Chapter 22: World Affairs
Jiankang Mansion, commonly known as Jinling, is the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty and an important town in the southeast, and is an important military, political and economic center second only to the national capital Lin'an City. Xiongshan is the city, the Yangtze River is the pool, the boats and vehicles are transported, and several roads are spoken, which is today's Guanzhong and Hanoi.
There is no southeast of the town according to Jiankang. The emperor chose Jinling because he wanted to make great efforts on the southeast front.
"Your Majesty really wants to establish a martial arts hall in Jinling?"
Zhendeokxiu is also shocking.
Sure enough, the rumors turned out to be true.
"Yes, it's Jinling!"
Zhao Hong nodded, his tone low.
"Lin'an is rich and prosperous, but the fat powder is too arrogant and extravagant, and it is too far away from the north. The situation in the southeast, with Jinling as the most, the Great Song Dynasty wants to restore the north and collect the hearts of the people from far and near, so that the people of the world must see the determination and hope. ”
The capital of Jiankang Prefecture is Jinling, which later became the city of Nanjing, 500 miles north of Hangzhou and adjacent to the Yangtze River. And across the Yangtze River is Yangzhou, which is already a stone's throw away from Huaishui on the border of Song and Jin.
Jinling lecture martial arts hall, it is a matter of great affairs in the world, how can it be placed in Lin'an City, which is full of lights and wine, drunk and gold-obsessed?
"Your Majesty means that the martial arts hall and military training should be placed on Jiangnan East Road?"
Zhen Dexiu was also surprised.
Jinling City is the ancient capital of the six dynasties, and it can be a holy place. But the emperor chose Jinling City instead of Lin'an City to implement the new policy, which made him subconsciously a little disappointed.
Several other ministers looked at the emperor together.
Jinling Lecture Hall and Jinling University Hall are all in the capital of Jiangnan East Road. It turned out that all this was under the emperor's plan.
"Of course! In addition, in order not to build a large number of buildings and waste the people's fat and ointment, the palace in Jinling was cleaned up and used as a lecture place in the martial arts hall. Remember, leave a room for me to stay in the martial arts hall! ”
Meeting the eyes of the ministers, Zhao Hong smiled.
"Move the martial arts to Jinling, and those martial arts doctors, martial arts professors, etc., move to Jinling together. In addition, soldiers with rich combat experience were selected from the border army as instructors in the martial arts hall. Also, in addition to the seven books, I have to compile some of the textbooks of the martial arts hall myself. ”
"Your Majesty, how do you settle those martial arts scholars?"
Shocked, Zhen Dexiu asked weakly.
The Jinling Palace was changed to the Jinling Lecture Hall, which was really shocking and beyond his imagination.
Xuan Xuan was also secretly surprised. The emperor's palace was changed to a lecture hall, which shows the emperor's importance to the lecture hall.
Jinling Lecture Martial Arts Hall, Great Song Dynasty Naval Master School, is the emperor going to promote the martial arts of the Great Song Dynasty?
"Wu Xueyu moved to Jinling, and it was integrated with the martial arts hall, and of course the people went to Jinling together. For specific things, let Wei Liaoweng, the squire of the military department, do it. Just look at it, are these priests and priests worthy of use? ”
After the Song dynasty crossed to the south, he built a martial arts school in Lin'an Mansion. The students who are enrolled in martial arts are, firstly, the enshrined officials in the east of the imperial palace, the left and right pandianzhi, the front of the palace, etc., and the second is the descendants of the junior officials recommended by the imperial court officials and the ministers of civil and military affairs.
The martial arts of the Northern Song Dynasty was 200 people, divided into the upper house, the middle house and the lower house, 30 people in the upper house, 70 people in the middle house, 100 people in the lower house, and three years of study.
The martial arts of the Southern Song Dynasty was reduced by more than half, and by the time of Song Ningzong, there were only twenty or thirty martial arts students, and they existed in name only.
The four ministers muttered secretly. The new emperor's move is definitely to promote martial arts, advocate the style of martial arts, and pave the way for the large-scale use of troops in the future.
"It has been nearly a hundred years since the Song Dynasty crossed to the south. The Tatars are even more powerful and indestructible. In this world of great controversy, if we do not be prepared for danger in times of peace, vigorously fight our troops and horses, and reorganize our armaments, our Great Song Dynasty will be in danger of destroying the country in the future. ”
Zhao Hong's face was solemn and he said it to the ministers.
Zhao Hong originally wanted to set up the lecture hall in Yangzhou, south of the Yangtze River, but finally gave up. Yangzhou is too close to the border, and it will definitely be opposed by the ministers.
In this case, it is better to choose Nanjing, at least advance 500 miles to the north, blocked by the Yangtze River, and no one will object.
The four ministers looked at each other, stood up together, and bowed.
"Your Majesty. Obey the order! ”
No one can oppose Zhao Hong's will, which is a great righteousness.
In the past 100 years, the monarchs of the Great Song Dynasty have been looking north day by day, eager to recover the lost land and return to the Central Plains.
The imperial palace and the imperial mausoleum are temporary expedient places, and who would dare to oppose them in order to restore them?
It seems that the establishment of the martial arts hall is the third fire that the emperor wants to burn.
The new official took office with three fires, looking at the emperor's enthusiastic appearance, there will be no fourth fire, right?
Picking up the teacup and taking a few sips gently, Xue Ji understood the comfort of "sitting and talking".
If you keep standing, it is estimated that you will already have back pain and drowsiness.
Picking up a piece of the fold, Zhao Hong looked at it for a moment, then closed and put it away one by one.
The first emperor died, the new emperor ascended the throne, and the twists and turns of Enyin entered the office one after another, some were relatives, some were minors, and the number reached hundreds, which really made Zhao Hong frightened.
When one person attains the Tao, the chicken and dog ascend to heaven. What do they regard the Great Song Dynasty as a backyard that they can grab wantonly?
In the Song Dynasty, the harm of "redundant officials" was the culprit. The number of people who entered the imperial examination was twice as large as the number of scholars in the imperial examination, which caused a huge financial burden to the country, and also put an end to the promotion of the social elite, and the road to the country's talent selection was ruthlessly blocked.
Everyone knows that Enyin is very harmful, but they all enjoy vested interests with peace of mind. In the final analysis, it is still the greed of human nature.
Just like Cai Jing in the Northern Song Dynasty, a large group of sons and grandsons were all ennobles, and all of them were court officials.
When an official retires, his son can be gracious, the country is not chaotic, and heaven does not tolerate it.
"Zhuqing, when it comes to fighting birds and crickets, most of them are the sons and daughters of the powerful in Lin'an City. The children of the official eunuchs above the seventh grade in Lin'an City, all those who have nothing to do with the official body, as well as those who meet the age, all rushed to the Jinling University Hall, the Great Song Naval Master School and the Jinling Lecture Hall! Eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling all day long, his face has changed. It's just a piece of garbage, and it should have the value of garbage! ”
Zhao Hong said coldly.
Anyway, he is leading the country's money and food, and he wants to be kind to the government anyway, so it is better to train them to see if he can cultivate some talents to serve the country. It is also just taking this opportunity to let Enmeng enter the office and slowly die out naturally.
"Your Majesty Shengming!"
The ministers were all overjoyed, and they worshipped again.
Let the children of the powerful enter the official office, just this move, the emperor will do his best to the heart of the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty.
As for the word "garbage", I am afraid that it means "waste" and "useless things".
"Your Majesty, what is the age of ......?"
Xue Ji was overjoyed and asked tirelessly.
In addition to Xue Tan of the Arsenal, he also has two grandsons who are idle at home. The emperor's decree is right.
"The noble sons of Lin'an City are from the age of twelve to the age of thirty. Those who are willing to go to the martial arts hall are also supported by the imperial court. Those who are unwilling to go to the Jinling Academy and are not willing to go to the martial arts hall are not reluctant by the imperial court. ”
The Great Song Sailor School, you have to study for three years, plus internships, seventeen or eighteen years old, which is the best age.
Zhao Hong thought about it for a while, and decided to charge a fee to attend Jinling University Hall like the universities of later generations.
"Jinling University Hall, in the first academic year, tentatively enrolls 2,000 students, divided into three years according to age and knowledge, and 700 people graduate each academic year. As long as the school's income and expenditure are balanced. ”
There are probably thousands of children of the powerful in Lin'an City. These children of the powerful, no matter how difficult their lives are, they can always afford a little tuition and miscellaneous fees. Unless you really can't afford to pay the tuition and miscellaneous fees, the school and the court will subsidize it.
Xue Ji probably understood what the emperor meant. The so-called balance of income and expenditure means that the expenses of the school have to be filled by the tuition fees of the students.
Anyway, these gentlemen spend a lot of time drinking, and a little tuition and miscellaneous fees shouldn't be a problem.
"Your Majesty, is there a charge for the Jinling Lecture Hall?"
Xuanxuan, as the secretary of the military department, couldn't help but ask.
The preparation of the lecture martial arts hall is simple, but it is just a martial arts that has expanded the scale. However, if the lecture hall is charged, it is estimated that it will hurt the students' desire to serve the country.
"Speaking of martial arts fees, who is willing to charge into battle? The soldiers shed blood and sacrificed, can't they cover this little tuition and miscellaneous expenses? The lecture hall must not be charged, and you must also enjoy all kinds of preferential treatment on eating, drinking, and Lasa! ”
Zhao Hong was solemn, and Xuan Xuan hurriedly received the decree and said yes.
A Jinling lecture martial arts hall, a Jinling school, and the lecture martial arts hall is obviously preferential. Is this a sign that the emperor wants to "use all kinds of force" and improve the status of martial artists?
"I will add some content to the teaching materials and training content of the lecture hall, and I will also send some new instructors in, mainly queue and bayonet skills, as well as firearms drills. Firearms, in particular, will change the course of the war, and I attach great importance to them as the most important part of the training subjects of the Lecture Hall. ”
The Ordnance Division is in the process of casting firearms on a large scale for the deployment of the army. The training of firearms is also the foundation of the training of the martial arts. Zhao Hong will naturally take firearms training as the most important subject in the martial arts hall.
The ministers looked at each other and understood.
Although none of them had seen the tremendous power of firearms, the emperor was so solemn that he could change the situation of the war, and he must be a weapon of great destruction.
Come to think of it, this Jinling University Hall is the fourth fire burned by the emperor.
Fortunately, the emperor did not burn the fifth fire, because Zhao Hong had already stood up with a smile on his face.
"Ladies and gentlemen, after talking for a long time, you should be hungry. Eat with me, talk while eating, and sit down and talk about it. ”
Zhao Hong waved his hand, and Dong Songchen had already sent the "meeting minutes" down.
"As discussed today, I have asked the living officers to prepare a summary and make a memorandum for the secretaries. 10,000 years is too long, seize the day, and the affairs of the court, all the secretaries are trying their best. ”
The four ministers saluted together and thanked them and secretly complained bitterly.
The emperor's diligent energy chased after Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, and he never got tired of it.
"I heard that His Majesty is compiling a geography book, and I think I will try it out in the lecture hall."
Xuan Xuan suddenly realized and asked unconsciously.
"Yes, but most of the geography books are still to be completed by the scholars of the academy. As for the history books, I don't need to do it anymore, I can do it myself. ”
He is still somewhat confident in history.
"Your Majesty, your song "Qinyuan Spring. Snow", can you give it to Weichen on this map of rivers and mountains? That's the finishing touch! ”
Hu Yu said it with a smile, respectfully.
Xue Ji secretly despised himself, and let this guy run ahead again.
Zhen Dexiu was slightly embarrassed, and then held his head high, very disdainful.
His own disciples, they can't pull their faces down to say flattering words, how ridiculous.
Coming out of the palace, several ministers were speechless for a while.
"True father, when today's son, it seems that it is not what it used to be!"
Finally, Xue Ji seemed to be smiling and smiling.
"The official family has obviously arranged for Wei Liaoweng to go to Jinling to handle the matter of the martial arts, and today he said that he wanted to discuss it, but he only informed you and me."
Xuan Xuan's words were full of dissatisfaction.
He founded the lecture hall and did not say a word to the ministers participating in politics, so he decided where to put them.
"Xuan Xianggong, you are wrong. It has always been the king's dictatorship, and this is especially true of major events. It's different now, so let's be more careful. ”
Xue Ji was unhurried, and the cold wind blew, making his sweat-soaked back cold.
"That's true. Ambitious, arbitrary, the old man is unpredictable! ”
Zhen Deok Xiu's eyes were also a little confused.
"It's not that it's unpredictable, but it's unpredictable!"
Xue Ji looked at Zhen Dexiu and shook his head secretly.
For his disciples, this "emperor master" didn't know anything. I don't know, how have the master and apprentice gotten along in the past few years?
