Chapter Twenty-Five: Death Inside and Out
Two years of insulting the Holy One?
Twenty years is to leak the top secret of the Great Song Dynasty?
The fact that Zhao Guangyi is a stupid pig is the top secret of the Great Song Dynasty?
Everyone looked at each other.
Lu Yijian and the others wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, and they quickly held back their internal injuries.
Zhao Zhen's face was stiff, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
He now regrets listening to Da Song's jokes.
Yan Shu couldn't help but glance at Zhao Zhen, and there was a bit of complaint in his eyes.
Originally, he had stopped Zhao Jun from telling jokes about the Great Song Dynasty before, but Zhao Zhen was curious and wanted to hear it, and now he can't get off the stage.
"Forehead ......"
After a while, Fan Zhongyan laughed twice and said, "Teacher Zhao, this joke is very good, don't tell it again next time." ”
"What? Oh, I almost forgot, Uncle Rari is a fan of Zhao Guangyi. ”
Zhao Jun suddenly realized, a little embarrassed for a while, he guessed that the old village chief's face was probably not very good-looking.
"Let's eat."
Yan Shu had no choice but to change the topic.
Breakfast has been served, it is a bowl of gruel and two steamed buns, and the amount of food that Zhao Jun has served for so many days Yan Shu already knew.
Zhao Jun finished his breakfast and shouted to go out for a walk.
Fan Zhongyan and Yan Shu went up to support him on the left and right, and in order to prevent Zhao Jun from judging the abnormality from the hands of the two people, they only supported their arms and sleeves, and tried not to touch the skin through their clothes.
After all, both of them are from official families, they have never done much farm work, and their hands are not as rough as farmers, what if Zhao Jun finds out that something is wrong and becomes suspicious?
So don't touch it at all, so as not to be found out of the way.
That's the details.
In addition to his eye injury, Zhao Jun also had some external injuries, and he didn't go outside for more than 20 days, which made him feel that his limbs were about to be wasted.
Out of the room, a soft morning breeze blew, through the hazy gauze, he could vaguely feel a little sunlight, still invisible in his vision, but no longer as dark as before.
For the first time, he felt that the morning sun and the breeze were so lovely.
"Sss
Zhao Jun suddenly gasped.
Fan Zhongyan wondered, "What's wrong?" ”
"The wound on the inner thigh hurts."
"It's okay, this wound is relatively large, the doctor has stitched it up for you, it should heal soon."
"Maybe I haven't been out for too long, and I have a wound."
Zhao Jun walked a few steps, felt that his legs were weak, and he had to borrow the strength of Yan Shu and Fan Zhongyan to barely walk.
However, it is also the beginning of getting out of bed, walking a few steps a little and getting used to it is much better.
Coming out of the house, Zhao Jun could feel himself stepping on the plank, and after a few moments, he was out into the mud and gravel path.
The smell of birds and flowers came, and the air was particularly fresh, so he couldn't help but feel that the air quality in the depths of the mountains was good.
"This is my house, and in front of it is the Almugu house."
Yan Shu pointed to a pavilion in front of him and opened his eyes and said nonsense, the area of the back garden actually only accounts for one-twelfth of the entire palace, about 0.08 square kilometers, that is, 80,000 square meters.
It sounds huge, but it's the size of 10 standard football fields, and most of it is garden grass, and there are not many buildings, so it looks very empty.
But Yan Shu had to simulate a Nini village in his heart, so he had to make a model budget in his heart.
He even drew several drawings for this purpose.
Coming out of the small courtyard where Zhao Jun lives, there is a bamboo forest outside, a meadow after passing through the bamboo forest, and to the south is rockery, ponds, groves and farmland outside the Guanjia Palace.
Because Zhao Jun is blind, he doesn't need to rebuild a village.
It is enough to sketch the appearance of the village in front of Zhao Jun's eyes.
For example, this pavilion is Lu Yijian's house, the rockery is Wang Zeng's house, and the Guanjia Hall is Zhao Zhen's house.
There is no need to worry about whether it will be a goof.
What kind of house style, electrical appliances, all do not need to be considered.
Because Zhao Jun is blind!
Who's blind going to watch TV appliances?
And his legs and feet were also injured, and he couldn't walk, and all his movements were controlled by Yan Shu.
So to put it simply, this so-called Nini village is a fake village, with only people and no specific buildings.
Wang, codenamed Almugu, stood in front of the pavilion and greeted Zhao Jun: "Teacher Zhao, I am Algumu, and Ran La Azi is my granddaughter." ”
"Hello, hello."
Zhao Jun nodded again and again, he knew who Ran La Azi was.
On the side, Yan Shu was proud, Zhao Jun didn't let the students introduce when they were in class before, but now they still have to be introduced, and they can't waste their efforts.
Then he took Zhao Jun to walk on the gravel path in the imperial garden of the back garden, pointing out to the left and right sides one by one.
"This is the family of Kasyot, this is the family of Jidifazu, this is the family of Darabampa, this is the house of Riguadorjee, this is the family of Malgebi......"
Lu Yijian, codenamed "Malgebi", rolled his eyes, he strongly suspected that Yan Shu was doing it on purpose.
"Hello, hello."
Zhao Jun didn't dare to say anything, didn't dare to ask anything, nodded and said hello all the way, originally he wanted to go up and shake hands, but his hand was grabbed by Yan Shu and Fan Zhongyan and couldn't hold it, so he had to nod his head.
When he arrived at the porch of the Guanjia Palace, Zhao Zhen, who was alias "Waza Muguo", beckoned according to the script and said, "Teacher Zhao, come into the house and sit and drink saliva." ”
Although Zhao Zhen's face was full of enthusiasm, he was very excited in his heart.
During this time, because he couldn't reveal his identity, he could only be scolded passively, and Zhao Jun had to bear how he scolded him.
Now he finally has an identity and can communicate with Zhao Jun.
Zhao Zhen swore that if Zhao Jun still scolded him, he would find a way and reason to refute it fiercely, and Zhao Jun was speechless!
Hearing Zhao Zhen's invitation, without waiting for Zhao Jun to agree, Yan Shu and Fan Zhongyan carried him over there, and said as they walked: "I'm tired of walking, drink some water." ”
Zhao Jun was almost half-pushed and half-shelf, and he slandered in his heart that these two old men were really vegetables, and they were tired after only a few steps, and they were also the people who were the village chief and the village party secretary.
Soon he was carried to the corridor of the Guanjia Palace, and there was a table of eight immortals and a few chairs outside, Wang Shouzhong walked over with a tray and looked at Zhao Jun curiously.
He didn't know much, as a eunuch Wang Shouzhong fulfilled his duties and won Zhao Zhen's trust.
However, the Song Dynasty learned the lessons of the eunuchs of the Tang Dynasty and was extremely sensitive to the internal servants interfering in politics, so Wang Shouzhong understood the philosophy of self-preservation by listening, watching, and talking less.
Perhaps because of this, he was able to achieve a position that was known to all the provinces.
After putting down the water cup in the tray, Wang Shouzhong consciously retreated, walked more than 20 meters away, and couldn't hear the specific sound.
Zhao Jun was lifted to the chair and sat down, with an extra water cup in his hand, made of ceramics, and the touch was still good, which made him very surprised that there was such a cup with fine workmanship in this deep mountain and old forest?
"Teacher Zhao."
After Zhao Zhen handed the water cup to Zhao Jun, he said: "You said before that you can talk about history after class, how about we talk about it now?" ”
Zhao Jun heard this voice, it was the young man who refuted himself before and said that Da Song was still very powerful.
This made him wonder.
What about the impoverished mountain villages in the depths of Daliang Mountain?
Why are all the villagers so interested in history?
Is it because you are bored at home and read history books every day?
Don't you farm?
"What's your name?"
"Waza Muguo."
"Oh, hello, hello, I remember you said at that time that the Song Dynasty was very powerful?"
"Yes."
"Why do you think the Song Dynasty is powerful?"
Zhao Jun asked curiously.
Zhao Zhen said proudly: "The Great Song Dynasty, the land is vast and the things are rich!" ”
"Of course."
Zhao Zhen added: "This is not compared with the current New China, but with the ancient times." ”
"Ah, that's it?"
Zhao Jun scratched his head and said: "Is 2.8 million square kilometers also called a big land?" How to say that Liao has an area of 5 million square kilometers? At the same time, there was also the Western Arab Empire, which covered an area of more than 13 million square kilometers. ”
"Forehead ......"
Zhao Zhen was choked all of a sudden.
He heard Zhao Jun say that the area of the Song Dynasty was compared with that of New China, because he felt that the new era was strong after all, and it was normal for the area to be large.
But at least at the same time, the land territory of the Great Song Dynasty should be the widest.
After all, the concept of land area in this era is not too clear, and Zhao Zhen does not know how big the specific area of Liao is.
As a result, he never expected that the Liao State would be so vast, and there was an Arab Empire in the West with a territory many times larger than that of the Great Song Dynasty, which slapped him in the face.
For a while, Zhao Zhen couldn't find a reason to refute, so he stumbled for a while, and said, "It's ...... It..... The economy of the Great Song Dynasty is very good. ”
"And then?"
Zhao Jun asked again.
“...... Cultural prosperity? ”
"What else?"
"The Great Song Dynasty broke the door valve system of the Han and Tang dynasties?"
"Is that all? What else? ”
"And education!"
"Forget about education, Cheng Zhu Lixue imprisons people's minds and poisons women, all of which cater to the feudal dregs of the ruling class, and history textbooks criticize it."
"Forehead ......"
Zhao Zhen couldn't say anything for a while.
After all, there are only a few countries that can compare the national strength of a country.
Economy, culture, military, politics, science and technology, education, human resources, etc.
The economy and culture of the Song Dynasty are indeed okay, but apart from these two, what else can be done?
Technology?
Shen Kuo is only five years old this year.
The four major inventions, movable type printing, appeared in the Song Dynasty.
Moreover, movable type printing is far less effective than engraving printing in the matter of popularizing education.
Politics, education, human resources, etc., are incomparable.
Especially in education, what are the three obedience and four virtues, men are inferior to women, women are virtuous if they are not talented, starvation is a small matter, and a loss of discipline is a big thing, all of which are things at this time.
Since then, Cheng Zhu Lixue has carried forward, in the Tang Dynasty, women could go out with makeup, and in the Ming and Qing dynasties, it basically became a dead house without leaving the door, and it was also called "everyone's ladies".
There is also the Ming and Qing Dynasty Bagu Wen, which also originated from Cheng Zhu Lixue, imprisoned people's thoughts, poisoned women, fooled the people at the bottom, solidified the class, and finally cultivated people into slaves.
Therefore, although the Song Dynasty had a good development at the bottom and in universal education, in terms of the overall environment education, it began to degenerate from the Song Dynasty.
Zhao Jun heard that Zhao Zhen was silent, and he couldn't say why, so he said with a smile: "The economy of the Song Dynasty is indeed the peak of the feudal dynasties of the past dynasties, but its economy is too deformed, and eighty or ninety percent of it will be used for military spending, and there are millions of financial deficits every year, and the Renzong Dynasty has accumulated more than 30 million financial deficits, what is the point?" ”
"Hmm......"
Zhao Zhen is not easy to answer, because this is a fact, among the three redundant harms, the biggest problem is redundant soldiers, the annual financial revenue of the Song Dynasty is only sixty or seventy million, of which at least forty or fifty million is spent on military spending.
The annual income of officials is only 4 million guan, and the rest, including professional fields, silk cloth, grain, favors, ice charcoal, spices, and so on, is definitely not more than 10 million guan, which shows how big the military expenditure is.
Therefore, the economy of the Song Dynasty was indeed good, but the economy was good and did not spend money on the right path, but instead raised a large number of displaced troops with little combat effectiveness, which made no sense.
Zhao Jun continued: "The Song Dynasty cannot deny its economic achievements, but a healthy state finances must be reasonably planned, and military spending cannot be too high except in times of war." Our country's military expenditure now accounts for 7 or 8 percent of its fiscal expenditure every year, but even so, it is already the second largest military capability in the world. ”
"On the other hand, most of the financial expenditure of the Song Dynasty was on military spending, and the investment in education, science and technology, medical care, transportation, economic construction and other investments was very small, and the country stagnated for a long time without development, coupled with the imprisonment of feudal etiquette and religion, long-term superstition in Confucianism, and did not delve into science and technology, which eventually led to extinction."
"And even the largest military expenditure is a joke, spending so much money every year, raising a group of moths with low combat effectiveness, and the big head is basically eaten by those generals and magnates, and the forbidden army at the bottom falls on everyone's head."
"It's a good thing to be able to fatten some effective generals and train a group of elite soldiers."
"But the problem is that spending so much money to raise is waste, when there is money, this group of noble generals knows that they suck the blood of soldiers and take empty salaries to embezzle finances, and when the country is in crisis, they run faster than anyone else, and the posture of kneeling and surrendering is more than one standard, which is useless for the country."
"So the emperor of the Song Dynasty is stupid, what's the use of raising these things? It is better to spend all the money to subsidize the people at the bottom. ”
Take the money out to subsidize the people?
Zhao Zhen's spirits perked up, could it be that this is a clever way to govern the country?
Understand, this is called hiding wealth from the people.
At that moment, he asked: "Mr. Zhao, I have realized, is it possible to spend the money to the people to make the Great Song Dynasty rich and strong?" ”
"You've got a ball."
Zhao Jun smiled slightly: "I mean, spend the money on the people, and when the Song Dynasty falls, at least it will be able to have a good reputation in the mouths of the people." ”
Everyone was shocked, and they almost urinated at that time.
What is it?
When the Song Dynasty falls, at least it will be able to have a good reputation in the mouths of the people?
At the end of the speech, Zhao Zhen, Lu Yijian and the others looked at each other.
Zhao Jun scolded the emperor of the Song Dynasty, they are all used to it, and it doesn't matter.
Moreover, they are well aware of the dangers of redundant military activities, and naturally they also know how big interest groups have formed in this and how much resistance they want to reform.
But why don't you raise redundant soldiers and get money to subsidize the people, and the country will still perish?
