The sky in the east was just white and it was still dark outside. Li Zhang put on his clothes and came to the front yard. He found that most of the people in his family were getting up. Lao Dao, lame and blind people were moving their muscles in the yard, but his eyes kept glancing at the wild dog because the wild dog held a stone lock of hundreds of pounds in his hand and played like a toy. Although they could do it, they could never be as relaxed as a wild dog.

Lu Wu also lived at home. At this time, he moved his body in the yard for a while, and then asked the wild dog to stop and began to teach him a set of boxing skills. In fact, Li Zhang also realized that although Lu Wu had taught the martial arts of wild dogs before, he was still a little prepared, so he only taught the basic training methods of wild dogs. It was not until later that he encountered an ambush by the ghost beggar, and the wild dog tried his best to save his life. This made Lu Wu completely let go of his guard and began to teach the wild dogs some real martial arts.

Martial arts are used to be called martial arts in later generations. In fact, martial arts and martial arts are two different things. "Kung" is a practice method, mainly to increase a person's strength, speed, reaction ability, etc. These wild dogs have natural advantages, and even if others practice hard, they cannot compare to him. "Martial arts" means to exert their physical abilities, knock down or even kill their opponents at the lowest cost. In short, it is a killing skill.

Lu Wu's martial arts originated from the army, namely Taizu Changquan and a set of Taizu Panlong sticks. Although Zhao Kuangyin was not in a proper position, he had to be said to be a martial arts master. He created Taizu Changquan and a set of stick techniques based on his predecessors. Moreover, he was not a person who treasured his own martial arts. He recorded his martial arts and sent it to the army for the soldiers in the army to study, so almost everyone in the Song army knew these two sets of martial arts.

However, it does not mean that everyone is proficient. When learning these two sets of martial arts, some people can fight ten, while others can't even beat a ruffian. Lu Wu's martial arts are quite superb. Even if he is placed in the army, he is a rare master. Now he is very serious in teaching wild dogs. Wild dogs are also quite talented in this area, and a set of punches is also full of murderous aura.

Lu Wu and the Wild Dog were practicing boxing here, but Lao Dao and the other two stopped moving and stood by watching. Seeing them nodding repeatedly, they seemed to be very satisfied with the Wild Dog, which made Li Zhang feel moved. In the future, they had to find a way to teach their unique skills to the Wild Dog.

"Brother, can I really do it? What if something goes wrong?" At this moment, Douzi suddenly came to Li Zhang with a look of anxiety and asked. Although it was still early at this time, he and Li Yonghe and others had already had breakfast and were about to leave for the Jingcang grassland in the east of the city. In the future, Li Yonghe will be the head of the grassland.

"What's wrong? The entry and exit of the grassland is fixed. You just need to record these entry and exit items in detail according to the accounting method in our store. Remember to bring the account book back to the evening and I'll check it for you!" Li Zhang patted Douzi's shoulder at this time and said, "Among these children, Douzi is the smartest and learns the fastest. Now the account books in the store are all from him, so Li Zhang asked him to help Li Yonghe and also exercise his abilities.

"Young master, according to the rules of each yamen, the account books cannot be brought back to the private house, otherwise it would be not good to be caught!" Just as Li Zhang finished speaking, a gray-haired and old official came over and said with a smile.

This old official was named Qiu. He was originally an unsuccessful official in Xiangfu County. He had been in trouble for decades and was still the lowest clerk. Lu Wu and he had known each other for a long time. He thought he was pretty good and was honest about official affairs, so he recommended him to Li Yonghe. Lao Qiu was also ecstatic about this opportunity. After all, Jingcang grassland has more prospects than a small county government, so he ran around during this period and almost became the housekeeper of the Li family.

"Oh, you should have a solution to Lao Qiu, right?" Li Zhang asked Lao Qiu with a smile.

"Actually, it's simple. At worst, I can just let Douzi copy another copy as a copy. The young master burned it after reading it, so no one else could catch any handle." Lao Qiu said with a smile. This old man was a personal talent. He had long seen that although Li Yonghe in the Li family, Li Zhang was the real leader, let alone Li Zhang was still the prince's companion to study, and his future was bright, so he has been cursing every few days.

"Ah? I have to copy it again?" Douzi's face collapsed when he heard this. He regretted it now, and felt that it was better to stay in the store.

"Just think that you have practiced calligraphy, and you can write numbers directly, and don't mark Chinese characters anymore, so that ordinary people can't understand it." Li Zhang immediately spoke again. Arabic numerals have not been circulated yet. Now, except for him and Douzi, the children, others cannot understand it at all.

Hearing Li Zhang say this, Douzi can only nod and agree helplessly. In fact, Li Zhang is also thinking about Douzi. After all, the way out for business is still too small, and the father and son also need help when entering the officialdom, so now he began to consciously cultivate Douzi, and even Huozi and others. As long as they are willing, he can find ways to get them into the officialdom.

At this time, Li Yonghe was also ready, and immediately called Douzi and Lao Qiu. The group got on the donkey cart that had been prepared long ago. The donkey cart was newly bought by the family, so that Li Yonghe would go to the grassland in the future.

"Yunhe, now you are already an official. Don't bet anymore. Do your work well, don't give it to me... Don't be embarrassed!" At this time, Lu Wu walked up to him and said earnestly. However, when he said the last, he paused for some reason, and a look of silence appeared on his face.

Today, Li Yonghe was wearing an official uniform and her beard was also trimmed very neatly. At this time, he heard Lu Wu's words and nodded solemnly: "Brother Wu, don't worry, I will never mess around again!"

When Li Yonghe said this, his eyes also looked at Li Zhang, opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but he still couldn't say it. Instead, Li Zhang took the initiative to speak: "Uncle Wu said everything I want to say. There are many things in the pasture, so you should also pay attention to your health!"

"Yeah!" Li Yonghe's nose was sore when he heard Li Zhang's words, and then nodded heavily. Although Li Zhang had many ideas about his official career during this period, he always felt that there was a gap between him and Li Zhang. However, this cannot be blamed on Li Zhang. After all, he was sorry for Li Zhang's brother and sister first. It is not easy for Li Zhang to do this step now.

It was getting late, and Li Yonghe and others finally drove away in the donkey cart. Li Zhang also went to have some breakfast at this time, because according to the agreement, the carriage that picked him up to Zishantang was almost here. It was said that Li Zhang's companion was much better than Li Yonghe. Although he had no grade, there were carriages coming and going, and there were signs for entering the palace, so he could enter and exit the palace at any time.

Sure enough, just after Li Zhang had breakfast, the carriage that he picked up in the palace came. Li Zhang immediately got on the carriage. Although the carriage was protected by two imperial guards, Lu Wu was still worried, so he let the blind follow him and waited for Li Zhang to enter the palace and he would come back.

After saying goodbye to Lu Wu and others, Li Zhang sat in the carriage and looked at the streets that were becoming lively outside the window. The official house he rented was located in the area of ​​Xijiaolou Street, not far from Wuqi Street, which also made it convenient for Li Zhang to visit the shops on Wuqi Street from time to time. As for Huozi and Chou Niang, they did not live here because they had to take care of their business.

The carriage walked a few hundred steps along Xijiaolou Street and came to Yonglu Street. This street is located on the south side of the imperial city. It follows this road around the imperial city and finally comes to the east side of the imperial city. Then it turns to Gaotou Street next to the imperial city and heads north. Finally, it passes through Donghua Gate to enter the imperial city. That's right, it is the Donghua Gate that posted a yellow list after the imperial examination.

The imperial palace of the Song Dynasty did not have a special East Palace like the Tang Dynasty, but there was an important place on the east side of the imperial city, that is, the Zishan Hall for the prince to study, which is the destination of Li Zhang today. Next to the Zishan Hall is a place called Liushang Bureau. The so-called Liushang is actually the Shangshi Bureau, Shangyao Bureau, Shangyi Bureau, Shangshe Bureau, Shangcheng Bureau, and Shangnian Bureau. It is mainly responsible for the emperor's daily life.

At this time, the sun had just risen. When Li Zhang got off the carriage and entered Zishan Hall, he found that it was actually more like a large garden than a school, with rockery ponds everywhere, winding paths and paths everywhere, and you may get lost if you are not careful.

"It's really corrupt. Zhao Zhen had to build such a big garden if he studied alone. The courtyard I lived in was so shabby than here!" Li Zhang looked around while walking, and muttered in a low voice. Zhao Heng had built many palaces when he was in power. Originally, the palace of the Song Dynasty was very small and the buildings were very simple, but when Zhao Heng became the emperor, the entire palace was almost renovated by him.

In addition, the Yuqing Zhaoying Palace where Liu E summoned him last time, Li Zhang only felt familiar with it at that time. Later, he remembered that the so-called Yuqing Palace was also built by Zhao Heng, and the person in charge of the construction was the famous treacherous minister Ding Wei. In order to build this large-scale palace, Zhao Heng spent hundreds of millions of yuan of copper coins, which was almost the total fiscal revenue of the Song Dynasty in two years, and it was even comparable to the Afang Palace of Qin Shihuang.

In addition, there is an important thing in the Yuqing Palace, which is the Heavenly Book that Zhao Heng directed and acted by himself. No wonder Li Zhang felt that there was a religious atmosphere when he went to Yuqing Palace last time. In fact, it was a combination of the imperial palace and the Taoist temple.

Li Zhang followed the eunuch leading the way through numerous corridors and finally came to a delicate cold house built on a small lake. The so-called cold house is actually a summer summer summer room. It is usually built by the waterside. The water truck next to it lifts the water upwards and then flows down from the roof to reduce the temperature in the house. It is almost summer now, especially at noon, so Zhao Zhen also moved here to study.
