The Road to the Imperial Examinations of Farmers in Ancient Times

Three days later, it was the day for the soldiers returning to Beijing to return to the border. Except for General Zhao who was specially approved by the emperor to stay in the capital for two more months, the rest of them were going back to the border.

On the day his master left Beijing, Li Wen made a special trip to see his master off, and he was still very reluctant to leave his master, "Master, if you need anything over there, please write to me and tell me. I'll find a way to get it for you."

Knowing that the master was leaving the capital this time, Li Wen also asked people to prepare more than a dozen carts of things for them to take away. There were everything in it, including food and medicinal materials, as well as weapons from the weapon workshop.

Zhao Si patted the little apprentice on the shoulder, and really felt that he had three lifetimes of good luck to meet such a good apprentice, "Okay."

Now he knows what this little apprentice is capable of. The little apprentice is no longer the little radish in his impression, but a real adult. Even a group of censors can't beat him alone. He is a good official who can really serve the people.

There are young apprentices and Prime Minister Fu here in the capital, and they don't have to worry about someone tripping them up at the border.

"Be careful on the road, and write to me more when you have time." Li Wen still held on to his master's hand.Zhao Si couldn't help laughing, raised his hand and stroked the little apprentice's head, and said, "I'm an adult now, why are I still the same as when I was a child."

"Master, people can't bear to part with you." Li Wen said with a little red eyes, pouted.

In front of this master who watched him grow up, there is no such thing as Mr. Li, he is just Li Sanbao now.

"Haha, you child. Well, the master is leaving. You are here in the capital. Be a good official and a good official for the people. The master is proud of you." Zhao Si withdrew his hand , and pulled back together with the tugged sleeve.There is a large group of people waiting for him behind, how unbecoming he is still here with the little apprentice!

Seeing the child's red eyes, Zhao Si's eyes were also a little uncomfortable, "Okay, okay, it's not like the master will come back, and the master will come back to see you when there is a chance."

"Well. When I have time, I will go to the border to see you, Master." Li Wen was already thinking about when he would be free to go to the border.But don't think about it recently, the emperor must not approve him to leave.

Li Wen looked at the young man of the foreign race who was following his master. After some disguise, the young man couldn't tell that he was a man of the foreign race.Later, he also invited Ah Qi to travel together in the capital, and took the young man to eat all the snacks and delicacies in the capital, so the two established a deep friendship, so Li Wen was sure that the young man liked his master.

"Master, if you like someone, you should respond to him. Otherwise, if you get angry with him, you will have no chance to regret it." Compared with looking at his master alone, Li Wen still hopes that his master Have a companion by your side.

He saw that his master didn't seem to be uninteresting to others, since he was interesting, then give him some feedback.If it's not interesting, then don't hang others.

"You still dare to tease me, master." Zhao Si patted the head of the little apprentice. This child dared to say anything.

"Oh..." Li Wen hid for a while, covered his head pretending to be in pain, and shouted, "It hurts so much."

Zhao Xiangyi stretched out his hand and pulled the young man to his side, looked at his fourth uncle's hand, and said, "Fourth uncle, you should go."

"..." Zhao Si, is this nephew still dear?Didn't he just hit the little apprentice, the kind that hasn't been used too hard yet?

"Okay, okay, let's go." Zhao Si waved his hand and got on his horse.

Aqi was very happy that he could make such a good friend during his trip to the capital of Dacheng. He sent an invitation to his friend, "Awen, we are leaving. If you have the opportunity to visit our tribe in the future, I will treat you to a drink." Delicious milk tea and roast lamb."

"Okay, if there is a chance in the future, I will definitely go." Li Wen replied with a smile.

Li Wen looked up at the two people sitting on horseback, and waved to them, "Master, Ah Qi, you all have a smooth journey, write me a letter when you get there."

"Okay." Zhao Si glanced at the little apprentice, looked at his nephew, smiled, waved to the two, and said, "Let's go.

"

A Qi got on his horse and followed Zhao Hao.

"Bon Voyage."

Zhao Si turned his horse's head and went to the team waiting there.

Li Wen stood at the back, looked at the people who were leaving on horseback, leaned back on Zhao Xiangyi's arm, the smile on his face disappeared, and said, "I really don't want Master and the others to leave, I don't know if they leave, When will you come back next time?"

"Always have to go." Zhao Xiangyi looked away, looked at the boy leaning against him, and said.

"Hey..." Li Wen sighed.

The long-distance team disappeared at the other end of the road, and their backs were no longer visible.

They mounted their horses and rode back to the city.

Half a month later, Li Wen proposed to the central government to reopen the door and trade with the barbarians.As soon as his proposal came out, it was opposed by some veteran officials in the court, some officials took a wait-and-see attitude, and the younger officials all supported it.

After arguing for several days about whether to open and close the door and trade with the barbarians, Li Wen silenced the officials of the opposing faction.

They had discussed this matter earlier, and the Son of Heaven could clearly see the pros and cons of this, but compared to the cons, the pros were greater.Since the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, then this matter is feasible, "So, I will leave this matter to you, Li Wen."

"The minister accepts the decree." Li Wen knelt down to receive the decree.

However, it is not so simple to reopen the door and conduct bilateral trade. You can open it as you say, and you have to do a lot of things in the early stage.It took Li Wen nearly seven days to sort out the economic agreement of bilateral cooperation and present this agreement to the emperor's desk.

At the same time, it is suggested to the emperor to invite special envoys from various tribes to Dacheng to discuss and discuss the cooperation between the two sides in trade. After the agreement on cooperation between the two sides is signed, the door can be opened and the two sides can trade.

Compared with a trade method without chaotic rules, the signing of formal documents is more guaranteed, so that even if something happens in the future, they will have reasons and evidence, and they can better handle the conflicts between the two sides.

After reading the excerpt written by Li Wen, the emperor nodded and said, "Yes."

After discussion, the imperial court sent special envoys to various tribes in the grassland to deliver invitation letters, and invited envoys from various ministries to go to Dacheng to discuss cooperation and trade between the two sides.

In April, the special envoys sent by the imperial court set off from the capital, and it took at least two months to return to the capital.At this time, the construction of the department store in the South District has already started.

In addition, there is the matter of establishing a university. The officials in the DPRK and China did not have much objection to this matter, so it was passed smoothly.

Li Wen didn't come back from the outside until after dark, almost slumped on the chair and didn't want to move, "I'm so exhausted." Can he not be tired? Now he is doing the work of three people alone, and every morning is early He went out, ran outside all day, and only came back at night.

In comparison, Zhao Xiangyi was not so busy.

The servant brought up the food, Zhao Xiangyi waved his hand to let people go down, looked at the person sitting there motionless, and said, "Come and eat something."

"I don't want to move." Li Wen waved his hand and instructed, "Pour me a glass of water, I want to drink water."

Mr. Li, who was domineering outside, asked General Zhao to pour him a glass of water as soon as he returned home. Only Master Li dared to ask General Zhao to pour water.

Zhao Xiangyi was already used to the way the two of them got along, knowing that the young man was exhausted from a busy day outside.Picking up the teapot, he poured a glass of water for the young man, and handed it to the young man. Seeing that the young man refused to pick it up, he had to feed the water to the young man's mouth.

side.

"More." Li Wen looked up at the man and said.

"Eat." After drinking so much water, I won't be able to eat after a while.

Having said that, Zhao Xiangyi poured another half glass of water for the young man. This time Li Wen took the glass by himself and sat down at the table to eat after drinking half a glass of water, "Don't wait for me next time. Come back, you eat first, I am busy here, so I came back very late."

"Nothing." Zhao Xiangyi said, "I'll wait for you to come back."

Candles were lit inside the house, and it was already dark outside.

The two sat down to eat across the table. All the dishes on the table were Li Wen's favorite. He put a shrimp ball in his mouth, "Mm, delicious." After eating something delicious, Li Wen Put one into Zhao Xiangyi's bowl, gave the man a smile, and said, "You eat too."

Zhao Xiangyi looked at the extra shrimp balls in the bowl, hummed lightly, picked them up and put them into his mouth.

Since the opening of water transportation, there are still roads under construction, and goods from all over the country can be sent to the capital quickly. The goods and goods in the capital are richer and fresher than before.

After the two of them had dinner, they sat outside in the gazebo to enjoy the shade. Li Wen leaned on Zhao Xiangyi's shoulder, looked up at the night sky, pointed to the twinkling stars in the sky, and told the man what star it was.

Following the direction of the young man's finger, Zhao Xiangyi looked up, remembering what kind of star the young man mentioned, and asked, "Why do you

How do you know? "

"I'm smart." Master Li said this shamelessly.

Li Wen turned his head to look at the man behind him, their eyes met, he leaned over and kissed the man on the lips.He wouldn't tell this man that these were what his grandma told him in the previous life, and some of them were knowledge he read from physics books.

As the night wind blew, the two figures in the gazebo leaned against each other, and there were two overlapping shadows on the ground...
