Wei and Jin cooks

Chapter 1093 Confidant

Fu Xuan on the side said secretly: He doesn't dare to express his opinions, right?

Everyone finished dinner in silence, and Zhao Hanzhang asked Zeng Yue to send someone to send the three of them back.

Zhao Erlang had already fallen down. Zeng Yue carried him into the car, and Wang followed behind.

Wang was a bit silent tonight, as she really faced Zhao Hanzhang's power today.

Zhao Hanzhang and Fu Tinghan stood at the door and watched them off. They looked at each other until they were far away, smiled and left hand in hand.

Zhao Hanzhang and Fu Tinghan bowed in agreement, then turned back hand in hand.

Walking to the garden, Zhao Hanzhang couldn't help but sneeze. Fu Tinghan was nervous and asked, "Are you cold?"

Zhao Hanzhang shook his head: "Who should be talking about me?"

It was Guo Pu. He also came to attend the wedding today. He took a close look at Fu Tinghan, and then couldn't help but look at Zhao Hanzhang, and couldn't help but laugh in his heart.

This Fu Tinghan is also interesting and contains a lot of truth. The six and three lines of the Kun hexagram were not divined for her. She was clearly the one who predicted it, but it was Fu Tinghan. He was indeed a wise minister and complemented her.

Guo Pu spent too much energy today and suddenly had a splitting headache. He fell back on the bed and thought blankly, such a fun place without danger, no matter what, he should stay for a while.

It seems that the hexagram is correct, this is indeed his way out.

Here, he can always avoid Wang Dun's nemesis, right?

It's just that it's not easy to stay in other people's homes here. According to Ji Yuan's wishes, Zhao Hanzhang intends to recruit him, but he doesn't know what kind of official he is. If the official is not big and has leisure, he should be one?

After escaping from the south of the Yangtze River to here, Guo Pu had no money. Although he had a hard time by telling people's fortunes along the way, it was too disgraceful for him to calculate money based on divination.

No, no, it’s better to be an official.

Guo Pu was already looking forward to Zhao Hanzhang giving him a free and wealthy official.

Zhao Hanzhang returned to the house and couldn't help but sneeze again. She couldn't help but wonder, did she really have a cold?

But after feeling it, there was nothing wrong with my throat and my back wasn’t cold.

Tinghe stepped forward and said, "Girl, the hot water is ready."

Zhao Hanzhang came back to his senses, nodded and said: "Okay, you go down."

Fu Tinghan asked Zhao Hanzhang to take a bath first. He put all the messy red dates and nuts on the bed into a box, made the bed, and then put on his clothes and went to a side room to take a bath.

When he hurried in from outside the house with his hair disheveled, Zhao Hanzhang was already sitting cross-legged on the bed, holding a box in his hand and looking at something.

She raised her head and looked at him, "Just wait a little longer. Go to the side room to wash. It's easy to catch a cold when the cold wind blows."

Fu Tinghan folded the fox fur on his body and placed it on the wooden couch, "It doesn't matter, I wrapped it up."

Zhao Hanzhang moved to make room for him, "The quilt has been warmed with Tangbaozi. Come up quickly."

This Tang Pozi was still the Wang family who was afraid of the cold. Zhao Hanzhang asked Qinggu to make it. It was very useful. Then she asked Zhenbao Pavilion to put it on the shelves. From then on, it began to spread, and now many people are using it.

Even after the usage spread, some people who couldn't afford a metal hot water bottle used cowhide, sheepskin or other animal skins to make hot water bottles.

Fu Tinghan sat across from her, and when he saw that she was still holding the box, he coughed slightly uncomfortably, "It seems to be getting late..."

Zhao Hanzhang smiled and handed the box to him, "Look, what is being sent from Taiyuan Hospital."

Fu Tinghan took it and looked at the things inside with some confusion: "What is this..."

He reacted belatedly and his eyes widened, "Can this be done?"

"We have even made a radio station. As long as we find the right materials, what can't be done in this world?" Zhao Hanzhang said: "I don't want to get pregnant for the time being, at least I don't want to have a baby when the world is uncertain. This is the best way."

Fu Tinghan: "I thought I would use medicine..." He naturally knew that it was not appropriate for them to have children at this time. He had already consulted the imperial doctor. Men can also use medicine to prevent pregnancy.

"Medicine hurts the body, so don't use it too much." Zhao Hanzhang approached him, kissed the corner of his mouth, and said softly: "Let's use this first, and then we'll see if it doesn't work."

Fu Tinghan's throat moved, he put his arms around her lower back and whispered, "Okay."

Zhao Hanzhang rarely had a good sleep. When he opened his eyes, it was already bright outside, and the light shining into the room through the window was even a bit dazzling.

Zhao Hanzhang turned his head and glanced at Fu Tinghan, who was still closing his eyes. Seeing that his eyelashes were trembling, he stepped forward and stared into his eyes, and asked in a low voice: "Are you awake yet?"

Fu Tinghan's eyelids moved but did not open.

Zhao Hanzhang smiled, gently lifted the quilt and stood up, "Then you continue to sleep, I will get up first."

Zhao Hanzhang changed his clothes and went to wash up in the side room next door. Tinghe and other servants were already waiting for her. After taking care of her, there was movement in the main room.

Tinghe said: "Aunt Ren from the princess's courtyard came over this morning and asked, where can the girl and the husband go back to have dinner today?"

Zhao Hanzhang thought for a while and then said: "Today I have to see Mr. Ji, and I have to go to the palace to see the little emperor. Just say that we are busy with official business. If we have time in the afternoon, we will go back for dinner."

Zhao Hanzhang washed his face, wiped something and asked: "When did it snow last night? Is it heavy?"

"It rained in the middle of the night, it wasn't heavy. When I woke up this morning, the servants all said it was Ruixue."

"It is indeed Ruixue," Zhao Hanzhang said with a smile: "This is the third snow this year. It is not particularly heavy, but it is thick enough to cover the wheat. You go prepare a gift and go to Mr. Ji's house later. Use it when meeting Guo Pu."

Tinghe responded and asked, "But I wonder what Mr. Guo likes?"

Zhao Hanzhang thought for a while and then said: "Forget it, I'll ask Tinghan for some draft paper later. You go find a good box and put it in it later."

Tinghe was dumbfounded, "Send, give me draft paper? Or is it the one Lang Jun used?"

Zhao Hanzhang nodded her forehead and said: "Don't underestimate his draft paper. In the hearts of people who understand, it is a priceless treasure."

Listening to He, she began to think deeply. She had to talk to Fu An. From now on, Lang Jun's things, even the scraps of paper, must be kept well and not thrown away.

Zhao Hanzhang stretched his muscles in the yard and returned to the house after the exercise. Fu Tinghan also washed up. After dinner, they went to Ji Yuan's house together.

Fu Tinghan brought his manuscript for calculating the five stars. Of course it was not a draft. It was calculated carefully by him, and there were still some things he didn't understand. It just so happened that Guo Pu was good at arithmetic and astronomy, and he also wanted to ask him for advice.

Ancient stargazing and astral calculations were actually very advanced. Even in modern times, they are still ahead of the West. Their theories are still outdated even in modern times, and there are even mysteries that they cannot solve.

He never dared to underestimate any of his ancestors.

He carefully organized the manuscripts and put them into the box, feeling a little guilty, "Would it be inappropriate to take this as a gift?"

"No, giving gifts is about giving him what he likes. Isn't this something good for him?" Zhao Hanzhang affirmed: "He will definitely like it."

Fu Tinghan thought for himself. If someone gave him the difficult problem he was calculating and discussed it together, he would be very happy, so he nodded, closed the box, and said, "Let's go."

The two of them went to Ji Yuan's house together. Ji Yuan had expected it and greeted them at the gate in advance.

Zhao Hanzhang asked: "Sir, could you sleep well last night?"

Ji Yuan: "I am sleeping peacefully, but I don't know if other colleagues are sleeping peacefully."

Zhao Hanzhang burst out laughing, not feeling guilty for leaving such a problem and making them unable to have a good year.

Ji Yuan invited them to an attic in the garden, where there was a second floor with large windows. Guo Pu was enjoying the snow around the stove on the second floor.

Guo Pu was drinking hot wine when he saw the three people coming up. He quickly stood up to greet them and said, "Guo pays homage to the general."

Zhao Hanzhang supported him and said: "Hurry up and forgive me. I have heard about Mr. Guo's reputation for a long time, and today I saw that he is well-deserved. I heard that Kuai Yi and others were able to reach Luoyang safely only because of his leadership, and they avoided many dangers along the way."

Guo Pu was not modest and said directly: "It's just a small plan. Small disasters can be avoided, but major disasters are difficult to resolve. We can only adapt to the weather and make preparations in advance."

"Oh? But I wonder what big disasters will happen to Dajin within this year?"

Guo Pu suddenly raised his eyes and looked straight at her. After a moment, he suddenly smiled and said, "There are no major natural disasters. It is as small as drought and floods in some counties. With the ability of a general, it can be settled quickly."

Zhao Hanzhang: "That means someone is in trouble?"

"Misfortune depends on blessings, and it cannot be said that the general is a blessing." Guo Pu said: "The destiny has been changed because of the virtue of the general. As long as the general does not forget his original intention and does not repeat the path of King Donghai, Gou Xi and others, then There is no big disaster for the country."

Zhao Hanzhang laughed and picked up the wine glass, "Okay, Mr. Guo's good wishes!"

Guo Pu's eyes flashed slightly and he drank all the wine. He thought she would ask him about his destiny.

After all, who could resist the temptation?

King Langya asked, and even Wang Dun secretly inquired about it, but he didn't expect that she would not even mention it, but directly changed the topic to another side, "The imperial court lacks talents like Mr. Guo. I wonder if Mr. Guo is willing to stay in Luoyang for official?"

"this……"

Zhao Hanzhang said: "I can recommend you to be the Young Minister of Taichang Temple."

Guo Pu's eyes flashed slightly, and she said it was a recommendation, but actually coming from her, it was almost like a direct reward.

The Shaoqing of Taichang Temple, whose status is second only to that of Taichang Qing, is mainly to assist Taichang Qing in activities such as sacrifices, rituals and music, community and education, oh, and also divination, calendar calculation, etc.

Zhao Hanzhang's wedding yesterday was also included in Taichang Temple's responsibilities.

There is not much work in this place. According to Guo Pu's understanding, unless the emperor dies or ascends the throne and the monarch changes, everyone usually does the basic work of calendar calculation.

The almanac currently used by the imperial court basically copies the Taichu calendar. In some places, it has not been changed and the Taichu calendar is used. They just revise it every year and print more books for distribution. The work is very leisurely.

An adjutant had a high status, a high salary, and plenty of time to spare. Guo Pu weighed it up and thought he could take on the job. The most important thing was that he escaped, and King Langya and Wang Dun would definitely want to get rid of him quickly.

After all, they asked him such fatal questions separately.

Along the way, he relied solely on his own talents and talents to avoid the waves of people who came to capture or kill him. The world is so big, and the only people who can protect him now are the King of Shu and Zhao Hanzhang.

King Shu... forget it, it's not a sure thing. What if King Langya gives him too much and sells him?

And now the King of Shu has also surrendered to Zhao Hanzhang, so Zhao Hanzhang is still the most powerful.

Destiny guided him here, which means that this is his destination.

After making up his mind, Guo Pu stood up, bowed and said, "How dare you disobey me!"

Zhao Hanzhang laughed happily and said: "I arranged a house for my husband, right next to the Imperial College. Zhao Zitu, the Minister of the Supreme Court, offered wine to the Imperial College and studied in the Imperial College. I think your husband's magic is extremely powerful. Why don't you, sir, get your name in Taixue and become a doctor?"

Guo Pu hesitated for a moment, and Ji Yuan on the side smiled and said: "It's just magic. Zhao Jijiu teaches the Classics and History Collection, and he also has time to drink and drink tea every day. Mr. Guo doesn't need to worry about time."

Guo Pu thought the same thing. The official school did not attach much importance to subjects such as arithmetic and mathematics, far less than the intensity of the classics and history.

It seems that he can give it a try and get two salaries. It is not that he loves money, but that he has just arrived in Luoyang and is penniless. When he becomes an official, he needs to buy a lot of things and buy slaves. He has no money. .

So he agreed under Zhao Hanzhang's expectant eyes and Ji Yuan's encouragement.

Zhao Hanzhang was happy and gave him the gift he had brought.

Guo Pu originally wanted to wait for others to leave before opening it, but Zhao Hanzhang looked at him expectantly, "Mr. Guo, don't you open it and have a look?"

Guo Pu paused and opened the box.

Guo Pu:! !

He picked up the manuscript inside with confusion. Zhao Hanzhang wouldn't give him poems, would he?

Although it is indeed an honor to do so, he is even more short of money now...

After seeing the contents of the manuscript clearly, the expression on Guo Pu's face gradually turned serious. He looked seriously and at the same time performed rapid mental calculations. When he saw the five-star motion trajectory diagram in the next picture, Guo Pu sat upright. He lifted his body and asked excitedly: "Who calculated this? General, please tell me who painted this?"

Zhao Hanzhang pointed to Fu Tinghan.

Guo Pu turned to look at Fu Tinghan, who had been sitting quietly since going upstairs. He clenched the manuscript paper in his hand. He leaned forward and took Fu Tinghan's hand. "A fellow man, Fu Langjun, this five-star trajectory chart What did you draw it based on?”

"The difference in the elliptical orbit I calculated is the difference in the sun's gain and contraction." After calculating the difference in gain and contraction, we can naturally draw a trajectory diagram.

In fact, he started making astronomical maps to fulfill his promise to Zhao Hanzhang and find his way home; but later they found it impossible and gradually accepted the world. He continued to do research just to write a new almanac.

"Oval, elliptical, why is the movement of your five stars elliptical?" Guo Pu said: "The celestial bodies move because of the rigid energy and the energy of the sky, but their movements are not fast or slow, so why are they elliptical?"

Fu Tinghan said: "Because the movement trajectories of the five stars are straight and curved, especially at perihelion, there is a profit and contraction difference."

"How do you know that trajectories are straight and curved?"

Fu Tinghan said: "It can be observed. In fact, I am more curious about the trajectory of stars and numerology, as well as the relationship between time and weather." This is one of the reasons why he has been reluctant to write the almanac even though he is doing calculations. He will Forget it, but he still doesn’t know how to use it comprehensively.

Recently, I have spent my spare time reading the astronomical theories of the past, as well as some data.

However, due to the war, there were not many official records and books left. For a while, he was in a state of having no books to read and no information to check.

He needs someone who is knowledgeable and knowledgeable to lead him, and Guo Pu is a very suitable candidate.

Guo Pu paused for a moment, put down the manuscript paper, and sat upright, "But I don't know whether Fu Langjun thinks the sky and the earth are round or covered?"

The theory of Hun Tian has been around since the Warring States Period, but it was generally not recognized. It was not until the Han Dynasty that more voices recognized the theory of Hun Tian. But to this day, the two views are still at odds with each other. Some people even know that the sky is round. , suspended in the universe, refusing to admit it.

So now we are still divided into two factions.

Guo Pu felt that when discussing academics, one should find someone with the same basic knowledge, otherwise the rest of the time would be spent arguing, which would seriously affect his lifespan, so he had to ask clearly first.

Fu Tinghan said: "The sky and the earth are round, like a sphere, and the earth is like a chicken. The sky we see is actually the atmosphere..."

Zhang Heng of the Han Dynasty believed that the sky was bigger than the earth, and that the sky and the earth were like an egg. The sky was the egg white, and the earth was the yolk in the middle of the egg, so the earth was wrapped by the sky.

In fact, to a certain extent, his imagination and conclusions are correct.

When Zhao Hanzhang saw that they were talking, he looked at Ji Yuan, nodded, stood up and left.

Ji Yuan hurriedly stood up and quietly followed, leaving the two of them discussing their opinions upstairs.

Zhao Hanzhang stepped on the crunching snow and walked to a plum tree. After looking again and again, Ji Yuan handed her a pair of scissors.

Zhao Hanzhang cut out the plum blossoms he liked, "I heard that the plum blossoms in Luoyang in the past two days have caused the students in Taixue and Luoyang schools to become bald."

Ji Yuan: "This is also their blessing for the girl and the husband."

Zhao Hanzhang handed the cut red plum to Tinghe and said, "Take it, and I will give it to His Majesty in the palace later."

Ting He held the flower branches and went down.

Zeng Yue stood far away, while Zhao Hanzhang played with the scissors in his hands and asked, "What did everyone think last night?"

Ji Yuan smiled and said: "After several years of war, there are many officials who only have daughters in their families. Moreover, it is their daughter who inherits the family property after all. Everyone still loves their children. This problem is not big. It is just a change to the female household system..."

"Service and taxes are a big issue," he said.

"Yes," Zhao Hanzhang sighed: "I also know that most women are not as strong as men, so men are needed for labor along the way. What if labor is changed to donation?"

"You mean, the female head of the household donates money in lieu of labor?"

Zhao Hanzhang nodded, "Women are good at weaving. They can use silk and linen cloth for labor. However, if there are adult men in the family, they are not eligible to donate for labor."

Ji Yuan thought deeply: "If this happens, I'm afraid female households will become more popular. Then..."

Zhao Hanzhang smiled and said: "Then reduce the damage of labor, increase the reward of labor, balance it, and maybe suppress the second and third."

Ji Yuan frowned slightly, then straightened his eyebrows, "Did the girl do it on purpose? Everyone in the world is seeking profit, and a female household is obviously more cost-effective than a male household. When the time comes, the poor people in the world will definitely favor female households and despise male households." household."

Zhao Hanzhang sighed and said: "Sir, the methods are too harsh and can easily arouse people's rebellious feelings. Don't you always advise me to do it slowly? Today, among the 389 students in Taixue, there are only 16 female students. ."

"I looked up and saw that there are not many female students in the country who can be admitted to Imperial College. I advertised all over the world to recruit students, but there are also very few female students who come to study." Zhao Hanzhang said: "There is a shortage of people in the world, but there are many women. Why not use them?"

"Women know better how to use women and let them contribute to this country. Because of the education system and official system of the previous thirty years, there were not many women studying. Therefore, within ten years, the number of female officials I can use is limited. And there are even fewer women from the lower class." Zhao Hanzhang said: "I can only work from the bottom up. I don't know how many capable women can be raised in the future through the reform of the female household system, but as long as there is one, she will affect the people around her. Those who have no regrets will have no regrets.”

Ji Yuan fell silent, and finally nodded and said, "I will try my best to facilitate this matter."

Zhao Hanzhang smiled contentedly.

"Oh, how did you know this?" The discussion upstairs became louder and louder, and Ji Yuan and Zhao Hanzhang turned to look over.

Zhao Hanzhang said: "I will ask people to find a suitable house, and I will ask the soldiers to help clean it later. Guo Pu is very important. I plan to rebuild the almanac. This will not be accomplished in a day. Please be sure to stabilize him."

Ji Yuan had a headache, "I think he is a lazy and unrestrained person. The girl gave him so much work at once..."

"Hey, I don't want him to accept so much at once. It's still the Chinese New Year. Let's get settled first. The classes at Taixue can be started two months later. Let's get used to the work at Taichang Temple first. The most important thing is the almanac. The almanac must be obtained, preferably a rough and simple one before spring, and the weather, so that he can do more calculations."

Such a useful weather forecaster should be wasted if not used.

Ji Yuan endured it, but still couldn't hold it in, "Don't you want to ask him about his destiny?"

Zhao Hanzhang looked at him curiously, "Don't Mr. Ji not believe this?"

"I don't believe it, but many people in the world believe it. I don't think the girl is a person who doesn't believe it at all."

Zhao Hanzhang burst out laughing, then became serious, and said in a deep voice: "We have already decided to do something, and there is no way out, so why bother asking ghosts and gods again?"

If you get good news, you will be proud and complacent, and you will neglect to take precautions; if you get bad news, you will be anxious and sad, and you will act biasedly.

Since you can't get good things from both sides, it's better to just ignore it and just follow your own plan.

Ji Yuan loved her calmness and determination the most, and immediately said: "Don't worry, lady, I will give you news on New Year's Eve."

Zhao Hanzhang said happily: "Sir, I can rest assured that you will take action."

Fu Tinghan and Guo Pu hit it off immediately and hated meeting each other so late. They even ate lunch on it and ignored Zhao Hanzhang and Ji Yuan at all. When it got late and Zhao Hanzhang called Fu Tinghan to go home, Guo Pu also sent them all the way. When I arrived at the gate, I saw the man mounting his horse and was reluctant to leave. I held his hand and told him earnestly, "You must come to see me again tomorrow, otherwise I can come to visit you. Maybe you can stay tonight and we can Sleep with enough rest."

Fu Tinghan, who was still thinking about tomorrow's itinerary, immediately said: "I will come to you tomorrow."

Good night
