Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 140
Wang Xiu was very surprised. He never thought that the big money was proposed by Zhong Liqiu. It seems that many of Cai Jing's improvement methods have Zhong Liqiu's shadow. No wonder no one in Shangshui County dared to lift Zhong Liqiu's beard. Sorry!
"Seeing that the government is in disgrace, Zhao's family is all about enjoying themselves, and the court's ministers are fighting for fame and fortune, I am almost disheartened, so I live in seclusion in Shangshui County." Zhong Liqiuqiu's tone was still angry, mixed with thousands of emotions.

Wang Xiu suddenly smiled mysteriously and said, "It seems that Mister is not reconciled."

"I'm not reconciled, you know?" Zhong Liqiu looked at Wang Xiu playfully.

"If you are completely disappointed, the famous mountains and great rivers are the best destination. Why bother to stay in the market place? Shangshui is in the border area of ​​Gyeonggi, and you can watch the dynamics of the court at any time. You have entered the county school to teach, and you obviously have the intention to train new people. It is a pity that Tokyo is so flat. , There is no shortcut to the end!" Wang Xiu's eyes flickered, but it was just a literati trick, and he had never eaten pork or seen a pig running.

In the Tang Dynasty, those "hermits" who were interested in fame and fame often lived in seclusion in Zhongnan Mountain, waiting for an opportunity to be summoned by the emperor, and made great achievements in the past, while the hermits in the Song Dynasty mostly wandered in the market.

Zhong Liqiu grinned, stroked his three-inch beard lightly, and said seriously: "You're right, it's not enough to teach Shang Shui not to train newcomers, but to be forced by life."

"Forced by life?" Wang Xiu almost laughed, he obviously didn't believe it.

Zhong Liqiu said indifferently: "If you obey the law and obey the law, even if you are begging for the bones of the government, you will have to spend your own money for food and medicine in the future. There are so many human relationships, can you not be embarrassed?"

"That's right." Wang Xiu thought about what Zhong Liqiu said made sense. This year is not a life-long system for cadres, and there is no retirement treatment for cadres above the county level. At most, the salary is halved, and there is no need to spend money on eating and drinking.Even Wang Anshi, who is famous all over the world, had to bring his own soup and medicine when he retired to Jiangning, and his life was quite embarrassing.

"What do you think about current political affairs?" Zhong Liqiu didn't hesitate, and went straight to the topic.

Wang Xiu gritted her teeth and said, "What do you think? The student has just gained fame, and he may be dispatched to another place soon."

Zhong Liqiu frowned, and said with a smile: "If you think like this, there is nothing you can do. I think Tokyo is at the time of the meeting, and it would be a pity to miss the excitement!" He sipped the lychee wine, and said: "Oh, according to the expectations of the officials and Cai Xianggong, it is almost a foregone conclusion that you will stay in Tokyo."

Wang Xiu was silent for a while, he couldn't deny Zhong Liqiu's words, from the beginning of the theory of mind learning to Cai Jing and Zhao Ji, his ideas seemed to be moving towards reality step by step, but it was not the taste he thought.

Zhong Liqiu's words became a prophecy. Everything was just to satisfy the emperor's greed. In the final analysis, the word 'money', the only advantage is that he can stay in Tokyo.

"Sir, it seems that the student is wrong." He shook his head and smiled.

Zhong Liqiu said seriously: "No, you are right, there is nothing wrong with it, what is wrong is people's greed. A small country with few people, governing by doing nothing is worthy of the sage's high opinion."

Wang Xiu was silent for a while, took a big sip of lychee wine, and said in a deep voice: "Students think that no matter what his purpose is, he doesn't ask who will host it, as long as he can help the world a little bit and benefit the people a little bit, it's worth going. Do."

"Unfortunately, the imperial court is about to die, are you capable of turning the tide?" Zhong Liqiu glanced at Wang Xiu, his eyes faintly eager.

"No, why did you return to Tokyo?" Wang Xiu met Zhong Liqiu's gaze without any evasion.

Zhong Liqiu also stared at Wang Xiu, smiled slowly, and said relaxedly: "So far, you have done well, but I still can't see hope, I just hold hope."

Wang Xiu was a little annoyed, Zhong Liqiu is too good at torturing people, if you have something to say, just say it clearly, don't bring such a grumpy person.

"A little bit annoyed, okay, it's good to be bloody." Zhong Liqiu looked at Wang Xiu playfully and smiled.

Wang Xiu couldn't stand the torture anymore. He lowered his voice and said, "Sir, I know that you have the ambition to help the world, but you failed and you can't see hope. That doesn't mean I can't. Please wait and see, sir."

There was a gleam of brilliance in Zhongliqiu's eyes, and he said with great interest: "I want to ask you, how can we deal with the aftermath?"

Wang Xiu's heart shuddered, and he had to admire Zhong Liqiu's foresight. Some court ministers objected, which only showed that they had foresight, but people in the Jianghu knew the pros and cons of the court's frontier tactics, and had seen the adverse consequences of uniting the Jurchens, so they couldn't Not to mention intelligent people.

He pondered for a moment, and then said slowly: "Sir, only great chaos can lead to great order."

Zhong Liqiu's eyes flashed brightly, his cheeks twitched obviously, and he said almost word for word: "Ten years of gathering, ten years of hard work, ten years of conquest, you are so bold and ruthless."

"There is no other way for the flowers to fall, just like what the master said is terminally ill, it is better to break and then stand." Wang Xiu's voice was very low, but her tone was very firm.

Zhong Liqiu's eyes looked very surprised, and his tone was a little excited, he said: "It seems that you have been prepared for a long time."

"Southeast." Wang Xiu said categorically, "At all costs." He looked at Zhong Liqiu at the same level, and calmly said: "Well, if, if one day I have to do it, sir, would you be interested?"

Zhong Liqiu's gaze returned to normal, he stared at Wang Xiu's small half-pillar, and then said a word, "Okay."

A smart person's dialogue is straightforward, needless to say so clearly, Wang Xiu knew that Zhong Liqiu accepted his proposition, and with the support of this wise man, he believed that his pressure would be relieved a lot.However, Zhong Liqiu's attitude also made him awe-inspiring. The so-called outstanding scholars can sacrifice the people for their own ambitions.

"For three days after the farewell, you should look at it with admiration. I heard Zhang Qiyuan say that you have taken the name of the watch. I wonder which great Confucianist crowned the watch?" Zhong Liqiu suddenly became enlightened, and his attitude became much more amiable.

Wang Xiu said with a sassy smile: "In front of Mr. Cai, I have to do it."

"Hehe, you!" Zhong Liqiu smiled cheerfully, and said, "However, you are right to be cautious, Mr. Cai is getting old!"

Wang Xiu curled his lips, he quite agrees with the original decision, it can't be near or far, it's an exchange of words.

"Back then, Cai Xianggong also showed kindness to me, but in the end he parted ways. Life is really ridiculous." Zhong Liqiu smiled bitterly, and said: "Nowadays, Tong Taiwei and others in the court advocate the union of Jurchen, and Cai Xianggong is perfunctory. Liang Shicheng's attitude is ambiguous."

Wang Xiu smiled lightly, and said playfully, "Sir, the general trend cannot be stopped. I don't know if Mr. will return to officialdom, or continue to enjoy the world?"

"You are asking knowingly." Zhong Liqiu rarely rolled his eyes.

"It seems that the master is going to come out of the arena again and become a master of the world."

"Cai Xianggong recommended to the officials, I will be the Zhilong Tuge."

"Zhilong Tuge?" Wang Xiu curled her lips and said disdainfully: "Cai Xianggong is too petty, so he gave him a post from Liupin Shangguan Pavilion. As a gentleman, even the two houses can take on it, no matter how bad it is. I have to give it to the Minister of the Six Departments of the Shangshu."

"Hehe, the two mansions don't give people casually. The servant is already the official of the prime minister. Don't you know that the prime minister comes from the county and counties, and the generals are among the dead."

"I can see that those gentlemen from counties are mediocre. What is Wang Fu capable of? Li Bangyan is also an actor, but Tong Guan is also considered a talent." interest.

"Well, you passed out what Zhu Song said, I can't argue with you." Zhong Liqiu shook his head gently, and said: "You must be more humble during this time, and don't let others follow you. Especially Bachelor Wang."

"What the master said is that students know what to do." Although Wang Xiu also understands the truth that Mu Xiu must be destroyed by Lin Feng, he has been working hard to do it, but sometimes things develop beyond his expectations, and he doesn't look for trouble. Looking for him, I want to be calm and depressed but I am not reconciled. I just do it in a moment of arrogance. Debates and poems are indeed very popular.

"I think you should stay in Tokyo for two years and then go out, that's the right way."

Wang Xiu suddenly thought of Zong Liang, Feng Yuan and the others, and thought of the nursing home, with Qin Mo Yan's beautiful smile lingering in his mind, he seemed to have an epiphany, and said slowly: "Sir, I would like to go back to Shangshui to run a few years of schooling. .”

"Running a school." Zhong Liqiu looked at Wang Xiu meaningfully, and asked in a deep voice, "When did you have this idea?"

"I had this idea when I was taking the exam in Wanqiu. At that time, I didn't even care about myself, so naturally I didn't mention it to anyone. Now I think education is the foundation of a century-old plan, and it should start with children."

Wang Xiu sincerely expressed his thoughts, he was definitely not talking casually, just now he suddenly understood that a wise man like Zhong Liqiu also despaired of the world, he was like a boat struggling in the vast ocean, Know how far you can go.

Early childhood education can affect a lifetime. A child is like a blank sheet of paper. How you describe it can basically determine his future thoughts. If you continue to cultivate people who can inherit ideas and ideas, and pass them on from generation to generation, you can predict a certain future. One day, the sky was full of peaches and plums.

Although Zhong Liqiu didn't know Wang Xiu's thoughts, he understood the importance of education. If you want to develop your academics and even make continuous progress, you must have students to inherit it. A sage has three thousand disciples, let alone them!

"It's a good idea. It's the way of a sage, and someone needs to pass it on."

Wang Xiu nodded, and said calmly: "Education is the foundation of a century-old plan." It was a shameless steal, but he felt at ease, and it was his own. Besides, it was something everyone understood, but the way of saying it was different.

"However, I still have to be short of something."

"Oh, what's missing?"

"Sir, if you can improve the quality and output of steel, then improve some mechanical technology, can you?" Wang Xiu carefully expressed his thoughts on social technological improvement.

Zhong Liqiu's face was a little weird, and his eyes were full of disbelief.
