Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Double-Faced River Fish (Part II)
"This Jiangcheng, if there were no Jiang Xiaoyu, I don't know what the chaos would be. Yang Laosan mentioned that Jiang Xiaoyu was still very admirable.
"How chaotic this place in Jiangcheng used to be, Chang Zuoling, you probably don't know. If you really know the history of Jiangcheng, you will know why we are all willing to pay peace money. ”
"Peace money, peace money. This is the money that really buys peace. Don't say anything, it's their duty to keep the rangers safe. No money, no use for any duties. ”
Yang Laosan couldn't say any big reason, so he could only use the examples he knew to talk to Chang Ke.
"In the past, it was very difficult to buy and sell in the East Side. Because there is no guarantee here. There will always be all kinds of problems......"
Yang Laosan told Chang Ke everything he had experienced in Jiangcheng in the past.
In the academy, Teacher Li said to the head of the academy helplessly: "Chief, this Jiang Xiaoyu's liberal arts grades are too poor. I can't do it well. Although you always say that he has a heart, his study atmosphere is not good, and I am afraid that he will affect other students. ”
The mountain chief of Jiangcheng Academy is named Li Shan, and he is already an old man in his seventies. A long white beard is his signature symbol, as is the crown of his bare head.
Li Shan has said many times that a smart head does not grow hair. I'm probably extremely smart, but my hair growth is still very vigorous, which is why I have such a beautiful white beard.
Li Shan is especially protective of his beard, and even prepares a special beard to protect them in winter. At the same time, we also use the oil used to maintain the beard. After all, there is no hair on the top of the head, and the mouth still needs to be a little, otherwise it will be bare and become a duck pear.
Listening to Teacher Li's complaints, Li Shan touched his beloved beard and said, "Teacher Li, you come to complain about how boring Jiang Xiaoyu is every day." He has been in the academy for three years. I'm graduating soon. Can't you get rid of him now?"
"Not really. It's Jiang Xiaoyu...... Well, I don't know what to say about him. You say he's not smart, he's smart, he's smart! We don't talk darkly, the Jiangcheng market has been peaceful in recent years, the gangsters have become less fighting, and the business has improved, and this is inseparable from Jiang Xiaoyu's contributions. If it weren't for his unified collection of money, unified distribution of money, and division of the Jiangcheng officials, would the Jiangcheng rangers have the influence they have today? Can they suppress the three major gangs? And then they can integrate these three gangs to fight against the Jiangcheng Iron and Steel Plant?"
"So, Jiang Xiaoyu is a very smart person. I've never denied that. Teacher Li couldn't help but shake his head when he said this: "But Jiang Xiaoyu has used too much of his ingenuity in these mundane things. Rather than on top of his studies, it consumed too much of his energy. If only he could get involved less in this area and read more seriously......"
Li Shan laughed twice after hearing Teacher Li say this: "In this way, Jiang Xiaoyu will be able to study better and achieve better results, and then have the opportunity to be admitted to Taixue and become a Taixue student?"
"Yes. ”
"Teacher Li, Teacher Li. Do you think Jiang Xiaoyu's talent has been wasted?"
"Yes, although some teachers in my academy look down on Jiang Xiaoyu, they think that everything he does by using the power of a ranger is out of line, and they think that he collects black money or something. But don't tell lies, with the current status quo of Jiangcheng. If there were no small fish in Jiangcheng, how chaotic would the market in Jiangcheng be? How many people with small businesses and traders would not be able to survive? The ideal country in the books is naturally good, but if we want to build such an ideal country, we must have the means!"
"Jiang Xiaoyu is a person with means and courage, he can't sink in Jiangcheng. He has a bigger world to open up, he needs to go to the imperial capital, he needs to go to the Taixue Academy. Didn't the mountain chief come to his hometown in Jiangcheng from the imperial capital because he was disappointed by the corruption and darkness of the imperial capital'......s officialdom?
Before Mr. Li finished speaking, he was interrupted by Li Shan: "Then this drop of cold water will soon evaporate directly, in addition to the crackling sound of this pot of hot oil." And this will also be the end of Jiang Xiaoyu. It is not a drop of cold water that stimulates this pot of hot oil, but a pair of hands that can draw from the bottom of the kettle. I was able to retreat with my whole body back then, and now Jiang Xiaoyu really went to the imperial capital, I am afraid that he does not even have the capital to return to Jiangcheng to continue his leisurely life. ”
Li Shan stood up, and the white beard that reached his chest was windless: "The current Jiang Xiaoyu is still a piece of unpolished and experienced jade. I agreed that Jiang Xiaoyu would enter the academy because of his persistence. Rather, I saw something different in him. ”
As he spoke, Li Shan took out a letter from his chest. Teacher Li glanced at it, and then said in a lost voice: "Mountain Chief, this is!"
"Hehe, the old man has been living for 70 years, and he is somewhat capable. There are also recommendations for interview admissions at Imperial Taixue. ”
"But doesn't this kind ......of recommendation need to be made a great achievement, and only one person can be recommended?
"It's all something that doesn't work, don't waste what I put together back then. Jiang Xiaoyu still lacks polishing, as long as he can polish a piece of beautiful jade, he will naturally be able to enter the Imperial Taixue Academy for further study. I'm bullish on him. ”
"Then what you mean by polishing is ......"
"Solve the problem of Jiangcheng Iron and Steel Plant, bring down Long Sihai, and empty the high-level of Jiangcheng Iron and Steel Plant. ”
"But he's just a ranger leader, how can it be?!"
"Isn't this Wang Shixiang coming? Do you think this old dog came to Jiangcheng just because he was demoted?"
"You mean ......"
"Hehe, I can only say that the war in the imperial capital has burned to Jiangcheng. The contradiction between the royal family and the right minister has become bigger and bigger. In this world, there is only one piece of pastry, but there can't be two knife bearers. ”
"Hmm......"
"Whether it can change depends on Jiang Xiaoyu's own. He's very capable, even if you think the answers to the questions he answers are not bullshit. But I still think he's a man with his own wisdom. Laws were enacted when needed to lay the foundation for the stable rule of the royal family. This answer is naturally inconsistent with the standard answer of the book, but how much in line with reality. There are so many people who are blinded by a leaf, and there are many people who are also clouds. People who can think for themselves are what this empire needs most. The empire has been peaceful for more than 600 years, but it does not mean that this country can be peaceful forever. ”
Jiang Xiaoyu may never know that the head of the Jiangcheng Academy, who is always the head of the academy without seeing the end of the dragon, will have such a high opinion of himself. Because I haven't actually seen him a few times.
And now Jiang Xiaoyu knows that he has to deal with a more troublesome character.
"Sand sculpture, how did you find my house. ”
“...... Don't call me a sand sculpture!" Chang Ke was so angry that his liver qi was stagnant.
