Chapter 21: Trouble Comes (I)

"You refuse?" The little yellow door was surprised.

"Waiter, please come in and listen to me," Song Jiu invited him to the courtyard.

The eunuch is not arrogant, it has nothing to do with the ingot of silver, ten taels of silver, may not make him too concerned, but the emperor is very concerned about this kid, and the second king said good things about him, if it wasn't for Zhao Xianggong to stop him twice, he would have been named a court official, and he still has that family background......

In the future, this kid will still have a future, follow Song Jiu in, his eyes are poisonous, he guessed Yuping's identity at a glance, and said with a smile: "The little lady is the jade lady of Beiwa." ”

"I've seen my father-in-law, and the slave family is exact."

"I'm here for the holidays, too."

"Yes."

The eunuch turned his head to look at Song Jiu again, and thought to himself, you have this little lady who is like a flower and jade, why do you need to confuse the girl of that family. didn't say it, and looked at the dishes on the table, full of appearance, in fact, Zhao Kuangyin's life was very frugal, and the living conditions in the palace were far from what he thought outside, Song Jiu said smartly: "Inner waiter, just as we are going to eat, you can also eat together." ”

"It's not good." Xiao Huangmen swallowed his saliva, he was not very old, he was only in his twenties, he was not mature enough, he couldn't say it well, and he was reluctant to move a step. Song Jiudao: "Inner servant, it's okay, I'm not a powerful person, the second is a son of a family, just a grass people, what's the use of avoiding it, the inner servant is willing to stay and eat, that's called close to the people, it's hard to say about the imperial history, maybe the official family will praise you." ”

"It's better to be respectful than to obey." The eunuch sat down.

"May I ask the waiter's last name?"

"The surname of the Sprinkle family is Cai."

"Cai Neishi, wait a minute," I have to let go of the firecrackers before I can eat. Song Jiu and Zhu San set off firecrackers, Yuping went into the house to look for wine, and if she took a fancy to it, she had to chase boldly, Song Jiu boldly chased the daughter of the famous general, and Yuping boldly chased Song Jiu, the difficulty of the two seemed to be many times higher than Song Jiu, and Yuping simply became the hostess. After the firecrackers were set off, Gonggong Cai asked: "May I ask Jiulang, why did you refuse the edict?" ”

"It's all river fresh, hot food is fresh, cold food is fishy, take the hot food, talk while eating." Song Jiu is not a scholar, and he doesn't pay attention to food and speech. Cai Neishou picked up a piece of eel, put it in his mouth and chewed it, and said, "Jiulang, you also like to eat this." ”

"Yes, Cai Neishou also likes to eat?"

"The Sprinkle family is a native of Yangzhou, a few years ago into the palace, the nobles in the palace do not like to eat it, never thought to eat it again today, the Sprinkle family ......" the little father-in-law choked up to cry, Yangzhou was chaotic in the past few years, calling back and forth, many people left their hometowns and left the rich land, but people, after all, will miss their homeland.

"Cai Neishi, then eat more," Song Jiu did not reject eunuchs, they were all pitiful, and the eunuchs of the Song Dynasty were not as hateful as those of the Han and Tang Mings.

"Jiulang, this eel you made tastes so good, where did you learn it?"

"Cai Neishi, my eldest sister opened a wine shop, and if she sees too much, she will do it, living alone, helpless."

Gonggong Cai glanced at Yuping, she was helpless to live alone, so redeem this little beauty, she is worth a lot of money, although Song Jiu has no money, can the money in the private house of the head of the bank be less? However, this is not easy to say, and he began to feast, whether it was an eel or a soft-shelled turtle, it was his love, and under his drive, several people's appetites swelled together. The result is that the peach juice snake block is the most popular, in fact, it can't be said that Song Jiu's cooking skills are invincible in the world, the chefs of the dozens of restaurants in the capital are definitely better than Song Jiu, but there is one, Beijing cuisine is the prototype of Yu cuisine in later generations, not that Yu cuisine is not good, but there is no Yu cuisine in the eight major cuisines of Sichuan, Hunan, Hui, Guangdong, Yang, Fu, Zhejiang, and Lu in the later generations, which also proves that the development of Yu cuisine is gradually backward. At least in terms of novelty, there are few Jing chefs who are Song Jiu's opponents, such as this peach juice snake block, which is unique in the entire Song Dynasty. Gonggong Cai and Cui'er scrambled to eat, and asked what kind of meat it was while eating, Song Jiu pinched Zhu San's hand under the table and didn't let him say. Zhu San was also curious, seeing that the two of them ate well, he ate a piece with the courage to eat it, and it was delicious, but he was suspicious in his heart and didn't dare to eat the second piece.

Full of wine and food, Zhu San cleaned up the table, Cui'er also walked over to help, Yuping made tea for Song Jiu, entertained Cai's father-in-law, Cai's father-in-law took a sip of tea, patted his stomach and said, "Thank you Jiulang, the Sprinkle family has eaten so much today." But Jiulang also harmed the Sprinkle family, and when he enters the palace in the future, he misses Jiulang's delicacies, what should he do? ”

It's a really difficult question. took another sip of tea and asked, "Why did Jiu Lang refuse the edict?" ”

"Cai Neishi, I also want to be an official, what are the imperial examinations for, not for the sake of being an official. Guozijian is a Qingshui Yamen, it is the official official of the imperial court, if the eldest sister knows the Tao, she will scold me, but I can't help but refuse the edict. The prisoners in the Guozi Prison are all the children of the powerful, I am too young to convince them, and because of the three math problems, there are some conflicts with the two doctors Zhang Yan, and the age is not enough to serve the prisoners, and my colleagues may also reject them, so I am disgraced every day, and this official might as well not do it. Song Jiu replied honestly. I have seen the wisdom of Song Taizong, but I concealed it, or pretended to be high, but it was not beautiful.

"Why did Kurou get out with the two doctors?"

Speaking of this, Song Jiuyi was annoyed and said, "Cai Neishi, I think you also heard about the study, right?" ”

Gonggong Cai nodded, in terms of the actual number of students, now Song Jiu's two classrooms have the most students in the capital, and there are not many prisoners in Guozi Prison, the number of prisoners is uncertain, but it has never exceeded a hundred, not to mention other small private schools.

"When I set it up, I just wanted to teach a few students who could settle accounts and manage the account books for Lifu on the dock, but I didn't expect many sons and daughters to come together, all of them were neighbors, I couldn't bear to refuse, so it was expanded to sixty-three, and the rest were listened to by the auditors. The account keeper doesn't need so many people, so I want to give them a way to live, not the imperial examination, although the Jinshi is out of the woods, but the entire Song Dynasty only admits a few Jinshi a year, most of them fail the exam, they are all children of poor families, will they not be able to drag down their families? Therefore, as soon as I entered the door, I said, I will teach you some useful knowledge, but don't think about the imperial examination, and those who want to take the imperial examination should not enter this door. Then teach them the meaning of the scriptures, not to let them understand the nine classics, but to let them understand and be familiar, so there are four other subjects, mathematics, personality, accounting, practicality, practical is to cultivate hands-on ability. As long as you study for a few years, you will become a first-class steward, bookkeeper, and master craftsman in the future, and you will have a way to live. But if you eat two bowls of rice in one meal, you will be full, and what about eating three bowls and four bowls? ”

"That will be uncomfortable," Grandpa Cai touched his stomach again, and the delicious meal also made him uncomfortable.

"That's it, but after the two doctors came in, they taught the Nine Classics and taught the Law seriously, and the students were originally strained to learn five courses, so what are they doing now learning these useless Nine Classics and the Law? Not only that, Grandpa Cai, just like this eel, people who don't like to eat it just don't like to eat it, and hate it, Grandpa Cai likes to eat it, isn't it delicious? Learning is the same, I let students take the initiative to ask questions, lively education, is to make them interested, with interest in learning can be active, so that they will not hate it, will be easy to learn. However, as soon as the two doctors came, they copied the quotations on "Qu Li", not that what the master said was wrong, after all, they were all children of poor families, not like the children of educated eunuchs, would they scare them? There is also arithmetic, not that the predecessors were bad, but I teach a shortcut, a shortcut that enables them to calculate quickly. Let's talk about the wisdom of our predecessors, we must respect, inherit, and dare to surpass. The master said that if the three of them go together, there will be my teacher. The Master's original intention is to keep learning and making progress, so that future generations cannot continue to make progress, and only by constantly making progress and using knowledge to make the country strong, not to be insulted by foreign enemies, and to make the people prosperous and live and work in peace and contentment. But when they came, they overthrew all that I had taught. Replacing the advanced with backwardness and sticking to the rules is there to teach the children or harm the students? ”

"The Sprinkle family will report to the Holy Lord."

"There aren't many doctors in the country, right?"

"There are nine."

"There are only nine people, why did the imperial court let two people teach?"

"The Sprinkle family doesn't know very well, it seems that the imperial court will use some students, so they send two real doctors to teach." Gonggong Cai didn't dare to say it, and there were some rumors in the palace, saying that this kid was bold and repeatedly blackmailed the second king, so he didn't say it in advance, so that this kid would come to blackmail again and make the people laugh.

"The imperial court asked them to come because they wanted these students to become craftsmen, right?"

"Do you know what to do?"

"The crane is ultimately like the national promotion, who will assemble and guide? I didn't know at first, but then I couldn't figure it out? Although the salary of the artisan is not high, these students have learned some knowledge and know a lot of words, even if they are craftsmen, they are mostly writers and writers, and they are really not a craftsman (the first class of the official craftsman is the head, the writer, the writer, the second class is the craftsman, and the third class is the handyman), I also asked the carpenter and mason here to teach them some practical skills, why didn't the court say? I used to ask the court for money, that was my wisdom, but I can still distinguish what kind of money I can ask for and what kind of money I can't ask for. This is for the benefit of the people and the court, will I still ask the court for money? ”

"Jiu Lang said it too well, it seems that Zhao Xianggong misunderstood you."

"Zhao Xianggong?" Song Jiu couldn't help but be stunned, what he was most afraid of was Zhao Kuangyi and Zhao Pu, who were a little better now, and in the next few years, if they were unfortunately caught in them, they would be crushed into ashes.

"He said it was a trick."

"Tricks? Brother Zhu, come here. Song Jiu said, took a bamboo pole, inserted it into the courtyard, and asked, "Gonggong Cai, how tall is this locust tree in my house?" ”

"How do you know this?"

"I'll let you know right away," let Zhu San measure the length of the shadow of the bamboo pole, at this time the sun is getting noon, and it is summer, the shadow is short, and the shadow of the locust tree is just spread to the corner of the house, Song Jiu measured the shadow of the locust tree with a soft ruler, and then entered the classroom, used chalk to make a slight calculation, put down the chalk, and walked out and said: "The height is nine zhang and one foot and two inches, and the suspension will not exceed one foot." With this method, how tall Mount Tai is can be measured. ”

"How did Jiurou know?"

"This is the force of mathematics, and then such as this formula, the width of the top plus the width of the bottom divided by two, multiplied by the length of the height, if the large city wall, as long as it is calculated according to this formula, and then send a dozen officials to measure with a soft ruler, must not use steps to measure, the error will be too large, then as long as a day, how much material is used to build the four walls of the capital, it will be calculated at night. Can you say it's a trick? Another example is our dynasty, our great enemy is not the south, several countries in the south are in decline, the great enemy is not the Northern Han, the Northern Han only has tens of thousands of people, sooner or later it will be recovered by our dynasty, and the real strong enemy in the future is the Khitan. Our dynasty lacks horses, and the battle will be defeated in the future, but what if the Tang Dynasty is here? It's a pity that after the Anshi Rebellion, the craftsmen were lost, the Mo knife craft was lost, and there was no longer a sharp weapon for the infantry to break the cavalry. Can you say it's a trick? Another example is cooking, the ingredients are important, but can there be less oil and salt seasoning, can there be a lack of pots, can there be a lack of firewood? Running the country is also making a pot of vegetables, the Confucianism of the master is the most important, as long as the other aspects of learning are not to deceive the king into being greedy for pleasure and extravagant, but to benefit the country and the people, and cannot be despised for this dish, this dish can be done well. ”

"Jiurou is right, where did you learn this knowledge?"

Just one sentence, Song Jiu immediately stopped talking, this is the big trouble. I can't answer that I fell from the sky, or Sun Wukong jumped out of the stone, but it is!
