Chapter 62: Military Games (Two in One)

The Zhao Guanjia said that he was just strolling around here and then farming. Yes, you read that right is farming. When you see that the old man and child have difficulty tidying up the silt in the flooded fields, he rolled up his sleeves and worked together. Not to mention that he was pretty, he was stunned by the officials around him. If he didn't do it, the officials would end up. If he didn't do it, we really can't do it. I'm afraid that it would cause trouble to make the officials unhappy.

Fortunately, Hu Hongxiu, who was arrested, was also a close minister in his early years. He knew what the Zhao Guan family was, and knew that this person who did this might just vent his emotions... So he asked for an order early on, so he asked everyone to follow the steps and not imitate without authorization. Simply put, it is just what he should do.

Of course, the Jinshi (yes, it still exists) and local officials will definitely write a big book about this behavior. In a few days, the official newspaper will definitely be in Tokyo, and the Phoenix Weekly Report will be published in Hangzhou. How Zhao's official family "watches the people of Ningxia personally"?

However, as April approaches, the sun is getting more and more poisonous in the afternoon, and the temperature difference between day and night is also large. The Zhao Guan family is still patiently writing to the Qiang grandmother when she was following the Mongolian mission to be a porter to come back, leaving only a group of embarrassing ministers. After hearing this, Hu Hongxiu still accepted his fate and persuaded the Zhao Guan family.

"It's not that I'm doing nothing, but that I'm thinking carefully, and I think that all I can do now is dig a canal and drain water." Zhao Jiu answered in the mud with a shovel and rolled his legs. The Ningxia Road Master, who spoke out to dissuade him, stood on the ridge of the field and bowed to him.

This move did not cause too much chaos, because the Zhao Guanjia felt that he was not embarrassed, and that it was someone else. So the one who worked with him was Yang Yizhong, the commander of the imperial squad, the one who cleared the mud was Liu Yan, and the one who carried it away was Zhai Biao and another Dali royal child Duan Zhixing, who had just joined the imperial squad, who really couldn't work, so he had been scolded by Zhai Biao in the past two days... The working groups arranged around were also all the imperial squad.

Now, the official family was talking to the master, and he heard his loud voice from afar, "You... Mother, I have taught you how many times, I have to spread my pockets and pull my strength evenly! Otherwise, the official family would be busy all morning, you fool would be wasted your efforts. What red eyes are you? I am so polite enough. Thinking back then, the Mongolian king Tuoli works like the official family, you are a little king grandson, so what a pampering thing! I really don't know what you like, and I'll ask you to serve you in front of you."

That's right, this is the confidence. Now the imperial troupe Zhi Chixin Cavalry includes five Mongolian princes, one Gaochang prince, three Japanese princes, one Korean prince, one Korean prince and several nobles, and several nobles from Khitan Autonomous Road. Then there is the grandson of the Dali Kingdom.

So in Zhai Biao's eyes, these people are really a bit worthless.

More importantly, in his simple (uneducated) heart, what's wrong with the royal family? Our official family was born in the king of the country, and he ascended to the great treasures. He did farm work more smoothly than me. You trashed people should be the leader of the king. Yes, yes, that's right.

Liu Yan couldn't stand it and said, "Okay, Zhai Laojiu, you're not finished. You have to teach me aside. I didn't see everyone busy and talking here, so you don't have to eat lunch."

The old man next to him was so shocked that he hurriedly spoke in a strong accent: "Official Liu, you can't do this. My family's several acres are served by the officials and you, but they have helped us a lot. If we don't even eat food, the old man will not be able to be a human being in the village in the future."

If Ma Xingzu was there, he would be a happy picture of the officers, soldiers, soldiers, and civilians.

Seeing this, the Zhao Guan family had to put the tools on the ridge of the field and sat with Hu Hongxiu.

Seeing that the other party didn't say anything, Zhao Jiu said, "My father Dingyuan is worried today. I can't just come to persuade me to return to the palace as soon as possible!"

When Hu Hongxiu traveled thousands of miles west to contact Yelu Dashi, he even reported crucial news when Yue Fei's main force was advancing. These all took great risks. Therefore, he became the Ningxia Road Military Commander. Before Zhao Jiu returned to the capital, he fulfilled his promise and appointed this civil servant who was born as a Tai student as Marquis of Dingyuan.

Hu Chanjun, who was still short inch of hair at that time, in just half a year, he jumped from an almost marginalized editorial officer of the Privy Council to become the highest-level local official in the empire. Because of his title, he directly surpassed his old boss Liu Ziyu and others.

But there is nothing to say about this. I don’t know how many audio and video works he adapted into later generations, and even when he was studying history, he had to write a lot of books. Back now, people also like to joke about it.

Hu Hongxiu looked at it and replied: "I will not persuade Your Majesty, because I was informed that the Secret Pavilion's request to the envoy, Lu Benzhong, a scholar of Yutang, had already left Tongguan. If I guess, I will come to invite Your Majesty every month from now on. I just don't know that Ningxia is a poor place, one batch after another, can it afford to receive it?"

Zhao Jiu almost didn't say why you haven't seen you learnt from Qu Duan for a few years, but what he said was the truth, and this is a problem.

He pretended to be working people here, although he was thinking about what to do next, but it also had the effect of prompting Lingzhou to complete spring plowing quickly. The emperor's footsteps were all stepping into the soil, and people were standing beside him. No matter how Jinshi, famous family, loyal and wise, you will still be a member of the Gong Pavilion or a military officer, you will not dare to neglect or be a result of disasters and reduce production under your rule. Anyway, they gathered to help clear the dredging and encourage the people to work, and they would never dare to learn from Zhang Zhongxiong who had been sunk by the Yellow River.

But the benefits are significantly less than the expenses.

Hu Hongxiu said to himself: "Officials, this dynasty has only been accepted by Ningxia for six years. Before, it was for the Northern Expedition to irrigate and grow grain on a large scale. Later, in order to implement your policy, he returned farmland to forests. It can be seen that this troubles cost hundreds of thousands of tons of grain, which almost caused the officials to be scolded to death by the Ministry of Revenue. Of course, I am not holding them to complain. The Yellow River traverses thousands of miles, and it is the lifeline of my north. The officials themselves do it themselves, and I can only admire them. Moreover, I read the records with Governor Liu and Censor Xiao yesterday. The problem is indeed very serious and must be governed. But even so, you have not returned for half a year after leaving the capital, and you have encountered the incident of Mount Li. I really can't say what to do to keep you and see Helan Mountain."

Of course, Zhao Jiu knew that this person was telling the truth. If you said you were here to patrol the river, you have seen enough in the past ten days. If you move forward, you will be in the territory of Tubo. Unless you step on my body, you don’t think about it. Besides, Ningxia only produces so much. Even if you take the lead in waving the iron elm, you can’t turn sand into food. No matter what your thoughts are, this Yumen Pass, which does not even have spring breeze but only dust storms, is not a place for the emperor to stay for a long time.

Before Zhao Jiu could speak, there was indeed a gust of wind and sand, and then he was helped by someone to hide in the shed. Fortunately, the gust of wind was not very strong. He even laughed at himself: "It's a sandstorm, look at Xixia who blocked Jiangnan well to govern it. It's really a benevolent act of destruction of the country." The neighbors were speechless and no one wanted to pay attention to him.

However, seeing Hu Hongxiu's obvious aging in recent years, Zhao Jiu felt bad. This person was not a few years older than him, so he was so immature when he was awarded an official in Nanyang. So he said the thought-out words in advance, "Hongxiu, it is true that you say that the poor and poor place in Xia are true. Then I will give you a gift and a wealthy place."

Hu Hongxiu was stunned. It was not that the government issued government bonds, engaged in Northern Expedition lottery and opened shipping companies, but this place was not even the Silk Road, so how could it be rich?

But I heard from Zhao Guanjia say, "This wealth and honor last for a long time but does not pierce the eyes of people. It is really a long flow of water, and it is called the Military Games."

Even though Hu Hong was very knowledgeable, he didn't react for a while and asked stupidly, "Officials, what is the Military Games?" Hey, did you see this word in the diary? It was several years ago? Can you find it? Can you go back and ask Hu Quan?

Zhao Guanjia was very proud and was not afraid of being blown away. He explained: "As the name suggests, it is a sports meeting exclusive to soldiers. This sports meeting is actually a large-scale event that combines Cuju, sumo and even running competitions. After all, these are sports. Of course, since it is a military sports meeting, there are also some archery, fencing and other events, especially actual combat, but we must say that we cannot hurt people's lives!"

Before Hu Hongxiu could speak, the Lingzhou magistrate almost knelt down to the official family and said with a bitter face: "Official family, it is a good thing to strengthen the body, but you see that Ningxia is so poor that all the funds you brought have been invested in the treatment of the yellow metal. Censor Xiao can testify..." Oh my God, you are just going to build a large-scale project to boast about your martial arts function and you can't choose a wealthy place.

Zhao Jiu was so angry that he criticized him and said, "I have to stamp the jade seal every year to count the funds for Ningxia Road. I wonder what you said? But you, the prefect, don't you think about how to make your ruler rich? Xingling is the best agricultural area of ​​this generation, and the output is still significant, but if this place becomes a place where all directions are gathered, will it still be so poor? Only by attracting people will you become rich."

Hu Hongxiu pondered but said suddenly: "The official family, I dare not say whether it is rich or not, but I think the official family has found an excellent solution to resolve the conflict between the Han Dynasty."

Zhao Jiu was overjoyed. It was indeed a man who could travel thousands of miles and had an international perspective. Yes, although he held the Military Games for many reasons, this is one of them.

As mentioned in the previous article, Song Xia has been suffering for a hundred years. Since the demise of Western Xia, Ningxia Road was established and Qinfeng Road was expanded. The chief official Yuwen Xianggong had such a boundless personality. The problem of confrontation between Han and Fan often appeared. It was better for Hu Hongxiu and other people-friendly officials, but there was no need to mention the naked discrimination within the army, so that Zhao Guan’s family had to specifically attack Wu Jie.

Private fights among the people are resentment, but if the situation of competition and competition is used to resolve the conflict, no matter how a man fights, he will not be able to resolve it! If the resentment is resolved, he can live a good life.

"So I have thought about it. This time, we will first pilot the imperial front squad, the Imperial Camp Central Army, and the Imperial Camp Cavalry all sent representatives to participate. The first time, we won't collect tickets for the first time. The location does not need to be specially built. The first military game of the Song Dynasty was held in Helan Mountain. Pengju told me where to leave a military camp. If you sort it out, you can have a sword contest in Helan Mountain."

The Zhao Guan family was alone there and said excitedly. The people around were either confused or smiling bitterly. Only Li Xiuzhi asked conscientiously: "So, do you have to send a report?"

"Of course, this matter is known to everyone in the world, and the Emperor of the Song Dynasty held this time." Zhao Jiu said loudly.

Well, in the end, the first Military Games of the Song Dynasty, or the Helan Mountain Sword Competition, is scheduled to be at the foot of the Helan Mountain Remaining Mountain on the first day of May.
