"Brother Yuze, can you tell me a story? The Social Society held a story contest, but I didn't have a good story ......."

"The story? Okay, let me tell you a folk legend, it is a story that happened in the land of Lingnan, Your Majesty, you can also listen to it together, in fact, there are still a lot of talents in the land of Lingnan......"

"It's the first time I've heard Aiqing tell a story~ That's good, I'm listening~"

"It is said that there is a young man named Zhang Jiuling in Shixing County, Lingnan, who is ten years old this year. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhang Jiuling, who is more than 10 years old, has experienced the study of the local Guishan Academy and Shutang College, and has initially mastered the essence of the Four Books and Five Classics, and has achieved some success in his studies. This year, there was a new county named Zhao Liang in Shixing County, this Zhao Liang had studied with Kong Yingda, he keenly observed the imperial court's big policy of wanting to develop Lingnan, and immediately asked the emperor to let him go to a county in Lingnan to be a magistrate, and the emperor let this Zhao Liang come to Shixing County to be a magistrate after consideration. This Zhao Liang has always advocated the way of Confucius and Mencius, at the beginning of his tenure, he set up a school, opened a large-scale county school in the county, and hired several knowledgeable gentlemen as assistants. And Zhang Jiuling's parents were not surprised, and decided to save money and send Zhang Jiuling to study in Shixing County.

Zhang Jiuling's parents could only scrape together his tuition, and as for the money for accommodation and food, they really couldn't piece it together, so they had to let Jiuling live at one of his cousins' house. Zhang Jiuling's cousin is his aunt's son, who is more than 10 years old, loyal and honest, and inherited the county seat after the death of his parents. My cousin relies on the store to do grocery business, and he has been running a small business for more than ten years, and he also has some savings, and he doesn't have to worry about food and clothing. But his cousin-in-law's name Li is bitter and mean, and when she heard her husband say that Jiuling was going to come to the house to study, eat and live at home, and knew that Jiuling's family was not rich, and she couldn't afford to subsidize the family, so she was full of unhappiness, but because of the relationship between the two parties, she couldn't refuse directly, so she tried her best to get her husband to refuse this matter.

It is said that one night Li couldn't sleep, so he dug out his mind to ponder about it, and finally came up with a plan. The next day, Jiuling's cousin said to Li: "Jiuling is coming to live at home, you go and clean the vacant wing room in the backyard!" Li then said: "It's really unfortunate, in order to compensate for the family with a few more money, I have rented the backyard wing to someone else a few days ago, and they will move in in a few days." Your cousin has no house to arrange since he came......"

"How's that going to work? Jiuling has already set off, how can he do it without a place to live? Jiuling's cousin frowned and said.

"If you live, you still have a place to live, don't we have an attic above our kitchen?" (Lingnan Hakka houses generally have an attic on the top of the kitchen, which is mainly used to cover the dust and dust of the tile surface, and can also be used to store dry things)

"How can this work? Can the attic be inhabited?! The attic is roasted by the smoke and firewood, the smell is not pleasant, not to mention, the air is also extremely stuffy, you let him live in it and not heat him to death?! ”

Li scolded: "If you can't live, tell him to get out, and you still want to pick and choose if you eat for nothing?!" I've already collected the rent with someone else, what do you want?!"

My cousin was cowardly by nature, so he had to sigh and give up.

Soon, Jiuling rushed to the county seat with his luggage on his back, and his cousin warmly received Jiuling. Due to the hard work of the day, and Jiuling was in the period of growing his body, he ate three bowls of rice for dinner, which made Li's flesh ache. After the meal, Li Shipi said to Zhang Jiuling with a smile: "It just so happens that the wing room has been rented out, so I have to wronged you to live in the kitchen attic." Jiuling didn't think much about it, nodded in agreement, carefully cleaned up the attic, and moved the luggage up.

The next day, Jiuling got up early in the morning to read, but he was full of energy, radiant, and without a trace of tiredness. Li was very strange, but he thought in his heart, see how long you can survive?

On the morning of the third day, when Jiuling got up and read early, he was still refreshed and energetic.

Jiuling has a good habit, every day after dinner, he reads in the living room, climbs up to the attic to sleep until late at night, and gets up early the next morning to read.

For several days, Jiuling went to bed late and got up early, but his spirit became more and more energetic. Li Shi saw it in his eyes, doubted it in his heart, and secretly thought, isn't this attic hot, impossible, it's dog days now, he lives in the spacious room downstairs, and he has to shake the pu fan every night to fall asleep, and the kitchen attic is smoked every day, it's strange if it's not hot, does this kid have a special function?

Li finally couldn't help it. This morning, she pretended to be kind and asked Jiuling: "Cousin, you have lived at home for a while, can't you get used to it?" ”

Jiuling said: "I'm used to living, thank you sister-in-law for your concern." ”

Li asked again: "Is it hot to sleep in the attic at night?" ”

Jiuling said: "It was a little hot when I first went up, but then it was not hot when I fell asleep, and I even felt quite cool." ”

Li became more and more confused, and he was puzzled.

It is said that more than a month later, it was the busy season of harvesting rice, and according to the local customs, the academy also had a ten-day holiday to let the children go home to help with farm work. The next day, Jiuling hurried back to Qinghua's home.

That night, with the confusion of more than a month, Li erected the stairs, clinged to the lampstand, and climbed the kitchen attic, wanting to experience it for himself and see what was the reason why the nine-year-old boy could withstand the high temperature and sleep peacefully. The attic was narrow, just for a makeshift bed with a whitely washed mosquito net. Jiuling usually pays attention to hygiene, the attic is cleaned spotlessly, clothes and books are neatly placed, and there is a strong smell of Hanmo books in the room, covering up the smell of oil smoke wafting from the kitchen below. The temperature was extremely high, and Li Shi couldn't stand it a little, so he wanted to go downstairs, but he was curious, and forced him to lie down on the bed with his clothes. Soon after lying down, I felt that it was unbearably hot, just when I wanted to retreat and get up and go downstairs, suddenly the lights went out, and a cool breeze blew from all directions of the mosquito net, which was refreshing and comfortable, and the body and mind were completely relaxed for a while, and the sleepiness came with it.

When he was drowsy, Li faintly heard a soft speech beside the bed, the sound was as thin as a mosquito, so he woke up and stood motionless to prick up his ears and listen.

I only heard one voice say: "Our five brothers are working hard to fan the wind, don't be hot Zhang Xianggong!" ”

A voice responded, "Yes." Zhang Xianggong is really pitiful, he studies hard during the day, and he has to suffer such abuse at night. Fortunately, we have our help. ”

Suddenly, a voice exclaimed: "Brothers, look, it doesn't seem to be Zhang Xianggong lying on the bed?" ”

Another voice responded, "I've just arrived, let me take a closer look." ”

After a while, a voice came: "Ouch, it's really not Zhang Xianggong, it's a woman!" ”

Then a voice responded, "Oh, yes, yes, how can it be a woman?" ”

A voice continued: "Since it's not Zhang Xianggong, then our brothers don't need to fan him, it seems that we can be lazy tonight." ”

The words disappeared all at once, and the cool breeze around them disappeared without a trace with the sound. At this time, gusts of hot wind rushed like a tide, and the temperature in the attic suddenly skyrocketed. After a while, Li was covered in sweat, she suddenly woke up, frightened, so frightened that she crawled and rolled downstairs, ran back to the room, her heart was still pounding, the scene just now was really terrible, too incredible!

After Jiuling's cousin returned, Li panicked and informed him of this strange thing. My cousin was also surprised, so he lit the lamp, and dared to climb up to the kitchen attic, and looked around, but found nothing. After going downstairs, Li cried and cried, saying that the house was very evil and could not be lived, and he had to move out immediately. The cousin had no choice but to comfort Li and said that maybe he had a nightmare, so don't be suspicious. It was not easy to persuade the Li family.

The next morning, the two cousins were doing business in the store, and a wandering monk happened to enter the store to make a fortune. The monk claimed to be from Caoxi Baolin Monastery in Shaozhou Prefecture, and his Dharma name was Huineng. The couple had heard from a businessman in the past about the anecdotes of Huineng Zen Master, and knew that this person was a high-ranking monk, so they gave each other good tea and good food. And told Huineng Zen Master about the strange things last night and asked for an explanation. After Zen Master Huineng asked Zhang Jiuling's age and place of origin, he twisted up the Buddha beads, pinched his fingers, and then laughed and said, "The people of the world must be protected by ghosts and gods." This son will be rich and prosperous in the future, and the future is immeasurable! The two donors are destined people, and if they can get along with the noble people, they will definitely be blessed in the future, and they can be regarded as blessed people! ”

It turned out that Zhang Jiuling was the king of Qu Xingjun in the sky, and he had ghosts and gods to help him from childhood to adulthood. When Jiuling went to his cousin's house in the county seat to borrow and was calculated by his cousin and fell into trouble, five ghosts nearby came to help him when he heard the wind, and held a fan to blow him, so that Jiuling could sleep peacefully and get through the difficulties.

After listening to Zen Master Huineng's explanation, Li Shi thought of his chicken intestines and duck belly, and when he was embarrassed by his calculations, he suddenly felt guilty and regretful. Soon he resigned from the tenant and cleaned the room. After the end of the farm holiday, Jiuling was arranged to live in a spacious and ventilated wing, and after that, he was entertained every day and honored as a guest, creating a good reading and resting environment for Jiuling. Zhang Jiuling really lived up to his expectations, and later became famous all over the world, and then became the prime minister of the Tang Empire under one person and above ten thousand people, and became a pillar of Anbang governance......"

"Aiqing, although the words of ghosts and gods are not credible, why do I always hear that this Zhang Jiuling is a real character?"

Of course, he is the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty decades later! But it's not born yet...... Liu Yuze thought about it, and then bowed to Li Shimin: "Although this is just a story, it is true that there are still talents who can govern the country in Lingnan, although we Datang have improved the college entrance examination system, most of the people admitted are people from the north and Guanzhong, and there are not many people in the south, and this system has not been implemented in Lingnan, Your Majesty, I think we should be like the emperor in the story, and we should carry out the development of Lingnan, what do you think?" ”

"Under the whole world, it is not the king's land...... The land of Lingnan has always been regarded as a barbarian land, but the local people are simple and kind, and they are willing to educate...... It's also time for the people of Lingnan to feel the warmth of my Tang court...... By then, my popular sentiment index should be able to rise a little bit......"

"Your Majesty, isn't this for the sake of your popular opinion...... As long as you govern the country well and the people are happy, the people's sentiment index will naturally go up......"

"I know, I know...... Hehe, Aiqing, I don't think anyone is more familiar with the development of Lingnan than you, so Aiqing will work hard and go to Lingnan for a trip, right? ”

"Why me again!! I'm not going to ......."

"How about marrying Qian'er when you come back?" Li Shimin was tempted.

"Your Majesty, do you have any thoughts on a little girl who still needs to tell a story?"

"Hey, hey, no matter what, I'll keep it for you, as for the land of Lingnan, this important task will be handed over to you!"

"Whatever I want?" Liu Yuze asked.

"Change it as you like! As long as you don't change the dynasty......"

"Hehe, I don't dare to ...... this" Liu Yuze's heart moved, Lingnan is a good place...... If you also draw two circles in the South China Sea, can you become a mountain of gold like the leaders of later generations?

(8,000 updates are sent...... This big chapter was originally going to be sent out tomorrow, but after thinking about it, let's send it out today...... Tomorrow my son will go to the hospital for a review, and by the way, I will not update it, but let me think about the development of Lingnan, and start to restore the previous daily more than 10,000 words on Monday, and thank you for your support~~ I just looked at it, and only 150,000 words have been updated in 20 days, mainly because things have not gone well recently, my wife is sick and my child is sick, and I am in the hospital for at least two days a week......
