After the Japanese envoys left, the entire court came to a standstill. The rebellion in Liang Chuan had been deliberately suppressed, and later it became silent. Everything seemed to be calm again.
At the end of October, the first snow fell in the sky. The falling snowflakes made this group of Khitan people and the three sworn brothers who were born and raised in the south really excited.
With the cooperation of tens of thousands of migrant workers, the process of building eight palaces has entered a critical period of final victory.
Many people invited by Liang Chuan's people from the south also came to Bianjing at this time. The first one is Meng Liangchen, the teacher Zhao Zongshi hired as his top priority.
Meng Liangchen heard in Fengshan that Liang Chuan needed him in Bianjing, so he packed his parcel and said goodbye to his old mother and children without asking the reason, and then set off for Bianjing.
The children were reluctant to let him go. In order not to delay the children's studies, he and Yi Niang invited another gentleman on the spot. He was considered to be a wealthy man. The school field at home was now more than enough to support the children and the husband, so he came to Bianjing with peace of mind. .
Ye Xiaochai has a better candidate, Wen Boyan, a student from Qingyuan Academy. Although Wen Boyan is still a student himself, his economic skills are no worse than Meng Liangchen's, and he will definitely accomplish something in the future.
If he could come to Tsinghua University to be a teacher for children, these children would definitely make greater progress!
Wen Boyan himself was very thoughtful. He came to Xinghua early and asked Duan Peng to be his teacher in Xinghua. His purpose was not to be a teacher, he just wanted to be closer to Ye Xiaochai.
People are so strange. They are obviously not destined to live in the same world, but they have to break through the worldly barriers and come together. This is not an ordinary difficulty!
Even Meng Liangchen's package was a little thin. Although he came to Bianjing with a large army, he was still very tired. It was a snowy day and his hands and feet were a little red from the cold. He stood in front of Zhuangzi in Liangchuan, his body covered with snow.
In a few years, two people will make snow in front of the door.
Liang Chuan quickly invited Meng Liangchen into the house, where charcoal was burning and a pot of rice wine was boiling. A plump leg of lamb was roasting on the charcoal fire.
He only took Liang Chuan's wine pot, held it in his hands and rubbed it. The warm body of the pot transmitted the warmth of the charcoal fire, slowly raising the temperature of the cold water. He didn't like wine, so he just served it again. He didn't drink even a drop of the good wine.
"Why should I be this child's teacher?"
This question may seem redundant.
He walked thousands of miles and only asked this question when he arrived in Bianjing. Isn't the answer obvious? He had already confirmed Liang Chuan's intention. No matter what kind of talent this child was, he would teach him carefully.
If he wanted to hesitate, he would not have walked thousands of miles to ask such a question.
Of course Liang Chuan has his own plans, and they must not be based on his whim. Based on his understanding of Liang Chuan, there must be something special about this child!
Meng Liangchen has been hiding this question in his heart for a long time. He believes that if he were an ordinary person, Liang Chuan would never ask him to teach him. Just replace him with an ordinary gentleman. Where is this child's secret?
There was no one else in the house.
Liang Chuan cut a piece of meat and handed it to Meng Liangchen, and said: "Have you ever heard of the Great Celestial Master from Longhu Mountain in Jiangxi Province? We also have one in Zhuangzi, but he is just a small Celestial Master. He can be regarded as having achieved half of the Taoism. He can't do it." The young man did some calculations, and his calculations were almost the same. Even the Chunwei test taker from Jinke came to see him. Although the exam hadn't started yet, he also made a rough calculation. I saw that he had some skills, so I asked him to do this. The kid did a fortune telling, and guess what, he gave the kid the highest praise."
Meng Liangchen took the meat and started chewing it.
This is boring!
Liang Chuan sprinkled some pepper and some chili powder on the meat, which made the barbecue taste great.
After the cold weather, Meng Liangchen chewed a few mouthfuls of mutton, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
I thought Liang Chuan had some careful plan, but unexpectedly he listened to a fortune teller. .
Meng Liangchen was a little disappointed. .
Or eat meat and drink wine to relieve fatigue!
Unexpectedly, Liang Chuan looked excited and continued with a hint of excitement: "The little heavenly master said that this child has a real dragon and emperor aura..."
Just after saying these few words, Liang Chuan's eyes shone brightly, and he looked at Meng Liangchen flickeringly, wondering if he would believe his words.
Meng Liangchen took a sip of wine, and he didn't know whether it was because of the slight intoxication from the alcohol or the warmth of the wine to drive away the chill. Meng Liangchen only felt that he was a little more awake. There wasn't even a trace of emotion on his face. After tearing the flesh off his hands, he looked again. Liang Chuan asked for a piece.
I have never tasted this hot and spicy fragrance before, it is a little exciting and a little charming.
Not long after, three times five divided by two, another piece of meat was eaten.
Is Liang Chuan crazy? Or are you drunk?
Liang Chuan was a little surprised to see how he was eating it. Is this meat more tempting than the news that Zhao Zongshi will become emperor in the future?
So boring!
Liang Chuan advised Meng Liangchen: "Just eating meat is not enough. You won't be able to relieve yourself the next day. Even if you can relieve the valley, you will feel very uncomfortable. Come on, drink more rice wine and eat some vegetables later. It's cold today." It’s not easy to get green vegetables during the freezing season. They are all brought by mules from the south, and they are very expensive.”
Meng Liangchen said nothing, let alone showed anger or confusion.
"What, do you believe what I said or not?"
Meng Liangchen said: "You won't joke about this kind of thing, and that Heavenly Master wouldn't even dare to. There must be some signs that lead you to draw such a conclusion. No matter what, there is always some basis that I can't see. You were afraid that you couldn't convince me, so you used the metaphysics of luck to comfort me, I must be right."
Meng Liangchen's words made Liang Chuan look at him sideways. It had been a long time since he saw him, and this nerd, Leng Touqing, had actually grown to this point!
His analysis was quite accurate, and he even understood Liang Chuan's psychology quite accurately!
This is an excellent teacher. I made a mistake by placing him in Fengshan. Now he no longer only looks at things on the surface, but analyzes the essence of things deeply. He is no longer the radical and dull scholar.
"I believe what you say, because I see your pragmatism. You are a person who can't afford to do anything early, so I will help you."
Liang Chuan's face turned slightly red and he was chewing meat: "Are you scolding me or not? Hahaha!"
Liang Chuan bought Meng Liangchen a small house in Shuanglong Lane, not far from Zhao Zongshi's home.
The emperor of Bianjing has a lot of money at his feet, but Liang Chuan now has a lot of money on hand, and with Sun Houpu, a rich man by his side, he has enough money to start a real estate development, let alone buy a house.
Children's psychology is very strange. They will often evaluate the teacher's appearance, clothing and family background first, and then consider the teacher's knowledge and level.
If the teacher is poor and destitute, then the child's first impression will be the teacher. Why am I studying? Are you as poor as your teacher? This kind of education is difficult to convince in the minds of children.
Especially a disciple of the Tian family like Zhao Zongshi.
Not only should he know that this teacher is not an ordinary person, but also let him know that this teacher's conditions are not bad and cannot be hired by ordinary children. Can ordinary people live in Shuanglong Lane?
Meng Liangchen's ancestor was also a high-ranking official, and he had an unworldly aura about him. Although Liang Chuan asked about their ancestors many times, Meng Liangchen refused to reveal a word.
However, under Liang Chuan's careful packaging, Meng Liangchen relied on his excellent temperament and rich knowledge to impress the Zhao family and his son as soon as they met.
Zhao Yunrang asked Zhao Zongshi to kneel down and acknowledge the teacher at the first sight, and then entrusted the child to Meng Liangchen with full authority. Because Meng Liangchen's house was close to the Zhao family's house, he didn't ask any questions even if he had to shout about something. He invited Liang Chuan into his home, cooked the tea brought by Sun Houpu, and took Liang Chuan to say a lot of thanks.
In this way, the most avant-garde, bold, visionary and forward-looking investment in history was achieved.
If Meng Liangchen knew that the children he taught would become kings in the future, I wonder what he would think in retrospect.
The weather in Bianjing at this time was already quite uncomfortable, and Zhao Yunrang's home was even more deserted, without even a brazier for heating.
As soon as winter comes in Bianjing, the prices of two things skyrocket, one is charcoal and the other is firewood, both of which are materials closely related to life. There was no induction cooker or natural gas at this time. If you wanted to use a stove to cook, you had to burn firewood honestly, otherwise you would have no food.
There are millions of households in Bianjing City, and the consumption of firewood alone is a huge figure every day. At the gate of the western suburbs and on the Bianhe River, there is an endless stream of civilians and cargo ships transporting firewood every day. Although the mosquito meat is small, it adds up to a lot, and it is also a considerable income.
Sun's tea is warm and fragrant, and combined with ginger and garlic, it is an excellent cold-repelling drink in this cold season. Zhao Yunrang refused at first, but after cooking two cups himself, he was reluctant to drink it. The quality of the tea bricks was really great, and Liang Chuanduan was very capable and discerning about tea.
Liang Chuan sipped the tea gently, and the coldness in his body was slightly driven away. The conditions in Zhao Yunrang's family are still too bad, but maybe this is what makes Zhao Zhen fall in love with their lineage. If those intertwined clans come to power, Zhao Zhen doesn't know whether his cronies and clan will still have a way to survive.
But if even eating is a problem, the various necessary conditions for the growth of the child will not be met.
Liang Chuan usually sat quietly with Zhao Yunrang, neither sincere nor polite. After thinking about it for a while, he finally said: "Your Majesty, I will build a big house similar to a restaurant recently. It will have cooking, accommodation and many other things." This novel gadget can generate at least hundreds of thousands of dollars in income every year. Mr. Sun and I both share the shares, and now I would like to invite you to join us. I wonder if Prince Zhao has any intention?"
Zhao Yunrang was a loyal and honest person, and he never left his hands with tea. He laughed at himself: "Why should I participate in a shareholding with you? I have no capital, no skills, and no means."
Liang Chuan said: "You don't need your money, let alone your efforts. Your Majesty, this is Ginseng's hidden stock. I will never reveal your identity or actions to the outside world. I give you a share here every year, and you only need to sit back and collect it every year." Just money.”
Zhao Yunrang did some calculations and found out that this restaurant can collect hundreds of thousands of guan every year, and one share is only tens of thousands of guan. This is not a small amount of money.
Zhao Yunrang looked at Liang Chuan intently and said: "Sanlang, I know you are a loyal person, and I want to ask you the truth. You first introduced the Sun family brother to me, then found a husband for Zong Shi, and now you want to give me this big boy." The good thing is that I, Zhao Yunrang, am now a person who even ignores dogs when I go out on the street. What do you think about me, Zhao Yunrang?"
Liang Chuan quickly knelt down in front of Zhao Yun and said: "I am a businessman through and through. As the saying goes, I can't afford to be early without profit. It is because I have taken a fancy to Brother Shi that he has a bright future, so I do what you want. Prince Mao'er is guilty of being a villain." You deserve to die!"
"To put it bluntly, this kid Zongshi has some talent. If he teaches me well, he might be able to get a degree or something in the future, but compared to other clans, not only his connections but also his status, his future prospects are not that far behind..."
Liang Chuan raised his head and said with some embarrassment: "The key is that those powerful clan members don't look down on villains..."
Liang Chuan's words hit the mark. Those with power only like to associate with rich people. Although Liang Chuan has some money on hand, people think that his family backs Beijing. Liang Chuan is not qualified for anything. In their eyes, Liang Chuan really doesn't look good. Not on.
"According to your good words, if he becomes a real man in the future and he fails you, I will not spare him!"
Come, come, Liang Chuan wants this promise.
"The adults have such golden words, and the villains can't repay them even if they are messed up!"
