Chapter 313: Yan Shu returns
On the eighth day of October, it is the auspicious day of the wedding selected by Zongzheng Temple for Zhao Miaoyuan, and the Buddhist scriptures say that this day is the day of Nirvana, and a blessing is equivalent to a thousand blessings......
There are not a few people who believe in Buddhism in the Song Dynasty, but because of Zhao Zhen's official dislike of Buddhism, many people began to believe in Buddhism in a way that pleases auspiciousness.
Zhao Miaoyuan is Zhao Zhen's only sister, even if she is not born to the same mother, it will not affect the relationship between the two, who doesn't know that the official family loves his sister and does not hesitate to send Yan Shu out of Tianfu?
In the eyes of many courtiers, the official family's punishment of Yan Shu was too severe, wasn't it just to knock out the front teeth of the inner servant?
What does it matter if you knock out a tooth!
The status of eunuchs in the Great Song Dynasty is not high, even if Sancai sees the prime minister of the two mansions, he still has to bow down and sing a fat song.
But in the eyes of those who care, Zhao Zhen's derogatory behavior of Yan Shu has become Jian Zai's emperor's heart, and he has been the governor of Yingtianfu for a year, and even if his political performance is mediocre, he can save enough political capital.
What's more, Yan Shu has made remarkable achievements in Yingtianfu, attaches great importance to the development of the academy, vigorously supports Yingtianfu Academy, and even invites Fan Zhongyan, who resigned from his official position and mourns, to give lectures at the academy, cultivating a large number of talents.
The embankment built by Fan Zhongyan has been repaired in four years, but after his mother's death, he resigned from the government and swore to keep filial piety for his mother.
Fan Zhongyan's knowledge is undoubtedly excellent, and his greatest advantage is that he does not exclude other knowledge, and even the study of things is extremely important, regardless of relatives and relatives, and everyone is treated equally.
This made Yingtian Academy a famous academy on the same level as Bailu Cave, Shigu, and Yuelu, and the Song people now collectively call them the Four Great Academies, which are not inferior to the Guozijian.
The most commendable thing is that Yan Shu has a long-term vision, not only attaches importance to the development of the academy, but also opens martial arts, which is the first martial arts in the Great Song Dynasty in addition to the military academy on Yishan, of course, although it is not comparable to the military academy, but it also provides a shortcut to the south of many people who have written from Rong to study martial arts.
Students who have graduated from the Yingtian Martial Arts Academy are much easier to participate in the enrollment of the Military Martial Academy, which is also the most gratifying place for Zhao Zhen, after all, the training of military generals cannot rely on the inheritance of the Military Academy alone, which also makes the basic martial arts education of the Great Song Dynasty begin, both in politics and in the people's reputation has an extraordinary impact, which is extremely conducive to improving the status of martial artists.
Four years is enough time for Yan Shu to understand Zhao Zhen's painstaking efforts, every time he surveys for so many years, Zhao Zhen will press Yan Shu in the position of Ying Tianfu and do not move, as a former companion, how can Yan Shu not understand Zhao Zhen's intentions, and now he can proudly say that Ying Tianfu is a simplified version of Tokyo City!
Ying Tianfu is Zhao Zhen's only experimental city other than Tokyo City, Yan Shu understands its importance is also the reason why he is reluctant to leave, who wants his four years of hard work to just become a stepping stone for himself to climb up? Before selecting a suitable successor, Yan Shu was reluctant to leave.
The horse-drawn carriage speeding on the official road pulled Yan Shu, who was still thinking about Ying Tianfu, back to reality when it hit the violent bumps of the stones, and looked at the sun, and he could reach Tokyo City in one hour.
Thinking of Cai Boyu's letter, Yan Shu smiled slightly, this kid was full of threats in the letter, and Yan Shu laughed at the sentence of not seeing your face and cutting off his robe, and Cai Boyu's fat face jumped on the paper.
Although both of them are Zhao Zhen's companions, the direction of development is completely different, one is in business and the other is in business, both are Zhao Zhen's right-hand men, and both are indispensable.
Yan Shu knew his position, so he never anxiously aspired for political achievements, unlike some state officials who did not hesitate to requisition labor to build embankments, factories and even city defenses that were not needed at all in order to obtain political capital to climb up, and there was no need for a town in the hinterland of the Great Song Dynasty to build such high walls and moats.
When Yan Shu's carriage arrived at the Fengqiu Gate, he found that the original Fengqiu Gate was impassable at all, and the hideous city defense looked at him with a creepy appearance, the iron thorns at the door rejected the horse, the sergeant holding a ratchet crossbow, and the eight-ox crossbow on the city wall...... This is the city gate, which is completely a huge mouth that devours the enemy.
The driver who was driving the car was already trembling with fright, and asked with a trembling tongue, "Big ...... Big...... Master, shall we go through the other door? ”
Yan Shu smiled slightly: "Then go around and enter the city from the Nanxun Gate!" ”
No wonder the Western Expedition of the Great Song Dynasty was able to seize the land of the two states of the party, well-trained soldiers, excellent and unparalleled ordnance, and people who saw everything were full of enthusiasm! The dignified squire of the Criminal Department, the prefect of Ying Tianfu, actually made a detour in front of the Fengqiu Gate like this, not out of fear but respect.
From the eyes of the soldiers standing guard at the door just now, Yan Shu saw the inviolability of military discipline.
After arriving at Nanxunmen, Yan Shu was even more stunned by the cement road on the ground, the carriage was like sitting on the clouds, smooth and stable, there was no bumpy feeling at all, and he felt that the carriage did not seem to shake.
The road in the city has become extremely spacious, the vendors who originally set up stalls on the road are gone, and they are all set up on both sides of the road to sell goods, and the wooden tables, chairs and benches are exactly the same, Yan Shu carefully observed the changes in Tokyo City, and learned from the changes in Tokyo City from its strengths, and it can be promoted after meeting Ying Tianfu, the more Yan Shu thinks about it, the more excited he becomes, he has already built Ying Tianfu as his home.
The people on the road saw a carriage slowly moving on the street, but the speed was extremely slow, the young man in the car kept sticking his head out to poke his brain, provoking a lot of vehicles carrying female dependents to catch up frequently, and some little ladies stretched out their heads to see Yan Shu's appearance and shouted with a blushing face: "Dengzi!" "I don't know if I'm angry or shy.
Along the way, Yan Shu sighed that the city of Tokyo has changed beyond his imagination, even the original dirty West Water Gate has become much cleaner and tidy, and the unkempt beggars on the street are gone.
In the city of Tokyo today, anyone with hands and feet will not starve to death.
The most common sight on the street are those idlers, who ask if they need work, and slap their chests to ensure that they will find a good owner with him, and the Chinese industry has become much more lively.
According to Cai Boyu's address in the letter, Yan Shu's carriage soon arrived at Cai's house on Da Cargo Street, and in front of the tall mansion was a pair of stone gate piers, which were not carved with lions of civil officials, but two vivid Pixiu......
Sure enough, who is using something to town the house, this Pixiu who can't get in and out just happens to match Cai Boyu's greed for money!
Sighing Yan Shu walked up the stairs, he was a visiting friend who didn't need to report the name of the official family and other tedious things, just tidied up his clothes and said to the porter: "It is rumored that your master, the old friend Yan Shu is visiting!" ”
As soon as the servant heard Yan Shu's name, where did he dare to slack off, he immediately cheered up and sang with a smile on his face: "It was Yan Shilang, the master has his own explanation, Yan Shilang must be invited to the flower hall for tea when he comes, and the villain will go to inform the master!" ”
Yan Shu nodded slightly and followed the official family into the mansion, the wide vestibule, the carved beams and painted buildings all show that this is about to become the mansion of the Horse Mansion, as the Mansion of the Horse Mansion This place is not much luxury, but there are a lot of strange flowers and flowers in the courtyard, it seems that Cai Boyu's kid has been carefully prepared, otherwise with his character, how would he plant so many useless things in the courtyard?
