There is a miraculous phenomenon in the Chinese calendar, that is, every 24 solar terms, there will inevitably be extremely obvious weather changes.

The third day of the second month of the eighth year of Jiayou is one of the 24 solar terms!

The drizzle was swaying and the thunder was rolling.

Xin Xi touched his head and woke up, his brain still had some pain after a hangover, and smiled bitterly, thinking that the wine in the Northern Song Dynasty was just some low-degree fruit wine, and he couldn't pour at least a thousand cups, but he forgot that his body was only seventeen years old, and it was the first time in his life to drink.

Recalling the first time I drank alcohol in the 21st century, I was drunk for a long time with a small bottle of beer, and Xin Xi was relieved.

Get up, get dressed, wash up.

The whole sky was covered with thunderclouds, and it was gloomy, and I really couldn't tell what time it was.

At this moment, the door creaked and was pushed open, and a cool, moist wind blew in his face.

Shen Kuo walked in slowly with two side dishes, and when he saw that Xin Xi had gotten up, he couldn't help laughing: "Eleven Lang woke up?" Come on, come on, eat something to cushion your stomach first! ”

A small stir-fried meat, a stack of green vegetables and tofu!

Ma De, Lao Tzu finally saw the stir-fry!

At home, Xiang'er can only cook vegetables, cabbage is boiled, greens, and all kinds of vegetables are a bowl of water and a piece of coarse salt...... In the past few days, Xin Zhen has been forced by Xiang'er to miss the school cafeteria in his previous life......

Hurriedly walked over, Xin Xi picked up the chopsticks and quickly ate them: "Hmm...... Delicious, delicious! ”

After eating for a while, Xin Xi raised his head: "Brother Cun doesn't want to eat?" ”

Shen Kuo smiled: "After eating, I thought that Eleven Lang would follow the example of the immortal Li Taibai to have a hundred poems about fighting wine, but unexpectedly, a pot was poured, it was already noon at the moment, and it was already past the time for the morning meal, and I had already eaten it." ”

……！

Xin Xi was embarrassed for a while, a pot of wine with such a low degree, he was actually drunk all night and an afternoon?

"Hehe, that was my first time drinking, which made Brother Cun laugh!"

"No, no, how dare you laugh? Eleven Lang said that he said: Beat people with bricks, and they are very happy! How dare you laugh in the next place?! Shen Kuo laughed as he spoke.

Xin Zhen was slightly embarrassed, turned his head and asked, "How is Wang Xu?" ”

"The doctor said that there was no major problem, and he had taken leave to go home to recuperate." Shen Kuo said lightly.

Then he asked: "Eleven Lang is so talented, will he participate in the scientific examination this year?" It is said that this year is the main exam of Lord Ouyang Gong again! ”

Ouyang Xiu's main exam can be described as a blessing for poor students, for example, if Wang Si is replaced, it will be difficult for poor students to enter the list......

Moreover, when Ouyang Xiu was taking the main examination in the second year of Jiayou, he gave birth to the most dazzling students in China's imperial examination for more than 1,000 years - Su Shi, Su Zhe, Zhang Zai, Cheng Hao, Cheng Yi, Zeng Gong, Zeng Bu, Lu Huiqing, Zhang Dan, and Wang Shao.

These ten people are the ten sons of Jiayou who laid the foundation of the culture and civilization of the Great Song Dynasty! And these ten people were all admitted by Ouyang Xiu during the main examination in the second year of Jiayou!

It's a pity that there is no Chinese ...... after Yashan

Xin Xi put away those complicated emotions and smiled slightly: "The patriarch asked me to prepare for the scientific examination in two years, and I didn't participate in the township examination, so naturally I am not qualified to participate in the provincial examination on the tenth day of the first month of March, let alone the examination after that......"

The Great Song Dynasty Imperial Examination basically followed the appearance of the Tang Dynasty, divided into township examinations, provincial examinations, and meeting examinations, and still had subjects such as Jinshi Branch, Ming Jing Branch, Nine Classics, Five Classics, and Three History, unlike the later Ming and Qing Dynasties, which directly abolished all the Ming Jing Subjects, and only left the Jinshi Branch.

"What about the system? The system is not affected by the three examinations, the year before last, the two bachelors of Dasu and Xiaosu participated in the examination, especially the bachelors of Dasu entered the third class, for the "virtuous and honest can speak out". What a role model for my generation! ”

Xin Zhen was a little speechless, what a terrifying thing time is, Shen Kuo, who admired Su Dongpo in his youth, will you know that in more than ten or twenty years, it will be he who will put Su Dongpo to death?

Moreover, this so-called system is just a joke, okay?

When the elderly Su Dongpo was demoted to Huangzhou, he once laughed at himself: "When I took the subject exam, my grades were very good, so I thought I could really 'speak out', but I didn't know that the advice was extinguished once, and now it is almost cool to Huangzhou......"

"I don't have this plan for the time being, wait until next year, as for this year, the family affairs are too cumbersome, and I have to deal with it, but I save my brother, are you admitted to the Shike, or the Ming Jingke?!"

The so-called Jinshi Department is about equivalent to the liberal arts students of later generations, and the Ming Jingke is about equal to the technical talents, Shen Kuo, the future great scientist, should be the Ming Classics, right? However, in the Northern Song Dynasty, the future of the Ming Jingke was not good......

Later, Shen Kuo, who was able to mix with the three envoys, was he killed from the extremely difficult Ming Jingke?!

Shen Kuo smiled when he heard this, and smiled a little embarrassedly: "Since I am a scholar, although Kuo does like the Ming Classics, he can only be admitted to the Scholar Department for the future." ”

In this regard, Xin Xi didn't say much, just smiled and said, "Come on, Brother Cun!" ”

After saying this, Xin Xi was embarrassed, the word come on...... It's embarrassing!

Unexpectedly, Shen Kuo did not have the slightest surprise, but laughed loudly: "Well, encourage you together, and Eleven Lang also come on!" ”

Hearing Shen Kuo say the word come on, Xin Zhen was extremely messy, and looked at Shen Kuo sluggishly: "Brother Cun doesn't think there is a problem with the word 'come on'?!" ”

Shen Kuo frowned slightly, pondered for a while, and said, "Isn't this word from Zhuge Wuhou's cheering for the ever-bright lamp?" Then, the word refueling slowly evolved into the current meaning of encouragement...... Is there really a problem?! ”

Xin Zhen's face was full of dementia, but then he was relieved, he used to think that refueling only appeared after the car was introduced to China from the West, and now that he thinks about it, if it really appeared because of the car, then it should not be 'refueling'. After all, the word order of Chinese and Western languages is wrong, and it is impossible for literal translation and paraphrase translation to turn English into Chinese cheering......

chatting while eating, and knowing that Ouyang Xiu Su Shi and the others had already left, Xin Xi also quickly ate his fill, and said: "Brother Cun, there is still something at home, my maid saw that I didn't return overnight, I'm afraid I'm very worried, I have to go back first." ”

"I'll send you!"

"Save the middle brother and be slow, the good student is preparing for the scientific examination, farewell!"

Out of the door, Xin Xi found that this was no longer the West Garden, but an inn, well, when he got out of the door of this attic, he looked back, Xin Xi was stunned.

Isn't this the one on the "Qingming River" that everyone jokingly called the Da Song Business Hotel'?

Looking ahead, sure enough, the opposite side is the pharmacy in "The Picture on the Qingming River" - Zhao Dacheng's house.

On the street between the hotel and the pharmacy, there is a well, and next to the well, there is a vendor holding a parasol to sell Buddhist utensils, of course, the umbrella is used to shade the sun on weekdays, but today it is used to shelter from the rain!

Looking at the various stalls arranged around the well water, while admiring these people to set up stalls rain or shine, Xin Zhen finally knew why it was called the market......

The appearance of "Picture on the Qingming River" flashed in his mind, and Xin Xi could know without relying on the vague memory of his predecessor that this place was in the west of the crossroads not far from the city, and it was convenient to go out of the city.

Turning around and walking towards the city gate, under the fluttering light rain, Xin Xi's mind began to stir up, perhaps, he should still find an opportunity to bring over the 800 acres of fertile land in Wang Xu's Xiaoniu Mountain? !

Eight hundred acres of fertile land can have 2,400 stone of grain every year!

Wait, it seems that Jiaozi has appeared in the Northern Song Dynasty, which means that commerce has developed, that is to say, capitalism seems to have a bit of a rudimentary form?!

So, why don't you get something to sell yourself?

If you have a lot of money, you can buy whatever you want, right?

Didn't "The Wealth of Nations" say that whoever controls the economy will control the world?!

Make up your mind, Xin Xi has made trouble again, what is the easiest and most profitable?

It's manufacturing!

It's a pity that he can only use all the things he used every day in his previous life......

Wait, Zhongzhou Encyclopedia!
