Coming out of Tong Guan's official room, Li Yanqing immediately went to the military mansion to go through the leave procedures, he didn't want to be caught by someone to leave the barracks without permission, and when he came out of the military mansion, Li Yanqing heard someone call him behind him, and when he turned around, he saw that it was Uncle Zhang.

Li Yanqing hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "See Sima for your humble position!" ”

"I'm no longer Sima, in two days I'm going to go to the Daimyo Mansion to take up my post and serve as the prefect of the Daimyo's Mansion, replacing Liang Zhongshu, and Liang Zhongshu will enter Beijing as the head of the household."

This position is not bad, from the original Xuzhou Zhizhou to the prefect of the Daimyo Mansion, promoted by more than one level, Li Yanqing nodded, "Then congratulations to Gong Zhang!" ”

Uncle Zhang sneered, "It is estimated that some people are afraid that I will continue to study, so they don't dare to suppress me anymore, and promote me to the prefect with the merit of the bandits." ”

Speaking of this, Uncle Zhang sighed again, "It's just a pity that he's handsome." ”

Li Yanqing said lightly: "The traitorous ministers are in charge, the demons are dancing wildly, at this time, it is a wise move to keep a low profile and forbearance, and to preserve the strength, I believe that one day the shuai will make a comeback!" ”

Uncle Zhang glanced at Li Yanqing in surprise, he didn't expect him to see the problem so thoroughly, but the Seed Master Dao is old, and there may not be a day when he will make a comeback, he nodded, "I heard just now that you have requested to be transferred, have you approved it?" ”

"The appointment order has not yet come down, but the leave procedures have been completed, and I plan to return to Beijing for a month."

"And when are you going to leave?"

"I'm going to leave today, and before I go, I'll go to the barracks and say goodbye to a few old friends, and then to the cavalry."

Uncle Zhang sighed and said: "I want to advise you, it's okay to say goodbye to a few old friends, but don't say goodbye to the army, you will be suspicious of someone, as you just said, you should be low-key and forbearant at this time, and it is too sensitive to say goodbye to the army." ”

Li Yanqing came to his senses and hurriedly gave a salute, "Thank you Zhang Gong Jinyu for your words, Yanqing remembered." ”

Uncle Zhang patted him on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Go!" Hopefully we will have a day to work together. ”

"There will definitely be!"

Li Yanqing immediately said goodbye to Zhang Shuye, and he said goodbye to Tang Huai, Niu Gao, Liu Jian and others one by one, and then rode out of the barracks and headed for Puzhou.

．．．．．．．．

Three days later, Li Yanqing returned to Bianjing, and a group of six people rode through the quiet suburbs and ridges, and gradually walked into the lively and noisy Bianjing City, where shops were one after another, shouting, selling, bargaining, leading camel caravans full of goods, tea shops with clusters of people, boats coming and going in the Bianhe River, and the endless streams, Li Yanqing actually had a feeling of entering the WTO, everything made him feel so cordial, but so far away.

"Look, Bao Yan Zhai's fleet!" Yang Guang suddenly pointed to a fleet of boats on the Bianhe River and shouted.

Li Yanqing also saw it, and saw a fleet of about 20 large cargo ships passing through the Hongqiao and heading towards the dock that was already close at hand, with a red pennant on the bow of each ship, on which were written three big black characters of Baoyan Zhai, and the waterline of the ships was very deep, carrying heavy cargo.

"I smell grease!" Mo Jun smiled slightly.

Mo Jun had worked as a bookkeeper in Baoyanzhai for a few months, and he was quite familiar with the cargo process of Baoyanzhai, and he knew that the heaviest goods in Baoyanzhai were either grease or spices, and if it was spices, both sides would smell a strong fragrance.

The six of them went to Hongqiao, and Li Yanqing pointed to the Hongqiao tavern in front of him with a horsewhip and said with a smile: "Let's go eat something first and drink a glass of good wine!" ”

When everyone heard that they could drink wine, their faces couldn't help but show yearning, they were a group of six people, in addition to Li Yanqing, Mo Jun and Yang Guang, there were three Li Yanqing's personal soldiers, who were originally the personal soldiers of the Seed Master Dao in Hedong Road, and later followed Li Yanqing, and all surnamed Zhang, Li Yanqing hid their real names, and named them Zhang Hu, Zhang Bao, Zhang Ying, are three extremely tall and majestic young men, and their martial arts are very strong.

The appearance of six people on horseback on the streets of Bianjing is generally rare, unless it is the army, or the powerful family, although they are all wearing ordinary cloth clothes, but the powerful momentum still impresses the people on the street and attracts the attention of countless people.

Li Yanqing and the others turned over and dismounted in front of the tavern, and the tavern shopkeeper and two guys greeted them, and the shopkeeper smiled and said, "What do you want to eat?" ”

Bianjing people generally go to the teahouse at noon instead of the tavern, and pay attention to not eating at noon, but the army has an additional meal at noon during the war to replenish physical strength, so everyone is used to eating at noon.

Li Yanqing smiled and asked, "Is there anything to eat?" ”

"There are basically all kinds of food, and it's okay to heat it up."

"Do you have cold wine?" Yang Guang asked expectantly.

The shopkeeper had a look of embarrassment on his face, "We have good Jingzhao wine, but we don't have ice, and it's hard to buy ice now, but you can chill it with well water." ”

"Then chill it with well water."

Li Yanqing threw a silver ingot to the shopkeeper and said, "Let's have six bottles of wine first, and the other dishes are just big fish and meat, as soon as possible." ”

The shopkeeper pinched the heavy silver, and said with a smile on his face: "Six of you, please go up to the second floor and sit by the window, and the horse will be tied to the door, everyone can see it!" ”

Everyone handed over the horses to the guys and walked upstairs together, because it was noon, there were not many guests, there were basically no guests on the first floor, and there were more than a dozen tables on the second floor, only two tables were sitting, Li Yanqing just walked upstairs, and someone was surprised: "Ah! It's the young proprietor. ”

I saw that several guests in front of a table stood up, Li Yanqing recognized one of them, it turned out to be Hong Dazhi, who he hadn't seen for a long time, and the other few people were also Baoyanzhai's account office, but everyone knew Mo Jun and stepped forward to salute.

Li Yanqing asked Hong Dazhi with a smile, "How do you eat at noon?" ”

Hong Dazhi scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "These two days coincided with the beginning of the month, and everyone didn't sleep all night last night, and they didn't eat much in the morning, so the proprietor asked me to bring everyone here for lunch." ”

"Thank you for your hard work, please continue to eat and don't disturb everyone!"

Li Yanqing and his entourage sat at two tables, Yang Guang and the four sat at one table, Li Yanqing and Mo Jun sat at a small table opposite each other, only for a moment, several bartenders brought up the big fish and meat like flowing water, Li Yanqing instructed the guys to send two plates of good dishes to the bookkeepers, and the bookkeepers hurriedly got up and thanked them.

At this time, a guy brought three bottles of wine and said with a smile: "Masters, there are just three bottles of wine that are iced with well water, you drink them first, and the remaining three bottles will be sent with ice and ice." ”

Yang Guang and the three pro-soldiers were already so hungry that their chests were pressed against their backs, and they were not polite, throwing off their cheeks and eating and drinking.

Mo Jun filled Li Yanqing with a glass of wine, and said with a slight smile: "I suddenly thought of one thing, how could Tong Guan be polite to the officials?" Maybe it has something to do with the more than 50 earth-shattering thunderbolts we made, which have been placed in the warehouse of Yuncheng County, and all of them have been obtained by Tong Guan. ”

"Perhaps!"

Li Yanqing took a sip of the cold and thorough wine, savored its mellow taste, it can only be said that it is very reluctant, it is still far worse than the Gaochang wine of Alum Tower, he smiled and said: "If Tong Guan expects the earth-shaking thunder to solve the problem of Liangshan, he can only be disappointed, even if Liangshan is burned down, Song Jiang can still be transferred to Liangshan Bozhong, eight hundred miles of water to Liangshan, the imperial court can't destroy Song Jiang at all." ”

"Does the official mean that in the end, he can only recruit An?"

Li Yanqing nodded, "If Fang La's rebellion is getting stronger and stronger, then Liangshan can only recruit An, after all, the two sides have been in contact before." ”

"I'm afraid that Song Jiang's conditions for opening this time will be expensive!"

Li Yanqing sneered, "What's the use of high conditions, as long as there is no army in his hands, even if Song Jiang is crowned a national duke, he will still be a fish on the board." ”

Li Yanqing pointed to a sweet and sour carp on the table with his chopsticks and said, "It's the same as it, let others slaughter it!" ”

At this time, Hong Dazhi and the others had already finished eating, and they all got up to say goodbye and left first, Hong Dazhi asked Li Yanqing in a low voice, "Do you want me to go and tell the proprietor?" ”

"Is my father here?"

"In the past few days, he has almost been there."

Li Yanqing nodded, got up and said to Mo Jun and a few pro-soldiers: "You eat slowly, I'll come back when I go." ”

Li Yanqing followed Hong Dazhi downstairs and walked out of the tavern, Li Yanqing asked with a smile: "Is Dazhi still studying in Taixue?" ”

Hong Dazhi shook his head, with a bitter smile on his face, "I have participated in Taixue's internal examinations five times in a row, and the rankings are all outside the five hundred, generally only the top ten Taixue students each time have hope of being admitted to the imperial examination, I am not talented enough, there is definitely no hope, now I only go to listen to the lectures of the court officials, and other courses are no longer available." ”

"Then let's take the test too much! If you are admitted to Taixue and become a first-class student, you will also have the opportunity to become an official. ”

"I'm afraid the young proprietor doesn't know! Taixue has already begun to lay off people, Wang Xiangguo has abolished Biyong outside the city, thousands of preparatory students have all been disqualified, the number of the entire Taixue will be reduced from 3,400 to 1,800, and the Jingzhao Fuxue, Taiyuan Fuxue, Yingtianfu Xue, and Daimyo Fuxue will be reduced by half of the students. ”

"Why?"

"I guess the imperial court can't afford it, the last time Wang Xiangguo gave a lecture, he hinted that the imperial court lost too much in the Western Xia War last year, and the Fangla rebellion swept through the south of the Yangtze River, and the taxes were sharply reduced, what the imperial court meant was that where it could reduce expenditure, it had to be cut."

Li Yanqing knew in his heart that it was not as simple as not having enough financial resources to target Taixue, but Wang Hao's attack on Cai Jing's political achievements was the real purpose.

He smiled, "So Brother Hong decided to stay in Baoyanzhai with peace of mind?" ”

"The proprietor treats me well, not only gives me a generous salary of fifty yuan a month, but also reuses me and appoints my deputy head of the accounting office, how can I not do my best to repay this kind of kindness."

As he was talking, he saw Li Daqi running out of the yard, waiting for his son's return excitedly.
