Zhao Ning pretended to be confused and said: "Which layman Yi'an?"

"Of course it's Mr. Li who was so talented and talented back then."

"It turned out to be her."

Qian Jinshu suddenly stopped, turned around and looked at Zhao Ning, and said seriously: "Mr. Li just experienced the pain of his husband's death not long ago. He was in a depressed mood and didn't want to come out. I invited him several times."

She was obviously reminding Zhao Ning that Li Qingzhao had just lost her husband and was not in a very good condition. She should be careful when speaking later to avoid hurting others.

Zhao Ning nodded.

He naturally knew that national security determines personal destiny, which was most vividly demonstrated at the turn of the Song Dynasty.

Li Qingzhao lived a prosperous life in her early years, so the lyrics she wrote are as follows:

It was rainy and windy last night, and I couldn't get rid of the remaining wine after a deep sleep. I tried asking the people behind the curtain, but the crabapples were still the same. Do you know, do you know? They should be green, fat, red and thin.

It can be seen that the girl in the boudoir loves to drink. After getting drunk, she wakes up the next day and asks her maid how the situation is outside.

There is also this: I often remember that it was sunset at the creek pavilion, and I was so drunk that I didn't know the way back. I returned to the boat late after my excitement, and strayed into the depths of the lotus flowers. I fought for the crossing, and I was startled by a pool of gulls and herons.

It can be seen that Li Qingzhao was a little drunkard when he was a girl. While drinking, he admired the clean and elegant natural scenery.

After the humiliation of Jingkang, Li Qingzhao fled to the south and wrote the following words:

Searching and searching, it is deserted and miserable. It is most difficult to take a breath when it is warm but still cold. How can three glasses and two glasses of light wine defeat him? It is late and the wind is blowing! The wild goose is passing by, and I am sad, but it is the old days.

acquaintance.

Zhao Ning asked: "Are you familiar with layman Yi An?"

Qian Jinshu smiled and said: "I am her student."

"Jushi Yi An is now..."

Qian Jinshu looked very happy, like a lively lark. She said: "I teach at the University of Tokyo. She arrived in July this year. Rumor has it that she was appointed to teach at the University of Tokyo."

Zhao Ning did mention it to the Ministry of Rites and asked them to invite Li Qingzhao to teach at the University of Tokyo.

Zhao Ning said: "Didn't you apply for business school when you entered the University of Tokyo?"

Qian Jinshu said: "I love poetry more."

"Why?" Zhao Ning became curious.

Mrs. Qian is very talented and has a thorough understanding of the problem. He thought that after this girl entered the University of Tokyo, she would go to business school.

The business school's current "Song Assembly Line Strategy" is very popular. Many students who graduated this year are said to have been hired by some private businessmen with high salaries.

This was also very common in the Song Dynasty.

The Song Dynasty had developed commerce and did not discriminate against businessmen. It was also an era that valued literature, but not every literati could be a Jinshi.

There are thousands of scholars who have failed to pass the exam, and they still have to live.

So he taught, wrote, was hired by some businessmen, was hired as an official by some yamen, etc.

In Zhao Ning's eyes, Qian Jinshu should go to the University of Tokyo for further studies and then develop the family business.

However, Qian Jinshu said: "Poetry can express personal feelings and self-seeking. I believe that this is what I thought when I asked Mr. Li to come to the University of Tokyo."

“Is it important to seek oneself?”

"It is of course important to seek oneself. Things in the world are impermanent. Only by adhering to one's nature can one start well and end well. Besides, one must always have some leisure and fun, otherwise a long life will be boring."

Zhao Ning said: "You mean, only by staying true to your original intention can you succeed?"

Qian Jinshu was surprised and praised: "What Mr. Zhao said is very true. This is the truth."

In fact, Zhao Ning not only hired Li Qingzhao to attend the University of Tokyo, he also hired countless writers, thinkers, and artists of this era to attend the University of Tokyo.

A strong country cannot only have force, but also has a profound cultural heritage.

If there is no force, if the people only know how to fight and kill, show off their courage and fight ruthlessly, do not cultivate their inner talents, and do not know how to think, how are they any different from barbarians?

That's called being strong but not prosperous.

Those who are strong but not prosperous are like castles in the air.

China's territory is not just free of charge, it is supported by the strong Chinese culture that embraces all rivers.

While the two were talking, they entered Qian's house.

The Qian family is really busy tonight.

The backyard was not only brightly lit with candle lanterns, but there were also tables and chairs with preserved fruits and fine wine on the table.

There is even a barbecue grill not far away.

Humans have been eating roasted things since primitive times.

BBQing at home can be traced back to the pre-Qin era, when there were special barbecue grills. The heyday of barbecue was in the Song Dynasty.

There are chickens, ducks, fish, birds, and deer, and one side is filled with spices and mustard sauce.

Before pepper was introduced to China, people in the Song Dynasty loved to eat mustard sauce.

There were many young men and women there, who seemed to be Qian Jinshu's classmates, and some middle-aged men who were chatting with Qian Yuqing, who seemed to be business friends.

The Qian family's house is very large, with a small bridge and flowing water in the courtyard at the back.

After late autumn, the big ginkgo tree in front of me covered the back garden with a golden glow.

There were also several young women playing Cuju not far away. They wore brightly colored clothes and were talking and laughing.

After Zhao Ning walked in and saw the barbecue grill, he immediately felt particularly friendly.

Seeing this scene, it feels like I have returned to the 21st century.

Qian Jinshu said: "Let me introduce to you, this is Zhao Ning, Official Zhao, and he is my friend."

The young people who were drinking and chatting all bowed to Zhao Ning one after another. It seemed that among these new students, no one recognized him as the Dog King... the wise and martial Zhao Guan family.

"Guan Zhao is so polite."

"Everyone is polite."

Fortunately, no one recognized me. If someone did recognize him later, they would kill him and deny it.

After greeting them, Qian Jinshu said: "There are many guests at home today, and Mr. Zhao will forgive me."

"I came here uninvited, but I heard from Wang Taiwei that you refined sea salt in Liangzhe, and I was curious, so I came to take a look."

"It's right there." Qian Jinshu pointed to the barbecue grill, "How about giving it a try?"

Zhao Ning was not polite and walked to the barbecue grill, where the deer meat was roasting and the aroma was exuding.

"How much of this sea salt did you refine?"

"A total of one hundred thousand kilograms was refined this time."

"How long did it take?"

"More than a few months."

"how many people?"

"Nearly a hundred people."

Zhao Ning was not polite. He picked up the cooked meat and started grilling it himself. He also sprinkled salt and other spices on the meat.

Zhao Ning continued to ask: "If one million kilograms is to be refined, what should be done?"

Qian Jinshu's heart skipped a beat and asked: "Why does Zhao Guan want so much salt? You must know that salt is a forbidden product. If there is no salt quota from the court, it cannot be sold at will."

Zhao Ning looked around, lowered his voice, and said in Qian Jinshu's ear: "To be honest, this matter involves the northwest."

Qian Jinshu felt her ears itching, her heartbeat speeding up, and her ears turning red. She was a little shy and a little surprised: "What happened in the northwest?"

"Business dealings with Xixia."

As Zhao Ning spoke, his vision moved around, and he suddenly saw a group of people gathered around a table not far in front, talking happily.
