New Shun 1730

"Master Bai, you are not a rat, so why are you greedy for that sip of sesame oil? To put it bluntly, this is an opportunity. If you can seize it, Master Bai may be able to rise to the top."

"In the previous dynasties, such as Xie Sheng, Shang Zhou Zuo, etc., they were all promoted to ministers and even cabinet ministers from county magistrates and prefecture magistrates. Who said that ministers must be in the top three?"

"I might as well give Mr. Bai a solid foundation."

He blinked at Bai Yunhang and whispered: "If you say why you want to give this opportunity to Master Bai, don't believe me when I say it to Master Bai. I want to establish practical learning, but nowadays practical learning is mostly tied to foreign religions. Yes. Therefore, there is a saying that 'it would be better for China not to have a good calendar than for there to be Westerners in the country'."

"If foreign religions are not banned, practical learning cannot flourish. Only by banning foreign religions can practical learning and Christianity be separated. Christianity is Christianity, and practical learning is practical learning. How can they be treated together?"

"Master Bai has done a good job in setting up teaching plans in Fujian. The imperial court has the intention of banning religious teachings. Only when foreign religions are banned can practical learning flourish. Otherwise, there will always be people in the court who tie practical learning and Christian religion together to confuse the public."

"I want to develop practical learning, so naturally I am really grateful to Mr. Bai for developing lesson plans in Fujian."

This reason...

It's much higher than what I heard before.

However, Bai Yunhang still only believed half of it. After thinking about it for a long time, it seemed to make sense.

Of course he understands the difference between practical learning and Christianity. After all, he served as a county magistrate in Fujian for several years and has really seen the skill of Westerners in practical learning. Moreover, he understands one thing better than many people in the DPRK: the Dutch, the British , although they are also Christians, they are heresies of the Catholic Church in Korea. It does not mean that they cannot engage in practical learning.

If it were anyone else, Bai Yunhang might not even believe half of it.

However, in front of me is Liu Yu. Thinking about Liu Yu's actions in the rumors, it seems that this person is really a loyal minister, the kind who is dedicated to the king?

And he seems quite indifferent to fame and fortune?

Such a character, coupled with this sentence, finally has half of the credibility.

Just like the four words "serve the country with loyalty", if it was said by Yue Wumu, it would be completely believed; if it was said by Han Shizhong, it might be 70% to 80% credible; but if it was said by Qin Hui, it would be completely untrustworthy.

Could it be that the person in front of me is really a sweetheart?

Seeing that Bai Yunhang was still silent, Liu Yu said again: "Master Bai is not worried about trouble because of me, right? To put it bluntly, if you have too many debts, you don't have to worry, if you have too many lice, it doesn't itch. Master Bai has never heard that I am in the capital." , the matter of being beaten up by a ‘national traitor’ by the Imperial College Supervisor?”

Bai Yunhang had heard about this and laughed, but Liu Yu said again: "It's just that you don't know yet. That day when the Rakshasa mission left, His Majesty sent someone to Rakshasa to celebrate the Rakshasa Tsar's enthronement ceremony. Someone I wrote a couplet for those who went to Rakshasa."

It is beyond its kind and outstanding, and it cannot be tolerated in the era of Yao and Shun.

If you can't serve people, how can you serve ghosts? Why go to the country of your parents?

"It is said that there are people who cut their fingers, claiming that 'someone who is ashamed to go to Rakshasa is a fellow countryman, cut off his finger to swear an oath'. I carry the reputation of 'national thief', 'Qin Hui', and 'treacherous sycophant'. Master Bai will not think that , Qin Hui is afraid of being charged with Wang Jinggong again? "

Bai Yunhang hurriedly said: "Master Liu is joking. Wang Jinggong was a little close to Qin Hui in this dynasty, but he is far away from Qin Hui in this dynasty."

In accordance with Dashun's political correctness, he rectified Wang Anshi's name, and in his heart he believed Liu Yu's words half more.

It's not because of the helplessness and bitterness revealed in these words.

It's because Bai Yunhang knows Liu Yu's cultural level, and if it's nonsense, he won't tell that pairing.

However, he did not know that this couplet was still plagiarized by Liu Yu. It was written by Wang Kaiyun, the mentor of Yang Du, Qi Baishi and others, to the first Manchu ambassador to Britain.

But when it comes to Dashun, it doesn't seem to be against the law at all. If a nation's profound culture doesn't even have pride and conceit, it will definitely fail. The French have always believed that the center of the world map is Paris, which is normal.

There are many people who have been the ruler of the Celestial Empire for more than a thousand years, but there are many people who cannot believe, do not want to believe, or do not want to believe that the Celestial Empire has been reduced to princes.

Normally, only when you are forced into a desperate situation will you think about whether you have sunk. In order to allow Dashun to properly integrate into the Westphalian system and get familiar with the feeling of being a prince instead of the emperor for two thousand years, Liu Yu took more blame than this.

Bai Yunhang really believed this.

In silence, Bai Yunhang thought quickly.

First of all, Liu Yu is a descendant of a noble family and cannot urinate in the same pot as the gentry.

Secondly, Liu Yu was born in Wude Palace, and he could not urinate in the same pot as those who relied on the imperial examination.

Thirdly, Liu Yu does not rely on land but relies on business, and he cannot piss in the same pot as those who rely on land rent.

Finally, Liu Yu was trusted by the emperor at a young age, trained ten thousand troops, and paid no attention to money. Is this kind of person afraid of impeachment?

So, is all this really because Liu Yu is a temperamental person, and feels that if he wants to develop practical learning, he must first ban Christianity and separate Christianity from practical learning, so he is very grateful to himself, and then acts out of temperament?

But this favor, or gift, is too big, right?

After thinking for a long time, Bai Yunhang still couldn't believe that there was such a good person in the world?

There are risks to this kind of thing, of course, but there are also opportunities. Just like when he was working on teaching plans in Fujian, there were of course risks, but there were also opportunities.

The problem is that opportunities like the lesson plan are not the same as this opportunity.

In the end, Bai Yunhang still asked the most core question.

"Master Liu, why don't you tell His Majesty this idea and this opportunity? Your Majesty will definitely appreciate it."

Liu Yu made a distressed look and said with a wry smile: "The official hat is too big, which makes my head hurt. With someone's ability, it is not difficult to become a marquis when Junggar is not at peace and the southwest is not settled, right? Has Mr. Bai heard of this story?" The poor farmer guessed the life in the Forbidden Palace, thinking that the emperor must be carrying a golden pole and the empress of the East Palace was baking pancakes with sesame oil? Master Bai thought that such an opportunity was rare. In my eyes, it was just... those four How do you say it? It's so easy to find. When I was a kid, I hated the heavy gold lock hanging around my neck, and I hated the trouble of going to the homes of various princes to pay New Year greetings..."

"Uh..." Bai Yunhang was really speechless. He thought that he had gambled everything in order to climb up and only reached the fifth level. After a while, he smiled bitterly and said: "Yes, yes."

"One more thing, Mr. Bai is a flag for banning religion. If Mr. Bai raises this flag, the ban on religion will be faster and the more discussions will be generated. Some things will become clearer with more debate. Is practical learning the same as Western learning? Is practical learning the same as Christianity? Teaching binding? I want to quickly spark a heated discussion about these things and then ask people to clarify them.”

Liu Yu thought to himself, most of what I said is true.

But the most important thing is... if I tell you about this, the emperor will definitely be afraid of causing trouble, and will hide it and say it is his own intention. In the end, I will get a "great talent". The problem is I don't need this anymore. A few years later, the fight against Junggar was uneventful, like stepping on ants, better than anything else.

There is no need to elaborate on this matter, and there is no way to elaborate on it. This is consistent with the content of the letter of advice he wrote when he tricked Chen Zhen.

Instead of doing this, it's better to be a big favor and give it as a gift.

Who knows whether it will be used or not in the future?

One more friend is not enough, one less enemy is not enough, he may be ungrateful, but if he is afraid of meeting ungrateful people and does not dare to make friends, then it is purely because he is choking.

Seeing that Bai Yunhang was already a little loose, Liu Yu struck while the iron was hot: "But this matter is just an idea. How to do it exactly depends on Master Bai completing it."

Bai Yunhang's thoughts were pulled by Liu Yu. He thought quickly and said quickly: "That's right. Land is good and bad. Good fields are followed by dry fields and water is used to irrigate the fields. How many dingyin should be allocated to each? How many acres of dingyin can be allocated? What kind of family is it good for? What kind of family is it bad for? This needs to be carefully considered, not just an idea."

"For example, a person with five people and 40 acres of land is definitely different from a person with ten people and 40 acres of land. Maybe with eight people and 40 acres of land, the Ding tax and the Ding tax are included in the mu tax. It remains the same; or the rest, it all needs to be carefully considered.”

After shaking his head and thinking about the key point, Bai Yunhang also had a thoughtful look on his face, as if he had forgotten that Liu Yu was sitting next to him.

Bai Yunhang thought to himself that this matter could not go beyond the Jiao Liao Jiedu Envoy. After all, this was his boss. It was a taboo in official circles to bypass his boss by doing anything by himself.

But I was afraid that my superiors would take the credit for this. Although there were risks with such a good opportunity, in fact, as long as the emperor favored me, the risks would be much smaller.

So the best opportunity is exactly this year or next year.

If he does a good job in disaster relief and famine preparedness, the emperor will definitely encourage him personally, and he may also allow himself, the state shepherd, to directly share his experience in disaster relief.

When the time comes, I will take advantage of this opportunity to make a memorial. On the one hand, I want to praise Jiedushi for his good control and command. On the other hand, I am not afraid that the credit will be taken by others. The memorial will definitely go straight to the court, even if it is Jiedushi. Don't dare to hide or tamper with it privately.

Thinking about it again, he is a banner for the forbidden religion. If this banner is raised properly, then there will be a lot of things to do: whoever opposes or slanders, it is likely that those who are thinking about Christianity are grudges about their own teaching projects in Fujian that led to the imperial court banning Christianity, and take the opportunity to slander. ...It's very effective in killing the heart.

The more I think about it, the more I feel that there is great potential in this matter. If I do it well, maybe it will be like what Liu Yu said, like Zhou Zuo and others in the previous dynasty, who rose from the county magistrate to the minister. Since there are precedents, it may not be impossible. This is something I never dared to think about when I was the county magistrate.

After being stunned for a long time, he handed over his hands and apologized: "Mr. Liu Haihan, for a moment he forgot what was going on around him."

Liu Yu smiled indifferently and said: "Master Bai will go back and think about this matter carefully. If you want to do it, take advantage of the opportunity to promote sweet potatoes and do it. If you don't want to do it, then don't do it. This is today's day. The big thing today is that the sweet potatoes, mung beans, carrot seeds, etc. have all arrived. Killing two birds with one stone."

Bai Yunhang was already disturbed by the previous events. When he heard about sweet potatoes, mung beans and other things, he remembered the most important thing before coming today.

I also understand that this is the last step to save the famine. If we do it well, there will be various opportunities and possibilities in the future.

He stood up and gave a big salute to Liu Yu, saying: "I cannot thank you enough for your kindness. In that case, let's do this first."
