Chapter 211: Recruiting and Buying Horses (Part 1)
At what point... I snorted and then snorted: "Hmph, I, Wang Shikun, at least I have read books seriously and have a good foundation. Last time I went to help you send a letter to Xie Dasicheng, and after asking me a few questions, I naturally saw my talent. After a while, what's so strange about someone borrowing a few books to me?"
"Oh, it's nothing strange." Xu Xun originally asked Wang Shikun to send a letter to make him feel good. He didn't expect that the No. 1 young man in Jinling could really do this, so he was naturally happy, but he couldn't joke at this time, "What are you going to do after borrowing a book? Should you go to the Imperial College to study hard, or do you plan to become a teacher and go to the imperial examination to show your strength?"
"Bao, how old I am? I'm crazy when I go to pick up the stepping stones of the eight-legged essays at this time? Humph, I told Xie Dasicheng uprightly that as long as I really learn some knowledge and principles, I'm not studying the eight-legged essays. The old man praised me for my lack of profit, but also gave me some advice on which books I should read. As for the Imperial College, I am not like Xu Xu who only seeks a future and strives to be the best in this place. I am used to being free and not wanting to suffer the blame for that life. But now I have a good relationship. If I have a son in the future, how can I be a great scholar and become a famous teacher? I will come back from the top scholar, but I won the glory of the ancestors, right?"
puff
Xu Xun was listening to Yixun Mandousiri drinking tea. When he heard the last sentence, he finally couldn't help it. He sprayed the tea far away and then choked and coughed continuously. After finally stopping the cough, he put down the tea cup and pointed at Wang Shikun and said, "You are your life... If Xie Dasicheng heard you, he would be so angry that he would blow his beard and glar at him?"
"You think I'm stupid, so you should be more tactful. I'm sincerely telling Xie Dasicheng, I only regretted not meeting famous teachers when I was young, but only met some bad friends. I hope that when I have children, I will be able to teach such a great scholar like Xie Dasicheng. Although the old man did not say that he would agree or not, he has already published [the first release of Baidu Tieba] and retired once and twice. At worst, he will return to his hometown. I will take my son to his hometown to worship Mr."
"My eldest son Wang, I really believe you!"
Facing the righteous Wang Shikun, Xu Xun, who was both angry and funny, said that he was willing to give up the disadvantage, but he knew in his heart that if Wang Shikun had no real skills, he would definitely not impress the priest of the North Supervisor. It was just that this was Wang Shikun's own business, and he didn't need to ask the bottom of it. After the gossip, he turned to the point.
"I came today to ask you something about Brother Wang. I think you have heard about the big reading of the school in Xiyuan today [the first release of Baidu Tieba]. Although I was also the commander before, it is much more legitimate than before. Besides, with the five hundred people in front of you, it is easier to do things. What I want to ask you is, I remember that you have a head of a hundred households, and are you willing to transfer to the forefront of the government army?"
Wang Shikun was stunned when he heard this. With the title of the No. 1 Jinling young man, he could certainly be rampant in Nanjing, but who would respect him as a real upper class? For the sake of a irrelevant Duke Ding, he followed Xu Xun to Beizhuo, naturally to bet on luck. Now it seems that he is very lucky, and even the prince has seen it, let alone touching Xie Feng with a few articles he wrote when he was young and his sincerity. However, he knew very well that he could not have the determination to endure the imperial examination from scratch for more than ten years, so he joked about his son who has not even even his horoscope.
Therefore, the transfer proposed by Xu Xun to the front of the mansion was a shortcut in front of him! But it is easy to board Xu Xun's boat, but his three-legged skills should not sink someone else's boat!
After thinking about it, he simply spread his hands alone and said, "Brother Xu, I'm going to hide it from you. I have to agree to this suggestion of 1,000,000, but I have to tell you that I learned how to fool people with my guards when I was a child. If I really want to fight, I will be in a mess. I can't ride a horse, and I can pull the bow, but the accurate head is not very good. I can't make it for ten or eight years in the imperial examination, but if I practice martial arts, I can't practice it again in ten or eight years! If you drag your back, I should die!"
If Wang Shikun agreed without saying a word, Xu Xun would have to think twice. But when Wang Shikun said this, he couldn't help but feel that this friend was not connected. He smiled and said, "Since you said this, you obviously treat me as a friend! I'm not afraid to tell you that I am not good at martial arts, but practicing military force is different from practicing martial arts. In three or two years, I am confident that I can practice two tricks. Let me tell you this, the title of the vanguard of the government army is now raised, and many nobles are moved.
But now I can't let them get into a big mess, so I have to make some momentum. If you don't come and suffer a little, the brother-in-law of Duke of Wei, let the people of Liu retreat. Where can I establish my authority?"
"Ah, it's true that you are planning to raise the tiger's skin to make a big banner!" Wang Shikun slapped his head suddenly and then understood. After thinking about it carefully, he nodded happily, "Well, since you say that, I will listen to you. Who wants your head to be good? After all, you will not get any benefits when you hang out with you? But if you want to establish your authority, you won't be alone at me, right?"
"Of course! I have to bring others in addition to you. In this way, you come to my house the afternoon of the next day!"
After making an appointment with Wang Shikun, Xu Xun sat for a moment and left Fangyuan of the Duke of Wei, and then turned straight to the Duke of Dingfu Street. Xu Guangzuo inherited the Duke of Dingfu three months after his ex-Dingfu Xu Yongning passed away, and is now filial to his family. However, after July 7, no one saw foreigners and other rules, he was naturally thrown behind him.
At this moment, Xu Xun came to see him at night. As soon as he reported to him, Xu Guangzuo immediately ordered to invite someone to the study. When he met him on both sides, Xu Guangzuo could not help but praise Xu Xun's excellence during the Xiyuan essay today.
Xu Xun's first five hundred households, three of them were recommended by Xu Guangzuo, so he did not intend to be humble in front of this person. He said his purpose straight to the point: "Duke Dingguo, now I have received the seal of the vanguard of the government army, and the remaining soldiers will gradually be trained. These teams were not enough before, and the military position was too low. Now, no one will question the name of the vanguard of the government army, so in the past few days, I think many nobles will be moved."
"What you mean is to let me Dingguo Xu family..." Xu Guangzuo came out. After a test, he saw Xu Xun smiled but did not answer. His heart was as bright as a mirror. He immediately slapped his thigh without saying a word, "I Dingguo Gong Mansion will definitely not be allowed to be subordinate to you. In this way, my eldest son is too old, and he is also eye-catching. My second son is exactly sixteen years old and it is just right to enter the army to train. Moreover, Brother Xu's military management methods are just right, so please train me for me."
Speaking of this, he didn't care whether Xu Xun had not yet agreed, and quickly walked to the door and shouted loudly: "Come here, come and call the second young master!"
Not long after, a respectful voice came from outside: "Master, are you calling your son?"
Xu Guangzuo glanced at Xu Xun, very satisfied with his son's behavior outside, and immediately called someone in. Xu Xun on the seat saw a boy of similar age as himself. Perhaps because of the visitor, he had a plain satin coat, a silver crown, and a pair of deer-skin boots on his head, looking a bit heroic. After the boy saluted Xu Guangzuo, Xu Guangzuo smiled and pointed at Xu Xun and said, "This is the prince of Xing'an, who leads the avant-garde hand seal... Well, just call Uncle Xu... Brother Xu, this is my second son Xu Yanche."
Uncle Xu!
At this moment, not to mention Xu Xun was shocked, even Xu Yanche was dumbfounded. But the latter glanced at his father and bowed to the ground honestly. However, before his uncle could speak, he was helped up by Xu Xun.
"Don't listen to your father. If you really call out my uncle, I can't sit still." Xu Xunfu turned around and sat down, then looked at Xu Guangzuo and said, "Okay, you'll invite the second young master to my house the next day. I have to give some instructions first. After all, you have to pass the Ministry of War first."
"well."
Xu Yanche didn't know where his father called him out to show the guests. Seeing that his father didn't let him go, he simply stood beside him, looked at his father and Xu Xun, and his ears were raised to listen to the conversation between the two. When he finally understood the meaning of this, he couldn't help but be even more surprised. Until he saw Xu Xun go out and saw that someone was on the horse and left, he hurried to Xu Guangzuo and asked, "Master, are you going to send me to the forefront of the government army?"
"Why, aren't you happy?" Xu Guangzuo glanced at his son and said solemnly, "I know what your mother meant, and she was thinking of being the same as your uncle. You have [the first launch of Baidu Tieba]. It would be easy to add a hundred households in two days, but these idle jobs are not as good as those of the vanguards! Now the vanguards of the vanguards are the sergeants of the Eastern Palace, and there is a great chance of showing their faces in front of the Prince's Hall. If you miss this village, there would be no store! If Xu Xun and I hadn't made a good relationship, would this good thing be our first turn?"
Of course, Xu Guangzuo would not know that it was not his turn to do this good thing. Moreover, Xu Xun left Dingfu Street and still did not return home, but rode his horse forward. Even if there were military personnel patrolling in the capital at night, it was not peaceful at first, but Xu Xun was in the places where the powerful lived, so naturally he met only soldiers and no thieves. At this moment, he stopped in front of a large mansion and knocked on the door at the Xijiao Gate to report his name. After a while, the closed door opened. In addition to the two doormen carrying lanterns, there was also a man in charge.
"I don't know if it's the prince's visit, it's really negligent."
