Chapter 3237 Choose Carrot or Knife Book

Dong Bi was stunned, and when he woke up and found that Zhao Xing was staring at him, Dong Bi hurriedly replied: "I know!" This song book has many names, but it is all about the scene of the next battle between Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, and the overlord of Chu.

At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the Persian pipa had just been introduced to the Tang Dynasty, and Bai Juyi described this song book in "Pipa Xing", at that time, this music book was called "Huaiyang Pingchu", with a total of 18 paragraphs. Later, this song book was also called "Chu Han", and at this time it had fifteen paragraphs. Later, when the book was called "Ten Sides" or "Ambush on Ten Sides", only ten paragraphs remained. ”

Zhao Xing sat up dumbly and wrote: "Oh, there is still such a saying? With that said, all I'm hearing now is an incomplete track, at least half of which has been lost. ”

Zhao Xing didn't talk to Dong Bi about Qiongzhou Island, which made Dong Bi very happy, and he talked eloquently: "It can't be said that half of this song book has been lost, the segmentation method of the ancients' repertoire is different from now, and the eighteen sections of the ancient songs may be similar to the current thirteen paragraphs." Moreover, in Persia, the pipa was played by men, and when it was introduced to the Central Plains, it was mostly played by women. It can be seen from the Dunhuang murals that the Tang people like to let Nüshu play the pipa.

This song is strong and intense, and it takes a lot of physical strength to play, and the finger picking technique is very laborious. Eighteen pieces of music are played, and for Nüshu, I am afraid that my physical strength is not enough. Therefore, later generations have also made some cuts, and after the cuts, this track is even more compact and exciting than the original track. ”

Zhao Xing clapped his hands and replied: "That's right, I have always believed that the most valuable thing about civilization is its creativity." For example, why the Great Wall makes people feel awe-inspiring, it is not the broken and broken city wall, which makes people awe-inspired. It's the creative power to build the Great Wall.

In the same way, the Kaifeng Iron Tower is towering and towering, which makes people feel broad at first sight, but is Boda the tower of bricks and stones---- no, it is the creativity of building this tower.

The ancient pipa is good, Bai Juyi has appreciated, but the downsizing of it. It's more about creativity. Only creation. That's brilliant. ”

Dong Bi didn't know why Zhao Xing said this, he agreed unexpectedly: "That's that!" ”

Zhao Xing nodded, and then said: "This year, I swept the natives in the Nanyang area. It is said that the Natives of the South Seas have a longer history of migrating from Africa than we do, but the reason why they can only be our slaves is because they lack creativity.

Now. Wa Kingdom, Goryeo, Cochin, Boni...... I can give you a long list of such countries. The reason why they all prostrate at our feet and have reverence for our Emperor Song ---- I tell you is because of our creativity that amazes them. ”

Dong Bi still didn't understand what Zhao Xing wanted to say, he rolled his eyes hesitantly, Wang Ying in the room drooped his head unhappily, Wan Qiyong picked up the seal ribbon from Zhao Xing's desk with a smile, and stamped the official appointment letter one by one, Zhao Xing didn't glance at Wan Qiyong's actions out of the corner of his eyes. And at the door of the big bar, there is a black iron tower Hanshu. is squinting lazily. Bar outside. A few people waiting were standing and listening intently to the speech in the big bar.

Zhao Xing sighed and continued, "What have we created? Let me take stock of ---- Kaifeng Tower. There are "Five Horses", silk, tea, and fine porcelain; In the law, we have the amazing "Heavenly Decree" to free slaves, there is an accounting law, there is a copyright law; Technically, there are water transport instrument elephant platforms, keel waterwheels, and legal candles (matches), and there are also administrative means of government procurement---- the Tooth Merchant Bidding Law.

Look at our glory, our official and civilian welfare will make the people and officials of the Qin, Han and Tang dynasties cry to death with jealousy; Our free medical care will make the herdsmen on the grassland desperate to grab the land; We enjoy the holidays and will make the whole planet drool; Our support for the elderly and children will make the people of other countries cry and shout that they want to be the Great Song Dynasty; The power enjoyed by our people in the Great Song Dynasty will make the future slave kingdom curse us for being too weak and evil to the people......

This is Da Song, and, more, there are many benefits that I can't say.

It was a gorgeous era when officials and ordinary people had complete freedom of speech, and they could engage in any profession without worrying about government robbery. Think about all this in front of you, how gorgeous! How brilliant! What a culmination---- although it is also a little unsatisfactory, but an unomitted social fact is just that, good and bad, complete and ordinary. ==STARTER==

Now, with a little effort, we can make it a thousand years ahead of the world. Why, why are you ruining all this? Is it because someone else is different from your party?

Why did my Great Song Dynasty achieve the glory of the past, Taizu inherited the mandate of heaven, but he only went to it (five generations) or even (legal malpractices), and most of the other decrees and regulations were still the same. Didn't the law of the ancestors say: to prevent malpractice, for the law of the country---- the main purpose of the three: to promote culture, education, and suppress military affairs, not to prohibit speech, and not to kill scholars.

Wang Jinggong said that he wanted to change the law, saying that the law of the ancestors was not fearful, so it was going to be destroyed, so what law did he want to establish so that future generations could abide by it? Anyone who does things is mostly the first to set up an outline, and other content (according to the outline) can be caused by the cause, which is a heroic means (Zhu Xi's words are in quotation marks in this sentence). What is the new law established by Wang Jinggong, the new outline?

No, he doesn't care about any principles, he doesn't care about heaven and earth, ghosts and gods, ordinary people, ancestors and kings. In order to show that they are changing the law, in order to crack down on those who disagree, everything that is in favor of those who oppose it, everything that has been created by people in the past, is destroying the category.

Is it his law that because he is different from his own party, he should raise his sword and kill his own compatriots?

I also know that the world needs change, but the world needs creativity, not destruction. Change, it should be the renewal of creativity, not the destruction of the old. You, including Wang Jinggong, are a bunch of guys who take destruction as their own responsibility, what have you created? You have broken all the rules, there is no reverence in your hearts, and you have created thousands of miles of displaced people, man-made disasters are rampant, and the people are crying and displaced, all crying out for justice? Isn't that enough?

Today, we despise Nanyang slaves because of their lack of creativity. When we lose our creativity, will the Goryeo, Wa, and Cochin people still look up to us like they do now? No, they will despise us as we despise the Nanyang slaves today. But because of party reasons, you have banned the general knowledge of governance, the water transport instrument and elephant platform, the accounting law, and all the creations of the old party, what have you created?

Our civilization has lost its creativity. What will be left? All that remains is the search for chapters and sentences. Tell people what the ancient sages said, you can't violate it---- this is not civilization, but repeating the past. And what you unruly people say about the ancient sages is often the theory that you have tampered with and that suits your own desires! ”

What Zhao Xing said was too far away and too profound, Wang Ying and Dong Bi didn't understand, and they couldn't understand it. Because there is no compromise in their worldview. Only "against what the enemy approves of." In favor of the concept of struggle that the enemy opposes, hearing that Zhao Xing, who was holding their lives in his hands, and their respected teacher Wang Anshi, Dong Bi's first thought was to be angry.

If this was in the capital, Dong Bi would have already jumped up and shouted at a group of fellow party members to come forward and kill Zhao Xing...... But this is in Guangdong, and it is not certain who will fight whom.

Moreover, the new party pays attention to obedience in its culture, and Zhao Xing is the lord of Guangdong, so should he be at odds with the chief official...... It seems that Wang Ying's knowledge does not allow this!

Wang Ying was still hesitating, and Zhao Xing would not wait for him to react before talking. He didn't let Wang Ying say more. He casually threw away a copy of the Di Bao and said with a smile: "This is the nearest Di Bao." Look at it, what was said above is very interesting---- for example, Zhang returned to Huanqing and began to relaunch a counterattack on Western Xia; Zhang Cheng, the second general of Huanqing, broke into the territory of Western Xia to investigate, and encountered a large Xia army on the road, so he retreated slowly without hurrying...... Also, since the autumn of the Hedong Road Palace, more than 2,000 Western Xia Jin soldiers have been killed in just three months. ”

Dong Bi stayed in Guangxi, the imperial palace newspaper had not been touched for a long time, he flipped twice, stopped, glared at Zhao Xing, thinking about how to fight back, Zhao Xing waved his hand and ordered the servant: "Report to Dong Cha to visit and move the mansion, move the mansion newspaper in the past two years, and also move the "Zizhi Tongjian". ”

Sima Guang's "Zizhi Tongjian" is also among the bans, Dong Bi's face changed, and he was about to refute it, Zhao Xing had already held the book and said slowly: "Dong Chayu, you can read it carefully, this "Zizhi Tongjian", this newspaper, can there be news of my Guangnan?" ”

Dong Bi was already being dragged around by Zhao Xing, he didn't know the meaning of Zhao Xing's question, he was just thinking hard. Wang Ying seemed to have had the experience of being destroyed by Zhao Xing, he rolled his eyes, and said in a strange way: "The task assigned to the lower officials by the adults, the lower officials have already completed the ---- on the "Zizhi Tongjian", and only one piece of news from Guangnan can be found on more than a hundred pages, but there are only a few words at a time. \\\ First 78.com\\\ Di newspaper, there has only been one news in Guangnan in the past two years, that is, the news that adults have encountered pirates and broke into the Champa country to arrest thieves. ”

Zhao Xing nodded, and reminded meaningfully: "Two visits, why Guangnan is a remote place, this is the reason." Only after turning more than 100 pages on the "Zizhi Tongjian" can I find a piece of news from Guangnan, and for two consecutive years, only a word of gossip was mentioned in the Di newspaper. What's big in Quang Nam, no one cares! ”

Dong Bi understood this sentence, this is a threat.

Zhao Xing is nakedly threatening these two people.

Soon after arriving in Guangnan, Dong Bi had already discovered a strange phenomenon, the legend of the fierce people in the Liangguang area, almost no bandits could be found, and the sea was even more strange, the great Song merchant ships that came and went showed off their might, not to mention pirates, even the seabirds did not dare to provoke the Song ships. Because the restrictions on deadly weapons such as bed crossbows on Song ships have begun to be lifted, and those Song ships have no one to provoke, and they still shoot flocks of crossbow arrows from time to time to train the range, how can there be seabirds to rest?

And thinking about it deeply, it is even more surprising that the pirates came to Lingding Yangkou to provoke Zhao Xing.

After the fright of Hainan Island, Dong Bi already knew that the biggest pirate in Guangzhou was the envoy in front of him, and he was the pirate leader of the entire South China Seas...... However, this matter is a matter of joy for everyone when the court takes money. If the imperial court did not admit the existence of pirates in the sea of Guangzhou, it meant that Zhao Xing's reason for attacking the Zhancheng State did not exist, and then the imperial court needed to spit out the treasures of the Zhancheng State again and return them to the Renbin Tong King, which the imperial court refused to kill.

In this way, even if Dong Bi, the visiting envoy, encountered pirates at the door of Guangzhou, the imperial court could only pinch his nose and admit it. And in order to keep in line with the imperial court, he could only grit his teeth and admit that Guangdong had indeed been attacked by pirates. Thereupon. If he didn't follow Zhao Xing's wishes, he was sunk by the "pirates" on the boat, and he would have nowhere to go to redress his grievances.

Just now, Zhao Xing talked about another threat: Guangzhou is a legendary miasma land, and due to the delay in information transmission, the imperial court has never paid much attention to the situation here, as evidenced by the disregard for Guangnan in the Di Bao and Zizhi Tongjian. It was these two officials who died in office. The imperial court would consider it an ordinary death. Even the Di newspaper disdains to publish it, and the history books will not pay attention to it.

As long as Zhao Xing provides taxes to the imperial court normally every year, the imperial court will be as usual. Completely ignore the big and small events that take place on this "land of fingers".

The most terrible thing in life is that life and death are ignored and forgotten.

Dong Bi was still pondering, and Wang Ying was unwilling to shout in her heart: "The old party, Zhao Liren is definitely an old party." In vain, the ministers of the imperial court kept talking about him, believing that he did not forget to reform when the old party gained power, and that he was the southern banner of the new party. It turned out that his bone book was an old party. He scolded Wang Jinggong. Scolding Wang Jinggong for being a pig! …… Me, what should I do? ”

Wang Ying thought of this, and her mouth was bitter--- Zhao Xing is a cadre of the new party! Who said that? It is now the leader of the New Party. The conclusion of the negation chapter is the negation of the new party, can the new party allow it?

It only took a moment for Wang Ying to figure it out, he raised his eyes to look at Dong Bi, and found that Dong Bi's eyes were full of despair, he was dressed and arched his hands. said: "It seems that Lord Zhao will not allow me to live." That's why he said such heavy words to me, that even the eyes that had been hidden from the ground were exposed. That being the case, and allowing the official to change his clothes and bathe. ”

A sneer appeared at the corner of Zhao Xing's mouth, there will be only one ---- in the new party who is not afraid of death, this is recorded in history. History records that when the Jin soldiers invaded Bianliang City, the New Party in the city was all surrendered faction, and only one resolutely resisted, but that person was definitely not Dong Bi.

Zhao Xing picked up a book from the table, threw it in front of Dong Bi, hugged the book and said: "This is the "Transcendent Collection", written by my teacher Po Gong, according to you, which poem in it cannot be passed down through the ages?" ”

Dong Bi didn't pick up the book, and said with a stalk around his neck: "I have always admired Su Gongdi's poetry, but I didn't say it......"

Zhao Xing asked urgently: "Will history ignore such talent, poetry, and creativity like my teacher?" ”

Dong Bi choked on the book, he understood the meaning of Zhao Xing's question, and cold sweat gradually broke out from his forehead.

What Zhao Xing means is: history will never ignore a talented poet like Su Shi, and when history records Su Dongpo's life, Dong Bi's behavior and all the persecution of Su Dongpo must be recorded. In this way, he drove Su Dongpo out of the Changhua military quarters, but instead wrote himself into history, and wrote it into history in the form of a clown.

History will never ignore Su Dongpo, Liu Yong was poor all his life, but his talent makes people unable to forget, and history remembers this poet. And Su Dongpo, a bachelor of Hanlin who has served several terms as a scholar and a local official, will not be forgotten in history.

What do readers crave most, what they desire is to leave a name in history, this name is to leave a good name rather than an infamy, Dong Bi and Wang Ying originally wanted to please the people in power, and they put themselves in an embarrassing situation without paying attention......

Zhao Xing smiled coldly and continued: "Wenxun probably told you, I Guangnan just made a lot of money, let me make an agreement for you, what you should say and what you shouldn't say will turn a blind eye, I will allow you to spend a free time in Guangnan, otherwise, I will turn my face and not recognize people." ”

After serving, the two visiting envoys are now completely convinced.

Zhao Xing was holding a carrot in one hand and a big stick in the other----No, he was holding a bright knife book, which made people choose between carrots and knife books.

Stupid books choose knife books!

The literati are so famous, if they are upright and can leave a good name in the history books, then the two of them still have the idea of fighting together, betting on whether Zhao Xing dares to rebel. But Zhao Xing has now clearly told the two that he crushed these two officials as easily as an ant, and their deaths were worthless, and if they didn't get it, they would leave an infamy in history.

That's not good.

At this point, the two visits convinced---- so that in the Guangnan area, Zhao Xing's warlord era also kicked off. After that, the officials of Guangnan were submissive to Zhao Xing, and the surveillance officials sent by the imperial court were repeatedly replaced, but they were knocked down by sugar-coated shells within a few days of coming to Guangnan. Began to speak in Quang Nam's accent.

The two envoys resigned, and repeatedly assured Zhao Xing that all the pieces he submitted to the imperial court would be presented to Zhao Xing for inspection, and also said that it was best for Zhao Xing to arrange candidates for the official office of the visiting department and form a yamen......

After they stepped back, Wan Qiyong finished stamping the official seal. Presented to Zhao Xing: "This time we have replaced thirty-one county officials. In addition to last year, 70% of the county officials, county officials, county lieutenants, and chief bookkeepers in Guangdong were selected by us. The remaining 30% are also people who listen to us. ”

Zhao Xing nodded and replied: "As long as we improve the grassroots organization in Guangdong." No matter how the state officials are replaced, it has nothing to do with the overall situation. This is the place where the shooting is made, and the county officials can only choose from the local area, and control the grassroots in our hands, no matter how tossed from above. Guangdong is ours. ”

Wan Qiyong looked to the south. Very greedily added: "Here is Guangxi." ”

Zhao Xing sighed: "The situation in Zhenla is not optimistic, there is information that the royal city of Zhenla---- the Great Angkor city wall stretches for fifteen (gong) miles, the stone wall is seventeen meters high, and each city gate has a five-fold stone gate. ”

After Zhao Xing's repeated efforts in Guangdong, only 20,000 soldiers have been scraped together so far. Of these, 12 thousand are distributed in the naval army. His demon army has only managed more than 2,000 horses and about 6,000 auxiliaries. With this kind of force, Zhao Xing couldn't afford to attack a majestic city wall with a five-fold stone gate.

Wan Qiyong chuckled: "Isn't that better?" In the short term, we just turned our target to Dali, and tempted Zhang Li with Dali's military exploits, and he will definitely allow us to meddle in Guangxi. ”

According to the military system of the Song Dynasty, once a general has made military merits abroad, in order to prevent him from supporting the army and self-respecting, the imperial court will immediately transfer him back to the capital and give him an idle post to raise him. If Zhang Li makes a contribution to expanding the territory, he will leave Guangxi. Therefore, as long as the temptation is enough, Zhang Licai does not care who appoints the officials in Guangxi.

Zhao Xing nodded in agreement with Wan Qianyong's words, and asked again: "The big bell tower we built in Shanyan Mansion (Kunming) should also be completed, right?" ”

Wan Qianyong replied: "Next year's New Year's Day (Spring Festival) is officially consecrated, and the first disciple of Ansida is invited to hold the consecration ceremony, and I plan to ring the bronze bell on the day of the New Year's Day, so that the entire Shanyi Mansion can hear the bell of my Great Song Dynasty...... It's a pity that in order to transport the bell from Guangnan to Shanyan, we spent a million yuan just to build that road. Zhao Xing asked with a smile: "If it weren't for the transportation of the bronze bell, do you guess Dali would let us go deep into their territory to build roads---- this is the Song Dynasty version of the Trojan Horse Plan, do you know the Trojan Horse?" I'll tell you a story......"

After Zhao Xing finished telling the story, Wan Qianyong clapped his hands and admired: "I understand, this road is also our local march route, with this road, our local army can go straight to Shanyan Mansion ......"

Zhao Xing added with a smile: "It should be said that we can go hand in hand by land and water and go straight to the Shanyan Mansion." When the time comes, we will go together on land and water, and the two armies will take care of each other, and we can even assemble in the open sea and break into Dali from the Zhenla area. ”

"Then what are you waiting for", Shuai Fan's voice came from outside the door, and he drove away the tribute soldiers who were gathered around the door as he entered the door: "Go, what are you doing by blocking the door, come and write down their names and surnames, if today's news spreads, ask for them." ”

Driving away the group of students, Shuai Fan said as he entered the door: "Our musket team has been trained into soldiers, with a total of 1,500 people, including 500 Yi people, 1,000 Guangnan people, and 7,000 auxiliary troops---- just try their hand in Dali, hurry up and start creating public opinion." ”

Wan Qiyong added with a smile: "Dali people are now well-behaved like cats, how can they provoke us?" ”

Shuai Fan rolled his eyes: "You don't have the means to reverse black and white, and you haven't done the means of making things out of nothing, isn't it a precedent for the Cham country?" Hurry up, just take the weak Dali to try your skills. ”

Wan Qianyong shook his head and said: "Don't worry, for two consecutive years, the people who have been reclaimed will return to their hometowns freely, and this winter has a very good omen, and the number of people who have come to settle in Guangdong has reached 200,000 in just one month, and if this momentum continues, there will be 2 million, or even 3 million people in Guangdong next year." With the abundance of Guangdong, we can afford to raise another 10,000 troops, and our troops will be more abundant at that time. ”

Shuai Fan nodded and replied: "I think so, we have allowed those people to return to their hometowns freely for two consecutive years, and the wages given by Guangdong are high, and the land they have reclaimed belongs to them again, and the people have returned to their hometowns, and the land cannot go, and they will have to come back to take care of their land after all." Although the local complex of the common people is heavier, the land complex is heavier. Possessing ten pours of fertile land, even if they themselves do not want it, will transfer relatives and friends. After all, their relatives and friends will have to drag their families and families to reclaim the wasteland.

In this way, the people who reclaim the land are like snowballs, rolling more and more, and when the population increases, we will prosper. ”

Shuai Fan changed the topic, and added: "But I can't wait, we can settle Dali as soon as possible, we can stabilize the interior as soon as possible, a country that believes in Buddhism, the people and soldiers are superstitious and can't kill, what combat effectiveness does such a country have, if it is planned, we can take over his royal city in one fell swoop." ”

Zhao Xing clapped his hands and said: "Then what are you waiting for, let's plan well, directly take his royal city, and then send the king of Dali to the capital, and then throw the seized things to the imperial court, so that if you see what the imperial court will do, he will not send the king of Dali back to Dali and re-ascend the throne." ”

Now Dali is in the extreme conflict between Hinduism and Buddhism, the power of the minister and the old king Duan, its control over the southern region is very weak, and the Song people at that time did not classify the southern part of Dali as Dali, and called it "Southwest Yi" alone. In the original history, not long after, a Hindu believer established a new country in the southern part of Dali, which is now Xishuangbanna and Laos, called Jinglong Jindian Kingdom.

Originally, because of the turmoil in the south of Dali and the special situation, Zhao Xingcai planned to blitz the Shanyan Mansion, but now that Shuai Fan is determined to take the royal capital of Dali, Zhao Xing's appetite will inevitably be great......

PS: Mr. Liang Fangzhong, an economic historian, said in his book "The Changes of Chinese Weights and Measures in Past Dynasties and Their Characteristics of the Times": Since the Han Dynasty, the (official) calculation of length in all dynasties has been above the ruler and up to the zhang. It was not until the 34th year of Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty (1908) that when the weights and measures system was redefined, it was clearly stipulated that the "li" system was established outside the ruler. Therefore, the Chinese "li" as a unit of length for calculating roads, etc., was established very late in the system. Before the 34th year of Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty, "li" was only added by later generations when they wrote history, and Zhao Xing put forward the concept of "li" in the Song Dynasty, which was purely yy
