Vol 2 Chapter 987: Pit Master

Chapter 987 The Pit Master

Wang Bo has never paid attention to these guards of the Jia family.

Duan Chuliang looked a little dull, let alone attracting his attention.

Human skin as a drum?

Human bones as mallets?

Wang Bo got goose bumps all over his body.

But he needs composure.

He tried to take a deep breath, which is the method Jia Pingan taught.

When you are in anger, remember to take a deep breath.

Fear should be the same.

The guards are watching him.

His eyes are not quite right.

Wang Bo knew that his reaction was too great.

How can it be eased?

He went to ask Jia Ping'an.

"Duan Chuliang really uses human skin as a drum and human bones as a mallet?"

"right."

Wang Bo was stunned.

Such a person can be called a devil, and he can even enter Jia's house?

Wang Bo went to find Duan Chuliang later.

Duan Chuliang sat on the steps, looking at the autumn scenery in a trance.

"Why do you use human skin as a drum?"

"hatred."

"..."

Why hate?

This question is relatively private, unless Duan Chuliang is dispatched to speak out, otherwise Wang Bo is not easy to ask.

Duan Chuliang glanced at him, "What do you want to ask?"

"Why don't you marry a lady?"

"Nobody wants to marry me."

Wang Bo took a look and was startled by his straight eyes.

I was scared, those women must be crazy?

"Killing is no fun."

Wang Bo said seriously.

Duan Chuliang said indifferently: "When your father was dragged to death by the enemy and only a backbone was left, what would you do?"

Wang Bo's face turned red instantly.

He stood up and cupped his hands, "I was reckless."

He said seriously: "You are a hero."

Those who can avenge their loved ones are heroes!

Duan Chuliang shook his head, "The heroes are all dead."

Why?

Wang Bo went to ask Jia Ping'an.

"A real hero... either dies when he is in the battle, or dies when he is shot behind the scenes."

The former mentioned warriors, and the latter should refer to civil servants.

"Sir, the way of being an official...is it hard?"

"It depends on why you are an official."

"Purpose?"

"Yes." Jia Pingan felt that this disciple was a headache, "If you can't find the purpose of being an official, you are a walking dead."

"Then why is Aye?"

You aye…

Wang Fuchou was an official to earn money to support his family.

Jia Pingan suddenly wanted to laugh.

"Is it for the country and the people?"

Wang Bo fell into deep thought.

"Probably so."

Jia Pingan couldn't bear to hit him.

Wang Bo is persevering, "Sir, I, Aye, often go to the office with books. Is this the answer I want to find in the book?"

I really want to say yes, but obviously not...Wang Fuchou fishes at work.

"I don't know much about the following, you can ask Huaiying."

Wang Bo really went to find Di Renjie.

"Take books to the government office?"

Di Renjie obviously felt something was wrong.

"yes."

But Wang Bo felt that his father wanted to use the Confucianism handed down from his family to verify the means of governing the country.

Di Renjie pondered...

Wang Bo felt uncomfortable with this style, "Just say it."

Di Renjie said: "That year I met a small official."

Say it!

Wang Bo looked eager.

"It takes half an hour for the little official to go to the toilet."

"Me too, Ayer."

Wang Bo felt that something was wrong.

"Later when I went to the toilet, I saw him reading a book..."

Shi Zhenxiang? Wang Bo: "..."

"Mr. Jia!"

Yiqi Fei also came.

"Your Majesty summons."

Jia Ping'an just arrived at the gate of the square, and saw a few soldiers talking loudly.

"It's really silver ore! It's so big, those soldiers rushed all the way into the imperial city with it on their backs."

"They said they discovered a mountain of silver in the country of Wa."

Jia Ping'an almost floated into the palace.

Many courtiers have come to the palace...

"Except you are here."

Wang Zhongliang came out, shaking his head very dissatisfied.

These courtiers were all working in the imperial city or in nearby workshops, and Jia Pingan was the only one who arrived late at his home in Daodefang.

"I do my book revision at home."

Jia Ping'an's words are just and strict.

Wang Zhongliang scratched his head, and a piece of dandruff popped out on his fingers.

Our dandruff doesn't believe this.

The hall has now become a sea of war.

"War!"

"The Japanese are rude. How dare they sneak attack on the Tang Dynasty. If the country is not destroyed, the minister will not return!"

"I invite you to fight!"

"The term of the minister is half a year. If the country of Wa cannot be destroyed within half a year, the minister will not leave the country of Wa!"

Who is so shameless?

Jia Pingan was angry.

He strode in.

"Your Majesty, I invite you to fight."

Jia Pingan stood in the middle.

Well!

All the noise has subsided.

The discoverer of the silver mountain in the country of Wa came.

Jia Pingan saw some angry eyes.

The gentry's plan against him is about to fail.

A famous Tang general who discovered Yinshan, you still want to crush him with the Minister of the Ministry of War, you are overthinking.

Ahem!

Liang Jianfang came out.

"This kind of battle must be done by the old man!"

"Your Majesty, I wish to go!"

"Your Majesty, I am willing to lead the army to conquer the Japanese kingdom!"

Silver Mountain!

Uncle Li is a famous pacifist.

His blood was boiling with enthusiasm, and he even raised his arms and shouted, "Destroy the Wa Kingdom!"

Ahem!

People around him reminded him, "Tai Shi Ling, you have never liked conquest."

Li Chunfeng looked him up and down, "This old man only likes to destroy the country."

"..."

Jia Pingan coughed dryly.

Nobody answered.

Ahem!

Twice.

An official next to him frowned and gave him a disgusted look.

Consciously avoid it.

The crowd is passionate!

"The old man just wants to see what the Silver Mountain looks like."

yes!

Who doesn’t want to see what Yinshan looks like.

The key is that the merit of destroying the country is not small, and the merit of seizing the silver mountain can even flaunt the history.

As for young people like Jia Pingan, where are they going?

Jia Pingan took advantage of the time when everyone was taking a breath, stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I said last time that I want to be knighted for military merit."

Dang Dang Dang Dang!

In an instant, many people recalled it.

At the beginning, His Majesty conferred the title of Duke Jia Pingan for meritorious service, but this guy refused, and the queen was so angry that he beat him up. At that time everyone said he was a fool, but now...

I want to be knighted for military merit.

"Silver Mountain... just happened to be discovered by the minister."

The time and place are right.

What about Renhe?

The queen covered her forehead and said, "Yes, Ping An refused the title last time... This is the will of God."

Liang Jianfang was dumbfounded.

People and have!

The three talents of heaven, earth and man work together.

Who can stop?

Before he rejected the duke’s reward, saying that he wanted to be knighted for military merit, this time he brought the opportunity to destroy the country.

Jia Ping'an's luck is so good!

"Your Majesty!"

Li Zhi saw danger in the Queen's eyes.

If the opportunity of this conquest is not given to Ping An...

I'm afraid I lost even three tea leaves.

At this moment, his heart is still in ecstasy.

"The Tang Dynasty is not short of food, but short of money. Where does the lack of money come from? The common people use cloth to pay taxes, and the world uses cloth, spices and other things as coins..."

This painful household has the deepest experience.

Dou Dexuan interrupted the emperor with tears in his eyes, "If there is a silver mountain, I can live for another ten years for the Tang Dynasty!"

The position of Minister of the Household Department is not easy, and he works hard for money and food every day. Look at Dou Dexuan, there are many more gray hairs than when he first took office.

Li Zhi was also moved, "Qing Dou has worked hard these past few years, and seeing the white hair on your head growing day by day, I also feel uncomfortable. But now it's better, Yinshan was excavated, and then Baiyin..."

"Your Majesty, silver can be minted into silver coins." Jia Pingan felt that this group of clubs could use silver ingots as currency.

It’s too bad to use silver ingots, right?

What's the meaning?

Li Zhi was puzzled.

Dou Dexuan didn't understand either.

"Add something to the silver coin."

I don’t need to say more about the extra, right?

"Profitable businessman!"

A sonorous and powerful voice came.

Dou Dexuan was ecstatic, "Wonderful!"

Yan Liben also came to his senses, "Your Majesty, you can't use all the silver coins in silver, that's not appropriate, and it won't last long, you have to add something else..."

The man stuck his neck, "Profitable businessman!"

I'm just staring at this.

Try it if you have the ability!

The official's eyes flickered.

The gentry had to find an excuse if they wanted to make a move.

Now you try again?

"Since you don't know, why object?"

Jia Pingan looked a little guilty.

The official said with a smile: "Silver coins are mixed with other things, and others exchange copper coins or goods at the price of silver. Isn't this a profiteer?"

This reason is unassailable.

Jia Ping'an said calmly: "If the coins are minted at the price of silver, those rich and powerful will sweep away all the silver coins on the market, and then hide them in the cellar for burial or as a gift. to the children and grandchildren.”

This is the norm, and it was this urine before the Warring States Period.

"Those people think that the things buried with them will go to another world with them. If so, wouldn't those places that melted steel throw steel into that world?"

Yeah!

"Those who burn straw..."

Xu Jingzong felt a little overwhelmed.

"The copper coins in those tombs are piled up like a mountain...Why are the copper coins used less and less? It is because of the hoarding of those people."

Don't talk about archeology of later generations, these old ghosts now know that there are quite a few people buried with money.

"What do these have to do with silver coins?"

Officials bite him to death.

Are you a dog?

Jia Pingan smiled slightly, "The real value of silver coins is smaller than the face value, but they are better than silk and spices. With the strong national power of the Tang Dynasty as a guarantee, who would not want to use it? But if anyone wants to hoard silver coins... Dou Shangshu."

Dou Dexuan had already figured it out, and the old man proudly said: "Then he is helping the household department to earn money, and the longer he hoards it, the worse it will be."

"There is another way." Jia Pingan said: "Those people are greedy, so every ten years there is a silver coin exchange, and the previous silver coins must be exchanged before they can be used normally. People's homes are at most a few yuan, and they can go to the nearest government to exchange. But those people have countless silver coins, and when they take them out for exchange...the more they have exchanged, the more depreciation fees they will be charged."

"Wonderful!"

Dou Dexuan was almost dancing, "In this way, whoever wants to hoard silver coins for use will continue to lose money, and the more they hoard, the more they will lose. Xiao Jia, how did you come up with such means?"

is simply an updated version!

"Just think about it."

The official was shrinking back, but Jia Pingan followed persistently, and asked earnestly, "Do you understand now?"

Seigniorage is very common in later generations, but it is a fantasy at this moment.

Officials are dumb.

Jia Pingan asked again, "Do you understand?"

Officials are dumb.

Jia Ping'an suddenly became angry, "When you are criticizing, you are scrambling to be the first, talking nonsense, wishing to make others shut up. You are great, and what you say is correct. But what did you say? If you are wrong, just look at it blankly." Come on, you **** think that you are the emperor, and you can get away with it if you make a mistake?"

Li Zhi felt very relieved, but still glanced at Wu Mei.

When did I say something wrong...Your brother should clean up.

Wu Mei nodded slightly to express acceptance.

Turn back and kick.

The expression of the official remained unchanged.

"Others feel uncomfortable when they make a mistake, and they will blush, but you still have a gentleman's face when you make a mistake, thinking that you are a gentleman? This is not a gentleman, but a hypocrite!"

Jia Ping'an turned around.

Hypocrites!

A voice suddenly sounded, "Good luck!"

"Hello!"

"Hello!"

Speak, it doesn’t matter if I’m wrong anyway.

Do you think you are a keyboard warrior?

You are an official, your words and deeds will have an impact on this Tang Dynasty.

Li Zhi looked at the officials and nodded slightly.

Jia Pingan leads the army!

General Jia walked out of the palace with a footprint on his ass, and saw Li Jingye squatting diagonally across from him.

"Brother!"

Li Jingye got up happily and came over, "You say you are in command?"

"Of course!"

Jia Ping'an was also quite excited.

"I will be the deputy chief executive?"

Li Jingye looked eager.

"roll!"

Li Jingye followed with a shameless face, "Then be the leader of the left wing."

"hehe!"

Let your baby lead the army alone, or the whole army may be wiped out.

Think about this guy in history... He was so full of ambition when he rebelled, but he was defeated in World War I, so he is not expected to be a leader at all.

Fighting is okay.

Jia Ping'an is very busy.

The emperor who is the deputy chief in charge of this battle has chosen...

"Mr. Liu!"

Liu Rengui cupped his hands with a stern face: "I've seen the Chief Manager!"

It stands to reason that Jia Ping'an should call him the deputy chief executive.

Yoo In-gui is also looking forward to it.

"Old Liu."

Liu Rengui said with a straight face, "Please call me the deputy chief executive."

"It's too long, Old Liu."

Old Liu: "..."

"This time His Majesty gave 40,000 troops, I want you to do something right away."

"What is it?"

"Let those brothers rush to Dengzhou as soon as possible. After arriving in Dengzhou, the navy... Yue Te Niang!"

Jia Pingan said angrily: "Where is Wang Keyong? I found it!"

He is now the chief executive, with several officials by his side.

Wang Keyong came, with a look of spring on his face, when Jia Pingan saw him, he kicked him, "What are you doing?"

Wang Keyong hehehe.

"explain!"

Liu Rengui had a cold face.

Wang Keyong said: "Isn't this going to start soon, don't hurry up and sleep with a few women, this time it will take less than a year... Could it be that you sleep with men?"

Liu Rengui looked at Jia Ping'an.

It's time to tidy up!

Jia Pingan kicked again, "Hurry up and gather the navy, 40,000 troops! If something goes wrong because of the navy, Wang Keyong, I can take you alive!"

Wang Keyong thought of Jingguan, and couldn't help trembling, "Take orders!"

"roll!"

Liu Rengui frowned and said, "Military discipline is important."

Jia Pingan shook his head, "It's impossible to bring camp prostitutes with you when you go to Japan."

He also doesn't like the existence of camp prostitutes.

"It will be good when we arrive in Wa country."

Jia Pingan is very relaxed.

Liu Rengui was puzzled, "Why?"

"..."

Jia Pingan didn't answer.

Li Jingye laughed and said: "Although the Japanese woman is ugly and short, she is still fleshy... Seeing the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, I wish I could post it upside down."

Meat?

Liu Rengui couldn't stay any longer, "The old man is going to deploy the army now."

"Old Liu insists on getting it!"

Liu Rengui turned around and said seriously: "Please address me by my official title."

"Understood, Lao Liu."

Liu Rengui stared at Jia Pingan.

"That's all."

I thought you were going to have a fight with me to decide on your title.

Li Jingye asked curiously: "Brother, why do you have to call him Lao Liu? You must know that Lao Liu is easily heard as a cow that plows the land."

"It's nothing, it's a smooth call."

Jia Ping'an turned around and frowned, "Hurry up and talk to the British Duke."

"Brother really cares about me."

Li Jingye was a little moved.

"Ask the Duke of England, save a seed before leaving."

Li Jingye: "..."

He then went to find his grandfather.

Li Ji is juggling.

The horse lance moved slowly, looking quite regular.

Later Li Ji received his merit and asked, "Why are you in such a hurry?"

"Ah Weng, why does my brother insist on calling Liu Rengui Old Liu? Even if he is a little angry, he doesn't care."

Li Ji said lightly: "This is suppression, Li Wei."

Li Jingye sighed, "How can it be so troublesome, how dare he refuse to listen to a severe beating?"

Jia Pingan has a lot to do, for example, he needs to recruit a long history.

Damn, recruit who?

It is very important for Chang Shi to assist him in handling military affairs.

Everyone is waiting to see who he will recruit.

Cui Jian felt that this had nothing to do with him.

After leaving the office, he returned home.

Home is a haven for men to shelter from the wind. No matter how tired and aggrieved they are during the day, they will quietly recede at home. When he walks out of the house tomorrow, he will be a hero again.

Cui Jian entered the house calmly.

"Lang Jun, we have guests."

The guest is Cui Jian's uncle Cui Chen.

The tea was steaming on the desk, and Cui Chen was sitting behind the desk, reading a book in his hand.

He heard footsteps and did not move.

"Meet my uncle."

Cui Chen looked up at him, and said slowly: "Your father left early, it was the old man who brought you up, do you still recognize the old man as uncle?"

Cui Jian bowed, "I will never repay my uncle's kindness."

Cui Chen put down the scroll, and leaned sideways on the desk, resting his right hand on the desk.

"You were a little silly when you were young, and you didn't know when you were cheated by others, so you didn't dare to give you too much money every time."

"yes."

"You have been deceived a lot, and gradually you have the means."

Seeing him respectful, Cui Chen took a sip of tea and hummed.

"I think you have learned a lot from this, but recently you have given me a headache." Cui Chen sighed, "Jia Ping'an proposed to build a new school in the world. Do you know that this is digging the foundation of our gentry?"

Cui Jian was silent.

Cui Chen snorted coldly, "We used to do this in Chang'an City, and it wasn't very harmful. But when the news came that the Silver Mountain was found in the Kingdom of Wa, do you know what will happen?"

Cui Jian said: "Afterwards, new schools will be built all over the world."

Cui Chen lowered his voice, "You and I both know that the reason why an aristocratic family is an aristocratic family is not only connections, but knowledge is more important. How can our family continue to prosper? It is because the best knowledge and the best education in the world are in the aristocratic family. Now that the school is booming, this is the nightmare of our family."

"Saburo!"

Cui Chen got up and walked to Cui Jian's side, and said in a deep voice, "Severed relations with Jia Ping'an!"

Cui Jian raised his head.

"cannot!"

Snapped!

Cui Jian shook his head, "No!"

Snapped!

Cui Jian's cheeks started to become red and swollen, but he shook his head firmly, "No!"

Cui Chen was furious, "Then Jia Ping'an is just using you. You see, he has a good relationship with the queen, so why did he say good things for you? You fool!"

"Lang Jun!"

Cui Jian turned around.

The servant stood outside and said respectfully: "Just now a sergeant came and said that Duke Jia enlisted Mr. Bilang as the commander-in-chief of the army."

In Datang, if you want to get promoted quickly, the best way is to have both civil and military skills.

And officials with military experience are promoted quickly.

For example, Liu Rengui, an official who was not very eye-catching at first, is very popular, and now he has transformed into Jia Ping'an's deputy.

Long history!

Cui Jian's eyes were red.

Cui Chen: "..."
