As soon as he heard that Cai Qi was writing a letter to Pang Ji, the old servant stopped trying to persuade him.
Pang Ji is a good friend of my husband, so it would be out of etiquette if he were to write the book for me.
Even if Pang Ji learns the truth and won't say anything, the etiquette cannot be abolished!
After thinking for a while, the old servant took a step back.
"Then Mr. Sir, you have to write more slowly. If you get hurt, remember to stop."
"Uncle Qi, I know."
Pang Ji is currently assigned to Kaifeng Prefecture Soldier Cao Shenjun. Although he is only assigned to the seventh rank, Pang Ji is still a selected person and has not yet been changed to a capital official.
But after all, Kaifeng Prefecture Soldier Cao Shenjun was an official in the Beijing Prefecture. If he could sit in this position, he was basically not far away from changing his official position.
Cai Qi had no doubts about Pang Ji's future career.
Not to mention that Pang Ji was inherently excellent and proficient in the law, and his personal relationships were also not bad.
After Pang Ji became a Jinshi, he was selected by Bian Su, a famous minister at the time, and became Bian Su's son-in-law.
Bian Su was a Jinshi in the fifth year of Taiping and Xingguo (980). He, Xiang Minzhong and Wang Dan were all Jinshi in the same gang, and they had a good relationship.
After becoming Bian Su's son-in-law, Pang Ji naturally inherited his father-in-law's connections.
For example, when Pang Ji joined the army as the manager of Huangzhou, he had a good relationship with Xia Song, who was demoted to Huangzhou.
Xia Song admired Pang Ji, partly because of Pang Ji's personal ability, but also because Pang Ji was Bian Su's son-in-law.
Although Xia Song and Bian Su were not directly related, Xia Song and Wang Dan had a good relationship. Wang Dan valued Xia Song very much and promoted him many times.
With this relationship, Xia Song would naturally treat Pang Ji differently.
In addition, Pang Ji and Li Zhi were both sons-in-law of Bian Su, and they were brothers-in-law, and Li Zhi was of the same age as Lu Yijian's uncle, Lu Mengzhou.
These relationships may seem inconspicuous at ordinary times, but when they are really used, they are a force that cannot be ignored.
Apart from blood relatives, marriage is the most intimate relationship.
Marrying each other is an important means to keep a family prosperous.
After all, no one can guarantee that a family will be able to produce talents from generation to generation. If you can’t find talents within the family, then you have to look for them outside.
The world is vast and talented people are everywhere.
Talented people have emerged from generation to generation, and every imperial examination is an opportunity for aristocratic families to choose a son-in-law.
This is how the tradition of catching a son-in-law comes from.
In the aristocratic era, the criterion for selecting a son-in-law was blood; in the aristocratic era, the criterion for selecting a son-in-law was family status; in the imperial examination era, the criterion for selecting a son-in-law was personal talent and learning.
In later generations, the standard for choosing a son-in-law is _____.
Although the standards are different, the essence is the same, for the continuation of the family, for the continuation of the bloodline, and for the prosperity of the generations.
At sunset, the old servant promptly lit the oil lamp for Cai Qi. Seeing that his husband was still writing a letter, the old servant whispered.
"Lang Jun, you have been writing for nearly an hour, why don't you take a break?"
After hearing this, Cai Qi came back to his senses, turned around and saw that the sky was getting darker, and he couldn't help but feel dumb.
It was extremely difficult for him to write this letter.
As the number one scholar in Dazhong Xiangfu for eight years, Cai Qi's talents and learning are among the best in the world. The letter was difficult to write, not because his arm was injured, but because the letter was difficult to write.
How to achieve your own goals without letting your friends get involved is very important.
Cai Qi didn't want his friends to get involved in the ensuing turmoil because of his relationship.
After a while, Cai Qi put down the brush in his hand, and then burned the letter in the eyes of the old servant in surprise.
He decided that it would be better not to write this letter.
With Pang Ji's character, if he knew his situation, he would probably stand on his side without hesitation.
"Mr. Lang?"
Seeing Cai Qi suddenly burning the letter, the old servant couldn't help but be shocked.
Cai Qi smiled slightly and did not explain the reason. Even he didn't want to involve Pang Ji, so how could he let Uncle Qi worry too.
winter!
winter!
At this moment, the call from the concierge suddenly came from outside the door.
"Mr. Lang, we have a visitor. He claims to be from Beijing."
After hearing this, Cai Qi and the old servant looked at each other, and both of them understood that the person who claimed to be from Beijing was probably the person who protected them before.
"Uncle Qi, please go to the door to greet Yi Er."
"good."
About ten minutes later, the old servant hurried back to the inner courtyard. Seeing Uncle Qi coming alone, Cai Qi couldn't help showing a little surprise in his eyes.
Fortunately, the curiosity in his heart did not last long. The old servant walked quickly to Cai Qi and said solemnly.
"Lang Jun, there may be trouble in the near future. Han Yishi reminds us that it is best not to go out during this period."
"Yishi Han asked me to tell you that a lot of people seem to have been sent over from Beijing."
Cai Qi nodded calmly.
"I see."
Cai Qi was actually prepared for this.
Changing places, if the person he sent to assassinate the minister disappears, he will definitely find him at any cost.
As the art of war goes, know yourself and your enemy, and you can fight a hundred battles without danger. If you can't even figure out the local trends before the war begins, half of the battle has been lost before it is fought.
Whether it's life or death, people should at least see it, and even if it's not possible, they should know what happened.
Once you know the situation, you can be prepared to respond.

Funing Hall.
Nowadays, the outer court is in turmoil over the reform of the Tea Law. Ding Wei's party took the lead in promoting the cash law that was briefly implemented in the second year of Tianxi.
However, the revenue from tea is an important source of finance. Even if Ding said that it was powerful, he could not make a decision with just one word.
The reason for the opposition's opposition is also very simple.
You say the tea method is bad, where is the evidence?
Have you investigated?
Have you ever visited the site?
Ding Wei was definitely prepared for the investigation, but on-site visits were not something he could do alone.
Therefore, the tea method is easier to discuss, and even after a year and a half, there is no result.
Li Jie is not interested in getting involved for the time being. Since they want to quarrel, let them quarrel first.
Instead of participating in this meaningless political debate, it is better to do more facts.
Although Li Jie does not have the account books of the third company, it is a recognized fact that the financial situation at this time is not optimistic.
A redundant situation of redundant officials, redundant soldiers, and redundant expenses has taken shape.
The three redundancies have been formed for a long time. Li Jie has not yet taken charge of the government, and the military power is not in his hands for the time being. With redundant officials and redundant soldiers, it is really not appropriate to act rashly.
However, one thing is possible.
There are still opportunities to reduce clan expenses.
It is said that when a person attains Taoism, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven, Song Taizu becomes the emperor, and his lineage will naturally benefit from it.
All sons of the clan are supported by the imperial court. When the sons of the clan, except the eldest son, reach the age of three, the court will provide them with food and clothing. When they reach the age of seven, they will be named, appointed officials, and receive salaries.
Although the regulations were like this, the rewards were abused in the implementation process, and many members of the clan began to receive their salaries when they were still in their infancy.
At the beginning of the founding of the country, the number of clan members was small, so it didn't matter if there were more rewards.
However, more than sixty years have passed, several generations have multiplied, the number of clan members has expanded rapidly, and the expenses in this area have also become more and more.
