I am a late bloomer in the world of cultivating immortals

Chapter 44 Appointment of military officer (for collection, for further reading)

After reading the letter.

Wei Tu was a little surprised, the four brothers fought against the prefect of He at that time, decided not to join the Wuyun Tower, and they withstood a lot of pressure.

Now that He Zhifu has been offended, it would seem a little unwise to join the Wuyun Tower...

"Then why did Fu Zhizhou mention this so much? Could it be because... the elders of the Wuyun Building charged too high a price..."

After thinking about it, Wei Tu felt that this guess was the most credible.

Each Wu Xiucai is a county elite with a bright future. If the Wu Yun Building's price is not too high, other Wu Xiucai will not join this martial arts school and become a thorn in the eyes and a thorn in the flesh of the government.

"The two ends of the first rat will surely suffer disaster. No matter how high the price of Wuyun Building is, I will flatly refuse it!"

Weitu is determined.

After reading the letter, Wei Tu thought for a while, then threw the letter from Fu Zhizhou into the charcoal basin and destroyed it immediately.

……

The next day.

Wei Fei came to the door and conspired with Wei Tu for half a day.

The two first united the front on the matter of rejecting the Wuyun Building, and then discussed for a while about the "appointment certificate", and decided to go to Jian Liang, the household official, to inquire about some inside information.

It has been seven or eight days since the two changed their martial arts registrations, but they still haven't received the "certificate of appointment" from the county government.

This time is a bit late compared to previous years.

When giving gifts, Wei Fei saw Weitu's financial distress, and suggested that he buy a double gift this time, and when Weitu's salary is paid after he becomes an official, treat him to a good meal and it's over.

Hearing this, Wei Tu didn't hold back. After thanking Wei Fei, he went to the West Market in the county with him to buy gifts.

then.

The two each cut three catties of mutton and two catties of pork, took a few boxes of pastries, and went to Jianliang's house to visit.

Seeing the generous gifts, Jian Liang was also very talkative, and immediately explained the reason why the county government hadn't awarded them officials for a long time.

"Brother Wei is a second-class military scholar. According to the usual practice in the past, he should be awarded the post of chief officer. This official is a miscellaneous official, a mid-level military officer, and not a high-ranking official. However, in the Xiang army, he is considered a good job. The wind does not blow, and the rain does not..."

"Brother Wei is a third-class military scholar. Although the officer he confers is not as good as Brother Wei, he can still get a military envoy who rewards meritorious deeds and punishes crimes."

"but now……"

Having said that, Jian Liang shook his head and pointed in the direction of Fucheng.

"Two brothers, did you offend some important person in Fucheng?" He lowered his voice and asked.

Iron-clad subordinates, flowing officials.

Jian's family has been subordinate officials for generations in Qingshan County. Although Yuqingshan County is not a wealthy family, but the relationship is intricate, and they are not afraid of the high officials in the prefecture who are far away from the emperor.

Therefore, when Jian Liang spoke, he didn't have too many scruples.

"Offend?"

"The two of us have not offended anyone?"

When Wei Tu and Wei Fei came here, they already had guesses about the prefect's suppression of them, so they had already made up their rhetoric and made preparations.

When talking, pretend to be stupid.

Seeing this scene, Jian Liang immediately had an idea in his mind, he nodded secretly, and pointed out a clear way for Wei Tu and Wei Fei.

"The Xiang army in Qingshan County is all managed by County Captain Xu, and County Captain Xu's wife has always been greedy for money. Brother Wei and Brother Wei found the butler Liu of Xu's house and just sent some money."

"It's just that the money given here is just to issue a letter of appointment to the two of you. It's hard to say whether the official is an escort or a military envoy."

he said.

Heard this.

Even though Wei Tu and Wei Fei expressed their gratitude to Jian Liang, Wei Fei took out another ingot of silver from the purse and stuffed it into Jian Liang's hand.

"Thank you Brother Jian for pointing out a clear path for my two brothers."

Wei Fei bowed to thank him.

There are people in the yamen who are good at handling things.

Without the path pointed out by Jian Liang, it would be difficult for the two of them to find a suitable path even if they went to give gifts.

"We are all colleagues. I will help you two today, and you will help me in the future." Jian Liang smiled, and returned the silver ingot to Wei Fei.

"I accept the gift, and the money is unnecessary."

He added a sentence.

……

Leave Jane's house.

Wei Tu and Wei Fei decided that it would be sooner rather than later, so they went to the jewelry shop in the county without stopping. After picking out gifts, they came to Xu's house where the county captain Xu was.

After taking care of Butler Liu in Xu's residence, Wei Tu and the two asked Butler Liu to give the gift they selected to Mrs. Xu Xianwei.

In the afternoon, the two of them received the letter of approval, and Mrs. Xu asked them to wait at home. It won't be long before the letter of appointment from the county government will come down.

then.

the next day.

Wei Tu, who was practicing Zhuang Gong at home, received a letter of appointment from the soldiers of the Xiang Army.

He opened it up.

There are three big characters "Dujunshi" written on the book.

"The position of the official has been lowered by one level. This should be the county government's response to the government government. We can't really ignore He Zhifu..."

Wei Tu thought.

The third-class martial arts scholar will be awarded the military attache of the "dujunshi" level.

He is a second-class martial arts scholar, and the position of military attache conferred is the level of "Abbot".

"The appointment of officials is the second. The county government can't keep delaying. The real suppression of the four of us by the prefect is promotion..."

Wei Tu secretly sighed.

For example, Wu Xiucai who participated in martial arts and gained fame are very popular in the local army. After being appointed as miscellaneous officials, their promotion speed is not slow.

Within ten years, it is expected to become a ninth-rank official.

Within 20 years, it is expected to be an eighth-rank official.

But because of He Zhifu's intervention, if they have no chance in this life, they can only stay at the bottom of the Xiang army until they die, with no hope of promotion.

Even if He Zhifu was transferred to leave Qingfeng Mansion a year later, it would not help.

Within the system, if you don't do something, you can't make mistakes.

In the official circles of Qingfeng Mansion, there is still the old man of He Zhifu, so even if the people of He Zhifu take tea, the little remaining prestige can still suppress these martial arts talents from poor families, making them unable to get ahead for the rest of their lives.

"But... I'm different."

"As long as I win the martial arts examination in the next provincial examination and become a martial arts examiner, the official circles of Qingfeng Mansion will not be able to hold me back!"

With his eyes wide open, Wei Tu slapped the willow tree planted in the yard into two pieces with one palm.

In the provincial examination, Wu Juren was appointed as an official.

The chieftain of Wu confers a seventh-rank military officer, which is the same as the official position of a county magistrate.

The top [-] were awarded the eighth-rank officer, which is the same as the position of the assistant officer of the county government.

Once he has completed his health-preserving skills, it is not difficult to get the top [-] in martial arts rankings by training his inner qi from the outside and inside, entering the state of feeling qi.

"Patience for three years first."

Weitu walked into the house and asked Xinghua to keep her appointment certificate carefully.

"Military envoy..."

"Brother Wei, you have finally come out on top."

When Xinghua saw the letter of appointment, her reaction was different from Weitu's. She didn't know the twists and turns of the appointment of a military officer.

"Yeah, I've come out on top."

When Wei Tu saw the smile on Xinghua's face, most of the gloom in his heart disappeared suddenly, and his mentality returned to calm.

Yes, he was suppressed by He Zhifu.

But at this time, compared to last year, his status and class have obviously jumped a lot, and his life has also undergone earth-shaking changes...

There's no need to worry too much about these little things.

After all, he has a "late bloomer" fate, and after a few years, he will be able to stand up again. If he cares about these small things, it has no other purpose except to embarrass himself.
