What Cao Cao said was not exaggerated, and to some extent, he was a little conservative.
The actual situation is that Shandong is full of ups and downs, and the inner volume is very severe.
Who doesn't want to make a name for himself?
In the case of many competitors, who will be elected and who will not be elected, and what to say?
Fame?
Even if fame is a true representation of talent, how does fame come into being?
In the final analysis, it is money.
This degree of intra-revolution ultimately leads to officials being greedy for money. The more capable they are, the more they are able to respect their superiors and get promoted...
When Cao Cao was managing Qiao County, there were still many places in Jizhou operating according to inertia. Cao Cao had just conducted two or three tests in Jizhou, but soon, the selection of such tests stopped.
Because among these officials who passed the exam, these poor families soon had various problems such as "incompetence", "incompetence", etc., and even corruption was captured on the scene, which made many rural sages jump up and down again, "Talk to obtain talent" and "measure people to measure virtue"!
All of them are right, we should pay attention to "virtue and virtue", but where do these "virtue and virtue" come from?
Without navy...well, special people have made special comments, how many ordinary people can get these reputations?
Therefore, Cao Cao finally managed to overcome all obstacles and found that he had opened a new path, but not many people went around. Many people went around and walked back to the old path.
When Cao Cao wants to change, it means that he has to go against everyone.
From the emperor to the people. Well, this people refer to the children of the gentry, not ordinary Guizhou heads. After all, in the Han Dynasty, some Guizhou heads did not even have names, so they naturally could not be called "people".
These officials who operated under the old system did not mean that they had no chance of promotion at all.
But these promotion opportunities, as usual, cost money...
For example, Li Pan’s brother Li Cheng is preparing to "promote".
Li Pan took a relatively risky path, and as his brother Li Cheng, he naturally had to take a safe path. Li Cheng had to cut with Li Pan, at least on the surface, and then as Li Pan's retreat.
Many gentry families do this, and bet from multiple parties.
Therefore, when Li Pan was causing trouble in Yanzhou and Yuzhou, Li Cheng silently gave money to a small official in Jizhou.
Well……
It cannot be said that it was donated, but that it was self-recommendation.
Li became a member of the Han Dynasty, in order to be loyal to the prime minister, to do his best to the common people in Jizhou, and to contribute his meager strength to the prosperity of Qinghe County. He specially conducted effective "communication" with the magistrate of Qinghe County, and won the praise of the magistrate of Qinghe County and obtained a position.
Every autumn and winter, there are always some indicators that cannot be completed, that is, officials who fail to pass the performance appraisal, and then they are not favored by their superiors and have no special care.
Normally, it is very difficult for officials in Shandong who do not know how to please superiors and do not get favored by superiors. This difficulty is not only a difficult problem in doing things, but also in the fact that after doing things and doing things well, they cannot get positive feedback.
The agricultural harvest reached the standard, and the superior took a look and said, "Little official, what's wrong with you? The water conservancy is so bad?"
Of course, if the water conservancy repair meets the standards, the superiors will aim to other places, and they can always find some problems.
On the contrary, if you can win the favor of your superiors, then the situation will be reversed. "Ah, this little official, although the farming and serenity are flawed, is the water conservancy project done well? Young people always have to give some opportunities and stage... "If nothing is done well, there is still a "serious and responsible attitude" as the guaranteed project.
So how can we communicate well with such a boss?
Of course, it costs money... uh, it takes time to communicate.
The same is true for Li Cheng.
It was really heartbreaking when the gold and silver flowers went out. He couldn't sleep all night. He felt tears in his eyes while touching the empty box, but when the sun rose the next day, he felt that he had come back to life and gained a new life.
The pain of the night, at dawn, he realized that one should not be too rigid in life. If the old ones don’t go, the new ones don’t come, the money will be the same as the husband and wife. Only when the old ones leave will the new ones come! Of course, old love is to love to the death, but new love can also love to the death!
Since his brother can take risks, take risks and make a fortune and make a future, he must of course be willing to give up the money and find a safe retreat for his family. I didn’t see that Xun’s family is one in the east, so what can Li Pan and Li Cheng brothers have two different attitudes and different styles of doing things?
But spending money, uh, communication is also about methods.
First, you need to find the right incense table and pay a right in front of the dock. You cannot turn over the table at will.
In the feudal dynasty, no matter which dynasty or which dynasty, those who turn the tables need great courage and perseverance. If you are not careful, you will be suppressed by the old forces. Even if it is true (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻, it is impossible to say that after a moment, someone secretly helped the table up again and continued to be in the original position┬—┬ノ('-'ノ).
For example, in the Big Braid Dynasty, the people in the forefront were afraid that the people below would lift the table, so on the one hand, it was said that it was very dangerous outside, there were many pirates and pirates, so everyone should not go, they could not change jobs, and it was very dangerous to quit jobs naked, and they were all traitors. On the other hand, they began to deduct food and pay, reduce delayed wages, increase working hours, and embezzled public funds to build a garden for themselves. They even thought that even if outsiders wanted to cut their own flesh on themselves, they would be more cute than those who lifted the tables below...
Similarly, in Qinghe County, there were some officials who were dismissed because of the preparation of agriculture and sericulture but not meeting the water conservancy standards, and Li Cheng successfully obtained one of the positions through pre-communication.
The position is not big, so there is no need to report to the court.
There are county magistrates under the county magistrates, and this position is generally held by local magistrates. There have always been sayings of county magistrates with steady flow of power and iron-clad county magistrates. However, not all local magistrates serve as county magistrates, and some serve as county magistrates. County magistrates are generally relatively independent and in more chaotic places, the power of county magistrates is even greater than that of county magistrates. Therefore, in some places, county magistrates are alone, and county magistrates are carried by local magistrates and magistrates and magistrates, which is also common.
As a county magistrate, most of his confidants are the chief clerk, and he cannot serve as a confidant.
Of course, in large counties like Qinghe County, there are also official positions similar to salt, iron, workers, water and so on, which are directly assigned by the Shaofu and are not included in the assignment scope of the county magistrate.
The county magistrates can usually designate their own self-designation, probably all kinds of followers, scholars, and rural slaughter men, and rank.
The position Li Cheng obtained was the slaughter.
If it were the level of later generations, it would be a village chief who was not big or small.
In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the local prefect had the authority to directly appoint local officials, and the local county magistrates also had the right to directly appoint county officials. It would be fine if they said it would be fine, and it would be fine if they didn't. As long as the communication was in place, everything would be fine.
Secondly, after the King of Hell worships, he still needs to worship the little devil. Before Li Cheng takes office, he still needs to go to the official office and prepare files to register and receive official robes and seals.
The official room was in the north of Qinghe County. When Li Cheng arrived here, he found that many officials from all over the world were coming and going, and he couldn't help but sigh. It's not a big county in Jizhou. Qinghe is really full of talents and bustling...
Li Cheng is also a little famous, so many people know him, and greet him warmly when they meet.
A little Shuzuo stepped forward and led Li Cheng inward with a smile. Li Cheng followed in a small step, and stuffed a small seal wrapped in five silver coins into Shuzuo's hand. This is a routine. Don't think that if someone gives a smile, you don't have to pay anything. You still have to give what you should give.
Shu Zuo seemed to weigh the weight of the red seal, and then a obviously more sincere smile appeared on his face.
『Please…』
Shu Zuo led Li Cheng to Yipin's room, then reached out and lifted the curtain, signaling Li Cheng to go in.
There were not many people in the room. After Xiao Shuzuo came in with Li Cheng, he greeted Li Cheng, guided him to queue up, and turned around and left.
Li Cheng gave up a little gift and sent Xiao Shuzuo away, thinking in his mind that this Shuzuo is not so cute, but then he can lead the way. But at least five or six or eight people in one day, and each person will give him some more or less. After this month... and then a year...
Hum? Li Cheng suddenly realized that he was now an internal person. He could not look at problems with a critical look like a local rural sage, nor could he just complain about these things. Just know these things.
He is already a person in the system. With an official position, he cannot care about these trivial matters. The countryside sages have become history. Now he wants to become a steady and trustworthy official in the system!
This change in role made Li Cheng feel a little emotionally volatile, but he controlled his expression and made his behavior look mature and steady, and he was not in a hurry.
After about an hour or two, Li Cheng was waiting for a little sore waist and legs, someone suddenly called Li Cheng's name loudly.
"Ahem, I'm here!" Li Cheng walked forward vigorously and calmly, walked into the inner room, preparing to formally bid farewell to the identity of a sage in the countryside, enter the political arena, and strive for the cause of the Han Dynasty for the rest of his life.
The inner room was not big. A leading Shu Zuo smiled. He first asked Li Cheng to show his identity certificate and instructor documents, and then found Li Cheng's name in a list on the desk. He nodded and then asked the other person to start filling in the blank official figure.
According to the rules of the Han Dynasty, there must be three certificates of official duties, one for me, and go to the place of instructing, one for the place of employment, and the other for filing, and the other for filing to a higher-level institution for reporting.
After writing, Shuzuo carefully looked at Li Cheng for a moment, and immediately described Li Cheng's appearance characteristics. Then he marked his appearance characteristics on a corner of the official body book, including but not limited to whether his eyes are big or small, whether his beard is goatee or three strands, and even a few moles on his face, all of which need to be written.
No wonder it takes so long to queue...
It's really cumbersome!
Li Cheng thought in his heart, but for some reason, the anxiety and impatientness that had been waiting before disappeared at this moment. He didn't think whether the process was long or not, but he just felt an unusual sense of satisfaction, as if he was stuffed with something.
Let the countryside sages go to the devil!
Li Cheng, who had spent a lot of communication costs before, seemed to feel that some value was reflected at this moment.
Finally, after all the official figures were written, Shu Zuo asked Li Cheng to take a look and check if there was any mistake in writing...
Li Cheng hurriedly stepped forward and looked closely. He looked at his head not at his own name, but at the word "Beiqiu Suifu". Then he saw his name, what hometown, appearance characteristics, etc.
Hum? I have so many moles on my face? Li Cheng's face changed a little, but he quickly comforted himself again. No matter what, people say that they have big moles on their chest, they have to take off their clothes to see them. My face looks like a mole!
good!
very good!
very good!
Very good!
Li Cheng was overjoyed and quickly reached out to take the one he belonged to, but heard Shu Zuo humming lightly, then glanced at Li Cheng and gave Li Cheng a stupid look...
Li Cheng suddenly realized and quickly took out another prepared red seal from his arms and placed it gently on the table. This red seal was obviously larger than the one who led the way before.
Shu Zuo shook his sleeves, and then he didn't seem to look at them at all. Just by gently brushing them, the red seal on the table disappeared instantly. Shu Zuo used a big sleeve technique and let go of his hand that was pressing down on his official certificate and signaled Li Cheng to continue walking backwards.
Go back?
Li Cheng looked up and saw a small door around the corner. He immediately understood. No wonder he had just seen people walking inside, not going out. It turned out that they were all out of this small door.
Li Cheng was holding the official certificate, then coughed, nodded to Shuzuo with a little majesty, and said goodbye.
Shu Zuo ignored Li Cheng anymore, but turned around and shouted the next person's name...
Li Cheng pushed open the small door, but found that he had walked to the outer courtyard. When he was not sure where he would go next, he saw someone waving to him not far from the left.
"The new nobleman?" asked the man.
Really good vision!
Li Cheng raised his head, coughed gently, and said in a tone that was as steady as possible, "Yes."
"Come here, please, get the seal here..." The man became more and more enthusiastic and invited him.
This place should be outside the official hall, but I don’t know whether it is the inner courtyard or the outer courtyard. Anyway, Li Cheng has never been here before, so I hope he will come again if he has the chance in the future.
Li Cheng followed the man into another room. When he entered the door, he was stunned. He saw that the room was full of clothes racks of all sizes, with many official robes and ribbons hanging on them, including new and old.
"Come on, nobleman, please show your certificate and let the young men prepare for the nobleman!" The man said with a smile.
Li Cheng coughed and carefully took out the official certificate in his arms.
"Oh...the new husband is appointed!"
The lieutenant Uchiku shouted loudly, and then he heard someone on the side responding, and then he used long and short forks to come out of the outer robe, cloak, belt, strap, head crown, etc. from the numerous robes...
Soon, a table was set up in a row.
Um?
Don't you need to measure your body height?
Oh, I understand that this type of clothing is definitely not customized separately like the prefectural magistrate. It is probably the same as the same size. I guess I have made a few common codes. These little officials will know that they are about the same size when they look at Li Cheng's body.
Li Cheng was about to reach out and try to see if the size of the official robe and crown is appropriate, but when his eyes flashed, the little official of Neikura stood in front of him and bowed with a smile and said, "Congratulations to the noble man for his success, congratulations to the noble man for his happiness, congratulations to the noble man for his success, congratulations to the noble man for his success, congratulations to the noble man for his success..."
Li Cheng was stunned. Is this money still necessary?
Chickens do not pee, each has their own way.
The beggar stretched out his hands to ask for money, and the thief stretched out his hands to ask for money. And the current stinger stretched out his hands, the same thing is to ask for money...
Li Cheng wanted to get angry for a moment!
Do you know who I am?
I am Li Cheng! I am a famous scholar in Jizhou!
It’s fine if you get a certificate of official duties in the inner study and give a red seal, but you still need money to get the official robe here!
It's really a good thing for uncle to bear...
Auntie can tolerate it too.
The next moment, Li Cheng gritted his teeth and took out his wallet.
Because he knew that the fees for communication before were given to the county magistrate, and now the scholars and internal warehouse officials he faced were all related to the county magistrate, or perhaps some relatives of the county magistrate’s wife...
These are the old rules.
Give!
It has reached the present moment, and it is not bad to tremble.
This is the third key point in the officialdom. Since you have to spend money, don’t act stingy. It’s like treating guests to dinner. In order to save a little, just pick some here and save a little over there. It seems like you have saved some money, but the feeling left to the guests may not be very good. In the end, it may be a guest, but the love has not yet been paid.
This is not a matter of one person, nor is it just an internal warehouse. Everyone does this, so once someone doesn't give it, it will immediately stand out.
After giving the money, the little official smiled and thanked the nobleman for rewarding him, which made Li Cheng feel a little more comfortable. Is it spending money just for comfort? If you don’t even feel comfortable and have a stern face, it would be boring.
"Neither, is this official seal going to be new or old?" The little official in Neikura smiled like a dog's tail flower.
Li Cheng sighed, "You need to add money to the new one, right?"
"Ah, noble, expert!" The little official in Neikuang's eyes lit up, "It's easy to say that they are all experts, less talk... New, give this number, and you are satisfied with it, the seal is also a price... By the way, there are official robes, official boots, etc. You can't just wear one set and never change it? The free one is the first set, the second set, the new one is the number, the old one is the number..."
Yes, there are rules for asking for money.
All of this is the rule.
The rules of money.
And once such rules are broken...
Will these people be happy, inside and out, including people like Li Cheng, be resentful?
If you are unhappy, if you will resent, who will such a person resent such a rule?
Happy New Year!
I wish you all good health in the new year! All diseases will fade away!
...
I'm too sheep.
To be honest, it is very uncomfortable to sheep.
Everyone's sheep have different symptoms.
Just like in my family, some people have fever, some people have coughs, some have pain all over the body, but I don’t have a fever, only my throat is very painful...
I also felt a lot when I wrote this chapter. I didn’t want to write it, but in the end I still felt that I wanted to write it out.
The asymptomatic advocated by the Brick Family. Anyway, no one in my family is "asymptomatic". Perhaps in the eyes of the Brick Family, as long as it is not serious, it is considered "asymptomatic"?
Anyone who understands it understands it.
Just like in the chapter, cutting off money is like killing parents!
How many people have lost money in Cao Cao's move?
Chapter completed!
