Yongle Fang's blog stack is not bad, it is a big inn, well-equipped, thoughtful service, clean and hygienic, its upper room price is 100 Wen per day, but give the scholars a discount, 80 Wen per day.

Xiao Zhenye and Xie Changming each asked for an upper room, and the two accompanying examiners shared a lower room, and the lower room between the two of them was thirty wen a day, including two meals, and the conditions were much worse, but after all, it was a big inn, and there was no such shop for five cents a night.

I have to say that Chang'an's sub-regional arrangement is very humane, and soon they got acquainted with five or six Jiangnan scholars, two Suzhou scholars, two Runzhou scholars, one Hangzhou scholar and one Yuezhou scholar, everyone has similar accents, living habits and eating habits are very similar, and more importantly, they are similar in age, and the six people quickly formed a small group and went to the world-famous Xi'anmen Street together.

.........

Early in the morning, before dawn, breakfast in the Jin Palace's mansion began, and everyone yawned and came out of their respective rooms and sat down in their seats.

Liu Caichun is used to dining with everyone, and she also has a fixed position, sitting opposite Minqiu, next to Guo Weiwei and on the other side is Xue Tao.

The Jin Dynasty attaches great importance to breakfast and dinner, because most of Guo Song is not in the house at noon, everyone eats relatively simply, the variety of breakfast is relatively rich, and the family implements buffet meals, and they take what they want to eat, and the share is relatively small to ensure that it is not wasted.

Liu Caichun was very restrained at first, so she ate a few things in front of her, a bowl of white porridge, a steamed cake, and a plate of side dishes.

She likes to eat vegetarian wontons and cheesecakes, and drink a small bowl of buttermilk, that is, milk, and fruits, Chang'an's famous Mourning pears are her favorite, Xue Tao discovered this, so Mourning pears appear on their dinner table every day.

In fact, the pear is also the most popular fruit in the Tang Dynasty, there are many famous pears in the world, there are more than a dozen kinds of Tang pear, red pear, Zhang pear, mountain pear, red pear and so on near Guanzhong, such as the mourning pear, the honey pear, the Zhang Gong pear and so on.

The largest pears such as Luoyang and Fengqi pears in the middle of the river have been recorded, and one of them weighs six catties.

At this time, Guo Song and Minqiu came over from the side aisle, and Minqiu's face was still flushed, which made Xue Tao secretly annoyed, why did he have sex early in the morning?

Guo Song sat down, Xue Tao took a few pieces of fried cakes from his plate, poured him a cup of buttermilk, and asked with a smile: "Husband is going out today?" “

"I'm going to Fengxian County today, so I'm just going to stay for one day, inspect the salt works over there, and then come back."

Xue Tao smiled again: "A cousin of Caichun this year is also going to participate in the imperial examination. ”

Liu Caichun's face turned red, and he hurriedly said: "I just told the princess casually, I don't mean anything else, Your Highness, don't misunderstand." ”

Guo Song said with a smile: "Today's candidates from Jiangnan are close to 10,000, since they are Miss Liu's cousin, it's not impossible to take care of them a little, if you can't pass the Jinshi and Mingjing, then Taixue and Guozixue can be admitted, this problem is not big, I'll just say hello when I go back." ”

Liu Caichun hurriedly shook his head, "It's better not to set this precedent, rely on his own talent to fight for it, it is his creation to pass the test, and he can't blame others if he doesn't pass the test." ”

"What interests your cousin?" Guo Song asked with a smile.

"He likes to grow tea, and his family has a tea garden in Suzhou."

Guo Song nodded, "Then let him go to Taixue to learn how to grow tea and make tea, with the guidance of a famous teacher, maybe he will be able to do a career in the future, without taking up the quota for the imperial examination, just pay for it himself, no one will say anything?" ”

Liu Caichun was overjoyed, "Then thank you, Your Highness!" ”

........

After breakfast, Guo Song set off for Fengxian County.

Before leaving, Guo Song ordered the Suzheng Tai Inspector to send Meng Jianchun to Hanzhong.

This is the first time after the seizure of Hanzhong that Guo Song ordered an investigation of the officialdom of Hanzhong Prefectures, this time mainly to inspect the four prefectures other than Liangzhou to understand the local situation, at the same time, the entourage of the inspector also went down to the counties to investigate, unqualified officials will be replaced, and officials who bend the law for bribes will also be severely punished.

Chang'an internal guard official office in the third floor of the east of the Jin Palace, occupies a whole building, there are more than 100 civil officials here to deal with all kinds of intelligence and official documents, they hang the sign called the Security Bureau, next to the Jin Palace's official office.

The number of internal guard soldiers has increased to 15,000, mainly distributed in Chang'an, Taiyuan, Shanxian, Zhangye, Dunhuang, Xiaye, Lingwu, Yunzhong and other important cities, and their main responsibility is to deal with the enemy's intelligence spies lurking in the city, which is the opposite of the Jin Wei Mansion.

There are 8,000 internal guard soldiers in Chang'an, and the garrison camp is located in the original Qianniuwei military camp outside the Chunming Gate, which is also very close to the Jin Palace.

In the morning, the commander Wang Yue was processing the paperwork in the official room, and a soldier reported at the door, "The commander of the Jin Wei Mansion Song has something important to ask to see." ”

"Invite him in!"

Song Tian, the deputy commander of the Jin Wei Mansion, who came in, was responsible for the collection of foreign intelligence, and he often dealt with the internal guards, but Guo Yuniang, the commander of the Jin Wei Mansion, rarely dealt with them, Guo Yuniang was mainly responsible for the personal security of high-ranking officials and their families, and there were hundreds of female guards with high martial arts under him, scattered in various high-ranking officials' mansions.

This is not surveillance, surveillance is that the official is not aware of the existence of the watcher, and protection is that the official is aware of her existence, and the two are essentially different.

Song Tian walked into the room, Wang Yue got up and smiled: "But you got the news again?" ”

Song Tian nodded, "This time it's about Li Wujun's intelligence." ”

Wang Yue's face was solemn, and he hurriedly said, "Please sit down and say!" ”

Li Wujun is currently the top priority of the Jin Dynasty's attention, after the Jin army captured Zhouzhou last year, it continued to send grain and grass materials to Zhouzhou, Li Wujun will not sit still, he will inevitably take various means to counteract, at the same time, the Jin Palace's Mansion has also strengthened the intelligence collection of Xindu.

Song Tian sat down, took out a tube of red pigeon letters and handed it to Wang Yue, "The urgent information sent from the letter has just been received, you can see for yourself!" ”

Wang Yue took the letterbox, poured out a small volume of information from it, and slowly unfolded the information to look at it carefully, he was taken aback, and the information said that Li Wujun was getting the formula of iron fire and thunder at all costs, and there had been some progress.

"What does it mean to make progress?" Wang Yue asked anxiously.

"Our people can't find out, this is the top secret of the other party, and we only know that this progress broke through in Chang'an."

Wang Yue pondered, he believed that it would not be the formula, except for King Jin, there were less than five people who knew the formula, these five people were all closely protected, or closely monitored, they all had extremely rich incomes to support their families, and it was impossible to risk death to sell the top secret.

In addition, there are two secrets are saltpeter purification technology and iron shell forging technology, these two secrets know a little more, but they also only know their own technical links, such as saltpeter, to go through three purification links, each purification link is completed by different people, and distributed in Zhangye, Taiyuan and Chang'an.

The iron shell forging technology is relatively simple, as long as you can master it many times, and you can master the iron shell technology, there is no progress, there is no strong gunpowder, the iron shell is a decoration.

Wang Yue couldn't think of what progress the other party would get, and he didn't have time to think about it anymore, he had to immediately find the spies that Li Wujun had planted in Chang'an.

In fact, Wang Yue mastered the spies of the Southern Tang Dynasty, Zhu Zhu's spies in Chang'an, and Zhu Tao and Tian Yue's spies in Chang'an, but he didn't know that Li Wujun and Li Na's spies in Chang'an, he once thought that maybe not, but the facts told him that the other party could not have spies.

"Do you have any clues about Li Wujun's spies in Chang'an?" Wang Yue asked.

Song Tian shook his head, "The person who provided us with the information doesn't know, but I don't think the power should be very big." ”

Wang Yue is really a bit big, this matter came too suddenly, but they don't have much time to track it down, in case the important technology of Iron Fire Thunder leaks out, it will be a big trouble.

Wang Yue paced back and forth in the room with his hands in his hands, pondering for a long time, but he didn't have a clue for a while, which made him anxious.

At this time, Song Tian reminded: "Li Wujun and Tian Yue used to have a very close relationship, and they also exchanged information, maybe ......."

This sentence was like a lamp suddenly lit in the dark night, which suddenly gave Wang Yue a glimmer of hope.
