Qiming 1158

Chapter 997
In the Southern Song Dynasty, every disaster relief was when the officials made a lot of money, so the bureaucrats in the Southern Song Dynasty were actually very enthusiastic about "disaster relief".

Of course, their practice often makes disaster victims more miserable and more people die.

However, they don't care, they just make more money.

If you die, you will die. Anyway, peasants and thieves can survive. They also pay attention to having more sons and more blessings. If one dies, one will regenerate two. Never worry that there is no population to continue exploiting and squeezing.

This is originally the "since ancient times" of the Southern Song Dynasty, but if the Ming Dynasty intervenes and rescues all the victims according to their methods of handling affairs, shouldn't those victims be moved to death?

At that time, as long as those Ming officials say that this is the relief food given to you by the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the money spent in the Southern Song Dynasty will become the money spent in the Ming Dynasty. Didn't the Southern Song Dynasty lose his wife and surrender?

Lu You could imagine that scene.

The bureaucrats of the Southern Song Dynasty will definitely struggle to drag their feet, and they will definitely work hard to destroy the good situation.

In the end, there will definitely be an international dispute, which will arouse the amazement of allies, and then the Ming army once again marches on the Yangtze River. It is the bureaucrats of the Southern Song Dynasty who are uncomfortable.

Lu You had a basic understanding of the group of people who didn't cry without seeing the coffin. Even if he knew how the Ming Congress would react, he wouldn't be soft-hearted when it came time to make money. Anyway, the emperor was in front.

When the emperor is gone, people with steel knives on their necks will still have illusions and feel that they can survive and continue to enjoy.

If you don't see the coffin, you won't cry, and if you don't see the Yellow River, you won't die.

Lu Youshang understood his colleagues so well, not to mention Chen Kangbo.

He immediately understood that Su Yonglin's conditions were impossible to accept.

Not to mention whether Zhao Tan would agree or not, even if Zhao Tan agreed, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty would resist desperately and would never accept it.

Chen Kangbo himself would not agree.

But Chen Kangbo was very confused.

Because his basis for judging whether the Ming Kingdom will go south in the near future is whether Su Yonglin relents and delays the collection of New Year coins.

Now Su Yonglin has let go, but he has imposed very strict conditions, so that he does not know how to judge the time limit for the Ming Kingdom to go south.

After thinking about it, Chen Kangbo felt that Fan Su Yonglin had given up. Although he put forward conditions, even if there was a [-] in [-] chance that the Southern Song Dynasty would agree, the income of this year's coin would also be reduced, and he must be willing to accept this matter.

He took the initiative to propose, the Southern Song Dynasty agreed, and then he went back on it. This kind of thing is not something that the Ming Kingdom can do. Seeing that Su Yonglin has set such harsh conditions, it is obviously not a child's play, but a very formal one. discuss.

Therefore, Chen Kangbo has reason to believe that Su Yonglin is not joking, he is serious, seriously considering this matter, and seriously agrees with this matter.

Chen Kangbo had a bottom line in his heart, and immediately decided to make a fool of himself, and when he returned to the Southern Song Dynasty, he pushed this matter away in the form of a national letter, as if it had never happened.

Isn't it beautiful?

Thinking of this, Chen Kangbo knew what to do.

"Your Majesty's words are very involved and exceed the maximum decision-making authority of foreign ministers. Therefore, foreign ministers cannot give His Majesty a positive answer. Only after returning to Lin'an can I ask the Emperor of our country to give His Majesty the final answer. Please forgive me."

Su Yonglin nodded.

"This matter involves a lot. It's really not something you can decide. I can understand it. You can make a decision after you go back and discuss it with the emperor of the Southern Dynasty. Besides, is there anything else to say?"

Chen Kangbo had basically got the answer he wanted, so he didn't want to say more to tease Su Yonglin's emotions, so as not to irritate Su Yonglin and the civil and military generals of the Ming Dynasty.

"His Majesty's grace is so great that my country has deeply felt it, and I dare not have any other extravagant hopes. I only hope that the kingdom of Ming Dynasty will be prosperous and prosperous."

He resumed his low stance, shrank into an ostrich, and said festive words, no longer a mess.

In this regard, Su Yonglin didn't say anything, just nodded and announced a banquet to entertain the envoys of the Southern Song Dynasty - although they did some rude things and said some rude words, but as the upper country, after all, they must have tolerance.

Although he thought that he would soon be able to go south to destroy them and dominate the Han land, but for now, he still has to give them some treatment so that they will not be so anxious.

But no matter what they did, no matter how they tinkered with the Southern Song Dynasty, at most they were nothing more than Li Hongzhang, a paper craftsman in his life.

At this moment, Su Yonglin looked at Chen Kangbo with a sense of sight of Li Hongzhang.

I just don't know whether he is a weakened version of Li Hongzhang or an enhanced version of Li Hongzhang, and I don't know how much he can repair the Southern Song Dynasty, and how long he can withstand the attacks of the conservative bureaucrats of the Southern Song Dynasty.

The visit of the envoys of the Southern Song Dynasty is almost over here. The next step is to let them rest for a few more days and play a few more days out of courtesy. Then go back and forth, hurry up, don't let us spend money here .

Su Yonglin also has a lot of things to do, not only to govern the country, to deal with military and state affairs, but also to make time to write articles, lead social changes, and break feudal ethics.

He not only wanted to seize power from the feudal bureaucracy, but also to take full action from the cultural aspect, transforming the feudal culture that served the ruling class into a people's culture that served everyone.

Therefore, he not only promoted Zhao Xirui to give full play to his literary talents and wrote many excellent articles, but also relied on the incentives of manuscript fees and internal recognition to encourage those who are good at literary creation among the members of the Renaissance Society to create a series of people's literature.

Of course, he will do it himself.

In addition to "Hong Wu Zheng Lun", he will also write some vernacular novels with storylines to lead the trend, and personally end up as an emperor to lead the literary trend.

For example, what he is preparing now is "School of Foreign Studies", which he adapted with the characteristics of the times.

The original version of "School of Foreign Studies" was written in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the background was placed in the Zhu Ming Dynasty. If Su Yonglin wanted to ridicule the scholars, of course, the background should be placed in the Song Dynasty.

This book is known as the peak of Chinese satirical literature, but in Su Yonglin's opinion, this book is more than satirical and insufficiently aggressive.

It focuses on exposing and ridiculing the ills of society, and mercilessly criticizing those with inferior character, but the solution is not revolution, but the hope that the scholar-bureaucrat with "noble character" will lead the moral trend and carry out social reform. Retrofit.

This book satirizes the ills of society and those with inferior character, and at the same time enthusiastically praises the noble literati-bureaucrats.

Satire is irony, dissatisfaction is dissatisfaction, and after all, there is no complete denial of the imperial examination system, so Su Yonglin decided to change it.

On the one hand, the theme was changed from improvement to revolution, and on the other hand, it was decided to adapt the original book's pattern of main characters and story frames that did not run through, and to determine a clear protagonist.

He put the historical background in the middle and late Northern Song Dynasty when the imperial examination system was basically formed, and described the process of the protagonist from being a fan of the imperial examination system to being enlightened, and taking the road of breaking through and then standing up.

It is said that it is a foreign scholar, but it cannot be regarded as a foreign scholar, or both are scholars, but one cannot get out of the circle, and the other decides to break this rule and blaze a new path. Completely end this irreversible cycle.

The original irony makes a lot of sense.

Once a person is elected, even if he was just a poor old Confucian scholar, he will immediately become a new noble in the feudal society. A large number of people who can't make a living will quickly come up to raise relations and climb relatives, and they can do anything.

However, the Juren of the Song Dynasty was not as valuable as the Juren of the Ming Dynasty.

In the Song Dynasty, because of the extensive recruitment of scholars and the expansion of the imperial examinations, only Jinshi were really valuable, and Juren was only an identity and did not have the qualifications to be an official.

In addition, the imperial examination was a game for the rich, and it was very difficult for a family to enshrine a scholar who could study full-time. Basically, all the jinshi came from wealthy families, and there were very few poor people like Fan Zhongyan who were not pure of the poor.

Eating porridge with pickles every day can be considered as something to eat, eating porridge requires rice grain, and pickles need salt. If nothing else, considering the level of salt prices in the Song Dynasty, if you can eat porridge with pickles every day, you are not considered poor, you must be considered as a poor person at that time. Middle.

Imperial examination, where is the game that the real poor can afford?
