The last conscience of the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 168

Li Qingzhao gnawed on a raw cucumber, not knowing what he was saying.

Anyway, she had never heard of eating fresh vegetables in winter, and she didn't even dare to think about it.

Cao Tan's mind is not here.

Word has spread back home, and she doesn't know who the family will choose to adopt him as the second roommate.

At this time, Wang Jingyu came in.

"Girl, there was a little accident at home. There was a fierce argument. Cao An asked me to come back temporarily and let them fight. I heard that she was a noble concubine after entering the palace, so she was a little red-eyed."

Cao Tan nodded, she was not surprised.

Even if the concubine of the household is married, it is impossible for her to marry into a high family.

Now we are adopting a second room.

The second bedroom is Cao Shi's. Cao Shi is the Prince Consort, so the princess is nominally the legitimate mother. This status is quite noble.

Enter the palace, concubine.

It was just a dispute. Even if a fight broke out, Cao Tan would not be surprised.

Do not worry.

Although his father is not at home, there are still elders in the Cao family, so there will definitely be no trouble and a suitable person will be chosen to adopt him as the second room.

Li Qingzhao swallowed the cucumber in his mouth and said: "I heard that there was a real fight in the Jiaofang, and the fighting was very fierce. The women from Korea secretly cut off other clothes in order to compete for the chance to be in the position. They broke people's clothes, broke the strings of their pianos, put nails in other people's shoes, etc. There were many, and several of them were disfigured because of fights."

Cao Tan glanced at Li Qingzhao.

Li Qingzhao quickly explained: "I didn't ask around. I heard it from others when I was drinking tea on Daxiangguosi Street two days ago."

Cao Tan asked: "How is that girl from the Yin family in Goryeo?"

Zhao Bijun was about to praise a few words, but Li Qingzhao rushed to say: "I have no knowledge, and I have read very little. My handwriting is very poor, obviously I have not studied hard, and my painting is even worse. I have memorized some Tang poetry, which is at the level of a child."

Zhao Bijun added at this time: "Of course it is much worse than Qingzhao."

Cao Tan probably knew it well.

She was also the daughter of a famous Goryeo family, with decent education and knowledge.

You can't compare with Li Qingzhao.

In comparison, it is naturally very poor.

Let’s talk about the East Cross Courtyard.

Fan Chunli arrived.

Liang Xin said directly: "There are many people in the clan who are going to be demoted this time. I estimate that we can save 1000 million guan for the national treasury every year. In addition, by eliminating the businesses controlled by the clan, we can collect an additional 1000 million guan in taxes. There is a war in the northwest. Yes, it also costs money.”

Fan Chunli was stunned for a moment, then saw Zhang Dun sitting in the corner, writing without looking up.

When Fan Chunli sat down, Zhang Dun said: "Although Zeng Bu is in prison, he still has party members. His party members have discovered the secret agreement between me and Princess Zhu. I will definitely be exiled. Brother Xin will meet him on his own." After dealing with it, my family will have you all to take care of it."

Liang Xin was truly shocked.

He had already thought about how to tell Fan Chunli about Zhang Dun.

At this time, Zhang Dun was shouldering everything, which made Liang Xin feel somewhat guilty.

Therefore, before Fan Chunli could speak, Liang Xin said: "Mr. Zhang's family is poor, but I have all the expenses for the family."

The family is poor, it depends on who you compare with.

Compared to ordinary people, Zhang Dun is also quite wealthy.

Just like when Su Shi called out poverty.

It's just that the family is big, and the expenses are also quite large. Compared with the officials and nobles in Bianjing City, they are indeed much tighter.

Fan Chunli said: "I am going to start a home school. Your grandchildren should come to my house to study."

Zhang Dun: "Thank you." Liang Xin quickly changed the subject: "Exile, after the Song Dynasty, it was called exile. Regarding Goryeo, I believe they will definitely agree. Let me tell you about the thirty years Goryeo dedicated to us. Here, this is something to learn from a university."

"Tell me more." Zhang Dun put down his pen and listened intently.

Liang Xin wanted to know more about the purpose of spending thirty miles in Goryeo.

Liang Xin said: "First of all, once we get these thirty miles, we will immediately send people to build houses. The first step is to build a school. We will transport a large number of books there, and then arrange teachers to spread our orthodox Han culture."

After hearing this, Fan Chunli said: "Goodness, great kindness, I am afraid it is something that the Korean people are eager for."

Liang Xin was stunned.

Zhang Dun also nodded slightly: "If you base yourself on kindness, you will last long."

Liang Xin patted her head gently. What she was thinking about just now was that renting these thirty miles would have a negative impact on a country. Cultural infiltration was the first step.

Looking at the reactions of Fan Chunli and Zhang Dun, Liang Xin came to her senses.

Now is the Song Dynasty.

The Song Dynasty was a country in the Central Plains, and the surrounding small countries only regretted that they could not learn the knowledge of the Central Plains. As Fan Chunli said, this was something they could not ask for, and now they took the initiative to open schools...

Liang Xin's confidence suddenly lost. The second sentence was a tentative question: "Then the second step is to allow scholars from these thirty miles to participate in the autumn period of the Song Dynasty?"

"Good, great good. Educate all nations..." Fan Chunli immediately gave a long praise.

This time, even Zhang Dun looked at Liang Xin a little strangely.

Zhang Dun thought that Liang Xin must have set up some kind of very vicious plan by borrowing the thirty miles from Korea. Who would have thought that he would actually do good things.

Liang Xin added: "What's next, buy raw materials from Goryeo on a large scale and then export the goods. Will Song Qian become Goryeo's most valuable currency for circulation? Attract Goryeo people to work and accelerate Goryeo's urbanization?"

"It's also good." Fan Chunli told a theory.

This is entirely to help the Korean people develop their economy.

Liang Xin finally said: "When more Korean people read our orthodox Sinology, it will naturally affect the Korean royal power."

Fan Chunli said: "Now there is the Liao Kingdom in the north. If there is only the Song Dynasty in the Central Plains, like in the Tang Dynasty, the King of Goryeo must be recognized by the Tang Emperor, otherwise he cannot succeed to the throne. This is not an impact."

Come on.

Liang Xin felt that she had been sublimated in an instant.

It was my fault.

I have just said that the whole world is not the land of the king.

Change your thinking.

"My ultimate goal is to capture Goryeo so that I can put pressure on the Liao Kingdom. This is what I think..."

It doesn’t matter what you think. The fact is that Goryeo is fighting for the right to speak and opening up an outlet for goods for the upcoming industrialization in the early Song Dynasty.

However, in Fan Chunli's eyes, Liang Xin seemed to be a poverty alleviator who was going to help the Korean people.

And Fan Chunli was convinced that the Koreans would definitely agree.

The Korean people would also think that Liang Xin was going to help them. It was entirely possible to extend to more remote places, let alone thirty miles away.

Just when Liang Xin and others were discussing Goryeo.

Goryeo.

The Great Wall of the North.

Yin Guan had already arrived here with his troops, and the Jurchens had already retreated after breaking into the territory and looting.

Yin Guan came to the arrow tower. He was waiting for the Goryeo soldiers and horses who were chasing the small group of Jurchen thieves to return.

A figure appeared in the distance.
