Chapter 169 You can buy as long as you have money

The Tongzong next to him scolded: "General Shi, he has surpassed him. What you are asking about the power of the local officials."

Zhang Shuye frowned and replied kindly: "At present, more than a thousand houses have been affected, either arsonized or robbed, and the number of people affected is about 20,000... Fortunately, the unrest is controlled in Dongcheng District, and the candidates who took the exam are not frightened."

It doesn't matter how many people die, they are all nonsense. Only the safety of the reserve civil servants - the imperial examination candidates - is related to the rise and fall of the country. Zhang Shuye's words attracted unanimous agreement. Tongzong Military Supervisor's Piao Tianwenxue - expressed his agreement.

Later, Zhang Shuye stroked his beard and thought: "Next, the city should be closed for three days to search for the remaining members of the criminals. In addition, if this group of criminals attacks the prefecture, it is impossible for the countryside to respond. Tomorrow, the yamen runners and the utility will go to the countryside to organize a group training and order the villages to watch and help each other to prevent criminals from taking the opportunity to cause trouble."

Lord Tongzong praised Zhang Shuye's cautiousness, but as a Jianzhou, he had to express his own opinion. Lord Tongzong next to him thought for a little while and immediately chose the irrelevant part, saying: "The autumn examination is coming, and now it is the tea trading season. Haizhou's tax revenue this year is all about tea trading. It's too much to close the city for three days, so let's close the city for one day."

Uncle Zhang narrowed his eyes and looked at the Lord Tongzong: "Since the Lord Tongzong said that, then just shut down the city for a day."

The officials cheered in unison, exaggerating that Uncle Ye is great and wise. The magistrate Zhang Shuye narrowed his eyes and enjoyed the compliments of everyone. Then he opened his eyes and looked at the team of Shi Chuan: "The situation in the countryside is unclear, and it is difficult for the imperial guards to move, so he can only count on the yamen runners and everyone's utility. Shi Dalang's courage this time made me admire him. I plan to select ten yamen runners as the leader and cooperate with the yamen runners to go to the countryside to stabilize the people's sentiments. However, everyone is a general and it seems that it is difficult to command each other. I have several officials who accompany Rong's lieutenant and the deputy lieutenant. These officials come from the Suzhou Envoy Bureau Tong Envoy (Tong Guan)..."

The Tongzong quickly spoke on the side: "The Tong Envoy sells such official titles for about 1,000 guan. You are brave enough to work in this quelling rebellion. We will give you this opportunity, 1,000 guan. You will be in office after paying the money."

County Magistrate Meng heard the sale of official positions and twisted in grievance. The lieutenant of Rong and Deputy lieutenant of Rong were from the ninth rank military officer. Poor County Magistrate Meng served for more than ten years, working diligently and loyally, and finally promoted to a county lieutenant for office - from the ninth rank.

A thousand guan can buy the Meng County Magistrate’s hard work for over the years. Although the Meng County Magistrate’s salary is only more than five guan, this thousand guan is equivalent to his salary for more than 30 years. It seems... But how can one measure his own blood, sweat and hard work by money?

This incident made him feel very uncomfortable... He was very angry and wanted to cry.

However, before Zhang Shuye finished speaking, he looked at Shi Chuan and smiled and said, "General Shi led more than 30 people to turn the tide this time. Although I cannot reward merits, I am willing to reward you with a grace. I have two civil servants in my hands. For the ninth-rank Chengxin Lang and Yuanwailang, they are also sold for one thousand steadiaries. You go back and raise money."

Tong Guan sold his official title in Suzhou. He did not sell it for himself, but for the current government. The amount sold entered the private account of the government's family - that is, the inner treasury. Tong Guan not only sold his official title himself, but also put tasks to nearby prefectures and counties. The official title he sold was a position official, which was only equivalent to a title, only grade and no salary, and it was impossible to obtain a job with this official title.

However, not anyone is qualified to buy such official titles. Tong Guan stipulates that only wealthy businessmen who have paid a certain amount of taxes are qualified to buy official titles from him. In other words, you can't buy such official titles with money - so Zhang Shuye said that he would give meritorious lieutenants a reward, giving them the opportunity to buy such official titles with clear price.

The official titles sold by Tong Guan were not only popular in Suzhou, but were boycotted by officials from all over the world in other places... Just kidding, in the eyes of local officials, the official titles I have studied hard for ten years can be bought with three or two.

Although this official title is from the ninth rank, Su Shi and Su Dongpo obtained the title of top scholar, and still started from the lowest rank to the ninth rank official. As for the master of Neo-Confucianism, Cheng Qian, the master of Cheng Men Lixue, wanted to receive a ninth rank treatment for life, but it was unavailable. Now you can buy one as long as you have money. How can those from Jinshi be willing?

Now Zhang Shuye has spoken. This stubborn old Shaanxi, a Jinshi who has been with the magistrate of the Nine-rank county for twelve years, is willing to help Tong Guan sell his official title. Although the magistrate of Jianzhou agrees loudly, he can't help but secretly despise himself: "What a gentle and scum."

Who knew that there was something even more surprising - Shi Chuan Shi Changqing, a famous fool who claimed to be the "No. 1 hero in Haizhou", spread his hands and answered with a sloppy answer: "One thousand guan, one million yuan... I'm tight recently, can I owe it?"

The officials were so angry that they fell to their senses, but before they got up, Zhang Shuye's answer made them fall down completely. Zhang Shuye replied without stopping: "It's okay, Changqing, you can owe it first."

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Shuye swept his eyes to the team of men, and he stretched out five fingers: "I will give you five places, you just need to divide them yourself."

The magistrate rushed forward and whispered to remind the magistrate: "Dayin, you have a lot of official duties. You are just selling official duties. As for allowing debts, it's too much..."

Zhang Shuye smiled and looked at County Magistrate Meng. Under the urging of the magistrate, County Magistrate Meng, who "mastered Haizhou and signed official business (acting to act in Haizhou County Magistrate)", explained extremely depressedly: "That fool is actually rich. He has four shops under his name and a piece of land in the countryside. I can take this guy for a few days, and a thousand guan can be obtained."

The judge opened his mouth in shock: "Some time ago, someone sued him for taking over black slaves. I transferred the files of General Shi. I remember that he settled in Haizhou after the Taohuaguan incident. It is said that he has forgotten his past love... In just a few months, this guy has earned a thousand-civilian family? You all say he is a fool. I don't think he is stupid, but I have been an official for many years. Now I have only five, six, seven, eight or nine hundred, and the speed of this guy making money... If he is a fool, what is my official?"

Zhang Shuye rolled his eyes secretly and said to himself: Stop teasing, you are a sixth-rank official, a officials of duty, a servant, a large number of officials sent to you, and one official title receives a salary... Oh, you are still a genuine Haizhou Tuanshi. The salary is added up to several salary, and you only earn 200 guan a month. You said you only have an estimated net worth of 800 guan, who will you cheat?

The Meng County Magistrate was also extremely depressed. He now received four salary, but unfortunately the highest salary was "Quanzhi Haizhou and County Affairs". The salary slip was a salary of 5,000 yuan. The sum of the mixed amount was only about 20,000 yuan. With this monthly salary, he had to eat or drink for five or six years before he could earn the same amount of money as his time.

And all this has been done in a few months. How come it is not depressing to think about it?

"We are not as good as a fool," Meng County Magistrate blurted out.

Uncle Zhang didn't want to continue this embarrassing topic, so he waved his hand and ordered the utility to retreat. Shi Chuan bowed and bowed, leading the team to the side to count the battle items.

The counting of the head level was completed, and several functions were winking at Li Yan. Li Yan thought for a while and sighed: "Thirty-one of us rushed into the battlefield. We have good fortune and hardships along the way. Now we can't ruin the loyalty of our brothers. Take it out."

Several Utility was hesitant and reluctantly took out some fragments from their arms, mostly gold, silver and jewelry. Li Yan quickly explained: "The original Utility killed the enemy, and the property on the enemy will be the income from the Utility. The general went to work alone, not knowing the rules here. This time you rushed forward and only asked the brothers to cut their heads. The brothers collected the corpses of the criminals according to the past practice..."

A general quickly added: "Those gangsters have occupied Dongcheng for a long time, and their bodies are bulging. The brothers searched for it. To estimate it roughly, each gangster has about 300 stagnant of property - this wealth was taken by Dalang, and we are willing to take it out and share it with Dalang."

Shi Chuan was most concerned about how to allocate the bounty. He replied: "It will not be evenly divided... How have you always distributed it when you encounter such a thing?"

The utility laughed, and they looked at Li Yan, who explained with a thorn in mind: "According to the convention, half of this money belongs to the leader, and the leader lets the leader reward - even if the leader does not reward, he swallows all of it himself, and everyone has no choice but to complain.

Ah, as for the other half, it is divided equally by the rest of the participants—this is a convention.”

Shi Chuan nodded: "Then calculate how much money each person gets on average, how much each person gets. The three team leaders will get another equal reward from the reward I get. Pioneer - such as General Li and the dead gunman, add a double reward. In addition, select three best people from each group, and I will add five rewards as rewards. What do you think of this distribution plan?"

Everyone bowed together: "General, he is so generous."

Are you generous? Shi Chuan looked at these ungreedy Song people with satisfaction.

Fifty percent of the total income is distributed by thirty people, and the other fifty percent is dominated by Shi Chuan. Even Shi Chuan rewards Li Yan twice the average bonus, and then rewards three team leaders with an average, and nine excellent people each get half an average. How much is this spent? The big head is still Shi Chuan's outfit in his pocket.

So, in the chaotic battlefield, a common scene in the Song Dynasty appeared: a group of generals, bounty hunters from the Song Dynasty squatted in the corner, first counted the number of heads, and then counted the seized property. Everyone divided the property and took the heads to Zhang Shuye to receive the reward... In the end, the other functions were allocated to 500 guan, and Shizhang got 1,300 guan.

Later, the ten "Ninth-rank military officers" sold by Zhang Shuye were also allocated. Among the team led by Shi Chuan, three team leaders and Li Yan occupied four places, and another place was running from the outstanding ones... As for Shi Chuan himself, he quickly took the results of this battle to Zhang Shuye, paid 800 trump cards, and bought a "Chengxinlang" official position at a 20% discount at a clear price. Then he happily led two child servants and led the war horses to his house. He couldn't help but be happy along the way: This transaction is worth it. No wonder, although the Song Dynasty had two mutinies and rebellions every year, it could not become a big climate every time. There is no way, there are too many landlords and too many bounty hunters.

Hey, what's going on? There are fighting sounds and gunshots in the direction of our house
