Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 837 Discussing politics with Shi Hao 2
The reason is very simple. Once the war starts, the southeast and Shuchuan military prefectures will bear heavy corvee and taxes. Even if they win the Jurchens and recover the lost land, the heavy construction costs will also be on their shoulders. They only oppose it for their own benefit. campaign.

Perhaps this reason is really ridiculous and will be attacked by some defenders of the future, but it absolutely exists.

The reason why the Song Dynasty still maintains an aggressive state policy is largely due to the fact that when it moved south, the old political groups were severely hit. Those ministers who preside over and talk about it either drove west early, or twisted palaces and places, and the new A generation of ministers occupied high-level official positions and were relatively influenced by him.

It should be said that today's two prefectures are the main fighters in the cloak of the Lord and the Harmony.That's it, he still has a thorn in his back, thinking that time is particularly urgent.

If there is no inheritance from the two major academies, in another ten or twenty years, I am afraid that you will be the main battle, and you will not get the support of Southeast Shengmin.

He raised a rare concern, and said in a gentle voice: "It's the court's fault that the examiner didn't choose Zhiweng. Zhiweng has been defeated and fought repeatedly, and he can persevere, which is commendable!"

Shi Hao was in a very depressed mood, but after he said it, he felt better. He didn't expect Wang Xiu to support him, and he didn't even bother to do speculative and nasty things.However, the words of repeated defeats and repeated battles made his eyes shine, and they were definitely words of encouragement for him!Let him suddenly see a glimmer of light in the darkness.

Couldn't help but drank the remaining wine in the cup, put the cup heavily on the table, and said in a deep voice: "I would like to make a small effort for the common people, but I have little talent and learning, and I won't be in the eyes of the court. Read it, and wait for the next year to compete for the Longfei list."

Wang Xiu looked at Shi Hao with satisfaction, feeling that Shi Hao was very persistent and a late bloomer.

Of course, if he wanted to support Shi Hao, he could still give it to a fellow Jinshi, but he didn't do it. Gold always shines. Suffering is not a bad thing for people. Now he said gently: "Zhi Weng has a heart of worrying about the world, and when it comes to lack of talent and learning But I don't think so! The classics and meanings are only used for self-cultivation and growth of knowledge. The ability to govern the country and the world is not something that can be learned in books, but accumulated achievements through continuous experience. It can be said that reading is for understanding. Governance is the state's business, and if all the talents in the world are selected through tribute elections, state affairs will not be reduced to this."

"Just look at Uncle Ming, who is not the Three Tripod Armor, so he managed to plan a strategy and stabilize the battle along the river?"

Shi Hao took a deep look at Zhong Lirui, he had his own political opinions, and he didn't completely agree with Wang Xiu's statement, but he still didn't refute it out of respect, he just nodded and said: "What Wang Xianggong said is reasonable, but I can't learn to be loyal to the public." The Analects of Confucius governing the world is no better than a gentleman turning the tide."

Wang Xiu knew that Shi Hao didn't fully agree with him, so he didn't take it seriously. If everyone came to agree with him, there would really be no people with lofty ideals in the world.

I think, Shi Hao has studied hard, and now he is in his thirties, and he has achieved fame and fame, which is obviously a person who has accumulated a lot of money.From the conversation just now, he knew that the other party has dabbled in everything from a hundred schools of thought to Buddhism and Taoism, so he would naturally have his own unique ideas. The more this kind of scholar, the more difficult it is to persuade.

He pondered for a while, decided to try the opponent's talent, and said seriously: "What does Zhiweng say about the North-South alliance?"

"The great fortune of the country." Shi Hao didn't hesitate at all, and his tone was particularly firm.

"Oh, why is it a great fortune for the country?" Wang Xiu frowned slightly, and a strange look flashed in the corner of her eyes.

"Isn't it superficial to talk about state affairs in front of the prime minister?" Shi Hao is honest and honest, but he is by no means a fool. What does it mean when the prime minister asks about politics?You can figure it out with your ass.

"Threesomes must have my teacher, Zhiweng, but it's okay to say." Wang Xiu raised her hand with a smile, her eyes were more appreciative.

Feeling Wang Xiu's sincerity, Shi Hao felt relieved, and said seriously: "Since the two emperors hunted in the north, the north and the south have been fighting for years, and the people have been trapped in the flames of war. It is time to make every effort to turn the tide. Some people who are trying to win fame are encouraging the recovery of their homeland. Gaining fame puts the country and the people at risk. May I ask, can Wang Shi go north to defeat the captives? Once the war starts and there is no certainty of victory, how can the national strength bear it?"

"I'm not flattering Mr. Xianggong. In all fairness, Mr. Xianggong's policy of peace and stability is in line with the general trend of the world. From this, it can be seen that Mr. Xianggong is not unwilling to go to the Northern Expedition, but is accumulating national power and striving to win the battle. Likong called for the Northern Expedition, but he didn't know the hardships involved."

Wang Xiu smiled with satisfaction, only a pragmatic person would have a good alliance.Menghao is not asking for peace, let alone giving in, but for better attacking. It seems that he has read Shi Hao correctly. When a real pillar does something, the first thing he thinks of is to retreat rather than advance.

"Looking at Xianggong's administration, the first priority is to operate overseas, and watching the guards and sailors gathering at the port, there must be a big movement in the court. However, Xianggong should see that the long-term interests of the South China Sea are not a good way to solve immediate worries. Going northward, if you can come out of Koryo as a partial teacher, you will be able to make great achievements."

Zhong Lirui's eyes lit up, he stared at Shi Hao with wide eyes, and said with a smile: "Brother Zhi Weng is interested in Gao Li?"

"It's not that I'm interested, but that Goryeo was originally a descendant of a merchant and has always surrendered to the Celestial Dynasty. Wouldn't it be a pity not to use it?" Shi Hao said lightly.

Wang Xiu smiled irrefutably, and said calmly: "The South China Sea is rich in products and is very suitable for large-scale immigration. It is also for the sake of the Han family for generations to come. This is an established national policy of the imperial court and no changes are allowed. However, as Zhi Weng said, Goryeo may also be indispensable, but that's not a particularly urgent matter."

Shi Hao frowned slightly, and said seriously: "It is true that the imperial court has accumulated strength, but it still has to take regaining the homeland as its top priority."

Wang Xiu heard Shi Hao's sense of responsibility, and said that he paid more attention to the South China Sea than the Northern Expedition, and the real advocates of war or peace were not completely absolute. They would constantly adjust their views as the internal and external situation developed.

"The benefits that the navy guards protect and emigrate to the South China Sea can bring to the world are definitely not what can be seen now. It is not a matter of gold and silver products, but a major event for generations to come." Wang Xiu felt that it was necessary to correct the slightest point of view. Although the Northern Expedition is important, it cannot hinder the South China Sea strategy.

Shi Hao couldn't fully agree, he had already fallen into academic debates, so he no longer feared Wang Xiu, and said seriously: "I think that the colonization of the South China Sea should be done with caution, the vast sea is dangerous and unpredictable, and the gain outweighs the gain. Now, the imperial court uses overseas Gold and silver, continue to get rid of the bad government, and I believe that the situation can be reversed in less than 20 years."

"20 years?" Zhong Lirui glanced at Wang Xiu, seeming a little unbelievable.

"Twenty years is too long!" Wang Xiu really laughed, ten years have passed, and another 20 years?
