Chapter 109: Battle of the Wolves (11)
It's terrible to be uneducated. Facing his father, Zhao Qian remembered what his father had said. After he saw the 'fox' in front of him with his own eyes and passed the stage of great joy, Zhao Qian understood what his father meant. No living fox in this world has two tails, but there are nine tails in this world.
Daddy Zhao Jiaren said, 'When you see a nine-tailed fox, you know it's a nine-tailed fox'. Before Zhao Qian talked with Luo Dahui, Minister of Industry, everyone talked about referring to deer as horses from the nine-tailed fox, which actually meant the same thing. It is impossible to convince others to impose an unacceptable result on others. Zhao Qian has never seen his father do something unreasonable. Now he was ashamed and felt that he was really immature. The simple things were complicated by his thoughts, and the complicated things were made simple by his thoughts.
He was about to speak, but he heard an exclamation from the crowd. When I turned my head, I saw that some of the snow on the trees at the fox's tail had slipped down. As a water conservancy expert, Zhao Qian finds this easy to understand. The snow can fall a lot in the cold spring, but it is not possible to maintain the snow for a long time. The current snow will melt in less than a day. Only the snow on the ground in the windy area can last a little longer.
When the snow stopped falling, Zhao Qian wanted to speak again, but saw that his father began to count, "One, two, three, four...... Eight...... Nine. Ha ha. Not bad. Zhao Qian, I didn't expect you to get a nine-tailed fox. ”
Zhao Qian was surprised and turned his head back again, and saw that others also began to count. He himself couldn't help the crowd mentality, and began to count with his own visual effects. In the end, I really felt that the original eight tails had become nine because of the appearance of mountain scenery, forest trees, and snow scenes.
Zhao Qian was stunned. Is that really the case?!
"The first kings were looking for the nine-tailed fox, which was the opportunity to find. Therefore there is not much to gain, but not to be gained. I remember which ancestor came to look for the nine-tailed fox many times in a row, and I thought that he had encountered a major event, and he was looking forward to getting a good omen to help him make a decision. Zhao Jiaren spoke aloud about his views.
This is not Zhao Jiaren's originality, but he read the article on the discussion of the nine-tailed fox in the 21st century. In ancient times, the productivity of the ancestors was backward, and they could only rely on the rich colors of grass, trees, mountains and soil in spring and autumn, so that the appearance of the nine-tailed fox could be seen from the accidental collocation of various natural environments. It could also be another auspicious beast. This kind of situation is actually not common, and with the increase in productivity levels later, it is not as good as a natural landscape that may not be a piece in a few years or even decades. This search for the nine-tailed fox was lost. All that remains is a few words.
Zhao Qian didn't know the source of his father's knowledge, he looked at his father, thinking about his father's words, and felt a little ashamed in his heart. When it comes to the nine-tailed fox, Zhao Qian's mind before was full of foxes with nine tails. Although I also thought that there might be something that looked like a nine-tailed fox, I really haven't seen a reliable legend. The fox in front of you is the result of the convergence of many non-human factors, and you can see a special appearance in a special season. However, the will of heaven can not be controlled by mortals, otherwise how could so many ancestors return disappointed.
Being able to 'get the nine-tailed fox' today, Zhao Qian didn't feel happy. On the contrary, it made Zhao Qian feel ashamed. Daddy's mentality of being a fairy bone, Zhao Qian is really ashamed of himself, and even feels that he can't catch up.
"Congratulations!" "Congratulations!" The crowd of high-ranking officials burst into cheers.
The civil officials went straight to Zhao Guan's house, and the Minister of Industry, Luo Dahui, went straight to Zhao Qian and stretched out his hand to shake hands with Zhao Qian. Zhao Qian shook hands with Luo Dahui a little uneasily, and then the director of the Water Conservancy Department and the Director of the Mining Department also shook hands with Zhao Qian. The original group of high-ranking officials of the Great Song Dynasty naturally divided into two votes.
Qin Yuzhen looked at the 'nine-tailed fox', and then at her husband, son, and officials, with mixed feelings in her heart. She didn't expect things to turn out like this. The so-called auspicious rui is what the emperors want to see the most, and the auspicious rui can greatly increase the sacredness of the emperors' so-called destiny. However, her husband strictly ordered that the place was not allowed to be auspicious, and when the husband really made Xiangrui himself, he was really moved.
What made Qin Yuzhen feel embarrassed was that seeing Xiangrui with her own eyes was a group of people composed of the Great Song Dynasty spirits. What these guys think, Qin Yuzhen herself is not sure. A major event that instinctively caused a sensation in the world has become a scene of intrigue, making what could have been a sacred scene even a little funny.
Just as she was thinking about it, she saw Wen Tianxiang come to her, "Sage, what you said yesterday is really admirable. I don't know the true face of Lushan, only because I am in this mountain. Heaven and earth spiritual creatures, how can they easily show their true faces. I admired it very much. ”
Qin Yuzhen could only smile and show her kindness. She herself knows that she is completely afraid that her husband and son will be embarrassed. At that time, she didn't expect her husband's mind and scheming to be so contrasting with his usual grin. No, maybe it's her husband's big grin and seemingly dismissive performance, which is exactly the performance of Zhao Jiaren who has the city government in his heart. Even now, let Qin Yuzhen do it again, she didn't dare to bet that she could really 'get the nine-tailed fox'. Not to mention 'seeing the white fox nine-tails'.
The crowd watched for a while, because they were tired from running along the way. At this time, the guard regiment moved the camp to the vicinity of the 'nine-tailed fox', and everyone went back to rest first. In the afternoon, due to the melting snow, the original fox form was completely out of shape. At night, when everyone went to look again, what they saw was an ordinary mountain, not to mention the nine-tails, and the previous lifelike fox form could not be seen at all. What catches everyone's eyes is just an ordinary mountain.
However, from the old tradition, this is exactly in line with the saying that the spiritual objects of heaven and earth are fleeting, and those who are destined to get it. In the evening, the people had a drinking feast. Celebrate this adventure.
Zhao Qian naturally became one of the protagonists in the banquet, and the men of science and engineering praised this adventure. For these guys, not meeting a fox with nine tails made them even happier. The mental training they received from an early age, especially the ability to pass many exams, made them really believe in the education they received.
From the education of science and engineering men, what they see today is the result that they can most accept. The Zhao Guanjia, who made the science and engineering men look up, did not believe that the living fox had nine tails, which made the science and engineering men infinitely happy. And the science and engineering man and the fool are not the same thing, these people all know the thoughts of the Zhao official family, and they are also happy to be close to the successor of the Zhao official family, the science and engineering man Zhao Qian.
The vast majority of polytechnic men don't like to drink alcohol because excessive drinking can make them feel sick to their brains. So at the beginning, the people said, 'Everyone, feel free, feel free.'" Then he drank and drank and fainted.
Compared with these chirping guys, the civil servants are much more elegant. For the roughness of the science and engineering men, the civil officials are very disdainful, and more importantly, they really can't have a common language with the science and engineering men. What precipitation, tree species, climate, are all too far away from the civil officials. If you follow what the polytechnic men say, everything in front of them should be explainable, and it can be explained, and they are happy to explain it. The civil servants don't understand why they should explain? Or explain it in terms of the 'laws of nature' that no one can decide.
Therefore, the civil officials naturally avoided the group of science and engineering men and began to chant poems against each other. It's just against Zhao Guan's poetry, which is a bit disappointing to the civil officials. According to reason, Zhao Guanjia himself was born as a Jinshi, and he should be very proficient in various poems. However, Zhao Jiaren likes to call himself a 'Tai Lieutenant' and takes the martial artist route. On weekdays, it is rare to recite poems against each other. There are also occasional majestic masterpieces, but they are also written by accident. Zhao Guanjia wrote the most, but it was a variety of explanatory essays that those science and engineering men could understand.
It's just that on such a day and in such a situation, civil officials are not willing to dwell on this. So all kinds of poems came out one after another. It also looks very elegant.
No one dared to pour Zhao Jiaren's wine, and Zhao Jiaren himself could keep calm and look at the imperial court that had been divided into two parts. Picking up the wine glass and taking a sip, Zhao Jiaren was happy in his heart. This time, we have already taken advantage of the counterattack launched by civilian officials to start a comprehensive personnel replacement in the army, and the first wave of replacement can be completed within half a year. Zhao Jiaren is ready to continue the push, hoping to lower the average age of officers at all levels in the army by another four years or more within two years. Let the knowledge content in the army be greatly improved.
After that, the pure old civil service system should also come to an end. The new era of engineering rule has officially stepped onto the stage of history. When Zhao Jiaren was in China, he agreed with the rule of engineers, and after arriving in the United States, he found that in the great era of the United States, the so-called 'liberal arts students' were actually humanities experts, and these experts studied liberal arts after completing formal university education in mathematics, physics and chemistry. As a gatekeeper oligarchy, the upper echelons of the United States attach great importance to education, and their children and the characters selected by them can be described as the all-round development of 'morality, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics, and labor'. Barbarize its flesh and civilize its spirit. If you count the wave of blue-blooded aristocrats in the United States in World War II, you have to be a soldier and have a serious performance in order to be included in the list of rulers.
Zhao Jiaren expects that with the development of the Great Song Dynasty, real 'liberal arts students', not just students who have gone to 'liberal arts', will be able to grow up. But I can't say a word about it.
The civil officials also began to drink more gradually, and some people came up to invite Zhao Jiaren to come and chant poems. Zhao Jiaren was in a good mood, reminisced for a moment, dragged the pen and paper, and wrote a little bit on the paper with his handsome thin gold body.
Zhao Jiaren finished writing in one go, revised a few more words, and then threw down the pen. The civil officials crowded over to watch, and Wen Tianxiang read aloud: "The wind and rain send spring back, and the snow welcomes spring." It is already a cliff with a hundred feet of ice, and there are still flowers and branches. Pretty doesn't compete for spring, only reports spring. When the mountains were full of flowers, she laughed in the bushes. ”
After reading it, everyone fell silent for a while. Then I heard Wen Tianxiang praise loudly: "Good words! Good words! Yongmei's work has never seen such a frank work. ”
That's certainly a good word. Plagiarist Zhao Jiaren said secretly in his heart. For plum blossoms in the past dynasties, they are all desolate and sad. This poem maintains the person's usual open-minded, energetic and hopeful state of mind. The reason why Zhao Jiaren doesn't want to go against the literati is not that he is incapable of nonsense, but that Zhao Jiaren knows his own mentality. In order to adapt to this era of blood and fire, Zhao Jiaren's mentality is no longer a builder, but a destroyer. If the poems can really write Zhao Jiaren's mentality, it must be extremely terrifying. is also the only one who doesn't cultivate good fruits in his life, and only loves to kill people and set fires. Suddenly, the golden rope was opened, and the jade lock was torn off here. Hey! The tide on the Qiantang River is coming, and today I know that I am me! That's what it's really like.
When the men heard the cheers here, they also crowded over to watch. Although they are also praising it, it is clear that they do not feel the same way as the civil servants. It's lively, everyone is tired. The banquet dispersed and everyone rested.
Lying down on the bed again, Qin Yuzhen leaned over to Zhao Jiaren and whispered, "But it's hard work." ”
"Huh." Zhao Jiaren didn't want to answer. He was indeed tired, and what he wanted to do was done, and he just wanted to get some sleep and then return to the camp.
"Pretty doesn't compete for spring, only reports spring. When the mountains were full of flowers, she laughed in the bushes. How long have the officials been thinking about this? Qin Yuzhen chuckled.
"What's wrong?" Zhao Jiaren became a little interested.
"Didn't the officials see the civil servants rejoicing? They have never seen an official family write such words, but they are afraid that they will feel that the official family is about to change their temperament. Even the concubine was surprised. When the concubine saw the official family for the first time, the official family wrote that she did not cultivate good fruits in her life, but only loved to kill people and set fires, and she looked very happy. Speaking of the past, Qin Yuzhen couldn't help but laugh in a low voice.
That's certainly a good word. Plagiarist Zhao Jiaren said secretly in his heart. For plum blossoms in the past dynasties, they are all desolate and sad. This poem maintains the person's usual open-minded, energetic and hopeful state of mind.
