Daming iron-blooded Chief Assistant

Chapter 155
I visited Sun Zhifu for a day, and it was not until the afternoon that Zhang Zongxian summoned him.

This is the first time for Sun Zhifu to see Zhang Zongxian. In his opinion, the governor Zhang Zongxian has an indescribable self-confidence, and his eyes are full of arrogance.

"The next official, Sun Mingyuan, pays a visit to Zhang Zhitai."

Zhang Zongxian also observed Sun Zhifu, neither skinny nor fat, although he was over fifty years old, he was still in good spirits, and his body looked strong.Even if he doesn't speak, he can reveal a literati elegance.

"Sun Zhifu is exempt from courtesy. Although the governor is your boss, he is still half-in-law now. You and I don't need to be polite. Take your seat quickly."

Sun Zhifu, as a veteran in the officialdom, could not be as casual as Zhang Zongxian.

"The superior and the inferior cannot be dismissed, how can the inferior officials be rude."

Seeing the rigidity of scholars in Ming Dynasty, Zhang Zongxian stopped persuading him.Straight to the point.

"Prefect Sun visited my Legislative School for a day, what advice do you have?"

The governor must have had a deep meaning in letting him go to the academy. He also has a lot of questions after visiting the academy himself?

"How dare I see you as an official, I just have a little doubt?"

"Speak out if you have any questions? Since you are already the father-in-law of my first disciple, you and I are already a family in the eyes of outsiders, so naturally we won't have any reservations about you! Answering your questions is also for you Clearly serve the governor."

Seeing what Zhang Zongxian said so bluntly, although Sun Zhifu was not used to it, he knew that he had made the right bet at this moment. There was really a shortage of people like him around Zhang Zongxian.
"Zhitai, I see that the Academy of Zhitai does not teach the Four Books and Five Classics, but instead teaches how to learn. Is it true that the disciples of the academy will not be officials in the future?"

I knew you wanted to ask this, Zhang Zongxian said disdainfully:

"The Four Books and Five Classics? What's the use of learning that? Are you using the Four Books and Five Classics when you are a magistrate? Is it useful to organize the people to cultivate the Four Books and Five Classics? Do you also use the Four Books and Five Classics when dealing with Tartars?
It is because the Four Books and Five Classics have the principles of life and the strategy of governing the country, but people are constantly improving, and society is also improving. It is useless to study hard. What the sages said may not be applicable to the present.

Besides, the college does not prohibit students from reading the Four Books and Five Classics, it just doesn't teach them, let them read and judge by themselves.

The colleges teach practical things, and in the future they will make things that can be used by the senses.Doesn't the academy tell the students what books they must read?It will only teach them to look at everything in the world with dialectical thinking.

As for being an official in the future, in the Ming Dynasty in the future, the imperial examination will only test practical things, and the dross of stereotyped essays will be abolished. "

Prefect Sun was immediately overwhelmed by the governor's words.The imperial examinations were determined by the Taizu when the country was founded, and the current emperor dare not change it easily. You are only a governor now, and you are not the chief assistant, so you dare to say such things, and you say it so naturally.

Zhang Zongxian saw that Sun Zhifu was too shocked to speak, so he continued:
"Two years ago, I was just a seventh-rank county magistrate, but now I am a second-rank feudal official. One must dare to be the first in the world in one's life. Stereotyped selection of scholars will only imprison one's mind. Those who are taken are not scholars, but domestic slaves.

From the founding of the Ming Dynasty to the present, princes, county kings, and royal relatives have spread all over the world. According to the regulations, a prince must provide [-] dan of Lumi, [-] guan of banknotes, [-] bolts of brocade, and [-] pieces of silk a year. One hundred pieces of silk, five hundred pieces of silk, one thousand pieces of gauze, one thousand pieces of winter cloth, one thousand pieces of summer cloth, and other expenditures are too numerous. How much state money is consumed by the royal family members? These royal family members, eunuchs in the palace, and officials at all levels, who have annexed half of the world's farms, are not paid. The land that the common people can cultivate is less than half of the world. But you have to pay the world's taxes, which is well known to everyone, and everyone doesn't say anything.

Now the minister above the court is not familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, but have they spoken for the people?They have become slaves, they only think about their own official careers, and they only think about suffering the common people.

And my Legislative School is to break all this, to rule the country according to the law, to pay food for the officials and gentry, and to exempt corvee. "

Sun Zhifu's heart was surging, and he said bravely:

"Is the establishment of Taiwan trying to rebel?"

Zhang Zongxian sneered:
"It is said that the governor is the god of wealth, but what they don't know is that the governor is still a god of killing. The Beijing temple built on the heads of the Tartars outside the side wall is still standing there. If you want to rebel, the governor will not be the Ming Dynasty. The official, the governor is for the people of the world, not for his own selfish desires.

When other people uttered these words, Sun Zhifu would regard him as a lunatic. When these words were spoken from the person in front of him, Sun Zhifu felt a sense of enthusiasm, as if the society Zhang Zongxian described would definitely be realized in the future.

"Building a platform, the ambition! I admire it, and I am willing to work hard for the ambition of making a platform."

Zhang Zongxian wanted to believe you, you ghost, you know nothing about the legal system, but if a group wants to succeed, it must have a great goal. If the goal is achieved, everyone will work hard in this direction, and it will not delay the promotion and fortune, right?
"Sun Zhifu is already one of his own, and the governor will not go around. Before long, the position of governor of Yansui must be yours, and after you take office as governor, you must fully cooperate with the governor's plan.
You have to imitate everything that the governor has implemented in Jiazhou. You must measure the land as soon as possible and replace the title deed, so as to reduce the burden on the people.

When the governor reforms the three changes, he will definitely join the cabinet, and his support will naturally be indispensable at that time.In addition, Prefect Sun will be the guest of our Legislative Faction from now on, and the knowledge of the Legislative Faction will be open to Prefect Sun. "

Although Zhifu Sun couldn't figure out what this guest job was, it must be the same as the externally hired teacher, but it didn't prevent him from accepting it. After all, it meant that he had entered Zhang Zongxian's inner circle.

Thank you for supporting and supporting Taiwan. In the future, the lower officials will be the leaders of Taiwan.It's just that you are a guest of this school, but you want to teach in the college.

The establishment of Keqing in the school is also to provide a way for people like Sun Zhifu and Master Ma to join the legislative school, so that it will not affect Zhang Zongxian's control over the school, but also allow them to integrate into the school.

"Teaching is a matter for the future. Prefect Sun will go back and take a good look at the fundamental law of our sect. Only after we have mastered it can we teach the sect's disciples!"

After finishing speaking, he took out what had been prepared and handed it to the Sun Zhifu.

After subduing Sun Zhifu, Zhang Zongxian immediately wrote to Master Ma, asking him to contact Wei Zhongxian to help promote Sun Minyuan to governor of Yanshou.

When Governor Yanshou becomes his own person, many things will be more convenient. Unfortunately, the governors of Hedong and Hexi are not his own people, so he has to find a way to bring these two governors into trouble, so that he can fully control the three sides.
