Chapter 36

This visit to Liu Yan’s mansion can be said to be a great success and the results are outstanding.

Liu Yan's attitude towards Li Su is like a scumbag meeting a beautiful woman.

The scumbag obviously just greedy for the other party's body (I want to treat the other party as a gun, a model and a typical case tree, and promote the abolition of history and the establishment of the past), but I am embarrassed to say it clearly, afraid that it will be suspicious from the outside world. So I have to make up some excuses, saying that I appreciate the other party's "talent" and "virtue".

In this case, even if the other party relies on beauty, he only has one point of talent and virtuousness. When a scumbag brags to the outside world, he must brag about nine points of talent and virtuousness.

What's more, when the scumbag was taking the school exam, she was surprised to find that this beauty was really nine points talented and virtuous, so she was even more sleepy and gave her a pillow. Of course, she had to swear to cover up her lust (unintention).

Just the next day, Liu Yan privately talked with Liu Yu, the chief minister of Li Su's talent and loyalty, and secretly urged Liu Yu to take over Li Su as a grassroots staff official, saying that it would be beneficial to Liu Yu's return to Youzhou to quell the rebellion in the future.

As for what Liu Yan and Liu Yu said in private and how to persuade him specifically, Li Su, an outsider, cannot open his eyes and see through the sky, so I don’t know. Anyway, the result should be very good.

It is estimated that Liu Yan just recounted all the wonderful questions he heard when he was taking the exam for Li Su and what he heard from Cao Cao that day, Li Su recounted all the questions he asked General He Jin, and added fuel to the fire and exaggerated Li Su's talents.

Now, although the matter of "destroying history and establishing pastoralism" has not been put on the agenda, Liu Yu has already vaguely foreshadowed that he has a considerable probability that he will be sent back to Youzhou by the emperor for a period of time. Even if he does not establish a position of state governor, he will return as the position of governor of Youzhou.

Who made Liu Yu so famous in the Youzhou area that there was no other person in the entire Han Dynasty? As long as the situation in Youzhou was so decayed that it would be uncontrollable, Liu Yu would have to be transferred back sooner or later.

At this time, Liu Yan praised Li Su's talent so much and said it was useful for suppressing rebellion. He also emphasized that Li Su had a close relationship with Liu Bei, who did not take the imperial military pay to fight against the thieves in Zhuo County. After all considerations, Liu Yu agreed to the act of expropriation.

...

Two days after visiting Liu Yan, Li Su received this recruitment, which was issued in the name of the main residence of the zodiac, and was so efficient that it was so elegant.

Even though Li Su was mentally prepared, she didn't expect it to be so fast.

It was morning hours, and Li Su was having breakfast with Ju Su and Guan Yu in the inn.

It was originally estimated that in one or two days, the court's conclusion on rewards and punishments for the previous series of merits and demerits would be concluded, and they would have to return to Yecheng.

Liu Yu's conquest was very good at the timing, and he intercepted Li Su so that he did not have to go back to Yecheng to do things for Jia Cong, the eunuch party.

The envoy sent by Liu Yu announced the content in front of a group of people: "I have heard for a long time that the letter from the Master of the Jizhou Gongcao was accompanied by Li Su... The characteristics were named Princess Zongzheng's family secretary, with a rank of 300 stones, and was assisted by the school's relatives' book."

This kind of documentary requisition was not the imperial decree. It was the first time Li Su encountered it, so he was a little confused after hearing it. At first, he didn't dare to answer it directly, but looked at Ju Su next to him.

Because when Jia Cong rewarded him and recruited him before, he started from scratch and there was no problem of handover. Now that Liu Yu recruited him again, he had to clear the relationship with Jia Cong first.

Fortunately, the messenger sent by Liu Yu was also quite knowledgeable and said to Ju Su in person: "Ju Bie Jia, Zong Zheng's recruitment has been registered with Cui Situ. I hope you will do the delivery of Jia governor Jia for your behalf."

Ju Suyi bowed: "Some trivial matters should be handled properly when they return to Yecheng."

With Ju Su's assistance, Li Su finally accepted his second recruitment without making a joke.

Afterwards, he asked Ju Shu about the etiquette and service procedures here.

Ju Su was a good teacher, so he answered patiently.

It turned out that the reason why Liu Yu only recruited him a small official of 300 stones was because once he reached 400 stones and more than 400 stones, the management of the people in the court was much stricter, and it was not possible to pass the employer just by preparing a case with Situ.

On the other hand, there are some unspoken rules that are not on the market: During the reign of Emperor Ling of Han, the starting price of selling officials in Xiyuan was to manage the positions of more than 400 stones, which were sold for three million yuan compared to 400 stones, and four hundred stones were sold for four million yuan.

The emperor could not sell the sesame officials further down, so he basically stopped selling them.

At the same time, since the old palace was in a fire a few years ago and Emperor Ling of Han began to build Bi Guiyuan, officials who were appointed and removed had to pay to take office, but it was much cheaper than the officials who bought the full price. Generally, luck would be 50% off, and those with a higher price would be 70% off, which is not necessarily the case.

For example, if you buy the prefect of the worst county, it will cost more than 20 million yuan. But if you are a talented person, and the court will urgently need you to serve as the prefect, then you may get it if you give it 10 million yuan. The most typical one is Sun Jian’s prefect of Changsha. It was originally sold at least twice as expensive, but Sun Jian had a general, and the Quxing rebellion broke out. The court needed Sun Jian to quell the rebellion, so the 50% discount was given to the prefect of Sun Jian.

However, this system of "regularly appointed officials must also be given money to take office" is also as low as 400 stones. No matter how small the official is, Emperor Ling of Han has no energy to sell, which is too trivial.

Therefore, Liu Yu found the cheapest and worst official position in Zongzheng Mansion, the Princess's Family Secretary, and was recruited for Li Su. Because the officials in Zongzheng Mansion are relatively noble, except for this position, they are not as small as 300 stones. The others are at least 600 stones and the chief clerk, which is difficult to operate.

Moreover, the officials under the Zongzheng Mansion were divided into two factions, one was in charge of the Han family and the other was in charge of the relatives of the foreign relatives.

According to the court system, officials in charge of clan books must also be members of the Han Dynasty clan surnamed Liu. Only officials in charge of relatives can be held by foreign surnames.

Li Su was born in a humble family and had a foreign surname, so he was given the "Princess Family Secretary", which was to take charge of the list of descendants of the princess and the princesses, and the order of relatives and relatives of blood.

Of course, these division of powers are only theoretical and a matter of treatment. In actual work, if Li Su is willing to take the initiative to help, there are probably many opportunities to work overtime for free.

The person with the surname Liu has a rank and is a temporary worker with a different surname. Isn’t it beautiful to actually work?

...

After the messenger left, Ju Su left quickly.

Only Li Su and Guan Yu were left in the room, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Now I finally found a legal identity in the capital for the time being, and I can continue to stay without having to go back to Yecheng with Ju Su."

Guan Yu was a little worried: "Congratulations to my brother, from 300 stones to 300 stones, and then quietly promoted to half a level. However, you have become a Beijing official from now on. If you want to help your elder brother, you may be very difficult."

Li Su was stunned and then realized what Guan Yu was worried about.

Is he afraid that he can no longer help Liu Bei with advice?

Li Su smiled slightly and said frankly: "Who saved me from the claws of the Inspector? Am I an ungrateful person? Don't be impatient? From my perspective, if the situation in Youzhou continues to be corrupt, Liu Yu will be transferred to Youzhou sooner or later. At that time, as a member of Liu Yu, I will be transferred to Youzhou to the place where he is in charge. I am still afraid that I will not be able to watch over and help my elder brother and become a stalwart.

The reason why Liu Yu recruited me was probably because he was interested in my hard-working talent. Seeing that I was making contributions and making sense when dealing with Zhang Chun at the beginning, I could use it in the future. Otherwise, do you really think that he recruited me to pay the account to the princess and princesses’ families to count how many children they had? I dare say that this position would definitely be transferred to the local area if he was less than half a year."
