Chapter 449: The Wind and the Waves Rise

Historically, the person who dared to say "no" to Wei Zhongxian at the peak of power must be a person who has his own ideals, ideas, and a bottom line for his own life, and is a person who dares to persist and is not afraid of power.

This kind of person can't be wooed by power, nor can he be co-opted with silver, more importantly, he has to be co-opted from the big truth, from his concept, as long as he does what he thinks is right, this kind of person does not need to be wooed by you, he naturally follows you, he represents a group of people who have such ideas and persistence in the DPRK and China, so it is worth working him and winning him over, and many "centrists" in the DPRK and China will stand on their side.

"I see that Shifu is an honest person, I have something here, Shifu will look at ......" Yang Gai handed a piece to Lin Zhu.

Lin Zhu took it respectfully, looking puzzled.

What the? One Mongolian school in one township, expand county schools, and strive to let all children in the world go to school? Lin Zhu was already stunned! Is the emperor crazy? It's crazy, all the children in the world are enrolled in school, this kind of whimsical idea, Lin Zhu in addition to admiration, just feel crazy, Lin Zhu looked at the emperor in horror, the emperor is good, not crazy! Could it be that you are crazy?

"Your Majesty, this is really ......, it's too huge...... Your Majesty's heart is good, but the minister also thinks that with so many expenses, how can Your Majesty support it?" Lin Zhu's heart beat wildly, calmed down hard, and then spoke.

"Hehe, everyone in the world can recognize my wish, didn't the sage keep saying, the world is the same? But I think that the premise of the great harmony of the world is that everyone must be able to read and write, otherwise, they don't even know the words and don't even know who the saint is. I have always regarded sacred learning as the foundation of governing the country, so I will never forget the teachings of the saints, so I thought, in order to achieve the great harmony of the world, first of all, the people of the world must be literate, and all the people in the world are literate, so we have to build more schools, I dare not say that everyone can be literate at once, but I can start from the doll, so that all children can be literate, so that in the next few decades, the dream of all people in the world can be literate, it is not impossible to realize, and this is one step closer to the world harmony that the saint said,...... Hehe, I also know that this plan is very huge, so huge that I can't support it, I don't want to support the whole world all the children can afford to read, but it can also be gradually improved, one by one, one today, one tomorrow, through ten years is a few decades of time, gradually complete my plan, as the saying goes, ten years of trees, a hundred years of people, I think, I have a lifetime, may not be able to realize this wish...... "Yang reform is a long story.

Lin Zhu was moved when he heard that, didn't he say that the emperor had always disliked sacred learning? Why did the emperor have such a deep understanding of sacred learning? He also made such a grand wish, in order to carry forward the sacred learning, and was willing to provide all the schoolchildren in the world to study, which has to be said to be a great aspiration, a great good thing, and a great madness.

"Your Majesty is really the Son of Heaven, and the people of the world know that Your Majesty has such a grand wish, and they must be grateful to Dade, and Your Majesty has paid too much for Shengxue. …… However, the minister had to say, Your Majesty, this cost is too huge, even if Your Majesty has money and claims to be good at managing money, but the minister has to prevent Your Majesty from doing this, Your Majesty, this is a huge amount of expenditure that needs to be consumed every year, Your Majesty has ever thought about it, how much silver taels does this cost? Lin Zhu was deeply moved by the emperor's ambition, but he also felt that the emperor was too naïve, too whimsical, and too crazy.

"Hehe, in fact, I have calculated, based on my Ming population, it is indeed not easy to spend tens of millions of schoolchildren every year to study, just to cultivate it, I am afraid that it will cost tens of millions of ......,......, hehe, even if I have money, it is indeed difficult to sustain it" Yang Gai admitted with a smile, indeed, in a feudal society with underdeveloped material civilization, education for all is just a fantasy, of course, this posture must be sufficient.

"Yes! Your Majesty, this is really too difficult, Your Majesty's heart, the minister can understand and understand, but everything has to be done according to your ability! Lin Zhu also frightened the emperor's account, 10 million people read every year, this kind of thing, absolutely worthy of being called a grand event, absolutely unimaginable spectacular scene, but, that is obviously impossible, just the teacher's bundle of cultivation, it will have to be tens of millions of taels, this year the emperor has engaged in a disaster relief of 10 million taels of silver, it is already known as the ancients, no one after the future, it is already breathtaking, if the emperor can take tens of millions of taels of silver for the world to read, this ......, good is good, but it is inevitably too unrealistic, Lin Zhu thought so. ,

"Yes! This is really too difficult, I don't plan to do it all at once, my expenses this year are too great, disaster relief went there 10 million taels of silver, the north of the war pay, and went to millions of taels, this year I'm afraid it won't work......, I plan to invest money year by year, build more schools, and include more people in universal education, if it doesn't work in one year, it will be five years, and if it doesn't work in five years, it will be ten years, and I will invest more money in education year by year, until I complete my goal, and all the schoolchildren in the world will be enrolled in the church, so as long as I persist for more than ten years, For decades, my ambition may not be unrealized! Yang Gengai smiled, deliberately mentioning how much money he spent this year.

Lin Zhu was moved, listening to the emperor's tone, that is quite enthusiastic about running a school, spreading the concept of sainthood, and spreading saints, if a previous emperor told him this, he may not have much hope, he can squeeze out hundreds of thousands of taels from the emperor's small amount of gold and silver, that is quite a try, but now this emperor is different, the silver in his hand is known as boundless, this year didn't he get a million taels of silver for disaster relief? This is not counted, but also in the north and the east of the fierce fight, I heard, did not spend less money, mobilized more than 100,000 horses, I heard that spent millions of taels of silver, so calculated, if there is no disaster relief, no war, perhaps, the emperor can free up millions of taels of silver, or even tens of millions of taels of silver to run a school, if so, not to mention that the whole world of schoolchildren can enter the hall to study, then at least you can get a seven, seven, eighty, eight, or eight, if so, then it is really the same in the world, Lin Zhu suddenly figured it out.

Lin Zhu was moved, his eyes were already shining, and he said: "Your Majesty is really great perseverance and perseverance!" With such perseverance and perseverance on the part of Your Majesty, the sacred science will surely be carried forward in the hands of Your Majesty, and the world will not be unexpected! …… In fact, the minister feels that if he can get millions of taels of silver every year, His Majesty's grand wish can be regarded as a realization of seventy-seven eighty-eight, which is enough to highlight His Majesty's great achievements, and the holy study will definitely reach the peak in our dynasty! Your Majesty will also become the first emperor of the ages......"

"Hahaha......" Yang Reform laughed, sure enough, people like Lin Zhu still have their own ideals and ideas, and they only show some gestures slightly, and this one hits the snake with the stick and puts himself on the back.

"Shifu is right, I am in the sacred learning, that is fully supported, this year my silver has been spent on disaster relief and war, next year I plan to think of a way, make a big deal, save a few million taels, specially used to carry forward the sacred learning, set up schools throughout the country, so that everyone has a book to read, a few million taels is less, however, when the year is a little better, there is no need to spend the silver on disaster relief, perhaps, it is not impossible to move out a million taels, so, my dream of world harmony, maybe not a utopian dream, Shifu thinks?" Yang Reform released the bait again, and gradually increased the weight from millions of taels to tens of millions of taels, Yang Reform wanted to believe that Lin Zhu could not ignore these millions of taels of silver, as an official who still had ideals and his own thoughts, he would not easily give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, after all, no emperor was willing to take out tens of millions of taels of silver for education and carry forward any sacred learning.

"Your Majesty is really a ......" Lin Zhu looked at the emperor who was talking, and his heart was already salivaing, it seemed that this emperor was not talking nonsense, let alone lying, if he could invest 10 million taels of silver to run a school every year, Lin Zhu could no longer imagine what kind of scene it was, Lin Zhu was almost eager to try.

"Alas, I think so, but I also know that this is unlikely, I don't even know who is going to do this for me now, this is a big move of millions of taels of silver, if it is not a person, wouldn't it be a mistake for me?" Yang Reform said again.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty, the minister is willing to recommend himself to do this thousand years of prosperity for His Majesty, I don't know if Your Majesty can trust the minister? Lin Zhu has already moved his heart, in the face of millions of taels of silver for running a school, in the face of tens of millions of taels of silver in the future, how can he refuse this kind of prosperity that pushes sacred learning to the extreme?

"Is Shifu really willing to help me?" Yang Genghe asked unexpectedly, but he couldn't laugh in his heart, sure enough, if you want to win over this faction, you only need to do this, if you can have something that suits their appetite and meets their ideals, they will definitely stand on their side. ,

"Your Majesty, the minister is willing!" Lin Zhu is already fantasizing about the appearance of this rare prosperous era in a thousand years, if he is presided over by Lin Zhu, this is undoubtedly the most proud thing in his life.

"Good! Since Shifu recommended himself, I am also optimistic about Shifu, so it is decided, Shifu needs to have a basic plan, but also how to implement the steps, calculate how much silver is needed every year, how much manpower and material resources are used, in this way, Shifu draw up a preliminary plan, and then report that I came here in the form of a song, and after the discussion of the ministers, I will allocate the silver, set up a yamen, and then implement it concretely, how do Shifu think? Yang Gengai said with a smile.

"Command!" Lin Zhu has been overjoyed, and millions of taels of silver have been invested in holy learning! What kind of grand spectacle is this? How many schoolchildren do you have to support to study?

"In addition, I feel that this matter is too grandiose, Shifu may not be able to do it alone, Shifu can invite some like-minded people to jointly consult this matter, of course, Shifu should pay attention, promote sacred learning, teach and educate people, and spread knowledge is a sacred, hard thing, we must not let those who sell fame, greedy for enjoyment, and fight for power and profit participate, otherwise, with the level of drifting in our dynasty, it is not easy to use thirty percent of the millions of taels of silver, and it is too far from my expectations, Shifu can understand?" Yang Reform said with a smile, this Lin Zhu is really hooked, let him make such a huge education plan, he must gather a group of "like-minded" people to participate, all say that the smell is like, as soon as this plan is launched, a group of centrists will be ironclad tied to their side, all looking at the millions of taels of silver to run the school, what will happen in the future, you must stand on your side, otherwise, the millions of taels of silver will not float? Isn't this once-in-a-lifetime prosperous era gone, and isn't the good name of this thousand-year-old reputation gone?

"Command!" Lin Zhu kowtowed excitedly. What the emperor said he understood was that this plan was too huge, and if it was implemented in the future, it would be even more amazing, and he would definitely not be able to do it alone, so he naturally had to find someone to help.

"In addition, I still want to talk about it, but don't say that it was me who proposed it, just say that Shifu had a whim and wanted to do this, and don't say anything about the Qianqing Palace today, understand?" Yang Reform said again.

"This! Your Majesty, isn't that minister greedy for heaven, and the minister doesn't dare. Lin Zhu refused.

"Ugh! Shifu doesn't need to be like this, I trusted Shifu to let Shifu do it, if it was someone else, I might not say this, hehe, this court, has never been a courtier, I criticize? If I bring it up, people in the world still think that I want to buy a good name with silver, hehe, this is not beautiful, can I understand? Of course, Yang Reform has to put this credit on Lin Zhu's head, with this great credit, this Lin Zhu is not the imperial party but also the imperial party, and the centrists who followed Lin Zhu to run education can be regarded as having anything to do with the imperial party.

"Your Majesty is virtuous, it is difficult for the minister to look at his back, the minister understands His Majesty's painstaking efforts, and the minister obeys the order!" Lin Zhu was so moved that the emperor was willing to give up this great credit for himself in order to promote sacred learning and for the sake of the students of the world, and this kind of mind was really broad.

"Hehe, okay, I won't stay more Shifu, Shifu will go back early, work out this plan as soon as possible, and then gather like-minded people to revise, discuss, improve, and then jointly play a sparse, hehe, I will pass it here, we monarchs and ministers, we must do great things, and we will surprise the government and the opposition! To make this sacred science, which has not changed much in the past two thousand years...... "Yang Gaijian caught a big fish, so he no longer kept people, and a few words of encouragement drove Lin Zhu away.

"Command! This thousand-year-old event, the sacred learning of the past, will surely be carried forward in the hands of Your Majesty. Lin Zhu jī was very moved, and Lang Lang kowtowed thanks.

……

Lin Zhu left happily, and Yang Reform was also happy. Watching another political force fall to his side, he grinned with joy.

"Your Majesty......" Wang Chengen came in, poured a cup of tea for the emperor with a smile, the conversation between the emperor and Lin Zhu just now, he heard it clearly, and knew what the emperor was for, the greater the emperor's chances of winning, the happier he was.

……

This turmoil also immediately set off huge waves in Beijing.

A Guozi priest claimed to formulate a plan for millions of taels of silver every year, to promote sacred learning, and to teach and educate people, and he also constantly united with some prestigious people, and I heard that this plan was constantly being revised, and after I heard that it was going to be played to the emperor and let the emperor approve it. ,

The world is crazy, it's crazy. Millions of taels of silver every year for running a school! Isn't the brain of the priest of this country broken? How much was the annual treasury income of the Ming Dynasty? How dare he think so? Just dare to do it.

The streets and alleys, the teahouse wine pipe, immediately talked about this matter.

This teahouse, because the emperor seems to have been there, has become a place where scholars and literati from near and far like to come. Although there are few opportunities to meet the emperor's micro-service travel, there is always a chance.

"I heard that Lin madman is crazy, a good Guozi priest doesn't do wine, but what kind of school-running plan is going to be made, I heard, that group of people have big hearts, saying that all schoolchildren in the world must have books to read, I heard, just the annual school-running silver, there are millions of taels......" In this teahouse, everyone drank tea while talking about the latest talk of the Beijing teacher, that is, Lin Zhu's school-running plan.

"Humph! This is for the sake of sacred learning, in order to spread the knowledge of saints, Lord Lin is asking for the life of the people of the world, for the people of the world, for the holy learning, the court is asking for such a good official, I think if Your Majesty can agree and allocate the silver, this is my dynasty, no, it is the grandest thing in the history of sacred studies for thousands of years! A man who looked like a scholar said unevenly.

"Brother Lin, it's not that Lord Lin shouldn't have done it, it's just that it's too unbelievable, isn't it too unbelievable, where in the world are there millions of taels of silver to run a school? No, no, no, no, where is this silver found? Can I get so much silver? The man who had spoken earlier immediately changed his words.

"Why not? If your Majesty can take out 10 million taels of silver for disaster relief, you may not be able to take out millions of taels of silver to run a school, this is the way of spreading the saints, and this is a prosperous era that has not been seen for thousands of years. The person known as Brother Lin is very optimistic about Lin Zhu.

"Brother Lin, this is a good point, Lord Lin is going to do the school plan, and it has been rumored for so long, and I haven't seen any movement in the palace, maybe, Your Majesty will not stop it and I don't know, maybe, Lord Lin will do it now, this is really a rare event in a thousand years! It's something I've never done in 200 years! A person next to him also sighed.

"My father was fortunate to participate in the plan that Lord Lin formulated, and I also knew some about the plan, I heard my father say that this plan is very huge, but the design of more than ten years, it is decades later, it is said that the ultimate goal is that all the schoolchildren in the world can, Lord Lin, their goal is to let everyone in the world read and write, with the ultimate goal of the world's great harmony, which is millions of taels of silver every year, but it is the beginning, in fact, the real complete plan, it takes tens of millions of taels of silver every year." A scholar on the side also broke the news.
