With a chuckle in his heart, Qin Xia looked empathetic, and said: "It's difficult to survive in the countryside, otherwise who will leave their hometown." The students are better off than those homeless, and they have learned some abacus after failing to achieve fame. The elders tried their best to entrust a big man in Beijing to help introduce a job to the household department as an official. It's just that the love has run out, and I don't know if I went to the household department to get this post, can it help? ”

As he spoke, Qin Xia took out the post and showed it to Yan Lu: "Yan Fang is well-informed, can you take a look?" ”

Cao Huayu, the governor of the left capital of the five armies.

Hiss......

Yan Lu gasped, his expression was sluggish for a while, and he instantly remembered the Wuqing Wang Qingtuo written on the road, isn't that Cao Huachun's hometown!

actually went through such a big file in the palace, although it was a former big file who returned to his hometown, but Cao Huachun is not Wei Zhongxian, Chongzhen is still in power, and Cao Huachun's political successor Wang Chengen is also popular, this post is full of gold!

"Brother Qin'er is really not visible, where can I go with this post?" Yan Lu's smile instantly bloomed, and he said to Qin Xia: "Among the six departments, the most oily and watery is the household department. Moreover, for a Xu official, this is a beauty shortage that is not changed for a man! Our Da Ming Xu officials can be passed on from father to son, and inherited by their descendants. This wealth is earned, and it is not exchanged for a thousand gold. Little Brother Qin, how old am I to you, if you don't dislike it, you will change to a certain Brother Yan, and the province will be born. If you can't find a satisfactory place to live today, you can go to my place first. When you find a place to live in the future, I'll help you organize the banquet!" ”

Yan Lu showed favor one after another, and Qin Xia thanked him: "Brother Yan is so tired, Qin Xia can't help it." ”

"A little thing, worth something." Yan Lu patted his chest and said, "There is still something that needs Yan's help, just say it." ”

When Qin Xia heard this, he said embarrassedly: "There are indeed some things to bother Brother Yan. ”

Yan Lu was stunned for a moment, coughed lightly, and said stiffly: "Little Brother Qin, please talk about it." ”

Qin Xia said: "The students want to find a few skilled craftsmen to make some things, so that they can be sent to the nobles for a celebration." Otherwise, if there is no contact with this relationship, I am afraid that the job will not be guaranteed! ”

Yan Lu laughed, and her heart relaxed. There are countless skilled craftsmen in Beijing, especially the influx of refugees, and I don't know how many craftsmen who are hiding their unique skills are starving to death and can't find a job to do. This kind of job offer is not a problem at all. He Yan Lu is a native of Beijing and has a wide range of contacts, so it is really easy to find some skilled craftsmen as long as he pays attention to it.

Yan Lu nodded one after another, and said solemnly: "The little brother is smart-hearted, this human relationship, it is only when there is a relationship that there is human affection." I'm going to hire these craftsmen for you. It's just to find an object created by a skilled craftsman, which can impress such a noble person, and the cost is not small. ”

"Students count." Qin Xia thanked him.

Yan Lu bowed his head: "Then Yan will rest assured, what kind of craftsman does Little Brother Qin need, make a list, and I will help you find it." ”

"Carpenters, blacksmiths, silversmiths. In particular, please pay attention to Brother Yan, if you can do a guide car, please pay more attention. After speaking, Yan Lu took out a piece of paper from his arms and said, "This gear thing, what can be done, the student is willing to pay five taels of monthly money!" It seems that such a skilled person can find one, and the student is also willing to pay one or two silver to eat tea with Brother Yan, the more the merrier. ”

One tael of silver is about 700 yuan in later generations, and the monthly salary of five taels is nearly 3,550 months. This year, it doesn't cost much money to eat and wear, five taels can leave four taels, as long as you can take it, it is a middle-class home!

One or two, find twenty, isn't it twenty taels? In these years, an acre of fertile land is only three or five taels of silver!

Yan Lu's heart was hot, and he nodded one after another: "Save it, I remember it, I must have done a good job for Brother Qin!" ”

Qin Xia smiled, said a few more polite words, and saw Si En come back after looking for a house.

Si En's ability to do things is very good, and he found a clean and spacious residence with a good layout after an hour and a half.

The money and goods were cleared, and I bought this set of small courtyards that cover an area of nearly one acre, two before and after, and seven houses, and only used seventy-nine taels of silver, which still counted the intermediary fees and some furniture that was not very valuable to the original owner.

Seventy-nine taels of silver, converted to 50,000 soft sister coins in later generations. This bought a house of more than 600 square meters in the future, and it was still in the clarification workshop close to the imperial city, which made Qin Xia sigh in his heart that the crossing was awesome. You know, this is the location of the second ring!

Sighing casually, Qin Xia began to decorate the home, and settled it in the evening.

At this time, Qin Xia took out a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and began to paint, and did not fall asleep until late at night.

Nothing was said all night.

Early the next morning, Qin Xia took Cao Huayu's handwritten letter to the Yunji Mansion in the south of Yunnan Shilang, the Ministry of Households. After throwing a pen sticker, the porter drank tea by himself and went to recuperate, leaving Qin Xia here and letting Qin Xia be in a daze.

If Si En saw this scene, he would have to be furious, the dignified prince was so ignored by a small porter, it was simply a monarch!

Qin Xia was very calm about this scene, Nanyun Ji really wanted to come to the salute with great fanfare, and the next day the imperial prince Zhu Cihong pretended to be a small official and was troubled could spread all over the city.

After waiting for a quarter of an hour, Qin Xia was taken into Nanyunji's study by a small servant.

Nan Yunji was splashing ink, apparently making a landscape painting. He just glanced at Qin Xia and waved his hand in annoyance. "A dignified scholar actually went to work for a servant! Read the books of the sages in vain, take your tooth tag and your coat and hat, and go! ”

It's just less than ten breaths.

Holding his coat and hat, Qin Xia sneered: "Sages and scholars can't strengthen the country, and literature can't enrich the people." It's too hard to wipe your buttocks, the clear stream is misleading the country, and it's useless to be sour. ”

Cleaning up his mood, Qin Xia took a deep breath, touched the tooth tag and black official uniform of the Yunnan division of the household department, and looked resolute.

Tobe, I'm coming!

The center of the Ming Dynasty is Beijing, the center of Beijing is the Forbidden City, and the center of the Forbidden City has two, one is the Qianqing Palace where the emperor is located, and the other is the public house outside the Chengtian Gate.

There are almost all the core departments of the Ming Dynasty, the six departments of the Ministry of Household Rites and Criminal Works, the Middle Soldiers and Horses, the Dali Temple and the Five Military Governor's Mansion, the Zongren Mansion, the Honglu Temple and so on are all here.

From the heel of the imperial city to the south, the first one is the Zongren Mansion, the next is the Ministry of Officials, and then there is the Ministry of Household that Qin Xia is going to this time.

Qin Xia, who was wearing a black scarf uniform, couldn't walk as soon as he arrived at the household.

The old man Zhang Qi took Qin Xia's tooth brand and looked at it carefully, and stared at Qin Xia's face, but he didn't let it in. Qin Xia stretched out his hand and took out the silver, but Menzi rarely refused to accept it.
