Chapter 1,530 Locking the Courtyard

Later, the imperial court held a national memorial ceremony for Sima Guang at the Daxiangguo Temple. Da Su went there and found that the food provided was vegetarian, so he asked: "Uncle Zheng is not a Buddhist, why is Hu a vegetarian?"

Cheng Yi replied: "Rites, don't drink alcohol or eat meat when you're in mourning. On the day of your death, it's the day after mourning."

Su Shi ordered meat to be purchased and made another witty remark: "Those who serve the Liu family are left-handed."

This is an allusion. After the death of Liu Bang and Empress Lu, Zhou Bo and Chen Ping discussed removing the military power of Zhu Lu and establishing Emperor Xiaowen.

At that time, Zhou Bo entered the army and issued an order: "Those who belong to the Lu family will support the right side, and those who belong to the Liu family will support the left side."

All the people in the army were loyal to the Liu family, so Zhou Bo took control of the military and eradicated all Lu.

As soon as this statement came out, Fan Zuyu, Zhu Guangting, Jia Yi and others chose to be vegetarians, while Qin Guan, Huang Tingjian and others chose to eat meat. From then on, they were officially separated into two distinct camps, forming the later "Luo Party" and "Shu Party".

Now Su You comes first and writes a letter to kill this sign.

Gao Taotao ordered the ceremony to choose a date.

Before Ji Wei, he presented the Jingling Palace to the imperial court. Xinyou enjoyed the Mingtang in great splendor and was accompanied by Shenzong.

In Renxu, Su You held the funeral for Sima Guang, and the Empress Dowager brought Zhao Xu and officials from the two provinces to pay their respects in person.

The ceremony was held solemnly and solemnly. Afterwards, Su Song went to beg for his elders and asked for a foreign appointment.

In fact, Su Song wanted to make way for Su You.

At the same time, Su Che also wrote a letter asking for a foreign appointment.

After weighing the matter, Gao Taotao agreed to Su Song's request, but the arrangement was very good - Yangzhou.

Yangzhou is Lao Zongxiong’s basic position. Counting this, this is Su Song’s third time taking charge of Yangzhou.

However, Su Che's request for a foreign appointment was rejected by Gao Taotao. Not only did he refuse, he also made two appointments in a row.

Ding Mao, with the title of Qi Lang, and Yousi Jian, Su Zhe was appointed as a member of Zhongshushe, and Su Shi, a member of Zhongshushe, was appointed as a Hanlin scholar.

After Su Shi took office, he immediately wrote a letter: "The law of military service is considered inconvenient in the world, and the one who single-handedly admonished several officials took charge of the discussion and thought it could not be changed.

Recently, I heard that Zhang Xing, an estranged minister, spoke out about his shortcomings, while Han Chuan, the admonishing officer, slandered him deeply and even wanted to slander him again.

There is no other meaning in this. When Sima Guang was alive, he wanted to be in harmony with the light; now that he is dead, he mistakenly thought that His Majesty took the words of the Lord Light.

As everyone knows, you are extremely sincere and do your best to serve the public, and do not ask for cooperation from others; and your Majesty is humble and selfless, so you have no master!

Shi Guang has been fine so far, but if he sees some shortcomings in his method, it will last longer.

Whenever the ministers saw Lu Gong's writings, An Tao, Lu Dafang, and Fan Chunren, they all said that it was inconvenient to send troops, but they were afraid that Taiwan's remonstrances would be disputed and the soldiers would be difficult to reconcile.

May your Majesty ask Mr. Lu and others, please tell me about Chen Chai. Each of the two methods of hiring has certain advantages and disadvantages. In the past, how much money did the average household pay per year for hiring servants? Now, how much does it cost to hire servants every year?

Every few years, you can go on duty every few years. You can make up for your shortcomings by making up for your strengths. You can meet them by appointment and calculate them accordingly. The benefits and harms are clear.

What's more, when farmers are in the government, corrupt officials and cunning officials cannibalize them. Compared with hiring people, the pain and pleasure are ten times greater, and the people are left poor and helpless, which harms the harmony of yin and yang.

If what I have said now is of little use, I will beg to stay in the middle and carry out the holy will. The common people will go up to answer the heavenly precepts, and I will protect the common people."

This was actually a replica of Su You's previous opinion. Three months later, the old matter was brought up again, and Sima Guang was brought in to attack, saying that the facilities for mobilization should be decided on the basis of detailed statistical data.

Gao Taotao ordered Lu Gong to write a meeting.

Lu Gongzhu immediately wrote a letter and answered the question raised by Su Shi: "Your Majesty is smart and young, but his wisdom is obvious.

Qianxiang's draft of the regulations on labor service was sent down various roads to the Department of Examination, and now it is true.

The pros and cons of the two methods of difference and employment have been discussed in detail before.

Today's major battle will focus on Ningxia Road City, Hebei Fanghe Railway and the East-West Railway.

The prefectures and counties have submitted requests for laws to exempt them from military service. They should act within their words, give a little leniency, and reduce the rest. Many people will be happy to follow it.

The rest of the heavy-duty services that cannot be carried out by prefectures and counties should be listed in the household department, and special funds should be allocated according to the budget for implementation.

Gao Shilin was promoted to the Railway Bureau, and he followed this method and built railways for thousands of miles. There was no complaint from the state and county servants, so it was good and feasible.

This is because the world has changed and time has changed. It was disadvantageous ten years ago, but it will also be beneficial after today.

The law of begging is still based on the employment of servants. Based on the service from the sixth year of Yuanfeng to the present, the states and counties make plans in advance and carefully consider their needs.

Those with a surplus of people's power will be exempted from tax and relief, and those with insufficient people's power will be allocated state funds. Then everything can be done and everyone can be at peace."

Guiyou, the imperial edict: "For those who are at the fifth or higher level of the roads, squares, and guos, as well as those who are singles, female households, or the third or higher monasteries, they will be exempted from military service and will receive a five-cent reduction, and the rest will be released in full, starting from the second year of Yuanyou. "

"We still hire servants and prepare a budget. Xu Zhizhou County has enough money and food left over."

"If there is any shortage, the Department of Transportation will report to the Ministry of Household Affairs to initiate a project request for payment."

"Special information on the re-enactment of the Mingxiang Determining Service Law and Bi Zhongyou's Regulations."

Mr. Anshi’s immunity from military service was finally preserved!

…

The Imperial Academy is a confidential place, and all bachelors must be locked up after get off work, which is called the lock courtyard.

The imperial court was troubled and there was a lot of writing and writing. As soon as Su Shi entered the court, he fell into writing hell.

In addition, there were many requests and tasks assigned by the imperial court, such as the deeds of big bosses Fu Bi, Sima Guang, and Wang Anshi, epitaphs, Shinto monuments, and countless other writings and books.

Sima Guang's epitaph was written by Fan Zhen, which quoted Su Shi's "Sima Wenzheng Gong's Deeds", but involved Wang Anshi, saying: "In the past Xining, when Yang Jiu counted at the end, he said that the sky was not enough to fear, and that the people were not enough to obey. , saying that the ancestors are not worthy of the law, that is, they are stubborn and cruel.

Fan Zhen was an elder who supported the Su family. He had a close friendship with Su Shi and Su Che, and they were both Shu people. Su Shi always respectfully called him "Fan Erzhang".

After Fan Zhen finished writing the epitaph, he asked Su Shi to write the calligraphy. Su Shi thanked him and said: "It is not appropriate for Shi to write an article of two feet, but I am afraid that after writing it, the three families will suffer disaster."

After Su You heard about it, he also wrote to Fan Zhen: "Those who are deficient in the three factors are planning questions for Sima Twelve Zhangs Examination. This is not what Duke Jing said. You were in Beijing in the past and learned that the late emperor gave detailed answers to his questions."

"The public is a well-known minister and a scholar, and the current expectations are very important. Can the article not be true? If you beg to delete this sentence, it will hardly be ridiculed by future generations, and Zizhan will not hesitate to do so."

Fan Zhen De Shu shook his head and said to the guest: "It's normal for Ming Run to be stable. It's rare for Zizhan to make such progress."

So he smiled and deleted the "three deficiencies" sentence in the epitaph, and then ordered Su Shi to write it.

Fortunately, there were not many things going on today. Su Shi came out of the library, stretched his stiff body, took out a pair of walnuts from his sleeve, and rubbed them in his hands.

Scholar-officials wrote for a long time every day, and when they had free time, they needed to relax their hand muscles. This was a method Su You brought to this time and space. Nowadays, among the scholars of the Song Dynasty, it has gradually become popular to plate walnuts and rub beads.

When the veteran cleaning officer saw Su Shi, he put away his broom and stood aside: "Bachelor, you have worked hard, but you have to leave early today."

Su Shi smiled and said, "It's hard work for you too. The bad guests didn't come today?"

The old army laughed and said: "After a few days of vegetarianism, I guess I am honest."

The riddle the two played was about Han Zongru.

Han Zongru is the eldest son of Han Wei, and he is also a foodie who likes to make mischief. When he was in Shaanxi, Yao Lin liked Han Wei's calligraphy. Han Zongru often stole his father's calligraphy, and then went to Yao Lin to exchange for mutton. One post could be exchanged for dozens of catty.

When they arrived in the capital, the boy set his sights on Su Shi. Han Wei often had official exchanges with the Hanlin Academy and needed imperial bachelors to write orders.

Whenever Su Shi came to visit, Han Zongru sent several letters to the courtyard every day, and then ordered the messenger not to leave.

If Su Shi said that he needed to wait, the messenger asked Su Shi to write a note so that he could take it back and reply.

After a few times, Su Shi also felt strange. One day, he mentioned this matter to Su You in a casual conversation.

Su You knew the hobbies and allusions of the generals in Shaanxi very well. When he found out that Han Wei's secretary was still his eldest son Han Zongru, he knew that the boy's old habit had returned. He laughed so much that he told the story to Su Shi.

The next time when he was in charge, Han Zongru indeed sent someone again, and he still shouted for a reply. Su Shi was angry and funny: "I have told you that the massacre will be stopped today!"

Let the old army guarding the bachelor's hall take the messenger out.

Su Shi also had no airs. While he was joking with Lao Jun, he saw a palace envoy coming, followed by a soldier carrying a load. His face was expressionless: "Your Majesty has called, and the bachelor is on duty today."

Su Shi cried out bitterly: "I've already dismissed and am getting ready to go home for dinner."

The palace envoy still had no expression on his face: "Your Majesty has already considered it and will give you special food, wine and palace candles. Bachelor, please continue."

Damn, what's going on?

It was definitely something important, and Su Shi didn't dare to ask, so he had to thank him obediently, let the old army take over the burden, and return to the museum.

The old army opened the burden, took out the food and wine inside, and while laying out the table, he repeatedly said: "I have been guarding the courtyard for twenty years, but no bachelor has ever received this honor."

Su Shi felt uneasy in his heart, waving his hand and saying: "Go down first, this is a big deal, I have to calm down."

The old army went and came back after a while, with four more letters in his hand: "The hospital has just been locked up, but it turns out there is hard work. The bachelor may not be able to sleep tonight."
