Chapter seven hundred and forty-ninth national scholar Cai Jing
After handling the official affairs of the Department of Culture and Education, Cai Jing returned home early. At this age, he is still working hard on the front line. He is truly a model worker.
But Cai Jing is such a person, and if he is allowed to do this, he will probably become depressed and age faster.
When he entered the house, someone already told him that Yang Lin had arrived.
When Cai Jing heard this, he hurried to the flower hall with the help of his concubine.
I saw Yang Lin and two girls looking at a calligraphy painting on the wall of the flower hall. It was a picture of mountains and rivers that I copied.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, Yang Lin turned around and said with a smile: "The grand master is back. He came uninvited and asked Haihan to come."
Cai Jing smiled heartily and said, "I'm glad you asked for it. Please take a seat."
Yang Lin was not polite and followed him to the reception room in the flower hall, where he sat on the floor with a small table and two futons.
The two daughters refused to leave him, holding his arms one on the left and the other on the right. They neither cried nor fussed, and were very well-behaved and cute. This admiration made Cai Jing very jealous.
The concubine who was on duty today knelt down and sat aside, pouring tea for the two of them.
The steam was steaming, and Yang Lin smiled and said: "Grand Master, I have read the previous edict, and it is very well written. Bai Shizhong and I have agreed on the name of the country, and it has been tentatively named Yan Kingdom."
Cai Jing frowned when he heard this and said, "Is it a little off?"
Yang Lin didn't care and said: "It's nothing more than a national title."
Cai Jing shook his head and said: "Nowadays, the territory is different from the past, and the number of people is tens of billions. If Yan is used as the name of the country, extending as far as Baidali in the south and Tianshan in the west, I am afraid that the sense of belonging will be worse."
Yang Lin disagreed in his heart, but decided to follow the good deeds. After all, people cannot always have a long-term vision. The more power they gain, the more they feel that there is no harm in listening to the words of such veterans.
"What do you think, Grand Master?"
Cai Jing was very satisfied. When Yang Lin followed him in the past, although he always told others that he was his disciple.
But every time he speaks, he doesn't care whether he wants to listen or not. He always has his own ideas.
Now that this person is in a high and powerful position, the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty are listening to his orders, but he has become more like a follower of good deeds.
Not only will they discuss major matters with themselves, but nine times out of ten they will adopt the ideas they have worked so hard to come up with.
This is the demeanor of a wise king, which makes Cai Jing feel relieved. After Yang Wenyuan becomes emperor, he will not become a willful person.
Cai Jing took a sip of tea and said: "We, the Central Plains, live in the middle of the world. During the time of Zhuxia, our ancestors said, 'The rest of the people lived in China and created the people from there.' It is said that 'the emperor has a way and guards the four barbarians'. China
Those who live in the middle of heaven and earth are called China, and the barbarians live on the side of heaven and earth, so why not call them China!"
"China?" Yang Lin read out and sang unconsciously in his heart, "We have a big China, what a big family."
For some reason, he chuckled and said: "Although China is good, it is too dramatic..."
Cai Jing looked confused and asked: "What does it mean to act?"
Yang Lin shook his head and said, "Master, think of another one."
Cai Jing took a long breath and thought for a moment. After all, he was very knowledgeable. He said: "Chinese are barbarians, and they don't take the lead. The people who admire Hua Zhang are called Hua, and the great country is called Xia. Since it has opened up a territory that has never been seen in ancient times, it can be called
Summer."
"Da Xia? Li Thief rebelled and established a country called Xia. Are they closer?"
Cai Jing said disapprovingly: "The barbarians of the Tuoba family pretended to be the Li family and used the country's name without permission. They have never been recognized. How can I, a great man, avoid the barbarians? It's like a barbarian from Huawai who picked up Hua.
Wearing clothes makes people feel complacent. Is it possible that the Han people will no longer wear beautiful clothes from now on? Although the world is vast, we have never heard of this kind of truth."
"Are there any good ones?"
Cai Jing pointed at him with a smile and said, "You always like to cast more nets and pick bigger fish."
After pondering for a moment, Cai Jing said: ""Gongyang Zhuan·Yin Gong Year": Who is the Yuan? It is also the first year of the king. If everything is renewed, it can be called the Great Yuan!"
Yang Lin took a sip of tea and almost spit it out. If he thought about it carefully, there was no Yuan Dynasty established by the Mongolian Tatars at this time, so it is no wonder that Cai Jing could come up with this country name.
"This is absolutely forbidden." Yang Lin quickly shook his head. Cai Jing didn't know what made him so taboo, so he didn't ask further and thought about it silently.
"The First Emperor followed the tradition of the Five Virtues of the First Dynasty and thought that the Zhou Dynasty had the virtue of fire. Now Wenyuan calls it Chiyang. The red one is the color of fire; the yang one is even strong and fierce, like the golden crow and the fire. If so, it can be called the Great Zhou Dynasty.
!”
Dazhou reminded him of the story of the cooking class, the fire-powered soldiers riding small three-wheelers to buy vegetables. Yang Lin didn't want to waste any more time and said: "Let's call it Xia. In ancient times, the dynasty began with summer, and now it ends with summer.
Isn’t it beautiful to change?”
Cai Jing nodded, no matter which one, he proposed it himself.
What he prefers most is China, and the word "中" is so beloved by literati like Cai Jing.
Yang Lin immediately put forward the biggest purpose of his trip and asked: "Grand Master, I want to choose a place to build a city and move the capital to Xiong County, Hebei Province."
Cai Jing nodded and said: "Nowadays, within the four seas, only the Northland has been isolated and humiliated all year round, without the protection of the Central Plains. Most of the people in the North are resentful. If the capital is established here, it will control Liaodong in the north, the grasslands in the west, and Mobei."
, is a good strategy.”
As soon as Cai Jing agreed, Yang Lin felt more at ease, and then asked: "If we build a city, it will inevitably require a large number of manpower. In addition, the development of Liaodong, Wuzhi, and the expansion of the five capitals are all huge projects. Therefore, I plan to recruit some permanent personnel.
The manpower is dedicated to building cities, but also building roads and laying bridges. What does the Grand Master think?"
Cai Jing seemed a little excited, and the concubine next to him was surprised to find that his master had been busy all morning and was in better spirits than when he came back. He Zhanyan said: "After the New Deal, people's power is precious and rare. Wen Yuan's intention coincides with mine.
"
"Is it established by the imperial court, or is it established by the private sector and hired by the imperial court?"
"Everyone needs it! The imperial court will set up one, and the private sector will set up hundreds or thousands of them, and they will be used through bidding. Only by controlling the situation can we make the best use of materials and people. If we only rely on one person, I am afraid that it will deteriorate too quickly, people will be too busy to do things, and work will be passive and slow."
.”
Yang Lin suddenly realized that Yang Tianxian couldn't bear it anymore and tickled him beside him.
Yang Lin was unmoved and just discussed the details with Cai Jing.
Yang Lin and Cai Jing seemed to have reached a state of selflessness. The more they talked, the more they became more and more speculative, and they did not even feel their daughter's mischief.
Yang Tianxian was bored and started playing with his sister. Only then did Yang Lin realize that it was getting late.
Cai Jing's body needed to rest. Normally, he would have rested long ago. He quickly stood up and said, "Listening to an elder's words is better than ten years of studying. It's getting late today, so I won't delay the master's lunch break."
After saying that, he stood up and couldn't wait to go back, preparing to form a dual engineering team of the imperial court and the private sector.
Now that the new dynasty has been established, it must open up a prosperous age that is different from the past, and let this land of China have a different look.
