The three of them turned around the wall and entered the county office.

Xie Hong is still the first time to enter the official mansion, and the handicrafts he engaged in in his previous life are actually very otaku, so he has never even entered the county government axe before, and he looked around along the way, which was quite fresh.

He was a little rude and the other two didn't pay attention to it, Master Lu was leading the way in front, and Wang Zhixian was thinking about his thoughts, he walked steadily on his face, not hurrying or slow, but his heart was like a pot, churning endlessly.

"Master Lu is still old, he doesn't have any eyesight, if he invited people in earlier, these strange places in the back will not be seen by the people outside, and the price will not be so high. When I didn't see the carved lyrics, there were already thousands of taels of silver outside, and the palace allocated to Beizhuang County was only five hundred taels of silver, how could I leave things? ”

He didn't think about the stunned appearance he had just seen, he just secretly calculated in his heart.

It is definitely not okay to take it by force, this thing has been seen by so many people, and this Xie Xiucai is also famous. If he really robbed him, he went to the capital to complain in anger, but he was afraid that his black yarn would not be protected.

The rule of officials during the Hongzhi period was not bad, and Wang Zhixian did not dare to move crooked thoughts.

After taking a seat in the flower hall, he slowly spoke: "Gongzi Xie, this music box is your ancestral treasure, and it is very precious, needless to mention, but since you came to offer it today, you have to make a decision." Now he is benevolent, sympathetic to the people, and will not let the righteous people suffer, I don't know what Gongzi Xie wants? ”

Xie Hong didn't think too much, he said when he saw Bangwen, and worked hard to make this music box, the main purpose was just to tide over the current predicament, and if he could get a sum of money, he would be content. Let the seven-grade petty official in front of him introduce the emperor, although he doesn't understand the officialdom routines, he also knows that it is impossible.

It's better to be content and happy, and have a good relationship with this local official, and you will have the confidence to deal with that bastard in the future. He had already planned these things, but he didn't expect them to cause such a sensation beforehand.

With a smile on his face, he arched his hand and said, "But according to the orders of the lord." ”

The decision was handed over again, Wang Zhixian felt a little difficult to open his mouth, and said hesitantly:

"Gongzi Xie also knew that this music box was a priceless treasure, but the palace never thought that there would be such a treasure, so he only allocated five hundred taels of silver to the county for purchase. The official added another five hundred taels privately, if the treasure is presented to the ** satisfactory, and then there is silver to be set down, then the official will not take a penny, what do you think? After speaking, he looked at Xie Hong with expectation.

Having made up his mind to sell favors, of course he had to be cheerful, Xie Hong shook his head and smiled: "Don't dare to take it as an adult if you say this, and you don't need an adult to break the bank, just take the five hundred taels in the next." ”

He saw that Wang Zhixian looked very embarrassed, and the surname Suo happily agreed directly to confirm this favor. Anyway, five hundred taels or one thousand taels is about the same for him, he has craftsmanship, knowledge, and capital, as long as he hides from his mother, are you afraid that he won't be able to make money? It's more practical to sell personal favors.

Speaking of which, Qipinzhi County is not of high grade, but it has great power, according to Xie Hong's understanding, this position is equivalent to the secretary of the county party committee and county magistrate in the previous life.

Seeing that Xie Hong did not hesitate and agreed, Wang Zhixian was also overjoyed, and said: "Gongzi Xie is really righteous, but this official can't let Gongzi Xie suffer." In this way, next year's township examination, how about this official introduce you to a highly respected teacher in Xuanfu? After speaking, there was expectation in his eyes, just waiting for Xie Hong to thank him.

If you are an ordinary reader, you must be grateful, this is a great favor. The imperial examinations of this era, like all kinds of examinations in later generations, were claimed to be fair, but in fact there were many ways.

What does it mean to be respectable? Degao naturally has a high position, and only when the position is high can he be famous. There is a saying: There are people above, the exam is not difficult, with such a teacher, it is difficult to say that Xie Yuan of the first place, but it is nine out of ten to get on the list of the hometown test. Wang Zhixian was extremely happy when he saw Xie Hong's promise, and wanted to ensure that Xie Hong was from a good background.

Although this favor is not small, Xie Hong is not a serious scholar, and he has no good impression of the Four Books and Five Classics from later generations, and he has no intention of taking the right path of the imperial examination to become an official. What's more, if you want to rely on the imperial examination to become an official, it is not enough to raise people, isn't the magistrate in front of him from a Jinshi?

It is too difficult to rely on Jinshi, if the civil service examination in later generations is called thousands of troops and horses crossing a single-plank bridge, then in the Ming Dynasty, it can be regarded as a tightrope walk! How could he do such an unreliable thing?

Xie Hong already had a plan in his heart, with his skills, as long as he could meet Emperor Zhengde, he would definitely be able to make the emperor happy, and when the time came, where would he have to worry about being an official, he hurriedly refused:

"My lord's kindness is well understood. It's just that the old mother at home is seriously ill and has to take care of her mother at home, so she really has no intention of taking the imperial examination. ”

Wang Zhixian didn't expect such a big pie to be thrown back, filial piety comes first, Xie Hong refused on the grounds of filial piety to his mother, but it didn't make people feel abrupt, Wang Zhixian groaned for a while, and said: "Gongzi Xie affirms righteousness, and he is a person of pure filial piety, and the official also deeply admires." The county's main book has been vacant for a long time, and the official will play the governor's lord, protect you with a nine-grade main book, what do you think? ”

Jiupin Master Book!? Xie Hong remembered that Yang Xiu in the Three Kingdoms had also done this master book, and such a talented official should not be small, right? This pie is even bigger than the one just now, Rao is Xie Hong's two lives, and he was also smashed into a bit of confusion.

He doesn't know exactly what kind of official this main book is, but this official name is with grade in front of it! He has been through more than half a year, and he has also seen the majesty of those government officials outside. Those wardens are just some miscellaneous fish with no grade, they can bully the market and run rampant in the neighborhood, and now they are talking about officials with grades!

Historical novices can also understand that officials with grades are officially recognized by the state, and in the words of later generations, they have a regular establishment.

I didn't expect to show off my skills once, and the effect was so good, and when I had the opportunity to meet the emperor, my brother would take some more powerful tricks out, and why don't you get a big official right away?

Before the left and right mothers are sick, they can't go to the Xuanfu, so it's better to be an official for a few days, but I don't know if the history is big or my main book, if I can suppress Chen Guangyuan's bastard, it would be better, so it would be convenient to take revenge. Thinking of the enemy, Xie Hong wanted to confirm it, so he asked rhetorically: "My lord, I don't know what this master book is......"
