Chapter 10 Primer

Your promotion report was rejected by the court, saying that Weizhou had no war with Xixia in recent years, and the sergeant could not be promoted without reason. Lu Da, your promotion cannot be done. The seedling teacher said to Ruda with a look of regret. Lu Da grinned, saying that if you can't do it, you will be defeated, and I don't care about this broken title, so he turned around and walked away swaggeringly. But when Lu Da was about to go out, the plantation teacher stopped him again. Lu Da turned around, Xiao Zhong asked briefly, I heard that your money is a little tight recently, go to the accountant and ask the steward to support your salary, a single man still has to learn to manage his life.

Lu Da said, Mr. Xiang, where did you get the news? I only won a few hundred taels of silver last month, which is not bad. After finishing speaking, he turned and walked out of Jinglue Mansion. The sun of Weizhou City shone viciously in the sky, making Lu Da's eyes hard to open. After going out, Ruda did not hesitate to "greeting" the damn weather. He was on fire with the bad weather. He decided to go to the teahouse to drink a pot of Longjing tea to relieve the fire. In the teahouse, Lu Da met Jiuzhilong Shijin, which finally put Lu Da in a good mood. He admired this young muscular guy very much, and of course he admired the green dragon that had written on him even more.

When friends meet, how can they be short of wine?Ruda said that it would be nice to have a drink in a tavern. When leaving, a careful observer will find that Lu Da did not pay for the tea (later, he went to the restaurant with Shi Jin and Li Zhong, and he also reneged on the bill). In front of Xiao Zhong Jinglue, Lu Da is just a boiled duck with a hard mouth.During the Xuanhe period, life was not easy for the Ludas.Although Zhao Ji, the boss of the empire, made repeated orders not to default on the wages of the soldiers, especially the Northwest Army that dealt with the deadly enemy party members for the empire in the northwest, but the above policy could not be implemented. Skimp.

Lu Da hadn't received his salary for three months, and he was always lavish with money, so it was quite normal to have an economic crisis, so it wasn't because he wanted to rely on the little money from teahouses and restaurants, it was really a last resort. In Pan's restaurant, when they were drinking happily, Jin's father and daughter made an episode, which changed Lu Da's life. Lu Da couldn't figure out that the title of "Town of Guanxi" was actually given to a merchant who sells meat. In the Northern Song Dynasty when the commodity economy was developed, the status of a butcher shop owner was definitely higher than that of ordinary sergeants.In the empire at that time, there were butcher shops in every major city, and the scale was not small. The butcher shop owners usually did not do the work themselves, but hired three to five to ten guys (Zheng Tu hired a dozen guys).They have their own division of labor, some are in charge of wide cutting, some are in charge of batching, some are in charge of thinning, and some are in charge of knives. They not only sell raw meat, but also sell cooked meat.Each butcher shop can sell more than ten pigs (five or six heads) every day, and dozens of pigs are sold during the winter solstice, Spring Festival and other festivals.

A pig butcher's pocket is so bulging, which reflects the pitifulness of the five taels of silver in Lu Da's purse. Lu Da was angry not just because of the wine. He wants to punch the town of Guanxi—you are rich, let you have a mistress, let you pay usury. Zheng Tu died unjustly. The entire criminal case proved that he was just a businessman in his own right. , Er had never mixed in the Tao, and basically had no skill, so Lu Da killed him with three punches.As for the economic and emotional disputes with the Kim father and daughter, the judges will not be able to tell how true and how watery the lyrics of the Kim father and daughter are. Just imagine, if the singing girls were replaced by Yan Poxi, Hei Songjiang would definitely become the town of Guanxi.

After three punches, Lu Da's anger disappeared, and his military career came to an end. There is an original version of the story of Lu Da punching Zheng Tu in history.When Guo Wei, Taizu of the Later Zhou Dynasty, was still a soldier in Luzhou, he was drunk in the street market and bravely killed a butcher, which shocked Luzhou city at that time.But the world was in chaos at that time, and whoever was ruthless was the real hero. Li Jitao, the director of Luzhou at that time, admired Guo Daxia's skills very much and called him to his tent. Guo Daxia began his brilliant life from then on.

It's a pity that Lu Da was born in a peaceful and prosperous age. No matter how authoritative the seed teacher is, he would not dare to let a murderer serve under his account. End of the world escape life. The earth is round, the mountains do not turn, and the water turns. In Luda, Yanmen, I met the Jins and their daughters again. After Ms. Jin escaped from Weizhou, she soon got a job again, and she was still a mistress. Compared with the first failed career as a mistress, Ms. Jin caught a wealthy son-in-law this time.Zhao Yuanwai, a local rich man from Shanxi, can generally be described as a young man with a lot of money, and he basically obeyed Miss Jin, so Lu Da temporarily found a place to stay.

During the days when he was idle in Zhao Lao Cai Zhuang, Lu Da often went to see Jin Lao Er for a drink and a chat. Seeing Miss Jin again, the two felt a little strange.Heroes and beauties are both in the same group. In Weizhou City that day, one was frightened and the other was filled with righteous indignation, and they didn't have time to taste these feelings.It's different now, full of warmth and lust, it's normal for Ms. Jin to occasionally have a life-saving grace that can't be repaid, and it's normal for her to give her body. In Lu Da's eyes, Ms. Jin is no longer the poor, slightly attractive girl in the Weizhou Tavern. Little girl, she is so beautiful now that Luda is uncomfortable.

Old man Jin has been in the rivers and lakes for many years, so he can naturally sense the strangeness between the two of them. He knows that if the two of them get along, Mr. Zhao will probably have more green hats on his head. It doesn't matter if Mr. Zhao wears a green hat, the key is I'm afraid my God of Wealth will fly away. Although Lu Da is kind to his father and daughter, and Miss Jin is affectionate to Lu Da, these are nothing to eat. The old man Jin was cruel, and ran to Zhaojiazhuang to report a false news, saying that Lu Da's identity had been leaked, and the police would soon arrest him.

Ruda had no time to lament that the happy time always goes by too fast, so he packed his bags and prepared to go on the road again. Zhao Yuanwai, a young man with a lot of money and stupidity, pointed Lu Da to another road - Mount Wutai, and gave Lu Da a big gift - a Duyi (it is called Wuhua Dudi in "Water Margin", but in fact it was only called It is Du Di, and Wuhua Du Di is the name of the Southern Song Dynasty). In the Northern Song Dynasty, monks did not just become monks at will, but the government had to issue a practicing license, which was called a degree certificate. Being a monk was a very prestigious and promising occupation during most of the Northern Song Dynasty. Firstly, he no longer had to undertake labor and military service; secondly, he received preferential treatment from the law. "Xuanjian", if you commit a crime, once you enter the temple, the government will make the big thing minor, and usually don't pursue it; the Sanlai temple owns a lot of land, and it is a disguised landlord. As a monk, you basically have no worries about food and clothing.In addition to not being able to enjoy the sex life of normal people, the temple is another paradise.

The government is not stupid either. Since there are so many benefits to being a monk, it can't just issue a practicing license in vain. Let's buy it with money.The price of Duyi is publicly marked. During the Shenzong period, the price of a Duyi was 130 guan. However, due to the different economic conditions in different places, the prices in different places vary. In Sichuan, it can be sold for 300 guan. , in Guangxi, it can be sold for 650 Guan. What is the concept of six hundred and fifty strings?At that time, about 650 shi of rice could be bought (1 city jin in Song Dynasty was 640 grams, 1 shi equaled 92.5 song jin, and 650 shi of rice was about 76,960 jin of rice today). That is to say, the value of a monk's practicing certificate (degree certificate) at that time ranged from 30,000 to 150,000 yuan. This gift from Zhao Yuanwai was indeed not light, how could Lu Da refuse? Since then, Wutai Mountain has gained a monk named Hua, and Lu Da has a new name——Lu Zhishen. There is no wind or rain in Wutai Mountain, and of course there is no wine, let alone women. These are not the most important, the most important thing is that Lu Zhishen can't bear the loneliness. The mountain is empty, but his heart is not empty. His mind is not empty either, sometimes he thinks about the glorious years in the Northwest and those brothers, sometimes he thinks about the beautiful and affectionate Miss Jin. So his stomach was not empty, and he often used it to pack wine and sometimes dog meat. As a result, Lu Zhishen became the most troublesome monk flower. In the end, the presiding elder Zhizhen was disappointed, and told Lu Zhishen that this is a place of pure cultivation and there is no room for you, so let's go! Lu Zhishen said to Elder Zhizhen in confusion, there is no place for me in the world, where can I go? Zhizhen handed him a letter, saying that this is your transfer document. Lu Da took the envelope. He couldn't read much, but he could still recognize four words on the envelope - Daxiangguo Temple.
