In his own home, he dug out an antique from the ground, which was exactly the same as what the other party said, which made Tsui Hark have no choice but to believe it.
Not only Tsui Hark, but also Qian Jiali was a little confused after hearing this. Lao Xu's knowledge was not bad. Since he said that the land had not been loosened, it must have not been loosened, and he also knew about Lao Xu's home.
, it is in a high-end community, and it is a single-family villa. It has been built for more than 20 years.
If you were a liar, how would you know there were antiques buried underground?
Fang Ming also frowned slightly, and after a while he asked, "What's in the iron box?"
"A pair of broken porcelain pieces."
Tsui Hark answered, and then immediately added: "Don't get me wrong, although the porcelain is broken, I took it for appraisal and found that it is indeed an object from the Ming Dynasty. Maybe the person who buried it accidentally broke the porcelain.
"
"Of course, that's very possible."
Fang Ming nodded in agreement, and then asked: "So will you get in touch with them later?"
"Yes, there was a contact information on the drawing they gave me. I contacted them according to that contact information, and then I realized that I was the minister they were looking for."
"Minister of Xinglong?"
"That's right, he is the minister of Xinglong. This is what Mr. Liu Bowen, the national advisor, said personally. In addition to asking Emperor Hongwu to keep the Dragon Clan, Mr. Liu Bowen also made a special calculation, saying that after Emperor Hui is resurrected in the future, he will need
A group of auxiliary ministers, so he specially asked people to bury these antiques according to the directions he drew. When Emperor Hui is born, whose house these antiques are in, that house owner will be the ministers of Xinglong."
The more Xu Ke talked about it, the more excited he became. Who is the Minister of Xinglong? He was chosen by God and was destined to revive the Ming Dynasty.
"Mr. Xu, are there many ministers like you who are interested in promoting the dragon?"
"How could there be more?" Xu Ke glared at Fang Ming and replied dissatisfied: "The ministers of Xinglong are very rare. There are only one hundred and twenty-six in total. Think about how many officials we have in the Ming Dynasty. One
The cabinet, plus the Six Ministries, the Zhan Shifu and the Five Temples, there are thousands of officials, large and small, but there are only 120 ministers of Xinglong. You can imagine how low this ratio is."
"That's indeed very low, but are all the officials in our court ready now?" Fang Ming continued to ask.
An unnatural look flashed across Tsui Hark's face, and his tone became weaker, and he said: "That... is naturally not complete yet, but His Majesty also said that we ministers of Xinglong can recommend suitable ones to Your Majesty.
As an official, His Majesty has great trust in us. As long as it is recommended by us, he will naturally approve it."
Hearing Xu Hark's answer, Fang Ming understood that in the court of love, apart from Emperor Hui, the only people left in the imperial court were ministers like Xu Hark who thrived on the dragon. As for other officials, they would have to rely on Xu Hark and the others.
Long Zhichen went to bring people in.
Why does this sound so similar to certain groups in society?
"Professor Xu, does your promotion depend on how many people you bring to the court?"
Dazhu, who had been silent on the side, suddenly asked. When he saw Xu Hark nodded slightly and admitted, he curled his lips. Isn't this the same as the pyramid scheme that went to the village to deceive the villagers?
The upper line develops and the lower line develops, and the lower line continues to develop the lower line. It starts from scratch, slowly grows, and then becomes hierarchical. Even people in their village don’t believe in this MLM model now. This Xu, who has read so many books,
It is simply incomprehensible that the professor would still believe and be deceived.
"Old Xu, I know you have always wanted to be an official. That incident hit you hard at the beginning, but you must also distinguish right from wrong. It is obviously a scam."
Qian Jiali also heard that this so-called court has nothing, and it relies on so-called Xinglong ministers like Lao Xu and others to develop. To put it this way, the title of Xinglong ministers really has no meaning at all.
Wrong.
Qian Jiali also knew something about Lao Xu's past experience. Lao Xu was among the first batch of college students to graduate after the resumption of the college entrance examination. He should have had a bright future when he joined the officialdom, but something happened and he was transferred to the education system.
Being a university professor is pretty good compared to most, but in Lao Xu's heart he just felt depressed and often kept repeating a few lines of ancient poems.
"People with lofty ideals should not complain, for the ancient materials will be hard to use."
"It's a pity that you sit down at the front table in the middle of the night and don't ask about the common people or the ghosts and gods."
…
Lao Xu thought that he was talented, and the building was like a pillar. He was a pillar of talent who could help the country, but his talents were always ignored. However, in Qian Jiali's view, Lao Xu was okay as a professor.
But he is really not an official. He is just an official fan, and he still has feudal ideas in his heart.
Don't think it's incredible that a university professor has feudal ideas in his heart. There are too many people in this society who have such feudal ideas. Of course, the main reason for this is the official standard.
Study hard in the cold window and no one will ask you, but soon you will become famous all over the world.
Everything is of inferior quality, only reading is of high quality.
Why only reading is good?
Although many people say that studying can make you wise, they are just deceiving themselves and others. The original reason why they said this is actually because studying can help you become an official.
Even in some relatively remote and backward villages, if there is a college student in the village, some elderly people will usually say something like this: "The child of so-and-so has been admitted to a good university, and he will definitely become a high official in the future."
Even some college students graduate and go to foreign companies or large companies to get high salaries. These old people still don't understand, why, after studying such a high level of education, they actually go to work for others?
In the feudal society of more than two thousand years, this kind of official-oriented thinking cannot be eliminated in a short time. At least in the next hundred years, this ideological trend will continue, even in the hearts of young people.
Senior, is there a meeting on the 7th?
Brother Hui from Zhejiang University!
These bizarre incidents all illustrate the strong official-centered thinking.
"Okay, I won't talk to you anymore, I'm going to attend the court meeting."
"Mr. Xu, don't worry, I believe it too. Why don't you take me with you, Mr. Xu? I also want to meet Emperor Hui." Fang Ming said quickly.
"How shameless, you can meet Emperor Hui whenever you want. Not to mention that you don't have an official position yet. Even if you have an official position, you, the ninth-rank inspector, are not even qualified to enter the court meeting."
Xu Ke looked dissatisfied, and Fang Ming immediately showed an open-minded expression and said in review: "Yes, I was negligent, but Master Xu, can you take me with you? Even if I don't attend the court meeting, it would be good to feel the atmosphere.
ah."
Hearing the words "Master Xu", Xu Ke's face felt like spring breeze, but he still pretended to be reserved and said: "It's not impossible to take you there, but according to the rules, if you want to join the Ming Dynasty, you must pay a fee of 10,000 yuan.
Court fees.”
"Of course, we are not trying to defraud you of money. This ten thousand yuan is your start-up capital. It costs money to make you court uniforms and issue you official seals. And with an official position, you are considered a tax-exempt person, and the court will also
Give them a salary."
Fang Ming responded with a smile: "I understand, this is called donation."
Fang Ming also knew about the history of the Ming Dynasty. In order to make up for the financial deficit, he chose to sell some black gauze hats at clearly marked prices. For many people who wanted to be officials, as long as they had money, they could buy them.
"Yes, it's just a donation. This is also a helpless move by the court. Extraordinary measures are used in extraordinary times." Xu Hark nodded and looked at Fang Ming with a teachable expression.
"I can pay the 10,000 yuan now. Mr. Xu, please take me with you."
"Of course there is no problem with this."
Tsui Hark nodded. If he develops a subordinate, he will also get merit points. If the merit points are enough, he can move to a higher position as a political advisor.
"teacher……"
Qian Jiali wanted to speak, but was stopped by Fang Ming's look. In the end, he could only say angrily: "Okay, then I also want to join the association, let's go together, and I will pay the ten thousand yuan."
"Old Qian, you have a bad attitude. Even if you want to join our Ming Dynasty, I will not give you an official position."
Well……
Seeing the arrogant look on his old friend's face, Qian Jiali looked helpless. He paid 10,000 yuan just to follow him and have a look. As for the officials of the Ming Dynasty, he had no interest at all.
When everything was settled, Fang Ming and Qian Jiali transferred 10,000 yuan each to the accounts given by Tsui Hark on the spot. Tsui Hark then made another phone call, and then took the two of them out of the antique city and headed towards the Magic City.
Heading towards the suburbs.
Half an hour later, the car drove into a cultural park and finally stopped in front of a two-story factory building in the innermost part.
The blue bricks and red walls were decorated in the style of the 1980s. After Tsui Hark got off the car, he warned him with a serious face: "You two should not talk nonsense for a while. The rules in the court are very strict, and your grades are
It's too low, and you are not allowed to speak unless a superior officer asks you."
"Don't worry, Mr. Xu, we definitely know this, but there is no need to kneel down, right?" Fang Ming asked with a smile.
"Of course there is no need for this unless His Majesty Emperor Hui comes in person, but Your Majesty...forget it, it's too early to tell you this now. In short, you just have to look at my eyes and act."
Qian Jiali on the side did not say a word, because he was afraid that he would not be able to resist Lao Xu if he opened his mouth. He just thought that his teacher was obviously interested in the Ming Dynasty, so he could only endure it.
When Xu Hark took Fang Ming and Qian Jiali to the door of the factory, there were two men in suits standing at the door, looking at Fang Ming and Qian Jiali.
"These two are my newly recruited subordinates. They have already reported to the Minister of Civil Affairs. Please let them go."
When the two men in suits heard what Tsui Hark said, they remained silent. One of them took out his cell phone and looked through it, then nodded, moved away, and let Fang Ming and the others in.
"Mr. Xu, you are involved in political affairs, why are you so polite to the two gatekeepers?" Fang Ming asked curiously after entering the factory.
"These two are not ordinary soldiers. They are imperial guards and belong directly to His Majesty. They are close ministers of the Emperor. Even if I am involved in political affairs, I have to be polite to them."
Hearing Tsui Hark's answer, Fang Ming smiled. He found that the Ming Dynasty was really interesting. Everything was done so well, but he didn't know what the content of their meeting would be.
