A trip starting from the courtyard

Chapter 200 Eighth Rank Official

Yue Buqun said to Linghu Chong:

"Even if Yu Renyan from the Qingcheng faction speaks rudely first, then you don't need to smash all the other's teeth, and let Dayou's bastard urinate on his face."

Speaking of this, Yue Buqun tilted his head and reprimanded Lu Lu:

"Dayou, Chong'er drank too much, let your beast piss on the face, not only did you not stop it, you actually took it."

Yue Lingshan, who was standing aside and sulking, suddenly heard what her father said, and immediately thought of the scene at that time, and suddenly felt that it was really funny, and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Seeing all the seniors turn their heads to look at her, Yue Lingshan knew that the situation was not good, so she hurriedly hid behind her mother Ning Zhongze.

Yue Buqun shook his head in his heart, but this time he didn't reprimand again, he just made up his mind secretly.

I really need my junior sister to teach Shan'er well, otherwise when I get married, I will definitely suffer a lot with this temper.

Seeing that Liu Hou'er was involved by him, Linghu Chong hurriedly said:

"This matter has nothing to do with the sixth brother, it's because I drank too much, so."

"Humph!"

Although he knew that Linghu Chong was making excuses, Yue Buqun was still very pleased with his responsibility as a big brother who was able to protect his junior brother.

Ning Zhong saw that his senior brother didn't really mean to go deeper, so he said to Linghu Chong and Lu Dayou:

"Chong'er, Dayou, don't admit your mistake to your master."

Lu Dayou hurriedly said to his master, "I know I was wrong, please punish me, master."

At this time Linghu Chong also followed and said: "I know my mistake, please punish me, Master."

Yue Buqun said:

"Seeing that the cause of this conflict is to protect the reputation of our faction, Chong'er was punished with twenty sticks, ten sticks at most, do you two disagree?"

The two hurriedly shook their heads and said:

"The disciple respectfully accepts the punishment."

Isn't it just a few sticks, and you can go out in a day or two at most.

After all the disciples had dispersed, Yue Buqun said to his wife:
"Junior Sister, in recent years, during the Spring and Autumn Festivals, the Fuwei Escort always prepares generous gifts and sends people to Huashan.

So I would like to invite the head of the Fuwei Escort to come to Huashan and talk about their opening of a branch in Qin Province. "

Ning Zhong frowned and said:

"How about the Guangshun Escort Bureau? For more than ten years, they have been very respectful to my Huashan faction. If it gets out, my faction's reputation will be damaged."

Hearing about Guangshun Escort, Yue Buqun's face turned dark immediately:
"Junior Sister, do you know how much the annual gift from the Guangshun Escort Bureau is this year?"

Ning Zhong shook his head, although she took care of many things of the Huashan School, but Yue Buqun was mainly responsible for the external affairs.

"500 taels. A few years ago it was 1000 taels. When I first took over as the head, their Escort Bureau's annual gift was 5000 taels."

"Too much deceit! Brother, why didn't you tell me about this earlier?"

Yue Buqun waved his hands and said:

"It's not a big deal, so I haven't told my junior sister.

But this time, agreeing to the Fuwei Escort Bureau to open a branch in our Qin Province will inevitably cause some people to misunderstand. When someone asks about the junior sister, you can explain a thing or two. "

Although Ning Zhong was very angry, he thought that the main reason for this was their Huashan faction.

In recent years, their Huashan faction has declined greatly, and their deterrent power is not as good as before.

"Brother, do we want to recruit a few more disciples next year?"

Beitai Island

As soon as Zhao Ligong's boat docked at the pier, several villagers surrounded him.

"Master Zhao, are all these big men behind you recruited from the nursing home?"

Early this morning, Master Zhao told the villagers that he wanted to ask Engong for help and hire some nurses to come back.

Everyone is in favor of this.

Yesterday's experience had terrified them.

But now the entire village is full of women, let alone another wave of Japanese pirates, even the nearby villages, if they know the situation in their villages, they will bully them.

Originally, this matter should have been arranged by the local government.

But all the officials on their island had already run away, so they had to figure out their own way.

"These are all bodyguards from the Fuwei Escort Bureau of Engong's family, and they are all very skilled.

In the next few months, they will be responsible for the safety of our village.

At that time, it will be divided into two teams, and there will be people patrolling during the day and night. "

Considering the expensive employment fee of each bodyguard, he planned to hire six people, which happened to be divided into two teams.

But after Wang Lidong's mother, Mrs. Wang, found out about this, she waved her hand and rented one and got three free.

Zhao Ligong was not humble either, so he nodded and agreed.

At the same time, I thought, this thigh is really not in vain.

Linjiang County Government
It has been a month since Zhao Ligong came to the door last time.

I don't know if it's because the power of silver is too great, or because the efficiency of his father Lin Zhennan is too high,

Three days ago, Wang Lidong went to the magistrate's yamen and received his official seal, appointment documents, and official uniform.

The position is the county magistrate of Linjiang County, an official of the eighth rank.

He was not dissatisfied with this official position, and he did not expect to be able to buy the county magistrate.

What's more, now that the entire yamen has run away, his county magistrate is equivalent to the county magistrate.

Linjiang County is one of the three counties on Beitai Island, and Zhao Ligong's village is under the jurisdiction of Linjiang County.

After returning home from the government office that day, Wang Lidong picked up the appointment document and read it several times, but he couldn't tell whether it was true or not.

"Father, it will take at least two or three months for us to arrive in the capital. This employment document is not fake, is it?"

During the Ming Dynasty, even an eighth-rank official had to be appointed and dismissed by the Ministry of Officials in the capital.

So on the way back, the more he thought about it, the more something went wrong.

"Ping'er, we are in Rongcheng, and there are ships going to the north every day. One round trip, 20 days is enough.

What's more, whoever dares to lie will have his family ransacked and his family wiped out if he finds out. "

Lin Zhennan also told him that the current Linjiang county magistrate is running out of connections and is planning to change his post.

If the transfer is really gone, then spend some more money and try to win the position of the county magistrate.

Wang Lidong thought it would be a matter of time, and being an official is to make money.

Now the county magistrate of Linjiang County stays in the city all day, so he can still earn P money, but if he goes back to the county government, his life may be lost.

"Dad, did you spend a lot of money this time?"

Lin Zhennan stroked his beard and said with a smile:
"It's strange to say that the cost this time is really not that big.

Back and forth, Dad and I spent 8000 taels. "

Wang Lidong thought about it, and it was really not expensive.

In the 39th year of Qianlong's reign, the price tag for official posts: five-rank doctor, 9600 taels; sixth-rank official, 4620 taels; fourth-rank Taoist official, 16400 taels; fourth-rank magistrate, 13300 taels; fifth-rank official, Tongzhi, 6820 taels; The seventh-rank official of the magistrate, 4620 taels, the eighth-rank deputy of the county magistrate, 980 taels.

These are all fake jobs, just a nice name.

But what Wang Lidong is buying now is a real-time job and a scarce commodity.

In order to make Wang Lidong, a rookie in the officialdom, a good official.

Lin Zhennan asked for connections again, and spent a lot of money to help him find three masters.

Wang Lidong also found a master himself, and that person is Zhao Ligong.

After all, I don't know whether the three people my father found are reliable or not, so I feel more at ease when I have someone of my own.

Today is Wang Lidong's first day to take office in the county government. Before 7 o'clock, he left Fuwei Escort Bureau.

With more than 20 people, it took more than half an hour to finally arrive at his work place.

"Old Zhao, is this the Linjiang county government office?"

After carefully looking at it, Zhao Ligong was also a little confused, but he still nodded and said:
"Grandpa, this is the Linjiang County Government Office."

The gate of the county government is quite majestic, about four meters high and twelve or thirteen meters wide.

There are eight-character walls on both sides, and two majestic stone lions stand on the left and right.
