"It's not."

Wang Hezhi reacted suddenly, frowning and looking at Xu Chong, "I said how long have you been a pawn?" What are you doing in such a hurry to get promoted? ”

"The student feels that the cultivation speed is a little slow, and if he can go to the government office, he should be able to do it faster."

Xu Chong told the truth.

"Still too slow?"

Wang Hezhi blew his beard and glared.

"Time is not waiting for me, men should be determined to forge ahead in the world."

Xu Chong looked at each other calmly.

Wang Hezhi was stunned by this sudden seriousness, and then suddenly laughed: "Hahahaha......"

"Well, why is the Master laughing?"

Xu Chong asked puzzled.

"Laughing, of course, because I'm happy."

Wang Hezhi patted Xu Chong's shoulder vigorously, "The old man once thought that if you don't have the help of the imperial examination, what if you waste your life?" Now it seems that there is no need to worry about this at all. ”

"Laofuzi is worried."

Xu Chong thanked him, and then shook his head again: "It's a pity that the rules are like this, and the students seem to be powerless." ”

"No, no, no."

Wang Hezhi stroked his white beard and smiled incomprehensibly, "If you don't consider the grade, but just want to go to the government office, the old man still has a way." ”

"Grade is not considered...... Is there a lateral transfer? ”

Xu Chongyi raised his eyebrows, and suddenly lowered his voice: "You still have this way?" ”

“…… What words this is. ”

Wang Hezhi's old face twitched, and he said angrily: "Promotion can only be achieved by boiling, and only with good luck can there be high-risk and high-reward tasks, but if it is only a horizontal transfer, there is actually the most direct way." ”

"What's the solution?"

Xu Chong became serious.

"Contribute."

Wang Hezhi said in a deep voice.

"Contribution...... That's right! ”

Xu Chong suddenly remembered what Zhou Ze said, "Since contributions can be exchanged for money in private transactions, there is no reason why they can't be exchanged for something else." ”

"No, you're wrong."

Wang Hezhi shook his head, "If you exchange your contribution for some property in private, even if the imperial court finds out, it won't be a big deal, but once it comes to official positions, even if it's just a transfer at the same level, no one dares to think crookedly...... When I say contribution, I mean spending contributions and applying directly to the imperial court for transfer. ”

“…… Can it still be like this? ”

Xu Chong was a little sluggish.

"As I said, spiritual affairs are not secret, and the reason why they have not been widely disseminated is that the imperial court allows local officials to perform their duties."

Wang Hezhi said, and the words changed: "But there will always be exceptions to everything, like you, only a few people know through accidental events, and more are from the Gaomen clan themselves." ”

"In terms of official positions, these people also have to endure if they want to be promoted, but after all, they know the secret of the spiritual land from the beginning, if they are still like you and me, they can only honestly squat in the yamen where the spiritual energy is thin, how can they be willing?"

"So naturally, the imperial court formulated a policy of applying for transfer with contributions."

Xu Chong was a little stunned when he heard it.

Such a powerful Qingting, would he actually come up with such a flexible policy?

"Don't be too happy."

Wang Hezhi smiled, "If you want to be transferred through this method, you need to meet two conditions. ”

"I want to hear about it."

Xu Chong's expression was solemn.

"First of all, there must be a vacancy in the yamen you want to transfer to,"

Wang Hezhi pointed at Xu Chong, "A vacancy of the same grade as you." ”

"As it should be."

Xu Chong nodded.

If there is no vacancy, it can also be transferred, which means that additional personnel will be added, or the original position will be squeezed out, which is definitely not a chaos that the imperial court can allow.

"Secondly, you have to contribute so much and be willing to give it."

Wang Hezhi continued, "Let's take you as an example, the same position that is not in the stream, from the history of the county government to the government office, how much do you think it will cost?" ”

Xu Chong's face tightened, "Three points? Five? ”

Wang Hezhi shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Ten o'clock." ”

Xu Chong: "......"

Ten Contributions...... If he only relied on the imperial court to distribute it, he would have to accumulate ten years to save so much, which was a year slower than honestly waiting for the general exam.

"If you want to be transferred to the provincial government, then multiply it tenfold, one hundred points contribution."

Wang Hezhi smiled, "So, even those high-ranking families, unless there are juniors with outstanding talents who are worth cultivating, they generally won't do this." ”

"I see."

Xu Chong pondered for a moment and bowed down, "Master Xie solves his doubts." ”

……

……

Prefectural Ya Nei Hall.

Xu Chong sat on the main seat, closed his eyes and thought.

"The imperial court has set the cost so outrageously, and it really doesn't give the people at the bottom a chance."

"One thing to say, this has indeed avoided some of the chaos in officialdom."

"How many people are willing to spend so much contribution, just to change places?"

Xu Chong knocked on the table, "But...... I'm different. ”

"The promotion of others mainly depends on diligent cultivation and hard practice, and the bonus of the spiritual level to the cultivation speed is far less effective for them, and the contribution is naturally more cost-effective to keep it for the exercises."

"Unlike me, I can accelerate the generation of spiritual sources by increasing the concentration of spiritual energy."

"Not to mention a mere 10,100 points of contribution, if you can transfer to the blessed land or even the Dongtian level yamen, the 10,000 points of contribution is worth it."

"So ......"

Xu Chong opened his eyes and called Zhao Liu in.

"I went to the Di newspaper for nearly ten years, and I got all the reward orders."

If you want to make a contribution, you will naturally be the fastest to arrest the thieves of Taiping Dao.

I didn't dare to think about it before, but now it's different.

With the strength of the sixfold pulse and the Wuxiang clothes in his hands, his fault tolerance rate has increased more than tenfold.

"Step by step, just go to the government first, just ten points of contribution, not too eye-catching."

That's it.

Xu Chong threw himself into the vast paperwork.

Catching the thief can certainly get a contribution faster, but the target needs to be screened slowly.

This is not an easy task.

The reward order issued by the Criminal Department is open to the whole people, and there is not even a specific realm of strength.

For example, the bounty order of the water ghost has only a few lines of deeds.

Four years ago, he assassinated Mu Changqing, the king of Zhanghua Mansion, and this year he assassinated Wu Wenjing and intercepted and killed 100 blood-clothed guards.

Whether it is Mu Changqing, Wu Wenjing, or the hundred blood-clothed guards, none of them have marked the realm of strength, let alone the water ghosts themselves.

It's all a guesswork.

It is worth mentioning that the two portraits on the bounty order, one is the water ghost himself, that is, the facial features that Xu Chong glimpsed that night, and the other is ...... It's Zhou Ze's.

and Wei Wuxie too, one is Wei Wuxian himself, and the other is the housekeeper Lao Li......

Xu Chong felt that this should have a lot to do with him.

However, one of the two couldn't be beaten, and the other died, so they were thrown aside by Xu Chong without even thinking about it, and continued to screen the rest.

And just this step took Xu Chong half a month's time.

It wasn't until the spiritual source accumulated to 2 points that he finally screened out a few suitable targets.
