After Ying Lian Zheng, who was also the secretary of the Criminal Department and the head of the household department, asked for a large donation, Liu Tongxun, the minister of military aircraft of the Military Aircraft Department, and Manzhang Jingsu Cheng, but they resolutely opposed it, believing that the big donation was a high-grade and important position, and if it was put up for sale, it would definitely cause further corruption of the rule of officials.

Yu Minzhong, the chief minister of military aircraft, and Fu Longan, another minister of military aircraft and the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, agreed to make a large donation, because there is really not much silver in the treasury at the moment, and in case of this delay in the Jinchuan war and the longevity of the empress dowager, the military aircraft department will be held responsible.

Minister of Military Aircraft Suo Lin, who was also in charge of the affairs of the Ministry of War, had a direct quarrel with Liu Tongxun, and the two sides had their own opinions.

Helplessly, Yu Minzhong asked the Holy Will again whether to make a big donation, but he was told that the emperor went to Yuanmingyuan. After discussing with Fu Longan, Yu Minzhong asked Manzhang Jingqinggui to go to Yuanmingyuan to ask the emperor for the exact will, so that the military aircraft department could also handle things.

Qinggui, who was upright, also did not agree to make a big donation, so he wanted to advise the emperor on this matter, but he didn't think that the emperor didn't see him, but only asked the inner servant to pass on the message, saying that he asked the Military Aircraft Department to seriously supervise the big donation.

At this point, the big donation is no longer possible.

The efficiency of the officials was also fast, and they soon took out 112 official positions above the fourth rank, and 124 titles below the baron, including the first class lieutenant, were ordered to be publicized and circulated to the provinces, so that the incumbent local officials knew about the matter and made it convenient to donate.

Therefore, in fact, the officials and lords on the bulletin board are only one-half of the agreed donations.

But just this half is enough to cause a major earthquake in the capital.

.........

Big donation?

Just when Jia Liu, who was about to leave, wondered what a big donation was, the group of people who had watched the list like him before rushed towards the pen as if they had received some signal.

"Don't worry, don't worry, wait for me to post the list, you can see for yourself!"

The crowd scrambled to ask, and the paste was so anxious that it was hard to put the official list on the notice column, and the crowd exploded in an instant.

"What a big donation, what a big donation!"

"I'll just say that the Queen Mother will have a long life, and the court will definitely make a big donation, how about it, let me talk about it!"

"Good fellow, the first-class light car captain has taken it out and sold it!"

"Salt Law Dao, Patrolman!"

"Vanguard Leader, Guardian Leader, Horse Leader! Obediently, there are all kinds of missing from the three products in the flag! ”

"Adjutant general? How is this possible! ”

All the people who watched the list were shocked by the newly posted official position of big donation, and then someone exploded: "My mother-in-law, it's the salt envoy, it's the salt envoy!" ”

“.......”

This explosion made the crowd who were still shouting just now instantly quieted down, and then they all pulled their legs and left, without bringing their heads back.

It's really a hurry to see it, and it's a hurry to go.

Jia Liu was stunned and didn't know what was going on.

There was a middle-aged man next to him who was watching the list with him who had experience, and when he saw Jia Liu's bewildered look, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Brother don't understand, a big donation is a good thing that can only be encountered in many years, and the official position given is much higher than the usual small donation, especially the salt transport envoy is a rare fat shortage in the world, even if he gives a governor, he will not change it, so those people have to go back quickly." ”

The salt envoy, as the name suggests, must have something to do with the salt administration, what is the most profitable thing in the Qing Dynasty?

Salt, of course.

In the Qianlong Dynasty, the salt merchants in Yangzhou were rich enough to rival the country, and of course, they were also blackmailed by Qianlong.

Jia Liu probably understood the gold content of this salt envoy, but he was even more confused, and asked the middle-aged man: "Since they are fat, what are they going to do?" ”

The man smiled again, and said happily: "Brother thinks these people are for themselves to show the list?" How can it be! They are all looking for those rich people, and now they are facing a big donation from the imperial court, and they have given such a good official, can they go back and inform them quickly... Otherwise, the news is late, and the fat shortage is bought by others, can the master spare him? ”

I see.

Jia Liu nodded, he was in the bureau and cared about Taiche, so he came to see the list in person, otherwise he must have come to see the young master for him.

Of course, the side also shows that the gold content of his young master is too low, and he is completely uncompetitive in donating this project.

"Let's go, go over and take a look, and see what the court has given you!"

The middle-aged man patted Jia Liu on the shoulder and motioned to look at the big donation list together. Jia Liu followed over to see the strangeness, but only glanced at it, and couldn't look any further.

One word, expensive;

Two words, too expensive.

A striker from the third grade actually wanted to tattoo 24,500 taels of silver, and it was only available to flag people.

There is no limit to the purchase of flag people from the deputy general of the second grade, and the problem is that the opening price is 28,800 taels.

The price of that salt transport envoy is even more amazing, as high as 128,400 taels!

It's a fucking money grab!

Jia Liu's heart was shocked, he thought that the small donation list he saw just now was shameless enough, but he didn't expect this big donation list to be shameless.

He didn't know that the list of big donors he was looking at now was actually quite cheap, because those really expensive and hot fat shortages were covered by the officials.

It must be understood that the donation issued by the Qing court is not only for the local tyrants to buy, but also for officials in the system.

So, who can buy it, who can't buy it, there are many doorways inside.

It may not be clear to say that it is a day and a night.

Sighing lightly and shaking his head slightly, Jia Liu's interest in leaving the big donation official list is a rare opportunity, but he is really shy in his pocket. When I came to the list of small donors again, the more I looked at it, the more dissatisfied I became, and the more I looked at it, the more angry I became.

What is the reason?

The cost performance is too low, and it can't be compared with the big donation official list at all.

The lowest sub-county-level county on the small donation list is 980 taels, but according to Jia Liu's own inquiries (afraid that his second brother-in-law Gao Delu will speak with water), if you want to really win the bid and win the project, you have to have at least 1500 taels.

1500 taels doesn't sound like much, the question is how much money does the Jia family have?

The day before yesterday, under the performance of Jia Liu's sincere filial piety, and under the "threat" that if he couldn't be an official, he might as well go to the temple to be a monk, Jia Daquan's psychological defense line was finally broken through little by little.

In the end, the eldest sister Jia Juan gave the final word.

"It's rare for the six sons to know how to be motivated, and our family has to sell iron for the six sons to buy officials!"

Jia Juan, who is also very difficult at home, in order to support her baby brother's career, and for her mother's family to be better in the future, expressed her willingness to sell all the jewelry that her mother's family married back then for her younger brother to buy an official in front of her silent husband!

It can be sold for about seventy or eighty taels.

"The eldest sister is right, I am just a younger brother like the sixth son, if he doesn't learn well, but now that I know how bad it is, how can I, the second sister, stand by and watch!"

After Jia Lan glanced at her husband, who was frowning, she gritted her teeth and said that she was out of two hundred taels.

The second sister's family is in better condition than the eldest sister's family, but the second sister's in-laws are here, and the family is not separated, so the young couple's private money is not much, and two hundred taels is the limit.

It's not easy for the two sisters, but 280 taels is not enough to buy the cheapest county, so the key is to see Jia Daquan as a father.

"This... That one... That's it, the aunts and grandmothers who go out know that for the sake of their brothers, can I, the father, still care! ”

Jia Da was wholeheartedly committed to his son and daughter.
