Chapter 63 Unhappy Things
When Chen Liang heard Mao Geng say this, he was extremely disappointed at first, and then Mao Geng gave another ten-year period. Only then did Chen Liang turn worries into joy.
Chen Liang had repeatedly talked to Mao Geng about the recovery of the world, but Mao Geng always talked about him and did not accept Chen Liang's words. Today, there was suddenly such a remark, and Chen Liang grabbed Mao Geng and asked impatiently:
"Brother Yisheng, hurry up, tell me Brother Yu, what method do you have to restore the world within ten years? I know that you will never be aimless and you will have your reasons."
Chen Liang was excited and did not notice Mao Geng's foot injury. After he pulled this, Mao Geng staggered and hurriedly supported himself with his hands. Another pain in his hand. Mao Geng frowned and smiled bitterly:
"Brother Tongfu, I almost lost my life by your brilliant idea the day before yesterday. I saw me better today and wanted to harm me again. I said Brother Tongfu, I think you have ulterior motives!"
Chen Liang laughed and said with a sigh:
"Mencius said, 'Therefore, heaven will give great responsibilities to people, they must first suffer their minds and minds, tired their muscles and bones, hungry their bodies, empty their bodies, and act and chaotic what they do. Therefore, they will be moved and endure their nature, and have made things difficult for them.', hardships, you will succeed. Brother Yu is all for you. It is not important for your marriage to become a good person. You are still working hard to help our Yisheng temper our minds and be able to bear the great responsibility of the world in the future."
Chen Liang said this, his expression suddenly became a little sad and sighed:
"Brother Yu has been advocating for recovery for many years, but he was lucky. He has achieved nothing now. Not only Yu, but even Xin Jiaxuan, who is very talented, is now idle in the mountains and fields, and his ambitions are hard to fulfill. Alas! It is also hard to fulfill his ambitions!"
Chen Liang helped Mao Geng walk along the way, sighed all the way, and even recited Xin Jiaxuan's lyrics:
"It's a pity that the years pass by, the trees are sad and stormy. Who is the most beautiful person? Calling the red scarf and green sleeves to wipe the hero's tears!"
Chen Liang is a man of temperament and is usually extremely arrogant, but at this moment he has a vicissitudes of life. Tears are rolling in his eyes. When Mao Geng saw this brother's true feelings, Mao Geng felt something in his heart and was silent for a moment.
There are starry snowflakes floating in the sky, and snowflakes hanging on the water wheels by the river, which are still rotating constantly. The river water rushes out waves and flows into the distance. Looking into the distance, there are few people on the white earth, and the world is desolate.
When the two walked to the riverside, Mao Geng suddenly felt curious and asked:
"I heard that Xin Jiaxuan seemed to have a strange plan to conquer Shandong by sea. What do you think of Brother Tongfu?"
Xin Qiji was a reincarnated man who crossed south from Shandong in his early years. He was familiar with the deployment of the Jin soldiers, so he proposed a combat plan to bluff in three focus directions to be suspicious, and sent surprise troops to capture Shandong on the sea, and then restore lost territory. This combat concept of landing operations directly hitting the enemy's key points is similar to the tactics of landing operations that deviate from the enemy's side in later generations. Xin Qiji was able to propose this genius idea in this era, which made Mao Geng wonder whether Xin Qiji was also a time travel tribe.
When talking about Xin Jiaxuan, Chen Liang immediately showed his fascination. Looking back on the ten days when he talked about wine with Xin Qiji at the end of October, the two of them gave guidance and patted the railings. How passionate they were at that time! It’s a pity that Zhu Xi was missing. Originally, Zhu Xi had agreed to come to meet, but in the end, Zhu Xi broke the appointment for some reason. However, the two of them took advantage of drinking to discuss the world's plans. After they woke up, they could only sigh frequently.
Chen Liang thought of these and said with a wry smile:
"Before I came here, I sat with Xin Jiaxuan for ten days, and nine out of ten days were talking about the major plan of restoration. Of course, I agree with Jiaxuan's maritime offensive strategy. This is the so-called attack on him and unexpectedly. If Jiaxuan could have adopted this strategy at that time, or had already recovered his hometown. However, Jiaxuan's strange plan has been leaked, and the Jin soldiers have been prepared for a long time. Jiaxuan no longer values this strategy. What Jiaxuan now values is that the Song Dynasty must train elite soldiers and generals to raise troops to fight the north. Jiaxuan came to train the "Flying Tiger Army" in Changsha. Although there were only 2,500 people, it was definitely the elite soldiers of the Song Dynasty. It was just that the affairs of the Song Dynasty were very restricted. Alas! With Emperor Gaozong, the pro-war faction could not gain the upper hand. Jiaxuan finally put on the air of the "Flying Tiger Army" and the court transferred him to Jiangxi."
After hearing Chen Liang's explanation, Mao Geng thought that Chen Liang had just said that he could kill all the Jin soldiers with the steel magic weapon. It turned out that he was pretending to be crazy and stupid. Chen Liang and Xin Qiji had a strong relationship, and they actually understood the military tactics. However, it was just that Xin Jiaxuan seemed to Mao Geng suddenly had a strange thought in his heart, thinking that Xin Qiji was very suspected to be a time traveling clan, so he asked:
"Wait, wait, Brother Tongfu, do you mean that Xin Jiaxuan strongly advocates training elite soldiers, as if the Flying Tiger Army is very serious about military discipline. Also, I remember you said that he is very good at doing business and making money, and has money to support friends from all walks of life, right?"
"good!"
"That's how it works!"
Asked again:
"I heard that Xin Jiaxuan wiped out illegal tea merchants, guarded the key points of traffic, laid a net of heaven and earth, controlled the bandits' traversal, and used a trick to attack the hearts to shake the bandits' morale and suppress the tea bandits in one fell swoop, right?"
Mao Geng previously studied the case of Xin Qiji's elimination of Lai Wenzheng's tea merchant army because of Qujiadong's smuggling tea leaves, and found that there were many outstanding features.
"No, what?" Chen Liang saw Mao Geng suddenly ask about these things, and it seemed that he was off topic, so he really didn't understand.
"Oh, I just thought, Xin Qiji is really a hero!"
Although Mao Geng said this, he was thinking about the suspected time travel tribe. Of course, he could not say anything about time travel to Chen Liang, but Xin Qiji's performance was really suspicious of the time travel tribe. Generally speaking, the time travel tribe has the following characteristics: one is to copy poetry, two is to be good at doing business, and three is to steal later generations' technologies, tactics, policies and solutions, etc. Xin Qiji seems to be able to take a look at all of this.
Assuming that Xin Qiji is a time traveling clan, considering that Xin Qiji did not bring new technology to the Song Dynasty, it is conceivable that his previous life should be a liberal arts student. Could it be that after Wang Guowei, a master of Chinese studies who wrote "Human Cihua", jumped into the water, his soul traveled to Xin Qiji!
Since he was familiar with Mr. Jiang's tricks to deal with the Red Army's "three-point military and seven-point political", he also understood Zeng Guofan's method of dealing with the Taiping Army, understood Okamura's "iron wall siege" cage tactics, and understood landing operations, he must have traveled through time after World War II! So it must not be Wang Guowei who committed suicide by jumping into the water in 1927. Well, no matter who he was, the foundation of Chinese studies is quite good. In addition, the liberal arts students trained after the New China also had basic scientific knowledge and minimum scientific and technological literacy. In this regard, Xin Qiji's predecessor should be a liberal arts student in the Republic of China period, and he studied Chinese studies carefully, which is roughly the case.
This assumption makes sense. This man has an amazing memory and can actually recite 600 poems. So after traveling to the Song Dynasty, Xin Qiji "created" these poems one by one. Secondly, he learned from the Japanese landing in Hangzhou Bay and the landing in Normandy in World War II, and naturally he could offer the strange plan of landing in Shanghai. As for the elimination of illegal tea merchants, it was a variant strategy created by combining "three parts military, seven parts politics" and "iron wall siege". In addition, he also understood the way to win the elite army, emphasized discipline, and said that he was basically the principle of building a military in modern army. In the end, time travelers would have achieved great success in the commercial field without exception. Xin Qiji was obviously the same. Just by being able to help his friends at one time, it can be seen. You see, this is not surprising. All of these are clearly only time travelers can do!
But this man has a sense of arrogance, cynical love, and lacks emotional intelligence. However, these are the characteristics of intellectuals in the Republic of China period. This is the so-called "traditional changes are easy to change and their nature is difficult to change, but it is a good ending to be able to become a provincial and ministerial-level leader in the end.
Mao Geng was full of thoughts and was a little dazed for a moment. Chen Liang thought that Mao Geng worshipped Xin Qiji and worshipped him to the point of being distracted. "Xin fans"! There are still many "Xin fans" these days, so Chen Liang didn't find it strange, and promised:
"If Brother Yi Sheng wants to meet Xin Jiaxuan, it is not difficult. With the friendship between Brother Yu and Jiaxuan, I will introduce you to you, it is just a trivial matter. Maybe Jia Xuan will appreciate Brother Yi Sheng when he sees Brother Yi Sheng. Don't worry! This matter is covered by Brother Yu."
Mao Gengxin said it was OK, and Xin Jiaxuan must sign a name for himself at that time. But then he felt that it was not necessary that he had just distracted his mind, so he said:
"Thank you for this first! Oh, where did Brother Tongfu just talk about it? It seems that Xin Jiaxuan is also subject to scrupulousness and it is difficult to show his talents!"
When Chen Liang heard this, he couldn't help but complain again:
"Jiaxuan thought that it was because Emperor Gaozong was still alive. It is rumored that Emperor Gaozong farted, and the current officials would not violate it. Emperor Gaozong suffered from the "gold-phobia" and tried every means to obstruct the Northern Expedition. With him, the pro-war faction would not gain the upper hand. Jiaxuan and I thought that after Emperor Gaozong passed away last year, the current officials would be able to work hard and reorganize the Northern Expedition again. Who knew! The official actually used the excuse of being mourned for Emperor Gaozong for three years and kept silent about the Northern Expedition. It is said that he was preparing to abdicate the crown prince. The official family had no ambitions and wanted to restore the Central Plains, but I was afraid that the crown prince would be counted on."
Chen Liang was naturally extremely dissatisfied with Emperor Gaozong who was single-minded and complained to Emperor Xiaozong, so Mao Geng was reluctant to talk about political affairs with Chen Liang. In Mao Geng's view, Chen Liang's passion was nothing more than arrogance and paranoidness.
In fact, Emperor Xiaozong was a promising lord in the entire Song Dynasty. In order to avoid the pursuit of Jin soldiers, Emperor Gaozong fled several times. It is said that he lost his fertility. Emperor Gaozong had no descendants and had no choice but to choose his adopted son to ascend the throne among the children of the royal family. Emperor Xiaozong finally won with all the best results and successfully competed for employment. He was able to win the highest level of PK. It is conceivable that both intelligence and ethics were a temporary choice. Emperor Xiaozong was capable, ambitious, and very diligent, but his luck was a little bad. It was difficult for him to make the mess he handed over to be like this now. The country was prosperous and the people were safe.
In addition to learning from Gaozong's lessons, Xiaozong also has great achievements in power and skills. He pays great attention to preventing the situation where the ministers are too big, and the frequency of changing prime ministers is a model of the Song Dynasty. Wang Huai, who has been prime minister for nearly seven years, has to hand over the other ones only in two or three years. Xiaozong also has another characteristic. Choosing prime ministers is always one left and one right. The left is the same as the left, the right prime minister must be right, the left is the right, and the right prime minister must be left. In fact, Xiaozong did this. He chose a left prime minister who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the other. Anyway, the left and the other is not in harmony, the emperor will be able to lead. Therefore, the Northern Expedition of Xiaozong's dynas
Mao Geng said in his heart, what if he could count on the prince! But it would not hurt Chen Liang's enthusiasm, so he comforted him:
"Brother Tongfu, I have a saying, don't be surprised when you say it. This sentence is called 'Empty talk will ruin the country, and hard work will make the country prosperous'. It is better for us to do more practical things, such as making steel knives that cut iron like mud today, and doing another thing tomorrow. Over time, my Song Dynasty will become stronger. In this way, you don't even need to rely too much on the official family. What do you think Brother Tongfu thinks?"
Chen Liang saw all the magical things about Mao Geng, and agreed with them quite a bit, so he smiled and said:
"Look, Brother Yu is not following you now and doing it!"
Of course, Chen Liang was embarrassed to say that he had mentioned to Xin Qiji that he wanted to run a newspaper. After all, Xin Qiji was much more politically mature and knew that Chen Liang would cause trouble at any time with his mouth and pen. So although the two had a good conversation, they would not let go of Chen Liang's newspaper. Otherwise, with Xin Qiji's financial resources, it would be a trivial matter to support Chen Liang in running a magazine.
Just as the two of them were feeling relaxed, Wenyuan and Zhang Haisan ran over, and Zhang Haisan shouted loudly from a distance:
"So you are by the river! There is bad news."
Mao Geng thought that there would be bad news at this moment. It seemed that there would be good news every day. Let’s talk about glass. The day before yesterday, I sent a sample of glass from the Youxi base. Although the transparency is far inferior and the surface is rough, in time, these problems will eventually be solved, and Mao Geng is not worried at all.
Wen Yuan immediately talked about the whole story, and it turned out that there was great resistance to the charges for Zishui Shui Wheel Winch.
The hydraulic winch here in Hongniwan is free for ships this month, but after this month, it will be charged. In Xinhua, because the shipping profits are very high today, the ship owners think it is worth paying for the ship to be destroyed and killed. However, the situation of the ship owners in Xinhua and Anhua is different, especially in the upstream Shaozhou, the shipping income is limited. If you want to spend this extra extra expense, you may not be able to account for it. Therefore, there are many questions, and the stubborn ship owners are firmly opposed to the charging.
But some official figures who didn't like Xu County Magistrate began to make a big fuss about this matter. Now there are rumors that Xu County Magistrate accepted bribes, and Xu County Magistrate competed for profit with the people - saying that he was obsessed with political achievements and did not care about the lives of the people, and so on.
Therefore, the charging regulations that were originally very simple to be decided by Shaozhou, but due to rumors, they need to be reported one by one, which became a major event that must be decided by the court. In this way, the construction of the water wheel winch project had to be temporarily suppressed, and I don’t know if the charging matter can be passed.
Chapter completed!
