Da Wei Chun

Chapter 315
Suddenly promoted?

Li Chengzhi expected that there would be a reward, but he didn't expect it to be so fast and even more rewarding.

Don't underestimate that it's just a level up.Except for military merits, the rest are old officials who have made new merits occasionally. Most of them have to wait for a full three-year term before taking exams to see if your merits are enough for promotion and how to be promoted.

And Li Chengzhi has only been in the Yamen for a day?

From this point of view, the two old men and the emperor are very clear that they are not ignorant of respecting Confucianism and Buddhism, and belittling the art of art.

Doctor of Imperial College?
It would be even better if there were four elementary school doctorates specially set up for the common people. Not to mention how many inventions and inventions, it should be no problem to spend some time cultivating some talents in science and engineering...

Li Chengzhi thought about it in his heart, and solemnly bowed down: "Thank you, Siqing and the sacrificial wine..."

I thought that the two old men should be polite, but after bending for a long time, there was not even a squeak from above?
Looking up, Cui Guang and Liu Fang sneered silently, and suddenly realized that they were all staring at Li Chengzhi.

Li Chengzhi looked stunned: What's the matter?
What else can I do: milky, fruity, sweet, honey...

What kind of smell is on Li Chengzhi now? When they met with the emperor, what kind of smell was floating in Shiqian Hall.

No wonder the emperor stopped them from entering?
Li Chengzhi, can you do such a big thing without making a sound?
Cui Guang narrowed his eyes slightly, with a half-smile: "Yesterday I forgot to ask you, you said you want to make a little money, what do you do for a living?"

How else could it be He Yingsheng, of course selling ice...

Li Chengzhi always felt that the old man looked at him wrongly, and after thinking about it for a while, he was startled.

Yes, selling ice?
Most likely the emperor has issued an edict to reduce the ice.But the question is, how did these two old men know that it was related to him?

There is nothing to panic, I just made a piece of ice.It was Gao Zhan who dedicated it to the emperor. No matter how you guess, it can't be blamed on him.

Li Chengzhi replied calmly: "The official has developed a method from Taoism, but in summer, nitrate turns into ice, so I want to make some snacks to cool off the heat and earn some pocket money..."

Liu Fang and Cui Guang had a serious meal.

They thought that Li Chengzhi would hide or deny in every possible way, but they didn't expect it to be so happy?
Ok?
What he sells is not ice from the palace, but homemade?
No wonder you are so calm?
"Taoist... use salt to make ice?" Liu Fang shook his beard. , where did you get it?"

Li Chengzhi was immediately happy: Look, he really deserves to be a well-educated person, unlike Gao Zhan, who thought it was a demon method when he said that nitrate turned into ice?

"What I'm looking at is not "Ji Jin Dan", but "Bao Pu Zi", which also has a record of saltpeter entering water and turning into frost. I added something to it, so the frost can turn into ice..."

Cui Guangqi asked, "What did you add?"

Do you really ask?

Li Chengzhi was stunned, and looked at him with fluttering eyelids: "Cui Jijiu, whether the lower officials can buy a house in Beijing depends on this little skill..."

Cui Guang laughed angrily: Didn't you just say that you only earn some pocket money?
The old man who hurt you has to spend money to buy your ice... Are you still so incompetent?
Just as he was about to reprimand him, he suddenly saw Liu Fang winking at him and waving at Li Chengzhi: "Well, let's go!"

Li Chengzhi was a little confused: Is this the end?

I should ask a few more questions, otherwise how would I clean myself completely?

He resigned full of resentment.

When Li Chengzhi came out of the palace, Liu Fang explained: "When the imperial edict was issued last night, I specifically asked the living man (recording the emperor's words and deeds and daily life, which belongs to the sub-district): before His Majesty issued the edict, Gao Zhan, the supervisor of Yulin, visited the palace. He also brought a piece of ice to His Majesty..."

Cui Guang suddenly realized: "Your Majesty is improvising again?"

"Eight or nine is not far from ten!" Liu Fang sighed slightly, "First reduce the servants in the palace, then reduce the expenses of the inner palace, then reduce the meals of all officials, and now reduce the ice for all officials, what else can your majesty reduce?"

Cui Guang couldn't help sneering: "Official land, official salary, which one can't be reduced? As long as no one goes to play the Buddha to collect copper, His Majesty will always find a reason to persecute us..."

"The first two years were fine. Although His Majesty was occasionally irritable, there were generally no mistakes. But since Zhongli's defeat, has it been rushing day by day? You and I are dedicated to the public, and we should put the people first. And ignore the family background, but you should also advise the emperor to take it slowly..."

Cui Guang sighed: "If he can be persuaded, the emperor won't take the Yuan clan first, it's useless!
Don't worry, your Majesty is in a hurry, but he has a sense of proportion: most of the military power is in the hands of the Yuan Clan and the Empresses of the Eight Departments who have already reached the fifth service, and almost all the clans that dare to complain have been killed by him.

We and other Shandong families have long since become toothless tigers, and we can't even make up thousands of songs together.As for the Guanlong gentry..."

Cui Guang paused, then sneered, "Isn't the lesson of Li Fu (the third house of the Li family in Longxi) not enough to exterminate the family? See which branch of the Li family in Longxi dares to stay in Guanlong? Changing the fiefdom and moving back to Luojing made His Majesty let them go!
In today's Guanlong, only the seven Yang brothers are left to support their appearance.But just like seven melons on a vine, one is unlucky, and all of them will be dragged down. The officials are getting smaller and smaller, and the ancestral property is getting less and less punishment.If you don't give in, you won't be far from the second Li Fu..."

Liu Fang lamented: "There will be trouble!"

Cui Guang's eyes were as deep as stars: "If you don't take advantage of the advantages and eliminate the disadvantages, there will be troubles..."

……

Always feel that the two old men are full of hesitation and chattering?
But it definitely has nothing to do with me...

Li Chengzhi turned his thoughts around and ran to the back office to get the horse.

At noon, it is the hottest time.It would be impossible to get up quickly from the city, so Li Chengzhi thought about going out of the city from the south gate, galloping back along the moat, and enjoying the wind.

Seeing that Li Chengzhi did not go to Tongtuo Street, but headed south, it seemed that he was going out of the city, Yuan Yue's counselor was a little confused.

Fortunately, we have dealt with it, otherwise it is really possible for Li Chengzhi to get away.

The adviser whispered a few times, and suddenly several people rushed out from the sidewalk on the side of Taichang Temple.Some made accidents to delay Li Chengzhi, and some ran along the wall, pretending to meet Li Chengzhi by chance...

Yuan Yue was also a little confused.

He looked at Li Chengzhi who had left Taichang Temple, and then at the gate of Zongzheng Temple where there was no movement...

Li Chengzhi was about to leave, why didn't he see any movement from his fourth uncle?
Could it be that he gave up?
This is several million gold, Yuan Yong is afraid that he even has the heart to kill, so he really endured this tone?

It's a pity that a good show...

"What about people?"

Hearing an urgent cry, Yuan Yue turned around and saw that it was Gao Zhan.

"What are you panicking?" Yuan Yue rolled her eyes and invited him to get in the car, "Fourth Uncle didn't dare to go to Taichang Temple to play wild, so he took his servants to hide in Zongzheng Temple. But for some reason, Li Chengzhi came out, but he was not seen." Is there any movement? It is probably persuaded by Yuan Qin (Zongzheng Siqing)...

Li Chengzhi just left too often, he went to the south gate, he should be going out of the city... Riding a horse is too hot, why don't you take a ride with me, you can still catch up..."

Gao Zhan breathed a sigh of relief.

Sure enough, my father was not wrong. King Yingchuan was still very cautious. It is estimated that after waiting for a while, his anger has almost subsided, and he knows that it is a trade-off.

Don't rush to find King Yingchuan, send Li Chengzhi back first...

Gao Zhan got into the car while wiping his sweat

The two-horse carriage, the full length of the carriage is surrounded by light gauze, and there is a small ice mirror in it, which is exuding a little bit of cool air.

The bottom of the car is paved with a felt blanket, which is soft and soft. Leaning on it, and taking a sip of cold wine, it feels very comfortable.

"Aren't you afraid that the censor will join you?" Gao Zhan said enviously.

He must be able to afford it, but he dare not: Although Gao Zhao is very powerful, the family education of Gao's children is quite strict.No matter whether it is Gao Meng and Gao Zhi who have already become princesses, or the following Gao Zhan, Gao Lie, Gao Zhen, Gao Jian, etc., there are not many bad habits of anointing the children.

"Participate as long as you participate, at most you will be reprimanded by the emperor!"

Yuan Yue said indifferently, "That's all the fun left, otherwise what's the fun of living?"

It means that he doesn't covet the throne, and he doesn't covet power. Fields, villages, money, houses, etc. are all given by the former emperor, so why can't he enjoy them.

As soon as he said this, Gao Zhan didn't dare to answer, and simply shut up.

Li Chengzhi wanted to go out of the city, and he must check the customs defense order, so the two of them were not in a hurry, and went to the city gate in the carriage.

He also walked a hundred feet forward, roughly just past the west main gate of Taichang Temple, when a servant reported that Li Chengzhi had been stopped.But it wasn't Yuan Yong, but some students from Nanmen Primary School said they wanted to ask Li Chengzhi for advice.

"Students ask Li Chengzhi for advice?" Yuan Yue was so surprised, "Teach them how to kill people?"

Gao Zhan snorted: "I just remember that Li Chengzhi hit you two teeth... he can not only kill people, but also compose poems!"

More than just poetry?

He was just conferred by Yukou this morning and promoted to a doctor of Guozijian. The students are really able to ask for advice.

Speaking of being knocked out, Yuan Yue was not annoyed, and replied with a smile: "You forgot to seek revenge from him? It just happened to happen, so I have to talk about it..."

Report a fart...

Gao Zhan cursed inwardly.

The two teeth were exchanged for millions of gold, Yuan Yue might wake up laughing from a dream...

……

A few young men aged sixteen or seventeen all wore rough linen shirts, which had already been washed to white.Some places are still patched.Straw sandals are on the feet, and the hairpins are only wooden hairpins.

But it was very tidy, the linen clothes were old but clean, and the nails were neatly trimmed.

It seems that these are all students of Nanmen Primary School.

It has not been three years since Yuan Ke ordered the construction of four primary schools. The school has not yet been fully completed, and there are not many students. Each school only has one or two hundred students. However, in Li Chengzhi's view, this move is definitely epoch-making:
Only children from poor families are accepted, free of board, lodging, and tuition fees. After three years of graduation, the emperor will personally select officials.

A family with more than [-] acres of land and no immediate relatives who have been officials of the seventh rank or higher within three generations can only go to the Imperial College to study, and the tuition fees are extremely expensive...

This trick hit the seven inches of the aristocratic family, but the strange thing is, there was no big disturbance at the beginning of the school?

It's a pity that Yuan Ke was too short-lived. Not long after his death, Empress Dowager Hu was bewitched by the nobles of Xianbei and noble families, and completely changed Simen Primary School into a noble school...

More than eight generations of previous generations were poor farmers. Li Chengzhi had a natural sense of closeness to these poor students. When he was stopped, he took the initiative to get off the horse and asked kindly: "Do you know me?"

Several students were very nervous, and they didn't seem to dare to look Li Chengzhi straight in the eye, they bowed respectfully and saluted:
"Hou Lang didn't dare to call you 'jun' in front of him. The reason why he stopped Hou Lang rudely was because he encountered a few tricks and couldn't find the solution...It happened to be the day of the kitchen meeting in the first ten days, and I saw Hou Lang cleverly solve the problem in Xishi , today is a coincidence, so I take the liberty to come here to ask for advice..."

A tricky thing, Xishi solves the problem?
It's about breaking Yuan Yue's Taoist secrets, right?

Tianshi Dao is a group of noble people, and their eyes have always grown on the top of their heads.How did the poor family get involved with such a thing?

Li Chengzhi was suspicious for a moment, and smiled warmly: "It's not presumptuous, and I may not be able to explain it, so tell me!"

"Thank you, Hou Lang!" The leading student bowed again, bowed his head and said, "A few days ago, the student borrowed a copy of the "Book of Rites" and copied it. The back of the paper. And after more than a dozen sheets, the original book borrowed from the doctor was also stained... The doctor blamed Wanxue for disrespecting the classics of the saints, and wanted to expel Wanxue from school... Wanxue couldn't argue with it, just beg Before leaving school, I can clear up the confusion in my heart..."

The ink seeps through the back of the paper, and more than a dozen sheets at a time?

Is there something wrong with the ink?
It is estimated that this student was teased by someone, or maybe he accidentally got something in Moli.

I don't know which one it is.

Li Chengzhi pondered for a while: "There is wild land in the school, and you can see Juan Er!"

The student was stunned for a moment, and replied respectfully: "It can be seen everywhere!"

That seems to be the thing.

In fact, it is cocklebur, which can be used as medicine. There is a record of this thing in "The Book of Songs": Picking curls, not full of baskets.Sigh, I am pregnant with people, and I will walk around...

This thing is more peculiar than things, with extremely strong penetrating power, and it doesn't spread around, it only drills downward.

Li Chengzhi was hanged and beaten because of this thing...

When I was in elementary school, I stuffed a few trees into the schoolbag of my deskmate, intending to prick her, but who knows, the little girl reported it to the class teacher the next day.I went to take a look, only to find that the homework book at the same table was stained with cocklebur juice, and the whole homework was dirty in all directions. …

Li Chengzhi seems to have discovered a new world, and he uses this trick when he doesn't want to do homework.It's a pity that the devil's height was ten feet high, and he was sued at home after being discovered by the teacher. It was a good meal...

The past is unbearable!
Li Chengzhi sighed lightly, and said with a smile: "It should be that the ink has been mixed with curly ear juice. This material is extremely penetrating, and can wear a hundred papers. You will know when you go back..."

A scream came from the side: "Really?"

Li Chengzhi turned his head and saw a short, thin middle-aged man in a silk shirt.A few students looked at him with a hint of fear, probably someone like a doctor.

He looked around, pointed to the grass on the side of the road and said: "Cocklebur can be seen everywhere, so you can try it at this time, why not take it seriously?"

The short and thin man actually ran to the side of the road, and returned after a short while. He found a few pieces of paper from nowhere, folded them together, and dripped a few drops of cocklebur juice on them.

Sure enough: it was roughly the size of a soybean, and it didn't spread, it just penetrated straight down, and penetrated more than ten layers in the blink of an eye.

The counselor was shocked: Li Chengzhi really solved it?
