Ming Dynasty fake eunuch

Chapter 653

No one is omnipotent, no matter how perfect a person is, he also has omissions.

In fact, when Ye Xun first proposed silver coins as the circulating coins of the Ming Dynasty, he considered continuing to issue coins with small denominations.

But Ye Xun was too busy. When the silver coins began to circulate here, his mind was already occupied by other things.

Qin Yong's proposal is just a small episode, which shows that there are indeed many officials in the court who are doing practical things, and it can also reflect Ye Xun's heart from this incident.

So after Qin Yong finished speaking, Ye Xun nodded and said: "You are the Secretary of the Household Department now, right? Very good, you go to the Finance Department to report to Mr. Li Daiwen, and say that I asked you to go, and then Organize what you said to me into a book, and give it to Mr. Li, I will not entertain you today, and I will definitely invite you to a banquet in the future, so I will treat you as an apology."

In fact, don't look at Qin Yong standing upright, but he is actually sweating in his heart. If Eunuch Ye is not as respectful and virtuous as the corporal in the legend, even if he ignores him today, he may not be as good as him later.

But judging from Ye Xun's current attitude, Eunuch Ye is a man with a broad mind. He can jump out of the position of Secretary of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and today is not in vain.

Thinking of this, he immediately bowed and said, "Grandpa Xie, I will take my leave!"

Ye Xun waved his hand, and then raised his voice to the officials who were still waiting in line on the side of the steps to be summoned: "My lords, it's not that Ye is hard to see, it's that Ye doesn't have much free time, but if you can be like Lord Qin, I really came here for government affairs, so please leave a note, I will definitely buy time to meet you, sorry."

After finishing speaking, he cupped his fists to everyone, then turned around and led Liu Zongzhou to walk inside.

It is true that Liu Zongzhou is a scholar, but after resigning from office twice, he devoted himself to studying knowledge while giving lectures to students. Although he dare not say how accurate he is in judging people, he can still tell from a person's words and deeds. What kind of person is Ye Xun?

So when Ye Xun invited him to go inside again, he was even more certain in his heart that this Eunuch Ye was indeed the person he wanted to find.

It was already afternoon, and the officials of various ministries would come to their home for a meeting in the evening, so Ye Xun didn't have long time to talk with Liu Zongzhou.

When he came to the hall where the guests and hosts were seated, and the servants offered tea, Liu Zongzhou finally couldn't help but said, "Eunuch Ye should know that the subordinates have been inseparable with Mr. Zhao Nanxing and other Donglin people. Why do you want to use the subordinates?"

Ye Xun smiled slightly, and asked back, "Mr. Niantai, do you think those people are the same as you?"

"Actually, even if Mr. Niantai doesn't say anything, I know that because of some accidents, I dealt with the Donglin people a little harder. I'm afraid Mr. Niantai is also very dissatisfied with this!"

"It cannot be said that the Donglin Party is all bad people. In fact, many of them are upright people, but why should I kill them all? It is because they have reached the point of insanity for their so-called righteous actions, for their own selfishness. , betraying the interests of the people of the country, this is no longer as simple as different political opinions.”

"But Mr. Niantai, you are different. The reason I respect you is because you can stick to your own heart no matter what time it is. Right is right and wrong is wrong. It has nothing to do with personal feelings or personal preferences."

It's fucking tiring to speak the truth!Ye Xun's throat was almost smoky after speaking the vernacular.

After hearing Ye Xun's words, Liu Zongzhou felt that it was hard to find a close friend. In his debut for so many years, apart from his students, no other high-ranking minister had ever spoken of him so highly. , How can it be as simple as an important official of the court?This is the real No.1 of the dynasty!

He sighed and said: "If you can get the father-in-law's words, I will have no regrets in this life. Don't hide it from the father-in-law. If you can't confirm who the father-in-law is today, then this Shuntian governor, I will not be an official."

Anyone who has no common sense in the officialdom knows that the official position of Shuntian Fu Yin is just like the mayor of the capital. Is a tall man.

Liu Zongzhou is a scholar, it's really hard to say whether he can play with the officialdom.

But it doesn't matter, because Ye Xun is also the one who recognizes the law and disregards others. As long as Liu Zongzhou is upright and strict, even if something goes wrong, Ye Xun will also take care of him.

"To tell you the truth, Mr. Niantai, after the Chinese New Year, I plan to build a university with all kinds of subjects. I don't know if Mr. Niantai is willing to serve as a professor in the school."

After chatting for a long time, Ye Xun finally got to the topic. This old man had been giving lectures in his hometown before he came to the capital. Presumably becoming an official is just a way for him to realize his ambition, and his real mind is still on learning.

Sure enough, upon hearing what Ye Xun said, Liu Zongzhou immediately regained his spirits, and said happily, "It's really a great thing for my father-in-law to have such a heart. I want to thank my father-in-law on behalf of thousands of students."

Saying that, Liu Zongzhou really stood up and bowed to Ye Xun.

Ye Xun hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Mr. Niantai is serious. The conditions and education level of different places are different, so I have been thinking that if we only use pure knowledge to select talents, those who come from poor families will not be able to afford it." The children of the book are too unfair, so the court should be more extensive in cultivating talents, and give more opportunities for the children of poor families to serve the country."

Liu Zongzhou is not a pedantic person, otherwise he would not be abandoned by the Donglin Party members, but Ye Xun's thinking is too advanced, and he is a little confused.

Then he wondered: "The lower officials don't quite understand what Eunuch means. Could it be that Eunuch wants to reform the imperial examination system?"

Ye Xun smiled and said: "Since the founding of the country, the content of the imperial examinations has not changed. Take that Lord Qin just now as an example. Mr. Niantai thinks that he can understand those financial aspects only by doing well in stereotyped essays." Is it something? I'm afraid I can't!"

"There are many highly professional positions in various ministries, and the chief officials are almost half-way monks. This is obviously not conducive to the healthy development of the court, and it also affects the efficiency of work. What if these positions are all filled by professional officials? I am afraid that the situation will not be good. It's the same!"

After Ye Xun's explanation, Liu Zongzhou somewhat understood, but Eunuch Ye's idea was too grand!And how many students have studied hard for ten years, and all they have learned is knowledge related to stereotyped essays. Now that they say so, they will change it. What do you make those students think?
Obviously seeing the hesitation in Liu Zongzhou's heart, Ye Xun suddenly stood up and bowed deeply to Liu Zongzhou.

"Mr. Niantai is not a pedantic person, that's why I'm telling you so much. You should know that only when a country keeps innovating, learning from the old and absorbing the new, can it make progress, and it will always stand among the world's powerful countries. It will be like in the last years of Wanli, a small Jurchen can make me helpless, so please help me, sir, to carry out this great change that has never been seen in ancient times."

When Ye Xun boldly said the words of the last year of Wanli, Liu Zongzhou was already deeply shocked
