[The first update, ask for red tickets, collect. Starting today, the update time has been changed to zero, twelve, and nineteen. 】

Han Gang walked out of Liunequan, and Li Xiaoliu immediately greeted him. Although Han Gang's face couldn't see any difference from when he went in, and his pampered and unfazed bearing made it difficult for him to show intense mood swings, Li Xiaoliu knew that no difference was a good thing.

"Congratulations to the officer!" Li Xiaoliu grinned and stepped forward to congratulate Han Gang.

"We'll have to wait a few more days." Han Gang said calmly, "It's just that I just passed the election, and I have to get the confession." ”

Li Xiaoliu didn't know about the selection and resignation, but he would make a joke: "Between the Jinshi list and the Qionglin banquet, there was also a gap of half a month." But who can say that if you haven't participated in the Qionglin Banquet, you are not a Jinshi? ”

"You can talk about it!" Han Gang shook his head and chuckled.

Hearing the conversation between the master and servant, the eyes cast around him took on a little hostility, and they poked at them like knives and guns. Han Gang didn't think so, and was glared at fiercely by a group of idle officials who were guarding the que, but he was a little happy to step on people.

Taking Li Xiaoliu out of the whirlpool formed by jealousy, Han Gang calculated how many days he would have to stay in the capital as he walked.

After passing the election, after Liu Neiquan decided on Han Gang's official and dispatch, he had to submit it to the civil affairs hall, and when the government affairs hall was reviewed, he had to transfer it to the civil affairs court. The official court is the body that makes and issues the notice, and doubles as a review, and this step of the procedure does not take five or six days to come out. In this way, if Han Gang wants to get his own confession, that is, the certificate to prove his identity as an official - although it will not be a small book with a hard cover, but the actual meaning is the same - he will have to wait for at least ten days and half a month.

'It's fast enough to run back and forth between the capital and Qinzhou, and then take a few hundred miles. Han Gang secretly sighed for the efficiency of the bureaucracy, thinking that he had been out for twenty days, and he could run two round-trips to Qinzhou in a hurry of four hundred miles a day. And I can't leave home until early March at the earliest, and I don't know how many times I have run back and forth with official documents. Han Gang's brows furrowed slightly, and he didn't know if the plan he and Wang Shao had formulated would be able to be completed by the time.

returned to the post house, but saw that Liu Zhongwu had already returned early. Although he was calm, he didn't have the same qi cultivation kung fu as Han Gang, and the smile on his lips couldn't be hidden.

"Congratulations to Brother Ziwen." Han Gang said with a smile.

Liu Zhongwu watched it for a long time, but he didn't see if Han Gang's expression hid the result of the selection. He asked cautiously, "...... What about you, official? ”

Han Gang smiled and nodded. And Li Xiaoliu helped him answer. The high voice was proudly proud: "How can my family officials have any reason?!" ”

"That's right! That's right!! Liu Zhongwu smiled harshly, "Of course, it is easy to be an official. ”

Han Gang sat down and asked Liu Zhongwu, "I wonder if the Son of Heaven came to see Brother Ziwen shoot arrows today?" ”

"I also thought that the official family would come to take a look! Who would have thought that the Privy Council would undertake to preside over the examination. Although Liu Zhongwu was complaining, his words were full of joy, "But I didn't think about it so much, I just cared about shooting." I shot seventeen arrows with a two-stone lunge, but TOEFL hit them all. I changed horses again, and the horses still hit all ten arrows. Then I changed the crossbow, and I pulled the five-stone one first, and then the six-stone one, and it was easy. When Du Chengzhi saw that I had the strength to handle the ox, he asked someone to bring a hard crossbow of seven and a half stones. That strength is almost the same as the eight-ox crossbow on the city wall. I used the strength to eat milk before I pulled it away. ”

can pull away the hard crossbow of seven and a half stones, this strength makes Han Gang stunned. Although there have always been rumors in the army that someone can pull a crossbow and pass eight stones, no one has really seen it with their own eyes. And Liu Zhongwu's seven and a half stones are already appalling. Han Gang looked at Liu Zhongwu's lower three roads, this guy's waist and leg strength should be not small, and the beauty who sent him to Xiang Bao should have been tossed miserably.

“…… In the end, they all looked at me and gave me a different verdict, and the other dozen or so people were embarrassed to practice behind me. ”

Liu Zhongwu's words were extraordinary, and he was always steady and didn't know where to go. But it's no wonder that the test shooting grade he got was one level higher than the excellent grade, and it was impossible to get it without outstanding martial arts, and he might not be able to produce one in a few years. And the awarding of officials will often be one level higher than the normal third-class borrowing, and they will be directly appointed to the third-class service. If you don't think about the difference between martial arts, you really have to think about it, and the third class is higher than Han Gang's judge. Of course, the difference between civil and military actually exists, even if it is the highest two levels of small envoys such as the east worship officer and the west head worship officer from the eighth rank, it cannot be said that it is really better than the selection from the ninth rank.

Liu Zhongwu practiced in the palace this time with bows and crossbows. Test shooting the palace, as the name suggests, is to get the test of archery. The heaviest long-range weapon in the Great Song Dynasty army has always been thirty-six kinds of weapons, with bows and crossbows at the top, eighteen kinds of martial arts, and archery first. Han Gang only felt sorry for Wang Sunchen now, if his miraculous bead archery technique was unleashed in front of the palace, even Liu Zhongwu would have to retreat. Seeing a flower grow in the blink of an eye from the arrow stack thirty paces away, anyone would drop their jaws. It's a pity......

"Han Guanren, do you want to have a good drink today!" Liu Zhongwu used to avoid Han Gang, afraid of being dragged by him to drink, but later, although he accepted his fate and did not hide, he did not take the initiative, and today is the first time he pulled Han Gang to drink.

"Of course, it is best to be drunk with Brother Ziwen. It's just ......," Han Gang said regretfully, "I'll go to Mr. Zhang and Cheng's house to report the good news later." Let's do it, let's set up a table in the Fan Building tomorrow, and when I come to Tokyo, I have to see the spring color of the Fan Building. Otherwise, when we go back, we haven't even gone to Fan Lou, who would believe that we have really arrived in Tokyo. ”

Han Gang could speak, and Liu Zhongwu was rejected, but he was not upset, but laughed. nodded, "That's what I said, if you don't go to Fanlou, you'll be coming to Tokyo for nothing." ”

Han Gang went to Wang Anshi's mansion again in the afternoon. As soon as he arrived at the door, he saw a eunuch holding a long box and leading a few servants into the palace, but soon he was sent out by Wang Anshi's youngest son with the box and servants. Looking at his appearance, this edict failed after all.

Watching the envoy ride away, Han Gang guessed when Wang Anshi would return to the council. Thinking that it shouldn't take long, he looked at the streets and alleys in front of the palace, and there were more cars and horses parked here than a few days ago. With the alternation of decrees and dictionaries, the political situation in the court became clearer and clearer, and Wang Anshi's position became more and more stable, so the officials who had originally dispersed were now reunited in front of the Wang family's mansion. The road, which is two feet wide, has been blocked into a small road by the cars and horses of visiting officials.

Han Gang entered the gatehouse, which was already full of officials, and their intentions were the same as Han Gang's, waiting for Wang Anshi to come forward. These people also come here every day, and after a few days, they are all familiar with each other. Han Gang will make friends and is very popular among everyone. As soon as he entered, the officials in the audience greeted him one after another. When he sat down, they talked about the sea and the sky together. Basically, the officials in the concierge were the same as Han Gang, they all sat for an hour and half and then got up, which was the officials of the Fa-Reform faction to show their attitude. If you don't come, wait for the autumn to settle the account, then you have to blame your legs and feet for not being diligent.

Wang Anshi is still sick. Of course, Han Gang still couldn't wait for the meeting. After sitting at the concierge for more than an hour, and expressing a respectful attitude, Han Gang confessed and got up to leave. When he came out, the sun had set in the west, but the number of carriages and horses at the gate did not decrease, but increased.

Leaving Wang Anshi's Mansion, Han Gang went straight to the direction of Little Sweet Water Lane. From Wang Anshi's Mansion in the northwest of the city, it took more than half an hour to reach the door of Zhang Cheng's two families.

Seeing Han Gang, Zhang Jian and Cheng Hao didn't even ask about Quanxuan, and when Han Gang talked about it, they just nodded, taking it for granted, and didn't worry about Han Gang at all. It's no wonder, after all, the difficulty of the selection of the new official is too low, even if Han Gang was made bad by the two main examiners, he still passed smoothly without realizing it, which shows how simple the selection is on weekdays.

"Passing the election does not mean that you can be a good official, and you must remember to be worthy of heaven and earth in the future, and live up to the Son of Heaven and the people." Cheng Hao said earnestly.

Han Gang saluted respectfully: "Thank you gentlemen for your teachings. Han Gang will keep it in mind every day. ”

After some admonition, Zhang Jian asked Han Gang to sit down. Shen Sheng asked, "Yukun." I'd like to ask you something. ”

Han Gang hurriedly stood up: "Don't dare to ask for advice." What's the matter, just ask, sir. ”

"Sit, sit." Cheng Hao smiled and motioned for Han Gang to sit down again.

Wait for Han Gang to sit down.

"It's not a big deal...... Zhang Jian said in a casual tone, "I just want to ask Yukun about you about Guwei and Weiyuan Tuntian." ”

Han Gang nodded and said, "Mr. asked the right person, and the student happened to know about this matter." ”

"Tell me about ......"

Han Gang's heart was clear, it seemed that his plan with Wang Shao had spread in the court, but he didn't know what Yushitai thought about it. It's just that no matter what attitude Cheng Hao, Zhang Jian, and other imperial historians hold now, they have to make them become supporters of Hehuang Tuobian...... At least not the naysayers. Now it's up to you to see how you perform.

Han Gang's heart was like lightning, but the reply in his mouth did not stumble at all: "The upper reaches of Weishui in Tuntian are the first step of Wang Jiyi's plan to recover Hehuang. If you want to collect the river, you must subdue the local people. In order to deter them, it was necessary to send an army of officers to Guwei and Weiyuan, and if necessary, to eliminate one or two Tibetan troops that had been bought by the western thieves, so as to make an example of them. However, whether it is a garrison or a war, the consumption of materials and food will not be less, and if all rely on foreign transportation, whether it is the court or the Shaanxi Transshipment Division, they will not be able to support it. Therefore, Wang Jiyi thought about solving part of the grain and salary on his own in the local area, so he had a plan to settle fields on both sides of the middle and upper reaches of the Wei River. ”

Zhang Jian said: "Recently, Wang Shao has submitted his plan with a special fold. ”

Han Gang nodded: "When the student came out, he had already heard that Wang Jiyi was writing this chapter, and he also understood the general content. From Weiyuan to Fuqiang City, more than 200 miles of river valley, nearly 10,000 hectares of cultivated wasteland, and at least 1,000 hectares of fertile land can be opened up. If half of the thousands of hectares of fertile land were cultivated, it would be enough to support an army of 2,000 men, and it would only take them a year to reclaim such a small amount of land. ”

"Yes......" Zhang Jian replied in a casual voice, looked at Han Gang silently for a while, and suddenly his eyes turned into swords, and he asked sharply: "Then why did Dou Shunqing say that from Qinzhou to Weiyuan, the amount of wasteland that should be cultivated is only one hectare and forty-seven acres?!" ”
