Water Margin people

Chapter 690
"Brother Cui, this is [-] guan."

Sun Lei pointed to the small box Guo Sheng carried, and when he opened it, there were shiny silver ingots in front of him.

"Senior Sun, what are you doing here!"

Seeing the box full of silver ingots, totaling 500 taels, Cui Yulin waved his hands quickly.

"Brother Cui has also worked hard to get in touch with them. This management also requires money. This is my point."

Sun Lei said with a smile, Cui Yulin's career must also cost money.

Cui Yulin declined for a while, but in the end he could not refuse, so he accepted it with a smile, but his impression of Sun Lei was much better in his heart. Apart from being arrogant and domineering, Sun Lei had a high self-esteem, but he was also a very sophisticated person. , A person who does everything without leaking water, as long as this kind of person has a good relationship, he will be a good contact in the future.

"Senior Sun, I'll let you know when the time comes. By the way, come to our study club when you're free. I'll introduce you to some popular undergraduates!"

Cui Yulin walked out carrying the heavy box.

"Brother, this is really God helping us Liangshan!"

Lu Fang looked at Sun Lei and said, they just wanted to enter the palace to capture the dragon flag, and now the opportunity to enter the palace came.

"No, I can't capture the flag that day, it's too dangerous!"

Xiao Jiasui said, that day Sun Lei was going to the Daqing Palace to attend a big banquet, if he captured the flag on this day, then Sun Lei would definitely be suspected, they couldn't take such a risk.

"Yes, brother can't take risks!"

Wen Huanzhang also said that there are many people who have met Sun Lei now, such as Cui Yulin, the guys from Zhuangyuan Building, and people who have met these days. If something happens to them, they will be locked up soon.

"Little brother is wrong! Wrong!"

Lu Fang realized that he was a little confused, how could he make Sun Lei rashly admit his mistake.

"It's okay, I've never been in a palace in my life, the thousand tickets are well worth it!"

Sun Lei said with a smile, the palace is not entered casually, if a thousand people go in for a meal, someone might squeeze their head.

……

Grand Master's House.

"Meet Taishi Cai!"

Song Jiang, Chao Gai and others bowed down to Cai Jing, and they all prostrated themselves on the ground.

Cai Jing looked at Song Jiang and the others without any expression on their faces, but the old god sat on the chair, drank tea, and then ate the snacks offered by the maid, while Cai Tao sat beside him, also without saying a word.

After a long time, Cai Jing coughed.

"Song Jiang, you did a good job!"

Cai Jing looked at Song Jiang and said, at first Song Jiang came to Taishi Mansion alone, but now there are 5000 people.

"It all depends on the grand master's majesty!"

Song Jiang lay on the ground, not daring to look up, and spoke.

"Well, my son is going to take office in Huazhou soon, you guys will go with him!"

Cai Jing pointed to Cai Tao and said to Song Jiang and others.

"We will swear allegiance to Mr. Cai to the death."

Song Jiang said loudly.

"Okay, you guys work hard, I won't treat you badly, and I will invite you to a formal official position after New Year's Day!"

Cai Jing nodded in satisfaction and said that although Huazhou is not big, its geographical location is very important. It is adjacent to the Yellow River in the east and Weishui in the west. It can be regarded as one of the gateways to the north of Tokyo.

The Zhizhou in Huazhou is different from ordinary people. They can control the military power. In this way, Cai Tao can truly have the power to protect himself, and he is not afraid of Cai You, who has become the military governor of Huaikang.

Song Jiang and others kowtowed again and again before leaving the Grand Master's Mansion.

"What! I don't even give you a sip of tea!"

After leaving the Grand Master's Mansion, Li Li looked angrily, they were all kowtowers today, Cai Jing looked at them like a wild dog.

"It can't be said that, we will have official status soon."

Mu Chun said with a smile, just now Cai Jing promised to help them find an official position, but this time it is a high-level official position, not the official position in the Daming Mansion.

"This is all thanks to brother Song Jiang, if there is no brother Song Jiang, our brothers are still fooling around!"

Mu Hong also said with a smile.

"We're all brothers, and we all share wealth and honor!"

Song Jiang laughed and said, and everyone naturally echoed.

Only Chao Gai's face was livid, none of this was what he wanted, he just wanted to be kind and revengeful, but becoming an official was like being in chains, which made him feel very unfree.

Song Jiang led the people to a small courtyard in the outer city. This was arranged by Cai Tao, not because he didn't want to arrange them to live in the inner city, but because they also brought soldiers and horses, and the soldiers and horses could only be stationed outside Tokyo. They need to go out of the city at any time, and it is more convenient to go outside the city.

These people under Song Jiang's hands don't have any fuel-efficient lamps, and they are all used to enjoying the place comfortably.

Now seeing such a bustling scene in Tokyo, I can still sit there, no matter day or night, they go out in groups of three or four, looking at their posture, I am afraid they will not come back for a day or two.

Song Jiang was also unavoidable, and went out after being greeted by Kong Ming, Kong Liang and others.

"Pedant, why are we here?"

Chao Gai was very uncomfortable looking at the bustling Tokyo market outside, he didn't like Tokyo at all.

"Heavenly King, you have already arrived in Tokyo, so don't think too much about it!"

Wu Yong shook his head, it was too late to say anything now.

"I really miss the days in Dongxi Village!"

Chao Gai said helplessly, thinking about it now, the days in Dongxi Village were still happy.

"Brother Chao Gai, at worst, let's go back to Dongxi Village!"

Liu Tang looked at Chao Gai and said, he knew what Chao Gai was thinking, and he didn't want Zhao'an either. If Chao Gai wanted to leave, he would definitely follow.

……

Squadron Building.

Sun Lei had nothing to do, so he went to Cui Yulin's reading club. If he wanted to go to the palace together, he had to get acquainted with him, otherwise it would be easy to get lost.

After such an exchange, Sun Lei has a new understanding of the imperial examination.

The earliest imperial examinations in the Song Dynasty were divided into Jinshi and Jiujing, Wujing, Kaiyuanli, Sanshi, Sanli, Sanzhuan, Xuexue, Mingfa, and Mingjing to select professionals; , see the special examination for the official, Huang Yicaoze, Xu Yingzhao, which is called the "system department".

Afterwards, Wang Anshi dismissed all the disciplines, and only retained the Jinshi and System departments, and set up the Xinming Law Department to select judicial officers.

But the main test is the Jinshi department, after all, the Jinshi is the key to one step to the sky.The general examination mainly examines: poems, scriptures, theory, and policy.The imperial examination is usually an examination policy.

Sun Lei doesn't know anything about poetry, scriptures, theory, and policy. When he writes poetry, he can only do bad doggerel.

"Brother Cui, there are always activities at the banquet, right?"

Sun Lei looked at Cui Yulin who was eloquent and asked, since Cui Yulin had something to do with getting a quota, he must have inquired about it. A thousand candidates are attending a banquet, so they can't all just sit and drink and eat, right?There is also a wine order for a banquet in Liangshan. Naturally, it is impossible to have a wine order for a grand banquet in the palace, but there must be an event anyway.

"Of course it's right to recite poetry!"

Someone answered immediately.

"I'll practice first. If I get the first prize and the officials like it, then what else is there to take?"

Immediately, some people were eager to try it. The current emperor Zhao Ji is a refined emperor, and his favorite things are piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

Everyone present except for Sun Lei was full of knowledge, and he couldn't stop reciting the poem right from the beginning.
