What is the concept of 100,000 taels of gold? That is one million taels of silver. Even the emperor has to think carefully about the money he has taken out.
But Li Chengfeng was not afraid because he had money and had several gold mines, which could eradicate hundreds of thousands of taels of gold every year. Of course, all of this money was swallowed by Li Chengfeng and not handed over to Li Shimin.
Li Chengfeng also knew that money alone would not improve the lives of the people of Shanxi. There was only money and no supplies. When the price rose, it was impossible to buy one or two golds for a carrot. So if the trade in Shanxi was not opened up, the people here would always be the ones.
It is impossible to become rich.
Then, the cultural competition began.
Li Chengfeng stood alone in the middle hall of Tianxu Pavilion, and all the Shanxi literati and scholars surrounded Li Chengfeng. The leaders were Luo Binwang, Kong Xu and others.
Because Luo Binwang also wanted to learn whether this so-called No. 1 prodigy in the Tang Dynasty was really as powerful as the legendary one.
Prince Tian and the great scholar of the Meihua Pavilion who claimed to be a student of Confucius sat in the middle hall, which was equivalent to the judges of this cultural competition.
Li Chengfeng said: "If the cultural competition is held in a 1-1 way, it may take three days and three nights to compete! Why not, we will play in a three-game and two-win situation, how about it?"
"It's OK, but the Eighth Prince, are you really sure that you have to compete with all the great Shanxi scholars and scholars here alone?"
Kong Xu held a folding fan in his hand, frowned, and looked at Li Chengfeng in disbelief.
Next to it, Luo Binwang and all Shanxi scholars found it incredible. Among them were genius poets who were hailed as never-before-seen in a century, and some Confucian scholars who had been studying literature all their lives. No matter what poetry, they were not an eight-year-old child could do.
Comparative?
Li Chengfeng calmly spoke: "Of course, for you, I am enough!"
"Wow, what a big tone!"
"Hmph, I'm so angry. If he hadn't been the Eighth Prince of the Tang Dynasty, I would have to teach him well!"
"That is, all of us are studying culture for more than 1,000 years. Even if the eighth prince started learning from the womb, he had not learned ten years of learning. How dare he fight our entire Shanxi cultural circle alone?"
"I can't bear it anymore. I can't help it. Let me meet the Eighth Prince first!"
"Hmph, let me do it first!"
Some old scholars couldn't sit still. They thought Li Chengfeng was arrogant and arrogant, and did not take them seriously at all.
At this time, Li Lizhi, behind Li Chengfeng, said disdainfully: "Hmph, just because you still want to fight with my brother Feng'er? You know, my brother Feng'er once defeated the two prime ministers Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling.
I don’t believe that your cultural level is comparable to Teacher Du Ruhui?”
As a princess of the Tang Dynasty, Li Lizhi has outstanding literary knowledge and may not be as good as these great scholars, but she is also a true scholar. She has read the Four Books and Five Classics since she was a child, learned Confucianism, and learned Taoist culture. Although she is not proficient in it,
It is no problem to ask him to recite the Analects of Confucius and the Tao Te Ching.
And how strong is Li Chengfeng's literary talent is, Du Ruhui once said that even if the heavens descend to earth, they are just like this. Of course, you should know that Li Chengfeng is a scientific research genius from the 21st century. He has received nine years of compulsory education, has memorized Tang poetry and Song lyrics, and has also
With the system in mind, in terms of talent, who can compare with him?
In the middle hall, the prince of Tian and the great scholar Fang Yuan agreed with Li Chengfeng's proposal and thought that this opinion was good. The main reason was that they valued Li Chengfeng's 100,000 taels of gold, and felt that the whole Shanxi scholars would never lose to him.
of.
Li Chengfeng immediately said, "In order to avoid saying that I cheat, then this time I will give the question to the Prince of Tian and the Great Confucian of Fang Yuan. After you discuss, you two asked three questions, using poetry, literature, the way of governing the country, and the people's livelihood.
The question is given, and the questions are given casually. The bachelors in our field will answer them, and then everyone will choose the best answer. If I lose, I will be willing to give you a disadvantage and will give you 100,000 taels of gold to provide disaster relief, but if you lose
It's... "
Speaking of this, Li Chengfeng deliberately paused and kept it a secret.
"We lose, so what?" Prince Tian felt Gordon in his heart, thinking that Li Chengfeng was going to arrest them and went to jail for beheading.
Li Chengfeng smiled slightly and said, "If you lose, then you will submit to me. You can just listen to my order in the future. What about?"
Prince Tian thought about it and then said, "No problem. If the Eighth Prince can really defeat our entire Shanxi scholars in terms of knowledge, then you must be a kind person in the world. Even if we surrender to you, what's wrong?
”
"That's right, I agree with the opinion of Prince Tian!" The great scholar Fang Yuan touched his beard and nodded slightly.
Immediately the two began to draw questions.
After discussing for a long time, the first question was: All the scribes present wrote a poem and a lyric with their pen, ink and paper, and after the selection, the best ones won.
The second question is to write a paper based on the way of governing the country, or the better ones win.
The same is true for the third question. Write a paper based on the way of people's livelihood, and the best will win.
Li Chengfeng had written these topics long ago in the palace. Whether it was Tang poetry, Song lyrics or the way of governing the country, Li Chengfeng was well deserved to be the best in the world.
Soon, the game began.
All Shanxi scholars held their pens at the table and thought hard about writing poems and lyrics. Some people may have been prepared for a long time, so they took out the poems they had written before and wrote them on.
Li Chengfeng picked up his pen and wrote.
To talk about the peak Tang and Song lyrics, we have to look at Li Bai's "About Wine" and Su Shi's "Immortal Rujiao: Nostalgia for the Red Cliff".
After about half an incense stick, Li Chengfeng raised his little hand high and said, "Prince Tian, ​​I have finished answering!"
"What? So fast?"
Prince Tian was shocked and stood up from his seat in surprise.
The great scholar Fang Yuan also frowned slightly, thinking that Li Chengfeng was despising this cultural competition. Who could hand in the paper in half an incense stick? Isn’t this not taking the entire Shanxi scholar seriously?
I don’t know, and I even thought that Li Chengfeng was handing in the blank paper.
Luo Binwang, who was also beside him, couldn't help but stop writing and look at Li Chengfeng in confusion, wondering what he was doing. Could it be that he had drawn up the poem in advance? But even so, can he win this game?
However, when Li Chengfeng presented his answer, Prince Tian and Fang Yuan were stunned.
At the beginning, Prince Tian was a little disdainful, but when he saw Li Chengfeng's powerful font, his eyes lit up, thinking that the font of the Eighth Prince is really beautiful, and looking at the entire historical literati font, it is also ranked as a name.
.
However, the moment when the prince saw the first line of the Psalm.
The mind of Prince Tian suddenly exploded like five thunders thunder.
"Don't you see, the water of the Yellow River comes from the sky, flows to the sea and never returns? Don't you see, the mirror in the high hall is sad and the white hair is as white as black hair, and the evening turns into snow..."
"How could this happen? How could this happen? How could there be such a magical poem in this world?"
After reading "The King of War", Prince Tian opened the next lyrics again.
Chapter completed!
