"Master Qin misunderstood Ruyuan's meaning. In fact, it was just some of Ruyuan's immature thoughts." Gou Long Ruyuan laughed blankly, he shook his head, and seemed to be weighing his words, before speaking for a long time. "The kingdom above the court is a great government, and it can be decided by the emperor's official family and the minister of the ruler. However, the people of the world are nurtured by the physical favors of the people, but they must treat others from their daily lives, and push them out of the ears and eyes. It is definitely not It can be changed by a piece of law on the court!"
"Since His Majesty the Taizu Emperor, I went to the curfew in Sui and Tang Dynasties. Apart from urging farming, I have never deliberately suppressed merchants and the like. Merchants’ benefits are a hundred times more profitable than farming. People gather in the center of the city and counties to make a living, no one wants to live in the border areas forever, and the various ways of doing business, as well as the calculations and calculations that the original merchants have only upheld, are also among the people of the Song Dynasty. Everyone in the middle is familiar with it. The court may be able to tell the king today, and the Ming Dynasty is also known as the Yuanyou treacherous party. However, the common people use daily life, but they are nothing more than seeking food, or even how to make it. Life is thriving, and it is extremely difficult to say that it is very difficult to change the course, but it is very easy to do it, but to reverse this change in people's hearts, it is extremely easy above the truth, but it is almost impossible to do it! "
"This kind of human heart education matters, you have the right to press and do not mention it." Gou Long Ruyuan is a student of the great Neo-Confucianist Yang Shi, and he can't help but always have the thoughts of heaven and human desire. Now that he has spoken a lot of words, he also knows that he has just spoken. Self-consciously sigh, although it is not unrelated to the things just now, it is a bit too vague, so I turned the words back and said: "It's just that these days, such as the Yuan Karma Meeting, I have come into contact with these people who were originally from I didn’t pay attention to the affairs of money, food, money, and silk. I discovered that this merchant’s trip, although it seems to be nothing more than a private transaction and small details, but in fact it has already penetrated into the muscles of my great Song Dynasty, and it can be said that it has quietly changed the upper and lower parts of the Song Dynasty. All aspects of operation!"
"Oh?" Qin Hui seemed to be aroused by Goulong Ruyuan's interest now. He stroked his beard and pondered: "Ruyuan said this, but it is quite novel and unique, but I don't know why Ruyuan made this judgment?!"
"Qin Xianggongguo is an extraordinary person", Goulong Ruyuan looked at Qin Hui, but he suddenly sighed with emotion. Then he shook his head and smiled bitterly: "If someone made such judgments in front of Ruyuan half a month ago, only I'm afraid that Ruyuan will let his family use a big stick to beat him out!"
"That is to say, these days, Ruyuan has watched a lot," Goulong said, but he still looks unbelievable until now. He sighed and said: "It's only then that I gradually discovered this merchant's behavior. , The spread of influence has spread all over the foundation of our country, such as the distribution of materials and labor in the Song Dynasty. Given the current situation, I am afraid that we are waiting to teach the people of the world with sage poems, but this Song Dynasty hall has to be more and more I tend to operate based on the principles of merchants!"
According to the legend of the last three generations, the Chinese civilization has always adhered to the principle of agriculture, and urged the mulberry, the rulers of the past, to believe that only those grown in the ground and woven from the textiles can be seen by the eyes. The things that can be regarded as real output, and in their view, the merchants are just profit-seeking people. What they do on weekdays is just to transport things from this place to another place to boast Rare and scarce, in exchange for the price difference, which is not known how many times, but at the root, it is still only bartering, and there is no increase in production of any products. Therefore, there is no benefit to the country. Although there was the influence of the relationship between living conditions and the level of production at that time, but it was also under the influence of this extremely simple concept. Since the record of history, the merchant class has had a history in addition to the end of the Spring and Autumn Warring States period and the early stage of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Outside of prime time, it has always been an object of rejection by the ruling class. However, after Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ousted a hundred schools and reigned in Confucianism, it was repaid a thousand years later. No matter how the dynasty and the country changed, he could not escape the influence of this thinking. For the merchants, he always held the same mindset. This cautious and fearful attitude originated from the reckless Emperor Taizu, the founding Emperor of Song Dynasty. Although he could not help the merchants, he still regarded it as just a few minor details and never really paid much attention to it.
However, once the power of business emerges, the chain reaction that will be triggered cannot be overestimated. Moreover, since the end of Han Dynasty, the world has been in chaos. Although the Sui and Tang Dynasties restored the world, the Sui Dynasty did not die in the second generation. In the Tang Dynasty, the separatist regime began to resume in the middle period. Seriously speaking, although the Song Dynasty was unable to regain the land of Youyan, the middle school was more peaceful than the previous dynasties, so the Song Dynasty was flourishing. , It is a precedent that has never existed in the past and the present. This aspect has made the Song Dynasty rich not only the best in the contemporary era, but also in the past and the present. On the other hand, the business operations of these merchants involve all aspects of daily use, which inevitably change. The entire Great Song Empire’s method of operation and thinking from top to bottom, it’s just that when it was, almost everyone was in the game and couldn’t observe it.
"Master Goulong meant to say that most of the reserves of military food, leather and other materials on the accounts in the court hall are mostly imaginary, and they only exist on the accounts?!" Qin Xi listened to Gou Longru Yuan said this for a long time, but when he heard such a sentence, he couldn't help but ask in amazement: "Who dares to be so bold?! Isn't this greedy for ink?! Lord Goulong, you..."
"Master Qin, don't worry," Goulong Ruyuan waved his hand, and said with a wry smile: "Ruyuan thought that day like Master Qin, but after careful investigation, he found that it was ridiculous!"
Most of the material reserves obtained by Goulong Ruyuan’s investigation were empty. Goulong Ruyuan was also shocked and inexplicably shocked that day. He thought that he had discovered a terrifying case. However, he was transferred to Yushitai for a thorough investigation. I found that it was not the same thing. These things did not disappear out of thin air, but a large part was converted into silver money, and a small part was replaced with other various things. If you really want to go according to the expenditure and income on the account. Forget it, this batch of warehouses is not less, but more.
"This... this..." Qin Xi was in disbelief. He was about to say something, but inadvertently, in the corner of his eye, he found that Qin Hui still had a calm expression, but stared at Goulong, who was lowering his head and thinking. In Ruyuan’s eyes, there was a sudden flash of cold light, and Qin Xi couldn’t help but feel chills. The words in his mouth turned into a meaningless emotion: "This is really strange!"
"After I understand the ins and outs, it's not a weird thing," Goulong Ruyuan smiled bitterly: "Moreover, all of this is in line with the laws of the Song Dynasty, which really makes Ruyuan quite helpless!"
The taxes of the past dynasties were not collected entirely by money. Even if it was the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, most of the taxes were followed by the two-tax system proposed by the former Tang Yang Yan. However, it is inevitable that it would be collected in kind. The system of taxes such as grain, cloth and silk is even more unavoidable. The products and standards vary from place to place, so there are also multiple algorithms such as using material to convert money and money to convert service.
With the prosperity of the Song Dynasty, the transportation system of the entire empire was almost changed. The cost of goods transported by merchants to the capital for sale through their own channels was often much less than that of the goods transported by official channels. The price is much cheaper, and in Kyoto, all the goods are almost complete, whether they are produced from the northeast frontier or the southwestern barbarians, you can find and buy them in Lin'an city, yes The officials of the Song Dynasty who were not lacking in economic acumen did not let the tax collections piled up in the warehouse and reprinted this book on the website of Shilu Literature. Instead, they sold them continuously according to seasonal demand and income. Yu Zhong made a lot of difference, but was able to keep the total amount on the storage account unchanged. After all, among the taxes and taxes, even if they are daily-used things like rice, they always follow. The seasons are different, and when the price is fluctuating, it is more likely to rely on the control of a lot of stored rice and the price of food in Lin'an. Goulong Ruyuan is a scholar. For this The tactics are really not so good. After looking at the accounts, I really can't see the problem, so I have no choice but to stop.
This actually involves a shift in business thinking, and it can even be said to be related to future economics propositions such as futures and supply and demand. Although Gou Long Ruyuan is a major generation of Neo-Confucianism, he has always regarded himself as a gentleman. It is really difficult for him to understand the profit-seeking path of those who can't afford merchants. If Bao Daren were here and had his bizarre experience, perhaps he wouldn't be surprised by the tremendous transformative power brought about by the rise of business.
It's just that these officials are only carrying out various operations and operations for the purpose of chasing interests, but they lack the full set of mature economic theories of later generations to support them. There is no concept of the importance of the country’s basic military reserves. On weekdays, such actions by these officials will not cause any inconvenience. After all, the abundance of supplies in Lin'an can be said to be the best in the world. , As long as there is no shortage of money, if you really encounter something that needs something temporarily, you can buy it directly. The big deal is to paste a little bit of the earned money, but in this extraordinary period of sudden war between Song and Jin, this Serious problems were immediately exposed, and it almost became a catastrophe.
"Because the emperor's official family drove personally, the officials in the ordnance warehouse really didn't dare to neglect. Based on what Ruyuan has seen and heard over the years, these officials are already exhausted. Go all out and try to deal with it." Gou Long Ruyuan waved his hands to Qin Hui and Qin Xi and smiled bitterly: "It's just that this Lin'an trip can be regarded as a collection of things on weekdays, and everything is prepared, but it is in this battle. At present, under the situation of more than 100,000 soldiers on the two fronts, they are really quite stretched. The ration alone has almost made the rice in Lin'an City rise for a while. Those officials The money and things that were originally put on the account originally seemed to be quite surplus, but later, it was obvious that it was no longer possible to mobilize the full amount of rations that should have been allocated in this Lin'an city!"
Qin Xi couldn't help but feel dumb for a while. He could be regarded as a long-term government affairs. I am afraid that this set of things above the officialdom is more familiar than Goulong Ruyuan, but he never thought of going to it for a while. Now I listen to Gou. Long Ruyuan spoke out, but he also understood that this situation was definitely not made by Goulong Ruyuan out of thin air, but must exist in real life.
And Qin Xi also understood what Goulong Ruyuan hadn’t pointed out. Such a move was not just the unique behavior of the officials who were in charge of money and food in Lin'an. The officials who control the materials and money at all levels and places should have been doing the same thing for a long time, and they have been doing the same thing.
After all, the Great Song Empire’s wartime logistics support and supply system, although it has its own set of laws and rules, but this time it is the emperor’s official imperial conquest. It is natural that the whole country should be used to support the front line. The hub is in place, I'm afraid that no one would dare to evade prevarication under such circumstances. If only the central government library located in Lin'an travels in the middle of Lin'an, there are problems such as those just mentioned by Goulong Ruyuan, then It is also possible to collect materials and rations on the spot from all walks of life. The officials who manage the storage and treasury of the central court are also in charge of the transportation of materials. With their experience and methods, they will inevitably be able to do this. Everything is done seamlessly.
Now that there will be a problem such as Goulong Ruyuan said, it can only prove that this situation does not only occur in the place where Lin'an Xingxing is located in the center of the Great Song Dynasty, but the various levels of storage under the rule of the Great Song Dynasty. Among them, there should be the same problem. If you continue to investigate carefully, I am afraid that the total value of the accounts at all levels and levels has not been reduced, but it is already mostly money and miscellaneous items, and the real food is real. Warehousing, but I don’t know how much remains.
One of the most direct consequences of the prosperity of commerce is to promote the extreme acceleration of the circulation of materials and money. Although the Song Dynasty could not help merchants, it was taxable and warehousing, revenue and expenditure and other systems. But it is especially set in accordance with the various measures of the old days. Compared with the rapid circulation of vitality in the entire society, it is inevitably so rigid. Those financial officials who extend from the center to all levels. We are in such an environment, seeing that we have such a huge resource in our hands, how can we withstand such temptation, and stick to the rules, sitting and watching the opportunity of waving a hand to make a million dollars pass by.
In fact, if the entire Song dynasty could be as peaceful as the previous century after the Liao and Song dynasties concluded the peace and negotiation alliance, the actions of these officials in charge of finances would really not be easily noticed by others, or even by others. , They can’t find any mistakes. After all, the convenience of material flow brought about by the development of commerce has made them feel that as long as they have enough resources in their hands, they can always have these things on their hands. The resources are easily traded into the materials they need, and there is no shortfall at all, and the huge profits brought by such transactions and circulation are just waiting for them to make money from the blank.
Since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, how many officials in charge of finances have been in touch with each other and imperceptibly. It has become a kind of unspoken rule in the Great Song Dynasty. It is only that the Great Song Dynasty and the Liao State established the Yuan Yuan After the alliance, the Liao and Song dynasties have been in peace for more than a hundred years. As for the struggle between the Northwest Frontier Army and the Xixia Kingdom, it has long been a normal state. The calculations of the financial officials are not unique. It can be said that this unwritten system was designed in accordance with the normal operation of the Song Dynasty. Based on the situation at the time, it was down. It is quite coincident with the principles of economic operation and venture capital in later generations. If Song Dynasty can always be in such a state of prosperity, then the actions of these officials will at best be enough to harm the public and the private. It cannot be called a disaster to the country and the people. After all, their behavior can be regarded as a supplement to the official ecology that is too strict with the traditional under the conditions of the prosperous business such as the Great Song Dynasty.
It’s just that, whether it’s the so-called investment or the adjustment and support of various resources based on the power of the state, the later generations are supported by a set of theories, and they are all taking into account the needs of national defense, basic material reserves, etc. After the demand, after having a clear overall concept, these officials in charge of finance are only relying on their own experience in such positions for more than ten or decades. In some nuances, the old oil on these officialdoms can really be done on the accounts. However, for some really crucial issues, such as the processing under the current wartime system, these On the contrary, the officials lacked relevant experience, were stunned and ignorant, and there was no corresponding way to deal with them, and they seemed particularly frantic for a while.
"Anyone missed the country." Qin Xi looked at Qin Hui with a noncommittal expression, and it took a long time to squeeze out such a sentence. He looked at Goulong Ruyuan and said: "Master Goulong is the post of adviser. , Why not take these black sheep into custody first and bring them to justice?!"
"These adults have been doing their best in these days," Gou Long Ruyuan spread his hands and shook his head: "Several officials have even sold their family assets and are struggling to raise money and rations. Reprinted in a book on Shilu Literature Net to meet the needs of the frontline, Ruyuan also thought about what Master Qin said just now, but these officials are themselves the most capable personnel in the Song Dynasty. Ruuo is here. When the time comes, they will all be taken into custody first, and they will be held accountable. I am afraid that the frontline war will not be profitable, but it will easily cause chaos in the country first, and then it will be difficult to clean up."
Those officials in charge of finance, when they discovered this completely unexpected situation in front of them, and their performances were violent, and no matter how difficult it was to deal with, they were all one or two feeling confused and uneasy, knowing if they did not support it. After passing this level, I am afraid that all of them will inevitably come to a disaster.
After all, on weekdays, if it was just some ordinary warfare and front-line battles, it would be fine, but this time it was the Jurchen army that came under the pressure of hundreds of thousands of troops. It was aggressive and meant to overthrow the Song Dynasty in one fell swoop. These officials have Many of the characters who escaped when the city of Bianjing was broken that day are still fresh and vivid in the memory of the tragic situation at that time. In any case, they dare not imagine that this trip to Lin'an will be staged again on the same day in Libian. The scene in the capital.
What's more, according to the strategy of using culture to control the military in the Song Dynasty, and most of these officials are from imperial examinations, there are a group of students in the DPRK that can be cited. If they are placed on weekdays, they will even be deducting some front lines. The military needs and belongings of the generals, those generals are not so convenient to meet the emperor to complain, and even if something really happens, someone will come out to cover up and talk, and it may not really happen. Come, but this time it was the emperor’s official imperial conquest. They went to the battlefield. Not to mention that they owed the rations and salaries, but the delivery was slightly delayed. That is enough to go directly to the sky, especially in this country. The fate of the world is tied to the key point of the First World War. If it is because of them that something has gone wrong, if it leads to a major defeat on the front line, then the Jurchen soldiers will come to the city, and then I will be a sword, I will be a fish, and I can only be slaughtered. Naturally, this is what they don’t want to see, but even if the frontline is undefeated, they owe military supplies at this critical moment, but it must be an inexhaustible crime. When the emperor's official family wins, it will return to the court. I am afraid it is impossible to let them go.
Therefore, these officials who are in charge of finances are not doing their best in judging the situation. In these days, in order to mobilize enough military supplies, almost all of them have already used the previous earnings. The family business that came here was also compensated. It is not an exaggeration to say that the family bankruptcy was bankrupt. I also tried my best to treat all financial officials at all levels under their jurisdiction with affection and reason. They expressed their prestige and asked them to mobilize enough military supplies nearby and send them to the front line. It is only the circulation of materials brought about by the prosperity of commerce, although it has the speed and convenience that the original official channels can’t reach, but it is commercial. The circulation of materials on the Internet also has its own unique laws. Under such a fierce battle and fierce flames, it is not easy to mobilize enough military supplies nearby in front-line states and counties.
What's more, this time the Song Dynasty had to face a two-front battle situation. In this kind of scarcity of materials, merchants hoarded and raised prices, even if the financial officials at all levels from the top to the bottom lost their possessions. After giving up the big price, at best, it can only keep the military supplies sent to the emperor's official house. As for Han Shizhong, under the weight of these financial officials, it can only be temporary. Abandoned.
"These officials have indeed tried their best. Not only have one or two of them been desperately ruining their fortunes, they have also used all of their abilities to maximize the deployment of resources available from the center to all levels. ", Gou Long Ruyuan smiled bitterly, and went on: "It's just that these officials can make the decision to temporarily stop the supply of military supplies from Han Shizhong and Han Shuai, and make every effort to ensure the side where the emperor official is located. The frontline battle situation is changing rapidly, how can it be weighed like this? The Jurchen army attacked from the direction of Shunchang City guarded by the emperor's official family, and they broke in from the direction of Hongxian Pass guarded by Han Shizhong and Han Shuai, yes As far as the Song Dynasty is concerned, there is not much difference at all. It is also a catastrophe that can lead to the destruction of the country and the collapse of the country and the repetition of the change of Jingkang!"
This time the emperor’s personal conquest, in terms of strategy, is naturally based on the army of the former Yue family army led by the emperor’s official family, and the army led by Han Shizhong is more of a lead role, but the Song Dynasty The civil servants in the central government have always pursued the system of controlling the military by literature. Naturally, these civil servants in the middle of the DPRK are from scientific research backgrounds, but they have basically read military books and performed martial arts. Although they are nothing more than paper talks, they understand it at all times. The two armies are fighting, and the other side is not a puppet paper puppet, but you can let it be at your mercy. The Hongxian Pass that Han Shizhong guards is indeed planned to be used only to lure the enemy to contain it, but this is after all just drawn on paper. If the Hongxian Pass is broken by the Jurchen gold due to the lack of munitions and food, the Jurchen cavalry swept down. The distance of hundreds of miles is just a day and night effort. Then there will be no strategic plans. Outside is just empty talk.
"So Ruyuan has been thinking about it over the years, and the two donation proposals proposed by Bao Daren may not be an old plan for the country. However, under such circumstances, the situation is already difficult to stop. Bu'er’s helpless action can be regarded as commendable!" Goulong Ruyuan raised his tea bowl, took a sip of tea, and came to a conclusion to his long-formed argument: "These days, it’s up to the implementation of those two items. Most of the money collected from the donation has already been handed over to the officials in charge of the munitions procurement office to raise food, wages and other munitions on the front line. It is precisely because of this that Han Shizhong and Han Shuai’s tens of thousands of soldiers along the way Finally, I didn’t fall into a situation where I was short of clothes and food, and I was able to support it all the way until now, so that the emperor’s officials could calmly use their strategy to lure the enemy, and with this great victory today!"
"Most of the money?" Qin Xi had heard that now, he had fully understood Gou Long Ruyuan's views on this matter. Although his position is different now, but Gou Long Ruyuan's words are reasonable, he is also There was not much to say, but in the words of Goulong Ruyuan just now, he heard some strange things and asked: "Master Goulong just said, there seems to be something to be done?! "
"This is what Ruyuan has to go to see and hear these days when he walks between the streets and mountains." Gou Long Ruyuan smiled faintly, turned his head to look at Qin Hui, and asked: "I wonder if Qin Xianggong remembers that day. After Rina Wanzuo was released from the imprisonment, he went to Xiangzhao and Bao Daren to meet each other. At the right time, Bao Daren was caught in a quarrel on the street?!"
"I don't remember the old man," Qin Hui laughed dumbly, and said: "Wan Tuan was originally Bao Daren's old master. When we met, we encountered some old grievances, which is also normal."
"Foster father always takes care of everything, and he has no time to care about these trivial things. My child knows a little about this matter." Qin Xi gave Qin Hui a salute and replied: "My child remembers that Bao Daren was not in the same day with Wan Tong. However, he encountered an old man on the street who lost his job and had no livelihood because of the proposal by Xu Xing of Yue Fei’s generation to force two donations. He was accusing him of harsh government and harassment of the people. , Forcing him to have no way to survive."
"Master Goulong just said that, Qin also thought about it carefully," Qin Xi turned his head and said to Goulong Ruyuan: "Although Bao Daren's discussion is a desperate situation under emergency, it is undoubtedly harsh. If it is the time when the warriors of Yue Fei's generation can put aside their prejudices and explain all the situation to us openly and openly, with me in front of the hall, the Gonggon officials will brainstorm, it is not difficult to find a proper solution It’s just that Yue Fei’s generation is too obsessed with prejudice, and even hastily introduced such a government that disturbs the people. The emperor’s official family trusts Lin’an with the post of staying behind. What kind of trust is that, even if there is a last resort, but this It is still too much!"
"Master Qin seems to know only one thing about the situation on that day, but not the other one." Gou Long Ruyuan was not annoyed by Qin Xi's interrogation, and still explained unhurriedly: "I also did the Yushi Taichung that day. A colleague was at the scene, but he explained the situation to Ruyuan afterwards. At that time, Bao Daren told the old man who was crying in the street because of his helplessness. He collected these two donations. In order to balance the difference between the rich and the poor, cut off the excess and make up for the deficiencies, all of them are taken from the wealthy businessmen, and they will be taken from the people and used by the people, ordinary people will only go Mu Qili, and will never suffer any harm!"
"It's true that Ruyuan has always had no good feelings about this Bao Daren, but the words of Bao Daren that day really made Ruyuan feel refreshed." Gou Long Ruyuan was not at all about it. Without hesitating, he sighed slightly, and said: "These days, Ruyuan walked between the streets and the streets, just to see what this Bao Daren said that day, he really did it and did it. , Or was it just arguing and arguing under the circumstances of the day."
"Listen to the ins and outs of Lord Goulong's words, I don't even know the result of this." Qin Xi looked at Goulong Ruyuan and sneered: "It's just that I, Song Zilai, ruled the world with benevolence and filial piety, peace of mind, disaster relief, and congee. There are so many kinds of medicines, and each item is responsible for each item. Everything is in order. Even if there are a hundred wastes to be done after the Nandu, Lin'an travels within a hundred miles, regardless of the severe winter and heat, there has never been a refugee who has died of freezing and starvation. In danger of death, even if Daren Bao is really returning all the property he obtained to the people, it is nothing more than icing on the cake, and outside the court law, don't open the side door, whether it is appropriate or not, it is just between the two talks! "
"What's more, I have always used courtesy and law to persuade people. The officials do not disturb the people. Those wealthy merchants are also my Dasong people. Even Lord Goulong did not admit that I am rich and prosperous. I really rely on these merchants. The power of operation, Daren Bao acted like this, even if he has a thousand reasons, he still can't escape this suspicion of disturbing the people." Qin Xi squinted his eyes, squinted towards Goulong Ruyuan, and said coldly: "This During the rebellion, although Qin was worried, after all, since the founding of the Song Dynasty, the emperor and the scholar-officials have ruled the world together, followed the way of the sages, and established a prosperous era of civilization. For more than a hundred years, the people of the world are in peace. Reckless behavior, after all, is no more than a temporary disaster, but now I see my literati in the forest, even a major academic such as Lord Goulong, has such unexpected thoughts and actions, I can't help but make Qin not startled. Does Lord Goulong think that we, Da Song, should have another King Jing?!"
Qin Xi's words made Gou Long Ruyuan listen, and he couldn't help but frowned slightly.
In the nearly 100 years since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, apart from the changes in Jingkang caused by the opening of Jurchen’s invaders, the largest turmoil in the whole country was caused. It may be regarded as the joint of the Emperor Shenzong and the king of Jing Anshi. The "Xining Reform" promoted.
On that day, Wang Anshi did not follow the old system and wanted to overcome the shortcomings of the Song Dynasty. He had his own unique views on many aspects of political system, finance, and military administration. It happened to be ambitious, and he also intended to promote the advantages and eliminate the disadvantages, and revitalize the Chinese atmosphere. Shenzong's emperor, therefore, was vigorously implementing the new law, which caused a drastic change in the court. Although for various reasons, Shenzong died early and Wang Anshi retired, but the influence of this reform made the people in the world have a lot of trouble. This split into a new party that supported the new law and an old party that advocated the maintenance of the ancestral law. After the Shenzong dynasty, the old and new party disputes became the mainstream of the Song Dynasty political situation, and it even extended to the beginning of the Song Dynasty’s southern journey. Can completely get rid of the entanglement of the old and new party disputes.
The entanglements here are complicated, and the pros and cons of the new law are not exhaustive. It’s just that when the city of Bianjing was broken that day, it was the people of the world who were appointed to the emperor of the Taishang Dao Emperor who had died in Mobei at that time. The dissatisfaction of the few dignitaries who called the New Party students reached its peak, and was dubbed the "six thieves" by the ruling and opposition parties. It can be said that the reputation of the New Party has long been ruined by these power officials. Therefore, after today’s emperor’s official family traveled south to the throne, at the beginning of their ascension, they clearly expressed their aversion to the new law, and wanted to restore the ancestral system and regard the education of sages as the basic meaning of governing the country. Qin Xi’s words were passed to the court. , With the current strength of Qin Hui's party, I am afraid that another storm will be set off.
After all, Wang Anshi’s new law is most criticized for changing the old traditions of Confucian scholars who used to be less profitable or even ashamed of profit, but intended to operate the entire Song Dynasty in a model that imitated commercial operations. In the empire, Wang Anshi’s own ethics are naturally close to sages. Even his political enemies are recognized in his heart. The original intention of Wang Anshi’s reform was also out of good intentions. He was from the Song Dynasty for decades. In the prosperous business, we have seen the value contained in the huge power of business operations, which is not part of the tradition, so we hope that we can find a way to prosper the country and strengthen the army. It is a pity to establish a relatively complete management model. At least there is a gap of hundreds or even thousands of years of theoretical accumulation and basic preparation, coupled with Wang Anshi and Wang Jing’s well-known temperament, finally made this No matter whether it was between the government and the opposition, the reform failed to achieve the expected results. On the contrary, it accelerated the division of the Song Dynasty, which caused the Song Dynasty to fall into fierce party battles since then.
The early controversy between the old and the new was simply because the ministers of the Song Dynasty who each adhered to different ideas were responsible for the long-term stability of the Song Dynasty. The disputes of the court, whether it was Wang Anshi of the new party or Sima Guang, the leader of the old party, or biased towards the old. The party, but the Su Shi brothers, who tended to be more neutral in their stance, are all true gentlemen after all. No matter how unshakable they are in their ideological disputes in the court, they are all about the ideas and behaviors of their opponents. There is still a kind of own judgment, and it can be said that it is also a gentleman. After the Shenzong dynasty, with the passing of that generation of patriarchs, the dispute between the new party and the old party was gradually used with ulterior motives, and gradually became a purely intriguing strategy, and the Song Dynasty was dragged into it again and again. In a time of internal friction.
Therefore, listening to Qin Xi's words like this, Gou Long Ruyuan felt a little worried in his heart.
He naturally knows that with his current status, it is impossible to compete with the Qin Hui party that has been operating in the court for a long time. If it is placed a few months ago, he would like to give him the power of Qin Hui in the Song Dynasty. Putting on this hat and expelling Yushi Zhongcheng with a big name, I am afraid that it is not a big storm, let alone the party disputes caused by it. After all, although Yushi Zhongcheng is a pure and noble official, it is also a position that offends people. It’s not like Wan Chengmao was completely reduced to the minion of the current authority. I’m afraid that there are no old allies in the court, especially if he has just entered the court, he has no roots and no roots. The bottom newcomer.
However, the situation now is very different. Since the emperor official rescued Yue Fei a few months ago, expelled the golden ambassador, and even more outrageously decided to impose an imperial conquest to personally respond to the provocation from the Jurchen golden man, he had already declared the emperor. The officials decided to change the previous situation where Da Song Guobing was dominated by Qin Hui, and took a completely different path. Especially now that the emperor's official family is taking advantage of this great victory to return to the court, even those ordinary officials above the court, now they have long known that the Song court will inevitably encounter a big storm.
It’s just that the world has always been won with bow and horse, but it is necessary to rule the world with culture. Even if the emperor's official family is already intending to remove this Qin Hui and Qin Xianggong, in the future, he still needs to rely on the sub-group of literati. It is just that Qin Hui has not only upheld state politics in the past few years. , And even by various means, among the Confucian scholars and scholars in the world, it can be regarded as enjoying a huge reputation. This time Qin Hui is at the time of the enemy, and when the court should be tolerated as a country, from From the beginning, he deliberately provoked the civil and military controversy above the court, and he did not ask for it. If he can successfully mold himself into himself, it is because in the civil and military controversy, because the emperor officials are inclined to the group of military generals. However, he insisted on the ancestral system of literati that has become the consensus of scholars, and thus the image of having no choice but to resign, and he has been buried in the hard work of the philosophers over the years. I am afraid that most of the people in the world will support the support of the people’s network resources. Even the emperor officials may not dare to suppress it by force.
It’s just that although the original opinion among the literati about the current Ziguan family is really not very good, but these days, even if Goulong Ruyuan just entered the court, you can see this emperor official family. Regardless of what it used to be, the mind-bearing methods shown today can definitely be called a generation of heroes. Therefore, I am afraid that Qin Hui’s various methods will not be completely without any means, and the most convenient means is no more than supporting one another. The literati also enjoyed high prestige, but there were not many foundations in the court, and the officials who were easy to manipulate came out to fight with Qin Hui, so that most of the literati could be resolved invisibly. The grievances led this dispute from civil and military battles back to imperial power and relative power, and even the disputes between different representative factions in the literati subgroups of the old and new party battles in the past.
Goulong Ruyuan has long felt a little strange. Although he has always regarded himself as high, he always understands that he is still young after all. Most of the reputation he enjoys among literati comes from For his prestige, he was hailed as the teacher of the Luoxue school of the Kainandu generation. This Yushi Zhongcheng was the important minister of the country. With his reputation and qualifications, he sat in such a position in vain. It is really quite a bit. Unreasonable place.
At that time, he also thought that this was probably the meaning of the Qin Hui Qin Xianggong in front of him. After all, the Great Song Dynasty had long believed that this Qin Hui and Qin Xianggong had been holding the Song Dynasty government for more than ten years, and the emperor. Officials mostly just sit back and enjoy their achievements, but after they have actually taken office, after seeing the surging situation above the court during this time, Gou Long Ruyuan always feels that there must be something wrong with it. After all, the emperor is present. The domineering and methods of the official family, if he strongly opposed it, even if Qin Hui's power over the court was deeply rooted, it would be impossible to push himself to the position of Yushi Zhongcheng within such a long time.
At this point, Gou Long Ruyuan couldn't help but smile a little self-defeatingly. Perhaps, in the eyes of the emperor official and Qin Xiang at the time, he was nothing more than a useful pawn.
It’s just that Goulong Ruyuan really doesn’t want to be such a character himself, although if he really is the dark move buried by the emperor’s official family, then the emperor’s official family intends to support him against Qin Hui, then he It’s not impossible to fear that the status will rise immediately, and even when you are in position, it is not impossible to have power for a while. It is just that Goulong Ruyuan has been known as a child prodigy since he was a child. In addition, since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, he has borrowed The power of a literati to govern the country is that he can even be considered ambitious since he was a child. He prides himself on being a national scholar. He yearns to use his own strength to achieve the cause of ruling the country and the world, and is by no means a momentary power and glory. What's more, Goulong Ruyuan is familiar with the history of the scriptures and knows that under these circumstances, if he really goes to be such an early bird, then I am afraid that Kanglong will regret it, and the chance of turning back when he is strong will not be far away. .
"Master Qin's remarks are really called Ruyuan dare not bear it. Ruyuan is not a talent, and he dare not arrogantly compare himself to the sages of Mei Jing." After thinking about it, he knows that his remarks may not necessarily be there. What's the use, but Gou Long Ruyuan still opened his mouth to explain: "Bao Daren's proposal to raise these two donations this time is still unavoidable, but it is completely different from the Jinggong New Deal that day. There are some details that Master Qin is puzzled, so let's wait for Ruyuan and Master Qin to talk about it separately."
"Xi'er," Qin Xi still wanted to speak, but Qin Hui spoke first and blocked Qin Xi. He turned his head, looked at Qin Xi, and said calmly, "If the old man remembered correctly, today Ruyuan is at the invitation of the old man. I'm a guest, how come you have more questions than the old man?"
"Yes!" Although Qin Hui's words were half ridiculous, and Qin Xi's trouble today was what was originally expected, but Qin Xi was scared into a cold sweat by Qin Hui's question and stood hurriedly. He got up and bowed and said, "The child is so noisy."
"The great school of Ruyuan generation can learn a lot from Ruyuan, and even the old man feels that he has benefited a lot." Qin Hui smiled slightly, waved to Qin Xi, motioned him to sit down, and turned his head to face the hook. Long Ruyuan said: "Xie'er is just a momentary pleasure in seeing Hunter's heart. Ruyuan is not going to see a stranger."
"Qin Xianggong is polite", Gou Long Ruyuan was suffocated, but he had no choice but to bow slightly in his chair: "After discussing with Master Qin, Ruyuan also opened his eyes."
"The old man is now waiting for sin. These days, he has been behind closed doors to thank guests, and he has long been negligent about the affairs of the government." Qin Hui shook his head, looked at Goulong Ruyuan and Qin Xi, and said with a smile: "You have to discuss this. Regarding major affairs of the court, we should go to the court to argue. The emperor’s official sage, and the colleagues of the hundreds of bureaucrats, are naturally not difficult to judge right and wrong, but these ups and downs, the old man really listens too much, and is too tired of listening. ."
"This time I invite Ruyuan to come here. It's just that the old lady has read several articles about Ruyuan in the past in recent years, but there is something inexplicable." Qin Hui frowned and said to Goulong Ruyuan, "Originally. The old man should go there in person to ask for benefits. It’s just that the old problems on the old man’s legs and feet have been released these days, so I have to take care of it once. Please Ruyuan for advice!"
"Qin Xianggong has broken his evil spirits like an abyss", Goulong Ruyuan had already guessed something in his heart, but he still did not dare to lack a slight lack of etiquette, and said: "That is just some of the graffiti works of Ruyuan when he was young and frivolous. , To be able to enter the eyes of Qin Xianggong's law, Ruyuan is already invincible, so how dare to talk about the two words!
"Ruyuan does not have to be modest. What the old man finds difficult to understand is Ruyuan's discussion of the'virtual emperor's reality'", Qin Hui said, gradually putting away the smile on his face, looking at Ruyuan, slowly He said: "I don't know if Ruyuan can tell the truth about this for the old man face to face."
"Sure enough!" Gou Long Ruyuan sighed secretly in his heart. Just now when Qin Hui mentioned his desire to ask questions, he had already faintly guessed this possibility, but he still didn't dare to confirm that Qin Hui really had this idea, but he didn't. Thinking that Qin Hui would come out face to face now, he didn't even have the slightest intention of avoiding it.
Since he took office as Yushi Zhongcheng in the imperial court, Qin Hui's party has already had many people signaled to him privately. The reason why he was able to achieve this high position suddenly depends on the power of Qin Hui and Qin Xianggong, and the reason why Qin Hui could The place that values him is an article he wrote a few years ago about advocating the rule of the virtual king and the real state.
Back then, he was also reading the Scriptures and discussing ancient and modern times with a group of mentors. He had a whimsical idea, and this article was then spread among the people in the world. He became famous for a while, even he felt it at the time. It was a bit surprising, but now it seems that this is also indispensable to the driving force behind the Qin Xianggong's party.
At that time, Gou Long Ruyuan was only sent with emotion, but he did not intend to please Qin Hui with this article. Now he has experienced the courts over the past few months, but he understands the various twists and turns. Nao, now that Qin Hui asked this topic face to face, it was tantamount to forcing him to clearly state his position.
After all, with the performance of the emperor's official family these days, I am afraid that everyone in the world will know that this will never be a figure who is willing to be a "virtual emperor", and now Qin Hui is using this to inquire face to face, then It shows that Qin Hui will never give up the great power he holds in the hands of the independent minister of the court. This battle between imperial power and relative power is inevitable.
"Some botched words are nothing more than Ruyuan's youthful and crazy talk," Gou Long Ruyuan also shook his head and replied, "Qin Xiang really doesn't have to take it seriously."
"Young and crazy, nonsense?" Qin Hui said with a calm expression on his face, "It seems that Ruyuan has grown a lot in Lin'an over the past few months!"
"That old man wants to hear it." Qin Hui looked at Goulong Ruyuan and smiled with a deep meaning: "Now that Ruyuan, who is no longer young and frivolous, has given birth to some new ideas."
Goulong Ruyuan sighed slightly, and responded faintly: "The reality of the virtual monarch may not be a way to govern the country that can be discussed and tried. It is just that in Ruyuan's view, no matter how good the system is, it still has to be judged. It varies from time to place, from person to person!"
"In Ruyuan's view, we must first talk about the reality of the virtual emperor, and I am afraid that we also need to see the emperor in the reign, whether it is a faint emperor or a wise emperor, and when Zaifu is a virtuous minister," said Goulong Ruyuan After a slight pause, he raised his head, looked at Qin Hui, and slowly said, "Or is it a powerful person who takes power and respect!"
There was a moment of silence in the study, even Qin Xi, who was a little absent-minded, opened his eyes and stared at Gou Long Ruyuan, shocked by what he said.
Qin Hui was in power for more than ten years, and even Qin Xi couldn't remember how many years he had been. No one dared to say such words in front of Qin Hui.
"The old man understands", but Qin Hui still has that calm appearance. He turned his head faintly, waved and said, "I'm tired, Xi'er, send me Lord Goulong!"
"Don't dare to have Master Qin." Goulong Ruyuan naturally heard the change of address in Qin Hui's dialect. He stood up with a wry smile and bowed to Qin Hui: "Farewell to Ruyuan!"
