan. In the name of "revising the official system," whatever talents he wanted were recruited into the official system and placed in the detailed division.
This became a place for me to cultivate and observe talents. At the same time, if I had anything to do, I would directly ask the people in the Department of Official Development to handle it.
Moreover, after Zhang Yue Yuanfeng's New Deal, the establishment of the Taixue College of Traditional Chinese Medicine, the establishment and supervision of Anji Square and Youci Square were all handled by the Department of Detailed Planning. Now Cai Jing wants to praise the return of the Guiyi Army to the east.
It was also up to him to handle this matter through the Department of Official Detailing.
The Department of Detailed Official Structure was separated from his own west hall by a wall, and could participate in the formulation of everything. It had almost the same role as the inspector of the fifth room of Zhongshu, but he only listened to Zhang Yue.
Zhang Yue said to Cai Jing: "Of all the people, you, Chief Yuan, are the most in line with my wishes."
Cai Jing said with surprise and joy: "Yuan Chang is so ashamed."
…
After Cai Jing left, Su Song, the imperial eunuch, arrived. Zhang Yue said to Su Song, "Zirong, the great competition in the fifth year of Yuanfeng is not far away."
"If we want to plan for the great competition in the fifth year of Yuanfeng, then the rural competition in the fourth year of Yuanfeng should give scholars all over the world a model. In this case, we can make big plans in the third year of Yuanfeng."
What is the imperial examination?
Select future officials of the imperial court through ideology.
Su Songdao: "Nowadays, Taixue Zhongzi theory is no longer allowed to be taught. At the same time, Mao Shiyi and Shangshu Yi among the three classics are not easy to promote, leaving "Zhou Guan Xinyi" as the formula for the coming year. I don't know what else the prime minister has.
Show me?"
Zhang Yue said: "Today Taixue has taught Mencius and Doctrine of the Mean. In the provincial examination in the fourth year of Yuanfeng, this was included in the program. In the future, Taixue will test these three classics in its examination of classics and meanings."
"Finally, there is the study of Darong, whose content is equivalent to the study of Confucian classics and history!"
Today there are 2,400 Tai students.
Generally speaking, the policy of Wang Anshi and Zhang Yue at that time is still followed, the system of upper, middle and lower houses. There are 100 people in the upper house, and those who pass the internal examination of Taixue can be awarded officials in the first class, exempt from the provincial examination in the second class, and those in the third class
Wait for the solution test.
Three hundred people from the middle group passed the exam to make up for the top group.
In the end, there were 2,000 people.
At the same time, teaching is still based on Suhu teachings, which are divided into two parts: the meaning of scriptures and the management of affairs.
This is a teaching method founded by Hu Yuan.
The meaning of the classics is the study of classics, that is, the study of Mingti.
Zhiyong refers to the disciplines of history, law, martial arts, water management, medicine, arithmetic, government management, craftsmanship, etc., which is also the study of practical application.
In addition, there are medicine, painting, etc., which are not among the upper, middle and lower classes of Taixue students, but they are also Taixue subjects.
Zhang Yue stipulated that Taixue students should study both the classics and their practical application. In the internal examination of Taixue, both the classics and their application were given equal emphasis.
Nowadays, among the Tai students, there are the most scholars in Shixuezhai, followed by the disciplines of law, government of the people, and martial arts.
In fact, training officials through classics, meanings and history was the method that the First Emperor had used consistently for two thousand years.
Even today, when you move from a grassroots position to a middle-to-high-level management position, you realize that it was exactly the two subjects that you thought were useless when you were studying that philosophy and history play a huge role in management.
Classics and philosophy are about values and ideologies.
History is about human nature and systems. What happened in history will still happen today.
Therefore, philosophy and history may seem useless, but in fact they are useful. For Zhang Yue, a science man from a poor family, he must look for a job in a pragmatic way, but the scope of employment in philosophy and history is too narrow, and it is definitely not for him.
Within consideration.
Of course, those students whose families have mines can easily choose these two seemingly useless sciences. They can just let their subordinates handle the specific affairs. They don’t have to think about the specific work at all. On the contrary, these two subjects are exactly what they want.
What managers need to master.
Therefore, it is expected that most Tai students study classics and history.
However, Zhang Yue has always advocated the integration of history into Ming Ti Zhai, that is, any student should study classics and history together, and then choose another subject that is useful, so that the entire teaching system for officials can be considered complete.
Why?
Because the effort lies outside of poetry.
You can't go straight to these two subjects just to be an official.
Therefore, he prefers to use officials like Su Song, Shen Kuo and Xu Guangqi of the Ming Dynasty. Although Shen Kuo has a low emotional intelligence, his ability to do things is really strong, but he does not have any bad intentions.
Su Song understood Zhang Yue's intention of reforming next year's imperial examination program.
After listening to Zhang Yue's instructions, Su Song said: "I will go back and do what the prime minister ordered."
"One more thing, Huang Shang, the candidate recommended by the Prime Minister, is now a passing candidate."
Zhang Yue smiled when he heard this and said, "You are indeed talented?"
Su Song said: "He is indeed a talented person. He ranked first in all subjects in this Imperial Examination."
"That's good. Of course, I think he is hungry and cold, and for the sake of being a scholar, I will help him as much as I can. It would be best if he has this talent."
Su Song said with a smile: "We are all scholars. For the sake of being the same ancestor, we should be close to each other."
After listening to Su Song's words, Zhang Yue smiled and said, "That's right."
…
While they were talking, a chamberlain came to Zhongzhong and wrote: "I would like to inform you, Sir, that the 20,000 rebel troops and the people of the Long family have returned to Lanzhou. Your Majesty invites you to discuss the aftermath."
Zhang Yue said: "Thank you for your work."
After hearing the news, Su Song stood up and congratulated Zhang Yue.
Zhang Yue couldn't bear it anymore and immediately left the west hall.
Zhang Yue walked to the door and subconsciously glanced at the Privy Council Office, but saw that Feng Jing and others were also going out.
It's cold in late autumn at this time.
The others put on Feng Jingzheng's thick clothes.
Zhang Yue saluted Feng Jing from a distance, and Feng Jing nodded with an indifferent expression, then walked forward with his hands behind his hands.
The two of them walked to one side and headed towards the main hall together, clearly distinguishable from each other.
The two were more than ten meters apart, still talking from a distance. Feng Jing said: "Historical Museum, you won again this time!"
Zhang Yue said: "I don't dare to take it. Thanks to the prime minister for reminding me before."
Feng Jing smiled. The two of them walked halfway, and Cai Que also walked out of the east hall of Zhongshu.
Cai Que took a look at the situation between Zhang Yue and Feng Jing. Cai Que and Feng Jing were now in-laws, and the two had a very good relationship. However, he did not want to offend Zhang Yue, so he fell a few steps behind them and did not stand on their own.
Go aside.
Feng Jing said to Zhang Yue: "The History Museum is still young, and the servant was young once, but the History Museum has never been old."
"I have seen many young people say that they will never regret it, but I have never heard an old man of my age say that they have no regrets."
"History, a good word, remember it in your heart and think twice before you act."
Zhang Yue knew that Feng Jing still felt that he was not wrong, so he said: "Feng Gong, the stone is full of jade and the mountains are brilliant, and the water is full of pearls and the river is beautiful. There are some strange sentences that can make the whole article shine, from the victory of Lanzhou to the return of the army to the East
Come on, my servant has made great achievements so far, isn’t this enough to embellish it?”
Feng Jing nodded and said nothing.
Zhang Yue knew that he didn't say he won. Feng Jing had no airs as an official, his face was solemn, and although he didn't speak much, he was on point.
Of course, Feng Jing would not admit defeat, and Zhang Yue did not think that he could defeat the opponent with just a few words and victory after victory.
Several people arrived at the palace, and Wang Gui arrived a moment later. Everyone saluted him.
Wang Gui looked at Zhang Yue. This time the Guiyi Army returned eastward smoothly, which would surely make his words in front of the emperor a little more weighty.
Wang Gui smiled and said a few words, which were all words that were obviously flattering but not nutritious.
Zhang Yue is neither humble nor responsive. When he reaches their level, he has returned to his original nature. In some places, everyone stops pretending.
When life reaches his level, from the perspective of Maslow's five needs, Zhang Yue is left with only self-realization.
As for other people's respect and sense of security, they are not included in this list. I don't even care about future generations' evaluations or how history books write them.
The same goes for Wang Anshi and Sima Guang.
Wang Anshi often said that others did not understand him, so he wrote a poem.
The two illusory bodies of Danqing and I will turn into dust after passing through the world.
But knowing that this thing is not something else, don’t ask whether people today are like people in the past.
So it is difficult for ordinary people to understand their persistence.
After a while, the official's palace came to the palace.
At this moment, he was full of energy and said: "Although the Guiyi army was slaughtered, more than 20,000 people have returned to their homeland. I am really happy."
"I am moved by the fact that tens of thousands of people still miss the Han family and return one after another at all costs."
Zhang Yue smiled after hearing this. Guan Jia is also a person who pursues 'self-realization'.
When he reached the level of an emperor, the only thing that moved him about world affairs was his obsession with reviving the Song Dynasty and recreating the atmosphere of the Han and Tang Dynasties.
The official looked at Zhang Yue and said: "Your contribution to this matter is the greatest! Without your foresight and planning thousands of miles away, how could the twenty thousand people return to their homeland alive?"
"What a clear decision!"
Zhang Yue said: "Your Majesty, I don't have any foresight. I only know one sentence: 'Know what is lacking but forge ahead; look at the distant mountains and do your best'."
