Chapter 64 Self-recommendation and strong recommendation
After two consecutive days of general browsing, 20 of the more than 300 policy papers were selected and listed among the top ones. Among them, 13 held radical views and seven held prudent views.
Like the debates on Mount Lu and in the court, the ideas of preaching in the Hongyuan area were roughly divided into two obvious factions in more than 300 policy treatises. Either radical or prudent.
The radicals, represented by Jing Zhimo of the Tongchuan Prefecture Prison, advocated the strong consolidation of the three Hongyuan tribes. In addition to retaining the names of the three tribes, they almost completely tore up the original agreement. The advantage was that it dealt with it decisively and did not leave any problems for the future.
It has future troubles, but its shortcomings are also obvious. It can easily provoke civil uprisings in the three tribes and leave a stain on Ming Dynasty for not keeping its promises. If similar things happen in the future, it will be difficult for the other side to accept the choice of surrender.
The prudent faction, represented by Xue Tengbin of the Qingyang Palace Supervisor in Kuizhou, advocates prudent progress and slowly plans it. It is recommended that it be slowly digested and absorbed in three to five years. Its advantage is that it keeps its promises and sets an example for those who come after it. In the short term, it can
It plays a role in calming people's hearts. The disadvantage is that once time passes, it is easy to form customization, which may lay the foundation for future governance.
There are seven or eight other well-written articles, but they are either off topic or have weird content, but they may have merit in the future. These are also classified into one category. These include articles by Song Zhiyuan and Bai Tengming.
Zhao Ran's policy theory was criticized as "strange talk and inconsistent with the old system", but the ideas in it are still worth learning from, so it is also included in these seven or eight articles.
After reading 300 policy papers in two days, even if it was just a rough look, Li Yunhe, who is known for his high energy, felt exhausted.
In any case, there was no energy to carefully consider the remaining twenty high-quality policy papers, so the few of them dispersed and took a rest.
Li Yunhe returned to his room and saw Zhao Zhixing waiting at the door, so he asked, "Why is Zhixing here?"
Zhao Zhixing said: "It's past dinner time. Seeing that the prison hospital hasn't eaten yet, I came over to ask."
Li Yunhe laughed and said: "It's true, I forgot to eat. It's all up to me. They came over just now and said they wanted to deliver food. They were in the middle of a discussion, so they were sent away by me. It's okay for me to be hungry at home.
But they were so tired that Lao Zhao and the others didn't eat, which is really a shame."
Zhao Zhixing hurriedly said: "It's okay, everyone knows that the matter is of great importance. What we are discussing is the life and death of the entire Songfan Guards of 350,000 people. We can't be careless. Zhao Du will not mind if they are in charge. I just told the cook
It’s agreed that the food will be brought to each room.”
Li Yunhe nodded and said, "Thank you for helping me, why don't you go and rest at such a late hour."
Zhao Zhixing said: "If there is no rest in the prison, where can I rest?" As he said that, he followed Li Yunhe into the room, took off the food box on his shoulder, and took out four side dishes and a bag from the layers of boxes inside.
Bowl of japonica rice.
Li Yunhe washed his hands and face under Zhao Zhixing's service, sat down at the table, picked up chopsticks and ate while Zhao Zhixing went to make hot tea for him.
Li Yunhe ate very quickly. He finished the meal in less than a moment, and even the last grain of japonica rice in the bowl stuck out his tongue and rolled it into his stomach. He burped, took the hot tea from Zhao Zhixing, and asked: "You know
There are 350,000 Songfan Guards?"
Zhao Zhixing said: "There are more than 76,200 households with more than 357,300 people, including 24,300 military households. This is the number in January last year, excluding the 60,000 in Hongyuan Sanbu."
Eight thousand nine hundred people.”
"Have you checked?"
"Yes, I went to the governor's office to inquire about the files."
"Do you want to go to Hongyuan?"
"I listen to the prison. I will go wherever the prison tells me to go."
Li Yunhe smiled, pointed at Zhao Zhixing and said, "Such a slippery statement deserves a beating! Just tell me whether you want to go."
Zhao Zhixing also laughed: "I want to go, not just to raise the half-square. Even if I don't mention the half-square, I will go. In December last year, I went to the Governor's Yamen to ask for a response from the Songfan Guards.
file."
Li Yunhe nodded: "I'm interested. Songfanwei is not such an easy place to go, so why do you want to go there?"
Zhao Zhixing said: "I just want to do something, something really practical. I was welcomed and sent off in the Xuanyuan Guest Hall. Although it also exercised people, I couldn't show my talents after all. I just wanted to know if I could do anything.
, can you do something?"
Li Yunhe pondered for a moment and asked: "Then do you think you are suitable?"
Zhao Zhixing thought for a while and said: "I don't know either. After all, I have only served as a Zhike in Guyang County for a while. I have insufficient qualifications and lack of experience. This is my biggest shortcoming, but I am willing to do things and hope to make a difference for our Xuanyuan Temple."
On weekdays, I have also asked Senior Brother Song for advice on methods and tips for preaching down below, and I have gained some insights."
Li Yunhe said: "Qualifications and experience are not a problem. No one is born with it. Without experience, where will the qualifications and experience come from? Let me ask you another question. Apart from you, who do you think is more suitable to go to Hongyuan?
Host a sermon?"
Zhao Zhixing said without hesitation: "Zhao Zhiran, be the one who wishes the blessing of Junshan Temple."
Li Yunhe was stunned: "Why him? With his current position, he is far from being able to host a sermon in Hongyuan."
Zhao Zhixing said: "It's far behind, so it's a pity. But since the prison court asked me, I can only say that the most suitable person to go to Hongyuan to host the sermon is Zhao Zhiran. It's not about his position, but his ability."
Li Yunhe said with great interest: "His ability? What ability do you like in him?"
"Be brave, dare to do things, and have the courage to take responsibility."
"Did Zhao Zhiran leave an impression on you during your stay at Wujiyuan in Guyang County?"
Zhao Zhixing recalled: "I remember that at that time, as the leader of the party, Zhao Zhiran's duty was to protect the country and the people and eradicate evil spirits. He did a good job in this and there was nothing to criticize. But in addition to being a good leader, he
Starting from a charity hall, the reform of youth money gradually started, and the people in Guyang County benefited from it, and they were called Zhao Shenxian in private."
Li Yunhe joked: "He is originally the immortal master who cultivates immortality in the pavilion."
Zhao Zhixing also smiled: "His fortune is indeed good, but it is a pity that we do not have such blessings. However, he had not yet entered the palace at that time, and he had no practice at all. The people called him a god, which was a word of praise for him."
Li Yunhe nodded and said: "If there are a few more 'immortals' like this in our Taoist sect, then the Ming Dynasty will be at peace."
Zhao Zhixing continued: "Later, when Guyang County was held accountable for the death of Zhang Yunzhao, only he and Senior Brother Song Zhiyuan stood up and took all the blame and tried their best to protect the others from being severely punished, so I say he
He is a person who is able to do things, dares to do things, and has the courage to take responsibility. The situation in Hongyuan needs such a person to preside over it."
Seeing Li Yunhe thinking deeply, Zhao Zhixing added: "Even though he suffered setbacks, he went to Junshan Temple and did an outstanding job. The Supervisory Office also read the Jiajing Nineteenth Year Credit Order Book issued by the General Office. Junshan Temple is the best in the country.
Among more than 100 rural temples in Sichuan Province, it ranks first in terms of credibility!"
