The first legitimate son of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 192 Wei Rentu’s plan begins!

In the Shengle Building, the dignitaries were still snatching away the big clock, bidding a hundred guan at a time. A group of dignitaries were desperately holding up the signs in their hands.

At this time in Kaimingfang.

Wei Jin is studying in his study. Wei Jin is an out-and-out scholar, and his dream is to pass the exam to become a scholar. Why should he pass the exam to become a scholar? Because in the Tang Dynasty, only scholars were the strongest scholars.

It has a lot to do with the division of the Tang Dynasty into two. The Tang Dynasty divided the scientific examination into two categories: regular subjects and system subjects. Those who passed the regular subjects became Jinshi, and those who passed the system subjects became scholars.At the same time, the regular subjects are divided into two categories: Mingjing and Jinshi. Generally speaking, as long as you can recite poems and books and can write policy theories and classic meanings, you can pass the regular subjects examination.

The most difficult thing is the system of subjects. The biggest difference between the system of subjects and the regular subjects is that the emperor presides over it and sets the examination subjects. This is the same as the examination scope. Therefore, in addition to the poetry and classic meanings necessary for the regular subjects, the system of subjects requires , it also requires outstanding literary talent and the ability to analyze substances, and the passing rate of the system is also extremely low.

This also led to the fact that during the entire Tang Dynasty, there were only six people who passed the examination to become scholars. This shows that it was so difficult that from the middle of the Tang Dynasty, the examination became a false examination because no one Apply for the exam.

Wei Jin is a person who loves reading very much. His dream is to be a scholar. After all, he has no shortage of food and drink. He does not need those regular examinations to obtain official titles, so he wants to take the formal examinations and become a scholar that everyone admires and talks about. Taoist people.

When Wei Jin was reading, Cui Mian would enjoy the scenery in the garden. The gardens of the Tang Dynasty were very beautiful, with landscapes and trees embedded in them. Therefore, his own garden was like the parks of later generations, and you could walk through it. It's still very pleasant. Of course, this is a garden owned by a wealthy family. If you don't have money, you'd better think about eating.

At this time, Wei Rentu came to his well with a bag of Mongolian sweat medicine, and then poured the Mongolian sweat medicine into it. The ancient Mongolian sweat medicine was made from Datura flowers, and the poison was not very high, but But it can turn people around, this thing is hard to come by, so it is not easy for ordinary people to get it. A big bag like Wei Rentu requires not only money but also contacts.

"Young Master, why are you here?"

Suddenly, a timid girl's voice came from behind Wei Rentu. This voice also frightened Wei Rentu half to death. He quickly turned around and saw that it was Lian Xiu, the rough girl in the kitchen, with an unnatural expression. , Wei Rentu said 'hmm' and said: "I just took a look, what are you doing here?"

Lianxiu quickly replied: "If you go back to Mr. Shao Lang, I'm here to fetch water."

Wei Rentu nodded: "Then just get some water!"

As he said that, Wei Rentu took a step back, moved the well mouth out of the way, and let Lianxiu come to fetch water. After seeing Wei Rentu step aside, Lianxiu did not doubt that he was there, so she took a bucket to draw water in the well. Water, however, just after Lianxiu put the bucket into the well, Wei Rentu suddenly strangled Lianxiu's neck from behind. Lianxiu didn't even have a chance to shout, her legs kept moving The friction back and forth on the ground.

She wanted to break open Wei Rentu's hand that was holding her neck with both hands, but her strength could not compare with Wei Rentu's. After a while, Lianxiu's legs stopped struggling and her hands lowered silently. down.

At this time, Wei Rentu showed a sinister expression on his face and said: "Lianxiu, don't blame me. If you want to blame, blame you for showing up at an inappropriate time. There can be no mistakes in this matter. I can't bet on it. For everything in the future, you must die."

After saying that, Wei Rentu dragged Lianxiu's body to his yard.

"Ten thousand guan once, ten thousand guan twice, and ten thousand guan three times for the prince-in-law to get this last big clock."

Liu Zhizhi excitedly banged the small wooden hammer in his hand, sealing success.

At this time, Cheng Chuliang stood up with a smile and cupped his hands to the people around him and said, "Thank you for your noble hand. Thank you for your noble hand."

After winning the last big clock, Cheng Chuliang was still very happy, because Cheng Chuliang came here for the watch at the beginning, and his father gave his watch to his aunt, so he dared not speak out.

But the best thing he had ever owned was gone again. This feeling of loss made Cheng Chuliang feel bad, so this time Cheng Chuliang and Princess Qinghe came to the auction together. The two of them had nearly [-] yuan in their pockets. , want to take a picture of one or two watches.

But just after the price of the first large clock appeared, Cheng Chuliang knew that it might not be possible to buy the watch with his [-] guan, because the price of the first large clock was [-] guan. It was Li Chongyi, the eldest son of Li Xiaogong, who decided the fate for once.

Maybe it was because it was the first time and people were not in a hurry to take pictures, thinking that the later ones might be cheaper, but little did they know that there were a total of thirteen big clocks, and none of the later ones cost less than [-] yuan.

At the last one, Cheng Chuliang also woke up. It would be good if he could take away a big bell with his Wan Guan. So when the big bell reached five thousand Guan, Cheng Chuliang called ten thousand Guan in one breath. Maybe everyone Seeing the eagerness of the Prince Consort, they all gave the Prince Consort face, and no one called out after Wan Guan.

Only then could Cheng Chuliang pocket this big clock.

After saying his thanks, Cheng Chuliang sat down, but at this time, another tray was taken out from the stage, and a total of one hundred and eight identical round Dongzhu appeared in the tray.

Dongzhu refers to the pearls produced by river mussels in Heilongjiang, Songhua River, Huntongjiang, Mudanjiang, Nenjiang and Aihui areas.

Everyone knows that the temperature in these places is very cold. If you want to collect Dongzhu, you usually do it at night, preferably on a moonlit night. They use a bamboo pole to insert into the bottom of the water. If it is in a place where clams gather, they will often Hear the sound of clams rubbing against poles.At this time, the pearl divers would drink a few sips of Kanto shochu before going into the water, put a reed tube in their nose or mouth to facilitate ventilation, then tie a rope and go down naked to collect.When they touch the clams, they hug the big ones and put the small ones in the fish skin pockets they carry with them.Afterwards, by shaking the rope, the people on the boat will pull the person into the water to the side of the boat.

Shiding is the collective name for pearl divers: humans who are like livestock.

Some rivers in the northeastern region have just thawed in April. Just think about how hard it is for the sacrifices. It can be said that they have a narrow escape. Even if they don't freeze to death, they will suffer from injuries all over their bodies. And the one who repays them is definitely not Dongzhu, only maybe It is a meager annual salary, and the production of Dongzhu is also very rare. Many ships often cannot catch many clams, and one ship of clams cannot produce a few decent beads.

Not to mention Dongzhu who is so big and round in front of me.

"Hey, these are good things. Why does Li An have all these good things?" After seeing Dongzhu, everyone in the venue became uneasy again.

"That's someone else's business. You need to take care of it." Cheng Chumo shouted loudly, trying to help his brother again.

"Hey, I'm not just asking, how dare I take care of it!" After being teased by Cheng Chumo, everyone didn't dare to make a mistake, after all, Cheng Chumo still had a great status in Chang'an City.

"I said you are here to take care of things or to buy things. Come on, let's start how to sell Dongzhu. Let's continue to shoot." The person who spoke was a young man from the Boling Cui family. He really liked these Dongzhu. , thinking about buying some for my mother.

Liu Zhizhi smiled and replied: "There are a total of [-] Dongzhu here, eighteen in a group, one hundred guan, eighteen hundred guan, one bid of [-] guan, please raise your sign."

"Two thousand, two thousand and two, two thousand and four, two thousand and six!" After Liu Zhizhi finished speaking, he raised the sign crazily, and Liu Zhizhi shouted quickly.

"Five thousand!" The young master of the Bolingcui family shouted loudly.

"Cui Jue. You have courage!" Someone recognized the young master and immediately shouted loudly.

"Eight thousand..." Who knew that Cui Jue was not even proud of himself, the boy from the Dugu family raised his sign and said calmly.

Cui Jue frowned slightly and put down the sign silently. The price of eight thousand was a bit high. He still wanted to save some money, and then sniped at the watch. In the end, the boy from the Dugu family won the first group with eight thousand swords. Dongzhu.

After getting the eighteen East Pearls, the boy from the Dugu family praised them repeatedly. After all, they were artificial pearls. They were perfectly round and as big as eighteen pearls. They are not valuable now, but in ancient times, they were considered wild, so they were simply It can be described as priceless.

"Wow!" Everyone gathered around and looked at each other with shocked expressions. This kind of quality also gave everyone a little more strength to compete for Dongzhu.

Soon, the price of the second group of Dongzhu began to rise continuously, and finally stopped at [-] yuan.

The prices of the subsequent four sets are all around [-] guan.

At this time, Li An was sitting on the third floor, with Liu Xiatian and Wei Wangning beside him, with a happy smile on his lips. At this time, Liu Xiatian said to Li An even more happily: "Mr. Lang, the school has been built. We can invite sir!”

"Yes!" Li An nodded: "Okay. After this auction, this matter will be handled by Ning'er. Ning'er is familiar with us in Chang'an City, and her connections will definitely help us hire a good gentleman. "

As he said that, Li An looked at Wei Wangning and said, "Ning'er, money is not an issue. As long as you are a good gentleman, I can pay any amount."

"I know. When the auction is over, I will do this. Mr. Lang, there is something I want to tell you."

"whats the matter?"

"I have kept some Dongzhu, crystal items, clocks, and Wuliangye. I hope you will send them directly to the palace. Your Majesty must also have what others have."

"Hiss!" Li An nodded slightly. He almost forgot about this. It's best to leave a copy of everything for Li Shimin. Otherwise, if the ministers have it but the emperor doesn't, it won't matter.

Looking at Wei Wangning, Li An smiled and nodded: "Ning'er, you did a good job. I didn't misjudge you."

A compliment made Wei Wangning's heart feel as sweet as honey.
