Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 838 Wang Xiu's Kindness

Seeing Wang Xiu and Zhong Lirui acting strangely, Shi Hao couldn't help but startled, could he be wrong?
"The court's South China Sea strategy is not just for money, but for future generations." Wang Xiu doesn't care about revealing the truth. Some things should let the scholars understand the key points, so that they can sincerely support them and realize their ambitions ambition.Shi Hao frowned slightly, he had neglected it just now, and Wang Xiu's words for the sake of future generations made him suddenly enlightened, and made up a lot of things in his mind instantly, feeling that he was thinking superficially.

After all, it is to expand the territory, who would not like to get a famous name in history?Don't talk about the land of barbarians.In the pre-Qin period, Suzhou and Hangzhou were also lands of barbarians, not to mention Guangdong, Guangxi and Fujian.

The thinking of a wise person is often reminded, and he can infer other things from one instance, and he will never be stubborn.Even though he still can't fully rely on understanding, it doesn't delay his approval. This is a great good that benefits the country and the people.

Zhong Lirui naturally understood Wang Xiu's intentions. He was discussing with Wang Xiu whether he could publish an article in the tabloid in Wang Xiu's name to defend the colonization of the South China Sea and win more scholars' attention and support.

Since Shi Hao is present, let's talk to him first, and immediately said: "Brother Zhiweng, you are also a university student who has read a lot of poetry and books. Can't you see that the ups and downs of the past dynasties have always been defeated by the barbarians in the northern grasslands every time? Then some heroes raised their arms and shouted, and the whole world responded, and the homeland of the Han family was restored."

"This..." Shi Hao didn't know what to say. What Zhong Lirui said was true. The pressure from the north in the past dynasties was indeed very severe.

"Sooner or later, the imperial court will set up overseas military states, and the colonial losses will be great, but isn't the migration in the past dynasties the same? Jiangyou has today's prosperity, which is the scale that has been formed after nearly a thousand years of continuous migration. It is true that the South China Sea is extremely dangerous, but There will always be people who will survive, take root from generation to generation, and become the land of the dynasty.”

"The so-called China is just a country in the center. The three generations in ancient times were the surrounding areas of the city. The sages of the past dynasties continued to develop, and only then did we have thousands of miles of land and mountains today. Are we going to stand on our laurels?" Wang Xiu asked Shi Hao.

Shi Hao was a bit speechless, what Wang Xiu and Zhong Lirui said made sense. The Han family was formed by the continuous development of the people of the past dynasties. The Jiangyou where they lived was just Chuyue, which was called barbarians in the Central Plains in the pre-Qin period.

Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, the country has never been unified, let alone the territory of the Han and Tang Dynasties. He understands that Wang Xiu's point is true, but thinking about the embarrassment of reality, he is a little discouraged.

Wang Xiu is no longer demanding that Shi Hao fully understand it. It takes time to digest and slowly change a person's psychology. He said again: "Zhi Weng, the imperial court raises troops, what is the priority of Jurchen and Dangxiang?"

"Naturally, it's the party item." Shi Hao said without hesitation. There is something going on between the north and the south, and two tigers are fighting each other. Naturally, the hungry wolf can't be lingered.

"Oh, tell me the reason." Wang Xiu's eyes flickered, as if she was very interested.

"Nowadays, Hengshan and Xihe are in my hands, and Dangxiang has long been lingering. I am sincerely not afraid. If we can get a good horse if we solve the northwest, even if the captives take advantage of the fire to rob us, I will be able to deal with the crisis with my Five Route Propaganda Division. What can they do when they fight on the river? Besides, how can the big army go to the north in the future, let Dangxiang Qiang live a dirty life, and ruin my good situation."

Very courageous!Wang Xiu appreciates Shi Hao's simplicity and thoughtfulness very much, and agrees with his strategic analysis ability very much. This is a talent!Many scholars and even generals are afraid of attacking party members, thinking that once the Northwest War starts, the war will inevitably be stalemate, and the Jurchens will definitely break the alliance and go south, and the main force of the Song army will be transferred to Shaanxi.

However, many people did not realize the significance of his development of the bodyguard navy. As long as there is a bodyguard navy with the Dajiang system to set up an envoy, even if he has [-] captive horses, he will not be able to cross the river easily. In Jiangning City, they also have to look at the city and sigh, not to mention that the Sixth Army in front of the palace is not a dry meal. In the Jiangnan area where the river network is criss-crossed, the infantry army is coordinated by the navy and warships, and its combat effectiveness is definitely higher than that of the horse army.

"Zhi Weng is right, but unfortunately, some scholar-officials are short-sighted."

"Your Excellency speaks too much, how dare I compare myself with the court officials." Even so, Shi Hao's expression was not modest, and even slightly reserved.

Wang Xiu just laughed it off, talented people have their own arrogance, how many people are there in the world who are anonymous and self-interested?
He can't escape the vulgarity, and Shi Hao can't be unconventional either. The purpose of his study is for his life aspirations. He smiled and said: "Nowadays, when the government and the public are employing people, it is hard to find talented people. There is a lack of talents in my shogunate, and the straight man will never give up. The salary is meager, but it can help me, and besides, I have a lot of books, so I don’t know what to do?"

Seeing Wang Xiu's intention to solicit, Shi Hao couldn't help but shake his mind.Wang Xiu is not only an excellent official, but also a top-notch figure among scholars in terms of reputation. From a long-term perspective, it is very appropriate to go to the other side.

Of course, the most important thing is to be able to have frequent contact with Wang Xiu, which is of great benefit to personal growth. Zhong Lirui became Du Chengzhi in his early years, and Zong Liang, who is known as the prime minister's long history, is now also a purple horse with a jade belt. Once they return to court, they are too expensive, and both of them are heroes who are expected to be in the two houses.

He disdains to curry favor with the rich and powerful, but following Wang Xiu is different from courting the superior, at least he has his own independent personality.However, he was still hesitating, he didn't want to be branded by someone, and said slowly: "Thank you for your kindness, my lord, I just want to learn, and wait quietly for the tribute."

Seeing Shi Hao struggling for a while, Zhong Lirui finally refused, and couldn't help showing a look of appreciation. Not everyone can refuse Wang Xiu, at least he can't.

If you can follow Wang Xiu, don't say anything else, but the starting point is much higher than others, he is a clear example.

Wang Xiu is not reluctant, everyone has his own aspirations!Shi Hao was not moved by interests, although he was a bit pretentious, he still made sense, and said with a smile, "It's good that Zhiweng has such a state of mind, but it's not for a sage to study hard behind closed doors because the politicians want to change their minds."

Shi Hao's face was solemn, he appreciated Wang Xiu's kindness, but he still insisted on his own opinion.

Wang Xiu really couldn't bear Shi Hao's twists and turns to make a living, he pondered for a while, and said: "Oh, I almost forgot, Zhi Weng doesn't have to go back to his hometown when he stays on the road, I should recommend him to Yuquan Mountain Court, and hire Zhi Weng to write poems and poems for classics and righteousness. Assistant lecturer. Well, as a great talent of Zhiweng, it is enough to be a lecturer, but the appointment of lecturers is not decided by the head of the mountain, but is decided by the academic meeting. It is higher than other schools, and it is enough for Zhiweng to live. After the Hangzhou exam, I will say hello to them and ask the Ministry of Rites to give Hangzhou an extra seat. I don’t know what Zhiweng wants?"
