Zhang Shuning said simply: "I also have so many students. I helped you. What if you pass the exam and occupy someone else's spot?"
Zhang Chengtian was dumbfounded, "What should I do? I am your brother! Dear!"
Zhang Shuning remained calm and calm, "The king of heaven and earth is the master, master and disciple are actually better than brothers."
"You're talking nonsense!" Zhang Chengtian said angrily: "Our father has reset the rules. What's more, even in the past, wasn't it normal for brothers to criticize each other? By the way, just like Su Shi and Su Che! We brothers,
Including dad, we have three, don’t you think so?”
In order to convince his eldest brother, Zhang Chengtian really said everything.
But Zhang Shuning remained indifferent, "As I said before, I can't help you start a small business and teach you how to get into school."
"Why? Just because you are my brother, for the sake of fairness?" Zhang Chengzhen was about to cry, almost begging: "You teach me in private, no one will talk about you!"
"It's not just that." After Zhang Shuning thought carefully, he still shook his head. He stood up and pulled Zhang Chengtian to his small study. Facing a whole shelf of books, Zhang Shuning sighed softly, "Second brother, your conditions
It's already very good. You have the conditions that others can't imagine. At this time, you still need me to help you open a small stove. This shows that your brain is really not good. Even if you are lucky enough to pass the exam,
So what? Just be an ordinary official?"
"Of course not, I want to be the capital..." Zhang Chengtian shut up in time and almost said what he was thinking.
Zhang Shuning ignored him and said seriously: "Second brother, you are the son of the Zhang family. Even if you are not a natural talent, you cannot rely on others for such trivial matters as studying and taking exams. You have to learn and enlighten yourself...
…I can only tell you two sentences!”
Zhang Shuning stretched out his finger, "First, I have written down how to take the exam in the teaching aid. I have not reserved anything. Once you understand it, you will be able to take the exam."
"Secondly, learning is not that difficult. On the contrary, learning is very interesting. Be confident!"
Zhang Shuning patted Zhang Chengtian on the shoulder, and then he turned and left.
Zhang Chengtian gritted his teeth and snorted coldly: "Stingy! Just wait, I can get in even if I study on my own! It's no big deal!"
The little fat man really got mad. He reduced the frequency of going out and even gave up his favorite roast duck.
He began to look through all the textbooks, from beginning to end, and read them carefully.
Gradually, Zhang Chengtian found that it didn't seem that difficult...especially in the liberal arts, it was so easy to grasp.
There are several articles in it, written by my father.
There are not so many convoluted allusions, they are all very plain and direct stuff. Is there anything you don’t understand?
As for other contents, they are all entry-level and nothing significant.
I only learned the math part, and Zhang Chengtian was disappointed.
This stuff can't be figured out just by working hard.
Zhang Chengtian really needs to get started, but the problem is that his elder brother doesn't teach, but Senior Sister Xia can teach. But the problem is that Xia Zhifeng's thinking jumps, her lectures are not the kind that explain things in simple terms, and I can't understand them at all.
It doesn't seem to work at my dad's place either.
I can do that, but I'm too busy with work and the Daming Bank has just started operating, so I can't spare any time at all.
Good guy, look around you, no one can teach you!
Zhang Chengtian almost cried. Is it possible that he should go out and hire a teacher to teach him?
With this little salary, I can probably hire a teacher!
Salary, I feel so sad!
Zhang Chengtian suddenly thought of a person...Zhu Yuanzhang!
I can go find your Majesty!
Let your majesty teach me!
Will Lao Zhu do it?
Don't underestimate Emperor Hongwu. Zhu Yuanzhang taught princesses and princes, and he also experienced the hardships of tutoring homework.
Teaching Zhang Chengtian mathematics should be no problem at all.
There is only one question left. Does Lao Zhu have time?
Zhang Chengtian thought about it and wasn't sure yet, but it seemed like he wasn't busy.
No matter what, this is the only way to save money.
Zhang Chengtian carried the mathematics textbook and practice problem set and ran to report to Lao Zhu the situation in the capital.
It's okay if you ask me to help you find out the news, but you also have to do something for me!
"Just these three questions, please, Your Majesty!"
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the serious Zhang Chengtian and suddenly couldn't help laughing. The more he laughed, the happier he became. He simply stood up and slapped the table.
Zhang Chengtian was stunned, what happened?
Is Your Majesty crazy?
In the next second, Zhu Yuanzhang slapped the table decisively, "Okay! Let's teach! We will teach well!"
Lao Zhu is really happy.
Your Grand Master Zhang has always looked down on the royal family's intelligence. Now it's better. A fool has come out of your family. You are the master of Zhu Biao, and now we are the master of Zhang Chengtian.
This can be regarded as retribution, the cycle of heaven!
Let’s see how you still pretend to be stupid with us!
After so many years of feeling aggrieved, Lao Zhu felt that it was a relief to let out his resentment.
He even thought that it would be fine to find some money.
This job is so good that I can only dream of it!
Lao Zhu took it seriously, and Zhang Chengtian also listened carefully and thought about it carefully.
Time flew by so fast, more than an hour passed in the blink of an eye.
"Boy Chengtian, do you understand?"
"I understand, I understand!" Zhang Chengtian's eyes were still on the book, and his heart had not yet been taken back. He suddenly discovered that there seemed to be nothing difficult at all. It was all easy and easy.
The little fat man laughed from the bottom of his heart, "Your Majesty, why do I think your lectures are better than those of the school teachers?"
"Oh? How about we compare with your father?"
Zhang Chengtian thought seriously for a while, and then said seriously: "From my point of view, what your Majesty said is better than what my father said! At least I understood it!"
"Ouch!"
Lao Zhu was simply overjoyed. After listening to flattery for so many years, nothing sounded as sweet and pleasant as this sentence!
"Don't worry, if we teach you, you will definitely be admitted to Jimin Academy! I don't believe it. When it comes to teaching and educating people, we really can't compare to you, Grand Master Zhang!"
Zhu Yuanzhang got angry, and Zhang Chengtian became the first serious disciple of the emperor through such a strange combination of tricks.
In fact, Lao Zhu also gave lectures in person before. He taught military generals and later became a famous martial arts master. It can be said that he has rich teaching experience and skilled skills.
It's just that in the past, Lao Zhu was afraid that these people would bully others, so he didn't let them consider themselves students.
But when it comes to Zhang Chengtian, the little fat guy is still very lovable.
Let’s accept this apprentice!
Lao Zhu was also driven by a competitive spirit and insisted on competing with Zhang Ximeng in teaching. In the end, he got an advantage over Zhang Chengtian, so why bother?
I can only say that Lao Zhu is indeed too idle.
In addition to occasionally teaching Zhang Chengtian, the biggest thing he did was to talk about some national affairs with his fellow villagers from Fengyang.
In the past, Lao Zhu only discussed matters with ministers. Although those people were extremely intelligent, they were always arrogant and ill-intentioned, and they were not as comfortable as chatting with fellow villagers.
"We have settled this account with everyone several times. People are multiplying, and there are more and more people, but there is only so much land, and it will not appear out of thin air. After it is divided equally this time, it will fall on everyone.
There are less than ten acres of farmland left. We can harvest seven to eight hundred kilograms of grain a year, as long as there are no natural disasters. This time our land tax will also be reduced, only 5%. If it falls on one person, it will not be enough.
Fifty pounds. But even so, we are still worried about the big guy!"
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "The family eats, drinks, has diarrhea, grows old, gets sick and dies, the son gets married, the daughter gets married, and everyone has a
What should I do when I am old and sick? Go to the city to work, or start a small business to supplement the family income. We know that everyone is honest and willing to work, and they will not really rely on just that little land."
"But even so, I'm afraid it's not easy to just fill our stomachs and buy new clothes for our children all year round." Zhu Yuanzhang patiently settled the accounts for everyone.
In fact, this account is very clear. Everyone has calculated it countless times. Lao Zhu’s estimate is still optimistic.
But then again, hasn’t this been the way we have lived for thousands of years? Is there any other way?
Why don't you, Emperor Zhu, reward us a little so that the folks can live a more comfortable life?
They didn't dare to say this. After all, they still knew who Zhu Yuanzhang was. The second-in-command, Wang Guangyang, was already thrown into the sky prison.
It can be regarded as giving them the final say. People should be content.
"Your Majesty, we don't want to suffer poverty, but what else can we do?"
Lao Zhu smiled and said: "We might as well make it clear to the big guys. Now that Daming Bank has loans, it is to support the big guys to develop overseas. It means to go outside to enclose land and farm. There is a lot of land outside, and you can get as much land as you want! Of course,
It's dangerous to go out, and we know that."
"But we are all our fellow villagers, and it was the Huaixi people who brought about the Ming Dynasty. We thought, we are not afraid of conquering the world with our heads raised, and there is nothing to be afraid of when we go out to grab territory and occupy the land. After all, you have people behind you.
In the Ming Dynasty, we are the emperor and there are so many soldiers who have helped you clear the obstacles... What you are going to now is not the hot places in Nanyang, but the Japanese country of Korea. They also farm all year round and the land is fertile. You go
If you do, there will be a bunch of tenants working for you right away."
"How about it! Do you guys have any thoughts?"
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at this group of villagers and said that no one was interested, but that was a lie.
But when people think about going out, walking so far and leaving their hometown, people can't help but hesitate.
A golden nest or a silver nest is not as good as your own doghouse.
After all, the family can still survive, and no one wants to do it until they are desperate.
Zhu Yuanzhang could also see it, and he did not force everyone to make a decision, but smiled and said: "You have been in Yingtian for some time, and your family is also worried. Let me invite you to watch a play. No matter what you guys plan, after watching the play
, when it’s time to go home, go home.”
Zhu Yuanzhang really did what he said. He changed his mind and invited everyone to watch the play in the palace. However, this play was very interesting and told the story of Zhang Qian's mission to the Western Regions.
A team of more than one hundred people finally returned to Han Dynasty after twelve years and hardships.
While watching the play, Zhu Yuanzhang prepared wine for the villagers.
"You guys may not know that this grape was introduced from the Western Regions. What we drink is not only fine wine, but also the legacy of our ancestors!"
When everyone heard this, their expressions changed, and when they looked at the wine glasses in their hands, they were completely different.
Someone finally made up his mind to go out, he must go out! Even for the sake of future generations, he must go out...
