There is a tallest building in the Gewu College called Tianyi Pavilion, which is actually the library in the college, Zhao Yan heard of the name of the Tianyi Pavilion collection of books in later generations, and Tiansheng water, which means that it can be fireproof, which is just right for the library, so he copied this name and built this very famous library in the city of Tokyo.

Tianyi Pavilion actually refers to a library complex, according to the different classification of books, respectively hidden in different sub-pavilions, there is a long corridor between the sub-pavilion and the sub-pavilion, which can be used by borrowing people to walk through it, and in the middle of Tianyi Pavilion, is the general pavilion of the library, where the more advanced books in the various classified books are stored, less than a certain level can not be borrowed, in addition, the general pavilion of Tianyi Pavilion is also the highest building in the Gewu College, a total of five floors, in fact, the construction of this general pavilion is not long, The interior uses cement invented by Zhao Yan as a building material, otherwise it would not be able to support such a huge building.

The top floor of the Tianyi Pavilion is the highest point of the college, standing here can overlook the entire college, but unfortunately there are some rare books or even solitary books stored here, the whole college can enter here, all of them are recognized as erudite and Confucian, so the top floor of the general pavilion has always been the holy place in the minds of the students of the college, looking forward to one day being recognized by the college, so that you can enter the top floor of the general pavilion and freely read the books inside.

Today is the third heavy snow after the beginning of winter, the goose-feather snow is fluttering, and after a while, the whole land will be dyed a piece of silver white, and the Gewu College has long been on winter vacation, but there are also some students who have not gone home for some reason, so when they live in the college, they usually occasionally come to the library to borrow some books to read. However, due to the heavy snowfall today, there are almost no people in the library, and the four floors below the main pavilion are even more deserted.

The whole pavilion is octagonal, and the eight corners of the fifth floor are separated from a separate room for people who come here to study, but in the compartment due north, it is very lively today. I saw a steaming hot pot on the table used for reading in the middle of the compartment, yes, it was a hot pot, not a book that should appear here, there were all kinds of dishes around the hot pot, and there were even two open small wine jars on the ground.

Zhao Yan, Su Shi, Shen Kuo, Zhang Zai, and Li Gonglin sat around the table, chatting and tasting delicious food, and accompanied by the snow scene outside the window, it was really a great enjoyment of life.

Today, Su Shi and Li Gonglin came to Zhao Yan together. It just so happened that Zhao Yan wanted to go to Shen Kuo to discuss the affairs of the academy again, so the three of them came here together, but they didn't expect Zhang Zai to be there, the five of them were almost all top figures in all aspects of this era, and it was rare to encounter snow again, so Zhao Yan took a few drinks, and the other four people readily agreed.

It just so happened that Zhao Yan knew that the top floor of the library was a good place to enjoy the snow, so he had to come up. Su Shi and Li Gonglin also followed suit, but Shen Kuo couldn't stop it. So the five of them set up the banquet here, fortunately there was no one today, otherwise if the students knew that Zhao Yan was eating and drinking in the holy land in their minds, I am afraid that they would all be shocked.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the DPRK and China are now arguing about the matter of Jiaozhi, do you have any opinions on this?" At this time, Su Shi suddenly asked. During this time, the most lively topic in the Great Song Shilin is naturally the matter of Jiaozhi, as long as more than two scholars get together, they will definitely talk about it, and Su Shi and they are naturally no exception.

"Isn't there already news circulating in the DPRK and China, and the officials are very angry at the despicable and shameless of Jiaozhi. Even if Guo Xuanwei captured the Shenglong Mansion, it still couldn't calm the anger of the officials, so the officials planned to let Jiaozhi cede the land and pay compensation this time, but some ministers in the court thought that this was against the benevolence of the saints, so they resolutely refused to allow it, which almost caused the anger of the officials. At this time, Shen Kuo drank a glass of wine and said, although he resigned and did not do anything, but the news was very well-informed, and there was almost nothing to hide from him from what happened in the court.

"I've also heard about this matter, but if you want me to say, it's a little cheap for them to make the compensation for the land cution of Jiaozhi, and the official family should order Guo Xuanwei to march south again, directly destroy Jiaozhi, catch Li Rizun and send him to the capital, and let him be with Li Liangzuo!" When Li Gonglin, the youngest and hot-blooded, heard Shen Kuo's words, he immediately stood up excitedly and said, but his words were more impulsive than rational, so even if he heard it, he must not take it seriously.

"The difference between the official family and the minister, in fact, to put it bluntly, is nothing more than the difference between the outer saint and the outer king and the inner saint, speaking of which, my Great Song Dynasty has always pursued the law of the outer saint and the inner king, not to mention it internally, but a small country like Jiaozhi is not grateful at all, but thinks that my Great Song Dynasty is weak and can be bullied, so the official family will be so angry, this time to Jiaozhi a hard lesson, but also let those other small countries understand, the consequences of my Great Song Dynasty's anger, so I think it is still necessary for the official family to let Jiaozhi cede land compensation, In addition, I plan to write an article about my views and publish them in the newspaper, hoping to get more support from people of insight. At this time, Su Shi thought for a moment and finally expressed his position, and was also willing to publicly support Zhao Shu.

"King Jun, you are the son of His Majesty, and you often correspond with the crown prince, what do you think about this matter?" As soon as Su Shi's words fell, Zhang Zai, who had not spoken, suddenly looked at Zhao Yan and smiled, but there seemed to be an inexplicable meaning in his smile.

"Ahem~, I naturally support my father's decision, the little Jiaozhi dared to be so rampant before, if I don't teach them a lesson, I'm afraid that any small country will dare not take my Da Song in the eyes in the future!" Under Zhang Zai's gaze, Zhao Yan coughed dryly and said, he always felt that Zhang Zai seemed to have seen something, did he already know that he proposed the construction of the land cut compensation?

"Hehe, the king of the county and Brother Zizhan both mentioned one point, that is, to use the matter of Jiaozhi to deter the surrounding small countries, this is probably the main reason why His Majesty resolutely demanded the compensation of Jiaozhi's land, and I also support this very much, but this is indeed against the way of forgiveness of the saint, so if you want to pass Guò in the court, I am afraid it is not an easy task!" After listening to Zhao Yan's words, Zhang Zai glanced at him meaningfully, and then echoed with a smile.

"You see, we can all understand the painstaking efforts of the official family, and we all support the official family's methods, but why don't those ministers understand?" Li Gonglin said again at this time, and even when he mentioned those ministers, he showed an expression of hatred and disdain, if it was according to his thoughts, the imperial court should have cleaned up those stubborn ministers a long time ago, so as not to hinder the implementation of some decrees, but the young Li Gonglin did not realize at this time that sometimes if there is no opposition in a political system, it is actually a very terrible thing.

"This is the way things are in the court, no matter how good the decree is, there is no shortage of opposing voices, some are really opposed, some are pretending to be opposed, and some are opposed for no reason, if you enter the officialdom in the future, you will understand." Shen Kuo said to Li Gonglin with a smile at this time, Li Gonglin is young among several people, but Li Gonglin has also been admitted to the Jinshi the year before last, and he may be out at any time, Shen Kuo is very optimistic about Li Gonglin, so he woke up.

"Alas, I've heard a long time ago that officialdom is complicated and difficult to understand, and it seems that this is really the case!" Li Gonglin couldn't help but sigh when he heard Shen Kuo's words, although he hadn't entered the officialdom yet, he already had some shadows on the officialdom, and he didn't know if he would be able to adapt to the deception in the officialdom in the future?

"I don't know what is going on in officialdom, so I decided to stay away from officialdom, but I think this matter can be solved outside the officialdom." At this time, Zhao Yan suddenly said with a smile.

"Oh, is there any good way for the county king?" Su Shi couldn't help but ask in surprise when he heard this, and Shen Kuo and the others next to him were also attracted by Zhao Yan's words, and they all looked at him curiously.

"Hehe, didn't Brother Zizhan say just now, you plan to write your own views into an article and publish it in the newspaper, in that case, then why don't we publish this matter in the newspaper and let the people of the world discuss it together, especially those ministers who oppose the DPRK and China, and even quote their opposing words to the newspaper to see if we can convince the people of the world?" Zhao Yan smiled very sinisterly.

The vast majority of ordinary people do not have the great mind of repaying grievances with virtue, especially in order to divert the attention of the people of the world, Zhao Yantong guò newspaper publicized many crimes of Jiaozhi, which also made the Song people hate the Jiaozhi people very much, so if the ministers of the DPRK and China oppose the reparation of the land of Jiaozhi, I am afraid that these people will be scolded by the people of the world, so Zhao Yan's method is good, but it is a little too insidious.

"This method is good, I will discuss this matter with Brother Ziyou after I go back, and don't forget Brother Zizhan's article when the time comes, publish it in the newspaper together, or even make a column!" Li Gonglin immediately clapped his hands when he heard Zhao Yan's words, he and Su Zhe were jointly responsible for the distribution of the newspaper, but he didn't expect the newspaper to have such a role.

"The king of the county can't, it's a bit too much!" However, at this time, Shen Kuo was shocked and said, "I think it is better to publish the matter of the imperial court's intention to let Jiaozhi cede the land and pay compensation in the newspaper for the time being, and let the people of the world discuss it first, there is no need to rush to stab the ministers who oppose the court and the central government to the newspaper, and when the public opinion in the world is formed, I am afraid that no one will dare to oppose it again." ”

Scholars cherish their reputation the most, if they follow Zhao Yan's approach, I am afraid that the reputation of those who oppose the minister will be ruined, so Shen Kuo will stop it, so as not to make things out of control, Zhang Zai and Su Shi also agreed, which made Zhao Yan and Li Gonglin a little disappointed, and finally had to agree to Shen Kuo's method.
