September is clear, the blue sky is like washing, the blue is high, and the autumn wind blows away the hot air.

September is golden, and one after another golden yellow catches people's eyes, and even the clear stream at dusk is reflected in the golden color.

September is the harvest season, and the faces of the two princes are full of laughter, and the good news is one after another.

The whole capital is talking about it, Xia Shuwen, the second master of the Lianghou Mansion, won the Wenju and Wuju double solution in one fell swoop in the autumn exam, and in the martial arts, he knocked Yayuan down in just 20 moves (what everyone doesn't know is that if Shujie didn't repeatedly explain that he didn't embarrass people too much, it would definitely not exceed ten moves).

Several popular candidates for this imperial examination suddenly had the urge to "hold hands and look at each other with tears in their eyes", the three brothers and sisters of the Xia family are all blessed with strange things, why are they so unlucky to meet the same Xia Shuwen? It's not that they give themselves back, but they have an intuition that Xia Shuwen has a tendency to connect with three yuan, no, it should be four yuan from Lianzhong, and he was the head of the case when he was taking the Xiucai exam.

In the palace and the imperial study, the emperor was looking through the information of the liberal arts and sciences in various places, and laughed at Jin Xida, who was drinking tea on the side: "It's a pity that your two marquis mansions will be small in the future, and it will take more than ten years to make a profit, otherwise why don't I worry about not having enough talents?" ”

The corners of Jin Xida's eyes twitched: "Your Majesty, the ministers will get to the bottom first, so as not to make your old man angry at that time." Chen and Shujie promised Wen'er, as long as he can be named on the gold list, he can follow him if he can't get into the office, and we will no longer interfere with him choosing what he likes to do. That kid, uh, doesn't seem to be in the courtroom. He said his favorite thing to do was to earn money. Count the silver. Therefore, I am determined to be a great imperial businessman. Uh, cough cough, I want to compete with Nangong Lao'er for the position of the richest man in Da Zhou. ”

The father-in-law of Dafuzi standing next to him shook his hand, and the Buddha dust almost fell to the ground, "My favorite thing to do is to earn silver and count silver"? This second master's ambition is also ...... Belch...... Wouldn't it be too vulgar and a little philistine? Also, do you want to be so direct? Although no one will really dislike silver.

Jin Xida glanced at the emperor cautiously and continued: "Your Majesty. Wen'er's kid can be regarded as something you grew up watching, although he is a little smart, but that temperament is really not suitable for the court. ”

When the emperor said the "lofty ambition" of the book and the text of the book, he suddenly thought of something, and took out the book and read the article again. It was a treatise on how the imperial court could further revitalize the economy and enrich the national treasury.

In it, the book expounds a new point of view: the main income of the imperial court now depends on taxes, in fact, the imperial court can also do business, mainly those industries with large investment, high risk, and of course, large returns, can be responsible for special talents, and can also cooperate with merchants. In this way, it not only supported merchants who had the ability to do business but did not have the power to support them, but also brought more benefits to the imperial court. Replenish the national treasury and strengthen the military. At the same time, it can also avoid the monopoly of the big family. Avoid the economic lifeblood of the Great Zhou in the hands of a few great families.

His fingers tapped on the article for a long time, and when Jin Xida felt a little unsure of the emperor's attitude, a thousand-year-old fox-like smile flashed across the emperor's face, and he said: "It's okay, I don't want to force the book, that kid has been clever and individual since he was a child, and it's not beautiful to tie him up." He likes to play with silver, so let's let him play with silver, hahaha. ”

So easy to talk to? Jin Xida vaguely felt that something was wrong, but he still hurriedly said: "The minister Wen'er thanked the emperor first." ”

The emperor waved his hand: "Don't thank you too early, I have conditions." But, hehe, wait for that kid to have the ability to name the gold list. ”

Condition? What conditions? Jin Xida was stunned, how would the emperor embarrass the book? He knew that there must be something wrong when the emperor was too good at talking. However, the law of the Great Zhou Dynasty did not limit the title of the gold list to be an official in the court, and in the early years, there was a senior who had no intention of being an official, and returned to his hometown to run a school after the high school list. He participated in the scientific examination just to prove that he had enough talent and qualifications to run a college and train students. This academy is the most famous Lushan Academy in Jiangnan.

However, the emperor's Chrysostom has been opened, and Jin Xida can't say anything more, isn't it time yet? It's useless to say anything.

The emperor didn't have time to pay attention to the entanglement in Jin Xida's heart, he was very excited at the moment, and there were a lot of ideas popping up, well, we have to organize it well, and when the kid in Shuwen finishes the scientific examination, he will catch it and discuss it well.

That kid wants to be the richest man in Da Zhou? No problem, he can even give him the maximum support. The premise is that at the same time, the treasury of the Great Zhou should be filled and make a great contribution to the prosperity and strength of the Great Zhou.

The emperor did not think that Shuwen's ambition to "become the richest man in the Great Zhou" was just a child's heart and ambition. The current silver of the Lianghou Mansion was not earned by Jin Xida and Shujie. Those two Hou Ye, who can be called his right-hand men, have no talent in earning silver in this world. For example, how much silver did the little Xiaoice ball alone earn for the Lianghou Mansion? Those two people couldn't have come up with such an idea even if they broke their heads.

As far as the emperor knows, the industries of the Lianghou Mansion, even including the dowry industries of the old lady, Mo Niang, and Nangong Miao, are all taken care of by the book.

The more the emperor thought about it, the more he felt that his sudden plan was too wonderful. Well, he was originally a wise man, so he naturally knew how to use it because of his talents. The kid in Shuwen used it well, and if he couldn't get it, he would be able to beat the big group of old guys in the household department who only knew how to call them poor and ask for silver!

Shuwen, who was calculated and didn't know it, was warming the book in his own study, and suddenly sneezed three times in a row, so startled that he hurriedly ran over and closed a window facing Shuwen, and muttered in his mouth: "It's strange, there's no wind." Now in this season, it's cool at night, but it's okay during the day! "What's even stranger is that their second master can't sneeze a few times a year, right?

His train of thought was interrupted, and Shuwen simply put down the book and got up to walk around the courtyard. Shangjin was happy to relax with his master, and talked about gossip: "Second master, you don't know, these days there are constant visitors to the house, and they are all here to find the old lady, the lady, and the grandmother to find out." ”

"Probe the wind? What kind of tone to talk about? Shuwenqi said, "Who is saying that the father-in-law and the eldest brother have fallen out of favor?" ”

Upward pouting: "How is it possible?" What else is so exciting about these people now? Naturally, it's your family affair with the second master. ”

"Cut," Shuwen blushed in shame and gave Shangjin a punch, "My father-in-law and eldest brother have long said that I will not discuss this until I am after the scientific examination, or after I am eighteen years old." "Now he has just finished the township exam, he is not yet sixteen years old, and he has a lot of things to do, what kind of marriage, marriage, the distance is so far, right? He never thought about it.

But, uh, if there is a woman he likes and likes him to accompany him in the future, just like the eldest brother and sister-in-law, it will not be bad.

But what kind of woman does he like? Shuwen was worried, except for his family, he hadn't been in contact with many girls outside. Uh, anyway, it must not be like Xu Bing'er of the Xu family in Yulin who jumped into the pond by herself and then wanted to find her eldest brother to save her, or Shi Juan in Pei Yuma's mansion.

Can't blame Shuwen for directly taking these two people as negative examples, Xu Bing'er wanted to rely on Shujie that time, and the bad image of the young Shuwen was too deep. There is also Shi Juan, who is like a little white flower, over the years, every time Shuwen goes to the palace of Princess Zhangzhu, he will always "meet" Shi Juan at the door with a delicate face, a good face, and a crying at every turn.

I don't know how Shi Juan knew about his visit, he was always able to come just right, and kept saying something "great kindness, no repayment". Hmph, he didn't want her to repay the favor, so it was enough not to bother him all the time. Since he likes to blush and be shy so much, he shouldn't always stop him at the door of the princess's mansion to talk!

Later, Shuwen couldn't bear it anymore, and euphemistically told Shi Jing that "you don't need to worry about it" and "don't ruin Miss Shi's reputation". Shi Jing blushed, embarrassed and repeatedly promised that nothing like that would happen again.

I don't know how Shi Jing educated his sister, but fortunately, after that, Shuwen went to Princess Zhangzhu's Mansion again, and finally didn't have to face the "Thanksgiving Dade" of the little white flower.

A good girl should be as generous and polite as her sister and sister-in-law, and she should be as lively and delicate as the fourth princess and the lord of Yuegui, isn't it? But many girls, obviously with their eyes rolling, like to pretend to be shy; I don't know the etiquette, but I like to pretend to be naïve, it's really ...... I don't know what to say.

Shuwen pursed his lips contemptuously, shook his head, and was about to go back to the study to continue reading the book, when he ran in like a gust of wind: "Second master, good news, the Turks have signed a surrender and an armistice agreement, and the second uncle has made great contributions again, I heard that the emperor has made the second uncle a generalissimo." ”

"Really? Is the second uncle going back to Beijing to thank him? Shuwen asked excitedly, in addition to the "champion emperor businessman", Shuwen has had a dream of being a general since he was a child, and his second uncle Yun Deqing is a big hero in his mind.

"Huh? I don't know," Tongjin touched his head embarrassedly, "It was the old general who sent someone to report the good news, and the minion heard this and quickly ran back to tell you, hehe, the minion will ask again?" ”

Shuwen shook his head amusedly: "No need, it's going to be dinner time in a while." "When the time comes, the father-in-law and the eldest brother will definitely say it in detail.

Sure enough, Jin Xida and Shujie were also happy when they came back, and Shujie said with a smile: "The two Turkic princes are going to Beijing to worship, and the second uncle will also return to Beijing together to thank him, and there are several generals who have made great contributions." By the way, Daqiang is also among them. ”

"Wow, Brother Da Qiang is amazing, he used to be so thin and small, who would have thought that he would be a majestic general now," after all, it was an old acquaintance when he was a child, and he was very happy for Da Qiang, "Go ahead, tomorrow you go to your grandfather Zhuangzi and tell Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu, let them be happy first." (To be continued......)
