Liuzi County.Zhang Youzhi read the official document, put on the official seal with satisfaction, closed it carefully, and ordered the officials to assign it.

After a moment, he stretched his waist, smiled, sighed, and glanced at the self-striking bell, which was bought and sold by the Western Qin Dynasty and paid tribute by the Song family, and was now rewarded by the lord.

At this time, a servant stepped in and said with a smile: "Master, you got up early, and you slept late last night, will you have to go to lunch?"

In this world, meal just refers to "meal", which can be used by ordinary people.

Zhang Youzhi stood up and said, "I'll go see my uncle first, and I'll use it with my uncle." ”

As he spoke, he went out, and when he got outside, he felt a chill on his body, and the rain was hazy outside, and the rain was fluttering with the breeze, and fell on the clothes from time to time.

When Zhang Youzhi arrived in the room, he saw Zhang Minzhi come out: "Come, follow me." ”

Zhang Minzhi said: "Youzhi, what do you think of General Dingyuan now?"

Zhang Youzhi didn't take the words immediately, looked up, looked around, and walked to a bench in the nearby corridor, both of them sat down, Zhang Youzhi sighed leisurely: "General Dingyuan's big victory this time, the overall situation of Shu is basically half decided, unless Wei Cundong suddenly returns to his youth." ”

"Well, in the past few years, my calculation technique has become clearer and clearer, in other words, the ancient system of the world is divided into thirteen states, and each state has a dragon qi, and this Shu is the dragon qi of Yizhou. Zhang Minzhi said.

"This Yizhou dragon qi is gradually condensing now, and I once found an opportunity to observe the ancestral tomb of Wang Hongyi's second father a while ago, and found that there was nothing unusual. ”

But in the family temple, there is a hint of grandeur, condensing a looming young dragon, this is the condensation of the young dragon in Shu, Wang Hongyi has the dragon spirit of Yizhou, and he will be able to unify Shu in the future, and compete for the world. ”

Zhang Youzhi looked around, saw that there was no one around, and asked in a low voice: "Uncle, you can talk about the hidden dragons in various states." ”

"Since the decline of the imperial court, dragons have risen everywhere. Each state has its own dragons and wants to chase the world, but some dragons have died before they have achieved success, and some can rise and grow and compete with the dragons. ”

"I've only seen the four dragons, not to mention the dragon qi of Shudi, the dragon qi of Qindi is also in the midst of flourishing, very strong, and the dragon qi of Jingzhou is also gradually waking up, as for the dragon qi of Jiaozhou, although there are Han people often reclaiming, but the qi of Hu Yi is too strong, so the dragon qi foundation is weak and not orthodox. ”

"The battle of dragon qi is to race against time, grow first and devour the neighboring dragons, Shu is rich, and a quarter of the wealth in the world comes from this, but Shu has the sword pavilion and the defense of Hanzhong, the danger of Kuimen and the Three Gorges, easy to defend and difficult to attack, but because of this, the kings of Shu in the past dynasties have been locked in the dragon, do not want to forge ahead, and often prefer a corner to protect themselves. ”

"Lock Dragon?" Zhang Youzhi asked with a frown.

"This is the saying on the public opinion, Shu is closed, trapped around, its dragon is difficult to come out, so once someone becomes the king of Shu, often affected by the dragon qi, even if the male plan is rough, it is inevitable to breed the heart of enjoyment, do not want to forge ahead, even if the initial impact is not large, but the dragon is difficult to come out, so out of the Shu competition, only two or three tenths of the Shu dragon gas, often difficult to rival the neighboring dragon, the first battle lost. ”

"Once lost, the momentum of the trapped dragon will become, the dragon qi penetrates, even if the hero does not want to forge ahead, and it is difficult to break through, you have always been valued by General Dingyuan, and you must go to the book in the future, not only to go out of Shu, but also to win the first battle, so that you can trap the dragon and break the lock, and achieve a great cause. Zhang Minzhi said.

Zhang Youzhi listened to it and silently thought to himself, the world thought that he was the mastermind, but in fact, half of it was Zhang Minzhi who was hidden behind the scenes to guide and support, and this time it was also a strategic direction.

"Uncle, you are so long, why don't you go out?" I don't think the lord will mind. ”

"Hey, you have this heart, it's very good, but I know that I know that it was originally an ordinary situation, and now that I am unlucky in cultivating the Fa, I can no longer be rich and noble, and you are born with great wealth and wealth, and we can work together to make your luck merge with the community and lay the foundation for the wealth of my Zhang family. ”

Hearing Zhang Minzhi's words, Zhang Youzhi's body moved, and he was very moved.

"You are now the commander of Qipin County, according to my observation, this Dingyuan general attaches great importance to you, you must be the master of the dragon, you must be cautious, remember to remember, in my opinion, the Zhang family is indispensable for a marquis. ”

Zhang Youzhi smiled and said: "Thank you uncle for your teachings, now the general trend is undecided, there is no need to make a desperate plan, only after the unification of Shuzhong, I should fight, and I must make sure that the lord can break the lock out of Shu and annex the neighboring dragons." ”

Zhang Minzhi nodded and said: "You have luck, as long as you don't cross your duty, you are not taboo by the lord dragon's qi, or Shu Long is beheaded, I can rest assured." ”

Zhang Youzhi bowed in response: "Yes!"

After Wang Hongyi of Wenyang Mansion returned to the army, Zhang Youzhi and Yu Liangbo were not there at this time, so he was a lot busier in dealing with things.

At this time, the little officials who were waiting didn't dare to ask, and stood outside side by side, looking at Wang Hongyi from time to time.

"I now know that the secretarial department is really bad. After a long time, Wang Hongyi sighed, said, and then pursed his lips: "The people elected by the counties are all outside?"

The little official said: "Yes, they are all working outside, half of them have been officials for a year and have been promoted according to their qualifications, and half of them are specially recommended talents." ”

As he spoke, he stole Wang Hongyi's expression.

Wang Hongyi listened carefully, and immediately said: "There is no imperial examination yet, this promotion is the source of talents, bring them up, and meet in the side hall." ”

"Yes!" replied the little officer.

Wang Hongyi went directly to the side hall and sat down on the seat in the middle.

It didn't take much time for more than a dozen people to come over one by one to meet and kneel for a long time.

Wang Hongyi said with a smile: "Get up!"

At this time, the leader was a man about thirty years old, respectfully holding a book, and said, "General, this is the courtier's confession. ”

"Bring it!"

"Yes!" the man agreed, and offered it.

Wang Hongyi has seen them one by one, they are all recommended people, they all have some experience and family background, and they know that this is not the time to carefully investigate, so he said with a slight smile: "You and others are all recommended to be virtuous, and they are all sent down to be officials for some time, so as to be familiar with local or yamen affairs, but this time is nothing, and it will take time to really understand." ”

"Yes!" the crowd responded.

"In this way, you all enter the official for the sake of the Jiupin Dengshilang, and the specific work will be sent down when we arrange it. Speaking of which, Wang Hongyi felt more and more that the establishment of the center was imminent.

Everyone was immediately overjoyed, kowtowed and thanked him, Wang Hongyi swept his eyes, looked up, and saw everyone's fate.

Among the more than a dozen people, three of them are white gas, which doesn't matter, even if it is white gas, it can be used as the ninth grade, and now it is only from the ninth grade, there is no big problem.

The others were all pale red and red, but there was only one young man, but the top was golden, which suddenly surprised Wang Hongyi.

After thinking about it, Wang Hongyi said: "The three of you stay, and the others retreat!"

Pointing up, there were three, two crimson, and one golden, and all three of them were a little surprised and stood still.

"Name again!"

"Yes, the minister has hoped, and I will meet the lord. "Since he has become an official, he is qualified to be called the lord of Wang Hongyi, this person is born on the top, and he is crimson.

"The minister Hu Shu paid a visit to the lord. "This is also crimson, the talent of the county order.

"Minister Zhang Yuwen greeted the lord. "This person is the person that Wang Hongyi attaches great importance to, Wang Hongyi thinks about it carefully, it seems that this person has some impressions, and he doesn't have time to think about it for a while, but even if he doesn't remember, it doesn't matter, he can't fake his natal qi.

At the moment, he said: "The three of you, you don't have to send it to the county, just enter my secretary as a servant from Jiupin Dengshiro, but the words are in front." ”

"Entering my secretarial department, it is all related to important military and political matters, you are an official here, there are several rules, first, you are not allowed to make friends with ministers, and those who form parties will be killed. Second, if a military plane is leaked, there will be no forgiveness for those who leak secrets. Third, it is forbidden to discuss right and wrong, and those who discuss it privately will be dealt with harshly--do you understand?" Wang Hongyi still had a smile on his face, and said plainly, but suddenly a chill appeared in the hearts of these three people.

However, the secretary department is a small cabinet, and those who enter will be promoted quickly, and after these three people were shocked, they were overjoyed, and they all kowtowed: "Yes, the ministers don't dare." We are participating in confidential information, it is the general's great trust, how dare we forget our righteousness and use our family name to play with our lives?"

"You know, I'm just admonishing. Wang Hongyi smiled and changed the subject: "You go down, go to the account room to get fifty taels of silver, don't shirk, this is the treatment that you have when you enter the secretary department, go back and get tokens and official uniforms, and come tomorrow - go down now!"

"Yes!" the three of them kowtowed and went out.

When they went out, Wang Hongyi pondered for a while, and finally found out a little impression of his past life.

Zhang Yuwen is said to be very literary and artistic, and served as the magistrate of the county when he was the king of Shu.

Zhang Yuwen was diligent in government and loved the people, Guangxing water conservancy, and did a lot of practical things, and the people of the county were grateful to him, and the king of Shu also appreciated it, and rewarded him with 50,000 yuan.

Now it seems that this person is not only the prefect of the county, but at least the prefect, since he can govern the government, then he will be promoted in the future.

It is said that Zeng Wang, Hu Shu, and Zhang Yuwen were all surprised, and they were ordered to receive the silver, which was fifty taels of silver, and the tent said with a smile: "Since the three adults are in the secretary department, then we will send it to the courtyard of the secretary department, and tomorrow the adults will send someone to take it -- no one dares to take a penny with their hands." ”

Zeng Wang, Hu Shu, and Zhang Yuwen all agreed, and went out of the Jiedu Embassy, which was the height of summer in June, the sun was shining, the cicadas were singing, and the trees were quiet, and everyone was resting in the shade.

The three of them walked along the street, and saw a hotel in front of them, and there were melons outside, Zeng Wang said with a smile: "The three of us are lucky together, and we will be on the same errand in the future, why don't we go in and have a drink?"

They both shouted yes and went in together.
