Chapter 420 Evaluation
"Okay, okay, really good." Sun Yuanhua was moved and sighed: "There is no such practice in the capital and Liao Town..."
Wang Debang said proudly: "We have said that no matter how expensive the artillery is, it is a weapon for soldiers. You cannot regard it as a treasure. Weapons are weapons..."
"What a great Zhang Wenlan, his knowledge is really extraordinary..."
Sun Yuanhua was amazed and moved.
"Sun Chuyang, what are you talking about..." Kong Minxing was a little amused and cried, and said loudly: "The Zhang Wenlan you praised is here, are you still here to meet?"
"Oh?" Sun Yuanhua then woke up. He was the first-class smart man. He was a little out of control in front of his beloved items. He walked over calmly, looked at Zhang Han a few times, clasped his fists and bowed, and smiled: "It's better to meet than to be famous than to meet. It's better to listen to what Wen Lan's subordinates say. See what they do. After taking a look here, the students have determined what kind of person Wen Lan is."
Zhang Han smiled and said, "What is the judgment of Brother Chuyang?"
Sun Yuanhua said: "The capable ministers in governing the world, and the heroes in troubled times."
Kong Minxing, Li Shenming and others changed their expressions when they heard this. Kong Minxing sternly said: "Chuyang, what are you talking nonsense? How can you apply this to Wen Lan!"
Sun Yuanhua spread his hands and said, "I just felt it because of my feelings, not because I wanted to say that Wen Lan has a different ambition."
Zhang Han's actions were actually to turn the area from Lizhuang to Xinpingbao into a country with the middle of the country. People who have been there for a long time still don't think it's very strange. People who are new to this land can easily feel the difference between this land and other places.
All the strange things can only be attributed to Zhang Han alone, so Sun Yuanhua said this.
Zhang Han also shook his head slightly. No wonder Sun Yuanhua has ended up in history. Such a genius is extremely smart and has a sharp feeling, but his political emotional intelligence is too low... I can say this just now? At least, I can't say it in front of Zhang Han!
"I really don't dare to take this from Brother Chuyang." Zhang Han said carefully: "I am just a businessman, how can I compare me with Wei Wu... And when the Yuedan rating was the son of the aristocratic family, they were all judged by the common people. The common people were not qualified... With my identity, in the late Han Dynasty and the Wei and Jin Dynasties, I was only given military rations. If I didn't do it, Wei Wu would borrow heads to calm the anger of the army..."
"Hahaha……"
Everyone in the field couldn't help laughing.
Only then did everyone remember Zhang Han’s identity as a merchant. In the era of extremely important family members in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, even if Zhang Han was resurrected by Guan Zhong and Sun Wu, it was probably impossible for Zhang Han to have some charity. Take the Ming Dynasty as an example. Although the discrimination and suppression of merchants have been relaxed a lot in recent years, it is impossible to say what big things a businessman can do or have a different ambition...
On such an occasion, Zhang Han certainly could not talk to Kong Minxing. He asked someone to prepare food and drinks and invited these people from the capital to have a banquet with Kong Minxing.
"These guys are here to observe the farming work here..." Kong Minxing introduced: "This is Xu Erjue, Erdou. These two brothers are both my master's grandson. They are now Tongsheng. This is Chen Zilong, whose courtesy name is Wozi, and is also Tongsheng. Unfortunately, the hospital examination has not been taken. After hearing this, the master of the family asked him to go out to relax. He happened to hear that I was helping with it here, so Wozi rushed here..."

Zhang Han looked at Chen Zilong as if he was only thirteen or fourteen years old, but his eyes were flashing with a flash of inspiration. He looked as usual when facing a person like him. When he introduced him, he bowed gently. He was very considerate in courtesy, but he was full of arrogance in his bones.
Zhang Han also knew the person in front of him... a member of Donglin Fushe, the founder of several clubs, an outstanding among Donglin juniors, and one of Xu Guangqi's last disciples. Six years later, Xu Guangqi passed away, and the entire book of Agricultural Affairs had not been completely revised and completed. The follow-up work was done by Chen Zilong, and finally printed and published throughout the world. Chen Zilong made great contributions.
In Zhang Han's opinion, Chen Zilong's lifelong achievements were not the achievements in exams, nor his widely praised poetry level, but his tireless pursuit in agriculture.
At this time, Chen Zilong was just a young boy. Even if he was Xu Guangqi's disciple, Zhang Han didn't have to pay too much attention. He raised his wine glass and sipped it lightly, even if he knew each other.
"The wine and food are not bad..." Li Shenming is the best at making friends with others. He lit the chopsticks and introduced: "The silverfish was caught in the Nanyang River and made egg custard. The hand-held mutton is boiled in water without seasoning. The meat is delicate and fat. With dipping sauce, it tastes the best... "
Today's dishes are mostly northern specialties. For example, hand-held mutton is made of lamb transported from Qingcheng. The mutton is delicate and fat, and roasted lamb hooves and other dishes are also special products in the North. A few fish are specially made. Xu Guangqi's disciples' families or students are mostly from Songjiang Prefecture, and they are also specially treated to them.
"Thank you for your hospitality..." Chen Zilong was so drunk that he showed a drunken look on his face, and said with his tongue: "I heard that a large-scale trial of sweet potatoes has begun. My teacher has "Sweet Potato Shrimp". I think my brother has made some contributions. I am not talented in my late child. I want to take a look at it. There is also a mixed set of corn. I want to study it even if I want to study it..."
"Just call me Wen Lan," Zhang Han smiled and said, "Of course you can do whatever you want, and you can see whatever you want."
This time, not only Sun Yuanhua, but also Xu Erjue and Xu Erdou brothers, and Chen Zilong and others, were the best among the disciples of Xu Guangqi's disciples. Two legitimate grandsons who were less than 20 years old also followed. From this, Kong Minxing must have said a lot of good things about Li Zhuang in his correspondence with Xu Guangqi.
Xu Guangqi's knowledge of heaven and man throughout his life was the greatest achievement recognized by people at that time was still in the calendar. Of course, it was also because he was not valued by the court with agriculture and mathematics. Because his mathematical talent was outstanding, Xu Guangqi was added to the Ministry of Rites and participated in the maintenance service during the Chongzhen period. However, the greatest reliance of the old minister of Chongzhen was that Xu Guangqi recompiled a Chongzhen calendar, and praised Xu Guangqi for the success of this calendar.
However, in Xu Guangqi's heart, what he never forgets throughout his life is his many agricultural works.
It would be fine if there was something else here in Lizhuang. When I heard that it was a farming industry, I wonder how many Xu family members would come one after another?
For Zhang Han, farming is also very important, but the achievements of the Xu family's disciples in manufacturing military weapons and mathematical geometry are also worthy of his attention.
The only shame is that it is really too difficult to win over these people in front of you now.
Chen Zilong and others were unable to drink and left the seat early. Kong Minxing said to Zhang Han: "Wenlan has been looking for him all the way, of course, not to see Sun Chuyang and Chen Wozi. What's wrong with me? As long as I can help, I will serve you."

"You must be the one who must be..." Zhang Han did not answer first. Li Shenming took a reply first, then said the past, and finally said: "You are familiar with Lao Du, and your status is enough. Except for me, Wen Lan can only go to Xiaozheng, but he really can't leave..."
"Then I'll go." Kong Minxing said: "Although I'm helping Wen Lan in charge of some farming here, it's actually quite different from when we were in Tianjin. Wen Lan provides us with convenience and we can also enrich our teachers' farming books. We have to be responsible for the supply of our family. After all, I still owe Wen Lan..."
Kong Minxing's words were very polite, but Zhang Han could only sigh as he heard it... The more polite he said, the clearer he calculated, the more it means that Kong Minxing really had no chance of staying...
As expected by Zhang Han, Kong Minxing directly rejected Zhang Han's proposal and shook his head gently and said, "Wenlan is indeed a good place to do things. How can I not want to be here? I am not afraid that a few of them will laugh at me. The treatment here also makes me envious in private... However, my mentor has a letter and advised me not to enter the curtain again. The spring examination will be held this year. After helping Wenlan travel to Yansui, I will go to the capital to register for the imperial examination..."
"This is the biggest event." Li Shenming said solemnly: "I can only wish my brother Zhi to become famous in one fell swoop and win the three-legged armor."
The Jinshi is divided into three rankings. The first list is to be awarded the Jinshi. There are only three people, and they are called the No. 1 top scholar Tanhua by the people. They are known as the Three Dingjia. The number of people in the second grade is different. Generally, fifty or sixty people are awarded the Jinshi. The third grade is generally about two hundred people, and they are awarded the same Jinshi.
One must be selected as Hanlin for the first grade, two grades may be admitted to Hanlin, or various ministries, or other government offices. They usually remain as officials in Beijing, and rarely release them. Even if they release them, they are still official seal officials from important prefectures and counties, and they are very noble.
The third-tier 3 are generally middle-aged and remote prefectures, or missed officials. Those who can pass the imperial examination and have great prospects and must not be below the second list. If a Jinshi who wants to become a senior official in the ministry, there is no chance in history of celebrities, but the opportunity is too slim.
The imperial examination is indeed the first major event. Even if everyone prepares a lot of words to persuade Kong Minxing, they can only stop talking. On the contrary, they have to wish him high school.
Kong Minxing smiled bitterly and said, "I have only been paying attention to traveling and farming in recent years. I have been working on articles much less. However, there is still some time. In addition, I will live in the teacher's mansion and ask for advice day and night. I dare not think about the Sandingjia. I just hope that it will be at the end of the second list. It is a lucky thing."
Sun Jingting said: "On the day below the list, we will definitely burn incense and pray for you."
Sun Jingting has a crazy and straightforward personality, and has some dissatisfaction with a gentleman like Kong Minxing. It is only after getting along for a long time that he has a relationship. Kong Minxing is a little moved when he hears it and bows heavily.
Zhang Han resigned and did not ride a horse with Li Shenming and others, but led the horse to walk slowly on the ridge of the field.
The guards around them scattered their protection, but they were not too close to each other. This is the hinterland of Lizhuang, with garrisons around them. The people are also innocent and respectful to Zhang Han enough, so there is no need to look like they are facing a great enemy.
Zhang Han looked at a servant from the steward and asked, "All the sweet potatoes are grown there?"
The man replied, "That's right, Mr. Kong said that planting early spring can be harvested before and after harvesting. There is no need to plant serious large plots of land, just planting the corners of the mountain in front of the house. Sweet potatoes can make up for the shortage of food, leaves can feed livestock, and freshly opened fields are also planted according to his method, saying that they can fertilize the fields..."
