Du Zhongxiao and Wang Kai sat in the small pavilion on the second floor, drinking relatively well. Looking at the spring flowers blooming outside the window, and the people who went out of the city to go out of the spring were full of people, Du Zhongxiao was a little upset. I thought that this visit to Beijing was a good opportunity to show myself, but everything was unremarkable, and I was still very confused about where the future would be. This official has been promoted to a higher level, and he has been transferred to Dr. Taichang, and the authority of the judge of the Hedong Road Economic Strategy Division is a little greater, and he can deal with some unimportant border affairs on the spot, that's all. Seriously, the authority has not changed much from before.

has been an official for five years, and he has done an excellent job in every term, but it is only outstanding, and he has not made great achievements that have shaken the government and the opposition. For an ordinary jinshi, this is far from enough. In the same year, the champion Yang Ning was worried about his mother before he took office, and he died young. The next Han Jiang and Wang Qi have already entered the pavilion and served in the capital, entering the fast lane of official promotion. Wang Anshi was also called to test, but he insisted on resigning and went to Renzhi County in Yin County. His official position is higher than Wang Anshi's, but his writing is not good, and it is difficult to have the opportunity to call for a position in the museum. Officials do not have a museum position, and even if they are promoted again and again, the speed of promotion is too slow. Especially if he has been serving in other places, he has no connections in the court, and the emperor has no impression there, so it is too difficult to be promoted.

The first time the court was right, trembling, and he didn't even see what the emperor looked like. The second time the court was right, and finally there was a seat, and it was a formality on official business, and the monarch and the ministers did not leave any impression.

Sighing, Du Zhongxiao raised his head and drank a glass of wine.

Wang Kai said: "Isn't there something in the heart of the army? Just drink alone. ”

Du Zhongxiao said: "According to the imperial court's order, we will return to Hedong Road in three days, and we must not stay." My home is in Xuzhou, a few hundred miles away from the capital, I don't know if I can come. I finally returned to Beijing once, but there was no great progress in my career, so I finally saw my family. ”

Wang Kai smiled: "It turns out that I miss my family." Don't worry, as long as Zhijun's family is in a hurry, it can be in time. ”

"Borrowing auspicious words." Du Zhongxiao raised his glass and had a drink with Wang Kai.

At the beginning of the Northwest Yuan Hao, Wang Kai was just a small envoy, and in seven or eight years, he was promoted to a regiment and trained according to his military exploits. He is still promoted at an average speed, exaggerated as Di Qing, in ten years, from a small commander, to the history of defense, the palace in front of the capital of Yuhou, and the deputy of Zhending Road, he is one step away from the peak of military generals. Sometimes, Du Zhongxiao thinks that he will simply change to the military position, as long as there is a battle, the official position will be promoted quickly. According to Di Qing's age, in a few years, it will be time for Southwest Nong Zhigao to rebel. He has guns and cannons, and he is completely sure of dealing with Nong Zhigao. is as great as Xia Zhu, Ming Ho and others, and the official is promoted and then transferred back to civilian work.

Du Zhongxiao felt confused, because in the process of being an official, he really didn't know what to do. We can be busy and busy, and according to the viewpoint that the development of the productive forces will inevitably bring about changes in the relations of production, we have always focused on the development of the productive forces and waited for the arrival of a moment of change. can be done to know the army, relying on economic development alone, can not attract the attention of the imperial court. This time in Beijing, it can be seen that even if muskets and artillery are made, although the emperor and the hundred officials attach great importance to it, they only attach importance to it, and do not realize that this is a revolution in military affairs. Their understanding of firearms is still limited to a powerful new weapon, just like a divine arm bow, which is a supplement to the existing army.

Thinking of this, Du Zhongxiao was a little helpless. Although he is a jinshi, he is a type of jinshi who cannot become a martial artist in Chinese. It is very useful to write a good article of Jinshi, and you can know the system from the pavilion, and then to the bachelor of Hanlin, and then to the minister in a few years. For example, Qian Mingyi, a scholar from Hanlin, and Yang Cha, a scholar in the imperial history, took this path. It's a pity that his Jinshi is memorized by rote, and he doesn't have the literary style to draft words, so this road can't go anyway. If you are an honest civil official, you can only be promoted according to your qualifications, and your future is really not very bright.

Don't look at Du Zhongxiao's official position now a little higher than Wang Anshi, as long as Wang Anshi's brain is open, he is willing to enter the pavilion, take the road of the word minister's knowledge of the system, and rise up in a few steps with a rocket, Du Zhongxiao can't even see his tail behind.

If you want to make a career in officialdom, what Du Zhongxiao needs is military merit, which is the only possible path. But according to the current war model, it is the fierce generals who come out of the battle array, Di Qing, Wang Kai, Zhang Qi and others, each of whom can shoot a hard bow and lead the army to charge into battle. Du Zhongxiao doesn't have this ability, and he still has to be the commander of one side in order to carry out the war according to his own wishes, and he may not be able to turn into a general.

The Privy Council's proposal to reappoint Xiangzhou Zhizhou shows that he has crossed a critical hurdle, that is, the leap from the staff to the Zhizhou. Originally, there was a first-level general judgment in the middle, because of his outstanding performance in the Volcano Army, he was considered to have skipped it. For most Jinshi, this is the pinnacle of the career, and those who can go further are outstanding people. Moving forward, it will be a long official road for Du Zhongxiao.

If you are in a bad mood, you will get drunk easily. Not long after, Du Zhongxiao was drunk and smoked, and was helped back by Wang Kai.

At the beginning of the lanterns, Du Zhongxiao felt thirsty and woke up suddenly. But I saw a person sitting next to the bed, who was lowering his head to sort out the sundries. When I looked closely, it was my wife Han Youniang. I haven't seen her for two years, and Han Youniang has completely shed the youthfulness of a girl, and she is much more mature than before.

With a sigh of relief, Du Zhongxiao grabbed Han Youniang's hand and said softly, "I didn't expect you to arrive today." ”

Seeing Du Zhongxiao wake up, Han Youniang said with a smile: "In the past two years, I have learned to ride a horse at home, and I have traveled all the way, so it is too late." Don't you know, people on the road see me a woman riding a horse, and I don't know how many people have been blinded. ”

Du Zhongxiao said: "Why can't a woman ride a horse? Let them go blind! ”

Seeing that Du Zhongxiao was about to get up, Han Youniang said, "You are drunk and have slept for most of the day, so take a rest." Thirsty or not? I'll pour you a bowl of tea. Daddy is behind, and it will take a day or two to arrive, so there is no need to worry. ”

Du Zhongxiao lay down and said: "It's really shaking badly, I forgot about you when I saw you here, and you were thirsty when you mentioned it." ”

Han Youniang poured tea, and Du Zhongxiao drank it. asked her again: "I haven't seen her for two years, and my son should have grown up, did you bring it here?" ”

Han Youniang sighed: "Da Lang was sick a few days ago, and he couldn't stand the bumps on the road, so he stayed at home. ”

Du Zhongxiao was a little disappointed: "I finally went back to the Central Plains, but I didn't want to see my son." ”

Han Youniang said: "It's nothing, when Da Lang is well, let his family take him to the Volcano Army and live with you for a few days." The imperial court did not allow family members to accompany the army, and did they not allow relatives to visit? Now that there is nothing going on at home, Daddy has been clamoring to go out for a walk. ”

Daily communication, Du Zhongxiao knows the situation at home. Based on his experience in Yongcheng, Luo Jing bought a lot of land in his hometown and built a manor. With the income of the manor and the money from selling wine in Sanzhou, the Du family is now the leading rich man in Linying County. Du Xun has a good life, he thinks quietly, and always wants to walk around. The place where the son became an official was the preferred target. He is a lifter, and he has the reputation of studying tours, and he can go to all parts of the world. The son became an official and completely gave up his career, Du Xun is now a pure businessman, and he travels all over the world to find opportunities to make money.

Du Zhongxiao thought for a while, nodded and said, "That's the best." I'm alone as an official outside the home, and I haven't seen my family for many years, so I really miss it. ”

As an official in the border area, he is generally not allowed to bring his family. When drinking, Du Zhongxiao still wanted to make a contribution, and he was afraid that there would not be many opportunities to be an official in the Central Plains in the future. While you are young, work hard for a few years, and you can't waste the years. Thinking of this, Du Zhongxiao thought of Nong Zhigao, who rebelled a few years later. In terms of time, he has not been in turmoil for many years, and he must pay special attention to the movements in the southwest in the future and strive to seize the opportunity.
