Hearing Lou Tianhua's request, Fang Yingwu was both surprised and not surprised. Although he has been mostly mixed in the Shilin officialdom since he traveled to this time and space, and rarely has dealt with the bottom, it does not mean that he knows nothing.

In any case, Fang Yingwu also did serious research on Ming history in his previous life, and he didn't see less social materials. He knew that there were some people in the capital, and when they heard that someone had chosen an official, they would take the initiative to attach themselves to them, and the specific names were different, and they could provide various services from manpower to loans. In particular, the relatively affordable magistrates are more popular with this kind of people.

Fang Yingwu did not reject Lou Tianhua in his heart, but he didn't say yes or no, he just smiled and said, "Your news is well-informed!" ”

Lou Tianhua replied: "The county lord laughed, and he didn't look at what he was eating, so he hurried to take refuge as soon as he heard the news." ”

No matter who it is, of course, the people around you are willing to find reliable people who know the roots. After knowing each other for so many years, Fang Yingwu feels that Lou Tianhua is quite reliable, he just likes to take advantage of a small meal or something, and there is nothing wrong with the others, and he is also a literate.

The most important thing is that he is a local snake, and he has been a broker and trader for many years (although he seems to be not very successful), and he is very familiar with all aspects of the capital. On the whole, it is indeed a very good candidate.

Thinking about it in his heart, Fang Yingwu pretended to excuse himself and said: "This official has taken a fancy to you, but there are already other people in this scene, if I invite you again, I am afraid that the meager money will not be enough."

If you are treated as a long-term slave, you are really wronged, after all, you are also a person who has studied for a few years. Can't sweep the floor too much. ”

Lou Tianhua asked with a bitter face: "As soon as I heard the news, I rushed over. Hurrying and hurrying to catch up too late? Who is this gentleman who has taken the lead? Could it be better than being under it? ”

Fang Yingwu pretended to be helpless and said: "It's a relative of my unmarried Yue's family." There are relatives in front of them, and they really can't refuse. ”

Lou Tianhua suddenly realized. He persuaded very sincerely: "The county lord! It doesn't matter if you use it or not, but your curtain is really inappropriate, I persuade you to resign or quit him! ”

Fang Yingwu said strangely: "You don't know anything about him, how dare you assert that it is inappropriate?" ”

Lou Tianhua asked rhetorically: "After selecting the curtain seat, if there is no abnormality, do you want to rely on it?" Big and small business is generally not concealed? ”

Fang Yingwu thought for a while and replied, "It should be so." ”

Lou Tianhua asked again: "Then I only ask one thing next, when the county government ushers in the send-off, if you summon prostitutes to entertain guests, and the county respects you on the spot." And Mrs. Zun's relatives are in front of you, can you be at peace in your heart? ”

Well, this image flashed in Fang Yingwu's mind, and it did make sense. But he still argued: "Your example is not right, the court is not allowed to recruit prostitutes." ”

Lou Tianhua turned his head and left, "If you think so, then you have nothing to say in the future, so you can only leave." ”

"Wait!" Fang Yingwu stopped Lou Tianhua, "Okay, what you said is reasonable!" ”

Lou Tianhua quickly turned around. persuaded again: "Although the examples below are just examples, there are many similar things, and I have never heard of any reliable parents who use relatives as the curtain seats." Business and personal favors can be mutually appropriate. But it must not be confused with family affection. ”

Fang Yingwu waved his hand in annoyance, "What you said has already been understood, but it is impossible to quit this tent." More on that later. ”

"Parents, no one is three-headed and six-armed, if you want to do a good job. Most of them need the help of the curtain. It's just that it's hard to quit if it's unreliable, but you have to find a reliable one at the same time. ”

Lou Tianhua said. While desperately squeezing his eyebrows and making eyes, he puffed up his chest, and almost said, "This person is far away in the sky, and he is close at hand."

Seeing that it was funny in Fang Yingwu's eyes, he interrupted Lou Tianhua's self-expression: "Don't pretend!" If you are interested in taking refuge, this official will naturally wait for you. ”

Lou Tianhua was overjoyed, it can be regarded as finding a long-term meal ticket that looks reliable! He immediately shouted to him: "I have seen the proprietor!" Then he asked in a low voice, "Can this bundle be advanced?" I really can't open the pot at home. ”

Fang Yingwu scolded with a smile: "Since we met, I haven't seen your family open the pot!" I haven't taken office yet, so I'll give you money for this scene first? ”

Lou Tianhua asked very carefully, "Then you can always manage this meal tonight?" Fang Yingwu patted Lou Tianhua and said: "Don't think about this first, go out with me to run errands, and go to the Ministry of Officials to get a diploma!" ”

Then Fang Yingwu went out in full gear, bringing Wang Ying and Fang Yingshi as usual, but this time there was another Lou Tianhua.

Fang Yingwu looked at the three people behind him, and suddenly felt very burdensome, and said to himself: "With three entourages, will it be a bit much?" ”

Lou Tianhua was afraid that he would be left behind by Fang Yingwu, so he hurriedly answered: "No more, no more!" The county lord went out on patrol, that had to be a gong to open the way, ride a horse to guide, and then there were a few pairs of tall foot cards in front of the play, and there were twenty or thirty servants on the left and right behind. Proprietor, you are only with three people, how much? Not much more! ”

Fang Yingwu was puzzled: "Are you a county magistrate from other places?" At the feet of the Son of Heaven in Beijing, there are countless officials, everyone is a master, how can there be such a big pomp? ”

Not to mention anything else, his father Fang Qingzhi doesn't know how much higher than the county magistrate, and he doesn't see any pomp and circumstance when he goes out every day.

Lou Tianhua explained very positively: "The county respects something, in the capital, the parents of Shuntianfu and Jingxian are responsible for suppressing the place, how can they do it without prestige? So it's franchised and pompous! However, it is limited to pomp and circumstance, and when you see other officials, you have to avoid it. ”

Fang Yingwu's heart shook when he heard it, and he couldn't help but yearn for it. Imagining the majestic scene, he was a little excited, and couldn't help but look forward to his new job.

When he arrived at the Ministry of Officials, Fang Yingwu did not suffer any difficulties - this was very unexpected, and he smoothly received the confession and diploma from the little official of the Literature and Anthology Division.

It turned out that there was an official of the Anthology Department who was a protégé of Shang Xianggong in the past, and yesterday he saw Fang Yingwu's diploma, so he sent the secretary office to take the initiative to send it to the door, but he was blocked (beaten) back by Fang Yingwu's incomprehensible style. Knowing the reason, Fang Yingwu could only make amends again and again, and made an appointment for a future dinner.

After receiving the confession and diploma, theoretically speaking, Fang Yingwu can go to Wanping County to take office now! Fang Yingwu said left and right: "Tomorrow is an auspicious day for the zodiac? ”

Wang Ying and Fang Yingshi couldn't say one, two, three, but Lou Tianhua stopped him: "The proprietor should be slow, don't rush to take office first." ”

Fang Yingwu said: "It's all in the capital, and you don't have to go far away, you don't need to make more preparations, why wait?" ”

Lou Tianhua replied: "The proprietor can open a red ticket for Zaixia, find a few familiar shopkeepers in Xia, and go to Wanping County Ya first." ”

Fang Yingwu was even more puzzled: "Why are you looking for a few shopkeepers?" What are you going to do first? ”

Lou Tianhua patiently explained: "The proprietor doesn't know anything, but when the parents and officials are handed over, the most important thing is the money and grain in the warehouse. According to the industry rules, it is important to take stock before the formal handover, and once the handover is completed, it will be irrelevant.

If the predecessor has a shortfall, but the proprietor rashly takes over the seal, wouldn't it be tantamount to taking over the deficit for the predecessor?

Therefore, I have to find a few familiar shopkeepers and go to the county government first, and after taking stock of the money and grain in the warehouse with my predecessor, I will report to the proprietor for decision. ”

Fang Yingwu said impatiently: "If there is no shortfall, it will be over, if there is a shortfall, ask him to make up for it, what else do you need to decide?" ”

"If the predecessor has a deficit, the proprietor can either strictly pursue it, or he can choose to release someone to send him a favor that he will meet in the future. If you want money or favors, of course, you have to make a decision. ”

It turns out that there are still these doorways! Fang Yingwu was stunned, how many times was he ordered by Lou Tianhua today? After four years, I really mixed into a clear stream that doesn't eat fireworks in the world, how can I be embarrassed!

If he is not demoted to the magistrate, it is possible to move from the Hanlin editors who have been in the articles of the word forest to the Shangshu Shilang or even the cabinet system, which will cause evil consequences, and the Ming Dynasty will die like this! (To be continued......)
