On this day, Qianlong had a banquet somewhere for the local **. While drinking, he suddenly asked: "Li Baidou has a hundred poems about wine, but in the Tang Dynasty, how much did a liter of wine cost?"Everyone looked at Ji Xiaolan and understood that he was the only one who could answer this strange question. But Ji Xiaolan didn't say a word, blinking her eyes.
Hooray!He Shen said, "The slave knows." Du Fu said in his poem: Come and drink a bucket quickly, and you need three hundred bronze coins ......A bucket is ten liters, so the price is calculated as thirty dollars. Qianlong was overjoyed and was about to praise He Shen, when Ji Xiaolan spoke: "Oh, Lord He still loves Du Fu's poetry?"He Shen's face changed: "What is this, in order to live up to the emperor's expectations, I love Du Fu's poetry to understand the rise and fall and observe the official style and people's feelings of the Qing Dynasty!"Unlike some people, who only shake their heads and chant poems, but achieve nothing!Qianlong laughed, not only rewarded He Shen with three glasses of wine, but also publicly praised him. Other ** also touted it, and He Shen's face was full of joy.
After being full of wine and food, Qianlong and others accidentally sprained their feet when they were visiting the south of the Yangtze River. He Shen was anxious, but Qianlong comforted everyone not to worry, he was fine. However, the excursion plans were clearly in vain. Ji Xiaolan proposed: "Your Majesty, it's better to go to a certain place to rest your feet first, and rest and ** foot injury." This is also the biggest compliment to the local **. As soon as he finished speaking, the local ** invited Qianlong to his house. Only He Shen frowned, and suddenly said in horror: "What Master Ji said is very true, ** is favored by His Majesty every day, so it is more appropriate to give way to the ** with the lowest official position." Qianlong nodded and agreed, and selected a prefect.
The prefect was ecstatic. Qianlong arrived at the prefect's mansion, sat down and chatted a few words, Ji Xiaolan suddenly turned his head to look around, and began to wander around the mansion. Qianlong asked, "Ji Xiaolan, what are you looking for?"Ji Xiaolan turned around, pointed to the prefect's house and said, "It's really luxurious and rich, it can't be compared with the minister's family!."These words immediately gave Qianlong a new understanding. How can a prefect's family background reach such an extent?Ji Xiaolan looked at He Shen and said, "Lord He likes to read Du Fu's poems to understand the rise and fall of the previous dynasty and observe the officialdom and people's sentiments of the Qing Dynasty. However, this—" he pointed to the prefect's house, "and my lord, can you explain?."He Shen said, "Yes, there must be an explanation!"This prefect, waiting for you to explain!Only then did everyone notice the prefect, but he fainted in fright. He Shen pointed to the prefect and said, "Even if you faint, you have to explain it clearly, otherwise Shen and I won't be able to spare you!."Ji Xiaolan said with a smile: "I suddenly remembered a few lines of Bai Juyi's poems, one is: 2,000 pieces of paper per month, 300,000 ..... of money."The other is: Hundreds of thousands of officials and two products in the month, and the court hired me as an idler. Before he died, he also wrote a poem: first sell ten acres of garden in Nanfang, then sell five acres of land in Dongguo, and then sell the house at the same time, as if he got two or three thousand ......But I'm afraid that this money will not be exhausted, that is, I will return to the night spring with the dew first!He Shen glared at Ji Xiaolan angrily and helplessly: "When are you still chanting poetry, what is your intention?"Ji Xiaolan said with a smile: "These poems are Bai Juyi's report on his fortune and family property in the form of poems. This prefect and adults don't know, how can he afford such a gorgeous home?He Shen once said: Use Du Fu's poems to understand the rise and fall of the previous dynasty, and observe the officialdom and people's feelings of my Great Song Dynasty. And adults, words and deeds must be consistent, and you can also use poetry to report your fortune and family propertyDon't you dare to deny it, right?How dare I!He Shen was angry and helpless, and glanced at Qianlong!Alas, Qianlong looks like he has nothing to do with himself!He Shen hurriedly gestured with his eyes to the others**. Those ** flocked to Qianlong, saying that they had to deal with the problem of this prefect. This shouting and howling, some of them felt guilty about Qianlong, and some of them were terribly scared ......Ji Xiaolan looked at it and whispered to He Shen: "There are successors to adults, this play is good!."Qianlong slowly opened his eyes and glared at Ji Xiaolan, he already understood what was going on - no matter when and where, you Ji Xiaolan always don't let me have a good time, and every time you have to cause trouble!However, it was impossible not to deal with it, so Qianlong had no choice but to order a thorough investigation of the prefect's situation. didn't pursue the other ** anymore, just limped away, and let He Shen support himself. Ji Xiaolan was ordered to lead the way, and he had to walk slowly in front, lest he accidentally step on something......
