Chapter 175: Buying an Official

Yang Ze and Mao Wen'an also saw Yuwen Wuluo, the two frowned at the same time, Mao Wen'an came to Yang Ze's side, and whispered: "Look at it like this, Yuwen Lao'er is leaving Beijing, this is a big move, but because of the reason for the scandal in his family?" ”

He is a middle-aged man, he has always been idle, he likes to inquire about other people's affairs, he knows that something happened to Yuwen's family, but he doesn't know that Yuwen Wuluo was demoted to Xiangzhou, and his news is not so well-informed.

Yang Ze could guess that Yuwen Wuluo was disgusted by Empress Dugu, and it may have been repaired, but he didn't expect that he was demoted to Xiangzhou. After listening to Mao Qian'an's words, he shook his head and said, "I don't know, Xia Guan doesn't know much about the affairs of the Yuwen family, so it's better to ask others!" ”

Mao asked for an an, looked at Yuwen Wuluo, pursed his lips, and said: "He offended the eldest princess, can he still have a good end, according to me, he should have been unlucky, and he has been delayed until now, he has earned it, and he has lived a comfortable life for many years." ”

Yang Ze glanced at him and said, "Don't say it, Master Yuwen is afraid that he will be in trouble, even if we can't help, we shouldn't arrange him behind his back." ”

Mao Wen'an snorted and said with a smile: "You still want to help him?" No kidding! ”

The two of them were talking quietly here, but in the eyes of Yuwen Wuluo over there, it became a whisper, especially when Mao Wen'an laughed, which made Yuwen Wuluo think that the two were laughing at him. In fact, he really didn't guess wrong, at least half of it was right, Mao Wen'an was laughing at him, but the two of them laughed together, Yang Ze didn't say anything bad about him.

This has to be put in the past, Yuwen Wuluo, as a member of the third grade, does not have to be afraid of Yang Ze, let alone Mao Wen'an, who is middle-aged, if he feels that the two are laughing at him, he has to step forward and reprimand loudly. However. Now he didn't dare to go up directly, don't say Mao Qian'an's identity as a concubine, even if it is Yang Ze, a fifth-grade official, it is much bigger than him, a small county commander!

Yuwen Wuluo remembered that the reason why Yang Ze was able to become the Shaoqing of Dali Temple was because of Mao Wen'an's recommendation, and Yang Ze just went to Dali Temple, and the first case was to harm his Yuwen family, he and Yang Ze had no grievances, could it be that Yang Ze had such a case-handling method. Was it supported by Mao Qi'an? Behind Mao Wen'an is Princess Yong'an, has he offended Princess Yong'an?

Yuwen Wuluo's thoughts turned sharply in his heart, and suddenly, he remembered that Princess Yong'an had indeed come to him and wanted to do a big business with him, but this business was against the laws of the imperial court, and if it was found out, it would be a raid. Moreover, this business will be a prison and a yamen can't do it, and it has to be combined with the Ministry of Industry, although the profit is huge, but the risk is also terrifying. At that time, he didn't agree, could it be that because he rejected Princess Yong'an, Princess Yong'an took revenge?

The more he thought about it, the more it was like this, Yuwen Wuluo gritted his teeth. Since you are unkind, then don't blame me for being unjust, it's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years. If you want to take revenge on Princess Yong'an, you don't have to wait for ten years, that big business hasn't been done yet, but once it's done, as long as you report it yourself, no one can protect Princess Yong'an, and Empress Dugu has to be angry, even if it's her own daughter, she will also repair it fiercely!

Yuwen Wuluo made up his mind, after he left the city, he immediately wrote a letter of denunciation, found a reliable person to collect, and when Princess Yong'an started to do that big business, he sent the letter to the empress.

Yuwen's car did not stop, rushing down the street to the city gate, Yuwen Wuluo nodded at Yang Ze and Mao Wen'an when he passed by, it was regarded as a greeting, and there was no conflict.

Yang Zemu sent Yuwen Wu away slightly, and couldn't help but sigh: "I really didn't expect that this would be the result, I don't know where Lord Yuwen is going!" ”

Mao asked An and said, "Where do you want to go, what does it have to do with us, Lord Yang doesn't have to worry about this idleness." ”

Yang Ze hehehe

Mao Wen'an asked Yang Ze what he was doing here, and when he learned that Yang Ze was going to eat at the restaurant, he warmly invited Yang Ze and wanted to go to the restaurant to invite Yang Ze to drink, Yang Ze gladly agreed, and he also wanted to ask Mao Wen'an about something.

After finding a big restaurant, entering the private seat, and finishing the dishes, Yang Ze asked: "Mao Duwei, I don't know what Her Royal Highness the princess has been doing to make a fortune recently, I have a few acquaintances who want to enter the officialdom, I wonder if Your Highness can help?" ”

Mao Wen'an is a concubine, and his official position is the lieutenant of the concubine, this is an idle errand, without any real power, just a little white-faced son-in-law raised by the royal family, if you want to say that people with a little power, they can only be generous princesses. Yang Ze felt that the yamen of Dali Temple was too strange, if Fu Bingrong and them also went in to be officials, it would be a bit unacceptable, it would be better to cast a wide net and enter a few more yamen, so that it would be more convenient to do things in the future.

Mao asked An Cao very much, Yang Ze only asked, he missed the bottom, and asked happily: "What, Lord Yang wants to connect people and buy an official?" ”

Yang Ze said with a smile: "I have such an idea, but I can't find a way, if there is a way, it's easy to talk about money." ”

Mao Wen'an likes to listen to money, and he said happily: "If money is easy to say, then I have no shortage of official positions here, but they are all petty officials, and they are the kind that are not sent, if you want to be sent, you have to pay another money." ”

The officials of the Dafang Empire, the official position is an official position, and the dispatch is a dispatch, for example, the seven-rank official, some of the seven-rank officials are just named in a certain yamen, for example, a doctor in a certain department, and even a person who doesn't even recognize a medicinal herb, can be a doctor of medicine in the Tai Hospital, but he will not really treat people, nor will he receive a salary, just have an official's farewell; But with a dispatch, it's different, for example, if there is a vacancy in an official position somewhere, such as a county officer, then this seven-grade official can take the initiative to ask to be a county official, this is a dispatch, although the grade has declined, but he has real power, can receive money, and go to the local area to make extra money!

In the previous dynasty, the official position and the dispatch were corresponding, the number of officials was not much, but after the empress became the dynasty, there were more and more officials, and there were more officials and fewer dispatches, and this dispatch was more important than the official position.

Yang Ze asked: "So, how much does an official position from the fifth rank get?" ”

Mao Wen'an was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "How is this possible, how can you buy and sell such an official position as a five-grade official, you think you have achieved the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and you are also a five-grade official position, but an official like Shaoqing of Dali Temple, you want to buy it, how can you buy it, that is to be appointed by the emperor, I am at most a baoju, you have to have the ability to be promoted, the emperor has heard of you in advance." ”

Yang Ze said: "How many products can you buy?" ”

Mao Wen'an thought for a while and said: "If you buy it from me, the highest is the ninth grade, but if you want to buy the eighth grade, but in that case, I will have to come from others to have a quota, which will cost more money, so let's put it this way, you can get the eight thousand guan of the ninth grade, and the eight thousand guan will be doubled, and it will cost sixteen thousand guan...... Above! ”

Yang Ze was taken aback and shouted: "This is too expensive, a nine-grade official, who is still not sent, will cost 8,000 guan, who can afford this!" "He didn't say a word, what is the difference between this and a robbery, this is more ruthless than a robber!

"Be quiet, be quiet, don't be excited!" Mao Wen'an hurriedly explained.

Of course, what he can operate is mainly the official position of the Ministry of Industry, Qi Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry has a good relationship with Princess Yong'an, and the nine rank officials of the Sixth Ministry are of course valuable, but if you want to be cheap, for example, the official position in other states in Gyeonggi Province is much cheaper, and it can be solved by three or four thousand guan, and if you are named in a state or county outside Gyeonggi Province, it will be even cheaper, and a thousand guan will be about the same.

After explaining, Mao Wen'an said: "The so-called penny is worth a penny, the price is high, the benefits of high price, you can easily get sent, if you buy an official cheaply, you may not be sent for a lifetime, and you will not be able to return to the original, maybe you can only die after carving a line of words on the tombstone, saying that you have been a few officials, and the glory will be shown to future generations, but this kind of glory, Lord Yang, you will not be rare!" ”

Yang Ze said hesitantly: "Of course it's not uncommon, what's the difference between this and not being an official!" After thinking for a moment, he said: "In terms of money, I really don't have a lot of money here, I don't hide it, I have three apprentices, they all want to be Beijing officials, get ahead, of course, the bigger the official, the better, but if I make them all from the eighth grade of the official, then I have to spend at least 48,000 yuan, maybe 50,000 yuan, such a large amount of money, I can't take it out anyway, can you get a discount, cheaper?" ”

He thought to himself that if the cost of buying an official was so large, it would be better to get the three apprentices into the Dali Temple, so that it would not cost money, or spend less money.

Mao Wen'an's eyes rolled, and he pondered in his heart, if these three people were named in the Ministry of Industry, although it would take a little effort, it would not be impossible, but Yang Ze would definitely not be able to take out tens of thousands of dollars, he was just asking for the price just now, but he didn't expect Yang Ze to not pay back the money, so it seems that he is quite rich.
