Chapter 36: What I Heard and Saw
At the banquet, Guo Yong talked eloquently, not caring about the eyes of the soldiers and staff of the loyal and righteous army around him.
"The Hedong Loyal and Righteous Army commanded Wang Yan, and Zhang Xianggong and others let this person take over the Hedong Loyal and Righteous Army, but as soon as Wang Song came out of the mountain, this person bowed his head and worshipped, which happened, you know better than me."
Uncle Zhang nodded and said, "No wonder since the old man came into the house, this Wang Yan has been avoiding it, it turns out that he is avoiding suspicion!"
"Jiao Wentong, Meng De, the new Li Shifu, Liu Qi, Li Bao, that person is not Wang Song's diehard. If you want these people to part ways with Wang Song, I'm afraid it will be more difficult than ascending to the sky!"
"So, apart from the generals, what about these staff?"
After a long time, Uncle Zhang opened his mouth and asked with difficulty.
"Ma Kuo, Counselor of the Xuanfu Division, if Wang Song is the emperor, this person is definitely the first instigator. Wang Lun, the prefect of Jingzhao Mansion, soared with a white body, and as a great official all the way to the frontier, it can be said that he has ascended to the sky in one step, and his friendship with Wang Song is irreversible, and it is not very comparable!"
Guo Yong shook his head and continued: "Zhu Mengshuo, Huang Zong, and Li Ruoxu, although they have an old relationship with the imperial court, they are all depressed people, but now they are controlling the trend of the world, and they are looking forward to being arrogant. You see that the Xuanfu Division will hold a banquet tonight, and these people can come over. Even if they meet by chance, it's just a perfunctory thing!"
What Guo Gong said is true. These people distanced themselves from us, and they were clearly showing Wang Song. In the whole banquet, only you, Guo Gong, are loyal to the court and loyal to the country. ”
Uncle Zhang smiled bitterly and shook his head, and the others were also embarrassed.
Now it seems that Wang Song's subordinates are basically monolithic. Whoever wants to instigate and win over and divide from it will probably be attacked by them.
In the final analysis, except for the death of a confidant, the interests of these people are closely related to Wang Song. If they submit to the imperial court, who will guarantee the future of these people?
"Judge Zhang, you didn't detain the troops that day, causing tens of thousands of brothers of my Hedong Loyal and Righteous Army to die on the battlefield, don't you feel a little guilty in your heart?"
Insert a sentence, [Source Change Artifact] is really good, it's worth installing one, after all, you can cache and read books offline!
Zhang Heng came over with a wine glass, his black face was flushed, Wang Lun wanted to pull him away, but he pushed him away.
"General Zhang, the old man also wanted to send troops later, but the three passes of Shiling were captured by the Jin people and blocked the way. In any case, the old man is at fault first, and the old man has made amends to you. ”
Uncle Zhang stood up and saluted everyone.
"Judge Zhang, Xianggong asked me not to trouble you, but you remember, if you want me to wait and return to the court of that dog's day, don't even think about it!"
Zhang Heng was so drunk that he shouted loudly, and then cried loudly.
"Pity Dong Ping and Yang Jin, pity Li Xiaochun and Xu Hu, and pity my more than 10,000 brothers in the loyal army!"
Everyone in the hall watched coldly, looking at Zhang Shuye and the others, and their eyes were not good.
"Zhang Heng, you've drunk too much!"
Ma Kuo and Niu Gao stepped forward and supported the swaying Zhang Heng, while Ma Kuo was pale and snorted coldly.
"Master Zhang, my brothers, no one wants to bow south. Wang Xianggong still wants to restore Yanyun and pacify Western Xia, he is too busy, you better avoid respecting it!"
"Where you came from, go back there, and don't be embarrassed here! Go back and tell Qin Hui that hundreds of thousands of soldiers of my loyal army will take his dog's life sooner or later!"
Niu Gao didn't have a good face, and he spoke completely ignoring the faces of Zhang Shuye and others.
"In the first war of Fuzhou, the old man became a sinner through the ages, and he took the blame for himself, and he took the blame for himself!"
Uncle Zhang sat down in a dejected manner, picked up the wine glass, and drank it all.
Guo Yong wanted to say something, but it was stuck in his throat.
Although he dared to complain, he was at a loss to let him and these generals in the army face to face.
The great cause of resisting gold was almost ruined, and the lives of more than 10,000 soldiers were also a blood debt!
Liu Tao just shook his head and sighed, and the atmosphere in the hall was extremely cold.
Many of the soldiers in the hall were drunk and went away. Everyone in the hall was divided into two tables, eating and drinking by themselves, and there was a clear distinction.
Zhang Shuye and Liu Tao frowned, shook their heads and sighed.
The next day, Zhang Shuye and others came to the Xuanfu Division, Wang Song said that he had something urgent to do, let them rest for a few days, appreciate the local people in Hebei, and discuss other things later.
Everyone knew that Wang Song intended to avoid it, but it could only be like this, and he was not in a hurry anyway.
Uncle Zhang smiled bitterly and said: "If there is nothing to do, I will go to this place in Hebei, and it will not be in vain, and I will go back to see Your Majesty, and I will also have an explanation."
Liu Tao nodded and said, "I also want to see, what is this Hebei like?"
Hearing that the group was going out, Wang Qing had to accompany him all the way and follow the crowd.
He really couldn't help it. The high-ranking generals and staff members seem to have a tacit understanding that no one wants to accompany the low-ranking officials and generals. As for Guo Yong and these people, it is better to let them deal less with Zhang Shuye and others.
The two rivers are in ruins, but they can't stand the toss.
The streets of the castle were neat, and the roads were widened a lot, and they were divided into horse lanes and sidewalks. Every three to five hundred paces on the street, and at the intersection, there is a patrol shop, which is guarded by the officials of the street division to maintain law and order, and hygiene.
And on the side of the sidewalk, every 100 steps there is a cylinder with a tin lid and a "garbage can" on it. There is a rectangular opening on one side of the cylinder facing up. From time to time, you can see a public servant wearing a red uniform with the word "sanitation", pouring leaves and other debris from the trees swept on the ground.
Everyone thinks it is novel, it turns out that this cement street is so clean, it is actually cleaned all the time, and it is much cleaner than the original Bianliang City!
On both sides of the street, you can see clean toilets, with the word "public toilet" written on them, and men and women enter separate rooms.
A few people went in and took a turn, and there were people distributing toilet paper at the table at the entrance of the "public toilet", which was completely free. The "public toilet" is clean and clean, and from time to time there are special people with "masks" who come in to clean and rinse, tirelessly and conscientiously.
A few people were very novel, and felt that if it was introduced to Jiangnan, it might not be a moral policy.
In the patrol shop, the people kept entering, and everyone came forward to observe and listen, and it turned out that the people asked for directions, knocked to drink, or friction and contradictions on the street, and came here to adjust and solve.
Seeing Zhang Shuye and others watching outside, a clerk in official uniform came out and asked suspiciously: "Who are you, why are you here, do you have an "ID card"?"
Uncle Zhang saw Wang Song's "ID card" at night and knew that it was the household registration. He shook his head and said, "I'm a foreigner below, and I don't have an ID card."
Wang Qing didn't say anything, he wanted to see how this official would deal with it, and whether he would enforce the law fairly.
Hearing Uncle Zhang say that he didn't have an ID card, the clerk immediately became serious, and he frowned: "Then do you have a temporary residence permit?" If not, you will have to be arrested and identified. If you are not a traitor, I can provide you with an identity certificate or temporary residence permit. ”
Wang Qing nodded, and the accompanying guards took out the "special pass" of the Xuanfu Division and whispered a few words. The clerk nodded, and Uncle Zhang and his party said goodbye and left.
Liu Tao sighed secretly. The court was corrupt and corrupt, fighting for power and profit, forming parties for personal gain, and suffering from internal and external difficulties. Hebei is politically clear, strong and strong, and has made great strides forward.
Some rectangular metal frame railings on the side of the street have attracted everyone's attention. Cao Xun stepped forward to look curiously, and it turned out to be a newspaper column with transparent glass outside, which contained the recent government decrees, a few recent newspapers, and other missing person notices, house rentals, and so on.
There are many street vendors, all of whom are hawkers who walk the streets and alleys, selling vegetables and food. Ma Kuo introduced on the side, these hawkers have none
It needs to be taxed, because it is a small business, and the government is exempt from taxes.
The sound of reading came out, and everyone was stunned, and then stopped to listen.
"This article was written by that great sage?"
After listening for a while, Uncle Zhang turned around and asked.
"Zhang Gong, this is what Wang Xianggong did, and the text name is "Young China Said". Wang Xianggong felt that the mountains and rivers were broken, the Jin people were raging, and my Song people were weak, so he made this article and pinned his hopes on the future generation. For this reason, Xianggong also established the publicly-funded "Hope School", where all children between the ages of 6 and 13 can attend school for free. ”
Uncle Zhang was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "The old man almost forgot, Wang Xianggong is also a party!" The children go to school for free, and the king is very good, and my generation is ashamed of himself. ”
Liu Tao asked in a deep voice: "Children between the ages of 6 and 13, so there are many such schools in Hebei, right?"
Wang Qing nodded and said, "What Old General Liu said is right. There are more than 400,000 schoolchildren and more than 500 schools in Hebei. Hedong is about half the size of Hebei. ”
Wang Qing wanted to talk about Henan Province, Gyeonggi Province, and Shaanxi, but he felt that it was too sensitive, so he simply didn't say it.
Zhang Shuye, Liu Tao, and Cao Xun looked at each other, and they couldn't believe it. Wang Song is so educational, who will remember the Great Song Dynasty in the future?
Although everyone also knows that Wang Song's move has made great contributions to the Han nation, but in this glory, he always feels a little awkward and insincere.
"Let's go in and take a look."
Under the leadership of Wang Qing, everyone entered the school. I saw a team of students running or exercising on the playground, and the clear "one-two-one" and other signs kept ringing.
"Wang Daguan, why do students also have to practice spear stabbing skills, and they also have to practice queues?"
In Bianliang City that year, Zhang Shuye carefully observed Wang Songjun's training, and some of the exercises are still fresh in his memory.
Wang Qing said: "Zhang Gong, students practicing these military projects, in addition to strengthening their bodies, they should also develop the habit of martial arts and obedience, and cultivate their martial spirit. The Jin people were raging, and the Song army was either crushed at the first touch, or the city was opened to surrender to the enemy, and so on. There is no flesh in China anymore, and the academy is the best place for education!"
Cao Xun looked at it in a cold sweat. On the playground, those seven or eight-year-old children stabbed the wooden sticks in their hands one by one, and their immature roars were crisp and neat. The children, who shouted slogans and had uniform footsteps, inexplicably frightened him.
In another ten years, these young generations, who will still have the Great Song Dynasty Heavenly Son in their eyes, and who will still remember the Great Song Dynasty?
“…… The milk tiger roars in the valley, and the beasts are terrified...... The sky wears its blue, and the earth wears its yellow. Through the ages, there are eight wildernesses. The future is like the sea, and the future is long. ”
Uncle Zhang looked at the playground at night, his eyes were foggy, Liu Tao stroked his beard and pondered, and Cao Xun's face turned pale......
"When Wang Xianggong does this, he is not afraid of people's minds changing and people's hearts ...... Is it unstable? ”
Uncle Zhang shook his head and muttered to himself.
"The people may, let it be, and not, let it know. This is the purpose of Wang Xianggong's school. Only by opening up the wisdom of the people and being martial and warlike can the nation become stronger and more prosperous, and only then can it not be humiliated by foreign enemies. ”
Wang Qing was calm and calm, and his tone was gentle.
"Wang Xianggong does this, I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse?"
Liu Tao shook his head slightly. Wang Song deviated from the scriptures, but it also showed Wang Song's self-confidence.
A group of people walked out of the school, with different faces, and walked forward.
Seeing that there was a house on every street corner, the people went in and out, and the officials were polite, and Uncle Zhang knew that this was a patrol shop when he asked at night.
"There were also these patrol shops in Tokyo back then, but they weren't like the officials of the Street Division, who could do so many things."
Uncle Zhang shook his head. At that time, what kind of goods did the officials of Tokyo City have, and compared the two and the next, and made a judgment.
