Qiu Wei was near, and the capital became tense for a while, and it seemed that even the air he was breathing was different from before, showing anxiety and unease.
The number of people patrolling the streets has increased significantly, the shouts of restaurants and inns have become impatient, and people who sell so-called subjects of various subjects are hiding like mice.
Teams of boats in Sanshui County delivered rice and meat to the capital.
The businessmen were happy and helpless. If it was last year, they could sell more money, but this year, it is said that Zhang Xiaobao said that who dares to increase the price by more than 10%, don't blame him for being rude.
I don’t know whether the rumors are true or not. In line with the idea that they would rather believe what they have than what they don’t believe, the merchants in Chang’an wept secretly while controlling the price. With the continuous fluctuation of the purchase cost and price, they adjusted and sold the goods in time. Or the degree of profit increase of rental housing, which is maintained between 9.5% and 10%.
"I didn't say it." Zhang Xiaobao, who heard the news, seemed very aggrieved when faced with Chang'an businessmen carefully controlling the rate of extra profit growth.
"Take it as you say." Wang Juan just came back from her mother-in-law and mother, with a lot of wool in her hands. She was assigned the task of knitting scarves for her three younger brothers and sisters, and asked Zhang Xiaobao to help support the thread. into a ball.
Zhang Xiaobao raised his arms and cooperated with Wang Juan to move back and forth in a small amount, the wool fell down, and said, "Why do I say that the price increase is temporary, and how far can it increase? Profit overflow percentage percentage. Thirty has reached its peak, and consumer demand is on the way.
We provide all the students’ room and board, and I have brought things from Sanshui County. Do I need to stand up and threaten others in person? I haven't done it yet. "
"Then you go to clarify, in the newspaper." Wang Juan gave an idea.
"My clarification will make people misunderstand it as encouragement. They dare to increase the profit increase to more than 100%. No, I have to find the person who spread the news. If it is a businessman, I will let him close the door. If it is an official, I asked Xiao Bei and the others to talk to him at his house."
Wang Juan quickly completed a circle, changed it again, and asked with a smile: "As for what, you still have to seal people to buy and sell."
"As for, it's too bad, someone clearly wants to put me on the fire, you think, Zhang Xiaobao's words can be more effective than the decree of the court, what should the court do? I have nothing to say, I will solve it all. Now, the problem is, it seems that the full power of the speech should not be on me, but on Li Longji.
I can set the people's livelihood in Chang'an with one word, but can I win the competition with another word? Accompany me to the palace for a while, and find Li Longji to investigate. I found out the person, and I couldn't sleep well. "
Zhang Xiaobao spoke angrily and passed the words to Xiaobei, who was eager to see that there was work to be done.
Today, Li Longji did not hold a court meeting, and the amount of harvest money from various places has been put in place. The money collected by the government is deposited in the local Datang Bank, part of the grain is flowing, and part is collected in Changping warehouse. According to tax statistics, it is 135,000. More than 10,000 passes, nearly 30 million more than last year.
Rich, so when Li Longji was in a good mood, he went to the Royal Zoo that was built at the beginning and devoted himself to the cause of scientific research. He took the corn planted in one-third of his own acre of land for two sent from distant Tibet. The big dog wants to change the eating habits of the two dogs.
Other dogs can eat porridge, but he doesn't believe the two dogs in front of him can't.
When Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan came to find them, they couldn't help praising the two dogs in their hearts.
It's so beautiful, so majestic, you don't need to stand up, just stand on all fours, you can reach the height of a human waist, the hair is long, the head is big, the nose is the nose, the eyes are the eyes, if you have to find one. Compared with animals, it is more similar to the lion in Africa.
"Is this going to make them believe in Buddhism? Start a vegetarian diet? The two dogs are pitiful." Zhang Xiaobao drew an upside-down cross in front of him and said sympathetically.
Wang Juan nodded: "The native dog should have a more specific name. How about you call it a Tibetan Mastiff?"
"Let's call Tang Mastiff. It is estimated that someone had fed meat before Li Longji came in the morning, otherwise he would have roared earlier."
Zhang Xiaobao looked at the two Tibetan mastiffs and stared at Li Longji. He tried his best not to let himself laugh out loud. In his eyes, the two Tibetan mastiffs were normal, because they were not as good as the black dog and his children rescued by Wang Juan in Luzhou. psychic.
Li Longji threw out ten handfuls of corn kernels. Seeing that the other party didn't eat them, he slapped his hands twice in disappointment. He turned around and saw Zhang Xiaobao and the two of them. He smiled and said, "Fan dogs are really different from ordinary dogs."
"Actually, they can also be made vegetarian, it's just a bit of effort." Zhang Xiaobao suggested a possibility.
Wang Juan glared at Zhang Xiaobao.
Li Longji waved his hand: "Forget it, a vegetarian fan dog is not a fan dog. You two are not studying at home, and you want to see the new animals?"
"Your Majesty, there is a rumor recently that I don't allow Chang'an prices to fluctuate too much. Of course, I didn't say that." Zhang Xiaobao held his ground.
"I know, I said it." Li Longji admitted it as a bachelor.
"Huh?" Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were stunned at the same time. The culprit was found. Unfortunately, the palace gate could not be closed. The effect of Xiaobei's arrival is not expected to be too great.
"Xiaobao, the two of you have been thinking too much. I was afraid that the prices in Chang'an would be too high, so I came up with this clever plan, and it worked." Li Longji looked very proud.
Zhang Xiaobao didn't answer, and turned slightly to look at his godfather, Gao Lishi.
The meaning is very clear, "Can I still let the price reach an uncontrollable level and ignore it?"
Gao Lishi glanced at Li Longji, Li Longji nodded his head slightly, and then Gao Lishi said: "Xiaobao, a Japanese messenger has come to the DPRK recently, going to the princes, saying, Zhang Xiaobao can set the Tang affairs in one word, folks He only hears Xiaobao's name and does not hold the honor of an emperor.
Your Majesty will give them a hand, let your reputation show again, wait for the time to come, all the people who should emerge will come out, clean up in one fell swoop, the achievement is really remarkable, you have jumped out a lot of people, Xiaobao, your prestige is also Still, looking at the price control, it is really wonderful.
Saying that the premium cannot exceed 10%, businessmen can steadily set the increase between 9.5% and 10%, saving worry and effort. "
What else can Zhang Xiaobao say? He silently recognized the fact that he was used as a tool, but he was still a little dissatisfied: "Your Majesty, why don't you speak in your own name? Are you afraid that you are not as good as Wei Chen?"
"Cut, I can't compare to you? I'm afraid that Xiaobei and the others will not have time to study. As soon as I say something, I'm afraid that the officials below will use it for personal gain, and Xiaobei should jump up and down to arrest people. Bei and the others tied up a group of officials of the eighth to ninth ranks to stroll around the Hanyuan Palace."
Li Longji pouted his lips vividly, as if I am good for your brother and sister.
When Zhang Xiaobao thought about it, that was really the case. His own words were considered civil forces. Li Longji's words were called policies. With policies, there are countermeasures. The better the policy, the better the countermeasures.
And Xiaobei has just finished her addiction, and her heart has not calmed down. As soon as she sees something, of course she has to take care of it. She has no other channels to deal with officials, so she can only drag Hanyuan Hall, which deals with minor officials and officials. place?
Blame the officials who had to be caught by Xiaobei. Li Longji was so ruthless when he cleaned up. He couldn't blame Xiaobei, so he had to focus on the officials who were caught. 's name.
"In this case, I can rest assured." Zhang Xiaobao planned to go back to teach his younger brother and sister.
Zhang Xiaobao wanted to leave, but Li Longji stopped him: "Xiaobao, let's have a meal together at noon. Recently, people at the zoo said that there are too many animals for viewing, and there is no need for a large group, and the consumption of flowers is huge. , eat a few first."
Zhang Xiaobao looked up at the sky and thought deeply. After a while, he did not reply to Li Longji's words, and he pulled Wangjuan and whispered together.
After the muttering was over, he turned back to his senses and said to Li Longji: "If there is no one else's word at noon, just pick a bigger one and slaughter and eat it, the others are still useful."
"What is it used for? Winter is coming, and grass-eating animals are not easy to feed. I really use fresh grass. The price of grass is more expensive than meat. I also want to guarantee profits. The zoo's money belongs to me. a garden."
Li Longji takes his own private property money more seriously, mainly because he will spend it without the minister's objection. He really wants to know that Zhang Xiaobao can find a new way of private property money while ensuring the current profit.
Zhang Xiaobao glanced at Wang Juan, who motioned for him to speak. So he said, "Your Majesty, in fact, animals don't have to be raised by the zoo."
"Then who will pay?" Li Longji pointed to a pavilion not far away, and asked Zhang Xiaobao to go over and talk slowly.
The zoo is closed today, there is a stove in the pavilion, and it is not cold at all.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan sat next to each other and began to introduce Li Longji.
"Your Majesty, I used to collect tickets, and I also sold things on animals and birds, such as hair and feathers, etc. If there are too many animals, one will be slaughtered, frozen, and sold in portions to eat. people, plus the cost of street vendors, it is relatively simple to support the zoo.
Now that the scale is getting bigger and bigger, it is not good to kill too much to sell, so the minister just discussed with the cuckoo cuckoo, cuckoo cuckoo means to be raised by others, there are two ways, one is naming.
Take a panda, for example, if you look for a beautiful one without a name, Shuiyunjian will pay for it, call it haha, it will be called haha, and Xiaobei will pay for it, and it will be called hehe, then it will be called hehe. Where it is written who paid for it is advertising. "
Li Longji thought about it for a while, then nodded: "Okay, the second way."
"The second is for people who really like animals. The animal is sold to him alive, first for a sum of money, it belongs to him, and the problem of food and housing should also be solved by him, but he can't take it casually. home to raise.
It will continue to be placed in the zoo. He can pay for his own animals to build a "house" and stuff the animals in. It is stipulated that he can have the power several times a month, and let the keepers bring the animals out and follow him. Go to a safe place to play.
He needs to pay a fee to the person who keeps it, that is, to the zoo, so his identity is revealed. When he has nothing to do, he leads two camels to go shopping, which immediately attracts countless attention. "
Zhang Xiaobao also talked about the second method he and Wang Juan developed.
Li Longji and Gao Lishi thought about it for a while, the former method felt okay, advertising, the money spent is not wrong, as for the latter...
"Xiaobao, the second method seems unreasonable. Why don't you let people take it home when you buy it? If you keep it in the zoo and let people watch it, will he also charge some money? I can't bully it. Humans are not."
Li Longji thought it was unreasonable, and there was another sentence he didn't say. It's better to stare at you than bullying others.
Wang Juan took over the words at this time: "Your Majesty, it's different, he doesn't know how to raise him, he can raise himself to death, and if he wants to raise himself to death, he won't sell it.
When Xiaobao and I were in the local area, I saw cattle raising. Some wealthy people bought cattle, but they kept raising them to death. I don’t know if it was because of bad feng shui, or because they couldn’t find anyone who could raise them, and they managed to survive. The cow also lost weight and could not work.
They found someone who was good at raising cattle, and when they couldn't bring the person home, they put the cattle in this person's house to raise them. There are about ten cattle, enough to cultivate a large area of land. Build a cowshed in the middle, and then give the man a sum of money. "
"What if it was raised to death?" Gao Lishi asked.
"It depends on what you said before. If you say it is compensation, you will have to pay compensation, but if you are compensated, the wages paid by the people who produce the cattle will also be higher."
"Try it and see who is willing to buy it." Li Longji was tempted. If he could sell half of it, it would be a lot of money.
Afraid that others would not buy it, Li Longji beckoned to a palace maid, called the person to him, and asked, "You heard what you just said, I ask you, my zoo, sell your animals, are you willing to buy them?"
The palace maid looked a little nervous, shook her head, and nodded again: "Your Majesty, slaves can't sell, slaves want to serve Your Majesty, if your Majesty really sells, slaves want to order a tiger for the second uncle's family."
"Your second uncle?" Gao Lishi asked in confusion.
"I'm a rank one or six military attache. I usually have nothing to do. I like to go out to hunt. When I have something to do, my servants also go to Er Uncle's house to have a look. Er Uncle likes to come to the zoo and likes tigers."
The palace maid told the wrong thing and looked at Gao Lishi nervously.
"Oh!" Li Longji nodded. He didn't care whether the palace maid secretly left the palace or not.
Ignoring the palace maid's mistake, Li Longji said to the palace maid, "Find someone to send a letter to your second uncle and tell him that the zoo will sell animals from today and want to buy them, so let him go to the zoo to discuss with the manager."
The palace maid nodded again and again, and carefully retreated to the position just now, with a nervous and excited look on her face.
Zhang Xiaobao knew that a tiger had been sold, and the second uncle of the palace maid got the news. Even if he didn't want to buy it, he had to pay, and he had to go to the zoo to get the first animal before everyone else, which was him. Buy the tiger you want.
As for how much it is worth, it is impossible to say. It is said that it is worth 500 guans. The shipping cost and the cost of catching the tiger are almost the same, or even less than 500 guans.
It is not expensive to say that it is worth 50,000 yuan. You can tell others that it was the emperor who first thought of him, and then sold him a tiger and led it out. Others looked at the tiger's face and gave him a grade of four. It's no problem to treat it as a product.
Li Longji's first transaction was made, and he was very happy. He glanced at Gao Lishi, and Gao Lishi understood that he wanted him to take care of the palace maid just now. There were not many reasons, but he was in a good mood.
"Xiaobao, I heard that Xiaobei and the others are going to build an amusement park in Hongnong, can they make room for raising animals?" Li Longji began to sell Zhang Xiaobao.
Zhang Xiaobao leaned forward: "Thank you, Your Majesty, Xiaobei has this intention and is willing to build a beautiful place in Hongnong, and let His Majesty transport the excess animals there. Half of the profits will be used to pay for the construction of the site, and half will be given to the capital. the zoo."
Li Longji thought it was a bit of a loss, half of it was less, and he discussed, "How to settle the labor costs for farming?"
"Or let Xiaobei come and tell His Majesty, Your Majesty, don't worry, Xiaobei doesn't care about money, 1.3 million can be taken out if you say it, and you can't care about it with Your Majesty?" Zhang Xiaobao replied with a smile.
Li Longji paused and said, "Half is half done. You don't have to toss Xiaobei. It's getting colder, and it's not easy to come to the palace once."
Li Longji reluctantly agreed to Zhang Xiaobao's sharing agreement. He had to agree, because Zhang Xiaobao mentioned 1.3 million pieces and really asked Xiao Bei to come over in person. Maybe he could not get 30% of the profit in the end, otherwise Xiao Bei promised I will talk about 1.3 million kangaroos.
After discussing good things, Zhang Xiaobao really ate at the zoo at noon, killed a bear, took the bear's paw back and dealt with it, and brought it back for Li Longji to eat, or left it for his younger brother and sister for a change.
Satisfied, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan returned to the Zhuangyuan Building and continued to feel the tense atmosphere in the building.
※※※※
Tomorrow's imperial examination will be held at Furong Garden. Someone had set up the examination room early. At this time, ordinary people were not allowed to enter.
The candidates are nervous, insomnia, insomnia, excited and excited, in different forms.
Zhang Xiaobao, who had always seemed relaxed, was nervous at noon.
Not for the imperial examination, but because someone came to report, two of Shuiyun and Hongluan's children were born.
Shuiyun's child is an eagle, not a chick. Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan are all nervous, because the eagle usually does one thing after hatching, pushing down the siblings who haven't hatched.
Eleven eggs represent eleven eagles, and if one falls, there will be one less.
Zhang Xiaobao didn't even bother to eat it, so he and Wang Juan brought a large group of younger brothers and sisters to the artificial salt lake.
Looking up with the binoculars, Zhang Xiaobao took a deep breath and asked the person next to him, "Are you ready?"
"I've done it. Next to the nest of Shuiyun and Hongluan, a large circle is formed at a place that is one centimeter short. It's good to use soft grass. If the eggs are pushed out of the nest, they will not fall to the ground or the lake. ' said the steward who was questioned.
"What's the reaction between Shuiyun and Hongluan?" Wang Juan asked next to him.
"Hongluan has not come down, Shuiyun came down the day before yesterday, grabbed the guard's house, dragged the quilt out from the inside, tore the cloth, took out a lot of cotton from the inside, and sent it to the top. Today, an eagle came out of its shell, Shuiyun came down and called a few times.
Zhang Ying climbed up with a bunch of raised bugs, and before he came down, Shui Yun was also there. It is estimated that he was discussing with Zhang Ying how to raise children. Rest assured, young master, I will definitely guard this place and leave no loopholes. "
The person in charge assured that Shuiyun is a high-ranking official, and he has made a lot of contributions in the Tubo battlefield, in the northern part of Hebei Province. It is estimated that he and Hongluan's children are not ordinary.
While waiting, there were a few eagle calls in the sky, and a big white eagle smashed down. Zhang Xiaobao quickly took the leather armband from the side and just put it on his arm, the big white bird suddenly slowed down and landed on Zhang Xiaobao's arm. superior.
"I knew it was better for us." Zhang Xiaobao touched Shuiyun's neck on his right arm with his left hand and said happily.
Shuiyun seems to be very happy too. This is a comrade who has fought side by side. If he can speak, he may be able to boast about Zhang Xiaobao's sharp two shots when he took Zhang Xiaobao to the sky and dealt with the eagles.
"Brother, I want to touch Shuiyun, it's so beautiful." Xiaobei was not afraid at all, looking up beside Zhang Xiaobao's legs.
Zhang Xiaobao squatted down and first picked up Shui Yun, this is Xiaobei, that is Xiaoyuan, and others.
Xiaobei dared to reach out to touch Shuiyun, but Shuiyun really did not move and let Xiaobei touch the feathers, making Xiaobei giggle with joy.
"Is your home warm?" Zhang Xiaobao asked Shuiyun as if talking to someone, and Shuiyun called out.
"Oh, warm, what to eat? Now feed the worms, and when they get bigger, they will feed the meat. I'll let someone get live lambs, you choose, and when the children can fly, you have to take them by yourself. prey."
Zhang Xiaobao continued to talk to Shuiyun, and Shuiyun nodded, which made people look strange. I don't know if Shuiyun understood it, or if he was used to the action.
Zhang Ying also slowly climbed down from above, let Shuiyun rub his head on his face, and said to Zhang Xiaobao: "Hongluan has fed the two out of their shells and is sleeping, I think they can go out today. There are five or six shells, and it is estimated that they will be able to come out tomorrow, and there will not be too many days.
When it's all out, I don't have to worry about it anymore. I'm thinking, before it snows, I can start to practice flying. Be prepared in the lake and on the ground. The little eagle can fall far away with its wings, so don't hurt it. . "
"It will be arranged. When it comes to Xiaobei and the others, one of them will be raised, and the remaining two will be raised first. It is estimated that His Majesty can speak." Zhang Xiaobao has already started to figure out how to divide it.
Eagles grow faster than people, and when they grow up, they may be able to take Xiaobei and the others to the sky, but I don't know if Shuiyun can still drive him.
A little far away from the shelf, along with the news of the birth of Shuiyun and Hongluan's children, many people gathered, some watching the fun, some wondering if they could buy one, many rich people, thinking that Rich and powerful, as long as you have money, there is nothing you can't buy.
Some people even inquired with the Zhang Wang family standing in the outer inner courtyard, and asked them if Zhang Xiaobao would sell one or two, but the people in the inner courtyard were too lazy to answer, and asked, "Shuiyun is an official, you buy an official Try raising the child to play?"
The person who asked the question did not dare to speak again, and it was easy to be caught.
"Brother, are there any red ones? I want a big red eagle." Xiao Bei heard that he could get one, and began to ask.
"I don't know, I have to wait until the hair is changed and the shape is finalized. I will give you the red one." Zhang Xiaobao touched his sister's head, stood up and continued to look up.
Seeing that there was no major problem, he ordered: "Order, all unrelated people are not allowed to approach, and martial law is imposed within a thousand meters. Except for His Majesty to come here in person, all other princes and lords will be stopped, especially when I take the exam, who dares to take the opportunity Come here to make trouble, shoot on the spot, and kill me."
As soon as Zhang Xiaobao finished speaking, there was the sound of neat running on the road leading to this place. Most of the people turned their heads to look, and saw a team running from there, each with a strong body and a gun.
The first eunuch was Luo Bin, who often had contact with Zhang Xiaobao.
Zhang Xiaobao was relieved when he saw the outfit of the team. It was Jin Wuwei, Li Longji's personal guard, and there were 200 people.
Luo Bin ran to the front, took two breaths, and said to Zhang Xiaobao: "Master Zhang, Your Majesty heard that Shuiyun and Hongluan's child were out of the shell, and asked the young man to bring two hundred Jinwu guards over to protect him. Who would dare to hurt the official's son arbitrarily? Severe punishment is not slack, there is martial law in the radius of three miles, no passage, no approach, and if you violate it, you will be killed on the spot."
Luo Bin's voice was loud, not as small as Zhang Xiaobao's movement just now. When the people around heard it, well, Zhang Xiaobao was only going to be under martial law for one kilometer. The emperor actually circled the area for three miles. If Shuiyun is a person, this life is enough.
Zhang Xiaobao was happy: "Okay, wait for me to thank His Majesty for the grace."
"Master Zhang, the little ones can't go back, the little ones should stay here. Your Majesty said that if Shuiyun's children are in danger of being disturbed by others, they will cut off the little ones' heads. Therefore, Sir Zhang, your family's guard It also has to be used by the little ones, whoever dares to break in, the little ones have to kill him first for the sake of his head.”
Luo Bin gestured with his hand on his neck, as if he was afraid of death.
Zhang Xiaobao reached out to Wang Juan, Wang Juan took out a few banknotes from the bag, handed them to Luo Bin, and said, "In this way, you will have to worry more."
Luo Bin happily took the money, without looking at the specific amount, thinking that it could not be worse, seeing Zhang Xiaobao about to leave, he quickly said: "Master Zhang, Your Majesty said, let you keep two, and if you give the others, you will divide them. "
"Respect." Zhang Xiaobao agreed, and walked back with the people, secretly slandering Li Longji, no wonder he sent Jin Wuwei, if there were two, and said that the rest would be divided, I don't believe that he couldn't guess that the rest was just right Xiaobei and the others have one, and the two only need more or less, and Shuiyun and Hongluan's children have been separated.
"Wife, do you think this counts as our dear emperor's kindness to Shuiyun's son?" Zhang Xiaobao said to Wang Juan when he saw that there were no outsiders around.
Wang Juan was also very helpless: "Forget it, forget it, the main reason is that Shuiyun's ability is too dazzling, who doesn't want to get one, the next litter, there must be a prince or something to say hello to us, being so taken seriously, I don't know whether it is Shuiyun's conviction is still sad."
"It should be considered convinced. I didn't hear that Xiaoying will live with her parents when she grows up. She has to separate out and start a family by herself. Let's go. No matter how big you are, we will also have a litter of children, and we can't let Shuiyun compare."
"Go and have a baby with a pig."
※※※※
Shuiyun's turmoil can be said to have just started. The prince, the prince and the princes' sons are in a powerless situation. They can't compete for the emperor, so they can only continue to look forward to the next nest.
The civil servants felt that the emperor's care for Shuiyun exceeded the limit, and there were many discussions. The military officers were relieved. In their eyes, Shuiyun was regarded as the same kind. It is so, it belongs to the reward.
The generals knew that without Shuiyun, Wang Juan would not have achieved such impressive results in the first place. Shuiyun would not only cooperate with small groups to make sneak attacks, but also observe the enemy's situation and be responsible for air superiority.
Humanity: Guanshan's endless blade is cold and radiant, and he throws his head and fights on the battlefield. Who in Lingtian dares to raise his wings and defend a thousand miles and an eagle soars alone.
Therefore, the generals regard Shuiyun as a hero, at least there is no one in the sky, such a hero, should someone disturb him when he gives birth to a child?
Zhang Xiaobao didn't know that the Chinese and martial arts were divided into two factions and fought in front of Li Longji. The civil officials said that the text was in a crepe, citing scriptures. Come to the Quanwu Xing, let Shuiyun see, they are fighting civil servants on the ground, and they are also unmatched.
Zhang Xiaobao and others who returned to the Zhuangyuan Building ate first, and their hearts fell back to their stomachs. The taste is good, and I plan to try a few more varieties of sheep these days.
After the meal, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan guarded a set of tea sets to drink tea.
Small tea cups, one sip, Zhang Xiaobao drank six in a row, his mouth became more astringent, and asked Wang Juan: "What test questions will you take tomorrow?"
"How do I know, I didn't ask, it doesn't matter, you are still worried about not getting in the test?" Wang Juan continued to pour tea for Zhang Xiaobao, not worried at all.
"Don't be afraid, I'm free. Everyone else is guessing the exam questions, so I'll follow along. You have to prepare. After the civil test is finished, it's the martial test. If you can have two days off, call all the commanders at home. It's hard to sum up, cold soldiers fight hot weapons."
When Zhang Xiaobao accompanied Wang Juan to the generals, he was arrogant, and he was really clueless. There are two sets of rules for cold weapons and hot weapons. Slaying the head of an enemy general is like digging into a bag.
Wang Juan picked up the cup, stopped in front of his chest, and said: "It is impossible for each person to have a submachine gun for hot weapons. The weapons we make are purely handmade, and only our own troops and Li Longji's personal guards are staffed.
There are also few pistols. The rifling of pistols is more difficult than that of rifles. Most of them are rifles. The rifles are far away. When they are close to hand-to-hand combat, can the bayonet fight against cold weapons? I can't foolishly arrange a team, line up in an open plain, and wait for the guns of the opponent to fire in unison.
Cold weapons does not mean that I have eaten the opponent's team, and I can't use their guns. It is nothing more than when determining the loss, because the cold weapons people are not familiar with it, so the opponent's loss is small.
This time, I will let those generals who are proud of having guns realize that guns are not everything, otherwise they will suffer a big loss sooner or later. "
Zhang Xiaobao also understands that theoretically there are no invincible units, but if he were to deal with it, he would find it very troublesome, so he drank another cup of tea to signal Wang Juan that he was full.
Said: "I have all the generals' information. After the Wenju exam is completed, I will make a list and evaluate everyone."
"Okay, I'll leave the logistics to you. I may often do long-distance transfers in order to find fighter planes. You can't make mistakes in how to allocate and hide the logistics." Wang Juan takes a sand table exercise very seriously. She must win.
Zhang Xiaobao also said seriously: "Don't worry, I just like to do this. I will make the logistics cooperate very coquettishly. Bring the map and I will study it."
Zhang Xiaobao said to get the map.
"Don't you guess the test questions?" Wang Juan asked with a smile.
"There is nothing to guess, I am the champion, if you dare not give me the champion, I will not be an official. I will leave a lot of mess and see who can clean it up, and whoever is the champion will take over. , I'm exhausting him."
Zhang Xiaobao held his chest out, raised his head and went to the study to look for a map. Wang Juan sat there and kept laughing.
※※※※
The next day, the day of the imperial examination finally came.
There are anxious candidates, who have eaten in a hurry and headed towards the Furong Garden. People can wear clothes and go there. At that time, there will be a sergeant search. As for the lunch, as well as pen, ink, paper and inkstone, the imperial court is responsible.
To be precise, the restaurant that sells rice and the shop that sells the Four Treasures of the Study are in charge. The bowls that hold the rice and the plates that hold the vegetables will leave the imprint of the restaurant, and the same goes for the Four Treasures of the Study.
In the past, the students brought it by themselves, and the imperial court would not give it. Now Li Longji can also do business. Some of the students who take the exam will become officials. Who can provide them with things? Good idea.
Therefore, there are many restaurants that are willing to provide meals, and many provide stationery. Therefore, Li Longji charges, yes, if you provide meals and stationery, you have to take money. If you don’t take money, you don’t need your stuff.
The students all walked away solemnly. Only Zhang Xiaobao, Wang Juan, and the students from Jianjia Academy were not in a hurry. People from the academy would follow Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan.
Zhang Xiaobao had eaten and sat there drinking some tea and digesting food, and then he led the team to the Furong Garden.
Outside the Furong Garden, the soldiers in line waited, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan went straight in, and the students of the academy needed to stop for inspection.
In this regard, none of the other candidates who came around the same time thought it was inappropriate. Who would dare to search the bodies of Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan? No one would believe the two of them who would cheat. If they wanted to cheat, they had already answered the questions by heart.
Entering the examination room, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan found their positions by number. The two were next to each other, separated only by a wooden wall. There was a soldier with a gun standing outside each single room.
Of course, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan's outside are different. There are at least 20 people outside. They are called proctors, but they are actually for protection.
Wang Juan is also admitted to the Scholars, she intends to put some pressure on Zhang Xiaobao, it is not easy to be compared by her daughter-in-law, right?
With the door outside closed, it was time for the exam.
The official in charge of the examination first nodded to Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, then said something complimenting Li Longji, and emphasized the discipline of the examination room, and then walked to Zhang Xiaobao and asked, "Master Zhang, is it alright?"
Zhang Xiaobao glared at the examiner, which meant, "Are you stupid? Ask me."
The examiner understood and immediately announced the start. Unsealing the exam papers is not the way to read them before. It is to send out papers. If you feel that there is not enough paper, you can ask the examiner for it.
Zhang Xiaobao unfolded the paper. The first question was Tiejing. The Jinshi examination was Tiejijing, which was actually a fill-in-the-blank question.
Zhang Xiaobao glanced at it and saw that it read, "My Wenkao, Wang Kecheng Juexun, was born with the mandate of Heaven to help Fang Xia." As for the back, there was one empty after another, a large row.
"I thought it was too difficult to take the "Shangshu" exam. I knew this earlier, let Xiaoyuan come, and he can get a good score in the exam," Zhang Xiaobao snorted, and filled in the blank with a pen.
After writing, go on to the next one, it's a miscellaneous essay, that is, a question, let you write a poem and a fu according to the meaning of the question, Zhang Xiaobao will go there first, and writing poetry and fu will delay things, first put the simple Done.
After that, there is current affairs policy, also known as policy theory, give a topic, and then discuss it, but you need to reach five questions.
Zhang Xiaobao glanced at the question, and it really had something to do with him. There were the issues of Henan Road, the issue of external warfare, the issue of domestic economic construction, the issue of railway construction, and the issue of the layout of the river.
Zhang Xiaobao looked at the question, thought about it, and knocked on the wooden board next door.
"What are you doing, cheating." Wang Juan asked in a low voice.
But the people next door on the other side of Wang Juan heard it, and they were very angry. If you copied it, just ask the question directly, why do you need to ask each other at this time.
Zhang Xiaobao didn't care about those things and said, "Don't answer the current affairs policy. If you don't take pictures, that's called bullying. If you take pictures, the examiners will see them. Are you not afraid of revealing secrets?"
"Oh, that's right." Wang Juan responded and asked, "If you don't answer, your score will be low."
"Who dares to say that my current affairs are not good? Who wants to know, come and ask me, I will tell him, I will tell him all the secrets and layout, I will scare him to death." Zhang Xiaobao said disdainfully.
"Okay, I don't answer either." Wang Juan responded.
At this time, the resentment in the hearts of the candidates who heard around them disappeared, and it was replaced by understanding and admiration. Looking at Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, they did not know how to write.
The current affairs policy that I am answering now is not to see if it can be compatible with the thoughts of the two of them. The closer it is, the higher the evaluation. I told the emperor directly, how could it be written so that many people could see it?
Zhang Xiaobao is relieved now, there are three major topics in total, and now there is still one poem and one poem left. Seven-character or five-character? Rhythm or quatrain?"
"Don't disturb other people, I don't write verses and quatrains, I write songs." Wang Juan was annoyed.
