Chapter 51: A Great Gift
Shangshu, this is a member of the imperial court, Zhang Zhen knows that there is a Liu Shangshu who is building a dragon temple for the Ming Dynasty, it should be him.
But why did he come to visit him? Could it be because of the wheat fields?
Under careful questioning, sure enough, Zhang Zhen was a little speechless, everyone is here, and he is still such a big official, he can't avoid it, it would be too suspicious.
Instructed Liu to prepare tea, dress up, and go out of the gate.
When Lord Liu approached, Zhang Zhen smiled and arched his hand: "Zhang Zhen, a grass people, meets Lord Shangshu!" ”
He is the master, and the other party is a guest, although the identity at this time is very different, it is already quite polite to be able to greet the door, and there is no need to bow at all, of course, Zhang Zhen does not want to bow down.
Liu Shangshu said in surprise: "Brother Zhang is polite, do you have the ability to grow such fertile land, but you have no merit?" ”
As soon as he said this, Zhang Zhen became angry, this old man even posted this matter to Confucianism, it's too unusual, right?
Zhang Zhen replied indifferently: "If you return to Lord Shangshu, there is a precept at home, don't be a frog at the bottom of the well, the people of the old Zhang family, if you are a man, you will conquer the stars and the sea!" ”
"Bold !!"
With a few 'smack' sounds, Lord Liu's entourage and Xia Zhongyong and Zhang Huanghe all drew their knives, and both sides glared angrily.
"Presumptuous! Don't put the knife away yet! Liu Shangshu scolded, and apologized to Zhang Zhen after speaking: "The subordinates don't know how to be polite, so Brother Zhang laughs." ”
The two sides collected the blades, Liu Shangshu sighed, "I heard that there is a diorama flowing out here a few years ago, and the old man still doesn't believe it, after all, the sea is extremely dangerous, if there is this training, then the diorama is obtained, but it's a pity little brother, you must know that everything is inferior only if you read high, and you can do things for the people of the world with fame!" ”
"Your Excellency is here to teach?" Zhang Zhen asked flatly.
This has the meaning of an eviction order, how could Liu Shangshu expect him not to say anything about it? I am a scholar and a scholar! This hasn't even entered the door yet, and if you are driven away again, it will be a shame.
Liu Zunxian is not good at money and women, but this reputation can't be seen through, and he cherishes his feathers the most, so he smiled helplessly: "That's it, the old man is here to ask for advice, don't dare to preach, just don't say it!" ”
Zhang Zhen said with a smile: "It's so neglectful to adults, please enter the main hall, and you will have your own good tea to entertain." ”
The other party was interested, Zhang Zhen was also much more polite, the two sides entered together, and after sitting down, Liu served tea.
This is a big red robe, the world has not found it, smelling the fragrance of tea, Liu Shangshu was in good spirits, and praised: "Good tea!" No worse than that before the Ming Dynasty. ”
Zhang Zhen said with a smile: "Adults are insightful, and they can know the taste when they smell the fragrance, but this tea is indeed not as good as the Longjing before the Ming Dynasty!" ”
Zhang Zhen also told the truth, although the tea in the industrial park is a high-grade red robe, it is definitely not on the mother tree, this Lord Liu is the second product of the dynasty, and it must be a tribute to drink the Longjing before the Ming Dynasty, and it is also a top famous tea.
Where is Liu Shangshu willing to believe, calmly and concentrating, until this cup of hot tea is drunk unconsciously, then he sighed: "The little brother is the master of the tea ceremony, compared with the two, it is only a little bit worse, plus your tea is rare, enough to be listed as a tribute!" ”
"Don't!" Zhang Zhen had a headache and said: "This tea comes from a desert island on the sea, the sea is vast, if you want to find it again, there is no doubt that you are looking for a needle in a haystack, and the rest of these are already unique products, adults want to drink it, it doesn't hurt to give some when you leave, if it is listed as a tribute, where can we find it?" ”
Cunning and cunning! Cunning old man! Zhang Zhen sighed in his heart, this greedy old man, this is a trick for himself.
In desperation, I can only push the source of tea to the sea, anyway, I was not born, and I have the ability to find it on the sea.
"Unique?" Liu Shangshu was stunned for a moment, and said dejectedly: "In this case, the matter of tribute is over!" ”
Zhang Zhen glanced at the guards at the door, and saw that they were all stakes, and he was also relieved, hoping that they were all Liu Shangshu's cronies, otherwise they would be in trouble, I already knew that I would not be embarrassed, and I would entertain you with Kuding tea, see how you can drink this old man?
Liu Shangshu asked casually: "Little brother, the growth of the wheat field is very extraordinary, and the wheat seeds are also from overseas?" ”
Lean, lean, lean!! Why did you bring this old fox in? Zhang Zhen had a headache, and said quietly on his face: "Wheat seeds are just ordinary things, and the good growth is not because of the pond mud. ”
Liu Shangshu said with a smile: "People have a poor memory when they are old, you have to forget if you don't mention the old decay, the old decay of this pond mud has indeed heard of it, and he only did the reckless man who didn't know how to farm that day, how could he have thought of such an extraordinary effect." ”
O old fox! This is clearly pretending to be stupid! Zhang Zhen was vigilant in his heart, and became more and more cautious in responding, and finally sent this Liu Shangshu out of the door, and by the way, he also put on a small porcelain bottle of tea.
Outside the door, Liu Shangshu said with a smile: "Thank you little brother for your good tea reception, there is also a tea gift here before leaving, the old man really doesn't want to go, wait for the old man to go back, send some Ming to the little brother, and make a return gift!" ”
That must be a tribute, let's also taste the emperor's tea, Zhang Zhen smiled: "Thank you so much, Lord Shangshu!" ”
"Little brother is polite! Oh, by the way, I almost forgot! ”
Liu Shangshu slapped his head, Zhang Zhen heard a sudden burst in his heart, only to hear Liu Shangshu smile and say: "The old man has a good friend, surnamed Zhang Guowei, who is the imperial history of the dynasty and the governor of the ten prefectures, hey!" You two are in your own family! ”
"My friend is the most enthusiastic about agriculture and people's livelihood, and the year before last, he also stereotyped the "Wuzhong Water Conservancy Book" and "Agricultural Administration Book", the water conservancy book was written by him, and he participated in the revision and preface of the agricultural administration book, which shows his enthusiasm."
"He would be angry if he knew that the old man had seen the crops in your field and did not tell him! Little brother, look, can you dig up a foot or two of wheat seedlings and send some to my friend, the imperial history of your family, so that he can have a long insight? ”
'Zhang Guowei! Zhang Guowei!! Zhang Zhen roared in his heart.
Who does Zhang Zhen want most? It's not Chen Yuanyuan, it's not Princess Changping, it's Zhang Guowei who looks through the history of the Ming Dynasty.
There are beauties, I am fortunate to lose my life, what kind of girl in the world does not have? Hit the West, and the Yanmar can have as much as it wants!
But this Zhang Guowei, that's amazing!
It was he who served as the governor of the ten prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River for six years, building water conservancy and appeasing the people's livelihood, which made the rice and grain of the Jingshi successive, otherwise the grain price of the Ming Dynasty would not know how much it would skyrocket?
"The Complete Book of Water Conservancy in Wuzhong" is regarded as the first water conservancy masterpiece in ancient times, and Zhang Zhen has heard of it twice before he crosses.
This is a man who can rule the world and the people, and the cattle man who can fight and kill the enemy, that is, he was born at the wrong time, in the two years of the Southern Ming Dynasty, he heard that the general defected to the enemy, and he committed suicide by throwing himself into the pool, which shows his loyalty.
Such a talented character is more useful than Zhang Huanghe's golden-headed general, Zhang Zhen must be excited, but this loyalty is not easy to deal with.
In ancient times, solicitation was nothing more than moving with affection, knowing the righteousness, and enticing it to benefit these, and it was useless to use these estimates for this Zhang Guowei, so conquer it! Let's start by giving him wheat seedlings!
