Chapter 317: Seeking Officials
Fan Youhui saw talent and decided to take Wu Qi into the wind.
Now the wind and the two countries, there is no war, therefore, it is not very difficult to pass the customs, let Wu Qi as the entourage of the caravan, after a check, the group crossed the border of the country, entered the wind land, passed Jinhua, went to Anze, and finally arrived in Hedong.
As a big businessman in Hedong, Fan You has a wide range of contacts, so how can he not deal with the county head.
The current head of Hedong County is Jian Rong, who governs a place, and he still has a very good set, and he also deeply understands what kind of money can be collected and what kind of money cannot be greedy, therefore, in Hedong County, Jian Rong and Fan You still have a few meals together.
Along the way, Fan You often chatted with Wu Qi to make a test, and found that the latter can be said to know astronomy and geography, and no matter what he says, he seems to be able to speak right.
From his speech and demeanor, Fan You keenly found that this person is probably not simple! He was glad that he had saved Wu Qi because of a word.
Wu Qi has great ambitions and wants to ask for an official, Fan You decided to invest in him, he is a businessman, the first thing he values, of course, is his own interests, in his opinion, with Wu Qi's talent, get an official and a half-job, there must be no problem, if he rises all the way, then at that time, his small investment, how will it be in vain, it will only be returned thousands of times.
Therefore, after arriving in Hedong County and dealing with the affairs at hand, Fan You took Wu Qi to ask for a meeting with the county leader Jian Rong as soon as possible.
Jian Rong is also the biggest official Fan You knows, and the latter also has a certain understanding of Jian Rong, so he decided to start here.
That night, Fan Youbao went to the largest restaurant in Hedong and hosted a banquet for Jian Rong.
For this kind of banquet of local wealthy merchants, Jian Rong didn't know how many times he had eaten since he took office, he happily went to the appointment, thinking that this time it would be the same as usual, it must be full of friends, all of them are some rich businessmen and gentry or something, but when he arrived at the place, there were only Fan You and a slightly sick young scribe.
Seeing Jian Rong, Fan You got up to greet him, and Wu Qi also stood up, the former had a smile on his face, arched his hands, bent over, and said with a smile: "Oh, Lord Jian is here!" Fast! Fast! Inside, pleaseβ"
Jian Rong glanced at him, but he didn't care, and after swaggering into the hall and taking a seat, he said, "Brother Fan, who is this?" β
He asked, naturally, it was Wu Qi, who was born in the face, and when Fan You heard this, he hurriedly introduced: "Master Jian, this is the cousin under him, named Wu Qi." β
As he spoke, he shouted at Wu Qi again: "Wu Qi, why don't you come over and see the county head?" β
When Wu Qi heard this, he hurriedly bowed down at Jian Rong and said, "In Xia Wuqi, I have seen the head of the county. β
"Yes." Jian Rong waved his hand slightly, full of style, he was the supreme administrator of a county, even if these businessmen were rich, they had to act according to his face.
After a pause, Jian Rong said again: "I heard that Brother Fan, didn't you go to Liandi as a businessman, how is it, business is easy to do?" β
"Hehe, it's still the same, small business, small business." Fan You hurriedly said, as he spoke, he also took out a small bag from his cuff and quietly put it on the table in front of Jian Rong.
Seeing him put a small bag on his table with a smile on his face, Jian Rong raised his eyebrows, couldn't help but reach out to open it, and looked inside, only to see that it was not broken gold and silver, but a bag full of jewels, Jian Rong's eyes suddenly lit up.
He tied the mouth of the bag, patted the bag lightly, and said, "Brother Fan, you are ......"
"Ah, that's right." Fan You organized the language, and then pointed to Wu Qi and said: "My cousin, who has followed a hermit since he was a child, has read poetry and books, and has just returned from his studies, and now he doesn't know what to do, so he thinks if the county head can give him a way to do and find a small errand to do in the county government." β
Finding an errand in the county government, for Jian Rong, it is not a matter of words, he nodded, and said: "Since it is Brother Fan who speaks, then this favor, this official will definitely help, in this way, there is still a shortage of copywriters in the county government, since your cousin is full of poetry and books, it should be easy to deal with these problems, what does Brother Fan think?" β
Fan You was just about to speak, but Wu Qi arched his hand and said, "Lord Hui, this is not my ambition." β
Oh? Hearing this, Jian Rong raised his eyebrows suddenly, and said with a smile: "Then this Wu Qi brother, what do you want to do?" β
As he spoke, he thought about it a little more, and said: "Then let's do it, in my Fengguo, it is necessary to go through a series of assessments, you can pass the assessment through the Hedong Academy, and then the official will find a way to dredge with the examiners of the Hedong Academy, but you can take this road, thinking that the county is Cheng." β
"Ah, so good, so good." Fan You hurriedly said, in his opinion, let Wu Qi be a small local county first, and then invest by himself, step by step, step by step, this is also the most perfect plan he has come up with.
But Wu Qi said: "This is not my ambition. β
What the!? When Fan You heard this, he immediately became anxious, but before he could explain, Jian Rong couldn't help but snort coldly, and said unhappily:
"Humph! It's just a grass people, this official looks at Brother Fan's face, he can dredge up, and find a county for you, but you are still not satisfied, in this case, then the official has no choice! Brother Fan, let's think of another way! β
"Oops! Master Jane is angry, don't be angry, cousin, he didn't mean that......" Fan You said again and again, and at the same time kept glaring at Wu Qi.
But the latter didn't seem to see it, not only was he unmoved, but he also said with a smile: "The county head, the talent in the lower is enough to rejuvenate the country, if you are appointed to a county, it is nothing in the lower, but it is undoubtedly the loss of the county head." β
Ah! What a big breath this person has! When Jian Rong heard this, he was angry and funny, and shook his head again and again.
But Wu Qi didn't care so much, and still said: "Lord County, if you can recommend me to His Royal Highness the Wind King, on the one hand, you only need to see the Wind King in the next side, which is enough to prove that what you said is true!" And if there is really a talent to rejuvenate the country, then the county head not only has the merit of recommending talents, but also in the future Fengguo court, the county head will undoubtedly have a reliable political friend! β
"Such the best of both worlds, and adults only need to do the recommended things, if it can be done, the results of adults, there is no need to say more, right? Even if it doesn't work, the adult will be scolded by the Wind King at most. β
"So, why don't you take a gamble?"
