Half a month has passed, and there is another wine shop and a tea shop in the small courtyard of the high night. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info and Gao Ye used this half a month to find the method of making fried tea by rummaging through the library for a long time, and finally made the first batch of fried tea. Gao Ye immediately ordered someone to start production, at least, to fry all the tea leaves in the warehouse.

At the same time, Gao Ye wrote a reply letter to Cai Yong and Cai Yan, and the letter to Cai Yong was nothing more than some greetings, as well as his joy at receiving the book "The Book of Music", and then attached a list of items, saying that he was filial to his old man. There were more than a dozen carts of these things, wine, tea, paper, and some books that he copied by himself, and asked him to taste them.

As for the reply to Cai Yan, he generously expressed his thoughts, and then copied a sheet of the music score of "Liang Zhu", shamelessly saying that it was his new work and gave it to her.

After resting at home for a month, Lao Wu finally waited until Gao Ye had prepared everything, and he took the goods and these gifts, and set out on the road to Jiangnan again.

During this time, Zuo Ci and Ge Xuan have also been living in the mansion, without him, just because the two of them found that there were too many books in the library building of Gao Ye, and there were even many Taoist classics that they had never seen. When Gao Ye watched Ge Xuan reading "Hug Puzi", looking like drinking a sweet spring, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hang a strange smile. Who asked Ge Xuan to read a book written by his nephew Ge Hong? And Ge Hong, now it's a chromosome at best.

What Zuo Ci was most interested in was not the Taoist classics, but the arithmetic methods that Gao Ye usually used. You must know that as a Taoist priest, controlling the gods and measuring impermanence is the ability to watch the house. Suddenly discovered the magical effect of Arabic numerals, as a master of arithmetic, how can you not be ecstatic? With this method, the numbers of Chinese characters can be simplified, so that even complex calculations can be made much easier.

What's more, when it comes to the depths of the calculation, the most complicated thing is not the formula, but the number itself?

However, Zuo Ci and Ge Xuan are not eating rice here, after all, Guo Jia often asks Zuo Ci some questions, and Zuo Ci also answers them one by one, and even sometimes, the two of them will have some heated debates, which will naturally be of great benefit to Guo Jia's growth. Every time Guo Jia came to ask for advice or debate, Ge Xuan listened quietly on the sidelines, and occasionally expressed his own opinions.

Zuo Ci and the others lived here in Gao Ye for more than three months, and finally decided to leave. Gao Ye kept it several times, but Zuo Ci had already made up his mind. After all, the two of them came out to travel the world, and now they have been studying in the land of the Five Plains for three months, and it seems that the return date of the two is going to be postponed again. However, in the past three months, the two of them have been very happy with their progress, and it is not in vain. It's just that spring came, and now it's the middle of summer, and if you don't leave, I'm afraid that the two of you won't be able to go back to Jiangdong during the New Year.

Even so, Gao Ye was not in the way, and when the two left, Gao Ye gave him a lot of things, naturally, wine and tea are indispensable. At least Zuo Ci liked it very much, and bluntly said that this kind of roasted tea was fresh and elegant, which was suitable for cultivators like them with pure hearts and few desires.

Gao Ye also gave Zuo Ci a set of "Counting" and Ge Xuan a set of "Hug Puzi", all of which were copied and written by Gao Ye himself. Gao Ye's brush calligraphy is Yan Zhenqing's regular script. In today's world, regular script has tended to be a great success, and its representative figure is Yingchuan Zhong Xuan. Zhong Xuan can be said to be a calligraphy master, good at seal, subordinate, true, line, cursive calligraphy, in calligraphy quite attained, to promote the development of regular script, but also by later generations respected as the "originator of regular script". Together with the Eastern Jin Dynasty calligrapher Wang Xizhi, he is called "King Zhong". Yan Zhenqing is a figure in the Tang Dynasty, known as one of the four masters of regular script, and is also known as "Yan Muscle and Willow Bone" with Liu Gongquan, which shows his attainments.

Gao Yexue learned this style character, although he didn't get all his charm, but he also got five or six points, even so, it was enough to shock the world. After all, those who can make their own characters unique and integrated are all fighters among calligraphers.

Zuo Ci and the others took these gifts, and they were even more grateful, but it didn't hurt to do anything else, these two books can be said to be deeply affectionate. After all, in this era, books are precious things, let alone such out-of-print books? Gao Ye transcribed a gift to the two, and the meaning of this is really extraordinary.

Since sending Zuo Ci and the others away, Gao Ye's house has calmed down again, and in the past few months, Gao Ye's life has also been unusually fulfilling. Practice martial arts every morning, and then teach Guo Jia and Zhao Yun the two brothers, oh, you should also add Zhang Liao, the nephew of the old housekeeper Zhang. In the evening, I have to teach the families in my yard and six children. Gao Ye has a plan, and he is ready to find more qualified poor boys and teach them by himself, after all, talents can not only be discovered, but also taught.

For these children, the most lectures are about mathematics, especially what they learned in later generations, and in the mathematics class, not only these children, but also all kinds of craftsmen come to listen and learn. For nothing else, this calculation method is really much simpler than the traditional calculation, and if you learn it, you can save a lot of effort when working. In addition to mathematics, Gao Ye will also teach them some physics, geography, and the art of war. And history and literature, they are purely self-taught. After all, there is no way to teach this kind of thing about the amount of reading, so they can only read more.

Under the training of Zhao Yun, Guo Jia has also made great progress in Taijiquan, and has obtained the essence of Taijiquan with seven points. And Zhao Yun has already practiced Taijiquan, swords, and guns proficiently, and what Gao Ye can teach him now is only a variety of other martial arts in later generations. And Zhao Yun also has a general understanding of the classics of the hundred schools of thought with the help of Guo Jia. And Zhang Liao followed Guo Jia and Zhao Yun, and Wen Taowu made great progress. Zhang Liao is already gifted and intelligent, but there is no good teacher at home to teach. Martial arts, you can still learn from your father, but the art of war and cultural knowledge are really unguided. Now that I'm here at the high night, it's understandable that I've made great progress. After all, the rapid progress also comes from a low starting point.

It's late June, but the peace of life has been shattered by an uninvited guest. It's none other than Gohara Taishou. However, the current Wuyuan Taishou is no longer the Wang Zhi who was offended by Cai Yong and forced Cai Yong to avoid Jiangnan. It's a man named Du Zhan. As for Wang Zhi, thanks to his brother Wang Fu, he has become a pioneer in the land of smoke and miasma. This was a few years ago.

In the second year of Guanghe (179 AD), due to the treacherous and tyrannical nature of Wang Fu, Cao Jie and others in these years, playing with power, all inside and outside the court intervened, and Taiwei Duan Cheng catered to and obeyed them. Wang Fu's father, brother, son and nephew are unscrupulous and reckless, but they completely angered one person, and that is Yang Qiu! When Yang Qiu was doing Shang Shuling, he said, "If Yang Qiu is a subordinate, this Cao Zi can be tolerated!" That is to say: "If one day my Yang Qiu serves as the captain of Si Li, how can this group of eunuchs and cubs be allowed to run amok?" ”

Not long after, Yang Qiu was really transferred to the rank of lieutenant. Just in time for Jingzhao Yin Yang Biao to accuse Wang Fu of sending his protégé to embezzle more than 70 million yuan of public property alone in the realm of Jingzhao, Yang Qiu seized this opportunity to arrest all Wang Fu's sons and nephews in one fell swoop, and beat Wang Fu's father and son to death with whips and sticks. He also cut Wang Fu's zombies into several pieces, piled them up at the city gate to show the public, and posted a notice with the words "thief Wang Fu" written on it, and the people all applauded. Wang Fu's family property was also confiscated, and the rest of his family members were all exiled to Bijing. This comparison is in today's Vietnam, in the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was still the era of Ru Mao drinking blood.

Du Zhan is a person, Gao Ye has hardly heard his name in later generations, but he has served as the Taishou of Wuyuan for two years, and Gao Ye feels that this person is not a mediocre talent. Because of his existence, although there was no major development in Wuyuan, there was no major chaos. Even things like famine, he handled them in an orderly manner. When the Huns came to plunder, he could also lead the army to protect his people, and in Gao Ye's opinion, he was already a qualified guard.

However, Du Zan came today, but he was entrusted by Ding Yuan, so it was not easy to see Gao Ye. After listening to the housekeeper's report, Gao Ye also hurried out to greet him. Naduchan was sitting in the lobby, drinking tea. Since Gao Ye made fried tea, serving tea to guests has become a necessary step in Gao Yefu.

Du Chan tasted the tea, quite a bit of a comfortable taste. Seeing Gao Ye coming out, he also got up immediately. After all, he was an official under Ding Yuan, how could he not know the relationship between Ding Yuan and this high night? For such a person, it's better to respect him, the Wuyuan Taishou, otherwise the official will find trouble, what else will he do as an official?

After the two of them finished saluting, they sat down as guests of honor, and after greetings, Gao Ye asked for clarification.

Du Zan didn't go around the bush either, and said bluntly: "I'm the Taishou of Wuyuan, and I have often heard that there is a kind of wine called Burning Knife in Wuyuan County in recent days, and after tasting it, I really think it's wonderful." I don't want Lord Shi to call me the day before yesterday, saying that this wine is made by Childe. I was about to return to Beijing to report on my work, and Lord Assassin Shi intended to pay tribute to the current saint, and specially ordered me to come to Gongzi to discuss. ”

When Gao Ye heard it, he knew that this was Ding Yuan paving the way for himself. Now he has raised filial piety and has the capital to be an official, but after all, he is still in the period of filial piety and has not been outstanding. If this wine is given to the emperor, the emperor will be happy. After all, when it comes to Emperor Liu Hong's favorite, beauty comes first, and wine comes second. Don't you see, can the palace maids in Liu Hong's palace only wear open crotch pants? It is for the convenience of the emperor's house. Liu Hongxingfang is not picky about places, as long as he is interested, he can be anywhere.

When the emperor knows a person, after this person enters the officialdom, it will inevitably be smoother. Although Gao Ye has now made up his mind to chase the Central Plains, the old man's love for himself has to continue. What's more, the world is still in chaos now, and the Yellow Turban Rebellion will be a few years later, so you still have to have a good relationship with the emperor.

Gao Ye immediately smiled and said: "It is my blessing to pay tribute to fine wine, and if Your Majesty likes it, it is also my blessing." Uncle Ding is too, what can be done by writing a letter, why bother to work for you to be too dignified and condescending in person. ”

After Gao Ye agreed to pay tribute, he also praised Du Chan a little bit, after all, Du Chan is his own parent official, and his posture is low, you can't kick your nose in the face, and it is right for everyone to lift the sedan chair.

However, this Du Zhan is also a master who fights snakes and sticks, and when he hears Gao Ye's consent, how can he not hurry up and finalize his heels? Then he said: "I want to leave next month and send tribute wine to Beijing, I don't know how many catties my son can prepare?" If it's less, I'm afraid it's not good. ”

Gao Ye said with a smile: "If you set off next month, you can have five hundred catties if you want to come, I don't know what to do if you are too conservative?" ”

When Du Zan heard that there were 500 catties, he immediately relieved himself. It's good to have 500 catties, haven't you seen how expensive this wine is sold outside? A pound of wine costs a full five dollars, and on the grassland, I heard that a pound of wine can be worth a good horse. This kind of day-to-day gold business, Gao Ye gave himself 500 catties for nothing without saying a word, which can really be regarded as generous.

Du Zan and Gao Ye negotiated the wine, but they set their eyes on the tea leaves, "Childe, I came today, and I tasted the tea in your house for the first time, it is really different, is this also made by Childe?" ”

"It is precisely this method of tea that I found from ancient books, and it is very different from the previous tea preparation method. It is not allowed to be boiled when drinking, no spices are added, and it is only brewed with boiling water, which can be drunk, and it is also made not long ago. ”

"Although there is no variety of spice flavors, it is fresh and elegant, and has a unique taste. I don't know Childe..."

"Eh, Lord Taishou doesn't have to see outside, just call me Mingxi."

"Well, well, that's disrespectful. Mingxi, I think, how about even paying tribute with this tea? ”

"It's okay to pay tribute, but there are not many teas, and when you pay tribute, it's only a few dozen catties."

"It's... Will a few dozen catties be too little? ”

"In fact, if you talk about drinking, every time you make tea, you don't use much. For people like me who drink tea every day, one pound of tea can drink for three or four months, and these dozens of pounds of tea are a lot. It's just a tribute to the royal family, and I'm only a few dozen catties, I'm afraid that it won't look good on this face. ”

"Not bad, not bad. Too little, it seems that we are not sincere. It's better not to pay tribute. ”

"In fact, in my opinion, it is better for me to choose ten catties of the best tea, when the Lord gives it to His Majesty, don't say it is a tribute, just say that it is a little bit of your heart, and I will not blame the Holy One. Since it cannot be changed in terms of quantity, it is better to put more thought into this quality. ”

After listening to this, Du Zan also nodded secretly, and said in his heart that this method is not bad. I only heard Gao Ye say again: "Since your lord is going to leave next month, I will start preparing for your lord in the past two days." ”

"So, thank you Mingxi."

"Haha, why do you bother to say thank you, don't say that it's my Uncle Ding who asked you to come to me, just to your lord, you are doing the Five Plains Taishou, and I can't refuse what I and other people do."

Du Zan and Gao Ye exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then got up to say goodbye. Things are going so smoothly that Du Chan is relieved. Before leaving, Gao Ye brought some tea and wine to Du Zhan, and carefully explained to Du Zhan how to brew this tea before sending Du Zhan out of the door.

Gao Ye looked at Du Zhan's back in the distance, and sighed slightly, fortunately, he has a lot of reserves of this wine in these months, otherwise, he will give him Du Chan 500 catties next month, but I am afraid that in the hands of his three shopkeepers, he will not have to sell a pound of wine.

I don't know what kind of mentality Liu Hong will have after tasting tea and wine? Because Gao Ye suddenly thought that Liu Hong's third hobby is money. If he knew that he was now relying on tea and wine to make money every day, would he be jealous and have to take this money-making business into his own hands?
