Chapter 304: Being an official is doing business

A man can bend and stretch, but the biggest enemy of a corrupt official is the emperor. With this common enemy, is there anything that cannot be discussed?

In any case, his consort Jia Jia'e and the rich governor are both members of the mutual aid association.

Both of them are greedy and collaborate with the enemy.

There is no reason to sour the relationship.

As long as he can serve the Qing Dynasty, the shameless Jia Liu doesn't care at all.

Currently, he has done a lot of shameless things.

Liu Bang could be the founding emperor, how about him?

Compared to Liu Bang, Jia Jiashikai was infinitely better. He was a living embryo of Taizu. No matter how bad he was, he was still a holy ancestor.

This is the spiritual level.

At the cultural level, being able to do what you want is the greatest expression of the Confucian spirit of moderation.

Extending to the Buddhist culture, if you are not the Tathagata Buddha, you must at least be the master of Guanyin.

military level.

That is the reincarnation of Han Xin, who can penetrate the crotch, an existence that even great military strategists cannot describe.

Spirituality, culture, and military are all templates for unparalleled heroes. Who else is stronger than the prince-in-law?

Of course, the biggest reason that prompted Jia Liu to prepare for reconciliation with the old rich man had nothing to do with any of these. The main reason was the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, Lerjin.

In the list that the old man showed Jia Liu, this person was listed alongside Li Shiyao, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, Chen Huizu, the governor of Huguang, Yade, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, and Yang Jingsu, the governor of Zhili.

Together with Fulehun, these six governors are the "six elders" of the mutual aid association.

Anke also revealed that Chief Military Minister Yu Minzhong had been released from prison. Yu Minzhong's status in the mutual aid association, Jia Liu felt, could be described as "sitting in the official position".

Because this person is the Prime Minister.

I thought that the Prime Minister must have farted, but I didn't expect that he would come out to sit in the restaurant again, which made Jia Liu feel uncomfortable.

I really hate Qianlong, this traitor who has harmed the country.

It's true that insects can't work with him.

There is no other way, the Prime Minister has failed again, Jia Liu can only try to mend the cracks with Lao Fu, and the two sides will re-establish a strategic partnership.

At present, as long as he does not raise a flag of rebellion, he cannot afford to offend every noble in the Qing system.

As for the tribe, you can still have a fight.

"There are no permanent enemies and no permanent friends in the world. Even a kid like me knows this. Is there any reason for adults not to know this?"

Jia Liu, who was holding the chess pieces, looked at the old rich man with a smile.

After persistent stalking and hard work, a red heart finally touched the shady old rich man, and he got the opportunity to play games at the inn.

It is true that they were prisoners who were sent to Beijing to await trial, but as long as the results of the ministry meeting are pending, they still enjoy certain human rights legally.

At the very least, it would definitely be okay to play chess during a break while stopping to eat.

Different from Jia Liu's hot-assed look, the old rich man looked impatient: "Are you leaving?"

"Let's go, let's do the vault!"

Jia Liu was so excited that he rushed forward on his horse, but he didn't notice that Lao Fu's cannon had been mounted on the fort at some point.

There was a "bang" sound, and the horse was hit by the old man's cannon.

Jia Liu quickly stopped: "No, no, I made a mistake. This step doesn't count. Let's start over."

"You can't regret your move!"

Rich people are not allowed to cheat.

Jia Liu smacked his lips: "You're boring now, why don't you think Wu Laoer will come and cause trouble?"

"Who is Wu Laoer?"

"A stinky chess piece."

"You mean I'm worse than a stinky chess player?"

"No, sir, I really didn't mean that."

Seeing the old man walking away and voluntarily getting into the prison car to wait for departure, Jia Liu could only follow him and get into a prison car behind him.

There is always a chance. As long as both parties have a chance to survive, there is no reason for the old rich man to form a deadly feud with his intelligence.

Is there any other explanation for the Sichuan people's farewell to each other?

Look who said it.

The motorcade continued northward, and when it was approaching Xi'an, the Governor of Shaanxi and Gansu sent someone to entertain the leading guard Guoen and his party at a banquet.

But everyone knows that the governor is not interested in drinking.

I don’t know what the people in the Governor’s Mansion told Guoen. Anyway, Guoen ordered the prisoners to be brought into the city, and then the two prisoners were naturally invited to the Governor’s banquet.

The process went smoothly, the imperial guards didn't take it seriously, and even Jia Liu didn't find it strange.

We, the Qing Dynasty, have our own national conditions.

The governor and admiral of Sichuan who were sent to Beijing were invited to the banquet. Not only Le Erjin, the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu in the northwest, but also Bi Yuan, the top governor of Shaanxi Province.

This person was born as a top scholar and is a rare academic master.

There was another person who surprised Jia Liu and was particularly kind to him. He even had the idea of ​​learning from this person.

It was the second-in-command in Gansu, the founder of the mutual aid association and the chief envoy Wang Danwang who played Qianlong like a fool.

Wang Danwang did not come here specifically to visit the rich member who was involved in the accident, but came to Xi'an to take care of the 50,000 surveillance licenses in the province.

A supervisor's license is the qualification for an Imperial College student.

In addition to donating officials during the Great Clearance, you can also donate prisons.

The so-called "donation to prison" means that the people of the Qing Dynasty, as long as they are male, can contribute money or food to purchase the qualifications of Imperial College students.

Jia Liu understood it this way, as if he only had a primary school diploma or could not read a single Chinese character, but he wanted to be a civil servant.

But this civil servant doesn't want to be too low-priced and be laughed at by others, saying that he is worthless.

what to do?

Easy to handle!

The Qing Dynasty has made clear arrangements for you.

It doesn't matter if you are illiterate, as long as you have money.

Donating to prison is equivalent to using a sum of money to buy a college degree or above.

Submit the money to the Ministry of Accounts, and the Ministry of Accounts will issue a license, which is like a receipt for receiving the money.

The buyer then takes the receipt to the Imperial College to exchange for a "supervision certificate", which is a nationally recognized college diploma or above.

If you have a college degree or above and spend money to donate to an official position, you will definitely be better off than those without a diploma.

The face is very shiny.

In order to allow all wealthy people in Gansu to have a college diploma or above, and thus make Gansu a province with strong knowledge, Wang Danwang stipulated that all prison donation matters in Gansu should be centralized at the provincial government office in Lanzhou, the provincial capital.

In this way, all the money donated to prisons in the province will be handed over to him.

According to the system, in addition to the prescribed grains, each prison student must also pay two taels of public funds when donating to the prison. Half is handed over to the Ministry of Household Affairs, and the other half is retained by the province.

However, Mr. Wang considered that there were too many formalities and people traveling to and from Beijing on business too many times, which would add a lot of unnecessary expenses out of thin air, so he considerately asked those who spent money to buy diplomas to pay an additional amount of miscellaneous fees in addition to the public bank.

Not much was collected, no more than ten taels per person.

Bi Yuan, the governor of Shaanxi who was born in the imperial examination, kept looking at his consort Jia Jia who was engrossed in eating vegetables, while the two governors kept exchanging glances.

Occasionally, he said a few words, which sounded like Morse code, making the concubine completely confused and the clouds and mountains shimmering in the fog.

After hearing that Mr. Wang came to Xi'an for surveillance, I couldn't help but curiously asked: "How many surveillance licenses will Gansu need to replace this time?"

Mr. Wang smiled at his consort: "Not many, fifty thousand."

"Can this business still be done?"

Jia Liu was shocked on the spot. It was unimaginable that a remote province in Gansu would produce 50,000 college students a year!

"Huh? It's hard to find a close friend, it's hard to find a close friend!"

Mr. Wang actually stood up and took a piece of meat to the admiral's brother-in-law, and said with a smile: "My brother-in-law said it well, being an official is just doing business, isn't it?"
