"The old man doesn't want to be a fat pig!"

Huang Bing slowly opened the cloth bag, revealing a few letters, Cao Wei sat on a chair and looked at it, only to see that the cover of the top letter was written with the words "Brother Huang Bingzi Jin personally opened".

"But how can you not be slaughtered by the official at will? After the old man was released from prison, he thought about it day and night, and finally figured out that there are only two kinds of people in this world, or only a small part of them can be called people, this kind of people are butchers with knives, who can eat meat for pleasure, enjoy all kinds of power, and can raise the knife in their hands to satisfy their selfish desires.

As for the rest, they are all pigs and dogs that have been raised, the poor are poor, and the rich are fat, but no matter how fat they are, they can't escape the fate of being eaten on the table in the end.

Therefore, only by becoming a butcher with a knife can he not be served and not be fished. ”

"Huang Yuanwai means that the official is a butcher with a knife, and the ordinary people are pigs and dogs, so what does Huang Yuanwai think he is now? Butcher or pig dog? ”

"The old man is half a knife-wielding ......"

Huang Bing smiled bitterly: "It's not appropriate to be an official, we have three methods for electing in the Ming Dynasty: college, imperial examination, and recommendation."

The school educates people, selects and recommends people through the imperial examination.

Those who are officials take the imperial examination as the highest class, those who are directly appointed by the academy as the second class, and those who are recommended are the second, which belongs to the miscellaneous stream.

In fact, to put it bluntly, if you want to be an official who can be looked down upon, you still have to pass the imperial examination and get a jinshi......"

Cao Wei's face became a little strange, he did not enter the officialdom through the imperial examination, but he never felt that he was looked down upon, and he didn't know why, but he felt that there were many people who were afraid of him, but he had always taken gentleness, humility and kindness as the law of life......

If someone in the court knows Cao Wei's thoughts, I'm afraid they will have the heart to cry, although Cao Wei is a military attache and his position is not high, but he wears the hat of a marquis, not to mention that he has always been good friends with the prince of the East Palace, and he is valued by the emperor, who dares to look down on him?

Besides, Cao Wei's conduct is a person, and there are many people in the court who understand it, in general, this son is a cautious person, if he takes advantage of him, he can turn his face and grab money, this kind of indiscriminate character is like a hedgehog, who touches whom, so that many officials in the court and the central government respect him.

In addition, although Cao Wei was a bastard, he didn't do anything out of the ordinary, so even if he occasionally messed around, the civil officials in the court pinched their noses and admitted it, and they would not deliberately suppress him.

Cao Wei only felt that it was easy for him to be an official at the beginning, where could he think of the difficulties of others, once every three years, after the township examination, the county examination, and the government examination, there were thousands of candidates selected at all levels, but in the end, there were only a few dozen people who passed the examination to become a jinshi.

The difficulty is like thousands of horses crossing a single-plank bridge, falling into the water for countless counts, and the real passage is not only necessary to have real talent and learning, but even a little luck in it.

In fact, there is another way to become an official, Huang Bing did not say, that is, to become a military attaché, and there are four ways to become a military attaché, one is to rely on martial arts, the second is to rely on the court generals, the third is to rely on attacking the shadow, and the fourth is to rely on military merits.

Martial arts requires individuals to have real talents and practical learning. Hongzhi six years, martial arts trial strategy two. Those who are excellent in arts and sciences, proficient in Tao Luo, and shoot in the middle style will be promoted to the second level. The text is not very good, although the shot is even, it is stopped by one level. Even if you are good at writing, you can't shoot in the style, and if you shoot well, you can't plan well, you will be temporarily deposed and wait to try again. In the middle, send the regimental camp, or distribute to the sides, praise the painting, or put the general, or garrison the castle, exempt from the command of the team, and then take an examination every six years in September.

That is to say, the martial arts are selected every six years, and those who are good at riding and archery and know how to strategy can be promoted to the second level of military attaché, that is, up and down the general flag.

The use of talents by the imperial court is also a way to become a military attaché, but that also requires people in the court. In fact, most of the military attaches in the Ming Dynasty relied on raiding the shadow to become officials, the father died and the son inherited, the brother died and the brother inherited, and it was difficult for outsiders to intervene and enter, so the military attache system was very cohesive, because most of them were fathers, sons, uncles and nephews, and the relationship was iron, and they responded to every call.

There are also two ways to obtain military merits, one is to go into battle to kill the enemy, behead and promote, but the battlefield is very dangerous, it is normal to lack arms and legs, and if you are not careful, you will die, and the officers and soldiers at the bottom can become officers by relying on the army, not only have strong martial arts talents, but also have the luck of lucky stars.

Of course, in addition to these four ways, there is also a way, that is, to make great contributions to the imperial court and be canonized and rewarded by the imperial court. Cao Wei became an official in this way, he cured the Yangzhou epidemic, and then the emperor made up a hundred households, and since then he has been mixed into the officialdom and has come to this day step by step.

The reason why Huang Bing didn't say military attache was because the military attache of the Ming Dynasty was suppressed by the fierce civil officials, and generally only the children of poor families would take this path, and he was weak, so he never thought about the military attaché.

"The old man also participated in the imperial examination when he was young, but he lacked talent, and he didn't even pass the township examination, and he gave up after one or two times.

Just when the old man was discouraged, he suddenly realized that if he couldn't be an official, it would be a good choice to help each other with the people who were officials, so the old man began to pay attention to his classmates who were studying with the old man.

Soon, the old man noticed a person, he passed the county test to become a showman, the poor and sour Xiucai family has no surplus food, it is a good time to make friends, so the old man frequently showed favor to him, presented gold and silver, helped him pass the house to try to become a person, helped him buy a family business, he did not let the old man down, and finally high school jinshi, became an official. ”

A smile appeared on Huang Bing's face: "Not only that, but he was also favored by a powerful daughter and wanted to recruit him as a son-in-law...... Ha, but he is already married, can he take that daughter as a concubine?

A man can really do anything for the future, even if he is a reader full of benevolence and morality. The old man's classmate did not tell the fact of marriage, but married the daughter and became the son-in-law of the powerful Chenglong, and wrote a letter begging the old man to take care of his married wife......

Then he relied on Lao Taishan to enter the Hanlin Academy, all the way up, and the old man has been sending him silver, so that he can make friends with colleagues, develop party henchmen, so that he only took ten years to become a high-ranking official, climbed to a position that other Jinshi may not be able to climb in a lifetime, it can be said that the old man has achieved him!

It's not just that, eggs can't be put in one basket, so the old man made friends with other dignitaries through his connections, gave them silver, sent treasures, and even gave women, haha, the old man became their cash cow, the God of Wealth, and slowly they couldn't do without the old man......"

Huang Bing finished speaking in one breath, looking very happy, he smiled, looked up at Cao Wei, and said, "My lord, do you say that the old man is doing well?" ”

Cao Wei finally understood Huang Bing's confidence, Huang Bing was like a boat, extremely unstable in the wind and rain, so he pulled many people onto the boat, and moving his boat was to move the interests of many officials.

Although Huang Ping is not an official, he has established a party of friends through the transfer of interests in the past 20 years, and no matter what he does, someone will escort him.

He gave so much silver every year to the adults in the court, and as for the origin of the money, the adults may or may not know, but whether they know it or not, they must pretend not to know, because they have already boarded the ship, and from the day they receive the money, they will not be able to get down.

As for what Huang Bing just asked Cao Wei, it has two meanings, one is a threat, so that Cao Wei is afraid of the forces behind him, so that he does not dare to touch him, and the other is to ask, asking Cao Wei if he wants to board his boat...... I want to talk about "Da Ming Qingshi" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
