"Exactly! As long as Mr. Zhu pays three hundred gold, the position of magistrate of this county will be yours, Mr. Zhu!"
The little eunuch was not surprised and explained patiently.
"But isn't the magistrate of Jing County Liu Yao? Is he still in office?"
Zhu Hansan would not dare to take this hot potato rashly before he asked clearly. He was already very worried when he offended Zhang Bao. If he offended Liu Yao again, he would really be walking on thin ice in the future.
"Magistrate Liu has been promoted to the post of governor of Julu County, and his appointment document will also be sent to you, Mr. Zhu."
The little eunuch explained.
"Brother Tang, you are really amazing! The county magistrate with eight hundred gold can actually be reduced to three hundred gold."
Zhu Hansan took the appointment document and said with a smile.
"Master Zhu, you have misunderstood. Your three hundred gold is just an advance payment. After you take office, you will need to pay one thousand gold to the court within three years."
The little eunuch said with a smile.
"What? My lord, according to the county magistrate, the maximum value is eight hundred gold, how come it becomes one thousand three hundred gold? What if I can't pay the full one thousand gold?"
Zhu Hansan was stunned when he heard this, and was so angry that he almost cursed. Can this thing be paid on credit first? At the same time, he also began to feel disgusted with Tang Zhou. He quickly took out a bunch of copper coins from his arms and stuffed them into the little eunuch's hand, and asked in a low voice
road.
"Some talented people may not necessarily have so much money. Considering local governance, the emperor decided that the emperor could temporarily borrow money, but he had to pay some deposit first and double the rest. If the money was not paid within three years, he would be bullied.
The punishment for your crime is to be beheaded."
After the little eunuch received the money, he still explained with a smile.
"What?"
At this moment, Zhu Hansan wanted to kick out this stupid boy Tang Zhou. He was really doing him a disservice.
"Actually, Mr. Zhu, you don't have to worry about this. I have already checked the household registration. Jingxian County belongs to a large county. This little money is nothing to Mr. Zhu. As long as there is no rebellion in Jingxian County in the past few years, the three
As soon as the new year is over, Mr. Zhu, you will be promoted. Of course, Mr. Zhu, you have to prepare the money needed for the promotion."
Since he has received the money, the little eunuch naturally has to explain it more clearly.
"Does promotion also cost money?"
Zhu Hansan felt that he had fallen into a pit, and it was an endless abyss.
"Not only for promotions, but also for level transfers or demotions, you have to pay money. The amount is the same as the outside price. If you don't pay the money, you will be punished. Unless you voluntarily leave office, but after leaving office, Mr. Zhu, the money you paid previously will not be allowed."
Returned.”
The little eunuch continued to explain.
"this..."
Such a weird business model, killing chickens to obtain eggs, and drinking poison to quench thirst is considered a good thing. Doesn't this force those who are officials to amass money? And when you are promoted, you will still be guilty if you don't pay enough. This is really
It was a risk to one's life. No wonder rebellions broke out in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. This was simply digging one's own grave.
"What are you thinking about? Brother Zhu, please give the money quickly. Brother, I will take you to the city to have a good time, which can be regarded as a blessing for you."
Tang Zhou stepped forward, hugged Zhu Hansan and said with a smile.
"Oh? Wen Yuan, bring the box in and give it to this little adult."
Looking at Tang Zhou's flat eyes, Zhu Hansan finally resisted the urge to beat him up and confessed to Zhang Liao outside the door.
When Zhu Hansan and others walked out of Xiyuan, there were people pointing at them along the way. Their eyes were extremely cold, and there was also some disgust in them. Yes, it was disgusting.
"Brother Tang, since something happened here, then I will

We have left Luoyang, let’s meet again next time.”
At this time, Zhu Hansan had no idea of continuing to visit Luoyang. Maybe he was shocked, or maybe he was really confused about the world.
"Don't bother me!"
The main reason was that Zhu Hansan would welcome him, and Tang Zhou was happy to hear it. Although the two had only known each other for a day, Tang Zhou planned to recruit Zhu Hansan as a confidant.
"Brother Tang, I still have an old mother at home. She has been out for more than a month now. I am really worried about my mother at home. Please forgive me, Brother Tang."
Zhu Hansan took out a small piece of gold from his arms and put it into Tang Zhou's hand, with a look of shame on his face, and said: "I have disturbed Brother Tang's elegance, and I really deserve death. These are my little thoughts, and please give Tang Zhou
Brother, don’t be too little.”
"Since my brother is worried about his mother at home, it's not easy for him to stop him. If he wants to go back, he can go back!"
Tang Zhou's face instantly turned ugly. After speaking coldly, he turned and left.
"This...this kind of person is more than just a kid."
Seeing Tang Zhou greeting Tang Zhou with a smile on his front feet, but cold and heartless on the back, Zhu Hansan could only take a breath of cold air in his heart and thought to himself, that old man Zhang Jiao is probably blind, this kind of person can be tolerated
Be a disciple.
"Boss, should we leave Luoyang directly?"
Zhang Liao glanced at Zhou Cang beside him and asked.
"The name of a country - weapons, should not be given lightly. Some yellow and white things can be obtained in such a grand manner. Alas, it is difficult to be an official, and it is even harder for the common people."
Zhu Hansan weighed the appointment document in his hand and laughed to himself.
"The name and weapon of a country should not be given lightly. However, dear friend, you still accepted it, didn't you?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a mocking laugh came from not far away.
"Who are you? Are you the one who can make trouble about my adults' affairs?"
Zhang Liao's eyes sharpened, and when he heard the sound, he looked over and saw a ragged young man sitting under a stone monument not far away. While pouring a wine bottle into his mouth, he looked at Zhu Hansan and others with disdain in his eyes.
After the wine was gone, the young man wiped the wine stains from the corners of his mouth and said mockingly: "In this large public, do you still want to make things difficult for me? Besides, did I say anything?"
"Look for a fight!"
Zhang Liao was furious when he heard this and raised his hand to strike.
"Everyone, come and see, I've beaten someone to death, I've beaten someone to death! Ouch, it hurts me so much, I've beaten someone to death! Come and see, everyone!"
The young man was not afraid, he just lay down and rolled on the ground, scratching his ears and cheeks, and yelling.
"Look, that official is going to beat him!"
"This young man is so pitiful!"
"Even though you are an official, you can't just hurt people casually, right?"
"They have money, do you? You'd better shut up, don't let the officials hear it, and you'll get the benefit of the doubt."
...
The appearance of the young man was really too exaggerated, and it immediately attracted dozens of people to watch. Not to mention, these people living in big cities did not have much fear of foreign officials like Zhu Hansan.
To give pointers is to make irresponsible remarks.
"this..."
After all, Zhang Liao was young and felt a little overwhelmed for a moment. He stood there with his fists raised and looked at Zhu Hansan stupidly.
"Okay, stop making trouble!"
Zhu Hansan smiled bitterly and pulled down Zhang Liao's hand, squatted beside the young man, and joked: "Seeing that you can pronounce clearly, how about you become a small official with me?"
"You're going to take me in now, and then you'll try to torture me in every possible way after I get out of Luoyang City?"
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
The young man laughed, continued to roll and shouted: "Oh, the county magistrate has beaten someone, the county magistrate has beaten someone."
"Boy, stop until you click. That's enough for you!"
Zhou Cang took a step forward, pulled out a waist knife, revealed a chilling light, and said sternly.
"As long as the county magistrate pays for the next meal, the matter will be over."
The young man was afraid of Zhou Cang, so he quickly got up and sat on the ground, reaching out to ask for money.
“Interesting, interesting!”
Zhu Hansan stood up and said with a smile: "There is a wine shop ahead. If you want to drink, just come with me."
After finishing speaking, Zhu Hansan walked towards the wine shop. The young man looked at his back and thought for a while, then he also got up and left.
Everyone came to the wine shop, and Zhang Liao asked for a private room. The young man was not afraid. After sitting down, he shouted: "Where is the waiter? Why don't you serve the wine? Sir, I'm dying of thirst. Hurry up and serve the wine."
, good wine!”
The waiter looked troubled and turned to look at Zhu Hansan. He also knew that this group of people was headed by Zhu Hansan and seemed to be waiting for his words.
"Listen to him and serve him good wine!"
Zhu Hansan sat opposite the young man and said with a smile.
"Okay, gentlemen, please wait a moment!"
The waiter quickly responded with a smile and a loud voice.
When the table was filled with food and wine, Zhang Liao and Zhou Cang wisely withdrew.
Zhu Hansan personally poured a glass of wine for the young man and said with a smile: "Don't you want to drink? I'll take care of you today!"
"Then I'll thank you in advance."
The young man raised his head and drank from the wine bottle. After a sip, he felt that it was not enough, so he leaned over and drank by himself.
Zhu Hansan didn't say anything, and just watched the young man drink quietly. From just now to now, although the young man behaved lightly and was a bit playful, judging from his clear eyes, he was not unlearned.
A person with no skills, just an angry young man.
"Have you drunk enough? If you don't have enough, ask for more!"
Seeing the young man finishing three pots in a row, Zhu Hansan smiled and said.
"Never drink enough wine, but this wine is no good, it tastes bad! It's not as good as our Yingchuan wine."
The young man pulled off a chicken leg and gesticulated while chewing it: "I'm not bragging to you, the wine in Yingchuan is the best in the world."
“That’s right, when you are away from home, after all, the wine from your hometown tastes better!”
Zhu Hansan nodded and chuckled.
"Oh? This gentleman looks unusual. Do you think he is from Yingchuan?"
The young man raised his eyebrows and chuckled.
"Didn't you say that yourself?"
After Zhu Hansan took a brief sip of the wine in the cup, he frowned and said: "This wine is indeed terrible to drink, but Yingchuan wine is not necessarily that good. I do have a good wine, which can be called the best in the world."
Excellent.”
"Really? Where is it? Don't be so stingy, take it out and try it together!"
The young man's eyes lit up, he threw aside the chicken drumstick in his hand, and looked at Zhu Hansan with bright eyes.
"My wine is not cheap. If you come with me and do things with me in the future, it doesn't hurt to give you this wine."
Zhu Hansan took out a gourd he carried with him from his waist, opened the lid slightly and quickly closed it again.
"Smells, it does smell good, how come it smells so good?"
The young man closed his eyes, his nose was rumbling, and he said with an intoxicated look on his face.
"Okay, I'll hang out with you from now on, but you have to let me drink this wine first!"
Suddenly, the young man opened his eyes suddenly, stared at the gourd in Zhu Hansan's hand, and said with saliva.
