114 Money clears the way
The matter of the Erniu family was settled, but not resolved either.
Poverty will remain poor, and hunger will be with us for a long time.
On the other side, Fourth Master Yuan saw that the county magistrate Bai Rongsheng had promised him a good life, but there was always no news.
After thinking about it for a while, I realized that Bai Rongsheng was just a wolf and would not do anything without the money.
But Fourth Master Yuan’s money is not so easy to spend.
But he also asked people to carry two large boxes, which were all heavy with silver.
It was carried to the county government office.
Bai Rongsheng was having wine with his concubine in the back hall. The concubine was quite pretty and was feeding Bai Rongsheng lychees.
"Sir, Yuan Juren from the Yuan Mansion has sent two big boxes."
Bai Rongsheng's eyes flashed: "Bring it in."
The two boxes were brought in, each weighing less than a hundred pounds.
The concubine saw the heavy steps of the man carrying the box, so she stepped forward, unlocked it, and looked at the neatly stacked silver.
My eyes are straight.
"How much money is there?"
"A total of two thousand taels." The man who sent the money said with a smile: "Our master feels that the county government office where Mr. Qingtian lives is really leaky, so we want to repair it."
"Alas! This is Qingshui Yamen. Is it right to be dilapidated? However, I will not accept your Master Yuan's wishes. Alas, it won't be an example next time, and it won't be an example next time!"
Seeing Bai Rongsheng accept the money, the person who sent the money felt relieved and did not need to give any more explicit instructions. He only said: "We, Mr. Yuan, are kind-hearted. Seeing that the number of hungry people has increased recently, we want to set up a porridge shed to provide porridge...
"
"This is a good thing, but those hungry people are not allowed to come into the city. It is better to give porridge outside the city. Otherwise, if there is a civil uprising, it will be difficult for me to do business."
"Okay, I will go back and report to the master now. Master Qingtian is really a parent with a bodhisattva heart..."
After a while of slapping the horse, Bai Rongsheng didn't even raise his eyelids, so he knew that he was chasing away guests.
So he left very wisely.
When the man left, Bai Rongsheng stood up immediately, walked to the money, and smiled: "Next door to Mala, this man named Yuan is so rich. I have worked hard to earn this little money to support myself. I can buy a county magistrate and put it in."
It’s all worth it.”
Nowadays, it is very normal for Qian Yong to buy an official position in his later period.
It takes four thousand taels of silver for a civil servant to buy the official position of magistrate.
Then buy a fourth-grade prefect, which costs about thirteen thousand taels of silver.
The Taoist priest has sixteen thousand taels of silver.
But it doesn't mean that thirteen thousand taels of silver will guarantee you the prefecture.
Instead, you need to buy a county magistrate first, and then buy several more county magistrates.
So do "resume."
Then buy a sixth-grade official body, a fifth-grade official status, and finally a fourth-grade prefect.
This would cost at least two to thirty thousand taels of silver.
But it's still worth it. After all, knowing the state capital for three years costs one hundred thousand snowflakes.
The more money, the better. In the end, it was impossible to get through the relationship and go straight to the court.
Otherwise, how could you and your lord become extremely rich?
Moreover, there is a phenomenon of competition among others when buying an official position. However, ordinary people have no means and can only buy some "casual officials". The most intuitive thing is why all the zombies in the movie are wearing official uniforms.
That is, if you donate your official position during your lifetime, you can be buried according to the scholar-bureaucrat etiquette and can wear official uniforms.
Generally, if you donate a few hundred taels, you can wear the official uniform of the seventh rank after your death.
If you donate a lot, it will be no problem for the officials to give you a nice posthumous title. People specialize in this, and they can also compile epitaphs and biographies for Qi Huo.
The income from selling official positions alone can bring in several million taels of fiscal revenue a year.
Bai Rongsheng laughed in his heart: When he was a demon, he would be caught by monks and Taoists for eating people. Now that he is an official, he doesn't have to do anything himself. He even gets tired of eating. As expected, being an official is more comfortable than being a demon.
The concubine next to me saw so much money: "Sir..."
"Hahaha, don't worry, don't worry, I am always generous to my women, and you are indispensable..."
The concubine was delighted: "Even if you have barbs on your thing, I will admit it. This is a great advantage."
"I will serve you well tonight..."
Bai Rongsheng smiled wildly, and then called for inspection and arrest: "It has been several days since the murderer burned the eucalyptus in the Yuan Mansion. How is the progress of your investigation?"
?
Didn’t you fucking say that you should ignore the person named Yuan without your consent?
Aren't you bullying honest people?
But how could I say this? I could only say: "It's already under investigation."
"You need snacks when doing things. Do you still need me to teach you about such a thing? If you are procrastinating, the murderer will be far away. What will the people think of us then? We are like a drunkard with nothing to lose."
"Get this matter done as soon as possible, and don't ask me to ask again."
"yes!"
Du Wumo had no choice but to agree.
Seeing this, Bai Rongsheng spoke very emotionally, and then took out some money: "Forget it, it's not easy for you, you use subsidies to support your family."
Then he thought about it and said to the inspector: "Xiao Du, the last time you approved the pension for two soap slaves, forty taels of silver were allocated. Please see how this money is divided."
Du Wumo said: "Of these two people, one is the mother at home, and the other is the wife who made a fortune a few days ago. As a result, the husband's brother and uncle divided the family and left the family completely destitute."
"This business was inherited by the father after his son died. Now that both of them have no sons, we have to recruit more people."
"Then let's figure it out." Bai Rongsheng didn't care about this.
If you eat meat yourself, your subordinates must also drink soup.
Du Wumo thought to himself: You must have gone through a lot of trouble. Where can I only have forty taels of silver?
But looking back, the family that has been wiped out does not need to give the money. It is impossible to get any money. Those uncles and uncles who want their own children to take over this position have to give money to themselves.
As for the old woman who only has one mother, just give her a few taels of silver to spend. What can an old guy do with himself if he has no money and no power?
It's just the fire in the Yuan Mansion..., the inspection officer inexplicably thought of Lin Zhuming again. When the Yuan Mansion was still called the Ren Mansion, the whole family was wiped out, and his two men were killed by magic...
Ever since this Taoist came to this place, all kinds of disasters have happened continuously, so he must be a demon.
Although he was a little afraid of Lin Zhuming, Du Wumo still felt that he had to confront Lin Zhuming. The monk Yuanqing from Qingliang Temple was not very reliable last time, but he probably will come again.
This time I have to bite the bullet, otherwise I'm afraid I'll end badly if I really offend that Bai Rongsheng.
The catcher on the side said to Du Wumo: "I'm afraid I'm going to get into trouble."
"There are pure days every month, but only a few days when you are busy. If you only think about resting and don't do anything, how can there be such a beautiful thing in the world?"
There are levels of inspection, but there is no arrest. Du Wumo said in an official tone: "Do it well."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
The catcher spat silently at his back.
