Jia Hu, a fan of wealth in the Red Chamber

Seeing his appearance, Yang Liu shook her head, picked up Jia Hu's homework, pointed to some symbols on it, and asked him, "What's the use of these?"

Jia Hu blinked, with a simple and honest face, "The apprentice is dull, and there are no special sentences in the book. If you want to make a sentence, apart from the teacher's explanation, you have to rely on yourself. There are often situations where there is a sentence, but there are many ways to understand it. The students were a little overwhelmed, so they thought of using these punctuation marks to break sentences in the article. In this way, there will be no more sentences in one sentence in the future."

Yang Liu was thoughtful, Shen Xuan took a look, and immediately understood what Jia Hu meant, clapped his hands and laughed, and praised, "Well, well, you are indeed my apprentice, this is a good way, why didn't you think of it before?" At this point, he turned his head to look at Yang Liu and said, "That's good. When we quarrel with those sour scholars in the future, we won't be afraid that when they quote the scriptures, they will break the context of the sentence and bully our generals for not being proficient in these things!"

Yang Liu nodded, if this thing is promoted, it will be beneficial to people like them.No more words at the moment, and began to explain the article to Jia Hu.

His apprentice's qualifications are excellent, but he doesn't seem to have such a strong ambition to become an official in the court, but he is very concerned about gold and silver. If it weren't for the situation of Jia's family, I am afraid that Jia Hu would rather be a big dandy in the capital , I don’t want to take part in the imperial examination.

Yang Liu didn't say much about it, but explained to him more and more details about the local conditions and customs in various parts of Daqi, as well as the big and small things that happened in the court.

Yang Liu has long discovered that this little apprentice has his own opinions on some things.Sometimes, when encountering difficult things, Yang Liu would also ask him, and often he could get a few good suggestions.Whenever I chatted with Shen Xuan about this two common apprentices, I would be glad that I acted quickly and accepted such a good material and beautiful jade.

It took an hour, and Yang Liu finally finished explaining Jia Hu's homework. The three masters and apprentices were all relieved, thank God, it was finally finished.

Seeing that it was getting late, Yang Liu gave Jia Hu a lot of homework. Jia Hu's spirituality in poetry is not high, and the poems he wrote can only be regarded as mediocre, but the theory is well written.After all, in the college entrance examination in the previous life, I wrote a lot of essays, especially argumentative essays.

In view of his situation, Yang Liu specifically asked him to practice more poetry and songs. The first imperial examination focuses on policy theory, and poetry is one of the compulsory items. If the boat capsizes in the gutter in this place, Yang Liu Can be pissed off.

After having dinner at the Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion, Jia Hu went back with a lot of "homework".

Yang Liu and Shen Xuan sat for a while, and then said, "The sweets that Hu'er brought are really good, especially the one that is clever, it suits my taste very well."

"What's the matter? I heard that Hu'er's people got it from overseas. If I like it, let him bring the seeds tomorrow. Let's let Zhuangzi plant it. We'll ask him to make it later. When will you You can eat it whenever you want."

Yang Liu rubbed her chin, "That's so embarrassing."

"Why are you embarrassed? That kid is not stingy."

"That's right, he's a good boy." Yang Liu agreed with Shen Xuan's words, and then sighed, "No wonder Gu Xiang praised this little grandson so much, he really is a good boy."

Shen Xuan glanced at him, "Why should you envy that old man? Isn't Hu'er also our apprentice now? It's impossible for the two of us to have an heir. Such a caring and well-behaved little apprentice is a son. Are you afraid that he will run away?"

Yang Liu smiled proudly, "Very true!"

"Has King Zhongyi found you again?"

"Well, it's still what I said before, annoying!"

Yang Liu smiled lightly: "Hu'er doesn't seem to like him very much, it's better to stay away in the future."

"I know, we are Hu'er's elders, we must support him!"

"Ah."

……

As the end of the month approached, it was time for their monthly test.Su Yuan felt a little pain. Although he entered the second-tier school desperately, he still felt very strenuous. If it weren't for a few friends who were top students who would give him a little trouble from time to time, he might have gone back to school a long time ago. I went back to the third-class school.

"Hey, I don't know who killed a thousand swords. What kind of monthly exams, half-yearly exams, and annual exams were proposed. In the past, only the exams were taken when entering school, but now it's good, I have to come here every month." Su Yuan As if to vent his anger, he poked the food in the bowl and said bitterly.

That Jia Xiaohu who killed a thousand swords: ...

Gu Yan glanced at Jia Hu with a smirk, "I think it's good, this way, I can always know the level of my studies, how good it is."

Qin Lan: "That's right, our Guozixue is good. Like Taixue, students from four schools and two families have benefited a lot. At least they can be more targeted when preparing for the exam." Speaking of this, he pointed to Jia Hu, said, "Every time brother Hu's test papers are taken to Mr. Gu and Mr. Yang, his comments are much better than those of the master. You don't know, my distant aunt asked for it the other day. Go to grandma, let me copy a copy of brother Hu's test paper for her precious son to refer to."

Qin Lan shook her head straight. He was just an unfavored son of the Qin family, and he couldn't get into the eyes of the head of the Qin family. It was a bit difficult to live in the Qin family.But now because he has become good friends with Jia Hu, and even has an intersection with the Fourth Prince and the Crown Prince, life is much easier.

Yang Xu said, "This happened to me too," pointing his chin to a little chubby guy not far away, "See, his dad was pulling me close to him this morning."

That fat pier is the second son of the Minister of the Ministry of War, and has a distant relationship with the Yang family of the Marquis of Anning. There is no one anymore.

Su Yuan was in a hurry, "What?! That's not acceptable! I'm still pointing at Jia Xiaohu's paper."

Jia Hu's eyes were shining brightly, and those small eyes almost turned into brother Kong Fang's, "You want my paper? That's easy to handle. When the paper comes out, I'll ask the bookstore to print a few copies and sell them there. There is a price that Master and my grandfather have judged, and a price that has not been judged. When someone asks, you don’t have to be embarrassed, just do as I tell you!”

Crowd: ...

Well, they all forgot that Jia Xiaohu loves nothing but Brother Kong Fang!Now that he has said so, they also have something to say to those people, and there is no need to hinder anyone's face, I am sorry.

After talking about important matters, several people began to talk about some "gossip".

"Have you heard about it? Next month's Longevity Day, the Qianxiang Kingdom, Java Kingdom, Siam, Dashi and other Tibetan factions will send envoys to congratulate them, and they will also present beauties from the Tibetan factions!" Qin Lanzhi asked. Father works in the Ministry of Rites, so he knew about this kind of news sooner than the others.

"Huh? What else is there?" Jia Hu rubbed his chin, Qian Xiangguo?Heard that spices are famous all over the world?The eyeballs rolled a few times.

After school, Jia Hu went directly to General Ningwei's mansion to look for Jia Jing, unexpectedly, but met Jia Zhen outside the mansion.

Recently, as long as Jia Zhen was in the mansion, Jia Jing would drive her to Jia Hu's place for training every day before dawn. After more than a month, Jia Zhen, who had experienced fighting on the battlefield, felt overwhelmed.

But, that's it, his father, Jia Jing, still sends him there every day unshakably!Jia Zhen seriously doubts, is he really his own son? !

Seeing Jia Hu suddenly, Jia Zhen only felt pain here and there, pain everywhere, and really wanted to just turn around and slip away...

"What are you doing in our house?" Jia Zhen's heart trembled, don't you hear him talking bad about him behind his back?Thinking of Jia Hu's ruthlessness when beating someone, Jia Zhen suddenly had the urge to run away.

Jia Hu looked Jia Zhen up and down, not aware of the psychological pressure he had caused Jia Zhen, "I have something to ask Uncle Jing for advice. It's just in time for you to come, otherwise I would have to call the door myself."

Jia Zhen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as long as she didn't have to train him in different ways, everything would be easy to talk about, so she hurriedly brought Jia Hu into the mansion, and asked the housekeeper to invite Jia Jing out.

After hearing the news that the envoys of the Fan faction were coming to court, Jia Hu wanted to come to Jia Jing for verification. Now that he got the exact news, Jia Hu started to prepare.

Taking advantage of Xiumu, Jia Hu asked Wei Jiang out, and the location was set at Furong Pavilion in Tianwaitian.

On the appointed day, Jia Hu waited in Furong Pavilion early, and after a while, Wei Jiang also came. To Jia Hu's surprise, Shen Tuqian, who was ordered to chase after Beijing, also came back. What about the month?Why did you come back?

Seeing Jia Hu's question, Shen Tuqian was in a good mood to explain it to him, "On the second day after I went to Fujian Province, there happened to be a merchant ship going out to sea for trade, and I hired a sailor to protect it. Out of curiosity, I also went there. I thought there would be no danger, but who knew that we encountered a so-called Niaga pirates on the return journey, because our Daqi soldiers were brave, and the pirates were wiped out. Later, we found a native of the pirates on the pirate ship. The guide of the Xiang Kingdom, the officers and soldiers lost their temper for a while, turned around and attacked the Qianxiang Kingdom, and almost broke into the palace. Later, the old woman from the Qianxiang Kingdom lost a lot of gold and silver, and sent out before the Longevity Festival The envoys came with the annual tribute and the letter of credence. For this matter, the sage issued three imperial decrees and summoned me back from Fujian Province."

Shen Tuqian said it calmly, but Jia Hu knew that it must not be that simple behind it. Looking at him like this, at least the sailors in the East China Sea must have a good impression of the Fourth Prince.

"Do saints have any rules?"

Wei Jiang: "The sage has ordered the adults of Honglu Temple to prepare to welcome them."

"I'm asking, will the saint give any rewards to these envoys from foreign countries?" Jia Hu blinked, "I heard that people from foreign countries never like to take a bath. The smell on their bodies... tsk tsk."

Shen Tuqian and Wei Jiang looked at each other, and Wei Jiang asked, "What do you think?"

Jia Hu smiled, the smile was full of calculations, no different from a little fox.He hooked his fingers and asked the two people to come closer. After muttering like this for a while, Wei Jiang nodded again and again, and Shentu Qian's eyes were full of deep meaning.

In Jia Hu's words, it's better to stay in Daqi for rewards or something!

Thinking that there will be a large amount of income, Jia Hu is in a good mood, and the taste that he is accustomed to on weekdays tastes even more special.

After the dishes were finished, Huai'an, Shentuqian's valet, came in with a box.

Shen Tuqian took it, waved the servants out of the room, and then opened the box to reveal the contents.

"Huh? Isn't this a firearm?" When Wei Jiang saw it, he carefully picked up the tube in the box and frowned.

Shen Tuqian nodded, "Be careful, this weapon is a bit different from Daqi's firearm. It has a longer range, it's not easy to grab the tube and heat up, and it's less likely to explode. This time, if you didn't listen to Brother Hu's words , let someone bring a few firearms, and there is only one firearm on the pirate ship, we are afraid that we will suffer a big loss this time."

Jia Hu recognized it as a flintlock gun at a glance, which seemed to be a bit more advanced than Da Qi's firearms, but in the eyes of Jia Hu, who had seen the guns of later generations, this gun that almost made Shen Tuqian suffer really Let him be a little humble.

"It's just a gun, you give it to me, and I'll build you a better one tomorrow."

Shentu Qian raised his eyebrows, "You also understand this?"

Wei Jiang: "This thing is not a joke."

Jia Hu lifted her chin proudly, "As long as it can be exchanged for money, I will!"

Wei Jiang was speechless, stroking Jia Hu's upturned hair, and said helplessly, "You!"

"Well, I'll give it to you, and you can get me a better one. At that time, I will report to the saint for you. You can choose whether you want money or a title!"

Satisfied, Jia Hu clapped his hands together, "That's it!"

Happily holding the box containing the firearm, Jia Hu disassembled the poor firearm overnight, reassembled and dismantled it, and drew pictures of the guns he had touched during the military training.

Although he boasted a lot in front of Shen Tuqian, it was not so easy for him to immediately take out the improved gun. After all, the craftsmanship of this era is far from that of later generations, and he has to find some balance from it.

Fortunately, in these years, he has found some folk craftsmen one after another. The craftsmanship is probably better than those craftsmen in the palace, but among the folks, they are extremely outstanding. If he can't do it, don't there still be them?

So, after drawing the disassembled diagram of the gun, he recruited Qingyue and asked him to take Shen Tuqian's firearm and the drawings he had drawn to Yuqi Mountain.

After the order was given, Jia Hu had nothing to do, anyway, the people in his hands would complete his explanation, and he just had to wait for the money to be counted.
