Chapter 59

"That's how Zhongcheng agreed?"

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 couldn't believe it for a while.

"Why don't you agree?"

Zhang Xing put his legs that were said to be unable to use his qi on the table, and while flipping through the files in his hand in the big back chair, he chatted with Qin Bao who was waiting for him to get off work. "Do you think I was just joking that day? If this thing is really made, it will really be of great benefit to Wei..."

"I know, I know." Qin Bao sat down a little uneasy. "As soon as the black list comes out, anyone who can use some words to stir up gangsters' internal strife will be hugely profitable. But the white list..."

"That's what you think." Zhang Xing kept flipping through the documents without looking up. "As soon as the white list comes out, there will be infighting in the rivers and lakes, internal friction between practitioners, serious gangs confronting each other, and the children of the aristocratic families will be brave and fierce at every turn. This is a good thing for the court. The benefits outweigh the disadvantages... The court can't wait for these white list heroes to die. , What is so difficult to understand? It is the list of talents, which is more convenient for the imperial court to win over talents. Your son ranks first in Hebei's list of talents. Sooner or later, he will be expropriated, why did your Bai clan enlist him? Do you have evil intentions?"

Qin Bao sighed slightly: "But if that's the case, Brother Zhang isn't afraid of being hated?"

"Who bears the grudge, how to bear the grudge, who to bear the grudge?" Zhang Xing said disapprovingly. "The essence of this matter is that the imperial court wants to grasp more social information. This is the instinct of the imperial court, and it is also the basis for the smooth progress of this matter. It is a natural trend of information processing to classify levels and categories. I am just a matter of opinion. Interesting technical document, the sky is falling because there is a black tower on top... If they are dissatisfied, they should go to the court, at least to the black tower, why bother targeting me, a Jing'antai Baishou who is not out of the field?"

"That's true." Qin Bao looked frankly at the black tower clearly visible outside the window. "Since I have made Jinyi, how can I care about these things... Even the inspections are just fun."

"Okay, let's go."

As Zhang Xing spoke, he also put down the Chinese book in his hand, but tore off a note next to him, and picked up a pen to write a few words.

Qin Bao looked at it curiously, and went to see that it was written clearly. It said that although Aunt Gu of Hongshan was also fighting a tiger, she only had a small victory or defeat with the tiger. Sun Sanniang of Jiangxia from the giant crocodile suggested that Sun Sanniang be nicknamed Sanzhangqing (the name of the boa constrictor), which would be No.

"Brother Zhang is still helping arrange this?" Qin Bao was very surprised after reading it. "I thought it was a joke last time..."

"Several black ribbons in the black tower are inspecting face. They see that I am an advocate, so they often communicate with me. They are regarded as non-staff consultants. It is already settled for you and me to be on the list." Zhang Xing put it away. When the paper was pinched with printing wax, someone called out again. "Xiao Gu, is Xiao Gu here?"

While talking, a handsome servant with a white face flashed in from outside the door, and hurriedly cupped his hands: "Zhang Baishou."

"Give this note and these two documents back to Chen Heishou in the tower. After handing them over, you can pack them up and let them go. I'm leaving too." Zhang Xing said, standing up without waiting for the other party's reply. It turned out that he directly picked up the cold cup and left with Qin Bao who had already flashed out the door.

It can be seen that the life of this white-shouldered communal animal is really comfortable.

In a blink of an eye, the summer heat has dissipated and autumn is getting stronger. The flowers and trees along the way are green and yellow, reflecting the afternoon sun in the pool, and mottled with some fallen leaves and flowers. It is a beautiful scenery.

Chengfufang where the two lived was separated from Jing'an Terrace by a pool, which was already customary, and there was no need to walk, so Zhang Xing walked back with Qin Bao with iced tea.

However, one thing that is very obvious these days is that there are more and more colleagues greeting on the road, and there are even a lot of black ribbons waving from a distance, which makes people imagine.

"They are all well-known players in Taichung." After crossing the bridge, crossing Tianjie, and entering the Beifang Gate of Chengfufang, Qin Bao finally spoke again. "In fact, they all understand the truth of this list, but they still want their own ranking to be higher... I heard that there are red ribbon inspectors who specially give gifts to those black ribbons in the black tower."

"What's the matter? Fame and wealth have been attached to 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 walked around with his hands behind his back, calmly. "That's what the two of us said right now. Didn't we just get excited about being close to the water and being able to be the first to be on the list to be the top of the list? When the future list comes out, the two of us will be ten times more famous. It can't be said that we are better than the previous A person's reputation is even higher."

Qin Bao hesitated for a moment, then shook his head slowly: "I think Brother Zhang San is different from us in this matter."

Zhang Xing was slightly surprised, but glanced at the other party slightly: "How to say?"

"I and the others are really worried about gain and loss for this matter... It's the patrol inspection, who says it's funny, but actually has a grudge against Sima Erlong... On the contrary, it's Brother Zhang, you, who seem to care about rankings, He shouted that it was funny, and he was still worried about his promotion, but in reality, he didn't seem to really care about it." Qin Bao said cautiously. "Third brother, if you don't ask for money, don't care about fame, and don't care about official career, then what do you care about? Is there really nothing you can't let go of?"

Zhang Xing pondered for a while, and replied seriously:
"I've really thought about this. Tell me, is it possible that I care about everything and I'm too greedy, so I seem shallow everywhere? Or maybe it's because I read too much, and I am so ambitious, whether it's fame or fortune. Regardless of success, success, or salary, they all seek the bigger and higher ones...so I don’t care about these things right now, and I always feel like I’m stepping on a stepping stone?"

Qin Bao nodded, but couldn't help laughing: "That's right, but isn't this the so-called ambition? It's a bit similar to Li Ding, the Silang of the Li family who has been frequenting recently."

But at this point, Qin Baofu restrained his expression and sighed: "Brother Zhang, all of you are great heroes who want to do great things, great heroes."

Zhang Xing shook his head and smiled rightly: "If you, Qin Erlang, are surrounded by great heroes, have you ever thought about what you are? Could it be a toad?"

Qin Bao was taken aback for a moment, then laughed out loud.

The two finished their daily business exchanging, and had already arrived at the cross street in the square, and were about to turn around, but unexpectedly, the well pavilion on the cross street was full of people at this time, so they moved forward curiously.The two were dressed in brocade clothes with embroidered knives, one of them was a white ribbon, he came directly, and naturally dodged from the left and right, but when he got closer, it turned out to be a conscription notice.

After about a scan, each of them understood clearly, so they retreated directly and headed home.

But after walking only a dozen steps, Qin Bao finally came to the entrance of the alley. Qin Bao was an inner beauty, knew the advantages and disadvantages, and was young, so he couldn't bear it, so he couldn't help but sighed in a low voice:

"Eastern Capital City is bustling now."

Zhang Xing was also clear in his heart and could only nod his head.

It turned out that the two of them saw clearly just now that the conscription order was written simply and directly, but it was a huge military and political order that was expected and unreasonable.

The reason why it is expected is that the 20 people in the second expedition to Dongyi were almost wiped out. Although the troops of the general manager of Xuzhou and some of the navy fled back, the Central Plains, the Eastern Border, Hebei, and the most important part of Shaanxi The Luo Mansion army was completely wiped out, and the upper five armies, which had always been called the elite of the Eastern Capital, were also completely wiped out.

But when it comes to reason, they only set up 12 people in the local area, and then they have to directly pull up a [-] people directly under the Imperial Guard in the Eastern Capital.

Of the 12 people, 8 of them were collected from Zhechong mansions in various parts of Guanzhong in the form of backup mansions, which is still a typical Wei mansion.However, the remaining [-] Royal Forest Guards actually recruited brave and courageous soldiers directly from the world under the banner of restoring the Fifth Army.

This is directly abandoning the Wei Mansion, which was entrenched by the big clans, and changing it to recruiting soldiers.

This action itself is a bit earth-shattering but without the meaning of fireworks. One can imagine how many bloodless confrontations there have been in Nanya for this matter.

And you don't need to think about it, you know that the [-] so-called elites who are well paid and 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 expensive. If the order is thrown out at the right time, I'm afraid it will really add fuel to the fire.

This year's autumn and winter, Jing'an Terrace is quite busy.

But when he got to the door of the house, Zhang Xing thought about it again, and he became proud again—these people just use their dog's brains to care about their own business. He is now a high-end social animal sitting in an office, which is different from those outsiders.

PS: I slept late on the weekend, and woke up at 11:30, sorry, sorry... Happy weekend everyone.
