Chapter 60 Celebration

The secret whistle that had been squatting in front was also called back and brought back two horses.

Xu Ping stepped forward to see that these two horses were much more majestic than his own, and he couldn't help but feel happy. At this time, the war in the northwest had not yet begun, and horses were not as short as they were later. However, the rules of the Song Dynasty, first-class horses were used for military purposes, and those that were not as good as those used by the military were used for post stations and civilian riding. It would be precious if it was a little decent.

It was still some time before dawn, but after such a big victory, there were no casualties, and everyone was extremely excited and had no sleepiness.

Xu Ping ordered people to take the prisoners and their bodies to the wheat field. The prisoners were locked on the big poplar trees on the sidelines. The bodies were swept away with the broken reeds and placed them aside. He ordered the villager to go to the village to get sorghum wine, and then go to kill chickens and sheep and cook them. Then he held a celebration banquet on the wheat field.

After lit up a dozen torches, Xu Ping picked up the bowl and whispered: "Eat this bowl of wine first and suppress the shock. Then come up with the meat, and then have a good time to eat and drink!"

The tourists from all the villages responded and said ok and drank them all in one go.

Li Wei was taken from the village to the wheat field and greeted Xu Ping.

Xu Ping said: "This big victory tonight is thanks to the senior general's news that he should remember the first merit! First, I will identify the thief leader, and then drink a bowl of celebration wine!"

Li Wei went to the under the poplar tree to look at Ke Wulang, and said to Xu Ping: "Little owner, this person is Ke Wulang."

When Ke Wulang saw Li Wei, he cursed: "Things are worse than pigs and dogs! I used to treat you as a brother, but I betrayed me. I am so blind!"

Xu Ping smiled and said, "You are not blind, you are kicked by a donkey! I asked the elders for information, how can he not want the credit for the delivery? After doing so, he was also reinstated by the magistrate and the minister of the county. From then on, he also had an official position, and compared with now, he was not in heaven and earth!"

Li Wei was originally uneasy. When Xu Ping pointed out a bright road, his eyes immediately lit up. He sighed at Ke Wulang in a fake way and said, "Wulang, how many times have I told you to find a good life to live and not to mess around outside. If you don't listen to your brother's good words and insist on doing your own thing, you will eventually have the disaster today. Do you think you will regret it?"

Ke Wuro sneered: "You are arrogant for a moment. Don't think you can do anything if you hold me! When I get out, you will be beautiful with you!"

Seeing that he was arrogant, Xu Ping couldn't help but kick him: "Who do you think you are? Are you still the Queen Mother's godson? She also wanted to come out and show me something good, just wait for beheading her head!"

Kogoro just sneered, not knowing what he had to rely on.

Xu Ping was not afraid of him. More than a dozen people in Kaifeng Prefecture were openly robbed. Even the prime minister of the dynasty could not suppress such a case, but he was afraid that he would be the best of Ke Wulang!

After confirming Ke Wulang's identity, Xu Ping asked Li Wei to return to the table to stop drinking.

After drinking a bowl, Xu Ping asked Li Wei: "Chief, everyone is already tied here, but we all have to obey your instructions. Should we send an official or what?"

Li Wei was startled and hurriedly stood up and bowed to Xu Ping and said, "The people are captured by the little manor. Of course, everything is listened to the little manor, how dare I talk nonsense?"

Xu Ping signaled him to sit down, and said warmly: "You are taking the local elders and you are responsible for catching the thief. If I take down the person, I will still give it to you and you will give it to the official. This is reasonable."

Li Wei is a senior, and there is no way to be the reason why Xu Ping was punished by him, because although Xu Ping's family was not on the market in the capital, they were a top-notch wealthy family in the local area. It has always been a common thing for the wealthy families to bully the servants, unless Li Wei's ability is against the will of heaven.

Li Wei only thought Xu Ping was polite and said he didn't dare to take it. Unexpectedly, Xu Ping was determined to let him come forward, and finally had no choice but to agree. After drinking two bowls of wine, he went to recruit his strong men.

Xu Ping was too lazy to deal with the government, and he didn't take such credit, just because he thought it was troublesome. He could also make up for the officials if he had made great contributions to arresting and maintaining the local area, but how could Xu Ping be a such official? He made a lot of silver in his own village, and he would not spend that energy on his spirit! What's more, he has improved recently with Lin Wensi's study. With the situation of Kaifeng Prefecture, it is not difficult to get a local imperial examination and become a Jinshi in the next imperial examination. With such an identity, An An and a strong little landlord. If he is more intent, then he will be a Jinshi seriously, and that is the official.

After coming to this world for so long, Xu Ping also figured out that the Jinshi in this era was not as rare as the Ming and Qing dynasties, and it was even far less than that in the Southern Song Dynasty. This was the easiest era.

It has not been too long since the imperial examinations have truly opened their doors to ordinary people, and there has not been a trend in society that only reads the books of sages. Most of the people who truly regard the imperial examinations as their careers are officials, and no other landlords or businessmen will spend too much effort on this.

This era is very subtle. If it were decades earlier, there would be very few Jinshi admission quotas, and during the Taizu Dynasty, ten or eight were often taken in one subject, which was really difficult to reach the sky. However, the large-scale opening of quotas and increasing the salary from Taizong Dynasty was only thirty or fifty years ago, and the general public had not yet reacted. Only in Kaifeng Prefecture, the people were well-informed, and Zhang Sanniang was obsessed with letting Xu Ping win a Jinshi.

After sending Li Wei away, the meat in the yard was cooked and brought to the wheat field. A sudden shouting came from the village guests, and the villager let the day eat and drink and enjoy it.

After drinking a few bowls of wine, Dongfang finally turned white. After struggling for a night, Xu Ping felt a little sleepy, but Li Wei had not come back yet, so he could only stick there.

After waiting for a while, before Li Wei came, Lin Wensi and Lin Su Niang came over with Suer.

Xu Ping stepped forward and bowed, and Lin Wensi asked about the situation last night.

There is nothing to hide. Xu Ping started from Li Wei coming to report the message, saying in detail how he arranged and how he commanded the battle. Although it was not exaggerated, it was not humble either.

After listening to this, Lin Wensi nodded: "You did a great job! You have made arrangements with orderly advances and retreats, and achieved success in one go. You have a great talent as a general! In the future, you will be admitted to the imperial examinations, which is also very useful. This dynasty is different from all dynasties. Even if you are a literati who serves outside the place, take military positions, take horses to control the army, and dismount to manage the people, civil servants must have generals and talents!"

The local chief officials of the Song Dynasty were magistrates of prefectures and counties, and civil positions were respected. Civil positions were always the chief officials of the local army, such as military inspectors and military commanders. If the chief officials were military positions, the joint magistrates must be civil positions and actually preside over civil affairs.

Lin Wensi was mainly engaged in "Three Legends of the Spring and Autumn Period", and had dates with many military generals in Beijing, so he was not rejected by martial arts. Xu Ping had this ability, which surprised him quite.

Xu Ping's attitude towards Lin Wensi was not surprising. Many generals read "Spring and Autumn Annals", so he was of course easy to accept after he had come into contact with him.

However, Lin Suniang's attitude next to her made Xu Ping confused.

Although Lin Suniang didn't say a word, her face was full of energy and she kept listening to Xu Ping's story attentively. That serious expression almost meant a little admiration.

Xu Ping had never seen Lin Suniang with this expression before, and even could not be found in his memory. According to Xu Ping's impression, Lin Suniang would not like a military general. Her requirements for Xu Ping were consistent. If she studied hard and became a Jinshi and became a Jinshi, it would be excellent.
