Receive money even while lying down

Receive money even while lying down

Shi Zhun snorted from his nose and said contemptuously: "I am just a Jinshi, but I don't want to be an official. What do you want to do? I just want to be a scholar and enjoy the treatment of a scholar. Now that I have already stepped into the threshold, I don't have to worry... Now that Haizhou is full of things, I can't live without it for the time being."

Ling Fei sighed regretfully: "My brother escorted the Transportation Envoy to the Beijing City Court to see me. I still thought I could go all the way with my brother this time."

When Zhang Shu went to Beijing at night, he saw that the court was a guide. His main mission was to bring the envoy to Beijing to "pay tribute" to show the "prosperous times" of the nations coming to the court.

Shi Chuan smiled slightly: "Mr. Zhang is going to take the tribute envoy to Beijing... Cough cough, the merchants from the West have worked hard to overcome difficulties, just to make money. Seeing that September has already risen, they are anxious to sail. Who is willing to pretend to be a tribute envoy to go to the capital? Isn't that delaying the shipping for a year? When I come back from the capital, I will have to wait for the next year's trade wind next time. Who is willing to delay this year? Besides, this time the Westerners are opening up a new route, and the new route has always meant huge profits. Who is willing to give up this huge profit and just for the vanity of going to the capital?"

Ling Fei just used Zhang Shuye's new official title, and his tone was very respectful. However, Lu Da and the other three remembered Huan Niang's claim to be "That guy Zhang Shuye", and they couldn't help but laugh. They quickly lowered their heads to hide their smiles, and only heard Shi Chuan continued: "So those Westerners selected three 'unlucky guys' through stick-scissors,' and 'representing' them all to the capital to submit their letters. Of course, the letters were also forged - I wrote them, and no one in the court could understand the words."

Shideng means: Don’t take escorts from the country seriously. Foreigners come to do business, not to pay tribute. Now they are posing as tribute, which is all fake, just to meet their preferences and hope to gain trade power.

Ling Fei said oh, and immediately asked worriedly: "I won't reveal my feelings."

Shi Chuan grinned: "Zhang Shuye's husband is in trouble, and he knows the secret inside. It is said that the Song Dynasty letter submitted to the court was written by Zhang Shuye. I only gave the foreign language "National Letter" a general meaning. People are worthy of being born as a Jinshi. With a big stroke, a piece of article is beautiful and full of praise."

Ling Fei fell down and paused for a moment. He held back his smile and said, "I just heard from my master's wife E's mother that Zhang Shuye promised to let the master be the county chief clerk?"

Ling Fei asked carefully: "Will this matter change after Lord Zhang is leaving?"

"There will not be any change. A 'Fuguo County' master Bo who has been vacant for many years is not worth much. Lord Zhang is still worried about the Liangshan gangsters, so we must fight. He just told me that the sponsor letter has been sent, and it is estimated that the court will not criticize such a county master Bo. When the court officially appointed, we will go out without hesitation. Hehe, since Zhang Shuye has left, of course I can go out for a walk... How is Shuyang now?"

When the master asked about the matter, Ling Fei quickly stood up and crossed his hands to answer respectfully: "Now that all the sixteen series docks have been built, the river defense fortress along the Shuyang River to Xuzhou has been completed. In addition, the cavalry trained by Sun Li is indeed outstanding. Although there are only more than 200 cavalry, this habitual bandit took action and the master's short gun and fire gun, there are no bandits in Shuyang County."

Shi Chuan thought for a while: "This time I go to the battle, I plan to take Lin Chong and Sun Li to... In addition, I also plan to recruit Xu Ning, the Golden Spear Team, to join the regiment training, take a sea boat commanded by Zhang Heng, and then grab the beach near Hangzhou, holding the position and waiting for the arrival of the official army. At this time, our family needs a general to take charge. Come back and command Cuizhuang regiment training. After Ruan Tong's injuries heal, you ask Zhang Cen to be responsible for the logistics of the navy, let Ruan Tong fill Zhang Heng's vacancy, and lead the normal patrol of the navy...

I thought, since we went out to fight position war this time, we might as well complete the army and let the children train on the battlefield to adapt to our new military system..."

After saying that, Shi Chuan turned to Wuhan University: "The official recruitment of the 'three-star class', Lord Zhang has already told me that this time, when Westerners entered Hong Kong, someone talked about Haizhou, and told the official that the construction method of your three-star class was unique, full of the flavor of foreign vassals such as the Great Food of Tianzhu, so the official decided to build a Western-style building in Jingfu Palace and Genyue...

At this time, there is no change. The official has issued an edict... I have made two designs for you: a glass sunroom, a "city water clock" composed of fountains and sculptures. As for pavilions and towers, you have practiced it when you built the rose garden. If it really doesn't work, copy the rose garden architecture, which should be able to meet the needs of the official.

The reason why I didn't stop this is because it was also an opportunity for you - your architectural techniques are definitely unique in the Song Dynasty. No matter how others make things difficult for you, today's officials are frivolous in character, and they will definitely like such novel architecture. Zhang Zeduan, a painter can be an official for nothing, and you can also take this opportunity to become an official.

I suggest you divide the "three-star class" into three teams this time. Lu Da will lead one team to Beijing first, and the other two teams will stay in Haizhou to continue the original project. Today, the officials are still in favor and have to stop work every winter. The three teams will rotate every winter. Everyone will go to the official family to get an official position. It is a bit harder on the road."

Lu Dada replied: "Master, we were afraid of missing the construction period of the official family. The master also asked us to divide the three-star class into three teams. If the eunuchs in the court make things difficult for them, it would be even more troublesome."

Shi Chuan smiled confidently: "This time we transported thousands of slaves back, and there will be major breakthroughs in construction machinery. This breakthrough is epoch-making. The eunuchs in the palace speculate on your speed with common sense. You can make him look as stupid as an idiot... Oh, if those officials make things difficult for you in other aspects, you can go to the generals of the Ministry of Works to serve as supervisors and find those officials who are ordered to compile the "Creation of the French". At worst, you can dedicate the construction books I wrote to them. For this reason, the generals of the generals of the company will definitely come forward to speak for you.

As for the officials’ food and card purchases... Don’t think about making money in this project. Please remind yourself: This trip is just to get an official position. After completing the official’s mission, you will leave without stopping. As long as you return to Haizhou, the master will protect you..."

The reason why Shi Chuan talked about using his own architectural books to tempt officials who were in charge was because the entire Song Dynasty had been ordered to publish and edit "Creation of Faith" several times. The textbook said that the compiler of "Creation of Faith" was Li Jie, but in fact... the content in the textbook was never reliable - editing "Creation of Faith" was a daily task for the Ministry of Revenue to be the supervisor. Until the Southern Song Dynasty, "Creation of Faith" was compiled once. The "Creation of Faith" that modern people saw was the version of the Southern Song Dynasty. The Li Jie version of "Creation of Faith" was no longer seen at the end of the Song Dynasty. The reason why the propaganda tampered with the history of the cataloging of "Creation of Faith" was because the last version of "Creation of Faith" was ordered by Qin Hui, and the publisher was Qin Hui's wife's brother Wang Huan.

The "Creation of the French", which the imperial court will be the editor, claims to be a collection of architectural contents throughout the world, but it only does not include the art of brick and stone creation. On the contrary, the architectural book compiled by Shitong details various architectural principles, as well as the main load-bearing principles and models of load-bearing beams and columns in buildings. Although his book does not involve wooden buildings, part of the "principles" of architecture has surpassed "Creation of the French".

When I wear this book at a time, the "Creation of the Framework" compiled by the court can immediately be explained from an example from empiricism to a classic architecture book that scientifically describes the principles of architecture. This book may be drowsy when ordinary people read it, and the people who are serving in prison will suddenly become enlightened when they see this book. In addition, they will look at the Samsung Class who presented books in a different way. In front of a group of scholars, what are the eunuchs in the palace? Do they still dare to jump out and accuse the Samsung Class?

The master thought so carefully for everyone and did not hesitate to offer his own exclusive secret technique for this. Lu Da and others were so moved that they burst into tears. They bowed to Shi Chuan together and said choked, "Master, disciple..."

"Forget it, there is no need to say anything. You have married my Shi family's wife, and you can be considered my Shi family's son-in-law. All things in the world are people-oriented. What is the point of throwing a book if you can save your people? Besides, this book contains many calculation methods. I personally guide you for two years and let you do internships while running schools. You just understand the basics. If the people who are in charge really understand my book, even if they still write it, how many people can understand it is still a problem.

However, if we can learn to study the principles of everything from now on, instead of just giving examples, throwing this book out would be useful."

As she was talking, Huang E walked in wearing a phoenix crown and a robe, and was sweating all over her to greet the servants to help remove the heavy jewelry. She was very tired, but she was in good spirits. While removing the jewelry, the servants happily greeted Lu Da, Ling Fei and others, and told Shi Chuan without touching the ground: "Brother, someone asked about the 'investment' on the table just now, and asked if we should collect the 'investment'?"

When I was "suffering", I laughed to the sky. In the Song Dynasty, reading and literacy are the benefits. As long as I pass the imperial examination, someone will give you money to spend when I lie there. "I worked hard to get an imperial examination. Isn't it easy? I just want to collect money while lying down? Why don't I take it?"

"Brother", Huang E took off her makeup and immediately said: "It's time to collect the grapes from Baihu Mountain, and the spices from the rose garden should be picked? Why don't we stay in Baihu Mountain for a few days, and my brother supervises them to make the wine?"

According to general practice, after the imperial examination, we must worship our ancestors. When Huang E greeted him, she went to Baihu Villa, which was the meaning... Of course, another meaning was to avoid Cui Xiaoqing. Shi Chuan was happy just now and forgot about this.

"Okay, pack your luggage and we will set off tomorrow... Unfortunately, Zong Zi Shican has not won the imperial examination this year, otherwise, Baihu Mountain should be more lively," Shi Chuan said smoothly.

When it comes to worshiping ancestors, Lu Da and the other two hurriedly said, "Master returns to Baihu Mountain, I will ask my wife to go with me."

In recent years, the three women of Lu Da have become pregnant one after another. Among them, Li Shi's wife is about to be labour, so she is not suitable for rushing. However, considering that this trip is due to the factors of worshiping ancestors, and the roads between Baihu Mountain and Haizhou City are very flat, in this case, refusing the three women of Lu Da Da to return to their nominal ancestral house may cause other associations, so Shi Chuan thought for a moment and immediately replied: "Okay, please inform your wife."

There is naturally a grand celebration in the Shi family's ancestral temple on Baihu Mountain - passing the imperial examination means that the Haizhou Shi family, who moved here, continues the tradition of family tradition of the fragrance of books, and also means that the Haizhou Shi family has sheltered above their heads. At this moment, they are truly "taking roots" in Haizhou.

This is also a season of harvest. The surname of Baihu Mountain did not grow grain and grapes. After the initial idea of ​​reclamation, they had their own harvest this year for the first time. As the chief of the clan (meaning elders in the clan), Shideng opened a jar of new wine this year, filling each bowl by bowl. No matter the old people in the clan, they all went up to the front and raised a bowl in turn. After offering sacrifices to heaven, earth and ancestors, they slowly tasted the first wine.

At this time, the wine can only be called "whole grape juice". It is sweet and greasy, with extremely low alcohol content and amber color. The golden grape juice ripples in the transparent crystal glass, and shaking the cup at the moment, sighs: "In another two years, our wine will be fully mature - whether it is craft water or brewed wine."

Several elders of Shi family also shook their cups and nodded, saying, "After two more years, our Haizhou Shi family has created a century-long foundation for their descendants - a family moved thousands of miles away, took three or five years to gain a foothold, and found a way for their descendants to continue to make money for more than a hundred years. This speed is unheard of. In the clan, two years later, our descendants of Shi family in Haizhou should enjoy happiness."

Zong Zi Shican looked a little depressed. He nodded silently and tasted the grape juice again. Seeing this, Shi Chuan quickly persuaded: "Zong Zi is still young, and when he waits for the exam for three years, he is still a young juren. Why are you worried about?"

"That's it," Cuizhuang female academic teacher said: "There are many affairs in the clan, and the clan son is busy with all kinds of things, so how can I have time to study poetry and books - it has been rare for the clan sons and clan chiefs to pass the exam. It is already good that our Haizhou Shi family now has a juren - how many years have we been here? Not many of those who live here for the rest of the world have passed the exam?"

"Yes, yes," the people next to him persuaded: "Don't worry about the clan son. If you are not a juren, you are still our juren. You must count on your justice in the affairs of the clan. Seeing that our Haizhou Shi family has laid a century of foundation, a hundred years later, the descendants of the Shi family will praise your creation. It doesn't matter whether you are a juren or not."

Of course it doesn't matter, they already have a juren shelter.

While speaking, the elders in the clan started to speak out - it was nothing more than asking their children to continue working hard and create more scholars and Jinshi...

In the backyard, Chu Suzhen shook the glass, looked at the wine rippling in the glass, and said with emotion: "No wonder there was a poem in the Tang Dynasty that said: 'Grape wine luminous cup', this wine should be filled with a glass."

Huang E, who accompanied Chu Suzhen, also whispered: "That's right, in two years, whether it is my brother's rose garden or the Baihu Villa with the surname Shi, they will all be on the right track. In the future, the descendants of the surname Shi just need to keep the garden and count the money, and they don't have to work hard in the dark."

What Huang E wants to say is: As a new introduction, grapes have few pests and diseases in this new environment. As long as grape vines are planted, it is much easier than the hard work in the farmland. As long as they can seedlings and fruits are sparse in spring and autumn, they will wait for picking them later. As a fruit, the profit of grapes is not very high due to shelf life issues, but as a winemaking material, this thing does have the more it stores, the more it increases the value.

Of course, if there is no profit in the field for two years, it is a huge expense - but in fact, grape juice can also be sold as wine. Modern China adds grape juice to water and spices, and sells it as "full juice wine". Half of the newly brewed wine is stored and half is on sale, and the Shi clans have already made an investment. As long as they survive the first two years, their lives will only get better and better in the future.

At this moment, not only Chu Suzhen and Huang E in the backyard, but also in the yard, the girl surnamed Shi in Baihu Mountain had already become a match with the girl Shideng. They laughed and were full of expectations for the future. They didn't know that at this time, the Song and Jin sea alliance had been reached, and the alliance with Jin to attack Liao was a decisive situation, and the war was coming.

When the wine was over, the girls started to play and the game they played was naturally a typical Song Dynasty card game - Horse Ding. When they came to the backyard, they saw some tables filled with wine glasses filled with wine. The girls were four of them at a table, crackling and playing Horse Ding with great enthusiasm. The whole scene was a typical "Song Dynasty Lady's Garden Tour"

Shi Chuan's appearance did not arouse you're avoiding it, because they are all their own brothers and sisters, so they play cards as usual and those who should roll dices as usual. Chu Suzhen is very focused on the card game and basically doesn't notice Shi Chuan's arrival. Shi Chuan walked to Chu Suzhen and asked quietly: "Don't you plan to go to the Luo family at the foot of the mountain? If you want to go, I'll accompany you."

Chu Suzhen came here very low-key this time when she came to Baihu Villa. The car curtains were closed along the way, and the carriage went directly into Shi's backyard. Then she only hid in the yard to play with her female companions. She had always loved the fun and did not even show up in the new wine-making sacrifice held in the front yard. She was so careful, of course, because she was afraid that Lo Wangjing would come to make noise again under the hillside... Of course, she came to Baihu Mountain this time not to make memories and nostalgia for revisiting the old place. She was just bored and would attend whenever she greeted her party.

When Baihu Mountain wants to make wine, it is for the purpose of hype. The brewing ceremony is designed with a cultural atmosphere. Of course, it is also full of "grape" characteristics, such as grape picking competitions, basket-carrying competitions, grape-step competitions, etc.

The Song Dynasty was originally an era of great entertainment. In this day, women did not wear clothes for sumo wrestling, and they were open competitions. In the competitions designed, the participating women were required to wear super short slewing skirts. While the girls danced and jumped, their pink arms and legs appeared and appeared, which was very ornamental. Because the prize money was heavy, even girls from the neighboring villages were clamoring to sign up, and the onlookers were even more flocking to each other - but Chu Suzhen let the cheers outside and was as safe as Mount Tai sitting alone in the courtyard.

When Chuan asked, he looked like a regular look and called out a horse hanging and asked, "So what if you look? So what if you don't see?"

: I will charge money even if I lie down.
