After Shao Song

Chapter 68 Military Games (Two in One)

What Zhao Guan's family said about wandering around is really just wandering around here and then doing farming.Yes, you read that right, it’s farming. When I saw an old man or a child struggling to clean up the blockage in the flooded fields, I rolled up my sleeves and worked together. Not to mention that it was decent, all the officials around me were dumbfounded and refused to do it. The officials are all gone, but we really don't know how to do it. I'm afraid that causing trouble will make the officials unhappy.

Fortunately, Hu Hongxiu, who captured the boss, was also a close minister in his early years. He knew the temper of Zhao Guan's family and knew that this person was probably just venting his emotions... so he asked for an order early and asked everyone to follow the steps and not imitate without permission.To put it simply, do what you have to do.

Of course, the Jinshi who accompanied the army (yes, they still exist) and local officials will definitely write up this behavior. In the next few days, Di Bao will definitely publish it in Tokyo and Fenghuang Xun Bao will publish in Hangzhou how Zhao Guan's family did it personally. It moved the people of Ningxia.

However, as April approaches, the afternoon sun becomes more and more intense, and the temperature difference between day and night is also large. However, Zhao Guan's family is still patiently writing to the Qiang grandmother asking when her son, who is working as a porter with the Mongolian mission, will come back, leaving only one person behind. All the embarrassed ministers.After Hu Hongxiu heard about it, he accepted his fate and went to persuade Zhao Guan's family.

"It's not that I have nothing to do, but that I thought carefully and felt that all I, the emperor, can do now is dig canals for drainage." Zhao Jiu answered in the mud with a shovel and rolled up his trouser legs. They stood upright on the field ridge with their hands facing each other.

This move did not cause too much confusion, because Zhao Guan's family felt that he was not embarrassed, but others were embarrassed.So his partner was Yang Yizhong, the commander of the imperial class, who dredged the mud and drained the water, Liu Yan was the one who cleared the mud, and Zhai Biao and Duan Zhixing, another son of the Dali royal family who had just joined the imperial class, were carried away. He worked so hard that he had been scolded by Zhai Biao five or six times in the past two days... The work teams arranged around him were also from the imperial class.

No, the official was talking to the envoy, and his loud voice was heard from a distance, "You, mother, I have taught you so many times, the pocket must be opened and pulled, and the force must be even!" Otherwise, if the officials have been busy all morning and let go of this fool, their efforts will be in vain. Why are you so red-eyed? I'm so polite. I think back then, the current Mongol king Tuoli worked like the officials. You are a little king. Sun, why are you so squeamish! I really don’t know what it is about you that makes me want you to come closer and serve me."

Yes, this is the confidence. Now the Imperial Banzhi Chixin Cavalry includes five princes from Eastern and Western Mongolia, one prince from Gaochang, three Japanese princes, one Goryeo prince and several nobles, several nobles from Khitan Autonomous Road, and then this The grandson of the Dali Emperor.

So in Zhai Biao's eyes, these people are really worthless.

More importantly, in his simple (uneducated) heart, what happened to the royal family? Our official family was born in the Kangwang Dynasty. He came to Dabao and his farm work was smoother than mine. You losers should be made kings. Forerunner, um, yes, yes, that's the sentence.

Liu Yan couldn't stand it anymore and said: "Okay, Zhai Laojiu, you're done. I want to teach you aside. I didn't see that everyone is busy and blabbering here. We don't need to eat lunch."

The shocked uncle on the side said in a thick accent: "Guan Liu, you can't do this. Several acres of my family's land are served by the officials and you, but they have helped us a lot. If we don't even eat, The little old man will not be able to behave in the village from now on."

If Ma Xingzu were here, it would really be a picture of harmony between the officers and soldiers and the people as a family.

Seeing this, Zhao Guanjia had no choice but to put down his tools and went to sit with Hu Hongxiu on the field ridge.

Seeing that the other party didn't say anything, Zhao Jiu said: "My Ban Dingyuan is very worried today. Isn't he also here to persuade me to return to Luan as soon as possible?"

Back then, Hu Hongxiu traveled thousands of miles west to contact Yelu Dashi, and even reported crucial news when Yue Fei's main force was marching. All of this was a huge risk.Therefore, after the incident, he directly became the envoy of Ningxia Road. Before Zhao Jiu returned to the capital, he fulfilled his promise and conferred the title of Marquis of Dingyuan on this civil servant with a background of Imperial College.

Hu Canjun, whose hair was still short at that time, in just over half a year, went from an almost marginalized Privy Council editor with the rank of military officer to the highest ranking local official in the empire. He even directly surpassed him because of his title. His old boss Liu Ziyu and others.

But there is nothing to say about this. His legendary experience has been adapted into many audio-visual works by later generations, and even when compiling history, it has to be written down in great detail.Back in the day, people love to joke about it too.

Hu Hongxiu was serious and replied: "I will not persuade your Majesty, because I have been notified that Lu Benzhong, a scholar from Yutang, the secret pavilion's envoy, has left Tongguan. I guessed it right. Someone will come to invite your Majesty every month in the future. I just don't know." Can Ningxia, a poor place like this, afford to receive people one after another?"

Zhao Jiu didn't say what bad habits he had learned from Qu Duan after not seeing you for several years, but what he said was the truth. This was a problem.

He is pretending to be working people here. Of course, he is thinking about what to do next, but it also has the effect of prompting Lingzhou to complete spring plowing quickly. This dignified emperor has stepped into the soil with his feet, and people are standing beside him, no matter what. No matter how successful you are, whether you are a Jinshi, a famous family, a loyal martyr, or a member of the imperial cabinet or a military attache, you don't dare to neglect or say that your government is reducing production due to disasters. Anyway, you gather one by one to help clear the silt and encourage the people to work. You never dare to imitate That Zhang Zhongxiong who was sunk in the Yellow River.

But the benefits are significantly less than the expenses.

Hu Hongxiu thought to himself and said: "Guan family, this dynasty has only accepted Ningxia for six years. Before that, we irrigated a large area to grow grain for the Northern Expedition. Later, in order to implement your policy, we returned farmland to forests. We know that this effort cost hundreds of thousands of dollars." For food, the official was almost scolded to death by the Ministry of Revenue. Of course, I am not here to complain. The Yellow River stretches thousands of miles and is the lifeline of my north. The officials themselves do it personally, and I can only admire it. Moreover, I talked with Liu yesterday The Governor and Xiao Yushi have read the records and found that the problem is indeed very serious and must be dealt with. But even so, you have not returned from Beijing for more than half a year, and you encountered the Lishan incident, I really can't say anything to persuade you to stay. Helan Mountain." Of course Zhao Jiu knows that this person is telling the truth. If you say you are here to patrol the river, you have seen enough in the past ten days. If you go further, you will be in the territory of Tubo. Unless you step on my body, Don't even think about it. Besides, Ningxia's output is so much. Even if you take the lead and wave an iron catalpa, you can't turn sand into food. No matter what you think, there is no spring breeze but only sandstorms outside the Yumen Pass, and the emperor cannot stay for a long time. place.

Before Zhao Jiu could speak, there was indeed a gust of sand, and he was helped to hide in a shed. Fortunately, the wind was not very strong. He also laughed at himself: "Sandstorm, look at how Xixia has managed it well in Jiangnan. It is really an act of benevolence and righteousness for me to destroy the country." The surrounding officials were speechless for a while, and no one wanted to talk to him.

But looking at Hu Hongxiu's obvious aging in the past few years, Zhao Jiu is not happy, obviously this person is not a few years older than him, how immature when he was appointed as an official in Nanyang.So he said what he had thought up in advance, "Hongxiu, you are really telling the truth when you say that Xia is poor, so how about I send you and this place a fortune?"

Hu Hongxiu was stunned. He didn't know that the government issued national bonds, ran Northern Expedition lottery tickets, and opened a shipping company. But this place wasn't even the Silk Road. How could it be rich?

But I heard Zhao Guanjia say: "This kind of wealth lasts for a long time but does not irritate people's eyes. It is really a long-lasting stream. It is called the Military Games."

Even though Hu Hongxiu was well-informed, he didn't react for a moment and asked stupidly, "Guan, what is the Military Games?" Hey, have you seen this word in the Di newspaper? It was several years ago. Bar?Can you still find it? If not, go back and ask Hu Quan.

Zhao Guanjia was very proud and was not afraid of being blown away. He explained: "As the name suggests, it is a sports meeting exclusively for military personnel. This sports meeting is actually a large-scale event that combines Cuju, sumo wrestling and even running competitions. After all, these They are all sports. Of course, since it is a military sports meeting, some archery, fencing and other events should be added, especially actual combat, but it must be done so as not to hurt people's lives!"

Before Hu Hongxiu could say anything, the magistrate of Lingzhou almost knelt down in front of the officials and said with a bitter face: "Guardians, it is a good thing to keep fit, but you see how poor Ningxia Road is. All the funds you brought have been invested in treating Huang." Yes, Xiao Yushi can testify. "Oh my god, you just want to build a large-scale construction project to show off your martial arts capabilities, so you can't choose a wealthy place.

Zhao Jiu hated the fact that iron could not become steel, so she scolded him and said, "Every year, I have to stamp the allocation for Ningxia Road with a jade seal before counting it. What do you mean, I don't know? But you, the governor, don't you want to make your subordinates rich?" Ling is considered to be the best agricultural area of ​​this generation, and its output is still considerable. But if it becomes a place where people from all directions gather, will it still be so poor? Only by recruiting people can we become rich."

Hu Hongxiu was silent for a moment, then suddenly said: "Guan family, I don't dare to say whether this matter is rich or not, but I feel that the government family has found an excellent way to resolve the conflict between Han and Fan."

Zhao Jiu was overjoyed. He was indeed a man who could travel thousands of miles and had an international perspective.Yes, there are many reasons why he holds the Military Games, but this is one of them.

As mentioned in the previous article, the Song and Xia had a blood feud for hundreds of years. Since the fall of Xixia, the Ningxia Road was established, the Qinfeng Road was expanded, and the chief official Yuwen Xianggong had such a boundless love character, the problem of Han-Fan opposition often appeared.Hu Hongxiu and other pro-people officials were better off, not to mention the blatant discrimination within the army, so much so that Zhao Guan's family had to specifically beat Wu Jie.

Private fights between people are fought out of grievances, but if the conflict is resolved in the context of a competition, nothing can be resolved by a fight between men!Once your grievances are resolved, you won't be able to live a good life.

"So I have thought about it. This time it will be a pilot project first. Representatives of the Imperial Banzhi, Imperial Camp Central Army, and Imperial Cavalry Army will all participate. For the first time, we will not charge tickets. The location does not need to be specially built. The first is the largest Song Dynasty. The Military Games will be held in Helan Mountain. Pengju told me that there is a military stronghold somewhere, and after sorting it out, we can have a sword debate in Helan Mountain."

Zhao Guan's family was talking excitedly alone. People around him were either at a loss or smiling bitterly. Only Li Xiuzhi asked dutifully: "So, do you want to send out the residence newspaper?"

"Of course, this matter needs to be known to the whole world. The Emperor of the Song Dynasty is the organizer of this event." Zhao Jiu said loudly.

Well, in the end, the first Military Games of the Song Dynasty, or Helan Mountain Sword Competition, was scheduled to take place at the foot of the remaining mountains of Helan Mountain on the first day of May.

Ask for monthly tickets, rewards and comments.If updated, it will be added to this chapter.

　　It’s the Military Games. Have you noticed that some character has appeared? In fact, he is very inappropriate in terms of age. However, I am writing a novel.
