The Rise of the Writers of the Republic of China - Chapter 1030

April.

   Zhou Hexuan is still reading history and writing books at home, and there is no news about him from the outside world, and there are even rumors that he is secretly imprisoned.

   Early in the morning, Lin Sen walked into the Zhou Mansion leisurely, leaning on a bamboo stick and carrying a kettle.

   This supreme leader of the Republic of China is a frequent visitor to the Zhou family. He often comes here to listen to Abingla’s music, drink the good tea brewed by Cui Huifu, and play with the antiques collected by Zhou Hexuan. Recently, he became obsessed with “The Fifteen Years of Wanli”, and he came here on average once a week to read Zhou Hexuan’s manuscripts before leaving.

   “Chairman Lin, please drink tea!” Cui Huifu brought the tea cup and said.

  Lin Sen smiled and nodded: “Thank you.”

   Zhou Hexuan returned to the living room after playing health Taijiquan, and joked with a smile: “President Lin, are you coming to my house to eat meat again?”

  Lin Sen said: “I believe in Buddhism and eat a lot of vegetarian food, so I won’t make you Mr. Zhou Da poor.”

  The two have gotten to know each other very well, and without having to care about etiquette, Zhou Hexuan sat down on the sofa drinking tea and chatting with Lin Sen about various news and interesting things.

   Lin Sen is in a better mood this year. Although he often has no money to buy meat, he believes that the victory of the Anti-Japanese War is in sight. In particular, the defeat of the German army in the Battle of Stalingrad dealt a heavy blow to the fascist forces, and the US military completely occupied Guadalcanal Island, and the Japanese aggression in the Pacific Ocean was greatly reduced.

   The current situation is extremely unfavorable for Japan, and the Japanese themselves know it.

   Even after discovering that Tang Shengming was a fake traitor, the Japanese invaders not only did not kill him, but instead protected him and responded to Tang Shengming’s requests. It is nothing more than feeling that they cannot completely occupy China. The Japanese invaders need to win over Chang Kaishen, and Tang Shengming can serve as an intermediary contact.

   Tang Shengming is Tang Shengzhi’s younger brother. Three years ago, Lao Jiang sent him to the Wang puppet government as a traitor. In order to perform the trick, Tang Shengzhi also deliberately broke off ties with his younger brother in a newspaper, and said that there were traitors in the family and it was shameful to see his ancestors.

   Tang Shengming is a fun person, he has no ability, and he especially likes luxury. However, he was very close to the Communist Party, and when old Jiang purged the Party, he dared to stand up and publicly denounce it. When he became a traitor, he didn’t do anything, he was in charge of eating, drinking, and having fun.

   But such a person not only successfully bailed dozens of arrested military officers, but also directly turned against the big traitor Zhou Fohai. Dai Li’s counterfeit banknotes were provided by Zhou Fohai. The death of the great traitor Li Shiqun was also planned by Dai Li and Tang Shengming and executed by Zhou Fohai, and Li Shiqun was eliminated by the Japanese.

   What makes Lin Sen even more happy is that at the beginning of this year, the United Kingdom and the United States cancelled their privileges in China. That document was signed by Lin Sen, that is to say, Lin Sen, as the supreme leader of China, lifted the huge humiliation since the late Qing Dynasty.

   On the day of the signing of the new treaty between China, the United States, and the United Kingdom, Lin Sen was as happy as a child, pulling people everywhere to take pictures.

   “Mingcheng, how many manuscripts have you written this week?” Lin Sen asked.

   Zhou Hexuan said: “Not much, only 20,000 words.”

   “Enough is enough, show it to me.” Lin Sen couldn’t wait.

   “The Fifteen Years of Wanli” is a very evil book. Its reading requirements are very low, and people who have no knowledge of history can read it. It seems to be only the most basic historical popular reading material. But its reading upper limit is very high. The more you know about history, society, and life, the more you will gain from reading “The Fifteen Years of Wanli”. It is an anti-corruption work.

  Lin Sen’s favorite part is about Zhang Juzheng. While reading, he sighed, and he didn’t know which part of his memory evoked.

“The country is heavy and difficult to return, it is not much easier than Zhang Juzheng’s time,” Lin Sen put down the manuscript and said, “The government is just like the ministers of the Wanli Dynasty. The good policy of the central government will undoubtedly cut off their financial resources, so no matter how good the policy is It will also be deformed. If the corrupt officials are not eliminated, the government will die!”

“This is not something that corrupt officials can explain,” Zhou Hexuan said. “When Zhang Ju was imposing a whip law, a clean and honest person like Hai Rui also jumped out to object. Zhu Yuanzhang’s ancestral family law was wrong. For the law to be implemented smoothly, it is necessary to reform the Ming Dynasty’s official salary system and the Ming Dynasty’s system of preferential treatment for scholars. These two systems are the laws of the ancestors, and they cannot be easily moved, and interest groups will not tolerate anyone. “

  Lin Sen asked: “If you were Zhang Juzheng, what would you do?”

“It can’t be done,” Zhou Hexuan said. “Zhang Juzheng can be forced to reform while he is alive, and as soon as he dies, he will die immediately. Unless Zhang Juzheng can live to be a hundred years old, and can always get the unconditional support of the emperor, spend decades The reforms are stabilized and new regulations are formed. But this is impossible. Even if Zhang Juzheng can live to be 100 years old, it is impossible for Emperor Wanli to trust him forever. Because Zhang Juzheng himself is not clean, he is also one of the vested interests. The wealth of his family is so rich that he can startle the Wanli Emperor.”

Lin Sen shook his head and sighed, “Who can be truly selfless? Hai Rui is selfless, but he is also ruthless. He can only be a role model, and he is a role model that cannot be imitated. To be honest, Hai Rui’s betrayal of his teacher was out of the so-called public heart. , but was despised by people and did bad things.”

   “A person like Hai Rui can be a cruel official, a direct minister, but not a humerus. If he becomes the chief assistant of the cabinet, it is estimated that the Ming Dynasty will be finished before Chongzhen becomes emperor.” Zhou Hexuan said.

   Lin Sen echoed: “When the water is clear, there will be no fish.”

   Zhou Hexuan said in a joking tone: “China is now a pool of murky water, and there are fish hands everywhere under the water.”

  Lin Sen laughed dumbly, pointed at Zhou Hexuan and said, “Mingcheng, Mingcheng, your mouth is really poisonous.” After laughing, Lin Sen asked again, “What do you plan to write about this “Fifteen Years of Wanli”?”

   “A great collection of failures of the Ming Dynasty.” Zhou Hexuan said.

   “Is it a large gathering of political failures?” Lin Sen said.

   The most interesting part of “The Fifteen Years of Wanli” is that the characters and stories in this book can be applied to various countries in ancient and modern China and foreign countries, and can even be applied to companies and enterprises. You can think of it as a book on administrative management. If you can integrate and understand the Fifteen Years of Wanli, then you can be a qualified entrepreneur, or even a qualified official in charge.

   After chatting for a while, Lin Sen stopped disturbing Zhou Hexuan, and re-read the previous manuscript by himself. He found that every time he read “The Fifteen Years of Wanli”, he could find something different, and he gained a lot anyway.

   At this moment, another visitor came to the Zhou Mansion.

   “Mr. Zhou, long time no see!” Needham said with a smile.

   Zhou Hexuan asked in surprise: “When did Professor Li come to China?”

   Needham said: “Last year. I went to Kunming first, then Chengdu and Lizhuang. I need Mr. Zhou’s help now.”
