Chapter 812
Wu Yong, who was quite talented in construction, was not appointed as a military advisor by Li Kui. How could he, a master who passed the exam with great dignity, use a student from a county school as a military advisor?
He couldn't afford to lose this person. Besides, Wu Yong, Wu Yong's level may be really good in Liangshan, but in Li Kui's eyes, in terms of level, the traitorous officials in the court are basically not even a bit better than Wu Yong.
Especially Wu Yong's lack of vision. In the eyes of Chao Gai and others, Wu Yong may be a rare talent. He is a good hand at coming up with ideas and finding ways out.
But for Li Kui, Wu Yong's vision is too low. This does not mean that he is stupid, but that Wu Yong has never stood on a bigger stage and cannot see through the world. Naturally, he does not have the ambition to swallow up mountains and rivers. Wu Yong's life
The trajectory is the village, and then the cottage. The farthest trip in my life was to the capital. It was like a casual observer, just a passing spectator. Not to mention the accumulation of life experience, it is impossible to talk about it.
In comparison, Gongsun Sheng is much stronger than Wu Yong.
Li Kui was naturally more optimistic about Gongsun Sheng, but even so, Li Kui did not rely on them.
He is a divine man who can even draw a map of the world. His vision, mind, and strategy are so great. How can he be compared to the people in Liangshan?
As for officialdom?
Forget it, Li Kui's best official partner is Cai Jing. Unless Li Kui becomes emperor, it is impossible for Cai Jing to abandon Longhua's wealth and join Li Kui.
The road has to be walked step by step. If Li Kui wanted to put his foundation on Jingdong East Road, there was really only one way to rebel, because in the end he could not get around the conscription route. Once conscription was taken, the nature of the conscription would completely change. No matter how difficult it was for the Great Song Dynasty,
You have to bite the bullet and eradicate it.
But if Xing Shu is detained alone, or even killed, the problem shouldn't be too big.
"Sir, how should Xing...shu deal with it?"
"It's just a reason to report to the court and keep him here. As for the arrangement, let him go to Salmon Island and follow the death row prisoners to build a lighthouse!"
There were many islands in the Song Dynasty. There were not ten thousand but eight thousand islands along the coast.
There are countless shoals and reefs. Jingdong East Road is a peninsula, and the Liaohai Sea is an inland sea. There are especially many shallow reefs, which has caused countless troubles for sailing.
However, the Song Dynasty did not have the habit of building lighthouses.
But Li Kui understood the truth that the age of navigation without lighthouses would have absolutely no future. Therefore, many islands in the Liao Sea, which is also the Bohai Sea in later generations, began vigorous lighthouse infrastructure construction. A lighthouse can at least provide
A port, a reef, indicates a direction, a destination, or a danger. It can provide a certain safety guarantee for the most dangerous boat trip in the middle of the night.
Building a lighthouse on the island is tiring and dangerous. This kind of work is definitely not something ordinary people in the Song Dynasty would be willing to do. That is to say, Li Kui, who took a fancy to the prison cells on Jingdong East Road and the murderers on Shamen Island, finally got it together.
A wave of people.
"Half a year, sir, give me another half year, and I promise to complete the construction of all the expected twenty lighthouses."
"Half a year is too long. Now the fleet has become more and more skilled in training, and the charts are being surveyed in an orderly manner. Other aspects also need to keep up, especially the lighthouse, which is the guarantee for our fleet to sail at night."
Li Kui was slightly troubled. The most he could do was recruit some prisoners from the cells. They had to be young and strong, and there weren't enough of them. As for recruiting, the danger and fatigue of building a lighthouse on an island was more severe than digging in a mine.
It's easy to lose character.
After thinking for a while, there was no way to solve it, but Wu Yong said impatiently: "The tools provided by the commander have made the project progress much faster, especially the iron wheels, which can lift large rocks that cannot be lifted by several people."
, can be installed easily, and the progress of the project has been greatly improved. The main reason why the speed is slow now is that there are too many projects, why not concentrate on building some lighthouses, and wait for others? "
"Concentrate part of it?" Li Kui pondered for a while, and could only nod in agreement: "Mark the location of the island and the number of reefs from the chart."
Wu Yong frightenedly thought about which islands he could rewind on this chart. Originally, people in this era did not have a strong concept of space. Even if Wu Yong was a scholar, the same was true.
With his forehead glistening with sweat, Wu Yong put down the pen in his hand and nervously asked Li Kui: "Sir, what do you think of these?"
Li Kui took a closer look and found that they were all close to Shamen Island, the islands around Changdao, and the reefs near Dengzhou. The amount of work was immediately halved, but the lighthouses close to Liao and Korea were all shelved.
Li Kui knew it was a helpless move, so he could only nod his head and said: "Forget it, that's it!"
Wu Yong handed over his hands and was about to leave. Before leaving, he opened his mouth hesitantly. Instead, it was Li Kui who asked, "Just tell me if you have anything."
"Sir, are you going to rebel?" After Wu Yong finished speaking, his heart felt like it was about to beat out of his chest, and the sound of war drums sounded from his eardrums, making him feel as if he was facing a formidable enemy.
Li Kui raised his head and glanced at Wu Yong, then he laughed calmly: "So what if you rebel, and what if you don't rebel?"
Wu Yong secretly complained, and it was not Wu Yong who hoped that Li Kui would raise a rebel flag, but Chao Gai.
He was the only one among the people in Liangshan who was not willing to oppose the Song Dynasty. He even thought of entering the officialdom of the Song Dynasty by recruiting people. In his heart, Wu Yong was a scholar, but he also had the loyalty of a Jianghu man.
It left him feeling in a dilemma.
Before, Li Kui was an official of the imperial court, so there was no problem for him to follow Li Kui. But now... Li Kui's behavior has gone towards the path of rebelling, and it is a matter of when to raise the flag.
Faced with Li Kui's rhetorical question, Wu Yong muttered: "Sir, didn't you do a good job as an official before? Why?"
"How good is it to be an official? Wu Yong, do you think your level of being an official is as high as mine?"
Li Kui didn't intend to say it clearly, but scholars just like to talk with a twist and turn.
Wu Yong's face was red and he was so ashamed. He couldn't even pass the imperial examination, so he was talking about his official level. Wasn't this pointing at his nose and scolding him for being wishful thinking?
But facing Li Kui, he had to hold back his grievances.
Pressing his head down, he pretended to be innocent and said: "Sir, please stop playing tricks on the villain. The villain has few articles and skills, and has not found any way to become an official. How dare he expect to become an official?"
"That's right, being an official is like eating noodles at a banquet. People watching the excitement outside are greedy, and there are anxious dogs under the table waiting for the meat and bones to fall..."
Listening to Li Kui's metaphor, Wu Yong had a strange expression on his face. He didn't know whether he was a slave serving guests at the table? Or a dog under the table looking forward to a big meal. Anyway, it was not a good thing.
Li Kui said playfully: "Do you still want to listen?"
It was humiliating to continue listening, and it was even more unbearable for Wu Yong not to speak out what was in his heart. He could only bite the bullet and bowed and said: "Please help me clarify my doubts!"
"Rules, all the rules are set by others. If someone gives you meat, you eat meat. When someone sees you off, you have to pick up your wine glass and get on the road immediately. This kind of officialdom is like a group of insects, crowded together, in order to
Live a good life, but if you are alone, ants will eat it. As for the world, this world still belongs to Zhao and Song Dynasties. If Rong and Di don't enter the capital, I will still be a minister."
"The world... Rong Di..." Wu Yong's eyes suddenly lit up, and he seemed to have seen some clues. Li Kui wanted a just and right name. In fact, in the long history, the world of the Han Dynasty got a just and right name. Other dynasties
They can't escape the suspicion of being stigmatized.
But when Rong Di came to Beijing, Wu Yong felt that he would never see it again in his life.
Li Kui smiled and said: "It is good to have peace in the world, but the world is in chaos. Why can't you be the mainstay? Are you stupid for studying? You are a descendant of Yan and Huang, not a descendant of Zhao and Song. You are crying and shouting to serve the imperial court. Why don't you think about it even if you are here?
The Central Plains has no chance to display its talents. Outside of the Central Plains, the world is vaster than you imagine. Let’s just say that there are three kingdoms around the Liao Sea, Song, Liao, and Korea. Even if the Song Kingdom cannot attack, what about other places? Aren’t the cities that were captured not cities anymore?
?”
Wu Yong thought about it. It seemed that his chances in the Song Dynasty were really slim. Perhaps he could realize his ambition by following Li Kui. Unfortunately, it was not the same as he imagined.
When they returned to their residence, Chao Gai, Liu Tang and others gathered around them and asked all kinds of questions: "Brother, have you asked clearly? What do you mean, Commander-in-Chief?"
This is the difference between others and Wu Yong. Wu Yong calls Li Kui 'Sir' because he hopes to one day enter the palace and enter the officialdom. But the others... are evil-minded and hard to change, and they are all eagerly waiting for Li Kui to take Xing Shu's operation.
, and then - killing officials and rebelling!
They didn't even think about it. Xing Shu's life was in their hands. If Xing Shu was really killed, there would definitely be only one way to rebel, and even the way to be recruited would be blocked.
But Li Kui was different. He was also an official, and his status was not much worse than that of Xing Shu. Li Kui killed Xing Shu, which was regarded as a personal enmity. He could not touch the edge of rebellion.
Wu Yong tested Li Kui many times, and Li Kui also told him that Xing Shu wanted to kill him.
I just want to keep this thing for a while, collect some interest, and let Xing Shu suffer more.
Wu Yong looked at the expectant eyes around him, gritted his molars and said: "Kill!"
"Long live!" Liu Tang shouted.
Others also shouted: "Long live!"
It seems that killing an official is of great significance to their career.
Others didn't know it, but Wu Yong knew it. It was really of great significance. Chao Gai and others raised the flag of rebellion, but what they were doing was still the business of bandits, specializing in robbery.
Not killing an official would be an insult to their career, and they would be nailed to the pillar of shame of bandits and water bandits for the rest of their lives.
But the problem is that they really have no chance to kill officials! Moreover, they don’t look down on the eighth-grade county magistrate in the county. In addition to Kaifeng Prefecture, the civil servants of the Song Dynasty also had Yingtian Prefecture, Henan Prefecture and several other accompanying capitals.
The county magistrates in the places are all eighth-grade officials. These low-level officials do not meet the requirements of killing officials and rebelling.
Even the county magistrate was not easy to kill for Chao Gai and the others. Suddenly, a second-grade civil servant, a minister, and a treacherous official fell. Chao Gai felt that this was a great opportunity for him to prove his ambition to the heroes of the world. He repeatedly exclaimed:
"Okay! Great!"
Liu Tang shouted, this guy is the least afraid of anything, even if he calls himself Emperor Li Kui tomorrow.
Even if Li Kui and Liu Tang had enmity before, would he be willing to tell him one day that Li Kui wanted to be his boss?
Liu Tang would never say no.
He is dead, but what about Li Kui?
The reincarnation of Wen Quxing, really speaking, is almost the difference between heaven and earth. Especially Li Kui's identity as a world hero has long been confirmed. He is not convinced by others being the boss. But Li Kui wants to be Liu Tang's boss, and he is completely convinced.
This is the inferiority complex caused by the great disparity in status. Thousands of words can be summed up in one sentence, and the life of a scholar is precious.
Nowadays, Chao Gai also has a convinced gratitude to Li Kui. It seems that he can finally face the gap between him and Li Kui, and that only Li Kui can lead them to glory.
Logically speaking, Chao Gai was the eldest brother. He felt that the best result would be to end Liangshan himself. He nodded with a smile and said, "Brothers, let Brother Yu take action to end that guy at that time."
Liu Tang quit and shouted: "Brother, how dare I let you get hurt? Let me do it!"
"Brother Yu, this is what you should do. Don't bother me."
"Brother, I have never killed a second-grade official before. I just want to have fun!"
"You dare to rob me?"
"Brother, the big boss is no longer you, but Marshal Li."
"He won't agree to let you do it. You have offended him."
