The corners of He Ran's mouth curved, she was not as dispensable as she showed to Jinyang City.

That's Jinyang, the largest city in Jindi, the base camp of the King of Jin, a fool wouldn't want it.

And Zhongyi's request was only to meet Feng Chuying.

It's not surprising to think about the bigwigs who spent sky-high prices to have lunch with a certain old man in their previous lives, and they liked to use a city just to meet Feng Chuying.

But He Ran couldn't make a decision for Feng Chuying.

So she said to Zhong Yi: "I can't make a decision for Mr. Feng, it's better to go to Pingyang with me, if Mr. Feng agrees, then you will meet in Pingyang, Lord Zhong doesn't have to worry about personal safety, now Pingyang City is heavily guarded, it is very safe." ”

She thought that Zhong Yi would hesitate, but she didn't expect Zhong Yi to agree: "Zhong is willing to go." ”

He Ran suddenly found that Zhong Yi was quite interesting to this person, and he had an appetite for her.

This time, He Ran came to Pingyao, not just to see love, she also invited the businessmen of Pingyao City in the largest restaurant in Pingyao by the way.

Zhou Chi received strong support from the merchants back then, so he was very friendly to the merchants after he ascended the throne, and the status of the merchants was greatly improved.

Merchants in the previous dynasty could not wear silk, could not take the imperial examination, and could not make slaves call maids, and these were not available in this dynasty, and the children of the merchants could take the imperial examination and be officials.

Since Zhou Lao Er succeeded to the throne, the imperial court's attitude towards Shang Jia has changed again.

Merchants can donate officials.

The imperial court clearly marked the price, and the official positions below the fifth grade could be obtained by donating money to the imperial court.

As soon as the opening of the imperial court was opened, magistrates everywhere discovered the way to make money.

The imperial court is a donor official, but it is a local official.

In Pingyao alone, there are more than 50 officials, large and small, and it is these 50 officials that He Ran feasted in the restaurant.

That's right, they are all bought officials, they have ranks, but they don't have real jobs, they are still in business, they just wear the title of an official.

He Ran looked at the list of banquets and shook his head helplessly.

Sure enough, at the banquet, the question that these people were most concerned about was whether they could keep their official positions.

The officials who bought them are also officials, so they can't be counted.

Everyone was gossiping, and their voices were getting louder and louder, and the momentum seemed to be about to eat He Ran.

There's no way, who let He Ran be a little girl in their eyes.

Unlike other places, Pingyao did not experience the baptism of war, and as soon as He Dali's army arrived outside Pingyang City, the Pingyang prefect opened the city gate and dedicated the city.

Therefore, these officials in Pingyao City think that the reason why Pingyao has changed hands is because the prefect is a soft-footed crab and is useless.

Pingyao is to blame the prefect for changing hands, and He Ran is just picking up leaks.

They didn't take He Ran and her army seriously at all.

He Ran smiled on his lips, listened to their questions good-naturedly, and didn't say a word.

These people are like fists on cotton, very boring, but snickering, look, she is afraid, she is forced speechless by us, we have the upper hand!

He Ran took a sip of tea and asked with a pleasant face, "Do you have anything else to say?" ”

One of them slapped on the table with a snap and said loudly: "King Zhao is also a descendant of the Zhou family, and at this moment this is still the world of the Great Zhou, we are the officials of the Zhou court, and everything should be the same as before." ”

He Ran was taken aback: "Aren't you in vain?" Is there still a job to lose? ”

The man snorted coldly: "Can't there be?" ”

He Ran was surprised: "Pingyao City is a smooth transition, of course, it can remain unchanged, since you are all officials of the Great Zhou, then you must also be treated according to the officials of the Great Zhou, by the way, did you all have a good fortune before, I thought there was not, since there is, then let's talk about it, how did you decide on the previous Yu Lu." ”

Everyone looked at each other, and then looked at the person who spoke, there is a fart Yulu, the king of Jin will burn high incense without asking them for money, and give them Yulu, that is, He Ran, a little girl, will believe it.

None of them spoke, but they began to speak, so they waited for the man to speak first.

That person's name is Zhou Fu, he started by selling soybeans to Anxia Country in his early years, and later bought a seven-grade official, but he, like everyone here, has only one vacant position.

Seeing that everyone was looking at Zhou Fu, He Ran also looked at him, and asked with a smile: "Lord Zhou's surname is Zhou, is it related to Pingyang Zhoujiabao?" ”

Hearing He Ran mention Zhoujiabao, Zhou Fu looked proud: "Zhou's ancestral home is Zhoujiabao in Pingyang. ”

He Ran nodded: "It turns out that he is still from a famous family, so which family is Lord Zhou who is an official, and how much is the monthly salary?" ”

Zhou Fu originally thought that if he picked the lead and said this, others would definitely follow suit, he was rich, and he really didn't care about that little bit of money, he just looked down on He Ran and wanted to embarrass him.

But he didn't expect that just now everyone worked together to force He Ran to the point that he couldn't say a word, and he had already gained the upper hand, but now when he spoke, no one echoed him, he seemed to be singing a one-man show.

Zhou Fu scolded his mother in his heart, but he could only report a number.

He Ran looked at Xiao Li beside him: "Calculate it, how many taels Lord Zhou has received in total." ”

Xiao Li quickly calculated how much silver, how much silk, how much rice, and so on.

He Ran gasped: "So many." ”

Her eyes suddenly lit up, and she looked at Zhou Fu with burning eyes, as if she was looking at a pile of gold and silver.

"Lord Zhou has not been an official for a long time, but he has a lot of silver that is greedy for ink."

The sentence "greedy for ink" is like a big stone falling from the sky, smashing everyone to pieces.

"Greedy for ink? What greedy for ink? What nonsense are you talking about? Zhou Fu was furious, he wanted money and money, and he wanted a shop and a shop, could he use greedy ink? Besides, he's just a fictitious position, and he doesn't have a chance to be greedy for ink.

He Ran didn't think so, she shook her head: "Lord Zhou, why don't you admit it?" The amount of ink you have been greedy for each month has been reported by you yourself, and everyone here has heard it. Master Zhou, since you did it, why don't you dare to admit it? ”

Everyone was taken aback, and Zhou Fu glared at He Ran viciously, as if he wanted to eat people.

"That's the official's money!"

He Ran sneered: "You only have one title, where did you come from, isn't this silver greedy money or what?" Come on, take down this greedy corrupt official! ”

He Ran was just a young girl just now, but now she suddenly seemed to be a different person, turning her face faster than turning a book, and the cold air that filled her body made everyone daunting.

"You, you, you dare!"

Zhou Fu was angry, he was not afraid of He Ran, he just felt that he had no face, it was too embarrassing, this dead girl made him embarrassed in front of so many people, like a clown. (End of chapter)
