"Ha ha ha ha!"
"Young Master Tang is so disrespectful to the county magistrate!"
"Hmph, is it possible that Mr. Tang is not right? Today, farmers can apply for the election. Wouldn't it be an insult to scholars like me?"
The whole audience burst into laughter, quite unscrupulously.
At this time, Chen Kui on the stage also sneered and drank tea leisurely. All of today's events were naturally arranged by him. The purpose was to slap the face of the county magistrate and make the newly established county magistrate. All prestige is lost!
Open for election?
Ah!
To put it lightly, with Liu Dahao's half-hearted literary talent, what can you choose?
The other families also looked at the joke. Although they didn't laugh wantonly, they were holding back their laughter.
Liu Dahao, naturally, was so angry that Tang Shiwei turned red.
"what can you do?"
At this moment, Liu Zheng smiled coldly and looked at Tang Shiwei.
Tang Shiwei looked back, and when he saw it was Liu Zheng, he couldn't help but have a strong look of ridicule in his eyes. How dare a playboy dare to fight with him?
He then shook his head and said in an arrogant manner: "It turns out to be Mr. Liu, why don't you propose a question for Mr. Liu? I, Tang Shiwei, can capture all kinds of romantic and romantic orders!"
The whole crowd applauded.
Tang Shiwei's literary talent is indeed outstanding.
Liu Zheng smiled coldly: "Really?"
Is this another short-sighted person who wants to compete with me in poetry?
He looked at Tang Shiwei and smiled: "Master Tang, may I ask which position you are applying for?"
Tang Shiwei looked arrogant and snorted coldly: "Of course he is a long history!"
Liu Zheng laughed and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Tang is not qualified yet."
"you……"
Tang Shiwei immediately said angrily: "Young Master Liu has insulted me too much! The notice says that the county magistrate wants to recruit all the talented people from all over the world to jointly manage Yinzhou! Are you jealous of my talent and my lack of tolerance?"
Everyone nodded in agreement.
"Deceive the world and steal fame!"
"Specious!"
Liu Zheng smiled and said: "Well, let's write a poem first!"
When Tang Shiwei heard about the poem, he looked full of confidence. He opened his folding fan and sang: "I, Tang Shiwei, have traveled to famous mountains and rivers since childhood, but I was ridiculed by the county prince. How sad!"
Everyone yelled in unison, feeling quite unhappy.
Liu Zheng also looked on with a smile.
"If life is not satisfactory in this world, it will ruin the boat in the Ming Dynasty.
If you want to cross the Yellow River and the river is blocked by ice, you will climb the snow-covered mountains of Taihang! "
Tang Shiwei shook his head and groaned.
When everyone heard this, they all cheered.
This poem is about a man who is full of knowledge, but he is depressed and even ridiculed by others. He might as well continue his great career of traveling around mountains and rivers. In short, it is because others do not know the goods, but it does not mean that he is not a talent.
Literati are often frivolous, and literati are often narcissistic.
A poem immediately aroused resonance and grief and indignation in the audience. Many people raised their glasses and shouted, and the scene became a mess.
"Master Liu, how are you?"
Tang Shiwei laughed.
Everyone shouted "How"?
At this time, those on the stage also nodded and praised Tang Shiwei's outstanding literary talent. Even Zheng Yueru looked at Liu Zheng worriedly, wondering if he could handle it?
"Depressed?"
Liu Zheng sneered, picked up the wine glass on the table, had a drink with Tang Shiwei from afar, drank it all, and stood up quickly, with a dazzling light flashing in his eyes.
“I don’t see you, the water of the Yellow River comes up from the sky and rushes to the sea never to return.
Don't you see, the bright mirror in the high hall has sad white hair, and it looks like blue silk in the morning and turns to snow in the evening.
If you are proud of life, you must have all the joy, and don't let the golden bottle stand empty against the moon.
It is my destiny that my talents will be useful, and I will come back after all my money has been spent! "
The whole audience was shocked.
Tang Shiwei's expression changed even more.
what do you mean? I just felt depressed and frustrated, and you came here to prove that my talents will be useful?
Zheng Yueru's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she couldn't help but stand up.
This is a typical on-the-spot slap in the face, not remembering the overnight grudge. And it’s a precise slap in the face!
Liu Zheng laughed and continued chanting:
"If you enjoy cooking sheep and slaughtering cattle, you will have to drink three hundred cups at a time.
Mr. Cen, Dan Qiusheng, is about to drink, but don’t stop.
A song with you, please listen to me.
Bells, drums, delicacies and jade are not expensive, but I hope I will stay drunk and not wake up.
In ancient times, all the sages were lonely, but only the drinkers left their names.
In the old days, King Chen had a banquet and a lot of fun and banquets.
What does the master mean if he has less money? It is up to you to sell it.
Five-flowered horse, golden fur,
Hu'er will be exchanged for fine wine, and we will sell the eternal sorrow with you. "
"Will enter the wine"! Another Li Bai classic, this poem is very deep in thought and very mature in artistic expression. It is full of drinking. It seems to be high-spirited and optimistic, but in fact it is full of the author's resentment and lament that his talent was not appreciated. But the world is like this, and no one can change it.
However, the author is optimistic and understanding.
He believed that even if he could not become an official, at least he would still have wine and poetry!
The whole poem is full of philosophy of life, especially the open-mindedness, which makes people think deeply. Only with such a state of mind can one be worthy of being called a talent!
In comparison, Tang Shiwei seemed too stingy as he always showed off his crazy behavior.
The whole place fell silent for an instant.
Liu Dahao laughed loudly. He knew his son's abilities, so naturally he didn't have many surprises.
But what about everyone else?
Zheng Yueru knew the legend of Liu Zheng, but she was shocked by his poem on the spot! This poem can be called an eternal masterpiece!
Shen Xing also had a dull look on his face. After taking a few deep breaths, he shouted: "Young Master is a great talent!"
"Great talent!"
"What a poem!"
"What a wonderful poem through the ages!"
Which of these literati at the scene is ignorant? After a brief shock, they all stood up and bowed deeply towards Liu Zheng with admiration and apology.
"This, this, this, you..."
Tang Shiwei's expression changed instantly and he was deeply shocked.
Liu Zheng sneered: "Jealous of your literary talent?"
"just you?"
"Come to be a long history?"
"A long history officer in charge of the civil servants of a county requires not only wealth, but also understanding of public opinion! Okay, let me ask you, how much food can I have for my family of five in Yinzhou in a year?"
"How much income does the family have without having to go out to beg?"
"How many wild vegetables in the mountains do you know that can be used as food rations?"
“How to increase farmers’ income?”
How did Tang Shiwei know this? He was sweating profusely when asked by Liu Zheng, and took a few steps back with a look of panic on his face.
Liu Zheng brushed his sleeves and snorted: "You claim to have traveled to famous mountains and rivers all over the world, but have you ever thought about which crops can be brought to Yinzhou for trial planting, and which medicinal materials can bring stability to the people?"
"good!"
"Good question, Master!"
"Young Master has such a heart, it's us who have acted rudely!"
Many literati who had been laughing at Liu Zheng just now stood up.
At this time, Tang Shiwei was feeling frustrated, sweating profusely, and turned away in shame. How could he have the nerve to stay in this situation?
"waste!"
Chen Kui, who was on the stage, couldn't help but cursed when he saw this. Tang Shiwei took a lot of money from the Chen family every year. He originally thought that he could slap the Liu family and his son in the face, but he didn't expect that he would hide his face and leave. .
but……
What can be done about this?
He looked at Liu Zheng coldly.
This Young Master of the Liu family is indeed a bit unusual.
Tang Shiwei's defeat sounded the alarm for people. The next selection scene will be much more stable. But Liu Zheng's method of selecting people is still confusing.
After Tang Shiwei left, a guy known as Yinzhou's second talented man also stepped forward.
As soon as he opened his mouth to read the love poem, Liu Zheng kicked him out.
Everyone exploded. Could it be that the young master of the Liu family doesn't like writing poems so much? But in this era, this is literary talent!
Then, there was another old man who was dressed in rags and smelled sour. This old man actually knew the Four Books and Five Classics, and had a master's degree in Zhongyong.
But Liu Zheng asked a few more pointed questions, and the man became stupid.
Study to death!
Liu Zheng shook his head. What is the use of memorizing ancient texts? What he needs is someone who is truly knowledgeable.
Throughout the whole morning, Liu Zheng didn't choose anyone.
This made many people sit still.
The good impression many people had on Liu Zheng immediately disappeared.
"Mr. Liu, are you kidding me?"
"That is, what kind of talent do you want?"
"Do we really want farmers who know medicinal crops to become officials in the county magistrate's office?"
The crowd burst into laughter as this pair of eyes looked at someone in the crowd jokingly.
This man is very out of place among these literati. He was dressed like a farmer and wore a white headscarf. His skin was dark and his hands were calloused.
Being looked at like this, the man's face immediately turned red: "I, I'm just here to join in the fun!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
"A guy with muddy legs, does he also want to be an official?"
"Watching a crown after bathing in monkeys will make you laugh generously!"
Liu Zheng looked at him with interest and chuckled, "What's your name?"
The farmer, a big man, said: "Sir, my name is Liang Erfu, and I am a farmer. I, I know the problems you just mentioned!"
"oh?"
Liu Zheng's eyes lit up and he encouraged him to continue speaking.
He seems to have an inexplicable fondness for this kind of stocky man. Maybe it's because he is an engineering man and he really can't stand the formal look of those literati. All his men must be men!
Liang Erfu rubbed his neck and said loudly: "The rice crops in Mian and Luo Valley can be harvested from 30 to 15 shi per mu!"
"One acre of land is strong and half weak. Floods and droughts occur from time to time. Even if the land cannot use up its power, it will not produce even a stone of millet every year."
"A rare fertile land in Yinzhou, Zhongtian..."
"Shimoda..."
"For a family of five, two taels of silver can fill our stomachs!"
"Yinzhou has many wild vegetables, but it needs..."
Liang Erfu's voice was the only voice left in the entire county lord's mansion. Everyone else was dumbfounded. Aren't those who farm the land just farmers? Aren't they just mud-legged people?
Where did all this knowledge come from?
Liu Zheng was already excited. He stood up and asked, "Liang Erfu, can you read?"
Liang Erfu said: "Back to the young master, I went to private school for a few years..."
"good!"
Liu Zheng laughed loudly and patted his thigh: "Liang Erfu, officially elected as the counselor of the County Marquis's Ministry of Agriculture!"
There was an uproar in the whole place.
A man with muddy legs can actually break into a house?
How is this appropriate?
Liang Erfu was also stunned on the spot.
He just came here to join in the fun, now he is an official?
