Chapter 249 Snobbery Makes People Compete

When Gao Wen first joined the Hancheng County Government as a small official, he was poor and destitute, all his thoughts were on how to climb up, and he was ruthless in doing things.Later, when he gained fame and became the master of Juzi, his mentality naturally calmed down.

He really understands the thoughts of people like An Ganlu too well. A person who is ruthless enough can always make people look up to him.

Yes character ah!
An Ganlu has been in the yamen all her life, has no background or backing, and has always been a character ridiculed and damaged by everyone. Today, she finally saw a trace of admiration in Gao Wen's eyes, and suddenly felt a sense of retribution.

He said: "Although the governor only has the honor of raising others, his subordinates can see that you have high ambitions and are not willing to be inferior to others. Although you can pass the imperial examination to become an official in the future, who can say clearly about the things in the examination room! How many applicants are preparing for the exam in the capital, not to mention 3000 or [-], there are always more than a thousand candidates, but how many candidates can be selected every three years. Besides, each province does not know how many tribute students will be awarded each term. How can the governor dare to guarantee it? You will definitely be able to pass the next exam. Maybe you will pass the exam several times in a row, but there will be no results."

"Even if you win in the future, I don't know how many years later, are these days going to be wasted between the official documents of this yamen?"

"Besides, even if you win a Jinshi, getting a seventh-rank imperial official is just the beginning. To be honest, in the capital, an official of the seventh rank is nothing at all. It's better for the governor to forge ahead from now on. Why bother?" Wait until you get a Jinshi before making any plans?"

"As long as you take this opportunity to overthrow Shi Guangxian, and your masters Shu Richang and Xu Bianxiu are working hard in the court, you may not be able to fight for the position of the head of the Ministry of Rites and the Priests of the Ministry of Rites. It is the position of the sixth grade, isn't it? Is it better than getting a Jinshi in the exam, starting from the seventh rank?"

"Of course, the imperial examination is the right way. Governor, you have to take the exam in the future, at worst, the hall will be locked."

Gao Wen looked at An Ganlu's hot eyes, his heart was moved, and he said: "This is a bad word, I am not allowed to be an official unless I am a Jinshi, this is the rule."

An Ganlu: "Governor, rules are rules, but they are laws. Since the founding of the country, our court has never said that non-jinshi are not allowed to be officials. In the early years of the country, there was even a precedent for Liang Chang as a big official in the frontier. .As for the local government, there are so many people from the county prime minister to the magistrate who have made great achievements to become an official. Why don't people say it? At that time, the governor, you will be the only innocent person in the department. If you say something, you will be promoted to this position.”

"Governor, those who achieve great things should not stick to small details. Once the opportunity comes, naturally we can't let it go. If the governor is willing to accomplish this, the subordinates are willing to help."

Gao Wen: "Let me think about this matter before making a decision." To be honest, although the relationship between him and Mr. Shi is not very good, the two of them only stay in the position of ignoring each other, and it is not a matter of life and death. .If you listen to An Ganlu's insistence, it will kill many people's heads.God has the virtue of loving life, but he is unwilling to do this kind of thing.

An Ganlu was concerned, she was confused, not only retreated without understanding, but asked further: "What is the governor planning to do next, just give orders."

Gao Wen: "The time has not come, the time has not come."

An Ganlu: "I don't know what the governor is still waiting for? According to my subordinates, it is better to write this matter as a memorial, and ask Xu to edit it or Shu Hanlin to pass it directly to the emperor, and impeach the officials of the shrine to worship the officials. The subordinates don't believe it. There is no place for reasoning in this world, how can those corrupt officials deceive Sheng Cong?"

It turned out that the Anshu Office had this idea, not to mention that Xu Youzhen was being left out in the cold and was worrying about herself.Even if he was not left out in the cold by the court, with Lao Xu's temperament that puts all interests first, he is absolutely unwilling to get involved in the affairs of the vassal king, wouldn't that be causing trouble for himself?It is conceivable that Gao Wen will definitely be scolded by Mr. Xu when the time comes.

As for Shu Richang, Gao Wen only had the status of teacher and student with him, and had no friendship at all, and he would not care about it.

Well, you An Ganlu, for the sake of a small workshop of your own, you have to use all the background and strength at hand, and you have to use all the officials in the entire department. Are you crazy?Moreover, even if I am willing to do this, the benefit I get in the end is that I may take Shi Guangxian's position as the head of the sixth rank.Possibility does not mean certainty, and it is too far-fetched.

A small workshop, no, I'm afraid things are not that simple.

Suddenly, Gao Wen's heart moved, as if he had grasped something, he smiled: "All the incense candles and magic utensils for the temple priest should be bought at your workshop. Did they make a lot of money? This time the court repaired the Sanggan River, and the diversion did not know how many roads and city gods would be sacrificed. By the way, the graves of the people had to be moved, and a few Feng Shui rituals were done. Not a small expense. No wonder Mr. Shi's wife and brother are jealous. The project is about to start soon, and there is no time to open another workshop, so they simply go to find your bad luck and force you to give up the workshop to him. You say, don't you? What a snobbish Making people fight, cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents, no wonder An Shuban hates Master Shi to the bone."

That's right, the Ming court was actually quite poor, and its financial expenditure was also closely watched.Therefore, as long as there are government procurement projects, there are fixed points.For example, the examination papers and books needed by the Imperial College had to be printed in a fixed bookstore; the medicinal materials needed by the Imperial Hospital were only purchased from a few large-scale pharmacies in the capital.In this way, quality traceability can be carried out to the greatest extent.

There are a lot of tricks in government procurement. These points are all related to the government, or they are simply handled by the officials themselves.Therefore, they dare to sell ten pennies for a penny, and the profits are huge.

Of course, these purchase points need to be approved first when they are set up, and a certain amount has been approved. You can’t just add one if you want to. This is why Qin Liangcai went to seize the Ganlu Workshop.A workshop itself is not worth a few dollars, what is valuable is its supplier qualifications.

Hearing Gao Wen expose this point, An Gan showed his face flushed, and said: "If Governor Gao can accomplish this, I would like to give 500% of the dry shares to the master. Although the workshop under him is small, there is still three to five hundred taels of profit every year. This time After He Gong sacrifices, he can get several hundred taels again."

Gao Wen: "Let's talk about it again. It's the same sentence. The time has not come. I'll talk about it when I get down. I'll talk about it later." The profit is only a few hundred taels a year.

An Ganlu had no choice but to retreat depressedly.

With such a delay by him, it was completely dark.Gao Wen was a careful person, so he naturally didn't spend dinner in Sili's kitchen, so he took a sedan chair and went home to see if he could catch up.

The ancients ate dinner late, but when they got home, they saw Kitty Ying fleeing from the kitchen in a state of embarrassment, crying and coughing, but there was thick smoke billowing inside.

Gao Wen asked with a smile: "What the hell are you doing, Xiaoying, do you want to set fire to my house?"

Little Eagle's face was full of ashes, and he shouted angrily: "Miss Yan didn't know what happened today, but she didn't bring food. I couldn't wait at home, and I still didn't see anyone. I was so hungry that I couldn't bear it, so I had to Cook yourself."

"When did you, a famous arrester, cook and you didn't know to go to the street to eat when you were hungry?"

Xiaoying: "I'm not thinking about you, sir. I said that going to the street to drink and make me happy, but what should I do if you come back with an empty stomach?"

Gao Wen frowned: "What the hell is Huaihua doing, she is a reliable person, she has to deduct money."
