Chapter 67

At noon, Li Cangyu had a lunch at the Changshi Office. The Tang people usually had two meals in the morning and evening, but the court provided a free lunch for officials who served in the official office, called "Meeting and Meal".

The food that can be eaten is very good. It has meat, soup and vegetables, but drinking is prohibited. However, Zhang Xu ignored these constraints at all. He insisted on pulling Li Cangyu to drink a little wine with him. He was in a very beautiful mood and laughed endlessly.

Several other envoys told Li Cangyu that you should come to accompany the chief minister as soon as possible. Recently, the long history has been frowning all day long, and has repeatedly threatened the official office like a cage, and has been clamoring to beg for bones to return to Luoyang.

Li Cangyu took advantage of the old man's happiness and asked tentatively: "Teacher, someone asked the students to do some small business together to fill in some expenses. The students were unwilling to do it, but the man repeatedly lobbying. So the students first asked the teacher, is this appropriate?"

"Doing business? It's inappropriate, it's inappropriate!" Zhang Xu waved his hands repeatedly, "You are Jinwu Youzi, how can you do business? If you are discovered, you will be dismissed immediately and will never be hired!"

Li Cangyu curled his lips, but fortunately I asked first!

"Are you short of money?" Zhang Xu blinked, "By the way, how could I ignore this big event? You have no foundation when you first came to Chang'an, so you must be very short of money!"

"This..." Li Cangyu was a little embarrassed, "It's okay, enough flowers, enough flowers."

"Not enough, how can it be?" Zhang Xu said stubbornly, "I remembered that the Chief Secretary Office has to pay you a month's salary for recruits, and you will get it later. I will give you another thousand guan of money, and you can spend it slowly!"

"One thousand-guan?" Li Cangyu exclaimed, one million yuan! I heard it right?

"Isn't it enough?" Zhang Xu was a little confused, "Is that two thousand guan possible?"

Li Cangyu was stunned on the spot. The old man is too generous!

"No! How can I ask for the teacher's money?" Li Cangyu refused harshly on the spot, "This is absolutely impossible! Students are a little short of money, but students will find ways to earn it themselves!"

"You kid, why are you polite to me?" Zhang Xu was displeased and said angrily, "I am so old that I have no place to spend money. I am worried that a lot of money will be brought into the loess and waste it in vain. Isn't it good to help me spend a little on it?"

Li Cangyu smiled bitterly, "Teacher, you can leave it to your children and grandchildren!"

"Hey, don't keep it!" Zhang Xu shook his head, "If the children and grandchildren are incompetent, they will be lazy and wasteful and become even more incompetent. If the children and grandchildren are capable, they will not need to leave money for them."

Li Cangyu was speechless and said it very reasonably. The old man's temperament is really extraordinary and open-minded!

"Two thousand guan is decided like this. I will get you money now!"

"No, absolutely not!" Li Cangyu quickly grabbed the old man and said with a wry smile, "Teacher, aren't you afraid that I will become lazy and hate labor, are you spending money?"

"You? You are not so easily spoiled!" Zhang Xu laughed, "I can't be wrong with my eyes!"

"Anyway, it just doesn't work!" Li Cangyu also came up stubbornly, "Teacher, I will listen to everything else. But this time I can't listen to you, I have to stick to my own opinions!"

"You kid, hey!" Zhang Xu was helpless, turned his eyes and said, "Since you don't want my husband's money, then you always want my husband's name, right?"

"The teacher said, "I want me to sell characters?" Li Cangyu was a little surprised, "Aren't you, you never sell characters?"

"Who said he wouldn't sell it?" Zhang Xu smiled. "If you don't sell it, how can I be idle for half my life and still have a good time and enjoy a good meal?"

"Ah?" Li Cangyu was stunned. Are the legends all fake?

"Yan Zhenqing really doesn't sell words. But look at him, how poor is he? His wife at home is sick, and he has no money to treat her. He has to write a book and change her medicine temporarily. Why bother?" Zhang Xu laughed and said, "Yan Zhenqing is a man who is pure and has no desires, is upright and selfless, and is extremely upright. In the world, I am afraid that few people can get involved."

Li Cangyu nodded, "It's really admirable."

"It is right to admire it. But everyone has their own ambitions, so there is no need to blindly imitate it." Zhang Xu said with a smile, "Look at Li Taibai, he never makes a living in the world, and is very generous and generous. It is common for spending hundreds of thousands of dollars in a month. Where does his money come from? Isn't some people willing to spend a lot of money to buy his poems or ask him to write epitaphs? Have you ever seen anyone use this to mock or criticize Li Taibai?"

"It's really not." Li Cangyu shook his head.

"Who stipulates that literati must be poor and who should not eat a meal?" Zhang Xu said, "There are not the books in the grave dictionary store that are copied all day long? There are also many people who set up stalls and sell characters and paintings along the street. In my opinion, literati sell characters is like farmers selling vegetables, artists selling arts, and they do not steal, rob, or cheat. This is simply understandable. Being able to exchange for wealth and honor with your own talents is even more capable!"

Li Cangyu was happy, "Selling characters to the highest level, probably like the teacher, the princes and nobles came to the door to invite them?"

"Hahaha!" Zhang Xu laughed, "Actually, when I was young, I also took the initiative to sell my words. But it was not because I lacked money, but because I wanted to know what my words were worth? Later, I never did such a thing. Those princes and nobles asked me to write a few words, and the pen was always very generous. If I didn't accept them, I would still be angry. I guess it was because they didn't want to end up being stingy and disrespect the bad reputation of famous scholars. So I had long developed the habit of not accepting everyone, and could save some polite greetings and pushing them around. That's so pretentious!"

"Haha!" Li Cangyu was also happy, "I feel relieved when the teacher said this!"

"Why, do you want to sell your words too?" Zhang Xu was even more happy, "Sell it, sell it! Don't learn from Yan Zhenqing, you have to suffer if you want to be faced!"

"Actually, the students have already sold a purchase." Li Cangyu told Zhang Xu that the matter of Wu Benli being presented with two hundred Persian gold coins.

"This money should be collected. Then Wu Benli got a copy of Yan Zhenqing's original handwritten work, which is really not a loss." Zhang Xu said, "But then, although I don't object to your selling of characters, I have to pay attention to it."

"I'll ask the teacher for advice." Li Cangyu asked with his hands.

"I am not that old-fashioned, and I can't say anything about teachings. I just have a little experience in selling characters by myself." Zhang Xu said with a smile, "Cangyu, you are also very famous. First of all, you can't sell characters on your own. Secondly, you can't sell them everyone. Finally, you can't sell them too hard. No matter which of these three characters are violated, your characters will be reduced. Remember?"

"Students remember, thank you for your advice!" Li Cangyu was so happy. The old man is such a wonderful person and so loving!

"I'm sleepy, take a nap." Zhang Xu yawned, "You go and play, don't worry about me!"

Li Cangyu quickly moved away from the short couch, brought bedding and other items, and called Zhang Xu to sleep on the couch, then walked out quietly and closed the door.

Unexpectedly, the old man was so generous and open-minded, Li Cangyu was so beautiful!

Although it is unlikely to do business, the word selling was given a green light and he also obtained the "Three Skills of Selling Characters" by Master Zhang!

——Okay, from now on, I will sell my words well and make progress every day!

Later, Li Cangyu received a month's salary of recruits, one thousand coins. The people from the Changshi Office told Li Cangyu that the salary of the Shulingshi of the Changshi Office was 1,500, and it will be paid according to this standard every month from now on.

Then Li Cangyu went to the Youjinwu Guardyard again and wanted to ask Hao Tingyu to return the money, but others were not there. I heard that he was going out to handle some cases. After the deacon knew that Li Cangyu was the new Jinwu Youzi, he asked him to go to the Tourism Office to report for the official report and receive some equipment for the Tourism Office.

The Youyi Office is not a formal yamen, and the people in it are of varying ranks, including fifth-rank generals like Hao Tingyu and ordinary patriarchs like Li Cangyu. This place is like a "special operation team". Sixty Jinwu Youyi came from various departments of the Jinwu Guard. They are mostly people with strong practical skills, especially those with specialties in criminal investigation and have been personally recognized by General Li Guangbi.

Jinwu You also has a very generous special subsidy, which is part-time salary, with a monthly salary of 2,500 yuan. This is higher than the legal salary of a ninth-rank official. This also shows that Jinwu You You’s job is special and important.

Li Cangyu suddenly felt that he was under a lot of pressure and needed criminal investigation skills?...I have only watched a few hundred episodes, does Conan count?

The daily person in charge of the Youyuan Department is You Shuai, who is also appointed by a third-rank Jinwu General, but he is not here today. So Li Cangyu first recorded the roster from the office and received some equipment. He came to see You Shuai again the next day.

The so-called equipment is two sets of special spring and summer military uniforms, two pairs of leather boots and two belts, as well as several sets of ropes for people tied to each other, one special ritual knife, two blocking knife, and four sharp boot knife hidden in military boots.

As the name of Siyi, the Yidao is used for ceremonial guards. It is similar to a horizontal knife, but it is much more beautiful and gorgeous than a horizontal knife, and it is also very practical. Li Cangyu's original ordinary military knives were handed over at this time, which was considered to have been upgraded and replaced by equipment.

There is also a big killing weapon, breaking a crossbow!

Equipped with sixty iron arrows.

The official arranged a small single room for Li Cangyu as a private dormitory, and told Li Cangyu that unless it was a special incident, it was generally not allowed to take a crossbow. In addition, if you go out during business hours, it is best to wear a roaming uniform, because a case may need to be handled at any time, and the uniform will be beneficial to the work. Of course, this is not a rigid rule, and it is not a bad idea to go privately on the sidelines.

This is an important way of working in "going", wandering around and picking illegal things anytime and anywhere.

Li Cangyu tried on her uniform in the dormitory, which was quite fit.

The uniform was almost pure black from head to toe, with only a little red edge on the collar, cuffs and brim of the hat. Li Cangyu thought it was quite beautiful, at least a hundred times better than the earthy yellow military robe of ordinary pawns, and much better than the same gray round-neck linen shirt that Shuling made.

Such pure black mysterious clothes are rare in the Tang Dynasty, a country that advocates colorfulness, but it is quite consistent with the solemn and serious work of Jinwuyou. If you go out to do some secretly at night, you can still play the role of "night clothes".

On the left chest of the uniform and on the Sarong martial arts crown, a golden "Jifei Slaying Dragon" pattern was embroidered, which looked pretty. Jaifei was a warrior in the Spring and Autumn Period. It is said that he once slashed dragons. In the past, all soldiers of the Jinwu Guard were called "Jifei", and later changed to "Jifei".

The pattern of the dragon that is not killed is the symbol of the Jinwu Guard.

After changing clothes, Li Cangyu found a big bronze mirror to take a photo... Haha, this man with a monthly salary of 4,000 yuan is so handsome!

I almost couldn't recognize how much I remember!
