On May 25, the fourth year of Zhongping, after a lapse of 18 days, Ou Xing once again took Ou Kang and Ou Le, the two generals, to stand outside the gate of Kou's Dock.

Compared with the previous time, this trip to Kou's Dock, the second general Hum Ha brought more souvenirs.

The pheasants changed from one pair to two.

Scholars who take pheasants as their dear, take them and do not tempt them to eat, deter them with power, they must die and not give birth to animals, and they should act with authority, keep festivals and die righteously, and transfer them improperly.

The pheasant is a difficult animal to tame. No matter how much people try to lure or intimidate, pheasants would rather starve to death than eat food that people feed them.

The pheasant would rather die than give in, just like the character of a noble man. Ou Xing took the pheasant as a gift, symbolizing his admiration for Luo Hou and the county order Gao Feng Liang Festival.

Zhi, pheasant in winter, and pheasant in summer. According to the ceremony, Ou Xing sent dried pheasants this time.

There are also new items that I didn't bring with me last time.

"The name of this flower dew is Yunmeng Ballad," Ou Xing introduced to the two elders, "It is a star from Yunmeng Daze, picking 10,000 hibiscus and making it with his own hands, extracting the essence of hibiscus, fragrant and fragrant." ”

"Hibiscus, out of the mud but not stained, clear ripples but not demons, straight through the outside, not vines and branches, the gentleman of flowers. I would like to use this hibiscus flower dew to dedicate respect to the elders and show the admiration of the stars. ”

"Good."

Luo Hou Kode pulled the cork from the celadon flask and gently fanned it with his hand, and the fragrance of lotus flowers gently filled the whole hall.

"Well~ It's really quiet and distant, refreshing, which just reflects Dong Gong's gentlemanly style." Kod smiled and looked at Dong Yi and Ou Xing, and bowed lightly to the two, "Gongchen, you have a heart." ”

Dong Yi hurriedly leaned over and bowed to Kou Deji.

At the right time, after Dong Yi uncorked the bottle, he took the flower dew bottle under his nose and sniffed it violently, and the rich lotus fragrance went straight to the Tianling lid, and instantly put on a mask of pain for him. In order to avoid being rude, Dong Yi directly bowed over to cover up.

"Don't dare. Just fighting and eating small officials, the prince and the marquis face to face, and dare to call the public. The prince called me Dong Yi is. ”

The lord of Marquis Luo is a county marquis, the highest rank in the Han Empire, and it is indispensable to receive a gift from the county order.

So, Kou De was sitting on the table, smiling and accepting Dong Yi's salute. After Dong Yi got up slowly, Kou De returned the salute and said:

"The chief of a thousand stones, the parents of a county, how humble the Ming court is. In this case, please let me hold on to it and call Ming Ting Ji Ying. ”

After greeting Kod, Dong Yi turned around again and thanked Ou Xingdu.

"Gongchen Xiaoyou, thank you for the gift."

The bluffing Ou Xing got up from the seat like an electric shock, and lay on the ground beside him, saying that he didn't dare.

This game of the Kode group was quite unexpected by Dong Yi.

His second brother Dong Zhuo and Dong Zhongying, who attacked Qiang thieves outside and the Yellow Turban inside, made outstanding achievements, and only had to be named a countryman. And Kord, but the county marquis!

How could a county marquis with an extremely noble status get mixed up with a barbarian? Moreover, there seems to be a friendship between teachers and students.

The water # is very deep, Dong Yi hasn't seen through it yet. He only knew that his money-making plan might need to be adjusted.

Dong Yi is in urgent need of money now - the position of county magistrate of Luo County, which he just arrived, cost him a full 16.66 million yuan.

There are more than 10,000 households in Luo County. According to the Han system, more than 10,000 households are orders, and less than 10,000 households are long. Luo County is a large county, and the chief executive is the county order, and the annual salary is thousands of stones.

According to the rules formulated by the first emperor through the ages, the official position is clearly marked with a price and sold at 100 times the annual salary. The position of the county magistrate of Luo County is worth 20 million yuan.

Dong Yi paid a bribe of 10 million yuan to Zhang Rang, the eunuch in charge of the assessment work, and set a comment for himself as "virtuous".

Therefore, according to the policy of favoring officials formulated by His Majesty the Emperor, "half or one-third of those who should be selected by virtue are secondary", Dong Yi only lost 6.66 million yuan to Xidi, and he got the post of Luo County County Commander with a rank of Qianshi.

After getting the post of county magistrate of Luo County, Dong Yi immediately took office. But he didn't come to serve the people.

In order to become a county magistrate, 16.66 million dollars were spent. After becoming the county order, don't make 3 or 5 16.66 million money, is this like a word?

What's more, Dong Yi is also positive and pursues progress. His eyes had long been fixed on the vacant post of Changsha Taishou in Linxiang City next door.

Because of the state and county ministers, and the favor of Zhou, when the first emperor Huan Emperor was in power, he formulated a system called "Three Mutual Laws" to avoid the origin of officials.

The summary is roughly as follows: if a person from State A is an official in State B, and a person from State B is an official in State C, then the person from State C needs to recuse himself from State A, State B, and State C.

Due to the staggered avoidance stipulated in the "Three Mutual Law", the taboo is too strict, resulting in a situation in which it is difficult for officials to select and cannot be filled for a long time.

Changsha County has been vacant for half a year.

If it weren't for the rank ratio of 600 stones, he could not be directly promoted to the county prince with a rank of 2000 stones, and Dong Yibao borrowed money directly at that time.

The position of county magistrate of Luo County, in Dong Yi's heart, is just a springboard for the promotion of Changsha County Taishou.

Changsha County has jurisdiction over 13 counties, including Linxiang, Luo, Hanchang, Xiajun, Yiyang, Liling, You, Chaling, Rongling, Yu, Liandao, Zhaoling, Ancheng and the Houguo of Southern Xiang, which is obviously a much larger stage than Luo County.

(Liuyang County, until the fourteenth year of Jian'an (209 AD), was separated from Linxiang County.) ）

The larger the stage, the more room for manoeuvre.

Moreover, the price of the post of Changsha County Taishou is only twice that of the Luo County Order. Obviously, Changsha County is too guarded, more cost-effective, and is a more suitable position for making money.

Dong Yi now, he just wants to make money in Luo County quickly, and then lose money to Zhang Changshou and His Majesty quickly, so that he can be promoted quickly, and go to Linxiang City next door to be the Taishou of Changsha.

Left and right, the servants began to eat, but Dong Yi had no appetite.

He originally thought that the Ou family was a tender and delicious suckling pig. Now it seems that it is a boar with fangs.

It's hard to eat.
