Chapter 44: Appointment of Military Attache (Please collect and read)

After reading the letter.

Wei Tu was a little surprised. The four brothers were fighting against Magistrate He at the time and decided not to join Wuyun Tower, thus withstanding a lot of pressure.

Now that he has offended Magistrate He, it would be unwise to join Wuyunlou...

"Then why does Fu Zhizhou mention this so much? Could it be because...the elders of Wuyun Tower offered too high a price..."

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

The Wu Xiucai of each class are the elites of the county, with a bright future. If the price of Wuyun Building is not too high, other Wu Xiucai will not join this martial arts sect and become a thorn in the eyes and flesh of the government.

“If you have two sides, you will be in trouble. No matter how high the price of Wuyun Building is, I will refuse it flatly!”

Wei Tu 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 a long time.

The two of them first united their front on the matter of rejecting Wu Yunlou, and then discussed the matter of "appointment certificate" for a while, and decided to raise a gift together and go to Jian Liang, a household official, to inquire about some inside information.

Seven or eight days have passed since the two of them changed their military status, but they have not yet received the "appointment certificate" from the county government.

Compared to previous years, this time is a bit later.

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

Hearing this, Wei Tu was not stubborn. After thanking Wei Fei, he went to the West Market in the county with him to buy gifts.

So.

They each cut three kilograms of mutton and two kilograms of pork, carried several boxes of cakes, and went to Jian Liang's house to pay a visit.

Jian Liang saw the generous gift and was very talkative. He immediately told the reason why the county government had not awarded them official titles.

"Brother Wei is a second-class martial arts scholar. According to the usual practice in previous years, he should be awarded the post of Cusi. This officer is a miscellaneous official. He is a civilian in the army and is not worthy of rank. However, in the Xiang army, it is still a good job. The wind can't blow and the rain can't. Can’t get wet…”

"Brother Wei is a third-class martial arts scholar. Although his official rank is not as good as that of Brother Wei, he can still get a military envoy who rewards merit and punishes crime."

"but now…"

At this point, Jian Liang shook his head and pointed in the direction of Fucheng.

“Two brothers, have you offended any big shot in Fucheng?” He lowered his voice and asked.

A subordinate official who is made of iron and an official who is quick-witted.

The Jian family has been a subordinate official for generations in Qingshan County. Although it is not a wealthy family in Qingshan County, its relationships are intricately connected and it is not afraid of high-ranking officials in the city.

Hence, Jian Liang did not have too many scruples when speaking.

"Offend?"

“The two of us have not offended anyone?”

When Wei Tu and Wei Fei arrived, they had guessed that Magistrate He was suppressing them, so they had already made up their excuses and made preparations.

When speaking, pretend to be dumbfounded.

Seeing this scene, Jian Liang immediately knew something in his mind. He nodded secretly and pointed out a clear path for Wei Tu and Wei Fei.

“The Xiang troops in Qingshan County are all managed by Xu County Lieutenant, and Xu County Lieutenant’s wife has always been greedy for money. Brother Wei and Brother Wei can just go to Butler Liu of Xu House and give him some money.”

"It's just that the money sent is just to issue letters of appointment to the two of you. It's hard to say whether the appointed officials are governors or military envoys."

He said.

Hear this.

Wei Tu and Wei Fei immediately expressed their gratitude to Jian Liang, and Wei Fei took out another ingot of silver from his 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 and thanked him.

There is someone in the yamen who is easy to do.

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

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

"I have accepted the gift, and the money is not needed." He added.

…

Leave Jian’s house.

Wei Tu and Wei Fei decided that it would be better sooner rather than later, so they went to the jewelry shop in the county without stopping. After selecting gifts, they came to the Xu residence where Xu County Lieutenant lived.

After taking care of Butler Liu of Xu’s house, Wei and Tu asked Butler Liu to give the gifts they selected to the wife of Lieutenant Xu.

In the afternoon of the same day, the two of them got the approval letter. Mrs. Xu asked them to wait at home. Soon, the county government's appointment letter would be issued.

So.

the next day.

Wei Tu was practicing Zhuang Kung Fu at home when he received a letter of appointment from the soldiers of the Xiang Army.

He opened it and took a look.

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

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

Wei Tu thought.

Only third-class martial arts scholars will be awarded the military attache level of "Dujun Envoy".

He is a second-class martial arts scholar, and the military attache position he was awarded is at the level of "Advisor".

“The appointment of officials is the second step. The county government cannot keep delaying it. Why is the real suppression of the four of us by the prefecture is promotion..."

Wei Tu sighed secretly.

For example, those martial scholars like them who participated in military examinations and achieved fame were popular among the local armies. After being appointed as miscellaneous officials, their promotion speed was not slow.

Within ten years, he is expected to become a ninth-grade official.

Within twenty years, he is expected to be an eighth-grade official.

But because of Magistrate He's intervention, if they had no chance in their lifetime, they would have to stay at the bottom of the Xiang Army until death, with no hope of promotion.

Even if Magistrate He is transferred and leaves Qingfeng Prefecture a year later, it will not help.

In the system, if you don’t do something, you won’t make mistakes.

In the officialdom of Qingfeng Prefecture, the legacy of He Zhifu is still there. Therefore, even if He Zhifu's people leave the tea, their remaining power can still suppress them, the martial arts scholars who came from poor families, and make them stand out all their lives. No end.

“But...I’m different.”

“As long as I pass the next rural examination and become a martial arts examiner, the officialdom of Qingfeng Prefecture will not be able to suppress me!”

Wei Tu's eyes were shining brightly, and he slapped the willow tree planted in the courtyard into two pieces with one palm.

The township trial martial arts officer.

The military chief conferred the title of seventh-grade military attache, which is the same as the official position of a county magistrate.

The first twenty are awarded to eighth-grade officials, which are the same as the assistant officials in the county government.

Once he has perfected his health-preserving skills, he can cultivate his inner qi from the outside to the inside, enter the state of feeling qi, and achieve the top twenty in the martial arts rankings. It is not difficult.

“Be patient for three years first.”

Wei Tu walked into the house and asked Xinghua to keep the letter of her appointment carefully.

“The military envoy…”

“Brother Wei, you have finally become famous.”

When Xinghua saw the appointment letter, her reaction was different from Wei Tu's. She didn't know the twists and turns of appointing military attachés.

“Yeah, I’m getting ahead.”

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

Yes, he was suppressed by Magistrate He.

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

There is no need to be too concerned about these small things.

After all, he has the fate of "late bloomer". After a few years, he will be able to turn around again. Worrying about these small things has no other purpose than to cause trouble for himself.
