Chapter 505: The official is a ghost

Although the buddy paid off Wu Laoliu's debts, excesses have become instinctive, and when encountering this kind of thing, he always understands the cause and effect first, ghosts are like people, and they will stay in the world if they are unhappy, and they will help if they can, not to mention that there can be no beginning and no end to the show, at least each episode of the show should be a complete story.

Figuring out the reason has become a habit for me, but it is undoubtedly a good habit, the old ghost under the pressure of Li Yiling, I had to tell him before and after, it was not the same as what my buddies thought, it has nothing to do with love, things are simple, the old ghost is a person with an identity, and he is still a talented man.

The old ghost's name is Wu Jin, Guangxu's thirty-year Xiucai, he was fifty-one years old when he was admitted to Xiucai, and he basically didn't do anything in his life.

In the past, Xiucai was also graded, and the best results were called "endowment", also known as "Liao Shansheng", and the state distributed food on a monthly basis; secondly, it is called "proliferation", also known as "proliferation", and does not provide food; The third is "attached students", also known as "attached students", that is, students who have just entered the school.

If you become a showman, you will have a fame, ten miles and eight villages, it will be considered a great person, and there are many more privileges, you can see the county master without kneeling, and you can also be exempted from forced labor, at that time, it was the gentry class, and even the government had to give a few thin faces, and the government communicated with the people, and it was inseparable from people like Wu Jin.

With fame. There is a face, and generally there is a wedding and funeral in someone's family. During the New Year's holiday, the people in the village will bring the pig's head meat and ask Xiucai to come forward to write a few couplets. There is a bit of a dispute, and it will also let the Xiucai master come out to give a reason, in short, it has been out of the category of the common people, and it stands to reason that it is good to mix it up like this.

But Wu Jin has studied all his life, and when he is old, he has done well in the exam, and he has become the best-performing student, and he has swept away the depression of the past few decades, and he has the potential to continue to take the exam again and become an official in the imperial court. The meaning of pointing out thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, the highest concept of Confucianism, self-cultivation, Qi family, governing the country, and leveling the world, Wu Jin feels that his self-cultivation and Qi family are almost complete, and it is time to govern the country next.

So Wu Jin began to study hard, waiting for the next year to take the next year. Who would have thought that the preparation was sufficient, but in the coming year, the scientific examination was canceled, and all township examinations were stopped. The examinations were immediately discontinued in the provinces, and the Minister of Education promptly issued various textbooks and instructed the governors to make a concerted effort. The prefecture and county of the government hurriedly set up primary schools all over the township.

For Wu Jin, who has read books all his life, it is simply five thunderbolts. Isn't this blocking people's way to progress? Wu Jin was very depressed, and he didn't understand why the scientific examination system of more than a thousand years was canceled? When people are depressed, they are in a bad mood. It's easy to get sick if he's in a bad mood for a long time, Wu Jin is in his fifties, plus he has a heart disease, he's sick all day long, he always sighs that he was born at the wrong time, he has never been an official and a half-time job in his life, and when he dies, he is a showman who is in the ground, and he is not reconciled.

Wu Jin's son was more filial, and told his father that it was really not possible to donate an official, and the Qing Dynasty was a very interesting dynasty, and donation became an important system that complemented each other with the imperial examination. There are both regular donations and regular donations, and they are managed in a unified manner and the price is clearly marked. The donations were official hats such as red-topped, yellow-topped, and blue-topped, and in most cases, 60 percent of the officials donated themselves. In addition, the people can not only donate officials, but also donate canons, false titles and official uniforms, and even donate the prisoners of the national prison, which is the so-called spending money to buy diplomas.

As a result of the rampant donations, officials are corrupt, bribery is commonplace, and corruption is rampant. The so-called "three years of Qing prefect, 100,000 snowflakes of silver", it costs 4,600 taels of silver to buy a prefect, but his salary is only 60 taels of silver. In order to get back the money as soon as possible, the officials concerned will mostly choose to accept bribes and only get back the capital, but they have no intention of doing things. When the rulers are bad, thieves are everywhere.

Wu Jin doesn't understand these, he just wants to be an official, Wu Jin's son's meaning, the Wu family's family business is not big, and he spent a thousand taels of silver to donate a nine-grade petty official, if his father was happy, he might be sick, if he was unhappy, he would be regarded as an official when he died, because he knew his father too well, in fact, he was an official fan.

But it's no wonder that Wu Jin has been like this for thousands of years, and being an official is the real way to get ahead, Wu Jin very much agrees with his son to donate an official to him, and if you donate an official, you have to find a way, and you have to spend money to find a way, but Wu Jin is a landlord in a village, how big of a person can you know? A lot of money was spent, and people were deceived, so Wu Jin was depressed again.

Just when Wu Jin thought that he would never be an official again in his life, someone gave him an idea, saying that Wu Jin was too dead-eyed, there are many ways to be an official, donating an official is one, building bridges and roads to do good deeds, the court will have a commendation, although it is not a holy decree, it is generally a promulgation and commendation by the governor or the like, and he will be given a false title when he is happy, but he is also an official.

With the hope of being an official, Wu Jin's body got better again, no one persuaded to listen to pondering to repair the bridge and repair the road, it happened that the river at the entrance of the village was relatively wide at that time, and no one had to repair the bridge, everyone had to take a detour to catch a set or something, Wu Jin pondered, the more he pondered, the more he felt that the court would commend him and seal him as an official, and decided to build the bridge here.

Before repairing the bridge, Wu Jin visited the county magistrate, sent some silver, said that the bridge was to be repaired, and asked the county magistrate to report his good deeds, you repair the bridge, and you don't need the county magistrate to take the money, you will repair it, not to mention that there is still silver to take, the county magistrate agreed, so the bridge began to be repaired.

In the past, it was not so simple to repair the bridge, purely manual, the materials were also expensive, they were all carved on the mountain, unlike now, the cement was formed as soon as it was poured, the cost was too big, the time dragged on for a long time, the land at home was sold two-thirds, the bridge was also repaired, just waiting for the imperial court to commend and seal a false title, but it would be the last years of the Qing Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty itself could not take care of it, even the Guangxu Emperor and Lafayette died, who still had the kung fu to take care of him.

The money has been spent, the hard work has been done, the bridge has been repaired, there is no news, can Wu Jin not be depressed? Just put the bridge on the bridge, don't open the bridge, when the court gave me a commendation, sealed me an official, I opened the bridge, for this also found the county master, the county master did report his bridge repair, see him pitiful, he comforted him and said, don't worry, the court has a lot of things recently, and when you are busy with this battle, you will send someone to come.

Then wait, Wu Jin was stunned, guarding the bridge all day long, not opening the bridge, no one let anyone pass, guarding, guarding, and not guarding the commendation of the imperial court, guarding a heavy rainstorm that has not been encountered in a century, the rainstorm has become a disaster, it stands to reason that normal people will go home to hide, you wait for the rain to stop and come out to guard.

Wu Jin was worried about what if the commendation came at this time? Dead and alive don't go home, just guard on the bridge, the heavy rain that has not been encountered in a hundred years is not used to him, flooding, and Wu Jin is swept into the river, it stands to reason that the emperor of the world doesn't care about this matter, it should be under the control of the king of Hades, but Wu Jin is too obsessed, and he doesn't feel that he is dead, and he stays on the bridge all day long and waits for commendation, there are rumors of haunting, so he waits and waits, and waits until an old monk comes, and the old monk sees that there is a dead ghost on the bridge, and he guards the bridge alive and dies and does not leave, so he seals it with a secret spell.

Wu Jin slept for decades as if he had a big dream, but the city was going to be rebuilt, and as soon as the bridge was moved, the secret spell that sealed Wu Jin was destroyed, and Wu Jin began to guard the bridge and other commendations again, but the construction team didn't care about this, and wanted to demolish the bridge, can Wu Jin do it? There were those things before, and they were scared and shaved their heads, and then they waited for the Korean Taoist priest Tian Zhongxiao and a few of our brothers.

Wu Jin said very aggrieved, saying that he had never hurt anyone, he was waiting for the court's commendation here, who was in the way, that melancholy appearance and experience, it was too miserable, it was really sad for the listeners, and the tears were shed when they heard it, I felt sorry for him, and I lived too badly in my last life......

However, it is not right to consider an ancient person with modern thinking, after all, the environment in which people live is such an environment, and the education they receive is also such an education, except for the dead eye, there is really nothing wrong, not to mention that this is a bridge built by others, a bridge built by themselves, is it wrong to guard and wait for commendation?

I really want to tell him that the emperor is long gone, there are not a few left in the world, the people have long turned over and become the masters, I can't wait for the commendation, let alone the holy decree, that thing is now an antique, it's very old and valuable, I coughed and was about to speak, Li Yiling said with a smile: "Are you relieved when the commendation arrives?" ”

"I have such extravagant hopes in my life, for this bridge, my family bought two-thirds of the land, and there is only a little land left to make a living, my son has turned his face against me, I can't wait for commendation, no one can touch this bridge, this is what I repaired, it is my merit, it is my ...... The imperial court will definitely send someone, it will definitely ......"

Wu Jin is stubborn enough, he is not stubborn and will not guard the stone bridge for so many years, his obsession is to wait for commendation, the official documents, waiting to be an official, if he does not solve this obsession, he will never leave, listening to him will definitely be, I am also very helpless, asked: "Must wait until commendation?" ”

Wu Jin nodded, I suddenly had an idea, and said to him: "That's it, I'm actually a Taoist, come here to observe the people's feelings, you have been pressing this matter for a long time, and the court is in trouble, I'll go back and talk to the emperor, Ming'er, Ming'er's commendation will definitely come, you have to be patient, the court will not forget you, I'm saying good things to you, how can you get a seven-grade." ”

Wu Jin's eyes were full of tears when he heard this, and he saw the appearance of his relatives, his body was trembling, Li Yiling's thousand catties of squeezing were a little unbearable, and he said excitedly: "Xiao Lao'er has seen all the nobles, and he doesn't dare to think about it in the seventh grade, and there is a governor from the eighth grade, and the little old man is content."
