Of course, Bi knew what Wang Ping'an meant, and it was natural that a big business should be considered, and it would be strange if Wang Ping'an gave away a large amount of interests at this time. After all, their Zhao family doesn't have a deep friendship with Wang Ping'an, and the last time they did a single medicinal herb business, they also showed distrust, which will leave a bad impression!

Wang Ping'an explained some more things, such as how to use the high price to collect medicine, so that the local people understand that the medicinal material "mountain paint" can be exchanged for money, so they began to search and excavate, where to find the medicine first; Then gradually reduce the purchase price, forcing the people to start artificially cultivating Panax notoginseng, so that a stable source of goods will be formed, so that a large number of Panax notoginseng can be purchased, enter the Central Plains medicinal materials market, and popularize it.

Although Zhao Biqi is a gentleman, but for these business means. I still have some understanding, and even put forward a few suggestions. Wang Ping'an wrote a letter, sealed ** to Zhao Bi, together with a piece of Sanqi, and sent someone back to Xuzhou to hand it over to Zhao Zuo.

There was nothing to say that night. Early the next morning, Wang Ping'an got up early and went straight to the left-behind mansion. Along the way, I heard a lot of people talking, talking about yesterday's military parade, but the people don't care about the soldiers' drills, they are tired of watching the drills once a season, they are talking about who cured General Wei's eyes, and as a result, 100,000 soldiers and civilians lost money gambling together!

Wang Ping'an listened to it funny. Wei Zhenyuan's hand is really amazing. Others called him a tearful lady, and he endured it until the last moment, and as a result, 100,000 soldiers and civilians were defeated, and the people of the whole city also knew that he was no longer a tearful lady, but a catty, ruthless man!

Arrived at the Left-behind Mansion. Wang Ping'an asked Feng Ningrong to accompany him to the White Horse Temple, Feng Ningrong happily agreed, put down his official duties, and personally accompanied him to the White Horse Temple?

To the White Horse Temple. I saw that Nian Ku was already waiting outside the door, wearing a big red robe, and behind him stood the monks of the temple, it seemed that they were all waiting for this exciting moment!

After entering the temple, the ceremony is simple, but it is not as cumbersome as imagined. Wang Ping'an held the "Tripitaka Sutra" in front of the statue of Shakyamuni, read a passage excerpted for him by Nian Ku, and told him some allusions in Buddhism. He was given a Dharma name, and the monks of the temple then recited the Buddhist scriptures in unison, and the ceremony was completed.

Since then, Wang Ping'an has the identity of a lay disciple of the White Horse Temple, which is a very advantageous identity in the Tang Dynasty, if you want to win the trust of your family, you only need to say that you have been inspired by the Buddha in the ancestral court of Buddhism, then the family will often believe that he is a good person. Of course, this refers to the general situation.

Wang Ping'an held a couplet given to him by Nian Ku in his hand, and he was amused in his heart. How could a lay disciple have this, he always thought that only a monk who was officially ordained had it. I even have a fake monk myself!

His Dharma name is called Nian Sorrow, which means not to forget the sorrows of the world, but to always think about the world and solve their problems.

After the ceremony, the feast was held, Wang Ping'an and Feng Ningrong were invited, and the allusions to Buddhism were talked about, and the famous places in Luoyang were talked about, and the atmosphere was also harmonious!

After the matter was completed, Wang Ping'an and Feng Ningrong returned to the city, and there was nothing else in the next few days. Wang Ping'an with the help of two little girls. sorted out a hundred commonly used medicinal diet recipes and handed them to Yin Jiuyan. Let him engrave and print.

He meant to come out with a thinner book first, so that the price of the book was also cheap, first, to test the water first, and secondly, to wait for him to go to Chang'an, carefully sort out, before it was officially published. This approach is more rational and safer, after all, medical books are no better than others. Once something goes wrong, it will be a terrible thing, so Yin Jiucheng naturally agreed, and praised Wang Ping'an for doing things properly.

Luoyang and his entourage, it took more than half a month, Wang Ping'an and Mi Xiaomiao discussed it, and decided to get up and rush to Chang'an. told Feng Ningrong what he meant, and Feng Ningrong kept it very much, hoping that he would stay for a few more days. But I was afraid that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would wait for a long time, so I gave up.

It's early in the morning again. The convoy to Beijing set off again, leaving the ancient city of Luoyang, and marching towards Chang'an, Feng Ningrong and Wei Zhenyuan personally saw them off.

Wei Zhenyuan gave Wang Ping'an a saddle again, and lost another 30,000 yuan of bets, which was not bad at all, but it is conceivable that he should have made a lot of money in that big bet.

Rush in the middle of summer. Naturally hard, fortunately the time is not too tight, the car travels less than fifty miles every day, gets up late and rests early, and slowly marches to Chang'an, but more than ten days, it comes to Chang'an!

Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty. It is not that Chang'an in the Han Dynasty is a city, but in the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Wen of Sui ordered the construction of a new capital city planned by Yu Wenkai next to Chang'an City in the Han Dynasty, named Daxing City. After the fall of the Sui Dynasty, Tang Gaozu still used Daxing City as the capital, but changed the name to Chang'an.

The area of Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty was very large, nearly ten times the area within the ancient city wall of Xi'an City, and nearly twice the size of the Yuan capital. It is forty percent larger than the city of Beijing in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and if it is compared with the famous foreign capitals, then the city of Chang'an is seven times larger than the city of Rome!

The center of the world, the city of gold, is synonymous with Chang'an City in this era!

Wang Ping'an and others came from the east, so they naturally had to go through the east gate, and the one they chose was Yanxing Gate.

There are about more than 30 miles away from Chang'an City, and you can already see the prosperity, and there are many villages and towns outside the city, so much that it is not like it is outside the city, and it is almost the same step as in Xuzhou City!

Wang Ping'an finally saw the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty now, and saw that the avenue was smooth, there were countless cars and horses on it, and there were so many merchants with accents from all over the world that it was impossible to count. His convoy is not small elsewhere either. But compared with other convoys entering Beijing, it is nothing.

entered the vicinity of Chang'an. He saw three or four large caravans of more than 500 people alone, and even saw one of the large caravans of more than 1,000 people, and the business was so prosperous that if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, of course he couldn't believe it.

Mi Xiaomiao is a native of Chang'an, and he temporarily became a guide, and he smiled at Wang Ping'an: "No disease, is this the first time you have come back to Chang'an?" Have you been here before? ”

Wang Ping'an thought to himself: "Aren't you talking nonsense, how many times have I said along the way, I haven't been out of Xuzhou before!" He replied with a smile: "This is the first time I've come back." There are many things I don't know about Chang'an, and I would like to ask Master Mi to explain it to me in detail. ”

Mi Xiaomiao was waiting for this sentence, and he smiled: "Then do you know what the world is?" ”

Wang Ping'an hurriedly said: "I understand this word, the world is the meaning of time, the world is the meaning of space, and the word world is the sum of all things in heaven and earth, and we live in the world."

Mi Xiaomiao smiled again: "Then where is the center of the passing world?" ”

Wang Ping'an pointed to the city wall in the distance and said, "It's here."

Mi Xiaomiao laughed, shook his head and said, "Everyone knows this, you just pull someone on the street." Ask him where the center of the world is, and they will say that it is in Chang'an. To the tide is. Where the hell is that center in Chang'an? Wang Ping'an thought: "It should be on the central axis of the city, under the emperor's seat, when the capital city was built, it must have been planned like this!" He pretended to have a blank expression, shook his head and said, "I don't know, this catty is really small, you explained it for me, where is the center point?" ”

Mi Xiaomiao went to ask other people again, Hamiti and the others naturally knew, even Qiu Tingxuan, Zhao Bi and others knew, but everyone was the same as Wang Ping'an, except for Qiu Tingxuan's face did not change, everyone showed a blank expression on their faces, and asked one after another: "Where is it, I really don't know this, please explain to Master Mi." ”

Mi Xiaoxuan said triumphantly: "I really have to ask Benyaren about this." Because only Ben-sama has seen it! ”

Meng Xiaotian said: "My brother and I have also seen it!" ”

Meng Datian pulled him and said with a smile: "The two of us are not people, Master Mi doesn't need to count us in!" ”

Wang Ping'an grinned. How to say this, it is too modest. If you two weren't human, what would have become of us?

Mi Xiaomiao said: "Where is the center of the world?" Naturally, the emperor is there! Where is the emperor, it is naturally at his feet! At the feet of the Son of Heaven, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, what is said is this catty, meaning

Everyone snorted in unison, expressing their insight. If it weren't for Master Mi's explanation, they really didn't know that the foot of the Son of Heaven was referring to the center of the world!

Talk about it. Sycophants flying. After walking for a while, they came to the land of ten miles of the city.

Qiu Tingxuan rushed to Wang Ping'an's side and said, "No illness, I have something to say to you, take a step to speak." ”

Wang Ping'an said in a low voice: "What's the matter." "And he left the brigade and walked by the side of the road.

Qiu Tingxuan said: "Chang'an is right in front of you, after entering the city, where do you plan to rest?" ”

It turned out to be a question that for others it was necessary to consider where to live, but for him it was not difficult at all. Wang Ping'an said: "Lord Wei Chi gave me a house, located on Suzaku Street, I first went to his house to ask for the title deed, and then moved in." ”

Qiu Tingxuan frowned and said in a low voice: "Brother Fool has a saying, I don't know whether to say it or not." ”

"But it doesn't hurt to say it." Wang Ping'an slowed down the horse, looked at Qiu Tingxuan's expression, and estimated that what he said was not a good thing.

Sure enough, I heard Qiu Tingxuan say: "I advise you not to live directly in Lord Wei Chi's house, I am doing this for your good." Before leaving, my father told me a thousand words. Wan instructed, saying that after entering Beijing, before seeking a confidant. You can't get involved with any of them, because I only need to be in a relationship with one party. Then others will no longer recognize me as a confidant, and the party involved in the relationship does not necessarily have to praise me, there are so many young talents, who cares about whom? ”

The side he was referring to was the faction above the court, although under the rule of Li Shimin, the faction of the courtiers was not obvious, but there was also an undercurrent surging, maybe when it would be able to make a wave, everyone understands this, and there is no need to point it out directly.

Wang Ping'an hummed, shook his head and said, "This is not a problem for me, I am taking the medical exam." If you don't enter Shiko, you don't need to seek a confidant, and it doesn't matter who you have a relationship with! ”

Qiu Tingxuan said hesitantly: "Brother Wang Xian, to be honest, I used to be very jealous of you, and I was afraid that you would be admitted to the Shike. One more opponent. But people's minds are always changing, I can prevent you from a pound, it's easy, but how can I prevent people all over the world? ”

After a pause, he was a little embarrassed, but he still said: "With the guarantee of Lord Wei Chi, Lord Niu and Lord Feng, you can directly enter Shangshu Province to report, in other words, even if you don't take the exam, you can enter the Imperial Medical Department at the least." Since the back road is wide, why don't you rush forward, or take the Jinshi exam, maybe you can really be the leader! ”

Wang Ping'an immediately cried and laughed, he ate a few taels of dry rice by himself, others don't know, he doesn't know, if he wants to pass the exam, it is impossible, even ordinary Jinshi He can't pass the exam!

Seeing Wang Ping'an's thoughts, Qiu Tingxuan said, "Brother Wang Xian." How many times can people be beautiful in their lives, you have to try, right? When I was in Xuzhou, the old man in your family was right with you, it is indeed a bit unrealistic for you to be admitted to the Jinshi, but things have changed, and now your name is loud enough. When others seek confidants, they must kneel on the side of the road and carry a name roll on their heads! But what about you, the prince took the initiative to be your confidant, what are you worried about, what else do you need to worry about? ”

Wang Ping'an's brows furrowed deeply, in his heart, in fact, like ordinary people, he had also fantasized about high school and crossing the streets. But I don't have any foundation, at most the handwriting is better, but the champion can't just rely on handwriting to look good, then you have to have actual skills. What skills do you have, except for the skills of prescribing medicines, you have nothing!

He sighed. said: "Thank you Brother Qiu for your kindness, but I still like to do things with confidence, so let's take the medical exam honestly!" I know you're doing it for my good, thank you, thank you! ”

Qiu Tingxuan also sighed and said, "You got the invitation of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, which means that you have gained his favor, and you have cured Lord Feng's mother, and you have also received his support, and getting their support is equivalent to the support of Lord Eldest Sun!" With the support of the current minister, you alas, I have always wanted to talk to you about these words along the way, but I felt a little utilitarian, and now Chang'an is in front of me, so I have to say it. It's up to you to decide what to do! ”

After speaking, Qiu Tingxuan shook his head, beat his horse and walked away.

Wang Ping'an's spirit is a little trance, should he really give it a try, how many times can he fight in life

Someone was shouting in front. Hamiti shouted, "Hurry up, everybody. Be in good spirits, we're about to enter the city, let's go into the city for dinner, don't delay outside the city! ”

Everyone was excited, shouted, and drove the cart to the city, Wang Ping'an thought about things in his heart, and gradually fell behind. After a while, there was no one behind him except for the little guard and the little girl's carriage!

Wait until you get to the gates of the city. After crossing the suspension bridge, suddenly, someone shouted: "Chang'an, I'm in Chang'an!" Changan. I'm coming! ”

Wang Ping'an looked around, and saw a young scholar, holding an umbrella in his hand, dancing at the gate of the city, shouting loudly!

Ouyang Li and the others laughed and said: "This person must be the first to enter Beijing, that's why he is so excited, but shouting like this at the city gate is a big disrespect, I think he will be unlucky!" ”

Just as he had said, the guards at the gates were furious, and one of the soldiers shouted, "There will be one every few days." Those who shout and scream, don't be ashamed! ”

Several soldiers rushed up, and they were about to drive the scholar away and let him go to the side to cool off!
