"Zeng Zixuan and Lu Nongshi have invited the county together! Zizhan, you're still amazing! ”

Han Zhongyan's Zai has been in power for almost two years, but he has not had a few comfortable days, especially after the death of the Empress Dowager Xiang, he has been bullied by the Xining traitorous party led by Zeng Bu. Later, Fan Chunli was also kicked out of Kaifeng, and he became the commander of the Yuanyouzhong Party in the political hall, and he was living like a year, and he was already making plans to invite the county daimyo's mansion.

Unexpectedly, a discussion that seemed to happen by accident was seized by Su Dongpo and made a beautiful turnaround, and he was about to be numb.

As soon as Su Dongpo announced his hemp, Han Zhongyan's life in the DPRK was much better. So today, after learning the news that Zeng Bu and Lu Dian invited the county at the same time, he hastily handled the government affairs in the political affairs hall, and left early under the pretext of being unwell, and went to the Lihua Courtyard where Wu Haogu and Su Dongpo lived.

"Xianggong," Wu Haogu is a relative of Han Zhongyan, so he gets along more casually, and when he heard that Zeng Bu and Lu Dian's left together, he asked for Su Dongpo, "Who do you think the family teacher will take over?" ”

"It should be Lu Shinong's Shangshu Youcheng." Han Zhongyan said, "If Ziyou can come back, he can be the right minister." ”

Su Shi's qualifications are actually older than Su Zhe, but he was unlucky early, because the Wutai poetry case missed his future, so his current official position and qualifications are not enough to serve as the second minister.

"The second phase will definitely give Cai Yuan a long time!" Wu Haogu frowned slightly.

Cai Jing is not easy to get along with!

"Do you think it's Cai Jing too?" Han Zhongyan nodded, "Zeng Bu recommended him in the dictionaries. ”

Su Dongpo smiled: "Cai Yuanchang is also good, he is a person who does things." ”

"Cai Yuanchang's ability to do things is really good," Han Zhongyan also said, "Now the only one who can surpass him in the DPRK is probably Chongdao." What do you think? Is it to take a solution test this year and get a jinshi next year? ”

High school jinshi is almost the beginning of a lifelong dream for ordinary readers, but it is really nothing to Wu Haogu.

After Guozijian commented on the Tao, the status of Wuhao Gu Confucianism was unshakable - the gap in the Confucian worldview was filled by him and Cheng Yi, and it was filled very satisfactorily, with almost no loopholes. Moreover, the "hypothetical theory" and "practical theory" he put forward are completely in line with Confucius's idea, that is, to resurrect Confucius, there must be martial arts among the seventy-two sages.

So as long as he goes to the exam, even if the article is not so good, Zhao Ji will not cause any controversy by adding his name to the list of Jinshi, even if he doesn't take the exam, Zhao Ji has a reason to give Wu Haogu the Jinshi background.

However, Wu Haogu has a reason why he can't be a jinshi and transfer to literature.

"Xianggong, I can't get into the Jinshi," Wu Haogu smiled bitterly, "There are still a lot of things going on in Jiehe Shang City and Haizhou!" The enjoyment of the official family is better than that of previous generations, and if no one earns millions a year for him, the prince and the teacher will be unstable. ”

Su Dongpo frowned, "The official family's flowers are very powerful now?" ”

Han Zhongyan nodded and said: "The official family is not a king who can bow down to frugality, and the emperors of this dynasty are incomparable in terms of flowers. However, the official family is willing to delegate power and can use people.

Therefore, Chongdao has room to play, and thanks to his business financing in the past two years, the extra expenses of the official family have not been taken from the income of the imperial court and the sealing warehouse. If you don't have the ability to manage your finances, I'm afraid the old man, the prime minister, will not be able to do it a long time ago! If Chongdao was born at the time of Emperor Shenzong, I am afraid there would be no need for Xining's new policy. ”

In the eyes of Han Qi and Han Zhongyan, the so-called "strong soldiers" of Xining's new policy are nonsense, and if they want to strengthen the army, will they abolish the "Changing Laws" and Ma Zheng?

These two policies were obviously aimed at opening up sources and reducing expenditure, but as a result, the Kaifeng Forbidden Army and the Hebei Forbidden Army were completely abandoned, and Ma Zheng was completely finished. Now that the Western Army alone has some combat effectiveness, the forbidden armies in other places have become ordinary people.

However, the rich country of Xining's new policy is true, at least now there are tens of millions of dollars in the treasury and the inner and left collections, as long as the official family is not extravagant, but can live a life of no shortage of flowers for many years.

It's just that today's official family, no matter how you look at it, is developing in the direction of luxury! The renovation of Qionglin Garden has now become a major project to build Qionglin Palace, and Li Jie, who is actually in charge of the project, said that the final plan of the official family may be to expand Qionglin Palace into Qionglin City......

Fortunately, the cost of building Qionglin Guan and Qionglin City was raised with the help of Wu Haogu and Pan Xiao'an, otherwise the political hall would not have died?

Su Dongpo sighed softly: "No one is perfect, the king is also a human being, the thrifty and diligent king refuses to let go of power, and the one who is willing to give up power is ......."

"Teacher, I have a way to raise the official family's flowers." Wu Haogu smiled and said to Su Dongpo, "One does not disturb the people, and the other does not add endowments, let him spend the money...... Officials can spend lavishly, so that they can feel comfortable, and we can live a good life as courtiers. ”

"How does this sound like a traitor?" Su Dongpo looked at his students, a little crying and laughing.

"How can you be a traitor?" Wu Hao Gu Zhengse said, "If there is no official family knowledge and light, how can I have today's glory?" And the official family treats me sincerely, how can I not repay it wholeheartedly? Teacher, don't argue with the officials about spending money in the future! ”

This is a matter of principle involving "official nature"! An official like Song Huizong is a good official in Wu Haogu's opinion, and he is willing to delegate power, has a large amount of weapons, and is very good enough to be a friend, and he doesn't have the feeling of being with a king like a tiger at all. How many good officials have been in the past few thousand years?

And it's not a problem that he likes to spend money at all...... Isn't it just money!

"If you really have a way to make money, the old man will naturally not talk much." Su Dongpo looked at the student, "If the old man becomes a minister, he will learn from Wang Yuyu to be a three-purpose minister." ”

Wu Haogu smiled: "If the teacher is really willing to do the three decrees, it will be a blessing for the country." With you and Han Xianggong sheltering, Shaanxi Sixth Road and Hebei Two Roads, as well as the soldiers of Hedong Road, our Yuntai School Palace, as well as Jiehe Shang City and Haizhou Tianya City, can be carried out safely and steadily. ”

Now Zhao Ji, the emperor, must wear the same pants as Wu Haogu - the women in the palace can share with Wu Haogu, and there is no one among the emperors from ancient times to the present. If there are still two prime ministers in the political hall as backers, then it will be easy for Wu Haogu to do things.

Su Dongpo felt that Wu Haogu was a little negative, but he knew that his apprentice was good at cheating, and he didn't discuss the topic of "three wills" with him. Another question: "Now the Quartet is calm, the wind and rain are smooth, and there is no more stable day than this since the founding of this dynasty." However, the military and government are slack, the officials cannot do things, and the hidden dangers of the soldiers and generals are still unusable. If you can't improve it while there is nothing to do, once something happens in the future, I am afraid that it will be an avalanche situation. ”

Wu Haogu knew that Su Dongpo wanted to speed up the matter of practical learning, and Wu Haogu said: "Teacher, ten years of trees, a hundred years of people." Today's people have been established in the more than 160 years since the founding of this dynasty, and it is impossible to change them soon, so the most urgent task at the moment is to turn the "Heavenly Doctrine" and "Empirical Theory" into manifest studies. ”

The "Theory of Heavenly Principles" and the "Theory of Positivism" are basically free of logical loopholes, so the next question is to use them to become the same manifest learning as the Confucian Five Classics - this matter no longer matters! This is equivalent to a great discussion on the question of the criterion of truth in later generations, which is the prelude to a great change, which emancipates people's minds, breaks the shackles of dogmatism, and clears the ideological obstacles for reform and opening up.

And in the last years of the Northern Song Dynasty, the significance of emancipating the mind was also extraordinary. Because Wu Haogu knew that the officials and scholars of the Song Dynasty were actually very dogmatic - that was brainwashed for more than 160 years!

Han Zhongyan asked: "There should be more practical learning like Yuntai Academy, right?" I think the three schools under Guozi's supervision can be changed to the number of practical learning. ”

"This is not achieved overnight," Wu Haogu shook his head, "There are not enough teachers, and the textbooks are not very complete, so it is a bit difficult to deal with the Yuntai Academy and the Jiehe Branch." If the step of reforming the Guozijian is too big, I am afraid that the slightest carelessness will give someone a handle.

In my opinion, it is better to add six new courses to Guozijian's curriculum: "Tianli Theory", "Positivism", fencing, horse riding, archery, and arithmetic, and the content of the scriptures and meanings can be reduced a little. have all been admitted to the Guozijian, who is not proficient in the Five Classics?

In addition, Guozijian's school system is not very reasonable. The students of Taixue and martial arts will be eliminated in one year after entering the school, so there is no need. I think it should be based on having the majority of students complete three years of study. The number of students should be reduced, and the number of students should be reduced to 300 students per year. And there is no need to divide Taixue and martial arts, all of them are classified as Taixue, and take the route of Yunwen and Yunwu. ”

"Isn't this similar to the doctoral department of Yuntai Academy?" Su Dongpo smiled, "That's fine, at least you can ride a horse and shoot arrows and fight with a blade, which is a bit of a practical learning." ”

Han Zhongyan nodded, and said thoughtfully: "If you can let some of the students of the Guozijian take a martial arts test, the officers of the government soldiers will be defeated." ”

When the three of them were talking, Wu Chenglan, the "big secretary" of Wu Haogu, walked in and handed over a famous post, "Yuke Province, there is a white businessman outside, and he also brought a few big horses, saying that it is Bai Siwen of the Aladdin Chamber of Commerce, who came to Beijing this time to send big food and good horses to the guest province. ”

"It's finally here!" Wu Haogu smiled and took the name post.

Su Dongpo asked: "Da Lang, do you still like to raise horses?" Horses in this big food country cost a lot of money, right? ”

"The cost is naturally high, maybe you have to ask for tens of thousands of yuan, right? But this is a stallion," Wu Haogu said with a smile, "The student already has two Persian stallions, raised in the Jiehe Shang City, and now he has a big eating horse, I believe that he can raise a good horse from the Jiehe River."

Han Xianggong, teacher, how about we go and meet the BMW from the big food country? ”
