"Big brother, what the fourth brother said is reasonable!"

"Big brother, why don't you just give up your official position and help Zhu Zhonglang?!"

“……”

After listening to the big cake painted by Li Feng, the younger brothers couldn't sit still, and you persuaded Liu Bei with a word.

What county lieutenant to be? If you want to be too guarded, you should start with too much, and the border county will be too guarded!

Since the eldest brother's surname is Liu, he should be worthy of this surname!

Liu Bei also yearned for this big cake, and immediately clapped his hand and said: "Okay! When Zilong returns, he will go to Guangzong! ”

Having made up their minds, the brothers squeezed together excitedly and fell asleep.

On the other end, the light screen flickered.

……

Li Feng glanced at his attribute panel, put his legs on Guan Yu's body, and fell asleep.

Not bad

There are already two military skills, and they can break their wrists with God Zhangjiao.

……

In a flash, seven days passed.

Zhao Yun returned as scheduled, except for Zhang Fei, the blue volume of the brothers was basically full.

Just as the brothers were about to leave, the system prompted that they arrived as scheduled.

[It's the first day of August, do you want to start a nearby search?] 】

"To search or not to search?"

Li Feng was a little difficult.

Search it, Zhongshan County has just been ravaged by yellow turban thieves, and you may not be able to search for good things; If you don't search it, you can't help but have your hands ready to move.

Then let's search.

Anyway, this thing is on time once a month, so you can search it early and feel at ease.

[A blackened superintendent was found nearby...]

[An all-purple rich man was found nearby...]

What's that? All blackened superintendent?

Did this guy come out so early? Also, people have always been working as postal governors in Zhongshan County.

Li Feng nodded suddenly.

But what the hell is this all-purple rich man?

Do the rich still divide colors?

As if knowing the doubts in Li Feng's heart, the system quickly gave an answer.

[Host note, the rich are divided into three levels. The junior rich are orange, which can fund 5,000-10,000 soldiers, representing more than 300 families such as Chen Liuwei's family, Taishan's Wang family, Hedong's Wei family, Qinghe's Cui family, and Weijun's family. The middle-level rich are golden, which can be subsidized to feed 20,000-50,000 soldiers, representing more than 80 families such as the Sima family in Hanoi, the Mi family in Xuzhou, the Zhang family in Guangling, the Lu family in Huainan, and the Lu family in Jiangdong. The high-ranking rich are purple, which can support more than 100,000 soldiers, representing 8 families such as the Yuan family in Runan, the Yang family in Hongnong, the Wang family in Taiyuan, the Cai family in Xiangyang, and the Zhen family in Zhongshan. 】

I'm good!

It can feed more than 100,000 soldiers!

Isn't this rich man Wuji Zhenyi?

Li Feng's eyes lit up, if it was Zhen Yi, then the total wealth of his family was at least a few hundred Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping could not compare.

Zhen Yi is a descendant of Zhen Han, the founder of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and for two hundred years, the family has inherited the official position of 2,000 Shi Yulu from generation to generation. The family wealth accumulated in the past two hundred years is no joke.

That must be seen, and the face is familiar. Maybe Zhen Yi leaked a little between his fingers, and he could kill his eldest brother Liu Bei.

As soon as you make up your mind, the system tasks follow.

[Detected that Cui Lian, the all-black superintendent post, appeared nearby, triggering the main quest eight: Soliciting superintendents.] The task description recruited the superintendent to work for Liu Bei. Reward: 5 points for four-dimensional attributes. 】

[After successfully soliciting the Postmaster, the main quest 9: Lash the Governor will be triggered.] Task description, borrowing the body of the superintendent of the post to whip up, in order to win the hearts of the people. Task reward, 4D attribute 5 points. 】

[Detected that the all-purple rich Zhen Yi appeared nearby, triggering the main quest ten, work together to win.] Mission description, help Liu Bei grow to a height that can protect the Zhen family, and obtain rewards from the Zhen family in all aspects. Quest Rewards: There are no rewards for this quest. 】

No rewards?

Li Feng was stunned.

It was also the first time he had seen a quest without a reward.

However, you have to go up without a reward.

If he remembers correctly, Zhen Yi is not only rich and rivals the country, but also has five daughters who are like flowers and jade, and he is the father-in-law of the whole people in this era.

Li Feng is not the daughter of the five national Tianxiang of the Tuzhen family, he is just thinking about the career of his eldest brother Liu Bei.

Just as he was thinking about it, Liu Bei held the county lieutenant's seal ribbon in his hand, led the horse out of the pavilion, and greeted his younger brothers: "Let's go." ”

"Wait!" Li Feng stretched out his hand to stop Liu Bei, "Big brother, I watched the stars at night and found that something good was coming today, and it was good luck to sit at home, why don't we leave tomorrow?" ”

"Fourth brother, ...... you" Zhang Fei stared at Li Feng with wide eyes and a questioning expression.

Fourth brother, you're starting to be unreliable again.

It was you who instigated the eldest brother to abandon the official position and go to Guangzong to grab the merits of the war, and now it is still you who don't let the eldest brother go to Guangzong.

What the hell are you going to do?

Liu Bei glanced at Li Feng speechlessly, and Yu Guang saw the county commander Yuanqiao coming over with a chubby guy, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

"Xuande, this is Lord Cui Lian Cui, the governor of this county, what is it, aren't you going to resign, just hand over the ribbon to Lord Cui."

Yuan Qiao explained, then stepped aside and let go of Cui Lian, the superintendent of the post.

The chubby Cui Lian glanced at Liu Bei, and said in a tone, "You are Liu Bei?" ”

"Yes, the lower official is Liu Bei." Liu Bei hurriedly bowed again.

"Where are you from?" Cui Lian asked again.

"Bei is after King Jing of Zhongshan."

"Well, how did you get this official position?"

"I was ordered to raise troops to fight against thieves, and after more than 30 battles, I was able to get rid of this position." Liu Bei said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Li Feng was speechless for a while, but he didn't expect that it would be so troublesome to abandon the official, and he would have to be interrogated about his ancestral genealogy.

This blackened post inspector Cui Lian, Zhen Nima's outrageous!

Could it be more outrageous?

Superintendent Cui Lian nodded, "I have been in office for less than a month, why do you want to resign?" ”

"Zhu Zhonglang summoned him, and now he is going to Guangzong to beg for thieves, and he has to abandon his official position."

"Even if the court summons you, it's not easy for this official to keep you, but there are edicts and military letters?"

Liu Bei was stunned for a moment, and said in a hurry: "This... Zhu Zhonglang only called him by mouth, and there was no edict or military letter. ”

"Bold!" Cui Lian, the superintendent of the post, instantly changed his face and said coldly: "You have been in office for less than a year, and you have no edicts or military letters, so it is a big crime to leave your post without permission and go to prison!" Hum! ”

After that, Cui Lian, the superintendent of the post, brushed his sleeves and left, and did not take the seal ribbon in Liu Bei's hand.

The brothers were stunned in place, looking at each other.

Damn, there are really even more outrageous!

Li Feng was shocked.

After the explanation of the county order Yuanqiao, the brothers suddenly realized, Liu Bei sighed: "I didn't know until today, and it is also illegal to resign." ”

The younger brothers nodded one after another, especially Li Feng's face was extremely solemn.

To talk about the decline and fall of the Eastern Han Dynasty, in addition to natural and man-made disasters, most of the responsibility must be attributed to Liu Hong, the emperor. Liu Hong's tenure was the most corrupt and dark period of the Han Dynasty, and there was no one.

After Liu Hong ascended the throne, due to the emptiness of the treasury and the lack of royal expenses, he felt that this emperor was too much, and often lamented that the "predecessor" Emperor Han Huan could not glorify the royal family. Because of his selfless money, he lived a hard life.

What if you don't have money? Liu Hong decided to "sell his official position to raise money" for personal use.

At the beginning of the first year of Guanghe (178), Liu Hong set up the West Garden and began to try to sell officials. In the name of the imperial court, he announced to the world: as long as you are willing to spend money, you can buy all the marquis and subordinate positions from the Marquis of Guannai to Guangluxun. The specific rules for buying officials are: the price of a magistrate is twice as high as that of a court official, and the price of a county official is different, and the promotion of an official must also be paid according to the price. The person seeking the position can evaluate the bid, and the person with the highest bid will win the bid. In addition to the fixed price, it can also be increased or decreased at any time according to the value of the person seeking the official and the property he owns.

Generally speaking, the price of an official position is calculated based on the annual salary of an official. For example, the duty of the Taishou with an annual salary of 2,000 stones, the price is 20 million yuan; The official position of the county magistrate with an annual salary of 600 stones, the price tag is 6 million yuan.

In other words, the price of an official position is about 10,000 times the annual income of an official. Although the generals Duan Cheng, Zhang Wen and others have great merit and high reputation, they have to pay enough money before they ascend to the position of "Three Princes".

Seeing that the money was easy to come by, Liu Hong intensified his efforts. All transfers, promotions, or new appointments to officials must pay one-third or one-quarter of the price of the official position. In other words, an official must first pay the equivalent of his annual income for more than 25 years. Many officials were unable to pay such a high amount of "official fees" and had no choice but to abandon their official duties.

The business of selling officials continued until the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and the whole country was plunged into continuous unrest. Liu Hongcai relented.

Liu Hong made enough money and stopped. But the guards below haven't made enough money, so all kinds of endless fees have come out.

This abandoned official is one of them. When a county-level official takes office, he finds that the county is poor and does not make much money, and usually most of them abandon the official position. So the position was vacant, and the emperor could continue to sell officials to make money, but the guards couldn't make any money.

In response to this phenomenon, the county guards have issued corresponding fees, one is to abandon official money, and the second is to send the governor to ask for bribes every year.

Any official who has been in office for less than one year and wants to leave office needs to pay the corresponding abandonment money before he can leave his post, otherwise he will be punished for the crime of leaving his post without permission.

Unfortunately, Liu Bei is now within the scope of punishment for abandoning official money.
