A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty
Chapter 384 The whole world is lying to me
After being fooled by Wang Yu and Zhao Zhongzhen, Su Shi felt that these two guys were really good and had good intentions.
The two of them were strolling outside, and Su Shi praised: "Yuan Ze is a yameni, but he has a good heart. Zhong Zhen is a son of the clan, but he is sincere. An Bei, these two people have learned a lot from you, but the most important thing is the people." Once you learn it well, this will be a life-long benefit..."
Shen An felt that he was very thin-skinned, so he blushed.
"... Coming all the way out of Shu is almost a narrow escape. You have never been to Anbei. Most people would be scared to death... Take the land route... Anbei, the road to Shu is difficult, and it is difficult to reach the sky..."
Su Shi talked about the difficulties of the road to Shu, and then immediately composed a poem. Shen An listened blankly, but was extremely shocked in his heart.
Is this guy so talented?
Just casually!
But that word made Shen An feel that he might not be able to write it in his lifetime.
This is genius!
From now on, this Su Xian will continue to surprise the East Asian continent. Every poem and article will shock the past and the present, making people admire him.
This man is a giant in the literary world, but he is a complete novice when it comes to politics, and he is even more ignorant about human nature...
According to the trend of history, the second half of his life was a tragedy.
Your child is so lucky to have met my brother.
Shen An smiled and said: "Actually... the water can also be filtered. For example, wrap the gauze with gauze... plus alum... then the water will be very clear, and you can drink it after boiling."
Su Shi turned around in shock and murmured: "Then do they know?"
Of course they know!
"Of course they know, brother Zizhan, this is just a joke on you. And... to be honest, the safest way is distillation."
Shen An defended against his will, but felt a little powerless.
Su Shi accepted this explanation and said, "So that's it!"
Yes, Shen An is completely desperate for this guy.
Not only is he a political novice, he is also a human idiot.
But he is a literary genius.
No, he is a super genius!
He has enveloped the continent of East Asia for three hundred years, and no one can surpass him.
In his shadow, the so-called literary giants are trembling. The Japanese, Koreans, and later generations of the world have such a high evaluation of him that it will probably shock those who come into contact with him for the first time.
Shen An felt that those two boys had gone too far and should be dealt with.
…
There have been no major events in the DPRK recently, and Zhao Zhen is very leisurely.
In his spare time, he liked to walk in the palace, looking at the houses that looked a little desolate under the autumn wind.
"Official family."
The palace people I met on the road stayed away from the roadside and lowered their eyes slightly.
The dignity of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty did not need to kneel down to reflect this, which was an improvement.
Zhao Zhen did not see concern in those respectful eyes.
These are not family members, not relatives.
He walked slowly in the harem, and the concubines were pleasantly surprised and looked forward to him coming to her.
I am just a piece of fat!
It is a normal reaction for a man to like a woman, but as an emperor, Zhao Zhen felt that he had become a piece of fat. It was not that he was favoring women, but that women were favoring him.
He felt a little sad.
"Official family."
Empress Cao was a little better, but her eyes looked at her with a little excitement of "splitting the fat".
This made Zhao Zhen feel very uncomfortable.
I am a loner.
He went back disappointed, leaving behind a palace of resentment.
The officials looked a little lifeless, and as a person around him, Chen Zhongheng had to find a way to enlighten them.
He searched for some recent happy things and told them, but Zhao Zhen still had a dull face.
"...Then Su Shi was ill. Shen An didn't say anything about prescribing any medicine. She just asked him to drink water so that his stomach would feel full, and then he went for a bumpy ride outside the city..."
Zhao Zhen still didn't respond.
Chen Zhongheng gritted his teeth and said: "Zhao Zhongzhen and Wang Yu used miscellaneous knowledge to trick Su Shi..."
He was about to elaborate further when Zhao Zhen suddenly said: "They are all cunning people..."
Okay, now it has the opposite effect.
Chen Zhongheng felt that if Shen An found out about the bad things he said about Zhao Zhongzhen and Wang Yu, he would definitely break up with him.
Zhao Zhen picked up the tea cup, looked at the faint water vapor, and said, "How is that Su Yan?"
"Su Yan? Who?"
Chen Zhongheng recalled for a while before he remembered who Su Yan was, and then sent an order to the Imperial City Division.
"The officials want to inquire about the current situation of Taixue Su Yan. Immediately. Hurry."
The efficiency of the Imperial City Division is really impressive, but it was only in the afternoon that the news came.
Zhao Zhen didn't have lunch and was drinking tea at the moment, looking a little depressed.
The official family is old!
Chen Zhongheng sighed in his heart, then took a piece of paper, looked at it, and said: "Guan family, that Su Yan's father is called Su Yi. Now he is working as a coolie on the dock of Bianhe River in the city. He can barely make enough money every day. Let father and son have enough to eat.”
"Where's Su Yan?"
Zhao Zhen became angry when he thought about barely having enough to eat.
Why can't he eat such delicious Taixue steamed buns?
There is something wrong with this world!
Zhao Zhen had never felt that the Song Dynasty under his rule was so ugly. He threw the tea cup. People outside heard the sound and came in. When they saw his face ashen, they all stood with their hands tied.
Officials don't lose their temper often. What's wrong?
Someone glanced at Chen Zhongheng, gloating that this person might have angered the housekeeper and would be punished in a short time.
People who work together are enemies, life in the palace is lonely, and the only motivation to keep going is to climb up.
Even an underage chamberlain will dream of climbing up the ladder and having someone take care of him...
Chen Zhongheng glanced at these people and knew their psychological activities well. He said in a deep voice, "Get out!"
Someone glanced at Zhao Zhen and saw that he had no objection, so everyone went out angrily.
"What is Su Yan doing?"
"Su Yan is working hard with Su Yi..."
…
Bianliang is the capital city, and the capital city represents a large population.
Moreover, going from Bianliang to the north and northwest, there are military garrison areas all the way, and countless soldiers are preparing for possible attacks by the Liao and Xixia people.
With so many people, the daily consumption of food and various supplies is astronomical.
The south is the largest supplier of materials.
Every day, a large amount of materials are transferred from the waterway and unloaded in Bianliang.
Of course, the land route is also possible, but it would be too expensive. Whether it is a carriage, horse or delivery person, the chewing along the way can make people tremble.
It is often the case that ten kilograms of grain will be delivered to the destination, but only three or four kilograms, or even two or three kilograms, will be left.
This is not corruption, but the expense of people and horses along the way.
Therefore, waterway is the best choice, and Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty opened the canal not just to play around, but because he saw the great benefits of opening the waterway.
There are many rivers in Bianliang City, and Bianhe River is the leader among them.
Bianhe River is the largest river in the city and is also the arterial channel through which Bianliang City communicates with the outside world.
"Look carefully... hold it tight..."
Both sides of the Bianhe River are very lush and there are many shops, but these shops dare not get close to the river and are all about 15 feet away.
This five-foot-long open space has been empty since the Bianhe River entered the city. Until it left the city, no one dared to occupy the road for business, and no one dared to build any illegal construction here.
Because this is a towpath.
"Oh ho..."
"Oh ho..."
Two rows of trackers pulled ropes on both sides of the bank, and a large ship was slowly pulled over.
This is the dock, and a group of coolies are rolling up their sleeves and trousers and tightening their belts.
Su Yi stood on tiptoe and looked at the ship. When he saw the man standing at the bow, he smiled and said, "It's a grain ship. I can make a lot of money today."
He landed on his heels, looked at his son who was fastening his belt next to him, and said, "You... carry it less."
Su Yan was reciting the book, and when he heard the words, he said: "Dad, the child can carry the work. If he recites the book while carrying it, it seems he can go faster."
"Can I really carry more books when I'm doing the work?"
Su Yi asked with a raised voice, a look of pride on his face.
Su Yan said: "Really."
The coolies on the side all laughed, and someone said: "Su Yi, your son is a talented man who has passed the hair-clearance test. Are you willing to let him do this?"
Su Yi said with a smile: "He insisted on coming. He didn't even listen to the beatings and scoldings. He also said that he had to make money by his own strength. This is his ability. There is nothing shameful about it."
The coolies around them had a slightly warmer look in their eyes.
No matter what time it is, coolies are at the bottom of society, looked down upon by everyone, and can be despised by everyone.
"Those scholars... haven't passed the examination yet. They look away when they see us. They look down on us... which makes people hateful. But Su Yan is not. He is a good boy."
"Yeah, he's a good boy."
When the boat docked, the steward got up from the bench and lazily walked over to make contact.
After a while he turned around and shouted: "Come all."
So the work began.
Su Yan followed his father and waited in order.
When it was his turn, Su Yi, who was already carrying a bag of grain, turned around and said, "Da Lang, please slow down, don't be in a hurry..."
Su Yan bent his knees slightly, turned his back forward, and said, "I understand, Dad."
A bag of grain was pressed on his back by two people, and Su Yan's body sank slightly. He grabbed the opening of the sack with his left hand, took a long stick from the overseer's hand with his right hand, and began to carry it.
When you arrive at the place to unload the goods, your long sign will be the evidence. The bookkeeper will add up your long sign and calculate the money after you finish.
Zhao Zhongzhen looked at this scene with a grimace, and behind him was a chamberlain.
"The officials have asked you to give the Su family some advice so that they, father and son, can live a peaceful life..."
Zhao Zhongzhen asked helplessly: "Any job can be done?"
The waiter said dullly: "I don't know about this, but I've brought you the message, so I'll go back right now."
Just take care of yourself.
I remember what the official said at the time: "If I come forward, I'm afraid the matter will get out of hand, and both the government and the public will be watching him. He is an honest man, and suddenly rich and powerful, the father and son will definitely be uneasy, and they will be in trouble in the future... "
What's the trouble?
Don't you just want to give this young man more benefits, but don't want to let outsiders know?
Then Su Yan is really lucky!
It has been many years since the founding of the Song Dynasty. Who else is such a young man that the emperor secretly misses?
Zhao Zhongzhen walked over helplessly.
"Su Yan."
Su Yan had just finished unloading a bag, looked up and saw him, and said with a naive smile, "Young gentleman, is there something wrong with you?"
Zhao Zhongzhen walked over, and the coolies around him were running back and forth, and the smell of sweat filled the air.
"Let's find a place to talk."
He wasn't quite used to the smell.
Su Yan shook his head and said, "We still have to work, why don't you wait?"
In his world, the task before the provincial examination is to help his father earn money, and no one can interrupt him.
…
Comrades, it’s late March! The monthly ticket is so miserable...
