"It may be uncontrollable if you do it, but you will definitely not succeed if you don't do it. Maybe this new economic model will change the Song Dynasty. Don't think about crossing the capital stage. Our previous doctrine will appear. This is the most consistent with the Han family.
For the common people, I believe it is only a matter of time!"
As the conversation continued, the topic was led to the future, and the two of them gradually became silent.
Looking at the high-erected medicine-haired puppets forming beautiful fireworks in the sky, Qin Mumu whispered: "It's time to train our own people! We can't set up a school now. After we have accumulated enough original capital, our
The college should also be built.”
A happy smile appeared on Ye An's face. In a sense, Qin Mumu still supported him in changing the world, but he didn't want to act too hastily, but wanted to lay a good foundation.
"Don't worry, in a decade or so those historical celebrities will have grown up, and then our college will be able to absorb the most talented young people of this era. It's awesome just thinking about it!"
Although Qin Mumu didn't understand history as well as Ye An, many of her ideas and concepts could inspire Ye An. The couple planned their future in the small attic. After sorting out their clues, the two of them had a new relationship.
Target.
So in the early morning, with Qin Mumu's "Come on!", Ye An took himself into the identity of an official and rode his family's ox cart to the palace.
In the morning, they had to discuss the annual coins and documents with Han Chong'an, so the time for entering the palace for the duet was advanced. Fortunately, it was not a royal court today, so Liu E and Zhao Zhen were only in the Zichen Palace to accept the memorial from officials of Zhongshu Province and Menxia Province.
Report, it won't take long.
Ye An believed that Liu E had discussed everything that should be discussed with the high-ranking civil servants in the court yesterday. She probably had to explain some things to herself today. After all, she was the one in charge of the court now. Anything that insulted the prestige of the Song Dynasty would not be tolerated.
The disgrace on her face is also caused by her improper governance.
Since ancient times, the Han Dynasty has been dominated by men. Once a woman takes the throne, or even becomes emperor, special attention will be paid to her, and everyone will fix their eyes on her.
Of course Liu E wanted to leave a good reputation. Look at those strong women in history. Is there any one who doesn't care about her reputation?
Of course, reputation is always subordinate to power... If Wu Zetian really cared about reputation so much, she probably would not have ascended the throne and proclaimed herself emperor.
Sure enough, after Ye An entered the palace, he was led by the chamberlain to Chongwenyuan, which was the royal library. Because there were many books and materials, a secret pavilion was specially built in it.
It has to be said that Taizong still attached great importance to culture, and it was from his beginning that he significantly improved the status of literati.
The purpose of setting up the secret pavilion seems to be to select rare books, calligraphy and paintings from the three libraries and complete the Tianjia collection system, but in fact, it is often used to discuss state affairs with the important ministers of the court, and of course it is also to weaken the power of the prime minister.
There are not only books in the secret pavilion, but also a large amount of historical materials. Whatever the emperor wants to check here, it can be said that he has it at his fingertips.
Regarding Emperor Taizong, Ye An has always felt that there is a mysterious haze shrouding his body. Not many people in the current generation can see him clearly, let alone future generations.
This old "Second One" has always been shrouded in the halo of Song Taizu, the boss, and is full of a large number of anecdotes and stories. In later generations, many people will not even think of Emperor Taizong when they mention the Song Dynasty.
I know his story very well.
The Golden Chamber Alliance he created himself was considered a success in public opinion, but it was indeed unnecessary. If you want to be justified and win the hearts of the people, then govern the world well. Isn't it "here" to do something in name only?
"No three hundred taels of silver"?! So many civil servants still feel disgusted.
As for other anecdotes, most of them are based on false rumors. What kind of "lucky little Zhou Empress", the dignity of the king of a country, as for him, a "good-faced" emperor, to bully a woman who disobeyed his orders?
If she is raised in the palace, she must be the emperor's woman? The emperor's mother, sister, and even wet nurse are sometimes raised in the palace...
On the contrary, many allusions and anecdotes are actually good and positive. The allusion of "opening the book is beneficial" comes from Song Taizong, and the familiar "helping people in times of need" all come from this emperor with a very low sense of existence.
In Ye An's view, Song Taizong's fault was not that he snatched his brother's throne. Since he had the ability to snatch the throne, he should have the ability to secure the throne. Facts have proved that Song Taizong was secure, and his descendants were also secure.
His biggest problem is that he is "talented but not worthy of ambition", which can also be said to be "ambitious and talented". Politically, he is pretty good and has various blessings, but his military talent is really worrying about his IQ.
Because of his status, and because he had a brilliant brother in front of him, Zhao Guangyi's self-esteem was magnified like never before. It is true that the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun is an important place for military strategists. It was also the right move for the Song Dynasty to send troops to the Northern Expedition, but from employing people to sending troops
, has Zhao Guangyi done everything from war preparations to selecting generals?
War is not something that can be carried out with a slap on the head and an imperial decree. It requires huge material preparations and complex operations.
Although the failure of the Northern Expedition was partly due to the generals, isn't the problem with the generals not the fault of you, the "commander-in-chief", in hiring people?!
You can continue to work hard on things that you are not capable of doing, and wait for the arrival of someone who can do it. This is not a bad thing for the Song Dynasty. It is better than losing all the money accumulated at the beginning of the founding of the country.
The less capable a person is and the greater his ambition, the greater the harm he will cause.
Looking at the old chamberlain who was about to enter the coffin at the door of the secret pavilion, Ye An felt that he must be as extraordinary as a "sweeping monk", but when he stretched out his hand and quietly took the reward money from Ye An's hand, Ye An felt
An then knew that this guy really had no luck in the palace, and he was even a little rusty in his "techniques".
Think about it, who are the people who come to the Secret Pavilion? Almost all of them are young and noble officials. If you ask them for money today, you will be able to do "fishing law enforcement" tomorrow. Do you believe it?
As for asking for money from important ministers of the dynasty...it's not asking for money but "life"! Civil servants have always been extremely wary of their servants, and they will shout for beating or killing if they violate the rules.
When Ye An arrived at the Secret Pavilion, he happened to see Lan Jizong coming from the Zichen Palace. He pulled Ye An towards the north and said as he walked: "The saint asked you to wait at the Yuqing Zhaoying Palace. Today the Liao Envoy will be at the Secret Pavilion."
I met the saint in the Zhaoying Palace of the Yuqing Dynasty! Also, Xia Song has already set off for the Liao Dynasty, with Yan Jishizhong as the deputy envoy for this negotiation!"
Yan Shu?!
This is a good relationship. Ye An knows Yan Shu's abilities and his intentions, but he admires Yan Shu more. In terms of writing skills, he is much more suitable than him. This should be arranged by Liu E.
, let him be responsible for correspondence.
Ye An was in favor of anyone who could lighten his burden, but this was his first time going to Yuqing Zhaoying Palace. When he was about to calm down, he was caught off guard and saw another side of the Song Dynasty!
What is luxury? What is grand scale?
No wonder there are not many records about Yuqing Zhaoying Palace in later generations. It is too scary. The entire palace complex occupies a large area of land in the outer city, and its scale exceeds many royal palaces in later generations.
This is an unprecedented palace complex. Lan Jizong naturally understands it. He looked at the stunned Ye An and said softly: "The construction of Yuqing Palace took eight years, including the Palace of Longevity and Chongshou and 2,610 palaces.
The house costs approximately 100 million taels of silver."
Ye An was surprised that the old Song family had always been famous for being "diligent and thrifty".
This palace cost two years of the Song Dynasty's annual income. Its cost was huge and its level of luxury even exceeded Qin Shihuang's Afang Palace. No wonder some people called it "magnificent and magnificent, indescribably magnificent, draining the world's talents and damaging the lives of the people."
Of course, this palace also completely ruined the reputation of Song Zhenzong. No wonder the courtiers of the Song Dynasty often strongly opposed it when they heard that the Yuqing Zhaoying Palace needed to be repaired.
Such extravagant palaces were a huge burden for the Song Dynasty. Repairs and decorations cost money, and the utensils in them also cost money, not to mention the large number of gardens, rockeries, artificial lakes, etc.
What a huge expense this is!
If it had been broken earlier, it would have been demolished. If it were erected there, not only would the Tian family be disgraced, but the officials would also be disgraced. For them, this would be a shameful past, and it would be evidence that the officials did not do their best to assist the king!
