Make an appointment with three or five friends in Bianjing City, and it is both decent and fashionable to go to Yunxuan to drink tea, and it doesn't cost much money to drink tea in Yunxuan, not to mention that in this scientific examination, Yunxuan sponsored the candidates to drink tea in the examination room.

If it weren't for the fact that the scientific examination was a national attention and a very serious matter, Wang would definitely put up a big banner in the examination room, which read: "If you are afraid of getting angry, drink Yunxuan tea, Yunxuan is a special sponsor for this scientific expedition!" ”

At the same time, it should also be noted that the top three in the scientific examination have the opportunity to live Yunxuan's free VIP silver medal throughout the year, pay attention to Yunxuan tea, and pay attention to the scientific examination

digressed, although Wang Bian didn't do much, but Yun Xuan's fame was not only famous for providing tea for the scientific examination, but also because since Wang Yansuo Lianzhong Sanyuan, Yun Xuan's fame has become even greater. What's more, the "tea tasting picture" with Wang Yansuo's inscription is hung in Yunxuan.

In the three days that Yunxuan was open to the public, before dawn, there would be some rich people who sent family members or scholars to line up for the master in the dark; There are even some people who hire people to line up, but they really don't have so much silver, so they simply get up early in the morning to line up by themselves. There are often people who come late on the opening day and do not have the qualifications to enter, and they regret to go.

These people can enter Yunxuan, in addition to seeing the famous poems and paintings in Yunxuan, or asking friends to show their worth, there is also a way to leave a pair of words in Yunxuan, maybe this character will be photographed by the emperor of the white dragon fish suit one day, so that even if they miss the top three, they still have a chance to be remembered.

The king ordered his men to keep them properly. In fact, it may not really be shown to the emperor, but who knows which of the paintings and calligraphy will be worth a thousand gold in the future. What's more, for Wang Bian, a person who traveled to the Song Dynasty, even if it is a piece of paper, a pen or a saucer and bowl, if anything can be brought back to modern times, it is a priceless treasure.

Every time Wang Bian tells Yuexia, his fantasy is actually Wang Bian's experience in modern times, such as houses, cars, mobile phones, computers, and Yuexia's eyes will light up, and even Wang Bian himself thinks that if he has the opportunity, he can return to modern times with Yuexia. It's no wonder that Wang Fang thinks so, in ancient times, in addition to reading books at night, it seemed that there was nothing to do even if he spoke in the dark light, especially now that he has the moon, it is impossible to sing songs every night.

People who leave home will be homesick, not to mention that Wang Fang has been in the Song Dynasty for three or four years, although he has adapted to the living habits of the ancients, but after all, he knows the legend of wearing ancient and modern stones, and there will always be some thoughts in his heart.

Time did not stand still, and Wang Bi was about to set off after the autumn exam. News came from Zhang Yi's beggar gang: the white stone god of Western Xia appeared. However, the content of the news is that the Western Xia Empress Liang gave birth to a son, who was worshiped as the god of white stone by the Western Xia people, and Wang Bi decided to investigate it himself.

When Wang was in Yanzhou, he had seen the Xixia people take the moon as a white stone god, but he knew in his heart that the ability to perceive other people's thoughts under the moon was given by the white jade. The stone under the moon has been shattered, are there other similar stones?

What he needs to solve now is the problem of the cost of buying horses. Since Li Enxi told Wang Pan that the actual funds of Meyer Mansion were not as Wang Bian imagined, Wang Pan realized that he had a mineral, a general charge of the tea industry in the capital, plus a restaurant and a tea shop, so much business turnover was only more than 1,000 taels of silver, which was 350,000 yuan of working capital in modern society.

Ever since Wang Pan thought of such a fold, his concept of money was much clearer. Three and a half million is really not much, not to mention that Yun Pick has been suppressed by the imperial court for a few months, and the more "Cloud Pick" is issued, the more money will be pressed next to the king.

Besides, raising horses is not a trivial matter, even if it is a hundred hectares of land, but the land for raising horses is mainly Longyou and Youyun, but in the Northern Song Dynasty, Longyou was occupied by Western Xia, and Youyun was occupied by Liao. Even if horses are raised in the interior during wartime, most of them lose most of them due to the road or water and soil horses on the battlefield. Although the horses supplied to the imperial court were quite profitable, if the survival rate was low when they came in handy, I am afraid that the king would not be able to eat and walk around. These things can't be solved by recruiting a franchise or designing a membership system.

However, the good news also came over time, and the issue of "Cloud Pick" with the recruitment of the franchise was distributed, and within ten days and half a month, there were Caozhou, Puzhou, and Jeju on Jingxi Road; Zheng, Cai, Ying, and Ru prefectures on Jingbei Road; There are also Xiang, Ding, Xing, Huai, Wei and other prefectures on Hebei West Road, which have local wealthy businessmen to join.

These states are relatively close to Bianjing, and the reputation of Jinxiulou has long spread to these places, and these places are also the fastest to get news. Among them, there were six or seven that met the king's requirements, so that the silver taels that were temporarily overturned were slightly more abundant.

Take time out to meet Wang Anshi and Bao Zheng, Wang Anshi is okay over there, Bao has been sick since the weather just entered the summer, Wang has visited a few times, but he is still not at ease. After all, Lord Bao treats himself well, regardless of the world's evaluation of Lord Bao, Wang and Bao still get along with each other, not to mention that Lord Bao protects Wang everywhere, so Wang can have today.

Wang Fang had so many things in his heart, he selected the best tea from the tea field, and was about to go to the house to visit Lord Bao, when he suddenly heard that the herald came to invite the king to meet him, and he was still very anxious. The king hurriedly changed his clothes and went into the palace with the herald.

The king saw Emperor Renzong sitting on the dragon chair, frowning and looking at the table of imperial food in front of him. Wang Fang pondered in his heart, wouldn't Emperor Renzong feel that the imperial food was not to his taste, so he let himself cook? If that's the case, I'd better leave the capital early, otherwise I'll really become an imperial chef.

He stepped forward to meet Emperor Renzong, and when he heard the emperor talk about being flat, he stood respectfully beside him. If it were to be changed, Renzong would have asked him a long time ago, but today Renzong didn't speak, and the king just stood like this, and there was silence in the room for a while. Renzong waved his hand, and the people on both sides of the retreat pointed to the seats next to the table.

Wang Bi understood that Renzong was in a bad mood today, he glanced at the dishes on the table, the dishes were relatively simple, this is the dream of all chefs to be an imperial chef, but if he became the imperial chef of Emperor Renzong, it would be a blessing. Renzong is the most simple emperor in the legend, not only eats simply at every meal, but also never adds food.

There is a story in the palace about Renzong who was hungry once and endured it all night. The next day, the queen asked him why he didn't let the imperial dining room make something to eat. Renzong replied that if he let the imperial dining room do it this time, the imperial dining room would prepare it for him every day in the future, which would not only be a waste but also affect the rest of the chefs and palace attendants in the imperial dining room. This incident and the few old dragon robes that Renzong wore in private every time Wang Bian saw Renzong, made Wang Bian very moved.

After a while, Renzong sighed: "Next to the king, which of the two dishes in front of me said is better?" ”

In front of Renzong, there is a colorful "Su Assorted Cake" closest to him, which is the "Splendid Rivers and Mountains" that the king has made for Renzong in the Splendid Building, and Renzong has been amazed; Another dish is wooden barrel mutton, named "a unified country", which is the same word, and this mountain is naturally the meat of the mutton.

Wang looked at it, Renzong may not be entangled because of the mutton or the assorted vegetarian. The emperor was entangled in the names of these two dishes, so the king said: "Holy Lord, these two dishes seem to be edible at the same time." I don't know why the Holy One didn't move his chopsticks? ”

Renzong shook his head: "Which emperor doesn't get involved in meat, but if you want to dominate the country, I'm afraid that this splendid river and mountain will inevitably be ruined." ”

Wang smiled next to him: "Then you have to choose one, if they are all cool, and both of them have no taste, it is better to choose one." Or both. ”

Renzong still didn't move his chopsticks, he pointed to the table: "I allow you to accompany me to eat, you choose the same." ”

Wang picked up the chopsticks, this wooden barrel of mutton is his favorite food, especially the imperial dining room must be made of high-quality lamb, the barrel is heated to maintain the meat is delicious, the splendid country is what he will do, in normal times he will definitely start to the unification of the country.

But the king's mind turned, the emperor was in such a hurry to recruit himself into the palace, it shouldn't be just because he didn't know what to eat. And now this dish is still steaming, it should be deliberately arranged by the emperor.

If the king is not stupid, he will not be stupid in his previous life. What's more, he has been mixed in the society for so many years, and he quietly grabbed a pair of chopsticks and said: "The grass people like to make this dish for the emperor, and I will also try to make this dish for the emperor, whether it is better than the grass people." ”

Renzong's frowning brows stretched slightly, and he looked at the king and asked, "How are you doing?" ”

Wang said that he put down his chopsticks and said: "The materials used in the imperial dining room are incomparable to the small restaurant of the grass people, but the grass people are naturally more attentive. There's no comparison. ”

Renzong laughed when he heard what the king said. Knowing that this king is shrewd, since there is such an important matter, he can rest assured, especially the border between the two countries, and now he knows that Wang next has no intention of peeking into the unification of the country.

He saw that the king was watching him, so he said: "The Western Xia has repeatedly violated the border harassment, and this matter is related to their salt production. Some people were arrested at the border, both the Song and the Western Xia, and they have not been dealt with for the time being. It is not known whether this matter was deliberately sent by Western Xia for this reason. ”

When the king listened, he knew that Renzong was looking for him, but it was not his turn to take care of the border affairs, so he listened to Renzong continue: "Originally, it was enough to have the border guards to carry out the order, but you have also heard the phrase Emperor Yuan, I think that there must be a hidden secret in the private salt trade here. I'm going to send you to check it out. ”

When the king heard this, he was going there anyway, so he said, "The grass people are willing to investigate this matter for the emperor."

Renzong nodded and continued: "There is another matter, the Western Xia Kingdom sent an envoy to say that I heard that there is a young Confucian merchant in my country, and there is an originality in this diet and tea, and he also invented fragrant cakes, and invites you to teach it. "This Western Xia man has been suffering from this problem since Li Yuanhao became emperor, and he sent envoys while harassing him.

No wonder the emperor wants to try himself, if he has the heart to peep at the country, it will be troublesome to turn around and collude with the Western Xia people. But the king really didn't have that plan, and the emperor was too superstitious, so he would receive the decree. Anyway, I have to go there myself, and I don't know if Xixia is too special because of the identity of the king, who is not an official and is favored and young, I want to see what it is.

Wang Fang was already famous, and he was determined to take advantage of this trip when he opened the door to Western Xia trade, and he was determined to make himself famous.
