It was nearly March, and it was sunny for many days. The weather was getting warmer day by day, and the clothes on pedestrians on the street were getting thinner. Looking at the particularly bright and far-reaching sky above my head, Wu Haogu, who was rushing to the road, felt much more comfortable as the weather.

He received the edict to report his work in Beijing ten days ago, and also learned the good news that the "Wan Wan Qian Anti-Liao Plan" was approved by the official Zhao Ji, as well as another good news, that is, Ji Yi, the founder of JD.com, will serve as the Hebei Transportation Commissioner.

In the local official system of the Song Dynasty, the Transshipment Order was actually the highest administrative officer. Although the Thidian Criminal Prison and the Thidian Criminal Office were successively established during the reign of Renzong and Shenzong to divide the power of the Transshipment Order. However, the Transshipment Order, who held the power of the financial and military supplies, was still the most powerful local official. The local official responsible for managing the anti-Liao budget was naturally the Transshipment Order of Hebei.

This assignment involves the management and operation of tens of millions of dollars, at least tens of millions of dollars, and it also hinders the neck of Wu Haogu, the Xuan Shuai. Not to mention a person who deliberately finds fault, even ordinary civil officials, with their half-bottle of vinegar financial management and their preference for official business, it is enough to make Wu Haogu, the capitalist, drink a lot.

Spending money, especially spending a huge amount of astronomical money, is really a big deal! Looking at the officialdom of the Song Dynasty, Ji Yicai and Wu Haogu discussed the knowledge of spending money well. At most, other people talk about kickbacks. If they meet an unreasonable official and do not understand finance, they can only watch as they waste most of Zhao Ji's miserable money...

So after getting Ji Yi to partner with him, Wu Haogu sent Ji Yi a long letter explaining his "spend money thinking". On the one hand, he quickly took Zhao Jiaren, He Tianran, and Zhang Xizai, the head of the Finance Office of Jiehe Commercial City, to Kaifeng Prefecture.

Now when the military situation is urgent, Yelu Yanxi, the Emperor of the Great Liao Dynasty, has entered the city of Xijin Prefecture! The entire Jiehe Commercial City, including the North City of the Shang City, has been under martial law. On the water surface of Jiehe, there are always inland warships that belong to Jiehe Maritime Warships.

However, the war between the two sides did not officially begin, and the trade between the Song and Liao dynasties carried out through Jiehe Market was not interrupted. Not only did it not interrupt, but an unprecedented prosperity occurred. Everyone knew that the war was about to start. Naturally, we must seize the last opportunity before the war and quickly do all the transactions that can be done. All the goods that should be sold must be sent out quickly. The goods that need to be stored must be hoarded, and no one knows when the trade will be started again!

Just as Wu Haogu rushed to Kaifeng Prefecture day and night, he had just obtained a Feique Ji Yi, who was envious of everyone, and was busy with all kinds of disputes and bargaining with the officials of the Ministry of Revenue and Taifu Temple in Kaifeng Prefecture.

This is a big order of tens of millions to tens of millions! How could the Ministry of Revenue and Taifu Temple give out the money quickly? In addition, there are a bunch of ancestors of all sizes in the Censorate, all of whom are trying to dig out several big cases!

So Ji Yi, who became the Hebei Transport Authority, in addition to dealing with the "financial owners" these days, she also had to visit the big bosses of various factions in the court.

Since the beginning of the chaos between the new and old parties in the court, the Censorate has no longer been a relatively independent supervisory institution, but a tool for the struggle between the two parties. Now, although the old and the new parties merge, the struggle between the new and old Confucianism and the old Confucianism has gradually begun.

As a figure between the two Confucian scholars of the new and old, Ji Yi happened to be sitting in the seat of the Hebei Transportation Commander. How could he not burn more incense from the bigwigs of all parties?

But he was still lucky. Although Ji Yi had no backer Zhang Dun, he still had Zhang Yuan, the leader of the four generals who have made all Confucian scholars in the world praise him (in the eyes of the Liao people, Zhang Yuan is not as good as Gao Qiu, but in the eyes of scholars in the world, Zhang Yuan is the best) standing behind him.

Zhang Yuan was a powerful man who was a Jinshi and was a powerful soldier to fight for the Song Dynasty to recover Anxi and Beiting, and was still defeated the 100,000 troops of the Dashi Kingdom on the high mountains of the Pamir Mountains. Moreover, he also peacefully recovered the Hexi Corridor from the "Western Pirates" and opened the Confucian academies to Anxi, Beiting and Tianzhu Kingdom.

Such achievements are definitely the first among civil officials today. Moreover, he is the real commander of the heavy army. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the sword handle of Confucian scholars all over the world!

Even people like Cai Jing and Zhang Shangying have to look at Zhang Yuan's face and take care of Ji Yi, so that their followers in the Censorate should pay attention and not bite too much.

Of course, Zhang Yuan himself would not come forward to say hello to anyone. He should have given Zhang Dun a filial piety at this moment. Taking off love and becoming an official is already contrary to Confucian ethics, so how could he still visit the tourists? So after entering the capital, he moved into Ji Yi's mansion in Kaifeng Prefecture. In addition to entering the palace by the imperial edict, he would also be in the back of his door to thank the guests.

However, moving into Ji Yi’s mansion shows his position that Ji Yi is the person he guards with Zhang Yuan!

Today, Ji Yi returned from the Qionglin Palace and hurried to the courtyard where Zhang Yuan was. When he entered the courtyard, he saw the filial son Zhang Yuan wearing a regular household clothes, leaning comfortably on a bamboo couch, and there was a table beside him, with a cup of sour plum soup on it, and holding a book in his hand, looking at it with relish.

"Fourth Uncle," Ji Yi took off her official uniform under the servitude of the female envoy, and asked with a smile, "What book are you reading today?"

"It's "My Lady Mo's Q&A"," Zhang Yuan said, "I thought she was just a dancer, but I didn't expect that she would have such insights."

Ji Yi smiled and said, "She is a Manichaean saint, and she is also well-versed in Confucianism. She was influenced by Wu Haogu. She has read "Theory of Heaven", "Theory of Empirical Thoughts" and "Theory of Reason". This time she went to the West and read the collection of Aristotle and Kendie, which is naturally inspired."

"She has a very good explanation of the law of nature!" Zhang Yuan put down the book in his hand, picked up the sour plum soup and took a sip. "This book is well written... not only very helpful to our Confucianism, but also to the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism, can also gain something from it."

"My Lady's Questions and Answers" is actually a booklet explaining religious teaching, focusing on analyzing the laws of Confucianism, the dualism of Allah of the Tianfang Cult and the Manichaeism.

In other words, Mo Madam equates the "orthodox" of nature with Allah, light, and darkness. She formally regards the principle of heaven as the lord of the Creator, and the worship of the lord of the Creator is the highest form of worship of Confucian ancestors. This links the ancestors with the principle of heaven! In this way, the idea of ​​respecting heaven and law ancestors has religious significance and can become the core of Confucianism.

This set of ideas may not be of any value to the empirical school and the rational school, but it is of great significance to the Tianli School. Because it is a key step from the Tianli School to the Tianli School!

Because Zhang Yuan is at the forefront of the confrontation of religious thought, he must find a shortcut for the religiousization of Confucianism. If he blindly avoids the origin and only talks about morality and ethics, Confucianism will inevitably be inferior to others when facing Tianfang Buddhism, Buddhism and Taoism. Especially for the illiterate middle and lower class people, the Four Books and Five Classics are far less sacred than worshiping the Heavenly Rules and ancestors.

Moreover, with the worship of the principles of heaven, the Confucian academies can be combined with the ancestral temple. The teachers of the academy can preside over the worship of the principles of heaven and ancestors, and in fact they become clergymen...

"Wu Chongdao is here to Kaifeng Mansion?" Zhang Yuan asked with a smile, "I happened to meet him, and he should also read "My Lady Mo's Q&A"!"

"He didn't have that skill!" Ji Yi, who also changed into a thin shirt, sat down on a bamboo couch placed under the shade of the tree. "This time he poked a hornet's nest. Not only did the civil servants dislike him, but even the official family did not trust him as much as before."

"Today, the official family asked you to stare at Wu Chong?" Zhang Yuan pulled down his eyelids.

Ji Yi smiled, "No explicit words, but this is what it means inside and outside."

Zhang Yuan smiled: "Who made Wu Chongdao violate the wishes of the officials?"

Of course, Zhao Ji did not explicitly say that he would lose money and avoid disasters, but his thoughts were not a secret for those who were truly close to the core of the power of the Song Empire.

Not to mention Wu Haogu, he is almost the roundworm in Zhao Ji's belly, and he still doesn't know what Zhao Ji thinks?

But he violated Zhao Ji's wishes and even offered a plan to fight against Liao that was worth ten thousand yuan. Although Zhao Ji was forced to accept Wu Haogu's plan, he must be very unhappy.

Even if this incident finally made Zhao Ji show his attention, Wu Haogu is no longer the confidant of the Tian family.

"Fourth Uncle," Ji Yi said, "What should you do if you think about this?"

"Hehe, the birds are all hidden, the bow is hidden, the rabbits are dead and the dogs are cooked... If I think of the friendship in the past, maybe I can have a glass of wine to release the military power, right?"

"Fourth Uncle," Ji Yi shook her head, "What should I do?"

"You?" Zhang Yuan laughed, "Yizhi, you shouldn't have taken the dispatch of the Hebei Transportation Envoy without understanding it, right?"

"Of course I thought about it, but..." Ji Yiyan stopped and just shook her head.

"Are you worried that Wu Haogu's power is too great?" Zhang Yuan asked with a smile.

Ji Yi nodded, "The empirical school has long been too big to lose. Wu Haogu now has six new generals, as well as Jiehe Shangshi, the wealth source. The warships on the sea are all controlled by his confidants. I really don't know what will happen in the future?"
