Chapter 94: Chen Pengnian
Yinzhen laughed in his heart, birds of feathers gather together, and this is true. Prince Zhuang Bo Guoduo should be the most disrespectful one. Although he is the prince with iron hat, he has no offspring. Just because he likes male style, he doesn't want to enter Prince Zhuang's rabbit nest, so he smiled and said, "Let's spare it today, drink a little higher."
Haishan knew what Yinzhen was taboo, so he hurriedly said, "Prince Zhuang has no children, and the New Year is not as deserted as the New Year, so he summoned a group of descendants of the royal family to gather together during the New Year to make a lively life." [.]
When I heard that there were many people and most of them were from the royal family, Yinzhen refused to go, "You two go and have fun, I will have to see people when I go home."
Seeing that Yinzhen refused to go, Haishan couldn't help but whisper: "Fourth brother, it's been more than a year. It's time to return the note to me. If you don't worry about laughing, I haven't slept well this year."
Yinzhen had no intention of controlling him, not to mention that he and his two brothers Mandu and Yongshou were both die-hard supporters of the Eighth Master Party. After hearing this, he smiled and said, "Okay, I'll call someone to come to the mansion tomorrow."
Haishan didn't expect that Yinzhen was so easy to talk to, so he immediately smiled and said, "I just said that the 14th brother won't make things difficult for my brother. Tomorrow, I'll come to the mansion to get it myself."
Longkodo had been waiting next to him for a long time and was anxious. After finally seeing Haishan finish speaking, he hurriedly came up, "Fourth Master..."
Yinzhen knew what he wanted to say, so he said first: "It's not a serious occasion, don't call me that. If you are my uncle, just call me fourteen. I believe fourteen is coming soon." As he said that, he smiled at the two of them, "Don't delay the meeting between you and see you back."
The two of them hurriedly bowed and said, "See you back." The expression on Longkodo's face was a little happier than Haishan. Haishan didn't know why he was happy, and asked Longkodo with a depressed look, "What, the Fourteenth Master gave you money?"
Longkodo's eyes slanted, "Can you have some promising prospects? All day long is just actors and money."
Hai Shan was so angry that his fat face was trembling, "What are you so good at? Are you better than me?"
As soon as Yinzhen returned to the mansion, Bao Fuquan came to report, "Master, Customs Supervisor Chen Pengnian, and Zheng Shichang's second son Zheng Qinghai was waiting in the living room."
When Yinzhen heard this, he did not dare to neglect. He hurriedly washed up and rushed to the living room. As soon as he entered the living room, Chen Pengnian and Zheng Haiqing came up and greeted him respectfully. The three of them sat down. Yinzhen smiled at Chen Pengnian and said, "It looks good, you haven't suffered?"
Yinzhen's words made Chen Pengnian feel hot in his eyes. In July, he was ordered by Kangxi to submit him to the Nine Ministers for strict discussion. In August, he was discharged from Beijing. The Ministry of Justice prison was for five months. He was originally from Xiangtan, Hunan and has been working in other places. His family and relatives were in Jiangnan. He had no acquaintances in Beijing. Zhang Penghong was also far away in Jiangnan. Although he did not suffer any major losses in prison, he was cynical and sarcastic every day, and was inevitably mocked and rotten.
Finally, he finally agreed to send him to garrison Heilongjiang, but Kangxi refused. This came and dragged him down. Although the attitude of the prison guards in the prison improved, he had no money to manage his life, so his life was naturally extremely difficult. It was not until early this morning that a group of officials greeted him respectfully, and he realized that he was not only not punished, but was promoted to the third-rank customs supervisor.
After asking carefully, I found out that the court had established the General Administration of Customs. It is said that the Fourteenth Master, who was the chief supervisor of the General Administration of Customs, personally asked the emperor for his request. He hurriedly refused the invitation of the officials, washed carefully, and rushed over to thank him.
Yinzhen's question touched Chen Pengnian's sadness. He stood up and bowed respectfully, "The prince's kindness is rebuilt, and the subordinates cannot repay him. They can only do their best to repay him with great kindness."
Yinzhen himself had also experienced the jail disaster. He knew the darkness inside, so he comforted him with a gentle voice: "It's good if I come out. Even if I don't protect you, the emperor will protect you. I have heard of you in Shanghai. He is an honest official, skilled in government affairs, and good at practical work. He asked you for this time and wanted you to serve as the supervisor of Jiang Customs. Everything in customs has systems and business is not complicated. However, I have a big stall in Shanghai, so you still need to worry more." As he said that, Yinzhen took out a silver note with a denomination of 1,000 taels and handed it over, "Rest with me for a few days, and come back to Jiangnan after the beginning of the New Year. You are not generous now, so take this thousand taels of silver first."
Chen Pengnian is indeed asking for money to settle it now, and he is not polite. He bows and takes it over, "Thank you, Prince, to be considerate."
Yinzhen then looked at Zheng Qinghai and said with a smile: "You can prepare too. Follow me to Jiangnan at the beginning of the year and bring a family. In addition, if you have a good ethics, you might as well bring some."
The next morning, Yinzhen brought some gifts to the Hope Yixue School to visit the students who were left behind in Beijing. As the number of students recruited by Hope Yixue School increased, the reputation of Hope Yixue also spread. It was said that it was planned by the 14th prince Yinzhen, and some scholars with difficulties in their livelihoods began to gradually accept the employment. Bai Ziyun gradually invited many gentlemen. During the Spring Festival holiday, the nearby gentlemen went home for the New Year. The missionaries also took the opportunity to go to the capital to preach or visit. Only six other scholars left in Yixue School were studying hard to prepare for the upcoming autumn examination.
Yinzhen's arrival surprised several people. Bai Ziyun, Yang Min, Ding Shan, Pan Xiang, Wu'anbang, and Song Shifan came forward to greet each other one by one. Yinzhen gave Bao Fuquan a red envelope to everyone, and then delivered the fish and meat that Dachun brought to the kitchen. Then he smiled and said, "I hope that Yixue will be more than a year in a flash. How do you get along with Western missionaries? What are your experiences?"
Among the few people, Yang Min was outstanding in both knowledge and eloquence. Hearing this, he went forward and replied: "I have been with Western missionaries for more than a year. The students believe that Western students are pragmatic, and they are more thorough in studying things than us. The attitude of learning is more rigorous, but they are far inferior to us in governing the world."
Song Shifan also said, "They are better than us in applying what they have learned and are good at applying what they have in their books to life."
Wu'anbang: "Most of them have broad knowledge, broad vision and profound knowledge."
"Well, you can see other people's strengths, and you can also see your own strengths, and make progress." Yinzhen said with a smile: "What I lack now is rigorous and pragmatic talents. The rigorous and pragmatic attitude of Western missionaries is exactly what most of us scholars lack at the moment. Doing learning is not rote memory. The important thing is to master the learning methods, learn to think, be brave to question, and be diligent in doing things. Only in this way can we surpass Westerners in a comprehensive way. You should pay special attention to cultivating these aspects of children when teaching in the future."
"Students respect the prince's teachings." Several people replied.
Yinzhen has been famous in the court and the people over the past year. Several people have long admired him. Ding Shan, like Bai Ziyun, has little confidence in the Qiuwei. Seeing that it was an opportunity, he hurriedly said: "Prince, the students are very interested in shipbuilding since childhood. It's better not to take the Qiuwei exam. The students are willing to follow the prince to go to the shipyard in Shanghai to have a good experience. I hope the prince will fulfill it."
Yinzhen did not answer immediately. He also hoped that during the examination, these people could help him pick up some more. After pondering for a moment, he said: "You are all poor children who have studied hard for ten years. They have good character and ambitions. They are in their prime. Although my subordinates lack talents, they have never thought about using you. Do you know why?
I want you to get along with Western missionaries more, that is, you want you to learn more about their strengths. Not only is this king short of people, but the entire Qing Dynasty lacks people, especially rigorous and pragmatic talents, talents who study things and have comprehensive knowledge. You are the seeds of this king. No matter what field you enter in the future, I hope you can set an example and spread this trend. So, don’t be anxious, don’t worry about not having a background, calm down and study, think, and accumulate are your most urgent tasks."
Just when Yinzhen was having a chat with a few scholars at Hope Yixue, a big trouble happened in Shanghai. Shanghai Naval Academy broke out on the first day of holiday.
