After Zhou Yuan got up this day, he sat upright on the side of the desk, drinking tea leisurely, but his heart was extremely entangled.

The reason for the entanglement is the person he is waiting for.

Li Kui.

Zhou Yun was born as a Jinshi and was well-educated. Suddenly, he found a child with potential during his tenure. It was not that Li Kui was so smart, but that kind of smart look could not be hidden no matter what. In Yishui County, he probably had no idea about his official voice and political achievements. In the officialdom of the Song Dynasty, there were only two places where he could gain a prominent official voice.

The local and Han people lived in a mixed area, but most of them were under the jurisdiction of the imperial guards. They served as local officials and needed military support, but he did not.

Or in areas with outstanding cultural and educational background, every three years, how many students pass the provincial examination and how many students get the official position of the palace examination.

Neither of these two things can be counted on in Yishui County.

As for benefiting the local area, he also thought. But Yishui County is a place that is short of water and canal diversion is a good way, but the project is huge and not something that a small county magistrate can decide. Moreover, it is mountainous and not much arable land, and the grain production is only enough for local use. He can do nothing if he wants a bumper harvest.

Educational areas are also considered political achievements, but Yishui County is a region with tradition of practicing martial arts.

When the villagers in the south make trouble, they first explain the reason, and then let the respected old man come out to say goodbye. But in Yizhou, before the government is dispatched, everyone resolves the conflict by themselves. Whoever has a strong fist will make sense. Generally, the party who suffers will not sue the official and cannot afford to lose the person. I think that when I have the opportunity in the future, I will work hard to find the place. The people are tough, so don’t expect to reason.

Zhou Yuan once looked at the county case and was quite helpless. All the cases left were big cases, basically all headless cases.

Or if it is affected by disasters, Baizhang Village can rank first in Yishui County in terms of many disasters and difficulties.

Zhou Yuan stayed in the county government for half a month and encountered a case. A useless guy lost the fight. Then the high-ranking officials, the most annoying thing, was that the onlookers were quite disgusted with the victims, and even a perverted person shouted: "Get back and sue the official, it's embarrassing!"

He angrily gave Zhou Yuan a angrily, and almost let the yamen runners hold down the lord who was not interested in the fun and relieved him.

I thought he would have three years of experience in a broken place in Yishui County, waiting for the selection of the Ministry of Personnel, and passed by in a daze. Unexpectedly, he met Li Kui, what should I say? It is smart and intelligent, maybe it is true. If there is no accident afterwards, it would be fine if he accepted Li Kui as his disciple. But this guy went to fight the tiger without any proper work and even beat the tiger to death with his bare hands. Now he is ranked first in Yishui County.

The news soon reached Yizhou. Among the four counties of Yizhou, the bad reputation might be ranked first.

Having a good thing means that good things don’t go out, bad things pass through thousands of miles.

If it was spread to Jinan Prefecture, the capital of Jingdong East Road, it would probably not be able to resist Li Kui's infamous reputation.

If everyone in the world knows it...

Is this a scholar?

So much so that Zhou Yuan regrets it now. If only he wasn't so curious at the beginning, at least he wouldn't have made things difficult for this. The old servant Xu Bo had long seen that something was wrong with his master these days. He had been serving people in the Zhou family since Zhou Yuan was still a young master, and he knew Zhou Yuan well. But he didn't care. Instead, he thought that his master was too worried. After adding tea, he did not leave Zhou Yuan's study as usual. Instead, he waited on the side, and was silent for a while before speaking: "Master, do you have something to do with difficulty?"

Zhou Yuan raised his eyelids, then drooped again, thinking: I, a master of Jinshi, can you solve the difficult things that I have encountered?

This master doesn't believe it!

But Lao Xu didn't wait for his master to speak, so he said to himself: "The master is probably just thinking of accepting a disciple Li Kui, and he will be criticized by his colleagues, right?"

"I am sitting upright, are you still afraid of some rumors? Stop talking nonsense." Zhou Yuan was touched by the thoughts, and he couldn't hold back his face, but he was still stubborn.

Old Xu Youyou said: "The master is a noble man, how could he be ruined by a mountain boy? Especially Li Kui, the child is too ignorant. The master already has the intention of politeness, but he doesn't know how to cherish it, so he actually goes to fight the tiger."

"It's fine to kill tigers! After all, tigers harm the villagers who travel with Baizhang. It's true that they are righteous and not brave! The master is a scholar, so he will definitely not care about these things. He will even be praised by Li Kui's courage. The mistake is that this kid is too shocking. Not only will he beat the tiger to death, but he will be killed by a tiger with his bare hands. If this is spread, Yishui County will become famous, Yizhou will become famous, and even on Jingdong East Road, and it may be spread to the capital city of Bianliang."

What Lao Xu said was not that there was no chance, but that there was only one opportunity. Once Li Kui took advantage of the situation, it would be known to everyone in the world.

For example, the hero who beats the tiger abandons martial arts and follows the literature and is appointed as the Jinshi Zhou Yuan.

With this gimmick, Li Kui's deeds were qualified to make the front pages of the Beijing tabloids and become a topic of conversation for the people of the imperial capital at the center of power in the Song Dynasty.

"He is a naughty man. Could he still be comparable to a famous scholar who is well-known in the world?" Zhou Yuan was arguing. What is Li Kui's identity? What is the identity of a famous scholar?

In the Song Dynasty, an era when people valued literature and suppressed martial arts, only famous scholars were comparable to famous scholars.

Lao Xu knew his master's character well. This was how Zhou Yuan was when he was a young master. Once he encountered something difficult to weigh, he began to think about it. Lao Xu had been serving Zhou Yuan for nearly thirty years, so how could he not understand the nature of his young master?

Seeing that Zhou Yuan didn't say anything, Old Xu smiled and said, "Master, aren't you worried that you will become famous for your children in the future?"

"What nonsense? I am a Jinshi..." Halfway through his speech, Zhou Yuan also became silent. Once Li Kui became famous in the world, he, a teacher, would naturally benefit from it. He would not seek to be famous in the world, at least most of the time in the officialdom can know him.

Unlike now, he has been a Jinshi for almost ten years, starting with a professor in the county school, and is very hard-working. If it weren't for the subsidies from his family, he wouldn't even be able to maintain the decency of officials. Besides, he, Zhou Yuan, is not a three-legged master, and has no poems. Who can remember a classmate who is at the end of the Jinshi list?

Even the department did not know him, and he also hoped that the adults of the Ministry of Personnel and the third department would know him?

Now more than ten years have passed, he has become the magistrate of a county.

It is a county magistrate like Yishui County, which has no achievements. After three years, he is lucky and can climb up one level. If he is not lucky, he may have to go to that small county town to become the herdsman official again.

But if he became famous, no matter how famous he became, as long as he became famous, the adults of the Sansi had heard of Zhou Yuan as a person, and I am afraid he would not dare to say that he would rise to the top. At least one magistrate would have great hope of going to the capital to develop... Thinking of this, Zhou Yuan felt uncomfortable as if he was a thorn in his throat. What if it was a disgrace?

Are you mocking this guy Li Kui for overestimating your ability?

Then he was also affected?

Zhou Yuan, the scholar with the strongest martial arts value in history - Li Kui's brainless teacher.

When Zhou Yuan thought of this result, he was trembling in fear. What if the prophecy came true and became true?

Xu Bo felt that it was almost done and whispered in Zhou Yuan's ear: "Master, what did I hear from me have said? The people know that helping others is helping themselves!"

"Help others is helping yourself?" The haze in his chest suddenly dissipated a little, and Zhou Yuan murmured to himself, instantly feeling the impulse and ecstasy after hearing the famous sayings.

Xu Bo said: "That's right. For you, helping Li Kui is a simple task, but for him it is the greatest help in his life. He will remember your kindness for the rest of his life. And the master can also gain a huge reputation through him. No matter how good or bad, it can at least make adults think of how to be alone with a master. The master just lacks an opportunity to show what he has learned, and opportunities not only require waiting, but also need someone to remember the master! Even if Li Kui is stupid like a cow, the master will only gain and not lose."

Zhou Yuan waved his hand and said, "It's not just that. This kid is very smart. If he finds a famous teacher, he can still make a fortune on the road to the imperial examination. It's just a matter of time."

"So, since that's the case, what else can I hesitate about?" Lao Xu asked back.

Zhou Yuan then made up his mind and nodded, "You are right. Li Kui is a good seedling and worthy of cultivation."

Then Lao Xu was so happy that he left. While walking, he turned around and said to Zhou Yuan: "Master, I'll go and call him in."

Zhou Yuan was shocked to be deceived inexplicably, and he was not angry, but he was very curious. Old Xu was actually bribed by Li Kui. What kind of ecstasy did Li Kui give Xu Bo? He asked Li Kui to wait outside the door, but came to test his master. After Zhou Yuan was persuaded, he called Li Kui into the house. What wasn't this wearing a pair of pants?

As for using money to bribe Xu, don’t be funny. Li Kui is even thinking about the bounty of killing tigers. How much money can he have in his pocket?
