…

Sun Li, Xie Zhen, Xie Bao, Zou Yuan, Zou Run, Sun Xin, Gu Sister-in-law, Le He and their families have seen Jiang Hongfei.

The heroes of Liangshan played the drum and played the flute, and all the heroes who came from Dengzhou to vote took the sedan chair to meet the village.

Jiang Hongfei set up a banquet to wait, and a group of new and old Liangshan heroes bragged about eating wine, which was not a problem.

Early the next morning, Jiang Hongfei sent someone to call Le He, Sun Xin, and Gu Sister-in-law to the ear room on the left side of the Juyi Hall, which is where Jiang Hongfei usually handles official business.

Here, in addition to seeing Jiang Hongfei, Le He and the three of them also met Sun Jing and Zhu Wu, as well as a young woman who they had not seen yesterday with the appearance of a sinking fish and a falling goose.

Sun Xin and Gu Sister-in-law didn't know who this beautiful young woman was, but Le He guessed that she should be Jiang Hongfei's concubine and the third military teacher daughter of Shuibo Liangshan, Zhuge Liu Huiniang.

After the three of them came in, Jiang Hongfei went straight to the point and said: "We have discussed it and taught you and your wife to go to the capital to open a restaurant." ”

Listening to Jiang Hongfei's arrangements for them, Sun Xin and Sister-in-law Gu couldn't help but beat the drum in their hearts: "Go to the capital to open a restaurant?" Can I do it as a couple? ”

It's no wonder that Sun Xin and Sister-in-law Gu are weak-hearted.

In fact, although Sun Xin and Sister-in-law Gu also did this before, how can they open a small rural hotel compared with a big restaurant in the capital, these two are not at the same level at all, and they should not even be compared together at all.

In addition, Sun Xin and Sister-in-law Gu had just committed a major prison robbery case in Dengzhou, so they turned around and went to the capital to open a big restaurant, is it too arrogant and rampant?

Seeing Sun Xin and Gu's sister-in-law's worries, Jiang Hongfei smiled and said to them: "You just go to that restaurant and do the tasks I gave you, and there will be professional people to do the operation and management of the restaurant, so you don't have to bother with it." ”

Zhu Wu helped Jiang Hongfei explain: "Although there is a shortage of talents next to Liangshan Mountain, there are a lot of talents who open hotels, and I won't teach you to worry about these little things." ”

Sun Jing said: "You don't have to worry about that case, the people of Jingshi will never pay attention to a small case that happened in remote Dengzhou, and Kaifeng Mansion will not post your sea fishing documents, and the owner of the village has already sent someone to get you a new identity, from now on, you will no longer be sinners." ”

Hearing what Zhu Wu and Sun Jing said, Sun Xin and Sister-in-law Gu were relieved.

Jiang Hongfei went on to say:

"Your first task is to find out the news."

"Jingshi is the center of the Zhao and Song Dynasty, and it must gather news from all over the world, and pass back the news you have collected in every detail, as for whether it is useful or not, you don't care, it is our business."

"I have sent people to rebel against some officials and eunuchs who have access to important news, they have their own messaging channels, but if there is a problem with their messaging channels, they may ask you to help them pass the news back, but this is a backup method that will only be used as a last resort, you can know that there is such a thing, and most of you will not need to do this."

"Remember, finding out the news is only your secondary task, just do what you can, you don't have to force it, you can also completely hand it over to the person who went to Beijing with you, that is, the person of Zhu Guixian's brother."

Hearing Jiang Hongfei say this, Sun Xin and Sister-in-law Gu were a little puzzled, since they didn't need to open a restaurant and collect intelligence, what did they let them do in the capital?

Zhu Wu, who guessed the thoughts of Sun Xin and Gu's sister-in-law, explained to them: "What my brother means is that although Zhu Guixian's brother can do these two things, all the things in Beijing are up to you to dispatch and manage, including Zhu Guixian's brother in Beijing, and you are also responsible for scheduling and managing." Teach you to go to the capital to open a restaurant, mainly to teach you to be responsible for two other things, and the other two things need to be covered up by the identity of the restaurant owner. ”

Sun Xin and Sister-in-law Gu suddenly realized what Jiang Hongfei meant.

At the same time, Sun Xin and Gu sister-in-law also figured out that they would be the heads of the Shuibo Liangshan Beijing Office.

This made Sun Xin and Gu Sister-in-law feel that Jiang Hongfei valued and valued their couple, and then, like other heroes in Liangshan in Dengzhou, felt that they had come to Liangshan to throw water into Liangshan.

Seeing that Sun Xin and Sister-in-law Gu understood, Jiang Hongfei continued: "Your second task is to recruit talents for me Shuibo Liangshan......

At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, there were only more than 200 officials in the Zhao and Song dynasties;

By the time of Song Zhenzong, there were more than 10,000 officials in the Zhao and Song dynasties;

By the time of Song Renzong, the number had doubled to more than 20,000;

By the time of Song Yingzong, it had increased by more than 4,000 people, reaching more than 24,000 people;

During the Song Dynasty, Wang Anshi's reform was implemented to reform officials, and the overall number of officials dropped by more than 3,000 to more than 21,000;

But by the time of Song Zhezong, the number of officials began to increase by more than 10,000, reaching more than 31,000;

This number has now reached its peak, with more than 48,000 people.

And this is only officials, if the officials are also counted, the total number of officials in the Zhao and Song Dynasty is as high as 500,000!

Due to the increasing number of officials in the Zhao and Song dynasties, and the limited actual positions and work content of the Zhao and Song dynasties, many of these officials in the Zhao and Song dynasties became fictitious.

As described in "History of the Song Dynasty: Career Officials": "Those who live in their officials and do not know their duties are often eight or nine times out of ten." ”

That is to say, there are eight or nine out of ten people who occupy official positions but have nothing to do all day.

There are so many officials in the Zhao and Song Dynasty who have no work to do, and there must be many who are depressed.

There are many such people who are in Bianliang City, they either become private school teachers, or continue to study hard, or serve as staff members for officials and even eunuchs, and some simply hang out in various restaurants and teahouses every day, talking loudly, looking forward to getting the appreciation of a powerful person, and then getting the opportunity to become a leader.

Jiang Hongfei asked Sun Xin and Gu's sister-in-law to pick some talented, ambitious, and dissatisfied with the Zhao and Song courts, and recruited them to Shuibo Liangshan.

In addition, the Taixue of the Song Dynasty formed a relatively complete set of academic system.

-- Tai students are recruited not only from the children of high-ranking officials and magnates, but also from the children of officials below the eighth rank and the outstanding children of commoners.

And now, Song Huizong and Cai Jing have simply canceled the imperial examination, and they have run Taixue and replaced the imperial examination with Taixue.

In the first year of Chongning of Huizong of the Song Dynasty, he created Biyong in the south of the city, with a total of 3,800 disciples, including 200 people in the upper house, 600 people in the inner house, who were educated in Taixue, and 3,000 people who were born in the outer house, who were educated in Biyong.

Moreover, a large number of Tai students graduate and recruit a large number of Tai students every year.

So that now there is a flood of students, and a large number of students are not officials, and even if they want to be a small official, they can only gather in Bianliang City, Tokyo, to run officials and fight together.

These students are also the targets of Shuibo Liangshan's recruitment.

Hearing Jiang Hongfei say that they were going to pick officials, students and other literati for Shuibo Liangshan, Sun Xin and Gu's sister-in-law were even more empty-hearted, and they couldn't help but think together: "My husband and wife don't even know a few words, isn't it a bit too child's play to do such a big thing?" ”

Seeing that Sun Xin and Gu's sister-in-law lacked confidence, Jiang Hongfei said with a smile: "When you go back, Brother Wang Lunxian will arrange for Cao's people to enter Beijing with you, and they will give you suggestions, in addition, you are only a primary election, and in the end, it will be decided by Le and Brother Xian whether to recruit or not, you are not the first link, nor the last link, don't worry." ”

Sun Xin and Gu's sister-in-law had a little reminiscence, not so much that Jiang Hongfei let them and his wife be in charge of the Beijing Office, in fact, Jiang Hongfei let Lehe be in charge of the Beijing Office, and it was only because they could better cooperate with Lehe that Jiang Hongfei asked them to go to the capital to open a restaurant.

Really!

Jiang Hongfei's following words confirmed Sun Xin and Gu's sister-in-law's speculation.

"Your third task is to assist Le and Brother Xian to do whatever he wants, listen to his command, and deliver news to him."

"This ......"

Although Sun Xin and Sister-in-law Gu had already guessed this possibility, they were still shocked to the point of being shocked when they really heard this coming out of Jiang Hongfei's mouth.

Be.

Le He is very smart and clever, and all kinds of music will be learned, and he knows the beginning and the end of his work.

However, in the final analysis, Le He was only a prisoner in Dengzhou Mansion before, a small prison, and this was a position that was only obtained through the relationship of Tuosun Li.

Can such a Lehe be qualified for the position of the top person in charge of the Shuibo Liangshan Beijing Office? !

Jiang Hongfei did not explain to Sun Xin and Gu's sister-in-law why he wanted Lehe to be the top person in charge of the Shuibo Liangshan Beijing Office.

Jiang Hongfei turned his head to Le He and said, "In addition to what I told him and his wife just now, you have other tasks to do. ”

Le He took a deep breath to calm himself down before saying, "Brother, please command." ”

"Those who achieve great things hide in their hearts, do things, and do not seek the public. Not bad. ”

Nodding secretly in his heart, Jiang Hongfei went straight to the point: "After you arrive in the capital, find a way to get to Cai Jing's eldest son Cai You, what you lack, the cottage will provide you with something, as long as you mention it, as long as the cottage can get it." ”

Then, Jiang Hongfei explained this task:

"The most trusted person of Emperor Daojun is Cai You, Cai You can also access all the secrets of the Zhao and Song Dynasty, and Cai You is powerful, and it will get bigger and bigger, if you can get mixed up with him, first, you can hear some important news for my Shuibo Liangshan, and secondly, I Shuibo Liangshan has some personnel transfers in the Zhao Song officialdom, and you need to mediate from it......"

When he ran for Hua Rong before, Jiang Hongfei found out that when he reached a certain level, it was too difficult to start from the local level, and he had to find a way from the power center of the Zhao and Song Dynasty, that is, the Zhao and Song courts.

This is also why it has been so long, Huang Rang is still staying in Guangling Salt, not to mention taking over Murong Yanda as the prefect of Qingzhou, but it is difficult to transfer to the officialdom of Qingzhou.

Therefore, Jiang Hongfei is ready to find a loyal, reliable, improvised, clever, wise and brave character, and go to the capital to run for the heroes of Liangshan.

In addition, as Jiang Hongfei said, if Le He can really successfully break into the side of Cai You, who can even be a privy envoy in the future, it will be too useful to Shuibo Liangshan.

In fact, if Lehe can break into Cai Jing, Tong Guan, Liang Shicheng, Wang Hao, Li Bangyan, and Gao Yu, it can also have the same effect.

But Cai Jing and others are cunning and cunning, and they are far less easy to deal with than Cai You, a fool, so Jiang Hongfei helped Lehe choose Cai You.

Seeing that Jiang Hongfei had made such a big deal and dared to place secret agents next to the emperor's closest people, and also manipulated the officialdom of the Zhao and Song dynasties, Sun Xin and Gu Sister-in-law, two small people who had just come from the countryside, were stunned.

The key is that Jiang Hongfei wants to hand over such a big thing to Lehe to do.

In the eyes of Sun Xin and Gu's sister-in-law, especially the latter, Lehe is still a child who needs to be taken care of.

Therefore, Gu's sister-in-law, who has always been the most righteous, stood up and said: "The owner of the village, this is a big event, Uncle Le He can't do it, why don't you find a good man next to you to do it?" ”

Jiang Hongfei smiled and said to Sister-in-law Gu: "There are many heroes who are willing to do this, so far someone has recommended no less than 20 heroes to me, not long ago Zhu Fuxian's brother came to Mao Sui to recommend himself, but they all taught me to give it or not, because I don't think they can do it." ”

Jiang Hongfei is not lying, Wang Lun and Zhu Gui have really recommended more than 20 people to Jiang Hongfei, and Zhu Fu really took the initiative to find Jiang Hongfei and said that he was willing to do it himself.

High risk equals high reward.

If Wang Lun's people did this, it would make Wang Lun's authority in Shuibo Liangshan even greater; And if Zhu Gui's people do this, it will make Zhu Gui's authority in Shuibo Liangshan even greater.

Therefore, whether it is Wang Lun or Zhu Gui, they are all sincerely recommending their talents to Jiang Hongfei.

But those people, they can't really say that they can't do it, they can only say that Jiang Hongfei is not sure that they can do it, and the matter is big, Jiang Hongfei still wants to find an insurance.

In addition, this is definitely one of the most workout Rakuwa tasks, there is no one.

Jiang Hongfei looked at Le He and said to Sister-in-law Gu: "Sister-in-law, don't underestimate your brother, he is not a mediocre talent who needs your protection, remember my words, one day you will be proud to have this younger brother." ”

Although Jiang Hongfei said this, Sister-in-law Gu was still unwilling to let Lehe take such a big risk.

Seeing this, Zhu Wu reminded Sister-in-law Gu: "Sister-in-law, don't you forget, my brother is famous in the rivers and lakes for his knowledge, and my brother said that if you are happy with your brothers, you will definitely be able to do it." ”

Sister-in-law Gu didn't listen, and wanted to stop Lehe from taking this huge risk, but Ke Lehe asked Jiang Hongfei: "Why did my brother choose me?" ”

"The first time I met you, I told you that you are adaptable, clever, and more affectionate, and you are a material that can be made."

After thinking about it, Jiang Hongfei simply made it clear: "You Dengzhou has eight heroes this time, and the one I am most optimistic about is your iron name Zi Lehe." ”

Speaking of this, Jiang Hongfei looked directly at Le He's eyes, and said: "How can the golden scales be a thing in the pool, in my eyes, you have infinite possibilities......"
