There are many reasons for the demise of the Han Dynasty, but there is one of them, which accounts for a very heavy proportion, that is-selling official beards!

Liu Hong was not the first to sell official titles, as early as the Qin period, there was a large-scale natural disaster, in order to relieve the pressure, the imperial court had ordered the people to pay a thousand stone of grain, they could be awarded a first-class title.

After that, there is Emperor Huan in front of Liu Hong, this is the real official mantle, not only the title. It's just that Liu Hong, the successor, has played this tradition very well. He inherited Emperor Huan's arrogance and luxury, so in order to be able to continue, he also carried forward the selling of official beards, and carried out the selling of official beards with a clear price.

This is unprecedented!

Therefore, in addition to those Qingliu figures, some people who have a few pieces of money, but want to be officials but can't, have gone to Xiyuan to buy officials or knights.

Among them, there are many people who really want to be officials, but most of them just want to be officials. After spending money, these people who just want to be officials want to get it back, and they are stripped of their hard work, so coupled with heavy taxes, the people are miserable, and there is a famine, and in some places there is even a phenomenon of changing children and eating.

Not only that, if these guys who bought officials took office caused the people to riot because they were too ruthless, they would be bloodily suppressed and hidden dangers eliminated, especially in the border counties, where the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, and they are not liked by the family, so they don't worry about being found out no matter how they do.

In this way, how can Han not die?

How not to die!

However, this gave Gongsun Du a chance.

"Luoyang?"

"It's finally here!"

Mi Zhu vaguely remembers that he came to Luoyang when he was very young, and his memories are already a little blurry, and now he looks at the tall city walls and wide city gates in Luoyang, which gradually become clear, and then coincide.

There were more than 1,000 people accompanying him, all of whom were elites in the army, who acted as guards at this time, escorting Mi Zhu and the gold and silver treasures in dozens of carriages, and the team stretched for more than 100 zhang in front and back.

The people around them basically just glanced at it and withdrew their gaze, not unusual, and there were several teams that were similar, or even more.

Soon.

It was Mi Zhu's turn to enter the city.

"What do you guys do?"

There was no need for Mi Zhu to speak, someone stepped forward and said, "Hello general, we are the Mi family's caravan, these are the goods collected from the north, ready to be sold in the Mi family's shops." ”

As he spoke, a not light package was handed over.

Blatant, blatant and blatant!

The tooth general seemed to be used to it, and went straight to the side, feeling the weight in it, a smile leaked from his face, and he handed it to the person behind him casually, and said, "Well, caravan? Ten baht per person! ”

After speaking, he turned around and motioned to his subordinates to check.

Mi Zhu is very familiar with these things, even if he has been away from the Central Plains for many years, after meeting Mi Du a few days ago, he is also familiar with it, not only did not stop him, but instead signaled the elite soldiers who acted as guards to open the corner of the carriage for the soldiers guarding the door to check.

Dozens of carriages were inspected one by one, and the soldiers reported that there was no problem, and the tooth general waved his hand to signal Mi Zhu and the others to enter the city. Before this, the poll tax had already been handed over to the tooth general, otherwise it would never be so refreshing.

As one of the four major merchants in the late Han Dynasty, Mijia naturally has shops in Luoyang, and it is not small. This is also the reason why the tooth general didn't think there was anything wrong with saying that before, so he would let them into the city after such a simple inspection.

Like the four major merchants, which one doesn't have goods delivered from time to time, if you carefully check it, others can't enter the city?

After entering the city, Mi Zhu took people and went to the Mi family's mansion under the leadership of the people arranged by Mi Du.

"The young master is here?"

It is the old servant of the Mi family who runs the Mi family shop in Luoyang, and he has won the trust of Mi Du, and he has already received the news, and the workers of the shop are waiting at the gate of Mi Mansion.

Mi Zhu couldn't help but smile when he saw this person, turned over and stepped forward, hugged the old man, and said, "Uncle Zhong, it's been a long time!" ”

"Yes! Long time no see! ”

Uncle Zhong sighed with emotion, and hurriedly pulled Mi Zhu to the house, "Young master, please come in!" ”

Mi Zhu nodded and said, "Uncle Zhong, don't worry, let people take them to unload the goods first." ”

"It's the old slave who is confused!"

Uncle Zhong patted his head and said, "Young master, then let Archie and them go." ”

Mi Zhu nodded, and said to the "guards" in his companionship, "You go and put the goods away first!" Remember, you can't afford to make a mistake. ”

"Yes!"

Uncle Zhong felt a little wrong when he heard these words, but after many years in the Mi family, he naturally knew what to ask and what not to ask, since Mi Zhu didn't say it, it was not something he could know. just pulled Mi Zhu to the house.

The master and servant hadn't seen each other for a long time, and they chatted for a long time, until it was dark and someone came to tell them that they could eat. But in this time, Mi Zhu has already got the answer he wants to know.

So, early the next morning, Mi Zhu beckoned the elite soldiers who pretended to be guards to pack up their things and go to the West Garden.

The West Garden is the place where Liu Hong openly sells officials and knights, and Mi Zhu has inquired about Uncle Zhong yesterday.

When I arrived at the place, Mi Zhu took a look, yo, there are still a lot of people!

Seven or eight people lined up, and there were many people dressed as guards on each side, carrying boxes one after another, and without thinking too much, they knew that there was money inside.

Mi Zhu glanced at the eunuch who was staring not far away, and was not in a hurry, waiting in the back. The accompanying "guards" were very conscious, like those in front of them, with boxes around Mi Zhu's side. It is not only to protect the money in the box, but also to protect Mi Zhu.

There are not many people who buy officials, after all, a radish is a pit, and someone in front of them buys it, so they have to wait for the term of office to expire, or they die or run away for some reason.

Mi Zhu saw that these people in front of him were basically buying titles, but they were all dukes and masters. (The Han Dynasty followed the Qin title system, and Gongshi and Shangzao were the lowest two-class titles, only senior)

"What title does Childe want to buy?"

Mi Zhu felt funny when he heard this, as if he was buying something, but he said respectfully, "I don't deserve to be called an adult!" ”

After a pause, he said, "Dare to ask which of the permanent attendants is walking under your lord?" ”

When the eunuch heard this, he immediately understood that this was a big deal, and his spirit couldn't help but be shocked, and he bowed to the north, and then said, "With the trust of Your Majesty, Zhang Chang's work here can be taken care of." The villain still has some weight in Zhang Changshou's eyes, so he was sent here to run errands for Zhang Changshou. ”

"Mi has been doing business all over the world over the years and has made some money, and now that his father is old, when it comes to the glorious lintel, Mi feels pressured because he has a plan to be an official. But Mi Mouwen can't do anything, but he wants to serve the country, he thought that he could only make his father go away with hatred, and he didn't want to hear that His Majesty had done this great work, so he thought about it! ”

Mi Zhu suddenly understood, nodded, took out a fold from his arms, and handed it forward, "Lord, take a look!" ”

When the eunuch saw it, he was immediately startled, and he was not in a hurry to look behind, but in the blink of an eye, he looked up and down, and carefully looked at Mi Zhu, and found that there was something extraordinary about it, so he nodded again, and then put his eyes on the fold.

Half a day.

The eunuch raised his head and said, "As far as you ask for an official position, a total of 80 million yuan, but for the sake of your filial piety, loyalty and seeing, we will make our own decisions and charge you 10 million less money, and we will charge you 70 million yuan." ”

Mi Zhu was shocked, according to the price of selling officials, it is one to one, that is, one stone is 10,000, and 2,000 stones, that is, 20 million yuan. There are a total of eight official positions written on the fold, including the county guard of Xuansu County, as well as the county commanders, county magistrates, and governors of the five counties within it.

It seems like a lot, but according to the ratio of one to one, it should add up to less than 60 million dollars.

"Does this bastard treat all the county magistrates as county magistrates? How can there be so many households in the whole Xuansu? Now I do. What about before? ”

Mi Zhu scolded in his heart, but he had to pretend to be grateful on his face, "Then Mi Mou thank you so much!" ”

After speaking, Mi Zhu turned around and said, "Take 80 million money." ”

Then he said to the eunuch, "This hot day is really hard, and the extra money, even if it is the wine money that Mi gave to the adults and you, it is easy to relieve the heat." ”

"Hahaha! Ok, good, good! Mi Gongzi, oh, no, Mi Taishou, then we will thank you! After the eunuch finished speaking, he said to the others, "You still haven't thanked Lord Mi for your kindness!" ”

"Yes!"

"Lord Xie Mi!"

"It's work, it's work!"

Mi Zhu looked embarrassed, acting like someone else, he was the one who was given the gift. Then, he asked, "Dare to ask your lordship, I wonder when this appointment will come down?" ”

The eunuch smiled and said, "Except for this appointment of the eunuch, for the rest, you wait here first, and I'll give it to you later." As for this Taishou, you also know that this is no more than others, and it needs to be reported to His Majesty by Lord Chang Shi."

"Thank you, sir! That's Mi just wait, adults, please! Mi Zhu bowed and thanked.

The eunuch nodded and walked in.

After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, the eunuch appeared in front of Mi Zhu again, still holding a lot of appointment documents in his hand.

"Here, that's it!"

The eunuch did not procrastinate, and handed it directly to Mi Zhu.

"Thank you, sir!" Mi Zhu's eyes swept away, and the number was one less than what he wanted, that is, the appointment of Taishou, and he didn't open it for inspection, so he put it in his arms.

The eunuch Xu received a lot of money, and Xu because Mi Zhu's attitude was good, his face softened, and he said, "It's good to teach Lord Mi to know that the appointment of the Taishou must wait until the time of the Great Dynasty, otherwise it is not appropriate to bother Your Majesty from time to time, you say, right?" ”

Mi Zhu's heart moved, and he smiled, "Yes, what the adults said is very true!" ”

Then Mi Zhu said goodbye and left. In the end, what the eunuch said was to tell Mi Zhu that the appointment of the eunuch would be completed when the dynasty ended, and he would remember to come and get it when the time came.
