Chapter 739: Seeds

Zheng Lang was waiting for Zhao Zhen's words, and said slowly: "The core of the master's way is to enter the WTO, save the world, and govern the world. ”

This cannot be refuted, and some people even absolutely say that Taoism is born and Confucianism is said to be entered into the WTO, in order to make a difference, which is too general and not completely correct. However, Confucianism does talk about entering the WTO and ruling the world. The core of what Zheng Lang said is this entry and governance.

He also said: "In the Spring and Autumn Period, the royal family declined, and the rites collapsed, so the candidates fought for hegemony, the war was endless, the people were devastated, and the living beings regretted. Therefore, the master emphasized the etiquette law, many classics talked about etiquette, and the Spring and Autumn Period deliberately chose Zheng Zhuang Gongfu to raise his uncle as the beginning to show etiquette. ”

"Zhongye," Zhao Zhen said, after Zheng Lang's baptism of moderation, it is easy to understand this passage.

"If you want to rule the world, just one rite is not enough, so there is benevolence, happiness, wisdom, loyalty, and filial piety. However, the life span of a person is limited, and Confucianism is broad and profound, the master and son enlightened, and created Confucianism from scratch. Among them is the important Confucian mean, which is also compiled by later generations. If you want to rule the world, these are not enough, or the Master did not write them down in detail. ”

Although Mencius ridiculed the Mohist family for being a woman's benevolence, and even created all kinds of strange techniques to stop killing and stopping war, in fact, this is also a manifestation of Confucian benevolence, but it is biased towards one-sidedness, emphasizing benevolence and neglecting righteousness, so it becomes a woman's benevolence. However, although the strange and obscene skills of the Mo family are used to stop fighting and killing, they can also be used in people's livelihood. There is also a soldier, which is an academic extension from the Confucian law of the outer king in the peaceful world, the inner sage and the outer king. In addition, the importance of agricultural production by farmers is also a kind of governance. Legalists use cool laws to formulate rules, and it is a one-sided selection of Confucian righteousness and an extension of academics. This is where the other schools are weak and strong. ”

"The master will have time to correct and improve Confucianism in the future, but its purpose and idea is to enter the WTO to govern the world, and other schools have absorbed some one-sided essence from Confucianism, but can Confucianism draw the essence from these schools to feed Confucianism and make Master's scholarship more perfect? The way of the soldier, in fact, is also a branch of Confucianism. The peace of the world, the righteousness of benevolence and righteousness, and the king of the outer king, combined with the benevolence of Confucianism and the sacredness of the inner sage, will wage a reasonable war and avoid the phenomenon of reckless military dethronement. That is, Confucianism can cultivate soldiers, but it is Confucian soldiers who cultivate. ”

"Let's talk about the study of things. The Mohist strange and obscene skills are also selected by the Confucian Gewu Zhizhi, which may not be enough, but the Confucian Gewu Zhizhi is a major event that benefits the country and the people, such as these inventions, which can be used to defend the territory, such as medicines. It can be used to treat malaria, such as gunpowder, it can blow up mountains to open roads, and it is easy to mine. It is not a strange trick, it is used for fun, once it is used for people's livelihood, it is the avenue, the core of Confucianism, and the place where the world is governed. Therefore, the minister said that it is the core knowledge of Confucianism. ”

"It's also a cunning." Ouyang Xiu was angry. He has been angry since the early dynasty, and now he sees that the Confucianism in his heart has been misinterpreted by Zheng Lang to this point, and he can't bear it anymore and fights back.

"Uncle Ouyang Yong, whether it is a cunning or not, I have already written an article and submitted it to the newspaper, and you can also write an article to refute it. The same is true for academics, and it is also related to the university of governing the country. Zheng Lang smiled slightly.

In fact, it is also misinterpreted.

But it depends on what everyone thinks. However, with the invention of all kinds of powerful weapons and all kinds of useful things. In the end, when everyone sees the results, more people will acquiesce to their own misinterpretations.

Once the study of Gewu was truly incorporated into Confucianism. Instead of being a skillful and ingenious, let alone a craftsman, science can really be carried forward, and even a few years later, the imperial examination will regard the study of things as one of the examinations.

It is only at this point that the scientific outlook becomes brighter.

Even after his exposition is recognized by more people, the scholars can also be attributed to Confucianism, although slightly inferior to the scholars, but they will no longer be as despised by the literati as they are now.

If it is not corrected, it will not work, and even later, a small county can wipe Yue Fei's face.

Therefore, today's artillery, and the so-called core of Confucianism, is a seed planted for the future.

Ouyang Xiu could only retreat hatefully, thinking about how to refute Zheng Lang's words, anyway, the articles in the newspaper, Zheng Lang's can be published, and his own can also be published.

Zhao Zhen didn't care.

It is not only the academic conflict between Zheng Lang and Ouyang Xiu, but also the poetry style, the prose culture of articles, and the scriptures, which have brought forth the old and brought forth the new in recent years, resulting in countless controversies. In particular, in the newspapers, every issue saw the scholars spitting over these disputes.

Whose is it right, Zhao Zhen definitely did not interject. As Zheng Lang said, the more articles have been written in recent years, the better they have become, and Zhao Zhen's level can't be inserted if he wants to.

This time, Zheng Lang fought against Wen Yanbo and pulled Wen Yanbo off the horse alive, making many ministers gasp.

There are not many people who hate.

As far as the matter is concerned, Zheng Lang didn't care about the impeachment of Yanchen, hurriedly escaped from the front, returned to the capital from Tanzhou, went to the Liuta River to inspect, repeatedly reminded, and also said that he would correct his mistakes, and did not blame the prime ministers of the two governments.

But in order to shirk his responsibility, Wen Yanbo gave Di Qing all kinds of unnecessary hats to achieve the goal of diverting the attention of his subjects, which is not good. And this year, so many things happened, and it was impossible for the two governments to say that they were not wrong at all.

That's the case, Zheng Lang only pointed the finger at Wen Yanbo alone, and did not implicate him in any way.

Faintly, let everyone see the shadow of the gentle prime minister a few years ago, and some ministers still sighed in their hearts, too many things have happened in the past few years, if Zheng Lang is in the court, will it be like this?

Think well, if there is no matter of Nong Zhigao, Zheng Lang will control the two mansions, and if he stays any longer, the chaos will be even greater.

Zheng Lang reached his goal and was about to return to Tanzhou, and before leaving, he came to Di's house, and Di Qing was also packing his luggage and preparing to go to Yanzhou. I don't want to stay in the sad place of the capital anymore, so I took all my family and prepared to move to the northwest together.

Hearing Zheng Lang's arrival, the goalkeeper Zheng Lang was welcomed in.

After arriving in the middle hall, Di Qing bowed, gave a deep salute, and said, "Thank you Zheng Xianggong." ”

They were all ready to go to Chenzhou to wait for death, but they didn't expect Zheng Lang to return to Beijing for him, turn the tide and save him.

"Hanchen, don't be polite," Zheng Lang helped him up and said, "I'm going back too, I have a few words to tell you before leaving." ”

"Please."

"If I'm not mistaken, I will do it this winter."

"Zheng Xianggong, I also made some Anpai. Let the six secret agents secretly help each other and not hide the deceit. ”

"Do a good job, not only do you secretly help him at this time, but you also have to help him in the future. Liang Zuo is still young, but the time is very fast, once he grows up, he will have a conflict with Wu Zang Pang, and when the time comes, he will help Wu Zang Pang to kill Liang Zuo. Let Wu hide Pang had to usurp the Li family's foundation, then the name of Western Xia was not right. The chaos up and down is when I send troops to the court! ”

"Good plan."

"This is a matter of the future, and I said that for now, once there is no hidden and false Pang wins, in order to establish his authority, he will launch some small-scale battles against our dynasty that can be beared. When the time comes, you have to be able to fight back decisively. I will pay attention to this matter in the south, and when the time comes, I will help you send troops, and at the same time, I will write a memora and completely ban it. Then the scale of the fighting will not be very large, but it will be frequent for several months. In the end, the focus of the Western Xia was forced to shift to the south, so that the Western Xia and the Gang had a head-on conflict. Therefore, as soon as you go to the northwest, you must make some preparations. ”

Now Zheng Lang has lost his rights, but he can use Di Qing's hand. With some advances, it can also push the Song Dynasty border in a favorable direction.

Di Qing's trip to the northwest is not only beneficial to Di Qing himself, but also to Zheng Lang's promotion.

"Okay."

"Also, the prime ministers of the two governments have changed, Pang Ji has always been protective of you, and his return as prime minister is very beneficial to you. But you have to watch out for the other person. ”

"Who."

"Han Qi. Wen Yanbo instigated the minister to slander you, just to keep the prime minister's power. But Han Qi has always been very dissatisfied with you. ”

"Hmm." Di Qing was a little worried again.

"Don't worry. Don't underestimate Pang Alcohol. "Pang's return to the throne is also good for Zheng Lang, a court with smooth government decrees. It's also good to do things down there yourself. Since Pang went down, Zheng Lang has felt that he has encountered many difficulties in doing things. He added: "I will also write a letter to Han Qi to take care of one or two." ”

At the moment, he has broken his face with Wen Yanbo, but he has not broken his face with Han Qi for the time being. In the past, he had some friendship with Han Qi.

"Thank you."

"No thanks, take good care of your body," Zheng Lang said. Di Qing just didn't die inexplicably in Chenzhou, but he had many injuries on his body, and he had back gangrene, not a long-lived person, and Pang Ji also only had six or seven years to live.

And this Wen Yiwu is the minister that Zheng Lang really values.

Zheng Lang and Liu Chang went south.

Pang Ji returned to the capital, and as soon as he arrived in the capital, he asked Zhao Zhen to summon him into the palace, and said directly: "Pang Qing, Zheng Lang commented on your old spicy ginger, can you take it seriously?" ”

There are a few, how can Pang Ji not hear about such a big incident, knowing that he is the prime minister again, or Zheng Lang recommended him. He replied calmly: "Your Majesty, the minister is willing to make a piece of old ginger for Your Majesty." ”

Zhao Zhen was happy.

But the matter was not over, and then Wang Gong reported the accounts of the three divisions, and Zhao Zhen was shocked.

In a fit of rage, he made two personnel transfers in a row.

demoted Wang Gongchen to Chenzhou, instead of Di Qing going to Chenzhou, and then demoted Liu Xin to Ying Tianfu.

In fact, it is still some ghosts of scholars.

Wen Yanbo took the ministers to Di, only Liu Xin played alone, the imperial history went to His Majesty's generals, cut His Majesty's minions, this Cao plotted, and the ministers were unpredictable.

Di Qing is fake, and the uneasy kindness is real.

Therefore, he offended many scholars, and he was in Zhongshu, under the Fubi class, but above Wang Yaochen, there was a big black hole in the account book of the three divisions, Wen Yanbo had already gone down, and he had to be topped, so he let Liu Xin bar.

In the final analysis, Liu Xin lacked qualifications and slightly lacked political achievements, so Zhang Sheng took the lead, playing seventeen in a row, plus Liu Xin offended other ministers for Di Qing, and impeached him together, and soon got Liu Xin down.

Liu Xinxia, Zeng Gongliang Shang.

Then it was Wang Deyong's turn, Wang Deyong made the scholars and doctors afraid, and all the movements were echoed by the scholars, so that Wen Yanbo instigated, and Wang Deyong jumped up and down in the case of the emperor's heir, which was the most powerful. Zhao Zhen was quite dissatisfied, Zheng Lang said one thing. Why have so many things happened in the past year, but there are not many ministers who impeach the two governments? This is very abnormal. Even when Zheng Lang was the prime minister, he was often impeached by Yanchen, and what the two governments have done in the past year, how can it be the two governments of Zheng Lang in those years?

Therefore, let Wang De use it, and Jia Chang will face up.

It is used to balance the court.

Ouyang Xiu was not convinced, and presented one after another, Jia Changchao was treacherous, he was a villain, or he went back to the Daimyo's mansion, the world was very fortunate, and Zhao Zhen didn't pay attention to it. The treacherous villain will not waver at all to the current Zhao Zhen. What is a traitor and what is a gentleman? If you think about it, you're pretty much the same.

But it also brought trouble to Zheng Lang.

Pang Taishi is the prime minister again, and he is still making a piece of old ginger.

It is possible to degenerate, but Zheng Lang's sponsorship and Zhao Zhen's trust also forced him to continue to be Lao Jiang.

The finances are corrupted, and Wen Yanbo cannot be blamed for it. Since the time of Chen Zhizhong, the finances have gradually deteriorated, but at that time there were no major disasters and disasters, and the foundation was good, so I can't see it. This is quite like when Qianlong arrived in Jiaqing, Qianlong was blessed with a good grandfather and a good father. left a very thick foundation, and there was a traitor and Kun who would collect money, so it looked like a cluster of flowers, but by the time of Jiaqing, He Kun was beheaded, the treasury was empty, and the Qing Dynasty went downhill.

Reversed, it's not a big problem, it can't be reversed. The Song Dynasty would have a headache.

Pang began to reverse.

But this is not a one-day and one-month work, first of all, the officials, who have gradually become flooded in recent years. The origin of officials, one is the imperial examination, but only a part, and some are the sons of meritorious ministers or military generals, this part is mainly soldiers, and the last part is the shadow supplement.

If you want officials to be redundant, you can't miss the middle. Otherwise, the soldiers lack the motivation to work hard. Only two ends go, especially the latter. Recent. Because Fan Zhong drowned his head, the phenomenon of selling officials gradually appeared again. But it is not fatal, officials are divided into two kinds, one is no bad official, the other is bad official, although no bad official has an official position, but also takes part of the salary, the expenditure is not very large, especially there are bad officials, that is, regular officials, raising a bad official, an average of one person will get more than 2,000 yuan a year. It does not include additional subsidies such as invisible job fields.

However, Pang Ji didn't dare to come hard, he was too offended and didn't live long.

We can only take our time, prohibit the sale of officials, and the imperial examination is not held now, but gradually control the shadow supplement. The second is to control the bad officials, and dare not forcibly lay off the bad officials who have increased over the years, who is afraid of whom? Originally, when the ministers saw the prime minister, they had to bow and bow to show that the prime minister led the ministers, but since Zheng Lang and Fubi, this etiquette was gradually abolished. Don't dare to force the cut, so you can only control.

Some officials died of illness, or they were killed, but if the number of bad officials decreases and increases, the number can slowly decrease. This move was also inspired by Zheng Lang's army cut.

Continue to retain the right of some children of forbidden soldiers to participate in the forbidden army, but do not force or encourage it, but instead express support for the forbidden soldiers not allowing their children to participate in the forbidden army, and prohibit some additional sources of forbidden soldiers. Not many people were offended, and no violent measures were used, only those who were weak and sick or over 50 years old were persuaded to retreat, and only at the age of 60 were forcibly persuaded to retreat, but the number of forbidden troops was gradually controlled. Even in the three-year competition, some new soldiers of the forbidden army entered, the number was not large, and all of them were brave, which increased the actual combat effectiveness of the forbidden army.

This kind of gentle method is better, but there is a disadvantage, that is, it is very slow, especially for officials, without ten years of work, it is not effective. But who can guarantee that he can be prime minister for ten years, it is simply impossible!

It can only be said that the control is stronger than the flood of Chen Wen and the others.

The second is to reduce the indiscriminate rewards given to officials. This will be effective immediately, but it will offend people too much. Helplessly, the finances are tight, and I have to do it. Especially on New Year's Day, Pang Ji controlled the reward and mourned all over the field, causing a protest.

When you make old ginger, you can only be spicy to the end. Be a wicked person.

And then there's efficiency.

This is a very capable minister, quite similar to Lu Yijian, Zheng Lang is doing it, and he is also watching.

Zheng Lang may not do much well, and he may not learn all of them, but he makes up for the two, and he is not worse than Zheng Lang. Or, only those golden fingers of Zheng Lang are missing, and other aspects may be slightly above Zheng Lang.

This efficiency is important.

In particular, the Song Dynasty had redundant officials and redundant administration, redundant political affairs, and poor work efficiency, which would form a serious waste.

The simplest example, when the political affairs are smooth, a bucket of grain to the front line is less than 300 wen, but if the political affairs are not smooth, it can reach a sky-high price of more than 1,000 wen. It is not necessarily all corruption, most of it is that the political affairs are not smooth, and the same bucket of grain is transported to the front line in 50 days and 100 days, and the waste formed will be worlds apart.

This is how money is saved.

Often a small sum of money, hundreds, thousands, but tens of thousands of dollars saved, it will be a very staggering number.

However, it takes time.

In fact, aside from the bitter and miserable north, the south began to get better, and a large number of immigrants reduced the land pressure on Fujian Road, and even included Jiangnan Xichong and Liangzhejiang Road, and the land pressure was all released.

There were also disasters and floods in Liangguang, and some people were not adapted to the water and soil, which brought some constraints, but the loose land, advanced farming technology, and the hard work of the people, especially the Han households, compared to the Han households, the barbarians were indeed very lazy. This year, there was finally a bumper harvest in Liangguang.

has begun to benefit the imperial court.

However, there are more messes than good phenomena, no one dares to mention the Liuta River anymore, and it can't be allowed to flow vigorously, and it has to be forcibly opened so that the Yellow River water will not flow back to this point, impacting Shang Huxi. The opening should not be too small, otherwise the upstream water will not be drained and the embankment will be washed away. In history, the Liuta River was not so large-scale, but the trouble was smaller, and now the scale of the Liuta River is far greater than in history, and the trouble is even greater. Not only the Liuta River, but also Shanghu Si once again opened a new river, and the entire river from Lanzhou to the Daimyofu was repeatedly dismembered by the chaotic river.

Now the Khitan army will not go to Shanzhou, otherwise the DPRK and China will not be in a hurry, and the diversion of the Yellow River one after another will become the best moat.

A large number of victims of the disaster had to be resettled, not only those who were affected by the breach of the embankment in Shanghusi, but also by waterlogging and the bursting of the embankment in many areas, and the number of victims of the disaster as a whole reached hundreds of thousands of households and millions of people.

Pang Ji did not come forward, found the new third envoy Zhang Fangping, and asked Zhang Fangping to write a letter to Zheng Lang to save the province for me.

Zheng Lang had to ask for it, and Pang Ji would squeeze it, but after receiving Zheng Lang's affection, the tone of discussion asked Zheng Lang to save money for the imperial court.

But it shows that Pang Ji is doing well.

At least not to lose yourself because of the right.

It is also an important seed.

Zheng Lang is not the only one to be a good prime minister, Pang Ji can also be a good prime minister. So why do other people do not do well, incompetent also.

Of course, many things happened after Zheng Lang arrived in Tanzhou.

All the way to the south, there are still many affairs in Tanzhou.

Liu Chang has been in a bad mood.

Zheng Lang called him over and asked, "Original father, you are Wang Boyong's brother-in-law, and Boyong usually talks to you about my personality." Why do I want justice for Di Qing? ”

"I don't know." Liu Chang can't answer, Di Qing is your favorite general, of course he is short.

"How much silk was spent on a Qingli war, not only the money spent, because there were 300,000 soldiers stationed on the front line, plus the delivery of materials for the front line, at least 800,000 people delayed production, that is, more than one million households were directly dragged down by the war, how many households were there in the Song Dynasty? Not to mention the enormous costs of the war. If the front is unstable, how can the rear be treated? Of course, if the rear is not governed, how can the front win? The two are mutually reinforcing. Although the ancestral legal system controlled the rights of military generals to prevent the rebellion of Anshi and the division of feudal towns, it was only moderation, and it could not be considered that military generals were useless. ”

"Di Qing is only demoted."

"Why did Di Qing take the initiative to ask for orders to go to the northwest, but Wen Yanbo disagreed, so he had to go to Chenzhou?"

"The Northwest is ......"

"Don't, don't you also take out Wen Yanbo's rhetoric, who believes it? Also, you said that you would rather lose Di Qing than the country, can I explain it like this, I would rather lose Di Qing, and I would rather let Di Qing die than bear the doctor. ”

"I'm not talking about letting Di Qing die, let alone talking about the doctor."

"How negative is that? Burning paper money has become a strange light, wearing an ordinary yellow clothes, and turning into the imperial robe of Taizu, which seems to be a big crime to exterminate the nine clans. Also, does this country refer to the Zhao family, the people of the world, or the group of scholars? ”

"You can't misinterpret it."

"Then why can you misinterpret Di Qing? Could it be that I am inferior to you, and you are nobler than Di Qing? ”
