Chapter 321 So You Should Send Me a New Poem

On a table, there was a pair of blank paper. Su Shi was standing in front of the table, holding a brush, and was painting quickly. Looking closely, this painting was indeed a landscape painting, with mountains and rivers, cold In the painting, there is a back figure of a man with flapping clothes standing there, walking in the valley.

On the side, a middle-aged man stood aside, watching Su Shi painting, and the servants of the surrounding county magistrate's mansion also retreated, only the servant who had been following Su Shi stood quietly aside.

With the completion of Su Shi's last painting, this landscape painting will be completed soon.

"it is good."

The middle-aged man next to him said in admiration.

Su Shi smiled and said, "Sir, it's absurd."

"This is not a false praise. This painting is indeed excellent in terms of form and meaning. It is suitable for the occasion, and it is very suitable for the recent autumn."

The middle-aged man smiled: "When I came to visit the county magistrate, I heard that the magistrate's poems and paintings are outstanding, but I didn't expect Zizhan's paintings to be so brilliant."

Su Shi smiled: "Sir, don't take it seriously."

The middle-aged man appraised the painting carefully, and said, "Is this painting missing some inscriptions? It would be even better if there were a poem."

"That is, this painting should naturally be accompanied by words, let me fill in one."

Su Shi took the brush again and began to quickly write on the painting. The title of the poem he started with was "Linjiang Fairy".

The middle-aged man watched from the side, and read while watching: "The four great things are always full, so there is no doubt about Fengshui here. Therefore, you should write a new poem for me. The flowers are fragrant in the valley, and the cold algae are dancing in the ripples. I have two armpits with Yuchuan , the gods may not love each other. They still send people home with flowing water. The sun is setting on the top of the layer, and the grass and dew have stained the clothes."

"Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful."

The middle-aged man said three wonderful words in one breath, Su Shi put down the pen and stamped the seal, and the servant beside him said with a smile: "My lord, if this painting gets out, it will probably cause looting."

"That's not so exaggerated. Go get some tea, and I'll have a chat with Mr."

The servant went down, and Su Shi sat down with the middle-aged man. After finishing the meal that day, the middle-aged man came to visit. Unexpectedly, he and Su Shi had a great chat, and before they knew it, they had become I made a close friend, and the middle-aged man also lives in Mi County.

Not long after, the servant brought tea, and Su Shi sat down separately from the middle-aged man.

Afterwards, the middle-aged man said: "I don't have such a good literary talent as Zizhan."

Su Dongpo said with a smile: "So what's the matter, Mr.'s talent also discouraged me. I talked with him a few times, but I am the county magistrate, and Mr. is more suitable. Poems and paintings can't govern the country. They can be used with Mr. It's much smaller."

The middle-aged man said with a smile: "Governing a big country is like cooking a small fish. In my opinion, there are still many shortcomings in Xinguo."

Su Dongpo nodded: "By the way, what you said last time is that the aristocrats of the new country tend to be big. Is there a solution? I have sent people to investigate, and it is indeed as you said. It is not a good thing to favor talents from aristocratic families, and give priority to talents from your own family when promoting filial piety."

The middle-aged man stroked his beard: "This is the solution. I have already heard from Datian. It depends on whether His Majesty Xin Guo has the idea to solve it. Now that the aristocratic family has just formed, it is quite simple to control it. It needs to be thoroughly investigated from top to bottom, and it will be easy to clean up the new country, and it will also be easy to deter those aristocratic families."

Su Dongpo was a little surprised: "This is what Datian heard? How did you do it?"

"It's simple, it's just that people spread some rumors among the people, and released the situation that Zizhan found out before, and these rumors will reach the ears of the court ministers, and naturally they will also reach the ears of His Majesty."

Su Shi was thoughtful, and the man said, "So don't worry about Zizhan, just wait and see."

"Sir, you are a great talent. What if you stay in Xinguo and serve as an official in Xinguo?"

The man smiled: "Let's have a look again."

Su Shi regretted for a while, and said with a smile: "If the master is willing, I would like to paint for him every day."

The man laughed, and the two laughed together.

south county.

Ren Tian walked on the streets of Nan County with his hands behind his back.

The current Nan County is already a large county, and the next step is the urban stage.

Looking around, compared with before, it is more lively, the buildings on the street are more orderly, the flags are fluttering, there are people driving horse-drawn carriages, some are selling goods, some are in groups, even the snack bars on the roadside, It was all steaming hot.

"Bun, bun!"

The voices of peddlers continued, and Ren Tian stopped for a moment when he passed by: "Here are three buns."

The little eunuch at the side hurriedly took out some silver coins to pay, Ren Tian took the bun, took a bite, it was steaming hot, the taste of fresh meat and flour mixed together, he was really happy to eat it.

There are children playing with the trap next to it, and there are some small gadgets on the ground. If they are caught by the trap, they will naturally belong to them. There are also rouge and gouache shops next to it, but they are all small shops.

In the distance, there are still people pulling the cart and walking outside.

As far as the eye can see, it is full of fireworks in the world.

"Let's go, go to the gatehouse of diners."

"Yes."

The little eunuch led Ren Tian towards the east gate.

After leaving the gate of the eastern county seat, Ren Tian discovered that all the land on the eastern side had been expropriated for re-planning and became a part of Nanxian County. The Beicheng District looks normal, except that the Beicheng District is already very bustling and lively, and there is also a miracle building, the Golden Terrace, built there. This place is newly built, and it will take some time for it to become prosperous.

Going forward, Ren Tian also saw an archway, which said DC District, the blue bricks on the ground had been paved, and there were some houses and inns beside it.

"Young Master Huang, the diner gatehouse is over there."

The little eunuch stopped in front of a building. It was right next to the archway and the bridge to the east. It was also a conspicuous building.

This gatehouse for diners is also quite magnificent, with a full height of four floors, which is already considered a very tall building. As for the structure inside, it is actually similar to an inn.

Ren Tian walked in with his hands behind his back. The so-called diners were similar to diners. During the Spring and Autumn Period, some people liked to raise scholars and feed them, and these diners helped with some things.

There are only a few well-known diners, but Ren Tian does not expect to always find historical talents. Now that the Xinguo is so big, there is a shortage of talents from all walks of life, such as basic talents, and the small officials that are needed in the county. , and there are talents in the life industry, tailors and blacksmiths, etc. Anyway, as long as they are useful talents, all comers are welcome.
