In the third year of Yonghui (652 AD), November 11.

Double 11 is a sad festival, singles and chop hands, and it is also the busiest time for Wukang, and the future generations will accompany his father to manage the pear orchard, panting and tired into a dog. Even after the crossing, it is a sad day. After Shengtang finished handling the case, Jiu Niang continued to be a demon and made waves in the office.

Commanded the officials to clean up and throw out a lot of garbage. Wu Kang has a feeling that after cleaning up the garbage, he will also be cleaned up. It was easy to get to the lower ya, the judicial yamen was thunderous, and all the officials of the three guards, except for the six unlucky ones on duty, all went to the banquet to congratulate Wu Kang on his promotion.

With the help of Jiu Niang, Wu Kang changed into ordinary clothes and led the black wind horse to send her home. As the pig's feet of the banquet, naturally can not be absent, by the way go home to explain like smoke, don't stay at night, ride a horse to rush to the flower building.

Before he left Jinhua Avenue, he was stopped by a man in black. In the unmanned alley, Xiucai of the undercover underworld forces reported cautiously: "It's all clear, there are seven ruffian gangs in Wuzhou that meet the standards of Wu Shuai." There are four in the south city, two in the middle city, and one in the north city. The subordinates and Qian Shun and Erniu are undercover in the southern faction, which is the largest one, and the den is in the craftsman alley. ”

The biggest ruffian gang in Wuzhou is actually in the craftsman alley, under my nose, it's really ironic. Wu Kang sneered again and again, pondered for a moment and said, "What is your current identity, have you gained the trust of the leader, and do you have the right to speak?" ”

Xiucai lowered his voice and said, "The work is going well, and we are the leaders and henchmen. Yesterday I proposed to him to clean up the other three factions in Nancheng, and he has agreed that there will be a big move soon. Dare to ask Wu Shuai, what should the three of us do when we are in a hurry? ”

Wu Kang wrinkled his eyebrows and pondered for a long time, and instructed Xiucai: "First of all, ensure personal safety, and secondly, remember your identity, you are court officials, not ruffians!" Give you the right to act cheaply, and give you another two months to become the head of the southern faction and clear the three gangs. Be careful to try to kill as few people as possible. ”

Xiucai nodded and was about to leave, but Wu Kang stopped him again, took off the money bag on his waist, and said in silence: "Wen Ruo's family, life is okay!" Mrs. Wen is disabled, a woman with two children... Xiucai, send them this money, and tell your subordinates to protect them secretly. ”

Xiucai took the money bag, nodded heavily and turned to leave, and soon disappeared into the alley. Wu Kang let out a long sigh and continued to rush to Huamanlou. When I came to Dongming Avenue, there were many pedestrians on the street, so I got off the horse and led them. In case Heifeng is frightened and speeding, even if there is no traffic accident, he will have to be whipped fifty.

Sometimes I feel that Tang Lu is very pitiful, and even if he is speeding in the future, he will not be whipped. All the way to Huamanlou without saying a word, the guy took the reins and served, the Soviet army division hurried to catch up, Shi Li reported the situation: "According to the orders of Wu Gong, a total of twenty seats, six people per table, except for six people on duty, all one hundred and twenty people have arrived." ”

Wu Kang hummed and walked in, the hall was full of tables, and the black press was full of people. The meal has been served, no one is moving chopsticks, and they are all waiting for their own words.

When everyone saw Wu Kang, they all got up and saluted, and Wu Kang also bowed and motioned for them to sit down.

The Soviet military division spoke: "Colleagues, today is a good day, Wu Gong has been promoted to the judiciary to join the army, and he will have a banquet and enjoy with you. It's not cheap to spend a full building, and our January salary is not enough to eat a meal here. You must remember well and do your best to assist Wu Gong! Next, I would like to invite Wu Gong to speak. ”

Thunderous applause rang out, and Wu Kang couldn't laugh or cry. At the original chicken distribution conference, he put on a clapping routine, in order to shoot Cui Yixuan's ass, but now he is backslapped by his subordinates. In such a scene, it must be said twice, the applause under the hands stopped, and the cough and cough twice straightened the chest: "Brothers! This one... Eat and drink well! ”

The atmosphere was a little awkward, Jiang Daniu hurriedly came out to save his respect, took the lead in applauding, and soon the hall was a mess. Wu Kang didn't bother to pay attention to it, and was led by the Soviet army division to sit at the table. At the table were all the leaders of the judicial yamen: Lao Su, the dog-headed military teacher, Jiang Daniu, the bad handsome, Cheng Jiulian, the head of the yawei team, Qin Changshan, the prison guard, and Chen Linran, the head of the team.

It didn't take much time, and the atmosphere reached a climax, like a toad pit after the rain. The minions are all rough people, drinking wine and eating meat in big bowls, and the noise can tear down the roof and provoke passers-by to look sideways. Wu Kang didn't care, and talked happily with his right-hand men.

After three glasses of wine, Dr. Wine trotted over, leaned over and whispered. Wu Kang nodded after hearing this, rewarded him with a tip of two cents, and said to the people at the table: "There are a few friends on it, I'll go over and say hello." Greetings brothers, go to the Tianzi box to find me if you have something. ”

After speaking, he stood up, followed Dr. Jiu upstairs, came to the Tianzi box, and met his fox friends and dogs. After greeting enthusiastically, Lu Mushan first complained: "Erlang, you are not kind, Huamanlou is the first restaurant for literati and scholars, and poetry and ink." What do you want to bring a bunch of rough guys here? ”

Wu Kang ignored him, sat next to Cui Wu, glanced at everyone, and found that there were two missing, so he asked Cui Wu: "Why didn't Zheng Da and Sun San come?" When the morning opened, you were still watching together. ”

As soon as these words came out, the second generation burst into laughter, and he was in a fog. Cui Wu poured him full of wine, and said with a smile: "Both of them are confined to the house, Zheng Dalang for two months, Sun Sanlang for one month." Especially Zheng Da, who was hung up and pumped by Uncle Zheng. Speaking of which, it's your reason. ”

What's the matter with me? Wu Kang was even more stunned, and Lu Mushan explained: "Zheng Da believes in your evil, after our last meeting, he went home and acted immediately, building a pond to raise termites." Not to mention, he really made it, he really made the white wax, and was praised by Uncle Zheng. The Tian Shenu came to us to show off, looking like a villain. ”

Wu Kang couldn't help but be happy, Zheng Da had the spirit of exploration, and said with a smile: "This is a good thing, the brothers are going to get rich, a piece of white wax, to say the least, can be sold for two cents." I think so, in our chicken farm, open up a place to raise termites. ”

"The hero sees the same thing, and we think the same way", Qin Yu took over and said: "I remember that Erlang said that termites can demolish the house, so Zheng Da was unlucky." Listening to the Zheng family, Uncle Zheng's legs suddenly broke in the chair he was sitting on, and Uncle Zheng rolled several heels. Later, termites were found on the broken leg, and without saying a word, Zheng Da was retrieved, and he was beaten hard... Retribution! ”

Everyone began to laugh, Wu Kang was also happy, thought for a while and said, "Brothers, I suggested that the chicken farm raise termites, and that's because of this." Not to mention green bricks and wood, even steel, will be corroded by formic acid. Termites are food for chickens, and the fish that run out of the ant pond will be eaten by our chickens. ”

"Erlang is right, this can minimize the harm," said Wang Fang, who joined the army as a member of the army, "We have reached an agreement to raise termites in chicken farms according to Erlang's method." It's still the old rule, Erlang doesn't have to pay, we will give you 10% of the shares. ”

Wu Kang was about to postpone it, but Sun Mingji stopped him: "Erlang, don't postpone, without your idea, there will be no such financial road." To tell the truth, giving you a share is the common meaning of adults, and even Cui Gong acquiesced. ”

Seeing Cui Wu who nodded, Wu Kang was sincerely pleased. can be mixed in Wuzhou, and at the age of eighteen, he joined the army as a judicial officer, all of which were covered by Lao Cui. Assassin History, Record Join the Army, and the other five major join the army, except for those who are not familiar with the Sergeant to join the army, the rest are involved in the industrial chain. Maintaining the bonds of interpersonal communication is only common interests.

Thinking that this would not be postponed any longer, he thanked everyone one by one, and finally asked Cui Wulang: "Zheng Da suffered by himself, and he deserved to be unlucky." What's the matter with Sun Li's Tian Shenu, who is also raising termites at home? Why did Uncle Sun ban him, and he was banned for a month. ”

"Okay, you are a Tian Shenu, you speak ill of people behind your back, and you are not afraid of being struck by lightning?" , The door opened, and Sun Li appeared outside the door, his face full of disdain, and he still had a package in his hand. Dodge into the house and close the door, mysteriously open the package, revealing a pile of mushrooms.

Chicken fir fungus... My God, Wu Kang's eyes are quick, he snatched the package, and held it in his arms like a baby. Seeing that everyone was puzzled, he smiled and said: "This thing is called chicken fir fungus, which grows with termite nests, and tastes like chicken, so it is named." ”

Feeling that he was a little inferior, Wu Kang reopened the package, thought about it for a moment and began to distribute, divided it into eight equal parts, wrapped his own one, looked at everyone and said, "Each of you brothers has one share, and there is more than this... Lu San, you let people take it to the back kitchen, put some salt and meat to cook, it is absolutely delicious in the world! ”

Everyone was full of disbelief, and Lu San called Dr. Wine and took it to the back kitchen to deal with it according to his words. Sun Li sat down and said mysteriously: "Zheng Da is so miserable, the door is locked by Uncle Zheng." I slipped in, and he threw the package out of the window, saying that the party would not come, and that he would make amends with these things. But then again, is this stuff really delicious? ”

Cui Wu said: "Erlang won't lie to us, if it's not delicious, Zheng Da won't let you bring it." Sun San, what's the matter with you, why did Uncle Sun ban you? ”

Sun Li instantly made a bitter face, sat next to Wu Kang, and sighed: "The New Year is coming soon, and the spring ploughing begins after the New Year, and the adult joins the army as a Sicang, and his official duties are the busiest." Stay in the warehouse every day, urge craftsmen to overhaul spring ploughing tools, go to the stable to verify the ploughing cattle, and count the farmers who rent ploughing cattle in the coming year, and they are very busy. ”

Everyone understood when they heard this, Sicang joined the army Sun Yingyuan, and he has been cultivating Sun Li as his successor, hoping that he will become familiar with official affairs as soon as possible and recommend him to the imperial court in the future. Lu San smiled evilly and gloated: "You kid sneaked out, listened to Erlang's trial, and was grounded for a month." Now he sneaks out to drink, and he will definitely be beaten when he goes back. ”

Sun Lisheng had nothing to love, glanced at the silent Wu Kang, blinked and joked: "You have to take care of Erlang, I heard that you were holding a banquet in Huamanlou, and ran out while the adults were not paying attention." When the banquet is over, you have to go home with me and help me intercede with the adults. ”

"Come on, I don't have such a big face, I really go home with you, Uncle Sun even scolded me", Wu Kang said disdainfully: "Spring ploughing is the top priority, and no one dares to delay." Even the saints of Chang'an City preside over the spring ploughing ceremony every year. In other words, it is not difficult to plow the land, I can do it when I am thirteen years old, and I will plow seven acres of land at home, and I will plow it in three days. ”

Sun immediately scoffed, pouting with a face full of disbelief: "Erlang Shao said nonsense, you can control the cow at the age of thirteen, and I don't believe it if you kill me." The cow is stubborn and ruthless, fighting and rushing backwards, ordinary people can't control it, and they need a special bull handle. ”

Qin Yu helped from the side: "San Lang is right, the cow is indeed not easy to control, not to mention the thirteen-year-old you, even if you are tall and strong now, you may not be able to control the farming cow." The best cow handle in Wuzhou can only plough one acre of land every day. ”

Everyone nodded, Wu Kang was a little confused, frowning and recalling carefully. When I was a child, I didn't have a tractor at home, so I used oxen to plow the land. There are a few acres of pear orchards at home, and my father is busy selling pears, and I plow seven acres of land. At the age of thirteen, he drove the old cattle at home, easily ploughed in three days, and then planted wheat with a cocoon cart.

Seeing that they were incredulous, Wu Kang sneered: "I don't tell lies, I'm alone, ploughing and sowing wheat, and I can easily do it in four days." Besides, my family's seven acres of land are equivalent to eight and a half acres now. Don't believe you..."

Unable to stand the contempt of everyone, Wu Kang glared at the bull's eye and said: "The scalper is very docile, how can you say that it is evil?" Could it be that the cattle in Wuzhou are all Spanish bullfighting? Are they all bull demon kings? Even if he is a bull demon king, he is wearing a nose ring, and he can lead his nose..."

The words stopped abruptly, Wu Kang subconsciously opened his mouth wide, looked at the second generation who looked at each other, lowered his voice and wondered: "Don't cows wear nose rings now?" That is, in front of the septum of the cow's nose, there is the thinnest place, which is disinfected with alcohol and penetrated with a copper ring. ”

The second generation was dumbfounded, the corners of Wu Kang's mouth hooked up a wicked smile, pulled down the collar and touched the collarbone, looked at Cui Wu and said: "Wulang has seen the legend of the White Snake, Xu Xian was pierced through the collarbone by an iron hook, and an iron chain was hung on the iron hook, and the official pulled the iron chain to hurry. This is similar to the ox wearing the nose ring, the nose ring pulls the reins, and the ox must obey the command to let it go east and not west. ”

Cui Wu subconsciously shrank his neck, and after a few breaths, he said: "The Legend of the White Snake is a story after all, and I know it is real." I had a friend's father, who had been exiled to Lingnan, and he told a story. The local Yi people are extremely savage, and when they are adults, they rob women as wives and penetrate iron rings through their earlobes to prevent them from escaping. ”

Wu Kang also shrunk his neck, isn't this the origin of "earrings"? It was originally a torture instrument to prevent women from escaping, but it slowly became fashionable. Carefully searching for memories, Jiu Niang has no ear piercings, and there is no smoke. Such as cigarette jewelry boxes, there are no earrings. I have been in Datang for so long, and I really haven't found a woman wearing earrings, and it is estimated that it has not been introduced to the Central Plains.

Everyone's faces were serious, and there was excitement in their eyes, Lu Mushan opened the door and looked left and right, and instructed Dr. Jiu to open the door, re-enter the seat and say: "The cow's nose is pierced to control the cow, I believe Erlang's words." However, the law of this dynasty stipulates that it is a crime to harm the cultivated cattle, and it is best for us to ask the adults and let them decide whether to try it or not. ”

Sun Li deeply agreed, and there was some excitement in his words: "Give the words to Yeye, and you will definitely not be beaten." I also believe it now, as long as the cow wears the nose ring, the thirteen-year-old Erlang can indeed control the cow. But there is another point, even if the cattle are not lazy, they can't plow an acre in a day. How does Erlang do three acres a day, and the plough you use is different from ours? ”

Wu Kang was suddenly enlightened, and slapped his thigh excitedly, how could he forget the Quyuan plow, the number one artifact of the traverser. However, at the same time, I was empowered by cold water, and I was just a physical education teacher, so I didn't know how to make a Quyuan plow.

After struggling for a long time, recalling the appearance of the plough at home, painting the tiger according to the cat, he looked at Lu San and said: "Let people prepare paper and pencils, I will draw the plow at home, and Sun San will find a craftsman to design and manufacture it." After the construction is improved, if you can really cultivate three acres a day, that is..."

"Great merit", Qin Yu rubbed his hands excitedly, and his face turned red: "Just now Sun San said that an old farmer with rich experience in driving cattle can only plow one acre of land a day. If anyone can plough two or three acres a day, and adults will be promoted to officials, we can all be officials. ”

Lu San is a man of action, and he personally went to the study to get the four treasures of the study. Wu Kang closed his eyes and pondered, trying to recall the plough structure of his hometown, sketching it over and over again in his mind. Waiting for Lu San to bring paper and pen, he picked up the pen and did it overnight. Seven heads come together to discuss the new plow.

After thorough research, Cui Wu splashed ink and drew seven drawings in a row. Wu Kang put away the original manuscript and threw it into the corner in a group, the painter was too embarrassed. The second generation put away the drawings closely, turned on the mockery mode, and said that the three-year-old child's letter pen graffiti was better than his drawing, and the angry Wukang nose was crooked.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and Dr. Jiu held the iron pot and carefully placed it on the table. Wu Kang couldn't bear to take the chopsticks, put the mushroom in his mouth, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and the chopsticks stretched out into the pot again. The second generation screamed, dropped the chopsticks and took the white paper, packed the chicken fir fungus, and put it in their arms.

"Erlang, slow down", Cui Wu hurriedly lifted the chopsticks, and everyone didn't care about the image or the temperature of the soup, eating haha chicken fir mushrooms, and they didn't even have a mouth to praise. After eating, they all lay comfortably on their chairs, and they were full of praise.

Cui Wu's eyes rolled, and he said with a strange smile: "Our mushrooms have to be filial to adults, and we will definitely not be able to eat them." I said Erlang, your parents are not in Wuzhou, and they can't do their filial piety. As... Don't worry, Brother Wei will definitely speak well in front of Ye Ye and persuade him to marry Jiu Niang to you. ”

Wu Kang was completely confused, this grandson sold his own sisters for food! I didn't bother to take care of him, so I hummed and laughed: "Mine is not eaten by myself, half of it is given to Jiuniang, and half is given to Chang'an's cousin, so that she can also taste the delicious taste of the world." ”

Lu San said disdainfully: "It's no problem to give it to Jiu Niang, but it is very difficult to give it to Wu Zhaoyi in the palace." The post station is very strict, not to mention you, an eight-rank official, even if you are Cui Gong, you can't use the post station to pass and think that the official document is what you think. ”

Sun Li nodded again and again, took over and said: "San Lang is right, you can't go to the post station, you can only ask the monks and Taoist priests to travel to Fang." Even if they arrived in Chang'an, they would not be able to enter the palace, let alone the harem. So this chicken fir fungus, Zhaoyi will definitely not be able to eat it! ”

This basin of cold water was splashed, Wu Kang had a bitter face for a moment, and there was no express delivery in the Tang Dynasty. The post station can only take Kumon... Wrong! His eyes became brighter and brighter, and he thought of a poem: A concubine laughs on a red dust, and no one knows that it is a lychee.

Tang Xuanzong Li Longji not only created Liyuan opera, but was regarded as the ancestor by the singers. It also created a precedent for express delivery, and the post station system transported lychees, and the express delivery industry of later generations should also regard him as the ancestor!

Bold ideas poured into my mind, if I wrote to the imperial court, suggested that the post station carry out post office and express delivery business, did you have a head? If it is really done, when his subordinates arrest the criminals, they can also yell loudly: Open the door, your SF Express has arrived.
