Ming politicians

() On December [-]th, the first batch of recruited sergeants arrived in Jiangning County on time, accompanied by a small number of family members.Jiangning County and Jiangning Camp have already made preparations. The size of the military camp has doubled. Not far from the military camp, a lot of temporary residences have been built, densely distributed around.

What is amazing is that Wan Chenggui and many merchants from the chamber of commerce have already negotiated and opened some shops nearby. They already know that a large number of sergeants and their families will arrive in Jiangning County. Good business opportunity, can expand the scale of operation.

Su Tiancheng wouldn't worry about military camp training. After handing over the first batch of [-] soldiers to Sun Chuanting, he specially introduced Sun Enming, Sun Enzong, Lu Taibing, and Lu Taibo. The performance of the four along the way, as well as related arrangements, told Sun Chuanting.

The specific arrangements and training are Sun Chuanting's business.

Back at the county government office, he went straight to the backyard.

Just after entering the door, Zhu Shenxin walked up to Su Tiancheng quickly with red eyes, and threw herself into Su Tiancheng's arms regardless of whether there were people around.

Su Tiancheng felt that Zhu Shenxin's body was trembling slightly.

After a while, Zhu Shenxin calmed down. <Ping, Wang Furong and Liu Rushi were all waiting in the wing room. Before Su Tiancheng could speak, Zhu Shenxin spoke first.

"Husband, don't take risks in the future. I can't eat, I can't sleep well, and I worry every day."

Su Tiancheng was a little strange.

"What's the matter. I didn't do anything risky."

"Don't say that, my husband, I know. Those Tartars are extremely cruel. If you meet your husband in the future, don't take risks. If something happens to your husband, what will you do?"

It turned out to be this incident. It seems that Jiangning County has already spread the news about Jiangning's annihilation of the Eight Banners Army in Manchuria.Since this is the case, it means that the reputation of the Jiangning camp is already great. No wonder Sun Chuanting's eyes were a little different when he went to the barracks just now, revealing confidence and pride.

"Hehe. So this is the matter. You guys are overthinking. The Tartars are not three-headed and six-armed. It's nothing special. In the future, if they meet the soldiers of the Jiangning Camp, they will be wiped out. Besides, I didn't go to the battlefield. Ah, compared to the soldiers of the Jiangning Battalion, I am far behind. I can't fight the enemy."

"No, my husband must agree to this concubine. I know that my husband does not need to go to battle in person. The soldiers of the Jiangning battalion are so tough. My husband is the supervisor of the army, and the main task is to take command from the town. If it is the Jiangning battalion, I need my husband to go to battle in person. A concubine is definitely not to follow."

Su Tiancheng nodded helplessly. This kind of thing can't be confronted, and it can't be reasonable. She is your wife, who doesn't worry about her husband? Besides, my identity is indeed different Now, if you hold a steel knife and rush to the front to kill the enemy, it's really not easy to explain.

Seeing Su Tiancheng nodding, Zhu Shenxin finally smiled.

Sun Chengzong also arrived in Jiangning County.

The residence of Sun Chengzong and Lu Shanji was arranged in the county school. There is a separate courtyard here, which is specially prepared for the teachers of the county school, and the conditions are very good.

Su Tiancheng took the officials of the county government to meet Sun Chengzong outside the city.

Not only Su Tiancheng, but Wang Daozhi, Yin Tianfu's prefect, also came to Jiangning County to welcome Sun Chengzong.

Sun Chengzong's reputation is too great.

Seeing Wang Daozhi, Su Tiancheng and others, Sun Chengzong was very happy. Although he had traveled all the way, his spirit was still very good, and his voice was loud and clear, which concealed his fatigue.

The county government arranged a special banquet at the Four Seas Restaurant. What Su Tiancheng meant was to ask Sun Enming and Sun Enzong to also attend. Sun Chengzong immediately said no. When the two arrived at the Jiangning Camp, they were the sergeants of the Jiangning Camp. Follow the rules, he has basically understood the many rules and regulations of the Jiangning camp along the way, and while admiring him, he has also made up his mind to send more descendants to enter the Jiangning camp after he settles down.

Wang Daozhi also attended the banquet.

In front of Sun Chengzong, he is also a junior. When Sun Chengzong was the Minister of the Ministry of War, he was still the head of the Ministry of War. Speaking of which, Sun Chengzong was his old superior.

While drinking, Wang Daozhi specifically asked whether the residences of Su Tiancheng, Sun Chengzong and Lu Shanji had been arranged, and if the conditions were not good, Ying Tianfu would come to find a way to arrange a better residence, and whether the living arrangements were in place up.

In fact, the family members of Sun Chengzong and Lu Shanji had already settled down. After returning to the county government, Su Tiancheng specifically asked Lu Tianming and Liu Yunqing if all the arrangements were in place, and the answer he got was yes.

In name it was eating, but in fact what everyone cared about was the establishment of Zhongxing Academy.

The emperor has already issued an order to Nanjing Six Ministries and Yingtianfu to fully support the Zhongxing Academy. The three leaders of the academy, Sun Chengzong, Lu Shanji and Huang Daozhou, are all famous figures. They will set up the academy. There should be something wrong.

Therefore, during the meal, Wang Daozhi was very concerned about the affairs of the Zhongxing Academy, and it was this matter that he talked about the most.

Wang Daozhi's understanding also has a process of transformation. He is clear about the disputes between Su Tiancheng and Donglin Academy and Fushe. In some respects, it is difficult for him to understand for a while. However, the huge changes in Jiangning County are vivid. Facts made him realize that such an approach is definitely feasible. If the Zhongxing Academy is established, Yingtianfu will be affected first, and the counties under the jurisdiction of Yingtianfu will all be able to experience huge disasters like Jiangning County. Change, that is a huge political achievement.

Liu Yunqing reported the preparations for the Zhongxing Academy in great detail. The location of the academy is in the county school, which is very large and there are not many students on weekdays. The residences of Sun Chengzong, Lu Shanji, and Huang Daozhou are all arranged Here, a house has been specially vacated as a place to meet and gather.

The county government is responsible for all the funds of the Zhongxing Academy, and plans to take out 20 taels of silver every year, including the salaries of Sun Chengzong, Lu Shanji, and Zodiac Zhou. The initial plan is 1 taels of silver per person per year.

The Zhongxing Academy recruits 30 people, who are responsible for taking care of all the specific daily affairs. If you want to enter the Zhongxing Academy, you must at least have a status of Juren or above. Of course, particularly outstanding students are also allowed.

After Liu Yunqing finished speaking, before everyone could open their mouths, Sun Chengzong spoke first. He meant that the salary of 1 taels per year was too much to do like this. His own salary should be paid according to the level of county government officials.

Unexpectedly, Wang Dao opened his mouth with a smile on his face, saying that the arrangement of the county government is very good. He specially explained that the servants of the county government in Jiangning County are given a subsidy of 500 taels of silver every year, and the rest are government officials, salary and regular silver. It's all several thousand taels of silver, so Mr. Sun's salary is not high.

What Wang Daozhi said made Sun Chengzong dumbfounded. He couldn't believe that Jiangning County was so rich.

With such an income, I am afraid that the prefectures and counties of the Ming Dynasty are beyond the reach.

Su Tiancheng went on to speak, saying that all of this had been determined long ago. Liu Yunqing was in charge of the daily affairs of the Zhongxing Academy, and Liu Yunqing had a heavy responsibility. , often ask questions, on the one hand, we must worry about the normal operation of the society, and more importantly, publicize the views of the Zhongxing Society, so that the society can operate normally and exert the greatest influence.

Speaking of this, Liu Yunqing stood up, bowed to Sun Chengzong, and admitted that he used to be one of the four sons of Donglin in Nanjing City, but he didn't quite agree with some of the views of Donglin Academy, so he said that he broke away from Donglin Academy. Lin Shuyuan defected to Mr. Su's side, and wanted to learn more from Mr. Sun in the future.

Both Sun Chengzong and Wang Daozhi had meaningful smiles on their faces.

They all knew why Su Tiancheng made such an arrangement and Liu Yunqing's attitude was the biggest blow to Donglin Academy and Fushe. After the establishment of Zhongxing Academy, the first task was to divide and disintegrate Donglin Academy and Fushe.

Among the imperial court, some ministers supported Donglin Academy and Fushe, and some even came from Donglin Academy and Fushe. From this point of view, the mission of Zhongxing Academy is still extraordinary.

But the favorable conditions are also clear. The influence of Sun Chengzong, Lu Shanji, and Zodiac on Wednesday is extraordinary. Coupled with proper operation and sufficient funding, once the Zhongxing Society is established, there must be most of the scholars, Gentlemen and rich families came to join, and Zhongxing Academy, with an official taste, has outstanding performance in it, and can even directly enter the imperial court and become an official of the imperial court.

Su Tiancheng was caught off guard by Fan Jingwen's sudden arrival at Four Seas Restaurant.

What Su Tiancheng was even more unaware of was that the relationship between Fan Jingwen and Sun Chengzong was very good. When they were officials in the same dynasty, they admired each other. Moreover, Sun Chengzong once strongly recommended Fan Jingwen.

Of course Fan Jingwen knew what Sun Chengzong was doing in Nanjing.

After exchanging pleasantries and drinking a few glasses of wine, Fan Jingwen proposed that the Ministry of Household Affairs in Nanjing paid 5 taels of silver to the Zhongxing Institute every year, which can be regarded as a contribution.

Just after Fan Jingwen finished speaking, Wang Daozhi also spoke, saying that it was for Zhongxing Academy to settle the 1 taels of silver.

Sun Chengzong was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth. The sudden increase of 6 taels of silver could also save some funds for Jiangning County. After all, Jiangning Camp needs a lot of silver.

While Su Tiancheng was happy, he was also a little surprised. To his surprise, Fan Jingwen came to the Four Seas Restaurant and stated that he had settled the funds. There was a deep meaning in it, and the specific reason would be known in a short time.

However, this is always a good thing, and it indicates that Zhongxing Academy will soon prosper.
