Chapter 1685 Gift

In Daming Prefecture, Wang Hui read the edict written by Su Shi in the "Times". He was amazed but also sighed for a long time: "Zizhan will never be able to serve as prime minister."

Wang Yanbi understood the Su family better: "Actually, even Situ has never done anything extraordinary."

Wang Hui smiled bitterly: "However, when I read in the residence newspaper that Situ and Wang Xianggong entered the capital on the same boat, I thought that our court would produce a prime minister under thirty."

Wang Yanbi was surprised: "How is it possible? Wouldn't that shock China and foreign countries?"

Wang Hui said: "I was shocked at the time. But upon closer inspection, there is really no change."

"As an aside, if you think about it, if Situ inherited the mantle of Mr. Wang, after the Zheng Xia case in the seventh year of Xining, would it be difficult to take charge of the government as a political advisor?"

"If Situ was as narrow-minded as Lu Huiqing, with his harmonious relationship with the late emperor, is it possible that he could have been replaced by Wang Xianggong in the fourth year of Xining?"

"In the fourth year of Xining, Situ was only twenty-four years old, and in seven years he was only twenty-seven."

When Wang Yanbi recalled the political situation of that year, he couldn't help but say that Wang Hui's prediction was very likely to come true.

Wang Hui sighed: "But Situ chose another path. For him, it was probably the most difficult one, but for the Song Dynasty, it was almost the best one."

"How many people can stop before the wealth is at their fingertips? How many people can stick to the right path in their hearts? Can they refuse temptation and stick to their hearts when there are ten thousand reasons to excuse themselves? Situ did it, which is really admirable."

Wang Yanbi was a little confused: "Ten thousand reasons to excuse yourself?"

"What I mean is to stand above morality." Wang Hui shook his head and sighed: "Situ can subordinate Wang Xianggong and take over high positions, but he can also eliminate evil laws and straighten the court after Wang Xianggong leaves."

"It only takes a few years for the world to be restored. Who can say that he has changed his ways? Who can say that he has done so with a clear conscience?"

Wang Yanbi was confused: "Then why didn't Situ do this?"

Wang Hui patted Su Shi's article on the table: "Well, there are things a gentleman should do and things he should not do. Bai Letian said, 'I would rather break a sword straight than compose a full hook.'"

"He wants to make his governance concepts, academic concepts, and moral concepts upright and become norms step by step."

“Not only must the results be correct, but more importantly than the results, the process must be correct.”

"Only in this way will he not set a bad example for his successors by taking shortcuts and going the other way, and will not give anyone the opportunity to use fancy and clever excuses to tarnish his ideas."

"What you plan will serve as a model for hundreds of generations, not just for a moment."

"This is also the core of Mr. Long's philosophy - 'If there is no Duke of Zhou, there will be no recklessness'."

"If the system made it possible for the Duke of Zhou to emerge, the Duke of Zhou should plug these loopholes instead of letting himself become the Duke of Zhou."

"Because if we do that, it will leave a loophole for future generations that allows Wang Mang to become Wang Mang. It is a failure of the system."

It should be said that Wang Hui understood the core of Long Changqi's thoughts even more deeply than Wen Yanbo, a student. If Long Changqi was resurrected, he would definitely make Wang Hui his lifelong confidant.

After all, Wen Yanbo had been in a high position for a long time, and he was also a beneficiary of the irregular system of the Song Dynasty. He did not deeply understand the profound meaning of Long Changqi's words.

"So Situ would rather wait." After Wang Hui finished speaking, he pointed at Wang Yanbi meaningfully: "He is waiting for you, my future colleagues."

No heavy hammer is needed to play the drum. Seeing that Wang Yanbi understood, Wang Hui dropped the topic: "What is that sentence that Situ often said? What happens in the world will eventually be taken care of by everyone in the world."

After saying that, he picked up the newspaper and read: "The Ministry of Civil Affairs has a new performance appraisal law this year: There is no limit to the number of people who can inspect the county magistrate's performance grade.

Now, based on the number of counties under the jurisdiction of the road, we will appoint governors of the states and conduct general inspections.

His academic performance is known for his virtue and justice, his writing is clear and prudent, his fairness is commendable, and his diligence and perseverance are the four virtues;

The best way to manage affairs is to ensure that there are no injustices in prison lawsuits, that there is no disturbance in the examination process, that there are no mistakes in tax collection, that the decrees are issued in a coherent manner, that the case books are neat and orderly, and that the officers and men are evenly distributed.

Farming and cultivating mulberry trees, leaving no open space in the fields, water conservancy construction, convenient workshops, and accessible trade routes, the people rely on it for their best use.

The traitors and thieves are eliminated, the people are given a safe place, the poor are relieved, the fifth class is eliminated, and the school is fully equipped for the most upbringing.

Still Tong takes the best and divides it into three grades. Among the twelve things, nine things are the best, seven things are the middle, and the rest are the bottom.”

"From the perspective of the new performance appraisal method, there are several more changes than in the past."

"The books are neat and tidy. First of all, the court began to pay attention to the accounting files and records. Everything can be checked in the records, so that responsibilities can be clearly defined;"

"There is no need to disturb the subjects, and the officers and soldiers should be even. The former requires the people to have a surplus, and the latter requires the officials to give them justice."

"In the class, there are two more items: work and business;"

"In addition to relief, there are also two additional aspects of 'poverty alleviation' and schools;"

"First, we discussed the differences between the two systems, and the differences and differences between the governors were undecided. Lu Dafang looked at Liang Tao and asked who could do it. Tao said: 'The Duke has been in the court for a long time and has adopted many talented people. However, he does not rely on love and hate to be involved in partial listening, but relies on the court to obtain People have their own responsibilities, and this is what they expect from the public.'

Da Fang said: "I am suffering from lack of materials and ears."

Tao said: 'There is no shortage of talents in the world, but wise men are unwilling to move forward on their own. They need to be recognized by the court, and then they will come. There is no way to establish wise men, and there is no need to worry about having no one.'

Da Fang said: "You must distinguish clearly."

Tao said: 'If Gongsheng is clear, then the recognition of nature will be clear.'

The great guard is good at what he says, so he established this method."

"In all of this, the Four Roads are ahead. Lu Dafeng can't cut through the wall to steal the light, Xiao Gui can only follow suit. But in this way... Hahaha, this year's Hebei Fourth Road will have another big win. "

Wang Yanbi laughed and said: "The allusion of chiseling a wall to steal light can still be used in this way?"

Wang Hui laughed: "Although the meaning is not such a meaning, the situation is really such a situation!"

Wang Yanbi also laughed: "So as long as we not only mention the four virtues, but also examine the twelve things in detail, I, Hebei, can't even think of anything. This is the so-called 'one person attains the Tao, and chickens and dogs ascend to heaven'."

Wang Hui laughed again: "Fu Zhi is a quick learner, hahaha... Although the meaning is not that, the situation is still the same!"

After laughing, he added: "As soon as the river was opened, there were more and more civil servants. In the past, the person who submitted the request had to live idle for more than two years, waiting for introductions. When he changed his official position and was assigned a commission, he would have to wait for another one or two years."

"The day before yesterday, I reported to the minister that as long as everyone takes the lead, the administration will be successful. It should be selected and used in time, so that the power can be spread in all directions and benefit the people."

"I used to have redundant officials in the Song Dynasty, but now I have begun to lack officials."

Wang Yanbi knew what Wang Hui meant. Wang Hui was reminding him that if he wanted to take the fast track to an official career, now would be a good opportunity.

After thinking about it for a while, Wang Yanbi finally said: "I'm not as cunning as a colander, and I can change everything in Guangzhou. I still want to stay with Situ and learn for a few more years."

Wang Hui stroked his beard with satisfaction: "Fu Zhi has also experienced it, so we can make up our minds about this idea. Look at Su Ziyou, this really seems to be a strategy of slowing down and speeding up."

Su Che's official career had been wasted for decades under the protection of the big bosses, but he also learned from the rich political experience of the big bosses.

If he doesn't fly, he will soar into the sky, and now he is only two steps away from the prime minister.

Wang Hui asked again: "By the way, where is Situ recently?"

Su You is now very hands-off in the governance of Hebei's Fourth Road. He is really like Wen Yanbo in Hebei, only supervising and not managing detailed affairs.

Wang Yanbi and Wang Cai, one is in charge of administration, the other is in charge of punishment, Gao Shize is in charge of supervision, Gao Gonghui is in charge of public security, and then the deputy envoy Wang Kechen is in front of the stage, and the top aide Wang Hui is behind the scenes.

Industry has Shen Kuo, water conservancy has Song Yongchen, finance has Su Fu and Zhao Zhongqian, and military has a group of talented people.

Agriculture is still benefiting from crop rotation, livestock farming, the promotion of high-yield crops and chemical fertilizers.

A Hebei four-way transportation department operates steadily.

Wang Yanbi smiled and said: "I'm going to Dingzhou. His Majesty's wedding is coming soon. Situ has prepared a ship's cargo as a congratulatory gift. I'm going to pick up the goods."

…

Dingzhou, Fengjiayao.

Shi Da felt that he had a heavy responsibility, and with a serious look on his face, he carefully checked and re-checked each piece of porcelain. After making sure that it was flawless, he put it into a special straw basket.

After loading a pile, move the straw baskets into the wooden box.

Shopkeeper Feng was watching from the side, counting files and labeling wooden boxes with his hands. Although his hands were trembling with excitement, he would never lie to others.

The old accountant wanted to join in and write a few pens, but Shopkeeper Feng shooed him away and he could only look on with envy.

In the Song Dynasty, the temperature of the kiln could be fired to nearly 1,800 degrees. If it was an electric furnace, it could reach more than 2,000 degrees, which was far beyond the upper limit of porcelain firing.

Therefore, porcelain has become the first work that has evolved to its peak since Su You traveled to the Song Dynasty. Today's Dingzhou red flower porcelain can be called a classic among porcelains.

Of course, from an aesthetic point of view, flower-cut porcelain is actually far less natural and charming than many red porcelains from official kilns in the Ming and Qing dynasties, such as cowpea red, carmine red, Jihong, and Langhong. However, it is better in that it is bright and festive.

Song Shang Huode's pure red porcelain with sorbet beads as the glaze color can be said to be unique in the world today.

Su You and Cheng Yue arrived at the workshop and entered the warehouse: "Hey, are you still busy?"

Shopkeeper Feng came up and handed over his hand: "We are inspecting the last wedding gift for His Majesty. We don't dare to ignore it."

Su You smiled and said: "Old Feng, don't talk about this all the time. If you have the time, you might as well go to the "Bianjing Times" to buy an advertisement from Yan Xiaoshan."

The red porcelain has concave and convex marks and is not suitable for use as tableware, so the batch Lao Feng inspected was for decoration and study.

There are also tableware, which are lightly carved on the outside and then sprayed with glaze. The inside is as white as snow and the outside is completely covered in red. Only when you look closely can you notice that there are patterns on the outer wall, which are extremely exquisite. The craftsmanship of the old Fengjiayao can be called ingenious.

Su You took one and washed it with water, looked at it, played it again and listened to the sound, nodded and said: "After solving the furnace temperature problem, in theory, any porcelain can be fired at the kiln entrance of Lao Feng. Next, we will There are a large number of foreign trade orders, congratulations to Shopkeeper Feng, you have made a fortune."

Shopkeeper Feng was so happy that his beard was trembling: "It's a small thing to make a fortune, but to be able to make offerings to the inner circle, that's how the old Feng family has been able to honor our ancestors since my generation. It's all thanks to the kindness of the envoy..."

Su You was too lazy to listen to the compliment: "By the way, where are those descendant tanks?"

Shopkeeper Feng said: "The inner warehouse was burned a month ago, and I don't dare to show it to anyone easily."

Su You said: "Let's go and take a look."

The four-port large vat is a bowl-shaped vat with a cylinder diameter of one meter and a height of 80 centimeters. Such a large vat could not be produced in the Song Dynasty in the past.

The large vat used plaster mold grouting technology, and then went through multiple processes such as fine trimming, firing, glazing, deflowering, spraying glaze, and color firing. The old priest also creatively introduced lacquer carving technology when deflowering.

Then the superposition of the two planes eliminates the layering effect of the bas-relief, creating the layered feeling of Dasu cinnabar bamboo painting.
