From level six to level three, each level is a big hurdle, and the higher you go, the more difficult it is to climb, like a pyramid, and only a handful of people can reach the top of the pyramid.

Some officials have never reached the position of level 5 or higher in their lifetime.

But right now, there was an incredible scene at the door of the classroom, a third-level official had to stand at the door in order to meet a sixth-level official, which was a rare spectacle in the officialdom of the entire continent.

As the saying goes, the first level of the official is crushing people, let alone the third level.

Two hours passed...

"Oh, Master Li is still here. Qi Tian feigned surprise.

Li Tongwei was speechless in his heart, and knocked on his sour thigh, but he still had a smile on his face, "Well, listening to Lord Qi's lecture is better than reading for ten years!"

Qi Tian smiled "hehe", "Thank you, Lord Li, for the compliment." ”

Then, the two walked outside the school, but Li Tongwei followed Qi Tian like a follower, but Qi Tian looked like a big official...

Today, Huang Xiaoxue did not pester Qi Tian, because she had to lead the whole class to the bamboo forest to practice repeatedly according to Qi Tian's tactical plan.

Of course, Huang Xiaoxue was also a little cautious, when Qi Tian didn't come, Instructor Li was the most powerful teacher of the art of war in the whole school, if she could defeat Instructor Li, she could prove to her parents that she had a talent for fighting, and there was nothing wrong with choosing to enter the officer academy.

As a girl, it was very stressful for her to enter the military academy, and her parents hoped that she could do some financial work in the future, but she admired the war heroes so much that she even dreamed of becoming such a figure one day.

Under her repeated begging, Huang Xiaoxue, who was originally the eldest lady, entered the officer academy and became a female general.

-------

The entrance to the Military Academy.

"Master Qi, is this your legendary car?" Li Tongwei's eyes showed a look of amazement.

Whether in the Xuangu Continent or in modern times, men's or women's love for cars has never changed.

"Oh, the legendary car?" Qi Tian was a little puzzled.

Li Tongwei nodded, "The fourth princess once said in the court that your car, in addition to its cool appearance, is also very fast, the wheels are stable, and it is very comfortable to sit in." ”

"Why did the fourth princess remember to carry my car?" Qi Tian asked curiously.

Even if the fourth princess likes her own wind and fire, she shouldn't say it in the court!

In the final analysis, this kind of thing is just a plaything.

"The fourth princess wants to transform your car into a chariot!" Li Tongwei said.

Qi Tian was stunned, he thought that the fourth princess liked his car, but he didn't expect her to want to transform Fenghuo into a chariot...

"Okay, let's not talk about that, let's get in the car. ”

"Okay, I'll let my carriage follow. ”

After entering the Hot Carriage.

Li Tongwei's amazing look is even heavier...

"Master Li, you took the initiative to come to me this time, could it be that you have already made a decision in your heart?" Qi Tianxiao asked.

Yesterday, he and Li Guowei only reached a preliminary intention to cooperate, and now it is decided whether to really cooperate.

"It's decided, we'll be in the same boat in the future, advance and retreat together!"

"What about the fourth-level officials?"

"Brother Qi, you came to the Procurement Office as the deputy director, the elder brother raised his hands in agreement, but you directly crossed the level from the sixth level to the fourth level, this is a special promotion, not something that I can do as a director. Li Tongwei's face was a little embarrassed.

"Oh, what do you need?"

"According to the current system of the court, if officials above the sixth level are promoted step by step, in the case of vacant positions, the simplest thing is for the prince or princess to make a will.

But it is different for officials above the sixth level to be promoted, not only the prince and the eldest princess do not have this kind of power, but even the emperor does not have this kind of power, this is the iron law since the founding of the Yanyang Empire, in order to prevent someone from abusing their power and promoting their cronies at will. ”

Qi Tian was stunned for a moment, "Then wouldn't it be hopeless for me to be promoted to the fourth level?"

"Not really, it's just very difficult, and it requires two hard conditions.

The first one is very simple, it is the proposal of the leader of this institution, I can solve this, but this second...

It is necessary for the consent of the six directors of Jiuqing, so that they can be promoted beyond the ranks.

According to the current situation in the court, the eldest princess is in charge of four institutions, counting the elder brother and me, there are only five institutions, and one less institution agrees to the promotion of the elder brother. ”

Qi Tian didn't think so much before, thinking that in the era of imperial power, everything was spoken with power, but he never expected that such a corrupt court would have such "serious" regulations.

Li Tongwei saw Qi Tian's embarrassed face, and continued: "The other four departments are firmly in the hands of the prince, and it is impossible to convince them. ”

Qi Tian glanced at him, "This is indeed a problem, but you don't have to worry about it, I'll solve it, you just need to do what you need to do well." ”

Li Tongwei nodded and stopped talking.

Since he has decided to stand in the camp of the eldest princess, he will do his best, otherwise he will not be able to please both sides.

Wind and fire soon came to a city wall in the south of the imperial capital.

The two got out of the car, and Li Tongwei looked at Qi Tian suspiciously, "Brother Qi, what are we doing here, aren't we going to find evidence of Liu Liheng's corruption?"

Qi Tian smiled slightly, "It seems that Brother Li has really been out of the front-line work for too long, and the time for the renovation of this city wall should be the first half of the year, and Liu Liheng is personally responsible for the bidding." ”

Li Tongwei's old face turned red, and he lowered his head and said nothing.

For the number one, the most aggrieved thing is to be overshadowed by his subordinates.

"Oops. Qi Tian suddenly shouted.

Li Tongwei was stunned, thinking that something had happened, "What's the matter, isn't the evidence there?"

Qi Tian shook his head, "I forgot to bring a hammer." ”

Li Tongwei breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that Qi Tian was making a little fuss.

"Don't worry about this, the commercial street is not far from here, I'll just ask someone to buy one." ”

Li Tongwei asked his coachman to go to the commercial street to buy a hammer.

When the hammer was bought, Li Tongwei looked at Qi Tian, "What are we going to do next?"

Qi Tian smiled slightly, "You take a hammer and smash the wall." ”

Li Tongwei was stunned for a moment, and said suspiciously: "Smash... Smash the wall?"

Qi Tian nodded, and at the same time stretched out a finger, pointing to the wall not far away, "Just go there." ”

Li Tongwei took the hammer from his subordinates, and was almost dragged by the weight of the hammer.

He stabilized his figure, and then walked to the bottom of the city wall suspiciously, but he still had some doubts in his heart, "Brother Qi, do you really want to smash the wall?"

"You can rest assured that you can smash it!"

Qi Tian was a little impatient, and said in his heart, "This Li Tongwei is too ink. ’

Li Tongwei held the big hammer in both hands, spit two mouthfuls into his hands, and then lifted the hammer with great effort and smashed it against the wall.

"Bang!"

The rectangular hammer collided with the wall, splashing a cloud of rubble.

"Phew, it's all in my mouth!" Li Tongwei spat on the ground.

"Brother Qi, what are you going to do next?"

“...”

"Brother Qi?"

Li Tongwei saw that he did not return to the camp behind him, so he turned around, but saw Qi Tian looking at him with a smile on his face.

"Brother Qi, what does this mean?"

Qi Tian didn't speak, but instead mouthed Nunu at the wall.

Li Tongwei looked at the wall suspiciously, and said in his heart, "The wall is nothing, but it's just a pit, and there is some muck around." ’

Suddenly, his eyes suddenly widened, and he looked at the wall that had been smashed out of a small pit by himself in shock, "Muck, the muck used for the city wall, and the courage is too great! I dare to cut corners in the military defense project! Liu Liheng, this time I want to let you go!"

His voice was very loud, and the people passing by around him looked sideways.

Some people who know how to work in civil engineering are immediately surprised when they see the muck under the skin of the wall.

"The walls are actually made of muck!"

"These businessmen are too bold, they cut corners in military defense projects, but they want to exterminate the Nine Clans!"

"Yes, no wonder other empires say that if they fight our empire, they will fight it, with the wall of muck, the boulder will shatter when it is smashed!"

.........

The people stood under the city walls and shouted indignantly.

The muck contains a lot of gravel and sediment, and it is okay to pave the road or repair the courtyard of the people's houses on weekdays, but it is absolutely impossible to build the city wall.

Because the gravel in the muck will affect the solidity of the wall, and over time, the muck will loosen, and a large amount of crushed soil will fall with just a few light finger clicks.

"Hahaha..."Li Guowei began to laugh wildly.

He was still a little worried about Liu Liheng's physical recovery, and he would make a comeback with the power of Prime Minister Gao Yuchen, but in this situation, Gao Yuchen was afraid that it would be too late to hide from Liu Liheng!

Although corruption is rampant in the Sunny Empire, no one dares to put this kind of thing on the table, it is a secret that you know and I understand, and everyone doesn't talk about it.

In the laws and regulations of the empire, the punishment for corruption is very severe, especially for corruption in military defense.

It's like the Li family in Yunhai City before, because they didn't hand over the goods of the military supplies order required by the country on time, they were finally beheaded all over the house.

"Brother Qi!" Li Guowei rushed to Qi Tian, "This Liu Liheng is really bold, he dares to do something in the military defense project, this time he is not satisfied with the door, it is simply unreasonable!"

"Hehe, there are many more of this kind of tofu scum project, in the future, my brother will really control the procurement house, and it is estimated that there will be more renovation projects, don't make the same mistake as Liu Liheng." Qi Tian smiled.

Li Guowei immediately swore to express his position, "Don't worry, brother, I, Li Guowei, swear that if I dare to be corrupt in military defense projects or procurement, I will not die a good death!"

Qi Tian smiled and nodded, "That's right, how much money you can earn is a lot, it's almost enough." ”

Li Guowei smiled "haha", revealing a "I understand" expression.

"Brother, tell my brother a few more places like this, Liu Liheng, this bastard, must not only cut corners here, I want to find out all the tofu scum projects hidden in the imperial capital city at once!

Make the Imperial Capital City a truly impregnable and impregnable city. Li Guowei's face was full of righteousness and awe.

But in Qi Tian's eyes, Li Guowei's acting was very clumsy, so he quipped: "In this way, my brother can be regarded as catching corrupt officials for the imperial court and investigating the tofu scum project, and has made two great contributions."

Then, my brother will be commissioned to rebuild these tofu scum projects, which is really beautiful!"

Li Guowei's old face turned red, and he smiled dryly: "Brother, don't make fun of my brother." ”

Qi Tian didn't tease Li Guowei anymore, he found a piece of rice paper and pen and ink in the wind and fire, and wrote nearly 100 places in detail.

Li Guowei looked at the dense rice paper, his small eyes were wide open, he never expected that there were so many tofu slag projects in the imperial capital, nearly a hundred!

"Alright. Qi Tian threw down the brush and shook his somewhat sore hand.

"This Liu Liheng, beheading him hundreds of times is not enough to make the people angry! This is simply big greed, huge greed!" Li Guowei's hands trembled as he picked up the rice paper.

Qi Tian smiled secretly in his heart, "If you see tens of millions of gold coins in Liu Liheng's private mansion, as well as countless rare treasures, your eyes will jump out of your eye frame in fright. ’

"Come on, immediately go and ask Qi Zaiqing from the Prison Minister's Office, Supervisor Qi is here, I want to report Liu Liheng, a super corrupt official!" Li Guowei shouted.

"Obey the order, the little one will go and ask for Supervisor Qi immediately. ”

Qi Tian raised his eyebrows, and said in his heart, "Isn't Qi Zaiqing his own big brother?

"Brother, thank you so much. Li Guowei thanked him vigorously.

Qi Tian smiled, "You're welcome, since my business has been done, let's go first." ”

Li Guowei personally sent Qi Tian to the wind and fire, "When will the elder brother be ready over there, the elder brother will obey orders at any time here!"

He has now unconsciously looked at Qi Tian's head, and now he admires Qi Tian in his heart.

Qi Tian nodded and got into the carriage.

Originally, he wanted to see Qi Zaiqing and leave again, but thinking of his embarrassing political position at the moment, he rejected this idea, maybe the two brothers would cause a lot of unnecessary trouble if they met.

"Bingfeng, let's go to the noodle restaurant, I'm hungry after a busy meal. ”

Then, the wind and fire drove towards the "charming noodle shop".

From this moment on, many people in the imperial capital city saw an old man who was nearly sixty years old, but full of energy, carrying a big hammer on his shoulder, beating back and forth on various buildings and city walls in the city, followed by a large group of people.

If it is a person in the officialdom, he will recognize these two groups, one of which is the Supervisory Office and the other is the Procurement Office.

As Li Guowei carried a sledgehammer to smash the tofu slag project everywhere, the hearts of many court officials seemed to have been hit by a sledgehammer and they couldn't sleep all night.

Many of them, taking advantage of the relationship between officials and interests of the same dynasty, asked Liu Liheng for engineering projects.

Now that Liu Liheng is completely finished, no one can say whether they will be implicated, they all pray in their hearts that the prison office will not find out about themselves.

--------

Fenghuo came to Taiping Street, and the speed suddenly slowed down.

Qi Tian lifted the curtain and saw a long queue on the side of the street on both sides.

"Bingfeng, what are they lining up for?"

"Eat noodles. ”
