The soldiers in the field would definitely not dare to go against Gao Yongmin. The so-called soldiers were either nobles or military attaches of high rank.

Normally, these people would not dare to confront civil servants and superiors, but Gao Yongmin's words obviously meant that although the nobles and military attachés listened to him, they lost face because of drinking.

So much so that when the soldiers were doing things, they were not convinced by him.

If you want to convince the military attachés, you must be stronger than them.

Secondly, if a civilian officer drinks him down every three days, the general will not be convinced even if he wants to.

Once you avoid drinking and go to banquets, everyone will understand that it is no different from surrendering.

A dozen days ago, Shi Zhongkui would have been unwilling to go to the Ministry of Industry if he had not received any merit, let alone work with an honorable man who liked to cause trouble.

But the field soldiers are different again.

The field soldiers are also soldiers, they are also soldiers who carry swords, guns, swords and halberds, and can wear armor.

Working in the fields when farming is busy, and training soldiers in spare time, both of which are very easy to achieve results.

And it won't face the risk of foreign enemies like the border troops.

When it comes time for even the troops stationed in the field to go into battle, the situation is already very serious.

At that time, either he should hide, or he should seek someone who would immediately make him a marquis and his wife.

Even if you are a civil servant and cannot receive a hereditary title, at least your promotion will be countless times faster.

Second, using farm space to develop new rice seeds during farming is not only a sufficient reason to do this, but if it is really successful, the outside world will not doubt this or that.

After all, this is his job, and he can gain huge merits. It will also be much easier to get promoted.

Even if you are promoted too quickly, it will threaten the status of your superiors. As long as your official position is the sixth rank, once your huge reputation and credit are transferred to others, you will start as the fifth rank governor.

Blessing a place is also a meritorious deed.

Shi Zhongkui, who wanted to understand this, thought in his mind that he was stuck with agriculture.

At the same time, I thought, farming is actually not bad. The emperor liked it and the gentry also welcomed it.

If he had been more tactful, had money to clear the way, and his merits were indeed there, he would not have been promoted too quickly.

"Thank you, Sir, for your support. If the student is lucky enough to pass the imperial examination, he will definitely report to his subordinates."

"Hahaha", Gao Yongmin laughed and patted Shi Zhongkui on the shoulder, "The good nephew's actions are beneficial to the country and the people, and he will definitely be able to go to high school."

"I hope so," Shi Zhongkui said without showing any proud expression on his face as he bowed his hands and said, "However, I still need more praise from adults."

When Gao Yongmin saw this, he was even more satisfied. No Shangguan would like an exaggerated and talkative person.

"My dear nephew, please remember not to be burdened by your reputation before the college examination, provincial examination and next year's general examination in August. Once the method of raising fish in rice fields is successful, my dear nephew has actually obtained the ladder to heaven, so you need to be cautious and low-key."

."

"Students understand." If Shi Zhongkui understood this, once fish farming in rice fields was successful, the limelight would be huge enough.

There are definitely many people who are jealous and have ulterior motives. If they say something that they shouldn't say, their whole life will be ruined.

"Well," Gao Yongmin couldn't help but laugh when he saw Shi Zhongkui's serious face, "My good nephew looks very much like your master, Mr. Pang. I'm really worried for nothing."

"The adults' caring heart will always be remembered by the students."

"Very good", everyone likes to hear good words, not to mention that Gao Yongmin is very optimistic about Shi Zhongkui's future. After these words reached his ears, they seemed even more pleasing to the ear.

Then I sighed in my heart, it was really disappointing to miss such a talented person.

He was about to ask Shi Zhongkui if he was married, but as soon as the words came to his lips, he reacted.

Bringing up the topic of marriage before the relationship is in place will inevitably appear to be deliberate and ulterior motives.

However, no matter how much he said about Shi Zhongkui's future, he would only remember his gratitude.

"My good nephew, when he is studying behind closed doors, don't forget to visit his neighbors for a walk."

Shi Zhongkui was stunned and immediately thought of the Yang family next door and Yang Wenqin who was in the Ministry of Rites. The imperial examination could be said to be the most important and greatest authority of the Ministry of Rites besides royal memorial services.

He saluted Gao Yongmin solemnly and said, "My kindness will be unforgettable to students."

And when his behavior was seen by Yu Honggao, who had just walked out with a group of guests, Yu Honggao's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Bastard Gao Xuqing actually took advantage of someone's absence to take advantage of my disciple's ideas.

Yu Honggao was anxious, but he didn't show the slightest expression of dissatisfaction on his face. He smiled and said to Gao Yongmin and Gao Xuqing, "Your Excellency is not here, so I have no intention of continuing to drink."

Gao Yongmin knew as soon as he heard that there was dissatisfaction in Yu Honggao's words.

If the two of them were not determined to be masters and disciples, they would try their best to offend Yu and seize Shi Zhongkui as his disciple.

But the deal was already done, and even though Pang Shitong had resigned for many years, his connections and reputation were not small, so it would be unwise to continue to entangle him.

"Brother Wei is so happy to see that he is a hunter, so I can't help but give Nephew Shi a few words about his career. Brother Song Xian, please don't blame me for being too talkative."

Yu Honggao and the others were stunned, and then felt relieved when they saw Shi Zhongkui nodding slightly.

Then he saluted without hesitation and said, "How can I blame the adults? Instead, I need more adults to support me."

The atmosphere relaxed immediately, and then a dozen squires and housekeepers realized that their nephew had been drunk by Shi Zhongkui alone.

"There are so many good nephews, no, this is the wine spirit descending to earth."

This statement immediately made everyone burst into laughter. After the laughter was over, they felt that this statement was absolutely correct.

Many people have never heard of one person drinking down a dozen young men.

"Shi Boqian, if you can finish these three jars of Dukang, my brother will write to your father-in-law and borrow Wang Youjun's copybook for you."

Wang Youjun must be talking about Wang Xizhi. When Shi Zhongkui's eyes lit up, Yu Honggao shouted to Yu Tongfu who had just discovered his biological father and everyone.

"Nonsense, drinking too much will harm your health, let alone five jars of Dukang."

Yu Tongfu immediately bowed to the ground like a quail, "My child is in trouble."

Shi Zhongkui wanted to win over Tongfu. After all, even if the copybook of the calligrapher was a copy, it was a family heirloom and could not be easily revealed to others.

But Yu Honggao had already spoken, and if he went against his will again, not to mention ancient times, not many people in modern society would be so stubborn as to slap the teacher in the face in front of everyone.

Even if others want to watch the fun, drinking is not a competition for literary talent. If Shi Zhongkui had to drink, it would not only be as simple as offending others.

"Bo Qian, can you have a few more drinks?" Gao Yongmin laughed, "My nephew hasn't offered me the wine yet, so I propose to limit it to 3 drinks, okay?"

With just three cups, Yu Honggao had no reason to persuade, nor could he disobey Gao Yongmin.

Blinking at Shi Zhongkui, he was worried that after three drinks, there would be no end.

Shi Zhongkui knew what Gao Yongmin meant. He definitely didn't want to see himself make a fool of himself, but wanted to confirm whether he really had an alarming amount of alcohol.
