Chapter 1098: The House of Emeralds

Not long after, Pan Liao and Du You came to Guo Song's official room together, and Pan Liao smiled and said, "Is Your Highness worried about the Central Plains battlefield?" ”

Guo Song shook his head and smiled: "I can't pay attention to the Central Plains battlefield all the time, please come over to discuss other things, please sit down!" ”

Pan Liao and Du You sat down, and a tea boy served them tea, Guo Song said with a smile: "I invited the two of you here today to discuss the establishment of the Hongwen Pavilion. ”

Hongwen Hall is a library affiliated to the East Palace, and it is also a school to teach the children of the nobility to read, Guo Song naturally wants his son to continue his studies in the Hongwen Hall, after the end of the imperial examination, the work of the newspaper should also come to an end, he should learn to deal with government affairs, and at the same time study in the Hongwen Hall, of course, there will be other students in the Hongwen Hall. ‘

Du You raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Weichen thinks that the Hongwen Pavilion is an old system, and it does not need the approval of the political hall to be established, His Royal Highness can establish it at any time, and the books and venues are ready-made, as long as you find a suitable hall owner and a few bachelors, the Hongwen Pavilion can be operational, and you can also select a group of school scholars from this year's imperial examination." ”

Guo Song had a suitable candidate in his heart, and he smiled: "Last time, Han Yun recommended his judge to me, praising this person for his profound knowledge and integrity, what do the two Xiangguo think?" ”

Pan Liao knew King Jin very well, he asked himself like this, in fact, he had already decided, Pan Liao didn't want to worry about this kind of trivial matter with King Jin, so he asked with a smile: "Where is this situation now?" ”

"I know!"

Du You said with a smile: "He followed Han Gong to Chang'an last year, and now he is a doctor of Guozixue, this person has an outstanding reputation for poetry, and he has a very high status in the Jiangnan literary circle, second only to Han Yun, and his character is indeed more upright. ”

Pan Liao nodded and said: "The master of the Hongwen Pavilion is at the same level as the prince's left and right Yude, and belongs to the four grades, His Royal Highness has the right to appoint him directly, without consulting through the Political Affairs Hall, and the Pavilion and several scholars can be appointed by the Political Affairs Hall." ”

"This matter has been decided, and besides, after the end of this imperial examination, I plan to let him come to the political hall every afternoon to participate in the audit, there should be no problem, right?"

Pan Liao and Du You were overjoyed, the King of Jin was finally willing to hand over the prince to them, this suggestion was put forward after Li Mi's death, Pan Liao put forward, but Guo Song thought it was too early, so he did not agree, and now Guo Song decided to let his son end the matter of the newspaper and transfer to the political hall to study, and at the same time enter the Hongwen Hall to study.

With Guo Song's identity, of course, he will not transfer Xiao Zhenye to other places as an official, he will not deal with a petty official, but let his son change his living environment, so that Xiao Zhenye will not be able to contact him in the future, this can be done.

"No problem at all!"

Pan Liao immediately said: "Weichen will arrange it, please rest assured Your Highness!" ”

........

In the afternoon, Guo Jincheng, Xue Qing and Bai Juyi took an ox cart to Xi'an Gate Outer Street, Xue Qing didn't want to come, but he was also very interested in glass windows, so he also came.

When the three of them passed by the newspaper hall, Bai Juyi looked at the newspaper hall and sighed for a long time, and couldn't help but say: "If I can work in the newspaper hall, I don't want to take any imperial examinations." ”

Guo Jincheng rolled his eyes, "The newspaper is just recruiting new people, I originally wanted to introduce you, but if you say this, I won't dare, what if your mother blames me for missing your future?" ”

Bai Juyi was overjoyed, and hurriedly said, "Brother Xian will introduce it to me!" I will still participate in the imperial examination, and I will never be delayed. ”

Guo Jincheng nodded, "Let's talk about it after the imperial examination is over!" ”

"Then we are determined to make up our minds, and we are not allowed to coax me?"

Guo Jincheng pointed at Bai Juyi and smiled at Xue Qing: "Look at this person, there is no word of thanks, and he is afraid that I will coax him, you say that I am such a good person, why bother?" ”

Xue Qing smiled slightly: "I think Brother Bai is ready to invite you to drink at night!" ”

Bai Juyi laughed, "I won't be fooled, now that I'm strapped for cash, I'm going to eat free radish and grass cabbage rice in the evening!" ”

Guo Jincheng shook his head and smiled: "What do you say so pitifully, if you want me to have a treat, just say it." ”

"Always be polite!"

Bai Juyi patted Guo Jincheng on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "I've troubled you in the past few days, and when the newspaper sends out the money, I'll invite you back!" ”

This person, who didn't even have a word when he entered the newspaper hall, had already thought about how to use it.

.........

The glass house is Guo Jincheng's aunt Guo Ping investment to do, located in the East Third Road, covers an area of two acres, is a two-story arc-shaped house, the two floors are long arc-shaped corridors, a total of 60 windows are installed, now the output of glass is far from mentioned, at present only the Jin Palace, the political hall, the Jin Wang's official room and the Queen Mother's room installed glass windows.

Guo Ping decided to pull Zhang Lei and Li An to invest in making glass, and the three of them took out 6,000 yuan to establish a large workshop in Juxian County, which is rich in quartz sand, and invited several master craftsmen to make formulas for them.

Originally, Dongsan Road was relatively deserted, but now the glass house has been built, which makes Dongsan Road become lively, and the flow of people queuing up to visit is as long as three miles, and many people can't line up, so they stand outside and enjoy the glass windows, but they can't touch it with their hands, and they can't feel it intuitively.

There is only one passage in the queue, the front door enters and the back door exits, you can only visit the first floor, the second floor can't go up, the first floor is a long arc corridor, people can't stay, they can only look while walking.

But in fact, there is a VIP channel in the glass room, such as Xiang Guoshang and other high-ranking officials and family members come to visit, of course, there is no need to queue, if you are willing to spend ten times to buy a ticket, you don't have to queue up, you can go directly to the second floor to visit, but since the first floor is free, there are not many people who are willing to spend ten times to go to the second floor to visit, except for the officials and family members who hold VIP tickets, as well as rich businessmen who have huge family assets and do not pay ten times for money, they are willing to spend money to go to the second floor to see slowly.

Guo Jincheng asked the two to wait in front of the Meishou wine shop, and he went in to ask his aunt for a ticket.

Bai Juyi was a little surprised, he asked Xue Qingdao: "Xiao Xue knows the proprietor of Meishou Wine Shop?" ”

Xue Qing couldn't say it clearly, so he had to smile and said: "He is the writer of the people's livelihood column of "Chang'an Express", and he knows a lot of people, so he should be very familiar with the owner of Meishou Wine Shop!" ”

At this time, I saw Guo Jincheng running out, chasing a middle-aged woman from behind, grabbing Guo Jincheng, and forcing two ingots of yellow and clear gold into his arms, Bai Juyi was dumbfounded, is there such a benefit in entering the newspaper hall?

However, Bai Juyi immediately heard Guo Jincheng shouting the middle-aged woman's aunt, and he reacted at this time, they are aunts and nephews, of course they will give money, how can they stuff gold casually.

Bai Juyi glared at Xue Qing fiercely, this kid actually lied to himself.

Xue Jincheng had no choice but to come back, he didn't see Xue Qing give him a look, and sighed and said: "Every time I see my aunt, she has to stuff money for me, as if I can't eat all day." ”

Xue Qing smiled bitterly, he couldn't explain it anymore, so he asked, "Did you get the ticket?" ”

Guo Jincheng took out three coupons and shook them, and said with a smug smile: "Three VIP coupons, let's go!" ”

With the VIP coupon, the three of them went directly to the second floor from the back door of the glass house, the second floor is also a long passage, with glass windows on both sides, the same as the first floor, supported by several huge columns in the middle, but contrary to the excitement and exclamations on the first floor, the second floor is very quiet, there are about twenty or thirty people, some are the whole family, and some are a few people who meet, all of them carefully observe and taste this new style of windows.

Guo Jincheng installed glass windows in his own home, he no longer had a sense of surprise, although Xue Qing was about to install it at home, he was still full of interest, looking at it carefully window by window, and Bai Juyi stood in front of the transparent glass window and was stunned, if it weren't for the word 'careful' written on the glass with an ink pen, he would really want to go out.

"Brother Bai, how do you feel?" Guo Jincheng slowly walked to Bai Juyi's side and asked with a smile.

"Cui Ning Bi Xun is colorless, how can the world come from the gem light!"

Bai Juyi gently stroked the glass and sighed: "This is the best gem, the essence of heaven and earth, but we use it to shelter from the wind and rain, it's too luxurious!" ”

Guo Jincheng smiled slightly: "This is actually a kind of glass, but the raw materials used are different, and it is burned to be colorless, if we like it, we can add various fuels in the firing process, and it will show a variety of gorgeous colors, which is really the same as a gem." ”

"It's big business!"

A tall and fat businessman next to him smiled and said: "Make it into all kinds of colorful beads, and take them to Nanyang and Dongying to sell them for a lot of money, Cheng'er, does your father have this idea?" ”
