In the last issue, I talked about the future life trend of scholars who have achieved the fame of Xiucai, and also gave an example of a way to be opportunistic and get a Xiucai at an extremely small price.

Why is it weak?

Because "Zhou Yi" is the most unpleasant subject in the Five Classics, it can be said that it should be selected as one in a hundred, and there are very few reference books in the natural bookstore, not to mention that you have to bring model texts, and you can spend a penny to catch all such books.

Some people say that this money is also silver, and the empty-handed traveler must also have this money!

It doesn't matter, even if the traverser's pocket is cleaner than his face, there will always be a quilt and cotton robe for the winter at home, right? I took it to the pawnshop and mortgaged it, and I got the money.

Even the pawnshop's courtier (transferred from Xiucai) may be for the sake of you being a scholar, afraid that you will have a bright future in the future if you become famous in the field, so you will not accept the things, and directly give you a penny of silver, so as to form a good fate.

As soon as Xiucai arrives, the elders of the clan or the village elders will reward you with at least two taels of silver according to the custom, so as to encourage you to continue your studies...... It is certain that you will not study, and it is more than enough to redeem the quilt and robe that was previously mortgaged.

Now that the capital is also available, then run to the business and go to rest...... As for how to make a fortune with these two taels of silver, that's your problem, they are all omnipotent traversers, do you still need me to teach this?

Besides, if I knew how to make a fortune in business, would I still write a book?

Really, it's hard to be honest!

Gossip and live, today I will talk about how to operate if you want to donate class mixed tricks; Please invite the protagonist of this chapter, donate to the class Chen Yuanwai (has obtained my authorization), applause!

First of all, there are some necessary character settings.

Chen's grandfather, his ancestral home is Linhe County, Shandong Province, a native Shandong villager, there are dozens of acres of fertile land at home, and there is also a grain, rice, oil and salt shop in the county.

It is said that Mr. Chen's parents are all in the hall, and they are also a well-known family in our Linhe County, and the three generations of these ancestors have no relatives with the Washe opera, nor have nothing to do with the beauty of the Qinglou, and they will never be involved in advocating cheapness, but they are a great good citizen.

At this point, the prerequisites for a donation class have been met.

If you want to donate to the official, you must first prove that you are not the material for the imperial examination, otherwise you can save this money......

It is said that this Master Chen entered Mongolia at the age of six, and took the children's examination for the first time at the age of sixteen, but he was not admitted to Xiucai until he was twenty-five...... Spend some money.

If you want to donate to a class, you must first prove that you are a good citizen.

Therefore, the 'hometown citation' issued by the township Lijia, the 'household guarantee' given by the village security chief, and the 'neighborhood protection' issued by the five township neighbors together according to their fingerprints must be complete.

Fortunately, Mr. Chen is a big local household, and he doesn't need to spend money to open a certificate for such a trivial matter, just sell his old face.

The next is 'donating your birth', although Mr. Chen wants to donate to the class, but donating the class also needs to have a background to donate, and a pure white body is not okay.

So Master Chen spent another hundred taels of silver to donate a tribute for himself......

That's right, Master Chen can go directly to the exam now, but do you think he can be admitted to a case that can't even pass the exam? .

After that, it was the 'Shangyuan Donation Officer', and the Qing Dynasty was to set up a donation bureau in each province by the household department yamen to collect the money of the donation officials.

You have to prepare enough bribes in advance to bribe the officials of the donation bureau, so that the money of the donors can be smoothly sent to the yamen of the household department......

Of course, you can also go directly to the Yamen of the Household Department in the capital to redeem it, but this costs more money, and the reason will be explained later.

After the donation is redeemed, you will be issued a leather paper receipt.

And you have to find three incumbent officials who are fellow countrymen with you to stamp the receipts to prove that you Master Chen is Master Chen, not some Jiangyang thief impersonating.

This is called "bonding as a guarantee".

You may say that you don't know any fellow township officials at all, how can you find someone to sign a bond as a guarantee?

It doesn't matter, they all know money.

All you need to do is find a Shandong hometown hall and hand the owner a big red envelope, and he will come forward to help you do this.

Do you know now why you go directly to the capital to redeem more money? This Beijing official has a big appetite!

In the third step, after receiving the donation money handed over by the donation bureau, the household yamen will send you an official document to the donation bureau...... It's not Master Chen's letter of appointment, what are you thinking?

Under the pretext that the Hubu Yamen will ask you for another donation under the pretext that they are now 'fighting Maozi, fighting devils, fighting Yingyi, fighting Faman, suppressing White Lotus, suppressing Changmao, suppressing bandits, suppressing boxers, suppressing the revolutionary party, conscripting Dzungaria, conscripting large and small Hezhuo, Pingsan Fan Stay, building coastal defense, building land guards, building green camps, and raising eight banners...... If you refuse to give, then there is no then.

Grandma's drop, isn't it just a few hundred taels of silver? Given!

The fourth step is to check the odd and double.

To explain briefly, after paying the second donation, the household department will build a file for Mr. Chen, and then the file bag will be stamped and handed over to the officials to be sent to the provinces to wait for vacancies.

However, the donation class suffers more when waiting in line, and it has to be divided into monthly vacancies according to the file number, and the odd number will be drawn this month, and the even number will be drawn next month.

You don't want to wait? No problem, add another donation, no matter even odd or even, you can queue up for vacancies in any month.

If you add a little more, you can skip this link directly and move on to the next step, 'checking'.

It turns out that this donor official has to go to the capital to inspect the banner man Wang Gong to see if you have the face of Changmin's parents.

If you are a professional P player, a little fairy of fresh meat piled up by filters and beautification, then you should go home and wash and sleep, don't go to Beijing to scare the prince.

But Master Chen doesn't have to worry too much, although he does look more stumbling, it's not a big deal...... Anyway, Lao Tzu is rich!

Donate one more sum to avoid this inspection!

The fifth step is to draw lots and divide the vacancies.

At this point, Master Chen, you are already a legitimate county official, but where to become an official will have to be decided by drawing lots in front of the royal gate.

At that time, there was such a saying: "Shi Yuntong, draw Erdong (Shandong, Guangdong, these two places have money); TONG AND TONG, PUMPING GUANGDONG (SPECIAL ECONOMIC ZONE, GDP FIRST IN THE COUNTRY, SHARK FIN RICE OH-YEAH!) ）。

Luck is low, pumping four west (Shaanxi, Shanxi, Jiangxi, Guangxi, the famous poor countryside of the Qing Dynasty); Low and low, pumping Guangxi (not only the poorest, but also the territory at every turn, there are always people who rebel)".

Of course, because of the principle of local avoidance, it is impossible for Master Chen to return to his hometown Shandong to become an official.

Then pay an extra sum of money, designate a place, and go to the neighboring province of Jiangsu (at that time, Jiangsu's economic conditions were second only to Shandong, and now the two provinces are incomparable) to find a county that relies on the sea and the river (there is a water transport ship inspection to fish oil and water) to be a county official.

Now everything is in place, only the east wind is owed.

If Master Chen wants to go to Jiangsu to take office, he can't go alone, he has to hug each other, play the 'quiet, avoid' sign, sound the gong to open the way, and put on an official stand before he can go.

With Master Chen's current conditions, he will definitely not be able to do this.

But it doesn't matter, the owner of the hall who helped Master Chen find a guarantee from fellow township officials appeared again!

After the owner of the guild hall ran around and led the way, a senior official Yu who came to the capital from Jiangsu to traffic southern goods promised to bring the new Chen Zhixian by the way on the way home.

And the guys that Yu Daguan brought with him when he went to Beijing were Chen Zhixian's advocacy players and other entourage.

It's a win-win-win-win-win thing.

Yu Daguan played the official card of Master Chen, and he could evade taxes all the way through the card.

Master Chen, on the other hand, saved the cost of hiring these old people, and could also get acquainted with the local squires through the connections of the big officials, which would be beneficial to the local officials in the future.

However, Master Chen also had to inquire about the details of the senior officials in advance.

Otherwise, halfway through, Yu Daguan wiped his face, took out a snow practice steel knife from his waist, and asked you if Master Chen wants to eat bandao noodles or wonton noodles, then it will be all ruined.

According to the notes of the contemporaries, there is a Qing season, and I don't know how many times this story has appeared in the 'halfway green forest official, Chen Guangrui and Liu Hong'.

There is a bloody lesson from the ancestors, and Master Chen can't be unguarded against this.

Fortunately, this time, Master Chen was lucky, and the tragedy of his ancestors did not happen to him.

Yu Daguan is a genuine businessman, and after Yu Daguan talked with Master Chen again, he felt that Master Chen was a talented person with a bright future, so he married his sister to Master Chen.

This double happiness is coming, and it is gratifying.

After that, the scenery has to go to the post, but on the way to the post, you have to calculate the days in advance, and you must avoid the first month, May, September, these three months to take office.

Why?

Because these three months are the days of tax collection, at that time, officials of all sizes will be able to get a vote from them.

You're going to have to get a share of you, so it looks like you can't be a human being.

In addition, you have to leave a room for the former county magistrate to leave office, so that people don't throw you a mess that is difficult to clean up.

The book is brief, and now it is finally Mr. Chen's turn to take office.

So what is Master Chen's new official going to do with the first fire?

This donation class is naturally to make money.

The main reason is that the Qing court is inseparable from the money provided by the donated classes, and it also thinks that these donated classes have corrupted the officialdom, so the assessment of the donated classes is particularly strict.

Once the tax revenue is uneven that year, then immediately leave the job, never neglect.

Therefore, Master Chen has to hurry up and get back all the money he spent before he is deposed by the imperial court, and at the same time, he has to save another capital for himself to donate to the official or pension again.

That's not a small amount of money.

According to the Qing Dynasty, the top of a county order can only be obtained for four or five thousand taels of silver.

If you specify those counties that are so rich, such as the two Huaijiang and Zhejiang areas (salt tax and transportation) or Guangzhou (thirteen lines to do foreign affairs), don't think about it if you don't take out one or two hundred thousand silver.

Well? Nong asked to donate a lot of money to Shanghai County?

Allah doesn't want money, at this time Shanghai is still a small fishing village with only twelve or thirteen households, what money does it cost to donate a village head?

To get back to the point, let's say that our Master Chen is currently burdened with a lot of money, so what kind of money can this Master Chen make?

Answer, the five flavor shop and the six class room offerings, the tax in the hands of the upper and lower hands, and the corruption of the law and the conscience of the judgment of the case, each give an example to illustrate.

First of all, it is an official five-flavor shop, which is sweet and sour, bitter and salty.

That is, the county medical hall 'salty' (the government-run hospital takes medicinal herbs and businessmen take kickbacks), the county school palace 'sour' (the make-up examination fee handed in by the failed epiphytes), the tax official 'sweet' (not explained), the county post station 'bitter' (the post station can enjoy the county financial allocation every year to welcome and send off the officials at all levels who live in the post station, and you can allocate more funds to the county lord), and the county inspection department 'spicy' (to inspect smuggling).

After that, there are six classes of "households, officials, criminals, soldiers, rituals, and workers" known as "rich, noble, mighty, martial, poor, and cheap", and the so-called "it is better to be an official than an official, and it is better to be good than an official".

Well, think about our brother Song Gongming of Song Gongming in Yuncheng County, Shandong, he is the head of the sixth class and the head of the well-known county officials.

You can sleep for nothing without spending a penny, and it's like Yan Po's pity, wow!

Finally, Chen Xianzun's most important daily work: collecting taxes and grain for the imperial court and apportioning forced labor.

Needless to say, Lord Chen has done everything from the bottom, but here is the main mention of envy.

What should I do if the silver taels of cloth and grain collected by the yamen for tax deduction are not of sufficient fineness and quality?

Answer, and then charge an extra part for the discount is envy, the so-called 'pouring tip kick Hu, open the furnace fire consumption', do not understand please check the dictionary.

In the Qing Dynasty, this consumption was returned to the public, and the imperial court wanted to share the fertilizer with Chen Xianzun in proportion.

Generally speaking, Chen Xianzun gets a year's share of envy silver, ranging from hundreds to thousands of taels.

In addition, as a county magistrate, Mr. Chen needs to appear in court to ask questions on the third and eighth days of every month (3, 8, 13, 18, 23, 28) every month.

I heard the Champs top brand celebrity Yancui girl sue the richest man in the county Yu Daguanren, saying that she and the big official had a spring breeze on a certain month and night, and even a pearl fetus was secretly knotted.

At the end of this October, the girl was pregnant with a man and wanted to bring her son into the family to inherit the property, but the officials refused to admit it, so she sued Master Chen.

I think that Master Chen and Yu Daguan have a friendship of in-law, and they intended to return to the care, so it is specially rumored that the county medical hall is sitting in the doctor Xuan (sitting alone in the front Xuan) to ask right.

When the doctor saw the old man asking, he replied calmly: "Sir, sit down." If you can also grow a baby and get a man overnight, then simply go and buy a lottery ticket, you must know that the million jackpot is not so Chinese.

You can prepare a bowl above the court in advance and coat the bottom of the bowl with honey and wax oil. ”

Master Chen asked, "What is the use of this bowl?"

Doctor Xuan replied; "I'm afraid that the slut wants to drip blood in front of the court to recognize his relatives, and secretly smear alum on the child's hand before it, even if he is not his own, his blood can also be blended.

In order to break the method, the base is specially coated with beeswax, so that the blood droplets must not melt. ”

When Mr. Chen heard that it was good, he tried it in the hall according to his words, but his blood and fruit could not be melted, so he severely reprimanded the forty boards of the woman in the hall to set an example.

Later, Yu Daguan Renguo came to worship with heavy gifts, and Master Chen and Doctor Xuan all got great benefits.

However, it is unpredictable whether it is good or wrong, and the Yellow River will burst in the coming year, flooding for thousands of miles, and it is the county that is just flooding, so the people's livelihood is withering.

Seeing that the summer tax was not neat, and the household department was urging urgently, Master Chen, who was anxious because he was about to go to the official, recruited the big officials to ask for help.

As soon as the big officials saw Master Chen asking for help, they immediately raised their heads and laughed, saying that they had a couplet to ask for the right sentence, which was out of Shanglianyun: "The earthquake is high, and the West Mountain is beautiful."

Old Man Chen changed color when he heard this, got up and calmly cleaned his clothes, and said to him with three bows facing the south: "The door faces the sea, and the water of the three rivers flows for ten thousand years."

There is a saying that 'wear clean and don't rebel, come to you this time", Master Chen slapped his thigh: "What bullshit summer tax and autumn tax, just turn it around!" ”
