    Next, Mao Geng gave a rough explanation of his design for Sakhalin Island.

    "We have to explain this matter clearly. What if we make a joke and misunderstand the two Song Dynasty bosses in front of us!"  So Mao Geng solemnly expressed his position: Sakhalin must be a subordinate of the Song Dynasty in the future, and it can station troops and bear court taxes.

    As for how to deal with taxes, of course we cannot follow the methods of the Song Dynasty. For example, we can set up tax packages or something like that. Didn¡¯t later dynasties also engage in tax packages for a period of time after the reform and opening up? It seems that the central finance department also followed  The local finance department has borrowed money.  We are building a small special zone on Sakhalin Island. The special economic zone has more elements and is more financially sound.

    As for the chief executive, if we don¡¯t engage in feudalism, we won¡¯t engage in the idea of ??fathers dying and sons succeeding, so the court can feel more at ease.  If you have to ask a specific method, let's put it this way, both of you are familiar with the joint-stock company system. It is almost based on the joint-stock system to produce the chairman of the board of directors, oh, no, it is the chief executive!  Then the imperial court would stamp it with a carrot seal. Oh, no, the imperial court should issue a letter of appointment.  In other words, the Han, Tang, and current dynasties all got away with this matter, and later Hong Kong and Macau followed similar procedures.  This time and space is called Jisi, and later generations will call it the Special Zone. In terms of rigor, the name of the Special Zone is more rigorous. After a thousand or two thousand years, the name must keep pace with the times, right?

    Mao Geng dared to tell Lu Xin directly about this matter, of course, he had studied the possible reactions of the two.

    Let¡¯s talk about Lu Jiuyuan first. Anyone who can say such words as ¡°The Six Classics annotate me, and I annotate the Six Classics¡± certainly cannot be a rotten Confucian who refuses to change his past.  "Xinxue" is originally Neo-Confucianism, and Lu Jiuyuan was also a fan of Wang Anshi. Lu Jiuyuan also specially wrote an article "The Ancestral Hall of King Wen Gong of Jing" in which he highly praised Wang Anshi's character, morality, scholarship and statecraft. In short,  In Lu Jiuyuan's eyes, Wang Anshi was extremely talented and unconventional. He was a "tall" figure who spread positive energy throughout his life!  Judging from this point alone, we can see Lu Jiuyuan's attitude towards the reformers.  In later generations, some people even came to the conclusion through research that Lu Jiuyuan's "Xin Xue" to some extent inherited Wang Anshi's "New Xue". Even what the two of them said seemed to be of the same origin. Wang Anshi said, "A good scholar should read his books."  If I pursue rational pursuits, and if there are those who agree with me, then the words of the woodcutter and herder will not be discarded; if the words are unreasonable, Zhou and Confucius would not dare to follow them." Lu Jiuyuan said, "I only know the basics of learning, and I have footnotes to all the six classics."

    Anyway, it is always good that Lu Jiuyuan was a pioneer in the reform of Confucianism. Later, Wang Yangming of the Ming Dynasty was the successor of the Xinxue. Wang Yangming advocated "unleashing the cable and letting the boat go, and let me do whatever I want." - Look, Lu Jiuyuan can be regarded as a pioneer in liberating the mind.  , but the words were not so explicit, Wang Yangming was more straightforward, and directly formulated the idea of ??liberating the mind.

    Therefore, Confucian scholars in the "Xin Xue" discipline should not oppose reform, and Lu Jiuyuan would not.  Besides, Mao Geng has figured out Lu Jiuyuan through the two years of working together day and night. Based on his series of achievements in the Kaohsiung Special Administrative Region and his trust in his character, it is estimated that Lu Jiuyuan will not stand against him.

    As for Xin Qiji, since he is on good terms with Chen Liang, there is no need to worry too much.  Who is Chen Liang!  Chen Liang is one of the core figures of the Shigong sect. "When you achieve success, you are virtuous; when you get things done, you are justified." - This is the creed of the Shigong sect, and the correct one is "Black  The originator of the cat-white-cat theory.  Since he and Chen Liang were inseparable, Xin Qiji naturally could not be the kind of person who was bound by rules and regulations.

    Take the things that Xin Qiji himself has done as an example. Some of them can be described as deviant.  For example, when he was in Changsha, he supervised the construction of barracks for military training - the training was for the Flying Tiger Army. During this period, the court received various material complaints against Xin Qiji and requested that the construction of barracks be suspended. Ordinary people would have stopped work when encountering such a situation, but Xin Qiji  Marshal Xin is different. Marshal Xin simply put on a good show of raw rice and cooked rice to antagonize the court.  First, he suppressed the court's order, and then grabbed the construction period at all costs, hid the stop-work order, and completed the construction first.  Don¡¯t be afraid if you don¡¯t have enough tiles!  Changsha citizens were ordered to send 20 tiles to each household and pay 100 Wen immediately. Therefore, all the roof tiles were raised within two days.  Paving roads required a lot of stones, but there were not enough stones, so he ordered the mobilization of all the prisoners in the city to start a big war, and launched the "piece rate system" as a killer weapon - those who overachieved could have their sentences reduced!  Needless to say, with such extraordinary measures, the "three armies" naturally took action, so the barracks were built at an incredible speed.  After the project was completed, Marshal Xin took out the imperial edict and expressed regret, "I'm sorry, I only received this edict after I finished the work."  Of course, this matter made the court unhappy. Marshal Xin was also a bachelor. He made a report and said that this matter is like this. I will even send the account books to the court. You can check the accounts and do whatever you like!

    From this point of view, isn¡¯t it a bit unscrupulous to achieve the goal?  Judging from Marshal Xin's methods, this is not something that a rigid-minded person can do!  Therefore, Marshal Xin is also a model of ideological liberation.

    At the same time, Marshal Xin is still veryA person who is full of charlatanism.

    Some people in the court regarded Marshal Xin's gangsterism as gangsterism. Xin Qiji originally followed the grass-head king Geng Jing to fight against the Jin Dynasty. It is not surprising at all that he has gangsterism.

    Marshal Xin¡¯s Jianghu spirit, the Jianghu version is truly Jianghu loyalty, and there are stories to prove it.

    It is said that in the sixth year of Qingyuan (AD 1200), Zhu Xi, who was framed by the Qingyuan Party Case, died of illness in Fujian. At this time, when Han Kanzhou was gaining great power, Han Kanzhou, who directed the "Qingyuan Party Case", issued an injunction prohibiting all walks of life from paying tribute to this generation.  The great master of Neo-Confucianism was buried.  It is a pity that although there were many disciples and followers of Zhu Xi, many of them did not dare to come to express condolences because of a ban.  The funeral of a great master was so deserted that it was so desolate that it was embarrassing. However, others avoided it, but Xin Qiji ignored that Zhu Xi was a "sinner" criticized by the official.  Evaluation: "Those who are immortal will be famous for eternity. Whoever dies in public will still live in dignity."

    This is Xin Qiji, a Xin Qiji who is full of heroic spirit, a word full of heroism, and an eclectic Xin Qiji!  Mao Geng feels that in this time and space, the person who is most likely to understand and support him and the transverse world should be Xin Qiji.  In fact, Xin Qiji has already supported him unreservedly in the operation of Minmetals Holdings, and he should not be disappointed this time.

    Lu Jiuyuan and Xin Qiji were naturally surprised by Mao Geng's Sakhalin plan, and some of it touched them, so they couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

    You may think that Mao Geng's statement is too much, but from the Han and Tang Dynasties to the Song Dynasty, the policy of restraint was used too much. Even Xinhua and Anhua in the heart of the country were restrained areas a hundred years ago, and even more  Not to mention remote areas.  Speaking of Jisu, in many cases it is just a name. It is no exaggeration to say that the imperial court's management of certain Jisu areas was simply a mess. In the Song Dynasty, apart from the fictitious rights such as naming rights,  , and has no other management rights.  It seems that the special zone model like Sakhalin mentioned by Mao Geng is quite good. In the future, the court can station troops and collect taxes. Such a special zone is better than a nominal territory.

    However, you said that Mao Geng¡¯s statement is not deviant at all, but that doesn¡¯t seem to be the case.  This always feels like something is wrong. For example, if Sakhalin Island becomes a powerful vassal, if it participates in domestic political disputes, etc., the Mao Group's ability to rapidly expand has not been seen before. What if the tail is too big to lose!

    However, Lu Jiuyuan was the first to think of it and said:

    "Since the establishment of the prefecture and county system in the Qin Dynasty, especially since the Han and Tang Dynasties, there has been no feudalism among officials, but feudalism among officials. Since ancient times, the imperial power has not been extended to counties, and the gentry and local officials who have been passed down from generation to generation have always controlled grassroots politics.  Things may not be changed in a short time. The first thing the imperial court is concerned about is collecting taxes, and the second is moral support. In practical terms, it is just taxes and criminal names. Yi was born in Kaohsiung and helped the imperial court generate revenue far beyond normal taxes and criminal penalties.  Then there are special departments, and none of them violates the benevolence and righteousness of the saints. If the same is true for Sakhalin Island, then the imperial court has no concern that the governance of Sakhalin Island cannot be lawful. In addition, there are imperial troops stationed there, so there will be no additional problems. As Shi Cai Yisheng said,  Speaking of dynasty replacement, if you think about it carefully, it makes sense, but can it stagger the rise and fall cycles? Lu has some doubts."

    Long Jiu had long heard from Mao Geng that Lu Jiuyuan had his own unique insights into the definition of feudal society.  Lu Jiuyuan believes that in the era of the county system, officials were all displaced, but the subordinate officials at the county level all inherited their father's legacy from generation to generation. This was the de facto "subordinate official feudalism", so within a county, almost all subordinate officials were  "The county magistrate is a man of iron and a subordinate," and once the subordinate officials and the gentry join forces, they actually have the final say on matters at the grassroots level. However, the county magistrate often plays the soy sauce. If you think about it, this is not much different from autonomy.  It is common for county officials to be careless. As long as you can do your job in taxation and corvee work without causing any big trouble, the county officials will be able to evaluate your performance, and the court will think that this is a great rule of the world.  Because of this, considering the Song Dynasty's very tragic control over the grassroots, from Lu Jiuyuan's perspective, Mao Geng's so-called Sakhalin Special Zone plan is actually not that outrageous, at least there is a bottom line!  Lu Jiuyuan believes that such a special zone can exist.

    Lu Jiuyuan got off to a good start, and Xin Qiji immediately smiled and said easily:

    "It is certainly a good thing to manage Sakhalin Island and put Sakhalin Island under the jurisdiction of the Song Dynasty in the future. Since Sakhalin Island is a bitter cold place with extremely harsh conditions, it should be set up as a special zone both emotionally and rationally.  If Yushima can be built, Sakhalin Island can be built even more. However, it is hard to say whether the Sakhalin Special Economic Zone can be what Yi Sheng said by then. I can only say that it is a way. Haha, this is not ours.  Let it be said now. In my opinion, I will wait until I have done it. Anyway, my top priority in the Song Dynasty is the Northern Expedition and the restoration plan. Now that I have to compromise with the Jin people, there is no need to touch the Jin people on the ownership of Sakhalin Island.  As long as you can actually control it, that¡¯s better than anything else.¡±

     When Mao Geng heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief. Xin Qiji's words should to some extent represent the meaning of the court. It seemed that the court would not have any resistance.  But yes, the Song Dynasty court would probably look down on the ungrateful place of Sakhalin Island. As long as he and a group of "returnees" didn't cause too much trouble, the court felt that it was not worth it to take this trivial matter seriously.

    Now that Mao Geng¡¯s statement is very good, Xin Qiji naturally won¡¯t be verbose anymore, so he happily shifts to today¡¯s topic:

    "Okay, now let's talk about the situation in Japan. Yi Sheng, do you have any good suggestions?" Xin Qiji mobilized troops from Taiwan to Xiayi Island this time. After all, he came here because of the Japanese problem.
