When Ouyang Xiu saw that Li Hao had understood, he said earnestly: "Everything in Kaifeng Mansion is complicated. If you go too fast, you will easily make mistakes, but if you go too slowly, you will not be able to accomplish anything. Only by staying on track can everything go smoothly. And in Kaifeng Mansion, Officials and government officials have close contacts with the powerful people in Beijing, so if you want to do something, you must plan carefully and act cautiously."
After hearing this, Li Hao stood up, saluted, and replied: "My nephew understands. I will definitely act more cautiously in the future, and make decisions before I act."
In fact, what happened this time was a wake-up call for Li Hao. Since time traveling, Li Hao has been doing things smoothly and basically accomplished everything he wanted to do, so he thought that the ancients thought it was too simple and forgot. In this era, those who can become officials are only those who are selected from a million. They have been hanging out in the officialdom for countless years. There is nothing that he, a stupid young man, can easily control. This incident made Li Hao sober up. It dispelled Li Hao's sense of arrogance.
On the other hand, Ouyang Xiu saw the change in Li Hao's face and was afraid that Li Hao would be too stimulated, so he asked Li Hao to sit down and comfort him: "After all, you are still young and have not experienced many things. You still have this youthful chivalry in you. This It's also a good thing. At your age, my behavior and dealings are not as thorough as yours. You just need to think more about it in the future.
And after all, you just wanted to do something for your friend, and you really couldn't have caused any big trouble. This is why I didn't come to you that day. "
When Li Hao heard this, he suddenly felt something was wrong and asked doubtfully: "But my uncle told me about the matter today. Firstly, it may be a coincidence, so he came to wake up my nephew. Secondly, does the uncle think that if I continue? If you continue to deal with the accounts, you may get into big trouble, so you are warning me intentionally."
After Ouyang Xiu heard this, he was very pleased and said: "You are really smart, and you can understand everything. This is what I am going to talk about next. Many things in Kaifeng Mansion are chronic diseases of adulthood, so if you continue to make small fuss It is useless to deal with it, but it is easy to get into trouble. In addition, the previous Kaifeng governor was strict in his administration. Although the effect was good, it also accumulated a lot of resentment in the government.
Didn’t you say that I would be lenient in my administration after taking office? That’s because if I were to suppress the slightest glitches and force everyone, I might be able to get by, but there will always be a day when I can’t suppress the outbreak, and then things will no longer be under control. . So instead of exploding uncontrollably when the time comes, it would be better for me to dissipate this resentment now and wait for those people to make big mistakes. Only in this way can I sweep away the old dust.
And it’s not up to you to take charge of this matter. If you think about it, why the governors of Kaifeng in the past dynasties have always had royal princes or court officials take over? This is not without reason.
But I believe you understand this, otherwise you wouldn't have brought the account book with you, and you wouldn't have told me until you came to the house. "
After hearing this, Li Hao said: "To be honest with my uncle, I didn't think so clearly about the specifics. I just wanted to be on the safe side, so I came to ask my uncle for his opinion. But I think I asked the right question. It's a pity that I can't organize the account books. Yes, it seems to be of no use now."
After hearing this, Ouyang Xiu did not want to dampen Li Hao's enthusiasm, so he praised: "You don't need to be discouraged. You have done a good job now. If your accounting method proves to be practical, it will be more useful to the Song Dynasty than It will be even more important to eradicate some corrupt officials today. Then I will help you go to the officials to ask for merit.
And these account books are not useless. When needed, they can also be used as evidence of incrimination. Next, if you have time, you can also use this method to calculate the account books of other departments in Kaifeng Prefecture. "
After hearing this, Li Hao smiled and said: "Okay, then I will do some statistics and see what the Kaifeng Mansion is like."
Ouyang Xiu nodded after hearing this, then changed the subject and asked, "Actually, there is one thing that I have never quite understood. I have never heard of how good your relationship with Gu Tingye is. Why do you work so hard on his affairs?"
After hearing this, Li Hao replied: "Gu Tingye is quite a good person, and he is very familiar with my cousin Sheng Changbai. I heard a lot of news from my cousin, and I know that his life has not been easy these years. Now he can I want to help as much as I can. There is another thing that I just want to take a look at, and Gu Tingye can help me. I can help him with this so that he can help me. "
Ouyang Xiu asked curiously: "What do you want to do? You might as well tell me and I will give you the details."
After hearing this, Li Hao talked to Ouyang Xiu about his thoughts, and asked first: "Uncle, you should know about Qiyun Society."
Ouyang Xiu said: "Of course I know this. It is a Cuju club where a group of people gather. I heard that there are many people participating."
Li Hao replied: "I want to follow the example of Qiyun Society and organize a similar competition club in Bianjing. Of course, not only Cuju, but also polo and pot throwing can be organized to form a complete set of rules and regulations." In order to enforce strict rules and regulations, we will attract the noble sons and daughters of Bianjing City to join them."
After hearing this, Ouyang Xiu asked curiously: "What is the purpose of doing this, just for fun?"
After hearing this, Li Hao explained to Ouyang Xiu: "The biggest problem in Beijing now is actually the public security issue, and the most difficult thing to deal with is this group of dandy kids. If you let these people in Beijing, they will only cause trouble and stir up trouble. It's better to put these people together. Even if there are any conflicts, it will be their own business. Anyway, as long as the people are not involved, their family members will step in to deal with it in the end.
This was inspired by the polo club held by the Earl of Yongchang Mansion, but now everyone holds it mainly for fun. At most, the host family has some luck, so it is not very popular.
But if we organize these into a complete set of competitions, as long as we can bring in some distinguished people in the capital, and then decide the winners and losers on the spot, we will award the winners in public, and we need to make a big noise, so that we are not afraid of other people. The dandies did not participate. After all, in order to earn face in front of everyone, they probably did not know how active they would be.
Secondly, I feel that the current trend is not good, so I take Cuju as an example. Cuju in the Han and Tang Dynasties was more intense and was called Chen Lizhi. Therefore, it was attached to the Art of War and could be used for military training, and it could be used to exercise physical strength, skills and physical confrontation capabilities. But now, during the reign of Emperor Taizu of this dynasty, Cuju still mostly followed the old system of Han and Tang Dynasties. But looking at it now, white Cuju is popular in the world. This was a unique way of playing Cuju for women in the Tang Dynasty. It is precisely because of this that sports that were used for military training in the past have become something that everyone can watch and enjoy today.
In addition to Cuju, the same is true for polo and Touhu, which are increasingly losing their former effectiveness, so I thought about whether I could make some changes in this matter, so that the children of noble families can regain their martial arts style. "
After hearing what Li Hao said, Ouyang Xiu poured cold water on him and said, "The method is a good one. If Gu Tingye takes the lead, those dandies in the capital will definitely join in. But if you want to use this to change the world's opinions, I'm afraid you can't do it." arrive."
After hearing this, Li Hao said: "Xunzi once said, If you don't accumulate small steps, you can't reach a thousand miles; if you don't accumulate small streams, you can't build a river. Everything depends on people. If you do it today, it may not be what I thought, but there is always a chance. . But if I don’t do anything, I will never be able to change it.”
When Ouyang Xiu heard this, a smile appeared on his face and he said happily: "I'm really happy that you can think of this. Since you have already planned it, just do it. If you have any questions, you can Talk to me directly."
As soon as Li Hao heard this, he immediately replied: "There is really a problem, and I need my uncle's help."
Ouyang Xiu was stunned after hearing this, thinking that you have a problem just after I said it, and this is a trap for me.
