Zhang Jiuling is one of the most outstanding figures in Chinese history.

Among the famous officials in the world, although he is not as awesome as Zhang Juzheng, he is still extremely powerful.

There are countless legends about him.

There is also a story circulating among the people. It is said that Zhang Jiuling's mother, Lu, was pregnant for ten months in Shixing but still had not given birth.

His father saw that his wife was thick and frail, and suspected that she had jaundice. One day, I met an old man who was a doctor and fortune teller. After diagnosis, the old man told Zhang Jiuling's father,"The fetus in the belly is an extraordinary person. Because this place is too small to accommodate it, it may have to be born in a big place."

Listen. The husband said that the Zhang family had no choice but to move to Shaozhou.

Zhang Jiuling is said to have been born there.

But Zhang Jiuling also returned to his hometown in Shixing after he was born.

The popular story of"catching mice to unravel the imperial court" in Shixing County comes from Zhang Jiuling's experience of studying in Shitoutang when he was young.

······

Zhang Jiuling, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, Zhang Zhao, the left minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and Zhang Hong, the right minister of the Ministry of Personnel.

Although they both have the surname Zhang, they are not relatives.

Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong have been serving in local governments.

It can be regarded as hard work and conscientiousness.

Lu Yan planned to transfer them to the central government to take charge of central affairs.

Assist Zhang Juzheng.

As for the remaining"Langzhong""、"Yuanwailang"、"Lu Yan plans to hand over the"chief" and other positions to the four prime ministers and Zhang Jiuling.

Let them choose some suitable people to appoint.

It is impossible for Lu Yan to know all the people.

But the staff department is different. The staff department has its own Senior officials can be promoted based on their resume, promotion, etc.

Wu Yinzhi, the former Minister of Household Affairs, is in charge of the Household Department. It is the organ in charge of household registration and finance, one of the six departments, and is in charge of the country's territory, fields, household registration, and taxation , salaries and wages, and all financial matters.

Its internal government affairs are divided into divisions based on regions.

In addition to being in charge of local budget and food, each division is also in charge of some general affairs of other yamen, and their responsibilities are often overlapping.

The Household Department is the place that controls household registration and finance..

If Yun Guo had not been promoted, Wu Yinzhi's talent would be barely adequate.

But now that Yun Guo has been promoted to a dynasty, Wu

Yinzhi has some shortcomings.

Lu Yan knows that Wu Yinzhi is an honest official.

Under Wu Yinzhi's control, Yun Guo's treasury will be So fulfilling.

No one is greedy for money.

In addition, Wu Bingjian, the king of money, Shen Wansan, the god of wealth, and their own attributes of"destroying the country" and"plundering" have led to the Yun Kingdom becoming stronger and stronger.

But let Wu Yinzhi stay in this position It was already somewhat inappropriate.

A person with a higher level was needed.

So Lu Yan promoted"Song Lian".

Wu Yinzhi, because of his experience, still stayed in the Ministry of Household Affairs and became the left minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs.

Wu Bingjian, the right minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs.

One is responsible for managing money and the other is responsible for making money.

Lin Xiangru takes care of all aspects.

Song Lian's ability far exceeds that of"Wu Yinzhi".

Song Lian was a famous politician, writer, and historian in the late Yuan and early Ming dynasties. , thinker, together with Gao Qi and Liu Ji, known as the"Three Great Masters of Poetry and Prose in the Early Ming Dynasty", and together with Zhang Yi, Liu Ji, and Ye Chen, known as the"Four Gentlemen of Eastern Zhejiang". He was praised by Zhu Yuanzhang, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, as"the founding civil servant of the country" Scholars call him Tai Shigong and Longmen of the Song Dynasty.

Song Lian has been sick since he was a child and his family was poor, but he is smart and studious and is known as a"child prodigy". He once studied under Wenren Mengji, Wu Lai, Liu Guan, and Huang Shu and others.

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, he resigned from the imperial court and began to practice Taoism and write books.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, he was hired by Zhu Yuanzhang and was respected as the teacher of the"Five Classics" and lectured for the prince Zhu Biao. In the second year of Hongwu, he was ordered to major in"History of the Yuan Dynasty". Scholars of the Hanlin Academy carried out edicts, knew how to formulate imperial edicts, and most of the court etiquette was formulated for them. In the tenth year of Hongwu, he resigned from office and returned to his hometown. Later, his eldest grandson Song Shen was implicated in the Hu Weiyong case and was exiled to Maozhou. He died of illness in Kuizhou on the way at the age of seven. 12.

Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty pursued the posthumous title of"Wenxian", so he was called"Song Wenxian".

Song Lian and Liu Ji were both famous for their prose creations and were called"the ancestors of their generation". Their prose was simple and concise, or graceful and elegant, each with its own characteristics. He He admired Taige literature and his honest and elegant writing style provided a model for the literary creation of subsequent"Taige style" writers. Most of his works were engraved into the seventy-five volumes of"The Complete Works of Song Scholars".

Lu Yan promoted him to"Hu""Minister of the Ministry", not only because of his talent, but also because of his integrity as an official.

Song Lian was very honest when it came to property. He once wrote big characters on his door:"I would rather die of hunger than live greedy for profit.""

A gentleman regards this sentence as a famous saying.

If a powerful person is someone Song Lian doesn't like, even if he takes a bag full of gold, as long as there is a little contradiction in the discussion, even if the money is given to Song Lian, he will not accept it. The Japanese envoy was ordered He asked Song Lian for an article and gave him one hundred taels of gold, but Song Lian refused and refused to accept it. When

Zhu Yuanzhang asked him about it, Song Lian replied:"It is not the way to safeguard the state of the country when a minister of the Celestial Empire accepts money from a small barbarian country."

With such a character, Lu Yan could safely leave his money to his control.

Song Lian also did not expect that he would be so valued by Lu Yan.

An impulse of"a scholar will die for his confidant" sprouted in his heart.
