Big Song Xiaohou Ye

Chapter 42
Li Ce couldn't help but be in awe when he heard this. This is a good official who truly pleads for the people. He will return to the capital soon. The first thing he thinks about is not his future official career, but the border defense construction here and the lives of the people. .

Seeing Li Ce bowing his head in thought, Chen Yaozuo smiled and said, "Do you understand what I'm saying?"

"Yes, I understand."

"Oh? Then tell me."

Li Ce froze, he was being polite, but he didn't expect Chen Yaozuo to really test him, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and answer: "Yes, in fact, Master, you old man is setting up a big game."

"Oh? That's right, what you said is very fresh, you go on." When Chen Yaozuo became interested, he smiled and looked at Li Ce, beckoning him to continue talking.

"You are implementing a policy of recuperation. Looking at the domestic conditions of the Song Dynasty and the Liao Dynasty, in fact, the Liao Kingdom can't consume us at all. Let's put it this way, our Song Dynasty is going uphill, and the Liao Kingdom is going downhill. Our Song Dynasty is one year old. It will take three to five years for the Liao Kingdom to complete the recovery of domestic food, financial revenue, and people's livelihood. As long as we survive this period, when our national strength is restored, we will launch a deadly war against Liao with thunderous force. At that time, the hidden dangers of the Liao Kingdom will definitely be eliminated. Then, can we go to war now?"

Chen Yaozuo was getting excited when he heard that, Li Ce's analysis was very correct, every point was on point, exactly the same as what he thought, he didn't expect that his apprentice had this vision at a young age, he knew how to endure, completely different from this The arrogance of most young people, especially some scholars, is really good.

Chen Yaozuo looked at Li Ce with admiration, and motioned him to continue, as if he was sober now.

Seeing his expression, Li Ce seemed to be speaking well, and continued confidently: "Now the war is going on, and the outcome is really unpredictable. The national strength of the Song Dynasty has not yet fully recovered. Even if we barely win the war, the economy and people's livelihood of the entire country will suffer. Go back at least 20 years!"

"Huh?" Chen Yaozuo's eyes lit up when he heard this. Li Ce's words just now were extremely shocking. When he discussed with his colleagues in the court before, everyone also talked about this topic. It's not very clear. Li Ce expressed it so concretely and digitally today, only then did he realize that the consequences are so serious!
"Well, the old man is right, haha, the old man has taken in a good apprentice, the great Song Zhongxing is expected!" Chen Yaozuo suddenly laughed loudly.

When Li Ce saw this, he also grinned and laughed. In the quiet backyard in the middle of the night, there were two people, an old man and a young man. It looks so awkward...

"Then let me tell you, based on your thinking, if you rest for a few years before going to war, the price Da Song will pay will be much smaller than now, and the odds of winning will be much higher, right?" Chen Yaozuo said appreciatively.

"Well, good regards, Master."

Li Ce learned the history of the entire feudal dynasty in his previous life, and he was very familiar with the grasp of this historical context.He thinks that the most common things, in this era, are limited by the lack of information, coupled with the teaching of Confucianism, leading to some flexible ideas, which are not accepted by everyone.For example, the idea of ​​saving the country with curves, many scholars believe that the civilized land of the Celestial Dynasty has the most face, how can they be afraid of barbarians like Liao thieves, so they can only stretch but not bend, even temporarily!

"Well, maybe I was too worried as a teacher. After all, there are still many colleagues in the court who agree with the old man's political views. The person who will take over the old man this time may not be the fierce fighter." Chen Yaozuo looked up at the moon in the sky Said.

After finishing speaking, he lowered his head, took Li Ce's hand and said, "As a teacher, I am very pleased that you have this insight and vision. With more experience and experience, the future is limitless. Maybe the Great Song Zhongxing will rely on you in the future. Don't be surprised, don't think Being a teacher is too exaggerated. I have seen countless people in my life, and I will not be mistaken.

After I leave, you must practice hard in the army, and you must not be too arrogant just because you are a teenager.In the Song Dynasty, literati did not touch martial arts, and warriors could not write, but you have both. In your own words, you are both civil and military, haha... In the future, you will go farther than those pure warriors and literati, Don't be too persistent because of your status at this time. After returning to Beijing as a teacher, I will find a way to transfer you to Beijing when the time comes. You have a literati background, and you have worked hard as a teacher. I think those Qingliu will not be too much embarrass you.The water here on Hebei West Road is shallow, you will have to leave sooner or later, when you will soar into the sky. "Chen Yaozuo said this, pointing to the full moon in the sky.

Li Ce suddenly thought of a poem at this time, and couldn't help reciting it: "The good wind sends me to the blue sky by force!" He also got a little drunk, and said whatever he thought of.

Chen Yaozuo was so surprised that he turned his head to look at Li Ce and said, "What a poem! You still have such a talent for writing, haha...Your boy can always surprise my teacher! Well, the good wind sends me to the blue sky with its strength! Good, good!"

In fact, Li Ce doesn't know who said this poem, but judging from Chen Yaozuo's reaction, it seems that he has never heard of it before. It should be made by celebrities after the Song Dynasty, but now he has become an original one.

"Oh, by the way, it seems that you are about to turn [-], and you don't have an inscription yet. How about drawing an inscription for you before the teacher leaves?"

"Of course that's great," Li Ce said with a smile.Haha, this way, I don’t have to worry about it, and if someone asks me in the future, I can also say openly that my name was taken by my teacher Chen Yaozuo.

"Your single name is Ce, Ce, upper bamboo and lower wood, which means bamboo wood. Presumably when your father named you, he also hoped that you would be as noble and tough as bamboo. Zen master Shi Yuan once wrote a Zen poem: Going to plant flowers, the garden will be full of cold greenery and dust-free; in summer, when you are idle and troubled, there is still a breeze to borrow from your neighbors. The Zen master shows pity for the world, and the superficial meaning is that he hopes to use the fresh air of bamboo to share with the world and eliminate the troublesome summer heat. Mencius has the same idea of ​​"benefiting all the world". You are young and promising, and you have extraordinary insight. The future political circle of the Song Dynasty will definitely have a dazzling new star. As a teacher, I hope that when you become famous in the future, don't forget the people's livelihood. Difficult, mostly to do some practical things for the people of the Song Dynasty, so as a teacher, I took the word for you—"Jizhi", Chen Yaozuo said meaningfully.

"Li Jizhi?" Li Ce frowned and whispered, why does it sound so awkward...

If you are a mouthful, you can be a mouthful, the implication is good, if you are successful, you can help the world, helping others is the foundation of happiness, I, Li Ce, have never been a selfish person, so let's call it "helping the world"!

"Since you have taken the position of commander, you are about to lead troops. You have no experience in leading troops, and you are a literati. The atmosphere in the army has always been aggressive. I am afraid that it will not be so smooth for you when you first take office. If you really can't stand it Just come and tell me, this commander's military officer, let's not do it." Chen Yaozuo continued.

"Everything is difficult at the beginning. I am mentally prepared for nothing. Don't worry, master." Li Ce smiled, this guy thought he was an official, how could he give up so casually.

"Okay, let's wait and see as a teacher. Well, it's time now. You are now officially organized in the army, and you will be bound by this military law. You have to get up early tomorrow to train troops. It's not too early, earlier Go back and rest." Chen Yaozuo patted Li Ce in satisfaction.
