Chapter 81: Prospecting

"That's Zhao Kui?" Huang Daochang and Zhao Zheng whispered in the room, and secretly glanced at Zhao Kui, who was waiting in the hall. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Yes, Master, this apprentice I accepted for you is okay, he was born in a famous family, he is in a high position, and more importantly, he has a good character, and he will definitely be able to grow the face of our Baiyun Taoist Temple." Zhao Zheng curryed favor with this zodiac chief and asked him to clean up the aftermath of this matter for himself.

Huang Daochang looked at his disciple who was becoming more and more incomprehensible, and finally sighed helplessly: "You, you!" Third brother, our Baiyun Taoist Temple has become extremely noble, be careful that things will be reversed, you have to pay attention to proportion. ”

Zhao Zheng knew that this was Huang Daochang reminding him not to involve the government, Zhao Zheng immediately expressed his position, first stabilized Huang Daochang and then said: "Yes, Master, remember." ”

Seeing that Zhao Zheng was sincere, Huang Daochang didn't say much, tidied up his clothes and went out.

Zhao Kui saw Huang Daochang coming out of the inner room, and immediately got up to salute: "Huang Zhenren." ”

The zodiac chief motioned to let Zhao Kui sit down, the zodiac chief was only a few years older than Zhao Kui, but he had been stumbling for half a lifetime, and he looked a little old, and Zhao Kui was born in a famous family, paid attention to health preservation, looked good and martial arts, naturally looked young, the two stood together, the zodiac chief seemed to be ten years older than Zhao Kui, half a generation taller, so the zodiac chief's tone was also appropriate: "Nanzhong, you don't have to see the outside, I don't have any rules in this door, as long as you are dedicated to the Tao and have the heart to study the principles of heaven, the rest of the false etiquette is not needed, On the way to Taoism, you can consult the third brother more. As for apprenticeship, you can go with me to the ancestors and kowtow. ”

Zhao Kui arched his hand: "Abide by Master's decree." ”

……

After Zhao Kui talked about the ancestors and ancestors of Baiyun Taoist Temple in the mourning hall, he naturally wanted to meet all the senior brothers, Da Lang was still the same old look, completely still the appearance of a naughty child, and Erlang looked like a young man, but his youthful heart could still be seen between his words. Zhao Kui was naturally a little embarrassed in the face of his nominal two senior brothers, this Baiyun Taoist Temple was completely different from what he imagined, except for the national teacher, others couldn't see a superior appearance at all.

As for the zodiac chief when he was eating with Zhao Kui, two glasses of rice wine went down to his stomach, what kind of root could he escape Zhao Kui's eyes. All this made him even more curious about Zhao Zheng.

After the meal, Zhao Kui talked with Zhao Zheng about the way of training, and Zhao Zheng's whimsical suggestions made Zhao Kui's eyes shine, such as the establishment of a political commissar in the army to unify thinking, as well as the problem of the musketeer phalanx, army training, military honor, and the theory of rotten streets in later generations, but this Zhao Kui feels very different here.

This national teacher is really born to know.

――

After Zhao Kui said goodbye, Chengdao ran in, took a bunch of famous posters, and asked Zhao Zheng who he wanted to see today, Baiyun Taoist Temple is now famous, and there are many pilgrims who come to burn incense.

Zhao Zheng took out two famous posts from the middle, one official and one civil.

The official one is a famous post in the Ministry of Works, and Zhao Zheng knew what he was doing at a glance, but he didn't want to break the rules he set and let people in.

The place where guests are received is the same as the ordinary living room, and it is even slightly smaller, and there are tricks such as making people kneel down and pray for blessings, and they invite people in directly, and Zhao Zheng sits in the middle hall.

"Why should Lang Zhong of the Ministry of Officials and Workers take the risk of meeting the national teacher."

When a middle-aged official came in, Zhao Zheng directly let people move in, and there was no sense of ceremony, so he asked directly: "But is it for the iron mine?" ”

Why bother to get up immediately as soon as he sat down: "The national teacher's eyes are like torches, and he really hit the right word." ”

"You're in charge of this mining now?" Zhao Zheng just pointed out an iron mine to the court in Shaoxing, that is, the Lizhu iron ore in later generations, but the court felt that it was not enough, Shaoxing iron ore is a small poor iron mine, and there are certain difficulties in mining, but according to the method of mining and smelting given by Zhao Zheng, no matter how much higher than the yield of this era. There are a lot of iron ores in China, but most of them are poor iron ores, and the large iron-rich mines are basically in the north, and only Sichuan and Anhui have large iron-rich mines in the south.

"No, it's Director Li Shangshu, Xia Guan just came to greet the national teacher to see if you have time to open the sky again......" Why bother to answer cautiously, for fear that Zhao Zheng would be angry because of Li Zhixiao's arrangement.

Zhao Zheng didn't care about Li Zhixiao's eyes: "Oh." Li Shangshu, it is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish, I asked your Ministry of Industry to select twenty officials who are perceptive and willing to accept new things to study and survey the leylines with me, I don't know how it is going now? ”

Geology involved in geological survey is one of the seven basic disciplines, and if you want to completely make a difference, you must inevitably systematically learn your new Taoism and become a believer in science. Zhao Zheng is now trying to attract talents within Confucianism, after the two Jin Dynasty in China, there are many people who cultivate Confucianism and Taoism, and now the Southern Song Dynasty is also the same as the Eastern Jin Dynasty in history, partial to peace, although it has not formed the Eastern Jin Dynasty that loves to talk, poor Confucianism and noble Taoism, and is tired of death and good life, but the signs have appeared. Therefore, he has an accepting attitude towards Taoism, but he sells dog meat on his own sheep's head, and completely deviates this Taoism, but then again, the Taoist schools founded by Zhang Daoling, Tao Hongjing, and Ge Xuan are probably only half a dime related to Lao Zhuang's Taoist thoughts. Even now Confucianism is the same, has been reduced to the study of commenting paragraphs and sentences, each family uses their own ideas to annotate Confucian classics, and the relationship with Confucius is not great, the current science and the pre-Qin Confucianism are completely two sets of doctrines, but Zhu Xi, Lu Jiuyuan and others all say that this is based on the words of Confucius Sheng, and it is also a Confucian classic, and no one can send it right.

Anyway, in this world, there is not only one who sells dog meat on the head of a sheep, and Zhao Zheng has no guilt or burden at all.

Why bother for a long time to hear Zhao Zheng mention the matter of sending officials to Baiyun Taoist Temple to study, and he was also a little helpless: "At this time, it is not my Ministry of Industry that can make a decision, it needs to involve the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of History, and the two governments, all parties have different opinions, and they are still in the process of arguing. ”

For half a year, these bureaucrats! Zhao Zheng is also helpless, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Household have all asked for themselves, and they coordinate from it, the problem should not be big, as for the two governments, ask for Shi Miyuan, he should also be able to agree, but this Ministry of History and the Ministry of Rites, he has never had any dealings with them. Although he is in the position of the national teacher, but people don't buy it, it's not a dry stare, his influence on the court comes from the emperor's favor for him, some officials don't even buy the emperor, not to mention that they, especially the Ministry of Rites, are a bunch of old scholars, the most difficult to shake.

"Where is this agenda now?"

"We've been discussing whether we should send 19 or 20 people for two or three days."

Zhao Zheng was stunned for a while after hearing this, at this rate, he was afraid that it would be delayed until next year, thinking of this, Zhao Zheng was also a little angry: "I will not do this exploration of copper and iron ore in the future, unless I send someone to Baiyun Taoist Temple to study, and the deadline is three months." He Langzhong brought my words to the court. ”
