When the eastern sky had just turned white, and it was still dusky outside, Li Zhang got dressed and came to the front yard, only to find that most of the people in the family were up, and the old knife, the lame man and the blind were moving their muscles and bones in the yard, but their eyes kept glancing at the wild dog, because the wild dog held a stone lock of hundreds of pounds in his hand and played like a toy, although they could do it, but they could never be as easy as the wild dog.

Lu Wu also lived at home, and at this time he also moved his body in the yard, and then asked the wild dog to stop and began to teach him to practice a set of boxing techniques, in fact, Li Zhang also saw that although Lu Wu taught wild dog martial arts before, he still had some precautions in his heart, so he only taught the wild dog the basic practice method, until he later encountered the ambush of the ghost beggar, and the wild dog desperately saved his life, which made Lu Wu completely let down his guard and began to teach the wild dog some real martial arts.

Martial arts are used to be called martial arts in later generations, in fact, martial arts and martial arts are two different things, "gong" is the practice of law, mainly to increase people's strength, speed, reaction ability, etc., these wild dogs have a natural advantage, even others practice hard can not compare with him, and "wu" is to bring out the ability of the body, knock down or even kill the opponent at the minimum cost, in short, it is the skill of killing.

Lu Wu's martial arts come from the army, that is, Taizu long fist and a set of Taizu dragon sticks, although Zhao Kuangyin is not in the right position, but he has to say that he is a martial arts master, on the basis of his predecessors to create Taizu long fist and a set of stick methods, and he is not a person who cherishes himself, he recorded his martial arts and sent them to the army for the soldiers in the army to study, so these two sets of martial arts in the Song army almost everyone will.

However, everyone will not mean that everyone is proficient, the same is to learn these two sets of martial arts, some people can fight ten with one, but some people can't even beat a splash, Lu Wu's martial arts are quite exquisite, even if they are put in the army, they are rare masters, and now they are very serious about teaching wild dogs, and wild dogs are also quite talented in this area, and a set of punches is also murderous.

Lu Wu and the wild dog were practicing boxing here, but the three of them also stopped their activities at this time and stood aside to watch, and seeing them nodding their heads again and again, they seemed to be very satisfied with the wild dog, which made Li Zhang's heart move, and he had to find a way to let them teach their unique skills to the wild dog in the future.

"Big brother, can I really do it, what if something goes wrong?" At this moment, Douzi suddenly came to Li Zhang with a nervous face and asked, although it was still early, he and Li Yonghe and others had already had breakfast and were ready to leave for the Jingcang grassland in the east of the city to hand over, and Li Yonghe would be the chief official of this grassland in the future.

"What's not good, there is a fixed number of entry and exit in the pasture, you only need to follow the accounting method in our store, and record these entry and exit items in detail, remember to bring the account book back at night, I will help you check it!" Li Zhang patted Douzi on the shoulder at this time and said, among these children, Douzi is the smartest and learns things the fastest, and now the account books in the store are all from him, so Li Zhang asked him to help Li Yonghe, and by the way, he also exercised his ability.

"Young master, according to the rules of each yamen, the account book cannot be brought back to the private house, otherwise it will not be good to be caught!" As soon as Li Zhang's words fell, I saw an old official with gray hair coming over and grinning.

This old official's surname is Qiu, he was originally an unambitious old official in the Xiangfu County Ya, and he is still a low-level scribe after decades, Lu Wu and he have known each other for a long time, and he thinks that he is not a bad person, and he is clear about the affairs of officialdom, so he recommended him to Li Yonghe, Lao Qiu is also ecstatic about this opportunity, after all, Jingcang Grassland is much more promising than the small county government, so during this time, he is also running before and after, and he is almost becoming the housekeeper of the Li family.

"Oh, you should have a solution to that old feud, right?" Li Zhang asked Lao Qiu with a smile at this time.

"Actually, it's simple, it's a big deal to let the beans copy another copy to make a copy, and the young master will burn it after reading it, so that others can't catch any tricks." Lao Qiu said with a smile at this time, this old man is a good person, he has long seen that although the Li family has Li Yonghe, it is Li Zhang who is really in charge, not to mention that Li Zhang is still the prince's companion, and he has a bright future in the future, so he has been stammering in every way these days.

"Huh? Do you want to copy it again? Douzi's face collapsed even more when he heard this, he regretted it a little now, and felt that it was better to guard the store.

"It's like you're practicing calligraphy, and you can write numbers directly, don't mark Chinese characters, so that ordinary people can't understand it." Li Zhang immediately spoke again, Arabic numerals have not yet been circulated, and now except for him and Douzi, other people can't understand it at all.

Hearing Li Zhang say this, Douzi could only nod helplessly and agree, in fact, Li Zhang is also thinking about Douzi, the way out of business is still too small after all, and their father and son also need helpers when they enter the officialdom, so now he has begun to consciously cultivate Douzi, and even has Huozi them, as long as they are willing, he can find a way to let them enter the officialdom.

At this time, Li Yonghe was also ready, and immediately called Douzi and Lao Qiu, and the group got on the donkey cart that had been prepared a long time ago, and this donkey cart was newly bought by the family, in order to facilitate Li Yonghe to go to the pasture in the future.

"Yonghe, now that you are an official, don't gamble anymore in the future, do things well, don't give ...... Don't be ashamed! At this time, Lu Wu stepped forward and said earnestly, but when he said the end, he paused for some reason, and his face showed a somewhat silent look.

Today's Li Yonghe was wearing an official uniform, and the beard on his face was also very neatly trimmed, and when he heard Lu Wu's words, he nodded solemnly and said, "Brother Wu, don't worry, I will never mess around again!" ”

When Li Yonghe said this, his eyes also looked at Li Zhang, and he opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but he still couldn't say it, but Li Zhang took the initiative to say at this time: "What I want to say Uncle Wu has said for me, there are many affairs in the grassland, you also have to pay attention to your body!" ”

"Hmm!" Li Yonghe also had a sour nose when he heard Li Zhang's words, and then nodded heavily, although Li Zhang had a lot of ideas for him to be an official during this time, he always felt that there was a gap between himself and Li Zhang, but this can't be blamed on Li Zhang, after all, he was sorry for Li Zhang's brothers and sisters first, and now it is not easy for Li Zhang to do this.

It's not early, Li Yonghe and others finally drove the donkey cart away, Li Zhang also went to have breakfast at this time, because according to the agreement, the carriage that took him to Zishantang was also about to arrive, and Li Zhang's treatment as a companion was much stronger than Li Yonghe's, although there was no grade, but there were carriages coming and going, and there was also a waist card to enter the palace, and he could enter and leave the palace at any time.

Sure enough, just after Li Zhang had breakfast, the carriage that picked him up in the palace came, Li Zhang immediately got into the carriage, although the carriage was protected by two guards, but Lu Wu was still not at ease, so he let the blind follow, and he would come back when Li Zhang entered the palace.

After saying goodbye to Lu Wu and the others, Li Zhang sat in the carriage and looked out the window at the street that began to be lively, the official residence he rented was in the area of Xijiaolou Street, not far from Wuqi Street, which was also convenient for Li Zhang to go to the shops on Wuqi Street from time to time, as for Huozi and Ugly Niang, they did not live here because they had to take care of business.

The carriage walked a few hundred steps along the West Jiaolou Street to the Zhulu Street, which is located on the south side of the Imperial City, bypassing the Imperial City along this road, and finally came to the east side of the Imperial City, and then turned to the Gaotou Street next to the Imperial City all the way to the north, and finally entered the Imperial City through the Donghua Gate, yes, it was the Donghua Gate that posted the yellow list after the imperial examination.

The imperial palace of the Great Song Dynasty is not like the Tang Dynasty, but there is an important place on the east side of the imperial city, that is, the Zishan Hall for the prince to study, which is the destination of Li Zhang today, and next to the Zishan Hall, there is a place called the Liushang Bureau, the so-called Liushang, in fact, it is the Shangshi Bureau, the Shangyao Bureau, the Shangyi Bureau, the Shangshe Bureau, the Shangtby Bureau, and the Shanglin Bureau, which are mainly responsible for the emperor's usual life.

At this time, the sun had just risen, and when Li Zhang got out of the carriage and entered Zishan Hall, he found that it was actually more like a large garden than a school, with rockery ponds everywhere, and winding paths and paths could be seen everywhere, and you might get lost if you were not careful.

"It's really corrupt, Zhao Zhen has to build such a big garden when he is studying alone, and the courtyard I live in is simply shabby compared to here!" Li Zhang looked around as he walked, and at the same time muttered in a low voice, Zhao Heng did not build a palace during his reign, originally the palace of the Great Song Dynasty was very small, and the building was also very simple, but when Zhao Heng became the emperor, the entire palace was almost renovated by him.

In addition, the Yuqing Zhaoying Palace that Liu E summoned him last time, Li Zhang only felt familiar at the time, and then remembered that this so-called Yuqing Palace was also built by Zhao Heng, and the person responsible for supervising the construction was the famous traitor Ding Wei, in order to build this large-scale palace, Zhao Heng spent hundreds of millions of copper coins, almost the total financial income of the Great Song Dynasty for two years, and it can even be comparable to Qin Shihuang's Afang Palace.

In addition, there is an important thing enshrined in the Yuqing Palace, that is, the book of heaven discovered by Zhao Heng's self-directed and self-acting, and it is no wonder that when Li Zhang went to the Yuqing Palace last time, he felt that it was very religious, in fact, it was a combination of the palace and the Taoist temple.

Li Zhang followed the small chamberlain who led the way through the corridors, and finally came to an exquisite cool house built on a small lake, the so-called cool house, in fact, is a kind of summer summer room, generally built at the water's edge, the waterwheel next to it lifts the water to the top, and then flows down from the roof, in order to reduce the temperature in the house, and now it is almost summer, especially at noon, it is quite hot, so Zhao Zhen also moved here.

As soon as Li Zhang entered the room, he immediately saw two bookcases in the room, Zhao Zhen was already sitting behind one of the bookcases shaking his head and reading, and when he saw Li Zhang, he also exclaimed with joy on his face: "Cousin, come quickly, I've been waiting for you for a long time!" ”
