Wen Dao Academy.

"Do you know why I hit you?" Wang Zhen asked.

He now looks like a teacher, with a gentle smile on his face.

But the ruler in his hand was anything but gentle.

There was a "pop" sound.

No effort left at all.

Wang Jue covered his hands and almost cried. He was very angry and muttered: "I don't write the meaning of the scriptures well."

"Are you not good at writing only the meaning of the scriptures?" Wang Zhen laughed angrily.

"Cousin..." Wang Yan said coquettishly in a long voice.

Wang Zhen raised her face: "This is a school, call me sir."

"I'm not good at reading." Wang Jue felt aggrieved, "My head hurts when I read books."

"This is why I beat you." Wang Zhen said: "Why do you think you are asked to study?"

Wang Jue replied: "Take the imperial examination, Guangzong Yaozong!"

"Can you pass the exam?"

"Don... sir, please stop teasing me. Of course I won't pass the exam."

A matter-of-fact tone.

"So you just think that after working for two years, you can go back home and manage a shop, and then you can work for the rest of your life?"

"Hehe." Wang Jue touched the back of his head and thought to himself: If the family has enough money and hair, it's fine no matter the shop.

"My ruler has made you think like this." Wang Zhendao: "I didn't care about you before at home. But now I am your husband. Remember, teaching you to read is not to make you famous, but to gain fame."

Let you know the truth of the world."

"In this world, the vast majority of people are ignorant people, and their lives pass in confusion. And you sitting in this school today is something that thousands of children can only hope for."

"Since you have received such a blessing, you must return some blessings to the world. Set up a heart for the world, establish a destiny for the people, carry on the unique knowledge for the saints, and create peace for all generations. A man must choose a path after all..."

"After you read the book and understand the principles of the world, you can then understand what you want to do..."

Wang Yan looked ashamed.

Wang Zhen sighed, her mood waning.

He knew that even if he explained his truth to the ground, Wang Jun would still fall into his old ways in a few days.

There is actually no point in urging people to learn from others.

After dismissing the child, Wang Zhen, dressed in a long gown, stepped out of Wen Dao Academy.

Unexpectedly, I saw someone outside the door.

"Brother Wang."

"Brother Yongnian." Wang Zhen was a little surprised. She cupped her hands and said with a smile, "I should call you Zhang Dusi."

Zhang Yongnian, who was the commander of the patrol camp at the time, was not wearing official uniform today. He was dressed in coarse linen and looked like an ordinary warrior.

He seemed to be here specially to wait for Wang Zhen.

Zhang Yongnian stepped forward, put his arm around Wang Zhen's shoulders affectionately, and said with a smile: "Brother Wang, if you want to do this, I will have to call you my benefactor."

Wang Zhen smiled bitterly and waved her hands.

Zhang Yongnian added: "If it weren't for your kindness back then, Zhang would have starved to death on the street..."

The two of them found a restaurant, ordered food and sat down.

Nowadays, wine making is prohibited. There are only some existing wines on the market, and the prices are extremely high. However, Zhang Yongnian brought a wine bag with him, filled two bowls, and clinked them with Wang Zhen.

The two have been in Beijing for these years, and although their friendship is deep, they have little contact.

For Wang Zhen, patrol camp commander Zhang Yongnian is his last trump card.

Zhang Yongnian worked his way up from a white soldier to a guerrilla in Jizhen, and finally joined the patrol camp. He was not only capable, but also somewhat loyal.

When Geng Danglai took Wang Xiao to the patrol camp to identify him, Wang Zhen said, "I am familiar with Mr. Zhang, the Secretary of Guidu."

Wang Zhen’s friends are basically friends worth keeping.

Wang Zhen herself is also a friend worth keeping.

As soon as they met today, Wang Zhen knew that Zhang Yongnian wanted to ask for something.

I am just a businessman and a scholar in an academy, but I don’t know what else I can do to help him?

There was no rush to talk, the two of them were just eating the food and talking about something.

"After all these years in the patrol camp, I realized how difficult it was to do something in the Chu Dynasty!" Zhang Yongnian said: "It's just that this patrol camp is a small three-acre area, and the forces of all parties are intertwined. Everyone wants to

Make money..."

Zhang Yongnian said, shook his head and sighed: "I still wanted to do something big when I took office, but it has been wasted for three years."

Wang Zhendao: "You have done well over the years. I have always paid attention to your affairs. Geng Shubai, whom you have re-employed, is a talented person who catches thieves. In addition, although the patrol camp still has some money-making activities, it is still dealing with people, not as good as Wucheng

The Soldiers and Horses Division oppressed the people of the capital like that... In today's age, if you can do this, you have already tried your best."

Zhang Yongnian poured out the last bit of wine in the wine bag, raised the bowl and had one last glass with Wang Zhen.

"Don't say much, Brother Wang understands me!"

With the words 'understand me', there was a faint splash of water in his eyes.

After drinking the last bowl of wine, Zhang Yongnian said directly: "I'm here today and I have something to ask you."

"But it doesn't matter."

Zhang Yongnian said: "I want to be the commander of the Taiping Department."

Wang Zhen was stunned.

He thought he heard wrongly. He had been guessing in his mind just now, but he really didn't understand what Zhang Yongnian could ask for from him.

I thought it was because of lack of money or wine.

Wang Zhendao: "Aren't you kidding me?"

Zhang Yongnian said: "Brother Wang, you heard me right. I want to be the commander of the Taiping Division. Please help me, Brother Wang."

Wang Zhendao: "I am now teaching at Wendao Academy."

"I know."

"I'm just a teacher."

Zhang Yongnian turned around and looked outside the door.

Guarding the door was his confidant Geng Zhengbai, but unexpectedly someone eavesdropped.

Zhang Yongnian said in deep thought: "I have thought about it, and only Brother Wang can help me. If I want to be the commander of the Taiping Division, the key lies in the attitude of Dongchang Admiral Wang Fang. Nowadays, there are many people who want to curry favor with him. But Wang Fang

He is someone close to His Majesty. Most people cannot seek help from the palace, but can only seek help from his adopted son..."

Wang Zhen understood and said frankly: "My second brother Wang Zhu once bribed Wang Fang. I will tell him for you when I go back, and I will pay for you how much money is needed."

Zhang Yongnian took a deep look at Wang Zhen.

Wang Zhen didn't even ask, "Why do you want to seek this position?" The understanding and trust in this was beyond words.

Zhang Yongnian didn't say much. He wrote down the identity with one glance. He waved his hand and said: "Things are different. When choosing the horse to attach to, Uncle Jianing was the one who had the most influence. Only then can you bribe Wang Fang and Taiping.

The position of commander is of great importance and is not something that money can use."

Wang Zhen became a little confused.

But Zhang Yongnian said slowly: "Your younger brother... Wang Xiao is the one who can change Wang Fang's attitude."

Wang Zhen was stunned.

"You didn't expect it either, right?" Zhang Yongnian said, "If I hadn't been well-informed, I wouldn't have thought of it either."

He was extremely mysterious and said in a low voice: "The ban on alcohol is your brother's handiwork, right? He also asked Dongchang to purchase the grain from the wine merchants. In this, your brother must have a deep cooperation with Wang Fang."

Wang Zhen smiled bitterly.

Zhang Yongnian said again: "Did you know that Wang Fang and Taiping Secretary Zhang Xu had a falling out last night?"

Wang Zhen raised her eyebrows: "How do you know these things?"

"Since you want this position, you must prepare for a rainy day." Zhang Yongnian said: "In these years, I have trained my confidants in the patrol camp as spies of the Taiping Department."

"Now is the time for Wang Fang to employ people. I came to him, which was just a charcoal in the fire. But I still lacked a person who was important enough to introduce me, so I wanted to come to Brother Wang. Now my brother and Wang Fang can be said to be both prosperous and destructive.
