The bald head jumped off the bridge, unintentionally slipping under his feet and almost stumbling.

He slapped his bald head twice and rubbed it, and said with a smile on his face: "I was going to be a righteous man, but I didn't expect to be a good person for martial arts evacuation, forgive me, forgive me." ”

Li Kou took a closer look, it was a fat monk with a red face, tall and tall, and there were several folds of flesh on his bare head.

Li Kou doesn't like monks, but he is very vigilant in his heart.

That guy is also an oilman, and he is clearly quite accomplished in martial arts, but he wants to make a fool of himself, but he is afraid that he is not a good monk.

The monk was very rude, and his estrangement from Li Kou did not seem to be visible.

He pointed at Zhang Dahu and said with a smile: "Weizhou has lived in Zhang Yuanwai's house for a long time, Zhang Yuanwai's house is in the store, such a big deal, how can it be so verbose for tens of thousands of dollars?" He pointed at Li Kou, and said very enthusiastically, "This young man is carrying treasures, not a person who is not sold by your big household, in the eyes of a small monk, it is better to wait for the dawn, what to look for Chen Zooma Liu to join the army just to present the treasure, even if the money is only a few dollars, just ask about the future, or be a servant, or ask for a living, in case you are smart and clever, those people look at it, and recommend a background in the state school, which has nothing to do with your Zhang Dahu, but this treasure is at your fingertips but you don't get it, but you regret it or not?" ”

Li Kou looked at the two people carefully, and thought that it was a guest of Zhang Dahu's family who came to do childcare, but he didn't expect the bald head to say a word, Zhang Dahu's face turned white, and by the time he said what Chen Kuoma Liu joined the army, Zhang Dahu's fat face was already red.

Isn't this bald man a true righteous man?

Li Kou didn't let down his vigilance because he helped bargain, so why bother to give him a definition if the jade test was to be burned for three days?

He only understood in his heart that the big family was going to spend a lot of money to entertain Chen Zouma and Liu to join the army.

Horses?

When it's the sign that the horse bears, right?

What kind of official this is, Li Kou doesn't know.

But he knew that he had joined the army, and he had memorized the article "Bai Xue Ge Sent the Military Judge Back to Beijing".

What kind of extravagant characters are those two!

But he also understood that this big family was really not an ordinary local tyrant.

What does it take to stay in Zhang Yuanwai's house for a long time?

I think it should be an inn or something.

There is also this Zhang Wai's main store.

Since I have met this kind of local tyrant, I just need something that only I have.

So?

Sell him!

Li Kou took the opportunity to say: "Two hundred and fifty thousand...... Take the money if you want. ”

At this time, Zhang Dahu muttered, "If you want to pay taxes, you need to spare me a lot."

It turns out that this private transaction is also subject to taxes?

But Li Kou didn't believe Zhang Yuanwai's words.

Dousheng Xiaomin is bound to pay taxes, and such extravagant characters make friends with officials and have money, will he obey the law and pay taxes?

Even in modern times, there are so many tax evaders, not to mention that the law of the Great Song Dynasty is a sieve full of loopholes.

Li Kou said: "That's your business. ”

Zhang Yuanwai hesitated and glared again and again: "It's okay, if you go with me and make a note, I will pay you 250,000 yuan in full - I won't spare a penny?" ”

Li Kou said: "You can spare you, you have to exchange the food, I have both the old and the weak here, and I have children, you have to spare me a few days of room money." ”

At this moment, someone on the embankment shouted: "Why did you make a mistake? ”

There were fifty or seventy soldiers coming down from the light of the pine torches, and an officer who wore and walked in armor, with a sword hanging from his waist and an iron-headed stick in his hand, strode over.

Zhang Yuanwai immediately stabbed Li Kou and hurriedly put away the glass bottle: "Mo Sect, these guys forcibly took it." ”

Li Kou put away the wine bottle and stuffed the canned bottle into Zhu Wen's arms, and saw that the fat monk was a little away.

He suddenly realized that the man was a shrewd man.

At least a well-informed person.

The hundreds of thousands of dollars outside the staff can be taken out in an instant, and he is a local tyrant; It is also an unusual person to bear the horse and join the army, how can they teach an ordinary monk to know?

No matter what his intentions are, I'm afraid he may not be a true and good person.

He caught a glimpse of Zhu Wen standing behind the monk in a flash, obviously not worried about the monk.

This man is also a man who knows how to repay his kindness.

Li Kou has a plan in his heart, he doesn't understand the economy of this era, and when he goes to withdraw money with that big family, he must take Zhu Wencai with him, this person has both martial arts and a small family, and he should be more trustworthy among all the people present.

As for the monk who is barely able to pass the eye on martial arts, if he wants to follow, then follow him.

Such a well-informed "righteous man" can also be used by him.

If he has any purpose, it is easy to say it.

If you don't say it well, you have a way to deal with him.

The officer approached with someone, and when he saw Zhang Dahu here, he was taken aback at first, and then said with a smile: "Zhang Dahu got up so early—why didn't he go to the store to watch?" The Mojiao Gang stole your money. ”

Zhang Dahu seemed a little annoyed, but endured it without having a seizure.

He only arched his hand to the man and said, "There is a talented scholar here, I will talk to him a few words, send some hot soup and make a personal favor." ”

This guy is also shrewd, and after speaking, he shouted to the river embankment: "The weather is cold and the ground is freezing, my family is a big family, quickly take some food and give it to these three or five hundred households to eat." ”

He is a big family, that is, how much is a meal worth for a meal of three or five hundred people?

What's more, the leftovers are just thrown away.

Just this hand gags the officer's mouth, and even if he is embarrassed, he must be careful that the homeless people make trouble.

Sure enough, someone among the homeless people shouted, "Zhang Dahu is really a luxury character."

Immediately, 100 people praised one after another: "Weizhou Zhang Dahu is an extravagant figure." ”

The officer did not bother much, and only saw that there were only seven or eight men under the piers, and he did not bother to inquire again.

He only saw that Zhu Wen's military coat was a little strange in the light of the torches, and when he looked closely, it was really an old and weak boy, so he didn't care.

He didn't see Li Kou standing in the backlight staring at him for a long time.

It was a non-junior officer, and he was dressed in iron armor.

Li Kou heard Xiaomei say that in ancient times, the popularity rate of armor and the production of steel were very small, not to mention that an elite army was fully equipped with iron armor, even grassroots officers were difficult to equip with iron armor, most of them were leather armor or even cloth armor, and a better armor could even become the existence of several generations of Jiangmen as an heirloom.

And the officer wore a suit of armor, with a shorter neck guard and a longer hem, that was the armor of the infantry army, and judging by the uneven reflection of the iron armor in the firelight, it was not a fine armor, but a middle-level officer.

The man led the soldiers to turn around and leave, and Li Kou heard Zhang Dahu and the fat monk say together: "Yao is good to go." ”

Rampant?

He has also heard Xiaomei talk about this word, Xiaomei hates the most is the group of lyricists in the Song Dynasty, and hates the official position of those people who are too cheating, the Zhizhou of the Eight Grades, and in front of what kind of general judgment, the two places are thousands of miles apart and have nothing to do with it, and what else is the official who sends the Lu official and the official rank and dispatcher, and everyone is irritable when they listen to it.

In the Song Dynasty, this rampant was called the third class rampant.

"The emperors of the Song Dynasty were idle to invent so many official titles, isn't it good to have that effort to think about what to eat?" Xiaomei often criticized the emperors of the Song Dynasty, and scolded a group of literati and doctors with her feet, "I only listen to this talented and that chic all day long, and I waste my cleverness on infighting, and set up so many official ranks, can I manage the Jin soldiers and Yuan Bing?" When I came to the door, I hit the mace with my eyes open and hit other people's maces with the Tianling cover, and the province was a bunch of rookies pecking at each other, not as good as scary dogs, and the milk dogs would snort twice to threaten outsiders, what did those people do, the first place in infighting. ”

Li Kou remembered the little sister's complaints for three days, and naturally remembered a few strange terms.

************************************

"The emperor and the gains and losses (of the previous dynasty), although the eldest princess is few, she is talented and intelligent, and she despises the rules of the (Song) times, saying: 'Although the puppies are weak, you know how to show your teeth and intimidate, the important ministers of the previous dynasty, who have belittled Fan Chugong (Fan Zhongyan), suppressed Wang Jinggong (Wang Anshi), and lightly generalized the door, Di Hanchen (Di Qing) was afraid and sentenced to Chenzhou, and Zhang Zhifu (Zhang Qi) finally did not re-judge the Privy Council [Note (1)], so that how many people were comfortable guarding the frontier? So that the border generals do not dare to speak about the military, and judge the level by 'origin [note (2)]", and the foolish fools are also! The emperor said: "Although it is biased, it is also in the middle." ——Li Qingzhao "Zhizheng Lu, Shang, On the Five Virtues"

It was not until the third year of Daguan (1109 AD) that Cai Jing resigned for the second time, and Zhang Qi's family was rehabilitated.
