Chapter 209: Gift-giving

In Xu Ping's official hall of the Regulations Editing Institute, Shi Quanbin took a pair of reading glasses and looked left and right at the sunlight in the window, and said: "What kind of reading glasses are these, they are really so magical?" Can an old man wear it and see things? I've been looking here for a long time, and I haven't seen anything about it. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½ā€

Xu Ping laughed when he was asked by Shi Quanbin, stood up and said, "How old are you, of course you don't need to wear this!" It is useful for those who are old and dizzy to wear it, and everything can be seen clearly. ā€

"The official family is the same age as you, what's the use of giving him this thing? You'll have to wait decades to be able to use it! ā€

Xu Ping stepped forward and patted Shi Quanbin's head: "Where did you think of it!" These glasses were given to the emperor, but not for him, but for him to give them to the Empress Dowager Yang, showing the emperor's filial piety! ā€

"Oh-" Shi Quanbin then understood, "Empress Dowager Yang's eyes are not very good, she still embroidered by herself a few years ago, and she has been saying that she can't see clearly in the past two years." If these glasses are really so useful, the Queen Mother doesn't know how happy she is, and if the Queen Mother is happy, the official family will be happy. If you want to do something at this time, the official family will definitely agree. ā€

"What can be done, it's not for the newly opened field." Xu Ping paced by the window, "If you want to make these glasses or something, you can't do without Si Tianjian." You also know that since the time of Taizu, there have been many restrictions on the officials and students of Si Tianjian, and they can't go out to be officials, and they can't move around with officials too much, which is very inconvenient. ā€

"What, do you want to find Si Tianjian's personnel to do things?" Shi Quanbin was a little surprised, and put away the reading glasses in his hand.

Xu Ping nodded: "I can't leave them." Do you know what you need most of these glasses? It is necessary to have someone who is proficient in arithmetic to do it. And those who are proficient in arithmetic, where else is there besides Si Tianjian? ā€

"I learned the general arithmetic, I don't need to be a supervisor of the heavens, there are a lot of them outside!"

Xu Ping looked at Shi Quanbin and said, "You really dare to say that there are a lot of them, you can talk about it." ā€

"Hey, this little thing, the marquis went to find Gao Daquan." Shi Quanbin shook his head and sighed, "That's the marquis's own person, how can he forget him!" ā€

"Gao Daquan?" Xu Ping was amazed, "How many years has he been with me, I really don't know how much he knows how to do arithmetic!" I've taught him before, but he's not as good as Sun Qilang! Shichiro can still learn a little bit, but Gao Daquan doesn't know anything! ā€

"Tall and tall don't know anything, tall sister-in-law can't pass! The marquis of the county must have forgotten that the Hun family married by Gao Daquan is the daughter of Si Tianjian Cheng Chuyan, who has been proficient in arithmetic since childhood, but because of his daughter's body, he can't enter Si Tianjian to inherit his father's business. ā€

When Shi Quanbin said this, Xu Ping remembered that Gao Daquan was married to Chu Yan's daughter, and Chu Yan was the top mathematical talent in this era, and "Chongtian Calendar" was based on him and Zhou Cong. Such a character, if he taught his only daughter since he was a child, it is really hard to say how far he can go.

After thinking for a while, Xu Ping asked Shi Quanbin: "The Hun family of Gao Daquan is really proficient in arithmetic?" Don't fool me! ā€

"It's still fake! We usually eat and drink with Gao Daquan, and he often talks about it. has always said that if it weren't for the fact that his Hun family was a daughter and entered the Si Tianjian, few people could compare. ā€

After returning to the capital, Gao Daquan and Sun Qilang became officials one after another, plus Lu Fang later, he often got together with Shi Quanbin to drink and have fun. Xu Ping's identity is different, he basically doesn't participate in their circle, but he doesn't know these things.

"And this matter, interesting, when do you want to talk to Gao Daquan." Xu Ping was surprised, but he didn't expect Gao Daquan to pick up another treasure. In these years, there are not many men who know how to count families, and there may be only one woman in the world.

"But one person is not enough, and it is inconvenient for women, so we still have to borrow the power of Si Tianjian." After thinking for a while, Xu Ping felt a little pity. Although the defense of men and women is not so serious these days, it is impossible to work together, let alone let a woman take the lead in doing things and teaching others. And Xu Ping also felt that it was a pity that Jia Xian's talent was only wasted in Si Tianjian, and he had to find a way to transfer him out and let him give full play to his knowledge and talent. It's best when the time is ripe to start another lesson in arithmetic in Guozijian, talk about it a little deeper, don't just talk about "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" like now, it can only be regarded as a scratch.

Guozi supervises and teaches very miscellaneous, in addition to the subset of scripture and history, there are also arithmetic subjects, there are also calligraphy subjects, and even painting subjects, seriously speaking, it is a comprehensive school. But what is really famous is the Jinshi who came out of it.

With the increase in the demand for technical personnel in society, I wonder if it will allow other students to gain a higher status in the future. Xu Ping is not sure, and has been thinking about ways to train and motivate technicians, but he doesn't have a definite idea yet.

Today, Xu Ping was on duty at the Yamen and did not go to the court.

According to the regulations, when the three divisions were performing in shifts, the deputy envoys of the previous dynasty had to go out together with the envoys of the three divisions, Kou Ying, so that they could answer some specific yamen affairs during the performance. However, one of the three deputy envoys must be in charge of the yamen and take turns to sign the detainment.

Just when Xu Ping and Shi Quanbin were gossiping in the hall, the officials of the previous dynasty returned one after another, and the early dynasty dispersed.

Shi Quanbin said: "Ah, when the early dynasty is dispersed, when the official family has soup and rice, I will go in now and offer these reading glasses." Otherwise, when the Chongzheng Hall will discuss the matter, I don't know when it will be. ā€

"Okay, remember to bring the three pairs together, and explain to the emperor that you must wear different glasses for reading, writing, painting and receiving guests, otherwise it is not good for your eyes. As soon as you wear glasses, you will know which pair is right for everything. ā€

Reading glasses do not have any adjustment function, that is, rigidly change the focal length of the pupil of the human eye, in order to be good for the eyes, it is best to wear different reading glasses for different occasions. Whether it is the queen mother or the powerful of the dynasty, the last thing they are afraid of is trouble, anyway, there are always people around them who are waiting, and trouble can't be on themselves.

Shi Quanbin agreed, and hurriedly went to the palace with reading glasses in a delicate wooden box.

Watching Shi Quanbin leave, Xu Ping carried a military general on duty, sealed three pairs of reading glasses in the box, wrote a post casually, and said to him: "You take this box and take my post to the Eight Great Wang's Mansion, just say that the Third Division made a new kind of reading glasses to facilitate the elderly to read and write, so it is said that the Third Division gave it to the king." ā€

The general promised, and Xu Ping said again: "It must be sent to the eight kings, remember to ask for a reply and come back." ā€

The general responded, walked out of the yamen with the box, and went straight to the house of the eighth king, Zhao Yuanyan.

Xu Ping breathed a sigh of relief, summoned a miscellaneous official to his official hall, and asked him to hold the remaining box and go out with him. Out of the Sansi Yamen, all the way to the political hall.

The two places are not far away, Xu Ping did not take the car, and walked slowly all the way.

When I arrived in front of the political affairs hall, I saw that the officials of the yamen had been standing at the door for a long time and were waiting outside, all of them had important official documents waiting for approval. At the door, a mirror nearly a man tall was erected, and a handyman stood beside him neatly and vigorously. This is the largest mirror in the yamen, and if you want to enter the government hall, you must first get dressed here.

Xu Ping, as the deputy envoy of the Third Division, of course, could not wait outside like other officials, and went straight to the door.

Without waiting for the official in charge to come forward and ask, the miscellaneous official who looked at the mirror first said angrily: "To be systematized, please go to the mirror to dress in front of the mirror first, this is the rule ordered by Xue Shilang!" ā€

Xu Ping looked at this miscellaneous official with a fox and a fake tiger, and had no choice but to go to the mirror.

The provincial judgment of Shangshu is to be held by officials or bachelors of the third rank or above, and the qualifications are very high, but in fact, there are basically no specific affairs. At this time, Shangshu Province existed in name only, and most of the power was vested in the Privy Council and the Three Divisions, as well as the Court of Judges, the Court of Trials, and so on, which were nominally temporary yamen. Xue Kui was not in good health, and after he did not serve as the governor of the government, he was appointed as the judge of Shangshu Province, but in fact, he did not come to see things at all, and he was purely in name. This miscellaneous official used Xue Kui's name to talk about things, purely pulling the tiger's skin.

Looking at himself in the mirror, Xu Ping straightened the official robe on his body, lifted the jade belt, straightened the head on his head, and confirmed that there was no problem with his appearance, before turning around and going to the political hall.

The official clothes worn in the yamen are much simpler than those worn by the previous dynasty. As for the two long wings that stretched out of Xu Ping's most impressive head when he watched film and television dramas in his previous life, they can actually be removed. As for the legends of later generations, the officials of the Song Dynasty had to carefully look at the width of the road when they walked, and carefully watch whether the wings on their heads could pass, which was purely a joke. The difference is that the head at this time is different from the soft head of the Tang Dynasty, but the hard head, which is basically equivalent to a hat.

However, wearing a public uniform is generally inserted, and the wat on formal occasions replaces the hand, which is different from the previous generation.

Xu Ping took the accompanying miscellaneous officials into the political hall, explained his intention to the official on duty, and he went in to pass the ceremony, and without much effort, he came out to let Xu Ping enter the official hall.

When I entered the official hall, I saw that several of the governors happened to be there, and I didn't know what the court talked about today, so they all sat with their eyes closed, thinking about what they were going to say in the Chongzheng Palace.

Xu Ping came in, saluted the prime ministers' participation in politics, and stood aside.

Lu Yijian looked at Xu Ping and asked, "Xu Beizhi, what gifts do you say you want to give to a few of us." I can tell you, this is the government hall, private bribery, be careful when the soldiers come in and fork you out! ā€

Wang Zeng and several governors listened to it and laughed together.

It is impossible to come in so openly if you want to pay bribes, and several people know that Lu Yijian is joking and does not take it seriously.

Zhang Dexiang, who was most familiar with Xu Ping, said: "Xu Ping, don't be frightened by Lu Xianggong, if there are any good things, hurry up, we will go to the Chongzheng Palace to discuss matters in a while, don't delay." ā€

Xu Ping held the wat in both hands and said to several governors: "Ladies and gentlemen, a new kind of glasses have been made in the field affairs of the three divisions, thinking that you can use them, as soon as they are made, I will send them specially to you." ā€

After speaking, he instructed the miscellaneous officials who followed behind him to put the box he was holding on an empty desk, stepped forward to open it, took out a pair of reading glasses, and said to the eldest Lu Yijian: "Lu Xianggong, how about giving it a try?" ā€

During this time, the Sansi shop sold mirrors and glass products, these people are no strangers to glass, Lu Yijian took the reading glasses in his hand, looked at them over and over again, and asked: "These two pieces of glass, framed with copper frames, look very exquisite, what is the use?"
