After leaving the imperial city, Du Zhongxiao was a little depressed. He did not show any military talent in Beizhou. Why did everyone want to change his military position when he came back? According to Chen Zhizhong's statement just now, even the emperor had the same meaning, and things were a bit difficult to deal with.

The Gongyuan envoy took Yaojun to change his civil service to a former vocational rank. Chen Zhizhong said it well, and the promotion was unprecedentedly strong. If he accepted it himself, he would make some contributions and be promoted casually, and he would become a middle- and senior official. If he had the opportunity to fight against Dangxiang in Shaanxi, he would have exchanged his civil service after the war, and he might have become a servant at the age of 30 and could have touched the jurist's side at the age of 40.

But now is not the time to fight. The meaning of going from the emperor to the priest is to work in the military ranks for the rest of your life. How can this be done? Not to mention that those with low status of military generals are not as fast as those of civil servants, the promotion speed is even worse than that of civil servants, and the future has a better future.

Looking at the sun in the sky, Du Zhongxiao shook his head and sighed. He clearly had a bright future in the position of civil servants. He just took the exam before the New Year, so why did he get this situation?

If the court was really determined like this, Du Zhongxiao could only accept it. Even in this era, officials were unorganized and disciplined. It would be even more powerful to retreat for decades. If the court did not accept the arrangements, there were beheads during the Taizong period. Although he would not beheaded at this time, it would be common to beheaded against the court and be stamped into another account, and all futures would be ruined.

The more I thought about it, the more depressed he became. Du Zhongxiao changed into casual clothes, went to a small tavern near the inn, walked in, and got drunk to relieve his worries.

He chose a pair of heads to sit down, looked at the counter inside, and the huge wine jar next to him, and a middle-aged woman selling wine stood next to him. This familiar scene made Du Zhongxiao feel familiar. Once, Han Yueniang also sold wine like this at home, and she carried a small basket to sell sheep's hooves. Now, when I think about it, I suddenly didn't feel bitter, but instead felt a warmth.

The servant came over and said with a smile: "How many guests want to come? What kind of dishes are they used?"

Du Zhongxiao said: "Half the strong wine comes and bring it to you after it is warm. If you have any cooked meat, cut it into a plate and bring it to you."

The servant shouted ok, returned to the counter, and soon brought the wine and meat. Du Zhongxiao drank it himself, drank three cups, and sat there bored. Suddenly he regretted it, thinking about military merits a little earlier than the New Year, why did he go to Beizhou to do it?

At this moment, three big men came in from outside. Before the cold was gone, the three of them were wearing single clothes and didn't seem to feel cold at all. There was a young man in his twenties who rolled up his sleeves and showed his flower embroidery.

In the past, I watched TV, especially in "Water Margin", I remember that people in the Song Dynasty liked tattoos. The nine-patterned dragon Shi Jin and the prodigal son Yan Qing were all wearing flower embroidery, which was very beautiful. In fact, in this era, there were not many ordinary people tattooing. In addition to criminals, soldiers stabbed military names, ordinary people rarely messed with themselves. Of course, there was an exception, that is, when encountering natural disasters and man-made disasters, the family got separated. In order to facilitate future searches, they would tattoo characters on their bodies, usually on their backs. The famous later generations, such as Yue Fei, the four words "Loyalty to the Country" on the back, and another one was close, which was Wang Ze of Beizhou. His mother stabbed the character "Fu" on his back, which was said to be supernatural.

Like flower embroidery, it is often a sign of a person, that is, a idle man in the city. In the words of later generations, he is a social person. It is like a big gold chain with a small gold watch, a bald big flower arm indicates a kind of identity. A flower embroidery and a red flower inserted on his temples are also a sign of a society person in this era.

The three of them chose to sit down with their heads, and a big man slapped the table and whispered: "Master, just come up with wine and meat!"

The servant shouted OK, but soon after, he brought a plate of meat and a pot of hot wine on their table.

The three of them poured the wine and drank it together, without using chopsticks, grabbed the meat on the plate and just ate it.

After a breath, the young man who showed the flower embroidery said, "It's so unlucky. I'm waiting for the day before the Han Mansion today, but I didn't see that guy coming out."

The man next to him said, "The Han Tutor has taken a vacation and has been enjoying his life at home these days. I know how we are waiting outside, so how can we come out?"

When Du Zhongxiao heard this, he guessed that these people were probably boatmen on the Bian River, and today they went to block Han Jiang again. Pulling fibres is a job of strength, and those who are thin can barely pull them, but unless they have special relationships, their companions cannot tolerate them. With the same wages, if you don’t contribute, others will have to contribute more.

The water flows smoothly in the Bian River, and the wing army is the one who pulls the official boats, which is different from the boatmen in the mountains and streams. The court also needs shame and does not squeeze these people well. They eat well, mostly big men. Unlike the boatmen in many places, they are like beggars, dressed in rags and have no meat on their bodies. Moreover, the boatmen on the Bian River have some extra money, so they will give some rewards to the boats in order to move faster. If they don’t give money, they will slowly pull them, which will kill the people on the boat.

The three big men drank a few glasses of wine and sighed together when they talked about the opening of the river.

One said: "We go to block the Korean officials every day, but it is just a resentment. What's the use? The court has decided on this matter and will definitely not change. Eight or nine out of ten people will lose this life in the future."

The young man Huaxiu said, "If we cut off our life path, we will not let these dog officials live a better life! If we have nothing to do, the court will definitely give away some rice, and we will barely starve to death. We will definitely lose our salary. It is better to make a big deal than living such a life!"

After hearing this, the other two hurriedly said, "Brothers are silent! Now the king of Beizhou is besieged in the death cell of Dali Temple. If you say such words, if you listen, it will not kill us!"

After saying that, he looked around and saw that several guests were nearby people, and no one paid attention to what they were saying. There was only one Du Zhongxiao, who was wearing casual clothes, looked like an official, and couldn't help but take a few more glances.

Du Zhongxiao just pretended that he didn't hear it and drank his own wine. These people even said the rebellion, so don't mess with them.

Seeing that Du Zhongxiao was not moving, the three of them turned around and continued to speak.

One said: "Now, other things are false. I just hope that the court will not be too distorted and find some food and clothing for us. But I heard that not only our Fiber-Ticket Army on the Bian River, but also the Fiber-Ticket Army on the Sanmen Baibo have been cut together."

Another person was shocked when he heard this: "The danger of the human gate is to use the wing army to pull the fibers. Many ships are destroyed and killed every year. I heard that three of the ten ships could not pass through the wing army. Without the wing army, how can we transport goods to Shaanxi Road?"

"Hmph, do you think the only car and ships are the ones who grab our jobs? A few years ago, there was an official named Du on Hedong Road. He made a big truck, which was cheap and easy to use. And as long as you use a normal horse-drawn cart, you can pull five hundred kilograms. The court opened a road beside the people's door. The three-door Baibo Shipping Envoy prepared a thousand large trucks, and the goods were changed to land! With the big truck, the boatman would be useless,"

After hearing this, the young man Hua Xiu slapped the table suddenly: "These dog officials, with the salary of the court, do not want to do things for the people, will come up with such bad ideas and seize the job! If such dog officials are in front of me, I-"
