On the evening when Lin Yanchao returned to Beijing, heavy rains in the capital were pouring.

There was a muffled thunder sounding above the carriage.

The thunderstorm poured down, and Zhan Ming drove the carriage slowly on the muddy road.

Occasionally, you can see pedestrians, carriages, caravans, and pedestrians wearing straw raincoats walking in a hurry in the rain. The road extends to the suburbs in the distance. Most of the wheat has been cut, and looking further away, there is a vast world.

Zhan Ming sat in front of the carriage and rode the carriage. Under the thunderous thunder, he felt the vastness of the world more and more.

But in the carriage, I heard that the master who was promoted from Beijing was muttering to do something.

Zhan Ming took a look before, and the master was holding a book and a pen and ink.

After being with the master for more than ten years, he has also learned a little about writing, and even under the guidance of the master, he can write the military tactics of the Yu family army by himself. The master has always told him that he does not understand military tactics and the articles he writes are also talked about on paper, and he is afraid that he will lose the reputation of General Yu's for a while, so although he dare not write, he can guide Zhan Ming to write.

Zhan Ming didn't know if this was because of his lazy rude words, he deceived himself to serve with him for more than ten years, but he did try to write his experience of Yu Dashen's life fighting experience into a military book.

But today he felt that the master was doing something in the car. He occasionally heard a few words, such as, "If you want to break the old customs and eliminate the accumulated problems, you do not start working on things, but you must first emancipate your mind." These words are easy to understand.

But the following also says, "The Qing Dynasty made such a mistake. It was wrong to buy foreign guns and cannons and ships to build ships. It was a mistake to use the skills of our ancestors and learn from foreigners.

He couldn't understand these words. What was the Qing Dynasty? What were the foreigners?

"To emancipate the mind, we need to improve the quality of the people. People are foolish and do not read books to understand the truth. We can only make it through and not know it."

"Whether it is a merit or a forestry school, it only affects some scholars. The final way is to return to enlightening people's wisdom."

Hearing this, Zhan Ming stopped holding the whip. When he was in the army, he knew that the civil servants in the army looked down on them, Qiu Ba.

So in his eyes, when a person knows that he is smarter than most people through reading, it is rare to belittle others. As for what I know, it is even more rare to teach people who don’t know.

He remembered that Lin Yanchao once said to him that the survival of the weak is nature, human desire, the way of heaven, and being born equal is civilization, the law of heaven, and the way of humanity.

Fortunately, Zhan Ming still understands these sentences a little, and feels that there is a organized logic to follow, but he can't understand them below.

However, when I am not waiting, what is the involuntary effect, what is the diminishing marginal utility of the agricultural economy, what sweet potatoes can only push the Malthus trap, and what is the most important thing is the national economic transformation, which makes Zhan Ming's mind full of mud.

But Lin Yanchao was still holding the book, and then writing something on the paper, as if doing something that he had to rack his brains to do. Zhan Ming shook his head and continued to drive the car.

Lin Yanchao did not have any leisure time in the carriage. Until he noticed that the carriage had stopped, he raised the curtain to look at it, but he saw that he had arrived at Chaoyang Gate.

After a few months of separation, I came to the capital again, but I didn’t feel much better than the newlyweds.

The capital was still the same capital, with a peaceful and prosperous scene, but the situation in the world was not better than when he returned to Beijing two years ago, but it was worse.

After passing the checkpoint, Lin Yanchao's carriage still went to Shen Shixing's mansion.

After the teacher and student sat down, Shen Shixing asked with a smile: "Zonghai, what have you gained from being away from Beijing this time?"

Lin Yanchao said: "This time the student left Beijing and went there, mainly to buy land, and also experienced the people's sentiment."

Shen Shixing smiled and said, "I heard that you have bought a lot of land in Zhending Mansion!"

Lin Yanchao knew there was nothing to hide, so he said, "I bought two thousand acres of dry land."

Shen Shixing nodded and said, "I have bought a lot of land in my hometown to make food and clothing when I return to the old forest in the future. But you are still young, why do you have the desire to ask for land and ask for sacrificing your family?"

Lin Yanchao could not say that all the officials in the Ming Dynasty did this, so he could only smile and said, "What my teacher taught me is that the students are lazy."

Shen Shixing nodded, then asked seriously: "Zhending Mansion suffered a disaster last year. Are the people doing well now?"

Lin Yanchao also said seriously: "Reporting to my mentor, I will not hide it from it. If a mansion like Zhending suffers disaster and the situation will not be bad anymore. Fortunately, the local area has already started to provide relief when the students come."

Shen Shixingdao: "I am the same year as the governor of Baoding. Is this person still effective in governing the local area?"

Before Lin Yanchao left, Baoding Governor Lu He gave two thousand taels of silver, but he refused.

Now facing Shen Shixing, what does Lin Yanchao say: "This person is a fierce official, not a blessing for the people under his command, but he has the strengths of the commander-in-chief."

While listening, Shen Shixing took the paper from the desk, put on Western glasses, and wrote Lin Yanchao's comments on Lu He on the paper and folded it.

Lin Yanchao thought to himself that Shen Shixing was indeed old, and he would have just kept such a thing in his heart. If he looked carefully, Shen Shixing was indeed much older. The position of prime minister of the empire was said to be glorious, but it was also very laborious.

Then Shen Shixing asked again: "So what else can I get along the way?"

Lin Yanchao said: "Yes, it is not good for Zhending Mansion to suffer disaster, but there are no disasters along the way, and it is not good for him..."

Shin Shixing reached out and asked, "Not very good? How about the summer grain near Gyeonggi this year?"

Lin Yanchao said: "This is a good thing. The summer grains that students see along the way are almost harvested, and this year they should be able to have a good harvest."

Shen Shixing breathed a sigh of relief and put down his pen and said, "God blesses, and the emperor's grace is vast."

After a pause, Shen Shixing said, "You continue to say it."

Lin Yanchao said: "My teacher, what the students are talking about is not summer grain. When we walk on this road, the people are busy and busy with farming. The people are not unemployed, but the harder they work, the more they are, the more they are developed, and such a good harvest is still good. In the disaster year, apart from the court's relief, they can only escape famine and sell themselves as slaves, even if they are lucky."

"Last year, Wang'an, Qizhou Meitang, and Liu Ruguo have been in full swing. Although the civil unrest have been pacified by the court in these few times, it can be seen that the local people have suffered deeply. The current peace depends entirely on the foundation laid by the Second Patriarchs for three hundred years."

When Lin Yanchao said this, Shen Shixing frowned, but said, "Continue to say it."

Lin Yanchao said: "For ordinary people, if they don't want to be refugees, they can only be tied to the land. Farming is the only way out.

But what about the following? What if the disasters in the court are better than one day? After eating the food in the fields, why don’t people run away?”

"The Governor of Yunyang was established by the imperial court in the eighth year of Chenghua. The reason was that the refugees fled here in various provinces had reached one million. Finally, the Governor of the imperial court established this name as pacification and governance, but in fact they were taxed by the Qing dynasty..."

"For thousands of years, refugees, land annexation, and corruption in the administration have been believed to be the foundation of the cycle of governance and chaos. However, in Huizhou, although Su Yang was rich, he had a large population and a small land, it was not like this at all. This is what students cannot solve along the way."

Shen Shixing said with a serious expression: "I understand what you mean and know what you are going to do. But I can't do this and can't solve it, so I'll leave it to future generations!"

"...Let's talk about your resignation!"

Public first and then private, which is also the dialogue between Shen Shixing and Lin Yanchao.

Lin Yanchao said: "The student took the liberty and said that he was just a little unfamiliar with his knowledge when he quit. But the most important thing is that he does not understand His Majesty's intentions."

Shen Shixing nodded and said, "You are right to think so. This time you have a great contribution to the abolition of the Jing army. Even the young master of the Zhanshi Mansion is not enough to compensate. It is said that I owe you."

Lin Yanchao heard this and said, "Students...students were also reckless at the beginning..."

Shen Shixing said: "There are gains and losses. You will never give up until you achieve your goal. You will use it in your work and achieve everything. But if you take a step back, you will lose a lot of harmony."

"Mr., what I said."

Shen Shixing smiled and said, "But this appointment was recommended by me to the emperor. As for the emperor, I can only say

The holy will is unpredictable.”

"At the beginning of the year, I had asked His Majesty the eldest son to go out of the cabinet to study, but His Majesty said that the matter would be slower. It seems that this matter is probably delayed."

Lin Yanchao said: "My teacher, this matter..."

Shen Shixing said: "I know this and you are a little embarrassed. If you become the prince's assistant, you will be able to teach the crown prince carefully, which will be of great use for the moment. But in the long run, it is the safest. With your talent and virtue, you will definitely be a famous minister in Longqing, but there is no way in front of you. If you think about it carefully, this may be Your Majesty's intention!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yanchao hesitated.

"If you think about it, don't worry about it!" Shen Shixing picked up a book casually.

"Yes," Lin Yanchao stood up, thought for a while and asked again, "Can the mentor arrange for me to meet His Majesty?"

Shen Shixing was slightly surprised and then said, "It's very difficult. Your Majesty hasn't received any ministers for half a year."

Lin Yanchao smiled slightly, and the last time the emperor summoned him privately.

"Try it!"

After getting Shen Shixing's reply, Lin Yanchao left Shen Mansion.

When I left, it had already stopped heavy rain and it was getting heavier in an instant.

The heavy rainstorm covered the sky and made Lin Yanchao feel a little uncertain about his future, but then this mood was dispelled.

Zhan Ming took the rain to protect Lin Yanchao and protected him back to the carriage.

"Master, where are you going down there?"

"I won't go anywhere. Let's go home. How many chapters did you write last time the Soldiers wrote?"

Zhan Ming waited for Lin Yanchao to take his seat and said, "I was about to give the master a look, but I couldn't read a few words, and I don't know how to say them."

Lin Yanchao smiled and said, "Don't worry, I just have the skills to teach you slowly."

"Master, it's rare to see you have free time."

Lin Yanchao smiled and said, "It's not about being idle, but about finding things to do!"
