Chapter 98: Prison vs. [Medium]

A little hesitation appeared on his face, and after a while, Zhao Yu asked, "I don't know if Mr. has a way to let this Wang Yongzhen Jingdong Road?" ”

"No way!" Gongsun Xuanxu was afraid that Zhao Yu would have unrealistic illusions, so he decisively cut off the delusions in Zhao Yu's heart.

Hearing this, Zhao Yu did not sigh with regret as Gongsun Xuanxu thought. Zhao Yu's solemn face softened instead, breathed a sigh of relief, and showed a smile. When people deal with things, there are always two aspects, one is emotion, and the other is reason. Feelings are so hard to control, even if you know intellectually that it's a big mistake.

The easiest thing to do, to break up. Although I know that it is useless to be sad, I still can't help but be sad.

Zhao Yu also knew that the question he just raised was difficult to achieve, but emotionally, Zhao Yu always had a trace of luck.

Although Gongsun Xuanxu didn't know why Zhao Yu had such an expression, he still followed his script and comforted: "Doesn't the prince know that Sai Weng lost his horse, and he doesn't know if it's a blessing?" ”

Zhao Yu was stunned, and a smile of surprise appeared on his face. "Sir, don't you mean something?"

Gongsun Xuanxu nodded and said, "Exactly!" ”

Zhao Yu hurriedly said: "Please Mr. Solve your doubts!" ”

Gongsun Xuanxu took out a straw pole and drew a simple map of the whole country on the ground. The map is rudimentary and even distorted. The Great Song Dynasty painted by Gongsun Xuanxu is square, and the coastline has no arc.

However, this is enough to make Zhao Yu look at Gongsun Xuanxu differently, and there is no geography to say at this time. Ordinary readers study the Four Books and the Five Classics and the like, not to mention the general national map or something, which is impossible for ordinary people to see. This also shows the breadth of Gongsun Xuanxu's hunting books.

Gongsun Xuanxu had two places and said, "It can be a place for the prince to stay!" ”

Zhao Yu looked at it and was a little happy. One is Jinghu South Road, referred to as Hunan.

Gongsun Xuanxu was afraid that Zhao Yu would not be able to suppress the suspicion in his heart, so he gently circled his finger on the map and said: "Lord Wang, although Jinghu South Road is remote, Poor Dao once visited the local area when he was young. The land here is fertile, the streams and rivers are vertical and horizontal, as long as you can patiently repair the water conservancy and migrate the displaced people, you can be no less than the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River! ”

Zhao Yu nodded and said, "What Mr. said is very true. ”

Gongsun Xuanxu didn't know that Zhao Yu came from a later generation, and seeing that Zhao Yu was young, he just said that he believed it. Deng Shi felt that Zhao Yu was perfunctory, after all, in the eyes of the Song Dynasty people at this time, except for the Central Plains, all other places were wild places. Even localism is in vogue.

Kou Zhun is a virtuous prime minister, both historically and in romance. But whenever a northerner was admitted to the imperial examination, he would shout and drink a glass of wine, and when a southerner was admitted, he would immediately drink and scold.

Gongsun Xuan said patiently: "Although Jinghu South Road is wild, it is an indisputable fact that the land is fertile. Moreover, there are local Wuxi barbarians who have been in turmoil since the end of the Tang Dynasty, and they have been divided into chaos. The prince can use this to exterminate and control the military power! ”

Zhao Yu frowned and said, "Sir's words seem to be feasible, but I'm afraid it will be difficult to do." The king of Wuxi Barbarian has also heard that this is called a barbarian, and it is actually divided into sixteen states and distributed in twenty-three states, just like a small kingdom. There is no servitude, and the strong do not pay official taxes, and the parties are even counties, and there are hundreds of thousands of people in one clan. Five streams and moving, tens of thousands of people. ”

When Zhao Yu said this, he paused, thought about the memory in his mind, and then continued: "Ma Yin, the king of Chu in the five dynasties, only exterminated his Feishan barbarians, and he was unable to suppress the Wuxi barbarians, so he could only be controlled in the name of the officials. Now there is the Khitan in the north, the Western Xia in the west, and the catastrophe in the east. The imperial court can't help the king much! At that time, Ma Yin coordinated the military, politics, civil and military affairs on Jinghu South Road, and he couldn't be a hero for a while, so it was difficult! ”

Gongsun Xuan smiled and said: "If it is easy, how can the civil and military officials in the court allow you to go there?" ”

Zhao Yu was dumbfounded.

Gongsun Xuanxu hesitated, moved his fingers to the south, and said: "Actually, Poor Dao doesn't want the prince to come here, but since the prince doesn't seem to be interested in Jinghu South Road. This is the best place for the prince to stay! ”

Zhao Yu took a closer look and was a little surprised, but he had the heart to pay attention to Gongsun Xuanxu's gaze. Pretending to be angry, he said: "Guangnan East Road? Isn't this Lingnan? Sir, you have to make this king a laughing stock of the Manchu Dynasty! I'm afraid that the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty are all interested in sending it to the minister of the Changting Pavilion in the south of the city! I don't know, I'm afraid that Daofan Xiwen will be degraded again! ”

What Zhao Yu said later was that during the Tiansheng year, Fan Zhongyan asked Liu E to return to power in Song Renzong, and was degraded, moving the world's scholars, countless officials and scholars came uninvited, and sent Fan Zhongyan to Changting.

For this reason, Fan Zhongyan began to be famous all over the world.

However, Zhao Yu was sent, although he is also famous all over the world, but this name will definitely not be a good reputation. On the contrary, Zhao Yu will become the laughing stock of the world's scholars. Have you ever seen yourself apply for exile? When it was placed in the Qing Dynasty, it was equivalent to requesting Ningguta, and in New China, it was equivalent to going to the Gobi region in the northwest.

Gongsun Xuanxu shook his head and said, "Lord Wang, what you see is only the bad place, but you don't see the good place. Please look at the map! ”

Zhao Yu lowered his head and looked at the map according to Gongsun Xuanxu's words.

Gongsun Xuanxu drew a circle further west. Said: "Poor Dao doesn't know the location of the Great Eclipse, but he also knows that the Great Eclipse is roughly in the west. Now that the Silk Road on land has been interrupted, only the Silk Road on the Sea continues. Taking the sea route, it can be seen that the first stop must be Guangnan East Road, with this geographical advantage, why doesn't the prince use this to buy the property of the big food merchant, and then transport it to Hangzhou to sell! When the time is ripe, the prince can also build his own ships and organize a fleet to walk on the Maritime Silk Road! ”

Gongsun Xuanxu's words were very reasonable, but Zhao Yu shook his head and said, "There is one thing, sir, have you noticed that among the scholars who have recently taken the imperial examination in the DPRK and China, there are many Fujian scholars among them. And the number of Fujian scholars admitted has slowly increased since the beginning of the previous year! ”

Gongsun Xuanxu thought for a while, and had an epiphany: "Does the prince mean that the Silk Road has made these Fujian scholars?" ”

Zhao Yu nodded and said, "The three armies have not moved the grain and grass first!" The same is true for the imperial examination, if you don't have enough money, how can you study with peace of mind? If you don't have enough money, how can you travel the world and increase your knowledge? If you don't have enough money, how can you try it with peace of mind? If you think about it, how can a scholar not worry about having no rice at home, how can his mother and wife get by, how can they not be afraid, and how to face their family after failure? ”
