The Li family divided the property, and Cheng Zhijie, an outsider, couldn't sit down.

He took Gongsun Sheng, who looked dejected, and left Bachelor's Alley a little reluctantly. It is also strange to say, although Liu Baosheng is now the Taishi, and Cheng Zhijie is the second brother-in-law of the emperor's concubine, but if you really want to compare, Gongsun Sheng still feels that the old Li family is full of momentum and is the ideal object for him to show his ambitions.

The Li family is now in the early stages, that is, Li Kui and Li Yun.

Li Kui's development momentum may be rapid, but Li Yun is difficult to say. Wu Jinshi was not popular in the Great Song Dynasty, and the same was true for Wu Zhuangyuan.

If he hadn't made meritorious contributions to the border fortress, Li Yun would have been in the army for at least 30 years before he had the opportunity to become the commander of the capital from the fifth rank or the capital of the second-rate army.

Further up, there is basically no possibility.

Unless he can perform miraculous feats and become a famous general in the army.

But Li Kui is different, he is a civil official, he takes the exam every three years, moves every six years, and the emperor's weight, he can be exempted from the exam every three years. In less than a year, Li Kui would not be the seventh grade he is today.

This kind of promotion speed happens to many jinshi.

Li Kui's teacher, Zhou Yuan, was not among them...... The ranking of the palace examination was too low, and even the emperor didn't know that there was such a talent as him.

Especially his status as a Beijing official, if he is released quickly, if he is released after half a year, it will at least be a general sentence. If it takes a little longer, going out of Beijing is Zhizhou. But this possibility is almost non-existent, and the career of civil officials in the Great Song Dynasty is generally regular. Basically, the civil officials that the imperial court wants to reuse will soon become pro-people officials.

That is, the officials who manage the local government.

The county order and the general judgment are both promotion processes to be experienced.

The general sentence is already a very high starting treatment. Ordinary is the county order, and the first point is the county order. The original intention of the imperial court was to let the new science and technology scholars know that the people were suffering, and learn how to deal with the most basic government affairs such as taxation, forced labor, criminal law, etiquette, etc., don't look at a small county, but it has all kinds of organs, and there is almost no difference between the six cao settings and the court. It's just that the people who do things are a little worse, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and he is more free to do things.

It's just that because the vacancies of the county orders in the Great Song Dynasty are limited, when the officials send officials, they will only send county officials to the top Jinshi in the second class. Most of the others are official professors, or official positions such as Xuezheng in Taixue. This kind of righteous duty becomes a sending. The Yu Lu taken is the Yu Lu of the county order; There is also a post, just like Li Kui's direct secretary's cabinet is a post, and the money he gets is an official subsidy. There are also civil and military officials, titles, etc., which can be used as an integral part of the official salary.

But the only official position that can really manage things and do things is to send them.

Even if Li Kui is promoted quickly, it will be at least six years before he wants to achieve the official rank of Zhizhou.

Besides, Zhizhou is not a great official. Where is the position of the Taishi not prominent?

But Gongsun Sheng stubbornly believes that the rising momentum of the Li family is unstoppable. And the Liu family has begun to go downhill. The most is the emperor's family, in case the virtuous concubine falls out of favor in the palace, the old Liu family will collapse and the wall will collapse. But the Li family will not, as long as Li Kui does not die, the prosperity of the family will not be completely suppressed.

It's a pity that if you take a wrong step and take a wrong step, if you follow Li Kui, it will be a great opportunity.

is different from Gongsun Sheng's gains and losses, Hu Yanzhuo is really very satisfied with taking refuge in Cheng Zhijie.

Cheng Zhijie is also a senior general of the Tiger Wing Army in the front of the palace, and he is also the chief general who leads the troops. Although a battalion of 3,000 men is a little far from his thousands of troops. However, the Tiger Wing Army is not the Fourth Army, it is an army that will be sent out to fight. If the heritage of the Huyan family is still there, Huyanzhuo will definitely not look down on a battalion leader of the Tiger Wing Army, and the deputy commander is just an envoy.

But now the scenery of the Huyan family has long been empty, and they need to work hard to recreate the glory of the year.

Hu Yanzhuo was more inclined to the Tiger Wing Army, which had the opportunity to make war exploits, rather than the Fourth Army. After all, for him, the four armies of the Fourth Army, Tianwu, Zhuan, Longwei, and Shenwei, are all the emperor's own army, also known as the imperial camp, and they are only stationed in the capital, and will not go out of the capital to defend the border. The generals in these armies, in addition to being promoted by seniority, can only rely on their family background if they want to get ahead, but he can't count on it.

Tiger Wing is much better, especially Cheng Zhijie once boasted that he would go to the northwest to fight for His Majesty.

This is most in line with Hu Yanzhuo's intentions.

Of course, the better result is that he can also take the relationship of the Taishi, so as to take the route of the virtuous concubine.

Where to be an official, not to be an official? Why bother with whether your knee hurts or not?

"Proprietor, this person has the appearance of a snake, not a long-term person!" What Hu Yanzhuo didn't expect was that he followed Cheng Zhijie before the other party recruited him, but he was attacked by the villain. Gongsun Sheng almost pointed at his nose and slandered him for misconduct.

"Villain, absolute villain, why didn't the Li family kill this demon dao?" Hu Yanzhuo blew his beard and stared, and he was about to faint.

Hu Yanzhuo has not yet taken refuge in Cheng Zhijie, but was invited by Cheng Zhijie to drink tea at home, with obvious intentions. didn't think that Gongsun Sheng didn't even want to wait for the time to go home, so he slandered him directly. At this time, after Gongsun Shengjiang was beaten by the Li family before, his scattered hair was tied with a ribbon, which immediately gave people an elegant and convincing bearing. Except that the corners of his mouth are indeed a little red and swollen, looking from the side, he still looks like a master of the Daomen as always.

But as soon as this thing opened his mouth, he slandered, which really made Hu Yan's burning teeth itch.

But...... Hu Yanzhuo doesn't know what a snake is?

Anyway, he knew that the thing was jealous of his talent and wanted to drive him away. Hu Yanzhuo can see the great opportunity slip away, and immediately bowed his head and said: "In the front hall of the next dynasty, the general Hu Yanzan is the seventh grandson, and now the martial arts are ...... Wu Jinshi. Meet General Cheng. ”

"I have long heard that the elder brother of General Huyan of the Iron Whip, now that I have met, I feel very cordial, I don't know if General Huyan has a way to choose an official after the high school martial arts?"

Gongsun Sheng knew from the side that Cheng Zhijie, a dead fat man, had the heart to recruit, since the defeat of Yuncheng, Cheng Zhijie had no confidence in himself, and he was extremely confident in the guy who looked powerful on the surface. In the current martial arts, he has already won over two people, and if he recruits people into his tiger camp again, I am afraid that even the official position of deputy commander will be promised out.

"Not yet, wait for the Privy Council to make an order!"

Speaking of which, who doesn't want to be an official in the capital?

Who wouldn't want to work under the powerful?

Hu Yan waited for Cheng Zhijie to speak, and Cheng Zhijie was also very cooperative: "If the elder brother doesn't dislike it, how about coming to my palace?" ”

"General Xie cultivates."

Hu Yanzhuo was overjoyed when he heard this, if he was selected by the Privy Council, why not be an official at home? didn't win the martial champion, and this martial arts move was a failure for him.

But if you can catch the Taishi Mansion, it is indeed another village, and the future will suddenly brighten.

Cheng Zhijie pulled Hu Yanzhuo and Gongsun Sheng, and persuaded him a little bit to turn dry silk into jade silk: "In the future, everyone will be brothers in robes, don't be angry anymore."

By the way, and the Li Mansion, don't think about crooked brains, so as not to dislike the Taishi. Of course, if you rely on the means in your hands and want to make an appointment with the Li family, you won't say a word more as an elder brother, and Li Kui won't care, don't think too badly about him, he just doesn't disdain to have the same knowledge as you. But I can tell you that the best kung fu of the Li family is not Li Quan, but Li Kui. ”

"Li Kui? Li Kui of the Straight Secret Pavilion? Hu Yanzhuo said dumbfounded.

"But no, when I followed Brother Li Kui to exterminate the bandits in Niubei Mountain, a cottage of more than 600 people, he and Li Quan broke through the village, and none of them had a joint general. Also, Li Kui killed a tiger with his bare hands at the beginning. These are all things that my third brother saw with his own eyes. Hu Yanzhuo, you should be glad that at least you didn't provoke Li Kui and lead him to do it. Cheng Zhijie grinned.

And for Gongsun Sheng, he already knew this.

At the beginning, Brother Chao Gai was unlucky, and he was unlucky in the hands of Li Kui. But Hu Yanzhuo doesn't know! It was the first time he heard that Li Kui still had such powerful martial arts. After all, the Imperial Boxing Gym is under the roots of the Imperial City, and the rumors of Li Kui's superior martial arts are only spreading in a small area. It's not a secret in the civil service, but after knowing it, he also dislikes Li Kui for being rude.

Hu Yanzhuo was stunned, a Li Quan had already trampled on his family heirloom martial arts, but what he didn't expect was that Li Quan was not the most powerful Li family.

It turns out that the most powerful person in the Li family is Li Kui, who is a civil official?

Thinking of this, Hu Yanzhuo was so frightened that his back was cold sweating, did he eat the gall of a male leopard and go to find the bad luck of the Li family?

Neng can stretch and snort, and decisively said to Cheng Zhijie: "Please rest assured, the general will see his family hiding after his humble post." ”

Not to mention Cheng Zhijie, the second son-in-law of the Taishi family who went back to his life, the moment the Li family could finally see the family wealth, they were very excited.

I all know that Yizhou Li has been sent over the years.

But to what extent, even the Li clansmen don't know very well.

When Li Kui was ready to discuss his marriage, and the third uncle presided over the distribution of a part of the Li family's wealth to Li Kui, all the members of the Li family had the opportunity to see the tip of the iceberg of the Li family's huge wealth.

Yan Song, who was the closest to the third uncle, walked out holding a square piece of cloth that was folded up. Then with the help of Li Qing and others, it was hung under the eaves of the main house, and the Li clan looked at the third uncle with blank eyes, but the third uncle snorted coldly at all and asked, "What do you see me doing?" ”

Li Lin stood up boldly, when no one dared to question the third uncle on weekdays, it was the fifth uncle Li Lin who didn't know whether he was alive or dead would stand up and provoke the anger of the third uncle, and this time it was the same, he said with a suspicious face: "Third uncle, don't you always take the account book?" You can hang a rag quickly, what does this mean? ”

Li Lin pointed to the white cloth that was hanging, it was not a white cloth, there were circles and dots everywhere on it, and he couldn't understand what it was.

"I don't recognize a few words, old man, do you think I can read the ledger written in the bookkeeper?" The third uncle asked Li Lin confidently, and Li Lin was speechless. In fact, the third uncle still recognizes a few words, the old man is very studious, although there are not many, but he is not really illiterate. But now it's true that his eyes are not good, and he doesn't bother to look at the account book, so he simply uses his method to keep accounts, and others can't understand what these ghost talismans mean.

If anyone on the scene understands it, it can only be Li Kui, the Wenqu star among the Li clan in Yizhou.

But he understands it, but if he understands it, he understands it, and what the third uncle hung up is a map of the Chinese region. In the early years, this place would have been called Qingzhou and Yanzhou. In the Song Dynasty, the map was changed to Jingdong East Road and Jingdong West Road. In later generations, students who have taken geography classes will know that this is the Shandong Peninsula. But he was puzzled: "Third grandfather, what are you doing with the maps of Jingdong East Road and Jingdong West Road?" ”

"Renjie, worthy of being the smartest person in my clan, can see the layout of decay at a glance." The third uncle pressed down on Li Kui with his hand out of thin air

, Li Kui sat down with interest.

Then, the third uncle spoke: "Everyone here is from the Li clan, so I'll make a long story short, there is no money in the clan." I didn't have a penny, and I still owed a debt of 100,000 Guan Hui Tong Bank. ”

Hearing this, others had nothing, Li Lin suddenly exploded, and shouted: "How is it possible, Xuehua Salt has made more money in the past two years, and everyone knows it, third uncle, you said that there is no money in the clan, say this, are you always at a loss?" ”

The third uncle glanced at Li Lin, his eyes were cold, like a soaring bird, and he looked down at the pity of the finch who had no ambition - Li Lin, you also deserve to question the old man?

After the third uncle's eyes swept around, he said calmly: "The old man said that there is no money in the clan, not that there is really no money, but that the money has been exchanged for land, warehouses, merchants, and hundreds of ships of all sizes, as well as a shipyard in Dengzhou. You think that these don't cost money, but now the production of my Li Family Grange, as long as it is not underpaid, is enough for 100,000 people for a year. That's all, what's the point of spending millions? ”

Although Li Lin knew that there was money in the clan, he had also received a lot of monthly money distributed to the clansmen in the clan over the years. But this money is like the wages of a long-term worker working for the landlord's old wealth, Li Lin doesn't know what others think, anyway, he feels this way, and he is aggrieved.

I always feel that there is a huge wealth in the clan, and I don't know it from everyone. And he wanted to inquire, but he was repeatedly frustrated, and all those who knew did not tell him.

This made him often feel that he was isolated by the third uncle, but when he heard the third uncle openly say that only the grange in the clan could support 100,000 people a year, he was dumbfounded, Li Lin gritted his teeth and slapped his mouth, the corners of his mouth were hot and painful, and he secretly said in his heart: "This is not a dream?" ”
