"OK!"

Ma Renwang narrowed his eyes and thought for a while, and finally nodded.

He thought about it and said, "The Huayan Temple is built in Xiangshan, so let's arrange a Yuhe County Magistrate for you..."

Xiangshan is under the jurisdiction of Yuhe County, and the Huayan Temple in Yanjing, which is under construction (basically built), is not a family temple of the Ma family, but a royal temple. The Ma people hope to ask for an order to supervise the construction. According to the Liao Dynasty, the construction of a royal temple can be used to use the households of the independent palaces and prefectures.

The so-called civil servants of the palace prefectures and counties are the civil servants of the Han prefectures and counties affiliated to each palace tent. They are not divided into palaces, but are also managed by local prefectures and counties. However, the taxes are all handed over to the palace tent, and they also have to bear the corvee labor assigned by the palace tent. The construction of royal temples is naturally the civil servants of the palace tent, which is the responsibility of the civil servants of the palace tent.

When Ma Zhi heard that Yuhe County Magistrate could do it, he was overjoyed. Seeing that his uncle wanted to speak but stopped, he immediately smiled and said, "How much copper is needed? Uncle might as well say a number."

This...of course it's the money to buy an official!

Unlike the Song Dynasty, most of the county officials in the Liao Kingdom bought it for money! Oh, this is not a corruption, but an open and upright system.

The five capitals of the Great Liao Kingdom have the right to appoint county magistrates and to record officials below. Since all this power has been given to the five capitals of the Great Liao Kingdom, of course they have to sell their officials.

Of course, not anyone can appoint anyone. You must reach a certain level before you can become a county magistrate.

Ma Zhi's official is a military envoy, and he is qualified to be a county magistrate.

"One million," Ma Renwang smiled, "This is for the Korean capital left in Nanjing and Xiao Baoxian left in Tongzhi left behind. However, Yutian is a big county, and the profits in the county are profitable, but it still makes a profit back."

Of course, one million is not one million pieces, but one million pieces, which is only one thousand pieces here in the Liao Kingdom.

Compared with the Song Dynasty, the Liao Dynasty was a poor man. A mere thousand bribes were actually a lot of money for the Ma family, one of the four Yan families!

Of course, the "poverty" of the Ma family is just because they have no money... People in later generations may find it difficult to understand. Isn't it because they have no money? In fact, it is not. The amount of money is related to the development of the commodity economy. The current economic structure of the Daliao is still the manor economy, which is self-sufficiency, and does not need much money and cannot make much money.

For example, Ma Zhi is in Yanjing. The food, use, living, and sleeping are basically provided by the manor far away from Zhongjing Road (Yiwulu Mountain is in Zhongjing Road), and it doesn’t cost much money at all. Although his manor covers a large area and has many customers (tenants), there are not many profits that can be paid in the whole year.

In addition, the salaries of officials in the Liao Kingdom were not mainly money, and only officials who served in the court (central) actually received their salaries. Prefectures, county officials, palace tent officials, and tribal officials did not have proper salaries, but were granted to manors of various natures. Prefectures and county officials had profit houses, palace tent officials and tribal officials had palace households, head lower households, and many Khitan wealthy families (including several prominent branches of the Han family in Yutian) also had their own hereditary head lower Junzhou.

Therefore, the Liao Kingdom is a family, a large family, a manor economy and a tribal economy, and they are all very "poor". Most of the money is about "shu" in the Song Dynasty, while the Liao Kingdom mainly talks about "literature".

The 1,000 taels of gold Wu Haogu gave Ma Zhi was 15 million in the Liao Dynasty, which was so much money! If Ma Zhi's official was a little older, he could really buy a military governor of the state army!

"By the way, you have been good since you were a child with Brother Zhao Zhong?"

After Ma Renwang talked to his nephew about buying an official, he changed the subject and mentioned Brother Zhao Zhong again.

"Yes, Brother Zhong and I are both students of Mr. Xiangshan," Ma Zhi frowned. "What's wrong with Brother Zhong?"

"He went to Yanshan to be a thief." Ma Renwang said with a bitter face, "I am now a Nanjing police patrolman, look..."

"Be a thief?" Ma Zhi was stunned, "Has the husband of the Zhao family in Zhenzhou become a thief?"

Among the Han people in the Liao Dynasty, the four Yan families were Han, Zhao, Liu and Ma. Although they were all called, the status of these four families was actually very different. Among the four families, the Han family in Yutian and Zhao family in Zhenzhou were the most respected.

The Han family of Yutian was Han Derang's clan. As early as Han Derang's grandfather Han Zhigu's generation, his family became extremely noble. Han Zhigu became the Minister of the Central Secretariat, and Han Derang's father Han Kuangsi became the remnant of Nanjing and was also named King Yan. Han Derang was even more powerful. He colluded with Empress Dowager Chengtian Xiao Chuo and became a traitor. He became the prime minister and was in charge of the North and South Privy Council. He also gave the Yelu surname and royal family status and entered the house of the tent Jifu! What's even more awesome is that he also established his own palace tent. The current eleven palaces in the Liao Kingdom is the palace of Prince Wenzhong, which is Han Derang's palace.

Moreover, unlike other powerful ministers in history who slept with the Queen Mother, Han Derang also met Yelu Longxu, a saint of Liao who had a "green mother plot". After Empress Dowager Chengtian passed away, Yelu Longxu was still as close as a father and son with Han Derang. After Han Derang died, he was buried next to his mother's tomb.

The Han family in Yutian continued to expand under the care of Emperor Shengzong of Liao and became the third surname of the Great Liao, second only to the Yelu family and the Xiao family, and could enjoy the treatment of the Yelu royal family. Therefore, the head of the Han family and the legitimate son both have the Yelu surname, and the wife is both the surname Xiao.

Such a family is incomparable to the Ma family in Yiwulu Mountain!

However, the Zhao family in Zhenzhou can be compared with the Han family in Yutian. Because Zhao Dejun, the ancestor of the Zhao family in Zhenzhou, is the largest traitor in the Liao Kingdom!

Han Delang's family was also a traitor, but he could not be called a big traitor. Because Han Zhigu, the ancestor of the Han family, was captured by the Khitans as a slave at the age of six, he was loyal to the Khitans. Zhao Dejun was originally the governor of Youzhou in the Later Tang Dynasty. He failed to compete with Shi Jingtang to become a son emperor and became a high-ranking official of the Khitan.

Later, Zhao Dejun's son Zhao Yanshou became the vanguard of attacking Jin, continuing his father's career as a traitor, and also wanted to be a son emperor, but was released by the Khitans. However, in this attack on Jin, Zhao Yanshou's eldest son Zhao Kuangzan stayed in the Central Plains and surrendered to the Later Han Dynasty as the governor of Hezhong. Later, he surrendered to this and the other, surrendered all the way to Zhao Kuangyin, and actually surrendered to a prominent general by surrendering.

However, Zhao Kuangzan (renamed Zhao Zan after surrendering to Zhao Kuangyin) remained in the Liao Kingdom and continued to be traitors, and was highly valued by the Liao Kingdom. So a situation occurred when Zhao was divided into two groups, and they were all high-ranking officials and nobles. Now Zhao Xiaoyan, the deputy governor of the Liao Kingdom, and Zhao Yanmu, the left-behind central government in Zhongjing (formerly Prime Minister of the Southern Prefecture), were all from the Zhao family in the Liao Dynasty.

In addition, like the Han family in Zhenzhou, there are many children who serve as the governor of the state army, and they are truly prominent clans.

Such a big clan is now going up the mountain to be a robber!

"It's because I don't want my surname Zhao," Ma Renwang shook his head and sighed, "Brother Zhong is a sinister after all, and he's a fucking slave..."

Ma Zhi smiled and said, "Isn't it just the surname Zhao? What's the difficulty? There are so many people in the world who are surnamed Zhao, and there is not one more person. My nephew turned around and advised him not to mess around."

"Okay, it's best." The Ma Ren nodded and said, "They are all children of the Yan family, what's wrong with being a bandit."

He paused, "If you advise him not to listen, you might as well let your teacher Murong Xiangshan come forward. His words should be of some use."

"I know, my nephew understands."

...

"You are going to be the county magistrate? Congratulations to Brother Ma, second brother."

Wu Haogu knew that Ma Zhi was going to be the county magistrate, and it was the afternoon of the second day after he arrived in Yanjing. It was Ma Zhi who told Wu Haogu and Ximen Qing to congratulate him on "**'s joy".

"What are you good to congratulate?" Ma Zhi smiled, "It's just that I spent money to buy an official... I have to say that I have to thank you and my elder sister for borrowing a thousand gold from a certain family, otherwise I can't afford it."

"Oh," Wu Haogu nodded, "The county magistrate spent a thousand gold to buy?"

He knew that the Liao Kingdom was a state army and usually had a few counties in charge. It would be possible to get ten thousand gold, and it was not too expensive.

"It takes a thousand gold there," Ma Zhi shook his head, "it's just one million."

"One million...so cheap?"

"It's not cheap anymore," Ma Zhi smiled, "It's not a rich county in the Song Dynasty, but a poor county in the Liao Dynasty. There is not much money, and there is a lot of trouble."

Yutian County is actually a rich county in Liao Kingdom, but it still can't make much money, because most of the land and population in the county have been divided up by the wealthy families of Yanyun, the eleven palaces and one palace (Khitan Royal). The tax indicators sent by Nanjing Road have not been completed in decades...

Wu Haogu nodded and followed Ma Zhi's path and said: "If you want to get money, you have to be a state army that can trade, such as Suzhou."

"Suzhou? Suzhou Anfu Army?"

"It's there." Wu Haogu said with his fingers, "If the fur, medicinal materials, eagle, harrier, horse, and precious wood on the Great Liao Dynasty can be exported to the Song Dynasty, it will be worth a lot of money. How about it? Can the second brother find the governor of the Anfu Army in Suzhou?"

"Dalang, do you really think that Anfujun in Suzhou is good?" Ma Zhi looked at Wu Haogu and asked.

"How is it not good?" Wu Haogu asked, "It is close to the sea in the south and the Chengguan in the north. It takes only one day to go to Dengzhou."

"But the Suzhou Anfu Army is too far from Yanjing."

"Yanjing?" Wu Haogu understood that Ma Zhi's eyes were mainly looking at Yanyun's Sixteen Prefectures, "Yanjing's contributions are too great and the oil is too much. How can you and I eat it? Even if you, the Ma family in Yiwulu Mountain, can't be the master of Nanjing now, right? And the second brother of Ma seems to be the patriarch of your Ma family, but?"

Ma Zhi didn't speak.
