Tang Dynasty Mingyue Song Dynasty Pass

Chapter 221

Bianjing City, the Royal Study Room of the Imperial Palace.

Sitting on the carved dragon chair, Zhao Kuangyin flipped through the 'Su Yixuan's Anthology of Poems' and 'Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties' legendary novels on the table, showing a hint of astonishment.

In the past, he learned from Wu Desi's information that there was a young scholar who could write good words in Runzhou of Tang State. However, as the founding monarch who conquered the world on horseback, Zhao Kuangyin didn't pay much attention to it.

Because the flourishing age prospers culture, the troubled times prosper martial arts, and now in the troubled times after the change of the five dynasties at the end of Tang Dynasty, there are many small countries in the north and south, and the grassland Khitan and the Northwest Dangxiang are also staring at each other. Therefore, Zhao Kuangyin puts more energy on the goal of unifying the world In fact, he has no time to care about the talents of writing words. In his opinion, it is of no great use.

In the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, Li Bai wrote the best poems in the world, so what if he is known as a poet fairy?Has he made any contribution to the state affairs of the Tang Dynasty, can he save the declining trend of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, and can he stop the Anshi Rebellion?

What Zhao Kuangyin is thinking about now is how to subjugate small foreign countries and sweep the world, so that people everywhere can stabilize, live a life of food and clothing, and no longer be displaced and suffer from the wars of the Five Dynasties.

But today's prime minister, Zhao Pu, brought these two books into the palace, and also brought blue and white porcelain and soap, and reported to Zhao Kuangyin the recent changes in the Ci circle and business affairs in the Southern Tang Dynasty. The color of astonishment.

Zhao Kuangyin commented: "The words are good words, and the writing is good writing. This Su Chen and Su Yixuan is really a great talent, but after all, he is a weak scholar. It is useless in the declining Jiangnan area, right?"

Zhao Pu smiled slightly, and said: "Guys, this Su Chen and Su Yixuan are not only good at poetry, please look at these things!"

He introduced the blue and white porcelain and soap soap to Zhao Kuangyin, and explained the characteristics and functions of each, all of which were not found in the territory of the Song Dynasty.

After Zhao Kuangyin looked at it, he said: "Blue and white porcelain is more special and more appreciative than the celadon and white porcelain that were tributed by the Tang Dynasty in the south of the Yangtze River; and this soap can wash hands and bathe, and soap can wash clothes stains. , these are ultimately useless in state affairs, what do you want to tell me?"

Zhao Pu shook his head and said, "Officials, such a talented person can write poetry like no other in the world, and at the same time, he can make blue and white porcelain, soap and soap, which can help merchants earn a lot of money. Perhaps in the near future, the Tang Dynasty will be in contact with the vassal states because of these new products. Doing business and conducting business overseas, Tang's depleted treasury is likely to continue to recover and its national strength will increase, so we have to pay close attention to this matter!"

Zhao Kuangyin fell into deep thought when he heard the words. He only thought about poetry and luxury goods, which could not benefit the people or help him to calm down the world, so he didn't care about it, but he didn't consider that there was a business experience behind it.

His eyes became deep, and he was silent for a moment, and when he looked at Zhao Pu again, his expression was serious.

"Thanks to the prime minister for reminding me, this person should not be underestimated!" Zhao Kuangyin suddenly became interested in this Su Chen and Su Yixuan.

A scholar who can only write beautiful poems, he thinks it is dispensable, and he doesn't care when he is conquering the world.

But a scholar with such talent in poetry can make blue and white porcelain, soap and soap, and if he can make many new items that change the lives of the people one after another, then any imperial court needs such practical talents!

Prosperity of goods represents commerce and economy. Even if it is a luxury, it can harvest the money of the world's richest gentry and powerful princes, earn it back to the treasury, and use it for the court. This is a way to make money.

He didn't know that Su Yixuan had these abilities to detect things before, but now that he knew it, and with Zhao Pu's reminder, he naturally paid attention to it.

Zhao Pu smiled slightly. As long as his suggestion is reasonable, the official Zhao Kuangyin will generally accept it, because the friendship between the two is too deep.

The first time he and Zhao Kuangyin met was in Chuzhouhui. After they got acquainted, they became confidantes and their friendship was irreversible.Later, Zhao Kuangyin's brothers led the army abroad, and Zhao Pu was Zhao Kuangyin's bedridden father, serving decoctions for many months by the side of the bed, and fulfilled his filial piety for Zhao Kuangyin.

In the following seven plans, Chen Qiao was determined, Chen Qiao's mutiny was launched, and then the military power was released with a cup of wine. Zhao Kuangyin's many key events were all planned by Zhao Pu, and he was involved.

Just this year, after Zhao Kuangyin stabilized the situation in the Song Dynasty, he dismissed the three prime ministers Fan Zhi, Wang Pu, and Wei Renpu who continued to the Song Dynasty in the Later Zhou Dynasty. The ministers were controlled, Fan Zhi and others were in charge of peace, and the prime minister of the later Zhou Dynasty was threatened and had to be forced to support Zhao Kuangyin.

Now Zhao Kuangyin quelled some disturbances by the generals of the Later Zhou Dynasty, stabilized the domestic situation, and controlled the ministers of the DPRK and China. Only then did the three prime ministers of the DPRK and China be dismissed at one time, and Zhao Pu was appointed as the servant of the door, Pingzhangshi, and Jixiandian. Helped Zhao Pu to be the prime minister, and he was the only prime minister!

These years, after all, Zhao Kuangyin was born as a military general, and his temper is often irritable. Thanks to Zhao Pu's advice and advice, Zhao Kuangyin is able to handle things more and more maturely. His suggestions and opinions will be taken seriously.

Zhao Kuangyin pondered and said: "I will let Wu Desi's spy network in the south of the Yangtze River pay close attention to this person's movements and the changes in the Tang Dynasty!"

"Your Majesty is wise!" Zhao Pu encouraged with a smile. Although he often referred to officials as officials, sometimes it would be more solemn to address His Majesty.

Zhao Kuangyin put down the collection of poems and essays, looked at Zhao Pu, and asked, "This prime minister has been in office for a month, have you gotten used to it?"

Zhao Pu said politely, "I'm still getting used to the government. I'm in charge of the six ministries. It's a big deal. After all, I didn't have this experience before."

"Hahaha!" Zhao Kuangyin smiled brightly, and said, "Look at me, I have no experience of being an emperor before, so I can do it well, and I have to do better, comparable to those wise emperors in history!"

Zhao Pu laughed and said, "I'm just a mortal, how can I compare with the founder of the country, the Son of Heaven! I know that my wisdom and talents are limited, so I should try my best to make up for it with my acquired efforts, so that I can be a competent prime minister."

Invisibly, he paid another flattery. Even if Zhao Kuangyin is a wise and mighty monarch, no one would be too much praised, so he smiled quite reassuringly.

"The two assistants assigned to you, Lu Yuqing and Xue Juzheng, are they still competent?" Zhao Kuangyin asked again.

Zhao Pu replied: "It's not bad, ability and talent are not bad."

Zhao Kuangyin said: "I have summoned two people alone and mentioned to them that they are not allowed to be in charge of the Great Seal, they are not allowed to be the foreman of the courtiers, and they are not allowed to perform alone. They can only be your assistants. As for the matter, we, the monarch and his ministers, can decide; when the time comes, you write a memorial, and I will draw a circle for you to approve it, and it will be fine if you pass it."

Zhao Pu smiled wryly in his heart, this was too hasty, although he was grateful to Zhao Kuangyin for valuing him and trusting him, he did not dare to accept the order, and cupped his hands and said: "Officials, this is not appropriate, the emperor can't just draw a circle to approve the approval, all kinds of imperial edicts If there are rules, regulations and procedures, it is absolutely impossible for officials and ministers to decide the affairs of the world."

Seeing his righteous words, Zhao Kuangyin nodded slightly. It was only half a joke, expressing his trust in Zhao Pu. Since the other party knew the general situation, knew how to advance and retreat, and was neither arrogant nor impatient, he was quite satisfied.
