Chapter 662 New Employee of the Military Bureau
"Brother Yun is really nice to us, but you can see that our brothers are not the kind of people who can enjoy happiness!" Zhu Gui didn't speak, and seemed more cautious. Instead, Zhu Fu complained to Li Kui.
But Li Yun treated him really well. Even if he complained, he had no shame to say that and could only pretend to be pitiful.
Li Kui smiled, very fortunate to gloat at the sight of people being unlucky, and pointed at Zhu Fu and said, "Tell me about your unlucky things and make my second brother happy."
Facing Li Kui's bad taste, Zhu Fu was not angry. He couldn't get angry either. In Yishui County, his once thought the biggest unlucky thing was wandering on the street and hitting Li Kui head-on.
If there is a bigger unlucky thing, it is to bump into Li Kui in a bad mood.
It’s not that Li Kui bullies the weak, but that this guy will be a different person.
When Li Kui is in a good mood, their mood will be very bad. If you want to die, you will not feel that living is a bit unnecessary.
Zhu Fu started to mutter with a bitter face: "Second brother, you know our brothers too. When you were always in Yishui County, our brothers were your admirers. Not to mention the battle of Niubei Mountain, you have always been famous. Even the kind of free and easy way to revenge, it also made our brothers envious."
"Boy, I haven't seen you for a few years, and this mouth is much sweeter than before. There is a saying that you should look at me with admiration for three days, and you can use it as well." Li Kui naturally had no reason to be angry when he was flattered. Especially Zhu Fu, this guy was depressed but still had to accompany him to be careful to flatter him, which was much more pleasing than this guy who was dissatisfied with his neck and was dissatisfied.
Zhu Fu used to be a bad guy and had a bad temper. He was Li Kui's few decompression artifacts in Yishui County.
Now, Li Kui is not as irritable as before, but he magically discovered that Zhu Fu is also improving, and there is an inadvertent surprise.
Zhu Fu said with a bitter face: "Second brother, you look down on others too much. No matter how we say it, we almost become an official!"
"Being an official? You two are you?" Li Kui looked down on the two brothers Zhu Gui and Zhu Fu, but these two brothers have no way, no backing, and even their abilities... are very suspicious.
Zhu Gui is a good at inquiring about the news, but in the Song Dynasty, what is the future of a spy?
Needless to say, the Imperial City Department has been honest and has the conditions for the children of the powerful. As for the Privy Council, it is also a place to raise spies. But this guy doesn’t seem to be the master who can sneak into the Privy Council!
Unless Li Kui helps, it is possible.
However, there are not many official positions in the official position, and they still have to be civil officials. Unless Zhu Gui and Zhu Fu can pass the imperial examination, there will be hope. Otherwise, if there are no elders in the family to be high-ranking officials, they should not expect to become officials.
As for Zhu Fu, it was even more unbearable.
Li Kui didn't even think about what the use of this guy was?
After being ridiculed by Li Kui, Zhu Gui was dissatisfied and whispered: "Second brother, Brother Yun was going to let us study first, and then go to Mengshan Academy to study and go to Mengshan Academy to study. After a few years of study, you will have the opportunity to participate in the martial arts examination. Brother Yun knew that our brothers were not rich, so he sent tuition fees. As long as our brothers obtained the status of a martial Jinshi, Brother Yun was going to let us enter the army for training. Even if it was inconvenient for him, please ask for your help."
"Li Yun is quite loyal." Li Kui felt that he could not be compared by Li Yun. Besides, who would not say beautiful words? He immediately said, "Okay, since there is a good way out, I may not be able to help you anything else, but I will be able to use a lieutenant for you and choose an imperial guard who can make meritorious contributions. My official face can still be achieved."
Suddenly, Li Kui changed his tone and angrily shouted: "Since you have a good future, why do you make friends with bandits and do this business of killing and robbing?"
"Second brother, it's unfair! This is our first time..."
"A bastard, I've been arrested, and I say it's my first time." Li Kui said with a grudge: "I've failed my second brother, what I expect from you?"
Zhu Gui was stunned. When will Li Kui have any expectations for them?
But he was stronger than others, and he was caught by Li Kui, and he didn't dare to refute it. Because Zhu Gui and Zhu Fu both understood one truth. It was useless to hold on to Li Kui, and it would rather die than surrender to make Li Kui happier. Only by admitting his mistakes with a nauseous apology will Li Kui lose interest in bullying.
Of course, this is Li Kui's character when he was young and ignorant. At that time, he enjoyed bullying people all day long. It was the biggest disaster in Yishui County. What's even more terrible is that Li Kui's teacher turned out to be the county magistrate, which was so desperate.
Zhu Fu said depressedly: "Second brother, we also want to study and also want to enter the academy to make progress! But the sutras taught by Master Yan can't even be tested in the academy exam. It must be because he was too deeply speaking. Let's go to the Mengshan Academy and failed the exam."
"Are you two stupid? What can Master Yan teach you?"
Zhu Fu murmured, "Second brother, we two have already studied hard! But Master Yan is very knowledgeable, so we two can't even get tired of it."
Li Kui felt that he had been deceived and was in a bad mood. Even Master Yan couldn't keep up with his teaching, which shows that the two brothers Zhu Gui and Zhu Fu were really not very good at using their brains.
Let’s talk about private school education, teachers teach according to the students’ learning progress, which shows the problem. The two brothers learned yesterday, but forgot today, so they can’t keep up with the ox cart taught by Master Yan.
Li Kui pointed at Zhu Fu and asked, "Where have you all learned?"
"Reply to my second brother, I learned the Analects of Confucius." After saying that, Zhu Fu raised his chest and said proudly.
Li Kui asked again: "Where is Zhu Gui?"
"My brother was sixteen when he entered the private school. He was ashamed to study with a six-year-old boy. He had no shame! He followed me in a daze." Zhu Gui refused to say embarrassedly. When he met a brother who dared to expose his old secrets, he could only threaten with his eyes.
On Jingdong East Road, there are not just those who can be called first-class academies. The Kolai Academy is one of the best academies in the Song Dynasty. With just these two brothers studying, it is impossible to get into a good academies. Although Mengshan Academy has been classified as a martial arts school and is despised by the academy industry, even Mengshan Academy has to train students to write strategies, understand military tactics, and study classics. Students like Zhu Gui and Zhu Fu have never even expected to pass the county exam, and the answer is even more delusional. If the mountain director of Mengshan Academy is not blind, he will not accept anything like this.
Master Yan is also a little famous private school teacher in Yishui County. His private school mainly teaches children. It is said that Master Yan is of high quality. This is the most important portrayal of not being a Jinshi in Yishui County for hundreds of years. Moreover, Master Yan is also Li Yun’s enlightenment teacher. Li Yun has never learned anything before him.
Master Yan’s teaching syllabus is three: "Hundred Family Names", "Thousand Character Text", "The Analects of Confucius"... The Analects of Confucius is still incomplete. He also knows some "Thousand Family Poems", especially poems that are good at encouraging learning.
For example, Emperor Zhenzong's "Poems of Encouraging Learning".
Don't underestimate Emperor Zhenzong's always serious and funny. This late emperor was too superstitious and liked to be a god. He changed his ancestors to his three-legged toad as auspiciousness, and used a lion and dog as a unicorn... The emperor who was deceived by the officials below was really ignorant.
Zhenzong is also very talented, but his talent is covered up by his own funnyness.
For example, "There is a golden house in the book", "There is a beautiful woman in the book", "Don't hate the unscrupulous matchmaker when you get married", these popular quotes come from others.
These sentences are the most popular inspiring poems in the enlightenment education of private schools in the Song Dynasty. Because this poem summarizes the true purpose of reading, to be prosperous, to be beautiful and to study.
Master Yan also knows such poems, and expects Professor Yan's students to enter the Kolai Academy, enter the Imperial Academy, and become a Jinshi. This is not expected. Even Mengshan Academy, which aims to seize the Wu Jinshi as its ultimate goal, cannot accept students taught by Master Yan. If someone with outstanding talents is really good at studying under Master Yan? At most, Master Yan's level is to teach a few accountants.
Mengshan Academy is the place where Jie Qian and Jie Wan brothers study. In fact, this academy cannot be regarded as academy. If it is called Mengshan Martial Arts School, it is more appropriate.
Zhu Gui also explained their experience: "Later, after failing to take the college entrance examination, our brothers felt that they were not ashamed to see Brother Yun, so they thought about doing business and having a living to make a living. But doing business also requires capital. Our brothers were not well-off. They met Yan Shun some time ago, and he said that he helped us prepare for the capital for doing business. And he said that he had done a lot of business before and had a lot of money."
"You are just like you, how dare you do business? Can you count the money clearly?" Li Kui mocked: "This Yan Shun is not a good bird? Why do you listen to him? Besides, this guy can do business and do such unsolicited business?"
"We have never done such a deal, so we can only try it first. Who knows that this guy killed him last time..."
"Brother, stop talking nonsense!"
"Oh, second brother, don't hit me, I was wrong."
After Zhu Fu was kicked by Li Kui, he immediately got up and knelt on the ground in a regular manner.
Li Kui may not know less than Zhu Gui and Zhu Fu. Li Kui thought of the scumbag who can be so greedy, how could this guy develop such a hobby? But now that he is fine, this guy is dead, so he is considered clean. However, Yan Shun should not be alone, he also has subordinates, and he seems to be a copycat leader.
Li Kui pointed to the Zhu brothers and said, "Tell me everything you will know, especially Yan Shun."
"Yan Shun is from Laizhou and has set up a mountain in Qingzhou. I heard that there are not many subordinates. When he came to the second in command some day ago, he had the opportunity to go out for business, but unfortunately he didn't come this time. The two dead men were his capable subordinates. Now he is planning to expand the village, but unfortunately he has no money and wants to go down the mountain to prepare money and grain. He came to our Yizhou to target our snowflake salt. Second brother, we really don't want to sell you, we just knew about this."
Li Kui waved his hand and asked Zhu Gui to continue speaking.
Zhu Gui accompanied him to carefully and continued, "Yan Shun invited us to join the village many times, and said that he had a good player in the village and was preparing to collect the five tigers. If my brother Zhu Fu and I went there, we will take the third and fourth seat."
"That's good! It seems that Yan Shun values you brothers very much, why don't you go?"
Li Kui felt that Zhu Gui and Zhu Fu both fell to the point of robbery, but what surprised Li Kui was that Zhu Gui had a very bottom line and said with a dark face: "The truth is different and the truth is not a matter of mutual planning. My brothers Zhu Fu and Yan Shun and I are not the same person, so we can't go together."
"Oh, it's quite easy to speak. Everyone knows that 'Tao is different and does not make plans for each other'. It seems that I have read the "Analects of Confucius"." Li Kui said in a sarcastic tone that Zhu Gui had no temper at all. After reading the "Analects of Confucius", he went to do business of robbing Tao. Obviously, this book was in vain.
Zhu Fu revealed his old story next to him: "Second brother, my brother knows these words."
Zhu Gui blushed and wanted to beat his brother, but because Li Kui was too intimidated, he never dared to act rashly.
Li Kui said leisurely: "Forget it, you two are still doing business, and they don't know if they are sold. Now I am in charge of the department. If I really have nowhere to go, come to my yamen to do things for me. If I do things well, in one or two years, I will plan for you a scattered official to be a general, and if I make a contribution, I will be able to be promoted."
"Second brother, can you really be an official?"
Zhu Gui's eyes were red. If he could be an official, why would he be a robber?
The one who is an official is the biggest robber. Besides, being an official is good, without corvee service, no taxes, and even the family can raise the family lintel. In the future, the matchmaker will break the threshold of his family?
Li Kui said disdainfully: "I am a fourth-rank official. Is it interesting to lie to you two? Besides, you two have the skills to serve in the army. Before you can make a contribution, the possibility of returning to the formation is very large. It is better to come to our yamen to do things steadily."
"We brothers must be fooled by the second brother, and to repay the second brother's grace."
Originally, he thought that the opportunity to be an official was gone, but Zhu Gui didn't expect that an accidental robbery would allow him to find an opportunity in the crisis. How many opportunities can a person have to turn around in his life?
Following Li Kui is definitely not worse than following Li Yun.
After all, Li Yun used to be with Li Kui, so he has the current official status.
"But before, I don't keep idle people. The reason I open my eyes to you is for the sake of the villagers in the countryside. Otherwise, your actions would have been the same as Yan Shun. I can leave the past without any blame, but if anyone dares to break my rules in the future, I will regret coming to this world."
Li Kui warned the Zhu brothers that although these brothers are old friends, they also have a relationship with Li Yun. It is precisely because of this relationship that we must make more rules.
Zhu Gui knelt down on the ground and raised his hand to swear: "Disciple Zhu Gui, if you make friends with bandits in the world again, commit crimes, and betray Brother Li, you will be hit by five thunder!"
"Disciple Zhu Fu, if he makes friends with bandits in the world, commits crimes, and betrays Brother Li in the future, he will be hit by five thunders!"
Li Kui didn't care about the oath, but people of this era believed it quite. Zhu Gui and Zhu Fu had already expressed their feelings, and Li Kui could not disappoint them, at least he could not mock them at this time. He nodded and praised: "Very good, now your brothers are officials of my Military Investigation and Statistics Bureau. In the future, we must forge ahead and make loyal loyal to the Song Dynasty."
"The villain understands!" Zhu Gui and Zhu Fu both bowed. The former looked up at Li Kui and found that the second brother was now dignified and majestic. He hung his head guiltily, took a step forward, and asked Li Kui: "Sir, we, the villain in the yamen, haven't heard much before?"
"The newly established yamen belongs to the Secretariat, is directly under the jurisdiction of the Prime Minister and Privy Councilor, and is responsible to Your Majesty. Idle officials have no right to interfere." Although the name of the Military Investigation and Statistics Bureau is annoying, it must be very responsibilities. In addition, Li Kui, who is like a wild boar, even the queen mother dares to offend him to death. There are still things he dare not do in the world?
It’s true that even Li Kui visited relatives, he did not forget his official duties. Li Kui brought several bronze medals to recruit subordinates and asked Ruan Xiaoer to find them out and throw them to Zhu Gui and Zhu Fu one by one.
After the two of them promised, they went out with great gratitude and touched the waist brand they had just obtained, made of bronze and cloud-patterned handwriting, and the two brothers looked happy face to face.
Besides, the waist card is really as Li Kui said, with three big characters written on the front, "Shu Shu Province" and the reverse, the two big characters "Shi Shu" were "Shi Shu". Zhu Fu saw the quality of the waist card and said happily: "Brother, my second brother did not lie to us. It is really the waist card of the Zhongshu Province. We are considered to have been granted an imperial examination?"
