"The horse pistol is a combination of equestrianism and spearmanship, and it is the most difficult of the six martial arts."

Really.

Ning Wuxian guessed that the most difficult thing was the final finale.

He had probably guessed what kind of kung fu the carbine was testing.

At this time, Ning Wujian paused, seeing that his expression became extremely solemn, he couldn't help but smile: "Although it is the most difficult of the six, I think it will be difficult for you, fifth brother." ”

Third brother, you are so optimistic.

Ning Wuxian secretly smiled bitterly: Is this the legendary artist who is bold?

"Third brother, the horse pistol should be used on horseback, right?"

Speaking of which, Ning Wuxian not only felt a little pain in his butt, but also a little pain in his brain.

The memories of the original body finally broke out of the shell and came flooding back.

reminded him of the experience of falling off the horse in order to practice the carbine, and as a result, he had to be beaten by his grandfather every time.

Pain.

It just hurts.

"The carbine is really meant to test the test-taker's skill in using a gun on horseback."

"At that time, on the test site, four humanoid puppets will be placed, lined up in turn, and will kick up sand and dust on the ground, so that the test taker can ride a horse into the venue, only take a gun to pick and stab the puppet, if the other five are excellent, two of them are qualified, if the other five are secondary, more than two are qualified, if the puppet is kicked down by the horse, the number is directly reduced by one."

The carbine can be said to be a test that integrates equestrianism and spearmanship, but also tests the rider's observation, and even brings a little luck in it.

After Ning Wujian finished speaking, he seemed to comfort him and encouraged him: "Fifth brother, don't think it's too difficult, the four puppets will be placed within a radius of ten zhang at that time, as long as you practice diligently and don't let the horses run around, the probability of stabbing three is extremely high." ”

is extremely high.

After listening to the explanation, Ning Wuxian understood what he should do most at the moment.

Practice equestrianism.

"Third brother, how are your equestrians?"

In line with the learning policy of not bothering the two masters in everything, and keeping up with the top students if they want to learn, Ning Wuxian plans to continue to ask the third brother for advice.

I don't think about it.

The third brother smiled ashamedly, and the gun behind him trembled slightly.

"To be honest, my equestrian skills are not necessarily very skillful, you should know the situation before Ningfu, plus my mother asked me to focus on studying literature, if my marksmanship was not personally taught by my grandfather, it would not be possible to have the results I have today."

Poor and rich in martial arts, as the old saying goes, I can't deceive me.

Seeing that it was no longer possible to ask the third brother to help open a small stove for private lessons, Ning Wuxiao could only ask those veterans in the house who were good at riding and archery to help.

However, due to the decrease in the number of cavalry in Daxing every year, and the combination of conscription and hereditary military system, Daxing was implemented.

There is a stipulation in the law: all military members, between the ages of fifteen and fifty, need to serve two years of military service, and the cavalry is almost also inherited from the ancestors, and Jiangnan Province does not belong to the category of training cavalry, and the cavalry mostly comes from Guannei Province and Jinxi Road.

So I searched for a morning.

Ning Wuxian also failed to find a suitable person to teach him equestrianism.

"Look, please pay someone to help."

Money talks.

Anyway, practicing one is also practice, and practicing two is also practice, and the skill of equestrianism, in addition to being used to cope with the martial arts exam, is also more important for actual combat.

Ning Wuxian decided to find someone with superb equestrian skills to teach him and the third brother, so that the third brother's horse project, no matter how difficult the assessment, should be able to get excellent.

You can go one step closer to the champion of martial arts.

However, the ideas are plump and the reality is skinny.

When Ning Wuxian sent someone to the market where horses were sold to inquire about the situation of those who were good at equestrianism, he was very disappointed by the feedback he received.

"No, this horse market can sell more than a dozen good horses a day, but it doesn't have after-sales service, a set of upstream and downstream systems, and is it equipped with equestrian training?"

Ning Wuxian felt that this was simply smearing the signboard of Jiangnan people who were good at business.

The little guy sent to inquire about the news looked confused when he heard it.

What is upstream and downstream? Didn't the fifth prince ask me to ask who knew equestrianism? Doesn't this mean that you want to swim?

"Forget it, I'll ask the others."

The horse seller doesn't know who is good at equestrianism, probably because of the environment of Daxing's emphasis on literature and martial arts, even if he finds someone who can do equestrianism, there is a high probability that he can only let the gentleman pass the six arts, that is, the level of the same as him.

There is a specialization in the art industry.

I have to ask Jiang Yan for help in this matter.

After all, if you want to say where you usually ride a horse for a long time, and it is possible to fight on horseback, in addition to the cavalry, the rest are officers and soldiers or servants.

If the dwarf pulls out the general, he also has to pull one out.

"I'm not digging the foot of the wall, I'm just going to find them a part-time job, Master Jiang should be able to help with this."

Glancing at the sky.

Ning Wuxuan turned around and went to the kitchen.

As the saying goes, take people with short hands and eat people with soft mouths, before going, send Jiang Yan's lunch over, and then go to find someone to do things when Jiang Yan is on a business trip in the afternoon, and it will be a matter of course.

……

Jinling Mansion.

Su Rui, who had just left here for a few days, was called by Jiang Yan in a private message, saying that something big had happened and he needed to make a decision.

The fatigue of rushing overnight had not yet been removed, and when he saw Jiang Yan smiling and looking proud, sitting in front of a large table of dishes eating and drinking, Su Rui almost fell down in anger.

"Okay, Jiang Zhichu, you wrote a letter to me just to invite me to dinner?"

Zhichu is the word of Jiang Yan.

Jiang Yan heard Su Rui call him like this for the first time in a long time, and when he looked up and saw Su Rui with a dark face and bags under his eyes, he asked in surprise: "Now is the time for Jiangnan Province to collect grain taxes, shouldn't Lord Thorn Shi be happy, why do you still look worried?" ”

The land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River.

Even in recent years, when large-scale or small-scale disasters have occurred in other places, Jiangnan has been safe and sound, and the annual grain tax has been steady and progressive.

In the past, Jiang Yan didn't know about the situation in other states and counties, but now he is the governor of Jiangnan Province, in charge of taxes, and the grain tax accounts of various states and counties have passed through his hands, so he naturally knows that Su Rui is not worried about this matter, so he deliberately threw out a topic, gestured to the seat next to him, and motioned for Su Rui to sit down and talk.

"Jiang Zhichu, Jiang Zhichu, I used to ridicule you a few words, you were hard-boned and would directly pick people up, but now you are good at what you can do, and your face is also good."

Su Rui knew that Jiang Yan had something to say to him, and he was hungry, so he took the opportunity to sit down, glanced at the sumptuous meals on the table, and admonished: "I know that your Jiang family is well-off, but your table of dishes is inevitably too eye-catching, didn't you say last time that you donated the money to the wounded soldiers, and you are short of money?" ”

"It's not the money I spent, it's Mr. Ning who sent it."

At the mention of Mr. Ning's three words, Jiang Yan smiled mysteriously and stretched out his hand towards Jiang Yang.

"Brother Su, I invite you to come because I have a good thing for you to see, and I guarantee that after you finish reading, all your worries will be gone."

“……”

Su Rui glanced at Jiang Yan, who would have been happily cocked to the sky if he had a tail, and retorted to him with a smile.

"Isn't it that the grain tax in Jiangnan Province has increased a little, but these are not as good as the next repair of the canals in various states and counties, I have been running around for this matter recently, and after careful calculation, the cost gap is 200,000 taels, and this money will be reported to the imperial court, and it will definitely be stuck again."

"What's so difficult about this, then use Jiangnan Province's own treasury tax to pay this money, and take it from the people for the people."

Jiang Yan said very easily.

Su Rui was almost anxious.

"This tax is a radish and a pit, and every two taels of silver is spent a fixed amount, if you want to save these 200,000 taels, if each state and county is shared equally, you will have to save a few years, Jiang Zhichu, Jiang Zhichu, your idea is indeed an idea, but it is the same as not saying it."
