- Seven years of Tiansheng.
In July, the Martial Arts Department of the Imperial College was established. Han Qi was appointed as the first dean of the Martial Arts Academy. Di Qing, Yang Wenguang, Yu Jin, Chen Pingyuan and other northwest generals took turns to serve as direct lecturers for two years. At that time, the military science of the Song Dynasty flourished;
In autumn and August, a new round of the Great Song Dynasty Talent Promotion Ceremony began. The Imperial College and Fengqiu, with fifty-nine and seventy-eight candidates respectively, ranked first in the proportion and absolute number in the country. One's best result. Both of these places were Liang Feng's experimental places for educational reform. Therefore, students from all over the world went to observe and pay homage to him and seek for the true scriptures.
In the spring and February of the eighth year of Tiansheng, the spring palace was unveiled. Luoyang Fubi High School champion, Wen Yanbo ranked second, paraded through the streets on horseback, and gave a banquet to Qionglin. Fu Bi married Yan Shu's eldest daughter. Liang Feng and Feng Chengcheng personally congratulated him. In the presence of the Manchu ministers, Fu Bi, who was one year older than Liang Feng, respectfully bowed to his disciples and thanked him, and passed on the throne.
In the ninth year of Tiansheng's reign, Kou Zhun died of illness. Zhao Zhen was in great mourning and stayed in court for three days to show his favor. Qian Weiyan finally got his wish and succeeded him as Privy Council envoy. Liang Feng also signed the Privy Council at the age of twenty-seven.
In the tenth year of Tiansheng's reign, Queen Mother Liu E and Princess Li passed away one after another. Zhao Zhen was so sad that he wished to live. After retiring from court for a month, he was often depressed. Liang Feng tried to enlighten him in many ways, and he finally cheered up.
In the following time, the Song Dynasty experienced great changes that had never been seen in history. Thanks to the contribution of Liang Feng's movable type typesetting and printing technology, the cultural popularization of the Song Dynasty entered an era of rapid development. Newspapers entered the homes of ordinary people. People's concern for national affairs was not limited to corruption. Gradually, some people began to explore View court affairs from multiple perspectives and care about the future of the nation. This privilege is no longer in the hands of the court scholar-bureaucrats.
At the same time, more and more books have enriched the spirit of the people of the Song Dynasty. Starting from Liang Feng's "Journey to the West", various novels, medleys, poems, essays and ideological works have also shown a flourishing trend. What is even more valuable is that because of the establishment of the Guocai Academy, the Song Dynasty saw the emergence of the first batch of professional talents in the history of the world. They were involved in many fields such as water conservancy, construction, equipment manufacturing, military development, meteorology, geology and so on. And it is widely used in social construction and people's lives. It is no longer the knowledge in the ivory tower. Later generations marveled that the technological progress of the Song Dynasty was at least two hundred years ahead of the world at that time.
Affected by the economic, cultural and military influence of the Song Dynasty, the Han people increasingly showed strong self-confidence and solid strength when facing the northern peoples. The issue of redeeming the sixteen states of Yanyun that Emperor Taizu of the Song Dynasty envisaged frequently appeared in discussions between the court and the people. Forcing the current Northern Liao Emperor Yelu Hongji to retreat step by step, he voluntarily surrendered to the state and respected the Song Dynasty as his brother country. At the same time, he still serves Zhao Zhen as his uncle and is very respectful!
The older generation of the imperial court and many rising stars felt that the country was becoming increasingly prosperous and powerful, and began to make plans for the Northern Liao Dynasty. After all, this was the dream in the hearts of the officials and generals of the Song Dynasty! They wrote letters one after another, providing some favorable evidence for the recovery of Yanyun and the direct capture of Northern Liao from different aspects such as economy, politics, culture, and military. In addition, Di Qing, Yang Wenguang and others are becoming more and more popular. The whole country believed that taking Bei Liao was a matter of time. They all feel that today's official family should be an emperor for eternity.
Zhao Zhen became a little excited. Now that the country is prosperous and powerful, since the corruption case was reported in the press, relying on the independence of the supervisory power, the number of corrupt officials has been decreasing day by day. In the end, it was a treat at Mr. Liang Fengliang¡¯s house. Because he was not prepared enough, he ordered a table of takeout at Panlou. Unexpectedly, Pan Lou was a stupid fan of Liang Feng and gave away the table without taking any money. This matter was also reported in the newspapers without any clue. For this reason, the Yushitai started questioning Liang Feng for three consecutive days, forcing the man to issue a statement in the "Northwest" newspaper to apologize and compensate Panlou for the banquet according to the price!
Although the common people were very disapproving of this, what did they think was so great about Mr. Liang having a meal in a restaurant? If he is willing, how about I can provide him with free food and drink every day for free? However, Liang Feng issued another statement the next day: I came up with the idea of ??delegating supervision power to the people, just to prevent the slightest error and to prevent the idea of ??privilege from gradually overtaking the people. Although the meal is small, it shows how much progress our Song Dynasty has made. Thank you all sincerely. Please provide me with food and drink when I am too poor to beg for food!
People finally figured out the big meaning of this small article. It turned out that this was Liang Feng¡¯s deliberate pretense, and he wanted to make the privileged mentality become a historical term of the country forever!
Back to Zhao Zhen¡¯s plan, he finally had a plan to compete with Beiliao. In the end, Liang Feng resolutely stopped him because the Northern Liao Dynasty was already far behind the Song Dynasty in everything. At this time, instead of wasting people, money, and lives, it would be better for culture to penetrate economic aggression, and finally slowly melt them into our national family. Moreover, it seems that the tribe called female straights in the northeast has become a bit barbaric and tough. If there is a war with Bei Liao, these tribes may not seize the opportunity to cause chaos. Even though we have many famous generals with advanced weapons in the Song Dynasty, we really have to be careful when dealing with those people.
Zhao Zhen has unconditional trust in him. If he says no, it won¡¯t work! He simply adopted his method, constantly incited Northern Liao to suppress straight women, provided financial and conventional weapons (just swords and arrows) assistance, and finally found an opportunity to chop off the head of Gailibo, who was secretly rewarded by the Song Dynasty. When Liang Feng heard that Aguda's father had died together with the child who had not found his mother, he was so happy that he got drunk for three days. But this feeling of having nowhere to express made him feel constipated for several days.
" Then Liang Feng decisively issued an order to negotiate with the Northern Liao Dynasty. They were no longer allowed to oppress and buy and sell straight women. We all live in the same world and must be harmonious. And took the initiative to sign an equal trade and free agreement with Beiliao, opening the door to the great integration of national economy and culture.
This equal trade and free agreement has a profound impact on future generations. Thousands of years later, all countries in the world will use this historical document as a basic text to trade freely on the earth, making the world prosperous.
When Liang Feng saw that the inland was almost sorted, he finally launched his third major move to start maritime trade. At this time, the general supervisor could already build a water giant that was fifty feet long and thirty feet wide. Liang Feng discussed with Zhao Zhen to vigorously improve the official status of the Municipal Shipping Department and actively guide the coastal people to take the road of maritime trade. Originally, maritime smuggling was just a piece of fat, but once it was let go, it became so vibrant that everyone was stunned. In the second year of Kangding alone, the revenue from maritime trade in the Song Dynasty reached 470 million guan. Based on the initial customs tax rate discount of 20 to 1 tax, the tax revenue reached more than 20 million guan. Zhao Zhen is really overjoyed! He made three new sets of clothes for each of his wives and himself in the palace to celebrate!
The dwarves of the earthquake-prone island country to the east have always admired Han culture, and now they are crying like motherless children to throw themselves into the arms of a cultural mother. Although Liang Feng hated them so much that he gritted his teeth. But in the end, reason prevailed over emotion, and Zhao Zhen, who was already tolerant and generous, was advised to treat them well. The high degree of cultural interoperability gradually made the Mandarin of the Song Dynasty - the official film of Kaifeng in the capital - the first language of the island country. When people go out on the street to say hello, they no longer say hello, but "Zhongbuzhong" or "Zhong!".
Then, then everyone gets old!
Zhao Zhen lived more than 20 years longer than originally expected, and gave birth to five sons in one breath, all of whom were vigorous and vigorous. This is all thanks to Liang Feng. The suggestions of Tai Chi and reasonable exercise for health are really effective.
But Zhao Zhen has a headache.
"Alas, you and I are getting older. Now that we are over sixty years old, should we consider the issue of successors?"
"Well, that's true. What do you think?"
"I want to pass the throne to my eldest son Zhao Rui. He is the eldest son, so he should be crown prince, right?"
"Why should the boss be established?"
"It's been like this since ancient times. Is it natural to establish a eldest son and a direct heir? Are you holding on to it?" Zhao Zhen was surprised that this idiot didn't even understand this.
"Haha, I do understand, but do you still remember the "Broken Array" by Empress Li that I wrote to you when you were a child?" Liang Feng smiled.
Zhao Zhen immediately became alert. Isn't this the world's peace? I can never forget the sound of the country's subjugation.
"As long as you haven't forgotten, I just want to tell you that in this world, not everyone can be an emperor. In your life, you will only be an official if you can't do anything. But who knows what kind of ghosts your descendants will be. Something?" Liang Feng simply didn't give Fengzi, Dragon and his grandchildren face.
"What should we do?" Zhao Zhen was depressed, but he had to admit that Liang Feng's words made sense.
"Go and check the documents. Maybe you will get the answer! Oh, it's the Imperial Academy squad leader election system that I established when I was in Tiansheng for five years. Hasn't it been popularized to elect state and county officials by the people? Don't the people recognize it very much? "
Zhao Zhen fell into endless contemplation!
After thinking about it for almost half a month, he called Liang Feng again: "Oh, I understand everything you want to say. But, I'm afraid that the blood of this country is not pure!"
"It's strange. You have to follow my rule. For thousands of years, your surname is Zhao will be in this country. The portrait in the Ancestral Temple will always be yours. Why is the bloodline impure? Haha, but what if you return it? Why do you want to establish an elder or a direct heir? Just wait, one day someone from your family might come out and resign from the temple in a hurry!"
Zhao Zhen was depressed for another half month.
Finally, he finally made up his mind and launched a competition for the royal heir according to Liang Feng's suggestion. Liang Feng helped him set up a few simple rules: first, all five sons of Zhao Zhen can participate in the election, and the court ministers can also stand in their own teams, support their own successors and help in the election; second, universal suffrage for the people of the Song Dynasty, Anyone over the age of 16 can vote for both men and women; third, the necessary conditions for candidates are: a clean history and no bad deeds; having a policy agenda to gain recognition; fourth, there is a time limit for being an official, and a maximum of two terms can be re-elected ???Each term shall not exceed eight years, and there must be backup officials just in case; fifthly, once the term expires, the term shall be re-elected immediately and never postponed. Sixth, you can canvass for votes, but if you find any despicable means or bribery, you will be immediately disqualified from running. Of course, the last one must always be adhered to, and candidates must always be descendants of the Zhao family.
Zhao Zhen¡¯s big heart and Liang Feng¡¯s cleverness finally won widespread applause from the people who had already tasted the benefits of direct election. China's first democratically elected monarch was finally born after 1,000 AD. Zhao Zhen immediately announced his abdication and became the Supreme Emperor, and together with Liang Feng, he supervised the second and third general elections to ensure the success of the elections.
More than seven hundred years later, the Maoist country on the west coast of the Pacific also held a meeting. At the meeting, a gentleman named Franklin said: "I am sure that Mr. Washington will undoubtedly be a great president of our country, but in the Song Dynasty, In the words of Liang Feng, a great man in Chinese history, God knows what kind of ghosts will come after him? Let¡¯s do it the way the Song Dynasty did!"
Oh, let¡¯s talk about family matters.
Feng Chengcheng of Liang Feng's family was named the King of Anguo County, and Xie Xiaochang was named the King of Chong'an County. Their two sons, Brother Qiu, were named Liang Congzhe, and Brother Dong was named Liang Congzhi. They served as prime ministers of the third and fourth Song Dynasty cabinets respectively.
The world-famous Lady Xue Li, Mei Xue, refused to join the Liang family even if she died, but she made the business of Desheng House in the northwest prosperous and opened the first chain store in the Song Dynasty. He also has two sons, one named Liang Congmin and one named Liang Congshi. They have a very good relationship with the two brothers born to the aunt and the second mother, but they are unwilling to enter the official career and have become the enduring economic cornerstone of the Liang family.
Talking about the old girl who could not get married in the Song Dynasty royal family, Master Qingxu Lingzhao of Kaifeng City suddenly picked up a girl one day, and a year later, he suddenly picked up a son. Because the Taoist temple is not suitable for the growth and development of infants and young children, the furious Zhao Zhen appointed Liang Feng, a disciple of Tongzhongshu's disciple Ping Zhangshi, Shangshu Zuopushe, Tianzhangge, and Longtuge, as his son and daughter. The son and daughter were picked up from a Taoist temple and were destined to be Taoists. They were stipulated to live at home half the year and live in the temple half the year.
Later, the daughter married Di Qing's son Di Yong (the second most handsome man in the world during the Song Dynasty) as beautiful as a flower. The son also married a daughter-in-law. In the end, he inherited the mantle of Master Lingzhao and became the master of Qingxu Temple. , the general leader of Taoism in the world.
"Oh, I feel really old. The weather has been rainy recently, and my legs and feet always feel sore." Zhao Zhen said with a sigh, beating his thigh.
"That's because you lack exercise. Why don't I feel like I'm old? My wife, the owner of Desheng House, recently heard that I love nosebleeds, so she even bought two little girls from Persia to help me get rid of my nosebleeds!"
"How much older are you than me?" Zhao Zhen asked with a smile.
"yes!"
"You are an old and dishonest person! You are still doing this at your age!"
¡°It¡¯s an exotic feeling. It feels good. Do you want to get one for you too?¡±
"Um, hit!"
