People live in the Ming Dynasty, evil spirits are soaring into the sky

Chapter 373 Zhang Juzheng’s attitude made the civil officials hate him to the core!

Chen Han really cares about them in every aspect.

From their physical and mental health.

They created such luxurious back gardens, canteens and dormitories, and came up with such a patent law that respects their benefits.

He even thoughtfully solved their worries of not being able to earn money for the family by giving them a subsidy of two taels of silver every month, so that they would not have such worries and their families could even live better.

Many people want to cry when they think of this.

They had never met a good person like Chen Han.

They originally thought that coming to this place was just a game.

Many people even joked on the way here that this might be a game played by powerful people, and that you guys are just pawns in the game.

At that time, many people left angrily after hearing such words, and some even cursed that people like Chen Han would not die a good death.

But now these people finally understood that they almost believed this nonsense at the time, and how unfair it was to Chen Han.

Especially when they saw how thoughtfully Chen Han considered their physical and mental health, they felt that it was a sin even if they had ever doubted Chen Han.

They know how difficult it is for a person to meet someone like Chen Han in his or her lifetime.

It is a great honor for us to meet him.

There were even many craftsmen in their forties who did not cry when their parents passed away, but cried when they saw these fitness equipment.

In fact, they had been suppressing their emotions all along.

But when they got here and saw so many fitness equipment, they finally couldn't help it.

woo woo woo...

Many craftsmen shed tears.

Many people even squatted on the ground and cried.

"I never thought someone could be so nice to me."

"My parents never thought about me like this."

"I have lived for more than 40 years and never thought that the person who would be the best for me would be a young man in his twenties."

"I swear here that if anyone says that our Duke is not a good person, I will fight them to the death!"

"Yes, from now on, if I hear anyone say bad things about our Duke, I will fight them to the death."

"I have never received such respect in my life. In order to live up to this respect, I will do my best to learn the craft and serve the Duke."

Seeing how loyal this group of craftsmen were at this moment, the civil servants present knew that Chen Han’s supporters had already taken shape.

Chen Han used his utmost sincerity to create a situation for the craftsmen that they could not even imagine in their dreams.

Even in this case, they felt what respect is.
I guess this alone has surpassed countless monetary rewards.

These educated people sometimes really ignore the dignity of these grassroots people, always thinking that these people do not need respect at all, and they will work for you as long as you give them a little money.

Little do people know that the lower their status, the stronger their self-esteem.

On the contrary, people who have reached a certain level feel that so-called dignity is ridiculous and that everything can be solved with money and power.

As a former low-level person, Chen Han could understand very well why these craftsmen were once looked down upon. But now that Chen Han has gained enough respect from them, they will definitely support him very much.

He did it.

Even though he is not in Ming Dynasty now, the fact that he is respected has fully proved his vision.

After seeing the performance of the craftsmen, Sophia sincerely admired Chen Han.

I even muttered in my heart: That man really has an irresistible charm.

After visiting the Imperial University of Peking, Emperor Wanli was very satisfied. Of course, the civil servants were left with only envy and jealousy.

For them, this place is both a paradise and a spiritual hell.

Because they know that every day from now on, whenever they pass by here, they will think that those people studying here are the craftsmen they once looked down upon. How ironic it is.

Especially when they already knew that the environment inside was countless times more luxurious than what was shown by the archway outside, they couldn't accept it in their hearts.

As a result, some civil servants became more eager to surrender to Chen Han.

Even though Chen Han is not in Ming Dynasty now, they found that the women Chen Han left in Ming Dynasty seemed to be not simple either.

Like this Sophia.

Although she is a foreign woman, her understanding of Central Plains culture is no less than theirs.

Even in some places, she can see more from an outsider's perspective.

Such a smart woman makes people admire Chen Han even more.

This young man actually has such a unique side in the process of winning over capable people.

Of course, it must be hard for them to imagine that Sophia and Chen Han's meeting almost ended in a quarrel because of the relationship between men and women.

What was even more difficult for them to imagine was that Chen Han did not feel sorry at all for not forcing himself on her at that time, but Sophia felt it was very regretful during this period.

Zhang Juzheng was always in the crowd. Although he didn't say a word, he always had a gratified smile on his face when he saw the Imperial University in front of him.

The several cabinet ministers who followed him did not say anything when the civil servants refuted the Imperial University of Peking, saying that it was too luxurious.

It's not that they are not good at speaking, but they know that although the current Emperor Wanli is young, he has big ideas. There are many things that he does not need to be reminded by cabinet ministers. In fact, he can control many things by himself.

Xu Wei always stood by Zhang Juzheng.

After seeing the scene in front of him, he finally said, "Sir, it seems that you were right to keep silent."

Zhang Juzheng smiled and said, "We shouldn't treat your Majesty as a child. He is not a child."

Xu Wei nodded.

He knew that the reason why Zhang Juzheng remained silent was because he now believed that the Emperor was someone who was fully capable of handling any matter independently, and if he spoke too much, the Emperor would hate him.

But what he didn't know was that Emperor Wanli had actually been observing Zhang Juzheng.

She wanted to see what suggestions Zhang Juzheng could come up with.

But what I didn't expect was that Zhang Juzheng was still shocked by the current state of Imperial University, and didn't show any strong desire to change things here or there.

In history, Zhang Juzheng was no different from a dictator, but now Zhang Juzheng finally began to be convinced by Emperor Wanli.

This made Emperor Wanli very satisfied.

Even more satisfying than conquering all the courtiers.

After all, who is Zhang Juzheng?

He was a man who had the final say during the reign of Emperor Wanli.

He is more emperor than the emperor.

But now he couldn't find any fault with what he did, which made Emperor Wanli very satisfied.

So he stepped forward and asked: "Mr. Zhang, what do you think about the construction of Imperial University?"

All the court officials looked at Zhang Juzheng.

Until now, many people have almost forgotten the existence of this prime minister.

They felt that this was very abnormal. Or rather, they felt that Zhang Juzheng had almost become invisible in the past six months.

Originally he was the Prime Minister of the Cabinet and he should have been in charge of everything, but the strange thing was that according to the current division of labor, he actually became the deputy of Chen Han, the Grand Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

Perhaps Chen Han did have some outstanding military achievements, but his title was not comparable to Zhang Juzheng's.

But Zhang Juzheng was the head of the civil servants after all.

It was obvious that Chen Han wanted to use this group of craftsmen to replace the civil servants. This was something that everyone could see. They believed that Zhang Juzheng could also see it, but why didn't Zhang Juzheng say anything?

This endangers the interests of all scholars.

Aren’t you, Zhang Juzheng, a scholar?

You also have a son. Don’t you want your son to have a better development in the future under your protection?

We are working so hard for it, and your son will also benefit from it. Why don't you, the prime minister of the cabinet, say a word? What are you thinking?

Only now did they realize that there was something wrong with Zhang Juzheng's position.

Even if Chen Han gave you, Zhang Juzheng, a very high salary, you couldn't do such a thing to betray the scholars, right?

You are completely forgetful of your roots.

So many people began to direct their criticism at Zhang Juzheng, who remained silent on the matter.

In response to the question from Emperor Wanli, Zhang Juzheng replied: "Your Majesty, I think the construction of the Imperial University will definitely promote the new development of our Ming Dynasty. Your Excellency's move will benefit the present and future generations."

Ok?
All the civil servants looked down upon him even more after hearing his words.

I thought he was doing this to curry favor with the Emperor.

Because His Majesty the Emperor is obviously on Chen Han's side, he has to make his position clear.

snort!
"Pooh!"

"You bitch!"

"shameless!"

"It's really a disgrace to me as a scholar!"

"It is a misfortune for the Ming Dynasty to have such a person as the Prime Minister of the Cabinet."

"No, I want to impeach him!"

"Yes, impeach him!"

The positions of many civil servants suddenly became clear.

Of course they said this, but there was still an idea lingering in their minds: I had to quickly prepare a gift and go to Chen Han's mansion.

Even if Chen Han is not here now, if he leaves a good impression in front of his women, maybe these women will be able to live a better life in the future by whispering in Chen Han's pillow.

Emperor Wanli did not think that Zhang Juzheng's answer was flattery.

Although Zhang Juzheng's life was a bit extravagant in history, he was definitely a person who made great contributions to the court. Such a person would not be as superficial as ordinary scholars. He must have seen the benefits that the Imperial University of Peking could bring to the Ming Dynasty.

The benefits are of course obvious, this is the catfish effect.

The purpose is to let everyone in the world know that besides studying the Four Books and Five Classics, there are many other ways.

In this way, people in the world will not focus on studying.

Of course, Chen Han still understands very well that reading books of sages is still useful. Reading must be useful. Reading can enlighten people and make them broad-minded. This is as it should be. However, he will have to wait and see how to make a detailed plan later.

Now we cannot move forward on both legs, we can only focus on developing the world's arts.

……

Chen Han's mansion.

When Sophia told Guo Feixue and other girls what happened today like a storyteller.

After listening to this, Guo Feixue and the others' eyes were filled with envy.

"Sophia, you are so enviable. You obviously came later than the rest of us, but why are you the only one who is so valued by the Duke?"

"Yes, we came much earlier than you, and you haven't become the Duke's woman yet, but we have been the Duke's women for a long time."

As they spoke, everyone showed an expression of dissatisfaction.

This is natural.

All of them are beautiful women, and their looks are no less than Sophia. But now Sophia is not only valued by her own master, but even the Emperor values her very much. How can people be convinced?

Sophia chuckled: "This is the value I told you about."

"Your value is to become the Duke's woman, to eat, drink, and play with him, but my value is to help him build the Imperial University and manage it for him. Because I am a university graduate myself, I have a natural advantage over all of you.

As for An Youniang, she is a skilled martial artist, so she can naturally serve as the Duke's female bodyguard and follow him around at any time. Of course, there is another woman that you haven't noticed, but I think even if she is not in the mansion, she will be more useful than you."

As for who this person was, before Sophia could finish her words, she heard a servant coming hurriedly to report, "Miss Feixue, a few officials came outside and said they wanted to pay their respects."

After hearing the servant's words, Guo Feixue's face suddenly changed from one full of envy to one that of a hostess.

"Come on, take me to see it!" She strode to the front yard with her servants.

After Guo Feixue left, Sophia said, "You can see the value of Feixue without her. You came earlier than her, but why did the Duke give Feixue the power to manage the household affairs?"

Xiaolan and the others were even more confused now.

Sophia explained: "You have been living in the palace all your life, entering at the age of seven or eight, and leaving at the age of sixteen or seventeen. You have not been exposed to the outside world for eight or nine years. How do you know how to handle external affairs?
On the contrary, Fei Xue has experienced many ups and downs in the martial arts world. Apart from other things, when it comes to saying different things to different people, you are definitely not as good as her.

Besides, she has the Jiangnan branch of the White Lotus Sect behind her. The master must consider the feelings of the White Lotus Sect, so Feixue must be given a position.

Do you understand now?"

Xiaolan and the others now understood that everyone has their own value and that is why they can be reused.

Even at home.

But there must still be a clear division of labor.

……

forecourt.

Guo Feixue stood at the gate, looking at the officials outside, frowned, and sneered in her heart.

It's really funny. These people have slandered their own men both in the government and in the opposition.

What now?
One by one they came over carrying gifts.

Xiaolan and the others had once described such a scene to her.

It is said that these officials had once come to power in such a scene.

But I didn't expect that I would have to face it again today.
