The spring plowing and sacrifice activities in Shaoxing for 31 years were held in accordance with Su Yonglin's administrative orders, and the people could hold them according to their respective customs, but the official does not allow them to be held in any name.

The official must devote all fiscal expenditures to the construction of water conservancy. Whoever dares to disobey the orders of the official sacrificial activities will be immediately dismissed, and there is no need to discuss it.

Su Yonglin claimed that "Heaven moves forever, not for Yao, not for Jie", did not work hard to cultivate fields and build water conservancy, and only knew how to pray to God and Buddha, which would not help agricultural production.

The war had just ended, and the Central Plains was seriously damaged by the Jin thieves and was in trouble. It was a time when all officials needed to work hard to restore production and ensure people's livelihood.

At this time, Isn’t it a matter of putting all my heart into agricultural production and water conservancy construction, but I have to spend money, grain and materials and precious farming times to hold meaningless sacrificial activities?

Not accurate!

Su Yonglin clearly issued an order in the name of the General Affairs Bureau to require all officials to participate in agricultural production activities. The better the water conservancy construction, the more it is, the better it is, which proves that this official is doing well.

The quantity and quality of water conservancy construction will become an important criterion for the General Affairs Bureau to judge the merits and promotions of local administrative officials.

Su Yonglin made an important criterion for promotion of official positions publicly, which caused a stir in the occupied areas of the Restoration Army.

Of course, it is not because of the promotion standards. The promotion standards for officials are varied and have always changed according to the preferences of the rulers. This is not important at all. What is important is Su Yonglin's idea of ​​governing the country and governing the country reflected behind this promotion standard.

Many people did not expect that Su Yonglin was actually a believer of Xunzi, who believed in the practice of heaven and permanence.

Although Xunzi was also a great Confucian Confucian Confucian, his own people, but his own people also have different relatives and distant relationships. With the development of the times, Xunzi's thoughts are incompatible with the mainstream Confucian thoughts today.

The current Confucianism advocates the unity of man and nature, the induction of man and nature, and the combination of local superstitions, combining imperial power and divine power into one, making the emperor become the emperor. In fact, he already has the style of Confucianism and has an impact on society in all aspects.

After the low period of the Sui, Tang and Five Dynasties, the Confucian school finally regained its official guiding ideology and even the status of the national constitution in the Northern Song Dynasty. It relied on this set of theories and imperial powers that conformed to the needs of the rulers of the Northern Song Dynasty.

However, Xunzi's thoughts opposed the induction of heaven and man, and opposed the unity of heaven and man, and believed that we should look at heaven and man separately. Heaven is heaven and man is man, and the two have no connection.

This simple materialist concept is unacceptable to mainstream Confucianism today. It is a thought that shakes the foundation of Confucian hegemony since Dong Zhongshu, and is not in line with the interests of feudal rulers.

However, as the supreme ruler, Su Yonglin agreed with this idea.

What's the situation?

Many people are puzzled and think that Su Yonglin has a problem with his mind.

Without the title of the emperor, you will take the blame for your lord's right and the blessing of the great power of the emperor, your legitimacy can be guaranteed by force, but what about your successor?

You don't think about these?

Some academic bureaucrats realized that Su Yonglin's ideological tendency would bring unpredictable risks to the future political situation, and even reflected in the upcoming imperial examinations after he became emperor, and were anxious and uneasy.

After Su Yonglin became emperor, he wanted to open the imperial examinations to select scholars. If he insisted on using Xunzi's ideas to select scholars, there would inevitably be people who would object, and there would inevitably be speculators who would like to oppose their preferences and sing opposite to the mainstream Confucianism.

At that time, these speculators will exist in large quantities in the court, squeezing the living space of mainstream Confucianism, which will greatly damage the interests of believers in mainstream Confucianism.

That will bring unpredictable risks to the future world situation.

But Su Yonglin's power is here, his martial virtues are overwhelming, the army supports him, and his own subordinates also support him, and no one can force Su Yonglin to change his view.

At the time when Su Yonglin was about to destroy the Jin Dynasty and Wubu, the old bureaucrats and gentry did not dare to debate with Su Yonglin on this issue, and even forced him to change his ideas and return to the mainstream thoughts.

So although this issue seems very serious to many people, it can only be put aside the controversy for the time being and cannot be discussed. Otherwise, if Su Yonglin gets angry and uses his invincible army to promote opponents, the opponent will be a laughing stock.

To plan for a country, you need to make a living.

Officials in various places dared not violate Su Yonglin's orders and did not dare to hold sacrificial activities in the official name, so they had to give up.

In such an atmosphere, the spring plowing of this year was basically completed in mid-April.

After the spring plowing is completed, the most important production activities of the year will end. Next, as long as the weather is not abnormal and there are no large-scale locust plagues, droughts and floods, it will generally be able to survive until the autumn harvest.

In response to locust plagues, droughts and floods, human subjective initiative is very limited, but it is not impossible.

The development of water conservancy is a way for humans to maximize their subjective initiative in dealing with the harms of nature.

Floods and droughts and locust plagues occur in many places. The reason why it is out of control is often because of local corruption and inaction by officials that water conservancy projects are disrepaired and cannot play a role.

Build places with successful water conservancy according to local conditions. Even if natural disasters are affected, the losses can be minimized.

Therefore, Su Yonglin included the quantity and quality of water conservancy construction in the official assessment standards and clearly announced it to the public to encourage local administrative officials to build water conservancy construction.

During the period after the spring plowing ends, Su Yonglin can take off from the government affairs of agricultural production and start making arrangements for the actions to guide Guanzhong.

In this operation to guide Guanzhong, Su Yonglin planned to attack in two ways, handing it over to Zhang Yuejing and Su Haisheng.

One of them attacked from Tongguan to strive to conquer Tongguan and open the door to attack.

Another attacked from Hedong, aiming at Daqing Pass, an important pass at the Yellow River Ferry, and strived to break through Daqing Pass in the shortest time, cross the Yellow River, and enter the Guanzhong area.

Having said that, both tasks of these two troops are not simple, and they can even be said to be relatively difficult, and they are not easily achieved.

From the current occupied area of ​​the Light of Restoration Army to Guanzhong, a large turn of the Yellow River was crossing its way, and a solid line of defense was naturally built.

Tongguan is connected with cliffs and leaning against the river. The surrounding area is full of mountains and dangerous waterways, and the space for the offensive troops to play is very small. Even if a hundred thousand troops attack together, as long as the defenders persist, it will be even more difficult to conquer Tongguan.

Daqing Pass guards the important ancient ferry crossing of the Yellow River and guards the entire river section that is rarely conducive to crossing the river. As long as troops are arranged here to defend, it will be difficult and dangerous for the enemy to break through.

Other places are either the waterway is too wide or the water flows are turbulent and cannot be forced to cross.

According to the investigation of the Restoration Army, both the Jin army was guarding Tongguan and Daqing Pass. The Jin army was ready to defend in these two places, and was waiting for the frontal attack of the Restoration Army, intending to defeat the Restoration Army so that the Restoration Army knew that Guanzhong was not so easy to enter.

After Su Yonglin obtained the Jin army's defense intelligence, he held a military meeting in the Staff Office. All the staff and officers looked at the two passes where the Jin army was heavily deployed, and their expressions were not very good.

Everyone knows that these two paths are not easy to walk on, and if you have other choices, you will not choose these two paths.

But they only have these two choices.

Other roads are either too far away or too difficult. Small groups of troops can break through and attack sneak attacks, while large troops have too high logistics requirements for marching, and it will not work without spacious avenues.

It is precisely because of this military advantage that the ancients set up levels in these two places and strengthened their defense.

"There are not many ways to choose for us, and what we can think of is the enemy. In this case, we only have one way, which is to use absolute strength to fight over and make the Jin people desperate!"

Su Yonglin clenched his fists and said loudly: "The Restoration Army is no longer the original Restoration Army. The Restoration Army needed to rack its brains to survive. But today, the Restoration Army has 400,000 troops, which is no longer the weak army that was the first!
Chapter completed!
