Section VIII

If you don't count the fighting of the expeditionary corps on the other side of the ocean, the second half of 1687 was relatively peaceful, at least much better than the bloody 'melee' war in the previous years, since Shandong was subordinated to the Han court, Yang Qilong, the leader of the peasant rebel army in Henan, also had to express his desire for harmony to Beijing, and thus obtained the title of governor, so the current mainstream of the entire Yellow River basin was defined as "peace and development" by the Lin and Han courts.

Under this trend, the Chinese culture that has been silent for a long time since the Great Song Dynasty has been a small revival, this thing can not but be said to be a little strange, to be honest, the current situation in China is not very good, although the large-scale war has been temporarily controlled, but it is far from reaching the level of economic rejuvenation, at least the average level of the majority of the common people is the level of dry rice porridge 'mixed' belly, so in terms of historical common sense, in this case, the trend of literature and art is somewhat inconsistent with social laws.

The main 'inducement' for this abnormal situation is the cultural policy of the Lin Han Dynasty, because of Lin Feng's personal relationship, the current cultural policy of the Lin Han Empire is much easier than that of the Ming and Qing dynasties, especially after the joining of Gu Yanwu and Huang Zongxi, this opening has become wider and wider, and now the scholars can basically be regarded as unscrupulous when discussing state affairs, although in view of the impact of the previous "Wu Meicun case", most people have not yet had the courage to point fingers at the Han Dynasty. But there is no need to worry about Li Guangdi and other big officials jumping to scold their mothers, after such a long time of temptation, the Qingliu people have also found the bottom line of the imperial court's policy, that is, as long as they do not openly promote rebellion or subversion, then basically no one will find you trouble, in fact, compared to the Ming and Qing dynasties, the performance of the Lin Han Empire in this regard is indeed remarkable, and even the Great Zhou Dynasty on the other side of the Yangtze River is far from comparable, which can be seen from whether the leaders of the two sides conceal their origins, Although the official Han court has always touted the origin of the Han King and the process of seizing power, it does not conceal the basic facts of fiction, if you insist on being exquisite, as long as you don't point your nose and scold the rogue and the thief, then you can go with it, but the Southern Zhou side has a very strict control over this, basically as long as it mentions what "Shanhaiguan" or "Chongguan is angry and red-faced" and the like, it has to be locked up for 180 years without killing the head.

At present, there are a lot of popular people in Beijing, scattered in many industries, most of the people who are generally engaged in music or poetry creation haunt the brothel of the Qinglou, and those who engage in formal literature choose to work part-time in the teahouse, in addition, under the leadership of Dai Zi, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry of the Imperial Court, the majority of mathematics enthusiasts are often connected in the Jiangsu Guild Hall, and other things about painting are also out of the cumbersome work such as painting statues or temple corridors, and the Oriental Theological Seminary opened by Nan Huairen has raised a large number of similar idlers. Men's similar courses, which at a glance seem to be a bit of a Renaissance, gave birth to many famous works of the population, and if we are careful in terms of quantity and quality, in this respect the north of China has overtaken the south for the first time since the Liao state.

Among the many people with extensive influence, if the most famous is probably Wu Meicun, of course, this is not to say that he belongs to the idol faction, in fact, Wu Weiye is now seventy years old, in terms of current medical conditions and life expectancy, it is basically good to be able to breathe, so it is very demanding to be exquisite in appearance and temperament, the reason why he is popular is because he is really very powerful, especially the song "Round Song" that was popular all over the country during the pseudo-Qing Dynasty, It can be said that in the Qinglou, which Qing people said that they couldn't sing this 'door' and couldn't greet others, and because of political reasons, this song has now been banned by the Northern and Southern Dynasties, but because of the reversal of the case in the Han Dynasty, the government has never cracked down in a substantive sense, so basically the folk still sing correctly.

Since he was released from prison by the government, Wu Meicun has been staying in Beijing, because now the Southern Zhou Dynasty has listed him as a "slanderer of the monarch's father", so he has no way to go back to his hometown in Jiangnan, so he has to stay in Beijing to 'mix' and wait for death. Now he is in good physical condition, the prison of the Metropolitan Procuratorate has not left him with very bad sequelae, in fact, celebrities like him sit very beautifully even if they are in prison, unlike other prisoners, he was detained in a small courtyard of the Metropolitan Procuratorate when he committed the crime, and the food was good, except for enduring a little cumbersome interrogation, no one deliberately abused him. After being rescued from prison by the vast number of Shilin, the Jiangsu Guild Hall immediately allocated a big house for his old man to stay, and prepared a number of servants and maids to serve, so now his life is quite comfortable, in this good environment, some time ago Wu Meicun launched a new set of books, called "Fudong Yuji", is a long word, dedicated to the "door" to describe the Han Nuergan governor Zhang Shu 'jade' important affairs, as far as Wu Meicun's creative motives are concerned, but there is a lot of suspicion of affection and sycophancy, because Zhang Shu ' Jade' and he is really very iron, but this does not hinder the status of this book in literature, in the end this thing is not as good as being an official, if it is not well written, it must be recognized by the reader, and the level is not good, it is absolutely not good, Shilin does not look at it because he is famous for Zhang Shu 'jade', in this category, the Tang Dynasty people are more outrageous than him, and there is a "send XXX back to the West" and the like in the poetry collection of your real name, which is still famous all over the world.

In terms of promoting literary and artistic works, the red light district of the Han Empire made an indelible contribution. According to traditional Chinese habits, most of the general scholars will choose to engage in this kind of activity in brothels, and I don't know when this vice was formed, Lin Feng felt very strange when he thought of this, because of the identity problem, he was not very involved in this occasion, but if you think of Li Bai shouting while prostituting prostitutes, "The water of the Yellow River comes up from the sky and flows to the sea and never returns", I feel a little disgusted, and in terms of the grade and classification of brothels, the more high-end Qinglou is aimed at the older the customer base, such as the most famous brothel in Beijing now"Youwangtai", in terms of the name, no one can imagine that kind of place, but it is very much the appetite of the old guy, and the rules of the brothel are also very special, as soon as you enter the "door", you have to sing promises, incense, stroking the qin, couplets, poems, and songs, etc., people who know understand that it is "sex" before preparation, and those who do not know how to do it think that it is the monarch and the minister play right, so under this condition, the market rules of these brothels are naturally "prostitutes have a great Confucian bud without white ding", the blue-headed guy can not find the north after entering the "door", and there is generally no seven, Eighty-year-old girls don't bother to look at you.

Wu Meicun spends most of his time in these places, although many people secretly doubt his ability in this area, but this has not affected his interest in the old man, and in addition to him, Gu Yanwu, Huang Zongxi and other bosses often meet here, and everyone talks about their feelings and feelings. Sex is very special regulations, so their behavior is not illegal, and such a famous literary giant as them is also widely welcomed in this place, if any girl gets their favor, write a poem or something, it will immediately be a hundred times the value of the carp Yue Long 'door', and the brothel owner does not dare to offend them, and absolutely does not dare to charge any fees, because if these people go to another brothel, it means that this green house has "elegance and elegance", So we can only wait to be eliminated by the market. So now there is a rule for everyone in Beijing to do this business, generally the high-end green building to open, the first thing to do is definitely not to decorate or anything, but to ask the master to write an invitation for the first time, and then send it to the boss's mansion respectfully - this matter is unimaginable in Lin Feng's opinion, not to mention the 21st century, even if it is turned back to a few decades, which brothel is the first to find Lao She or Lu Xun to promote business after the opening of the brothel?!

Approaching the end of the year, Beijing ushered in a big man, this old guy is from Hunan, his name is Wang Fuzhi, if you talk about identity and status, Wang Boss will definitely not be under the head of others, this time the reason why he traveled thousands of miles to Beijing is because of the repeated invitations of the Han Empire, which can not hinder the face of Gu Yanwu and Huang Zongxi, and reluctantly come over and run down the scene. In fact, in order to be afraid that something would go wrong on his way, the Han Dynasty and the Southern Zhou Dynasty both made powerful measures, and the Prime Minister of the Southern Zhou Dynasty, Xia Guoxiang, personally ordered to send 200 soldiers all the way to Jiangxi, and then solemnly 'handed' with the garrison Han army, and Li Guangdi did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and immediately sent the General Staff to the Navy Department after receiving the news, and 'pumped' the best inland river ships to take the canal into Beijing, and the two sides of the strait followed the 'elite' iron cavalry, all the way from Anhui to Beijing.

Hearing that the boss had entered Beijing, Lin Feng immediately ordered to welcome him into Zhongnanhai and meet him at the first time.

For Wang Fuzhi, Lin Feng does not have a very intuitive impression, the only vague memory is a simple introduction in the middle school textbook, and after coming to this era, he has put a lot of effort into the academics of this era, and only then did he understand a little bit about their respective academic schools and status, but it is difficult to say whether they really understand it.

"The old prince has seen His Royal Highness the King of Han!"

Wang Fuzhi looks good, it is rare for a person in his sixties to have this state, but he speaks in a strong rural accent, with a grand Hengyang flavor, Lin Feng can not understand it.

"Mr. Chuanshan doesn't have to be polite," Lin Feng said politely to him, "Mr. Daming is salty in the sea, Wen Jun intends to go north, and the northern Shilin is all looking forward to it, Lin is fortunate to have Mr. Gu's appearance, it is really a blessing for three lives!" ”

Wang Fuzhi squinted his eyes and looked at Lin Feng, his actions were extremely weak, and he was so frightened that the 'attendant' warrior next to him was in a cold sweat, but Lin Feng didn't say anything, in fact, he had this mental preparation before this, you must know that this time it was a Hunan person.

After a little silence, Wang Fuzhi stretched out a thumbs up to Lin Feng, shook his head and sighed, "The Han King is majestic, he really has the posture of a dragon and a tiger?!" He smiled bitterly, "The East Disaster 'chaos' world has been in turmoil for a long time, my Han Dynasty has been lost for decades, and the old decay has also raised troops against each other in the past, and has also been under the command of the Tang King of the Ming Dynasty. He sighed with emotion, "Now that I am going north to the Central Plains, everyone is dressed in Han family costumes, which is really like a previous life!" ”

Lin Feng smiled, he was calloused to hear similar words, usually a random stranger would have to mention this matter, he said politely, "Mr. Miaozan - please take a seat!" ”

After Wang Fuzhi sat down, Lin Feng said to him, "I heard Gu Yanwu say that our Guozijian invited Mr. last year, but Mr. didn't come!" ”

"That's right," Wang Fuzhi nodded and said, "If the Han Dynasty doesn't open the new department of 'Ming Things' and 'Ming Doctors', the old man may not come!" ”

"What do you say?!" Lin Feng said in surprise, and suddenly became interested, you must know that this new imperial examination can be said to be promoted by him, in this regard, except for a few people of insight in the court, there are really few people who can vigorously agree, "Does Mr. Chuanshan also think that we are doing the right thing?!" ”

"Of course!" Wang Fuzhi seemed to be a little surprised, it seems that although the King of Han is enthusiastic about himself, he obviously does not know enough about his academics, "The life of the old man has always advocated that 'qi has gathered and dispersed, but there is no birth and death', and 'the line can be known, and the knowledge cannot be both,' to complement the knowledge of things, so the Han Dynasty enlightened the science of things, so that the reader knows the way of knowledge and action, which is really in line with the foolish opinion of the old beetle!! Seeing that King Han's face was full of 'confusion', he hurriedly added, "The old knowledge is not rational and non-king (note: the 'king' here refers to Wang Yangming), but it seems to be like a king, not ingenious, it is actually the result of decades of reading and understanding, in the past Song Dynasty, there was a predecessor Shenyi, and Wang was just picking up people's teeth!" ”

What the hell is this old guy talking about?! Lin Feng was confused at all, but his face nodded again and again, "Good, good, good!" ”

Seeing that Lin Feng seemed to be a little puzzled, Wang Fuzhi immediately took out two notebooks from his sleeves, stretched out his hand and handed them to the 'attendant' next to him, and arched his hand to Lin Feng, "This is written by Lao Yu in recent years, and one is called "Zhou Yi Biography"; the other is "Quotations from Shangshu", which tells the way of heaven and man, hoping to explain the unspoken words of predecessors; Shen Gu did not mention the meaning - please also ask the King of Han for advice!! ”

Lin Feng subconsciously took the book, flipped through the two at random, and nodded with a dry smile, "Good, good, good!" ”

Wang Fuzhi smiled and said, "In fact, the ancients have already made a conclusion on this way, and there are many corrupt Confucians in the Song Dynasty, misunderstanding the legacy of the sages, and the Cheng and Zhu are even more absurd paradoxes, and they have delayed the Ming Dynasty for hundreds of years, which is indeed embarrassing," he said to Lin Feng, "Fortunately, the King of Han has set aside the 'chaos' anyway, and the world is very fortunate!" I thought ......"

"Ahem...... cough ......" Lin Fenggan coughed and interrupted Wang Fuzhi's words, and said with a wry smile, "This...... This, Mr. Funayama, let me tell you honestly, I don't understand what you said," Seeing the change in the 'color' of Wang Fu's face, Lin Feng hurriedly raised the book and added, "But I think what you said is probably to ask readers to pay attention to reality, and in addition to studying hard, you also need to do more practice, right?!" ”

Wang Fuzhi was stunned for a long time, and then nodded slowly, "It's not his full intention, but it's generally the same!" ”

Lin Feng slapped his big 'leg', "Yes, in fact, I mean the same thing, so this subject is opened here, so that the world corps Lin can study hard!" He laughed at Wang Fuzhi and said, "Actually, Mr. is not the same as chewing words, in fact, our purpose is the same, and it can be regarded as the same destination, right?!" ”

Wang Fuzhi smiled dumbly, this Han King is really interesting, he doesn't know how to learn, and he desperately puts gold on his face, but at this moment, he can only smile bitterly and echo, "That's right, Wang is honored!" ”

"Okay, that's why this king wants to hire Mr. Funayama!" He thought for a while, "Our Guozijian is lacking the chief governor of the Ming Things, you know, Mr. Nan Lei is in charge of the Ming Sutra and the Law Calculation, and Mr. Ning Ren was transferred to the Hanlin Academy to study the "History of the Ming Dynasty", so this aspect is still lacking!" ”

Wang Fuzhi smiled reservedly, twisted his beard and remained silent.

Most of these guys have this temper, and they must be praised before they can work. Lin Feng is thinking about it now, this old guy must have come to Beijing when he saw that he could show what he had learned here, otherwise why did he come all the way here? But this step was not given, and he stood up at the moment, bowed deeply to Wang Fuzhi, and said solemnly, "Mr. Chuanshan, for the sake of Chinese knowledge, please help me!" ”
