Chapter Seventy-One: The Situation Will Change
Therefore, although Ying Chunzhi couldn't give an affirmative answer right away, he still wanted to keep Ji Xian's line for later use. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Meng Abssi can convey this to Ji Xian, so that he can calm down a little, and it will be of great use in the future." Ying Chunzhi pondered for a while, but felt unsure, and continued: "Ji Xian has been in the battle formation, he must have some experience, and the militia is being formed in various parts of Chuzhou, if he is appointed as a militia coach, I don't know if he is willing?" ”
"He must be grateful for the public's promotion." Meng Jiucheng complimented and said: "The temperament of the leaders of the rebel armies in the north must be known whether they are loyal or not. Leave him down, so that he can inquire more and understand, lest he not attract anti-gold assistance in the future, but rob and rob thieves. ”
"This official is also worried." Ying Chunzhi laughed, looked up to Meng Jiucheng a few more points, paused, he remembered an idea, and said: "That Ji Xian must have a good impression of Meng Jisi, why don't you let him be by your side and give him an errand casually." Bao should be close, and it is also very convenient for the official to summon him. ”
Meng Jiucheng thought for a while, and said with some embarrassment: "You can give it a try, if he thinks that the lowly official is small, or has other plans, the minister should not blame the lowly position for keeping him." ”
"Haha, this official will never blame." Ying Chunzhi smiled heartily and said, "If you talk about being a lowly official, you are still young, so you don't have to be anxious. Jia Zhi County attaches great importance to you, and when the city is built and the county is stable, it will promote you as an official. The official sees that Meng Abbot is talented, and he should be exceeded. ”
Although the Song Dynasty had a provision that officials should be appointed as officials, the number of people who could really serve was very small, and most of them needed to serve as officials in the government for more than ten years. The vast majority of officials can only work as "servants" in the government, holding meager salaries, and they are also restrained and oppressed by officials everywhere.
Even those who serve as officials can generally only be awarded the complicated assignments of county lieutenants, county chief bookkeepers, and supervisors, and the highest official rank can only reach the eighth rank.
From this point of view, Meng Jiucheng's change from an official to an official can be said to be Jia She's extraordinary grace, and he has only been doing it for a few months! And Ying Chunzhi also agreed at this time, and that was basically a sure thing.
Although Meng Jiucheng was not here, and he didn't want to work in the officialdom through normal channels at all, he still pretended to be grateful and excited, and thanked Ying Chunzhi again and again.
Next, Ying Chunzhi asked a few more questions about scribing and bagging, and he was obviously very optimistic about this method of improving work efficiency. Then, Ying Chunzhi asked Meng Jiucheng to stay in the state city for a few more days, and asked him to make a demonstration in the project of digging Guanjia Lake to test the practicability of the work method.
At the end of the summoning conversation, Meng Jiucheng resigned from the state capital and went straight back to the inn with Liang Ertie.
When I arrived at the inn, I saw Ji Xian and Ji De as soon as I entered. The two were sitting downstairs in the hall drinking tea and chatting, and when they saw Meng Jiucheng, they hurriedly got up and gave their hands to salute.
"You two are so anxious!" Meng Jiucheng was also polite, and when he saw that there were no other guests in the hall, he sat down casually, and did not invite them to talk upstairs in the room.
"Being anxious is only one side, after talking with Meng Guanren yesterday, I only feel that it is too late to see each other, and I have not yet finished fun." Ji Xian's attitude seemed very sincere, and said: "I wanted to bother again today." I didn't want to have a vacant room in this inn, so I simply moved to a place, and it was convenient to talk. ”
"That's very good." Meng Jiucheng didn't take this seriously, people are close to you, and they can afford you, which feels good.
"Meng Guanren is full of spring, presumably he should be called by the prime minister, right?" Ji De said with a smile.
Spring? Well, although there is some ambiguity, it is better than your little black face.
Meng Jiucheng snorted and briefly said the right thing, of course, it was only related to Ji Xian.
Ji Xian frowned and pondered, but Ji De sneered and said, "Don't be impatient?" Will it be useful in the future? But what about the Year of the Monkey? ”
"Half a year at most." Meng Jiucheng felt that he should give full play to his foresight and give others some confidence. Otherwise, as Jide said, the wait is indefinite and frustrating.
Ji Xian's spirits perked up, but he was still a little puzzled, and asked, "How do you say this?" ”
Meng Jiucheng smiled faintly, deliberately lowered his voice, and said: "Ying Xianggong whispered to a certain person, and now the court is arguing about Song Jin and Zhan. Seeing the decline of the Jin country, even if he didn't dare to go to war, the Peerless Coin could already be determined. The Jin Dynasty is short of money, and there are no coins, how can it rest? The imperial court is worried about this, and it will actively prepare for war, and it should be the prime minister to recruit the righteous army, thinking that it is logical to resist the power of gold. ”
Ji Xian nodded vigorously, of course he didn't know about this kind of high-level news. Now listening to Meng Jiucheng's analysis, his heart immediately opened up.
"Meng Guanren is really a talented person, not only did he know that the county valued him, but he also had to meet him for the first time." Ji Xian couldn't help but be impressed, he was able to whisper and chat privately, if he wanted to say that Ying Chunzhi didn't like Meng Jiucheng, it would be too much.
"There are a little ghosts and cleverness, but they dare not be called talents." Meng Jiucheng was humble on the surface, but he acquiesced to Ji Xian's guess, anyway, it was about the same.
Ji De looked at Meng Jiucheng with interest, and his perception in his heart changed again, but he also agreed with Ji Xian's judgment, this guy is really not simple.
Ji Xian asked about other things, and Meng Jiucheng invited him to the militia group temporarily, and waited for Chunzhi's summons to be assigned nearby. Ji Xian fell into deep thought and did not make a decision immediately.
Meng Jiucheng was not in a hurry, he was attracted by the noise outside the inn, so he looked out through the window.
In a vacant lot next to the street, a grown man and a girl in plain clothes are performing tricks. The girl was seventeen or eighteen years old, and her face was beautiful, but her face was the color of wind and dust, and she seemed to have been wandering for a long time.
Regarding the woman's appearance, Meng Jiucheng just looked at it a little and flashed his eyes, but he was more interested in the spear that the girl used.
Because he is also a gun practitioner, he is somewhat obsessed, or he is happy to see hunting, and he naturally pays attention to other people's marksmanship. It's just that Meng Jiucheng practiced hard guns, and this girl made tough spears, that is, wax wood rods and iron spear heads.
In the final analysis, Meng Jiucheng's time to learn guns is still short. Although he has great strength, hard work, and cheating mind image playback, he has made great progress in martial arts, but his eyesight is still not good, and he can't see the level of marksmanship.
Ji De looked at Meng Jiucheng for a long time, and looked very interested, and couldn't help asking, "What does Meng Guanren think of this woman's marksmanship?" ”
Meng Jiucheng touched his chin and looked at it for a while, and said, "For laymen, it is naturally fancy." If you are fighting in battle, it is better to have a hard gun, and it is better to have simple and refined movements. ”
