The rich land in the south of the Yangtze River, the paradise on earth in Suzhou and Hangzhou, I am afraid that there are few officials in Beijing who do not want to go to Jiangnan to run errands, and Zhao Wenhua is no exception. knew that it was a hot potato, and he came running around, and he even promised Yan Shifan that he would give a generous gift after the matter was completed.

Yan Shifan is Yan Song's only son, extremely intelligent, insatiable, and a combination of a fox and a Pixiu. There are groups of wives and concubines around him, and everyone has to prepare a gift, just to deal with his godbrothers, Zhao Wenhua racked his brains. He first tortured Shen Liang with poison, took out more than 50 shops all over Suzhou and Hangzhou from his hands, equivalent to nearly 100,000 taels of silver, and then asked for bribes everywhere, getting almost 200,000 taels.

Zhao Wenhua thought about it, and he could barely satisfy Yan Shifan's appetite, but he couldn't work in vain. This guy is really bold enough to hit the Weaving Bureau with his idea.

Weaving eunuch Yang Xuan in Suzhou for a few years, secretly got 8,000 acres of mulberry field, originally kept for his own pension, under the name of the Weaving Bureau, Zhao Wenhua actually swallowed a mouthful, in addition to the three silk workshops under the Weaving Bureau. Dare to eat a bite of the inner court, he Zhao someone can definitely be called bold!

If you get a mulberry field and a silk workshop, you will get a cash cow.

However, if you want to shake out the money, you have to borrow heavy salt iron ponds to transport silk everywhere, and it just so happens that there is also a canal ticket number, which can store the silver you earn, and get yourself a small vault. This is also the reason why Zhao Wenhua came happily.

After coming, Tang Yi gave him a bigger surprise, those exquisite mirrors were the slightest hint of it, and they could see the beauty of the woman at a glance, and Yan Shifan's concubine would definitely like it. Although Tang Yi said five taels of silver a piece, the capital didn't know it after all, and it was a moment to be fooled. In this way, he can get an extra 350,000 taels of silver, after all, the landlord's family has no grain in stock.

Thinking of this, Zhao Wenhua was in a good mood, standing in the color shed, looking at the canal wharf, the green river was gurgling, a lot of willows were transplanted on the bank, and the tender green branches were drawn, the grass grew and the warbler flew, the peach red willow was green, and more than a dozen merchant ships were docked at the wharf, and the colorful flags were fluttering in the dense turns, festive and lively.

After reading it, Zhao Wenhua couldn't help but nod his head in praise.

"It's really amazing that a canal can be built in a few months!" Zhao Wenhua looked at Tang Shunzhi with a smile and said, "Brother Yixiu, you have accepted a good apprentice!" ”

Tang Shunzhi's face turned red, but he remembered that Tang Yi said that he was unwilling to join Xinxue at the beginning, and he later relied on the imperial examination to lure him into the bait, but the two of them only had the reality of teacher and student, not the name of teacher and student. It's embarrassing to say it, and the others begged to worship under his door, but in the face of Tang Yi, Tang Shunzhi, who had been asked by the world, lost his confidence.

"Mei Cun Gong, there is ...... between me and Tang Yi"

Without waiting for Tang Shunzhi to finish speaking, suddenly Tang Yi lifted his robe and hurriedly knelt in front of Tang Shunzhi.

"Mr. Jing Chuan, the late life admired Mr. character and knowledge for a long time, in the past year, Mr. taught by word and deed, and benefited a lot from his later life, and now Mr. went out of the mountain to work for the country, I am afraid that there will be no more opportunities to mention his life, and please accept Mr. Later as an apprentice!"

After speaking, Tang Yi bowed cleanly and knelt in front of Tang Shunzhi.

At this time, Wei Liangfu, who had not spoken, walked over with a smile.

"Yixiu, the child is sincere, take it."

Tang Shun was stunned and puzzled: "Shangquan Gong, aren't you afraid that I will rob the students?" ”

"Hahaha, you ask this kid, will he recognize me as a master?"

Tang Yi hurriedly said: "The kid doesn't dare, the two gentlemen are the kid's teachers." ”

The prefect Wang Chonggu also stroked his palms and smiled: "I have long heard that the name of Tang Prodigy, a famous teacher and a high apprentice, is a good story for the ages. Isn't even Confucius a lot of apprentices, so Mr. Jing Chuan shouldn't shirk it. ”

Tang Shunzhi didn't nod in a hurry, but leaned over and lowered his head, stared at Tang Yi, and said slowly, "Are you willing?" ”

Only they understand these four words, not only apprenticeship, but also join the line of Xinxue, from then on, Tang Yi is an organized person, of course, he must also undertake the mission of promoting Xinxue, for the justice of Yangming, and for the people.

Tang Yi gritted his teeth and said solemnly: "There is no end to learning, Gou is new every day, every day is new, and every day is new." The descendants may not be inferior to the predecessors, and the predecessors may not want the descendants to surpass themselves. ”

A few words were heard in the ears of others, only when Tang Yi was young and vigorous, holding back his strength to surpass the teacher. But Tang Jingchuan and Wei Liangfu understood that the person this kid wants to surpass is Wang Yangming, and it is Xinxue who wants to update and reform! After all, he still doesn't agree with the current psychology, so it depends on how far you can change!

"Shangquan Gong, since this is the case, let's accept this disciple!" Tang Shunzhi readily agreed.

Wei Liangfu said with a smile: "It's okay, since you are my apprentice, the old man will give you a word, Zeng Zi said that the scholar can't not be Hongyi, there is a long way to go." Benevolence is its own responsibility, and it is not too important, and after death, it is not far away. Let's call it Hongyuan! ”

"Thank you, teacher!"

Tang Shunzhi also smiled and said: "Shangquan Gong's expectations for you are so high, as a teacher, I only hope that you will really do things, and you will not be as good as doing a strategy, success and benevolence, you are in action, and the word I give you is to do it!" ”

Wang Yangming talks about the unity of knowledge and action, Tang Shunzhi has gotten along with Tang Yi, his thinking has changed a lot, from both knowledge and action to more practice, what is the use of knowing more if you don't do things! If we can make a little progress, we may be able to rush to the highest level where "practice is the only criterion for testing truth."

He gave Tang Yi the word "Xingzhi", which also contained his name, and the deep love between master and apprentice is self-evident.

Zhao Wenhua smiled happily: "Brother Yixiu is happy to be a disciple, congratulations, by the way, is there any wine?" ”

Tang Xiucai hurriedly stood up and said, "My lord, I have prepared a good wine, and I invite you to taste it." ”

There was a maid who came up with a tray, all the same glass wine utensils, crystal clear glasses, and bright red grape wine, far away, the aroma made people drunk.

"Hahaha, I've heard for a long time that there is a fine wine in Jiangnan, and when I saw it today, it was true!"

Zhao Wenhua picked up the wine glass and took a sip, the mellow taste bloomed on the tip of his tongue, and suddenly the pores of his whole body opened, he had drunk a lot of wine, but he had never been so mellow.

"Tang Inspection, such an immortal brewing elixir, I'm afraid it's not easy to come by, right?"

"Returning to Lord Qincha, this wine does need to be made with the best grapes and carefully brewed, but it is still on the barrel, and the humble duty has prepared two barrels of wine for the adults to taste slowly. If you like, there will be more wines this autumn, after the grape harvest. ”

"Okay, I'm waiting to taste it!"

Drinking here, bands singing in unison over there, melodious sounds like heavenly sounds. The chef's knives and spoons that have been prepared for a long time move together, and soon the dishes are full of color and flavor. Today's dishes are a bit unusual, each dish is extremely exquisite, not to mention, there is only a small bite, one per person, which makes people have a long aftertaste and full of freshness.

From the bottom of his heart, Tang Yi prefers a big table that is lively and lively, but everyone has the intention of hunting for curiosity, so in order to make Zhao Wenhua happy, he can only do this. Of course, he also considered getting a few beautiful women and putting them on a delicious meal.

The food is beautiful, it is estimated that Zhao Wenhua must like it, but it is difficult for others to say, even if Tang Shunzhi and Wei Liangfu don't start, Dad can throw him into the salt iron pond and drown the bastard son!

When the wine arrived, Zhao Wenhua updated the river and happily recited: "The bridge is low and red, the water in the south of the Yangtze River is long, and the green poplars are drifting." The spring breeze accompanied the dancing swallow, and said goodbye with dew. The smoke is soft and the pear blossoms are soft, the rain is delicate and the sun is shining, and the grass is urging the season. Draw the boat flute and drum, and the singing is wide and wide.

What is the ancient river of salt and iron, is there not much in the world, and the color and art are called unique? A wisp of red silk is biased to the left, and the boudoir is almost buried. If Yiguang and Ramie will grow old, who will be the philosopher? Qing song song, Qianqiu Yan said Jiang Ji. ”

The song "Nian Nujiao" is indeed done well, causing constant sycophants, shooting flowers, and shooting heights, but Tang Yi has a bit of the taste of Yanyu Yingsheng no matter how he listens, do you still want a girl?

Fortunately, I didn't let Liuying come today, otherwise Zhao Wenhua, a stinky rascal, might have done something!

Tang Yi secretly called for luck, seeing that the sun was passing in the middle of the sky, Zhao Wenhua was drunk and reluctant, and boarded the boat. Tang Shunzhi patted Tang Yi's shoulder vigorously and didn't say anything. In fact, from Tang Yi's actions today, Tang Shunzhi has already seen that maybe this kid is not something he can see through, but he values love and righteousness, especially when he apprentices in public, and he also reveals his heart, which means that he has not hidden it from himself, such a good boy will never become a big traitor, and he still has nothing to worry about.

"Okay, I won't be in the capital for long, and I have to return to the southeast as an official, and our master and apprentice will be able to meet soon!"

After Tang Shunzhi finished speaking, he didn't look back and got on the boat, leaving a dashing back, and the moment he turned around, a tear flowed from the corner of his eye.

"Set sail!"

With the shouts of the boatmen, firecrackers on both sides of the strait rang out in unison, cheers continued, and the Yantietang Canal was finally launched, carrying wealth and dreams, sailing into the distance.
