Chen Zhen wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his hand: "Yes, sir, let's go in and talk about the food in the academy!"

Su You asked Liu Si, Zhang Qi, and Qidi Longshan in the team to take the prey to Kelongli for processing, and then he entered the academy with Chen Zuchaogu.

A few people sat down, A'tun Yuanzhen served tea, and Long Changqi said to Chen Zhen: "Ji Chang, I used to be very demanding of you. Now that you have graduated from the academy, you don't have to be so cautious anymore. You are a heroic hero."

Be responsible and don't let your husband lose his temper."

Chen Zhen was still very embarrassed: "I have failed to live up to the expectations of the mountain leader. My father has already said that I am not a student and cannot follow the path of the Chen family."

Long Changqi said: "It doesn't matter, just like Yuan Xiu, even if he fails to study, he can always serve the country. In fact, not studying is not necessarily a bad thing..."

Chaogu giggled: "Back then in the Academy, Ji Chang and I were the ones who were punished the most. What the mountain chief says now is quite different from usual."

Long Changqi sighed and said: "Wen Kuanfu is in charge of the government. He recommended me to Your Majesty, and the officials asked for my works. I am nearly ninety years old, and I still want to go to the capital. It's not just to make people laugh. Kuanfu is letting me go."

Roast on the fire..."

Su Youkai explained: "I'm only worried about the health of the mountain leader. The mountain leader's knowledge is so sophisticated that the Dali Prime Minister Xiao Gao wishes he could learn from you. He is also afraid that your majesty will ask if I will arrange a big ship in Meizhou for you. Will the ship sail smoothly?

You can talk and move freely."

Long Changqi asked: "Mingrun, you have decided to take part in the autumn exam next year."

Su You asked: "Shan Zhang, do you think I can participate?"

Long Changqi said: "You have mastered the Analects of Confucius and the Classic of Filial Piety before you were six years old, and now it is six years more. All the teachers you have met are famous teachers.

Used by the world."

"In the past two years, I have been very focused and have made rapid progress. Let your cousin think about it for another two years. It won't be a problem to be fooled by knowledge. The main thing is the state of mind. From the poem just now, I can see that you are ready."

Chen Zhen took a sip of tea and spat it out: "Ahem, cough, cough...it turns out that the mountain chief has long known that the poem was written by Mingrun."

Long Changqi rolled his eyes: "I was at the gate of the academy just now to save you some face. You are the only one in the group who is the oldest, and you still don't know who is the youngest...the oldest is almost the same!"

Atun Yuanzhen pointed to his nose: "I, the mountain chief, am the youngest among them!"

Su You smiled and said: "Yes, yes, that poem was written about you."

Long Changqi said to Atun Yuanzhen: "If you don't teach, life is light and career is light. It is a good sentence and a good ambition. Yuanzhen, if you do this, this poem is written by you."

Adun Yuanzhen bowed down to receive the instruction, and Su You said: "My cousin Mingyun also said that I am almost ready. It was Zhang Xueshi who told me before he left that I should be very sure before I can enter the capital."

Long Changqi smiled and said: "Xueshi Zhang is worthy of being a Prime Minister, but this is an imperial examination and civil affairs, and it is not a salary inspection. How dare you say that you are very sure? Don't you often say that witticism? In the eyes of a hundred people, there are a hundred.

Li Taibai. If you feel confident, then that’s fine."

Su You suddenly realized: "In that case, I will go to the capital next year to prepare for the exam!"

…

"History of the Song Dynasty": In the third year of Jiayou, in June Bingwu, Wen Yanbo and Jia Changchao were dismissed. Fu Bi was appointed as the bachelor of Zhaowen Hall, Han Qi was appointed as the bachelor of Zhongshu Menxia, ​​Ping Zhangshi, the bachelor of Jixian Palace, Song Xiang, and Tian Kuang were appointed as privy councilors.

The envoy, Zhang Wei, is the Deputy Privy Envoy.

Guisi, because there was a drought on the road to Kuizhou, he sent envoys to appease the people.

On the first day of the eighth lunar month, there was an eclipse. Gengshen and Peng Shixi led their troops to surrender.

Peng Shixi, a native official of Xiaxi Prefecture in the Song Dynasty. Peng Ru Mengzi, the governor of Xiaxi Prefecture. In the seventh year of Tiansheng, he was ordered by his brother Peng Shiduan to pay tribute to Fangwu.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, his elder brother died, and his successor became the governor of Xiaxi Prefecture.

In the second year of Huangyou's reign, his son Peng Shibao's wife was taken away, and he was resentful for his son.

In the second year of Zhihe, Shibao and his clan went to Chenzhou, sued him for taking away his children and wives, and swore to kill the generals of thirteen states, and seized the seals from the land. He named himself "King Ruyi" and replaced his officials with the intention of plotting rebellion.

The imperial court sent tens of thousands of troops including Song Shouxin, the magistrate of Chenzhou, to attack Shi Xi, but failed to capture him. They captured his slaves and carried the bronze pillars from Xizhou back. They then transferred the deputy envoy of the Third Division, Li Shen, and others to recruit heavy troops.

After being summoned, I have since made no objection. He has arrogated the title and supplemented his official position, which is due to ignorance of the etiquette of the Song Dynasty. I am willing to use the old land of twenty states to pay tribute.

In the third year of Jiayou's reign, they rebelled again, and Han Cunbao went to conquer, but failed. General Adun Lie, the returning general, resumed his expedition and captured him.

The imperial court received the imperial edict. Shi Xi returned the 51 plundered soldiers and more than 1,800 weapons and armor, and surrendered with a crowd of 700 people drinking blood. The Chenzhou government also returned the slaves and bronze pillars.

…

The news about Sitong Company was faster than the court. When the tabloids came back, Chen Zhen was so angry that he drew his sword and chopped down the table: "Alie Gan took a strange risk and broke into the White Horse Cliff at night, and then he caught this bastard. The court actually put it back like this." Got it!"

Su You was holding a tea cup in his hand, but now he had no place to put it. He said angrily: "The imperial court is so pissed off. This time it is considered a failure. But what should Brother Chao do?"

This matter was caused by Han Cunbao. The Western Army went first. He actually promised Peng Shixi a generous salary without the approval of the court.

After Peng Shixi surrendered, Han Cunbao failed to fulfill his promise, which made Peng Shixi dissatisfied, so he rebelled, defended the village, and attacked the army.

Adun Lie arrived later and attacked Baima Village at night, finally putting an end to the rebellion.

Afterwards, the imperial court was furious, and the officials personally issued an edict to reward Adun Lie and punish Han Cunbao.

Han Cunbao was offended, so he was arrested. He expected to die, and said to Chaogu: "I am a warrior in Jingyuan, and I don't regret dying. My wife is cold and hungry. There are hundreds of taels of silver in the bag. I don't want you to leave it behind."

Chaogu was righteous, that is, he made a promise, changed his name, walked with money in his arms, went to give birth to his son, and then disappeared.

Chen Zhen returned the sword to its sheath: "The news about Wangyuge, Yuan Xiu finally disappeared between the Jianghuai River and I'm afraid I won't be able to find him for a while."

Su You sighed: "Wait...his crime is not serious. He will always come back when the amnesty period comes. Alas...but at Mr. Long's place, if Mr. Wen is gone, things will probably happen again."

…

In the fourth year of Jiayou's reign, it's already February. Let's stop talking about tea.

In the third month of the 18th month of the 18th month, officials were ordered to reduce the civil science rate with the three departments.

In the fifth month of the 18th month of the 18th month, he ordered all the roads to be appeased, transferred to the envoys, and appointed three officials in each department who had practical political affairs to prepare for promotion. Yizhou Road selected Zhang Shu, Cheng Zhishao, and Tang Yan.

In addition, those who were recommended by the township for their scholarly conduct were inspected and heard by the senior officials. Su Xun, Du Minqiu and Su You were recommended by Yizhou Road.

Su You's name appeared seriously for the first time in an official document of the imperial court.

…

But these are things for later. Now that Sha Yu is traveling to the Su family, Mrs. Cheng is extremely worried.

Both sons were awarded Jinshi, and they were very happy. However, there was no one to look after the house.

The Su family's industry is not small now, because Su Xiaomei and Su Baniang have solved two problems in brocade weaving using science and engineering.

Shu brocade is a kind of jacquard brocade. It is made of cooked silk. The warp and weft ratio of the fabric is appropriate, the pattern is clear, the colors are rich, the pattern is full, and the craftsmanship is exquisite.

The weaving technology is divided into two categories: warp brocade and weft brocade. Among them, the warp brocade technology is unique to Shu brocade, using multiple colorful warp flowers.

The current technology still uses the Hualou loom with heddle jacquard.

The loom was brought to Meishan by merchants from Yizhou and was regarded as an important part of the sericulture chapter of Su You's agricultural book. The scientific research team quickly studied the drawings and models of the loom thoroughly.

Then naturally, the Su family started this business.

According to the technical parameters and technical conditions of the Hualou loom, the pattern design is the first step in brocade weaving.

Theoretically, of course, the more complex the pattern, the better it can reflect the level of craftsmanship. However, overly complex patterns are too time-consuming and labor-intensive to make and are not cost-effective for production.

Therefore, comprehensive considerations must be taken to design a pattern that is both beautiful and effective.

Determine the number of vertical and horizontal grids in the drawing based on the number of needles on the loom, the warp and weft density of the fabric, the type and size of the pattern, and then color the pattern on the grid paper according to the pattern, and translate the design into a production-ready

The step of using drawings is called a bit of craftsmanship.

Inspired by the Su oil wax paper, Su Xiaomei invented a cardboard with many small pinholes. By spreading the cardboard on the enlarged pattern, you can get a lot of color points. Use the knob to fine-tune the pattern. Each time you adjust, the pattern will move in the direction of the pattern.

Move forward one square to get a new color point, which greatly reduces confusion and mistakes caused by extensive operations.

This step of work is actually the deconstruction of the pattern, which is very tedious. A pattern requires a thick notebook to record all the information. This notebook is called a flower notebook.

Every time a successful flower book is deconstructed, the brocade workshop will archive it and save it. In the future, weaving according to this flower book can produce brocade with the same pattern.
