Mysterious World, I Can Change My Destiny

At every moment, the twilight is dark, and the lights are lit.

Ji Yuan took a shower and changed clothes, changed into a black uniform, and walked out of the county office refreshed.

Several guards have been waiting for a long time, ready a soft bridge, and respectfully invite the young hundred households of the Beizhen Fusi.

"No need, just someone to lead the way."

Ji Yuan waved his hand and refused, intending to walk over.

Huangliang County is not big, it is inferior to Wannian County at the foot of Tianjing.

You know, replace it with the latter.

Those deeply rooted local gentry, what Hu family, Yu family.

When they saw the "little officials" of the sixth or seventh rank, they would not take it seriously at all.

Only a powerful character who can go to court, hold the fourth or fifth rank, and hold real power will receive the awe he deserves.

But here, the magistrate from the sixth grade is already a great figure!

Not to mention, the hundred households of the sixth grade of Fusi in Beizhen!

It is simply in charge of life and death, taking whatever you want!

It's just right, those fast catchers and errands who are worthy of internal training.

When facing Ji Yuan, he didn't even dare to breathe.

I'm afraid that something is not done well and annoys this Hundred Household Lord from Tianjing!

"This Ji Baihu doesn't look like he's very old, he's not yet crowned, right?"

"Head Wang said that they are already in the realm of blood exchange!"

"I'll be darling, did you start practicing from your mother's womb?"

"It's no wonder that he became a sixth-rank official at such a young age, and is on an equal footing with our county magistrate!"

"You idiot! Ji Baihu is a capital official! And he is an official in Beizhen Fusi, bigger than the magistrate!"

"..."

Ji Yuan's five senses are so sharp, even if he walks a hundred steps away.

His ears moved slightly, still capturing the whispers of the officers.

He smiled, Jing Chao's officialdom also paid attention to the distinction between a Beijing official and a local official.

The former seems to be more noble, because it is at the center, and there are many opportunities to contact the princes, ministers, and six major officials.

Sometimes, seize the opportunity to cling to a certain portal, a certain backer.

It's not surprising that the carp leaped over the Dragon Gate suddenly and jumped three levels a year.

Therefore, like the children of an aristocratic family, the generals are honored.

The best way to get promoted is to become a Beijing official first, and strive to be in the sight of the East Palace, the Cabinet, and the Sixth Department.

Work hard for a few years and earn some credit.

Then transfer to another place, and get a real shortage of financial power and military power.

Wait until you return to the center, at least enter the sixth department, and the official residence is the third rank.

Of course, it would be different if one came from a poor family and became a Beijing official.

First of all, the life is hard, the salary is low, and the house is expensive.

In addition, there are various entertainments and exchanges of courtesy, which can be said to be shy.

The local officials are on the contrary. Although it is difficult to survive in this life, because the sky is high and the emperor is far away, they are not so restrained in doing things.

Even the lowest-level subordinates, as long as the means are hard and the access is wide, the stone can squeeze out two liang of oil.

Not to mention Shangguan, who is in charge of the ruling party, so there is a saying that "three years of Qingzhi County, one hundred thousand snowflakes of silver".

"Wait for me to patrol in the future, I don't know what the scene will be."

Ji Yuan walked slowly on the long street after holding both hands.

It is actually the same principle for the imperial court to be an official and to wander in the arena.

Aside from personal strength as a foundation, backing, background, and wealth are also very important.

"Master Ji, Ji, Donglai Pavilion is here."

The young officer who led the way stammered, his face flushed, and he looked quite excited.

In the county government office, he was neither an official nor an official.

It is a kind of corvée, with no rank to speak of.

An unknown person like him now sees the famous leader on the Jinghua list of the famous palace.

In the future, drinking and chatting with people can make a little more money to brag!

"Thank you."

Ji Yuan was very kind and raised his hand to give out a broken silver ingot.

"Trouble my little brother, go find a clean place, and prepare a few tables of wine and food for the tiqi under this official's command.

Remember, the wine must be given enough, and the meat must be managed enough. "

The young officer nodded again and again, patted his chest and replied:

"I definitely don't dare to be slighted!"

A look of envy appeared on his face, whether it was in Tianjing, or somewhere.

It is rare for Shangguan to be generous and considerate to his subordinates.

After entering the Donglai Pavilion, the guy at the door was also very discerning, and immediately led the calm young man upstairs.

The county magistrate, Kong Yuan, didn't make a move, so he booked a restaurant and only reserved a first-class private room.

In addition to the two who were the host and the banquet, there were several other people to accompany him.

When Ji Yuan entered the door, they exchanged a few greetings.

Everyone began to change the cups, and the atmosphere gradually became warm.

"Your Majesty, Ji heard that there is a strange stone on Xiaocang Mountain in Huangliang County?"

Ji Yuan drank a few glasses of mellow rice wine, and ate a few bites of the local specialty yellow rice, Dan Dan asked.

"Uh...that's what happened.

According to the old man, the strange stone has a history of hundreds of years, and it fell on Xiaocang Mountain during the Daye Dynasty.

yawenba

According to legend, it was the Bodhisattva who squeezed the clay figures, and one of them accidentally fell into the mortal world and became this stone. "

Kong Yuan paused as he raised his glass, not understanding why the young hundred households brought up an irrelevant topic.

The purpose of his banquet is very simple, to form a good relationship with the other party.

After all, he is also under the gate of the East Palace and works for His Royal Highness.

Furthermore, as a magistrate, I don't have any classmates and friends who are related.

If you can make a good relationship with a young hundred households from Beizhen Fusi, it will be an additional way.

But everyone is clearly talking about the interesting stories of the court in Tianjing City, and the romantic situation.

Why did it suddenly turn to the strange stone in Xiaocang Mountain?

This Ji Baihu has not even been to the Xishan paddock of the royal family.

Can the rural scenery of Huangliang County be eye-catching?

"Dare to ask the magistrate Kong, how credible is the claim that the strange stone is efficacious for sending children?"

Ji Yuan took a quick bite of fresh water and swallowed it with the soft and delicious rice.

"Ah... this, it's not easy to say it outright.

My generation of Confucian students is silent and strange.

There is such a thing as the gift of strange stones, if you believe it, you don't. "

Kong Yuan was stunned for a moment, puzzled.

He clearly remembered that the Lord Baihu didn't seem to have a wife, not even a marriage contract.

Why do you care so much about gift-giving stones?

Is it possible...

Ji Yuan took another sip of rice wine, looked around the room, and said:

"I believe everyone has heard that it is not easy for Beijing officials.

Unless you come from a wealthy family and have family support.

Otherwise, only receiving salary, Bingjing and Tanjing after a year, is enough to empty the money bag. "

Magistrate Kong raised his eyebrows slightly, his mind floating.

He has been an official for many years, and he is not stunned. He naturally understands the jargon.

The so-called "ice respect" and "charcoal respect" are a form of bribery.

The former represents cooling off in summer, and the latter represents heating in winter.

It means, every summer and winter.

Remember to be filial to your Shangguan and talk about your feelings.

Kong Yuan had heard it before, and sent the place.

If you want to prosper in your career, you must keep in mind the mantra.

Jingxin Changtong, Tanjing Changfeng!

If you can do it, you will definitely have a bright future ahead.

"What Ji Baihu said is justified, a small family with no foundation,

Even if he becomes a Beijing official, his life is still stretched, and it is not easy. "

Kong Yuan's eyes flickered, thinking about this young hundred households, does he want to reach out and scrape the silver?

I just hope that the other party doesn't want to talk too much about the lion. Although he can't talk about being a breeze, he hasn't done anything to corrupt money and pervert the law.

At most, it is to collect some donations from local wealthy households during the festival, or to buy some properties privately.

It's not a hole that is three feet high in the sky, and it's mouthful of oil.

A few hundred taels of silver were barely available.

Any more and there will be no more.

"Besides Tanjing and Bingjing, if you want to go out, there are other things to pay attention to."

Ji Yuan took his time and walked in circles like small talk.

"What's the point? Lord Baihu, come and listen, let me wait and see for a long time!"

The master bookkeeper who accompanies him is very knowledgeable, and he hurriedly held and asked.

"For example, when you enter the capital, if you want to see the Sixth Division, you must first hand over the invitation to the disciples.

There are many sayings about this. As the saying goes, there are seven officials in front of the prime minister's door.

If you are stingy with money and offend the door, you will encounter little devils in your way, and it is easy to spoil your business. "

Ji Yuan smiled and said softly:

"Do you guys know what is 'five sons'? What is it called 'one axis and one'?"

Kong Yuan shook his head and turned to look at the master bookkeeper who knew the rules of officialdom.

The latter was also puzzled and seemed to have never heard of it.

"Please also ask Baihu to clarify."

The crowd toasted.

"Just like Bingjing and Tanjing, speaking bluntly about money is a bit coppery.

'Wu Zi Deng Ke' means five taels of silver inlaid, specially designed to manage the door.

There is also "Eight Rhymes of Plum Blossom Poems", which means that there are 80 taels of treasure notes in the envelope.

The 'forty sages', that is, forty taels, are all used to ask the trustee to help deliver the prayers.

When you go to the mansion of the princes, you will often hear those gatekeepers chanting that so-and-so presents "One axis and two axes of the Hundredshou Chart".

This is not a painting, but the meaning of one hundred taels and two hundred taels.

In addition to this, there is the "One Book of Mao's Poems", which is equal to three hundred taels, and there are three hundred and five poems from the "Book of Songs" annotated by Mao.

"Yaojin Yidu" means 800 taels, referring to the 800 lords crossing Yaojin to crusade the tyrants and tyrants.

As for the 'Thousand Buddha Name Sutra', it is even more incredible, it is a thousand taels of great generosity. "

Everyone was stunned when they heard it, and they all felt that being a Beijing official was different.

There are so many complicated names for accepting bribes.

"Let's go back to the strange stone in Xiaocang Mountain, I heard from the officer of the county government,

There are many newlyweds in Huangliang County. When they burn incense and worship Buddha, they will touch two of them to get some spirits.

After returning home, children will be born soon.

Can it be true? "

Ji Yuan asked casually.

"It does have its customs, but ... it's not every Turin.

According to the opinion of the lower officials, most of the rumors of gifting children with strange stones are affiliated with piercing and chiseling, which cannot be taken seriously. "

Kong Yuan considered the sentence carefully and answered truthfully.

"So that's it. Magistrate Kong, you don't know something,

Ji's Shangguan and Mr. Ao of Beizhen Fusi have been married for many years.

He never had a child, and suffered from a heart disease.

Forget it, forget about it, come on, keep drinking. "

Ji Yuan heard the words, shook his head, and seemed to feel sorry.

Kong Yuan raised his wine glass thoughtfully.

This banquet, eating and drinking until halfway through the Hai Shi, just ended.

It can be said that the host and guests enjoyed themselves.

Kong Yuan, who seemed to be drunk, saw Ji Yuan's figure disappearing on the long street.

His wobbly body stood up straight away.

The master next to him, who supported him, asked in a low voice:

"Lord Xianzun, listening to this Ji Baihu, shouldn't we also send some charcoal?

Get together and get a second axis of a hundred years of life, there should be no problem. "

There was no drunkenness in Kong Yuan's eyes, the light in his eyes turned several times, and the lightly frowned brows stretched out, and said:

"This Ji Baihu may not be asking for money.

He deliberately mentioned the various forms of bribery in the officialdom in Tianjin, but it was actually the drunkard's intention not to drink.

You asked Wang Zhaotou to mobilize more than a dozen powerful players to go to Xiaocang Mountain overnight to dig out that strange stone.

Master Liu, you don't understand, I, the magistrate of Huangliang, have to pay filial piety to see the six hundred households from Tianjing.

This Ji Baihu returned to the Beizhen Fusi, shouldn't he express his words to Qianhu and the commander?

That broken stone can be worth a thousand taels of snowflake silver! "

The master came to a sudden realization and flattered:

"It's still the county magistrate who sees it thoroughly!"

Kong Yuan was a little disappointed, shook his head and sighed:

"Da Jing established the country only a year old, how did it become like this?

The upper and the lower are effective, those princes, nobles, and nobles, all of them are like this.

The official atmosphere naturally erodes quickly..."

The master's face changed, and he said anxiously:

"Be careful! The county magistrate is careful!"

Kong Yuan smiled wryly, seemingly helpless:

"That's it, it's okay, I'm a small magistrate, so I'm worried about what to do.

Hearing that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is determined to rectify the administration of officials, he sincerely hopes to see results.

Rather than a lot of thunder and little rain, it's perfunctory.

If the imperial court in Tianjin is a little rotten, the grand scene will be rotten! "

The master pursed his lips, and finally couldn't help but say:

"Difficult, difficult, difficult! The nine sides are powerful, the generals are arrogant, and several princes of the country seem to have resigned from office, but their disciples and former officials are all over the army.

If His Highness the Prince wants to cut off the carrion and get rid of the stubborn disease, he must have a sharp knife! "

Kong Yuan glanced down at the patch in the official robe, and said after a while:

"Go dig the rocks, hehe, unexpectedly, someone from Kong also bowed his head and offered a bribe one day!"
