Chapter Twenty-Six: The Second Task, Water Margin Wu Dalang 8
At the end of the third year of Zhenghe, after the yamen fell to the yamen, Lu Renbing took Pan Jinlian and Wu Ying'er, who were two months pregnant, back to Qinghe County to worship their ancestors. When Wu Dalang left, there was no one in the Wu clan who reached out to help, so Wu Dalang had no intention of giving back to the township. Therefore, Lu Renbing only sent someone to buy back his ancestral home and land earlier, and repaired the tomb of Wu Dalang's parents.
After spending the New Year in his hometown, he returned to Yanggu County to deal with the Wu clan people who came to inquire about the news.
In the fourth year of Zhenghe, Lu Zhishen was going to Daxiangguo Temple, Lin Chong was going to be distributed, and the Water Margin drama was slowly opened. These have nothing to do with Takeshishi.
In addition to continuing to expand his business and fleet, and speeding up the construction of the Ryukyu base, Lu Renbing opened the door to Bianliang. Because he has become a powerful figure in the county, it is not too easy for Lu Renbing to get himself the qualification of a county academy, and it is not difficult to take the supernumerary examination to get a good evaluation.
Now the three-way method has become the plaything of dignitaries and nobles, and it is not simply talking. In just one year, Lu Renbing opened up the door at the state and county levels, and obtained a place for the supernumerary examination of a Tai student, which was prepared for officials with a doorway.
Yanggu Wu Zhixian has such a way, under Lu Renbing's heavy offensive, Wu Zhixian was moved by Wu Dalang's dedication to learning, recommended him, and helped Lu Renbing get a place in the early exam. and told Lu Renbing the way he should walk after arriving in Tokyo, and Lu Renbing was grateful.
In May, Lu Renbing took leave of absence and rushed to Tokyo. I took this year's exam in Taixue, because I have a solid foundation and a way. Therefore, Lu Renbing successfully got the first-class results, and then through Hua Zixu's uncle and Hua Lao's eunuch, he directly opened up the relationship between the officials and got the position of county leader in Yanggu County.
In August, Lu Renbing turned around and officially became the second-in-command of Yanggu County. Compared with the county officials who are often overturned in other places, Lu Renbing's county officials undoubtedly hold real power. He is the head snake of the land, and most of the officials are bought by him, and the rest of the scribes are also in the blows again and again, and they obey Lu Renbing's methods. Now Lu Renbing has officially passed the exam, obtained an official body, and has a background. These officials did not dare to make mistakes.
When Wu Zhi County, whose term expires next year, is sent away, it is not uncommon for Lu Renbing to become a county magistrate in operation. In the Northern Song Dynasty, officials were weak and strong, and county officials were busy with affairs, and they could easily become the targets of the imperial court's accountability. Therefore, most of the jinshi who came from the imperial examination were unwilling to be county magistrates.
Lu Renbing is not afraid of these, and after a while, Liangshan will rise up, attacking cities and pulling out villages everywhere, plus Wang Qing in Huaixi, Tianhu in Hebei, and La in Jiangnan will revolt, and a large number of official positions will be vacated. Lu Renbing can open the way with money, win a few battles, and it is not a problem to be promoted to a senior official.
Lu Renbing felt that it was better for a tasker with his ability and status to hide in the public door and cultivate his behavior. I don't have the courage to change the world, so I have my back to the big tree to enjoy the shade.
Yanggu County has no special output, so it has not been plundered by the Liangshan bandits, but it is inevitable that the imperial army will cross the border and raise some grain and grass.
To be honest, Lu Renbing still likes to be in the system, no matter what era, it is better to be a member of the ruler than to be a common man.
Without the imperial examination, it is easier to cheat in the chaotic period, provided that you are part of the bureaucracy. Ordinary people, carrying pigs' heads, can't find the temple gate.
In two years, Lu Renbing has changed from a three-inch Ding who sells cooking cakes to a martial arts official. What was even more surprising was Pan Jinlian, who didn't expect that she would really become a genuine official wife.
She attaches more importance to the baby in her belly, hoping to give birth to a male baby for Wu Dalang, so that her status is irreplaceable.
In July, when Lin Chong was still passing by Chai Jin Zhuangzi, Pan Jinlian gave birth to a boy, and Lu Renbing was a guest at the banquet. Because Wu Dalang and Wu Song are from the Muzi generation, and their descendants are from the Shuizi generation, Lu Renbing named his child Wu Ze.
Speaking of Wu Song, this guy is still missing. Lu Renbing sent someone to Chai Jinzhuang to inquire and found that Wu Song had not yet gone.
Wu Song fought with others earlier and went to the rivers and lakes to learn art. No letter was sent home. When the Water Margin started, he took refuge in Chai Jinzhuang for a year and a half, saying that he had knocked out a secret in Qinghe County, so he fled.
In other words, Wu Song will return to Qinghe County in the near future. Therefore, Lu Renbing had already sent someone to wait for him in Qinghe County, and once he waited for Wu Song, he sent someone to call him over. save him from being in the rivers and lakes again, and be looked down upon.
However, this Wu Song is a violent temper, maybe he will come to Yanggu County and kill others. When he came, Lu Renbing married him a daughter-in-law, and then sent him to Ryukyu to keep his foundation.
Sure enough, in October, an eight-foot-tall man came up on the streets of Qinghe County. Ask around about Wu Dalang, who used to sell cooking cakes here. Because Wu Dalang hasn't appeared for a long time, everyone doesn't know. When Wu Song was worried, Lu Renbing arranged to be on this street, waiting for Wu Song's people to appear in time. Ask him if he is Wu Song, Wu Erlang?
Wu Song nodded yes, so this person said that he was Wu County Cheng who came to wait for him, and asked him to follow him to Yanggu County to find his eldest brother.
Wu Song was a little confused, what Wu Xiancheng, I haven't seen him for a few years, his eldest brother who is short in stature and can only sell cooking cakes, when did he become a county Cheng and became an official.
Wu Songyi was bold and was not afraid of someone to deceive him, so he decided to follow him to Yanggu County to see the situation.
Wu Song followed the people and walked for half a month before coming to Yanggu County, Jingyanggang. It was getting late, and the man who was walking with Wu Song wanted to stay in the hotel, because there was a big insect on Jingyanggang recently, which haunted at night, and it was very much a few people who walked at night.
The county also issued a notice asking hunters to hunt and kill the big insect within a time limit, but the big insect was fierce, and no one killed the tiger except for a long time.
Wu Song didn't want to do it, so he agreed to rest first and then go on the road tomorrow. It's just that the hotel's three bowls of Yugang have aroused their curiosity to drink this spirit.
After working for eighteen bowls, regardless of the work and the persuasion of the fellow men, he insisted on singleing out the big worm. The man who came to pick him up had no choice but to follow Wu Song from afar.
When he walked up to Jingyanggang, Wu Song fell asleep on a big rock. When the man was about to go up and carry back to Wu Song, the big man-eating insect pounced out from the shadows. This big man ran off Jingyanggang with his legs. Wu Song woke up, fought the tiger with the strength of wine, and then killed the big worm with his bare hands.
When the man pulled a few nearby hunters from the bottom of the mountain to give them to Wu Song, he saw Wu Song sleeping on the tiger carcass.
The world worships heroes, not to mention the hero who killed a tiger with his bare hands, and all the hunters respected this Wu Song as a celestial.
Everyone carried the tiger and Wu Song, went to the county government to receive the reward, blowing and beating along the way, and when Lu Renbing got the news, Wu Song had already seen the Wu County Order, and won the title of Qianguan reward and infantry head.
The head of this infantry is a low-level officer, in charge of thirty or fifty soldiers, and there is no need to be promoted, and the county order can recommend and appoint. Wu Xianling admired Wu Song, and learned that Wu Song was the younger brother of Wu Dalang, who was very deferential, so he gave the reward without hesitation.
Then Wu Song continued to start a cross-horse parade through the streets to show off his feat of fighting tigers. This day should be the brightest moment of Wu Song's life.
The name of fighting tiger Wu Song resounded all over the rivers and lakes. In the original work, Wu Song, a sick son who took refuge in Chai Jinzhuang, did not have a reputation in the rivers and lakes and was not taken seriously. It wasn't until he completed the feat of fighting the tiger that he became famous, and others looked up to him everywhere.
This is the way of the world, everyone in the mixed rivers and lakes wants to get a name. Fame and fortune, fame and fortune are beneficial!
When Wu Song finished his tour of the streets, Wu Song shared the bounty with all the hunters and the people who helped, and everyone was happy. Wu Dalang had already set up a banquet in the mansion, and invited the head of Yanggu County to celebrate Wu Song's achievements together. Wu Zhixian is in the dominant position, followed by Lu Renbing.
Wu Song felt that the short and stout man on the table was very unfamiliar with the eldest brother in his impression. Wait until the banquet is gone.
Wu Songcai officially entered the inner room and officially met Lu Renbing, Pan Jinlian, and two children. Wu Song saw so many people at once, and some people called him uncle, second uncle, and the eldest nephew in swaddling clothes, and he was at a loss for a while.
