The black shadow leaped into the house and "swished" under the bunk.

Liu Mang didn't care about the black shadow, and hurriedly worked on his mother.

After a long period of pinching and kneading, Guo finally relieved himself.

"What's it? scared my mother to death......" Guo was shocked.

Liu Mang hurriedly made an excuse, saying that the old lady was dazzled and prevaricated.

Carrying his mother back, Liu Mang returned to his house, covered the door, and shouted under the bed: "Get out!" ”

"I didn't mean to ......," Shi Qian replied as he hid under the bunk, trembling.

"You come out, I promise not to kill you, okay?"

Liu Mang coerced and lured, and Shi Qian finally came out.

"Dare to scare my mother!" Liu Mang stretched out his hand to hit.

Shi Qian is really a mouse, swished away, and took the time to defend: "You said you won't fight!" ”

"I said I won't beat you, I didn't say I won't beat you!"

The house is small, and no matter how fast the time moves, it can't be avoided.

Liu Mang's fist was about to hit Shi Qian's head, but Shi Qian suddenly held something and shouted, "Don't fight!" See! ”

Liu Mang stiffly retracted his fists, only to see Shi Qian holding a small cake-like thing.

Take it and look closely.

The small cake weighs about half a catty (1 catty = 16 taels in the Eastern Han Dynasty), similar to silver, with one side slightly concave and one side slightly convex. The raised side is engraved with a dragon pattern.

"What's this?"

"You don't even know this?" Shi Qian expressed his pity for Liu Mang with his eyes.

"What is this? Silver? Ingots? ”

Shi Qian looked at Liu Mang suspiciously, and felt more and more pitiful and ignorant of Liu Mang.

Liu Mang couldn't understand it, and Shi Qian couldn't understand it. Naturally, both of them didn't know that the appearance of ingots was a matter of the Tang Dynasty, and the word "ingots" did not appear until the Yuan Dynasty.

"It's money!"

Money?

The money Liu Mang has seen is all five-baht coins of various specifications and inferior quality.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was social turmoil and disorder. The five-baht coin became more and more coarsely minted, and the more worthless it became.

But it is a worthless five baht, which is also a treasure for the Liu family.

Shi Qian said that this cake was money, but of course Liu Mang didn't believe it.

"Platinum Sanpin, don't you understand?" Shi Qian really wanted to teach Liu Mang a good lesson, but what he knew was limited to the name "Platinum Sanpin".

Platinum Sanpin, which was the currency issued by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, was minted with silver and tin. There are three types: dragon pattern, horse pattern, and turtle pattern, which correspond to heaven, earth, and man.

Among them, the dragon pattern is called "white selection", weighing eight taels and worth three thousand dollars!

Although Shi Qian doesn't know much about the history of platinum sanpin, as a thief, his greatest ability is to know what is valuable.

After a long time of talking, Liu Mang finally half-believed that such a heavy cake was worth a lot of money.

"Engong, your grandfather saved my grandfather's life, this is my repayment of your grandfather for my grandfather!"

The time moves quickly, and when he says this, it is like a tongue twister, and it is like turning a corner and scolding.

Liu Mang pouted. If this money comes from the right source, then the person in front of you will not be on the drum and move in time.

Three thousand. For the Liu family, it is a huge amount of money! It is basically equivalent to the cost of a year's meal for a family of three of Liu's family!

"Take it and buy some delicious food and clothes for my father and mother, I just scared my mother, and it can be regarded as my filial piety."

Shi Qian said easily, but Liu Mang didn't dare to give the money to his father.

If the old lady saw so much money, she would have to faint again. Daddy knows it's worse, not to mention anything else, you can't run away with a stinking scold and a few slaps.

Liu Mang didn't want to accept it, and even wanted to persuade Shi Qian to send the money back.

Shi Qian is secretive, but he has never done anything to send money back, how can he agree. insisted on saying that he was repaying the Liu family for his grandfather.

It's not that Liu Mang doesn't love money, it's just that this money can't be handed over to his father, it's useless!

Hey!

Liu Mang's eyes lit up.

"I want to use this money to buy officials, okay?"

Shi Qian has already given the money to Liu Mang, of course there will be no objections.

It's just that neither of them has ever bought an official, or even made a deal, and they don't know if they can buy an official.

Shi Qian has wandered outside, although he has not seen much of the world, but he has been to the county seat and the county seat. I know that if I want to buy an official, I must at least go to the county seat.

Liu Mang's home is under the jurisdiction of Wuji County, and it is twenty miles away from the county seat.

The two set off overnight.

This time, I didn't dare to enter or exit through the gate, so I opened the window and slipped out. Of course, Liu Mang will not forget to bring the baby bronze mirror.

Twenty miles is not close, but fortunately, sometimes it is not lonely.

Along the way, Shi Qian can also tell Liu Mang about the current situation.

Last summer, Emperor Jianning, also known as Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty, died, and the prince Liu Bian ascended the throne.

Later, Dong Zhuo entered Beijing to take power, deposed Liu Bian, and renamed Liu Xie, the king of Chenliu, as the emperor, which was later called Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty.

Dong Zhuo has no national law, cruelty and murder, and perverse behavior, which finally aroused public outrage.

At the beginning of this year, that is, in the first year of the first peace, Yuan Shao, the prince of Bohai and other eighteen roads, raised troops to crusade against Dong Zhuo.

Hearing that the princes of the Eighteenth Route had already crusaded against Dong Zhuo, Liu Mang looked up to the sky and sighed: "My plan is to be in vain!" ”

Shi Qian couldn't understand Liu Mang's nonsense.

Liu Mang didn't care about crusading against Dong Zhuo, but he was worried about beating Lu Bu!

If you reach the age of 15 early, you will develop into a prince of a town as soon as possible. In that case, take the soldiers and horses, kill the Tiger Prison, send a super fierce general, and kill Lu Bu with one move, Nadora Feng! How cool!

It's too late now, I can only think about it.

The two walked and talked.

Shi Qian didn't have much knowledge, but Liu Mang's knowledge was even less. Shi Qian has a sharp mouth and a clever tongue, although there are many loopholes in what he said, but Liu Mang has no ability to refute it.

Shi Qian and Liu Mang are also very happy to chat, especially Liu Mang's mouth does not often pop out some fresh and interesting words, which is very timely.

The two rushed to Wuji County, it was still dark, and the city gate had not yet opened.

chatting, Shi Qian suddenly said: "Young Master Engong, you have bought an official, don't forget my brother!" ”

"How so!" Liu Mang patted his chest.

This time, although obscene, has little ability other than stealing. But Liu Mang pays attention to righteousness.

The money sent by Shi Qian greatly helped, and Liu Mang would not do the things of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, unloading the mill and killing the donkey.

When it was daybreak, the gates opened. When I arrived at the county office, I inevitably waited for a while.

Finally waited for the yamen to open, and the two inquired and found the house where the buyer was located.

Selling official beards has a long history in the Eastern Han Dynasty. It's just that when it came to Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, he did it to the extreme.

The emperor ordered the opening of a special field for selling officials in the West Garden of the capital, and as long as there was money, all officials could be sold. Except, of course, for the position of the emperor.

Uplink and down.

The emperors took the lead in selling officials, and all states and counties actively followed suit, and the small Wuji County was no exception.

It's just that the highest official position in the county is the county order, so naturally it can't sell too high officials, and the highest is to sell officials such as pavilion chiefs and Li Kui.

There are few such petty officials.

Cao Peng, who was on duty, that is, a small official of the county government, sat listlessly, and when he heard that someone wanted to buy an official, he immediately cheered up.

Seeing that the person was a half-grown child, Cao Peng was deflated. Just as he was about to coax out, Liu Mang hurriedly handed over the white selection, and Cao Peng's eyes lit up.

Spread out a roll of bamboo slips, on which the price is clearly marked, and the price of the pavilion chief, Li Kui and other village officials is written.

Liu Mang glanced at it and almost cried.

Can't afford it......
