Ming politicians

() Zhu Youjian approved most of his requests, and he was very forthright. Zhu Youjian even couldn't wait to ask him to come to the stable. Fortunately, Wang Chengen suggested that it was Mr. Su who was temporarily In Fuzhou County, more things can be done to increase the income of the imperial court. The situation of the treasury is still not very good. Although there are some silver taels, the expenditure is too large. It will definitely not work without increasing the channels of taxation. .

Under such circumstances, Zhu Youjian came to his senses and did not insist on his own opinions.

Zhu Youjian agrees with Jiangning County Shipping Department's move. The City Shipping Department has handed over 50 taels of silver to the treasury. This is not a small income. A small Jiangning County Shipping Department can earn With so much silver, if Su Tiancheng was allowed to continue working in Fuzhou County, wouldn't he be able to earn more silver taels? With silver, many things would be much easier to handle.

Of course, Su Tiancheng's suggestion to renovate the Yellow River and the Huaihe River made Zhu Youjian hesitate. After all, renovating the river would require a lot of silver, which the court could not afford for the time being.

Regarding the establishment of the academy, Zhu Youjian felt that there was a conflict with the Imperial College. After listening to Su Tiancheng's detailed explanation, he felt that it was indeed necessary. The students who could enter the Imperial College all had good status. It can only accommodate so many supervising students, if the school is run well.Being able to unite the world's scholars to the greatest extent can in turn affect the Guozijian.That is killing two birds with one stone.

In addition to being happy, Zhu Youjian personally chose a name for the society, calling it "Zhongxing Society".

Zhu Youjian would not have imagined that this academy would play a pivotal role in the history of the Ming Dynasty, so that most of the ministers in the court came from this academy.The officials of the imperial court are all proud of their children being able to enter the Zhongxing Academy.

The main function of the academy is to discuss learning and discuss government affairs. In the Zhongxing Academy, everyone can speak freely and put forward their own understanding and viewpoints.The person in charge of the society integrates everyone's opinions, puts forward opinions and opinions, and finally unifies everyone's understanding, and presents it to the court.

In this way, the society has actually become an important staff organization, which can grasp the true thoughts of scholars all over the world.Let their opinions have a place to confide, and the court can adopt the opinions according to the actual situation.

Su Tiancheng proposed, the person in charge of the society.For Sun Chengzong and Huang Daozhou, Zhu Youjian did not hesitate.When he was about to order Sun Chengzong and Huang Daozhou to come directly to the stable, Su Tiancheng quickly suggested that it was better to visit by himself.

Su Tiancheng returned to the official post and immediately started to prepare.

When he came to the stables this time, he brought a hundred soldiers from the Jiangning Battalion, led by Liu Tiehan.

These one hundred soldiers are all sergeants from the scout battalion.

These people should also follow him to Baoding. After all, if you go to the north, there is a big problem with the safety factor. Hou Jin often harassed these places without anyone noticing.

Sun Chengzong is a native of Gaoyang County, Baoding Prefecture. Gaoyang County is more than three hundred miles away from the stables, to the east of Baoding Prefecture.

Starting from the stables, we can go to Gaoyang County in just two days.

Before leaving, Su Tiancheng thought a lot.

Sun Chengzong's reputation is very great. He was the second place in the Wanli period. When he was the supervisor of Liaodong, he made many achievements. The most important contribution was that after several years of hard work, he arranged a solid defense line of Guan Ningjin, from Shanhaiguan to Ningyuan. Jinzhou has become an insurmountable obstacle for the post-Golden Cavalry. From Nurhachi to Huang Taiji, they have never been able to break through this line of defense.

This line of defense not only protected Shanhaiguan from attack, but also basically stabilized the situation in the Liaoxi Corridor.

When Sun Chengzong supervised Liaodong, he used a large number of loyal civil and military generals. In addition, he was the teacher of Mingxi Zong Zhu Youxiao. Therefore, the prestige in the court was very high. Even Wei Zhongxian had power over the court. At that time, they all wanted to win over Sun Chengzong.

But Sun Chengzong's official career was also difficult. At the age of 42, he was ranked second in high school and was awarded the editorship of the Imperial Academy. He had been in the Imperial Academy for ten years. Rank, mainly to teach the prince to read.

In 1620, Zhu Youxiao ascended the throne. At this time, Sun Chengzong was 58 years old.

In 1622, Sun Chengzong became Minister of the Ministry of War and concurrently served as a bachelor of the Dongge University. At this time, he ushered in the peak moment.

Unfortunately, because of Wei Zhongxian's monopoly, in 1625, Sun Chengzong resigned and returned home.

In 1629, that is, the second year of Chongzhen, the official was restored to his original position. With his original official position, he was appointed as a young teacher, a prince and a grand teacher, a minister of the official department, and a bachelor of the middle hall. He was ordered to go to Shanhaiguan to supervise military affairs.

In November of the fourth year of Chongzhen, due to the defeat of the Daling River and the disputes among the court, Sun Chengzong took the initiative to take responsibility, resigned and returned to his hometown. In this year, Sun Chengzong was already 69 years old.

In the sixth year of Chongzhen, Sun Chengzong was already 71 years old.

Seventy years of life is rare, and Sun Chengzong has experienced too much in his life. Facing such an elder, Su Tiancheng dared not slack off a bit.

There is no doubt that Sun Chengzong's appointment as the head of the Zhongxing Academy must have a huge appeal, and there is no doubt about it, and the emperor also has a will to invite Sun Chengzong to take office.

But the problem still exists. Baoding is far away from Nanjing, and people miss their hometown when they get old. As the saying goes, leaves fall and return to their roots. A 71-year-old man has traveled thousands of miles to go to Nanjing. Isn’t it a bit unreasonable? .

Zhu Youjian can ignore this issue, but Su Tiancheng has to.

He was not very familiar with Sun Chengzong's disposition. According to his plan, Sun Chengzong could take his family and rush to Nanjing without so many taboos.

The Zhongxing Institute must be established in Nanjiu, and other places are not acceptable, and its influence is too small. This is also determined by the unique environment of the Ming Dynasty.

The south is a place where scholars are very concentrated, and the level of students in the south is generally higher than that in the north. In terms of wealth, the north is far inferior to the south. Therefore, the establishment of the Zhongxing Academy in the north is a Choices that don't exist.

It is even more impossible to set up a society in the stables. There are too many officials in the stables. The society will inevitably be subject to many constraints. With too strong official color, it will receive a lot of criticism. Such superficial efforts still need to be done. of.

Based on these circumstances, Sun Chengzong must go to Nanjing.

Along the way, Su Tiancheng was thinking about these issues. Although he was speeding up his horse, when he arrived at Gaoyang County, Su Tiancheng still didn't make a hasty visit. Instead, he found an inn in the county and stayed temporarily.

Nor did he bother the local authorities.

Sun Chengzong was very enthusiastic about the construction of his hometown. He once specially revised the county annals of Gaoyang and made a preface. He also paid attention to supporting Nongsang and caring about the suffering of the people. Officials in Gaoyang County and even Baoding Prefecture respected him very much. of.

To put it bluntly, Sun Chengzong's family belongs to the largest prominent family in Baoding Prefecture and Gaoyang County.

This situation made Su Tiancheng even more worried.

Su Tiancheng came to Gaoyang County with a hundred cavalry, and it is unlikely that he wanted to remain unknown.

In the Gaoyang area, although they seldom encounter harassment from Houjin, the common people here are well aware of the toughness and cruelty of the Houjin cavalry, and they are very vigilant.

The county government soon found out the whereabouts of Su Tiancheng and his party.

When the history of Gaoyang County came to visit with sergeants from the inspection department, Su Tiancheng felt it was funny. It seems that the magistrates in the capital area are not small, so he brought a hundred soldiers to Gaoyang County , The posture is not ordinary, and being able to put on such a posture shows that the identity is also unusual. It is said that the magistrate should come forward, but the one who came to the inn was actually Dian Shi.

After chatting for a few words, Dian Shi was shocked when he knew Su Tiancheng's identity, and repeatedly said that he was offended.

Su Tiancheng was a little strange, he didn't know why Dian Shi had such a reaction, he was supposed to be the magistrate of Jiangning County, so far away from Baoding, it was impossible for him to be famous, could it be that Dian Shi doubted his identity before he came.

Soon, the county magistrate of Gaoyang County rushed over, and after entering the inn, he kept saying that there were too many things to do with the county government, and there was no time to receive them, so Su Tiancheng must live in the official inn, but Su Tiancheng politely declined, saying that he had brought it by himself. There are too many people and horses, and it is very embarrassing to increase the burden on the county government.

In the process of chatting with the magistrate, Su Tiancheng found out that he was very famous in Beizhili.

The main thing is the deeds of witty cutting without sticking to the mud, capturing Zijinliang alive, and exterminating Lao Huihui. The rogues are at hand.

Su Tiancheng couldn't help but smile wryly, how could he have such a great ability, no wonder the old man had to find himself last time, and tried every means to destroy himself, so the root cause is here, with the vigorous publicity of the people, the leader of the rogues must not be convinced Yes, you have to deal with yourself in every possible way. If you kill yourself, wouldn't the rogue be famous.

The magistrate of Gaoyang County learned that Su Tiancheng was here to visit Sun Chengzong, with an expression of reverence on his face. Although Sun Chengzong resigned from office, his title is still there. Zhu Youxiao's teacher, everyone knows this level of glory. In Gaoyang County, when it comes to Sun Chengzong, everyone's face will show a look of admiration.

Su Tiancheng murmured even more in his heart. With such high prestige in Baoding, Sun Chengzong would refuse to go to the south stable. sir.
