If you want to talk about cash, Jia Daquan, a father who is not better than his son, really doesn't have much in his hands, and even the copper coins are about fifty or sixty taels.

If he really wants to support his son to buy an official, Jia Daquan's only choice is to sell the courtyard left by the old lady, and in addition, he has to sell dozens of acres of land outside the city.

Jia Hanfu, the old lady of the Jia family, was a second-class member back then, so the Qing court gave the Jia family 12 rooms.

The house price in Beijing is 32 taels in the outer city and 38 taels in the city.

According to the official salary given by the Qing court, excluding other gray income and incorruptible silver, the annual salary of a seven-grade official is 45 taels.

That is to say, the annual salary of a seven-rank official can buy a room and a half in Beijing, and the annual salary of a first-grade official can buy five to six rooms with a one-year salary of 180 taels.

From this point of view, the current housing prices in Beijing are quite cheap.

The 12 rooms of the Jia family can be sold for about 450 taels at normal prices.

However, the houses in the city can only be bought and sold between the banner people, and now everyone in the banner knows that something has happened to the Jia family, and the two of them are about to pack up their things and get out of the way to become Han people, so the 12 rooms of the Jia family are lambs to be slaughtered in the eyes of those who are interested, and it is strange that no one takes the opportunity to lower the price.

Jia Daquan estimated that his house could be sold for 30 taels at most, and it could be sold for 400 taels even in the yard.

400 taels plus the cash at home, plus more than 200 taels supported by the two sisters, together it is more than 700 taels.

The lowest county price is 980 taels, which is obviously not enough, so you can only sell the land again.

During the Shunzhi period, because of the merit of the old lady of the Jia family, the Qing court once gave 300 acres of land (the land of the Han people in Gyeonggi who were encircled), and later the old lady Jia successively purchased more than 200 acres, and the land of the Jia family had a total of about 600 acres in the Kangxi period.

After the old lady died, the relationship between the three Jia Zuwang brothers was not very good, so they simply divided the family, and finally there were 200 acres of land left on the end of the long house.

When Jia Zuwang was alive, he sold 50 acres for unknown reasons, so that there were only 150 acres left. After Jia Daquan inherited the family business and became the master, the land was sold every few years, and now only 68 acres remain.

At present, land prices vary from place to place, with some places being expensive and others being cheap. The expensive ones can be sold for 11221 acres, but the cheap ones may be less than 121 acres.

The Jia family's land is in Shunyi County, on the outskirts of Beijing, and the land price in the capital is not bad, and it can be sold for nine taels of silver per mu.

In this way, if you sell all 68 acres of land, you can also earn 600 taels at a time.

There are other messes in the family that can be sold, including the big dark horse that the two of them have raised thin, and the maximum amount of money that the Jia family can provide for Jia Liu's official is 1,500 taels.

This amount of money is barely enough to participate in the bidding of the county leader, but the problem is that Jia Liu doesn't want to be a deputy county-level county leader.

There is no other reason, there is no way to make money.

Although the county is said to be a magistrate, the Tiangao Emperor must have a way to make money, but the county is not the biggest official in a county, and there is also the county lord above, which obviously makes Jia Liu unable to give full play to his talents.

As the old saying goes, it's better to be a chicken's head than a phoenix's tail.

Besides, if you really sell all your belongings and donate to the official, what will happen yesterday?

It's good that they can take office immediately, but if they can't implement the shortage and wait for the candidate, the two of them will not be allowed to starve to death in Beijing City.

Even if Jia Daquan wants to support his son's career, he has to keep some pension money and coffin books.

Wanchun Lou can not go to the back, and the front door also has a small alley with low fees, and the half-closed door or something.

The normal cost of people can't be saved.

Jia Daquan finally told the truth, his son really wants to buy an official, he will never be a hindrance, but he can only pay 1,200 taels at most.

The implication is that if the 1200 taels can be bought, then the father will admit it, after all, which father does not want his son to become a dragon.

But if you can't buy it, you can't be a father and you can't daydream with your son.

If you really want to go out of the flag, you have to live in the future.

Don't be in a hurry to sell the land, the house is estimated to be unkept, but you can use the money from the sale of the house to buy a small yard of three or four rooms in the outer city, so that the two of them will not have a nest in the future, even if they ask for a daughter-in-law, they must first see if there is a house.

Originally, the eldest sister who firmly supported her younger brother's struggle, hard work, and a great career couldn't help but be a little shaken when she heard her father report the family's foundation, after all, she couldn't watch her father drink the northwest wind when she was a girl.

It doesn't seem cost-effective to go bankrupt and donate a petty official.

The eldest brother-in-law Wang Zhi'an came out to speak, it means that it is better to wait and see, in case the family and the guards get things done, the Jia family does not need to raise the flag.

The second brother-in-law, Gao Delu, also agreed, he still didn't support his brother-in-law's yelling to buy officials, and he didn't believe that his brother-in-law could be a big official, and he would rehabilitate the old lady and restore his reputation in the future.

How easy is the official in this world to be?

As for Jia Liu, he must not give up his dream of being an official, but he can't ignore practical issues.

In the end, a compromise is given.

It was he who first went to the ministry to inquire and see if there was an official position that was more affordable. If there is, once the matter of the Jia family's flag cannot be recovered, then immediately smash the pot and sell iron to buy officials.

"No matter where you are an official, Dad, don't worry, your son will always take you with you!"

After showing his filial piety again, Jia Liu went to the Ministry of Officials without even eating lunch to investigate the practical feasibility of buying officials, and hoped that he could pick up a leak.

Soon, Jia Liu found out that Qianlong was still a thief, and the donors given by the official list of officials were not only expensive, but also very remote, and most of the people who were not remote had no real power.

Think about it, officials are the lifeblood of the country, and no matter how much Qianlong wants to hold money, it is impossible for him to take out a key position for sale.

It's basically a pot of porridge sandwiched with a few shredded meat, hanging people.

Of course, this is for Jia Liu. For those rich people who can only spend money to buy official bodies, no matter what official they are, they are pies in the sky, and the emperor descends Longen.

I didn't pick up any leaks after watching it for three days, but I basically understood the market.

is roughly the same as what the second brother-in-law Gao Delu said, the list price of the local municipal prefect (from the fourth product) is 13,300 taels, and the Taoist of the vice province (Zheng Sipin) is 16,640 taels. On the Jingguan side, the list price of the bureau-level director (six-product) is 4,620 taels, and the department-level Langzhong (five-pin) is 9,600 taels.

If you don't want to wait for these, they are basically double the list price.

In the end, it seems that except for the county Cheng who is from the eighth grade, he can still have a chance to participate in the bidding, and the others belong to Jia Liu's unsightly existence.

As for the big donation list that has just been posted, don't even think about it, even if many official positions above make Jia Liu's eyes red.

To be honest, Jia Liu's chances are still good, as soon as he comes, he can meet Qianlong's big donation specially opened for his mother's birthday, and others generally have to wait for seven or eight or even ten years to touch.

But the most painful thing in the world is that the opportunity is clearly in front of you, but you can't grasp it.

Looking up and seeing that it was noon, Jia Liu wanted to go back, and it was no fun to stay here.

When he left, he finally glanced at the small donation list, and said sourly: "These six- and seven-grade Beijing officials have no future, and the imperial court is still selling them so expensive, we are really stupid." ”

Some people don't like to hear this, it's the middle-aged man who watched the big donation list with Raja Liu, so he heard him "hey", walked over and said: "Brother, don't you underestimate this unpromising Beijing official, does Li Minda know?" ”

"Li Min Dagong? Who is it? ”

Jia Liu really didn't know this person.

"It's Li Wei, the important minister of the first emperor!"

The middle-aged man thought to himself that there were still people in this world who didn't know about Li Mindagong, and he was really uninformed.

If it weren't for Jia Liu's typical flag people's children, most of this person would think that Jia Liu was a slave of a family.

Well?

Li Wei!

How could this person Jia Liu not know, he was very familiar, when did Li Wei call Li Minda Gong?

After thinking about it, I thought that the word "Minda" was the nickname given by the imperial court to officials.

Just as Zeng Wenzheng Gong refers to Zeng Guofan, Zuo Wen Xianggong refers to Zuo Zongtang.

However, the nicknames given to civil officials are good with Wen as the first word, such as Wenzheng, Wenzhong, Wengong, Wenxiang or something, Li Wei's "Minda" seems to be much worse, maybe it has some special meaning.

"Back then, Li Minda Gong was just the son of a rich man in Feng County, Jiangsu, but Li Gong bought a foreigner from the Ministry of Officials because he spent 10,000 taels, so he soared to the governor of Zhili and became a member of the Yongzheng Dynasty... So little brother, don't treat the six or seven grade Beijing officials as wrong, if you really want to buy it, maybe one day you will be as famous as Li Minda Gong. ”

The middle-aged man looked envious.

In fact, there are many people who spend money to buy six or seven Jingguan, just to be able to become the second Li Wei, otherwise, who wants to suffer that crime.

There was a young man with sleeves and a shrunken neck next to him who heard the words of the middle-aged man, but couldn't help but sneer, and said: "Although Li Minda Gong is also a donor, but his old man is a figure that the first emperor took a fancy to when he was in the palace, so he has risen to the top, how many people in this world can have the opportunity and blessing of Li Min Dagong?" ”

Hidden Mansion?

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention.

Jia Liu was a stirring spirit at that time, and his mouth suddenly opened: Yes, I can also become the second Li Wei, because I know who the next emperor is!

What is it?

That's the advantage in me!

The originally heavy and dead heart seemed to be injected with some fresh blood, and it was soaring and angry.

However, I didn't get excited for too long, and suddenly it was cold again.

Why?

It is now the thirty-eighth year of Qianlong, and the old guy has to be the emperor for twenty-two years before he is willing to abdicate, and then he has survived for another three years to see the king of Hades, so it will take twenty-five years until Jiaqing comes to power.

Jia Liu is nineteen years old this year, and he will be forty-four years old in twenty-five years, and his good years and youth are no longer there, even if he is the second Li Wei, what is the point.

To be an official, to be a big official, you have to be young!

Twenty years is too long, so long that the world does not turn, and time is pressing.

Jia Liu, this person only seizes the day.

Besides, he didn't want to be an official in order to really love the filial son and grandson of the Xinjueluo family, but to sweep away all pests.
