"Ahh Zhou Zhongying's chopsticks fell to the ground: "So much money, it's multiplied tenfold. For more up-to-date chapters, visit: щ. Yingchuan Hou is so rich, he is simply smashing people with money! ”

Unknowingly, his title for Sun Yuan was also changed from "Sun Thief" and "Sun Yuan" to "Marquis of Yingchuan." ”

Today, although American silver began to be imported into China in large quantities, and the country has been on the silver standard for sixty or seventy years, the purchasing power of silver is still extremely high. Especially in this era of war and chaos, hard currencies such as gold and silver have been speculated at extremely high prices.

Converted into white rice, one tael of silver at the end of the Ming Dynasty was equivalent to about 1,000 yuan in later generations. By the time of Kangxi and Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty, it had dropped to six or seven hundred, and by the end of the Qing Dynasty, it was only three or four hundred.

Although the south of the Yangtze River is rich, the rich are only the scholars and the scholar class, ordinary people, all year round to eat and drink the whole family, can save a few taels of silver, even if the life is good.

Sun Yuan took out so much money at once, which was really a big deal.

Judging from the magistrate of a county, it is almost 30,000 yuan per month, which is already the standard for large companies in later generations. As for the county and the six-room supervisor, they can be regarded as small white-collar workers in first-tier cities.

Such an income was astronomical at the end of the Ming Dynasty, when the economy was extremely underdeveloped, and it was still okay to bluff a poor talent like Zhou Zhongying.

"Yes, the Marquis of Yingchuan can collect taxes by himself, and go to sea trade, and mint money by himself, so he is naturally very rich, and he is already the richest man in the world, and what is it to add money to officials. To put it mildly, the annual salary of a magistrate is only equivalent to a horse or an armor of his soldiers. As soon as Lian Qinian finished saying this, he suddenly found that he had lost his words, and if he couldn't say it well, he would be refuted by classmate Zhou. After all, Yangzhou Town minted its own money, which was simply setting up a separate court outside the imperial court, which was tantamount to rebellion.

But Zhou Zhongying didn't seem to be interested in talking to him anymore, and his eyes were straight: "This method is good, greatly increase the income of officials, and bear the expenses of the ya'men."

。 In this way, the magistrate does not have to think about where to go to get back the expenses of the ya'men, and he can do things for the people wholeheartedly, and he also blocks the officials' greed for ink. And ......"

"Also, not to mention being a magistrate, even if you are a six-term head official, that is, the former master, you will have hundreds of taels in a few years, and you will become a well-off family. Moreover, there are no officials at the ya'men under Yangzhou Town, and all the people are officials, and they are officials registered in the imperial court. ”

"yes, who's to say it isn't!" Lian Qinian nodded: "The Marquis of Yingchuan has a good method, after the merger of officials, the road to becoming a scholar of my generation is also much wider." Haha, a talented person can be an official, this is something that has never been done in the past two hundred years, and there are indeed not many talents under the Marquis of Yingchuan, and they are thirsty for talent. ”

He looked at Zhou Zhongying with a smile on his face, but his heart moved: My classmate is so poor that he has taken the exam all his life, but he is still a showman, and he is already crazy if he wants to be an official and get rich. Looking at his situation, isn't he already excited?

"Brother Zhou, this is a good opportunity for you!"

"Ah, me, me, how is that possible?" Hearing this, Zhou Zhongying was like a cat that had been stepped on by the tail, almost jumped up, shaking her head incessantly.

"How could it be?" Lian Qinian put away his smile and said: "Brother Zhou, your moral article foolish brother knows, it is called a 'flower' cluster, but it is a pity that it is ill-fated, but now it is just a show of fame." The reason for this is that it is really unlucky, and there are too many people in the southeast of me, and thousands of troops have crossed the single-plank bridge! If it is changed to the north, I am afraid that Brother Zhou, don't talk about lifting people, even if it is a jinshi, you will be admitted. ”

"Nowadays, Yangzhou Town has opened the imperial examination, and Xiucai can also take the exam, and many people disagree with Yingchuan Hou, and it is estimated that there are not many people who go to the exam, and it is still unknown whether Sun Hou can recruit so many officials. If so, I'm sure that if Brother Zhou goes to take the exam, he will definitely be successful. Don't dare to say anything else, a six-room owner can still get the position. ”

"What, what so-called civil service exam did you ask me to take?" Zhou Zhongyinghuo turned his head to look at Lian Qinian.

Lian Qinian: "If Brother Zhou passes the exam, wouldn't it be a good thing to be able to show his ambitions in his 'chest'." He didn't realize Zhou Zhongying's strange appearance, and smiled and 'touched' his forehead: "Brother Fool has been 'mingling' with the people of Yangzhou Town all the year round, but you don't know that the people of Ningxiang Army are too strict in their work, and they follow the regulations for everything, and they don't talk about favors at all." If you can be an official in Yangzhou Town, as long as you can be elected to the 'gate' of the town ya, even if you have a small position, maybe the foolish brother will be able to take care of him when he walks the boat in the future

。 ”

"Joke, how can I be an official of Sun Yuan, although this exam has been recognized by the imperial court, and the Chinese-style scholar is also regarded as a registered official, but what is the difference between this and an elected official who is not from the right path? In the future, if a colleague asks me what year I am a jinshi, I, Zhou Zhongying, can't afford to lose this person! Zhou Zhongying slapped the case and shouted: "Brother Lian, can't you see that Sun Yuan has been 'exposed'?" This time, he and the imperial court are both open and scholarly, and he also knows that the lifters will naturally go to participate in the 'spring' of the imperial court, and they will not take him seriously. Therefore, the restrictions were relaxed, and even Xiucai was accepted. This is clearly bribing and dividing the people in our Shilin, but it's ridiculous that you can't even see this clearly. Hehe, Sun Yuan and Ma Shiying, Qian Qianyi, Ruan Dacheng, and Lu Jiude are 'traitors' and villains, what kind of good people are they. You have to mention this again in the future, otherwise, don't blame me for cutting off your feet and saying goodbye! ”

At this time, the lady of the Lian family came over with a burden and stuffed it in his hand, and asked: "Zhou Xianggong is going back to the house, and it will be the 'Spring' Festival soon, this is a little gift from the husband." It's not worth a few dollars, just some fruits, snacks, and please take it home for your sister-in-law and children. ”

"Hmph." Zhou Zhongying snorted coldly, took the burden and walked away.

When he walked away, the lady of the Lian family scolded: "A sour ding, I think I think I am a character after reading for a few years and being a poor showman." What's the matter, the family is so poor that the whole family is going to starve to death, I heard that in order to support the family, his wife went to work in the Hou Ye's ordnance factory. If he really has the ability, he should raise his wife and children at home with brocade clothes and 'jade' food. ”

Lian Qinian said: "Lady, don't be too mean to speak. After all, there is some affection for classmates. ”

The lady of the Lian family said angrily: "I know that the husband is good-hearted, but I am only angry that Zhou Xiucai just ate us and drank us, and also wore our clothes to accept our gifts, so what is there to say a few good words." But he's good, he wants benefits, and he has such an attitude towards you, it's just not that he doesn't give face. In my opinion, this kind of person should just be blasted out. ”

Lian Qinian smiled faintly: "I am now a businessman, a businessman, making money with harmony and making good connections." Maybe we'll come to him in the future. ”

"Please, just his poor sourness?" The lady of the Lian family spat sarcastically.

"I can't tell!" Lian Qi Nian said leisurely: "Lady, I can see that this week's brother is obviously tempted by Yingchuan Hou's civil service exam." He spoke righteously and awe-inspiringly, and scolded Hou Ye as a thief, but he couldn't resist the 'temptation' and 'confusion' of hundreds of taels of silver a year and the fame of the registered officials. This is the only chance in his life, how can he let it go. My classmate, his words are full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, but in his stomach is a man and a woman, and he is very vulgar, I know him too well

。 In the future, he will become an official, maybe we will have time to ask him to take care of him. ”

The lady of the Lian family said with a smile: "Xianggong is really good at looking at people, but even if he goes to the exam, he must be able to win!" ”

"Why can't he win, in my opinion, he is at least sixty percent sure of the Chinese style." Lian Qinian said: "First of all, Zhou Zhongying's article is still very good, after all, he has read books for decades. Secondly, Shilin did not recognize this exam in Yangzhou Town, and it is estimated that there are not many people who go to refer to it, and the quota may not be full. Hou Ye is too eager for talents, so I am afraid that it will be a thousand gold to buy horse bones. ”

The lady of the Lian family smiled and said: "Xianggong, since this is the case, why don't you also go to the examination to be an official, so as to glorify your ancestors." ”

Lian Qinian shook his head: "No, I've been busy with business in the past few years, and everything in the books has been lost, so I can't make a fool of myself." The rules of Yangzhou Town are too big, if I go to be an official, I'm afraid I won't be able to stand it. Moreover, I now have a reputation for showing off my talents, and it is convenient to do business, but it doesn't matter if I am an official or not. ”

Lian's lady: "Yes, even if you go to the county lord exam, it will only be three hundred taels of silver a year." We do our own business, but the annual income is so large that it exceeds this number, and we are still at ease. ”

"That's right." Lian Qi Nian said: The key is that I haven't studied for many years, and now I go to the exam, but I can't pass the exam!

***********************************************

Wearing the new robe given by Lian Qi Nian and carrying a gift from Lian's house, Zhou Zhongying remembered what his classmates had just said about the Yangzhou Town Civil Service Examination, and his heart suddenly ignited a raging heat, and his body suddenly became hot.

Sun Yuangang and Qian Qianyi, Ma Shiying, Ruan Dacheng, these 'traitors', Lu Jiude, and these eunuchs formed a party, and covered the sky with one hand in the government and the opposition, and they have been spurned by the entire Shilinruo, and few people will definitely participate in this exam.

Therefore, he can only settle for the next best thing and lower the standard to the level of Xiucai. Moreover, he promised that once he was admitted, he would be awarded an official position immediately, and he was still a registered official recognized by the imperial court.

There is no competition, talent can be tested, and you will become an official immediately...... Isn't this specially tailored for me Zhou Zhongying?

According to my article, if you really go to the test, you will be like a treasure in your pocket, and you will immediately be an adult with an annual income of 100 taels!

However, if I had become Sun Yuan's official, I would not have been ridiculed by fellow scholars...... But now that I'm half-dead, don't I be laughed at by people for my poor and sour appearance of playing the autumn wind everywhere?

To test, or not to test?

For a while, Zhou Zhongying's heart was 'fighting' with heaven and man, and he was 'making' a hot sweat all over his body

。

He didn't know how to walk to the 'door' of his house, and when he entered the yard, he saw four children playing with snowball fights on the snow in the yard. When I asked them if they had eaten, the children replied that their mother had just finished eating for the family and had gone to work in the factory again.

Hearing that the child had already eaten lunch, Zhou Zhongying breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to enter the house, the neighbor Bai family lady leaned on the wall and smiled: "Xiucai, you are back, where are you going to eat and drink in the autumn breeze?" His head suddenly ignited a raging fire, and his body suddenly became hot.
