Zhang Pu came to Nanjing by boat, and soon learned the details, so he ran to find Qian Qianyi.
Qian Qianyi picked up the monocle in front of his chest, and said with great interest: "Heavenly, this thing is called glasses, which came from the western countries. I asked craftsmen to polish more than ten pairs, and only three pairs are suitable for use. Let's give it away today." Look at you, you can wear it to read someday when your old eyes are dizzy."
"The shepherd," Zhang Pu said, cupping his hands, "tonight, I will meet you at night, and it will be a matter of canonization as king of Wu."
Qian Qianyi not only has presbyopia, but also seems to be deaf. Pointing to the glasses, he continued: "Although these things belong to the small way, they also benefit scholars a lot. Come and see, the small lenses can make the handwriting Get bigger."
Zhang Pu said more and more anxiously: "Master, glasses are a small matter, but society is a big one!"
Qian Qianyi said: "Glasses are really small, but they are very useful. I plan to hire a few craftsmen to make them specialize in grinding lenses, and maybe open a glasses shop in Nanjing. The glass is also easy to find. Jingdezhen not only produces porcelain, Glass has also started to be produced in recent years. Not only Jingdezhen, but Yuanzhou also produces glass. I heard that Luling County"
"Shepherd!"
Zhang Pu couldn't help shouting: "It's about King Wu!"
Qian Qianyi said with a smile: "In addition to glasses, I also bought a pair of binoculars"
"Farewell!" Zhang Pu was so angry that he wanted to hit someone, he held back his anger and walked away.
Qian Qianyi put down his glasses, walked to the yard to bask in the sun, and asked the maid to bring peanuts and rice wine.
How pleasant this day is, why do you want to make yourself unhappy?
In the Imperial Academy of Ming Dynasty, doctors belong to the weak, and bachelors belong to the big guys.
Zhao Han's Imperial Academy is just the opposite, from low to high: bachelor, master, doctor, academician.
When "Datong Zhengyin" is compiled, people like Liu Rushi can get the title of bachelor.
As for Qian Qianyi, he was awarded a master's degree directly by Zhao Han, and there will be doctors and academicians who can be promoted in the future. Although an academician has no rank, his salary is equivalent to that of a second-rank official, which is definitely a noble position in Qian Qianyi's view.
Although you cannot directly become a government official, if you really want to be an official, you can lower your salary and release it to others.
Qian Qianyi doesn't plan to let it out, he wants to be an academician of the Imperial Academy, he will have a great face wherever he goes, and he can leave his name in history.
Facing the founding monarch like Zhao Han, Qian Qianyi did not dare to take power, and was content with his face.
"There is nothing in the world, and mediocre people are disturbing themselves. Zhang Ximing still can't see clearly." Qian Qianyi sipped the wine with peanuts, tapped his fingers on the stone table, and began to hum a little song happily.
Zhang Pu left Qian Qianyi's house angrily, waved for a taxi, and went to Chen Danzhong's house in a sedan chair.
The people of Fushe lost their minds, and Zhang Pu had nothing to do about it.
Competent Fushe scholars were either directly recruited by Zhao Han, or went to work as officials, or simply concentrated on business.
Among the three leaders of Fushe, Zhang Cai was an official in Anhui, and Wu Yingji was even promoted by Zhao Hanchao.
Zhang Pu is the only one left!
Although Zhang Cai is Zhang Pu's elder brother and is known as the "two Zhangs of Fushe" by the world, Zhang Cai did not participate in the establishment of Fushe, and hardly participated in the activities of Fushe.
It was purely at the beginning of the establishment of Fushe that Zhang Cai's reputation was used for publicity.
In recent years, Zhang Cai has been working as a hard-working official, imitating Wang Yangming's establishment of township covenants and Baojia, and recruiting refugees to farm, and setting up Changping warehouses to relieve victims.
However, the cooperative founded by Zhang Cai is still regarded as a branch of Fushe, and he has always held a tacit attitude towards this.
?The ideas of the two Zhangs were different. Fushe absorbed a large number of rich and noble scholars, but the cooperative mainly consisted of poor scholars.
Zhang Cai did not even distinguish between high and low, and accepted a house slave (shutong) as his disciple, and he was also a house slave of another family.
This made orthodox scholars uncomfortable, and Wang Shimin came forward to obstruct it. Zhang Cai first helped the house slave escape, and then paid for it himself to remove the humble status for his disciple.
Nowadays, all the scholars of the cooperative have gone to be officials, and some members are even serving as officials.
This is a great force, even Zhao Han doesn't know it.
More than 300 members of the cooperative, all of whom are disciples of Zhang Cai, are now all Datong officials. These guys are very capable of doing things, and they are naturally promoted quickly. Including Zhang Cai, there are already three people at the magistrate level.
However, many of Zhang Pu's rehabilitated scholars were officials, but they had long since become a mess.
"Sir, what does the shepherd say?" Chen Danzhong asked hastily.
Zhang Pu sighed: "Pretending to be deaf and dumb, Qian Muweng has always been like this, how can I expect him to help?"
Li Yiyuan said: "Emperor Chongzhen married the princess and canonized the king of Wu.Because it is ordered by the people, those with merit and virtue live there. To be ordered by the people is to follow the benevolent government, which is in line with the way of Confucius and Mencius, which is the ultimate principle of Confucianism. Those who win the hearts of the people will get the destiny of heaven, and those who inherit the sky will respond to the people. Only when people have the hearts of the people can they be favored by destiny. Instead of having the destiny first, you can win the hearts of the people. Emperor Hongwu won the hearts of the people, and he had his own destiny to help him. Emperor Chongzhen originally had the destiny, but he lost the hearts of the people, and the destiny abandoned it. "
"Haha, that's the reason." Zhao Han laughed.
In Zhang Pu's works, the monarchy, popular support, and destiny are unified.
Zhang Pu asked: "Since the king is ordered by the people, how can the king restrain the people and harm the people?"
"Constitution making." Zhao Han said.
"Constitution?" Zhang Pu didn't understand.
Zhao Han explained: "It is to formulate a "Constitution" to restrict the powers and responsibilities of the monarch. As for the content of the "Constitution", I haven't figured it out yet, and you can discuss it."
The "Constitution" that Zhao Han wants to formulate is by no means a capitalist constitution, let alone a constitutional monarchy like the UK.
The emperor under Zhao Han's "Constitution" has great power, far greater than the German emperor after the constitution.
It is precisely because he is unwilling to give up too much power, to prevent being ostracized by officials, and to prevent the country from being usurped by businessmen, so Zhao Han has been unable to determine the specific content for a long time.
