Of course, Gao Yue would not ask such questions at the scene, but when he passed the genealogy delivered by Bai Jigeng indirectly, he couldn't help but breathe.

The glorious history of Bai Juyi and his family was written in a dignified manner, but after Gao Yue read it, he only shook his head in secret.

In reality, he was originally named Gao Ziyang, but later he pretended to be a student Gao Yue, so he had a family in Bohai Gao. However, the reason why he can now be in a high position is to master the clear historical process, he has also joined many personal struggles. The literary giants of the Middle Tang Dynasty, whether Han Yu or Bai Juyi, have a bad habit of climbing the clan and forcibly finding a glorious ancestor's county for themselves, but this cannot be entirely blamed, because of the social atmosphere at that time.

Bai Jigeng wrote: His ancestors were "the Mi surname of Bai, who was the Duke of Chu. The ancestor was the son of the Crown Prince of Xiongju of Chu. He called himself Bai Gong, and was later killed by the King of Chu. Bai Gong's son fled to Qin and was famous generals for generations, such as Bai Yibing, which was passed down to Bai Qi, Wu'an Jun (yes, Bai Juyi and his family also regarded Bai Qi as their ancestor). After Bai Qi was wrongly killed, the First Emperor admired his merits and conferred one of his sons Bai Zhong in Taiyuan. After twenty-seven generations, he was sent to the Northern Qi Dynasty. During the Northern Qi Dynasty, the Five Military Secretary Bai Jian was proclaimed to be named Sikong, and then passed down in a series of things." Until Bai Jigeng.

It was all fabricated news, Gao Yue thought to himself.

After all, he had copied a large number of epitaphs with Wu Cailuan and was actually very clear about the past sources of each surname. Because the family traceability is an indispensable highlight in each epitaph: the Bai family of the Central Plains recognized his ancestors as the Ji family of the Zhou royal family, namely the princes Yu State. After the Yu State was destroyed by Jin State, his prince Baili Xi (a character in Chinese textbooks named after his fief of Baili) fled to Qin State, and his son was Xiqishu, Bai Yibing, and Bai Yibing was the true ancestor of the Bai family, and Bai Qi was also his descendant.

So these two statements are inconsistent with each other. I am afraid he can't tell whether Bai Juyi's family is a descendant of the surname Mi or Ji. However, this kind of "genealogy" that has been experiencing turbulent years and can still reach zero and flat, and 90% of them are fake!

However, his family is likely to be from the royal family of Kucha Kingdom in the Western Regions. When Ban Chao first visited the Western Regions, he supported the King of Kucha Kingdom named Bai Ba. Bai's surname originated from a mountain called Baishan in his country. Since then, the "Bai Dynasty" of Kucha Kingdom has lasted for nearly seven hundred years (now in the era where Gao Yue is located, the Bai Dynasty has not yet been destroyed, and it is still a vassal of the Tang Dynasty and is the location of the four towns of Anxi). He has many descendants, and there may be one, or one of them is called Kucha Bai, who moved to the Central Plains during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, which is unknown.

Thinking of this, Gao Yue looked at Bai Juyi, the second son of Bai Jigeng, between the tables, and looked at his appearance. He did look like Aryan with a high nose and deep eyes. He was a handsome young man.

Bai Jigeng was still chatting there. Sometimes he said that my Emperor Gaozu Bai Jian had served Northern Qi, which was considered to have a deep connection with your Gao family. Then he said that you donated money to Princess Lingxu to build the Wu'an Jun Temple in Xianyang. I was really grateful. After I took office, I decided to take time to worship my ancestors (after all, Bai Qi was also arranged).

At this time, Gao Yue responded to a few words and then turned to the official topic. He said to Bai Jigeng: "There are not many household registrations in Fengzhou, but there is river irrigation and Chencang Road passing by. The rural and commercial commerce have great potential. Benyin had previously migrated thousands of Sheshi soldiers to camp in the state. In addition to planting rice and wheat, he mainly planted cotton."

"Cotton, cotton?" Bai Jigeng was a little surprised. He hadn't heard of this thing before.

The three Bai brothers during the meal were also shocked.

Gao Yue laughed and then asked the judge Wei Ping to take out a green bamboo tube from the box next to him.

The bamboo is made in Yangzhou, and the barrel made of it is quite beautiful and durable.

Then Gao Yue personally walked to Bai Jigeng, uncovered the bamboo tube, and took out a piece of cloth from inside.

"This is the cotton cloth woven by the insider." Gao Yue introduced, and then he was very enthusiastic, "Guanglun, Lotte, Zhideng, you can also come and touch it."

It was only then that Bai Juyi saw that the Xing Yuanyin had woven the casual clothes he had worn before with this kind of cotton cloth!

He reached out and touched it. The fabric was soft, the texture was delicate, and it was very warm. It must be quite comfortable to wear on the body and can also keep the cold.

Gao Yue was very proud and said that this year, Fengxiang and Xingyuan had grown cotton in many acres of land, and now they were spinning cloth. For a time, various prefectures and counties were popular. Soon, the cotton cloth purchased and manufactured by the supervisors was sold out. The military government made more than 100,000 yuan in profits. Next year, this imperial court was preparing to expand the cotton fields, not only to meet the needs of the two government troops and people, but also to sell them to the capital, Hedong, and even the Uighurs for a long time.

"Guanglun, tell me what your future ideal is?" At this time, Gao Yue gave the fine cotton cloth in the barrel to Bai Jigeng, and then suddenly asked the Bai family elder brother Bai Youwen.

"I am the eldest son of my family, and I hope to inherit my father's teachings, become an official as soon as possible, and shine on the clan." Bai Youwen replied with a sigh (Bai Youwen was not awarded the Fuliang County Captain until middle age, and died shortly after taking office).

Gao Yue nodded and asked Bai Juyi the same question with a smile.

Bai Juyi said: "I hope to study literature carefully, assist the sage king, and correct the world."

Gao Yue laughed and said, "What Lotte said means that you will become a phase in the future by relying on lyricism?"

Bai Juyi smiled embarrassedly, but did not deny it, after all, the young man's heart.

(In history, Bai Juyi was admitted to the Hanlin Academy, and the bachelors also included Li Jifu, Pei Ye, Li Jiang, Wei Ji Duke, and Cui Qun. These five were successively appointed as prime ministers, but Bai Juyi never joined the school of the Central Secretariat, so he wrote "Six bachelors at the same time, five majors and one fisherman" and he was ridiculed by him)

Finally, Gao Yue asked Bai Xingjian again, "Zhi Chuan (Bai Xingjian's name is Zhi Chuan), so what do you do?"

Bai Xingjian said, "The boy dare not have any extravagant expectations. He hopes to take Dayin as a legend as an example, and only hopes to use articles to revive the world and advise people in the future."

"You kid, it's fine to write in the future. Don't think I don't know that the famous one is your work? It's also a worldly world." Gao Yue complained in his heart.

After asking, Gao Yue sat down and sighed, "If you want to become an official, you must enter Chang'an City to take the Jinshi exam. After you pass the imperial examination, you must also know that Chang'an is a place with rice, pearls, and firewood. How many officials have white hair and mustards, and they can't prepare a house. Lotte's name is Juyi, but Chang'an is actually not easy!"

The meaning of this statement is very obvious. Gao Yue has to study the three sons of the Bai family to see if he can gain a foothold in Chang'an City in the future.

Bai Jigeng hurriedly said to his second son with a wink: "You will belong to your family's poems and essays. Take it out and show it. You must know that you will be appreciated by Gao Dayin. You will be able to win the Jinshi."

Bai Juyi, who understood it, hurriedly stepped forward and prepared to present his carefully prepared "Farewell to the Ancient Grass Grass" to Gao Yue.
