Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 1174 Li Wei
From the time when Shen Shixing's greeting card was sent to him, Gao Yushi, who led the Pan Sheng impeachment case, finally felt relieved.

Shen Shixing's dignified Chief Assistant, and at this moment, he should be busy with a lot of things. Of course, it's not because he is greedy for the scenery of Baiyulou, and he really wants to go to enjoy the flowers, the moon and the autumn fragrance with him.

The only possibility for Shishi Bank to ask for a visit is to negotiate peace, which can be confirmed with high pragmatism.

Although it is not clear what conditions Shen Yuanfu intends to exchange, one thing is clear: as long as he is in a hurry to talk, the initiative in this matter is considered to be in his own hands.

Of course, the negotiation is the negotiation. The other party is his "teacher" after all, and the superficial work that should be done must be done well, so Gao Wushi immediately sent someone back to inform Bai Yulou to make some preparations for hospitality, but there is no need to elaborate on these things .

Gao Wushi is in charge of the Beijing camp, but the Beijing camp includes not only the newly created imperial guards, but also the farmers and craftsmen mentioned earlier. Make good use of these people to create greater benefits.

Using the country's "army of economic system" to create income, this kind of thing is highly pragmatic not only dare to do it, but also dare to say it.He not only did it openly, but also said it openly - under the banner of "inheriting the legacy of Taizu".

What is Taizu's behest, actually using the army to make money?

It really does.

Taizu said that he raised millions of soldiers without spending 1.1 meters of millet on the people.In other words, Taizu's legacy was that the army should support itself.

Since you want to support yourself, making money is of course a legitimate act.There is no reason to say that they can do military settlements, but they can't do other things.

Therefore, now that the Beijing camp has begun to divide labor, and the Imperial Guards have undertaken almost all routine combat tasks (whether this task exists or not), then of course the remaining people should undertake the task of making money to support the army.

The truth is this, and Gao Wushi also arranged the plan in this way, but he only said to the court that Jingying would do his best to support himself, but he didn't say the specific standard, and he didn't say what to do if there is surplus after supporting himself. How to do.

In the imperial court, from the emperor to the officials, no one noticed the hole that Gao Wuji dug in these words.

But there is no need to elaborate on this beforehand, let's talk about Gao Yushi's meeting with Shishihang first.

Gao Pragmatically went straight back to Baiyulou after his assignment. Although Shen Shihang didn't say that he wanted to come to him for dinner, but considering that the city would be closed and curfew in the Ming Dynasty, he estimated that even if Shen Shihang had a special status, he might not stay for long. Outside the city, the chances of coming to dinner are very high, so I still go back and wait.

Not long after, a rider came to send a message, saying that Shen Yuanfu's chariot had left Deshengmen and was heading for Baiyulou.

Gao Wushi saw that there were [-] armed servants in Xinzhai, so of course he didn't have to worry about finding out about this situation. Therefore, as long as Shen Shihang left the city, it would be equivalent to being under Gao Wushi's surveillance. The news must be certain.

Gao Wushi immediately ordered to prepare a banquet, but considering that Shen Shixing probably didn't have the heart to eat and drink, the banquet was divided into two parts. He and Shen Shixing set up a small banquet separately, and set up a big table for the servants of Shen's mansion. For the banquet, the two seats are completely separated.

When Shen Shixing came, Gao Wushi had already opened the middle door and stood in front of the door to greet him in person. The attitude of "student" was extremely well done, which gave Shen Shixing's teacher enough face.

"Students have met their teachers."

As soon as Shen Shixing got off the sedan chair, Gao Wushi went up to meet him, bowed and said, "Master's presence really makes the humble house flourish."

"Please be polite." Shen Shixing's prime minister had a good manner, and even made a joke with a smile: "If your Baiyulou is still a 'humble house', I'm afraid the old man's house won't be able to live in it."

Gao Wushi smiled and said: "The teacher is criticizing the students. The students know they are wrong."

While walking, Shen Shixing shook his head and said, "I didn't criticize you. In terms of your wealth, you only have Jianxinzhai and Sanshen Garden, which are considered rare. Among relatives and relatives, I don’t know how many families have more than ten or even dozens of other businesses. I heard that Wei Guogong built another garden last time. It cost 10,000+ taels and it was only less than half completed... How much did you spend on this Baiyulou? Silver?"

Gao Wushi didn't shy away from it, and replied, "About two hundred thousand taels."

"Huh?" Shen Shixing looked around in surprise, especially at the tall main building complex, and said in disbelief, "This Baiyu Building only cost 20 taels? Be honest, don't deceive me that I don't know how to do it." .”

Gao Wushi had no choice but to explain to Shen Shixing the reason he had explained to Zhu Yijun last time, and then sighed: "Actually, students have always held to a point of view: To do things well, you need to spend less money."

"Yo, it's not easy." Shen Shixing said with a chuckle.

Gao Wushi led Shen Shixing into the small banquet hall, opened a chair for him personally, invited him to sit down, and replied with a smile: "Master, I don't know. These things seem difficult, but they are actually easy. Look at it from another angle, and you can’t fall into the shackles of previous experience.”

"Really?" Shen Shixing narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked with something in his words: "Since it is the experience of the ancestors, why has it become a shackle?"

Gao Wushi pretended not to understand what he meant, but replied: "The teacher asked this question, and the students do have some stupid opinions, so let's take this Baiyulou as an example."

Of course, this is not what Shen Shixing wanted to hear, but Gao Wushi said so, and he couldn't object, so he nodded slightly: "I would like to hear the high theory."

Gao Wushi said: "People in the world use precious wood as the ultimate material for building houses, but they don't know that although wood is good, it is hard to use for a hundred years after all. Students study Western history and culture and find that although Westerners are not as good as China in terms of Taoism, their In terms of architecture, ingenuity, etc., it is quite impressive.

For example, in this house, wood was mostly used in China in the past, but it was considered from the perspective of the intergrowth of the five elements and the harmony of yin and yang, while Westerners pursued eternity.As early as the Western Great Qin (Rome) period, the master architects of the country put forward the three principles of "sturdy, practical, and beautiful", so many ancient buildings of Westerners have been handed down to this day.But there is no such situation in China—the Abang Palace is famous all over the world, who can see it? "

Shen Shixing frowned slightly: "Seeking the truth, since you are the number one scholar in the six poems, you naturally know the principle of the mutual generation of the five elements and the harmony of yin and yang. Don't you...don't agree?"

This question is very interesting. The highly pragmatic Baiyulou is famous in Kyushu, but so far, few people have imitated such Western buildings as Baiyulou.Only in Annan, or Annan's Annan Guild Hall in the capital, there are some imitations.

In fact, the ancient Chinese architecture and the West are heavy on civil engineering and heavy on stone. This is not a big difference in architectural level, but a problem of cultural orientation.

Westerners have a special fondness for stones.In ancient Greek mythology, human beings who encountered a great flood were recreated from stones, which are the material that created human beings. Therefore, it is reasonable to use stones to build the most important buildings.

Apprentices in the Middle Ages were regarded as uncarved stones, and those who learned to be successful were regarded as pillars. Therefore, it can be inferred that stones are at a higher level in the cultural symbolic pedigree of Westerners. Layers, such as the altars in Western temples and churches, are carved in stone.

The situation in China is different. The ancient Chinese emphasized Yin-Yang and Five Elements.The five substances in the five elements, gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, correspond to the five directions (west, east, north, south, and middle).

Among them, soil represents the center, the earth that supports and nourishes all things.Therefore, Tude has a very high status. For example, the three main halls of the Forbidden City, which symbolized the "central" in the Ming Dynasty, were built on a triple white marble platform in the shape of "earth". soil" to symbolize.

Wood in the five elements represents spring, the east, and the power of life and growth.

In addition, gold in the five elements symbolizes the west, as well as force and punishment. Therefore, all buildings related to martial arts, such as the Hall of Martial Arts in the Forbidden City and the Xuanwu Gate in the inner city of the capital, are located on the west side of the central axis of the city or palace.

The water in the five elements symbolizes the north, and the Qin'an Hall at the north end of the central axis of the Forbidden City is dedicated to the water god Xuanwu the Great, and it also has a symbol of aversion to fire.In addition, the algae well decoration inside the building and the owl kiss decoration on the roof ridge of the building all have the fire-repelling symbolic function associated with water.

So obviously, among the five materials most respected by the Chinese represented by the five elements, only the remaining soil and wood are most suitable for building houses for "human beings". Therefore, the basic materials of ancient Chinese architecture are " civil engineering".People live in a space carried by "soil" (platform) and surrounded by wood (pillars, beams).

Faced with this question from Shen Shixing, Gao Wushi smiled and said calmly, "I wonder if the teacher knows the meaning of the students' names and characters?"

Shen Shixing's frown deepened.Of course he knew the meaning of being pragmatic and truth-seeking, but he didn't expect Gao Yushi to really take this very seriously.

He asked in a deep voice: "The five elements are born together, and Yin and Yang are in harmony. Isn't it unreal, untrue?"

Gao Wushi was not as serious as him, but said with a light smile, "Maybe it's true, maybe it's true, but the teacher may have misunderstood the meaning of the student."

"What do you mean?" Shen Shixing still looked very serious at this moment, perhaps in his heart at this moment, this conversation already had the meaning of maintaining morality.

But Gao Pragmatism said very simply: "The student's meaning is very simple: avoid waste."

Shen Shixing was taken aback: "Avoid waste?"

"Yes." Gao Wushi said: "Zhu Ziyan: a porridge and a meal, it is not easy to think about where it came from; half a thread, half a thread, the constant memory is difficult. It should be noted that wooden buildings are not easy to preserve. If they want to last for a long time, they have to be rebuilt from time to time. Not to mention other things, how many times have the three halls been renovated in the past 200 years, and how much money has been spent?
Although the students are rich, they dare not waste material resources.I am willing to set an example for the world regardless of the birth and restraint of the five elements, regardless of the regulation of yin and yang.Houses are good as long as they are economical and durable. If you have some spare money, you should consider the beauty; if you don’t have any spare money, it’s just a shelter, so why worry about it?This is pragmatism and truth-seeking. "

Now, Shen Shixing has nothing to say.As Gao Wushi said, he is rich enough, even if Jian Xinzhai is made of civil engineering, it is no big deal for him to renovate Jian Xinzhai once a year.Now he would rather live among "a pile of stones", but set himself as an example, calling on the people of the world to seek truth and be pragmatic. What is there to say?
According to what he said, it's not that he doesn't understand, he is saving material resources for the people of the world-this is simply what a saint does!

Shen Shixing was at a loss for words for a while, and finally felt that he should not waste his tongue on this matter, so he simply nodded his head as a tacit consent, and then brought the topic back to the matter he cared about, coughed dryly, and asked: "Recently, the DPRK and China Quite disturbing..."

Unexpectedly, Gao Wushi just started talking, then Gao Wushi took it, chuckled, and said, "I don't know if Master is talking about Mr. Pan Ge, or about Wei Butang?"

"Uh..." Shen Shixing hesitated for a moment, coughed in embarrassment, and said in a low voice, "This is all a bit disturbing."

Gao Wushi chuckled, and said, "The students have expressed their attitude towards these two matters just now."

Shen Shixing was startled when he heard the words, and asked in surprise, "When?"

Gao Wushi slightly raised his eyebrows: "It's the student's first and last name."

Shen Shixing was stunned and said, "What does your name have to do with these two things?"

Gao Wushi looked helpless, and said: "Master, although what the students just said is about architecture, it has already explained the students' attitude in dealing with things."

Seeing that he didn't seem to be joking, Shen Shixing couldn't help pondering. After a while, he frowned and said, "You naturally have 'ample money', so now you not only require 'economical and durable', but also 'beautiful'?"

It seems that Shen Shixing now understands the purpose of Gao Wushi's "gossip" about construction just now. In other words, Gao Wushi now not only wants face, but also face.

Based on Shen Shixing's understanding, Gao Wu's implication was that not only did he want Pan Sheng's position, but he also wanted to "win" in a legitimate way this time.

Shen Yuanfu looked at Gao Pragmatic who smiled and said nothing, and felt displeased for a while, but he didn't dare to show it at this time, he just asked in a deep voice: "We can talk about Pan Xinchang, Wei Jingyang (Wei Xue once worked for Jingyang, Shaanxi) People), the old man thought there was no need to talk about it.”

Hey, you, Shen Yuanfu, used to "extravagantly ask for a price and pay back the money on the spot"?

Gao Wushi smiled: "How about this, let's do it one by one... How does Master think Pan Xinchang should be discussed?"

Shen Shixing didn't dare to look at him, turned his eyes, sighed and said: "Gong Wenzheng's disciples, I'm afraid not everyone can accept it."

Gao Pragmatism understands that the bottom line of the Heart School is that Pan Sheng's position cannot be filled by a direct line official of the Real School.

He was not in a hurry, just smiled and asked, "Who does Yuan Fu think is suitable?"

Shen Shixing didn't talk nonsense this time, and said bluntly: "Wang Shanyin."

Gao Wushi said: "Just follow the teacher."

The "Shanyin" mentioned by Shen Shixing here is not the Shanyin of Shaoxing, Zhejiang, but the Shanyin of Shuozhou, Shanxi. Wang Shanyin is Wangjiaping.

However, Wang Jiaping has a very strong personality. Although he is from Shanxi, he is not a member of the Jin Party in the actual sense.

The reason why Gao Wushi agreed was because Wang Jiaping had a strong personality and was not a serious member of the Jin Party, but he was from Shanxi after all, and he didn't like the officials in the southeast. fight for him.

Besides, since he is from Shanxi, once he goes up, the outside world will still think that this is the victory of the practical school, and he will get the "face" that Gao Yushi just mentioned.

Although Shen Shixing was a little worried that Gao Wushi agreed so straightforwardly that there might be fraud in it, but it was not his style to go back on his word, so he could only say: "Then what Wei Jingyang mentioned... ..."

Gao Wushi said indifferently: "As long as the master can promise the student one thing, the student can be a middle-aged man with Mr. An, and advise him to be cautious."

Shen Shixing took a deep breath quietly and asked, "I don't know what Qiuzhen is talking about?"

Gao Wushi said: "Imperial court affairs are resolved by the imperial court, and shopping malls are resolved by the mall."

Shen Shixing opened his mouth, but he seemed to be a little hesitant, hesitating for a moment before saying: "I'm afraid it's not easy for the mall to solve such a big matter, right?"

Gao Wushi shook his head and said, "How will you know if you don't try?"

Shen Shixing hesitated for a while, seeing that Gao's pragmatic attitude hadn't softened at all, he let out a long sigh: "The waves behind the Yangtze River drive the waves ahead...it's up to you."
