The day before yesterday, Ying Lian, the Minister of Criminal Affairs and the Minister of Household Affairs, petitioned for a large donation. Liu Tongxun, the Minister of Military Aircraft, and Man Zhangjing, Su Cheng'e, of the Military Aircraft Department, firmly opposed it. They believed that the people responsible for the large donation were high-ranking and important positions. If they made a large donation,
The sale will definitely lead to further corruption of officialdom.
The Chief Minister of Military Aircraft Yu Minzhong and another Minister of Military Aircraft Fu Longan, who was also the Minister of Industry, agreed to make a large donation, because there was really not much money in the national treasury at the moment. If this delayed the Jinchuan and Jinchuan wars and the longevity of the Queen Mother, the Military Aircraft Department
Everyone from top to bottom takes responsibility.
So Lin, the minister of military aircraft who was also in charge of the affairs of the Ministry of War, and Liu Tongxun had a direct quarrel, and both sides had their own opinions.
Helpless, Yu Minzhong asked for the emperor's will to make a large donation again, but was told that the emperor had gone to Yuanmingyuan. After discussing with Fulong'an, Yu Minzhong asked Manzhang Jingqinggui to go to Yuanmingyuan to ask for the emperor's exact will. In this way, the military aircraft
It’s easy to get things done everywhere.
Qinggui, who was an upright man, did not agree to make a large donation, so he wanted to dissuade the emperor in front of him. Unexpectedly, the emperor did not see him, so he only asked his chamberlain to pass an oral order, saying that he wanted the Military Aircraft Department to seriously supervise the large donation.
Now that things have come to this, we can no longer make large donations.
The staff was also very efficient. They quickly issued 112 official positions above the fourth rank and 124 titles below the baron level, including the first-class captain of the light carriage. They posted a list and posted it to all provinces so that the local officials in office would know about it.
Convenient to donate.
Therefore, in fact, the officials and nobles listed on the bulletin board by the Ministry of Civil Affairs are only one-half of the agreed donation.
But just one-half of this was enough to cause a major earthquake in the capital.
.........
Big donation?
Just when Jia Liu was about to leave and wondered what a big donation was, the group of people who were watching the list like him earlier seemed to have gotten some signal and rushed towards the post.
"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, you can see for yourself after I post the list!"
The crowd rushed to ask questions, and they were so anxious to post the official list. They finally posted the official list in the notice column, and the crowd exploded in an instant.
“What a great donation, what a great donation!”
"I'm just going to say that the Queen Mother has a long life, and the court will definitely make a large donation. What do you think? Just ask me to tell you!"
"Good fellow, the captain of the first-class light carriages has sold them all!"
"Salt Law Road, patrolman!"
"The forwards will take the lead, the guards will take the lead, and the heroic cavalry will take the lead! Be good, we have all the three ranks in the banner!"
"Vice general? How is this possible!"
Everyone who was looking at the list was shocked by the newly posted official position of donating money. At this time, someone shouted again: "My dear mother, she is the salt transport envoy, she is the salt transport envoy!"
"...."
This loud roar made the crowd watching the list, who had been shouting just now, instantly quiet down, and then they walked away in unison without even looking back.
It's really a rush to see and a rush to go.
Jia Liu was stunned and didn't know what was going on.
There was an experienced middle-aged man next to him who was looking at the list with him. Seeing Jia Liu's confused look, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Brother, don't you understand? It takes many years for a large donation to be a good thing. Given the official position,
It's much higher than the usual small donation, especially since the Salt Transport Envoy is one of the rarest positions in the world, even if it's given to the governor, he won't change it, so those people have to go back quickly."
Salt Transport Envoy, as the name suggests, must be related to the salt administration. What was the most profitable person in the Qing Dynasty?
Of course it's salt.
During the Qianlong Dynasty, the salt merchants in Yangzhou were as rich as the rest of the country. Of course, they were blackmailed severely by Qianlong.
Jia Liu probably understood the value of this salt transport envoy, but he was even more confused. He asked the middle-aged man: "If there is a job, why are they leaving?"
The man smiled "hehe" again and said cheerfully: "Brother, you think these people are here to see the list for yourself? How is that possible? They all came here for those rich locals. Now when the court makes a large donation, they still
Given such a good official title, can you go back and inform him quickly... Otherwise, the news will be delayed and the job will be bought by others, can the master spare him?"
I see.
Jia Liu nodded. He was concerned about the situation in the game, so he came over to look at the list in person, otherwise Shuan Zhu must have come over to look at it for him, the young master.
Of course, it also shows that his talent level as a young man is too low, and he is completely uncompetitive in the donation project.
"Let's go over and take a look and see what kind of jobs the imperial court has given us!"
The middle-aged man patted Jia Liu on the shoulder familiarly and motioned for him to go and look at the donation list. Jia Liu followed him to have a look, but he only glanced at it and couldn't read any further.
One word, expensive;
Two words, too expensive.
A third-grade forward leader actually asked for 24,500 taels of silver, and only bannermen could purchase it.
From the second-grade lieutenant general, there is no restriction on bannermen. The problem is that the asking price is 28,800 taels.
The price of the salt transporter is astonishing, as high as 128,400 taels!
This is a fucking money grab!
Jia Liu was frightened. He thought that the small donation list he had just read was shameless enough, but he did not expect that the large donation list was shameless.
He didn't know that the official donation list he was looking at was actually quite cheap, because the really expensive and hot jobs were all covered by the officials.
It should be understood that the donation issued by the Qing court was not only for private tycoons to buy, but also for officials within the system.
Therefore, there are many ways to decide who can buy and who cannot buy.
It may not be possible to explain it clearly in one day and one night.
With a sigh and a slight shake of his head, Jia Liu left the official list of big donors wisely. The opportunity was rare, but he was really shy in his pocket. He came to the small official list again, and the more he looked at it, the more dissatisfied he became.
It's angry.
what is the reason?
The price-performance ratio is too low and cannot be compared with the official list of large donations.
The lowest price on the list of small donations was 980 taels from the deputy county chief, but according to Jia Liu's own inquiries (for fear of his second brother-in-law Gao Delu's words being too watery), if he wanted to truly win the bid and win the project, he would have to pay at least 1,500 taels.
1,500 taels doesn't sound like much, but the question is how much money does the Jia family have?
The day before yesterday, under Jia Liu's sincere and filial performance, and under the "threat" that if he could not become an official, he might as well become a monk in a temple, Jia Daquan's psychological defense line was finally broken through little by little.
Finally, the eldest sister Jia Juan gave the final word.
"It's rare for the sixth son to know how to make progress. Even if our family sells iron, we still have to support the sixth son to buy an official position!"
Jia Juan, who was also facing difficulties at home, wanted to support her baby brother in his career and for the sake of a better future for her mother's family. In front of her silent husband, she expressed her willingness to sell all her family's dowry jewelry so that her brother could buy an official position!
It can probably be sold for about seventy or eighty taels.
"The eldest sister is right. I am only a younger brother like Liuzi. It's fine if he doesn't learn well. But now that he knows what's good, I, the second sister, can't just sit idly by!"
After Jia Lan glanced at her husband, whose brows were twitching, she gritted her teeth and said she offered two hundred taels.
The second sister's family is better off than the eldest sister's family, but the parents-in-law are all here, and the family is not separated, so the young couple does not have much private money, and two hundred taels is the limit.
It's not easy for both sisters, but 280 taels is not enough to buy the cheapest county magistrate, so the key is to look at Jia Daquan as the father.
"This...that...that's all. All the aunts out there know how to think about their brothers. How can I, the father, ignore it!"
Jia Daquan worked hard and gave his son and daughter a solid foundation.
