After arranging these things, Cai Dao postponed the inspection of the barren mountain pasture, brought fine wine and new tea, and took people to personally visit the patriarch of the Cai family, Cai Xuan.

Cai Dao and the Cai family have fallen out now, and it is the right thing to visit Cai Xuan. Moreover, in this place of Xianyou County, it is more appropriate for the patriarch to come forward. What's more, building a temple is not a trivial matter, if you can invite your parents, Wang Gong, to preside over it, the effect will be even better.

He heard that Cai Xuan and Wang Gong got along very well, so he came forward to persuade Cai Xuan and asked the patriarch to persuade Wang Gong.

When he came to Xianyou County, as soon as Cai Xuan heard that Cai Dao was visiting, he opened the middle door to greet this little clan brother in person.

The two came to the living room, sat down as guests, and Cai Xuan first asked Cai Dao about his entry into Beijing, and he answered briefly.

After greeting enthusiastically, Cai Dao launched the second-level skillful tongue and began a tirade.

……

As soon as he heard that Cai Dao was almost assassinated, Cai Xuan couldn't help but sigh: "Since the official family changed the law, there has been chaos in the DPRK and China, and Wang Anli actually let the petty people go in order to show off his ability, which is really hateful. Also, that Liu Miao, you have no grudges with him in the past and no enmity in the near future, but you whimsically punish you with the words of a street gangster, what a blame! ”

Cai Xuan has always disliked talking about government affairs, and it is not easy to say this in front of Cai Dao.

Cai Dao nodded and said approvingly: "Alas! Yes! My grandfather's idea of changing the law to become strong is good, but he is stubborn and does not listen to people, and he does not know people, so it is inevitable that the law change will fail. What's more, his old man can't even convince his own relatives, let alone others? As for those who are accustomed to tricks, they can't hide the eyes of the officials. The younger brother came back this time to prepare some means to save his life. ”

Regarding the matter of changing the law, Cai Dao has his own ideas,

Wang Anshi was greedy for perfection and improper use of people, even if he himself was ignorant of the new law he had promulgated. The reformers are even more competing for power and profit, and it is not surprising that the reform failed.

"Brother Xian, it seems that you have benefited a lot from entering Beijing this time!" Cai Xuan now didn't dare to underestimate this doll that was much smaller than his son, and exclaimed.

Cai Dao had something to say in his heart, but he was a little hesitant and didn't know how to speak, so he deliberately showed this look on his face.

Cai Xuan saw it, so he asked: "What difficulties does Brother Xian have, you might as well say it, Brother Clan, I can also give you a detailed explanation?" ”

Cai Dao immediately put on a straight face, his expression was serious, and said, "Since this is the case, please forgive my brother for being bold." Brother, in the midst of such a change, you are still sitting at home. Do you really plan to stop being an official for the rest of your life?

Mencius said: 'The gentleman's ze, the fifth generation and beheaded'. Xianweng has been in three dynasties, and now the old people under him died in the past, and a few newcomers in the court still remember Xianweng!

Don't talk about it from afar, just talk about the county order of the county. Speaking of which, he is also the grandson of Wang Dan, the famous minister of the Zhenzong Dynasty, and his father and uncle are also officials in the court. At the time of the Wutai poetry case, how many people interceded for him? But why was he demoted to Pennsylvania alone?

Brother, when you heard that you were friendly with him, didn't you think about the reason? ”

"This ......" After Cai Xuan heard Cai Dao's words, he began to feel that this doll was making a big fuss, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt that his situation was indeed extremely similar to Wang Gong's current situation.

You must know that Wang Gong's uncle Wang Su is still an important minister of the Shenzong Dynasty, but he ended up like this. Song Shenzong is alive and can say that when the new emperor ascends the throne, if he is involved in any turmoil, who will come forward to protect him?

Cai Dao saw that the heat was almost over, so he continued: "Brother, of course, Bianliang is a big whirlpool now, and it is not a good strategy to enter the court and become an official. If you are the governor of the state capital close to the capital, it will be easy for you to achieve results with your ability. Today's prime minister is either Han or Lu. Whether it is the current official family or the new emperor, they all want to break this pattern. At that time, if you see the right time to enter Beijing, it will not be delusional to become the ruling power. ”

Cai Xuan was moved by Cai Dao's heart, but he was already in his forties, and he only went out to be an official now, and if he became a county magistrate, he would really lose face, so he asked: "Brother Xian's idea is good, but Brother Wei has never been an official." Even if you look at the face of your father, it is impossible for the official family to let Brother Wei be the chief official of the state capital! ”

He also knew that Cai Dao was now a big celebrity in front of Song Shenzong, so he asked this question.

Cai Dao then said the coming Yizi carefully, and at the end, he said: "Brother, although this matter is small, it is also a great merit, if you can convince Wang County Order, it will be better." By the way, this year is still a big year, you can also follow the example of Fu Bi and Fu Gong and enter Beijing to participate in the system, presumably the official family will look at the face of the ancestors......"

He didn't finish his words, but Cai Xuan understood psychologically that what was the result of the non-control department, Song Shenzong would definitely look at Cai Xiang's face and give him the same Jinshi background. As Cai Dao said, there is nothing to be ashamed of, didn't the former Prime Minister Fubi do the same?

Cai Xuan replied angrily: "Brother Xian! If you can think like this, it means that you have really learned a lot when you come to Beijing this time. Xian Weng often said that fame is sometimes a benefit, and sometimes it is a shackle. You're still young, and you're carrying too much fame, and it's not good for you! Now it is a good idea to be able to disperse it from the body in a timely manner! In this matter, my brother should help each other. It's not as good as this, if the two temples are to be built in Xiaoci, can they also be built in Xianyou County? ”

"Thank you, brother!" Cai Dao hurriedly stood up and sang a big fat promise.

"Virtuous brother doesn't need to be polite!" Cai Xuan also got up and arched his hand, and when he sat down, he muttered, "Alas! I just don't know if the official family will send Brother Wei there to be an official! ”

seems to be unintentional, but it is actually a test of Cai Dao. This doll instigated himself to go out and become an official, I don't know if it was entrusted by anyone, or his own ideas.

Cai Dao has always wanted to find some political allies, but unfortunately, he has now separated from the Cai family. The possibility of Cai Jing and Cai Bian, as well as his brothers becoming his allies, has been greatly reduced, so he wants to provoke Cai Xuan out of the mountain. It was the first natural ally he could think of today.

Therefore, he made his plans and plans out.

"Naturally, it is Guanzhong, and the official family must choose a good place for the clan brother. However, the good land is not an easy place to produce results.

Since the Han and Tang dynasties, Guanzhong has no longer been the fertile soil before, and the Western Xia has invaded our Great Song Dynasty year after year. As a result, Guanzhong has always been able to purchase grain from other places to make up for the loss of military rations. At the beginning, there was still Shiomasa supporting it. But now, the salt government is corrupt, and the green salt in Western Xia is much cheaper than the official salt. Therefore, the grain transported to Guanzhong is getting less and less, and the consumption on the way is very large, and the gap in Guanzhong will only get bigger and bigger.

Once the younger brother succeeds in the experimental field of Jingshi, the first trial site will inevitably choose Guanzhong first. Before the younger brother left Beijing, he had already said that he had moved the old man Sun Jue to serve as the transfer envoy of Shaanxi Road. If you go, you don't have to face the Xixia people, even if you can't be the prefect of Jingzhao Mansion, you can still make a judgment. You have also seen that the little brother's sister-in-law in the experimental field in Xiaoci is very significant, and the bumper harvest in Guanzhong is just around the corner! ”

When he left Beijing, he did encourage Sun Jue to leave Beijing, but now that he is staying in Beijing, he can't do much practical things except for falling into endless party strife. It is better to take this opportunity to face the difficulties and do more practical things for the people in Guanzhong.

After the founding of the Song Dynasty, the Yellow River burst its banks almost every year, which was a huge threat to Bianliang in Tokyo.

How to control the Yellow River has always been a dead knot in the hearts of successive emperors.

Cai Dao pretended to be his master and told himself, 'Governing the Yellow River first and controlling the Wei first', as long as the sediment of the Yellow River comes from the Loess Plateau.

In order to restore the fertile soil of the 800-mile Qinchuan River, it is also necessary to control the three major rivers of the Guanzhong Plain - the Wei River, the Jing River and the Beiluo River.

Cai Daoxiang Sun Jue recommended the only two big bulls he remembered now and who are now adults - Zong Ze and Zhang Shuye. The two of them went to govern the Jing River and the Wei River, and they were the best candidates.

There is only one Beiluo River left, and Cai Dao plans to recommend Cai Xuan. Therefore, this time I came to test Cai Xuan's thoughts. If he really just wanted to be an idle cloud wild crane, Cai Dao would not be embarrassed by this clan brother who treated him well.
