Su You smiled and said: "This is a record from "Zhihuzi" in the Tang Dynasty. It is said that there was a fire in the Bailiang Palace in the Han Dynasty. A wizard suggested that a fishtail-shaped copper tile be placed on the top of the floor.

Prevent sky fires caused by lightning.”

"I saw that there are chichi kisses at both ends of the building of Daxiangguo Temple. Legend has it that these are dragon sons. They have a moist mouth and a thick throat and are easy to swallow. They became the spine-swallowing beasts at both ends of the temple ridge, which can swallow fire and eliminate disasters."

Daolong nodded: "Yes, the master ink master also said that the dragon's head should be pointed toward the sky and the dragon's tongue should be made of bronze, but I don't understand the reason, and it has no effect."

Su You was stunned, this thing already exists?

"Well, the master craftsmen may have overlooked one thing. Tianshi Daoist Zhang Tianshi is good at thunder. He said that in the experiment, he found that electricity can be induced by metal. In addition to using bronze dragon tongue according to ancient books, it also needs to be induced from the root of the dragon tongue.

The copper bars are connected to the lightning array made of iron blocks buried underground."

"Thunder and lightning reach the Yang, and the earth is Yin. With metal as a guide, the strong energy from the Yang can follow it and enter the ground, without having to penetrate the house and tear it apart, and the building will be intact."

"As for why there are missing records in ancient books, I don't know."

Daolong Heshi: "Amitabha, this is indeed the director of the Taoist sect. The profound powers of this generation of heavenly masters have been proven by many experiences, and I think they are not bad. How do you set up this magic circle? Mingrun, do you know?"

Su You said: "I don't think it's that complicated. It's just three things: lightning pins, lightning wires, and drainage nets. It's not that mysterious."

Daolong didn't believe it at all: "It seems that Mingrun also has a partial understanding. I'd better write to the Little Heavenly Master for advice."

Then it would be strange if he didn't cheat you to death!

Forget it, the truth sometimes doesn't make sense, so Su You decided to shut up.

After coming out of Daxiangguo Temple, Su You declined the invitation from the nobles, saying only that he would study behind closed doors, decline all social interactions, and prepare seriously for the exam.

After seeing the two of them off and getting on their horses, Su You secretly breathed a sigh of relief, finally not offending anyone.

Shi Tong came over with a smile: "Master, you were not here just now, so you didn't see the scene! The glazed mirrors that everyone in the Cao family and the Gao family were attracted to, people flocked to them. The largest one sold for 2,300 guan! The smallest one was more than 300 guan.

!”

Su You had been frightened all morning, and now he had no interest in making money anymore. He kicked Shi Tong hard: "You are the one who deceives the master and destroys the ancestors! Instead of taking the blame for me, you will roast me on the fire. I will make you look good when I go back."

!”

Shi Tong was very dissatisfied and ran after Su You's horse, shouting: "Master, aren't I making a name for you?! Why are you still complaining about me..."

"I want you to give me a good name? You give me a bad reputation for making poems and articles..."

The two of them quarreled all the way back towards Su's house as the master was not like the master and the apprentice was not like the apprentice.

…

With millions of dollars, Su You no longer dared to go out. Apart from answering questions every day, his only hobby was making delicious food.

Gradually, this place became a small club.

Su Shi was a man who believed that there were no bad people in the world. According to the evaluation of future generations, he could be accompanied by the Jade Emperor and even a common man.

Because of this, he had many friends, and he often brought people back for dinner in the evening. Su You cooked delicious and delicious food, which was cheaper than a group of Su Shi's friends in the same year.

They are all young people who have just started working. They are wearing green robes all over the country. They don’t know where they get their confidence.

However, I have heard a lot of gossip from these people.

For example, last month, while Su You was busy selling mirrors, the officials were busy exiling palace residents.

According to the petty officials, this is what happened.

The Liu family of Pengcheng County was elected to the imperial palace from among the people and was favored by the officials.

Relying on the favor of the officials, Mrs. Liu acted arrogantly and even composed memorials indiscriminately. Song Renzong was almost confused by her.

At that time, there were ten favored palace servants in the palace, who were called "Ten Pavilions".

In the end, things developed to the point where several people, led by the Liu family, could not bear the loneliness and had fornications with people who entered the palace to meet the officials!

Han Jiang, the censor Zhongcheng, was also an iron-headed man. He collected evidence privately and then secretly told the officials about the situation.

After the official heard this, Long Yan was furious. In July of the fourth year of Jiayou's reign, he banished 236 palace officials, including the most favored concubines such as Liu and Huang.

Su You never said a word about these things, but in his heart, he had already judged that this was an important signal that Queen Cao had tolerated it for so many years and finally gained the attention of the officials and officially took over the harem.

…

In the harem, Queen Cao sat at the dressing table, and Shang Gong dressed her up.

Looking at the no longer beautiful face in the glass mirror, Empress Cao couldn't help but sigh: "Why are you so clear-minded? You don't have to cause trouble to others."

Shang Gong took out a bead flower from the box and said, "My slave recognizes this bead flower. It was taken by Concubine Zhang from the empress."

Empress Cao glanced at Shang Gong: "Shut up, old slave. It's just a pearl flower. Besides, everyone is dead. From now on, I have to call her Queen Wen Cheng."

Shang Gong said respectfully: "Yes."

After saying that, he added: "If it hadn't been for the queen, these messy things wouldn't have happened in the palace. Now it's finally as clear as this mirror."

The Queen glanced at the Pearl Flower and showed a fleeting look of disgust: "Let's change it to another one. Put this one away as a souvenir."

Shang Gong said respectfully: "Yes, your Majesty is always generous."

Empress Cao smiled: "The word "generous" is never close to that of me. There are always troubles when there is muddyness, and there are troubles when there is clarity when there is clarity."

"Singing and dancing can never last long. If you always think about wrong things, you will actually become a fool...

"The two hundred and thirty-six people who were sent out this time are all ungrateful people. They are not even as good as a child thousands of miles away! Alas..."

…

Su You is entertaining guests again today.

Wang Shao, Su Shi's fellow Jinshi, was elected as the chief registrar of Xin'an, equivalent to the director of the county office.

Of course the kid didn't want to go, but he was worried about not passing the exam, so he wanted to travel to Shaanxi to enrich himself.

Su You cooked a particularly exquisite meal today, braised pork with bean sprouts, stir-fried shredded lotus root, boiled fish, white-cut chicken, and bean sprout meatball soup.

Su Shi smiled and said: "The person Mingrun likes can tell just by looking at the food. Four meats and one vegetarian. Zichun is the first class. Among peers, with you as the leader, come here, come here, use your chopsticks quickly."

Wang Shao twitched his lips: "Zizhan, don't make fun of me."

Su You came up with a plate of steamed eggs with sauteed seeds: "Zizhan didn't say hello in advance, and he didn't treat him well. Brother Zichun, just don't show up."

This boy is now nearly thirty. He lost his father when he was young and studied hard to become what he is today. But now he is preparing to travel to Shaanxi and interview the border guards. All his classmates are trying to persuade him. Su Shi dragged him back today just for this reason.

.

As a result, when he met Su You, Su Shi's advice to Wang Shao was completely ruined.

Su You brought out the Southwest Map and detailed the map making method with Wang Shao. Then the two of them pieced together a large map in the room, then ran outside to break off wicker branches from the willow tree, and scolded Fang Qiu for a long time on the map. Wang Shao's

The ambition became more determined.

Su Shi also wanted to persuade: "Zichun, why do you have to suffer like this?"

Wang Shao rolled his eyes: "I really want to take the exam, but Mr. Han has already said that there will be big and small Su participating in the exam this time, so why should we join in the fun?"

Su Shi advised: "Where can it be so easy..."

Wang Shao raised his wine glass: "Come on! Compared to Mingrun, I'm already living like a dog at this age. In six years, I can actually do such a big thing, that's great! Mingrun, here's to you.

Cup, I will never let you be more beautiful than before, brother!"

Su You smiled and said: "I can't do this thing alone. I have Sitong Company as my background, I have the help of all the sages along the way, and I have the two bachelors Zhang and Zhao taking care of me. Brother Zichun, there are many people in the Song Dynasty who are high-minded and talkative.

, there are few people who are pragmatic and seek truth. Now that I have changed my mind, this cup should be a congratulation to my eldest brother."

Wang Shao laughed loudly and drank it all in one gulp.

Su Shi took Su You's cup in front of him and said, "I found an excuse to drink wine secretly again. I confiscated the cup."

Su You took out a stack of money from his arms and said, "I earned ten thousand yuan from selling a mirror the day before yesterday. Brother Zichun has been alone and poor since he was a child. I don't think he has much savings, so this thousand yuan is considered a burden."

Wang Shao quickly declined.

Su You said: "Brother Zichun, listen to what I have to say. Shaanxi is a war-torn place, and Yanbian is a mixed bag of barbarians. They only care about goods and money, and do not care about morality and etiquette."

"If you want to survey the geographical mountains and rivers of Yanbian, Shaanxi, you must deal with them. The best thing to get in and out of them is tea porcelain and silk brocade."
