Zhongmu's wind seemed to be exceptionally cool, and it hit the person's body, hitting a spirit, and the restless heat that had nowhere to hide suddenly disappeared. The breath brought by the www.biquge.info wind is extraordinarily fragrant and refreshing.

Sitting down in the verandah, Yan Shu looked left and right, and said to Xu Ping: "Since Yun Xing built a mansion in the west of the city, it has been a little cold here. Speaking of which, it's a little more wild and tasteful. ”

"There are few people at home, no one to take care of it, what can be done? A few days ago, my father-in-law's family was in the village, and they came over from time to time to clean up. Now he is also going to travel abroad, but it is a little deserted. ”

After listening to Xu Ping's words, Fan Zhongyan on the side said: "Mr. Lin has made great contributions to "Spring and Autumn", I don't want him to leave Guozijian!" It's just that he couldn't miss his future, so he had to let Mr. Lin go. ”

Xu Ping smiled and said politely.

This kind of thing is obvious, everyone gives Lin Wensi face, or because it is because of Xu Pingping. Whether it is teaching in Guozijian or being sent to a rich county as the chief bookkeeper, without Xu Ping, where will it be his turn to do such a good thing?

This year's leap June, the season came early, after the middle of July, the thousands of acres of cotton planted in Zhongmuzhuang arrived at the harvest season. This is a big event, and Xu Ping specially invited many important ministers of the imperial court to come over and watch. Cai Qi, the governor of Zaizhili, Li Shi, the deputy privy envoy, Yan Shu, a scholar of Hanlin, Li Shu, the governor of the system, and Zheng Xiang, the treasurer of the department, and Fan Zhongyan, who was the judge of the state and the prince of the country, as well as most of the judges in the three divisions and Wang Juzheng, the new deputy envoy of the household department. Even the pavilion officials who were going to be transferred to the Third Division also called over together, and there were really a lot of personnel.

When a crop is ripe, no matter how rare this crop is, there will not be so many people interested in it, and they will run to the countryside of Zhongmu. Just because when Xu Ping invited these people, he said that if there is no accident, the cotton he saw this time was sucrose suitable for planting in the Central Plains. If there is an institution in the Central Plains that mainly grows cotton like the cane sugar business, then the Central Plains will be 100 times more prosperous than Yongzhou, and this institution will be 100 times larger than the cane sugar business.

The cane sugar business is in Yongzhou, and now it is in Yonglang Road, and it is an organization that can be compared with yamen at all levels. The money and grain collected from the sugar service were much more than the two taxes and other commercial taxes combined. Not only are the three divisions staring at the sugar business, but even the political affairs hall must be asked every month, and the accounts must be reviewed by the chief executive every month.

If there is a cane sugar business in the Central Plains, let alone a hundred times larger, even if the scale is about the same, it is also a very remarkable thing. Zhao Zhen personally wrote a reply to Xu Ping, and came down with the edict signed by Lu Yi, so that the two ministers and Cai Qi and Li Shi came to inspect, and went back to ask the two governments to gather.

Because of the huge team, the road was not fast, and I rested in Octagonal Town for a night, and only arrived in Zhongmu Village this morning.

This time, I have to stay for a few days, and I am not in a hurry. Xu Ping invited everyone to take a rest in the garden, drink some tea, and eat some melons and fruits.

After drinking tea and eating two watermelons, the heat on my body was gone, and everyone gossiped.

Fan Zhongyan said to Xu Ping: "I heard from the people in the pavilion that a few days ago in Xu's mansion, Ouyang Xiu was rude, and he taught him a lesson. ”

Xu Ping's expression did not move, and he said lightly: "Where is there rudeness to me, it's just that he posted an article on the "Money Law Book", and his words were inappropriate, and I said a few words to him. ”

Fan Zhongyan looked at Yan Shu beside him and said with a smile: "Ouyang Xiu, although he has some talent, he has always been arrogant, and it is also a good thing for him to frustrate his spirit. ”

Yan Shu nodded: "Not bad." When Ouyang Xiu was in Henan Mansion, he heard that Qian Sigong treated these young people very generously, and raised their sharpness, but lacked training. Yun Xing did a very good job, but the words were a little too heavy. ”

Xu Ping looked at the two of them and smiled: "Qian Sigong is generous and has been a good person, but I am responsible for this evil person." The wicked are the wicked, I really have to do this! ”

Qian Weiyan left Henan Mansion and was relegated to Suizhou, where he died not long ago at the age of fifty-eight. Because when the Empress Dowager Liu was there, he was fortunate to advance, and at first he said "Wen Mo", taking the meaning of "sensitive and studious for literature, and being greedy and withdrawn for ink". The people of the Qian family were not convinced, and they had to be called "thinking", because he was still repentant in his later years.

As soon as people die, the grievances before they all dissipate with the wind, and Qian Weiyan, as a member of the Wuyue royal family, grew up in wealth and nobility since he was a child, and when he died, he was desolate and sympathetic. Correspondingly, everyone's attitude is not as strict as before.

Especially Ouyang Xiu, who had received the favor of Qian Weiyan, wrote articles to mourn one after another.

After taking a sip of tea and thinking about it again, Fan Zhongyan said again: "Yun Xing, Master Yan is right, although you taught Ouyang Xiu very well this time, the wording was a little too harsh. Young people are the time to forge ahead, and sometimes it is inevitable that they will not speak lightly. As long as they know that they are wrong, it is not good if they dare not speak. ”

"Did I say it too much? Did I say it heavily? ”

Seeing Xu Ping looking at the two of them and asking extremely seriously, Yan Shu and Fan Zhongyan couldn't help but nod together: "It's a little too heavy." I heard that after Ouyang Xiu went back, he didn't come out to see anyone for a few days. ”

"I don't think it's heavy! If Ouyang Xiu felt that I was talking too seriously, it meant that he still didn't know what he was wrong with. In this way, the same mistake will be made in the future. Bachelor Yan, Fan waits for the system, I say here, Ouyang Xiu made the same mistake again, but it was not as simple as being told! ”

Yan Shu saw that Xu Ping didn't seem to be joking, and couldn't help asking, "How did Xu Beizhi say this?" Ouyang Xiu inappropriately issued a document to criticize the minister, but since the ancestors, the imperial court has not blocked the way, and it is not very excessive. ”

Xu Ping smiled and shook his head: "Master Yan, over the years, when did I, Xu Ping, have a bad opinion of others because of their words?" "Money Law Book" was edited by myself, and so many copies have been printed, and Ouyang Xiu is the only one who came forward to find him because of the inappropriate words in the article. He doesn't know why? ”

Seeing that Yan Shu and Fan Zhongyan didn't speak, they both looked confused, Xu Ping said again: "That day, I kept telling him that the reason for looking for him was those seven words, 'The one who is in charge of the matter is unwise'." ”

"Oh, isn't this Ouyang Xiu's." Yan Shu sighed, but he knew what was going on. Although Xu Ping has a high official position, his actual age is not very old, a few years younger than Ouyang Xiu. is the same young man, and the same is sharp, how can he stand Ouyang Xiu saying this? Don't say that the official position is so far apart, and the same level can't be like this.

Fan Zhongyan also smiled, finally knew where the crux was, and shook his head: "Yes, speaking of Yunxing, he is also a young man, younger than Ouyang Xiu, how can he stand such accusations?" ”

"No, no, no, you misunderstood me! I'm not talking about Ouyang Xiu's comment that I'm not wise, I've heard a lot of more ugly things over the years, when did I quarrel with someone because of these things? I, Xu Ping, am not so unbearable! Because others say that I am an official, I use my official position to oppress people! ”

Yan Shu looked at Fan Zhongyan, and then at Xu Ping, he was really confused, what did Xu Ping mean?

Xu Ping saw that these two people really didn't understand their thoughts, so he had to make his words clear: "What is the "Money Law Book" compiled for? Officials in the DPRK and China, regardless of their official position, can post on it as long as they have an idea related to the money law. There is no right or wrong, as long as the reason is explained clearly, everyone will discuss. It is to express what they have seen, so that the rulers can use it as a reference and learn from others' strengths. The more novel the idea, the better, even if it's a dream, I don't think there's anything. ”

Fan Zhongyan said: "What does Yunxing mean, shouldn't Ouyang Xiu say shopping coupons?" Rather, should it be said that the money law? ”

Xu Ping shook his head again and again: "No, it is very acceptable to say that shopping coupons!" It's Ouyang Xiu's way of talking about things, and the purpose of things, all of which have problems! He said that shopping vouchers, how to do it, what are the benefits of doing it, what are the disadvantages, which direction you can try, there is no problem, and it is excellent. But what is his text like? The shopping voucher and the money law were all mentioned, and I was about to see what he had to say, when suddenly he said, 'The one who is in charge of the matter is not wise'. ”

Speaking of this, Xu Ping's voice was a little higher: "Repeatedly, "Money Law Books" is about things! As a result, Ouyang Xiu's article was vague about the matter, and he said a few words, and when I asked him that day, he couldn't say why. sprinkled hundreds of words, just for the last seven words, 'The Lord is not wise'. To say that he is grandstanding is all light! In my opinion, it's purely to make trouble! ”

"Casual critics, saints don't dare to do this, he Ouyang Xiu dare! Talking about things, talking about things regardless of people, talking about people's deeds, talking about deeds regardless of hearts, this is the principle! If this principle is broken, things cannot be discussed. I worked hard and painstakingly to compile those "Money Law Books", and he did so, it was too frivolous! ”

Xu Ping looked at Yan Shu and Fan Zhongyan, and said in a deep voice: "When I said it that day, it was on those seven words. If he doesn't know what he is wrong with, he even thinks that I, Xu Ping, can't stand the accusations of others. That can only be said that if you look down on me Xu Ping, he is also not worthy of his name! ”

To be honest, Xu Ping thought that Ouyang Xiu's focus was wrong, he didn't focus on telling things, and he didn't think about it, but just talked quickly, and only thought about commenting on the country, which was not good. But at that time, he didn't go to his heart, and what he said to Ouyang Xiu was not serious, and he still criticized education.

Unexpectedly, in the past two days, people have kept coming to tell him that he was talking too much at that time, and Ouyang Xiu is a talented man who has a reputation for a while, and he should leave room for him to speak. Xu Ping thought about it, and the more he thought about it, the more wrong it became.

Regardless of the person, regardless of the deeds, when he was talking to Ouyang Xiu at that time, Xu Ping did not regard one point as the most important thing in his heart. When Fan Zhongyan mentioned it today, Xu Ping suddenly woke up.

Treating people and things wrong is one of the important root causes of the chaos of the government in history. It doesn't matter if what is done is right or not, and the conclusion of the evaluation is unwise, unkind, unjust, and villainous. Whoever is in power is a gentleman, and whoever steps down is a villain, and he can't wait to kill the other party. Those who follow me are gentlemen, and those who oppose me are villains, and there is chaos.

And it was Ouyang Xiu who carried forward this style. In the past two days, people have been coming to intercede with Ouyang Xiu, and Xu Ping really considered teaching Ouyang Xiu a lesson. (To be continued.) )
