Chapter 4: Autumn Comes and Twilight Cold (II)

Kaifeng City, which is approaching September, is a rare good time of the year.

At this time, the temperature is not high or low, the sun is soft and gentle, and a few white clouds reflect the height and breadth of the blue sky on the blue sky.

There is no spring ash and dust, there is no unbearable summer heat, and the cold winter of dripping water into ice cannot be compared.

Wang Pan didn't want to turn his leisure time into voluntary labor, and on such days, it was easy to find some random people to drink and indulge. But he is still followed by his own sister, and he can't call his friends to drink. can only accompany Wang Yi, who can rarely leave the house, and left his own footsteps in several of the most prosperous commercial streets in Kaifeng City.

"This official, do you want a candied ringo? The sugar and fruit are of the highest quality. ”

I don't know when Wang Bi and Wang Yi have already stood in front of the vendor who bought the candied confectionery.

looked at his sister who nodded to him from behind. I heard Wang Yi persuading him: "Second brother, bring one back for the second sister-in-law...... The second sister-in-law happens to like sweet and sour things now."

In response, Wang asked the vendor to dispose of it and prepare to wrap it up and take it away.

Wang is very idle now, so he can accompany his sister to go shopping.

My father and eldest brother are busy with official business every day, although after my father became the prime minister, he got the shade supplement, and he also has a Beijing official body - Taichang Temple Taizhu of Zhengjiupin. But it's as idle as his sister.。

The shadow supplement will not be sent until he is twenty-five years old, and the king will be idle for two years. If you want to come out in advance to do things, you must either be admitted to a Jinshi, or you must get the special purpose of the Son of Heaven.

How can everyone be like Han Yukun? Compared with the eldest brother who was easily admitted to the Jinshi, Wang Bi was even more ashamed of himself.

Wang Hou glanced back at his sister, if Han Gang really became his brother-in-law, plus a big brother, then he really had nowhere to stand at home.

The peddler handed over what Wang Hou wanted, "Four candied Lin Yu strings, the person should end the twenty-four pennies!" ”

Wang Bi's hand that was pulling out the money bag from his cuff froze suddenly: "Isn't it a four-piece of Wen?" Although he can't care about this little money, he can't do it if he is deceived.

"In a few days, Lin Yiguo will be changed to an official sale, and of course the price will rise." The hawker is justifiable.

"How can the confectionery be changed to an official sale?" Wang Bi shook his head in disbelief, "Even if you want to change the official sales, but the market law has not been implemented yet, why have prices risen so much?" ”

"Where does the villain know about this?!" The peddler said unhappily, "The villain only knows that the sugar used for pickling in Langdao is expensive, and this Lin Kuo fruit is also expensive." The villain also has to eat and support his family, so he can only go with the market and the market has risen! ”

"What's going on?" The king wondered.

"It's not the prince who is making trouble." An idler sitting on the side suddenly interjected, "Change the name of the Qingmiao Loan to the name of the convenience loan, and the joke will not be mentioned." There is a law to protect the armor, and there is no stop in the township in winter. Now it's the city law again, and all the money is earned by the government, and it can't give us a way to live! ”

Beside the idle man, one of his companions immediately covered his mouth: "Be careful, there are people from the Imperial City Division!" ”

Wang Bi turned his head and glanced at Wang Yi, and the faces of the two brothers and sisters had turned pale.

The road is boiling with eyes, public grievances, and other idioms, like marquees, flow through the minds of the two.

"How did it come to this?!"

……………………

The same problem also appeared in Zhao Ji's mind, the city law has not officially started to be implemented, it has already made the capital uproar, if it is officially implemented, what will the situation become?

According to Lu Jiawen, although the purpose of the Shiyi Law is to accumulate and collect, it is to seize the power of pricing and selling in the hands of the leaders of the major guilds. The implementation of the law will transfer the interests of wealthy merchants to the government, and will not affect the lives of ordinary people and small traders.

In this way, he got Zhao Ji's approval.

However, the current development of things has deviated from the prediction that Lu Jiawen made to the Son of Heaven in advance.

According to Feng Jing's statement, this is because the people heard that the government was going to buy all the commercial goods, which made the people in Beijing panic, so the price of goods rose again and again.

And Lu Jiawen on Wang Anshi's side said that this was because the profiteers in the capital deliberately spread rumors in order to prevent the implementation of the market change law, causing panic in the market. In other words, it is now the heads of all parties who are coming together to raise prices in order to incite public resentment against the imminent implementation of the market law by the imperial court.

But the accusation that Lu Jia asked was too damning, and Zhao Ji didn't dare to believe it.

Once he believed this accusation, he ordered Kaifeng Mansion and Yushitai to go to poverty. It is bound to become a major case involving dozens or even hundreds of wealthy businessmen in Beijing. And the marriage between the wealthy merchant and the clan, Zhao Ji is very clear, if he really makes such an order, thousands of clans will almost come to him to cry and mourn.

"Wang Qing, are you talking about the implementation of the City Easy Law or not?"

"The arrow is on the string, how can you not send it?"

Although Wang Yan answered happily, he still had a headache about the matter of changing the law.

It has been almost a year since the City Law was proposed, but in order to be able to implement this law smoothly, Wang Anshi has made people go through several tests. The dossier went back and forth. But no agreement was reached. Although it has been decided that it will be officially implemented in October - this is also the kindness of the Son of Heaven. Because after October, the weather turns cold, and the Bianhe River will be blocked, and the bulk goods will be able to earn half a year's money from then on. After the beginning of spring next year, it will become money and flow to the yamen.

But after all, something happened. The aura that was originally brought about by the great victory of the river has now dissipated. The courtiers now know that during this period of time, the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager have repeatedly persuaded the Son of Heaven for the sake of the city's change of law.

Zhao Ji gritted his teeth and never let go of his grandmother's and mother's requirements.

And Wang Yan also knows that as long as he takes one step back, he will step back step by step.

Among the three divisions of Renzong in those years, there were many redundant officials, and there were more redundant officials. Prime Minister Du Yan ordered the three officials of Sha Tai, but the three officials who heard about this immediately spread rumors and expanded the scope of Sha Taixu officials in one fell swoop, which angered many officials in the yamen. These officials attacked in groups, and finally forced Du Yan to sit still in Beijing, so he could only invite himself out. In Wang Yan's opinion, if Du Yan insists on going his own way and arrests the leader and deals with it strictly, he will not end up going out.

Du Yan's results are admonishing.

Probably because Zhilu Dao couldn't get an unbiased argument from Wang Yan's mouth, Zhao Ji had no intention of asking further. Instead, he casually asked, "How is the situation of the Jingzhong exam?" ”

"It's time for the list in a few days. Whether it is Zhang Shangying or Pu Zongmeng, who was invigilated in Kaifeng Mansion. is still Zhang Hu and Li Ding, who are invigilating the exam in Guozi, they are now reviewing the exam papers overnight, and they will not miss the time for the release of the list. ”

Zhang Shangying, Qian Zao and other five people examined the Kaifeng Prefecture to raise people, and Zhang Hu, Li Ding and other six people examined the Guozi supervisor. In terms of the proportion of candidates admitted to Gongsheng, Kaifeng Prefecture and Guozijian are about the same as Shaanxi, far stronger than the one percent and one percent of the two percent in Zhejiang and Fujian.

"Qin Fenglu's solution should also have a result." Zhao Ji sighed.

Wang Yan paused for a moment, the test with the road as the main body, that is, the lock hall test. He asked rhetorically, "...... What His Majesty wants to say is Han Gang? ”

"Yes. I also want to see how much talent Han Gang has. Zhao Ji nodded, but said with a smile: "Han Gang seems to have always refused to admit that he is a disciple of the Medicine King, but now he has even taken out the means to treat the woman's dystocia, and the identity of Sun Simiao's apprentice is afraid to be confirmed." ”

Wang Yan's surprise was written on his face: "There is such a thing?!" ”

"Gao Zunyu's concubine had difficulty giving birth the day before yesterday, and she didn't come out overnight, if it weren't for Han Gang having made forceps and forceps out the child in the womb, most of them would be the result of one corpse and two lives. This is mentioned in the monthly report sent back. In the private message sent back by Gao Zunyu, he also said it. There will be no fakes! ”

“…… In the "Qianjin Fang" written by Sun Simiao, there are three volumes of gynecology. Since he studied medicine, he could not avoid the two subjects of pediatrics and women. ”

The one in charge of the delivery was the stable woman among the three aunts and six wives. Listening to Zhao Yan's tone, he still admired Han Gang in this matter, but Wang Yan didn't like it. Although he helped Han Gang speak, Wang Yan always felt that Han Gang had overdone.

"Two lives saved. Save a life, win a seventh-level floating slaughter. If the forceps he invented can save pregnant women with difficult births in the world, they will be better than many pagodas. ”

Zhao Ji rustled on the fallen leaves, wandering in a red and yellow grove. As the Son of Heaven, what he values is naturally the household registration. A single forceps can save countless lives in danger, which is equivalent to saving the population that would otherwise be lost.

If it comes to the five leaks of a woman's body, the mother is the most, and the people have avoided it. But the legend of the doctor's parents, Bian Que, Hua Tuo, these ancient famous doctors, also has stories of treating women with difficult births.

What Han Gang did, Zhao Ji was very happy to see.

……………………

The autumn colors are getting thicker, and looking at the cogs and maple trees in the mountains not far away, people can already feel the chill brought by the thick late autumn.

Han Gang had already returned to his home in Longxi at this time. And with the proof that he has become a present Kogong student.

Relying on this document, Han Gang could directly be taken care of by the rank of an ordinary official in the post station of the official mansion. And when he went to the center of the Great Song Dynasty, he could also get the same general courtesy.

Han Gang didn't care about these superficial preferential treatments. In the past, he never suffered less, and what he hated was that power was taken away, and it didn't matter if he was courteous or not.

He was anxious about something else now.

For the exam, Han Gang was used to not seeing outsiders, but the people around him kept waiting.

Han Gang came back from Gongsheng, which meant that he had finally waited for the long-awaited day.
