People in the Song Dynasty were lawless

Chapter 26 Playing Games

Zhao Jun's words were actually a bit rude.

Because from his perspective, he and Wazamuguo had only met each other twice, so it was a bit bad to directly say that he had realized his balls.

But at first he felt that Wazamuguo was talking nonsense and questioning his authority, which made him very unhappy.

Secondly, he didn't think too much at the time. When communicating with young people, he didn't have to maintain a humble posture at all times like when communicating with old people. He just said it casually as a joke, and his heartfelt words almost didn't pass through his mind.

I kind of regretted it afterwards.

Zhao Jun felt that although Wazhamuguo was a bit of a bully like the village chief Granima, he was an outsider after all and would have to stay in the village for two years, so he should build a good relationship with the villagers.

So after finishing speaking, he quickly added: "Of course, it may be that my guess is wrong. If the wealth is hidden among the people, the people will be grateful for the kindness of the Song Dynasty royal family, and the power to resist the Jin people will be stronger, and they will finally be defeated. Where is the golden man?"

His words made Zhao Zhen, Lu Yijian, Fan Zhongyan, Yan Shu and others all have black lines on their faces.

No matter what happens, the Jin people will attack Bianliang City?

The darker and darker it is, the more it belongs.

Zhao Zhen looked very unhappy and asked, "Does the Great Song Dynasty have nothing to offer?"

"It seems not. To sum up, the economy of the Song Dynasty was not healthy. It did not invest in basic education, basic transportation, scientific and technological development and technological progress, and its military investment was in vain. No matter how good this country's economy is, it has no meaning. big."

Zhao Jun took a sip of water and then continued: "As for the culture you mentioned, the culture of Song poetry has indeed left a strong mark in history. It is collectively called Tang poetry and Song poetry in the contemporary era, but that's all."

"Tang poetry, Yuan music, Ming and Qing novels, no one is worse than it. In terms of cultural influence, the Tang Dynasty is the pinnacle. It spreads far overseas. Japan still worships the Tang Dynasty today. Chinese gathering places around the world are called Chinatowns. The culture of the Song Dynasty can invade Is this the case?"

Until the 21st century, Ming and Qing novels and Tang Dynasty culture have profoundly influenced the Japanese.For example, the culture of the Three Kingdoms, Journey to the West, and the poetry of the Tang Dynasty. Bai Juyi is the most admired poet in Japan.

They even openly claim that they are the successors of the Han and Tang Dynasties. Whether it is architecture, thought or education, they all have a profound influence on the culture of the Han and Tang Dynasties.

In contrast, Song Ci and Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism may have some market in Japan, but their influence is minimal.

Not to mention Chinatown, they are everywhere.

So in terms of cultural influence, compared with the Tang Dynasty, the Song Dynasty was not even worthy of carrying shoes.

Even the Han Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty cannot be compared, because the Han Dynasty laid the foundation for today's Han people, and the novels of the Ming Dynasty, including "Three Kingdoms", "Journey to the West" and "Water Margin", are famous all over the world.

Zhao Zhen was left speechless. He didn't know what cultural invasion was, what spiritual corrosion was, and he didn't know how popular "Dragon Ball", which only borrowed characters from "Journey to the West", was all over the world. He didn't know how popular it would be in the future. "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has been used as a template to create many popular games such as "Three Kingdoms", "Three Kingdoms Heroes", "Three Kingdoms", and "Dynasty Warriors".

So he had no way to refute Zhao Jun's words. He could only mutter for a moment and said reluctantly: "Okay, maybe you are right."

"That must be right."

Zhao Jun shrugged and thought to himself, you are a little brat and you want to fight with me?

What degree do I have?
Can you beat me?

anyway.

What's going on in this village?

Why do everyone like to ask about the Song Dynasty?

Could it be that the village chief and party secretary liked the history of the Song Dynasty, which led to a trend of people loving history?
Zhao Jun was confused.

Since I came to Nini Village, I have seen all the men, women and children in the village.

But this village is full of history buffs.

And I particularly like the Song Dynasty.

what's the situation?
Is the Song Dynasty really so good?
"Is there nothing we can do about the three evils?"

Zhao Zhen asked emotionally.

At this time, the sun has risen, and the red sun is rising, bringing peace and tranquility to the earth.

Feeling the warm Hexi, Zhao Jun's mood became a little lazy, leaning on the chair, lazily said: "It's not that there is no way, but to find the right direction, first you have to figure out a cause and effect relationship. "

"The Song Dynasty won the country unfairly. Zhao Kuangyin himself was a warrior who usurped the throne. When he woke up, he wore a yellow robe and became the emperor. This was the case for all the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. So in order to prevent this from happening, the old Zhao family took extreme precautions against warriors, resulting in The martial virtues of the Song Dynasty declined."

"After releasing military power over a glass of wine, we had to appease the generals and nobles. We also had to win over the scholar-bureaucrats, so we had to spend money to support them. The causal relationship here is that it was not the "three redundancies" that caused the poverty and weakness of the Song Dynasty, but the poverty and weakness of the Song Dynasty. It was because the Song Dynasty was willing to spend money on the "three redundancies" issue that the Northern and Southern Song Dynasties enjoyed long-term peace and stability for more than 300 years."

"Raise more officials, and the scholar-bureaucrat class will help the old Zhao family maintain their rule. Raise more soldiers, and the refugees below will not rebel and threaten the rule of the old Zhao family. Spend more money that should not be spent, and support the generals and honorary men. Expensive, let them live a luxurious life, so the generals will not usurp the throne."

"So redundant officials: millions of soldiers are dependent on food and clothing. Redundant soldiers: millions of soldiers are dependent on food and clothing. Redundant expenses: millions of officials are dependent on food and clothing. If it is completely solved, the Song Dynasty will be completely finished. Because of this It was originally the fault of the Zhao family themselves, which turned the entire Song Dynasty into a deformed and unhealthy society, and the root cause was the social system, not just these three hazards."

"But if we want to solve this social system, we must either destroy the Song Dynasty and directly disrupt the entire social system and reshuffle it. Or we must make the cake bigger and generate more fiscal revenue, thereby alleviating the increasingly serious social problems."

"Your current fiscal revenue is only tens of millions of dollars. If you have to use it all to support these people, it will definitely create a deformed and unhealthy social environment. But what if the fiscal revenue is hundreds of millions of dollars? Wouldn't the social system become a A positive society that develops healthily?”

"Wang Anshi's reform is a way to make the cake bigger, to increase fiscal revenue through reform. The direction is definitely right, but his basic path is wrong. Without solving the most basic administrative issues first, it will be difficult to implement the reform content , simply changing the law will not bring those interest groups to heel."

"Fan Zhongyan's reform is basically the right path, but the direction is wrong. If he only thinks about cutting officials and not making the cake bigger, it will definitely cause everyone's opposition, especially when he attacks the scholar-official class, and the scholar-officials collectively oppose it. , causing him to directly lose the support of the upper-level rulers."

"It is said that if the water is clear, there will be no fish, and if the people are careful, there will be no disciples. If a country is big, it will inevitably have some drawbacks. But as long as the society is generally positive, then it is a sound society. You can have some drawbacks. , but the entire country cannot be a drawback.”

"The problem of three redundancies in the Song Dynasty is so persistent that it has seriously dragged down the country's finances and has become a drawback for the entire country. It is difficult to solve this situation in one step. There are definitely ways, but it can only be done step by step, step by step. If it’s too big, it’s easy to pull the egg.”

"So it's important to find the right direction. As for the specific direction, if you come here and ask me now, I actually don't know how to solve it."

"First, we are in New China now, and there is no point in solving the three-redundancy problem in the Song Dynasty. Second, I only know that the three-redundancy problem exists from history books, but I have no idea who and what happened in it and how to do it. ."

"In the final analysis, this is a problem that the Song Dynasty has to face, and it is not a problem that we have to face. It has nothing to do with us, so the specific method is unless I travel to the Song Dynasty and personally understand the social changes in the Song Dynasty. Otherwise, no matter how much I say, It’s just talk on paper.”

Zhao Jun said a lot in one breath. After listening, Zhao Zhen and others looked at each other.

Because after listening to his eloquent talk, I discovered that what he said was actually right.

That is the problem of three redundancies. It is not a chronic disease of the Song Dynasty, but the foundation of the Song Dynasty's life-saving.

It is like a medicine, both a life-saving medicine and a deadly poison.

This medicine had been taken since the time of the brothers Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Guangyi, and its toxins had caused cancer.

Zhao Zhen only saw the cancer on the surface and wanted to eradicate it, but he did not see deeply that the cancer had penetrated deep into people's skin.

If you want to cut off the cancer, it will be like treating late-stage cancer during chemotherapy. People will die, and the Song Dynasty will also perish.Therefore, the three redundant hazards and the Song Dynasty already have a symbiotic relationship.

The problem is that even without chemotherapy, late-stage cancer will still kill Da Song. So, does this medicine really have no cure?
It's just that what Zhao Jun talked about was the general direction, and he didn't talk about the specific reform content.

Because he was right about one thing, that is, he was born in New China more than 1000 years ago, and was not born in the Song Dynasty. Does the issue of the Song Dynasty have anything to do with his balls?

Although he majored in history, there were so many history books in China that even if he studied history, he couldn't memorize them all.

What's more, those who study history are not omniscient and omnipotent. The history of the Song Dynasty is just a small splash in the 5000-year civilization of China. At most, it can be regarded as one of the main components of Chinese civilization, and its importance is not high.

Compared with the Song Dynasty, Zhao Jun studied more basic theories and knowledge of the basic principles of Marxism, history, paleography, historical geography, etc., as well as Chinese and foreign general history, chronological history, Chinese and Western historiography, and selected readings of Chinese and foreign historical documents.

Who has nothing to do all day long to study the history of Song Dynasty?
If you have that spare time, you might as well study the history of the Han and the Tang. These two dynasties are the dynasties that the Han people are proud of.

But what he didn't know was that after he finished speaking these words in one breath, the people around him, including Zhao Zhen, Lu Yijian, Yan Shu, Fan Zhongyan and others, were first shocked by the symbiotic relationship between San Ruan and the Song Dynasty, and then they all looked at each other, with inexplicable and strange eyes flashing. of light.

This kid still thinks he is in New China?
Now he is still claiming that Zhao Kuangyin has wronged the country and insults his ancestors.

When his eyes regain sight in the future, I wonder what it would be like if he knew that he had really traveled to the Song Dynasty.

The expression on his face will be wonderful when the time comes.

Anyway, no matter what.

Zhao Zhen has already decided that when Zhao Jun regains his luster, he will not be able to eat juice as well as him.

But it would be different if he honestly solved the three troubles for me.

Hey.

Zhao Zhen laughed evilly in his heart.

"What, am I right?"

Zhao Jun keenly felt that after he finished speaking, the whole place was silent, leaving him confused.

"Yes, yes, but aren't we discussing and studying history?"

Yan Shu quickly took over the conversation and said: "Our village is very fond of history. I heard that Teacher Zhao is a college student in the history department, and everyone is very interested. The history of the Song Dynasty is particularly valuable for research. If you don't understand something, you must ask the teacher for help."

"Don't take it seriously when asking for advice. Let's discuss and study together."

Zhao Jun has been here for more than ten days and has relaxed a lot. He is not as rigid as he was at the beginning.

Because he found that the people in the village were quite easy to talk to. Even if he said bad things about Zhao Guangyi, as a fan of the Donkey Cart God of War, the village chief didn't say anything.

It seems that they are quite nice people.

Yan Shu rolled his eyes and said: "Xiao Zhao, you are idle anyway, how about we play a game?"

"play games?"

Zhao Jun wondered: "With this free time, Uncle Lari, you might as well send me to the county to have my eyes checked. I still can't see."

"I know you are anxious about your eyes, but don't be anxious yet. Our doctors are all experts in the provincial capital. If he says he can help you regain your sight, he will definitely restore your sight."

Yan Shu waved his hand and said, "Don't you still believe me?"

"Ok."

Zhao Jun said helplessly: "What game?"

"if."

Yan Shu smiled and said: "I mean, if you are in the Song Dynasty now, and we provide you with some problems that are harmful to the three redundants, do you have a way to solve them?"

"What kind of game is this?"

"It doesn't hurt to come and have some fun."

"Okay, let's talk first."

"Do you know the tea method?"

"It can't be the cross-citation method."

Zhao Jun frowned. He had learned about this and knew about it. It seemed to be a redundant issue in Sanrunli.

"Exactly."

When Yan Shu and Zhao Zhen heard that Zhao Jun knew, their eyes lit up and they couldn't wait to look at him.

"I remember Li Zhen solved the problem of the cross-citation method using the Qianqian method and the sticking method?"

Zhao Jun said.

There is a professional course teacher at his university who studies the history of the Song Dynasty. He also wrote a part about the tea method and taught it in class.

However, I just talked about the methods used by Li Shen, and did not go into details.

Yan Shu said: "We also studied some historical books and found that although Li Zhen's money-seeing method and sticking-shooting method can solve the problem, they also have many disadvantages. Moreover, there are constant objections from tea merchants and lower-level officials, which consumes the cash of the national treasury. The speed is also much faster than previous methods, what should we do?"

"That's it"

Zhao Jun thought for a while and said: "Uncle Nalari, please tell me the specific situation."

"it is good."

Yan Shu explained the problems of the cross-citation method in detail.

Zhao Jun sometimes pondered, sometimes frowned, and sometimes nodded slightly. He didn't seem to expect that there were people with such thorough research on history in this deep mountain and old forest.

It seems that the charm of history is full of attractions for everyone.

Zhao Zhen, Lu Yijian and others looked at him with hopeful eyes. Now the tea method was corrupt, the national treasury was being consumed excessively, and a war was about to begin. They needed an urgent idea for a cost-saving tea method.
