Chapter 646: Change(2/2)
Zhang Ren even knew that Old Master Cen, the teacher of Xiao Cheng, the first assistant, was planning to open a large school. The academies, like the school, were free for people to move in. All the expenses were raised by Master Cen.
Others couldn't get money, but Master Cen didn't have this worry. Wherever he went, there were naturally rich people rushing to give money away, just thinking about building connections with this old man who was over seventy years old.
Who is Mr. Cen?
Student Xiao Cheng is the first assistant, and his son Cen Zhong has now been promoted to the second assistant.
When there are more such schools, there will naturally be more literate people. There is no need to have much knowledge. It is enough to be able to read such a newspaper.
Moreover, since newspapers have already appeared, in the future, they will definitely not be like this, there will be more.
It will definitely become more and more difficult to manage people by utilizing the serious inequalities in knowledge and information.
The sky was getting dark, and the newspaper had not been finished yet, but Zhang Ren and others were about to return to camp.
He returned the newspaper to Zhou Hong, preparing to read it again tomorrow.
Zhou Hong also handed him a jar of fish sauce, which was his reward every time he read the newspaper to everyone.
Naturally, Zhang Ren readily accepted the fish sauce that made even the chief minister and his assistant rave about it. The meal for ten people could last for several days!
The night is deep.
Zhang Ren stood on the sentry tower of the camp, staring at the bright moon in the sky.
Today, things have finally changed.
There were many things that were not stated clearly in newspapers, but he could get a glimpse of them from letters home.
Every month, his mother would write him a letter.
When he first heard about the Suzhou Rebellion, he was frightened. His home is in Suzhou! He heard that many people died, and he was afraid that his family would be affected.
Fortunately it's okay.
But then the Second Assistant Secretary Junchao retired, the Sixth Section sent Luo Xin to the Suzhou magistrate, the Supervisory Council Zhongcheng Zheng Qi inspected the areas south of the Yangtze River, Taihu suppressed the bandits, Shi Jie was conferred, and thousands of imperial troops who followed Shi Jie's rebellion surrendered, and then
The family members of these people were implicated together and were sent to the southwest by the Lianzuo.
His mother always talked about things in her mouth, but Zhang Ren was able to find out what he wanted to know from these words.
The Jiangnan faction suffered a huge defeat and was defeated by the chief assistant.
My father was really very discerning. He surrendered early and got out of this circle of right and wrong. If his father had not left this circle of right and wrong, even if he had not died in the riot, he would probably have appeared on the list of those who were assigned.
At present, my father is working as a county magistrate in Yunnan, and the family's property has not been reduced at all. However, many of his old friends may become some of the controlled tattoo criminals under his rule.
What makes Zhang Ren most sad is that many of his friends have fallen into trouble.
Some died during the chaotic period, some were involved in treason cases, and some actually colluded with Liao spies. Most of them had their faces tattooed and were issued. It can be said that their lives have been advanced.
it's over.
Just like someone whose face is tattooed can change his life, there must be only one Judge Dee in the past few hundred years!
Zhang Ren doesn't think his friends can do it.
But can I live longer than these people?
Zhang Ren doesn't know.
As the chief minister and others won a resounding victory in the political battle, the conflict with the north became even more fixed and unchangeable.
Unlike Shi Chang and others, they actually have a passionate desire to fight.
Zhang Ren is very afraid of war.
Not to mention a small soldier like him, but also a lieutenant or a general, as soon as he steps onto the battlefield, his life or death cannot be decided by himself, everything depends on God's will.
He doesn't want to die!
But when you are in the army, how can you control your own life and death?
Apart from working hard to improve his survival skills, Zhang Ren could not think of any other way.
"What are you thinking about?" The chief next to him patted him on the shoulder.
"I don't know when a fight will start!" Zhang Ren whispered.
"Soon." Shi Chang said.
"What news do you have?"
"What kind of news do we need!" Shi Chang said with a smile: "In another two months, there will be no food on the other side, and it is the harvest time here. How can they not come and grab it?"
