Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 852

Shi Hao was not interested in plundering other countries, and even thought it was not the king's doing.Of course, he is not opposed to the expansion of territory. Which of the Han and Tang territories did not call?It's all about plundering nakedly, and you have to put on the top hat of the righteousness of the heavenly dynasty. It's really deceptive, it's ridiculous to the extreme.

However, he still admitted that Wangmen people are active in thinking and have a strong enterprising spirit, which is worthy of him as a role model. He immediately said: "The country has thousands of miles of territory and rich products. You only need to follow the sage's benevolent government. People fight for profit. You must know that throughout the history of wars and migrations, there are always ten to seven or eight, no bones by the river, people in the dream in the boudoir."

Fei Su smiled lightly, and didn't try to defend himself. To him, these words were so sour that he didn't even bother to argue.

Liu Renfeng also frowned slightly. He was dissatisfied with some of Wang Xiu's policies and dared to debate with Wang Xiu, but it didn't mean he didn't recognize some of Wang Xiu's ideas.

On the contrary, he developed Wang Xiu's ideas in some aspects, and gradually formed his own unique views. He also supported the dual monarchy very much, because he also saw the hope of long-term stability, not to mention that Hangzhou's development is obvious to all, and only money can do things. It is an eternal truth.

Naturally, he has his own understanding of the campaign in the South China Sea, and he is not completely opposed to the campaign, but against certain inside stories.

"What's the right thing to do in the conquest of thousands of miles?" Shi Hao asked. He is an orthodox Confucian scholar, and his point of view is to convince people with virtue, not just to conquer alien races.

Fei Su was very disdainful in his heart, but seeing Liu Renfeng's playful face, as a younger brother, he had to come out of the interview to give an explanation, and he said patiently: "Shan Zhang's point of view is very novel, economy is the foundation, politics is the superstructure, and war is just the continuation of politics." , Some are for economic interests. To put it bluntly, it is very simple. The wars of the past dynasties are just the needs of survival and development. If you don’t have money, what do you use to appease the people? Taking the benefits of the South China Sea to support the people of China is a national policy that the court cannot change.”

Shi Hao frowned slightly, but it was hard to refute. What people say is almost invulnerable, everything has its roots, and it is true that without money, you can't do things, and you can't study and promote culture and education.

The imperial court also made it a national policy, forming a common proposition of the two governments. This is the mainstream argument of scholars, and it seems too isolated to oppose it.

"You show off in front of Zhiweng with your little knowledge. It's like playing tricks." Seeing that Shi Hao didn't speak, Liu Renfeng couldn't help but roll her eyes at Fei Su. He couldn't embarrass Shi Hao too much. He cherishes scholars very much.

"Third brother said this, but younger brother just told the truth." Fei Su smiled and didn't care. In fact, he was not too convinced by Liu Renfeng. He told the truth, implicitly refuting the classmate, and implying that he was no worse than you.

Liu Renfeng frowned slightly, and a trace of displeasure flashed across her brows.He didn't like Fei Su's arrogance to the point of disgust. This guy seemed inherently reserved, as if the boss was his second child, and there was no one worthy of respect except Wang Xiu.

There are even some things where the views and methods are more radical than Wang Xiu's. To achieve the goal, it is unscrupulous, which makes him look down on it.

Shi Hao smiled helplessly, and said: "Shan Zhang, I'm really not as good as Jiezhai." He didn't say which aspect was worse, but he also maintained his own face.

Liu Renfeng shook his head, and said calmly: "Brother Zhi Weng, he has business skills, and he is much inferior to Brother Zhi Weng in terms of knowledge, so don't mind."

Fei Su glanced at Liu Renfeng playfully, blinked his eyes and said with a smile: "The third elder brother has learned the essence of Shanzhang, and he will become a great Confucian for a long time. The younger brother is just a minister of words and wisdom, so naturally Yinghuo is better than Haoyue."

Shi Hao's eyelids twitched, and there seemed to be a rift among the disciples of Wang Xiu's family. It seems that Wang Xiu's family is not monolithic. The disciples of Wang's family have their own ideas, and even when there are conflicts in front of others, what is in front of them is that there are no heated debates, but fierce debates. .

Seeing Liu Renfeng's uneasy expression, Fei Su changed the subject and said, "A few days ago, Zhao Changde from the research institute made hot water, and it was like a demon. I went to see it once. It's the principle of steam. It's quite interesting to play with."

"What's interesting?" Liu Renfeng rolled her eyes at Fei Su.

Shi Hao didn't understand what was going on, but he still knew about boiling water on top of the teapot, and said with a smile, "Wuhuo is just a normal thing to boil water, what's so strange about it?"

As soon as these words came out, not to mention Fei Su, even Liu Renfeng's eyes were strange.

Fei Su couldn't help but sneered, and said playfully: "It's a normal thing, but a fool doesn't see the reason."

"Oh." Shi Hao's face was awkward. According to Fei Su's words, he became a fool, and no one would be happy, and he said it directly to him, which made people feel so embarrassing.

Liu Renfeng valued Shi Hao, but turned his eyes to Fei Su, and said, "I don't know what to do, but I really want to see if I can make something out of it."

"Then go and have a look." Fei Su said with a smile.

"Brother Zhi Weng, would you like to go and see?" Liu Renfeng secretly scolded Fei Su for being crazy, so he had to politely invite Shi Hao.

Shi Hao was really embarrassed, but he was also very interested in the research institute. The place was guarded by the forbidden army in turn, and outsiders were not allowed to enter at will, which added a lot of mystery.

To have the opportunity to go in with Liu Renfeng and Fei Su to experience it is of course a dream.

Although he didn't know anything about the so-called steam principle, and even understood it as simply boiling water, it didn't prevent him from satisfying his curiosity.

Soon, the three of them arrived at the gate of the research institute, and the path leading to the research institute was even more winding, leading them to talk about a few poems, and the students in twos and threes saw the three of them and bowed to avoid them.

The academy is just behind the academy, the academy is built on the hillside, and the inner gate is also in the academy, guarded by a few guards from the imperial army, and there is also a messenger from the Ministry of Punishment who looks at the waist badge.

It has to be said that Yuquan Mountain has a strong academic record, and those officers and soldiers who came to the garrison were also deeply influenced by the cultural atmosphere. Into a rough man.

Not to mention the errands, when I saw them coming from a long distance, they greeted them with smiling faces, and they were so polite as soon as they opened their mouths, which made people grit their teeth.

The mountain chief naturally has a festival talisman, because Zhong Lirui returned to Beijing, Fei Su became Wang Xiu's agent in Hangzhou, and was also ordered to take care of the research institute, so the festival talisman is naturally not a problem.

Shi Hao didn't have a festival talisman, but he had Liu Renfeng and Fei Su as guarantees, and the few officials were not fools, and they didn't go to the important warehouse, so they naturally recorded and let them go.

"I didn't expect there to be another world in the academy!" Shi Hao saw that the officials were heavily guarded, and there were many guards in the halls and pavilions, even patrolling people. , let yourself not be disappointed.
