In Chang'an in autumn, there is a little more depression. The withered broad leaves fall in front of the courtyard. The bleak autumn wind swept by, leaving only the bare and remaining branches trembling. So at this time, the sun shines through the remaining branches and falls on the ground, reflecting several afterimages.

Chen Zhengtai couldn't stand the breath of autumn, but he still liked the vibrant spring. When he thought of spring, he thought of his mentor's poems. That poem was so good, really.

In these days, I went to the pigpen to check it out and saw that the pig was much bigger.

The dozens of piglets that were originally handsome and beautiful, looked very strong at first sight. In addition to the excellent bloodline of Rongchang pigs, the other ordinary pigs mixed with sows were castrated.

Castrated pigs have no youth. Without youth means no restlessness, and not restlessness means no meaning in their life. Therefore... they usually eat and sleep and eat! After all, there is a bit of Rongchang pig gene in their bloodline, so... in addition to eating and drinking lazily every day, because they lose the pleasure of human relations, the meat will naturally grow very fast.

What Chen Zhengde does every day is to record the appetite of these castrated pigs and also record their weight.

At first, he didn't feel abnormal, but later, Ma Zhou noticed something. Later, Ma Zhou's performance was very complicated. After all, based on his years of experience in raising horses, he noticed that these pigs were extraordinary.

The weight is growing very fast, and most importantly, the hybrid Rongchang pigs that were castrated are easy to feed.

This is obviously different from ordinary pigs. Ordinary pigs always love to exercise and run around. When this move, their physical strength is exhausted and their meat is gone. They are all pale and thin. The pig in front of them is surprisingly large in size, like a blown ball, and they are just lazy in the pigpen every day, and they are unwilling to move.

After reading the recorded data, Ma Zhou was shocked.

He looked for other domestic pigs to compare, and the pigs he had raised for several months were extremely huge.

So, except for on duty, Ma Zhou devoted himself to the pig.

Chen Zhengde followed Ma Zhou every day, continued to record data, understand each pig's preferences, master their habits, and tried to prepare different pig feeds.

When he recorded the weight of a fat pig named "Lao Wang No. 7" in his book, even he was shocked.

One hundred and seventy-seven kilograms.

The kilograms of the Tang Dynasty were nearly six taels in later generations, that is, almost six hundred grams. Therefore, if converted to the 177 kilograms in later generations, it would be equivalent to two hundred kilograms.

This is only a few months.

When Ma Zhou checked Chen Zhengde's record data, he couldn't help but suspect that he had read it wrong. After the value was reduced, he personally claimed it.

After confirming, Ma Zhou was immediately ecstatic, but then he became worried again, "Who did this pig... have given birth to so much meat, to whom?"

You know, ordinary people have almost no consumption capacity and can't even eat fine grains, let alone eat meat.

But in the wealthy people, they eat sheep. Although the mutton has a fishy smell, it is really many times better than the pigs of this era.

In this era, there were no iron pots. Most of the foods were either roasted or cooked. The so-called cooking was actually cooking. The taste of pork was always weird. Once cooked, it was not even a estuary. If it was noble, it would never eat pork.

But the question is, the master said that this meat is very fragrant and is better than mutton. Does the master have a special hobby?

Thinking of this, Ma Zhou began to doubt it. This benefactor is indeed very strange! Well, after all, it is better not to complain about his kindness, and be a person with a conscience.

Chen Zhengtai on the other side was very sad.

After the imperial examination, he excitedly wrote books to the nine scholars and called them to the mansion to talk to him. After all, they were the first group of students in the school. Yesterday they were proud of the school, and then the school was proud of them.

But then, I never thought that all these nine people replied to their letters, and they all claimed to be sick.

I ri.

Is this what people do?

I have been raising you for two months, and all of them have eaten fat and big ears. I have a lot of heart to you on weekdays. Now you want to run away after you lift your pants?

It's really outrageous. You can't be like this without conscience.

After Chen Zhengtai was so angry that he died, two days later, the court issued a document and was about to release the results.

This announcement was also a suggestion from Chen Zhengtai. The results of the imperial examination were revealed. The results should be lively. Post the royal list so that everyone can watch it. High school students are worth boasting, and those who fail the exam can also be encouraged.

Therefore, the Ministry of Rites formulated the charter, first issued the charter document, and formulated the charter for the release of the charter. The location of the charter was Chengtian Gate!

This gate connects the imperial city and Chang'an, and is the central axis gate that enters and exits the palace. Outside Chengtian Gate, it is the famous Hengjie Street. In the eyes of the world, this Hengjie Street is equivalent to the imperial road. It is open and its location is also prominent. The list here shows the emperor's importance to high school students in various subjects.

The auspicious day has also been selected, and then a eunuch from the palace invited Chen Zhengtai to the Chengtian Gate Tower to watch the ceremony next day.

It turned out that Li Shimin thought the announcement was interesting. There were countless people outside the imperial city watching the list, and Li Shimin would also lead all officials to the imperial city tower and have fun together.

Chen Zhengtai was still thinking about the bet with Li Shimin, and he was silently thinking in his heart, hoping that there was no cheating in history, my Tang Dynasty... Just, fair, and open!

These two days were unbearable. After pinching the days, I finally got to the morning of the next day!

On this day, Chen Zhengtai got up early to wash up, and hurriedly changed into court clothes. The maid who served him was carrying a little baby fat, which was not very good-looking, but her fair hands were very skillful. She fiddled with Chen Zhengtai and dressed up.

The most prominent position in the entire court wardrobe is the belt around the waist. This thing is a belt in later generations, but... this belt has a very powerful function, with many keychains hanging on the belts in later generations, and gold rings hanging on the belts, which are used to hang various objects for carrying objects, such as bows, swords, sashes, calculating bags, knives, and sharpening stones.

Now that we are entering the palace, swords and bows must not be hung in like bb machines, but we still need to step on the sliver of the stones used to slap the fire, the fish bags that show their identity, and the syringes.

It was the early Tang Dynasty, and the atmosphere was quite simple. If some time passed, this thing would lose its practical value. No one brought flints, no one would install swords, guns, bows and arrows. Instead, they replaced them with various gold ornaments and jade to show their wealth.

Chen Zhengtai rode out early in the morning, and Chen Fu hurriedly shouted a few people to follow his entourage. It was still early, so he rode his horse outside the palace gate. Sure enough, he saw many martial arts and civil officials coming. Everyone took out fish talismans to verify their true nature and entered the palace one after another.

Chen Zhengtai followed the crowd and someone behind him slapped Chen Zhengtai on the shoulder. His big hand was like a palm fan, with great force, like a mountain of Tai, which scared Chen Zhengtai to think that he was here to seek revenge. His body shivered and subconsciously wanted to shout.

Looking back, it turns out... the person who came is really here to seek revenge.

But it was the Duke of Iiyama Prefecture Hao Xianggui staring at him and grinning.

Chen Zhengtai calmed down. Before he could react, Hao Xianggui narrowed his eyes, and his eyes flashed with a sharp edge, but said, "It's really hard to find the Duke of Erpigou County."

So Chen Zhengtai said fiercely: "My Tang Dynasty is a place where the law of the kings is discussed. Please respect yourself."

"Of course I respect myself." Hao Xianggui grinned: "I don't dare to hit you, so what are you afraid of? I'm just saying hello to you."

As he said that, he glared at Chen Zhengtai. The so-called enemies were very jealous when they met. Although they could not treat Chen Zhengtai, even though Hao Xianggui is now the governor, he mentioned that he had a machete from the street to the end of the street in the chaotic times. Otherwise, was the title of founding county duke picked up? So he always had a faint murderous aura on his face.

Chen Zhengtai's eyes rolled quickly and said, "I don't know how good Chu Junke is, I miss him very much."

Hao Xianggui grinned and looked straight at Chen Zhengtai, his eyes seemed to be about to be inflamed. He almost couldn't hold back his temper. He wanted to slap Chen Zhengtai's head directly, but he finally held it back and said with a heavy breathing: "No need to worry, my brother has nothing to do with Erpigou County Duke."

As he said, he looked angry.

Chen Zhengtai shrugged and said sadly: "The world misled me so much!"

After saying that, he got into the abortion.

At this time, Li Shimin was already wearing a crown and a black crown dress!

In that city gate tower, there were eunuchs and imperial guards at three steps and one post, five steps and one whistle to wait for the big lord. All officials saluted Li Shimin. Li Shimin smiled and said with a smile: "The imperial examination results are worthy of a grand ceremony. I have been at the top for several years and have worked hard for the state affairs. What I think of is that I hope that there will be more talented people around me to share my worries."

After saying that, he knelt down with great might, and the ministers knelt down one after another.

Zhang Qian poured tea for Li Shimin. Li Shimin took a sip and smiled and said, "Talk about it, do I have a bet?"
