Xiao Houye's seven-year imperial examination and five-year road to Kaifeng[75]

"No." Zhao Jue was unhappy when he heard that Pang Yu wanted to weave for others, and said with a long face.

"Ah? Why?" Pang Yu asked puzzled.

"Yu'er can only do it for me." Zhao Jue said without hesitation without hiding his domineering attitude.

"Okay, then I can teach others to do it, it's okay." Pang Yu will not make fun of his golden thighs, anyway, he can teach others to knit socks, and he will definitely get more cashmere and wool in the future. If you can't get it done, maybe it can become an industry in the future and use it to make money.

After all, there were not many choices of clothes that could keep warm in ancient times. Sweaters are still very close to keep warm.

Of course, the most important reason is, where does he have so much free time to do what he doesn't have? Is it because he doesn't want to practice the piano, or he doesn't want to memorize books?

In addition, there are still exams waiting for him. This system is the same as the schools in later generations. A big exam is arranged at the end of each semester, and then there is a winter vacation.

After thinking about it, Zhao Jue agreed. Anyway, as long as Pang Yu made it himself, he would be fine. As for teaching others, it doesn't matter.

He never thought about why he was like this, but who he is, the King of Xiangyang, he has always done whatever he wants, and no one will take care of him, of course, because no one dares to do it.

The only one who can control him is his brother, but as far as the official family's silly brother who spoils his younger brother has no bottom line, his brother is actually good to all brothers, even the elder brother is also very friendly, but the elder brother doesn't want to see anyone.

Anyway, I'm not familiar with my eldest brother, so I don't know the love and hatred between them, and I have no interest.

Zhao Jue was quite a few years behind the official family. The official family was almost 30 years old when they became the throne. At that time, Zhao Jue was just born. Although he was not born in the official family, he was brought up by the Guo family along with the crown prince.

It can be said that the young man gets along with the Guo family more than the official family. Because he just took over his father's stall, the official family is so busy that they can only rest a little every day. Guo Shi sees it and can't help much. , I can only take good care of my own children and my brother-in-law who is waiting to be fed.

The official received the socks and was very moved. The brother did not hurt in vain.

He didn't know at all, he was just passing by, if it wasn't for Pang Yu who wanted to give it to his sister, family members, and Queen Li, he wouldn't be able to think of the official house.

After all, Pang Feiyan was under Li Hou's hands, how could Pang Yu miss the opportunity to help his sister increase her favorability, and then remembered the official family, and almost forgot about the biggest boss in the harem.

The palace servants that Zhao Jue recruited were all dexterous, and Pang Yu just gave them a little guidance. As their proficiency increased, their knitting speed became very fast.

The woolen yarn they sent back was quietly turned into woolen socks, woolen hats, and even woolen gloves under the skillful hands of these palace people.

It is very popular in the palace. After all, you can spend the winter warmly, and no one wants to have cold hands and feet.

But if you want to get those woolen socks, you can’t get them just by talking about them. When the officials found that wool can be used for such things, they suddenly felt that they were quite wasteful.

After all, for so many years, those wools have been disposed of directly. It's not like Pang Yu discovered that it can be used to weave daily necessities.

Sure enough, it was the child he was optimistic about, and he was looking forward to it more and more, what Pang Yu could grow into.

If it hadn't been for his younger brother to stop him, the officials would have granted Pang Yu the status of Jinshi and asked him to study in the Imperial College.

How could Zhao Jue agree? It's not like he has lost his mind. He has worked so hard to raise a cub for a year, and he can't be angry when people bully him.

The cubs he raises can be bullied casually?

Just thinking about it, he can't bear it, he raises his own cub!

Pang Yu's life is very regular. He studies in the morning because he is about to take the big exam. Reviewing the old knowledge is very important. Reviewing is very important. He practices calligraphy at noon and piano in the afternoon.

Of course, after he passed his piano test, he would change to other studies, such as horse riding.

As long as he is in the Pang family, he has no chance to practice at all. It's not that he dislikes the Pang family, it's just that the basics need the hard work of countless generations.

The inheritance of a family is unimaginably difficult for others, and if one is not careful, the entire army may be wiped out.

For example, the Pang family is a branch of the original Pang family, and the resources must not be comparable to the original family. It is already very remarkable to be able to cultivate a Pang Jilai.

And Pang Yu's luck is even better. If he can always hug the golden thigh of King Xiangyang, then he can be said to be ready to make a fortune.

He doesn't know whether to fly or not, anyway, his merit is about to take off.

Without him, the craftsman Zhao Jue had asked someone to improve the cement before finally came to report that the cement was improved, the hardness was moderate, and it could withstand the gravity of the carriage and other vehicles. That's right, it was ready to pave the road!

Although it has been improved by other people, his merits are still there. As long as the cement is used all the time, he will have a steady stream of merits, just like the enlightenment book and movable type printing before. Although the amount of merits is not much, this Doesn't the accumulation of less make more.

It may not be obvious in a short period of time, but over time, his merits will definitely turn into a positive number!

Just thinking about him makes him very happy, and he always feels like he can see hope.

The days with no end in sight are very scary, and he just wants to sing a song for good luck at this moment!

Good luck~ I wish you good luck~~

Zhao Jue, on the other hand, was very happy to bother his brother. No matter how he thought about it, it was impossible for him to handle the cement business by himself. After having the dream of rebellion, Zhao Jue didn't want to get into some trouble at all.

He is still very satisfied with his current life. Sure enough, when his brother was alive, his childhood was the most comfortable.

However, if the queen is replaced by Li Shi, I believe she will not be as strong and ambitious as Liu Shi.

As long as you don't provoke him, he can guarantee that he is still a very good person.

At least, his cub thinks so.

Pang Yu:? ? ?

This is actually impossible, in Pang Yu's eyes, Zhao Jue is the ultimate villain.

Who doesn't know how powerful the King of Xiangyang is, not only the original person knows, Pang Yu has read the books of the Seven Heroes and the Five Righteousness, as well as various derivative TV dramas and movies, how could he not know.

And the King of Xiangyang in the film and television drama is ugly, which Pang Yu can't bear. It's better to say that his family's golden thighs can do anything, but it is absolutely impossible to be ugly!

This is Yan Kong's last insistence!

Anyway, the King of Xiangyang that Pang Yu knew could never become such a villain. In his eyes, although the young man was a little arrogant, he was kind-hearted and liked to help others (such as helping him), occasionally a little domineering, and Not annoying.

If he communicated with the officials, the two would have a lot in common, after all, they had quite a strong filter on Zhao Jue.

Zhao Jue felt that his cubs were good everywhere, and he thought so sincerely, without a trace of hypocrisy.

Ever since Pang Yu came by his side, the young man felt that his luck had improved, and everything he saw in his dream had changed.

After seeing cement, officials immediately discovered the benefits of this product, which is convenient for storage and cheaper than stone slabs. The roads in the palace are all paved with stone slabs.

Cement is different. As long as no one steps on it before it dries out, a flat road will be obtained after it solidifies, which is very different from the price of a stone road.

Except for some labor costs, it's ridiculously cheap!

For this era, the cost of labor is almost negligible, and it is not an era full of machines in the future. Only labor that cannot be replaced by machines will be more expensive.

In this way, it is more urgent for Pang Yu to study physical chemistry. For him, he is not in a hurry to learn to take the imperial examination. After all, the imperial examination in the Song Dynasty is not like the later generations.

Before he became an adult, he had two different choices. One was to take part in the boy's imperial examination, which he could do before he was ten years old. The other was the orthodox imperial examination. The imperial examinations only have solution examinations, provincial examinations, and palace examinations.

Scholars after the Ming and Qing Dynasties had many identities, such as Tongsheng, Xiucai, Juren, Gongshi and finally Jinshi.

In the Song Dynasty, there were only two types, the Juren and the Jinshi, no more...

And the most pitiful thing is that Juren still has a shelf life, that is to say, within three years after being admitted to Juren, if you fail to be admitted to Jinshi, the status of Juren will be gone, and you need to start all over again.

It's a scam!

He used to remember that there was a person from the Song Dynasty who, because of the cheating examination method, finally turned around and went to the neighboring country to help the neighboring country cheat the Song Dynasty. Therefore, the imperial examination model still needs to be improved, and at the same time, the awareness of certain aspects needs to be consolidated.

It’s just that Pang Yu is different from ordinary people. It’s probably that others may never have the chance to see the emperor, but he is different. Because of his youthful relationship, he often has the opportunity to have dinner with the official family. seniority.

He called the boy's elder brother, and the official's uncle, and the two were clearly brothers.

Forget it, let's talk about each other, don't care about these details...

After the cement was handed in, Zhao Jue wanted to quit. Originally, his cement improvement was to build a road for Zhuangzi in the pig farm so that he could transport pork to the palace. Otherwise, the road would be so difficult and the pork delivery It will take an extra hour or two on the road, and the pork will be spoiled when it arrives.

Especially in summer, the meat is easy to spoil, and it is not convenient to slaughter pigs in the palace. The house is too small, so why set up a pig slaughterhouse?It's scary to think about it, just the hygienic environment in ancient times.

Zhao Jue also asked people to set up a pig slaughtering place, which was close to Bianjing City, just to prevent the pork from spoiling on the way of transportation. Pang Yu also named it the Meat Joint Factory, which is the full name of the Meat Joint Processing Factory!It can be regarded as a kind of nostalgia for modern times.

Because here is not only the slaughter of pigs, but also other meat processing such as stuffing sausages.

It's just that this place is not open for sale at present, and people can only be allowed to buy it when the production volume is large in the future.

After all, there are only a few pigs supplied every day, and there are so many people in the imperial palace alone, as well as the clans of the old Zhao family. Every family needs a lot of meat.

There is no way, although mutton is delicious, after so many years of eating it, it is boring. It is rare to have delicious and inexpensive pork, why not?

It can be said that Zhao Jue's pig farm will not lose money just because of the orders from the old Zhao family, and the pigs can be slaughtered in a few months. However, the roast suckling pig is popular recently, and the price has of course doubled.

Just kidding, by weight, he could die at a loss.

A pig must weigh at least a few hundred catties. Roasted suckling pigs choose pigs weighing ten to twelve catties. It can be said that in Zhao Jue's pig farm, such small piglets of more than ten catties are rarely sold. , Unless someone bids a high price, it is unnecessary to talk about it.

Even so, there are still many people who spend a lot of money to buy, and there is a limit of five little piglets per month.

It’s not that other people didn’t want to go to those places where pigs are raised in the countryside, but the pigs made are not the same thing at all. The taste of the pig itself changes the taste of the original delicious roast suckling pig, it is far worse than buying it from a pig farm. The pork that arrived was delicious.

It was a waste of the cook's opportunity. That's right, the cook of the roast suckling pig was also borrowed from the palace. It's a beautiful idea to ask others to tell the secret recipe. Even if the cook wanted to, he didn't dare. They made it for future restaurant use. They don't stop cooks from making money, but if they dare to reveal the secret recipe, it's not something an ordinary cook can bear.

So the cook of the roast suckling pig in the palace was borrowed from Zhao Jue, and he had to collect money when he went out for a day. After all, there is no free lunch in the world.
