Daxianguan

Chapter 32

Cui Huanzhi nodded repeatedly, secretly thinking that he was indeed a poor student, there was nothing luxurious in this study, even the writing pen was so ordinary that it couldn't be more ordinary, but the halo on the pen holder was like lacquer, obviously it was used for writing all day long, The more you use it, the more traces there will be.

Looking at those books again, they all look like they have been read many times. Although they are old, they are well protected.

At this moment, Cui Huanzhi was startled suddenly.

He saw a painting hanging on the wall.

This painting is definitely not from the hands of a famous artist. It has no signature, but it is an "immigrant" painting, but even if it is an immigrant painting, it may not make Cui Huanzhi like this. deja vu.

"The Picture of Chaoyang Lotus Pond." Cui Huanzhi looked at the title of the painting, and secretly thought that the painting really lived up to its name. Looking at this imported painting, it was like being there, as if he was standing by the lotus pond, watching the rising sun and feeling the warmth. The comfort of the sun shining on the body.

This feeling is almost the same as the picture of the lotus pond at sunset that Sima Weizhen of the Ancheng Military Mansion saw in Yueguan Tower in Ancheng last month.

The same scenery, one is sunrise, the other is sunset, and the feeling of entering the country is the same. Cui Huanzhi is almost sure that these two paintings are from the same hand.

At this moment, Cui Huanzhi was quite surprised. He originally thought that the painting of Yueguan Tower was made by a master of painting, but at this moment, this guess was obviously wrong.

Cui Huanzhi really wanted to find out about this matter, so he pointed to the painting on the wall and asked, "Is this painting made by Xiaoyou?"

Chu Xian naturally didn't know that Cui Huanzhi had seen the paintings he sold to Yueguanlou, so he nodded immediately: "Drawing randomly in my spare time, I thought it was good, so I hung it up, which made my husband laugh."

What a joke!

Cui Huanzhi frowned. He couldn't draw this painting by himself. You know, painters who can draw inbound and outbound paintings are not able to draw inbound and outbound paintings every time. It also needs opportunities and inspiration, and strength alone is not enough .It's like throwing a stone into a well ten feet away, not every time you can throw it into it, and those painters who haven't reached the entry level can't even see the well, let alone throw it in.

Calculating in this way, then the painting of Yueguan Tower should also be painted by Chu Xian.Looking at the situation of the Chu family, they were poor and poor, and their mother was seriously ill. In other words, it was very likely that Chu Xian was selling paintings to save his mother.

"I still don't know how to address you sir." Chu Xian asked at this time.

"Oh, my surname is Cui." Cui Huanzhi only said his surname, and then saw a book on national policy, picked it up to read it, and said at the same time: "Little friend also read national policy and politics?"

"The township examination is required, so I know a little bit." Chu Xian was modest.

"Then I'll test you." Cui Huanzhi was not polite, he thought for a while and said: "I don't talk about empty talk, I don't talk about the overall situation, just talk about a county, where the people are poor and the officials are poor, and there are no rich households. Although the bandits live in poverty, the folk customs are simple and they support the government. The local officials also love the people like sons and daughters, and even the officials use their salaries to help poor families. On the contrary, the surrounding areas are rich. Let me ask you, what do you think? , how should the poor land be governed?"

This question is already a bit esoteric. Cui Huanzhi thought of taking Chu Xian's test, because ordinary students may not be able to answer this question well, but if they are amazing talents in that subject, they will definitely be able to answer it well.

Chu Xian smiled, and said almost without thinking, "It should be broken before it can be erected."

"What is breaking and then erecting?" Cui Huanzhi's heart skipped a beat.

Chu Xiandao: "There are three reasons for poverty. One is land poverty, which is a remote and dangerous place. It is difficult for outsiders to enter, and it is difficult for oneself to get out. The second is poverty. , either the corrupt officials are causing harm to the village, or the officials are not doing their job, and the government is lazy. And I heard what my husband said, the surrounding area is rich, but they are poor, so the first type can be ruled out. In my opinion, The second type and the third type are all taken up, so first remove the lazy officials and replace them with regular ones, and then move half of the people to the surrounding counties, and at the same time relocate the surrounding people to change the atmosphere of laziness. It will take less than two years , this place is no different from the surrounding counties.”

This answer, Cui Huanzhi nodded repeatedly. Although the method was radical, it has to be said that the problem can be solved once and for all.

I have to say that this Chu Xian has two brushes, so Cui Huanzhi is very satisfied.

"Then I'll ask again." Cui Huanzhi suddenly had a thought, and said, "If there is a place where there are rumors of collusion between officials and officials, the atmosphere is smoky, and even the local censor is killed bizarrely, but there is no evidence. Conclusion, if you think about it, there must be ironclad evidence, this matter will trigger the whole body, if you go to investigate this case, tell me, if you want to open the situation, how should you do it?"

Cui Huanzhi stared at Chu Xian, wanting to see how Chu Xian would respond.

As a result, Chu Xian thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Sir, this question is already a matter of inspection, not politics, so it's off topic."

Cui Huanzhi blushed suddenly. Just now he had a whim, so he asked the problem he encountered now. He wanted to see how Chu Xian, who had written one subject and five skills, would deal with it. After coming out, Cui Huanzhi regretted it.

There are too many secrets in this kind of thing, let alone a student with no official career experience, even if it is me, I am helpless?
If this matter is easy to do, I don't need such a headache.

"That's all, just asking casually on a whim, don't think too much about it." Cui Huanzhi waved his hand and said: "Okay, let's rest and drink the water, it's time to go."

After speaking, he walked out, but as soon as he reached the door, Cui Huanzhi turned his head to look at the painting in the study, and said: "I also like to collect paintings on weekdays. I like this painting, my friend. I don't know if I can sell it. For me? Don't worry, Yinliang will satisfy you, little friend."

Chu Xian intentionally showed surprise, but still said generously: "If Mr. Cui likes it, just take it. The literati let the painting, and talking about money is vulgar."

"Really give it to me?" Cui Huanzhi smiled.

Chu Xian nodded: "I will really see you off."

So, when Cui Huanzhi went out, he already had an extra painting in his hand.

Li Yanji outside the door took the finished painting, and Cui Huanzhi said, "Yan Ji, do you think that Chu Xian is the person I'm looking for?"

Before entering the door, he asked Li Yanji the same question, and now he asked it again when he was going out, but Li Yanji didn't feel surprised at all, and even took it for granted.

Then Li Yan Jizai thought about it carefully, and said: "He has strong qi and blood, and he has obviously practiced martial arts. Although he is not in the acquired state of refining body and essence, he is not far behind. At his age, this family background , It is really not easy to cultivate to this level. As for the others, the adults see it more thoroughly than I do, so I won’t say much about it.”

Although he only talked about martial arts, Li Yanji already praised Chu Xian a lot. Of course, Cui Huanzhi could hear this.

Why is he not like this.

This time he came, absolutely no one knew beforehand, so what he saw and heard would not be false. Chu's mother was weak and sick, and Chu Xian took care of him alone, out of filial piety.Although the house is barren, there are many books in the study room, and even the most valuable things of the Chu family are in the study room. It can be seen that the family style is very good, far better than those wealthy people by a hundred times.

Not only Chu Xian, but his mother is also very eloquent. She is definitely a woman who has read books and understands things. If it weren't for this, she would not be able to teach such a shockingly talented son.

In addition, Chu Xian is good at drawing Taoism and knows how to govern the world. As for strategy, the answer sheet of the township examination has already explained the problem.

　Thanks to the brothers for their rewards. If you want to add more, the eggplant has the cheek to delay it for a few more days, and allow me to accumulate a few more chapters for the manuscript.
