"This son has three distinct talents, and at first glance he is the life of a prosperous life, please sit down." After Zhang Renjie entered the door, the chief steward of Gong stood up and stepped forward, this chief steward looked very close to Master Hu of Lu Xiangjiu who had seen him at home, and he was about fifty years older, and he was also a thin figure, with a long face and a white beard. A pair of eyes are rolling around, and at a glance, you know that he is a person who pays attention to many thieves.

"Childe, your tea!" Just now, the shopkeeper came up again, served a cup of tea, and immediately retreated. It's just that Zhang Renjie didn't know that the shopkeeper had unconsciously gestured to report some information about Zhang Renjie to Chief Steward Gong, such as how many entourages there were, what kind of entourage they were, and so on.

Seeing the gestures made by the shopkeeper in secret, the smile on the face of the chief steward Gong became even more: "Dare to ask Gongzi's surname!" ”

Zhang Renjie took a sip of the tea bowl and said with a smile: "Don't be surnamed Zhang, Gong is in charge, I like to go straight to work, I came this time to donate a martial arts division."

Chief Steward Gong smiled so hard that he couldn't see his eyes: "Yo, Zhang Gongzi is generous, now he is a fourth-grade member, and he will be designated as a first-grade high promotion in the future!" The little one is here to say hello to you in advance. ”

Zhang Renjie smiled: "The big steward, let's talk about it quickly, how much silver can be made?!" ”

Chief Steward Huang Gong took out a small abacus from his sleeve, and said while crackling: "There are not many donations now, military donations, disaster relief donations and reclamation donations have been suspended, and river worker donations and coastal defense donations can be handled. However, this donation official has a buckle, and the exchange on the list is 6,600 taels. Childe, do you want to be singles and doubles? If you don't divide odd and even, add two hundred. Two hundred without inspection, and the total of other miscellaneous miscellaneous items is eight thousand taels, Zhang Gongzi, what do you think? ”

Zhang Renjie, the Taoist in this, understands that after donating an official, many people who can become officials immediately are called alternates. It will then be distributed to the provinces for vacancies, and lots will be drawn. According to the number of the official photo, this month's odd number, next month's even number of donations, regardless of the odd number, you can participate in the lottery any month. Add a little more, and you will be exempted from the lottery

At the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, after donating the official, it was customary to bring it to the princes and ministers for inspection, and it looked crooked and cracked, so go home, where did you continue to donate money, and you didn't need to look at it. Even if you look like Sister Feng, you can directly be the parent official of the Qing Dynasty. But when the lottery comes, you have to go to which province you go to. If you want to go where you want to go, if you don't say it, you have to give money again!

Every aspect of the Qing Dynasty's official donation business has undergone full commercial development. The resources are used to the extreme. There are benefits for everyone who handles them. It is no wonder that in the second half of the Qing Dynasty, the emperor wanted to stop this system of donating officials with an annual income of less than 2 million taels countless times, but let the officials rule be corrupted, but he never stopped, just because there is such a huge community of interests!

"It's all right, but it's not over yet, I don't want a name in name, I want to fill in the gaps! The location is Huai'an Mansion in Jiangsu, and I think it shouldn't be a difficult task. ”

Steward Gong thought about it, looked at a book of materials, and then said: "Zhang Gongzi is prepared, the Andong County Garrison and Reserve Division of Huai'an Prefecture is about to be transferred to Yangzhou, just in time!" However, this time is so tight, Zhang Gongzi has designated a place again, this"

"Hehe, I understand, as long as you can take office as quickly as possible, the silver is not a problem, you can make an offer!" Zhang Renjie really didn't inquire about where there was a vacancy in Huai'an Mansion, but he thought that if there was really no vacancy in Huai'an Mansion, he would spend more money to help transfer one and fill it himself. But now it is saved, but if the designated place is in a hurry, the silver must not be a few.

Chief Steward Gong dialed for a while with a small abacus, and then looked up and said: "In addition to the expenses just now, at a fixed price, you can make up another 10,000 taels, a total of 18,000 taels, and it should be approved in about a month!" ”

Zhang Renjie has nothing to say, even if this thing is done, he can still afford to wait for a month, but he can't fully believe the words of this Gong Da Steward, saying that it is a month, and there is moisture in Hassan, and it is about a month, whether it is left or right is not clear, so it may be close to two months? !

He took out a silver ticket of 20,000 taels from his sleeve pocket and handed it to the chief steward: "This matter still needs to be done by the chief steward to worry more, this is the 20,000 taels of Shengchang Ji silver ticket and my seal certificate, except for the hard work of spending the rest as the chief steward, my request is to go to the post as soon as possible, trouble the chief steward!" ”

"Where, where, Childe is too polite!" Grand Steward Gong got two thousand taels more at once, although he was the chief steward here, but two thousand taels was also his three to four months' tap, and all the folds on his smiling face were piled up.

Zhang Renjie handed over not only the silver ticket just now, but also his seal certificate. There are a lot of donors, as long as you have money, you must also be qualified. The donor must be qualified, and the donation must also be qualified, not only the villagers and neighbors must sign a guarantee, but the local government must also open a register of nationality and innocence. If you are a student of Guozijian, you must issue a seal certificate from Guozijian, in a word, the examination of qualifications should be unified, which is also the first feature of the donation system of the Qing Dynasty, unified management.

As soon as the matter was over, Zhang Renjie got a piece of leather paper after the delivery. In a few days, this leather paper will be collected, and it will become an official photo of the same leather paper. After getting the official photo, you can go to work!

Gong Da Steward got such a big benefit, and diligently sent Zhang Renjie downstairs in person, and after witnessing Zhang Renjie's door, he felt as if he had done something wrong. "Little San'er, have you found out where these soldiers are coming from?"

"Back to the chief steward, these soldiers have very strict mouths, and they don't say where they are. But the small one is sure, this must be the kind of very powerful soldier, what kind of word does that come from, oh, sit like a clock, stand like a pine, walk like the wind, the storyteller said, the order is forbidden! This Zhang Gongzi is definitely not an ordinary person! The shopkeeper who led Zhang Renjie up just now replied.

"You kid has a lot of eyesight!" Chief Steward Gong praised it.

Xiao Er, named Xiao San, put on a smile: "This is not what you learned from the chief steward, but the little one is sure that he is not a local, and his accent is like that of the north, but it is not very similar!" ”

"He's from Huai'an Mansion, Jiangsu, okay, you go get busy!" Chief Steward Gong commanded, and then he also took the silver ticket and Zhang Renjie's seal certificate to the donation bureau opposite. He can do a big steward here, that is also a deep background, the previous price of 18,000 taels of silver from Zhang Renjie was already higher, Zhang Renjie also gave an extra 2,000 taels, although these big heads have to be taken away by the officials of the donation bureau, they can also drink some soup.

However, after observing Zhang Renjie and the guards around him, he felt that he needed to make a difference, and he now had a feeling that this young man had a bright future! is so young and old-fashioned, the face is calm, and the background does not seem to be ordinary, the future is unlimited, since the money has been collected, and the sedan chair is carried by everyone, then the next thing is to do everything to do it well, do it beautifully, maybe there will be things to ask for people in the future!

Thinking of this, his feet became a little faster, and when he entered the donation bureau, he went directly to his nephew, who was the donation ambassador of the donation bureau.

"Company commander, now you are an officer? What kind of official is it? Zhang Qishi walked beside Zhang Renjie and asked.

Zhang Renjie didn't have to hide it from the guard squad around him: "This is the capital division, and when we turn around, this piece of leather paper will become the official photo of the capital division, and we will be transferred to Andong County in a month at most, and Andong County will be our other station in the future." ”

"How many people can Du Si manage under his hands, how do I remember that there are only less than 200 people in the green camp in Andong County?"

"Have you been to Anton?" Zhang Renjie asked in surprise.

"My aunt is from Anton, when my aunt died of a serious illness the year before last, I sent the letter, and on the way I was stopped by the subordinates of the Everything, asking for money, but I had no money, just a few dry noodles and cakes. When I was chatting with my aunt and nephew, he said that there is not like our Qinghe patrol, there is a battalion of garrisons, but there are less than 200 people. ”

Zhang Renjie nodded with satisfaction, this news is very timely and good for him, he can arrange it in advance. "Very good, squad leader ten, credit you!"

This Qing court is really the best of the best, the official position is sold at will, and the empty salary in this military camp is also strict to such a point. The soldiers in charge of the capital are at least three hundred, and there are more than 1,200, but there are only more than 100 and less than 200 left in Andong County, and I think half or even more of the vacancies have been eaten! No wonder the Qing court has completely counted on the green camp but can only train in the Nai regiment, no wonder the Hunan army and the Huai army can rise, the reason is here!
