Lord of the House

Vol 12 Chapter 32: exile

Zhang Yubo resigned as governor of Jiangning at the beginning of the year, but the memorial for his retirement was returned. Although Zhang Yubo said that he was not ill after resigning as the governor of Jiangning Prefecture, he has always held the title of Censor of Zuoqidu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

The relationship between Zhang Yubo and Lin Fu is also a friendship and a political enemy. At the beginning of his tenure as the governor of Jiangning, because of the extremely high food prices at that time, he started with Gu Tianqiao, who was closely related to the Huaidong family at that time, and was also above the temple. , once publicly * Lin Fu held the high-ranking official of the government.

After the government was in power, Lin Fu entrusted Zhang Yubo to be promoted from the position of the governor of Jiangning Prefecture, which was actually cutting his real power, but he returned Zhang Yubo's invitation to report his old age. Bitch, son, I still want to set up an archway, and put Zhang Yubo in the temple as a decoration to show his capacity.

When the Jeju Governor's Office was officially established, in addition to military and government officials, it was natural to dispatch other supervisory officials. Lin Fu directly nominated Zhang Yubo to be sent to Jeju as an inspector.

The Jeju Governor's Office is directly under the central government, and it is equivalent to the county governors in level. Therefore, the Governor's Office is equivalent to the Xuanfu Envoy Division. .

Although the military and political rank of the Jeju Governor's Office is high, it was only after the year that they realized that the center still has such an enclave overseas. the difference?

Leizhou and Qiongzhou have always been places for relegated officials, but Zhang Yubo used to be a high-ranking governor of Jiangning Prefecture, and he was expelled from the center and let go of places, even Hangyang and other places. Overseas flying soil, miasma land?

Almost everyone thought that Lin Fu had finally attacked Zhang Yubo this time and exiled him overseas.

Zhang Yubo, Zhao Shuhan and others have a deeper understanding of Huaidong than others, but they are limited; in their impression, Jeju is at most a small desolate port where ships are often moored, perhaps more lively than the wild land Some, but never imagine the prosperity of Jeju.

Zhang Yubo, at the beginning of the appointment, also thought that Lin Fu was determined to kick him far away this time, and even wrote a letter to Lin Fu, hoping to make his family stay in Jiangning. He went to Jeju alone to take up his post.

He is ready to die in a foreign land.

Lin Fu read Zhang Yubo's letter, and angrily and annoyed, he sent someone to throw the letter back, telling him that even if he was exiled from the army, Yilu's wife also needed to be served with him.

Along with Zhang Yubo, he was kicked to Jeju and brought his wife and children to the post, as well as Fan Jiliang, Chen Yu and others.

Fan Jiliang and Chen Mingzhe are old friends, and they were the staff of the former Prime Minister Chen Xiyan; after the Jiangning war, he and Chen Enze served as the left and right officers of Jiangning House.

Chen Yu was the second son of Chen Xiyan, and he was in the same examination as Lin Fu, but he was not admitted as a Jinshi the following year, and the examination was stopped after that. After the war in Jiangning, Chen Yu was attacked by a doctor in the middle and served as a member of the Ministry of Housing. This time, Lin Fu was called directly to serve in Jeju.

Fan Ji Liang was appointed as the deputy secretary of the inspectorate, and he was also in charge of the trial and punishment department, and Chen Yu was the supervisor of the city tax department.

Zhao Shuhan took the initiative to ask for a post in Jeju; not because he yearned for Jeju, but after Zhang Yubo, Fan Jiliang, Chen Yu and others were kicked to Jeju, he stayed in Jiangning alone, and even a friend who was drinking tea and drinking could not be found. Consciously being hated by Lin Bie, it is better to self-exile and come to Jeju to share weal and woe together.

Zhang Yubo, Fan Jiliang, Chen Yu and others, including Zhao Shuhan, traditionally belonged to the imperial party lineage and were determined to maintain the rule of the Yuan-Yue imperial family. increasingly deepened.

During the Jiangning war, Emperor Yongxing abandoned the capital and fled. All of them had integrity and stayed behind to help Chen Xiyan guard Jiangning alone. After that, in despair of Emperor Yongxing, they also joined forces with Cheng Yuqian, Yu Xinyuan, Zhang Yan, etc. The imperial figures parted ways.

After the war in Jiangning, Lin Fu first got Jiangning, and he could not fully grasp the overall situation, so they should also be used to balance the relationship between Huaidong and the old figures of the imperial party, but they actually had a grandmother in Jiangning who did not know each other, An embarrassing position that my uncle doesn't love.

Jingxiang's victory, and Zuo Chengmu, Hu Xuemu, Yue Lengqiu and other bigwigs, either openly or covertly fell to Huaidong, making Huaidong occupy the absolute initiative, both militarily and politically, Lin Fu does not need to Look at the face of the imperial party.

Giving Jiuxi and opening the government the official system, opening the prelude to the government of the government - Lin Fu no longer needs Zhang Yubo, Fan Jiliang, Chen Yu and others to stay in the center to balance the relationship between the government and the imperial party.

Zhang Yubo, Zhao Shuhan, Fan Jiliang, Chen Yu and others with their families were exiled and left Jiangning in early May. They were so tragic and generous. They also had a farewell drink with their friends in Jiangning. They boarded the ship directly from Jiangning and sailed across the ocean. Cross the sea and come to Jeju - when the prosperity of Jeju Castle in Jiangning is not as good as that of the wild and miasmatic place they imagined, it almost blinded their eyes when it was presented in front of their eyes.

What unfolded in front of them at this time was not a set of boring data, but a lively, palpable, rushing prosperity corresponding to the data.

Every year, there are about 10,000 dan of raw silk, 200,000 baskets of tea, 2 million stone rice grains, millions of catties of iron, millions of catties of salt, nearly 2 million baskets of coal, millions of catties of copper, hundreds of thousands of Pieces of new cloth, tens of thousands of pieces of lake silk, dozens of boats of porcelain, dozens of boats of sugar, tens of thousands of mules and horses, hundreds of thousands of pieces of leather, tung oil, animal mane and other bulk goods, transited at the Economic Ju Port or directly in Jeju City conduct trade.

Jeju is the core transit port, connecting Goryeo, Fusang, Yizhou, and Chongzhou, Mingzhou, Jiangning, Haizhou, Quanzhou, Jinan and other places in the Central Plains. Not only the goods imported from Korea and Fusang to the Central Plains and the Central Plains to Korea and Fusang have to be transferred from Jeju, the trade of goods between Korea and Fusang also needs to be transferred from the Economic State, and Jeju is called to share the profits from it.

All the clubs and business gangs that pass through the Haidong Commercial Road need to be registered in Jeju and set up a clubhouse to communicate...

It is these, in just ten years, created the strange prosperity of Jeju.

Sufficient sources of city tax provide enough money for the construction of Jeju Castle, and the construction of a completely new land enables Jeju Castle to break away from the rut and not stick to traditions, and it also enables many new craftsmanship and new talents collected from overseas. Materials, in the construction of Jeju Castle, were fully displayed.

Perfect municipal planning and rectified road construction; due to the tightness of the initial leased land, the official and private houses in Jeju City broke the traditional tiled courtyard form and adopted a compact layout of two to three floors, with buildings next to each other; in addition, the governor The official and civilian institutions such as the Mansion, Huaidong Bank, Heishuiyang Shipyard, Public School, Medical Center, and Business Society Hall were built in the city to be extra majestic. Below, like a shimmering gray-white lake.

The entire Jeju port has a coastline of more than ten kilometers, which is even more spectacular than Chongju Port. Three or four hundred large marine merchant ships can be berthed at the same time; after the summer, there are almost three hundred large marine ships in Jeju waiting for the storm. season passed.

The main long streets in the city are all cast iron columns with glazed headlights on top, which are considered street fires; because the port is berthed with merchant ships from across the sea, bringing a large number of business travelers, making Jeju Inns, tea shops, wineries, Goulan, The prosperous dance pavilion is not even inferior to Jiangning after the war.

Of course, in addition to maritime merchants and displaced households, there were also scribes from Zhejiang and Fujian who had been out of scientific research for a long time and were forced to come to Jeju to make a living. They were hired by merchants to do calculations and other things in Jeju. They traveled across the ocean to seek a living. Even if they were reading Confucian books in the past, most of them did not respect Confucianism at this time, and pragmatism became the primary standard to follow. Therefore, the development of Zaxue in Jeju was particularly active.

The Jeju Governor’s Office was also the first place to abolish the old system of servants, fully implement the new employment system, and the registration system for naturalization of trading companies; other new policies and new systems that were traditionally favored in the Central Plains were easily implemented in Jeju, and suffered little resistance.

Of course, in order to ensure the core position of Jeju Island on the Haedong Commercial Road, the main force of the Haedong camp army with a strength of up to 15,000 troops is also stationed in the northern military fortress of Jeju City all the year round.

It is precisely because he controls such a place to ensure that Huaidong can directly extract nearly four million silver dollars in military resources every year from the Haidong Shang Road, so that Lin, Song, Chen, Zhou, Sun and others surround the perimeter of the Chongdong government. The power can extract nearly ten million silver dollars from the Haidong Business Road every year...

The moment they landed on Jeju Island, Zhang Yubo, Zhao Shuhan and others suddenly understood that Lin Fu kicked them to Jeju, not to banish them to the wild land and punish them for being disobedient to Huaidong, but to take the living Facts teach them a lesson, and tell them to open their eyes to the world: in the face of the new empire that is about to be established and prosperous, Yuan Yue is so rotten, sullen, weak and incapable of saving...

Zhang Yubo, Zhao Shuhan and others came half a month earlier than Song Shixian, Luo Wenhu and the others.

In the past two weeks, they could only settle down in Jeju City first, and they didn't have time to go to Fukuang and Songpo. Zhang Yubo, as an inspector, has very little real power, but he has the same rank as the governor of Jeju, and has a special official residence.

Zhao Shuhan, Fan Jiliang, Chen Yu and others all brought their wives and children, and stayed in the post house where the governor's mansion was assigned to the dispatched officers. In fact, it was also a brick building next to each other, but the rank was not as strict as the governor's and the governor's official residence.

There is no discomfort in life. Although Jeju is small, it is much more standardized and tidy than Gangning City in terms of hygiene and transportation. Compared with Jeju City, Gangning City, which has not fully recovered from the war, is more like a city. It's a backcountry.

Zhang Yubo, Zhao Shuhan, Fan Jiliang, and Chen Yu cried and cried all the way, searching for life and death for the children who came to Jeju, and quickly adapted to life in Jeju. Chen Enze and Zhou Guangdong are not in Jeju for the time being. Ma Yigong, Zhou Guitang and other core figures in Jeju's military, government and business can understand Lin Fu's thoughts. Not only will they not make things difficult for Zhang Yubo and the others, but they should try to integrate them into the Jeju military and political system.

The half-month time passed by like a stream of light and shadows. Zhang Yubo and Zhao Shuhan have not recovered from the initial shock. Song Shixian and Luo Wenhu came to Jeju with Chen Enze, and they brought two amazing news: one is that Lin Fu decided to send troops to participate in the Korean Civil War and open up the second battle against Yanhu; the second is that Song Shixian led a team to Jeju to observe the solar eclipse. New said.

The second news is especially surprising.

Although they parted ways in the later period due to different political opinions, Lin Fuxing Zaxue and Zhao Shuhan wrote books and taught Zaxue craftsmanship in Jiangning Thatched Cottage for many years. The great master figure.

When Zhao Shuhan was sorting out the calendar in his early years, he noticed the problem of recording jet lag in different places for the same solar eclipse, but the sage's theory of "the sky is round and the place" is too deep-rooted, and Zhao Shuhan dared not think about it.

In fact, in the early years, astrology was also banned because it contradicted the sage's theory of "the sky is round and the place is round". It's just that astrology has a wider use than a compass in navigation, so it was secretly passed down among the seamen—

Huaidong's ability to traverse the East China Sea also benefited from the promotion of astrology. Without this technical means called isolatitude navigation, Huaidong would not have been able to implement direct flights between Chongzhou and Jeju Island.

After all, Zhao Shuhan is very different from the traditional Confucianism. Huaidong's perfection of astrology, and his credit, will deduce the "heliocentric theory" of the phenomenon of "eclipse and jet lag", which is almost a simple exchange with Song Shixian between the banquets. In between, let’s go through it completely.

In fact, in addition to the time difference of solar eclipse; in the past thousand years, everyone who has profound attainments in astronomy and calendar, in fact, many of them are sages who "the sky is round, the sun, moon and stars orbit the earth". If the words contradict, it can be explained by the "heliocentric theory".

These observation records were not included in the mainstream of Confucianism, but were recorded one after another in the literati's notes.

Zhao Shuhan spent ten years writing "The Craftsman's Canon", and he has systematically combed all the miscellaneous books he has read in half his life. He is almost the most read person in the world, and he has carefully considered all kinds of heresies. It can be said that the doctrine of saints passed down by mainstream Confucianism has long been fragmented in his heart. It's just that due to the fact that the traditional forces are extra large, Zhao Shuhan didn't dare to go to the bottom of it, and he didn't have the ability to make a powerful heretical voice.

This time, Lin Fu strongly supported the test, and the purpose was to overthrow the old theory of Confucianism.

With the support of Lin Fu, who controls the military and politics of the world and has 400,000 elite soldiers and horses behind him, no matter how deep and huge the traditional influence of Confucianism is, at least on the bright side, Zhao Shuhan and the others don't have to worry about discussing subversive new theories. will be publicly persecuted.

Zhao Shuhan and Song Shixian are both great masters in miscellaneous studies. In the past, they were limited by political opinions and rarely communicated. At this time, they had the opportunity to have a banquet together in Jeju. When they talked about the history of astronomy and stars that both of them were good at, it was naturally interesting to vote.

Unconsciously, the two of them talked more and more deeply, and soon Chen Enze, Ma Yigong, Zhang Yubo and others were put aside and ignored.

Chen Enze and Zhang Yubo were okay. After all, they had something to do with the astronomical calendar. They could barely understand what Song Shixian and Zhao Shuhan were talking about. among.

It's just that Song Shixian is a figure listed as a scholar of Chongxueguan by Lin Fuqin.

Chongxueguan Grand Master is just an honorary title. If there is anything special about it, Lin Fu also took the Chongxueguan Grand Master by himself, which is to raise the honor of Chongxueguan Grand Master to a height that others can look up to. , in order to strengthen the status of Zaxue in the secular world.

Although Song Shixian's real power is far less than that of the military and government officials at the level of commanders and governors, Ma Yigong, Chen Enze and others really can't be careless to Song Shixian, even if it sounds boring, they have to sit patiently.

If you are given the hat of disrespecting the great master of Zaxue, you may be transferred to which corner to go horse-grazing the next day.

On the other hand, Zhang Yubo let go and laughed with Zhao Shuhan and Song Shixian: "You guys are so fascinated by the conversation, this wine is cold..."

In Jiangning, Song Shixian has some quasi-master-level figures who can talk to him. This time, he brought a large group of people to Haidong to observe the solar eclipse, but the knowledge of these craftsmen is not as good as his, and he has not been able to find anyone who can talk to him. People, catching Zhao Shuhan is also a rare pleasure to talk about.

Listening to Zhang Yubo's arguing, Song Shixian said, "You guys are drinking, don't pay attention to us." Thinking that others couldn't understand the astronomical calendar he and Zhao Shuhan were talking about, he pulled Zhao Shuhan up and said, "Let's go, let's talk somewhere else, don't talk about it. Influence them to drink..." He left the crowd and ignored them.

Ma Yigong and others also smiled bitterly at Song Shixian's inhumanity, but Lin Fu regarded him as a treasure. Of course, Song Shixian's inhumanity was notorious in Huaidong, so everyone ignored it and the banquet went on quickly.

Zhang Yubo, Fan Jiliang, and Chen Yu could not find Zhao Shuhan after the banquet, so they went back to their residence first.

On the carriage, Fan Jiliang couldn't hold back his doubts, and asked Zhang Yubo, "Duke Chongguo's massive observation of the solar eclipse is intended to overthrow the saying that the sky is round and the sun, moon, and stars travel around the earth. To establish a new school, but it will also fundamentally shake the saying of 'inheriting the destiny' - what does Duke Chongguo want?"

Fan Jiliang didn't say a word during the banquet, and others just thought he couldn't understand the conversation between Song Shixian and Zhao Shuhan~www.wuxiaspot.com~ But Fan Jiliang could be mediocre if he could rely on the former Prime Minister Chen Xi and hire him as a staff member. generation?

Much of what Lin Fu does now is to prepare for the abolition of Yuan and self-reliance, but since Lin Fu wants to become emperor and create a new empire, how can he shake the foundation of the destiny?

The fact that Confucianism, which speaks for the sages, can completely become mainstream is actually a combination of the theories of the pre-Qin scholars and a hundred schools of thought, with "inheriting the destiny" as the core, and creating a complete set of theoretical foundations for the imperial mandate. Even when the dynasty is replaced and the country is established, it is also necessary to follow the theory of "virtue of the five elements, mutual restraint", which is naturally the foundation of "the art of the emperor".

People such as Fan Jiliang and Zhang Yubo naturally do not believe in the saying of "inheriting the destiny", and some ambitious people are even more rebellious with the rebellious idea of ​​"the emperor and the general, what kind of seeds are there", but it is necessary to consolidate the imperial power , it is necessary to need a set of theory called the general public convincing.

Confucianism later regarded the Four Books and Five Classics as the fundamental classics, but in fact, some content in the Four Books and Five Classics that contradicted the statement of the mandate of heaven was completely deleted. And the root of miscellaneous arts and craftsmanship is not to rise. After the rise of Zaxue and craftsmanship, it will inevitably have a subversive impact on the traditional theory of "imperial authority and destiny". The ancestors have long seen this clearly.

It is understandable for Lin Fu to establish a craftsmanship and a variety of studies because of practical needs, but he has already achieved success and will establish a new dynasty and inherit the great lineage. This theoretical basis really makes people like Fan Jiliang and Zhang Yubo take a lot of effort...

Of course, even if Lin Fu doesn't need to "inherit the destiny" to consolidate his authority, he has already grasped the military and political power in the world, but he will pass it on to his son and his son to his grandson. to make?
