When he woke up, the little official came to see Chen Wen with a package.

"This is explained by the strategy and the vice-constitution."

Chen Wen thought about it, it should be the one hundred taels of silver. Then he opened the package, and a brilliant light came into view, so cute. He suppressed the idea of kissing each ingot of silver, and counted it, and there were nineteen silver ingots in all.

Nineteen?

How is this number divisible by a hundred?

I don't think my PE teacher taught me math in elementary school, right?

He looked at it carefully, and the nineteen cuties seemed to be carved out of a mold, and none of them were a little bigger or smaller than the others.

Chen Wen frowned, only to see him take out a spindle and hand it to the little official's hand.

"Mr. has been busy in the past two days, and it has been really hard. When I first arrived, I didn't have much money on me. A small meaning, not a tribute. ”

The little official hesitated, bowed down to take the silver, and thanked, "Thank you, Mr. Chen, for your generous gift." Mr. doesn't dare to be anything, the villain's surname is Hu, the second line in the family, you can call me Hu Er. ”

"It turned out to be Second Brother Hu, disrespectful and disrespectful. When I first came to your land, I hope to take care of you. As he spoke, Chen Wen bowed.

"Mr. Chen's words are serious, you are a person valued by the two officials. If there is anything you need, just tell the villain. ”

"Then thank you Second Brother Hu."

Hu Er thought for a while, as if he had made up his mind, and said in a low voice: "That's it when these silver villains take it out of the silver treasury. ”

"Oh?"

"Originally, when they gave the villain, there were only eighteen, but the villain told them that this was specially ordered by the two superiors, so they added another ingot."

Is this a solicitation of credit?

Forget it, didn't Wang Jiang promise three hundred taels of silver? Now is not the time to save money, as long as you can go to the Zhongzuo Institute, will there still be a shortage of silver?

Chen Wenqiang suppressed his anger, took out another one, and handed it over.

At this time, I saw that Hu Er pushed back the newly handed silver, and hurriedly said: "Mr. Chen misunderstood, the villain didn't mean that." Some silver can be taken, and the villain will not be polite; Some silver can't be taken, and villains will never touch it. ”

What does that mean?

"So, what does Second Brother Hu mean?"

"The villain took only nineteen minas from the treasury, and the people of the treasury have always been like this. Mr. Chen himself knows about this matter, don't talk about it with others. When you first arrived, you may not know that the ambassador of this silver treasury is the brother of Chu Jiuru Chu Zanhua. Even if you make trouble, it's useless, but you will have to be put in small shoes by them all the time in the future. ”

What is this, is it a mountain to eat a mountain and a water to eat?

Chen Wen remembered that during the Apocalypse Dynasty, whether the Donglin Party was in power or the Eunuch Party held the country, the drift of Dongjiang Town was as high as 30%, and in the Chongzhen Dynasty, the degree of drift of Liao and the subsequent salaries and training salaries for all departments of the Ming army far exceeded this proportion. If this is calculated, in the current situation, if you don't count the special explanation, this is only one percent of the drift, it seems that this Dalanshan is already very strict in the matter of corruption.

Forget it, anyway, I didn't plan to offend people for five taels of silver.

Thinking of this, Chen Wen couldn't help but sneer secretly, there are really no rules. There is no exception to those who take special care, and it is really a group of principled feudal bureaucrats.

"Thank you Second Brother Hu for reminding me." Then he gave in to the ingot of silver, but Hu Er still didn't want it.

However, Chen Wen still couldn't believe him, and then he took out some silver and begged Hu Er to help him buy a set of four treasures in the study.

After receiving the money for the purchase, and seeing that the two sides were familiar with each other, Hu Er opened his mouth and asked, "The villain has something I wonder if Mr. Chen can solve my doubts?" ”

He wanted to ask if I went to see Wang Yi yesterday? This must not be said, once this matter is exposed, a nuclear warhead will be dropped on the entire Simingshan area, and Wang Yi will definitely kill himself.

Chen Wen looked at this little official, judging from his performance in the past two days, this does not look like an imprudent person, otherwise Wang Yi and they would not be able to tolerate him. It's just that if this person really doesn't know the height of the sky, it's best to refuse in advance.

"If Second Brother Hu wants to ask about asking to see Wang Jingluo yesterday, he really can't tell him."

Before Chen Wen finished speaking, Hu Er immediately waved his hand and interrupted: "Mr. Chen, don't want to harm me, how can such a thing be known by a villain." ”

I saw him rush to the door in a hurry, open the door and look around, then breathed a sigh of relief, walked back and continued: "It's just that the villain's ancestor opened a tailor's shop, and I saw that the clothes that Mr. was wearing before were made of special materials. The villain is shallow and can't really see it, so he asks. ”

"I see, I misunderstood, and I hope Second Brother Hu will forgive me. As for this material...... Chen Wen looked at Hu Er's expectant gaze and said, "This material comes from Taixi, and it is called chemical fiber." ”

"Tessie." That Hu Er was a little disappointed.

As for it? Chen Wen remembers that chemical fiber seems to have been invented by the British in the nineteenth century two hundred years later, an era that even Europeans have never seen. There is nothing else to do with your previous clothes, you should feel that you have a long insight.

As a new young man who prides himself on being full of positive energy, how can Chen Wen tolerate this regret.

"This synthetic fiber was invented by a scholar named Leonardo da Vinci of Tessie, and he also has a painting called the Mona Lisa, which is known as the first of Tessie's famous paintings."

In the mid-to-late fifteenth century, two demonic figures appeared in the human world. One is a writer, thinker, philosopher, and military strategist of the Ming Dynasty, a master of mental science, proficient in Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism, and Confucius, Mencius, and Zhu Xi. The other is the European Renaissance scientist, inventor, painter, the most perfect representative of the Renaissance, Einstein believed that if his scientific research results were published at that time, science and technology could be 30-50 years ahead of Leonardo da Vinci.

In Chen Wen's view, such things that are beyond the times naturally need to be done by people who are themselves ahead of the times so that they will not be suspected. Since Mr. Wang is inconvenient, then there is no choice but to have Mr. Lauda.

"Mr. Chen is really well-informed, and the villain has seen a lot this time."

Isn't that right?

After a few words of greeting, Hu Er got up and left.

When Chen Wen sent Hu Er away, he saw the little servant sitting under the porch of Lu Laolang's middle room and reciting books. He had heard Lu Laolang say before that this little servant was Lu Laolang's grandson, and his parents both died in the encirclement and suppression of the Qing army in the second year of Yongli.

"Xuan'er is practicing calligraphy?"

When the little servant saw Chen Wen coming, he hurriedly got up and saluted. "Hello Uncle Chen."

"You practice yours, I'm just here to see."

"Yes." The little servant sat down again and continued to practice calligraphy.

When he heard Lu Laolangzhong call him Xuan'er for the first time, Chen Wen almost thought that his name was Lu Gaoxuan, and after trembling and asking, he got a mixed answer - Lu Wenxuan.

There's no need to face Lord Wei.

In the same way, I can't see the seven ladies of Lord Wei.

Chen Wen stood behind Lu Wenxuan, watching the child's brushstrokes scribble, just writing a Yongzi over and over again.

It turned out to be the "Eight Methods of Yongzi".

The so-called "Yongzi Eight Methods" is to take the order of the eight strokes of the "Yong" character as an example to explain the method of block gestures, which is the basic rule of writing regular script. It emphasizes that the point is the side, the horizontal is the strangle, the vertical is the crossbow, the hook is the hook, the mention is the strategy, the skimming is the skimming, the short skimming is pecking, and the pinching is the stumbling.

When he first entered the mountain, the dry food was exhausted, and Chen Wen once relied on this "Yongzi Eight Methods" to make a guest appearance as Mr. Tianjiao in a farmhouse, earning a full meal for one day and dry food for two days. But that's all, his amount of food only took one day to feed the farmer's family, and it is estimated that when Chen Wen finishes teaching the Three Character Sutra, this family will have to sell himself.

"Who taught you this?"

I only heard the child say in a milky voice: "It was grandpa who taught Xuan'er, grandpa said that this character is written, and other words will not be too ugly." ”

It's grandpa......

Chen Wen remembers that when he was a child, he went to extracurricular interest classes, and his grandfather proposed to learn to write big characters by himself. At that time, my parents wanted to devote their time and energy to learning English, after all, English was to be tested later. However, grandpa said that writing big characters can cultivate sentiment, which is more useful than learning the bird language of Nalaoshzi, and for this reason, the parents who have always been filial also quarreled with grandpa.

After his grandfather's death, without the urging of that familiar voice, he quickly spent his spare time playing basketball and computer games, and only occasionally when he was packing up his things could he find the memories of the past from the pile of old papers.

By this time, English was not recognized even by the upper classes in England, where French was more popular to speak. At this time, the majority of Europeans traveling to and from the China Sea were Spaniards and Dutch, and they could not speak English.

The English I have studied for so many years is useless all of a sudden, or I have been useless since I graduated.

"Grandpa, you're still right, writing big characters is really more useful than learning the language of the bird."

Chen Wen looked up at the sky for a long time.

………………

The second hall of the military hall of the old camp in Dalanshan.

Wang Yi and Wang Jiang listened to Hu Er's reply about sending silver to Chen Wen while eating. I only heard him say every word from the time he entered the door until he got up and left Chen Wen, just skipping the matter of the silver treasury being corrupt.

"Since he gave you these five taels of silver, you can keep them for yourself."

"Thank you for your appreciation." Then Hu Er turned around. "Thank you."

"But you have a heart, neither Jinglu nor the official noticed the material of his clothes."

"The villain grew up in a tailor's shop to notice this. Besides, this is just a trivial matter, the two adults are busy with big things every day. Since the two adults arrived in Dalan, the life of the people of Siming Mountain has been getting better and better, and it won't be long before ......"

"Alright, alright. There is no need to say anything about sycophancy. Remember today, next time you won't have to be around. At this moment, Wang Jiang's face was full of impatience, the country is like this, he is busy all day long, and he feels that he is a waste of time when he sleeps, how can he have the heart to listen to this.

"The villain wrote it down, the villain wrote it down."

"Taixi's material, eldest uncle, it seems that you and I have underestimated this Chen Furen. It's just that in the next few months, you and I just won't have time to pay attention to him. Seeing Wang Jiang smiling slightly, Wang Yi turned his head and said to Hu Er: "You go and bring Sun Yu, the warehouse ambassador of the grain depot, and tell him that the official has something to tell him." ”
