The new era of chaos begins in the Song Dynasty

Chapter 142 Disciples of the Su clan
Demon Suppressors claim to be selfless and have the duty to protect all people in the world, but this does not mean that there is no competition among Demon Suppressors, but this competition is limited to a more benign level.

The full picture of this kind of healthy competition is not well known, but there is a very important indicator, and that is continuity. If you can cultivate some better descendants of Demon Suppressors, whether as friends or teachers, then You will get some kind of favor.

It's just that no one knows what the so-called favor is except those who are favored themselves.

But inevitably, the demon-suppressing people, just like ordinary people of the same race in this land, have formed a unique atmosphere of respecting teachers and teaching and passing on the fire.

Chen Tongai started his career at a young age and has been through the bloody storms of the world for nearly sixty years. It can be said that he is accustomed to seeing spring flowers and autumn moons.There was a time when he taught many students, but whether it was because he lacked the foresight to recognize people or because he was unlucky, he never produced a serious demon-suppressing junior.

He was either incapable of success or fell into a sudden depravity, so that after experiencing several tragedies where he had to kill his relatives out of necessity, he finally gave up the idea of ​​becoming a disciple. The only one who became successful was sent to the Han family for foster care.

Of course, only after teaming up with Master Pang did Chen Tonge realize what his shortcomings were.

It's a pity that since he lived in seclusion in his hometown, there hasn't been an outstanding person in that place for more than [-] years, so Chen Tong'e often told himself that Baodao Konglao would sigh at the moon every now and then.

Ergou is an inadvertent attempt by Mr. Chen to "talk about being a teenager when he's old".

Facts have proved that Ergou did not live up to Old Man Chen's expectations, and he even gave Old Man Chen an even bigger surprise in return.

A generational figure like Zongze who will definitely shine brightly in the future is a high-quality student that no demon-suppressor should let go of. If we don’t take care of him as soon as possible, why are we still waiting for the Chinese New Year to give birth to a baby? What? !
Chen Tong was disgusted and anxious and wanted to go to Master Pang to discuss the strategy of accepting a disciple, but Ergou said: "Master, don't worry, not only Mr. Zong and his wife, but also several friends and companions, they are all first-class talents. The disciple feels that they all have the talent to become demon suppressors."

Chen Tong'e looked at the two dogs, but he didn't believe it in his heart, and said: "Boy! Do you think anyone can become a demon suppressor? It's a wonderful thing to think about! It's already possible to meet a great talent at the level of a Great Heavenly Lord. You have been lucky enough for three lifetimes, why do you still want heroes to gather together to have babies?"

Ergou said with a smile: "Master, if you don't believe me, I will take him to visit you tomorrow, and I will show you, master, my ability to make friends."

Chen Tong thought about it in disgust and said, "That's fine."

Then they collected the gold and silver on the ground, but Ergou talked to Chen Tonge about Li Gefei, a foreign minister of the Ministry of Rites.

Chen Tong'e said: "It seems that there are so many scandals in the court, so it's not surprising that Li Gefei is being plotted by others. He has a great reputation as a disciple of the Su family, so if others don't plot against him, then he should plot against him. Who is it?"

A descendant of the Su clan?

Ergou was a little confused. Although he knew Su Shi's status in the history of poetry, this guy had a rough official career almost all his life because of his big mouth, so that most people in later generations only thought that he was a Li Bai-style prodigal son. , but have no real talent for governing the country.

But in fact this perception is wrong.

There are three Su family father and son, Da Su, Xiao Su and Lao Su.

Putting aside old Su Su Xun for the moment, his greatest achievement in life was actually teaching two genius sons.

The older Su Shi and the younger Su Su Zhe were recognized by the world as being stronger than the younger Su. Not only did later generations think so, but also everyone in the Song Dynasty.

Su Shi's strength is not only reflected in his peerless poetry talent, but also his ability to manage affairs.

Later, after the Jingkang Incident, why did the Southern Song Dynasty set its capital in Lin'an, that is, Hangzhou.The reason is that when Su Shi was in Hangzhou, he built the place very well.

Digging out the almost silted West Lake and building another [-]-mile long lake. In ancient times, these projects were basically big projects that wasted people and money. But Su Shi not only did it, but he also did it brilliantly. He was so calm that he even went to court. No one knew at the time that he had done such an awesome thing.Because he did not ask for a penny from the court, he just asked for a one-third reduction in the local rice supply due to the drought in Hangzhou.

The land of Suzhou and Hangzhou has been a land of fish and rice since ancient times. There is a saying that "if Suzhou and Lake are cooked, the world is rich".Therefore, during the Northern Song Dynasty, Suzhou and Hangzhou and other prefectures and counties around Taihu Lake were not only burdened with heavy taxes, but were also forced to sell large amounts of rice to the government at low prices every year to supplement the shortage of grain-deficient land in the world.

This is called: rice offering.

Since Su Shi transformed Hangzhou's West Lake and built water conservancy facilities throughout the region, he has completely transformed Hangzhou into the most blessed place in the south of the Yangtze River.

What's more interesting is that at this time, Hangzhou and its surrounding areas were suffering from a drought. The victims gathered in Hangzhou. Su Shi was working on the project while providing disaster relief. At the beginning, Su Shi's start-up capital was only 50 guan from public funds and 1 taels of gold from his own pocket.In the end, the Hangzhou government not only did not lose money, but actually made money. In the end, it was left with more than 1 guan in relief funds and more than [-] shi in rice grain.

Damn it!No one in China in the past 5000 years has been able to carry out disaster relief and infrastructure projects like this. It’s really outrageous when you think about it.

By the way, the La La uprising in the south of the Yangtze River later turned out to be unable to walk around Hangzhou, and it was necessary to take root here. The counter-rebellion troops of the Northern Song Dynasty seized the opportunity and bulldozed it in waves.

Su Shi did more than that when he was an official.

Take the army as an example. It is an army that can devote itself to protecting the people in the face of natural disasters after the civilization is enlightened in later generations. It is basically our soldiers of the people.

In ancient times, once a natural disaster occurred, an army would be a good army if it could not end up causing disaster to the victims.

However, when Su Shi was the magistrate of Xuzhou, he did something that was incredible at the time.

When the Yellow River burst and flooded Xuzhou, Su Shi was able to persuade the Wuwei Battalion of the Forbidden Army that was guarding Xuzhou at that time, and led them to build embankments and block the mouths to fight floods and provide disaster relief.

As for Su Shi who was later demoted one after another, he carried out a wave of cultural missionary work wherever he went, not to mention the little things he taught all the way to Qiongzhou, Hainan Island.

Su Shi was unhappy in official circles all his life, in fact, it was because he was too talented.

Wutai Poetry Case!Isn't it just a few complaints? What's the big deal!The grumbling poets of the Song Dynasty died.

But, it’s okay for others to complain, like that person named Liu San, you can complain and scold as you like, it’s up to you to do what you can!

But it's not okay for you, Su Shi, to complain. Who knows if you are just complaining or if you really want to do something different.

Su Shi was able to manage affairs, gain military morale, and write poems to promote propaganda. Su Shi was lucky enough to have a Jinshi background. If he had a background like Di Qing, it would be up to you whether he would die if he dared to speak loudly.

If it weren't for Wang Anshi's last sentence: Would you kill talented people in order to have a saintly world?Su Shi may also have died.

At this time, Su Shi did not take sides in both the old and new parties, which was not a good thing. The reason was very simple. He saw these people clearly and knew very well that they were only engaging in power struggles through so-called reforms.

Su Shi: Get out of the way of this bunch of scoundrels. I can do the best job of governing the world!
Su Shi's former close friend Zhang Dun also saw this very clearly. He looked back and said:

relative!Which of us is following whom?It's okay!I will do the work you want to do for you, and you can go fishing in Hainan Island!
