Tang Dynasty Mingyue Song Dynasty Pass

Chapter 173 Might Be About Him

In Han Xizai's impression, the Bai family has been suppressed by the Ding family. It is said that Ding Yuexi has united with several major families to suppress the Bai family in today's tribute selection meeting, and the situation is in danger.

When asked about it at this time, Gao Yuan actually said that the Bai family was doing very well, which surprised him.

"The thing is like this..." Gao Yuan succinctly described the scenes that happened at today's tribute selection meeting, including how Ding Yuexi ran against the Bai family, how Bai Susu finally came back, and came up with one novelty after another. , completely reversed the situation.

"Soap, mosquito repellent toilet water, high-purity spirits, blue and white porcelain, these things are unheard of before, and they were all produced by the Bai family in a short period of time?" Han Xizai suddenly fell into surprise, and he really couldn't figure it out. How to do it!

"But if the Bai family had been researching these new things before, it would be impossible to come up with them all of a sudden until now. Could it be that the Bai family has expert help?" Han Xizai muttered to himself, and suddenly, a young man appeared in his mind. faces come.

"Could it be him?" Han Xizai was suspicious in his heart, expecting it to be him, but also feeling unbelievable.

According to Gao Yuan, any of these new things can generate a lot of profit. If they are produced together, the rise of the Bai family's business will be unstoppable.

If Su Chen really helped the Bai family to develop these new products, then Su Chen is not just a genius, but an important weapon of a country!

If Su Chen can develop more new commodities, circulate them in the world, and become valuable or necessary items, the large and small official workshops of the Tang Kingdom will be put into production, and foreign export trade will be expanded. , Earn back more coins and supplies, then the Tang country's economy can be stabilized.

"Mr. Han, what are you thinking?" Seeing his dazed expression, Gao Yuan frowned for a while and was surprised for a while, and couldn't help asking.

Han Xizai sighed: "You don't know, the Bai family has been run over by the Ding family and several big families for a while, and it is already in crisis, and it will decline at any time, but these few new things revealed today have brought the Bai family back to life. , It's clear, I suspect that the changes in the Bai family are actually related to one person."

Gao Yuan became even more curious: "Oh, who is it?"

Han Xizai firmly said a person's name: "Su Chen!"

Gao Yuan was stunned and said, "Su Chen? This name is so familiar!"

Han Xizai explained: "Su Chen, named Yixuan, Su Yixuan's talent is famous, you should have heard of it in Jinling."

"Jiangzuo talented Su Yixuan?" Gao Yuan was startled.

He also heard Su Yixuan's name in the Jinling scholar forest, because several of his poems and essays were spread in Jinling and were very popular among the people. Many scholars couldn't put it down. She stayed with Ye Chen, the last Jinshi Tanhua, and wrote an extremely free and expressive peach blossom poem, which pushed her fame to a very high position in the literary world.

Shilin scholars began to regard Su Yixuan as the number one talented person in Jiangzuo.

Gao Yuan met Xu Kai before, and heard Su Chen's name from him, but only once. Su Yixuan's name was obviously more resounding and spread more widely.

"Isn't he a genius? How does he know these strange craftsman's skills?" Gao Yuan was a little puzzled.

Han Xizai explained: "To be honest, my dog ​​Yunpeng has a very close relationship with Su Chen. I heard that he often likes to investigate things and study some small things in his own home. Maybe he researched soap and blue and white porcelain for Help the Bai family get out of crisis."

Gao Yuan was a little strange, and asked, "Then why does Mr. Su support the Bai family so much?"

Han Xizai stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Because Su Chen and Bai Susu have a marriage contract, which was made by Su Mingyuan and the elders of Bai's family back then. Although it was nothing later, but recently Su Chen and Bai Susu have been walking around frequently and have a close personal relationship. According to Gouzi, The two of them started a business together, presumably this soap and other things."

Gao Yuan was dumbfounded when he heard it, and after digesting Han Xizai's speculation, he said slowly: "If this is true, this Su Chen's talent will be even greater."

Han Xizai also couldn't help sighing, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, "Yes, if he is just a talented person who can write poetry, it will be of no benefit to us in the Tang Dynasty. It is so important, after all, Li Bai and Du Fu in the previous dynasty have no achievements in politics, and they are not expected to be chancellors, so they are of no use in politics."

"In addition to writing poetry, Su Chen is also proficient in medical skills, good at writing legendary stories, and is pragmatic and steady. He is different from other boastful talents in Jiangnan. This old man feels that this is a practical talent. Once we confirm Su Chen It is the researcher of these new items, then this person, we must be brought into the court."

Gao Yuan was a little surprised and said, "Oh, Mr. Han plans to recommend him as an official?"

Han Xizai sighed softly: "That's right, the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Industry are the most suitable places for him to display his talents. If he can develop many new things, they can be produced in the official workshop of the imperial court, and foreign trade can earn a lot of money and strategy. Supplies make up the national treasury, and the country is rich and the people are strong, so my country of Tang can still continue to compete with the country of Song in the north!"

Gao Yuan nodded and said: "What Elder Han said is reasonable. If Su Chen can really understand so many skills besides his talent in poetry, then this person would be rare."

However, Han Xizai hesitated and said: "However, this son seems unwilling to become an official. He has not even finished his studies in Runzhou Prefecture. He is currently a student. I have been thinking about how to persuade him to take the imperial examination. Pass the prefectural examination, and then go to Jinling City to take the provincial examination. If you are selected as a Jinshi on the Jinbang, you can be an official in the Six Departments after staying in the Imperial Academy for two years. Only when you are accepted by the Shilin can you really integrate into this circle. After all Young people who are not born in the imperial examination will have a hard time entering the Tang Dynasty."

Gao Yuan felt strange and asked, "He doesn't like being an official? Is there a reason?"

Han Xizai said: "Perhaps it has something to do with his family situation. A few years ago, his father Su Mingyuan was involved in the sudden death of the crown prince and was sentenced to death in prison by the late emperor. So far, no one knows whether Su Mingyuan is a member of the Song party, or just blamed."

Gao Yuan became suspicious and said: "The prince suddenly fell ill at that time, Su Mingyuan was the only imperial physician who diagnosed and wrote down the prescription, but within a day, the prince died suddenly, and the cause of death became a mystery. The first emperor was furious and decisively attacked the Song party. Qiu was dismissed from office, and Chen Jue and others ordered him to die, which must have something to do with the Song Party, and Imperial Physician Su also died in prison at that time."

Han Xizai said: "If Su Mingyuan really took the opportunity to poison, or intentionally caused the prince to die suddenly, I am afraid that the old and young of the Su family will not be spared. If there is no conviction for copying and beheading, it may not be the doctor Su who caused the death."

Gao Yuan shook his head and sighed softly: "Things in the palace are weird and complicated. This matter was deliberately covered up by the late emperor. I'm afraid there will be no answer."

Han Xizai said: "Since Su Chen is not the guilty person announced by the court, there is no need for us to overturn the old case, we just need to bring him into the official career. Tomorrow, the old man will invite him to my residence, and we will have a banquet together, and you will see him face to face." At first glance, let's find a way to mention him together, realize the importance of becoming an official, and join our camp, so that this pearl cannot be dusted."

"If he insists on refusing, it's useless to persuade him!" Gao Yuan said with a wry smile.

Han Xizai pondered for a while, then said with a half-smile: "Then we can only use some dirty tricks to force him to submit!"
