Meeting up with a few friends in Bianjing City, going to Yunxuan to drink tea is both decent and fashionable. Drinking tea in Yunxuan does not cost much money, not to mention that during this scientific examination, Yunxuan sponsored the candidates in the examination room.

Drinking tea in.

If it weren't for the fact that the scientific examination was a matter of national concern and a very serious matter, Wang Pang would have put up a big banner in the examination room with the words: "If you are afraid of getting angry, drink Yunxuan tea.

Special sponsorship for the exam!”

At the same time, please also note: The top three in the scientific examination will have a chance to survive. Yunxuan will provide you with free VIP silver medals throughout the year. Follow Yunxuan Tea and follow the scientific examination.

I digress. Although Wang Pang didn't do much, Yunxuan's reputation was not only famous for providing tea for the scientific examination, but also because since Wang Yansou won three yuan in a row, Yunxuan's reputation has become even greater. Not to mention Yunxuan's hanging.

The "Tea Drinking Picture" inscribed by Wang Yansou.

During the three days when Yunxuan was open to the public, before dawn, some rich people would send servants or bookboys to line up for the owner.

Come and queue up early in the morning. There are often people who arrive late on the opening day and are not qualified to enter, so they leave with regret.[

These people can enter Yunxuan not only to see the poems and paintings of famous artists in Yunxuan, or to meet friends to show their worth, but also to leave a piece of writing in Yunxuan. Maybe this wording will be used one day.

The emperor in the white dragon fish suit is in the spotlight, so even if you miss the top three, you still have a chance to be remembered.

Regarding these words, Wang Pang ordered his men to keep them safe. In fact, they may not really show them to the emperor, but who knows which calligraphy and painting in them will be worth thousands of gold in the future. What's more, for Wang Pang, who has traveled through time

For people who came from the Song Dynasty, even if it was a piece of paper, a pen or a plate or bowl, if anything could be brought back to modern times, it would be a valuable treasure.

Every time Wang Pang told Yue Xia that his fantasy was actually Wang Pang's experience in modern times, such as houses, cars, mobile phones, and computers, Yue Xia's eyes would light up when he heard it, and even Wang Pang himself thought about it.

, if there is a chance to bring Yuexia back to modern times. No wonder Wang Pang thinks so. In ancient times, there seemed to be nothing to do except read books or talk under a black light at night. Especially now that he has Yuexia, it is even less possible for him to do it every night.

Shengge.

People who leave home will miss home, not to mention that Wang Pang has been in the Song Dynasty for three or four years. Although he has adapted to the living habits of the ancients, after all, he knows the legend of traveling through the past and the present, and there will always be some thoughts in his heart.

Time did not stand still. After the autumn exam, Wang Pang was about to leave. Zhang Yi’s beggar gang sent news: the White Stone God of Xixia appeared. But the content of the news was that Queen Liang of Xixia gave birth to a son, who was killed by Xixia.

People worshiped the white stone god, so Wang Pang decided to go and find out for himself.

When Wang Pang was in Yanzhou, he once saw the Xixia people using Yuexia as the white stone god, but he knew in his heart that Yuexia's ability to perceive other people's thoughts was given by the white jade. The stone in Yuexia

It has been broken into pieces. Are there other similar stones?

What he needs to solve now is the problem of funds to buy horses. Since Li Enxi informed Wang Pang that the actual funds of Meyer Mansion were not as Wang Pang imagined, Wang Pang realized that he had one mine and the other to oversee the tea industry in the capital.

, plus a restaurant and a tea shop, the working capital of such a business is only more than one thousand taels of silver, which is only three to five hundred thousand in modern society.

Ever since Wang Pang thought of converting it like this, his concept of money has become much clearer. Three to five hundred thousand is really not much, not to mention that Yunzhai has been pressed by the court for several months. The more "Yunzhai" is issued, the more Wang Pang will

The more money is pressed next to it.

Besides, raising horses is not a trivial matter. Even if the land is allocated to hundreds of hectares, the land for raising horses is mainly Longyou and Youyun. However, by the Northern Song Dynasty, Longyou was occupied by Xixia and Youyun was occupied by Liao. Even if horses are raised in the interior, it is not a trivial matter.

When used during war, most of the horses would be lost due to travel or water and soil on the battlefield. Although the horses supplied to the court were highly profitable, if the survival rate was low when they were put to use, I am afraid that the king would not be able to afford it. These things

It cannot be solved by Wang Pang recruiting people to join or designing a membership system.

However, the good news also came over time. The magazine "Yunzhai" with the recruitment recruitment was distributed. Within ten days and a half, there were Caozhou, Puzhou, and Jeju on the East and West Road of Jingjing; and North and West Road of Jingjing.

The Zheng, Cai, Ying, and Ru prefectures, as well as the Xiang, Ding, Xing, Huai, and Wei prefectures of Hebei West Road all have local wealthy businessmen wanting to join.

These states are all relatively close to Bianjing, and the reputation of Jinxiu Tower has spread to these places long ago, and these places are also the fastest to receive the news. Among them, six or seven meet Wang Pang's requirements, so that the temporarily over-turnover banknotes can be slightly relaxed.

.

Wang Pang also took time out to visit Wang Anshi and Bao Zheng. Wang Anshi was fine, but Mr. Bao had been sick since the beginning of summer. Wang Pang had visited several times, but he still felt uneasy.

.After all, Master Bao treats himself well. Regardless of the world's evaluation of Master Bao, Wang Pang and Master Bao still get along with each other affectionately. What's more, Master Bao protects Wang Pang in every aspect, and Wang Pang is able to be where he is today.

With so many things in mind, Wang Pang picked out the best tea from the teahouse and was about to go to the mansion to visit Mr. Bao. Suddenly, he heard that the messenger came to summon Wang Pang to see him, and the invitation was very urgent. Wang Pang

He hurriedly changed his clothes and entered the palace with the messenger.

Wang Pang saw Emperor Renzong sitting on the dragon chair, frowning at the table of royal meals in front of him. Wang Pang thought to himself, maybe Emperor Renzong felt that the royal meals were not to his taste, so he asked himself to cook it himself? In that case, he would have eaten earlier.

Leave the capital, or you will really become the royal chef.

He went up to pay homage to Emperor Renzong, and when he heard the emperor talk about being flat, he stood respectfully beside him. Normally Renzong would have asked him something, but today Renzong didn't say anything either, and he just stood next to the king. There was a burst of excitement in the room.

Silent. Renzong waved his hands, and the people on both sides who retreated pointed to the seats next to the table.

Wang Pang understood that Renzong was in a bad mood today. He took a look at the dishes on the table. The dishes were relatively simple. Being an imperial chef was the dream of all chefs, but it would be a blessing to be the imperial chef of Emperor Renzong. Renzong was the most famous chef in the legend.

The simple emperor not only eats every meal simply, but also never skips meals.

There is a story in the palace that Renzong was hungry once and endured it all night. The next day the queen asked him why he didn't let the imperial kitchen cook something. Renzong replied that if he asked the imperial kitchen to cook it this time,

In the future, the imperial dining room will be prepared for him every day, which is not only a waste but also affects the rest of the chefs in the imperial dining room and the palace attendants. This and the worn-out dragon robes that Renzong wore privately every time Wang Pang met with him.

, all moved Wang Pang very much.

After a long while, Renzong sighed: "Wang Bian, which of the two dishes in front of me is better?"

The one closest to Renzong was a colorful "plain assorted brocade", which was exactly the "Beautiful Rivers and Mountains" that Wang Pang had cooked for Renzong in Jinxiu Tower, and which Renzong admired endlessly; another dish was wooden barrel mutton, made from

The name "unify the country" is the same as the word "tong", and this mountain is naturally the mutton that should be dealt with.[

Wang Pang looked at it and saw that Renzong was not necessarily bothered by the mutton smell or the assorted vegetables being too plain. The emperor was probably troubled by the names of these two dishes, so Wang Pang said: "Your Majesty, it seems that these two dishes can be eaten at the same time.

I wonder why Your Majesty is so delayed in using the chopsticks?"

Renzong shook his head: "What emperor is immune to meat and fish meat? But if we want to unify the country, I am afraid that this beautiful country will inevitably be ruined."

The king smiled and said: "Then you have to choose one. If they are both cold and both tasteless, it is better to choose one. Or get both."

Renzong still didn't move his chopsticks. He pointed to the table: "I allow you to accompany me to eat. You can choose one."

Wang Bian picked up the chopsticks. He liked to eat the wooden barrel of mutton, especially the one made in the imperial dining room must be made from the finest lamb. The heating of the wooden barrel kept the meat delicious. He knew how to cook that Splendid Jiangshan.

In normal times, he would definitely attack that unified country.

But Wang Pang's mind changed. The reason why the emperor was so eager to recruit him into the palace was probably not just because he didn't know what to eat. Moreover, the food was still steaming. It should be the emperor's deliberate arrangement.

The king is not stupid, and he was not stupid in his previous life. What's more, after spending so many years in the society, he took a chopstick and said to the beautiful country: "The common people like to cook this dish for the emperor. I will try it for the emperor."

Is this dish better than what the common people cook?"

Renzong's frown relaxed a little, looked at Wang Pang and asked: "How does it compare to you?"

Wang Bianyan ordered the dishes, put down his chopsticks and said: "The ingredients used in the imperial dining room are incomparable to those of a small restaurant, but the food made by the common people is naturally more attentive. There is no comparison."

Renzong laughed when he heard what Wang Pang said. He knew that Wang Pang was shrewd. Since there was such an important matter, he felt relieved, especially the border between the two countries. Now he knew that Wang Pang was keen on unifying the country.

Seeing Wang Pang looking at him, he said: "Xixia is now repeatedly harassing people across the border. This matter is related to their salt production. Although our government prohibits the smuggling of Xixia salt, if someone crosses the border to smuggle salt, some people are caught at the border.

There are people from the Song Dynasty and Xixia people, and nothing has been done yet. I don’t know if Xixia deliberately used this as a reason to send troops.”

As the king listened, he knew that Renzong had something to do with him, but it was not his turn to take care of the border issues, so he listened to Renzong continue: "Originally, it is enough for the border guards to follow the orders, but you also listen

Having said that the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, I feel that there must be something hidden in the illegal salt trade here. I plan to send you to check it out."

When Wang Pang heard about this, he wanted to go there anyway, so he said: "The common people are willing to investigate this matter for the emperor."

Renzong nodded and continued: "One more thing. The Xixia Kingdom sent an envoy to say that they heard that there is a young Confucian businessman in our country, and he is original in food and drink, and also invented fragrant cakes. I invite you to teach him." This Xixia man.

This problem has persisted since Li Yuanhao became emperor, harassing and sending envoys at the same time.

No wonder the emperor wants to test himself. If he wants to spy on the country and collude with the Xixia people, he will be in trouble. But Wang Pang really has no such plan. The emperor is too superstitious. In this case, he will accept the order. Anyway, he has to go, people.

I went there without checking the name, and I don't know if Xixia is because Wang Pang's status is too special, he is not an official and he is favored at a young age, so I want to find out.
