161 The new master
It was not uncommon to turn from literature to martial arts in the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty emphasized literature to military force and the commanders of the army were basically literati. Take the late Ming Dynasty as an example, three famous generals from literati origins were produced, Yuan Chonghuan, Sun Chengzong, Xiong Tingbi, Yuan Chonghuan was a Jinshi in the 47th year of Wanli, Sun Chengzong was the second place in the 32nd year of Wanli (the second place), and Xiong Tingbi was a Jinshi in the 26th year of Wanli. Three military experts were produced in the rigid eight-part article. It was a miracle.
In other words, tomorrow's energy is not over.
Unfortunately, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty rebuked one of them, killed the other two, and destroyed the Great Wall by himself. Otherwise, the Qing Dynasty might not have been able to enter the pass smoothly. Of course, these are all later stories.
A word woke up the dreamer. The yamen runners and constables could not be as good as regular soldiers. If they were immersed in Jiangyou, they would never become a big deal. It was very popular in the Ming Dynasty. In particular, the political situation in the late Ming Dynasty was turbulent, officials embezzled and accepted bribes, civil officials plundered the people, military officers exploited soldiers, and high officials extorted small officials and others from poverty. In March, the Minister of Works Nan Juyi issued an example of the opening of the case. Then, the inspector of the Nanzhili governed the king of Su, Song, Chang, the four prefectures, prefectures and counties, and the township Jindian House donated 9,838 taels of silver to be paid. By the fourth day of April, Nanjuyi and others were responsible for the assistance of the salary. Chongzhen ordered the order to collect the funds and then started to donate funds and provide assistance. After all, for the sake of the silver, the emperor gave up his face. Can ordinary officials not like it?
"I have a way." Lu Haoshan seemed to think of something, suddenly he was happy and shouted loudly.
"Dongweng, what's the solution?" Li Nian was startled by Lu Haoshan's sudden roar, and asked quickly.
Lu Haoshan smiled and spit out three words: "Han Wendeng."
The last time Yuan San and the others were sent to rob the official silver, something big happened. The Sichuan officialdom's opinion was that big things turned into small things and small things turned into nothing. The country of Tianfu didn't take the only 20,000 taels of silver seriously. The person responsible for the aftermath was the Sichuan Governor Tian Yang and the Sichuan Commander-in-Chief Han Wendeng. In the end, the Zitong County Magistrate Wu Kui was responsible for filling in the official silver. The matter of attacking several wealthy landlords in Zitong County was also tacitly approved by Tian Yang and Han Wendeng. Afterwards, the two of them also received a filial piety.
From this incident, we can see that neither of them is the kind of pedantic people, and such people are just bribed.
After hearing Lu Haoshan's allusion, Li Nian thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Yes, having a good relationship with this Han Tongzhi, it should not be a problem to find a military position, but Dongweng's term is still two years. There is no rush to change his position. It is better to have a much smoother job with military merit than buying a job with money. There is no need to spend too much money now. Just leave an impression on him and let him know that there is a person like Dongweng."
He didn't need to doubt people, and he didn't doubt people. Lu Haoshan gave Li Nian full responsibility for this matter, and then told him to keep the secret and not tell Li Dingguo. Because the closest people around him didn't know his plans, Li Nian naturally agreed.
The two discussed for a while before they walked out of the hall together.
"Brother Shan, you finally came out. But I was so anxious." As soon as he saw the two of you walking out, Liu Jinzhu hurried forward and said with a worried look on his face: "But I'm so worried."
Li Nian smiled and said, "Isn't Captain Liu worried that Li will be unfavorable to the county magistrate?"
"You ungrateful old man, this captain doesn't want to talk to you." Liu Jinzhu said hummingly.
He was obviously still angry about what happened just now. Li Nian didn't think he was angry when he heard this, but just smiled openly, while Lu Haoshan said with a serious look: "Jin Zhu. Don't be rude. This is the master I just hired. You can call him Mr. Li in the future."
What, in just a moment, this annoying guy became Brother Shan’s master?
This is no joke.
Liu Jinzhu was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't believe it yet, staring at Li Nian and said, "You, are you a master?"
"Captain Liu is right. The county magistrate did invite Li to be his master just now. Why, what advice does the chief magistrate have?" Li Nian is not an introverted person. On the contrary, he is a person who is good at dancing, otherwise he would not have received so much information on Zhao Jun. His indifference just now was just intentional to raise his identity. Seeing Liu Jinzhu's surprised look, he couldn't help but want to joke with him.
"Brother Shan, this Mr. Li..." I wanted to say that he was old and ugly, but his foot was still crutched, but when he saw the other party standing in front of him, he could not say that after he was halfway through his words.
You can't expose others' shortcomings in person.
"This matter is settled like this." Lu Haoshan said with a smile: "You two are my right-hand men, and we must cooperate sincerely in the future."
"Yes, boss"
"Yes, Brother Shan." Lu Haoshan spoke, and the two of them dared not object and agreed.
This is Li Dingguo who had finished practicing guns and walked over and said in surprise: "Uncle, have you become a master?"
Li Nian nodded and said, "That's right, thanks to the kindness of my elders, I have invited me to serve as a master. From now on, we will settle in Jiangyou."
"That's great," Li Dingguo said happily: "That's great, we won't have to run around in the future. We can't eat well and can't sleep well."
The days after leaving Zhang Xianzhong were the most satisfying days for Li Dingguo. There was no need to worry, no need to be rolled, and he also ate and sleep well. This was a fairy-like day, and it had nothing to do with the rebels wandering around. It had nothing to do with his youngness, but his uncle who was not good at his feet was suffering. This made Li Dingguo, who had always been filial, feel uncomfortable, and he often worried about when his adoptive father would treat his own uncle as an abandoned son.
Of course, the two of them have now broken up their ties and it has nothing to do with each other. The cattle, horses, sheep and food are nominally a meeting gift, but in fact they are equivalent to redeem money.
Li Nian patted Li Dingguo on the shoulder and said, "Dingguo, you have grown up and you must learn to take responsibility. My uncle and the adults agreed that I will send you to the adults' picket team for training tomorrow. You must perform well and not let us down."
"Yes, uncle."
Li Dingguo did not resist joining the picket team. For many poor children, joining the army was a good way out. Although Li Dingguo learned a lot of words with his uncle Chong, participating in the imperial examination at his level was a humiliation. Even his uncle Li Nian was just a child.
In any case, Li Nian, as a master, decided to ask for a master. It was Lu Haoshan’s private matter, and there was no need to report to Shangguan or explain to his subordinates. In ancient times, this master was not an official editor, nor did he have to spend money and food from the county government. Lu Haoshan paid him out of his own pocket for monthly money.
No surprises, Zhang Yunhui, Zhou Dayuan, Cao Hu and others saw Lu Haoshan hired a cripple as their master. The man was vulgar and had a bad appearance. They all looked down on him at first, and some even deliberately provoked him. However, after gaining Lu Haoshan's trust, Li Nian quickly got started. In a few days, the county yamen was managed in an orderly manner. The people's demands and superiors' documents were handled appropriately, without any deviation or wrongness.
He is experienced in dealing with things, politely and low-key, and soon won unanimous praise from all over the yamen. It is said that the county magistrate is keen on to recognize talents.
After observing for a few days, Lu Haoshan found that Li Nian did not disappoint his expectations, and finally let down his heart. In fact, he had enough ability to be a military advisor and looked around the world as a master in a small county government. He felt a bit too big and useless. He said to Li Nian that it was simply a piece of cake. Sometimes his approach was even more clever than Lu Haoshan.
With the master helping me with official duties, Lu Haoshan can free up time to do what I want, such as going to Niutou Mountain to test the training situation, or taking the excuse to go to Zhaojia Village, ask Zhao Min to tease each other, and then take a look at the situation of training carrier pigeons. These will be of great use in the future, or just take a map to study or something, and life will be much easier.
When I invited the right person, Lu Haoshan was very leisurely, but the people in Zhaojia Village were all busy. In a few days, it would be a great time for Lu Haoshan and Zhao Min. Now some guests arrived early and had to arrange their daily life. In the backyard of Zhao Ruqing, the patriarch of the Zhao clan, the ingredients purchased were piled up like a mountain. These were all for guests to treat guests. There were some expensive ingredients, which could be said to be free of cost.
Zhao Yuqing worked hard all his life and saved up a huge family business. He had no children. He only had Zhao Min, a baby daughter. Naturally, he did the best. He took care of everything and didn't have to worry about Lu Haoshan.
It can be called a good father-in-law of the Ming Dynasty. (To be continued, please search for astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
