Chapter 661: Harvest (5)
"What's the matter? are you too much to count?" said the head of the housekeeper with a smile.
Zhang Zhongjun didn't hear the malice from this sentence, so he said with a smile: "It's really a little more, after I calculated, I think I will get 8300 merits, I don't know what title this merit can get in exchange?"
"8300 meritorious?!" The head of the ceremonial room was stunned, and then looked Zhang Zhongjun up and down with a frown, especially when he looked at the wrapped object a few times, and then said with some suspicion: "You didn't make a mistake?"
"Hehe, of course not, I handed over 40 Cult Scepters and a gold bead this time. Zhang Zhongjun said as he unwrapped the package, revealing the scepter of the cultist, and then took out the gold bead from his pocket and placed it on the table of the master of the ceremonial room.
The master of the ceremonial house is not an uninformed person, he doesn't need to be tested, and when he looks at it, he knows that the evil scepter and the gold bead are real!
Then he couldn't help but pull out an abacus and crackle, 10 to 400 is equal to 8200, 100 gold beads, and sure enough, it is 8300 merit!
Thinking that the 8300 meritorious service was about to be determined from his own hands, the owner of the ceremonial house couldn't be calm, and immediately jumped up and shouted: "You stay here, watch your loot!" and then Biliu rushed out at once.
Zhang Zhongjun naturally immediately stuffed the gold beads back into his arms, repacked the package, and then found a place to sit down, and naturally went to pour tea and eat snacks.
Zhang Zhongjun thought that he would have to wait for a long time, but he didn't expect that as soon as he ate a piece of dim sum and drank a sip of tea, the master of the ceremonial house rushed in with the other five house masters, as well as the chief bookkeeper, the town captain, and the town mayor.
Don't look at Zhang Zhongjun who hasn't seen these principals, the main bookkeeper, the town leader, and the town mayor, but look at their official robes, as well as the position of the town lieutenant Jiang Qing, where do you not know, all the officialdom bosses of Magong Town are here.
"I've seen all of you!" Zhang Zhongjun of course got up and saluted as soon as possible.
"Haha, Lord Zhang is really young and promising, I didn't expect Prince Shuying's imperial decree to be the first to come and hand over the items. A handsome middle-aged five-grade official spoke out with a smile.
"My lord has won the award, and it's just a coincidence. Zhang Zhongjun said this, but he muttered a little in his heart, damn it, Huang Yaojun, who bought a gold bead on his own, didn't get the title of lord in the first place?
Hey, I'm a budding bird, Zhang Zhongjun coped with the congratulations of the officials, and at the same time opened the golden finger to check the strength of these adults.
The town lieutenant Jiang Qing is still blue, and Master Li's master, the town chief, is also blue, and it is also very pure blue.
This made Zhang Zhongjun couldn't help but complain secretly, damn it, this blue, that is, the [Ning Dan Realm] is also too big for him, right? Doesn't it mean that the [Ning Dan Realm] can sweep through the southeastern provinces? But the main officials of this Magong Town are all characters from the [Ning Dan Realm]!
"If it's just a hundred or two hundred merits, it can be said to be a coincidence, but you are more than eight thousand merits, which is not a coincidence. The mayor asserted with a smile.
Zhang Zhongjun couldn't tell him, so he had to arch his hand in embarrassment.
"It's just a pity, Lord Zhang, if you earn more than a thousand more merits and make up enough for 10,000 merits, then you can directly become a baron and be on an equal footing with me. The mayor said with a smile on his face.
But when he heard these words in Zhang Zhongjun's ears, why did he feel a deep chill when he meowed? And now Lao Tzu has become the first person to eat crabs, who has to jump to the position of baron, so Zhang Zhongjun shook his head bitterly and said: "My lord is too famous, this merit is not so easy to earn, and the lower officials have to die for a lifetime to earn this." ”
"Haha, too, if the merits are so easy to earn, then the dynasty is full of nobles. The mayor laughed, and then waved his hand: "Okay, take out the items, let's check them." ”
"Yes!" Zhang Zhongjun also breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly put the gold beads and 40 evil scepters on the table.
The officials present all carefully examined it, because the meritorious service must be confirmed by their signature, and if something goes wrong, it will be troublesome.
After a careful inspection, everyone nodded, after all, Zhang Zhongjun's things are genuine, so naturally it is impossible to counterfeit them.
The mayor of the town signaled, and the master book began to write the document on another piece of copy, and then took it to the mayor of the town for confirmation, and then Zhang Zhongjun for confirmation.
Zhang Zhongjun just glanced at it, and wrote his name, official rank, household registration age, and then wrote the items he handed in, as well as the number of meritorious services he deserved, and only after confirming that it was correct, he put his fingerprint on this number, and then signed it below.
In fact, when Zhang Zhongjun was pointed out by the master book to sign and fingerprint, he still felt strange in his heart, it stands to reason that this kind of people below have turned in meritorious deeds, and the number is actually so much that he meows, how can those who are officials and managers score a lot. But why didn't you react at all now? Instead, you really made sure that you had made a meritorious achievement? With this fingerprint covered, this number can't be changed!
After Zhang Zhongjun signed the official seal with his fingerprints, all the officials in the house signed and stamped the official seal, and at this time, even the emperor could not abolish this document. Even if the number of meritorious deeds on this document is fake, it cannot be abolished, because it is related to the credibility of the imperial court, the credibility of the imperial power and official power, and even if it is fake, you have to pinch your nose and admit it.
Of course, if this is the case, if there is one person present, it will definitely be found from other aspects to exterminate the family. And this is also the reason why so many officials have worked tirelessly and personally inspected one by one before, which is related to their own lives, how can they not be cautious.
The proof was done, and the things were also put away by Lord Jiang Qing himself, and it seems that he should have given the things to Prince Shuying afterwards, so it seems that he should be Prince Shuying's person.
Zhang Zhongjun was sensitive to the fact that the atmosphere was quite good before, but after the documents were confirmed, the atmosphere became a little tense, and almost all the officials were pretending to be indifferent, but they could keenly perceive that these guys were all looking at themselves with their eyes!
Zhang Zhongjun, who didn't understand what was going on, had to wait quietly, and after the mayor took a sip of tea, he smiled and said: "Lord Zhang, your 8300 merits, it's not enough to change a baron, but you only need 100 points to change a lord, I don't know what the remaining 8200 merits are going to be used for?"
Zhang Zhongjun blinked his eyes and arched his hand in confusion: "Please also ask the adults to give advice." But his heart calmed down: "Damn, it turns out that I have been eyeing Lao Tzu's merits, and one or two are eager to breathe! But can this master's merit be traded? Oh, there are many disputes about the merits of the owner, and there are many troubles in trading, but there is no dispute about the merits of the master, so it is the most suitable for trading, because as long as the master's merits have no opinion, then there will be no trouble at all in the transaction." ”
