Chapter 178： The Fourteenth

After playing around, Gu Yuanbai put down the crossbow and bow that had been destroyed by the group of people, took the veil that Tian Fusheng handed over, wiped his hand, and asked the imperial doctor: "How?"

"Little son's (body shen) body is healthy," the imperial doctor said one by one. "Now it is only skin (flesh) wounds, not the lungs, but there are some irregularities in the diet. Xu's stomach hurts. +++ The latest Tanmei novel ranking: www.novelhall.com"

Xu Ning's eyes widened in surprise, staring at her hand holding the clothes. This doctor is so good, he knew so much after only a few pulses.

Gu Yuanbai nodded lightly, then looked at Xu Ning with a smile, and said warmly: "How did you make this crossbow?"

"There are six out of thirty military weapons, and the bow is the first one; there are eight out of ten martial arts, and the bow is the first." However, the frontier nomads have high equestrian skills (strong qiang). In order to resist this group of people, bows and arrows have become the primary choice of infantry.

The founding emperor of the Da Heng Dynasty paid special attention to military affairs, and firmly controlled the drawings of crossbows and bows, especially modified crossbows and bows, on the military and political level. Military weapons were strictly prohibited from spreading among the people, and ordinary people could not see this light and powerful. The crossbow. Bow, let alone made it.

However, although the crossbow bow made by Xu Ning was broken, it can still be seen that it is not a single shooting hole. In other words, the crossbow bow made by this scholar has caught up with the level of weapons used by the military.

This is very powerful, very powerful.

Gu Yuanbai's eyes showed the meaning of appreciation, and Xu Ning stammered about where he got his inspiration from and how he made it. Speaking of the end, he clenched his fists excitedly and looked up at Gu Yuanbai and said, "Master! This is useful. Workmanship is of great use. Whether it is farming or military affairs, the existence of craftsmen is indispensable! This is not What shame is not doing business properly!"

Xu Ning saw the appreciation in Gu Yuanbai's eyes as soon as he looked up. He finished speaking with habit (sexual xing), but his expression became dull and dull.

Carriage, escort, doctor, attendant.

This young man is extraordinary, with an elegant appearance like a man in the sky, and he is dignified in every move. Such a big man is actually admiring him? Do you appreciate him as a poor talent as a carpenter?

"You're right," Gu Yuanbai nodded in agreement, and said, "Guan Zhongben, who proposed the'Shinong, Industry and Commerce' in the past, was born in a merchant. He prospered Qi as a businessman. The'Shinong, Industry and Commerce' did not appear in his speech The four moves are parallel. Scholars, farmers, craftsmen, and merchants, Guan Zhong believes that they are all stone people of the country, and each perform their duties to prosper the country. The prosperity of Yin business is inseparable from the prosperity of industry and commerce. But after the demise of Yin and Shang, Zhou believed that the way of industry and commerce would ruin agriculture and cause the country to subdue. Therefore, in the Zhou system, he despised industry and commerce. This is the reason why industry and commerce are the last."

Xu Ning opened her mouth and looked straight at Gu Yuanbai, her lips flicked a few times but she didn't know what to say.

Gu Yuanbai asked Tian Fusheng to return the damaged crossbow bow to Xu Ning's hands. Xu Ning took the crossbow bow in a helpless manner, glanced at the window, and asked cautiously: "My lord, you have to take Xiaosheng." where?"

Tian Fusheng rolled up the carriage curtains, Xu Ning subconsciously looked outside, and his eyes widened suddenly in the next moment.

The towering, majestic and majestic palace gate is right in front of you, and the tiles are gleaming in the sun, magnificent.

Gu Yuanbai didn't care about his look (color), and asked with a smile: "In addition to crossbows and bows, what else can you do?"

"I... Xiaosheng, kid..." Xu Ning was in a daze, at a loss what to say to herself, "In addition to being extremely interested in these things, Xiaosheng also tried to improve some farming tools."

He looked terribly flustered, too, can anyone enter the palace?

Every step of the horse's tapping sound can shake Xu Ning's soul out. When the carriage stopped, the white-faced scholar with a wounded face was already upset that no one could tell.

The imperial physician and the palace attendant led Xu Ning out of the carriage, and the guard on the outside stood straight. The chief guard stretched out his hand to lift the curtain of the car, and said, "Holy Master, slow down."

Xu Ning: "!"

He took a breath, his head buzzing, his head dizzy as if he was about to faint in the next moment.

Gu Yuanbai stretched out his hand from the carriage and placed it gently on the hand of the head guard. The chief guard lowered his head and carefully pulled Gu Yuanbai out of the car. The sage's (body shen) was in poor health, and those who were serving around the sage would always be overly careful about the sage, for fear that the sage would knock him off. He staggered, what happened to an accident.

Only holding the hand of the saint, the chief guard must be extremely careful. The saint’s skin is delicate and tender, but the palm of the guard is extremely rough, with a hard callus and rough touch. Every time he holds the saint’s hand, the guard feels like a stone.

Stepping on the ground, Xu Ning subconsciously glanced there, only to find that the bricks stepped on the ground had exquisite carvings. He finally recovered some ingenuity this time, and knelt on the ground with a plop.

The dragon boots appeared in front of him, and the saint said: "Follow me."

The side hall of the Xuanzheng Hall is usually the place where the emperor summons his courtiers to discuss political affairs. Gu Yuanbai gave Xu Ning a seat. Xu Ning tremblingly moved half of the (fart pi) to sit on a chair, and stepped on the ground under his feet, as if stepping on the clouds. on.

Gu Yuanbai talked with Xu Ning very gently. Xu Ning gradually recovered from the state of being nervous and unable to think. When he talked about his favorite carpenter, there was light in this person's eyes.

Xu Ning has many bold ideas in this era. What is even more rare is that Xu Ning's ideas can be realized in the contemporary environment and are closer to the development of Daheng's national conditions.

Gu Yuanbai promptly asked Tian Fusheng to find out the book about the craftsman in the Da Nei Library to Xu Ning, and finally arranged for Xu Ning to go to the engineering department in the outer suburbs of the capital.

This is a department personally set up by Gu Yuanbai and managed by the Supervision Office. The candidates are all skilled craftsmen who have been found and sought out by the Supervision Office who love this industry. Gu Yuanbai has said that as long as any of them can study abroad Good things, no matter what they are, are rewarded many times.

However, the final results are always painless, and the research expenditure of the Engineering Department is extremely huge. People from the Supervision Office have complained to Gu Yuanbai many times and feel that the Engineering Department is a useless existence.

But Gu Yuanbai insisted and gave full support to the Engineering Department. Now that Xu Ning is in front of him, it is really an unexpected joy. Gu Yuanbai believes that what the engineering department lacks is just a thought with aura, and now, the thought has arrived.

Xu Ning took over the book collection and appointment in a daze. He (touching Mo) read these books and listened to the words of encouragement from the sage, and his eyes blushed unconsciously.

These books were all banned by Daheng. Books, each dynasty and all generations of industry and commerce are the last. These despised books about craftsmen are more rare than the solitary books of Da Confucianism. Xu Ning's voice is unstable: "Holy Lord, the kid will not let You are disappointed!"

His eyes gradually became firmer.

The same sage said so much, the sage not only does not despise artisans, but also has a lot of understanding and ideas. The sage said such things as "improvement of Zhuge crossbow", "rope over cattle, shorten plough body", "columbine with a combination of sowing and fertilization", and some "textiles", "water wheels" and other things, which made Xu Ning again Surprised and felt quite reasonable.

He felt that his hands were very itchy now, and he was so excited that he even went to the engineering department mentioned by the sage to quickly complete the ideas of the sacred with those colleagues who are also familiar with the work of the craftsmen.

If you can do what you love, you can contribute to the world, and you can solve problems for the Holy Spirit. How could there be better things than this?

Xu Ning felt that the injuries all over his body no longer felt pain.

Gu Yuanbai was extremely happy to accept a talented scientific research talent, and this joy remained until the day of the palace examination.

Candidates enter the Golden Luang Temple at dawn, and the people in the Ministry of Rites are in charge of the entire hall examination process. When the process before the formal examination is finished, the sky outside is already bright.

The invigilation of the palace exam can be done by the emperor himself, or by the emperor to send officials to replace him. Naturally, Gu Yuanbai was invigorating the exam by himself, and the candidates sat down peacefully in their seats, bowing their heads without saying a word.

The atmosphere in the entire Golden Luang Temple was solemn and quiet, and there was still a bit of tension gradually permeating. All the examinees noticed that the man standing on the two roads was a tall guard (强qiang), while the saint was sitting on a high position, and no one dared to commit a taboo at this time.

The seats for the hall test were allocated according to the meeting, so the closest person to Gu Yuanbai was Huiyuan Chu Wei.

Gu Yuanbai looked around. There were many familiar people in the first and second rows. In addition to Chu Wei and Chang Yuyan, there were also Tang Mian, the son of the Shangshu Family of the Household Department. Tang Mian had not yet won the crown, but he was able to try. Hube Shangshu is quite proud of his seventh place in the high school entrance examination.

Gu Yuanbai also took a special look at Kong Yilin, who was ranked third. Kong Yilin's ancestral home is Qingzhou, Shandong, and Shandong is the hometown of Confucius. There is a lot of talents, and it is a place where scholars compete fiercely. In this test, Kong Yilin was the top one among Shandong students.

Kong Yilin was born extremely tall, such a big person shrank behind a small table, making people feel uncomfortable for him. This person was extremely silent, sitting quietly with his head down, unable to tell how he looked. He had a calm temperament like an old farmer who planted seedlings steadily. He had a low sense of existence and ordinary, but very stable.

From this look, Gu Yuanbai had a better impression of Kong Yilin.

At the beginning of the palace exam, the test paper is issued, with only one policy topic above it, and candidates need to write at least two thousand words. The palace exam will be admitted for one day, and it will end when the sun goes down in the evening.

Suddenly, there was only the sound of a pen across the paper in the hall. Gu Yuanbai sat for a while before he began to deal with government affairs.

The people sitting in the front heard the sound of the memorial being opened by the sage. Many people were conceiving the policy paper while listening to the movement above.

Chu Wei is the first name and attracts the most attention. He is so magnanimous that he can't look directly at Sheng Yan and treat him as his absence, so he concentrates on thinking about this policy.

He wants to get the champion from the sage.

After the candidates were all in the state, Gu Yuanbai put down the memorial and walked slowly among the candidates.

Someone glimpsed the dragon robe on his body as a flick of his wrist, and ink spots stained the draft; some people even kept shaking their legs and feet, and Gu Yuanbai could hear the rustling of his teeth.

Wherever he walks slowly, people are extremely nervous, and loses people on the spot. The good thing is that his back is stretched, and he is too stiff to write.

Shengshang's bright yellow (color) dragon robe gradually moved towards the front row, and Chang Yuyan glanced at the shadow behind, shaking his hand, and (强qiang) calmed down again.

His heart was pounding, and Chang Yuyan felt that the Holy Master had been by his side for a long time, but once he turned to God, the Holy Master had already walked to Kong Yilin, and finally stood still at Kong Yilin.

Gu Yuanbai looked down at Kong Yilin's draft, which was neatly written, like a formal paper (dry gan). At first, he just wanted to take a rough look, but gradually, his expression became serious.

When Kong Yilin's last stroke fell, Gu Yuanbai recovered. He took a deep look at Kong Yilin with his head down, and stopped walking among the students, but strode up the steps.

This move of the sage was seen by the people around, and many people secretly looked at Kong Yilin. Facing so many eyes, Kong Yilin continued to transcribe the answer without moving.

Chu Wei, who also glanced in the direction of Kong Yilin, faintly retracted his gaze, and continued to write with the ink on his pen.

When Chang Yuyan heard this, he unconsciously tightened his skin, and his face felt a little hot. "The Holy Supreme recruited me to go to the palace to accompany him, naturally to let me accompany me to appreciate the snow."

"Appreciating the snow?" Xue Yuan propped his hands on the couch, his arms were fierce, his muscles were stretched, and he sat up directly with his fingertips tapping his thighs, thinking, "I can see What are you doing?"

In Xue Yuan's eyes, this emperor didn't seem to be doing useless work. Even his mad dog dared to provoke him. It was enough to provoke him. At least as the little emperor said, he was handsome and talented. But strange, what does San Yuyan have?

A scholar, with a sour smell, what use can Chang Yuyan do?

But for such a useless scholar, the emperor invited him to reward the snow. Xue Yuan, a talent in the future, the emperor punished him with blood on his knees without blinking.

Chang Yuyan heard this sentence clearly, and he smiled without a smile, "Xue Yuan, what do you mean?"

Xue Yuan said slowly: "Can you have a fart?"

Chang Yuyan stared at people with anger, "I don't say it's famous, at least it's a small reputation. The number of people who came to congratulate me the day before Liguan even alarmed the government. And I have always been talented, waiting for the palace test. It's over, you wait for me to get a champion!"

After he finished speaking, he got up and left with angrily.

Xue Yuan (touching Mo) pressed his chin, and after Chang Yuyan could not see the shadow at all, he sneered, "The champion?"

What use does the little emperor want a fake scholar to do?

Xue Yuan left the bed with his legs and stood upright on the ground. He walked slowly to the window with his hands behind his back.

The white cloth on his knees oozes dots of blood, and the taste of such pain is very new to Xue Yuan.

Xue Yuan, who grew up in a barracks as a kid, knows that his fists are hard, and only the soldiers and horses (strong qiang) represent everything. The three generations of Zhongliang in the Xue family sounded good, but they all had a terrible reputation. He threw a bottle of wine and didn't want to smash the emperor. He only started after seeing him pass. He just wanted to see the emperor's attitude towards the Xue family.

Xue Yuan (touching Mo) pondered his chin, and remembered the face of the little emperor. Although the hair is not even, the one is more beautiful than the ladies.
