Dress to be a celebrity

The Bingwu annual meeting is scheduled for the first trial on the eighth day of February.

More than [-] examinees from all over the country have successively arrived in Beijing since the second half of last year. By the eve of the examination, the guild halls, inns, monasteries, Taoist temples, and common people's houses inside and outside the capital were almost full, and it was difficult to find a house.

But a few days before the exam, there are still a group of students with weathered faces rushing from the west, carrying money everywhere looking for a place to stay.

But the day of the big exam is approaching, where can I find a guest room?

They asked around outside the west city, and those guys didn't try to recruit them, and pointed them out: "Nowadays, even the mountain temples and Taoist temples outside the city may not be able to vacate houses, and gentlemen don't have to look for guest houses everywhere, it's better to find a few people." Officials from Shaanxi, ask them to borrow a small house for shelter."

These people who make a living in the inn have a wide range of connections, so they naturally know which officials are from Shaanxi. After collecting a few dollars from them, they wrote a post and asked them to go to a certain street in the inner city to find someone.

After passing the checkpoints and entering the city gate, the group discussed to stay at the nearest Shaanxi Ministry of Industry Ambassador's house, and if they couldn't fit in, they would look elsewhere.It's just that the weather was not beautiful, and before walking a few streets, a cold rain fell from the sky, and the wind blew against the window panes of the carriage.

Spring rain is as expensive as oil, but driving and finding a place to live in spring rain is not a good experience.

The road in Jingli is paved with loess, unlike the tarmac road in Hanzhong Mansion, which becomes soft after being soaked in water for a long time, and the wheels get stuck in the mud, walking extremely slowly.It's not too early at this time, and it's covered with overcast clouds for a long time, I'm afraid it will be completely dark before Shen Shitian, and they haven't found the next place yet, so why not be in a hurry?

Not only the students in the car, but also the driver who was driving the car was in a hurry, and said under the rain that couldn't be covered by the bamboo hat: "The weather in this capital is too cold, and our Hanzhong Mansion can grow Master Song's experimental rice at this time. It’s too cold to handle!”

The drivers in front and behind also echoed: "It is said that Beijing is prosperous, but the road is not as easy as ours in Hanzhong. If it is in Hanzhong, let alone such a light rain. Last summer and autumn, there were several heavy rains, and I have never heard of it washing the road surface soft!"

"If you are in Hanzhong, there will be a road sign on the side of the road when you enter the city, which says which road we are ahead of us, and how many miles we have to turn... Anyone who doesn't know the way can go to the place, which is more convenient than finding people in Beijing. Woolen cloth."

They talked about the convenience of Hanzhong, and picked out countless faults in this prosperous and prosperous capital, which attracted pedestrians, carriages and horses in front of and behind the motorcade to look at them.It was only through a layer of soft smoke and cold rain that the lethality of their eyes was weakened. These coachmen talked to themselves, and they didn't come back to their senses until they heard the crisp sound of knocking on the glass and the low and dignified questioning voice in their ears——

"You guys are from Hanzhong Mansion? The one in the car is an exam candidate? Do you recognize Song Zhifu?"

The students in the car heard the sound of questioning outside through the glass, and because they heard the word "Song Zhifu", they hurriedly opened the window that was blurred by the rain, and looked at the man through the rain.

The man was wearing a seventh-grade blue men's suit, with a handsome appearance and a three-strand beard. He squinted slightly and looked at the people in the car, as if evaluating their identities.An experienced student in the car quickly responded on behalf of everyone: "I am a candidate from Shaanxi, and I have had the honor of meeting the prefect of Song several times. I don't know your Excellency..."

Behind him, a Hanzhong Juzi suddenly called out: "This official looks like Mr. Song!"

Everyone in the car subconsciously tried to recall Song Shi's appearance, the official's expression also changed, and he raised his eyebrows and said, "You really are from Hanzhong."

No, not all of them are from Hanzhong.Many of them are not even from Shaanxi. They just passed the exam at Hanzhong College, had a farewell banquet hosted by the prefect of Song Dynasty, and paid a few liang of silver for the autumn breeze.

The officer chasing the car laughed and said: "It seems that my third brother has done a little bit of praise in his tenure in Hanzhong Mansion. At least one of the education can be regarded as a success."

He turned out to be the elder brother of Song Zhifu, and now he is a member of Zhongshushe in the cabinet. On the way back from work, he was blocked by drizzle, and met these students by accident.Like Song Zhifu, he was as anxious and generous as he was to take care of the scholars. He heard that they had delayed coming to Beijing to apply for Hanzhong College, so they couldn't find a job now, so he took the initiative to invite them to stay at home for a while.

Although their family is not very rich, they bought an open space on the west side, and there are still some empty houses for people to live in.

This group of students was worrying about whom to stay overnight, fearing that they would not be able to rest well in the past few days and delay their exams.Now that the elder brother of Song Zhifu descended from heaven to take them home to stay overnight, how could there be any objection?

He hastily said thanks, and followed Song Yun back to the Song family.

Master Song came back in a carriage, and was still dawdling behind. It was Lao Yiren and his brothers who made the decisions in the family, and directly arranged these cases in the guest courtyard on the west side.

The courtyard was supposed to be reserved for Huan Ling, the main room and the side rooms were all cleaned up, and even a small study room was arranged.It's a pity that ever since Huan Ling stepped into their house, he has been sleeping next to Song Shi. The guest room was left for nothing after it was installed, and only occasionally entertained relatives from his hometown.

Speaking of which, he lived in Sipinqianxian's courtyard, and the people who lived there were glorious.

For example, these borrowers live in the courtyard of Mr. Huan according to the legend, as if they are covered with a halo of the top ten of the second-tier armor.Then I went to visit the Kuayuan where Song Zhifu lived and met Sanyuan's father and brother.

The Song family was also very happy to have won this group of candidates, and asked them about the situation in Hanzhong, the favorable policies and achievements made in the mansion during the Song Dynasty.

After all, many of these students were from Hanzhong Prefecture, and some of them knew the research studies of Hanzhong College. They had borrowed their lecture notes and textbooks.

I really don't know what to say... How can I make them stop saying things they don't understand...

Master Song watched his two sons secretly, and the two sons looked at each other, but in the end it was still the second brother Song who was clever and sent someone to call his son and nephews.

Come on, it was taught by your third uncle and third uncle Huan, discuss it with the brothers in Hanzhong!

The three younger brothers of the Song family, who are in the primary stage of algebra learning and plan to keep it for a long time, were shocked by the knowledge of physics, chemistry, geography, and agronomy discussed by Hanzhong students.

It turned out that their third uncle and third uncle Huan had been merciful when they taught them.

It turns out that the third uncle and the others know so much, they can be regarded as astronomy and geography, but they only learned a little superficially, and they feel that they are too tired to learn?

These scholars have only been studying with the two uncles for a year or two, and what they have learned is going to surpass the three brothers?

Their brothers are too slack!

After all the children finished their dinner, they discussed enough about the knowledge of heaven and man, and went back to the other courtyard to rest contentedly. Song Lin also recovered from this setback, and said to his father and grandfather, "these things children have never learned. However, we are not worthy of our father and uncle's attention. I also hope that my father will write a letter to my third uncle, asking him to send more questions next time, so that we can learn as soon as possible, and study physics and chemistry like those senior brothers. "

Both his father and uncle praised him very much, and comforted him, saying, "It's good that Lin'er has such a heart. Your three uncles refused to teach it before. It must be because you are young. You need to lay a solid foundation in arithmetic before you can learn more advanced things." knowledge."

But they will write when they should.If you are a father, you are afraid that your children will not like to learn. How can you see that your children want to learn and not give them opportunities?

With the support of his father's generation, Xiao Song was full of ambition and bowed deeply to his father and second uncle, but he didn't notice that the two younger brothers standing beside him were a little frightened, and could only look at the adults in a daze.

But even the grandfather who always loved and indulged them didn't come out and say "don't learn those things", but happily ordered to kill chickens, cut meat, buy ducks and geese, and go to Rongqingzhai to buy Nantang and snacks. Reward your grandchildren for their eagerness to learn.

The fish and snacks I bought were not only for them to eat, but also for the Hanzhong students who came to stay.Uncle Song is also the one who will end this year. He is closer to these examinees, practicing against each other with the two sets of questions in Beijing and Hanzhong, trying to seize the review time in the last few days before the exam.

Entering Longmen on the morning of February [-], the fate of all the candidates in the world was decided in the examination room which was too small to turn around in the Gong Yuan.

The three exams were presided over by Mr. Li Ge, the deputy examiner was a bachelor of the Imperial Academy, the house examiner, and the supervisor were all carefully selected by the Imperial Academy, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Ministry of Rites.Although the second prince, King Qi, was on a errand in the Ministry of Rituals, he was not on the verge of the talent ceremony. Among the examiners selected by the court, several of them were disciples of his third brother's family.

However, the prospecting, beneficiation, and transshipment work in his hands were mediocre.Fortunately, Xiong Yushi and the workers he brought from Hanzhong were in charge of prospecting and beneficiation, so there was no difficulty.But because the place to build the factory is near running water, and the site is far away from the mining area, the operation cost is high and the transportation is less. His younger brother often hints to others that the Jingli Economic Park is not as good as Hanzhong. Disadvantages of running ore.

Later, he had to spend his own money to increase the transport capacity and manpower to meet their needs for building kilns and factories. However, the servants under his third brother's command also reported that he spent too much money transporting ore materials, which was against the economy. Yuan Yuan meant so much... as if he and the Shang family hadn't posted capital in it!

His younger brother even wanted to build a factory building according to the prince's rules. Thanks to the hard work of the two censors who supervised the construction, otherwise, I don't know how long it would take to build each gate of the garden.

Although he also countered that Wei Wang's construction of the economic park was slow and a waste of labor and materials, but even if it was argued who paid more and who made more mistakes, it was of no benefit.It can only make their elder brother manage the feudal land better - although it can't be called a feudal land yet, in his heart, he only hopes that this elder brother will not return to Beijing again.

How could the Hanzhong Economic Park be built quickly and well, without Mr. Song himself subsidizing it?Is there no other way to accomplish this except to recall Song Shi back to Beijing...

The king of Qi called his subordinates to discuss how to reduce costs, make things in hand more perfect, and earn face in front of his father.This is especially true for King Wei, who now presides over the affairs of the economic park, thinking that he can make contributions and win the favor.He even doubted whether the economic park in the Song Dynasty was really so easy to build, and whether it was really as profitable as the Hanzhong newspaper reported.

Could it be that Song Shi, in order to promote his Neo-Confucianism of "thorough workers and peasants can benefit business", secretly invested money and people to pile up the reputation of this economic park?

Not only did he think so, but on March 3000th, the last [-] candidates for the mid-term examination who were screened out from more than [-] candidates across the country opened the palace examination questions, and saw questions that were similar to what he had in mind:

At first, there were two sayings in the court, "thick business and benefit agriculture", "agriculture-oriented and business-based", and then Hanzhong government built an economic park to promote industry and commerce to benefit farmers.Let me ask you how to truly support the people, make the country prosperous and the agriculture prosperous.

All the examinees in the hall were reading the questions according to the case, but Song Xiao stood at an inconspicuous desk in the corner of the hall, holding the pen tightly, his chest heaving violently: Hanzhong Economic Park, Houshang Yilinong... This is not me Did brother do it?
