Xishan.
Although it is a cold night, people here no longer feel cold.
Hundreds of large tables are lined up in the work shed, with coal and stone piled everywhere. However, most of the miners and their families are not so particular. There are cages of food with a unique aroma, and everyone is excited and talking to each other. While talking, the women were busy in the kitchen, but the men were all beaming, talking about wages. Some people were making noises about whether Boss Wang's family should hire a teacher.
With wages, there is food to eat and clothing to wear. Not only that, the children have nothing to do all day long, so they have to learn a few words.
Countless people looked in the direction of the capital. On this cold New Year's Eve night, these pairs of longing eyes reflected the light of hope.
Liu Xian, the accountant, had already stood up and said, "Come, have a drink and give a toast to your two benefactors."
Speaking of benefactors, everyone stood up. They were extremely grateful in their hearts. Without these two benefactors, they would have froze to death long ago. But now they can work hard and have a mouthful of food to eat. In other words, it is nothing more than kindness and re-creation!
The wine was not good wine. It was yellow in color and had some turbidity in it. Impurities that had not yet been filtered could be seen with the naked eye, but the wine hit the throat, brought heat, and warmed the whole body.
Many people can¡¯t help but cry secretly when no one is paying attention. The ups and downs of life are natural. But like them, they have encountered countless sufferings and encountered the slightest bit of stability. This kind of feeling is unparalleled by ordinary people.

In the inn.
There was laughter and laughter outside, firecrackers were like thunder, and the flying fireworks burned half of the sky red.
But under this solitary lamp, a faint firelight reflected on Tang Bohu's face.
Tang Bohu limped to the desk in front of the xuan window. The desk looked a little greasy and mottled, and it had all the writing, ink, paper and inkstone on it.
It¡¯s already midnight, and the new year, the twelfth year of Hongzhi, has begun.
He was insulated from the laughter and chatter outside, and he had no intention of admiring the fireworks blooming outside the window. After more than a month, his health got better and he was able to go to the ground. Some time ago, although a doctor came to see him on time, it was no more than the same. He is under house arrest.
All foreign guests are rejected.
And now when he can walk on the ground, although the scars on his face are still there, looking a little ridiculous, it will probably take a month or two to truly heal.
But at this time, Tang Yin had no other thoughts about meeting anyone.
Old friends from the past, friends in Nanzhili, and even Cheng Minzheng, the right minister of the Ministry of Finance, who had fully hoped to visit, was now discouraged and had no intention of making friends.
He was originally a arrogant person, self-reliant on his talents, and proud of the king. If it weren't for the pressure of life, he would go to the point of currying favor with others.
And in his fate, he met Fang Jifan.
He suffered great shame and humiliation.
He knew that there was a huge difference between himself and Fang Jifan, and that he could not repay the grievances and humiliations he had suffered.
Of course there is another way.
That is the pilot test. Not only must the pilot test be carried out, but several of Fang Jifan's disciples must also be trampled under their feet to prevent this thief's conspiracy from succeeding.
So he is awake.
As long as he could still move, he would pick up a book and read without hesitation. He would no longer drink or visit friends because he wanted to avenge his shame.
"A gentleman who has nothing to eat and nothing to live in, who is sensitive to things and careful in his words, is Taoist and upright, and he can be said to be eager to learn"
In this small dark room, the sound of Lang Lang's reading came again.
Even if there are fireworks blooming and laughter outside the window.
¡¡¡¡
The New Year passed quickly. After the holiday, all the officials were still on duty in various ministries.
Emperor Hongzhi looked much more energetic after half a month of rest.
The joy of the new year has not yet passed, Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, Xie Qian, Wang Aoren and others came to see him.
After the ceremony, Emperor Hongzhi smiled and said: "I don't like celebrating the Spring Festival. I feel uncomfortable doing nothing." After saying that, he said to the eunuch beside him: "Have you learned the accounting method?"
The first thing I do at the beginning of the new year is to ask about this accounting method, which shows that His Majesty is serious about this matter.
Most of the ministers in the cabinet, including Wang Ao, knew something about this matter. Many people were amazed and curious. What is the calculation method?
Li Dongyang said: "Your Majesty, I have told Wang Wen'an"
"You haven't gone to learn yet?" Emperor Hongzhi was a little annoyed. For such a thing that would get twice the result with half the effort, did the household department have to teach people to hire eight large sedan chairs to invite him to learn?
Li Dongyang immediately understood His Majesty¡¯s intentions: ¡°Old minister, please urge me again.¡±
"It's not urging!" Emperor Hongzhi said sternly: "The matter is so big that there is no need to urge him. If he can't learn, let's leave it to Wang Wen'an!"
Emperor Hongzhi was really annoyed. It was Wang Wen'an who caused the incident. If he hadn't tore up the book, why would there be so much trouble?
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? You tore up the book, and you went to learn quickly. The result is that this year has passed, and there is no movement at all. What is the use of such a person?
Li Dongyang smiled bitterly in his heart. Wang Wen'an was also a hot-tempered person. He tore up the book and after a while, he was too embarrassed to ask for advice. Li Dongyang didn't know what Wang Wen'an was thinking.
"I understand."
Emperor Hongzhi¡¯s expression just softened, ¡°What is the prince doing in Zhan Shifu?¡±
The eunuch said: "Shi Dao Yang happened to have something to report today, and I asked my slave to bring a message to His Majesty. His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince, was studying 'fireworks' with Fang Jifan early this morning. Shi Dao Yang thought that gunpowder was involved. I'm just afraid of hurting His Highness, so"
"Oh" Emperor Hongzhi thought thoughtfully: "On New Year's Eve, that big firecracker, no, those big fireworks, were set off by Fang Jifan, right?"
"yes."
Emperor Hongzhi shook his head, then glanced at Li Dongyang thoughtfully, nodded: "I understand."
These three short words made Liu Jian and others feel strange. Why is His Majesty not worried at all? Logically speaking, shouldn't someone be scolded? But just saying that I know it in an understatement is really a bit
Li Dongyang, on the other hand, was smiling, but he didn't say anything, as if he had some understanding.
Emperor Hongzhi cheered up: "Spring Festival is about to begin. The time has not changed. It is still scheduled for the ninth, twelfth, and fifteenth day of February. The talent promotion ceremony should not be taken lightly. Let Li Qing's family take charge of the examination." "
Li Qing¡¯s family is naturally Li Dongyang.
This decision seems unexpected.
In the imperial court, there are not many candidates who are qualified to serve as examiners. Liu Jian is one, but he has already presided over the examination. Besides, as the first assistant bachelor, it is impossible to focus on the examination.
As for Xie Qian, Xie Qian was a bit rough-tempered, so he was obviously scheduled to take the exam in the fifteenth year of Hongzhi, because in terms of seniority, Li Dongyang was slightly older.
Wang Ao, on the other hand, was actually a popular candidate. Many people had expected that His Majesty would first let him preside over the Shuntianfu Provincial Examination this time, just to let him practice his skills, and then preside over this year's Spring Festival. After all, Wang Ao was the emperor's master and ascended the throne in Hongzhi. After that, he was immediately transferred to the Ministry of Personnel. This was a sign that he was going to soar to the sky. What he lacked now was exactly the qualifications. If he could preside over a general examination, then his resume would be perfect.
This time, Li Dongyang was appointed, but it was a bit confusing.
Even in the public opinion, many scholars who come to take the exam guess that the examiner of this subject must be Wang Ao. The most popular guess among scholars is the examiner, because the examiner is responsible for setting the questions, and each examiner has different appetites. Everyone has their own preference for writing style. If you can know the examiner's temper in advance, you will have more confidence in the exam. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
