The 124th chapter on the forest line (3)(2/2)
Go to Jing'antai, the military and other relevant departments to replenish manpower... I made a list last night, maybe I can invite some people from Zhongzhen Fusi, and I also need to send a document to the Ministry of War to request coordination."
"It's a matter of course, you go ahead and do it." Bai Yousi nodded. "I'll also go through the Trinity Orthodox Church to find some people... I'll gather the people together first, and I'll also keep an eye on Ma Du Gong's case...
...Both those who went to search for people and those who stayed behind are already tired. When the next group of people who change defense comes over, they will go back to rest."
When everyone heard these words, they felt relieved.
Zhang Xing also put aside everything for the time being and concentrated on coordinating and properly handling official affairs. He also sent official documents to the Ministry of War, and used official documents channels to send letters to the Jingan Taichung Town Fusi. He was busy until noon, and then received a dark brocade suit.
He wore a robe, uniform and a set of light armor, and returned to Chengfu Square with Qin Bao, who had been waiting for a long time.
Back home, he was still busy. Qin Bao first went to take care of the horse he had just brought back from Jing'an Terrace yesterday, and then went to practice martial arts. However, Zhang Xing also received Yan Qing from Beishi City who had been waiting here for a long time.
As expected, Yan Qing came to give money, a whole box of gold cakes, which captivated Zhang Sanlang's eyes on the spot.
Yan Qing was very embarrassed about this, mainly because Zhang Xing made it clear on that day that he had to act quickly, so he obviously lost a lot.
"That set of Danyang Three Mountains is such a pity." Yan Qing accepted the piece of gold cake handed by Zhang Xing magnanimously, but he still couldn't help but talk about related matters. "The owner of the Tongtuofang shop I am familiar with said to me,
He knew that there was a wealthy businessman from Xijing, who probably wanted to give a gift, and had been looking for Wang Canjun's authentic signature... According to him, if he could wait until the wealthy businessman came from Xijing, and make a move together, he would probably lose three thousand taels of silver.
Question... But because I was too anxious, I hurriedly sold it here and only got two thousand taels. But even so, when I came out with a few calligraphy, painting and antiques, I still had a lot of money. My family is just a horse dealer, so I didn’t dare to hide it boldly.
, I had to go to the silver shop of the eldest princess’s house. I paid half of the silver and exchanged it for gold and deposited it. I waited until I heard that Brother Zhang San was coming back today, so I took it out and sent it to you.”
"It doesn't matter, as long as you can get rid of it." Zhang Xing listened carefully and calmly changed the topic. "What is the price of silver now? Is it going up or down?"
"A while ago, we said we were going to build a big golden pillar, and it went up quite a bit." Yan Qing thought for a moment before answering seriously. "But now all the Nanya officials are trying to shirk it, and they haven't been able to build it. Instead, they've declined... This kind of news
If you can't hide it from others, the family members of dignitaries will react first."
Zhang Xing nodded and asked another question: "Then did you know that there was a fugitive who sneaked away in Bei City yesterday?"
"How come you don't know? The North City was almost overrun by Jinwu Guards, Jingjiehu and Jinyi Patrollers. Fortunately, my family was able to escape from the disaster by claiming Brother Zhang's name..." Yan Qing immediately smiled bitterly, but then suddenly remembered
What? He turned around and asked carefully. "But Brother Zhang, why are those patrolmen in fine clothes a little strange when they hear your name?"
"How strange?" Zhang Xing himself was also very curious.
"I stopped immediately. It's just that Hei Shou, who took the lead, was obviously afraid." Yan Qing replied seriously. "The reaction was a bit too much."
"It's considered a normal reaction." Zhang Xing thought for a while and responded calmly. "The main reason is that I just followed our Bai Changjian and was transferred to Fulongwei in Fusi, Xizhen... and by the way, I was promoted to the black ribbon."
"Congratulations to Third Brother Zhang and Second Brother Qin." Yan Qing was immediately in awe. "Especially Third Brother Zhang, it's only been a year...how can you become a black ribbon? In two years, wouldn't it be?
Do you want to enter the palace and become a serious nobleman?"
"It's difficult." Zhang Xing smiled and shook his head, but then he remembered something. "What about you... you said you want to take part in the imperial examination, are you prepared?"
"According to the usual practice, it is estimated that we will have to wait until next year." Yan Qing smiled bitterly when he heard this. "I don't have much certainty..."
"You'd better work harder." Zhang Xing said with a smile. "The main reason is that I don't know where I will be next year... If the situation is still the same, as long as you pass the exam, even if you are not appreciated by the nobles, I can still select you into the ambush.
Long Wei will be a civil servant and come here step by step."
Yan Qing was even more overjoyed, but felt embarrassed. After saying a few words, he took the initiative to leave.
As soon as the people left, Zhang Xing felt bored in front of a box of gold. In addition, he didn't sleep well last night, so he simply took a nap in his seat and thought about things at the same time.
After all, I had been away for several months. After I came back, I didn’t have time to adapt. First I encountered the drama of being adopted as my son, and then I immediately changed to a new environment. There was no time to buffer from all kinds of incidents, big and small, and everything ended up in chaos.
, to the point of confusion.
It seems like everything is important, but nothing matters anymore.
Thinking about it, although there were more people and things experienced in the past two days, compared to the previous experiences, it was a bit childish and weak.
What is the demonstration of the high governor's manipulation of power compared with the oppressive feeling of Uncle Cao's request to take in his son?
What is the story of Ma Dugong being poisoned by Dongyi's concubine, and then Dongyi's concubine disappearing, compared with the thrill of Ziwu Sword?
Similarly, there is gold in front of you. How does it compare with the food shortage in the seven counties of Jiangdong?
How does Fulongwei's manpower and next year's imperial examination compare with the river of blood by the Whirlpool River?
Each one of them is quite interesting, and they are all the same thing. They should be taken seriously, but they just can’t get excited... This is something you need to learn from Bai Yousi. That old woman is almost like a world-class person.
Who else's spirit is truly remarkable?
Just as I was thinking about it, someone suddenly came in and then went out again.
"What are you hiding from?" Zhang Xing opened his eyes and was speechless. "Now that you are here, help me and Yueniang to build a chicken coop in the yard and hide the gold."
Li Ding, who had dark circles under his eyes, turned around awkwardly and clasped his hands in response to Yueniang's curious gaze behind him: "I'm sorry, I'm used to being poor. I've never seen so much gold. My first reaction was to hide."
Zhang Xing thought for a while and then asked seriously: "By the way, Li Silang, what is your ambition... to be a generalissimo or a general?"
Li Ding was at a loss for a moment, but he still answered seriously: "It's nothing. It's about conquering the world and ascending to the throne."
"Yes, yes, yes, conquer the world and ascend to the throne." Zhang Xing suddenly realized, and then finally stood up. "You'd better help me build a chicken coop first, and by the way, help me refer to the following case of Ma Du Gong..."
