Chapter 83: Complaint
Zhang Luo did not refuse.
Enter the county school.
Open the bag and take a look.
The shining white silver is particularly dazzling.
The total amount is fifty taels of silver.
Zhang Luo has also made some money these days.
But people like Xu Shouye are taken advantage of.
It’s the first time I’ve seen him.
Zhang Luo hid the money in the school building.
When it's getting dark.
Call four classmates and set off towards Tianyang Tower.
Second floor of Tianyang Building.
Zhang Luo met Zhang Shengwen.
A clan brother named Zhang Shengxuan.
He looks a little older than Zhang Shengwen.
But he doesn't have the bookish spirit of Zhang Shengwen.
It has a bit more social atmosphere.
But it’s normal to think about it.
I have heard from Zhang Shengwen that Zhang Shengxuan does not like reading very much.
I went to the county government office early to work as an errand.
I have been struggling for so many years.
He knows how to deal with the world better than Zhang Shengwen.
At the banquet.
Pair a few glasses of good wine with each other.
This is the clerk who just took office in the county government office.
Started shouting loudly.
I became friends with Zhang Luo and others.
He sat next to Zhang Luo.
Keep talking about the hardships I have endured over the years.
"Brother Zhang Luo."
"You don't know, the connections in this county government are as deep as the world."
"There are too many secrets in it."
"I don't even dare to say a few words when I'm working in the county government."
"I wonder what kind of errands Brother Zhang does?"
"Oh, don't mention it."
"At the hands of Liu Dahu."
"What good fruit can I eat?"
"He has been working in a bank account for decades."
"This is so powerful that it makes people breathless."
"I was asked to clean the house and do odd jobs every day."
"All the clerks in the bank room belong to him."
"Those people used different methods to target me."
"You really don't live as well as a farmer."
Zhang Shengwen and the Wei brothers all agreed.
They have come into contact with many petty officials in government offices.
I know very well what it is like to be a subordinate in the government.
Dianshi is a senior official who has records in the Ministry of Personnel.
There are also salaries from the imperial court.
However, the salaries of officials in the Ming Dynasty were pitiful.
Not to mention these subordinate staff.
The scribes under the Classics and History Department had no salary at all.
Some county governments will use money to light fires.
Give some money to the scribes.
Clerks serve for three to five years.
Basically, they will work for five years.
If the county government is dissatisfied with you after your term ends.
I can send you home directly.
In serious cases, it may even force you to go home halfway.
For a scribe like Zhang Shengxuan.
I want to continue working in the county government.
You have to work together with others.
It is really difficult to be in a situation like Zhang Shengxuan's.
"It's not my turn to have a nice job like collecting donations and taxes."
"But Liu Dahu is nothing."
"Tell me a few days ago. Let me do the work of escorting tax collection."
Hear about escorting taxes.
Hu Zhao suddenly seemed to have heard something interesting.
Zhang Luo asked:
"This tax escort is to give away the tax revenue collected?"
"That's the trouble!"
"Brother Zhang Luo, you don't know much about the county government."
"Sending taxes in a bank account is the most difficult thing to do."
"If you don't pay attention, you will make a big mistake."
Some tax money, food.
This does not mean that the county government can just take it from the people.
The county government must deliver these things to the place specified by the prefect government.
If it's short of a pound or it's delivered late.
They all have to be punished.
Jinjiang County is Guofu County.
This saves the step of sending the county taxes and grains to the magistrate's office.
But then the scribes in Jinjiang County had another job.
Together with the prefect's Yamen, he sent taxes and grain to Fuzhou Prefecture.
There is corruption from top to bottom.
The operation among officials is very sophisticated.
Zhang Shengxuan is a junior official.
I can't do much.
Zhang Shengxuan may have been badly repaired by Liu Dahu.
A few more glasses of wine.
He complained frequently to Zhang Luo:
"Actually, this job is not without money."
"That's the person whose former scribe was Liu Dahu."
"Then you won't be willing to leave."
"You want to drive me away before taking office."
"So you won't tell me any ways to make money."
Zhang Luo was also stunned when he heard this.
You are in someone else's seat now.
Do you still want others to tell you about the benefits?
It is probably that Zhang Shengxuan has been tortured terribly these days.
That’s why I said this.
Zhang Luo was determined to find out information about the bank account from Zhang Shengxuan.
And Zhang Shengxuan was always in the bank room.
It is also a kind of disgust towards Liu Dahu.
Zhang Luo listened for a while.
Xiang Shengxuan said:
"Actually, I make money by transporting silver grain."
"It's very simple. It's nothing more than an exchange."
Zhang Shengxuan heard this.
Put your body close to Zhang Luo.
asked:
"Does Brother Zhang Luo know the way inside?"
Several other people looked at Zhang Luo.
Zhang Luo's talent in reading has spread throughout the county schools.
Kang Jiaoyu also said this.
Zhang Luo will surely be admitted as a scholar within two or three years.
But does Zhang Luolian know about the affairs of the county government?
Zhang Luo glanced at everyone.
said:
"It's easy."
"Inside the silver coins delivered."
"Most of it is grain."
"Sell some grain to get money."
"We'll buy food when we get to Fuzhou."
"The silver left in the middle is yours."
This is the method Zhang Luo mentioned.
It is a relatively common means of making money.
You can make a deal with the escort.
Don't let them escort you personally.
Ask them for a commission fee.
Almost all these civilians are willing to pay.
The transported food has to travel hundreds of kilometers.
There may be dangers on the road.
Just ask them.
They will definitely line up to pay.
Then the scribe can take the silver.
Go to the provincial capital to exchange for some cheap food.
This will complete the task of sending silver grain.
Zhang Shengxuan thought for a while and said:
"That's a good idea."
"But this method is no longer easy to do now."
"Almost all the food delivered to Fuzhou at one time is grain."
"Scribes all use this method now."
"Grain farmers in the provincial capital will increase their prices every time."
"Go buy food then."
"I'm afraid I'll still have to pay for it."
What Zhang Luo thought was simpler.
I want to earn intermediate money.
There are more specific steps.
Just have a good relationship with the merchant.
Before Zhang Shengxuan became a scribe.
There is also some money in my pocket.
The first time I went on an errand to deliver silver grain.
The method of exchanging grain for silver was used.
No silver was left.
I gave all my savings into it.
Zhang Luo suddenly thought of a way.
Take yourself a box of rock candy.
Put it in front of Zhang Shengxuan.
Zhang Shengxuan opened the wooden box.
I found it was full of rock candy.
He quickly said:
"You can't accept this, Brother Zhang Luo."
Zhang Luo said:
"Brother Zhang, there is no need to refuse."
"This is rock candy made by our Zhenhaiwei ourselves."
"Not much money."
Zhang Shengxuan then slowly accepted the wooden box.
Although he became a scribe.
But things like rock candy are generally unaffordable.
[Complete the task of bribing officials, officialdom lv increased to 2, experience 0/20]
See Zhang Shengxuan accept the rock candy.
Zhang Luo said to him:
"Brother Zhang, what do you think of the rock candy made by our Zhenhaiwei?"
