Seeing Master Shen hesitating, Lin Yanchao had an idea.

"Master Shen, I am from Hongtang, this time I came to the provincial capital, passing by Hongtang City, it is really prosperous over there."

"Hongtang City, Zhongting City, Tanwei City, are cities outside the county, and the provincial tax is located." Master Shen and Lin Yanchao said.

"Yes, the student remembers that there is a patrol department and a tax department in Hongtang City, but I don't know if there is a shortage of directors there? Or is the post station also good? Lin Yanchao asked discussively.

Hearing Lin Yanchao say this, Master Shen suddenly rolled his eyes. This is simply a lion's big mouth, although the head of the inspection department, the tax department, and the post station is a minor official, he is not a casual enter.

In this way, the department is either a place for officials to be demoted and released, or they have a big backer behind them. For example, Wang Yangming was demoted from the capital, and he worked as a post in Longchang. If you change to an ordinary official, there is no big price, how can you get in lightly.

What's more, the Inspection Department of Hongtang City, the Tax Division, and Zhouzhi County can't install people.

These are all oil and water departments, Hongtang City Inspection Department, and Taxation Department have thousands of dollars in money every year, tens of thousands of taels, and the officials in the post station are ushered in, eating, drinking, and chewing, and it is normal to reimburse two or three thousand taels a year.

"Who said that the inspection department of the inspection department, the ambassador of the tax department, there is no flow of goods in the post station, this is all from the miscellaneous officials of the nine products, not to mention that it is not the turn of the turn, even if it is the turn of you as a local." Master Shen counted down.

Lin Yanchao was embarrassed when he heard this, he was really a layman, and said with a dry laugh: "That's what I said, Master Shen just listened, it's not to be an official to be close to home." ”

Close to home? To be an official is to be close to home?

Master Shen immediately retracted his opinion of this young man and prodigy, what should not bully the young man to be poor, he is simply a lazy person who covets comfort.

"No, no, no." Lin Yanchao is also calculating the gains and losses in his heart. Even if you are a clerk, although you have a lot of money and power, your status is low, not to mention that you are going to take the road of the imperial examination, and your grandfather is a clerk, which is not good for your reputation. A sentence that comes out of the family of a scholar can become a laughing stock in the mouth of the scholar.

If the officials can't do it, just the miscellaneous officials, the so-called miscellaneous officials are the legendary lower nine streams, not into the stream officials. But even if he is not a popular product, he is still an official, and his status is higher than that of the officials.

is the so-called sky-high asking price, and the money is paid back on the ground. Lin Yanchao took the initiative to mention this, and Master Shen probably figured out Lin Yanchao's asking price.

This young man really dares to open this mouth, doesn't he really put the yamen in his eyes? Master Shen remembered what Zhou Zhixian said before, and couldn't help but slander, what do you dare to ask for? Your county lord will try it yourself.

Now that Zhou Zhixian is not there, Master Shen is also wiping his sweat, it seems that the small fish and shrimp will not be able to mess around, and the bottom line is almost to the bottom line that he can be the master.

Master Shen said: "You want to be close to home, okay, there is a shortage of the sluice and dam officials who go down?" ”

"What is this for?" Although Lin Yanchao has traveled to the Ming Dynasty for a while, some departments are still unclear.

"Take charge of the sluice dam, the responsibility of opening and closing!"

Lin Yanchao, I ......

"It's too difficult for you to do, okay, I think about it, by the way, ...... Leaky Zeyuan, you don't know? That's a good job! Master Shen high-fived and said.

Mass grave keepers? Good errand? It's not that tricky, is it?

Lin Yanchao said twice about this.

In the end, Master Shen said angrily: "Okay, the ambassador of the Hebo Institute has been vacant for a long time, and I have no choice for the rest, so the young man can do it himself." ”

Lin Yanchao asked, "Master Shen, what kind of place is this river mooring?" ”

Master Shen was not interested in going around any longer and said: "In the early years of Hongwu, the activities of the Japanese were rampant at sea, and the imperial court strictly controlled the fishermen, so they made up a household and established a long, which belonged to the river mooring. In addition, the fish oil, feathers, and fish bladders urged by the Ministry of Industry should also be collected, and the ambassador retired three months ago, and no one was in charge. ”

"The best point, because Fujian is located in a remote area, the dynasty allows, the ambassador can be filled by a local official, as long as the urging is completed on weekdays, no one will take care of you. If you can't finish urging the department, it doesn't matter much, it's just two hundred taels of silver, and no one in the county really looks down on it, do you say it's a good errand for a prince who doesn't change it. ”

Stop! Even the work of Leaky Zeyuan is said to be a good errand Master Shen, Lin Yanchao plans to ask clearly.

"What about the treatment?"

Although Master Shen is a famous criminal master, he is also proficient in the food and goods of the county's Qiangu, and he said like a few treasures: "The country has a law, and the county's river berth is less than 1,000 stones, so there is only one official, not into the stream, another person, eight patrols, and five donated boats." The ambassador of the river station, Qin gave a horse, a horseman, and a new firewood soap, and the ambassador of the river station, three stones per month, of which one stone is in the true color, two stones in the folded color, and no silver is added in leap years, of course, this is only on the surface. ”

Lin Yanchao remembered that when his grandfather was a shopkeeper, his annual salary was only nine taels and five yuan, which was only a little higher than the seven taels and two dollars of ordinary shop soldiers.

The river berth is far inferior to the inspection department and the post station, but it is much stronger than the express shop, and the river berth is also a real power department. It seems that this is also the best I can get at present, no matter how greedy I am, I can't get anything, so I'll take it when I see it.

So Lin Yanchao arched his hand and said to Master Shen: "Zhou Zhixian, Master Shen has said so, then I can't be ignorant, so it's too faceless, I'll go back and talk to my grandfather, and I'll talk back tomorrow." ”

"It's fine." Master Shen wiped the sweat on his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he had finally settled the matter, this young man is really not easy to fool, if I have such a shrewd son, I will not have to worry about anything in the future.

After Master Shen sent Lin Yanchao out of the county office, he solemnly advised: "Today's matter, my matter with you, God knows what you know, I know, remember not to say it, talk to a third person." ”

Lin Yanchao understood what he heard, and immediately said to Master Shen: "Master Shen, I remember." ”

Master Shen smiled at the moment, showing a reassuring smile.

Lin Yanchao left the county office, and now that he has five taels of silver in his pocket, he doesn't have to walk home for two hours, so he simply has a luxury and hires a boat to go back.

Thinking of this, Lin Yanchao went directly north, went to the Antai River, found a boat to rent, and spent a hundred yuan to hire a small boat. Returning home by boat, and the news of the opening of a warehouse for disaster relief along the way has spread, the people help the old and the young, and line up at the Changfeng warehouse in the west of the city with grain bags.

Along the river, the people who had received the rice with grain bags walked with happy faces.

The husband carried the grain bag and helped the mother to walk in front, the wife held the child, the family touched the hand one by one, the husband carried the bulging grain bag, and the adults and children were crying with joy.

An old man with white hair and patches on his body, holding a child, took a step to look at the food in his hand.

"Son, we can live, live!" The old man burst into tears and said to the child in his arms.

"Mother, if you have food, you don't have to sell me to a big family as a maid, right?" A young girl asked her mother.

"Child, my mother is sorry for you! Mother won't sell you anymore. ”

The girl's sweet voice called there: "Mother, then I'll make wild vegetable porridge for you and my brother when you go home!" ”

Such scenes are everywhere.

Looking at this scene, a few tears fell imperceptibly in Lin Yanchao's eyes.

When planning for Zhou County's order and Master Shen, he only cared about what he could get from it, for himself, and for his family. But now I see the hungry people in front of me, that humble expectation, and the need for the simplest of life.

Lin Yanchao felt that he was a little narrow-minded, remembering the ambition when he first stepped into the official career in his previous life, but later he was disappointed in the future, tired of copywriting, and his ambition was wasted, and he only wanted three meals to eat and wear, and his girlfriend was happy.

If you don't study for Daoliang, you can't do it now, but if you ...... in the future. In the future, when I will become an official, I will definitely not forget what I saw today!

Lin Yanchao clenched his palms and said to himself silently.
