The number one scholar of the Song Dynasty

What Yang Lin said to him before had deeply affected him, and winning the battle in the Great Song Dynasty was the greatest reliance.There are people in his court, as long as he has a record, no one can touch him.

When the news reached Bianliang, it happened to be the time when the list was released. Zhao Ji was very happy after being ashamed for a while.

There is no emperor in any dynasty who desires martial arts more than the Song Dynasty, just because they built their country on the tip of the knife.The sixteen prefectures of Yanyun have always been a barrier against the grassland peoples in the north, but the Song Dynasty has never had it. This is the natural lifeline of the Song Dynasty.

Since Tong Guan had won the battle, Zhao Ji was not without pride because he overcame all opinions and let him take command.Coupled with the praise of Cai Jing and others, and the skillful laying of steps for the emperor, Zhao Ji felt more face-saving, and any unhappiness disappeared.

Zhao Ji was promoted to Tongguan in the Tang Dynasty, and was promoted to be the envoy of Xihe Lanhuang and Qinfeng Road Economic Strategy Appeasement System, and became the highest military and political officer in the Northwest Border Region.

In Bianliang City, under the Jinshi list, countless people gathered.

Some people laughed loudly, some cried bitterly, some felt mournful, and some wept with joy

In the Changle building, Ning'er was combing her hair in front of the bronze mirror with her bare feet.It's just a pair of eyes, looking back from the mirror from time to time to see the shadow of the young man.

Behind her, Yang Lin looked a little frivolous, holding a gold cup, leaning on the railing and looking into the distance, seeing all the prosperity of Bianliang.The jade belt was half tied around the waist, the robe was loose and loose, and a clean and flawless white jade pendant adorned it, it seemed that he had just woken up not long ago.

Downstairs in Changle, Yang San, who came panting heavily, looked happy, and shouted loudly: "Young master, young master, you got hit!"

Pedestrians around stopped to see which young master high school it was.

Yang San was even more proud. He held his head high, patted his chest, and then picked up Thumb and shouted loudly: "Congratulations to my young master Yang San. He won the first place in the provincial exam in high school. My young master Yang San won two yuan in a row. It is Yangzhou Jieyuan."

The passers-by next to him couldn't stand it anymore, and angrily said: "Young boy Wu, you are so arrogant. After shouting for a long time, you know that your name is Yang San, but let me tell you about our name Sheng Yuanlang."

"That's right, who knows that your name is Yang San."

Yang San was scolded by the passers-by, shamefaced, covered his face and fled, causing the surrounding pedestrians to burst into laughter.Two local people in Bianliang pointed at him and smiled, "Looking at the boy, I can really pretend."

The other continued: "Who says it's not, it's embarrassing now, haha."

Ning'er was pleasantly surprised, she turned her head and clapped her hands and danced cheerfully, then she bowed her skirt and said in blessing, "Congratulations Dalang, congratulations Dalang!"

After a loud laugh, Yang Lin on the tall building successfully attracted everyone's attention, and then said loudly: "The article is surrounded by five clouds, and fame is like a cloud of smoke to me. What a mere province, Yang Lin is not rare at all."

The two old Bianliang downstairs froze in place, and after a while whispered: "I take back what I just said, but his young master is better at pretending."

Chapter 37 The Exam Questions of the Wonderful Emperor

"The character of money is Kong Fang, and a blind date is like a brother. Danger can make you safe, death can make you live, wealth can make you cheap, and life can make you kill. No matter what you do, it must be money."

In Yangzhou Mansion, there is such a pair of words hanging in Yang Tong's study room, which comes from Lu Bao's "On the God of Money" in the Western Jin Dynasty.

In the past, Yang Tong liked this calligraphy the most, but now he happily ordered his servants to tear down the golden silk nanmu framed calligraphy.

"My son won the provincial yuan. Our Yang family can't hang such calligraphy and paintings, which is just ridiculous. You know, the Yang Mansion is not just the house of me, Yang Tong, a businessman, but the former residence of my son who won two yuan in a row. , more or less must smell of ink, or I will be sorry for my son who won two yuan in a row."

The shopkeepers and clerks around him echoed one after another. The news came that the young master's high school Shengyuan had opened up the rewards.

There is no one who does not pick on Brother Thumbs up about Yang Lin's character. Of course, that is the old Yang Lin.

Since the news came from the capital, Yang Tong has been so happy that he has not slept a wink for two days, reporting to his ancestors in the ancestral hall every day, otherwise he would go to Yunmiao Temple to fulfill his wish.

Zhao Jin, the shopkeeper of the Yang Family Pawn Shop, said with a smile: "Boss, our Dalang must be a high school official who has been released from high school. Why don't you make a plan early and go to the place where he takes office? After all, there are people in the court who can handle things easily." , don’t you think so?”

Yang Tong's face turned cold, and he scolded: "Fart, let me tell you, we can't find trouble for Lin'er. We are in Yangzhou, and we still worry about not making money. This place is the center of water transportation in the world, and money is like flowing water. Go south There are a large number of weaving households in Suzhou, which can deal in cotton cloth. If the cotton cloth and silk from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the tea and bamboo from Huizhou are sold in all directions, and then the timber and grain from the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River are transported to the lower reaches of the Yangtze River for sale, the canal waterway can also be used. , to transport the cotton and soybeans from the north to the south of the Yangtze River, and then transport the special products from the south of the Yangtze River to the north.

After these words, it can be seen that Yang Tong was able to get the title of "wealthy and powerful", it was definitely not luck.

This kind of knowledge is rare in Jiangnan where rich merchants are everywhere.

After a while, a servant came from outside, with joy on his face, he lowered his hands and said, "Master, Da Lang sent someone back to deliver a message."

As soon as Yang Tong regained his energy, he said anxiously, "Oh? What did my son say?"

"Da Lang said that Bianliang rice is expensive. He just opened a Changle building and spent all his savings."

Before the servant could finish speaking, Yang Tong turned around and said to Zhao Jin, "Quickly withdraw 10 taels of silver for me and send it to Bianliang."

Zhao Jin smiled and nodded, remembering it in his heart.

The servant continued: "Da Lang also said that we should send his four adoptive sons to Bianliang so that he can watch them early."

"Da Lang is really kind. Such a person is a blessing to the imperial court, the common people, and the Song Dynasty."

"hehe"

Tokyo, Bianliang, Prime Minister Cai Jingfu enter.

Cai Jing's temper has not been very good these days, Yang Lin always walks around him, so he won't come to Cai's mansion easily.

A few days ago, the admonisher Chen Qu impeached him for making friends with the servants. Although Chen Qu was convicted and dismissed, Cai Jing was also scolded by the emperor for this.

Today Cai Jing took the initiative to send someone to call him to the Cai Mansion, and now he couldn't escape, so Yang Lin had no choice but to bite the bullet and come to the mansion of the Prime Minister.

Unexpectedly, there is also Yang Jian from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. A few days ago, Cai Jing was impeached for befriending a servant, but he did not expect to dare to meet Yang Jian at the mansion, which shows the arrogance of these people now.

Yang Lin entered the living room and said with a smile: "Boy Yang Lin pays homage to my husband, Brother Yang, I greet you."

Cai Jing wiped his eyelids, and said in a deep voice: "I haven't seen you for a while, isn't it because I saw the old man being reprimanded by the officials, so I have to deliberately distance myself?"

Before Yang Lin could call Tian Qu, Yang Jian said with a smile, "Brother Yang is not that kind of person."

Yang Lin glanced at him gratefully, rubbed his nose and said with a sneer, "What is my husband talking about, who is this kid, and he can escape my husband's eyes? If he is really that kind of person, he will definitely not be able to get in here today." Cai's."

Cai Jing couldn't hold back any longer, and laughed out loud: "Your boy is the most naughty, it must be because I am in a bad mood, and I hide far away, can I still eat you? I called you today because there is a A great thing has happened to you kid."

Yang Lin thumped in his heart, could it be that Cai Jing wants to marry his daughter and granddaughter to me, and he attended the family banquet of Cai's mansion by himself a few days ago, his female relatives are really greedy

"Hey, if my husband has any concerns, Yang Lin must not dare to brush them off."

Cai Jing frowned, feeling that Yang Lin had suddenly become a bit wretched, and said indifferently: "This matter is a blessing that Eunuch Yang gave you, so let Eunuch Yang talk about it."

Yang Jian chuckled, and said: "Brother Yang, I was at Concubine Liu Guifei's natal family before, and His Majesty recommended our family to be in charge of the Cuju League. Our family has kept it in mind. This time, my brother is a senior high school student, and he has a bright future. It will be the icing on the cake and help you win the champion."

Yang Lin's eyes lit up, and he said hurriedly, "Could it be that there is something inside?"

"A few days ago at the former site of Taiyi Palace with the officials, I heard the officials say that the previous palace examinations were all about Confucianism, but this time the officials want to test and teach you the essence of Taoism. The questions for this palace examination" Yang Jian looked around, lowered his voice and said, "It's "Easy Numbers."

Yang Lin froze in place, taking the "Yi Shu" test?

Yishu is a classic of Taoism. I have heard that Zhao Ji worships Taoism, but I didn't expect to be so frivolous.

The palace examination is a national event, does he dare to be so capricious?

But thinking that he was the famous Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty, Yang Lin knew what he couldn't do.
