Chapter 644 Dongfang Shuo of the Song Dynasty

If you don't listen to the old man's words, you will suffer the consequences. So Su You happily decided to enjoy the time of being a spoiled son-in-law in Shi Mansion.

Su Xiaomei was still in the capital, and Su You wanted to bring her to Shifu. However, when she arrived in front of the current Royal Academy, where Zhao Xu lived, she was stopped by an emissary, who said that the mountain chief had said that the clan members would study until the second day of the twelfth lunar month.

Seventeen!

It’s so inhumane, the winter vacation is only 18 days long! After New Year’s Eve, everyone has to go back to class again!

Moreover, judging from the look on the emissary's face, Chief Su Shan was quite prestigious, and there were two unlucky clan members at the door. I heard they were punished for being late.

Punishment! Stand! Zhao Xu hides at the gate of his residence! This is such an embarrassment!

Moreover, Su You knew both of them, one big and one small, the big one was twenty-year-old, he had a child, he was the son of the Zhao Zonge family, Zhao Zhongqian.

The younger one has a clever and clever look on his face. Zhao Xiaoyi, the younger brother of Zhao Xu, is only six years old.

Zhao Zhongqian now also changed his literary qualifications and found a job in Huangsong Bank. When he saw Su You, he immediately covered his face with his sleeves to show his shame.

Zhao Xiaoyi was not afraid, and looked at Su You curiously: "Are you Su Tanhua, the elder brother of the county commander?"

Su You smiled and joked to Zhao Zhongqian: "Hey, you two are on duty today? No, Zhongqian, didn't you transfer to liberal arts? Oh, I understand, this is to send your nephew to study, right?"

Zhao Zhongqian's face turned red: "Mingrun, please don't laugh at me. I went out early and met this living ancestor. If you don't want to make a fuss about sharing the car with me, just go with me in the same car. If you don't make a fuss about eating peach cakes from Daxiangguo Temple,

Isn’t it too late…”

Zhao Zonge has been honest recently. First, after the salt scandal in Jinmingchi, Tang Jie found out about corruption and eliminated Tong Zhongshu's subordinate Ping Zhangshi. It was Su You who suggested that the clan should retain some dignity, and then he got the job of supervisor of Huangsong Bank.

Then Wang Anshi cut down the clan regulations and suffered another round of harassment. However, Zhao Xu saw that his uncle had performed well recently and reinstated him as envoy and appointed him as Da Zongzheng. He regained power.

However, it is hard to change the nature of a country. Da Zong tried every means to put his sons into banks, municipal affairs and other vacated departments. He even let one of his sons buy a leather shop in Zhengzhou, but he was so shameless in his efforts.

As for Zhao Xu's third brother, Zhao Kai, he does not dance like the second child who is favored by Gao Taotao. He usually follows the rules and likes calligraphy, painting, and medicine. Now he is helping the empress dowagers of the two palaces with charity affairs and is in charge of the production of patent medicines.

As a result, none of their sons looked like their father. Zhao Zonge's sons were all considered responsible and worthy of the salary given by the company.

Zhao Kai's son is quite famous in Beijing for being naughty and mischievous.

However, it is acceptable for children to be naughty. Su You felt that this boy had the same style as he did back then.

He took out a bamboo tube from his schoolbag and asked Zhao Xiaoyi, "Is your tooth okay?"

Zhao Xiaoyi opened his mouth: "But it's okay."

Su You threw the bamboo tube to him: "Weizhou beef tendon! If you are a man, you have to chew this!"

Zhao Xiaoyi took out a piece and threw it into his mouth. He chewed it twice and couldn't bite it anymore. He refused to show weakness: "It smells good!"

Su You was too lazy to pay attention to the naughty kid and asked Zhao Zhongqian: "Have you become obsessed with Sichuan cuisine recently?"

Zhao Zhongqian wondered: "What?"

Su You was overjoyed: "Otherwise, why would you come back to eat twice-cooked pork?"

Speaking of this, Zhao Zhongqian became depressed: "Mingrun can trick me to death! You asked Shen Cunzhong to take that "Zhang Tian Fa Shi". The officials were overjoyed and said that the clan has been trained in science and engineering, so they can contribute to this matter, and issued an order

Allocate manpower from the clans that have been transferred to the civil service to inspect the average land tax in various places."

"Brother, it's okay to use the abacus. This geometry has always been passed by copying the 21st brother. The official decree also said that it must pass the assessment, so I had to go back to the furnace."

Su You squinted at his waist: "Then let me give you a trick. The jade pendant on your waist belongs to me."

Zhao Zhongqian was a little reluctant to give up, but he still felt cruel after thinking about it: "This is the treasure of Sikong Tu in the late Tang Dynasty."

Sikong Tu could not help the world and save the people, he only knew how to avoid it. Emperor Ai of the Tang Dynasty was killed. He went on a hunger strike and vomited blood and died. He was a typical example of someone who committed suicide to serve his country despite his lack of ability and character.

However, his "Twenty-Four Poems" pioneered poetry criticism and had a huge influence on later generations.

Su You took the jade pendant. On it was a bas-relief landscape. Compared with the exquisite carvings of today's foot-operated jade-cutting machines, Su You's craftsmanship was nothing more than primitive. He smiled and said: "'An image outside the image.

The view outside the scene.’ It’s kind of interesting.”

Zhao Zhongqian said anxiously: "A way! Please tell me a way quickly!"

Su You put the jade pendant in his bag: "Why don't you take the initiative to go to Shaanxi? The measurements there have already been made clearly, and the account books and pictures are complete. You are just going to go through the motions, and you have to not avoid hardships.

The reputation of being loyal and diligent in the affairs of the king! No one would dare to take this job. If you jump out and take the job, you will definitely be exempted from the exam!"

Zhao Zhongqian's eyes widened: "Don't trick me. It's so close to Xixia, and there's such a thing as Qingtang."

Su You rolled his eyes: "Then you don't believe in my ability? Shaanxi has expanded 100,000 hectares of land, and there are basically no customers. How can you find such good land in Manchuria and Song Dynasty? I can tell you that there are hundreds of hectares of land in Beijing.

It's a good oxen, and Lang Duyuan only needs a dozen or so guan to win it. There are also horses, four-foot-six-inch horses are top-quality goods in the capital, and they are used to farm the land there."

"When I go to Beijing this time, do you know what the most expensive product I brought with me is? It's not the cans on the cart, but the animals pulling the cart!"

"Now the north of Shaanxi is as stable as iron barrels. Wang Shao is fighting in Qingtang. Across the Xihe and Qinfeng roads, Shaanxi is as stable as Mount Tai!"

This is a way for the cadres who support the frontiers to gain both face and dignity when life gets better in future generations. I won’t tell the average person!

Zhao Zhongqian also thought about it and said with a smile: "Then today's stop was not in vain, it was worth it!"

I heard a muttering child's voice saying: "Uncle, if you don't buy me the Xiangguo Temple cake, I will report you!"

Su You and Zhao Zhongqian looked at each other and smiled, "If you don't report it, we will still worry about the suspicion of the officials!" They cursed together: "Speak, adults, and leave the little brat alone!"

But the little sister couldn't pick her up, so the girl decided that Su You had to go back and visit the Liu family.

When it comes to what the intellectuals of the Song Dynasty need most nowadays, the first is glasses and the second is gas lamps.

However, when they arrived at the Liu Mansion, they found out that Liu Ye was no longer in the capital, and Su You only saw Liu Fengshi.

Upon inquiry, it turned out that Liu Xun was demoted from the capital by Wang Anshi.

Liu Shuo was extremely knowledgeable, but his humor was unbridled, and he was a figure like Dongfang Shuo.

When he was in the third hall with Sun Jue and Sun Zhu, Sun Jue once asked Liu Ye for calligraphy, but the clerk mistakenly gave the calligraphy to Sun Zhu.

Sun Jue did not receive the work and blamed Liu Ye for not keeping his word. When things became clear, Liu Ye said to his colleagues, how about we identify the two bachelors by their beards.

My colleague thought it was funny and said, "Both of them have big beards, aren't they the same?"

Liu Xun pretended to think for a while: "In addition to their height, Mr. Xin is fat and long, Juyuan is short and small, and both of them have beards. From now on, we will call them Da Husun ​​and Xiao Husun."

Colleagues were defeated, and the two nicknames really spread.

Wang Fen and Liu Xun were good friends in the same building. Wang Fen stuttered, so Liu Xun laughed at him casually: "I'm afraid he is from the Chang family, but I doubt he is a member of the family. He doesn't have a great reputation, but only smells moxa."

List four famous people who stutter in one go: Zhou Chang, Han Fei, Yang Xiong, and Deng Ai.

But the homophonic meanings are irritating - prostitutes, gangsters, Ai Qi is a fool, and every word is not a good word.

However, this was not too much. One day, Liu Ye saw an internal edict from Zhao Xu and ran to Wang Fen and said, "I heard that you are going to change into a red robe, so I came here to congratulate you."

Wang Fen was surprised: "There is no decree?"

Liu Xun said: "Yes, yes. I heard the messenger's report this morning. If you don't believe me, go and ask."

Wang Fen secretly asked people to ask, but the servants came back and said that the officials did have a decree, but it was just - "The tombs of the kings must be painted with red mud."

Wangfen has the same pronunciation as Wangfen.

Wang Fen was so resentful that once when he went to court with Liu Xun, he heard the shouting of the squad and thought that the opportunity for revenge had arrived, so he said to Liu Xun: "His Royal Highness Zi Chen calls you frequently."

As a result, Liu Ye responded and said, "Hanshi Yuantou has seen you many times."

Wang Fen was so shocked that he rolled his eyes.
