Chapter 14: Ouyang Xiu admits defeat
Seeing Xu Ping coming, Wang Gongchen and the others hurriedly saluted together. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Xu Ping nodded, not wanting to disturb them, and turned around to leave. The corner of his eyes swept away, and he saw Ouyang Xiu holding a copy of the "Money Law Book" edited by the three divisions in his hand, and his face was a little embarrassed.
Seeing this book, Xu Ping's face changed suddenly, and he walked forward quickly, looked at the book in Ouyang Xiu's hand and said, "Is this book also sold here?" How can it be sold here? Who let it be sold here? ”
Ouyang Xiu was a little dazed, turned his head to look around, and said in a low voice: "This book is placed here, Xia Guan saw it, and remembered that he said a few days ago that he wanted to print shopping coupons, and I was still talking nonsense, so I wanted to buy a copy and go back to see it." ”
Xu Ping calmed down and said to Ouyang Xiu: "You have to see, you can go to the regulations to ask for a set." Alas, this thing is not about you, this kind of book should not be placed here. This belongs to the category of the imperial court's discussion of politics, and it has not yet been decided, how can it be placed here and let the people buy it freely to see? The jury has not yet been made on how things will be done in the future, and it is causing a stir among the people, which is in vain! Can government also be such a child's play? ”
After speaking, Xu Ping called the little guy next to him and said to him: "Go and call the supervisor here, just say I'm looking for him!" ”
Seeing that Xu Ping's color was not good, the little guy agreed respectfully and ran away.
When the policy is still being discussed, or even now, it is not even discussed, so how can it be made public to the people? Although secrecy cannot be kept among officials at a certain level, this is an attitude that shows that it is just a discussion now, and it will not necessarily be implemented in the future. It is necessary to wait until there are precise implementation steps, as a means of publicity, that these contents can be selectively released to the public. Otherwise, it will only cause unnecessary confusion and will not do any good.
When it comes time to find recognition and supporters among the people, it is necessary to flip the table and work hard. Xu Ping does not have this idea now, and second, he does not have this need, nor does he have this preparation, and all the reforms are still under control and proceeding step by step.
In a moment, a supervisor in his forties rushed over, his face was full of nervousness, and when he arrived in front of Xu Ping, he just gave his hand again and again: "The little one is dead, listen to the orders of the deputy envoy!" ”
Xu Ping pointed to the "Money Law Book" on the shelf and asked, "Where did this book come from?" Which one is allowed to be sold here? ”
"It's a place where Shangguan said that he wants to sell books in the shop, especially the books printed by the third division and the Guozijian, so the little one will go to the two yamen to find it, this book is sent with other books, and the price has been calculated."
Xu Pingqiang held back the anger in his heart and said: "It's not about the price, and this book is not suitable for sale here!" Okay, I can't blame you for this, take down all the "Money Law Books" and send them back to the Three Divisions Regulations Editing Institute, and let them count the money for you! ”
The director promised, but his face was still full of puzzlement.
Xu Ping said: "How can these books, like the recitals of officials, flow to the people? You'll remember later, not every book can be sold here! ”
The director hesitated for a while, but still stubbornly asked: "Deputy envoy, what books can be sold, what books can't be sold, and there is no charter." What is placed here is what the Guozijian has promised. ”
Xu Ping turned his head to take a look, only to find that the books that Guozijian and Dujin Yuan fought were also placed here, and it seemed that it was really not about the shop, and the Guozijian was negligent in censorship.
Nowadays, Guozijian censors folk books, mainly strictly controlling the secrets of the imperial court and various chapters, of course, another focus is the cult that confuses people's minds, and forbidden books such as astronomical prophecies. Like the "Money Law Book", it was originally officially printed, and they were afraid that they didn't have this tendon in their hearts at all.
The most important thing in policy reform is to be effective and orderly, and I am most afraid that the world will be in chaos if I make a move, so how can this kind of book flow to the people. A businessman with a heart may not make any moves based on the discussion in the book.
The supervisor called a few servants, and according to Xu Ping's instructions, he removed all the sets of books about the yamen, and put them in the warehouse to wait for instructions.
Xu Ping sighed, it seemed that he wanted to take some time to talk to Fan Zhongyan about how Guozijian should check the book. Even the methods of book number and edition management in the previous life can be used, so as not to make a mess of the book market before it has even flourished.
Looking at the people in the shop receiving the books, Ouyang Xiu didn't know what to do with the "Money Law Book" in his hand, he didn't put it down, and he didn't hold it in his hand.
Xu Ping said to him: "This book will be given to you, if you have any questions, you can go to the third division to find me at any time." This set of books was printed for officials, but it is not suitable for dissemination to the people. ”
Ouyang Xiu arched his hand: "Thank you for waiting for the system." However, the lower officials think that there is nothing ulterior in these books, so why not let the people read them? Let the literate broaden their knowledge. ”
"It's so simple! It's just to broaden what I have seen, but I'm afraid that some people will compare it with the decrees of the imperial court and match it with the book, so they will do everything possible to drill the camp, and if they don't match it, they will feel resentful. It's fine if this book is written by ordinary readers, but when it is printed by the official yamen, especially from the third division, how much do you think it will increase your knowledge just by reading it? It's Uncle Yong, yourself, didn't you always have to understand it when you first saw it? ”
Speaking of the past, Ouyang Xiu was a little embarrassed, and said to Xu Ping: "It's a certain shallow knowledge, today I saw the shopping coupons of the three divisions unimpeded, and sent them to our own hands, we also feel that it is convenient, and I know that I have far-reaching insights in the money law." I hope that I will forgive me for the offenses I have committed in the money law in the past. ”
Although the previous gambling contract was not decided, and finally it was settled, he calmly admitted his mistakes, and did not admit his mistakes.
However, admitting mistakes is mistakes, but it is clear that it is the understanding of money law. He is a young official who has not really taken care of government affairs, and there is no shame in losing to the deputy envoy of the third department who is in charge of money and grain. But in other aspects, Ouyang Xiu was still full of confidence, and he absolutely looked down on Xu Ping, an official of the Third Division who could only manage money and food.
Famous ministers use the great road to support the king, and everything is about the rules and conventions, and the small officials do it.
Xu Ping not only talked about the law in everything, but also printed books for everyone to discuss, which Ouyang Xiu looked down on. If you recognize something, you should go to the court to promote the world, Xu Ping is obviously weak and not confident in himself.
Scholars who read the books of sages and sages will understand the way of sages, and they will naturally be able to generalize the affairs of the world. With a righteous and heroic spirit in your heart, you should naturally be confident and generous in doing things. Like Xu Ping, he didn't even know himself, he tried left and right, and he looked like he was not sure of being cautious, Ouyang Xiu naturally couldn't look down on it.
Xu Ping looked at Ouyang Xiu and saw that his attitude of admitting his mistakes was very sincere, but the arrogance in his bones could not be concealed.
Shaking his head lightly and smiling, Xu Ping didn't bother to speak. This kind of self-confidence can only be found by those who have read a book for a few days without the world. I've really done things, or I've figured things out, and I can't pretend to be confident. (To be continued.) )
