Back to Ancient Times to Make Pen Pals - Chapter 139
Xie Zheng is too arrogant to do anything flattering.
But he is smart.
He knew what to do that Emperor Chengjia liked; what kind of things were beneficial to the people.
Baiguan’s opinion is not very important.
Based on the fact that Emperor Chengjia was still in his prime, he did not even need and could not please hundreds of officials.
At this time, if he has the support of hundreds of officials, the first one to not forgive him is Emperor Chengjia.
He could see this more clearly than anyone.
After all, unless we usurp the throne, otherwise, he wants to sit in that position and only needs to please one person-Emperor Chengjia.
And what does Cheng Jiadi value?
Dayan.
As an emperor, Emperor Chengjia valued Dayan’s national destiny and people’s minds.
Xie Zheng grasped this point, went south to repair levees, rectify taxation, reverse the salt case, and deal with the accumulated abuses of the military department…
All kinds of things, which one is not offending officials?
He has offended almost half of the civil servants of the imperial court after the case of sharing acres and taxation and salt.
The power of the court is complicated. Who doesn’t have an unsatisfactory relative or younger generation. It is normal for Xie Zheng to hate Xie Zheng, and how many families have been pulled down. The intricate court relations have been messed up by Xie Zheng.
Correspondingly, Emperor Chengjia really had a little more intimacy and tolerance to him that he hadn’t had in his previous life, but he almost responded to everything that was not too outrageous.
However, the establishment of Liao Zhai, the price reduction of books and papers, and the emergence of “Dayan Monthly” made Xie Zheng’s reputation among the literati suddenly rise.
As early as Zhu Yuan mentioned this to him, he had expected some impact, but he never expected such a huge effect:
The publication of “Dayan Monthly”, especially the opening of the imperial examination column, allowed more candidates to receive imperial examination information.
The price reduction of books and paper and the improvement of printing technology have allowed many ordinary students to see more good books and get better practice.
In this year alone, there were a lot of enlightenment private schools in the capital, and all kinds of scholars who lost the income of copying books because of the drop in book prices went to become teachers.
All sorts of measures made the civil officials of the imperial court, especially those who were of civilian origin and passed the imperial examination, changed their original neutral and wait-and-see attitude, and they were full of praise for Xie Zheng.
Xie Zheng had a lot of things in his hands and seldom walked with other officials. In addition, he was upset by Zhu Yuan’s affairs during that period. He didn’t notice it at first, but when he remembered that Emperor Chengjia hadn’t summoned him for a long time. , He was shocked.
Ordinary officials are noble and powerful. As the prince, how can he be better than Emperor Chengjia?
It just so happened that the preparations for the joint planning with Qin You were about the same, and the dust settled with Zhu Yuan’s marriage, he simply proposed to Emperor Chengjia to go to the county to experience-leave the capital to avoid the limelight.
Well, before leaving, throw out a barracks to sit and eat free money, and turn the attention of the court officials and Emperor Chengjia to the other side, and then he patted his **** and left.
Moreover, he can let go of his hands and feet only if he is far away from the capital.
So, after all, he was not as compassionate as Zhu Yuan imagined.
He went to the county seat, saying that it was for learning, but in fact, it was just a choice based on weighing the pros and cons.
If there are other gains, naturally it is the best.
Now, in this remote Channing County, there are silver mines hidden?
This is simply…
God helps him too!
Xie Zheng immediately asked Anfuga to investigate it, and it must be clear.
***
After Zhu Yuan and Xie Zheng had finished speaking, he turned around and went to An Qing really, and said to him in a pretentious manner: “I have been to Zhaochun Palace a few times, and I found that someone seems to have a problem. It happened that the dog, His Highness, gave me I wrote a letter saying that there is still a female wife in Zhaochun Palace, and you can check this person back.”
In the past year, Zhu Yuan has “received” Xie Zheng’s several letters. An Qing thought that his master had great magical powers and that there were other forces in Beijing besides the one he was holding.
So he didn’t have any doubts, and only asked carefully: “Dare to ask the girl, who is this person?”
“Yuping,” Zhu Yuan vowed, “It’s one of the great palace ladies next to the empress, Yuping, check it out, this person must have a problem.”
It’s been several times, and every time this maid came out to be a good person, she said all the good things, looking at Ke Green Tea.
An Qing hesitated and agreed. The master ordered, and they just do the work. Although Yuping has been checked, but how about it? Anyway, they haven’t found it out now, just pick it up again.
After talking about the business, Zhu Yuan began to gossip: “Your Majesty and the empress go out of the palace to visit the Liao Zhai and the leisure store, what does the supervisor have to say?”
An Qing scratched his head: “It seems that no supervisor has said anything about it, so the servant will go and ask.”
Zhu Yuan was surprised: “Are you all so calm? What about the other empresses?” Concubine Shu is just a concubine, not a queen. When traveling with the emperor, aren’t other concubines jealous?
“Of course there are gossips, but everyone has been staring at the reform of the Ministry of War these days, and it is estimated that they will not care about it.”
“Reform of the Ministry of War?” Zhu Yuan, who was living in a boudoir, was shocked, “What has been changed?”
An Qing was also surprised: “The DPRK and China have been discussing this matter for the past two months, doesn’t the girl actually know?”
Zhu Yuan: …what should she know?
Recently, she has been busy with the leisure shop and the budding school. She even threw out the Magnolia makeup, Bright Studio, and “Shining”, so she can take care of other things.
Not to mention this kind of court affairs.
An Qing consciously failed to speak, and hurriedly slapped her mouth, and then carefully told her about the most concerned thing in the court in the past two months-the rectification of the Ministry of War.
To be precise, it is the rectification of the barracks.
This matter started with Xie Zheng being thrown into the Fengtu Camp in the suburbs of Beijing two years ago.
Xie Zheng went in and followed a group of recruits, and when they entered, the recruits began to practice. Because of his strong personality, he practiced half-heartedly, coupled with literacy, he was quickly promoted to become a team leader.
Then he discovered that his team was not fully staffed.
He naturally wanted to go to the boss to ask, but the boss was impatient and threw the sentence “This is the rule, let those names take up the quota”, and then sent him away.
Xie Zheng was suspicious, so he kept his mind.
Then I found out that every team has such ghost soldiers who occupy the spot but never see any figure.
Xie Zheng had been working at the court in his previous life. Even though his second uncle was a military commander, he was treated by Concubine Shu in his previous life… He didn’t have much contact with the Qin family, and his second uncle had been sent abroad. .
Therefore, he never knew that there were such rules in the barracks.
These ghost soldiers all received the royal army’s salary, no one, it is self-evident that the army’s salary ended up in his pocket.
A team of thirty people would have three to five ghost soldiers. In a brigade of one hundred people, there are actually ten to fifteen soldiers missing.
What if it is a thousand people?
This was still at the feet of the emperor, and was the guard camp of Emperor Chengjia.
Where else? What will happen to state capital garrisons and border barracks?
The more Xie Zheng thought about it, the more frightened.
At that time, he revised the book to Qin You of Luzhou and asked him about this situation, but it was normal.
Qin replied: yes, and even worse.
Then the two came and went to discuss, and finally they secretly fell in the name of Qin You.
When Emperor Chengjia saw Zhezi, he naturally wanted to investigate.
Then it started drastically two months ago.
…
An Qing didn’t know exactly how to change it. Zhu Yuan wasn’t interested in these, so he simply knew a little bit and let him go to work.
The next step is to wait for news.
Concubine Shu seemed to be really unwell. Since she got angry the day she tried to send someone to intervene in the business, she hasn’t moved.
Zhu Yuan waited horribly for several days, but didn’t wait for the person sent by Concubine Shu to simply leave it alone and start to work on her “Sprout School” that opened a school.
After all, in this world, she is the only one who has attended nine years of compulsory education, three years of high school, and four years of university. With 16 full years of experience in education, it may not be enough to teach others by yourself, but it is still possible to point fingers at the female masters who have been invited back.
Combining ancient and modern conditions, she formulated five basic courses, three advanced courses, and three ultimate courses for Germination Academy.
Basic courses include literature, arithmetic, calligraphy, etiquette, and physical education.
Advanced courses include history, people’s livelihood encyclopedia, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.
The ultimate courses are female red, economics, and management.
The school system of Germination Academy was directly assigned by her for five years. Entering school between the ages of six and eight, you can get a certificate of completion after five years.
If there are those who are not well-off, you can also drop out of school early, but there is no graduation certificate.
Of course, these are just plans. For example, in the four categories of history, people’s livelihood, economics, and management, she has yet to find a suitable candidate. She might have to train herself.
Fortunately, only basic courses were needed in the first year. She advertised among the masses and asked Zhang Jingshu, Mrs. Shan Chang from Mingde College, Mrs. Qin, etc. for help. She really found a few suitable candidates.
They are all young daughter-in-laws, the youngest is 21, and the oldest is only 28.
There are classics handed down thousands of characters, tone and enlightenment in literature, and calligraphy is the same, but she does not need to worry about it.
The grandmother in the palace that Concubine Shu pushed over has personally trained these female gentlemen for a month, and there is no need to worry.
Sports are relatively simple. As early as a few months ago, she asked the craftsmen to make slides, climbing walls, balance beams…and a small basketball court, imitating modern facilities. Then I demonstrated various sports to the ladies and left them to ponder.
At the same time, the enrolled children will also be given two sets of school uniforms. The first thing students do when they enter the school gate is to go to the locker room to change into their school uniforms-of course, Budding Academy’s school uniforms are also modeled after modern sportswear, light and simple.
For the last arithmetic, Zhu Yuan intends to teach abacus for the time being. Women in these years have to take care of the accounts. Abacus is a big city, and it is enough to find the most proficient at an hour the next day.
However, she plans to organize another mathematics textbook by herself, whether it is to manage accounts, open a store or study economics in the future, it will be useful.
The problem is that Arabic numerals have not yet appeared in this world, can she use them?
She was biting her pen on the math texts, and she saw the familiar ink words quickly emerge–
[OO, immediately ask someone to send a sum of money to Wuzhou, buy things according to the order I gave you and send it over]
The ink characters, which have always been vigorous, have brought some rare scribbles today.
Zhu Yuan was taken aback, and hurriedly asked: [What happened? 】
Although Xie Zheng has searched all the money in the shop and left, he has never asked for money since he left. Why did he suddenly ask for money today?
The last time I asked for something, it was because I didn’t accept it.
Xie Zheng was silent for a moment, and said: [Zanning ground movement]
Earth movement?
earthquake? !
After reacting, Zhu Yuan took a breath.
