Zhu Yuanzhang was in the study, looking at the history book in his hand seriously.
This book is Sima Qian's "Historical Records".
To be honest, Zhu Yuanzhang is still very familiar with this book.
When he was in school in later modern times, he was very interested in this book. Although he was a science and engineering student, he still loved liberal arts very much.
Zhu Yuanzhang really admired Sima Qian's writing style. As the great writers of later generations said, the historian's swan song is the rhymeless dissolute.
Zhu Yuanzhang also expressed deep sympathy for Sima Qian's experience.
But what if it was a blessing in disguise?
If Sima Qian had not been subjected to this torture, would he still have written this "Historical Records" that has been passed down through the ages?
Maybe it's a different story. It's said that when heaven is about to entrust a person with a great responsibility, his mind and will must be tortured, his body and skin must be starved, and his behavior may be disturbed. Therefore, tempting his heart and forbearance will benefit him in a way that he couldn't.
At this time, Li Shanchang had already arrived outside the study.
The door of Zhu Yuanzhang's study was not closed. Li Shanchang walked to the door and said loudly, "Shanchang greets the superior!"
"Sir, please sit down!"
"I wonder what story your superior wants to hear today?" Li Shanchang asked.
"Sir, you can just say whatever you want. Whatever you say, the students will listen attentively!" Zhu Yuanzhang's words were very accurate.
"Today Shanchang will tell you a story about Liu Bang, the founder of the Han Dynasty, and his counselors!"
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard what Li Shanchang said, he immediately understood. He knew very well that Li Shanchang meant what he said!
This is Li Shanchang's reminder to Zhu Yuanzhang that he is also Zhu Yuanzhang's adviser, and Zhu Yuanzhang must also have a good relationship with his adviser.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang did not speak. He was still listening very seriously to what Li Shanchang said.
It can be said that Zhu Yuanzhang also knew this story told by Li Shanchang.
That is, some counselors advised Liu Bang, saying that Liu Bang could conquer the world immediately, but he could not rule the world immediately. Instead, he should rule the world with literati, make important use of civil servants, and give literati high-ranking officials generous salaries.
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, to be honest, Zhu Yuanzhang felt like Ming Jing.
Because Li Shanchang said this, doesn't it mean that he wants Zhu Yuanzhang to give him high-ranking officials and generous salaries? Isn't that what he means?
Originally, Zhu Yuanzhang called Li Shanchang here today because he wanted to appoint Li Shanchang to a very high position.
That is his current prime minister under the Jiangnan Pingzhang Government.
Although King Xiao Ming has not issued an edict to Zhu Yuanzhang for this appointment, Zhu Yuanzhang understands that he already has this position.
Zhu Yuanzhang has a small problem, and it cannot be said that he is wrong to think this way.
Zhu Yuanzhang was very reluctant to have others ask for things he wanted to give to others.
Zhu Yuanzhang can give it to others, but he doesn't want others to give it to him. If others show it too obviously, Zhu Yuanzhang will feel very uncomfortable.
Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang decided to wait until next time to discuss the appointment of Li Shanchang this time!
Now Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't want to talk about this matter because he feels very uncomfortable.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang's self-cultivation is now very deep.
Although Zhu Yuanzhang was unhappy and uncomfortable, he did not show it.
In fact, Li Shanchang was also secretly observing Zhu Yuanzhang's reaction.
Originally, he thought that once Zhu Yuanzhang heard the story he told, Zhu Yuanzhang would immediately give him a high official and generous salary.
However, when Li Shanchang finished telling his story, Zhu Yuanzhang just said that he told it very well.
Regarding other matters, Zhu Yuanzhang did not say a word.
Zhu Yuanzhang just listened carefully to Li Shanchang's lecture here, which showed that he was serious about studying.
But at this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang did not appoint Li Shanchang to an official position. This was Zhu Yuanzhang showing his authority.
Zhu Yuanzhang was using this to remind Li Shanchang to know the importance, to be measured in what he does and in what he says, and not to take himself too seriously and neglect others.
This time, Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to correct Li Shanchang and make him understand.
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang remembered an old saying.
This old saying goes really well, that is, it is difficult to draw the bones of a dragon or a tiger.
Again, Zhu Yuanzhang, Tang He, Xu Da, and Chang Yuchun all came from rough backgrounds, and they turned out to be good brothers.
Zhu Yuanzhang must have great trust in them.
This Li Shanchang, although he has worked with Zhu Yuanzhang for a while now, the time is still very short.
Although Zhu Yuanzhang allowed Li Shanchang to call him superior, in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart, Li Shanchang, Xu Da, and Tang were still far behind them.
The so-called friendship is also divided into years.
"Well, by the way, sir, I want to build a big recruitment hall in Jinling City. What do you think of this?"
Zhu Yuanzhang said this, and then he was observing Li Shanchang's reaction.
Because Zhu Yuanzhang knew that literati looked down upon each other. After all, the main purpose of Zhu Yuanzhang's so-called recruiting hall was to recruit literati and wise men from all over the world.
To be honest, these people are all the same people as Li Shanchang!
After hearing what Zhu Yuanzhang said, Li Shanchang first frowned slightly.
But Li Shanchang soon said, "Your decision, superior, is really very wise. We want to develop and grow. Only by recruiting wise men from all over the world for my use can we unify the world. I agree with this decision, superior."
Although Zhu Yuanzhang knew that Li Shanchang was flattering him.
But after listening to Mr. Li's words, Zhu Yuanzhang felt relatively comfortable.
After all, Zhu Yuanzhang is also a person, and he also needs the approval of others!
"Since sir is in favor of this matter, then let him handle the matter in detail!"
"Please rest assured, superior, the good people will definitely fulfill their mission, but if you are good people, please mention the name of the recruiting center!"
"Writing? You also know that my handwriting is crooked and ugly, so I'd better do it for you, sir!"
"Your Majesty, I cannot do this for you, because if your Majesty personally mentions it, it will also show your sincerity. In this case, the wise men in the world will be even more moved."
After hearing Li Shanchang's words, Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to watch it for a while, and then he acquiesced.
So after Zhu Yuanzhang waited for Li Shanchang to leave, Zhu Yuanzhang began to get busy.
Zhu Yuanzhang is not doing other things at the moment. He is practicing his calligraphy. Specifically, he is writing the three characters, Zhaoxianguan.
As the saying goes, Zhu Yuanzhang made up his mind to write these three words well.
