Chapter 215 Big Light Bulb

Zhang Ren, the governor of Guangxi, came to Nanning in person, nominally to inspect the expansion of the Nanning River Port. In fact, everyone in Guangxi could guess his purpose, which must be to welcome the return of the great victory.

After all, the governor is the nominal superior of the governor. Generally speaking, when the governor takes office, it is already a very polite gesture for the governor to come out to greet him. Running nearly a thousand miles to greet him like this is obviously an exception.

But Zhang Ren felt that being pragmatic was indeed worthy of him making an exception.

Since this ordained minister took office, he has not caused him any trouble, and has solved a long list of troubles for him. Not only that, he even saved his life.

Now, he has made great contributions to the court, helped the emperor to avenge the "nine generations of revenge", and the country's prestige has been greatly enhanced!

So why shouldn't he welcome me personally?

Of course, the inspection of Nanning River Port is not just a show-off. It is indeed a major matter that requires attention.

This matter is still related to Gao Yintai: his grand plan to revitalize Guangxi's economy, the most critical transportation node is Nanning, where the left and right rivers converge. As the governor, Zhang Ren, of course, has to be concerned.

However, these can be ignored. It is only said that after Zhang Ren led a large number of Guangxi officials to welcome Gao pragmatism, they first went to Nanning city to hold a banquet to celebrate, and then invited Gao pragmatism to Qingxiu Mountain, the most beautiful place in Nanning.

, it is said that Gao Zhentai has been in Guangxi for nearly a year and has been extremely busy. Now that everything is in order, it is time for a few days of rest.

None of the local officials in Guangxi were invited by Zhang Futai, except Huang Zhiting who accompanied him all the way.

Zhang Ren originally didn't know about the personal relationship between Gao Yingshi and Huang Zhiting. He only knew that the two had traveled together for most of Guangxi. Later, Huang Zhiting and even Huang's Tusi inexplicably became Gao Yuntai's hardcore thugs.

At that time, Zhang Ren only thought that Gao Yintai's noble character had influenced the rebellious chieftains. When he met Huang Zhiting this time, he realized that the situation seemed more complicated - in the eyes of this chieftain Huang, besides Gao Yintai

Besides, there is no room for others at all. Even when the governor himself talks to her, her reaction is often a little slow. But as soon as Gao pragmatically speaks, she immediately pays full attention and is reluctant to even blink her eyes.

Zhang Futai was in his fifties, so if he still couldn't see any clues, he could only be said to be blind. However, he took a moment to look at these two people, but he had to nod. They really are a perfect match for each other.

If I have to say I have any regrets, it would be that there is indeed a gap between the family backgrounds of both parties.

If we really want to talk about history, the Huang family chieftain is certainly quite good, and has a longer history than the Gao family. But the family background cannot only be judged by history, but also by family status.

The Gao family is a sect of practical learning, not only "my family has a long history" (Gao Gong's words), but also the family of two generations of great Confucians - well, nowadays, Gao Qiuzhen may also be associated with the word "Great Confucianism", then

They are the great Confucians of the three generations.

This is not incredible, this is incredible!

In the Ming Dynasty, being rich is not considered noble, and even being a distinguished scholar is not considered noble. Only great Confucianism is the real dignity - scholars look up to them, and the world follows them.

Just like when Yang Shen was assigned to Yunnan, an article he wrote would spread all over the world immediately. As long as scholars can read his new work one day early, they will be proud of it and look forward to it.

This is called a great scholar, this is called nobility.

In the past, Shen Wansan was rich. How many scholars would take him seriously? Now that princes are noble, how many scholars would admire them?

But Zhang Ren knew that even if Gao Pragmatic resigned from his post and returned home, any scholar in the world would take the initiative to salute him and respect him by saying "high six poems" when they see him.

In the Ming Dynasty, only scholar status was the decisive factor in judging whether someone was noble or not.

As for the status of Gao Yuntai, it is really inferior to heaven...

However, Zhang Ren could think about this matter in his mind. He was an outsider and could not intervene on this matter. Besides, he did not invite Gao Pragmatic to visit Qingxiu Mountain just to meddle in these nosy matters. He wanted to ask Guangxi for advice. What to do next.

Ask for advice, really ask for advice.

He has seen enough of highly pragmatic methods, but everything else is easy to say. There is only one thing that he has to give in to, which is "economics" that the pragmatic school has often talked about in recent years.

Before the word "economy" became famous all over the world, it was usually explained as "managing the world and benefiting the people". The name of Emperor Taizong Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty came from this.

But after the word "Gao Longwen" resounded throughout the world, the word "economy" was given a new meaning.

According to Gao Pragmatic himself, the so-called economy is to create more abundant materials and distribute them in a better way. He even went further: Economy is the foundation and key goal of practical learning.

This has actually introduced practical learning to a new stage of development, and Zhang Ren seems to understand it somewhat.

Zhang Ren was not completely unfamiliar with the Shixue theory - it was not unusual for Confucians of this era, people from the Shixue school to know the views of the Xinxue school, and people from the Xinxue school to know the views of the Shixue school.

But even when Gao Gong was teaching practical studies, he would take the trouble to talk about the connotations and relationships of "qi" and "reason". However, Gao Gong was pragmatic and neither talked about "qi" nor reason. He almost only talked about "economy" .

He not only talks about it, but also puts it into practice and sets an example himself - Jinghua is the result of his practice.

It has only been ten years since the rise of Jinghua, but now it is probably strong enough to compete with the Yangzhou Salt Merchant Group. This is a fact that everyone knows.

In his policy in Gengchenke, he attributed all the ills of the world to "poverty", which everyone has seen (the number one scholar's scroll must be published to the world to show fairness), Zhang Ren was not originally from the real school. officials, but now I increasingly feel that Gao’s pragmatic views are reasonable.

The Confucian scholars at this time had not completely turned into the cynics of the Qing Dynasty. Zhang Ren felt that what Gao Jingshi said was reasonable, so he began to ponder the truth in it. And Gao Jingshi's series of victories in Guangxi confirmed that these principles were correct. Sex writes the best footnote.

Therefore, Zhang Ren would like to ask Gao Pragmatic for advice on how to develop this "economy" in Guangxi.

Zhang Ren regarded this matter as a "discussion on Tao", so he chose a place like Qingxiu Mountain. Although there is no later scenic spot "Ta Ying Tianchi" here - that pagoda was regarded as an ancient pagoda in later generations, but in fact it was built in

In the forty-sixth year of Wanli, it does not exist yet - but "Tianchi" still exists.

Moreover, there was once a wealthy businessman in Nanning who lived in a villa beside the Tianchi Lake in Qingxiu Mountain. Although Gao Jingshi, who had already seen the "world" at that time, didn't think it was big, it was enough to accommodate one or two hundred people.

However, this wealthy businessman later declined, and Tianchi Courtyard became an ownerless land. Since it was just at the corner of Nanning City, no bandits dared to occupy it, so it inexplicably became the "property" of Nanning Mansion. Naturally, Zhang Ren could

Borrowed it.

When Zhang Ren settled down and planned to go to Gao Pragmatic for discussion, he heard from his subordinates that Gao Yuntai and Miss Huang had taken people on a mountain tour.

Zhang Ren originally didn't want to be an eyesore, but Gao Pragmatic's tenure was short and he finally created such an environment suitable for discussing Taoism. It was not an option not to disturb him. He just smiled bitterly and said to himself: "It seems that I have to be a redundant person.

"

After asking again, it turned out that Gao Pingshi and his party went to Phoenix Ridge, so they also rushed there with others.

It has been said since ancient times that the phoenix in "Feng Qi Wu" is in Yongzhou, which is Nanning. Therefore, there are many place names related to phoenix in Nanning, and Fenghuangling must be one of them.

When Zhang Ren arrived, he didn't see anything inappropriate for children. Dozens of Gao family servants and a considerable number of Siming wolf soldiers were following them. How could it be inappropriate? Gao Pragmatic and Huang Zhiting were on the top of the mountain, facing the late spring mountain breeze.

, pointing down the mountain, talking and laughing.

Seeing Zhang Ren running so hard, the two of them seemed a little surprised, but they still came together to greet him.

"I'm going to accompany you for a moment. I'm disturbing the two of you." Zhang Ren said with a smile.

The two naturally connected, and then Gao Pragmatic asked Zhang Ren's purpose.

Zhang Ren came up and talked about business, so he said he wanted to see the scenery. He said that the scenery here was beautiful and it was a place where scholars and scholars should come.

Of course Gao pragmatic knew that he was talking nonsense, but as a scholar, sometimes you have to pretend to be romantic even if you are not romantic, so he smiled and said: "Since Futai is elegant, why not write a poem, so that it can be remembered by future generations.

?”

Zhang Ren didn't expect that he could clearly see his intention, but he still followed his words. He couldn't refuse, so he looked around and chanted: "The four seasons in the green mountains are always immortal, and the wandering Tianya feels that spring is good. I am carrying you with me

The spring scenery is coming up the mountain, and the mountain flowers are blooming to welcome the spring."

Then he smiled and pretended to sigh, and said: "I haven't written poetry for a long time, and I am very unfamiliar. I should ask you to tell me the truth about this matter. With your literary name, if you leave a poem here, it will be remembered by future generations."

Say." After saying that, he made a "please" gesture.

Gao Pingshi glanced at Huang Zhiting and saw that she was also looking at him eagerly, as if she had...an ulterior motive.

With a thought in his heart, he guessed her little thoughts and couldn't help but smile. He stopped refusing and walked to a place overlooking Nanning City. He pondered for a while and said: "

The mirror fish in Tianchi sinks into the abyss, and the jade cranes in the mountains stand in the sky.

Watching the flowers in the pine sea, the clouds are clear, the waterfalls are flowing, the fragrance is flowing, and the moon is hazy.

Wherever there is a single phoenix perched on a parasol tree, here two dragons are embraced by the city of Yong.

There is so much miasma in the south of the mountains, but the beauty is boundless in the dangerous peaks."

Huang Zhiting was still thinking about the meaning of this poem, but Zhang Ren was already laughing loudly and said: "What a saying: "There are many miasmas in the south of Lingnan, and the boundless beauty is in the dangerous peaks." A young man who seeks truth is ambitious and talented, and he should appreciate the beauty of the dangerous peaks!"

After a pause, he added: "Yongcheng is the ancient name of Nanning. The ancients said that the place where Fengqiwu lived was in Yongcheng. 'Lan Erlong' must mean that the left and right rivers converge in Nanning, right? Well, it is also a good sentence, but

...This 'falling waterfall and flowing fragrance' refers to that scenery, but I am ignorant of it."

Gao Pragmatic laughed, but did not answer, looking towards Huang Zhiting.

Huang Zhiting was a little confused at first, but suddenly she felt blessed. She thought of that day when she and "Zhang Buxu" were in the pool and were rushed into the underground river by the rapids of the waterfall. She suddenly understood. Thinking of that day, she was naked and had no clothes on her body.

Knowing how much he saw, he couldn't help but blush immediately.

Is the boundless beauty you mentioned really on a dangerous peak?

Isn't it the night of "Falling Waterfall and Fragrance"?
