Into Unscientific

Chapter 159 Fan Lou's Experience (6.6K)

To know.

It is only 1100 years now, and there are still 26 years before the Jingkang Incident.

This time is undoubtedly a bit short for curbing the development of Jinren:

Jurchen merged from Wanyan Wugunai into a military tribal alliance more than 20 years ago.

Jurchen's impeachment bowl has been dead for eight years now, Wanyan Aguda has already risen, and it is definitely too late to contain it.

But for a Northern Song official like Zong Ze, it was a bit long.

Follow the normal trajectory.

Zong Ze will serve as magistrate in many places in the next ten years, and he will be promoted to Dengzhou General Judge in about fifteen years, which is a six-rank official position.

Then he begged to retire from his old age and return to his hometown, and he was reinstated and transferred to Bazhou Tongju in 1124.

At that time, 24 years have passed since now.

In other words, it took Zongze 24 years to rise from a magistrate of the seventh rank to a general judge of the sixth rank.

Between the two official ranks, there is only a sixth rank.

For an official of Zongze's ability, this situation is obviously a waste of time.

It's an extremely time-wasting situation.

Therefore, Xu Yun hoped to find a way out of emotion and reason.

Let this national hero walk more smoothly in this timeline.

At least he can have a chance to give full play to his abilities, and avoid the tragedy of the bright moon shining on the ditch again.

And just as Xu Yun was thinking about how to speak, someone patted him on the shoulder from behind:

"Hey, Xiao Wang?"

Xu Yun turned his head and found an acquaintance standing behind him impressively:

Wang Bao.

At this moment, Wang Ting was dressed in casual clothes, and beside him was a person Xu Yun vaguely recognized, who seemed to be very interested.

Seeing this, Xu Yun hurriedly cupped his hands and asked:

"Master Captain? Are you also here to see Cuju today?"

"It's not all about watching the game."

Wang Ting smiled and patted the shoulder of the young man beside him, explaining:

"Today's Xijun ball head is my personal soldier. As the main general, I will naturally be there to cheer."

After hearing this, Xu Yun cast his gaze on the young man.

This young man is tall and well-proportioned, with a dark complexion, and looks quite capable.

Previously, due to the distance between the venue and the audience platform.

Xu Yun's impression of Xijun's ball head is only in terms of technology, but his appearance is not very clear.

But after hearing what Wang Ting said, he could see some similarities from this person.

It's no wonder that when we first met, he felt a vague sense of familiarity.

Then Xu Yun suddenly thought of something, cupped his hands at this person, and exclaimed:

"It turns out that this is the ball head who scored six yuan alone? He looks like a hero. I'm under Wang Lin, how dare you ask the name of a strong man?"

The young man took a look at Wang Ting, and after getting permission from the superior, he hurriedly returned the salute:

"Thank you, Prince, for your love. A strong man dare not be a man. Xiao Ke's name is Zhang Yuan, and he is from Bingzhou."

Xu Yun nodded thoughtfully and breathed a sigh of relief:

Um.

It doesn't matter if the surname is Gao.

Then he carefully recalled the characters he knew in the Northern Song Dynasty, and found that he had never heard of such a person in his memory.

so it looks.

There is a high probability that this person is just an ordinary soldier?

If this is the case, it would be a pity—with this person's superb footwork, he can at least earn tens of millions a year in the 21st century.

If he could go abroad to study abroad, he might be dubbed "the hope of the whole village", and even have a slight chance to become a national idol.

But what Xu Yun didn't know was.

Although this Zhang Yuan did not leave too many records in history, he is also a well-known and good man:

He killed Wanyan Zonghan's nephew in the Battle of Taiyuan, covered Wang Bao's father and son in street fighting, suffered dozens of knife wounds, and finally died of exhaustion.

After his death, Zong Han patted his horse and trampled on his body, and the owl's head was hung on the city wall, which is admirable and admirable.

Later, the ending of Hao Siwen in "Water Margin" was created based on Zhang Yuan's experience.

However, Xu Yun is not an artificial intelligence, and he doesn't understand that the sergeant in front of him is not just brave on the court.

Then he thought of something, pointed at Zong Ze and said to Wang:

"Lord Colonel, let me introduce you. This is the master's old student, Zongze Zongzhi, a Jinshi in the sixth year of Yuanyou."

Wang Ting had long felt that this scribe looked inexplicably kind, even before he found Xu Yun, he had noticed this person first.

Therefore, after being recommended by Xu Yun, he quickly cupped his hands and said politely:

"At the Zhongyong Camp of the Baotao Army of the Xiaxi Army, Zhiguo School Lieutenant Wang Zhi, whose style name is Zhengchen, met Zongzhi County."

Zong Ze also quickly returned the gift:

"Ru Lin is a civil servant, how can he be so generous as the captain. If the captain thinks highly of me, he should call him elder brother."

Wang Tun was originally an officer from the army, with a straightforward personality, so he immediately agreed:

"That's very good. Brother Zong also don't want to be called the next captain, sir, just follow the words of brother king!"

Looking at the highly chattering characters in front of him, Xu Yun couldn't help feeling a burst of emotion in his heart.

in the original historical trajectory.

There is no record of any exchanges between Wang Ting and Zong Ze, and there is no overlap in the areas where the two work.

When Wang Bao was defending Taiyuan, Zong Ze happened to be fighting hard in the west of Beijing.

Wang Ting finally did not wait for reinforcements.

There was also no helper by Zong Ze's side.

I don't know that it is a night full of wars and blood stains all around.

Have they ever raised their heads and asked the sky, are there any comrades-in-arms on the vast land?

They couldn't see each other as far as the eye could see, but they looked up to see the same starry sky.

Never met until death.

But in this timeline.

Two figures at the backbone level of the nation have an intersection because of themselves.

It seemed ordinary, but they introduced each other with hands bowed.

But in Xu Yun's eyes, it is a picture worth cherishing for thousands of years.

You are not alone!

After introducing each other, Wang Bao looked around, thought for a moment, and said:

"Brother Zong, Xiao Wang, it's almost noon, why don't you let me be the host, how about we go to Fan Lou to eat and chat?"

Gollum—

Hearing the word Fan Lou.

Zhang San, who was staring at Zhang Yuan and talking about how this person made him lose six cents, was shocked.

Straight swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

During the Northern Song Dynasty, restaurants were given different names according to the level of decoration.

The lowest-end restaurant is called "foot shop".

For example, the soup shop where Xu Yun and the others drank sour plum soup before is one of the foot shops.

There is also Sun Erniang and their human flesh bun shop in "Water Margin", which is also a kind of foot shop.

Above the foot store is the "main store", which is a high-end restaurant as the saying goes.

At the moment, there are a total of 72 high-end restaurants in Bianjing.

The top ones are Pan Lou, Yun Lou and .

Fan Lou.

If restaurants such as Panlou and Yunlou can compete with ordinary five-star hotels in later generations.

Then Fanlou is undoubtedly the Waldorf Astoria of the Song Dynasty.

The price of one of the cheapest dishes is close to 100 yuan, and it is impossible to pay for ordinary banquets without a penny!

This price is an unimaginable expense for a servant like Zhang San.

Just like those laborers with a salary of five or six thousand in later generations, it is acceptable for Wandao who occasionally gritted his teeth to eat 428.

But you asked him to eat two or three thousand kaiseki Japanese food by himself?

Maybe in a lifetime, only the tenth wedding anniversary can be an exception.

So after hearing that Wang Ting was going to treat Fan Lou.

Zhang San kept looking at Xu Yun from the corner of his eye, with strong anticipation shining in his eyes.

He didn't want to be able to sit at the table and eat and drink with everyone, but with his relationship with Xu Yun, it would be no problem to pack some leftovers, right?

"Fan Lou"

At this moment, Xu Yun's mind is not as complicated as Zhang San's.

But as a foodie, he really wanted to see this Waldorf in the Northern Song Dynasty.

In addition, he knew a little about Wang Tin's wealth, so it was very easy to afford a Fan Lou meal:

The school lieutenant had just made meritorious service on the Western Front, and the imperial court issued a large reward.

At the same time, because he 'sold himself' to Tong Guan's subordinates.

Tong Guan didn't try to be greedy for ink this time, and handed out all the reward money to Brother Wang Zhi.

According to what Wang said after drinking.

This bounty is estimated to be four to five hundred coins, which is enough for ordinary people to earn for ten or twenty years, and it is more than enough to invite Fanlou.

Wang Ting's proposal fit Xu Yun's idea, so he also took the initiative to invite Zong Ze:

"Mr. Ru Lin, since Mr. Captain is interested, why don't we move to Fan Lou to talk about it?"

Then he paused, thinking of Zongze's character in the history books, and added:

"Don't worry, Mr. Captain is spending money from the imperial court's big victory on the western front, and it's definitely not from greed."

Zong Ze also had the idea of ​​making friends with Wang Ting, he hesitated for a moment, finally nodded and said:

"Since this is the case, Zong would be more respectful than obedient."

Wang Bingjian laughed and waved his left hand very generously:

"Then let Fan Lou walk up, and if you don't get drunk today, you won't return!"

Then a group of people walked along the Royal Street for a short distance, and soon came to a huge building complex:

This is a combined restaurant consisting of five buildings connected and facing each other, connected by a flying bridge in the middle, with pearl curtains and lintels for further study.

The carved eaves reflect the sun, the painted buildings fly with the clouds, the blue rails are connected to the pavilion windows, and the emerald curtains hang high on the doors, which looks extremely luxurious.

The moment he came outside the building, Zhang San couldn't help but stare dumbfounded:

Although Lao Su's family background is extraordinary, he is not a corrupt official, nor does he have the habit of excessive enjoyment.

Therefore, in front of Fan Lou, even the decoration of Lao Su's main courtyard is not enough to look at.

Seeing Zhang San staring at the hotel door without moving, Wang Ting couldn't help but pat him on the head with a smile:

"Daytime is not the busiest time for Fanlou. At night, Fanlou will be even more brilliantly lit, as bright as day."

"Here, see the main porch over there?"

"At that time, there will be no less than a hundred singers standing on both sides, lined up in two rows, exclusively for customers to call."

Xu Yun also raised his head with great interest, and looked curiously at the attic above.

be honest.

As a traveler from later generations, Fan Lou's so-called "luxury" is just like that to him, mainly "visiting" with the mentality of viewing scenic spots.

There are no shortage of similar or even more refined buildings in some scenic spots in later generations that specialize in retro styles.

The curiosity in his eyes is the difference in time and space.

After all, no matter how retro the later generations are, they will not be able to restore such a real scene.

Two things.

It was rumored in history that Song Huizong would take Li Shishi to Fanlou for a tryst if he had nothing to do.

As a humanoid piledriver who gave birth to 66 children before being captured.

I don't know if Zhao Ji will give someone a handle in a certain room in Fanlou at this time, waiting for the other party to report back?

Then, under the leadership of Wang Ting, a group of people walked into Fan Lou one after another.

The first floor of Fanlou is a public dining area, which is also where the lobby is located.

However, compared to ordinary restaurants, there is a screen between each table in Fan Lou, which greatly guarantees the privacy of dining.

Seeing Xu Yun and his party enter.

A clever young man quickly put the towel on his shoulders, walked up quickly, and said respectfully:

"Several guest officials have come to visit, the small shop is really full of splendor, but the lobby is full now, how many of you upstairs please?"

Wang Ting glanced at him, took out a few pieces of silver that were relatively rare at this time, and handed them to the boy:

"Is there a place in the private room?"

The young man took the money and looked it over carefully.

His eyes stayed on the seal of the Privy Council on the side for a while, and his smile became brighter:

"Yes, yes, the Fenglin Ferry on the third floor is empty, how many of you shall I take up?"

Wang Jin nodded:

"Lead the way ahead!"

"Come on, Fenglindu five!"

In a quarter of an hour.

Xu Yun, Wang Tien, and Zong Ze took their seats in turn.

Zhang San and Zhang Yuan were placed on the table for servants on the opposite side of the private room entrance.

"Treasure fan of jade sunflower. Happy to occupy the top. Dragon flying, phoenix dancing, pomegranate house, Ruicai, immediately spring breeze and snow, soup. Booming down."

Wang Ting first ordered a few dishes eloquently.

After exchanging the menu to Xiao Er, he took the initiative to pick up the jug and poured a glass of wine for Zong Ze and Xu Yun.

Then he picked up the wine glass and said to Zong Ze and Xu Yun:

"Brother Zong, although we meet for the first time today, it's like meeting old friends again. Come, Mr. Wang toast you!"

Zong Ze picked up the wine glass and touched him lightly, and the three of them drank the wine in one gulp.

"ha"

After putting down the wine glass, Zong Ze smacked his lips in recollection.

Literati, there is no one who does not love wine, just listen to him praise:

"I've heard that Fan Lou's Feng Xingxiang is a high-quality wine. I drank it today, and it really lives up to its reputation. Uh, brother Wang, what are you laughing at?"

Wang Ting held back his smile, took out a wine bag from his waist, and poured a little into Zongze's cup:

"Brother Zong, just try this."

Zong Ze didn't understand why he picked up the wine glass, and was about to drink it when his nose suddenly moved a few times:

"Hiss, it smells so strong!"

Then he glanced at Wang Zhi and Xu Yun, and changed the original swallowing action into a slow sucking.

A few seconds passed.

Zong Ze raised his brows and asked Wang Zhi in surprise:

"Lord Colonel, I don't know the origin of this wine. The taste is slightly inferior to Feng Xingxiang, but the strength is several times higher!"

Seeing this, Wang Ting laughed, pointed at Xu Yun and said:

"This is the distilled liquor that Xiao Wang refined. Even the best drinking sergeant in the army would drink at most two catties (32 taels) before falling drunk and unconscious."

Zong Ze looked at Xu Yun in surprise.

Originally, he didn't see Xu Yun as someone who practiced martial arts and guarded the courtyard, so he thought this young man was a scribe like an accountant.

But right now it seems.

Things don't seem to be as simple as you imagined?

Then he picked up the glass again and took a sip.

A spicy feeling immediately filled the esophagus, and he said with some regret:

"It's a pity that Li Taibai is dead, otherwise I would like to see if Layman Qinglian dares to say 'I will drink three hundred cups' in the face of such strong alcohol!"

Wang Ting also nodded in agreement, then changed the subject and asked:

"Brother Zong, Mr. Wang didn't ask carefully before, so I don't know where Brother Zong is working now?"

Speaking of his official position, Zong Ze couldn't help but dim a little.

Although he is not an official fan, he has a heart of serving the country with every fist, so he naturally has some expectations for his official career.

However, Heaven failed to fulfill people's wishes, and he only heard him exhale a breath of foul air, and said:

"Zong used to be an official in Longyou, Quzhou, and was ordered to return to Beijing a few days ago.

Although the ultimatum has not been officially issued at the moment, if there is no accident, it should be the magistrate of Jiaoshui County in Laizhou. "

Wang Ting couldn't help frowning, and asked:

"When brother Zong was in Longyou, Quzhou, did he serve as the county magistrate or county lieutenant?"

"Otherwise, Zong was the magistrate at that time."

Wang Ting hesitated for a moment, filled Zongze's glass with a glass of wine, and said:

"Could it be that brother Zong made some mistakes in his tenure?"

Zong Ze shook his head again:

"Zong has been in office for three years, and all his exams are excellent every year, and he has never made any omissions."

"Then why?"

Zong Ze sighed softly when he saw it, and said what he hadn't told Xu Yun before:

"In the early years of the imperial examination, Zong's 10,000-character commentary on the crony dispute offended Wu Chuhou, so convenient"

Boom!

Before Zong Ze finished speaking, Wang Ting punched the table heavily:

"A traitorous minister and a sycophant of the party will harm the country's talents!"

Zong Ze also sighed.

Picking up the wine glass, he took a sip alone, and the strong wine entered his throat, dispelling a trace of resentment.

Then he paused and said to the king:

"Brother Wang has been stationed on the western front all year round. It must not be easy, right?"
