Chapter 187: Changzhou Zhizhou Wang Anshi
The Beijing Times, next door to Qiao'er Ready-to-Wear, has opened again, and there are many people who come to the door, most of them are those who want to show their poetry and articles.
Cai Qu sits here, and after a little preliminary screening, Gan Qi will personally take a look. But he was still a little busy, so Confucius and Feng Ziyu were pulled by Gan Qi as laborers.
Articles and the like, Gan Qi can check it himself, and when Gan Qi reads articles, there is actually only one criterion, whether it is nutritious or not.
Whether it is a well-written scenery, a well-written travelogue, or something high-minded, or a different opinion on the remarks of the sages, or a fresh view on the ancients and ancient things, and so on.
But these things, Gan Qi still felt that it was not enough, so he was ready to make an essay, and the topic of the essay Gan Qi also spent a little bit of thought, thinking about it, Gan Qi gave a word: Bing.
The word "soldier" can be understood in any way, as a tactic and tactic for strategizing, and as a military strategy......
Gan Qi actually wants others to understand how to strengthen the army, but Gan Qi doesn't say it clearly.
In the Great Song Dynasty, in terms of the recruitment system, there were actually problems, and then the status of the soldiers, and then the treatment of the soldiers, were all problems.
The recruitment system must be changed, and the recruitment system of the Great Song Dynasty is actually a disaster relief system in a large way. Wherever there is a drought or flood, we will recruit soldiers and bring those displaced people to serve as soldiers and eat food.
This is really a genius policy, killing two birds with one stone, both to prevent the victims from rising up and to replenish the army.
But this is also an extremely lazy policy, which directly leads to the fact that soldiers are inherently inferior, like beggars, as if they can't survive, so they go to the army. Then the faces of the soldiers were tattooed with black letters, which seemed to be easy to manage, but in fact, it further humiliated these soldiers.
Therefore, the soldiers of the Song Dynasty were not only looked down upon by others, but in fact, they had an inferiority complex in their hearts and in society.
Soldiers cannot feel a great sense of honor, but are born with inferiority. How ridiculous is that? Coupled with the ideology of the entire ruling class that emphasizes literature over military force, the status of a soldier is even more low.
Gan Qi would like to see someone talk about the word "soldier" from this aspect, but Gan Qi also knows that no one should talk about the issue of "soldier" from this aspect, because this perception of soldiers has become a common view of the whole society, and this has become an alternative "universal value."
If you want to change the people's and officials' views on the military, it will not happen overnight, and it will also require subtle changes.
In the end, Gan Qi still had to write some subtle articles on his own, discussing the value and significance of the military as a group in society, and how soldiers should be treated with due respect.
But Gan Qi also knows that no matter how these articles are written, it is actually difficult to change the existing concepts in the hearts of the people. To really make soldiers inherently have a strong sense of honor, in the Great Song Dynasty, this is how difficult it is.
Gan Qi sat in the editorial office of the Beijing Times, slowly looked at the manuscript, and knocked down one article after another.
At this time, a man in his thirties walked in, wearing a square crown on his head, a meticulously groomed beard under his chin, long sideburns, a high nose, a slightly open nose, and slightly fat.
After this man walked in, he looked left and right, and asked, "I don't know which one is Gan Qi Gan Daojian?" ”
Gan Qi got up and arched his hand slightly: "Under Gan Daojian, I don't know who it is in person?" ”
The person who came smiled, looked at Gan Qi, and said with a smile: "Wang Anshi, the governor of Xiachangzhou, is polite." ”
Wang Anshi? Gan Qi was slightly surprised, looked at Wang Anshi from head to toe again, and raised his hand to invite: "Wang Zhizhou, please take a seat." ”
Wang Anshi was not polite, sat down to the side, and said: "I haven't been in Beijing for a long time, this time I entered Beijing, and suddenly I saw someone selling newspapers on the street, and I bought a copy to see, which is really interesting." Inquire left and right, and I heard that you are Gandaojian's great name, and the country is fortunate that talented people have come out from generation to generation. came to see him, and it was really different from ordinary people. ”
Wang Anshi is a greeting, and Gan Qi is naturally modest: "Wang Zhizhou has a good reputation, and in the capital, I often hear people talk about Wang Zhizhou's sage as an official in various places. ”
Gan Qi also said a pleasant greeting, Gan Qi actually thought about meeting Wang Anshi one day, but he didn't expect that it was this way of meeting, or Wang Anshi ran to the door by himself. There were some surprises, the two met for the first time, and they only greeted each other like this.
Wang Anshi was originally the governor of Changzhou, but he appeared in the capital at this time, Gan Qi didn't need to guess, nine times out of ten he was about to be promoted, so he said that Wang Anshi had a happy event.
Wang Anshi waved his hand and smiled: "This time I just went to Beijing to report on my work, whether there is a happy event has not yet been decided, and I may have to go back to Changzhou in a few days." That's why I came to see you, I have a long article here, specially brought to you to see, if you can see it, bother to publish one or two. ”
After speaking, Wang Anshi had already taken out the article from his arms and handed it to Gan Qi.
Gan Qi naturally took it, a thick stack, I am afraid that it will be more than 10,000 words. Gan Qi slowly flipped through it, and immediately looked in.
The content of the long article clearly explained the problems that Wang Anshi saw as an official in various places, and even pointed out the problems of the country, such as economic embarrassment, corruption of the people's atmosphere, and worries about national defense and military affairs.
Because Gan Qi has never been out of Bianliang, he has not really seen the social forms of various places with his own eyes, most of them start from the history they understand, and they also think about these problems from the perspective of the big picture.
And Wang Anshi said that most of the thoughts brought about by what he saw with his own eyes were specific things one by one, and specific problems one by one.
This undoubtedly complements Ganqi's understanding of the society of the Great Song Dynasty.
Gan Qi was fascinated.
Wang Anshi waited without any hurry, and was even happy that Gan Qi read his article so carefully. Wang Anshi's article is really long, if Gan Qi takes a few casual glances, he and Wang Anshi start to talk and laugh, but Wang Anshi feels that he is not taken seriously.
At this time, Gan Qi was watching seriously, almost not looking up, but Wang Anshi was full of smiles, and the tea beside him was added several times.
At the end of the article, Wang Anshi had already put forward some ideas and frameworks for reform, and Gan Qi read this part quickly, and there were many places where Gan Qi had other opinions.
But Gan Qi did not open his mouth to say these opinions, and after putting down the article, Gan Qi smiled and said: "Wang Zhizhou's article is worried about the country and the people, and it is to the point. It is a rare article, and three days later, this article should be published in the newspaper without missing a word. ”
Wang Anshi got up and bowed slightly: "Thank you very much, I want to write this text to Your Majesty, but I saw such a thing as the Beijing Times, so I first published it, first with the world, and then with Your Majesty, so I also hope that the imperial court can pay attention to these problems and improve them as soon as possible." ”
Wang Anshi's long article, in fact, can still be seen thousands of years later, the name is "Emperor Shangrenzong's Book of Words", which is the first time Wang Anshi was transferred from Changzhou to Tokyo, the first time to give the emperor a fold, the first time to put forward the basic idea of reform. But he appeared in front of Gan Qi first.
But when Wang Anshi really began to change the law, it was eleven years later, when Zhao Zongshi died, and Xiao Needle became the emperor. The current Wang Anshi is still in a humble position, which is not enough to affect the overall situation of the court.
Gan Qi looked at Wang Anshi in front of him, and suddenly asked, "Wang Zhizhou has been free recently?" ”
Wang Anshi was a little puzzled when he heard this, and asked: "There is nothing important, just waiting for the arrangement of the imperial court, what can Dao Jian entrust?" ”
Gan Qi immediately said: "There is a academy outside the southern city of Xia, and there are thousands of students listening to the lectures, if Wang Zhizhou has time, such a high theory, it would be better to teach the junior students." ”
Wang Anshi was stunned when he heard this, and thought that he had heard it wrong, he was a little shocked, and he didn't believe it, and asked: "Thousands of students listen to the lecture?" ”
