Changfeng Thousands of Miles End Han Song

Chapter 732 Everything is ready, I only owe Dongfeng

In the official history, after the Jin soldiers went south and swept the Central Plains, the contemporary Yansheng Gong Kong Duanyou and his nephew Kong Jie fled south with the Song Dynasty because he had no children.Kong Jie was the eldest son of his younger brother Kong Duanchao.Most of the other members of the Kong family stayed in their hometown.At the signal of the Hou Jurchens, Liu Yu of the puppet Qi named Kong Bo, the second son of Kong Duanchao, the younger brother of Kong Duanyou, as "Yan Shenggong" and presided over the sacrifices in the Confucius Temple.

That Kong Duanchao is a lucky man, and his two sons, one from the south and the other from the north, are both rich and prosperous.

Emperor Lu didn't know about this.Otherwise, he would definitely not seal Kong Duanchao as a sacrificial official.But this guy's bones are really soft.

The predicament that the Kong family is facing now is that the entire clan cannot sustain itself, not that his family cannot sustain life.The salaries of officials in the Lu Qi Dynasty were still quite high. Relying on their salaries, even if they could not maintain the same life as before, at least their families had no worries about food and clothing.

In other words, even if the entire Kong clan is completely scattered, Kong Duanchao's life can still be guaranteed.

And it's not that the rest of the Kong family can only become beggars if they leave him, Kong Duanchao.

As I said before, the education level of the near branch of the Kong family is still high. All of these people can read and write, and many of them have been taking care of the common affairs of the Kong family in the past, and many of them have even been helping with the work. Li Xianyuan County's government affairs.These people are naturally close branches of the Kong family, or loyal younger brothers of the direct line of the Kong family. If they really want to come out and ask for food, it is really not difficult.

But this also means the downfall of the Kong family's direct lineage.The family's wings and helpers are 'cut off', how can he take off?
Kong Duanchao is very aware of this point. Without the help of the family, their Kong family lineage will really sink completely.Because he knows that none of his sons are really talented, and even a few older grandsons have no hope.Keeping the idle position of a sacrificial official can only guarantee Kong's place in Yanzhou, even if he can crown Yanzhou, he can't, and he doesn't even think about revival of the family business.

Therefore, he chose to obey the will of above.

What Emperor Lu meant was very bad, at least for Kong Jiayan, it was very bad.After it is publicized, it will cause the whole Chinese society to have a sense of fear and subversion.

But Kong Duanchao knew that this was his only choice!Because he didn't want to 'family sink'.

If no one came to force him with a knife, he could choose to "play it safe", as long as he sticks to his integrity, Emperor Lu's goal will inevitably shift.Isn't it the only branch of the huge Kong family that can be called the direct line?Not to mention his elder brother, he has many cousins.

But Kong Duanchao did not.Between the decline of 'Lawless' and the revival of 'Notorious', he chose the latter without hesitation.

Of course, such a choice would not have been possible without the reason that Kong Duanchao was afraid that Emperor Lu would make a list afterwards.

Anyway, this is Kong Duanchao's choice, no matter what the reason is.

It was his own choice, choosing to use the reputation of his family ancestor to fight for the future.

Emperor Lu's meaning is very clear. This is a huge plan, and the Kong family is only a part of it.Although it is necessary to do this "one link" well and beautifully, it is not something that only Kong Duanchao can do.He also needs the help of his clansmen, that is, the loyal younger brothers of the close and direct line of the Kong family who are going to go to the end of the mountain.These people have persisted until now, and they can no longer persist.

Each of them has an acre of land. Emperor Lu raided Kong's family and purged the perpetrators, but the rest of the Kong clan should be treated equally, right?Others have leased land, so naturally the Kong family also has leased land.But God is pitiful, those who have vested interests in the Kong family, when did they personally go to the fields to cultivate?Therefore, the good fertile land can only be leased out in their hands. How can it do anything by only collecting rent?

The leased land allocated to each of the Confucian family is for them to be self-cultivated farmers, but not for them to be small landlords.

In this way, the money and food of the Kong clan became increasingly scarce, and it was also because of this that the population of the Kong clan decreased day by day.

After all, few people would rather starve to death than give up persistence at this time.It is very rare for Boyi and Shuqi not to eat Zhou Li.At least such a man of integrity cannot be seen in the Kong family.

The Kong family first forged enmity with the Liangshan army because of their "anti-social" style in Liangshanpo, instigated local tyrants, and personally went into battle to organize civilian bravery, and cooperated with the Song army to fight Liangshanbo as an enemy.Therefore, it seemed logical that Emperor Lu would attack the Kong family after capturing Yanzhou.

It's just that the Kong family, blessed with the 'saint halo', never expected that Emperor Lu's methods would be so ruthless.

After being knocked down from the clouds into the mud, it would be impossible for the Kong family to say that there was no hostility towards Lu Qi in their hearts.

Anyway, Emperor Lu did not follow up. Even the 'hint' to Kong Duanchao was after the situation had been completely stabilized recently, and the objective conditions were all met. Emperor Lu just instructed Yan'an Security Department to do it.

If Kong Duanchao took the bait, he had already paved the way for the Kong family.And if Kong Duanchao didn't take the bait, Emperor Lu wouldn't force the bull's head to stop drinking water.

Kong Duanchao is not an idiot either, if he had no certainty, how could he make up his mind so happily?Although the road paved by Emperor Lu was a road that lost face to the Kong family, and could even be said to make the Kong family cut off from being a "scholar", at least one thing is the money that can be seen with the naked eye.

Lu Qian wanted Kong's family to exchange 'fame' for money.

If they don't change, then start from the side branches, which can damage the reputation of Kong's name, even if it takes more time, it won't be thorough now.

But if it is changed, the Kong family will have the psychological preparation to transform into a "business family".This is to change the court!
The Kong family was able to obtain wealth, thereby maintaining the existence of the clan.But you will also lose your most precious things.

Two roads, one to the left, one to the right, what choice?It's simple and straightforward.

"Da Qi is now the sun rising in the east, and we have to wait until the evening and sunset..." Even if Zhao Song died so early, it would take 60 or 60 years.In [-], their grandson's grandson could see it.What's more, this time period is still a hypothesis.

Kong Duanli smiled bleakly. If he really had to wait 300 years, how much of the Kong family's reputation would be left after 300 years?Moreover, the new government wants to win the hearts of scholars, and treat Kong family favorably, and they have long since lost sight of it.At least his descendants of Kong Duanli have long been estranged from the Kong family.Under the circumstances that the children of the Kong family could hardly get ahead in the officialdom, his branch must have "killed everyone".At that time, the benefits of the Kong family will not fall on his descendants.

Although doing this is not good for the ancestors, but he is willing to exchange the reputation of the ancestors for money, at least this will allow their branch to better benefit from the ancestors' grace.

One of the other branches counts as one, and they all think so.In this way, the group of unworthy descendants of Old Master Kong completely made him a 'relative' with Brother Kong Fang.

"Then, let's go to Yidu." Kong Duanchao closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, they were all determined.

On the way back to Yidu from Dengzhou, Emperor Lu received a message from the Security Department.

"Hahaha..." He laughed happily.

Dalibo felt the joy of Emperor Lu. She felt that Li Jun's victory did not make Emperor Lu so happy, that is, it was comparable to the time when King Koryo presented the table.

But she knew that as a person in the harem, it was better not to ask about matters outside the court.

The first dynasty of Lu Qi was very different from Zhao Song and Khitan.In Zhao and Song Dynasties, Empress Zhangxian Liu E, who dominated the government, and Gao Taotao, who was praised by the old party as "Yao and Shun among women", were even more famous.When the emperor was in power, although the harem's interference in politics was not blatant, it was by no means non-existent.

And what about Lu Qiyi Dynasty?It seems that Emperor Lu even the harem is balancing the court situation, but in reality, several concubines are all counted, and no one is rushing to squeak on the government affairs of the outer court.

Dalibo saw all this clearly when he came to Yiwudu.Fang Jinzhi, Cheng Wan'er, Hu Sanniang, and Wu Qiongying all seem to have a lot of strength behind them, but the fact is that they are like the back house girls of the Han people, and they never ask about the affairs of the front court.

Lu Qian didn't explain too much to Da Libo, everything should wait until the results are revealed naturally.He has paved the way for the Kong family!

Organize ball games, tickets, shops around the venue, and even bet on dubo.

When I was in Tokyo in the past, things like this were almost normal. Didn't Gao Lian make a living by playing football?Because most people in the Song Dynasty were addicted to gambling.What Qiyun Society did in the past, that is what Emperor Lu asked the Kong family to do now, to do it in person, and it was more formal.

As long as one has the ability to control the situation, and the government agrees and cooperates, doing this kind of business is wealth that can be seen by the naked eye.

Emperor Lu had a clue about this.

This ball game and Marseille can be completely combined, and the track is left around the stadium, which can be used for both games.It couldn't be more suitable!

Moreover, such events can not only make money, but also help citizens entertain and enrich people's lives.It can also promote the improvement of horse breeds in China, and most importantly, the latter can give birth to horse clubs.

It seems to be a sports organization, but it is actually a super conference that gathers celebrities from all walks of life.Leaving this aside, let’s talk about horse breed improvement first.

The gap between eastern and western horses, although there is now, but it is far from an insurmountable gap.Emperor Lu has already started to set up a state-run horse breeding farm, but he hopes that the people and powerful families can also form this kind of atmosphere.

It's not that he expects the rich and powerful families in China to produce thoroughbred horses like the British in later generations.

Emperor Lu didn't like thoroughbred horses at all. This kind of extremely delicate horse was a charming elf on the field, but it was a complete waste on the battlefield.

But this kind of ethos is excellent, at least it can make all walks of life understand - the importance of horse breeds and improvement.

In fact, all visionaries are doing this kind of thing. When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty asked Li Guangli to conquer Dawan and seize the Tianma—the sweat and blood horse, the biggest purpose was not to satisfy personal hobbies, but to improve the horse breed.It's just that the genes of the blood-sweat horses were eventually submerged in a large number of Mongolian horses.Of course, this is also due to the fact that although the sweat horse is fast, its skeleton is slender, and its load is light.

However, the improvement of horse breeds in the heyday of Tang Dynasty was very effective.According to historical records, as many as 44 foreign horse breeds were only introduced in the Tang Dynasty. The horse seal system (also called the horse record) of the Tang Dynasty was used for reference when the horse breeds of later generations were improved. The system implemented in the emperor's horse breed improvement site is also the horse seal system.It's just that there are not so many types of stallions in the racecourse.

This time is still too short.

Not to mention the introduction of a large number of war horses, even the sheep ordered by Emperor Lu could not find a suitable one.There's still time for this kind of thing.But everything is ready for the ball game and Marseille, only the east wind is owed.

Lu Qian just wanted to laugh when he thought of the Confucian family, who was respected by countless scholars, and suddenly started a business that smelled like money.

Scholars, farmers, businessmen, and scholars regard businessmen as the bottom of the four peoples, and they regard them as lowly businesses, but now the sons of the saints have started their business with great fanfare, and even started to deal with gambling. I don’t know how subversive it will be when the news spreads. .

Maybe it will really embarrass the scholars, right?
Lu Qian was still looking forward to that day.
