Chapter 21 Trouble Comes (Part 1)

"You reject the imperial edict?" Xiaohuangmen was surprised.

"Eunuch, please come in and listen to me," Song Jiu invited him to the yard.

The eunuch was not arrogant and had nothing to do with the silver. Ten taels of silver might not make him too concerned, but the emperor paid great attention to this kid. The second king said good things about him. If Mr. Zhao had not stopped him twice, he would have been appointed as the imperial court official, and he still had that family background...

This kid still has a future in the future. Follow Song Jiu in. He looked vicious and guessed Yu Ping's identity at a glance. He smiled and said, "Miss is the Jade of Beiwa."

"I have met my father-in-law, and I am the one who is the one who is a family member."

"Come on holidays too."

"yes."

The eunuch turned his head and looked at Song Jiu, thinking to himself, if you have this little lady like a flower, why should you confuse the girl from that family? Without saying that, he looked at the dishes on the table, which was very handsome. In fact, Zhao Kuangyin lived a very frugal life, and the living conditions in the palace were far from what the outside thought. Song Jiu said cleverly: "Eunuch, we are going to have a meal, so you can eat together."

"It's not a big deal." Xiao Huangmen swallowed. He was not old, only in his twenties, not mature enough, and could not say it well, and he couldn't bear to move it in one step. Song Jiu said: "Eunuch, it's okay. I am not a powerful person, but a noble family, but a noble family. I am just a candid person. Why not avoid taboos? The eunuch is willing to stay for dinner. It's called being close to the people. It's hard for the censor to say. Maybe the official family will praise you."

"It's better to obey your orders than to be respectful." The eunuch sat down.

"May I ask the eunuch's surname?"

"Sa family's surname is Cai."

"Empress Cai, wait," he had to set off firecrackers before he could eat. Song Jiu and Zhu San set off firecrackers. Yu Ping went into the house to find wine. If he had a crush on him, he would chase him boldly. Song Jiu boldly chased the daughter of the famous general. Yu Ping boldly chased Song Jiu. The difficulty of the two seemed to be many times higher. Yu Ping simply became the hostess. After the firecrackers were set off, Eunuch Cai asked: "Why did Jiulang reject the imperial edict?"

"This is all river food. Eat hot food is fresh, and eating cold food is fishy. Eat hot food, and chat while eating." Song Jiu is not a scholar and a doctor, so he doesn't care about food or speech. Eunuch Cai picked up an eel piece, put it in his mouth and chewed it, and said, "Jiulang, you also like to eat this."

"Yes, Eunuch Cai likes to eat too?"

"Sajia is from Yangzhou. A few years ago, the nobles in the palace didn't like to eat it. They never thought they could eat it again today. Sajia..." The young father-in-law choked and wanted to cry. Yangzhou was in chaos in the past few years, and many people left their hometowns and left the rich land, but people will eventually miss their hometown.

"Emperor Cai, then eat more," Song Jiu did not reject eunuchs, they were all pitiful people. Besides, the eunuchs in the Song Dynasty were not as hateful as Han, Tang and Ming.

"Kyuro, the eel you made has a great taste. Where did you learn it?"

"Emperor Cai, my elder sister runs a restaurant. She will do it if she sees too much. She lives alone, but she has no choice."

Eunuch Cai looked at Yuping. He was helpless. Then let’s redeem this little beauty. She is not worth a lot of money. Although Song Jiu has no money, can this business be less private? But this is hard to say. He started to eat, whether it is eel or turtle, it is his favorite. Under his leadership, several people’s appetites swelled together. The final result was that peach juice and snake pieces were the most popular. In fact, it cannot be said that Song Jiu’s cooking skills are invincible in the world. The chefs in the dozens of main stores in Beijing are definitely better than Song Jiu. There is only one thing, Jing Cuisine is from Henan Cuisine in later generations.

The prototype is not that Henan cuisine is not bad, but later generations did not have Henan cuisine in Sichuan, Hunan, Hui, Guangdong, Yang, Fu, Zhejiang, and Shandong, which also proved that Henan cuisine was gradually lagging behind. At least in novelty, there was rarely a Beijing chef who was Song Jiu's rival. For example, this peach juice snake piece was unique in the entire Song Dynasty. Eunuch Cai and Cui'er were fighting for food, and asked what meat it was. Song Jiu pinched Zhu San's hand under the table and refused to let him say it. Zhu San was also curious. Seeing that they were eating delicious food, they had the courage to eat one piece. It was indeed delicious, but they were suspicious and did not dare to eat the second piece.

After drinking and eating, Zhu San cleaned up the bowls and tables, Cui'er also walked over to help. Yuping cooked tea for Song Jiu and invited Eunuch Cai. Eunuch Cai took a sip of tea, patted her stomach and said, "Thank you Jiulang, the Sa family has eaten so much today. But Jiulang also harmed the Sa family. In the future, what should we do if we go to the palace to miss Jiulang's delicious food?"

This question is really embarrassing. I took another sip of tea and asked, "Why did Jiulang refuse the imperial edict?"

"Emperor Cai, I also want to be an official, why do I repeat the imperial examinations? It's not just to be an official. The Imperial College lecturer is a clean yamen. It is finally the official official of the court. If my elder sister knew that she would scold me, but I would be forced to refuse the imperial edict. The students in the Imperial College are all powerful and noble children. I am too young to obey them. I have some conflicts with the two doctors Zhang Yan because of three math problems. I am not old enough to subdue the students. My colleagues may also reject them. When he goes in, he is so ugly every day. It's better not to do this official." Song Jiu answered honestly. He has seen the wisdom of Emperor Taizong of Song, and if he hides it, or pretends to be noble, it is not beautiful.

"Why did Kyuro have a disagreement with the two doctors?"

When Song Jiu mentioned this, he was angry and said, "Emperor Cai, I think you heard about Shushe, right?"

Eunuch Cai nodded. In fact, in terms of the number of students, Song Jiu's two classrooms now have the largest number of students in Beijing. There are not many students in the Imperial College. The number of students in the number of students is uncertain, but there are never more than one hundred, let alone other small private schools.

"I originally set it up, but I wanted to teach a few students who can settle accounts and manage the accounting books for Lifu on the dock. Unexpectedly, many men came to me, all neighbors. I couldn't bear to refuse, so I collected 63 people. The rest were listened to. The accountants couldn't use so many people, so I wanted to teach them a way out. It was not an imperial examination. Although I was a Jinshi, I only accepted several Jinshi in the entire Song Dynasty a year, and most of them failed the exam. They were all poor families. Will it be tiring if they failed the exam?

Family? So as soon as I entered the door, I said, I will teach you some useful knowledge, but don’t think about the imperial examination. Don’t enter this school. Then I will teach the meaning of the sutra, not to let them understand the nine classics thoroughly, but to let them understand and familiarize themselves. So there are four other subjects, mathematics, matter structure, accounting, practicality, and practicality, which is to cultivate hands-on ability. As long as you study for a few years, you will be a first-class manager, accountant, and master craftsman, and you will have a way out. But eating two bowls of rice will make you full, three bowls and four bowls of rice?"

"It would be uncomfortable to hold on," Eunuch Cai touched his stomach again, and the delicious meal also made him feel uncomfortable to hold on.

"That's right, but after the two doctors came in, they taught the Nine Classics seriously and the Law. Originally, students were too busy to learn five courses, but now what to do with these useless Nine Classics and Laws? Not only that, Eunuch Cai, just like this eel, people who don't like to eat don't like to eat and hate it. Eunuch Cai likes to eat, is it delicious? The same is true for learning. I asked the students to ask questions on their own initiative, lively education, to make them interested, and to learn actively, and to not hate it, and to learn easily. However, when the two doctors came, they copied the quotes from "Quli". It was not what the Master said wrong, they were all poor children after all.

, unlike the children of well-educated officials, will they scare them? There is also arithmetic, not bad for predecessors, but I teach a shortcut to make them quickly calculate. Besides, we must respect the wisdom of our predecessors, inherit, and dare to surpass them. The Master said that there must be my teacher when we walk together. The Master continued to learn and improve. Why can't future generations continue to improve? Only by constantly improving, using knowledge to make the country strong, not be insulted by foreign enemies, making the people rich, and live and work in peace and contentment is the Master's original intention. However, once they came, they overturned everything I taught. Replacing the advanced with backwardness and sticking to the rules, is it for teaching students or to harm students?"

"The Sa family will report to the Lord."

"There are not many doctors in the Imperial College, right?"

“There are nine people.”

"There are only nine people, why did the court ask two people to teach?"

"The Sa family is not very clear. It seems that the court will use some students, so they send two real doctors to teach." Eunuch Cai didn't dare to say it, and there were some rumors in the palace, saying that this kid was very bold and repeatedly blackmailed the two kings, so he didn't say it in advance, so that the kid could not come to blackmail again and let the people laugh at him.

"The court asked them to come because they wanted these students to be craftsmen, right?"

"You know?"

"The crane will eventually be promoted like a national promotion. Who will assemble and guide? At first, I didn't know, but later I couldn't figure it out? Although the treatment of craftsmen was not high, these students learned some knowledge and learned a lot of words. Even if they became craftsmen, most of them were writers and all writers. They really couldn't do it. They were also craftsmen (official craftsmen are the first-class, writers, all writers, second-class craftsmen, and third-class handymen). I also asked carpenters and masons to teach them some practical skills here. Why didn't the court say it? I used to ask for money from the court, which was my wisdom, but I can still distinguish what kind of money can be taken and what kind of money cannot be taken. This is to benefit the people and the court. Will I still ask for money from the court?"

"Jiulang said it very well. It seems that Mr. Zhao has misunderstood you."

"Grandpa Zhao?" Song Jiu was stunned. What he feared the most was Zhao Kuangyi and Zhao Pu. It was a little better now. If he was unfortunately caught among them in the next few years, he would be crushed into ashes.

"He said it was a strange trick."

"Strange tricks and tricks? Brother Zhu, come here." Song Jiu said, bringing a bamboo pole, inserting it into the yard, and asking, "Eunuch Cai, how tall is this locust tree in my house?"

"How do you know this?"

"Let you know right away," asked Zhu San to measure the length of the bamboo pole. At this time, the day was getting noon, and it was summer again. The shadow was shorter, and the shadow of the locust tree was spread to the corner of the house. Song Jiu used a soft ruler to measure the shadow of the locust tree, then went into the classroom, calculated with chalk, put down the chalk, walked out and said, "The height of 9 zhang and one foot and two inches, the difference in suspension will not exceed one foot. Using this method, you can measure how high Mount Tai is."

"How did Kyuro know?"

"This is the power of mathematics. For example, this formula, add the width above and divide the width below to divide two, multiply the length and height. If a large city wall is calculated according to this formula, and send more than a dozen officials to measure it with a soft ruler, you must not measure it with steps. The error will be too large. Then in just one day, how much material is used to build the four walls of the capital, and it will be calculated at night. Can it be said that it is a strange trick? For example, our dynasty, our dynasty is not the south, and several southern countries are declining, and the great enemy is not the Northern Han. There are only tens of thousands of households in the Northern Han, and sooner or later, we will be recaptured by our dynasty, and the future is truly

The powerful enemy is the Khitan. Our dynasty lacks horses, and he will lose his temper in the future. However, what if the Modao of the Tang Dynasty is there? Unfortunately, after the Anshi Rebellion, craftsmen were lost, the Modao craftsmanship was lost, and there was no more weapon for infantry to break the cavalry. Can it be said that it is a strange skill? For example, cooking, the ingredients are important, but can it be less oil, salt and seasoning, can it be less pot, and can it be less firewood? Running the country is also making a pot of vegetables. The Master's Confucianism is the most important. As long as the knowledge in other aspects is not to deceive the king into enjoyment and extravagance, but to benefit the country and the people, it cannot be underestimated. This dish can only be prepared well."

"Kyuro is right, where did you learn your knowledge?"
