The trip down the mountain was another roundabout, and it was already dark before we came down. Originally, I didn't dare to sleep in the people's homes at the foot of the mountain. They were all family members of bandits, so how could I have the courage?

However, the group in the mountains could tell that Liusun and his so-called bandits were mostly ordinary people trying to make a living, hiding in the mountains and forming strongholds to protect themselves.

When I arrived, I didn't dare to drink a sip of water. When I left, Hong Dashou had already dared to drink and eat in the village.

What the village provides is very ordinary brown rice, and then pickled wild vegetables. Now that spring is growing, there are all kinds of wild leeks and wild onions in the mountains. The buds of many plants can be eaten, and even the heads of ferns can be eaten. Pinch it off and make cold salad.

There was also meat. After all, you had to live off the mountain. A pheasant weighing just over a kilogram was impossible for three people to eat. So we just drank soup. There was a lot of dried fungus in the soup, and it tasted pretty good.

As for the wine, it is the most common rice wine, which is very turbid and has a low alcohol content. But no one thinks this wine is bad, and it is not easy to get a sip of wine these days.

"The head of the canal on Wufeng Mountain looks like a figure." Hong Dashou put down his chopsticks and took a sip of the soup with a spoon.

"He has some magnanimity and is indeed a character." Lin Shangwo also agreed. He had seen many rich and powerful people in Wanshang's main store, but this was his first time dealing with such a rough hero.

Hong Dashou went down the mountain and thought about it carefully, and felt that this sixth grandson was really a man with sharp eyes and hands. He could tell at a glance that Hong Dashou, the second class member, was a member of the Wu class, but before, there was no intersection between the two, and there was no trace of them. I know where he saw the clues.

Later, he generously admitted that he cheated Jin Douji of his money without any excuse, and promised to pay back the money within a specified time limit. He did not get angry when people questioned that he might not be able to pay the money, but generously agreed to use his property to pay off the debt. .There was no fussing over trivial matters or arguing over shortcomings.

All in all, he is like a person who can accomplish great things.

"But it's a pity that he ended up being a thief and has no family background, so his life may be limited to a corner of Wufeng Mountain."

"Yes, if he had a good background, maybe he would be someone we need to look up to now."

Lin Shangwo put down the wine bowl, shook his head, and sighed deeply at today's stubborn feudal hierarchy.

"It's such a big deal, but it's just a trivial matter!" Jin Douji licked the chicken leg clean, holding the chicken bone in his mouth, and suddenly spoke.

"If he really knows how to run a business and donates 200 taels of rice to the government, he will be able to get rid of the thief immediately. If he is in my hands and doesn't want his rice, he only needs to spend 500 taels for a double shift. I will protect him Come down."

When he talked about his profession in the yamen, Jin Douji was eloquent and spoke very logically and clearly.

Someone like Liusun who had been a bandit must not have a household registration, right? First spend fifty taels to get the household registration of a good citizen who has been dead for decades and has not been known for decades.

Then according to the regulations of the Li Dynasty, strong men who paid a lot of military insurance and also served in the country's military service can stand out among civilian households. Anyway, it is just a small matter of tampering and transcribing documents in the Yamen, and it can be easily modified for him. A first-class good citizen who is forty years old, has served in the county for two years in the military service, and pays an excess of military insurance every year.

And now it's time to provide disaster relief in Huanghaidao. I'll give money and rice, and donate a donation to serve the court. I'll give him enough paper and tea money in the yamen. In less than half a month, I can help him buy a double-class household registration.

It only costs 500 taels to support the sky.

Moreover, there were so many clans and surnames in the Li Dynasty. After all, only a few came to the fore, and there were countless poor and destitute people. Anyway, it was a lie. Find an old and childless man, give him five hundred taels, and adopt him. Now you can still get a child.

A decent origin.

At least he is a respectable person, and he is no longer just a donator who can be seen at a glance.

The last step is to go to Beijing to find a way out, and this is the highlight. Even country women like Hong know that you have to vote for the right person and stand on the right team. You can't buy a Shangguan without connections, and you can't give it away with money.

Will collect.

When there are official vacancies, people of the same race, hometown, and party are selected first, and the rest are sold out. This is the inevitable outcome of a humane society.

For example, if Hong Dashou buys an official position, even if he doesn't have Min Tinghye's path, as long as he returns to the Hong family in Fengshan, he will definitely be able to fill a gap, big or small. This is the advantage of family background. It is much easier to have family background than to have no family background.

Assuming that all the six grandchildren or above are successful, it is basically impossible to pass the step of buying an official position in Beijing, because the kind of shabby settlement he bought may not be easy for his father.

But he can find another way to buy Jinshi. Jinshi cannot buy miscellaneous subjects. As for the imperial examination, the two classes have a monopoly anyway. Except for the back door, you must pass the exam. There will always be places for sale. If you are willing to spend money, you must

You can buy one for less than three to five thousand.

If you buy a Jinshi, you can enter the officialdom. Even if you sit on the bench every day to fill vacancies, you can always make a familiar face with the chief minister and assistant minister of any department. Go to the singing bar and tile shop a few times, and have good wine and food.

Good girls are given away for free.

Bingjing in the summer and charcoal in the winter will be delivered to everyone who should arrive. Fresh melons, fruits and delicacies from the mountains and fisheries that should not be delivered should be delivered diligently. It is best to pay attention to the wife and children at home.

There are also some Western toys and Qing Dynasty jewelry.

Once you are born, you will be fooled again. If you can eat someone with a soft mouth, you can use a weak hand. If you can get a good man and a good man, you will have the chance to advance. If you spend another three thousand taels, you can definitely choose a serious county supervisor.

Although it always costs 10,000 taels before and after, the county supervisor can always make 30,000 yuan every three years, and he will definitely not lose money.

My identity has been cleared and I can earn money. Isn't it great?

Hong Dashou and Lin Shangwo looked at Jin Douji settling accounts with his fingers, as if he had personally experienced it, and they were talking about it in a ridiculous way, which was almost embarrassing.

"Isn't this your own path?" Hong Dashou narrowed his eyes and looked at Jin Douji.

"I went to Yanjing after all the hard work just for this reason." Jin Douji smiled and admitted frankly.

"Are you willing to let someone else do the money Jin Jinshi needs to save the rice?"

"Well, I've been working for Mr. Jin for more than ten years, and I only have so little money to save. I might as well earn an official position." Seeing Hong Dashou's interest, Jin Douji relaxed and said.

.

"He can let you go?"

"You two look down on the little money you get to save the rice from the famine, but on this one-third of an acre of land in Tieshan, dozens or hundreds of pairs of eyes are staring at me, wishing that I would leave as soon as possible."

"What's more, although I am considered Mr. Jin's family member (private slave), I have worked for him for so many years, and he will not trust me to continue working. If I ask for a retreat earlier, maybe it will be in line with his wishes."

"So you have quit your job?" Now even Lin Shangwo became interested.

"I resigned. Mr. Jin also gave me a reward of fifty taels. He said that I had worked hard for many years and gave me the deed."

Jin Douji's face changed a little, as if he was reminiscing, but also seemed to feel that his life these past few days was too unreal.

"You are like master and servant, so we can get together and part ways easily."

"I thought so too, but then the younger brother of the concubine in Mr. Jin's room picked on me, hahahahahaha."

Even if Jin Douji doesn't leave, he may not be able to do this job for long. He may find some reason to knock him out of the world one day, and not only will his face be ugly at that time, but the money he has lost over the years may also be

Spit it all out.

"I looked down on you before, and even called you Brother Jin. If you become prosperous in the future, you can help us both."
