Chapter 812: Scramble
Wu Yong, who had a talent for construction, was not appointed as a military advisor by Li Kui. How could he be a master who passed the first place in the palace test and used a student from a county school as a military advisor?
He can't afford to lose this man. Besides, Wu Yong's level may be really good in Liangshan, but in Li Kui's eyes, in terms of level, the traitors in the court are basically stronger than Wu Yong.
Especially Wu Yong's vision is insufficient. In the eyes of Chao Gai and others, Wu Yong may be a rare talent. It is a good hand to come up with ideas and find a way out.
But for Li Kui, Wu Yong's vision is too low, this is not to say that he is stupid, but Wu Yong has never stood on a bigger stage, he can't see through the world, and naturally he doesn't have the mind to swallow mountains and rivers. Wu Yong's life trajectory is the village, and then the cottage, and the farthest time in his life is to go to the capital. It's like a passing visitor. Not to mention the accumulation of life experience, there is no way to talk about it.
In contrast, Gongsun Sheng is much stronger than Wu Yong.
Li Kui was naturally more optimistic about Gongsun Sheng, but even so, Li Kui did not rely on them.
He is a god who can even draw a map of the world, vision, mind, and strategy, how can it be that Liangshan's gang can compare?
As for officialdom?
Forget it, Li Kui's best partner in officialdom is Cai Jing, unless Li Kui becomes the emperor, it is impossible for Cai Jing to give up Longhua and become rich and take refuge in Li Kui.
The road has to be taken step by step, Li Kui wants to put the foundation on Jingdong East Road, and there is indeed only one way to rebel, because in the end he can't bypass the road of conscription. Once the army is recruited, the nature will completely change, and no matter how difficult it is for the Great Song Dynasty, it will have to be exterminated.
But if Xing Shu is detained alone, or even killed this old boy, it shouldn't be too much of a problem.
"My lord, Xing ...... What should I do? ”
"Playing to the court and leaving people behind, this is just a beginning. As for the arrangement, let him go to Salmon Island and follow the death row prisoners to repair the lighthouse! ”
There are many islands in the Great Song Dynasty, and there are not 10,000 islands along the coast, but 8,000.
There are countless shoals and reefs. Jingdong Road is a peninsula, and the Liaohai Sea is still an inland sea, especially many shallow reefs, which have caused countless troubles for boats.
However, the Great Song Dynasty did not have the habit of building lighthouses.
But Li Kui understands a truth, the age of navigation without a lighthouse has absolutely no future. As a result, many islands in the Liaohai Sea, that is, the Bohai Sea in later generations, began to build a vigorous lighthouse infrastructure. A lighthouse can give at least a port, a reef, a direction, a destination, or a danger. It can make the most dangerous boat in the middle of the night and give a certain safety guarantee.
Building a lighthouse on the island is tiring and dangerous, and ordinary people in the Great Song Dynasty are absolutely unwilling to do this kind of work. That is, Li Kui, who fell in love with the prison cells in various places on Jingdong East Road, plus the killing embryos on Shamen Island, finally gathered a wave of people.
"Half a year, my lord, give me another half a year, and I promise to complete the construction of the estimated twenty lighthouses."
"Half a year is too long, and now the training of the fleet has become more and more proficient, and the charts are being surveyed in an orderly manner. Other aspects also need to keep up, especially the lighthouse, which is the guarantee of the night voyage of our fleet. ”
Li Kui was slightly nerve-wracked, at most he could collect some prisoners from the cell, and they had to be young and strong, and the number was not enough. As for recruitment, the danger and fatigue of building a lighthouse on an island is worse than mining in a mine, and it is easy to lose character.
After thinking about it for a while, there was no way to solve it, but Wu said anxiously: "The tools provided by Dashuai have made the progress of the project much faster, especially the kind of iron wheel, which can easily install a big stone that a few people can't lift, and the progress of the project has been greatly improved." Nowadays, the slow speed is mainly due to too many projects, why not concentrate on the construction of some lighthouses, and so on? ”
"Concentrate on a part?" Li Kui pondered for a while, and could only nod his head in agreement: "Mark the location of the islands and the number of reefs on the chart." ”
Wu was terrified to think about which islands the rewind was, and the people of this era did not have a strong concept of space, even if Wu Yong was a scholar.
His forehead was dripping with sweat, and Wu Yong put down the pen in his hand and said nervously to Li Kui: "My lord, what do you think of this?" ”
Li Kui fixed his eyes and knocked, all of them were islands close to Shamen Island, Changdao, and the reef near Dengzhou, and the amount of work was immediately halved, but the lighthouses near Liao and Goryeo were all shelved.
Li Kui knew that it was a helpless move, so he had to nod and say, "Forget it, so be it!" ”
Wu was ready to retire with his hand, and before leaving, he opened his mouth hesitantly. On the contrary, it was Li Kui, who asked, "Just say what you have." ”
"My lord, will you do the opposite?" After Wu Yong finished speaking, his heart seemed to jump out of his chest, and the sound of war drums sounded like a war drum by the ear drum, making him feel like he was facing a great enemy.
Li Kui glanced up at Wu Yong, and then laughed calmly: "What if it's the other way around, what if it's not the other way around?" ”
Wu Yong secretly complained, expecting that it was not Wu Yong who would erect the anti-flag by Li Kui, but Chao Gai.
He is the only one in Liangshan's gang who is not very willing to oppose the Great Song Dynasty, and even wants to rely on Zhao'an to enter the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty. In his bones, Wu Yong is a scholar, but he also has the righteousness of the Jianghu people, which makes him feel a dilemma.
Before, Li Kui was an official of the imperial court, and he naturally had no problem following Li Kui. But now...... Li Kui's style is gone to the road of anti-thieves, and it is a question of when to put up the banner.
Facing Li Kui's rhetorical question, Wu Yong groaned: "My lord, didn't you do a good job as an official before?" Why? ”
"Good to be an official? Wu Yong, do you think your level of being an official is as high as mine? ”
Li Kui doesn't plan to say it explicitly, and when a scholar speaks, he likes to turn around.
Wu Yong's face was crimson, he was ashamed, he couldn't even pass the imperial examination, and what did he say about the level of being an official, didn't he point to his nose and scold him for wishful thinking?
But in the face of Li Kui, he had to hold back his grievances.
pressed his head, pretended to be innocent, and said: "My lord, don't play with the villain, the villain's writing skills are sparse, and the way to be an official has not been touched, how dare you expect to be an official?" ”
"That's right, being an official is like eating noodles, it's not good to look lively outside, and there are anxious and panicked dogs waiting for the meat and bones to fall under the table......"
Listening to Li Kui's analogy, Wu Yong's face was very strange. He didn't know that he belonged to the slave who served the guests at the table? Or the dog under the table looking forward to a big meal, it's not a good word anyway.
Li Kui played with the taste: "Do you still want to listen?" ”
It was humiliating to continue to listen, and Wu Yong didn't say what was in his heart, which was even more unbearable, so he could only bow down and say, "Please also ask the adults to solve their doubts!" ”
"Rules, all the rules are set by people, people give you meat, you eat meat, people see you off you you have to pick up a glass of wine and go on the road immediately, such officialdom is like a group of insects, crowded together, in order to live a good life, if you are alone, ants can eat it. As for the world, this world is still Zhao Song's, Rong Di does not enter the capital, and I am still a courtier. ”
"The world...... Rong Di ......" Wu Yong's eyes suddenly lit up, and he seemed to see some clues. Li Kui wants a right name. In fact, in the long river of history, that is, the world of the Han Dynasty is justified, and other dynasties cannot escape the suspicion of infamy.
But Rong Di entered Beijing, and Wu Yong felt that he would never see it in his life.
Li Kui smiled and said: "The world is stable, it's good, the world is in chaos, why can't you be the mainstay, are you stupid to read?" You are a descendant of Yan and Huang, not a descendant of Zhao Song, crying and shouting to serve the imperial court, why don't you think that even if you don't have the opportunity to display your talents in the Central Plains, jump out of the Central Plains, the world is more vast than you think. Let's just say that there are three kingdoms around this Liaohai, Song, Liao, and Goryeo, even if the Song State can't start, what about other places? Isn't the city that has been beaten down a city? ”
Wu Yong pondered, he seemed to have little chance of being in the Great Song Dynasty, maybe he could follow Li Kui to display his ambitions. Unfortunately, it was not quite what he imagined.
Back at the residence, Chao Gai, Liu Tang and others surrounded him and asked in a gossipy voice, "Brother, have you asked clearly?" What does it mean to be handsome? ”
This is the difference between other people and Wu Yong, Wu Yong called Li Kui 'adult', this is because he looks forward to one day entering the court and entering the officialdom. Can others ...... They are all thieves who are hard to change, and they are all waiting for Li Kui to take Xing Shu under the knife, and then - kill the official and rebel!
A few of them didn't want to think about it, Xing Shu's life was in their hands, if they really chopped Xing Shu, there would definitely be only one way to rebel, and even the road to Zhao'an would be blocked.
But Li Kui is different, he is also an official, and his status is not much worse than Xing Shu, Li Kui killed Xing Shu, which is a personal vendetta. I can't touch the edge of rebellion yet.
And Wu used to test Li Kui many times, and Li Kui also told him that Xing Shu wanted to kill.
It's just that I will toss this goods for a while, collect some interest, and let Xing Shu suffer a little more.
Wu Yong looked at the expectant gazes around him, gritted his back molars and said, "Kill!" ”
"Hooray!" Liu Tang shouted.
The others followed suit: "Hurrah! ”
It was as if killing an official meant a lot to their careers.
Others don't know, but Wu Yong is clear, and it really means a lot. Chao Gai and the others raised the anti-flag, but what they did was still the business of bandits, specializing in robbery.
Not killing an official is an insult to their careers, and they will be nailed to the pillar of shame of bandits and bandits for the rest of their lives.
But the problem is, kill officials, they really don't have a chance! And they don't look down on the county's eight-pin county order. The civil officials of the Great Song Dynasty, in addition to Kaifeng Mansion, also have several accompanying capitals such as Yingtian Mansion and Henan Mansion, and the county orders in other places are all eight-grade officials. Such petty officials do not conform to the card of killing officials and rebelling.
Even if the county order is not easy to kill for Chao Gai and them, a second-grade civil official suddenly fell, or a scholar, a traitorous minister. Chao Gai felt that this was a great opportunity for him to prove his ambition to the world's heroes. exclaimed again and again: "Good! That's great! ”
Liu Tang shouted, this guy is the most fearless, even if he calls Emperor Li Kui tomorrow.
Even if Li Kui and Liu Tang had a feud before, but one day he told him that Li Kui wanted to be his boss, would he be willing?
Liu Tang will never say a word.
He is a bad life, and what about Li Kui?
The reincarnation of Wenqu Xing, if you really want to talk about it, is almost the difference between heaven and earth. Especially Li Kui's identity as a hero in the world has long been a certainty, and he is not convinced that others are the bosses. But Li Kui wants to be his boss Liu Tang, and he is a hundred convinced. This is the inferiority caused by the disparity in status. Thousands of words are combined into one sentence, and the life of a scholar is precious.
Now, Chao Gai also has a convincing gratitude to Li Kui, it seems that he can finally face up to the gap between him and Li Kui, and only Li Kui can lead them to glory.
It stands to reason that Chao Gai is the eldest brother, and he feels that it is the best result to give Liang Shan a settlement by himself, so he smiled and said: "Brothers, let the foolish brother finish that guy at that time." ”
Liu Tang stopped doing it, and shouted: "Brother, how dare you be tired, let my brother come!" ”
"Foolish brother, this is as it should be, don't bother brother."
"Brother, I haven't killed the second-grade official, I want to have a good time!"
"You dare to rob me?"
"Brother, now the big leader is not you, it's Li Dashuai."
"He won't agree to let you do it, you've offended him."
"I'm not convinced!"
