As long as Hou Xiaokang agrees, the Dusi will never return to the Tuntian Division again.

The Wucheng Soldiers and Horses Division is in charge of the public security of the capital. Although there are only three thousand troops, there are many servants who rely on the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses Division for food.

These rogue local snakes have no other abilities, but they are very capable of snooping for information, deceiving, and framing people.

One-third of the food in the Fengtai Camp was supplied by the Wanping Tuntian Division.

Shenwu General Feng Tang had many reasons to trouble the Wanping Tuntian Division on the issue of grain and grass.

Of course, the grain and grass are nominally issued by the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of War, but they are just official documents.

-----

The next day Shi Zhongkui rode back to the capital with Xue Pan and twenty young guards. Jia Lian was seen from a distance outside Huixian Tower. Xue Pan carefully accompanied Shi Guangzhu and said something.

When I got closer, I heard Shi Guangzhu actually saying that he had summoned Niu Jizong, the grandson of Zhen Guo Gong, and Liu Fang, the grandson of Li Guo Gong, and he must drink them down today.

Shi Zhongkui couldn't help but secretly sigh that Shi Guangzhu's insistence on getting himself drunk had probably become his obsession.

But what Shi Zhongkui didn't know was that the one who was really resentful was Shi Guangzhu's biological father, Shi Huaiyong.

But because Shi Huaiyong's precious grandson Shi Huaiji has already become his disciple, Shi Huaiyong cannot continue to be entangled in the issue of losing.

And Shi Guangzhu has always given the impression to outsiders that he is a playboy who does not hesitate to do anything. No matter how messy he is, Shi Zhongkui will not take it out on Shi Huaiji.

But Shi Zhongkui had saved it this time, just to drink these noble disciples down.

If you can't win by drinking, you will have to keep your head down when speaking from now on.

If you still can't win the fight, you may have to go around for the sake of face.

"My uncle is well."

Shi Zhongkui jumped off his horse and saluted Shi Guangzhu and said hello. Before Shi Guangzhu could speak, he grabbed his wrist and said with a smile, "My nephew read Huai Ji's homework sent by the servant a few days ago. He has made great progress."

.

My uncle must help my nephew today."

When talking to a guy like Shi Guangzhu, it’s better to be straightforward than to go round and round.

It's okay if he doesn't understand, but it would be bad if he makes random guesses and makes a mistake.

"This, this,,,."

What has his son been like recently? No matter how irresponsible his father is, Shi Guangzhu can still hear a lot from the wife of the wife, maids, and servants.

When Shi Huaiji was studying, he only memorized 50 Analects of Confucius every day and never memorized a single word more.

But as time went by, little by little accumulated, and I was able to memorize the first article of 493 words.

Not to mention Shi Guangzhu's wife, Shi Huaiyong and the old lady are very happy these days.

As for martial arts, although it is not yet clear what Shi Huaiji's talent is, his perseverance in learning martial arts is indeed commendable.

The only problem is that I hope Shi Huaiji won't get too excited and be led astray by the extravagant atmosphere of the Duke's Mansion after being active for a while.

When Shi Zhongkui used his son to talk about things, Shi Guangzhu stammered a few words and said with some embarrassment, "Don't worry, if Hou Xiaokang dares not to give you face today, my uncle will come to his house to block him every day from now on.

As for Qiu Liang and Feng Ziying, if you dare not agree, from now on, whenever these two boys go out to drink, my uncle will bring people to knock on the door and drink them to death."

Shi Zhongkui was overjoyed. Although the idiot was not clever enough, he usually knew what he said.

And for the sake of face, Shi Guangzhu would really go to the house to cause trouble.

Anyone who drinks with friends every three days will encounter a bastard who comes to fight for drinks, and his head will definitely hurt.

Fortunately, these nobles are worthy of being family friends for several generations. After Shi Guangzhu talked to Jia Lian at the banquet, Hou Xiaokang, Qiu Liang and Feng Ziying all agreed.

Moreover, this group of people is actually willing to have more contact with Shi Zhongkui.

Not only because he is the number one leader of the Six Yuan Dynasty in the world, but also because he has an inseparable relationship with the Ning Rong Mansion and the Tuiguo Mansion.

If you sell him face today, you may be able to ask for your favors from him in the future.

Niu Jizong, the first uncle of Xijue, directly guaranteed that as long as Shi Zhongkui would provide him with food, the young man would serve as a corvee in the Fengtai camp.

After completing the corvée service, it would be no problem to help dig a ditch or build a canal.

Although there is food, refugees and young people can still be recruited, but experienced and inexperienced workers are still different. It also saves the trouble of sending people to recruit workers.

But Shi Zhongkui didn't agree. Many of the soldiers in the field wanted to be a man with enough food and clothing.

There is no need to owe Niu Jizong a favor just because of this.

Of course there was drinking afterwards.

Because of this banquet, Shi Zhongkui's title of Wine Fairy spread throughout the entire circle of nobles in the capital, and then spread to scholars and court officials.

Shi Zhongkui, smelling of alcohol, looked at the servants of each house, put his master or young master on the carriage, and arranged for the embroidered guards to escort him back.

Then he asked Xue Pan and Jia Lian, who were already blushing from drinking, "How is the business of the restaurant these days?"

Hearing Shi Zhongkui ask about the restaurant's business, Xue Pan suddenly showed a gloating smile, while Jia Lian's expression changed slightly.

He sighed and said, "In the past, there were only about twenty people taking care of the restaurant, but now there are more than 60 people.

And the Wang family also sent a shopkeeper over."

After hearing this, Shi Zhongkui lost interest in listening any more.

"Second brother, it's better to sell your share as soon as possible."

Jia Lian shook his head, "I don't know, brother, but at this time, my brother really can't sell it, and he doesn't dare to sell it to outsiders."

Shi Zhongkui was stunned for a moment, and then he understood.

Once sold, the money obtained will inevitably be watched by Jia She, Mrs. Wang and others.

As long as Jia Lian hasn't separated the family yet, he must obediently hand over the money to the public account.

If he dared to sell his members to outsiders, it would be tantamount to colluding with outsiders without telling his parents.

Even a beating would be considered light.

Fortunately, while various restrictions are imposed on children, parents cannot act recklessly.

Even Jia She could only force Jia Lian to give him the shares.

Otherwise, it would have to be handed over to the public accounts, but in this case, Jia She was unwilling.

Therefore, the restaurant's shares are still in Jia Lian's name, and dividends are still no problem.

If nothing else works, I can give half of it to Jia She every month. The old man will definitely be willing to do so.

Patting Jia Lian's arm, Shi Zhongkui sighed and said, "Second brother has a very good character, and there is nothing inappropriate in his treatment of others. He also has the official status of someone who knows everyone from the fifth rank.

It’s better to find connections and find a serious and practical job.”

"How can it be that easy?" Jia Lian shook his head, "The second master is countless times stronger than me. After so many years, he has not been a member of the Ministry of Industry for many years?"

Shi Zhongkui was right when he thought about it. He was from a scientific background, so of course he understood the secrets involved.

A top three Jinshi has the same background as a Jinshi, and most people will find it difficult to reach the third grade in their lifetime, let alone those like Jia Zheng and Jia Lian who were directly appointed by the emperor and bought with money.

But when he rode on his horse to send Xue Pan home, Shi Zhongkui suddenly thought that Lai Shangrong, the son of the housekeepers of Ning and Rong, had donated his official position and then became the county magistrate.

As long as the money is enough, Jia Lian will not be a magistrate or a real power magistrate, but he will have no problem becoming a fifth-grade official.

To put it bluntly, Jia Lian himself did not want to leave Beijing because he could not live without the luxury and prosperity of his life.

Shaking his head and sighing, Gongzi Ruyu does sound nice, but most of them are actually Gongzi brothers who can't endure hardship and are out of touch with reality.

Of course, people do not have to endure hardship, but when the family begins to decline, they appear to be too incompetent.

Jia Lian and Jia Baoyu just watched their family being plundered and had no choice but to do anything about it.

However, the more the Jia family declines, the relationships left by the Jia family's ancestors will not only benefit Wang Ziteng in the future.

The fact that Jia Lian worked so hard to help this time is the best proof.

-----

After taking care of the military attachés of the Tuntian Division, Shi Zhongkui then went to the Ministry of Industry.

I heard that he was just using the name of abusing the company's liquor. After reading a copy of the Dusi of the Tuntian Division in Wanping City, Zou Hengyi, the left minister of the Ministry of Industry, and Gao Yongmin, the doctor of the Tuntian Division, were immediately relieved.

As long as the cover is not lifted, a fourth-grade military officer with a military rank of Du Siguan can be demoted and transferred.

However, Shi Zhongkui also understood that even if he drank the nobles to their knees, Zou Hengyi and Gao Yongmin were secretly happy.

But no matter how you talk about it, it's all about favoritism, and the Ministry of Industry has made a fool of itself.

It's definitely not possible to give away money, so just make a big pie.

Taking out a copy of the memorial from their sleeves, Zou Hengyi and Gao Yongmin looked overjoyed after reading it.

"Is what Shi Hanlin wrote true?"

Shi Zhongkui said with a smile, "My lords, why don't you wait for three months? If the subordinates can't do it then, of course there will be a memorial to prove it, and they will ask for punishment themselves."

"Okay", Zou Hengyi laughed loudly, "If you can really open up 1,000 acres of paddy fields near Wanping City, I will definitely write a letter to ask for your credit."

"Your Majesty, your words are serious. Even if I have achieved some achievements as a subordinate, I have achieved them under the leadership of the Lord Assistant and the Lord Lang."
