Promotion Letter for the Chief Executive

The road from the capital to Jiangnan has not yet been repaired, so it will take some time to go back and forth.

So when Ping An finally got a reply from Mr. Wen, it was already March when the flowers were blooming and the grass was growing.

Attached are letters from Xu Wenmei and Wen Chengbi.Xu Wenmei explained the Jiangnan matter in her heart, and mentioned that Wen Chengbi's marriage had already been decided.Surprisingly, the other party was not from a wealthy family, nor from a scholarly family, but actually a humble scholar.

However, although he came from a poor family, the other party is talented and has a loose and unruly personality, so he doesn't pay much attention to worldly etiquette.The Wen family worked so hard to choose such a person, which shows their preference for Wen Chengbi.Only when the other party is informal can he accept her shocking practices and ideas.

As for Wen Chengbixin, although he didn't mention half a word about his upcoming marriage, it can still be seen between the lines that he is very happy.

Obviously, everyone was very happy with the marriage.

Ping An also felt very relieved.I thought she would be impatient with restraint after marriage, but if someone can accept her deviant ways, it would be a blessing.

Therefore, such a thing as marriage really needs a bit of luck.

But in this way, his gift must be prepared early, and it must be rich enough.

There is no way to make a mirror for the time being, and Ping An plans to make a mechanical pendulum clock.Ping An once made a simple version of this thing by hand. Although it is a bit troublesome to make it, it is feasible.

If you want to go fast, Ping An should go to the Military Bureau to find someone to help. The machines and materials are ready-made, and the craftsmanship of the craftsmen is also reliable.But once this thing is produced, there will definitely be a market.The cement factory has been handed over to the emperor, and Ping An does not intend to do white labor for others.

There are so many things to do, and money is needed for pre-operation.Moreover, many things cannot be handed over to the imperial court for operation in a short period of time, so he needs his own people to do them.At least that's the case for previous experimental research work.

As for where does the manpower come from?

After Ping An handed over the newspaper matter before, the emperor promised him to let him toss about what he got next time.Ping An was originally intended to be used for another matter, but now it seems that it is more appropriate to use it here.

Ping An does not intend to set a precedent for itself and allow private individuals to control these things—maybe it will be possible in the future, but at the very beginning, these things must be in the hands of the court.Therefore, Ping An plans to set up an independent research group, which will be attached to the Ministry of Industry.

However, within a few years, this research group will not have any results.For the things produced, Ping An will use other excuses to sell them.When Zhao Can ascended the throne a few years later, it would be logical to hand over these things.

Pingan wrote this matter in his memorandum, and when he had time, he wrote a preliminary plan first, and then went to the emperor to apply for project approval. ——Now it is very easy to do these things safely, as long as the emperor agrees.Others can neither see the benefits of this matter nor know what he is going to do, so no one will come to snatch it.

But the most important thing now is to get that Mr. Fu Yan done first.

In Mr. Wen's letter, he promised to recommend Ping An, and also attached a letter for Ping An to hand over to Fu Yan.Needless to say the contents of the letter.But then he said again that he didn't think Ping An would be able to invite Fu Yan to come out of the mountain.

Ping An was a little surprised.

Because of his preconceived attitude, he always felt that living in seclusion on Zhongnan Mountain, accepting disciples and passing on his name, this Fu Yan should be a bit ambitious.In order to ensure the achievement of the goal, he had vaguely mentioned one point in the previous letter, which made Mr. Wen know it well.

However, in Mr. Wen's reply, he thought that Ping'an was wrong. Fu Yan was not a man for fame and fame at all. As for him living in seclusion on Zhongnan Mountain, there was another reason.

Then Ping An saw a story that made him not know how to complain.

It is said that Fu Yan's great-grandfather was a survivor of the former dynasty, which was already guessed before Ping An.When the former dynasty fell, that Mr. Fu was the teacher chosen by the subjugated emperor for his prince.Being able to be elected to hold such an important position, all of the Fu family are naturally loyal ministers.

Therefore, after the country was destroyed, the Fu family would naturally no longer be an official, so they retired to the south of the Yangtze River.Opening a library to teach apprentices, concentrating on literary affairs, and quickly accumulated a high reputation.Even after the new dynasty is established, they cannot be moved easily.

That's why Mr. Wen was able to know the story.

The above is the previous situation.

Passed down to Fu Yan's generation, the Fu family has long been deeply rooted in the south of the Yangtze River.Fu Yan himself has a literary talent, and he is even more sought after by everyone in the south of the Yangtze River. He is known as the number one talent in the south of the Yangtze River.And Fu Yan has a good friend named Qin Haoran.Although Qin Haoran is slightly inferior to Fu Yan in terms of talent, but he is outstanding in appearance and romantic, which has attracted the hearts of countless ladies from Jiangnan.

Then tragedy struck.

Fu Yan's fiancée, a lady from another scholarly family, fell in love with Fu Yan's good friend Qin Haoran.

Even in modern times, getting engaged doesn't mean quitting immediately, after all, it will affect the reputation of the two families, let alone at this time, and it also involves three scholarly families.They can't afford to lose face.

However, two of Fu Yan's friends knelt in front of him and begged him to help them.Anyway, he doesn't like that lady, as long as he takes a step back, everyone will be happy, why not fulfill the two lovers?

Seeing this, Ping An couldn't help complaining. According to the plot of the dog blood drama, Fu Yan must also like the fiancée.Then tossing and tossing between friendship and love, not breaking out in silence, but perverting in silence——

stop!It is unacceptable to think wildly!

Continue to look down, it is similar to Ping An's guess.In short, after entanglement, Fu Yan chose to leave home to study abroad to help his friends and fiancee.

But those two people didn't expect that after removing Fu Yan, the biggest obstacle, their family members would not agree to let them be together because of face.He even started arranging their respective marriages, hoping that they can get married with peace of mind.

At this time, Fu Yan's approach probably inspired the two, so the two finally chose to elope and run away from home to be a couple of lovers.

There are not many elopement stories in this world that have a happy ending.It is naturally difficult for two young people without any experience to gain a foothold outside.After breaking away from the rich material life provided by the family, love is gradually wiped out by the life of daily necessities.

Once regarded each other as a pair of lovers all over the world, but in the end they became resentful spouses.

That's not counting, because she didn't have enough nutrition and care, the woman ended up with two dead bodies during childbirth, and her soul returned to the underworld.

At that time, the place where the two chose to settle down was the capital city. After the woman died, she was buried on Zhongnan Mountain.After the death of his wife, Qin Haoran suddenly realized, and all thoughts were lost, so he became a monk at the Tianji Temple on Zhongnan Mountain and became a Taoist priest.

It was several years later that Fu Yan came here after studying here, and he was shocked to hear the news and was greatly shocked.So he also lived in a hut near the woman's tomb until now.As for the opening of the museum to accept disciples, it was after the fame spread that some scholars came to him because of the fame, so he took advantage of the trend.

Therefore, Mr. Wen thought that Ping'an's previous deduction was wrong. The reason why Fu Yan lived in seclusion here was not for the sake of fame at all, let alone being easily moved by him.

After reading this story, there is only one feeling in Ping An - a boy who is worthless!

But he has a different view from Mr. Wen.

Perhaps Fu Yan had feelings for the fiancée lady at the time, but since he chose to quit and go on a study tour, it shows that he is not the kind of person who would die or live for love.Otherwise, he should be decadent and sad, drink away his sorrows, write some miserable poems every day to win sympathy, and finally die in despair, which will not be better than the other two.

And he chose to study away from home. On the one hand, he wanted to avoid these sad things, but on the other hand, he had already made up his mind to put all his thoughts on his studies.

And according to Mr. Wen, Fu Yan really traveled almost all the mountains and rivers of Dachu, and he really went on a study tour, instead of just going out to compete with those talented and famous talents, and just to make a name for himself.Therefore, Ping An felt that the other party's academic intentions were sincere.

As for living in seclusion in a hut, it may be because of hearing the news of the woman's death, but Pingan feels that after so many years, how much of the hazy friendship from childhood can still be preserved?Besides, having traveled to so many places over the years, Fu Yan must have a very open mind and will not be bound by feelings.

So no matter what the reason for Fu Yan to live in Zhongnan Mountain, Ping An felt that he still had a chance to impress him.

However, the method may have to change.

As soon as I changed my mind about safety, I thought that Shangsi Festival would be three days later.According to legend, the third day of March is the birthday of Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor and the birthday of Taoist Emperor Zhenwu. It coincides with the time after Qingming, when willows, green flowers and flowers bloom, and gradually evolved into a festival for the whole people to celebrate.

On this day, the common people drink banquets by the water and go to the countryside for a spring outing. Later, it even gradually evolved into a festival for young men and women to meet each other. ——Ping An found that no matter what the festival is, it may eventually turn into a disguised Valentine's Day.I am convinced of the tireless enthusiasm of young men and women to fall in love.

In short, during this festival, everyone in the capital will definitely go out of the city to enjoy the spring, and the Tianji Temple on Zhongnan Mountain will also hold a sacrificial offering to pray for blessings and avoid disasters, and to celebrate the birthday of Emperor Zhenwu.At that time, many people will naturally climb the mountain and go to the Taoist temple to burn incense.

In such a lively festival, those people living on Zhongnan Mountain will be more or less moved and go out for a walk.In this way, Ping An can meet Fu Yan directly without being informed by the students.

As long as they meet face to face, Ping An will be [-] to [-]% sure to convince him.It doesn't look like much, but it's worth a try.

So Ping An hurried into the palace to ask for leave, and reported his plans to the emperor.

As a result, as soon as Ping'an mentioned this topic, the emperor also followed suit, as if he really wanted to take advantage of the fine weather to go out for a stroll by himself.However, in such a crowded and chaotic day, and in the mountains outside the city, there are too many uncertain factors, and no one would allow the emperor to mess around like this.

So in the end, the emperor could only repeatedly tell Ping An a lot, and then let him go.

Speaking of which, although Pingan despises the custom that no matter what festival can be celebrated as Valentine's Day, but knowing that there is such a festival, she actually quite wants to go with Zhao Can.

It's just that this time it's an "official business". Since I've registered with the emperor, my actions will definitely be noticed by others. Even if I want to keep things secret and have a romantic date with Zhao Can, I probably won't be able to.

This time is different from the Lantern Festival. After all, it was done for others to see, but now it is necessary to avoid suspicion.

On the third day of March, Ping An got up early in the morning.

He changed into brand new clothes, dressed himself as a scholar on a youth tour, and then went out. ——Although Ping An feels that the status of eunuch will not affect his wisdom and martial arts, he has to admit that the world is indeed prejudiced against this.If he appeared in eunuch uniform, Fu Yan might not even look him in the eye.

So sometimes for the sake of strategy, it is also necessary to do some image design.

The ride out of town was smooth.This is mainly due to eunuch Tian.

In the plan given to him by Ping An, it was very simple and rude to make a simple division of the national officialdom in terms of importance and urgency, as a reference.However, it turns out that eunuch Tian was able to get to the position he is today, and it wasn't for nothing.

He didn't build roads according to Ping'an's idea. Instead, after he became the general manager, he built roads from the capital to the outside, and blossomed in all directions. Don't care where it leads, in short, the roads on Jingji Road have been repaired.

Facts have proved that this approach is more in line with everyone's expectations, and has also been unanimously approved by the court.

——The capital city is the face of Dachu. At the feet of the emperor, no matter what good things are, they should appear here first, and then spread to other places.

Up to now, the roads in the entire capital city have almost been repaired, and they are extending to other states and counties on Jingji Road.So all the way out of the city in Ping An, I can still hear many people praising the cement road.Although this thing has been around for a long time, the common people are still not new enough. Every time they walk through it, they have to sigh.

Ping An suddenly remembered a slogan that he had seen when he passed a certain city by train in his previous life: Three years of great changes, showing a new image of the city in every way.

Everything is initially on the right track. Now it is a cement road. When the road is repaired, Ping An is thinking about rebuilding the old houses in the city.Or if the reconstruction of old houses is too complicated, the construction of urban public facilities should be carried out first, and then step by step.Presumably in a few years, the whole capital will change drastically.

Turning these thoughts all the way, I arrived at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain safely.On the way up, you can’t ride a horse. Put your horse in a safe place and climb up the stone steps safely.There are tall numbers on both sides of the road, with luxuriant branches and leaves, covering the sky and the sun, making this road more and more quiet.

No wonder so many people choose to live in seclusion here, the environment is indeed very good.Ping An himself was in it, and he suddenly felt like living in seclusion.

However, although it is said to be "Guiyin mountain forest", in fact Zhongnan Mountain is so big, with rich vegetation, and there are many beasts in the deep mountains, so it is naturally impossible for these people to build houses deep in the mountains, let alone live alone In the mountains, otherwise if something really happens, it will be called "every day should not be done", and the earth will not work.

So in fact, everyone tacitly agrees to take the Tianji Temple as the center, and distributes it in a fan shape on the middle of the mountain. There is a certain distance between each other, and they can look at each other from a distance, so that they can watch and protect without reducing the tranquility.Looking from the road to both sides, you can only see the corner of the eaves exposed in the shade of the trees, and there is absolutely no risk of being disturbed by prying eyes.

Seeing this situation, Ping An couldn't help sighing in his heart. This place looks like a small mountain village, but in fact the people living here are all really talented people. Just thinking about this kind of scene makes people envious.No wonder hermits can develop a culture too.

After a few laps outside the Tianji Temple, Ping An found a group of scholars wearing student shirts under an old tree.

This is not beyond Ping An's expectations.Originally, such grand gatherings like outings and outings were the most popular among scholars.What's more, there are so many elders living in seclusion on Zhongnan Mountain, taking this opportunity to hold a literary meeting here will not delay the appreciation of spring, and may attract the attention of these hermits.You can't tell which one of your articles will catch someone's eyes, and then be included in the gate wall.

Even if you can't be a teacher, if you can get a word of appreciation, that is a great blessing.

Ping An looked at it from a distance for a while, and thought that he would inevitably be a copycat today.After all, is there a more convenient and quicker way to get the other party to notice yourself than this?

However, Ping An did not intend to compete with the scholars for opportunities.He stood at a distance, so he soon found that there seemed to be a group of people not far from the opposite side watching these scholars.And among them, two or three people are the head, and the others all stand behind them as disciples.

Ping An has never met Zhao Can, but he has heard descriptions from many people, and even saw a portrait in the palace. ——Of course, without Ping An's guidance, the style of the portrait can be imagined. It is the type that often appears in history books of later generations, and it is completely impossible to connect the portrait with the real person.

However, after careful observation, one can still see that one of the three people over there looks more like Fu Yan. —— Zhang Dongyuan described it like this: thin body, clear face, sharp eyes, slightly white temples, and a few strands of beautiful beard.In short, at first glance, he looks like a poor scholar living in poverty, but after careful identification, he is quite a fairy.

...so fucking abstract.Especially the three people in front of them looked very thin, and they were wearing green robes. It is estimated that the hermits all looked about the same.

An important basis for Ping An's judgment is the beard!Among the three, one has a white face and no beard, the other has a short beard, and only one has a long beard, and he has to stroke it from time to time, obviously very fond of and satisfied with his beard.

Ping An touched there without any trace.

It happened that there was a scholar over there who was reciting the article he had just written. ——That's right, in ancient times, the Wenhui was so shameless, it didn't count when it was finished, and it had to be recited aloud for the people present to comment on.

Ping An heard that in the group next to him, from time to time, a student standing behind asked questions, and then the three people in front gave answers.

"This is the real 'Green moss marks, green grass shades, great Confucianism when talking and laughing, no white people when talking and talking'!" Ping An deliberately raised his voice, admiring loudly.

The people next to him immediately turned their heads to look over.

I have to say that most of the time, looking good is indeed very advantageous.Most of the ancient literati were very straight-faced, thinking that good-looking people must also be talented, and words like "dragon and phoenix posture" were created in this way.

So after looking at Ping An's appearance and estimating his age, these people smiled more sincerely.

"This little friend..." The white-faced middle-aged man walked two steps towards this side, and said with a smile, "Could you come over and talk to me?"

"I dare not refuse an invitation from an elder." Ping An walked over with a smile.I gave myself 32 likes in my heart, this pretense must be a perfect score!

When he walked over, the other party immediately asked, "Could it be you who wrote the poem my little friend recited just now?"

"The old man was joking, the young man is young and arrogant, how can he write such delicate characters?" Ping An said, "I read it elsewhere before, and I just sighed, and then I remembered it. It is suitable for this situation."

"Oh? I wonder if there are other parts?"

"Of course there are." That is, he has to think about some inappropriate places and how to correct them.For example, Zhuge Lu in Nanyang, Ziyun Pavilion in Xishu, etc...

Using this as an intervention point, Ping An successfully penetrated into the enemy's interior.However, he has been very low-key since then.After all, compared with other people's real talents and learning, although there are many poems and articles in his mind, the actual style is not uniform.For these literati, it is very easy to hear it.Ping An didn't have the confidence to write so many fine-grained things. Others not only didn't doubt it, they kept applauding it.

Therefore, good steel should be used wisely.

What followed went well.But what disappointed Ping An was that Fu Yan seemed to be in a low mood all the time, and was silent most of the time, and Ping An didn't talk to him at all.

But the middle-aged man with white face and beardless, named Feng Zhang, also a university student who thought he was famous all over the world, seemed to appreciate Ping An.

Adhering to the attitude that it's fine to have no fish or shrimp (...), Ping An has been working hard to get closer to Feng Zhang all the way.

When the day ended smoothly, Ping An saw that the time was almost up, so he made an "unreasonable request" to Feng Zhang for a visit.Then successfully got the license.

Today is just an appetizer, tomorrow is dinner.Whether he can succeed or not depends on how good his deception is.

Speaking of this, Pingan suddenly remembered that he was clearly a technical manager in modern times. I don’t know why after coming to ancient times, he became more and more able to fool around...
