…

Cai and Cai Chong continued to play chess.

The more Cai Chong thought about it, the deeper his brows frowned.

Gradually, Baizi's popularity grew stronger and stronger, while Heizi was gradually killed.

Most of the hour later, Cai Chong surrendered, then raised his head and looked at Cai Jianlai seriously, and said, "My sixth brother is very good at chess skills, but it's a bit... he uses any means to win."

Cai still smiled distractedly and said, "It's good to win, are the means important?"

When Cai Chong heard this, he was stunned at first, then laughed and said, "Sixth brother is such a wonderful person. Come on, let's kill another game."

Without Cai Chong's words, a maid came up and took down the chessboard that the two had put down together with the chess pieces on it. Then a maid exchanged them a new chessboard and two pots of chess pieces, and the two guessed again.

At the beginning of the second set, Cai Chong quietly learned from Cai and still used all means to win.

Cai Chong's chess skills are no worse than Cai Shen. After learning Cai Shen's methods of using any means to win, he immediately regained the situation, and finally almost defeated Cai Shen.

In the third game, Cai Shen secretly put some water and lost to Cai Chong, which made Cai Chong feel better and talked with Cai Shen even more happily.

Cai Shen and Cai Chong chatted for a while, and Cai Shen stood up and said goodbye with a proper attitude.

Cai Huan was sent to the edge of Nanyuan, and Cai Chong said goodbye to Cai Huan.

After returning to his living room, Cai Chong went straight to the back of a screen in the hall.

I saw a quiet woman serving a tall and thin old man reading a book there.

Cai Chong said: "Father, I have made you wait for a long time." - This old man is not someone else, but Cai Chong's father, the current prime minister of the Northern Song Dynasty, and the future leader of the six thieves, Cai Jing!

Cai Jing continued to read the book and said, "How is Cai Shen like this child?"

Cai Chong smiled and said, "It's very good for my taste."

Cai Jing looked up at Cai Chong and said, "Oh? Just because he gave you a game of chess in the end?"

“Uh~”

Cai Chong said in a little shocked: "Dad, did he tell me that the last game of chess was his handed over?"

Cai Jing continued to read the book and said at the same time: "You haven't even seen such an obvious thing?"

Cai Chong said a little embarrassedly: "I really didn't see that, this kid... I thought I won by my ability."

Cai Jing said: "Tell me what you think of him."

Cai Chong was obviously prepared for a long time. He said, "Just just now, he has been emphasizing that we are a family, which is obviously moving closer to our Cai family. Based on this, I speculate that he saved the life of Emperor Maode, including the game of chess that he finally made me show kindness to our Cai family. I think he may also know that his second uncle has passed away and his prestige and power are no longer there. If he wants to be an official in the Song Dynasty, if he wants to take revenge, the only thing he can rely on is our Cai family. Therefore, he and the second uncle should not be the same type of person, he should be a very pragmatic person."

Cai Jing did not deny Cai Chong's judgment of Cai Jian. Obviously, he also thinks of Cai Jian in this way.

Cai Chong continued: "He seems to be very utilitarian, which is not difficult to see from his unscrupulous way to win the game."

Cai Chong thought about it and said, "As for more, I can't tell from this contact alone."

Cai Jing couldn't refuse, "Then how do you think we should place him?"

Cai Chong also considered it a long time ago, and he said, "Although the results of the palace examination have not yet come out, with his talent, there should be no problem with the Jinshi. After all, he is a talented man as famous as Cai Hui. Although the second uncle left the court early and has passed away now, there are still many former officials of the second uncle in the court. The most important thing is that everyone knows that he is from our Cai family and they are all looking at how our Cai family treats him. Now he has expressed his closeness to our Cai family. People are greedy, so it should not be difficult to control. Therefore, I think it can pave a smooth road for him to start with the imperial censor in the palace or serve as a county magistrate."

Cai Jing pondered for a while and said, "You still need to ask him about his own wishes for this matter."

Cai Chong said: "Yes, father."

After a while of silence, Cai Jing said again: "There were only four people who could inherit his doctrines, one was his son Wang Yuanze, the other was Lu Huiqing, and the other was my second uncle and your second uncle. When Wang Gong was dismissed, Wang Yuanze left. Lu Huiqing was the main assistant of Wang Gong Gong's reform at that time, but later he and Wang Gong broke up. Only my second uncle and you always insisted on Wang Gong Gong's reforms and did not disappoint Wang Gong's high hopes. As for the later differences between your second uncle and you, it was entirely because your second uncle was too stubborn and did not know how to adapt. He actually insisted on Wang Gong's immature doctrine. I thought there should be some adjustments and deepens...Facts proved that I was right. Over the years, under my advocacy, the Song Dynasty has been booming, the world has been peaceful, and the prosperity and prosperity are great..."

To be prosperous means to be prosperous. To govern the country, we must first focus on the economy and make the country's finances rich. This is the economic foundation for governing the country.

To be prosperous means to be prosperous. We must ensure smooth government orders so that reforms can achieve results. This is the political foundation.

Yu means happiness, and we must create a peaceful and harmonious social environment and atmosphere, which is the foundation of society.

To be big means to be grand. To establish the style of a great country and to reflect the style of a great country, this is the basis of the country's image.

Cai Jing’s philosophy of governing the country is based on these four foundations, with clear layers, clear ideas and rich connotations.

Cai Jing's concept of governing the country with "Fengsheng and Yu Da" originated from his understanding of the rich philosophy of the "Book of Changes", and also reflected his thoughts and longing for ideal politics.

but--

Some people also say that Cai Jing's governance philosophy is to embellish the peace.

Some people also say that Cai Jing is advocating the style of extravagance.

Some people even say that Cai Jing is treating official titles, wealth and property like dirt, and is vigorously encouraging Song Huizong Zhao Ji to squander it.

Later, Cai Jing was named the leader of the six thieves, and his "Fengheng and Yu Da" was one of his crimes.

Cai Jing's philosophy of governing the country was both right and wrong, but objectively speaking, the reform led by Cai Jing did make the Northern Song Dynasty society look brand new.

Politically, Cai Jing cleared out the old party forces, ended the party struggle that had spread for decades, and laid a political foundation for social and economic development.

In terms of economy, Cai Jing attached importance to agriculture and sericulture and encouraged land reclamation, especially adjusted economic policies such as tea, salt, and money law, and the national fiscal revenue increased significantly.

Military, Cai Jing supported sending 100,000 troops to the west, regained the lost territory of Qingtang, consolidated border defense, enhanced the prestige of the emperor and the court, and improved the international status of the Song Dynasty.

In terms of education, Cai Jing vigorously developed school education, established a school education network across the country, and replaced the old imperial examination system with school education. This is an amazing creation with modern significance, known in history as "Chongning Xingxue".

In terms of people's livelihood, Cai Jing has generally established people's livelihood security institutions across the country, such as Jujiafang, Anjifang, and Luzeyuan. Jujiafang is used to help widows, widows, orphans, Anjifang is used to help those who are sick but have no money to treat them, and Luzeyuan is a government that has set aside land to bury those who are unable to carry out mourning. This is not a charity, but a people's livelihood project that benefits the whole people, which is very original in Chinese history.

It can be said that during the years when Cai Jing took charge of the Northern Song Dynasty, he was definitely the peak of the Huizong Dynasty, and even the peak of the Northern Song Dynasty.

Therefore, Cai Jing is now qualified to be proud, let alone criticize Cai Bian, who is stubborn.

After sighing for a while, Cai Jing changed his tone and said, "However, although my second uncle and I have some differences in political views, our brotherly relationship is still there. Moreover, if your second uncle had not recommended me to Mr. Wang, I would not have been today. Now others have left, leaving only Cai Gan, the child, which is reasonable, I must take care of you."

Cai Chong said: "When my son knows, he will definitely take good care of his sixth brother and will not let him suffer any grievances."

Cai Jing pondered for a while and said, "As for your fifth brother, please advise him to take a little more attention. Cai still used expedient measures to save Emperor Maode's life and avoid trouble in our Cai family, and then offend them and their husbands. Besides, nothing really happened between Cai and Emperor Maode, so don't be upset, well... Let your eldest lady visit Emperor Maode and bring me a message to Emperor Maode, and say that the Cai family will not make her feel embarrassed."
