Chapter 194: Position
In the smoke and rain, the Jinming Pond is endless, and the water and sky are connected into a line. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoThere is no wind, no waves, only a mist in front of you, and the tall buildings and boats in the lake loom in the smoke, looking like a fairy dwelling.
In this smoke and rain, Xu Ping and Fan Zhongyan took a few pavilion personnel all the way to the agreed place. Some young officials who had been waiting here for a long time saw Xu Ping and Fan Zhongyan coming, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
After the ceremony, Xu Ping and Fan Zhongyan sat down in the first place.
Whether it is in terms of official position and title, Xu Ping is above Fan Zhongyan, and he is respected today. In fact, the cost of today's party is also the money paid by Xu Ping's family.
Liu Xiaoyi, who had already come here, hurriedly ran over from the water's edge, holding a large handful of signs in his hand, and after saluting, he distributed them to Xu Ping, Fan Zhongyan and the others later, and said: "Official, today's piece is all contracted by our family, you can have fun to your heart's content, and you don't have to worry about outsiders disturbing you." If anything, just tell me. ”
Fan Zhongyan took the sign in his hand and said to Xu Ping: "Today, I have to worry about the system." ”
Xu Ping smiled: "A little thing, it's not worth anything, just have fun today." In this kind of weather, the fish in the water have to come out to breathe, and it is easier to catch than usual. All show their skills, catch a few big fish out, there are people on my village to clean up, all of them are Jiangnan craftsmanship, which will definitely make everyone feast. ”
Liu Xiaoyi ran all the way to distribute signs to the people who came after, and said: "There are fishing rods and baits by the water, so you officials can go and get them yourself." The water here is deep, there are a lot of big fish, and all the officials are happy. ”
Although this area is covered, fishing still has to be based on a brand. Jin Mingchi is a royal business, and the supervisors who watch the pool also have to make some extra money by themselves, these people are the children of the powerful, and no one will give face.
Among the later people, Song Qi of the Zhishi Museum said loudly: "There is a courtesan over there, why don't you sing a new song to listen to?" While listening to the music, while fishing, you can live up to the beautiful scenery in front of you! ”
A few young people applauded.
This kind of party will look weird without the help of courtesans, and Xu Ping will not be stingy with this money, so he ordered Liu Xiaoyi to call a group of famous people to come and wait by the side.
Seeing the warm atmosphere, Zhang Xianlai stood up among the people who came first, and arched his hand: "A few days ago, the moonlit night was boring, and I filled in a new song "Acacia Order", which can't meet today's scenery, but the season is just right, why don't you let those ladies perform and listen?" ”
There was a humane in the crowd: "Ziye's words are the most widely sung and the most subtle, and if there are new words, you naturally want to listen to them!" ”
Liu Xiaoyi's eyes were obedient, and when he saw this scene, he hurriedly called the courtesans to come closer.
Xu Ping and Fan Zhongyan glanced at each other, both smiled slightly, and ignored them.
Now in the pavilion, most of the Jinshi in the second year of Tiansheng and the eighth year of Tiansheng, and most of the Jinshi in the fifth year of Tiansheng have left the pavilion to take up their posts, and the low-level ones have not had a chance to come in. For example, Wang Yaochen is now guarding his father's funeral, Han Qi, Zhao Zhen, Wu Yu and others have left the pavilion to take up real positions, but Xu Ping is involved because of the promotion system. And the lower ranking, such as Wen Yanbo has just been promoted by the magistrate, Bao Zheng is still filial piety at home, and there are still a few years left before entering the pavilion. Of course, this is also related to their encounters, there are not many Jinshi who are famous for literature at that time, and there are few officials who happen to meet veterans and important ministers.
In the second year of Tiansheng, there were the most Jinshi, such as Song Qi, Zheng Jian, Yin Zhu, Zeng Gongliang, Ye Qingchen and Gao Ruone. In the eighth year of the Heavenly Sage, Wang Gongchen, Liu Xin and Cai Xiang of Gaodi, as well as Ouyang Xiu, who had a special experience, were a few people. In the past few years, the distribution of pavilion personnel, in history, because the Qingli New Deal has affected their eunuch experience, the Jinshi of the fifth year of Tiansheng happened to avoid the party struggle and rose rapidly in the court.
Of course, it is different now, but Xu Ping does not have the support of the same year, and he seems lonely.
Zhang Xian arranged the singing and dancing of the courtesans there, and Xu Ping and Fan Zhongyan got up and led everyone to the water's edge.
Each person picked up a quasi-good fishing rod, put on the bait, threw it into the Jinming Pond, and then turned to watch the song and dance.
"When will the spring go? Asked Tao Li speechlessly. The swallows return to the wind, and the pear snow is chaotic in the West Garden.
There is still a moon Chanjuan. Like everyone, difficult to approach like the sky. I wish to teach Qingying to see each other and beg for a long round. ”
The tune of "Lovesick Order" is a little poignant, and with this singing lyrics, it is like crying. The Jinming Pond in front of him was shrouded in smoke and rain, like a dream, and unconsciously felt that there was a crescent moon hanging on his head.
Zhang Xiangong's slow words, his literary style is needless to say, especially when he writes about the affection between men and women, which is extremely expressive.
Xu Ping gently wiped a handful of water droplets from the fog accumulation on his face, looked at Fan Zhongyan beside him, turned around, and looked at the endless Jinming Pool.
The poems are charming, and most of the good lyricists write about love and love, and the status of the lyricists in this year is not high. Not to mention anything else, Zhang Xian is also a Jinshi in the eighth year of Tiansheng, and he has been friends with Ouyang Xiu and others in the Xijing Shogunate for many years, but this time he returned to Beijing but only kept the election, and did not get the quota in the pavilion, so he was not as good as Mei Yaochen, who was the first Jinshi.
It is precisely because of this that Xu Ping remembers the poems of later generations, and he will not show off on such occasions. It's completely useless to improve your status and status, and if you're not careful, you'll get into a text lawsuit.
Zhang Xian's "Acacia Order", as soon as Xu Ping listened to it, he remembered Su Shi's "Water Tune Song Head" that he had memorized in his previous life, in which there were a few sentences of "dancing to figure out the shadow", anyone who heard the two words would feel that they came out of Zhang Xian's words.
Many poems and articles that have been handed down to later generations actually have the shadow of others, and literati are not taboo when they write them, and they will even become beautiful conversations. But the premise is that he knows it well, and he will never hide it, which is quite a bit of a tribute. It's just that it has been passed down to future generations, and with the loss of the original work, it will be difficult for future generations to understand what it is.
Looking at the scenery in front of him, Xu Ping also remembered Fan Zhongyan's "The Story of Yueyang Tower" that was handed down to future generations. He himself has never been to Dongting Lake, and the place where he wrote the scenery was largely used in Yang Yi's "Hanxu Pavilion Record", but "Hanxu Pavilion Record" was lost, and "Yueyang Tower" has been passed down through the ages. Fan Zhongfan did not shy away from this, and the article was only sung all over the world, but Yoon so still criticized it many times. Xu Ping didn't know about these historical literary and ink lawsuits, but he had read "The Story of Hanxu Pavilion", and he was often vigilant in his heart, if it was not an article that he really wrote, it was better not to take it out for people to see jokes.
After a while, everyone came back to their senses and applauded together.
Xu Ping and Fan Zhong sat down on the chairs by the water, looking at the floats in the water, and neither of them spoke for a while.
Most of the people above the waiting system have other important ministries, and after a long time, they do not manage the affairs of the pavilion very much. Only the two of them have just risen up and often go to the rotation, and there are more contacts with these people.
Compared to Xu Ping, Fan Zhongyan is under more pressure. Recently, under the leadership of Guozijian, the pavilion ministers discussed current affairs, which made Lu Yijian very annoyed, and once asked someone to bring a message to Fan Zhongyan, to be made as an attendant, and to be prepared as an advisor to the saint, not a speech official, and should not ridicule current affairs. This is not just a sentence, it is carried by political pressure, Fan Zhongyan carried it silently, and did not tell others to know.
In contrast, although Xu Ping's political affairs were busy, these political pressures were much smaller, and he himself did not take the initiative to participate in the political debates. Take good care of your own one-third of an acre of land, and easily do not exceed your authority.
After a while, Fan Zhongyan spoke: "Two days ago, Xu waited for the system to play, and asked the imperial court to reward Kaifeng Mansion and Jingxi Road for opening up barren land, and Xintian was exempted from taxes for three years. With all due respect, this edict is an edict, and now the powerful families in the capital are swarming out to occupy the fields in the surrounding counties, which is probably not the blessing of the small people. ”
Speaking of this edict, Xu Ping was a little funny, he was inspired by Wang Su when the shop opened that day, and took advantage of the new agricultural tools to put a large number of new agricultural tools into the market, and pushed the policy to develop agriculture around the two capitals. Who knew that Zhao Zhen's sincerity was excessive, and he approved the things he played as they were, one was to reward the cultivation of fields around the two capitals, and the other was to restrict the monks in the world.
It's okay to reward the reclamation of the field, and the impact of the one-size-fits-all demolition of the temple is too great, which makes Xu Ping a little unbearable. At that time, when discussing Ouyang Xiu's article, Xu Ping just said casually, how can you be so tough when it comes to strategy.
Fortunately, Ouyang Xiu's "Original Cheats" attracted firepower, otherwise Xu Ping estimated that he would be arranged by the monks to go to hell. Ouyang Xiu didn't care, he was in high spirits now, he thought that following Han Yu's Taoism, it was imperative to exclude Buddhism and suppress morality, and if the monks didn't look for him, he would also find trouble with the monks.
Seeing that Xu Ping's face was relaxed and did not answer, Fan Zhongyan was a little displeased. Although he was promoted by virtue of his political achievements, the relationship between Xu Ping and Li Yonghe's family could not be erased, and there was always a suspicion of using relatives to promote. Moreover, he has an ambiguous attitude in government affairs, and although he has conflicts with Lu Yijian's party, he cooperates more often, and is very ostracized by the middle and lower-level officials around Fan Zhongyan.
"Xu Beiji, don't you think there's something wrong with what you say next?"
Fan Zhongyan asked again, Xu Ping came back to his senses, and hurriedly said: "No, Fan waiting, don't misunderstand, I just thought of other things." Speaking of the two capitals and reclamation fields, the powerful and wealthy families went out to enclose land, which naturally had drawbacks. However, no matter what there are pros and cons, it only depends on whether the pros or cons are great, and the disadvantages are not within the scope of bearing. Those fields are barren there, and no one has cultivated them for many years, which is always a waste for the imperial court. Whether it is a powerful person or a small farmer, it is always good to reclaim it. ”
"But the powerful enclose land and recruit villagers, even if it is beneficial in the family of the powerful, it is not profitable for the small people."
"That's the truth, but in addition to the benefits of the powerful, the court also benefits. In addition, the grain produced nearby, which must always be sold, also saves the suffering of transportation. Liangjing produces one stone of grain more, counting the cost of Caoyun, it is at least equivalent to two or three stones of Jianghuai, which is a big benefit. ”
"Grain is cheap and hurts farmers, Jianghuai has a lot of grain, and grain prices are falling more and more, and it is not known whether it is good or bad."
Xu Ping saw that Fan Zhongyan did not approve, and suddenly found that this problem became complicated. The so-called pulling a trigger affects the whole body, coupled with different positions and different angles to look at the same thing, the pros and cons are really not something that can be explained clearly in one sentence.
Fan Zhongyan considered the problem from the standpoint of a small farmer, and Xu Ping really didn't think about it carefully from this perspective. In Xu Ping's thoughts, it is only from a macro point of view, and it does not specifically refer to any class. Maybe Fan Zhongyan's idea also has some truth? It's really hard to explain without careful reasoning.
had different ideas, Fan Zhongyan did not directly oppose it, but discussed it with Xu Ping first, which was originally a kind of respect, and Xu Ping could not ignore this kindness. (To be continued.) )
