18. Pen, ink, vermilion, money

Of course, the emperor did not completely take the princes of the towns for nothing, he and Huo Zhongtang and other officials secretly discussed, and simply called the envoy who went to Xuansuo to bring hundreds of blank civil and military officials to go, don't you like to engage in "self-owned officials"? Is this a way to absorb the local situation and strengthen your separatist power? Fang Zhen can recruit this group of people as patrol officials, push officials, envoys, or some kind of "county order" or the like, but these are all "positions", and if you want to be "officials", you still have to be granted by the imperial court to be formal.

These blank confessions to the emperor said, what "doctor", "Xielu Lang", "Si Zhi" in the civil official, to the "inspection of the X department of the foreign lang", "the inspection of the school X department Langzhong" are all there, the military attache of what "captain", "school captain", "guerrilla general" also have, in addition to the liunei officials, there are also a large number of liuwai officials, for the officials in the shogunate or yamen in Fangzhen to choose, and even civil and military officials, and gift officials, life women, titles, these times specifically take the upper route of Fang Town, do you want to give an official to your dead father? Does your wife want to be a wife? In short, from the nine products to the five grades are readily available, in addition to the grades of the internal service province are not sold for the time being, covering all kinds of official titles in the stream, outside the stream, scattered, honored, and guarded - the lieutenant officials took these blanks to Huaixi, Biansong, Ziqing, Weibo and other places, and the prices of the internal officials and scattered officials ranged from 500 to 10,000 yuan, and the prices of the foreign officials ranged from 20 to 300 yuan, and the title was the most expensive, the founding baron was 8,000 yuan, and the lowest was the Wei and the honorable officers who existed in name only, and they were all sold at the price of cabbage.

The name of the confession is to copy the "pen and ink vermilion money" required to tell the body, the local rich and powerful want to get what official title, just say it to the lieutenant, the lieutenant feels that it is okay, after negotiating the price, the two sides will agree, the name of the confession party will be copied up, and then brought back to the southern province yamen, the civil official's confession will let the official department stamp the seal, the words are "the seal of the Shangshu Minister's Department", the military attache will let the military department do it, the words are "the seal of the Shangshu Military Department", and at the same time spend money to buy the internal officials of the Liu, and they can also get a copy of the emperor's handwriting of the "Imperial Sun Shadow" The ink (signed by the owner, and the date is also written) as a permanent memorial, paid to you by the post station, the money and goods are clear, and the children are not deceived.

"Your Majesty, in ancient times, the imperial court set up officials to treat talents, the lords praised the martyrs, and the election was the most taboo and abusive, in the past, Wei was in the palace, and the officials were not less than hundreds in one day, and finally the head was hung on the tree, and the Ming Dynasty was punished, this is the lesson of the previous generation, how can Your Majesty be the identity of the Ninety-Five Supreme, repeat the mistakes of the past? What does this make the faithful and upright people who are advancing in the class think? Lu Zhen, who learned that the emperor was going to sell his official beard to make money, was shocked, and went into the palace in a heartbroken manner, advising the emperor to withdraw his life.

But the emperor said that the officials of the three provinces and six departments, the imperial history platform, and the temple supervisors in the capital were not hypocritical and indiscriminate, and their assessment and deposition were all handed over to Lu Jiu, the prime minister, and I asked the little envoys to go to the Kanto region and sell them as military expenses, which was no big deal.

After all, Emperor Xuanzong also relied on selling blanks to get his body and went to Liuhu Prefecture to get the war horses of the local chiefs, what kind of things such as "buying and selling public offices" and "borrowing Pingkou", our Li family has no psychological burden at all, otherwise you think that Chang'an has been captured many times and can still come back is fake? The Son of Heaven guards the country and dies? I'm sorry, it's impossible, it doesn't exist, don't talk nonsense, stupid isn't it......

At this time, Li Jifu, a scholar from Hanlin who was sitting on the side, also spoke for the emperor, "The military state is eventful, and it can only be expedient. ”

Lu Zhen's face was red, and he could only sigh angrily.

"Hongxian, isn't it a little too bad just to sell yourself in Kanto?"

Li Jifu suggested that the emperor could also go to Sanchuan and Jingnan, Eyue Hunan, and Jiangnan to sell.

Now, especially the Xingyuan Mansion under Gao Yue's rule and the Shudu Mansion under Wei Gao's rule, the businessmen and wealthy families in it are all rich in wealth, and people have money, just like a farewell scenery, Your Majesty, you have to grasp the hearts and minds of the people in the world!

"It makes sense, don't sell it in Jingshi, the impact is not good." The emperor made a decision.

At this time, the emperor asked Li Jifu again, can you tie up something and get another sum of money?

Li Jifu replied that the emperor could accompany him and sell wat boards, vermilion purple, scarlet clothes, and gold and silver fish bags.

"Honeysuckle bag, this ......"

"The fish bags of the real court officials all have charms inside, and this batch of fish bags sold can be embroidered with a gold or silver thread on the outside."

Then the "official workshops" of the Daming Palace began to operate frantically, creating the "periphery" of the body - the so-called ivory wat board, which is a wooden slip painted with milky white paint; And what purple clothes, scarlet clothes are printed and dyed with cotton clothes; A fish bag is an ordinary fabric bag with thread embroidered on the outside.

But the amazing thing is that the lieutenants who went out to the towns of all sides sold their business surprisingly well!

Not only the officials in the shogunate and the government office, but also those wealthy merchants and households, all of them enthusiastically came to buy this farewell, as well as elephant wats, court clothes, fish bags and other surrounding areas, as well as quite a number of Fang town officials and generals for their children, wives and concubines, as well as dead parents and parents who begged for dismissal, women and gift officials, all of them as if they were crazy.

Li Yuanping in Huaixi spent 10,000 yuan to buy a county gentleman's wife for his favorite concubine Xiangling, who looks a little similar to Yunhe.

Even Wu Shaocheng's domestic slaves have all become captains and captains.

The lieutenant who sold his body came to Xingyuan Mansion to peddle business, and Gao Yue's wife Yun Shao was itchy and found it interesting, saying that she would spend money on her sister Yunhe and her concubine Zhihui to buy a wife.

Yun He hurriedly stopped it, this kind of ink oblique seal in disdain is not worth money at all, how can it be worthy of our identity? Spending money is equal to spending money in vain, but it is just a means of expropriation by the imperial court.

And Zhihui also persuaded the housewife not to spend money indiscriminately, and immediately asked the third brother to ask the court in a dignified manner.

In the end, Yun Shao spent 500 yuan to buy the official title of "trial school scholar" for Xue Tao, a student official of Xingyuan Girls' School.

The lieutenant patted his chest and said, don't say yes, even if you can't, with your status as a county duchess, you can buy a wife for any male academic official in Xingyuan Mansion.

Yun Shao was a little sad when she said this, she later said to Yun He and Zhihui in private, when Qingqing got the Zhengzi of Jixian Academy, and a green shirt, when she came back and handed it over to me to tailor, I don't know how proud and beautiful it is, but now?

"This kind of ink oblique sealing thing, where can it be compared with my brother-in-law's original green shirt!" Yun He comforted his sister and said.

After complaining and complaining, the emperor actually collected 1.3 million yuan, and in addition to claiming more than 700,000 yuan from various towns.

At the critical moment, there were also Du You, the envoy of the Lingnan Economic and Temperate Degree, and Zhang Peng, who judged the salt and iron division, the former engaged in a monopoly on sugar cutting in Lingnan, and brought 250,000 yuan of profits into the service; And Zhang Pan saw that the salt profit was greatly damaged, and he was afraid of losing power, so he began to make tea and wine, and obtained 400,000 yuan, which he went along the Hanchuan River, and then transferred to Shangjin Road and then sent to Jingshi.

The emperor who got the money waved his hand and said that the imperial expedition had begun!
