"The second light, milk. Room sign, three crispy soups. ”

"The third lamp, sheep tongue stick, budding belly dizziness."

The dishes that accompany the sake are refreshing meat, which is an excellent appetizer, and the wine is also soft rice wine, and in this era, even if it is a martial artist, few people like to drink strong shochu, which is too spicy and not very suitable for the nobles.

Only an old drunkard like Liu Yi likes to drink the kind of throat-burning soju, maybe the reason why the wine is strong and easy to get drunk.

Xu Zi tasted the wine slowly, the wine was soft and mellow, and sugar was added, which made him a little unaccustomed, after all, before the crossing, he was either drinking wine or beer and white wine, this kind of sweetened rice wine, it felt weird to drink.

Sheep tongue skewer is a roasted lamb tongue, with some side dishes, with a skewer circle, cut into different shapes, this kind of skewer dish in the Great Wei appeared as soon as it was all the rage, it is said that it is now very popular in Japan, the Japanese people like to use skewers to roll up seaweed and rice, called sushi, in turn in the Fujian area is popular, after all, food has no borders, as long as it is delicious, some people will follow suit.

"The fourth, stewed duck palm stick, quail soup."

"The fifth, belly kernel stew, mandarin duck fryer."

Everyone talked and talked, they were all wearing simple arrow robes, because they were kneeling and drinking, everyone was wearing brand-new long white socks, and they must have washed their feet before coming, otherwise they would smell a strong foot odor at the banquet, but it would be difficult for people to swallow.

After a few glasses of wine, most of them were young people, and everyone was dissolute, and began to shout and persuade them to drink.

After the uprising, Yao Pingzhong jumped up, made people take the sword, and danced a sword dance in public.

Xu Zixian also looked at it with great attention, this is not the kind of soft dance performed by dancers in later generations, the master of the gate, even if it is a performance, it is also a dense sword move, without revealing the slightest flaw, and the two young men dance against each other, and they can also see the obvious difference in style.

The seed is dense and thorough, like a river rushing, forever cut off.

Yao Pingzhong is wide open and closed, and when he dances, there are also murderous opportunities revealed.

Everyone applauded, and when Xu Xingwei was happy, he whispered to Xu Zixian: "It's still such a martial arts gathering, which is more in line with my appetite, when I was in Fuzhou, Xu Zixian's elegant collection was the first, but in fact, my boss was impatient." ”

Xu Zixian smiled dumbly and said to Xu Xingwei: "Brother Zizhang has suffered...... When I go back to Fujian, I will also hold an elegant gathering, but I only talk about the art of war, swordsmanship, bows and arrows, and each issue should be copied according to the imperial court's mansion to make a strategy, will Brother Zhang participate? ”

"Brother Fool who dances with knives and guns likes it very much, and he has a strategy for each issue, and he scratches his head a little."

"If you have to feel something, you can hand it in if you don't feel anything. The punishment is a first-class table, and it doesn't hurt. ”

Xu Zixian really had a plan in this matter, and through the performance of Chongji and Yao Pingzhong, Xu Zixian felt the potential of the Jiangmen family.

Fujian Road and the adjacent Liangzhejiang Road, Jingnan and Jingbei, as well as Liangguang, also have some Jiangmen families.

Not necessarily as good as the Northwest Family, but as long as you get the name of Yaji, there will definitely be quite outstanding talents coming.

Xu Ziwen's elegant gathering, someone rushed from Jiangling to participate, in order to participate in the world's top elegant gathering, to make a name for himself.

If you can hold a party that is comparable to it, or still wins, it will have a very good effect on the recruitment of talents.

"Of course I'm going to participate." Xu Xingwei looked at Wei Yi on the side and said, "Yanke also participated." ”

"Brother Zizhang is too arbitrary." Wei Yi expressed dissatisfaction.

"You still say?" Xu Xingwei said with a smile: "Don't you want to please Mingda?" ”

Wei Yi and Xiaomei's marriage, as long as the list of jinshi comes, they can be decided when they return to Fuzhou.

Both parties are willing, and so are the two parties, of course, a match made in heaven.

It's just that Wei Yi's fame can't come down, and this marriage is a little incompatible.

If it was Xu Zixian last year, this marriage would be considered a good match, with the current Xu Zixian's powerful position, I think it would also be the Wei family's high climbing, a Jinshi arrived at the family background, if there was no Jinshi, it would be too far away.

Wei Yi's thoughts in the past two days are not belonging, and he is mainly in a daze at the banquet, but he is not in suspense.

There was a commotion downstairs, and more guests arrived.

"It's four more, and there's still one more time to release the list." Someone shouted, "The same year as today's meeting can all go to high school." ”

There was a burst of laughter, and then there was a sound of dragging tables and chairs, obviously all of them were here, and they all made an appointment to come to the Feiyan Building not far from Donghua Gate, waiting for the list of Kejinshi to be passed out.

Among the restaurants along Suzaku Street, there are also various inns, and it is inevitable that many people will stay up all night.

Once the title of the gold list, the world knows it, this is not a lie, the list of Jinshi will be compiled into a book, recorded in the archives of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials, and at the same time circulated through the Di copy.

The behavior of the imperial examination people, including the three generations of ancestors, their names, places of origin, and physical characteristics, will be transmitted to the world in the form of pamphlets.

In the books of gentlemen from all walks of life, once you win the Jinshi, you will have the capital to be in it, otherwise, even if you pass the liberation test and pass the lift, you are still poor, and you can't get on the stage, no matter how good the poem is written, no matter how famous it is, you will always be a "celebrity", and as long as you win the Jinshi, as long as you are not chased and banned from destroying the words since you were born, you will be an official in this life, and you will be "Jinkun".

In addition to the false name, there are practical benefits, such as generous benefits and generous treatment, and many practical benefits will come one after another.

Exempt from personal duties, free from land endowments, political and legal privileges, integrated into the bureaucratic collective, the family became a family of gentlemen, and was no longer suffering from miscellaneous taxes and servitude.

Except for those who were originally from official and gentry families, most of them hope to change the fate of themselves and their families through the exam.

It is not easy for a scholar from a poor family to get to the point where he is now.

No one wants to study hard for another three years, take the exam again, and take the Beijing exam again.

Every time I come out after the exam, I have to rest for a day or two to come back to my senses, and that kind of exhaustion is no easier than picking a few hundred catties of wheat and walking on the mountain road.

"Brother among people?" Someone downstairs continued: "Divine thoughts don't belong, are you still studying your agronomy these days?" ”

"No, the famous peasant nerd." Someone continued: "Chen Renzhong has been going through all the bookstores in Beijing in the past few days, and he has bought a lot of agricultural books, so it seems that he is really interested in this." ”

Someone laughed and said: "If the brother of the people can be selected and become the official of one of the parents, then the people of the place are blessed, at least they can collect an extra three or five buckets per mu." ”

Everyone laughed, the system of the Great Wei is that the older you are, the more you can only serve as a miscellaneous official in the examination, and the future is not great, so it is quite rare to go to Beijing for the examination after the age of forty.

There is no big future, and if you pay too much, of course, there will be fewer people who can persevere.

The imperial court is mainly to cultivate talents for the country, rather than hoping that a bunch of middle-aged and elderly people will spend their lives in the pile of books for the sake of wealth and nobility, so the knowledge in the pile of paper is limited, which is Taizu's original words.

Most of the people who take the entrance examination in Beijing are in the prime of their twenties and thirties, and ordinary people like Chen Zuocai have taken the exam once in their twenties, at most two or three times, and then give up and not take the exam.

The young man spoke directly, and everyone was obviously joking at the man named Chen Renzhong, Xu Zi didn't care too much about it at first, and when he turned his head to look, he saw Fang Shaoqun behind him listening attentively.

The man named Chen Renzhong said in a deep voice: "If you can really ask the people under your rule to collect more food, then it is really a great good government." To tell you not to hide from you, I have seen a lot of doctrines that have been applied by the world. All matters such as public security, punishment, fame and education, and money valley, now local governance is based on wealth and endowment. If there is a lot of wealth, the evaluation is superior, and everything else is fake. Because the imperial court wants to raise soldiers, but in the next opinion, foot soldiers must also have enough food. The wealth was used by the imperial court to raise soldiers, but the local people had no food and clothing...... Under is the Jingnan Chenzhou people, our Jingnan people are famous for plowing the fields during the day and being thieves at night, to be honest, Chenzhou does have many thieves. However, if it were not for the lack of food and clothing, and the heavy taxes, would the people be willing to steal? The number of people in Chenzhou last year was 741, and only a few dozen people reported to the Criminal Division, and the country opened more than 3,000 people every year. That is, after the arrest of the thief, he was tortured and killed on the spot, and according to the Great Wei Law, the robbery case was not reported, that is, the local government could be tortured and killed on the spot after the theft was arrested, and there was no need to report it to the Criminal Division. All the way to Jinghu South Road, thousands of bandits are killed in a year, but the thieves are killing more and more, so why do they come? The people are so miserable! If everyone has enough food and clothing, why risk the danger of being a thief? Therefore, if we put more effort into agricultural affairs, we can get a few families to collect more grain, and a few less thieves who have been killed by a large number of people, and we think that we are good governance. As for whether the evaluation is up or down, it's not so concerning......"

There was silence all around, and Xu Zixian was also a little moved.

Among the examples, there are actually such characters, which make people admire their character and personality from the heart.

Moreover, it is useless to say that it is useless, this Chen is called a peasant nerd, and it seems that he has really worked hard on the affairs of agricultural politics, and if he really has achieved something, he is a great agronomist.

"This poor measure is ......," Yao Pingzhong also praised: "It's a person with a heart, if it weren't for their crowd of people, I would have invited him to come up and drink two glasses of wine." ”

"There will be a chance." Xu Zi said with a smile first, then glanced at Fang Shaoqun, and then at Chen Zuocai, Chen Zuocai realized, slowly got up from the back seat, and went downstairs.

"Sixth, pangasius belly, fried pangasius soup."

"The seventh, fried eel, goose paw stew."

"The eighth, stuffed crab, milk, fang jade soup."

"The ninth, fresh shrimp and sheep's trotters, fried in the south."

"Tenth, hand-washed crabs, crucian carp soup clams."

Each one is served with a fresh hot dish or soup, which is excellent with wine, and people drink slowly, chat, or dance to cheer up, and do not call courtesans, but they are also happy.
