The ancients were very interested in the origin of the teacher, because the square word is not taught orally, and it is impossible to learn it without a teacher. Therefore, every literate ancient person has his own teacher, which is the source of knowledge.

And the knowledge that Zhao Xing showed was obviously not what Su Dongpo was good at.

But Zhao Xing didn't want to answer this question, he pinched Yi Yi heavily, Yi Yi immediately understood, and immediately pretended to be innocent and asked how to decorate himself, and then, several doctors also took the time to report Zhang Yuan's condition to Zhao Xing - the latter was what Zhang was most concerned about, and his attention immediately shifted.

"There's nothing wrong with Yanai, and I'll be able to get up after a few days' rest," the doctor concluded.

"Rest for a few more days......", Zhang said to himself thoughtfully. Immediately, he looked up and asked Zhao Xing: "When are you going to go to Mizhou to take up your post?" ”

Zhao Xing replied: "I have to wait until Brother Wengu recovers from his illness." ”

Zhang shook his head: "I have to walk for a month on the road, and in any case, I have to go to work before February 9 next year." It's best to hand over the news now - I heard that Zhang Yong, the regimental training envoy, has a good relationship with you, and when he was appointed, it was because of this that you were pointed to the county of Mizhou. ”

There is an implicit meaning in Zhang's words, that is, the official position that Zhao Xing appointed at the beginning was specially arranged by someone, but it was not Zhang who made this arrangement, otherwise he would have confessed directly.

Zhang's statement that he would take office before February 9 was because of a Song Dynasty officialdom system. The Song Dynasty stipulated: except for the imperial examination year. The period from February 9 to 11 of each year in a normal year is the date of appointment and dismissal of magistrates. It is called "county call". In the autumn, it was decided to appoint and dismiss Beijing officials, and it was called "Si Zhao".

In other words, if Zhao Xing still wants to be an official, he must send a message to Zhang Yong before the autumn, otherwise Zhang Yong will report the lack of official positions during the official assessment. Then, on February 9 of the following year, the imperial court will appoint new officials.

Zhao Xing frowned and replied, "In this case, I have to contact Zhang Yong quickly." I don't know if the autumn official assessment is over, and I haven't contacted him since I went home. ”

Zhang thought for a moment and suggested: "I need to send a fast horse to Mizhou, say hello to Zhang Yong first, let him cover up in front of Shangguan, and wait for a sure reply." When you leave people, you have to move quickly.

If the autumn check is over, you need to find out who is coming...... That's a bit of a wasted effort. However, it's not that you can't do tricks. It's best to do it today. ”

Zhao Xing nodded, looked at the dock area below the slope and replied, "That's exactly how it should be." Today they can unload at least one boat, and at this moment the northwest wind is strong, as long as one boat is freed, they can reach Mizhou tomorrow. ”

Zhang was taken aback. In fact, there was selfishness in his suggestion just now, originally he thought that even if he sent a fast horse to Michigan, it would take about a month to go back and forth. And during this time, his son happened to be able to recuperate. When Zhao Xing left, he asked his son to go with Zhao Xing. This also reduces the bumpiness of the journey. But he didn't expect Zhao Xing to unload the ship so quickly.

"My child is sick ......," the chapter groaned.

Zhao Xing thought for a moment and replied: "Yes, Brother Wengu's body still needs to be recuperated for a while, and he still needs to take a few more doses of medicine." In this way, I asked my disciple to go to Mizhou with an official letter, and told Zhang Yong that if he couldn't cover it up, let my disciple impersonate. ”

Zhang glanced at the other party obliquely, he was bold. I didn't expect Zhao Xing to even dare to do something like an impostor. However, thinking that the other party was to take care of his son, he specially stayed for a few more days, and Zhang thought about it for a long time, pretending not to hear the other party's words, and pointed to the cherry blossoms all over the hillside. talked about the wind and snow: "I heard that the mountains are full of cherry blossoms. But Shaohua is fleeting, and this flower can only bloom for a few days. But no? ”

"Yes!" Zhao Xing was still pondering the candidates for the attendants among the students, and answered absentmindedly. Zhang walked a few steps and walked out of the house, standing in front of the door with his hands behind his back, comfortably observing the cherry blossoms in the courtyard.

Zhang walked abruptly, and he didn't even say hello, Zhao Xing could see that the other party didn't want to get involved in this matter.

In the Song Dynasty, impostorization was very feasible, because in ancient times there was no photography, no fax, and officials took office on the basis of an official letter. In the Ming and Qing dynasties, there are often stories of officials being killed by thieves and impersonating officials. It can be seen that this matter is feasible. Besides, the only person who has seen Zhao Xing in Mizhou is Zhang Yong, as long as Zhang Yong doesn't speak, this matter is not a big deal.

How big is it in Michigan, and how big is it in the Michigan militia armament?

Zhao Xing scrutinized the front and back in his heart, he beckoned Cheng Shuang, and advised: "Go and invite Yuan Yeping." ”

After a while, Yuan Yeping was invited into Zhao Xing's small building, and after a while, Yuan Yeping hurriedly came out with an indescribable strange expression......

When Zhao Xing appeared in front of Zhang again, his expression was relaxed, he pointed to the cherry blossoms all over the mountain, and said: "Zhang Laozi, the flowers are blooming, why don't we set up wine in the courtyard and have a drink to enjoy the flowers." ”

Zhang Xiao groaned, and immediately shook his head: "Forget it." You also have to pack your bags, and take care of the docks, and go to get busy, and the old man will walk around by himself and take a look. ”

Zhang said this because he wanted to avoid suspicion. With him present, the local officials did not dare to accept the invitation to the banquet, and it was better to enjoy this moment of tranquility than to drink and have fun in the cold scene.

Zhao Xing understood, he called Cheng Xia over, arranged for a few disciples to accompany Zhang, and went to the dock by himself.

The timber on the dock has been unloaded, and workers are reinstalling the mast of the rowing boat. The unloaded timber is divided in the dock area, sawn into planks and then transported in pieces. At this time, there are also several merchants who have been informed in advance to buy the whole log in the dock area, and go home and slowly process the wood according to their own wishes......

Zhao Xing's castle, although the outer wall is crooked, but the road in the fort is smooth and straight, because the wharf often has to unload things, so the road leading from the wharf area to the warehouse in the fort is slightly sloping, and the huge timber unloaded on the wharf is carried by several carriages, with the help of the slightly inclined ramp. A few workers were pushing the wagon into the castle with ease.

After the rowing boats are unloaded, the remaining work is to vacate the dock area. Lin Lei then unloaded other cargo. Zhao Xing walked around the dock for a while, and saw that the students organized several classes of people in an orderly manner, tidying up the dock area, and each student was followed by a few "Yici Leye" people, who held small books in their hands and recorded the entire operation process. This group of natural accountants learned quickly, and after a while, they became familiar with the process, and they had questions and answers with Zhao Xingdi's students.

Zhao Xing sighed secretly in his heart.

This group of students studied with him for several years, and only knew how to memorize this set of rules and operating procedures. The execution of the scripted course does not know the histological principle contained in it, and the first thing the Jews want to understand when they come up is the principle. Once the principle is understood, the others can be inferred.

It's a good thing that the children grow up very quickly in the process of communicating with the Jews. Some children are already able to explain in simple words why the process is designed the way it is – they are already starting to understand the principle.

Zhao Xing didn't alarm the children on the dock who taught each other, he followed the pedals of the boat to the galleon, and knocked on the VIP room on the ship.

The VIP room was gently rippling with Arabic ** music, several Arab slave girls dressed very little, were playing in the cabin, they moved very lightly, as if they were afraid that the sound would be too loud and wake up the sleeping baby.

However, there were no babies in the room. Only standing in front of the string window, using a telescope to observe Pu Yi'an on the opposite hillside.

Zhao Xing walked into the cabin unceremoniously, the soft Arabic carpet immediately sunk his feet to his ankles, there was no sound at all when walking on this carpet, Zhao Xing walked to the desk, until he picked up the glass wine bottle and poured himself wine, he made a little sound, he asked while drinking: "What are you looking at, so distracted?" ”

Pu Yi'an didn't put down the binoculars, and replied without looking back: "That old man on the hillside!" I heard that he was the privy envoy of the Great Song Dynasty. But he doesn't look like it at all. ”

Zhao Xing leaned crookedly on the sofa bed in the cabin. Raise your hand and order the slave girls: "Play something light, I don't like such lewd tunes, be refreshing." ”

The music rang out, and an Arab slave girl stood up and swirled around in the small open space in the cabin. Dancing. and flattered Zhao Xing from time to time. Pu Yi'an put down the binoculars, and he returned to his desk. Sitting deeply on the office chair, he looked at Zhao Xing through the huge desk: "Yes, this new ship has been tested by navigation, and it is far more than the old one, and it is fast, I am very satisfied." We finally have our own ship type, and it is estimated that in the future, we can firmly dominate that trade route, and your ideals will be realized. ”

Zhao Xing raised his head and drank the wine in the glass, waved his hand to let the group of Arab slave girls leave, and then gently put the wine glass back on the desk, and said, "The old man you saw just now persuaded me to go to Mizhou and serve as a regimental training judge." What do you think? ”

Pu Yi'an filled Zhao Xing's wine glass, and then replied: "I also think you should go, the plate in Nanyang is too big, we can't eat it in one bite, but Gaomi and the Wa Kingdom - you have people, you have land, if you add an official identity, we can completely monopolize this route." ”

Zhao Xing nodded slowly and said, "Actually, when I first came to Goryeo, I had an idea, if you are interested, I can tell you - Tamna Island." Interested? ”

Pu Yi'an hurriedly poured himself a glass of wine, drank it all in one gulp, and then replied: "I know your expression, whenever you say it lightly, it must be a big plan."

I've heard of Tamna, but let me take a sip before you speak, if I'm too sober, I won't go crazy with you...... Okay, I've had three drinks. You can say it now. ”

"What is the population of the whole Tamna? Twenty thousand. But we have 100 million in Da Song, what do you think about this number? ”

"But Tamna Island is poor in products, and that small island can only support so many people."

"I know. But I also know one thing, when the city was originally set up in Dengzhou, Dengzhou traded horses with the Jurchens in addition to trading with Goryeo. This time, the imperial court moved the city to Mizhou, and it is not known whether the horse trade will be stopped.

This horse-selling route was one of only a few horse-selling routes in the Great Song Dynasty, and I don't think it was possible for the imperial court to abandon it. And I happen to know that Tamna Island has a grassland that is most suitable for raising horses, which can be used as a breeding base for famous horses. How much does a war horse cost? This short route can be taken one round trip a day, yes. At the same time, I also know. Tamna Island is very close to Wakoku, Goryeo, and Dengju, and the climate is suitable. It's ideal as a cargo transit point.

We have Qiongzhou in the south, but we lack a base in the north. And after all, Qiongzhou is in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, once something happens, our local family will not be able to protect it. Tamna Island is different, it is still an independent country. The king is very weak, and he spends some money to buy a piece of land, and then gradually eats away - we have the status of the Celestial Empire, even if there are changes in the future. The Koreans and Tamna people did not dare to provoke us.

If I go to Michigan, I can transport tens of thousands of people nearby, and I can take over Tamna Island by virtue of the population advantage alone......"

Pu Yi'an's eyes were as bright as a mouse in the dark, and he smiled happily: "Are you talking to me about a usurpation?" I hear intrigue and gore in your words - more detail, more detail. ”

"Everyone is trying to get the most out of their low costs, but it's hard to reconcile the crowd, and we can't keep everyone's mouth shut. Therefore, if you want people to keep secrets, you must pay enough to make him feel that once the secrets are leaked, he has lost too much...... Okay, I'm going around this *** too much, now let me get back to the topic:

If I go to Michigan to be an official, five broken naval ships will obviously not meet our requirements, and I need to replace these five ships with our men and our ships. I need to gag everyone. In that case, I need to give them enough temptation.

I think the temptation is the land, Tamna has a humid climate. The land is vast and sparsely populated, and 50,000 people have been relocated, which can be fully accommodated. Your ship can come to the Great Song to load horses, and when you go back, it will be full of immigrants, and in less than a year, we will be able to completely occupy that island by numbers.

I have Goryeo relations on hand, and on Tamna Island, you can meet merchants from any country and let these merchants pass off, and you can use the name of merchants from the three countries. Swaggering in and out of the Great Song Dynasty and enjoying the benefits of tax exemption. How's it going, is there a big temptation to be a king? ”

Pu Yi'an smiled slyly and asked rhetorically: "Why don't you do it yourself?" ”

An honest and honest smile appeared on Zhao Xing's face: "I already have Nagato!" ”

Mention Nagato. Pu Yi'an seemed to remember something. He quickly jumped to his feet and pulled out a pair of charts from his desk. Spread it out on the table and studied: "Nagato, I heard that the Wa Kingdom is at war, and you have sent a ship to Nagato not long ago, and I also heard that because of the discord between the Kanto Samurai Order of the Genji and the Imperial Family, the lords of various places change frequently...... Was it because you couldn't get out of Minami that you didn't want to go to Michigan to be an official? Now that you are willing again, is there progress in the affairs of the Wa Kingdom? ”

Zhao Xing's expression was calm, and he shook his wine glass and replied, "I just drove away the two nearby lords and tripled my territory. ”

"Bigger than Tamna?"

"Not now, but it will be the case in the future."

Pu Yi'an snorted twice: "There must have been a lot of twists and turns in this, I know that the war in the last three years is coming to an end, and the days of your two-sided curry favor are probably over...... Okay, let's talk about your plan. ”

At noon, Zhao Xingcai got off the boat, and when he returned to the castle, he saw that Zhang Yuan had begun to move slowly in the courtyard with the support of the maid. And Zhang was in the mid-mountain pavilion, pouring himself a drink, and a group of Kabuki around him were playing the piano and singing music for him.

Cheng Xia came up and reported to him: "Jie Taishou replied: How can you be so ignorant of people, Zhang Zihou is here, can I go?" Don't talk about cherry blossoms, even if you share the money, I won't go. ”

Zhao Xing nodded: "In that case, I will give each of them a gift, saying that I am back and will visit another person in the future." ”

Next, Zhao Xing lived a few days of life as a Song scholar who enjoyed flowers and drinking, and when several ships were unloaded, the goods were also loaded into the warehouse, and the news from Mizhou Zhang Yong there also returned - he agreed to Zhao Xing's request, and now he is very close to Yuan Ye every day.

On the sixth day of Zhao Xing's homecoming, after day and night non-stop unloading, the three big ships have unloaded half of the cargo, and the cargo storage work will continue for a few days, but the tide of Qiantang is also coming, and people who have closely monitored the changes in the water level in the past few days have reported that the water level has exceeded the warning line.

"It's time to go", Zhao Xingyi reluctantly said to his wife and concubine: "Speaking of which, I have been running around all day long, and I haven't had a good time with you, well, wait ......"

"We won't go with you this time", without waiting for Cheng Azhu to express his position, Chen Yiyi preemptively said: "I'm busy here, so I have to sort out the goods before leaving...... Again. You have to have someone in the house to host, right? So Sister Azhu can't do without it. When you're settled, we'll go back. Fortunately, Michigan is not far from here. ”

Cheng Azhu first comforted Yiyi. Then he replied to Zhao Xing softly: "The official Hugh said so, you work hard for this family, the concubine is grateful, you are tired, you hate the concubine for being talentless, and you can't help...... The officials just have to go, and the concubines at home will give you a good look. ”

Chen Yiyi immediately replied quickly: "Hmph, that Liao Xiaoxiao arrived at the mouth of the canal yesterday, and you didn't let her into the house - you didn't want to bring her to Ren." Hey, don't pretend. ”

"I'll take Zhang Yuan with me", Zhao Xing skipped Chen Yiyi's question, and continued casually: "It will save a lot of roads by sea, and when I get to Mizhou, I will send someone to send him to the capital." ”

Zhang Wenxin rushed over, and when he heard this arrangement, he also agreed: "Yuan'er will take a scientific examination next year." It's good to enter Beijing early to prepare for the exam early, so it will be hard to leave. My home is in Suzhou, not far from here, if there is anything in your family, just ask the old man. ”

This day happened to be the moment when the cherry blossoms fell, and the wind on the sea was getting stronger and stronger, Pu Yi'an and Zhao Xing completed the handover on the dock and sent Zhao Xing off.

In those years, communication was not smooth, and it was impossible for people to conduct remote command. Therefore, after Zhao Xing leaves, Pu Yi'an will be specifically responsible for the operation and construction of the wharf. Zhao Xing introduced him to the remaining local stewards, and Pu Yi'an replied: "Yes, I am very satisfied." Everything in the cabin is left to you, and you are here to mine. My son will come from Arabia next year to preside over my affairs in Quanzhou, and I will fully preside over the plan you mentioned, and I look forward to our cooperation in getting this matter done. ”

The crew began to get on board. The last to arrive was Liao Xiaoxiao, who was wrapped in a cloak and half-dragged onto the deck by a group of orchids. These orchids were the group of people that Zhao Xing left in the capital, and after they boarded the ship, the two ships put away their gangplanks one after another and set sail for the port. After a while, the boat sailed out of the mouth of the Qiantang River.

When the boat leaves the dock. Zhao Xing was busy in the bilge. Because of the rush this time, only half of the cargo in the hold was unloaded. Many cargo lashing ropes have been untied. When he was about to go to sea, he was in a hurry to fix it, and Zhao Xing needed to check it well.

When he finished checking all the goods and returned to the deck, he heard Liao Xiaoxiao's crying: "I'm not leaving, I'm not taking a boat, I want to see Lord Zhao, leave someone, where are you?" I don't go to sea! ”

Liao Xiaoxiao shouted a little hoarsely. She was inexplicably picked up, stayed at the mouth of the canal for two days, and then was inexplicably taken to a ship...... This kind of thing is also common, most of the jealous wives in the family know about her husband's cheating, and hide from her husband to send the woman to the sea ship and sell her overseas as a slave. Liao Xiaoxiao heard too much of this legendary story, thinking that she was in that situation, so she cried and screamed.

She was crying, and the orchids watched coldly, because the person who went to pick them up was taking Zhao Xingdi's token, according to the rules, even if Zhao Xing transferred them to others, it was in line with Arab rules.

Zhao Xing returned to Pu Yi'an's cockpit and told Cheng Xia to go to the deck and invite Liao Xiaoxiao over. He unfolded the chart left by Pu Yi'an and carefully studied the route.

In recent years, with the continuous expansion of Zhao Xing and them on the sea, many places on this chart have gradually improved, but it will take hundreds of years of efforts to perfect the situation of modern nautical charts. Because there are no less than 100,000 small islands along China's coastline, even if it takes a week to detect the hydrological conditions of a small island, it will take 100 years.

Most people can't understand this chart at present, because to understand this chart, you need knowledge of trigonometric functions, and the secret of Zhao Xing's shipping route is on this chart. In this era, other maritime merchants had to follow the direction of the wind, and only when the monsoon was favorable did they know where they were sailing, otherwise they would not dare to determine their position. Zhao Xing, on the other hand, was able to sail against the wind, walking in a zigzag line in the sea, and even if he was driving against the wind, he could know where he was - this navigation technology was close to that of the Age of Discovery. When Liao Xiaoxiao entered the door, Zhao Xing was choosing a port on the chart. If he brazenly broke into the port of Mizhou, he would probably be seized by the government. And because he violated the ban and operated a sea trade, he was impeached by the imperial history and even imprisoned. So he had to find a safe place to land and bring Zhang Yong over.

When Liao Xiaoxiao entered the room, she was obviously startled by the ambiguous layout in the cabin, she stood at the door of the cabin and hesitated, and saw Zhao Xing sitting behind the huge desk clearly. Only then did he happily enter the cabin: "Daguan, it's really you." I thought ......"

Liao Xiaoxiao's eyes rolled, and immediately avoided the topic, she walked affectionately like a dance, approached Zhao Xing's side without seeing anything, stuck to Zhao Xingdi's back, and said in a nickname: "Big official, I thought you forgot Xiaoxiao, it turns out that Xiaoxiao still has a memory in the hearts of big officials." ”

Liao Xiaoxiao said as she gently hugged Zhao Xingdi's back. Writhing around. Zhao Xing paused, patted Liao Xiaoxiao's face with his hand and said, "Wait a while, wait for me to understand this chart." ”

The five orchids also followed Liao Xiaoxiao in, and Kasli bowed to Liao Xiaoxiao and greeted Zhao Xing like the Song people. Zhao Xing waved his hand without raising his head, and ordered: "There are musical instruments in the house, play a little soft music." Keep the sound as low as possible. ”

When Pu Yi'an got off the boat, except for taking away his beloved parrot, there was almost nothing in the room, and several orchids immediately found all the instruments in the cabin, and played them gently. And Liao Xiaoxiao glanced at the other party's movements, still sticking to Zhao Xing's side.

Zhao Xing picked up a copper bell on the table. After shaking it twice, an Arab servant came quickly, and Zhao Xing ordered: "What is the speed of the ship?" What is the course? Go ask the captain and report back to me right away. ”

The Arab servant ran barefoot and thumped away. Zhao Xing put away the drawings and raised his eyes to look at Liao Xiaoxiao. At this glance, he realized that he had guessed wrong.

originally thought that Liao Xiaoxiao should "never regret the gradual widening of the clothes belt, and make people thin for Yixiao", but now Liao Xiaoxiao is obviously fat, and even her face is much rounder. She wore an emerald green plain skirt with a seal pattern embroidered on her chest. The eyebrows and faces are obviously carefully made up, showing an indescribable style.

Her eyes were bright and watery...... It is said that because of the endocrine effect of a woman in love, her eyes will look particularly bright. But now Zhao Xing is not sure who the other party is in love with.

Judging from Liao Xiaoxiao's demeanor, she obviously ate well and slept well during this time. The heart is wide and the body is fat. There is a lot of flesh growing all over the body, is it because of lovesickness? Perhaps. I heard that some people are lovesick and can't eat. There are also people who overeat and become fat people in an instant. But although Liao Xiaoxiao is fat, her body shape is well controlled, which shows that she is very happy during this time, as for lovesickness, maybe it is purely a performance. The embroidered seal robe worn by Liao Xiaoxiao is also very particular, and the seal pattern on it is a "heart" character. The seal character "heart" embroidered with two-color thread is a declaration of love for women in the Song Dynasty, and wearing such a skirt means that I am in love, I am very happy, don't come to harass me.

Everything was like acting, but the scene was so touching. Zhao Xing couldn't bear to expose it, he reached out and picked up Liao Xiaoxiao's chin, and asked with a smile: "The poem is good, now that we have met, how about another one?" ”

Liao Xiaoxiao's eyes were rolling, her cheeks were full of redness, and she whispered: "The slave family is only happy in their hearts, and they can't do it." ”

That's right. If she can still think about poetry and rhyme when her emotions are fully mobilized, then she must be playing love.

Zhao Xing's hand slowly moved down from Liao Xiaoxiao's chin to her chest, Liao Xiaoxiao's face turned red, but she didn't move, her eyes were watery and could drip water; The smile on the corner of his mouth is bewitching, it seems to be encouragement, it seems to be expectation, and it is also like inviting pets.

The Song people did not wear bras, so Liao's small breasts were turbulent and surging. As his fingers stopped on his chest, Zhao Xing had noticed that the small milk beads were slowly bulging, becoming more sharp and round.

Zhao Xing rubbed it gently, it was as soft as a ball of noodles, or water...... Well, it's like water, isn't that what you mean?

His hand continued to move downward, moving over the delicate concave and convex curves, across the graceful and round slender**, and caressing the plump and round buttocks - the skin was very elastic, which made Zhao Xing reluctant to give up.

Liao Xiaoxiao gasped rapidly, and let out a slight singing moan, Zhao Xing's hand continued to move down, ripped off the apron on Xiaoxiao's body, and raised her skirt, and then he put Xiaoxiao down on the huge desk, and quickly took off the equipment on his body......

"Ah——!h Liao Xiaoxiao shouted for a while, her face was flushed, and her black hair was messy...... After countless days and nights of waiting, Acacia was satisfied at this moment.

Zhao Xing's whole body was like a volcano that had been waiting to erupt for a long time, and under such a violent impact, it was as wild as a storm.

Just like in the case of "golden wind and jade dew meet", it can often erupt with amazing explosive power......

Liao Xiaoxiao is like a small boat submerged in the sea of desire, in the ** again and again, enjoying the most beautiful opportunities in life, flying beyond the nine heavens with her heart - she sang in a high-pitched voice, and the whole person was as warm and happy as floating in heaven......

When Zhao Xing fell into the luscest **, Liao Xiaoxiao's body squirmed violently like an insect, his lips twitched, his eyes rolled white, he screamed suddenly, and fainted.

"Can you still sing?" Zhao Xing asked excitedly.
