Chapter 1634 Blue is better than blue(1/2)
The child is making a fuss, and the father is holding him around the courtyard. Many fathers have memories of this scene, but most of them are women holding the child around.
In this era, it is a common practice for men to make money and women to keep their housekeepers. Chen An's behavior of squatting at home and taking care of children seems a bit strange to the world.
"What's wrong with the kid?"
Wen Yanbo walked over, Chen An looked up and smiled bitterly: "When his mother was at home, she hugged Wujie. As soon as his mother went out, she couldn't coax her. This child was a personal sperm."
Wen Yanbo frowned and looked at it, "This child is not young anymore. You throw him down and let him play by himself. If your parents are not around, it will be fine in a while."
Um?
Chen An glanced at Wen Yanbo, and the choked edible in his arms also looked at Wen Yanbo.
"Try it." Wen Yanbo nodded.
Chen An called Zhao Wuwu and handed him over the edamame. Then, listening to the choked voice, he talked to Wen Yanbo.
"Why are you unwilling to let the navy build sea ships?" Wen Yanbo felt that Chen An's move was suspected of being favored. "The navy has many benefits to building sea ships, and can supplement the cost of warships, which will be of great benefit to the country and the people."
"Can the navy build a sea ship benefit the country and the people? Can you think about it? If the navy's shipyard also takes over the business of sea ships, ten years later, twenty years later, someone dares to assert that the warships and sea ships of the Song Dynasty will make slow progress, and will even get worse and worse."
"Why?" Wen Yanbo frowned and said, "Don't exaggerate. Although I oppose the new policy, I will not be biased."
Chen An glanced at him, "If it weren't for this... Celebrity Wen wouldn't have entered the Shen family's door today!"
"Well, I'm still a little bit of face?" Wen Yanbo smiled and said, "If someone is waiting for someone to come, what do you want?"
"Close the door and let the dog go!"
"Huahua..."
The edamame over there was still choking, but it looked much better. When Chen An said to let the dog go, he shouted.
With a whoosh, Huahua ran from the backyard. After arriving, it stared at Wen Yanbo, with doubts in the dog's eyes.
"Huahua!" Maodou waved his hand, and Huahua slowly passed by, but still looked at Wen Yanbo from time to time.
Maodou hugged Huahua's neck and leaned his head up to rub it.
Chen An felt soft-hearted when he saw it, "Can you know why those knowledge has been passed down for thousands of years to this day?"
"The young man said nonsense!" Wen Yanbo said solemnly: "In the past thousand years, many wise men have published what they have never published before, and many writings make people forget to eat and sleep, how can we talk about keeping our feet away?"
"Wen Xiang said that it was published before, so why did you study?"
"Cultivate oneself, manage the family, govern the country, and pacify the world."
This is the goal of many scholars.
"I won't say it before, I will talk about governing the country and pacifying the world. How many years have you been shouting? Is there an appropriate strategy for governing the country?" Chen An said sarcastically: "You are a gentleman, so someone dares to say something, such as half of the Analects of Confucius that year, who ruled the world without knowing the truth or falsehood. If it is true, it is ridiculous. If it is false, then someone wants to use this to encourage the world.
Later, Emperor Zhenzong even used a poem to encourage learning, so that the Song Dynasty would regard knowledge as a door to wealth, so where would there be any charm?"
Wen Yanbo lowered his head and pondered, "Half the Analects of Confucius ruled the world, this is a big mistake. Even if he is a great talent, he must start from scratch as an official."
Lao Wen still has moral integrity, Chen An couldn't help but secretly praise him.
"As for the poems that encourage learning..." Wen Yanbo said calmly: "I cannot comment on the emperor's words."
The emperor takes the lead and tells everyone, brothers, why do you study? For money, for the sake of wealth and prosperity...
Therefore, the moral integrity of the ministers of the Song Dynasty was more strange than that of the other.
When Huizong arrived, the ministers in the court could make people have nightmares, and they were the ones who forced the emperor out of Bianliang City in the end.
From the time of Emperor Zhenzong to digging a hole, many years later, Zhao Ji and his son, as well as thousands of people, plus the decline of the Song Dynasty.
Wen Yanbo nodded and said goodbye.
After returning to the Privy Council, Lu Hui was already waiting for him.
"Wen Xiang, Chen An actually interfered in the navy's shipbuilding. This is unbearable!"
Wen Yanbo is calm in his work, and the opposition needs a leader who is eager for quick success and instant benefits, so Lu Hui repeatedly tried to persuade him to take action, but Wen Yanbo just said nothing.
"Nothing is unbearable."
Wen Yanbo sat down and stretched his body for a while, then said comfortably: "I got what Chen Anbei said today, and this trip is worth it."
Lu Hui said, "That thief is cruel and cunning. How can he have any thoughts?"
Wen Yanbo glanced at him, "Chen An had not pointed out anything at Confucianism before, but today he said something to me. Do you want to know?"
Lu Hui's eyes lit up, "I'll ask for advice..."
"Go and make tea for me." Wen Yanbo lowered his head and began to read the documents.
Make tea?
Lu Hui was stunned, then smiled and said, "It's a blessing for Wen Xiang to make tea!"
Wen Yanbo is seven or eight years older than him, and is still an old senior in the officialdom. Making tea is nothing.
After Lu Hui came to make tea, Wen Yanbo sniffed it, "The heat was not good."
have to!
Lu Hui ran to brew again.
"It's past."
“The water is cold.”
“It’s too hot.”
Lu Hui was so troubled that he almost wanted to get angry, and Wen Yanbo nodded with satisfaction.
"I'm trying to trouble you because you're too anxious!"
Wen Yanbo took a sip of tea and sighed happily, "Chen An said that today's knowledge is in a hurry. I refuted it in person, but I felt the same in my heart. A poem by Emperor Zhenzong that year made the style of learning in the Song Dynasty suddenly change, and everyone is pursuing money and power. What else can this official do?"
"But Emperor Zhenzong is trying to encourage learning, so there will naturally be restrictions on teachers and leaders in the future." Lu Hui did not think this was a problem.
"Teacher-in-chief..." Wen Yanbo smiled, "I have been working in the world for many years and have seen all kinds of people. The hearts of people are hard to describe."
Lu Hui just heyran.
"Go." Wen Yanbo suddenly became a little distracted. "I have read books for my whole life, but I have only a little understanding of the opinions of my ancestors. Recently, I have to study hard behind closed doors."
This is a rejection.
After Lu Hui left, Wen Yanbo called several officials to come.
"I just went to Yulin Lane, and Chen An means... If the navy's shipyard goes as planned, it will get worse and worse in the future."
Chen Xu, deputy envoy of Privy Councillor, said: "Why? The navy was quite satisfied with the warships and praised them at the intersection. What does Chen An mean? Could it be that Gao Yue had a good relationship with him and wanted to build momentum for him?"
Wen Yanbo shook his head, "Chen An... I think it's not such a person. Otherwise... you will change your clothes tomorrow and let's go and take a look."
Chen Xu smiled and said, "A good idea, but if you are impeached for this, you can leave your post without permission, please give me some good words for you."
"It's easy to say."
So on the second day, Wen Yanbo took several big men from the Privy Council and changed into plainclothes, and was led by a minor official who had dealt with both shipyards and went to the navy's shipyard.
The clerk was familiar with him and said that Wen Yanbo and others were here to see the warship and patted their chests as a guarantee. They must not be spies, so the disciple actually put them in.
Chen Xu whispered: "Although the story of the Little Liuying is impossible, it's so careless... my husband, there are warships here! If we are spies, wouldn't we all be seen?"
The story of Xiliu Camp refers to the story of the great general Zhou Yafu stationed troops in Xiliu during the reign of Emperor Wen of Han. Emperor Wen of Han went to inspect and was rejected. Later, most of them were used to refer to strict discipline.
Wen Yanbo nodded with a calm expression.
As we walked in, there were more than ten warships on the boat platform. The craftsmen were slow in their movements, and some even sat on the semi-finished warship for breakfast, looking very leisurely.
“Too lazy!”
Chen Xu frowned and said, "When is this time? I'm still having breakfast."
Everyone wandered around the side without asking.
Working later.
Several men came with a big cart with some wood. A piece of wood fell to the ground and was run over by the big cart's wheels, and then fell into a puddle.
Someone went to pick it up and said, "It will take several days to put it according to the rules, otherwise it will be difficult to put it on if it is wet."
"What are you afraid of!" a man turned around and said, "If you fall in, you will take it out immediately, it's not that particular."
The man who picked up the wooden board shook his head and said, "Forget it, you can see the water marks here, I'm afraid of being scolded."
"Call me is also scolding me, bring it!"
The man shook his head, "I'll change another one."
The men who pulled the wooden boards all laughed and laughed at the man for being timid.
Wen Yanbo still looked calm and moved forward.
After seeing the Navy's shipyard along the way, I went to Gaoyue's shipyard again.
It's very troublesome to get in here, so the door needs to check the identity.
"This is a wealthy merchant who transports goods to the military. I want to try the maritime trade."
