Chapter 8: The Pavilion of Appreciation
Jinling Appreciation Pavilion, located in Jinling City, Qinhuai River, Xiashui West Gate City, next to Qinhuai, the victory of viewing, is a famous spot in Nanjing Shuixi Gate.
Looking at the railing, the sunset is setting, the river is rushing, moving forward, the mountains are covered, the willows are still in place, it is the picturesque rivers and mountains, how many ...... Frustrated heroes.
The status quo cannot be changed, and it can only be replaced with "10,000 words of flat strategy" and "the book of planting trees of the owner". Isn't that frustrating enough?
“…… The sunset is at the head of the building, in the sound of the broken hong, the Jiangnan wanderer. I looked at Wu Hook, and the railing was patted all over, no one would, and I was on the line. ”
Unconsciously, in Zhao Hong's mouth, he blurted out this song "Water Dragon Yin", which Xin Qijian had a passion for serving the country, but was depressed.
I want to do it but can't do it, I can't do it when I see it, I can only complain about "I grass" or "fuck your uncle".
Who can understand the bitterness and helplessness of those people with lofty ideals looking north by the railing.
He went for a few days, traveled in micro-clothes, and the guards escorted artillery and other teaching equipment to arrive later, everything was simple, and if it could be avoided, it was avoided as much as possible, and the people were disturbed as much as possible.
In his current status, there is no need to show off, but it is especially rare to be relaxed when going out.
The reason why I arrived in Jinling City a few days in advance is for some of the famous scenic spots in Jinling City, such as the Appreciation Pavilion, ascending to the nostalgia, and paying tribute to the sages.
"Your Majesty, Xin Jiaxuan came here back then, and Su Dongpo, Fan Chengda, and Zhang Xiaoxiang also came here. Lu Fangweng also landed here, and there is "gloomy river clouds and melons step rain, Xiao Xiao wood leaves stone city autumn." The lonely minister is worried about the times, and wants to ask the capital to move to the tears". His heart of worrying about the country and the people made the ministers awe-inspired. ”
Chasing the sages, Tian Yi whispered on the side.
"Your Majesty, Yangzhou is located between the Jianghuai River, the north and the south, and the Jiangnan barrier. The so-called guarding the Huai does not guard the river, guarding the river must guard the Huai, so we must guard Yangzhou, and do not let anyone cross Yangzhou and cause trouble in the south of the Yangtze River. ”
Zhou Ping looked at Jiangbei in the twilight, as if he had something to say.
He went to Jinling first, and the Anti-Corruption Department was established silently, and his subordinates were already investigating and secretly investigating and fighting corruption.
The old man left the Yellow Crane Tower in the west, and the fireworks went down to Yangzhou in March.
At that time, Yangzhou smoke and willow painting bridge, wind curtain green curtain, now because of frequent wars, people's livelihood withered, full of devastation. The new Yangzhou Zhizhou Du Gao's recital, Yangzhou needs to repair the city and recruit people for spring ploughing. The dignified Yangzhou City has a population of less than 50,000, which makes Zhao Hong lose interest in where to go to admire the monuments.
"As long as the Great Song Dynasty rises, future generations will also say that you Tian Yi and Zhou Ping have also come here with me."
Zhao Hong smiled proudly and pointed out the country to the north, full of interest.
"I removed the Zhao brothers and sent Du Gao to Yangzhou to live with the people and build water conservancy, so that within five years, Yangzhou must be restored. One day, Yangzhou will return to its former prosperity. ”
Du Gao is proficient in practice, and his first impression on Zhao Hong is that this person is a talented person who can only be a leader, and cannot be subservient to others.
In other words, being the second-in-command is a waste, not to mention a small Jiangshan County Cheng.
Having said that, the brothers Zhao Fan and Zhao Kui, the prefect of Yangzhou, interceded for Zheng Qingzhi, the rebellious teacher, although their courage was commendable, but they touched his scales. If he is not severely punished, how can he restore imperial power?
Although these two people have a good reputation as officials and generals, and they are not busy people who eat and wait for death, he still destroys flowers with his hands and shows no mercy.
It's no wonder that they don't have long eyes, they have to be strong. The talents of the Great Song Dynasty are much higher and stronger than them, and they are just used by the imperial court.
"Your Majesty sent Du Gao to Yangzhou to purge the soldiers and horses, and stabilize the people, didn't he plan to recover Chuzhou and restore the Huaidong border?"
Zhou Pinghu asked suspiciously.
Chuzhou Huaidong border fortress town, now Li is all like a separation, the court officials are nothing, if it can really be under the rule of the Great Song Dynasty, Huaidong border defense is worry-free.
However, once Huaidong uses troops, the Jiangnan East Road, which is across the river, will be greatly affected, and the new policy will be difficult to implement smoothly.
"Chuzhou is ruined, and now it is not the time to recover it, and it is not necessary. What's more, Du Gao has just taken office, and his ass is not hot, so let him deal with Li Quan, doesn't he let him find death? ”
Zhao Hong shook his head and continued:
"Wait until next year or the year after, when the new army on the Jiangnan East Road is completed, I will allocate tens of thousands of elite soldiers and strong generals to help Du Gao defend Yangzhou and prevent the war from burning Yangzhou. Now with three or four million guan, you can keep Huaidong safe for several years, why not? ”
Chuzhou is located on the south bank of Huaishui, the southeast border, the Song and Jin Dynasty have been fighting for many years, like chicken ribs. Even if Chuzhou is recovered, he doesn't have the energy to restore the people's livelihood, so it's better to maintain the status quo and let Li Quan toss it.
He wants to concentrate on dealing with potential threats in the northwest.
Tian Yi and Zhou Ping both nodded yes.
It seems that Zhao Hong also knows that he will swallow his anger and make every effort to deal with Li Quan in time.
"Tian Yi, when will the Jiangnan Weapons Manufacturing Division be completed to manufacture firearms and armor weapons?"
The gunpowder factory and the iron factory both belonged to the Jiangnan Ordnance Manufacturing Division, which was built on Bailuzhou in the west of Jinling City, but for the sake of safety, the gunpowder factory and the iron factory were completely separated.
The gunpowder factory and iron factory were also one of the new policies implemented on Jiangnan East Road, which were in charge of Zheng Tu and Tian Yi, and the craftsmen were mobilized from Shaoxing and Lin'an in Zhejiang. Among them, the iron factory is not only for military construction, but also for civilian use, and everything is in preparation.
In Zhao Hong's planning, such as soap factories, honeycomb coal factories, match factories, garment factories, shoe factories, and possibly cement factories, glass factories, bone china factories, and so on, must be built one by one.
Boost domestic demand, stimulate exports, and expand employment opportunities......
Perhaps he will come up with several five-year plans to push the Southern Song Dynasty step by step on the road to prosperity and strength.
Several five-year plans!
How many five years are there in life? In a blink of an eye, the most unwanted hero is white-headed, the beauty is twilight, and there are not so many long days.
"Your Majesty, the factory will not be supervised until the end of April, and it will be May before gunpowder and firearms can be manufactured."
Tian Yi said with a sigh of relief.
Looking at Zhao Hong's meaning, I can't wait for everything to be ready overnight.
Zheng Tu and the others came to Jinling to work before the end of the year, and the minerals they needed were also transferred to Jiankang Mansion one after another from the spring. All the craftsmen and craftsmen are upside down day and night, just to let the Jiangnan Ordnance Manufacturing Division be put into production as soon as possible.
"Your Majesty must not pull out the seedlings to help them grow, and be in a hurry. At that time, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was defeated and left behind infamy, and the reason for this was that he wanted to complete it in a hundred years, and he wanted to complete it in ten years. Your Majesty is cautious. ”
Zhou Ping observed the nuances and pointed directly at Zhao Hong's "forced government".
Although it is said that "10,000 years is too long, seize the day", if it provokes civil strife and civil uprising, I am afraid that the new policy will come to an abrupt end and return to the pre-liberation period overnight.
"I don't abuse the people's power, why are I in a hurry? But it is the right way to think twice about everything. ”
Zhao Hong shook his head, but he was helpless.
Although in terms of military affairs, Da Song has lost at the starting line, but things must be taken step by step, and many people work hard together, and they are really in a hurry.
However, those bureaucrats, formalism, hedonism, and extravagance must be drastically eliminated as soon as possible through the New Deal.
"Tian Yi, you are the chief instructor of firearms in the martial arts hall, have the firearms and gunpowder to be used in the martial arts hall been prepared?"
In particular, there must be no mistakes in the artillery and earth-shaking thunder during the exercise.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, all kinds of artillery, earth-shattering thunder, as well as teaching materials, instructors, school uniforms and school flags, are all ready, and there will be no delay in teaching!"
Tian Yi swore that he was afraid to pat his chest and promise Zhao Hong.
Speaking of which, Shi Miyuan and others are not useless. At least the expenses for the establishment of the lecture hall were basically borne by the family property obtained by the people who raided the family.
"Are all the instructors of the martial arts hall in place? Are the textbooks ready? ”
No matter how big or small, Zhao Hong asked them one by one.
He doesn't have to worry about the Great Song Shui Shi School, and the basic exercises and basic teaching materials on weekdays are the same as those of the Jinling Martial Arts Hall. Water warfare drills should be carried out after the warships are refitted, and the corresponding combat methods should also be changed.
As for the basic training of the students of the Sailor Academy, it is the same as the previous training of the Sailor, nothing special.
"Back to Your Majesty, the instructors have been in place, and now they have entered the Sailor Academy and the Jinling Lecture Hall respectively. Teaching materials, such as the "Infantry Drill Manual" and the "Artillery Drill Manual," have been prepared in the martial arts hall, and the instructors are reviewing them. ”
The number of people coming and going continued, and Tian Yi's voice became weaker.
As for the traditional "Seven Books of Wujing", many books have been deleted, and books on mathematics, medicine, history, and geography have been newly added.
Tian Yi trained officers in Yujin Garden, and the "Infantry Drill Code" and "Artillery Drill Code" were taught on the spot, while teaching and compiling teaching materials, which were printed in Lin'an City by the way, and then brought into the Jinling Lecture Hall.
As for the transformation of the martial arts hall, it is Wei Liaoweng who does things, and Zhao Hong is still relieved.
In less than three months, Wei Liaoweng made the Jinling Lecture Wutang generally ready, and its efficiency and ability were beyond doubt.
"The yamen and subordinates of the Anti-Corruption Division are also ready, right?"
Zhao Hong's gaze turned to his brother-in-law Zhou Ping.
Anti-corruption matters are related to the governance of corruption and the foundation of the country. The officials of the Great Song Dynasty were greedy for ink, and the people were used to seeing it, but they did not know that it had seriously shaken the foundation of the country.
Officials accept bribes, officials and businessmen collude, fish and flesh the people, cut leeks and wool, the class is solidified, the second generation of officials and the rich second generation make waves, and the common people have life and hope.
"Back to Your Majesty, the Anti-Corruption Division is located on the west side of the Yamen of the Jiangnan East Road Transfer Division, although it is a little simpler, but it is exactly in line with the original intention of anti-corruption and anti-corruption. At present, there are more than 20 members, all of whom are wise men of Zhejiang and Zhejiang. Ng Man-ying, a member of the Bounds Institute, has traveled extensively and often comes to help with anti-corruption matters. ”
Wu Wenying, Economic Boundary Office, Anti-Corruption ......
Zhao Hong bowed slightly.
Wu Wenying, the great lyricist of the Southern Song Dynasty, finally found his place and understood the way he wanted to live, just like Liu Kezhuang, a brilliant lyricist.
"The ...... of the Meridians"
Zhao Hong hesitated slightly and didn't continue.
I originally wanted to ask about the Jingjie and the implementation of the new policy, but Hu Mengyu and Wu Wenying were not there.
However, judging from the precedent of successive kings who have abandoned the boundary halfway, I am afraid that there will be many difficulties.
"Your Majesty, the minister has chatted with Hu Xianggong for a few words, and there are many obstacles in the affairs of the warp, I'm afraid it will not be easy."
Zhou Ping looked at Zhao Hong's face and said in a low voice.
"Not easy?"
Zhao Hong's heart sank, and then he said:
"Jiangnan East Road implements the new policy, and we will spare no effort to support it. If Hu Mengyu can't do it, I can only change people. If it doesn't work, I'll do it myself. Whoever dares to stand in the way, I will never be relentless! ”
It has always been like this, with demons and monsters, and thousands of people in the way. If those with vested interests can take the initiative to give way, how to explain the words "people's hearts are private"?
"Your Majesty doesn't have to worry, the minister will inform Hu Mengyu of His Majesty's intentions. Hu Xianggong's temperament is as fierce as fire, and he is brave and fearless, and he will not live up to His Majesty's trust. ”
Seeing Zhao Hong's face cold, Zhou Ping's heart was secretly tight.
"Don't tell him, let him figure it out on his own. Almost forty people, he shouldn't give in easily! ”
Let Hu Mengyu implement the new policy, the most important thing is the matter of the meridians. If the acres of land are cleared, more than half of the shortcomings of agriculture will be eliminated. Only when the problem of peasants is solved can other new policies for industry and commerce and mining continue to be launched.
As for industry and commerce, such as smelting and casting, textiles, ceramics, shipbuilding, handicrafts, etc., industry developed, and commerce naturally flourished.
Of course, this requires a good environment of government and perfect legal protection.
Therefore, it is imperative to fight corruption and fight corruption, which is the foundation of the country.
