After arranging for the overjoyed old housekeeper to rest, Yun Zheng sat in the study and continued to look at the map. There was a reason why Changshan Island was chosen as the base of the Yun family.
Some reasons cannot be told to others, not even to Yun Er. The reasons he said are a bit reluctant, and Yun Er can also see it, but he has always respected his elder brother, so he does not object.
Yun Zheng has never thought about putting the Yun family outside the big family of Han people. If the location is chosen in Taiwan or Hainan Island, if he really takes over the Yanyun Sixteenth Prefecture, he wants such a deserted island to become his own
The emperor would agree to the family's habitat, because as long as he took the whole family by sea, he would basically be cut off from the path to power. This was a result that everyone in the Song Dynasty was willing to see.
Once you are crowned a king, the earth will be broken. This is something that is bound to happen... Once you are crowned a king, the path of a minister will reach its extreme. If you are already seventy or eighty years old, it is not unusual to be crowned a king, but you are still a young man now. Once
Being crowned king will attract everyone's attention. If you want to live happily for the rest of your life, you must either rebel or go to sea.
Speaking of which, the day Yanyun regained the Sixteenth Province was when he left the mainland...perhaps it was the beginning of his self-exile.
Yun Zheng didn't care about being exiled. For him, no place in the Song Dynasty belonged to him. No matter where he went, it was a new beginning.
Yun Er does not agree with the Song Dynasty, but after these years of struggle, Yun Zheng has slowly integrated into this country that makes him laugh and cry.
What concerned him physically and mentally was not the emperor lying on the bed, but the people living in this land.
After thinking for a long time, Yun Zheng sighed, rolled up the map and put it into Wenhai. When he turned around, he realized that Lu Qingqing had been sitting on the chair behind him for a long time.
"If your troubles come from us, you don't have to. You are the towering tree of our family, and we are the vines hanging on the tree. No matter where you go, we can only follow you. Without you,
Without support, we can only lie on the ground."
"Have Yun Er told you? I originally planned to tell you after thinking it over clearly. Yun Er and I are actually two passing passers-by to the Song Dynasty. We will shine like meteors and then fall silent. Changshan Island
It is a good place, where the Yun family can truly live for themselves."
Lu Qingqing smiled and said: "The general trend of the world is nothing more than division and consolidation. After the prosperity is gone, it will eventually return to mediocrity. How many people who live like firecrackers in their lives can have a good death?
Husband, you are the wise man in the world, and you know the way of advance and retreat. Since you say that this place is no longer suitable for us to live, we will just leave with you.
I just talked with the old housekeeper of the Shi family for a while and came to the conclusion that there were no aristocratic families in the Song Dynasty. What civil servants hated most was the formation of aristocratic families. They would not be willing to overthrow the aristocratic families. I heard that in the capital
Now there is a middle-aged Confucian scholar who is giving lectures. Everyone calls him Mr. Hengqu.
It is said that when he was the magistrate of Yunyan County, he was conscientious in his work and strict in his government orders. He put "honesty and good customs" as the first priority in handling political affairs, promoted virtuous government, paid attention to moral education, and promoted a social custom of respecting the elderly and caring for the young.
On the first day of every month, the elders from the village are summoned to the county government for a gathering. There is always a banquet and banquet. During the banquet, the people are asked about the sufferings of the people, and the principles and requirements for disciplining their children are put forward, as well as the regulations and notices of the county government. The elders from the village are summoned every time and repeatedly give instructions to those who attend the meeting.
Let them convey it to the villagers, so that even illiterate people and children will not be unaware of his teachings.
He also said that Qian is called father and Kun is mother, and the two are indifferent, and they are mixed in the middle. Therefore, the protection of heaven and earth is my body, the commander of heaven and earth is my nature, the people are my compatriots, and the things are my companions.
The great king is the eldest son of my parents; his ministers are the prime ministers of the eldest son's family. He respects the elderly because he grows older, and treats orphans like children because he is young. He is holy and virtuous, and he is virtuous and beautiful. All the people in the world are tired, disabled, and lonely. Widows and widowers are all those who have fallen in love with my brothers without complaining. "Protect them at the right time" are the wings of a son. "Be happy and not worry" are pure filial piety. Those who violate morality are called unethical, and those who harm benevolence are called thieves. Those who help evildoers are not talented, and those who practice their deeds are only modest.
The above words were praised by Cai Jue, Wen Yanbo, Ouyang Xiu, and Sima Junshi, who believed that this is how human ethics should be.
Queen Cao also said that this theory can be called "Guan Xue" and invited Zhang Zai to come to the palace to give lectures to the prince. I have read Zhang Zai's remarks and writings. Some of my opinions coincide with your thoughts. You are vague in your opinions, he is clear, and these are precisely the most important things."
Yun Zheng laughed and said: "My wife is indeed the pearl of Sichuan. Zhang Zai's theory is to order the young and old in an orderly manner, distinguishing between superiors and inferiors, and everyone should be in their proper place for the sake of others. Since his theory has been recognized by most people, I, Yun Zheng, have no choice but to run away. Do you think that if I run away, people will say that I am a coward who doesn't even dare to defend myself."
Lu Qingqing smiled and said, "Will you defend yourself?"
Yun Zheng shook his head and said: "No!"
"Why? My husband is also a talented person, why don't he create his own theory?"
Yun Zheng gritted his teeth and said, "I think having more children is the right thing to do."
Lu Qingqing suddenly burst into laughter, hugging Yun Zheng's neck and laughing so hard that he could hardly breathe. When his laughter stopped, he immediately said: "You are the most attractive husband to women. At least Zhang Hengqu couldn't say such interesting things as you. I thought about it carefully and found that having a husband who is a famous scholar in Neo-Confucianism is indeed a very boring thing.
Living this life with you is not in vain."
"You mean the stupider your husband is, the better?"
"That's what you mean. You also said that it's best for your wife to be beaten silly with a stick. I think so too. It's better for my husband to be honest."
Yun Zheng smiled bitterly and said: "Our husband and wife are already the famous two-idiot couple in Tokyo. There is no need to pretend that everyone knows it. Zhang Hengqu can do whatever he wants. Even if he is entitled to enjoy the Confucius Temple in the future, it has nothing to do with us. After regaining Yanyun, I will take your husband as an official to the limit, and then we will go fishing on the Bohai Sea and become pirates."
Lu Qingqing smiled and said: "Actually, you can go fishing on the sea now and become a pirate. With the abilities of you and your second uncle, it should not be a waste of effort to unify the seventy-two islands in the Bohai Sea. Then our family will build a palace on the island. Can Zhao Zhen still go to Changshan Island to punish you for your sins?"
Yun Zheng laughed and said: "This is inappropriate. If I had not gone to Lingnan in the early years, I could have taken Jiaziying to pacify the seventy-two islands. People, people generally don't cherish things that are too easy to get. You must be intentional Set a little difficulty for yourself to feel relaxed."
Naturally, the conversation between husband and wife in the boudoir was not allowed to be shared with outsiders, so Yun Zheng took his son and daughter to the mulberry forest one morning to pick mulberries. The mulberries in Dou Sha Village were already ripe and covered with purple and red trees.
When Yun Zheng came to Dou Sha Village, the first thing he ate was a handful of mulberries given by the mulberry picking girl. The sweet and sour taste can never be forgotten to this day.
Most of the mulberry trees in Chengdu Prefecture are very short, which makes it easier to pick mulberry leaves. The mulberry trees in Doushaguan are very tall, and some trees cannot be hugged. The mulberry picking girl climbed the tree with bare feet and was flexible on the tree.
Just like a monkey, Yun Luoluo, Yun Qianqian and Yun Ting are very envious.
In Dousha Village, the Marquis is worthless. Any old farmer can call the Marquis to come over and help his family with some farm work. This is how everyone lived before becoming a Marquis. Now that they have become the Marquis, everyone still lives like this. In the beginning
After being fresh for a few days, they were basically able to ignore the title Hou Ye. Especially after hearing the old patriarch say that Hou Ye was disobedient and being beaten with a broom by him, everyone looked at him with confused eyes.
There is no more oddity at all. After all, the biggest person in the village is still the old patriarch.
When Yun Zheng climbed the tree to pick mulberries, the three children, under the care of Ge Qiuyan, raised their heads and watched their father busy. Yun Zheng did not allow Ge Qiuyan to climb the tree. This ghost woman did not know that she was in Weiming's village.
I learned some strange things in school. I stopped wearing underpants before the weather got warmer. My legs were bare under my skirt. Even after being scolded by Lu Qingqing, I still didn't change.
The old patriarch has gone out from under the mulberry tree several times and is very busy. The old man is not only busy arguing with the government about the fields and villages after the Bo people leave, but also instructing the government officials in Dousha County to use the borrowed eight-niu crossbow.
Coat simple crossbow arrows with kerosene and burn all the hanging coffins on the cliff.
The successful expulsion of the Bo people this time has allowed the old patriarch's prestige to grow rapidly in eight villages. If nothing else, the cultivated land left by the Bo people is enough for everyone to share for a while. The land in Dousha County is too big.
Less is always not enough.
Yun Er led Qin Guo on horseback from outside. When he saw his eldest brother climbing a tree, he immediately jumped up from the horse and climbed into the mulberry tree. The three children who were flying among the branches applauded his second uncle in unison.
Their eyes were fixed on the second uncle's beautiful and thrilling movements, but they had long forgotten about their father who was lying on the tree trunk like a bear.
After a while, Yun Er picked a basket full and sent it down. Then he jumped on the tree and said to his elder brother who was eating mulberries: "Brother, the Shi family agreed to send three large ships for my use, but they did not sell them."
The plan of the ship, it seems that they just want to rely on our family."
Yun Zheng smiled and said: "On the sea, life and death are tied to the ship. How can you hand over your life to others, even the most trustworthy people? It is safe only if you have your own ship. A ship sailing across the South China Sea has ten rudders.
A boat can carry hundreds of people, store up a year's worth of food, and can also raise pigs and make wine on the boat.
Such a ship is called a ship. A sea-going ship with a carrying capacity of less than 15,000 tons cannot be called a real sea-going ship. The Ming, Wen, Taiwan, Wu and other prefectures in Zhejiang and Qian, Jizhou and Jinghu in Jiangxi
Tan, Ding and other prefectures, as well as Xiegu of Fengxiang Prefecture in Shaanxi Province, have become centers of the shipbuilding industry. The military production of the four coastal prefectures in Fujian ranks first in the country.
The location of ships. Last year, a total of 2,916 ships were built in the entire Song Dynasty. Among them, more than a thousand ships were built in Qianzhou and Jizhou in Jiangxi Province. Did the Shi family think that our family could not find a place to build good ships?
