Three days later, in the early morning, an unfamiliar visitor came to the courtyard.

Qian Jin took a sip of tea from the teapot and looked at the person opposite, but found that his eyes were very raw. The person who came was a young scholar, about twenty years old, wearing an old green cloth gown, tall but very thin.

"Qian Shi said, contemptible Li Shiyin, a person from Jiangxi." The young scholar spoke first.

"Oh, where is Jiangxi?" Qian Jin could hear that his grandfather was a fellow villager, so he couldn't help but be curious.

"Jiangxi Pyeongchang Mansion." Li Shiyin went straight to the point: "Qian Shi said, I have already worshiped under Master Yang, and I should call you the third senior brother." ”

When Qian Jin heard this, although he was shocked in his heart, his face was expressionless, and he only asked, "What evidence do you have?" ”

Li Shiyin stood up and praised: "Knowing good and knowing evil is conscience, and doing evil for good is a thing." ”

Qian Jin was relieved when he heard this. This ode by Li Shiyin comes from the first sentence of the opening chapter of "New Gewuxue". When the money entered and exited the Pyeongchang Mansion, the second senior brother Song Tianxue used this sentence as a code. Even if outsiders get this sentence, they don't know it very well. Therefore, there is no doubt that this Li Shiyin is his own classmate.

He got up and grabbed Li Shiyin's arm, and with a warm smile on his face, he asked, "It is really gratifying that Master Yang has accepted a high apprentice. But I don't know what Brother Li ranks? ”

"Qian Shi said that you can call me junior brother. I'm ashamed to say that I didn't see Master Yang before I came to Beijing, and it was the second senior brother Song Tianxue who accepted the apprentice on my behalf. Li Shiyin replied.

Qian Jin didn't hear the news of Yang Shi, so he couldn't help but feel a little stunned. It's been more than a year since I was separated from Master Yang, and I don't know where he is now. Originally, Yang Yinghe was thin, and he usually didn't take care of himself, so I don't know how he is doing now.

Li Shiyin saw that Qian Jin was silent, so he said: "Senior Brother Song said that you don't have much foundation in the capital, so let me come to help you." I wanted to settle down in the capital and come to visit again, but I didn't want to hear that my senior brother was the top student in high school during this time, and a few days ago, I was so angry that I vomited blood at the Yangmei Poetry Conference. I couldn't help but come early. ”

Qian Jin smiled and only asked, "Have you ever participated in the exam?" ”

"When I was in Jiangxi, I sat down with my senior brother and discussed. Senior brother said that the new Gewuxue is a thaumaturgy, and it can create hundreds of millions of people, and I deeply believe that. Last year, in the autumn of Jiangxi, I originally got the first place, but after I met Senior Brother Song, I broke off the idea of trying. Since there is such a thaumaturgy, I still go to the examination and I am a little bit of a sacrifice. ”

Qian Jin patted Li Shiyin on the shoulder, but was speechless. The dignified Jiangxi Qiuqiu was the first, and he was actually fooled by Song Tianxue to give him a hand. It seemed that he could only make up for it by being kind to this junior brother in the future, so he asked, "Where are you settled now?" ”

"Temporarily live in the Jiangxi Township Hall."

"I still have a few vacant rooms here, why don't you move in with my junior brother?"

Li Shiyin pondered for a moment and said, "Don't say goodbye." The capital is not as good as the place, and now the senior brother is a celebrity, if someone knows about my relationship with you in the future, I am afraid that someone will take advantage of it. ”

Qian Jin thought about it, and what Li Shiyin said also made some sense. Not long after he came to the capital, the population of his family had been investigated by the emperor. There are many spies in this capital, and if you meet someone on the way, maybe it is a spy from Jinyiwei or Dongchang.

Thinking of this, he took out two gold ingots from the inner room and said, "Senior brother has just come to the capital, so he must have used a lot of money everywhere, so you can take this silver first." ”

Li Shiyin didn't shirk it, took the ingots and stuffed them directly into his sleeves.

Qian Jin looked at it and appreciated it greatly. If this Li Shiyin shirks left and right, he will inevitably have a contempt. You must know that the biggest characteristic of your own discipline is that you don't talk about these false etiquette, you have to eat what you should eat, and you have to take what you should take. At present, Li Shiyin's style has a bit of Yang Yinghe's shadow.

After Li Shiyin packed up the ingots, Zhengse said: "Senior brother, I had some consideration before I came. There are too few disciples under us, and in the future, if we want to carry forward the new Gewuxue, the most indispensable thing is people. While it hasn't been long since the palace trial list was released, we should also recruit some talented people. ”

"What's your plan?" Qian Jin asked.

Li Shiyin thought for a moment and said, "The poor students who are not on the list are the key. These scholars came to the capital to participate in the examination with their families, but after failing the list, they were afraid that they would not even be able to return to their hometowns. Most of them will find an errand in the capital, or become a master in a wealthy family, or act as a bookkeeper for a wealthy businessman, in order to take the exam three years later. ”

"According to you, these poor students may accept the new Ge Physology?"

"Most of the poor students are from farmers, artisans, and military households, but they are the most down-to-earth. If the new Gewuxue wants to be carried forward, only these people can rely on it. ”

Qian Jin heard this and thought so. The capital is multi-faceted, walking dogs and fighting cocks all day long, and eating delicacies from the mountains and seas every day, but "only know its taste, but do not know its source". If you talk to them about the way of things, I am afraid that you will play the harp to the cow.

It's just that Chen Guo strictly forbids forming a party for personal gain, and if the emperor knows that he has recruited so many scholars, he is afraid that it will be difficult to argue at that time. Thinking of this, Qian Jin said with some concern: "I, Chen Guo, ban friends, and when the time comes, the court will investigate it, but I am afraid that a group of people will be innocently implicated." ”

"Senior brother is extremely worried. I thought about it for a while, and it was best to use the name of the Restoration Society. The Restoration Society has a long history in the Chen Kingdom, and it was also convenient for His Majesty to observe the people's feelings at the earliest. Senior brother has now become the Son of Heaven's attendant, and when the time comes, he can lobby His Majesty to reunite and reunite. Since Your Majesty has established the country as 'Renwu', he must also hope to make a difference, and these little things should not be difficult. Li Shiyin replied.

Hearing these words, Qian Jin's evaluation of this junior brother rose a few points.

Now is the time when he is short of people. It takes people to open a winery, and it takes people to open a tailoring shop. Although there is Jin Taiming and Silkworm Niang to help him, Silkworm Niang is a woman, and Jin Taiming only likes wild history biography. When Ding Wei comes back, the manpower of the workshop must not be worried.

What he lacks most now is actually a staff officer. Qian Jin is not interested in the affairs of the court, he is most concerned about how to make a lot of silver. But now that he is a servant of the Son of Heaven, he will always have to make suggestions on the affairs of the court in the future. I don't know where Song Tianxue found such a genius for him, it's really a godsend.

"Senior brother...... Brother? Li Shiyin next to him saw Qian Jin in a daze, so he couldn't help but scream twice.

Qian Jin came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Let the junior brother see the smile, just a little distracted." I think this matter of re-establishment is feasible, but this matter still needs to be contacted by the junior and junior brothers. At that time, the junior brother will report the amount of the required expenses, and I will solve the matter of the silver taels. ”

Li Shiyin listened to it and said with a smile: "Senior brother doesn't have to worry about the silver, it won't cost a lot of money to form a restoration society." It won't take long for these poor students to find their own livelihood, and we just need to convene regularly in the name of lectures. ”

When Qian Jin heard this, he couldn't help but slap his hands and praise: "Senior brother is really a divine helper." ”

Li Shiyin couldn't help blushing a little when he heard Qian Jin's appreciation, and said, "Senior brother smiled. Senior Brother Song said that if the new Ge Wuxue should be carried forward, this heavy responsibility has to fall on the head of Senior Brother. I'm just doing my best. ”

"Hey...... Our subordinates are all people who don't want to be officials, but they just pushed me out to be an official. Qian Jin said abruptly.

Li Shiyin listened to it and smiled without saying a word.

…………

In the palace, Dai Xiaoru was crying to the young Emperor Renwu.

Since the Yangmei Poetry Club, it has been rumored that he was so angry that he vomited blood by the new champion. It's really a good thing that doesn't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles. He couldn't hold his old face, so he dragged his still somewhat weak body to kneel outside the Chengtian Gate, asking to see His Majesty.

Emperor Renwu was also in a dilemma. On one side is the descendant of the master, and the other is the champion hand-picked by himself. The descendants of the master naturally want to take care of it, but the palace examination has only been released for less than a month, and if he punishes this new champion, it will be equivalent to a loud slap in the face.

"Little Caigua, what do you say about this?" Emperor Renwu didn't want to take the ball, so he kicked it directly to Gonggong Cai.

Gonggong Cai racked his brains, thought about it left and right, and finally spoke: "Back to Your Majesty, Mr. Dai and Qian Shi talked about poetry, and they didn't use force. The minions thought it would be better to reconcile the matter. ”

Emperor Renwu nodded heavily when he heard this, and said to Dai Xiaoru: "Sir, what Xiao Caigua said is very reasonable. Why don't you make a big thing small? ”

When Dai Xiaoru heard this, he immediately burst into tears and said, "Your Majesty, that kid was extremely humiliating to me at the poetry meeting." In my opinion, where can this kid write poetry except for shrews scolding the street? “

Hearing this, Gonggong Cai next to him reprimanded: "Sir, don't talk nonsense, this Qian Jin's poetry talent was personally tested by His Majesty." How can you be allowed to talk nonsense here? ”

Emperor Renwu waved his hand and said, "That's it, sir, please retreat first." ”

That generation of filial piety did not receive a positive reply from Emperor Renwu, although he was unwilling, he could only bow down and retreat.

Seeing that Dai Xiaoru was gone, Emperor Renwu asked directly: "Little Caigua, what do you say this should be done?" ”

"Your Majesty, you might as well give Qian Shi a few more months of leave, which can be regarded as a punishment for him, and an explanation for this generation of filial piety."

"That's fine. It was only going to give him a month to play. Since this generation of filial piety wants an explanation, let the money go into play for another three months. Emperor Renwu said stupidly.

If Qian Jin heard this, it is estimated that he would jump to his feet with joy. What he lacks now is not only money, but also time.
