Chapter 354 Confusion (Double Monthly Pass)
Looking back now, the incident at that time is still vivid in my mind. Later, the story of Fu Xin being taken as a student by the prime minister of the dynasty was passed on to Yangzhou. Although the governor of Yangzhou was not a small official position, he was unwilling to offend the prime minister for this.
Not to mention that Fu Xin has a bright future, because a businessman has attracted the other party to hold grudges, he can call Li Chiqing and Zhao Chiqing again without Yang Chiqing...
So he gave up Yang Chiqing directly, found a reason to search for him and confiscated his house, and then sent him to Guizhou for three years.
However, he did not do anything at all. Otherwise, the Yang family would be over. After Yang Chiqing died, their family would have to send people to replace him. If he died, he would go there, and his descendants would be endless.
Back to the topic, Chen Nian brought desserts and two pots of newly made sour plum soup to Fu Xin's home that night.
Fu Xin set up a banquet full of banquets and welcomed them. Chen Nian couldn't refuse the invitation, so he sat down and ate while chatting with him.
Fu Xin prepared all the wine and dishes, and he specially invited the chef who made these dishes. After all, when he was in Yangzhou, he had been used to the delicious food made by aged food. When he came to the capital, he naturally had to find a good chef to come to the mansion to cook. With his identity, his quality of life would naturally improve. Even if he didn't take the initiative, some people would come here...
Now it is in Chang'an City, where all the elites of the Daxia Dynasty gather, so it is not difficult to find a good chef. In addition, this is a work for the Zhuangyuan Mansion, so many people are willing to come here.
After eating a few bites of the dishes, I found that the taste was pretty good, but after taking a sip of wine, I felt that the taste was really bland.
A little interesting expression appeared on his face, and Fu Xin saw Chen Nian's expression and asked, "What's wrong with Brother Chen? But the food is not tasty?"
Chen Nian shook his head: "Not that, it's mainly because the wine doesn't feel good enough."
He knew that the wine in this world made Chen Nian unsatisfied with him when he was in Yangzhou, but he was not very clear about what the wine that Chen Nian said was very delicious.
Because in his opinion, the wines at his family are actually very good. After all, after becoming the top scorer, many people will come to give gifts, and this wine is also a gift from someone.
You should know that today's wine can only be drunk when Aged Nian and Prince Jing come. Fu Xin will not even take it out when others come.
But in this way, I still couldn't satisfy Chen Nian.
"I really want to know what the wine that Brother Chen said tastes. Although I am not a person who loves alcohol, I am still very curious."
Chen Nian thought for a while: "I'll go back and study it, but I may not be able to do it. If I can't do it, I'll pretend that I didn't say it. If I can make it, I will definitely bring some good taste to Brother Fu."
"Okay, one word is certain."
Then they talked about how the food tasted today, and put forward some suggestions for improvement regarding the aging of several of the dishes. Fu Xin slowly wrote it down in his mind, intending to turn around and say to the chef at home.
Then they talked about what happened in Yangzhou. The two of them talked about the days when they climbed trees and peeked at each other every day. Although the wine was a bit unsatisfactory, they still drank a lot of Aged.
"Brother Chen, that period of time was actually the happiest period of my life. Although I spent most of my time reading and selling words, I could gain something when chatting with Brother Chen every day, even no less than what I gained in the book. Since I came to the capital, although I was wearing an official robe, I felt that I had lost a lot of freedom.
But even so, I have a clear conscience to be able to serve the country. I am the first to come and I am still in the learning stage of the affairs of the court, but I have been entrusted by Your Majesty and Teachers with important tasks, so I have been very troubled recently.
I thought I would take the initiative to invite Brother Chen to sit in a few days, but I didn’t expect Brother Chen to come to the door today.”
As Fu Xin said this, he only dared to say these words to Chen Nian. If he said something outside, no one would guarantee that others would turn around and complain after hearing it.
Fu Xin is now in his infancy and must not leave such a handle.
These things have nothing to do with Chen Nian's words. After all, Chen Nian used to say something ruthless, and they were the kind of serious crimes that were exiled after being caught.
But after he finished saying this, Xiao Mudan on the side gently touched Fu Xin with her elbow: "The master has Mr. Chen now, so he can say this, but it is inevitable that the others in the house will listen to it, and you must not say this when you go out in the future."
Little Mudan came up from the bottom of the country, so she naturally knew a lot about the worldly ways. In some ways, she knew much more than Fu Xin in terms of emotional intelligence and worldly ways.
Fu Xin naturally knew this, and just smiled and said to Xiao Mudan: "Madam, I know these words. I will only tell Brother Chen that although this capital is big, there are almost no one who can be honest with you. Fortunately, Brother Chen is here."
Chen Nian was also a little bored when he looked at Fu Xin. He knew that although the other party hadn't drunk much wine, he must be venting his energy now.
But although Chen Nian is good at communicating with others, he is not very experienced in comforting others.
When I was in school, my roommate had a fight with my girlfriend. Chen Nian had only one way to comfort them, which was: "I suggest you break up. It is better to have a short pain than a long pain, and it is better to have a whole life."
As a result, they finally got back together after the quarrel.
However, Chen Nian is better at solving the other party's problems in a targeted manner. If he understands, he will make some suggestions. As for whether to do it or not, it depends on the other party. If he doesn't understand, he won't say anything randomly.
For example, Fu Xin is now an official in the court, and he said before that he was valued by the emperor, so the things that would bother him must be about the court.
And it is likely that it is not a trivial matter.
So I can't take the initiative to ask about these old people, after all, I am just a civilian.
But Chen Nian didn't ask, but Fu Xin spoke first.
"Brother Chen, when will the poor children and ordinary people in this world have a way out?" Fu Xin poured himself a glass of wine and said.
Xiao Mudan looked at Chen Nian and Fu Xin again. She knew that this was not something she could hear, so she said softly: "Master, I'll go to the kitchen to see the food, you guys will chat first."
After saying that, he got up and left, and after walking out, he closed the door.
Chen Nian actually spoke directly when he heard Fu Xin, but just by saying a few words, he could not tell what kind of difficulties Fu Xin had encountered.
"Isn't there an imperial examination now? Brother Fu, aren't you a poor child from the exam?" Chen Nian asked.
Gu Sheng
"Brother Chen, I thought so before, but since I passed the exam, I realized that I was probably an outlier in the imperial examinations for so many years, and the more I talked about this, I have to thank Brother Chen for his teachings when he was in Yangzhou.
This made me turn back in the exam after entering Beijing, so that after entering the palace, my Majesty was directly named the top scholar. Otherwise, I would never have been able to stand out from those aristocratic families."
Chen Nian quickly captured the keywords he said: "Are you talking about aristocratic families?"
"Yes." Fu Xin nodded, "Now, the new emperor has ascended the throne, but when the late emperor was young, he fought all directions and calmed down the world, he relied on aristocratic families, but all the aristocratic families wanted was inheritance and interests. They had too many things that they could not get rid of now.
When I happened to be born in a poor family, Your Majesty wanted to lend me a chance to open up this situation. Otherwise, if more than ten years were spent, the aristocratic family would probably be able to undermine the imperial power at any time.”
Chen Nian now understood: "You mean that Your Majesty wants to suppress the aristocratic family now, but there is no suitable solution."
"That's right." Fu Xin nodded, "Brother Chen, I wonder what good idea you have?"
"Hiss~" Chen Nian took a breath. To be honest, he had a solution to this matter, because there were many references in history, but it is not very suitable to say it as his identity, so we should first see how Fu Xin's attitude is.
"Brother Fu, I have any good ideas. I am in my position and work. As you can see, I used to make tofu and sell tofu, but now I am making pastry. If you ask me how to make pastry, I can still answer you, but if you ask me about such a big deal, you will ask the wrong person."
Fu Xin sighed helplessly and looked at Chen Nian with a burning look: "Brother Chen, don't you know you? I don't know what others don't know? What is the problem for you in this world? If Brother Chen is worried that this will hinder your life if it spreads, I can guarantee that even if what you said to me, Brother Chen, will spread in the future, people will only know that it was what I, Fu Xin, said. Even if there is a huge disaster in the future, it will be my own responsibility. But if this matter is done, if Brother Chen wants to be famous throughout the ages, then I, Fu Xin, will never take this credit."
Fu Xin's words are already very clear, that is, as long as Chen Nian is willing to make suggestions, he will bear the consequences in the future, but if Chen Nian wants this honor in the future, he can push Chen Nian out at any time.
But Chen Nian was still thinking about gains and losses, and Fu Xin couldn't help but feel anxious when he saw this. He could have been completely sure that Chen Nian had ideas when he saw this, but due to some concerns, he didn't know whether he should say it out.
But this matter has indeed been at a loss for Fu Xin for a long time. He, Prince Jing, and Emperor Daxia have been thinking about this matter.
"Brother Chen." Fu Xin called out softly again.
Chen Nian then raised his head and looked at Fu Xin's face: "Oh, then that's the case. You have to promise me first. When the words I said to you today are all you have to think of when they are spread, or if it's someone else's, but they can't be said by me."
"No problem." Fu Xin quickly promised, and hope rekindled in his heart.
Because in his heart, Chen Nian is indeed a very special existence. Perhaps people all over the world will encounter some difficult problems, but Chen Nian will not.
Even if it is encountered at once, it is only a matter of time to solve it, and it will never be too long.
When he was in Yangzhou, he had seen many magical things from Chen Nian, including some tools sometimes made by Chen Nian, the "formula" that Chen Nian mentioned.
He couldn't even understand.
But every time I get old, I can easily calculate very difficult mathematical problems using his formulas.
Including some of the things they occasionally talk about when they go to bed at night, Fu Xin felt enlightened every time he listened.
After Chen Nian agreed to give him an idea, Fu Xin became energetic.
Then he picked up the pot and poured a cup of sour plum soup for Chen Nian, and another cup for himself. When he was talking about such serious things, he naturally could not drink. If he missed some in the middle, it would be easy to make a bad thing.
After it was done, Fu Xin drank a drink himself, and then the coldness was so cold that it was refreshing. The drunkenness brought by the action of alcohol was instantly held out.
It is sour and sweet, making people feel salivation.
"Brother Chen, please tell me."
Chen Nian nodded and then said only two words.
"Fu Ming."
"What?" Fu Xin hadn't reacted for a while, but after just a few breaths, he suddenly thought of those two words.
At this moment, he seemed to have been holding it in for a long time and finally came out!
The whole person couldn't help but feel clever and slapped his thighs!
"It's amazing!"
Seeing that the other party finally understood, Chen Nian continued to say: "This is the easiest and effective method. What Your Majesty wants is the same opportunity for those poor families to be relative to the children of aristocratic families, and they can only use this method."
As far as Chen Nian knows, this was what Wu Zetian used to deal with the aristocratic family.
"No matter how the poor children and civilians use them to obtain books and read books, but from the examination aspect, the examiner should now see the names of the candidates on the test paper, which is easy to commit favoritism and fraud.
But as long as you keep your name in a mess and don’t allow any marks, everyone will stand on the same starting line.”
But Fu Xin was questioning at this moment: "But in this case, those aristocratic families will definitely not agree. What if they jointly put pressure on them?"
Chen Nian shook his head and smiled: "Of course they won't agree. This is a matter that harms their interests, but even if they oppose it, they can only start from other aspects."
“Why?”
"What reason do they object? Because they can't let them commit fraud? They won't admit that they did that."
"Yes." Fu Xin also figured out this point, "Even if those aristocratic families have done such things before, they have no way to oppose this method openly. At this moment, whoever opposes it means that the rule has affected whose interests."
