Chapter Ninety-Nine: Yang Rui Buys Officials

He doesn't want to die in Zhuozhou, he still wants to rely on the merits of Shouzhuozhou to get promoted and make a fortune. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Zhao Guohua didn't know whether what Duo Long Ao said was true or false, so he didn't say anything and saw how Li Xian decided.

Thinking that Zhuozhou would not be able to withstand the attack of the 50,000 army no matter what, Li Xian hurriedly agreed to pay, just because the amount was too large, hoping that it could be reduced.

Facing Tartar to say these words, Li Xian's face was slightly red, and his expression was a little embarrassed.

As the supreme commander of the Zhuozhou garrison, it is indeed a bit disgraceful to spend money to buy peace, but thinking of the terrifying situation of the siege of tens of thousands of Tartar troops, he can't care about face.

"Less? Well, it's not impossible, but you can't lose too much. Duolong Ao said with a smile.

His intimidation had an effect, and he was very proud.

Seeing that General Tartar promised to reduce the amount of compensation a little, Li Xian hurriedly bargained with Duolong Ao.

Although Zhao Guohua didn't want to do this thing of spending money to buy peace, first, it was difficult for him to judge whether there would really be a large army of Tartars to support Zhuozhou, and secondly, he was just a foreign militia group, so it was not good to interfere in the affairs of the Zhuozhou government.

After several bargains, after promising to give Duo Long Ao an extra 10,000 taels of silver, Duo Long Ao finally agreed to reduce the compensation by 200,000 taels of silver.

After the negotiation, Duolong Ao said proudly: "Li Shoubei, although I promised you, I still have to report to the duke, what is the result, I will come back tomorrow." After speaking, he looked at Zhao Guohua defiantly, and Zhao Guohua ignored it.

and Zhao Guohua nodded, and Li Xian led people to escort Duo Long Ao and others out of the city.

The people hated the Tartars, and if Li Xian didn't escort them, maybe the people would beat Duolong Ao and the others to death.

In the city of Nanjing, outside the mansion of the eunuch Qian Lai, Yang Rui and the housekeeper Yang Fu were waiting outside the gate for Qian Lai's summons.

Yang Rui and the housekeeper Yang Fu and the family members Zhang Wu and Liu Qi arrived in Nanjing and found the mansion of the eunuch Qian Lai in Nanjing.

After the money came back, he couldn't see it, and finally spent five hundred taels of silver, and the doorman agreed to help him see the money.

Five hundred taels of silver made Yang Fu feel very distressed, and he whispered dissatisfiedly: "Childe, this is too dark, a doorman dares to ask for five hundred taels of silver." ”

Yang Rui shook his fan, shook his head and said: "You don't understand, these doormen are used to receiving them, and they can't look down on it if they have less money, as long as they see the money, what is the money to buy an official, and when I become an official, are you afraid that I will have no money?" ”

"Yes, yes, yes, it's still Childe's far-sightedness." Yang Fu said with a flattering smile.

At this time, the doorman who had received Yang Rui's silver came over and walked in with him.

After going in and waiting for a while, Qian Lai came out of the back hall with a yawn.

Qian Lai is in his forties, with a horse face, thin eyes, and a pointed chin, he is not a good person at first glance, this person is extremely greedy for money, and when he saw Yang Rui, he looked up and down, and then lazily dragged and asked in a long voice: "Is there anything Yang Gongzi looking for our family?" We're very busy. ”

Last night, he and the sons of several leading figures in Nanjing City gambled all night on the flower boat of the Qinhuai River, lost 100,000 taels of silver, and came back with a lot of anger in annoyance.

Thinking that another large sum of silver had arrived, he got up to see it. Otherwise, he wouldn't want to get out of bed.

Bowing down for a long time, Yang Rui said with a smile on his face: "Xiaosheng knows that his father-in-law is a busy man, working hard for Daming all day long, Nanjing City is so prosperous, it is inseparable from his father-in-law's hard work, please let my father-in-law worship Xiaosheng again." After saying that, it was a 90-degree bow.

This is Yang Rui's strength, and when he said this, he was very useful to listen to the money.

"Hahahaha......" Qian Lai laughed.

After laughing, he said: "Yang Gongzi knows the hard work of our family, he is an understanding person, our family likes it, to be honest, our family is really not easy, every day is busy with his feet, he transfers money and grain to Liaodong, trains the army in Nanjing, and completes the procurement in the palace, but how many people know the hardships in this." ”

"Yes. Indeed it is. My father-in-law is really hard. Xiaosheng is willing to worry about Da Ming," Yang Rui said flatteringly.

He didn't want to listen to the nonsense of this dead eunuch, and he didn't believe that this dead eunuch would work for Daming, and he also knew that the eunuch's so-called work was not only to make money, but to fight for power and profit.

Seeing that he was on the topic, Qian glanced at him and said lightly: "At present, Daming is in financial difficulties, there are Tartars on the outside, and there are rogues on the inside, and they are reaching out to ask for money everywhere, how does Yang Gongzi plan to share the worries of Daming?" ”

Hearing him ask about the price of buying an official, Yang Rui was not stupid, and said with a smile: "My father-in-law also knows that in different positions, the degree of worry for Daming is also different......" He stopped talking.

Looking at him, Qian said: "At present, the north has experienced wars, and many state and county officials are vacant, and Lord Tian Weijia, the secretary of the ministry, has entrusted me to recommend some powerful young talents to take up the post, as long as he pays 50,000 taels of silver to the ministry, he can go to the post, I don't know if Yang Gongzi has this intention?" ”

Northern? Lao Tzu didn't go, a rogue came, a tartar came, maybe he didn't even get back the capital to buy an official, and his life was lost. Yang Rui said secretly in his heart.

After thinking for a while, Yang Ruiyan said with a smile: "Xiaosheng also wants to go to the north to serve, but Xiaosheng is not in good health, he can't stand the cold, and it is difficult to act when he goes to the north, so Xiaosheng wants to do things for the court in the south." ”

Looking at Yang Rui's appearance, Qian Lai knew that this was a greedy person who was afraid of death, if Yang Rui dared to pat his chest and go to the north to take up a post, then Qian Lai only planned to charge him a thousand taels of silver and entrust him to a magistrate.

Although Qian Lai is a eunuch, he only knows how to make money, but as the emperor's minion, he also knows a truth, that is, without the Ming Dynasty, these eunuchs are just a fart, so he also hopes to elect a few officials who are sincere in their work.

After listening to Yang Rui's words, Qian Lai smiled playfully: "Childe said this, and our family understands, but the southern region is wide, I don't know where Childe wants to go?" ”

"It's best to be around Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Suzhou and Hangzhou." Yang Rui said.

Looking at him, Qian Lai said with a smile: "There is no shortage of county orders in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Suzhou and Hangzhou for the time being, but PY County Cheng happened to be impeached by his boss, if Yang Gongzi really likes to go, it is not impossible to consider." ”

Qian Lai knows that Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Suzhou and Hangzhou are indeed the safest places under the Ming Dynasty, there is no trouble of rogues, and there is no need to worry about the invasion of the Tartars, and the economy is also prosperous.

Rolling his eyes, Yang Ruiyan asked with a smile: "Uncle Qian, I don't know what the asking price of this PY County is?" ”

"Not much, 150,000 taels!" Qian Lai said lightly.

Knowing that Yang Degui's family background is thick, he will open his mouth when the money comes.

"Huh? So much? Yang Rui was taken aback.

After taking a sip of tea, Qian Lai said: "Yang Gongzi, this PY county is a medium county, the climate is suitable, and it is located in a safe area in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, so there are many people who want to go." ”

"Dead eunuch, I want so much, may you be a eunuch for generations." Yang Rui scolded in his heart.

Although Yang Rui is an official fan, the 150,000 taels of silver can buy thousands of acres of good land, and it is enough to consume a quarter of the family's property.

Although he hated money and was greedy, he still had a smile on his face, and he bowed down and said, "Father-in-law, Xiaosheng didn't bring so much silver, I don't know if I can give a few days of grace and let me go back and get it next?" ”

"Young Master Yang, if you don't start as soon as possible, there will be no such shop in this village, you can pay half of the taels first, and our family will give you the official notice, and then send the remaining half by the way when you take office." Qian Lai said with a smile.

A county man sold 150,000 taels of silver, Qian Lai was also very satisfied, in his heart Yang Ruiqian was stupid, just a fat sheep, such a fat sheep, Qian Lai didn't want to let go, so he hurriedly baited him.

"Okay! Good! Yang Rui said in a loud voice, and took out the 50,000 taels of silver tickets he was carrying.

After counting the silver tickets, Qian Lai took out a blank blank with the seal of the ministry, filled in the words "PY County Cheng Yang Rui" and handed it to Yang Rui.

Diploma of resignation, appointment to official position. That is, the official notice, or the official letter, the official is based on the letter, like the appointment of the descendants.

Looking at the coveted body in his hand, Yang Rui was overjoyed, feeling that his body was also lighter, and his feet were floating as if he was stepping on the clouds......

"Yang Xiancheng! Yang County Cheng ......" Qian Lai's shout pulled Yang Rui off the ground.

Seeing that Qian Lai was looking at him, Yang Rui hurriedly knelt on the ground with a "tom", and said excitedly: "Xiaosheng sincerely thanks his father-in-law for his help, if his father-in-law does not dislike it, Xiaosheng is willing to be a righteous son." If the father-in-law doesn't agree, Xiaosheng won't get up. Then he kowtowed to him

Seeing that he was so reckless, it was not easy to shirk the money, and he also liked this person's cleverness, so he smiled half-way: "Okay! Get up, good boy. ”

Hearing that he agreed, Yang Rui stood up.

Looking at him, Qian said: "Young Master Yang, since you and I have become father and son, then charge you 10,000 taels less, and count it as a coil sent to you by your father-in-law." ”

"Father-in-law. The great kindness of the stepfather will definitely be repaid in this life. Yang Rui said with a sincere face.

After listening to Qian Lai and teaching some unspoken rules of officialdom, Yang Rui walked out of the Qian Mansion with a spring breeze on his face.

Bowing down to thank Qian for the reminder, Yang Rui hurriedly went out.

Looking at his hurried back, Qian Lai yawned, smiled proudly and went back to the house to sleep.

I heard that my son-in-law had become a PY county prince, and the fat housekeeper and the family members Zhang Wu and Liu Qi immediately felt that their worth had skyrocketed.
