After eating, it was already Shen Shi, and it was a little late to rush to the palace to report to the palace commander at this time. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

When leaving Fengle Building, Wu Shaogang had already made a decision, first go back to the mansion to have a look, wash and rest well, nourish his spirits, and go to the palace to report to the palace early tomorrow morning, as for Zhang Binghui and others, they will stay in the inn.

Before the crossing, Wu Shaogang had been to Hangzhou many times and was basically familiar with the terrain of Hangzhou. However, after following Li Siqi into Lin'an Mansion City, he found that it was a principled mistake to locate the current Lin'an Mansion City with the image of a thousand years later.

Needless to say, the prosperity of the capital is needless to say, although the area of Lin'an Mansion suffered a major famine last year, but the style of extravagant pleasure seems to have become a symbol of the Southern Song Dynasty court, row upon row of shops, bustling crowds, juggling with different characteristics, and hawkers shouting loudly, constitute a prosperous and lively picture.

This reminded Wu Shaogang of the painting scroll of "Qingming Riverside Picture", although this painting shows the lively situation of Bianjing, the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, but this kind of grace, luxury, pleasure and luxurious atmosphere, Lin'an Mansion City is unreservedly inherited.

Here, you can't feel the threat of the Mongolian Tartars, you can't feel the sadness and helplessness of the broken mountains and rivers, you can't feel the impending catastrophe, and the people who indulge in it, there is wine today and drunk today, all of which are endless pleasures.

Such an atmosphere and atmosphere left a very bad impression on Wu Shaogang, he finally understood why the Southern Song Dynasty court would be in a corner of peace, why the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty would rather cede land and seek peace, and few people thought of recovering the rivers and mountains, and why the main battle faction in the court would be ruthlessly squeezed out.

If you are completely immersed in this wind, the demise of the Southern Song Dynasty is an ironclad and unchangeable thing.

Wu Shaogang's mansion is in Xingqingfang, which is close to Xiawazi.

The so-called tile is the entertainment place in the metropolis, including theaters, brothels, casinos, wine shops, inns, etc., these places are connected together, and individuals enter them, shuttle through various places for entertainment, and may not know whether it is dawn or dark.

There are big tiles, middle tiles and lower tiles in the city of Lin'an Fu, distributed from south to north, the middle tiles are in the area of Taipingfang, which belongs to the largest and most lively place, and the big tiles are in the area of Jishanfang, and the scale is not small.

The price of houses in the capital is not low, after the disaster last year, the price of goods has further increased, an area of less than one acre, ordinary small courtyard, the price is about 300 taels of gold, ordinary people do not dare to ask at all.

Think about the manor built by Wu Shaogang in his hometown, the area is more than ten times that of today's house, and the decoration is extremely luxurious, but it is only this price.

The reason for the rapid rise in prices was, on the one hand, because of last year's famine, and more importantly, because of the years of war, which led to large-scale taxation by the imperial court and local governments, which ordinary people could not bear.

Of course, a mere three hundred taels of gold is nothing in the eyes of a high-ranking official like Lu Wende, you must know that in the process of Lu Wende serving as the deputy envoy of Sichuan Chengxuan and commanding the battle against the Mongol Tatars, I don't know how much money he obtained, and later in the battle to recover Huangzhou, Qizhou and Jiangling Fucheng, the harvest was also huge.

After Zhang Binghui and the others helped move all the things into the courtyard, they said goodbye, there were inns everywhere outside, they just found a place to rest, it was not a very troublesome thing, and they also needed to take a good rest.

Li Siqi did not leave immediately, but accompanied Wu Shaogang and walked around the small courtyard.

As for the young lady, she has already returned to the house to clean up.

"Vice General Wu, the place is a little small, but this is the capital...

"Mr. Li, don't say that, I still have to pay for the cost of buying the mansion myself."

"Vice General Wu, if you are like this, then you are out of sight, and don't mention it again."

Wu Shaogang smiled bitterly and stopped talking about the mansion.

The mansion is divided into two entrances, a small courtyard in front, there is a patio behind the hall and the reception room, and the two sides and the back of the patio are resting houses, including study and kitchen, etc., the whole courtyard has a total of six separate houses, there is no back garden, the capital is a place where every inch of land is valuable, unless it is a prince or noble, or a high-ranking official in the court, the rest of the people should not think of having a vast area and luxurious and luxurious mansion.

The study was already very clean, and after Wu Shaogang and Li Siqi went in, Qingniang quickly brought the brewed Longjing tea.

Li Siqi looked at Qing Niang, with an ambiguous smile on his face, in the future, in this courtyard, Wu Shaogang and Qing Niang, lonely men and widows together, what will happen, there is no need to say.

After the young lady left the study, Li Siqi smiled and spoke.

"Vice General Wu, although the mansion is a little small, the family and maids still need some, if you have any ideas, just put them forward, as long as I can help, I will do my best."

Li Siqi is very normal to care, but Wu Shaogang shook his head slightly.

Inertia is easy to come by, as long as you are content with pleasure, inertia will haunt you all the time and make you powerless.

Wu Shaogang didn't want to fall into the gentle township, so that he couldn't think about it, and in his mind, Lin'an Mansion City was not a place to stay for a long time, no matter what dynasty, the capital was always the most complicated place, it was an out-and-out big dye vat, and the people in it, whether they were miserly or heroic, were difficult to die well.

"Mr. Li, you also know, I am a soldier, it is very good to have a young lady to serve by my side, and besides, I am alone, and there are not so many things, if there are too many people in the family, it will add trouble."

"That's right, I often think like this, alone, everything is easy to handle, no worries, and even freedom."

Wu Shaogang looked at Li Siqi, couldn't help but didn't ask, in terms of age, he Wu Shaogang was only sixteen years old, and it was normal to be alone, but Li Siqi was already nearly middle-aged, so it was difficult to be alone.

This should be a personal privacy, or a personal sadness, or it is better not to ask.

Li Siqi also quickly changed the topic and talked about the most important matters.

"Vice General Wu, tomorrow you will go to the palace to report to the palace commander, and go to the military camp to take up your post, I don't know if you are familiar with the situation of this palace front division and the front army."

This is a knowingly question, of course Wu Shaogang can't be familiar with it, so he answered very directly and simply.

"Please also ask Mr. Li for some advice."

"The front division of the palace is the most elite army of our dynasty, and now it is directly controlled by the right minister and the privy envoy Master Jia, and the front secretary of the palace is commanding the envoy Lord Ma Huaxuan, and he is also a capable person of the Chinese martial arts of the dynasty, they all cherish talents, and Vice General Wu enters the front division of the palace, although he is only a deputy general, I am afraid that it will also attract a lot of attention."

When Li Siqi said these words, his expression became serious.

Wu Shaogang's attention was also highly concentrated.

The position of deputy general in the army, which is to assist the general in managing the affairs of the army, belongs to the real deputy, there is a good saying, rather than a chicken head, not a phoenix tail, which indicates that the identity of the deputy general and the preparation of the general is very delicate, if you can handle the relationship with the commander and even the general, it is easy to be promoted, if you can't handle the relationship, you are a person with a red strip, there is no real power, and there are no soldiers under him.

Wu Shaogang was only sixteen years old, because of the age limit, he entered the Urging Army, and it was impossible for him to grasp much power in a short period of time, at best, he was assisting the general to do something.

This is too far from Wu Shaogang's own ambitions.

Moreover, the officers and sergeants of the front division of the palace are relatively fixed, and they will not easily go to other armies, in other words, they have little mobility.

"Vice General Wu is young, he has already made great contributions, he is a rare talent, I still say that, presumably Vice General Wu enters the front division of the palace, and it will not take long for him to get the attention of Jia Xiang and Ma Du."

When he said this, Li Siqi casually looked at Wu Shaogang.

Wu Shaogang, who has unusual experience, quickly understood the meaning.

"Mr. Li, Jia Xiang is on top, Ma Du commands the army of the front division of the palace, and his identity is prominent, where can I, the deputy general, be able to climb, as for the merits on the battlefield, it is all in the past, don't say it."

"Vice General Wu, I think you don't want to be so discouraged, once your talent is revealed, you will definitely get attention, the officers at all levels of the front division of this palace, Jia Xiang and Ma Du are all highly concerned, as long as you can get their appreciation, there is no problem with promotion."

Li Siqi said these words, which made Wu Shaogang a little confused.

Li Siqi's meaning is very clear, since he has entered the front division of the palace, if he can't get the trust of Jia Yidao and Ma Huaxuan, don't think about promotion, this is normal, he can't become Shangfeng's henchman, and it is impossible to be reused.

However, if Wu Shaogang is completely biased towards Jia Nidao and others, it will be unfavorable to Lu Wende.

Between the calcium carbide firelight, Wu Shaogang suddenly figured out the reason.

Although Lu Wende is a straight bachelor from the Longtu Pavilion of the third grade, and the left servant of the Ministry of Officials, but in front of Jia Nidao, it is nothing, no matter which aspect he considers, Lu Wende does not dare to offend, and even wants to slap Jia Nidao, as Wu Shaogang, who is appreciated by Lu Wende, if he can get the favor of Jia Nidao and rise to the top, this is completely beneficial to Lu Wende.

Wu Shaogang was a little depressed, he didn't understand such a simple truth quickly.

"What Mr. Li means, I understand, my attitude is still like that, do my best to see the will of God."

After Li Siqi said goodbye, Wu Shaogang walked alone in the front yard.

An ironclad fact is placed in front of him, after coming to the capital, he will definitely be involved in the turmoil of the power game, it is unavoidable, if you want to be an ostrich, you will be ruthlessly eliminated, if you want to get ahead, you must grasp it well, otherwise the gun will shoot the first bird, and the ending may be worse death.
