Nanming: I can build wonders

Chapter 298 Scholars' Discussion on New Daming (please subscribe!)
After the return of the Ming Dynasty, the minds of the scholars and even the elders became very active. Everyone directly agreed on places in different places in the outer city, and had a discussion, as if they had returned to the time when Qinhuai was romantic.

On the shore of Houhu Lake, a group of scholars sat around. The servants of their family had already set up wine glasses and various food for their young masters, and even the four treasures of the study, pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

The celebrities were sitting together, and they were in a good mood. A man wearing a blue scarf said emotionally: "I have never been so happy in my life. Today, I will have a clear understanding with you gentlemen!"

Just like a group of prisoners imprisoned in an invisible prison, they have been locked up for too long, and many emotions have been suppressed.

Until today, Jiangning has once again become the Yingtian Mansion. Although the new emperor worshiped the Taizu in Xiaoling silently but powerfully, it seems that the reversal of the Ming Dynasty is already in sight, and their group of scholars can gather together again, talking about it without using it. Worry about others.

Many people even shed tears while drinking.

"Mr. Shan Shi, you are very well informed, and may tell you what is going on in the new Ming Dynasty." When the wine was in full swing, someone suddenly asked.

Mr. Shan Shi is Wang Hongzhuan. He is from Huayin County, Shaanxi Province. He is over fifty years old. Although his appearance is ordinary, his temperament is very detached.

He is a good friend of Gu Yanwu. He likes to travel around the south of the Yangtze River.

It is said that he has no intention of official career, but in fact he just doesn't want to work hard for Daqing.

He doesn't work hard for Ta Qing, but he will lend a helping hand when he sees the people's life is not good.

In 1678, he visited Yan'an in the north and wrote the article "Yan'an Tuntian Discussion", advocating that the garrison in Suiyan area be allowed to garrison fields, reclaim wasteland, and grow food, which can not only supplement the shortage of military pay, but also solve the shortage of food for the people.

In another article "Yan'an Textile Discussion", he said that the price of cloth in Yan'an was several times higher than that in Xi'an, the people lived in poverty, and the national tax revenue was decreasing day by day because the local peasant women could not weave.

He advocated that the government distribute textile machinery and tools to the people in Yan'an, recruit textile experts in Guanzhong to teach technology, and help Yan'an develop the textile industry.

Now, as soon as he heard that Daming was back, he traveled to the south of the Yangtze River again from his hometown in Shaanxi. He planned to go to Lingnan to join the new Ming court after he finished his tour of the south of the Yangtze River.

Such a great Confucian, but he has a regret in his heart, that is, his good friend Gu Yanwu did not see the day when Daming came back.

Gu Yanwu passed away two years ago. In 1682, before the new Ming Dynasty made its fortune, he passed away suddenly and forever.

"Everyone, I don't know much about many things, but I know everything without saying a word. Speaking of which, I really only have admiration and admiration for our emperor. The emperor is only a weak year, but he has the courage and courage that ordinary people don't have. He Caixue, every time I think about it, I can't help but believe that this emperor is probably the reincarnation of the emperor star, and he was born to know it."

Someone asked: "Mr. Shanshi's words are too exaggerated. After all, the emperor is only a 20-year-old young man. If the great cause of helping the country can be successful, the ministers and generals of the court should have more credit."

But Wang Hongzhuan clapped his hands, and sighed: "I thought so before, but I was wrong! Think about it, my Ming Dynasty was almost wiped out, and the disaster of curse water, including Emperor Yongli, Duke Qian and other last The courtiers of the Ming Dynasty have all been martyred, and the king of Yanping County suffered a disastrous defeat in the Eastern Expedition, so who are the so-called ministers and generals left?"

Wang Hong wrote a lot of talk, and said: "I look at the emperor's new policy, this council is really a good one, the emperor broke the old system of Taizu, and re-established a prime minister, although it is not called that, it is called a prime minister, but basically it is still the same thing The House of Representatives has a prime minister and several deputy prime ministers, who discuss together with ministers of various ministries. When all decrees are implemented, there are laws to follow. The efficiency is not comparable to that of the cabinet. It seems that these are all formal things, but I visited the Xin Guozijian yesterday. , After listening to it a few times, I realized that there is a big mystery in my Great Ming Dynasty!"

"In addition, if you want to become officials in the new dynasty, you might as well read more of the emperor's books on true Confucianism."

Wang Hongzhuan woke up, after all, most of the people sitting here today are scholars who want to make a career in New Daming.

He had already met Zhu Kezang at the Xin Guozijian in Yingtianfu yesterday, and hit it off with the emperor immediately, and he was directly named Yingtianfu Yin, and he had to take office in two days.

Don't think it's just Fu Yin, this official position is a big one, the third grade, in the old Ming Dynasty, only Shuntian Mansion and Yingtian Mansion had the official position of Fu Yin.

When it comes to true Confucianism, there is a great Confucianist who has already defected to the true Confucianism.

He is Yan Yuan.

This guy corresponds exactly to Zhu Kezang's true Confucianism.

Yan Yuan devoted his whole life to practicing medicine and teaching, inherited and carried forward Confucius' educational thought, and advocated equal emphasis on "practice", "practical learning", "practice" and "practice", that is, moral education, intellectual education and physical education. Pay equal attention to those who are educated, and advocate cultivating fierce men with both civil and military skills and practical skills.

When he was 23 years old, he read through the books of seven schools of war. In order to learn the art of war and study military offensive and defensive techniques, he used to stay up all night, even practicing martial arts.

Moreover, when Yan Yuan was engaged in educational activities, he advocated educating students with the six virtues, six elements, and six arts of Duke Zhou and the four teachings of Confucius.

In the lecture hall he set up, there are qin, yu, bow, arrow, chips, and pipes. He leads students to study rites, music, archery, books, and mathematics every day, and explores practical knowledge such as soldiers, agriculture, water, and fire. .

If Zhu Kezang knew about this person, he would be invited to the Xin Guozijian as a sacrificial wine.

Yan Yuan can be said to be the kind of talent Zhu Kezang likes the most. If he cultivates more, he may even become the next prime minister.

Zhu Kezang didn't know this person, but Wang Hongzhuan did.

The purpose of Wang Hongzhuan's participation in the banquet today is to find some talents for Zhu Kezang to supplement the new Yingtian court that will be established soon.

When the banquet gradually came to an end, Wang Hongzhuan took Yan Yuan to a place where no one was around, and the two chatted about life while cooking wine.

"Hunran (Yan Yuan's words), why not tell you clearly that the emperor allowed me to take the official position of Tianfu Yin and asked me to find a scholar for him. I see that you agree with the emperor's true Confucianism. Follow me to the Guozijian tomorrow to meet the emperor. .” Wang Hongzhuan said straight to the point.

"Mr. Shan Shi, although I also intend to serve the Ming court, but there is still one thing on my mind, and I can't calm down." Yan Yuan said in embarrassment.

"Huran, what's the matter?"

It turned out that Yan Yuan's father was named Yan Chang. Because of his poor family, he adopted Zhu Jiuzuo's family in Liu Village, Lixian County as an adopted son when he was young, and changed his surname to Zhu.

Yan Yuan was born in Zhu's family and named Zhu Bangliang.

His father, Yan Chang, was often discriminated against and abused in Zhu's house. He was extremely angry and depressed, and had the idea of ​​fleeing the family.

In the winter of the 11th year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty, Huang Taiji led the Qing soldiers into the pass and plundered the Gyeonggi area. Yan Chang took the opportunity to escape with the army and fled outside the pass.

Yan Yuan is now 49 years old. His regret is that he wants to find his father.
