In late spring, the grass is green and the air is filled with vitality.
Delicate flowers are blooming, twigs are sprouting, the ice on the Bianhe River is melting, the official roads are bustling with people, and residents who have rested for the winter are busy again, maintaining their families' livelihood.
On the streets of Bianliang, more and more merchants began to pour into the capital.
Bianliang is synonymous with wealth and is the well-deserved number one city in the world in this era.
Zhaodefang, inner courtyard, back garden.
The bright spring light spreads in the artificial lake, and a group of goldfish swims around, waiting for the wicked human above to scatter the fish food. Yang Lin sits on the railing of the pavilion, holding it in his hand, and teases the fish from time to time.
group.
Wu Min and Ma Kuo were also sitting in the pavilion, taking turns talking about the current situation in the government offices they were responsible for.
The earth-shaking new policies will definitely give rise to different problems.
Many policies have never appeared in the Central Plains, so the associated problems may also be unprecedented, and local officials may not be able to handle them properly.
Therefore, Yang Lin is preparing to patrol all provinces in the world to solve these problems as much as possible. When the country is rich and the people are strong, all foreign enemies will be wiped out.
A foreseeable prosperous age will arrive at that time.
This patrol was no small matter. In order to protect Yang Lin's safety, not only were all the personal guards of the Long Live Battalion sent out, but there were also 10,000 troops from the Beijing Battalion marching with them.
Zhongshu's disciples and the six departments prepared all night, and the craftsmen and supervisors worked all night to make the ceremonial flags and carriage frames.
Yang Lin's current status is that he is a prince, and this time he is in the place of Xuanfu. He has a two-pronged approach of benevolence and demonstration. There is no improvidence or sloppiness, and preparations are strictly in accordance with the prince's specifications.
Wu Min talked enthusiastically about the restructuring of Taixue, but saw that his mentor didn't seem to be listening, and he couldn't help but feel a little discouraged. He lowered his tone, and Yang Lin coughed for the rest of his life, and said: "Louder."
Wu Min cheered up and continued: "The scholars who studied in various places are all mixed. Those in Jiangnan and Lingnan are at the bottom, and their knowledge is higher than that in Hebei and Qinlong. As for Youyan and Yunnei
, it is even more unbearable, often not even fully understanding the meaning of the scriptures.”
When Yang Lin heard this, he clapped his hands and stood up, saying: "Jing Shi Ziyi, as part of the examination, there is no problem. But when it comes to selecting talents to become officials, how can we follow this completely? You are still Yang
If you follow the example of a great disciple, this can be said to be extremely stupid."
Wu Min quickly stood up, bent down and clasped his fists, saying: "Teacher, please calm down, I understand that I was wrong."
"Although it is innocent of being stupid, it depends on where you are. You plow the fields and herd cattle at home, which only affects the food and clothing of your own family. Since you are in charge of the Imperial Academy, you affect the entire country. The new officials of the imperial court are controlled by your Taixue.
Learning to select the best knights, for such an important position, you just dropped your book bag and turned a deaf ear to what the teacher taught you. Have you learned Yang Xue like a dog?"
Yang Lin was rarely so angry, and he rarely scolded his disciples. This time, his tone was so serious that Wu Min was scolded so hard that his face turned red and he sweated like rain.
"After I get back, I'll think hard and write down what I just scolded you a hundred times, and then come up with a copy of the recruitment regulations. If I've already left the capital, I'll have the postman deliver it to me."
Wu Min quickly clasped his fists and retreated with Ma Kuo, who was also frightened.
Yang Lin looked at their backs, and before he could calm down, he cursed loudly: "Rotten wood cannot be carved!"
The two people's backs were startled at the same time, and then they walked out.
After leaving Zhaodefang, Wu Min's eyes were red, and Ma Kuo comforted him: "Don't be sad. This is a sign of deep love and responsibility for my mentor. It shows that he values you very much."
"I thought I had done a good job, but my mentor's words today were like enlightenment and awakened me. We are the first batch of disciples of Yang Xue. Have we really touched the essence of our mentor's knowledge?" Wu Min sighed and said as he walked.
Ma Kuo also nodded and said: "In the past, my mentor valued Yuwen Shutong particularly, and even Cai Sui favored them. At that time, I thought my mentor favored these two junior brothers. Now it seems that they are the
I learned the knowledge from my mentor."
After scolding the two disciples away, Yang Lin stood up, feeling a little suffocated. He made two chest-expanding movements, and saw a commotion in the yard, with several maids coming and going in a hurry.
Yang Lin stopped the leaders Xu Jin'er and sisters Xu Jinye and said, "Come here."
The two people stopped and walked over side by side with slender waists. They were both wearing lotus-coloured skirts, with two pretty young girls' buns, white teeth and red lips, beautiful eyebrows and clear eyes, although they have not yet grown.
, but her pink lips are as deep as cherry blossoms, and her eyebrows are as light as willows. They are all petite, cute, and young.
The two sisters first gave a blessing and then said with a smile: "Congratulations to the older man, congratulations to the older man."
Yang Lin patted his thigh, and the two of them blushed. They walked closer and one of them sat on his lap.
Although these two are Xu Saiyue's little aunts, they are still two or three years younger than her, and their bodies are more immature, as if they would produce water when pinched.
"What happy event?"
Xu Jin'er snuggled up to him, raised her face and said, "Don't you know yet? Madam, she is pregnant!"
When Yang Lin heard this, he thought to himself that the Hu Langzhong from Baicaotang really had two tricks.
He rubbed his two girls with his big hands and said with a smile: "What's all the fuss about, I've known for a long time. The ninety-five Hanzhang, Zhongzheng Yetang, is tied to Jin Zheng. Just count with your fingers, Yun Yao
She was pregnant that day, so she stayed in her room. Otherwise, why do you think I wasn't surprised at all?"
When the two sisters heard this, they were greatly admired. Xu Jin'er was the one who thought quickly and asked shyly: "Da Lang, you can also calculate for us when we can have a baby. Da Lang is so good to us, we also want to give him a baby."
You are giving birth to a baby."
Yang Lin rolled his eyes, and bad thoughts came to him easily. He bit Xu Jinye's earlobe and said something softly.
The two sisters, their faces as bright as Liu Xia's, were as pink as pink. They bit their lower lips and glanced at each other. Then they stood up like they were competing, grabbed their skirts and ran outside.
Yang Lin happily came to Zheng Yunyao's yard. It was already crowded with people, and a group of warblers and swallows surrounded her to ask her for help.
Yang Lin squeezed in. When Zheng Yunyao saw him coming, she lowered her head and smiled shyly, feeling embarrassed.
Not knowing what he thought of, Zheng Yunyao suddenly raised his head and pouted: "You have to come back before the baby is born. If you are late, I will make trouble."
When Yang Lin heard these childish words, he couldn't help laughing and said quickly: "Don't worry, I will be back soon after I go out this time... Well, I will be back soon."
As Yang Lin was talking, he remembered that he might not be able to come back this time.
But at this time, it is obviously not good to tell the truth, so it is better to fool him first and then cajole him later.
