With the gold medal in his arms, Yang Zheng walked out of the imperial city and walked towards Dugu Mansion excitedly, judging from Zhao Zhen's attitude, this matter is nine times out of ten, even if the proposer of his plan can't be the first leader because of qualifications, the second and third leaders will always give him a position, and the two teachers who are a pity are afraid that they will be disappointed, and he will not have much time to study with the two teachers in the future.

When I returned to Dugu Mansion, I was surprised to see a dusty carriage parked outside Dugu Mansion.

When I walked into the courtyard, I saw Dugu Xun and Jia Si Quanzheng accompanying an old man to drink tea in the courtyard, Ruyi and Dugu Mei were waiting, and next to Dugu Mei sat a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl with a beautiful face.

It's this girl who is in charge of ordering tea.

"Qinghe is back, this is Jiangnan Li Zongming, a friend of the teacher, this is Xiaoman, come and see it,"

Seeing Yang Zheng coming in, Dugu Xun happily introduced.

"I've seen Senior Li, Miss Xiaoman"

Yang Zheng bowed down and said.

"Haha, no courtesy, these two old noble old ghosts have been bragging to me about how good their closed disciples are, it's really good, this stone was obtained by the old man by chance, so he gave it to you," Li Zongming looked at Yang Zheng and said with a smile, took out a stone from his arms and handed it to Yang Zheng.

Yang Zheng looked at the bloodstone in Li Zongming's hand and hesitated, he knew that this stone was worth a lot no matter how good he was.

"Take it, this old ghost has a lot of stones", Dugu Xun next to him said indifferently.

"Thank you, senior," Yang Zheng took the stone at this time.

"Sit down and say, I haven't seen you for a few years, Xiao Man's craft is getting better and better, hurry up and try it!"

Jia Siquan said to Yang Zheng with a look of enjoyment in his cup.

Yang Zheng took the teacup handed to him by Xiao Man, looked at the coffee-like tea soup in the cup, and took a sip gently, a little astringent, more of the fragrance of tea, although he was still a little unaccustomed, but he could finally enter it.

"Good tea!"

Out of politeness, Yang Zheng still pretended to be satisfied and said.

I didn't think about it, and just after I finished speaking, I heard Li Xiaoman say softly with some unhappiness:

"Senior brother doesn't have to be so polite."

Yang Zheng didn't know how embarrassed he was with the teacup, thinking that this little girl was really sincere, and he was just polite.

"Qinghe doesn't like tea soup, Xiaoman, don't be surprised..."

Dugu Xun glared at Yang Zheng, and said to Li Xiaoman in a harmonious voice.

A few people gathered around the tea party to talk, and Yang Zheng knew that this Li Zongming was a famous arithmetic master, but unlike the literary masters of Jingyi poetry, even if he was an arithmetic master, he was still considered to be a sideshow and was not respected.

This time, Naisheng received invitations from the two to watch the ceremony, but it was delayed on the road, and he arrived in Kaifeng today.

"Brother Dugu and Brother Jia have been looking for a suitable disciple to close the door, and finally got what they wanted, and the old man has been looking for it, but he has been looking for it, and he has been looking for it.

After chatting for a while, Li Zongming sighed with the tea bowl.

"Daddy, my daughter said that if she doesn't marry, she will definitely pass on your mantle, why bother saying this..."

Li Xiaoman said helplessly.

"Nonsense, after all, my daughter's family still has to marry someone and be in harmony with the people, how can the marriage be delayed, not to mention that your eyes have been seriously damaged, Brother Wang has told you not to overuse it again, otherwise there is a possibility of blindness, how can you learn this way of arithmetic again!"

"Dad, I..."

Li Xiaoman pleaded in a low voice.

"This matter is over, even if the old man's arithmetic is broken, it can't compare to Xiao Man's eyes and lifelong happiness, and the old man still has time..."

Li Zongming said categorically to his daughter.

"Xiaoman, you can rest assured, there are countless famous doctors in Kaifeng Mansion, treat your eyes first, your father's arithmetic has its own fate," Jia Siquan said to Li Xiaoman in a harmonious voice.

Yang Zheng noticed that Li Xiaoman's eyes had a problem, and he was always used to squinting his eyes to look ahead, but his eyes were not small, and it was really not easy to find if he didn't pay attention.

"Alas, when we passed by Jiangning Mansion, we made a special trip to visit Brother Wang's mentor, Mr. Xu, and Mr. Xu bluntly said that this symptom is caused by the damage of the meridians caused by excessive use of the eyes, and the medicine stone is ineffective..."

"Old Xu has seen it, this..."

Dugu Xun and Jia Siquan glanced at each other, speechless for a while, this Xu Lao is a famous medical saint, especially good at this kind of nerve damage, he said that it can't be cured, it can't be cured.

"Daddy, the two uncles don't have to worry about the slave family, the slave family is fine," Li Xiaoman saw that the atmosphere was a little heavy, and said to everyone strongly, since a few years ago, she slowly found that her eyes were a little blurry when she looked ahead, and it became more and more serious, she was also at a loss, but after a long time, she slowly got used to it, although Xu Lao's words were cruel, but they also reassured her heart, as long as she used her eyes less, at least she would not become a blind person.

"Alas, Sister Xiaoman, don't learn any arithmetic, I've been learning martial arts with Sister Ruyi recently, why don't you come too", Dugu Mei on the side took Li Xiaoman's hand and encouraged.

"Nonsense, do you think Xiao Man is like you, restless all day long..."

Dugu Xun glared at Dugu Mei and scolded softly.

"Hehe, it's okay, it's rare to meet with two old friends, the old man has to be disturbed for a while, and Xiao Man has nothing to do with practicing martial arts to strengthen his body," Li Zongming said softly, as long as he finds something to do for his daughter, it doesn't matter if he practices martial arts or not.

"By the way, Qinghe, why did the official family summon you to the palace?"

Dugu Xun suddenly turned around and asked Yang Zheng, who had been sitting quietly.

"When the disciple was taking the test, he wrote an article about opening up a big island overseas to raise war horses, and the official family called me into the palace."

Yang Zheng said honestly.

"This is not a trivial matter, is it true?"

Dugu Xun asked solemnly.

Yang Zheng told the people sitting again what he had said in the palace, and the three girls were confused, but the more the three old men listened, the more solemn their faces became.

"The old man of Tamna Island has heard of it, and it is basically consistent with Qinghe's description, but this Ezo Island is only a messy record in some books in the former Tang Dynasty, and Qinghe is a little reckless", Jia Siquan pondered for a moment and said lightly.

"Brother Jia's words are wrong, such an important place, no matter what, you have to give it a try, I think Qinghe has done a good job", Li Zongming retorted.

There is a large horse breeding place like Jingdong East Road, as long as anyone with a little knowledge knows the importance.

"Don't worry, the disciple will make a thorough plan, even if it doesn't work, it's just a waste of money and food, and the disciple feels that there is a great possibility of success."

Yang Zhengzheng said to Jia Siquan.

Whether he can raise horses, Yang Zheng is still unsure, but Ezo Island must be there, even if he can't raise horses, the Great Song Dynasty has such an overseas base in the rear of the vast grassland, whether it is the current Khitan or the future Jin, it is a huge threat.

The three of them are all scholars, but they don't know anything about the concept of operating overseas bases, which is the limitation of the times, and Yang Zheng doesn't expect them to help, telling them that it's just a vaccination.

Li Zongming's father and daughter settled down in Dugu Mansion, but it was just a matter of many pairs of dishes and chopsticks, Ruyi often mixed with the two, and Yang Zhengze returned to Yangfu Xiyuan to start writing a plan.

The proposal is a difficult project, there are too many things to prepare, he must take into account all aspects, this plan is closely related to his future, and there is a detailed and feasible plan that can cover up his lack of qualifications to a certain extent.

In addition to writing the plan, he also asked Cao Min to help him find more than a dozen fist-sized transparent crystals, and spent drawings for Lao Zhang to help him polish them into pieces of concave lenses and convex lenses.

The concave lens is to make glasses for Li Xiaoman, Li Xiaoman's eyes are moderately myopia, and the current medical methods really cannot cure it, but it is not difficult to make glasses, he has prepared a pair of various degrees, I believe there is always a suitable pair.

I have to say that Lao Zhang is indeed a great craftsman, and the lenses he polished are basically the same as the lenses of later generations, fixed on a frame made of silver, like a handicraft.

And five days later, the palace trial list was held in Donghua Gate, and Yang Zheng had to rest assured about the things in his hands and went to Donghua Gate.
