Chapter 133: Characters and Material Evidence

The so-called “Literature Dacheng” is in fact the famous “Yongle Dacheng” of later times.

Zhu Di is still very understanding of the readers, he is not the right position, so the first thing to do after the throne is to repair the book.

The so-called book repair is to collect the best books in the world to make a big dictionary.

This is extremely attractive to many great scholars!

Think about it, if your book can be included in the canon, won’t you fulfill the ultimate dream of writing to the world?

For readers, it’s a feast.

But for Zhu Di, it is equal to his means of manipulating the readers! Those who don’t listen must not even think about it, and only those who listen will give you a chance.

And once the book was repaired, it meant that a large number of Confucian students were needed to organize and transcribe the collection. These people can all have official positions, which is equivalent to giving many readers an official body.

Repairing books is the highest achievement for the readers, plus there is an official body.

Thus, in terms of the emperor’s mind, don’t look at Zhu Di’s appearance of brashness, moving to make attempts on other people’s mothers.

But somehow, it holds these readers in check.

Zhu Di in the spirit of thrift and frugality, let Zhang Anshi directly go to the “literature Dacheng” to copy the book, Zhang Anshi naturally can not help but be delighted.

Keep in mind that the quality in the Literature Dachen is much higher and there is a large number of annotations by the current Hanlin and great scholars, which is a new selling point for the library.

So Zhang Anshi happily looked at Zhu Di and said, “Many thanks, Your Majesty.”

Zhu Di also do not mince words of praise: “I thought, you are only proficient in the economic talent, who also know, you actually know how to govern! This governance is two words, but it is not easy ah! You this method, is another way, very good! I really envy the Prince, actually have you such a right-hand man.”

Zhang Anshi then hastened to say, “Your Majesty, I am also Your Majesty’s right-hand man, and the Crown Prince is merely my brother-in-law.”

Zhu Di smiled, he naturally know, this Zhang Anshi is almost considered Zhu Gaoqi raised adults, not to mention Zhang Anshi’s father died early, although the crown prince is a brother-in-law, in fact, but as Zhang Anshi’s father.

Zhu Di did not continue to this head deeper, but said, “You are to recruit readers, then do your best to use your life, do a good job, do not give me shame.”

Said, and Zhang Anshi together out of the study, then see a small building in the door, Zhu Di can not help but be surprised to say: “there how such a cold?”

Zhang Anshi said, “There are books of miscellaneous studies there, such as the Nine Chapters of Arithmetic, medicine, engineering, agriculture, and so on, all of which I have searched for with great effort.”

Zhu Di said with a regretful face, “It’s understandable that readers don’t like to read these books, but it’s a pity that they take up space for nothing.”

Zhang Anshi said very seriously, “Your Majesty, whether they like it or not is their business, but in this world, there will always be people who like it. The books I have here are all-encompassing, including the scriptures and the Four Books and Five Classics, as well as many historical books. But in my opinion, this miscellaneous studies, the same is a great knowledge, is truly able to support the world and benefit the people.”

Zhu Di smiled and said, “You make up your own mind, I’ll let you hold down the fort here, and I won’t intervene in what happens here.”

At this time, Zhu Di’s words turned and said, “Zhu Yong a few?”

“It’s leading the troops.”

“A few dolls, this is the time to follow their fathers and brothers and learn from them, leading a bird army.” Zhu Di muttered, “Where is this soldier of yours? I’ll go and take a look before I swing back to the palace.”

Zhang Anshi then went out of the library with Zhu.

How could I have known that the outside of this library was also crowded with people, and many people wanted to come in after hearing about the countless volumes here.

Not to mention the fact that today is free, so there are even more people who are itching for more.

Unfortunately, the inside was already overcrowded, and the people guarding the door wouldn’t let them in, so they made a scene.

The value of books in this day and age is evident.

Zhu ignored these people and called for a horse to be brought in, so he rolled over and mounted.

Zhang Anshi and Xu Huizu were at the back, and someone had also demanded horses for them.

Zhang Anshi then took this opportunity to say to Xu Huizu, “Duke Wei has worked hard, hasn’t he?”

Xu Huizu looked deeply at Zhang Anshi and smiled slightly, “You kid is good, better than some people.”

Zhang Anshi curiously said, “Ah …… certain people, little nephew still want to give advice, this certain people ……”

Xu Huizu said: “There is such a place for people to study, no forced prostitution, there is no crooked way, this is a man in the world to walk the right way. Outside are rumored that you many gossip, you do not take to heart, more do not learn with some people crooked, a man in the world, some do, some do not do, these reasons to say, you may feel long-winded, but there is always a use.”

Zhang Anshi said, “Be taught.”

When he said that, the two of them looked at each other and smiled at each other.

This is the current state uncle, and he, Zhang Anshi, is the future state uncle, which should be considered as the old leading the new, with a legacy.

Zhu had already gone ahead, and the two of them also hurriedly mounted their horses, and traveled all the way at a brisk pace, and soon, the camp arrived.

Zhu rode into camp.

Then I saw this large schoolyard, in which the people are wearing fish scale armor, holding a wooden stick in their hands, and under this scorching sun, five hundred people stood in unison and did not move at all.

Zhu Yong, Zhang Yoking, and Gu Xingzu were also heavily armed and stood right at the front of the group.

Zhu Di walked like a horse to see, sank his eyebrows, did not say anything, and then rushed up to Xu Huizu said, “How do you think?”

Xu Huizu said, “Not bad.”

Zhu Di a arrogant face, this time, is indeed Zhu Di worthy of pride, after all, the commander of the army for decades, almost no defeat, to have today’s people.

Zhu Di said, “It looks majestic, one standing with a stake, but …… what is the difference between this and the great Han generals in the palace? But it is just a standing column, the real elite soldiers, are crawling out from the pile of dead people, that is the tiger and wolf! These boys, still tender.”

Xu Huizu nodded.

And that’s the truth.

In Zhu Di’s inherent experience, soldiers are killed in a big battle, and at this time, the Ming army, the reason why the pursuit of the north, a hundred battles, also does have its capital.

From the beginning of Emperor Taizu’s high army, countless people have followed Emperor Taizu in his thousands of miles of battles, fighting all over the place, and the vast majority of them have died, while the ones that remain, which one of them isn’t an elite soldier and a strong general?

When the era of Emperor Taizu’s high emperors passed, the remaining of these military generals and elite soldiers still still bear the responsibility of fighting the remnants of Northern Yuan year after year. Coupled with the Battle of Jingnan, those elite soldiers who climbed out of the pile of dead people, in Zhu Di’s mind, is the capital of the Great Ming proud of the world.

As for these childish guys in front of me, just by standing like the forbidden guards, looking at some appearance, but for Zhu Di, but also just so.

So …… well, lo and behold.

Zhang Anshi since he understood the meaning in Zhu Di’s eyes, then said, “Your Majesty, this is not true, I thought, the real elite soldiers, lies in the discipline, with discipline, will be able to be like an arm.”

Zhu Di laughed: “can have this look, also not easy. You guys …… in the future if you really want to learn this will be the way of the soldiers, when I go out to the desert north, let you do me under the account of the soldiers, teach you to see with your own eyes, how the real elite soldiers, and so on to learn for a few years, and then let you lead an army alone, will be able to be like Zhang Fu, can be unique. ”

Zhang Anshi didn’t get a very high evaluation, which made Zhang Anshi a bit speechless, but he didn’t say much.

Want to see are finished, Zhu Di said: “I should drive back to the palace, the library, I will give Xie Jin and Yao Guangxiao account, you let people to transcribe can.”

After saying that, without any further delay, he and Xu Huizu beat their horses and returned.

On the way back, Zhu Di is pondering, and Xu Huizu likewise has his own mind.

“Xu Qing, you’re thinking about Jing Yi again, aren’t you.”

Xu Huizu said, “No, I am thinking …… Zhang Anshi is really unconventional and a wizard.”

Zhu laughed, “It’s not even thinking about your son-in-law!”

Xu Huizu only smiled and didn’t say anything.

He knows very well that he will be taken by Zhu at this time, but he will be taken by Zhu at any time he picks up.

Having grown up together as partners, he knew Zhu’s temperament too well.

Zhu Di was quite chagrined when he saw that Xu Hui Zu didn’t take the bait.

On the contrary, on the road, see dozens of riding whistling past, along the way a stall was that riding people knocked away, suddenly guarding the melon stall of the old woman howling.

Instead, the riders on those dozens of horses laughed and flew away.

When Zhu Di saw this, he was furious, and his horse whip pointed straight at the far away rider: “What are these people, also lost ha …… up to come.”

Also lost hastily walked forward, to Zhu Di s horse said, “Your Majesty, these are the Tianze Wei …….”

Zhu Di laughed coldly, “The forbidden guards should be in the camp, why do they go around and nuisance the people?”

Also Lost Ha said, “Your Majesty, the Heavenly Policy Guards have been redeployed to the Han King’s residence, under the control of the Han King, as to why this is so, the slave girl …… slave girl …… needs to go and enquire about it.”

When Zhu Di heard this, his heart became even angrier.

Xu Huizu, however, is not surprised at all, that nephew of his, he understands too well, when he was still just a prince, this nephew dared to steal his uncle’s horse, and heard that, when returning to Beiping from Nanking, this Zhu Gaoxu also killed quite a number of officials and citizens along the way, and there was a Zhuozhou’s post minister, just because of upsetting him, he was killed by him directly.

At that time, Zhu Gaoxu was just the prince of the King of Yan, and now that his father has become the Emperor of Daming, this domineering is even more predictable.

Xu Huizu said with a serious expression, “Indulging one’s son will only make one’s son even more domineering, to the point of being unmanageable.”

Zhu Di listen to the string outside the voice, but showed the color of pain, and want to attack scolding, but found that even if you want to scold, may be the last most should be scolded is also their own.

Then he said hatefully, “Take some silver and give it to the old crone.”

Yisroelha heard this and went away in haste.

After this incident, Zhu Di was sullen the rest of the way.

He painfully said to Xu Huizu: “I have three sons, the eldest son is quite stable, but I worry that he is not good. The second son is domineering, but after all, he has made great achievements in the war, I really can not bear it. The youngest son Zhu Gao Suire, now has been vassal, is out of sight, out of mind. But this kid …… is not a good bird, a belly of bad water it. But in any case, they are my son ah.”

Said, the face of a bitter smile, and then said: “I certainly know what you say makes sense, I also repeatedly want to strictly order the King of Han on the clan, lay off his guards, and ruthlessly knock him, but when it comes to the end of the matter, and in the heart. You know me, I this person …… although also kill people, but the bloodline human feelings …… I always hesitate, quite a woman’s attitude.”

Xu Huizu sighed and said, “Let’s hope King Han understands His Majesty’s bitterness.”

Neither of the two were in high spirits, and the rest of the journey was wordless, all the way.

……

At that moment, Levinson entered the library.

He came alone.

Unlike other readers, he was from an average family and thus rarely hung out with other readers.

To him, it was already smoke from his ancestors’ graves and a great deal of luck for him to have won the Candidate of the Xiu Cai.

Just this time to Beijing to participate in the township examination in southern Zhili, the list has been released, the name fell.

Li Wensheng is undoubtedly painful, he knows in his heart that his imperial examination may have been hopeless, and he is a Xiucai …… and other family big readers compared to, but also seem out of place.

He intends to live in Nanjing for a few more days, then prepare to return to his hometown, and then run the family’s several acres of land, really not, and then seek other ways out.

He came to this library, also heard that there is a world collection of books here, countless books, countless books, for him and other children of the humble family, the only books that he can find a way to see, is only the four books and the five sutras, therefore, he rushed here in a hurry, to see that the head of the overcrowded, can not help but be staggered.

Almost all of the small buildings were filled with people, and he was all alone, as if Liu Lou Lou had entered the Grand View Garden, looking a little timid.

Just then, he stopped violently and saw that there was a small building, empty, with only a handful of people reading there.

Li Wensheng froze, looking at those other small buildings that had long been occupied by crowds of people, he then walked in towards the smaller, emptier building.

Only a dozen or so shelves were seen here in an orderly fashion, filled to the brim with books.

There were the studies of medicine, yin and yang, alchemy, astronomy, geomancy, and arts and crafts.

And it’s all labeled at the top.

The few readers who came in read a little more about medicine and yin and yang.

But Li Wensheng’s eyes were fixed straight on a row of bookshelves.

Among the rows of bookshelves were about medicine, mostly remedies.

After walking around and looking at it, Li Wensheng eventually took out a book curiously.

The book is interestingly titled: “Plague Control and Handling.”

Levinson was confused.

Plague?

Isn’t this a plague of disasters? Can this be prevented?

He remembered …… that his own great ancestor died in a plague, and thus subconsciously took this book.

A look at the inscription under the book, by Zhang Anshi.

Zhang Anshi ……

Sounds familiar ……

Li Wensheng because of the usual family poverty, so this time to Beijing to test the lift, is also a single shadow. He has nothing to learn from his family, all depends on hard work, just hard work can make him in the Xiu Cai, to the lifer here …… is not able to rely on hard work to solve the problem.

Therefore, he had only vaguely heard the name of Zhang Anshi, but who Zhang Anshi really was, on the contrary, he did not know.

With curiosity, he opened the book, but found that the way it was written was different from other medical books, and it actually talked about the principles of the plague, and then talked about all kinds of prevention and treatment.

Li Wensheng only found it very novel, so he watched it intently.

Time passed quickly, and when he lifted his eyes from the book, he found …… that he had been reading the book for more than an hour.

This made him feel some regret in his heart, he originally wanted to come to find some set of notes on the Four Books and Five Classics, who would have expected that time was spent on such useless books.

Then he shook his head bitterly and put the book back.

Then he walked out of the small building.

But it happens to be a few readers and he rubbed shoulders, these people seem to see Li Wensheng walked out of the miscellaneous school of the small building, then someone whispered: “uneducated, sidetracked …… haha …… ”

Another person said, “Reading such idle books is self-indulgent, we still need to learn more from the saints and the right way is important, if not, how can we win the gold medal in the future, rule the country and save the people from the fire?”

A few people spoke up.

These words were softly spoken, yet they were still heard by Levinson.

Li Wensheng immediately felt his ears redden to the roots of his ears, and he was greatly ashamed in his heart.

Li Wensheng ah Li Wensheng, you deserve to be a scholar ah, such a good opportunity, but here in the waste of time, no wonder you can not high school. No wonder you can’t get into high school. After that, I’m afraid you’ll never get into high school, so go back to your hometown and work in the countryside.

He thought of this heart is even more inferior, think of their own poor family, but his parents in order to let him study, hard work, sold a good few acres of land at home, and now although there is a scholar’s title, but from the real lifts and the scholar is a thousand miles away.

Nowadays, they are still immersed in miscellaneous books, and they are really ashamed of their parents.

He looked flustered and despondent, and hurried away.

………………

There was only one man in this camp who was authorized not to take part in the drills.

That would be Chuson.

After countless explosions and rich experience, Qiu Song and a few smiths, according to Zhang Anshi s requirements, finally researched a …… grenade.

Yes …… a thing that can be held in the hand and thrown with a fair amount of power, about the size of the palm of your hand and weighing four pounds.

Most importantly, detonation is easy!

This made Qusong raise his eyebrows all of a sudden, and even when he flung his nose, he did so horizontally.

Zhang Anshi had seen it roughly and found it effective, and immediately let the craftsmen produce the supply with full force.

This era also does not exist in large-scale mass production, relying entirely on the craftsmen hand rubbed out, sometimes Zhang Anshi feel a little unreliable, these guys …… if the rubbing is not right, will not kill people.

Good thing, there’s Chuson.

Qiu Song is a more serious person, he knows the gunpowder like the back of his hand, at this time, he is like the supervisor, but whenever this firearm is not up to par, he is bound to be furious.

A smith, because of cutting corners, had already been stuffed by him into a jar filled with gunpowder almost blown up to heaven, but fortunately he was stopped in time, so that there was no miserable scene of pulverized bones.

Counting the days, also practiced for more than two months, now finally have a bit of pattern, levy Annan’s army has set off, no accident, model battalion should also pull out, tailing the army all the way south.

Thinking that his brothers were about to part with him, Zhang Anshi could not help but weep in his heart.

However, brothers on the march, is their own march, that tiger flag is always in the camp, see the flag as see people, read this, Zhang Anshi slightly relieved.

With this flag, it’s like Zhang Anshi in person.

“Uncle, Uncle ……”

Juergen arrived panting.

Zhang Anshi was currently under a sun umbrella, lying on a recliner, watching the crowd drill.

Zhang Anshi said, “How dare you, the camp here, is it for a miscreant like you to come in? Come back in again for me, have someone report, and wait for my consent before coming in.”

Zhu Jin panted and sweated like a pig, “Something happened, something happened, a few Tianze Wei’s, stepped on the seedlings in our Qixia’s field again, and some of the farmers went to theorize with them, and they beat them up.”

Zhang Anshi: “King Han? What, this Han King still wants to take revenge on me?”

Zhang Anshi was instantly energized.

Zhu Jin said, “This should not be His Highness the Han King retaliating.”

Zhang Anshi said, “How do you know, could you be his undercover agent?”

Zhu Jin was startled, and quickly explained, “This Tianzhe Wei …… has been domineering in the capital since it became the Han Wangwei, and historically I have been doing my own thing, and no one dares to mess with it In other places, it is also like this.”

Zhang Anshi cracked, “Then is there any king’s law left?”

Zhu Jin said, “He is the King of Han, and the King of Han’s father is His Majesty, so he is the king’s law.”

Zhang Anshi became furious: “Deception is too much, I, Zhang Anshi, will never tolerate it.”

At that moment, Zhang Anshi called out in Zhu Yong’s direction, “Elder, come here.”

As soon as Zhu Yong heard Zhang Anshi’s call, he rushed here with his armor on, his face was tanned into black charcoal, he almost daily drilled the generals here and ate and slept with them, at this time, he was close to Zhang Anshi, and looked at his elder brother with admiration.

Big brother is big brother, and big brother moves his brain.

“Big brother, what’s your order?”

“You go to the camp of the Heavenly Policy Guards and provoke me to get back my face.”

“Ah …… this ……”

Zhang Anshi said, “Don’t dare to go?”

“I’m the only one going?”

Zhang Anshi said, “I can’t bear the thought of hurting all the brothers if more people go, so you alone will not suffer.”

Zhu Yong then said dismally, “Okay, I’ll go.”

At that moment, he didn’t hesitate and ran away in a puff of smoke.

Half an hour later, Zhu Yong came back panting and smiling with an open brow.

“How’s that for provocation?”

“Provoked.” Zhu Yong said.

Zhang Anshi said, “And then?”

“There’s no more then.”

Zhang Anshi said, “You provoked how come there’s no more then?”

“I spit on their regulator and they didn’t dare fart.”

Zhang Anshi: “……”

“Big brother, big brother, what do you want to say, just squeak.”

Zhang Anshi sighed, “Let Lao San go and pick a fight.”

Zhu Yong jumped up and down and said, “Oh, oh, okay, I’ll go get him.”

After another hour passed, Zhang Yoking came back, and Zhang Anshi saw that he was in one piece, “You also spat a mouthful of phlegm?”

Zhang Yoking said fiercely, “I peed by their camp.”

Zhang Anshi felt tragic.

It’s comforting to know that the two brothers are growing up and they’re growing their brains.

Zhang Anshi said seriously, “It seems that we can only send out Lao Si.”

…………

One hour later.

Rumble ……

A Boom ……

Then a group of Tian Ce guards, chased after a teenager and then tried to beat him up.

The teenager was bundled with gunpowder, and even though the people of the Tianze Wei were chasing and beating him, they were too scared to come too close.

Eventually, Qusong rushed into the model camp, and only then did the men of the Heavenly Curse Guard return in disgust.

Qiu Song was like a great general who returned to the court in victory, striding with a tiger’s pace and holding his belly in front of Zhang Anshi: “It blew up, and I threw the grenade, into the pit in their camp.”

Zhang Anshi gratifyingly touched Qiu Song’s head, “The one who is both wise and brave, Vice Camp Officer Qiu, the best camp officer in the battalion this year, booked for you first.”

Chusong’s eyes were bright with pride.

It won’t take long ……

Then someone rushed in, “It s not good, it s not good, the Tianzhe Wei …… Tianzhe Wei is out, and is coming this way.”

The one who spoke was Zhang San, who was there to keep an eye out, and as soon as he found out about the movements of the Heavenly Policy Guards, he immediately came to report.

Zhang Anshi took a deep breath and said, “Our people, have they been invited?”

Gu Xingzu said, “Master En, please come.”

Zhang Anshi said, “Let’s go, let’s meet first.”

He said, and went straight into the big tent.

In the big tent, Yao Guangxiao is looking at the arrangement of this tent, nodding his head continuously with satisfaction, with him, there is another person, but it is Fang Bin, the right minister of the Ministry of War.

Yao Guangxiao needless to say, Fang Bin is also Zhu Di’s beloved, because Zhu Di especially valued the Ministry of War, after entering the capital, Fang Bin quickly to the district of the identity of the Langzhong, promoted to the right minister, can be seen Zhu Di’s trust in him.

This Fang Bin is Zhang Anshi specially invited to patrol the camp, no matter how, you are the right minister of the Ministry of War Well, inspect the newly formed model camp, is also deserved.

Although Zhang Anshi once did not give a damn about the Ministry of War, and now suddenly climbed up again, so that the Ministry of War finally felt to get back a little face, the right minister personally came to the point of parade of soldiers and horses.

Fang Bin did not expect Yao Guangxiao to come as well, and was busy greeting Yao Guangxiao.

Yao Guangxiao smiled and said: ”Oh? Is the Ministry of War coming on parade today? It seems the poor monk didn’t pick a good time.”

Fang Bin then said, “I don t know that Yao Gong you came here ……”

“The old man was invited by Zhang Anshi to drink tea, this kid …… is quite interesting.”

He said it was quite interesting, in fact, there is still a sentence that has not been said, an hour ago, Zhang Anshi asked people to go to Yao Guangxiao’s temple to donate 20,000 taels of silver incense oil money.

Yao Guangxiao of course rushed here in a hurry, drink tea, by the way, chatting, and for this young man, he is indeed also interested.

Fang Bin laughed, “That’s good, after finishing my official duties on my side, I will also accompany Lord Yao to have a seat.”

Yao Guangxiao smiled and said, “Be my guest.”

At this time, Zhang Anshi came in and said happily, “Lord Yao, Servant Fang, oops, long time waiting, long time waiting, I am really ashamed …….”

The three of them took their seats, and Yao Guangxiao was about to say something about the scene.

At this time, someone rushed into the camp and said, “No good, no good, the Tianze Wei is here, saying that they want to flatten our Model Battalion.”

Zhang Anshi whooshed to his feet and immediately said to Yao Guangxiao and Fang Bin, “Duke Yao, Squire Fang, you heard it with your own ears, it was the Tianze Guards who moved first.”

Yao Guangxiao: “……”

Fang Bin is like eating a fly, he now has only one thought …… Staying here seems to be out of place, should the old man run first?

He stood up and was anxious: “How could such a thing happen, how could such a thing happen ah …… How should this be ah, not to it, that day Ce guards should not be so reckless.”

Zhang Anshi said, “Ah …… right right right right the other retainer is right, the Han king should be a person who knows what is important.”

Fangbin: “……”
