78, chapter seventy-eight(1/2)

"Playing Song"/Chunxi Di Xiao

Chapter 78

It is not easy to make friends these days, and any appointment can make you separate from each other. In addition to long-term communication with Sima Yan, Wang Rong really has no habit of writing letters to others at other times. He will reply to the previous letter if the other party asks something.

Of course, this is probably related to his age. Wang Yun put away the letters written by Su Shi and decided to find a professional pen friend. He often wrote letters to Wang Anshi who praised each other with his friends for his experience in consultation. It is necessary to stabilize Su Shi, the boss, and establish a good friendship. In this way, will the boss always help each other in business?

With a pure, lively and trouble-making heart, Wang Rong asked his father how to communicate with his pen pals in a friendly manner.

This was the first time Wang Anshi heard Wang Xun ask this question. He said naturally: "They read my article and talked to me about it. After a while, they became familiar with him." Wang Anshi was still a little modest. Most of the time, friends read his article and thought it was very good, and they praised him for writing it well.

Wang Rong: “…”

Refuse to use this kind of problem with the boss again.

Wang Yun refused to talk again, but Wang Anshi became interested and asked Wang Yun who he wanted to make friends with. Although Wang Yun played well with everyone, he was actually quite independent and a little arrogant. Even when facing Fan Zhongyan, Pang Ji and the others only admired him but were not afraid. Fan Zhongyan had talked to Wang Anshi about Wang Yun's point, saying that Wang Yun was too "no fearless and fearless", and didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.

When his father asked, Wang Yun naturally didn't hide it, so he took out Su Shi's letter to Wang Anshi. When Wang Anshi looked at it, he was indeed very literary, and his writing was very refreshing, which made people so amazing. However, after reading the whole article, Wang Anshi saw some clues: The person who wrote the letter was not very old and liked to eat and play like his son, and he must have a personality that was very troublesome.

No wonder his son wants to be friends with each other.

Wang Anshi returned the letter to Wang Rong, feeling that his son was not inferior to the other party, but he always adhered to the basic principle of "if you can do not praise him in person, if you can do it, if you can, you will hit him", nodded and said, "This young man is really well written, you can learn more from others."

Wang Yun didn't think this was unpleasant at all, but he felt happy. Who is this? This is Su Dongpo, who wrote "When will the bright moon come?", has been popular for many years and traveled through many time and space! To Wang Anshi's teaching as always, Wang Yun rarely actively expressed this time: "I will do it."

Wang Anshi: “…”

Forget it, let these young people play by themselves.

Wang Rong actively wrote a letter to Su Shi, first showing that the creation of "Water Margin God of Cookery" has its own copy, and the story outline was compiled by him and Shen Kuo. All the delicacies in it were created by them using their imagination. Fang's bookstore was developed according to the recipes in the book. Some were successful, while others still needed to work hard.

For example, when raising pigs, since I learned the secret method of Black Tornado, Manager Hu really took a butcher to cut eggs for the pig. The butcher is experienced and has very accurate swordsmanship. The pigs did not suffer at all and slept peacefully that night.

Next, these pigs spent money to foster the tenant households and gained weight. Compared with other pigs raised by the tenant households, there was more than a circle of pork! He is not in Yunzhou now and has never tasted this batch of pork in person, but his friend reported that it was not bad.

But if you want to promote it on a large scale, you have to explore it again~

After Wang Yun finished his description in detail, he excerpted the mutual harm written by Sima Yan to him for Su Shi to feel it.

Finally, Wang Rong envied Su Shi: I heard that the hair of the pig in the north is too long and the hair of the pig in the south is too hard. Only Sichuan pig's hair is moderately soft and hard, and the color is soft and shiny. It is the most comfortable to brush your teeth by making a toothbrush~

He drew a toothbrush production process for Su Shi behind his back so that Su Shi could also enjoy the fun of finding snow-white pig bristles.

I believe that Su Shi, a person who is so loyal, will definitely share it with him after finding the right bristle!

This place is too far away from Chengdu Prefecture, and the letter is long and far away. After Wang Yun sent it out, he put it behind and focused on investigating the case with his father.

There is no need for Wang Anshi to take care of small cases. Wang Anshi's hands are all cases of serious nature. Wang Yun has seen many ups and downs along the way, including internal struggles among wealthy families, poor families and armed fights among rural areas.

Most cases are simple and clear. Wang Anshi only needs to review it and determine whether the chain of evidence is clear and powerful. As for those cases that are slightly complicated, it is nothing to Wang Anshi.

Wang Rong was addicted to making up stories for Sima Yan. After making up, he had to read them for Wang Anshi and ask if Wang Anshi was wrong and if there was a way to dig the pit deeper.

Wang Rong also said to his father: "I heard that every time I wrote the letter I want to give Sima the purpose first. Dad, don't reveal your secrets when writing to him, we will also cheat him!"

Wang Anshi disagreed and said, "Is there anyone who teases your elders like this? You can still be a disciple of apprenticeship!"

As he said this, Wang Anshi's actions were very honest, actively helped Wang Yun dig the trap deeper, and cleverly avoided the case written by Wang Yun in the letter, striving to cheat Sima Guang and his daughter more thoroughly.

With Wang Anshi checked, Wang Yun was more skillful in creating and tricked Sima Yan several times. Sima Yan was very unhappy and wrote a letter to Wang Yun to suggest: "It's better to sort out these mysteries and print them into books for others to play with them. Remember to wait three or five months before announcing the answers to them."

This is really the most toxic girl! Wang Yun was very despised Sima Yan's suggestion, and secretly thought to himself: It is not good to make trouble in Qilu, and someone might guess the answer early, so it would be better to use it in Kaifeng to dig a hole for others.

There are a large number of bigwigs who are familiar with the law in Kaifeng. If you cheat people, you should cheat like that! Professionals also jump to the pit, how cool it is!

Wang Yun arranged the case from easy to difficult, and improvised a batch of 100-character criminal investigation puzzles for Fang Hong to use, preparing to take the opportunity to engage in legal education to improve the people's legal awareness. He sorted out the manuscript and found someone to send it directly to the capital.

...

In Kaifeng, Fang Hong has divided multiple publishing branches, including those who are responsible for literary and literary journals, those who are specialized in planning medical journals, as well as picture books, vernacular books, and other publishing and marketing. Among them, literary and literary and medical journals have been fixed as a group of long-term readers, and have already had a certain influence in the professional field.

Especially in medical journals, each issue of the above will discuss specific diseases and publish relevant treatments and maintenance methods. At first, some people were self-refined and unwilling to publish their own secret skills. Later, they found that some of the rival schools actually brought private goods and released their broken theories to mislead others! That's unbearable!

With Fang Hong's intention to create momentum, this medical journal that became popular at the beginning has now become an authoritative "stadium". When all the companies argued at the height of the time, they would forget to hide their personalities and take out their secret skills to debate. Old Man Cao and Sima Yan are now responsible for checking the manuscripts, and by the way, they can popularize some safe and non-side effects treatment methods, and then carry private goods to promote the importance of physical examinations at all times.

The physical examination is beneficial to doctors everywhere, so the doctors have actively promoted it, which has greatly increased the detection rate of various major diseases. It has long been popular among the powerful and wealthy households in various places - rich and powerful families are often the ones who cherish their lives the most.

I learned that the founder of the journal "Jugui" was one of the initial promoters of the physical examination. Many people have a good impression of this medical journal. Even if they do not understand medical science, they will buy it as a popular science book to study and study, so as not to blind people at home when they get sick.

Having experienced the experience of hyping up so many books, Fang Hong only reads Wang Yun’s manuscript once and knows how to operate it.

This time, Wang Yun put the book under Wang Anshi's name. In addition to showing his "talent" when he was in correspondence with Su Shi, Wang Yun's principle has always been to hide behind him if he can, and to secretly cause trouble if he can do something. He is still a pitiful sapling! What should I do if I grow up too big and get pulled out? It's better to be low-key!

What's more, what if someone sends a blade to him for such a scam? He is still a child!

Fang Hong had no objection to being under Wang Anshi's name. Wang Anshi had compiled "Five Years of Imperial Examination and Three Years of Simulation" and wrote the best-selling author of "Selected Poems of Du Fu".

As this book of detecting cases and promoting legal affairs officially began to be distributed in various places, "Let's solve cases together" is called a new hot topic of discussion after psychological tests. After playing several entry-level 100-word mystery games, many people quickly got into the trap and bought one and started thinking with their friends!

People who bought the book read the unresolved cases with relish, and argued over and over again, and it was so lively. The tricky thing about this book is that the short cases and simple cases in the front can be found in the back, while the really difficult cases and really hotly discussed cases have no answers. The answer page says this sentence: If you want to know the truth, please listen to the next breakdown!

The person who bought the book turned the book back on the cover, stared at the author's name on it, and Youzhi roared angryly: Wang Anshi, I remember you!

Some people who failed to vote for the "Three Great Tang Poets" for their idols in the past two years have new and old hatreds that have come to their hearts: Wang Jiefu, it's you again!

However, cheating people is contagious. If a person accidentally falls into a pit, he will sit at the bottom of the pit to sell amendments to those who have not fallen: "The bottom of the pit is so comfortable. The scenery in the pit is so good, and there are many friends. We are having a lot of fun every day. Come down and enjoy the joy of falling into the pit together!"

In this way, more and more people fell into the trap, and Wang Anshi's hatred became more and more stable.

Wang Anshi knew that Wang Yun was going to publish a book, but he didn't know that Wang Yun was his name, so he was planning to send a book to Wang Anren to show off after the book started to be published: Did your daughter publish a book? My son also published a book, and he was younger than when your daughter published a book!

Before Wang Anshi could wait for Wang Yun's sample book, Wang Anren's letter was written. The general meaning of the letter was very simple: Brother, do you know how many people have made you grit your teeth now? When will you publish the second book to announce the answer? Can you give me a clear idea in advance? Your two nieces have both jumped into the trap! Don't worry, I promise that there will be no rumor! By the way, I heard that there are already censors who want to impeach you and are not doing your job properly. Remember to write a defense memorial in advance. It will be very troublesome to be targeted by them!

Wang Anshi:??????

Wang Anshi took the letter and went to settle the score with Wang Rong.

Wang Yun looked innocent: "Aren't these all the cases you investigated by Dad, did you dig a pit?" In order to prove his words, Wang Yun took out a sample book from somewhere and pointed out to Wang Anshi. He said with reasonable grounds that this pit was dug by Wang Anshi, and that pit was also dug by Wang Anshi. Wow, sinister, so sinister! It's simply outrageous!

Wang Anshi: “…”

Wang Anshi picked up the guy and chased Wang Yun and shouted, "If you take a small stick, you will get a big stick, you will leave. If I don't let you beat you, you will be filial to you." He ran all over the yard until Wu shouted that Wang Anshi took the guy away and recovered his peace.

...

On the other hand, Su Shi had received a reply from Wang Rong. He was a very troublesome person. After reading Wang Rong's letter, he replied enthusiastically, saying that he was very happy to get the author's response. Unexpectedly, there was another mysterious person behind "Water Margin God of Food". He was very sensitive to words. After reading Wang Rong's interesting description of the process of castrating pigs, he became happy to his heart and instantly understood which parts of "Water Margin God of Food" were copied by Wang Rong.

Su Shi happily wrote his inference in the letter and said that he would practice two things next: one, look for the white and soft pig bristles as a toothbrush; the other, buy two pigs and castrate them and observe the results at the tenant's house.

Su Shi is really a person who does it just by saying that pig bristles are not expensive, and piglets are not expensive.

The Su family is well-off, so Su Shi sent a book boy to take care of him. After the book boy came back, he looked strange and said to Su Shi: "I ran all over the city, and only one butcher said he could do the job of castrating pigs." The pigs lived well, so why did they have to castrate people? The book boy felt that his balls were also a little painful and a little sad. This was probably what Su Shi usually called "the rabbit died and the fox was sad."

This butcher was able to castrate pigs, not because he had done this before, but because he usually killed many pigs, was aware of the structure of the pigs, and was confident that he would cast it completely without killing it!

After hearing this, Su Shi nodded and said, "Then you go and do this, and you have to follow up in the future." The Su family usually eats little, and Su Shi is curious that the smell of mutton is really strong. You have to add more seasonings to cook, which is really not beautiful when you eat it. If this pig can really grow meat and not smell bad, the taste may not be very good!

After leaving the practice of castrated pigs to the book boy, Su Shi began to tick the toothbrush. It was okay to take pictures to ask people to do it outside. However, Su Shi was young and strong, and he had endless energy all over his body. He was happy to pull his younger brother to tick up this beautifully designed pig bristle toothbrush.

On the day Su Shi pulled Su Zhe and made the toothbrush, his classmate came over with a book, saying that he was smart and wanted to play a crime-solving game with him.

Su Shi suddenly felt excited and smiled, "Okay, okay, let me see!"

My classmates generously lent him the book, saying that he would come over to discuss it tomorrow. When Su Shi got the new book, he first looked at the author, which was Wang Anshi! He had a little impression of this author. He had heard of the votes of the "Three Great Poets of the Tang Dynasty" at the time. Unfortunately, they were too far away from the capital and could not vote in time. They could only watch Er Du on the list with regret! In his personal opinion, Su Shi felt that Bai Juyi could be selected.

Wang Anshi likes Du Fu! Su Shi opened the book with his hands and prepared to pick on it, but as he looked at it, he was soon attracted by the case in the book. He was well-informed and well-written, and studied criminal law, and occasionally compared the laws in his memory to analyze the case, and read it with relish.

Strangely, Su Shi felt that the writing of this book was somewhat familiar, which was somewhat different from the "Selected Poems of Du Fu" he had read. He stopped and pondered for a while, and found the first volume of "Water Margin God of Cookery". After a little comparison, he found out the reason why he felt familiar: this new book also has traces of the "behind-the-scenes author" who corresponded with him!

Du Fu's poem selections are very well-known throughout. Even when talking about some humorous content, it has a serious taste. It looks like it was written by a standard literati in his thirties or forties. This new book is different. Even when writing serious things, it gives people a feeling of relaxation and humor! Wang Anshi's surname is Wang, and the mysterious man behind this is also Wang. Could it be that they are of the same clan? Or father and son?

No matter what, Su Shi liked this new friend very much, so he began to read the new books he had made more seriously.

When Su Shi saw the sentence "If you want to know the truth, please listen to the next time you break it down", his head suddenly exploded. He... he decided to roll up his sleeves and write a letter to strongly condemn his new friend! If he cheated him like this next time, he would expose his vest!

...

Wang Rong didn't know that his vest was being stripped by someone he was ready to hook up with. He was lobbying his father to lend him a name to continue cheating people, and he said in a sarcastic manner that if the second volume could not be released, someone might come to him directly.

Wang Anshi refused at first, but later, after receiving a large number of condemnations from relatives and friends, he finally couldn't withstand the pressure and caused trouble with Wang Rong. He couldn't find the new case file, so he reviewed the old case file. It's true that Wang Anshi actually asked him to find a few unjust, false and wrong cases, and reported a list of dereliction of duty officials, asking the superiors to get rid of these people.

What civil servants like to do the most is to mix with each other. You will never know how much interest is hidden behind a grassroots official who looks ordinary. The memorial written by Wang Anshi was sent to the capital in autumn and he never received any news.

Wang Anshi was a little angry and slapped the table and asked Wang Rong to write these unjust, false and wrong cases into the book, so that everyone could tell the difference.

Wang Rong admired his father's learning ability very much. Not long after he came into contact, he could actually use public opinion and navy troops to solve the problem! Last time he tried to recall the future with Sima Yan, Sima Yan recalled something to him: his father's failure in the reform seemed to start with a picture of "The Refugees".

The so-called "Immortal Picture" means that some people painted the tragic situation of refugees displaced and promoted the painful consequences of the new law. They had thought about it before that the emperors of the Song Dynasty were a little dissatisfied in their ability to withstand pressure. Once this public opinion was incited, wouldn't the emperor with a weak mind give up on reform?

Public opinion can be said to be a typical representative of "water can carry a boat and can overturn the boat." Wang Rong did not intend to control this thing firmly in his own hands, but he would never be ruthless when he should use it!

Wang Rong was also disliked these unjust, false and wrong cases. These cases were either negligence of the judges or colluded with officials and bandits, which caused some innocent people to be subjected to hard labor for many years and even lost their lives. He decisively created the case, processed the case well, and did not amplify the angle of the injustice, and could definitely make the people who saw this case so angry that they wanted to catch the initiators and kill them.

After receiving the manuscript, Fang Hong took advantage of the fact that he was about to print the new book, and directly held a winter event: he went to the entrance of the bookstore to make a countdown, throwing out a mystery story every day to awaken others' memories of the pit of summer jumping.

In order to prevent readers from reaching the full value of the anger, Wang Anshi encountered an unexpected accident. This time the slogan was changed to a simple saying, "All the truth of this book is attached to the book, so there is no need to wait for the second volume."

On the day the new book was released, many people came here in person or sent slaves to buy books as soon as possible. Even though they were cheated so badly last time, they still wanted to read the new book. There are not many entertainment activities these days, and there is a book that combines fun and wisdom to read, and everyone is happy to pay for it.

Not to mention anything else, Wang Anshi passed the criminal law with high scores. Reading this book can also increase his experience and improve the pass rate of the exam! Many students use this reason to convince their parents to buy new books for them. The same reason is used a lot, and even the person who said it himself believes it and actively recommends it to others with this.

But although this book did not attract readers' appetite, it made readers furious and wished to roll up their sleeves and personally overturn the case for the poor people who suffered grievances.

Many big shots in Beijing also saw Wang Anshi's book through various channels. Some of them had learned about Wang Anshi's rough sweeps after scanning Wang Anshi's letter. They hurriedly negotiated with the people they handled with each other overnight, and quickly handed over the letters that were not allowed to be delivered for various reasons. The superior quickly approved it at an astonishing speed and asked someone to send the instructions to the other side of Jingdong Road.
To be continued...
