Chapter 139 Father-in-law pays, we are promoted
Buy an official for the prosperity of the people!
Buy officials for the sake of the country's strength!
Buy an official for the realization of faith!
The "three purposes" fully demonstrated Eunuch Wei's attitude and also fully explained why he wanted to buy an official position.
After scattering the Chinese roots for the comrades sitting alone, Eunuch Wei took out a hot note and lit it for himself, and then pointed out earnestly that it is not shameful to buy an official, but the shameful thing is that he forgot his original intention after buying an official.
"As long as you all remember the original intention of serving the people, what's shameful about buying an official?...We don't buy it, others buy it. If others buy it, everything will suppress you and limit everything will be you. No matter how great your ambitions and great ability you have, what can you do?"
"What does the old saying mean? The butt determines the head. What does it mean? That is, the black hat on your head determines what you can do and what you can't do!"
"If Shangguan asks you to go east, but you go west, and you insist on making a strong point. How should Shangguan see you? Shangguan is bothering you, and you feel that you are unable to do things yourself. In the end, you will either sink into life or pack up your parcel and go home. In this way, you are worthy of studying hard?"
"But if we buy an official and become our boss, these problems will not exist. What? The boss's boss? It doesn't matter, let's buy it again."
“…”
The words are rough but not rough.
In order to dispel the possible shame that these talented scholars who had just emerged from the imperial examination road, Eunuch Wei gave a specific explanation of his experience.
"We have done a lot of things for His Majesty in the past few years. Maybe you have not been in contact with our family for a long time, so it is not very clear, but someone knows it."
My father-in-law pointed at the personal guard Wei Laojiu (brother-in-law) at the door with his right hand holding a cigarette and said, "Laojiu, you have been with us the longest time. You remember many things. Tell them that when our family first arrived in Jiangnan in the 39th year of Wanli, were you worried?"
"Frustrated! The officials in Jiangnan do not regard their father-in-law as human beings, and make things difficult for their father-in-law everywhere!" Wei Laojiu said.
"Why don't they regard us as human beings?"
My father-in-law raised his hand and said, "It's just that our family is wearing red robes. Whether it's the outer court or the inner court, they all look at people's food. If we want to do things, we have to make progress and climb up! If the red robes we wore when we went south, would the officials in Jiangnan still treat our family like that?"
"They are local snakes, and there are wealth and some people, power and soldiers. What is our family? Just a eunuch who doesn't even have a red robe. Our family thinks that no matter how good they are, no matter how good they do, they ignore us and reject us. How can we do things? If we can't do things, can Your Majesty still use us? So, our family has to work hard and make progress! Of course, our family is not spending money to buy the red robe because our family has no money."
Speaking of this, Eunuch Wei blew up the ashes and said to Wei Laojiu: "Laojiu, tell them how our family fights."
"In the 39th year, my father-in-law ordered to go to the Wusong River Camp and took back the Wusong Navy. In September, my father-in-law personally took the imperial army to cut down the powerful and powerful nobles in Nandu and took back the iron farm. In the 40th year, my father-in-law crossed the river to cut down the rich people in Jiangbei. In the 41st year, my father-in-law came to our special zone to cause trouble and smash the ground. Without saying a word, my father-in-law picked up their Zhenhaiwei and picked up their flags... In the 42th year, my father-in-law built a new relationship between the Sino-Korea strategic alliance, and in the 44th year, my father-in-law led a joint fleet to occupy the Dongfan..." Wei Laojiu still remembered it vividly.
"Our family has no money, but our family is not afraid of death... It is precisely because of this enthusiasm that our family has done these things, and has done the maritime affairs in the southeast, and put the eight words of breeding, production and business development, and maintaining a strong country. Only then can we be promoted to the fifth-rank guard, and we are only one step away from the red robe."
When recalling the past, Eunuch Wei was also very moved.
"Why do we want to tell you this? The reason is that we want you to know that if you can't climb up, you will always be a mini-official. What can you do if you can help? You can't even feel sorry for yourself when you fall down, saying that you are useless."
"But you are better than our family. You are from Jinshi, and your true fame is many times better than our eunuch. Moreover, you are civil servants, so you don't need to fight, kill..."
Cheng Zhengji said excitedly: "Duke Wei, we understand what you mean!"
"Just understand! Don't have any burden, don't have any ideas, for the people, for the country, and for the faith, you should buy officials boldly."
While speaking, Eunuch Wei renewed another one for himself.
Lu Mingde, who was in charge of the Ministry of Works, felt a little embarrassed: "Donald Wei, even if we are willing to spend money to buy an official position, we are just starting to enter the official career, without savings, and not rich at home, so we are really unable to buy an official position."
These words made most people in the house nod slightly.
Although their family has improved since they were a juren, and many villagers in their names invested in their money, it is still quite difficult to use money to buy an official position based on their family background.
Especially a few families were poor before passing the imperial examination, and even after passing the Jinshi, it was difficult for them to live in Beijing.
It's impossible for them to use money to buy an official in this situation.
Eunuch Wei nodded and asked Cheng Zhengji: "You are the head of the Ministry of Personnel, and you are familiar with the matters in the black hat market. Let's ask you, for example, if you want to be promoted to the head of the company now and get a man to do it, how much money will you get?"
Cheng Zhengji thought for a while and said, "Reply to Mr. Wei's words, the chief officer is afraid of three thousand taels."
Mao Shilong said on the side: "I heard that Sun Ruyou, the Donglin Party, gave Ye Xianggao eight thousand taels at a time in order to be the minister."
Sun Bixian sneered: "The Fuqing Gong takes care of the party's talents and collects 8,000,000, if others start at least 10,000."
Three thousand liang department level upgraded to department level, and eight thousand liang department level upgraded to department level. This price is not expensive, but it is definitely not cheap.
Mr. Wei only had a thousand taels of annual card for his son-in-law Ran Xingrang in Yuanxinju.
Things like buying and selling official hats do not exist on the surface, but are all secret operations. It is very common for the parties in the court and the opposition to clearly mark prices or transfer interests.
Even if there is no yellow or white thing mixed in it, there are other benefits that cannot be eliminated for thousands of years.
"You don't have to worry about money, everything is up to our family. Our family has suffered from the hardship of money, and our family doesn't want you to follow our old path again. Well, as long as you can keep your original intention and always think that serving the people is your ideological purpose, even if you lose everything, we will help you promote your official position!"
Everyone was shocked and grateful when they heard this.
"You guys are afraid that you want to know why our family is doing this?"
Eunuch Wei stood up with a cigarette in his mouth and said with a sigh: "Eight years ago, I was ambitious to go south and planned to do some practical things. Who knew that before I took office, I almost asked someone to sweep it out in Wuxi. Dozens of comrades who followed us died! Now I think about it, my heart hurts a lot!
Later, our family went to Jinshan Temple to do a fortune teller. The fortune teller said that we were a general who had achieved success and had thousands of bones woven, but we didn’t believe it. We thought that since we had come out to do things, we had to decide whether to live or die!"
"But that's the case, but our family doesn't really want to die. We just think that if our family doesn't have a single person, can we unite more people and help us? You are the ones who want to unite our family, and you can also help us!"
Eunuch Wei glanced at the crowd and said in a deep voice: "You are not the ones under my name, and you don't have much friendship with us. You have a clean foundation. You can choose how to walk on the road yourself. Those who are willing to walk with our family, and our family will help you go higher and farther after they sacrifice their lives. Those who are unwilling to walk with our family will also regard you as a friend. In the future, there will always be a meeting with thousands of miles."
"Mr. Wei, the students believe you, and the students follow you!"
Ruan Dacheng, a guy who had just secretly scolded Mr. Wei as a dead eunuch, was the first to stand up and express his opinion. He shouted: "Even if everyone in the world doesn't believe you, I, Ruan Dacheng, believe you!"
My father-in-law was very moved and he was sure to be able to write, but he could pretend.
"I am also willing to follow Duke Wei, work hard to cultivate and develop industries, maintain a strong country, and contribute my life to the powerful Huangming!" Sun Bixian clenched his fists.
One student after another expressed his incomparable support for his career to Mr. Wei.
Yang Sichang and Ma Shiying were emotionally unable to let go because they had never participated in the Donglin student class, but their silence showed that they were still very moved by Eunuch Wei's sponsorship of the promotion.
As long as it is for the country and the people, there is nothing wrong with buying an official.
“Okay, okay,”
Eunuch Wei picked up the tea bowl with pleasure: "Then we will use tea instead of wine. I wish you all the adults a step-by-step promotion in the court, and cheers!"
"cheers!"
Everyone raised the bowl together.
How to buy an official? The specific matters are subject to Cheng Zhengji, the head of the Ministry of Personnel and Mao Shilong, the convener.
Mr. Wei asked the two of them to handle the specific arrangements and invited all the talented men to eat pork with him later, which was called a close contact.
After coming out, Wei Laojiu said: "Dadfather-in-law, with your ability, let alone the red robe, you can even make the seal of the ritual palm."
"right!"
Xu Xianchun, who had just stopped talking, agreed, "If Eunuch Wei is here to sit in the position of the inner minister, I will be the first to agree. If anyone who is capable is here, Eunuch Wei will be a powerful person."
"I don't accept others, but I am not convinced, and my soldiers of the Ming Dynasty Emperor's Army are not convinced!" Wei Laojiu hummed.
"What should I do if I don't agree?"
Eunuch Wei felt that his clan brother had made great progress and could do things with one lesson. He drove him out like learning literature to lead troops. He could be the only one who could be the only one who could be the only one after another after a few years of training.
But what Eunuch Wei didn't expect was that Xu Xianchun blurted out: "I don't accept it and chopped his whole family!"
"Brother Xu, you are also a royal relative, why are you more fierce than a bandit?" Eunuch Wei was indeed a little shocked. Although Xu Xianchun was the great devil of the Tianqi Dynasty, he was still a very gentle person at present.
Xu Xianchun laughed: "Have Eunuch Wei forgotten what he said before, living is righteousness, and winning is justice. How can you do if you want to live and win, but not being ruthless?"
"The ruthlessness towards the enemy is the best protection for yourself." Eunuch Wei thought of this sentence.
"I think of my father-in-law and have the whole world in my heart. I'm afraid there will be so many people to eliminate in the future. At that time, I'll let Xu be the killer of my father-in-law."
