Chapter 60: Celebration

The sentry that had been squatting in front was also called back, and two horses were brought back.

Xu Ping stepped forward to see that these two horses were much more majestic than his own, and he couldn't help but rejoice in his heart. At this time, the war in the northwest had not yet started, and there was not a shortage of horses as it was later. However, according to the rules of the Song Dynasty, first-class horses were used for military purposes, and only those that were unbearable for military use were used for post stations and civilian riding, and a little decent was very precious.

At this time, there was still some time before dawn, but after such a big victory, and there were no casualties, everyone was very excited and did not feel sleepy.

Xu Ping ordered the captives and corpses to be brought to the wheat field, and the captives were locked in the big poplar tree on the edge of the field. Ordered the farmer to go to the village to get sorghum wine, and then go to kill chickens and sheep to cook it, and then hold a celebration banquet on the wheat field.

A dozen torches were lit, and Xu Ping picked up the bowl and said loudly: "You guys eat this bowl of wine first to suppress the shock, and then the meat will come up, and then eat and drink to your heart's content!" ”

All the villagers responded in an uproar and drank it all.

Li Wei was brought up from the village to the wheat field, and he saluted before Xu Ping.

Xu Ping said: "Tonight's big victory, thanks to the elder ventilation report, should be credited!" I went to identify the thief first, and then I drank a bowl of celebratory wine! ”

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

Ke Wulang saw Li Wei and scolded: "Pigs and dogs are not as good as things!" I used to treat you as a brother and betrayed me, I'm really blind! ”

Xu Ping smiled: "You're not blind, you're kicked in the brain by a donkey!" Ask the elder for news, can he take the credit for this delivery? It's done well, and it has also been made up by the county minister, and since then it has also had an official body, and it is not heaven and earth compared to now! ”

Li Wei was originally nervous in his heart, but when he heard Xu Ping point out a bright avenue, his eyes lit up, and he sighed and said to Ke Wulang: "Wulang, how many times have I told you, find a job to live, don't fool around outside." You didn't listen to your brother's good words, and you insisted on going your own way, and finally there was today's disaster, do you say you regret it? ”

Ke Wulang sneered: "You are arrogant for a while, don't think that you can do anything if you hold me!" When I get out, I look good with you! ”

Xu Ping saw that he was arrogant, and couldn't help kicking: "Who do you think you are?" Could it be that he is still the godson of the Queen Mother! I still want to come out and give me a good look, and honestly wait to cut off my head! ”

Ke Wulang just sneered, and he didn't know what to rely on.

Xu Ping is not afraid of him, more than a dozen people in Kaifeng Mansion are robbing with open fire, don't even want to suppress this kind of case when the prime minister of the court, and he is afraid that he will turn the sky upside down!

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: "Elder, everyone is already tied here, but we all have to listen to your orders, do we want to send the official or what?" ”

Li Wei was startled, hurriedly stood up and saluted Xu Parallel: "Everyone is caught by the owner of the small village, of course, everything listens to the owner of the small village, how dare I talk nonsense?" ”

Xu Ping motioned for him to sit down, and Wen Yan said, "You take the local elders, and your duty is to catch thieves." If I take down the people, I still have to hand them over to you, and you will send them to the official, which is reasonable. ”

Li Wei is an elder, and the reason why he was cleaned up by Xu Ping is obedient, there is no way, because although Xu Ping's family is not on the stage in the capital, it is a first-class wealthy family in the local area. It has always been a common thing for a wealthy family to bully an errand officer, unless Li Wei has the ability to go against the sky.

Li Wei only treated Xu Ping as polite, and he didn't even dare to say it. I didn't want Xu Ping to come forward, but he was determined to come forward, so in the end he had to agree, and after drinking two bowls of wine, he went to recruit his strong men.

Xu Ping is too lazy to deal with the government, and he doesn't see this kind of credit, but he is just troublesome. If you have made great contributions to catching thieves and maintaining the local area, you can also make up for the officials, but how can Xu Ping be this kind of official? He has a lot of silver in his village, and on a fairy-like day, how can he spend that spirit! What's more, he has recently improved with Lin Wensi's study, with the situation in Kaifeng Mansion, it is not difficult for him to mix a township tribute jinshi next time he opens the imperial examination, with such an identity, An An is a strong and small landlord. If you have a heart, then you will go to the middle jinshi, and that is to be an official.

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

It has not been too long since the imperial examination has really opened its door to ordinary people, and there has not been a trend in society of only reading the books of sages and sages, and most of the people who really regard the imperial examination as their own career are still the families of eunuchs, and other landlords and businessmen will not spend too much effort on this.

This era is very delicate, if it is a few decades earlier, the number of Jinshi admission places is very small, and the Taizu Dynasty often takes ten or eight in one subject, and it is really difficult to climb to the sky at that time. Since the Taizong Dynasty opened up the quota on a large scale and improved the treatment, it has only been thirty or fifty years since then, and the ordinary people have not reacted at all. It is only in Kaifeng Mansion that the people are well-informed, and Zhang Sanniang never forgot to let Xu Ping go to the middle jinshi.

Li Wei was sent away, and the meat in the courtyard was already cooked, and it was brought to the wheat field. For a while, the call was everywhere, and the bankers let go to eat and drink and enjoy it to their heart's content.

After drinking a few bowls of wine, Dongfang finally appeared in the white belly of the fish, and after tossing all night, Xu Ping also felt a little sleepy, but Li Wei had not come back yet, so he could only insist there.

After waiting for a while, Li Wei hadn't come yet, but Lin Wensi and Lin Suniang came over with Su'er.

Xu Ping stepped forward and saluted, and Lin Wensi asked about last night's situation.

There is nothing to hide, Xu Ping started from Li Wei came to report the news, how he arranged it, how to command the battle, and talked about it in detail, although it was not exaggerated, but it was not modest.

Lin Wensi nodded after listening: "You did an excellent job!" The arrangement is lawful, the advance and retreat are orderly, and the success is achieved in one drum, and there is quite a talent of a general! In the future, it will be the imperial examination, which is also extremely useful. This dynasty is different from previous dynasties, even if it is a literati who is appointed to a foreign place, such as taking a military position, going on a horse to manage the army, getting off the horse to manage the people, and the civilian officials must also have generals! ”

The local magistrate of the Song Dynasty knew the prefecture and the county, and there were both civil and military positions, and they respected the civil service. All civilian chiefs, such as the local military chiefs, such as concurrently patrolling soldiers and horses, supervising soldiers and horses, and so on. If the chief official is a military officer, the general judgment of cooperation must be civilian, and he actually presides over civil affairs.

Lin Wensi's main attack is "The Three Legends of the Spring and Autumn Period", and he has dealings with many military generals in Beijing, so he is not exclusive to martial arts. Xu Ping has this ability, and he was quite surprised.

Xu Ping's attitude towards Lin Wensi is not surprising, many generals read "Spring and Autumn", and he has been exposed to it a lot, of course, it is easy to accept.

But Lin Suniang's attitude next to him made Xu Ping puzzled.

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

Lin Suniang with this expression, Xu Ping has never seen it, and even in his memory, he can't find it. According to Xu Ping's impression, Lin Suniang will not like a general, her requirements for Xu Ping have always been the same, if she studies hard and goes to a middle jinshi to roll call from Donghua Gate, it will be excellent.

Xu Ping was confused, not knowing what this little girl was thinking.
