Chapter 292 Adding to the flames

Bianliang, outer city district.

Lao Chen was walking back with his wife and two other families. The faces of the three families were all in high spirits. For them, it can be said that a major event was completed today. For these people, what?

Military affairs and national politics have never been issues they have to consider. They just live in the present. For Lao Chen and the others, the most important thing now is the food court, so they will do it for themselves.

They couldn't sleep all night long because of snacks. Fortunately, today these three families have passed Lu Yao's test, which means that after the new Cuju competition starts, they can set up stalls next to the Bird's Nest Stadium to sell their own snacks.

.

Especially Lao Chen. In addition to getting Lu Yao's approval for the rice bags he made today, he also got the avatar of the main person in charge of this food court. In the final analysis, he is a role similar to a team leader.

.Lao Chen knew in his heart that although when this food court first opened, he only had himself and two friends, and three families made three kinds of delicacies, but there were only three kinds of food, so it was a bit far-fetched to call it a food court.

, and according to Lu Yao's intention, a real food street will eventually be built near the Bird's Nest Stadium. Therefore, by then, the food-making family will not be just the three of them. This, Lao

When Chen looked at the renovated production base, he already discovered that there was actually a lot of free space on the first and second floors, and at most three or four stoves could be made. However, no matter how many households were added in the future, the formation of

In the true sense of the word, there must be only one person in charge of the food street, and that is Lao Chen, whom everyone just elected unanimously.

At first, Lao Chen was somewhat resistant to becoming the person in charge. Everyone knew that Lao Chen's son Chen Chen was about to become Lu Yao's housekeeper, and the food court and hot pot restaurant below Lu Yao needed to follow suit.

Chen Chen made the connection. Although Lu Yao did not charge any fees for the food court, the communication between Lao Chen and the people in the royal family, as well as some problems that would be encountered after the food court opened, were all required.

When Chen Chen was approached for feedback, the father and son would have to communicate from different standpoints. Old Chen represented the merchants, while Chen Chen was more of a middleman between the royal family, Lu Yao and the merchants.

The relationship between father and son might become awkward because of their different identities, but Lu Yao didn't have any doubts about this. He felt that Lao Chen was completely qualified for this. Lao Chen might have agreed on a whim at the time.

But now that I think about it, I should discuss it with Chen Chen when I get home. I definitely can't change my mind and have already agreed, but the two parties still need to work out a good way of communication.

But no matter what, the snack production of these three families has been qualified. The next step is to wait until the day of the new Cuju competition. They have arranged the work earlier and started making snacks. When Lao Chen thought of this, it could not help but appear in his mind.

It’s time to earn your first pot of gold with rice bags.

As for Lu Yao, after finishing the assessment at the food street, he followed Tangxi to check out the hot pot restaurant that was still under construction.

Compared with the food court that opens at the same time as the Cuju competition, the construction progress of the hot pot restaurant is much slower. After all, it is a large-scale restaurant. It starts from scratch, step by step, and the foundation is the most important. For this reason

, Lu Yao did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to hire craftsmen, including of course the craftsmen Zhang Maocai introduced to him later, hoping that they could work together to complete this hot pot restaurant. According to the progress, this hot pot restaurant should be

It will be open for business when the second round of the official Cuju competition begins. Now, it should be said that except for the decoration project of the hot pot restaurant under construction, all other things have been completed. The ingredients are supplied here by Pan Yuanwu

The vegetable garden and Zhao Hu's exclusive hot pot area serve as support, and on the staff side, there are Tang Xi's brothers and Yang Tao, the leader of the Tigers who were personally selected by Lu Yao, as service staff and managers of the hot pot restaurant. And in the end

In terms of key marketing, Lu Yao also found Zhang Maocai, who can be said to be a know-it-all in the outer city. With him, the passenger flow should be guaranteed.

On the way to the hot pot restaurant, Tangxi was still a little worried about Yang Tao. Although Tangxi definitely supported Lu Yao's decision, although Tangxi recognized Yang Tao, he felt that his brothers might not be able to compete with him in the hot pot restaurant.

Get along well with Yang Tao. After all, their tempers are the same as Yang Tao's, they are both straight-tempered, and as they were escorts, they are easy to get along with and have very hot tempers. Tangxi is a little afraid of any conflict between his brothers and Yang Tao.

Lu Yao felt that Tang Xi's worries were reasonable, but he had already given guidance on Yang Tao's temper and character before. He believed that Yang Tao would do a good job as the person in charge of the hot pot restaurant. On the other hand, in order to appease Tang Xi,

Lu Yao also said that if conflicts really arise, he will arrange for the brothers in Tangxi to go elsewhere and not work in the hot pot restaurant.

Tangxi was relieved to hear that Lu Yao had guaranteed his brothers. Lu Yao could still understand Tangxi very well, just like Chen Chen was very attentive to the work of the grassroots team members. Tangxi's brothers followed Tangxi.

There are actually more days, so I will definitely consider them.

As the two talked, they came to the door of the hot pot restaurant that was being renovated. Lu Yao saw many craftsmen working in the shop. There was a thin man at the door, who seemed to be directing their work. Lu Yao recalled it.

, after reaction, this person should be one of the two craftsmen Zhang Maocai introduced to him. The man turned around and saw Lu Yao coming, and immediately came up to him. Lu Yao briefly asked about the situation, because it was being renovated, and he didn't want to do it because of it.

His appearance delayed the work of the craftsmen, so he did not choose to go inside to check. However, Lu Yao still had strict requirements on whether the completion could be completed on time. The craftsman responded to Lu Yao's inquiry with full confidence,

This hot pot restaurant has now completed 50% of the project. Before the second round of the new Cuju competition starts, the hot pot restaurant will definitely be able to complete the decoration.

Lu Yao thought to himself, in the beginning, it was the craftsmen who helped him design the bank.

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

He has been leading the decoration of this hot pot restaurant, and the two people Zhang Maocai introduced are equivalent to joining this small group later, but now it seems that the craftsman in front of him has become a small boss here.

.This shows that this person is indeed a good hand in construction and decoration. Only those who have real skills will convince those people. In this case, leaving the decoration of the hot pot restaurant to this person will have good results, so he also asked him.

After a few words, he left.

Today is two days before the start of the new Cuju competition. Tomorrow, Lu Yao will go to the Bird's Nest Stadium with Zhe Kexing for a final inspection. Today is almost noon. Lu Yao thinks that he should still have half a day's rest.

Time, and during this half day, he didn't want to do anything, so he took Tangxi back to his mansion to prepare for a good rest in the afternoon.

Who would have thought that when Lu Yao and Tang Xi returned to Lu Mansion, they would catch up with Lu Xu coming back from the morning dynasty. The carriage stopped at the gate of Lu Mansion, and the people in the car got out. It seemed that the morning dynasty was a bit long, and more

What surprised Lu Yao was that after Lu Xu came down, another person got out of the car.

Lu Yao took a closer look and saw that it was Yan Shu, but the next second, Lu Yao already knew the reason why Yan Shu came to find him.

Naturally, Yan Shu also saw Lu Yao. After they arrived at the house, Lu Xu directly arranged for Yan Shu to discuss things with Lu Yao in the study without participating. Recalling that after the morning court today, Yan Shu took the initiative to find Lu Yao.

, suggested that he had something to discuss with Lu Yao, so Lu Xu asked Yan Shu to get on his carriage. After all, if Yan Shu came to the Lu Mansion in a big way, it would still be too eye-catching, although the emperor would definitely know about it in the end.

, but Yan Shu still doesn’t want others to know that he is so close to the Lu family.

As for what Yan Shu wanted to discuss with Lu Yao, Lu Xu didn't ask. He didn't know it now, but he knew that Lu Yao should be very clear about it. Most of it was what Lu Yao said when he went to the Prime Minister's Mansion last time.

related.

On Lu Yao's side, he brought Yan Shu to the study. Yan Shu stood up first and expressed his apology to Lu Yao. The reason was very simple, that is, Yan Shu invited Wang Anshi in advance without informing Lu Yao.

After arriving in Bianliang City, he was taken directly to his Prime Minister's Mansion, and Wang Anshi must go to Lu Yao's Mansion. Yan Shu knew that Lu Yao would definitely know about this matter in the end, so he came here to inform Lu Yao today.

On the surface, Yan Shu came to express his apology, but Lu Yao was not a fool. He knew that Yan Shu must be here because of Wang Anshi's affairs, so he also said that since there were only two of them in the study, Yan Shu might as well speak directly.

So, Yan Shu briefly talked about the impression Wang Anshi left on him. Yan Shu felt that this person was really a rare talent, and he planned to recommend Wang Anshi to His Majesty. Lu Yao could see that he was recommending

In terms of talents, Yan Shu is quite discerning, and with Wang Anshi's ability, he will become a great talent sooner or later. Lu Yao and Yan Shu are just adding fuel to the fire.

Now Yan Shu would never have imagined that Wang Anshi would eventually become the prime minister like himself. When it comes to political contributions, Yan Shu played an important role during the Song-Xia War. Although he was not as vigorous as Wang Anshi's reform, Yan Shu could be regarded as a very good person.

A qualified prime minister and highly trusted by Zhao Zhen, Lu Yao also had some impressions of Yan Shu's departure in history. In the first month of the second year of Zhihe (1055), Yan Shu's condition worsened, and Renzong wanted to visit. Yan Shu knew

After that, he immediately sent someone to report on his behalf: "I am old and ill, and will recover soon. It is not worth worrying about, Your Majesty." On the 28th of the first lunar month, Yan Shu died of illness at the age of sixty-five. Although Renzong came in person

I went to pay homage to him, but I still felt sorry for not being able to visit him when he was ill, especially because he had to leave the court for two days. The posthumous title was "Yuan Xian" and was written in the first seal of Yan Shu's inscription.

The four words "Stele of Old Learning" are included. From this, we can see Yan Shu's importance in the court and his achievements as prime minister.

In terms of literature, Yan Shu and Wang Anshi's achievements are equally matched. Although Yan Shu is not listed as one of the Eight Great Masters of the Tang and Song Dynasties, his attainments in poetry are definitely unparalleled.

Yan Shu was eager to learn since he was a child and was good at poetry. He continued to study diligently and tirelessly in his later years. He made many achievements and contributions in literature. Among them, his achievements in poetry were the most outstanding. Yan Shu's poetry absorbed the influence of the "Huajian School" of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

" and Feng Yansi's elegant and flowing style of poetry created the graceful style of poetry in the Northern Song Dynasty. Feng Xu's "Hao'an Lunci" called him "the first ancestor of the Yisheng family in the Northern Song Dynasty" and "founded the Jiangxi school" with Ouyang Xiu. Ye Jiaying, an expert in Chinese classical poetry

It is believed that Yan Shu's status in the history of Ci is mainly to inherit the past and connect the future. With his status as a famous official and a large number of excellent Ci works, he has driven the prosperity of the Ci world, that is, "Linchuan (Yan Shu)'s pearls and jade inherit Yangchun, and expand the new artistic conception in Ci"

.

On the one hand, most of Yan Shu's poems were written to entertain the guests and entertain the guests. Some of Yan Shu's poems describe the love between men and women, spring flowers and autumn moon, and some express grief at spring, separation and separation, and most of them have fresh words and are elegant.

Qi. His poems also incorporate his own subjective emotions and life experiences, and have the temperament of a scholar-official. He can be said to be a transitional person from "the poems of Ling Gong" to "the poems of scholar-bureaucrats". Yan Shu was also a poet who specialized in Ling Ci in the Northern Song Dynasty and became famous for it.

The first person.

On the other hand, Yan Shu's poetry style is gentle, graceful and elegant, his language is clear and natural, and his melody is gentle and harmonious. He is good at capturing momentary scenes, conveying emotions on the spot, and constructing lingering and pathos love poems. Many of them inherit the style and form of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and are especially inspired by Feng Yansi.

The style of poetry had a greater influence. I learned from Feng's poetry, which was bright and clear, and got rid of the powdery atmosphere of Huajian School, and made many innovations.

Compared with Yan Shu, he was more fond of romance, and most of Wang Anshi's poems were related to his political career. From a literary perspective, Wang Anshi's works have outstanding achievements in poetry, prose, and lyrics. Poetry and prose developed in the mid-Northern Song Dynasty

The innovation movement was strongly promoted in his hands, and he contributed to the eradication of the glitz and glamor that was so popular in the early Song Dynasty. However, Wang Anshi's literary ideas overemphasized "practicality" and often underestimated the role of artistic forms. His dissatisfaction

There are few poems and essays, and they often appear to be too heavy on arguments and reasoning, thin and lacking in image and charm. There are also some poems that discuss Zen and Buddhism, which are obscure and dry, but they are not lost.

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Everyone's style. Wang Anshi's poetry can be roughly divided into two stages based on Wang Anshi's second resignation as prime minister in the ninth year of Xining (1076). There are obvious differences in content and style. The early creation is mainly about "The Rules of Unfairness"

"Ming" pays attention to social reality and reflects the pain of the lower class people. It has a very clear tendency and a straightforward style. After withdrawing from politics in his later years, his mood gradually became dull. A large number of poems describing scenes and chanting objects took the place of the early political poems.

In his later period of creation, he "worked after being poor" and devoted himself to the pursuit of the art of poetry. He focused on refining meaning and rhetoric, was meticulous in wording, used words carefully, was precise in parallelism, was subtle and profound, and was profound and unhurried. With his rich and far-reaching style, he became unique in the poetry world at that time.

, known as "Wang Jing Gong Body" in the world.

There are about 20 of Wang Anshi's poems in existence today, which can be roughly divided into two categories: expressing emotions and explaining Buddhist principles, "thin and elegant, washing away the old habits of the Five Dynasties". His lyrical poems, describing things and expressing feelings, mostly choose the vastness and vastness

, the image of Danyuan and simplicity creates a unique emotional world of scholar-bureaucrats and literati. His phrase "Guizhixiang·Jinling Nostalgic" is bold and melancholy, the same as Fan Zhongyan's "The Proud Fisherman·The Different Scenery in Autumn"

, jointly pioneered bold and unrestrained poetry and exerted a good influence on the later poetry world.

It is precisely because both of them have made outstanding contributions in politics and poetry, and because Wang Anshi is unyielding and upright, that Lu Yao feels that regardless of whether Yan Shu meets Wang Anshi to inform him or not, it is reasonable for Wang Anshi to be appreciated by Yan Shu.

And now, since Yan Shu personally visited him about Wang Anshi's affairs, it shows that he really wants to let Wang Anshi take a further step in the court. Perhaps Yan Shu also understands in his heart that Wang Anshi may be more suitable for power than Fan Zhongyan. The next Xianggong

There is a high probability that it is Bao Zheng, but who will it be after Bao Zheng? Yan Shu can be regarded as worrying about Zhao Zhen's subsequent employment.

Thinking of this, Lu Yao, who understood Yan Shu's intentions, signaled Yan Shu to wait for him in the study, and then returned to his room. After a while, when Lu Yao returned to the study again, he had several manuscripts in his hand.

"This is..." Yan Shu saw the manuscript in Lu Yao's hand and thought it was another idea written by Lu Yao. Lu Yao did not answer, but first gave the manuscript to Yan Shu to read. The more Yan Shu looked at it, the more he felt that

Surprisingly, what is written on this paper is a strategy called war to promote peace, and this strategy comprehensively analyzes the current situation between Song and Xia, and how to deal with this thorny issue from the perspective of the Song Dynasty. The article

He did not exaggerate the strength of the Song Dynasty, but was very rational and objective. Several of his analysis of the Song Dynasty were similar to the suggestions given by Zhang Feng at the previous night banquet at Fan Lou. However, the article also pointed out that war was inevitable.

There is no way to avoid it. Although he did not put forward some specific military strategies like Lu Yao, the idea of ​​​​promoting peace through war is actually very consistent with the current situation of the Song Dynasty.

After Yan Shu finished reading the manuscript, he turned to look at Lu Yao. His first impression was that this thing should have been thought up by Lu Yaoxin, because Lu Yao did not express this idea at the night banquet before, and this manuscript also had exactly the same idea.

There was no specific military strategy, so Lu Yao probably analyzed the issues between Song and Xia from another aspect.

Lu Yao, on the other hand, after Yan Shu read the manuscript and admired the views given in it, he said lightly: "The words above were all told to me by Wang Anshi when he came to my house before.

I asked him what to do about the situation between Song and Xia, and he gave me these suggestions."

Yan Shu was stunned on the spot. He originally thought that Wang Anshi's strength was in domestic affairs. Unexpectedly, he was also a good player in foreign affairs. Wang Anshi accurately analyzed that if two countries want to achieve the core of negotiations, they must

The military strength of one party. The current situation of the Song Dynasty was also analyzed very thoroughly by Wang Anshi. He could fight, but he could not fight to the end. The treasury of the Song Dynasty had just been enriched and could not withstand the years of attrition wars. Therefore, war was used to promote peace.

is the best way. Yan Shu had never considered this idea before. He just divided the handling methods between Song and Xia into two viewpoints: the warring faction and the peace faction. In fact, Yan Shu has now read

If you think carefully about the manuscript in your hand, is it really impossible for these two methods to coexist? Promoting peace through war is the best way, which can not only demonstrate the prestige of the Song Dynasty, but also show the style of a great country. However, the manuscript

It also emphasized that the Song Dynasty should not be able to stop the founding of the Xia Dynasty. Regarding this point, Zhang Feng had mentioned it before, but it was quickly vetoed by the main battle group.

So, Yan Shu asked Lu Yao what he thought about this manuscript. Needless to say, Lu Yao must have read this manuscript before.

But Lu Yao only gave two words, perfect. This means that Lu Yao actually fully recognized the method mentioned in Wang Anshi's manuscript that Daxia's status must be recognized and that war can promote peace. Yan Shu thought about it carefully.

Said: "I really didn't expect that Wang Anshi was so smart. I underestimated him before. Mr. Xiao Lu, do you think I should hand this thing to the emperor now?"

Lu Yao thought for a while and said: "I don't think there is any need to be in such a hurry. It would be best to wait until Lord Fan Zhongyan and his colleagues do not have smooth peace talks ahead. When His Majesty asks if he has any suggestions, then you can take this thing out and give it a try.

First, it is very convincing, and secondly, it can also successfully introduce Wang Anshi to His Majesty, and Wang Anshi will definitely leave a deep impression on everyone."

Yan Shu nodded and said, "Yes, let's do it like this."

The two reached an agreement on Wang Anshi's matter, and then they chatted for a while, and Yan Shu was about to say goodbye and leave. Lu Xu naturally also sent Yan Shu out of the Lu Mansion.

Before leaving, Yan Shu still asked Lu Yao that question. In Yan Shu's view, when Wang Anshi heard Lu Yao's name, he actually didn't feel that familiar with Lu Yao. Why did Lu Yao work so hard to help Wang Anshi?

Lu Yao said that as long as they are capable talents, they should naturally be sent to the court to play their role. Everyone knows that these words are superficially beautiful words, but it seems that Lu Yao does not intend to tell himself

The real reason. In any case, the credit for the recommendation would fall on Yan Shu, so Yan Shu didn't ask any more questions and took the manuscript back to the Prime Minister's Mansion. It was considered a worthwhile trip.
