After accepting Li Tianyan and Si Xingfang as apprentices, Wu Zhi was extremely happy in his heart. In order to escape the government's want, Wu Zhi changed the names of the two to Li Zhenguo and Si Fangguo respectively, and the two readily agreed.

Wu Zhi has a plan in his heart, and he also wants to train Li Tianyan and Si Xingfang to be the same as Suo Chao, both of them will be admitted to the martial arts jinshi, and they must be famous, so that they can contribute to the Great Song Dynasty and Wu Zhi in the future.

Thousands of dollars are easy to obtain, and talents are rare. These two young men are extraordinary, and they will be regarded as characters on the domineering side in the future!

Li Zhenguo and Si Fangguo (that is, Li Tianyan and Si Xingfang) have liked to practice martial arts since they were children, and they have a very good martial arts foundation, and what is especially rare is that both of them can read and write, which makes it easier for Wu Zhi to teach him.

Famous teachers produce high apprentices, Wu Zhi himself is also a master, and he has two lifetimes of experience, and his learning experience is very rich, teaching these two teenagers and Suo Chao is not a problem, the three of them have also worked very hard, and they have made great progress.

In order to make Li Zhenguo and Si Fangguo feel a sense of belonging, Wu Zhi arranged for the two of them to be under Suo Yanqing as a small nurse, and they were also given a monthly salary of 12 yuan per month.

Three young people are together, young and vigorous, and there are many stories.

Every day, in addition to going to the county government to sit, Wu Zhi asked about the "Pan Wuji" Caoyun Company, and then paid attention to the production and sales of the Zhuangyuan series of wines, and by the way, he instructed Suo Chao, Li Zhenguo and Si Fangguo, and took Jin Lian and Xiao'e around Weishi County when they were free, and the small life was very full and comfortable.

In this way, time flies, and in a blink of an eye, more than half a year has passed quietly, and the new year is coming!

On the first day of the first month of the fifth year of Shaosheng, the New Year's Day court meeting was held in Daqing Hall as scheduled.

The civil and military officials wore court clothes, and stood in shifts according to the rank, and the royal relatives and nobles such as Duan Wang Zhao Ji and Shen Wang Zhao Qi also had their own side, and the people of each province Xie Yuan also ranked with the crown clothes, and the "marching officials" of the prefectures renamed by the "Chaoji Envoy" were each holding gifts such as local specialties.

After everyone gave New Year's greetings to Emperor Zhao Xu, the Empress Dowager and Concubine Zhu, Zhao Xu glanced around, looked at Hao Sui suspiciously, and asked casually, "Why didn't you see Wuqing's family coming to the court?"

"Wu Qing's family? Is it Takesik-sama? Hao Sui was surprised when he heard this question from the official family, and asked a little uncertainly.

"That's him! Isn't he a censor? Why don't you come to the court? Zhao Xu said a little unhappily.

"Back to the official's house, Lord Wu Zhi is not in the capital now, he is the county commander in Weishi County!" Hao Sui glanced at Zhao Xu strangely and said softly. "It's obvious that you brought people to Weishi County, why did you forget it?" Hao Sui muttered to himself in his heart.

"Oh, that's it!" When Zhao Xu heard this, he muttered to himself, and suddenly remembered that he had demoted people to Weishi County!

"Then how long has he been in Weishi County?" Zhao Xu thought about it for a while, and then asked Hao Sui in a low voice.

"Back to the official's house, it should be more than half a year!" Hao Sui thought carefully for a moment before replying.

"Oh!" Zhao Xu let out a soft "oh" and stopped talking. Hao Sui couldn't guess his mind for a while.

After the lively New Year's Day court meeting, when the civil and military officials and the emperor's relatives gradually left, Zhao Xu invited Zhang Chun and Xu Jiang to the imperial study.

"Give a seat to the two Qing families!" Zhao Xu commanded Hao Sui.

Hao Sui moved two embroidered stools. Zhang Chun and Xu Jiang thanked each other and sat down in turn, and the two of them were also puzzled, very curious why the official family left them in the imperial study.

"Xu Qingjia, Wu Zhi has been a county magistrate in Weishi County for more than half a year, how is the wind review?" Zhao Xu looked at General Xu, smiled slightly, and asked.

Zhao Xu listened to Wu Zhi's advice and learned to meditate and practice boxing with Wu Zhi for more than nine months, and now his body has become better and better, his strength is good, and his spirit is more sufficient. It stands to reason that this is a great achievement, and it should be rewarded, but in order to take care of the face of the Queen Mother, he not only did not reward others, but also demoted people out of the capital, which is really a bit of revenge, even if he is ruthless and iron-blooded, he can't help but blush a little and feel empty.

"Wu Zhi?" Xu Jiang and Zhang Chun didn't expect that the official family invited them to the imperial study to ask about Wu Zhi, and the two of them were stunned for a moment when they heard this, and then they reacted, and Zhang Chun then looked at Xu Jiang. After Xu Jiang pondered for a moment, he hurriedly continued: "Back to Your Majesty, it is said that the reputation is good, not only is it loved by the people, but also its political achievements are very good, and it is rare to be politically fluent!"

These are the results of the officials who have been paying attention to the political arena of Weishi County! And Xu will be the secretary of the ministry, and he knows these situations best.

Originally, when Wu Zhi went to Weishi County to take up the post of magistrate, the officials of the Ministry of Officials all regarded it with the mentality of watching the excitement and gloating, and everyone was speculating how long it would take for this Wu Zhi to be driven out of Weishi County. But who knows, more than half a year has passed, not only have people not been driven away, but they have lived a good life in Weishi County, not only the official reputation has risen sharply, but also in the eyes of the people and the county officials, big and small, are well-known, and the political performance is also good, Weishi County is under his leadership, was governed in an orderly manner, with a new look. All of this made the officials of the Ministry of Officials stunned one after another, shouting that they couldn't understand it, couldn't guess it, and were puzzled!

"Oh, is that really the case?" Zhao Xu was also surprised when he heard this, looked at Zhang Chun, and asked in a deep voice.

"Back to Your Majesty, it's true!" Zhang Chun stroked his beard and nodded with a smile. His heart was also amazed.

Some time ago, when Zhang Chun was chatting with Xu Jiang, when he heard Wu Zhi's performance from Xu Jiang's mouth, he was also surprised and surprised, such a headache made this young champion Lang so easy to do? ! He was a little incredulous.

"It's worthy of being the champion!" Zhao Xu listened to it, smiled happily, and sighed.

Zhang Chun, Xu Jiang and Hao Sui, who was standing next to him, heard his exclamation, and the three of them couldn't help but look at each other. They finally understood that this also very young official family was thoughtful, and he would never be untargeted for no reason, it was estimated that he was going to move Wu Zhi and give him a promotion and appointment!

Sure enough, when the three of them were still wandering in the world, they heard Zhao Xu's words ringing in their ears again: "The talent of the champion should not be wasted in such a small place. Zhang Qing's family, Xu Qing's family, let's talk about it, how to promote and appoint Wu Qing's family, so that people can make the best use of their talents and materials? ”

"This ......"

"This ......"

Zhang Chun and Xu Jiang were simmering, unable to make up their minds. They knew the real reason for the depreciation of Wu Shu, which offended the Xiang family and the Empress Dowager Xiang, and they couldn't figure out the thoughts of the official Zhao Xu for a while, and they didn't dare to make assertions.

"Your Majesty is wise, it is all up to Your Majesty to decide, and Weichen will definitely do it!" Xu Jiang was still clever and kicked the ball to Zhao Xu again.

Zhang Chun also nodded again and again when he heard this.

"These two old slippery heads!" Zhao Xu couldn't help but curse secretly in his heart, and, I will suffer the sins I did myself?

"Then promote Wu Zhi to Feng Zhilang and serve as the judge of the left hall of Kaifeng Mansion, and take office immediately after the New Year. Do you think it's okay?" After Zhao Xu pondered for a moment, he made up his mind and said with a full heart.

When Zhang Chun and Xu Jiang heard this, the two of them were shocked and shocked: "This promotion is a bit big, from the small county order of the eighth grade to the Beijing official of the sixth grade, and it has been promoted to three levels in a row!"

Hao Sui was also shocked and envious in his heart, he was known to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and now he is in his forties and is only the sixth grade, and this Wu Zhi is already a Beijing official from the sixth grade at a young age, this person is more popular than the dead!

"Very good!" "Very good!" Although Zhang Chun and Xu Jiang were fluctuating, they still replied in unison. Because they know in their hearts that this official Zhao Xu seems to be young, but he has a firm mind, and he is a master who will not easily change after making up his mind.

In this way, when Wu Zhi was still wandering leisurely in Weishi County, happily celebrating the Spring Festival with everyone, his fate was changed again in Zhao Xu's thoughts.

Wu Zhi was very envious of the officials of the Song Dynasty, this is because when the New Year came, the imperial court acquiesced to the local officials from the day of the New Year that they could take a vacation to go home, and did not go to work until the twentieth day of the first month of the fifth year of Shaosheng, which means that the local officials had nearly 26 days of vacation during the Spring Festival, and the officials in the capital had nearly 22 days of vacation, which was unimaginable in later generations! This kind of benefit makes Wu Zhi envious and very happy, because he happens to be one of the members of it, and he can also sit back and enjoy it.

Before the new year, Wu Zhi took out more than 2,000 yuan from his family, and gave benefits to all the people in the county government according to the standard of 50 yuan for each large and small official and 20 yuan for each official and Xu official, which was called "Spring Festival condolences money", which made everyone in the county government ecstatic and grateful Mingde. As soon as the New Year passed, except for some people who volunteered to stay in the county office, Wu Zhi waved his pen and approved leave to let everyone go home for the New Year, including himself.

The employees of Caoyun Company and Guihua New Wine Workshop, Wu Zhi paid out of his own pocket to give them red envelopes before Chinese New Year's Eve, except for Meng Da, Li Hongyi, Zhang Xing, Qian Mancang, Chen Shun, Hu Kui, Gan Zilin and Zhang Gui and other nine people's red envelopes for each of them 100 yuan, everyone else gave 30 yuan, everyone was very happy, and also applauded their masters and owners.

Since the champion series of liquor can not be out of stock during the Spring Festival, the Osmanthus New Wine Workshop will start to make wine and stock up on wine as usual, and Wu Zhi has opened double wages to the employees of the Osmanthus New Wine Workshop to ensure normal production. During the Spring Festival, the crew of the Caoyun Company delivered goods to the capital, Wu Zhi also paid twice as much.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, everyone in the family greeted each other for the New Year, and Wu Zhi also gave everyone a red envelope, one hundred yuan per person, which really made everyone in the family happy and satisfied, and the atmosphere of the New Year was very lively and festive, which also greatly weakened Jin Lian's homesickness, and also diluted the sorrow of Li Zhenguo and Si Fangguo, the two young men, who left their hometowns.

During the Spring Festival, the sales of the Zhuangyuan series of liquor also soared, which made Wu Zhi and Zhuangyuanlou make a lot of money again!

After the New Year, on the twenty-first day of the first month of Shaosheng's fifth year, Wu Zhi was about to start drinking tea at the county government again.

On this day, Zhao Xu's edict to promote Wu Zhi to the magistrate of the left hall of Kaifeng Mansion from Liupin made all the civil and military officials in the court and central government in an uproar, shocked, discussed, and speculated, it seems that the official family is indeed favored by this Wu Zhi!

When Xiang Zonghui heard about this, he was also angry, and hurriedly took Xiang Huaiyu to Cide Palace again, and he was very aggrieved and complained bitterly to the Queen Mother. Xiang Empress Dowager's ears were soft, and she found Zhao Xu and asked her, but she was choked by Zhao Xu's report on Wu Zhi's excellent political achievements and Zhao Xu's statement that his light health during this period of time was due to the fact that Wu Zhi taught him fitness exercises, and he didn't dare to blame him again, so he could only return to Cide Palace in a gloomy manner, and scolded Xiang Zonghui and Xiang Huaiyu father and son.

In every dynasty, the body of the Heavenly Family is a major matter related to the society of the country, no matter how arrogant the Queen Mother is, she does not dare to talk about the emperor's health, not to mention that in the past few months, she has indeed witnessed Zhao Xu's body is getting healthier and healthier, and she is still overjoyed. Now that she learned that these were all the credit of that damn Wu Zhi, she suddenly lost the mind to continue to take revenge on Wu Zhi, the body of the heavenly family and Xiang Huaiyu's beating, it was a world of difference, which was more important, she could still carry it! Even if there is merit or not, according to her nature, she still can't do the thing of revenge.

Xiang Zonghui and Xiang Huaiyu were inexplicably scolded by the Empress Dowager Xiang, and were warned not to provoke this Wu Zhi again, which made the father and son very puzzled, depressed and unwilling, as for whether they continued to hold grudges and wanted to retaliate in the future, it is unknown.
