"Brother, in your opinion, I am a half-hearted member. I am afraid that in the eyes of the Song family, we are going to replace you. But this is not important. If the Chen family wants to succeed, it will eventually happen." Chen Hongjin understood clearly.

The Song family was definitely not willing to succumb to the Chen family, and some of their actions were normal. I just couldn't imagine that he would actually attract outsiders. It seemed that he had to show off his strength and beat them.

"Even if our Chen family is in power, and the Song family is as strong as me, it won't hurt our muscles and bones. Why can't they understand?" Chen Hongyue looked puzzled. Anyway, your Song family will definitely not be in power. Then Jinjiang

Wang Lian has no heir, is it possible that he is still planning to support the adopted child? Your Song family doesn't have the strength either.

"Brother, although there is a royal palace above, they don't interfere in sea trade, they just share some profits. If I, the Chen family, come to power, I will not only take away the profits, but also occupy the largest share. And I can do it at any time.

Kick the other three companies away and run the business exclusively by yourself. After all, no one thinks that the money is too much. I don’t believe that the elder brother has not thought about it this way." Chen Hongjin laughed. Even he didn’t believe what the elder brother said. If that day comes, Haitrade will be the one sooner or later.

The Chen family has exclusive rights. Whether the Song family can escape unscathed and become an ordinary wealthy businessman depends on whether they are willing to do so.

"After decades of friendship, we have to give him some dignity. It won't be too much." Chen Hongyue felt a little short of breath when he thought about his family being the sole hegemon, but he could only think about it for the time being.

"Brother, don't worry. This time I will personally lead six thousand elites northward to give Jianzhou a bit of a show. If the governor of Jianzhou knows what he is doing, what kind of trouble can the three families make when they join forces." Chen Hongjin didn't want these messy involvements and only believed in them.

With their strength, as long as they can deal with Jianzhou, they can still make waves.

"Forget it, second brother, you have to take it easy. Although the Southern Tang Dynasty has declined, it still has strength. If it really angers the other party, it will be difficult for us." Even if the Southern Tang Dynasty's strength has declined, it is still known as the top six.

One hundred thousand, which is far from the Qingyuan Army. However, the road is difficult to travel, the army's logistics is difficult, and the Yue State is restraining it, so it is reluctant to use weapons to the south.

"Don't worry, brother, I know it well." Chen Hongjin nodded. It's not like he has never dealt with the army of the Southern Tang Dynasty. As long as he doesn't go deep into Jianzhou this time, I don't think they will make a massive counterattack.

At this time, in Jiangning Mansion and Jinling City, the king of the country, Li Yu, was staring at the map, holding a wine glass in one hand, and his face was flushed.

"My good brother, Sun Yu is extraordinary!" Li Yu just circulated Jianzhou's memorial in the main hall, and all the officials looked sideways. This chaotic situation in Jianzhou was completely reversed in just three months.

"Imperial brother has a keen eye and knows people. My brother is just recommending people. However, Xu Shangshu wants to send officials to Jianzhou to take up their posts. What does the emperor think?" King Han was also happy. This is the biggest good news since the king ascended the throne.

, and since Sun Yu can conquer Jianzhou in March, his subsequent plan is not just a mirror, but just around the corner. If he can win the Quanzhou and Zhangzhou of the Qingyuan Army, it will be a real expansion of territory.

The whole world will look at it. Moreover, with an outlet to the sea, the goods of the Southern Tang Dynasty can be traded directly with Nanyang or the Liao Kingdom in the north, and no longer need to be controlled by others.

"No, I promised Sun Yu that he would recommend all the officials and report them to the staff. I can't see it when I'm desperate.

Seeing them, picking peaches is really fast, it’s a beautiful thought. I’m so sorry for him. The only legitimate son of the Duke of Tangtang, the governor of Yizhou, was forced to start a business, Jianzhou Trading Company, haha, it’s interesting.” Seeing this.

Sun Yu had the opportunity to open a gap in Nantang's predicament. Li Yu would never dare to let others hold him back. If it weren't for the fact that the Ministry of Household Affairs had no money, Li Yu would have wished to allocate more money and food to help him develop faster.

.

"It's hard on him. I still owe my brother a hundred thousand taels, and I don't know when I can pay it back." King Han thought of the scene before Sun Yu left, and felt it was a bit funny, and his idea came to him.

"Gu never treats a loyal person badly. Since he has accomplished something, he will be rewarded. Lao An, I decree that Sun Yu, the governor of Jianzhou, will be granted the title of Uncle Zhongyong and give him the treasure of Gu, the Tianji Bow." Since he has no money,

Then give it glory. As for the Tianji Bow, it is a favorite collection of Li Yu. It is a good story that the bow was given to a good general.

"Okay, I'll go and do it now." Eunuch An took the order and went to do it. This title has always been the exclusive authority of the royal family and has nothing to do with the adults in the court. As long as Li Yu speaks.

"Brother, are you serious about not sending more men?" After all, the Qingyuan Army has tens of thousands of troops, and it occupies the prosperous Quanzhou and Zhangzhou. Sun Yu holds the barren Jianzhou with thousands of soldiers, can he really succeed?

?

"Let him fiddle with himself. If something happens, we can have an explanation. If we really send troops to support and something happens, we won't be able to evade it." Although Li Yu hoped that Sun Yu could complete the plan, he also had to leave some time for himself.

There is no way out, and the Northern Song Dynasty really can't afford to offend him. I still want to live a stable life for a few years.

"That's all we can do." King Han nodded. Of course he understood his brother's thoughts. He wanted to eat meat, but was afraid of burning his mouth. But in this fight for the world, there is no one who would not take risks. Although the Northern Song Dynasty was powerful now, there were quite a lot of separatist forces in the world.

Many, the Southern Tang Dynasty is not only stronger, but also occupies the natural danger of the Yangtze River. As long as the defense of the Yangtze River is consolidated, there will be no attack on the Southern Tang Dynasty before other separatist forces are captured.

Sun Yu, who was far away in Jianpu, had no idea what was happening in the court. Today is the day when the Governor's Mansion was completed. Sun Yu had been in Jianzhou for half a year, and he was finally able to work in the Governor's Mansion. As soon as he entered the Governor's Mansion.

The main entrance is a front yard, and on both sides are the offices of officials and minor officials. The main hall is where Sun Yu works. There is also a yard at the back, where Sun Yu and his family live.

"Sir, there are serious vacancies among county officials. It's time for us to recruit talented people." Fusha, Youxi, and Shunchang counties at least have a temporarily appointed county magistrate. Sha County currently relies on its own soldiers to maintain it.

In order to maintain order, the county government is empty, so there is no solution.

"It is necessary to recruit some, but not too many. All these officials have to pay salaries. If there are too many, the expenses will be high, and it will be easy to blame each other. It is not as good as setting up a chief bookkeeper in each county, one to recommend officials, and one to learn the truth.

That's enough. For the remaining petty officials and government officials, some quotas can be given and each locality can recruit on its own." Xu Yi was quite dissatisfied with the official system of the Southern Tang Dynasty. It was common for officials to get entangled and shirk each other.

"Okay, but this school cannot be appointed directly. You have to study under me and pass my examination before you can be appointed. In addition, I want to set up another state school to teach various skills. Ordinary people can learn more scriptures and meanings.

, it doesn’t mean much, it’s better to learn some skills to make a living.” Sun Yu naturally wanted to reform education and reduce the classics and meanings.

increase the proportion of mathematics and natural science, and sow the seeds of science in this world. When natural science takes root in this land, the lives of ordinary people will inevitably be greatly improved.

"Your Excellency, you want to make enemies of the Confucian scholars in the world?" When Xu Yi heard this, he suddenly took a breath of cold air. His own governor must have gone crazy. Since the Han Dynasty only respected Confucianism, this Confucianism has occupied the position of orthodoxy in the world, and all

Scholars all call themselves children of saints. If you want to change this, you will probably be hated by scholars all over the world.

"Sir, think about it, how many scholars are there in the world? How many of them can be named on the gold medal list? Instead of spending a lifetime doing nothing, why not learn some skills and do what you can to improve your life for yourself and your family?

I am not saying that the meaning of the classics is not important, but not everyone is suitable for studying the classics. Do you think so?" As a Sima, I was born in a serious imperial examination, so I had to convince him first.

"Ten people studying, one or two will be scholars, and out of ten scholars it will be difficult for one to be elected. As for Jinshi, in addition to knowledge, it also depends on luck. Some scholars with good knowledge will never be admitted to the list in their lifetime." Xu Yi shook his head, like him

There are very few such young Jinshi scholars. For example, his teacher was top-notch in knowledge and character, but he failed the exam three times and had to return to his hometown to teach. I am afraid that he will stop at being a scholar in this life.

"That's it. Most people are not talented in this way, but they may be good at other things. For example, blacksmithing, building canals or building cities, just like Mr. Song, he is suitable for overseas trade. What we have to do is to

Everyone is placed in the position that suits him best." Sun Yu talked eloquently.

"What the adults said makes sense, but what are you going to teach besides the meaning of the scriptures?" Xu Yi thought about it, and it was indeed the case. Since you are not good at it, persistence becomes meaningless. Just like the three great craftsmen.

, I may not be able to study, but the craftsmanship is really good. If I were to forge iron by myself, I would probably be far behind them.

"It's like this. Ordinary students will add one math and one natural science." Now that Xu Yi was a little relieved, Sun Yu didn't care and said it directly.

"Arithmetic is also one of the six arts of a gentleman, so there is no big problem. What is this natural science?" Xu Yi asked himself that he had read a lot and was well-informed, but he had never heard of natural science.

"Natural science is to study some laws in nature and make use of them. The sage said: You don't talk about strange forces and gods. In fact, everything in this world has traces to follow, and there are no ghosts." Deal with these Confucians.

Disciple, the best way is to use Zi's spear to attack Zi's shield. In fact, among hundreds of scholars, Mohism is the most proficient in this way, but it later declined and is rarely heard of now.

"Seriously?" Xu Yi has never thought about this. Could it be that there are rules in these things?

"Guess sir, if two iron balls, one big and one small, fall from a height at the same time, which one will hit the ground first?" Sun Yu remembered the famous experiment of two iron balls falling to the ground at the same time in later generations, so he used it to break the shackles in Xu Yi's heart.

.

"Of course the big iron ball hit the ground first." Xu Yi replied without hesitation. The heavy object must have hit the ground first. He still has this common sense.
