The next morning, at four o'clock, before dawn, Yan Shu came with the imperial physician.
Zhao Jun had just woken up. He hadn't been able to see anything during this period, and he had already developed the biological clock of the Song Dynasty.
After the old doctor performed acupuncture as usual, Yan Shu asked, "Do you want to take off the gauze and have a look today?"
"good."
Zhao Jun also wanted to see how his eyes had recovered.
Although I just took it off and looked at it a few days ago, just like a person who is losing weight wants to weigh himself every day to see if he has lost weight today, a blind person wants to check his eyes every day to see if he is better.
The imperial physician took off the veil and Zhao Jun opened his eyes. It was dark and there was only a single candle in the room. He could not see anything clearly.
"Can you see it?"
Yan Shu asked.
Zhao Jun said, "I can see it, a little better than the past few days, but it's still blurry and unclear. It's too dark."
"It's morning now, it's still dark."
Yan Shu made an excuse and said, "The doctor told you not to take off your veil for at least a month. Even if your eyes are healed, you still need to consolidate them first."
"I see."
Zhao Jun responded. Since it was related to whether his eyes could recover, he had better obey.
He immediately put the veil back on his eyes. All the wounds on his body have now healed and the gauze has been removed. Except for his eyes, other parts of his body are almost healed.
After breakfast, Zhao Jun took a short rest and then started class. Today he continued to teach math and Chinese, teaching division and pinyin.
There are 63 pinyin characters, and the teaching progress is slow. I definitely cannot learn them all in just a few days, so I have to continue.
He planned to continue teaching like this. His eyes would be healed soon, and the road down the mountain would probably be open by then. He would go to the county for a check-up first, and then see when the Education Bureau would arrange a new teacher.
Soon it was ten o'clock in the morning, the day's classes were over, and it was Fan Zhongyan's turn to bring him lunch.
He helped Zhao Jun clean up the wooden boards used for class and the chairs for the students in the room, and brought the food to Zhao Jun. Zhao Jun heard his voice and asked in confusion, "Uncle Nima, where is Uncle Lari?"
"Lajimuzi went to the path to check on the progress of the digging."
Fan Zhongyan used an excuse he had prepared long ago to get away with it. In fact, it was because Yan Shu had been taking care of his wife recently, so he had not come to the back garden or attended the court, and he had not been seen in the Sansi Yamen until now.
Therefore, after Yan Shu came back, he had to go and do some handover work. Otherwise, even if he continued to slack off, it was still necessary to report first and understand the basic situation of the Ministry of Revenue.
Zhao Zhen and his men still didn't come today. Recently, the court has been vigorously carrying out some small reforms. Shengdu is opening a bank, and Li Zi is arresting tea merchants.
Although it was not a major change, Zhao Zhen and his colleagues still had to keep an eye on the reform situation and make adjustments.
Because they also want to see whether the method Zhao Jun said is really effective, and whether this young man in his twenties really has such great talent.
If he had talent, he would be quickly promoted after Zhao Jun's eyesight recovered.
If he has no talent and is just good at talking, he might need some experience, or simply be a political adviser. It is better than him messing around with the country in the future and taking some radical measures to destabilize the country.
Fortunately, from the current situation, the Jiaozi affairs and the Tea Law are going smoothly. The main reason is that these two items have not harmed the interests of court officials. The Jiaozi affairs are a good thing for officials who have business dealings between Bianliang and Chengdu. Needless to say, the Tea Law only harms the interests of border officials.
As for the tea merchants behind the senior officials, they are engaged in the first-level wholesale market and do not need tea permits. Therefore, the entry into China has nothing to do with them. The tea permit problem is solved from the source. This is the power that the privileged class has.
So the reform has been going on for some time, and there has been no trouble so far, which makes Zhao Zhen and Lu Yijian very satisfied.
Zhao Jun had lunch soon. There were no old men and women at the village entrance. Fan Zhongyan said they had gone to work in the fields. Zhao Jun could only sit on the ground outside the door and chat with Fan Zhongyan in a casual manner.
Fan Zhongyan always held a pen in his hand and made sure to write down any important words. This was a habit maintained by Yan Shu and Fan Zhongyan as recorders.
Now Fan Zhongyan was demoted to secretary-general, and he no longer had to do his job. His main task was to take notes. Therefore, while Zhao Zhen and others were away, he secretly asked Zhao Jun many questions he wanted to ask.
For example, the New Policies of the Qingli Period and the founding of the Song Dynasty by Li Yuanhao. At this time, Fan Zhongyan already had a clear plan for his life. He wanted to reform and change the current weak predicament of the Song Dynasty.
But having learned from the lessons of his failed reforms in history, Fan Zhongyan no longer focused on other things, but instead devoted himself to studying the reform of the official system.
Zhao Jun knew that the village party secretary of Granima was a fan of Fan Zhongyan and that he liked to learn about the New Policies of the Qingli Period, so he did not hold back and expressed many of his own opinions. For example, he affirmed Fan Zhongyan's reforms, but also pointed out many shortcomings in Fan Zhongyan's reforms.
"Simply put, the overall environment of the Song Dynasty was not very good. The reason Fan Zhongyan was able to be reused by Zhao Zhen and initiate the Qingli New Deal was because the war in the northwest was stable, Li Yuanhao officially established the country, and negotiated peace with the Song Dynasty."
"After the external threat came to a temporary end, Song Renzong began to think about resolving internal troubles, alleviating the increasingly acute social contradictions and the huge military expenditures."
