Fengtian carried the emperor and pardoned him......

Lin Yanchao was appointed as the political envoy of Henan Province to return to the German Mansion and the prefect......

Immediately after receiving the order, he went to work......

It was Gao Huai, an old acquaintance, who came to announce the decree.

After Lin Yanchao bowed, Gao Huai hurriedly helped Lin Yanchao up and said, "Lord Lin, if you go to Zhongzhou, you can continue to do your best for the imperial court." ”

Lin Yanchao took the holy decree and said, "Thank you Gonggong Gao." ”

When the two of them thought of the past, they were both emotional.

Then Lin Yanchao sent Gao Huai out of the inn, but when he turned around, he saw that the students all had different expressions.

Lin Yanchao was surprised: "What's wrong?" ”

The disciples were speechless for a while, and Sun Chengzong stepped forward and said: "Dong Weng, we thought that you would go back to your hometown to raise hope, just like Xie Anshi, but now we suddenly know that the imperial court will restore you, and we can't help but be surprised. ”

Xu Huobo reluctantly said: "Teacher, you can be released as a positive five grades, the students are really happy for you, as a pro-people official, dare to ask if you can still return to the Hanlin Academy in the future?" ”

Lin Yanchao knew what the students were thinking when they heard this.

Although the official position of the fifth rank is higher than that of the sixth rank Zhongyun, everyone thinks that with the nobility of Hanlin, it is really condescending to go to the local Ren Tongzhi, if it is possible, it is better to go home and recuperate for three or five years, waiting for the opportunity to recover.

The businessmen who were vying to invite Lin Yanchao before also muttered in private.

"Wasn't Lin Sanyuan cut down and returned to his hometown? Why did it come back again? ”

"You don't know this, I heard that although the common people in Guide are too poor to wear pants, the officials are so rich that they are very rich."

Seeing the expressions of the disciples, Lin Yanchao said: "Confucianism has a royal way and external use, such as Hanlin Qingliu, which is the royal road, and the same knowledge of the pro-people officials is for external use." Since the beginning of this dynasty, everyone has admired the ministers of the Qing Dynasty, and they have valued the royal way and devalued external use. But in my opinion, if the royal road is not compatible with external use, then the royal road will not accomplish anything. ”

When the disciples heard Lin Yanchao say this, they suddenly realized.

The unity of the royal road and external use is to carry out the program at the same time, which is the essence of the study of merit, which is what Lin Yanchao used to talk to them every day, that is, the ancient version of 'practice produces true knowledge'.

This is not a profound truth, and the merchants can understand it when they hear it.

"Therefore, Hanlin is for learning, and the pro-people officials are for use, first learn and then use, and for the first term of the official, for the benefit of one party, this is where the merit lies."

Hearing Lin Yanchao's words, all the disciples showed the appearance of being taught.

The businessmen said: "It turns out that Lin Sanyuan is here for the victims of the Yellow River. ”

"Looks like I'm waiting to blame him."

Everyone showed a look of guilt.

At this time, a businessman stepped forward and said, "Lin San...... No, it's Lin Sima, the road from Tongzhou to Guide is not smooth, you have to be careful. ”

Lin Yanchao asked, "How do you say this?" ”

The merchant said, "I have just come from this road, and now the Yellow River has broken north, and the road has been flooded, so the canal cannot be walked, but can only be taken by land." But the land route is not very peaceful, not to mention that now Henan, Shandong is full of displaced people, this year Beizhili suffered from drought, several counties are also famine, robbers on the road infested, I came to Beijing, but also encountered several dangers. ”

Listening to the words of this businessman, Lin Yanchao couldn't help but question, is the era he is in really the Wanli Zhongxing mentioned in the history books, and the Ming Dynasty is the time of prosperity?

Now it's like this, and in the Chongzhen year in history, how much chaos will the world have.

The disciples who said before that they wanted to learn from Lin Yanchao said one after another: "I went to Guide Mansion with my teacher, and there were many people to take care of." ”

Lin Yanchao couldn't help shaking his head when he saw the disciples like this, most of them were students, and they had a lot of enthusiasm in their hearts, but they had no experience in doing things. I went to the same knowledge of virtue and Ren, and I was ordered to investigate the case in private, so I had to choose capable people to go with me.

Lin Yanchao then left Sun Chengzong and the other six people by his side, and the rest let them go back first.

After that, Lin Yanchao immediately went back to the room to write a letter.

Who did Lin Yanchao write to?

He wrote a letter to his colleagues who had returned to the German government in the court, the same year.

Speaking of colleagues who returned to Germany in the court, the first one is Shen Li, the former head of the Hanlin Academy, and the current right attendant of the Ministry of Rites.

Shen Li is a native of Shangqiu, although he and Shen Shixing are opposites, they have always treated him well. The current Shen Li, known as Yiluo Zhenru, is the most famous person among the Qingliu officials in the court today.

If Lin Yanchao and Shen Shixing stand on the same position, and Shen Ligang, he will undoubtedly lose his reputation, so between Shen Li and Shen Shixing, he has made calculations left and right.

Lin Yanchao wrote a letter to Shen Li, in which he said very respectfully, he went to your hometown to be a magistrate, and asked Shen Lao for more advice in the future.

The second is the current governor of Baoding, Song Qi.

Song Qi has a sentence that Lin Yanchao is very respectful when he is a talent, and a gentleman is also a learner, and he will prepare for the use of the world and the country with his success.

This person is also known as a righteous person, and Lin Yanchao also wrote respectfully, if the seniors have anything to take home, the juniors can help along the way.

The third is Lu Kun, who is also a great sage, a great Confucian in science, and is currently the head of the household department.

However, Lu Kun was a Jinshi in the second year of Wanli, and he had no contact with Lin Yanchao, so he wrote to him out of politeness.

Next is Lin Yanchao in the same year.

Thinking of his name, Lin Yanchao couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth.

Yang Hao, a native of Shangqiu, Defu, was a Jinshi in the eighth year of Wanli, and was born in the top two hundred and twenty-four Jinshi.

Now Yang Hao is in Lixian County, Baoding, and is the county of Qipinzhi.

Yang Ho is in a bad situation now because there is no one in the court.

Born in the top three jinshi, and the ranking is so low, he can only go to Nanchang, Jiangxi when he is released, and he is a magistrate of the county.

Nanchang has not yet expired, and it was transferred to Lixian County, and it is still a positive seventh product to come and go.

In the past, when Lin Yanchao was Hanlin, he was the first nobleman in the same year, and Yang Hao also sent people to Jingdeng Mansion to greet him every year, and he also sent a lot of respects.

Originally, Yang Hao, a small county, although it was the same year, would not have much intersection with Lin Yanchao. But Lin Yanchao thought of Yang Hao, who was the only person in the same year who had seen his name in the history books before he crossed over, except for Gu Xiancheng, and couldn't help but pay more attention to him.

In any case, he is also one of the few people in the same year of this subject.

So every time Yang Hao sent someone to Jingdeng Mansion, Lin Yanchao met him in person. This inevitably flattered Yang Hao, who felt that Lin Yanchao treated him differently, and the two often exchanged letters.

Lin Yanchao went to Deren Tongzhi this time and wrote to Yang Hao, and the words in the letter were of course different from those written to Shen Li.

One is to ask Yang Hao if there is any place in his family that he wants to take care of, and the other is to ask if there are any locals who are familiar with local affairs to recommend a few to him as staff members and follow him for a long time.

In the era before the imperial examination, the imperial court sent officials to a place to serve as a county guard, and they had to recruit people from local wealthy families on the spot to serve as subordinate officials in the county.

It's the same now.

As far as Lin Yanchao knew, there were eight major families in Shangqiu: Shen, Song, Hou, Ye, Yu, Liu, Gao, and Yang.

It's all local Haoright.

Yang Hao's Yang family is one of the eight families of Shangqiu, and it can be regarded as a powerful local family, so take advantage of this relationship to worship the dock in advance.
