"Don't indulge that boy too much. He is so old and he likes to read those miscellaneous books. It is good to read a lot of books, but if you read some books like The West Chamber and the Palace of Immortality... and become a playboy, do you regret it?"
Jiang Nan sent the child away and angrily lectured Zhang Ximeng. Her eyes widened with anger, and she really looked like a tigress. As the saying goes, being a mother makes you strong, is this the truth?
Zhang Ximeng took his time and explained his son's idea of selling literacy cards.
"What do you think of this kid's idea?"
Jiang Nan nodded subconsciously, "Not bad, I should be able to earn some pocket money!" She chuckled: "I used to be worried that he would only learn rote books, don't become a lump, but now he seems to be quite smart.
good!"
Zhang Ximeng chuckled and said: "Since he has such scheming intentions, do you want to control him watching The West Chamber? Isn't it a bit too big to do it?"
Jiang Nan was stunned for a moment. She smacked her lips for a moment, and it turned out to be true. At the same time, she couldn't help but sigh and shake her head, "As a mother, I not only hope that my son will be successful, but I am also worried that he will be disobedient and go astray.
.In the end, my husband sees it more clearly."
Zhang Ximeng smiled and said, "There is nothing more clear...what the child will become depends on the two of us paying more attention to it. Then it will also depend on his character."
Jiang Nan nodded, "I still trust my son's character, but he went to Jimin Academy, so far away from home. Originally, I just didn't want His Majesty to interfere casually, and I didn't want him to play with the dandies in Beijing. Now.
It seems that the people in Jimin Academy may not be ordinary children!"
Zhang Ximeng laughed loudly, "Madam, you finally got to the point. If I'm not wrong, a new group of talents is about to emerge."
Jiang Nan was stunned, is there any pattern to this?
Can't you just pinch your fingers and give a conclusion like a blind fortune teller?
When did Mr. Zhang change his career to become a magician?
Zhang Ximeng was smiling brightly, obviously not talking nonsense... There are indeed patterns in some things... For example, natural and man-made disasters in the late Yuan Dynasty all fell in the area between the Yellow River, Huaihe River, and Yangtze River.
That is, the entire Jiangbei Province of Henan.
Needless to say, people like Zhu Yuanzhang, Liu Futong, Zhang Shicheng, and even Chahan Timur and Li Siqi, who were responsible for suppressing the Red Turbans, were all from the same province.
In this land, within a generation, warriors will emerge!
There are peerless generals and powerful commanders. In short, fierce generals and powerful soldiers emerge in endlessly, creating a world of great strife.
Similar situations did not exist in other dynasties.
But for the Ming Dynasty, there are not only this group of powerful warriors, but also a large number of outstanding literati who are brewing. Wu Quxing and Wenquxing are coming one after another. This is a bit unbelievable!
There is no doubt that the warriors concentrated in Huaixi and the area north of the Yangtze River, while the Wenquxing fell collectively to the south of the Yangtze River.
Among them, Jiangxi received most of its luck!
Jiangxi itself has great advantages, with a developed economy and a collection of humanities. Needless to say, these are all.
In the war at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Jiangxi suffered little damage and its population advantage was very obvious.
After Zhu Yuanzhang occupied Jiangxi, he promoted enlightenment and established schools.
Zhang Ximeng placed Jimin School in Jiangxi again... Various advantages were added up, and within a few years, the number of students in Jiangxi was definitely over one million.
There are so many people reading and there is a tradition of being able to read.
It goes without saying that there are many talents.
"Those children who are now in their teens will fill the court in twenty or thirty years and become the backbone of the Ming Dynasty. Shu Ning's classmates, it is unknown how many prime ministers and ministers will come out in the future! The Ming Dynasty
In the first twenty years, look at the Huaixi warriors, and in the next twenty years, look at the Jiangxi literati!"
Zhang Ximeng said with a smile. He raised his head slightly and looked at Jiang Nan, whose face changed.
Yes, Jiang Nan was really scared.
She agreed that her son should go to Jimin Academy. She really didn't think too much about it. She was just afraid that those princes who jumped up and down and nobles who did evil would teach her son badly.
But when she heard it now, she was surprised to find that her husband was playing a big game.
A very, very big flag!
Indeed, today, Jiang Nan finally feels how terrible her husband is... This man is too calculating.
The plan he laid out was not a conspiracy, but an upright, upright, and aboveboard conspiracy!
No one in the dynasty, from Li Shanchang on down, including those generals, would want to collude with each other, form a group, and control the situation of the dynasty!
They will only think that the noble officials and officials in Beijing, those who hold high positions, are worthy of winning over and cooperating.
Absolutely no one could have imagined that in the future of Ming Dynasty, those who really determine the fate of the country are still a group of primary school students, even running around in crotchless pants.
Zhang Ximeng asked his son to study at Jimin Academy. It seemed like a random step, but by the time others realized it, most of the world's future talents would have already fallen under the Zhang family!
"My husband, you, you promised to give Shu Ning money and let him make literacy cards. Do you have such a plan?" Jiang Nan couldn't help but be surprised. Her husband is simply a monster!
Zhang Ximeng shook his head quickly, "I'm not that scheming, and you have to understand that everything depends on people. If Shu Ning is a bastard, no matter how many arrangements I make, it will be in vain. This is the so-called let nature take its course. But if you insist on telling me
No matter what the plan is, I just want these smart people in the future of the Ming Dynasty to know the existence of business operations and how to make money and make a fortune, and not just be fools who can only read."
"Also, I hope they will pay attention to the existence of business and know the value of business in the future. If they want to get out of the intensive agricultural circle, countless talents are the biggest weapon in my hand!"
Zhang Ximeng said with a smile, with unshakable confidence between his eyebrows.
It wasn't until this moment that Zhang Ximeng showed his trump card.
Why should we change Lao Zhu’s mind and why should we develop industry?
The reason is the solid talent pool and the ideas that have been infused into them in advance.
No matter how powerful Zhu Yuanzhang is, he is only as sharp as the sword in his hand. He can kill people, but Zhang Ximeng's ability is not only to kill people.
And there is a deeper layer here. Facing a hero like Zhu Yuanzhang, if one day, Lao Zhu becomes confused, old, unable to hold on any longer, and wants to eliminate the threat to future generations, he will kill Zhang Ximeng.
Take him away too... Why does Mr. Zhang have to deal with Zhu Yuanzhang? What cards does he have in his hand?
This is where Zhang Ximeng’s confidence lies.
When Liu Bang was dying, he wanted to take Fan Kuai away.
But Chen Ping firmly opposed it and refused to implement it at all... The reason is very simple. You Liu Bang is almost finished. If we kill Fan Kuai, Empress Lu will be furious when the time comes. Why don't you kill us and destroy the nine tribes!
An old emperor was getting older and his condition was visibly worse. When meeting guests, he couldn't control himself and acted out at every turn.
The people below will definitely have other thoughts and won't be so obedient.
The so-called humble public utensils, the key is not the humbleness, but the public utensils!
Of course, Zhang Ximeng did this not with ulterior motives or to plot against Lao Zhu. In fact, he would rather grow old quietly with Lao Zhu, then drink and talk happily, entertain the grandchildren, and sing a song about the sunset... Zhang Ximeng wants to stay.
This set of things is actually to prepare for the future.
It lays the foundation and rules for this country's centuries-old foundation.
From this point of view, Zhu Yuanzhang's establishment of this educational law is indeed of great merit, comparable to his overthrow of the Yuan Dynasty and the reconstruction of China!
Education falls under the law, and talent training is determined.
And these talents are the backbone of this country, filling various industries and controlling the lifeblood. Once they reach a consensus and form a universally consistent concept... even if they are as strong as Zhu Yuanzhang, they can only do nothing.
Lao Zhu cannot change, which means that future emperors will be even more unable to shake him.
The ancestral rules are not empty words on paper after all!
Zhang Ximeng is indeed laying out the plan, and what he has laid out is an upright and justifiable plan!
Two days later, Li Shanchang invited Zhang Ximeng to Zhongshu Province. Officials from the two provinces, including other important ministers, met in Zhongshu Province to discuss the issue of education laws.
"Prime Minister Li, gentlemen, I believe that this decree is the foundation of the Ming Dynasty... From now on, widespread and universal compulsory education should be established. In other words, the state should provide education to all school-age children free of tuition. And
All parents and elders of students must not prevent students from receiving education. It is illegal to not allow children to go to school! They need to be corrected. In serious cases, they can be arrested and prosecuted at the Yamen!"
Zhang Ximeng said slowly, and among the gentlemen present, some people subconsciously owed their butts.
What's the meaning?
Could it be said that parents are breaking the law if they don’t let their children study?
It’s too much to raise a child, feed him, clothe him, and then be locked up if he doesn’t go to school. Isn’t this too much?
At this moment, the old man Zhu Sheng suddenly spoke. As the oldest person participating in politics, Li Shanchang and Zhang Ximeng both respected him, not to mention the others.
"I remember that when Prime Minister Zhang was persuading the superiors to let women enter school, he said that both men and women must work and produce. It is men and women who work together to enrich society and create wealth. Not allowing women to enroll in school will cause losses.
It is this country that belongs to us. An ordinary citizen cannot do anything that damages the country, so we cannot prevent women from enrolling in school!"
Zhu Sheng looked at everyone, "Do you think Prime Minister Zhang's judgment at that time was fair?"
After everyone hesitated for a moment, Wang Guangyang and others hurriedly bowed and said: "It's indeed fair. Mr. Zhang's opinion is that we are in total submission!"
Zhu Sheng smiled and said: "Very good, in that case, I dare to say a few more words today... A person not only needs to work, not only needs to create wealth. Life in the world itself is an enrichment for this country. Everyone has something.
Irreplaceable value, everyone should receive education, improve their realm, and pursue a better future."
Zhu Sheng smiled and said: "Xiang Zhang, what do you think of what I said?"
Zhang Ximeng nodded, "Mr. Fenglin made it clear! This education law is the most important law in the ten years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and it is also the blessing that your Majesty has given to the people of the world!"
