Chapter 35: Tea Talk (II)
Sun Shangxiang has been quietly watching Yuan Yun there and said lightly, to take Jingzhou and Yangzhou at the same time, if it were someone else, he would definitely be ridiculed as a madman, but now no one will understand Yuan Yun so much.
Although what Yuan Yun said was an understatement, it seemed to explode in Sun Shangxiang's ears, and she even felt that she had seen the scene of the devastation, and for the combat power of the Gunpowder Army, she had already learned from various channels, just the battle situation in the Xiliang Realm was enough to shock the world, not to mention that when Yuan Yun was dealing with the Karasuma people, with less than 10,000 men and horses, he simply dragged the 100,000 army of Karasuma in place and couldn't move.
These achievements are in front of him, even if Sun Shangxiang has not seen the battle of the Gunpowder Army with his own eyes, but he can empathize with it, and now if Yangzhou becomes the enemy of the Gunpowder Army, then he must face these, thinking of this, she even trembled a little.
Yuan Yun looked at Sun Shangxiang's shoulders on the opposite side trembling slightly, and laughed secretly in his heart, because after this beauty saw Luoyang's workshop, he believed that her trembling would become impossible to stop at all, and what the Sun family in Yangzhou would face was definitely a monster-level existence.
At this time, I saw Qing'er walking in with a plate of fruit, but after putting it down, she didn't choose to leave, but stood quietly behind Yuan Yun.
Since Yuan Yun returned to Luoyang, he likes to take Qing'er around, this little girl is now a mature young woman, the most gratifying thing is that she is very well-behaved, she can sing songs in the carriage to relieve her fatigue, and she can also serve tea and pour water outside, and she is definitely a good hand at serving people, so let Yuan Yun go to the government to do errands, or meet and chat with friends, Qing'er has always been by her side.
Qing'er is also very smart, for those political affairs, she has always been in the left ear and out of the right ear, and she never asks or cares, so Yuan Yun takes her by her side, and no one will feel inappropriate.
Sun Shangxiang squinted at Qing'er, and the other party's beauty made her secretly praise, but her attention quickly returned to what she said before, and she suppressed her sinking mood with fruit a little, and then said: "Yuan Hou has created a lot of new farm tools, I thought you were a person who thinks about the people very much, and now you would rather the lives of Yangzhou and Jingzhou be destroyed than our Sun family, I really misunderstood Yuan Hou." ”
The corners of Yuan Yun's mouth raised slightly, and said: "Regardless of Yangzhou and Jingzhou, there will be no stability in this world, and everyone will inevitably fight for me, so the long pain is better than the short pain, let the two of you surrender, or annihilate, so that the world can be peaceful in the real sense, and the people can also be peaceful in the real sense, so the girl doesn't have to use these words to provoke me, it's useless." ”
"Yuan Hou really doesn't plan to give us a way out?" Sun Shangxiang's questioning this time seemed a lot calmer, and he lost the domineering momentum of the previous generation.
Yuan Yun smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "These things are not up to Benhou to decide, the girl should understand." ”
Sun Shangxiang frowned slightly, and finally sighed lightly, and said, "It seems that there is nothing to talk about these things, so let's talk about some light topics." ”
"For example?" Yuan Yun shrugged.
"For example, talking about the favor owed by Yuan Hou, your staff has returned safely, can we take this opportunity to do some trade with Luoyang." After Sun Shangxiang finished speaking, he began to carefully look at Yuan Yun's expression.
Yuan Yun was also happy this time, and said with a smile: "I can't ask for it, this trade can be carried out until we start a war, even if you send a caravan over before this, Benhou will ensure their safety." ”
Sun Shangxiang happened to eat the pastries on the table at this moment, and couldn't help but light up his eyes, and then pointed to the plate of pastries and asked, "I heard that Yuan Houyiya's skills are also very good, is this pastry also out of Yuan's mansion?" ”
Yuan Yun glanced back at Qing'er, and when she saw the smile on the corner of her mouth, she knew that this plate of pastries was deliberately sent by her, and showing off in these small aspects has always been Qing'er's interest.
After also tasting a piece of pastry, Yuan Yuncai smiled and said, "Since the girl likes it, Ben Hou will ask her subordinates to send one every day, it's not a big deal." ”
Sun Shangxiang nodded, shook his head again in an instant, and said, "Don't be so troublesome, I have already said hello to Zheng Xuan, and I plan to move into the Yuan Mansion today, but I don't know if Yuan Hou will turn me away?" ”
Yuan Yun was stunned, he didn't expect Sun Shangxiang to make such a request, and at this moment, he finally understood why Zheng Xuan was a little indecent when he saw him today, and it was estimated that he had definitely misunderstood something.
Now the owner directly made a request, and he really didn't know how to refuse, so he could only nod and say: "In this way, let Benhou do some of the friendship of the landlord." ”
After drinking the tea, the pastries and fruits were also used, Yuan Yun naturally served as the host, so he took Sun Shangxiang and began to walk around the college, and then Yuan Yun found out that today is the day when the autumn exam begins, and it feels very strange to think about it like this, because it seems that he came to see the autumn exam today, and he actually met with Sun Shangxiang.
And Sun Shangxiang in front of her is indeed as recorded in history, she is a heroine with a lot of force, but she didn't expect the other party to look so good, and her figure looks very well-proportioned and healthy because she has been exercised, if the other party changes into gym tights, it will be very charming.
Sun Shangxiang saw Yuan Yun walking on the side, his eyes became dishonest again, and he suddenly became a little angry, so he said bluntly: "Yuan Hou looks at a woman like this, is it rude?" ”
Yuan Yun touched his nose a little embarrassed, and before he could speak, he saw that Qing'er on the side was already covering his mouth and snickering.
When answering Sun Shangxiang's question, Yuan Yun no longer dared to focus on the other party, but looked at the road ahead and said: "Today is the day of the college's autumn examination, which will determine whether many people can enter the internship period next year, which is a big deal for us in Luoyang." ”
Sun Shangxiang saw that Yuan Yun had opened the topic, and he didn't want to continue chasing and fighting, so he also continued: "Could it be that these students will also enter the workshop in Luoyang?" Isn't that tantamount to insulting them? ”
"Insults?" Yuan Yun was a little sluggish, and he figured it out in an instant, so he immediately smiled and continued: "These outstanding talents not only have to enter the workshop, but there are also special courses in the academy to teach them about the manufacture of the workshop, and this is still a hard assessment standard, whether they can enter the shogunate of Cao Ang Shizi to serve, this assessment is a must." ”
Sun Shangxiang felt a little incredulous, and muttered: "These students and literati are the hardest, how can they be willing to compromise? ”
Yuan Yun said with a smile: "Zheng Xuan, everyone has taken the lead, what qualifications do these scholars who come to study have to say not to do it, and when they really understand the meaning of craftsmen, they will devote themselves to it, in fact, among these students, they care more about whether they can be stronger than people in the same grade, as for what is stronger, they don't care so much."
The college is a good place, and under the system, people will naturally slowly devote themselves to it, which is a good side and a bad side, the good side is that it can be easier to manage people, and the bad side is that it will make some people more and more limited, but hinder their future development. ”
Sun Shangxiang listened carefully, and was not interested in the students of the academy itself, but asked very curiously: "Why did Yuan Hou tell me these secrets in such detail, you must know that we can also open such an academy in Yangzhou, wouldn't I be stealing the teacher when the time comes?" ”
Yuan Yun laughed and said: "If there are such academies everywhere in the world, Ben Hou can't ask for it, isn't it always the goal of literati to educate the people of the world, how to say it, I am also half a literati, especially the old man Zheng Xuan will also be happy about it, so if the girl wants to open a college in Yangzhou, Ben Hou will immediately give the operation of Luoyang College to the whole way, and there will be no reservations." ”
Sun Shangxiang immediately hit the snake with the stick and asked, "Then those workshop projects set up in the academy, will they also be packaged for me?" ”
Yuan Yun smiled bitterly and said, "Does the girl think that I will definitely object?" In fact, the topics of those workshops are naturally packaged for you together. ”
Sun Shangxiang was taken aback and said in disbelief: 'If you let the secret flow out like this, won't the prince of Cao Ang stop it? ’
Yuan Yun replied leisurely: "Luoyang Academy and Luoyang itself are actually separated, but here the old man Zheng Xuan has the final say, and the prince of Cao Ang must listen to him, and he can educate the people of the world, Ben Hou can guarantee that Zheng Xuan will definitely not have any reservations." ”
Sun Shangxiang immediately chased after him and asked, "Is there a problem of gunpowder and steelmaking?" ”
Yuan Yun squinted at Sun Shangxiang, and then replied affirmatively: "No, the research of those things is done by old craftsmen in Luoyang, and there are only topics such as farming on the academy's side, and there are also some handicrafts." ”
Sun Shangxiang's face was suddenly full of disappointment, and said, "What is there to study these useless things?" With such a big academy and so many outstanding students, what kind of farming can you do if you don't study more useful gunpowder and steelmaking? ”
Looking at Sun Shangxiang's disgust, Yuan Yun was very happy in his heart, even Sun Shangxiang did not pay attention to those handicrafts about people's livelihood, which is enough to prove that the Sun family does not pay much attention to it, but these things are the foundation of a country, if you only care about things related to war, then sooner or later it will become like a certain peninsula in later generations, under the leadership of ***, towards the end of the army.
After a while, I saw a group of students walking out of the school, some were happy and some were worried, everyone's faces were different, but when these people passed by, their eyes began to wander around Sun Shangxiang and Qing'er, Qing'er Many people know each other, so they are most concerned about Sun Shangxiang.
Sun Shangxiang was stared at like this, and immediately became very restrained, she was really unaccustomed to the bold eyes of the students in the academy, so she quickly vented her anger on Yuan Yun, and after sticking to Yuan Yun very closely, she whispered: "These students are also so rude, it seems that whoever will teach what students." ”
Yuan Yun shook his head helplessly, this black cauldron is actually not wronged by him, because when he and Xu Yi and Xiahou Nan came to the college before, they would always tell the students something about whether they had something to gain or not, but they never expected that this kind of open-mindedness was passed down by those students one by one, and under word of mouth, this kind of open atmosphere became even more powerful, resulting in many students now being proud of being a traitor with personality.
Looking at the beauty so boldly is also one of the inheritances that have been handed down at the beginning, and those old gentlemen from Jingzhou also made a special crusade against Yuan Yun for this purpose, and now I think about it can only be described as unlucky.
"Yuan Hou, you are actually here, according to tradition, why should you go to the kitchen to get busy, right?" Suddenly, a student howled loudly.
Yuan Yun frowned suddenly, this is also a 'fine' tradition, in desperation, he could only shake his head with a wry smile and said: "Today's dinner, Ben Hou will cook it, damn, it's cheap for you." ”
