Chapter 303 Paper Poetry and Wine

"Good wine, good wine." Shi Tao loves wine the most, picks up the bowl to smell the smell, check its color, and sips it. "When you drink this wine, you almost forget where you are."

"Tulips in Lanling wine, amber light from jade bowls. But make the owner drunk, I don't know where is another land." Zhou Cang remembered another famous poem. "Everyone, please!"

"Wine is good, poetry is better. Only when you see Mr. Do you know how big the world is." Cui Jun was taken aback. "Mr. Poetry is easy to master, and it is a matter of course, without any chiseling spirit. It will create a new style for today's literary world!"

Li Taibai's poems are of course good poems. "Congratulations, congratulations. Although grain wine is banned in Xuzhou, private brewing is not included. If the three gentlemen are willing to stay in Xuzhou for a long time, I can promise to give you a jar of fine wine every month."

The three of them looked at each other, could it be that the three jars of wine wanted to keep themselves?Xuzhou banned grain wine, but this person can still get it, it is definitely not easy, he must be a famous person in Xuzhou.It's a pity that I came in a hurry and didn't ask Zhou Chong about the talents in Xuzhou.

"I don't know who else in Xuzhou is as talented as Brother Wei?"

"Writing and writing, small skills, economics and the people are the great way, Guangling Chen Deng and Chen Yuanlong can be the master. If it is passed on to teach and solve doubts, Sun Qian and Sun Gongyou can be the master. Compilation of scriptures and classics is the master of Guan Ning." Zhou Cang said, "Unfortunately, after the chaos of Lu Bu and Liu Bei in Xuzhou in the early stage, many talented people went to foreign lands. Zhang Hong, Zhang Zigang, Zhang Zhao and Zhang Zibu are now in Jiangdong. If Xuzhou has long-term stability, it will surely attract more heroes and righteous men."

Zhou Cang turned around and said, "Mr. Zhouping is originally from Boling and lives in Jingzhou. Why don't you come to Xuzhou?"

Zhou Cang's words made the three of them unable to keep calm anymore, the other party actually knew that Cui Jun's alias was Zhouping, and he was from Boling!In other words, the details of the three of them have already been known by this person who claims to be Wei Guo.Could it be that Zhou Chong sent the message?
Cui Jun was about to ask a question when he heard the sound of horseshoes approaching from far to near. He raised his eyes to see that a group of five people were hurrying towards this direction on horseback.

Dian Wei and Sun Da went up to meet them, five of them got off their horses, and after chatting with them a few words, they got off their horses and ran over, one dressed as a servant with two parcels on his back.

"My lord, I'm so happy, so happy." The person in front of me said repeatedly, regardless of the people around Zhou Cang.It was Chen Jiao, Mi Zhu, Zhang Jin and Yang Rui.

Master?There is only one person who is called the lord in Xuzhou!The identity of the person in front of him is ready to be revealed.Xuzhou Mu, Zhou Cang!
"I don't know that Mr. Zhou is here, I'll be rude." Cui Jun and the three hurriedly stood up and saluted, Meng Jian was unhappy: You invited us here, why didn't you meet our real faces when I heard our names.

Zhou Cang smiled and said: "Don't be too polite, isn't it better to speak freely like just now? It's not that I deliberately hide it, I'm originally Weiguo." Zhou Cang still didn't forget to explain that it's not a good thing to be cherished by scholars. The more a scholar cares about these details, the more he will never forget them, as if you have stolen his dignity.

Meng Jian's heart skipped a beat, yes, Zhou Cang's name is Weiguo.Why didn't I think of it?
"Your Majesty has official duties, and I will avoid them." Cui Jun said, the son of the Taiwei still knew how to dodge, pulling the other two away.

"It's okay, it's not considered official business." Zhou Cang said, and after speaking, he introduced Cui Jun and Chen Jiao to each other. "It just so happens that you are here to give some advice."

Cui Jun and the others were surprised again, no way, it's too early for me to give opinions on Xuzhou's official affairs.Chen Jiao, the head of the Criminal Law Department, Mi Fang, the head of the Tuntian Department, Zhang Jin, the head of the commercial firm, all three of them are important ministers in Xuzhou. It must be a big deal to meet Zhou Cang together. The three of them looked at each other, a little embarrassed.

"Ji Bi, is it possible to make paper?" Zhou Cang turned to ask Chen Jiao.

"Exactly, exactly 20 days, and finally lived up to my lord's expectations. My lord, please take a look." Chen Jiao took the package from his entourage and opened it. "According to the master's code, there are three kinds of raw materials for selection: this is rattan paper made of rattan bark, the paper is fine and smooth, white as jade, and does not leave ink. This is straw paper made of straw, yellow in color and rough in texture , difficult to write on. This paper is made of mulberry bark, with fine texture, white color, light and soft."

Chen Jiao took out his pen and ink again, "Please try it, my lord."

"Haha, okay, okay." Zhou Cang picked up the pen and handed it to Cui Jun, "Mr. Zhouping, would you like to give it a try?"

It turned out to be paper!The three of Cui Jun were taken aback again, they encountered unexpected things one after another when they came to Xuzhou, it was simply unimaginable.Each piece of paper was about one foot square, and the three of them stretched out their hands to caress it. It's a good thing. The texture is obviously much better than that of Caihou paper, a little thinner and more delicate.

Sun Da quickly prepared the desk and ground it carefully.

"It's better to be respectful than obedience." Cui Jun was already eager to try, and immediately wrote on the three kinds of paper with splashes of ink: Please go elsewhere for promotion and fortune.Those who are greedy for life and afraid of death should not enter this door.Worry about the world's worries first, and enjoy the world's joys later. "happy!"

"These three are indeed as Mr. Ji Bi said. When it comes to writing, I still prefer mulberry bark." Cui Jun said bluntly, "There is no one before, Zhou Shijun deserves it! After Cai Hou made paper, no one has improved it. , Only Zhou Shijun regards this as a major event, and there are three directors to supervise it, which shows that Zhou Shijun attaches great importance to it! Blessed are the scholars in the world!" Cui Jun bowed deeply to Zhou Cang again.

Shi Tao and Meng Jian also took up pens to write and praised the mulberry paper.Meng Jian suddenly had the idea of ​​testing Zhou Cang again.

"Why don't Mr. Zhou give it a try?"

"Okay, I'll give it a try too."

While Zhou Cang was still writing something, Meng Jian said again: "Just now the envoy Zhou wrote a poem about Lanling wine, why don't you write a poem about grape wine?"

Is this revenge for not revealing your identity?Literati really hold grudges, which is a headache.Think this is going to stump me?
Zhou Cang wrote: Grape wine.When Meng Jian saw these four words, he grinned. The words are not bad. It was Lanling fine wine just now, but now it is grape fine wine. Isn't there anything new?It seems that Zhou Cang's knowledge is nothing more than that.

However, he then saw Zhou Cang write the next few lines: Luminous cup, if you want to drink the pipa, immediately urge it.Lord Grim drunk on the battlefield, how many people fought back in ancient times?

"Good poem, good poem!" Cui Jun yelled again, "Although it is written about fine wine, it also talks about famous soldiers laughing about life and death, and seeing death as home. It is quite different from the previous one, and it is more heroic and ambitious!"

"I have heard for a long time that Xuzhou Zhou Shijun is both civil and military, and he is quick-witted. It is better to be famous than to meet!" Meng Jian was convinced this time, "In my opinion, if the envoy abandons martial arts and pursues literature, he will definitely become the Big Dipper of Mount Tai."

"Drunk lying on the battlefield, Jun Moxiao, how many people fought back in ancient times? The man should be like this!" Sun Damo's recitation aroused Dianwei's dissatisfaction. Why is it wine, not his Lanling wine? Why is Lanling wine becoming a foreign land? .

"How much does this paper cost?" Zhou Cang asked Chen Jiao.With this question, Cui Jun's evaluation of Zhou Cang has been raised by another level. "How many craftsmen are needed for manufacturing?"
