Chapter 684 Wang Anshi's request(1/2)

It was the first time that Wang Di, who was eighteen years old, came to Beijing.

Everything about Bianjing City is so fresh and strange to him.

There are too many people here!

Although it only snowed yesterday, there were still many pedestrians and vendors on the streets.

From time to time, you can see a foot dealer who is carrying a briquette called briquette and is selling along the street.

This type of coal ball is very cheap. It is sold in Bianjing City in groups, with six in groups of 15 cents each.

In addition, there was a boy wearing a coarse cloth robe with a cold face that was red, but a clean face and a loud voice, selling tabloids along the street.

The boys held thick tabloids, wore bags of money on their bodies, walked through the streets and alleys, and the copper coins in the bags were jingling, and the boys jumped around.

All of this is different from what grandfather, uncle, and Enxiang (Zhang Dun) said.

It is also completely different from Jiangning, Yongzhou and Guizhou.

However, after spending nearly ten months with Zhang Dun in Guangxi, Wang Di has been trained.

Although he was curious, he couldn't look around.

Instead, observe carefully and keep these things in mind.

This is the skill he learned in Guangxi.

Therefore, after entering the capital, he observed Bianjing while finding Han Jiang's mansion according to his grandfather's wishes - this is easy to find!

Han Jiang’s mansion is located in Jingfufang, Bianjing City. There is Puji Temple here, named Jiulong Hall, and is one of the iconic buildings in Bianjing City.

I found Han Jiang's mansion and handed him a prayer letter. Not long after, the Han family sent someone out to invite him to the Han Mansion.

The visitor was two or three years younger than Wang Di, claiming to be Han Yu, the grandson of Han Jiang.

They are all young people, so they will soon exchange their dynasties and their characters, and then they will be commensurate with their dynasties.

"Brother Huiyi, please wait here..." Han Yu invited Wang Di to the guest room of the Han Mansion: "The ancestor of the family will arrive later."

"Thank you, Brother Zixia." Wang Di nodded.

He already knew that Han Yu's name was Zixia, two years younger than him, and was born in Xining in the fourth year.

Han Yu invited Wang Di to the guesthouse and looked at this family friendship with curiosity.

Wang Di's face is a little dark, his skin is bronze, and his eyes are smart and capable.

The sitting posture is even straight, not very much like the only grandson of the prime minister's family.

On the contrary, there is a sense of the children in the family of generals along the border - Han Yu is the one who is in front of the imperial family, and among them, there are children from the Miao family and Yao family.

These people who were born along the border and grew up in the army had a similar taste.

So Han Yu couldn't help but become curious and asked, "Brother Huiyi, where are you entering Beijing?"

Wang Di replied: "I once missed the eldest son of the prime minister Zhang, and I was appointed as the shogunate. I followed Jiaozhi, and I was in Guangxi for more than October..."

He touched his face and grinned: "But he is going to make Zixia laugh."

When Han Yu heard this, he immediately became curious and said, "Is the priest actually coming to Beijing from Guangxi?!"

"I heard that the eight states of Jiaozhi, especially Guangyuan and other places are rich in gold. In the streams and valleys, gold sand can be seen everywhere... I wonder if it is true?"

This is the content published not long ago by the Bianjing New News.

There are several other examples of the story!

Among them, there was a Bianjing man named Yang Congzhi. Because he followed the army to fight south, he found a total of more than 120 taels of gold in Guangyuanzhou in Jiaozhi, and became rich in an instant!

Now he is known as Mr. Yang!

It caused many people from Bianjing to be itchy, and the heroes were even more ill.

Even Han Yu was fascinated by his years.

He even had a dream, dreaming that he found a large vault in Guangyuanzhou. He dug it with a hoe and it was full of gold and made a fortune on the spot!

When Wang Di heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "There is indeed a lot of gold in Guangyuan and other places. I have seen it with my own eyes in Yongzhou, a large gold nugget weighing more than ten pounds..."

Guangyuanzhou, Sumaozhou, and Shun'anzhou have been discovered since entering the Song Dynasty.

Many people squat in the streams to hunt for gold every day and search for old rivers in the valleys. Many lucky people found large pieces of gold and became rich overnight!

However, the real gold mines of the eight states of Jiaozhou are not gold.

But the sugarcane forests all over the mountains and the sugar sugar workshops.

However, Wang Di would not tell Han Yu.

Because Mr. Zhang instructed him that the gold in Jiaozhou after returning to Beijing can be exaggerated, but the sugarcane in Jiaozhou should be kept low-key.

Because there are ‘villains’ in the court!

Han Yu listened, but his eyes were full of stars.

"A big gold nugget weighing more than ten pounds?"

"How big is that!"

"There is such a gold-rich mine in this world!"

He must tell other friends about this.

Wang Di smiled slightly and said, "The eight states of Jiaozhou are crisscrossing rivers and valleys are lined with many of them. Since ancient times, there are no traces of gold sand. It is normal for gold mines."

Han Yu was amazed: "If I have the chance, I should go to Jiaozhou to visit."

However, he knew that even if he wanted to go, his family would not let him go.

Because Guangxi already belongs to Lingnan.

Jiaozhou is also located south of Lingnan.

Since ancient times, it has been a place of miasma, with plagues prevalent and many tigers and leopards.

That is, the madman Zhang Dun, who is willing to go.

Hey!

Han Yu raised his head and looked at the person in front of him.

He finally couldn't help asking, "Prior to pro-ritual, how did Duke Jing agree to pro-ritual to pro-ritual to Guangxi?"

Wang Di smiled and said, "The ancestors of the family have always believed that scholars should travel thousands of miles..."

"Oh!" Han Yu nodded in admiration.

You know, Wang Di is the only grandson of Duke Jing.

Unexpectedly, Duke Jing was willing to let him go to Guangxi!

The two were talking, and with a creaking sound, the door was pushed open.

Han Yu turned his head and saw his grandfather's figure. He quickly got up and bowed, "Grandfather..."

Wang Di quickly stood up and bowed: "I have met Duke Kang."

Han Jiang smiled and nodded, then looked at Wang Di and said, "The rituals are so big."

As he said that, he stepped forward, took Wang Di's hand, sat down enthusiastically, and asked, "Is Sikong's health okay?"

"I have returned to Duke Kang, and my family's ancestors have been much better this year than in previous years..." Wang Di recalled what he saw when he went home to pay homage to his grandfather and grandmother on the way back to Beijing, and said, "This time I entered Beijing, my family's ancestors specially ordered a boy to come to pay homage to Duke Kang, and said that if Duke Kang has time, he can go to Jiangning for a while."

Han Jiang smiled and said, "After I retire, if I have time, I should go to Jiangning and take a look at Sikong."

Speaking of this, Han Jiang asked, "By the way, is Sikong still practicing Zen in Jiangning now?"

Wang Di shook his head and said, "I will not hide it from Duke Kang. My family's ancestors have decided to start a lecture in Jiangning. Now they have received donations from local gentry in Jiangning. They will officially give lectures in the spring of next year."

Han Jiang was stunned for a moment when he heard this.

Wang Anshi wants to start lectures again?

This is a big deal!

The whole world will be sensational!

Even in Luoyang, there may be scholars who will go to listen to the lecture!

no way!

Today, there is really no second one that is recognized as Confucian leader except Wang Anshi!

Whether in terms of education or academic aspects, Wang Anshi is a well-deserved Confucian master!

In particular, Wang Anshi is still the author of the designated bibliography of the imperial examination: the new meaning of the Three Classics.

If you go to his school, just give some advice. If you are afraid of not being able to go to high school in the imperial examination hall in the future?

Especially considering that it has only been two years since Zi’s Long Fei List started today.

And all the Jinshis of the Dragon Flying List in the past dynasties must be highly valued.

Therefore, once the talk is started, all young people in the world will probably go to Jiangning.

And Wang Anshi will not be aimless.

This time he came out and gave a new lecture, he must have political ambitions and goals!

And this is a precedent in the Song Dynasty.

Back then, the Qingli New Deal failed and all the gentlemen were demoted.
To be continued...
