Because in their hearts, the king Lu Yu is not only mean and mean, but also rarely even smiles on his face, but this man can actually make his master laugh from the bottom of his heart, nothing else.
It can be said that this kind of ability to flatter and flatter people is at its peak, and it is far beyond what they can match.
Facing Lu Yu's laughter, Lin Fengjin said with a straight face:
"Your Majesty, you don't know. This rice is called Koshihiko Lotus Mist Rice. It is a special product that I plundered from the transport ships of the countries in the East China Sea. I tried all possible means and lost all my money to successfully plant it in our Daqi. The soup cooked with this rice,
What is it if it’s not rice soup?”
When Lu Yu heard about things related to the countries in the East China Sea, he immediately became concerned and said:
"Oh? There is such a thing?"
Lin Fengjin said:
"That's right, the priests and elites such as the Red Flags in the East China Sea countries have to eat such a meal cooked with Koshihikari Renwu rice every few days to replenish their vitality, because this rice grain also contains traces of...
The aura of heaven and earth is extremely beneficial to the human body. What has just been cooked is the juice in the Koshihiko Lotus Mist rice. Isn’t it just rice soup?"
Lu Yu nodded slightly, agreeing with Lin Fengjin's statement. He picked up the cup and took another sip, savoring it carefully. He felt that it was as sweet and delicious as juice, but it also had an indescribable richness like chicken soup.
The feeling made my throat and abdomen feel indescribably full. I couldn't help but nodded and said:
"Yes, yes, it is indeed very good. I have also read the medical scriptures. It said that rice soup, also known as rice oil, has the power to strengthen the hair orifices and make the fattest people. If the black and thin people eat it, they will become fat and white in a hundred days. It nourishes
The power of yin is better than cooked ground. Even babies from poor families can grow up by drinking rice soup. Your Yueguang Lianwu rice is the best among rice. The quality of the cooked rice soup is extraordinary.
."
When Lin Fengjin heard what Lu Yu said, he immediately smiled. However, life is always full of ups and downs, and surprises and disasters often come alternately. Lu Yu's next sentence with a smile immediately hit Lin Fengjin.
Eighteen levels of hell:
"It's rare that you are so thoughtful. From now on, this thing will be listed as a tribute. A thousand stones will be paid as tribute every month."
Lin Fengjin was stunned for a moment as if he had been struck by a bolt from the blue. He soon came back to his senses and said with a wry smile:
"Your Majesty, even if you kill my whole family, you won't be able to get so much as tribute. The benefit of this thing is that it can absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and infuse it into your own fruit. This means that it can only be used in
It grows under conditions where the mountains and rivers have abundant aura, and more importantly, planting this thing is extremely complicated. In terms of fertilization alone, it is divided into meat and vegetable fertilizer, vegetarian fertilizer, rotten fertilizer, fresh fertilizer, etc."
"And as early as hundreds of years ago, Yan Zi said: Oranges are oranges when they grow in Huainan, and they are oranges when they grow in northern Huaibei. The leaves are similar, but the actual taste is different. So what is the reason? The water and soil are different. This Yueguang lotus mist rice spans
After crossing the ocean, it is already good to be able to successfully grow in the Central Plains. Your Majesty... Even if you kill my whole family, you will not be able to pay a tribute of one thousand dan."
At this time, Lu Yu had already signaled the eunuch next to him to pour himself another pot of "rice soup" to drink. It seemed that this thing was indeed to Lu Yu's appetite. After a while, he smiled and said:
"Then how much tribute can you pay?"
Lin Fengjin said helplessly:
"This is mainly related to the aura of the planting area. As long as the aura is sufficient, the natural yield will be high. If the aura is insufficient, the yield will naturally be low."
Lu Yu laughed and cursed:
"I knew you were going to be up to no good when you came to the door. You went round the way to ask me for a place, right? Come on, let's be honest, I have my sights set on which imperial village. Let me tell you quickly, but the six villages outside Yedu are
You can't move because I have promised to leave."
Lin Fengjin didn't expect such an unexpected surprise. Surrounded by mountains and rivers, there is aura. Places with aura are either too many or too little. They are always named mountains and rivers. Originally, Lin Fengjin planned to spend the time.
It was redeemed at a large price, but with Lu Yu's words, naturally he didn't have to worry too much. He went directly to the local official with the decree and gave him more than ten thousand silver. How dare this official not do his best?
He immediately said happily:
"Then thank you very much. If I can have more than a hundred acres of land at the foot of Jianshan Mountain, I can pay ten stones to the palace every month."
Lu Yu frowned and said:
"So few?"
However, Lu Yu is also a sensible person. The thousand stones are just talk. The thing Lin Fengjin made must be very precious. If nothing else, it can be seen from his own Mr. Hong.
, you must know that at this time, the power of Northern Qi is used to support this demon horse, but this guy is still picky, but this Yueguang Lianwu rice can't even be said to be cooked rice.
It eats the outer pods that are peeled off with gusto. Just because my old friend likes to eat, I can't treat him badly."
Therefore, Lu Yu immediately said:
"I will enclose a thousand acres of farmland for you at the foot of Jianshan Mountain, and you will pay a tribute of eighty shi every month."
Lin Fengjin smiled bitterly and said:
"Your Majesty, this rice is good at absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, which is completely different from ordinary rice. Planting more than a hundred acres of this field will probably consume all the spiritual energy in a radius of hundreds of miles. It will take half a year to recover...
....”
Lu Yu felt a little impatient, waved his hand and said:
"I don't care so much. You must pay eighty stones to the palace every month. The quality is not allowed to drop, Liu Lu??"
At this time, most of the eunuchs' names were arranged in the order of fortune, wealth, longevity and happiness. Ever since Eunuch Cui committed the crime, his power has been divided among four people. Liu Lu is one of them. When he hears the master's call
, hurriedly ran up and said:
"The slave is here."
Lu Yu thought for a while and took out a small seal from his waist. It was the one he used in the imperial study room. It said "Lord of the Four Dimensions" on it, and then threw it to Liu Ludao:
"I like the Yueguang Lotus Mist rice brought by Lin Fengjin very much, but it is extremely difficult to plant. You need to find fields everywhere. When you go to court, you can hold my private seal and go with Lin Fengjin.
Go to Gong Shi, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and tell him that it is my wish to have him handle this matter, and then come back and reply to me. Do you understand?"
Liu Lu immediately knelt down and said:
"My slave knows."
At this time, I heard a very pleasant ding-dong sound coming from the stove, like spring water trickling down, and like a small stick tapping gently on the bowl. Everyone was a little curious. Lu Yu said
Look, the skin of the Koshihikari lotus rice in the gauze automatically cracked and made a soft sound, just like an egg shell.
As soon as Lin Fengjin heard this voice, he said:
"The heat is here."
He used tongs to take out the rice one by one, and then wrapped it in bamboo leaves. He wiped off the shell crumbs with a gentle wipe, revealing the tender and green rice meat inside. He sliced it with the silver knife next to it.
It just feels so tender that it melts in your mouth. But it has the texture of rice. After eating it, the smell that comes out is particularly fragrant.
Lu Yu ate a few slices and praised:
"The ancients said: Eating makes you forget your worries. I originally thought that eating was such an exaggeration. Only today did I realize that this is true."
Seeing Lu Yu eating happily, Lin Fengjin looked around and gritted his teeth and said:
"Your Majesty...Actually, this time I came to the palace not for farm matters. I didn't dare to bother Your Majesty with such trivial matters."
After Lu Yu heard this, he immediately laughed and said:
"I know that you are a guy who doesn't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything. Just tell me. For the sake of the Feng Yu Hou's happiness today, I will consider you to have passed the test."
Lin Fengjin looked around with a very embarrassed expression. Lu Yu naturally waved his hand and told the others to move back three feet. Then Lin Fengjin muttered for a long time before speaking:
"Well...it seems like the provincial examination will be held in a few days."
Lu Yu nodded and said:
"good."
At this time, his face began to look ugly:
"Could it be that you don't like the Enke I organized so much? Are you going to push back and forth again this time?"
Lin Fengjin smiled bitterly and sighed:
"Of course I am not such a ungrateful person, but...there have been many things going on in the past two years, Your Majesty. I, I am afraid that the article I am writing now will not be able to catch the eye of the examiner.
"
After Lu Yu listened to Lin Fengjin's words, his expression changed again and again. Finally he couldn't stop laughing and laughed, and said with a smile:
"No wonder you want me to retreat. It turns out that it's such a thing, isn't it? You, a high-ranking disciple of Donglin Academy, actually have times when you are not sure about the provincial examination?"
Lin Fengjin said with a bitter face:
"If I can give you half a year of hard work, then there's still some success, but those damn Donghai people didn't come by luck."
After hearing Lin Fengjin say "those damn Donghai people", Lu Yu's face also darkened and he said:
"I originally thought it was just scabies and leprosy, but looking at the way these guys are plundering in the south of the Yangtze River, they may become a serious problem! Speaking of which, you have contributed to this matter, if you hadn't been warning and reminding me, and taking it out
According to the frontline intelligence, our losses in Daqi are probably many times what they are now."
Lin Fengjin said:
"The countries in the East China Sea cannot be underestimated, otherwise they will suffer big losses. The reason is that the other side has the overwhelming advantage of water ships. There are many large ships in their army. The most in the Central Plains are five-masted ships.
, and there are many six-masted and seven-masted ships in the Eastern Navy, each ship can transport thousands of people and horses. If the wind and water are favorable, it can sail hundreds of miles in a day and night, land and plunder."
"And the soldiers and horses on the ship can also rest during the transportation. Unlike the cavalry who are tired and tired after running for hundreds of miles, they can be put into use as soon as they get off the ship, so it is a big problem!"
Lu Yu nodded slightly and said:
"From what you say, if we want to control these Donghai people, we must first contain their navy."
Lin Fengjin said seriously:
"Yes, but the countries in the East China Sea are all composed of large and small islands. They are really good at building ships. It is very difficult to surpass them in a short time. However, according to my experience, the other countries also have three general
The factors that lead to defeat, if your Majesty has the intention..."
Lu Yu sat up straight, already in the mode of answering questions between emperor and minister, and waved his hand:
"Just tell me."
Lin Fengjin said:
"The military system of the East China Sea countries is still a drafting system, so most of their sergeants are farmers who have just picked up swords and guns. Their combat effectiveness is much weaker than our army, which has a combat strength of 100,000 people.
, at most it can only be equal to the strength of our Central Plains army of 60,000 people, and this is one of them, let alone cavalry. I believe that once your snake-swallowing ability comes out, it will be easy for a whale to swallow a hundred thousand people."
After Lu Yu heard this, his eyes lit up and he nodded slightly.
Lin Fengjin continued:
"The countries in the East China Sea are thousands of miles away from home. It is very difficult to transport heavy troops and heavy troops. Therefore, there must be respite transfer points on the islands or coasts around the Central Plains. If we target this point,
Then it will work wonders."
After Lu Yu heard this, he also agreed:
"Finally, the countries in the East China Sea came with a coalition. There will inevitably be conflicts of interest and intrigues among the countries. If we are united as one, there will definitely be many loopholes in the command. This is the time for the countries in the East China Sea to attack arrogantly.
, this disadvantage is not yet visible, but once the pressure increases and a stalemate situation appears, this will be a very fatal factor in defeat."
Lu Yu was also a leader. After hearing Lin Fengjin's analysis, he immediately nodded in agreement. In the army, it can be said that only one voice is allowed! There are many enemy factions and they are so complicated, as if there are natural gaps in the dam. As long as
If you catch this at the critical moment, it will be fatal.
When Lin Fengjin faced Lu Yu at this time, he only talked about the current situation. He never mentioned specific measures to deal with it, because these things are not what Lin Fengjin should worry about. They are matters for the Ministry of War and the Privy Council. Lin Fengjin will talk about it here.
If so, it would be suspected of being nosy.
Lu Yu pondered for a while and said:
"This information of yours is quite useful. Please write a note and upload it. As for this provincial examination, I will say hello to you."
Lin Fengjin said with a bitter face:
"Your Majesty, Wei Chen still has a bit of a reputation. Even after the exam is over, Wei Chen's papers will most likely be copied and pointed at by countless people. After saying hello,
I was originally not sure that I would pass the exam, but the examiner forced me to promote him. Wouldn’t it be self-defeating? It would also be detrimental to the country’s reputation.”
Lu Yu thought about it again and realized that what Lin Fengjin said was somewhat reasonable. He felt very embarrassed and frowned:
"Then what do you want from me?"
Lin Fengjin glanced at Lu Yu, and finally said shamelessly:
"How about your Majesty setting down the test questions now?"
Lu Yu was stunned for a moment and immediately said angrily:
"Are you asking me to collude with you to commit fraud?"
Lin Fengjin said seriously:
"How could it be? I just heard your Majesty talking to himself occasionally."
Lu Yu said helplessly:
"Only you can think of this kind of self-deception! If the historian knows about this, I will be written down as an eternal joke!"
Lin Fengjin said shamelessly:
"Isn't it because the historian is not here?"
Lu Yu covered his face. Since he came to the throne, he has become more and more powerful and has a sinister mind. When the ministers see his expression, they will even become silent and very frightened. They know that this king is not easy to serve. If the other ministers see him, they will actually
Being pressed hard by Lin Fengjin step by step, and making him so embarrassed, he would definitely be shocked.
After a long time, Lu Yu smiled bitterly and said:
"According to common sense, I would leave such important matters as formulating topics and treatises to the imperial scholars."
Lin Fengjin thought that he still had to wait while the iron was hot. If he didn't implement this matter now, he would only have two or three days to prepare for the exam. During this period, he would also have to find a gun maker... You old man would just make a rash of words.
You have done something good, but you don’t know how to be considerate of us?
Not to mention the disrespectful thoughts running in Lin Fengjin's mind, he still kept persuading him. Lu Yu kept shaking his head, refusing to give in no matter what, Lin Fengjin suddenly flashed in his mind.
The thought came to mind, this gentleman has a promising future since he was a child, so he may not have read any books? Could it be that he is not unwilling to agree to me, but simply does not know what the question is?
When he thought of this, Lin Fengjin tentatively said:
"There are bandits invading the border this year, why not use this as an example for this year's first four-book question?"
Sure enough, Lu Yu said with some relief:
"Huh?"
Lin Fengjin was suddenly determined, and in an instant, he took over all the questions on his behalf. The first test was on the "Four Books", the second was on the "Five Classics", and the third was on the Five Strategies.
.Not long after, he brought them out one by one. Lu Yu probably felt aggrieved and helpless in his heart when he had to deal with such a courtier.
"Your Majesty, please remember these topics, and be sure not to remember them incorrectly! The reputation accumulated over the past hundreds of years by the ministers, oh, and Donglin Academy is all entrusted to Your Majesty!" Lin
Feng Jin warned with sincerity and sincerity, and then said: "In this case, I will retire."
After finishing the business, Lin Fengjin just hummed a little tune and left with satisfaction. This time he came like a white wolf with nothing. Not only did he get all the test questions, but the most outrageous thing was that the question was still his own.
In addition, the place for planting Yueguang Lianwu rice was also secured, and hundreds of acres of land distributed in famous mountains and rivers throughout the Northern Qi Dynasty were obtained for free. It can be said that I returned home with a full load.
After Lin Fengjin left, Lu Yu felt that something was wrong the more he thought about it, but who could he talk to about this grievance? Could it be that Lin Fengjin came to chop him with a knife? So that night he kicked the five eunuchs and fought in anger.
The third concubine has finally eliminated most of the burning feeling.
The provincial examination finally arrived,
On that day, Lin Fengjin really became the center of attention. When he entered the venue, he attracted a large number of people to watch.
Even after entering the venue, the invigilator would wander in front of him whenever he had something to do. He always liked to take a second look. In the end, he secretly exclaimed that Lin Xiucai was indeed one of the most talented people in Donglin Academy.
He is a talented student who can be said to have a spring of ideas, write a thousand words, and finish other moves in one stroke while he is still planning. This talent can be said to be comparable to that of Cao Zhi, who wrote seven-step poems.
Already.
Some officials who saw what Lin Fengjin wrote said privately that Lin Fengjin was not only a talented scholar, but the content was also colorful and colorful, and there was no fault at all, and the Five Strategies were even more so.
To promote current affairs, the writing is profound and simple, and it is inspiring.
Of course, when some people say good things, others come out to spew venom. Some officials are saying sourly that this Lin Xiucai has long been a figure in the emperor's heart. To the rest of the people, this provincial examination is like a thousand troops.
The single-plank bridge was very difficult, and he was as cautious as walking on thin ice, but for him, it was a trivial matter that he didn't take seriously at all. When it comes to the future palace examination, I'm afraid this advantage will be even greater. If he can have such an opportunity, he may be better than him.
Still calm.
In short, no matter what others think, Lin Fengjin passed the provincial examination at an astonishing speed.
Among the five countries today, Zhongtang and Nanzheng are not allowed to submit papers in advance, but Northern Qi, Dongxia, and Xirong allow this. Of course, usually no one will do such a thing, because if it is done, it will inevitably be in the mind of the examiner.
In this way, even though the names and papers will be uniformly judged in the end, there will always be some obstacles in spreading the word.
Lin Fengjin's provincial examination this time was simply overwhelming. It only took a mere hour and a half to hand in the paper and appear. This kind of non-mainstream behavior would probably be a fool if others did it. However, it was led by the famous Lin Fengyu.
Once it was done, it immediately became famous in Yedu, so Lin Fengjin's ranking will inevitably attract more attention.
On the last list posted, Lin Fengjin's position was thirteenth. This ranking is already quite good for ordinary scholars, but for Lin Fengjin, who is destined to attract a lot of topics and attention,
However, it triggered the current wave of discussion, and in the end, the meddlesome censor actually brought it up to the court to talk about it.
Because of this, the Ministry of Rites had no choice but to make an exception and posted Lin Fengjin's paper (originally only the top ten in the provincial examination were posted), along with comments from the examiner Feng Jinzhong. As a result,
The controversy is even greater.
Because the ideas shown in Lin Fengjin's paper are very controversial and can be said to be more extreme. People who agree with his views can be said to be in admiration and want to cheer for him. Those who do not agree with him can be said to be in admiration.
As for people, they want to criticize his views verbally and in writing, and they can't wait to start a verbal battle with them right away. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novels are better and updated faster!
