The illiterate life in the Northern Song Dynasty

two days ago.

In the Zhou Mansion, a carriage came rattling from a distance and stopped at the door.Then a person got down from the shaft of the car, that person stood firm on the ground, opened the curtain respectfully, and then a handsome young man bent slightly and got out of the car.

Zhou Pu said respectfully: "Yu Hou, we are back."

Zhou Yun nodded slightly, and led Zhou Pu into the mansion.

After returning to the room, Zhou Yun entered the room and changed his clothes before coming out again.While tidying up his sleeves, he told Zhou Pu: "Go to the manufacturing room to see if Master Chen has finished making the surgical instruments."

Zhou Pu nodded, and replied, "Yes, Marquis Yu, I'll go and see right away."

As soon as Zhou Yun finished giving Zhou Pu instructions, the housekeeper of the Zhou Mansion came in with a letter in his hand. Zhou Yun asked Zhou Pu to go down and beckon the housekeeper to come forward.

The housekeeper bypassed Zhou Pu and handed the letter to Zhou Yun, and said respectfully, "Yu Hou, this is a letter from a boy named Wei Shiyi four days ago, saying that it must be delivered to you."

Wei Shiyi?Hearing this name, the face of the fat boy who first fell into the river and then recklessly called himself an angel flashed into Zhou Yun's mind.

Zhou Yun raised his eyes and asked the housekeeper to give him the letter.After receiving the letter and opening it to see the contents clearly, his brows changed from soothing to frowning, and his usually expressionless face became very serious.

"Uncle Zhou, ask someone to bring Wei Shiyi..." After reading the contents of the letter, Zhou Yun immediately wanted to ask someone to bring Wei Shiyi, but he stopped in the middle of his sentence, "Forget it, Go down and tell no one about this letter."

"Yes, Marquis Yu." The butler nodded in response, "Then I'll go down first."

Zhou Yun didn't care about the housekeeper. His attention was always on the letter, and then he recalled Wei Shiyi. He couldn't figure out why Wei Shiyi would give this letter to him. Didn't he know that this letter represented what?Because he was too focused, he didn't even pay attention to Zhou Pu's return. He didn't come back to his senses until Zhou Pu called him several times.

Putting the letter away, Zhou Yun asked Zhou Pu, "How is Master Chen doing?"

Zhou Pu didn't notice Zhou Yun's emotional change, so he replied honestly: "Master Chen said that it will be done in two days, this time you rest for three days, you can watch these surgical instruments finished and then take them out." Go solve the case."

"Yeah." Zhou Yun nodded slightly, and then he said to Zhou Pu: "Go and tell Master Chen to bring Wei Shiyi when he delivers the surgical instruments in two days."

Zhou Pu: "Wei Shiyi? That boy?"

Zhou Yun: "Well, that's him."

Zhou Pu was puzzled: "Why?"

This time Zhou Yun didn't answer, just raised his eyes to look at Zhou Pu lightly, Zhou Pu closed his mouth consciously, and quickly replied: "Okay, I understand."

Two days later.

In the Zhou Mansion, a carriage came rattling slowly from a distance, and then two people got out of the carriage, one young and one old.

Wei Shiyi carefully helped Master Chen get off the car, and then walked towards Zhou Mansion with him.Master Chen was too old, and Wei Shiyi was worried that he would accidentally fall off the car.

Wei Shiyi's considerate behavior warmed Master Chen's heart. He patted Wei Shiyi's hand and asked with concern: "Brother Shi, what have you done? Why did Hou Hou want to find you?"

Don't look at others calling Zhou Yun Marquis of Yu, but Zhou Yun's real position is Marquis of Yu in the front of the palace. According to the value that the housekeeper places on Zhou Yun, it is only a matter of time before he becomes the commander of the palace and takes charge of the imperial army.If Wei Shiyi offended Zhou Yun, it would be difficult to deal with.

"Actually, it's nothing, it's just a trivial matter." Wei Shiyi knew that Master Chen was worried about him, but he didn't think the matter was not that serious. He smiled and comforted Master Chen and said, "It's okay, don't worry."

Wei Shiyi felt that it was really a trivial matter, or rather, because he was mentally prepared in advance, he was not surprised that Zhou Yun sought him out, and at the same time he had a way to deal with it in his heart.

The prohibition of martial arts in the Northern Song Dynasty was learned by Wei Shiyi only after he arrived in the Northern Song Dynasty. Ordinary people could not own more than five weapons, and naturally they could not have gunpowder that could produce more lethal power.

Although the gunpowder formula already existed in the Northern Song Dynasty, and he wrote it to repay Zhou Yun, from the perspective of Zhou Yun, who was a civil servant of the court, what he wrote had already violated the Northern Song Dynasty's prohibition on martial arts.

However, the prohibition of martial arts in the Northern Song Dynasty seems to be different in different regions and different eras. Wei Shiyi does not know who the current emperor is, nor does he know the emperor's attitude towards ordinary people owning weapons at this time.

But no matter what the situation is, Wei Shiyi has the confidence to deal with Zhou Yun.

Wei Shiyi asked Master Chen to leave, and followed the housekeeper to Zhou Yun's room.

The housekeeper knocked on the door, "Yuhou, Wei Shiyi has arrived."

Zhou Yun's cold voice came from inside, "Come in."

Wei Shiyi nodded to the housekeeper, pushed open the door in front of him, and walked in.As soon as he entered, he saw Zhou Yun sitting on a chair reading a book.To his surprise, Zhou Yun was not wearing court clothes, but ordinary clothes. Zhou Yun in ordinary clothes looked less cool and more popular than usual.

"Marquis Yu." Wei Shiyi saluted Zhou Yun.

Zhou Yun raised his head, pointed to the seat on one side, and said, "Please sit down."

Wei Shiyi sat down, raised his head and looked directly at Zhou Yun over there, with a smile on his face, without a trace of nervousness.Seeing this, Zhou Yun's eyes moved slightly, he put down the book in his hand, and said calmly, "Do you know why I asked you here?"

"I know." Wei Shiyi nodded slightly.

"Now that you know, then you should know what gun.powder means, and what will happen if you hand this letter to me." Zhou Yun said.

Wei Shiyi: "I understand."

Wei Shiyi really understood that when he planned to write this letter, he knew about it when he planned to give the gunpowder to Zhou Yun, so he was already prepared to be found by Zhou Yun.

But Wei Shiyi was ready, but Zhou Yun dared to be surprised at his ease.

Seeing that Zhou Yun was a little surprised, Wei Shiyi put away the ease on his face, and said seriously: "I understand what the consequences will be, but I also understand better that you will not deal with me decisively because of a letter."

"Why do you think I won't deal with you?" Zhou Yun lowered his eyes and tapped his fingers on the table.

"Because I know that you are dedicated to doing things for the court, and as a citizen of the Song Dynasty, the gunpowder I researched is not to fight against the court, but to make the country richer and stronger, so that you can better protect the officials. Protect the palace." After a pause, Wei Shiyi's expression became serious, and he said solemnly: "Aren't those small countries around now ready to move? Our country is not so safe, Yu Hou, you are guarding the palace, will you Do you understand the situation in our country at this moment?"

"I don't want our country to be overthrown, I want us to become stronger, and I want us to stand on this land forever." Although the Northern Song Dynasty is doomed to perish, it can't stop his efforts, "Thinking about the country becoming stronger like this Me, will you deal with me?"

Wei Shiyi believes that Zhou Yun will not deal with him who is dedicated to making the country stronger.

Zhou Yun looks cold on the outside, but he knows that Zhou Yun is not a cold-hearted person, on the contrary, he has a set of criteria for distinguishing right from wrong.Just like that time when he used the wrong word, Zhou Yun didn't deal with him either.

"Do you think I won't deal with you?" Zhou Yun said lightly.

Wei Shiyi neither nodded nor shook his head, but just looked straight at Zhou Yun.

Zhou Yun stood up and walked towards Wei Shiyi. Standing in front of Wei Shiyi, his expression was indifferent and his eyes were cold. "The court stipulates that ordinary people can't have more than five weapons in their homes. Even if you are thinking about the country, you can't keep weapons privately."

Wei Shiyi didn't answer, he continued to look at Zhou Yun.Zhou Yun didn't continue talking, and looked at Wei Shiyi fixedly.

"But." After a long time, Zhou Yun said, "But you are lucky, you didn't make the gunpowder and handed it in consciously, so this time I can assume that you didn't break the law, but it's just this time, it's not an exception. .”

it is as expected.

Wei Shiyi couldn't help laughing, but still had a serious face on his face, and said obediently: "Okay, I will definitely remember."

Naturally, there will be no next time, this time is already a relatively extraordinary move he made in order to repay his kindness.But today, apart from the achievement of successfully handing over the gunpowder to Zhou Yun, he also gained another thing, that is, he probably got a glimpse of Zhou Yun's character and knew how to get along with him in the future.

First, don't break the law; second, don't be anti-society and anti-emperor; third, don't touch his bottom line.

As long as the above three points are not violated, Zhou Yun is still a person who does not match his appearance and is easy to get along with. He has to withdraw his first evaluation of Zhou Yun.

After talking about the matter, Wei Shiyi left Zhou Mansion.But when he left Zhou Mansion, Wei Shiyi suddenly had a feeling that maybe he and Zhou Yun would meet again in the future.

At the same time, in Zhou Yun's room in Zhou Mansion, Zhou Pu knocked on the door and walked in. He just sent Wei Shiyi out, but he was very puzzled why Zhou Yun didn't deal with Wei Shiyi.

Just now when Wei Shiyi and Zhou Yun were talking inside, he stayed outside. His facial features were sharp, and he just heard why Zhou Yun called Wei Shiyi over.

Gunpowder, Wei Shiyi actually gave Yu Hou the gunpowder formula, and the letter from the housekeeper to Yu Hou had written the gunpowder formula.

"Yu Hou, is this how you intend to deal with Wei Shiyi?" Zhou Pu asked puzzled.

Zhou Yun nodded slightly, "Yes."

Zhou Pu didn't understand even more, "Why? Wei Shiyi wrote the formula of gunpowder, which violated the court's law."

"Because..." Zhou Yun was silent for a long time, he didn't continue, but asked Zhou Pu a question, "Do you still remember how the former emperor stipulated the management of weapons?"

Zhou Pu didn't understand why Zhou Yun asked this question, but after thinking about it, he still answered honestly: "The first emperor followed the management method of the previous government and the management method of the Tang Dynasty, although each place has different systems for managing weapons. The difference, but in Bianliang, ordinary people are not allowed to hide weapons privately, so..."

So no matter what reason Wei Shiyi has, if he pays attention to fire.powder and writes out the formula of fire.powder, it will violate the law. Maybe at some point, he will create firearms that will be detrimental to the country.

"Do you hate Wei Shiyi very much?" Zhou Yun didn't answer Zhou Pu's words, but asked him this question.

Zhou Pu was slightly stunned, and then said, "No, I just think it should be dealt with according to the law."

"You stupid brain." Zhou Pu stood up and walked to the door, looking outside with his hands behind his back, not sure whether he was looking at the scenery in the courtyard or the border gate farther away, "The government intends to re-establish the management of weapons. The border gate is not stable. The two countries Liao and Xixia are staring at us, our country looks very peaceful, but who doesn't know that we give the Liao country yearly coins every year for stability."

"In the future, there will be a battle between us and the Xixia Liao Kingdom. At that time, weapons and soldiers will all be the most important things, and..." Zhou Yun paused, and said: "Forget it, you go out, anyway Wei Suyi is right, and you are not allowed to trouble Wei Shiyi."

When Zhou Pu went out, Zhou Yun slowly completed in his heart what he hadn't said just now.

And in another two months, an official will come to Beijing, and then...everything will change drastically. The gunpowder Wei Shiyi gave may have a great effect.

At that time, a person like Wei Shiyi might become a useful talent. First, he is a doctor who can heal, and second, he can improve perfect gunpowder, which shows that his attainments in weapons are not low.

How could Zhou Yun let Wei Shiyi die? Besides, what Wei Shiyi said was right. As a young man, he knew that the country was in jeopardy and the border was unstable, and he was working hard for the country.If such people are dealt with, then who else will really think about the country?

Therefore, Wei Shiyi couldn't dispose of it, and he didn't want to dispose of it either.

"Brother Shi, are you okay?" Wei Shiyi had just returned to the medical hall when Lin Jinyuan rushed up and asked nervously.

Just now Wei Shiyi followed Master Chen to Zhou Mansion, he was really worried.Although Master Chen's attitude is very good, but Lin Jinyuan knows Zhou Mansion much better than Wei Shiyi, Zhou Mansion is not a good place to go.

Wei Shiyi smiled at Lin Jinyuan and said, "Brother, it's all right."

"It's fine." Lin Jinyuan breathed a sigh of relief, "If something happens to you again, things will be troublesome."

After hearing this, Wei Shiyi couldn't help asking: "Brother, what's going on?"

"It's like this. Just now I saw Li Sanshu's family and the Chen family's family coming into Kaifeng Mansion. I felt that something was wrong with them. I saw that you were taken away by Zhou Mansion, so I didn't want to tell you about it." Lin Jinyuan said , and told what he saw after Wei Shiyi was taken away.

It turned out that not long after Wei Shiyi was taken away, Lin Jinyuan was here guarding the medical clinic. It was rather boring to guard the medical clinic all day without patients coming to the door. In addition, Wei Shiyi was connected with Kaifeng Mansion, and he sent some surgical instruments in. So Lin Jinyuan looked at the Kaifeng mansion when he was free.

It didn't matter if he looked at it, it didn't take long for him to see Uncle Lin's family of four and Chen's family of three entering Kaifeng mansion again.Lin Jinyuan didn't know what was going on, they only came out of Kaifeng mansion two days ago, why did they go in again today?

The last time Wei Shiyi entered the Kaifeng mansion because of being implicated by the Li family, although he didn't know the exact reason, he probably knew it was because of the Li family's wife's marriage, so he guessed that this time it might also be because of that.

Lin Jinyuan thought that Wei Shiyi had a good relationship with the Li family, so he wanted to tell Wei Shiyi about it, but Wei Shiyi was called to the Zhou Mansion, so Lin Jinyuan could only hold back, and now that Wei Shiyi was safe, he told the matter. come out.

Sure enough, seeing Wei Shiyi's expression, Lin Jinyuan knew that he was right.

What?Third Uncle and the others went to Kaifeng Mansion again?Wei Shiyi was very surprised. Hasn't the matter between the third sister and the Chen family been resolved?Why did you go in again?

Wei Shiyi was very anxious, and within 2 minutes of returning to the medical clinic, he hurried to Kaifeng Mansion again.It stands to reason that Kaifeng Mansion cannot be entered by just anyone, but Wei Shiyi has business dealings with Kaifeng Mansion, which is a relatively important business, so Wei Shiyi soon entered Kaifeng Mansion.

But because he was not the person involved in the case, he didn't go to the court, but watched from the side.After watching for a while, Wei Shiyi knew why Li Sanshu and the Chen family came to Kaifeng Mansion again.

The reason is simple: the Chen family did not give Li Sanjie the property she deserved.
