Li Yi thought for a moment and said: "There is a suitable candidate, Kong He, the official of the Finance Department of Houguan County, has recently offended Shangguan Fu at home, this person is a famous master of accounting and a cadre among the officials, but it is a pity that he was frustrated in the field and failed to be lifted, and he often committed the act of being arrogant. ”

"Kong and ......" Xu Zi thought about it first, but he didn't have much impression of this person.

It may be the reason why the aristocratic clan pays too little attention to the level of officials.

"His home is in Sanchuankou, south of the town, very close." Li Yi said: "I'm afraid I won't move him." ”

"Why?"

"Hmm......" Li Yi smiled bitterly: "Kong He offended your second uncle." ”

Xu Zixian also shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Xu Zixian's second uncle is the deputy governor of Fuzhou Dadu Governor's Mansion Zhao Wang, the prince's respect is already the top level of existence in Fuzhou, the capital governor Qi Wang is old, and King Zhao is the biological father of today's son, and it is difficult for the magistrate to resist it.

Originally, the prince had no real power, but in recent years, King Zhao has been quite domineering and domineering in many ways.

Xu Zixian didn't know about these previous lives, and King Zhao had always looked down on him...... The first generation of Nan'an Hou is a prince who has no interest, and the previous generation of King Zhao is a brother, and the previous generation of King Zhao stayed in Beijing as a privy deputy envoy, although it is a false title, it is also a high power.

The first generation of Nan'an Marquis was far from Fuzhou to a marquis, with few official mansions, few real food seals, no real jobs, poverty, and after the reward money brought out from Beijing was used up, Nan'an Hou's Mansion became a broken household in the clan.

Although Zhao Wangfu came to Fuzhou for less than ten years, he was prosperous and there were many people who helped him, and in less than ten years, Zhao Wang seemed to have become the head of many clans in Fuzhou, and he was also a famous prince on Fujian Road.

Of course, it also won a lot of rights and interests in Fujian Road. Many gentry and wealthy families have given up some of their interests, many of which are openly and secretly fighting, but the prince who is from the court and the biological father of today's son is competing for profits, but ordinary people really can't fight. In a few years, Zhao Wangfu has accumulated a lot of wealth, known as the rich and rival the country, money is heroic courage, but also the capital to attract heroes to serve, Zhao Wangfu naturally has more talents, Zhao Wang is more domineering and unscrupulous.

As the great patriarch of the Fuzhou clan and the governor of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, King Qi was suppressed by King Zhao in terms of real power, family assets, and prestige, but King Qi had excellent character and excellent reputation among the people, which barely maintained the existing pattern.

At least, the position of the Metropolitan Governor of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion has not yet been won by King Zhao.

There are quite complicated and secret things in this, and the situation in Fuzhou is also extremely complicated, Xu Zixian in the previous life had no chance to contact the top power game, an empty marquis, and in the end he only fell with a knife.

"Since it is a talent, you still have to try your best to fight for ......" Xu Zixian said to Li Yi: "King Zhao is my cousin, I am me, this layer can be separated, to be honest, I respect King Qi more." ”

"The lower officials also respect King Qi." Li Yi said: "It's a pity that the King of Qi is old, and once he goes, there may be chaos in Fuzhou." ”

"I only wish King Qi a long life and a hundred years old."

The lights exploded a few times, and the two men smiled at each other.

Li Yi got up to say goodbye and said, "It's too late, tonight was originally to chat with the prince, but at this time, a lot of confidence came out, and there seemed to be a faint feeling that I had wasted too much time before." ”

Xu Zixian laughed and said: "I wasn't very competitive before, but I have been contemplating and meditating for the past few months, and I have read a lot of books, so I always have to make progress." ”

Li Yi nodded, walked out very calmly, and said to Xu Zixian when he arrived at the door: "A penny is difficult to defeat a hero, and the prince wants to cheer up, I'm afraid I still have to start on the matter of money first." ”

Xu Zixian smiled bitterly and nodded, this is a dead festival, he has several ideas to get money now, but he needs a talent to help. If you want talents, you have to take out the money, you have no position and no power, and your previous reputation is that of an ordinary child of the clan, which is not a plus but a minus. Great Wei did not have real feudalism for the clan, the clan had no financial resources, and was restricted, and generally the talents who pursued it, either literary or martial, had their own life paths to follow, and there were very few top talents who were willing to work for the clan.

……

In the early morning, Xu Zixian went out from the back door as usual, ran five or six miles along the vegetable field to the river, sweat soaked his robe slightly, and then he began to pull the big bow to practice strength, this kind of big bow is the standard bow in the army, twelve forces, quite heavy and long hard bow, generally can not be used in actual combat, just used to draw the bow to practice strength.

Of course, it is also necessary to keep pulling away, keep aiming, putting down, holding the bow again, pulling away, aiming, and putting down again.

In this way, Xu Zixian has persisted for more than three months, and he can already see the target clearly, and his eyesight seems to have increased.

Xu Zixian knew that this was not an illusion, and looking at distant targets for a long time did improve people's eyesight, and it was quite obvious.

After more than a dozen rounds of continuous pulling, his robe was already soaked with sweat, and his arms began to tremble.

But now is not the time to rest, he changed to a hard bow again, which is also the standard bow in the army, and changed the force to ten forces, the standard in the army is eight forces, but for Xu Zixian, ten forces is quite easy.

A pot of thirty arrows, Xu Zi first brought three pots, slowly pulled away, aimed, galloped, he used Mongolian archery, in later generations he went to the bow and arrow hall several times, the purpose is of course not to practice archery, but to see the sister, the result of the sister did not look at him at all, archery is to learn several shooting methods and basic decisions.

After the crossing, Xu Zixian found that there are powerful martial artists in this era, martial arts is not dance, but the secret killing technique in the army, he saw a lot of good hands in his father's army, movements, reactions, skills, are at the peak of the state, Xu Zixian felt that a hundred of them were not a good opponent at that time, and he also knew that it was too difficult for him to get started in martial arts in a short period of time, and the clan attack was to test the bow and horse galloping, he decided to pass this level and then talk about it.

At least have to lay a good foundation for his body, and the current Xu Zixian is at least a strong and powerful young man, and he is a person of two worlds from the previous miserable green boy.

It may be the reason for solving the relationship with Li Yi, Xu Zixian was in a good mood, most of the three pots of arrows were shot at the target placed in the woods on the riverbank, and when he approached, he found that within a hundred steps, they were all on the edge of the target, and some were outside the target.

At 80 paces, all of them hit the target, and many arrows were near the bull's-eye.

At sixty paces, most of the arrows landed near the bull's-eye.

Xu Zi pulled out the arrow first, but he was not complacent.

He had seen sharpshooters in the Qizhou army, and there were no missing arrows within a hundred paces, and most of them were in the bull's-eye.

It is said that there is a sharpshooter on Hedong Road who specializes in dealing with the criminals in the north, and likes to use arrows to give the north captives a "flower arrangement between the eyebrows", in the face of the enemy, each arrow must make the enemy eyebrows within 100 steps, and a pot of arrows is not to be shot, and the enemy has all fled.

Someone once shot hundreds of arrows in an hour and killed more than 100 enemies, which sounded too unreal, but Xu Zixian knew that this was true, and there were shooters in the army who had seen it with their own eyes in the Hedong Road Army, which should be a fact.

Pulling out the arrows one by one from the target and reloading them in the quiver, Xu Zixian walked briskly to the Houfu Courtyard.

This time, I met some villagers who came out to do farm work on the road, and everyone saluted him, and Xu Zixian nodded slightly, which was considered a return of the courtesy.

This is already very polite, these dealers are all flattered, you must know that Xu Zixian has been running back and forth like this for more than three months, and they have also experienced more than three months, and they still look like they can't adapt to it.

Xu Zi first carried the quiver and longbow back to the north building, that is, the building with the well, put the arrows and longbow in a room, and then took off the sweat-soaked robe and replaced it with a new one, and then Xiuniang came in and tacitly took the dirty robe to the well to wash.

Xiuniang took the robe as usual today, but she didn't take it to wash, she said to Xu Zixian: "Shizi, the two fathers and sons, Li Cheng and Li Fu, are waiting to see you in the south building." ”

"Oh......" Xu Zi looked at Xiuniang first, and saw that there was some nervousness on her beautiful face, he knew the end, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I won't give you to Li Fu, I can't bear it." ”

Xiuniang's face turned red and said, "The prince is telling naughty jokes again." ”

Xu Zixian smiled slightly and said, "I never tell naughty jokes when I am serious." ”

A young girl, beautiful in appearance, slim in shape, and a man who loves her. However, Xu Zi has a big deal first, and he can only let go of such things......

The south building is also the courtyard equivalent to the north building, it is the place where the books and antique utensils are stored in the other courtyard, and it is also where the treasury is located, there are only two floors up and down, but it covers a wide area, the first generation of Nan'an Hou is the prince after all, and there are a lot of things brought from Beijing, especially the drum equipment is placed in a room, but now it is not needed.

The south building surrounded by all sides is mostly a warehouse, Xu Zixian's big bow is taken out of an arsenal, and there are 100 good bows inside, more than 100 barrier knives, shields, hundreds of long guns, iron spears, etc.

When the first generation of Nan'an Hou went south, these weapons, drums, and honor guards should have been given by the emperor.

Many things in the Hou Mansion have been sold, but these things, including gold and silver books, must not be taken out for sale, and no merchant dares to collect them.

In a word, they are all royal gifts or forbidden things, who dares to accept them?

Li Cheng's father and son both stayed in the north room of the south building, the large room was a little shabby, there were two rows of tables and chairs in opposite rows, and some calligraphy and paintings were hung on the walls, which still looked quite elegant.

Seeing the determined look of Li Cheng's father and son, Xiuniang's heart was flustered for no reason.

Yesterday she was angry with Li Fu and said something quite taboo, she didn't know what the result would be.

From afar, Li Fu smiled at Xiuniang......

"Miss-" Xiuniang's heart jumped suddenly, and she couldn't help but grab her little sister's hand.

Xiaomei knew what Xiuniang was worried about, and comforted: "Don't worry, if you don't want to, no one can marry you." If you want, the Hou Mansion will give you wages, make a contract, and work here for a year. ”
