One day in March in the early spring of the nineteenth year of Kaiyuan, it had just rained in Daizhou. In recent years, the rain in Hedong and Hebei is far more than in previous years, although it causes floods from time to time, but for the north, which has never rained so much that there will even be spring rains as expensive as oil, this rain is still the most anticipated thing for ordinary farmers. And after this rain, the acting governor Shi Du Shiyi led his subordinates to personally help the plow to the field, praying for a good harvest with good wind and rain, which naturally made people more excited.

In Chengdu to persuade tea, in Yunzhou to vigorously promote mutual trade, but this time in Daizhou, at the beginning of the big rat like Pei Yuanshan, and then after a few beetles were exempted, Du Shiyi did not take such a resolute move as before. Through the implementation of new farm tools, and from Yunzhou to buy a large number of cattle at a fair price, and at the same time in a way to personally persuade farmers, but also recruit experienced farmers as a guide, led by Tian Mo to go deep into Daizhou to solve various practical problems such as farming, pests and diseases, water diversion, etc., at the same time, through the local large households to raise donations, repair river bridges and canals and so on...... But these alone are enough to ⊥ him has a good reputation among the people.

Now that there is no war on the border, what the people are most afraid of is actually the poverty of the government. Now Du Shiyi has put on such a pro-people posture, which naturally wins the hearts of the people. Not only that, but he also won praise for his request to speed up the efficiency of the handling of prisons on the basis of persuading peasants to speed up the efficiency of the handling of prisons through the other states under the supervision of the prefecture governor's office. As for the new policy of escaping households, although it has caused a certain backlash in various places, after the first month, the assassins of the states responded to the call of the state, and after listening to Du Shiyi's detailed description of the power of this and proposing the rent compensation law between the states, the voice of doubt gradually calmed down a little.

After Li Bai traveled to Daizhou and served as a visiting professor of Daizhou State Studies, Du Shiyi sent a letter to Songshan Thatched Cottage and invited his senior brother Lu Wangzhi to give a lecture at Daizhou State School. Who knew that Lu Wangzhi was here at the beginning of spring, and Yan Zhenqing actually came to Daizhou with him. And when the two brothers passed through Jiangzhou, Lu Wangzhi actually brought another middle-aged man who was over forty years old. When he met Du Shiyi, after the three brothers said goodbye to each other, Lu Wangzhi saw that Du Shiyi frequently looked at the middle-aged man who was dressed in simple clothes and looked old and old, so he laughed.

"Little junior brother is thinking, where is this sacred?"

Du Shiyi knew that Lu Wangzhi was a bad character who loved to sell Guanzi, so she immediately ignored him, smiled and said to the middle-aged man: "Dare to ask this brother who ...... he is."

"Don't dare to be the word Du Envoy Jun Brother Tai." Good at home leisurely drinking and entertaining himself, as a result of Songshan's old friends visiting, his wife was drunk with wine and hospitality, he woke up and found himself sleeping in the carriage, that shock was naturally not trivial, inexplicably abducted to Daizhou, the middle-aged man couldn't tell whether he was depressed or funny, but Du Shiyi was so polite to himself when he first saw him, he could only not be very sorry for himself, and said with a smile, "After being drunk for people, he deceived his family and forcibly abducted him from Jiangzhou's house in Xia Wang Zhilian, the word Ji Ling." ”

As soon as these words came out, Du Shiyi looked at Lu Wangzhi. And the other party didn't seem to know that Wang Zhihuan was talking about himself, and even stared at him in surprise: "There are still such people in the world?" ”

At this time, even Yan Zhenqing blushed a little, he called out to Senior Brother, and immediately said to Wang Zhilian: "I'm really sorry Brother Wang, it's all Senior Brother who said that Brother Wang has been eating idle meals at home since he resigned, and he is spending his days leisurely, and he doesn't want to go anywhere." Since I want to pull you to travel to Daizhou with you, I can't use some small means. ”

Du Shiyi was almost amused by the three words of eating idle meals, and saw Wang Zhilian glaring at Lu Wangzhi blowing his beard, in order to prevent the scene from making trouble, he could only cough lightly and said: "Brother Ji Ling, I have been famous for a long time, especially the Liangzhou poem, the Yellow River is far above the white clouds, a lonely city and ten thousand mountains." Why should Qiang Di complain about the willows, the spring breeze does not pass the jade gate. The atmosphere is magnificent, and people yearn for it when they read it. ”

Wang Zhihuan was also born in the Taiyuan Wang family, and is quite famous in Jiangzhou and even Hedong. However, he did not go to the field like other talents, but as a man in the shadow, he only served as the chief bookkeeper of Hengshui for one term and then resigned and left his hometown to live in seclusion, and his reputation was far inferior to others. Therefore, when Du Shiyi recited his Liangzhou poem and praised it, a happy expression appeared on his face.

"Du Envoy Jun praised, that was what I did when I traveled to the northwest in the past, this surnamed Lu will look down on people, thinking that I will only stay at home, but in fact, I have also experienced the scenery of the Western Regions"

Lu Wangzhi was not frightened at all by Wang Zhilian's barren combat effectiveness, and immediately sneered: "Who is lying at home all day and nothing?" When I went to visit your house with Qingchen, my sister-in-law also said that you would lie like this for two or three days from time to time. She was also worried that you would be idle, so she begged me to take you out for a walk. Otherwise, you're happy to take you with me? ”

"Who do you say is the eater? The surname is Lu, you tell me again"

Seeing that Wang Zhihuan directly rolled up his sleeves and went up, for a while, Lu Wangzhi was actually going to have a contest in the courtyard, Du Shiyi was angry and funny, and was about to stop them, but Yan Zhenqing, who has now completely grown into a young man, shook his head with a smile and said: "Senior Brother Du, don't worry, they often have to make trouble like this on the road, it will be fine for a while." ”

"The surname Lu is still the old rule, I make the question, you compose a poem, and then the other way around, I want to see who kneels first today and begs for mercy"

"Oh? Brother Wang's memory is really bad, it seems that you were the one who begged for mercy last time, right? ”

Seeing that these two really fought immediately, Du Shiyi was finally speechless. He really didn't bother to get involved in this kid's vindictive tricks, so he called Yan Zhenqing first and went straight back to the study. Knowing that his mentor Lu Hong was in good health, he often gathered with a group of literati and scholars who lived in seclusion in Songshan, and there was an endless stream of people who came to visit and study in the mountains, and his heart couldn't help but be full of joy, and then he looked at Yan Zhenqing.

"Qingchen, you went to Songshan to study in the eighth year of Kaiyuan, and now it has been more than ten years, don't you plan to go to the field?"

"Well, Master Lu also said that I am ready, and I will probably take the Jingzhao Mansion test first in the next year or two." Yan Zhenqing nodded, and then smiled shyly, "I just hope that I won't embarrass Master Lu and the Yan family." ”

"Then how can it be, you have studied from Master Lu for so many years, and your foundation will only be more solid than mine. So, taking advantage of this opportunity, you just happened to give a good lecture on the way of essays to the students of Daizhou State School. You must know that among the three tests, this one has always been the most important. ”

Since Du Shiyi asked for this, Yan Zhenqing is the most respectful and respectful of the elderly, so naturally he will not refuse. And when Lu Wangzhi and Wang Zhilian had another competition, and followed the servants into the study, Du Shiyi saw Wang Zhihuan triumphant, and then Lu Wangzhi smiled at the corner of his mouth, and for a while he couldn't figure out who won and who lost. But this kind of boring poetry competition was left behind by him in an instant, and he relayed the request he had just made to Yan Zhenqing with a smile, Lu Wangzhi agreed with his mouth, and Wang Zhilian, who was one step later, glared at him angrily.

"You haven't been in the science field, don't teach these talents in Daizhou"

"I haven't been in the field, but I'm always more familiar with "Cut Rhyme" than you, you know, those teachers and disciples in Songshan Thatched Cottage who want to take the Jingjing Examination, I personally lectured on the poems and the poems. But Brother Wang, what is the format of the test poem and the test fu, do you know? ”

Wang Zhilian was choked by Lu Wangzhi again, and for a long time, he was about to ridicule him, but Du Shiyi finally couldn't help it. He coughed heavily, and then said in an unquestionable tone: "Look at this hour, Taibai is almost about to return from state school. He is more familiar with things there than you are, and he has a loose and bold temperament, so he should get along very well. ”

"That is, except for this crazy person surnamed Lu, I get along with everyone in the world."

Lu Wangzhi turned a deaf ear to Wang Zhilian's provocation, and just smiled happily: "Each other." ”

When Yan Zhenqing became a peacemaker and persuaded the two of them to go out, Du Shiyi couldn't help but hold her forehead with her hand, secretly thinking that these two living treasures would not fight directly if they didn't agree when they were lecturing in the state, right? However, today's science field is no better than the eight-strand essays of the Ming and Qing dynasties in the future, which can use the sea of questions and countless model essays as references. Otherwise, there would not be so many great poets who seek fame and fame. The students of state studies, for those poems that limit rhyme, are even better at than Li Bai, and what he asked these famous celebrities to instill in them is actually nothing else, it is the spirit in the poems.

A trial poem that should be ordinary, or a trial endowment, once it has a different spirit and style, can immediately enhance the style and attract people's eyes

Of course, the influx of many literati and artists into Daibei will also attract more people to travel. If there are those who can be recruited, it will be able to solve his worries about the lack of talent.

In the evening, Du Shiyi set up a banquet to entertain Lu Wangzhi's king Zhilian and Yan Zhenqing, and invited him together with Li Bai, the three who were good at drinking were like-minded and drunk for a while, and Yan Zhenqing was pulled by Lu Wangzhi and couldn't escape the table, so he could only sacrifice his life to accompany the gentleman. As for Du Shiyi, the owner, under the pretext of being busy with official business, he slipped away with reason. When he returned to the study, Wu Tianqi was already waiting there, and the bookshelves were tidy and clean. And none of the things he had flipped through had moved. For this knowledgeable and clever little guy, he is now more and more fond of it, and after sitting down, he smiled and asked him a few words about state studies.

After Wu Tianqi explained a few words, he suddenly asked: "Master Lang, all the families in Daizhou are already inquiring, how to select the students selected from the state school this year?" ”

"Oh? Did someone ask you? Du Shiyi got Wu Tianqi's affirmative answer, he squinted his eyes and thought about it, and then smiled, "In this way, you go and tell them that according to the monthly examination since last year, the top ten will be selected, and when the Qingming Festival is over, let them go to Xichengguan with me, and then determine the person who will be relieved."

Wu Tianqi nodded hurriedly, but then he asked cautiously: "Elder Wen personally asked me, is Lord Lang not waiting to see Duan Guangzhen, the brigade commander of Xicheng Pass?" ”

Du Shiyi was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Wen Zhengyi can't hold his breath, take advantage of this opportunity to call Zhang Xing, who is now the acting doctor of economics in the state, and Li Taibai and the four of them."

After responding to this matter, Wu Tianqi suddenly remembered something, and said with a smile for a while: "By the way, there is also good news in Chang'an, saying that the sage issued an edict to pardon the prisoners, and the crimes of the prisoners were punished, and all the sentences below the prison sentence were forgiven." In this way, is it possible for Yuwen Shaofu to return to Chang'an? ”

Du Shiyi was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly asked Wu Tianqi to find the text of the edict on the prisoners, and after a closer look, his brows were completely stretched.

"You're right, exactly. This edict is supposed to travel 200 miles a day, and it can be sent to Lingnan within 20 days, and Yu Wenrong is finally out."

Finally, the gift was not given in vain
