Chapter 32: Banishment
Zhang Yubo resigned as Yin of Jiangning Mansion at the beginning of the year, but the old man's performance was returned. Although Zhang Yubo said that he was ill after resigning from the position of Yin of Jiangning Mansion, he has always held the title of the Imperial History of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
The relationship between Zhang Yubo and Lin Jian is also a friendship and a political feud; At the beginning of his tenure as the Yin of Jiangning Mansion, because of the abnormally high grain prices at that time, he took Gu Tianqiao, who was closely related to the Huaidong family at that time, and was also a high-ranking official above the temple who had openly resisted Lin Tie's control of the government.
After the government of the government, Lin Tie made Zhang Yubo go up from the position of Yin in Jiangning Mansion, which was actually to cut off his real power, but he returned Zhang Yubo's invitation to the old - in the eyes of the people, it was more that Lin Tie was a and a son, and he also wanted to set up a memorial arch, and he wanted to set up Zhang Yubo in the temple as a decoration to show his tolerance.
When the Jeju Governor's Office was officially established, in addition to military and political officials, it was natural to send additional supervision officials.
The Jeju Governor's Office is directly under the central government, and is equivalent in rank to the county divisions, so the Governor's Office is equivalent to the Xuanfu Envoy Division, and is also established according to the county division, such as the Prosecutor's Division, the Criminal Division, the Military Preparedness Division, and the Municipal Taxation Division.
Although the military and political level of the Jeju Governor's Office is high, in the eyes of the world who learned that the center has such an enclave overseas only a few years later, what is the difference between Jeju and the remote and backward areas under the jurisdiction of Quang Nam County, such as Leiju and Qiongju, which are full of miasma?
Leizhou and Qiongzhou have always been places to belittle officials, and Zhang Yubo used to be in a high position in Jiangning Mansion, so he was expelled from the center and let the localities, even if it was Hangyang and other places, all of them were derogatory, not to mention the overseas flying soil and miasma that were thousands of miles away?
Almost everyone thought that Lin Jian had finally been ruthless to Zhang Yubo and exiled him overseas this time.
Zhang Yubo, Zhao Shuhan and others, even if they have a deeper understanding of Huaidong than others, are limited; In their minds, Jeju is at most a desolate port with ships anchored, and it may be more lively than a wild place, but they can't imagine the prosperity of Jeju.
Zhang Yubo, at the beginning of the appointment, also thought that Lin Jian was determined to kick him away this time, and even wrote a letter to Lin Jian with sincere words, hoping to make his family stay in Jiangning, and he went to Jeju alone to take up his post.
He was mentally prepared to die in a foreign land.
Lin Jian read Zhang Yubo's letter, and angrily and annoyed, he sent someone to throw the letter back, telling him that even if he was exiled to the army, his wife also needed to be served by the law.
Kicked to Jeju with Zhang Yubo and went to work with his wife and children, as well as Fan Jiliang, Chen Zhen and others.
Fan Jiliang and Chen Mingzhe are old and used to be the staff of former Prime Minister Chen Xiyan; After the Jiangning War, he and Chen Enze served as the left and right ministers of Jiangning Mansion.
Chen Zhen is the second son of Chen Xiyan, and he was promoted in the same department as Lin Lian, but he failed to be admitted to the scholar the following year, and then the scientific examination was stopped. After the Jiangning War, Chen Zhen was a doctor in the household department because of the shadow attack on the middle doctor, and this time he asked Lin Jian to directly name Jeju to work.
Fan Jiliang was appointed as the deputy chief of the inspection and concurrently led the trial and criminal department, and Chen Yu was appointed as the supervisor of the municipal tax department, which were all idle official positions that could not grasp the military and political power of Jeju.
Zhao Shuhan took the initiative to ask to go to Jeju to take up his post; It's not that he yearns for Jeju, but after Zhang Yubo, Fan Jiliang, Chen Zhen and others kicked to Jeju, he stayed in Jiangning alone, and he couldn't even find a friend who drank tea and wine, and he felt that he was also hated by Lin Binding, so it was better to exile himself and come to Jeju to share weal and woe.
Zhang Yubo, Fan Jiliang, Chen Zhen and others, including Zhao Shuhan, traditionally belonged to the imperial party and were determined to maintain the rule of the Yuanyue Imperial Family.
During the Jiangning War, Emperor Yongxing abandoned the capital and fled, and they all had integrity, so they stayed to help Chen Xiyan stay alone in Jiangning; After that, they not only despaired of Emperor Yongxing, but also parted ways with Cheng Yuqian, Yu Xinyuan, Zhang Yan and other imperial figures.
After the Jiangning War, Lin Jian was the first to get Jiangning, and he couldn't fully grasp the overall situation, so he also had to use them to balance the relationship between Huaidong and the old figures of the imperial party, but they actually had an embarrassing position in Jiangning where their grandmothers were not close and their uncles were not loved.
Jing Xiang's great victory, as well as Zuo Chengmu, Hu Xuemu, Yue Lengqiu and other bigwigs, either openly or covertly fell to Huaidong, making Huaidong occupy the absolute initiative both militarily and politically, and Lin Jian no longer needed to look at the face of the imperial party.
Giving Jiuxi and opening the government system opened the prelude to the governance of the government - Lin Jian no longer needed Zhang Yubo, Fan Jiliang, Chen Yu and others to stay in the center to balance the relationship between the government and the imperial party.
Zhang Yubo, Zhao Shuhan, Fan Jiliang, Chen Zhen and others were exiled and left Jiangning with their families in early May, and their thoughts were somewhat tragic and generous, and they also drank farewell wine with Jiangning's friends, and boarded a ship directly from Jiangning, and crossed the ocean to Jeju, when the prosperous scene of Jeju City in Jiangning, instead of the wild and miasma land they imagined, appeared before their eyes, and almost blinded their eyes.
At this time, what unfolds in front of them is not a group of boring data, but a vivid, touchable, and prosperous face corresponding to the data.
Every year, about 10,000 loads of raw silk, 200,000 baskets of tea, 2 million pieces of grain for stone, millions of pounds of iron, millions of pounds of salt, nearly 2 million baskets of coal, millions of pounds of copper, hundreds of thousands of horses of new cloth, tens of thousands of horses of lake silk, dozens of boats of porcelain, dozens of ships of cane sugar, tens of thousands of mules and horses, 100,000 pieces of leather, tung oil, animal mane and other bulk goods are transited at the port of Jeju or directly traded in Jeju City.
Jeju is a core transit port, connecting Goryeo, Fusang, and Yiju, as well as Chongju, Myeongju, Gangning, Haeju, Quanzhou, and Jin'an in the Central Plains. Not only the goods imported from Goryeo and Fusang to the Central Plains and the Central Plains to Goryeo and Fusang had to be transferred from Jeju, but the trade of goods between Goryeo and Fusang also needed to be transferred by the Economic State, and Jeju was asked to share the profits.
All clubs and businesses that pass through the Haedong Commercial Road need to be registered in Jeju and set up a guild hall for contact......
It is these that have created a strange prosperity in Jeju in just ten years.
The abundant source of municipal tax provided sufficient money for the construction of Jeju Fortress, and the construction of a completely new place enabled Jeju Fortress to break away from its conventions and traditions, and to fully demonstrate many new craftsmanship and new materials collected from overseas in the construction of Jeju Fortress.
sound municipal planning and road construction; Due to the shortage of leased land at the beginning, the government and private houses in Jeju City broke the traditional tiled courtyard shape and adopted a compact pattern of two to three floors with buildings next to each other. In addition, the Governor's Palace, Huaidong Qianzhuang, Heishui Foreign Boat Society, Public School, Medical Center, Commercial Society Museum and other government and private institutions were built in the city to be extra majestic and magnificent - the exterior walls were uniformly plastered with white plaster, making the whole city under the green mountains, like a sparkling gray-white lake.
The entire coastline of Jeju Port is more than ten miles long, even more spectacular than Chongju Port, and can berth three or four hundred large maritime merchant ships at the same time; In the summer, nearly 300 large sea vessels are stationed in Jeju to wait for the storm season to pass.
The main long streets in the city are all cast iron columns, with glazed headlights on the top, thinking that the street is on fire; Because the port was anchored with merchant ships that came across the sea, they brought a large number of business travelers, making Jeju inns, tea shops, wineries, Goolan, and dance pavilions prosperous, and even less than Jiangning after the war.
Of course, in addition to maritime merchants and homeless households, Zhejiang and Fujian scribes who had been forced to come to Jeju to earn a living after a long period of scientific research had been abandoned, and were hired by merchants to come to Jeju to engage in calculations and other things. Even though they read Confucianism in the old days, most of them did not respect Confucianism, and pragmatism became the primary criterion, so the development of miscellaneous studies in Jeju was particularly active.
The Jeju Governor's Office was also the first place to abolish the old system of servitude and fully implement a new system of employment and a system for the registration of naturalization of trading companies. Other new policies and systems that were resisted by tradition in the Central Plains were easily implemented in Jeju with little resistance.
Of course, in order to ensure Jeju Island's central position on the Haedong trade route, the main force of the 15,000-strong Haedong Camp was stationed in the northern stronghold of Jeju Fortress all year round.
It is precisely to control such a place to ensure that Huaidong can directly extract nearly four million silver dollars of military capital from the Haidong trade route every year, so that Lin, Song, Chen, Zhou, Sun and other forces around the periphery of the Chonggong Mansion can extract nearly 10 million silver dollars from the Haidong trade route every year......
The moment they landed on Jeju Island, Zhang Yubo, Zhao Shuhan and others suddenly understood that Lin Jian kicked them to Jeju, not to banish them to a wild land and punish them for not being subservient to Huaidong, but to teach them a lesson with living facts, and to open their eyes to the world: in the face of the imminent and thriving new empire, Yuan Yue is so erosive, dull, weak, incompetent, and irretrievable......
Zhang Yubo, Zhao Shuhan and others crossed the sea half a month earlier than Song Shixian and Luo Wenhu.
In this half a month, they can only settle down in Jeju City first, and they have not had time to go to Fujiang and Songpo. As an envoy, Jang Yubo had very little real power, but his rank was the same as that of the governor of Jeju and he had a special official residence.
Zhao Shuhan, Fan Jiliang, Chen Zhen and others all brought their wives and children to stay in the post house where the governor's mansion was sent to the dispatched generals, which was actually a brick building next to each other, but the rank was not as strict as the official residence of the governor and the envoy.
Although Jeju is small, it is much more standardized and tidy than Gangnyeong City in terms of sanitation and transportation; Compared to Jeju City, Gangnyeongseong, which has not fully recovered from the war, is more like a poor country.
Zhang Yubo, Zhao Shuhan, Fan Jiliang, and Chen Zhen cried and cried all the way, looking for death and life for the children who came to Jeju, and they quickly adapted to life in Jeju. Chen Enze and Zhou Guangdong are not in Jeju for the time being, and Ma Yigong, Zhou Guitang and other core figures in Jeju's military, politics and business, can understand Lin Lian's thoughts, not only will not make things difficult for Zhang Yubo and them, but still try to integrate them into the Jeju military and political system.
The time of half a month has flickered like a shadow, Zhang Yubo and Zhao Shuhan have not recovered from the initial impact, Song Shixian and Luo Wenhu came to Jeju with Chen Enze, bringing two shocking news: one is that Lin Jian decided to send troops to participate in the Goryeo Civil War and open up a second battle against Yanhu; The second is that Song Shixian led a team to Jeju to observe the solar eclipse, and the fundamental purpose was to measure the time difference of the solar eclipse, overturn the old theory of "the sky is round and the place is round", and establish the new heliocentric theory.
The second piece of news is particularly striking.
Although they parted ways due to different political views in the later period, Lin Shuxing and Zhao Shuhan wrote books and taught miscellaneous crafts in Jiangning Thatched Cottage for many years, which made great contributions; Zhao Shuhan is definitely a great grandmaster-level figure who can compete with Song Shixian, Jiang Yue, and Ge Siyu.
In his early years, when Zhao Shuhan was sorting out the calendar materials, he noticed the problem of recording time differences in different places for the same solar eclipse, but the sage theory of "the sky is round and the place is round" is too deep-rooted, so Zhao Shuhan does not dare to think about it.
In fact, in the early years, astrology was also banned because it contradicted the sage's doctrine that "the sky is round and the earth is round", so the Confucian orthodoxy that spoke for the sage was denounced as heresy. It's just that astrometry has a wider range of uses than compasses in navigation, so it has been secretly passed down among the people of the sea-
Huaidong can crisscross the East China Sea, but also benefit from the promotion of astrology. Without this technical means, which later generations called the isoweft navigation method, Huaidong would not have been able to implement direct shipping between Chongju and Jeju Island.
After all, Zhao Shuhan is very different from the traditional Confucianism, the perfection of Huaidong astrology, and his credit, the phenomenon of "eclipse jet lag" will be deduced from the "heliocentric theory", almost between the banquet and Song Shixian's simple exchange, it is completely thorough.
In fact, except for the eclipse time difference; In the past thousand years, many of the actual observations of the stars by those who have profound knowledge in the astronomical calendar are contrary to the words of the sages that "the sky is round and the earth is round, and the sun, moon and stars go around the earth".
These observations were not included in the mainstream of Confucianism, but were recorded one after another in the notes of the literati.
Zhao Shuhan spent ten years compiling the "Craftsman's Dictionary", and systematically combed through the miscellaneous books he had read for half his life, and he was almost the most read person in the world, and he had carefully and meticulously scrutinized all kinds of heresies. It can be said that the doctrine of the sage preached by mainstream Confucianism has long been shattered in his heart. It's just that limited to the extra large power of tradition, Zhao Shuhan didn't dare to get to the bottom of it, and he didn't have the ability to make a heretical voice with a strong impact.
This time the sun was vigorously supported by Lin Lian, and the purpose was to overturn the old theory of Confucianism.
With the support of Lin Tie, who controls the military and political affairs of the world and is supported by 400,000 elite soldiers and horses behind him, no matter how deep and huge the influence of the traditional forces of the old Confucianism is, at least on the bright side, Zhao Shuhan and they discuss subversive new theories, and they do not have to worry about being openly persecuted.
Zhao Shuhan and Song Shixian are both great masters in miscellaneous studies, and they used to be confined to political opinions and rarely communicated, but at this time they could have the opportunity to feast together in Jeju.
Unconsciously, the two talked more and more, and soon put Chen Enze, Ma Yigong, Zhang Yubo and others aside and ignored them.
Chen Enze and Zhang Yubo are okay, after all, they have involved the astronomical calendar, and they can barely understand what Song Shixian and Zhao Shuhan are talking about, while Ma Yigong, Fan Wenshu, Luo Wenhu and other generals and other officials present listen to it like falling into the clouds.
It's just that Song Shixian is a figure who is listed as a scholar of Chongxue Hall by Lin Lian.
Chongxueguan Scholar is just an honorary title, if there is anything particularly different, that is, Lin Jian also received Chongxueguan Scholar, that is, to raise the reputation of Chongxueguan Scholar to the height of others to look up to, so as to strengthen the status of miscellaneous studies in the world.
Although Song Shixian said that his real power was far inferior to that of the military and political generals at the level of commanders and governors, Ma Yigong, Chen Enze and others really couldn't be careless about Song Shixian, even if they listened to it boringly, they had to sit patiently.
If you deduct the hat of disrespecting the great master of miscellaneous studies, you may be transferred to which one to herd the horse the next day.
However, Zhang Yubo let go, and smiled with Zhao Shuhan and Song Shixian: "You are fascinated by talking, and this wine is cold......
Song Shixian was in Jiangning, and there were some quasi-grandmaster-level figures who could talk to him, and this time he brought a large group of people to Haidong to observe the solar eclipse, but these craftsmen were not as knowledgeable as him, and he couldn't find a person who could talk to him, and it was rare to catch Zhao Shuhan.
Listening to Zhang Yubo's troublesome opinions, Song Shixian said: "You drink, don't pay attention to us," thinking that others couldn't understand the astronomical calendar he talked about with Zhao Shuhan, he pulled Zhao Shuhan up and said, "Let's go, let's find another place to talk, don't affect their ......eating and drinking," and left the group and others alone.
Ma Yigong and others also smiled bitterly at Song Shixian's incomprehension, but Lin Jian regarded him as a treasure. Of course, Song Shixian's incomprehension was also well-known in Huaidong, so everyone naturally ignored it and the banquet went on quickly.
Zhang Yubo, Fan Jiliang, and Chen Zhen couldn't find Zhao Shuhan after the banquet, so they went back to their residence first.
On the carriage, Fan Jiliang couldn't suppress the doubts in his heart and asked Zhang Yubo: "Chongguo Gong's massive observation of the solar eclipse this time is intended to overturn the theory that 'the sky is round and the earth is round, and the sun, moon and stars travel around the earth', so as to establish a new school, but then it will also fundamentally shake the theory of 'inheriting the mandate of heaven' - what does Chongguo Gong want?" ”
Fan Jiliang didn't say anything during the banquet, others only thought that he couldn't understand the conversation between Song Shixian and Zhao Shuhan, but Fan Jiliang was able to give former Prime Minister Chen Xiyan a heavy and courteous appointment as a staff member, how could he be a mediocre person?
Many of the things Lin Jian is doing at the moment is to prepare for the abolition of Yuan and self-reliance, but since Lin Jian wants to ascend the throne as the emperor and create a new empire, how can he shake the foundation of the Mandate of Heaven?
Confucianism, which speaks for the sages, can become the mainstream completely, in fact, it is to integrate the doctrines of the hundred schools of thought of the pre-Qin princes, with "inheriting the mandate of heaven" as the core, and creating a complete set of theoretical foundations for the imperial power of the mandate of heaven. It is the replacement of the dynasty and the establishment of the national name, and it is also necessary to follow the theory of "the virtue of the five elements and mutual restraint", which is naturally the foundation of the "art of the emperor".
Figures such as Fan Jiliang and Zhang Yubo naturally do not believe in the statement of "inheriting the mandate of heaven", and some ambitious people even have the rebellious idea of "the emperor will be the prime minister, and there is a kind of thing", but in order to consolidate the imperial power, a set of theories that are convincing to the general public are inevitably needed.
Confucianism later regarded the Four Books and Five Classics as the fundamental classics, but in fact, some of the contents of the Four Books and Five Classics that contradicted the doctrine of the Mandate of Heaven were completely deleted. And the miscellaneous craftsman must not rise, and its root is this. After the rise of miscellaneous craftsmanship, it will inevitably have a subversive impact on the traditional theory of "imperial power and destiny", and the ancestors have long seen this point clearly.
Because of the actual needs, Lin Jian is understandable, but he has already achieved fame at this time, and he is about to establish a new dynasty and inherit the unification......
Of course, even if Lin Jian does not need to "inherit the mandate of heaven" to consolidate his authority, he has already held the military and political power in the world, but he will pass on his son and son to his grandson in the future, without this set of theories, how can it be done?
