The ship docked, and the autumn rain suddenly came.

The magistrate Feng Xun held an umbrella and asked: "Yao Haigong, the rain is cold, do you wait for the rain to stop before going ashore?" ”

"It's a good time to do a little bit of rain!"

Wei Zhaocheng pushed away the umbrella stretched out by the servant, carried a trekking pole, and chanted as he walked: "Don't listen to the sound of the forest beating the leaves, why don't you chant and walk slowly." Bamboo cane shoes are lighter than horses, who is afraid? A cloud of smoke and rain is ...... in his life"

Feng Xun gritted his teeth and simply put away the oil umbrella. After thinking about it, he put on his big hat again, and hurried after him: "Yao Haigong is chic and open-minded, and he can be a confidant of Mr. Dongpo!" ”

Seeing this, the scholars in the back put away umbrellas and hats one after another, and went to Xin Qiji's former residence in the autumn drizzle.

"Childe, let's not have an umbrella?" Wei Jianxiong asked.

Fei Yinghuan said: "Let's follow, bring the umbrella, it won't rain much anyway." ”

Zhao Han was quite excited, after all, it was the former residence of Xin Qiji, and he could appreciate the demeanor of a sage from afar.

I heard that the governor was coming to pay respects, and the local governor had been waiting for a long time.

There are many people with the surname Xin nearby, some of whom are descendants of Xin Qiji, and some are descendants of Xin Qiji's domestic servants.

The lieutenant surnamed Xin, led the governor all the way to Huangquan and introduced: "This place is the former residence of the ancestors. ”

"The mountains and rivers are beautiful, it is really a good place to retreat to the countryside!" Wei Zhaocheng exclaimed.

Xin Qiji has two villas in Jiangxi, one is Jiaxuan Manor, which was burned down by fire. So he built the Huangquan Manor, and died here for the rest of his life, with regrets and long deaths.

Zhao Han was squeezed into the crowd of people on the periphery, young and short, jumping on his feet, and finally saw the famous Scoop Spring.

Regret it instantly, it's better not to watch it.

It is a mountain spring, flowing into a scoop-shaped stone pit, and there is nothing unusual and amazing, and it can even be said to be very ordinary.

However, two-thirds of Xin Qiji's hand-me-down lyrics were created here, including the sentence: "I see how charming Qingshan is, and I expect Qingshan to see me like this." ”

Zhao Han suddenly thought of Qin Huai Bayan, and I don't know if that Liu is like this, whether he has started to list for business.

Wei Zhao took a scoop, scooped water in the scoop spring, and praised it after tasting: "Clear and sweet, the only one in the world, you can drink the spring and taste." ”

They are all local scholars, how can they not drink the scoop spring water?

Alas, let's just think I haven't drunk it.

All the scholars stepped forward one after another, you take a sip and I take a sip, all of which are full of beautiful words, as if they are drinking elixir and jade liquid.

Suddenly, the autumn wind was blowing and the raindrops were like beans.

Regardless of the smoke and rain, Wei Zhaocheng covered his head with both hands, ordered the servants to quickly hold the umbrella, and then trotted back to the boat to hide from the rain.

Come with the excitement and return with the defeat.

Xin Qiji's cemetery was halfway up the mountain, and there was definitely no way to pay his respects, so everyone took a boat back to the county seat.

Zhao Han stood at the door of the cabin, admiring the fleet in the rain, and then thinking of Governor Wei's face, he couldn't help but feel sick in his heart.

Fei Yinghuan also came over to enjoy the rain scene, and said happily: "It's really timely rain, otherwise you have to follow to climb the mountain." If you get two or three best friends, brave the rain to sweep the grave of Mr. Jiaxuan, it is also an elegant and happy thing in life. But all of them are clinging here, and they will only disturb Mr. in the spirit of the sky! ”

Zhao Han pointed to more than a dozen ships in the distance: "Those are all government officials?" ”

"No, most of them are temporary servants." Fei Yinghuan shook his head and said.

Temporary servants are ordinary people who work for the government for day labor.

In order to accompany the governor to the mountains and rivers, the county magistrate of Leadshan recruited many people to serve. Not only were they not paid, but the people had to bring their own dry rations, and even the ships were recruited for free.

In addition, the fruits and drinks prepared for mountain climbing are also collected from the relevant government households. Even if you give up halfway, don't go to the mountain to sweep the tomb, and don't return any materials, there is a high probability that they will be divided by the soap officials!

That is to say, Wei Zhao took a trip on a whim, which may lead to some servants selling their sons and daughters.

What's even more terrifying is that Wei Zhaocheng also plans to go to worship Goose Lake Academy!

It is a sacred place of science, and it has been abandoned for a long time. Once the governor came to pay his respects, it had to be cleaned and repaired in accordance with the official process. It will cost a few hundred taels at a minimum, or tens of thousands of taels at most, and the finances of Leadshan County will collapse directly.

And what can Wei Zhaocheng get?

Fame!

Goose Lake Academy is a place where Zhu Xi, Lu Zuqian, Lu Jiuling, Lu Jiuyuan and others gather to give lectures, thus laying the cornerstone of the prosperity of science and psychology for hundreds of years.

Wei Zhaocheng casually worships and repairs, and he can use this to become famous all over the world.

After returning to the county seat and sending Governor Wei back to the hotel to rest, Feng Zhixian immediately convened a meeting of many scholars.

In the face of a group of people and talents, Feng Xun's posture was as low as a gray grandson, and he said in an almost begging tone: "You are all virtuous people in this county, and Yaohai Gong wants to repair the Goose Lake Academy, which is a feat to revitalize the cultural context of Lead Mountain." I also ask all my friends to go home and tell their elders if they can donate some money from each family. The county government is too poor, and being able to pay 100 taels of silver is already a ...... to smash pots and sell iron."

Feng Xun didn't lie, the Leadshan Government really didn't have any money.

Hekou Town, one of the four famous towns in Jiangxi, is the thoroughfare of eight provinces and a trade center. Ehu Town, the shortest distance from Jiangxi to Zhejiang. Yongping Town, the only business road from Jiangxi to Fujian!

These three towns alone can make Leadshan County financially abundant.

But I can't collect taxes!

Moreover, in the huge Leadshan County, there are only more than 10,000 registered population in the government, so there is not much collection of various miscellaneous taxes.

Feng Xun, the magistrate of the county, is extremely aggrieved.

As soon as he heard the call of the county to donate money, all the scholars collectively incarnated as Tai Chi masters.

The location of Goose Lake Academy is remote, and unless the great Confucian of the current world comes to teach, it will not be able to recruit students at all. This dynasty has repaired it several times, and each time it has been abandoned, which is a purely thankless task.

Let the gentry and wealthy families pay money, invite the governor to buy fame, and help the magistrate curry favor with the officials, but get out of the way!

"Yu Xianzun, there are still important things in the younger generation's family, so I will leave first."

"Haojiao County Zun knows that if you are waiting for childbirth, you have to rush back to take care of your late birth."

"County Zun, the younger generation is drenched in the rain and cold, and I have a headache at this time, and I want to find a doctor to prescribe two decoctions."

"County ......"

For a while, the scholars were all scattered, and Feng Zhixian was so anxious that he wanted to cry.

Seeing that Fei Yinghuan was about to leave, Feng Xun couldn't care about his face, and hurriedly stepped forward to grab it: "Brother Zhao, can you have another cup of tea?" ”

Fei Yinghuan said with a smile: "I have drunk a lot of tea today, and I am in a hurry." ”

Feng Xun took Fei Yinghuan's hand and said, "I'll accompany the Dazhao brothers to the toilet." ”

Fei Yinghuan was too lazy to pretend anymore, and said directly: "Fei's has no money." ”

Feng Xun stretched out a slap: "Five thousand taels of silver, Wei Futai can protect the county, not a small county, but the county of a big county." This is a sure-fire deal, and when it comes to other things, it has to be tens of thousands of taels. ”

Fei Yinghuan said with a smile: "As a governor, he can protect the magistrate of a big county?" ”

Feng Xun explained: "Wei Futai's mentor is Zhan Rugong (Chen Yuting), the elder of the Donglin Party. Wei Futai himself is also deeply favored by His Majesty, is it a fluke to be promoted to eight levels in a day? ”

The term "elder" has been used since ancient times, and it mostly appears in daily communication and correspondence notes.

"Needless to say, if I wanted to be a magistrate, I would have taken the money to the ministry to donate officials." Fei Yinghuan directly refused.

Feng Xun said anxiously: "This county is not the county of other knowledge." There are few official vacancies in big counties, not to mention that as long as there are 5,000 taels of silver, the opportunity cannot be lost, and the time will not come again! ”

"Farewell!" Fei Yinghuan brushed his sleeves and left.

"Alas......"

Feng Xun sighed alone, and he didn't care about his face, so he directly wrote a letter to the big family with a lot of people, and helped Wei Zhaocheng sell his official in black and white.

But this official is really not easy to sell, unless he is too old and everyone wants to be admitted to the Jinshi.

Even if you really plan to donate officials, people have their own way, why should they find a new governor?

The only selling point is that only 5,000 taels are left to buy the county magistrate, which is similar to a merchant engaging in discount promotions......

Wei Zhaocheng's abacus is exquisite, thinking about selling officials to make money, and also thinking about repairing Goose Lake Academy to earn fame!

Aboard.

Zhao Han asked, "What's wrong with Childe?" ”

"Poof!"

Fei Yinghuan slapped the bulkhead and scolded: "Blatantly selling official beards, you don't want to lose face, this surnamed Wei should be killed!" ”

Wei Jianxiong muttered, "My surname is also Wei." ”

Fei Yinghuan said angrily: "This Wei Zhaocheng has been a Taoist official for many years, but he has never found a chance to make money. Now that he has been promoted to eight levels in a row and released as the governor of Jiangxi, he is impatient to sell officials everywhere. I heard that he has been inspecting the state and county for the past few months, and he thinks that he has been selling officials all the way to Lead Mountain. For the sake of silver on a dog's day, I really don't even want dough! ”

"Maybe I'm in a hurry to make up for my performance." Zhao Han sneered.

Fei Yinghuan asked: "What is the performance?" ”

Zhao Han smiled: "Slip of the tongue, nothing." ”

Wei Zhaocheng was in a hurry to sell officials everywhere, not just for silver.

You can also make friends with local wealthy families, accept the children of the gentry as protégés, and send party minions to various places as officials. Layers of gangs and factions, so that the Donglin Party has grown, and gradually controls the right to speak from the central to the local.

Fei Yinghuan is hypocritical here, his father who is far away in Goose Lake is very happy to receive Feng Zhixian's letter.

As long as 5,000 taels of silver, you can buy a big county magistrate, this deal is too cost-effective!

618, Double 11, I haven't seen such a sincere business, the discount has been hit to a comminuted fracture, and if you don't hurry up to place an order, it seems that you have lost 100 million.
