In the Song Dynasty, there was no law or order.

Two years of insulting His Majesty?

Was twenty years the top secret of the Song Dynasty revealed?

Is the fact that co-author Zhao Guangyi is a stupid pig the top secret of the Song Dynasty?

Everyone looked at each other.

Lu Yijian and the others wanted to laugh but didn't dare to, they were almost hurt from holding it in.

Zhao Zhen's face was stiff, and the corners of his mouth kept twitching.

He now regrets listening to Da Song's jokes.

Yan Shu couldn't help but glance at Zhao Zhen, with a hint of complaint in his eyes.

Originally, he had stopped Zhao Jun from telling Song Dynasty jokes, but Zhao Zhen was still curious and wanted to hear them, and now he probably couldn't get off the stage.

"Forehead"

After a while, Fan Zhongyan laughed twice and said, "Teacher Zhao, this joke is very good. Don't tell it again next time."

"What for? Oh, I almost forgot, Uncle Lari is a fan of Zhao Guangyi."

Zhao Jun suddenly realized this and was a little embarrassed for a moment. He guessed that the old village chief's face probably didn't look very good now.

"Let's eat."

Yan Shu had no choice but to change the topic.

Breakfast has been served, which is a bowl of gruel and two steamed buns. After serving Zhao Jun for so many days, Yan Shu already knows how much he eats.

Zhao Jun finished his breakfast three times, five times, five times, and two times, and then shouted that he wanted to go out for a walk.

Fan Zhongyan and Yan Shu went up to support him, one on the left and the other on the right. In order to prevent Zhao Jun from judging anything strange from their hands, they only held their arms and sleeves, trying not to touch the skin through their clothes.

After all, both of them came from official families and had not done much farm work. Their hands were not as rough as farmers. What if Zhao Jun discovered something was wrong and became suspicious?

So just don’t contact him to avoid being found out.

That's the details.

In addition to his eye injuries, Zhao Jun also suffered some external injuries. He hadn't walked around outside for more than 20 days, which made him feel like his limbs were almost useless.

After leaving the door, a soft morning breeze blew. Through the hazy gauze, he could vaguely feel a little sunshine. His field of vision was still invisible, but it was no longer as full of darkness as before.

For the first time, he felt that Chaoyang and Qingfeng were so cute.

"hiss."

Zhao Jun suddenly took a breath of cold air.

Fan Zhongyan wondered: "What's wrong?"

"The wound on the inner thigh hurts."

"It's okay. This wound is relatively large. The doctor has stitched it up for you. It should be healed soon."

"Maybe it's because I haven't been out for a long time and it hurt me."

Zhao Jun walked a few steps and felt his legs were weak. He had to borrow the strength of Yan Shu and Fan Zhongyan to walk.

But in the early days of getting out of bed, it will be much better if you take a few steps and get used to it.

Coming out of the house, Zhao Jun could feel himself stepping on wooden boards, and a moment later he was on the mud and gravel road.

There was a smell of birdsong and the fragrance of flowers, and the air was particularly fresh. He couldn't help but feel that the air quality deep in the mountains was really good.

"This is my home, and that's the Almugu home in front."

Yan Shu pointed at a pavilion in front and lied. The area of ​​the back garden actually only accounts for one-twelfth of the entire palace, about 0.08 square kilometers, or 80,000 square meters.

It sounds very big, but it is only about the size of 10 standard football fields, and most of it is garden grass with not many buildings, making it very empty.

But Yan Shu had to simulate a Nini Village in his mind, so he had to make a model budget in his mind.

He even made several drawings for this purpose.

Coming out of the small courtyard where Zhao Jun lives, there is a bamboo forest outside. After passing through the bamboo forest is a grassland. To the south are rockeries, ponds, groves and farmland outside the Guanjia Hall. It is winding and winding, really like a small courtyard. Mountain village.

Because Zhao Jun is blind, he does not need to rebuild a village.

It was enough to outline the appearance of the village in front of Zhao Jun's eyes.

For example, this pavilion belongs to Lu Yijian's family, that rockery belongs to Wang Zeng's family, and the Guanjia Hall belongs to Zhao Zhen's family.

As for whether it will be worn or not, there is no need to worry.

There is no need to consider the style of the house or the electrical appliances.

Because Zhao Jun is blind!

Which blind person wants to watch TV and use electrical appliances?

Moreover, his legs and feet were injured and he had difficulty walking. All his actions were controlled by Yan Shu.

So to put it simply, this so-called Nini Village is a fake village with only people and no specific buildings.

Wang Zeng, codenamed Almugu, stood in front of the pavilion and greeted Zhao Jun: "Teacher Zhao, I am Algumu, and Ran La Azhi is my granddaughter."

"Hello."

Zhao Jun nodded repeatedly, he knew who Ran La Azi was.

On the side, Yan Shu was very proud. Zhao Jun was not allowed to introduce the students before in class, but now he still had to introduce them. He couldn't waste his efforts.

Then he led Zhao Jun on the gravel path in the Imperial Garden of the Back Garden, pointing out the left and right sides one by one.

"This is the family of Kasyot, this is the family of Jidifa, this is the family of Dalabengba, this is the family of Liguadoji, and this is the family of Malegebi."

Lu Yijian, codenamed "Malegebi", rolled his eyes. He strongly suspected that Yan Shu did it on purpose.

"Hello, 伱hao."

Zhao Jun didn't dare to say anything or ask anything. He just nodded and said hello. Originally, he wanted to go up and shake hands, but his hands were held by Yan Shu and Fan Zhongyan, so he had to nod.

When he arrived at the corridor outside the Guanjia Hall, Zhao Zhen, whose pseudonym was "Waza Muguo", waved according to the script and said: "Teacher Zhao, come in and sit down and have a drink of water."

Although Zhao Zhen's face showed enthusiasm, he was very excited in his heart.

During this period, because he could not reveal his identity, he could only passively endure the scolding, no matter how Zhao Jun scolded him.

Now he finally had an identity and could communicate with Zhao Jun.

Zhao Zhen swore that if Zhao Jun scolded him again, he would find a way and reason to refute him fiercely and make Zhao Jun speechless!

Hearing Zhao Zhen's invitation, without waiting for Zhao Jun to agree or not, Yan Shu and Fan Zhongyan carried him over there, saying as they walked: "I am tired, drink some water."

Zhao Jun was almost half-pushed and half-carried to be carried over, and he secretly complained that these two old men were really bad, they were tired after just a few steps, and they were also the village chief and village party secretary.

Soon he was carried to the corridor of Guanjia Hall, where there was an eight-immortal table and several chairs outside. Wang Shouzhong came over with a tray and looked at Zhao Jun curiously.

He didn't know much. As a eunuch, Wang Shouzhong was conscientious and trusted by Zhao Zhen.

However, the Song Dynasty learned the lesson of the eunuchs' meddling in politics in the Tang Dynasty and was extremely sensitive to the meddling of eunuchs in politics, so Wang Shouzhong understood the philosophy of listening less, watching less, and talking less to protect himself.

Perhaps it was because of this that he was able to achieve the position of the chief eunuch in the Ministry of Eunuchs.

After putting down the water cup on the tray, Wang Shouzhong consciously stepped back and walked more than 20 meters away, where he could not hear the specific sound.

Zhao Jun was lifted to sit on the chair, with a water cup in his hand. It was made of ceramic and felt good. He was surprised that there was such a finely crafted cup in this deep mountain forest?

"Teacher Zhao."

After Zhao Zhen handed the water cup to Zhao Jun, he said, "You said before that we could talk about history after class. How about we talk about it now?"

Zhao Jun recognized that the voice was the young man who had refuted him before that the Song Dynasty was still very powerful.

This made him very puzzled.

What about the poor mountain village deep in Daliang Mountain?

Why are the villagers so interested in history?

Are they bored at home and read history books every day?

Don't they farm?

"What's your name, Wa?"

"Wazamuguo."

"Oh, hello, hello, I remember you said the Song Dynasty was great at that time?"

"Yes."

"Why do you think the Song Dynasty was great?"

Zhao Jun asked in confusion.

Zhao Zhen proudly said: "The great Song Dynasty has vast territory and abundant resources!"

"Of course."

Zhao Zhen added: "This is not compared with the new China now, but with the ancient times."

"Ah, that's it?"

Zhao Jun scratched his head and said: "2.8 million square kilometers is also called vast territory and abundant resources? What about the Liao Kingdom with an area of ​​5 million square kilometers? What about the Western Arab Empire with an area of ​​more than 13 million square kilometers at the same time."

"Uh"

Zhao Zhen was choked for a moment.

When he heard Zhao Jun talk about the area of ​​the Song Dynasty compared to the area of ​​the new China, he thought that the new era was strong after all, and it was normal for the area to be large.

But at least at the same time, the land territory of the Song Dynasty should be the largest.

After all, the concept of land area in this era was not very clear, and Zhao Zhen did not know the specific area of ​​the Liao Kingdom.

As a result, he never expected that the Liao Kingdom was so vast, and there was an Arab Empire in the west with a territory many times larger than that of the Song Dynasty, which slapped him in the face.

For a moment, Zhao Zhen could not find a reason to refute. He hesitated for a while and said hesitantly: "It, it. The economy of the Song Dynasty is very good."

"Then what?"

Zhao Jun asked again.

". Cultural prosperity?"

"What else?"

"Did the Song Dynasty break the aristocratic family system of the Han and Tang Dynasties?"

"That's it? What else?"

"And education!"

"Forget about education. Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism imprisons people's thoughts and poisons women. It is all feudal dregs that cater to the ruling class. History textbooks have criticized it."

"Uh"

Zhao Zhen was speechless for a while.

After all, there are only a few aspects of a country's national strength that can be compared.

Economy, culture, military, politics, technology, education, human resources, etc.

The economy and culture of the Song Dynasty are indeed okay, but apart from these two things, what else can be shown?

Technology?

Shen Kuo is only five years old this year.

Among the four great inventions, only movable type printing appeared in the Song Dynasty.

Moreover, movable type printing is far less effective than woodblock printing in popularizing education.

Politics, education, human resources, etc. are even more incomparable.

Especially education, the three obediences and four virtues, men are superior to women, women without talent are virtuous, starving to death is a small matter, losing chastity is a big matter, all of these are things from this time.

Since then, Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism has flourished. In the Tang Dynasty, women could put on makeup and go out. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, they basically became dead houses that never left the house, and they were also called "ladies of noble families".

There are also eight-part essays in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, which also originated from Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism, which imprisoned people's thoughts, poisoned women, fooled the lower class people, solidified the class, and finally trained people into slaves.

So although the Song Dynasty had good development in the lower class and universal education, the overall environment education began to decline from the Song Dynasty.

Zhao Jun heard Zhao Zhen was speechless and couldn't explain it, so he smiled and said: "The economy of the Song Dynasty is indeed the peak of all feudal dynasties, but its economy is too distorted, and 80% to 90% of it is used for military expenditures. There is also a fiscal deficit of several million guan every year. By the time of Emperor Renzong, the fiscal deficit had accumulated to more than 30 million guan. What's the point?"

"Hmm"

Zhao Zhen couldn't respond because it was a fact. Among the three redundant problems, the biggest problem was redundant soldiers. The fiscal revenue of the Song Dynasty was only 60 to 70 million guan each year, of which at least 40 to 50 million guan was spent on military expenditures.

Officials' salaries were only 4 million guan per year, and the rest, including official land, silk, food, rewards, ice, charcoal, spices, etc., definitely did not exceed 10 million guan, which shows how much military expenditure was.

So the Song Dynasty's economy was indeed good, but the good economy did not spend money on the right things, but instead raised a large number of refugee troops with little combat effectiveness, which was meaningless.

Zhao Jun continued: "The Song Dynasty cannot deny its economic achievements, but a healthy national finance must be reasonably planned. Unless it is a war period, military expenditure cannot be too high. Our country's annual military expenditure now accounts for only 7 or 8 percent of fiscal expenditure, but even so, it is already the second largest military capability in the world."

"On the other hand, most of the Song Dynasty's fiscal expenditure was spent on military expenditure, and very little was invested in education, science and technology, medical care, transportation, economic construction, etc. The country stagnated for a long time, coupled with the confinement of feudal ethics, long-term superstition of Confucianism, and no research on science and technology, which eventually led to its demise."

"And even the largest military expenditure is a joke, spending so much money every year , raising a group of parasites with low combat effectiveness, and the bulk of the money is basically eaten up by those generals and dignitaries, and the bottom-level wing troops and imperial guards don't get much. "

"It would be a good thing to fatten up some capable generals and train a group of elite soldiers."

"But the problem is that all the money spent on raising trash is useless. When there is money to be made, these noble generals only know how to suck the blood of soldiers and take empty salaries to embezzle the finances. When the country is in trouble, they run faster than anyone else, and their kneeling and surrendering postures are more standard than one another. For the country, they are useless. "

"So the emperors of the Song Dynasty are stupid. What's the point of raising these things? It's better to spend all the money to subsidize the lower-level people."

Spending money to subsidize the people?

Zhao Zhen was inspired. Is this a good way to govern the country?

I understand. This is called hiding wealth among the people.

He immediately asked, "Teacher Zhao, I've figured it out. If we spend money on the people, can we make the Song Dynasty rich and strong?"

"You figured it out."

Zhao Jun smiled and said, "What I mean is, if we spend money on the people, when the Song Dynasty falls, at least we can still have a good reputation among the people."

Everyone was shocked and almost peed at that time.

What?

When the Song Dynasty falls, at least we can still have a good reputation among the people?

After the speech, Zhao Zhen, Lu Yijian and others looked at each other in bewilderment.

They were used to Zhao Jun scolding the emperor of the Song Dynasty, and they didn't care.

And they were also very clear about the harm of redundant soldiers, and naturally knew how big the interest groups were formed here, and how much resistance there was to reform.

But why didn't we raise redundant soldiers and use the money to subsidize the people, and the country would still fall?

So it was a death inside and outside?
