Chapter 194 Position
The Jinming Pool in the misty rain is endless, and the water and sky are connected in a line. There is no wind or waves, and there is only a misty thing in front of you. The tall tower ships in the lake appear and loom in the smoke, looking like the residence of a god.
In the misty rain, Xu Ping and Fan Zhongyan led a few pavilions and pavilions to the agreed place. Some young officials who had already waited for here saw Xu Ping and Fan Zhongyan coming and hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
After the ceremony, Xu Ping and Fan Zhongyan sat in the first place.
Whether it is about official positions and titles, Xu Ping is above Fan Zhongyan, and he is respected today. In fact, the cost of the party today is also the money paid by Xu Ping's family.
Liu Xiaoyi, who had already arrived here, hurriedly ran over the water, holding a large handful of signs in his hand, and after giving the gifts to Xu Ping, Fan Zhongyan and everyone who came later, he said, "Officials, today we have all booked this area, so we can have fun, and we don't have to worry about outsiders' disturbances. If there is anything, just tell me."
Fan Zhongyan took the sign in hand and said to Xu Ping: "I have to worry about working hard today."
Xu Ping smiled and said, "Some small things are worth it. Just have fun today. In this kind of weather, all the fish in the water must come out to breathe and be easier to catch than usual. They all show their ability. If you catch a few big fish, there are people from my village there to clean up. It is all Jiangnan craftsmanship, which will definitely make everyone feast."
Liu Xiaoyi ran all the way to distribute signs to those who came later, saying, "There are fishing rods and baits by the water. All the officials will take them by themselves. The water here is deep and there are many big fish, so all the officials will enjoy it."
Although I have taken this area, I still have to rely on the brand to fish. Jin Mingchi is a royal business, and the officials in Chizi also have to make some extra money by themselves. These people are children of powerful people and don’t give anyone any face.
Among the later people, Song Qi from the Zhishi Museum said loudly: "There are singing girls over there, why not sing a new song to listen to? Only by listening to the song while fishing can you live up to the beautiful scenery in front of you!"
Several young people applauded together.
Such gatherings would look weird without singing girls to entertain themselves, and Xu Ping would not be stingy with this little money. He ordered Liu Xiaoyi to call a group of famous people to come and wait next to him.
Seeing the atmosphere was warm, Zhang Xianlai stood up among the people who came first and bowed and said, "I was bored a few days ago. I filled in a new poem "Acacia Order" below. It cannot meet the scenery today, but the season is just right. Why don't you let those ladies act and listen?"
Someone said in the crowd: "Ziye's lyrics are the most widely singed and exquisite. If you have new lyrics, you must listen to them!"
Liu Xiaoyi had a good-looking look and hurriedly called the singing girl to come near her when she saw this scene.
Xu Ping and Fan Zhongyan looked at each other, and both smiled slightly, ignoring them.
Nowadays, most of the Jinshi were in the second year of Tiansheng and the eighth year of Tiansheng. Most of the Jinshi were in the fifth year of Tiansheng and the first-class Jinshi in the fifth year of Tiansheng, and most of the lower-level Jinshi had left the Guankou and went out to work. The lower-level Jinshi had no chance to come in yet. For example, Wang Yaochen is now observing his father's mourning, Han Qi, Zhao Xu and Wu Yu have all left the Guankou to serve in real positions, but Xu Ping is involved because of the promotion and waiting system. The lower-level ones are typical examples such as Wen Yanbo just promoted from the magistrate to the magistrate, and Bao Zheng was still filial at home, and it was still a few years before entering the Guankou. Of course, this is also related to their circumstances. Not many Jinshi were well-known for literature, and few officials happened to meet veterans and important officials.
The most Jinshi were in the second year of Tiansheng, such as Song Qi, Zheng Jian, Yin Zhu, Zeng Gongliang, Ye Qingchen and Gao Ruonai. The second year of Tiansheng was in the eighth year of Tiansheng, Wang Gongchen, Liu Han and Cai Xiang, and Ouyang Xiu, who had special circumstances. The distribution of staff in the past few years of the Pavilion in the past few years has affected their official experiences in history because of the Qingli New Deal. The Jinshi in the fifth year of Tiansheng happened to escape party struggles and quickly rose in the court.
Of course, it is different now, but Xu Ping seems a little lonely without the support of the same year.
Zhang Xian arranged singing and dancing for the singing girls there, and Xu Ping and Fan Zhongyan got up and took everyone to the waterside.
Each of them picked up a fishing rod that was well-managed, put on the bait, threw it into the Jinming Pool, and turned around to watch the singing and dancing.
"When will the spring go? I asked the peach and plum trees to be speechless. The swallows return and the wind is tight, and the pears and snow are chaotic in the west garden.
There is still the beauty of the moon. It is like everyone, but it is hard to get close to the sky. I wish to teach the pure shadows to meet each other and beg for the longevity."
The tune of "Lovely Missing Er Ling" is a bit sad, and with this lyrics, it is like crying and complaining. The golden pond in front of you is shrouded in a misty rain, as if it is like a dream. Before you know it, you feel a crescent moon hanging on your head.
Zhang Xiangong's slow lyrics are self-evident, and his literary talent is not to be said, especially when he writes about the love between men and women, which is extremely vivid.
Xu Ping gently wiped the droplets of water that were accumulated on his face, looked at Fan Zhongyan beside him, turned around, and looked at the endless Jinmingchi.
The poets are charming and charming, and most of the good poets write about love and love. The status of the poets is not high in this year. Not to mention anything else, Zhang Xian was also a Jinshi in the eighth year of Tiansheng. He also made friends with Ouyang Xiu and others in the Xijing shogunate for many years. This time he returned to Beijing but only chose the election and did not get a place in the museum. He was not as good as Mei Yaochen, who failed the Jinshi.
It is precisely because of this that Xu Ping remembers the poems of later generations and will not show off on such occasions. Not only does it mean that it is useless to improve his status, but he will also be sued for a written lawsuit if he is accidentally.
When Xu Ping heard this song "Lovely Missing the Ones", he remembered Su Shi's "Shui Melody Song Head" written by him in his previous life. Among them, the sentence "Dancing and Playing with Clear Shadows" is "Whoever has heard two poems will feel that they are transformed from Zhang Xian's poems.
Many poems and articles that have been passed down from later generations actually have the shadow of others. When literati write, they are not taboos, and they may even become beautiful stories. But the premise is that they know it well and never hide it, which means they are quite tribute. It is just that they are passed down from later generations, and with the loss of the original work, it is difficult for future generations to understand the finality.
Looking at the scenery in front of him, Xu Ping also remembered the "Yueyang Tower Notes" which was passed down by Fan Zhongyan. He had never been to Dongting Lake before. He used Yang Yi's "Hanxu Pavilion Records" by writing scenery in large quantities, but "Hanxu Pavilion Records" was lost, and "Yueyang Tower Records" was passed down through the ages. Fan Zhongfan did not avoid this, and his articles were spread throughout the world, but Yin Zhu still criticized them many times. Xu Ping did not know about these historical literary and artistic lawsuits, but he had read "Hanxu Pavilion Records" and was always alert in his heart. It is not the article he really wrote, so he should not take it out and make people laugh.
After a song, everyone came to their senses and applauded together.
Xu Ping and Fan Zhongyan sat down on the chair beside the water, looking at the float in the water, and neither of them spoke for a moment.
Most of the above-mentioned services have other important tasks, and they will not be in charge of the affairs of the museum after a long time. Only the two of them have just been promoted and often go to the rotation, so they are more in touch with these people.
Compared with Xu Ping, Fan Zhongyan was under greater pressure. Recently, the leaders of the Imperial College Secretary discussed current affairs, which made Lu Yijian very angry. He once asked someone to bring a message to Fan Zhongyan, waiting for the rank of the lord and advisor, and not a censor, and should not ridicule the current affairs. This is not only a sentence, but political pressure. Fan Zhongyan silently took it down and did not say it to others to know.
In comparison, although Xu Ping was busy with political affairs, the political pressure was much less, and he himself did not take the initiative to participate in the debates on the court. He managed his own acre of land and did not easily exert his power.
After a while, Fan Zhongyan said, "Two days ago, Xu Kaijian submitted a memorial to the court to reward Kaifeng Prefecture and Jingxi Road to open up wild fields, and the new fields are exempted from three years of taxes. I am bluntly saying that this imperial edict is now that the powerful families in the capital are rushing out and occupying land in the surrounding counties. This matter is probably not a blessing for the common people."
Xu Ping was a little funny when he came to this edict. He was inspired by Wang Su when the shop opened that day, and took a lot of new agricultural tools to put them into the market, and promoted the policies to develop agriculture around the two capitals. Who knew that Zhao Zhen was too honest and approved the matter he submitted intact. One was to reward the land around the two capitals to reclaim the land, and the other was to restrict monks and Taoists all over the world. All temples without the government were demolished, and all monks and Taoists without the licensing certificates were ordered to return to secular life.
It would be fine to reward land reclamation, but the impact of demolishing temples with one size fits all is too great, which made Xu Ping unable to withstand. When discussing Ouyang Xiu's article at that time, Xu Ping just said casually, "If you really implement it, you have to talk about strategies, how can you be so tough?"
Fortunately, Ouyang Xiu's article "The Original Bads" attracted firepower, otherwise Xu Ping would have thought that he would be arranged by the monks to go to the fire. Ouyang Xiu didn't care. He was in a state of high spirits and believed that he would follow Han Yu's Taoist tradition and staunch the Buddha's and suppress the morality. If the monks didn't ask him, he would also cause trouble for the monks.
Seeing Xu Ping's expression relaxed and refused to answer, Fan Zhongyan was a little unhappy. Although it was promoted based on his political achievements and military achievements, Xu Ping's relationship with Li Yong and his family could not be erased, and there was always suspicion of being promoted by foreign relatives. Moreover, his attitude was ambiguous in the government and had conflicts with Lu Yijian's party, he cooperated more frequently, and was rejected by the middle and lower-level officials around Fan Zhongyan.
"Does Xu Daoyi think there is something wrong with what he said next?"
Fan Zhongyan asked again, and Xu Ping came to his senses and hurriedly said, "No, don't misunderstand Fan Waijian. I just thought of other things. Speaking of the two capitals, the powerful and wealthy families went out to enclose land, which naturally had disadvantages. However, no matter what, there are advantages and disadvantages. Just look at the advantages or disadvantages, and the disadvantages are not within the scope of tolerance. Those fields are deserted and no one has cultivated for many years. It is always a waste for the court. Whether it is a powerful or a small farmer, it is always good to cultivate them."
"But even if the powerful and powerful enclosing land and recruiting shopkeepers is profitable, it is still in the powerful and powerful family, but the common people are not profitable."
"The reason is this, but in addition to the powerful and powerful, the court also gained benefits. Furthermore, when producing grain nearby, these grains must be sold, which will save the hardship of the canal transport. The two capitals produce one stone of grain more than one stone, and the cost of the canal transport is at least equivalent to two or three stones in the Jianghuai River. This is a huge profit."
"The low grain is harmful to farmers, and there are a lot of grain in the Jianghuai River, and the more grain prices fall, it is unknown whether it is pros and cons."
Seeing that Fan Zhongyan did not agree, Xu Ping suddenly found that this problem became more complicated. The so-called "one moves the whole body", and different positions look at the same thing from different perspectives, the pros and cons can't be explained clearly in just one sentence.
Fan Zhongyan considered the problem from the perspective of a small peasant. Xu Ping had never thought about this perspective carefully. In Xu Ping's idea, it was just from a macro perspective that he did not go to which class. Perhaps Fan Zhongyan's idea also had some truth? It would be difficult to explain clearly without meticulously.
Having different ideas, Fan Zhongyan did not directly submit the memorial to object, but discussed it with Xu Ping first. This was originally a kind of respect, and Xu Ping could not ignore this kind of kindness.
