Early Ming Dynasty: Turning Clouds and Rains into New Learning Saints

Chapter 78 Disposal (seventh update)

However, after they visited the cement road and cement house, they naturally wanted to find out who Zhang Yifan was who became famous yesterday.As a result, after going back and forth, they found out that it was Zhang Yifan who was reading and reading, and he was able to read the "Thousand-Character Classic" used for enlightening school children. This caused a sensation.

Many people already know that this Zhang Yifan presented the cement national treasure to the court, thus winning the qualification to participate in the competition and have the opportunity to marry the princess of the Ming Dynasty.

Logically speaking, if you spend money like this, you must be talented, and you are at least confident that you can win the top prize, right?
The result was good, he turned out to be illiterate and had to start learning from "The Thousand Character Classic"!Is it true that you set a goal first and then started to hit the No. [-] pick position?

This... is simply unimaginable, extremely unimaginable!

Does it mean how confident he is, or how stupid he is?

Under such confusion, Zhang Yifan's matter became a hotter topic than cement.When these people returned from visiting Liujia Village, they also reported this matter back to Nanjing.Among them, Li Shanchang's nephew Ding Bin also went back to report the good news.

If Zhang Yifan became famous in the court yesterday, then starting from today, he also began to become famous among the people, and this fame spread far faster than ordinary officials.

Some people praise him, that is to say that where there is a will, there is a way!

Those who laughed at him naturally meant that there was a big fool in Liujia Village!
The one who was still envious of the eldest princess said how great it would be if she had someone who admired her so much!
Those who are angry with him are shouting that he despises the world’s scholars so much that he is really going to be angry to death!

In short, Zhang Yifan became famous!

Of course, he knew nothing about this.Because he really has to read and write seriously.

After Zheng Jingxue's reading, Zhang Yifan looked at these traditional Chinese characters and read them.

After reading it three times, Zheng Jingxue said to Zhang Yifan: "Read it yourself first. Just circle which words you know and which words you don't know, and I will focus on teaching you the words you don't know!"

After saying that, he wanted to go downstairs to find some water.

Although his family is poor, Zhang Yifan's family is even poorer than his family. The only real family member is himself.What else can I do?I can only do it myself.

"I know them all!"

"What?" Zheng Jingxue was a little surprised when he heard it. He turned back and looked at him to confirm: "You just said you knew them all?"

"Well, we all know each other!" Zhang Yifan nodded and replied when he saw it.

After hearing this, Zheng Jingxue couldn't help but curl his lips slightly with a hint of ridicule.

Because he knows that there is an illusion in reading: if you recite it with your teacher, you will feel that you are good at it, but once you really have to recite it by yourself, those who have a better memory will get stuck after reciting a few sentences; as for those who have a bad memory, they may get stuck at the beginning. will get stuck.

Because he himself has experience in this matter.Even his father, who was an official, once talked about this phenomenon.Anyone who studies can encounter it.

Therefore, Zheng Jingxue turned around and walked over, stood in front of Zhang Yifan again, gestured with his chin and said, "Read and listen!"

After hearing this, Zhang Yifan looked at the book and started reading: "The sky and the earth are dark and yellow..."

Zheng Jingxue listened and couldn't help but nodded slightly. It's okay. He didn't get stuck at the beginning. He read everything correctly... Well, he has read this far. Not bad... Hey, he can actually read this far. This is a good memory...

While listening, I was commenting in my mind. Suddenly, Zhang Yifan's voice disappeared. Immediately, Zheng Jingxue was happy. He finally got stuck. Yes, it took so long to get stuck after reading, which is rare!
Just when he thought of this, he suddenly came back to his senses and immediately confirmed in shock: "Have you finished reading them all?"

"Is it possible?" Zhang Yifan was a little surprised after hearing this. Do you still need to ask if you have finished reading?

In fact, Zheng Jingxue already knew that he had finished reading. He was shocked that after Zhang Yifan read "The Thousand Character Essay" three times, he was able to read it all by himself!
Yes, there are legendary prodigies with photographic memories, and it is said that there have been many since ancient times.However, he has never seen it.His father, who was an official, was said to be.But he himself knows that it is not a photographic memory at all, but it is just conveyed to the outside world.

But now, the person in front of him was someone he had witnessed with his own eyes, and he was not far away from having a photographic memory.

Thinking of this, he suddenly became excited.If you can teach a student who has a photographic memory, even if he has an informal teacher-student relationship, you can definitely be proud of it.Not only will there be a heavy reward for teaching King Yan well, but after returning to the Imperial College, he can also go to the same year to show off.

Thinking like this, Zheng Jingxue forgot about drinking water and immediately said to Zhang Yifan: "Okay, let's continue."

Then, he began to explain the meaning of "The Thousand Character Essay". Unexpectedly, Zhang Yifan accepted it faster.

Zheng Jingxue was so excited that he immediately changed to the next class.

Then, the sound of reading the "Three Character Classic" began to sound again.

……

The sound of reading "Hundred Family Surnames" started again.On just the first day, Zhang Yifan was able to read "The Thousand-Character Classic", "The Three-Character Classic", and "Hundred Family Surnames" independently, and he also clearly understood what they meant.

Genius, genius!Zheng Jingxue was so excited that he wished to report to King Yan immediately.

At this time, the person Zhu Di sent to deliver the news arrived.

After the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Works fought over the matter of cement, Emperor Hongwu finally assigned it to the Ministry of Works, which was responsible for national official roads and water conservancy projects.Similar to the salt and iron monopoly, it can only be owned by the imperial court and can be sold to the private sector after giving priority to the imperial court.Several vassal princes and the six great dukes including the Duke of Korea were the first to receive ten packs of cement from the royal family.

As for the cement workshop in Liujia Village, Emperor Hongwu decided that it would be owned by the Liujia Village commune.However, it can only be of this large scale, cannot be expanded, and can be sold freely.

There are also results for the eldest princess' Bizet marriage plan.

Emperor Hongwu decreed that anyone in the world who wanted to be a son-in-law should apply to the Ministry of Rites for one month.

Subsequently, the Ministry of Rites conducted a preliminary screening, and the final number was set at 100 people.Then the East Palace sent people to screen and select the final ten, and then conducted a palace examination. Emperor Hongwu personally asked questions and named the consort.The other nine people can be transferred directly to the Imperial College as supervisors.As for what the emperor asked, no one knew.

The prince Li Qi of South Korea and Zhang Yifan of Liujiacun have been personally designated by Emperor Hongwu to be two of the ten candidates for the final palace examination.In other words, eight other people will be selected to compete for the Prince Consort.

This process is actually the process of recruiting concubines in the history of the Ming Dynasty. The difference is that it is not the East Palace who comes forward for the second screening, but the Si Li Jian who comes forward for the second screening.And it ended up being not ten people, but three people.

Zhang Yifan naturally has no objection to this. He has one month to prepare, so he should be more confident.

In addition, Zhu Di also brought him news that the manager of the Li family, who had followed Li You to the cement workshop, was hanged to the door of the house and beaten by the Li family. It was said that he would be hanged for three days.

Although it is said that it is not the Korean palace, but just the palace of Taipu Temple.However, no matter what, the Li family did lose a big face.Zhu Di said that the Korean public was very narrow-minded and asked Zhang Yifan to be careful to guard against retaliation.

Zheng Jingxue will always stay at Zhang Yifan's house and seize the time to help Zhang Yifan with his homework.However, no matter what the results were every day, he still had to write a letter and then give it to a guard to take back to Prince Yan's Mansion.

Sister-in-law Tian also brought over a bowl of food, including a bowl of chicken, pork, green vegetables, and radish, and a pot of fish soup.

Zhang Yifan, Zheng Jingxue, Zhu Wu and other guards, a total of four people, were not very particular and ate together.

Chinese people, according to tradition, Zhang Yifan, as the host, said casually: "There is nothing delicious in the countryside. You guys eat first. What does it taste like? Tell me later, I can cook it for you!"

The two guards were fine after hearing this. Four dishes and one soup like this could be eaten several times a month in Prince Yan's Mansion.However, for Zheng Jingxue, his mouth watered just looking at it.

Although he has a father who is a high-ranking official and an uncle who is a minor-ranking official, the problem is that the five brothers live in poverty and the family is extremely poor. How can they still have chicken, duck, fish and meat to eat?

At this time, Zhang Yifan greeted him to start eating, and Zheng Jingxue immediately took a piece of fat meat, which was not served with rice, and stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it. Suddenly, the greasy feeling filled his mouth: delicious, really delicious!

Zheng Jingxue showed a happy face while eating!
Zhang Yifan was a little surprised when he saw it, because he knew that only those who don't eat meat like to eat fat; those who don't eat often will eat half fat and half thin; only those who eat often will only eat lean meat.

So, while eating, he asked: "Sir, where do you live from? What do you do at home?"

Although they had only been in contact for a day, Zhang Yifan had a good impression of Zheng Jingxue.Not only because of the teacher, but also because the other party is also a young man and does not have the imaginary Taoist rules.Therefore, Zhang Yifan wondered if he could help this gentleman.

After Zheng Jingxue heard this, he realized that there was something wrong with his eating habits.After taking a mouthful of rice and being silent for a while, he replied: "I am from Ninghai, Zhejiang Province. My father is an official outside. The five brothers in the family are not good at farm work. I am ashamed!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yifan was surprised at first: As an official, your family has no money?Still want to do farm work?
But soon, he came to his senses, this was the Hongwu Dynasty!

The salary set by Emperor Hongwu would definitely be enough if it was used by just one official.But the problem is, those salaries cannot be used by just one person.For example, in this gentleman's family, it can be seen that the whole family is probably counting on his father's salary.

With a father who is an official, these brothers must also want to study. It is reasonable to think that they are not good at farm work.But the problem is that in this Hongwu Dynasty, it is a bit tragic.

Thinking like this, Zhang Yifan said nothing, just thinking about how to help this gentleman later.

He didn't know that according to historical records, Zheng Jingxue's mother was seriously ill and had no money for medical treatment. After his mother died, he had no money to bury her. In the end, the five brothers begged his father and said that they would sell themselves to bury their mother.

Emperor Hongwu must bear some responsibility for this kind of thing happening.This is one of the reasons why corrupt officials have killed so many people but cannot kill them all.

Zhang Yifan was still thinking about it, but Zheng Jingxue misunderstood and said to him: "Don't worry, your talent in reading is very good. I will definitely teach you seriously. In a month, if not other things, you will at least be able to read and write." question!"

Zhang Yifan smiled immediately after hearing this, but without explaining, he turned back to Zhu Wu and said, "Fifth brother, I..."

"Hey, don't call me that!" When Zhu Wu heard this, he immediately panicked and said quickly, "You call His Highness the Fourth Brother. If you want me to die, you call me the Fifth Brother? Just call me the Fifth Brother."
