No wonder Song Wen was so excited, so that he who had always followed the rules lost his temper in front of Dong Weng Hu Zeyi, because Hu Zeyi's point was too tempting for him, and even awakened the longing in his heart that had been sealed for a long time!

Variegated inflow!

This is the ultimate lifelong dream of all officials in the world!

The so-called variegated colors mostly refer to those low-level officials who are filled with state capitals and county offices in various places and work for the imperial court. These people are either unsuccessful candidates seeking a livelihood and a future, or they are confidants of local officials, and basically belong to the group of people who have lost hope in the imperial examination, but are still full of desire for official careers. They are busy and busy, working hard for the government, and even from time to time carrying the black pot for the main official, and spending their lives is nothing more than wanting to use the job of a low-level junior official as a springboard, and finally enter the official career and become an official in the official system.

Therefore, the process of becoming an official in the nine grades of the official system through a certain opportunity from low-level officials such as county officials, miscellaneous officials, and small officials with knives and pens is also called variegated inflow.

Of course, there are many officials in the world, and the number of officials with titles is extremely precious, so the chance of this kind of variegated entry is very small, so nine out of nine of the officials spend their lives in the position of the officials.

Just as Cui Geng ridiculed Song Wen in public at the door of Zhouxifang's wine shop that day: "You are just a Cao Xu official, how can you be, what qualifications do you have to open your mouth and close your mouth to claim to be your own official?" ”

This was not only a naked slap in Song Wen's face in front of everyone, but also a sting of the wound that Song Wen had hidden in his heart for a long time.

"If Lao Tzu can enter the stream with variegated colors, how dare Cui Geng dare to bully me like this?"

This was the only thought in Song Wen's heart when he turned around and left when he was humiliated in Zhouxifang.

When this longing and desire was mentioned by Hu Zeyi, and the other party even told him that it could become a reality, how could Song Wen not be excited, not excited, and not cry on the ground?

"What is the opportunity, I hope Dong Weng will teach me!"

Song Wen used all his strength to earnestly roar out this sentence that had been dormant in his heart for a long time.

Hearing this, Hu Zeyi slowly turned around, looked down at Song Wen, who was kneeling at his feet, trembling with excitement, and stared for a moment, he enjoyed this feeling very much, this feeling of controlling the future and destiny of others.

While staring, Hu Zeyi couldn't help but think, maybe this is the insurmountable gap between the master and the slave, the top and the bottom, the officials and the officials.

After enjoying this short but very sour feeling, he gently helped the staff member, who was ten years older than him, and scolded in a slightly angry tone: "Song Wen, do you still need such politeness in the relationship between you and me for so many years? Hurry up! ”

When he picked up Song Wen, who was still trembling in a state of excitement, he said: "You are smart on weekdays, why are you so blind today?" Do you think, if this Mulan Spring Wine is selected as the imperial tribute wine of the imperial court, Cui Erlang and Dong Yan's contributions are indispensable, then it is not false that Cui's Liquor Workshop can become the imperial winery, but how can Qingyuan County, which is rich in Mulan Spring Wine, be ignored by the imperial court for no reason? This official also asks you, among the ten provinces and hundreds of states and thousands of counties in my Datang Dynasty, what are the counties? ”

Song Wen hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Since Li Tang took the Sui dynasty, since Emperor Gaozu opened the national dynasty, Datang County has been divided into seven grades, namely Chi, Ji, Wang, Tight, Upper, Middle, and Lower Seven. The county where the imperial capital is located is Chi County. Today's imperial capital is Xijing, with jurisdiction over Chang'an and Wannian counties; The first capital is Tokyo, with jurisdiction over Luoyang and Henan counties; the second is Beijing, which governs Taiyuan and Jinyang counties; These six counties are all called Chi County, also known as Jing County. The other 82 subordinate counties of Jingzhao Prefecture, Henan Prefecture and Taiyuan Prefecture, where the imperial capital and accompanying capital are located, are called Qi County. All counties other than Chi and Gi are divided into five categories: Wang, Tight, Upper, Middle, and Lower, based on the number of household registrations and the beauty and disadvantage of the land. ”

Similarly, the more than 1,000 counties in the Tang Dynasty were also divided into grades, except for those with special political significance and special geographical location, other counties across the country were divided into grades according to the number of household registrations in the county and the advantages and disadvantages of the geographical environment.

The beauty and disadvantage of capital and land in Song Wen's mouth refers to the advantages and disadvantages of the geographical environment.

"Yes!"

Hu Zeyi nodded slightly, and said, "This official asks you again, what kind of county is our Qingyuan County located in?" ”

Song Wen was naturally no stranger, and said quickly: "Qingyuan County has less than 2,000 households under its jurisdiction, and it is located in a corner of southern Fujian. ”

Hu Zeyi asked again: "How many products is this county magistrate?" ”

Song Wen was a little confused by Hu Zeyi, but he still bowed his head and replied: "Dong Weng's official rank is from the Qipin Chaosanlang, and he is appointed as the county commander of Qingyuan County!" ”

"Then have you ever heard that the county where the eight royal tribute wineries of the imperial court are located is a medium county?" Hu Zeyi asked again.

Buzz!

Song Wen's head suddenly brightened, and he finally understood what Dong Weng really meant by asking him again and again.

Yes, which county is not Wang County, which county is not Wangxian County, Tight County? Again, it's a first-class county!

He seemed to understand the meaning of Hu Zeyi's words, and asked: "Dong Weng means that once Mulan Spring Wine is selected as the imperial tribute wine, then our Qingyuan County will at least be promoted to a superior county by the imperial court?" ”

Although Hu Zeyi's expression was serious, there was a smile in his eyes, and his tone was much gentler, and he said: "That's natural, if Mulan Spring Wine is selected as the royal tribute wine, then according to the convention, Qingyuan County will definitely be promoted to a first-class county." Qingyuan has produced imperial wine, and Qingyuan County has been promoted to a first-class county, so is the official of Qingyuan County a county order with meritorious governance and outstanding political achievements? According to the etiquette system, the high-class county and county orders can be awarded the rank of the seventh-grade court, and even the sixth-grade Fengyi Lang, there is no lack of opportunities! Hehe, at that time, as soon as the official's term of office in Qingyuan expires, you say, from the county order of Liupin, how should the imperial court settle it? I'm afraid that being promoted to the imperial capital is not a dream, hahaha...... I didn't expect that I, Dong Yan, would be arrogant, and I would help my official when I was coming, hahaha...... Song Wen, do you think this is a bad thing turned into a good thing? ”

Listening to Hu Zeyi's analysis, Song Wen's face was moved, yes, after such a calculation, Dong Weng really picked up a big bargain, Dong Yan and Cui Erlang, the two stupid donkeys, really gave Dong Weng a lot of wealth for nothing!

But......

The corners of Song Wen's mouth couldn't help twitching, and he said with some unhappiness in his heart, you are picking up a bargain, but what does it matter to me? No matter how high the tide is, how can you be a blessing in disguise, but I am still a Xu official, it is amazing to become a positive seventh grade, no, from the sixth grade to the confidant of the county order~

Thinking of this, Song Wen was depressed again......

Hu Zeyi seemed to see through Song Wen's careful thinking, secretly scolded a fool, and then reminded in a low voice: "Song Wen, why do you say that our Qingyuan County only has the post of county governor under the county order, and does not have a county lieutenant?" ”

"Qingyuan County is a middle county, so there is no post of county lieutenant. Only the counties of Shang, Jin, Wang, and Gyeonggi have county governors......"

Song Wen said as he spoke, suddenly understood, and couldn't hide his excitement and shouted: "Dong Weng, the student understands and understands, what Dong Weng said before is that the student has a chance, a chance to become a county in Qingyuan County... County... Officer??? ”

Song Wen couldn't say anything excitedly.

The county lieutenant, who is the same as the county magistrate, is in charge of the county's public security and theft, and is a real official with good character and order, rather than a miscellaneous official. If Cui Geng was present, listening to the word county lieutenant, he would definitely say that if this county lieutenant was placed in that absurd dream, he would be the real director of the public security bureau in charge of the security of a county!

Hu Zeyi sighed and said: "You are originally a scholar and have talent in your chest, but you failed in the scientific examination and did not enter the official career." But you have followed this official for many years, served the imperial court for many years, and worked diligently in the appointment of the household officials in Qingyuan County, so it should not be difficult for you to enter the stream. Once Qingyuan County is promoted to a first-class county, the post of county lieutenant will definitely be vacated. At that time, with the recommendation of this official, hehe, who do you think in the entire Qingyuan County can compete with you for the position of county lieutenant? ”

Poof!

Song Wenzhi knelt on his knees again and cried: "Dong Weng is really the reborn parent of the student!" If the student can really enter the stream and have the honor to become the lieutenant of Qingyuan County, the student is still the slave of Dong Weng, and this life is also the only Dong Weng horse! ”

This is Song Wen's allegiance and expression!

And this is what Hu Zeyi is happy to see, he doesn't want to help a white-eyed wolf into the stream, and help a Xu official who doesn't listen to his words to become an official.

However, this time Hu Zeyi did not rush to help him up, but only sighed lightly, and continued to look at this staff member who was still kneeling at his feet and crying in his fifties, slowly enjoying the pleasure brought by this power.

……

……

Ten days later, Dong Yan, who was half by water and half by land, and who was in a hurry day and night, finally entered the Mingde Gate smoothly and arrived at the imperial capital Chang'an.

Dong Yan didn't care about admiring the grandeur of Chang'an City and the prosperity of Chang'an Street, but while leading the mule cart loaded with Mulan spring wine, he was like a mountain village wild man rushing to the market, speaking with a strong Hokkien accent, and inquired about the specific location of Shengpingfang all the way.

Because his mentor Zhang Cambodia had told him in a correspondence that his home was in Shengpingfang.
