Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 543
Seeing that Zong Liang understood that he was the same, Wang Xiu couldn't help but smiled happily, and said: "It's true that Qianwei is far away, and the various ethnic groups are mixed together, but there are beautiful mountains and rivers, and the scenery is pleasant, making people linger! If Zimu can be safe Make up your mind, the imperial court will open up the Southwest in the future, which is a great opportunity for him to make contributions and establish a new life, it depends on whether he can seize the opportunity."

For a while, Zong Liang didn't keep up with Wang Xiu's leaping thinking, but he seemed to understand a little bit, and couldn't help but ask: "Sir, do you intend to open up the Southwest Military State?"

Wang Xiu glanced at Zongliang, seemed a little hesitant, and said in a deep voice, "This is a funeral matter. Once the court can do its best, the barbarians in the southwest must be converted. It will be a war no less than the Northern Expedition, and it is also a good time for you to show your talents. Hey, It's a pity that the imperial court can't develop such a rich area."

Zong Liang was excited for a while, and a lot of information was revealed in one sentence, which is definitely a big deal!

Opening up the southeast coast, naturalizing the southwest Baiyi, and recovering the homeland in the Northern Expedition are all good opportunities to make contributions.No one would refuse the opportunity of meritorious deeds and being famous in history. He knew that if he followed Wang Xiu closely, he would definitely have a place for himself, enough to be famous in history, and the secretion of adrenal hormones accelerated.

Outside, Xu Zhong's voice came, saying: "Master, Mr. Zhongli is here."

Zong Liang frowned, and a strange look flashed in his eyes, but he stood still, with no intention of avoiding it.

"Please." Wang Xiu didn't let Zong Liang go out either.

Not long after, Zhong Lirui, who was dressed in white and had a neat appearance, came in radiantly. He was Wang Xiu's absolute confidant. Naturally, he didn't have to wait for a name card and could directly enter the outer mansion, so he came quickly.

"Okay, no need for those common etiquettes, let's sit down and talk." Wang Xiu said very casually, he stopped Zhong Lirui from saluting.

Zhong Lirui was not polite, and sat down on the chair on the left, Zong Liang sat on the right.

In the past few years, Zhong Lirui has been proud of his spring breeze. He has a background of Jinshi and the first degree, and he has been vigorously trained by Wang Xiu.In just a few years, he used Zhimi Pavilion and released it to a big county for three years. After returning last year, he was registered as Zhibaowen Pavilion, You Sijian, and Chongzheng Palace Storyteller. , especially when the storyteller is by the emperor's side, which indicates that this guy has a bright future.

Not only can he write a letter to discuss politics, but he can also be an advisor to the emperor, and he can influence the decision-making of Zhao officials. It is simply cultivated deliberately, which makes people jealous.

"Seeing Mr. Qin on his way back to the mansion today, his expression was quite solemn, as if he was absent-minded. It must be today's court meeting, and your lord proposed a new policy." Zhong Lirui said with a smile on his face.

"It's pretty much the same." Wang Xiu tasted the tea ceremony, he didn't hide anything, on the contrary, he was very happy that Zhong Liqiu's judgment was correct, which was the accumulation of experience.

Zong Liang couldn't help but feel bad. As Wang Xiu's closest person, he didn't realize that Zhong Lirui could draw inferences from every sign, which made him very uncomfortable.He and Zhong Lirui have a good relationship, and both are Wang Xiu's most direct assistants, but people always have ideas, and there is definitely a competitive relationship, and he can't escape it.

"Brother, let's talk about the Huiyi case again." Wang Xiu turned to look at Zongliang.

Zong Liang had a toothache, which showed that Wang Xiu attached great importance to Zhong Lirui, but his face showed no expression, and he calmly explained it in detail.

Zhong Lirui pondered for a while, and said seriously: "Very good, it was a timely rain."

"How do you say that?" Wang Xiu frowned, out of interest.

"Someone gave me a pillow when I was sleepy, my lord will come back soon, and the new policies will be introduced one after another. The Huiyi case is an introduction and a knife." Zhong Lirui smiled lightly, with a smear of cruelty across the corner of his mouth.

Zong Liang frowned slightly, savoring carefully, he is also a smart person, he knows everything, and gradually tastes the three flavors.The introduction is to use the Huiyi case to deal with the Maritime Department.It is much easier than usual to reshuffle the cards of banks, naval forces, and even the entire coastal naval state to draw out new military and economic strategies.

Knife, it is easier to understand. For the stability of the government and the public, some cannot be dealt with openly, but this is definitely a sharp knife hanging over the head. If it is used properly, it will definitely get twice the result with half the effort. Even if some ministers are silent, they still support it.The most important thing is to build momentum. Wang Xiu's comeback needs to give people a decisive image. Five years is enough to make people forget, and blood is the best reminder.

He had to admire Zhong Lirui, and sighed secretly that it was no wonder Wang Xiu valued this guy, if he really had a few talents, just because he could quickly understand Wang Xiu's intentions and come up with the ability to plan, he was far behind him!The mood gradually became depressed, giving birth to a little precaution.

"Okay, Uncle Yong and I have the same idea. The knife is pretty good. It's been five years. Many people have forgotten my nickname, and even my Bailian straight knife." Wang Xiu's eyes lit up, and when he looked at Zhong Lirui again, he suddenly Startled, that ironic smile is simply a copy of Zhong Liqiu, but still a little bit green.

Zhong Lirui's ability surpassed that of the same year, and even reached the level of Jinshi in the Xuanhe period, and Wang Xiu's support cannot be ignored.A scholar died for his confidant, Wang Xiu treated him with the courtesy of a national scholar, and he repaid him with the power of a national scholar, without any pretensions, and said loudly: "Student's humble opinion, the reforms of the past dynasties have touched the interests of the family, and it is very difficult. Since your lord If you are determined to implement the New Deal, you should learn from the experience of the sages, and you must never enforce the government. There are too many villains in the world, and the adults are humble and gentlemen, but they can no longer be patient. Extraordinary things use extraordinary means. Cake and sharp knives go together to cultivate emerging vested interests. It must be done."

Wang Xiu's eyes lit up again, Zhong Lirui had hit the point, the combination of cake and sharp knife was very delicate.The most connotative thing is that no vested interest class can be formed, and everything cannot be said, which is absolutely the basic requirement for realizing social change.

His plan is also very simple. The upper echelons use the academy as a hotbed to train scholars with his ideas, gradually occupy the commanding heights of public opinion in the imperial court, and also subtly influence the people.The development of industry and commerce at the lower levels led to the rise of emerging banks and industrial and commercial capital, the economic influence of politics, the emergence of a large number of skilled workers, the formation of capital prototypes, and the ultimate goal of quantitative change leading to qualitative change.

"Mr. is a modest gentleman, how can he use villain methods." Zong Liang thought it made sense, but he was still not convinced.

"Gentleman and villain, one thought becomes a Buddha, one thought becomes a demon, the adult is the reincarnation of a fairy, seeks to govern the country and the world, and everything is based on the heart, how can there be a gentleman and a villain?" Zhong Lirui smiled playfully, and he promoted Wang Xiu. At the highest point, you still refute ass.

Zong Liang curled his lips and didn't say anything more, otherwise he would be disrespectful to Wang Xiu.

"It's too cheap for those people!" Wang Xiu smiled wickedly.

Zhong Lirui raised his brows, and said playfully: "There are priorities. My lord's plan for the New Deal will benefit thousands of years. Some clowns are just my lord's bargaining chips, so it's not worth mentioning."
