There were two people in the temple, one sitting, the other standing.

"Taishi, yesterday Daoist Liu helped me make a hexagram, saying that there will be a bad star and a lucky star will be born, I am having a headache, you help me see, where is the evil star, and where is the lucky star?"

Naturally, it was Daojun Emperor Zhao Ji who was sitting, and the other was Cai Jing. At this time, Zhao Ji looked depressed and looked at Cai Jing expectantly.

"Your Majesty, the minister doesn't understand the heavens, so it's not good to say, but I have some things to present to Your Majesty, and after reading these, maybe Your Majesty has a judgment." Cai Jing said respectfully.

"Oh, what is it? Present it quickly. Zhao Ji said curiously.

Cai Jing instructed the eunuch to bring in a few large boxes, and after opening them, one by one objects were placed on the table.

Soap, soap, candles, canned food......

Zhao Ji almost knew all of these objects, and a batch was purchased in the palace, but he was a little blind in the back.

"What are these?" Zhao Ji asked, pointing to some kitsch gadgets.

"Your Majesty, this thing is called perfume, sprayed on the body, the fragrance fills the nose, and it lasts for a long time."

Zhao Ji opened a bottle and smelled it, and sure enough, as Cai Jing said, the aroma hit people.

Cai Jing continued: "This thing is called a biogas lamp, and it is as bright as day after use. ”

Zhao Ji asked: "Can it be verified?" How about candles? ”

"In order to verify, the minister installed a lamp in his home, and it is true, compared to a candle like a bright moon to a firefly." Cai Jing replied.

"Oh, there's this, that's a good thing, let's put some lamps on the palace too."

Cai Jing promised.

Zhao Ji asked again: "What is the cost of this thing?" Can it be promoted? ”

Cai Jing replied: "This thing is installed in every household in Feng' County, and the cost is not high, and it is more economical than candles." ”

"It's new." Zhao Ji exclaimed, suddenly, he seemed to remember something, and asked, "You said that this thing is from Feng' County, which is where that Kochi County is located?" ”

"Exactly." Cai Jing replied and pointed to some books and said: "This is the "Great Song Dictionary", which integrates the words of the three sets of rhyme dictionaries of "Guangyun", "Rhyme" and "Collection Rhyme", and uses a new pinyin method to phonetic, through pinyin retrieval and radical retrieval method, it is very convenient and fast. By the way, he also uses a kind of Arabic numeral to write page numbers, which looks intuitive. Here are three books of Mongolian studies, for the "Three Character Classic", "Thousand Character Text" and "Hundred Family Names", they are all annotated with pinyin, which is very convenient for beginners. ”

Zhao Ji was surprised, and picked up the "Great Song Dictionary" and read it.

Cai Jing was afraid that he would not understand it for a while, so he stepped forward and briefly explained the method and principle of use, and even the use of page numbers.

"Wonderful! It's a wonderful idea! Zhao Ji couldn't help but be amazed.

Cai Jing said: "Your Majesty, this book is only the first version, and it has not yet been published, and please ask Your Majesty to decide the title of the book." ”

When Zhao Ji heard this, Long Yan was happy, and said: ""The Great Song Dictionary, this name is good, so use this name." ”

Cai Jing immediately said: "Please also ask for the title of the royal pen." ”

Zhao Ji was in a happier mood after hearing this, and immediately picked up the pen and personally wrote down the four words "Great Song Dictionary".

But as soon as he finished writing, he came back to his senses and asked, "Who made this up?" ”

Cai Jing replied: "Zhixian Gaofeng sent someone to compile it, but it was indeed his idea to use pinyin and numerals. ”

"Is him again?" Zhao Ji asked, "Could it be that all these objects are made by him?" ”

"Exactly." Cai Jing replied, "Not only that, but also these mud pond wines, fruit wines, stele wines, folding fans, plastics, and some that cannot be brought, such as printing presses, textile machines, etc., are also his doings, even this "Three Character Classic" is also his first creation, and even more, there are some classic poems flowing out. Of course, he is also the founder of the development strategy. ”

Hearing this, he glanced at the things in front of him again, and Zhao Ji suddenly asked, "Taishi, why do you say this Kochi County is so magical?" ”

"The minister doesn't know this, but the minister knows one thing, that is, these objects, any one of them is enough to go down in history."

"In other words, the fact that he can take out so much shows that he is a genius." Zhao Ji continued.

"Your Majesty thinks so too." Cai Jing replied, "By the way, Your Majesty, this is a recent excerpt from Kochi Prefecture, which indicates that the set goals have been achieved in the first year. Not only the canals were dug up, but also the financial revenue reached 2 million, at the same time, the people became richer, the people became more progressive, agriculture was more prosperous, the workshops were more vigorous, commerce was more standardized, and the order was more orderly, and the county had begun to show a good situation of stability, unity, and hard work. ”

"Hmm!" Zhao Ji nodded, obviously very satisfied, he suddenly said, "The literary style is first-class, the magic skills are first-class, the county is first-class, Taishi, do you say that this Kochi County is the lucky star?" ”

"The minister did not dare to say anything about this." Cai Jing hurriedly responded.

Zhao Ji didn't get the answer he wanted, but instead laughed, and he suddenly said: "Fuxing may not be extraordinary, but luck must be good." ”

There is another sentence that he did not say, but it has been contained in his words, that is, this luck must also be able to bless him, otherwise it cannot be called his lucky star.

Cai Jing didn't answer his words, but opened the last box unhurriedly. There was nothing else in the box, just a slightly smaller one.

This box is not very large, but it is very delicate compared to the others. Made of sandalwood, the gold lock is completed, and there is a layer of baking paint seal along the crack of the box, and there are extraordinary things inside.

"What's inside?" Zhao Ji asked in surprise.

"I don't know." Cai Jing said.

"Huh?" Zhao Ji was unhappy, you don't know what's in it, you dare to hold it over? But he still asked, "Where did this thing come from?" ”

"Kochi Prefecture ordered someone to send it, saying that His Majesty needs to personally inspect it." Cai Jing replied.

Looking at the items on the table, and then at the exquisite box, Zhao Ji decided that the contents of the box must not be simple, otherwise, Gao Feng would not have sent it so grandly, so he said: "Taishi, open it." ”

Cai Jing obeyed his fate, took out a golden key from his body, quickly opened the golden lock, removed the sealing mud, and gently lifted the lid of the box.

Seeing the contents of the box, Zhao Ji and Cai Jing were dumbfounded at the same time, and both of them stared at it tightly, as if they were afraid that it would run away.

After a while, Zhao Ji finally asked with trembling lips, "Where did this thing come from?" ”

"Your Majesty doesn't know." Cai Jing replied.

Surprisingly, this time Zhao Ji was not dissatisfied, he just asked: "Didn't Kochi County explain?" ”

Cai Jing hurriedly searched for it in the box, and sure enough, he saw a note, so he picked it up and handed it directly to Zhao Ji, he didn't even dare to look at it.

Zhao Ji took the note, and after reading it, he laughed out loud: "Providence is like this, my lucky star has been found!" ”
