Wei and Jin cooks

Chapter 1384 Extra: Underworld (5)

The ghost clerk counted the money for Zhao Zhongyu, collected an expensive fee and tax according to the proportion, and handed over everything in the warehouse to him.

There are not only money, silk, various utensils, five animals, but also various sacrificial inscriptions.

The ghost housekeeper ran up and down for him, helped him buy a house, and hired a group of ghosts to move everything to the new house. Of course, it was all paid by Zhao Zhongyu.

He has money now!

Zhao Zhongyu found it very strange, "So, doesn't the currency of the underworld all come from the human world? Ghosts are also based on the human world?"

The ghost steward said: "This is now. I heard from the ghost messengers that in the past there were few ghosts staying in the underworld. They were either reincarnating or being tortured in hell. Therefore, few ghosts spent money. Only the ghost servants needed coins for human offerings and sacrifices. .”

"But the coins for ghosts are produced by the Yama Palace, and the new ghosts are somewhat enshrined and can even out the ghosts' differences, so money is not that important in the underworld."

Zhao Zhongyu understood.

His new house is not far from Zhao Changyu. It's not that he doesn't want to buy farther away, but that good houses and big houses are all in this area, so he has no choice.

During this period, many new ghosts came to the city one after another, and most of them were acquaintances of Zhao Zhongyu. In comparison, they were poor.

Although their background in the world was not bad, their reputation was not as great as that of Zhao Zhongyu, and their family members did not know whether they were dead or alive. They did not have many offerings and sacrifices, and they could not afford a big house.

Seeing that his former colleagues were in such a state of desolation, and that everyone was dead, Zhao Zhongyu finally felt soft-hearted and accepted them to live in his house like an elder brother.

During this time, Zhao Changyu had already inquired about what was happening in the world from the new ghosts, and the new ghosts he was looking for included captured Jin ministers, Zhao family soldiers who died in the battle, innocent people who were affected, and even the royal family and nobles.

He counted the time and felt that his brother should have adapted to his new identity, so he sent a ghost to call him to talk.

Zhao Zhongyu didn't want to go, so he directly said to the ghost housekeeper who came to invite him: "We are dead, our bodies are gone, and human affairs have nothing to do with us anymore, so what are we talking about?"

The ghost butler lowered his head and said: "The elder said that before you were reincarnated and reborn as a human being, you were born as a member of the Zhao family and died as a ghost of the Zhao family, and..."

He raised his head and said, "Don't you know that ghosts in the underworld can entrust dreams to relatives in the world, and can they protect their relatives in the world?"

Zhao Zhongyu: ...He doesn’t know, no one told him.

Zhao Zhongyu was lucky and went quietly.

Zhao Changyu once again took control of Zhao Zhongyu.

If Zhao Zhongyu could really not care about the Zhao family or his family, how could he die so calmly?

He chose to die, firstly, for the people of the world, and secondly, wasn't it just for the sake of Zhao Jiajun, for the Zhao family, and for his family?

Once he and the emperor are dead, the Zhao army will no longer be threatened and can fight back happily.

Huh, the Zhao family is not only his Zhao family, Zhao Hanzhang is also the granddaughter of Zhao Changyu. He doesn't care if he doesn't believe his elder brother.

Therefore, the eldest brother was much more anxious than him at this time.

Thinking of this, Zhao Zhongyu was not in a hurry and went to see Zhao Changyu slowly.

As soon as they met, Zhao Changyu said: "Sanniang conquered Shi Le, and the Jie tribe's army surrendered to her."

The words he had muttered along the way were instantly forgotten by him. Zhao Zhongyu said excitedly: "Shile surrendered and expelled the Xiongnu with Zhang. Wouldn't it be just around the corner to regain the lost territory?"

Zhao Changyu nodded and said: "So, do you think Sanniang will establish herself as emperor?"

Zhao Zhongyu stiffened and looked at Zhao Zhongyu quietly, trying to make sure he was angry, but nothing could be seen from his face.

He could only reply thoughtfully: "Probably not. Sanniang has inherited the training from the court, and I, the Zhao family, are loyal and unyielding..."

Zhao Changyu raised his eyes and glanced at him, and said lightly: "We are all dead, and our innocence has been left in the world. There is no need to talk about loyalty to the emperor and patriotism in this underworld. Here, not only the Wei Emperor, but also the Han Dynasty Emperor, although I don’t know where the First Emperor is, some of the kings from the pre-Qin period were not reincarnated, but stayed behind to become ghosts, immortals, or stranded in the underworld. If the emperors of all dynasties are put together in one place, who is not a traitor and a traitor?"

Since they are all rebellious officials and traitors, there is no need to distinguish between them.

Zhao Zhongyu choked, his heart moved, and he couldn't help but inquire: "Why are there so many ghost friends in my brother's house?"

Zhao Changyu looked sarcastic and said: "You think I am as kind-hearted as you, but I am a ghost who comes to your door and takes you in?"

Zhao Zhongyu was choked again and was speechless.

Zhao Changyu then explained: "King Yama doesn't bother to explain the existence of the underworld to us, but the ghosts, ghosts, and money in the underworld all come from the human world. Even the merits and mental abilities cultivated by ghosts, immortals and ghosts They all also need to rely on incense and sacrifices from the human world, so it can be seen that the underworld is dependent on the human world."

"The two are so closely connected. It's impossible for only the human world to affect the underworld. The underworld must also affect the human world. It's just that the underworld government doesn't announce the rules. We don't know for sure." Zhao Changyu muttered: "Over the years, I have been trying to find a way. To deliver messages to relatives in the world, so far, I can give dreams to Zhao Song and Wang, but after you come down, I find that I can also give dreams to Erlang and Zhao Ming."

Zhao Zhongyu's eyes widened, he thought of something, and said in surprise: "I, I once dreamed about my brother..."

Zhao Changyu nodded lightly, "I tried to entrust Sanniang with dreams several times, but found that it didn't work. At that time, I could only entrust you, Zhao Song and Wang with dreams."

"Besides, the better I live in the underworld, the more good deeds I do, the more innocent ghosts I protect, and the smoother my family's life in the world is." Zhao Changyu glanced at Zhao Zhongyu. He thought that Zhao Zhongyu Yu was able to achieve the position of minister so smoothly, and he also took credit for it.

If he hadn't worked diligently in the underworld, spending a lot of money to make the newly bereaved members of the Zhao family live a good life and be kind, and help so many ghosts and cultivate their moral virtues, how could he have been so successful?

However, thinking of his recent temper, Zhao Changyu did not say this, but said: "Do you think the people I took in were taken in casually?"

Zhao Zhongyu asked: "What's the difference between them?"

"They don't have any big karma, but their relatives were almost wiped out in the wars in the past few years, and only a few clan members survived," Zhao Changyu said: "Didn't Sanniang hold a talent recruitment test? I know what she wants to do, Han The imperial examination and promotion system was eventually monopolized by the powerful gentry, leaving virtuous people with no way to get ahead. Therefore, Duke Cao established the nine-level Zhongzheng system, hoping to select officials based on the large, medium, small, and medium-sized officials."

"The next fifty years can be called fair, but a hundred years later, by the time of our Jin Dynasty, the Zhongzheng system has become similar to the imperial examination system. Whether a person can become an official, and how many grades of official he can be after becoming an official, are all determined from the beginning. It’s settled, it’s dead.”

Zhao Changyu said solemnly: "For the fifth rank determined during talent selection, he can only be a fifth-rank official. If he is not a first-rank official, the clans will unite with the clans, trade interests, recommend each other, and set high rankings for the children of his family." , The higher the family status, no matter how talented and virtuous they are, they can all be judged to be high-ranking. Those with low family status will have to think of ways to even participate in the talent selection banquet. As a result, the morale will be ruined, the politics will be ruined, and the people will not be able to live."
