Responsibility four "Don't you think of him as Song Rui?"
Lu Xiufu asked in surprise, as if he had just been given a slap in the face, with a look of realization mixed with confusion.
The current Wen Tianxiang's performance was indeed very different from the Wen Tianxiang he knew well.
With the growth and development of the Polu Army and the Fujian Governor's Office, Lu Xiufu's feeling of strangeness increased every time he saw Wen Tianxiang.
Lu Xiufu, who adheres to the ancient motto "Stop talking about monsters and force to confuse gods", even suspected more than once that after the Battle of Kongkeng, Wen Tianxiang was dead, and it was another person who resurrected his body and took over the body of his good friend.
But the indomitable stubbornness shown by the two Wen Tianxiangs before and after convinced him that the Wen Tianxiang of today was the Wen Tianxiang of back then.
Although the current Wen Tianxiang's methods and principles are far from those of Song Rui back then.
But in their speech and behavior, Lu Xiufu could clearly feel their sincere feelings for the country and the people.
It was a kind of strong and deep love.
Although the expression before and after was different, it was still admirable and touching.
It was precisely because he felt Wen Tianxiang's deep feelings for this country and this nation that Lu Xiufu repeatedly came forward to speak for Wen Tianxiang and wave the flag for the Polu army.
Although most of the time, Wen Tianxiang's actions made him angry, but this anger was more of "anger without fighting" after disappointment rather than deep hatred.
"You can regard him as a madman or a saint, but you cannot regard him as the original Song Rui," Deng Guangjian said in a low voice while stroking the beautifully printed books.
"This is the first step.
Only after this step can you calmly consider the original intention of what he did.
Only then can the principles Deng learned come in handy."
"I would like to be taught."
Lu Xiufu took half a step back and respectfully gave Deng Guangjian a big gift.
The angry mood gradually calmed down.
In the chaotic and complicated thoughts, with a few words of guidance from Deng Guangjian, some light came out.
"Actually, it was Miao Chun who reminded Deng of going to Fuzhou to read books."
Deng Guangjian smiled, received a bow from Lu Xiufu, and continued: "Sir, do you remember that on the ship that day, Miao Chun scolded several ministers and Official language" "Of course I remember, otherwise, we won't be able to make the decision to let the imperial court temporarily stay in Liuqiu."
Mrs.
Lu Xiu replied thoughtfully.
The past is like smoke.
From the current perspective, the decision to choose to go to Liuqiu was a big mistake.
I thought that when they arrived at Liuqiu, Xingchao could quickly establish a controllable force to restrain the Polu army.
Who would have thought that the Su family in Liuqiu was not such an easy-to-get-together master.
They seemed to be respectful to the court, but they refused to give in when it came to disputes over fundamental power.
This made several important ministers who were too optimistic about the situation in advance feel like sitting in a cage, living like a year.
But what made Lu Xiufu and others make the choice to go to Liuqiu that day was just Miao Chun's harsh words.
The cause of the matter lies in the person of Sti Wenxu, a native of Lorenzo.
When the sea calmed down, the alien barbarian handed over the navigation work to his assistant and went to the deck to rest.
It happened that the young emperor Zhao Bing was also walking on the deck.
Both parties were very curious about each other's identities and couldn't help but chat.
During the conversation, Stephenson "bragged" about his ancestors, believing that the Roman Empire was as great a country as any in China.
Its level of wealth and political clarity are, in some aspects, far superior to those of the Central Plains Dynasty.
Originally, this kind of behavior of using the achievements of ancestors to put gold on one's face is like a married daughter who always praises her natal family by outsiders.
It is not worthy of being recognized by everyone.
No one who travels out will brag about his hometown in front of strangers.
But several officials on the ship and the old eunuchs in the harem didn't think so.
They feel that a country whose name is even called a mule or horse country must be a foreign barbarian.
I have never seen the prosperity of the Celestial Empire, so I hide in an unknown corner and become arrogant.
As a result, after chatting for a while, the conversation turned into arguments.
Several eunuchs and officials kept comparing the prosperity, products, and even the miraculous skills of the Central Plains with the "mules and horses" blown by Stephen Wen.

Not to be outdone, Sidi Wenxuan cited scriptures and believed that what the literati said about the prosperous times in ancient times and the coming of all nations were nothing but nonsense.
Most of the stories about Yu’s travels to Kyushu are fabricated.
That Dayu probably never even set foot on the edge of the sea.
In the end, the debate escalated to the understanding of heaven and earth.
Scholars believed that the sky was round and the earth was round, and that the Song Dynasty was the center of the world.
However, Stephen King relied on his many years of sailing experience and said that the earth is round and the sky is like an egg white surrounding an egg yolk.
He also said that this is common sense in many countries.
Only officials like the Song Dynasty who stayed at home still clung to the theory of a round sky and a round earth.
Drinker's Note: The sky and the earth are like egg yolks, which is a geographical inference that has been summarized in the Yuan Dynasty.
There are special records in Yuan history.
Several officials became angry and reprimanded Sidiwen and others for violating the ancient sage.
Miao Chun was asked to show his courage by "Master Killing Shaozheng Mao" and throw Stiwen Xiu off the boat.
How could Miao Chun be willing to throw this living chart off the ship and ignore everyone's requests?
Several bold officials and eunuchs began to impeach Miao Chun again, and gradually targeted the Polu Army and Wen Tianxiang.
Miao Chun was so angry that he couldn't bear it and cursed in front of all the ministers and the young emperor: "You self-righteous guys always think that you know everything and no one in the world is smarter than you.
You are just a rotten toad sitting at the mouth of a well.
The sound of croaking is quite loud, but I don’t have the courage to climb to the mouth of the well to take a look.”
At that time, among the people watching the excitement coldly was the imperial master Deng Guangjian.
Unlike everyone's indignant behavior afterwards, he calmly analyzed Miao Chun's point of view.
I think that although the scolding was harsh, it really hit the sore spot of some self-righteous officials.
Afterwards, he carefully observed Miao Chun's actions and discovered that this seemingly rough martial artist was actually silently influencing the young emperor's view of the outside world through various opportunities.
"Although Miao Chun's curse words that day were crude, if you think about it carefully, they are not without merit.
Over the past two hundred years since the founding of the Song Dynasty, external opponents and internal situations have changed.
However, the scholar-officials still cling to half a book.
If the Analects of Confucius persists, it is inevitable that the Mongols will cause chaos in China today."
Deng Guangjian sighed and concluded, "In fact, there is more than one way to rejuvenate the country, since Mr.
Wen insists on taking one.
If we have different paths in the past, we might as well calm down and take a look at his reasons and plans.
Even if we don't agree with him, we can at least understand what he wants to do.
Only by knowing ourselves and the enemy can we get him back on the right path.
If we want to part ways or even fight each other with swords, it will only make the Mongols enjoy themselves.
Besides, Lord He Wen has no money to part ways or use swords at the moment."
"Lu is willing to hear the details," Lu Xiufu nodded frequently and replied solemnly.
The thought of completely breaking with the Polu army, or unexpectedly killing Wen Tianxiang and seizing his military power, was not something that no one in the imperial court ever thought of.
But Deng Guangjian's last sentence was right.
At present, the government did not have the capital to break with the Polu army.
If Wen Tianxiang is really eliminated or forced to rebel, I am afraid that not only the Polu army, but also the Liuqiu Su family, the Hai Fang family, the Fujian Chen family, and the Zhang family who sell private salt will immediately fall out with the court.
Without strong land power, no maritime support, and no funds from Fujian merchants and smuggling merchants, the court in front of the Mongols may not be able to support it for a month.
"In addition to manuscripts of ancient classics, Deng brought back a total of twenty-six kinds of books of various colors in the library.
Some of them were translated from the Great Cannibal, and some were temporarily compiled by people hired by the Governor's Office for the purpose of running the school.
Although many books are crudely written and cannot be compared with the writings of ancient sages and sages, they can give us a glimpse of the New Deal, but they are You can get a glimpse of it."
Deng Guangjian picked up the business book closest to him, opened a few pages, pointed to the text on it and said: "This book is just a summary of the experience of various firms, mixed with some new styles.
There are not many tricks to accounting methods, but there are a few sentences that are very classic.
Please read it, Mr.
Lu."

Lu Xiufu followed Deng Guang's recommendation and saw that in an article discussing the amount of money and the distribution of interests, someone used charcoal to accentuate a few vulgar sentences, "If you make money, don't pay for it.
Those who have conflicting interests." , take it for granted.”
Although Lu Xiufu had always looked down on businessmen, he had a photographic memory.
I read a few sentences over and over again, and thought of the discount Wen Tianxiang gave to Naiyan Messenger today, and I felt like I had some enlightenment.
"Today, Prime Minister Wen gave a high discount to the envoy of Naiyan.
In the eyes of people like you and me who are not familiar with business, it is a loss.
If we look at it in the words of this book, as long as Naiyan remains undefeated, Fujian and Liaodong will lose money."
The business can continue, and although the profit will be thin, it will continue to flow.
It is better than watching them be defeated by Kublai Khan, and everyone will have no business.
Naiyan asked for a price reduction.
On this point, the interests of the Liaodong tribes are contrary to mine. but" "But it is the common interest of both parties to let Naiyan persevere.
If there is injustice in the north, the Yuan army will not have the strength to go south again," Lu Xiufu interrupted Deng Guangjian's words and said loudly.
Looking at the problem from another angle, things suddenly become clearer.
From the perspective of the long-term interests of the Song Dynasty, not only the discount given to Naiyan at this moment is reasonable, but even giving armor and weapons to Naiyan for free will be beneficial to the Song Dynasty.
"Mr.
Lu, look at this page again, about the discussion of the contract.
Both parties entering into the contract must treat each other as equals.
Even between father and son, or brothers, when making a contract, there is no relationship of superiority and inferiority.
Only in this way will the contract be recognized by both parties.
Only by voluntarily accepting it can we maintain it for a long time."
Deng Guangjian turned to another page and pointed to the words above.
"This sentence sounds rebellious at first, but this is the principle when it comes to contracts in the market.
The key here is long-term.
If one party uses his identity to pressure the other party to sign a contract, as long as the subdued party has a chance, I just want to break the contract, but the outcome may not be good for both parties."
Deng Guangjian talked eloquently and taught him everything he had learned from reading books in recent days.
He read more than 20 books on business, Yuxue, art of war, and investigation of things, as well as a pile of newspapers published publicly on Fujian Road in the past two years, from the first to the latest.
We don't stick to the details and right or wrong, but we condition the new concepts contained in it one by one and judge it against the various performances of Fujian's New Deal.
Before I knew it, it was time to hold the lantern.
Deng Guangjian put down the last stack of newspapers and concluded: "In Deng's opinion, the New Deal implemented by Mr.
Wen can be summed up in eight words: equality, contract, rights, and obligations.
It is not intended to be new or innovative, but to use it as a basis." foundation, to expel the Tartars and rebuild China.
Although it is incompatible with the way of the saints, the ultimate goal is no different from what we are planning, which is to make the country strong and the people rich.
Moreover, apart from those eight words, the New Deal has a heavy meaning of business, and there is no business school. , but always take mutual benefit and compromise as the highest principles.”
"Mutual benefit and compromise" Lu Xiufu repeatedly chewed Deng Guangjian's words.
Reconstruct China based on equality and contract.
Respect contracts, not rank and order.
The fundamental principle that the state has the obligation to protect every citizen's legitimate rights from being infringed cannot be integrated with the way of the saint.
But at present, driving the Mongols out of Jiangnan is the common goal of the imperial court and the Fujian Governor's Office.
It is in line with the principle of mutual benefit, so both sides have the opportunity to compromise with each other.
Is that so?
He felt very confused in his heart.
The relationship between the emperor and his ministers was no longer an absolute one of subordination and dominance, but like a shopkeeper and a boy, they signed an employment contract.
And because of the existence of a contract between the country and the people, we share weal and woe.
On the other hand, every man is responsible for the rise and fall of a country.
There are also demands and constraints for every man's blessings and misfortunes, and the country is responsible for them.

He cannot accept these things.
But there is no point in writing a long article to refute it.
Now the initiative is in Wen Tianxiang's hands.
As long as he decides to do something, even if the court issues an order to block it, it will have no effect.
All he could do at the moment was to find a way to make Wen Tianxiang not take the pace of innovation too far for the common interests of the Polu Army and the imperial court.
I saw clearly the essence hidden behind the New Deal, and also understood what Wen Tianxiang wanted.
Lu Xiufu suddenly realized that he didn't have many chips to exchange with Wen Tianxiang.
In other words, the price that he could induce Wen Tianxiang to compromise was not enough.
Tacitly allowing Wen Tianxiang to become a powerful minister is the highest bottom line the court can give.
But after the Battle of Guangnan, Wen Tianxiang was actually the powerful prime minister of the Song Dynasty.
Whether the court recognized it or not, it didn't help matters.
Even if the former prime minister Chen Yizhong returns from Annan now, this former prime minister who is good at strategizing will not be able to control the Polu army, and he will not be able to make various departments in Fujian obey orders.
"Prime Minister Lu feels that he doesn't have enough cards in his hand," Deng Guangjian asked tentatively, seeing Lu Xiufu's expressions of excitement and sadness at times.
"Isn't that enough?
Lu regrets not seeing today sooner," Lu Xiufu replied angrily.
If he had known that Wen Tianxiang had already deviated from the Tao in his heart, he really shouldn't have said so many nice things to him during his court visit.
"Actually, there was nothing wrong with what Mr.
Lu did in the past.
Several ministers in the court were loyal, but their actions only deepened the gap between the court and the Governor's Mansion.
And in the past, Mr.
Lu always protected the Polu Army.
It is exactly the basis for the compromise between the two sides at this moment."
Deng Guangjian said with a smile, "Have you ever heard that in the Fujian election two years ago, it was common among the people and scholars to bow to each other and give in.
There are many people with loftier ambitions than Xu You and Wuguang in ancient times."
"That's because the Polu Army only controlled a small half of Fujian at that time, and its future was unclear, so no one wanted to step forward to serve as this official."
Thinking of the soldiers who were forcibly recruited by Chen Longfu back then, Lu Xiufu smiled bitterly and shook his head.
He said, "It can't be done now.
Although Fujian is suffering from the plague, its foundation has been laid and its future is bright.
There are many people who want to be famous ministers of ZTE.
These days, there are secret activities, vote bribery and other evil deeds exposed in newspapers.
"More than ten years old" "Look, people who have not contributed even half of their efforts to the development of the Governor's Mansion to this day still want to get an official position from it.
Those soldiers of the Polu Army, and those servants of the Governor's Mansion who have followed Master Wen all the way, don't want to fight for their interests?
What should I do if there is not enough time sharing?
The end result is still a compromise, adults only You have to stoop down and be a bad person, bargain with the Minister of Literature, and then get a share of the pie for the disciples of saints in the world.
As long as there are enough positions for scholars in the governor's palace, there is still a debate on how the New Deal will develop in the future.
There are some compromises," Deng Guangjian said with a smile, stroking his hands.
This is a good strategy that he finally came up with after reading a lot of books.
With the strength of Lu Xiufu and others, Wen Tianxiang could not stop Wen Tianxiang from going further and further on the side road.
But relying on the power of everyone to believe in a principle is one thing, but the final result is another.
In history, there are many people who preached the words of Yao and Shun and practiced the deeds of Jie and Zhou.
In the future, there will be many people who talk about the equality and contract advocated by Wen Tianxiang, but always feel that they are superior to others and consciously protect the inferiority of elders and younger ones.
As long as everyone doesn't use the knife and takes it step by step, what the Song Dynasty will look like after the final revival is really worth looking forward to.
"Master Deng is so despicable," Lu Xiufu spat on the ground and laughed.
He fully understood Deng Guangjian's trick, which was to let him argue with Wen Tianxiang as usual to prevent the key to the New Deal, the further implementation of elections.
In fact, prepare a compromise plan in your heart and avoid losing face at all costs.

The principle of the New Deal is conformity and the compromise of various interests.
In the end, due to the strong opposition from everyone within the Polu Army, the Metropolitan Governor's Office, and the imperial court represented by himself, as a hero who could lead the Polu Army to this point, Wen Tianxiang naturally knew how to make appropriate concessions.
The result of the concession was that some of Wen Tianxiang's ideas were implemented, and the traditions of the Song Dynasty, the interests of the court, and the interests of everyone in the capital would also be taken into account.
As to whether the result of this compromise, like the spoils-sharing plan, is more in line with tradition or the ideals of equality and contract that Wen Tianxiang insists on, only God knows.
Thinking of this, Lu Xiufu felt that all the worries in his heart were gone, and the sky outside became a little bluer.
The sky outside the window was sunny, with a few rain clouds rolling over the sea.
The ever-changing weather cannot keep up with people's thoughts
