Princess Nangong spoke up and supported Yang Chuan, which was not his original intention.

Yang Chuan's face is thick and dark, but if he wants to use a poor princess, he really can't do this kind of thing; What's more, he actually had a plan for how to prepare for the establishment of the 'Great Han Tai Academy'.

However, there is no way.

At the instigation of Liu Man and Naren Tuoya, Princess Nangong listened to Yang Chuan's current predicament, and immediately went up, not hesitating to tear off the skin and uncover her scars, so she wanted to fight for Yang Chuan......

However, the old princess came out of the horse, a top two.

Not to mention, the military generals of the Han Empire and many scholars really ate this set, and after being scolded by Princess Nangong, they were more well-behaved than the other.

No, the mutton that Yang Chuan prepared before finally came in handy.

Because there were so many people coming, the attic on Yang's Zhuangzi couldn't sit down at all, so they could only set up a tent in the courtyard, set up tables, chairs and benches, and let everyone make do with the mutton shabu.

Yang Chuan asked people to bring more than a dozen stoves with chimneys, and lit charcoal, red and blue, and did not feel cold at all.

Tangyi's father led twenty and a half sons, 'shaved meat' on the spot, plates of mutton rolls, white delicate, red moisturizing, with special long chopsticks, two or three breaths in the bright soup pot, dipped in Yang's secret dipping sauce.

Just smelling the smell makes your fingers flutter and salivate.

Authentic shabu-shabu mutton, pay attention to a clear soup, tender meat, fresh and fragrant dipping sauce, light chewing in the mouth, tsk, delicious!

The food of Yang Chuan's family is delicious, which has long been spread in Chang'an City.

I tasted it today, and it really lived up to its name.

And what surprised those scholars and Confucian scholars the most was the tables, chairs and benches of Yang Chuan's house, which were completely different from the desks, embroidered piers, and wooden couches used by the powerful families of the Han Empire.

The double-layer large round table is just enough to put down a copper pot of shabu-shabu, and the upper layer can also rotate slowly, and the mutton rolls and various vegetables and oil bowls are neatly arranged.

In addition, this pine-backed chair not only has four legs of one foot seven inches and five, but also has armrests on the left and right;

On the chair, there is a clean sheepskin, and the butt is very comfortable to sit on.

At the beginning, many scholars and Confucian scholars were very dissatisfied with this kind of eating posture that was obviously not in line with the 'Zhou Rites', even if they didn't dare to jump out in front of Princess Nangong to point fingers, but their faces were very ugly, and they couldn't help but exchange a few words.

However, when they reluctantly sat down.

Well, my waist is no longer sore, my knees are no longer painful, and my legs and feet are no longer cramping......

It's just、It's very comfortable.。

Gradually, as the plates of mutton rolls were served, they were swallowed by this group of powerful people in the Han Empire, and then drank a few bowls of wine, and everyone's pickiness and dissatisfaction with the tables, chairs and benches quickly disappeared.

This person is really a bit cheap.

Yang Chuan, who accompanied Princess Nangong, Gongsun Hong and others in the attic, was smiling and didn't talk much, but he had a full view of everyone's speech and demeanor, and the changes in their expressions.

The ancients said that this is what it means to see six ways and listen to eight directions, right?

It seems that the 'table reform' of the Han Empire, with the help of Princess Nangong, has finally been completed quietly.

It's a big deal.

From the squatting eating of the ancestors, to the sitting and eating with their legs apart, to the kneeling eating after the Shang and Zhou dynasties, and then to being able to sit on a chair and eat now, is this a very important progress?

Originally, he also prepared a lot of back-ups, but as a result, he didn't expect it to be so simple......

But.

There is an old saying that knows etiquette, and food and clothing are enough to know honor and disgrace, and the 'table reform' of the Han Empire is just a formality, but the real problem is still one word: poverty.

Two words: very poor.

Three words: too poor, Du Teniang is almost poor to the bone.

Therefore, although it is important to introduce tables, chairs and benches, it is really nothing to say, as a cook, find a way to fill the stomachs of the people, this is the most important thing.

The path that should be taken is still not to fall behind, but it can't fall short and let Dong Zhongshu's gang do bad things.

"Yang Chuan, no, now I should call you Taixue Sacrificial Wine."

Just when Yang Chuan was immersed in his mind and thinking about how to be a good 'Han cook', Gongsun Hong suddenly asked: "How much money and food are needed to prepare for the establishment of Tai Academy?" ”

In the end, it is the prime minister, and as soon as he opens his mouth, it is a pit.

Yang Chuan smiled bitterly: "Prime Minister Gongsun asked me, who am I asking?" ”

Gongsun Hong was slightly stunned and said with a smile: "What does the sacrificial wine mean?" ”

Yang Chuan sighed and said: "The imperial court is building the Tai Academy, this is a major event for the whole country of my Han Dynasty, involving the royal face and the prestige of the imperial court, even if it costs a lot of money and food, it is not too much;

However, at present, the emperor is bent on pacifying the Huns, and hundreds of thousands of troops are waiting for the time to come, and after several major battles, those wolves will be killed and disabled;

Has the army ever had enough food? Can weapons be sharp? War horses enough? ”

Yang Chuan paused and continued: "So, I don't plan to reach out to ask for the money and food of the imperial court, even if I reach out and ask for it, it is estimated that it will be in vain."

However, Tai Academy still has to be repaired.

Not only to repair, but also to repair, at least not to let the world laugh, saying that I am the first in the world in the world in the Han Dynasty's cultural and martial arts, and I have built a Tai Academy, but it is like a few thatched houses, right?

Prime Minister Gongsun, if you really want to make do with it, isn't it too shabby? ”

Gongsun Hong nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "The emperor just started to appoint you as Taixue sacrificial wine, and the old man was quite dissatisfied, thinking that it was somewhat inappropriate to let a fifteen-year-old boy take on the big responsibility, but now it seems that the old man really has shallow eye sockets, hahaha." ”

All the Wenchen and Su Ru stroked their palms and smiled, and the atmosphere finally eased up.

That's right.

Some of the open and secret battles in the court are just tearing for a while, resting for a while, and then communicating verbally, and if they can talk, they will continue to talk.

This really can't be talked about, in fact, it doesn't matter, tear for a while and continue to talk.

Things haven't gotten to the point where you are alive or dead, you might as well sit down calmly, and talk nonsense while shabu mutton, there will always be someone who can't bear the pain and give up something.

For example, right now, Dong Zhongshu, who was also eating at Yang Chuan's house, looked very angry, so he could only sit alone on his knees, silently eating a bowl of sour noodle soup and small pickles......

……

"Yang sacrificial wine, I heard that you built seven attics for Dong Zhongshu to give lectures, so you have at least seven attics for Yang's arithmetic, right?" An old yin π in the court asked with a smile.

These old thieves, a mouth is a big pit.

Yang Chuan waved his hand and said with a smile: "My little gadget can't be put on the table, even if you count the acres of land, measure the pond or something, you don't need to open it specially." ”

The Wenchen and Confucian scholars naturally had a burst of 'good words and persuasion': "Oh, how can it be done, looking at my Han Dynasty, now there are many people who study the subtleties and righteousness of the ancestors, but when it comes to benefiting the country and the people, it is more correct to use the arithmetic technique of Yang sacrificial wine." ”

"Yes, yes, Yang Xijiu doesn't open the door to lecture, who is worthy of being a teacher in this Tai Academy!"

"Yang Xijiu, you have to have at least seven attics for your arithmetic skills!"

“……”

For a while, there were different opinions, and those old thieves were more able to speak than the other, and they almost rushed up, lifting Yang Chuan, a fifteen-year-old boy, and roasting him on the fire.

A group of old thieves killed young people, and their hearts can be punished.

Yang Chuan always smiled, his face was harmless, and he said indifferently: "The world's knowledge is as vast as a sea of smoke, and there are so many masters in the world, and I, Yang Chuan, a fifteen-year-old boy, will also cultivate the land, plant the fields, and pickle a few jars of pickles in exchange for some money and grain to subsidize the family."

As for opening the door to teach, how can I, Yang Chuan, dare to recite the Analects in front of you old masters?

Therefore, I thought about it again and again, and finally made up my mind to entrust the specific school-running matters of Tai College to all the ministers, scholars, and Confucians.

What do you think? ”

"Not how!"

Without waiting for Gongsun Hong and the others to speak, Dong Zhongshu suddenly stood up, shook his clothes, and walked over dignifiedly: "Yang Chuan, this matter cannot be left to them to discuss. ”

Yang Chuan was stunned and asked, "Dong Gong, why not?" ”

Dong Zhongshu sneered, glanced at Gongsun Hong and the others, and said, "Is the knowledge of these people as big as my Dong Zhongshu?" How many days have you taught? How many apprentices have you received? How many words did the saint understand?

Yang Chuan, it's not me Dong Zhongshu boasting, which of these people here today dares to say that his knowledge surpasses that of the old man?

By the way, I'm not saying that your Gongsun Hong is rubbish, but everyone here is rubbish! ”

This old thief is really domineering, and when he said these few words, he actually made Gongsun Hong and other scholars and scholars and scholars silent, obviously still respecting Dong Zhongshu's knowledge.

However, this is a class struggle, how can it be taken down by someone in just a few words?

So, after seven or eight breaths, someone finally stepped forward and began to 'spray' with Dong Zhongshu.

Immediately afterwards, seven or eight more people came out one after another, and they seemed to be very good at it, and they were able to confront Dong Zhongshu head-on, without falling behind at all......

……

Ah, it's finally time to fight.

Big stew, if you old thieves don't fight, this chef's world-famous dish will be ruined.

Yang Chuan watched coldly, and his heart was relieved.

Taking advantage of the gap between the 'verbal exchange' between the scholars, the Confucian scholars and Dong Zhongshu, Yang Chuan pretended to be anxious, and simply slipped out of the attic and came to the field outside the courtyard.

The weather is cold, the snow that fell a few days ago has not melted, and as far as the eye can see, under the clean and bright sun, it is covered in silver, like a fairy tale.

On both sides of the Weishui River, those tall elm and willow trees, strong and thick, add a touch of poetry to this silent world, and look like an ink painting.

Yang Chuan happily soaked in urine under an old elm tree with a crooked neck, and said casually: "You, the head of a hundred officials, don't preside over the discussion, what are you running out for?" ”

But Gongsun Hong also quietly followed.

This old thief is not as particular as Yang Chuan, he lifted up the black official robe, casually walked a few steps forward and began to pee: "Yang Chuan, you are very clever at watching the fire from the other side." ”

Yang Chuan deliberately took a few steps forward, probed over, took a few serious observations, and grinned: "Hey, I thought that the bigger the official, the bigger that one would be......"

Gongsun Hong laughed, and didn't care about Yang Chuan's stubbornness: "You bastard, can't you bully the old man?" Let me tell you, the old man is still alive and well. ”

Yang Chuan smiled disapprovingly, and teased: "Under normal circumstances, after a person with a bad amount of alcohol is drunk, what he likes to say most is that he is not drunk and cannot be drunk;

You old men, ah, that's all that's left with hard mouths. ”

Gongsun Hong slowly fastened his trouser belt, tidied up his clothes, and sighed, 'The young man is so good', and then he said: "You Taixue sacrificial wine, throw out a piece of red-hot coal, and attract many people to fight, it is really a smart move."

You are only fifteen years old now, and when you accumulate some military merits or agricultural merits, and seal the Guannei Hou, you will be able to pay homage to the prime minister. ”

Yang Chuan shook his head and smiled: "I'm greedy for money and not lustful, and I'm not suitable to be an official, especially like the prime minister, the imperial historian, the Taiwei, and the big farmer Ling, who hold real power, for me, it's almost poison;

You say I'm honest and honest, but it's a pity to think that this right doesn't have to expire and be invalidated?

You said that I should be corrupted for some money and food, occupy some gold and land, or something, and I am afraid that I will be arrested and beaten to death by the Tingwei Mansion, and then the gains will outweigh the losses.

If you make some more serious mistakes, such as hooking up with the princes and kings of various places, sleeping with your sister-in-law Liu Ling, and doing a little business, can you let the emperor wipe out the nine clans? ”

Gongsun Hong laughed, pointed at Yang Chuan's nose and scolded with a smile: "You guy, if you say a few words, you will carry a gun and a stick, insinuate and ridicule the old man for having a leg with Liu Ling?" ”

Yang Chuan laughed, but didn't say anything.

This kind of rotten thing, just know it, this old thief has to say it, it will be a little boring.

"Yang Chuan, the old man knows your plan, it is nothing more than trying to muddy the pool of Tai Academy, let everyone fight, you can clean up a mess, I have to say, you are really very clever in this hand."

Gongsun Hong put his hands behind his back, looked at the endless fields, and continued: "Dong Zhongshu is very difficult to entangle, and he is not afraid of death, for his dethronement of the hundred schools, the exclusive respect of Confucianism and the doctrine of heaven and man, he has long had the idea of breaking the net, you have to be careful."

By the way, the old man asked you, what do you want to do with this college? ”

Yang Chuan chuckled and said, "What else can I do?" Cold salad. ”

"It's difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and the court won't give me a single penny, so let me turn some stones into gold? Prime Minister, you can help me come up with an idea, to be honest, I really don't want to do the official of Taixue Sacrificial Wine. ”

Gongsun Hong said with a smile: "Sima Xiangru deceived the Zhuo family of 80,000 gold for a doctor's sacrificial wine, went to the favor to find a way, and spent 23,000 gold, and he bought all the rest of the Narita property and servants, and supported seven or eight young and beautiful little women.

You Yang Chuan didn't spend a penny, but you got a Taixue sacrificial wine that is out of reach for countless scholars for a lifetime, what's the matter, are you complaining that the emperor doesn't allocate money and food to you? ”

Yang Chuan shook his head and said indifferently: "Prime Minister Gongsun, I, Yang Chuan, really don't want to be an official, and I am not suitable to be an official; In the court, there is no shortage of people like Sima Xiangru, all they think about is nothing more than being promoted to an official and a knight and a dead wife;

But, for me, it's like a cloud. ”

Gongsun Hong tilted his head, stared at Yang Chuan's handsome little face very seriously, nodded and smiled: "But things in this world are often so strange, some people try their best to be officials, but after all, it is empty;

You Yang Chuan don't want to be an official, but you became a big official at the age of fifteen.

Cough! Taixue sacrificial wine, which has a rank of two thousand stones, once you control the situation, you can be on an equal footing with the old man, are you still not satisfied? ”

Yang Chuan waved his hand, and said with some interest: "It's boring to think about." ”

Gongsun Hong's eyes flashed, and he suddenly said: "If you can have a million gold, do you think it's still boring?" ”

Yang Chuan nodded: "Okay, deal." ”

Gongsun Hong's face stiffened, and he was stunned: "The old man hasn't said the conditions yet......
