Most of the Huangpu official schools were retained in the Northern Plains, and after the Talent Ceremony, not too many people felt unfamiliar with the Northern Plains, but with the increase in the attractiveness of the land of Dongxia to the world's poor families and alternative scholars, there were always some unfamiliar people, such as Lieshi Duo Jingzhong.

These scholars' families are not in Dongxia, and there have been some scholars who have studied in Jingkang out of curiosity to participate in the Dongxia Talent Ceremony, and they have all the official bodies, but they regret running away and running back to their hometown...... There are even some people who have been officials for a year and a half, saying that they will abandon the official position, which has caused controversy in Dongxia. Not to mention the ordinary Tangut people, even the officials of the Manchu Dynasty thought that it was neither safe nor stable to absorb other people as officials in the Tangxia. The ministers repeatedly summarized their opinions and sent them, and Dia Niao did not make a decision to prohibit outsiders from being officials in Dongxia, but took out the "Book of Expulsion of Guests", which was recited in public at the court meeting, saying that Dongxia was established late, and the domestic culture and education were low, and if there were no outsiders as officials, there would be few people available. Li Si, who was Xiangyong back then, shocked King Yong with this book, and Dia Bird threw it out, but it seemed a bit of a time has passed, and caused all kinds of speculation.

Isn't it a kind of ambition to be hegemonic by the talent of the Kanto region? In the face of the discussion, Dia Bird asked the local chief official to care about the life of foreign officials, and there were many requirements, such as receiving the official when sending the official, retiring the residence, condolences during the New Year's holidays, if he did not have a family, he should draw more connections, and if he became a family, he urged his wife to be brought from his hometown...... Shi Jingzhong's group of people went to the Northern Plain, and someone told him that according to the practice of Eastern Xia, General Zhang Tietou and Pingyuan Lingzhang Xiaohe would be present to greet him, which was also the reason why Shi Jingzhong prepared a painting and felt that he had the opportunity to give it away. Along the way, everyone talked about this topic, but when they arrived, their psychological preparation was not enough, and when they arrived in the North Plain, outside the city were full of lights, many people were dressed in costumes, gongs, drums and horns shook the sky, and the village elders came forward, and when they saw people getting off the car, they went to hold people's hands, and wanted to tell these scholars who came to Dongxia to be officials, they knew that they were grateful, and knew that these people were here to "help" the people of Dongxia.

The word "help", Shi Jingzhong listened to it awkwardly, but he was warm in his heart.

Soon there were also people from the official mansion, Zhang Xiaohe and Zhang Tietou entered the house, met one by one, saluted one by one, and asked them what difficulties they had, the family in their hometown was good, and they needed to advance money and settle down, and then, the girls broke up and asked if they felt good in Dongxia, and the soldiers came up to help carry the luggage, help them see the road guide, and then escorted them to the office. Shi Jingzhong can withstand it by himself, but several foreign scholars burst into tears on the spot, if people who have not come to Dongxia don't feel that they come to think about it again, how ungrateful it would be to say goodbye irresponsibly.

Zhang Tietou came to Shi Jingzhong, wearing a silk round-necked braided robe, smiling, his beard was lightly brushed, amiable, talking to him, what he said, Shi Jingzhong didn't hear clearly, fortunately, he remembered that there was a painting to send, touched it for a long time, put it with both hands, and said: "I heard that the general loves calligraphy and painting." ”

Zhang Tietou didn't confiscate it, pressed it on his hand, smiled and said that he was too polite, and made him red-faced.

Shi Jingzhong explained on the spot that it was not an antique calligraphy and painting, it was bought by himself at a street stall and painted by a small Langjun. However, he still confiscated it, and said to Shi Jingzhong: "Our North Plain is a big city, the largest city in Beizhou, Wei Bo is not as lively as us, there is a street next to the Huangpu official school, all of which are exchanged calligraphy and paintings, especially Shanfeng Tang, what celebrities have calligraphy and paintings, look good, buy the journal directly, you take it to let the family appraisal, maybe it will be a good price, if you are willing to collect, you will accept it, if you don't want to, change hands for some money to settle down." ”

Shi Jingzhong had to say anything more, but the people had already left, so he had to sigh.

Someone next to him taught him, "You go." According to what the general said, I looked at the general's eyes, and I liked it so much, maybe he would ask people to look for this painting there when he turned around. ”

Shi Jingzhong was stunned for a moment.

What does this mean?

Do you have to go around in a circle when giving and receiving gifts?

He took note of it.

A soldier came to him like a pair, looked at his way, told him where he should go, and wanted to lead him, he turned his head and looked at it several times, and saw that others had been received and left like this, and he also followed the soldier, all the way, all the way, all the way to ask the soldier about the style of the northern plain.

The pawn also set up a carriage, put the bookcase on him, and said, "Sir asked me, I am stupid, and when I get to the place, I have a place to live, and I will accompany you on the street." You'll know what's in the North Plains. ”

His face flushed with excitement, and he said excitedly, "The Northern Plains have everything. We have a big North Plains, and there were elephants on the street two days ago, do you believe it or not? Our fine workshops in Dongxia are one by one, and the businessmen from Nanyang are reluctant to stay. They all say that our North Plains are good, and they all say that Wei Bo is not comparable, Wei Bo is getting more and more dilapidated, the North Plains is getting bigger and better, and there are dung pits and horse tethering stones not far from the street, and you can't find them anywhere...... On the fifteenth day of the first day of every month, there are also official and female charity performances, singing like larks, dancing like swans, if you are not short of money, give a change to help our people in poor places in Dongxia. He said for a while, gradually becoming a little confused, but Shi Jingzhong was full of interest and did not let go of every sentence.

He had heard of the prosperity of the Northern Plain, but he didn't expect it to be prosperous to this extent, along the Jingkang border, now there are a lot of fields, and Lingwu can't help but trade, but Lingwu is still Lingwu, but it is a big county...... This northern plain, which was deserted more than ten years ago, is now really bigger than Wei Bo?

When he entered the city, the scenery in his eyes gradually poured into his eyes, and the noise in his ears was just verifying what others said, the streets were wide enough, but the carriages could not move at a leisurely pace, and they stopped and went. He lifted the curtain on the one-seater car in the crowd, as if he had stayed in the car.

Suddenly, a terrible thought poured into his mind: The Northern Plains are so prosperous, if Jingkang asks for it, will Dongxia give it?

The carriage galloped all the way.

After going to the official office, he should have arrived, and then he had to go down, and the people who received him at the official office were also affectionate, telling him that he could wander around the North Plains for two days before going to office.

He asked the soldiers to take him and go to the Mountain Wind Hall to see.

He always suspected that Zhang Tietou was going around in circles to paint, but when he arrived at Shanfeng Hall, as soon as he took out the painting, people opened their mouths and made a thousand times.

He was still digging out his ears and doubting, but the soldier explained on his behalf, saying: "This painting is bought in Shanfengtang, it is to be printed, and when it is printed, it will be popular all over the world, and they will make more money." ”

The paintings of Dongxia are all over the world.

Although Jingkang will abandon some and not let it spread, but the merchant will pick and sell it, and the adults will forget it, at most it is cheap, buy a middle hall, but the children are welcome to the extreme, and Shi Jingzhong has also pondered their paints. I didn't expect it to come out of such a place.

This is a particularly new thing for Shi Jingzhong.

He was good at painting, and he had to take the liberty of asking someone to take him to see it, and the soldiers showed him the official seal for him, and the people inside reluctantly led him around the stereotyped courtyard, but he was not allowed to see the artifacts of the paintings, and he also told sù: "In the past, they were all government-run, and they had to search their bodies when they entered and exited, and they only let go of the collection in the past few years, but the skills of publishing and painting had to be guaranteed by the lord and not passed on, which was the net worth of my lord." ”

In fact, he didn't really want to sell the painting, but he was persuaded by people on the grounds that he wanted to be rewarded by the world, and he couldn't refuse, so he finally sold the painting.

came out of Shanfeng Hall, but he met Zhang Tietou opposite.

He calculated the time, Zhang Tietou came back from outside the city, at most he had a meal, because he knew it well, so he ran to the side to salute.

Zhang Tietou also recognized him, and said with a smile: "Ahhh It's you. ”

He hurriedly asked, "Why did the general come here?" ”

Suddenly, he remembered that others reminded him to sell paintings in Shanfeng Hall, and he couldn't help but blame himself for his bad mouth, and he was about to catch up with Bo Gulu Tai Sui.

Zhang Tietou replied: "There is an important painting to be published, let me ask how it is." You look like someone who knows how to draw, come with me and have a look. This painting ...... I don't actually know much, although I have been learning from books to paintings, but I am busy with military affairs, and I still lack a lot, if you understand, don't be humble, and be my teacher. ”

The word Ziqian sealed the words, Shi Jingzhong had to answer a little bit about it, follow him, just go, not far away, one of the guards he went in early had already come out alone with the inside, like the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper looked in a hurry, and there was no extra politeness to meet, holding a long sleeve, and when he went to the plug, he took something out of it, and quickly took out a scroll and said: "The edition has been engraved, and only one copy has been published, and I am waiting for General Zhang to come and see if there is a big gap with the official workshop." ”

The guards went up to help him unfold, and they were all cautious, as if this was not a painting, but a rare treasure.

Seeing that he was halfway through the exhibition, Zhang Tietou motioned to Shi Jingzhong to palm his eyes for him, Shi Jingzhong leaned up, and with just one glance, he had an extra stream of heat in his nostrils, his head was dizzy, and his eyes were so straight that it seemed that there was a pair of rulers standing in front of him invisibly. He stammered, "This painting ......"

Zhang Tietou was also taken aback, jumped up to him and asked him, "Is it not published well?" ”

Shi Jingzhong was afraid that it would be a nosebleed, so he touched it on his nose and found that it was just a stream of heat, not a liquid, so he was relieved, and he said to him: "How can this painting be here?" This is what the students did. ”

Zhang Tietou looked left and right, as if he couldn't believe it, and finally slapped his hands suddenly, his face tightened, and he blurted out: "I found a treasure." Damn, I never thought that this person who made a picture of a tiger sniffing a peony would stand in front of him. He turned around, a pair of big hands on Shi Jingzhong's shoulders, like a pair of vises, Shi Jingzhong was still weak-hearted, but he was pushing, so that Shi Jingzhong kept retreating, and when Shi Jingzhong looked back, he helped him into his seat in a savage way.

Shi Jingzhong squatted on the Taishi chair.

Zhang Tietou stepped back, looked at him left and right, and blurted out: "Good talent." Resemble. Like you did it, how the hell did you make it? The king said that this is a Chinese painting. Priceless Chinese paintings. Do you know why I published it, not only in the official magazine, but also in their Shanfeng Hall? Soldiers. Ah. The hard work paid off, and the talented people who educated our Dongxia soldiers were found by Lao Tzu. ”

Shi Jingzhong had to stand up.

Zhang Tietou rushed over and sat him down, then stepped back, and said with a smile: "This painting shows the style of an elegant general." Masterpieces. Jingkang trained Mao soldiers over there...... We're practicing Ya General. He laughed, danced, stepped a few steps, and said to the people around him, "Go." The gentleman will come to my yamen. Teacher and friend. Teacher and friend. I don't grieve you. I will never wronged you. I have a quota, how about giving you a military position? ”
