Tang's dining table

When you are with Di Renjie, you all know what kind of person he is, so you are a little unscrupulous when talking.

However, everything he said was true.

Yun Chu had made up his mind to pass the imperial examination. As for Di Renjie, he had a solid knowledge of ancient knowledge and a family background. It was estimated that it would not be difficult at all to become a Jinshi.

Of course, someone will send the papers, and they also know who to send them to, where to send them, and even more know how to show their talents to those dignitaries.

Yunchu couldn't do it. Ancient knowledge was learned from the old monkey, who was a second-hand swordsman. He learned less than a spoonful of the vast knowledge.

If he were to take the Jinshi major, it would probably be impossible.

Fortunately, his arithmetic is really good, surpassing that of many people. At least, in the Imperial College, when it comes to arithmetic, Yun Chu is a hurdle that he cannot overcome.

The Ming Jing science test tests specialized talents, while the Jinshi science test tests all-rounders.

Although they are all called Jinshi after they come out, they can also get passes to become officials. However, it is easier for those with Mingjing major to get official positions, while it is difficult for those with Jinshi major.

In the imperial court of the Tang Dynasty, there were many positions prepared for specialized talents, and there were relatively few such people. However, there were many people in the world who were good at poetry and policy making. In contrast, there were only a few official positions and luck. The bad thing is, you may have to wait in line for a vacant spot to appear.

Di Renjie didn't have to wait. Ever since he killed a large number of officials in Chang'an County, Yushitai was very fond of this young man. Just wait for this young man to grow up and kill corrupt officials all over the world.

In this way, Yushitai can become a formidable institution.

"Yesterday I visited my mentor Li Yifu and told him that I wanted to stay in Wannian County and serve as the county captain."

"What did he say?"

"Hit my palm five times."

"Well, since that's the case, it means the matter is done. However, as a person who is accustomed to adapting to the situation, why is he so concerned about your affairs?

You must know that Li Daliang had a favor for him. When Li Daliang's son Li Fengjing learned that he was going to be released as the magistrate of Gaoling County, he wanted to stay in the capital, so he begged Li Yifu, hoping that he could speak kindly in front of His Majesty. sentence.

As a result, Li Yifu spoke well, but Li Fengjie, who could have reluctantly accepted the position of magistrate of Gaoling County in Guanzhong, became magistrate of Anji County in Huzhou. Therefore, Li Fengjie cried in front of his father Li Daliang's grave, saying that he did not know people well.

Then, after Li Yifu learned about this, he changed a few words of what Li Fengjie said in front of his father's grave and informed the emperor.

Then, Li Fengjie's eldest son Li Rubi was originally the youngest censor in Xitai. On the third day, he was sent to Yidu County as a county lieutenant to see the scenery of the Yangtze River.

After that, if Li Yifu had not been demoted or lost power, the highest point of Li Daliang's clan would be his Duke of Wuyang County. "

Yun Chu looked at Di Renjie and said, "What do you mean-"

Di Renjie smiled and said: "If we offend this person, we must not be merciful to him, otherwise, we will face disaster."

"There's no need to say this, right?"

Di Renjie shook his head and said: "You must say it out. If I launch it in the future, you must follow up."

"So, you have already started investigating Li Yifu."

"With a good teacher like him who likes to raise Gu, I have to prepare for a rainy day. Have you made preparations as well?"

"My preparation was relatively simple. If he cheated me, I would kill him."

"Well, this is in line with your temperament. By the way, there is one more thing. The Silla prince Jin Guang you asked me to investigate, after I asked friends from Honglu Temple to check it, I found that there is no such person in the Silla royal family genealogy. , but when he came to the Tang Dynasty, he got the real Silla credential."

"Huh? Where is Cui Xuanli?"

"Cui Xuanli is indeed a person, and he is indeed the envoy sent by King Jin Chunqiu of Silla. As for why this person obeyed Jin Guangyan, we have to ask Cui Xuanli himself."

"Okay, I'll ask him."

"He lives in Honglu Temple. You may not be able to see him, and you can't go in with your face covered."

"Then wait for him at the gate of Honglu Temple. This will be fair and aboveboard."

Di Renjie stared at Yun Chu for a while and said, "You are so brave."

Yunchu sneered and said: "There are Silla people there who are brave enough to offer geldings to the Tang Dynasty. I told you a long time ago to only do the right thing."

"To be honest, the Tang Dynasty has never lacked horses, let alone good horses. It is said that there are 80,000 fine horses in the Ganzhou pasture. On the grasslands outside Bingzhou, there are more tribes at the foot of the Yin Mountain raising horses for the Tang Dynasty. .

The people of Silla worshiping geldings is just a petty thing. We don't need to get to the bottom of it. This matter has nothing to do with you. "

"When we actually become officials, these things will be relevant to us. Now, I just want to find Cui Xuanli and ask who this Jin Guang is."

"Why don't you just ask Jin Guang?"

"I'm afraid if I ask, I'll beat him to death."

The two of them were walking in Jinchangfang. Whenever Di Renjie saw a slight difference, he would admire it. Especially when he saw a waterwheel made of bamboo that rotated with the flow of water at the corner of the street, he was even more amazed.

It's over with my admiration, I just think this thing is quite magical.

After taking a few steps out, Yun Chu forcibly pulled him back and asked him to continue admiring the waterwheel.

Di Renjie patiently read it again, praising the craftsmen's whimsical ideas and nothing else.

It wasn't until Di Renjie was dragged back three times by Yun Chu that Di Renjie said angrily: "I know you have many craftsmen in Jinchangfang and you have many fantastic ideas. This thing can be moved by the water flow. It is really beautiful. Can you stop showing off to me?" No more, I have no new words to praise you."

Yunchu sighed and stopped dragging him to see this great water conservancy facility that could raise water more than ten meters.

I decided to wait until the next time the emperor comes to test the emperor to see if he can see the truth of serving the country and the people.

Of course, Yun Chu, a general official from the Ministry of Industry, would not lead them to visit this prototype of a large waterwheel on the Yellow River.

In an era when broken-down trucks that required manual labor to lift water were regarded as treasures, good things like water trucks were turned a blind eye.

Seeing the slowly rotating windmill located at the highest point of Jinchangfang, Di Renjie smiled and said: "I am afraid that only your wealthy Jinchangfang can make children's toys so big."

Yun Chu looked at Di Renjie and his eyes only fell on the leaves of the huge rotating windmill, but he completely ignored the woman who had just come out of the small house behind the windmill with a bag of grain on her back.

I feel that there is something wrong with Di Renjie's brain circuit. His focus is on people, but he has almost no understanding of physical structures.

This is not surprising. There should be no more than three people with this kind of thinking in the Tang Dynasty. Even Yan Liben should not have this kind of thinking. After all, he is good at painting and his thinking is still two-dimensional.

"The windmill is very beautiful, and it can also move. It is much more beautiful than building pavilions and pavilions."

Yun Chu smiled and said: "The northeast wind prevails in Chang'an all year round, so, you see, this windmill faces the northeast. The purpose is to allow this windmill to rotate continuously all year round."

Di Renjie praised: "It's really amazing. Even these details have been taken into consideration. Yun Chu, your ability to do these specific things is far better than mine."

In order to take Di Renjie's face into consideration, Yun Chu sold Di Renjie beads twice. Both times, the guy kept the box containing the beads and returned the beads intact to Yun Chu.

You can't force this kind of thing. If you understand clearly, this guy Di Renjie will become angry.

Just as they reached an open area in Jinchangfang, a burst of rapid horse hoofbeats came from behind. Before the two of them could react, a black shadow passed by Di Renjie, and at the same time, the hat Di Renjie was wearing disappeared. yarn crown.

Di Renjie was not surprised either. He turned to Yun Chu and said, "Are you planning to raise Naha to be a bearded girl?"

Yun Chu smiled bitterly and said, "How about I invite you to be Naha's teacher? You can do as many exercises as you want. Anyway, you are proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and you have a lot of free time recently."

Di Renjie shook his head and said: "If the result of being Naha's teacher is to be pissed to death, no matter how much money you give me, it will be useless.

However, Liu Kai is a good candidate. Although his father and son are greedy for money, their knowledge is first-rate. As long as they have enough money, their patience in teaching students will be very good. "

(Liu Zhuo, Liu Kai's father, was a famous astronomer and classics master in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Kong Yingda, a great scholar in the Tang Dynasty, was his student. Everyone in the generation was just greedy and stingy, and would not teach if he had no money. If he had money, he would teach to death.)

Yun Chu thought for a while and said: "If Liu Kai is allowed to teach Naha, Naha will die. If Liu Kai is not allowed to force Naha, Liu Kai will die. Forget it, when I went home last night, Naha could finally take Yun The word "na" is written with some charm, and I am very satisfied."

Di Renjie laughed loudly and said, "Naha is also the most learned person among the Hu people, right?"

Knowing that Di Renjie was making fun of him, Yun Chu still felt a pang of sadness in his heart. He thought that whether in this life or in his previous life, Yun Chu would learn things as easily as chopping melons and eating vegetables. He was even more resourceful when facing evil people, and he was able to deal with big problems. The scene was like drinking water, but Naha, whom he loved most, became his biggest nightmare.

Seeing Naha riding a huge black horse, holding Dee Renjie's hat in one hand, screaming strangely, she still has half the style of a Han woman here and there, she is even more Uighur than a Uighur.

Not only were the residents of Jinchangfang watching the excitement not surprised, but there were many girls and boys cheering loudly, and some even hoped that Naha could somersault on the running Wuzui horse.

Di Renjie looked at Yun Chu with pity and gritted his teeth, patted him on the back and said: "Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. Don't be a horse or a cow for your children and grandchildren. Maybe you will meet someone who likes this kind of thing in the future." A good man for women.”

Yun Chu exhaled a breath of turbid air, pointed at Naha who was walking away and said, "Who would like this?"

Di Renjie shook his head and said: "I don't like women like Yu Xiurong who just hang out on the swings when they have nothing to do. Don't you like her?

How do you pronounce that long and short sentence? Oh, there’s a swing in the wall, a beautiful woman smiling outside the wall, what else? You are not afraid of ridicule from people in Chang'an, so what should Naha be afraid of? Anyway, she is a Buddhist girl, and she held the lantern for Master Xuanzang at the Water and Land Conference. "
