Chapter 402 Zhang Xu discusses politics

Zhang Xu felt that he was about to explode.

Seeing that Zhang Xu's emotions became more and more wrong, Zhu Zhen stopped saying those ugly words, but instead said, "Sir, since I am willing to convince me and make me surrender to Dayuan, then at least let me see the skills of Dayuan people?

You are a capable minister in Dayuan. If you can't even do a good job as a teacher here, then what's the point of going to Dayuan?

But if I have been trained by you, I have a lot of talents and let me see the ability of Dayuan, why should I have a wise ruler and not seek refuge?"

After listening to it, Zhang Xu felt that although Zhu Zhen’s words were provocative, they were not unreasonable.

At present, many people are just desperate about Dayuan.

He believes that Dayuan has become so bad from top to bottom. If he can be with Zhu Zhen, first, he can show him Dayuan's ability, second, he can influence him at least not make a decision to be sorry to Dayuan, or one day, he can change his confidence and join Dayuan.

Of course, there is the most important third point. The messenger who accompanied him did not get off the boat. He said that he would not let him go, and he would really not be able to leave.

At present, the monarch of Dayuan may not have the intention to let him go back. When he saw Zhu Yuanzhang before, he almost couldn't leave. After returning, his colleagues did not show any welcome. Later, Zhu Yuanzhang repeated the incident, and his colleagues took the opportunity to attack him with this matter, which made him quite ugly.

In fact, Zhang Xu himself was in great pain as an official in the Yuan Dynasty.

Seeing Zhang Xu pondering for a moment, Zhu Zhen continued, "And, as long as you don't teach others anything, I don't care what you teach your disciples to do. I will give you the highest degree of freedom. In addition to personal freedom, you can do whatever you want. If you want, you will give money, and if you want it, I will give it to the place."

Although Zhang Xu did not intend to move, he was quite moved.

Although I was nominally the Minister of Revenue in the Yuan Dynasty, I was not much different from the Secretary of Revenue who was made of paper. No one could command except the people in the Ministry of Revenue, and the government orders could not be released at all.

Even His Majesty the Emperor basically often ignores his political views and builds a small wooden cart when he has nothing to do with the treasury silver.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so stupid that he sent a minister of the Ministry of Revenue to be an envoy. He also hated that he often told him about frugality.

In his opinion, Zhu Zhen, as a traitor, was willing to give himself the highest degree of freedom, and this appreciation was really great.

You should know that although Zhu Zhen is the least powerful in Jiangnan countries, according to Zhang Xu's calculations, this person's financial resources, war ability, and herdsman ability are definitely the strongest.

Zhang Xu is also a human being. If he is a human being, he has his own demands.

Although the shackles of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism are on his body, what's wrong with doing something under the premise of loyalty to the emperor?

However, Zhang Xu is a person who has been polished in the officialdom for a long time. Although he is very grateful, his face is very calm. He doesn't want these southern figures to underestimate him.

So my heart was already relaxed, but my face still looked like I didn’t like you very much, and I hated you.

Zhang Xu said lightly: "How many scholars can there be in the small Huai'an province?

How much authority can I mobilize to teach and educate people?

My uncle should find another way out.”

Zhu Zhen smiled secretly in his heart.

It turns out that I want to be a bitch and establish a chastity arch.

Your scholars have dark hearts.

But Zhang Xu's name is really useful. Didn't you see that after Liu Bowen surrendered to Zhu Yuanzhang, many unsteady scholars in the southern country defected to Zhu Yuanzhang?

With Zhang Xu in charge, even those scholars who are known as Yuan people will definitely not be able to withstand loneliness and come to join their own.

If you want to ask for it, you have to give it.

Zhu Zhen smiled faintly and said, "The reason why Yuan Dynasty was able to win the world was not just by bows and horses. Zhang Yanghao also promoted the imperial examinations in the Yuan court. This is a great merit in the education of scholars.

Although I, Zhu Zhen, only have a province, if the children educated by my husband, I can also give them a chance to become an official.

Moreover, I am not a stingy person. Although Huai'an is a small province, I promise that I will invest a lot of money in the school. Moreover, scholars in Huai'an, Jiangnan can be able to support several provinces near Dadu."

After hearing this, Zhang Xu nodded and said, "Although the South is turbulent, it may not be a good deed if it can start education again.

What's wrong with me committing myself to you?

But you can't imagine getting a little strategy for governing the country from me. I am only responsible for education, and you are not allowed to interfere in their imperial examinations. Do they want to be an official with you or an official for the court? They have to listen to them voluntarily.

As long as you promise me this, I am willing to write a letter to my old friends in Dadu, let them come to Huai'an to teach and educate people together."

Zhang Xu's abacus was jingling. I would definitely not affect you Huai'an by myself, but I have many friends. I would find more virtuous and famous teachers to come to Huai'an together. At that time, I will convince all your scholars and even civil and military officials. At that time, you will not be able to join Dayuan.

I just don’t know when Zhang Xu knew that if these old friends came to Huai'an, they would still be meat buns and dogs and never return. I don’t know what they felt.

The two of them benefited from each other and each took the needs, and the atmosphere between the table became better and better.

Zhang Xu was in a good mood and found a place to do things. He could teach and educate people as he pleased and spread his influence. Zhu Zhen also respected him very much, much better than the emperor who used a plane to gesture with him, so Zhang Xu made an exception and drank two glasses of Huadiao wine with Zhu Zhen.

After drinking a few cups, Zhang Xu saw the poem written by Liu Bowen in the main hall that worries the world before, and then enjoy the world after, and praised him very much: "Boye is indeed very different from the heroes of the southern country in the past."

Yang Xun, who was drinking, immediately said: "Sir, I discussed with Bo Ye's way of becoming an official. Bo Ye said that the honest officials who are righteous but hard to achieve, and the corrupt officials who are selfish but selfish but can seek welfare for the people. Students are not sure which one is more beneficial to the people. Please help the people."

Zhang Xu looked at Zhu Zhen in surprise. Unexpectedly, they were discussing such profound strategies for governing the country in private. This boy asked himself this way, not because he didn't know the answer, but because he wanted to see the skills of his minister from the north. He immediately said to Yang Xun: "If you talk about the way of governing the world, I may not be able to compare with Bo Ye, but if you talk about the high-level view, I have been in the court for many years and have some insights.

In this world, there is no absolute good or bad in nature. If an upright official has no ability, he may not be able to do good things, and a corrupt official may not only do bad things. All this depends on what he wants and what means he uses. Therefore, the ancients said that the doctrine of the mean is the truth.

It doesn’t matter whether it’s good or bad, it depends on whether the road is moving forward.”

Zhu Zhen and Yang Xun were instantly full of respect for Zhang Xu. What this adult said was indeed as he said, high-level and thought-provoking.
