In the Qianqing Palace, Dai Yi was summarizing the contents of the day's memorial.
"The telescope made by Mr. Zhang has been sent to Xuanfu, Datong, Piantou and other places. The soldiers have used it and reported that it is more effective in judging the enemy's situation. They are full of praise. The censor of Zuodu , Wang Yue, who will be appointed as the left minister of the Ministry of War, thanked him and said that he would apply for more from Ningxia, Yansui and other places."
Zhu Youtang said, "It will be used so quickly."
p>Dai Yidao, "Yes, Your Majesty, after receiving your imperial edict, he hastened to deliver the twenty-one telescopes to the border. However, it has been said recently that the Northwest Tatars have passed the limelight. Maybe they also know that Wang Junmen has arrived. Xuanfu didn’t dare to violate the situation again. The battle at Helan Mountain was too satisfying.”
“Alas”
Zhu Youtang sighed, as if fighting at Helan Mountain. It's a bit regretful, "The scale is very large, but the results are not satisfactory."
This means that if the thunder is loud and the rain is small, if I can kill hundreds of Tatars, I will be a little happier. , isn’t the number of just killing forty-two Tatars a bit too shabby?
Dai Yi sighed, “It’s a pity that Wang Junmen can’t stay in the northwest for too long, otherwise, it will definitely be like the Red Salt Pond and Weiwei. Like Ning Hai, they promoted the power of our Ming army. But now the Tatars in the northwest are frightened by the name of Wang Junmen."
The reason why Zhu Youtang re-activated Wang Yue. It was Wang Yue who repeatedly created the strategic miracles of the Ming Dynasty after Tumu Fort during the Chenghua period. In the battles of Hongyanchi and Weininghai, he beheaded hundreds of Di Yidu.
Wang Yue was also granted the title of Wei Ningbo at that time, but unfortunately in the last years of Chenghua, he was deprived of his title and official position, which ended badly.
Originally, this time the monarch and his ministers are united, they can help Wang Yue make up for what he lost, but you just kill forty people, how can I reward you
If you kill dozens of people If you can be knighted again, wouldn't it mean that there will be more killings of good people in the northwest in the future?
"Let's stop the telescope thing for now." Zhu Youtang said, "I promised Bingkuan, in Don't disturb him too much before the examination. Every time you ask him to enter the palace, it will distract him. If he fails to pass the imperial examination, won't he be unable to fulfill my wish?"
"Yes"
p>Dai Yi heard that the emperor was now focused on giving Zhang Zhou a reasonable reason to become an official, instead of letting Zhang Zhou start his career as a minister.
Border stability is not as important as this.
"As for Wang Yue, let him stay in Xuanfu for a while. If there is really no movement in the Tatars, let him return to the capital. The left minister of the Ministry of War also has a heavy burden. There are always needs for ministry affairs. Someone will take care of it."
Zhu Youtang made arrangements for Wang Yue's future itinerary.
Dai Yi asked, "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager sent someone earlier to ask Mr. Zhang to go to Renshou Palace to talk to her."
Zhu You Zang sighed and said, "I am fully aware of the imperial grandmother's wish for me to have more children, so why bother Bingkuan? I will let Bingkuan go, but I will also explain that Bingkuan will not enter the palace as much as possible in the future. If he fails the exam, Jinshi, IWho will be used then?"
Dai Yi secretly thought, if Zhang Zhouzhong is not selected as a Jinshi, will it have any impact on whether His Majesty will use him?
It is just a question of whether he is justified, even if he is a Jinshi , no one else can just enter the palace to accept the special errands assigned by the emperor.
"The old servant will go back and make arrangements"
In the main courtyard of the Zhang family mansion.
p>
As expected, Jiang Dezhong got drunk again.
When Jiang Pingyu came out to take a look, Jiang Dezhong was already sitting on the ground chatting with his son-in-law.
"I'm telling you, I've never been drunk. I have drunk countless drinks in my life, always drinking from one tank after another. No one in the world can match my drinking capacity. Do you understand? Even if Li Bai, the master of wine, comes, I have to surrender. Where is my wallet? Who can see me? My wallet is gone"
Looking for my wallet, I was groping back and forth on the ground.
Jiang Pingyu said anxiously, "Dad, why is this happening?"
Zhang Zhou looked at the table He went to the empty wine jar in front of Jiang Dezhong and said, "One jar of wine is enough for him to drink. ”
“That’s not much. "Jiang Pingyu is very strange.
She is roughly aware of her father's drinking capacity. He can usually drink a large jar, but now this small jar of wine can make him so drunk that he can't find the north.
Zhang Zhou gestured at the wine jar. It probably weighed less than four kilograms, which is equivalent to less than the capacity of a two-liter Coke bottle. If the Jiang family’s wine was over 20 degrees high, Jiang Dezhong drank more than three kilograms, and there was no problem at all.
The key is
This is the imperial wine. Jiang Dezhong said he looked down on other people's imperial wine, but the degree was there.
p>
Anyone who drinks more than 50 degrees of Laobaigan will be in trouble.
Jiu Xian is useless.
"Madam, there is nothing you can do about it. My son is older, and my father-in-law may be happy to see me again after a long absence. "Zhang Zhou said.
Jiang Pingyu looked at her husband with curiosity in her eyes, as if asking, if your father drinks it, will you be okay?
Zhang Zhou shook his Jiutan said, "I didn't drink much. "
Just as he was talking, the servants of the Jiang family also came in. When they saw their master sitting on the ground having fun, they quickly went up to help me.
"Don't help me. I haven't drunk much. I can’t even tell you how to cool down here, no one can drink from me.”
As soon as Jiang Dezhong looked up, he saw Zhang Zhou and his wife, and then he said nervously, “It’s you, what are your names?” But please don't tell my son-in-law. My son-in-law is the reincarnation of a wine jar. He must have been soaked in wine in his previous life. I don’t accept anyone. Wow, I actually lost to him twice.”
People are already crying.
I’m still crying.
Jiang Pingyu’s heart He said, "I want to do it again."
"Dad" Jiang Pingyu also wanted to go up and help.
Zhang Zhou didn't let Jiang Pingyu go up, who knows that this old drunkard is drunk. What can he do? Before Zhang Zhou, no one had ever seen this guy.How about the wine? Now the old guy can't even recognize his daughter and son-in-law.
Zhang Zhou said to the Jiang family's servants, "Help the man back, go out and ask someone to come in and help him. Bring him the wine and let him go back and taste it slowly. See if he can figure out how to make wine." "What kind of recipe?"
Jiang Pingyu was also confused. < /p>
"This is alas"
After hearing this, Jiang Pingyu felt both angry and ridiculous, unable to laugh or cry.
Jiang Dezhong was helped out by two servants of the Jiang family. As he walked, he turned around and made an appointment with his son-in-law, "Who is that? You have a good drinker. I will introduce you to my son-in-law next time. He is from the palace, so he can do things reliably."
Zhang Zhou frowned, listen to this, I am a eunuch
Zhang Zhou sent Jiang Dezhong to the door, and there was someone not far away. The carriage came from Duke Chengguo's Mansion.
Zhu Feng jumped out of the car, and Zhang Lun also got off like a follower. They were all curious about what was going on in front of Zhang's house.
"Hey, you are a distinguished official. Whose family is this?"
"Master, it's time to go"
In the end, Jiang Dezhong was almost carried by a servant Then he stuffed himself into the carriage.
"Brother Zhang, this is"
Zhu Feng was also stunned.
What's going on? Brother Zhang didn't just come back not long ago, why did the Jiang family bring out such a thing?
Zhang Zhou said, "My old Taishan came to visit me from Nanjing, so I gave him some Let’s have a taste of Yujiu, that’s it.”
“Yujiu” Zhu Feng’s lips twitched, “Is there any more?”
Zhang Zhou said coldly, “You just came to drink with me. "
"No, isn't that right? After you finish your imperial mission, there are still many things waiting for you to deal with," Zhu Feng said with a smile.
Zhang Zhou asked curiously, "What else can we talk about later? I didn't say everything that should be said when we were at the palace gate earlier."
Zhu Feng was startled, and then thought of what was happening at the palace gate. Dialogue
I want to tell you at the palace gate that you only mentioned to me about having a baby and asked if there was a woman named Chen.
It doesn’t match.
"That's right. I heard that you have colored glaze over there. Someone wants to ask if they can make a batch and sell them as antiques and treasures." Zhu Feng looked hopeful.
It's like panning for gold in the sand, or turning stones into gold.
Although ordinary colored glaze products were no longer a rarity in the Ming Dynasty, they were mostly used as tributes, especially those of good quality. Ordinary people could not see pure white colored glaze.
Zhang Zhou shook his head.
He made colored glaze not as a handicraft, nor to make telescopes, nor to use it as window glass.
The blue ocean market he wants to target is myopia glasses and reading glasses.
In the Ming Dynasty, myopia and presbyopia are also stubborn diseases that plague scholars and the elderly. If you can make a batch and sell them, wouldn't you directly enter the high-end market and make a lot of money?
p>As for the loss of handicrafts, Mr. Zhu can figure it out.
Zhang Zhou wanted to say that if that thing was used as a collectible craft, it would probably not be worth much, and it might soon end up in the street.
“Zhijie, there are plenty of colored glazes all over the south. If you want to treat them as antiques and treasures, do you want to bully the dignitaries in the capital who don’t even know how to do it?” Zhang Zhou said, “In this case, I will give you a few pairs of finished products. Something to put on the bridge of your nose. Go back and see if anyone is willing to buy it. I call it glasses, which are specially designed for people with short-sightedness and blurred vision in the elderly. ”
“ What?"
Zhu Feng was confused.
I'll talk to you about antiques and treasures, you talk to me about glasses
As he spoke, Zhang Zhou turned and walked back to the aisle, "Come back tomorrow and I will give it to you. I still have some Something is wrong, please see if you are okay.”
“I have a letter here, it’s Miss Lin.”
Zhang Zhou was also very curious, and Zhu Feng seemed to be interested in being a “matchmaker.” "I was very interested in this matter. Miss Lin actually became a "pen pal" with him. After writing a letter, she asked him to reply, and then the second letter came.
You won’t educate him with great principles this time, right?
This kind of rich lady has no values at all, and she lives entirely in the worldview shaped by others.
"Zhijie, do you know what the power of eyesight is? I have been a monk in the palace for so many days. Do you think it is easy for me to take Zhang Lun with me when I have time? I will treat you to a drink when I have time, and drink imperial wine."
Zhang Zhou walked toward his yard while chasing people away, and did not invite anyone in after entering.
Then the door closed with a bang.
"Alas" Zhu Feng sighed there.
Zhang Lun was dumbfounded. One of us is the eldest grandson of the British Duke, and the other is the second son of the Chengguo Duke. To be shut out like this, you, Zhu Feng, have no temper at all
Zhu Feng looked at Zhang Lun beside him, pointed at the Zhang family gate and said, "He is like that, I am talking about your husband."
Zhang Lun solemnly emphasized, "He is not yet "My husband."
"Humph"
Zhu Feng said disdainfully, "If you want to worship him, he may not be willing to accept it. What do you think he is doing these days? He is alone. The kind of person who teaches the prince day and night in the palace. Why do you think your old man asked you to come and worship him? He is not only knowledgeable, but also well versed in heavenly secrets and secrets, and can communicate with immortals and ghosts. "< /p>
Zhang Lun""
Zhu Feng said, "It's a pity that I am too old to be his teacher, otherwise this good opportunity will definitely not fall on you. If you listen to me, give me I'll work harder and I'll help you achieve good things."
Zhang Lun shook his head, "Let's forget it."
"Yes, that's right. , this matter of healing, youYou should also learn from him, maybe you will become a miracle doctor."
Zhang Lun felt even more uncomfortable after hearing this.
You are the second son of Chengguo Gongfu, and you have not inherited the title. But I have the power, why should I be a miracle doctor? It’s all over if you just become one.
In the city, Cheng Min’s government residence
That day Tang Yin was invited to visit, it was Cheng Minzheng. He took the initiative to call Tang Yin.
This time, Cheng Minzheng was entrusted by his old friend Shen Zhou. Shen Zhou wanted Cheng Minzheng to enlighten Tang Yin so that Tang Yin could recuperate and prepare well for the exam. /p>
"Bohu, I heard that you are always writing poems and paintings outside recently, and you are high-profile. Why don't you focus on studying and try to pass the Jinshi exam next year and be ranked in the imperial class from now on? Not only are you good at poetry and painting, but you are also good at writing. He is even more talented in writing essays, so you shouldn’t be distracted at this time."
Cheng Minzheng has met Tang Yin once. Although he also thinks Tang Yin is wild and unruly, he appreciates Tang Yin's talent and learning.
Cheng Minzheng is knowledgeable.
Tang Yin came second in the Jiangnan Township exam, not because of his lack of talent, but because he was defeated by Zhang Zhoujian's deviant approach.
Tang Yin said, "A scholar, if you are fettered and unable to cope, why bother forcing yourself?"
"Listen to what you mean, you should study as you please." Cheng Minzheng frowned, "You are dealing with that Xu Heng father, I don't support it. Although he is talented, he is different from you. You should set higher aspirations than him, and you should not be as unruly as him. Ishida recently came to me and told me that you have always been upset about the fact that your ranking in the Jiangnan Township Examination fell behind Zhang Bingkuan, and you also said that you had to compete with him. But Zhang Bingkuan refuses to see you. ”
Tang Yin almost gritted his teeth and said, “Those who seek fame and reputation. "
"This person dares to come forward and be known to the world, but he can also hide himself before the examination. He knows what is the top priority. Have you ever thought that even if you are allowed to meet him and compare with him, if you are not as good as him in the interview or the imperial examination, what will it mean to you?"
Of course Cheng Minzheng cannot tell Tang Yin, in fact, Zhang Zhou's status is far from being as simple as being a scholar or a Gongsheng student.
You, Tang Yin, are really incomparable, and you are not qualified to compete.
The only thing you can do is to pass the examination. Jinshi.
Being famous is not important to you. What is important is that you are responsible for your own life.
