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 hands in the large chair, he chatted with Qin Bao, who was waiting for him to get off work. "You thought I was joking that day?"
No? If this thing is really done, it will really be of great benefit to Wei..."
"I know, I know." Qin Bao sat down uneasily. "As soon as the black list comes out, anyone who can use some words to provoke internal strife among the gangsters will have huge profits. But the white list..."
"It's just what you think." Zhang Xing kept flipping through the documents without raising his head. "As soon as the white list comes out, there will be infighting among the rivers and lakes, internal strife among practitioners, serious gangs against each other, and the children of the family are often brave and ruthless, and are hostile to the court.
It is a good thing that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages... The imperial court wishes that all the heroes on the white list would die. What is so difficult to understand? The talent list is also more convenient for the court to recruit talents. Your son is number one in Hebei.
Why don't you become an official? This Erlang, who is born as a commoner, is the eighteenth most talented person in the world, and the imperial court will recruit him sooner or later. Why do you, the Bai family, want to win over him? Do you have evil intentions? "
Qin Bao sighed slightly: "But in this case, Brother Zhang won't be afraid of being hated by others?"
"Who is being grudged, how to be grudged, and who to be grudged against?" Zhang Xing said disapprovingly. "The essence of this matter is that the imperial court wants to master more social information. This is the instinct of the imperial court, and it is also the fundamental reason why this matter is so smooth. It depends on
Hierarchy and classification are the natural trends in information processing. I am just a technical clerk who finds things interesting. The sky is falling because there is a black tower on top... If they are dissatisfied, they should go to the court, or at least go to the black tower.
, why bother targeting me, a Jingantai Baishou who doesn’t 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 care 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 took a look out of curiosity and went to see it. It was clearly written on it. It said that although Aunt Gu of Hongshan also fought tigers, 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 wax, and someone called out 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 they are handed 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 social worker 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 are 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 walked back with Qin Bao.
However, one thing that is very obvious these days is that there are more and more colleagues saying hello on the road, and there are even many people with black ribbons 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 all actually understand the principle of this list, but they still want to
My ranking is higher...I heard that there is a Zhu Shou patrol who specially gives gifts to the black Shou people 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 and hung the cup with a handle on his waist with a white ribbon. He also paced with his hands behind his back and became calm. "That's what the two of us said at this time.
You are so clean, weren't you excited just now because you were on a first come first served basis and could be on the list first to help you win the ranking? When the list comes out in the future, our reputation will be ten times higher, and we will not be more famous than the people in front of 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 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 calls it interesting and is still worried about being promoted, but in fact, he doesn't seem to really care." Qin Bao said carefully. "Third brother, if you don't ask for money, don't care about fame, and don't care about career, then what do you care about?
What? 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 profit.
, whether it’s success or salary, we all strive for something bigger and higher... So you don’t care about these things right now, and 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 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 crowded with people at this time, so they moved forward curiously. The two were dressed in brocade clothes with embroidery.
Kou Dao, one of whom was still wearing a white ribbon, came over directly and naturally dodged to the left and right. 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 after walking no more than a dozen steps, when he arrived at the entrance of the alley, Qin Bao was a good person and knew the pros and cons, and 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 in his heart and could only nod.
It turned out that the two of them had just seen clearly that the conscription order was simple and direct, but it was an unexpected and unreasonable 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 Xuzhou Commander-in-Chief and part of the navy fled back, the Central Plains, the Eastern Territory, Hebei, and the most important
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 some peace both internally and externally, it should have been rebuilt.
But speaking of unreasonableness, they actually only raised 60,000 soldiers in the local area, and then directly raised a direct forbidden army of 120,000 soldiers in the Eastern Capital.
Of these 120,000, 80,000 of them were selected from the Zhechong Mansion in various parts of Guanzhong in the form of a reserve government. This is still considered a typical selection route for the Wei Mansion. But the remaining 40,000 Royal Forest Guards actually
Under the banner of restoring the Fifth Army, we directly recruit brave and courageous people from all over the world.
This is to directly abandon the Wei Mansion where the various powerful clans are entrenched, and change it to recruiting 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 people, who are well-paid and the so-called elite of the elite who are directly under the royal family, will inevitably attract heroes from all over the world to gather in the Eastern Capital. The Eastern Capital is rich and noble, plus 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 again and felt proud that these people had nothing to do with him. He was now a high-end social worker in the office, different from those who worked in the field.
PS: I slept in during the weekend and woke up at 11:30. Sorry, sorry...have a happy weekend everyone.
