Chapter 217 The General Cause of the Ming Monarch's Magnificent Chapter

Since Cui He's mansion came out, Ge Hong did not feel relaxed at all, on the contrary, his mood was even heavier. When the palanquin man saw his appearance, he didn't dare to speak loudly, but asked softly, "Xianggong, are you going back to your home or going elsewhere?" ”

The Liuqiu carriage is more comfortable than the Great Song Dynasty carriage, especially for the dignitaries and wealthy families, not only using the best materials, but also a variety of shockproof designs are extremely considerate, and even the seats in the car are as much in line with the physical condition as possible, making people feel comfortable. Coupled with assembly line production, unified parts specifications and the most outstanding color management in this era, Liuqiu carriage has completely defeated the local carriage in the past two years, and even the sedan chair driver industry has also been strongly impacted. Now the families of officials in Lin'an City have begun to keep coachmen and quit the sedan chair drivers, only a few of the most stubborn still insist that the carriage is not as comfortable as the sedan chair and not as fast as riding, and resolutely refuse to change, Ge Hong is one of them. In the midst of the great changes brought about by Liuqiu, he seems to feel that only by insisting on this can he maintain his true heart and not get lost in convenience and enjoyment.

He got into the sedan chair and commanded in a low voice: "Go home." ”

The palanquin man had only walked a few steps, and Ge Hong changed his mind again: "That's it, go to Guozijian." ”

Guozijian in the Great Song Dynasty, by no means a decoration, although in terms of power it is far less prominent than the cabinet Zai Fu Shangshu, but since Gaozong Nandu, almost all the successive prime ministers have served in Guozijian. This place was originally the location of the great Confucian celebrities, and it was also the base camp of the Qingliu public discussion, that is, when the power ministers like Han and Shi held the authority of the country, there were still students in the Guozi Prison who let out a deafening roar.

The sedan chair stopped in front of the Guozi Prison, because Ge Hong came on a temporary basis, so no one knew, after he got out of the sedan chair, he casually stepped forward to announce, but was stopped by Ge Hong. He looked at the clothes on his body, and when he visited Cui You, he was not wearing an official robe, but just a regular robe. He walked in slowly with his hands behind his back, and no one stopped him.

Different from when he served in Guozijian at the beginning, the Son of Heaven has attached great importance to Guozijian since he was in power for a year, not only the household department allocated funds, but the Son of Heaven himself also took hundreds of thousands of yuan from the inner treasury to build a library known as the most in the Great Song Dynasty for Guozijian. When Lin'an Mansion was expanded, the Son of Heaven secretly helped a large amount of money to expand the Guozijian from a relatively narrow small building to a large building complex covering an area of more than 300 acres. Although the gate was still the same as in the past, after entering, Ge Hong couldn't help but take a breath.

Also inhaling at the same time as him was Fang Zhixing.

"It's just that I haven't been in the national prison for a year, and I didn't expect the change to be so big!"

Before Fang Zhixing went to the Business Library, he was also a member of the Confucian scholars, and since he was in Lin'an, he had not been to this country. It's just that after being forced into the business library by his father, he never came again. Recently, I heard that Chen Anping, Li Shi, and Shi Liang, the three students I knew, had caused trouble again, and the Lin'an Mansion was boiling again, if it weren't for the great discussion of the Son of Heaven's innovation, I am afraid that this matter would have become the headline in the newspapers in the past few weeks.

Hearing the emotion of the young man beside him, Ge Hong glanced at him and said with a smile: "You are not a student of Guozijian?" ”

"It's not." Fang Zhixing's face flushed slightly, and he saluted Ge Hong: "The elder is invited." ”

"Son, if you have time, how about accompanying my old man to take a look around?"

This young man is quite polite, and he knows how to advance and retreat, which makes Ge Hong feel a little good. Thinking that it was boring to be alone, I sent him an invitation.

"It is an honour for the younger generations to be able to walk with the elderly."

Fang Zhixing didn't call himself a student, and he didn't treat himself as a scholar anymore, although school books are not a manual job, strictly speaking, there are also special school clerks in the government - Wei Liaoweng was once driven to do this job when he was extremely jealous of Shi Miyuan. But he felt that since he was working for a businessman, he was like the bookkeeper, although he was literate and literate, he could no longer be a Confucian scholar.

In order to beautify Taixue, many trees have been planted in the past year, both seedlings and adult trees bought from other places. The Liuqiu people were very good at this, they dug up the roots of the big trees that had grown up, and then hoisted them with pulleys and levers, left the taproot and the soil together and wrapped it in cloth, and then cut and bundled the leaves, and dragged them into Taixue with a cart. After half a year, these trees have grown, and everywhere the two of them walk, they are full of greenery, which makes people feel very comfortable.

"This is the Guozijian Library." Coming to the newly built three-story building, decorated with glass windows and tiles, Ge Hong was slightly amazed that he had not been to Guozijian for a long time, and when he came back, the library was only built to the second floor. This large building, built of steel and concrete, bricks, and granite brought in by Liuqiu, is probably the largest building in the country, stretching out like a city wall. On top of the gate, there is a marble stone tablet with the words "Royal Library" on it, but it is Wei Liaoweng's handwriting.

"Father Wei Hua's five words are very well written." Ge Hong nodded approvingly.

"The younger generation heard that the collection of books in this library is so rich that even Ouchi can't compare to it. The Son of Heaven ordered the collection of books in the Ouchi Library to be specially organized, and all the single fragments were copied and printed, which is really a feat that is beneficial to the present generation. Fang Zhixing was not interested in Wei Liaoweng's characters, he was more interested in the collection of books in the library: "The younger generation now makes a living in the Commercial Press, and there are no less than 50 volumes of books that have been proofread by hand, and there are 20 proofreaders in the Commercial Press like the juniors, and there are more than 1,000 volumes proofread this year." ”

Listening to the pride in his words, Ge Hong nodded approvingly, but was immediately stunned.

The Son of Heaven does not like science, this is a well-known thing, and the Son of Heaven does not look down on Zhu Hui'an, which is also a well-known thing, but when the Son of Heaven printed the book, he did not discriminate against the works of science. Although in newspapers such as the Weekly Magazine, the tendencies of the Son of Heaven were evident, in the published works, the Son of Heaven did not discriminate equally.

Is this because the Son of Heaven is like a sea and accommodates all rivers, or is it because the Son of Heaven strictly controls the differences with the physicists in academic disputes?

"The younger generation is in the Commercial Press, and now the printing press does not stop every day, that is, to print all kinds of works from the past and present, the Son of Heaven once said to the proprietor of our printing company, this matter is not in a hurry, as long as it persists, one day, the way of my great Song Dynasty sages will be passed on to future generations together with these books, and will not be extinct due to war disasters."

"Establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, continue to learn for the saints, and open peace for all generations!"

Zhang Zai, a master of science in the national dynasty, suddenly appeared in Ge Hong's mind, Ge Hong took a breath of cold air, the Son of Heaven studied things intensively, and sought new learning to attract the power of heaven and earth for his own use, which can be regarded as establishing a heart for heaven and earth. The Son of Heaven values the people's livelihood, is tired of talking, and likes to be practical, which can be regarded as a life for the people. The Son of Heaven used the money of the treasury to run a primary school, print the books of a hundred schools, and build a Hongbo Museum, which can be regarded as a continuation of the study for the sake of the saints. The Son of Heaven is outside Hu Lu and cares for Li Shu inside, innovating and changing the law, is it for the peace of all generations?

Ge Hong hesitated for a while, until Fang Zhixing urged him, "Elder, elder!" ”

"Hehe, the old man has lost his temper for a while." Putting this question aside for the time being, Ge Hong smiled slightly, and said to Fang Zhixing: "Son, do you want to enter this royal library to have a look?" ”

"No need, let's concentrate on reading in the future." Fang Zhixing glanced at the door of the library and shook his head resolutely.

Ge Hong smiled slightly, if it weren't for this young man, he would have the heart to go in and have a look.

From the library to the right, in a garden rockery, the eaves of a small pavilion are exposed. Following the winding path, Ge Hong and Fang Zhixing walked forward, and when they got closer, they realized that this was not a small pavilion, but a series of winding long pavilions. Still far away, he heard someone reciting poetry, Ge Hong stopped, listened for a while, and nodded.

Such a place, quiet and comfortable, is the place to study.

After passing through the long pavilion, the two turned to the northeast and saw a small school field. This is the place that the Son of Heaven has asked to set aside in the Guozi Prison. Ge Hong also objected at the time, feeling that Guozijian was the place of the Confucian avenue, and there was no need to set aside a special place for the school, but he was blocked by the words of the Son of Heaven: "Confucius Six Arts, how can you shoot without a school?" ”

At this time, some students were playing Yuju on the school grounds, and many of them were dressed in that kind of flowing uniform. Ge Hong shook his head straight, feeling that this really lost the dignity of the Great Song Scholar, but at this moment, he saw a scholar in Confucian clothes accidentally stepping on the hem of his shirt and falling a big heel, and his face immediately turned red.

"Elder, this should be the place where Professor Guozijian gives lectures, and there is the cafeteria." Fang Zhixing pointed to the two rows of houses in the past of the school yard.

Ge Hong nodded, and suddenly there was a lack of interest, this country was originally a clear stream's residence, but now it is marked with the mark of the Son of Heaven everywhere. It is no wonder that since the last time the arson of the arsenal was arsoned, whenever the Son of Heaven made a decision, there was a lot of praise in the country's prison, and there were almost no objections and critics heard. is a character like Qiao Xingjian, who is also silent now, and the rest of the professors have spoken out against the government of the Son of Heaven, and almost every class will fall into a debate with the students of Taixue.

Unconsciously, Shilin has been divided by the Son of Heaven, at least in Lin'an...... Conservatives have almost collectively lost their voices. It's just that in Chuzhou, under the wings of Zhen Dexiu, they are still desperately waving their flags and shouting.

Thinking of Zhen Dexiu, Ge Hong shook his head, it doesn't take three years, in fact, Zhen Dexiu can admit defeat now.

As a political governor, he knew more things than ordinary people, and he paid special attention to the reports about Huaibei and Huainan. Zhen Dexiu has done a very good job in Chuzhou, and Chuzhou is full of waste and has begun to show its vitality. But what he has changed is only Chuzhou, and as far as the entire Huainan Road is concerned, there is almost no change. Huaibei is different, except for Xuzhou, the rest of the county governance places have also developed very rapidly. Although they have a large number of estates in the countryside, they only stay as tenant farmers, and they either live in the county seat or in large towns, and even these counties and towns are prosperous.

This is still the result of a major war and a natural disaster in Huaibei.

"Could it be...... Is the way of the Son of Heaven the true way of Confucianism? Like Wei Liaoweng deep down, Ge Hong thought so in his heart.

"Elder, the junior is going to meet a few friends, I don't know if the elder still has instructions."

While he was groaning, Fang Zhixing asked him, and he waved his hand: "The son is at his own convenience, and the old man is also going to see an old friend......"

After breaking up with Fang Zhixing, Ge Hong packed up his thoughts, and after asking a student, he came to a row of courtyards. This row of courtyards is specially prepared for the professors who teach in Guozijian, Qiao Xingjian is one of them, and when he comes to the courtyard, Ge Hong raised his voice and shouted, and after a while, the "Mr. Liu" came out and opened the door.

"Liu Xianzhang, are you back?" When Ge Hong saw him, his eyebrows twisted slightly, and he asked in a low voice.

"Ge Xianggong also knows the students." Liu Xianzhang saluted respectfully: "Liu Fu has seen Ge Xianggong. ”

"How did you go back to Beijing?" Ge Hong looked behind him: "What about Qiao Shouming?" ”

"The teacher was in the house, and the student was about to say goodbye, when Ge Xianggong came." Liu Fu smiled slightly: "Except for a few people such as Ge Xianggong, no one else knows that the late life is a disciple of the teacher, and the late life has been less than enough in the past two years, so it should be okay." ”

Ge Hong nodded, and glanced at Liu Fu again: "Be careful, there are ...... That kind of thing, you're still dead. ”

"Ge Xianggong can rest assured, the students are no longer as reckless as they were at the beginning." Liu Fu saluted again, then got out of the way, and after Ge Hong entered, the smile on his face immediately retracted and glanced behind him.

"Ge Hong actually said that kind of thing......" he thought to himself, and walked out the door quickly.

Before Ge Hong entered the house, Qiao Xingjian heard the sound and came out, and when he saw that it was Ge Hong, he smiled and said, "Xia Guan has seen Ge Xianggong." ”

"Brother Shouming."

Ge Hong didn't dare to be his courtesy, although the official positions of the two were quite different, but when it came to personal friendship, they were brothers in the same sect, and they both learned from Lu Zuqian at the beginning. Lu Zuqian is also in the line of science, but academically he is more similar to Chen Liang and Ye Shi, and they are also extremely utilitarian. Qiao Xingjian and Ge Hong did not have much academic achievement, but Qiao Xingjian accepted a very remarkable disciple, that is, Liu Fu Liu Xianzhang, who had just gone out, and he brought the utilitarian side of Lu Zuqian's utilitarian theory to the extreme, and it almost became a trick of scheming.

After the two of them sat down, Ge Hong saw Qiao Xingjian's expression, sighed and said: "Some time ago, those wealthy businessmen disrupted the market price, but Liu Xianzhang was in the middle of the plan? ”

Qiao Xingjian's face remained unchanged, and he just smiled: "Why did Father and Brother Rong say this, Liu Xianzhang knew that he had an unforgivable sin, and he was far away from the countryside, but he just thought that the foolish brother was old, so he ventured back to Lin'an to visit, where did he have anything to do with those wealthy businessmen!" ”

"Liu Xianzhang is not a person who is willing to die in the countryside." Ge Hong looked at Qiao Xingjian deeply: "Shouming, the original things are their own masters, as today's son is magnificent, and the ancient kings are beyond reach." Gong Qi Huan can tolerate Guan Zhong, how can he not tolerate Liu Xianzhang today? It's better for the virtuous brother and Liu Xianzhang to write a letter to ask for guilt, and the foolish brother will help from it, so that the Son of Heaven will not blame. ”

"At the beginning, very few people know about it, if my father and brother don't say it, I don't say it, Liu Xianzhang doesn't say it, where will others say it?" Qiao Xingjian shook his head, unwilling to dwell on this matter anymore: "Brother Rong, I don't want to go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, this time my brother came to the Guozijian, I think he has some advice?" ”

"It's just that I feel a little bit in my heart, so I came to discuss with my virtuous brother, Ge Hong squinted his eyes slightly."

Qiao Xingjian's words, in fact, already carried the meaning of threat, he was aware of the matter of instructing Hua Yue to assassinate Zhao Heju, who was still the heir of King Yi, although it was mainly aimed at Shi Miyuan at the beginning, but after all, it still threatened the life of the Son of Heaven, if it was really investigated, Liu Fu and Qiao Xingjian could not get out, and he Ge Hong would inevitably be questioned.
