Chapter 9 Colleagues? Don't dare to be old!
"Why?"
"Official positions should not be granted lightly!"
"Autopsy, military rations, women and children."
"The official position cannot be granted privately, and it must be approved by the three provinces and six ministries."
"Hurry up with power."
"I have been founding the country for hundreds of years, and there has never been a woman as an official!"
"After returning to the court, I will explain the reason, please give the county lord to replace this body."
"Your Excellency!" Old Man Lin was implicitly angry: "The county lord phoenix crown is unique to the clan and is never given to outsiders!" ”
"Elder Lin, if I succeed in this matter, Your Majesty will compensate me. If things don't get along...... Everything is Hugh. Chu He slowly closed his eyes.
"Yes...... The old minister understood. Lin Lao silently took out a blank confession, and ordered someone to take the four treasures of the study.
Chu He filled in this confession with his own hands, and after careful verification, he took out a finger-sized seal from his bosom and slowly stamped it.
Chu's private seal.
Old Man Lin had a black face, and asked Song Nian to sign and draw on it, in duplicate, sealing one of them, and giving the other to Song Nian for safekeeping.
Song Nian also took it nervously inexplicably.
How do you feel that this piece of paper is quite valuable?
From today onwards, I am a member of the Great Eternal Kingdom?
"Keep it and don't lose it." Chu He solemnly instructed.
"Uh-huh." Song Nian seriously put this farewell into her arms and put it away, it was the first time she had seen Chu He attach so much importance to a thing.
Seeing that Chu He seemed to want to leave, she suddenly remembered something.
As the saying goes, the right does not need to expire, and this is also considered my own job.
"Lord Chu, there is something that needs to be reported by my subordinates."
"Say it." Chu He seemed a little tired.
"The subordinates are in charge of military rations, but they only rely on soldiers to hunt, and they get very little, which is not suitable for the army, do you see if you can buy some pigs and sheep and come back?"
"How much?"
"Five hundred!" Song Nian asked for a sky-high price, what if it happened? She has also felt a little bit of a systematic temper these days, and there is a reward for overcompleting the task.
"Too much."
"Three hundred!"
Chu He shook his head.
"Two hundred, no matter how little it is, my subordinates are only afraid that the military rations will not be enough." The remaining fifty, Song Nian felt that the game sent by the soldiers in the past few days should be enough.
"Just more fried noodles."
"Lord Chu, fried noodles also need mutton fat lard to boil oil."
"Sheep...... A hundred, if you want to be a pig, I'll let the Black Armor Army look for it, and send as many as I can find. ”
"Your Excellency is wise!" Song Nian hurriedly patted Chu He on the back: "With the support of adults, my subordinates promise to get enough military rations within a few days." ”
"Hmm......" Chu He seemed extremely tired and turned to leave.
Song Qizuo...... No, it should be called Master Song. The old man went to requisition pigs and sheep and retired. Old Man Lin's face was not very good-looking.
Song Nian hurriedly said, "Old man, thank you for your hard work. ”
After speaking, Song Nian endured the pain, took out a tael of silver, and stuffed it into Old Man Lin's sleeve: "I also know that it is not easy to buy pigs and sheep, so you have to make a few more trips." ”
If you can complete the task on time and turn on the system, you will make a lot of money.
"Don't worry, Lord Song, the old man will do his best." Old Man Lin said without being salty.
"It's okay, Old Man Lin, everyone is a colleague, why be so polite. It's hard work on the road, so you should take more. What's more, it is not easy to buy pigs and sheep, and it depends on you. Song Nian forced the silver over.
She didn't think that Mr. Lin was short of this money, but after all, it was a sought-after purchase of pigs and sheep, and it was inevitable that someone would get stuck in the neck, and at this time, the money she stuffed in advance could play a role.
It's a little bit of a life experience. Song Nian was a little proud.
"It seems that Lord Song is not at ease with his old ability to do things, so I will put it away, and Lord Song will know when I look back." Old Man Lin seemed to hear Song Nian's meaning, and was slightly displeased.
"Thank you, Lord Lin." Song Nianmei smiled, as long as he collected money, he would say that he would always do his best.
"Don't dare to be!" Old Man Lin turned around and left.
"By the way, Lord Lin, I don't know what official position you have? It is also convenient to call in the future. Song Nian hurriedly asked, she didn't want to lose her etiquette.
"Old body...... The old body has no official rank! After speaking, Old Man Lin pulled his legs and left.
Ah, seeing that Old Man Lin is so trusted by Chu He, he doesn't even have a nine-grade official position?
No wonder the reaction was so violent.
Song Nian was thoughtful.
It seems that Chu He has ideas about himself.
It's not a good thing to be targeted by this kind of murderous maniac and tendon!
It must be greedy for my prosperous beauty!
Song Nian shuddered and decided to give up thinking about this idea that sent chills down his back.
After returning home, the county government quickly sent a set of nine-grade official uniforms.
Song Nian looked at the slightly whitish fabric and the brand-new sewing thread, and thought to himself, could it be that he had taken it off the current head of the county government?
"Daughter, you will wear this official uniform from tomorrow, but you can't be a daughter like in the past." Song Tong happily rubbed this official uniform.
Song Nian felt that this official uniform was white by them.
If you can't wear women's clothes, don't wear them, as a medical dog, I really don't have any research and preferences for dressing up.
"Dad, what the hell is going on?" Song Nian still has to ask clearly.
"Well, Ah Nian, do you know what our family's identity is now?" Song Tong asked Song Nian.
"Our family? has been working for generations, not an official, but also an official, at least I go out to do errands, and use my father's name, there are still people who recognize me. Song Nian replied based on the original owner's memory and his own understanding.
Song Tong shook his head with a bitter face: "No, our family can only be regarded as a half-official." ”
"Half-servant?" Song Nian was sure that he had never heard of this concept.
"In the eyes of the people, our Song family is a official, and we will be afraid of you. When the yamen has something to do, it will naturally remember us, and those forced taxes never come to our family, and they also have money to distribute every day...... But in the official book, the name of our Song family is absolutely not seen, and I never know what benefits there are in the yamen...... This is the half-officer. Song Tong sighed: "Our ancestors have been looking forward to seeking a formal position in the county government. ”
"Can't you take part in the scientific expedition?" Song Nian frowned.
"Heh, within three generations of servitude, you are not allowed to participate in the scientific examination." Song Tong said helplessly: "Even if there is no this, although the ancestors have some savings for generations, where can they support a scholar?" can read and hyphenate and understand official documents, even if it is an ancestor who has accumulated virtue. ”
Only then did Song Nian understand why Song Tong was so concerned about her official position.
In this society, the officials and the people are two completely different societies, and this social difference is felt most clearly by the officials who are sandwiched between the government and the people.
Next, Song Tong told Song Nian in detail about her newly obtained official position.
From the ninth rank, it is an official rank, which is lower than the ninth rank, or the lowest official rank.
The captain of the squire is a kind of military attache from the ninth grade.
The main book of grain and grass is her dispatch, that is, the "post", to manage the grain and grass for the Black Armor Army.
Although it is only the lowest-level official position, it has completed the historic leap from "lowly servitude" and "untouchable" to official!
This is the great benefit of Song Tong's mouth.
Song Nian heard this: "Dad, so, what are the benefits of being an official?" ”
Song Tong was speechless for a while.
What are the benefits of being an official? After her daughter recovered from her illness, she seemed to be enlightened and smart.
Why are you so stupid in this regard?
