Chapter 584 Emancipation

"Zeng Zixuan and Lu Nongshi have invited the county together! Zizhan, you are still amazing!"

Han Zhongyan's slaughter has been almost two years, but he has not had a few days of comfort. Especially after Empress Dowager Xiang's death, he has been bullied by the treacherous party of Xining, led by Zeng Bu. Later, Fan Chunli was also driven out of Kaifeng, and he became the bare commander of Yuanyou Zhong's party in the Political Affairs Hall, and he lived like a year, and was already asking for the county's Daming Mansion.

Unexpectedly, a statement that seemed to have happened by chance was seized by Su Dongpo, and he fought a beautiful turnaround, and he was about to be Xuanma.

As soon as Su Dongpo was Xuanma and Han Zhongyan's life in the court was much better. So today, after learning that Zeng Bu and Lu Dian invited the county at the same time, they quickly handled the government affairs in the Political Affairs Hall, and left early on on the excuse of being unwell and went to the Lihua Villa where Wu Haogu and Su Dongpo lived.

"My husband," Wu Haogu is a relative of Han Zhongyan, so he is more casual when getting along. When he heard that Zeng Bu and Lu Dian left, he asked Su Dongpo, "Who do you think the teacher will replace?"

"It should be Lu Shinong's Right Prime Minister." Han Zhongyan said, "If Ziyou could come back, he could be the Right Prime Minister."

Su Shi's qualifications were actually older than Su Che, but he was unlucky. Because the Wutai poetry case misled the future, his current official position and qualifications were not enough to be the first to be the first.

"The next prime minister will definitely give Cai Yuan a chance!" Wu Haogu frowned slightly.

Cai Jing is not easy to meet!

"Do you think it's Cai Jing?" Han Zhongyan nodded, "He was also recommended by Zeng Bu in his remarks."

Su Dongpo smiled and said, "Cai Yuanchang is not bad, he is a person who does business."

"Cai Yuanchang is really good at doing things," said Han Zhongyan. "Now the only one who can surpass him in the court is probably Chongdao. How about it? Will you take the exam this year and get a Jinshi next year?"

A high school Jinshi is almost the beginning of a lifelong dream for ordinary scholars, but it is really nothing to Wu Haogu.

After the Imperial College was arguing, the status of Wu Haogu's great Confucianism cannot be shaken. The gap in the Confucian worldview was made up by him and Cheng Yi, and it was very perfectly filled with almost no loopholes. Moreover, the "hypothesis" and "practical theory" he proposed were completely in line with Confucius' idea, which was to let Confucius resurrect, and there must be Wu Haogu among the seventy-two sages.

So as long as he takes the exam, even if the article is not that good, Zhao Ji will not cause any controversy if he adds his name to the Jinshi list. Even if he doesn't take the exam, Zhao Ji has reason to give Wu Haogu a Jinshi.

However, Wu Haogu had reasons why he could not become a Jinshi or transfer his literary talent.

"My husband, I can't get a Jinshi exam," Wu Haogu said with a wry smile. "There are still a lot of things in Jiehe Shangshi and Haizhou! The enjoyment of the official family is better than that of previous dynasties. If no one earns millions for him a year, his husband and his teacher will be uneasy."

Su Dongpo frowned, "The flowers used by the official family are very good now?"

Han Zhongyan nodded and said, "The official family is not a king who can practice frugality and lead the world. The previous emperors of this dynasty are incomparable to the use of flowers. However, the official family is willing to delegate power and can use people.

Therefore, Chongdao had room to play. Thanks to his management and raising funds in the past two years, the extra expenses of the government were not taken from the income of the court and the sealed pile warehouse. If Chongdao had not had the ability to manage finances, I would probably not be able to continue to do this! If Chongdao was born at the time of Emperor Shenzong, there would probably be no need for the Xining New Policy."

In the eyes of Han Qi and Han Zhongyan and his son, the so-called "strong army" nonsense in Xining's new policy, will the "Renewal Law" and Ma Zheng be abolished?

These two policies are clearly intended to increase revenue and reduce expenditure, but the Kaifeng Imperial Army and the Hebei Imperial Army were completely abandoned, and Ma Zheng was completely destroyed. Now the Western Army alone has some combat effectiveness, and the imperial guards in other places have become ordinary people.

However, the rich country in Xining's new policy is real. At least tens of millions of people are still stored in the treasury and internal treasury. As long as the government is not extravagant, it can live a life without shortage of spending for many years.

But now, this official family is developing in the direction of luxury no matter how you look at it! The project of repairing Qionglin Garden has now become a major project for building Qionglin Palace. According to Li Jie, who is actually responsible for the project, (his father in his 80s died and continues to be mourning), the official family's final plan may be to expand Qionglin Palace to Qionglin City...

Fortunately, the cost of building Qionglin officials was Wu Haogu, and Pan Xiao'an helped raise it, otherwise the government affairs hall would not have had to worry about death?

Su Dongpo sighed softly: "No one is perfect, and a king is also a human being. A thrifty and diligent king refuses to delegate power, and those who are willing to delegate power are also..."

"Teacher, I can raise the flowers of the government." Wu Haogu said to Su Dongpo with a smile, "One does not disturb the people, and no taxes, let him spend money... The government can spend money with big money, so that we can have a good life as a minister."

"How come you say something like a treacherous minister?" Su Dongpo looked at his student, a little amused and crying.

"How could I be a treacherous minister?" Wu Haogu said seriously, "If the officials did not know the knowledge of the meeting and the blessings of Fu Zhao, how could I have today's glory? And the officials treated me sincerely, how could I not repay me sincerely? Teacher, don't argue with the officials in the future on spending money!"

This involves the principle of "officiality"! In Wu Haogu's opinion, an official family like Song Huizong was a good official family, willing to delegate power, and had a large amount of people. He was very friends. He didn't feel like he was with him as if he was with a tiger. How many such a good official family were there in thousands of years?

And it’s not a problem for him to spend money more... it’s just money!

"If you really have a way to make money, I will naturally not talk much." Su Dongpo looked at the student, "If I become my husband, I will learn from Wang Yuyu to be the husband of the Three Issues."

Wu Haogu smiled: "If the teacher is willing to be a grandfather of the Three Imperials, it will be a blessing for the country. With you and Mr. Han, you will be protected by the Sixth Road in Shaanxi and Hebei, the Mansions of Hedong Road, our Yuntai Academy, Jiehe Shang City and Haizhou Tianya City, you can start safely and steadily."

Now the emperor Zhao Ji must have shared with Wu Haogu's women in the palace wearing pairs of pants. There is no one among the emperors from ancient times to the present. If there are two prime ministers in the Political Affairs Hall as their backers, it will be easy for Wu Haogu to do things.

Su Dongpo felt that Wu Haogu was a bit negative, but he knew that his apprentice was good at making false statements and did not discuss the topic of "Three Issues and Confessions" with him. He also raised the topic: "Now, there is peace in all directions and good weather. There is no more stable life since the founding of this dynasty. However, military and political affairs are abolished, officials cannot do things, and the hidden dangers of military and generals being useless are still there. If you cannot improve it while there is nothing wrong, if something happens in the future, it will be avalanche."

Wu Haogu knew that Su Dongpo wanted to speed up the practical learning. Wu Haogu said: "Teacher, I have been in the ten years of trees and a hundred years of cultivation. Today's people have been raised in more than 160 years of founding the country of this dynasty. It is impossible to change it quickly. The most urgent task at present is to turn "Theory of Heaven and the Theory of Empirical" into obvious learning."

Theory of Heaven and the Theory of Empirical Sciences are basically free of logical loopholes, so the next question is to use them to become the same as the Five Confucian classics. This is no longer important! This is equivalent to a major discussion on the issue of the standard of truth in later generations. This is the prelude to the great change, liberating people's thoughts, breaking the constraints of dogmatism, and clearing ideological obstacles for reform and opening up.

In the late Northern Song Dynasty, the significance of emancipating the mind was also extraordinary. Because Wu Haogu knew that the officials and scholars of the Song Dynasty were actually very dogmatic, which was brainwashed for more than 160 years!

Han Zhongyan asked: "We should do more practical studies like Yuntai Academy, right? I can think of the three studies under the Imperial College to change the path of practical studies."

"This is not achieved overnight," Wu Haogu shook his head, "There are not enough teachers, and the textbooks are not complete. It is a bit difficult to deal with Yuntai Academy and Jiehe Branch. If the steps to reform the Imperial College are too big, I am afraid that if I am not careful, I will teach you a handle.

I think it is better to add the six new courses of "Theory of Heaven and Rules", "Personal Theory", fencing, horse riding, archery and mathematics to the courses of Imperial College. The content of the classics can be reduced by a little. I have all been admitted to Imperial College, so who is not proficient in the Five Classics?

In addition, the Imperial College is not very reasonable. The students of the Imperial College and martial arts will be eliminated in one year after entering the school, which is not necessary. I think it should be based on letting most students complete their three years of academic studies. The number of students should be reduced, and only 300 students will be enrolled each year. And there is no need to divide them into the Imperial College and martial arts, and they will all be classified into the Imperial College and follow the route of "Wuwen and Wushu."

"Isn't this similar to the doctoral degree in Yuntai Academy?" Su Dongpo smiled, "It's good. At least you can ride a horse, shoot archery and fight with blades, which is a bit practical."

Han Zhongyan nodded and said thoughtfully: "If some students from the Imperial College can take the military exam, the officers of the government soldiers will have a solution."

While the three were talking, Wu Haogu's "big secret" Wu Chenglan walked in and handed over a famous post, "Reported to the Kesheng Province, there is a Baifan merchant outside, who also brought several big horses, saying that it was Bai Siwen from the Aladdin Chamber of Commerce. This time he came to Beijing to deliver big food to Kesheng."

"Finally come!" Wu Haogu took over the famous post with a smile.

Su Dongpo asked: "Dalang, do you still like to raise horses? This horse from a big country costs a lot, right?"

"The cost is naturally high, maybe you have to ask for tens of thousands of yuan, right? But this is a stallion," Wu Haogu said with a smile. "The students already have two Persian stallions, and they are raised in Jiehe Market. Now they have big-food horses. I believe they can raise good horses out of Jiehe River.
