Everyone sighed for a while, both sighing and sighing, but also sad but not sad, it is not important how much true feelings are revealed, the key is at the right time.

At that time, the Yuxian Bridge had already been completed, although the construction had been around for a long time, and the Yuxian Bridge was not the original design concept, but it is rumored that the proposal of the word Yuxian is still the current holy royal intention. Why do you insist on this, and where is the profundity, it's not something that my subordinates can guess! Gu Xixiu finally brought the topic back.

"Maybe it's a kind of warning of guilt, or maybe it's a way to highlight the symbolic meaning of imperial power in the Imperial Garden! Since there are still two sides of the stone stele, and the origin of the immortal is recited, I am afraid that there is a deeper reason in it! Yang Gaotang deliberately interjected here, and his eyes seemed to glance at Li Zhi unconsciously.

Li Zhixin moved, and in an instant, he understood the meaning of the gaze, Gu Xixiu's explanation, there was a loophole and a huge gap, and the back talked about the candidate's lack of real material in learning, but in front of the candidate's fame was achieved.

The Tang Dynasty had a large number of candidates and a small number of admission places, so the imperial examination was very difficult. At that time, there was a so-called "thirty old Ming Jing, fifty young jinshi" saying, which shows the difficulty of the imperial examination.

The imperial examination is too difficult, so many people can't be admitted to the examination even if they have gray hair, which is the truest origin of the phrase "earn all the heroes to be white".

Since the scientific examination is so difficult, how can the candidate be able to go to high school without real materials, and then have more experience in joining the Hanlin Bachelor's degree?

Then there are only two possibilities, one is that the person has real talent and learning, and can be a newcomer to the Hanlin Bachelor, and the Hanlin Bachelor is different from the three, six, nine, etc., and is also a professional artist, that is to gather a group of scribes as personal advisers for the emperor, for the purpose of consultants.

Furthermore, with the advice of the immortals, the luck of the test is a fait accompli, perhaps the identity of the immortals needs to be investigated, but thanks to the help of the nobles, it cannot be extinguished, of course, this is difficult to understand, and there is no way to verify.

Later, someone went to Longxi to look for the candidate's hometown, only to learn that the candidate's distant relative was Wang Pin, which is where Li Zhi thinks the biggest loophole lies.

Because his master was born in Longxi, Longxi is named because it is in the west of Longshan, and it has been the "country of four stops" since ancient times, and the soldiers must fight for it, so it is also the county, state and government of the past dynasties.

Longshan is another name for the southern section of Liupan Mountain, also known as Longban, according to Master Tan, there are frequent wars, Turkic harassment and robbery are endless, he is in Luwang Village, which is far away from the border town for hundreds of miles, the whole village of more than 230 people is still looted, except for him were slaughtered, where to find out the specific origin of the candidate?

After every war with the Turks in Longxi, it is equivalent to rebuilding fortifications in the local area, where are there any aborigines who do not know whether they are alive or dead, and still firmly guard the ancestral land to survive?

Yang Gaotang knew about this, so he had the same huge doubts as Li Zhi, perhaps in his opinion, some people in the imperial court were deliberately covering up something to get the advice of the immortals.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, from the two sentences of "Xianfan Road is separated, cocoon and self-bound" shouted in front of the Chengtou River in Wang County, the rough reading is indeed very in line with his unbearable situation and the tragic situation of survival at that time, but if you dig deeper, there is a certain strangeness in it.

What is Xianfan Road? That means that the heavenly immortals and mortals on earth do not interact with each other, which is not difficult to understand.

But the cocoon self-binding comes from the silkworm spinning silk to make a cocoon, wrapping itself in it, figuring that doing something and trapping oneself as a result, and also figuring oneself to find trouble for oneself, but there is also a sentence below it that "breaks the cocoon into a butterfly" meaning hidden behind it.

Perhaps biting through the cocoon he weaved, turning from a chrysalis to a moth, and finally completing the leap in the essence of life, was the most real psychological conception of Wang Xiancheng at that time.

Combined with Gaozong's insistence on giving the name of the bridge to the immortal bridge, Li Zhi and Yang Gaotang invariably had a similar view in their hearts: the immortals pointed out that there was a reason for the teaching, and it was not deliberately made up in advance, and Wang Xiancheng was pushed out as a substitute for the dead ghost, in order to cover up or calm the discord inside and outside the court.

For Li Zhi at this time, even if he knew that there was another mystery in it, he didn't go to his heart, this matter had nothing to do with him, and the immortals said that it was too far away from him, and it was an obscurity that had not been recorded in the annals of later generations, and it was not beneficial to him to think too much about it.

Then someone changed the topic, and it diverged into the legends about the customs and customs of Lishan, and no one looked into the matter anymore.

But Li Zhi didn't know about it, there was a huge secret in Yuxian Bridge, when he learned about it, it was the day of the restoration of Tang Zhongzong thirteen years later, and Gaozong left him an imperial decree that explained everything, and it was also the last reward for his contribution to helping the royal family surnamed Li, so that he benefited from it and benefited him for life!

When the wine was hot, Jiang Han and Jiang Shan came together, and what they exchanged with Li Zhi was about the smelting process.

"I've found the metallic wire drawing plate of the goldsmith in the county, will I start this tomorrow? I am interested in a more advanced smelting process, just by making a special steel wire quenching method, it can make today's fine iron products to a new level! Jiang Shan handed him a drawing board.

It was a piece of refined pure steel that was infinitely close to the stainless steel of later generations, and Li Zhi was very surprised, how could there be a cemented carbide plate in the future at this time, and there were three rows of round holes with a total of fifty-one different sizes.

"We first have to quench the board and then improve it, although the quality of this material has been very impressive to me, but the strength and hardness near the wire hole need to be higher, otherwise it will either be stretched or worn, and the drawn wire will definitely not be the original thickness. We don't need to repeatedly pound carburizing to increase strength, but with tempering at different temperatures, in order to greatly improve the strength, hardness, wear resistance, fatigue strength and toughness of steel, which is related to a quenching medium formula, and a complete set of metal heat treatment process that can be quickly cooled, then I will leave the complete formula, the most basic part of the process dictated to Uncle Shan! ”

Of course, Li Zhi can't send out the complete process, which is the biggest support for his future military business, and the biggest guarantee for his commercial status along with rice paper and coal mining in the future.

Jiang Shan was unmoved, in other words, he knew the importance of it, and no matter how close it was, he couldn't be punished for nothing, which was his always the norm of life: "I understand the truth, but it's good to understand the principle, you can mix the formula in advance, and hand over a part of it to me to use." ”

Li Zhi admired his attitude: "Uncle Shan, listen to me, since I plan to participate in my future steel smelter in the future, I need to explain the formula to the person who knows the best, otherwise I will not argue with a little knowledge, but I will make a wedding dress for others!" No matter how the smelter develops in the future, the formula is always known to you, so that I can do it without worry! ”

Jiang Han hurriedly helped Jiang Shan agree, he knew his cousin's temperament, so he agreed first, and then had a deep discussion with him in the future.

"Then I'll start preparing tomorrow, the small iron-making shaft furnace hasn't started for a year, and I also have to practice in advance!"

"Tomorrow during the day will not work, I will go to Lishan to pick up the ancestor back, and we will start the trial at night!"

The three communicated for a long time, and it was not until the third daughter came to find them that the two uncles left in a funny way.

"Brother, look at my sister, she accompanies Guan Ming all night, and she is not ashamed in front of his subordinates, and she has to feed her, there are so many people around!" Obviously, there was a lot of injustice in Yu Ran's tone, because she insisted in her heart that her sister was still young, and there was reluctance in her thoughts.

"Qin Xin is not too young, and Cry is the same age, I am waiting to be married!" Obviously, Yu Ran kept nagging all night, and seeing that no one responded to his opinions, he simply ran to Li Zhi to confide in him, which caused Pang Zhi to be dissatisfied.

Qingqi smiled: "No wonder I don't want to listen, my ears are about to get calluses!" Yu Ran, since Uncle Cheng Yi and Aunt Jiang approve it, you don't have to worry about it! ”

"Having said that, I still remember the situation when she was coquettish in my arms, accepting it in her attitude, and still feeling deeply reluctant in her psychology!"

"But on weekdays, I don't hear you complain about Qingqin's arrogance, why are you thinking about her now?" Li Zhi teased her.

"That's different, although I am also very optimistic about Guan Ming, and his family background is even more useless, but I just don't want to be reconciled, my sister who didn't grow up has become a member of the family since then!"

"Yu Ran, you are a typical ambivalence, fully experiencing the contradictory characteristics of semi-maturity and semi-naivety, or you have vented the rebellious psychology of young people in the growth stage on your attitude towards your sister!" Qingqi was very unceremonious.

"yes, why don't I think it myself? Is it that serious? So how do you get through this phase smoothly? Yu Ran was surprised.

"Ask him, and he'll have a way!" Qingqi squinted at Li Zhi.

Pang Qi asked strangely: "Brother Zhengwen? What can he do, and it's not us women! ”

Li Zhi patiently helped her interpret: "What does your sister Qingqi mean is that if I turn Yuran directly into a woman, or even become a mother as soon as possible, will I be able to quickly save her from the developing state?" ”

Yu Ran smacked him in shame, his head spinning around, in case someone else eavesdropped.

Pang Qi was extremely excited and urged, "Then let's hurry up and save Sister Yuran, she is not lightly ill, and she urgently needs this way to help her get out of the sea of suffering!" Sister Qingqi, let's go take a bath, wash our hands and wait for Brother Zhengwen to come to us! ”

Qingqi asked with a smile: "That's also Yuran needs to be treated as soon as possible, what are the two of us doing in the bath?" ”

"Cry will eventually experience Sister Yuran's state at this time, and it's good to prevent it in advance! Sister Qingqi needs to be more stable, otherwise there will be a possibility of recurrence! ”

Pang Qi's serious nonsense caused Yu Ran to be even more ashamed, but Qingqi was already turning her head to search for the figure of her eldest aunt, this is different from home, and it is still difficult to take a hot bath.

When the three girls left with the others, Li Zhi went to find someone to drink and drink, and let a group of outsiders go, so it was not good to leave the table early.

Aunt Yu Ling was obviously very concerned about the affairs of a few young people, and after Li Zhi wandered around the crowd, when she came to Guan Ming's circle, she stepped forward to stop her: "Little Hou Ye, you have to get drunk every time a guest comes, you can't go on like this tonight, go back early to rest, we are here!" ”

Li Zhi's expression was stunned, and then he understood the inexplicable meaning in Aunt Yu Ling's eyes, and Yang Gaotang spoke: "He Aunt Yu Ling, the text is now a serious eight classics of the marquis, maybe in the next year it will be from the second grade of the county prince, you little marquis is no longer suitable!" ”

Aunt Yu Ling was happy, "He just became the king of the county, and we also looked at him since he was a child, this title can't be changed!" ”

"Text, do you hear that? Aunt Yu Ling, this is showing off her old qualifications! Alright, you've drunk a lot of wine tonight, so let's go and rest first, and we'll take care of all the adults here! ”

Li Zhi borrowed the donkey to return to the bedroom, and saw that there were already several basins of water in the room, and there was steaming steam.

The three girls were all dressed in translucent pajamas, looking at him with a smile in the fragrance of pure flowers, in which the shame turned into peach, and the warmth in their eyes was almost turned into water!
