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

Zhao Jue was very unhappy, for no other reason than not being able to go home during the Chinese New Year, it was extremely frustrating.

Who remembers that he is newly married!newlyweds!

He ran out of town less than a month after getting married, and half a year later, he was still squatting in this place. He missed his cub.

Others have a lover in their arms during the New Year, and he is wearing unlined clothes and reviewing official documents!

The only place that might be the same as his family Pang Yu is probably at work?

Fortunately, Pang Yu would send letters every now and then. In fact, there was still a long time before Pang Yu wrote the letter. It was just waiting for Zhao Jue to receive it, and there would be a lot.

Zhao Jue was comforted by these letters every day. There was no way, his cub had been very good at writing letters since before.

Pang Yu actually started writing letters before Zhao Jue set off, and had someone mail them out every day. When Zhao Jue arrived, he would receive the letters.

Just guessing, he guessed that his prince would be very irritable when he was in that poor place, and he would find someone to vent his anger on. As for the person to vent his anger on, everyone has seen it, that is, the tragic southern neighboring country, taking advantage of their emperor's driving It collapsed, continued to provoke, and finally gnawed down a piece of land.

I didn't expect that the imperial court would send out a regent to destroy the country directly. No one could believe this.

By the way, Zhao Jue also sent someone to clean up the officials of Temo Road. When he received the letter in Bianjing, it was not from the magistrate of Temo Road, but from the newspaper office of Temo Road, which was trained in Bianjing. , specifically to find the existence of spies from other countries, at critical moments, they can bypass the local government and send letters directly to the headquarters in Bianjing City.

This is also the reason why Zhao Jue will set off in person, because there are too many border affairs, and he needs to be intimidated. After all, the countries around this dynasty are not peaceful.

The temporary relationship is relatively stable on the other side of the border, because they have been cooperating and have a basis of interest, so relatively speaking, there is no deep hatred, and generally speaking, there will be no problems.

Even the people in the frontier are unwilling to fight. Only a fool would give up so much money a year.

In order to earn more money, no one has a grudge against money, and the special products brought by the Song people, the frontier people have increased their investment in the cultivation of cotton and other crops. If there is a war, these cotton and other crops, Wouldn't it be rotten in the ground, and the people in the frontier would lose money, and no one would choose to do this.

Moreover, they have done business with Song people for many years. These people are very honest, unlike some businessmen.

Ordinary businessmen would of course steal and play tricks, but they couldn't. They were based on Zhao Jue, and they were completely different from those ordinary businessmen who took risks for profit.

They even invested in frontier people to raise cattle. There was no other way, and it was very hard to eat beef.

Like the pastures in Bianjing City, at most it is a temporary breeding, otherwise there is no place to graze more cattle.

Pang Yu has cooperated in the exchange of cattle in two neighboring countries.

Fortunately, it now occupies a part of the grassland country, where Zhao Jue has already had people enclose the land and raise cattle and sheep. Otherwise, why would he fight so hard? Of course, it is for sheep, cattle, sheep, and war horses.

He had long been displeased with the people of the grassland country, because they didn't have a vast grassland, let alone a suitable horse, so he kept getting stuck with them.

Zhao Jue's Chasing Wind would have almost become a eunuch if he hadn't been transported to Bianjing City in his mother's womb.

The steppe country would never allow them the opportunity to breed their own war horses, because they could not watch this dynasty grow stronger.

In Pang Yu's view, it is more like captive breeding.

When it is raised to a certain level, it will be slaughtered and eaten?

Those neighboring countries all have such plans, oh, except for those who are more Buddhist, like the royal family of the Li country, they all want to become monks.

It's just that Zhao Jue's sudden birth gave those people a hard blow, and even bit off a piece of meat from the grassland country.

Nowadays, countries that are weaker than the grassland country don't dare to act rashly. The southern side dares to provoke, but it is because of the lack of information, and they don't know Zhao Jue's legend.

In fact, even if you heard about it, you wouldn't believe it. After all, the strength of the Song people gradually weakened, which is something everyone knows.

The neighboring country in the south is so ambitious that it even bribed people on the border. Some people would really do anything for money.

With a cold face, Zhao Jue looked at the people who were arrested one by one, some were rich businessmen on the border, and some officers and soldiers were bribed by them, but at this moment, they were all prisoners.

According to the old rules, the mastermind and others are directly cut into pieces, and the accomplices are thrown to mine. It is perfect not to spare any labor, and there is still a shortage of ore to build a foundry here, and a large number of people are needed to mine.

Zhao Jue knew from the letter that arrived before that Pang Yu had already started to build the North-South Railway, like the model of the railway, he had seen it with his own eyes. In fact, before his brother died, he also knew about the unstarted railway. A project is definitely something that can benefit the country and the people.

It's a pity that he couldn't wait for the construction of the railway, at least his son could finish it for him.

Compared to Zhao Jue's depression in the south, where he had nothing to do to beat Zhu, Pang Yu's life was relatively stable. After all, he only had to face those courtiers and teach the little officials a little bit.

Pang Yu has always felt that reading words is worse than experiencing it personally when teaching children. Xiaoguan is only 12 years old, and his life experience is still too little. Many things seem to be understood on the surface, but it seems that he does not understand them.

So he took the little official's family out without letting anyone know.

I don't know if the death of the Liu family last time stimulated the Empress Dowager Li. Since the small official's family became the throne, the Empress Dowager Li didn't care much about the affairs of the future.

It is quite strange in the royal family. Nowadays, most of the royal family believes in Taoism.

Especially the few Taoist priests who have been popular recently, of course, they are not popular among the folks, but popular among the artisan circles.

Who let the hot weapon be built so smoothly because of the outstanding contributions of these Taoist priests? Congratulations!

And these weapons have become the top-secret weapons for the soldiers of the Song Army to fight back, but at present, the output is slightly lower.

Song Jun's hot weapons were only for self-protection, and were never built to satisfy his own ambitions.

The main reason is that Song Jun is really too weak. If he wants to change, besides strengthening himself, he also needs to get rid of the inner carrion.

"Sir, are we really going out of the city?" The Xiaoguan family was very excited. This time they received the foreign envoys during the Chinese New Year, and after sending them away, Pang Yu led him out, all the way out of the gate of Bianjing City. He still had an unbelievable expression on his face.

"Just because of the Spring Festival, take you out and take it easy. It's not good to be locked there all the time. The president is not tall." Pang Yu said with a smile.

"So that's why Uncle Nine and Uncle and Aunt grow taller because they always go out to play?" The little official said with a look of enlightenment.

Can't refute...

but!

His height really has nothing to do with going out to play!

And the uncle of Xiaoguan's family has grown very tall without going out to play, and going out to play cannot grow taller.

The height is mainly hereditary. The father of the small official family is not short, but the Empress Dowager Li is a little petite, so it should not affect it.

But it is still difficult to be as tall as Zhao Jue.

Pang Yu thinks that his prince is definitely gifted to grow up to 1.9 meters. Is this the height that ordinary people can have?

After so much tossing, he has grown to less than 1.8 meters, and he can reach it with just a pair of boots. No one knows his little secret, oh, the embroiderer in the palace knows.

There is an embroiderer who specializes in making clothes in Zhao Jue's mansion, the majestic prince, if you want to wear new clothes, you have to go outside to order them?No way.

Pang Yu, the concubine, has endless new clothes to wear all year round. Zhao Jue, the regent, can allow his concubine to have no new clothes to wear?

Pang Yu was very happy about this. There is no one who doesn't like new clothes. If they don't like them, it must be because they don't look good.

He is rich and handsome, why doesn't he wear it?

Others wear work clothes to work. He is a prince and grand teacher. What kind of work clothes should he wear? He happily wears private clothes to work every day.

Regardless of his young age, the little official still has a heart for beauty, but it's a pity that he has to wear work clothes as an emperor at work, which is very helpless, and the dragon robe can't play any tricks.

Fortunately, it was still the time of the first emperor, so the working hours were moved later, otherwise he would have to argue with the courtiers just because the working hours were too early.

The current working hours, hello, hello, hello everyone, no need to get up early, no need to go hungry, it can be said that all courtiers benefit, and naturally no one will chatter.

The young man was also given a little more time to rest. With Pang Yu around, the small official family can basically go to bed early and get up early.

Because most of the workload is handled by Pang Yu, if you ask a 12-year-old kid to handle official duties, even if he wants to, he doesn't have the vision.

Of course, most of it was shared by other people at the beginning, especially the nonsense that had no practical meaning, and was finally sent to the paper mill in Bianjing City.

In addition to the production of paper for ordinary scholars to write, there is also the paper for printing, and finally the recycled waste paper is processed. After soaking and mixing, it can be reused into straw paper. It is really not a waste at all.

These waste papers have made an indispensable contribution to the sanitation of public toilets in Bianjing City.

"Are we going to the Royal Military Academy this time?" Pang Feiyan asked curiously from the side.

"Well, let's take a look. The officials have always been very interested in it." Pang Yu nodded. Although everyone else in Bianjing City is on vacation, the Royal Military Academy does not have a vacation. Unless you have graduated, don't even think about it. Get out of here.

To be able to enter here, one must either be very outstanding, or be a member of the old Zhao family, and the rest are lawless dudes.

After coming to the Royal Military Academy, it doesn't matter what status you have outside. You have to pass the exam yourself, or you can retire here.

For more than half a year, several dandies have been thrown in by Pang Yu, and they are also unlucky.

Every time Pang Yu took the small official's house out, he would meet a few troublemakers, causing trouble in Bianjing city, who would spoil you?

Do you think that if Zhao Jue, the top dandy of the year, is not in the capital, these bastards can go to heaven?

There is still the original preparatory dandy Pang Yu, if he hadn't embarked on the road of imperial examination, he would almost be a dandy in Bianjing.
