Chapter 1,383 Dialogue between monarch and ministers

Ding Weishuo, Su You's memorial was delivered, and at the same time it was included in "Wuliang Literature Collection" and "Hexi Confucian Essays". He asked Ouyang Fa to edit "History of Wuliang", Li Ji, Chaogu, and Li Wenzhao to edit "Xixia"

"Zhi", Dao Chong revised "Dunhuang Baoji", Zhang Zhangxiang revised "Dunhuang Dao Zang", Liu Fengshi revised "Shuoyuan Complete Cong", "Thirteen Classics".

Invite Ningxia's three roads and twenty-six prefectures to build primary schools, study palaces, Confucian temples, set up a forest of Thirteen Sutra steles, and set up bookstores.

At the same time, he presented fifty sets of rubber molds of the "Thirteen Classics of Sichuan" and asked Zhao Xu to issue them to all the roads in the world.

Su You was full of military honors last year, so he moved his political achievements to this year. As soon as the first article was unveiled, it blinded the eyes of the court officials.

When Su You was impeached and forced to debate in court, one of his articles was aimed at science and engineering. Even now, there are still stubborn Mr. Dong Heng who think it is a strange skill.

Now Su You used this method to give these people the loudest slap in the face.

The science of science and engineering can allow the academic palaces and Confucian temples of the three hundred military states in the world to erect thousands of sutra tablets overnight in a very easy way!

The printing of books does not reveal the mountains and rivers, but the establishment of scriptures in the Confucian Temple is different. This is a major cultural event.

To do this, the science and engineering team must be involved. Even if those old Dong Heng couldn't understand the style of science and engineering, they could only admit this with pinched noses.

Because they can’t play with rubber on reinforced concrete floors!

Liangzhe Road, Shuzhong, Kaifeng Prefecture, Xijing, Daming Prefecture, Fujian Road, and Nanhai Road were the first to respond and wrote letters requesting Zhao Xu to issue stele models.

These places are not short of money or cement, but they are short of creativity.

The local gentry is very happy to think about it. As long as they donate a little money, the family will be a highlight in the local history.

Under this first article, Su You's second memorandum requested the establishment of a money supervisor, using gold and silver precious metals instead of last year's green salt as banknotes, and issuing gold, silver, and copper coins at the same time to attract merchants from the Western Regions. Instead, his suggestion was ignored.

.

Minting is now a big money-making business. The efficiency of stamping technology is much cheaper than the previous lost-wax casting method.

Moreover, Hu merchants in the Western Regions did not recognize treasure banknotes, so the influence of treasure banknotes could not reach outside Shazhou, but exquisite metal coins were still popular even thousands of miles away.

The third thing is to build roads, all three roads.

The first one, Henan Road, Wuyuan, Jiuyuan, Yinzhou, Suide, Yan'an.

No. 2, Ningxia Road, Xingzhou, Jingzhou, Lingzhou, Mingsha, Weizhou, Xiaoguan.

No. 3, Hexi Road, Shazhou, Guazhou, Suzhou, Ganzhou, Liangzhou, Lanzhou, Gongzhou, Qinzhou.

The three roads, within the territory of the three roads, add up to a total of 5,800 miles, with an overall construction cost of 2.9 million yuan.

The fourth thing is to repair many water conservancy projects since the Han Dynasty, including nine major canals such as Tanglai in Xingzhou Plain, Wuwei Old Canal in Liangzhou, Zhangye Old Canal in Ganzhou, and Changle Guazhou Water Conservancy Project in Shazhou.

The fifth thing is to move the Xiangjun on the Southwest Jing Road, Northwest Jing Road, Huainan East Road, Huainan West Road, and the Fourth Route Xiang Army to unite and eat in Ningxia to enrich the Three Routes.

The sixth thing is to ask the three groups to establish household registration and land registers, settle immigrants, enrich households, and measure and allocate acres.

The seventh thing is to appoint officials, from the capital transfer department to the three prefectures, counties, and military villages. Now there is a serious shortage of personnel. Please ask the Ministry of Personnel to send all the officials to be elected, under the age of forty-five, and in the prime of life.

They monitor the state affairs and then send them to various places to serve.

Three routes, twenty-six counties, seventy-four counties, seventeen military camps, a total of more than 300 personnel are missing. Isn't the imperial court always troubled by redundant officials? Send me all those below fifth rank who can come!

The eighth thing is that there are six horse farms in Shandan, Zhangye, Wuwei, Dachenggu, Wuyuan, and Jiuyuan. The court needs to be prepared. If you have other horses, it would be a shame if you don't have money to buy them and can't ride them!

The ninth thing is to establish Daqie in Lanzhou, Shazhou, Zhangye, and Wuyuan to promote trade.

The tenth thing, the third route is the place of the fourth battle. Please select 10,000 elites from each of the eight surnames of the original Xixia to build eight armies. The Western Army will be the general general, and the eight clan chiefs will be the deputy. They will be awarded gold belts and seals.

Jinyi serves as a three-way battle force guarantee.

After the restructuring of Yuanfeng, Zhao Xu's office hours also increased a lot, and the three provinces reported affairs to Zhao Xu separately on a daily basis.

Cai Que was originally the second prime minister and Su Song was in charge of government affairs. However, due to the negotiations between Song and Liao, the pressure from public opinion was too great. Su Song went to the Ministry of Industry, and Cai Que almost became the independent prime minister.

As for Wang Gui, he became the prime minister in charge of cultural work. He would check the messages sent by Zhongshu every day to see if the text was fluent.

Zhang Dun, his subordinate, did this easily.

Zhang Dun had a tight grasp on the work of supervising the execution of government affairs. He did not mind that there was too much work, and he did not take Wang Gui seriously at all.

Zhao Xu also had to read newspapers and listen to lectures in the morning. Usually at this time, the first person to come in and report was the Imperial City Division, and then they would officially go to work.

Seeing Cai Que coming in, Zhao Xu shook the newspaper in his hand: "Two Jiangnan roads and two Zhejiang roads are really rich. After the initiative of Anshi Xianggong, the local gentry donated money enthusiastically. In just one month, thirty states have already

After collecting enough money to erect the monument, the transportation department asked me to give them five sets of rubber molds. If I give them so much, what should I do with the other roads?"

Cai Que cupped his hands and said: "This rubber mold is just turned out from the Chengdu Academy. Isn't it just a matter of turning it over a few times?"

Zhao Xu shook his head: "Su Mingrun reported that sulfur was used when making the film, and the Sichuan stone tablet has been rubbed for a long time, so it has already been worn."

"This is a precious cultural relic that needs to be properly protected and will not be opened again in the future."

Cai Que said: "That's not difficult. I remember that there were two sets of plaster casts before, one in Xijing and one in Bianjing. The plaster molds were refined at that time, and the characters poured out were as beautiful as the original ones.

"

"If your Majesty wishes, I can send craftsmen from Shu to come to Beijing and translate it using the same method as in the Confucian Temple."

Zhao Xu said happily: "This is a good idea... By the way, Jin Shang, the envoy of Goryeo, also asked for a set, as well as Japan and Ryukyu. How to deal with this matter?"

Cai Que said: "Goryeo and Japan need to work hard to win over each other. This is fine."

"However, the new tribute from Ryukyu has never been meritorious. To give such a heavy reward all at once seems to be too easy for the Tibetan country of the Song Dynasty."

"Why don't we just follow the encouragement given by Korea and Japan ten years ago and reward the Nine Classics books."

"Speaking of this, there is also Dali. Gao Shengtai, son of Shanchanhou Gao Zhisheng, a Qingping official, led Dongfang Cuanbo soldiers to fight against the rebellion and killed Yang Yizhen. Duan Shouhui granted Gao Zhisheng the title of Buxie and Gao Shengtai the title of Shanchanhou."

"Only four months later, Gao Zhisheng again reported that Duan Shouhui was in a trance, and because 'the sun and the moon were dim and the stars were visible during the day', he gave the Zen position to his cousin, Duan Zhengming, the grandson of Duan Silian, and he became a monk himself."

"I think this matter is most likely the result of Gao Zhisheng and his son's power being transferred to the Dali government and the opposition to force the Lord. However, according to the agreement between the two countries, our Song Dynasty has obtained Jianchang and southern Yunnan, and its forces have withdrawn from Longdong. The specific situation is

We don’t know. Whether or not to give them the rubber molds of the Thirteen Sutras depends on His Majesty’s will.”

Zhao Xu said: "In the end, raising troops to serve the king can be regarded as suppressing the rebellion; establishing a new king can be regarded as loyalty in the end. Since there is no evidence, the Gao family has always worshiped me in the Song Dynasty, so they exchanged territories. I need to be comforted.

Let’s follow the same example as Korea and Japan.”

Cai Que cupped his hands and said, "I obey your order."

Zhao Xu said: "By the way, Zeng Gong said that he is getting old and hopes to choose another capable person. Please give Liu Xun, the scholar in Zhongshushe, to take his place."

"Zeng Gong was unable to compile and edit the Guanshi Museum. The text of "Taizu Biography" is somewhat unsatisfactory. I wonder if I should change it to another Zhishi Guan?"

Cai Que asked: "Who does Your Majesty prefer in this position?"

Zhao Xu thought for a while: "How about Su Shi?"

Cai Que's heart skipped a beat, but there was no movement on the surface: "Zeng Gong did nothing wrong. If you ask for help once, it may not mean you are resigning humbly."

"In those days, Zeng Gong was the editor of the pavilions and collated the works of Jixian. He once compiled the Warring States Policy, Shuo Yuan, Liang Shu, and Chen Shu. It is a great contribution to the literature and history."

"However, there were only five volumes of "Shuo Yuan" in the Secret Pavilion at that time, and they were still incomplete. This time, the Dunhuang stone chamber's posthumous notes were revealed, and all twenty volumes of "Shuo Yuan" were included. Ouyang Fa had already begun to sort them out and sent them to

When I came to Bianjing, I felt that the collation work would be difficult for anyone but Zeng Gong."

"Back then, Xianggong Wang once said that Su Shi had great talent, just like a horse; but he seemed magnanimous on the outside, but stubborn in his heart. He was also like a horse, although it traveled thousands of miles a day, it was difficult to tame."

"Therefore, it needs to be trained well, whipped and whipped to tame it, and then it can be controlled."

"I heard that he always compared himself to Lotte, and there was a poem in Huangzhou that said: 'He who has learned from foreign schools does not want to find a career, but he wants to read the gentry at the right time. Although there are many people in the fire, there is no one who retreats bravely from the rapids. I am looking for Yuan Fei in the book.

Jue, whispered in drunkenness but close to the truth. I remember it like Lord Lotte, enjoying the spring of Luoyang all over the sky.'"

"Your Majesty, do you think he is tamed?"

"There is also Su Song who retired as a minister and immediately succeeded Su Shi. Those who know your majesty well will think that your majesty cherishes his talents. However, I am afraid that those who do not know your majesty may think that your majesty is intimidated."

This was an extremely heart-wrenching statement. Cai Que's implication was that Zhao Xu's move would make everyone think that Zhao Xu was afraid of the Su family. As soon as he demoted someone, he had to immediately promote someone to appease them.
