An extra chapter to the main text of the First Minister of the Ming Dynasty: Lao Zhang, who loved fishing. In the small courtyard of Sanjin on the shore of the West Lake, bamboos are lush and osmanthus trees are fragrant.
This is the place Zhang Ximeng chose for himself to retire.
He was afraid that moisture would seriously damage his body, so he built two earth dragons underground. In autumn and winter, he would get up early to dispel the cold. As for the seats in the room, there were also wolfskin mats, stoves, braziers, and soup pots.
It is a must-have after the Zhang Mid-Autumn Festival.
It seems that in the winter months, he almost froze to death outside. The older he gets, the more Zhang Ximeng cares about health care, which is why he doesn't want to be a neighbor with Lao Zhu.
On weekdays, Zhang Ximeng is still busy with many things. For example, in the morning, he eats eighty cents full, then carries his fishing rod and goes to the West Lake, where he sits until noon. Regardless of whether there is any harvest, he returns home to eat and then takes a nap.
When he got up, he started writing.
Zhang Ximeng would read many books, brainstorm, and form a set of theories, and then write furiously, occasionally stopping to think deeply. Sometimes for a joint, he would think for a long time, three to five days, or even ten days and a half.
But once he straightens out his thoughts, he can write quickly and easily. It is normal for him to write thousands of words a day.
The book written by Zhang Ximeng at this time is called "History of the Development of the Chinese Nation", which can be roughly understood as the formation of a unified country.
Zhang Ximeng tried to find experience from history to solve the current problems faced by the Ming Dynasty.
Is there any problem with the Ming Dynasty at this time?
In fact, there are still some. For example, recently, a young Jinshi named Jian Yi wrote to the court, hoping to speed up the construction of the province and promote it widely to cover the whole country.
Jian Yi's letter actually received enthusiastic responses from people such as Fang Xiaoru, Huang Zicheng and others. For a time, it was discussed everywhere, with overwhelming momentum.
But standing on the opposite side of them, they were still powerful, including Yang Shiqi and the consort Hu Yan. These two resolutely criticized Jian Yi, saying that he was a waste of people's power and was too powerful to deserve it.
But Jian Yi also argued hard. He believed that although there are great difficulties now and there are inevitable repetitions, the key is to continue to implement it. Even if it is only for a short time, it will form a routine just like Qin Shihuang unified the world, and it will last forever.
Absolute unity.
No one can reverse the trend.
If you don't take advantage of it now, you will lose the opportunity and you will only have more constraints in the future.
Should I be the First Emperor of Qin or the Emperor of Zhou?
Jian Yi and others even issued soul torture, directly attacking Zhu Biao's weakness.
Zhang Chengtian sat on the small bench and watched his father fishing. He was still young and couldn't stand this kind of game where only those who are willing to take the bait can't stand it.
But he had no choice. He had just been transferred to the capital from Jiangxi and worked as a minister in Zhongshu Province. He was usually responsible for contacting Zhongshu and Zhu Biao. When encountering urgent matters, it was natural for him to come to consult the Grand Master.
Otherwise, what's the point of specially transferring him to the capital?
Zhang Ximeng finally sighed and said with a smile:
Zhang Chengtian’s face turned bitter,
Zhang Ximeng said casually.
Zhang Chengtian was even more helpless,
Zhang Ximeng laughed and said:
Zhang Chengtian shook his head quickly,
Zhang Ximeng had a smile on his face and was not surprised at all.
He had even expected it.
As Zhang Ximeng spoke, he suddenly lifted the fishing rod in his hand, and a crucian carp flew into his hand.
Zhang Ximeng was overjoyed,
Zhang Chengtian almost cried. We have just opened now. What are you busy with? Isn’t this a waste of time?
Regardless of this, Zhang Ximeng caught a fish. He was in a good mood and started talking...
Zhang Chengtian wanted to cry,
Zhang Ximeng said seriously:
Zhang Chengtian thought about it again and again, and finally said:
Zhang Ximeng laughed and said:
Zhang Chengtian lowered his head and thought for a while, then suddenly said:
Zhang Ximeng laughed and said:
Zhang Chengtian’s knowledge is not too bad. He quickly shook his head,
Zhang Ximeng laughed and said:
Zhang Chengtian was startled and said:
Zhang Ximeng laughed and said:
Zhang Chengtian was stunned by the question and said helplessly:
Zhang Ximeng smiled,
Zhang Chengtian was greatly surprised that it was so simple
He was stunned for a while and thought about it again and again. It seemed to make sense!
In the Qin Dynasty, how many years passed between Shang Yang's reform and Shi Huang's unification of the world?
One hundred and thirty-five years!
During this period, there were six Qin kings, including the First Emperor, seven generations.
Are you from Qin so fond of Shang Yang's reforms?
What a joke, if it was really so welcoming, Shang Yang wouldn't have died.
The people of Qin also went back and forth, and it took them a long time to adapt to Qin's laws and burst out with great power to unify the world.
The First Emperor unified the world and implemented Qin's laws. Rebellions broke out in various places. Even after the death of the First Emperor, he overthrew the Qin Dynasty... Zhang Chengtian thought about it repeatedly, suddenly slapped his thigh and exclaimed:
Zhang Ximeng hummed:
Zhang Chengtian doesn’t care about his father fishing, he just thinks about himself:
Zhang Ximeng hummed:
Zhang Chengtian's eyes were gleaming, and he had the feeling that if he heard the truth in the morning, he would die in the evening.
In just a few words, the confusion lingering in his heart was resolved. Zhang Chengtian felt that he was suddenly standing on the top of the mountain, overlooking the two thousand years of history, and his whole body felt extremely relaxed.
The Qin system is to be implemented in the world, which is true, but the people of the world must also adapt to the Qin system.
The First Emperor's merits are irrefutable, but he was so impatient that he lost control and ruined the Qin Dynasty, and the Qin system almost came to an end.
When Liu Bang arrived, he continued to inherit the Qin system, but also made patches to the Qin system.
Although the emperors before Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty inherited the Qin system, they did not engage in large-scale construction or large-scale construction projects. They rested with the people, governed by doing nothing, and restored the people's strength.
This can be regarded as solving the biggest drawback of the Qin system.
Subsequently, regarding the issues of enfeoffment and counties, the Han Dynasty took a half-step back, allowing the coexistence of feudal states and prefectures and counties, and giving the people time to adapt.
When the people can accept the unification, then gradually eliminate the feudal states, gather power, and complete the country's unification.
If it was the first emperor's pioneering move, which was a great act of bravery, then the Han Dynasty's inheritance of the Qin system and perfecting the unification was a supreme wisdom!
With great wisdom and courage, the pattern of unification of China was achieved.
Both are indispensable and equally important.
Zhang Ximeng laughed and said:
Zhang Chengtian extended two thumbs up,
Zhang Chengtian was overjoyed. He finally figured it out and could send a message to Zhu Biao.
Zhang Ximeng was stunned,
Zhang Chengtian looked at the fish, which was no bigger than a palm, and grinned:
After saying that, the kid ran away in a flash. Zhang Ximeng was so angry that he stamped his feet, bastard! Little bastard, please give me some advice from your father. I humbly gave you some advice and ran away!
Can't you stay with me a little longer?
While Zhang Ximeng was complaining, Zhang Chengtian turned around and came back.
As Zhang Chengtian said this, he backed away, turned around and ran away.
Zhang Ximeng was holding the fishing rod and yelling,
