Zhao Shuwen's beard moved automatically when he saw the ruler beside him. When Yu Qian saw this, he turned around and ran away.
"Don't run, I'll make you crazy, I'll make you proud!" Zhao Shuwen chased away. Zhang Yiyan, a fellow social student, saw Yu Qian being chased and burst into laughter: "Idiot, I'm just saying, how can you tell Director Zhao Xun about this kind of thing? We should run to the capital and report it directly to His Majesty." After Zhao Shuwen heard about it, he ignored Yu Qian and grabbed Zhang Yiyan who was watching the excitement. He slapped two rulers, which made the hand feel painful and made Yu Qian in the distance suck in the cold air.
Zhang Yiyan screamed in pain, and he did not forget to point three fingers to Yu Qian with his other hand. Yu Qian knew clearly that this was the price for rescuing himself, three steamed geese... Pity his pocket money, it was about to bottom out again. , but looking at Zhao Xun's ruler, Yu Qian simply ran away.
As a gentleman, it is better to be beaten less often. Returning home, he walked to his father Yu Yanzhao's study. Yu Yanzhao felt relieved after hearing the news told by the servant. He was about to go out and talk to his friends about the current situation when he saw Yu Qian walking over listlessly.
"Qian'er, if you don't have schoolwork today, how can you get home?" Yu Yanzhao was a little surprised. The last time Yu Qian was so lethargic was when his grandfather Yu Wenming passed away four years ago.
When Yu Qian saw Yu Yanzhao, he saluted and said, "Father, children are beaten by discipline." Yu Yanzhao looked at Yu Qian with a smile on his face: "Although Zhao Xun is serious, he can still distinguish right from wrong. I will never hit you for no reason. Tell me, what happened?" Yu Qian took a step back and said, "Father, can you put down the stick first." Yu Yanzhao dropped the stick hidden behind him, sat down, and waited. With Yu Qian’s explanation.
Yu Qian thought for a while and said seriously: "Father, my grandfather taught me to be a man like Wen Tianxiang. Over the years, I have read through history books and have regarded Wen Tianxiang as my lifelong teacher, and I should serve the court with my life. But today the county government has failed. After receiving the notice, the imperial court said that it would march north to deal with the Tatars, Ulyankha and Oara, and also said that there would be no major wars for a hundred years after this battle."
"In this way, the scale of this war will be unprecedented, and it can even be said that the whole country will fight. From the Jianwen Newspaper, I saw that Zhang Fu's army has deployed its troops on the Yalu River, and the Japanese army is unstoppable in North Korea. As of this If this continues, Zhang Fu's army will definitely not be able to assist in the battle, which means that the imperial court needs to mobilize the main force of the Beijing Army and the main force of the Northern Guard to go out."
"According to the gentlemen, although the number of cavalry in our Ming Dynasty has increased greatly, it is still insufficient. The specific number of cavalry is a military secret. I don't know, but I know that there are countless war horses in Qilian Mountain and Tianshan Racecourse. Therefore, I wrote a letter, I hope that Sir will transfer it to the imperial court and report it to Your Majesty, so that His Majesty can throw all the horses in the racecourse into the war, chase the nomads to the horizon, and completely eliminate their fighting power! Unexpectedly, Sir, he was furious and chased after him with a ruler..." Yu Yan Zhao looked at his son, stretched out his hand, and wanted to pick up the stick. You are only twelve years old, how dare you write to the court, and talk about military affairs and the overall situation of the world!
You guys are too courageous, aren't you? If I give you another eight years, you still won't be able to stand in front of the emperor and talk about how to govern the country while spitting?
This kid is so proud. Got a cure! In the end, Yu Yanzhao did not pick up the stick, but walked towards Yu Qian and taught him earnestly: "Son, you have the ambition to serve the country and the desire to serve the court. This is a good thing. But military and national affairs are not something that a young boy like you can talk about. ?Aren’t you studying Yongjia Thought recently? Have you forgotten that you should investigate first and grasp the situation first, then talk about it, and then discuss and demonstrate it. What you said about the strategy of arming the Tianshan and Qilian Mountain racecourses, in my father’s opinion, at least There are two things wrong." Yu Qian looked at his father and said seriously: "Please give me some advice." Yu Yanzhao pointed to the west: "First, there are countless war horses in Qilian Mountain and Tianshan Racecourse. This should be true. . But have you ever thought about it, there is a difference between cavalry and riding horses. Those who can ride horses are not necessarily cavalry. How many real cavalry can there be in the two major horse farms of Tianshan and Qilian Mountains? You can't treat all horse breeders as cavalry, right? ?”
"What's more, these two areas are facing direct threats from Oara, especially the Western Border. The territory is too vast, and the troops can only be stationed in important border towns and cities. Once local cavalry is deployed, the area will be empty, which will definitely give Oara an opportunity to take advantage of. . If the local cavalry is not mobilized, they can only be on the defensive. It may not be easy to deal with the elites of the entire Oara clan with scattered strength." Yu Qian listened carefully and nodded silently.
Seeing that Yu Qian had listened, Yu Yanzhao continued: "Secondly, you didn't consider the time. Oara, Tatar, and Wuliangha have become enemies, and the imperial court is going to send troops to conquer it. Jianwen Newspaper has never said that, and it can be said that there is no warning. I have never heard anyone in the capital mention it. Some time ago, the imperial court sent 50,000 Beijing troops north on the pretext of taking over the Peking military camp. Many people saw it as a sign of moving the capital and did not think of war. "
"We don't know how much intelligence the imperial court has internally, but it is obvious that the main force of the Beijing army has not moved, which shows that the imperial court is not clear about the situation. Now that it is suddenly going to go on an expedition, it is obvious that the intelligence has been confirmed. But at this time, it wants to mobilize the Qilian Mountains, It’s already too late to recruit the war horses from the Tianshan Racecourse.” Yu Qian suddenly realized, and said a little guiltily: “It seems that I took it for granted. Also, if you want to recruit the war horses from the Qilian Mountains, it’s still possible in one month, but if you want to recruit the Tianshan Mountains, it’s still possible. It will take two months to build a war horse, and I'm afraid the enemy won't give us this time. I will go to my husband to apologize, and then write a more feasible document." Yu Yanzhao originally nodded with joy. , but after hearing the last sentence, he immediately became angry and slapped the table: "You kid, go back to class now. You can't even finish your homework, and you still want to talk about state affairs. Are you looking for a fight?"
"But I want to serve the country!" Yu Qian insisted. Yu Yanzhao's chest kept rising and rising, and he said angrily: "It's too early for you to talk about serving the country. This stage has not yet seen a brat like you! Don't underestimate the world's heroes, and don't underestimate the wise Emperor Jianwen. , you can think of it, they have naturally thought of it, even further than you!" Yu Qian was very unwilling: "But when I grow up, the enemies will be gone, how can I become a person like Wen Tianxiang?" Wen Tianxiang, Knowing that the general trend of the world was irreversible, he still dared to stand up and turn the tide, risking his life to fight against the Yuan Dynasty and the powerful enemy!
Now, Emperor Jianwen is about to take action. He will definitely spare no effort to truly eliminate these remnants of the Yuan Dynasty, so that the grassland will be peaceful and will no longer be a threat to the Ming Dynasty.
If I don't do anything at this time and contribute to the elimination of these people, won't I never have the chance to fight against the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty?
Shouldn’t the intersection between himself and Wen Tianxiang fall on the Mongols? Yu Yanzhao looked at the strong Yu Qian and suddenly laughed: "My child, everyone's mission is different. When you grow up, the Ming Dynasty may not have strong enemies, but it does not mean that the court has no talents to use. Land. You must not have forgotten the basic industrial strategy promoted by the imperial court."
"Of course I remember." Yu Qian said solemnly. Yu Yanzhao nodded slightly: "When the imperial court promotes the basic industrial strategy, it will naturally promote the industrial strategy based on it. I heard Zhao Xundao say that the basic industrial strategy is just to open up mining, smelting, manufacturing, parts processing, and steam engine manufacturing. But the real industrial strategy is to use the steam engine as a tool to change all industries."
"What does father mean for me to specialize in craftsmanship?" Yu Qian was confused. Yu Yanzhao waved his hand: "No, with your talent, specializing in craftsmanship is really an incompetence, but you must understand that the court needs talents to manage steam engine craftsmen, needs talents to plan the development of steam engines, and needs talents to design the future. A century-old grand plan! My child, the path that Ming Dynasty is taking now is unprecedented, and everything needs to be explored and moved forward. "
"Without foreign enemies, the Ming Dynasty will change faster. The Ming Dynasty, which focuses on development, may look the same in ten years, but undergo great changes in fifty years. If there is no talent management, no important ministers to control the direction, and no experts at the helm, how will the future be? You You are still young now, so you should calm down and focus on your studies. The future will eventually belong to you young people." Yu Qian bowed deeply: "What my father teaches is that children know they are wrong." He was still too impatient.
It’s not my turn at this time, but in the future, it will be my turn! My father was right. Without external enemies, the court needed talents to govern internally.
Foreign enemies in the Ming Dynasty are nothing more than defense and warfare, but internal governance is extremely complicated. That is to say, we have to consider the people, fight with the officials, and consider the emperor's thoughts. Now I am just a young boy studying, not a court official. officials.
If you want to serve the imperial court and become the helmsman of the Ming Dynasty in the future, you must first become an official, enter the imperial court, and gain the emperor's recognition and trust.
It seems that I have to work hard, finish my social studies courses as soon as possible, and enter the county school. After the county school, I have to try once to see if I can be promoted directly to the Imperial College.
This is a difficult task, but you have to work hard!
"Father, I went to study in a society." Yu Qian strengthened his determination and found a way forward. Guangde Mansion, Jiande.
Wang family. The wealthy Wang Su invited Li Qing, Wang Ren, Zhang Bao, Zhang Daheng and other wealthy gentry people to discuss in secret with the doors and windows closed and the house under martial law.
Zhang Daheng looked at everyone, knocked on the table and said: "Do you still have any concerns? Emperor Jianwen is cutting us off one after another. When he came to the throne, he made a decree to curb the annexation of land and property, and also made Do you still remember how much we lost when we surrendered the land to the people?"
"Now, Emperor Jianwen has started to act randomly again. What decree has been issued? Seventh-grade officials can only have a maximum of 300 acres of land, including official officials! Mr. Zhang Bao, you have retired from the county magistrate for five years, right? Your family's land How much, more than 2,000 acres, right? With only 300 acres left, is it like a knife cutting flesh on your body?" - Thank you Xiaopang Ye for the reward for not being too fat, Jingxue thanked him.
