Section 335: The Road to Learning the Valve(1/2)
After sending Liu Ju back to the prince's palace, Zhang Yue returned to his mansion in Chang'an, planning to stay for one night, and would go back to Xinfeng early tomorrow morning.
As for Liu Jin, I'm afraid he'll have to stay in Chang'an for a little longer.
After all, if something big happens, you have to help Liu Ju wipe his butt clean, at least you won’t smell the odor.
As soon as he entered the house, Tian He immediately brought his servants and servants to welcome him, and said respectfully: "Welcome the lord back to the house..."
Zhang Yue put on the wooden clogs handed over by Tian He, moved his feet, which had not had a good rest for a day or two, raised his eyes and looked at the situation at home, and was very satisfied.
However, in a few days, the mansion had been taken care of by the Tian brothers, and it looked orderly.
Just listened to Tian He's report: "The days when the lord is not in Chang'an, several guests have come to visit..."
He took out a few gilded prayer letters from his arms and presented them to Zhang Yue: "These are the guests' prayers, so please check them out..."
Zhang Yue took it and took it in his hand and looked at it.
Basically, they were all greetings sent by wealthy businessmen and nobles in Chang'an City, saying that they wanted to invite Zhang Yue to their mansion to sit down. In fact, to put it bluntly, they wanted to make friends with each other.
It belongs to the form of a wide-scattered network, which is also the normal ecology of Chang'an.
There are always a few families who like to scatter prayers everywhere. Anyway, the prayers are not valuable. If they are really invited, they will make a fortune, right?
But usually, the only end of these prayers is to be thrown into the garbage dump.
Zhang Yue is no exception. After scanning the contents of the visitation post, he threw it back to Tian He: "In the future, these families will come to send the visitation posts again, so they can just reply with kind words, and there is no need to send it to me again..."
The gatherings held by these people and them were actually the best place for the upstarts in Chang'an City to be familiar with the environment and adapt to the environment.
If Zhang Yue first entered Chang'an, he might have tried to participate a few times, take a look at the wine pool and meat forest of the nobles in Chang'an, and get familiar with the various unspoken rules in this fame and fortune market.
But now he no longer needs it!
He has already left the novice village. With his status, he will go to a similar banquet again. To put it bluntly, he will lose his value!
"No!" Tian He bowed respectfully, then hesitated and hesitated to report: "In addition, there is something I don't know if I should tell my lord..."
"Say..." Zhang Yue walked to the swing in the yard, sat on it, and let the swing sway gently.
"That is... After the lord left the capital, many scholars handed over their writings and poems to the mansion..." Tian He lowered his head, stood in front of Zhang Yue, and asked for instructions: "The villain did not dare to let these common things disturb the lord Qingjing, so he found a room to contain these writings and poems and poems..."
When Zhang Yue heard this, he suddenly opened his eyes, looked at Tian He and said, "In the future, someone will submit his writings and poems, so that they can leave their names and addresses..."
"Tell them: On the day I return, I should read it myself!"
"Lord..." Tian He was a little confused.
Even if he is just a new retainer in Chang'an City, how to manage family affairs and provide new members for the lord, it is clear how many frustrated literati and scholars in Chang'an City want to cling to noble people and embark on the road to the sky!
It is no exaggeration to say that there are at least thousands!
These people take time every month to submit writings and poems at the doors of all noble houses in Chang'an City.
There are talents, but very few.
Therefore, when he was ordered to take charge of this mansion for the lord, he specifically consulted his neighbor's retainers, knowing that under normal circumstances, the only consequence of these people who submitted scripts and poems was to be burned by their servants as firewood.
But, looking at the expression of his lord, he immediately bowed respectfully: "No!"
"The villain knows..."
But I was a little worried. If news came out of this Zhang Mansion, I might have to arrange two servants at the door to specifically accept and record the submitted articles, the book scripts, names, and addresses of scholars who wrote poems and essays.
"He..." Zhang Yue looked at Tian He intently. In fact, brothers Tian He and brothers Li Miao had long told him that they would change their surname to Zhang, so that the retainers would be the same as their master's surname in line with the unspoken rules of today's society.
It was just that Zhang Yue stopped him. He was destined to take on the banner of justice that would be anti-slaves and annexes, so he naturally set an example.
But Zhang Yue still had high hopes for these retainers.
After all, Zhang Yue knew that he had no brothers and sisters, and he was the only one in the Zhang family.
After all, the eldest sister-in-law is a woman and a child, so it is not convenient to show up, so raising the Tian Li brothers is at least able to serve as qualified retainers and help them handle matters of the family and house. This is the first choice.
Zhang Yue is not afraid of them making trouble or having fun in private.
In this era, with his status and the relationship between the Tian Li brothers and the old Zhang family, the loyalty of the Tian Li brothers is beyond doubt.
Anyway, there has never been an example of a retainer betraying his lord in the Han Dynasty for a hundred years.
This is an unspoken rule with social morality and legal system protection.
If the retainer is betrayed the Lord, he will die!
Moreover, according to Zhang Yue's observation, the Tian Li brothers are all honest and kind farmers, and they have no genius.
If you are serious and reliable, you may not be able to help Zhang Yue with anything else, but it is OK to handle housework and hygiene and manage family members.
Therefore, Zhang Yue said to Tian He very seriously: "You must not forget your roots in life, but you must not forget your original intention!"
"Although I am rich today, remember, where did I come from? Where will I go?"
"You must be cautious in the future and be impatient. Don't rely on my power to do evil outside!"
"I will write a document and inform Jingzhaoyi that the Jinwu Youshi. Anyone who has a name and who is outside to mess with the law does not need to notify me. You can do it according to the law!"
Tian He hurriedly took his servants and bowed respectfully: "One!"
In fact, Tian He was very careful about this matter. Since he arrived in Chang'an, he ordered his servants not to go out at other times except to go out to buy vegetables and rice.
To avoid causing trouble for the lord.
This is also what his father specifically advised him.
Zhang Yue looked at it, nodded, and then ordered: "Go and show me all the articles submitted for me over the past few days..."
"As for poetry and essays..." Zhang Yue hesitated for a moment and said, "There is no need to bring them to you. He also told the scholars to submit them to the future, and he said that I am not good at poetry and essays..."
"No!" Tian He immediately took the order and left.
Zhang Yue looked at his figure, closed his eyes again, and fell into a false sleep.
In his heart, he was extremely sober!
From now on, he knew that he was going to raise his hope.
Accumulate fame and reputation.
Even if you don’t want to, you have to behave like a person and let the people of the world know that Zhang Zi respects the wise and the inferior, and is not ashamed to ask questions.
This is very important!
Moreover, although there is a lot of mud and sand among the frustrated literary people in Chang'an, there is still real gold hidden!
Mencius said that if one has enlightenment, he will help others, but he will not help others.
A great man in later generations said: unite the majority and attack a small group!
This is true for politics, academics, and public opinion.
Therefore, he wanted to unite the young and strong sects, hawks and radicals within the Gongyang School to fight against conservatives and prophecy factions.
He wants to unite with pioneers and enterprising people in the modern literary school to attack conservatives, peacemakers and appeasers who only want to live a small peasant economy with their own acre.
He also wants to unite with the enlightened factions in the two major camps of the modern and ancient Chinese to attack those stubborn elements.
The ultimate goal is to guide the current prevalent "reform of ancient times" into a Renaissance movement.
Reviving the various scholars of the Warring States Period, reviving the practical and steadfast academic style.
Instead of the bad atmosphere of being like now, whether modern or ancient, it is empty to empty, and theory is greater than reality!
And by the way, it becomes a university valve!
And these scholars in Chang'an are his best choices.
Almost none of them!
People in the world may not have seen the power of these people yet.
But Zhang Yue knew the abilities of these guys!
You should know that since Emperor Taizong of the Han Dynasty, a large number of scholars and literati gathered in Chang'an. They wrote poems and essays, discussed the past and present, essays, and guided the country.
Although the quality is uneven, most of the opinions and ideas are imaginative.
However, people often stand out from it. The miracle of being a fielder in the morning and climbing to the emperor's hall in the evening also happened several times!
So, gradually, if the scholars in the world were not recommended in local prefectures and counties, they would gather in Chang'an to seek good fortune.
Especially after Gongsun Hong's success, it greatly stimulated the world.
As a result, a strange group of long-drifts were formed in Chang'an.
Thousands of scholars and literati pursue wealth and honor in Chang'an day after day, year after year.
They persisted in submitting their writings and poems to the marquises, ministers and ministers day after day.
Even around the places where royal nobles and nobles often appear, they only hope that the other party can take a look at their own articles, even if they praise them.
Unfortunately, things went against my wishes.
The original owner was also a member of this group.
Therefore, Zhang Yue has a deep understanding of this group.
To be continued...
