Chapter 250: The Book of Soldiers
It wasn't until the bright moon rose in the east that Li Zhongtan was so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back, and Feng Shiyuan returned home with grace. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
When he arrived at the pavilion, Li Zhongtan got up and saluted, Feng Shiyuan waved his hand and said, "Mr. Li can go back." Tomorrow the high thihar will come back to you, and give him the money, and remember that the money is ten percent off. ”
Seeing that Feng Shiyuan was full of alcohol, Li Zhongtan was unhappy, but he didn't show it at all on his face, and asked, "Is Nati Shi reliable?" I don't know how much money I can give him? Are there any risks? ”
Feng Shiyuan thought for a while and said, "If it's less than a thousand, you can give it to him." After that, they came to ask me. Also, remember to ask him to repay the interest every month, and the capital will also be spread into the profit money, and it will be paid off in six months. If you violate the limit, no matter how much it is worse, report it to me! ”
Li Zhongtan knew in his heart that Feng Shiyuan must have negotiated with the people behind Gao Tizhi, otherwise a Tizhi would not even be worth a thousand yuan if he sold his bones. He was hungry and did not dwell on it, so he took his leave.
Out of Feng's Mansion, I hurried along the path, and while it was not too late, I went out of the inner city from Baokang Gate.
Walk not far to the edge of the Cai River, at this time the lights are on, the avenue is full of people, noisy and lively. Li Zhongtan stood with the big willow tree by the river, looking at the people of the capital who were calling their children and daughters not far away, he was stunned for a while, and sighed: "Li Mou has always boasted of being a hero, with a great future, but he doesn't want to be called by a servant now, just like a servant, how to see the ancestors and ancestors under the nine springs in the future!" Endure a few days, earn some money in hand, and don't look for a way out! ”
Outside the city, the lotus flowers in the pool next to it are blooming, and the trees on the hill are lush, surging with the breeze.
In the shade of the big tree by the pool, Xu Ping put down the manuscript in his hand and said to Song Qi on the side: "This is Li Jing's "Rich Country and Security Policy", although it is not perfect, but it is enough to make up for the omission of the original book. At that time, the compilation of the book was in a hurry, and there were many officials involved, and there were inevitably various shortcomings in "The Policy of Enriching the Country and the People", such as mistakes and omissions, inconsistencies, or the narrative was too brief. Li Jing's note is to make up for the lack at that time. ”
Song Qi took the book and said: "Li Taibo has solid knowledge, and he was by the side of the provincial lord at that time, so it is most suitable for him to make notes." ”
Xu Ping said: "Li Jing's knowledge has no problem, but he is good at academics and has quite a lack of practical skills. In the end, I have only been a county magistrate for a few years, and my vision is still insufficient. Up to now, the new policy of the imperial court has also been implemented for a few months, the good places, the bad places, everyone sees them, and then look back at the "Rich Country and Security Policy", when there are different ideas. You judge the pavilion, if you have time, you can organize the pavilion officials, and let's note this book together. ”
Song Qi hesitated for a moment before he said, "Does the provincial lord think that Li Taibo's note is still insufficient?" ”
"Thousands of people, the same thing, in the eyes of different people, is different. Li Jing is just a family's words, and there are always shortcomings. Zijing, this "Rich Country and Security Policy" is the program of the new policy of the imperial court, and naturally the more detailed the explanation, the better. The pavilion organization makes annotations, which is to gather the strengths of everyone and express their own opinions. Now that the pavilion is full of talents, it is time to do a few such big things. If possible, there is no need to force the same opinion, and if there is a difference in opinion on the same thing, it will be listed together for the reference of those who use it. Right and wrong, only when things are done can everyone understand clearly. ”
Song Qi said: "What the provincial lord said is also reasonable, but this kind of major event must be promoted by important ministers." ”
"It's nature. You first talk to the officials of the pavilion, and if everyone does not object, I will play it, and ask one of the people in the government to raise it, and the pavilion personnel will revise it. This matter has a lot of benefits to the imperial court, and it can be done nine times out of ten. ”
Song Qi put away Li Jing's notebook, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll ask everyone what the provincial lord means." ”
Xu Ping said: "Recently, the northwest has been restless, and there are many officials who have written about the army, and the imperial court intends to compile a military book to summarize the gains and losses of the military administration of the previous dynasties. Although the matter has not yet been decided, it is imperative. This kind of major event naturally requires the contribution of pavilion officials, and you have to allocate manpower and don't make things conflict. ”
Song Qi also had rumors about this matter, and agreed to it one by one. With Fan Zhongyan being demoted, Ouyang Xiu and others being demoted out of the capital, the pavilion has made up for a lot of people to enter, and there are enough people. At this time, the main work of the pavilion was to organize the collection of the three pavilions and the secret pavilion from the first year of Jingyu, and compile the bibliography. This matter was originally raised by Zhang Guan, Li Shu and Song Qi, at this time Li Shu had already gone to the local office, Zhang Guan was appointed as the middle of the imperial history, and the real presiding officer was Song Qi, who was also the judge of the pavilion. This set of books is the "Chongwen General Catalogue" that has a far-reaching impact on later generations, whether it is war or fire, the lack of books in the national collection is made up by this bibliography.
This is a long-term work, not an overnight effort, and it is a waste for all the pavilion officials to focus their energy on it. With the introduction of the new policy, the court officials have a deeper understanding of the "Rich Country and Security Policy", and some people also have different opinions, it is time to carry out further work. To occupy the ideological high ground, it is not necessary to rely on this set of books to make everything well, but to go all the way down, and annotations are a way to deepen understanding.
Pinch your nose and pour it hard, and the elixir will also turn into poison, and the effect is counterproductive. Xu Ping's approach is to involve as many officials as possible, whether for or against, to let them fully express their opinions and test them in practice. And the pavilion in the place where the imperial court cultivates materials is undoubtedly the most suitable for doing this. Don't look at the current official positions of the pavilion officials are inconspicuous, ten or twenty years later, it will be these people who will control the government, and it will be effective at that time.
As for the military book, it was Xu Ping's foreshadowing in order to reform the military and politics in the future, and he first mobilized public opinion.
The one who pushed this matter the most was Xu Ping himself, and the second was Xia Zhu, a scholar from Hanlin. Xia Zhuwen is outstanding, and in all respects, he has a bit of a shadow of Ding Wei, but he doesn't have the means and ability of Ding Wei. Xia Zhu, who had a keen mind, felt that there would be a war in the northwest in the future, and he was not good at fighting, but his ability to grasp political opportunities was outstanding. Because he stood on the wrong side during the Tiansheng period, Xia Zhu was quite excluded after Zhao Zhen's pro-government, and he regarded the Northwest incident as an opportunity for him to make a comeback. Therefore, at this time, Xia Zhu desperately advocated strengthening troops in the northwest, and the imperial court attached great importance to military equipment.
It sounds funny that civilian officials should revise the military book, but in fact it can only be so. The high-level generals in the forbidden army are not as good as civilian officials when it comes to military strategy, and some of the middle and lower-level generals are illiterate, so they can't cultivate it. Civilian officials are talking on paper, but the problem is that the generals of the forbidden army don't even have the ability to talk about soldiers on paper. Among the three marshals, Li Yonghe is now the most reliable one, he has been promoted from a county inspector to a general in charge of the army in a few years, and he knows what military strategy is.
The so-called military repair book is just a pile of old papers, and it is very good to be able to sort out the military system of previous dynasties. Thinking that such a book could guide the war, I didn't think about it, and the compiled military book was not for that purpose. Since the time of Taizong, the military books left by the previous dynasties have been listed as forbidden books, and even the kings such as "Sun Tzu", "Liutao", and "Wei Yuzi" have given them to the generals, and the rest can be imagined. In this era, the tradition of military writing was actually basically cut off, and with the current military system of the forbidden army, the use of military books in ancient times was also limited. In the past, the military book was a combination of state affairs and military affairs, which was completely different from the current military system.
