Chapter 47                                                             �

If you are taboo, don’t do it if you can. But if you have to do it, it’s best to be more secretive. It’s best not to let the superiors know, after all, many things are not known. Secondly, even if the superiors know, they can still save them. If they really do it with great fanfare, they will be provoked by the superiors.

Now Yang Bo goes to Ordos. Where is Ordos? In Hetao, north of Yulin, it is very close to Shaanxi. Zhou Mengchen even knew that Yang Bo used a batch of Yulin's grain and grass inventory.

After all, it is actually a bit troublesome to transport grain from Heshuo Province, that is, Datong, to Ordos. It is better to use local grain directly, then make up for it, or make up for it with silver. After all, the establishment of Heshuo Province and the existence of Yulin Town have reached the countdown, and some inventory may not be used for one day.

Now this period of time is also the closest time that Yang Bo has been to Shaanxi Province.

Zhou Mengchen, the governor of Shaanxi, had met Yang Bo privately at this moment. Even if he was found out by the superiors, it would be easy to make excuses, such as coordinating the revocation of Yulin Town.

If you miss this opportunity like this, it will be difficult to find such an opportunity.

So, Zhou Mengchen made a quick decision and sent someone close to him to write a letter to Yang Bo.

This letter soon came to Yang Bo's hands, but it was just one of the countless letters in Yang Bo's hands.

Yang Bo looked at the letters coming to Beijing, sighed in his heart, and said in his heart: "I am Ding You at this moment, and I don't know whether it's luck or misfortune." He had a premonition that Yan Song was about to revenge. After all, the last time, Xu Jie removed Yan Song as the Minister of Personnel and the Minister of Rites. If Yan Song could tolerate this breath, if it weren't for Jiajing's suppression, Yan Song would have taken revenge at that time instead of just killing Zhang Jing.

Now Yan Shifan and Yan Song have been preparing for many years. The outpost battle has begun. Nothing else, Yan Song officially proposed to investigate the capital.

Li Mo is the first to be there.

Nothing else, Jingzhang is the power of the Minister of Personnel, and it is the key to the Tianguan of the Ministry of Personnel being able to fight against the cabinet. Li Mo will never give up. Yan Song promoted Jingzhang like this, and it was definitely not a wedding dress for Li Mo.

In other words, before the Beijing inspection, the Yan Party would definitely take the Ministry of Personnel into control. Li Mo was not easy to deal with. There must be a fight between the two sides. It was not that Yang Bo looked down on Li Mo, but that Li Mo's foundation was too shallow. It was that he could not compare with the Yan Party who had been deeply rooted in the imperial court for decades.

In Yang Bo's eyes, Li Mo has very little chance of winning.

If he was still in the capital, his Minister of War would be one of the bargaining chips. I don’t know what kind of scene it would have. In fact, to be honest, Yang Bo, Zhou Mengchen, Li Mo, Fang Dun, are all similar. They seem to be dependent on one side, but they all have their own small hills. The hills cannot be compared with the two big hills of Yan Dang and Xu Dang, but they are also very powerful.

However, in the battle between the two big hills, they are easily become cannon fodder. Even before the two sides fight, they must be cleared first.

In front of Yan Song, the only suspense of Li Mo was whether he could pull Xu Jie into the water. If not, there was only one suspense, which was how Li Mo should be eliminated?

Yang Bo wanted to avoid it more and more. Sometimes good fortune is the place where misfortune is relied upon, and misfortune is the hidden danger. The Yan Party and Xu Party cannot tell the winner for a while, and Jiajing will not let them tell the winner. He may have gone home to mourn for a while before he can see the situation more clearly, after all, bystanders are clear.

However, even if he returns home and is worried, someone must protect his power in the court, otherwise when he comes out of the mountain, he will be alone. That won’t work.

When Yang Bo thought of this, he picked up Zhou Mengchen's letter again. Seeing the letter, Zhou Mengchen asked him for a while. Yang Bo said in his heart: "No matter how good it is, if you don't come to find me, I still want to find you."

Yang Bo knows everything about the Yellow River Bank.

It can be said that the Yellow River Bank itself is the product of the alliance between the Shanxi merchants and the Qi science department. This alliance is not only in terms of capital and power, but also in personnel. The bank has a large number of businesses, and it is impossible not to be proficient in mathematics. Who is the best person in the Ming Dynasty?

Now it is not Zhou Mengchen, but Cheng Dazhen.

Only Datong Academy can cultivate a large number of talents proficient in mathematics. Therefore, during the establishment of the Yellow River Bank, in addition to the Shanxi merchants, many shopkeepers, guys, and accounts, there are also many graduates from Datong Academy joining them. After all, the treatment of banks is actually pretty good. If you don’t talk about political treatment, making money is much better than ordinary officials. Of course, it is just an open income, and gray income is not included.

Perhaps some graduates of Datong Academy themselves did not feel it. In fact, they all labeled Zhou Mengchen everywhere. Without Zhou Mengchen, these people would not have been able to quickly hold important positions in the Yellow River Bank. No matter how capable they are, they would not have been able to do so.

After all, in many places, people are very closed in these days. Many companies in later generations still have ceilings, so don’t think that there will be no Shanxi merchants here.

Similarly, Shanxi merchants did not have any academic pursuits. Yang Bo did not have any Confucian ideas. If it were really said that, Yang Bo advocated practical work. Perhaps it could be classified as a practical lineage.

Therefore, Yang Bo did not pursue any academic pursuits.

In fact, officials like Yang Bo were the norm in the Ming Dynasty. There were three stages of influence between academic and political affairs of the Ming Dynasty. The first stage was in the early Ming Dynasty. At that time, the government had the right to interpret Confucianism. It can be said that they were learned in the government. At that time, San Yang and others were not only cabinet leaders, but also literary masters who were respected by the world, such as great Confucian scholars and disciples all over the world.

After this, it will soon not be able to continue, and there will be various schools of thought, but generally speaking, there is a gap between academics and governments. The court will also invite great scholars to come to Beijing to give lectures to the emperor when they have time. However, in the end, the great scholars will not be allowed to enter the court.

When it reached the third stage, it was actually what Jiajing began. That was the accelerating integration of academic and political struggles. The great etiquette was very obvious. In the great etiquette, the lineage of Xinxue rose rapidly and was suppressed. When Xu Jie took academic as the link and the foundation of Xinxue, he fought with Yan Song. The distance between academic and political quickly narrowed.

Of course, this process is not without repetition. For example, Zhang Juzheng hated lectures deeply. He felt that lectures were a cover, but in fact it was the act of opposition ministers forming cliques for personal gain, so he abolished lectures.

However, the trend of many things is not based on personal thoughts.

The emergence of the Donglin Party was the one who achieved great success in Xu Jie's techniques.

In a sense, Xu Jie and Zhou Mengchen are the same type of people. The only difference is that although Xu Jie has always promoted the study of the mind, he does not dominate the study of the mind. What really dominates are the various schools of the Wang family, but although Qi science is far inferior to that of the study of the mind, the current Qi science is transformed bit by bit by bit by bit by Zhou Mengchen. The core of Qi science is Zhou Mengchen, which is beyond doubt.

Officials like Yang Bo are actually gradually disagreeing with the times.

Regardless of whether it is right or wrong, academic disputes have gradually become part of political disputes.

Yang Bo didn't think so much at this moment. He just understood one thing, that is, there was no conflict between him and Zhou Mengchen. Yang Bo instinctively sought development for his fellow villagers. For him, learning qi is nothing. Zhou Mengchen cared more about the development of qi, and did not care too much about money.

Moreover, Yang Bo also knew that many people among the Shanxi merchants had sent their children to Datong Academy. After all, money was not a problem for them. Datong Academy introduced many Qixue scholars. In terms of imperial examinations, it may be a little worse for many academies in Jiangnan, but it is already very good in the north. If the children can be admitted to the imperial examinations, it would be the best.

If you can't, you will be good at learning some business and wealthy skills at Datong Academy. If you can't, you can learn some mathematics well. At least after you come back, you won't be bullied by the accountants below.

This is good.

The people of Shanxi pay attention to reality and the influence of Datong's development, Qi science has developed rapidly in Shanxi Province, and it is estimated that within a few years, it will become a Shanxi scholar.
