Zhang Siwei could not be considered a virtuous prime minister in any case, but an excellent politician. This is Zhang Han's evaluation of his ancestors, which was quite objective, which surprised Sun Jingting at that time.

Now that the old saying goes back, a warm feeling arises naturally.

"Anyway, I really don't want Wen Lan to be the big guys you have carefully studied. He is thick and black, cruel and ruthless, and a tight-lipped sword... Well, this seems to be used by Li Linfu. In short, you are pretty good now. Some scheming skills mainly put the king's way first. The so-called king's way is to be upright. Just like this attack on Chahar, I have done enough skills before, so it is natural. No matter how you slap, you can't escape the situation of collapse. This is the king's way."

Zhang Han pondered: "But not everything can be done, with the right fit and the odd win. I think when we encounter something we cannot fight against, we can only stabilize our pace first, wait for the change, and wait for the moment of victory with the odd win."

"Is it related to Guipuzhou's relatives?" Sun Jingting was quite keen and asked immediately: "I don't have to say much about your elders, or even ask a lot. But Wenlan, you have to establish your foothold. You must know that many people are worried now!"

This is true. If it is purely military problems and troubles, the people of Huji have no worries at all, and the soldiers will come to stop them. However, the emperor took out Zhang Han's ancestors, the chief minister of Feng Pangong, a famous figure, and even ordinary people know many of the past deeds of Mr. Zhang, a naturally intelligent prodigy, who passed the Jinshi early. They stood firm in the three dynasties from Jiajing Longqing to Wanli, and were in charge of the border defense affairs of Shaanxi-Gansu Xuanda with ministers such as Wang Chonggu. The entire Jinshi party has considerable strength. Those who have been to Puzhou know that there are dozens of archways on the street where the Zhang Mansion is located, which are the honors of the Zhang family in Puzhou. Generally, people have a archway with a Jinshi and a title, even if they are officials, they are not enough to see in front of wealthy families like the Zhang family in Puzhou.

Even now, the Zhang family in Puzhou still has quite a few children who are officials, but they are not just a head of the head. If not, Zhang Nian was just an ordinary gentry, not the head of the Zhang family. Lai Tongxin was a powerful general at least. How could he sell a lot of face to Zhang Nian just because of a letter?

Now Zhang Siwei is highly praised. In addition to being awarded titles, the court has given all the highest achievements that can be given to civil officials, including Taishi, Special Administrative, Guanglu Dafu, Shangzhuguo, and Zhongsu's posthumous title. It is conceivable why the court did such a thing.

Of course, what he did was not Zhang Siwei's sudden discovery of something hidden by the court, but it was obvious that it was for Zhang Han.

This is a headache, but not many people are disgusted by it. People are a little worried about Zhang Han.

After all, Zhang Siwei was a famous minister of the Ming Dynasty, and the imperial court's intention to give Zhongsu was also very obvious. Loyalty and filial piety were passed down from family, which is the most basic moral standard for a Chinese.

Not necessarily everyone can do it, but no one will claim to be an unfaithful person.

At this time, there was a God above the heads of Europeans. This was their common moral standard. Among the Chinese, thousands of words were only translated into four words, which was nothing more than: loyal ministers and filial sons.

No matter who it is, it is difficult to get the evaluation of these four words. To be a loyal minister, you have to bid farewell to your parents and not go home for decades. You can only go home to attend mourning and attend mourning. The two words "filial son" are difficult to be qualified. To be a filial son, you have to serve the sun day and night, and it is difficult to serve the court.

This is the reality. The so-called loyalty and filial piety are difficult to achieve, which is probably what it means.

Zhang Han reached the top of the grassland, but at present, he did not become an enemy of the Ming Dynasty. The imperial court's intention was very direct and obvious. He wanted Zhang Han and his ancestors to learn and continue to be loyal to the Ming Dynasty.

This is a kind of expectation, a rather gentle method. If Zhang Han rebelled at this time, the image he created over the years would be completely destroyed, giving people the feeling of Wang Mang, Cao Cao and others.

The other is unfilial. Zhang Siwei is Zhang Hangao's grandfather. After only a few decades, the court posthumously posthumously posthumously. If Zhang Han openly rebels, if he is unfilial, then he will be unfilial.

Besides, these elders from Puzhou came to advise, even the name of unfilial piety was confirmed.

If a person is unfaithful and unfilial, can such a person follow him?

Not only will Zhang Han's image be greatly destroyed in northern provinces, even if the officials and people who follow him are afraid of him, they will be afraid of him.

The army is not very afraid, but we also have to worry about the army deteriorating.

The Hutchison Merchants Army had great righteousness and had strong confidence in everything they did. It was for China, for the benefit of the people of the Ming Dynasty, and of course for the loyalty of Hutchison and Lord Zhang.

Now as long as the military pay is paid, soldiers can still swing their swords to kill any side, but the sense of honor and pride in the hearts of soldiers will probably disappear.

The Guanning army could also conquer southern China. Li Chengdong, the subordinate of Gao Jie, the four towns in Jiangbei, was invincible after surrendering to the Qing army, but Zhang Han really wanted such an army?

If the killings are rolling and conquering them by pure force, they should be able to defeat the Ming Dynasty.

But Zhang Han wants such a China again?

Sun Jingting is Zhang Han’s closest subordinate, and is also a very good friend. He is even more related, so he is still very clear about Zhang Han.

Zhang Han also hated the censors of the Ming Dynasty. He hated the atmosphere of only talking about the party and not doing things after forming a party. He even hated the censors and ministers who betrayed memorials for the benefit of the benefit.

But there are also quite a lot of controversy in this group, just for facts, and there are also censors of both parties, and there are also tough knots who are not afraid of angering the emperor.

Later generations only knew that cheating the court stick, so how could that thing be easy to deceive? A few sticks can make the weak person half dead, and then be detained, imprisoned, abused, exempted from official positions and exiles. How could this crime be easily suffered after a whole set?

It can be said that the character of the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty, including censors, was formed by a unique political ecology of more than 200 years. It is stronger than that of the Song Dynasty doctors.

After all, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty would not beat dozens of civil servants at once, so the risk of speaking in the Song Dynasty was very small... It was amazing that he was demoted to Lingnan. In the Ming Dynasty, his speech was still in danger of life and was not small.

The social atmosphere is also more open, and people are gradually becoming arrogant and bold, and the atmosphere of conducting business and opening workshops has also risen. The civil control is very loose, unlike in the early Ming Dynasty, where people's etiquette, clothing, and architectural styles have been detailed and strict regulations. Now, as long as you have money, you are a worker or a businessman, and you are not an official or a gentry who dares to use rich doors and double eaves, and you can also wear silk and silk, and wear robes of various colors such as red and purple.

Even during the Tang and Song dynasties, such things were absolutely impossible. The style and color of the clothes were always very strict. It was not a scholar or official, and the level was not reached, so the people could only wear gray, blue, white and other colors. The color of red and purple has always been the color of nobles. Now, they are also wearing them openly.

The publishing industry in Beijing is quite prosperous, and various books are constantly published in Beijing. People can not only read books compiled by literati such as Sanyan Erpai, but also compile storytelling and other miscellaneous words into storytelling book booklets, and buy them home to read them carefully. There are also many legendary stories of gods and monsters. There is no taboo anyway, even the teachings of the White Lotus Sect, as long as you give them money, the publisher will still dare to print them for you.

People have opened their eyes to the world, and many scholars and officials are also very interested in the knowledge of Taixi. Although it is mainly in astronomy, that is, professional matters such as editing calendars. However, the Ming Dynasty has its own magnificent demeanor. Xu Guangqi was a scholar and a minister of the Ministry of Rites. He was able to join the Catholic Church and took the title of religion. No one attacked him as a traitor of the second devils, and regarded him as a master of Confucianism. Xu Bulang also translated the principles of geometry with his disciples and introduced the Catholic missionaries to the officials in the court. After the Nanjing lesson plan occurred, no one further persecuted the missionaries, and the missionaries could also preach. Compared with Southeast Asia, the priests must have been subjected to many restrictions. However, Southeast Asia was a colony conquered by Europeans, and the Ming Dynasty was a huge empire with quite powerful strength. This is its tolerance and greatness.

Compared with the arrogant and complete closure of the Tartar emperors decades later, the gap between the two is too big.

Civilization, commerce, industry, culture and education, the entire Ming Dynasty was actually looking for the path of ancient China again.

After Yashan, classical China had actually cut off the inheritance of civilization. At the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the Han officials were restored to their dignity, but there were many remnants of the Mongolian Yuan from the court to the civil level. Until the Longwan period, the court's control was relaxed, and the people's wealth increased greatly after the opening of the sea. Especially in Jiangnan, there was quite strong vitality in culture and economy. Whether it was the economic development of Suzhou or the cultural development of a large area in Jiangnan, there was a kind of vitality.

Whether it is Hutchison or Jurchen, it is a pity to interrupt all the signs of revival.

"Wenlan, what are you going to do?" Sun Jingting looked at Zhang Han worriedly. He didn't plan to ask, but he still couldn't help asking.

Li Shenming, Kong Minxing and others are not there, and these are the only ones that can really affect Zhang Han in Hutchison.

In terms of intelligence and intelligence, these people are all top students. Kong Minxing is Xu Guangqi's disciple, an expert in agriculture, and his level of Confucianism is completely as good as that of the second-class Jinshi. He is also very good at doing practical work. He also has a early entry into Hutchison and has a high status.

Wang Changfu, Liang Xing and others were also early, and of course the old shopkeepers Zhou Fengji and Liang Hong, but their level was incomparable to Kong Minxing, and of course it could not affect Zhang Han.

There is also Li Shenming who is bold and thoughtful, and he is a juren who conducts business for the general and makes a comeback. It is definitely impossible to do it by just being in relationships. Of course, he must have vision and skills, and he must be particularly smart.

People who are not smart cannot do business. They rely solely on power, but are not businessmen.

In Shanxi, people still value business, and people don’t feel ashamed to go through business. The Zhang family in Puzhou has been officials for generations, and many of them are important officials of the court. But it’s not the same. What’s the shame to be a businessman?

There are many mountains and few lands, so if you can’t do business, you’re waiting to starve to death?
