Chapter 65: Feast of Worship

Because the Song Dynasty's policies were soft, there were many anti-aggressive armed forces spontaneously organized by the people on the border, such as the Bow and Archery Society in Hebei and the Horse Buying Society in Hedong.

The establishment of the horse-buying club was when Li Jiqian rebelled, and the Song Dynasty gradually lacked horses. After the price of horses increased, many fierce people from Hedong colluded with the Liao people despite the ban on the Liao Kingdom and sold horses to the Song Dynasty for profit.

However, the journey is long and there are many dangers along the way, so we form a club to buy horses.

When Emperor Zhenzong of Song saw that this trick was good, at least stronger than the dwarf horses he bought from Sichuan, he helped him to help him, and the scale became larger and larger. Later, it was promoted to Shaanxi and Hebei, but Hedong was the largest.

However, the Song Dynasty always had a precautionary attitude towards these civil armed organizations, so after the northern border was stable, it was banned.

"Why did Mr. Cheng move out of the horse buying club again?"

"I can't figure it out, either."

Wang Ju then thought, "It's wrong. Li Liangzuo has just taken power for a while and is worried about internal and external troubles. At least during this period, he is still determined to be peaceful and friendly with the Song Dynasty. Cheng Kan opens the horse buying club. Wouldn't it be a way to undermine the "peace and friendship between the two countries"?

"I am also worried that if I don't do it well, I will become a scapegoat. I even doubt whether Mr. Cheng intends to deal with me."

"Dongweng, this won't be the case, don't forget, there is salt."

Nowadays, salt is no longer a large Yanzhou household purchases salt notes, but it is recorded in Yanzhou's salt administration.

This is also considered a political achievement.

What are the benefits for Cheng Kan if he killed Zhu Huan? Besides, it was Wang Ju who really offended him. Even if he offended him, he would have made contributions and make up for his mistakes. If he had to take revenge for this small matter, how did Cheng Kan take charge of the political affairs?

“Salt is troublesome.”

The trouble with salt is the second reason why Zhu Huan came.

As the scale grew bigger and bigger, Zhu Huanli was unable to follow suit, and the situation like Li Wan's aunt happened repeatedly. Even Wang Ju's two-percent dividend began to be dissatisfied.

"So..." Wang Ju held his chin and pondered.

Li Wan walked out of the room: "Brother-in-law, can these records be brought back to Yanzhou to view?"

Wang Ju wanted to laugh, what if you read these records? That's strange. The reason why Zhu Jun was able to win the imperial examination was that he had a solid basic skills. He reminded him, so he got the Mid-Autumn Festival exam, and his basic skills were the key!

A long time later, he suddenly had an idea and said, "Wait."

He hurried to Zhang Zai's house again.

"Mr., I want to sort out the records of my teacher's usual teachings and publish them into a book."

"Why did you think this?" Zhang Zai immediately looked at him vigilantly.

"Mr., to this day, Confucianism has embarked on a path of losing the roots and seeking the end. With the power of one teacher, even if the two Chenggongs are added, how can we turn the tide? If this booklet is thrown out, it may cause everyone to think and play a role in throwing bricks and attracting jade. Let's reflect on it together, then the ills of Confucian development since the Han and Tang Dynasties will gradually improve and return to the foundation of Confucianism. Use the scriptures to carry the Tao and teach everyone how to be a person, govern the country and pacify the world."

Wang Ju said calmly.

Maybe Zhang Zai has not yet figured out many of the principles, so the Qizhuan theory is a bit vague. This is where Zhang Zai is not as good as Er Cheng. However, Er Cheng's natural principles are dogmatic and hypocritical, which is where Er Cheng is not as good as Zhang Zai.

If Wang Ju had asked him to make a choice, he would rather have a vague Qizhu theory than a second Cheng's theory of nature.

The theory of the second Cheng Tianli was far-reaching. There are several reasons. Zhang Zai asked Er Cheng for advice when he was waiting for the appointment in Beijing, which invisibly reduced Zhang Zai's status.

Ercheng once entered the center of power, instead of like Zhang Zai. Finally, he saw the cruelty of politics and took the initiative to retreat.

Zhang Zai died early, and some children from Guanzhong turned to Ercheng due to geographical reasons.

At the same time, Yang Shi and Zhu Guangting, two Luo students, were desperately advocating.

But what if he replaces Yang and Zhu?

This is not only for the teacher, but also for the nation... He can also follow him.

Zhang Zai asked him to participate in the next imperial examination, so he will participate in the autumn examination next year. However, he will have more than a year to study, so he will still have the confidence to do the Mid-Autumn examination. The year after, he will go to Beijing to participate in the provincial examination and palace examination. That depends on luck.

The road to Jinshi is far away, and there is a Maojian behind it. Otherwise, the power of a master or a manager joining the army will still not be strong.

However, fame is also a kind of power.

"That's how you think?"

"Really, and the disciples do not know how to sign, nor dare to sign." In order to motivate their mentor, Wang Ju took retreat as an advance.

"That's not the case, but it takes a lot of money to print a book..." Zhang Zai did not say further. Behind Wang Ju were all the major Yanzhou private salt dealers who were unclear. Can you still have money to print a book?

He couldn't help but shake his head: "If that happens, you can organize it first and I will modify it."

"Hey, mentor, what is the intention of Mr. Cheng to buy a horse buying club in Yanzhou?"

"Horse Buying Club?" Zhang Zai was also stunned. The court also set up a horse buying club in Shaanxi during the Qingli War. Then, Song and Xia agreed to provide one thousand horses to the Song Dynasty a year, not including private horses. Tubo also traded a large number of war horses with the Song Dynasty a year.

The focus of the national horse politics is not how to buy horses, but how to raise horses.

The horse-buying club and the Zhu family have different natures. If you buy horses in large quantities, you won’t be able to buy good horses, and Xixia will not agree. If you don’t do it well, it will cause diplomatic disputes.

What does Cheng Kan mean?

It seems that the teacher doesn't know.

Wang Ju returned home and said, "Dongweng, second brother, we will return to Yanzhou tomorrow."

"ah."

"Second brother, I wish you a happy New Year, no, it's a holiday."

"It's right," Zhu Huan said.

Zhu Huan didn't know that the little princess gave him a thousand guan of money, but he knew that Wang Ju had paid dividends last year, and Wang Ju was not short of money.

According to etiquette, you should also go to your father’s house to pay a visit to New Year’s Day in moderation.

"I'm going back again." Li Wan looked sad.

"Second brother, maybe your father is also disgusted in his heart, but it's just that it's hard to say for the elders."

But Wang Ju didn't expect that he would hand over the aunt quickly.

As the Lantern Festival approaches, Yanzhou City is very lively, and many families are preparing to set up lanterns. This is the largest festival in the Song Dynasty.

The weather was still very cold, and the howling northwest wind blew, causing Li Fei'er's cheeks to flush, but it made her even more charming.

"Not bad, I've grown taller," Wang Ju stroked Li Fei'er's hair.

According to the local customs at this time, it is normal for them to get married. However, Wang Ju always felt a little strange in his heart, but when he grew up a year ago, the strange aura disappeared.

Li Wan was watching the elder brother-like movements from behind, and was a little ridiculous. Is my sister your sister or her fiancée?

Before Li Fei'er could detect it, this intimate action added a thick layer of blush to her face.

"You have grown taller, too."

"Of course, I haven't seen you for more than a year. You and I have been growing up together, and we all grew up together."

"It's okay over Yunyan."

"It's okay. It's just small, not as many households as a street in Yanzhou."

The number of households in some large villages in border villages is as high as that in Yunyan County. Of course, the nature is different. Although they are small, they are the political and commercial centers of a county.

"Who is this?" a woman in her fifties came over and asked.

Seeing Li Wan's face, Wang Ju also knew it and gave a gift: "I've seen my aunt."

If Lü was his aunt, then Li Fei'er and his sister had too many aunts, but etiquette had to be done.

"You are that poor boy." Lu stayed in the Li family for several days for salt, deliberately inquiring about Wang Ju's affairs, true or false, but in her eyes, Wang Ju was very poor.

But I can't say it, wouldn't this say be disappointing?

Erniu and Sanniu's faces turned pale all of a sudden.

Without speculation, Wang Ju walked in.

Erniu asked strangely: "Is my family really poor?"

In her eyes, my brother is very rich now.

"Haha, my husband is the magistrate."

"Zhang Gong is also a magistrate, and he doesn't have much money."

Wang Juzheng was waiting for the younger sister's words: "Second sister, you don't understand that Mr. Zhang is a clean official, not greedy, so he doesn't have much money. But as a corrupt official, even if he is a magistrate, he will be very rich."

"What are you saying?" Mrs. Lu jumped up suddenly.
