The illiterate life in the Northern Song Dynasty

Wang Anshi can be said to be a rather peculiar person. He has no hobbies, at least in the eyes of outsiders, it is impossible to see that he is particularly interested in something. Everyone loves eating, drinking and having fun. There is no fun for him, even Fishing with the emperor can also be in a daze. If someone wants to get some treasures to bribe Wang Anshi, it will definitely not work.

Therefore, anyone who wants to get close to Wang Anshi has to use his brains.

Wei Shiyi was like this. If it wasn't for the division system and the design of the revolving dining table, he wouldn't be able to attract Wang Anshi's attention at all, but now, he doesn't have to worry about these things.

Wang Anshi invited Wei Shiyi to his home to discuss the revolving dining table. Wei Shiyi told him the design concept and details of the revolving dining table in detail. Although the revolving dining table was manufactured by the Bureau of Construction Supervision, they also told Wei Shiyi about the details.

Wang Anshi is not a pedantic person, on the contrary, he has a lot of novel ideas in his mind. For a while, he and Wei Shiyi started discussing in the palace.

Not only that, but they also discussed the surgical operation that Wei Shiyi mentioned before. He was surprised to learn that the surgery can be done to the highest level. Then Wang Anshi also asked Wei Shiyi why he was studying at the Imperial Medical Bureau while supervising Wei Shiyi said that he had some knowledge about weapons.

This made Wang Anshi even more surprised, and said that he would like to see the weapons designed by Wei Shiyi when he had time. Da Song is currently considered to be a strong outsider but a capable man in the middle. He has been thinking of ways to make Da Song stronger and the people richer. Hearing that Wei Shiyi's new weapon was powerful, he became interested.

These contents cannot be finished in a short while, and the two of them have said so much, and it took a lot of time.In the end, we went back and forth, and before we knew it, Wei Shiyi had been in contact with Wang Anshi for seven or eight days, and the relationship between the two was also increasing day by day.

On this day, Wei Shiyi was explaining the composition of gunpowder to Wang Anshi, and also talked about some more powerful modern bombs, such as industrial explosives. Unfortunately, because there are no chemical equipment here, it is difficult to make nitrification explosives.

Hearing this, Wang Anshi's expression couldn't help becoming serious, and he sighed, "Brother Shi, the methods you mentioned are really amazing. If you can really make that kind of nitration explosive, I'm afraid it will be the Xixia and Liao kingdoms." I don’t dare to invade the Song Dynasty anymore.”

Wei Shiyi also sighed, but what can I do if I sigh again?He studied Western medicine, not chemistry, so even if he could provide ideas, it would be useless if he couldn't do it.

In ancient times, sulfuric acid was available, and nitric acid should be able to be produced with some effort, but it is not easy to produce more ingredients.And explosives are very dangerous. If there is no safety guarantee, they cannot be manufactured casually.

"Mr. Wang, I may not be able to come to your place for the next few days." Wei Shiyi suddenly said to Wang Anshi.

Wang Anshi was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Why?"

Touching his head, Wei Shiyi said embarrassedly: "There are two days before the assessment in our academy. My knowledge is not very good, so in the next two days, I have to review textbooks at home to prepare for the assessment."

"Aren't you very knowledgeable?" Wang Anshi was a little surprised. When he was in contact with Wei Shiyi these days, when he talked about those things, he said them clearly and logically, especially in terms of surgery, he was more like an expert. Such a person would Poor knowledge.

Wei Shiyi nodded awkwardly, feeling really ashamed.

Wang Anshi didn't quite believe it. He thought about it, and asked Wei Shiyi to write a poem based on the pear tree in his home. Have no idea.

Wang Anshi: "..."

Then he remembered what Wei Shiyi was learning now, and asked Wei Shiyi to feel his pulse, and the result was even more obvious, Wei Shiyi couldn't get his pulse...

"So, so I'm going to study hard in the next few days." Wei Shiyi blushed, embarrassed.

Wang Anshi had accepted the fact that the young man he was somewhat optimistic about was a scumbag, so he asked Wei Shiyi to come back after the assessment.As soon as Wei Shiyi left, he looked up to the sky and sighed, he was such a young man, how could he be so poorly educated!

At this moment, he suddenly remembered what Wei Shiyi had come to ask him to do before. He divided the college into majors, and even proposed a major in surgery. Could it be that he planned it for himself... Mr. Wang finally paid attention He is not interested in things, but the direction of his attention is a bit wrong.

On the other side, Wei Shiyi had already returned home.Since the assessment was due soon, he didn't go to restaurants and clothing stores, but returned home to review.

His room is full of books, medicine, pulse, acupuncture... all kinds of books are piled up on the table, and the space left is only enough to put a small teacup.

Taking a deep breath, Wei Shiyi immediately sat down, took the book and began to recite it.In pure theory, he can barely pass the test, but in practice... he can only resign himself to fate.

It's just that the sky didn't come true, Wei Shiyi hadn't been reviewing for a long time, Zheng Shuangcheng came.

"Brother, Brother Cheng is here to look for you." Xiao Shihuan shouted as he ran on short legs, his soft voice reached Wei Shiyi's ears from the door.

Wei Shiyi got up and saw that Zheng Shuangcheng really came, the fat little boy followed the little girl with a smile on his face.

"Brother Shi, I came to review with you." Zheng Shuangcheng entered Wei Shiyi's room with a large stack of books in his arms, and then got another table from the outside to come in side by side with Wei Shiyi's, and the two of them went together Review, "Come on, let's go."

Wei Shiyi: "..."

Wei Shiyi ignored Zheng Shuangcheng first, he carried Wei Shihuan to Li Sanniang and asked her to watch over him.Although he was studying at home these days, he didn't have time to take Wei Shihuan with him, so he could only ask Li Sanniang to continue taking care of him.

After making arrangements for Wei Shihuan, Wei Shiyi came back.When he came back, he and Zheng Shuangcheng started reviewing together, but it didn't take long for Zheng Shuangcheng to start talking.

"Brother Shi, have you gone to Mr. Wang's place again?"

Wei Shiyi nodded, "Well, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I just admire you very much." Zheng Shuangcheng gave Wei Shiyi a thumbs up, "You don't even know that you know Mr. Wang, and you also participated in the reform of the academy's majors, how embarrassing!"

Wei Shiyi smiled, and said, "Isn't the takeaway and custom-made clothes you used to do not embarrassing?"

Zheng Shuangcheng chuckled twice, and said, "Put your face up!" But no matter how high your face is, it can't compare to Wei Shiyi's approaching the teaching assistants quietly, and getting to know Mr. Wang well. Not only that, he I also know Zhou Yun.

The previous Wei Shiyi had no background in the academy, but now Wei Shiyi has a background and connections among the group of students in the academy.

The background connections of those students were all from their families, but Wei Shiyi's was earned by himself.Zheng Shuangcheng will never forget to spread this word to the school, the expressions on those people's faces are really wonderful.

Back to a few days ago, Wei Shiyi was called away by Assistant Professor Lin. The students in the classroom assumed many different outcomes. Zheng Shuangcheng sat for a long time and thought about it for a long time. After class, he went to find Wei Shiyi.

It's just that he didn't find Wei Shiyi in the academy. He went to find Assistant Professor Lin and found that Assistant Professor Lin was not there. Not only that, many assistants were not in the academy, except for the few assistants who were in class.

Later, Zheng Shuangcheng went to the Wei family to look for Wei Shiyi, but the Wei family didn’t have one, and next was Li Ji Tailor Store. here.

At that time, Zheng Shuangcheng wanted to rush up to find Wei Shiyi, but Uncle Li stopped him, saying that Wei Shiyi was having dinner with the teaching assistants, besides the teaching assistants, there were also the academy's promotion, Zhou Yun, and a bachelor with a relatively high status.

So Zheng Shuangcheng waited in the rest room, waiting for Wei Shiyi and the others to finish eating.

This time, he waited for a long time, and he fell asleep in the rest room before Wei Shiyi and the others came out.At that moment, Zheng Shuangcheng stuck his head out of the window to see the people that Uncle Li was talking about, and it was really amazing to see them, darling, it was really the same as what Uncle Li said.

The teaching assistant, Tiju, Yu Hou, and the bachelor were all there, and Zheng Shuangcheng was even more surprised that Wei Shiyi walked among them and got along with them very well, as if they had known each other for a long time.

When did Wei Shiyi know so many people?Zheng Shuangcheng was very curious, but he didn't dare to rush up to ask.Finally, after Wei Shiyi sent everyone away, he went up to ask.

This question almost shattered Zheng Shuangcheng's three views as a young boy.

Wei Shiyi knew a lot of people, a lot of people with status, and a lot of people with status.

In this way, the relationship between Wei Shiyi and Zhou Yun is really nothing.

So far, the young boy Zheng Shuangcheng has only one word for Wei Shiyi - Admiration!

Then, the next day, Zheng Shuangcheng told those people in the school the reason why Wei Shiyi was called out, and told them to keep their mouths clean and not guess randomly.Of course, he didn't say that Wei Shiyi knew so many people, he just said that he had a good relationship with the teaching assistants in the academy.

Of course those people didn't believe it, but the next day someone saw Wei Shiyi talking with Assistant Professor Lin and other assistants, and it seemed really harmonious.

After that, no one dared to guess the reason why Wei Shiyi was called out, and those people never discussed Wei Shiyi publicly again.

congratulations.

"Admiration! Really admiration!" Zheng Shuangcheng praised.

Wei Shiyi knocked Zheng Shuangcheng on the head, and said with a smile: "What do you admire? If I fail the assessment this time, maybe those people will say that I am so close to the teaching assistants, why didn't I learn from them? Is it just embarrassing?"

"Eh..." Zheng Shuangcheng finally thought of this, and he said, "Brother Shi, can you pass the examination?"

Can?Zheng Shuangcheng's tone of voice was insufficient.

Wei Shiyi shook his head, "I can't." There is a 99% probability that he won't pass, and the 1% will not pass unless his character explodes, and the original Wei Shiyi may be okay when he comes back.

"Ah! What can I do then!" Zheng Shuangcheng broke down, covering his head with a book and screaming strangely.

Wei Shiyi was very calm, and said: "The big deal is to be told once, and besides, not all of those people can pass the examination."

He had inquired a long time ago. There are a total of 120 students in the Imperial Medical Bureau. At the best time, only two-thirds of the students passed the assessment each time, and the remaining one-third were repeated grades, so Wei Shiyi was not worried.

Speaking of this, he was more worried about Zheng Shuangcheng, because Zheng Shuangcheng didn't look like a top student.

"Brother Cheng, I can't pass here, you have to work harder there." Wei Shiyi patted Zheng Shuangcheng on the shoulder and said, Zheng Shuangcheng's expression changed, and he remembered that his current situation was worse than Wei Wei's. Shiyi is not much better, he said pitifully: "Brother Shi... Are we really brothers and sisters?"

Wei Shiyi: "..."

Seeing that Zheng Shuangcheng can still say such things, it seems that he doesn't need to worry about himself.

In the next few days, Wei Shiyi and Zheng Shuangcheng carefully reviewed the textbooks at home.A few days later, they began the medical examination.

The content of the assessment is divided into theory and operation. Theory is the medical knowledge extracted from the book. It includes examining the main pulse of the human body, and also examining the medicinal properties and usage methods of medicinal materials. There are many contents.The practical operation is to let the students feel the pulse, judge the cause of the disease, and then prescribe the right medicine. Not only that, but also let the students go to the acupuncture and moxibustion bronze figure, and take the acupuncture and moxibustion exam.

The content of the assessment is relatively large, and the number of students participating in the assessment is also large, so this assessment lasted for three days before it ended.

After the exam, Wei Shiyi was in a daze. When he came out of the exam room, he found that Zheng Shuangcheng was also in a daze. His white and tender chubby face seemed to have lost weight.

Not only that, Wei Shiyi also saw Wu Fei's senior brothers, they also came out of the examination room, their faces were not very good-looking.

The two said hello, and then went home to rest.After a few days of exams and so many days of high concentration, it's time to rest.

Although the medical examination is not as good as the formal imperial examination, it is comparable in complexity.

Back home, Wei Shiyi only had time to say a few words to Li Sanshu and the others, and asked them to help take care of Wei Shiyi, before falling asleep. After sleeping, Wei Shiyi slept until the middle of the month before waking up.

After getting up, Wei Shiyi went to the kitchen. He planned to find something to eat. After sleeping for too long, he was a little hungry.

He took a sip of water before planning to cook, but when he lifted the lid of the pot, he found that there were vegetables in the pot, and when he touched it, it was still hot.He went to look under the stove, only to find that there was charcoal in the stove, and there were a few sparks burning. Those sparks ensured that the food would not be cold, but it would not be so hot that it would burn the pot through. People are very attentive.

There is no one else who can do this except Uncle Li and the others. Wei Shiyi smiled and took out the food from the pot. He felt that the food was more delicious than ever before.

The assessment is over, and the next step is to wait for the results.

Zheng Shuangcheng and others sent a servant to watch in the academy, and Wu Fei and others waited in the academy every day. Even Fu Lingran, who was proud and arrogant, didn't have the heart to fight against Wei Shiyi, and he was thinking about Wei Shiyi was no exception to the assessment results, but when he cared about the assessment results, he also cared about another thing.

Finally, when the results came out, everyone went to see the results of the assessment, but Wei Shiyi went to the other side.

Assistant Professor Lin rested on the back of the chair, taking a sip of the tea in hand from time to time.The students who participated in the assessment these days are very tired, and they are also tired as teachers. After finally announcing the assessment results, they can also take a break.

It's just that there is no bed in the room, and the rest is not very good.Just when Assistant Professor Lin was about to go to the student room next door to find a place to sleep for a while, he heard someone knocking on the door.

"Please come in." Assistant Professor Lin said while pinching his brows.

Then he saw the person who came in, not other teaching assistants, but Wei Shiyi, "Wei Shiyi, what do you want to come to me right now?"

Today is the day when the assessment results are announced, Wei Shiyi is not there, why come to him instead.

Thinking of this, Assistant Professor Lin asked, "Have you gone to see your test results?"

Wei Shiyi replied, "Look."

read?Assistant Professor Lin couldn't understand Wei Shiyi more and more. Now that he read it, he should know that he didn't pass the examination.

Assistant Professor Lin was a little curious, but Wei Shiyi seemed to know what he was thinking, and took the initiative to explain: "Sir, it's like this. I want to change my major to study."

Seeing that Assistant Teacher Lin didn't understand, after thinking about it, Wei Shiyi said clearly, "Sir, I've been tutoring with you all this time, so you should know my progress. Although I have no problem studying now, but I don't know how to find acupuncture points and feel the pulse on the most basic face, and I think I may not be able to pass the next test."

"So." Gritting his teeth, Wei Shiyi said, "So I want to change my major to study. I have some talent in surgery, and I think I can learn the knowledge there."

Assistant Professor Lin understood now. In fact, he should have understood what Wei Shiyi meant just now. It's just that after so many days of work, his mind was muddled, so he didn't react immediately. Now that Wei Shiyi said it, he immediately Just know.

After thinking for a while, Assistant Professor Lin said, "That's fine."

Wei Shiyi looked at Assistant Professor Lin in surprise, did he agree?

"Yes, I agree." Assistant Professor Lin nodded and said affirmatively: "I should have thought of this before. You have shown great talent in surgery these days. Compared with you, although you You are working hard to learn the knowledge of Chinese medicine, but with little success, maybe you are the kind of student who has no talent in Chinese medicine."

"Actually, I thought about whether I should let you study with Wang Xingzhi, but I saw that you were studying so seriously, so I didn't say anything. It's just right for you to bring it up now, and your results in this assessment also speak for themselves. If you continue to Stay here with me, and when you pass the assessment, you may be in your 30s or [-]s."

Assistant Professor Lin spoke very seriously. He didn't have a big impression of Wei Shiyi before, and he never said that he didn't study well. Of course, Wei Shiyi might be embarrassed to say it.After he fell into the water, he was a little more cheerful than before. After being cheerful and outgoing, Wei Shiyi told the truth about his lack of knowledge and faced it bravely. Assistant Professor Lin's impression of him was even deeper.

After getting along for a long time, Assistant Professor Lin knew that Wei Shiyi's poor knowledge was not because he didn't work hard, but because he didn't have that kind of talent.

He doesn't like to force people, and he won't pressure untalented students to study hard. Since Wei Shiyi is talented in another aspect, then he can go there to study.

He didn't lie to Wei Shiyi either, he thought about it when Wei Shiyi came up with some surgical instruments at first, but what Wang Xingzhi taught at that time hadn't proved to be able to save people, so he suppressed this idea .

Now Wei Shiyi took the initiative to mention it, which is very good, so Assistant Professor Lin agreed.

Wei Shiyi walked out of Assistant Professor Lin's office in a daze. He recovered after being blown by the cold wind. He thought it would be difficult to persuade Assistant Professor Lin to agree, but he didn't expect it to be so easy.

In ancient times, respect for teachers was emphasized, and once you have a teacher, you can't change it at will, but I didn't expect... After touching his face, Wei Shiyi made a decision. Although he will not study with Assistant Professor Lin in the future, Assistant Professor Lin will always is his teacher.

Wei Shiyi walked out of Assistant Professor Lin's office and walked outside the Imperial Medical Bureau. He happened to pass the bulletin board with the examination results. Zheng Shuangcheng was there. When he saw Wei Shiyi coming out, he immediately ran towards him.

Zheng Shuangcheng took Wei Shiyi's hand out of breath, with a distressed expression on his face, "Brother Shi, have you read your grades?"

"I see." Wei Shiyi replied, and he took the initiative to say: "I didn't pass, Brother Cheng, congratulations, you passed."

"But I passed and you failed!" Zheng Shuangcheng was not happy at all, very unhappy, he said bitterly: "What should I do, brother Shi, you will be left alone in the academy from now on, you What should I do if I am bullied, I can't bear you! And you are so poor at studying, what if you fail to pass after studying for 50 years?"

"Brother Shi! Why did you become so stupid after falling into the water once?"

Hey, this little boy!

Wei Shiyi resisted the urge to hit Zheng Shuangcheng on the head, his heart was almost moved by Zheng Shuangcheng's words just now, but his last sentence almost didn't make Wei Shiyi faint from anger.

Luckily, Wei Shiyi said, "Brother Cheng, has Fu Lingran passed by?"

Zheng Shuangcheng nodded, "It's over."

Wei Shiyi said: "Then you still worry about who will bully me."

Zheng Shuangcheng blinked, as if... it was true.

Wei Shiyi continued: "As for whether I can pass the assessment, I have already solved it just now."

"solved?"

"Yeah." Wei Shiyi then told him about finding Assistant Professor Lin to change majors and colleges. Chinese medicine and surgery are different, and they are considered different colleges. "I can't do it in Chinese medicine, but I think I'm in surgery. A bit of talent, so I should get through there."

Zheng Shuangcheng understood now, and he said, "It's really like this."

After the problem was solved, Zheng Shuangcheng's mood recovered, and he returned to the same heartless look as before.

"Brother Shi, this is really strange. Before you fell into the water, you were good at studying, but after you fell into the water, it was not good. Moreover, I never knew that you were interested in surgery."

Zheng Shuangcheng said incomprehensibly, Wei Shiyi was very calm on the contrary, he said: "If I didn't lose my previous memory, I would naturally remember the previous knowledge, but now I have lost my memory, just like a person who has just studied Think about this knowledge, if you came to learn it just after you finished your enlightenment, would you understand it?"

Hmm... It must be something I don't understand, Zheng Shuangcheng shook his head.

"That's it." Wei Shiyi patted Zheng Shuangcheng's head, not fooling the primary school student's self-blame at all.

Wei Shiyi didn't stay with Zheng Shuangcheng for long before leaving. He agreed to go to Mr. Wang after the assessment was over, and Ze was just now able to go after the assessment was over.
