Chapter 782 Promotion

When Qiu Yi spoke, his expression was calm, dark and calm, and it could be seen that he did not covet the intention of the secretary of the Lingwu Academy. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Seeing Shangguan Xiu frowning, he said again: "If Senior Brother Shangguan is really unwilling to give up his position as secretary of the academy, he should at least find a capable helper for himself and stay in the academy to assist." ”

Shangguan Xiu said: "It's not easy to find a helper with outstanding ability. ”

"The old man has a suitable candidate, I don't know if the old brother Shangguan can trust the old man. ”

"Oh, Lord Qiu, tell me who it is!"

"Mr. Qiu Tong!" Qiu Yi said with a smile: "Qiu Tong is now in the Imperial Academy, holding the position of deliberator, it is not that he is incapable, but because he has no talent and has been suppressed by his superiors, so he has been depressed in the Imperial Academy. ”

The so-called deliberators are civil servants who are a little more senior than the secretary at the bottom, and in the Imperial Academy, the status of deliberative is not as good as that of a teacher.

Shangguan Xiu smiled and asked, "Who is this Mr. Qiu Tong......?"

"It's not a secret, Qiu Tong is the old man's son and nephew, as the so-called virtuous do not avoid relatives, if Qiu Tong is just an empty belly of straw bales, the old man will never recommend him to Shangguan brother, if Shangguan brother is free one day, you can see him. If you can use it, you can use it, and if you can't use it, forget it. ”

Qiu Yi was born in the main family of the Qiu family, and Qiu Tong was born in the side branch of the Qiu family, although the two of them are clan relatives, their relationship is not close, otherwise, Qiu Tong would not only be able to do deliberations in the Imperial Academy.

The reason why Qiu Yi recommended Qiu Tong to Shangguan Xiu this time was mainly to test the waters with him, if Shangguan Xiu really had the intention of being close to him and befriending him, then he would definitely reuse the Qiu Tong he recommended.

Shangguan Xiu pondered for a moment, nodded and agreed: "Since it is recommended by Lord Qiu, I think there must be something outstanding, so let's do it, tomorrow afternoon, Lord Qiu can ask Mr. Qiu Tong to come to the Zhenguo Mansion to find me." ”

"Okay, good! A word is a certainty!" Qiu Yi smiled when he heard this, picked up his wine glass, and clinked glasses with Shangguan Xiu.

Qiu Yi didn't say goodbye to Shangguanxiu until late at night and went home. The next day, in the afternoon, Qiu Tong came to the appointment.

Qiu Tong is not very old, not yet thirty, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, a face like a crown of jade, a scarf and a feather fan, a crane in his body, a graceful demeanor, and extraordinary instruments.

When Shangguan Xiu saw Qiu Tong for the first time, he secretly praised it in his heart: Not bad! Qiu Tong's first impression on him was excellent.

"Late-born Qiu Tong, see Lord Shangguan!" As he spoke, Qiu Tong arched his hand and bowed to the ground.

Shangguan Xiu waved his hand with a smile and said, "Mr. Qiu Tong doesn't have to be polite, please take a seat!"

"Master Xie!" Qiu Tong straightened up, slowly walked to the seat on the side, gently lifted his clothes, and knelt down.

He was not dressed in a flashy manner, just a very ordinary cloth coat, but from his demeanor, it can be seen that he had been trained in good manners for a long time.

The Qiu family is a big family, even if it is a side branch, it also has the eye-catching surname 'Qiu', and after the founding hero Qiu Zhen, the education in etiquette will never be bad.

"I heard that Mr. Qiu Tong works in the Imperial Academy. ”

"Yes, my lord, the villain is in charge of the Imperial Academy. ”

Qiu Tong replied very frankly and calmly, and he was not embarrassed to speak because of his low position, nor because of Shangguanxiu's high status, he behaved honestly and fearfully in front of him, and was too restrained.

His down-and-out generosity increased Shangguan Xiu's favor for him a few points. He raised his hand slightly and said, "Serve tea." ”

An Rong walked in from the outside and put the teacup on the small square table in front of Qiu Tong. Qiu Tong smiled at An Rong and bowed in greeting. In the Zhenguo Mansion, it was rare to meet such a polite person, and An Rong couldn't help but look at him a few more times.

But anyone who can enter the Zhenguo Mansion is either a general who was born in the army, all of them are five big and three coarse, full of majesty and murderous aura, or they are powerful people in the court, sons of families, with prominent status and great power, these people are impossible to be too polite to the little maid below, and they will not even take a second look.

After An Rong withdrew, Shangguan Xiu picked up the teacup and asked with a smile: "Lord Qiu recommended Mr. Qiu Tong to serve in the Lingwu Academy, I wonder if Mr. Qiu Tong himself has such a will?"

Qiu Tong's face was straight, and he said: "If the villain can serve under the command of the adult, it is the luck of the villain!"

"However, the Imperial Academy and the Lingwu Academy, one literature and one martial arts, are not the same, Mr. Qiu Tong has been working in the Imperial Academy before, how much do you know about the Lingwu Academy?" Shangguan Xiu glanced at him and took a sip of tea.

Qiu Tong said: "The Imperial Academy and the Lingwu Academy often have contacts, and the villain is also very familiar with the situation of the Lingwu Academy. ”

Shangguan Xiu smiled, his tone was not small, and even he, the secretary of the academy, did not dare to say how familiar he was with the Lingwu Academy. His eyes were like torches, staring at Qiu Tong, his fingers casually on the table, and slowly tapping.

Da, da, da!

There was silence in the study, only the rhythmic beating remained. Under Shangguan Xiu's gaze, it is difficult for ordinary people to endure it, and the sense of oppression swept from all directions makes people unconsciously have the urge to flee from the door.

Even Qiu Tong, who had been well-trained since he was a child, unconsciously lowered his head and subconsciously avoided Shangguan Xiu's gaze.

I don't know how long it took, it seemed like a century, Shangguan Xiu finally retracted his gaze, and said in a flat tone: "Mr. Qiu Tong can taste the new tea in my house, which is produced in Besa, commonly known as flower tea." ”

As he spoke, Qiu Tong obviously felt the pressure on his body suddenly decrease, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, leaned over and said, "Lord Xie!" As he spoke, he picked up the teacup and took a sip, feeling that the taste was strange, with a floral fragrance, and the taste was very sweet.

Seeing this, Shangguan Xiu said with a smile: "When I drank it for the first time, I was also very uncomfortable, but then I slowly got used to drinking it, and I felt that it was delicious." ”

Qiu Tong put down the teacup in his hand and said: "This time my country and Bessa's national war, although it was won in the end, but it was a narrow victory, if there is no Your Majesty's royal conquest, if there is no adult's long drive, this national war, our country is really difficult to win." In the case of the same number of troops, except for the Zhenjun army under the account of the adults, our country's Zhongxiyang army has no advantage against the Besa army, but is controlled everywhere. ”

"Oh?" Hearing this, Shangguan Xiu subconsciously straightened up and asked, "Mr. Qiu Tong has such an analysis, so what does Mr. Qiu Tong think is the cause of this situation?"

"Our country is lagging behind. Qiu Tong said bluntly.

"Weapons are backward?" Shangguan Xiu raised his eyebrows. He didn't dare to say how advanced the weapons developed by the forge were, but at least compared to Beisa and Ningnan, he was by no means at a disadvantage.

"On the contrary, our country's weapons are not backward, and the reason why our country can win the national war is that the guns are sharp, which is also the key. Qiu Tong said: "What is backward in our country is the military concept of the soldiers. The military skills they learned were long-range archery, legion advancement, hand-to-hand combat, sharp soldiers taking the lead, and the number and strength of spiritual cultivators directly affected the victory or defeat of both sides. But now the battlefield is already the world of firearms, long-range artillery bombardment has replaced arrow shooting, and firearm shooting has replaced hand-to-hand combat, and the role of spiritual cultivators on the battlefield has become weaker and weaker. The Lingwu Military Academy is clearly supposed to give priority to military affairs, but everyone calls it the Lingwu Academy, and what the Lingwu Academy trains is not military talents, but Lingwu masters, who can rely on their own skills to kill ten, hundred, or even a thousand enemies, but they cannot influence the final outcome of a war. ”

Qiu Tong's words also startled Shangguan Xiu, he had never thought about it so deeply before.

The Imperial Shangjing Lingwu Military Academy is referred to as the Lingwu Academy, for hundreds of years, the Wind Country has been called so, and no one thinks there is anything wrong with it, so people have accepted it subtly, the Lingwu Academy should be Lingwu first, military second, and even dispensable, as long as the Lingwu is cultivated well.

Qiu Tong is right, as firearms become more and more popular and more advanced, the role of spiritual cultivators on the battlefield has indeed been greatly weakened, and it is impossible to rely on spiritual cultivators to change the outcome of a victory like the battlefield of cold weapons.

Shangguan Xiu was silent for a long time, then he raised his head, looked at Qiu Tong, and asked, "Then according to Mr. Qiu Tong, the Lingwu Academy needs to be reformed?"

Qiu Tong shook his head and said: "The concept of Lingwu Academy has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, unshakable, it will be difficult to change, if you want to cultivate real military talents, there are only two ways, either start from scratch and set up a special military academy, or, on the basis of Lingwu Academy, form a higher military academy." ”

The plan of starting from scratch and establishing a new military academy is too huge and involves too many aspects, and it is difficult to realize it in a short period of time, but on the basis of the Lingwu Academy, the establishment of a higher military academy is very feasible in Shangguan Xiu's opinion.

Seeing that he was deep in thought again, Qiu Tong said cautiously: "Villain...... What the villain said is just his own immature idea, and if there is a gaffe, I hope the adults will not be surprised. ”

Now he is also secretly regretting, I don't understand, why did he unconsciously say the ideas in his heart in front of Shangguan Xiu?

Whether it is to start from scratch or to set up a new school on the original basis, it is a very bold idea, once you disagree with Shangguan Xiu, or if you don't get his approval, you will miss this rare opportunity in vain.

Shangguan Xiu, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly asked, "Mr. Qiu Tong, what does Mr. Qiu Tong think should be called the new school?"

Qiu Tong was caught off guard by his question, and without thinking about it, he blurted out: "Junwutang!"

"Junwutang!good name!haha-" Shangguan Xiu laughed on his back.

His laughter shocked Qiu Tong for a moment. After a while, he put away his laughter, stood up, walked to Qiu Tong's crime, and arched his hand and said, "Mr. Qiu Tong is willing to serve as an envoy in the Lingwu Academy?"

The envoy of the academy, equivalent to the deputy secretary of the academy, is the second-in-command of the Lingwu Academy. Of course, there can only be one secretary of the court, and there can be more than one envoy.

From a small councilor, he became an envoy, skipping the three levels of counselor, bachelor, and young secretary in the middle, which can definitely be called an exceptional promotion.
