Guide to Traveling through the Northern Song Dynasty.

Chapter 300 0295 [Oolong and then Oolong]

Zhu Ming let Qiao Huan do the job of making up households for Qi Min.

This person can link up with all barbarians and fool many barbarians into fighting.Now with subordinate officials and town soldiers, are you afraid that you won't be able to register Qimin for the familiar barbarians?

"Sir, here are the two classics, thirty copies each." Wei Yingshi and Zeng Xiaoduan came over with books in their hands.

When Zhu Ming led troops to fight, he asked his two disciples to watch the county government.Although the system cannot sign official documents on behalf of Zhu Ming, it is still possible to convey government orders. It is up to the officials to choose whether to listen or not.

In addition, the two were also responsible for copying books, [-] copies each of "University Chapters and Sentences" and "Doctrine of the Mean Chapters and Sentences".

The words in the two books are not many, so asking them to copy repeatedly is tantamount to strengthening memory and understanding.

Zhu Ming asked Bai Sheng to help him carry some. In addition to bringing his students and entourage, he also called his wife Zhang Jinping, and they all headed towards Lizhouzhou.

There are only more than 20 students in the school, and the principal Su Mao led the crowd to welcome them.

Zhu Ming asked Bai Sheng to hand out the book, and said with a smile, ""Da Da Zhang Ju Shu Yi" has been listed as a banned book by the imperial court. You can read it or not. The other one doesn't matter."

Lizhou is too remote, although official documents of banned books have been sent, but no one takes it seriously.

Now hearing that the banned book is in my hands, everyone was very excited, and quickly opened it to criticize.

Zhu Ming added: "Seeing that Lizhou's academic momentum is not strong, I plan to use the holidays to teach a few lessons in person. Those who are interested can listen, and those who don't want to not listen. Students make their own choices."

It is rare for Lizhou to have famous people giving lectures, how could the students miss the opportunity?
What's more, we still have to talk about banned books!

Seeing that everyone was seated and no one left, Zhu Ming said, "The way of the university..."

Zhang Jinping is also like a good student, sitting in the corner and listening.

When Ju Ming was giving lectures in Jinzhou, she often heard his father mention it.But at that time, the two were engaged and had chosen an auspicious day, so it was inconvenient for Zhang Jinping to see his fiancé before marriage.

Now, she can finally come to the scene to listen to her husband's lecture.

Shuyi in Hanyuan Town is in full swing to organize households for Qimin. Zhu Ming only listens to reports every few days, and spends the rest of his time lecturing to state students.

……

But it is said that Lin Bing led the barbarians to the north, and instead of taking the difficult and dangerous Shu road, he chose to go down the Yangtze River by boat.

After passing the Three Gorges, it is a smooth road, which can cover hundreds of miles in a day.

In the countryside along the way, the land is being measured everywhere.

This is because the year is not good, there are floods in the southeast, severe drought in Huaidong, famine on the Northwest Road of Jingdong, and the Songjiang uprising on the East Jingdong Road.The imperial court of the Song Dynasty was in dire financial straits, and Cai Jing once again ordered an inventory of the country's land acres, re-determined rents, taxes, and taxes, and charged more money and food to make up for the difference.

One can imagine how chaotic the place has become.

In order to gain political achievements, officials recklessly stretch the land and increase taxes in vain.Officials took advantage of the opportunity to blackmail and extort everywhere. If they didn't bribe, they would have more land and more taxes.

Cai Jing slammed on the accelerator for the Northern Song Dynasty and rode toward the cliff.

Tokyo.

Song Huizong had already received the news of Lizhou's victory, so he didn't care about it.

Because it was just a big victory for the officers and soldiers and a beating of the barbarians, it did not open up territories and establish states and counties.

What is there to be happy about without the merits of expanding the soil?

Yu Wenchang and Zhu Ming presented the drawings of the catapult, following the formal process.Seeing the names of the two of them, Cai Dang directly withheld them and did not submit them to the emperor for review. Song Huizong still doesn't know them.

Before the heavy snow blocked the road, Lin Bing finally took the whole journey back to Tokyo by boat.

He is a living man himself, so he can meet the emperor by himself, and with the help of Tong Guan, he can easily meet Song Huizong.

"All the barbarians in Lizhou came to pay tribute?" Song Huizong suddenly became energetic.

Lin Yu added fuel and jealousy: "The barbarians in Lizhou are rebellious and unruly. They also secretly communicated with Dali Kingdom and accepted the canonization of Dali Kingdom in private. Especially the Sichuan barbarians of the Qiong tribe have plundered the Han people many times and robbed the goods of various ministries. The minister was ordered to inspect Lizhou, after learning that the barbarians deceived the king, ordered Yu Wenchang, the prefect of Lizhou, and Zhu Ming, the county magistrate of Hanyuan, to send troops to punish them!"

"I dared to withhold the belongings of the Tea and Horse Department, went to Jiazhou to buy grain and grass, and asked Chengdu Fulu to send food. Relying on the power of the official family, the whole journey was like a broken bamboo. When I arrived outside Xin'an City, I personally went to the city to persuade the emperor to surrender. Great righteousness, surrounded by heavy troops, the great ghost master of Baimandu suddenly regretted his mistake, so he had to leave the city..."

"The minister was in Xin'an City, on behalf of the emperor, to form an alliance with all the barbarians. The barbarians were overwhelmed and fearful of the grace of heaven, so they brought rhino horns, ivory and other things to Beijing to pay tribute with the minister, just hoping to bathe in the official's great virtue face to face."

"Since Emperor Taizong, some barbarians in Lizhou have always refused to pay tribute. The grand occasion of hundreds of barbarians entering the capital has not been repeated for 20 years. Now all the barbarians have come, and the martial arts of the officials are directly catching up with Taizong!"

Song Huizong became more and more happy when he heard the words. He liked to hear the sentence that martial arts went straight to Taizong, and he praised: "Unexpectedly, Qing also knows military affairs, and is both wise and brave. It is very rare. I want to join forces with Jin to attack Liao, and Qing is the capital of the Privy Council." Chengzhi, I have also been to the Liao Kingdom to familiarize myself with the enemy's situation. Now Zhuoqing is co-signing the Privy Council and assisting Tong Guan to prepare for the attack on Liao."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Lin Bing was ecstatic.

The privy council member who signed the same contract can be understood as the lowest-ranked deputy privy envoy.

There was no such official position before, but it was specially set up for Tong Guan three years ago.After Tong Guan worked for three months, he was promoted, and the position was abolished again.

Now that Lin Yu got this position, he couldn't help but have many fantasies. The emperor was training him as a child.

In fact, the victory in Lizhou was just an opportunity.

Lin Bing had already registered with Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty. Because Chuanlu read his name wrongly, every time he was promoted, his old account was turned over, and he had to be thrown away to be a magistrate.

Repeatedly like this, Song Huizong felt that Lin Bing was very pitiful, and this time he just took the opportunity to be promoted.

Song Huizong asked again: "Where are the emissaries of the barbarians?"

Lin Bing replied: "It has been settled properly, just waiting for the face-to-face."

Song Huizong was not in a hurry: "Let them wait and talk about it after the spring."

Every spring, before the Lantern Festival, envoys from foreign countries would pay tribute, and the emperor would hold a grand court meeting, followed by a grand royal archery event.

At the time of imperial shooting, all civil and military officials of Song State could sign up to participate.If you can win many envoys from the vassal state in the archery activity, you will be rewarded a lot, and you can be promoted easily.

……

Lizhou is too boring, Zhu Ming can only study and give lectures to dawdle, and at the same time guide Qimin, who is a member of the familiar and barbarians.

Zhu Guoxiang was not idle either. He improved the wire drawing technology of the Song Dynasty.Using gear levers to save effort, only one wire can be pulled at a time, instead of four wires at the same time, which is the "four-hole wire drawing" technology.

It not only pulls out more wires, but also saves labor.

Zhu Guoxiang began to recruit craftsmen to quietly build chain armor.Occasionally, a few pairs are smuggled and sold. This thing is expensive, and selling a few pairs can maintain the operation of a small workshop.

Winter has passed and spring has come, officially entering the second year of Xuanhe.

Hu Yanqing was finally released by Wanyan Agu, and asked Song Huizong to change the imperial edict into a letter of credence and resend the envoys to form an alliance with the Kingdom of Jin.

Song Huizong had a big oolong, and could only accept the fact that the emperor of Jin was not his courtier.Not only did he rewrite the letter of credence, but he also wrote it himself and asked the envoys to take it to the Kingdom of Jin.

On the way, Zhao Liangsi asked to check the credentials, and Hu Yanqing took them out carefully.

After reading it, Zhao Liangsi was dumbfounded: "Allied Jin to attack Liao, why did the Great Song Dynasty only want the Yanjing Office and manage the state city?"

Hu Yanqing asked: "What's wrong?"

Zhao Liangsi explained: "The imperial pen of the official family is equivalent to only asking for the seven states of Yanjing Road. If it is written according to the Guoshu, the remaining states such as Yun, Huan, Ying, Shuo, Gui, Ru, Xin, and Wu are counted as ours. If the Great Song Dynasty is defeated by itself, it must be handed over to the Kingdom of Jin, and it will be the territory of the Kingdom of Jin from now on."

Hu Yanqing was dumbfounded and turned to look at Ma Zheng.

Ma Zheng was also stupid, not knowing what to do.

The three of them looked at each other in blank dismay, but they dared not go back and ask the emperor to rewrite the letter of credence.With such a big oolong, does Song Huizong not want to lose face?
Maybe the emperor could rewrite the national letter, but Song Huizong must be dissatisfied with them because he lost face, and there will be no good fruit in the future.

The three discussed repeatedly, and decided to make the mistake and go to the Kingdom of Jin.

Perhaps the king and ministers of the Kingdom of Jin didn't read poetry and books, so they couldn't see the loopholes in the national books.

It's strange if you can't see it, Wanyan Aguda received the national letter, and almost laughed out loud after reading it.If this method of distribution is followed, even if Da Song takes back the Qizhou on Yanjing Road, he will be surrounded by Jin Guotuan.

Zhao Liangsi tried his best to make amends, saying: "Pingzhou (Lulong), Yingzhou (Changli), and Luanzhou (Luanxian) originally belonged to Yanjing, and should also belong to the Song Dynasty."

Wanyan Aguda said: "These three states are not on Yanjing Road."

Zhao Liangsi was dejected. These three states were the gates of Yanjing. If they didn't get them, Jin Guo could send troops to Yanjing at any time.

The envoys of the Song Dynasty were worried. They were miserable by Song Huizong.

The letter of credence was written by Song Huizong himself, and he had only discussed it with Tong Guan.It was impossible to change it from the moment it was taken out of the palace, at least the envoys did not dare to change it.

Song Huizong didn't know about this, he happily held the court meeting, and personally summoned the envoys of the barbarians.

"You are the great ghost master of Baimandu, who I canonized. Why do you repeatedly violate the border and loot tribute?" Song Huizong asked.

Jumeng came to Tokyo from thousands of miles away, saw the prosperity of Tokyo, and knew that he was incomparable with the state of Song. I have been convinced. Your Majesty the Emperor of Song Dynasty, your brilliance is like the sun, and I am just a firefly. Compared with the sun with the light of a firefly, this is my ignorance."

These words were taught by Lin Bing.

Song Huizong was really happy to hear that, and asked about the details of the battle in Lizhou.

Jumeng still followed what Lin Bing said, saying that Lin Bing personally led troops to fight and persuaded him to surrender outside the city.Those officers who showed bravery were also replaced by the sixth son who didn't know where. Anyway, Song Huizong couldn't check it himself.

Song Huizong said: "Your family will live in Tokyo, and you will be rewarded with the first house, and then you will be named Marquis of Shunyi."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Ju Meng hurriedly kowtowed.

Song Huizong asked curiously again: "The leveling cannon can really throw a hundred catties of boulders, and it doesn't require too many gunners?"

Jumeng replied: "Exactly."

Song Huizong ordered the craftsmen to build it, and he wanted to see it in person.

The minister who was originally from Chengdu took the opportunity to recommend Yu Wenchang to be in charge of the Chengdu Fulu Tea Horse Department, and Song Huizong readily agreed.

He called Li Bangyan again, and said with emotion: "This Zhu Ming, no matter where he goes, he can always do something. He is obviously talented, but he mocks me as a foolish king. How can he be used?"

Li Bangyan said: "Let him write a letter of repentance, realize his mistakes, and then be promoted elsewhere."

Song Huizong nodded and said: "This statement is reasonable."
