After entering June, Jiangnan has also entered the most rainy time of the year, especially in Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas, the torrential rain continues, the rivers and lakes soar, although it has not caused a major disaster, but there are also several dangerous situations in danger. On the one hand, Zhao Yu issued edicts one after another ordering the localities to count the disaster situation and distribute relief grain, and on the other hand, he ordered the garrisons along the Yangtze River to stop attacking and harassing Jiangbei and turn to assist the local authorities in fighting dangers and providing disaster relief.

Zhao Yu also put aside the matter at hand for the time being, took a boat along the canal to inspect the flood control work, guide the disaster relief work, and only returned to the Lin'an Palace at the end of June, and was busy dealing with some urgent matters before he could take a breath. But what disappointed him was that Chen Pu, who was recommended by Liu Huang, said that he was old and shallow in his knowledge, and it was difficult for him to be worthy of His Majesty's trust, so he politely refused to serve as the superintendent of the Academy of Sciences.

However, Zhao Yu soon learned that Chen Pu did not want to re-emerge, and he also entered Beijing with great interest at the invitation of Liu Huang, but he did not rashly agree, but proposed to investigate first and then make a decision, Liu Huang promised to provide convenience, and sent someone to accompany him to visit the Ouchi Craftsman Workshop, the workshop belonging to the Ordnance Supervision and the Academy of Sciences in the preparation stage, of course, the biogas system of the cavalry brigade is also a must-visit.

Unexpectedly, Chen Pu, who was still quite confident, gradually became ambiguous after the visit, and the arrogance on his face turned into frustration. In particular, I was shocked to read a few pamphlets on arithmetic compiled by the little emperor, and I was shocked that the problems I had studied for so many years were only the most ordinary basic knowledge here, and I was even more depressed to learn that this was only when His Majesty was idle in Yashan more than ten years ago when he was idle and had nothing to do.

Thinking about the water conservancy machinery and equipment seen in the ordnance supervision, the exquisitely designed warships and ingenious biogas systems seen in the shipyard, and the leaky pot that he was proud of was like a child's toy, Chen Pu knew that as long as the little emperor was willing, he could make more elaborate and accurate tools than that. What made him even more impressed was that His Majesty had a deep theoretical foundation in arithmetic, nature and geography at a young age, and he was not able to beat it.

After thinking about it again, Chen Puxiu wrote a letter to Liu Huang, in addition to his admiration for the little emperor's knowledge, he also made a deep reflection, thinking that he had become a frog at the bottom of the well, and if he took on this position, he would be a misguided child, and he would not dare to take up the post, and he could only live up to His Majesty's trust. After that, he quietly returned to his hometown with all the 'writings' he could collect about His Majesty.

Chen Pu's departure can be regarded as another problem for Zhao Yu, and he didn't plan to let him engage in research, but he just wanted to find an expert to lead, but he felt that his face was dull, and he was ashamed to slip away, and he didn't even leave a chance to talk, and everything went back to before. He thought that there may be no one in the current society who is more proficient than himself, and these scholars are dying to save face, especially in learning, so it is better to do it yourself!

Zhao Yu knew that the official study of arithmetic was mainly used in the deduction and calculation of the astronomical calendar, which was also regarded as the application of learning, and it was no exception in the Song Dynasty, and arithmetic was often integrated with institutions such as the Tianwen Yuan and the Si Tianjian Academy. He pondered that physics, chemistry and geography could also be roughly counted in the same system, so he decided to set up a natural astronomical supervisor on the basis of the preparatory class of Si Tianjian and the Academy of Sciences, and conduct scientific research on this basis, and it would be under the management of the internal supervisor, under his guidance, and at the same time issued an edict to recruit talented people in these fields in the world, regardless of their origin and occupation, as long as they have real skills......

In the afternoon of this day, a heavy rain came as scheduled, although it brought coolness but made the room stuffy and unbearable, so that Zhao Hao, who was reading the official documents, was still sweating and feeling stuffy, and even drank a few cups of herbal tea It was difficult to eliminate the heat in his heart.

The dark clouds pressed the top, the wind and rain were urgent, the raindrops of beans were beating on the lake, and the pavilions were like boats floating on the sea at this time, but Zhao Yu calmed down and was able to read the official documents more attentively.

"The Mengyuan thief chief Zhenjin ordered Boyan to return to Beijing, and then ordered him to accompany the third prince Timur to Helin Fujun as Shangshu Youcheng; appointed Zhongshu Zuo Cheng Li Qian as the state affairs of Zhongshu Pingzhang; Sang Ge was promoted to Shangshu Pingzhang State Affairs; Shangshu Zuo Cheng Ye Li was transferred to Gyeonggi as an envoy; With the Huizong Yuan, Yue Chi Cha'er was also in charge of the Privy Council; transferred the first cowardly Xue Changyu Su Timur as the privy envoy of Henan and Shandong provinces; With Hara Hasun as the main ......," Zhao Yu picked up an official document sent by the Ministry of War and read it softly.

"Official, this is almost exactly the same as the official document submitted by Lord Zheng a few days ago!" Wang De was a little puzzled when he heard this.

"Of course it's the same, but what Zheng Huchen sent was only an internal discussion, and what Ji Yisi of the Ministry of War sent was an edict issued by Meng Yuanming, can the two be the same?" Zhao Hao smiled.

"Official, why is there such a large-scale adjustment in the Mengyuan Imperial Court, and is it happy or sad for us?" Wang De frowned and asked curiously.

"Of course it's a happy event, Meng Yuan is going to be messed up!" Zhao Hao laughed out loud and said.

"How did the official family know that Meng Yuan was going to be in chaos?" Wang De was even more surprised.

"The Hanfa faction has lost power, how can Sang Ge not be in charge!" Zhao Yu slapped heavily on the table, stood up, looked at the turbulent lake, and said.

The change in the political situation of Mengyuan is actually part of Zhao Yu's plan, it seems that the matter is due to the dispute between the Han law and the Mongolian conservative school, in the final analysis, it is actually a matter of money, and this has already laid the groundwork when Wokotai was Khan, at this time it is just that he took advantage of the trend, at most he put a little catalyst.

As a latecomer, Zhao Yu naturally knew that the Yuan Dynasty was a regime established as a foreign conqueror, and it absorbed the culture of many ethnic groups, which led to many sources of politics, but Huihui law and Han law were the two most important sources. In the final Yuan generation, in addition to trying to maintain the characteristics of the Mongolian steppe regime, the Mongol and Yuan governments always tried to achieve a certain balance between Hui and Han law, so as to fully explore the advantages and specialties of the two, thus forming a historical phenomenon of the unique pluralistic political pattern of the Mongol and Yuan dynasties.

Therefore, whether to return to the law or to practice the Han law is a serious question that all monarchs in the Mengyuan era must face, but in fact, due to various reasons, the rulers of the Yuan Dynasty could not adhere to a fixed policy, and the use of Han law or Hui law was generally determined according to the emperor's personal likes and dislikes or the actual situation at the time, which made this problem very complicated, and it was particularly difficult for future generations to understand, and the basic form of this pluralistic political pattern has been preserved, and the final yuan remains unchanged.

Kublai Khan can be said to be the initiator of Meng Yuan's promotion of sinicization. After Meng Ge became Khan, he was in charge of the "military affairs of the Han land in the south of the country". So that Kublai Khan has been in contact with Han culture since the first year of Naima Zhen's reign, he ordered Haiyun Zen Master to go to Mobei to preach Buddhism, and asked him, "Is there a way to calm the world in Buddhism?" Haiyun asked him to "ask the great sages and Confucians in the world to ask about the rise and fall of chaos in ancient and modern times", and introduced his apprentice Liu Bingzhong to him.

Since then, Kublai Khan began to store the way of Confucianism. After that, Yao Shu, Zhao Bi, Dou Mo, Zhang Dehui and other celebrities entered his shogunate one after another, and he admired Confucianism very much, and said to Confucianism: Although I can't do what you say immediately, I can't do it when I know it. After Kublai Khan took charge of the Han land, Shang Ting, Xu Heng, Hao Jing, Song Zizhen and others successively responded to the edict.

With the addition of these talents from the Central Plains, Kublai Khan established a Confucian-dominated Shogunate of the Golden Lotus River to protect and develop Confucianism. He later accepted the title of "Grand Master of Confucianism", demonstrating Kublai Khan's determination to establish himself as a lord of China supported by the orthodox culture of the Central Plains. And the Golden Lianchuan shogunate laid a good social foundation for Kublai Khan to establish the Yuan Dynasty.

In fact, these Confucian scholars not only actively offered advice to Kublai Khan, but also helped Kublai Khan effectively govern the Han region in the Central Plains. In order to further promote the Chinese law in the Central Plains, experience was gained. The Confucian scholar Yao Shu said to Kublai Khan: "Today, the breadth of the people, the number of people, and the wealth of the people are like those of the Han Dynasty. …… When the courtiers ask him, he will repent of taking it, and he will not only have the power of the army...... Then things will be fine."

Yao Shu's advice was very helpful to Kublai Khan, and shortly thereafter, Meng Ke was indeed suspicious of the expansion of Kublai Khan's power and sent Alan Daer to hook the Han land. The Confucian scholars also planned for Kublai Khan to enter and meet Meng Ge, dispelling Meng Ge's suspicion of Kublai Khan. During this period, the Han faction in the Central Plains was unprecedentedly strong, and the implementation of the Hui Law in the Central Plains was contained.

After Kublai Khan ascended the throne, he "changed his ancestral narrative" and reformed the Great Mongolian State, which was dominated by the steppe bureaucratic system, and gradually established a centralized political system suitable for ruling the whole country. At the beginning of the Central Dynasty and the Yuan Dynasty, Kublai Khan trusted and reused these Confucian ministers with his "former vassals" as the main body, and implemented a fruitful policy of sinicization.

However, the good times were short-lived, and the Han faction was all opposed to Yanli and had no better way to solve the financial problems faced by the Yuan government, and their relationship with Kublai Khan gradually became estranged. Ahmad and other ministers of finance took advantage of Kublai Khan's trust to co-opt people who managed their finances for personal gain and sold officials. These actions were completely contrary to the Confucian governance ideals of the traditional Han Confucian courtiers, and were therefore opposed by the majority of Confucian courtiers.

An Tong was the prime minister at the time, and he was able to recommend and be kind to Confucian ministers, advocating Han law, and being lenient in political punishment, so he had the reputation of being a virtuous minister. These Confucian scholars gathered around the crown prince Zhenjin and the prime minister An Tong, forming a political force that advocated Han law and opposed the ministers of financial management. Between the second and sixth years of the Yuan Dynasty, Confucian ministers supported and assisted Prime Minister An Tong, stepped up the formulation and improvement of various systems, promoted Kublai Khan's continued progress on the line of practicing Han law, stabilized the position of the Han law faction in Zhongshu Province, and formed a confrontation with the Ahmad group.

There was a fierce conflict between the Hui and Han factions, and Zhao knew that the main difference between the Hui and Han factions was actually the attitude towards financial management.

However, in the process of financial management, Hui Fa completely disregarded the bearing capacity of the people and the state law, which was not conducive to the operation of the state power and the perfection of the rule of officials in the Yuan Dynasty.

However, as far as the Han school is concerned, although the Han Confucian ministers can be said to have made great contributions to the establishment of various systems, after the establishment of state power, their understanding of the current situation of the country's financial difficulties did not meet the needs of social development at that time, and their views on financial management were exactly different from those of Kublai Khan, which was the main reason for Kublai Khan's estrangement from them.

After Ahmad was killed in the political struggle, Kublai Khan had no choice but to implement the second phase of Confucianism, but the Confucian ministers' views on financial management did not change in the slightest, so that after Ahma's death, the ministers of the court shy away from financial interests, and did not have Kublai Khan's intention to enrich the country and the people. So that Lu Shirong, who bribed in Ahma, could be used. As soon as he came to power, he immediately used the officials of the Ahama dictatorship, and the second phase of Confucianism died immediately.

Zhao Yu knows that the main reasons for this conflict are very complex, especially after experiencing the baptism of this era. The reason why it is difficult to reconcile the disputes between the Mongol and Yuan factions is, first of all, in terms of culture, there is a gap between the two completely heterogeneous cultures advocated by the Hui and Han ethnic groups during this period, the Han Confucian culture and the beliefs of the Hui people, and in their coexistence, all kinds of misunderstandings and conflicts will inevitably arise.

Cultural differences make the Han and Hui fundamentally different in terms of control policies. Hui advocates that individuals own wealth and create wealth, and Hui officials apply it to the state, which leads to their preference for policies that can "open up profits" such as the "tax package system" and state monopoly. This happened to be contrary to the Confucian idea of "people-oriented" and "hiding wealth for the people", so there was a sharp conflict between the two in how to rule the Han land in the Central Plains.

In addition, in terms of the moral cultivation of the officials themselves, the Han Confucian scholars who advocate Cheng Zhu Lixue advocate "self-cultivation to govern the country and level the world" and take self-cultivation as the foundation, but most of the Hui financial officials are often "both officials and businessmen", and take officials as business, so rentier is their greatest pursuit, so Hui officials are mostly corrupt and bend the law, favor and invite power, and the party and the masses are traitors, which is also a reason for the incompatibility between Han officials and Hui Hui officials.

In addition, the Hui-Han conflict in the Yuan Dynasty was also determined by the ruling policies of the Mongol aristocracy. The Mongols were less than one-twentieth of the Han Chinese, and in order to complete their rule over the Han region and maintain their own national characteristics, the Mongols not only needed Han scholars to participate in the political power, but also needed to use the Hui people to balance the political power of the Han people, and implement the rule of the Hui people to govern the Han land, and the ruling concept of the Han people governing the Hui land ran through the entire Mongol and Yuan dynasties......
