The negotiations between the Cultural Revolution and Zhe Congruan have been completely concluded, and as for the behind-the-scenes dealings between the two sides, only the two parties and Li Bin, who attended the meeting, know. After this negotiation, the 60-year-old Zhizhong, on behalf of the imperial court and the Zhejia army, cordially expressed his condolences to the soldiers who were injured in the two battles for the defense of Luzi Pass, and assured the soldiers that he would personally report the merits of the soldiers of the former battalion to the imperial court, and would never let the blood of the heroes be shed in vain......

After that, he rushed to Wei Pingguan with his own soldiers Pegasus - the spoils sharing meeting was over, and it was time to care for his son, who was also shamelessly harassed by the party......

Li Wenge and Li Bin rode back to the old camp of Fenglin Mountain under the escort of 20 personal soldiers, preparing to deal with the imperial court six mansions headed by Zhang Yongde head-on.

Li Wenge is now finally able to endure a long period of riding a horse, but his riding skills are not as good as those of Xifeng Minda, but even compared to Li Bin, a scholar who is close to the age of sixties. After a rush of running, the tail vertebrae were turned upside down, and it was still five or six miles away from the county seat of Jinming, and the group stopped to drink water and sharpen.

"Huairen...... Did you talk to Zijian about turning the ding tax into an mu tax? ”

Li Wenge was stunned for a moment, touched his head and said, "Well, I talked to Zijian about this matter!" ”

Li Bin looked at him and said, "You are looking for someone who is proficient in the astronomical calendar, is this because of this?" ”

Li Wenge nodded: "It's really half for this." If you want to implement the integration of acres and acres. The first thing is to measure the land of Yanzhou. Nowadays, the tools used vary greatly from place to place, and the scales used by the officials vary from county to county. If there is no group of people who are proficient in the science of measurement and calculation, this one thing alone is enough to give birth to great disadvantages. is also an acre of land, and I don't know how many tricks to play in the hands of the officials. Most of the county officials responsible for supervision and supervision were literati who were well-versed in the scriptures and history, and they were not familiar with arithmetic and were very easy to be deceived by the officials. Therefore, there is no group of talents who can be trusted in terms of measurement and calculation, and the system of integrating mu and ding should not be implemented in a hurry. ”

Li Bin was moved when he heard this, and nodded slowly: "It seems that you didn't want to implement this system temporarily, you have been planning for a long time......"

Li Wenge smiled and did not speak.

"So—what's the other half?" Li Bin asked with some curiosity.

Li Wenge didn't know how to answer this question for a while, and after thinking for a while, he said slowly: "Observation, do you still remember what I asked to observe and Zijian to help with when Yuan Zhengri was this year?" ”

Li Bin twisted his beard and smiled: "This matter has already been done, and when you return to the cottage, you will be able to see that there are a total of forty-three bitter children." Parents and relatives died on the way to escape, they were able to survive the odd number, the oldest of these dolls is only nine years old, the youngest is only five years old, poor ......"

Li Wenge nodded: "This is the best, these dolls who have not read books before are the seedlings of the future!" ”

"Oh?" Li Bin frowned and asked, "Is this related to your search for astronomical calendar and arithmetic talents?" ”

Li Wenge said: "Once today's scholars learn according to the routine of the Nine Classics and Six Arts Book of Rites, it will be too difficult for them to learn the science of arithmetic, and this arithmetic must be taught from the doll." Among the forty-three orphans in the future. Maybe there are a few great arithmeticians like Zu Wenyuan! ”

Li Bin smiled bitterly: "So what? Although there was an arithmetic test every year in the Guozijian before the Qianyuan Dynasty, after all, it was a study of the left way, and it was just a matter for the scholars to read through the chapters of the nine chapters involving the national economy and people's livelihood. However, if you are obsessed, it will not be good to go crazy. Confucian scholars go to deal with fine embroidery sticks every day, whether it is the society or the world, who can they rely on? ”

Li Wenge took a deep breath and emphasized with extreme seriousness and almost word by word: "Arithmetic is the foundation of all economic methods, whether it is the national economy and people's livelihood or the military machinery, it is inseparable from profound arithmetic skills. Scholars don't know how to learn, even if they are good officials. It is inevitable that they will be deceived by the officials, and the general will not be able to measure the height of the mountain slope or the depth of the river if he does not know how to do arithmetic. I don't know how to make maps, I don't know how to plan and I am not good at scheduling. What's more, carpenters and blacksmiths are masters of practical arithmetic, and their visual and drawing standards are far above ordinary people. If there was no arithmetic, there would be no furniture such as beds, tables, stools, and cages, and there would be no bows and crossbows for the army. It can be said that although arithmetic is not as great as Confucius, it is indispensable for national affairs and people's livelihood and economy! It can be said that arithmetic is the ancestor of all learning......"

The alarmist words he said, but the examples he gave were quite real, and Li Bin really felt that what he said made some sense when he thought about it carefully. The Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms Program were often chaotic, Confucianism was largely regarded as a rhetorical and unpractical study, and the traditional concepts of benevolence, righteousness, morality, filial piety, and shame were completely subverted. In contrast, a warlord like Li Wenge who respects culture and Confucianism is simply rare in this era, and as for the fact that he respects Confucianism and respects it at the same time, Li Bin does not find it so difficult to accept. After all, in this era, the Confucian concept of authenticity has not yet undergone the purification of science, and the openness and inclusiveness created by the pragmatic style of the ancient literary movement in the middle and late Tang Dynasty are still influencing the development of scripture and etiquette. At this time, the Confucian heirs paid much more attention to the application of what they learned than to dogma and norms.

This was an era without Song Confucianism, and the scholars' outlook on life and world view had not yet undergone earth-shaking drastic changes.

This is an era in which the incorruptible and conscientious Feng Dao is admired and worshiped by the entire Shilin, not the era when Feng Dao, a four-surnamed domestic slave, was criticized from the perspective of morality and discipline and was compared to a woman who mutilated herself. At this time, the "Old Tang Book" (not "old" yet) had just been written, and in this book, there was neither the so-called "Legend of Loyalty and Righteousness" nor the so-called "Biography of Traitorous Ministers" and "Biography of Ministers". Subsequent histories, without exception, began to use the binary classification of loyalty and adultery. As a result, the so-called opposition between "loyal ministers" and "traitorous ministers" began to appear in Chinese history.

In the era of Li Wenge, there were many old birds who read history who were extremely dissatisfied with Song Confucianism for this reason.

Fortunately, the time traveled by Li Wenge was so many decades earlier, Zhongjun

Good ideas have not yet had time to become the mainstream of society.

—

Therefore, it is not surprising that Li Bin can agree with his statement about arithmetic planning.

“…… People who are proficient in calendrical arithmetic and know the changes in astronomical phenomena are found in Yanzhou. I'm just afraid you don't dare to use it...... Even if you dare to use it, this person will not go out of the mountain even if he is afraid...... It's not a small trouble......" Li Bin muttered.

Li Wenge suddenly came to his senses: "Really? ”

Li Bin smiled: "What's so strange about this?" There are talented people everywhere, but it just depends on whether the ruler can use them well......"

Li Wenge shook Li Bin's arm like a child and said repeatedly: "Who is this person?" Where is it now? ”

Li Bin smiled and said: "This person's surname is Ye, his name is Qiyu, the word is sleeping, he is a native of Jingzhao Wugong County, his ancestors lived in martial arts, and once worshiped under the seat of the Zen master of the Tang Dynasty to practice the astronomical calendar and calculate the plan. This person has a family history. I'm an arithmetic idiot, and I'm obsessed with studying arithmetic. Six years ago, the Khitan army went down to Kaifeng, and the enemy chief Yelu Deguang stole the emperor's name, and founded the country in Bianjing. And Bianliang's Si Tianjian Tai Shi Ling died in the chaos, Tiansi has no owner, this person heard this, he was so happy that he danced and went to Bianliang from the starry night of Chang'an. Recommending himself to Liao Taizong before driving, Deguang ordered him to be the Taishi Ling......"

Li Wenge was greatly surprised, it turned out that the person introduced by Li Bin was another out-and-out traitor, no wonder he had words that he might not dare to use. If it is said that when Comrade Yelu Deguang founded the country, Feng Dao and others had to make a false deal with them in order to protect their lives, then this Mr. Ye Qiyu was an out-and-out traitor, and there was no excuse to find. Nor can any external pressure be used to exonerate the guilt.

Li Bin stopped here and looked at Li Wenge quietly.

"And then?"

Li Wenge asked.

Li Bin smiled: "The rest of the world knows, Liu Zhiyuan raised troops in Taiyuan, Liao Taizong hurriedly returned to Youyun, died of illness on the way, the Central Plains was in chaos, and when the soldiers were in chaos, this Mr. Ye swept away all the astronomical calendar books in Si Tianjian and the astronomical records of all dynasties. When I came to Yanzhou to join me, I gave him a waterfall viewing courtyard in the southeast mountain, and gave him some grain, rice, vegetables and vegetables every month, and ......lived with him and his wife."

Li Wenge's eyes shone brightly when he heard this—this traitor and traitor actually held many priceless treasures in his hands. What an outlier!

"Look, where is this man now?"

Li Bin smiled: "Didn't I say it, in the mountains in the southeast......"

Li Wenge jumped up: "Observe, bother your old man to lead the way, let's not go back to Fenglin for the time being, go to the mountains and invite this old fairy out first......

"Ah——?h Li Bin was stunned on the spot.

……

Wang Pu, accompanied by Qin Gu and Lu Xundi, walked along the mountain road, but his eyes kept looking at the people who were cultivating the fields and picking wild vegetables in the mountains, and he didn't care much about the recruits who were shouting trumpets on the hillside.

"Qin Ming Mansion, if Wang Mou's memory is not bad, there seems to be a homeless camp in the county seat, right?"

Wang Pu asked with a smile.

Qin Gu arched his hand: "Exactly, the camp of displaced people over there in the county is the western camp, which is under the jurisdiction of the county!" ”

"Oh, so all these outcasts are under the jurisdiction of the army?" Wang Pu asked, pointing to the people who were farming and picking around him.

"Exactly! These people belong to the Fenglin Mountain Camp of the Displaced People, also known as the East Camp, and are under the jurisdiction of the army. Lu Xun on the side straightened his waist and said loudly.

Wang Pu glanced at this young general, who was dressed very neatly, smiled, and bowed slightly.

Lu Xun put on a new cyan officer's robe today. At the strong request of the junior officers of the army, some basic changes were made to the original appearance of this robe, the most significant change being the style of the neckline and the position of the buttons. The neckline adopts the round-neck style of a standard official uniform, and the buttons are moved from the center to the shoulder straps and armpits. The hem of the robe is not as long as that of ordinary official uniforms, the cuffs are tightly tied, and a belt made of cowhide material further sets off the upright and handsome temperament of the person wearing the military uniform.

Lu Xun did not wear armor or helmet today, and wore a cross-legged head on his head like a military attache in this era, which made him even more heroic.

"If all the characters under Li Xuanjie's command are like Lu Yuyan, then this Fenglin Mountain will really become a place where the dragon and the tiger are hidden!" Wang Pu was full of praise as he walked up.

Lu Xun was quite proud in his heart, but Qin Gu knew about this champion duke, and said with a wry smile helplessly: "The Zhangwu Army is adjacent to the party, and it has to fight with the Dingyan Army every year. If there is no more army that can fight and fight, I am afraid that Lishu in Hezhou will only have the share of being slaughtered......"

Wang Pu smiled: "Qin Mingfu is right......"

Then he changed the topic and said with a smile: "Train the army, gather the displaced people, and cultivate and build ...... Everything is something that ordinary people can't do, and it seems that this Xuanjie captain is really extraordinary......"

These words are also good words, but Qin Gu on the side listened to how awkward he listened, he said lightly: "Now that the military discipline of the Zhangwu Army is lax, it is impossible to defend the war, there are too many such troops, and occasionally an ordinary army will seem extraordinary!" ”

Wang Pu looked at the infantry armor on the soldiers standing guard, and said with a smile: "I have seen a lot of soldiers in the city, and they don't seem to have worn armor, this Li Xuanjie seems to be very willing to spend money on armor and weapons......

Qin Gu said: "The army is used to fight, and a piece of armor on the battlefield is equivalent to half the life of the soldiers, which is what Li Xuanjie often tells the soldiers. As long as the soldiers have the best blades and armor, then this army will also be the most brave and good on the battlefield. ”

Wang Pu said lightly: "Wang went south and north, and there are a lot of shogunates and generals who follow him, but there is no one who can act like Li Xuanjie." ”

As he spoke, he raised his head and stared at Qin Gu's eyes, and said meaningfully: "Rectify the armor staff, cultivate and cultivate the training of soldiers--those who can restrain military discipline in history and govern the army like this...... I'm afraid that there are only Emperor Wei Wu and Liu Jinu, right? ”
