Zhang Ren, the governor of Guangxi, came to Nanning in person, nominally to inspect the expansion of the Nanning River Port. In fact, everyone in Guangxi could guess his purpose, which must be to welcome the return of the great victory.
After all, the governor is the nominal superior of the governor. Generally speaking, when the governor takes office, it is already a very polite gesture for the governor to come out to greet him. Running nearly a thousand miles to greet him like this is obviously an exception.
But Zhang Ren felt that being pragmatic was indeed worthy of him making an exception.
Since this ordained minister took office, he has not caused him any trouble, and has solved a long list of troubles for him. Not only that, he even saved his life.
Now, he has made great contributions to the court, helped the emperor avenge the "nine generations of revenge", and the country's prestige has been greatly enhanced!
So why shouldn't he welcome her personally?
Of course, the inspection of Nanning River Port is not just a show, it is indeed a major event that requires attention.
This matter is still related to Gao Yuntai: his grand plan to revitalize Guangxi's economy, the most critical transportation node is Nanning, where the left and right rivers converge. As the governor, Zhang Ren certainly has to be concerned.
However, these can be ignored. It is only said that after Zhang Ren led a large number of Guangxi officials to welcome Gao pragmatism, he first went to Nanning city to hold a banquet to celebrate, and then invited Gao pragmatism to Qingxiu Mountain, the most beautiful place in Nanning. , saying that Gao Jintai has been in Guangxi for nearly a year and has been very busy. Now that everything is in order, it is time for a few days of rest.
None of the local officials in Guangxi were invited by Zhang Futai, except Huang Zhiting who accompanied him all the way.
Zhang Ren originally didn't know about the personal relationship between Gao Jingshi and Huang Zhiting. He only knew that the two had traveled together for most of Guangxi. Later, Huang Zhiting and even Huang's Tusi inexplicably became Gao Zhiting's hardcore thugs.
At that time, Zhang Ren only thought that Gao Yintai's noble character had influenced the rebellious chieftains. When he met Huang Zhiting this time, he realized that the situation seemed more complicated - in the eyes of this chieftain Huang, besides Gao Yintai Besides, there was no room for other people at all. Even when she, the governor, spoke to her, her reaction would often be a little slow. But as soon as Gao pragmatically spoke, she would immediately pay full attention, even reluctant to blink her eyes.
Zhang Futai is in his fifties, and if he still can't see any clues about this, it can only be said that he is blind. However, after he took a moment to look at the two of them, he couldn't help but nod. They were really a perfect match for each other.
If I have to say I have any regrets, it would be that there is indeed a gap in family background between the two parties.
The Huang family chieftain is certainly quite impressive in terms of history, and has a longer history than the Gao family. But family background cannot only be considered in terms of history, but also in terms of family status.
The Gao family is a sect of practical learning. It is not only "my family's official family", but also the family of two generations of great Confucians - well, nowadays Gao Qiuzhen may also be associated with the word "great Confucianism", that is, three generations of great Confucians.
This is not incredible, this is incredible!
In the Ming Dynasty, being rich was certainly not considered noble, and even being a great scholar was not considered noble. Only great Confucians were truly noble - scholars looked up to them, and the world followed them.
Just like when Yang Shen was assigned to Yunnan, an article he wrote would immediately spread all over the world. As long as scholars could read his new work one day early, they would be proud of it and look forward to it.
This is called a great scholar, this is called nobility.
In the past, Shen Wansan was also rich. Which scholar took him seriously? Nowadays, princes are also noble. How many scholars will admire them?
But Zhang Ren knew that even if Gao Pragmatic resigned from his post and returned home, any scholar in the world would take the initiative to salute him and respect him by saying "high six poems" when they see him.
In the Ming Dynasty, only scholar status was the decisive factor in judging whether someone was noble or not.
As for the status of Gao Yuntai, it is really inferior to heaven...
But Zhang Ren could just think about it in his mind. He was an outsider and couldn't interfere in this matter. What's more, he didn't invite Gao Pangshi to visit Qingxiu Mountain just to meddle in these nosy matters. He wanted to ask Guangxi what to do next.
Ask for advice, really ask for advice.
He has seen enough of highly pragmatic methods, but everything else is easy to say. There is only one thing that he has to give in to, and that is the "economy" that the pragmatic school has often talked about in recent years.
The word economy was usually explained as "managing the world and benefiting the people" before being famous for being pragmatic and pragmatic. This is where the name of Emperor Taizong Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty came from.
But after the word "Gao Longwen" resounded throughout the world, the word "economy" was given a new meaning.
According to Gao Pragmatic himself, the so-called economy is to create more abundant materials and distribute them in a better way. He even went further and said: Economics is the foundation and key goal of practical learning.
This has actually introduced practical learning to a new stage of development, and Zhang Ren seems to understand it somewhat.
Zhang Ren is not completely unfamiliar with the Shixue theory - among Confucian scholars of this era, it is not unusual for people from the Shixue school to know the views of the Xinxue school, and for people from the Xinxue school to know the views of the Shixue school.
But even when Gao Gong talks about pragmatism, he will take the trouble to talk about the connotations and relationships of "qi" and "reason". However, Gao Gong, who is pragmatic, neither talks about qi nor reason. He almost only talks about "economy". .
He not only talks about it, but also puts it into practice and sets an example himself - Jinghua is the result of his practice.
Jinghua's rise has only been ten years, but now it is probably strong enough to compete with the Yangzhou Salt Merchant Group. This is a fact known to everyone.
In his policy statement in Gengchenke, he attributed all the ills in the world to "poverty", which everyone has read. Zhang Ren was not an official of the practical school at first, but now he feels more and more pragmatic. The point of view makes sense.
The Confucian scholars at this time had not completely turned into the cynics of the Qing Dynasty. Zhang Ren felt that what Gao Jingshi said was reasonable, so he began to ponder the truth in it. And Gao Jingshi's series of victories in Guangxi proved that these principles were correct. Sex writes the best footnote.
Therefore, Zhang Ren would like to ask Gao Pragmatic how to develop this "economy" in Guangxi.
Zhang Ren regarded this matter as a "discussion on Tao", so he chose a place like Qingxiu Mountain. Although there is no later tourist attraction "Taying Tianchi" here - that pagoda is called an ancient pagoda in later generations, but in fact it was built in the 46th year of Wanli and does not exist now - but the "Tianchi" is still there.
Moreover, there was once a wealthy businessman in Nanning who lived in a villa beside the Tianchi Lake in Qingxiu Mountain. Although Gao Jingshi, who had already seen the "world" at that time, didn't think it was big, it was enough to accommodate one or two hundred people.
However, this wealthy businessman later declined, and Tianchi Courtyard became an ownerless land. Since it was just at the corner of Nanning City, no bandits dared to occupy it, so it inexplicably became the "property" of Nanning Mansion. Naturally, Zhang Ren could Borrowed it.
When Zhang Ren settled down and planned to go find Gao Pragmatic for discussion, he heard from his subordinates that Gao Yuntai and Miss Huang were taking people on a mountain tour.
Zhang Ren originally didn't want to be an eyesore, but Gao Pragmatic's term of office was not long, and he finally created such an environment suitable for discussing Taoism. It was not the way to not disturb him. He just smiled bitterly and said to himself: "I seem to have to be a redundant person. "
After asking again, it turned out that Gao Pangshi and his party went to Phoenix Ridge, so they also rushed there with others.
It has been said since ancient times that the phoenix in "Feng Qi Wu" is in Yongzhou, which is Nanning. Therefore, there are many place names related to phoenix in Nanning, and Fenghuangling must be one of them.
When Zhang Ren arrived, he didn't see anything inappropriate for children. Dozens of Gao family servants and a considerable number of Siming wolf soldiers were following him. How could it be inappropriate? Gao pragmatically and Huang Zhiting were on the top of the mountain, pointing toward the bottom of the mountain, talking and laughing, facing the late spring mountain breeze.
Seeing Zhang Ren running so hard, the two of them seemed a little surprised, but they still came together to greet him.
"I'm here to accompany you. I'm disturbing the two of you." Zhang Ren said with a smile.
The two naturally connected, and then Gao pragmatic asked Zhang Ren's purpose.
Zhang Ren couldn't talk about business when he came up, so he said he also came to see the scenery. He said that the scenery here was beautiful and it was a place where literati should come.
Of course Gao pragmatic knew that he was talking nonsense, but as a scholar, sometimes you have to pretend to be romantic even if you are not romantic, so he smiled and said: "Since there is elegance in Futai, why not write a poem and leave it as a memory for future generations?" ?”
Zhang Ren didn't expect that he could clearly see his intention, but he actually followed his words. He couldn't refuse, so he looked around and chanted: "The green mountains are always immortal, and the wanderers on Tianya feel that spring is good. I am carrying you with me Spring is coming up the mountain, and mountain flowers are blooming to welcome the spring.”
Then he smiled and pretended to sigh, and said: "I haven't written poetry for a long time, and I am very unfamiliar. I should ask you to tell me the truth about this matter. With your literary name, if you leave a poem here, it will be remembered by future generations." Say it." After saying that, he made a "please" gesture.
Gao Pingshi glanced at Huang Zhiting and saw that she was also looking at him eagerly, as if... she had ulterior motives.
With a thought in his heart, he guessed her little thoughts and couldn't help but smile. He stopped refusing and walked to a position overlooking Nanning City. He pondered for a while and said: "
The bright mirror of Tianchi sinks into the abyss, and the jade cranes in the mountains stand in the sky.
The flowers and clouds are shining in the pine sea, and the waterfall is flowing and the moon is hazy.
Wherever there is a single phoenix perched on a parasol tree, here there are two dragons in the Yong city.
Mo Dao Lingnan is full of miasma, and the beauty is boundless in the dangerous peaks. "
Huang Zhiting was still thinking about the meaning of this poem, but Zhang Ren was already laughing loudly and said: "What a 'Mo Dao Lingnan is full of malaria, and the boundless beauty is on the dangerous peaks'. A young man who seeks truth is ambitious and talented, and he should appreciate the beauty of the dangerous peaks!"
After a pause, he continued: "Yongcheng is the ancient name of Nanning. The ancients said that the place where Fengqiwu lived was in Yongcheng. 'Learning the Two Dragons' must mean that the left and right rivers converge in Nanning, right? Well, it's also a good sentence, but it's just that ...This 'falling waterfall and flowing fragrance' refers to that scenery, but I am ignorant."
Gao pragmatic laughed, but did not answer, looking towards Huang Zhiting.
Huang Zhiting was a little confused at first, but suddenly she was so blessed that she thought about the day when she and "Zhang Buxu" were in the pool and were rushed into the underground river by the rapids of the waterfall, and she suddenly understood. Thinking of how naked he was that day and how much he saw, he couldn't help but blush.
Is the boundless beauty you mentioned really on a dangerous peak?
Isn't it the night of "Falling Waterfall and Fragrance"?
