Chapter 161: Brother Gao

After analyzing all the way, this journey is almost over.

The scenery along the way is beautiful and the land is fertile, and it can be seen that the people's life is quite rich and comfortable, and it is very much the posture of a water town in the south of the Yangtze River.

After Luqidian, Alin Min, Ah Homi's ballistae could not be played at all, because there were farms on both sides of the river, all the crossbow strings were released and covered, and the big ship turned back into a regular merchant ship.

The people here are very good at growing rice, and they are also good at cultivating terraces, at least better than the villagers in Kolongli.

The growth of rice is also better than that of Songdi, and Su You suddenly remembered a question, Dali borders Annan, and the excellent and high-yield rice varieties in Zhancheng seem to be impossible to get?

Soon, the big boat sailed into a lake, the leaves are green, the gulls and herons are gathering, many fishing boats are fishing in the lake, and it can be seen that the lake is abundant.

This is the famous Dianchi Lake.

On the shores of the Great Lake, there are many water conservancy projects, as well as luxurious palace gardens, and the nobility has a different industry, and it is prosperous all the way.

The climate is also very pleasant, and the group looks at the vast lake, and they are all relaxed.

Mr. Fan pointed to the two rivers on both sides: "Over there, it is Chundengli, the river that flows through is called Jinzhi River, and the embankment along the river is called Chundeng Dike, also called Jindi." ”

"Over there is the Yunjin River, and the embankment is called Yunjin Embankment, also called Yindi."

"The two embankments of gold and silver, defending, storing and draining, irrigation, the benefits are great, and the Shanxian Mansion is located in the middle, surrounded by water on three sides. These two embankments, together with Dianchi Lake, have created the abundance here. ”

The big boat walked for a while, and the crowd in front of it became denser and denser, and soon it entered a relatively narrow lake or river, and the density of boats suddenly increased, and at the end of the lake, a large city appeared.

Shanxian Mansion has finally arrived.

The big ship docked at the berth, and soon there were people from the yamen coming, and after some negotiation and inspection, several mule carts came over, and the big ship began to unload.

This is the official and private commodity material distribution center of Dali State, called Guandu. Almost all the goods in Dali were transported to Yongzhou and Guangxi through Shanxian City to trade with the Great Song Dynasty. Thousands of war horses alone are shipped out every year.

The group disembarked and began to walk towards a stone road outside the pier.

There are many signboards of the businesses on the wharf, all of which are red rattan canes, saddle bridles, felt, musk, medicinal herbs and other shops, and the goods are dazzling.

Similarly, almost half of the warehouses opened by the Song people were opened, and Chinese books, silk brocade, porcelain, and various exquisite handicrafts were also very impressive.

The Second Forest Department has a branch here, which is a few tall townhouses, looking like nouveau riche.

Gold, silk, books, wine, porcelain, lined up in five facades.

The courtyards behind the four facades, all warehouses, except for the bookstore, were opened up as residences.

When the group came, there were already a large number of merchants waiting at the entrance of the first gold shop, and their faces were full of anticipation, and they blocked the street when they came up.

The group was all dressed in fancy clothes, and it looked like merchants from further west and south.

This is also reasonable, the things transported by the Great Song Dynasty do not have the reason why the Song people from the east came to buy them and then shipped them back.

Ah Homi and Mr. Fan were surrounded, so they had to let Su You and the others go to the back room of the bookstore to rest first, and then go over after they had dealt with these customers.

There were also quite a few people in the bookstore, dressed more brightly and fancied than the ones outside, and talking loudly with the clerks, who did not seem to be the seeds of reading, but the likes of merchants who regarded books as goods, and bargained there.

There was only one young man, who looked like a scholar, standing there leisurely flipping through a book, seemingly unaffected by the noise around him.

The owner of the bookstore threw a large group of merchants to his fellows and carefully waited by himself.

The young man stands out in a group of bells and whistles in the southwest merchants, wearing a Dali style magnolia-shaped black gauze hat on his head, a moon-white scribe shirt, compared with the Great Song Dynasty, only a horizontal shirt on the knee is missing, and the plain cotton socks and soap silk boots under the feet are very simple.

However, the fabrics and workmanship of the clothes are all exquisite, and they are not affordable for ordinary readers.

As soon as Su You followed everyone into the door, he was stunned when he saw this scholar.

When the scholar saw Su You, he was also stunned.

A feeling welled up in both of them that this man had seen somewhere.

Then, with a flicker of thought, both of them couldn't help but smile at the same time. Isn't the other party's style the same as his own style? No wonder it's so familiar!

The young man held the scroll in his hand and clenched his fist at Su You.

Su You also bowed down, but the two did not answer, and passed by.

followed everyone to the backyard and continued to walk, and I heard the scholar behind him say to the shopkeeper: "This set of "Zhaoxin Baojian", the author should be able to negotiate people, but the three religions are all in it, and they are chiseled with each other, which is very different from the way of suppressing Confucianism in the Central Plains. Could it be that it was written by my Dali Daxian hermit? Do you know where this person is? I should be introduced to my father. ”

The official language of Dali is Chinese, and young people speak it well.

When the shopkeeper was very embarrassed, he shook his head with a wry smile: "The villain just knows a little Chinese characters, so he was arranged to this position by the lord, and the villain really doesn't know what the son asked." ”

Su You stopped and turned around: ""Zhaoxin Baojian" is written by Mr. Long Qizhi, a famous residence in Lingzhou in the Great Song Dynasty. Long Lao was a monk when he was young, and then he was persuaded by the Taifu Gong to change to Confucianism, and the study of "Yi" was also very deep, so the three teachings in his book were mixed. He is the most famous scholar in Shu, not a native of Dali. ”

The young man was a little surprised: "The little brother is from the Great Song Dynasty?" The children's knowledge of the Great Song Dynasty is so extensive? My Dali scholar is also a Confucian first, and Mr. Long's exposition, the invention of two phases, is really suitable for my Dali education. ”

Su You said: "Mr. Long was the teacher of my Great Song Dynasty Prime Minister Wen Lugong, Lu Gong first recommended him as an assistant teacher of the four sects of the country, and then the imperial court changed the secretary to the provincial school Shulang. Now he is serving as the head of the Meishan Academy, although he is in good health, but he is already in his eighties this year, and I am afraid that he will not be able to come to your state. ”

After speaking, he bowed deeply: "It's not that he is knowledgeable, but the kid himself is a student of Meishan Academy." Yaxing shouldn't have bothered you, but I heard that the division commander was mentioned, so I had to answer, and I ask for your forgiveness. ”

The young man couldn't help but be a little disappointed: "Mr. Long can't come to Dali. It's a pity, it's a pity. ”

Su You said: "Actually, it's nothing. The article is righteous and reasonable, and the fire is passed on, and you can know its person by looking at its books. The Master was born in the Spring and Autumn Period, but isn't he still admired today? Therefore, the truth is in the book, and the person is also in the book, and it is not necessary to meet face to face. ”

The young man bowed down and said, "This is a great goodness, but I have fallen into the cliché and been taught. I am Gao Zhisheng and have seen Shangbang literary scholars. ”

This is to be connected with a peaceful courtesy, and no longer be a child.

Su You bowed as a salute: "Don't dare, Da Song Meishan Su You Su Mingrun, I have seen Brother Gao." ”

Gao Zhisheng turned his head to the shopkeeper and said: "Shopkeeper, box up all of Long Lao's writings for me, I want them all, I'll go back and think about it carefully." ”

The shopkeeper was dumbfounded, this kid's mouth is too powerful, this kind of sales effort, I'm afraid it's as long as throwing everyone off a golden embankment.

Listen to Blazing Flame say that this is a good friend of the Lord and should be ...... Sure...... You're not here to take my job, are you?

Gao Zhisheng suddenly thought of something, turned his head to Su You and said, "Brother Xian knows so much about Long Lao's life, it seems that he is his personal disciple?" ”

Su You smiled: "No, but every day, I have to take care of Long Lao's daily life." ”

Gao Zhisheng sighed: "That's really a great luck!" Does Long Lao have any other writings? ”

Su You said with a smile: "That's too much, even this time, Long Lao also gave me two books, which are textbooks for me to study on my own on the road, and I have to take the test when I go back." ”

"One of them is the "Political Book", which points out the gains and losses of the governance of the past dynasties; One is "The Emperor's Heart", which tells the story of the way to uphold righteousness for the ministers and the monarch. ”

"These two sets of books are all annotated by Long Lao, and their Chinese characters are quite taboo. If someone with a bad heart sees it, I'm afraid that he will spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, so he can't see it outside. ”

"Now that I've finished reading it, since Brother Xian respects Long Lao so much, how about Su You give it to my brother?"

Gao Zhisheng couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Really? That's great! ”

Su You said with a smile: "You're welcome, I've already done my best, and Elder Long will only test his understanding of righteousness, not the gains and losses in words, so he can't use it anymore." Come with me, brother. ”

Gao Zhisheng followed Su You and entered the inner courtyard together.

The inner courtyard is a circle of houses, and in the middle is a frangipani tree with small white flowers, which are pleasantly fragrant.

Found his luggage and opened the bookcase, Su You took out the two books: "Brother Xian, take it, oh yes, I have to give you this book too." ”

Gao Zhisheng took it, looked at the cover, and wrote the four words "Zhuxuan Collection", and then opened it to see the content, but it was a poetry booklet.

Su You smiled like a fox: "Although Long Lao is proficient in the three doctrines, his poetry is his painstaking hand, and his work is really average. ”

"When he was lecturing in Fuzhou, he wrote a poem "Three Mountains Are Things", "Cangyan Lane is green and old, and the purple cane of Bailu Garden is sweet. Department stores enter the market with the tide boats, and thousands of wine merchants hang their curtains. 'There is a scene but no mercy, goods and markets, tides and boats, easy-going, every house and household are suspected of emphasizing righteousness, it is really a bit stacked and boring, so he does not allow us to spread his poetry on weekdays. ”
