I don't know why, Wu Ning saw a trace of tragedy in Wu Changlu's eyes.

This is a pure soldier, with the sadness of a veteran and the mind of a warrior.

Wu Ning and Wu Changlu are the closest, and one of the reasons why they like to chat with him is that Wu Ning always feels that Sibo has a kind of poet's temperament.

Although he has never seen a real poet, he should be like Sibo!

He always laughs and is always open-minded, but like a poet, under the ordinary appearance, there is often a hidden power, just like the words "smash the mansion" just now.

Once it erupts, it can be deafening, even if it doesn't make people shudder.

The only difference is that the poet's sentences can only be deafening between the pen and ink, while the poems of the fourth uncle are the sword for the pen and the battlefield for the ink, which must make people tremble.

It's just that this veteran is far away from the battlefield and can no longer write poetry.

......

——————————

"Fourth uncle, haven't you noticed that you look like a poet?"

It's a feeling, but it's more about easing the atmosphere.

"Poet?" Wu Changlu was really led astray by Wu Ning.

"The kind of sour sentence that writes?"

"Yes."

"!"

Wu Changlu stared at his cowbell-like eyes, twisted his black face like the bottom of a pot, and shook his long weed-like whiskers.

"Do you think your fourth uncle looks like a poet?"

"It's like everything."

"Fuck off!" Wu Changlu is happy.

"Alright, a bunch of things, I'm leaving."

While walking outside the courtyard, he said: "Sun Bo'an's affairs don't need to be taken to heart, even if he wants to trouble you, he doesn't dare to do it now." ”

"Why?"

"Humph! Why did Sun Hongde let his son study? Isn't it just to test a fame? ”

"Now the Wu brothers, plus a princess of Taiping, are gathered in Fangzhou, and even the literati of the whole Tang Dynasty are gathered in Fangzhou, why?"

"You don't need the fourth uncle to teach you anymore, right?"

"No, you don't." Wu Ning understood in an instant.

Thinking about it like this, Sun Boan really didn't dare. Because Datang wants to test his fame, it is different from the later Song, Ming and Qing dynasties.

Since the Northern Song Dynasty, the imperial examination system has been quite perfect, as long as you have real skills, you don't have to think about anything else.

However, Datang can't.

The imperial examination of the Tang Dynasty belongs to the beginning, and it is not necessarily possible to have the ability, you have to have good connections.

What kind of network?

The king will be reluctant to be reluctant; The royal family and nobles basically passed.

The imperial examination did give the common people the opportunity to be promoted, but after all, there are still a few scholars from poor families who do not rely on relationships, and if they come out, they must be written into the history books as propaganda materials.

Second, in fact, the original intention of the imperial examination was not to give the people a channel for promotion, once it came out, it had its specific historical mission and specific political significance, which was born by the imperial power in order to combat the monopoly of politics by the Wei and Jin families.

The famous seven surnames and ten families have been continuously suppressed since Tang Taizong, but until now, they are still a political force that cannot be ignored.

So in order to weaken the influence of the family, and in order to prevent the talents selected by the imperial examination from falling into the family group, the only way out for the imperial power is to cheat in the imperial examination.

On the surface, the saying is, "recommendation".

Scholars need all kinds of connections to recommend you, so that you can pass the exam and enter the court.

As a result, "paying respects" has become the most important pre-exam activity for literati in this era.

Li Baishu didn't read it for a few years, but he had a relationship for decades before the exam;

Bai Ju is easy to live, and when he enters Beijing, he has found the right door, not only has the Ming Jing been stable, but also the Jinshi is also handy.

When Princess Taiping was the best, not only would the people she recommended be able to pass the exam, but she also arranged even the top three.

And Meng Haoran was a little unlucky, and after a lifetime of worship, he didn't find the right way. Therefore, even though the poem is famous all over the world, he has never been an official in his life.

In the present, recommendations, in a sense, are more important than reading good books.

And the royal relatives and nobles who can be recommended, there are exactly three of the heaviest ones out of Beijing, and they will go to Fangzhou immediately, which is no wonder that the literati of the Tang Dynasty have gathered in Fangzhou.

And Sun Bo'an is too late to pick up his tail and pretend to be a good baby at this juncture, how can he dare to make extraneous branches and come to Wu Ning for trouble?

"The fourth uncle said this earlier, I won't be at ease!"

Wu Ning immediately made up his mind, "Don't go, let's get some good ones for the fourth uncle, let you have a few bowls of drink, and there is something to discuss with the fourth uncle." ”

"!" Wu Changzhong pursed his lips, "The radishes in the field have not been confiscated, how can you have the heart to eat wine?" ”

Wu Ning rolled his eyes after hearing this, hehe, the No. 2 person in Fangzhou even has to worry about the radish by himself?

"Then don't go, what I want to talk about is the summer harvest."

"Huh?"

Wu Changlu furrowed his brows, "What's the matter with the summer harvest?" ”

"Let me tell you, keep your inn well."

Scanning around, I really didn't expect this small courtyard to be elegant, "You don't have to worry about other things!" ”

"I can't do it if I don't worry about it." Wu Ning joked, "Otherwise, even if you take it back, the fourth uncle will not be able to sell it on the street by himself?" ”

"Ugh." Wu Changlu was embarrassed.

The No. 2 person in Fangzhou went to the street to sell radishes...... The picture is a little unthinkable.

In the summer and autumn harvest of previous years, in fact, Wu Changlu didn't have much time, they were all fifth brothers, and Wu Ning and his juniors helped to harvest and sell.

But not this year, Wu Ning has his own livelihood, and the charcoal kiln on the side of Wubo and Zujun will also have a lot of things to do this summer. The big radish in that place, Wu Changlu was really a little stunned.

"How? You have a market. ”

Wu Ning nodded, "I have some ideas, I just want to discuss it with the fourth uncle, the fifth uncle, and Zujun." ”

“......”

After hesitating for a moment, Wu Changlu finally nodded, "Okay, then eat you a good meal!" ”

......

"Gotcha!"

Wu Ning responded and beckoned Wu Li, as well as Wu Qi and them to go down to the kitchen.

The ingredients are all ready-made, and after a while, a large table of delicious food has been purchased.

Let Huzi go to the kiln to call Zu Jun and the fifth uncle back for dinner, and ask Wu Li to call the sixth uncle, the seventh brother, and the eleventh brother over as well.

After a while, a group of people gathered around a large table of good food and cups to change cups.

......

Only Zujun was a little unhappy, and he wanted to teach Wu Ning a lesson.

"At noon, what kind of table will you set up? Do you have a lot of money? ”

Wu Ning didn't want to quarrel with the old man, so he laughed and said, "Isn't there something wrong?" ”

"What's the matter?"

"The turnips in the field."

Wu Ning took the opportunity to look at everyone. "We've planted turnips in our vegetable fields this summer, right?"

Everyone nodded, what else can be planted in the summer harvest? It's not a turnip, it's a cranberry.

The main thing is that the radish is stored for a long time, and it can be put until after the winter and eaten as a winter storage vegetable.

Although the longer you put it, the more chaff it will be, and it is best to plant it in autumn, and it will be winter as soon as it is harvested. However, you can't always be willing to carrots and cranberries in winter, right?

Therefore, everyone grows radishes in the summer, and grows some green leafy vegetables such as spinach and woad in the autumn.

At that time, the weather is cool, and it can also be left for half winter.

"Most of the radishes planted in the water this summer."

"That's great!" Wu Ning Dale, "Move to my house and store vegetables in the cellar!" ”

"Huh?"

Everyone even forgot to eat and looked at Wu Ning in a daze.

"Just find a shady place and put it away, don't you have to go so far?"

"No trouble." Wu Ning tried his best to persuade.

"Our vegetable cellar is the coolest, and when you look at it in the last autumn, you can make sure that it is as fresh as now."

“......”

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, my heart is at the bottom.

This vegetable cellar was dug with the help of everyone, and Wu Ning said at the beginning that everyone who helped had a share, and several families used it together.

At that time, everyone didn't go to their hearts, but at this time, everyone was a little uncertain.

Will it work? Don't put it inside and it's all rotten.

......

And Wu Changlu looked even more sluggish, "Jiulang, your fourth uncle has seven or eight acres of land, and more than 1,000 catties of radishes, all of which are stored in the vegetable cellar?" ”

"That's right." Wu Ning nodded.

"Make sure you sell it for a good price before winter!"

......
