"Students can give it a try, but students dare not speak nonsense..."
Wang Anshi was finally convinced by Kou Ji, but he just hung his head and hesitated, making Kou Ji uncomfortable.
"What's the problem?"
Kou Ji asked.
Wang Anshi raised his head and said bluntly: "A student alone cannot accomplish such a big thing."
Kou Ji chuckled lightly, "That's fine with Zeng Gong. Both you and Zeng Gong have followed the new learning and understood some of the true meaning of heaven and earth. If you delve deeper into the old learning, you may become sloppy.
Zeng Gong was good at calligraphy and annotating books.
With him behind your back, he can help you find the commonalities between Western culture and Confucianism, which will make it easier for you to act."
Wang Anshi felt more confident when he heard that Kou Ji was willing to let Zeng Gong come forward to help him, "Although Sima Junshi is a terrible person, he also has some talents that can be put to great use in the right place... Su Shi has a lot of beauty in his belly."
, although he is young, with a little training, he will definitely become a great help to students in the future."
Kou Ji patted the armrest of the seat and laughed out loud: "Your eyes are quite vicious. Apart from you and Zeng Gong, Su Shi is the most outstanding among my disciples.
There will definitely be some achievements in the future.
I'm very happy that you value him, it shows that you have a good vision in selecting people.
But I won't agree.
It's still useful if I keep him."
"Where is Sima Junshi?"
Kou Ji rejected Wang Anshi, but Wang Anshi was not disappointed. He knew that Su Shi was young and Kou Ji would definitely protect him.
But Kou Ji only mentioned Su Shi but not Sima Guang, which made him a little surprised.
In Wang Anshi's eyes, although Sima Guang had flaws in his character, he still had talents and means.
It is also a murderous weapon when used properly.
Kou Ji saw that Wang Anshi seemed to want to use Sima Guang, so he stared at Wang Anshi and said seriously: "Both you and Zeng Gong know that I don't like this person.
Logically speaking, it would be beneath my status for me, a prime minister, to argue with a common man.
But this person has great flaws, and he deliberately made friends with you and Zeng Gong, so his plans are certainly not small.
I don't object to young people being ambitious, but I don't like people who have ambitions but don't stick to them.
If you want to use this person, he should help you wholeheartedly and even gain your trust.
But once he replaces you as the leader of the new school, he will most likely overthrow the new school and make all your hard work go to waste."
Wang Anshi looked at Kou Ji suspiciously. He felt that Kou Ji was obviously a little worried.
But he didn't know that Kou Ji didn't worry too much, because this is what Sima Guang did in history books.
"Sir, if a student dares to use this person, he will have the means to control him."
Seeing Wang Anshi's assurance, Kou Ji nodded and said: "If you have the confidence to control him, then it's up to you. The only thing I can remind you is that this person is available, but you must not give up your high position to him.
"
Wang Anshi didn't understand why Kou Ji kept reminding him that Sima Guang would betray him, but Kou Ji always had the ability to recognize people. Since Kou Ji asserted that Sima Guang would be a repeater, he really had to pay more attention.
"Students understand..."
Kou Ji nodded and said: "Since you agreed to this, there are some things I can tell you straightforwardly. In fifteen days, the books on Dashi will be delivered to Bianjing City, and they will definitely attract the attention of thousands of people.
After the books are transported back to Bianjing City, they will be temporarily stored in Tiansheng Hall.
I have prepared some readers who are proficient in Dashi literature. You can take them to sort Dashi books.
Do not burn any books related to the sect.
Books on black magic based on human flesh and blood were also burned.
Not a single page can be left behind."
"witchcraft?"
Wang Anshi was a little shocked.
Kou Ji nodded and said solemnly: "There are some monsters among the people in the Song Dynasty who trick the wealthy people into using their children's confidants to make elixirs as medicine in order to live forever.
Western demons also concocted similar magic.
In order to prevent anyone from spreading it and causing harm to the world, they must be burned."
Wang Anshi nodded solemnly and said: "Such a witchcraft should indeed be burned."
Wang Anshi also became an atheist after studying the Western Principles of Heaven and Earth and the Principles of Heaven and Earth taught by Kou Ji.
He firmly believes that there are no gods and Buddhas in the world, so he naturally does not believe in any method of immortality.
Black magic that uses the human body as a guide is naturally heresy in his eyes, and he cannot tolerate it in his heart.
"It would be better to burn one more book than to reveal one page..."
"Students know the importance."
After getting Wang Anshi's promise, Kou Ji nodded and said: "After you sort all the books, I will send a group of craftsmen to engrave and reprint those books.
After the reprinting is completed, the reprinted books will be left in Tiansheng Hall.
I will send my place of origin to Korea."
Wang Anshi was stunned for a moment, frowned and said, "Why don't you leave your place of origin, sir?"
Kou Jixiao asked: "If the official family, or the official's successor, orders them to be burned, can you stop them? I will send them to Han and set the rules. As long as my descendants still control Han,
, which will not put them in any danger.
I will build a huge library in Korea in the future.
It will not only include Dashi books, but also Song Dynasty books.
I will try my best to include all the knowledge under the sun in it.
Leave a cultural legacy for us Song people."
Wang Anshi frowned even more tightly, "Sir, do you want to imitate the saint's collection of books? Don't you think highly of the Song Dynasty today?"
Kou Ji shook his head and smiled: "I created the Song Dynasty with my own hands, how could I not be optimistic about it? It is now at its peak in the Spring and Autumn Period, but what will happen after hundreds of years of inheritance?
Youdao is like a cunning rabbit with three burrows. We cannot leave the context in one place.
Let alone let its inheritance be cut off.”
Wang Anshi nodded thoughtfully.
Kou Ji said no more and sent Wang Anshi to look for Zeng Gong and Sima Guang first.
In a blink of an eye, it will be fifteen days later.
A group of Dashi believers and black Khans, as well as some accompanying Zhenxi troops, escorted the remaining two-thirds of the books in the Baghdad Wisdom Museum and arrived in Bianjing in a mighty manner.
Before people entered the boundaries of Bianjing City, they were tightly surrounded by the people and scholars of Bianjing City and Kaifeng Prefecture.
The followers of Dashi and the Black Khans traveled long distances in the wind and snow, so the appearance was not very good.
The common people and scholars looked at their shabby appearance, and in addition to being curious, they felt a hint of contempt.
They pointed at the Big Food Cultists and the Black Khans without any concealment.
If they hadn't been restrained by the officers and soldiers of the Zhenxi Army who were accompanying them, they might have rushed up to him, opened his mouth, and studied it carefully.
Of course, not all Dashi Cultists and Black Khans are unwelcome.
Some of the female nuns in their team, as well as some orchid girls from the Black Khanate, are very popular with scholars.
Scholars really wanted to see the nun's true appearance under the veil, and they also wanted to tangle with the slender Hu Ji.
Although the female nuns were veiled, their pure eyes were so alluring that many scholars could not move away after looking at them.
Scholars and common people gathered around the book delivery team and rushed all the way to Bianjing City.
The scholars have already agreed on the price to buy the Dashi Girl and Hu Ji.
That female cultivator holding a pipa and half-covering her face is far more valuable than those sexy orchids.
The net worth is twice that of those Hu Ji.
The team transporting books arrived at the gate of Bianjing City and was stopped by a group of doctors and great scholars from Taiyi Academy and Guozi Academy.
The great scholars and doctors relied on their status to inspect the food books.
However, the officers and soldiers of the Zhenxi Army refused the requests of the Confucian scholars and doctors because of their own responsibilities.
The great Confucian scholars and doctors came forward with their necks stiffened, pointed at the noses of the soldiers of the Zhenxi Army, and asked the Zhenxi Army to chop them off.
The Zhenxi Army did not dare.
Great Confucian scholars and doctors had to push themselves further.
To seize Dashi books by force.
What's more, they called together scholars and wanted to burn a large number of books on the spot.
In the end, Wang Anshi went to the Tiansheng Hall and invited an elderly scholar to scold a group of people away.
But after those great scholars and doctors left the convoy escorting the books, they blocked the gate of Bianjing City.
I vowed to my life not to let Dashi books enter Bianjing City.
Wang Anshi had no choice but to take the Zhenxi Army, the Great Cannibals, and the Black Khans to transport the books to Tiansheng Hall.
Tianshenguan is now a pure cultural research base.
The great Confucian scholars and doctors there pursue the ultimate truth far more than fighting over doctrines.
They don't care at all about the source of Dashi's books.
They only care about whether Dashi has sages like the Chinese sages and whether they have left behind a holy scripture like the Analects of Confucius.
Is there any merit in it, and can I use it to improve my own knowledge?
Facts have proved that true academicians are pure when doing their studies.
They care about knowledge, not about portals, and they don't care about the impact that new knowledge will have after it is born.
But there are only a handful of truly pure intellectuals.
Most people who are scholars are still bound by the world and value the world more than knowledge.
In order to promote their own doctrines, some people not only cannot tolerate other doctrines, but also use all means to strangle other doctrines to death.
After Dashi's books entered the Tiansheng Hall, they were protected by a group of older, more senior, and more famous Confucian scholars, and the major Chinese scholars and private scholars did not want to make mistakes.
The great scholars in Tiansheng Hall are all patriarchal figures. In addition, they have successively compiled "Tiansheng Dictionary", "Tiansheng Dictionary", "Tiansheng Rhyme New Theory" and so on, which are enough to make them famous. The eternal holy book.
Their fame has long since reached new heights.
If the major Chinese studies and private scholars seek trouble with them, they are bringing humiliation upon themselves.
With them on guard, no one dares to cause trouble.
Therefore, the scholars in Bianjing City could only gather together in small groups to discuss this matter.
Gradually, eating books has become a must-discussed topic among scholars.
Many scholars want to see its true appearance and criticize it while studying Western knowledge.
But the Tiansheng Pavilion had no intention of opening up those books to eat, so they could only indulge their appetite while thinking about the female cultivators and Hu Ji.
When Wang Anshi, a scholar in Bianjing City, was thinking about the Dashi books, he took two Dashi people and some Dashi books and hurried to the Zhuyuan where Kou Ji lived.
Kou Ji's eyes were instantly attracted by the food book presented by Wang Anshi. He did not even look at the two food people kneeling at his feet.
Kou Ji quickly took the Dashi book from Wang Anshi's hand. After looking through it carefully, he said with a look of astonishment: "Sheepskin scrolls? There are also human skin scrolls?"
Wang Anshi nodded solemnly and said: "The student finally understands why Mr. Hidden the original book. Using human skin as a book is really cruel and will never be tolerated by scholars in the world.
After this matter spreads out, Dashi's knowledge will definitely be regarded as a demon book by scholars all over the world."
Kou Ji seemed to have not heard Wang Anshi's words. After carefully groping for the sheepskin scrolls and the human skin scrolls, he stared at the two cannibals kneeling under the corners with some disbelief and said: "Your Khan King has defeated Baghdad."
?”
Previously, the Dashi books sent by Gargamel were printed editions, almost all of which were thread-bound.
The printing technology was provided by Kou Ji.
Now what Gargamel sent were parchment scrolls and human skin scrolls.
It was impossible for Gargamel to use parchment and human skin scrolls to copy the books in the Baghdad Wisdom Hall when he controlled printing technology.
Therefore, the parchment scrolls and human skin scrolls are obviously original manuscripts, or origins.
The original manuscript and source material cannot be measured by a copy.
If Gargamel was able to get the original manuscript and the original place of origin, it means that he is likely to control Baghdad.
According to Koji's estimation of Gargamel's power, he doesn't have the ability to move into Baghdad.
That's why Kou Jicai was full of disbelief.
One of the two great cannibals was familiar with Koji. He was Gargamel's old servant Hatuk.
Old Hatuk is so old that he has four or five teeth left, and the age spots on his face are clearly visible.
But he is still running for Gargamel.
After hearing Ko Ji's question, he saluted Ko Ji devoutly and said: "Honorable divine envoy, great Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty, my king has formed an alliance with Nizam Mulek, Prime Minister of the Seljuk Empire, and the Seljuk Empire
After the Prime Minister Nizam Mulek obtained the printing technology, he generously handed over all the books in the Wisdom Museum in Baghdad to our king, and kept the printed editions for himself, which were stored in the Nizemiya University he established.
My king knows how much the noble envoy attaches importance to these books, so he asked your servant Hatuk to send them to you intact."
After listening to what Old Hatuk said, Koji was stunned for a long time and carefully searched the few pieces of Western historical knowledge in his mind.
Finally the name of Nizam Mullek was found.
After two-phase verification, I know that what Old Hatuk said is true.
Nowadays, the Prime Minister of the Seljuk Empire is indeed Nizam Mulek, but it seems that he founded Nitzemiah University nearly twenty years earlier.
Even the Seljuk Empire settled in Baghdad more than 20 years earlier.
But when I think about it, his appearance changed Gargamel's fate and indirectly affected the fate of the West.
He can also understand the changes in the political situation in Baghdad.
It's just that Gargamel formed an alliance with the Seljuq Empire. Doesn't it mean that he is seeking skin from a tiger?
The two sides are rivals.
After the split of the Abbasid dynasty, Baghdad could be said to be surrounded by heroes.
The supreme decision-maker of the Abbasid dynasty, the Caliph, who lived in Baghdad, also became a decision-maker in name only.
The Seljuk Empire was considered a relatively powerful one.
Its top decision-maker, Sultan Malik Shah, can also be regarded as an outstanding person.
If such a person enters Baghdad, it is impossible for Gargamel to regain control of Baghdad.
unless……
Koji looked at Old Khatuk, "It was the Black Khan King Gargamel who proposed Maliksha's settlement in Baghdad, right?"
Hatuk looked at Koji in astonishment.
Koji sneered, "Gargamel wants to use Maliksha's powerful troops to clear up the current chaos in the Abbasid Dynasty, and then overthrow Maliksha and restore the Abbasid Dynasty, right?
He must be thinking of secretly becoming powerful while Maliksha's troops and the other empires of the Abbasid dynasty and those small countries were consuming each other.
When the strength of Maliksha's people, several other empires, and small countries is almost exhausted, then he will stand up and sweep them away in one fell swoop, right?"
Hatuk lowered his head, pursed his lips, and didn't say a word.
Kou Ji snorted coldly, "The method of killing with a borrowed knife is quite good. He couldn't arbitrarily clean up the traitors of the Albas Dynasty himself, so he relied on Maliksha's hand to do it.
But as far as I know, Maliksha is not a soft persimmon.
Isn’t he afraid of chipping his teeth?”
Hatuk buried his head between his legs and said nothing.
Koji stared at Hatuk, snorted and said, "You still want to hide it from me? Do you think I won't be able to find out if you don't tell me?"
Hatuk hesitated again and again, and whispered: "I dare not deceive the divine envoy. Maliksha is indeed a great sultan. My king alone is definitely not his opponent.
But the three princes of your country, as well as the great Lord of Western Tianzhu, have agreed to help my king."
"Lord of Western Tianzhu? So Yuanshan has already established a firm foothold in Tianzhu? And shared Tianzhu with the Lord of Eastern Tianzhu?"
Kou Ji muttered to himself and lowered his head to think.
After a moment, he raised his head, stared at Khatuk and said: "I am afraid that the trusted soldiers and horses they have are no match for the Seljuk Empire, and the servant army cannot be reused.
Neither Li Zhaoliang nor Zhu Neng would place their hopes on the servant army.
Neither can the Lord of East and West Tianzhu.
So they should have selected a group of people from slaves and formed a new army.
It’s just that it may take some time for the new army to come up with combat effectiveness.”
Wang Anshi said from the side: "Their confidants should be equivalent to the forbidden army, the newly recruited soldiers and horses should be equivalent to the Xiang army, and the servant army should be the civilians and rural soldiers?"
Kou Ji glanced at Wang Anshi and said, "This analogy is not appropriate. In their eyes, the servant army should be the vanguard to rush into battle, the new army should be the one who fights vicious battles, and the elite close men are there for the decisive victory."
Wang Anshi frowned and said: "Students have seen the servant armies of Xixia and Liao. They don't have any good equipment and don't have much combat power. I think the same is true for the servant armies they use in the west.
Therefore, if the servant army goes to charge into the battle, it is no different than facing death."
Kou Ji said calmly: "The purpose of their formation of the servant army is to let the servant army go to death and consume the enemy. They all fight with cold weapons, so this tactic is still very effective.
In our Song Dynasty, they didn't dare to use it.
When they go outside the territory, they naturally run rampant."
Wang Anshi was about to open his mouth when Kou Ji said calmly: "Okay, this is not what you should pay attention to. Just sort out your books. Those who go to sort, remember to tell them to shut up and don't
Nonsense.
Anyone who dares to speak nonsense will be sent to Zhu Neng's place.
I believe Zhu Neng is willing to spend a lot of money to buy these Song people who are proficient in food literature."
Wang Anshi quickly shut his mouth and shook some thoughts about military matters out of his mind.
Koji's eyes fell on Old Hatuk again, and he said calmly: "You don't have to be afraid of me, I don't care what they do in the West.
I just don’t like being kept in the dark, let alone being deceived.
Since Gargamel sent you here and graciously handed over the parchment and human skin scrolls to me, he must be asking for something.
Let’s talk about it.”
Old Hatuk quickly raised his head and was about to speak when he heard Kou Ji add, "Forget about firearms. Firearms are the capital of our great Song Dynasty. We, our Great Song Dynasty, cannot hand them over easily.
If they are willing to hand over the most fertile and prosperous place in the West to me, the Song Dynasty, I can consider it."
Old Hatuk raised his head, stared at Koji, and said with a dry smile: "Dear envoy, you are joking. Whether it is my king or several distinguished princes of the Song Dynasty, they all know that the firearm is yours
His lifeblood will not be given to others easily.
My king and the princes and highnesses of the Song Dynasty do not dare to covet firearms anymore."
Kou Ji smiled and said: "So knowledgeable? But apart from firearms, I don't think I can provide you with other help."
Old Hatuk smiled humbly and said: "The envoy of the gods was joking. The power and wealth of the Song Dynasty are far greater than any country I have ever seen.
My king still has many, many things to rely on divine messengers for."
Kou Ji shook his head and smiled: "Okay, stop flattering me, just tell me what you want."
Old Hatuk smiled and said: "My king and several of the Song Dynasty princes have said that if the envoy is willing to come to Baghdad in person, they are willing to make you the caliph."
Kou Ji smiled faintly and said, "I'm not interested in that position. If I were interested, there would be no need to use them as a stepping stone.
Tell me what you need, and if you don't tell me, then I will have no choice but to see you off."
The expression on Old Hatuk's face did not change. He seemed to have known for a long time that Koo Ji would answer this way. He said to Koo Ji: "Since the envoy is unwilling, the old servant will tell my king truthfully when he returns.
My king and several princes and highnesses of the Song Dynasty hope that the Song Dynasty can send a caravan, preferably a large number of caravans, to their fiefdoms and territories."
When Kou Ji heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then said with a suspicious face: "As far as I know, the merchants in their fiefdoms and territories seem to like to travel far for business more than us Song people.
Just like you before."
Old Hatuk smiled and said: "My king naturally has servants under his command. However, the princes and highnesses of the Song Dynasty do not have suitable servants at their disposal.
They couldn't trust those captives and slaves.
The henchmen under their control cannot be taken apart and used.
So they hope that merchants from the Song Dynasty can go to their territory and do business with them directly."
Kou Ji thought for a moment and said with a smile: "It seems that they have captured a lot of good things in the West. There are so many that even the merchants under him can't transport them.
I can agree to this. Tell them when you go back, and I, the Song Dynasty, will form a caravan to find them.
But they must ensure the safety of my Song Dynasty caravan.
If my Song caravan is damaged, I don’t mind leading the troops there myself.”
