Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 207 Homecoming 4
Wang Xiu lived happily in Shangshui County, and the small days were prosperous.In fact, according to his original intention, he really didn't want to get married so early, he was only 20 years old!In that life, we hadn't graduated from college, so it was a good time to pick up girls.

However, he is very satisfied with this life. Whether it is Youqin Moyan or Wen Xijun, they are both peerless beauty. If it is not easy to say, they are pure natural beauties at the level of disaster. If it is in the future, he will never even think about it.Movie star level?Don't be kidding, don't you see that a certain star can scrape off a piece of pink skin.

A kind but somewhat savage wife, and a clever but soul-stirring concubine, what a blessing for everyone!
In the court, a conspiracy against Wang Xiu is underway.

Cai You absolutely cannot let Wang Xiuzai return to the office. He is in control of the office, but Wang Xiu has left a deep impression on him. Who knows what kind of tricks this kid can play when he comes back. If there is a falling out, Wang Xiu can't let Wang Xiu make trouble again, there is still a way.

Taking advantage of Zhao Ji's joy in marrying his daughter, he wrote a memorial saying that the operation of the office is indispensable for the operation of the office.

Zhao Ji was overjoyed, so he asked Cai Jing, who knew that Cai Jing, uncharacteristically, agreed with the eldest son's memorial.

"I wonder if there is another yamen. Well, is there any vacancy under the Zhongshumen?" Zhao Guan's family is not confused.

"There is no shortage of ministries in every yamen."

"This is not easy." Zhao Ji was a little embarrassed. He chose a good son-in-law, but he didn't want to transfer Wang Xiu away.

"Wang Xiu lacks the experience of a large county. If His Majesty can let him experience the county, he will be a talent that can be used in the future."

"Well, where does the Qing family think Wang Xiu is?"

"Xuzhou Li Guojian."

This guy Cai Jing finally spoke for Wang Xiu. No matter how the old power minister calculated, from Cai Yi and Zhong Liqiu, or from political considerations, he still did not completely abandon Wang Xiu. Xiu went to Cai Gengdao as a supervisor.

All this will be until next year, Wang Xiu is still living a leisurely life in Shangshui, Wangji Department Store is looking at the production of rock candy, the business is booming!Wang Qingzhu is thinking about moving the main store to Kaifeng, Tokyo, and the elders of the family will also live together, enjoying a few days of happiness in the bustling Tokyo.

It's a pity that Wang Cheng and Mrs. Xie are used to the life in Shangshui. The people they have known all their lives are in Shangshui, so they can't leave at will.Besides, Widow Li also lived here, and her only daughter also left with her, so she couldn't do it alone without taking care of her.

Of course, Wang Xiu does not advocate that the two elders go to Tokyo, and even wants them to live in Hangzhou or Chengdu, but that is unrealistic, even Kaifeng, Tokyo is not willing to go, and even thousands of miles away is not even considered.

But he has no objection to opening another branch in Kaifeng or moving the main store there. Big cities have the advantages of big cities. Even in five or six years, the income is more than that in small counties.

Outside of things, looking at the little things that happened in the past year, it seems much clearer, and I can also see some things and some people that I can't see in the situation, there are gains and losses, pros and cons.

Whether it's the bank or the Southeast Maritime Bureau, it doesn't make much sense in his eyes. He tried his best to correct the improvements that he could not lead, but the results were not satisfactory. Even some of Zhong Liqiu's actions, he couldn't fully agree with them.

Everything is just an empty shell, something with vain appearance, not even meeting the minimum requirements of his philosophy, at best it can only be used as a framework for future improvement.

As for the office led by Cai You, he didn't even think about it.

The news that came recently made him very helpless. Whether it was Zhao Ding or other officials of the Maritime Safety Administration, they showed little interest in the government organizing armed fleets and civilian ships to go to sea together.

Zhao Ding's attention was almost all on preparing money and preparing low-interest loans to farmers for farming. Even Zhong Liqiu was cautious, and only counted and classified merchant ships from various places. Saying the frame is put up, not even a bird feather, at best the Coast Guard.

From what he has seen and heard in his previous life, the Song Dynasty was the dynasty that paid the most attention to foreign trade. He was a little confused that Zhong Liqiu, Zhao Ding and others with innovative ideas would fail to realize the importance of extending overseas trade to overseas conquests.

Another important task of the Southeast Maritime Bureau has hardly been carried out, which is to supervise the construction of large-scale ocean-going armed blessing ships. The shipbuilding must have been built, but the speed of progress made him extremely disappointed, and he couldn't help but ask.

What exactly is Zhongliqiu hesitating about?He couldn't understand it, and he couldn't write to ask him. About this, he didn't understand it until several years later.

However, Zhong Liqiu and Zhao Ding are definitely capable people. Their administration left the court speechless. The Emperor Song Jiangning Industrial and Commercial Bank provided low-interest loans to farmers in the southeastern military prefectures, which indeed ensured effective farming during the farming season.He has already begun to borrow money from maritime merchants and factory owners, and he will be able to receive stable principal and interest next year. Even Zhao Ji, who is the emperor, can't help being excited about the impending wealth.

He couldn't ask so many questions anymore. During the time he lived at home, Li Changsheng, Liu Renfeng, Bo Zhang and other boys often asked him questions, and he explained them one by one.

In the early morning, after Wang Xiu washed and had breakfast, he called you to the study to analyze the problem for them

Li Changsheng, Liu Renfeng, Feng Yuan, Jing Bo, Bo Zhang, Qin Min, Gao Kan, and Qiu Yun, each of them has its own strengths, and they are all full of energy
The most outstanding ones are Liu Renfeng and Feng Yuan, one is personable, with the elegance of an orthodox person;But he is very optimistic about Qin Min. This is a very ordinary kid at first glance, but he has a background of extraordinary intelligence. Don't look at his indistinct smile, his absent-minded smile, and sometimes the corners of his eyes slip Just a touch of light makes you feel his unknown wisdom.

"How's your reading going these few days... Mmm." Wang Xiu took a sip of tea, with a gentle and stern expression. "Is there anything else you don't understand?"

"Sir, these days we have started to read about politics, and there are many doubts in some places." Liu Renfeng is the most knowledgeable, and of course wants to talk.

"Where is it, tell me." Wang Xiu frowned.

"The discussion of state affairs, the establishment of ceremonies, and the exercise of power in the council of scholars and communes, no matter how big or small the political affairs, can only be implemented after the approval of the council. I think the council of scholars and communes is chosen by the common people, which will place the emperor and the officials. Wouldn't it mess up the yin and yang universe?" Liu Renfeng had some doubts between his brows.

Wang Xiu smiled in satisfaction. He was not very optimistic about Liu Renfeng. This child may have come from a scholarly family and received a deep traditional education. He was the most questioned and slow to accept new things.

However, the reason why he is satisfied is that he wants this effect. If no one dares to question it boldly, it will be his biggest failure.

Liu Renfeng, Li Changsheng and others dared to raise doubts in their hearts and did not absolutely agree with other people's thoughts, which showed that they had their own thinking, and he lamented that his choice was correct.My ideal is to start with children, who have not been imprisoned by the curse of Confucianism. Although they are not too young now, there is still a possibility of recovery. It is not that Confucianism is not good, let alone rejecting tradition, but Let them learn to think for themselves.

"Very good, very good, you are not too old, but you see the problem very sharply, and it is a proper benefit." Wang Xiu smiled and said: "The council of scholars and commoners does not ignore the emperor and the officials, and the officials also Yes." At this point, he changed the topic and asked: "The emperor guards the country with three or six ranks, does anyone of you know?"

"Above is bright but without desire, the country is strong; bright but has desire, the country is weak; middle is mediocrity but has no desire, the country is weak; mediocre but has desire, the country is weak. Below is violent but without desire, the country Cruelty; those who are violent and lustful will perish the country." Li Changsheng rushed to answer, and glanced at Liu Renfeng triumphantly.

"Although it's not complete, it can be considered comprehensive. Think about it, since the ancestor of the Song Dynasty struggled to found the country, he has always been kind to scholars. Every three years, he takes a scientific examination and selects all scholars from all over the world to become an official. It can be said that there are no talents in the imperial examination. I am also What I have experienced is really touching." Wang Xiu pondered for a while, and then said lightly:

"There are no noble families in the Wei and Jin Dynasties in this dynasty, let alone Sui and Tang dynasties. Most of the scholars are from common people. Even today's major official families are nothing more than poor families. They have made meritorious deeds for generations. Therefore, it is true that all officials come from the people, and more people become officials. There is a distinction between yin and yang, the extreme yang is the ruler, and the extreme yin is the people. They seem to be two poles, but they are actually one."

"Common people enter the government to assist the emperor to govern the people. The emperor guards the country with three or six grades. The emperor is clear but has no desires, and his ministers are virtuous and capable. The country is strong for only a few decades. Don't even think about the rest. Incorporate the wisdom of the people to make up for the lack of knowledge and energy of the ministers, the performance of the officials' moral administration is supervised by the people, and the implementation of government orders is also supervised by the people."

"There are too many scholars and concubines, and the opinions will definitely not be consistent. It is definitely not a good thing to be unresolved for a long time." Liu Renfeng retorted.

Wang Xiu also understood the disadvantages of the parliamentary system. He sighed softly and said, "It's hard for you. It's natural if you don't understand the truth. Even I haven't done in-depth research, but you have to keep it in your heart and study hard. In the future I learned slowly through experience in the world. The system of discussing affairs between scholars and common people is not a panacea for governing the world. The people's wisdom is not enlightened, and they must not be implemented on a large scale. I don't know if there will be such a day, I am afraid that you and I will not see it."

When Wang Xiu said this, a trace of confusion flashed across his eyes, and his thoughts turned to the details of the past year without knowing it.It is still possible to change history if you rely on your own strength, but it is really difficult to revitalize China's millennium fortune!

"That is to say, it is the best choice for the scholar-bureaucrats of this dynasty to rule the world with the emperor." Liu Renfeng looked eagerly.

"It's very good, but there are still some key things missing!" Wang Xiu didn't deny Liu Renfeng's words, but he didn't fully agree with them.
