The Jin army besieged the city, and the Song emperor’s daughter died

Chapter 305 Tell the story of the Song Dynasty well

After the missions of the three countries left, the focus of the Song Dynasty court's work was of course on how to implement the joint communique of the four countries.

Each of the four communiques has its own responsibilities.

Li Bangyan naturally focused on two things he was good at, one was trade and the other was cultural exchanges.

Li Gang was rigorous and old-fashioned, and was responsible for the formulation of a unified official text.

Sima Pu was responsible for specific affairs, including the selection of ambassadors, the construction of embassies, and the formulation of diplomatic regulations.

Li Bangyan felt that his ability to catch two of the four items meant something. It showed that his abilities were more appreciated and recognized by officials.

But in Zhao Fujin's view, cultural exchanges and trade should be on the same path. Instead of dividing the responsibility between two people, it is better to let Li Bangyan take charge.

Zhao Fujin was well aware of the decentralization mechanism of the Song Dynasty, which brought about buck-passing, falsehoods, and even stumbling upon each other.

In addition, Zhao Fujin also understood that from ancient times to the present, the spread of culture began with commercial activities. When trade flourishes, culture flourishes, and when trade declines, culture declines.

As for what is culture?

Zhao Fujin gave a clear explanation: "Li Bangyan, you must first understand what culture is. It is not poetry, music, drums and dance, nor tea porcelain and satin. If you regard cultural exchanges as holding a few poetry gatherings, A few visits by the Jiaofang Secretary to perform, or building a few libraries elsewhere and sending a few gentlemen to sit there, then don't mess around and waste money!"

Li Bangyan was puzzled and muttered, isn’t this what the culture of the Song Dynasty is all about?

Although he was puzzled, he still put on a look of humbly asking for advice: "What do the officials think we should do?"

Zhao Fujin threw the Frisbee to the prince and said with a smile: "Culture, every family thinks that their own is unique, and unique is the world, but this is not the case. Think about it, people in Jin think that the sheep-raising ceremony The characteristic is to strip people naked, cut them into sheep's clothing, and lead them around for a while. You don't have it in other countries, but only I, Daikin, have it. Isn't it unique?"

Li Bangyan smiled noncommittally and said nothing.

"If he brings the sheep-raising ceremony to Da Song Dynasty for exchange, will you beat him?"

Li Bangyan gritted his teeth: "Then he must be beaten, hard!"

The prince turned the Frisbee back and gave it to Zhao Fujin again in a coquettish and cute manner.

Zhao Fujin watched the prince running back and forth several times, sticking out his tongue and breathing heavily, then he put away the Frisbee and pointed to a pool in Genyue: "Go and play in the water by yourself."

The prince seemed to be able to understand people's words, so he turned around and rushed to the edge of the pool, and jumped in with a splash.

Zhao Fujin smiled and said: "In the same way, our tea ceremony is also very unique in theory, but others may not like it. It is just for drinking tea. It is very fancy and annoying. So, what you think is culture is not what others see. , probably like dregs.”

Li Bangyan thought thoughtfully: "What do the officials mean, you have to do what they want?"

Zhao Fujin waved his hand: "Why are you so insistent on either/or, black or white? What I mean is that you have to find the commonality of culture. Don't be self-righteous and think that others will like what you like, let alone make others like it. If you like it, do something you don’t like.”

Li Bangyan was even more confused: "What is the universality of culture?"

Zhao Fujin pointed to the prince writhing happily in the pool: "The freedom of all things, the dignity of existence, the prosperity of life, the justice of society, of course, the highest commonality is benevolence."

Li Bangyan was stunned for a moment and repeated: "Freedom, dignity, wealth, justice, benevolence..."

Zhao Fujin patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Yes, these are the universality of human beings, and the universality of human beings is the universality of culture. The cultural exchange you want to do is not just a poem or a poem. It's as simple as a song, a calligraphy and painting, or a tea ceremony performance. They are just carriers. Under these carriers, you want to let the people of other countries know that we all have these common qualities in the Song Dynasty. If they don't envy them, how can they agree? If they don’t agree, how can they yearn for it? If they don’t yearn for it, then I’m going to engage in a shitty cultural exchange!”

Li Bangyan was enlightened and suddenly realized: "I understand! The most fundamental purpose of the cultural exchanges that the officials want to do is to make the people of the Three Kingdoms envy the Song Dynasty..."

Zhao Fujin looked at Li Bangyan with sympathy. After listening to his summary of enlightenment, he shook his head with a wry smile and walked forward with his hands behind his hands: "Well, maybe these are the superstructures I mentioned. You can't look up, and it's embarrassing for you. .”

"Isn't this the purpose of the officialdom?" Li Bangyan asked, chasing Zhao Fujin from behind.

"Ha, of course not! I spent so much money just to pretend to be in front of others..." Zhao Fujin paused and changed a word. She couldn't explain the word "pretending". Why is it called pretense?

"Am I just trying to show off? To make others envious? Is there something wrong with me?" Zhao Fujin stopped: "I am trying to make them agree, then learn, and finally integrate!" Li Bangyan finally understood now, rolled up his sleeves, He gave a thumbs up to Zhao Fujin: "As the art of war goes, attacking the city is the bottom priority, and attacking the heart is the top priority. The officials are really smart! My respect for the officials is like the water of the Bian River..."

"Stop it!" Zhao Fujin didn't want to hear Li Bangyan's flattery. She just wanted to know what Li Bangyan planned to do.

Li Bangyan slapped his forehead: "I have an idea, can you tell me and let the officials correct me?"

Zhao Fujin pointed to a stone bench under the shade of a tree: "Sit down and talk."

When the monarch and his ministers came to the shade of the tree, Li Bangyan danced and said excitedly: "I will let the students of Taiyuan College choose any word from freedom, dignity, wealth, justice and benevolence, make a policy statement, and then publish it. Register and let the trade caravan take them to the Three Kingdoms..."

"Is this what you think?" Zhao Fujin smiled disdainfully.

"Isn't it appropriate?" Li Bangyan looked confused: "If the officials feel that the students from Taiyuan College are not qualified, they can just let the bachelor's close men do it."

Zhao Fujin laughed angrily: "My father is from the Song Dynasty? Slogan culture? Policy and preaching? It's useless!"

"Ah?" Li Bangyan scratched his head: "Aren't we always like this?"

Zhao Fujin glanced at him sideways: "Is what has always been correct? The ancestral method is the truth?"

Zhao Fujin could complain about the methods of his ancestors, but Li Bangyan did not dare. He could only laugh and say: "Then the official thinks..."

"Go to Goulanwashe! Find singers, storytellers, and storytellers. Write these contents into storybooks and compile them into songs! There is no other carrier that is easier to spread than stories, and easier to be subtle and accepted by people. .This is one of them!”

Zhao Fujin thought for a while: "Secondly, "Da Song Daily" will open a supplement to promote the true story of our Song Dynasty."

Li Bangyan frowned and asked, "What's the real story?"

"Which of the three countries has Anjifang, nursing home, Luzeyuan, and public rental housing in Kaifeng City? Can't we publicize it?" Zhao Fujin said with a smile.

Li Bangyan slapped his head: "Yes, yes, these, I can't help but envy them."

"Let's write about one person." Zhao Fujin stood up and said, "There is no one more suitable for the IP of Justice than him."

"Ah? Li Gang and Li Xiangguo?"

"No! Kaifeng Governor, Bao Zheng!"

Li Bangyan was stunned: "He? He...what's the matter with him?"

"Isn't there a crescent moon on his forehead?"

"Ah? Is there any?" Li Bangyan was at a loss.

"Isn't he the sun that cuts off the yang and the night that cuts off the yin?"

"Ah? Really?"

"Isn't he King Yama?"

Li Bangyan:......
