Xinshun 1730

Chapter 165
"Master Bai, you are not a rat spirit, why are you greedy for that sip of sesame oil? To put it bluntly, this is an opportunity. If you can grasp it, Lord Bai may be able to rise to the top."

"In the previous dynasties, such as Xie Sheng, Shang Zhouzuo, etc., were all promoted to ministers and even entered the cabinet from magistrates and prefectures. Who said that ministers must be top three?"

"I might as well give Mr. Bai a real story."

Blinking at Bai Yunhang, he said in a low voice, "If you tell me why you gave this opportunity to Lord Bai, don't believe me when I tell you. I want to promote practical learning, but nowadays practical learning is mostly tied to foreign religions. Yes That’s why there is a saying that ‘it is better for China to have no good calendar than to have Westerners in the court’.”

"Practical learning cannot prosper if foreign teaching is not banned. Only when foreign teaching is banned can practical learning and Christian teaching be separated. Christian teaching is Christian teaching, and practical learning is practical learning. How can we talk about it together?"

"Master Bai worked on the teaching plan in Fujian, and he did a good job. The imperial court has the heart to ban religion. Only when foreign religions are banned can the practical learning flourish. Otherwise, there will always be people in the court who tie the practical learning and Christian teaching together to confuse the public."

"I want to promote practical learning, so I really want to thank Mr. Bai for making teaching plans in Fujian."

This reason...

It's taller than what I've heard before.

However, Bai Yunhang still only half-believed in his heart. After thinking about it for a long time, it seemed that there was some truth to it.

Of course he understood the difference between practical learning and Christianity in his heart. After all, he had worked as a county magistrate in Fujian for several years and had seen the ingenuity of Westerners' practical learning, and he understood one thing better than many people in the court: the Dutch, the British , although it is also a Christianity, it is a heresy of the Catholic Church in North Korea, and it did not say that they cannot practice practical learning.

If it were someone else, Bai Yunhang might not even believe half of it in his heart.

However, Liu Yu is in front of him. Thinking about Liu Yu's actions in the rumors, it seems that this person is really a loyal minister, the kind who is dedicated to the king?

And it seems quite indifferent to fame and fortune?

Such a character design, coupled with this sentence, finally has half a point of credibility.

It's like the four words "loyalty to serve the country", if Yue Wumu said it, he would definitely believe it; if Han Shizhong said it, he might be [-]% to [-]% credible; but if Qin Hui said it, he would definitely not be credible.

Could it be that the person in front of me is really a lover?

Liu Yu saw that Bai Yunhang did not speak, and said again: "Master Bai is not because I am worried about disasters, is it? To put it bluntly, if you have too many debts, you will not worry, if you have too many lice, you will not itch. Master Bai has never heard that I am in the capital." , was beaten up by the Imperial College student as a 'national thief'?"

Bai Yunhang had heard about this, he laughed, but he didn't want Liu Yu to say again: "It's just that you don't know that when the Raksha Mission left, His Majesty sent people to Raksha to celebrate the Raksha Tsar's enthronement ceremony. I wrote a couplet for those who went to Rakshasa."

It is beyond its kind, out of its essence, and cannot be tolerated in the age of Yao and Shun.

If you can't handle people, how can you handle ghosts, why go to your parents' country.

"It is said that there are people who cut their fingers, claiming that 'someone who is ashamed to go to Rakshasa is a fellow countryman, and cut his finger oath'. I have the reputation of 'national thief', 'Qin Hui', and 'traitor'. Master Bai will not feel that , Qin Hui is afraid that he will be charged again with Wang Jinggong?"

Bai Yunhang hurriedly said: "Lord Liu is just joking, Mr. Wang Jing was a little closer to Qin Hui before this dynasty, but now he is far away from Qin Hui."

According to Dashun's political correctness, he rectified Wang Anshi's name, and he believed Liu Yu's words more in his heart.

It's not because of the helplessness and bitterness expressed in these words.

It's because Bai Yunhang knew Liu Yu's level of education, and if he had made up nonsense, he wouldn't have said that pair.

However, he did not know that this pair was still plagiarized by Liu Yu. It was written by Wang Kaiyun, the mentor of Yang Du, Qi Baishi and others, to the first Manchu Qing ambassador to Britain.

But on Dashun's side, it doesn't seem to violate peace at all. If a nation's profound culture does not even have pride and conceit, it must be a failure.The French also always think that the center of the world map is Paris, which is very normal.

After more than a thousand years of being the kingdom of the Celestial Dynasty, there are many people who dare not believe, do not want to believe, and do not want to believe that the Celestial Dynasty has been reduced to a prince.

Normally, only when you are driven to a desperate situation will you think about whether you have sunk.In order for Dashun to properly integrate into the Westphalian system, and to get acquainted with the feeling of forgetting 2000 years of being a prince instead of an emperor, Liu Yu has more than one scapegoat.

This point, Bai Yunhang really believed.

During the silence, Bai Yunhang thought quickly.

First of all, Liu Yu is a son of an honorable man, and he can't urinate in the same pot as a gentry.

Secondly, Liu Yu was born in the Wude Palace, and he can't urinate in the same pot as someone who relied on the imperial examination.

Again, Liu Yu does not rely on land to do business, and those who rely on land rent cannot pee in the same pot.

In the end, Liu Yu was trusted by the emperor at a young age. He trained [-] soldiers and didn't care about the money. Is this kind of person afraid of impeachment?

So, all these things, is it really because Liu Yu is a temperamental person, and feels that if he wants to promote practical learning, he must first ban religion and separate Christian teaching and practical learning, so he is very grateful to himself, and then acts of temperament?

But this favor, or gift, is too great, right?
After thinking for a long time, Bai Yunhang still couldn't believe that there is such a good person in the world?

Of course, this kind of thing has risks, but it also has opportunities.Just like when he was working on teaching plans in Fujian, of course there were risks, but there were also opportunities.

The problem is that an opportunity like a teaching plan is not the same as this opportunity.

In the end, Bai Yunhang still asked the most core question.

"Lord Liu, why don't you just tell your majesty about such an idea and such an opportunity? His majesty will definitely appreciate it."

Liu Yu made a distressed expression, smiled wryly and said: "The official hat is too big, and it hurts my head. With someone's ability, Junggar has not been settled, and the Southwest has not been settled, so it is not difficult to be a Marquis, right? Master Bai has heard of this story? Pick up The dung farmer speculated about life in the Forbidden Palace, thinking that the emperor must be carrying a golden pole, and the empress of the Eastern Palace would bake a pancake with sesame oil? Master Bai thinks that such an opportunity is rare, but in my eyes, it is...the four How do you say it? It’s easy to get. When I was a child, I hated the heavy golden locks hanging around my neck, and I also hated the trouble of going to the princes of various countries to pay New Year’s greetings..."

"Uh..." Bai Yunhang was really speechless, thinking that he had gambled everything in order to climb up to get a fifth grade, and after a while he smiled wryly: "Yes, yes."

"One more thing, Mr. Bai is a banner for the banning of religion. When the banner of Mr. Bai is erected, the banning of religion can be done faster, and the more discussions will be generated. Some things, the more debates become clearer. Is practical learning the same as Western learning? Is practical learning the same as Jesus? Teaching binding? These things, I want to quickly spark heated discussions, and then make people understand."

Liu Yu thought, most of what I said is true.

But in fact, the most important thing is... If I say this, the emperor must be afraid of accidents, and hide it and say it is his own idea. In the end, I will get a "great talent". The problem is I don't need this thing anymore.A few years later, the calmness of the fight against Junggar is like stepping on ants, which is better than anything else.

There is no need to elaborate on this matter, and there is no way to elaborate on it. This is in line with the contents of the letter of advice he wrote when he cheated on Chen Zhen.

Instead of this, it's better to be an adult and give someone a favor.

Who knows if it will be used or not in the future?

One more friend is not many, and one enemy is not much less, it may be an ungrateful person, but if one is afraid of encountering an ungrateful person and dare not make friends, then it is purely because of choking.

Seeing that Bai Yunhang was already a little loose, Liu Yu hit the iron while it was hot: "But this is just an idea, how to do it specifically depends on Lord Bai to complete it."

Bai Yunhang's train of thought was pulled by Liu Yu, his brain turned quickly, and he quickly said: "Yes. There are good lands and bad lands, good fields, dry fields, irrigated fields, how much Dingyin should each share? Dingyin is divided into acres , What kind of family is it good? What kind of family is it bad? What kind of family is it good or bad? This needs to be carefully considered, not just an idea."

"For example, a family with five people and [-] mu of land; and a family of ten people with [-] mu of land, this must be different. Perhaps eight people and [-] mu of land, it means that the tax and the shared tax are included in the mu tax. Whether it remains the same before or after; or other things. This needs to be carefully considered.”

Shaking his head and thinking of the key point, Bai Yunhang also showed a thoughtful look on his face, as if he forgot that Liu Yu was sitting beside him.

Bai Yunhang thought to himself, this matter cannot be bypassed by the Jiedu envoy of Jiaoliao, no matter what, this is also his boss, if he does something to bypass his boss, it is really a taboo in the officialdom.

But this matter is afraid that the boss will divide the work. Although such a good opportunity is risky, in fact, as long as the emperor favors him, the risk will be much smaller.

So the best opportunity is precisely this year or next year.

If my side is doing a good job in disaster relief and famine preparation, the emperor will definitely encourage him personally, and he may allow himself, the state shepherd, to share his experience in fighting disasters directly.

When the time comes, I will take advantage of this opportunity to play. On the one hand, I want to praise Jiedu so that the adults can control and command well; I dare not hide and tamper with it.

Thinking about it again, I am a big banner for banning religion.If this big banner is pulled up, there will be a lot of work to do: whoever opposes and slanders, then whoever is likely to be thinking about Christianity, is worried about his own teaching case in Fujian that led to the ban on religion by the court, and takes the opportunity to slander ... Punishment, it is extremely effective.

The more I think about it, the more I feel that this matter is very promising. If I do well, maybe it is true as Liu Yu said, like Shang Zhou Zuo and others in the previous dynasty, all the way from county magistrate to minister.Given the precedent, it might not be impossible. This was something I didn't even dare to think about when I was the county magistrate.

After being dazed for a long time, he cupped his hands and apologized, "Hai Han, Mr. Liu, forgot everything around him for a while."

Liu Yu smiled indifferently, and then said: "Master Bai will go back and think about this matter carefully. If you want to do it, you will take advantage of the opportunity to promote sweet potatoes. If you don't want to do it, then don't do it. This is today Today's small matter is that the purchased sweet potatoes, mung beans, carrot seeds, etc. have arrived. Kill three birds with one stone, kill two birds with one stone."

Bai Yunhang had already been disturbed by the previous events, but when he heard about sweet potatoes and mung beans, he remembered the most relevant things before he came today.

I also understand that this is the last step in famine relief. If it is done well, there will be various opportunities and possibilities in the future.

He stood up and bowed to Liu Yu, saying: "Thank you for your kindness. If that's the case, let's do this first."
