Autumn was approaching, and the capital became tense for a while, and it seemed that even the air it breathed was different from the past, revealing anxiety and uneasiness.

The number of people patrolling the streets has increased markedly, the shouting of restaurants and inns has begun to become loud, and the people who sell so-called subjects are hiding like rats.

The small boats of Sanshui County delivered rice grain and meat to the capital one after another.

The businessmen were happy and helpless, and if they changed it to last year, they could sell it for more money, but this year, it is said that Zhang Xiaobao said that whoever dares to raise prices by more than 10 percent should not blame him for being polite.

I don't know whether the rumors are true or not, but in line with the idea of preferring to believe that they have something rather than believe that they don't, the businessmen in Chang'an secretly shed tears while controlling prices, and with the continuous ups and downs of the cost of purchases, they promptly adjusted the degree of profit increase in the sale of goods or rental houses, and maintained it at between 9.5 and 10 percent.

"I didn't say that." Zhang Xiaobao, who heard the news, looked very aggrieved when faced with the Chang'an businessman's careful control of the additional increase in profits.

"You said it." Wang Juan had just returned from her mother-in-law and mother-in-law, and she had a lot of velvet thread in her hands, and she was assigned the task of knitting scarves for her three younger siblings, and asked Zhang Xiaobao to help support the thread, and she was so good that she could be wound into a ball.

Zhang Xiaobao raised his two arms, and moved back and forth with Wang Juan slightly, and the velvet brush fell down, and said: "Why do I say that the price rise is also temporary, and to what extent?" Profit overflow of 30 percent has peaked, and consumer demand is on the table.

The students' food and lodging are all provided by us, and I have brought things from Sanshui County, do I need to stand up and threaten others in person? I haven't done that yet. ”

"Then you go and clarify, in the newspaper." Wang Juan gave an idea.

"My clarification will be misunderstood as encouragement, they dare to increase the increase in profits to more than 100 percent, no, I have to find the person who spread the news, if it is a businessman, I will let him close the door, if it is an official, I will let Xiaobei and them go to his house to talk."

Wang Juan quickly finished a circle, changed it again, and asked with a smile: "As for it, you still have to seal people for sale." ”

"As for, it's too much, someone clearly wants to roast me on the fire, do you think, my Zhang Xiaobao's words can be more effective than the imperial decree, what else do you want the imperial court to do? I have nothing to say and speak, it's all solved, but the problem is that the full strength of the speech doesn't seem to be on me, but on Li Longji.

I can determine the livelihood of Chang'an in one word, and can I win the championship in another word? After a while, he accompanied me into the palace and looked for Li Longji to investigate, but I pulled people out, and I couldn't sleep well. ”

Zhang Xiaobao said angrily, and passed the words to Xiaobei, who saw that there was work to do, and seemed eager to try.

Today, Li Longji did not hold a court meeting, and the amount of money for the bumper harvest in various localities was already in place, and the money collected by the government was deposited in the local Datang money village, and part of the grain was put into circulation, and part of it was collected and liquidated, and the tax revenue was counted at more than 135 million guan, nearly 30 million guan more than last year.

There is money, so when Li Longji was in a good mood, he went to the Royal Zoo that was built at the beginning, devoted himself to the cause of scientific research, and took the corn he tried to grow in his own one-third of an acre of land for two big dogs sent from distant Tibet, wanting the two dogs to change their eating habits.

Other dogs can eat porridge, but he doesn't believe that the two dogs in front of him can't.

When Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan came to find it, they couldn't help but praise the two dogs in their hearts.

It's so beautiful, it's too powerful, you don't need to stand up, just on all fours, you can be as tall as a person's waist, with long hair all over your body, a big head, a nose is a nose, and an eye is an eye, if you have to find an animal to compare, then it is more similar to the lion in Africa.

"Is this to get them to believe in Buddhism? Starting a vegetarian? Two earth dogs, strange and pitiful. Zhang Xiaobao drew an inverted cross in front of him with his hand and said pityingly.

Wang Juan nodded: "The earth dog should have a more specific name, how about you call it a Tibetan mastiff?" ”

"It's called Tang Mastiff, it is estimated that someone fed the meat before Li Longji came in the morning, otherwise he would have roared early."

Zhang Xiaobao looked at the two Tibetan mastiffs and glared at Li Longji with his eyes, trying his best to endure and not let himself laugh, in his eyes, the two Tibetan mastiffs were average, because they were not as good as the black dog and his children who Wang Juan saved in Luzhou.

Li Longji threw out ten handfuls of corn kernels, and when he saw that the other party didn't eat them, he slapped his hands twice in disappointment, turned around and saw Zhang Xiaobao and the others, and said with a smile: "Fan dogs are really different from ordinary dogs." ”

"Actually, it can also make them vegetarian, it's just a little hard." Zhang Xiaobao proposed a possibility.

Wang Juan glared at Zhang Xiaobao.

Li Longji waved his hand: "Forget it, a vegetarian dog is not a dog, you two are not studying at home, and you want to see the new animals?" ”

"Your Majesty, there has been a rumor recently that I am not allowed to let the price of Chang'an fluctuate too much, but I didn't say that." Zhang Xiaobao was aggrieved.

"I know, I said it." Li Longji admitted it very shamefully.

"Huh?" Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were stunned at the same time, the culprit was found, but unfortunately the palace door could not be sealed, and the effect of Xiaobei's arrival was estimated not to be too great.

"Xiaobao, you two are too worried, I am afraid that the price of goods in Chang'an will be too much, so I came up with this clever plan, and it will work." Li Longji looked very proud.

Zhang Xiaobao didn't answer, and turned his head slightly to look at his godfather, Gao Lishi.

The idea is very clear, 'Can I still let prices go unchecked?' ’

Gao Lishi glanced at Li Longji, Li Longji nodded his head slightly, and Gao Lishi said: "Xiaobao, recently, a Japanese envoy has come to the court, going to the princes, saying, Zhang Xiaobao can determine the Tang Dynasty with one word, and the people only hear Xiaobao's name and do not raise the reputation of the emperor.

Your Majesty will help them, let your reputation show again, wait for the time to come, all the people who should take the lead come out, clean up in one fell swoop, the achievement is really remarkable, a lot of people have jumped out, Xiaobao Your majesty is still there, look at the price control, it is really wonderful.

If the premium cannot exceed 10 percent, the businessmen will be able to steadily set the increase at between 9.5 percent and 10 percent, saving them worry and effort. ”

What else can Zhang Xiaobao say, silently acknowledging the fact that he was used as a tool, but he was still a little unconvinced: "Your Majesty, why don't you say it in your own name?" Are you afraid that you are not as good as Weichen? ”

"Cut, I'm not as good as you? I'm afraid that Xiaobei and they won't have time to study, as soon as I speak, I'm afraid that there will be officials below who will make personal gains, and Xiaobei should jump up and down to arrest people, I don't want to go to the court, Xiaobei and others tied up a group of officials from eight to nine grades to come to Hanyuan Hall to wander. ”

Li Longji pursed his lips with a vivid expression, looking like I am good for your younger brothers and sisters.

Zhang Xiaobao thought about it, this is really the case, his own words are considered a civil force, Li Longji said that it is called a policy, with a policy, there are countermeasures, the better the policy, the better the countermeasures.

And Xiaobei has just finished her enjoyment, her heart has not calmed down, when she sees something, of course she has to take care of it, she has no other channels to deal with officials, so she can only drag it to Hanyuan Palace, is Hanyuan Hall a place to deal with petty officials and officials?

blame the official who had to be caught by Xiaobei, Li Longji cleaned it up so ruthlessly, he couldn't blame Xiaobei, so he had to put his anger on the arrested official, even if it was a small matter, he had to go to Shang'an, otherwise he would be sorry for the name of Hanyuan Palace.

"In this case, the minister is relieved." Zhang Xiaobao plans to go back so that he can teach his younger siblings.

Zhang Xiaobao wanted to leave, but Li Longji stopped him: "Xiaobao, let's have a meal together at noon, recently the people in the zoo said that there are too many animals in number, just for watching, there is no need for a large group, the cost is huge, eat a few first." ”

Zhang Xiaobao looked up at the sky, thought deeply, and after a while, he didn't reply to Li Longji's words, and pulled Wang Juan together and muttered quietly.

After muttering, he turned back to his senses and said to Li Longji: "If there is no one else at noon, just pick a big one and slaughter it, and the others are useful." ”

"What's the use? Winter is coming, the animals that eat grass are not easy to feed, I really feed fresh grass, the price of grass is more expensive than meat, I also want to ensure profits, the money from the zoo belongs to me, I plan to build a garden after the spring next year. ”

Li Longji attaches great importance to his private money, mainly because there is no opposition from the minister to spending it, and he wants to know that Zhang Xiaobao can find a way to make new private money under the condition of ensuring the current profits.

Zhang Xiaobao glanced at Wang Juan, and Wang Juan motioned for him to come. So he said: "Your Majesty, in fact, animals don't have to be raised by the zoo. ”

"And who's going to pay?" Li Longji pointed to a pavilion not far away and asked Zhang Xiaobao to go over and speak slowly.

The zoo is closed today, and there is a stove in the pavilion, which is not cold at all.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan sat next to each other and began to introduce Li Longji.

"Your Majesty, in the past, it was a fee for admission, and there were also things on animals and birds, such as hair and feathers, etc., and some animals would be slaughtered, frozen, and sold to those who wanted to eat in portions, plus the cost of vendors, it was quite simple to support the zoo.

Now that the scale is getting bigger and bigger, it is not good to kill too much to sell, so the minister discussed with the juanjuan, which means that the juan is raised by others at the expense of others, and there are two methods, one is naming.

For example, a panda, find a beautiful one, no name, water and clouds to pay, call it haha, it is called haha, by Xiaobei pay, it is called hehe, then it is called hehe, write who pays in the place where the name is displayed, it is considered an advertisement. ”

Li Longji pondered for a moment and nodded: "Okay, the second way." ”

"The second is for those who really like animals, and the animal is sold to him alive, and the first thing to sell is a sum of money, and it belongs to him, and the problem of food and shelter should also be solved by him, but he can't just take it home and raise it.

To continue in the zoo, he can build a 'house' for his animals at his own expense, stuff the animals in, stipulate that he can have the power several times a month, let the keeper take the animal out and follow him to a safe place to play.

He needed to pay a fee to the person who raised it, that is, to the zoo, so his identity was revealed, and when he was fine, he took two camels to go shopping, and attracted countless eyes when he landed. ”

Zhang Xiaobao talked about the second method he and Wang Juan researched.

Li Longji and Gao Lishi thought about it for a while, the former method felt that it was okay, advertising, and the money spent was not unjust, as for the latter .......

"Xiaobao, the second method seems unreasonable, people buy it, why don't they let people take it home? If he continues to watch it in the zoo, does he also have to collect some money? I can't bully people, no. ”

Li Longji thinks it's unreasonable, and there is another sentence he didn't say later, that is, I am really short of money, why should I care about scattered people to ask for it, and let you Zhang Xiaobao take it, do you dare to take it? It's better to bully others than to stare at you.

Wang Juan took over at this time: "Your Majesty, it's different, he can't raise it, he can raise it himself, and if he says that he wants to raise his own death, he won't sell it."

When I was in the local area with Xiaobao, I saw the matter of raising cattle, some wealthy families bought cattle, and they always raised them to death, and I don't know if the feng shui is not good, or I can't find someone who can raise them, and finally survived, and the cattle have lost weight and can't work.

And they found a man who was a good breeder of cattle, and when they could not bring him into his house, they put the oxen in his house and raised them, and a dozen or so oxen, enough to plough a large piece of land, and to be not only responsible for the fodder, but also to build a barn in the man's house, and then to give the man a sum of money. ”

"What if you die?" Colliers asked.

"It depends on what I said before, if it is compensation, then it will be compensated, but if it is compensation, the wages given by the cattle will be higher."

"Try it and see if anyone wants to buy it." Li Longji was tempted, if he could sell half of it, it would be a lot of money.

Afraid that others would not want to buy it, Li Longji beckoned to a palace maid, called someone closer, and asked: "You heard what Fang just said, I ask you, my zoo, sell your animals, are you willing to buy it?" ”

The palace maid looked a little nervous, shook her head, and nodded: "Your Majesty, slaves and maids can't be sold, slaves and maids want to serve Your Majesty, if Your Majesty really sells, the slaves and maids want to order a tiger on behalf of the second uncle's family." ”

"Your second uncle?" Colliers asked, puzzled.

"It's a six-grade military attaché, usually has nothing to do, likes to go out hunting, and when someone else goes out to buy, he also goes to the second uncle's house to see, the second uncle likes to come to the zoo, like tigers."

The palace maid told her what she had done wrong, and looked at Colliers nervously.

"Oh~!" Li Longji bowed his head, he didn't care whether the palace maid secretly left the palace or not, it was not a strange thing, everyone knew it, and they couldn't investigate it now, otherwise who would dare to tell the truth to themselves.

Ignoring the palace maid's mistake, Li Longji said to the palace maid: "Find someone to send a message to your second uncle, tell him that from today, the zoo will sell animals to the outside, and if you want to buy them, let him go to the zoo to talk to the person in charge." ”

The palace maid nodded again and again, and carefully retreated to the position just now, with a nervous and excited look on her face.

Zhang Xiaobao knew that a tiger had been sold, and the second uncle of the palace maid got the news, even if he didn't want to buy it, he had to pay for it, and he had to go to the zoo to buy the first animal, that is, the tiger he wanted, before everyone else.

As for how much it is worth, I can't say, it is worth 500 guan, and the cost of shipping and catching the tiger is about the same, or even less than 500 guan.

said that it is worth 50,000 yuan, which is not expensive, you can say to others that the emperor was the first to think of him, and then sold him a tiger and took it out, and others looked at the face of the tiger, and it was no problem to mention the four grades to his grade.

Li Longji's first transaction was completed, he was very happy, and glanced at Gao Lishi, Gao Lishi understood that he wanted him to take care of the palace maid just now, there was not much reason, just a good mood.

"Xiaobao, I heard that Xiaobei and they are going to build an amusement park in Hongnong, can they make room to raise animals?" Li Longji began to sell to Zhang Xiaobao.

Zhang Xiaobao owed forward: "Thank you, Your Majesty, Xiaobei is willing to build a beautiful place in Hongnong, so that Your Majesty can transport the surplus animals over, and half of the profits will be used to pay for the construction of the site, and half will be given to the zoo in the capital." ”

Li Longji thought that there was a loss, half of which was missing, and discussed: "How to settle the labor cost of breeding?" ”

"Let's let Xiaobei come and tell Your Majesty, Your Majesty rest assured, Xiaobei doesn't care about money, 1.3 million yuan, just take it out, can you still talk to Your Majesty on small money?" Zhang Xiaobao replied with a smile.

Li Longji paused and said: "Half is half, you don't have to toss Xiaobei, the weather is getting colder, it's not easy to come to the palace once." ”

Li Longji reluctantly agreed to Zhang Xiaobao's sharing agreement, he had to approve it, because Zhang Xiaobao mentioned 1.3 million yuan, really let Xiaobei come over in person, maybe in the end he won't get 30% of the profit, otherwise Xiaobei promised to talk about 1.3 million yuan.

After discussing the matter, Zhang Xiaobao really ate at the zoo at noon, killed a bear, took the bear paw back and processed it, and then brought it back for Li Longji to eat, or directly left it for his younger brothers and sisters to change the taste.

After a full meal, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan returned to the Zhuangyuan Building and continued to feel the tense atmosphere in the building.

Tomorrow's imperial examination, the location is set in Furong Garden, someone went to set up the examination room early, and ordinary people there are not allowed to enter at this time.

The candidates are nervous and nervous, insomnia is insomnia, and the excitement is excited, and the forms are different.

Zhang Xiaobao, who has always seemed very relaxed, was nervous at noon.

It's not for the imperial examination, just because someone came to report, two of Shui Yun and Hongluan's children came out of the shell.

Shui Yun's child is an eagle, not a chicken, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan are all nervous, because the eagle usually does one thing after it comes out of the shell, pushing down the brothers and sisters who are not out of the shell.

Eleven eggs represent eleven eagles, and one less when they fall.

Zhang Xiaobao couldn't take care of eating, so he and Wang Juan took a large group of younger brothers and sisters to the artificial salt lake.

Taking the telescope and looking up, Zhang Xiaobao took a deep breath and asked the person next to him, "Are you ready?" ”

"Yes, next to the nest of Shui Yun and Hongluan, one centimeter shorter, a large circle was enclosed, and it was spread with soft grass, and if an egg was pushed out of the nest, it would not fall to the ground or into the lake." The steward who was asked said firmly.

"How do Shui Yun react to Hongluan?" Wang Juan asked beside him.

"Hongluan has not come down, Shui Yun came down the day before yesterday, grabbed the guard's house, dragged the quilt out from the inside, tore the cloth, took out a lot of cotton from it, and sent it to the top.

Zhang Ying climbed up with a bunch of raised insects, but before he came down, Shui Yun was also there, probably discussing with Zhang Ying how to raise children, the little boy rest assured, we will definitely guard this place, leaving no loopholes. ”

The person in charge assured that Shui Yun was a high-grade official, and he had made a lot of contributions on the battlefield of Tubo and in the northern part of Hebei Province, and it was estimated that the children of Hongluan were not ordinary.

While waiting, a few eagle cries sounded in the sky, and a big white eagle smashed down, Zhang Xiaobao hurriedly took the leather arm cover from the side, and just put it on his arm, the big white bird suddenly slowed down, and then fell on Zhang Xiaobao's arm.

"I knew it was better for the two of us." Zhang Xiaobao touched the neck of Shui Yun on his right arm with his left hand and said happily.

Shui Yun also seemed to be very happy, this is a comrade-in-arms who has fought side by side, if it can speak, maybe it can boast about Zhang Xiaobao's sharp two shots when he took Zhang Xiaobao to fly into the sky and circulate with the eagles.

"Brother, I want to touch the water cloud, it's so beautiful." Xiaobei was not afraid at all, and looked up at Zhang Xiaobao's legs.

Zhang Xiaobao squatted down and gave Shui Yun a little first, this is Xiaobei, that is Xiaoyuan, and there are others and so on.

Xiao Bei had the courage to reach out and touch Shui Yun, and Shui Yun really didn't move and let Xiao Bei touch the feathers, making Xiao Bei giggle happily.

"Is your home warm?" Zhang Xiaobao asked Shui Yun like talking to someone, and Shui Yun screamed.

"Oh, warm, where's the food? Now feed the insects, and when they are bigger, they will feed the meat, and I will have people get live lambs, you can choose for yourself, and when the children will fly, you will have to take them to hunt for their own food. ”

Zhang Xiaobao continued to talk to Shui Yun, and Shui Yun nodded his head, which made people look surprised, and I don't know if Shui Yun understood or got used to the action.

Zhang Ying also slowly climbed down from above, let Shui Yun rub his head on his face, and said to Zhang Xiaobao: "Hongluan has fed the two shelled ones and is asleep, I think there will be five or six shells today, and it is estimated that they will be able to come out tomorrow, and it will not be too many days."

When it's all out, I don't have to worry about it, I think, before the snow, I can start practicing flying, the lake and the ground should be ready, the eaglet can fall far away with its wings, don't get hurt. ”

"It will be arranged, until Xiaobei and they have one, and the remaining two will be raised first, and it is estimated that Your Majesty will be able to speak." Zhang Xiaobao has already begun to figure out how to divide it.

The eagle grows faster than a human, and when he grows up, he may be able to fly into the sky with Xiaobei and them, but I don't know if Shui Yun can still drive himself now.

A little far away from the shelf, the news of the birth of Shui Yun and Hongluan's child spread, and many people gathered, some watched the excitement, and some wondered if they could buy one.

Someone even inquired with Zhang Wang's two families standing in the inner courtyard on the periphery, and asked them if Zhang Xiaobao would sell one or two, but the people in the inner courtyard were too lazy to answer, and asked back with a tired question: 'Shui Yun is an official, do you buy an official's child and raise it to play?' ’

Those who asked did not dare to speak again, and besides, they would be easily arrested.

"Brother, is there any red? I want a big red eagle. When Xiaobei heard that he could share one, he began to make a request.

"I don't know, I have to wait until the hair is changed, and the shape is set, and there is a red one for you." Zhang Xiaobao touched his sister's head, stood up and continued to look up.

Seeing that there was no major problem, he ordered: "Order, all unrelated people are not allowed to approach, martial law is imposed within a kilometer, except for His Majesty personally here, any other princes and princes will be stopped, especially when I am taking the exam, who dares to take the opportunity to come and make trouble, shoot on the spot, and kill me." ”

As soon as Zhang Xiaobao's words fell, there was a neat running sound on the road leading to this place, and most of the people turned their heads to look, only to see a team running from there, all of them were strong and strong, and they also carried guns.

The first eunuch was Luo Bin, who often came into contact with Zhang Xiaobao.

Seeing the dress of the team, Zhang Xiaobao was relieved, it was Jin Wuwei, Li Longji's personal guard, roughly speaking, there were 200 people.

Luo Bin ran closer, gasped twice, and said to Zhang Xiaobao: "Lord Zhang, Your Majesty heard that Shui Yun and Hongluan's children have come out of the shell, let the little one bring two hundred gold guards to protect, whoever dares to wantonly harm the son of an official, severely punish him, martial law within a radius of three miles, prohibit passage, prohibit approaching, if there is a violation, kill on the spot." ”

Luo Bin's voice was very loud, no smaller than Zhang Xiaobao's movement just now, and the people around him heard it, okay, Zhang Xiaobao is just going to be under martial law for a thousand meters, the emperor actually directly circled three miles, and Jin Wuwei was sent out, if Shui Yun is a person, this life is enough.

Zhang Xiaobao was happy: "Okay, thank me for Your Majesty's grace." ”

"Lord Zhang, the little one can't go back, the little one has to stay here, Your Majesty said that if Shui Yun's child is in danger of his life because of others, he will cut off the little one's head, so Lord Zhang, your family's guards also have to be used by the little one, and those who dare to break in hard, the little one must kill him first for the sake of his head."

Luo Bin put his hand on his neck and drew it, afraid of death.

Zhang Xiaobao stretched out his hand to Wang Juan, who took out a few banknotes from his bag, handed them to Luo Bin, and said, "In this way, you will have to worry more." ”

Luo Bin happily took the money, and didn't look at the specific amount, thinking that it couldn't be bad, seeing that Zhang Xiaobao was leaving, he hurriedly said: "Lord Zhang, Your Majesty said, let you keep two, and if you give the rest, you will divide it again." ”

"Honorable." Zhang Xiaobao agreed, led people to go back, and secretly slandered Li Longji, no wonder he sent Jin Wuwei, if it was two, and said that the rest would be divided, I don't believe he couldn't guess that the rest happened to be one of Xiaobei and them, as long as the two were no more and no less, Shui Yun and Hongluan's children were divided.

"Wife, do you think this is our dear Emperor's Majesty's grace to Shui Yun's shadow?" Zhang Xiaobao saw that there were no outsiders around, and said to Wang Juan.

Wang Juan was also very helpless: "Count, count, the main thing is that Shui Yun's ability is too dazzling, who doesn't want to get one, the next nest, there has to be a prince or something to say hello to us, being so valued, I don't know if it's Shui Yun's convincing or sad." ”

"It should be convincing, I didn't hear that the eaglet will live with his parents when he grows up, and he wants to divide out and start a family by himself, let's go, no matter how big it is, we also want a litter of children, and we can't let Shui Yun compare."

"You go and give birth to a pig."

The turmoil of Shuiyun can be said to have just started, the prince and the prince and the sons of the princes are in a powerless situation, they can't compete for the emperor, they can only continue to look forward to it, looking forward to the next nest.

The civil officials felt that the emperor's care for Shui Yun was too much, and there were many discussions, and the military attachés were pleased, Shui Yun was the same kind in their eyes, but he was able to send news at a gallop of thousands of miles, not comparable to the 800-mile urgent report, and the emperor was so for it, it was a meritorious reward.

The generals knew that without Shui Yun, Wang Juan would not have been able to fight such an impressive record at the beginning, and Shui Yun would not only cooperate with the sneak attack during the small group of battles, but also observe the enemy situation and be responsible for air control.

Humanity: Guanshan Endless Blade Cold Mang, throwing his head and fighting on the battlefield, Ling Tian who dares to raise his wings and guard a thousand miles of eagles alone.

Therefore, the generals regard Shui Yun as a hero, at least there is no one in the sky, such a hero, can someone bother if he has a child?

Zhang Xiaobao did not know that the Chinese military forces of the DPRK were divided into two factions to fight in front of Li Longji, and the civil officials said that the literary crepe was crepe, quoting scriptures, and the military generals were more heroic, scolding when they opened their mouths, rolling up their arms and sleeves, and spitting everywhere, if it were not for Li Longji's presence, it was estimated that they would come to the whole martial arts, let Shui Yun see, they were fighting civilian officials on the ground, and there was no one who was also in harmony.

Zhang Xiaobao and the others, who returned to the Zhuangyuan Building, ate first, their hearts fell back into their stomachs, and the amount of food was obviously getting longer, Xiaobei and Xiaoyuan worked together to gnaw off most of the leg of mutton, rubbing their stomachs and saying that they were giving Shuiyun's children a taste of what sheep tasted good, and they planned to taste a few more varieties of sheep in the past few days.

After the meal, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan drank tea with a set of tea sets.

The small teacup, one bite at a time, Zhang Xiaobao drank six in a row, his mouth became more astringent, and asked Wang Juan: "What questions do you say will be tested tomorrow?" ”

"How do I know, and I didn't ask, it doesn't matter, are you still worried that you won't be able to pass the test?" Wang Juan continued to pour tea for Zhang Xiaobao without worrying at all.

"Don't be afraid, I'm idle, everyone else is guessing the exam questions, I'm also guessing, you have to prepare, after the Wenju is a martial arts, you can have so many days to rest, call the people in command at home, and sum it up, it's difficult to fight hot weapons in cold soldiers."

Zhang Xiaobao was arrogant when he accompanied Wang Juan to shout at the generals, and he really had no bottom in his heart, cold weapons and hot weapons are divided into two sets of rules, you can't say that you can cut out with a knife, you can have seven knives, and instantly go to three miles away, and cut the enemy's head like a bag.

Wang Juan picked up the cup, stopped in front of his chest, and said: "It is impossible for each person to have a submachine gun for hot weapons, the weapons we make are purely handmade, and only our own troops and Li Longji's personal guards are one for each person."

There are also few pistols, the rifling of pistols is more difficult to do than rifles, most of them are rifles, rifles are far away, and when they are close to hand-to-hand combat, can they fight with bayonets and supercooled weapons? I couldn't have stupidly arranged a line in an open plain and waited for the guns to fire in unison.

Cold weapons don't mean that I eat one of the opponent's teams, I can't use their guns, it's nothing more than when judging losses, because the people with cold weapons are not familiar with them, so the opponent's losses are small.

This time, I will show the generals who are proud of having guns that guns are not omnipotent, otherwise sooner or later one day they will suffer a big loss. ”

Zhang Xiaobao also understood that theoretically there was no invincible class, but if he was asked to deal with it, he would feel very troublesome, so he drank another cup of tea and signaled Wang Juan that he was full.

said: "I got all the general's information, and after the Wenju exam, I made a list and evaluated everyone. ”

"Okay, there is also logistics to you, I may often do long-distance transfers in order to find fighters, how to distribute logistics, how to hide, you can't make mistakes." Wang Juan took a sand table exercise very seriously, and she had to win.

Zhang Xiaobao also said seriously: "Don't worry, I like to do this, I will make the logistics very coquettish, bring the map, and I will study it." ”

Zhang Xiaobao said and went to get the map.

"You don't guess the exam questions?" Wang Juan asked with a smile.

"What is there to guess, I am the champion, if you dare not give me the champion, I will not be an official, I will throw down a lot of messes, see who can clean it up, whoever is the champion will take over, just a Datang money village, I will exhaust him."

Zhang Xiaobao puffed up his chest and raised his head to go to the study to find a map, and Wang Juan sat there laughing non-stop.

The next day, the day of the imperial examination finally arrived.

There are anxious candidates, after a hurried meal, they will go to the Furong Garden, people can go in clothes, and there will be a sergeant to search their bodies at that time, as for the lunch meal, as well as pen, ink, paper and inkstone, all of which are responsible for the imperial court.

To be precise, the restaurant that sells rice is also responsible for the shops that sell the four treasures of the study, and the bowls that serve the rice and the plates that serve the dishes will leave the mark of the restaurant, and the same is true for the four treasures of the study.

In the past, the students brought it themselves, and the imperial court would not give it, but now Li Longji will also do business, and some of the students who take the exam will be officials, who can provide them with things, not to mention how much care there will be in the future, at least leave a good thought.

Therefore, there are many restaurants that are willing to provide meals, and there are also many restaurants that provide stationery, so Li Longji charged, yes, you provide food and stationery, and you still have to take money, if you don't take money, you don't need your things.

The students all went away with solemn faces, only Zhang Xiaobao, Wang Juan, and the students of Pujia Academy were not in a hurry, the people of the academy would follow Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, even if the time passed, I believe they could go in.

After eating, Zhang Xiaobao sat there and drank some tea to eliminate food, and then set off with the team towards Furong Garden.

Outside the Furong Garden, the soldiers in line waited, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan went directly inside, and the students of the academy needed to stop and be checked.

In this regard, none of the other candidates who came for about a while felt that they should not be, who dared to search Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan's bodies? said that the two of them would cheat, and no one would believe it, and if people wanted to cheat, they would have already memorized the questions they had to answer.

Entering the examination room, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan looked for a place according to the number, two people next to each other, only a wooden wall in the middle, and a soldier with a gun stood outside each single room.

Of course, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan are different from the outside, there are at least twenty people outside them, called invigilators, which are actually for protection.

Wang Juan was also admitted to the Shike, and she planned to put some pressure on Zhang Xiaobao, it was not good to be compared to her daughter-in-law, right?

With the doors outside closing, it's time for the exam.

The official in charge of the examination first nodded to Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, and then said something to praise Li Longji, and emphasized the discipline in the examination room, and then walked to Zhang Xiaobao and asked, "Lord Zhang, is it okay?" ”

Zhang Xiaobao glared at the examiner, which meant 'Are you stupid?' You ask me. ’

The examiner comprehended and immediately announced the start. Unsealing the exam papers, not the kind of reading before, is to send the papers, and if you feel that the paper is not enough, you can ask the examiner for it.

Zhang Xiaobao unfolded the volume, the first question, for the post scripture, the Jinshi test is a big scripture, in fact, it is a fill-in-the-blank question, the so-called big scripture is empty, and the empty connection.

Zhang Xiaobao glanced at it, only to see that it read, 'I am the king of the literature and the king of the literature, and I have the mandate of heaven to appease Fang Xia. As for the back, it's empty after empty, a big row.

"I thought it would be difficult, take the "Shangshu" exam, I knew it was like this, let Xiaoyuan come, he could also get a good score', Zhang Xiaobao scolded and filled in the blank behind.

After writing, continue to read the next one, which is an essay, that is, a question, let you write a poem and write a poem according to the meaning of the question, Zhang Xiaobao will go over empty, write poems and write fu to delay things, and finish the simple one first.

Later, and then there is the current policy, also known as the policy theory, giving a topic, and then discussing, but it needs to reach five questions.

Zhang Xiaobao glanced at the question, it was really related to himself, there was the problem of Henan Province, the problem of foreign conquest, the problem of domestic economic construction, and the problem of building a railway and the layout of the river.

Zhang Xiaobao looked at the question, pondered, and knocked on the wooden board next door.

"What are you cheating?" Wang Juan asked in a low voice, and the sergeant outside was deaf and dazzled at this time, and he didn't see or hear.

But the person next door on the other side of Wang Juan heard it, and he was not angry, if you copy it, you can ask the question directly, why ask each other at this time.

Zhang Xiaobao didn't care about those things, and said: "Don't answer the current policy, if you don't write the truth, that's called bullying, you write the truth, the person who reviewed the file saw it, are you not afraid of revealing the secret?" ”

"Oh, yes." Wang Juan replied and asked, "If you don't answer, your score will be low." ”

"Who dares to say that I am not good at the times? Who wants to know, came and asked me, I told him, I told him all the secrets and layouts, and I scared him to death. Zhang Xiaobao said disdainfully.

"Well, I won't answer either." Wang Juan responded.

At this time, the resentment in the hearts of the candidates who heard it around disappeared, and it was replaced by understanding and worship, looking at Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, they didn't know how to write, but they didn't dare to write.

The current affairs policy that I am answering now, isn't it to see if it can be reconciled with the ideas of the two of them, the closer it is posted, the higher the evaluation, people are giving advice to the saint, what are the ideas of current affairs, and I told the emperor directly, how can I write it out for many people to see?

Zhang Xiaobao is relaxed now, there are three big questions in total, and now there is a poem and a poem left, and he wants to write, and he wants to know what Wang Juan thinks, so he gently knocked on the wooden board again: "Are you going to write seven words or five words?" Lyric or quatrain? ”

"Don't disturb other people, I don't write quatrains of poetry, I write songs." Wang Juan was annoyed.
