Chapter 415 – The Most Talented Man in the World

The tealight fell and shattered on the ground in response, but Zhang Anshi seemed unfazed.

He didn’t even blink his eyes, only looking at Yu Qian in front of him.

And then calmly said: ”You are a scholar, must not have a good impression of me. But it doesn’t matter, it’s good that you’re here, things are more complicated in the county king’s residence, you’re in the governor’s residence, use your life well, if there’s anything you don’t understand, see more, listen more, ask more.”

Yu Qian did not expect Zhang Anshi to be unruffled.

He gave Zhang Anshi a strange look.

Zhang Anshi naturally felt the measuring in Yu Qian’s gaze and only said, “What else do you want to say?”

Yu Qian only paused for a moment, then said, “I heard that today the Brocade Guards have arrested many more people, dare I ask Your Highness, are each of these people guilty of death?”

Zhang Anshi smiled and said noncommittally, “What do you think?”

Yu Qian frowned slightly and said, “At least some of the people, the next official thought ……”

Zhang Anshi sighed, but interrupted him, “A scholar’s opinion.”

Yu Qian, unlike the others who were obsequious, met Zhang Anshi’s gaze and said, “Your Highness, why is that so?”

Zhang Anshi smiled and said, “You will understand later. By the way, in your hand, where did the official document come from?”

Only then did Yu Qian take back his eyes and look at the official document in his hand, saying, “This one, is an express report sent from Java. His Highness the King of Zhao wants to advance into Sumatra, and now the army is being fodder, I hope that His Highness can grant a loan of silver, purchase firearms, and sea transportation to Java ……”

Hearing this, Zhang Anshi frowned, “Isn’t this an empty glove? Where in the world is it reasonable to borrow money to fight a war.”

Yu Qian: “……”

“In addition to ……” Yu Qian raised his head to look at Zhang Anshi: “Here head also said that His Highness, the King of Zhao, has commissioned the long history Xie Jin into the court, to contact the matter of firearms, they can be used to Java’s plantations as well as the mines of various places to do offset. ”

Zhang Anshi raised his eyebrows and said, “Xie Jin?”

Speaking of which, this name, which he hadn’t heard for a long time, was truly both familiar and unfamiliar!

Zhang Anshi nodded and simply said, “I see, what else?”

Yu Qian shook his head and said, “There are still a few private letters, the next official does not dare to open and read …… them.”

Zhang Anshi then said: ”Now I have a lot of private letters at hand, if I open them one by one and reply to them one by one, how can I respond to them? In the future, if there are still such letters, you open them first. Sort out some important, presented to me, as for not important, give me summarized into a brief, inform a. As for how I want to reply, you come to me. As for how I am to respond, you can draft it.”

As a county king, Zhang Anshi’s daily correspondence is too much, and has reached the point of being distracted.

Therefore, if there is no specialized person to handle it, I am afraid that it will not take many days for it to pile up into a mountain.

Yu Qian looked surprised, he didn’t expect that Zhang Anshi would put him in charge of this matter.

You know, this can involve a lot of private correspondence that would never be entrusted to someone if they were absolutely trusted.

But he had come to the House of the Chief Historian for only a few short days.

Zhang Anshi saw that he was muffled, so he said, “Why don’t you respond?”

Yu Qian hesitated for a moment, then said, “The next official is worried …… that he can not do this matter, your highness whether to ask for another.”

Zhang Anshi said in an unimpressed manner, ”This is just a small matter, anyone can handle it. You are a lifer by birth and should be comfortable handling such a matter. To this king, as long as the person is trustworthy, the rest is not important.”

Yu Qian: “……”

Yu Qian s heart is mixed, in fact, his perception of Zhang Anshi is not very good, but Zhang Anshi is …… to him, but it seems …… to attract him as a beloved meaning.

Zhang Anshi looked at him strangely and said, ”Why don’t you speak again? In the future, if you have anything, you can talk to the king, the king will not be offended. Oh yeah, when dealing with official documents and private missives, be sure to ponder well and think about the meaning behind these official documents.”

“Yes.” Yu Qian nodded.

He even had some suspicions that Zhang Anshi was up to some trickery.

But on second thought, Zhang Anshi is just a young man, what kind of bad thoughts can he have? Maybe the rumors and gossips in the outside world are just falsehoods.

Zhang Anshi this head, letter hand will take a letter on the case, open and read up, look down, suddenly face suddenly change.

Just now, the two of them were still considered to be chatting in a relaxed manner, but in the twinkling of an eye, the place had gained a bit more of a solemn atmosphere.

Seeing Zhang Anshi frowning and looking at the letter without saying anything, Yu Qian was about to open his mouth to say goodbye and go out.

Zhang Anshi, however, said, “You come ……”

Yu Qian had no choice but to say, “What are Your Highness’ orders?”

Zhang Anshi but suddenly revealed a smile, rejoiced: “Finally is …… done la, good, but it is a loss I did not spend less silver.”

Seeing Zhang Anshi followed by great joy, Yu Qian was even more confused, so he said, “I don’t know what else Your Highness commands?”

“Make an itinerary for me to tour the Qixia Medical School in three days.”

Yu Qian said, “Yes. Dare I ask Your Highness, this medical school, where is it?”

Zhang Anshi said, “This is the new hospital, is the dynasties so far, the first specializing in patients, while taking into account the consultation, medicine and teaching place. Do you know how much silver was spent on this medical school?”

He said with gusto, then held out a finger.

Yu Qian said, “Ten thousand taels?”

Zhang Anshi said, “One million taels of grain silver.”

Yu Qian: “……”

Zhang Anshi but smilingly said: “Of course, the expenses here, mainly in the building, equipment, testing, and personnel. The beginning of everything is difficult, this silver is not abundant can not, not to mention the other, alone these eh personnel, has been specialized in hiring people, training for a full four years, teaching them a variety of medical and health principles.”

“In addition to this, all the medical equipment, have to be customized, you do not look at the inside of the many small instruments, but embroidery needle-like, but they are more expensive than gold, a lot of vessels, want to make out, but it took countless people’s efforts.”

“There are also experiments ……” Zhang Anshi cheerfully said: “Search for today’s world of medicines, reorganize, and then through different diseases, test the effect, the effect is not obvious, then shaved out, if the obvious effect, it is compiled in the teaching material If the effect is not obvious, it will be removed. As for the other tests, you probably won’t understand even if I say so.”

“This Ou Tong is the most difficult to get, or personnel, each person to train up, are not easy, to teach them the method of experimentation, teach them the medical science and pharmacology, this can be very difficult. In addition, the cost of construction, not smaller than my royal residence, some places, a house, to build up, need to spend more than tens of thousands of taels of silver. But this silver, but spend the value, not to mention the million taels, even add a few more million taels, is also value for money.”

Yu Qian was still confused by what he heard.

In this day and age, when you tell someone that a medical center costs a million taels of silver, under normal circumstances, people will just think that the person is really greedy.

Moreover, he couldn’t understand that Zhang Anshi’s thinking seemed to be very different from normal people, and he always seemed to be interested in some strange and weird things.

In particular, many official documents approved by the royal family, almost involved in doing business, or some rare so-called machinery, His Highness’s approval tends to be more timely, and other things, it tends to be slower.

Yu Qian thought about it, but said, “Yes, the next official will add into the schedule, the day after tomorrow at noon, how?”

Zhang Anshi mused, “Yes, then the day after tomorrow at noon.”

Yu Qian said, “My humble servant excuses himself!”

Zhang Anshi waved his hand without lifting his head and said, “Go on, go on.”

Inside and outside the capital, calm has gradually returned.

Unlike what many people had imagined, it was originally thought that the arrest of so many people by the Brocade Guards would inevitably lead to unexpected fallout.

But in reality, it seems that the military and civilians inside and outside this capital care more about the will that His Majesty has honored.

Once the decree arrives, it is difficult to have any interest in who has suffered and who has had bad luck.

Zhang Anshi did not go too much to meddle in the matter of the reverse case, the Jin Yiwei up and down, since someone to follow the will to act.

However, as the United Chambers began to relax loans again, followed by the dust of the New Deal dispute, it has finally boosted a lot of confidence in this Taiping Province.

However, this Taiping House, still busy, a set of stimulus favorable program, has begun to formulate.

At the same time, a report, also presented to the palace.

Zhu Di had read the report and was relieved for a long time.

In the end, this is an era where there are a number of workshops, but they are still far from being productive.

In latter-day parlance, it’s called demand outweighs supply; after all, productivity is here.

The entire world is still a vast market, and it is still far from the time when supply exceeds demand.

This crisis is just more of a crisis of trust.

Zhu Zhanji was ordered to go to the prefectures and counties of Zhili to reach out to the scholars and merchants and explain the court’s determination for a new government.

It must be said that this third-class official is very useful, energetic, and his salary is still small, and the most important thing is that, whenever he arrives at a county, almost everyone in the county is happy and demoralized.

And those who were quite critical of the New Deal in the past, at this moment, have long been unknown where to hide.

Zhu Di relaxed, summoned all the bachelors and ministries to agree on the new policy.

At this time the Wen Yuan Ge and the ministries, but also reached a basic agreement, although there is resistance to the new policy, but almost also know that at this time is the general trend.

The problem now, instead, is the details of the discussion.

After expressing their views.

Almost everyone agrees that the implementation of the New Deal has to be put on hold.

Even Yang Rong, also said: “Your Majesty, the new policy of Taipingfu, I also know a little, the implementation of the new policy, lies in the people, but if you want to implement the world’s provinces, if the use of the provinces and counties of the original parents of the government as well as to encourage the local gentry. I am worried that, in the end, it may become the situation of the Jiangxi Provincial Government. Instead of this, I think that the implementation of the provinces, can be suspended.”

Zhu Di frowned, “If that’s the case, won’t the world never have a new government?”

Yang Rong smiled and said: “I thought it is not so, the Taiping Province side, I checked, the annual enrollment of schoolchildren, there are 70,000 to 80,000 huge, in the reading of students, students, but also in the 200,000 above. Such a large-scale people reading and literacy, within a few years, I’m afraid that the entire Zhili readers, to account for half of the world’s readers, can be said to be the world’s talent, convergence here, as long as time, and so that this batch of people have been sharpened, their as, more than the present to be far greater.”

“The minister’s advice, not without the cause of obstructing the new government, but thought, some things, the more hasty, but the opposite, it would be better for the court’s limited mind, placed in Zhili, to Zhili and pry the world, which is the most secure way.”

Zhu looked on thoughtfully and said, “This is quite reasonable.”

He couldn’t decide for a moment.

But he said, “You spoke of schoolchildren, and you seem to be quite concerned about the school administration in Zhili?”

Yang Rong said: “I have always thought that the nature of the world, certainly for the sake of the people. But on the contrary, want to rule the world, but must be someone can not, only reading, can pass on learning, can look for solutions to things, Zhili, especially the Taiping Province these years, encourage people to read, now the effect has been manifested.”

Hu Guang smiled at the side and said, “But not necessarily. Reading and reading is different after all, the vast majority of Taiping Province schoolchildren, the books they read, ultimately more shallow, can read and write, it is considered a reader, and the real readers, ultimately different.”

Yang Rong said: “The essence of reading does not lie in the number of great scholars in the world, and the world can never be stabilized by a few great scholars. If so, the argument, the Yuan Dynasty, there are a lot of great Confucianism, especially in science, the progress of God, although the science of Song, but the real development of the person, but in the Yuan. Just …… Hu Gong …… this former Yuan, and how many years of Jiangshan?”

When these words came out, Hu Guang was directly silenced by the dry.

He now had Yang Rong Fear Syndrome, but whenever Yang Rong opened his mouth, he couldn’t help but feel his eyes jumping.

Zhu Di nodded: “What Yang Qing said is deeply in my heart. Speaking of the academic government, Zhang Qing can be said to be a great credit, which is very good ……”

Saying that, he turned his head to ask Yiluoha, but said, “Zhang Qing has been very busy these past two days, hasn’t he?”

Also lost Ha Gongjin ground: “Your Majesty, it is rumored that His Highness the King of Wuhu County is not touching the ground. Now a hundred karma to be raised, His Highness the King of Wuhu County has to appease the people, but also to try the chaotic party, oh, today at noon, His Highness also went to the medical school ………”

“Medical school ……,” Zhu muttered.

Only to see also lost ha then said: “your majesty, this medical school, under the head of the people reported, said it covers a huge area, a medical school, can be worth the size of a hundred medical center, today is considered to be formally inaugurated for business, so his highness is very concerned about, personally went to a trip.”

“Covering such a large area, how many people must this treat?” Zhu Di looked surprised.

Zhu then paused before adding, “It’s going to cost a lot of silver, right?”

Yiluoha said truthfully, “From what I heard, the cost was over a million taels of grain silver.”

Zhu’s eyes jumped, but he still remained in his careless demeanor as he looked a bit unhappy.

Well, in the presence of his courtiers, Zhu Di did not show his face and continued to talk about political affairs.

Just talking, talking, Xia Yuanji suddenly said, “Your Majesty, I heard that His Highness, the King of Zhao, sent someone to the capital, I wonder if this is true?”

Zhu Di’s face immediately became solemn for a few moments and said, “I’ve heard about this loser!”

Now whenever he hears about the King of Han and the King of Zhao, Zhu Di is very unhappy, they both come for money for firearms.

Xia Yuanji looked at Zhu Di’s face and added: “It is rumored that the dispatch is the Zhao King’s chief historian ……”

At these words, Zhu Di’s face became even more unpleasant.

Zhao Wang’s chief historian is Xie Jin.

And Xie Jin is a person that Zhu Di dislikes.

The person who favors this person is very famous.

Not only because this person is a talented person, but also in the beginning was ordered to compile books, and thus the literary reputation is even more, the most important thing is that he is a Jiangxi people, coupled with the fact that he had been in the Wen Yuan Pavilion, the wind for a moment, no one in the world knows, as for his fate since then, somehow, this tragic talented persona, is very deep.

When Zhu Di ordered Xie Jin to be the chief historian of Zhao Wang, there was already the meaning of exile.

Who knew that this guy, now, was actually coming back by decree.

And when it comes to Xie Jin, the atmosphere in the hall looks very awkward.

To know, xie jin this person is by no means general, not to mention the other, let alone his and hu guang’s deep friendship, and with the same jiangxi people JinYouZi, xia yuan jiren, etc., once also is the friendship.

These are just the tip of the iceberg, it can be said that, inside and outside the court, and Xie Jin relationship with the people, as many as hair.

Zhu Di thought more and more do not feel like this person, he felt that the king of Zhao, this guy is a jerk, in order to ask for money and goods from him as a father, but also to release Xie Jin to come.

Zhu snorted coldly and didn’t continue.

Xia Yuanji finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Your Majesty, Duke Xie is a scholar, who has traveled far across the ocean and is now returning to the capital from a long distance, I don’t know, what kind of etiquette should be used to entertain him.”

Zhu Di faintly said, “He’s just the chief historian, why does he need to be taken care of extraordinarily?”

The meaning of this became obvious, and Natsubara Yoshi fell silent.

As they retired, the ministers silently thought about their thoughts.

Xia Yuanji also looked sullen, and Jin Chun, the Minister of Justice, saw this and said, “Is Xia Gong still thinking about Xie Gong? His Majesty to Xie Gong …… hey …… you better say a few words.

Jin Chun’s words came with a few well-intentioned reminders.

Xia Yuanji, however, said, “Gentlemen and different, although there are many things that Xie Gong, not as satisfactory. But after all ……”

The latter words, he did not go on, but it is clear that he is defending Xie Jin.

On the other side, Yang Rong glanced at the thoughtful Hu Guang, came closer and said, “Why don’t I see you pleading for Lord Xie today?”

Hu Guang honestly said, “If I don’t say anything, it’s not a big deal; if I do, Yang Gong will surely refute it, which is rather unfavorable to Xie Gong, so I’d better not say anything.”

Yang Rong can not help but give a laugh, and then smiled and said, “Xie Jin …… you think His Highness the King of Zhao ordered Xie Jin to enter the capital, is it just for the sake of asking for money and grain?”

Hu Guang opened his eyes and said, “What do you mean by that?”

“It doesn’t mean anything.” Yang Rong said, “It’s just some doubts in my heart.”

Hu Guang felt that he seemed to have read a few parts of Yang Rong’s meaning, so he said, “No way, do you think that the King of Zhao has not died?”

Yang Rong said lightly, “I didn’t say that.”

Hu Guang held back his red face and said with a few hints of gambling, “But this is what you meant.”

Yang Rong said, “Nonetheless, I just feel doubtful, not certainty.”
