Song Beiyun

"It's not my plan, it's just that I happened to be in the middle of the game." Song Beiyun pointed to himself: "I, a pig on the cusp of the storm. Even if I don't do anything, I will skyrocket to [-] miles."

"Then tell me, what would I be without you?"

Song Beiyun thought about it, and roughly told Yan Shu about his possibility.As a prime minister, he must be able to be a prime minister, but he is a professional literati prime minister, especially graceful and unrestrained, able to eat and sleep, and each of his disciples is amazing.Before he died, Da Song was actually okay, but not long after he died, Da Song became cold.

"That's right...the Liao Kingdom, the Jin Kingdom, and the Grassland, all of them are like wolves and tigers." Yan Shu shook his head and said, "If it weren't for a series of reforms, we might not even be able to defeat Xixia. The Song Dynasty has no horses. Fuck Shi Jingtang."

"Hahaha, Shi Jingtang can be considered a capable person if he can make Yan Dacai swear."

Yan Shu rested his head under his head and looked at the bright moon in the sky: "I hope that in my lifetime, I can see the Song Dynasty rule the Central Plains and deter the world."

"No, no, no." Song Beiyun waved his hands, and took out a bottle of wine from the cabinet: "What I hope is to make this land full of vitality. I don't know what the future holds, at least we don't have any regrets in our hands. After a hundred years and a thousand years , so that an elegant and easy-going but strong and robust country still stands on this land, every year is its strongest year."

Yan Shu poured the wine: "Come, let's toast this country."

Chapter 680: Sunny September 4, Six Years

"The reason why a national policy is a national policy involves a discussion about the future. The formulation of a national policy must have a good impact on future generations. What the enemy opposes is what we must insist on. The gentry opposes the state-owned land, and we will If we want to implement the state ownership of the land to the end, and the gentry oppose the reform of education fairness, then we must implement education.”

Song Beiyun was knocking on the blackboard. This was a serious way to knock on the blackboard, because he now knew Yan Shu's shortcomings, and Yan Shu was indeed very good at handling interpersonal relationships. Erbajing's political policy is a bit dark.

Reform is not about treating guests to dinner or reciting poems and composing odes. That means tens of thousands of people are sacrificed every now and then. The blind feel the elephant?In the end, Wang Anshi's policy of keeping his feet off the ground will be found out, with the ideal full score and zero score in practice.

"Afterwards, what is the basic national policy for the past few years? Do you remember?"

"Poverty alleviation, self-reliance, accumulation of grain and production."

Yan Shu nodded and said, "I still understand that."

"Well, let's use poverty alleviation as an example. You have a great responsibility in this. To get rid of poverty, you must get rid of illiteracy first. This is a long-term work. The first step in a journey of thousands of miles is to eliminate illiteracy, reduce the illiteracy rate at the bottom, and make them literate. The second part is to make education compulsory, is this concept easy to understand?"

"Yes." Yan Shu nodded, "If you don't study, you will break the law."

"Yes." Song Beiyun nodded and said, "Then there is a lot of work to be done between the first and second steps. The first is to increase production capacity. This work is mine. In other words, it is to use more advanced tools to replace green The second is to get rid of heavy agricultural taxes, streamline exorbitant and miscellaneous taxes, so that the most grassroots people can have more disposable money and energy. After these two things are basically achieved, they can gradually start. And literacy is all national policies Without a more advanced social labor force, there is no way to complete the transformation of the social stage."

While he was giving a lecture, someone outside suddenly came in to report and handed Yan Shu a letter. Yan Shu opened it, took a look, and handed the letter to Song Beiyun.

After reading the letter, Song Beiyun tilted his head and looked at it for a while, then laughed out loud: "The aristocratic family is really particular about their affairs."

"Well, quite particular."

It turned out that the content of this letter was to invite Song Beiyun to a banquet in the second most famous garden in Jiangcheng.

Why not go to the first famous one?Because the most famous one is the Yellow Crane Tower, where Yan Shu was stabbed, and where did he entertain Song Beiyun?What do these mean?

And this time, the people they came here were not only the branches of their Feng family, but also some big families from Ezhou, and even Changsha next door. All here.

But is there any danger?In fact, Song Beiyun didn't dare to guarantee that he would do anything when he was in a hurry, and sometimes he didn't think about the consequences at all, but he had to step forward even if it was dangerous, because this time was the last stage of the struggle between all parties, and no one could take it Living is equal to whoever wants to make concessions.

Then it will be almost impossible to carry out reforms in other places afterwards, and the big households all over the world have stretched their necks and waited.

"Go?"

"Of course I'm going, not only I'm going, you're going too." Song Beiyun put the letter on the table: "Get ready and go to the banquet tomorrow."

"Can't I go?"

"That won't work. If they ambush the swordsmen, I can't go alone on the road." Song Beiyun said as a matter of course: "You clean up honestly."

Yan Shu let out a long sigh, feeling helpless in his heart.

In fact, Song Beiyun's worries were not unreasonable. The gentry gathered at Feng's house today, and Feng Hui was presiding over the discussion of corresponding countermeasures.

"It's better to think of a way to get rid of this son, it will be a hundred."

This opinion was echoed by many people, but Feng Hui just sneered. These people really don't hear anything out of the window. If Song Beiyun is so easy to get rid of, and so many people in the world want his life, how can he still live to this day? ?

Don't say anything about the assassination as in the Yellow Crane Tower. Feng Hui has no doubt that there are spies watching outside Feng's mansion even at this moment. How many people came and how long did they talk? It will reach Song Beiyun's ears.

Just these few people still trying to assassinate such a young and famous national soldier?Don't weigh your own weight.

"There is no need to say such words. If it can be eliminated, how can that person live to this day?"

After all, there are sensible people in the world, and before Feng Hui could open his mouth, someone took over, with a playful tone.

"How do you destroy your own prestige and grow others' ambition?"

"Then you do what you want, I want to see what happens to your branch of the Gan family in Xianyang."

But the man laughed: "I'm afraid you were scared out of your wits by people in Xiangyang."

"Hey." The rich family in Xiangyang slapped the table: "It's not shameful, since as the head of the family, you must put the overall situation first."

This rich family in Xiangyang saw with their own eyes that Song Beiyun destroyed Xiangyang in one day, and then killed the whole family of Xiangyang governor and his party members outside the city. Even now, the tablet of exterminating evil spirits outside the city is still standing there to suppress hundreds of resentful souls.

He is not afraid?How could he not be afraid?Who is not afraid of those who have seen Song Beiyun's ability?Let's see if there are any giants from Jiangcheng present today?Not to mention those wealthy families who are famous all over the world, even some nouveau riche who they look down on dare not come.

Whoever is not afraid, let him go against that evil star Song Beiyun, anyway, in the end, it will be nothing more than a matter of copying and beheading.

"That's enough." Feng Hui gently raised his hand: "They are all very old, and they argue like children, so they are not afraid of being laughed at."

The power of the thousand-year-old nobleman is great, he immediately fell silent when he raised his hand, and everyone looked in his direction, as if he was the only one to see.

"Old Feng, what do you mean?"

Feng Hui didn't answer directly, but just put his hands on the head of the crutch: "Song Beiyun is acting strangely and cruelly. You have all seen what happened in Jiangcheng. In addition, he has a heavy army in his hand. Fighting against it is like hitting a stone with an egg. The day before yesterday, he When I came to test this old man, I already knew what I mean, if I don't cooperate with the imperial court, he will definitely not tolerate me waiting."

"Old Feng, you have to think clearly, if you lose your land..."

How could Feng Hui not understand the meaning, he hardly slept these two days, thought of all ways to fight, but found that in the end it was of no avail, either change the dynasty now, or rebel.But now that the imperial court is stable, the emperor is surrounded by his confidant guards, and idlers are not allowed to get close. It is extremely difficult to let the emperor die suddenly.

And the rebellion is even more fuel for people. As for those whose family background is really not enough for the imperial army to fight, the Great Song Dynasty is no longer the Great Song Dynasty it used to be, and it is impossible to cause chaos.

The current situation is already very clear.Rebellion, the fields and property cannot be kept, and people are gone.Surrendering may hurt muscles and bones, but the person is saved, and the family is also saved.There is no doubt that a lean camel is bigger than a horse, so they know exactly which way to choose.

In the future, it will be a big deal to start again, and it will not be cut off as a warning to others.

"I have posted a post to invite people from the imperial court to a banquet tomorrow, so please don't say anything strange." Feng Hui said in a deep voice, "They just experienced an assassination this time, if you say something disrespectful His threats are taken seriously, do you think Song Beiyun dares to kill you?"

No one dared to refute, those harsh words in the past are all in a panic now, encouraging others to do the same thing, but when they put it on themselves, they didn't say a word.

Of course I dare!Who is that?That's Song Beiyun. Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, he has never seen such a person. Who would dare to come here with blood on the way?

They had guarded against Song Beiyun a long time ago, but no matter how they slandered him, Song Beiyun's prestige among the people was getting higher and higher. If it continues, they can only spread rumors that he is going to rebel, but who will believe him?The people don't believe it, the officials don't believe it, what kind of climate can be achieved with just a few people who shake their lips and talk?

The point is that they didn't want to separate the official family and Song Beiyun once or twice, but who knows what's going on with these two people.

And Song Beiyun, who was supposed to be punished, can now appear here. Doesn't it explain a lot of problems?Is it possible to tell the world that the officials released Song Beiyun in private?

What a joke, that is to tear your face openly, without even a chance to heal, and no one who can be a powerful party is not good at brains.

And as long as they dare to tear their faces, Song Beiyun will immediately pounce on them and suck up their flesh and blood. In the end, is it possible that they still count on these trash around them to rescue them?

There is only self-help in this matter, and since the Feng family is willing to build a bridge, it is not a bad thing to try to get in touch.

"I heard that Song Beiyun is greedy for money and lustful. Which one of you has a beautiful daughter? If you don't show it now, when will you wait?"

There was a joke on the side, and this joke was obviously inappropriate. Now that you offer up your daughter, doesn't that mean telling everyone that you are going to have sex with Song Beiyun?Isn't that a traitor?

But who would have thought that on this night, several families would meet outside Yan Shu's residence in Jiangcheng.

However, the thick-faced and dark-hearted of this group of people is unimaginable. It should be an extremely embarrassing scene, but they waited at the door as if they didn't see each other.

Since they came to visit, they naturally couldn't leave their hands empty-handed. Some were carrying high-quality supplements and some were carrying some snacks. They all seemed to be very frivolous gifts.

"Hey, isn't this someone from the Xia family? Why does your saury look so heavy? It looks like it's made of gold when you hold it in your hand."

"Haha, Brother Liu laughed at me. This is a fresh saury. I am not like Brother Liu, but the food box in my hand can't be lifted in one hand."

"I can't help it, I'm getting old and I have no strength."

The two looked at each other and smiled, but said nothing more.And at this moment, another family sneaked in. When they saw this person, both the representatives of the Xia family and the Liu family were astonished, because the person who came was the one who vowed to kill Song Beiyun during the day. The grandson family.

Although he was empty-handed, there was a slim woman standing beside him, only fifteen or sixteen years old, her small face was no bigger than a palm, and the skin on her face was as tender and smooth as the freshly brewed tofu under the moonlight. What a rare little beauty.

"Brother Sun, this is?"

"I have some connections with Mr. Yan Shuyan's family, so I happened to bring my little girl to visit Mr. Yan."

"It should be."

Everyone tacitly said haha, after all, the people who can stand here at night should have a purpose, after all, they didn't come here to enjoy the cool breeze.

After a while, someone led them in. Naturally, these people couldn't see Song Beiyun, but it was the same when they saw Yan Shu.

The three parties were flattering in front of the hall, saying that Yan Shu said that there is no earth in the sky, and after presenting gifts, they all swore that they supported the reform of the imperial court from the bottom of their hearts.

This is flattering, and the other end still doesn't forget to step on those families who have never been in harmony, anyway, it's how it sounds, and I can't wait to toss that yesterday's companion to death.

What's even more ridiculous is that the impromptu combination of these three companies seems to have been rehearsed for a long time. After you sing, I will appear on the stage. The tacit cooperation is amazing, and the villain's posture is jaw-dropping.

"By the way, Master Yan. You have worked hard on official business during this trip, but you have never had a good look at the scenery of Jianghan, and you have encountered such things in the past few days. The grassroots don't know what to give, so the Yangtze River saury will be kept. Let Lord Yan try something new."

As soon as this was finished, the other one also put down the food box: "Master Yan, you have worked so hard for the country and the people, and the rebellious party took the opportunity to make trouble. It must be too tired. There are some refreshing decoctions that you use yourself. , I hope Master Yan will taste it."

And the one who brought his daughter was even worse. He directly asked his daughter to worship Yan Shu as a godfather, and Yan Shu couldn't stop him.

"Master Yan, my grandfather was studying in Jiangxi with your father back then, so you should be my elder, so you don't have to refuse." Then he turned his head and said to Yan Shu, "Nan'er, these days you don't want to give up." Stay here to take care of your godfather, he is not in good health, but you should be more considerate."

Yan Shu frowned: "Are you trying to kill me?"

The complexion of that surnamed Sun changed drastically, and he quickly stood up and bowed: "Uncle Shi, calm down...nephew is also kind."

To be honest, the books of sages and sages that Yan Shu had read were all people with lofty aspirations and arrogance. Today, after all, he saw those people who Song Beiyun said were inferior to pigs and dogs, and he was truly amazed...

"If Uncle Shi doesn't want to, then my nephew will visit again tomorrow."

After finally dismissing the group of people, Yan Shu sat in front of the hall and laughed dumbly, while Song Beiyun came out from behind the screen, shaking his fan: "Are you happy?"

"Are you happy?"

"Are you happy with the way these people test the cadres?"

"Tch." Yan Shu curled his lips and reached out to the saury: "Just use this to test the cadres? Which cadre can't stand this... this?"

When he lifted the handle, he failed to lift the bundled saury. He quickly opened it up and took a look. Where was the saury inside, it was clearly yellow gold. lap.

Then he hurriedly opened the food box, which was actually filled with a box full of corals, pearls and antiques.

Song Beiyun stepped forward and picked up a string of pearls to weigh them: "How is it? How many cadres can stand this kind of test?"

Chapter 681: Sunny September 4, Six Years

Today's banquet, everyone has their own ghosts in their hearts. Since the general trend is irreversible, they will naturally try their best to retain their greatest strength as much as possible.

It's like when two people meet a bear in the mountains together, the only thing they can do is to pray that their companion runs slower. If he is really fast, give him a knife.

The core idea of ​​the gentry class is to serve the family. They don't even care about the country, so how can they care about such a fragile gentry alliance.

When the giant bear is rushing towards them, what they think most is definitely not how to catch the bear, but how to find a way to chop off the leg of their companion.

Last night was exciting enough for Yan Shu, but today's excitement during the day was an eye-opener for him.

Originally, those families that he thought were strong and courageous, tried their best to please him, and all kinds of children who were originally from a gentry family were eye-opening.

To be honest, if he hadn't seen this before, it would be a lie to say that it was not shaken. He said in his conscience that he couldn't be as calm as Song Beiyun, who regarded money as dung.

The key point is that there is more than money here, precious antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and authentic works of predecessors, so they would be stuffed into his arms like a joke, for all kinds of reasons.

In addition to these, it is not uncommon for Cypriots to see daughters in the family, regardless of whether they are born to wives or concubines, they will be sent to Yan Shu like pigs. They all looked a little dazed.

It’s really no wonder that corruption has been banned in the past dynasties, but it has been repeatedly banned in the past dynasties. It’s not that the officials are not clean, but these people give a lot.

The most interesting ones were those who came to take naya bribes. They came to the door empty-handed. Halfway through the conversation, they said that Yan Shu’s tea cup was a high-quality product from ancient Shu. I bought random things from folk kilns, but they didn't believe me, so they threw down the banknotes and ran away holding the cup.

Looking at the [-] guan on the table, Yan Shu could only smile without saying a word.

When the door was closed to thank the guests in the afternoon, Song Beiyun got up from the bed, yawned and came to the courtyard. Seeing Yan Shu drinking tea with a sad face, he stepped forward and smiled and said, "Well, what's the harvest this morning?"

"These people, the means of bribery are really superb."

"Okay, you can do it." Song Beiyun said with a relaxed face: "For bribery, just do it."

"But it's against the law of the country."

"Don't be found out if you have the ability." Song Beiyun smiled lightly: "Everyone can accept bribes, but if they are found out, they must pull out the carrots and bring out the mud. When the officials are assessed, let's see how they explain the huge wealth The source is unknown. What we want to investigate is corruption. As for bribery, you can’t investigate it unless someone reports it.”

Yan Shu sighed silently. How could he not know that this was a kind of compromise? After all, he racked his brains and couldn't think of any good way to deal with bribery.Corruption is easy to investigate, but bribery is difficult to catch.

"Okay, don't worry about this. This is a millennium problem. There is no other way than to expose the deadly hands." Song Beiyun shook his head and said, "Three years, the magistrate's [-] snowflake silver is not a joke."

Yan Shu slapped the table hard and let out a long sigh.

Song Beiyun looked at him and knew that he was angry, but this thing is really a big problem. As long as people are still people, who will not be confused when looking at that bright yellow thing, as long as it happens once, there will be ten thousand times. It is really endless.
