When later generations talk about the emperors and ministers of the Jianyan generation, Fan Chengda deserves to be ranked second in terms of poetry and prose. The first is of course the grand Zhao Guan family. But Fan Chengda was able to defeat Xin Qiji, Lu You and even his friend Yang Wanli, and he was able to prosper in the literary world.
Jian Yannian stood out because he was a secretary of the navy and popularized science among soldiers, and he had many years of contact with fishermen and other lower-class people.
Even in his official career, Fan Chengda was appointed magistrate of Dantu County and Zhenjiang Prefecture because he cared about people's livelihood.
In the words of Zhao Jiu, "Zhi Neng (Fan Cheng) is a person who is rooted in the soil and can maintain peace. He can understand the sufferings of the people and create original poetry in the countryside, which is enough to leave a name for future generations. It seems that King Lu's
You really have a good eye.”
Let me talk about it here. Fan Chengda’s father-in-law, King Zhang Rong of Lu, was granted the title of king based on his merit. Although the system of the Song Dynasty did not allow the hereditary succession of kings and titles, Zhao Jiu established an intermediate system. Except for the special case of Li Shifu and Wang De, heirs could have direct heirs.
One person ascends the throne and becomes a duke. In the next life, he will become a marquis. His great-grandchildren will be regarded as ordinary officials' children. If you want to restore the glory of your ancestors, just keep working hard.
Considering that the officials had been in charge of the world for more than 20 years when they established this system, and more importantly, among the eighteen kings of Jianyan, who had no heirs to inherit? Anyone who disagrees is tantamount to offending people like Han Shizhong, Wu Jie, and Zhang Jun. Be careful.
Don't get hacked at work one day.
But having said that, this matter has little to do with handsome ministers and sons-in-law like Fan Chengda and Yu Yunwen. That is to say, after the matter was settled, I accompanied my wife back to her parents' house for a drink, and listened to my old father-in-law hugging her with emotion.
My son cried and said that our family is no longer a mud-legged family.
The eight-year-old brother-in-law didn't have much idea. He just wanted to go out and have fun. However, the newly married Prince of Huai, Zhao Dan, was still in the mood to chat with his father-in-law, which made both Yu Yunwen and Fan Chengda feel that this man was afraid of a rough meal tonight.
But after drinking this meal, Fan Chengda quickly left for Liaodong to take up his post. Over the years, in order to solve the problem of enough food for the people of the Song Dynasty, the Zhao Guan family vigorously carried out agricultural development in Huguang and Liaodong. This was originally in line with Confucian values, but
Everything is afraid of a vested interest group. There are fertile fields thousands of miles away in the east and west of Liaoning, and one is close to the grassland. The area under its jurisdiction is rich in fishing, hunting, nomadic and farming peoples, and the development of agriculture is the national policy set by the Zhao Guan family. So grassland horse breeding and Xing'anling mink ginseng
Trade is also an important export commodity of Liaodong Port, and various local conflicts have broken out.
However, there is no way to say who is right or wrong in these things, so the Zhao family had no choice but to promote Zong Ying, who was good at people's livelihood, as the economic and strategic envoy of the two Liaos, and Fan Chengda, who went deep into the countryside, as the prefect of Changchun and concurrently as the envoy of the two Liaos. Together, they could mediate ethnic conflicts and build the Great Northern Wilderness.
Bar!
In his early years, Zong Ying accompanied his father to guard Tokyo. Later, he worked as a housekeeper for Zhao Guan's family. Later, he became a model for mediating conflicts between the army and the people in Hedong. Recently, he married King Yue Wei. Yaneizi, who was born in Enyin, became a manager.
Everyone admired him. Anyway, Lu Haowen, Yu Wenxuzhong and even Zhao Ding envied Zongze. As a subordinate, of course Fan Chengda had to pay homage to the dock first.
Fortunately, Zong Ying was also a hard-working person. He discussed official matters with just a few polite words, "In the Liao region, grasslands and wild forests occupy a large area. Let's not talk about the Khitan Autonomous Road for the time being. According to the official's wishes, this
The Three Eastern Provinces, I don’t know what they are. Anyway, it should refer to the Guochao land north of Yuguan. The land in the north of Guan is mostly black soil. It can not only grow soybeans and sorghum, but also produce one crop per season.
The rice tastes very good. My dear brother, I have always been good at agriculture, would you like to teach me?"
Yes, Zong Ying has never been a particularly smart person, but he is good at learning.
However, although Fan Chengda likes rural life, he is not an old farmer after all. His family has been rich for generations, and he has no experience in digging food from the soil. So he smiled bitterly and said: "The words are brief, but if we talk about the circular economy of rice fields and fish ponds, I will get the official decree."
After several years of piloting in Mingzhou, I do have some experience, but I am not afraid of your jokes. This is the first time for me, a Jiangnan native, to come to this ice and snow place in my life, and I have not followed the three elders in the field to inspect it, so I really can’t say it.
"His father-in-law was particularly interested in the paddy fields and forced his second son-in-law to get him a few acres in Surabaya, his hometown. But even if the dignified King Lu screwed up, he wouldn't be able to starve him. Magistrate Xiao Fan thought of the difficulty of farmers and didn't dare to do it without him.
Feel free to use it based on experiments.
After all, agriculture has always paid attention to weather and geographical conditions since ancient times, and in this place north of the Liaohe River, where one crop a year is barely enough, if you let the people of a state or a prefecture starve to death, it will shake the foundation of the rule of Zhao and Song Dynasty.
Fortunately, Zong Ying did not want to turn him into a contemporary Shennong immediately. The two made an appointment to go to the fields for inspection the next day and patrol the territory. Seeing that Fan Cheng was about to leave at night, he suddenly heard the sound of the neighing of military horses.
In the peaceful and prosperous times, when the Changchun government office of the two Liao Dynasties came here on horseback, there must be something big going on.
Sure enough, the person who came turned out to be Ma Yu, the former military commander of the imperial camp. He brought news from the front line. It turned out that Zhang Xuansu, an undercover agent of the Song Dynasty in the 18th year of the Qing Dynasty, was exposed. The king wanted to kill him, but he didn't know.
Zhang Xuansu sold many secrets, so he was imprisoned first.
Fortunately, there was more than one spy in the Military Statistics Department, and the Qing nobles were also interested in Yanjing, so they sent the news out at night.
Zong Ying immediately said: "This is a big deal, we must tell the officials and Mr. Hu immediately."
Ma Yusa's whole body was covered with sweat from running in the cool autumn day, and he said: "Report the summary to Caosi (another name for the transshipment envoy). The former army has already gone to Yanjing non-stop, but we all said that Chief Zhang is the pillar of the country.
I am afraid that he will be harmed by the Tatars, so I would like to ask the manager to give me a message. At least we have to wait until the officials in Yanjing to get a reply."
This is what it should be. During the Jianyan period, the civil and military systems were divided, but generally speaking, there was a somewhat "big official responsible system" for emergencies. Just like such a big matter, it must be decided by the officials, but here
Previously, the civil and military officials in the Northeast could not watch Zhang Xuansu die. But Zong Ying and Li Yanxian had been partners for many years and had hardly ever taken responsibility or even worried about military mobilization. They were really numb for a while.
At this time, Fan Chengda suddenly said: "Based on the strategy, it is easy to cause trouble if we mobilize troops at this time. It was not done by the ministers. How about I go there in my official capacity?"
Before Zong Ying could say anything, Ma Yu was so frightened that he almost fell down, "Caosi, what are you talking about? Absolutely no way!" Who in the former army didn't know that Li Xianggong almost killed him, and Tang Huai was so frightened that he almost fell down.
In this life, he had no chance to control the former army, so Li Dao lived a depressed life.
Fan Chengda had obviously thought of this incident and said with a smile: "Ma Tongzheng, you should not be anxious. I don't have the ability of Mr. Li, so how could he have such a big temper? Besides, there is no official decree for this trip.
, but I can’t speak directly about Zhang Xuansu, I just plan to talk to the country leader about the environmental protection issues on our border with the friendship of the same year."
Yes, both Fan Chengda and Wanyan Yong, the leader of the Qing Dynasty, were Jinshi in the 11th year of Jianyan's reign. If Wanyan Yong hadn't used the wrong taboos, he would have done better than those who were descendants of officials in recent generations!
Zong Ying was silent, obviously digesting what Fan Chengda said, but Ma Yu really didn't understand. He was thinking about environmental protection, but in view of some allusions, he didn't dare to say it for some reason.
But he was also a warrior. He didn't understand, but Zhang Xian understood. After receiving Fan Chengda, he immediately dispatched a hundred soldiers to send him to Huining Mansion. Sure enough, when he came down, when people from Honglu Temple in the Qing Dynasty received him,
I asked him if he had credentials or official documents. Fan Chengda naturally said that he didn't, but that he had to talk to the king of your country as part of his ginseng trading duties. He declined, saying that he didn't need to bother the king with these small matters. Fan Chengda actually said that he was the same age.
He gave Wan Yanyong a gift as his identity, and successfully made the Jurchen high-level officials so angry that they wanted to kill him.
Wanyanyong looked at the hardcover editions of "History of Western Xia" and "History of Jin" in his hand, and his temples were twitching. Wanyanyong was so angry that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas were reborn in heaven - they were close and could clearly see
The "History of the Jin Dynasty" sent by Fan Chengda has bolded the Hongya section.
He shouted angrily: "A small local official dares to threaten us like this. Lord, do you still have to endure it? I told you to chop off that old man Zhang Xuansu's head and give him a gift in return."
Wu Lin, who was already old, replied to Zan Mo but said: "No, this will anger Zhao Song officials." Seeing Wan Yanliang's dissatisfaction, he sighed: "Di Gunai, I know you have suffered a lot of injustice in Tokyo. But I will spend my whole life
We are all eating from foreign affairs, so we understand His Majesty Zhao Song. If you kill Zhang Xuansu, if he also names the heads of the descendants of the Yanyun clan who came here, will you give them or not?"
Wanyan Liang was stunned, but Wanyan Mouyan, the supervisor of the East Route Army, had already yelled: "Of course I won't give it. After Zhang Xuansu was exposed, many people were very anxious. If Zhao Song still allowed Zhao Song to kill someone by name, they would definitely run away.
.”
As soon as he finished speaking, many people began to sigh. Apparently, they remembered the incident of naming and killing seventeen years ago by Zhao Guan's family. The person killed was the ruling prince of the Jin Kingdom. In fact, it was equivalent to the annihilation of the Jin Kingdom. Looking at the book "
"Jin History", I can only say that under the mighty trend, the feeling of not being able to resist is too difficult.
So the next question is, if they could resist back then, why did Emperor Ai and the eldest prince die? Once they resisted, under the iron heel of the army, would the foundation of the current leader's efforts to implement sinicization reforms be completely lost?
Most of them are old and just want to bury their bones in the land of black mountains and white waters.
After a few breaths, everyone only heard Wan Yanyong say: "Okay, bring Zhang Xuansu out and tell Fan Chengda that the price of mink fur, ginseng, and wood has doubled this year, so it is Zhang Xuansu's purchase."
Life money."
As soon as he said this, even Wanyan Mouyan, who supported him the most, was stunned and said: "Master, how can you convince the ambitions of the government with such childish play? At least..."
"I know." Wanyanmou, who was always good-tempered, rarely interrupted him and said lonelyly: "I just want to come down and convince myself."
After Fan Chengda agreed to the money trade and wrote the guarantee document, Zhang Xuansu, who had been with the enemy for eighteen years, was finally released from prison. In May of the 27th year of Jianyan's reign, he returned to Yanjing, where he had been dreaming.
The family reunited and were received by Zhao Guan's family at the Queen's Daqing Hall.
It is said that many old people who experienced the humiliation of Jingkang cried with joy.
But after Zhao Guan's family heard about the cause and effect, they sighed: "Fan Chengda was a bit damaged, but he was dealt with in a timely manner. Zhengfu made a note of it and gave it to Zong Ying and Zhang Xian, Ma Yu took credit, and Fan Chengda didn't have to
Already."
Yang Yizhong was startled, and then he rarely said: "Guan family, is it Fan Caosi who did something bad?" Otherwise, it would be difficult for me to answer when his brother-in-law asked him!
"Of course, given the power of the Jurchen country and Wanyan Yong's temper, he can save at least half of the money. I have to find a way to deal with this wasteful thing in Liaodong."
