Chapter 1,364 Running-in Period

The History of the Five Dynasties is by far the most difficult history book to compile. Even a great master like Sima Guang had a headache with it. It requires the great assistance of Ouyang Xiu and Liu Ye.

Among the histories of the Five Dynasties, the history of the Five Liangs is the most difficult among its difficulties.

The discovery of a large number of documents from that time is of immeasurable value in completing the "History of the Five Dynasties"!

In addition, the discovery of a large number of Confucian classics, especially those that had been lost, have been rediscovered, and their value is priceless.

Even those that have survived are of great value for editing, correcting, and copying.

This is a major project that Wang Anshi has been working on in Jiangning Mansion since his retirement.

The first load of materials was sent to Xijing. Sima Guang was shocked after opening it. He immediately wrote to Zhao Xu that Shazhou is our cultural treasure house of China and must be protected. He asked for the deployment of heavy troops to deter the surrounding small countries from acting rashly. At the same time, he immediately dispatched historians

Writers and writers went to Shazhou to assist Su Mingrun in properly identifying, preserving and transporting these precious cultural relics!

Zhao Xu was stunned when he received Sima Guang's letter. He just received a letter from you, the bachelor, a few days ago, saying that we should put the people first and not overreward sergeants and waste national reserves by expanding territory for in vain.

He also said that rewarding soldiers with land beyond the river is an improper act that dissipates the elite and weakens the country.

Now the situation suddenly changed...

I closed the memorial suspiciously and took another look at the cover. It was indeed written by Sima Junshi. Is that correct?

Once I opened it and took a closer look, I relied on volumes 5 to 20 of Liu Xiang's "Shuo Yuan"!

Liu Xiang, a member of the Western Han Dynasty clan, was once ordered to lead the school secretary.

The fate of the Chinese classics and the classics of various schools of thought has always been ill-fated.

Evaluation of "Hanshu·Yiwenzhi":

"The Spring and Autumn Period is divided into five, the Shi is divided into four, and the Book of Changes contains biographies of several families. During the Warring States Period, there were disputes over authenticity, and the opinions of various scholars were confused.

When the Qin Dynasty was in trouble, it was because the vassal vassal was destroyed and the country was ignorant of Guizhou.

The Han Dynasty prospered, the Qin Dynasty's defeat was improved, a large number of books were collected, and the road of book presentation was opened widely.

Until the time of Xiaowu, books were missing and slips were missing, etiquette was ruined, and music was ruined. The sage sighed and said: 'I am very compassionate!'"

So after the Han government gained some strength, it launched a major project to restore cultural classics.

"The strategy of building a collection of books is to appoint officials who write books, and the legends of the disciples are all filled with secret palaces."

"When he became emperor, his writings were scattered and he sent his visitor Chen Nong to ask for his legacy to the world."

After the books are collected, they need to be summarized, sorted, proofread, and printed. Liu Xiang is the master and organizer, and is a figure who has made outstanding contributions to Chinese culture.

From then on, the discipline of "Confucian classics" was created.

It can even be said that most of the classics of various schools of thought that you can see today are the products of Liu Xiang's compilation and revision.

Some of these works are even more organized than original, such as Liezi, and the more familiar one is Warring States Policy.

"Shuo Yuan", also known as "Xin Yuan", has a total of twenty volumes. It records anecdotes from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States to the Han Dynasty by category. Each category is preceded by a general description and followed by notes.

It mainly records the words and deeds of various scholars, and many chapters contain philosophical aphorisms about governing the country and the people, and the rise and fall of the country, which mainly embodies Confucian philosophical thoughts, political ideals and ethical concepts.

Like Sima Guang's old problem, Liu Xiang is also an author who likes to bring in personal information. He uses many borrowed topics to elaborate on Confucian political thoughts and moral concepts, which has a certain degree of philosophy.

Therefore, Liu Xiang is a figure that Confucian researchers cannot avoid. But now, only the first five volumes of "Shuo Yuan", which embodies Liu Xiang's thoughts and views, are left.

Liu Xiang was the master of the Spring and Autumn Period in the Western Han Dynasty, and Su You was also the master of the Spring and Autumn Period, and is now regarded as a master. Therefore, the discovery of this book is not only of great significance to the country, but also of great significance to Su You himself.

It makes more sense to Zhao Xu.

This is the solid, hammer, iron, and proof that the literary star of the Song Dynasty shines brightly and that destiny is destined.

Moreover, this memorandum shocked not only the officialdom.

There is also Buddhism and Taoism.

Especially Buddhism, Shazhou cultural archaeological discoveries, 80% of the classics are Buddhist classics, I heard that the great monk Daolong can't wait to pack his luggage.

Also ready to move is Zhang Tianshi. He always thought that Hexi was a Taoist desert. Now it seems, well... there is a great chance...

"Laozi Hua Hu Jing" appeared in the place where Buddhism was most prosperous, and appeared on the only way for the spread of Eastern culture to Tianzhu. Hahaha, this lawsuit needs to be postponed...

What's more, the friendship between myself and my little brother was an unbreakable friendship forged on the way to the scientific peak of the Song Dynasty together.

The common people in Bianjing City are enjoying this melon again.

Have you heard about it? A big discovery in Shazhou! Xiao Su Tanhua, wherever she goes, she will break out Wen Rui, she is an absolute Wenqu star.

Whoever wants to say that Wenquxing is someone else in the future, I, Ergou, will be the first to refuse!

Haha, you just know? Isn’t this the basic operation of Xiao Su’s probing for flowers? Our neighbors in Yiqiumen show that they are emotionally stable, and we have seen it a lot...

Sit down, sit down, the world's literary talents belong to the four Sus, isn't it a basic operation? The so-called Sichuan Gorge Four Roads, one stone for literary fortune, the Su family has one stone and two buckets!

Brother, your mathematics is not like someone from Shuzhong...

Is it wrong? That's right! Originally, God only planned to give eight dou to the Su family, and the remaining two were given to other people in Shu.

As a result, Wen Quxing descended to earth and asked God to borrow four buckets of money.

Now it’s better, Shuzhong owed God two buckets, and it took twenty years to pay it off!

Who in Sichuan doesn't know about this? How come I, from Meishan, don't understand mathematics...

Big news, big news! Oh, are you guys here? Fan Laosan is having tea! Let me tell you, Lao Li, just after he came out of the Jiaofang Department, even Jiaofang and the Hanlin Academy of Painting were alarmed by this matter...

Damn, haven’t you seen ghosts?! Shazhou too!

Ahem, cough, cough...Old Wang, you were exposed by visiting the brothel during the day...

Oops! Isn't it... the price of rice has plummeted? I went to find someone to inquire about the court's regulations. You are not allowed to talk nonsense when you go home! Your family and my family always like to go to Wan Xingji together!

…

The matter was so big that Zhao Xu had to summon the courtiers. What should I do? Su Mingrun would cause trouble for me!

We were forced to work overtime a few years ago, and now we are in such a mess again. What should we do?!

The courtiers all rolled their eyes secretly in their hearts. Your Majesty, you are really getting better and better at showing off...

What else can be done? Sima Guang is the best candidate, but Sima Guang is too old and too heavy to throw him over there.

Likewise, the great monk Daolong, who was similar to the national preceptor of the Liao Kingdom and the original Xixia, must of course be held down.

Fortunately, "History of the Five Dynasties" was compiled by Mr. Ouyang. His son Ouyang Fa was in Xijing, together with the famous epigrapher Liu Fengshi, the great monk Zhengdao Chong who had returned from the Liao Kingdom with great success, and the young and powerful Zhang Tianshi.

The Dunhuang archaeological team has been completed.

As for the candidates below, it’s up to them to prepare their own games.

…

In May, Xin Sishuo, the official system was implemented.

The minister of imperial edicts saves the left, the servants on the right shoot, and the prime minister combines the administration to save trouble.

Xinmao, hand-written edict: "Since the official system was promulgated, all internal and external departments, large and small, have reported delays in reporting official matters. Compared with the old Zhongshu, the delay has been several times, and everyone is worried that things will not be done. It should be done quickly.

The root of the matter is research, the decision is made early, the order is dispatched quickly, and the order is as decisive as the old Zhongshu dispatch."

Ji Chou, San Sheng Yan: "Nine temples, three prisons are divided into six Cao Cao. I want to make a statement."

The emperor said: "No. There is one temple and one prison, and the functions may belong to various Cao Cao. How can it be dedicated to the subordinates? It is better to call it Nine Temples, and the three prisons are subordinate to the six Cao Cao according to the affairs, and the orders are issued."

According to the imperial edict, Liucao was assigned to Liucha.

Guisi, served as minister of the province.

In the Wuxu period, two officials from each province were appointed to serve as censors.

After the restructuring, the highest administrative agencies began to operate.

The initial run-in period was difficult. Fortunately, one of the biggest drawbacks of restructuring in history has been eliminated by Suyou, which was the shortage of human resources caused by massive reductions in personnel.

Historically, after the restructuring, the official documents of the imperial court piled up and no one took care of them, and eventually it turned into a situation of returning to the old path without changing the medicine.

Although it still exists now, it has been greatly improved, and it is not insurmountable.

Because of the strong intervention of Su Song, Bi Zhongyan, Cai Jing and others, each department has a clear understanding of its work responsibilities and assessment rewards and punishments. The system of exchange of official documents between departments has also been clearly implemented, and the staff have not

Being laid off actually increased the salary, so the work efficiency of the entire three provinces and six departments did not decrease.

Zhao Xu's edict was suspected of blaming someone else, because after the restructuring, the biggest bottleneck was him.

There were a lot of jokes during the initial run-in, and the restructuring exposed many old problems accumulated in the past, which now need to be sorted out again. The three provinces have to operate while repaying old debts.

Su You was actually the initiator of the restructuring. Although this work had nothing to do with him anymore, he was the first to tell Zhao Xu about the idea.

I have already been vaccinated with Zhao Xu. The new machine tool is running, and there will be a running-in period between each workpiece, so don't expect to do a lot of work when you get up, and don't assign big jobs.

Now we need to be stable. If we don’t lose, we will win.

After running in, it’s time to take on the heavy lifting to improve efficiency.
