Idle courtiers

Chapter 56 The official position sent to your door (please recommend a ticket)

In ancient times, once a woman heard her parents mention her marital affairs.If you are very satisfied with the other party, you will have a shy face: "The important things in life are up to the parents." If you are not satisfied, you will say: "My daughter wants to serve her parents for a few more years."

When encountering a hero who saves the beauty, if you have a secret promise, you will say: "The little girl has nothing to repay the hero's life-saving grace, so she can only promise it with her body." If the hero looks like Li Kui and Zhang Fei, then say: "Xiong The little girl has no way of repaying her life-saving grace, but she can only repay this great kindness by being a cow or a horse in the next life."

This has become an established routine and pattern. Zhou Nan couldn't understand this sentence from the black and strong girl in front of him.

As an ordinary man, being seen by other women must be a small pride, at least it shows that he is still very attractive to the opposite sex.

But being liked by such an ugly girl is not very pleasant.Since Zhou Nan traveled to the Ming Dynasty, all the women he met were beautiful women.He is also vulgar, with standard face control.I like beautiful skins, but I don't have much interest in interesting souls.

Besides, that's the distance between Mars and Earth between a goofy girl and a funny soul.

Shi Qianshi laughed loudly: "Sanya, go down, this matter is on uncle, don't worry."

When Sanya went down, he said to Zhou Nan: "Dianli Zhou, you and I are good brothers now. How about Sanya marrying you?"

Zhou Nan was shocked: "Governor Shi's kindness is appreciated, but I have my own wife. If I accept the third lady, I have wronged her. I can only apologize." I want to accept your niece again.How can you be willing to be a generation shorter than you?
"Haha, haha, how can my niece of Shi Qianshi be a concubine? You think too much." Shi Qianshi laughed, pointed at Zhou Nan and said, "You have a good idea, even if Sanya wants to marry you, she must marry you." The matchmaker is getting married, and eight sedan chairs are carried to the entrance."

Zhou Nan was annoyed: "Governor Shi, my old wife and I are friends in need, and she has not committed the seven crimes. How can she be kicked out? I am sorry. Today, the governor did not say this, and I Zhou Nan Didn't hear you, excuse me!"

Just stood up and wanted to leave.

Shi Qianshi turned his face and shouted: "Are you really not giving face?"

Zhou Nan was too lazy to talk nonsense and cupped his hands.

Shi Qianshi snorted, and a clerk from the governor's office stretched out his hand to block Zhou Nan's way.

Zhou Nan raised his eyebrows: "Why, does the governor want to keep me, Zhou Nan?"

Suddenly, Shi Qianshi sighed: "Zhou Li, Master Zhou, please listen to me. I don't mean to ask you to divorce your wife. Your wife is still your wife. However, Sanya will marry you after a hundred years. , her name is included in your Zhou family's genealogy, what do you think?"

"Ping wife?" Zhou Nan's heart moved, and he immediately understood.

The term Ping Wife is a unique product of the market culture in the Ming Dynasty.The reason why modern men envy the ancients is that they can have three wives and four concubines, and enjoy the blessings of being equal in a reasonable and legal way.In fact, this is a misunderstanding of later generations.

The ancients could have many women, but they could only have one wife. This is the so-called polygamy.The wife is the absolute authority in the family, and the status of being a concubine is only better than that of a servant, and the children born cannot call the concubine the mother.

Therefore, the new thing of flat wives came into being. After the flat wives marry you, they don't come into your house because they buy another house outside, and their status is equal to that of the big wives.

Shi Qianshi: "I can see that Sanya likes Master Zhou, and you are also a good person. Yes, that's what it means. Sanya will be your wife, and I will give her a large dowry. I'll buy you a yard to live in. As for your original wife, who lives in the country, everyone doesn't interfere with the river, what do you think?"

Yunniang's good and big wife is now going to become an ordinary wife. In the eyes of future generations, she has all her rights, so it doesn't matter.But Zhou Nan felt that she had been wronged too much.

Besides, if he was asked to marry such a stupid girl as Sanya, Zhou Nan felt a strong physical resentment at the thought of spending time with her day and night in the future.

He shook his head again and again: "Sorry, sorry!"

Shi Qianshi: "Do you think my niece is ugly?" Seeing that Zhou Nan was speechless, he shouted: "Man, what are you talking about? What are the ink stains? Sanya is ugly, straight to his mother, any man would be disgusted if he saw it." Disgusting. But so what, as the saying goes, a wife must be in good health to give birth to a strong child, and it doesn’t matter if she is ugly or not. It is a man’s good luck to have an ugly wife in his family. A concubine who is beautiful is refreshing, but you are also a scholar, and you can't even figure out this truth. Don't worry, I won't let you be wronged in the slightest."

He said loudly: "Do you want an official position from the eighth rank, or from Yan Dao?"

"What?" Zhou Nan couldn't help but let out a low cry, his body shook, and he turned around.

Seeing him in such a state, Shi Qianshi thought to himself: He really is an ambitious guy. This guy originally wanted to be an official, so it will be easy.

He grabbed Zhou Nan and asked him to sit down: "Master Zhou, why don't you drink and talk about this matter? If you marry Sanya from my family, I promise to let you become an official. Although the grade is low at the beginning, you can be smart There's also my background, let's join hands, and we will live ten or eight years, maybe Master Zhou, you will be a seventh-rank or even a seventh-rank official to honor your Zhou family."

Zhou Nan: "I would like to hear the details."

Shi Qianshi: "I invited you here today, didn't I ask you to help me transfer to the Changlu Salt Field during the official activities? Once I leave, the governor's position will be vacant. Since you are my niece and son-in-law, why don't you fill me in?" Take this vacancy?"

After talking for a long time, Shi Qianshi revealed his old background.It turned out that his old boss was Hu Guiqi, who had the title of Thousands of Brocade Clothes.

This Hu Guiqi is an unknown little person in history, but he has a powerful father—now Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of War and Zuoqian Capital Censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Governor of Jiazhi and Zhejiang, Governor of Zhejiang, Nanzhili and Fujian Hu Zongxian, who is in charge of military affairs.

Hu Guiqi is the eldest son of Hu Zongxian, and he is fighting with his father on the front line of Zhejiang and Fujian.

The reason why Shi Qianshi was able to be the governor of Yandao was because of the support of his old boss.No wonder this bird man is so domineering, he doesn't sell anyone's account, it turns out that he has such a powerful background.Although the Hu family may not remember his name, but when others beat a dog, they still have to look at the owner, and they are not willing to offend easily.

What he meant was that he wanted to be transferred back to his hometown. After he left, he could send a letter to Zhejiang to do some activities and ask Zhou Nan to fill in the vacancy.

Immediately, Zhou Nan's eyes lit up, and he opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but nothing came out.

Shi Qianshi waved his hand suddenly, and said with a laugh: "Master Zhou, this is a big matter, so you don't have to rush to answer, think about it first. Come and drink, drink."

After a feast of wine, the sky was completely dark, and Zhou Nan was also drunk.Shi Qianshi arranged for Zhou Nan to live in the guest room on the second floor of the attic, telling him to think about it and come back early tomorrow morning to listen to his reply.

As soon as Shi Qianshi left, although Zhou Nan's head was dizzy from drinking, there was an abnormal excitement in his heart, and he couldn't fall asleep no matter what.

The acquisition of official positions in the Ming Dynasty is generally divided into two ways: imperial examination and grace. The imperial examination is easy to understand.If you want to be an official, you first have to take the exam and get the honor of juren, so that you can become a county magistrate from the seventh rank.To reach the first level of the official rank of the imperial court, one must be a Jinshi.When the ministers of the ministries and even join the cabinet, there are strict requirements for the examination results of the Jinshi Department. You must enter the Imperial Academy.As the saying goes, non-Jinshi cannot be an official, and non-Hanlin cannot enter the cabinet.

In addition to the imperial examinations, there is also grace.That is to say, if you are the son of a prince with a title, you can inherit the title of your ancestor after your father dies; or, your father has made great contributions to the country, and the emperor issued a decree to reward you with an official position.For example, Hu Guiqi, the son of Hu Zongxian, has the title of Jinyiwei Qianhu.

Zhou Nan was dismissed because of the crime, and the imperial examination is no longer feasible.It's not the second generation of officials, and there is no possibility of grace.Thinking of him being so ordinary, how difficult it is to step into the ranks of officials from a clerk.

Now a huge opportunity is in front of him, and with the backing of Hu Zongxian and the Hu family, it is probably not difficult to be an official.

Don't forget, there is Yan Song standing behind Mr. Hu.

Although Yan and Hu will collapse in two years, the Yan Party will also be cleaned up.But if I become the governor, I am just a small person, and I am not afraid that political struggles will not fall on me.Besides, even if one day, with one's own means and foresight of history, there must be a way to deal with it.

This is an official from the eighth rank, although it doesn't sound like much.However, the boundary between officials and officials in the Ming Dynasty was like a gap. If you want to change from an official to an official, this step is very critical.

As long as he becomes an official official, Zhou Nan has the confidence to go up step by step, achieve a career, and display his ambitions.

Taking a ten thousand step back, even if my future officialdom is not going well, it's okay to stay in this position of the eighth-rank governor for the rest of my life!

This is the official of Yandao, this is the most lucrative position in the world!
As far as Zhou Nan was chatting with Shi Qianshi earlier, he learned that Shi's annual salary is only two or three taels of silver, but the outside water has gone to the sea.

The first item of income is the various subsidies distributed by the superiors, which add up to at least a hundred taels; the filial piety and blending of salt merchants also cost five or six hundred; seven hundred.

Straight mother thief, one thousand and sixty dollars a year.

What kind of concept is this, converted into the price of rice, and then converted into the RMB of later generations, it is 100 million.

With an annual income of one million, even in the first-tier metropolises of modern society, he can be considered a successful person in his career.In Andong County in the Ming Dynasty, that was a character walking sideways. ,

A big man must not be without power for a day, and a young man must not be without money for a day.As the governor, rich and powerful, why not do it?
Opportunity, great opportunity!

Zhou Nan was so excited that she almost cried out, but when she thought of Sanya's round face like a persimmon, it was like being poured with a basin of cold water on her head—my sacrifice was too great, was it worth it, was it worth it?
For a moment, he felt that heaven and man were at war, and it was really hard to tell.

This is the way to achieve peace in the world, to live up to the Tathagata and not to lose one's heart.

After thinking for a long time, Zhou Nan gritted his teeth fiercely: "I scolded the neighbor next door. He dared to change the face of the sun and the moon because of his ambition to sacrifice. If you are willing, if you are willing, you will gain if you are willing. Isn't it just to accept a woman, just grit your teeth and pass!" When we look at people, we can’t just look at the appearance, we have to look at the beauty of the heart! There is never a lack of beauty in the world, what is lacking is the eyes to discover beauty.”

"Although Sanya is ugly, it's okay? Close your eyes——Zhang Manyu."

However, Yunniang felt a little sorry for her.

Thinking of her, Zhou Nan felt a little ashamed, and couldn't sleep anymore, and after baking sesame seed cakes on the bed for a long time, his whole body hurt from sleeping.He just stood in front of the window naked and drank a pot of herbal tea.

Suddenly, the lights over there were brightly lit, and then a group of people shouted loudly: "Catch the thief, catch the thief!"

"The thief is so daring, he actually stole into Governor Shi's house and took it down!"

"The governance of the Ming Dynasty is worrying!" Zhou Nan shook his head.

At this time, the sound of chaotic footsteps came from far and near, and someone shouted again: "Hurry up, hurry up, the thief has fled to the side of the Nuan Pavilion!"

Zhou Nan was startled, the thief came towards me, but I had to guard against him jumping over the wall in a hurry.He didn't care about getting dressed right now, so he just ran downstairs and pulled out the latch.

Let go of your baggage and get ready to fight.
