Jiang Tian got up from the bed and then stretched his waist, yesterday was the first time he had a drink since he crossed, and he really experienced the pleasure of being light and light. It's actually quite strange to say, last night Liu Baokai really drank with himself properly, and refused the girls who wanted to recommend themselves to the pillow, and then he was helped back by the family members. This is not in line with the usual style of perverts? He didn't think much about it, anyway, he was going to say goodbye to Beijing in a few days, and his fate with these gentlemen would end here, maybe ten or even decades later, they would occasionally pass by a small place and see themselves sitting leisurely in the shade of a tree basking in the sun. But until then, at least the tune has to be made.

Xi Yun didn't know that he had such a plan, after hearing the movement of getting up, he silently brought a basin of washing water to the room and prepared to serve and freshen up, but he didn't expect that someone was more diligent than her, Zhao Zhi trotted into the house, and stretched out his hand to help Jiang Tian get out of bed.

Jiang Tian looked at them with a smile, and said in his heart that the corrupt life of this ancient man is comfortable, not to mention the servants and scholars, you still have an absolute control over them: "Don't toss the two of you, I'm not so squeamish." ”

Shaking off Zhao Zhi's hand, Jiang Tian stood up and did a few chest expansion exercises, and then grabbed a thick magnetic wrist and poured a mouthful of water to rinse his mouth, the water in the bowl was salted, which was also a habit he had, but today's salt water was a little different, and he could clearly feel that there was sand in the water.

"Puff, poof, poof......" used several bowls of water in a row to rinse the sand in his mouth: "Don't we have any refined salt at home?" ”

Xi Yun looked at him in embarrassment: "The refined salt at home has been used up yesterday, and I haven't bought it today, but I heard that the price of refined salt in Beijing is very expensive these days." ”

"Lack of salt?" This is really a strange thing, three hundred miles away is the Bohai Sea, and the Changlu Salt Farm is also the salt production center of North China in this time and space, and it is impossible to make the capital lack refined salt in any case, right?

Zhao Zhiyi heard the spirit: "Sir, I know, yesterday I heard a lot of tea customers say that a few days ago, the envoys of the East China Sea Wa Kingdom and some of the Mongolian Guishun tribes came to Beijing together and bought a lot of things, and this refined salt is also the most bought by the Mongolians!" ”

This explanation is quite reasonable, in the past, the official trade between the Ming Dynasty and Japan and the grassland was cut off, and it has always been through guò smuggling to maintain trade contacts, for example, the Zheng family in Fujian is the largest smuggler in Japan, but Fujian itself is short of salt, and the Zheng family has to buy other people's salt for their own salt, and it is impossible to sell large quantities of refined salt to them, even if it is not cost-effective. Not to mention Mongolia, the most valuable goods on the steppe, in addition to iron, are salt and tea. A few years ago, because of the war, maybe they could buy some looted thieves from the Jurchens, but now that Dolgon himself is homeless and the border is blocked, where can they go to buy the Central Plains? The so-called Guishun tribe is probably the kind of small tribe that can't stand up and guards our relatively close. All they have to do is get things out of the border, and that's hard currency.

Thinking of this, Jiang Tian shook his head and muttered involuntarily: "With the size of my China, compared with the world's purchase market, it can only be regarded as a lack of materials." Productivity......"

Those two people didn't know what he was talking about, but fortunately, this person was different, and it was normal to say something that people couldn't understand.

"Sir." Seeing that Jiang Tian had finished washing, Zhao Zhi walked over and asked, "A few days after you were away, two students asked when you would come back to resume classes, I wonder if they will come today." ”

Jiang Tian thought about it, there was nothing else to do anyway, no matter who would come to receive him, but who would be such a studious student? He seemed to remember the two figures, but they were so keen to come here to teach classes, probably because what they taught was unexpected. The teahouse in the morning was still so deserted, and Boss Zhao still looked like an old monk and went to the counter, this was the beginning of his day, Jiang Tian sometimes thought, you said that this old man stays like this every day, don't you feel that life is very boring? In fact, how did he know that watching Jiang Tian jump up and down like this was more enjoyable than watching a play.

Sure enough, they didn't wait long, the fake prince brothers walked into the store, Wu Yuan and Huan'er were still so glamorous, don't look at the two men, and one was a child about the same age as Zhao Zhi, but they just stopped here, and the bearing exuded by their bodies was so different, which was something that Tian Xuhai couldn't do.

Before the other party could speak, Jiang Tian laughed first: "Sure enough, it's you!" ”

As soon as Wu Yuan heard it, he knew that Zhao Zhi had passed the message: "Let Mr. wait for a long time, my brothers and sisters want to congratulate Mr. first." ”

Jiang Tian waved his hand: "Daoxi doesn't have to be, I already told Brother Yijian yesterday, I don't want to be this official!" ”

The fake prince was stunned when he heard this, but immediately said respectfully: "Mr. is really extraordinary, everyone in the world is chasing fame and fortune, but you are unmoved." ”

"Don't talk about flattery, since you are here today, we don't have to judge each other as teachers and students, but I don't know what else you want to learn?" Regarding the motivation of these two people's learning, Jiang Tian was puzzled.

Wu Yuan, who asked this question, couldn't answer it a little, how did it sound like the Bodhi Ancestor asked Sun Monkey: "What kind of supernatural power do you want to learn?" ”

Although Wu Yuan's title is not high, it is not the kind of family that has risen through merit, his father won the title of Earl of Shunyi entirely because he took a good wife, Wu Yuan's mother is the godsister of the current emperor, and he was also a well-known Qingqi person in the Jiangnan Qinglou back then, but because he was young and was like a sister to the later queen, he was recognized as a righteous sister. Speaking of which, his title of the fake prince is also related to this, who has been appreciated by His Majesty since he was a child, and often takes him with him for guidance, in the eyes of those who care, isn't it just an illegitimate child who is alive and well. It is also because of this that his news channels are quite extensive, and he knew early on that Jiang Tian helped the Song family get the telescope, and was jointly elected as a foreigner by the three families. It can be said that his understanding of Jiang Tian's ability is not inferior to Song Yi.

"But by sir."

This answer is absolutely a panacea, Jiang Tian swept his scalp very unimagedly, anyway, it's strange that he doesn't itch his scalp every day when he combs his hair in a bun: "Can you be a good musician?" ”

Now Wu Yuan muttered in his heart again, he knew that Jiang Tian had made a flute song with a unique and euphemistic style, could it be that he planned to teach music today?

"This ...... I don't dare to say that I am proficient, but there will be some rough and shallow tunes. ”

Jiang Tian nodded, you are a child of a poetry and book heirloom at first glance, wouldn't it be a shame if you don't know how to order music, unlike a cultural person like yourself who is a halfway monk, and has no special skills except for endorsement: "Okay, I have something I want to trouble you for a favor today." ”

Originally, he was still worried about whether to go to the Red Mansion in person, but the result was that the two brothers were very understanding and came to be this recorder, although they didn't know what the fake prince's musical skills were, but at least it was much higher than Jiang Tian himself, and it should be a piece of cake to record a score or something. So it was dictated by Jiang Tian, and Wu Yuan began to record. As for the question of whether the tune is accurate, Jiang Tian didn't think about it at all, anyway, the ancient five-tone recording method can't accurately reproduce the original, looking at Gong Shangjiao Zhengyu, he can only know which string to play, as for the rhythm and rhyme, it completely depends on the player's own perception and interpretation.

"This tune ......" Wu Yuan pondered for a moment: "It seems to be a minor tune in Jiangnan, right?" ”

Yo! I met someone who knew how to do it. Jiang Tian thought to himself, it seems that you seem to be more professional than Tian Xuhai: "That's right, this song is indeed born in Jiangnan Minor, this was originally asked by the girls who leaned on the Red Mansion opposite me to do it, saying that it was for the queen's birthday celebration." I think that since the mother of the country has lived in the south of the Yangtze River for a long time, she must not be able to look at the various folk slang songs in the capital, and the official set may not be new, so it is better to choose a song from the water town and change it slightly! ”

Don't look at the lack of live performance, in fact, with Wu Yuan's ability, he already feels that this piece is extraordinary, and Jiang Tian's analysis is extremely correct, the queen is indeed because after staying in the Forbidden City, she has lived a very different life from before, her words and deeds have been recorded, I want to listen to the opera, except for the slow Kunqu Opera, there are few people who can understand, the usual entertainment activities are indeed lackluster, this time the emperor is rare to get permission, take the opportunity to celebrate his birthday to engage in such an event, if he still sings those northern local operas, How can Queen Bo smile? It is also the original talents of the sect in the capital who withered, otherwise even in this northern wealthy aristocratic family, most of them raised some excellent people, how could they not hear Wu Nong's soft words in the south of the Yangtze River.

A simple song with lyrics, it didn't take long to compose in total, Jiang Tian picked up the paper and blew the ink: "The ink treasure of the virtuous brother is really extraordinary, the pen is vigorous and the characters are divine, although it is a regular script, it has its own charm, which is rare and rare." ”

This is not flattery, after all, the original Jiang Tian is also a serious reader, the quality of calligraphy can still be distinguished, don't look at the handwriting in front of you can not say that there is a demeanor, but after all, Wu Yuan is only seventeen or eight years old, this age has this kind of skill, if you sharpen it for a few more years, maybe it is the first calligrapher of the new dynasty.

Jiang Tian put away the score, and then beckoned Zhao Zhi over: "You send it to the opposite door, tell them not to get the song if you don't give them a bag of fine salt." ”

The silly boy didn't think about it at first, but soon understood that this was a disguised benefit for himself, so he didn't bother to think about it, and ran out with the paper scattering girl.

"Sir, it's really ......" Wu Yuan didn't find an adjective for a while.

Jiang Tian smiled and waved his hand: "Where, where, my song is not valuable, but maybe this draft will be worth a fortune in a few decades, and when the time comes, if I ask for a painting of ink treasure, don't turn it away!" ”

It may be that I have heard a lot of this kind of touting, so Wu Yuan didn't have much reaction, and Xi Yun, who had been hiding aside, realized that she hadn't served tea to others, so she hurriedly brought three cups of tea over with a tray: "Son, please use it!" ”

Originally, there was a fake prince who was talking and laughing, and hurriedly stood up and thanked him: "There is Miss Lao!" ”

Jiang Tian looked at him a little puzzled, this person is too polite, right? Although I have already announced to the public that Xiyun has become my sister-in-law, you don't have to get up to thank you for a cup of tea. But looking at this kid's eyes again, he obviously glanced at Xi Yun a few more times, and said in his heart that you won't fall in love with this girl? I'm not against free love, but where does Xiyun attract you? Could it be that you are a beauty who has seen too much and is a little aesthetically fatigued, so you have to change your taste? Even if you really love each other. But this year, with your family background, can you treat a girl from such a humble background as Xiyun?

Wu Yuan didn't know that Jiang Tian had thought about so many bloody plots in an instant, but he also realized that he was a little out of shape, and hurriedly straightened his posture and still stood there and arched his hand towards Jiang Tian: "Mr. is admired for his erudition, and I want to stop this lecture, the students have something to know, and the various kinds of knowledge taught by Mr. seem to be different, but there is a vague connection, but the students have not been able to grasp the essentials." ”

This is a smart person, don't look at Jiang Tian's broken words, it is completely a fool of seeing the tricks, but in the eyes of this smart man, he has grasped the key point, in the 21st century, everyone knows that science is completely an organic whole, and the boundaries of modern disciplines are gradually blurred until many studies are interdisciplinary, but for the ancients, this can be observed, and it is definitely a talented and intelligent anomaly.

"The study of the application of things, to put it bluntly, is the principle of the operation of heaven and earth, complementing each other, it is originally you have me and I have you, but we haven't figured out many things yet, so it seems to be intermittent and disorganized."

"What the gentleman said is reasonable." Wu Yuan didn't know whether to answer this sincerely or politely: "What is that gentleman going to teach today?" ”

Just as Jiang Tian was pondering how to answer him, Zhao Zhi ran back to the store again, but his hands were empty. It's just that my little face is a little red, and I don't know if I'm tired from running around.

"They took it?"

"Take it!"

"What about the salt?"

"Didn't give it!"

Jiang Tian put his hand on his forehead and made a painful expression: "You are real, so what else did they say." ”

Zhao Zhi also felt a little embarrassed: "They said that there is a shortage of refined salt in the capital, and the salt in the kitchen must be reserved for entertaining guests at night, and it cannot be given to people casually." ”

Jiang Tian also saw that things were not so simple, how could the clever Zhao Zhi let people just send it out, it was very abnormal to see him twisting, but it may be the first time this kid went to that kind of place, and he was a little too nervous psychologically.

"Alas......" Jiang Tian decided not to pursue it first, he asked Wu Yuan instead: "Brother Xian must know that if you want to live today, you want to lack military funds back then, and it is by selling refined salt in exchange for silver taels that you can stabilize the most difficult years." ”

Wu Yuan nodded.

"The method of making coarse salt into refined salt has always been a secret of salt merchants, so today I will let you see how coarse salt becomes refined salt, which is the last lesson for you to graduate."
