"It turns out that Xiaoping, you are just worried about this." The middle-aged man in front of him laughed heartily after hearing the doubts of the young man in front of him.

Originally, Wang Mingde had been a little unable to figure out the question, but today Wang Xingping took the initiative to ask it.

In the forty-five years of Wanli, Wang Xingping's various experiences can be described as adventures, several times and three times in the military merits, killing red seedlings, saving tribute envoys, and exterminating profiteers, such an opportunity, the reward in the official is naturally a lot, although there will be no too affordable reward for him, a scholar who has no merit, but it is only a matter of time before he is given a crown and a watch, for the honor of the official, Wang Xingping will definitely not refuse, and even the world position of Guiyang Wei Baihu has been given, but after all, it is only a false position, and he doesn't care.

But in recent days, things seem to have taken a new turn, and two days ago, Zhang Heming actually said intentionally or unintentionally that he wanted to hire him for a real job as a deputy thousand households.

Wang Xingping naturally understands Zhang Fujun's intentions, it is not a secret that he wants to keep filial piety for three years, and because of the unfortunate time, it will take at least four years to embark on the road of the imperial examination. After all, although he is a local official of the imperial court, he does not plan to stay in Guizhou for three or four years, and he still has some selfish intentions to enter the cabinet, so a talent like Wang Xingping needs to find another way to entrap him. If Wang Xingping was originally a real officer of the guard, with the credit of Wang Zhongde's previous few times, he has now been pacified by Qianhu, and Wang Xingping's credit in the middle is no less than that of him, as long as he is willing to nod, no one in this deputy Qianhu can say anything wrong.

But Zhang Heming is also a scholar, and he knows Wang Xingping's pursuit on the right path, so he asked tactfully, but even if Zhang Xianggong himself has the heart to do things, and there is no reason to make wedding dresses for others, it seems that it is inevitable to take Wang Xingping for his own use in office.

But Wang Xingping also understands a truth, the Ming Dynasty is a noble and lowly martial arts, and in Guizhou, this military household is even more of a promising livelihood, and Zhang Heming's selfishness in this matter he also understands. Putting aside this section, Wang Xingping has not seriously considered the issue of serving as a martial artist, and as a member of the Wang family in Guiyang, serving as a local military post in the guard is also a reasonable choice, after all, the Wang family is a military household, of course, the premise is that Wang Xingping has no hope, but after all, he himself has only turned fourteen after the age of fourteen, and he has enough time and energy to mix up a serious background, and now he has set the tone early will inevitably affect the future.

But Wang Xingping was still a little unwilling, so he asked about it when he walked around Wang Mingde's mansion today.

Hearing Wang Mingde laugh, Wang Xingping was still a little puzzled, "Although my nephew's filial piety period has not yet expired, after all, I still want to take the right path of the imperial examination, but I am worried that once I get off this errand, I will delay my fame in the future." ”

Wang Xingping naturally knows the details of the military household examination, and his father and Wang Mingde are both military household examiners, and Wang Zunde is a jinshi, he doesn't have to worry about this identity issue at all, the only thing to worry about is the issue of military capital transfer and whether the military position that has been granted can be appointed as an official through the imperial examination. In fact, he asked a few people these questions in private, and the answers he got were always ambiguous, so he still felt that it would be better to find Wang Mingde to confirm again.

Wang Mingde seemed to feel that his words still needed some convincing power, so he said to Wang Xingping: "I don't know in the previous dynasty, but this dynasty has produced a genius who has both civil and military solutions, and he is only two subjects earlier than your uncle. ”

"How can such a thing happen? Please tell me who this person is. ”

There is nothing more than an actual case to convince himself, and when he heard that there was really a strange person who was both civil and military, Wang Xingping was naturally very interested.

"It's no wonder, these things are rare for you to hear people talk about on weekdays, this person is not a small reputation, surnamed Xiong Tingbi, originally a Huguang person, when he was young, he should be Huguang Wuxiang tried to win the first, after being awarded the official because of the unwillingness, he abandoned Wu Congwen, Wanli twenty-five years in Huguang Township tried the first solution Yuan, and the next year he was a Jinshi, with this gentleman Zhuyu in front, Xiaoping, do you still have any concerns?"

As soon as Xiong Tingbi's name came out, Wang Xingping immediately recalled this famous figure, and how did he forget him.

"By the way, the classmate you are in the school is called Qiu Maopu, and he was the same year as Xiong Jinshi when he took the exam, and many things were only known to me when Qiu Jinshi mentioned them to your uncle in Beijing."

It turns out that Qiu Maopu's father Qiu Heshi is also a Jinshi in the twenty-sixth year of Wanli, and died in Beijing in the forty-second year of Wanli, and the Qiu family is also famous for his articles in Guizhou. For this classmate who has a similar situation to himself, Wang Xingping once asked some questions in private, but he didn't expect to have such a relationship with this famous Xiong Xianggong.

He listened to Wang Mingde's words and replied lightly: "Ruomu [Note: Qiu Maopu Biaozi] is indeed preparing for the spring exam. ”

Wang Mingde said: "He has already passed the children's test this year?" ”

"The children's exam has passed in April this year, and there must be no doubt that the remedial students will be born after the year."

"That's right, Mr. Hefeng [Note: Qiu Heshi] has been dead for three years, he can indeed refer to it, with the Qiu family's family history, a child is naturally handy, but I was too lazy to pay attention to the 'long case' outside the government."

The so-called children's examination is the two-level imperial examination before the hospital examination, which is different from the three-year examination of the hospital, township and general examination, which is divided into three years and two examinations, divided into the county examination and the government examination. After passing the college examination, you can become a formal student, that is, the so-called Xiucai, and only at the level of Xiucai can you really become a scholar, not only can you be exempted from Tian Fu and conscription, but you can also see the official without kneeling, so the transcendent status of the scholar in the Ming Dynasty can be seen, no wonder Wang Xingping will have so many ideas on the way to the imperial examination.

Strictly speaking, the county exam of the year after tomorrow will be in February, and it happens that Wang Xingping is full of filial piety, which can also be referenced.

Wang Mingde saw that Wang Xingping was still a little unrelenting, and knew that most of them were still thinking about what he had just said, and said: "It's rare that the military minister wants to rely on you, so you don't want to waste this opportunity. ”

"My nephew naturally understands this truth, it just so happens that Mr. Ye has returned from Guangdong and has brought back more than a dozen cannons."

"Shopkeeper Ye is back? When did this happen? Wang Mingde was a little surprised when he heard this, and he actually brought back so many cannons.

"When I crossed Guangxi, I met water bandits on the Xijiang River, experienced some turmoil, and lost a cannon in the river, and I just arrived outside Guiyang City yesterday evening, I was afraid that those cannons were too eye-catching and did not let them enter the city and sent directly to the warehouse in the north of the city."

"Xiaoping, you did a good job of this, but you actually got a cannon, it seems that you are also ambitious, so you should respond to the actual job of this thousand households."

Wang Mingde suddenly heard the news, and then led the conversation to the beginning, after all, if you only practice some people's strength, it will be okay, but Wang Xingping still wants these craftsmen to learn to operate cannons. It is indeed a big mistake not to find an official identity, which is naturally the reason why Wang Xingping himself is entangled, if it weren't for being too eye-catching in the weapon, Zhang Heming's proposal could have been easily declined.

After some explanation, Wang Xingping saw that there were also successful cases in this dynasty, and that doubt was completely dispelled, "Tomorrow, my nephew will settle things down a little and then go to see the minister of the army." ”

…………

In the next few days, Wang Xingping took advantage of the rest of the day to visit Zhang Heming again, and said in front of him that after careful consideration, he was willing to go down to the army on an errand, and the condition was naturally to give him enough troops to prepare to gather a group of young and strong soldiers to train the new army, in addition, all kinds of ordnance produced by the Poly Arsenal Workshop should also be left to enrich his military quota, and this matter does not need to be paid by the officials, and the last one is that these young and strong people will help in the military operations of the Guizhou government in the future, so they can no longer bear the excess food and additional distribution. Although Zhang Heming was a little surprised that Wang Xingping took the initiative to let the workers he recruited be gathered into military households, he still agreed.

After that, Wang Xingping went to Gu Congxin's place to report, Gu Congxin has been officially promoted to the commander of Guiyang Wei because of Wang Xingping's several credits, and at this time he is Wang Xingping's serious boss, so he naturally wants to be close. Gu Congxin saw that there was another capable person under his subordinates, and he was still such a well-behaved and sensible young master of the Wang family, and he was also very happy, so he hated that there was no suitable daughter in his clan, otherwise he would like to book the family affairs first.

The following days passed uneventfully, but the construction site in the north of Guiyang City has added a novel scenery every morning, both officials and civilians will always see a tall and strong red-haired Yi man with a team of craftsmen around the newly built city foundation running and shouting, each time to run enough laps, recently in the evening to run again.

At first, people were curious, and many people stopped their hands along the way and ran to watch, but as this matter became accustomed to it, they gradually got used to it.

There are also good people who have asked familiar people in the iron factory, but it is the new deputy Qianhu master who is training his military households, Wang Xingping is also willing to buy, every day from the people outside the city to buy cattle and sheep to slaughter, so that these big men not only did not lose due to daily drills and heavy iron factory work, but became more and more fat and strong, and there was no longer any complaint about the integration of the stacks for the military households.

Wang Xingping, the deputy thousand households, is actually subordinate to the newly upgraded Bai Erbao of the Thousand Households of the Jierong Thousand Households, and the official on his head is Wang Zhongde, Zhang Heming reported the previous military exploits, and played the promotion of the Bai Erbao to the Thousand Households, and took the "Shangshu Lizheng" in the 'Ke Errong soldiers. The sentence was renamed Jierong, which was intended to deter the barbarians, and the princes of the court would not refuse this kind of request in the previous actions of Zhang Lao Xianggong, not to mention that the new 1200 military quotas were all military households, and they did not want the court to pay them separately.

But originally, many of the tun households around Bai'er Fort had already fled and abandoned the land, and some of the better ones were mostly occupied by the surrounding local tyrants and fanren, or occupied the cultivated land with the people, or used the mountains and rivers to make other businesses, and it was not even 20% in the hands of Wang Zhongde, the chief officer, who was a positive number of 1,200 troops, and the rest was regarded as the spare space left for Wang Xingping.

Seeing that he just nodded and agreed to Zhang Heming's request, there were suddenly so many chips in his hand, and Wang Xingping couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed about the previous gains and losses.

'Looks like we could have taken a bigger step......
