If you want to be idle and not disturbed, becoming an official in the Song Dynasty would be a very enjoyable life.

Of course, there are several premises: civil servants who are prefect and above, who are from Jinshi, are excluded from political enemies and do nothing.

In fact, in the Song Dynasty, few magistrates would take charge of government affairs in the prefecture, and they were usually busy with the magistrates. Therefore, in the Song Dynasty, most civil officials who were born in Jinshi had to experience the magistrate's resume because this was the most important experience of being familiar with local affairs. Generally speaking, after the magistrate level officials arrived at the local area, they would do one or two things, such as clearing rivers, building academies, and after doing this, they could do whatever they wanted for three years. This is called making political achievements.

As for the matter of working hard to manage things, it is not just that there are no one, but a very small number.

The Analects of Confucius has long talked about the way to be an official: read more and talk less, and do things with caution. This is the way to be an official. For two thousand years, officials who abide by this rule of officialdom may not necessarily be brilliant, but it is not difficult to achieve steady progress.

Thinking about the fact that Zhizhou is unwilling to manage civil affairs, how could a high-ranking official like Lu Huiqing take on the work of a craftsman and go out for Li Kui?

The Xuanfu Envoy's yamen general was in Yan'an Prefecture, and then the army cooperated, and then went down one by one. What Li Kui couldn't understand was that Gongsun Sheng was the important responsibility of supervising the cannon. The reason why Lu Huiqing patted Li Kui on his chest and said that he would prepare everything for Li Kui was because Li Kui was the Tanhua of the Jiaxu Department of Shaosheng, an elite in the group of serious civil servants, and this was the boss's verbal promise. But such a promise was actually useless.

Gongsun Sheng was in a bad mood. He was forced to receive the military order, which only took ten days. He and the craftsmen studied the materials of the artillery and finally concluded that it was not enough to melt copper coins alone, and it was necessary to melt fine copper to meet the requirements.

The whole city collected Luo coins. If the Shaosheng Nian did not succeed, there was too much lead, and the Jiayou Nian had to be used to make coins. The copper ratio of copper in different years was different. The copper coins in Renzong were the best because of the high copper content. However, it was not done during the Shenzong period.

Fortunately, the Song Dynasty lacked nothing and could not make money, so it was easy to get enough money. However, it was difficult to make fine copper. Now it was impossible to mobilize it from the Central Plains, so I could only find a way in the Fushi City.

Li Kui was busy urging Gao Qiu to train artillery soldiers, but at first he didn't find out who would supervise the artillery building work. When Gongsun Sheng found him, Gongsun Sheng did not seek him to coordinate the artillery matter with him, but this guy was in trouble and wanted to find Li Kui to settle it.

"You mean you are pretending to be a public service for personal gain..." Li Kui stared at Gongsun Sheng with a bad look. The world is so conscience that Gongsun Sheng even complained about himself. He was so busy that he didn't even have the time to eat and go to the cottage. What's the mood to be a public service for personal gain?

Gongsun Sheng said in grief and anger: "Sir, this is a rumor. I work hard for the Song Dynasty. How dare I pretend to be the public and help my private affairs? Besides, I have left behind the white notes from Xuanfu Department, and have also read all the official documents of Xuanfu Envoy to Puji Temple. It is not a fake for the public and to help my private affairs. It is obvious that the monks refuse to serve the country and have to take advantage of the situation. Sir, the villain suspects that the monks from Puji Temple have an affair with Xixia."

You, a Taoist priest, ran to the monk temple and confiscated their magic weapons. When you were about to stop, you confiscated the bells in the temple, saying that you would cast weapons to deal with Xixia.

If Gongsun Sheng had not worn a Taoist robe or a whisk, everything would be easy to say.

The key is that you are a Taoist priest who goes to another temple to smash a place. Can the monk endure this tone?

When Buddhism and Taoism fight, it is like fighting with cats and dogs. There is no reason, but it just doesn't like the other person. Li Kui thought that he could not interfere with this matter and said, "Why don't you go to find Mr. Lu?"

Lu Huiqing is the highest military and political chief on Fuyan Road. He can still manage this kind of dispute involving Taoist priests and monks. As for Li Kui?

Forget it, he can't control anything at his current official position. It's within his responsibilities to catch a spy fugitive, but if he adjusts the dispute between monks and Taoists, he doesn't think he has such a face.

Unexpectedly, Gongsun Sheng did not leave, lowered his head, gritted his teeth and said, "Lord Lu believes in Buddhism!"

That desperate look once made Li Kui wonder whether this guy would secretly drug Lu Huiqing and kill this guy who had rebelled against the great god Haotian.

Even if Gongsun Sheng retreated, Li Kui didn't think he had a reason to intervene and help. He looked around and said, "Didn't you see me busy?"

Busy recruiting senior servants?

Gongsun Sheng may not have much feelings about the word "high-end". However, he has a deep understanding of Li Kui's boldness, and of course he also despises Li Kui's character. What a high-level servant, to put it bluntly, is the gray on the battlefield. Others don't know it, can Gongsun Sheng still guess? Li Kui may have to go to the battlefield in a few days, but Cheng Zhijie can't count on it. Although this person is a disciple, if he is placed on the battlefield, even Gongsun Sheng, who is Cheng Zhijie's dog-legged, may have to choose one of the two ways of pretending to be dead and running away.

Others don’t know Gao Qiu’s ability, can Gongsun Sheng not know?

This is a great Cuju god, a cute pet on the battlefield.

In the end, all the commands before the battle will fall on Li Kui. At this time, Li Kui recruits high-level servants, definitely not really need servants, but chooses a few powerful young men from Kong Wu and fools them to go to the battlefield to die.

Apart from this, he couldn't think of any other possibility. When he fooled people, Gongsun Sheng felt that he was competent and volunteered to say, "A villain can serve the adults."

This kid is relying on him, and Li Kui thought of this.

While he was struggling, Ruan Xiaoer ran back and shouted, "Young Master, the fight started at the door."

"The fight started?" Li Kui raised his eyes and asked Ruan Xiaoer: "Who fights with whom?"

"The monk who blocked the door with two rash men didn't know why this monk offended the two of them, but Young Master, I think these two are very suitable for servants." Ruan Xiaoer gestured happily, as if after Li Kui recruited people around him, he could be promoted to the captain of the servants.

Lying on the wall, he found that Gongsun Sheng had already found a good place. Li Kui said with contempt: "There is no courage!"

Outside the yard, two reckless men punched and kicked a monk, but the monk did not beg for mercy. Instead, he hugged his head and shouted: "Don't be angry, I heard from the Sa family that you are really an unfaithful fate in your previous life and your mortal enemy in this life. If you do not convert to my Buddha and use my Buddha's supreme Dharma to resolve the resentment in your heart, you will definitely not die. The monk is for your own good."

After all, they were fighting monks, but they were just monks who were ungrateful, and the two strong men did not dare to use force.

The monk Li Kui had known him for a long time, and he was the great monk from Puji Temple. He came to him to block the door and complain. Li Kui didn't dare to pay attention to him. He was afraid that he could not talk about the monk. Using force would only intensify the conflict more and more.

"The tall man has a solid skill in punching and kicking, especially his downward movement, is a good player."

Ruan Xiaoer's eyes lit up: "It's a pity that the short and fat man has brute force, but he has no foundation in kung fu. When he swung his fists, he was floating. Unfortunately, his strength was useless and the right place."

Lu Qian also pretended to look at him. He didn't like this bad habit of climbing the wall and peeking, but the problem is that even Li Kui liked it. What reason does he have not liked it?

Even if he pretended, Lu Qian did not dare to show that his pursuit was higher than that of Li Kui.

Lu Qian hesitated and said, "That strong man is not short, right? The main reason is that one of them is too tall and has a good strength. You don't need to be a master in the army. Besides, Lord Li said that it is just a few available people who are temporarily recruited, and they may not be left behind."

Ruan Xiaoer turned his head and looked up and down for a while, nodded and said, "You are right, it's not shorter than you."

Lu Qian's height is not satisfactory, and there is nothing he can do. If he is tall and big, he wouldn't have majored in the imperial boxing gym. However, his height was despised by Ruan Xiaoer, who was shorter than him. Lu Qian was really a little difficult to accept, so he defended himself in a vain: "The Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic says that a man's height will grow to twenty-eight years old. In the 47th year, I still have about eight or nine years to grow taller."

If the explanation is useful, why are there so many people in the world who do not listen to advice?

Ruan Xiaoer sneered: "A tiny grows a year and a half foot grows a year and a half foot grows a year. I've grown more than half foot this year. Where are you?"

The oldest son, Ruan Xiaoer, is at the age of a big man, and he has grown taller during these days. Lu Qian said in a sloppy manner, turned his head and closed his eyes to heal the scars in his heart. He secretly decided in his heart that he would never talk to Ruan Xiaoer in this life.

Seeing that it was almost done, Li Kui came down from the wall and went out to stop: "Stop!"

The two strong men stopped the fists in their hands. What was amazing was that the monk was actually unscathed, got up from the ground, easily patted the dust on his body, and shouted the Buddha's name: "Amitabha, monk Zhiqing, have seen the master."

Monk Zhiqing?

Li Kui didn't care about the monk's name either. What surprised him was that Monk Zhiqing got up from the ground like nothing happened, and he didn't look like he was beaten for a long time by two reckless men. This calm look made Li Kui guess in his heart, what is the origin of this monk? He couldn't have practiced the Vajra Indestructible Magic Art, right?

As for whether he had this skill, Li Kui didn't know, but Monk Zhiqing seemed to attach great importance to Li Kui and explained: "I just know some external kung fu's life-saving skills, which is not as extraordinary and strange as an adult." While speaking, Monk Zhizhen twisted his fingers seriously, and suddenly his face changed, and he exclaimed: "It's weird, really weird. The sky-killing star changes his fate, and he has a very heavy evil spirit."

Others seemed to think that the old monk was pedantic and offended the civil servant Li Kui as soon as he opened his mouth.

But Li Kui's heart skipped a beat. Tianshaxing, isn't this what he meant by himself? But the question is, what is the 108 generals in Liangshan, and there is still no trace at this time. Suddenly someone asked him about it, he suddenly felt nervous about being pointed out. Li Kui pretended to be careless and smiled: "Master, have you seen something?"

"The monk has been drinking porridge recently, and his chest is pressed against his back. He may be dazzled!"

Looking at Monk Zhizhen's shiny forehead, Li Kui suddenly remembered, isn't Monk Zhiqing the abbot of the Tokyo Daxiangguo Temple?

He also has a senior brother, Monk Zhizhen from Wenshu Temple in Mount Wutai?

Thinking of this, Li Kui is not only a big deal, but these monks really have magic power, right?

However, Li Kui still endured it and brought Gongsun Sheng. When the two met, they immediately met. They were extremely jealous. Monk Zhiqing pointed at Gongsun Sheng's nose and cursed: "The thief said, I am not at ease. My Buddha and your real person do not violate the well water, why can't I get along with my Buddha? If you don't tell me today that Chou Yin comes, the monk and you Taoist priest will never die."

When Li Kui discovered that Monk Zhiqing had not recognized Gongsun Sheng, he felt much more relieved.

He took the monk to drink tea and asked someone to prepare a table of vegetarian dishes.

Monk Zhiqing sighed: "I don't know that my Puji Temple was originally not incense. Now the monks in the temple can only drink porridge to live. Unexpectedly, the shameless Taoist priest stole the magic weapon from my temple and kidnapped the big bell in the bell tower in the temple. The thief was extremely sinister."

"Fushi is not a small town, why is it difficult to make a living in the master's temple?"

Li Kui's concern was not like a fake, which made Monk Zhiqing's anger go a lot. Puji Temple was built in the Tang Dynasty and was once glorious. The temple had a temple and produced nearly 10,000 mu of farmland. It is logical that life should not be so difficult. But who made Yan'an Prefecture suddenly become a severely affected area for the battle between the Song Dynasty and the Western Xia? The farmland outside the city of Fushi was gradually abandoned because it could not be hired for farmers to cultivate.

Although Fushi is the prefecture of Yan'an Prefecture, it is actually a military town.

In addition to fighting against the Han, there are also civil servants who are in labor service. The former has the financial resources for consumption and donation, but the problem is that military servants are not good men and women, and they do not believe in Buddhism at all. The latter is quite pious and willing to believe in the effectiveness of the Buddha. However, the problem is that civil servants are all poor and do not have the ability to donate to the temple, but they even need to help the temple from time to time.

The more Li Kui heard, the more he felt that the monk was making trouble, and the real thing to escape! However, this monk was also a ruthless person, and he didn't want to say anything and was ready to leave.

Li Kui hesitated and said, "I wonder where the master is?"

Monk Zhiqing sighed: "People outside the world only want a place to settle down. It's really not possible. They can only surrender to my senior brother Zhizhen. It's not a big deal to say that Dangxiang's wolf ambitions have endangered my border with the Song Dynasty for decades. Now everyone in Yan'an Prefecture is a grudge against Dangxiang. It's understandable that Buddhism needs to contribute during the war. However, the temple is decayed, and the Buddha statues have been damaged. Now all the magic tools are lost and they are powerless to maintain. Alas..."

If Monk Zhiqing made a big fuss, Li Kui really wouldn't pay attention to him. But the problem is that this monk said pitiful. If Li Kui still cared about it, it would be unreasonable.

"I don't know where Master Zhizhen is?"

"Wutai Mountain Wenshu Temple."

Monk Zhiqing sighed: "My senior brother has just been promoted to abbot now, so I can still make the decision to take in a few of us."

"really."

Li Kui really didn't expect to meet Monk Zhizhen in Yan'an Prefecture, but this monk is not simple, and his kung fu may be unfathomable. He thought for a while and thought it was good to make a good relationship, so he spoke, "My father-in-law is the Grand Master of the current dynasty, and he is a Buddha. I will write a book for you. I wonder if the master is willing to go to the capital to try his luck?"

"Thank you, sir, the little monk is willing to go." Monk Zhiqing did not hesitate at all, just waiting for Li Kui to say this.

Li Kui was funny and wrote a letter of recommendation to Monk Zhiqing and handed it to the old man.

Monk Zhiqing left with great gratitude, leaving two rash men looking at each other, not knowing what they would encounter.

Li Kui raised his hand and pointed at the tall man and said, "Are you here to apply for a senior servant?"

"That's right." The two of them said in unison.

"Do you know why the reward is so generous?"

"After fighting, some people always feel that the matter is not their own, but they don't think they can escape, have money, and kill the thief in Dangxiang. Where can I find this good thing?"

"The same is true for villains."

The other party was very strong, especially the tall man. Li Kui immediately decided to accept them and nodded, "Since that's the case, you can stay. Let me introduce myself, start with you."

"The villain Zheng Tu, I learned to kill pigs before, and I had some strength and learned some superficial skills, but I was not as good as an expert in the skills." The short and fat man was not nervous and said in a calm tone, but the eyes looked at Li Kui were a little erratic, as if it was difficult to figure out.

The tall man spoke a little heavier nasal voice, and he looked a little muffled. Before he could speak, he laughed: "I am a rough man. My family used to be a military household. I have no other hobbies. It doesn't matter if I have wine and meat and don't pay. By the way, my name is Luda."

It’s okay for Zheng Tu, Lu Da?

You a reckless man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, do you know that you beat your uncle with a bad guy just now?
