Chapter 52
"Liao Yong is qualified? Isn't the inspection room a minimum grade?" Xu Tao raised his eyebrows.
"Reluctantly, isn't this ready to be purchased right away? I'm actually hesitating whether to accept it or not." Kaishan woke up and replied cautiously.
Everyone wants to enter the inspection room, mainly because they can recommend temporary positions to Qianhusuo and Jixianyuan.
Most people come to take pictures, but also to go through the scene, and then enter the officialdom.
"Open Liao Yong and add my people." Xu Tao handed over the document and said.
"This is against the rules, right?"
Daoist Kaishan hesitated, but Liao Yong gave him a lot of money.
"Do as I say. Give back your favor." Xu Tao said impatiently.
"Okay, I got it." The Daoist Kaishan knew his position and depended on the Xu family to get a firm seat, so he could only accept it now.
He took out a list from the drawer, found the last name of Liao Yong on it, and made a cross with a charcoal pen.
Then re-add Zhang Ying's name on the document.

Night falls.
Inside the room of the disciples of the Jingjing Palace.
Zhang Rongfang stood in the open space in front of his room, looking up at the bright moon.
He thought of his master Zhang Xuan and his brother Zhang Xintai, and he didn't know what was going on now.
Apart from the original elder sister Zhang Rongyu, master Zhang Xuan and senior elder sister Zhao Dalong, he should be the only person in this world who feels a touch of warmth.
And now, in Tan Yang, people who are unfamiliar in life have become lonely again.
"newcomer?"
A young woman who was pouring water from a wooden basin was looking at her curiously.
"I haven't lived next door for a long time. I suddenly moved my luggage today, until it turned out to be a junior brother."
The woman said with a smile, her personality seemed to be quite cheerful and outgoing.
"Xia Rongrong, a native of Tanyang. We will be neighbors in the future, please take care of me."
"Zhang Ying, I'm from Huaxin County, and I met Senior Sister Xia." Zhang Rongfang cupped his hands.
Taking advantage of the moonlight, he looked at Xia Rongrong, who was in this palace, obviously living in the disciple's room, but not wearing a robe. Somewhat strange.
"It's strange why I don't wear Taoist robes?" Xia Rongrong laughed.
She has a decent appearance, a face with sword eyebrows and melon seeds, bright and clear eyes, and she looks quite beautiful with a white corset dress.
The most conspicuous thing is that his long black hair is draped behind his back, hanging down to his waist, and a white ribbon of equal length is tied between the hair.
"It's a bit strange." Zhang Rongfang did not deny it.
"In the Mingjing Palace, except for those who hold positions or have fixed festivals, during the ceremony, it is not necessary to wear Taoist robes on weekdays." Xia Rongrong explained.
"You came all the way, did you see a lot of Kun Dao who didn't wear Taoist robes?"
Zhang Rongfang was stunned for a moment, and then he recalled, it was true.
"That's it, thank you Senior Sister for clarifying the confusion."
"You're welcome." Xia Rongrong quietly looked at the man in front of her.
His sturdy upper body and streamlined muscle lines made his eyes flash with an inexplicable look.
"Junior brother just came to Tanyang, haven't you taken a good stroll around this place? Do you want me to take you around tomorrow? I'm idle anyway," she suggested.
"Uh, why is this so embarrassing?" Zhang Rongfang was a little uncomfortable with the other party's enthusiasm.
He had never met such an enthusiastic opposite sex, and he didn't know how to respond for a while.
"There's nothing to be ashamed of. Since you called me Senior Sister, it's worth doing a little favor by the way."
Xia Rongrong smiled.
"Junior brother came here from Huaxin County, did he come to change his nationality?"
"Well, Tanyang is a big city after all, and there will be many more opportunities for development. My elders asked someone to find favors and arranged for me to come here." Zhang Rongfang nodded.
"There are many opportunities. However, the competition is also fierce. Young players from all over the world are crowding into the big city.
Tanyang, Fucheng, all like this.
In this kind of place, such as us disciples under the age of 23, after entering the Taoist Palace, if they cannot enter the second rank within five years, they can only be arranged to join the nearby county. "Xia Rongrong's smile faded a little, and she sighed.
"Can't we go to Wenxiu?" Zhang Rongfang frowned.
"Wen Xiu is more difficult. There are more people crowded. Our martial arts practitioners are much smaller than Wen Xiu. The threshold for pure Wen Xiu is lower, and it doesn't cost much money, so there are naturally more people practicing."
Xia Rongrong sighed.
"By the way, Junior Brother came here, shouldn't he have found a job yet?"
"Work? What does this mean? Isn't it possible to take a temporary job?" Zhang Rongfang wondered.
"There are more than 300 disciples of Wenxiu and Wuxiu in Mingjing Palace. How can there be so many temporary positions? And how can the money for temporary positions be enough? If you don't go to work to make money, you can't even pay the monthly contributions." Xia Rongrong Surprised.
"Could it be that you don't even know this?"
". Also ask senior sister to speak clearly." Zhang Rongfang really didn't know. In the Qinghe Palace, as long as it is a martial artist, everyone has a temporary post.
The basic expenses of the disciples are also the responsibility of the master. I didn't expect that the disciples would pay for it here?
"You need money to practice martial arts, and you need to pay for donations. You need money to buy medicinal materials on weekdays. If you don't have family support, you can only find a way to earn it yourself." Xia Rongrong shook her head helplessly.
"If you have a skill of rank 3 or above, there are some big clans in the city who hire you to be teachers. You can also make a lot of extra money if you take a temporary post in the door or in the yamen.
But if it is below the third rank, it will be difficult. Playing in the arena, receiving temporary employment from commercial firms, and occasionally the teacher in the door will assign some paid tasks, and for the rest, you can only find a way. "
she sighed.
"So many people below the third rank went to the surrounding counties and towns to take up positions in the branch. Although the countryside is backward, it can be temporarily suspended, can make money, and can make progress. It's better than spending time in the city."
Zhang Rongfang understood what she meant.
The third rank is a hurdle. If you can rush up, you will be able to settle down in this big city. If you can't rush, it will be difficult.
"Work hard. In this small courtyard, everyone starts the same way. Me, you, Shangguanyi and Xiao Hongcui who live there, all do the same."
"Everyone has already bought it?" Zhang Rongfang was surprised.
"It's natural, those who don't get the grades won't live here either." Xia Rongrong nodded.
and Xia Rongrong's chat gave Zhang Rongfang a preliminary understanding of Mingjing Palace.
The competition here is far more intense than he thought.
And the most realistic thing is that the most important thing here is money.
Money is everywhere.
Wu Xiu all went to the third rank, and Wen Xiu all went to Jiedan.
Fortunately, although he is only a rank on the surface, his actual strength is far beyond this level.
Even if the third rank is in front of him, it is nothing more than that.
It should not be difficult to break through the situation.
as predicted.
A few days later, Zhang Rongfang was temporarily assigned to the inspection room, and during a night inspection, he caught a snitch who often came to steal money and made a contribution.
"Good job!" Inside the inspection room.
Daoist Kaishan looked at Zhang Rongfang in front of him gently.
"I just came here and I have made a contribution. I will write this down for you first and count it together in the future."
He stood up and patted Zhang Rongfang on the shoulder.
"You have a good posture, so you have to set an example, and those who can do more work. In addition, I know you want to take a temporary job outside.
do not worry. Although you have made meritorious deeds now, but you are still a little short of going out for temporary employment, I will help you write it down first, and when there is a place later, I will save a credit and I will help you recommend it. "
"Thank you for the care of the owner." Zhang Rongfang surrendered.
What he wants is to improve his status as soon as possible. In addition, after waiting for a while, he will be able to rank second rank again.
Accumulate credit now, and then you can successfully join Jixian Academy or Qianhusuo.
When you get an official status, your taxes will be greatly reduced, your salary will increase, and you will make more money.
"Continue to perform well, don't worry, I can't treat anyone wrong when I start a mountain." The Daoist Kaishan smiled cheerfully.
"Then, Zhang Ying will retire first." Zhang Rongfang thanked him and turned to leave.
The Daoist Kaishan watched him go out the door and gradually moved away, the smile on his face softened more and more.
"This young man, not bad."
He opened the drawer and took out the arrest document he had just recorded.
This is a document issued by the government to various sects. If you catch the snitch, you can receive a reward of 300 taels and a small military merit.
Daoist Kaishan took out a charcoal pen very naturally, and wrote the name of the arrester—Xue Wenyuan at the bottom of the document.
His own nephew has been thinking about going to Qianhu for a long time, and now this credit is just right.
The 300 taels bounty was also used to block the usury he borrowed a few days ago.
stroked his chin and beard, and the smile on Daoist Kaishan's face deepened.
"Okay, Xiaoyun will go to the yamen to report."
"Master. If you write it like this, the owner of the lodging house." Xiaoyun on the side asked with some doubts.
"I checked carefully and found that this person has nothing to do with the owner of the dormitory, but is just a personal favor, and the owner of the dormitory doesn't care about him.
Moreover, it is already a great benefit to transfer his Taoist status and leave his post, so what does it mean to take a little credit from him? "
The Daoist Kaishan can sit so firmly in the inspection room, who can provoke and who can't in this palace, that is the door.

Zhang Rongfang walked slowly in the Palace of Mirrors.
The entire Taoist Palace is surrounded by three temples, and a row of buildings is built, and the disciple's room is in it.
He walked all the way, thinking about how to make money all the way.
Xia Rongrong took him outside for a few laps before, and indeed saw a lot of arena competitions.
The accomplishments of daring to go up are not bad.
If he doesn't hide his strength, he can make a gesture when he goes up. But in this way, he was too conspicuous.
Therefore, finding a more hidden way to make money has become his top priority now.
can think about it, after all, there is no way.
‘It seems that it is still worthwhile to quickly accumulate credit, and it is worthwhile to go outside to hold an official position. He had already found out that the lowest level of official status, the monthly salary is at least fifty taels. Buying medicine to improve the accumulation speed of attribute points can also be used. ’
"Qianqianqian." Zhang Rongfang sighed in his heart. Without money, his attribute points could only return to the previous two months' speed.
Too slow too slow.
When the heart is irritable.
Suddenly, at the corner ahead, Xia Rongrong suddenly stepped out and waved at him with a smile.
Zhang Rongfang approached and clasped his fists.
"I have seen Senior Sister Xia."
"Junior Brother Zhang Ying, you are so upset, but you are worried about money?" Xia Rongrong asked with a smile.
"That's right, I really don't know how to make this money." Zhang Rongfang nodded without concealing it.
Xia Rongrong is also clear.
For martial cultivators at their level, if they want to stay in Tanyang, it is too difficult to rely on their own.
"Why should you be worried, Junior Brother? It is said that the car must have a way to the front of the mountain. There is a garden party today, why not go shopping together? Maybe we can get to know more friends and find more ways."
"Garden Party?" Zhang Rongfang heard this name for the first time.
"Actually, there are quite a few girls in the city who are rich and wealthy. They want to know more about young heroes from various schools." Xia Rongrong lowered her voice and said mysteriously.
"Junior Brother, think about it, if you can both hold beautiful people and solve money problems, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?"
"." Zhang Rongfang was speechless, and instantly realized what this party was about.
