A few days later, the sky finally cleared, and Zhao Yao took Song Jicai and the four of them down the mountain to visit Jinling City, and was shocked by the prosperity of Jinling City.

Jinling City is the capital of Jiangnan, and it has been the most prosperous and wealthy state capital in Jiangnan since ancient times. Although it has experienced the wars of the previous dynasty, Jinling City is still more prosperous than the capital. Also, the people of Jinling City are outstanding and have produced talents since ancient times. For hundreds of years, there have been countless talented people and talented women in Jinling City.

Facing the grace and luxury of Jinling City, Zhao Yao was very calm, after all, he had seen more prosperous countries and cities in his dreams, but Song Jicai and the four of them had never seen such a prosperous and lively city. The four of them looked and touched the city with excitement and curiosity just as the hillbilly had entered the city for the first time.

Zhao Yao was only interested in the delicious food in Jinling City. Before he came to Jinling City, he inquired about what delicious food was in Jinling.

In the morning, Zhao Yao took his four good brothers to eat all the famous and delicious things in Jinling City. At noon, several people went to the most famous restaurant in Jinling City, the first floor of Jiangnan, to eat.

This first floor in Jiangnan is a veritable first restaurant in Jiangnan, whether it is wine or food, it is excellent in Jiangnan.

There are a lot of people who come here every day to eat, and if you don't make a reservation in advance, you will have to wait a long time to eat here at noon.

Zhao Yao sent Tongxi to the first floor of Jiangnan early in the morning to reserve a seat, so they went over to eat at noon and didn't need to wait in line.

They didn't book a private room, they fixed a window seat on the second floor. In this way, when they eat, they can not only hear the conversation of other guests, but also see the lively street outside the window.

The guys on the first floor are all human spirits, and they can judge the identity of a guest from a person's dress, words and deeds.

As soon as Zhao Yao and the others stepped into the first floor, the guy greeted them politely and warmly. He first looked at the five young sons in front of him quietly. Although they were all dressed in ordinary clothes, the temperament they exuded did not resemble ordinary people, especially the shortest of them.

This boy looks eleven or twelve years old, with fair skin, extremely handsome appearance, especially a pair of eyes that are very clean and beautiful, and full of aura. The most important thing is that this son is noble, but it is different from the noble sons he has seen in the past.

The noble son of Jinling City, he has basically seen and served. They come from famous families, some are graceful, some are noble, some are polite, and some are ...... But compared with the son in front of him, he feels that the noble son of the family in Jinling City is much inferior.

The son in front of him is more noble than the son of a famous family in Jinling City, and he has a little more prestige. This majesty made him dare not take anything lightly.

Various thoughts flashed through the man's mind, but not a single point appeared on his face, but the smile on his face unconsciously became respectful.

He politely saluted Zhao Yao first, and then asked them if they had made an appointment.

Zhao Yao said the position they set.

When the guy heard Zhao Yao's accent, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he immediately asked Zhao Yao and them to go upstairs more and more politely.

Zhao Yao walked in front, and Song Jicai and the four of them walked behind.

Tongxi walked at the end, secretly looking around, and then he noticed that many guests were staring at them.

The guy led Zhao Yao and them to the place, "How many sons are from the capital?" ”

Zhang He heard the guy ask, and said with a surprised face: "How do you know?" ”

"Listening to the accents of a few sons, it looks like they are from the capital." In Jinling City, people in the capital are not uncommon. These sons deliberately wore ordinary clothes, but their status was definitely not rich or expensive. "Is this your first time in Jinling City?"

Zhao Yao looked at the guy with the long camera, and said with a smile: "Yes, we are coming to Jinling City for the first time, can you tell us about what is delicious and fun in Jinling City?" ”

"Childe, you asked me the right person, let me tell you......" The guy told Zhao Yao like the name of the dish, and they told them about the delicious things and fun places in Jinling City.

He spoke in a low voice, with a Jinling accent, and he kept talking like pouring beans, which sounded very interesting and funny.

Zhao Yao: They wrote down all the fun things that the guy said.

After the guy finished speaking, he introduced the food on the first floor to Zhao Yao and them. After Zhao Yao and the others finished ordering, the guy left. After a while, the guy brought tea and snacks for their guests on the first floor.

Zhao Yao didn't let the guy go, but asked him about the celebrities in Jinling City.

When it comes to celebrities in Jinling City, the guy is even more energetic. He chattered with Zhao Yao and them about the five talented people and five beauties in Jinling.

Song Jicai listened to them with relish. While listening to it, Zhao Yao sighed in his heart, no matter where it is, everyone loves to listen to the gossip of talented and beautiful people.

As he was talking, there was a commotion downstairs. Then, I heard many people shouting "Li Gongzi".

When the guy heard that Li Gongzi was coming, his expression became a little excited, and he hurriedly told Zhao Yao that the Li Gongzi downstairs was Li Dao, the head of the five talented people in Jinling.

Listening to the sound of "Li Gongzi" downstairs, Zhao Yao was a little curious about what kind of character this "Li Gongzi" was.

After a while, Li Gongzi went upstairs. The guy hurriedly reminded Zhao Yao of them.

Zhao Yao looked at Li Dao, and then was shocked. Because for the first time, he saw someone who was even more beautiful than his starling. The most important thing is that this Li Gongzi has a fairy temperament, and he looks like he doesn't eat the fireworks of the world.

Li Wei felt Zhao Yao's gaze, and naturally looked at it. When he saw Zhao Yao, a trace of surprise crossed his eyes.

The guy who led Li Dao upstairs invited Li Dao to the private room.

"Liang Gongzi, is our Li Gongzi of Jinling City a fairy-like figure?" The tone and attitude of the guy who said this was full of pride and pride.

"A fairy-like figure indeed." Zhao Yao praised without hesitation, "It's the first time I've met such a good-looking person." ”

"Liang Gongzi, let me tell you, Li Gongzi is still very talented...... "The guy told Zhao Yao a lot of things about Li Gongzi. He couldn't wait to blow Li Gongzi into the sky.

The man said something more, and when he saw that Zhao Yao and they were going to eat, he retreated.

After he left, the guests at the other tables also talked about Li Gongzi.

Zhang He and the others listened, but they were very unimpressed: "Isn't it just good-looking, what's the big deal." ”

Chu Huan glanced at Zhang He and said, "This Li Gongzi is not a simple person. ”

Shen Sen pursed his lips and said, "Don't these children of the family like to do this?" After speaking, he sneered again, "Really, whether it is the children of the family in the capital or the children of the family in Jinling, they are all virtuous." ”

Chu Huan saw that Zhao Yao didn't move quickly, with a thoughtful expression, and asked with concern, "Boss, what's wrong?" ”

Zhao Yao came back to his senses and said to Chu Huan: "It's nothing, I just think that someone is even more beautiful than my starling." Just as they were staring at them, he felt a chill. For a moment, he felt as if he was being stared at by a poisonous snake.

Song Jicai said while eating meat: "Boss, what is a man doing when he looks so good." ”

"That is, we men rely on ability, not beauty."

Chu Huan unceremoniously mocked the two of them and said, "You two are ugly, and you are jealous of your good looks. ”

These words made Song Jicai and them angry, and then argued with Chu Huan.

Zhao Yao hurriedly tried to persuade them to make peace and let them eat honestly.

The guests at the other tables talked about the other talents, and talked about the imperial examination.

Listening to them, they were hesitant about the imperial examination. He also said that the five talented people led by Li Dao and them were unwilling to participate in the imperial examination. He also said that many scholars from poor backgrounds were very happy to participate in the imperial examination.

Many children of the family were reluctant to participate in the imperial examination with students from poor backgrounds, feeling that it was insulting to their status.

Although the status of the reader is high, there is also a difference between the reader. Students from famous families can't look down on poor scholars, feel that they have a sour air of poverty, and think that they shouldn't study.

Zhang He: What they wanted to say, they were stopped by Zhao Yao with his eyes.

Although students from wealthy families were reluctant to participate in the imperial examinations, scholars from poor backgrounds actively participated.

After lunch, Zhao Yao and the others did not stay on the first floor for a long time.

Zheng Xilin thought that Zhao Yao would play until the evening and come back, but he didn't expect to come back in the afternoon.

"Third uncle, do you know that students from Jinling families are unwilling to participate in the imperial examination?"

Zheng Xilin was not surprised at all when he heard Zhao Yao ask. He said softly, "You've heard?" ”

"This is the Jinling family's means of resisting the imperial examination?" Zhao Yao said with a cold face, "They also said that participating in the imperial examination is insulting to their identity, and they really think highly of themselves." ”

"Not only will they not participate in the examination, but they will also be unable to participate in the imperial examination." Zheng Xilin said, "They did not oppose the imperial examination openly, but they would privately use means to make no one in Jinling City participate in the imperial examination." ”

Although Zheng Xilin didn't say exactly what means those people would use, Zhao Yao could probably guess it.

"So they're playing with the idea."

Zheng Xilin said in a playful tone: "Participating in the imperial examination depends on whether the students themselves are willing or not, if none of the students are willing to participate, the court and the yamen in various places cannot force the students to participate." ”

Zhao Yao sneered: "This trick is really powerful, if there are no candidates who are willing to participate in the imperial examination, then the imperial examination will not be able to be held." ”

"Not only Jinling, but other places will follow suit."

Zhao Yao suddenly laughed very contemptuously: "I really don't know if I want to say that they are stupid, or whether to say that they underestimate my father too much." ”

Hearing Zhao Yao say this, Zheng Xilin raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Do you think their trick won't work?" ”

"Maybe in Jinling and Suzhou, their trick will work, but what will greet them later, I don't think they have thought about it."

Zheng Xilin pretended to be curious and asked, "What greeted them?" ”

"All the officials in Jinling and Suzhou will be deposed, and then the emperor will transfer officials from other places to take over these two places." Zhao Yao said, "Of course, it is impossible for my father to abolish all the officials in the two places at once, but to make an example of chickens and monkeys, my father will do it." With the means of their father, the chickens they killed are not ordinary chickens, and they will not be able to bear it. ”

"Your father is a cautious man, and there is no good end for offending him."

Zhao Yao nodded approvingly: "That's right." After speaking, he thought of Li Dao who he saw on the first floor, "Third uncle, the Cao Gang and the Yan Gang in Jinling and Suzhou are all controlled by the families behind the scenes, right?" ”

"That's right, the families have an inseparable relationship with the Cao Gang and the Salt Gang."

Zheng Xilin saw Zhao Yao's contemplative face and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"I have a feeling I can't put into words."

Before he could finish speaking, he saw Tongxi walk in. He first saluted Zhao Yao and Zheng Xilin, and then said respectfully: "Your Highness, someone sent a few Lingnan people and Fusang people, saying that you want it. ”

"Delivered so soon?" Zhao Yao stood up in surprise and said, "Bring them to me." As soon as he finished speaking, he hurriedly said to Zheng Xilin, "It was sent by the second uncle." ”

"Lingnan people and Fuso people?"

"Third uncle, I'll tell you later, I'll go meet them first." After Zhao Yao finished speaking, he returned to his room.

A moment later, Tongxi led two Lingnan people and two Fusang people in.

When these four people saw Zhao Yao, they hurriedly bowed to him and saluted. Their etiquette is very standard, and it seems that someone has taught them before. Not only that, but their official language is also not bad. Although it is not very standard, Zhao Yao can understand it.

Zhao Yao asked Tongxi to bring the two Lingnan people down first, and he asked the two Fusang people first.

These two Fusang people have lived in the Great Zhou Dynasty for many years and are very proficient in the official language of the Great Zhou, so they don't need to find someone to translate. They used to be pirates and then captured by fishermen in Soochow.

Instead of killing them, the fishermen of Soochow made them slaves. The two of them were the best performers among the many slaves, mainly because they were smart and quickly learned the Great Zhou dialect.

They are smart, diligent, and responsible, so they have been quite used in the master's house over the years. They had a good time in Da Zhou and were reluctant to go back to Fuso.

Before coming to Da Zhou, these two people had been to many places in Fusang to steal chickens and dogs, so they were quite familiar with other places in Fusang.

Zhao Yao first asked them about the place where the gold and silver mountains were located, but of course he did not mention the gold and silver mountains.

Coincidentally, the place where the gold mountain and the silver mountain are located is not far from the hometown of these two people. Zhao Yao felt that his luck was really good. He asked again about the affairs of Fuso.

Thinking of the poor life of the people in China, the two of them were first frightened, and then immediately told Zhao Yao everything they knew, saw, and heard.

"Your Highness, when the untouched slaves left Fuso, the emperor was already old, and now the emperor in Fuso is unknown."

"Before you left Fuso, how many sons did the emperor have?" Fusang is a small place, and the emperor dares to call himself the emperor, which is really ambitious.

"There are four sons."

"Tell me about these four people."

"The slaves don't know much, they all heard others say it before."

"It's okay, tell me what you've heard."

"Yes, Your Highness."

The two of you, you and I told Zhao Yao about the four sons of Emperor Fuso. The eldest son was born to the empress, and his qualifications were mediocre, and he was not liked by the emperor. The second son is not in good health and recuperates outside all year round. The third son is both civil and military, and his mother is also very favored, but his mother is a palace maid. The youngest son is a famous young general.

After listening to this, Zhao Yao guessed in his heart that the current emperor should be the second son.

He asked the two men if they remembered the way back to Fuso, and they said they did.

Zhao Yao asked them for a long time, and did not stop until before dinner, and let them go to rest.

With these two people, the plan to go to Fuso can be advanced.

This chapter has been revised over and over again.

Regarding Li Dao's appearance, I wrote too greasy before, and I still think the current version is the best.

In the end, I still humbly ask for a monthly pass online!
