Chapter 13: The Wise Boy
There was fear, jealousy, bitterness, and anger in the thief. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"This is the world?"
The map, which took Zhao Zheng three full days to complete, is two meters long and one meter wide, although it is not perfect due to his own painting work, but it is already the most accurate map in the world, all the civilizations that existed in the thirteenth century are on this paper, and all the uncultivated places are also there.
And the Great Song Dynasty, which claims to be the central world and the upper kingdom of the Celestial Empire, is actually just a country cowering in the east of the continent.
The Mongols, the barbarians they despised, straddled across the world like a behemoth, and the Great Song Dynasty was eclipsed and lost all its brilliance.
"Is this map real?" Shi Songzhi asked with some horror.
Zhao Zheng stared at Shi Songzhi: "This matter, Shi Zhijun can verify it one by one, but this map is too shocking, please don't leak it." ”
When Shi Songzhi heard this, he thought for a while, and agreed to Zhao Zheng's suggestion: "But Song Jin's map is also given by the Taoist minister." ”
"Three days later, please come back to Shi Zhijun!"
Shi Songzhi saluted Zhao Zheng and walked out of the Baiyun Taoist Temple with great ambition.
How can such a vast land be given to thieves?
All things in the world, the virtuous live in it, I have five virtues in the original plains, and I should take the world!
――
After Shi Songzhi left, he left Huang Daochang, Da Lang and Erlang with a stunned face, they had been peeking, although they couldn't hear the conversation between Shi Songzhi and Zhao Zheng clearly, but Shi Songzhi saluted Zhao Zheng, and they saw it clearly.
That's the official master, the dignified intellectual, who actually saluted San Lang.
When Shi Song went out, Huang Daochang and the others surrounded each other and asked impatiently: "San Lang, what did you say to Shi Zhijun?" ”
At this time, Zhao Zheng had already put away the map, and in the face of the master's questioning, he had to explain honestly: "I gave Shi Zhijun a map, which is a relic left to me by my father, and it has the detailed stationing of the Jin Dynasty army. ”
Huang Daochang was taken aback when he heard this, and subconsciously wanted to ask who Zhao Zheng's father was who could get such an important military plane, but when he saw Zhao Zheng's face showing pain and embarrassment, he couldn't help but soften.
"San Lang don't be sentimental! As a teacher, I won't touch your sadness, I'll give you half a day off, and you take Da Lang and Erlang to Zaoyang today! ”
When Da Lang Erlang heard this, he couldn't help cheering, and pulled Zhao Zheng and ran out, but he didn't eat anymore.
Looking at the three disciples who ran away without a trace as soon as they slipped away, Huang Daochang couldn't help but smile bitterly, and shouted: "A few stinky boys! You can't go until you're done eating! ”
――
Three days later, Shi Songzhi did not come, but a eunuch and several entourages from Lin'an Mansion came.
When Huang Daochang knew that it was the emperor's holy decree that had arrived, he was shocked, and he didn't know what to do for a while, staring at Zhao Zheng, as if he was going to eat him.
"It should be my meritorious contribution to the picture, and the butler's reward."
When the zodiac chief heard the surprise, he danced with his hands, and forgot to entertain the official who came to deliver the news, and the official couldn't help muttering on the side that this Taoist priest is too ignorant of the rules, and he has not seen the reward for a long time, and he is really a person from the mountains and wilderness, and he does not understand etiquette.
Zhao Zheng coughed dryly and gave Huang Dao Chang a look, and Huang Dao Chang came back to his senses and hurriedly invited the Taoist priest into the house.
The holy decree was about an hour away, and according to the official's explanation, an incense case was set up. And this news also spread quickly to the foot of Baiyun Daoguan Mountain. The name of the village was suddenly sensational, and they rushed up the mountain to see what the holy decree looked like.
――
"He said: God bless the saints, the Tao spreads the world, and the good man Huang Changfeng ......"
The Holy Decree is sprinkled with a hundred crosses, but there are only a few dry words.
The first is the emperor's imperial plaque: Baiyun Taoist Temple, the zodiac chief was named "Mr. Tianyu" and the commander of the seven products. The so-called honorable officer is the honorary title of the official family to reward the meritorious minister, there is no salary, no position, a false title.
And Zhao Zheng was named "Linghui Boy", and he was also a martial arts lieutenant from the seventh grade. In addition, the official family rewarded four silk horses, a pair of jade bracelets, and ten taels of gold.
When Zhao Zheng heard these rewards, he secretly said that this Shi Miyuan was really covering the sky with one hand, and a countryman like himself could actually say that the official family would give the commander a reward.
With the emperor's holy decree, no matter how big things I do in the future, I can use this holy decree to cover up, but I am a wise boy given by the emperor, can't I be a little smarter?
As soon as the rewarded eunuch left, Shi Songzhi came, this time he led a middle-aged scar-faced man to Zhao Zheng: "His name is Li De, I will listen to your dispatch in the future, there are twenty people outside the door, all of them are family members in my house, some martial arts, Zaoyang is the place where the two countries are at war, it's always right to pay more attention." ”
Shi Songzhi replaced the people who protected the Baiyun Taoist Temple with his own family, in which the meaning of showing affection was overflowing, and it also meant that the friendship between them had become a personal relationship.
Zhao Zheng just ran out of manpower and couldn't ask for it: "Thank you for your love." ”
After that, Shi Songzhi donated another 200 yuan of incense money, took the map given by Zhao Zheng and left. Zhao Zheng didn't care either, compared to the gold and silver mountains he gave to the Shi family, this money was nothing.
The zodiac chief was completely stunned, in the past few months, he passed the Taoist exam in a daze, got the title of good man, and also got the title of the emperor, and the Baiyun Taoist Temple is not what it used to be. All these changes made the zodiac chief completely confused.
In the evening, the Baiyun Taoist Temple held a grand ancestor worship activity to comfort the ancestors of the Baiyun Taoist Temple.
Da Lang and Erlang were also officially given their names by the Zodiac Chief, and the Baiyun Dao Temple is not what it used to be, and his disciples can't even have a name.
Dalang is left mellow and named Yunshan, Huangyunshan. Erlang is so strong and enterprising, named Daofeng, Huangdaofeng. The title of them can also be called in the second lang and the third lang, which has to be a little more formal. Just like ordinary people's homes, they have to be called "brother", and what "Lang" and the like are more similar to milk names and nicknames.
When he calls Da Lang, he is called the eldest brother, and when he is Erlang, he is the second brother, and the father calls his son the same way
――
Since the Baiyun Taoist Temple was rewarded by the official family, there have been more people who have come to burn incense and ask questions, and the first Taoist Temple in Zaoyang has been firmly seated, and its fame has spread to Hengzhou and Xiangyang.
Li De's arrival made many things unnecessary for Zhao Zheng to do himself, and the next day he asked Li De to go to Hengzhou to find two blacksmiths with good skills and a carpenter. You need a lot of special props to experiment by yourself, and the incense of Baiyun Taoist Temple is already very prosperous, and hundreds of dollars are credited to your account every day, which is enough to cover the wages of several workers.
Huang Daochang also took out some money according to Zhao Zheng's proposal, built a private school at the foot of Baiyun Mountain, invited two talents, let the children under the mountain go to school for free, and funded the repair of several bridges.
Seeing that the incense of Baiyun Taoist Temple is so vigorous, there are naturally red eyes, it turns out that the Taishang Temple and Shuiyue Temple of Zaoyang incense are full of incense in the past two months, and there is also the Great Compassion Temple in Zaoyang City.
On this day, Chen Songzhi, the master of Taishang Temple, and Yang Meifeng, the master of Water Moon Temple, led dozens of people, large and small, to Baiyun Taoist Temple to teach Taoism. This is a bully that there are few people in the Baiyun Dao Temple, and there is only one top-notch master, and it is rumored that this person is not outstanding. So this time, I entangled these people and wanted to ruin the reputation of the Baiyun Taoist Temple.
Zhao Zheng saw that this group of people was menacing, and without saying a word, he let Li De drive him out, isn't it asking for trouble to preach the Dharma with this group of undisciplined Taoist priests? Besides, there are many schools of Taoism in the Southern Song Dynasty, and the classics of each card are not the same, and this method will not go together, which is purely in vain.
When Chen Songzhi and the others saw that Zhao Zheng Baiyun Daoguan was closed, they thought that Baiyun Daoguan was weak-hearted, but the more than 20 strong men guarding outside had fierce eyes, and they were afraid that they were reckless men who had seen blood, so they didn't dare to break in, they only dared to shout outside the door.
For two days in a row, the door of the Baiyun Taoist Temple was not opened at all, they were already thirsty and hungry, and they slandered in their hearts that the foolish people under the mountain were fooled by the Baiyun Taoist Temple, and they insisted on not selling them food to eat, nor allowing them to stay overnight. In addition, from time to time, he was exhausted by throwing a few stones by the boy who went into the mountain to collect medicine, but fortunately, he went home and spread bad words about the Baiyun Taoist Temple in secret.
Zhao Zheng didn't bother to care about the group of Taoist priests and let them go.
The time has entered September, and the things that Zhao Zheng planted at the beginning of summer have matured.
Sweet potatoes, corn, potatoes, and other things that change this era are about to come to the world, and these are seeds that have been carefully cultivated by later generations, and the yield per mu will be extremely amazing in this era.
Shi Songzhi was invited to the back mountain by Zhao Zheng early, accompanied by dozens of officials of Zaoyang, large and small.
"Shi Zhijun, this is the immortal seed that my master cultivated for this world, and from now on, the people of my Great Song Dynasty will no longer be spared by food!"
Shi Songzhi was taken aback when he heard this, and asked in disbelief: "This is true!" ”
"It will take three years for these things to be planted on a large scale and promoted in the Great Song Dynasty. During the past three years, I hope that you will protect these seeds, and the eldest brother and second brother will come with me to harvest these grains. ”
Da Lang and Erlang jumped into the soil in response, but Huang Daochang did not appear here, and early this morning, he was invited to Zaoyang City for treatment.
The officials were still skeptical, but after Zhao Zheng used a hoe to cut the soil, they were shocked, and some were teary-eyed, if what the little fairy said was true, then this should be the first contribution of the society in the past ten years, not a hundred years.
Then one farmer weighed the sweet potatoes harvested by the family, and the other carefully measured the size of the land on which the sweet potatoes were grown, and then calculated the yield per mu.
"Your Excellency!" The peasant officer was already in tears. (One pound in the Southern Song Dynasty is equivalent to 625 grams now)
"How much?" Shi Songzhi was also very excited.
"2,000 catties, 2,000 catties per mu!"
"Really?"
"Hmm...... It's true! ”
Shi Songzhi clenched his fists and shouted: "God bless the Great Song!" Before he finished speaking, he was hugged by an official next to him, and shouted wildly: "Two thousand catties!" ”
Shi Songzhi was also happy to join the crowd and shouted two thousand catties.
In the first year of Shaoding, officials of all sizes in Zaoyang, regardless of rank, old and young, embraced each other and carnivaled.
