"All civil and military officials in the court are indeed afraid of Liao!"

The one who sighed in Chongzheng Hall was Zhao Ji, an official from the Song Dynasty. Those who listened to this sigh were Wu Haowen, Pan Xiao'an and Cai You.

After Wu Haogu and Gao Qiu were released one after another, they were difficult to return, now in Kaifeng Prefecture, the ministers who can go to Qionglin Palace to play with Zhao Ji, namely Pan Xiao'an, Cai You, and Wu Haowen who came to Beijing to report their duties. By the way, there is also a Mi Youren who can actually play with Zhao Ji. But Mi Youren's father Mi Fu has just been in the ground and always has to pretend to be a filial son at home for a while, right? Otherwise, if the censor impeached an unfilial censor, it would be troublesome.

Mi Youren is not a great master Zhang Yuanzhang who is entrenched in the northwest and has tens of thousands of people!

"Your Majesty, Su Xianggong, Zhang and others are all old ministers. Moreover, they have been planning the future Northern Expedition for the past few years."

Of course, Wu Haowen has to say good things for Su Che, because Su Che is now supporting the development of Neo-Confucianism. Wu Haowen is also the disciple of Cheng Yi, the master of Neo-Confucianism, and is now the disciple of Hou Zhongliang, who is actually in charge of teaching in the Biyong Academy.

In addition, his father-in-law, Taishan, Han Zhongyan, is also an ally of Su Che.

"Planning?" Zhao Ji sighed, "This matter has been planned since the founding of this dynasty, and it has been more than a hundred years today..."

"Your Majesty, you have to make a long-term plan for the attack on Liao!" Pan Xiao'an said with a smile, "Didn't Gao Qiu and Zhang Yuan also submitted memorials a while ago? Do you both advocate caution and steadfast?"

Now Zhao Ji has "four generals" under his command, namely Gao Qiu, Zhang Yuan, Tong Guan and Wu Haogu. These are all coaches who fought on the battlefield. Tao Jiefu and Zhang Shuye, two commanders who have not been tested in actual combat, are a little worse than them.

Therefore, when the court was afraid that the Liao Dynasty would break out, Zhao Ji also issued an order to seek opinions from these four generals.

Among them, Wu Haogu and Tong Guan are both the main battles. Wu Haogu believes that the Khitans are at most in Hedong, and Shuofang creates some friction, so there will be no major problems. Tong Guan said that Shuofang, Shaanxi is strong and strong, and it is enough to deal with any provocations by the Khitan. This is not a bragging. There are now eleven generals in Shuofang Road and Shaanxi Sixth Route, and there are two generals of the Zhe family and the Yang family next door. There are thirteen generals in total. Moreover, the new army in Shaanxi can be expanded several times at any time! It is not an exaggeration to say that the troops are strong and strong.

However, Gao Qiu and Zhang Yuan seemed much more cautious, and both advocated keeping a low profile and not to stimulate the Liao Dynasty too much for the time being.

Cai You took the topic at this time and said with a smile: "I have been doing this in the past few years. As long as the Khitans are not deaf and blind, they should have known it long ago. The words of keeping a low profile are just deceiving themselves. If the hearts of those countries that have traveled thousands of miles to visit will be detrimental to our dynasty and will be beneficial to the Khitan."

Zhao Ji sighed, and was about to change the topic. He discussed the renovation of Yanfu Palace with Wu Haowen, Pan Xiao'an, Cai You and others. The big dick, Yang Jian, suddenly walked in from outside the gate of Chongzheng Hall excitedly, and when he saw Zhao Ji, he bowed and bowed.

"Everyone, the memorial from the Yintai Department has been delivered."

Emperor Zhao Ji still has to read the memorials. Every day, a large number of memorials are collected and sent to him by the Yintai Department.

"What's the good thing?" Zhao Ji looked at Yang Jian's happy appearance, so he asked.

"Report to Your Majesty," Yang Jian placed a stack of memorials in front of Zhao Ji's imperial case, then took out one from it and handed it on both hands, "This is Ji Yi's memorial."

These memorials are divided into two categories: Tongfeng and Luzhang. Generally speaking, Tongfeng memorials are first shown to the emperor and then sent to the two palaces. Luzhang means that the two palaces and the emperor see them at the same time, but the matters that Luzhang memorials are generally not important, so the emperor is too lazy to read them, so he just handed them over to the two palaces for handling.

"Ji Yilu's seal is reported?" Zhao Ji was stunned, "Is Ji Yi back?"

"This memorial was issued from Haizhou," Yang Jian smiled, "I think I'm back to Haizhou."

Zhao Ji took Ji Yi's memorial and it turned out to be a thick book! After reading for a while, the expression on his face suddenly became exciting.

"Okay! OK! What a memoir!" Zhao Ji smiled, "I actually did such a career. Ban Dingyuan of the Han Dynasty could not compare to him... Wu Erlang, you are now the Hailu Maritime Mansion Commander, so you go to Haizhou to welcome the missions of the Western Roman Kingdom, the Great Food Kingdom, the Polo Kingdom, the Julu Kingdom, the Three Buddha Qi Kingdom, the Champaign Kingdom, the Zhenla Kingdom and other countries to Beijing!

Haha, this time, it’s really a place for all nations to come to pay tribute! It seems that it won’t work if you want to keep your strength and keep your time!"

When Wu Haowen heard this, he couldn't help but glance at Cai You. If the emperor no longer hides his strength, then Su Che's left prime minister might have ended. Instead, it's Cai You's father Cai Jing?

But can Cai Jing really deal with the situation of foul-in-arms with the Khitan?

...

Haizhou, Yuzhou Island, Yuntai Academy.

Six days ago, he was riding the "God of Light" aerial warship. He rode the trade wind and finally returned to Ji Yi, who had been away from Haizhou for a long time, at the end of the second year of Daguan. Today, he wore plain Confucian clothes and boarded Yuzhou Island where the Yuntai Academy was located.

"Brother Yizhi, why didn't Li Boji return to Yuntai Mountain?"

In the library of Yuntai Academy, Su Shi, the current official in Jingdong Business Officer, exchanged a few greetings and asked about Li Gang's whereabouts.

Su Shi only returned to Haizhou yesterday. When Ji Yi arrived in Haizhou, he was inspecting Banqiao Commercial City in Mizhou, which was almost the place in Qingdao in later generations and was under the jurisdiction of JD.com. A few years ago, he bought a pony to a business group headed by the Wu family in Haizhou. However, his business was not good, and his business was snatched away by the Haizhou Commercial City. The Wu family did not make any money, so he wanted to withdraw and concentrate his resources on the Nanxindao Commercial City.

Su Shi personally went to Banqiao Market and discussed with Wu Yanzhao, the new head of the Wu family, about the investment of Jiehe Market Chamber of Commerce from Banqiao Market.

After half of the discussion, I learned that Ji Yi had returned to Haizhou. So I immediately took a fast boat to return. After returning to Yuzhou Island, I heard Lu Hao's question about Siye of Yuntai Academy, Li Gang and Mo Niang did not return, but stayed at the Ji Family Manor in Xiuzhou, so I asked.

"Brother Ji Bo and Mo Niangzi are preparing to translate Latin and Greek versions of Western learning books in Xiuzhou." Ji Yi smiled, "After going to the West, someone realized that the Western learning is also profound... Their classics are also vast. If you want to translate them all into Chinese, you will probably take years of experience. So Li Bo Ji and Mo Niangzi are also planning to open a Latin and Greek school in Xiuzhou to recruit a group of students, so that they can translate and study those classics together in the future."

"So that's it." Su Shi looked at Lu Haowen again.

Lu Hao asked and said with a smile: "It's good that this is the case. Now there are two fathers and sons of the Wan family and Mr. Yaheim, so we can open a college that teaches Dashi language, responsible for translating classics written by Dashi language."

At this time, no one expected that it seemed that an unintentional arrangement would eventually lead to the division of the empirical school and the birth of the Shanghai Arts and Sciences Palace, another thousand-year-old university! It is also the oldest university in southern China and the cradle of the Confucian rational school.

The two Yuntai Academy in the north are the holy places of the Confucian empirical school.

The doctoral group separated from the Yuntai Academy gradually evolved into the Confucian school of heaven and law.

A booklet called "Question and Answer of the Heavenly Literature" written by Mo Niangzi when translating Latin and Greek classics in Xiuzhou later became the theoretical basis for the gradual evolution of the Heavenly Literature School from a school to a sect.

In addition, Neo-Confucianism later absorbed a lot of nutrients from Western philosophy and religious classics. It gradually established a philosophical system that could be self-consistent, and explained the theory of unity between man and nature quite perfectly.

In other words, the empirical school, the rational school, the Tianli school and the Neo-Confucian school all absorbed the necessary nutrients from the large number of Western philosophy and scientific classics brought back by Ji Yi and grew into the four mainstream schools of Confucianism.

However, Ji Yi did not think at this time how important these classics he brought back from the West were to Chinese Confucianism, because compared with the gold he brought back from the West, the pile of sheepskin books looked a bit inconspicuous.

"Brother Zhongnan," Ji Yi did not discuss with Su Shi about Li Gang's staying in Xiuzhou, but instead changed the subject and talked about giving Zhao Ji the title. "This time, the people who came with the Holy See, Roman Kingdom, and Venetian Republic..."

"Wait, what country?" Su Shi heard a familiar noun.

"Republic!" Ji Yi said.

"What does it mean?" Su Shi asked with a frown.

"It is...a city-state country governed by the Governor elected by the Council."

"It sounds a bit like Jiehe Commercial City!" Lu Haowen interrupted.

"It's not just a little bit, it's almost the same!"

"There are still officials in Jiehe Commercial City." Su Shi reminded.

"There are also above the Republic of Venice," Ji Yi smiled, "they are Rome above them... and this Republic of Venice is also a country of industry and commerce, and it also has a fleet that dominates the Western Mediterranean! Their council is also called the Merchant Society."

"How come there is such a country..."

"It's a bit inappropriate in the end!"

Su Shi and Lu Haowen's sense of officialdom are still sensitive. Both of them realize that this Venetian Republic can easily make people have bad associations!

"There is another inappropriate thing," Ji Yi smiled bitterly, "The tributes from various countries are too thick!"

"The tribute is too thick?" Su Shi asked, "How thick is it?"

"It's very thick, very thick..." Ji Yi said, "There are probably four ships of gold and silver."

"How many?" Su Shi suspected that something was wrong with his ear.

"Four ships!"

"Does gold and silver be weighed by ships?"

Ji Yi smiled bitterly and said, "It's all tributes from the Great Food Kingdom, the Zhunian Kingdom, the Polo Kingdom and the Three Buddhas Kingdoms. I can't give you a name for me. I can only talk about how many ships there are?"
