Chapter 14 Buy a Taishou
Tian Luo glanced at Chu Xiong deeply, and then continued; "This official position is clearly priced, the county order requires 800 gold, the code must be 1,500 gold, the higher the official position, the higher the asking price, if the three princes and the like don't have 10,000 gold, don't think about it."
I listened carefully, and secretly thought to myself: I still have 5,000 gold left in addition to the money to buy land and grain, which is just enough to buy an official position of Taishou, and I still have a certain amount of liquid capital in my hands. The reason why I sharpened my head and wanted to become an official was also deliberate. The film and television dramas on the theme of the Three Kingdoms that I watched in my previous life gave me an inspiration, that is, wherever there is an official position, it is easier for heroes to recruit ministers and generals, and it is relatively easy to establish their own power. In view of this, I will buy the official's idea.
After thinking about it, I asked again: "Brother, what should I do if my younger brother wants to donate a taishou?" ”
"It's simple, you go directly to Luoyang with the money. When today's son sells official positions in Hongdumen, as long as he has money, he doesn't need to be introduced. Speaking of which, today's products are still good. Tian Luo said with a hint of sarcasm in his tone.
Go to Luoyang! Forget it, my body is so fat, although my hands and feet are brisk now, but my lazy nature has not changed much! After all, it used to be hard to walk for many years.
If you don't go, let Jian Yong go, anyway, it's too idle to be in the house, let him go to Luoyang to see and practice, learn more, and it will be easier to use in the future.
After talking about business, after eating with Tian Luo, he said goodbye and went home.
"Xianhe, I have something to ask you, I don't know if it's okay."
"Master, but I said that there is no defense, I will do my best." Jian Yong said respectfully.
"Well, in fact, it's also a good thing, I plan to let you go to Luoyang and help me buy Zhuojun Taishou, I will prepare two thousand gold for you, one thousand five hundred taels to buy officials, and five hundred taels for you, you go to Luoyang to be careful in everything, and also learn more." I will give him these things.
When Jian Yong heard this, this old man was going to be too guarded, so why should he be a worker. I don't have to buy it, it's a good thing, I must do my best, try my best to pretend to be very considerate of Chu Xiong and say, "Don't worry, master, this is about the vital interests of the master, I will do my best." ”
"Okay, you are ready to prepare, let's set off tomorrow," I said to Jian Yong with concern.
"Okay, master, please help me take care of my mother, I'll go back and prepare, say goodbye" This thing still remembers his mother. With that, he turned and left.
Yes, self-motivated, no wonder I have been with Liu Bei for so many years, it turns out that I am also an official fan, and I want to become famous. It's good to have weaknesses, so let's see what Liu Bei will use to dig into the corners of the wall in the future.
For the next few days, I spent almost every day in the tenant village, which was no longer called a tenant village, and I gave it a new name, Junmin Village. Speaking of which, although the villagers were happy to have a name for the village, they did not disagree. I'm just thinking about it a lot.
At present, the villagers are stepping up to do two things, one is to cut down trees to build houses, and the other is to reclaim wasteland. Everyone's enthusiasm for work was very high, and 100 acres of wasteland were reclaimed in only three days.
I saw that my men were in full swing, and I went to help when my hands were itching, but I didn't know anything about these menial farm work, and I ended up not helping them, which added a lot of confusion. But my behavior has made everyone more moved, just imagine that there is a master like me who is not dirty and mingles with everyone, not to mention that the master is still a big fat man, touched, everyone's motivation is more sufficient.
……
After Jian Yong entered Luoyang, he breathed a sigh of relief, finally arrived safely, and found a place called Yingsong Inn to stay. He was unfamiliar with the place when he came here, and when he came to see the first inn, he casually stayed in this inn. After all, there is still a box of gold on his body, and it is dangerous to walk.
After settling down, Jian Yong was about to go out to run errands, so he asked Xiao Er, who went to the shop: "Xiao Er, I want to go out to run errands, do you know where Hongdu Gate is?" ”
"Go out and keep going, until the highest gate stops, and the two people with the yellow door will answer." Xiao Er knew at a glance that the other party was here to buy an official.
"Well, thank you, that's a little bit of a thing."
Walk out of the inn and weave through the bustling streets. Although the Han family was on the verge of collapse at this time, the capital was very prosperous. If you think about it carefully, in fact, it is not surprising that those who can live in Luoyang are worth something, and these people getting together will of course make Luoyang present a prosperous scene.
After a quarter of an hour, walking on the street in front of Hongdu Gate, Jian Yong came to Hongdu Gate and saw many people gathered under a red wall. There are noble sons and old men in their seventies and eighties, but they all have a common characteristic, that is, they are rich.
Jian Yong was a little curious, so he also walked up to watch. I saw a long notice on a red wall of Hongdu Gate, on which was the price of an official position in the imperial court.
Jian Yong couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded, although he had heard about the Ling Emperor's betrayal of the official list, he was still very shocked to be in it at this time.
Jian Yong shook his head with a wry smile, and then raised his head like everyone else and searched for the notice. Jian Yong was looking for the official position of Taishou, and searched from head to back. The official positions were arranged according to the rank of the official in the notice, and finally the position in the middle of the notice began to be the position of Taishou.
Jian Yong's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he hurriedly looked at the price behind, and it was really fifteen hundred gold as the old man said.
Jian Yong continued to search, in his thoughts, it was best to find an official position in Zhuo County, Youzhou, and the master would explain it.
"Youzhou Zhuojun is too shou, priced at 1,500 gold." Seeing this information, Jian Yong was suddenly excited. He originally thought that it would be good to find a Taishou official position in Youzhou, but he didn't expect that the information of Zhuojun would appear on the notice. The place where the lord is currently settled is Zhuo County, Zhuo County, if he can obtain the position of Zhuo County Taishou, it will provide a great boost for the development of the lord's power.
But then Jian Yong's heart was full of doubts. Isn't there a Taishou in this Zhuo County? Why is this position still for sale here?
Jian Yong looked around and saw a young eunuch standing at the door.
Jian Yong hesitated for a moment, and finally walked towards the eunuch.
"This father-in-law, I want to donate a local Taishou, and it happens that there is this position on the list, but I have a question I want to ask my father-in-law, I don't know if I can tell him?" , Jian Yong asked without humility or arrogance.
I have to say here that although Emperor Ling is absurd to be an emperor, he is very good at management, at least these eunuchs who are in charge of receiving them outside Hongdu Gate have a very good attitude towards customers.
The young eunuch looked at Jian Yong kindly, nodded and said, "This son, may I ask." ”
"That's right, before I came, our Taishou was still there, but why is there such a position here?"
The young eunuch frowned, "There is such a thing?" Don't worry, I'll check it for you. By the way, Childe, which county are you talking about? The young eunuch's expression was very serious, and he looked like a boss who cherished his reputation more than his life in later generations.
"It's Zhuo County, Youzhou." , Jian Yong replied.
The young eunuch repeated in a low voice, and then said, "Childe, please wait." Then the young eunuch walked quickly into the Hongdu Gate.
After a while, the young eunuch returned.
"Childe, the Sprinkle family has already checked it for you, and there is no problem. The current Taishou is actually dead, but it has not been announced, just because there is no one to take over for the time being, so the official position has been vacant. If Childe donates this Taishou, he can hand it over as soon as he goes back. ", the young eunuch said with a smile.
Jian Yong suddenly realized, and couldn't help but feel happy in his heart. "That's great, but I don't know what I should do?" , Jian Yong couldn't wait to ask.
The young eunuch smiled, and instead of answering, he asked, "Childe has already decided?" There is a vast land, a poor people, and a lot of outsiders. ”
Jian Yong nodded affirmatively, "Of course." ”
"Okay, Childe, please come with me." , the eunuch made a gesture of please to Jian Yong.
So Jian Yong followed the young eunuch into Hongdu Gate.
After entering the Hongdu Gate, I followed a quiet path to a temple. The young eunuch led Jian Yong to the door and stopped, "Son, please go in, the little one has retired." Then the young eunuch left. ……
It only took a stick of incense for Jian Yong to walk out of the Hongdu Gate. He lost fifteen hundred gold in exchange for an official document stamped with the imperial seal, and this precious document was now in his arms.
The matter is done, have a good rest and play today, and hurry back tomorrow to report the good news to the master. At this time, Jian Yong was also very excited.
