Outside the gate of the Jingnan State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Institute, tens of thousands of strong laborers are building the cement road from the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Institute to Bianjing under the hot sun. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ//、qb5、c0m//

This cement avenue called Guobian Road by Zhao Lei has already planned the construction plan, the Guobian Avenue with a length of 15 miles and a width of 10 zhang has now been built almost 100 meters long.

On the fifteen-mile-long planned land of Guobian Avenue, there are square boulders everywhere, and four giant trees are stuck around the boulders, and eight strong workers keep shouting to lift the boulders and smash them heavily on the road.

Within a kilometer of the entrance of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Institute, next to several piles of sand piled up like mountains, there are constantly wheelbarrows pulling things back and forth, and not far from the construction road, dozens of people are holding iron rods to stir the cement in the pit.

Not far from the entrance of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Institute, thousands of new sergeants were curiously watching a group of workers squatting on the freshly poured cement pavement, smoothing the pavement with the tools in their hands.

The sun is very poisonous, under the high temperature exposure, the road surface repaired yesterday can already walk today, Zhao Lei, Su Xun and other officials of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Institute have stood on the 100-meter road section repaired yesterday, carefully observing the newly unearthed Da Song cement road.

Su Xun curiously stomped on the road with his foot, and after no reaction at all, he directly called a Changge guard and ordered the guard to slash at the road.

Bite! Changge hit the road, but there was a metallic symphony, and the sparks were still visible in the sunlight.

"It's a hard pavement!" Su Xun gasped and looked at the hundred-meter-long cement road in astonishment.

"Hard is not the characteristic of cement roads, and the stone pavement of Yujie is also very hard, but the price is very different! Think about the time when the royal street was built, the imperial court mobilized thousands of stonemasons. Quarrying the four seas stone grinding for three years, costing millions, before there is the appearance of Baizhang Yujie, and only a short six miles, now adults understand the cement, this kind of thing is the same as the slate, strong and not afraid of rain, repair a road can be used for decades, the most important thing is cheap, the material is easy to find. Fifteen miles of road surface can be completed in ten days, and the emergence of cement is bound to reduce the labor of the people to build roads, benefit the country and the people, and the merit is in the future! Xue Xiang said with a flattering smile to Zhao Lei.

"Lord Xue is right, the construction of cement roads is indeed a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, but if you want to build a cement road to reach the Quartet of the Great Song Dynasty, there is no century-old plan, and you don't want to succeed." Pomber was now crouching on the concrete pavement. Stroking the sand pavement said.

After Pomber finished speaking, Zhao Lei did not answer at all. He didn't know what was going on, so he turned his head to look behind him, but saw Zhao Lei looking in the direction of Bianjing in the north, frowning and thinking about something.

"What are you thinking?" Pomber stood up and walked to Zhao Lei's side and asked in a deep voice.

"The group of students at the gate of the imperial city, I don't know what is happening now." Zhao Lei came back to his senses and said indifferently to Pang Bai.

It has been four days since the imperial city was written, although Zhao Lei personally experienced the twists and turns, but in order to avoid the political whirlpool in the imperial city, Zhao Lei has not even entered Bianjing in the past few days. The specific matter, before the court report was inconclusive, Zhao Lei really didn't know very well.

"These students are all older students, and Master Fan reformed the imperial examination. The change in the content of the scientific expedition had a great impact on them, so they jointly wrote a letter, hoping to change back to the original scientific expedition mode. However, the scale of thousands of students is too small, no one will take it to heart, and these people are poor, and there is no one behind them to support them. Su Xun said to Zhao Lei next to him.

What do you know, a spark can start a prairie fire! How can it be so simple, even if Fan Zhongyan escapes this catastrophe, this Shangshu incident will become an excuse for conservatives to attack the New Deal, even if the New Deal is over, the Shangshu incident will become Fan Zhongyan's bad dream, and an excuse to prevent Fan Zhongyan from returning to Beijing. Zhao Lei turned his head to look at Su Xun with a bitter thought in his heart.

Zhao Lei was bitter for Fan Zhongyan in his heart, and now Fan Zhongyan is even more bitter in his heart.

The Xuande Building of the Imperial City was originally the place where the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty summoned foreign guests, prisoners of war and had fun with the people, but now it has become the place where thousands of scholars listen to the books, in front of the Xuande Building, under the scorching sun at noon, thousands of scholars quietly kneel on the royal street, look at it from the height of the Xuande Building, the black pressure oppresses the scholars who kneel in a piece, giving people the feeling of being very depressed.

Among the scholars who knelt in front of the Xuande Building, Ouyang Xiu, Han Qi, Fu Bi and others were pulling a few scholars with outstanding virtue to keep appeasing, but Fan Zhongyan could only hide in the cool and remote place above the Xuande Building.

Fan Zhongyan can only hide and can't show up, in the past few days, Fan Zhongyan has appeared in front of Xuande Building several times, but he was surrounded and reprimanded by the angry scholars, the taste of Qianfu is not good, and Fan Zhongyan is like a fuse,

The current scholar's mood will be very excited, so Ouyang Xiu took over the appeasement and directly asked Fan Zhongyan to hide aside to discuss countermeasures.

Ouyang Xiu was kind and asked Fan Zhongyan to find someone to discuss countermeasures, but after the scholar was born, the official Zhao Zhen lived in seclusion and avoided it, and Lu Yijian, the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty, also hid in the Lu Mansion under the pretext of cultivating for a few days and did not go out, and Wang Su, another counselor and political minister, went to Huashan overnight to discuss the road, and in the entire Bianjing City, Fan Zhongyan couldn't find a minister to discuss for a while, and the matter was so deadlocked.

Fan Zhongyan stood in the stairs of Xuande Building, his face was a little pale, his spirit was a little sluggish, and he looked as if he was ten years old.

"Are they still reluctant to leave?" Fan Zhongyan asked weakly to his friend Yu Jing, who was accompanying him.

"Still negotiating with Uncle Yong, they have already threatened to kneel in front of Xuande Building unless we restore the imperial examination to the original system, a group of pedantic guys!" Yu Jing said angrily with disdain for those scholars.

"Is there a reply from the official family?" Fan Zhongyan asked with an ugly face.

"No, it's still the chamberlain who said to let Master Fan watch it, and he didn't mention the official's affairs at all." Yu Jing hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said.

"Look at it! Without the will of the officials, how dare I watch it, more than a thousand scholars! If I don't do it, this matter has spread to all walks of life in the Great Song Dynasty, and the impact is so great, how can I step down, the official family is ready to force me to a dead end! Fan Zhongyan said with a sad sigh.

Looking at Fan Zhongyan's sad face, Yu Jing was also very uncomfortable in his heart, although those scholars were pedantic, but after all, they were thousands of scholars! The status of the scholars of the Great Song Dynasty has always been very high, and the killing of scholars in the law is a capital crime, and now more than 1,000 people have been kneeling outside for nearly three days, in case one of these weak scholars dies, public opinion alone can take the lives of these people, not to mention the anger of the officials caused by improper handling of this matter.

"Why don't you agree to these gentlemen's requests first, and let them go back first." Yu Jing hesitated and asked in a low voice.

"No! With this beginning, can our new deal continue! The new deal is related to the Great Song Dynasty, and now that the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty has just gained a look, how can it stop there! Fan Zhongyan heard Yu Jing's words, his face sank and he said solemnly.

"If you want to solve this matter, you still need the nod of the official family, I will go to the forbidden middle school in person, if the official family doesn't see me again, I will simply kneel in front of the forbidden middle gate." Fan Zhongyan finished speaking angrily and was about to leave.

"Master Fan, it turns out that you are here, but you can call this official easy to find! The official family has a holy decree to come down, let Lord Fan agree to some of the conditions of those scholars, and let those scholars go back first! Gan Ling, the chamberlain beside the official Zhao Zhen, suddenly appeared in the stairs, and after seeing Fan Zhongyan, he said with a dark smile.

Seeing that the fire-fighting water was coming, Fan Zhongyan, who was overjoyed, respectfully accepted the holy decree and sent Gan Ling away, and opened the holy decree impatiently, but he looked puzzled.

"What does the official decree say?" Yu Jing looked at Fan Zhongyan anxiously and asked.

"The official family asked us to agree to some conditions for the scholars to go back." Fan Zhongyan said to Yu Jing in a puzzled tone.

"What about the conditions?" Yu Jing asked curiously.

"I don't know, the official decree doesn't say it clearly, it seems that we have to watch it." Fan Zhongyan glanced at the holy decree again, and said to Yu Jing helplessly.

When Yu Jing heard Fan Zhongyan's words, he immediately began to think hard about how to survive this crisis with the least impact and the least cost.

"Brother Xiwen, we can really agree to some of the conditions of these scholars!" Yu Jing suddenly thought of some key questions, and his eyes lit up and said to Fan Zhongyan.

"Oh! What conditions? Fan Zhongyan couldn't think of a way, and asked curiously when he heard Yu Jing's words.

"The scholars who came to study this time are all scholars over the age of 30, and it is a little embarrassing for them to learn folk customs and miscellaneous agriculture again, so it is better to divide the imperial examination reform according to age, and those over 30 years old will still follow the old system, and only those under the age of 30 will implement the new scientific examination content, so that those people will have no reason to be dissatisfied, and they will naturally leave." Yu Jing said to Fan Zhongyan with a smile.

"This is a good solution, you go to Uncle Yong immediately, and let Uncle Yong use this as a condition to negotiate with those scholars." Fan Zhongyan was very satisfied with Yu Jing's method, and said to Yu Jing with a smile.

Yu Jing said goodbye and left, Fan Zhongyan climbed the Xuande Tower, watched Ouyang Xiu and the scholar slowly negotiate the whole process, and waited for the scholar to finally leave, Fan Zhongyan breathed a sigh of relief.
