The auspicious omen that "the Yellow River is clear" spread in Hexi, and news also came from Huangzhou. The water in Huangzhou was clear for hundreds of miles, all the way to Qingshui River in Lanzhou, but after reaching Jingyuan City in Huizhou, the water became turbid again, and the water became turbid all the way.
To be entered into the party item.
In other words, the Yellow River water is clear before entering the Loop, and then becomes turbid after entering the Loop.
This is like God opening his mouth to feed Hexi!
At this time, some good people discovered that the Haomen River, a tributary of the Yellow River, was actually extremely clear. This was a phenomenon that had existed a long time ago. In other words, the Haomen River had never been turbid, but it was also a tributary of the Yellow River!
The Haomen River is different from the Huangshui River. It originates from the Qilian Mountains and spans Ganzhou, Liangzhou, and all the way to the Huangshui River... Is the clarity of the Huangshui River due to the Haomen River?
So the people in Hexi began to spread the news that there was a saint in Hexi, so that Huang Datong cleared the river and cleaned the Huangshui, all the way to Lanzhou...
The Yellow River Qing is the Yellow River Qing in Hexi and has nothing to do with other places. This is unquestionable news. A saint has emerged from Hexi!
As for who it was, there were divergent opinions and speculations at first, but gradually, people focused on Ye An, and Ye An's legendary first half of his life was revealed again.
Many achievements such as offering auspiciousness, subduing Huanzhou, exterminating Bailian, etc. can already become the pillars of the Song Dynasty, not to mention the country-destroying achievements such as defeating the Eight-thorn Shagun?
In the common people's simple understanding, Ye An had such meritorious service but finally returned to Hexi. Instead of being promoted to a high-ranking official in Tokyo, he was suppressed because of his great achievements!
This is really not the public opinion led by Qin Mumu, but what the people of Hexi think themselves.
Therefore, with the cooperation of the newspapers, everyone believed that it was the imperial court's pearl who was secretly plotting and not knowing how to reuse talented people. This made Ye An refuse to accept the high salary of a high-ranking official in Tokyo City, and then chose to hang up and leave. It was also because of this that the Yellow River became clear.
With such a saint!
How in line with the picture of a tragic hero, how in line with the romance of a sage returning home, and how in line with the character of a saint.
As the discussion among the people gradually fermented, major newspapers in Hexi began to publish crazy serial reports, and there were also articles from scholars from all walks of life. Among them, the most discussed one was the argument that the saint in "The Yellow River is clear, the saint comes out" refers to Ye An
.
In Hexi, there is no one who does not support Ye An, and to a certain extent, even religions do. Taoists like him, and Confucians cannot do without him.
Even the school of thought that followed Legalism compared him to "the solitary lineage of Legalism and the legacy of sages." As for hundreds of craftsmen, they almost respected him as the "great son" of Mohism.
What has Ye An been doing all these years? It is to benefit the people of Hexi, and it is on this basis that Hexi has become so prosperous.
When Ye An was able to truly dominate, he was surprised to find that commercial development, industrial development and capital expansion would not have an impact on people's lives. On the contrary, they could even increase people's income and improve their quality of life.
Of course, the prerequisite for this is perfect systems and legal norms. You cannot expect capitalists to be kind-hearted, but you can use force to make them become "good-hearted" people...
This is the case in Hexi right now. All the interests of capital are tied together. Although the largest firm is no longer Puhui Firm, "Hexi Firm" has replaced it and has become the largest firm in Hexi. Of course, it is also a government-owned firm.
In fact, Ye An has mastered the most complete industrial chain in Hexi. The combination of Hexi's government-owned factories, businesses, and Liangzhou Kuaiyi is a giant and government-owned capital that no business can compete with.
Government-owned companies and factories have a large number of competitors, but they also have a large number of partners. Today, everyone is competing for production, but tomorrow they may be sitting together having a drink and talking, thinking about how to cooperate to reduce their sales burden.
This is also the fundamental reason why Ye An insists on opening up the business environment. Many people in Hexi think that everything should be turned into government-run factories and businesses, but Ye An knows what this "big pot rice" will look like without a competitive environment.
.
Therefore, he was firmly opposed to taking the road of government-run monopoly from the beginning, and opened up a free business environment to allow common people, individuals, and merchants from other countries and regions to enter Hexi. Only in this way can Hexi's characteristics be better reflected.
Inclusion and competitiveness.
It can be said that the shopkeepers, stewards, workers, and clerks of government-owned factories and businesses are all working and serving desperately to maintain the longevity of the government-owned brand.
The common people have great trust in the products produced by government-owned factories, and they also have great trust in the industry of government-owned companies.
Because this kind of trust is essentially trust in Ye An, and now that there is an auspicious sign of "the Yellow River clears, and the saint comes out", the people naturally regard Ye An as the born saint.
Some people even said bluntly: "Did you see it? I have long said that Yehou is our saint in Hexi. Doesn't it come true now?"
"When did he say that?!" The neighbor next to him curled his lips in dissatisfaction, but was quickly interrupted by another person: "This guy really said that he drank too much at Lao Wang's wedding banquet last year.
I said this when I received my first-year bonus."
"Look, look! Now God has confirmed what I said. Isn't Yehou our saint in Hexi?"
"Who says it's not the case! All three of my children have entered school, and now the youngest has been in elementary school for two years!"
This is the case in Hexi. As long as people are chatting, they will bring the conversation to their own lives, and once it comes to life, they can't help but think about someone's good fortune.
In just a few days, Ye An became a "sage" in Hexi, and his reputation spread to all directions just like "Yellow River Qing".
Liangzhou City is known as the place where merchants gather, and it is not called the land of salty connections from all countries for nothing. The merchants of the Song Dynasty were shocked when they heard about it. Even the merchants of the Great Food Country were saying that a "Mohammed" appeared in Hexi. They
When I was far away in Basishagon, I heard the people there mention Ye An's name.
On the other hand, Dangxiang and the merchants of the Liao Dynasty felt that there was a good show to watch. How could those bearded men in the west know the significance of the saint's appearance in Hexi? They were simply competing with the Central Plains for superiority.
"When the Yellow River is clear, saints will come out", this is the true auspiciousness that all dynasties have been pursuing since the Han Dynasty. Just like "when the river comes out of the picture, the Luo River comes out of the book", it heralds the prosperity and strength of a dynasty.
And now, in a corner like Hexi, there is an auspicious omen representing the prosperity of civil society and the birth of a saint. Can the Song Dynasty break up with Hexi?!
What the Han family cares most about is face and reputation. They should never forget the majesty of a great power. Even if they pay tribute to the Liao Dynasty, they still have to be pretentious about every word of their name for the sake of their reputation. What's more, Hexi has praised Ye An as a "sage"
"!
Tuoba Ao and Yelu Dalian met in a restaurant. The two had a good relationship, mainly because Hexi belonged to the Han family in name, so Yao Song was closer to Hexi and had little interaction with these two people.
It's just that this time is different from the past. Under Tuoba Ao's surprised eyes, Yelu Daliang stood up and invited Yao Song out from the back hall...
