Chapter 42: Inability to apprentice

Jian Yong, Zi Xianhe

Age: 21/37

Constitution: 53/92

Karma: 270

Qualification: Strategist

Jian Yong was born in the common people, if you really want to talk about it, his background is not even as good as Liu Bei, Liu Bei also has a Lu Zhi as a teacher to brag about, and Jian Yong belongs to the self-taught type.

Perhaps it is precisely because of the lack of guidance and training that Jian Yong is not outstanding in strategic governance, and throughout his history, he is good at communicating things.

Jian Yong's attributes are not outstanding, although from the perspective of karma, he should also belong to the innate divine kind. But in terms of physique, it is also very limited to be stronger than ordinary people. And he has no disobedient attributes, in Liu Cang's view, this may also mean that he has no waves in his life.

Jian Yong is a young man with ambitions, and for ordinary people, crossing classes may be regarded as the biggest ambition.

Don't think about how difficult it is to cross classes in the minds of the people in the Han Dynasty, and don't think that everyone dreams of being a great minister.

If there is no chaos today, and the war cannot be afforded, the Han Dynasty has survived for hundreds of years, and some people may never leave a county in their lifetime.

For the common people, mixing positions such as post superintendent, book peng, and Cao Peng, and being able to be talked about in the county is already considered to be a cross-class.

After that, whether it was to take the road of fame by talent and learning (similar to the situation of Confucians like Cai Yong), or to take the way of building a family and climbing a wealthy family.

None of these can be achieved in a short period of time, and the accumulation of one or two generations is basically inevitable.

The social system of the Han Dynasty was very complete, and in the years of peace, it was extremely difficult to be a 'nouveau riche'.

Liu Hong's kind of emperor who slipped up from the people is a special situation, and even if it is a relative like He Jin, it seems that he has gained power once, but his ancestors have been in business for many generations.

The social system is complete and rigorous, but the Eastern Han Dynasty also left channels for people at all levels to climb, these channels are time-consuming and grinding, but as long as they study diligently and work hard, even those from poor families have the opportunity to jump.

But with the beginning of Liu Hong's rise to power, everything was over.

Emperors usually sell high-ranking titles, and this thing itself has no effect on the bottom.

But who made Liu Hong's business acumen outstanding, people are wide and offline, with the assistance of eunuchs, and they can be passed and reported at all levels, waiting for approval.

The family was very resistant to this, but the emperor didn't care about the noise below. There are many important ministers in the family who are guided by the situation, and the big families and wealthy families are even more moved, not to mention the low-level common people, even the poor families have jumped to their feet.

Selling the official beard sounds vain, maybe you don't have a clear concept.

How to say it, Liu Hong is also a real person, and he set a relatively clear and reasonable price for his official position.

The price of an official position is 50 times the annual salary of this official position, and the local official position is double that of the official position in the DPRK and China, that is, 100 times.

That is to say, a county lieutenant in a large county with more than 10,000 households has an 'annual salary' of about 400 stones, and one stone of corn is barely counted as 200 yuan, which is almost equivalent to 80,000 yuan.

In other words, a large county lieutenant can be bought for eight million dollars.

How much is eight million dollars? Nowadays, the price of an adult pig is less than 2,000 yuan, which is roughly equivalent to 4,000 pigs based on two thousand. In the future, that is to say, a director of that bureau will be at such a price.

Well, Liu Cang is used to using pigs as an analogy, four or five pigs for a cow, forty or fifty pigs for a war horse, hundreds of pigs for a good horse, famous horses are not very easy to price, don't think about it, let's count it yourself.

And the official positions in the imperial court, which are also worth 400 stone a year, such as the Three Dukes' Mansion, the General's Mansion, the Taichang Mansion and other places, the price is half cheaper than the local official position.

Two thousand pigs can rub to the side of the three princes and the general, and it can also be understood that two thousand pigs can be the secretary of the prime minister.

In this way, the price is not high, it is not low, and the market is very accurate, but the result is that the poor and the common people are called dogs.

This Nima, you need money to take office, and you need money to get promoted, do you want to be a trickle?

The most infuriating thing is that if someone competes for a post, you still do auctions!

No, the children of the poor family are not out of office, and those from the common people either lie flat or pick their sons.

The wealthy families of the big families are trying their best to stuff their children into various positions, and the people of the family are playing with their lives to condemn those who buy official positions, and buying official positions may ruin their reputation.

As a result, Jian Yong's is directly tragic.

"Hehe, I heard Xuan Deyan that you want to enclose the mountains to feed livestock, but what do you want to raise? It's really not good, it's good to go to Haoxuan for my brother and be a swineherd? Seeing that the atmosphere was a little heavy because of his self-deprecation, Jian Yong said to Liu Cang.

"You can't, be honest with your pot." Liu Cang shook his head.

"Back to the pot? Haha, interesting. Why can't Jane, Haoxuan is a brother? Jian Yong thought for a moment, then understood Liu Cang's description in a blink of an eye, and smiled and questioned.

"You're a talker, and so-and-so is working." Liu Cang took a sip of wine and said to Jian Yong.

"Haoxuan, Hugh is rude." Seeing that Jian Yong was stunned by Liu Cang's words, Liu Bei scolded in a low voice.

"What's rude?" Rolling a look at Liu Bei, Liu Cang looked at Jian Yong.

"I mean, my brother's strength is not labor, just like Ah Weng said I can't learn the I Ching." Liu Cang explained, Jian Yong chuckled.

Jian Yong is good at arguing and communicating, and in Liu Cang's memory, Jian Yong's life is basically doing things like lobbying and persuasion, and the conversation between the two is basically a joke, so only Liu Bei is more serious.

"Speaking of which, Haoxuan is a good blessing, I heard that Cai's family is stationed in Zhuojun as soon as possible, but I didn't expect it to be Haoxuan's family." Speaking of Cai Yong, envy flashed on Jian Yong's face.

"Brother has a heart?" Liu Cang whispered, although what he said was not clear, everyone sitting knew that Liu Cang was referring to whether Jian Yong had the heart to contact Cai Yong, or worship him as a teacher.

"Don't dare, I've been in a daze for many years, I'm really afraid of insulting the name of Master Cai." Jian Yong shook his head, Liu Bei and Zhang Fei didn't say much.

Jian Yong is too old, and his family does not have any background, and at this age, the secular cognition is to wait for the teacher and pave the way with the same door, which is more complicated, and it is also the reason why several people don't talk about Cai Yong deeply.

"Ah Weng's situation is indeed special, my brother lives with peace of mind, if there is an opportunity in the future, I will mention it to Ah Weng." Liu Cang picked up the wine bowl and said to Jian Yong.

"Then it's up to Lao Haoxuan." Jian Yong was serious, but at this time he stopped smiling, took the bowl and gestured to Liu Cang, and said solemnly.

Regarding Jian Yong's apprenticeship with Cai Yong, Liu Cang will not take care of it. It's not a simple matter of name.

After all, neither Jian Yong nor Liu Cang has any resources at all, and apprenticing with Cai Yong involves the need for Cai Yong to allocate their own resources for them.

Master, Master, in these years, students respect their teachers, and it is also necessary for teachers to work hard for their students.

Now that Cai Yong's crime has not been eliminated, even if he is innocent, I am afraid that he must first consider arranging Liu Cang's 'half son', and then it will be his turn to talk about other things.

There is no need to say much about this situation, and there is no one here who pretends to be confused.

And in the face of opportunities that may become opportunities for himself, even if it is difficult to fight for it now, Jian Yong will not laugh and ignore it. Instead, he solemnly expressed his expectations to Liu Cang.

Apprenticeship is a big deal in these years, and it must be treated with caution, and changing the court is notorious in this era. Of course, this is not the case.

Just like Liu Bei's apprenticeship with Lu Zhi, even if he is not treated by Lu Zhi, if he is not recognized by Lu Zhi as a teacher, it is impossible for him to worship others as teachers.

The two sides stopped at the point, no longer talked, chatted about trivial matters for a while, and the topic came to the body of the Xiongnu that Liu Cang wanted to touch.
