A big carp that was being put into a carriage in a net bag suddenly swung its tail violently, and cried out in pain. Seven or eight people were thrown to the ground by the tail of the big carp, and they all fell to the ground in a very embarrassed state. Rolled several times.
"Haha, who said they don't struggle?" Chu Tian laughed dryly, and quickly turned back to glance at the rat who was lying on the eaves, gnawing his tail.
Lord Mouse nodded rather angrily, sneakily jumped down from the eaves, and slipped onto the carriage at the front. This place is still dozens of miles away from Yishan Academy, which is enough for Master Shu to do some tricks on these golden-scaled carp, causing some subtle changes in their "height, short, fat and thin".
You can't really send ten identical golden-scaled carps to your door, right
The giant carp with golden scales that is one foot and two feet long is quite heavy, and the special water tank weighs even more than 10,000 kilograms. There are no divine draft horses in the fish market. Relying on those horse-drawn carts, it only took two people for dozens of miles. For more than an hour, after working from dawn to dawn, Chu Tian led a group of sweaty coachmen and Lifu to stand in front of the gate of Yaishan Academy.
Yaoshan Mountain is pure, elegant and strange, and Yaozhou is named after this mountain.
The tallest mountain, no more than 200 feet tall, stands in the southwest corner of Yizhou City. The mountains and plains are covered with plum trees that are more than a thousand years old. When the snow falls in winter, the plum blossoms bloom all over the mountain, and the fragrance fills the city of Yizhou. The first scenic spot in the state.
Yizhou is a newly established state on the border of the Jin Dynasty. In the past, there was only one government school established in the state capital. The professors and doctoral studies in the school were mediocre. Naturally, there were not many outstanding scholars in the city of Yizhou.
Ten years ago, Xun Yu, a political official in the Jin Dynasty and a famous literary scholar, resigned from his official position and left the world. He took a group of disciples to Yazhou. He happened to fall in love with the plum blossoms in Yaoshan Mountain and couldn't go there. There is Yishan Academy.
Because of Xun Yu's literary reputation, Yishan Academy had just been established, and officials and talented people from several surrounding states gathered in droves, all wanting to become Xun Yu's disciples. However, Xun Yu was very strict in his studies, and the threshold of Yishan Academy was extremely high. In the past ten years, there were only a thousand disciples in the academy.
Chu Tian stood at the main entrance of Yaishan Academy and looked up and down, and suddenly laughed. It was indeed the academy that countless scholars in the surrounding states dreamed of. This Yaishan Academy was indeed not short of money!
After working as a fish stall owner for three years, Chutian spent his whole day hanging out with people in the market and never messed with those high-spirited scholars. This was the first time he saw what Yaishan Academy looked like.
This academy is clearly a small city. The main entrance is two rather simple bronze gates. The courtyard wall is two feet high and six feet thick. This is not like the courtyard wall of an academy. The walls of an ordinary small city are not as thick as those of an academy. It's not as good as this academy.
What's even more domineering is that the courtyard wall of this academy extends from the foot of the mountain, encompassing the entire Yaoshan Mountain.
In other words, the most famous fragrant plum snow scene in Yishan, because of this courtyard wall, has become unique to Yishan Academy. The common people and ordinary people in Yizhou City will only be able to smell the snow falling from the mountain in the cold winter months. The fragrance of plum blossoms makes me look at the plum trees on the mountain from a distance.
Standing on the back of the old yellow wolf, he stood on tiptoe as hard as he could. His sight could reach beyond the height of the courtyard wall. Behind the courtyard gate was a large square paved with bluestones. Neat rows of teaching buildings on the left and right were spacious and bright, with blue bricks. Black tiles, crisp and clear.
At the end of the square is a very tall pavilion, which is more than two feet higher than the main hall of the Yazhou Prefecture.
The seven-story pavilion has brackets and cornices, and fist-sized wind chimes hang from the corners. From a distance, hundreds of wind chimes are shining with golden light, and they are all made of red gold.
When Chu Tian looked into the academy, he didn't know who was so elegant. All the doors and windows on the highest floor of the pavilion were opened, and someone was playing the harp. The sound of "Xian Weng Xian Weng" came with the wind, and the confusion The "ding-dong" sound of the wind chimes is really sweet.
There was also a faint warm fragrance coming with the wind. Chutian, Agou, and Aqiao sniffed and grinned at the same time.
"Century-year-old ambergris, mixed with the fragrant oil from the heart of the 'Yangshenmu' tree. It's so luxurious!"
Yazhou is located in the wilderness of southwest Jin Dynasty, but ambergris is only produced in the coastal areas east of Jin Dynasty. The distance from the southwest to the coast of the East China Sea is more than 100,000 miles. The price of a dried sea fish from there will be at least a hundred times higher when shipped to Yizhou, not to mention the already extremely high price of ambergris
As for the sesame oil from the heart of the tree, it was a tribute from the imperial court. Its only special effect is to prolong life. The top-grade sesame oil from the heart of the tree is said to be able to extend a person’s life by sixty years!
Such wonderful things have always been tightly controlled by the Jin Dynasty. They are rare to see on the market. Even if they are available, they are astronomically high.
"This Doctor Xun Yu can afford to burn hundreds of years of ambergris and balm oil every day... I'm afraid, if it were me, I wouldn't be that political doctor anymore. I'd find a place with beautiful scenery and a few rooms." Concubine, this is more enjoyable than being an emperor!"
Chu Tian stood on the back of the old yellow wolf and murmured to himself, just look at the domineering style of this academy that surrounds the entire Yashan Mountain with a courtyard wall to monopolize the scenery, and look at the generosity of using red gold to make wind chimes, and the fact that it usually burns for hundreds of years. The luxury of ambergris and nourishing tree core oil is difficult for this old Master Xun Yu to deal with.
"More than a few concubines?" Lord Shu lightly scurried to Chu Tian's shoulder, leaned into his ear and whispered in a low voice: "I don't know where his legal wife has been lost. Anyway, he doesn't have his legal wife in the academy. But he is... Erba Jing has eighteen concubines, all of them as beautiful as flowers and jade. He only has concubines, and he has ninety-nine and eighty-one personal maids!"
Grinding his teeth fiercely, Master Shu muttered with jealousy and envy: "There is no one left! Just like that, this old guy still sneaks to the brothel in the city to live happily!"
Lord Shu was so angry that he rolled on Chu Tian's shoulder: "Oh my God, a lightning strike will kill this old bastard. He is over eighty years old, why doesn't he die immediately?"
The two doors of the academy opened silently, and a dozen servants dressed in white silk shorts walked out in neat lines.
Ling Fu followed the boy servant with a smile. He glanced sideways at Chu Tian and said with a "hehe" smile: "Ah, Chu Stall? You said you won't come today? Tsk, tut, it seems, I Ling Your face is quite useful, isn’t it? Come on, let’s see what your big carp with golden scales, one foot long, looks like, are there ten of them?”
With his hands behind his back, Ling Fu swaggered to a carriage with the boy servant, and with difficulty he climbed onto the shaft of the carriage and took a look into the water tank.
The sun was shining brightly, and the golden scales of the one-foot-two-foot-long golden carp in the water tank shone brightly, and its long fish whiskers trembled slightly. The golden light was also dazzling, and it almost blinded Ling Fu's pair of dogs. Eye.
"Ah! What a good thing!" Ling Fu exclaimed with joy: "Hurry, hurry, send it in quickly, let Master Ling Yue be happy too!"
