In fact, like his father Liu Ji, Liu Jing also has a dream of ruling the country and bringing peace to the world. How to save the people from the fire and water and find a way to benefit the country and the people? This problem is unsolvable for him. In his eyes,
,Mingtai
The ancestor Zhu Yuanzhang was a butcher. If his father had not retreated bravely, he would have been cooked like other heroes. His father had already retired, so he naturally did not dare to hang around in the court. Until his father died, Liu Jing still
No title will be accepted.
After finally waiting for Zhu Yuanzhang, who was difficult to serve, Liu Jing turned his attention to the imperial court again, hoping that the new emperor would be a promising king so that talented people like him could be effective. He was also a man who repaid his kindness.
A man who once vowed to kill himself in repayment and would not be ungrateful.
However, the new emperor is not what he imagined. Now the government has been controlled by the Jinshi Party. Although there was a precedent for imperial students to become officials in the early years of Hongwu, bureaucrats like Liu Jing could study in the Imperial College, and the outstanding imperial students could be admitted after they dropped out of school.
Official, but later the imperial examination was opened, and the correct way to become an official was to study and pass the imperial examination.
During the Jianwen period, a pattern had been formed in which non-Jinshi scholars could not stay in Beijing as officials. As long as a Jinshi was born, his merits would be remembered, and someone would protect him in case of trouble. Starting from a seventh-grade official, after several decades, even if there was a famine or drought,
If you meet them all, you can even get from the fifth-grade deputy director level
. But if you are a candidate for promotion or supervising students, others will always take the credit and you will always bear the blame. Even if you do not cause trouble, your superiors will find trouble for you from time to time. Starting from the ninth rank, you will have a good harvest of An Tai every year, and you can reach the seventh rank.
If the county magistrate retires, your life will be good.
Liu Jing is not even a judge, nor is he even a waste. A son of a hero like him is either sent out to work as an envoy for the vassal king, or he works as a small envoy with the army. There is no way he can directly enter the court to discuss politics. Now he is nearly five years old.
Ten, still nothing has been accomplished. I can't survive in the court, so I have no choice but to return to my hometown.
Of course, Liu Jing was still unwilling to end his life doing nothing. He heard that there was a flood in the north, so he left home and went north, wandering around Shandong, Shanxi and other places. Later, he was invited by Tie Xuan to come to Beiping City as a guest. He came
We have been in Peiping for more than a month, and we have a preliminary understanding of Shuntian Mansion and the Peking Army. Seeing that everything in Peiping City is in full swing, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and it is a prosperous and prosperous era, I naturally feel a little more nostalgic.
"Mr. Liu is a master of his family. He is knowledgeable and knowledgeable about the present, and his talents are extremely high. Our Shuntian Mansion welcomes knowledgeable people to join, and all talented people can be reused. I wonder what Mr. Liu wants?" After chatting for a while, Tie Xuan finally started to talk about the business.
Yes, Dai Wanlei asked.
"This, Mr. Tie, is ridiculous. I am just a wild villager with vulgar talents, which makes people laughable." Liu Jing is nostalgic, but in her heart, Liu Jing still looks down on Tie Xuan. After all, in his heart, loyalty takes precedence, and rebellion takes precedence.
He will not do anything about the Ming Dynasty.
"Haha, I in Shuntian Prefecture never judge heroes based on their birthplace. As the saying goes, a ruler is short and an inch is strong. Village men do not practice Confucianism, but they are good at farming; women do not leave the boudoir, but they are good at weaving; everyone in the world has a skill.
, it depends on whether those in power know how to understand people.
It’s just a matter of knowing whether it will be used.” Wan Lei looked at the other party, as if he had seen through what he was thinking, and changed his tone and said: “Love for the country and the people is the most important thing in the world. If a ruler is foolish and harms the country, it is because of it.
The people are thieves, how can a wise man betray his righteousness and be loyal to the emperor and become a traitor?"
"What the young layman said is a great fallacy. We have different opinions and cannot agree with each other. Take your leave!" Liu Jing suddenly stood up and walked away. It seemed that she was frightened by Wan Lei's words.
"Mr. Liu, don't..." Tie Xuan was about to invite the guest, but Wan Lei grabbed him and whispered in his ear: "Don't worry, he will be back."
The reason why Wan Lei is so sure that Liu Jing will leave and come back is because he understands people's hearts well. Liu Jing stayed in Beiping City for more than a month and did not even return home during the Chinese New Year. This shows that he is not nostalgic for the prosperity of Beiping City, but for the prosperity of Beiping City.
I am interested in certain aspects, and this so-called certain aspects are technology.
There are blast furnace ironworks, a new fertilizer factory, a spinning factory, a wax factory, a cement factory, a brick factory, and dozens of workshops of various sizes in Beiping City, especially the iron factory, which is Liu Jing's most important work.
interested.
In addition to various factories and workshops, Beiping City also has iron cannons, towering bell towers, and brick walls. All of these are manifestations of its strength. Although in terms of prosperity, Beiping is not as prosperous as Jinling.
Than, but for a city that has just been rebuilt from the war, being able to do this is already the limit.
Even though he was envious of the construction achievements of Beiping City, Liu Jing still would not join in it hastily. Although he had resentment towards the Ming Dynasty, it was not sworn hatred. Moreover, for a man who had food and clothing,
For people, rebellion involves risks and being beheaded if caught, so he had to think carefully.
As a normal person, he will never be so rash when making a decision that may cause his head to fall. If Liu Jing immediately agrees to join the Shuntian Mansion, then he is a reckless person. Such a person is a grown-up.
Wan Lei wouldn't take him in if it wasn't anything serious.
The people who can really accomplish great things are those who are fearful. Even though Wan Lei was unhappy in life, suffered great pain, and had hatred for the Ming Dynasty, he did not directly rise up, because he knew that life was precious, and once he chose to rebel
, there is no turning back.
After Liu Jing became a hero, he wanted to make contributions but did not want to rebel. Because he only had one life to die, his parents were dead, he had nothing to live on, one person had enough to eat and the whole family was not hungry, and those who did not have a legitimate job were born rebels. He had enough to eat and everything to do.
If you wear clothes and read books, you still have a certain social status in the Ming Dynasty, and there is no need to put yourself in danger.
And although the world is not very peaceful now, people's hearts are still calm. It is not the chaotic times at the end of the Yuan Dynasty. If you join a rebel organization at this time, the result will only be wind and water.
In fact, there are many people in this world, engaged in different professions, farmers farming, businessmen, and craftsmen tinkering. They are all one of the many living beings in this world. And among them, there are some
People are not satisfied with engaging in these humble professions, so they choose another path - studying.
From the words of saints to the ways of managing the world, they read all books, and from these books, they mastered some essential and regular things, allowing them to view the world more rationally and objectively. Liu Jing is
For such a scholar, the purpose of studying is to cultivate one's moral character, manage one's family, govern the country, and bring peace to the world. He strives to become an able minister in governing the world, and to make meritorious deeds and be remembered for generations to come.
Obviously, Liu Jing is a sane person, and he is not the kind of person who has nothing to do after having a full meal. Rebellion is not a good entertainment activity, and he will not be keen on it. However, Wan Lei learned from his performance
See the essence: The reason why Liu Jing stayed in Beiping City for a long time was because of two words - ambition.
Liu Jing is a lost person. Like his father, he has learned from ancient and modern times and has great strategies, but he cannot be reused for various reasons. Now he is nearly fifty years old. His youthful years are gone and time has passed.
Time has increased the wrinkles on his face, but it has also tempered his heart.
Waiting again and again, and being disappointed again and again, the person who was supposed to be caring for his elderly at home has turned into a powder keg, which will explode as long as there is the right fuse and time. Wan Lei is secretly preparing to make a tinderbox.
The fierce fire detonated this stuffy jar-like powder keg, making this old guy serve the Shuntian Mansion wholeheartedly.
