The father and son joked with each other, and Jia Lian realized that his uncle's surname was Zhang, his name was Lake, and his name was Erhe. It is the same Jinshi born during the reign of Emperor Taishang, and the Jinshi and the first given by this dynasty.

In a Qingliu leader like the Zhang family, such an exam score is equivalent to a half-off list.

The Zhang family is a well-known cultivator and a leader of the Qingliu family, and their own conditions must be mastered; A six-jinshi, father and son are talking about the Zhang family.

Although the old man of the Zhang family is gone, he presided over the imperial examination many times back then, but it can be said that he is full of peach and plums.

Although because of the involvement of the first prince, there are not many people in the Zhang family now, but if it is restored, the network will spread all over Shanxi, Shandong and some parts of Henan.

It's a pity that people go to tea and cool, these relationships are not related now, and they have to wait until there is such a person in the Zhang family who sits in a key position before these relationships are useful.

And Zhang Erhe is not Jia Lian's uncle, but a cousin, who has the same grandfather as Jia Lian's mother who died early.

However, the Zhang family has few daughters, and the uncles in the family love the girl very much, so they also have a little affection for Jia Lian, the nephew.

Saying that, Jia Yu took out a silver ticket of three thousand taels and stuffed it into Jia Liandao.

"You take it, after your father and your uncle discuss it, you will stuff the money to your uncle!"

Jia Lianmeizizi, who got the money, thought that his father was sensible and knew that he had taken the initiative to give pocket money, who knew that the money was not for himself, and wondered.

"Why, isn't that my uncle?"

Three thousand taels of silver is not a decimal number, it is enough for Jia Lian to go to the Qinglou to prostitute until he loses contact.

Jia Yu saw that Jia Lian was going to put the money in his pocket, and gave Jia Lian a head and said.

"Family affection is affection, business is business; The head of the Seal Inspection Department of the Ministry of Officials is a place to buy and sell officials, and it is the private treasury of the emperor Lao Tzu, do you dare to squint the emperor's money? ”

Jia Lian realized that his uncle was also a second-class dealer, which was not an appropriate companion.

"Dad, you talk well, why are you beating people!"

Jia Yu was not used to being sick and gave Jia Lian another time, and it was natural for Lao Tzu to beat his son, by the way.

"Don't think that this is a business and no human touch just because you spend money; Remember your uncle's kindness, others can't do it with this little money! ”

Jia Lian, who was familiar with general affairs, was a little surprised.

Three thousand taels of silver is not a decimal number!

One hundred taels of silver is enough for a bankrupt family to come back to life and buy a few acres of land for a small business; Roughly enough, this person's living standard can catch up with Wu Dalang.

Three thousand taels, the big official Ximen Qing may not be able to get this amount of deposits.

But Jia Yu said that this was the price of favors, Jia Lian really didn't know the price of buying and selling official positions, and asked busily.

"Does it cost so much to buy an official?"

Jia Yu smiled disdainfully.

"So what do you think? There are so many rich people, there is no threshold; Besides, your uncle's threshold is not rich enough to come to the door, it doesn't matter who knows you! ”

"Besides, this candidate Qipinzhi County outside Beijing costs 4,600 taels of silver, which is ten times the price of the alternate official position."

Saying that, Jia Yu nodded Jia Lian's head and said.

"Hehe, if I want to make up for you in the capital, three thousand taels of silver is really not called silver. Reluctantly count your uncle as a tea money. ”

Then educate Jia Lian.

"My son, don't be disappreciative of spending money, this is a place where ordinary people can't send money if they have it; You have to thank your uncle for his kindness! That is, your uncle, can help us because of this money! ”

It seems that Jia Lian's alternate acquaintance is also helped by his uncle.

Jia Lian nodded hurriedly and asked with a smile.

"What kind of official is Daddy going to ask for for me for help!"

Seeing that his son used the word begging instead of buying, Jia Yu was very satisfied; It's not a delay for his son to run around for the house all these years, at least he understands the world.

"Don't think about the officials of the six departments, there are many local rules, and the intertwined forces are not something you can deal with, and the three law divisions don't have to think about it, they are all controlled by a few people all the year round, not relatives, not disciples, and you can't get in."

Jia Yu folded his fingers and counted for Jia Lian.

"If you're lucky, you'll be able to enter the six divisions of the six departments of the Supervision Department; It was the best place to go, with low official positions but great power; If you're unlucky, let your uncle arrange for you to go to the Taichang Temple where you are in charge of sacrifices or the Honglu Temple where you are in charge of foreign affairs! ”

Jia Yu is optimistic about Honglu Temple. The coming of all countries made the imperial court pay less attention to the people outside the country, and Honglu Temple was really a Qingshui Yamen.

"Honglu Temple is not an eye-catching place! My Qingfeng Dynasty is strong, and there is no major foreign affairs! It's for you! ”

Jia Yu's arrangement was made with heart.

First of all, Jia Lian is destined to have a future, and he can't have any hope of being promoted to an official position above the fourth grade; Because at that point, you will have to show your face in front of the emperor.

And no father wants to see the descendants of his dead son's bad friend.

Especially the powerful dad.

The Emperor Taishang is this father, and Jia Yu is his son's bad friend.

Secondly, the officials in the yamen are all about connections, ability, family, and background.

Among them, ability is the most basic, and he only lays your bottom line; If you have to pass your personal ability, it will not be easy to be grabbed and squeezed out.

And connections, family, and origin determine your upper limit.

With a wide range of connections, a powerful family, and a good background, they can give you more trial and error costs as an official.

With these, you can do things, do more things, and have merit to be gained.

Only those who have merit can be promoted.

And to do things is to face the risk of possible failure; Do more wrong, do less wrong, you do well.

When ordinary people fail, they are completely brushed down.

But such people don't need to be afraid of this. If a yamen can't do well, with these can you have the opportunity to start all over again.

But Jia Lian is not well-connected, powerful, and well-born!

Don't look at him as a young master, but how many friends do you have when you are an official? How many relatives are there who are officials in the family? Is it the official who is the shadow or the official of the imperial examination?

Neither!

Don't use Jia Yucun to say things to prove that the Jia family is related.

Jia Yucun was able to make a comeback with the help of Jia Zheng because his own family, Jia Yucun, was born in two Jinshi, and in the end, it was only through Jia Zheng that he took refuge in Wang Ziteng.

But these are not Jia Lian's relationships.

Even if Jia Fu really has some relationship, this relationship is also used to maintain Jia Zheng, a six-grade official who has been the head of the Ministry of Industry for more than ten years. That is, a section chief of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development.

So Jia Lian is nothing to a newcomer to officialdom.

Jia Yu just hopes that Jia Lian can go to a noble yamen to live slowly, and when Jia Lian boils out his grandson, his ambition is gone, and it will be over.

Seeing his stupid son fall into infinite expectations for the future, Jia Yu was secretly happy in his heart.

"Stinky boy, giving birth to grandchildren is the right way!"

But what Jia Lian pondered was that I did the job of buying and selling officials
