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

Chapter 69 A serious and pragmatic attitude (ninth update)

When Zhao Zhen heard Zhao Jun's words, he immediately showed a pensive expression.

He actually wanted to agree right away.

Because these days, Zhao Jun has been talking about the "Qingli New Deal", which made him look down upon by Fan Zhongyan countless times, so that he learned from the pain and decided to support his reform.

So if Zhao Jun's method is correct, and the method adopted is relatively mild and does not involve mass killings, he will definitely express his undivided support.

But since he grew up in a deep palace and had fought for power with Liu E for many years, how could the majestic Song Renzong not even have a city.

Zhao Zhen knew that if he nodded and agreed without hesitation without even thinking at all, then Zhao Jun would definitely suspect that he only agreed verbally and would not take actual actions, and he would definitely not trust him by then.

This distrust may create a gap between the two parties. If Zhao Jun refuses to work hard to strengthen the Song Dynasty, it will be bad.

Therefore, Zhao Zhen pretended to be thoughtful in order to confuse Zhao Jun.

I saw him frowning, pondering, or thinking deeply. After a long time, he seemed to have made up his mind, nodded slowly, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, I agree to all of this! "

cut!

He was so slow to agree, and still hesitant and hesitant, showing no sincerity at all.

Zhao Jun gave Zhao Zhen the middle finger in his heart.

Obviously Zhao Zhen's performance just now was in vain.

After all, the people who are fighting against him are a group of old political foxes. If they are not careful, they may be led into the ditch, so they need to behave well.

As a young man born in the 2000s, Zhao Jun is not so thoughtful. He only cares about being quick and quick rather than thinking twice before acting.

Therefore, Zhao Zhen's gesture was just to wink at the blind man - in vain.

However, Zhao Jun did not say it directly, but nodded and said: "Okay, then I can promise you that I will definitely find a way to help you make the Song Dynasty powerful."

"To have descendants like you to help me is truly a manifestation of the great power of Taizu and Emperor Taizong."

Zhao Zhen was very happy.

Zhao Jun waved his hands repeatedly and said: "Don't talk about Taizong, just talk about Taizu. Your spiritual manifestations are better than those of Zhao Guangyi. I think Zhao Guangyi has disgraced me, the old Zhao family, and I suggest that he be expelled from the Zhao family tree."

Zhao Zhen: "."

He said angrily: "Taizong is also your ancestor. Even if future generations don't like what their ancestors did, they should still respect them."

"Fine."

Zhao Jun responded without hesitation. In fact, he didn't have the nerve to tell Zhao Zhen that according to the village's genealogy records, they were descendants of Zhao Kuangyin's lineage and had nothing to do with Zhao Guangyi.

It's just that it would be a bit embarrassing to only worship emperors from the lineage of Taizu of the Southern Song Dynasty.

After all, the emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty actually didn't have any capable people, so he had to send the emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty to the clan ancestral hall, remove the ridiculously stupid ones, and add a few mediocre emperors to make it worthy of the twelve emperor tablets.

Seeing his look, Zhao Zhen was still a little worried, and warned: "I'll have to meet the princes later. I am the emperor after all, and Taizong and Zhenzong are also your ancestors, so you must respect them."

"I know, I know."

Zhao Jun responded again.

Zhao Zhen asked: "Then what should you do later?"

Zhao Jun's expression froze, he thought for a moment, and asked tentatively: "Should I be lame and pretend to be defeated by you?"

Zhao Zhen nodded with satisfaction: "You can teach me!"

I'm a big-headed idiot!

Zhao Jun clenched his fists and looked at Zhao Zhen's hateful look. He wanted to punch him twice in the face to let him know why the flowers were so red.

However, considering that I will have to make a living under Zhao Zhen in the future, I will tolerate it for the time being.

It’s just that Zhao Jun is not a vegetarian. He stared at Zhao Zhen with an unkind expression and said: “It’s okay to let me cooperate with you, but if you don’t firmly support me in the future and help outsiders deal with me, it will be over as long as I hammer you. Don’t you believe I really dare to fight with you?”

Now Zhao Zhen's expression was stagnant, and he thought to himself: Why are the descendants of the Zhao family so angry? He was simply stupid, always ready to fight and scold his mother, but this was a living ancestor who refused to let anyone live.

He had no choice but to change the subject and said: "Don't worry about this. Now that you know that you are in the Song Dynasty, how should we discuss our relationship in the future?"

"What do you want to say?"

Zhao Jun was puzzled. Old Zhao asked what he was doing.

Zhao Zhen smiled and said: "You are a descendant of the Zhao family, and I am your ancestor thousands of years ago. Logically speaking, you should call me distant ancestor, and I will call you grandson. But now that our ancestors and grandsons meet, I don't take advantage of it." If you are cheap, just call you Dasun."

"???"

Zhao Jun looked up and down at Zhao Zhen, who was about the same age as him, with a question mark on his face.

Good guy, I have become a grandson myself.

Didn't you say you didn't take advantage?

But one thing Zhao Zhen said is really right, that is, he is indeed one of his distant ancestors.

People in rural areas in the south still pay attention to seniority. Zhao Jun and his family belong to the same family as Yao'er, so they are relatively senior. An old man in his sixties in the same village wanted to call him uncle.

So in terms of seniority, there is no doubt about Zhao Zhen. After all, it is a thousand generations older. If we use 25 years as a generation, it would be at least 40 generations. Zhao Zhen calls Zhao Jun grandson, which is really not an advantage.

But Zhao Jun still felt awkward and asked: "How old are you?"

"Twenty-seven years old."

"How about we each talk about it separately? You call me Da Sun and I call you Big Brother."

"Outrageous!"

Zhao Zhen frowned and said, "This is simply against human ethics!"

"Then what do you say?"

Zhao Jun said tactfully, "We are only four years apart, and it is not appropriate to call you grandpa."

"To be precise, it should be nine hundred and ninety years old!"

Zhao Zhen seriously corrected, "You said before that the first year of Jingyou was 1034 AD, and you were born in 2000 AD. After calculation, I was born in 1010 AD, so you are nine hundred and ninety years younger than me."

Zhao Jun almost peed at the time, thinking that this guy has learned to defeat magic with magic?

He had to admit it and said, "Okay, you are awesome. Then let's take a step back. In public, I call you the official, and you call me by my name. In private, you call me the eldest grandson, and I call you the old master, okay?"

"Old master? What kind of address is that?"

Zhao Zhen thought for a while and said, "Why don't you call me brother?"

"That's fine."

Zhao Jun agreed reluctantly.

As a history student, he naturally knew that in ancient times, "gege" did not mean "brother" as in modern times, but meant "father".

In the Tang and Song dynasties, sons called their fathers "gege" and fathers called their sons "ge'er".

For example, Zhao Gou was called "jiuge'er" by Emperor Huizong of Song.

It was just because of infertility and weak knees that he was called Wanyan Jiumei by later generations, which was indeed a bit like a milk sister.

However, in modern times, "gege" means "elder brother", so they each took their own way. Zhao Zhen wanted to be his father, and Zhao Jun considered himself a younger brother, and everyone was happy.

Zhao Zhen, who had taken advantage of the title, said happily: "Then you will be my good grandson in the future. When you meet the gentlemen later, don't show your true colors. As an emperor, I still need to have some face, otherwise how can I convince the people?"

"Okay, okay."

Zhao Jun waved his hand, patted his thigh and said: "You broke my leg, okay."

"Then let's go back to Guanjia Palace."

Zhao Zhen was very satisfied with Zhao Jun's cleverness. Although he was a little tough, he knew how to adapt. He was not like Fan Zhongyan, the stubborn donkey, who could not be pulled back even by nine oxen.

Soon after Zhao Zhen shouted, Wang Shouzhong and the guards outside opened the gate of Qincan Palace, and Zhao Jun had to pretend to limp out.

Qincan Palace was right next to Guanjia Palace, not far away, and it took only twenty or thirty steps to get there. At this moment, all the ministers were anxiously waiting inside the door.

When Zhao Zhen appeared at the door, followed by Zhao Jun, who was limping and obedient, everyone was stunned.

"Your Majesty, what's this?"

Yan Shu was stunned. Zhao Jun, who was trying to kill himself just now, was so obedient now?

"Please take a seat."

Zhao Zhen walked in proudly and said, "I persuaded Zhao Jun with reason and emotion, and he was convinced."

Yan Shu hurriedly walked to Zhao Jun's side, wanting to check his injuries, but he was speechless when he saw that there was almost no sign of injury on his body, not even a drop of sweat on his face, and no expression of pain.

Zhao Jun winked at him and groaned, "Oh, it hurts so much. I really made a mistake, old ancestor. I will listen to you honestly in the future."

"Well, the young man is teachable."

Zhao Zhen walked to his dragon chair, a Huanghuali Taishi chair, sat down, pointed to the last seat and said, "You sit there."

"Thank you, sir."

Zhao Jun touched his butt with one hand and "limped" over again.

It's just that the poor acting skills of these two people really can't fool the old foxes present, mainly because Zhao Jun was not injured at all, and he couldn't act that state at all.

The expression on his face was relaxed, but he was basically howling with his mouth, and his legs were very stable. He was pretending to be in pain at the root of his thigh. Whether he was beaten or not, and whether his butt was injured or not, you can tell at a glance.

So now everyone's expression is very interesting, looking constipated.

But Zhao Zhen didn't dare to really beat him. It was not easy to negotiate a cooperation. What if Zhao Jun committed suicide if he really beat him?

So he could only fool around.

As long as it was acceptable, even if everyone knew it was an act, they probably wouldn't dare to say anything.

So, amid everyone's strange looks, both of them sat down.

No matter why Zhao Jun was still able to sit on the chair after being spanked, they almost told everyone that the emperor had just gone to ask Zhao Jun, and Zhao Jun reluctantly agreed.

But as the saying goes, people are in trouble, so the emperor's face still needs to be maintained by everyone.

Everyone had to pretend to be confused and said, "It's great that Zhao Jun can understand things so well and know the good intentions of the ancestors."

"Young people always have to suffer a little. It's better to suffer a few hits here than to suffer outside."

"The emperor is still very wise. With just a few words, Zhao Jun was convinced and admired by us."

Everyone talked nonsense, which gave Zhao Zhen both face and money, and characterized the incident as Zhao Jun finally succumbing to Zhao Zhen's stick.

But the shamelessness displayed made Zhao Jun dumbfounded, and he thought that the scholar-officials of the Song Dynasty were indeed as shameless as recorded in history books.

However, it was not a shameful thing for the ancestors to beat their descendants. Zhao Jun wanted to give Zhao Zhen some face, so he didn't care about these things.

"Okay, everyone, let's discuss the matter."

Zhao Zhen waved his hand to let the matter go.

After all, the ancestors, and the emperor, put on such a humble attitude to ask for the descendants of the future generations. There is really nothing to be proud of. It is important to get down to business quickly.

Lu Yijian looked at Zhao Jun and said in a deep voice: "Zhao Jun, you also know the situation in the Song Dynasty now. Is there anything you want to say?"

Zhao Jun took a deep breath, knowing that now was the time to show his true abilities and determine his future status.

Six or seven hours have passed since he first discovered that he had traveled to the Song Dynasty and felt disbelief, fainting, waking up, confused, at a loss, and the sadness of losing his parents, family, relatives and friends.

Time gradually healed everything, and slowly he began to learn to accept it.

Time travel is an established fact. Since fate has arranged it this way, you must consider how you should proceed in the future.

Therefore, he thought a lot on the way here and when he was at Qinsi Palace just now.

What to do next?

Try your best to change the Song Dynasty, or start a ruined life?

That is naturally the former.

After all, Yan Shu is right, don't rebel if you wear it clean, use an electric drill as a chrysanthemum.

If you don't want to change the fate of the Han people being enslaved by the Mongolian Yuan and Manchu Qing in the future, then you are in vain to be a good young man in the new era.

But the actual start is another matter.

Zhao Jun thought carefully for a long time, and finally looked at everyone seriously and said slowly: "Actually, I don't know what to do."

When these words came out, unlike the expected expressions of disappointment on everyone's faces, everyone was still listening.

"I remember what I said before, because I was not in the Song Dynasty, so I didn't understand the situation in the Song Dynasty. It was difficult to start doing things immediately. If you don't understand anything and give directions immediately, that would be called random command. "

"So before I understand the actual current situation of the Song Dynasty, the only things I can do and propose are the following points."

Zhao Jun raised a finger: "First, from the perspective of the entire world, the Western Age of Discovery has not yet begun, and North America was not discovered by Columbus until the 15th century AD, which was about 400 years later."

"I have a map of the world in my bag. The navigation technology of the Song Dynasty was unparalleled at the same time. With a map and a compass, I went to sea and went all the way north along the Bering Strait to North and South America, looking for corn, sweet potatoes, potatoes, and peppers. and other high-yielding crop seeds to increase productivity.”

"Agricultural reform must select improved seeds, experiment with hybridization, fatten and refine crops, reform agricultural tools, and build farmland water conservancy and irrigation facilities."

"But these things are dead. The principle is very simple and can be understood as soon as it is explained. But the key is that there is no shortcut. It takes several generations to do it. Mr. Yuan also spent decades, and he was lucky enough to find a plant similar to Only unique mutant rice seedlings can be successful.”

"So in terms of agricultural reform, I can only provide general guidance. However, crops such as corn, sweet potatoes and potatoes can naturally increase production. In the era of the Song Dynasty, if you have these, it will be no less than the same as Champa rice. The second agricultural revolution will be more than enough to feed two to three billion people and will greatly alleviate the increasingly acute social conflicts.”

"If farmers have a way to survive, the conflicts with the landlord class will ease, which will leave sufficient and precious time for the Song Dynasty officials to solve the problems of land annexation and uneven distribution of social wealth."

After the words ended, everyone's face showed approval.

Not only did Zhao Jun put forward a practical plan, but his attitude was extremely clear and correct.

The great man said that practice is the only criterion for testing truth.

Zhao Jun had just arrived and didn't understand the specific situation of the Song Dynasty at all. He immediately started to seek power and status, and then pointed out the country. In the eyes of this group of people, that was called a bad thing.

It's one thing to be a keyboard warrior on the Internet, but it's another thing to actually do it.

You don’t know what the problems were in the Song Dynasty, what were the conflicts between the landlord class and the peasant class, how the complex officialdom and redundant army were formed, and why today’s situation was created.

Nothing can be explained, and various measures will be promulgated immediately. Isn't that pushing the Song Dynasty into a pit of fire?

That's why Zhao Jun's serious and pragmatic attitude is admirable.

The problem of the sixth update still exists. When I first wrote it, I didn’t expect that the character design would be ruined. The character I set as the protagonist is a passionate and motivated person, not afraid of death but a little bit afraid of death. He has just left the society, graduated from college, and is smart. A young man who is full of energy and knows how to be flexible. But I patronized the jokes and jokes and lost the original character. This is indeed my problem. I have also looked at the current issues, and they are basically the same as before, and they still need to be changed. I will study it carefully to see if it can be as funny and interesting as before, but I must ensure that the logic of the plot is smooth and the characters are not broken. Please wait for my good news.
