Chapter 987: Observe the meticulous Cai Jing

Among the four young men, Cai Jing is the oldest but the worst physical strength. Tong Guan, who is his group, loses badly... As for Gao Qiu, he is really good. If he is older and has better physical strength, maybe even Gouya can't beat him. Nowadays, the little balls are tied with the most.

After kicking all over his sweat, Xiaozhu gathered a pile of firewood on the spot and asked several people to dry their clothes so that they would not catch a cold.

After nothing happened, the teenagers started chatting.

Cai Jing always felt that he was very unfortunate... This person is slender, fair and handsome. He has been known as a child prodigy since childhood, especially calligraphy, and has a profound attainment.

In the early years, gentlemen said that he could pass the Jinshi and become the top scholar. Cai Jing also worked so hard... He regarded Zhang Dun and Lu Huiqing, who also came from Fujian, as role models. Unfortunately, he was too young and his family was not well off, so he could not study in Liuyi... Finally, he was able to take the Jinshi class, and the court continued to reform. He studied so much classics, and the proportion of examinations was getting lower and lower, and his actual studies were getting worse and worse. Since last year, he has even made a scholar.

Cai Jing calculated by his fingers that he was over 20 years old, so how much time could he waste?

In the past, I had no choice but to have a scholarship, but now I might as well take the exam as soon as possible and get a job first.

Cai Jing was quite successful, and he really passed the exam.

However, when he entered Beijing, he met Lu Huiqing. The two were only a teenager apart. They were already the second-ranked figure in the Censorate and were equal to the important minister of the prime minister.

Where is him?

I was still a small bookkeeper and had just started my career. I don’t know what I could do in this life!

"Oh, I just can't figure it out. The court always changes everything. What do you want to do?" He complained in a low voice. Gao Qiu didn't like to listen. He bulged his cheeks and said, "How can I not change? If the court does not change, I will never be able to read in my life!"

Tong Guan's eyes widened when he heard this, "Your family is very poor?"

"Well, my mother died early, and my father is tempted to bet. I have been eating for many years and I haven't worn a new piece of clothing before I was ten years old!"

Gao Qiu tells his tragic experience. The changes in the Gao family started in the eighth year of Jiayou. At that time, the imperial court encouraged the development of side jobs. His father owed a lot of debts, and it was obvious that both of his father could not survive.

There was no way, Gao Qiu's father gritted his teeth and carried a load. He left the city in the evening, ran 20 miles, collected the cheapest vegetables from the people, and then carried more than 100 kilograms of vegetables. He took advantage of the early days to return to Beijing, walked around the streets and alleys, and made a living by selling vegetables.

For two years, Gao Qiu's father slept during the day and worked at night, making him look like a thief.

But in the past two years, not only did I pay back the accounts, but I saved 100 volts. I finally could afford a carriage and rented a stall in the vegetable market.

Dad Gao even married a second-married woman. He even took out money and sent Gaoqiu to school, had the opportunity to study and learn to drive a tractor.

In comparison, Tong Guan's life experience is even more miserable. He doesn't even have a home. He lives with his brother and sister-in-law since he was a child. Later, he became a little older and his brother and sister-in-law were unwilling to take care of him.

At one point, he even wanted to send him to the palace as a eunuch. Although it was cruel, at least he had food to eat and would not starve to death, and the family would be less burdened.

It was only after the palace rectified several times and no longer recruited people from the capital, so Tong Guan survived.

Until a few years ago, the imperial court promoted the school and took out special funds to run literacy classes. Tong Guan was appreciated by his teacher because of his intelligence and was recommended to enter a higher-level college. He studied mechanical science. He was two grades lower than Xiaopeng. However, he relied on his hard work to squeeze into the team developing tractors. If it goes well, he will be able to participate in the assessment early next year and is expected to become the youngest engineer in the Song Dynasty!

The two bitter children scoffed at Cai Jing’s complaints!

They felt that the court had changed too well. If they did not change, Gao Qiu would have to be a gangster in the capital for the rest of his life. As for Tong Guan, he could not even save his life!

Two to one!

Cai Jing felt the pressure clearly, and he quickly laughed, "I am a man who doesn't keep the door in his mouth, so I'm talking nonsense, don't care... In this way, I'll treat everyone to roast lamb tomorrow, which is considered apology!"

"This is almost the same!" Gao Qiu said with a smile, Tong Guan frowned and didn't say anything.

Cai Jing only noticed Xiaotu at this time, and he didn't say anything.

"I said, "Mr. Wang, where is your family? How about it?"

Xiao Tong was stunned for a moment and smiled and said, "I have nothing to say about my family. I just have a lot of busy people, from all over the world, and I can't meet each other for several years... Some are in the south, some are in the north, and some are in the south, and some are in the south, and some are in the overseas life."

Cai Jing didn't think much, just nodded and exclaimed, "That's not easy!"

Just as the chat was getting hot, someone came and rushed directly to Xiao Tong.

"Young Master Wang, Lord Zhang invites you."

"who?"

"It's Lord Zhang Zhang!"

"Oh, I thought it was Zhang Zihou!" He muttered, grabbed the dried clothes, said goodbye to a few people, ran away.

Cai Jing looked at him leaving and suddenly frowned.

"Do you know who this Wang Gong is?"

Gao Qiu shook his head, "I've seen him a few times, and today is the first time I've spoken."

His eyes turned to Tong Guan, and Tong Guan shook his head, "I don't know, but Wang Gong is indeed very powerful. In Xixia, General Manager Xu was very polite to him... Another time, Mr. Wen went to see our tractor, and others cleaned it up, but Mr. Wang was dressed in black clothes and had black oil on his hands, so he didn't take Mr. Wen seriously!"

Cai Jing took a breath. He just noticed that Xiaopeng's clothes looked dark in color and were not very valuable, but Cai Jing knew that it was the best dark-patterned jacquard cotton cloth, thick and soft, breathable and warm, and not ostentatious, and the price was even more expensive than silk!

Such good clothes are so good that I can wear them to repair the car. This person is really talented!

Cai Jing was indeed very thoughtful. He felt that it was necessary to learn more about this Wang Gong, which might be helpful in the future... In the blink of an eye, it was evening. After dinner, he was about to rest when he suddenly blew the assembly trumpet.

Although they were transport teams, they had to obey military orders and arrived at the school ground in a short time.

A middle-aged general stood in the middle. Behind him, three steps away, the one standing was Xiao Tu. At this moment, his face was solemn, completely different from usual.

"I will introduce myself first. My name is Zhang Feng. I am from Fujian. I have just been transferred to the Imperial Guard Du Yuhou. This time I am your chief general. You must obey my command!"

Speaking of this, Zhang Qing subconsciously looked at the little pig behind him.

Zhang Feng was not from Liuyi and did not know the prince of the Wang family. It was not until he sent troops that he realized that there was a great god hidden in the transportation team!

Zhang Feng called the little pig over and persuaded him to ask for leave as soon as possible. If he stayed in the army and made any mistakes, no one could afford it.

But Xiao Tong didn't care.

"My brother is still leading troops overseas. As for Your Majesty, he just met the Khitans... I will never abandon my brothers. Of course, Lord Zhang can tell my father that he might agree!"

Zhang Feng was crying. Can the prince agree and I would advise you to ask for leave?

Your Majesty has gone to the battlefield, who can be an exception?

Fortunately, Zhang Feng was not an ordinary person either. He said with a shady face: "It's okay to go, but you must listen to me and you can't take risks with yourself, otherwise I can't explain it!"

Xiao Tong cooperated very well, "Don't worry. You are the chief general, and the military man takes obedience as his duty, I understand."

...

Although Xiaopin agreed happily, Zhang Feng was always in a state of fury, for fear that the noble second young master would cause trouble for him. Zhang Feng stuffed 20 guards to him and asked him to stay in a row. Xiaopin refused to agree, so he refused to let him set off together.

There was no way, Xiaotu could only nod.

But now he was fine. He couldn't keep a low profile even if he wanted to keep a low profile. Wherever he went, there were a group of burly men following him, and it was impossible not to be conspicuous.

In order to ensure the confidentiality, they chose to go out at night.

Zhang Yu arranged war horses and carriages outside and protected the tractor in the middle. A total of 3,000 people left Ruzhou and headed straight for Yehu Ridge.

The transportation capacity of the tractor is dozens of times that of a carriage, and can easily take away the food and gunpowder needed by 3,000 people, especially the crucial 50 artillery pieces.

This is also the key to whether Yehu Ridge can be taken down and defended.

However, shortly after the convoy came out, problems arise one after another, especially when the weather was cold and the boiler temperature of the steam engine was not enough and the power was insufficient. When it came to climbing hills, they needed to push together, and it was easy to fail. Small pigs and several people in charge of technology had to keep running around. Often one was repaired and another one had problems.

Zhang Feng was so depressed that he found Xiao Tong while he was free.

"Second Young Master, our tractor is not a defective product, right?"

The little pig snorted, "What do you think?"

Zhang Qi was embarrassed to scratch his head, "I just think there are too many faults."

"This is good. You can laugh secretly! My father is good at everything, but sometimes he is too naive and superstitious about technology. He doesn't practice it a few times in advance. Besides, can this vast snowy field be the same as the Guannei?"

That is, you dare to say that I don’t talk much anyway!

Zhang Feng suddenly remembered something, "By the way, the prince explained that if the road is too slippery, you can install anti-slip chains."

“What anti-skid chain?”

Zhang Jing immediately asked someone to find him, and Xiao Xiao understood at a glance that the so-called anti-slip chain is a chain that can be put on the outside of the tire, which can enhance friction!

Xiaopeng rolled his eyes, "This thing is good, don't stand there, hurry up and pretend!"

Zhang Qi immediately agreed and asked someone to help. Sure enough, with the anti-skid chain, the team became much faster. The initial jokes of the imperial guards were not able to laugh out loud.

At the speed of a cavalry, it is also a very painful thing to run 100 miles a day, but the people sitting on the tractor are relaxed and comfortable. Don’t forget that each car also carries tens of thousands of kilograms of things!

It's indeed Hercules, awesome!

Others were lamenting the power of the transportation team, but Cai Jing put all his thoughts on Xiao Tong. Finally, he found an opportunity, "That... Wang Gong, you, you are... He, His Highness, and the King of Yan, what, what, what's the name?" Cai Jing asked the most difficult sentence in his life, and his heart was raised to his throat...
