The 72nd floor of Gaoyang Tower is ranked lower, but today it is bustling with people, even more lively than Bailun Tower and Pan Tower.
In the bustling crowd, a man in his twenties, wearing a Jian Wang hat and a Jian Wang uniform, walked over. He had a handsome face, a tall body and well-proportioned limbs.
Along the way, others greeted one after another: "Yansanlang, you are here!"
"I'm paying tribute to Yan Sanlang! I haven't seen you for a while."
"Yansaburo, brother really misses you!"
Even the shopkeeper of Gaoyang Tower, who was as busy as a spinning top, heard the noise and hurriedly squeezed out from the crowd. He cupped his hands and said, "Yan Sanlang, the private room you want has been prepared for you. I'll take it to you personally."
.”
In a private room on the second floor, two people were sitting. One was a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old, handsome and resolute.
The man opposite was in his thirties, with a slightly dark complexion. The two of them had just seen this scene from the window.
The young man was unfamiliar with the situation and couldn't help but ask: "Seventh brother, who is this Yan Sanlang? He is so famous?"
Brother Qi ate a peanut and began to explain to him.
"Erlang, this Yan Sanlang is a well-known figure in Kaifeng City." Seventh Brother said with a thumbs up.
"Yan Sanlang, his original name is Yan San, his nickname is Yan Xiaobing."
"Xiao C? C from A, B, and C?"
"Exactly."
"Oh, man," the young man opened the door and shouted loudly, "Add a pot of Shenxianzui, add some salted boiled edamame, and braised duck neck. Seventh brother, please continue."
"Okay! This Yan Sanlang is from Nanjing, no, it is now called Songzhou. He is from there. His parents died of illness when he was a child. When he was ten years old, he came to Kaifeng with his uncle to make a living. First, he met Wei Dali next to Wazi in Xizhou.
Study under Pushe."
"Wei Dali is very good at boxing and kicking. He was originally a sumo wrestler in the Forbidden Army in front of the palace. He was born in a noble family. He has a skill that makes him fall for eighteen times. He has beaten all the invincible fighters in the west of the city. But he is a little too narrow-minded."
"Yan San studied under his disciple for ten years, and he learned Wei Dali's Kungfu thoroughly without saying a word. No one taught him, he just watched from the side and thought about it by himself. He actually knocked Zhanyi Shiba down eight or nine times.
Never leave ten, still be better than the old. In an unintentional fight, Yan San actually knocked Wei Dali down, three times and three times."
"Wei Dali is so embarrassed that he goes around saying that Yan San stole his skills from his master. But everyone knows that Wei Dali's piece of shit Zhan Yi Shiba also learned it from the Forbidden Army. He just hired a shabby scholar to get it from the street.
It's a nice name. Yan San was expelled from the wrestling club, and the sumo club in Kaifeng City didn't dare to accept him for Wei Dali's sake, so he went to work as a clerk at the Eight Immortals Tower."
"Good guy, this is the opportunity. Xing Shu, Su Gui and other traitors framed the official family, fabricated evidence, and forced Yan San to make a false confession. He was beaten to pieces, but he refused to tell anything."
"You really don't want to tell me?" the young man asked back.
"It's true, I won't tell you. The torturer asked him why he had to carry it to death without telling him. What do you think Yan San said at that time?" Brother Qi peeled off an edamame, stuffed it into his mouth and started chewing it.
"How to say?"
"Yan San said, I can't talk nonsense about things that don't exist. It's a bad conscience. Besides, everyone in Kaifeng City knows that King Qin is a good man. He fights against injustice and helps the victims. Last year, there was a flood, and King Qin sacrificed his life.
Jumping into the gap, for whom? Not hundreds of thousands of ordinary people like us!"
"Okay! That's so well said! This is what people want!"
"It's not a good statement! The people who were tortured at that time were speechless after hearing this, and they never wanted to torture Yan San again. Later, Cao Liulang led people to raid the Ministry of Punishment Prison and rescued Yan San. He was a blessing in disguise, and he rose to prominence from then on.
.”
"How can you be so successful?"
"The King of Qin ascended the throne and became an official. He personally summoned Yan San, named him Yan Qing, and arranged for him to join Lixing Society and become the chief steward."
"Li Xingshe is the largest coachman and porter company in Kaifeng City?"
"Not only is it the largest in Kaifeng City, it will most likely become the largest transportation company in the Song Dynasty."
"Brother, this is it, it doesn't count as a meteoric rise."
"Haha, Erlang, you are short-sighted. Do you know who runs the Lixing Society?"
"I know, it was done while the officials were still in the dormitory."
"Then do you know who the first director was?"
"Cao Liulang."
"It is obvious now that Yan Sanlang will soon become the president of Lixing Club. I wonder what president means? The president of a club. I heard that Cao Liulang and Yan Sanlang cut chicken heads and burned yellow paper, becoming brothers with different surnames.
"
The young man looked surprised, "Cao Liulang and Yan Sanlang are sworn brothers?"
"Yes!"
"Cao Liulang, the younger brother of the official family, the police chief in Kaifeng and even the Song Dynasty. Are you sworn brothers with Yan Sanlang?"
Seeing the disbelief on the young man's face, Brother Seven nodded proudly: "Yes, it's him!"
Then he picked up a piece of duck neck and bit off a piece of meat from it.
"Coming! Coming!" shouted outside the building, and then heard panic and yelling.
"Don't squeeze me, you straight bitch, if you squeeze me again, I'll beat you up!"
"You bastard, where are you squeezing in? There are all girls and ladies here, you bastard, just squeeze in this way! Hurry up and get out of the way! The police are right in front. I'll call you.
I'm going to catch you, you thief, and put you in a model prison for a few days."
The two people who were talking about Yan Saburo were awakened.
"Ah, I almost forgot about business. I made a reservation at Gaoyang Tower early today just to take a good look at how much money can be copied from Xiangguo Temple!" the young man said eagerly.
"Straight-hearted thieves, these evil-hearted bald donkeys, chaotic monsters! How can they still look like a monk? They have done all these dirty things, and yet they still have the nerve to worship in front of the Buddha every day!"
Brother Qi couldn't help but cursed loudly.
"I heard that more than twenty women were found in the side courtyard of Xiangguo Temple the day before yesterday. They all borrowed money from Xiangguo Temple and were unable to repay it, so they mortgaged their wives and daughters. I heard that those bald donkeys in Xiangguo Temple not only committed adultery themselves
These women also go out to attract onlookers and do some flesh-and-blood business in the side courtyard. They say that it is the Buddha's money, which cannot be owed and must be earned back. Straight women and thieves! Why don't you kill these lying on the street with a thunderbolt?
The bald donkey in the alley!"
The young man, who was young and energetic and full of passion, said angrily: "If you do evil by God, you can still forgive it; if you do evil by yourself, you will not live. These bald donkeys who deceive the world in the name of Buddha will definitely be severely punished by the law!"
After a while, I saw someone shouting outside the building, "It's just that the special police team came to take over all the gates of Xiangguo Temple, and the officials from the Criminal Department and Yushitai who were searched have not left the office yet! Wait a minute."
Then there were shouts of "straight girl thief!" and "birdie thief!" outside the building, and they quickly subsided.
"Erlang, my uncle is on a mission to Bei Liao and has entrusted you to me. Before he left, he told you that he had found a teacher for you. He is a student of his best friend in the same department and a talented person from the Secretarial Department."
"A talented person from the Secretary's Department?" The young man was a little excited.
Not long after his father took him to his side, he went to Bei Liao as the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple and deputy envoy. Before leaving, he asked his elder brother Qi, who had been doing business in Kaifeng, to take care of him, and he indeed told him
It’s about becoming a disciple.
"He is busy with common affairs, and his position is low and powerful. Whether he is willing to accept you as a disciple depends on his mood. I have made several appointments with Brother Qi, but he is not available. Today, we are inspecting Xiangguo Temple, and he happens to represent the Secretary Province.
We quietly checked on the side. Just in time, we got things done together."
"I wonder which secretary it is?" the young man said yearningly.
After a while, the clerk knocked on the door: "External service, we have a visitor."
The door was opened, Tan Shiji walked in unhurriedly, and saw the young man at a glance.
"Student Li Gang and Li Boji, I have met Mr.
"No rush, no rush." Tan Shiji smiled faintly.
Li Gang's father, Li Kui, was a close friend of his first teacher, Zheng Yigong. He was relatively keen and quickly realized the real intention of the government reform. He wanted to find a "new school" teacher for his son, so he asked him to
Here it comes.
If I were still an ordinary secretary, I could agree to it. But if I am chosen as the principal secretary of Dongyu Study Room, this matter will be difficult to handle.
When he reported it to the officials, the officials were stunned for a moment when they heard the name Li Gang, and then said happily: "Li Sihe is a smart man, both civil and military. Please see if his son is a talent that can be developed? If so,
Just accept him as a student."
That's why I agreed to today's appointment.
After sitting down, Tan Shiji asked: "Bo Ji, have you read it?"
"In response to Mr. Yancheng, this is Bo Ji's favorite book."
The seventh brother said from the side: "Mr. Yancheng, after Erlang arrived in Kaifeng City, he was so fascinated after reading the first copy that he took out all his private money and asked someone to buy the first dozen issues.
There were still several issues left, but he couldn't find them, so he sighed."
Tan Shiji smiled and said, "The official has an edict...In addition to the Chengjun Academy, there is also a Piyong Academy to govern literature, history and poetry; a Guzong Academy to govern calligraphy, painting, and music; and a Lantai Academy to govern the study of geology and objects."
The four schools are all located in Qionglin Garden. At the same time, a Wenyuan Pavilion is built in the middle of the four schools. The books collected by the Secretariat and various pavilions, including newspapers and periodicals published through regular channels, will be collected.
Among them, all the soldiers, civilians, officials and people of the Song Dynasty can go there to read it."
When he is very calm, Tan Shiji does not stutter.
"Really?" Li Gang's eyes were wide and shining.
"This is something for later. Boji, I heard Mr. Sihe talk about you. You are young and smart, and you have read a lot of books. Did you take notes when you read?"
"have."
"Show it to me tomorrow. Have you read it?"
Li Gang shook his head.
"Have you read it?"
He shook his head again.
"Read it carefully when you have time. Ten days later, I will give you two copies of my review."
Li Gang realized that this was Tan Shiji who was testing himself in the school. He quickly raised his hands and said respectfully: "Yes! Students must read carefully and write good comments after reading."
At this time, someone screamed outside the building, and officials from the Ministry of Punishment and Yushitai came to check these bald donkeys!"
There was a bang, and the building was boiling. chapter
