The martial arts test will be unveiled in a month. The martial test is not the same as the literary test, the practice of the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the emperor directly asked during the Taizu Dynasty, and it was also very formal, and the later emperor was too lazy to care, so he handed it over to the Ministry of War to decide and report to the cabinet for the record. At this time, the power of the military department is very great, and the military selection department of the military department, which is in charge of martial arts, and many examiners in various categories, are all filled by first-class martial arts positions with deep qualifications and high military achievements, and they basically fall into the hands of the four nobles.

Led by Shang Chengjie, the newly promoted Shangshu of the Ministry of War a year ago, and also the chief examiner of this martial arts examination, according to the results reported by the Martial Arts Selection Division, he began to determine the ranking, and he was full of gunpowder from the beginning.

This time, a total of one hundred and five places were recorded, most of the top 64 in the top three were to be taken care of and should be in the middle according to the results, and the top 38 were also ranked in addition to the top 17. The most difficult thing to do is the top 20, according to the results Tang Tong ranked second, the first place was Lan Tingshu, and the third place was Hu Xiyu. In this way, the first class of the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion accounted for two, which broke the balance, especially the Song Guogong Geng Guangding took the lead in opposition, and he Song Guogong Mansion wanted to get a place.

Yunyang Hou Lanchou also has a whisper, because he has discovered the culprit behind the secret of the county lord of Sheyang, this person is Tang Tong, first injured his son, and then instigated his daughter to leak the news, causing his brother-in-law to be imprisoned, and the spearhead was pointed at Tang Tong. Seeing that Song Guogong Geng Guangding opened his mouth, it was a good time to make a move.

Shang Chengjie negotiated with Geng Guangding, the Duke of Song and Chen Dehuai, the Marquis of Qingyuan, to downgrade Tang Tong's ranking, Li Bin of the Song Guogong Mansion mentioned the second place, and the fourth place was the prestigious Qian Zong Ling Kangzhi of Jizhou Town, and Tang Tong could only be demoted to fifth.

Who knew that Lan Kui, the Marquis of Yunyang, still didn't understand his hatred, and immediately stood up, "Chen Dingxian should be mentioned to the fifth, the positions of the two are reversed, how can the clansmen of the Marquis of Qingyuan fall behind.", Lan Chou knows Chen Dehuai's temperament, what he values most is his own people, and he is not so concerned about the people, and he is the disciple of his nephew Chen Qinqiang, and he can't compete with himself. Moreover, in recent months, he has been under high pressure by Yu Wang Zhao Ludi, and Tang Tong must be taught a stern lesson.

Qingyuan Hou Chen Dehuai did not speak up, and he was also under pressure from the other three parties. Now as the left waiter of the military department, Hong Xingjing, the deputy chief examiner of the martial arts examination, couldn't help it, and stood up and strongly objected, "Tang Tong's strategy is the best written, his views are unique, and he has dropped from the list to fifth, which is already a grievance, and Chen Dingxian can barely enter twenty, I don't approve of it!".

Song Guogong Geng Guangding saw that Yunyang Hou was standing on his side, so he naturally spoke for Yunyang Hou, "Who said that Tang Tong's strategy is the best, and Lan Tingshu's is worse?", he didn't look down on Hong Xingjing at all, and his tone was very heavy.

Hong Xingjing did not show weakness, and slapped the table angrily, "I know the inside story, do you need to wear the words in this?".

Geng Guangding pointed at Hong Xingjing and slapped the table, and angrily asked, "Are you talking to me?".

Hong Xingjing did not retreat, and targeted without weakness, "Others have given enough face to the Song Guogong Mansion, but in exchange for such a result, it's chilling!", he shook his head as he spoke, full of contempt.

Bow final substitution, Tang Tong didn't wear himself, Geng Guangding was a little unreasonable, "I just refuted the quality of the strategy, and I didn't say anything about the ranking, Qingyuan Hou has the final say!", Geng Guangding's words focused everyone's attention on Chen Dehuai.

Shang Chengjie, the secretary of the military department, also wanted to do peace, "What does the Marquis of Qingyuan mean?".

Qingyuan Marquis Chen Dehuai cleared his throat and expressed his opinion, "He wants to return to Xuanfu anyway, and the ranking is not so important!".

Hong Xingjing didn't expect Chen Dehuai to say this, it seems that none of the four nobles are not selfish, their strength is too thin, so they can only sit down and keep shaking their heads.

After discussing other details, Shang Chengjie, the secretary of the military department, immediately made a decision, Lan Tingshu, the first champion, Li Bin, the top player, Hu Xiyu, the second class, Ling Kangzhi, the second class, Chen Dingxian, and the seventeenth place, Tang Tong.

There are no outstanding talents in this martial arts test of the Qi State Mansion, and the top twenty can account for three of them are already satisfied, as long as they can satisfy the other three, everything will be fine, and they don't want to offend them when they first take office. The anger of the Marquis of Yunyang also came out, Song Guogong also breathed a sigh of relief, and the Marquis of Qingyuan had no objections, this is the result that everyone wants to see. Qingyuan Marquis Chen Dehuai did not fight this time, because Tang Tong offended the Song State Mansion and the Yunyang Marquis Mansion, as well as the Yu Wangfu, and they had to let them vent their anger, and Chen Dehuai had promised to give his grandson Chen Ding a good ranking first, and racked his brains to make him into the top twenty, but he ushered in such a good opportunity, how could he refuse.

Tang Tong was mainly busy with the grain stack this month, and Lu Youzai's addition had an immediate effect. Continued noodles were first favored by poor families who could not eat three meals a day, and then small families also gave up cornmeal and bought continuous noodles instead. After having a good reputation, Lu Youzai used his connections to sell to large households, and the subordinates in the house ate the wowotou made by the continuation of the noodles, and they even claimed that it was delicious, and began to gain a foothold in the big households.

If this matter is handed over to Min Rongchao to do, this effect will not be achieved, interlaced like a mountain, Lu Youzai has a detailed account for each household in the inner city and the outer city. The most important reason why Lu Youzai can abandon Yuansheng Grain Stack to Tongju Grain Stack is the business philosophy of Tongju Grain Stack, of course, the most optimistic about the market prospect of continuation. Due to the lack of supply of Huaishan and sweet potatoes, the continuation of the noodles has been out of stock, but it has also promoted the best-selling of cornmeal, there is a fist product, which can also drive the sales of other auxiliary products, but it is only two months to achieve such a proud performance, how not to make people happy. As long as the supply of goods is sufficient, Lu Youzai is confident that within a year, Tongju Grain Stack will become the third largest grain stack in Beijing.

"Hit! Hit! Hit!", on the day of the release of the martial arts test list, He Wang said as soon as he ran in from outside. Tang Tong is reading a book in the study." My lord, you have won the seventeenth place in the second grade", He Wang said to Tang Tong.

Su Su also came in and shouted with joy; "The master really hit!", he was so excited that he almost jumped up. Tang Tong just smiled faintly, which was expected by him, but he was a little further down. Tang Tong doesn't attach much importance to the ranking of the martial arts test, as long as he wins. The most worrying thing is whether you can stay in the capital, which is the key.

The tiger, who was playing in the yard, listened to it and jumped and said, "My dad has been hit!" My dad has been hit!", Mao Zongxie and Min Rongchao heard the news and came to congratulate Tang Tong, and the living room began to arrange fruits and pastries to entertain the people who came to congratulate. Soon the people who reported the good news came, Lao Jing gave them a red envelope to send them away, and in the afternoon, Wu shopkeeper and Lu Youzai shopkeeper also came to congratulate. That night, the Tang Mansion held a feast and distributed red envelopes to the servants and men, and the entire Tang Mansion was a sea of joy.

When everyone was immersed in joy, Tang Tong, who had drunk some wine, came to the backyard for a walk alone, and then Mao Zongxie came over, "The adults are worried about staying in Beijing, right?".

Tang Tong smiled slightly, infinitely emotional, "Only Brother Mao knows my heart!".

"Chen Dehuai is too stubborn and selfish, wait to thank the teacher and then probe the tone, I think Shang Chengjie is safer there!", Mao Zongxie has always been very accurate in looking at the incident, which is why Tang Tong believes that he is important.

Tang Tong thought that what Mao Zongxie said was very reasonable, looked at the stars in the sky thoughtfully, turned his head to Mao Zongxie and said, "Brother Mao! Recently, I have been close to Shang Chengjie's master for more sets in case of emergency!".

Mao Zongxie nodded frequently, "I know!" Or be prepared for both.".

At this time, Min Rongchao walked up with the intention of drinking, "Didn't you say it's convenient?" Why are the two of them chatting here.", Min Rongchao usually doesn't talk much, and only after drinking a few more glasses of wine will he shine.

"Why do you want us to continue drinking?", Tang Tong collected his mood, put a smile on his face, and asked teasingly.

Min Rongchao's tongue was a little unfavorable, and the wine was already in place. Hurriedly shook his head, "I can't drink anymore!" I'm here to play chess with Lao Mao.", and went to drag him as he spoke.

Mao Zongxie could only just look at him, "Okay! Go to your room and play chess.", said and helped Min Rongchao away.
