Chapter 410: The disciples of the Zheng family

Lenan's academy is still named Zhengxiang Academy. Before Zheng Xuan arrived in Lenan, Chen Shuo had already built a huge academy on the mountain in the south of Lenan City, facing the sea and behind the mountain. Of course, this was also agreed by Fang Zhiwen.

Zheng Xuan went from the sea to Lenan, and Chen Keng also rushed from Lelang City to welcome the teacher. With the Chen brothers and brothers, there were naturally local officials and gentry. Zheng Xuan refused to welcome and sent him, and moved directly into the newly built academy. After settling down, Zheng Xuan started teaching at the third day. From this point of view, Zheng Xuan was a very pure scholar...

Lin Wenzhi had the same temperament and only wrote a letter to congratulate him, but he had no intention of coming to Le Nan at all. The two of them were quite similar.

Guoyuan, Zhao Shang, Xi Lu and many other fellow disciples all followed Zheng Xuan to Lenan. The primary reason was to continue following the teacher, and the secondary reason was to avoid disaster.

Shortly after arriving in Lenan, Zheng Xuan's students discovered Lenan's uniqueness. Naturally, the Chen brothers were credited with it, but more lies in the policies and administrative structure implemented by Lenan.

The biggest feature of Lenan, which is actually the characteristic of Miyun and Fengning, is contractualization! Everything is subject to contract, and the gods are responsible for arbitration. This model is actually the most commonly used method in urban management of all players, because it saves a lot of management costs and also simplifies and standardizes management.

Fang Zhiwen goes a step further. Even if the official corvee and taxes are carried out in the form of a contract, and if you make a contract in advance and then implement it, it becomes very simple to deal with things and make mistakes. The management of the official is not only daily affairs. The most important thing is to make a contract in advance, that is, legislation.

The Western Han Dynasty worshipped Huang and Lao, governed the country with the natural form of society, respected Confucianism in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and regulated and guided social forms with etiquette and law. Therefore, Zheng Xuan praised Lenan's governance. Of course, the facts are also in front of him. Lenan is definitely at the level of the city where the Qingzhou clans were rampant and the giant merchants monopolized.

With the praise of the teacher, the model of the Chen brothers, the junior brothers of the same school, coupled with such a relatively fair political structure, Zheng Xuan's proud disciples had the idea of ​​stretching their ideals and ambitions in their hearts.

Chen Shuo, who was urging by Fang Zhiwen all day long, naturally noticed this very keenly.

Guoyuan's courtesy name Zini was praised as a national artifact by Zheng Xuan, Xi Lu's courtesy name Hongyu, and Zheng Xuan praised as a master of classics by Zheng Xuan, and Zhao Shang's courtesy name Zisheng, and Zheng Xuan called him a erudite scholar. What's worse is that Zhao Shang had a little stuttering, but Zhao Shang was the most close disciple with Zheng Xuan.

Of course, there are other students such as Leng Gang, Sun Hao, Wang Zan, Chongjing, Chongao, etc., whose knowledge and abilities are slightly worse.

Chen Keng didn't know what this meant to Fang Zhiwen after so many Zheng Xuan's subordinates had the idea of ​​becoming an official. What he was worried about was that after his group of people were filled with Fang Zhiwen's subordinates, they would become a rather worrying party group, just like the party members were worried about today.

To be honest, these people have good feelings for each other when they are from the same school. If they form political alliances, they can indeed influence the decisions of the Lord. This kind of political group will soon combine with the seeking of rent for interests and form a new powerful family. Perhaps, this situation is not what the Lord is willing to see.

Although Fang Zhiwen has always been looking forward to Zheng Xuan’s elites to use for him, when this expectation really becomes a reality and there are too many people who want to become officials, perhaps this is not just a good thing.

But Chen Keng was no longer concerned, but he could not replace Fang Zhiwen's decision. Chen Keng had asked the teacher's opinion implicitly before, and Zheng Xuan just replied that he was not in his position and did not do anything, so that Chen Keng understood that this matter should not be a matter of his concern, but should be considered by the lord Fang Zhiwen. At the same time, this matter was also an investigation by Zheng Xuan's subordinates and Zheng Xuan of Fang Zhiwen, or the torture of all the civil officials of Miyun and others.

"Yuan Hao, what do you think after reading Fuxi's letter?"

Tian Feng placed the letter on the desk table, holding a teacup, drinking while looking at the letter with his eyes squinted. He heard Fang Zhiwen's question and smiled and said, "Lord, the guardian of Fengning City is Cui Deru, Qinghekou Port is Cui Jigui, Lelang is Chen Zhengfeng, and Lenan is Chen Fuxi. If Feng expected it was not bad, the lord plans to open another city in the south of Lelang County. It is estimated that the lord belongs to the lord. In this way, the lord's city is basically in the hands of the disciples of the Zheng family. Isn't the lord afraid?"

Fang Zhiwen blinked and said, "Do you think I should be afraid?"

"Since you are a fellow disciple, you will take care of each other. Since you are an official, you will naturally compete for profit for your family, form a party for the sake of officials, and form a clan for the sake of politics. The political structure of Miyun is the most important thing to make a covenant. If all the covenants become party groups, aren't the lord afraid that these contracts will go astray?"

If Tian Feng had said this before, he would definitely not have said that, because this statement actually questioned the character of officials. The famous children of this era valued character the most. If Tian Feng's words were spread, they would definitely offend a large number of people. However, from this, we can also see Tian Feng's character. He really said whatever he thought of, which was indeed very straightforward.

Fang Zhiwen nodded silently, but his expression was very relaxed. He turned his head and looked at Tai Shi Zhaorong beside him. Seeing her confused and curious, he finally did not ask her for her opinion. This girl still knows very superficially about political things.

Fang Zhiwen raised his hand and pointed to the entrance of the tent. Through the entrance, he could see the guards patrolling outside the tent.

"Yuan Hao, the situation in this army is similar to what you just said. The robes in the army are more emotional, and the factions in the army are even more difficult to eliminate. However, can this matter be changed? Or is it necessary to change? In order to prevent collusion between interests, the normal employment procedures are blocked, so the first thing that makes the mistake is myself."

Tian Feng's eyes flashed, and a seemingly unsightly smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "So, the lord plans to tolerate this kind of situation of rendezvousing."

Fang Zhiwen smiled and shook his head: "It's not tolerant, but to ignore it!"

Tian Feng said in surprise: "Why is this?"

"According to the employment procedures, those who are capable will go up to the mediocre, and they have done nothing wrong. Why do I interfere? But if they are favoritism and abuse of power, then there will naturally be corresponding rules to restrict and supervise them. You cannot make mistakes first because you are afraid that others will make mistakes. Therefore, I plan to return this letter without writing a word."

Fang Zhiwen gently tapped his finger on the desk table and replied confidently.

"But if the lord is vigilant in advance, it can also prevent some unnecessary situations. It is better to treat it when you are sick, so there is no prevention, right?"

"So, so people from Xilin Academy should also be of great use. In addition, Shi's Internal Affairs Department will increase the responsibilities of inspecting officials. Yuan Hao thinks this preventive measure is enough?"

Before Tian Feng could answer, Fang Zhiwen said slowly: "I am the highest point of making a covenant. In the future, when the entire Miyun force is signed, the military will be able to speak more."

Tian Feng smiled with a pursed lips. To be honest, the army is the backbone of the power. As long as the army is in hand, there is no need to worry too much about government affairs. Moreover, Fang Zhiwen was prepared for a long time. Such as the measures of reusing the Xilin Academy, recruiting officials from the people, and even hiring officials from strangers are all preparing for this kind of prevention.

Now Fang Zhiwen has proposed that the army will intervene in the formulation of the supreme constitution, which is the root of the civil servants. It sets an insurmountable last bottom line for those civil servants, and it also tells the governors from another perspective that the army is the premise and foundation of governance, and the army is absolutely loyal to Fang Zhiwen.

As the second-ranked figure in the military, Tian Feng was naturally very satisfied with Fang Zhiwen's statement and clear understanding.

"Since the lord has made a complete consideration, why bother to come again?"

"Haha, I want you to pick up the shortcomings! Besides, I heard from people that if you don't use your mind, you will become stupid. The military advisor has been leisurely and happy these days. I heard that the military advisor went fishing yesterday?"

"Hehe" After a long time of trouble, it turned out that Fang Zhiwen was jealous of Tian Feng's comfortable life. After camping yesterday, Tian Feng did go fishing with Xiangxiang: "Well, Feng still has information to deal with, so I'll leave first!"

Looking at Tian Feng's figure who was more agile than a rabbit, Fang Zhiwen snorted dissatisfiedly, tied Chen Keng's letter back to the pigeon's legs as it was, handed the pigeon to the guards and sent it out, and turned to Taishi Zhaorong and said, "Zhaorong, please accompany me to fish today!"

"Ah? Oh, okay! Brother Zhiwen, do you want to eat fish?"

"Well"

Chen Keng looked over and over with the letter he wrote. There was absolutely no other word on it. It was the letter he sent to his lord at that time. The lord sent it back to him intact. What does this mean?

Chen Keng, who was puzzled, slapped his head. There weren’t many smart people here. If you don’t understand, then ask!

"Senior brother, look, this is a letter I wrote to my lord, but the lord returned it to me intact. What do you think of the lord? Do you disagree with my statement?!"

When Chen Keng rushed to Zhengxiang Academy, he happened to meet Zhao Shang who was going out, so he directly pulled this smart man to the teahouse at the foot of the mountain. He didn't have to be polite with his senior brother, so Chen Keng went straight to the point.

Zhao Shang carefully read Chen Keng's letter. Chen Keng wrote in the letter that he wanted to activate the Zheng family's children, but was worried that the entire Lelang government affairs would be controlled by the Zheng family's children, which might have a bad impact, so he asked Fang Zhiwen in advance to ask him whether this matter could be done? However, Fang Zhiwen returned the letter to Chen Keng without saying a word, so Chen Keng was confused.

After a while, under Chen Keng's anxious gaze, Zhao Shang raised his eyes from the letter on the table, looked at Chen Keng with a calm and clear gaze, moved his lips, organized his words, and then spoke very slowly.

"You can understand this matter clearly. Lord Fang, how can you not understand it?"

"What does that mean? Senior brother, please tell me clearly!" Chen Keng asked dissatisfiedly. There was no way, but he still didn't understand the words of Senior brother. As for Senior brother's slow speech, there was no way.

"Ming, Mingyan means that Lord Fang invited me and invited the teacher to Lenan. How could I not dare to use it? Use us?"
