Chapter Eighty-Seven: Fame, Beauty

Seven days later!

Li Man, who was far away in Liaodong, received a letter from Li Yang's order!

After reading the letter, Li Man was not angry but happy, and laughed heartily: "Stinky boy, when you grow up, you know how to rob women!" ”

Fu Zhu frowned slightly, thought about it, and said with a little worry: "The second son has a straight temperament and is not good at being flexible, this is the way to take trouble!" ”

Li Man sighed lightly and said helplessly: "I know what the public wants, wait for me to repair a book, reprimand Ah Leopard, and teach him to know the truth of being a man!" ”

Frustrated Professor shook his head helplessly, knowing that Li Man was just casually talking, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, this kind of thing, Frustrated Professor can't manage it, and he doesn't bother to care!

"It's about the Yuan family, Ming Gong must not take it lightly!" Tian Feng reminded him!

Li Man nodded and said, "I want to exercise the right of the state pastor and raise the Yuan family as Maocai, what do you think?" ”

"It's... It's not a solution! Fu Zhi and Tian Feng glanced at each other, sighed helplessly, and said in unison: "Ming Gong is wise!"

In Li Man's opinion, with the quota of a Maocai, in exchange for a woman who loves his son, this transaction is really profitable!

But from the perspective of Frustration and Tian Feng, this deal is simply a loss!

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty accepted Dong Zhongshu's suggestion to "depose the hundred schools of thought and respect Confucianism alone", and took Confucianism as the mainstream ideology, and took the familiarity with the Confucian classics as the criterion for evaluating talents, which made the selection of officials have an operational premise, so the inspection system was established!

The inspection system of the two Han Dynasty is mainly divided into three sections, filial piety, talent, and virtuousness!

Counties with a population of less than 100,000 are recommended one person every three years, counties with a population of less than 200,000 can recommend one person every two years, counties with a population of more than 200,000 can recommend one person every year, and large counties with a population of more than 400,000 can recommend two people every year.

Every year, the number of filial piety produced in the country seems to be small, but this is already the main way for civilians to enter the officialdom, Cao Cao, Yuan Shu, Gongsun Zhan, Xun Yu, Jia Xu and others in the Three Kingdoms period all entered the official career through filial piety.

To raise Xiucai refers to the selection of outstanding talents as officials, to the Eastern Han Dynasty, in order to avoid the light of Emperor Wu Liu Xiu's ridicule, Xiucai was renamed Maocai.

Compared with filial piety, the selection criteria of Maocai are more stringent, filial piety is recommended by the counties, Maocai is mainly for the state, each year the state assassin or state pastor, can recommend a Maocai to the imperial court, and the three dukes in the court can also nominate a Maocai every year.

There are only thirteen states in the Eastern Han Dynasty in the country, plus the Sili school captain with the right to ply, and a few princes, the number of Maocai produced every year is actually very rare, so most of the people who can become Maocai are current officials who have been officials for many years.

Filial piety and Maocai both belong to the regular department, in addition, there are special departments that are opened from time to time, the most important special department is the "virtuous and square", most of which are after the occurrence of natural disasters, by the emperor in the students and current officials, select the ability of the virtuous and the character of the square, awarded official positions.

During the period of the Three Kingdoms, the more famous one who was born virtuous and square is Liu Yan, Liu Yan first did Langzhong because of the identity of the clan, because he was not a close branch of the clan, so he did not have a strong background, and the official was not big, many years later, Liu Yan was elected as a virtuous and good Fangzheng, and since then the official fortune has been prosperous, out of control, successively Jizhou Thorn History, Nanyang Taishou, Zongzheng, Taichang and other high-ranking officials, which has accumulated the capital of Yizhou Mu!

Among the talents who were inspected by the two Han Dynasty, the proportion of current officials has always been maintained at about three-quarters, and there is such a quota in the country every year, and a large part of it will be occupied by those who have already become officials, so the difficulty for ordinary people to enter the government directly through inspection can be imagined.

For the sake of Han Bao's personal emotional problems, Li Man did not hesitate to take out the quota of Maocai as a bargaining chip in exchange to appease Yuan's anger, which shows how sincere the father-son relationship between him and Han Bao is!

Five days later!

Han Bao looked at Li Man's reply, and he had already cried into tears!

In his reply, Li Man wrote:

Wu'er Han Leopard, see the words as faces!

When I heard that my son had found a beautiful woman, I was overjoyed for my father.

Life is in a hurry, and a good couple is hard to find.

Now that the dream has come true, I must cherish it!

Women are like water, they need to be treated gently, and they cannot be easily blamed!

Yuan's affairs, his own father's cooking, my son doesn't need to worry!

The above is Li Man's handwriting, and the following is Yang's handwriting, which is concise and concise, with only a few words: the background is not high, and he can be a concubine!

After receiving the letter handed by Han Bao, Li Yang looked at it at a glance, but after reading it, he smiled!

First, I was happy that the matter was satisfactorily resolved, and secondly, I was amused by Yang's few words!

"Mother is resolute in her work, never dragging mud and water, I can't wait!" Han Bao said!

Li Yang nodded approvingly, and said with emotion: "A loving mother has many defeated children, and a strict mother is a filial son!" Mother is a person who asks about college! ”

Luoyang, Yuan's house, inner house!

Yuan Kui sits high at the top!

The next one sits Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu respectively!

Yuan Kui took a sip of hot soup, looked at Yuan Shao, and said, "The Li family's apology is not heavy!" ”

Yuan Shao bowed his head silently and did not speak!

Yuan Kui set the tone for this matter as soon as he opened his mouth, endured the calm for a while, took a step back and opened the sky, there is no need to fight with the Li family for a woman, it is really worth the loss, and the Li family has also made corresponding compensation for Yuan Shao, with a woman from a low background, in exchange for a Maocai quota, whoever sees it, will feel that the Yuan family has made a lot of money this time.

Yuan Shu was already jealous in his heart, he was just a filial piety, but Yuan Shao was promoted to Maocai, how could he not be angry?

Yuan Shu said in a weird manner: "What my uncle said is very true, the relationship between my brother and Lai Ying'er is not clear, the world has already talked about it, and it is hard to hear, now someone is willing to take over, and my brother can also retreat with his whole body, go to stigma, leave a clear name, get fame, kill three birds with one stone, isn't it beautiful?" ”

"You..." Yuan Shao's face was red and his neck was thick, he stretched out his hand to point at Yuan Shu, and was about to speak, but he saw Yuan Kui waving his hand, and said: "The Li family has won the trust of His Majesty by virtue of his ability to pacify the Yellow Turban rebels, and it is not appropriate to make too much trouble with the Li family at this time, this matter will be stopped, don't regenerate right and wrong!" ”

Yuan Kui got up, walked out, passed by Yuan Shao's side, he gently patted Yuan Shao's shoulder, and said seriously: "Focus on the overall situation!" ”

Yuan Shao sighed and said, "Uncle, don't worry, Shao, you know what's at stake!" ”

Yuan Kui nodded with a satisfied face, then got up to leave, and when he walked to the door, he said to himself: "A gentleman's revenge, ten years is not too late!" ”

Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu hooked a corner of their mouths at the same time, and said in unison: "This is very good!" ”
