"So good! I am looking forward to my husband's 10-year reign. Zhao Ji raised his glass again to toast Wang Anshi.

"I will live up to the expectations of God! In next year's general election, Junshi will also run, and Junshi's talent is indispensable for a ruling position. If the saint returns to Bianjing, it is best to visit Junshi as soon as possible. The Holy One should remember that it was not the Holy One who ordered him to come to the audience, but the Holy One himself to visit. Wang Anshi instructed.

"According to the rules of the Government Affairs Hall, the election of the members of the Government Hall is elected by the four universities, but the specific positions are still appointed by me. Even if Sima Guang can enter the political hall, whether he can govern or not has to pass the pass. Last time, Sima Guang and others instigated the Holy Lady to establish a new emperor, how could I give him the position of ruling power? Zhao Ji disagreed.

Zhao Ji knew that Wang Anshi and Sima Guang were good friends, and Wang Anshi was not wrong to speak for Sima Guang, but Wang Anshi said that Sima Guang was indispensable for a ruling position, which was a bit offensive to his power as an emperor.

"Holy Lord, the government hall system has changed. Each of the four universities established the House of Representatives, and the system of government halls was improved by the resolution of the four major councils. The members of the Council are also elected by the four universities, but the specific positions are determined by the votes. The prime minister and the two consuls are automatically held by the top three with the most votes, and the other positions are jointly decided by the saint and the prime minister. Wang Anshi said with a smile.

After speaking, Wang Anshi stared at Zhao Ji, hoping that Zhao Ji would acquiesce to such a change. In fact, such an improvement is tantamount to depriving Zhao of his power. If the prime minister and others are appointed by Zhao Ji, Zhao Ji will definitely appoint a prime minister who listens to him very much, so as to control power. Now, if the prime minister is not appointed by him, then there is more chance that the prime minister will disagree with him.

"Candidates, who nominate them? What if I am dissatisfied with the political affairs hall and the prime minister? What if someone covets my throne? What should I do if the prime minister controls the political reform of the dynasty and changes the dynasty? Zhao Ji asked angrily.

Zhao Ji's face was pale, now that the new law has not been consolidated, and his power is limited at this time, so there are twists and turns in the new law, doesn't he have to do things illegally, use his prestige, mobilize the army, and forcibly dissolve the political affairs hall? If there is a power minister, won't there be a change of dynasty? There are too many things that Chinese civilization has lost in the change of dynasty!

"The Holy Lords can rest assured that if the Holy Lord is dissatisfied with the Prime Minister's administration, he can give feedback to the four major political councils, and if the four major councils discuss and pass, the prime minister will be removed. The second person on the second side of the vote automatically takes over as Prime Minister. Vacancies in the government hall are nominated by the Holy Lord, and the office can be appointed after the approval of the four major political councils. In this way, the Great Song Guozuo will not waver. The nomination of candidates by all the faculty members of the four universities, 100 people can be nominated together, after the nomination by the Ministry of Supervision and Officials for assessment, must meet five conditions: the four universities graduated, the local government for more than 10 years, the central government for more than 3 years, outstanding political performance, honest and capable. Wang Anshi knew that Zhao Ji's heart was unbalanced, and carefully comforted.

"There is no such electoral system in various states and counties in the local area, right? Aren't my soldiers eligible to be selected? Zhao Ji asked again.

Zhao Ji, who came from later generations, agreed with democracy to a certain extent, because for the Song Dynasty, culture was no longer monopolized by the aristocracy like the Sui and Tang dynasties. The popularization of the imperial examination system, coupled with the universalization of the education system of the four universities, has made ordinary people have a certain consciousness.

However, Zhao Wei does not agree with absolute democracy, because there are too many people who follow the crowd, and they can't take care of their own lives, so how can they have time to participate in the election? The end result is not to follow the crowd, to be seduced, or to be bought. Such democracy is useless.

Zhao Ji has seen the democracy of various countries in later generations, absolute democracy will only lead to absolute dictatorship, and will only produce a series of ** and open and secret struggles. Not to mention the rest, just talking about the rural areas of China in later generations, because of the democratic elections, in the end, the positions in the villages were occupied by some ruffians and hooligans, and those people would not think about how to develop their hometowns at all, but only thought about selling collective property after they came to power, and then taking the opportunity to make a fortune.

Those who can have a sense of protagonist and pay attention to the fate of the country, those who have the ability to pay attention to the fate of the country and have a sense of mission, will only be those who read. From this point of view, Zhao Ji very much agrees with the college students of later generations to become village officials, because college students have a sense of mission, a strong sense of ambition, and the ability to be a good village official.

Of course, not all scholars have a sense of protagonist, so the electoral system set up by Zhao Ji is only limited to the four universities and only to the central government.

"Rest assured, the lesson of the disaster of the Tang Dynasty is already very painful, how can it be possible to decentralize the place? Soldiers can also be selected, and the conditions are almost the same: graduated from the Patriotic Academy, served in the Border Guard, Joint Defense Army, and Coast Guard for more than 10 years, and served in the Dragon Guard, Iron Guard, and Military Department for more than 3 years. Wang Anshi replied.

"Okay, I'm too careful, just do it, sir, I will fully support him!" Zhao Ji had nothing to say, so he could only raise his glass to toast Wang Anshi.

・・・・・・・・

After the dinner with the soldiers of the Mountain Corps, Zhao Ji ordered Zheng Tong, the county governor of Keelung, to arrange the accommodation of Wang Anshi and others.

Because Keelung Port was busy during the day and the port was still under further expansion, the next day, Zhao Ji did not say goodbye to Wang Anshi, and before dawn, he ordered the mountain corps to set up camp and go to Keelung Port.

At dawn, a hundred troop carriers, led by Zhao Ji's ship, Dragon Boat, had sailed out of Keelung Port. After sailing for a day and a night, we finally arrived at the port of Quanzhou.

The port of Quanzhou is very large, and it has surpassed Guangzhou to become the third largest port city after Mingzhou and Shangjing. However, a large number of merchant ships were moored in the port, which seemed very crowded, and the troop carriers had to be arranged in a line shape and enter the port of Quanzhou in turn under the guidance of the watch ship.

At this moment, Zhao Ji led a mountain army composed of 30,000 Liuqiu tribes to arrive at the south gate of Quanzhou.

Zhao Ji had never been to Quanzhou before, and only knew the name Quanzhou in later history books, and knew that he was the largest port in China from the Song Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty.

Zhao Ji's arrival was very sudden, and Quanzhou Zhizhou did not come to greet him. Zhao Ji didn't bother to wait at the port, and came directly to the south gate of Quanzhou. Maybe in the port, Zhao Ji didn't notice anything unusual, but at this moment, Zhao Ji felt like he was in a foreign country. Because more than half of the people who come and go are not the faces of the Great Song people, and even almost all of them are not dressed in Song costumes.

Zhao Ji looked at the strange city wall of the south gate, on the city wall, the pattern of angels and crosses was inlaid with city bricks, and the south city gate was a pointed arch that was very different from the buildings of the Great Song Dynasty, with crosses and flames, crosses and lotus flowers inlaid on it, and there were more than 20 lines of ghost-like characters that Zhao Ji did not recognize.

When he saw that flame, Liu Qi, the commander of the Ming King Shadow Guard, and his two apprentices, Fang La and Shi Bao, hurriedly dismounted and knelt on the ground to worship.

Zhao Ji did not know that the lotus cross and the flame cross were the symbols of Nestorianism, a branch of Christianity that came from Persia. This kind of cross is known as the "Thorn Tong Cross", that is, the "Quanzhou Cross". The Arabic line he saw was a praise to "the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit."

Nestorianism is one of the three major religions in Persia, along with Wo and Manichaeism. Manichaeism is the development of Wo religion, while Mingism is the development of Manichaeism. Nestorianism originated in Syria as a Christian sect that split from the Eastern Roman Empire's Orthodox Church and was considered heretical by the Orthodox Church. Later, it found a large number of believers in Persia, renamed the Assyrian Church, and became one of the three major sects of Persia.

The three major sects of Persia and the three major sects of China are in general, and there is almost no distinction between you and me. Jing means light. Wo religion advocates light, Manichaeism also advocates light, and Mingjiao, which has the characteristics of the three major sects, also worships light, and there is a constantly burning tower on the top of the main altar of Mingjiao, and the holy flame that will never be extinguished inside is passed from Persia. The sacred flame of the Ming Sect of the Great Song Dynasty was passed from the top of the light.

Zhao Ji was an orphan in his later life, and a Christian took him in, and later sent him to an orphanage sponsored by the Christian Church, where Zhao Ji's childhood was spent. At that time, he also attended the choir of the Christian church and was baptized. But he was also a Christian, but not very religious. Because since he went to junior high school, all his tuition fees were provided by the state, until he graduated from college and joined the army. Slowly, Zhao became less and less interested in religion and became a true follower of Marx.

Although not religious, Zhao is very grateful to Christianity, and if it were not for the Christian's adoption, he might have frozen to death on the streets. After all, when Zhao Ji was young, China was still very backward, and the system in this area was not perfect. Therefore, after Zhao Ji became a special soldier and received a high salary, all of his first year's salary was donated to the Christian church where he joined the choir when he was a child, and his entire life was dedicated to the country.

When Zhao Ji saw the cross on the city gate, he was also secretly praying in his heart. It's just that Zhao Ji's prayer is in the wrong place, and Nestorianism is not the same as the Christianity he believed in in later generations.

After entering the city, the 30,000 mountain corps was stationed in the Quanzhou joint defense army. The joint defense force station, as the name suggests, is the barracks where the joint defense forces are stationed. After Zhao Ji carried out the reform of the military system, the number of joint defense forces was not large, and the Great Song Dynasty had a total of 100,000 joint defense troops, and ten regiments and towns were also set up, so the number of joint defense troops in various prefectures and counties was even smaller. The number of joint defense forces is small, but the barracks are very large, which is also for the convenience of troop transfer. In the event of a relatively large war, the joint defense force garrison can also recruit more civilians to join the army to participate in the war.

"What are you doing in Zhizhou? Why haven't I seen anyone yet? "After settling down the mountain corps, Zhao Ji intends to inspect Quanzhou, and the best guide is the Zhizhou of Quanzhou.

"Qiqi Sheng, Zhizhou is talking with the big cannibal about selling the temple and Taoist real estate." A small official replied.

"Oh, go check it out." Zhao Ji looked very surprised.

In the Song Dynasty, Quanzhou's social and economic prosperity, especially Quanzhou's overseas trade flourished, Buddhist monasteries accumulated huge wealth, and monks and good believers arose large-scale temple repair, tower building, and bridge building projects that had never been seen in history. The large-scale Buddhist temples left over from the Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties have been rebuilt, and many new temples have been built, such as Chongfu Temple, Nantian Temple, Fashi Temple and Xiaoxuefeng Temple, and the manna altar was built in Kaiyuan Temple in Quanzhou. Most of the magistrates in Quanzhou invited senior monks to rebuild the courtyard, changing the management of Buddhist monasteries.

However, since Zhao Ji appointed the two great teachers and abolished redundant monks, the two Buddhist and Taoist families have laid off a large number of employees, and all monks, Taoists, nuns, and female crowns who do not understand the scriptures must all be abolished. After the retrenchment, the temple was retained, and the property of the temple was divided equally among the people who were retrenched. The ones that were not dismantled were incorporated into larger temples.

As soon as this was abolished, many temples were left vacant, and the people had to go to the big temples if they wanted to make incense or something. Although the land of the big temple is taxable, because there are fewer temples, the incense of the big temple is more prosperous, and the incense money of the believers alone is enough to support the temple.

Moreover, the way of monks is not as simple as practice, and it is necessary to spread the scriptures, and various temples have opened lecture halls to give lectures to believers for free. At the same time, they also have to go from house to house, ask and record the people's living suffering, and after the people press their handprints, it is a merit. The monks and Taoists of this ritual department will supervise, those who preach the scriptures less, report less merits, and those that do not meet the standards of the temple must be re-assessed, and those who cannot pass must be returned to the layman.
