In the cold winter, when I set off from Chang'an City, I even encountered a big storm, and since I entered Zhang Jian, I felt that although the weather was still okay, there was no such feeling of freezing my heart and lungs. As early as Cui Jianxuan opened him through the news, he always wanted to start the Ministry as soon as possible, and the selection time of the Ministry every winter was fixed, and he was not a celebrity, so it was impossible to be sure in advance, so when it was finalized, Qi naturally couldn't pick any weather.

The only thing that relieved him was the Shu Road, although it had gone through hundreds of thousands of years of passers-by stepping on the post stations and inns of the previous dynasties and official mansions, and there was nothing to worry about. When this was also thanks to Cui Jianxuan, he generously lent him several entourage, of course, and at the same time brought a New Year's gift to Du Shiyi.

When he hurried and finally arrived at the Sanhua Downstairs at the east gate of Chengdu on the twenty-third day of the lunar month, he couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief. On the horse, he took off his leather gloves and rubbed his hands, and he saw that the servant was there to pick him up with the guard, so he looked up at this famous place left by Yang Xiu, the king of Shu. Just as he was distracted, he suddenly heard a voice and looked up, and saw a guard with a boy of twelve or thirteen years old approaching him.

The young man raised his hand respectfully, and then raised his head and asked, "But Zhang joined the army who went to Shuzhou to take office?" ”

Zhang Jianjian saw that although he was dressed in a simple way, he had an indescribable jīng, which was definitely not a servant, and immediately said on the horse: "Do you dare to ask Xiao Langjun who is ......?"

"In Xia Chen, Ji Feng Du Shizhi is here to greet Zhang to join the army. Du Shi and Wei joined the army and had been waiting for Zhang to join the army for a long time, and they asked Zhang to join the army and enter the city with me. ”

Hearing this name, Zhang Jian suddenly remembered that Cui Jianxuan had mentioned to himself that Du Shiyi had accepted a pendulous boy from the countryside as a disciple in Shuzhong. He heard that there was still some acceptance at that time, but at this moment, seeing this generous young man, not to mention that there is no country vulgarity, it is those idle officials and eunuchs in Chang'an City who may not be able to meet his interests, and he can't help but secretly respect Du Shiyi's eyes. smiled and promised, he and the servant and the accompanying carriage and horse followed the young man into the east, and when he saw the other party leading the horse and jumping on the horse, leading him forward, he suddenly couldn't help but ask.

"Du Ming Mansion only let you pick me up?"

When Chen Bao'er heard this, he stopped riding his horse, and showed a somewhat shy smile on his face: "Master Du originally said that I should bring another entourage, but for months, Master Du wants to organize tea, and the Si Zhu is very busy, but I am worried that there is not enough manpower, and I often go out of Chengdu, and the roads in the city are already familiar, and even most people at the city gate know me, so I resigned." ”

Zhang Jian had been all over the public when he was in Chang'an, but it was difficult to find, but at this moment, seeing Chen Bao'er's ears slightly haired, and his hands holding the reins were not wearing hands, he couldn't help but feel a move in his heart: "Then you have been waiting at the city gate for a long time?" ”

"That's as it should be." Chen Bao'er shook her head and said sincerely: "Since Master Du ordered me to pick me up, I always have to prevent Zhang from joining the army, in case it is early, so I came early in the morning." The city gate had avoided reciting silently these days, and a while time passed. ”

He suddenly realized that Shi looked down at his slightly red face from the cold, and was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly explained: "Don't make a mistake about joining the army, before the winter, Master Du prepared ear warmers and hands for me, but I don't want it myself." From thrift to luxury, from luxury to thrift"

This child is so stoic and simple-hearted

Zhang Jian praised the two in his mouth, but he was not without emotion in his heart. When he heard Chen Bao'er go all the way and heard him say that he was not going to Chengdu County, but Wei Li's private affairs, he suddenly felt more relaxed.

As soon as he entered the official private friendship, it will gradually give way to a high official position, it is rare to get a few sincere friends, he is an official in the south of the Yangtze River, although there are a few friends who sing poetry and have good contacts, but everyone will change their ways to find out about his friendship with Du Shiyi, and over time, he will know that he is a son of the side branch of the Zhang family in Xuancheng, if he is not against the light of the seventh year of Kaiyuan, Jingzhao Mansion to solve the test, etc., and the eighth year of Kaiyuan Jinshi and the first, I am afraid that he is still the down-and-out scholar who no one cares about back then.

Compared with Fanchuan Wei in the south of Chang'an City, Wei's mansions are lined with the best of the best, and Wei Li's mansion in Chengdu is low-key and simple. The outside is surrounded by rammed earth, and the sight suddenly opens from the gate that looks a little narrow, and Jane saw Du Shiyi and Wei Li coming out together, and hurriedly walked two steps quickly, Shang Yin smiled: "One is three, I thought that the meeting was always long, but I didn't expect it to be in this Bashu land."

"What you said is right, Du Jiu, didn't he quietly transfer all of us here?" Wei Li squinted, Du Shiyi went up as soon as he went up and grabbed Zhang Jian's arm: "Come on, it's easy to gather three of the ten people today to drink and drink, I have prepared three urns of Jiannan to burn and irrigate you."

Seeing that Wei Li couldn't help but drag Zhang Jian in, Du Shiyi couldn't help but wait and find that Chen Bao'er was still standing there, so he beckoned and called someone over. Looking up and down at himself, the eldest brother who started the mountain, he had the heart to say a few words, but when the words came to his mouth, it still turned into a piece of advice: "Don't just think about it, you can't put anything, your limbs can't be separated, although it is against your origin, but don't overkill." Go back today and put the tablet out and go to rest. If you don't have cold hands, you can't practice, but it will delay your schoolwork even more."

"Du Shi ......"

Chen Bao'er immediately lowered her head in shame. And Du Shiyi didn't say anything else, nodded slightly, and turned around and entered the second gate. Chen Bao'er was of course a whim when he received it at the beginning, he didn't think too much about it, it was just pure love, but after really spending time and heart on him, he knew that he had found a real piece of jade.

Whether it is qualifications or heart, this is a rare child, especially in learning, Chen Baoer always stubbornly wants to do some chopping wood and carrying water, etc., and is unwilling to forget his humble appearance, especially when he casually said a sentence from thrift to luxury, from luxury to thrift, the little guy even begged him to write a banner and hang it on the wall of his room, which made him praise and sigh.

Even he didn't know where his teachings would take the child

Walking into the warm chūn room from outside, Du Shiyi casually took off the silk jacket outside, stepped forward and sat down on another vacant seat left by Wei Li and Zhang Jian. The two of them seemed to really drink as soon as they entered the room, and Hong Weili, who was a little drunk on both sides, even said with a smile: "Zhang Liu was still pulling me hard just now, and I was working hard to be an official outside, haha, I have to look at the face of my boss, and I have to beware of subordinate officials, and I don't even have the effort to mess with flowers and grass, but your daughter-in-law hasn't married the great disciple of the mountain, but she has already accepted it."

"Why does Zhang Liulang envy me as a good apprentice?" Du Shiyi raised the glass of wine in front of him and drank it, and when he saw that Zhang Jian really praised Chen Bao'er, he put down the wine cup and said: "Although I am half-believed in Buddhism and Taoism, not only did I meet Bao'er, it was indeed fate." What is even more rare is that he is diligent and pure, but he does not lose the sensitivity to judge good and evil. Now I think that every time there is a little aftermath, if I miss it at that time, maybe a piece of flawless Heshi Bi will be buried in the countryside in vain. ”

"Okay, even if Maxima also has to ask for an uncle, don't provoke us poor people who haven't found good talent and beauty so far," Wei Li angrily tore off a piece of deer breast and stuffed it straight into Du Shiyi's mouth, then looked at Zhang Jian and said: "Du Jiu, this guy wants you to come to Jiannan, that is ill-intentioned." Although there is a little bias in being your second Sihu ginseng, Du Jiu's goal is naturally not to travel thousands of miles to let you just let any of you join the army, your predecessor Yang Xuan has been sent to Yazhou by Du Jiu to be Sima, do you understand the meaning? ”

Zhang Jian was a little unaccustomed to this kind of conversation, looked at Wei Li and then at Du Shi, thinking for a moment before he realized that he had lost his voice and said, "Mo, do you want me to go to Yazhou to replace that Yang Sima when my term of office expires?" ”

"That's right," Wei Li raised the pair of chopsticks in his hand and smiled down, "He Du Nineteen doesn't mean to be called a drunkard, but if you want me, he is Ming Xiu Plank Road and secretly crosses Chen Cang, he transferred me to the Yizhou Metropolitan Governor's Mansion before, everyone thought that he was letting me be a nail in it, and gave him a ventilating report to Fan Chengming, but in fact, he was actually looking for a successor for himself, as for you, too, if Yang Xuanyan knew that he had just been on Du Nineteen, even his successor was looking for a good look, this face must be very good-looking."

"Don't listen to Wei Fourteen's nonsense."

Du Shiyi saw that Zhang Jian was said by Wei Lidong with a hammer and a stick in the west, so he had to interrupt Wei Li's words. After tidying up his head, he patiently explained to Zhang Jian: "Now the trend of drinking tea is gradually becoming popular from Shuzhong, and even as far as the northeast, the Xi people and the deeds are all fond of tea, and the same is true of Tubo, which is close to Shu. Compared with the bitter cold Xi people and the Qi Tubo people, as long as they form a tea drinker, it is absolutely impossible to leave this place, and tea is not only an ordinary goods, but a strategic material. ”

This fresh mention made Zhang Jian and Wei Li feel a little meaningful, the two looked at each other, and heard Du Shiyi propose that the government should establish an integrated register for all Shuzhong tea gardens, and the Tea Quotation Division would calculate the output of each tea garden in advance every year according to the previous year, and then issue tea according to the output, and at the same time formulate the minimum guide price for tea collection. If the price offered by the merchant is lower than the minimum guideline, the tea plantation can sell the tea directly to the tea guide company according to the minimum guide price. Merchants can only buy in the tea garden with the tea introduction, and the merchants are not allowed to hand over the tea privately, and set up checkpoints around the tea-producing area to search to prevent the tea from being introduced without quotation, and the tea quotation is used as the income of the tea quotation company...... Listening to this, they really showed their surprise.

"It's ...... Tea in disguise? ”

"It's not just tea, it's just that it's not completely a government official, but a tea tax is collected from merchants in the name of tea."
