After Duan Tieniu read the new recruitment requirements, his eyes suddenly lit up and he asked.
Luo Xing was extremely surprised: "Brother Duan, are you kidding me? You are doing well in Zhenwu Academy. Your salary and treatment are not bad. Why do you want to go to Nanya? It is such a hard job?"
"Didn't you say above that the salary is high and the treatment is good?" Duan Tieniu widened his eyes and asked, "Is it possible that this is all a lie?"
"That's not true, it's just a relative term, and the treatment in Nanya is definitely not as good as that in Zhenwu Academy." Luo Xing explained quickly.
"Day after day, year after year, I chop meat and cook in Zhenwu Academy. I am really tired of this job." Duan Tieniu lamented.
"This job is so comfortable. It guarantees a good harvest despite droughts and floods. You don't have to worry about food and drink. There are so many people fighting for it that they don't have a chance. Otherwise, you give it to me and I'll do it?" Luo Xing said, not that he didn't want to kidnap Duan Tieniu, but
It was because he didn't want this friend he finally met to jump into Nanya's fire pit.
Duan Tieniu had a lot of freedom in Zhenwu Academy, but once he went to Nanya, there were more rules and there was no exit mechanism, so he was really tied up.
These are not mentioned in the recruitment brochure.
He couldn't tell the outsiders all about his cruel side, otherwise he wouldn't be able to recruit anyone else, and he would be scared away, so who else would he recruit?
When the time comes, no one can be recruited, a big hat will be put on him, and he will be the one to walk around without food.
Of course, the work in Nanya is not that unbearable. If it was really unbearable, there would still be many young people willing to join the Tiqi recruitment every year.
After all, an ordinary Tiqiu job is a pretty stable job, the work is not heavy, and the pay is considered to be above average. In a place with excellent security like Luojing, it is still very attractive.
"Don't be ridiculous, Nanya secret agent. If you come to our Zhenwu Academy, aren't you afraid that everyone in the Zhenwu Academy will eat you up?" Duan Tieniu joked.
"Brother Duan, let me tell you, this special investigation office was proposed by Zhuo Chunfeng. I was the first one to be dragged into the trap. I can't watch my brother jumping into the trap with me."
"You are already in a trap. How can I, as the big brother, not accompany you? This is what we call sharing blessings and sharing hardships?" Duan Tieniu chuckled.
"Brother, I'm serious. Nanya is now headed by Zhuo Chunfeng, which is different from when Ye Hou was the head."
"But now I can see the end of my life. I can't see any hope at all. I'm not even forty years old. If I don't give it a try, I'm afraid I won't have a chance in the future."
Luo Xing fell silent.
He understands the pain points of middle-aged men, whether they can reach high levels or low levels. They want to make a move, but they have too many worries. If they don’t, then this life will be over.
As long as nothing happens, Duan Tieniu will work in the Zhenwuyuan dining room until he is about sixty years old, and then he will stay for four or five years at most, and then retire and go home.
Although the cooks in Zhenwuyuan's dining room are not considered to be court officials, their retirement benefits are still good, almost the same as the retirement of a seventh-grade official. In addition, their children may receive some special care when they pass the Zhenwuyuan exam. If Duan Tieniu has a son, each
The above criteria meet Zhenwu Academy’s recruitment standards and will be given priority in hiring.
In other words, as long as Duan Tieniu's son is not too bad, who can take up his father's class?
Duan Tieniu got married relatively late, not until he was thirty years old. However, his wife gave birth to a son who is now seven or eight years old.
As a father, you don't have to work hard, but you can't let your son lose at the starting line. Although he is not bad at Zhenwuyuan, it is difficult to get ahead.
Duan Tieniu is also a general. He has been doing nothing for most of his life. It's either that he doesn't have ambitions or he just doesn't dare to take that step easily.
Stepping out of the comfort zone and starting all over again is undoubtedly a difficult choice for many people.
Duan Tieniu's social circle is very small. Those who used to be his disciples disliked him for becoming a cook and have stopped interacting with him for a long time. How can he be awesome if he hangs out with a bunch of cooks all day long?
"Brother Duan, if you go to Nanya, I can't guarantee that I will give you a position?" Luo Xing also said the ugly words at the front. Although he has a backstage, he can use it and try not to use it. Using too much is not a good thing.
Son.
"I still have a title. If I fail to make meritorious service in my son's generation, this title will be over." Duan Tieniu said with shame.
"Since Brother Duan has a title, why not join the army and make meritorious service?" Luo Xing was puzzled. If Duan Tieniu had a title, he would go directly to the army. The starting point would certainly not be too low. As long as he made meritorious service, it would not be high.
Are you going to be a cook at Zhenwuyuan?
"My father served in the army and died in battle ten years ago. It was my turn to inherit this title. I am the only son in the family. My mother refused to let me join the army. She insisted that I get married and stay. I
Then we got married, gave birth to a son, and found a job at the Zhenwu Academy. I was straight-tempered and not good at dealing with people, so I was assigned to a dining room. In the dining room, I found some fun, as long as my food was delicious.
, I could make the students like me, so I concentrated on studying the dishes, and the result was that I really became a chef." Duan Tieniu sighed.
"They were originally a pair of heroic hands that went into battle to kill the enemy, but now they have become a pair of ordinary hands that chop vegetables, chop meat, and cook." Qingyi sighed after hearing this.
"Qingyi, you can't say that. It's not easy to make delicious food. You know, in the army, the combat effectiveness of the army depends on the food of the fire-headed army. If the officers and soldiers can't eat well, how can they have the strength to fight a good war?
, win the battle?" Luo Xing retorted.
"The year before last, my mother also passed away, so I had the idea of joining the army, but my child was still young and I couldn't bear to part with it..." Duan Tieniu said.
"Brother Duan, please go back and discuss it with your sister-in-law first. This matter is not a trivial matter. Nanya has many secrets. Once you join Nanya, you will often be out of control, and your family may even be affected by your work." Luo Xing
reminded.
There are quite a few dual-career workers like him in Nanyan. They understand each other because they know the nature of their work, but some may not.
"I heard that if you join Nanya, you can apply for centralized living and your safety is guaranteed?"
"This requires people who have joined Nanya for at least ten years and reached a certain level, at least a captain." Qingyi is familiar with Nanya's rules, "But if you are a special recruit, you can receive special treatment. Since Brother Duan has a title,
According to the rules of Nanya, special treatment can be done."
"Is this okay?" Luo Xing really didn't know. There are many rules in Nanya, some of which are clearly written down, especially those that are established by convention and do not contain any words.
"Um."
"Then according to Brother Duan's situation, what position can be given to him if he is specially recruited?"
"How is Brother Duan's cultivation?"
"Third grade."
"With a title and a third-level cultivation level, the starting point is Captain."
"Captain Cai, can't he just be the captain?"
"The minimum standard for a school captain's cultivation level is the fourth rank. This is to leave room for some people who are not high in martial arts but are outstanding in other aspects. In fact, in actual practice, the minimum standard for a school captain's cultivation level is three ranks, while the lowest level for a general is
Third-grade, in fact, most of them are second-grade, from general to general, second-grade is the lowest standard. If Brother Duan wants to start as a captain, he needs second-grade cultivation to be able to recruit specially." Qingyi explained.
"Brother Duan is currently at the third level of cultivation. If you work hard, if you can reach the second level, wouldn't you be able to directly become a school captain?"
"Theoretically it's possible, but the situation in the Special Investigation Division is different, and the Jing'an Division currently has no recruitment plan. Although Brother Duan from the Intelligence Division has a title, he is a new recruit, and if Brother Duan goes to the Intelligence Division, he wants to be transferred to the Special Investigation Division.
I'm afraid it will be more difficult, and Commander Pei's power is limited?"
"Is this Commander Pei Pei Donglai?"
"Do you know Brother Duan?"
"The Pei family is also a general. I am only a few years younger than him, so naturally we know each other. However, our Duan family has long since declined. My father once served as a flag official under the command of Pei Hao, the Marquis of Wu'an." Duan Tieniu.
said.
"How did uncle die?"
"I don't know the specifics. When I asked, no one told me. Anyway, even if he died in battle, he would be given the pension that should be paid. Originally, the title of my generation would be gone. But after my father died, I inherited it.
Come down." Duan Tieniu said with a lonely expression.
"Brother Duan, what kind of skills do you practice?" Luo Xing asked.
"What I practice is the Vajra Technique passed down from my family."
"Vajra Technique, does it sound a bit like Buddhist Kung Fu?"
"After Buddhism spread to the East, it flourished for a while. My ancestor was once a disciple of Buddhism. Later, he returned to secular life and passed down this cultivation method." Duan Tieniu explained.
"More than three hundred years ago, there was a sect named King Kong Temple in Dongtu Buddhism. Its strength was close to that of a first-class sect. But was it the sect of Brother Duan's ancestor?"
"Miss Qingyi also knows about Jingang Temple?"
"I also read something from the classics. The Vajra Temple is considered to be the largest line of Buddhism in China. Unfortunately, it was later affected by the 'Monk Rebellion' and was wiped out." Qingyi said, "After I found out later, there was no such thing.
We can go back, the Vajra Temple has been destroyed long ago, but the surviving monks and lay disciples are no longer being hunted down."
Luo Xing also read about the "Monk Rebellion" in the classics, but it was not mentioned in detail. It is estimated that many of the facts have been submerged in the historical truth.
"Actually, the real Vajra Art has been lost a long time ago. What I am practicing now can be said to be the residual art."
"Brother Duan, you can change to another skill. You have also served as a teacher at Zhenwu Academy, so you should be qualified to learn a mental skill?"
"Teaching is also divided into three, six or nine levels, and you have to exchange your merits for your mental skills. Although my Vajra Technique is a broken copy, it is also a human and earthly mental method. I can't afford to replace it. I might as well exchange some martial arts.
Yeah." Duan Tieniu explained.
Luo Xing nodded, indicating that he understood.
"Brother Duan, let's not rush to decide. My new move cannot be decided in a day or two. Please think about it carefully first, okay?" Luo Xing said.
"Well, what Brother Qilang said is that I will think about it carefully later." Duan Tieniu said, "Today, you and your siblings are here. You will stay for dinner tonight and I will treat you!"
"No, we're here to trouble Brother Duan. How can we treat you? We're treating you to this meal." How could Luo Xing ask Duan Tieniu to pay for it.
"No, you are not slapping me in Tieniu's face. Although I am not rich, I can still afford a meal." Duan Tieniu insisted.
