During the banquet, Shen Kuo repeatedly mentioned his student named Li Jie, and said that Wang Pan also wanted to meet this person named Li Jie. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

For two days in a row, Shen Kuo came to Wang Bian after finishing his official business, and Wang Bian saw that Shen Kuo came alone, so he was a little puzzled but not good to ask more. On this day, when Li Gefei finally arrived in Yangzhou, Wang Bi and he had not seen him for many years, and they were naturally very affectionate when they met. The two don't need to talk about the old days, I heard that Wang Bi talked about setting up an office in Yangzhou to open a bank and other businesses, Li Gefei patted his chest and vouched that his three-year term had just begun, and as long as Wang Bi began to do this in Yangzhou, he would help him.

set the date of departure, and Wang Fang went to the prefect Hu Su one by one and sentenced Wang Gongchen to say goodbye.

Hearing that Shen Kuo and Li Gefei were going to give Wang Fang a trip in Wangchun Tower, the little sister bowed her head and was silent, and when Wang was about to go out, she blushed and instructed: "Husband should drink less and get less flowers and grass." ”

Wang Bi immediately understood what the little sister meant, Yangzhou is a place of fireworks, and this land of fireworks has two meanings: one is to say the beautiful spring scene, and the other is to say that the geisha. Wangchun Tower is the most famous restaurant in Yangzhou, and naturally there are official prostitutes who sell wine and beautiful geisha. He deliberately teased his little sister and said: "Lady's words are not appropriate, when our Song Taizu was 'releasing military power with a glass of wine', he publicly encouraged the ministers to 'buy more songs and dancing girls', how can you go against Zu Xun?" ”

Of course, Su Xiaomei knew that what Wang was talking about was a joke, and she said coquettishly: "Phew, you have many reasons, the Taizu of the people has laid down the country, and encouraging the ministers to 'buy more songs and dancing girls' is to let the ministers enjoy themselves and be comfortable, and not want to make progress." Take it as a holy decree. The little sister was coquettish, which made the king laugh.

Wangchun Tower, just west of Changchun Lake in Yangzhou, this Changchun Lake is the moat of Songcheng, and it is also the flood channel for Shugang mountains and rivers to flow to the canal. It is said that the descendants of Changchun Lake may not know, but when it comes to Slender West Lake, it is a famous beauty in later generations. Lakeside Hongqiao Range Rover, Long Causeway Spring Willow. Wangchun Lou is even more beautiful in spring, singing and accompanying the wine courtesans with beautiful faces, Wang next to the secret thought of Yangzhou many beauties, no wonder the little sister wants to tell him.

In the private room on the second floor, Li Gefei and Shen Kuo were already waiting there, and the two of them were talking about something with their heads bowed, and their expressions were still very serious. Seeing the king walk in, Shen Kuo stopped the topic and said, "Today, the two of us will give our brothers a meal, and we won't go home if we don't get drunk." ”

Wang Bi asked while wiping his hands with a wet towel from Xiao Er, "Why are you giving me food?" Isn't Brother Shen going back to the capital? ”

Li Gefei said: "The case in his hand can't be closed, and I don't think he can go back." ”

Wang Pan thought that when Shen Kuo introduced him to the prefect and the general judgment that day, his words revealed that the case was a little troublesome, and the case has not been concluded to this day, so it seems that it is not going well, so he asked with a smile: "What case makes Brother Shen bothered so much?" Do you have to settle it before you can take office? ”

Shen Kuo looked at the king: "Just like you help me think about it, my head is too big to think about this matter." We have a family in Yangzhou who rented the house to a foreigner, and the head of the family saw that the man had a box of gold, and he thought crookedly. When the man was out of the house, he pretended to be a thief and entered the house and stole the chest of gold. The family had borrowed a lot of debts, and he used the gold to pay off the debts, but it was discovered that the gold was fake. So they sued him to the government. He confessed to the tenant again, and guess what? The tenant did not admit that the fake gold was his. ”

Li Gefei listened to Shen Kuo's words, shook his head and said to the king: "If not, is our brother Shen too stubborn, this is not a big case, that person admitted that he stole and sentenced him to steal." As for the debts owed, he had to repay them again. If the Gentile does not admit it, then he will not be returned. Could it be that you are still worried about other cases being implicated here? This will implicate others, won't you be even more unable to leave? ”

Shen Kuo pouted: "What this Gentile says is a bunch of babbling, don't we understand?!" If this case wants to be closed, it is not impossible. But you know my problem, this fake gold is made of the same as the real thing, and the color is like the softness of the same, and it is also like the real thing. I didn't leave because I wanted to ask how he did it. ”

When he said this, Wang Jian was absolutely understandable, Shen Kuo had to study the curious things thoroughly, not to mention that Shen Kuo couldn't let go of this matter, even Wang Jian was interested in listening to it.

"What? Isn't there an interpreter in the state capital? The king asked puzzled.

Shen Kuo replied: "Translator? That's an official of the imperial court. Yangzhou extends in all directions, and there are many foreign countries coming and going, but it is different. There are so many vacancies in translators, but some local businessmen in Yangzhou are proficient. But it's all in business, whether to buy or not, to sell or not, how much silver...... When I asked them to translate, the result was that the foreigner would say, "Trouble, trouble, and the interpreter said that he just wouldn't admit that the box was his." Shen Kuo said as he learned the expression of a foreigner waving his hand.

Trouble, trouble? Wang looked at Shen Kuo's expression when he spoke, could he mean no? Could it be Europeans and Americans? Could it be that the Song Dynasty already had maritime trade with Europe and the United States? The king became more and more interested, "What is this Gentile like?" ”

Shen Kuo stretched out his hand and gestured: "Big tall, yellow hair, that face, white and scary"

Wang Bi was beating a drum in his heart, and he knew a little bit of English, although he couldn't talk about level four or six, but a simple conversation was still no problem. Do you want to do it yourself? I heard Shen Kuo sigh and say, "How can there be anything I can't figure out?" ”

Li Gefei looked at his contemplative appearance, and said with a smile: "Okay, I think it's you, others try cases for fame and promotion, and you try cases for thinking about strange things." ”

Shen Kuo said unconvinced: "Of course you have to think about it, otherwise everyone will be fooled!" ”

"Alarmist!" Li Gefei didn't take what he said to heart.

Wang looked at Li Gefei and didn't care, thinking that this guy is now in charge of Caosi, although he is full of poetry and songs, but he is an idiot for financial calculations, he said with a smile: "Brother Li, this fake gold is not a trivial matter." Spending fake gold is a scam, and if fake gold and silver are prevalent, it can disrupt the money market. That's a big problem. ”

"Or you two can talk together, Brother Shen, you hurry up to try your case, and Lord Wang, you hurry up and open your bank. Oh~ I know, no wonder you care so much about this matter, if someone takes this fake gold to deposit in the bank, then the prince will lose a lot of money! Haha" Li Gefei turned the topic to the king, and said in his heart, this prince has nothing else to do, he still mixes it, not to mention that this matter has to do with him? But having said that, of course, Li Gefei also hoped that Wang would help Shen Kuo figure out this matter, and the three of them chatted while eating in front of the table full of wine and food.

"Uncle Wen is right!" Hearing Li Gefei say this, Shen Kuo seemed to be inspired: "King Zhennan, you have to help think about what to do about this." ”

Wang Fang thought to himself, just now he was thinking about not caring about this matter, and all of a sudden this matter will be spread on his head. "Haha, what's the big deal? I'll leave two days late, won't it be enough to help you determine the case? ”

"Two days? If you can conclude within two days, then my time is not in vain~" Shen Kuo said unconvinced.

The king smiled: "For two days, Ming will show me the case file first, and then take me to the residence of the Gentiles." In short, the results will be given to you in two days. ”

Probably a little hot just said, Shen Kuo ordered someone to open the window, the private room is next to the window, and a white marble bridge can be seen outside the window, elegant and beautiful, and the bridge is full of pedestrians. Wang recognized that this was called the Twenty-Four Bridge in later generations, and he asked Shen Kuo with a smile: "Brother Shen is so serious, do you know why the bridge outside the window is called the Twenty-Four Bridge?" ”

"Twenty-four bridges? I haven't heard of this...... You say his name is Twenty-Four Bridges, but is there any evidence? He thought hard as he spoke.

It turns out that this bridge is not called the Twenty-Four Bridge now? The king can't admit defeat: "According to legend, Emperor Yang of Sui once borrowed twenty-four palace maids to blow Xiao here on a moonlit night, so it was named Twenty Bridges." I have Tang poems as proof, on the moonlit night of the twenty-four bridges, where can the jade teach? ”

Wang Bian felt that what he said was quite reasonable, who knew that Shen Kuo smiled and leaned back together: "Brother, you are too funny, you have to say that there are a total of twenty-four bridges in Yangzhou, which I believe, the westernmost is the Turbidity River Tea Garden Bridge, followed by the East Daming Bridge; There is a nine-curved bridge into the west water gate, followed by the south gate of the east is just handsome, there is the dismount bridge, and the east workshop bridge, the east river of the bridge turns to the south, there is the horse washing bridge, and then the south bridge ...... "he really counted out more than 20 in one breath.

This Shen Kuo is really a bit more serious, Wang Bigang was about to praise him Shen Kuo's words changed: "Ten years of Yangzhou dream, won the Qinglou Bo Xing name." Thinking about the Tang Dynasty, Du Mu has won the reputation of prostitutes in Yangzhou for ten years. Brother, this is taken out of context, it should be twenty-four Jiao, especially from Du Mu's work, and the word makes people think about it! Hahaha"

The three of them laughed together, and Wang thought to himself, fortunately he didn't bring Su Xiaomei here, otherwise Shen Kuo, who didn't open the door when he spoke, would have made Xiaomei blush. Wang Jian thought of the person recommended by Shen Kuo, so he asked: "Brother Shen has been in Yangzhou for a few years, I'm afraid that I won't have the harvest of Du Mu, but you have finally gained good students, why haven't I seen it yet?" ”

Shen Kuo was cramped for a while: "This, this, my student, is more serious than me." He said that he only wanted to apprentice, but he heard that the king of Zhennan was only in his early twenties, and he didn't know what you could teach him......

Hey, this is interesting, Wang Bian has been rejected twice in Yangzhou since he was born, once is that Qin Guan, the child is still young, Wang Bian doesn't care about him, and Wang Bian has the impression that Qin Guan is talented and also in literature, and the most important thing in the Great Song Dynasty is literati. This Li Jie even took a handful? If you just leave, it will be underestimated. The twist next to the king came up, and now he is really going to accept this person from Yangzhou. "Oh? Where does this Li Jie live? Catch up with Brother Shen and take me to see ......"

Shen Kuo thought to himself, this king is just joking, how could a dignified king of Zhennan go to see a craftsman?
