Now that the documents are full of official documents, there are still so many seemingly irrelevant memorials to be processed and replied. Zhao Bing's "workload" has increased greatly. He can be said to have been to eat and sleep every day, which also makes people around him feel distressed, but he is very puzzled. Because these memorials are not sent directly to the palace from the Secretariat, which means that they are contrary to the system of memorials submitted by the Song Dynasty. In this way, they have to be played in every detail, which seems more like the little emperor causing trouble to himself.

However, the problem was really caused by Zhao Bing. When he first arrived at this era, he caught up with this world chaos. With his cleverness and special status, he formed a team and fled to Qiongzhou. Although there were senior intellectuals like Ying Jieyan, Jiang Yan, Deng Guangjian, Chen Zeweng who were born in Jinshi, there were also small officials such as Cai Wanyi, Cai Qiao, Huang Xianyao, and Zhuang Siqi, and more were from military and grassroots and lower-class society.

In modern terms, the team is relatively complex, the overall quality is not high, especially the cultural level is generally low. However, it had no impact at the beginning. At that time, there was a small number of people and everyone lived in the same place. No matter what matters were discussed in court or private discussion, there was basically no need to start writing. Even if the writing was simple and clear, it was just a matter of lack of consideration in words and looked unelegant.

However, as the team grew, especially Zhao Bing inherited the throne and moved to Qiongzhou. After Dingfucheng, he also moved into the palace. In this way, everyone had fewer opportunities to meet, and everything became formal, and the official documents had to be customized according to the old times. The cultural quality of the officials who moved there was much higher than that of the general's mansion, and they had more official experience. This was not a problem for them, but it would be a loss to the general's mansion!

According to the rules of the memorials of the Song Dynasty, the ministers must comply with the writing requirements of "memorials are suitable for elegance", that is, they must comply with the moral concepts of the Three Bonds and Five Constant Ones and the standard of elegance and correct language. Therefore, the authors of official documents should quote more classics to show that what they said has been said since ancient times and is in line with the Taoist tradition. At least they can ensure that they are not out of standard, not out of style, and are not easily criticized or refuted.

At the same time, when writing documents of persuasion, we often quote ancient sayings to show that our views are within the framework of the Taoist system and conform to the "Big Way". This will prevent the monarch from being offended and is a good way to be gentle but not violate it. In the long run, a system will be formed, just like the highest instruction. The beginning of the article must be quoted by the saint, otherwise it will not be written.

In addition, the literati of the Song Dynasty praised the ancients and liked to quote the language in ancient scriptures to explain the current problems and argue their own views. This is undoubtedly more convincing. Your ability and knowledge cannot surpass the sages, making you unable to refute it. And the author also quotes classics and supports the past to prove the present. This is a conceptual method that cannot be thought out, and makes the arguments of the article impeccable. Although it is suspected of "kidnapping", it has also achieved the purpose of submitting a memorial.

As a result, the Song Dynasty officialdom formed an inherent literary style, and the official documents quoted a large number of scriptures, almost reaching the level of being necessary for every article. Confucian classics such as "The Analects of Confucius", "Mencius", "The Book of Changes", "The Book of Documents", "The Book of Changes", "The Book of Rites", "The Book of Songs", etc. were repeatedly quoted. They completely abandoned the concise and neat characteristics of using scriptures in the Han Dynasty, liked to quote longer words, and liked to lay out a lot. When explaining the same argument, the cited texts were often repeatedly cited, and at the same time explained the cited texts and interpreted them at will.

In order to make the new, some authors often deliberately quote uncommon sentences of scriptures, which poses a great obstacle to reading official documents. Overall, the use of official documents in the Song Dynasty gave people a sense of cumbersomeness, and also increased the difficulty of understanding official documents. This method of using the classics is significant, which not only harms the meaning of the text, but also hinders the dissemination of official documents.

In Zhao Bing's view, whether in ancient or modern official documents as practical styles, only by writing them in a simple, straightforward and neat manner can it maximize its due role. However, in contrast, the uncontrollable writing method of official documents in the Song Dynasty made official documents lose their inherent value and was not conducive to the effectiveness of official documents.

From a realistic perspective, Zhao Bing's most intuitive feeling is that he can't understand it. He was just a science and engineering man in his previous life, and his writing skills were not high, and he was even more interested in ancient classics. In his opinion, these memorials were like famous works, and their meaning was unfathomable. Therefore, he suddenly came into contact with such a "high-level" thing. In order to prevent misreading, he was completed with the assistance of several teachers at first. After he understood it, his biggest feeling was nonsense.

As big as Zhao Bing, the illiterate and semi-illiterate guys under him were even more confused. At this time, the generals also went to all sides. Even in the capital, because he lived in the palace, it was almost impossible for him to talk together like in the past, so he could only follow the system and submit memorials.

However, the memorial is a formal official document of the state. There are also cumbersome regulations on the procedures, operation relationships, and the fonts they are copied, and violators will be punished. Their writing skills cannot pass the review of the Secretariat, and thus they will be rejected directly and cannot reach his hands. In addition, some words are not convenient to state in the official document.

In this case, Zhao Bing was inconvenient and everyone complained that he realized that this would make things worse. So he issued an order to make the memorial simple and clear, and the writing should be less difficult to understand, but the accumulated habits were difficult to change and it was difficult to achieve results in a short period of time. In addition, the presentation process of the memorial was also very complicated, which seriously affected administrative efficiency. He could only find another way to let the trusted generals submit their words to the imperial front office in the palace, without having to submit them through the Secretariat.

Zhao Bing was helpless in doing this. Such memorials were more like official documents of private messages. There were no certain rules and procedures. They were included in the country's documents, just for the convenience of communication between the monarch and his subjects. After the memorials were sent to the palace, he would reply separately at first, but later he felt that it was too troublesome, so he directly reviewed the reply in the blank space on the original memorial, and then sent back to the memorialist by the sender or post office.

Later, Cai Qiao, the head of the second office of the Imperial Front Office, felt that this was too casual and should copy a copy and file a record for investigation, and then issue it and file a record. Zhao Bing thought about it, so he agreed. So the Imperial Front Office specially formulated a charter for this matter. After the memorial was approved by the red, before the memorial was submitted, the Imperial Front Office would copy a copy as usual for copying and file a record for copying and file a record. Some confidential matters were kept in the palace due to the request of the memorial, or the emperor believed that it was not appropriate to disclose it, so he would keep it in the palace without copying or not giving instructions.

In addition, in order to facilitate transmission and storage, the Imperial Front Office also stipulates the style and presentation procedures of such memorials. In this way, the informal form of documents becomes semi-formal official documents and is called "secret letters" by "people in the circle". Zhao Bing also hopes to use this to understand local situations and information to make up for his own inexplicable shortcomings, and to use this to contact the relationship between the monarch and the ministers.

Later, with the recovery of Jiangnan, people around Zhao Bing gradually spread, and this circle also expanded. These people, regardless of their official position or status, could report through secret messages as long as they obtained his permission. In addition, the content of the secret messages also included more and more. In the early stage, they were just local climate, folk customs, etc. to help the emperor better understand the people's sentiments. Later, it developed to revealing fraud in the officialdom. Now it has developed to those who are concerned about people's livelihood, and all those who are concerned about people's livelihood can be heard. If there is really nothing to say, then just ask for peace and say some "nonsense"!

However, Zhao Bing recently heard an emotion from these nonsense. They thought that when the Song Dynasty occupied Qiongzhou, they had only a few hundred generals, only a hundred thousand soldiers, and insufficient money and food. However, they recovered the entire Jiangnan in just one battle. Now there are more than 300,000 imperial guards alone, and the tax collected every year can reach Qiongzhou for ten years. Now that they have decided to use troops, they cannot fight a limited war, but they will recover the Central Plains in one fell swoop and drive the Mongol Yuan far away from the north.

These words seem to be complaining, but Zhao Bing understands that this kind of emotion is very dangerous, especially these complaints mostly appear among the young civil officials and generals who are "young and strong". They have both low-level officials from old camps and now entered the military and political departments in the court, as well as officers at all levels from the new training camps, civil officials from the general's office, and scholars who had crossed the sea to join the court.

After recapturing Jiangnan, these people joined the company one after another. Although their official positions were not high, they had become the backbone of the military and administrative system. Their thoughts were influenced by Zhao Bing, hoping to eliminate bad policies, enrich the country and strengthen the army, avenge the previous shame, and establish an empire that surpassed the Han and Tang Dynasties. It can be said that their thoughts are relatively radical, they are also very enthusiastic and enterprising in their work. They are also loyal supporters of Zhao Bing, and will be his supporters for achieving his goals in the future.

But Zhao Bing felt that this kind of thought was very dangerous at this moment, because based on his previous experience, a world power was not "fighted" but "suffered". In his previous life, it was also a period when national strength was rising and national pride was increasing. At that time, there was a saying on the Internet that successful big powers were all "fighted", such as mg won World War I and World War II, and then became a world power. As long as China dared to fight to the death and was not afraid of sacrifice, it would kill FLB first, then find an opportunity to kill RB, and finally kill mg, and overwhelm the Els, and then China would become a new world power.

At that time, Zhao Bing was also a fan of this kind of thought. He also learned to build ships because he had the dream of a great country. He thought that one day the warships he participated in the design and manufacture could roam all oceans and suppress all countries. But when he really became the ruler of a country, he understood a truth that if he did this, he would die miserably.

As a nationalist, Zhao Bing certainly did not develop others' ambition to destroy his own prestige, but because of his different position, he could re-examine historical facts and see the other side of history. He concluded that all the rising powers that were attempted to achieve success by "fighting" were basically destroyed.

Looking back on the world history of the past few hundred years in the past, some countries had a strong rise at first, but the ending was often bruised and swollen. During the Napoleon era, Napoleon attempted to use his army to further expand his sphere of influence and influence in Europe to collided fiercely with Britain. Britain organized six anti-French alliances for this purpose, and finally defeated Napoleon in the Battle of Waterloo. Britain maintained its status as the leader. France had been depressed since the 19th century and became a second-rate country throughout the century.

By the mid-19th century, Russian power developed and the conflict with Britain rose, which eventually led to the outbreak of the Crimean War, and Russia was defeated. Germany rose to prominence at the end of the 19th century, and Britain began to restrict Germany in various ways. As a result, World War I broke out, Germany was defeated, and cede land and pay compensation. After World War II, both the United States and the Soviet Union were eager to be world hegemons, and each organized their own spheres of influence and military groups. The United States formed NATO and the Soviet Union organized the Warsaw Pact. The two fought a fierce Cold War that lasted for 44 years, and the Soviet Union collapsed and the United States won.

Looking back on the history of the modern world, only two countries have achieved success, one is Britain and the other is the United States. After gaining independence, the United States has been recuperating and developing itself. It was not until the time of Theodore Roosevelt in the early 20th century that it began to develop the Ocean Navy. No matter how the war in Europe develops its economy on its own.

It was not until the end of World War I that it joined the Allies to fight Germany. After the victory of the war, it quickly withdrew its troops back to the United States and continued to develop. It was not until Japan attacked Pearl Harbor that the United States directly sent troops to be involved in the European War, joined World War II, defeated Germany, Italy and Japan, and finally became the new overlord of the world.

Looking back on this history, we can clearly see that in the past 160 years, the United States has basically not experienced serious war damage. They are all developing. Although there are short-term conflicts and wars, its main energy is still to develop the economy and enhance its strength. Therefore, looking at the rise and fall of a country is like a tide, ups and downs. For a rising power, its upward momentum today does not mean that it will last forever; when a country begins to rise, the international risks and the pressure of challenges it faces continues to expand.

In this era when Zhao Bing lived, the same drama was also being staged. First, the Khitan was the Great Song Dynasty, and the Great Song Dynasty dominated East Asia. As a result, the Jurchens rose, the Khitans destroyed their country, and the Great Song Dynasty retreated to the south of the Yangtze River. After winning the overlord, the Jurchens lasted for only a hundred years before being destroyed by Mongolia. The once glorious Song Dynasty also came to the end of history. The Mongolian and Yuan dynasties also established a super empire spanning the two continents of Eurasia, and no country could surpass its achievements until modern times.
