I wish all book friends a better time in the New Year.

I wish the 200,000 compatriots in the southwest to stay away from poverty, oppression and war in the New Year.

…………

Wang Ju frowned.

Don’t look at Fan Chunren’s problem, it’s quite similar to building an aircraft carrier, which is worse than raising hens, but it really has a market in the Song Dynasty today.

There is also Fan Chunren's character. Wang Ju does not want to get along with evil. This non-communication has nothing to do with the non-communication of power and tricks. The latter is a temporary act of avoiding enemies. This non-communication is almost from the deepest part of Wang Ju's heart.

With this kind of thinking, it will be even more difficult to refute.

So Wang Ju thought for a while before asking, "Mr. Fan, what is a gentleman?"

Zhang Zai was not far away, his official position was lower than that of Wang Ju. He sat down at the bottom. When he heard this, Zhan Mei smiled.

What is a gentleman? When Wang Ju became a disciple, Zhang Zai made it very clear that a gentleman is gentle and gentle like jade. Not only Zhang Zai, but Zhang Zai's younger brother Zhang Jian also has this kind of thought.

{No +quled

According to this standard, that person is a gentleman, not Fan Zhongyan, but Li Han, Du Yan, Zhang Zhibai, Zhang Zai, Fu Bi and Fan Chunren can only barely be considered half a gentleman.

But this kind of gentleman is definitely not the gentleman in Sima Guang's eyes, nor is it the gentleman in Fan Chunren's eyes. Fan Chunren had never thought about it. Wang Ju asked, and he thought about it and replied: "Public is greater than private, and virtue is better than personal, and virtue is better than virtue is called a gentleman. Private is greater than public, and talent is better than virtue is called a villain."

The gentleman in Sima Guang's eyes is not the gentleman in Fan Chunren's eyes at all. If virtue is greater than talent, it is a gentleman. The court must use these people as officials. So is it true that as long as there is morality and ethics, even if talent is like Emperor Hui of Jin, it is also a gentleman. Should it be used seriously?

Besides, what is morality?

Fan Chunren is not stupid either. In his heart, public is more than private, it is a gentleman, and private is more than public is a villain, which is similar to his father's idea. But after saying this, Wang Ju is not a great gentleman, so he added Sima Guang's theory of gentlemanship.

"Mr. Fan, are you a gentleman?"

A gentleman deceives him with a way!

So Sima Guang. Wang Ju would not ask stupidly, he could find ten reasons to prove that he was a villain.

But Fan Chunren can ask.

In Fan Chunren's eyes, Wang Ju must be the kind of person who is more talent than virtue, but he is also a person who is more public than private. At least the illusion he is doing now seems to be that public is more than private.

"You can't be considered a villain, but you are not considered a gentleman."

"The role model I learned was Duke Lu Yijian, so I decided not to be a gentleman. Thank you for your fair evaluation."

Lu Gongzhu, the brothers Lu Gongbi were making muffled in the distance. Wang Ju kept talking about their father and also disgusted them...

"But Mr. Fan Wenzheng was worried about the world first. After the world was happy, he also made his subordinates highly respected. Two years ago, I was in Huachi County. I needed a general to lead a cavalry to attract the attention of the people of Xixia. This trip was mostly gone without going back. Hu Qian said, I would like to go. Whether it was Mr. Fan Wenzheng or Hu Qian, the subordinates could not learn it. Really, the subordinates had a dream. We have worked together to prevent the Song Dynasty from being bullied by the Hu barbarians, and no longer had to buy peace every year, and the border was stable. The subordinates had always had a dream, so that everyone in the Song Dynasty would be fed and furnished. Whether the peddlers or the poor people, they would have warm clothes and quilts and enough food. For this beautiful era, the subordinates would like to go!"

Wang Ju is mostly middle-level officials.

Wang Ju's voice was not loud, but when he spoke out the last sentence, all the officials around him remained silent, and some young officials' eyes flashed with admiration.

A seriousness finally appeared on Fan Chunren's face.

After all, Wang Ju said this in front of everyone, which means that there are so many powerful witnesses. If Wang Ju can't do it in the future, he will be ridiculed by the people of the world.

This is equivalent to a very solemn declaration and oath.

So is Wang Juzhen as unbearable as Sima Guang said?

"Mr. Fan, maybe in order to achieve this goal, I will use some methods that no one can accept. It doesn't matter. I am willing to go, no matter whether you regard me as a gentleman or a villain!"

Zhang Jian whispered from behind: "Brother, you have received it."

"Don't praise him, this kid sometimes makes me feel a headache," Zhang Zai's eyes were full of proud eyes. In fact, what Wang Ju has done in recent years has far exceeded Zhang Zai's expectations for Wang Ju.

"So Mr. Fan, please believe me. Then let me talk about two more questions. First, your father, Mr. Fan Wenzheng, set up a fortress in the northwest. Therefore, the court got the plan. After the peace talks between Song and Xia, it was not that Xixia did not violate the border, but that it was many times. However, the fortresses on the front line existed, which stuck the throats of various roads. Xixia did not dare to go deep into the army. Why, once the army went deep into the army, first of all, food transportation was a difficult problem. In the Battle of Dashun City, Mr. Cai and Xiaguan were lucky to win a great victory, which was related to this article."

"Fan Wenzheng Fortress Tactics is conducive to border defense, but Fan Gong, have you ever thought about the national finances being corrupt and the fortress tactics playing a role? Every time a fortress is built, the country has to increase a large number of bans. The loss of food, equipment, and how much more the country spends every year? But why no one objected, on the contrary, front-line officials, especially those who have achieved success, are still expanding fortress one after another?"

"The court's border strategy is mainly based on prevention and counterattack, which means that the military and civilians on the border of our dynasty can only be beaten and have no right to take the initiative to beat people. Well, just like the households of our dynasty, Xixia and Liao Kingdom, even Jiaozhi, are both the main households, while our dynasty is a tenant. The main households and tenants get along with each other, and no matter how the tenants fight, they are at a disadvantage. This passive beating situation forces the front officials to continuously strengthen their defense. As a result, the imperial court spent more than 20 million and more than 30 million in Shaanxi every year!"

Fan Chunren inherited Fan Zhongyan's moral integrity, but neither political nor military, it was far inferior to Fan Zhongyan.

Therefore, I believe that his words come from the heart, but because his knowledge cannot keep up, I blamed Wang Ju today.

Wang Ju said that when a strong army is strong, it will cost money. For example, the armor must keep up, and the inferior armor must be eliminated and replaced.

This is one of them. The second is that the soldiers who serve as soldiers have misunderstandings, and they reopen the border. As the war breaks out, the country's finances are even more tense, and the people are in a sea of ​​suffering again.

The idea is also good, but was the Qingli War really fought that way? Did it really cost so much? Was the situation different from the current situation?

Fan Chunren had never thought about this, or he could not think about it. He couldn't figure it out.

So Wang Ju used Fan Zhongyan to deal with Fan Chunren. The court used your fortress tactics. But have you ever thought about how much your fortress tactics cost? Don’t make a mistake, it’s not the cost of building a fortress, but how much will it increase if a large number of troops are stationed in a year!

But have you done something wrong? Nothing wrong, this is also forced.

How much will the military weapon surveillance increase in the cost of the increased cost of the increase in the tactics of the fortress in the future? You have built ten aircraft carriers, aren’t you allowed me to build a frigate?

"The second article: Strengthening the military and preparing for war does not mean starting a war. In the northwest, Duke Fan Wenzheng built a fortress, reorganized military weapons, trained soldiers, and organized Fan cavalry. Even Duke Cai and his subordinates enjoyed the favor of Duke Fan Wenzheng Yu Ze in Qingzhou, especially the old Fan general Zhao Ming. However, Fan Wenzheng could have presided over a large-scale battle in his life, or actively invaded Xixia? Even if a military weapon supervisor was established, it would be a loophole in the production and storage of weapons and armor. At least it could not be like now. Half of the weapons and armor handed over to the soldiers were unqualified! On this basis, if the country had a wealthy economy, it could produce new armor weapons in large quantities, or recall some unqualified armor and replacing them. If the economy was not rich, then the production of weapons and armor would not be expanded. Compared with what Fan Gongzheng did in the northwest, what did it have to do with military generals?"

It’s better to use Fan Zhongyan to deal with Fan Chunren.

After resolving his doubts, Wang Ju sat down.

You can't underestimate Fan Chunren either.

Maybe Zhao Xu and Wang Anshi want to use Fu Bi as a shield.

However, Fu Bi was not so stupid. After saying a few words and sending a signal, he became "ill" at home. Fan Chunren said: "Fu Bi was favored by his family for three dynasties. He should put the world first. However, wealthy and polite themselves to be more polite, and worry about their illnesses to be more jealous of the country. He caused his master to be in his life. Both of them were lost. Fu Bi and me were originally kind, but I was in the Censorate, so I dare not pay private visits to Fu Bi, and advised him in person. I asked Your Majesty to hand this memorial to Fu Bi for his reflection."

Don't make a mistake, you are the real prime minister. Did you sit and watch Wang Anshi come and say a few words without any pain?

If you are really sick, please go home. Dongfu is not a nursing home.

If you are not sick, please take the government affairs and don’t sit and watch Wang Anshi come!

After Fu Bi received the news, he had to resign in pain again.

Didn’t Wang Anshi say that Yao, Shun, Yu, Tang and Wen, King Wu? Fan Chunren wrote an article "Explanation of the Shangshu" to show you how others govern the country!

In fact, everyone is fooling around. Sima Guang and others said that the ancient times were too far and high, and we could not learn it, so we could only practice the Han, Tang and Han dynasty. However, they were not the Han and Tang dynasties. Even the methods of Wen and Jingshi were not. The two emperors of Han and Wen and Jing really were turtles, which would be wrong. They were the real people who kept their talents and the second ancestors of the Celestial Empire!

Wang Anshi said that the ancient methods were not the ancient methods, but they were not the normal methods of the Han and Tang dynasties. In fact, it was Sang Hongyang and Yang Yan's way of governing the country!

Therefore, Fan Chunren wrote a letter saying that Yao and Shun were not playing like this. If you don’t save your talents, you will want to seek immediate achievements and forget your old learning. If you abandon Yao, Shun knew the way of people to calm the people, and talked about the five hegemons and the country to strengthen the army. If you respect laws and regulations, you will be called Shang Yang, and if you talk about wealth and profit, you will be against Mencius.

Are Shang Yang and Sang Hongyang really treacherous officials?

However, Wang Anshi was indeed fooling him. Then he said that Zeng Gongliang would not retreat when he was old and had lost his integrity. He wanted Anshi to be with the same side as he wanted to be in harmony. In the past, he was good at grammar, and now he would follow everything. This statement forced Zeng Gongliang to retreat.

He also said that Zhao Yan knew the mistakes, but he could not distinguish the words of An Shi, and he was unable to save everything. He heard that there were some words from Tui, and forced Zhao Yan away soon.

Although he was dismissed from the Tongzhi Jianyuan, he successfully killed the three prime ministers, which was amazing!

However, Wang Ju's resolving doubts made Fan Chunren speechless.

If you want to defeat me, you will defeat your father first.

"Then why did you insult Cheng Bochun?"

"Mr. Fan, first of all, I talk about the rules. It seems that the court is not a place to discuss the government affairs. So why did the Duke break this rule? Mr. Jiefu's reform is definitely good, so don't doubt it. However, I have not figured out some of the reform methods of Jiefu, so I will not agree immediately. Su Che also wants the country to become better and let the Song Dynasty usher in the beautiful era mentioned by the Xiaguan. Therefore, even though he was demoted to Luoyang due to opposition, the Xiaguan still went to see him off. Lu Huiqing agreed with the reform, and his intention was good, so the Xiaguan still had a good relationship with him. How to govern the country, there are a thousand ways in the eyes of a thousand people. You are not a saint, and I am not a saint. You cannot defeat them because others think differently from yourself. That is not a saint, but a demon and a ghost. Because even the official family cannot do this!"

"What is a gentleman? When I became a disciple, my teacher deliberately said, "A gentleman is gentle and gentle like jade. Therefore, when we have been around in ancient and modern times, we often call him a gentleman like jade. Or the gentle, kind, respectful, frugal and humble as Confucianism calls it. Referring to this standard, how many gentlemen can there be in our dynasty? However, so many gentlemen... Fan Gong, can a gentleman give himself a title? These people are also gentlemen, but 90% of them must add a word in the first place, which is false!"

"Mr. Fan, what I am loyal to is the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, the Shesu of the Song Dynasty, not the loyal Sima Junshi, or you, or Lu Gong. I love the people of the Song Dynasty, but the few powerful people and their families. What I want to do is to build that beautiful era for the Song Dynasty, not the poor who are poor, the rich who are rich, and the country is poor and weak!"

"Mr. Fan, you take your father as an example, that's too high, I can't learn it. But since Mr. Fan takes your father as an example, is he a powerful person? He has no position and only listens to others' instigation? As for some people who use this reform and unchanging moment to take advantage of the situation, bewitch the upper and lower levels, and use it to exchange for wealth and honor, sorry, let's do one and throw another one! Mr. Fan, these are all idiot-like questions, and I don't want to dispel you any more!" (To be continued...)
