Sheng Shian

As expected, many people gathered in the front yard to explain their ideas, and when it got heated, some people scolded each other disregarding the politeness.

Li Yunfu and Wen Tong mixed into the crowd, sometimes participating in the defense, sometimes keeping the good strategy in their hearts, and they were extremely busy.

The Hanlin Academy, which has always been quiet and far-reaching, is now more lively than the temple fair.

When it was in full swing, there was an editorial office of the Imperial Academy, where the most people gathered. He was talking eloquently: "Jiangcheng is connected to the Yellow River and surrounded by water. If there is a heavy rain in the coming year, the tide here will definitely rise, causing disasters for thousands of miles. It is feasible to use Jiangcheng as the fortress and strengthen the dam to divert the water..."

"It's true insight!"

"Miaozai... Miaozai..."

Li Yunfu didn't intend to speak out, but seeing that there were many caterers, he couldn't help but said anxiously: "This statement is wrong. The Jiangcheng has been built every year, and it has already been solidified. Starting from here is just superfluous, and the Qiantang River passes through the Three Gorges. The water is fast and fierce. Except for the dikes and dams here, there is no way to pass through the canal, it must be a serious disaster!"

That Renxing was interrupted, and he wanted to refute, but he was a little bit at a loss. When he saw Li Yunfu, he curled his lips and said: "Song Ge old disciple, of course what you said is the most reasonable words."

The words were like chewing gravel, which made people feel uncomfortable.

Wen Tongben became annoyed when he heard this tone: "If you are not happy, you can say that you are ugly, but you can't argue with other people who are here with yin and yang, what kind of gentleman!"

"You spew blood!" Everyone was educated in sage books and couldn't utter a word of obscenity. After being scolded so bluntly, his face flushed uncontrollably. He suddenly thought of something: "I'm not a gentleman." , and will not marry a widow!"

Those who were discussing were hooked by the word "widow" and looked sideways.

Li Yunfu was also worried that Wen Tong would hurt his peace because of himself, and was about to stop it. Hearing this, he immediately stood up with a gloomy face: "Sit in meditation and always think about your own mistakes, and chat with others. You and I are Jinshi in the Hanlin Academy. Instead of judging yourself, but fighting against each other, using vicious words to slander the virtues of others, how is such behavior different from a villain?!"

"It's really confusing right and wrong. Li told Shizhong and Wenshi that one called me a gentleman, and the other called me a villain. Could it be that relying on the officialdom to prevent people from freedom of speech! Although I am only a small editor, but If I'm bent by the power—" The man spit straight: "Don't even think about it!"

Since ancient times, literati have looked down on each other, and there are countless people who don't see each other, not to mention people like Li Yunfu and Shen Shi, who are famous people like Li Yunfu and Shen Shi.

Now being challenged by this editor, his mouth is quite upright and awe-inspiring, but the other party is a newcomer with three people in the first class, and the people who are scattered around to listen, can't help but tilt the balance in their hearts towards the weak, and gossip one after another stand up.

"You beat me up!" Wen Tong yelled angrily, but Shen Shi pulled down his sleeves and signaled him not to put on the trap. Everyone gathered here just to solicit good words, and most of the quarrels in the market were ignored.

Shen changed the topic, and said softly: "Aren't you just talking about the construction of water conservancy projects? I have benefited a lot from listening to it, and suddenly quarreled, not to mention these things. This colleague has been talking eloquently for a long time. I Seeing that you are so broad-minded and talented, can you answer a question for me?"

The man became vigilant, but now the fourth-rank officer put a high hat on him, humbly asked for advice, and everyone looked at him. If he didn't respond, he would appear to be a laughing stock of his previous arrogance: "Things that the dignified champion doesn't understand, I will tell you what to do next." Less talented and less learned, may not be able to solve puzzles."

There is no shortage of talented people in the Imperial Academy. When they heard that the number one scholar who had pacified Chongming and was brought back to the capital by Lixian Corporal Liu Hou Ye had a question, they all became very energetic and wanted to hear what he could ask. .

If he can solve it himself, wouldn't he be even more powerful than Zhuangyuan Lang.

"Too modest, there is a priority in hearing the truth, and there is a specialization in art. I have passed the court today, who knows that I am a blind spot in water control..."

Shen Shi smiled: "It's just that, from what I've heard along the way, some talk about building foundations for dams, diverting canals, and irrigating farmland, all of which can be found everywhere... The Holy Majesty said that water conservancy should be built, and I think these measures are at best It can only be considered as 'repair', so how to 'rejuvenate'?"

Everyone is stunned by the words, yes, everyone has different views on the theory of cultivation, and everyone has their own opinions. If you want to win by surprise, you still need to start with the word "Xing". How can you be happy?This edit is not general, he understands that Shen Shaoqing must have something to think about, and he is willing to say it.

Because neither he nor anyone else will answer this question, only Shen Shaoqing who has given up the right to participate can answer.

He rolled his eyes, he could bend and stretch, he bet that Shen Shaoqing must have good words, so he bowed to the three: "I offended you so much just now, I wonder what Shen Shaoqing's opinion is?"

It's all right, such a focus, but it's all over. Shen was thinking about something, he said slowly: "I'm an outsider in water control, but the Daqi Mutual Market has been implemented for a long time, and the brocade inside the pass cannot be transported out, and the horses outside the pass cannot be transported in. The food piled up in the village was full of insects, and the desolate people outside the city changed their children to eat. Now that water and roads are built, if the canals are dug into the city and the business is prosperous, isn’t it the "Maritime Silk Road" that has been passed down through the ages? It’s a fool’s joke. .”

In an instant, some sensitive people have discussed the feasibility of the water control map. Some people say to follow the second Beijing-Hangzhou line, and some say to take the Yellow River as the main line. The thousands of volumes of poems and books in their minds, and the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains they have stepped on, collide with sparks at this moment, vying to be the first gushes out from the mouth of a talented man.

The editor and Li Yunfu discussed it regardless of previous suspicions. For literati, personal enmity is not a thing to mention in front of the great cause of benefiting the people.

"Listening to your words is better than reading ten years of books. If I am lucky enough to be shortlisted this time, I will not forget Shen Shaoqing's kindness." Looking at the drawings, the editor has a deep gap in his heart.

Shen Shi said: "You're welcome, if I can do my best for such a grand plan and great cause, I will be lucky in my life."

The editor looked at several colleagues who had a good conversation, and said to three of them: "Just now I caused you trouble because of my indiscriminate words. If you don't mind, I will be the host today and apologize to you all." , but also for the joy of talking and exchanging, how about it?"

Shen Shi and Li Yunfu had no opinion, and handed over the decision-making power to Wen Tong, who couldn't swallow this breath: "How can there be such a cheap thing, and you are talking about making an apology, and you just want to get some tricks from Brother Shen and Brother Li. Si, if you want to drink this wine, at least we will go to Zuixian Pavilion."

The editor smiled embarrassingly: "As long as you are willing to show your face, not to mention the Zuixian Pavilion, you can go to Qingyuanchun today."

Wen Tong snorted twice: "Then go to Qingyuanchun!"

Li Yunfu pulled him down, Shen shook his head and smiled, and walked up the capital street together, Wen Tong still muttered in dissatisfaction: "Brother Shen, you should just tell me two people, it's just for nothing."

Just as Yun Fu was about to speak, Wen Tong immediately said: "Don't, don't, brother Yun Fu, don't give me those family and country righteousness, I'm just a small belly, I want to build relationships, and I want to get good words, I'll give them all the benefits Over and over again..." Wen Tong gritted his teeth angrily: "No, I'll order the most expensive one, and eat up his monthly salary!"

What Wen Tong said was straightforward, but it seemed frank, and even Li Yunfu smiled indulgently: "Okay, let's order the most expensive one."

Even though Shen returned to Beijing not long ago, he had also heard of Qing Yuanchun's name, it's not easy for an official to engage in sex with prostitutes openly, but here silk and bamboo string music, tulle beauties, all kinds of styles, and they are all talented beauties who sell their skills but not their bodies, Satisfied a group of literati and poets, pretending to be noble.

The editor is very sincere, and specially reserved the elegant seats on the second floor. A row of small and exquisite jade plaques are hung like a bead curtain. If you want to order food, you need to solve an anagram.Inside is a moon-like tapestry screen, embroidered with magnificent cold branches bursting out of the clouds. Everyone is picking up jade cards and telling the answers to the riddles loudly. There are red sleeves around to write down for you.

Wen Tong had never seen such a scene, and sighed: "I don't know who the store is, but there is such a delicate heart..."

The editor smiled and said, "Brother Wen Tong, don't you know? This store is owned by Meng Shan, the richest man in the capital."

Wen Tong: "Who is Meng Shanren?"

In the spring of Qingyuan, there was a sudden commotion. Everyone leaned on the railing and looked. There was a very noble man underneath, dressed in a royal blue satin dress with trimming, and wearing a hair crown with gold silk wings. The sapphire is beautiful, with a correct appearance, but the demeanor of the whole body seems to have been born after going through mountains of swords and seas of swords, without anger and prestige.He was planting people everywhere, as if he was looking for someone.

The editor pointed: "Brother Wen Tong, look, this is Meng Shan. He made his fortune in spices."

Shen is frowning, Meng Shanren, he always felt that the word "good man" is completely different from this personality, so he intentionally sounded it: "This Meng Shanren acts like wind and electricity, he doesn't seem like someone who can quietly develop spices..."

The editor said: "No, I heard that it was prepared by his beloved wife. Meng Shan is a generous man and a first-class businessman. Many people are willing to do business with him. Not long after he made a fortune, he dabbled in silk, grain, jade, and tea. He’s in every industry.”

Li Yunfu asked curiously: "Then why are you called a good man?"

The editor said: "In the past, he was called 'Meng Xiangke', but the money he earned, [-]% of the annual profit, was all used for charity, building roads and bridges, and helping the people in disasters. He is a first-class benevolent person. Remember There was a locust chaos in Lingnan, and all his granaries for a year were sent to emergency rescue, and nothing was taken."

Everyone was amazed: "This is really a kind person..."

The beautiful woman came with a veil, carrying small dishes, and the music gradually played, and everyone sat down.The editor took a sip of his wine and said, "If you and I can achieve major water conservancy projects in the coming year, we will also be first-class benevolent people."

It doesn't matter whether Shen is a sip of wine, a businessman, or a good person, but he makes incense, which has some uses.Shen Shi asked: "I haven't asked my dear brother's name yet, this celebrity is like a treasure, and my dear friend may have a very strange background."

The editor chuckled: "Shen Shaoqing is still great. My name is Fu Jiang, and I am the nephew of Fu Shangshu of the Ministry of War. My uncle thinks that I am ashamed of not passing the first-class exam, so I don't want me to recognize him. Please Haihan, please cover it for me."

There were hurried footsteps outside the curtain, and a man asked in a deep voice, "No trace yet?"

"Back to the master, I have searched all the major business and tourist inns, and I have also asked at the gate of the city, but I have not seen anyone..."

"Keep looking, dig three feet into the ground and dig it out for me."

Editor Fu bit his chopsticks and said, "I don't know who Meng Shanren is looking for, but he came to Qingyuanchun... It is said that his wife is jealous, so Meng Shanren never goes to such romantic places. It is strange today..."

Someone on the stage toasted: "It's hard for an upright official to decide on housework, so don't worry about Brother Chang, hurry up and drink a few cups by yourself, and do the best of the friendship of the host."

"That's right, but I forgot about the business."

And Shen Shi had already drifted away, just now when Meng Shan passed by, he clearly smelled the grass-like fragrance after the shower, it was a little stronger, it seemed to have a woody fragrance.
