Chapter 466 Ouyang Che's Contribution 2

"For example, today's strife is where the common good comes in." After Ouyang Che received Wang Xiu's affirmation, he looked very excited and continued: "The disadvantage of the Great Song Dynasty lies in the redundancy of officials and soldiers. To solve the two, first of all, it is necessary to clarify the rule of officials, and if we do not clarify the rule of officials and eliminate redundant officials, it will not be enough to broaden the people's strength, and if we cannot cultivate the people's strength, we will not be able to cultivate the country's foundation, and if we cannot cultivate the country's foundation, it will not be enough to show off our martial arts. ”

"The taxes of this dynasty are seven times that of the former Tang Dynasty, and the people are rich in appearance, but in fact they are very miserable. The wealth of the world is lost to the Beijing Division, and the local government cannot keep its own money, and the cost of raising troops and officials in the imperial court accounts for nine-tenths of the annual income. In addition to redundant officials and redundant soldiers, what to talk about the leniency of the people's strength, what to talk about the country's current country, internal and external troubles, chaos and clueless, so that the two emperors hunted in the north, and the mountains and rivers were broken. ”

Ouyang Che changed his words, and said loudly: "It's a great shame, and it can't help but say that it is a good time for Zhongxing, the prosperity and governance of all dynasties are all built after the war, and the prince has been in the temple for a long time, and he must know it." ”

Wang Xiu admires Ouyang Che's insight and has profound and unique insights into national affairs, after all, he is still a figure of this era, with inevitable limitations, but his thinking is ahead of his time in the world, and many of his insights are surprisingly similar to his own. In any case, there is a faint dissatisfaction with the policy, as well as pity for the people, and disdain for Kaifeng as the national capital.

"Deming is the rule of the world, and now the things that have accumulated over the past hundred years have reached the point where they must be solved. But there are light, heavy, slow, urgent, although it stands to reason to change, but to really implement, but it needs to take a little more detours in order to achieve the final goal, Deming can understand that "he is also very frank, there is no circle."

Ouyang Che did not have the luxury of expecting Wang Xiu to be full of promises and adopt radical punishment officialdom, if he really wanted to eagerly approve and put it into practice, he would definitely retreat, after listening to these meaningful words, he pondered carefully for a moment before saying: "The meaning of the public is to be taught."

Wang Xiu smiled kindly, and said warmly: "Donghuamen's fate is that he knows that Deming is an extraordinary person, and it is indeed true. ”

Ouyang Che was affirmed by Wang Xiu, and he was even more excited, his face was flushed, and he said humbly: "Xianggong has spoken, and I am willing to listen to Xianggong's teachings often." ”

Wang Xiu's heart moved, it should be a promise to take refuge, but he didn't really find out Ouyang Che's intentions, so he didn't dare to rashly solicit him. It is important to know that admiration, admiration, attachment, and refuge are not a one-time affair, and the solicitation of cronies cannot be arbitrary, and it may be a matter of success or failure. He didn't want to leak out the intention of accepting money, and if it was self-defeating, it would be a big blow to his reputation if he passed it out.

"What should we do now?"

Ouyang Che immediately realized that Wang Xiu was asking him about politics, and whether the answer was appropriate or not was related to the bright future in the future. It is definitely a great opportunity for anyone to have no merit and fame, he held back the excitement in his heart, took a deep breath, and said: "I am very admired for the princess to move the capital. Now Hebei and Hedong are not in my hands, and Kaifeng is a burden on the people of the world. Move the capital to the south of the Yangtze River, temporarily avoid the sharp edge of the captives, and rely on the Jianghuai and Jinghu mountain barriers, you can resume development with peace of mind. ”

Seeing that Wang Xiu couldn't help nodding, he couldn't help but feel refreshed for a while, and continued: "If there is a big chaos today, after moving south, the first thing is to recuperate and recuperate, and it is convenient for the people. ”

Although he did not get rid of the general understanding of the traditional scholar class, Wang Xiu thought that what Ouyang Che said was very good, which really made him look at him with admiration.

"In the humble opinion of the following, the national policy of the Great Song Dynasty should be to make peace with the north, attack from the west, and expand from the south."

Wang Xiu's expression was so moved, he almost said that he was in his heart, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he asked thoughtfully: "How about the southern expansion?"

Ouyang Che looked at Wang Xiu meaningfully, and said, "Xianggong, didn't you do something a long time ago?"

Wang Xiuwan smiled, raised his hand, and motioned for Ouyang Che to continue.

Ouyang Che understood that he was not a pedantic person, otherwise he would not have visited Wang Xiu today, and said in a deep voice: "Forming an armed fleet of seagoing vessels for overseas trade, and then encouraging domestic agricultural and mulberry trade, is the key to the rapid development of the Great Song Dynasty's national strength." In the next thought, trade alone was not enough for the Great Song Dynasty to develop rapidly, and he went south to occupy the rich Nanyi land, serve its people, open its mountains, and use it for the Great Song Dynasty. ”

Wang Xiu listened to Ouyang Che's political opinions, and was amazed by his advanced insight, the Great Song Dynasty was not without scholars with maritime awareness, but there was no room for them to play.

A meteor-like little person in history has such a profound sense of overseas colonization, although this consciousness is obviously marked with the naked blood of capitalist primitive accumulation. However, he didn't think that Ouyang Che understood the real primitive accumulation, just a Confucian with Legalist thoughts, and in his opinion, no matter what form of expansion, it must be gradual and put on a coat of warmth and affection to reduce local resistance, which is in the interests of the conqueror, unless you have absolute strength.

Ouyang Che's thoughts were just naked conquests, in his opinion, the barbarians in the south were not the opponents of the great powers of the Celestial Empire at all, and it was still easy to conquer them, even if the current national strength of the Great Song Dynasty.

Wang Xiu still admires it very much, although Ouyang Che's ocean thinking is not mature and his methods are not clever enough, he is already a rare and valuable scholar, who has the idea of conquering barbarians, and there are really not many people who see the world, so he can't be too demanding of anything else.

Ouyang Che peeked at Wang Xiu nervously, seeing that his brows were tightened, his expression was stern, and his heart suddenly felt nervous, he understood his thoughts, and he was too deviant with Chen Dong and the others, and he had never talked about it with them.

At present, Wang Xiu's reputation and prestige have given him the determination to take refuge, and he will be stinky for 10,000 years if he does not live for a hundred years, he doesn't know how Wang Xiu will fight in the future, and it is not a mediocre life.

"Deming Talent"

Ouyang Che was in high spirits and couldn't help but look at Wang Xiu in surprise, but he tried his best to control his expression and not let himself get too excited, so as not to leave a bad impression on Wang Xiu, but that flickering gaze betrayed him deeply.

Wang Xiu didn't care at all, mediocre people are not necessarily without ambition, but people without ambition are definitely mediocre people, turning a blind eye to the great opportunities, there is really no one in the world, Ouyang Che's pursuit and desire for human nature.

Back then, how could he not be like this, go to discuss with He Laodao about the triple benefit, and then take Cai Jing's boat, and finally maneuver in the middle of the emperor and generals, fortunately, he survived through guò cheating, and was qualified to look down on all beings and see himself back then. Ouyang Che did have the shadow of his past, and said with a kind smile: "However, Deming's southern expansion is too strong, and I am afraid that it will not be tolerated by the imperial court."

Ouyang Che was stunned for a moment, and then understood what Wang Xiu meant, his innate idea of a great power in the Celestial Empire made him attach considerable importance to the forces from the north, as for the small country in the south, it was not worth mentioning at all in his consciousness.

It is true that he has his own philosophy, and he will try his best to adhere to it, but in terms of specific measures, since Wang Xiu spoke, he had to say: "I have been taught below." ”

Wang Xiu smiled faintly: "Deming is a good learner, he can serve in the Maritime Affairs Department, he will choose a big county to experience in the future, and he will definitely make a lot of achievements in the future, which is ten thousand times better than a small county." ”

Ouyang Che realized that Wang Xiu really recruited him, obviously he had already wanted to accept him as a cronie, and he clearly weighed it, with him and the tenth, he was not released to know the third-class county, and he joined the maritime affairs department, which was far better than a county from the eighth grade.

He got up and said, "The eldest husband is alive, it is enough to know everything, and he will definitely live up to the expectations of justice." ”

"Deming, please sit down" Wang Xiu's attitude was much closer, and he said warmly: "Sun Tzu said: Where the law of military is used, the whole country is the first, and the country is second; The whole army is the first, and the broken army is second; The whole brigade is the first, and the broken brigade is second; The whole pawn is the first, and the broken pawn is second; The whole army is the first, and the army is second. Therefore, a hundred battles are won, and the good ones who are not good are also; The soldiers who surrender without a fight, and the good ones are also good. Therefore, the army is attacked, the second is the enemy, the second is the army, and the next is to attack the city. The method of siege is a last resort. Therefore, those who make good use of soldiers, the soldiers of the people instead of the war, the city of the people instead of the attack, the destruction of the country of the people instead of the long, will fight for the whole world, so the soldiers are not immediately profitable, and the method of attacking is also. ”

Ouyang Che savored it carefully, faintly understanding the meaning of being strong and fearless to the imperial court, Wang Xiu implicitly pointed out that he was too radical in the overseas expansion policy of the Great Song Dynasty, and it was inconvenient to point out because of his face, and used Sun Tzu's plot to attack the article instead of hinting.

"Xianggong is planning far away, the South China Sea countries are small and numerous, if the attack is too urgent, it will inevitably cause the countries to unite, which is extremely unfavorable to the southward advance of the Great Song Dynasty. In the next talent is shallow learning, eager for quick success, forgetting jì invincible in the world with a teacher of benevolence and righteousness. ”

"The Teacher of Benevolence and Righteousness" Wang Xiu smiled dumbly, the Quartet is fighting, it is just a fight for profit, how can the word benevolence and righteousness come from, behind Shaole is Lima Jianbing, the era of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, who can know However, Ouyang Che is effective, some words still can't be said to him, and he needs to observe this person slowly.

After sending Zhong Liqiu away, Wang Xiu had just returned to the study, and he didn't want Li Changsheng to ask to see him outside the door, he was a little tired, but he still let Li Changsheng in.

"Sir." Li Changsheng seemed to be preoccupied, as if he had something to say, but he didn't know how to speak, and the whole person looked cramped and uneasy.

Wang Xiu saw it in his eyes, and said softly: "Second brother, if you have something, don't be like a little lady, "When you were in Dongshuimen, you were no less brave than the fifth brother."

Li Changsheng hesitated, gritted his teeth and said, "Sir, I, I think." ”

Wang Xiu saw that Li Changsheng was struggling, his face was flushed, and he couldn't help laughing: "Second brother, what's wrong, is it because of the little lady of which family." Well, it must be a hero who is sad to pass the beauty pass, don't worry, I'll be a matchmaker for you, even if it's the sister of the prime minister's family, the second brother of our family can marry. Li Changsheng was greatly embarrassed, the old man's face was flushed, and he said repeatedly: "Mr. misunderstood, Mr. misunderstood, it's not a little lady, it's something else." "Oh, what's the matter," Wang Xiu raised her eyebrows
