Chapter 31: Each flows from southeast to northwest
As a result, Dai Yuanli's new medicine under the guidance of He Xi gradually spread. Some tools such as microscopes have also been circulated.
Lian Zining said, "Thank you very much, teacher."
He Xi said, "If you had come to me earlier, maybe the matter would have been resolved."
Lian Zining said, "Disciple, you can't bother the teacher with everything."
He Xi pondered for a moment, sighed, and said: "I would like to let you trouble me with everything, but it may not be possible in the future. You know I am thinking of an article right now. Do you know which one it is?"
Lian Zining said, "Please ask the teacher for advice."
He Xi said: "Send Dong Shao off on his southern tour to Hebei Province."
Lian Zining fell into silence.
When educated people talk about things, they don’t need to explain things so clearly. This short sentence contains the infinite meaning of sunset. This article is a famous one among Han Yu's articles. It is said that one of Han Yu's friends, Dong Sheng, was a very talented person. But he didn't want to be determined by Yousi, so he went to Hebei to visit. In fact, he went to join the forces of the feudal town. After seeing him off, Han Yu tactfully advised him that since the emperor is here tomorrow, he can go out and become an official. The orthodoxy of the Tang Dynasty is still in Chang'an. He should not be loyal to the feudal forces.
In the current context, it means a lot.
There is accountability. This Dong Sheng has no backing, so he can't aspire to be a leader, but am I not good enough to you? Why do you still want to "travel" to Hebei?
There is advice that the feudal king and the feudal town actually have something in common, but they are not the orthodoxy of the country. The country's orthodoxy is in Nanjing, and it's not like you have no way to stay in the Central Plains. What are you doing with King Yan?
There are worries. The feudal king seems to be doing well now, but who knows what will happen in the future. Will the vassal king become like the vassal town and become a danger to the country?
etc.
The words are endless, but the meaning is endless. It just depends on how Lian Zining tastes it.
Lian Zining has read poetry and books, and is even better than He Xi in this aspect. It is impossible to understand He Xi's meaning. He sighed in a low voice and said, "Teacher, I didn't mean to vote for King Yan. It's really, really -----"
King Yan is a very resourceful person. Now that he has identified Lian Zining as a great talent who can help him build a country. Naturally launch a crazy pursuit.
Compared with the treatment Prince Dan of Yan treated Jing Ke, it was only a little more respectful than Liu Bei's treatment of Zhuge Liang. King Yan himself is also very charming. Otherwise, during the Battle of Jingnan, not so many people would be willing to follow King Yan through life and death under unfavorable circumstances.
How could Lian Zining withstand such an attack?
In addition, Lian Zining was also at a low point at this moment, and the final result was naturally moved to tears. The king and his ministers know each other well.
However, it was difficult for Lian Zining to tell his teacher these words. He paused and said: "I always keep the teacher's teachings in mind, and the conflict between population and land, I also keep in mind all the time. In Daning, almost everything Every household has four or five children, although due to various reasons, only two or three children survive. But according to this scale, within one or two hundred years, the Central Plains will not be able to bear this population size. By then it will be too late to solve the problem. The Ming Dynasty closed the country to foreign countries. This was the teacher's temporary solution. But overseas and beyond the Great Wall are barbaric lands, and it is too difficult to gain a foothold there. Such things cannot only be done by the clan. The teacher can do this at home as well. Those who have complaints. I am willing to set an example and prove it to the world. The national policy proposed by the teacher is for the country and not for myself. It is for the public and not for private interests."
"Teacher, please give me some warning."
Although Lian Zining's words were an evasion thought up by Lian Zining. But it makes sense.
Many people will not think about what will happen ten years from now, let alone thirty years from now, fifty years from now, or even one hundred years from now. They only know that most places overseas today are deserted lands, with poisonous snakes infested and smog running rampant. Outside the Great Wall, it is a bitterly cold place, where dripping water turns into ice.
All they know is that they will suffer if they go out. Suffer, as for other things, they won't think too much about it.
He Xi also understood this, which was why he had said it well in front of Zhu Yuanzhang. But when it comes down to it, He Xi must solve it one by one.
Lian Zining is willing to devote himself to this, and He Xi is also very pleased.
To be honest, Lian Zining is not bad. But it doesn't have to be him. It was just He Xi who brought it out personally. It's just feelings. With the Imperial College here, such talents will emerge one after another. For example, Yang Shiqi is one of them.
The world never lacks talents, it just lacks opportunities.
But He Xi still had a worry deep in his heart, but he couldn't express it. That's why he was worried that the master and the apprentice would eventually meet each other in war. There is no other reason. In this historical time and space, does King Yan really not know how to raise an army? It's hard to say.
In fact, He Xi has now lost control of the future.
Some people just take one step at a time.
It's just that Lian Zining is a very smart person, He Xi didn't say anything. But Lian Zining also felt He Xi's emotions. Moreover, Lian Zining had also thought about the problem that He Xi had thought of many times. He said; "Teacher, please rest assured. Since the students tied their hair, they have learned the way of loyalty to the emperor. The students are loyal to His Highness King Yan of the Ming Dynasty, not His Highness the King of Yan. This point will definitely not be wrong."
He Xi let out a long sigh and said, "King Yan is also a powerful figure among His Majesty's disciples. Follow him and become a founding hero, and you may be able to continue your descendants. Your choice is not wrong. Do it well."
Lian Zining breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you, teacher, for your understanding."
He Xi said: "Don't worry, no matter what happens in the future, the relationship between you and my master and disciple will not change. By the way, this time you pass by Liaodong to see Zicheng. He is also exhausted and thin. It's a big circle. After you meet this time, I don't know when the next time will be."
Lian Zining seemed to think of Huang Zicheng, smiled slightly, and said, "Yes."
this is life.
Some people, you think they are walking a long way together, but in fact when they pass by an intersection, they have disappeared. With some people, you think they are just temporary companions, but before you know it, half your life has passed.
He Xi has high hopes for Lian Zining. But everyone has his own ambitions.
------
"How?" King Yan and Lian Zining left Changchun Fort. Walking on the road together. King Yan asked.
Lian Zining said: "You must be determined to seal the Northeast of the feudal vassal. The teacher has never thought of letting you seal here. I estimate that the fiefdom that the teacher has prepared for you is in Saibei."
If He Xi knew that he was a good student, it would be true that he was on the same level as him. It’s true that I came to inquire about the news. I don’t know what to think. However, Lian Zining himself did not feel that he was betraying He Xi, because there was no conflict of interest between He Xi and King Yan. He even estimated that the reason why King Yan valued him so much may not be because he was He Xi's disciple.
King Yan sighed and said, "Saibei. Saibei."
The more King Yan knew about Saibei, the less he knew how to express his emotions. Saibei is definitely a king. As long as there are Saibei grasslands, there are hundreds of thousands of cavalry, and hundreds of thousands of cavalry, as long as they are well trained, they can suppress Monan.
Such as the Huns in the Han Dynasty, the Turks in the Tang Dynasty, and the Mongols in the Song Dynasty.
But it was impossible for him to go south and attack his home country. So the situation in Saibei is more of a burden. It is a bitter cold land, the ground does not produce grain, and the population is limited. This made him happy about Mobei's military strength, but he was also pained that not only could he not use it, but he had to appease and suppress this force for a long time.
Because this is the reason why the Ming Dynasty granted a vassal king to the north of Saibei.
How can King Yan not be in pain?
King Yan loved and hated this place.
Lian Zining said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. Don't worry too much about things outside the Great Wall. I'm going to see my friend Huang Zicheng right now. It may be warmer here in Liaodong than outside the Great Wall, but it's also very cold. The teacher must have arrangements. Let's just learn from it. .”
Lian Zining didn't feel at all that there was anything wrong with copying He Xi's homework. As a student, shouldn’t you study hard?
In his mind, this is a matter of course.
King Yan said: "Okay. I listen to you. Now go meet your friend Huang Zicheng."
King Yan secretly thought: "It would be best to pull He Xi over. But He Xi is a member of my father's family. In this case, it would be good to pull over He Xi's disciples. If one of them doesn't work, try another one."
Huang Zicheng also caught the eye of King Yan.
