Chapter 464: Guo Shoujing Sets Out
Cheng Yue got back into the carriage and grinned at Kuo Kuolun and Babahan, who were sitting across from him.
Kuo Kuolun and Ba Bahan were so numb by his laughter that their scalps were like pins and needles, thinking of what Cheng Yue said, they couldn't tell what it was like in their hearts, trying to avoid his gaze, but they couldn't help but peek at his expression with the corner of their eyes.
Nang Jia really couldn't look past it, and stepped forward to protect Kuo Kuolun and said: "Don't look at your mother like this, the joke has already been made." ”
Cheng Yue smiled: "Yes, yes, I know, but I just regret it a little, I should have changed it just now, didn't you see the disappointed expressions on the faces of the four maids, haha." ”
Kuo Kuolun was so angry that he slapped Cheng Yue's thigh, Cheng Yue couldn't help laughing again, Wan Ze hugged Cheng Yue and said with a smile: "Don't laugh, Xianggong, let's talk about what Ma Jing said." ”
Cheng Yue restrained his smile and said, "I know that this person is indeed a greedy and tyrannical official, as Ma Jing said. But first, he is far away from Dadu, I can't stretch my hand too long, second, he is watched by Lian Xixian, and he can't make much of a difference, and third, he is a little involved with Ahma, although he is not Ahoma's henchman, but it is not good for me to clean him up, so I have been leaving it alone. But now there is a good opportunity, he indulges in private salt, and even Ahma will not spare him, and when I return to the capital in the summer, I can easily solve this trouble. ”
Kuo Kuolun said: "You are Da Yuan's Zhongshu Zuo Cheng!" What's so bad about it? Others in the DPRK and China are afraid of Ahma, are you still afraid? If you should be in charge, the Great Khan entrusted the two princesses to you, how much favor you have, don't push back in case of trouble, otherwise you are worthy of the Great Khan's trust in you? ”
Cheng Yue smiled slightly and said, "I know, I made it clear to Lian Xixian in the letter just now, don't worry." ”
Return to the palace. The carriage stopped slowly, and as soon as Cheng Yue jumped out of the car, Xiao Zhen stepped forward and said: "Dadu Governor, Wang Shiyuan and Guo Shoujing came to bid farewell to Dadu Governor, they also just arrived, waiting in the flower hall." ”
Cheng Yue nodded. Said: "Just right, I'll go see them." ”
Walking into the flower hall, Wang Shiyuan and Guo Shoujing immediately got up to salute.
Cheng Yue saw that Wang Shiyuan's skin was dark, and laughed: "I haven't seen you for a long time, and you have become a charcoal man?" ”
Wang Shiyuan smiled and said, "Governor Qiyu, his subordinates don't dare to be lazy in training, and it should be like this." ”
Cheng Yue patted him on the shoulder with great appreciation and said, "Good job." As a military commander, you are not pampered, and you can train with the sergeant, I am proud of you! ”
Wang Shiyuan put his legs together, saluted and said loudly: "Yes, I will obey the orders of the capital and dare not disobey." ”
Cheng Yue smiled: "Did you get a gun from your brother-in-law?" ”
Wang Shiyuan said: "Yes, I received two thousand guns, and the craftsmen have gathered." Pu Shou Geng sent more than 100 Persians to lead the voyage, ready to set off at any time. ”
Cheng Yue said: "Okay." When the war in Japan is over, we will send our navy to occupy important positions along the way and begin to establish supply ports. You don't need to wait for me to go west, someone will contact you. Once you have gained a foothold in the Ilkhanate, you must send people to Europe and the Mamluk dynasty as soon as possible to spy on the military situation and spread rumors. What is more important is to spread my books, to bring civilization to Europe, to prepare for my westward expedition. ”
Wang Shiyuan bowed solemnly and said, "Yes, my subordinates will go all out." ”
Cheng Yue said: "If the Ilkhanate wants you to help them fight. It's up to you to avoid casualties, and guns and bombs are not allowed, so it's important to protect this secret unless it's at stake. ”
Wang Shiyuan said: "Yes." ”
Cheng Yue said: "Also, no one is allowed to convert to Christianity or Islam in the past few years, if you find that someone secretly converts your faith, don't care if he makes a mistake or not, he will be executed directly, and no appeasement will be tolerated!" ”
Wang Shiyuan said angrily: "Don't worry, this kind of person is easy to apostatize, of course he will die, and his subordinates can save it." ”
Cheng Yue nodded and said, "After my westward expedition, the whole world will change, and between us and the Mongols, we will also have to divide the winner and loser, do you understand?" ”
Wang Shiyuan only felt a rush of blood rushing to the top of his head, and said loudly: "Yes!" When the time comes, the Metropolitan Governor will unify the world......"
Cheng Yue waved his hand to stop him from talking, and said, "You don't have to think about things in a hurry in the future, let's do the things in front of you first." ”
Wang Shiyuan hurriedly said: "Yes, my subordinates understand." ”
Cheng Yue got up and looked at the two of them, and said, "You can't leave with great fanfare, and I can't send you off, but you have to remember that you are going to change the world and are destined to go down in history!" We'll see you again in four or five years, and I'll celebrate you then. ”
Wang Shiyuan performed a standard military salute, Guo Shoujing shook his head, both of them had tears in their eyes, and their chests were full of pride!
Cheng Yue smiled slightly, personally sent them to the outside of the mansion, held their hands and said solemnly: "You are precious, I will not send them far." Take care of yourself, see you soon! ”
Wang Shiyuan, Guo Shoujing and Cheng Yue said goodbye in tears, and when they walked to the end of Fuqian Street, the two couldn't help but glance back. I saw Cheng Yue standing straight and looking solemn, and he had been saluting them!
The two were so moved that they shed tears again, Guo Shoujing also learned from Wang Shiyuan's example and returned a military salute, and then sighed deeply: "The governor treats me as a national soldier, and I should repay him with death!" ”
Wang Shiyuan wiped away his tears and said, "It's okay for me to die, Mr. can't be fine." The great cause of the Metropolitan Governor must not be delayed! ”
Guo Shoujing smiled and said, "How can Commander Wang have something? The Governor of the Metropolitan has also handed over a heavy burden to Commander Wang, and we must all complete it well. ”
Wang Shiyuan said: "Mr. is right, look forward to four years later." ”
Guo Shoujing looked up at the sky and muttered: "The world is about to change greatly, it will be in the next few years, I really want to know, what will it become?" ”
Wang Shiyuan said categorically: "Of course, it is to become what the Metropolitan Governor wants!" I'm not afraid that Mr. knows that in this world, it is not Mongolian, nor is it from the Great Song Dynasty, but only from the Grand Governor! Only when the Metropolitan Governor ascends the throne and becomes the emperor, the world will be balanced, and the people can live a good life! We have been convinced from the beginning that it must be so! How does it look now? Right? ”
Guo Shoujing sighed leisurely and said, "This is probably the destiny of heaven!" When I arrived in Suzhou, I realized that the general trend of the world is vast and mighty, and it is beyond human power to resist, even if Genghis Khan is alive, it is useless. ”
Wang Shiyuan laughed and said, "What Mr. said is very true, although the Metropolitan Governor does not believe in fate, he is the true dragon emperor!" Let's wait and see. When the Metropolitan Governor comes to the world, hehe! ”
The two chatted while walking, and when they came to the dock, Liu Shun, Guo Kan and other ministers came to see each other off, but everyone was dressed in civilian clothes and did not bring a few entourages, very low-key, not wanting to attract attention.
Wang Shiyuan and Guo Shoujing said goodbye to them on the dock with tears, and repeatedly told the two to take care. Afterwards, the fleet quietly left the docks, and when they arrived in Shanghai, they were joined by another, larger fleet, mostly new-style sea vessels, loaded with the latest goods of the Great Song Dynasty and porcelain, silk, etc., escorted by two thousand elite navies, and set sail for the Ilkhanate!
Sending Wang Shiyuan and Guo Shoujing away, Cheng Yue returned to the inner house. Kuo Kuolun asked, "Are they all gone?" ”
Cheng Yue nodded and said, "Yes, we will go for a few years, and when we see them again, it will be the day of our westward expedition!" ”
Kutolon's body trembled slightly, and Nang Jiazhen couldn't sit still, and said, "I'll go too!" I also want to avenge the cowardly Buhua! ”
Cheng Yue smiled: "Okay, if you want to go, you can go, I will definitely take you." ”
Wan Ze said: "Xianggong, are you going back to Lin'an tomorrow?" ”
Cheng Yue said: "Yes, you can play here for a few more days, I will wait for you in Lin'an, and then enter the city with you." ”
Babahan smiled and teased: "It's hard work." ”
Cheng Yue didn't care, and said with a smile: "My wife, what's the hard work?" Others want to work hard, but they can't come to it. ”
Babahan was also helpless, Cheng Yue couldn't cut it with a knife, and the water couldn't be splashed, saying that he didn't care about anything, and there was nothing he could do about it.
After dinner, Cheng Yue ordered people to summon Xie Fangde, Yin Yu, Li Tingzhi, Li Fu, Gao Side, Chen Wenlong, Cui Bin, Zhao Mengfu and others, and let them into the study.
When the ministers saw that all the ministers came, they couldn't help but feel a little strange, this was the first time in the world, and it seemed that the matter discussed today was extraordinary.
After the ministers sat down and drank a few sips of tea, Cheng Yue took out a plan and handed it to the ministers to read.
Xie Fang was the first to get it, just looking at the words on the cover, he immediately gasped!
Because there are four big words written on the cover - "Examination System"!
The ministers also saw these four words, and they couldn't help but change their faces. It is a taboo to launch his own coins, and at this time, Cheng Yue set an examination system to replace the imperial examination, is it to break with the imperial court?
Cheng Yue said: "The imperial examination of the Great Song Dynasty must be reformed, and I think it will be changed from the Special Economic Zone." The new examination system should pay equal attention to both old and new knowledge, and it is necessary not only to be able to cultivate oneself and govern the country and level the world, but also to be able to know astronomy and geography and understand what the real world is like. In addition, I want to add a women's department, and I will take the exam together with men, and those who pass can be conferred on the officer. Women are needed in the Department of Health, Commerce, Industry, the Courts, etc., and the sooner the better. What's more, starting this summer, I will be going on a series of expeditions, first to Japan, then to the southern countries, and then to the west with the Mongols. We need people to govern those countries, and we now have too few people to support my future plans. Therefore, it is necessary to start discovering talent in large numbers now to prepare for future expansion. The second is to replace some unworthy officials, even officials from other parts of the Great Song Dynasty. Those who refuse reform, those who are ideologically rigid, and those who go against the law have only one way to step down! ”
Chen Wenlong couldn't help but said worriedly: "Metropolitan Governor, the imperial examination is related to the long-term plan of the country, will the two saints be unhappy?" It would be better for the Governor to ask for a will. (To be continued......)
