If you want to be idle and not disturbed, being an official in the Great Song Dynasty is a very enjoyable life.

Of course, there are several prerequisites that civil officials at and above the Zhizhou level, who were born as Jinshi, were ostracized by political enemies and had nothing to do.

In fact, in the Great Song Dynasty, there were few governors who would take care of the state's government affairs, and they were generally busy with the outside world. Therefore, in the Great Song Dynasty, most of the civil officials who were born as Jinshi had to go through the experience of general judgment, because this was the most important experience to be familiar with local affairs. Generally speaking, after the governor level officials arrive at the local level, they will do one or two things, such as dredging rivers, such as building academies, and after doing this, they can paddle at will for a three-year term. This is called brushing up on political achievements.

As for such a thing, it is not that there is no such thing, but that there are very few.

The Analects has long said the way to be an official: see more and talk less, and do things carefully. This is the way to be an official. Over the past 2,000 years, officials who have adhered to this rule of being officials may not necessarily be brilliant, but it is not difficult to achieve steady promotion.

Thinking about Zhizhou's reluctance to manage mundane affairs, how could a high-ranking official like Lu Huiqing take the work of a craftsman and do things for Li Kui?

Xuanfu made the yamen report the incident to Yan'an Mansion, and then the army cooperated, and then went down layer by layer, and finally what Li Kui couldn't understand was that Gongsun Sheng took on the heavy responsibility of supervising the construction of cannons. The reason why Lu Huiqing patted Li Kui's chest and said that he would prepare everything for Li Kui was because Li Kui was the Tanhua of Shaosheng Jiaxuke, the elite of the civil and official clusters of the Eight Classics, so he had the promise of the big man. But such promises are useless.

Gongsun Sheng was more unlucky, he was forced to receive the military order, and he only had ten days. He and his craftsmen studied the materials of the artillery, and finally came to the conclusion that it was not enough to melt copper coins alone, but needed to be refined to meet the requirements.

The whole city collects money, Shaosheng Year is not successful, there is too much lead, and the last time you have to use the money of Jiayou Year. The proportion of copper is different for different years, and the copper coins in the Renzong period are the best because of the high copper content. But it didn't work out in the Shenzong period.

Fortunately, it is impossible for the Great Song Dynasty to lack money if it lacks anything, and it is easy to get enough money. But refined copper is not easy to get, and now it is impossible to mobilize it from the Central Plains, so you can only find a way in Fushi City.

Li Kui was busy urging Gao Yu to train artillerymen, and at first he did not inquire about who would supervise the work of making artillery. When Gongsun Sheng found him, Gongsun Sheng didn't look for him to coordinate artillery matters with him, but because this thing was in trouble and wanted to find Li Kui to settle it.

"You mean you fake public welfare ......" Li Kui stared at Gongsun Sheng with unkind eyes, the conscience of heaven and earth, Gongsun Sheng all shouted for himself, he was so busy that he didn't even have the time to eat and go to the thatched house, what mood did he have to fake the public and private?

Gongsun Sheng said sadly and angrily: "My lord, this is a rumor, I am conscientious and conscientious for the Great Song Dynasty, how dare I fake the public and help myself?" Besides, I have left a white note of the Xuanfu Division, and I have shown the official documents of the Xuanfu Envoy to the Puji Temple, where is the fake public and private, it is clear that the monk is unwilling to serve the country, and he will fall into the ground. Adults and villains suspect that the monks of Puji Temple have fornicated with Western Xia. ”

You, a Taoist priest, ran to the temple of other monks, confiscated other people's magic weapons, and confiscated the big bell in the temple, saying that you would cast weapons to deal with Western Xia.

If Gongsun Sheng didn't wear a Taoist robe and didn't bring a whisk, everything would be easy to say.

The key is that you, a Taoist priest, go to other people's temples to smash the field, can the monk endure this breath?

The fight between Buddhism and Taoism is the same as a fight between cats and dogs, there is no reason for it, it is just that it is not pleasing to the other party. Li Kui pondered that he couldn't get involved in this matter, and said, "Why don't you go to Lu Gong?" ”

Lu Huiqing is the highest military and political chief in Yanyan Road, and he can manage this kind of dispute involving Taoist priests and monks. As for Li Kui?

Forget it, his current official position, he can't manage anything, it is within his duty to catch a spy fugitive, but if it is to mediate the dispute between monks and Taoist priests, he doesn't think he has this face.

Unexpectedly, Gongsun Sheng was stunned and didn't leave, lowered his head, gritted his teeth and said: "Lord Lu believes in Buddhism!" ”

That kind of desperate look once made Li Kui think strangely, would this guy secretly drug Lu Huiqing and kill this guy who betrayed the great god of Haotian.

Even if Gongsun Sheng had no way to retreat, Li Kui didn't think he had a reason to intervene to help. He looked left and right and said, "Don't you see that I'm busy?" ”

Busy recruiting senior family members?

For the word senior, Gongsun Sheng may not have much feeling. But he has a deep understanding of Li Kui's boldness, and of course he also despises Li Kui's character. What a high-ranking family, to put it bluntly, is the ash on the battlefield. Others don't know, can Gongsun Sheng still not guess? Li Kui is afraid that he will go to the battlefield in a few days, Cheng Zhijie can't count on it, although this is said to be a disciple of the general, but if he is put on the battlefield, even Gongsun Sheng, who is Cheng Zhijie's dog, is afraid that he will have to choose between pretending to be dead and escaping.

Others don't know Gao Yu's ability, but can Gongsun Sheng not know it?

This is the great god of Keju, a cute pet on the battlefield.

In the end, all the commands of the battle will fall on Li Kui, and what kind of senior family members Li Kui recruits at this time must not really need family members, but choose a few young people with strong martial arts, and go to the battlefield to die.

Other than that, he couldn't think of anything else. Fooling people, Gongsun Sheng felt that he was still competent, and volunteered: "The villain can serve the adult." ”

This kid is relying on himself, Li Kui thought.

When he was struggling, Ruan Xiaoer ran back, and while running, he shouted: "Young master, there is a fight at the door." ”

"Fighting?" Li Kui raised his eyes and asked Ruan Xiaoer: "Who is fighting with whom?" ”

"The monk who blocked the door with two reckless men, I don't know how this monk offended the two of them, but young master, I think these two people are very suitable for being housekeepers." Ruan Xiaoer happily gestured, as if after Li Kui recruited people around him, he would be promoted to the captain of the family Ding team.

Lying on the wall, he found that Gongsun Sheng had already found a good place, and Li Kui said with disdain: "Courageless bandits!" ”

Outside the courtyard, sure enough, two reckless men punched and kicked a big monk, but the monk did not beg for mercy, but instead hugged his head and shouted: "The two of them are going to be angry, listen to the Sprinkle family, you are really the adversity of the past life, the enemy of life and death in this life, if you do not take refuge in my Buddha and use the supreme Dharma of my Buddha to resolve the resentment in your heart, you will definitely not die." The monk is for your good. ”

After all, he was beating a monk, but he was just a monk who owed his mouth, and the two strong men didn't dare to use their strength.

The monk Li Kui has known for a long time, that is, the great monk of Puji Temple, and came to him to block the door and complain. Li Kui didn't dare to deal with him, he was afraid that he would not be able to talk to the monk, and the use of force could only intensify the contradictions.

"The tall man has solid kung fu with his fists and feet, especially the bottom plate, and he is a good hand."

Ruan Xiaoer's eyes lit up: "It's a pity that that Humpty Fat Dunkong has brute strength, but he doesn't have the foundation of kung fu, and when he swings his fists, he is floating, but it's a pity that his strength is not used in the right place." ”

Lu Qian also pretended to look at it from the side, he didn't like this bad habit of climbing the wall to peek, but the problem was that even Li Kui liked it, what reason did he have not to like it?

Even if he was pretending, Lu Qian didn't dare to show that his pursuit was higher than Li Kui's.

Lu Qian hesitated: "That strong man is not short, right?" The main reason is that one of them is too tall, and it is good to have a lot of strength, and you don't need to be a master in the army. Besides, Master Li said that he would only recruit a few available people temporarily, and not necessarily people would stay. ”

Ruan Xiaoer turned his head to look Lu Qian up and down for a while, and said, "You're right, it's not shorter than you." ”

Lu Qian's height is not satisfactory, this is also a matter of no choice, if he is really tall, he will not major in the hand knife in the Royal Boxing Gym. However, his height was despised by Ruan Xiaoer, who was shorter than him, and Lu Qian was really a little difficult to accept, so he defended himself in the period: "The Yellow Emperor said in the internal scriptures that a man's height will grow to twenty-eight years old. That is, in the year of four or seven, I still have about eight or nine years to grow taller. ”

If the explanation is useful, why are there so many disobedient people in the world?

Ruan Xiaoer sneered: "A millimeter a year is also a long, a year is half a foot long, I have grown more than half a foot this year, what about you?" ”

Ruan Xiaoer, the half-eldest son, is the age of the eldest person, and the height of these days is very obvious. Lu Qian was clumsy, turned his head and closed his eyes to heal the scars in his heart. I secretly decided in my heart that I would never talk to Ruan Xiaoer in my life.

Seeing that it was almost over, Li Kui came down from the wall and went out to shout to stop: "Stop!" ”

The two strong men stopped their fists, and what was amazing was that the monk was unscathed, got up from the ground, patted the dust on his body easily, and shouted a Buddha name: "Amitabha, monk Zhiqing, I have seen an adult." ”

Zhiqing monk?

Li Kui didn't care what the monk's name was, what surprised him was that Monk Zhiqing got up from the ground as if he was nothing, not at all like he had been beaten by two reckless men for a while. This calm appearance made Li Kui can't help but guess in his heart, what is the origin of this monk, it can't be the practice of King Kong is not bad, right?

As for whether there is this kung fu or not, Li Kui doesn't know, but the monk Zhiqing seems to attach great importance to Li Kui, explaining: "The poor monk is just a life-saving kung fu from the outer door, and he can't compare to the extraordinary and adventures of adults." As he spoke, Monk Zhizhen twisted his fingers in a matter-of-fact manner, and suddenly his face changed, and he exclaimed: "Weird, really weird, the heaven-killing star changed his life, it's so heavy." ”

Others seem to think that this old monk is pedantic, and as soon as he opens his mouth, he offends Li Kui, a civil official.

But Li Kui chuckled in his heart, God Killing Star, isn't this what he is talking about? But the problem is, what is the one hundred and eight generals of Liangshan, at this time there is still no shadow, and suddenly someone else brought it up, and suddenly there was a kind of nervousness that was broken. Li Kui pretended not to care and smiled: "Master, do you see something?" ”

"The monk recently drank porridge, and he was hungry with his chest pressed against his back, maybe he was dazzled!"

Looking at the bright head of Monk Zhizhen, Li Kui suddenly remembered, isn't Monk Zhiqing the presiding abbot of the Daxiangguo Temple in Tokyo?

He also has a senior brother, the Zhizhen monk of the Wenshu Monastery of Wutai Mountain?

Thinking of this, Li Kui not only has a big head, but these monks don't really have mana, right?

However, Li Kui still endured it, and brought Gongsun Sheng, the two met, and suddenly it was an enemy meeting, and his eyes were red, and the monk Zhiqing pointed to Gongsun Sheng's nose and scolded: "Thief, uneasy and kind, my Buddha and your real person river water do not violate the well water, why can't you get along with my Buddha." If you don't tell me about the ugly Yin today, the monk and you, the Taoist priest, will not die. ”

Finding that the monk Zhiqing did not recognize Gongsun Sheng, Li Kui was immediately relieved.

Pull the monk to drink tea and ask people to prepare a table of vegetarian dishes.

Monk Zhiqing sighed for a long time: "My lord doesn't know, my Puji Temple was originally not prosperous, and now the monks in the temple can only drink porridge to live, but I didn't expect to let this shameless Taoist priest steal the magic weapons in my temple, and also took away the bell of the bell tower in the temple, the thief is extremely sinister." ”

"Fushi is not a small city, why is it difficult for the master's temple to make a living?"

Li Kui's concerned appearance did not seem to be fake, which made the anger in Monk Zhiqing's heart go down a lot. Puji Temple was founded in the Tang Dynasty, it was also brilliant at the beginning, the temple has nearly 10,000 acres of cultivated land, it stands to reason that life should not be so difficult. But who made Yan'an Mansion suddenly become the hardest hit area of the war between the Great Song Dynasty and Western Xia, and the farmland outside the city of Fushi was gradually abandoned because there were no farmers to cultivate it.

Although Fushi is the capital of Yan'an Prefecture, in fact, it is a military town.

In addition to fighting Han in the city, there are people who serve as servants, and the former has the financial resources to consume and give alms, but the problem is that the military men are not good men and women, and they don't believe in Buddhism at all. The latter is quite pious and willing to believe in the Buddha's miracles, but the problem is that the people are poor one by one, not only do they not have the ability to give to the temple, but they even need help from the temple from time to time.

The more Li Kui listened, the more he felt that the monk's troubles were fake, and getting out was real! However, this monk is also a ruthless man, and he doesn't want to say a word, and he is ready to leave.

Li Kui hesitated: "I don't know where the master goes?" ”

Monk Zhiqing sighed: "People outside the square only want a place to live, but they can't do it, so they can only go to my senior brother Zhizhen." Speaking of which, I can't complain about my lord, the ambition of the party is a wolf, and it has endangered the border of the Great Song Dynasty for decades, and now everyone in Yan'an Mansion is at enmity with the party, and it is understandable that Buddhism needs to contribute in wartime. It's just that the temple is in decline, the Buddha statues have been destroyed, and now the Dharma weapons are all lost, and they are no longer able to maintain them. Alas......"

If Monk Zhiqing made a big noise, Li Kui really wouldn't pay attention to him. But the problem is that what the monk said is pitiful, if Li Kui still cares, he can't say it.

"I don't know where Master Zhizhen is?"

"Wutai Mountain Wenshu Monastery."

Monk Zhiqing sighed: "My senior brother has just been promoted to abbot now, and he can still call the shots by taking me in and a few others." ”

"Sure enough."

Li Kui really didn't expect to meet Monk Zhizhen in Yan'an Mansion, but this monk is not simple, and it may be unfathomable to say that kung fu may be unfathomable. He pondered for a while, and felt that it was not bad to have a good fate, so he spoke: "My father-in-law is the master of the court, and he is committed to the Buddha, I will give you a book, I wonder if the master is willing to go to the capital to try his luck?" ”

"Thank you, my lord, the little monk is willing to go." Monk Zhiqing didn't hesitate at all, as if waiting for Li Kui to say this.

Li Kui was amused and wrote a letter of recommendation to Monk Zhiqing and handed it to the old party.

Monk Zhiqing thanked him and left, leaving two reckless men looking at each other, not knowing what would happen.

Li Kui raised his hand and pointed at the tall man and said, "You are here to apply for a senior family?" ”

"That's right." The two said in unison.

"Do you know why it pays so well?"

"When there is a war, there are always some people who feel that it is none of their business, but they don't think that they can hide from it, have money to take, and kill party thieves, where can I find this good thing?"

"That's what the villain means."

The strength of the other party is good, especially the tall man, Li Kui immediately decided to accept them, nodded and said, "Since this is the case, you will stay." Introduce yourself, starting with you. ”

"The villain Zheng Tu, I learned to kill pigs before, I have a little strength, and I have learned some superficial kung fu, but I can't compare to the methods of experts." The short and fat strong man was not stage frightened, and said in a calm tone, but the eyes that looked at Li Kui were a little erratic, and it seemed difficult to figure out.

The tall man spoke in a more nasal voice, a little urn-like appearance, and laughed before he could speak: "I am a rough man, my family used to be a military household, I have no other hobbies, it doesn't matter if I don't give money if I have wine or meat." By the way, my name is Ruda. ”

Zheng Tu is okay, Luda?

You are a reckless man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, do you know that you just beat your own uncle with a bad guy?
