Chapter 1503: Fly when you are full

Sima Guang believed that in order to solve various problems in the Song Dynasty, Su You had no choice but to join the government. Although he was very smart, he ultimately delayed his progress in learning and theory and did not reach the height he could have reached. It was really a pity.

It was also a loss for the Song Dynasty.

So he wrote a letter to Su Chi, saying that God bless the Song Dynasty, and now he has sent you again. Your elders sacrificed themselves in order to create an environment where people in the world can study knowledge with peace of mind.

You must cherish it, make good progress, and don’t let down your little brother’s efforts.

After Su Chi received the letter, Alexander forwarded it to Su You.

Su You couldn't help but laugh and cry after seeing it.

Many scholar-bureaucrats in the Song Dynasty also had a cute side in their characters. Although Sima Guang was rigid and stubborn, he really spared no effort in treating the younger generations he valued.

There is also a small branch of the School of Classics and Philosophy, which is the Western Philosophy Hall.

Courot and Alp brought a large number of Western works. After so many years of translation by the two, they have been basically completed, so they have also become the object of research.

In addition, there are two branches: Buddhism and Taoism, which is why there are still monks and Taoists in the college.

Apart from these colleges, the rest are all Su You's headquarters.

Jia Xian, Dean of Mathematics, Chen Zhaoming of the School of Astronomy, Zhao Zongyou of the School of Geography, Su Xiaomei of the School of Physics, Zhang Xiangzhong of the School of Chemistry, Qian Yi of the School of Medicine, Jia Quan of the School of Agriculture, Li Gonglin of the School of Fine Arts, and Zhang Qi of the School of Music.

Regardless of official rank, only academic achievements and influence are considered.

Shen Kuo was too enthusiastic about officialdom and weighed for a long time without making a decision. Finally, Su You gave up and said forget it, just wait for the next term.

There is also a school of economics under preparation, mainly because Zhang Dun left and Su You wanted to ask Shi Dongxiu to take charge. As a result, Shi Dongxiu was frightened and fell ill, and he got a lot of complaints from the twenty-seven mothers.

A businessman wants to be a distinguished person, I'm sorry you can figure it out!

Su You could only give up and lamented that the bourgeoisie did not realize it.

In fact, there was another person who could do it, Zhao Hao, but Su You didn't want to invite him.

Therefore, the School of Economics can only continue to "prepare to build".

In addition to these deans, there are countless talents under the university hall, such as Zhu Ji and Liu Yi in mathematics, and Tang Shenwei in medicine.

There are also science and engineering teachers from various colleges who have very profound knowledge, as well as senior engineers who will supervise the Department of Military Equipment Supervision, designers from the original Sitong Company, and various "interest group" talents scattered across the country.

Many people are multi-specialized and multi-talented, like Da Su, who is good at not only literature, but also fine arts, philosophy, classics, history, and even agriculture and tree planting.

For example, Shen Kuo, Su Song, and Chen Zhaoming were all proficient in astronomy, geography, physics, chemistry, mathematics, and biology.

Among them, Shen Kuo can also engage in farmland and water conservancy diplomacy, Su Song can also engage in diplomatic, medical, mechanical and official history, and Chen Zhaoming can also engage in ship and bridge design.

There is no need for students to worry. The Song Dynasty is not as luxurious as graduating college students to deliver food. The positioning of the Capital University is very precise, which is to cultivate high-level people in various academics.

College students in the science and engineering field don't have to worry about finding a job after graduation. Industries in various regions are facing great development, and now they need a large number of science and engineering talents.

There is no need to worry about liberal arts. Students from all walks of life can improve their academic performance in the Third Academy of Literature, Classics, History and Philosophy while waiting to take part in the imperial examination!

However, the subjects in each college were very heavy, so under Su You's strict control, only 300 students were admitted.

…

On the embankment of Bianqu, next to the Liuting Pavilion, Cai Jing was saying goodbye to his younger brother Cai Bian.

What the two discussed was a major matter for the imperial court.

Cai Bian looked at the boats going down the long embankment, and then looked at the concrete embankment with dense willow shades: "These willow trees were planted by Situ when he was constructing Luobian Canal, right? In ten years, they have grown so big."

Cai Jing said: "My brother is trying to imitate the constant temperature. It's like this when I come to Ichiban. How can people feel embarrassed?"

Cai Bian smiled and said: "Brother, you are too worried. I am the son-in-law of Xianggong Anshi. This time I was able to get Situ to work hard to keep my father-in-law's status and reputation. Not to mention, he also recommended me as an envoy to Liao. I am too old."

errand."

"Nowadays, the relationship between Song and Liao is different from the past. This envoy may be the most comfortable one in history."

"But Lu Huiqing is so miserable. Even Zhang Shangying was promoted to deputy envoy and was able to be employed. However, my father-in-law's former right-hand man ended up being beaten and ordered to relocate to Jianzhou."

"Brother, I heard that Sima Xianggong wanted to resume his service, and everyone else advised him to do so. Only brother said that he could resume his duties in five days from Kaifeng?"

Cai Jing hesitated for a moment: "Sima Gong sent a letter to Kaifeng Mansion to ask if the officer could be reinstated. As a governor, Brother Yu can't tell lies with his eyes open, right?"

"For Kaifeng, it doesn't matter whether you are exempt from military service or poor service."

"It can even be said that in central Sichuan, Kaifeng, and Zhejiang, it doesn't matter whether you are on official duty or exempted from service."

"So I told Sima Gong that each of the two counties of Kaifeng Prefecture would appoint a thousand people, and they could all resume their duties within five days."

Cai Bian thought for a moment and realized that what his brother said was true.

There is no shortage of money in these places. No matter what kind of service they are, the salary of the servants can be guaranteed. Just like when Su You opened the Bian Canal, the people not only did not resist it, but were very enthusiastic about it.

Why? Because not only did Su You pay them enough wages and three meals a day, but they were also given land in the north of the city after the labor service was completed!

The devil wouldn't want to!

Cai Bian said: "But brother, doesn't this strengthen Sima Junshi's heart? What do you want Situ to think?"

Cai Jing didn't have any unnatural expression: "Sima Jun is already in charge of the government, and he can become the prime minister with just one imperial edict. But now it seems that Situ is unwilling to be ranked before Sima and Lu Gong."

After speaking, he shook his head: "I am still as humble as ever, and it is even better now. Even Kaifeng Mansion has withdrawn."

"Does my brother think that I want to follow Sima Junshi and consolidate my political achievements, while turning my back on Situ?"

Cai Bian stared into Cai Jing's eyes, as if he wanted to see through his heart: "Isn't it?"

Cai Jing smiled calmly: "As I said, I am the Governor of Kaifeng, and I am going to the peak to ask questions. If I don't answer truthfully, that's my problem. And if I answer truthfully, I won't blame Situ even if he comes back."

Cai Bian stared at Cai Jing for a while: "Brother, Situ may not be in a hurry for this term, but there will eventually be one, or even several terms."

Cai Jing asked: "Oh? When you were at the residence of Prime Minister Anshi, you were even picky about Da Su's writing, and you also ridiculed Situ for his outrageous words."

Cai Bian blushed: "At that time...well, Situ was against Prime Minister Anshi at that time, and everyone in the Prime Minister's family thought they were sworn in, but they never considered whether our policies really had hidden dangers from a national perspective."

At this point, he finally puffed up his chest: "A gentleman's faults are like the eclipses of the sun and the moon. If you make mistakes, you can correct them. There is no greater good."

Picking up the wine glass: "Never forget the past, the master of the future. Sima Junshi, brother, really can't you just slow down for a moment or two?"

Cai Jing also picked up the wine glass: "I have been with Situ for a long time and know his character."

"If I deliberately delayed and lied about government affairs because of a certain faction, in order to achieve the goals of such a faction, would you really not see through it as a Situ? Would you really be happy as a Situ?"

After speaking, he raised his cup and touched it with Cai Bian, who was already stunned: "The system is the system. Situ often said that people who enter officialdom are just dancing with shackles and walking on the narrow road. Don't set the worst for future generations."

role model."

"Do you know why he admires Zhang Zihou so much?" Cai Jing took a sip of wine: "The late emperor wanted to appoint an old man from Qiandi. Cai Chizheng wanted to do it, but Zhang Zihou couldn't argue."

Cai Bian somewhat understood: "At that time, the late emperor still obeyed Zhang Zihou, but he muttered, 'You must not do anything you want to do.' Zhang Zihou immediately protested: 'It's okay not to do anything you want to do!'"

Cai Jing's eyes turned to the busy Bianqu: "Yes... you can't do anything you want to do."

"However, the reason why Shilin is superior to Situ and inferior to Zhangdun is because Zhangdun used it to restrain the late emperor, while Situ used it to restrain himself."

After saying that, he shook his head: "This is a difference in realm and cannot be compared."

Cai Bian looked at Bianqu: "It's not satisfying to be a high-ranking official or an emperor, so what's the fun in that person's life?"

Cai Jing said with a smile: "I still have a day to spare. With a pot of fine wine, I can enjoy the prosperity of the river with a few close friends and relatives."

Cai Bian also smiled and shook his head: "Brother, are there really such people in the world?"

Seeing Cai Jing's playful look, Cai Bian couldn't help but be surprised: "Indeed, it was my foolish brother who made a mistake."

The two brothers once again turned to other things. They chatted for a while about the situation in Liao Kingdom, and about the Dongshengzhou fleet that set off again this year. They also talked about the romance in Beijing. Of course, they also recited poems and composed poems.

.

Cai Bian's calligraphy is also rare in the Song Dynasty. His calligraphy pen is second to none. According to the judgment of the calligraphers of the Song Dynasty, it is "elegant".

In fact, Su You's characters are also elegant, but one is "Duanya" and the other is "Yiya".

To put it bluntly, one is less changeable and the other is more changeable. More change is better than less change, which is the difference between a master and a layman.

After a round of drinking, the brothers accumulated a lot of poems. While holding the wine, Cai Jing admired his brother's works and saw a small poem written on one of the flower paper.

For ten years, the green embankment has kept the willow fat, but the long time has destroyed the hair on the temples.

In the end, purple swallows will return in spring. Don’t imitate the hungry eagle that flies when it is full.

The poem collects some of the emotions of the two brothers while they were drinking. In the end, they confidently stated that one day they would return to the capital like a swallow, maybe wearing a purple robe, and they could not imitate Lu Huiqing and behave like a villain.

Finally gained notoriety.

The poem also contains a subtle message of persuasion to his brother.
