Chapter 294 Who will cheer?

Huang Tingjian didn't say what he "sads".

That's right, Zhao Xing did misinterpret the saint's language.

He used "conformity to this era" as an excuse to explain the philosophy spoken by ancient sages in the language of this era.

He said this in Guangdong.

If he says these words elsewhere, he may be overwhelmed by the saliva and bricks of scholars before he goes out, and he will not be affected by his words at all.

But this is the place where the imperial court pointed at it in Guangdong.

In Guangdong, no one dares to question Zhao Xing, because they are more or less beneficiaries of Zhao Xing's policy.

They knew that what Zhao Xing did was not consistent with the behavior of most officials in the Song Dynasty. There were many behaviors they basically couldn't understand, but they enjoyed great benefits from these actions.

Not to mention that the newly issued order of encouragement to learn will benefit their descendants, just say that the previous copyright law expanded its coverage, everyone in Guangdong has gained huge benefits from this executive order.

Zhao Xing's power is only in Guangdong, and he can only protect his inventions and creations in Guangdong. However, with his efforts, countless technical applications in Guangdong have been promoted in recent years. Now, Guangdong people do not have one or two workshops, so they are embarrassed to say hello to others when they go out. They enjoy the protection of their copyright expansion and deeply understand the charm of "creativeness". So they empathize with Zhao Xing's speech.

This theory, coupled with Zhao Xing's previous speech on "ritual" in Lianzhou, immediately blew over Guangdong's land like a hurricane. At first, the people who questioned this speech were all bigwigs of Sushi, but Guangdong students didn't care - Zhao Xing gave them money, gave them books, and provided them with various conveniences to let them understand the world. He was a student of Guangdong. It was happy. Studying in Guangdong, the government's subsidies could even support their families. Therefore, Guangdong students did not care about other people's accusations of "fallacies". They had subsidies to learn this theory.

In their opinion, there was a figure of a master standing behind Zhao Xing, and the Sixth Scholar of Sumen and a group of demoted officials were also standing behind him. These "sages of the world" made them look up to them, which made them convinced by the theory proposed by Zhao Xing. Therefore, among the many waves of negation, ordinary students in Guangdong borrowed various names, published books and articles to express their support - then, a baptism that shocked the soul began.

However, the scene of Zhao Xing's speech was not very enthusiastic. After Huang Tingjian finished speaking, the other three bachelors just smacked their lips and did not comment on Zhao Xing's words. The other two bachelors, Li Gefei and Liao Zhengyi, sat in the first row of seats below the audience, sitting side by side with Guangzhou officials. After Zhao Xing finished speaking, they were just dazed.

Because the theory Zhao Xing said was so shocking, many of the ideas in it subverted their worldview. They needed a long time to taste it before they could wake up.

The scene was silent, everyone was shocked and savored. Guangdong Xuezheng Fang Ci Peng walked onto the podium in an embarrassing silence, hesitantly announced the end of the meeting, and the students were extremely shocked. They walked out of the Mingtang as if they were lonely and despairingly...

It took them many days later that they recalled the speech and involuntarily cheered loudly for it.

At that time, only Shuai Fan muttered all the way: "Ah, I understand, I understand! Only those who are good at creating can live in the 'people'. When others use teeth to hunt. When someone uses spear, he is the 'people'; when others use spears, someone creates bows and arrows; when others use bows and arrows, someone creates crossbows, muskets and cannons, of course, he deserves to be the 'people'. What the adults said is right, the Six Arts of Gentlemen advocate creation, and what the ancient sages said. Now people only pay attention to superficial words. They are stupid."

"I'm afraid that people are not stupid nowadays, but people deliberately teach them to be stupid. For example, some people who use teeth to hunt. When others use spears, they tell others that using spears violates the 'tradition', which is 'evil', and 'Westernization', etc.... In short, it's a great rebellion." Zhao Xing said depressedly: "The people who say this must be the 'people-man' in the 'tooth hunting' method. They want to maintain their teeth advantages, so they don't want others to use spears or crossbows.

What’s scary is that their scams can often succeed. There are always people who follow them to oppose creation and transcendence. I’m worried that if anyone will listen to my speech, how much will they listen to it.”

"Listen, listen, listen," Shuai Fan answered with all his strength: "We Guangdong Copyright Law protects creation. We saw that the people have become 'people' because of creation. There is a clear benefit there. Why don't they believe it? I think that after hearing this, they felt a sudden enlightenment, and I felt this way!"

Zhao Xing sighed and said nothing.

Zhao Xing didn't know that this speech made him, the most incompetent student of Suma who had written a few poems and had been busy with official duties, surpassed several other well-known bachelors in one fell swoop and became a banner of Suma. Since then, although Su Dongpo continued to be demoted, his knowledge, his attitude towards flamenco life, coupled with his previous personal practice, and his academic propositions such as "priority for practicality and courage to create" advocated by Zhao Xing, have become more and more far-reaching...

In the first month of the following year, in the spring of 1097, the Western Knights of the Crusaders crossed the strait under the cover of the fleets of Venice, Pisa, Milan and Naples, and landed on Palestine. The first battle defeated the 200,000 Mamuliuk army in the defensive area and obtained the landing site. Subsequently, the Crusaders captured the Seljuk Tu Nikea, and the West Seljuk were destroyed. Soon, millions of farmers from fourteen European countries landed in Palestine. Under the cover of the Knights, they marched towards Jerusalem one after another. The Europeans ended a long seven-year famine in the form of war. This war means that the confrontation between the East and the West will begin in the next thousand years.

At the same time, in the East, Zhang Dun published the Yuanyou Party theory, engraved the names and names of the Yuanyou Party members on the stele. All the Yuanyou Party members listed on the stele are sinners of the country and the nation. Their works must be banned and burned, their academic theories must be banned, and even their copybooks are not allowed to be collected. In this storm of burning and banning, Su Shi invented the dragon bones and water wheels and the rice horses must not be spared. In addition, there is also the picture of "Xiyuan Elegant Collection" painted by Li Gonglin...

Zhao Xing accepted the imperial edict submitted by Wang Ying in his mansion. He glanced lazily and complained: "A certain family was also a Jinshi who passed the imperial examination during the Yuanyou period, and was a Jinshi under the name of his teacher, Mr. Po. Why is there no name in the Yuanyou Party Monument?"

Wang Ying's face turned green, and he kept complaining: "Oh my God! This Yuanyou Party Monument is still on the list. Does he think it is an honor?"

Wang Ying didn't know that he was persecuted by Wang Anshi's party members. In the years left in the Song Dynasty, it was indeed a supreme honor. Many Yuanyou party members specially set up a Yuanyou party monument at their doorstep and then outlined their names with red lacquer. When the people saw the Yuanyou party monument erected the courtyard at their doorstep, they couldn't say anything about their admiration, believing that these people were gentlemen, and they were suffering in the people, not those party sticks who were determined to "represent the voice of the people". They walked through such a doorstep. They all consciously got off their horses and fell into the sedan chair and walked by.

This custom continued until the mid-Ming Dynasty, and it was not until the Qing Dynasty entered the pass that this custom was officially extinct.

Wang Ying replied sarcastically: "Zhang Xianggong said that the court intends to set up a special institution to seek justice for the officials and people who were demoted, persecuted, and hit during the Yuanyou period. In addition, this Yuanyou Party Monument must be established in various state schools to warn students..."

Zhao Xing interrupted Wang Ying and touched his chin. He said thoughtfully: "To be honest, during the Yuanyou period, the Qing Tang people were persecuted the most because our army completely crushed their hope of invasion during the Yuanyou period and formally occupied their land - is there any intention of the court to rehabilitate the Qing Tang people, recognize the legitimacy of their killing of the Song people, and return the land they were seized... What, no?! It seems that the court has not been confused yet, "I would rather have the weeds of our party than the wheat seedlings of the other party," and there is a rescue!

Haha, Wang Chaweng, I have to admit honestly to you that I, the Yuanyou Party member, have also persecuted - no, it should be said that I severely destroyed the Jianing Army, destroyed the Xixia people, and destroyed the Wuzi Zhang of the Xixia. The court has demoted me to Lingnan now. Is it interesting to be the people of Xixia? Rehabilitation of the Wuzi Zhang of the Zhaoxue..."

Wang Ying decided to ignore Zhao Xing's words.

During this period, Wang Ying has gradually calmed down. This person likes comfort. Once Wang Ying stopped jumping, he immediately felt the benefits of being an official in this malaria-stricken place in Guangdong. What should he do when he is an official in Guangzhou? Wang Ying himself answered: Go to the restaurant in the morning and go to the "Spring River Moon Night" at night. As for official duties - all officials in Guangzhou are like this. Even the magistrates of each state hold a title and don't work just by taking money, because all administrative affairs are controlled by students (minor officials) appointed by Zhao Xing.

Guangdong has a lot of money, and every few days he often sends some money that is unfair to the officials. At first, Zhao Xing tried his best to figure out the reasons for paying money, but later he simply didn't bother to ask why the money was sent. As long as he shouted in the yamen, the officials would be honest and lined up to receive the money excitedly.

There is too much money here. As long as you don’t cause trouble for Zhao Xing, such days will last forever. You will receive a good assessment after three years of employment. If you want to renew your position, you will talk to Zhao Xing and don’t want to renew your position, you will rely on your rich official to go to the capital to engage in activities. In such a leisurely life, Wang Ying has completely surrendered. He is now learning from Wenxun, and asks the subordinates sent by Zhao Xing to draft a document and copy two copies every day. One copy is given to Zhao Xing. After Zhao Xing’s permission, he will quickly send the document left in his hand to the capital.

After such days, Wang Ying became accustomed to it. He had already discovered that he had become a member of the Guangdong interest circle, so he had no courage or dared to imagine what he denied Zhao Xing, so he had to mock him a few words in his stomach.

Zhao Xing seemed not to notice Wang Ying's silence. He turned his eyes to Wanqiyong and turned to Shuai Fan. Shuai Fan turned his face to not welcome Zhao Xing's gaze. Wanqiyong touched the goatee and reminded thoughtfully: "Sir, it's the 'county summoning' now."

Zhao Xing's three-year term this year has expired. According to the rules, he will be subject to the examination in February to decide whether to transfer.

When Wan Qiyong reminded him, Zhao Xing touched his head and replied: "It seems that I need to find something for the court... Let's report to the court. There was a turmoil in Guangxi; there was a turmoil in the southern part of Dali, and the southwest Yi entered the country and robbed..."

Wang Ying's lips trembled. He wanted to stand up and ask: Is there anyone who made such a fake? In front of me, the court inspector, he dared to make up lies directly, so why would he let me live?

But Wang Ying didn't dare to say this.

Shuai Fan dared to say that, and he shook his head: "There is turmoil in Guangxi, so Zhang Tian should say that it is not appropriate."

"Then let Zhang Tian say, tell him that there is indeed turmoil in Dali..."

There is indeed chaos in Dali, which was initiated by Zhao Xing.

On the morning of the day, Zhao Xing's bell tower was unveiled. In the same month, the Crusaders captured Odessa and Antioch and established the first few crusad countries.

The Shanchan Mansion Bell Tower donated by Zhao Xing is the Song Chamber of Commerce Hall in Dali, Guangdong, Guangxi. Zhao Xing also sent an official to "stay" in the guild hall. This bell tower is a semi-official and semi-civilian comprehensive institution. Below it is a large commercial building with four bell tower-like "upstairs" on the roof, which is a temple, a hospital, an official house, and a businessman's office point to help Song Chambers adapt to Dali life. The temple on the roof is a Nestorian temple. Under the church hall, under the lotus cross, the portrait of the Savior is engraved with a famous saying common to Christianity and Arabic religion: "In the sky and the earth, I am the only one, I am the only god."

Dali was at the time when the conflict between Hinduism and Buddhism was the most intense, including the Milu tribe, Luoxiong tribe, Luowen tribe, Dali Duan tribe, and the powerful minister Gao tribe were tense due to religious conflicts and political conflicts. This sentence from Nestorianism added fuel to the tension.

Taking the majesty of the Song Dynasty, the Dali people did not fight back against the arrogance shown by the Great Bell Tower, but they did not know that Zhao Xing sent people there to cause trouble. The group of Nestorians received guidance from Zhao Xing. With the performance of the Guangdong Song and Dance Troupe, they began to apply medicine to the people of Dali and tried their best to promote their teachings.

Whether it is Buddhism or Hinduism, it is a fee-based religion, and monks will not pray for you if they don’t give money. With the financial support of Guangnan Kuangda, Nestorian does not charge believers, but instead treats and gives medicines to people who believe and do not believe in the treatment of tropical diseases. With the help of cinchona frost, Nestorian has gradually gained a foothold in Shanchanfu in the fight for the hearts of the people.

Originally, the Song Dynasty had strong cultural advantages in the face of Dali. The strong cultural atmosphere reflected by the magnificent performance of the Guangzhou Song and Dance Troupe has deepened the admiration of the Dali people for the Song culture and awakened their long-lost awe. In addition, whether they know or not, they will treat the disease or not. As a result, even if they are sick, they will be treated and given medicine. As a result, even if the Dali people do not believe in this religion, they still have a deep affection for the Song people.

Since then, Hinduism, which is fighting endlessly, Buddhist monks have been involved. Their witchcraft has been defeated in front of Jinji Nashuang. The angry monks have begun to prepare to provoke trouble. Recently, many fights have occurred in the Song people's guild hall of Shanchan Prefecture. For this reason, Zhang Tian and Zhao Xing have submitted several memorials to express their serious concern for this incident and ask the Dali Duan to attach great importance to it. However, once this protest letter enters Dali, it is like a stone sinking to the sea. Dali Duan is now like a puppet, and he has no say.

When the memorial entered the capital, everyone knew that Zhao Xing was practicing merchantism in Guangdong. The merchants were wronged in other countries. Zhao Xing did not hesitate to use force to destroy other people's countries. Now Zhao Xing was talking about the matter with Song Shang again. After he and Zhang Tian submitted the letter to the Political Affairs Hall, Zhang Dun was immediately happy when he saw this letter. He looked around and said with a smile: "This Zhao Liren probably has set his sights on the Duan family of Dali again."

Lin Xi and Zhao Xing had a relationship. Now in the court, he claims to be Zhao Xing’s friend. Zhang Dun said this with three points of expectation, three points of helplessness, three points of greed and one point of love. Lin Xi also smiled and stirred up the flames: "What are you waiting for? Let's count the money."

Zeng Bu said puzzledly: "I'm surprised. In the past, Di Qing and Guo Kui worked hard to recruit 200,000 imperial guards. It took a long time to fight. It took years to win that battle. Why is Zhao Liren different? He has only a thousand men under Guangnan, and he is still a "demon-subduing army". But not long ago, he destroyed Zhan Po and heard that it didn't take much effort, so he robbed 160 million... This is the number reported by Zhao Liren, and the official price is more than this number."

Zeng Bu didn't know such a data: hundreds of years later, the French conquered Vietnam, only a hundred troops; the Spanish conquered the continent with hundreds of millions of people in the Americas, and only 168 soldiers were used. The gap between the two eras, creation and observing the old rules cannot be made up by personal efforts.

Cai Bian added: "In fact, we sold 210 million yuan of those treasures, which is equivalent to the taxes of our emperor and Song dynasty for two years."

Zhang Dun smiled and said, "Don't tell Zhao Liren this number, he will seize money in the future..."

Cai Bian is Cai Jingdi's younger brother. Cai Jing and Zhao Xing have a good relationship and are wearing pairs of pants. Of course, he refused to accuse Zhao Xing, but he rolled his eyes secretly. Zeng Bu is a good man, and he is unwilling to attack others casually. When Zhang Dun said this, Zeng Bu also happily said: "Is it still less money for Zhao Liren to detain land? I heard that since the first batch of Zhan Po gold and silverware were shipped to Bianliang for sale, Zhao Liren immediately deducted 10% - this guy never treats himself badly."

After Zeng Bu said this, no one was resistant. Zhang Dun waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's not too much to deduct only 10% of the money. Zhao Liren did things. He contributed 210 million to the court, and the court only gave him millions of yuan to compensate the merchants. I think he was willing to do it... I won't talk about this anymore. The money was handed over to the court to compensate the merchants. The court only gave him a thin bone. It was originally not the court. It was natural that he deducted 10%... I won't mention it anymore, I won't mention it anymore."

Cai Bian rolled his eyes and opened his mouth to say, but he didn't make a sound. Lin Xi saw his expression and clapped his hands and replied: "Ah, I thought of it. It seems that Zhao Liren's term of office has arrived. Now there is something wrong in the south. Are we..."

Zhang Dun shook his head and said with a smile: "Actually, Zhao Liren shouldn't be so petty for me. Although he can make money and is somewhat affectionate with me, this person is unruly. I originally wanted to let him sharpen his temper in Guangdong, at least he needed to beg me so that I could transfer him to the mainland.

However, he really asked me, who planned to transfer him to the Ministry of Revenue. After Li Chang, Su Che and Fan E left, the Ministry of Revenue was in chaos, with famines everywhere, and wars in Shaanxi were constantly on the rise. I really needed a 'golden hand' to help me manage the Ministry of Revenue. I already knew Zhao Liren's methods, and now it depends on whether he would bow his head."

Zhao Xing refused to bow his head. In March, Dali finally had a bloody incident as Zhao Xing expected. Guangdong officials urgently withdrew from the Song Dynasty Art Troupe. Zhang Tian and Zhao Xing shouted together: If Dali cannot protect the rights and interests of Song Shang, then the Song court will not be afraid to protect Song Shang himself.

This is a threat to war.

Zhao Xing destroyed the Kingdom of Champo, and the news had spread throughout the south. The fact that he forced King Boni to surrender was only quietly circulated in the army. However, even if everyone did not know about the Boni incident, Zhao Xing dared to attack Zhanpo with hundreds of people, and his courage and lawlessness were also deeply feared by small countries in the south.

After receiving repeated warnings from two masters from Guangdong and Guangxi, Duan of Dali sent someone to apologize to the two masters, while sending envoys to Bianliang, hoping to use the name of Dayi to let the Song Dynasty court put a bridle on Zhao Xing's fierce horse...

Dali was busy apologizing, and then, the continuous rainy season arrived, and Dali breathed a sigh of relief. The arrival of the rainy season also meant that transportation was inconvenient, and they also cut off information from the outside world.
