"W-what's going on?" Due to excessive surprise, Babu's voice stuttered a little, and although he had not studied physics, he knew that the temperature of metal conduction was very fast. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"This-" Liu Zongmin was stunned by the question, for a while he really had no way to explain the truth of the thermal insulation layer to the Tartar in front of him, and finally had to wave his hand: "I tell you now that you don't understand, let's talk about it next time!" ”

"Yes, yes!" Babu didn't dare to ask, for in his opinion, such supernatural mysteries could not be easily taught, let alone a beginner like him. Liu Zongmin looked at his sincere and frightened appearance, but felt a little sorry, so he casually pulled a few strands of asbestos fibers, threw them into the fire, and clamped them out after a while, still intact.

Looking at Babu's stunned appearance, Liu Zongmin's heart couldn't help but rise with a sense of pride, looking at the dress of this tartar should also be a first-class chieftain, if he talked to him like this in the past, he was afraid that he would have to kowtow seven or eight feet away, where could it be like now. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but secretly congratulate himself that he had met Liu Cheng and changed his fate.

"I still have something to do, so let's stop here today!" Liu Zongmin saw that the time was not early, he patted the other party's shoulder: "Wait a few days, I will go back to Chaoyi after the boiler installation here is completed, if you really want to learn, go to Chaoyi with me!" ”

"Chaoyi? Could it be that there are more supernatural spells over there? ”

"Magical spells?" Liu Zongmin was stunned for a moment, and then smiled and said: "Yes, there are many magical spells there, a hundred times more than this Naturalization City, and all of them here are passed from Chaoyi!" ”

"Okay, as long as I can learn supernatural spells, I am willing to go to the edge of the sky!" Babu rubbed his hands excitedly: "I'll go back and arrange it first, let people go back and inform my father Khan, and then I will go to Chaoyi with you." ”

Capital

Time flies quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it is already the early spring of Chongzhen's eighth year. Although the weather is still quite cold, the weeping willows next to the pavilion have already revealed a little bit of tender shoots on the originally bare branches, and from a distance there are also a little faint yellow-green, as long as a rain falls, these young shoots will be drawn out, showing the color of smoke willows. At that time, the people of the capital who were trapped in the house for a winter by the wind and ice and snow would also take off their heavy cotton jackets, take their wives and children in a donkey cart, and come to the willow forest outside the long pavilion to hold a wine party and enjoy this rare spring color. After all, no matter how chaotic this world is, life always has to pass.

In the long pavilion stood seven or eight young scholars, dressed in long robes, crowns, or gauze hats, and a few of them only wrapped their heads in scarves. Everyone's face was solemn, and from time to time they looked up at the road, as if they were waiting for someone. Twenty or thirty gray-headed house slaves stood outside the pavilion, and horses, donkeys and mules were led to the side of the road, gnawing on the grass that had just sprouted.

"It's coming, it's coming!" A seventeen or eighteen-year-old scholar shouted excitedly, and everyone hurriedly looked in the direction of his finger, only to see two donkey carts coming from the direction of the city, and the donkey carts were flanked by several brocade guards. Everyone hurriedly tidied up their clothes, walked out of the long pavilion, and waited by the roadside. After a while, the donkey cart walked to the side of the road, and the soldier who had just made a noise stepped forward to stop him, bowed down respectfully and said: "In the car, Mr. Shi Zhai is in the Xiahou Fangyu, and I have been waiting for Mr. here for a long time!" ”

The donkey cart stopped, and Huang Daozhou's voice came from inside the car: "Is it the son of Brother Dazhen (Hou Sui, the word Dazhen)?" ”

Hou Fangyu's face showed a hint of excitement, but his voice became more respectful: "It is here, I heard yesterday that Mr. was demoted out of Beijing, and I expected that I must pass through this place and wait here for a long time with a few friends!" ”

"Hey!" There was a sigh in the car, Huang Daozhou lifted the curtain and got out of the car: "The old man is angry with the Son of Heaven and is guilty of the crime, and others can't avoid it, why do you come to cause trouble?" ”

"When Mr. wrote the impeachment of Yang Thief, how did he not know that there would be today? I wait for the next child, although I can't do anything, how can I let my husband go on the road alone? Hou Fangyu said this, tapped his palm, and the house slave behind him came up with a vermilion lacquer disc, and he uncovered the red cloth covered with the disc, revealing a snowflake-like silver ingot underneath. He bowed his hand to those few men reservedly: "A few strong men, here are a hundred taels of silver, I want to say a few words to Mr., and please go to the pavilion to eat a few glasses of water and wine, and it is convenient for me to do so!" ”

These Jinyi guards are used to walking in the Beijing Division, and their eyes are the sharpest, how can they not see that these people in front of them are either sons of a family, or they are famous, maybe their bosses will call adults when they see their fathers and brothers. Since people are so generous and give their own face, don't be ashamed. For the hundred households hurriedly smiled: "We also have people's hearts, Lord Huang speaks up for the people of the world, and is a great loyal minister." I'm just being sent by my boss to go through the form! When he said this, he took the silver and took it to the long pavilion on the side, and his own house slave brought wine and food without mentioning it.

"Sir!" Hou Fangyu's face showed indignation: "In today's world, it is really a villain, a few months ago, almost everyone went to impeach Yang Thief, and the Son of Heaven said that he would depose Mr. and return to his hometown, and they all became dumb, not only did no one resign and return to your hometown with you, I invited them to see off Mr. yesterday, they were either sick or had something, they were clearly excuses, they were really villains, and I had a relationship with them in vain!" ”

"That's it! And it's no wonder they're not to blame! A wry smile appeared on Huang Daozhou's face, it turned out that the battle that had been stalemate in the court for a long time just two days ago had finally come to an end. To everyone's surprise, Yang Sichang, who was attacked by everyone for being indecent, won the final victory, and the Son of Heaven not only passed his tax increase and salary training, but also demoted more than ten ministers who attacked him most fiercely from their official positions and left Beijing within a time limit. As the Qingliu leader of the Zodiac Zhou was not spared, Hou Fangyu, who was called the "Four Sons of the Late Ming Dynasty" by later generations, listened to Huang Daozhou's lectures in Zhejiang, and his father Hou Sui and Huang Daozhou had old friends, so they contacted everyone to come to send, but they didn't want most people to make words to shirk, and there were only a few young scholars who had the deepest friendship on weekdays and did not come out.

"How to blame them!" Hou Fangyu said hatefully: "The matter is all bad in the hands of these villains, if everyone works together, how can Yang Thief deceive Shengcong?" How could things in the world be so corrupt? ”

"Fang Yu, things are not as simple as you think!" Huang Daozhou sighed: "It's not a question of whether to work together or not!" After experiencing this incident, I have also understood a lot of truths, it is not enough to have moral articles in this world, if you want to make a difference, you have to spend more time on the truth of helping the people through the world! ”

Although Hou Fangyu and the others didn't understand what Huang Daozhou meant, they still nodded, and then a loud shout came from not far away: "Is Mr. Shi Zhai's car ahead?" ”

"In the end, people's hearts are still on our side!" Hou Fangyu excitedly exchanged glances with everyone. I saw a carriage galloping along the official road, more than ten zhang away from the long pavilion stopped, driving a bearded strong man, he jumped out of the car, made a group gesture to everyone, and asked loudly: "But Mr. Shi Zhai?" ”

"Yes, exactly down there?" Huang Daozhou lined up the crowd and arched his hand: "Who is in the car, what is the matter with coming to find the old man?" ”

"Luckily, I caught up!" The man breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "My master has a few words to say to Mr., can Mr. get in the car?" ”

Hou Fangyu saw that the person who came refused to get out of the car, thinking that the other party was afraid of being seen by the Jinyi guard on the side, revealing his identity, and stepped forward and sneered: "If you want to talk to Mr., get out of the car, what is the reason for hiding in the car?" ”

"Fang Yu Hugh is talking nonsense!" Huang Daozhou stopped Hou Fangyu, but he knew that he was a suspect, and the Son of Heaven might still tolerate a few words with these young scholars who had not yet come out of the way, and talking alone with a mysterious person was probably another matter, with today's character, it was not impossible to send someone to catch up and give him a cup of poisoned wine. He arched his hand to the car and said loudly: "I am omnipotent and say to people on weekdays, all my students and children here, if you really have something to say to me, get out of the car and say it, otherwise please go back!" ”

"Since Mr. Shi Zhai said so, then I have to get out of the car with a cheeky face!" A gloomy voice came from inside the car, and then the curtain was lifted, and a person came down. Huang Daozhou's eyes widened suddenly, and he exclaimed, "Yang Wenweak? ”

"Yes, right down!" Yang Sichang had a wry smile on his face: "You didn't think I would come to see you off, right?" ”

"I really can't think of it?" Huang Daozhou honestly admitted: "You have driven all the enemies out of the court and taken over the power, which is already a complete victory." At this moment, it should be a celebration with the same party, why do you want to send me this old man? Didn't you come to see my jokes? When Hou Fangyu and the others heard that the person in front of them was Yang Sichang, they couldn't help but look at each other angrily, if it weren't for the burly figure of the coachman who looked quite brave, I am afraid that they would have rushed up directly and added fists and feet.

"A big win?" Yang Sichang smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Brother Huang, do you know? I envy you so much! You are now leaving this heap of right and wrong, returning to your hometown to write and teach, returning to the forest and springs, and living a fairy-like life. And my stay in Jingshi is like walking on thin ice, if he loses one day, I am afraid that what awaits me is a glass of poisonous wine, three feet of white silk. ”

"What?" Huang Daozhou couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard Yang Sichang say such frustrating words: "Then why are you—"

"Why am I still going to pay for the tax increase?" Yang Sichang sneered: "If you don't increase taxes, how can you increase your salary, how can you train your troops if you don't increase your salary, and how can you beg the thieves if you don't train your soldiers." This time it is to enter the central capital, and next time I am afraid it will be to enter Nanjing and Beijing. Brother Huang, you are a Qingliu official, you don't need to be a family, you don't know the current situation of the court. Let's put it this way, even if it was a cup of poisonous wine, the court would have to drink it dry in one gulp to quench its thirst for a while. ”

"It shouldn't be like this, right?" Huang Daozhou's momentum was suppressed by Yang Sichang's words.

"Why not?" Yang Sichang sneered: "You know what? This time, if it weren't for the Yangzhou Soldier Preparation Dao Xu Hecheng leading the troops to defeat the 'Yidou Valley' in Gaoyou, Caoyun would have been cut off. But this soldier under Lord Xu has been in arrears for several months, and he tried his best to raise money from the local gentry, so what if he doesn't get food next time? What will be the consequences? Mr. Shi Zhai, have you thought about it? ”

Although it was early spring, Zodiac Zhou's forehead was already covered with beads of sweat the size of soybeans. Although he didn't put much effort into the study of military rations, the importance of Cao Yun to the empire was still clear.

Yang Sichang saw Huang Daozhou's appearance, sighed and said, "Brother Huang, I won't say much about some things." In this position, I did a lot of things that I did reluctantly but had to do. I only have one thing to ask for, and I ask Brother Huang to agree. ”

After listening to Yang Sichang's words, Huang Daozhou's attitude also changed subtly, and he replied in a deep voice: "Yang Gong, please speak!" ”

"If the two ancestors of the Ming Dynasty can pacify the thieves and keep the Ming Dynasty for 300 years, then everything will naturally be fine! But if it doesn't work, there will be something I can't bear to say," Speaking of this, Yang Sichang paused slightly, and his voice suddenly became a lot lower: "Yang naturally only has one death to repay Jun's kindness, and the only thing in Jiangnan is to bother Brother Huang!" Speaking of this, Yang Sichang bowed down to the Zodiac Zhou.

Huang Daozhou was also infected by Yang Sichang's words, and said proudly: "Yang Gong, please rest assured, since Huang has eaten Junlu, he should naturally repay Jun's kindness, even if God does not bless me Daming, there is only one death!" ”

Yang Sichang shook his head: "Brother Huang, I'm not worried about the temperament. Now is not a peaceful season, and moral articles are not as good as soldiers' money and food. Fan Wen Gongyun: If you live in a temple, you will worry about its people, and if you are far away from the rivers and lakes, you will worry about its king. If you can give lectures in Jiangnan and train a group of talents who are allowed to write and martial arts, especially firearms, in case of emergency, wouldn't it also be a great achievement? ”

When Huang Daozhou heard this, his eyes couldn't help but light up, Yang Sichang's words were expected by Fan Zhongyan, but they just scratched his itch, not to mention that after this change, he also had a deeper understanding of the limitations of moral articles. He solemnly replied: "Yang Gong is responsible for righteousness, and Youxuan dares not to do his best?" ”

"Good, good! Brother Huang's words, I don't have to worry about it! Yang Sichang said this, walked to the willow tree on the side of the road, folded a willow branch and said with a smile: "The ancients gave farewell to the willow branch to send the meaning of retention, I gave the willow to Brother Huang today, but I expect Brother Huang to be like this willow branch, into the soil that is alive, shade one side." ”

"Thank you Yang Gong!" Huang Daozhou took the willow branch with both hands solemnly, turned to Hou Fangyu who was on the side, and bowed to Yang Sichang. At this time, someone else sent wine, and the two drank a glass of each other, and Yang Sichang said that he was on business, turned around and boarded the car to leave. Looking at the distant car shadow, Huang Daozhou couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion, and suddenly heard Hou Fangyu beside him say in a low voice: "Sir, Yang Wenwan asked you to lecture on the military in Jiangnan, isn't it to frame you?"
