"The Yue and Tang are both subject countries of the Song Dynasty, and the two countries are brother countries, so they will communicate with each other, but there is no need to hurt the harmony with knives and guns." Wen Shaoqi was wearing a long shirt and a goatee, and he was not fast or slow when he spoke, and he had a picture of what a prefect should look like, "Yang Tongfang's department is a Badu soldier, and this time he came to Huzhou, but he used the forbidden army to observe the border situation; But this son is arrogant and nameless, causing trouble, I have already made the situation clear, and I think I will lead my troops to leave Huzhou in the near future. ”

Badu soldiers, that is, the soldiers of the eight capitals composed of soldiers from the counties and townships around Hangzhou, are the starting team of Wu Yue Qian's family, but after several dynasties, the eight capital soldiers have also expanded to thirteen capitals, and they are no longer named after the eight capital soldiers in the later period. However, Lao Badu still regarded himself as a Badu soldier, as the strategic reserve of Wu Yuegong's defense of the Beijing Division, with good equipment and sufficient morale, once he went out, he was naturally unruly.

"What Lord Wen said is extremely true. Therefore, the official also repeatedly admonished the brothers, and the points must be stopped, but fortunately nothing went wrong this time. However, this official thinks that Xuanzhou and Huzhou are separated by mountains and rivers, and there are many economic exchanges between the two places. Therefore, this official is here to ask if Lord Wen has a good plan? ”

After this contact between the two sides, Wen Shaoqi understood that this Jiang Guogong was a good talker. If you think about it, everyone is doing business to make money, and there is really no need to be angry about some small things. "1. Each side binds its own soldiers, and shall not thereafter cross the border for any reason; (2) If any of the subjects of the two countries commits adultery in the territory of the other, they shall also be repatriated to be punished by each country itself. ”

Li Congyi knew the meaning of the song when he heard the strings, and he understood that Wen Shaoqi must drive Yang Tongfang away, and explained it to himself so directly. The relationship between this guy and the matter of private salt and tribute porcelain made Wen Shaoqi very unhappy. "Since this is the case, the official has no objection."

After drinking tea for a while and chatting for a while, Wen Shaoqi invited Li Congyi to the side hall for dinner.

There was already a woman in formal clothes waiting in the side hall, and Wen Shaoqi introduced that it was the concubine Shi. At this time, if it were not for the extremely close relationship between the two families, the wife would never appear at a meeting or dinner; But the concubine attendant said otherwise.

Shi asked for peace, and after some cold noise, he sat down and said: "The concubine has a son and nephew named Junbi, who was entertained by Lord Guogong in Jingting Mountain, Xuanzhou, and was amazed by the amazing talent of Lord Guogong in poetry. ”

"Oh, Shi Junbi also wrote a good poem that day, and he is also a rising star." Li Congyi doesn't mind everyone touting each other.

"Not only that, I heard Shi Junbi say that Lord Guogong also has a way to make tea, and the tea is called Biluochun. This tea does not need to be boiled, and if it is brewed with boiling water, the tea fragrance will overflow. The concubine had never heard of it before, and it was very strange. ”

"Coincidentally, before I came, I brought Biluochun produced by Xuanzhou Commerce and Trade and tea sets from Xuanzhou porcelain industry as gifts. After the meal, the lady can take it and try it. If Madame wants to cooperate, it is better to send someone to Xuanzhou with me and talk directly to these two companies. ”

While he was talking, he suddenly heard a voice from outside the house. Then, I saw a girl rushing in in a hurry, it was the girl Li Congyi saw in the rockery in the courtyard. The girl walked in quickly, and when she saw Li Congyi, her face was surprised, "It turns out that my father and mother are receiving nobles, and Fangfei is in a fierce wave", and then gave Li Congyi a blessing, and walked out quickly.

Seeing Li Congyi holding chopsticks and a petrified expression, Shi couldn't help but smile, and only said: "My son Fangfei, I was a little reckless, which made Lord Guogong laugh." ”

After a meal, Shi really took the tea and tea set, and Shi operated it immediately, and Li Congyi explained it on the side.

"The tea leaves are placed in a teapot and washed with boiling water to remove the foam; It is then strained and poured into a teacup, from which it is divided into teacups. ”

"People who are very particular about the tea ceremony think that the first brew of tea is too hot, so they call the first brew of tea a tea wash, but they discard it."

"The second and third brews of Youyun are the essence of tea, and when they reach the fourth brew, the tea is not strong enough and the yang energy is insufficient, so they will also abandon it. But how can people like my generation who are tea lovers be wasted? You must drink the sixth brew, and you can only pour it when you feel that the tea is exhausted. ”

"As Master Li said, this first brew of tea is a little bitter, and the so-called is too much; The second brew of tea is the most rich and fragrant, the third brew of tea is the most neutral and peaceful, and after the fourth brew, it is actually a crab is not as good as a crab. Wen Shaoqi is also a person who understands tea, and when he heard Li Congyi's introduction, he was fascinated.

After Li Congyi said goodbye, Wen Shaoqi couldn't help but say to Shi: "You are blindly pampered by Fang Fei, if today's incident comes out, where will you tell me to put my old face?" ”

Shi said: "This Jiang Guogong is still young, and it is said that there is no concubine, Fang Fei is a concubine, and marrying Jiang Guogong as a concubine is not also a good marriage?" In the past, you wanted to marry Fang Fei, but today Fang Fei took the initiative herself, and you shrank your head and tail again. Besides, I think Jiang Guogong also likes my family Fangfei quite a lot. ”

"You women don't understand." Wen Shaoqi said impatiently.

"You're just afraid that Song Bing will call, and the Li family of the Tang Kingdom will be finished." The Shi family is Wu Yue's big businessman, and the Shi family also presides over the Wen family's business for Wen Shaoqi, but she is not a little woman who has never seen the world. "Song Bing called, and Wu Yue couldn't save it, but why should you and I worry?"

————

When Li Congyi returned to Dongmendu, he looked a little unbelievable.

Lu Shilang thought that Wen Fangfei had hooked Li Congyi's heart, and he was also curious, secretly thinking that it was really love at first sight? Otherwise, there is no way to explain it, but Jiang Guogong turned a blind eye to the two singers in the Guogong Mansion.

Li Congyi pondered for a long time, and remembered the smuggler in Hengwu Village in Guangde County, and heard Zhou Yuanqing say that it seemed to be called Kou Zishi. "Kou Zishi?" Li Congyi smiled in his heart, I think this guy's surname is Shi but not Kou.

Xu Heguang's second son moved to Xuancheng, which was much more convenient. Li Congyi attached a sketch through the line of Xu's business and asked Kou Zishi to find out where the slim dress came from.

The last time Kou Zishi was in Anji County, the reason was that a load-loaded carriage accidentally overturned into a roadside ditch, and as a result, the bag of salt loaded in it was broken, and it leaked everywhere. Kou Zishi thought it was nothing serious, but he didn't expect it to be exposed in the eyes of people with a heart, and it almost happened.

After the incident in Hengwu, Li Congyi felt the inconvenience of land transportation, so he suggested that Kou Zishi take the waterway and sell pickled fish to cover people's eyes. Contemporary meat is insufficient, and Li Congyi is training in Dongmendu, and has very high requirements for food. There were many fish in Zhoushan, so Li Congyi asked Kou Zishi to go to Zhoushan to buy fish, salted them privately, dried them into dried fish, and then sold them to Li Congyi, so that they should supplement the meat for the army; Private salt can also be hidden in dried fish, so that salt and meat kill two birds with one stone.

Kou Zishi also admired Jiang Guogong's suggestion very much. After receiving the request of Jiang Guogong from Xu's business, he immediately arranged for others to continue to collect fish and pickled fish in the Mingzhou area, and went to Hangzhou himself.

Li Congyi arranged for someone to find clues, so he put down his mind and went to do his own thing.

Li Congyi soaked in the barracks, so he mainly pulled Wu Feixing, Lu Shilang and the three battalion commanders to ponder the method of foot combat together. Or go to the county ferry and discuss with a group of blacksmiths how to build weapons better, standardized, and assembly line, and at the same time pull Zheng Deshui to discuss the construction of iron furnaces. Or go to Wuthering Heights and stay with Luo Zhengwu and a few old winemakers to study how to better "three steaming and three brewing" and improve the wine yield.

Li Congyi also took the time to merge Xu Shiming's Development Planning Department and Xu Meilan's Planning and Finance Department into Jiangnan Investment Holding Co., Ltd., with Jiangnan Investment Holding as the investor and manager to manage the subordinate companies.

Since Li Congyi's Guogongfu Primary School accepts children from the company system and military families for free, and it is a neighbor, Li Congyi also accepts those who want to come to Guogongfu Primary School. In this way, it is not appropriate for Xu Meilan to be a teacher, and then to be a teacher by a member of the Guogong Government.

Li Congyi once thought about handing over Guogongfu Primary School to Zhou Yuanji, a doctor of literature from Xuanzhou Mansion, to be in charge, but found that the concepts were too different. Zhou Yuanji thinks that if you can't participate in the imperial examination, what's the point of studying? He scoffed at Li Congyi's training policy of cultivating people who can read words, know how to count, understand practice, and have expertise. Then, Zhou Yuanji found out that Guogongfu Primary School was actually teaching simplified Chinese, and he was even more disgusted, and bluntly said that Jiang Guogong misled people's children. Even Li Congyi's skin is thick enough, and he is embarrassed on the spot. In the end, Xu Shiming helped Li Congyi find someone to be the principal of this primary school, and it was settled.

Not many people knew about this, but Zhou Zhihui and Xu Heguang still knew about it later. Zhou Zhihui also sent Zhou Yuanxiong to Guogongfu Primary School, and Xu Heguang ordered Kengkou School to directly adopt the Chinese and mathematics textbooks of Guogongfu Primary School, and made Zhou Yuanji so angry that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven, leaving "insufficient erection and conspiracy", and resolutely resigned as chairman of the Kengkou School Foundation and honorary principal of Kengkou School.

As a result, Xu Heguang was reprimanded by Li Congyi again, and Li Congyi said, "Dr. Zhou can't understand our thoughts for the time being, so give Dr. Zhou more time to take a look at it again, why be so eager to cut it and make people feel cold?" ”

In addition, Zheng Deshui finally completed the construction of the three reservoirs of Shuiyantou, Menkeng and Heshangzhai within three months, especially Shuiyantou, which has been impounded to the expected water level; And Xu Leshui, who couldn't wait, even more semi-forcefully occupied the waterwheel of Shuiyantou Reservoir to experiment with his water-driven pulping tool. The experimental results show that the effect is completely better than expected, and it is more efficient and more uniform than manual pulping.

Therefore, Xu Heguang made up his mind to build a quarry reservoir in Tangbian Mountain Village to provide hydraulic power for paper production.
