Chapter 873: It's Wu Hao Gu's Turn
The huge sea ship stopped at the dock, and a clerk from Jiehe Commercial City Taxation Bureau was standing on the pier. Ji Yi and Zhang Yuan were riding the warship "God of Light" and did not need to pay any taxes as required. However, the clerk from the Commercial City Taxation Bureau still had to get on the ship to check and confirm that the ship was indeed the real "God of Light".
While boarding the ship for inspection, the tax authorities of Jiehe Commercial City reported the arrival of the "God of Light" to the head of Jiehe Commercial City Wu Haogu.
Soon, Wu Haogu took dozens of guards to the Nancheng Wharf, which was not too far from the municipal office, and personally welcomed Ji Yi and Zhang Yuan.
After greetings on the pier, Wu Haogu and Ji Yi and Zhang Yuan walked together, heading towards the inn located in the north city of Jiehe Shang City, which was where Yelu Nanxian lived when he passed through Jiehe Shang City.
The three of them walked up to the floating bridge across the border river, talking about the changes that had happened in the court not long ago.
"In Haizhou, many scholars are talking about Cai Yuanchang!" Zhang Yuan said lightly, "It's like this in Haizhou, let alone other places! Maybe there is no one in Jiehe Market that sympathizes with Cai Yuanchang, right?"
In history, Cai Jing was very unpopular. Because he used all means to plunder Zhao Ji, he also created a Yuanyou Party Monument, which attacked a large number of political enemies. However, now he has Wu Haogu, Ji Yi and Pan Xiao'an have money for Zhao Ji. He did not have the opportunity to erect the Yuanyou Party Monument for Cai Jing, so his reputation is not very bad.
In addition, he opposed the right-ranking Jinshi and lost his power, so he became a loyal minister in the minds of scholars all over the world. He was "sacrificing" for scholars all over the world. Although he was in a down-and-out manner, his reputation in the scholars was several times higher than before.
"What do you say about Ling Zun?" Wu Haogu asked.
Zhang Dun died in 1105 in history, but now Zhang Dun is in a much better situation, and he is in a better mood and is in a better mood. Of course he is in a good mood! So he is still alive.
Zhang Yuan said: "My father said whether Cai Yuanchang can resume is not the key. The key is your empirical school, Jiehe Commercial City, our Jingdong Commercial City, and the giant businessmen and industrial enterprises relying on the two major commercial cities. They are indeed going to subvert the world."
"Super the world..."
Wu Haogu smiled bitterly.
Zhang Dun was right! Rationalism and positivism are subversive philosophical thoughts. How could the republic system implemented by the two major merchants have no impact on the system of the feudal dynasty? As for the giant merchants and big workers, they even opened a road to heaven outside the feudal order.
Moreover, rationalism, positivism, republican markets and tycoons are now tied together, and the threat to a feudal dynasty can be imagined.
"Yizhi," Wu Haogu turned his head and looked at Ji Yi, "This matter has to be resolved by you two."
"Me?" Ji Yi was stunned.
Zhang Yuan was also stunned, "We?"
"Yes!" Wu Haogu said with a smile, "The world is so big that our dynasty only has one corner; the wealth of sea trade is so rich that it belongs to others. The emperor wants to open up territory and gain power from all over the world. If the two major markets and the empirical school can expand land and make money for the emperor, the emperor will naturally support us."
Wu Haogu said that Zhao Ji was not a good thing! He almost said that Zhao Ji was a foolish monarch who was very fond of merit and was squandering.
The empirical school, two major markets, and a huge number of businesses and workers, are still not in power to fight against scholars all over the world, so they can only exchange for a certain living space by satisfying the desires of the foolish emperor.
Moreover, in Wu Haogu's view, traditional scholars and officials based on small peasant economy cannot adapt to an ocean era and cannot get any benefits from the ocean.
If the Song Dynasty could seize large tracts of land and wealth from overseas, then the ones that were strengthened would inevitably be the empirical school, two major commercial markets, and a huge number of merchants and major industrial enterprises.
"That's right." Ji Yi nodded.
Zhang Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "It is of course easy to expand land and make money overseas. There are 36 warships gathered on the five islands, and there are no less than 10,000 soldiers and sailors raised. Ordinary small overseas countries may be able to break them. But someone wants to expand the land in the west, where there are stones and sand. I am afraid there is no oil or water, right?"
The "Five Islands" he mentioned are archipelagos centered on Shaman Island. Due to the special location of the islands, a natural haven surrounded by islands was formed on the sea. After Wu Haogu obtained the jurisdiction of the Five Islands, he used it as a naval base for construction. A large number of docks, barracks, fortresses and shipyards were built, and a branch of the Naval Academy was opened there to train naval officers. There was also a five-island inspection office, which was actually the Fleet Command.
The fleet now commanded by Hu Yanqing, Wu Side, Wu Sihai, Hua Mancang and others is stationed in the Five Islands Islands, practicing day and night, preparing to follow the division led by Ji Yi to the Dashiguo this fall.
In addition to 36 warships and 10,000 sailors, hundreds of merchant ships from the Wu family in Haizhou, the Ji family in Pingjiang, the Xie family in Mingzhou, the Bai family in Quanzhou, and the Chen family in Guangzhou were accompanied and carried out long-distance armed trafficking.
According to the plan, the fleet led by Ji Yi will stay in the Sanfoqi Strait for a period of time. After the port and castle were built on an island in the Sanfoqi Strait, the fleet will be divided into three parts. Some follow Ji Yi to enter the Western Ocean, one of the known Ji Yi in Western history, and some stay in the Sanfoqi Strait and establish the Nanyang Inspection Department; and some will return to the Central Plains after the south wind blows up next year.
"Brother Zhiping has great potential to go here!" Wu Haogu smiled, "If I hadn't been able to leave, I would have gone by myself."
As he spoke, he turned around on the back of the horse and waved at Chen Jian who was following Zhang Yuan, "Xingguo."
"Student is here." Chen Jian immediately beat the horse forward and reached the position where Zhang Yuan was half a horse.
"Have you brought it to everyone in the family?"
"It's all brought," Chen Jian replied, "Carrying the 'God of Light' warship, the Border River."
Three of the four people, including Chen Jian, Yu Tongdao, Liu Long, Xue Ding, etc., were from powerful families in Jianghu East, and their closest relatives lived in Jiehe Shang City, and their relatives were all powerful, so they had their own ways to deal with the harassment of local governments. Only Chen Jian was from Tanzhou on Jinghu South Road, but from the famous Yimen Chen family, and their closest relatives also lived in their hometown of Tanzhou. So Lin Chong arranged for people to go to Tanzhou to pick up Chen Jian's parents in the morning. Brothers and other close relatives were all official households, so it was naturally not difficult to transfer.
As for the relatives of the Yimen clan, they can only let them deal with it themselves. However, the Yimen of the Huangfeng will not collapse because of a few unfilial sons. This is a branch of the Yimen Chen in Jiangzhou!
Moreover, Chen Jian, Yu Tongdao, Liu Long and Xue Ding's behavior was not considered a rebellion, but was not a rebellion, but was ordered by Cai Jing to disperse the Tai students and Yuntai Academy students who entered the Qingcheng Academy.
Even though Cai Jing, the chief culprit, was criticized by the censors, he was not arrested and questioned. He just resigned from the position of prime minister and invited a foreign county. Now he was sentenced to Jiangning Mansion as a Grand Secretary of Duanming Palace.
In fact, after Zhao Ji calmed down, he also felt that Cai Jing was quite unfair. Opposing the empirical school is a public opinion that scholars all over the world, and Cai Jing's position is nothing wrong. And it was Zhao Ji himself who asked Cai Jing to let go of the army... Zhao Ji let Cai Jing go and let him go, because he should be on the surface that he still has his determination to train troops and strengthen the country!
"That's good." Wu Haogu smiled, "Just let them live in Hebei City, Jiebei... This is the land of the Liao Kingdom, and even the imperial edicts of the officials cannot be obtained, so they will take care of them."
"Xie Shuaisi." Chen Jian bowed on the horse's back.
Wu Haogu said again: "I told Master Zhang that after the Great Educational Group arrived in Anxi, where should I go?"
"Report to Shuaisi, the lower official has already said it."
Wu Hao's ancient paintings are very big! After taking over the four towns of Anxi, he planned to let the Dajiao Group and the Hexi Army join forces to expand into India. He attacked the already weak Kingdom of Gassin and strive to break the bankruptcy of Zhao Ganshun, the Zhao Zhongshun brothers were attacked by their huge army and attacked the prosperous and prosperous Afghanistan.
This is a crazy thing to later generations. However, according to the information collected by Wu Haogu, Afghanistan is now a wealthy place. Thanks to the 17 invasions and lootings of India by the heroic lord Mahmud Ben Sobktaqin, who benefited from the 17 invasions and lootings of India by the heroic lord of the Kaseni Kingdom, Afghanistan gained countless wealth and was able to use its wealth to attract scholars and artists from Persia. Tianfang Temple, palaces, hospitals, schools, and even a university all appeared in Afghanistan like mushrooms after a rain. A large number of economic and cultural cities such as Balch, Herat, and Kandahar have also flourished one after another.
However, like all the barbarians who made their fortunes through robbery in history, Mahmud's glory was the beginning of the decline of the Kingdom of Gassen. The wealthy barbarians quickly corrupted and fell apart, and no longer had the ability to defend everything their ancestors had seized. The territory located in Persia and Central Asia (Mahmud also invaded Persia and occupied a large tract of land) was seized by the Seljuks shortly after Mahmud's death, and the remaining part of the Kingdom of Gassen also fell into endless divisions and civil strife. They could not resist the crazy Hexi army and the great ecclesiastical regiment...
"To Brother Ping, if everything goes well, maybe next year or the next year, you will be able to meet Brother Yi in India."
Wu Haogu seemed to be looking forward to a bright future, "Brother Zhiping advanced from land, just like Wang Xuance back then. However, Wang Xuance destroyed a country by one person, and could only succeed for a while and could not occupy it for a long time. However, Brother Zhiping led the army of the Education Corps and the Hexi Army. Once he went, he would definitely gain a foothold!
