Restoration, although what is proposed now is the restoration of martial arts, on the basis of restoring martial arts, it is inevitable to restore Wen. This is inevitable. Because once this person gathers a group of scholars and restores martial arts, he will have

If you have a certain amount of influence, you will then gain the right to re-interpret the classics and meanings, and then build a new Confucian school, establish a Confucian sect, express your political opinions, seek political opportunities, become an official and become a party, and then the party will join in the fight against differences. This is normal.

process.

The problem is not that there is no problem. If the person who proposed "returning to the ancients" was a great Confucian of the generation, then Zhao Ji would definitely not tell Wang Yan like a joke. Because the influence of the Confucian scholars is not a joke. They have high-ranking friends, low-ranking disciples, and

Other like-minded Confucian elders have already grasped the power to interpret the meaning of the classics, and their top-down influence is much greater than that of bottom-up.

But now the person who proposes the concept of "restoration" is just an undisciplined scholar. Like Wang Yan, he is just a scholar who has passed the government examination. This is a big problem. Because he did not enter the imperial examination and became an official, he has not proven his ability.

As for the great Confucians, they all failed to do well as officials and had no choice but to retire and return to their hometowns to seek enlightenment. Now a player like this who is nothing has put forward such a concept and wants to bring about an internal change in Confucianism, or in other words, wants to start from

It's ridiculous for Confucianism to split another mountain. A worm trying to shake a tree is overestimating its own capabilities.

On the other hand, Zhao and Song Dynasties abolished martial arts. Now some people want to bring back the literati and mount swords to kill enemies. This is digging into the roots of the Zhao family. The Confucians who cannot be beaten are so ruthless, so what are they like who can fight?

?It is said that scholars will not rebel for ten years. Now that scholars have practiced martial arts, they have to fight. In this way, they can not only join the officialdom, but also join the army. And the scholars of the 'retrospective' school obviously do not join the army as thieves, or even join the army.

To a certain extent, it has improved the status of the military, which has been suppressed for nearly a century. Even though it is still suppressed, the situation is obviously different.

If Da Ru took the lead in carrying out the restoration, it would be strange for Zhao Ji to fall asleep.

After taking a sip of tea, the senior official gently put down his tea cup: "In the official family, I think this person's heart is indeed good, but he is a little naive. Once he failed in the imperial examination and could not even become an official, he thought

It is difficult to achieve anything by learning from great Confucian scholars. Secondly, Confucian knowledge has been studied and commented by great Confucian scholars of all ages. The books of sages become thicker and thicker as they read. Scholars are so poor that they have no energy to practice martial arts to strengthen themselves.

In the past three years, the so-called poor in literature and rich in martial arts has meant that many poor people have failed to study despite their poor families. Now they have to concentrate on practicing martial arts, and practicing martial arts is the most harmful to the body. If you don’t have the money to buy medicinal materials, you can’t eat meat every day. In the long run, there will be harm.

It is also difficult to improve one’s physical strength and martial arts skills.

What's more, the battlefield is dangerous. They are shouting for joy now, but they are all thin and tender. They can't carry it on their shoulders, lift it with their hands, and have no strength to tie a chicken. Once they get to the battlefield, it's a question of how many people can come back alive.

If you can’t survive, how can you return to the past?”

Zhao Ji looked Wang Yan up and down and laughed loudly: "I think you are the best leader of this retro style. I have changed my imperial belt twice in the past few years, and you have beaten me all over. Jingyiyiyi

It has never fallen behind, and its reputation is resounding throughout the Song Dynasty. If it were up to you, there is no doubt that this restoration would really be possible."

"The officials are joking. How can a small businessman like me have such great ability?"

"Little businessmen? If there were more small businessmen like you in the Song Dynasty, I would wake up from my dreams laughing." Zhao Ji laughed for a while, then suddenly frowned and said: "Zi Yan, when it comes to this business, I

I remember you earned me more than 600,000 guan in the first year, and in the second year, you made 800,000 guan for me. Why is it still more than 800,000 guan this year, with no increase? Is there something wrong? "

The senior official wanted to stand up in fear, but when he saw Zhao Ji waving his hand, he sat up straight, took up half of the seat and said with his hands: "The official family, after nearly four years of development, the Song Dynasty can afford those products produced by Xiaochen.

Everyone has bought all the goods. The consumption power of my Song Dynasty has reached its limit at this point. Although there are still some fresh products produced, Xiaochen’s stall is getting bigger and bigger, and the number of people he supports is getting bigger and bigger.

It’s not easy to maintain a stable balance of millions of strings.”

“What is spending power?”

"That's how much money the people of the Song Dynasty can spend." Wang Yan mused: "The official family is like this cup of tea. The people of the Song Dynasty work, farm, do business, etc., and the money they earn in a year is this cup of tea

.After removing daily necessities such as firewood, rice, oil, and salt, after removing these, there is only so much money left to buy the things Xiaochen sells."

While he was talking, he took a sip of tea and showed the remaining tea in the cup to Zhao Ji: "These are what I can earn for the official family. If I save one cup of tea every year, I can earn one cup every year."

Yes, that’s all.”

This is not a difficult thing to understand. Zhao Ji understood it. He was silent for a while and said: "How can I make more tea in the cup? How can I make the teacup bigger?"

"The official family is a generation of holy masters and wise kings. They have countless capable ministers and good generals. However, the minor ministers are incompetent. I hope the official family will forgive me."

"You..." Zhao Ji stretched out his hand to point at Wang Yan, shook his head and smiled: "Then what should you do with those scholars who you said want to restore ancient times?"

"It's hard for a mob to be successful. Don't they want to go to the battlefield to serve the country? They have even organized a group of people. The officials will just let them go. They think they will be honest after two battles. But when they get to the battlefield, they still have to be careful. Don't do it.

We really want them to die. I, the Song Dynasty, treat scholars favorably. If they really become pawns and go to charge, it will be said that it will damage the holy name of the official family."

"What Zi Yan said is true, and I think so too, so let's do this and see what great things these scholars who want to restore ancient times can do."

Zhao Ji laughed loudly and found it quite interesting.

After playing with Zhao Ji for a while and having a meal with him, the official left the imperial city and wandered around the bustling streets of Bianjing again with his two long followers. A few days later, it was again

During the annual Lantern Festival, the bustle on the street has not changed at all, and it is still as joyless as ever.

Wandering around like this, he randomly found a restaurant to eat snacks in the evening, and then returned to the house where Zhao Ji admired him.

He couldn't give away hundreds of thousands of money every year for free, and Zhao Ji didn't want him to be an official, so he gave him the annual reward for free. This house was rewarded years ago, and it gave him a place to stay in Bianjing.

Hao always lives in an inn. In addition, his rank has been successfully promoted, and he is now a fifth-grade Cavalry General. With this promotion, he can hopefully reach the rank of Cavalry General, and maybe even become a Cavalry General.

I can get a title or something. After all, a hussar general is not worthy of a high title. It doesn't look good.

Thinking of something interesting, the official shook his head and smiled, sitting at the large desk and writing a letter.

"Mingyuan, we are all aware of the retrospection..."

There is no other time traveler in this world. If there were, it would be impossible for the official to create things and make money like this without attracting fellow villagers. And on the other hand, he has been around for hundreds of years and has not seen or listened to anyone.

Dad sent the news.

Therefore, this "retrospective" matter naturally came from the hands of a high-ranking official. The man who was parading and shouting with a sword was the one he helped up. His name was Li Tu, whose nickname was Mingyuan. He was a classmate of the old housekeeper's son.

He was born with great strength and was determined to take the imperial examination, but there was no hope. So Wang Yan sent someone to meet him, chatted with him, and then taught him martial arts, and that's what happened today.

This is considered a casual move. The main thing is to recruit a group of enthusiastic soldiers first. I don’t know if these people can be used for a long time. After all, it is almost meaningless to be enthusiastic after being fooled. But if it is used for a small amount of time, there is still no problem. These

People will be very capable of execution.

On the other hand, he definitely still wanted to oppose Confucianism and attack the Confucian family. The title of Yan Shenggong was given by Renzong, and the Confucian family came to stand on the fence and create the Southern and Northern Sects at this time.

Now he is engaged in retrospection, hoping to set off a cultural movement, thereby achieving all-round progress in culture, art, politics, economy, etc., and reaching a new peak.

Of course, these things cannot be accomplished by a bunch of idiots headed by Li Tu, but it doesn't matter, he will help them. At the same time, if you want cultural movements, you cannot lack a stable social environment and a certain economic base. These are all

What he wants someone to do.

He just wants to be the one who produces white paper so that people of this era can paint on it as much as they want.

After writing the letter, I handed it over to my subordinates to secretly send it through channels. I read leisurely in the big house until late at night, and snuck out through the wall to steal fragrance.

Speaking of which, the house Zhao Ji gave him made it easier for him to do things. Yuxiang Tower is not far outside Xihua Gate, and his house is also nearby, but closer. In this regard, Zhao Ji is a

Good people...

In the darkness, Master Li, who was only wearing a bellyband, opened his big bright eyes and looked at the newly-renovated glass window to the south. He remained silent until the window creaked, and then he saw a tall man.

The shadow appeared there, blocking the glimmer of light coming through the darkness.

She sat up happily, regardless of her beauty exposed in the air. She no longer held the quilt with her hands as tightly as before. Her voice had the excitement of a little woman waiting for her lover: "You are here..."

The senior official sighed, closed the window, and then walked to the door very skillfully. He opened the door and went out to make the little maid outside sleep soundly. Then he closed the door and entered the room, took off his clothes and went to bed.

Lu Zhishen spat: "Damn, the officials really dare to think and do it. The Sa family never dreamed that if someone dared to start an uprising in the Liao Kingdom, the Sa family would be the first to charge."

Yang Zhi, who was holding a knife at the side, had a rare smile on his sad face: "High-ranking officials have strategies in their chests, good plans in their belly, and in their hearts they have the ambition to swallow up the world. No matter how it is, Yang Zhi has never dared to do so until now.

If I want to restore the glory of my ancestors of the Yang family, I just want not to disgrace the Yang family's style. Nowadays, following high officials, even if you can't restore the lintel of the Yang family, you can still make a big event. It is better than being bullied by pigs and dogs in the Song Dynasty.

."

"The Sa family doesn't think so much. I only know that high-ranking officials have great ambitions and can achieve great things. Since the Sa family is generous, what's the harm in taking this life?" As he spoke, he saw a faint flicker of fire in the darkness in the distance.

Lu Zhishen adjusted his armor, moved his body, picked up his Zen staff, stood up and left without saying a word: "Follow me."

As he finished speaking, the sound of armor leaves shaking sounded. In the darkness behind, soldiers armed with shiny light armor and rifles stood up and followed Lu Zhishen and Yang Zhishen in front without saying a word.

The two of them ran away in unison.

Wanyan was causing chaos in the north, so various towns in the south also strengthened their defenses, but it was obvious that these defenses were of no use.

Lu Zhishen and others walked quickly to the city. They looked at the wide open city gate and glanced at the word "Fuxian" written above the city gate. They laughed and walked straight into the city without stopping. The troops at the rear divided their troops in an orderly manner.

, according to the predetermined plan, they quickly occupied important city defense areas, and also sent manpower straight to the homes of various officials.

At the same time, Laisu and Huaihua counties in Suzhou, as well as several other counties, were simultaneously carrying out such operations.

It was already clear what was going on. While the Jin Kingdom was attacking the Liao Kingdom, Wang Yan's manpower deployed in Suzhou of the Liao Kingdom also took action. And with one move, Suzhou and Fuzhou were all captured. This territory, according to modern times

For the map, it is all administrative areas south of Wafangdian, Dalian.

The Song Dynasty was not able to defeat the Liao Kingdom, but Wang Yan did it. This was a battle training, logistical supplies, armaments and even the ideological crushing of the soldiers. Although they did not go through battle formations, with good training, they could guarantee that they would not retreat.

As long as you don't retreat, the more you fight, the stronger you will become.

Especially now, it is a God-given opportunity. In comparison, Su and Fu states have few people, so it is not important. However, Wanyan Aguda is different. They have occupied a lot of plain areas, both in terms of land resources and population resources.

It is not comparable to a peninsula. Therefore, the main target of the Liao Kingdom is still Wanyan Aguda. As for Wang Yan's power, they will most likely send troops to test it and see their strength. As for the Jin Kingdom, they will obviously not be in trouble with Wang Yan.

.First of all, we have to do business, and secondly, it is really not important that the island is a mountainous area, and it is not a serious matter.

Even if Wang Yan does not develop as expected, and the Liao Kingdom or the Jin Kingdom targets him, he can still hold on to his current basic market. After all, he has developed for so many years and poured a lot of money and resources into it. It is not in vain. Now in his hands

There are 2,000 Modao troops and 8,000 archers and infantry. Fighting the rabble of the Liao Kingdom is also a city defense battle. The 30,000 to 50,000 soldiers and horses are not afraid. If they are attacking the Jin Kingdom, they are not afraid either. After all, the Jin Kingdom is strong in cavalry.

In addition, the quality of soldiers and weapons are lagging behind. As long as they don't fight in the field, there will be no problem.

As for defending the city, he has a fleet and sets off directly from Dengzhou. There is absolutely no shortage of logistical supplies. After all, he can send 800,000 guan to Zhao Ji a year, so of course there will be more left. Zhao Ji uses it to repair his

Long live the mountain, but he used it to dig out the foot of the mountain.
