Fighting is a kind of economics, this sentence does not work in the northern market, but it is especially popular in the south, everyone knows that if you win, you lose money, and if you lose, you lose it, so if there is a contradiction, you will curse each other face to face, and whoever makes the first move will pay the money.

According to this law, the fat boy who won the fight naturally chose to lose money, the price depends on the person, if the other party has no background, at most compensate for some medical expenses, if it is the opposite, then you have to watch it yourself.

For example, Lu Zhizhou's own nephew, as a heavyweight initiator, money must be indispensable, so Lu Zhizhou prepared a thousand taels of silver for the soup and medicine, hoping that Wu Shuai's son could dissipate his anger.

One thousand taels of silver is a huge amount of money for an ordinary family, but for the Wu family, who are in charge of the commander, it is nothing.

So Wu Ting, who felt that he was humiliated, went out of the city overnight and prepared to return to Chuzhou, this time, Lu Zhizhou was startled, and he knocked on the door of Su Tong's house with a roar, and Su Fatzi, who was disturbed by his dream, didn't have time to be long-winded, called out to the guards, and caught up with Wu Ting and his party who were about to leave the city in a carriage.

After some apologies, the young man was finally appeased, and the price was naturally vomiting blood, but it ended well.

Longzhou City in the early morning always gives people a feeling of busyness, with errands, workers, and burdens hurrying, and people coming and going in an endless stream.

The golden sunlight shone through the dark clouds on a wild flower that had just stretched out its buds on the side of the gravel road, and a drop of mellow dew, which seemed to dislike this glorious moment, rolled and jumped off the petals, and fell on a large lump of cow dung, which was shoveled into the back basket by a shovel before it could react.

"Uncle Zhou, you started picking up manure so early!"

The dog who was in a hurry held a steamed bun in his hand and took a look at the old man who was picking up dung who was just standing upright, and the dog, who had always been very polite, naturally greeted him loudly.

"It's still early, if you wait any longer, the cow dung will already be picked up." Uncle Zhou replied to the dog with a smile, and continued along the gravel road with the bamboo basket on his back, looking for the next pile of cow dung.

A person who picks up cow dung can get up so early, and he is studying for the imperial examination, so thinking about it, the dog feels a little slack, and he stuffed the half-pulled steamed bun into his mouth with a big mouth, and the speed under his feet also accelerated, and he ran to the gate of the academy in a short time.

"Little official, you're here!"

The stout door greeted the dog in a hoarse voice.

The dog was curious: "Hey, what's wrong with your voice today?" Why are you so powerless? ”

Menzi sighed and pointed to the study: "Dean Jin said that if you dare to make any noise to the students studying, let me roll up and leave!" ”

The dog laughed secretly, and said with a straight face: "Then how can it be done, your voice is so low, if anyone comes to look for it, we can't hear it!" ”

The stout disciple said with a smile: "Don't worry, little official, Dean Jin said that the door will be closed in the future, and no one will be allowed to come to find it!" ”

"Why, brother?"

"I heard that a few days ago, there was a fight in the official office in the juggling street in the south of the city, and there were several students from the academy involved, so an order was issued in the yamen to prohibit students from going out at will during the lecture, I don't know what happened!"

Dogs: ......

"Brother, you are busy first, the kid has gone to the schoolhouse."

"Go, go, Xiao Langjun study hard and become a big official in the future!" The stout man waved goodbye to the dog enthusiastically.

The dog arched his hand and hurriedly ran to the schoolhouse, but met Cheng Yanjin halfway.

"Zhao Dagou! You come with me! Old Master Jin shouted at the dog from a distance.

The old man's eyes were so sharp, he was still spotted when he walked away from him, and the dog sighed and replied, "Here comes the master!" ”

As the dean of the academy, Mr. Jin theoretically should have a luxurious office room, but the fact is that there is only a soft chair, a low table, and five or six large bookshelves, and there are no calligraphy, paintings and antiques that decorate the façade, and the only pair of words hanging on the wall behind the chair is written by his father when he founded the academy.

"Master, I don't know what the matter is with calling the students?"

Old Master Jin sat on the soft chair and glanced up and down at the dog standing obediently in front of the table, especially the bruises on his cheeks that had not yet subsided:

"You haven't been in school for the past few days, so you must have dragged down a lot of studies, right?"

The dog originally thought that he was going to scold himself for the fight he had some time ago, but he never thought that he was actually concerned about his studies.

I was a little moved in my heart and said: "Back to Master, the students will borrow the notes of their classmates to make up for their homework in the past few days, so that they will not delay their studies." ”

Old Master Jin snorted, and then looked at the dog in a daze.

It was very embarrassing to look at the dog.

"Master? Is there anything else you can do? ”

I really couldn't stand his gaze, so the dog had to ask in a loud voice.

"Dog, how long have you been in my academy?"

The dog said, "It's been almost two months!" ”

"Well, your schoolwork, I asked other gentlemen, they said, you are a rare study seedling, if you really study hard for a few years, there is no problem in taking the Jinshi background, I called you today, not to blame you for fighting, but ......"

It is the master who imparts your knowledge and literature, and the one who teaches you to be a man while teaching you to learn literature is called Master, although he is not famous, he is also worthy of respect.

So the dog put away the complaint in his heart, respectfully saluted him, and said, "It's the master, the student knows that he is wrong." ”

"No, you're right! Young and not frivolous, worthy of being a young man! At your age, I often get into fights, but no matter what, I can't relax in my studies. ”

As he spoke, Old Master Jin pointed to the stool behind the dog and said, "You sit down and listen to me." ”

The dog saluted and sat down obediently.

Old Master Jin coughed and continued: "I know your relationship with Su Tongju, and I also heard that you are extremely valued by Wu Dashuai, and he even recommended you to be an official in order to let you stay, but have you ever thought about why they value you so much?" ”

The dog shook his head silently.

"My Great Song Dynasty since the North Court and the South Crossing, especially after the Jin Song Dynasty Peace Conference, the previous officialdom and officials were grouped, and the evil atmosphere of military attachés ganging up was about to start again, and the current advantage was the lord and faction of Qin Xianggong, their faction was extremely powerful, fighting for power and profit, suppressing the courtiers, and squeezing many pillars of officials out of the court.

"Over the years, he has also grabbed many important positions, but it has also aroused the suspicion of Qin Xianggong in Lin'an, as long as he is targeted, he will instruct his subordinates to suppress the other party, and few people can escape."

"Wu Lan and Su Tongju are the thorns in Qin Xianggong's side, if it weren't for the sudden outbreak of war in the first month, it is difficult to say that the two of them would not be rectified by Qin Xianggong."

Speaking of this, Old Master Jin glanced at the dog and said, "Do you understand?" ”

Although the dog is smart, but he is really young, and he doesn't have so much life experience, listening to what he said in a foggy way, except for understanding that Qin Xianggong is going to deal with Wu Dashuai and Su Fatzi, he really doesn't know anything else, so he arched his hand and said: "Master, Wu Dashuai is in such an important position, if Qin Xiangshuai wants to deal with him, then our Lizhou Road will not be stable, the kid thinks, the official family should not leave it alone, right?" ”

Old Master Jin snorted and said, "No matter how important Wu Shuai is, can he compare to Yue Dashuai?" ”

Dogs: ......

Well, my father also said to himself that the big officials in the court treat political enemies with all kinds of things, and a figurative metaphor is:

"The pot leaked, and the shovel and spoon also scored the winner."

The dog stood up and bowed respectfully to the old master Jin in the seat, "Please teach me how to do it?" ”

Old Master Jin sighed and said: "You are still very young, and you don't know how difficult your career is, since I have taken you under the door, I have to be responsible for you, so there are some things that I have to tell you well." ”

The dog said yes, listen to him carefully.

"You are only from a military background, if you have been in the army, at most you are a commander of the army, but now whenever there is a war, the leaders are all civilian officials, and no matter how many soldiers there are under the commander, they are also controlled by others, and they are not good men, so it is a wise move for you to take the imperial examination."

"The imperial examination is the best way to transfer military positions to civilian capital, and you can go to the next level if you get a background in the future, so the imperial examination is very right, but the imperial examination is not easy, and you can't get fame without a few years of hard work, not to mention that you only enter school at the age of twelve, and many times at night, it is not easy."

"But thanks to the care of Su Tongju and Wu Dashuai, it shouldn't be difficult for you to go to the Ministry of Rites to take the provincial exam through the liberation, but if you really go to the Ministry of Rites through the relationship between these two people, you will be branded by the two of them, and under the treatment of Qin Xianggong, your chances of passing the exam are very small, so what I want to tell you today is that you must learn to do it through your own real talents, and don't use your relationship."

"You can't win the Jinshi in a single order, you have to come back honestly in the second half of your life to be an official for the two of you, there is no evergreen tree in the officialdom, if the two of them are killed by gangsters and lose their posts, you will have to be unlucky."

After saying this, Old Master Jin stared at the dog with pity and said: "With your intelligence, you can study for a few years with peace of mind, and it is naturally not difficult to take the imperial examination, you have to put yourself in it, this is not the way for a gentleman to seek good fortune and avoid evil, therefore, I persuaded you, do you really just want to be a petty official?" Instead of a powerful courtier? ”

A rhetorical question makes the dog's idea of messing around, there is a crack, the reader is arrogant, which is why Wen Wu is the first, a manly man, with a good future, why should he be a small official for others?

I would rather be the head of the chicken than the allusion of the tail of the phoenix, and I know it! So the dog was in awe, and bowed seriously to the old master Jin behind the desk.

"Master's words today, the students understand, and from now on, they can study with peace of mind, and the chaos outside will no longer be mixed."

Old Master Jin glanced at the dog and smiled: "It's good to understand, a manly man, he is favored by others, and he naturally wants to repay it, but he can choose some other ways, and there is no need to put his life into it." ”

"Yes, Master, the dog understands."

"Well, let's go out, if there is anything that you can't do in your coursework, ask Mr. more, last time the academy competition, you didn't participate, but there will be two months later, I hope you can seize this opportunity and strive to get good grades, after all, the books in the county school are much better than those in Luyuan Academy, and the gentleman who teaches is also a great Confucian from all over the world, unlike us......"

As he spoke, Old Master Jin's tone became lower and lower, and his eyes revealed a look of longing.
