Watching dozens of boxes full of treasures disappear one after another out of thin air, He Jin was frightened and distressed, but he couldn't do anything, and he didn't dare to do it, so he could only watch.

It wasn't until the last box containing the five-baht coin disappeared that he couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

"Alas, the immortal god, these are all the money in my house, now all the filial piety to the immortal god, and I hope that the immortal god will forgive me for my previous offense!"

With that, he knelt down again and kowtowed three times in the direction where the last box had disappeared.

But after kowtowing for a long time, he didn't get a response from the other party, so he asked again in confusion.

"Immortal, are you still there?"

After asking, there was still no response.

He Jin belongs to the type of "once bitten by a snake for ten years and afraid of the well rope", and when he didn't get a response, he didn't dare to get up, so he could only still kneel on the ground.

I don't know how long he knelt for long, until he heard the rooster croak and saw the eastern sky glowing white, he realized that the other party should really be gone.

After confirming this, he finally put his heart down after worrying all night, and at the same time couldn't help but scold.

"This damn evil ghost, take the money and leave, don't say hello, just like the eunuch in the palace, I'm sorry!"

He spat heavily on the ground, then rubbed his numb legs as he shouted to the soldiers behind him.

"Go...... Go and find me all the Taoist priests in and outside the city, as many as you want, as long as the Taoist priests are all found, if anyone dares to shirk and can't come, the entire Taoist temple will be executed! ”

"No!"

With He Jin's sound of minus, the soldiers of the entire Great General's Mansion suddenly poured out, and when they saw the Taoist priest, they were arrested and returned to the Great General's Mansion, causing a storm all over the city, and the people were panicked.

At the same time, the haunted story of the General's Mansion also spread all over the streets and alleys of Luoyang City, and then dozens of girls from the General's Mansion were sent to the Taoist temple outside the city, which attracted many onlookers, adding a lot of after-dinner conversation to the people.

And for Xu Kang, the initiator, he didn't expect things to be so big, but fortunately, the money has already arrived, so it doesn't matter how He Jin makes trouble.

After more than ten days, the turmoil of the general's haunting finally subsided, and Xu Kang also completed the inventory of the property from He Jin.

This time, he "pretended to be a ghost" and gained a very rich harvest, getting a box of gold cakes, a box of pearls, a box of flawless Hetian jade, two boxes of silver nuggets, and ninety-two boxes of five baht coins, a total of ninety-seven boxes!

Among them, gold, silver, pearls, and jade could not be used for the time being, so the only money he could use at this time was the ninety-two boxes of five baht.

But that's not a small amount.

Although Xu Kang didn't know the specific amount, judging from the size of the five-baht coin, one box of He Jin's house could hold at least 30,000 to 40,000 five-baht coins, and ninety-two boxes were about three million dollars.

According to the prices of the Eastern Han Dynasty at this time, this money was enough to buy 300 acres of fertile land, or 400 cattle and horses, or 300 servants and maids.

Of course, you can also buy food.

At this time, Luoyang's barley and corn were 220 yuan a stone, and 3 million and 5 baht could buy 15,000 stone of grain.

But Xu Kang didn't plan to do this, he planned to use the money to buy officials!

He had already made up his mind before that he wanted to be a celebrity, and he was the kind of celebrity who was famous, so he needed a medium, and being an official was undoubtedly the best choice.

However, the official selection system of the Eastern Han Dynasty was a recommendation system, and the promotion channels were controlled by wealthy families, and it was basically impossible for the children of poor families to become officials.

But fortunately, the reigning emperor at this time, Emperor Ling of Han, was a "refreshing" person, and he pointed out a "clear path" for those who did not have a way to rise -

Buy with money!

In feudal dynasties, it was actually very common to sell official positions, but this kind of thing was not worth showing off, so everyone generally did it in private.

But Liu Hong, Emperor of Han Ling, is an exception, since he became emperor, he has put this matter on the table!

He directly established the Xiyuan Buying Office to openly sell officials, and even the price of selling officials was clearly marked, and the calculation method was very simple, that is, multiplying the annual income by 10,000!

For example, Taiwei, one of the three dukes, his Yulu is 10,000 stone a year, multiplied by 10,000 is 100 million!

In other words, if you want to buy the official position of Tai Lieutenant, you will have to spend 100 million dollars!

This is obviously not a small amount.

So the question is, even a "nouveau riche" like He Jin only has more than 10 million yuan of belongings, so can anyone really get 100 million money?

The answer is yes, that is Cao Cao and his father Cao Song!

According to historical records, in November 187, Taiwei Cui Lie was deposed, and after the position of Taiwei became vacant, Cao Song spent 100 million yuan to buy this position.

But unfortunately, there is a rule in the Eastern Han Dynasty, that is, once a major natural and man-made disaster is discovered, the emperor can depose the three dukes.

Cao Song was unlucky, he only served as a lieutenant for one year, and was deposed by Emperor Ling of Han because the Yellow Turban of Runan Gepi attacked the county, and 100 million yuan was also wasted.

After Cao Song was deposed, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty did not find a richer "wronged leader", so he could only sell it at a reduced price, and sold Taiwei to Fan Ling and Ma Riyan respectively in a year's time.

If it weren't for the fact that Emperor Han Ling died of illness a year later, then with his ability, this position of Tai Lieutenant could be changed a few more times and sold to a few more "wronged bosses".

Xu Kang is not a big wrongdoer, and he can't afford an official position like Sangong, his target is a local county official, such as a county order and the like.

However, according to the rules given by Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, local officials are more expensive than court officials, and they all need to be auctioned, and an official position like a county order with 400 stones, the starting price is 4 million yuan, and if there are competitors, this price will be even higher!

In this way, three million five baht is simply not enough.

However, there are special circumstances, such as the fact that there is only one person who wants to buy that official position, and there are no other competitors, then he can get this official position at the starting price, or even lower than the starting price.

And in order to prevent officials from not having so much cash, Emperor Han Ling also thoughtfully launched the business of "installment payment".

As long as you can pay one-third or one-quarter of the money, you can be an official first and then pay back, if the official has a particularly good reputation, it has played an excellent role in promoting the sale of officials, and Emperor Han Ling can also give preferential treatment on the price of buying officials!

Not only is it preferential to buy officials, but you can also pay less money when you are promoted in the future, which can be described as a double discount!

It's quite humane.

I have to say that with such a "good leader" as Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, the demise of the Eastern Han Dynasty was not unreasonable.

However, these have nothing to do with Xu Kang, he doesn't care at all whether the Eastern Han Dynasty will be destroyed or not, what he cares about is where to buy the county order.

Soon, he had an idea.

"If you don't want to go to a place that is too far away, just find a closer one, well, just buy the county order of Changshe County!"
