Go on? ! I don't know what's underneath...
Zhang Han was silent for a long time, seeing Liu Xie staring at him with stern eyes.
Then he turned his head and muttered silently: People, what are people...
"People are not born with knowledge, how can they be free from confusion?" Zhang Han turned around and looked at Liu Xie sincerely, "But no matter how witty and witty I say next, it is nothing more than explaining that sentence."
"A teacher is someone who teaches, teaches, and resolves doubts."
This is already the argument, and any explanation that follows is to prove this statement.
"The sage is the teacher of impermanence."
"Confucius studied under Tanzi, Changhong, Xiang and Laodan."
"The disciples of Tanzi are not as wise as Confucius."
"Zi once said, 'When three people are walking together, there must be my teacher.' Therefore, the disciple does not have to be inferior to the teacher, and the teacher does not have to be better than the disciple."
"There is a certain order of learning, and there is a specialization in the arts, that's all."
"Now that I have heard your Majesty's words, I would venture to guess that your Majesty does not think that the noble students in the Imperial City have weak hearts, but that your Majesty has learned a lot and no longer realizes the importance of teachers."
"Therefore, I ask this question to my ministers, hoping to discuss Taoism and debate scriptures, so that I can praise your majesty."
"However, I have no intention of comparing myself with knowledge. For example, if there is a pine on the top of Mount Tai, is there no higher pine or cypress in the world than where it stands?"
"There are strong trees standing on the top of mountain peaks, and winter plum blossoms blooming on the cliffs. Only by persevering in study can one achieve true enlightenment. Your Majesty should set an example and let students all over the world imitate the character of the Holy Master."
"As for praise of talent, it should be followed by praise of character."
Zhang Han's words quoted from classics, were eloquent, majestic and profound. By the way, they also expressed what Liu Xie was thinking.
The young Emperor Xian was dumbfounded, with mixed feelings in his heart. He had just listened to many of these sentences and even blushed when Zhang Han hit his mark.
On the contrary, I feel guilty for thinking that I have accomplished something in my studies.
A teacher is someone who teaches, teaches and resolves doubts.
People are not born with knowledge, how can they be free from confusion.
These words awakened the dreamer. If I was not confused at this time, it would be because I failed to understand many things deeply.
Is it possible that I can't even see "confusion" now, and I think that there is a green pine standing on the top of the mountain, but in fact, there are other peaks and mountains within the clouds and mist on the mountain? !
Liu Xie was unhappy today and felt the pressure of the officials in the court.
The main reason is that the prime minister will open the treasury to transport money and grain, and will use this year's income to provide disaster relief and support the army.
Internal governance and military affairs can consume a huge amount of money. This year, we can only make enough food and clothing through farming.
Liu Xie believes that if the rescue and treatment of disaster victims is not perfect, but it will do twice the result with half the result, it may not be able to win the praise of the people.
But it will consume Xudu's current food reserves, causing shortages in the coming year.
The civil construction of Xudu was already very slow. What Liu Xie wanted at the beginning was to immediately build Xudu into a magnificent city like Luoyang.
After Cao Cao took office as Sikong, he was in charge of civil construction, inspecting the local features, looking for talents and wise men, and slowly building. At that time, Liu Xie also tolerated it.
This year, a lot of tribute has been paid to the national treasury from various places, and the money and grain donated by various ethnic groups to the court can also be used to cover the annual expenses.
Taking it for disaster relief would inevitably make Liu Xie feel like he was being cut off. He felt unhappy, so he wanted to find Zhang Han to discuss Taoism, knowledge, etc...
Deep down in his heart, there was a purpose to tell Zhang Hanshengjia that he had grown up and had achieved academic success, so that he could slowly return to power.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Han saw through his thoughts and after a long discussion, he saw the gap.
Zhang Han can see fire clearly, let alone Cao Gong? If you say this rashly, it will inevitably chill people's hearts.
"What Ai Qing said made me awaken, ashamed, and enlightened!" Liu Xie sighed deeply, "I should devote myself to learning again, and then think about other opinions when I really achieve something."
now it's right……
Zhang Han breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the little emperor must be feeling uncomfortable.
After all, he took the money from his pocket and cut it all out.
No one feels good, but you can't make us feel bad just because you don't feel good, right?
What you have lost is only your Liu family's Han family world. If we don't open the national treasury, what we will lose is our own interests.
"Your Majesty, Jizhou does not accept poor people, but Xu Du is willing to do so. Why? Maybe because this place is at the feet of the emperor, a place where the saint's kindness shines, and it should be benevolent and righteous."
"In the past during the Zhongping and Chuping years, the people were exiled, dispersed, and homeless, and the world was in chaos. Now that there is peace in the sea, the more the other princes are unwilling to do, the more your majesty will do it. Although the national treasury is losing money, the people have been able to survive. , and in another three to five years, it will be continuously turned into tax revenue to fill the national treasury.”
This is the simplest way of saying it. Zhang Han didn't want to talk too much to Emperor Xian, so he just put the simplest principle of balance in front of him.
"If Your Majesty is reluctant to part with what is currently in the national treasury, and his people die due to disasters, the harvest in the coming year will definitely be reduced, and the tax revenue will also be reduced. Wouldn't it be that the treasury is empty and there is no place to do anything?"
“If there are no fish in a fish pond, can it still be called a fish pond?”
Liu Xie nodded: "I understand the truth, but all civil and military officials are like this..."
"Then it means that all the officials can see this. Doesn't it mean that the court is stable and there are many talents? This is a good thing." Zhang Han solemnly nodded his admonishment. When he said this, he seemed to think of something, and then said: "If it were in the past, When the Fu family and the Dong family are both in the court, they will definitely speak out and refuse this trip."
"However, although the people who saved it were the treasury, they were just sycophants who only wanted to please people, but they damaged tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of lives, and also lost the trust of the people in the world. Although the Han Dynasty declined, it did not die. Why? "
Zhang Han's tone became sharp: "Because there are still people who regard the Han as the people and protect the people of the world. This person can be your majesty, the prime minister, or me."
"Every man is responsible for the rise and fall of a country. If we are not destroyed, the great men will not be destroyed."
"well said."
Liu Xie didn't know why he got involved here, but for some reason he felt very excited and subconsciously praised him.
After thinking about it carefully, I felt that what Zhang Han said was very true. If those few people were still in the court, they would really speak to me.
There will then be heated debates in the court, making it difficult to reach an agreement, and in the end it may be delayed again and again.
It would be like Chang'an three years ago, with corpses strewn across the fields outside and in the middle of the Pass due to food shortages and scorching heat.
Roads were impassable and millions of people were killed or injured.
What a tragedy that would be.
"Your Majesty, please rest assured. After this incident, the people in the territory all trust the imperial court. Although the treasury is empty, it can be replenished. What your Majesty has accumulated is not reputation, but merit in this world."
"Okay, okay..." Liu Xie finally sighed and felt a lot more relaxed. He cast an approving look at Zhang Han and said softly: "Bo Chang, only your words can speak to my heart. "
"At present, the prime minister is the pillar of the court. In the long run, it is you, the young minister, who should be the pillar..."
ah?
Do I have such a high status in your heart? I haven't done much recently... Zhang Han thought to himself, accepting this compliment with a guilty conscience.
Maybe my charm is getting higher and higher. Sometimes it’s annoying to be treated well by people wherever I go.
The living environment now is much better than before.
…
Zhang Han left the palace gate and when he arrived at the school grounds, he heard Dian Wei cursing at a guard.
After seeing Zhang Han come out, he stopped scolding and smiled all over his face.
"This Dianwei is very cunning now."
Zhang Han muttered secretly.
"What did the Lord say?" Dian Wei was stunned, subconsciously feeling that he had been scolded.
"I said you worked hard and waited for me for so long."
"Oh, what are you afraid of? I am originally the king's bodyguard," Dian Wei and Zhang Han looked at each other kindly for a while and left the palace amidst laughter and joy.
"What is your Majesty asking?"
"I don't want to open the national treasury," Zhang Han touched his chin, a little confused, "Brother Dian, you said that when you were in Chang'an, there was a severe drought both outside and in Guanzhong. At that time, His Majesty also advocated opening Taicang to transport grain and grass to relieve the people. Why now? But he can’t bear it?”
Dian Wei thought for a while, blinked his eyes and leaned back slightly, and said: "It's normal. The grain stored in Chang'an before was not his. It was the money and grain of Li Jue and Guo Si. Now it is different in Xu. The prime minister does not Get your hands on the treasury.”
"Huh," Zhang Han breathed a long sigh of relief, "That's right, the prime minister has also changed."
"Changed? Hasn't it always been like this?" Dian Wei scratched his head, not knowing what Zhang Han meant.
All in all, it’s great to have another year free.
Zhang Han tilted his head, narrowed his eyes like crescent moons and smiled, it was another peaceful year.
…
At the end of November, before the end of the year, medical officers from the north and south near Xudu were recruited and gathered one after another. Each official set up a medical office near Xudu to recruit famous doctors from the reception.
The Taiyuan Hospital was unwilling to comply with the imperial edict before, but after several attempts to shirk the situation, Cao Cao stopped shouting.
However, after the establishment of the Medical Department, I felt uneasy because I was afraid of being criticized by others. Or I felt guilty when I saw others treating people, and I wanted to take some official positions in the Medical Department and perform meritorious services.
Of course, Zhang Han couldn't get in at all. The area he was responsible for was Hanoi, which was near the capital.
In addition, Zhang Han has a high reputation and good connections.
Doctors are willing to go elsewhere, mainly because the salary offered by Zhang Han is very high, which is much higher than other places.
Well... this may not be the main reason. The most important thing is that the place is good, with beautiful mountains and clear waters, and the hospital is full of winter plums. There are six courtyards in the medical office alone, including medicine warehouses, financial warehouses, grain warehouses, etc. , occupying a total area of approximately one hundred feet.
With a mountain road behind and a river in front, it is comparable to a small town, housing a thousand households.
It is said that it is still Zhang Han's private property... How generous it is to be able to dedicate such a luxurious private house as a medical office in Xuzhou.
Even though Zhang Han is a young minister with countless meritorious deeds and has received countless rewards, this mountain courtyard is definitely worth a lot of money. I am afraid that Zhang Han has sacrificed himself for the public good and treated himself badly.
For a time, many doctors were secretly praising him, and Zhang Han's reputation continued to increase! !
In the main hall of the courtyard, Zhang Han smashed a scroll of letters on the ground with a loud bang, almost flipping the table over, standing up and staring at the young man below in stunned silence.
"I have already donated my mansion! I also contributed money to increase the salary of medical officers! Now you still want me to help find medicines!?"
"Your Majesty, this is feasible. It's time to agree to it. Nowadays, among the officials in various places, your Majesty is the most powerful. Once it succeeds, the achievements will be the greatest."
"And the most important thing is that the prince's family assets are too much. It is best to use part of them as public property and official offices!"
"In the future, no one will mention the fact that the king is so rich that he can rival the country. They will only know the beautiful story of the king raising his family to provide for the refugees."
"Watch your words!!" Zhang Han pointed at his nose and cursed: "How can I have such a fortune! What are you talking about!? If you use your family's wealth, you should use your family's wealth. Why can wealth be the enemy of the country!?"
The young Confucian scholar below was already sweating profusely, his face turned pale, and his hands were shaking. He nodded repeatedly and said: "Yes, it was a slip of the tongue. The monarch is already stretched thin. He does not hesitate to suffer the consequences of his own family, but also wants to invest in his family property to ensure the safety of the people. "
"Junhou..."
"Jia Ji'er," Zhang Han glanced at him coldly and said in a deep voice: "You can conquer my house and be the chief registrar. Do you know what your father paid for it?"
Jia Ji's complexion was slightly sallow, and she was thin and looked a little sickly.
At this moment, after being scolded by Zhang Han, he clasped his hands in front of his body and bowed down with sweat on his face, not daring to talk back to Zhang Han.
Before he came, he had been told by his father that the position of the Registrar knew many secrets of the princes, and once he entered, it would be difficult to get out.
Moreover, Zhang Han personally named him to be the master bookkeeper, so it would definitely not be that simple.
But it was also an opportunity. Jia Ji knew in his heart that nobles like Zhang Han were extremely important in front of His Majesty and the Prime Minister.
It has great status and prestige among the people and the military. If it can be appreciated, once Zhang Han gets used to it, he will definitely prosper in the future.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. There were some bad words in my words, but it was just an unintentional mistake. I will definitely not do it again in the future!"
"My father once told me to obey the king's instructions, and to serve the king wholeheartedly. I will never dare to be disrespectful."
"It's good to know!" Zhang Han shouted sternly, then patted the document, sighed a few times, collected his emotions in his heart, and said: "That's it."
"People should have a plan, and what you said makes sense. Wait for a copy of my handwriting, and you can go to Nanlin Mountain with the talisman. Go up the mountain to my mansion in the sky and get 30,000 gold, 5,000 pieces of cloth, and 5,000 catties of pure silver. , exchange for grain and medicinal materials, and exchange them in Xudu, Yingyin, and Changshe."
"Thank you, Lord," Jia Ji wiped his sweat. It was so difficult. He obviously adopted my strategy, so why did I still feel like I was almost killed.
"There is one more thing, I don't know whether I should say it or not..."
"Say!" Zhang Han glared at him. Why can't this kid feel his pulse? He's so much worse than his father. There's a huge difference!
Mr. Jia is usually shy and often fearful, but most of the time he just pretends. In fact, he understands that nothing is wrong.
Showing weakness and panic is to confuse others. Zhang Han always remembers this and will never be arrogant in his treatment of Jia Xu.
But Xiao Ji'er was not. He was really sweating profusely, and he was so panicked after just a few words.
He was able to say "I don't know if I should say this", probably because he was really frightened just now.
"A doctor came here this morning and has already stayed at the medical office. However, he refused to tell his name. He seemed quite arrogant and didn't care about the other doctors. He only sorted out his own medical books and medicinal materials, and did not go through them. With your consent, I have moved into the largest courtyard."
"Today, it seems that I have gone to the nearby area to look for patients and inquire about the epidemic situation."
"I feel that the Lord should go and see him. This old man seems to be quite capable."
"What does it look like? You still refuse to say your name?" Zhang Han touched his chin and started thinking.
"Wearing a square scarf on his head, he has a fairy-like white beard, and his crane-like hair shows a strong spirit. He has a slim figure and is a head taller than me. He speaks in a gentle manner, but he is also kind of arrogant and gentle."
"Go and have a look." Zhang Han stood up immediately and moved forward. Soon he arrived at the largest courtyard in the southeast corner.
It happened to be sunny today, and the old man was drying some herbs he had picked.
As soon as Zhang Han saw his friendly back figure with a scarf on his head, he immediately understood what he was doing. He stepped forward and quickly got behind him. With a smile on his face, he clasped his fists confidently and said, "I'm Zhang Han, Dali." Mr. Hua Tuo, Mr. Hua Tuo!! I have heard about Mr. Hua Tuo for a long time, and I am lucky to meet you today!!"
Snapped……
The body of the old man in front of him suddenly froze, and all the medicine in his hand fell to the ground. He turned around tremblingly and stared at the young and handsome Yingwu Shaoqing in front of him with his mouth open.
He said slowly: "I... Zhang Zhongjing."
Zhang Han: "..."
I wipe it! ? Is my luck fake? Is it possible to choose the wrong choice between the two? !
This is... embarrassing.
