"Is Zhong Cheng agreeing like this?"
In the wing room of Bai Yousi's Zhu Shou courtyard, Qin Bao looked at the pile of documents and files on Zhang Xing's case and was in disbelief for a moment.
"Why don't you agree?"
Zhang Xing put his legs, which were said to be unable to move his energy, on the desk. While flipping through the files in his hand in the large chair, he chatted with Qin Bao, who was waiting for him to get off work. "Do you think I was joking that day? If this thing is really done, it will really be of great benefit to Wei..."
"I know, I know." Qin Bao sat down uneasily. "Once the black list comes out, anyone who can use some words to provoke internal strife among the gangsters will be hugely profitable. But the white list..."
"It's just what you think." Zhang Xing kept flipping through the documents without raising his head. "Once the White List comes out, there will be internal strife among the rivers and lakes, internal strife among practitioners, serious gangs against each other, and the children of the aristocratic families will often be brave and fierce. For the court, it is a good thing that the benefits outweigh the disadvantages... The imperial court wishes that all these heroes on the White List would die too. , what is so difficult to understand? It is the list of talents, and it is also more convenient for the court to win over talents. Your son is number one in the list of talents in Hebei, why don't you become an official? Erlang, who was born as a commoner, is the eighteenth figure in the list of talents in the world. The court Sooner or later he will be conquered, why do you Bai family want to win over him? Do you have evil intentions? "
Qin Bao sighed slightly: "But in this case, Brother Zhang is not afraid of being hated by others?"
"Who is grudged against, how to be grudged against, and who to be grudged against?" Zhang Xing said disapprovingly. "The essence of this matter is that the court wants to master more social information. This is the instinct of the court, and it is also the basis for the smoothness of this matter. Setting levels and categorizing is the natural trend of information processing. I just feel that things Interesting technical document, the sky is falling because there is a black tower holding it up... If they are dissatisfied, they should go to the court, at least to the black tower, why bother to target me, a Jingantai Baishou who does not go out to work? "
"That's true." Qin Bao looked at the black tower clearly visible outside the window and was honest. "Since I have made Jinyi, why should I worry about these things... Even the inspection only finds it interesting."
"Okay, let's go."
As Zhang Xing said this, he put down the document in his hand, then tore up a piece of paper next to him and wrote a few words with his pen.
Qin Bao was curious and went to see the tiger. It was clearly written on it. It said that although Aunt Gu of Hongshan was also a tiger hunter, she only had a brief battle with the tiger and forced the tiger back. It was still not as good as strangling it to death in the river with her own hands. Sun Sanniang of Jiangxia, a giant crocodile, suggested that Sun Sanniang be nicknamed Sanzhangqing (the name of a python) and ranked thirty-fifth on the list of heroines, while Aunt Gu was nicknamed Mu Linghu and ranked thirty-sixth on the list of heroines.
"Brother Zhang is still helping to arrange this?" Qin Bao was surprised after reading it. "I thought it was a joke last time..."
"Several black men in the black tower gave the inspection a face. Seeing that I was an initiator, they often communicated with me. They are regarded as non-staff consultants. You and I have already settled the matter of being a good person." With that, Zhang Xing closed up. The paper was stamped with stamping wax, and someone was called again. "Xiao Gu, is Xiao Gu here?"
While he was talking, a handsome servant with a white face flashed in from the door, and he quickly handed over his hand: "Zhang Baishou."
"Give this note and these two documents back to Chen Heishou in the tower. After you hand them over, you can pack them up and disperse. I have to leave too." Zhang Xing said, standing up without waiting for the other party's reply. He actually picked up the cold cup and followed Qin Bao who had already walked out the door.
It can be seen that the life of this white-sanded man working as a workhorse is really comfortable.
Turning around now, the summer heat has dissipated and the mood of autumn is getting higher. The flowers and trees along the way are green and yellow, reflecting the afternoon sun in the pond, and dappled with some fallen leaves and flowers. It is a beautiful scenery.
Chengfufang, where the two live, is separated from Jing'an Terrace by a pond. They have long been accustomed to it, and there is no need to walk around. Zhang Xing took a cold tea and strolled back with Qin Bao.
However, one thing that has become very obvious in the past few days is that there have been more and more colleagues saying hello on the road, and there are even many black people waving from a distance, which makes people think a lot.
"They are all well-known experts in Taichung." After crossing the bridge, crossing Tianjie, and entering the Beifang Gate of Chengfu Square, Qin Bao finally spoke again. "They actually all understand the principles of this list, but they still want to rank higher... I heard that there is a Zhu Shou patrol who specially gives gifts to the black ribbons in the Black Tower."
"What's the point? Fame and wealth have attracted people's hearts since ancient times." Zhang Xing finished drinking the tea, hung the cup with a handle on his waist with a white ribbon, and paced with his hands behind his back, becoming calm. "Even if the two of us said it clearly at this time, weren't we just excited about being on a first come first served basis and getting on the list first? When the list comes out in the future, our reputation will be ten times that of the previous ones. People have a higher reputation than you."
Qin Bao hesitated for a moment and shook his head slowly: "I think Brother Zhang is different from us in this matter."
Zhang Xing was slightly surprised, but glanced at the other party slightly: "How do you say that?"
"I and the others are really worried about this matter... It's an inspection. They say it's funny, but in fact they are still worried about Sima Erlong... On the contrary, it's you, Brother Zhang, who seems to care about rankings. He shouted that it was interesting, and he was still worried about being promoted, but in fact, he didn't seem to really care." Qin Bao said carefully. "Third brother, if you don't care about money, fame, or career, then what do you care about? Is there really nothing that you can't let go of?"
Zhang Xing pondered for a moment and replied seriously:
"I have really thought about this. Do you think it is possible that I care about everything and am too greedy, which makes everything seem shallow? Or maybe I have read too much and am so ambitious, whether it is fame or fortune. Whether it’s success, success, or salary, you all want something bigger and higher... So you don’t care about these things right now, but you always feel like you’re stepping on a stepping stone?”
Qin Bao nodded, but couldn't help but laugh: "That's right, but isn't this the so-called ambition? It looks a bit like Li Ding, the fourth man of the Li family who has been with me a lot recently."
At this point, Qin Baofu calmed down and sighed: "Brother Zhang, all of you are great heroes who want to do great things."
Zhang Xing shook his head and smiled: "If you, Qin Erlang, are surrounded by great heroes, have you ever thought about what you are? Are you a toad?"
Qin Bao was startled for a moment and laughed.
The two of them had finished their daily business exchanges and had arrived at the cross street in the square. They were about to turn around. Unexpectedly, the well pavilion on the cross street was filled with people, so they moved forward curiously. The two of them were dressed in brocade clothes and had embroidered swords. One of them had a white ribbon. He came straight over and dodged to the left and right. But when he got closer, he saw that it was a recruitment notice.
After about a while, everyone understood what was going on, so they left directly and headed home.
But he could not walk more than ten steps and came to the entrance of the alley. After all, Qin Bao was a good person and knew the pros and cons. Besides being young, he couldn't bear it anymore, so he couldn't help but sigh in a low voice:
"Dongdu City is bustling now."
Zhang Xing knew the same thing and could only nod.
It turned out that the two of them had just seen clearly that the conscription order was written simply and directly, but it was an unexpected and unreasonable huge military and political order, which was to reorganize 180,000 elite new troops.
The reason why it is expected is that during the second expedition to Dongyi, almost all the 200,000 people were wiped out. Although the troops of the general manager of Xuzhou and part of the navy fled back, the Central Plains, the East Territory, Hebei, and most importantly Part of the Shaanluo Prefecture's army was completely wiped out, and the Shangwu Army, which was always called the elite of the Eastern Capital, was also completely wiped out. Now that there is peace both internally and externally, it should have been rebuilt.
But speaking of being unreasonable, they actually only set up a local army of 60,000 people, and then directly raised a direct forbidden army of 120,000 people in the Eastern Capital.
Of these 120,000, 80,000 were collected from Zhechong Mansion in various parts of Guanzhong in the form of a Bei Mansion. This was still considered a typical selection method for the Wei Mansion. But the remaining 40,000 Royal Guards actually recruited brave and courageous people from all over the world under the banner of restoring the Fifth Army.
This is to directly abandon the Wei Mansion dominated by various powerful men and change it to recruit soldiers.
This action itself was a bit earth-shattering but not pyrotechnics. You can imagine how many bloodless confrontations took place in Nanya over this matter.
You don't need to think about it to know that these 40,000 so-called elites who are well paid and directly affiliated to the royal family will inevitably attract heroes from all over the world to gather in the Eastern Capital. The wealth and nobility of the Eastern Capital, coupled with the generals of Jing'an Station, If you throw it out at the right time, I'm afraid it will really add fuel to the fire.
This year’s autumn and winter, Jing’an Taiwan is quite busy.
However, when he walked to the door of his house, Zhang Xing thought about it and felt proud again - these people have nothing to do with him. He is now a high-end social worker sitting in the office, different from those who work in the field.
PS: I slept in during the weekend and woke up at 11:30. Sorry, sorry...have a happy weekend everyone.
