The women of the Tang Dynasty were very powerful, if they didn't express it, maybe they would really come to the door, and it would be embarrassing at that time, Han Rui touched his nose and said with a flattering smile: "You have worked hard, I naturally have something to say, change it to a banquet, personally make amends to them, and each person will have a box of good rouge from the Western Regions, so it's always okay." ”

"There's no need to change it, March 3rd, Shangbian Festival, skirt feast, you just need to come." Zheng Nao said with a smile.

Han Rui was stunned and hesitated: "Skirt banquet, isn't it only for you women to participate?" ”

"That's the case, but it's your words, but everyone has no opinion." Zheng Naoyo smiled: "They think that if there are more than one man, it should be easier to carry a bag and build a tent." ”

"It turned out that I owed a servant to be a coolie." Han Rui smiled bitterly.

After laughing a few words, Zheng Naoyue said softly: "Husband, yesterday, we fell in love with a suitable house again, but the owner didn't plan to sell it, but was willing to rent it." ”

"Well, what's the matter, the price can't be negotiated?" Han Rui asked.

Zheng Naoyue shook his head slightly, and said softly: "The owner of the family is a businessman, settled in Luoyang, used to often come to the capital to do business, simply bought a homestead, built a house, but did not live for long, and had to travel to other places, all year round, did not come to the capital a few times, maybe he was reluctant, or he was going to move to the capital in the future, so he only planned to rent it, killing two birds with one stone." ”

"That's it." After thinking about it, Han Rui immediately decided: "If it is suitable, then rent, and we will sell a piece of homestead land and build a mansion by ourselves." ”

"Okay." Zheng Naoyue said happily: "When you go, just ask a Mr. Yin and Yang to accompany you to see if the feng shui is auspicious." ”

Han Rui laughed dryly, last time he refused Li Tai's kindness and didn't buy Gu Yin's house, the excuse was that he had just entered the officialdom, but the owner of the house was retired, this is not a good sign, it is very far-fetched, but Zheng Nao asked them to believe it, and they didn't have any opinions at all, and they looked for the house again, which made Han Rui very ashamed, now, there should be no accidents.

"Where?" Han Rui asked, deciding to inquire clearly, so as not to make excuses again.

"Anyi Fang." Zheng Naoyue said with a smile: "The place is good, not far from the imperial city, and next to the East Market, the house is also spacious, similar to the last time, but it lacks some of the charm of the south of the Yangtze River." ”

"Don't care about the charm or something." Han Rui waved his hand and smiled: "I'm used to it, it doesn't matter if it's there or not." ”

With beautiful eyes shining and longing, and having his own thoughts in his heart, Zheng Nao asked with a light smile: "Husband, where are you going to buy land and build a house?" ”

"Next to Qujiang." Without thinking about it, obviously thinking about it clearly, Han Rui said directly: "The scenery there is beautiful, the climate is pleasant, after building a house, it should be good to retire there." ”

Holding the hand of the son, growing old with the son, Zheng Nao's eyes are like water, bit by bit, full of long affection.

At dusk, the boiling Qujiang banquet ended, and the performance of the princes in the banquet was either truthful, or added oil and vinegar, and in an instant, it spread all over the city, and caused a heated discussion, but the most talked-about thing was naturally the stone stele.

I don't know how many people's dreams are left in history, even if thousands of years later, they have become a cup of loess, but the name is often recited by the world, such as the ancient sages, emperors and generals, and even leaving only one name, it is a hundred times better than leaving nothing.

Now, those new imperial examinations, easy to do this, I heard, after a while, the imperial court will give them what to publish the record of the imperial examination, write a book and set up a biography, famous, after a while, and through the selection, become an official, it can be described as fame and fortune, such a good thing that ordinary people dream of, actually get it with their hands, how not to make people envious, jealous and hateful, I am afraid that even the eyes are red.

Although the Tang Dynasty was still martial, the people were fierce, they fought in the army, worshiped the marquis, and graced the descendants, but it was the ambition of the teenagers, but the homes of ordinary people, from the turbulent era, for the marquis and the prime minister, the danger of the surname is too high, I hope that the children and grandchildren can be safe, not to seek wealth and glory, but to wish the family health and nothing to do.

However, if there is a chance, without any danger, you can get ahead, presumably not many will refuse, thinking of the persuasion poem written by Han Rui, and seeing the Qujiang banquet, the scenery of the new imperial examination, some people, also moved to let their children and grandchildren, read and write, and participate in the imperial examination.

As for the scholars who participated in the imperial examination this year, but accidentally fell behind, they held their breath and decided to go home, study angrily, and make a comeback next year...... In their eyes, those are just small fights, and they don't have much influence at all, so there is no need to care, it is Li Shimin, who pushed the boat down the river before and promised to hold a Qujiang banquet, which is nothing more than taking the opportunity to win the hearts of the Langshi people, in fact, there is not much importance in their hearts.

It's not that I despise it, but I think that a group of small people, even if they soar in the future and rank in the court, it will be ten or twenty years later.

Naturally, there are also some people with long-term vision and clever thinking, but it can be seen that in the Qujiang banquet, the people who benefited the most were not the examiners Chu Liang and others, but the school secretary Han Rui, who single-handedly advocated the implementation of this matter, and it was a complete success, not only to achieve political achievements and official reputation.

On the surface, the most grateful person for Dade must be Li Shimin, the son of heaven, but who is actually it, everyone knows it, and it can be vaguely predicted that the current imperial examination is an official, and after twenty or thirty years, with their help, Han Rui's future may be unlimited.

No one can be sure of what will happen in the future, but now, hearing the report of Chu Liang and others, especially the opening remarks and sycophants, Li Shimin's eyes have two more smiles, and the highest level of flattery is not to say it directly in person, but to talk behind the scenes, and it reaches the ears of the parties, and the effect is more significant.

"This matter is well done, Zhu Qing has worked hard." Li Shimin said, satisfied in his heart, and was about to reward him, but he found that Han Rui was missing, and he couldn't help but ask strangely.

Some officials below are very envious, although the Son of Heaven is virtuous, and there has always been a clear distinction between rewards and punishments, but the courtiers who can make the emperor remember the name, the impressive courtiers, and the speed of promotion are very fast, this truth is known to the world, obviously, Han Rui is such a lucky person.

"Back to Your Majesty, Han Xiaoshu has gone to publish the Dengke Record." Chu Liang said: "Do you want to summon him?" ”

"Not necessarily." Li Shimin said, he felt even more satisfied, Han Rui's resolute and dedicated surname is very much in line with his wishes.

After a compliment, he sent Chu Liang and others away, meritorious service must be rewarded, and there must be punishment, this is the creed pursued by Li Shimin's life, but it cannot be used indiscriminately, this matter can be called meritorious, but it can also be said to be his own work, between the two, after all, when the imperial examination, he has been rewarded in kind, and now he is verbally commended.

At the same time, Han Rui, who missed Li Shimin's verbal commendation, ran into a little trouble.

The person in charge is a scribe, tall and thin, with a dignified appearance, he seems to recognize Han Rui, and he bows very politely and receives him warmly, and when he hears the purpose of Han Rui's trip, he didn't say a word, he directly agreed, and in front of Han Rui, he recruited a few craftsmen and instructed them, regardless of whether they were free or not, they would solve the matter of Dengkelu first, and then do something else.

This performance, although a little flattering and flattering, Han Rui felt very comfortable, and asked the name of the scribe, surnamed Ma Minghao, who was originally the commander of Longmen County, Gyeonggi, but unfortunately bribed the official and planted it in the hands of the eldest grandson Wuji, and was degraded to a minor official.

From the local county master, demoted to a small official, Ma Hao's mood can be imagined, his heart is naturally unwilling, he has always wanted to get the original position, but he has no way, for Han Rui, who has been in the limelight in recent years, of course he understands, Xingyang Zheng's son-in-law, such a big thick leg, sent to the door, how can he not hug.

Naturally, Ma Hao will definitely not be ugly in the past, he will not mention it, he only cares about flattering and currying favor with Han Rui, hoping to climb the line of the Zheng family and restore his glory. However, concerned about the engraving matter, Han Rui didn't notice Ma Hao's abnormality, he just felt that this person was a little enthusiastic, took a sip of water, and asked casually: "How long will it take to print three hundred and sixty copies." ”

"Three is enough." Ma Hao hurriedly said.

Han Rui was surprised: "So fast? ”

A little embarrassed, Ma Hao said shyly: "But it will take some time to carve the board." ”

"That's right." Han Rui nodded, this year, printing is only in the initial stage of carving and printing, purely handmade, printed books of about 10,000 words, just lettering, it takes several days of effort, not to mention the long time, after engraving, the set of templates is useless, and it is a shame to waste.

Therefore, in order to promote the rapid development of Datang's cultural undertakings, Han Rui decided to contribute his meager efforts to give the gospel to the world's readers, and also to make progress and enterprising by the way, Han Rui muttered in his heart, even movable type printing has been contributed for free, if he doesn't give himself a promotion, I'm afraid even Li Shimin himself will be embarrassed.

In fact, Han Rui also wants to open a movable type printing workshop, the problem is that in the early years of Zhenguan, there were too few readers, especially fewer people who could afford to buy books, besides, Han Rui is now wrapped in 100,000 yuan, and the idea of making money from business is also weak, so it is better to use the power of the imperial court to implement movable type printing, which may be beneficial to the people.

Seeing that Han Rui was suddenly silent, Ma Hao was panicked in his heart, and said cautiously: "Han Xiaoshu, if you are in a hurry, I will tell them to carve ...... at night."

Estimating the number of words in the next Dengkelu, Ma Hao gritted his teeth and said: "Within ten days, the engraving will be completed, and then it will be printed in two days and bound into a book for you." ”
