Chapter 17 A certain person wants to buy an official

The guards didn't have time to deal with Cheng Yuanzhi, it was too time-consuming, guarding the gate of Luoyang, people came and went, geese plucked feathers, and the income of a whole day was a daily income.

A small piece of broken gold, the guards really don't look down on it.

The guards even talked to Cheng Yuanzhi, but they felt that the price was dropped, so they stretched out their hands and pushed Cheng Yuanzhi away.

Is this still worth it?

Cheng Yuanzhi came to buy officials, and he wanted to be the assassin and the Taishou, in case he couldn't even enter the Luoyang City Gate, he wouldn't have to give Liu Bei a few laughs when he went back.

took out another piece of complete gold from his sleeve, weighing five taels, and stuffed it again, Cheng Yuanzhi didn't speak, just smiled.

The guard took the gold, put it in his mouth and bit it with his teeth, and immediately laughed, and said:

"Well, it's in good condition. Let's go into the city, if the Son of Heaven says, don't think about it, don't say it's you, even if it's a military master, I won't see it. I think you're from the countryside and you're here to buy an official, right? After entering the city, go all the way to the right, and see the West Garden selling official office, that's it. ”

If you get a piece of gold, you can compare it to a hundred people. The guards were in a good mood and didn't mind giving Cheng Yuanzhi directions.

took out another heavy gold ingot and handed it to the guards, but Cheng Yuanzhi still didn't speak, and smiled even more happily.

Hearty!

It's not the first time I've seen a person who buys an official, but I've never seen someone so arrogant.

The guards secretly threatened, today was really lucky, so they almost knelt down directly and shouted Cheng Yuanzhi to call the gold lord's father.

The overjoyed guard suddenly slapped his thigh, and shouted at his men at the city gate:

"Someone, prepare the car."

After the guards finished speaking, they turned their heads to Cheng Yuanzhi and said:

"Sir, Luoyang City University, I have a carriage here, I can send Mr. to the West Garden. Also ask the gentleman to get in the car. ”

That gold ingot just now can buy a thousand carriages.

The guards looked at Cheng Yuanzhi's appearance of three or five coarse, and for the sake of money, they actually called Cheng Yuanzhi Mr. against their will.

Treat each other as literati.

Cheng Yuanzhi nodded, strode into the carriage, and was in a very happy mood.

Comfortable!

This guard just couldn't talk to him well, he asked a little thing just now, and he had to shake his face, Cheng Yuanzhi couldn't bear to be angry, and instantly slapped his face with a gold nugget.

Entering Luoyang City, Cheng Yuanzhi, who was sitting in the carriage, was dazzled, just like Grandma Liu entered the Grand View Garden for the first time. The eyes are full of buildings and wine shops, and the vendors on both sides of the street are full of traffic, and they are all selling everything.

Compared with Luoyang, Guangyang is not a countryside, it is simply a ruin.

The carriage soon sent Cheng Yuanzhi to his destination: the West Park Selling Office.

Cheng Yuanzhi got out of the carriage, and a strong smell of rouge hit, which was very pungent. In front of a desk, there was a long line, and there were all kinds of people.

Cheng Yuanzhi smiled and said secretly:

"Queue up to buy officials? It's really interesting. ”

Cheng Yuanzhi didn't line up, crossed the end of the line, walked forward directly, rushed to the person who was writing and registering carefully, and shouted loudly:

"I want to buy an official."

Cheng Yuanzhi thought to himself, if someone came to send money, presumably that person would smile and get up to give him a thoughtful reception.

Unfortunately, it didn't.

The man in the eunuch's palace uniform didn't even raise his head, he kept writing in his hand, the pen walked like a snake, Quan Dang didn't hear it, and he didn't pay attention to Cheng Yuanzhi.

At this time, the long queue was unwilling.

"Buying officials? Whoever comes here is not a buyer, and he is not allowed to cut in line. ”

"That's it, don't buy officials, come here to play, get out of the back and line up."

"A reckless man in the countryside, if you have a few stinky money, you want to cut in line and look for death."

"I've been queuing for three hours, if you dare to cut in line, if you dare that I can't buy an official, don't think about being able to get out of Luoyang City Gate today."

......

The crowd is surging.

Cheng Yuanzhi didn't pay attention to those who were yelling, sometimes the dog barked at you a few times, you can't squat down, just follow the beetle, just treat it as a mosquito buzzing.

took out a gold brick and smashed it directly in front of the eunuch's pen, Cheng Yuanzhi said angrily:

"I want to buy an official."

The invincible gold and stone are open.

At this time, seeing the gold bricks, the eunuch finally stopped writing, looked up at Cheng Yuanzhi, pulled the duck's throat, and said coldly:

"Oh, what are you going to buy?"

A gold brick can only buy an official position of a county order at most.

Most of the edicts in the hands of eunuchs are county orders and those under county orders.

Every day, people line up to buy officials, but they are generally small businessmen who can't afford to pay more than the county official position. The eunuchs sold them were basically partial generals and generals, and occasionally they could sell one or two county orders, chief bows and school captains.

However, Cheng Yuanzhi has come up with a gold brick, which is still worth stopping to receive. After trading this gold brick, he can be worthy of a eunuch to write a hundred low-level official positions.

Cheng Yuanzhi was illiterate, glanced at the edict in front of the eunuch's desk, and found that he couldn't understand it, but Cheng Yuanzhi knew that the eunuch who could register here would definitely not be the head of the West Garden.

"This gold brick is for you, not the money to buy an official, someone who wants to see you in charge here, a certain official who buys, you can't be the master."

Such a boldness. With a gesture, he gave away a gold brick, which is the price of a county order, which can be exchanged for 3,000 yuan and five baht.

The eunuch smiled, quietly put the gold bricks into his sleeve, pointed to the door of the other room, and said:

"You're lucky, someone happened to be in the palace today, so you should wait at Zhang Changshi's resting place first."

Indeed, if you are talking about a big deal, such as the three dukes, or various generals above the fifth grade, the eunuch really can't be the master. Besides, with this gold brick, the eunuch is very satisfied, this is an extra income, and there is no need to divide it with others, it is purely earned by himself.

Here, the eunuch signed the edict every day and collected money, but he didn't even have a single percent of the money he could get in hand.

Receiving money from people, and being loyal to people.

The eunuch didn't ask Cheng Yuanzhi what official he wanted to buy, so let Cheng Yuanzhi go directly to Zhang Changshou from the palace and tell him, even if Cheng Yuanzhi's deal failed, the eunuch would at most give Zhang Changzhi all the official positions and registered money sold today.

The Zhang Chang attendant in the eunuch's mouth, Cheng Yuanzhi has heard of it, it is Zhang Rang, one of the close attendants of the Son of Heaven, and the head of the ten permanent servants formed by the eunuch alliance.

Cheng Yuanzhi swaggered, pushed open the door, and walked in.

In fact, Cheng Yuanzhi also came by coincidence, as soon as the front foot walked into the room, Zhang Rang arrived on the back foot.

Today is the time for the monthly settlement.

The Son of Heaven sells officials, which is naturally handled by his subordinates, and some small official positions, such as tooth generals and the like, are often stamped with the edict of the national jade seal in advance in the palace, sent out in a car, and then transported back with a carload full of money.

Among them, although there will be all kinds of cats and doorways, in fact, the palace will also assess the Xiyuan selling officials.
