Chapter 363 Special Administrative Region

Lu Xiufu and Tian Xiuyan came to Shifeng at dinner,

"I've seen Childe."

"Well, Lord Lu, let me introduce you, these two are the Miao family's Hongyuan Great Wizard and Tian Jingtou, the cottage where the Great Wizard is located is located on the east bank of the Huangni River, about ten miles away after crossing the river is the original Dali boundary, Hongyuan Great Wizard with the help of Tian Jingtou people, will form a Miao army of about 5,000 people in the cottage, about the specific affairs of this army, Hongyuan Great Wizard and Tian Jingtou will discuss with you tomorrow."

"Yes, Childe."

"Tian Zuiyan, in the past few days, you have taken the time to accompany a few distinguished guests to the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Agriculture to see if they have anything to support, and by the way, take a stroll in Lin'an City and enjoy the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River."

"Yes, Childe."

"Ling'er, your task is to discuss with Tian Jingtou and the Great Wizard Hongyuan about opening a Hope School and a Hope Medical Hall with them."

"Well, Ling'er knows."

"Okay, everyone, I'm sure we're all hungry, let's talk while we eat."

More than a dozen people gathered around a table, but it was also quite lively, the people present took Jiang Yang as the most knowledgeable wizard, and the story of the Miao family was different from the legend of the Han people, everyone listened to Jiang Yang talk about his young travel experience while eating, and he listened to it with relish, even I, a traveler from eight hundred years later, also felt more and more interested,

In mid-July, Cai Chang, who had a clear understanding of the work processes of various departments in the Great Song Dynasty, came to the imperial study of the Funing Palace, accompanied by Wen Tianxiang, president of the Military Affairs Academy, and Zhao Shunsun, academician.

As a provincial (road) level civil service envoy, Cai Chang can be said to be the first person to enter my imperial study.

"See the Emperor."

"Well, excuse me, ladies and gentlemen, please take a seat."

"Your Majesty."

"Cai Aiqing, I am already clear about the government affairs of our dynasty."

"Your Majesty, the ministers are clear."

"Okay." I nodded and said, "Song Rui, has Cai Aiqing's return to Ryukyu been arranged?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, it has been arranged, this time there are a total of seventy-two officials who will go to Ryukyu Province with Lord Cai, covering almost all the departments of our dynasty, and the time for these officials to work in Ryukyu Province is tentatively set for two years, and after two years, if the institutions of Ryukyu Province can operate normally, they will return to Lin'an."

"Well, in addition to assisting Cai Aiqing in building the provincial-level institutions of Ryukyu Province, the officials who support the Ryukyus Province must also focus on cultivating a group of local officials who can take over the work, and the construction of the Ryukyus ultimately depends on the Ryukyu people."

"Your Majesty rest assured, these officials are already clear about their duties, in accordance with Your Majesty's instructions, in addition to the seventy-two officials, thirty Taixue students have also been selected from the Taixue Wai Dormitory to go to the Ryukyus to open schools in order to spread the culture of our dynasty, Your Majesty, in order to make the administrative affairs of the Ryukyu Province normal as soon as possible, and also to have a direct understanding of the overseas provinces of our dynasty, Lord Zhao will go in person this time."

"Yes, it's just that Zhao Aiqing can't wait for two years in Ryukyu Province." I smiled, "Zhao Aiqing, I won't give you such a long time to be out of the house, the affairs of the Government Council itself are heavy enough, plus the reform of the provincial system has to be carried out, and I plan to remove the Zhongshu Province next year, and by then, there will be more affairs of the Government Council, so Zhao Aiqing, you need to return to Lin'an before February next year at the latest." ”

"Yes, I obey."

"Cai Aiqing, after you go back, in addition to improving the institutions at all levels in Ryukyu Province, you must also communicate more with the people in Shannan, Zhongshan and Shanbei on the original island, although they are considered to have submitted to our dynasty, but they are subdued by the military power of our dynasty, so you have to spend more time and energy, let them know that following the Great Song Dynasty, they will definitely live a better life than the original son, Cai Aiqing, the original five forces in Ryukyu Province, you need to unite all the forces that can be united, and for those who have bad intentions, you must resolutely crack down, I believe that as long as it takes another twenty or thirty years, the people of Ryukyu will be sinicized, and I have said that Aiqing will do this, which is undoubtedly the merit of opening up the territory and expanding the territory. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, the minister understands."

"Cai Aiqing, Ryukyu Province is the first province of our dynasty overseas, I and the imperial court have no experience in this area, which may encounter some unexpected incidents, which requires you to deal with it flexibly without violating the principle of our dynasty system, as for the grasp of this flexible scale, I can't quantify it for a while, you can only rely on your own exploration, I think that this general principle should be, maintain the unity of our dynasty, develop the local economy and promote people's livelihood, and abide by the laws of our dynasty." I said to Zhao Shunsun again, "Zhao Aiqing, you are a jinshi of our dynasty, you are well versed in the culture of our dynasty, and you have been an official in the court for many years, in this regard, you have to work with Cai Aiqing to formulate relevant local regulations according to the actual situation of the local area, and I will treat Ryukyu Province as the first special zone of our dynasty." ”

"Special Zone."

"Well, the so-called special zone means that compared with other provinces (roads), it has more autonomy, that is, it can formulate a series of local regulations according to local conditions to make up for the lack of laws and systems in our dynasty.

Zhao Shunsun and Cai Chang glanced at each other and said, "Yes, Your Majesty." ”

"Song Rui, your government affairs yuan should also consider it, maybe there will be more special zones in the future."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Zhao Shunsun said: "Your Majesty, the minister will go to Ryukyu Province with Lord Cai, and the minister has something else to report." ”

"Aiqing, please speak."

"Your Majesty, most of the academicians of the Military Affairs Yuan are concurrently served by the envoys of the major military regions, and they are away all the year round, and the Military Affairs Yuan often seems to be understaffed.

"Wang Lixin."

Zhao Shunsun said: "Your Majesty, this Wang Lixin in the sixth year of Chunyou (1246 AD) ascended to the Jinshidi, once won the first emperor Li Zong appreciated and said, 'this handsome talent also', awarded Wujiang book, Zhitongcheng County, sentenced to Jiankang Jinghu system envoy, Jingding three years (AD 1262) changed to know Jiangzhou, as the deputy envoy along the river, and then served as the pacification envoy of Jiangxi Xi, Jinghu South Road pacification envoy, etc., this person is upright, rigorous in governing the army, and through the art of war, and then because of the dispute between Ma Guangzu and Zhao Kui. ”

Although I don't have any impression of Wang Lixin, I know Zhao Shunsun, and the person he recommends is by no means incompetent, and the Military Affairs Yuan is indeed as Zhao Shunsun said, there are not enough academicians: "Okay, Xiao Qi, pass on the decree, and order Wang Lixin to go to the Military Affairs Yuan to report, let Lu Xiufu examine it, and transfer his files and me from the Ministry of Officials." ”

"Yes, official."

Wang Lixin in history was a loyal man in the late Southern Song Dynasty, so much so that the generalissimo of the Mongol invasion of the Song Dynasty, Boyan, also sighed for it, and said: "The Song Dynasty is a person, and there is a word, so that the fruit is used, and I have been able to do it so far." According to the history of the Song Dynasty, in 1275, Wang Lixin, who had served as the secretary of the Ministry of War, was re-employed by the imperial court, served as a Jianghuai envoy along the Yangtze River, and was edicted to say, Lixin abandoned his wife and son and rushed to Jiankang, the defenders were defeated, and the department was transferred to Gaoyou, hearing that Jia seemed to be defeated in Wuhu, and the Jianghan guards looked at the wind and fled, knowing that the general trend was irretrievable, it was a generous sad song, and the great mourning said: "I still have to die in the Song Dynasty today", and died of chokeness, Wang Lixin was separated from Jia Nidao in Wuhu, even Jia Nidao also cried and said goodbye: "No need to say it publicly, so that's it." ”

Of course, none of this will happen again,

After Cai Chang and the others left, Gonggong Zhou came to report: "Official, General Wenzhang is asking to see you outside the palace." ”

"Wenzhang, let him in."

After a while, Gonggong Zhou came to the imperial study with Wenzhang,

"The last general, Wen Zhang, see Your Majesty."

I smiled and said, "Wenzhang, what's the matter?" ”

Wen Zhang said: "Your Majesty, the last general received a letter from the family master yesterday, asking the last general to ask Your Majesty if you can ask for leave around the ninth day of September this year and return to Longhu Mountain." ”

"Of course, Wenzhang, do you know why?"

"Your Majesty, the last general doesn't know why."

Yuan Jian said: "Your Majesty, it must be for the sake of discussing the Dao that Wen Zhang went back to observe." ”

"On the word."

Yuan Jian smiled: "Your Majesty, the minister originally planned to inform Your Majesty next month, and then the minister will also go to Longhu Mountain, Your Majesty, every ten or twenty years, the top masters in the martial arts will gather in Longhu Mountain, competitive competition, because it is sponsored by the Dragon and Tiger Sect, so it is called the Dragon and Tiger Mountain Commentary, according to legend, this is more than a hundred years ago by a certain Heavenly Master of the Dragon and Tiger Sect founded, at that time, that generation of Zhang Tianshi inadvertently obtained a martial arts secret book, but could not understand it, so he invited three top masters to Dragon Tiger Mountain to study together, How do you know that the views of the three people are completely different, and the words are not in agreement, they actually fight, the result is that the winner is not divided, so they meet, ten years later, and then compete in Longhu Mountain, and ask Zhang Tianshi of that generation to serve as an arbitrator, since then, the custom has been formed in the martial arts, every ten years, sometimes there are twenty years, such as this time there is an interval of twenty years, still by the Dragon and Tiger Sect as the host, invite the top masters in the martial arts, go to the Dragon and Tiger Mountain to compete in martial arts. ”

I said secretly, "Isn't this Huashan Sword?" ”

Wen Zhang was quite excited: "Mr. Yuan, it turns out that this is the case, there must be many masters to participate." ”

"Wen Zhang, there are only a handful of masters in the world, how can there be many."

"Mr. Yuan, what are the masters?"

Yuan Jian said: "It should be one temple and one alliance, Tianya, Emperor Valley and your master Dao Master." ”

I said, "Why, people will come to the end of the Mongolian world." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, the five recognized masters of martial arts today are Master Yunkong, the host of the Dharma Academy of Shaolin Temple, the Tianya Divine Venerable Yin Tianya, the leader of the Heavenly Dao Alliance, the 'Boss', the Dragon and Tiger Sect Master, and Weichen."

"Sir, what about twenty years ago, who were the masters who participated?"

"Your Majesty, there were Shaolin Yunkong, Yin Tianya, the boss and Weichen's senior brother Huoli who participated in the discussion twenty years ago, and the Taoist master at that time was not a scattered person of the Dragon and Tiger Sect, and he could not play according to custom, so he did not participate.

The battle of peerless masters is rare to see,

I thought for a moment and said, "Sir, Wenzhang, I will go with you then." ”

Wen Zhang said: "Okay, Your Majesty can just go to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Xialonghu Mountain." ”

I saw Yuan Jian bow his head and ponder, so he said, "Sir, is there anything wrong?" ”

"Your Majesty, the end of the Mongolian seal will also go, and the minister is worried about ,,,,,。"
