14 Chapter 14

"Alas, it's useless to be in a hurry." Li Changan sighed lightly.

Cao Ye Naji would listen to her, but Concubine Wu Hui would definitely not listen to her opinion as a five-year-old child. Concubine Wu Hui has worked hard for so many years to abolish the crown prince, and now that victory is close at hand, she will never give up this opportunity to abolish the crown prince no matter what.

It's better to find a way to treat Concubine Wu Hui's nightmare first, although Li Changan doesn't think she can find a way to cure the disease of the top group of famous doctors in the entire Tang Dynasty.

"The most important thing now is to run my own small force first." Li Changan looked at Shen Chu with a very pure smile on his face.

The corners of Shen Chu's mouth twitched, knowing that this guy must be trying to calculate himself again when he has a bad stomach.

But what else could he do.

Master and apprentice work together, and their profits are gold, which still makes some sense.

"But the teacher is not suitable to follow Concubine Wu Hui's path." Li Changan touched his chin, touched a piece of white paper from the table, picked up an ink ingot, picked up some water from the small bowl on the table and put it in the inkstone, polished the ink, and wrote with a pen.

As soon as Shen Chu was about to remind Li Changan to be cautious, he saw the line flowing out of Li Changan's pen tip - English.

Come on, this girl is more cautious than anyone else.

Li Changan also said eloquently: "This matter only enters your ears from the mouth of you and me, and no third party can hear about it." There are marks on the pen, let's be careful and communicate in English and pinyin. ”

"Teacher, now there are Persians and Kunlun slaves in Chang'an, isn't English very safe, in fact, I can also speak a little Japanese and Korean......" Li Changan is still a little worried, there will definitely be times when she and Shen Chu need to communicate by letter in the future, and it is inevitable to mention some private things, if the letter is leaked, it will be a big trouble.

Shen Chu sighed: "Simplified Chinese characters are enough." ”

"That's not good, there is not much difference between simplified and traditional characters." Li Changan muttered twice.

It wasn't until Shen Chu moved the charcoal basin in the living room and said that after writing the words, he would burn the paper and destroy the corpse, that Li Changan gave up.

The two continued to discuss.

Shen Chu put his hands together, he was wearing thin clothes, not like Li Changan, wearing a brocade coat, only wearing an ordinary thick cloth clothes, the charcoal basin had just moved in, and the study was still very cold, Shen Chu In order to maintain his demeanor in front of the students, it was not easy to carry a stool to the front of the charcoal basin, so it was inevitable to put his hands together to keep warm.

Li Changan was very satisfied with Shen Chu's current appearance.

At first glance, he is a moral and noble person who does not seek fame and fortune and is happy to live in poverty.

"You said I can't go through Concubine Wu Hui's path, why?" Shen Chu tried to ignore Li Changan's appreciative eyes that fell on him.

Li Changan waved the brush in his hand and dropped two words on the paper.

Clean.

Since ancient times, although the pen of the literati and the sword of murder, although the path of the concubine is promoted quickly, it is inevitable that he will be infamy. If there is no other way to go, it will be fine, but now that her teacher has not reached the point where there is no way out, why do she have to follow the path of Li Linfu and Yang Guozhong if she can be a clear stream.

Li Changan has an excellent way to help Shen Chu rise to the top.

Just when Li Changan was waiting for Shen Chu and couldn't help but ask her, so that she could turn over and be the master of Shen Chu again, Shen Chu spoke.

"Why is your handwriting so unremarkable?"

Shen Chu looked at the dog-like ink words on the white paper, and couldn't help but turn his head sideways.

"I'm only five years old!" Li Changan was annoyed and angry.

A five-year-old child who can write is already very powerful, Concubine Wu Hui praised her for her natural intelligence, in the next generation, she just entered the middle class of kindergarten at the age of five, and there are few people who can recognize all the words.

Shen Chu was disdainful: "Are you really five years old?" ”

"I haven't written with a brush before, and it's normal to be ugly when I first start writing with a brush, so I'll practice it when I go back." Li Changan changed the topic, "Let's get down to business now. ”

"Let's talk about being an official first, teacher, do you think you are a flatterer?" Li Changan asked Shen Chu.

Shen Chu shook his head.

As long as he has a little bit of the ability to drill camps, he will not be over forty years old and just an associate professor who has worked hard to get up. Even his old friend tried his best to stuff him with a student like Li Changan who would come to trouble, and asked him to try to see if there was a lubricant between him and the leader to make him rise one liter more.

The teachers who entered the school in the same year as him were already professors, but he stayed in the position of associate professor for 12 years. It's just that he didn't care about these before, as long as he has a job to make a living, it doesn't matter what the salary is, and the job title is high, but now he has to think about drilling camps if he wants to be an official and serve the people.

"There is no one who follows the path of Concubine Wu Hui who is not good at flattery, and the teacher is not the same kind of person as them." Li Changan also knows what kind of character his teacher is.

"Teachers should take the line of Qingchen, be honest and honest, and be upright."

As he spoke, Li Changan wrote a few lines on the white paper.

[Qingchen cultivation plan

Student's Name: Shen Chu

Instructor: Li Changan]

Shen Chu looked at Li Changan, who had a serious face, and then looked down at the black and white words on the table.

Li Changan finally didn't resist Shen Chu's threatening sight of wanting to beat her up, she complained softly: "That's why there is no noble or cheap, no long and no less, the Tao exists, and the teacher exists......"

But he honestly put the names of the teachers and students back where they were supposed to be.

Li Changan's plan is not complicated.

The first step is two words, marketing. Give Shen Chu marketing fame and let him have a resounding good name. How important is a good reputation in Datang? Chen Ziang's daughter bought a piano and then broke it in the market, Bai Juyi's poems came out and Luoyang paper was expensive, Li Bai was an immortal in the sky, talented to the point that they still had to market fame, Du Fu, who couldn't market fame, couldn't leave any name in Datang in his life, and had to wait until the Song Dynasty His talent was discovered by later generations.

There are two ways to become an official in Datang: there are people behind you and you are famous enough. There are only these two kinds of people who can be admitted to the imperial examination, maybe when Zhang Jiuling is the prime minister, there will be a small number of people who have no backers who can be admitted to the Jinshi, but now that Li Linfu has become the prime minister, those who have no backers can't be admitted to the Jinshi at all, and they can't be famous enough, of course, talent is the least important thing.

After all, Li Linfu is a real villain who excludes talents to the point of being able to say such things as "wild and virtuous". Li Changan can know this, or she wrote a paper about Du Fu - Du Fu also took that exam and failed because "there is no trace of talent".

No matter how ironic, the poets are not considered virtuous.

Li Changan also learned a little bit about Li Linfu's "talent" by the way, and found that this prime minister has a nickname called "Prime Minister of Rongzhang", the source is that when Li Linfu wrote a congratulatory speech to people, he wrote "Rongzhang Zhiqing" as "Rongzhang Zhiqing", Zhang is Baoyu, and the roe deer is a wild animal, and this kind of writing and miswriting Li Linfu has done it more than once, and this talent "far surpasses" Du Fu's Zai Lian Lian can not recognize all the words.

But fame can hide something. For example, Li Changan actually planned to go through the back door to stuff Shen Chu in, but she couldn't let others see that Shen Chu was admitted to the imperial examination through the back door, so fame was the best way to cover up.

She knew that Li Linfu didn't care about fame at all, but others didn't know. Shen Chu was famous and was admitted to the imperial examination, and others would only think that he was admitted by virtue of his talent, Shen Chu had a smooth journey, and others would only think that Shen Chu's fame was appreciated by Shangguan.

In the final analysis, Li Changan and Shen Chu are no different from Concubine Wu Hui and Li Linfu, they all rely on nepotism to support each other in high positions, and then use this to support other party henchmen.

It's just that Li Changan intends to cover up this unorthodox matter with a layer of glorious justice.

"Teacher, you just spend a lot of money to help the weak, you don't have to worry about money, you just have to play your name as 'Jade Noodles Meng Wei'." Li Changan said with a smile.

Jade noodles Meng taste? Shen Chu's eyelids jumped, and the style of painting jumped from the three hundred Tang poems to the Water Margin at once?

"Spending a lot of money? How do you get that much money? The jade-faced Meng tasted Shen Chu rubbed the corners of his forehead, forcing himself to ignore the title of middle two.

Li Changan looked at Shen Chu with a smile: "I remember that the teacher can fry tea?" ”

Shen Chu does know how to fry tea, his teaching tasks and scientific research tasks are not heavy, he himself has no family, no parents and no children, and has a lot of leisure time, so he naturally has a lot of vassal and elegant hobbies.

From the end of February to the beginning of March every year, Shen Chu will go to Yunnan and Sichuan with his old friends to personally pick tea and fry tea and taste tea.

Li Changan still received a can of Qingcheng snow buds from Shen Chu, and only then did he know that his teacher still had such a craft.

Datang has begun to make tea popular, but the taste of tea soup at this time is more wonderful. In Datang, there is no tea to drink, only to eat tea, this tea is eaten in the literal sense, the tea leaves are crushed into powder, put in the furnace to steam, add salt, pepper, goat milk and other ingredients, until the paste is boiled, and then you can put it out and start eating tea.

Li Changan once ate it, and almost vomited it on the spot after taking a bite, and he didn't know how those literati and monks and Taoists managed to drink tea with relish.

"You want to sell tea?" Shen Chu guessed Li Changan's thoughts.

"Tea is not the same as tea."

Li Changan was confident: "Teacher, we have to believe in the strict selection of our ancestors, which was the ancestors who improved the tea soup into tea after 1,300 years of pondering." The Datang people also have tongues, and I believe they can drink which is better, tea or tea soup. ”

In the final analysis, the tea culture of the Tang Dynasty has just started, and the tea soup is only a primary product, and it will take countless generations of exploration and improvement to form the final form of complete maturity in later generations. Just like the barbecue and barbecue in the barbecue, a person who has never eaten cooked meat will be shocked when he first eats the meat roasted over the fire, but after he has eaten the charcoal-grilled mutton brushed with barbecue sauce and soup, he will only find it difficult to swallow when he is allowed to eat the stinky lamb that was roasted on the outside and raw inside the roasted batter at the beginning.

You have to believe in the wisdom of your ancestors, the tea that your ancestors have improved for 1,300 years can't get worse and worse.

There are still teachers whose children are a treasure, Li Changan was still worried about how to make new things to make money, after all, she neither knew how to make soap nor burned glass, she thought that she really couldn't do something that violated her conscience but did not violate Tang Law to make money, fortunately, there was also Shen Chu, she was young and couldn't make new things, but Shen Chu would definitely have so many dozens of hobbies when she was older.

Shen Chu was quite proudly bathed in Li Changan's adoring eyes, he cleared his throat and said reservedly: "Actually, being a teacher is not only good at making tea. ”

Li Changan's eyes bloomed with surprise, and he looked up at Shen Chu even more admiringly.

"I also make wine with my friends from time to time, and I make good wine." Shen Chu has a wide range of interests, especially likes to play some things that traditional literati and ink writers like to play, such as tea and wine, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

These things are just like fishing, easy to get started and difficult to go deep. Shen Chu was just drinking tea and tasting wine at first, but later he was taken by a few friends to start studying tea culture and wine culture, and then a few old friends pulled him to experience making his own tea and wine, and was inexplicably pulled into a few fan groups...... It's out of control.

"Teacher, do you have a hobby of frying things?" Li Chang'an's eyes were looking forward to it, "I want gunpowder, the kind of stable and controllable gunpowder that can be used as explosives!" ”

Shen Chu: "......"

Who would be a normal person to develop the strange hobby of "explosion is art"?

"Ugh." Li Changan sighed lightly and said to himself, "Professor Chen from the school next door to us will definitely make explosives." Of course, teacher, you are the best teacher in Datang in my heart. ”

That's because the school next door is Polytechnic University, and Professor Chen teaches ammunition engineering! Shen Chu grinded his teeth, and was going to stuff Li Changan into the stove as firewood before roasting the tea.
