Chapter Three Hundred and Twenty-Nine Words Are Not Speculative
Piao Tian Literature Li Youli talked for a long time near the entrance of the hall, and finally turned around and sat down again, as if he wanted to have a careful heart-to-heart talk with Mr. Xiao.
"The old master must have come from the Han Dynasty. He was released to the fourth rank this time. When he returns to the capital, he will be of great importance. The minister of the capital is not a concern, so why do you want to climb the dragon and the phoenix?"
Li You's words can only be understood by people in the officialdom. The Qingliu in Hanlin, Zuoyouchunfang, and Economic Affairs Bureau are called Cilin officials. Qinggui are noble, but their grades are not high. Hanlin
The big boss of the hospital is only a fifth grade.
Therefore, for Cichen, reaching the fifth rank is the most basic bottom line, and you can survive through qualifications. How to transition from the fifth rank to a third rank official to enter the monastery is the key issue. If you can't jump over, you will be stuck as an old bachelor.
.
This requires the Eight Immortals to show their magical powers across the sea. For example, serving as the fourth-grade Imperial Academy's sacrificial wine is a kind of transition. But the most popular transition is to be sent to various provinces to serve as academic officials... After three years of serving, there are two college examinations and one provincial examination.
It's really a combination of fame and fortune.
Xiao Xuedao is probably in this situation. He has connections and connections, so he has great prospects for development when he returns.
But if his daughter really becomes the queen, then according to the dynasty's custom of foreign relatives not participating in politics, Mr. Xiao's career will be cut off. He will probably be granted an idle title and live a happy life of eating and waiting to die. Therefore, Mr. Li
People often ask, "Why should we climb the dragon and follow the phoenix?"
Xiao Xuedao sighed: "In this era of peace and quiet, even if you are the prime minister and assistant, you are just sticking to the old rules, and your fame is just this. What's the point? I don't want to hide it. I thought that a gentleman's fortune would not last more than five generations, so he was killed because of his relative's title.
As a noble, you can at least get a piece of the family property that you can share with the country, so why not?"
Although Mr. Xiao did not mention his son a word, Li You could maliciously guess that his young master must be very incompetent. Otherwise, how could Mr. Xiao have cut off his own career as an official, and also blocked his son's path to study and progress.
Of course, Li You wouldn't be stupid enough to ask for details. He wouldn't even ask him, "Why are you so cruel to send your daughter to the palace?"
The foreplay and nonsense are over. It’s time to see the real story, let’s talk about the benefits. Li Youhe slapped his hand and said seriously: "I have nothing to do with the draft. If you are keen on it, I'm afraid it won't sound good if it gets spread. It will be in vain."
A reputation that seeks to advance."
What was clearly a worry was actually a request... Xiao Xuedao was quite speechless at Li You's words.
There is no third party in this room, and it is not a public place. Just say what you want. Why do you need to make such poor excuses? Are you, Mr. Li, afraid of being criticized for "expecting to advance by luck"? You have clearly written everything from head to toe.
The word "Xing Jin" is mentioned. There are many officials in this dynasty, up and down. If you don't count Xing Jin, who can still count as Xing Jin?
"Actually, being able to participate in this matter will already bring you a hundred benefits and no harm, so why bother talking about anything else?"
Xiao Xuedao's meaning was very obscure, but Li You still understood it - if big things can come true, then what you will gain is the gratitude of the queen's family and the natural closeness of the future prince. Isn't this worth your service? There is no need to worry about it.
Small profit?
Xiao Xuedao really didn't have much preparation to persuade Li You to help this time. In his mind, as long as he could resolve the crisis in the county examination for Li You, plus the long-term benefits brought by establishing a queen, it would be enough to make Li You tempted.
There are two long-term interests. First, the eldest son of the empress is the unshakable prince of the Ming Dynasty. With the power of the ministers to stick to the rules, not even the emperor can depose the prince; second, the empress of the Ming Dynasty generally lives longer than the emperor, so the empress can basically
Once you become the empress dowager, you will have greater say in the matter. The new emperor will not be able to disobey easily out of filial piety.
If you are an old man in your 50s or 60s, you may not be interested in these things that you don’t know when they will be realized in the future. But Mr. Li is still young and will be an official at 70. There are still 50 years in his official career, so he should definitely focus on long-term planning.
.
But the long-term benefits that can easily be measured in ten years are a bit elusive to Li You, who is only 19 years old. Working hard in vain is not his style. It is more practical to seize what is in front of him. Maybe he is too greedy, and long-term benefits are not his style.
They all want to possess short-term profits.
This is in conflict with Xiao Xuedao's idea. If Xiao Xuedao wants to come and let Li You participate in the establishment of the Queen, it would be a great honor to give him the opportunity to become a reserve prime minister. Others can't get what they ask for, so he still wants to be greedy?
If Eunuch Mai, who was well aware of the situation in the palace, had not solemnly recommended Li You, Xiao Xuedao would not have had the patience to talk to Li You so much. He still had doubts about Mr. Li's influence on Guide Qiantose. Besides, he still had doubts.
Li You is not the only one who wants to catch Princess Guide.
After a few more rounds of back and forth, both sides understood the other's intentions, but they still couldn't reach an agreement, and the hall fell silent.
It’s really not a word of speculation. I didn’t feel tired after talking for a long time just now, but now I am really too lazy to say anything. Mr. Li leaned on the back of the chair and stretched out three fingers, and said concisely and concisely: "Three people."
This is absolutely not possible! Xiao Xuedao immediately rejected it in his heart.
The Jiangbei Township Examination only has a total of 90 candidates, but it still benefits from Fengyang Prefecture's Longxing Land. According to industry regulations, the flexible quota for placement of related households is at most 30, and Li You immediately thought of taking one-tenth of it in vain.
, how is this acceptable?
There is a saying that goes, "It is more difficult to be promoted than to be promoted to Jinshi." If Li You wants to be promoted, he is bound to get it.
The Li family in Xishui has finally managed to produce a scholar named Li Zheng, their nephew and grandson. They cannot just disappear among the one or two million scholars in the country. Every step forward is a step forward. Among the five scholars in Xujiang County he operated last year,
Except for Li Zheng, two of them got married to the Li family after being admitted and can continue to be promoted.
This is the real power of the family connected by clan ties, and it is related to the Li family's century-old plan.
Li You has been looking for opportunities since he became rich. Today he happened to meet Xiao Xuedao. It was a rare opportunity. If Xiao Xuedao agreed, he would find a way to move Li Zheng's registered residence to Jiangbei within one or two years, just in time for the year after tomorrow.
of rural examination.
Unfortunately, Xiao Xuedao refused to give in so far, which made Li You resentful. He stood up again and said: "How many generations of your family have been businessmen?"
Xiao Xuedao was stunned, "How did you know?"
Li You sarcastically said, "If you weren't a businessman, how could you be so cautious about spending every penny? How could you be so calculating? In the face of big events, you are still suspicious of small things, stingy and stingy. With such a habit, what else can you be than a short-sighted businessman?"
Xiao Xuedao did not fight with Li You and left a buffer. "I will stay in Gaoyou Prefecture for a few days. I hope Mr. Li will think it over carefully."
Li You sneered and said: "I will also let the old master see clearly whether I am worth the price!"
