Chapter 56 The Contest Must Be Held

After Ouyang Xiu saw that Li Hao understood, he said seriously: "Everything in Kaifeng Mansion is complicated, and it is easy to make mistakes if you walk too fast, but if you are too slow, you can't do anything. Moreover, the officials of Kaifeng Prefecture have close contacts with the powerful in Beijing, so if you want to do things, you must plan carefully and act cautiously. ”

After hearing this, Li Hao got up and saluted, and replied: "The little nephew understands, and he will definitely be more cautious in his actions in the future, and he will plan before acting." ”

In fact, this incident is a wake-up call for Li Hao, since Li Hao has been acting smoothly since he crossed over, and he has basically done what he wants to do, so he thinks these ancients are too simple, but he forgot that those who can become officials in this era are the ones who are one in a million, and they have been in the officialdom for many years, where can he easily control this stunned young man, this incident made Li Hao sober up, which can be regarded as dispelling Li Hao's sense of arrogance.

On the other side, Ouyang Xiu saw Li Hao's complexion change, and he was afraid that Li Hao would be too stimulated, so he asked Li Hao to sit down and comfort: "After all, you are still young, and you have not experienced many things, and you still have this young chivalrous spirit on your body, which is also a good thing." I'm like you at this age, and my behavior is not as comprehensive as you are now, you just need to think more about it in the future.

And after all, you just want to do something for your friends, and you can't really get into any big trouble, which is why I didn't look for you that day. ”

When Li Hao heard this, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, and asked suspiciously: "But my uncle told me about the matter today, and it may be a coincidence, so I came to wake up my little nephew." Second, my uncle thinks that if I continue to do the accounting business, it may cause a big disaster, so he deliberately warned me. ”

After Ouyang Xiu heard this, he was very relieved and said, "You are smart, you can understand it at one point." This is what I will talk about next, many things in Kaifeng Mansion are adult stubborn diseases, so if it is useless to deal with it in a small way, it is easy to get into trouble, and in addition, the previous Kaifeng Mansion Yin was strict, although the effect was good, but it also accumulated a lot of resentment in the house.

Didn't you say that I would be lenient when I took office, because if I was trying to prevent the slightest problem and force everyone to do so, I might be able to get by, but there will always be a day when I can't suppress the outbreak, and then things will no longer be under control. So instead of an uncontrolled outburst at that time, it is better for me to disperse this resentment now and wait for those people to make a big mistake, and only then can I sweep away the old dust.

And this matter can't be up to you, if you think about why the Kaifeng Mansion Yin in the past dynasties was taken over by the royal prince or the court officials, it's not for no reason.

But I'm sure you understand this, otherwise you wouldn't have brought the ledger with you, and you wouldn't have to come to the house with me. ”

After hearing this, Li Hao said: "Don't hide it from my uncle, I didn't think so clearly about the specifics, I just felt that I wanted to be safer, so I came to ask my uncle's opinion, but I thought I was right." It's a pity that I sorted out this account book, and now it looks useless. ”

Ouyang Xiu didn't want to dampen Li Hao's enthusiasm after hearing this, so he praised him: "You don't need to be discouraged, now you have done a good job, if it proves that your accounting method is really usable, then the effect on the Great Song Dynasty will be far greater than the eradication of some corrupt officials today, and then I will help you go to the official family to ask for merit."

And these books are not useless, and when the need comes, they are also a piece of incriminating evidence. Next, if you have time, you can also use this method to calculate the account books of other divisions in Kaifeng Prefecture. ”

Li Hao smiled after hearing this: "Okay, then I'll count it again, and see what this Kaifeng Mansion looks like." ”

Ouyang Xiu nodded after hearing this, then diverted the topic and asked, "Actually, there is one thing that I don't quite understand. I haven't heard how good your friendship with Gu Tingye is, why do you work so hard for his affairs. ”

After hearing this, Li Hao replied: "Gu Tingye is still a good person, and he is very familiar with my cousin Sheng Changbai, I have heard a lot of news from my cousin, and I know that he has not had a good time these years, and now I want to help as much as I can." There is another thing, I just want to do it, Gu Tingye can help with this, help him in this matter so that he can help me. ”

Ouyang Xiu asked curiously: "What do you want to do, you might as well tell me to hear it, and I will also give you a detailed reference." ”

After Li Hao heard this, he talked to Ouyang Xiu about his thoughts, so he asked first: "Uncle, you should know about Qiyun Society." ”

Ouyang Xiu said: "I naturally know this, it is a Keju Club where a group of people gathered, and I heard that there are many people who participate."

Li Hao replied: "I want to imitate the Qiyun Club in Bianjing to organize similar events, of course, not only Keju, such as polo, pitching pots, these can be organized, so as to form a complete set of rules and regulations and stricter rules and regulations, and pull the noble children in Bianjing City to join it." ”

After hearing this, Ouyang Xiu asked curiously, "What is the purpose of you doing this, just to have fun?" ”

After hearing this, Li Hao explained to Ouyang Xiu: "The biggest problem in Beijing today is actually the problem of public security, and the most difficult thing to deal with is this gang of gentlemen, let these people in Beijing only cause trouble, pick quarrels and provoke trouble, it is better to put these people together, even if there are any contradictions, it is their own business, anyway, as long as they do not involve the people, in the end, their own family members will come forward to clean up."

This is still the inspiration I came from watching the polo club held by the Earl of Yongchang's mansion, but now everyone is mainly playing, at most, the main family has some color, so it is always not very popular.

But if we make these into a complete set of competitions, as long as we can pull some of the noble families in the capital in, and then divide the winners and losers on the spot, we will award the winners in public, and make a lot of noise, and then we are not afraid that other gentlemen will not participate, after all, in order to earn face in front of everyone, they probably don't know how active they will be.

Second, I think the atmosphere is not good now, so let's take Keju as an example. The Keju of the Han and Tang Dynasties was more intense, called Chen Li's matter, so it was attached to the Art of War, which could be used for military training in the army, and could be used to exercise physical strength, skills and physical confrontation ability. But now, when the Taizu of this dynasty was in this dynasty, Keju still used more of the old system of the Han and Tang Dynasties, but now I can look at it again, Keju white play is prevalent in the world, which is a unique way of playing women's Keju in the Tang Dynasty. It is precisely because of this that the sports used for military training in the past have become things that everyone watches and has fun today.

In addition to Keju, the same is true for polo and pitching pots, which are losing their former efficacy, so I wondered if I could make some changes in this matter, and let the children of those noble families regain their martial style. ”

After listening to Li Hao's words, Ouyang Xiu said with some cold water: "The method is a good way, if Gu Tingye takes the lead, those gentlemen in Beijing will participate in it." But if you want to change the world's perception with this, I'm afraid you won't be able to do it. ”

After hearing this, Li Hao said: "Xunzi once said, so if you don't accumulate steps, you can't reach thousands of miles; If you don't accumulate small streams, you can't become rivers and seas. It's man-made, and if I did it today, it may not be as I think, but there is always a chance. But if I don't do anything, I can't change it forever. ”

When Ouyang Xiu heard this, a smile appeared on his face, and he said happily: "I'm really relieved that you can think about it." Now that you've got it planned, go ahead and tell me if you have any questions. ”

As soon as Li Hao heard this, he immediately replied: "There is really a problem here, and I need my uncle's help." ”

Ouyang Xiu was stunned when he heard this, thinking that as soon as I finished speaking, you have a problem, this is a trick for me.
