Huaxia commercial bank.
Chen Xiaomi sat on the bed, stuffy way: "too much."
Lu Lin looked at Chen Xiaomi and said, "the people don't fight with the officials. Our county magistrate is going to leave office soon. We should want to make a final profit before leaving office. However, the other party will stare at us, which should be related to the master."
It seems that not only their shop is targeted, but also several shops are forced to give blood. So is the owner of Hongyun restaurant, who has a friendship with Lu Lin. Fortunately, the county magistrate was also afraid that things would be too big to clean up, so he collected some money and released people. This incident should have something to do with Lu Chengyu.
Lu Lin suddenly felt that in this world, money alone is not enough, but also power.
Yang Heng came to inform him a few days ago, saying that there might be changes these days. Let him be more careful. However, those who should come will come in the end, and you can't avoid them.
In recent years, his business has been booming and has a great reputation. There is no backstage behind him and Chen Xiaomi, so it is helpless to be targeted.
Chen Xiaomi said: "it's better to be an official!"
Lu Lin nodded and said, "yes!"
Chen Xiaomi looked at Lu Lin excitedly and said, "do we have enough money to buy officials?"
"It's not enough to buy a big official, but it's enough to buy a small official. I heard that the county magistrate in Shacheng only needs three jobs and two hours to buy." Lulin road.
After he got rich, Lu Lin had been thinking about buying an official, so he was more careful about it.
Chen Xiaomi said, "then buy the magistrate of Shacheng."
With the official status, he and the county magistrate of Linzhen are equal. After that, it's not so easy for the other party to hold him.
Lu Lin hesitated and said, "the magistrate of Shacheng is not so good."
"Why don't you be a good one?" Asked Chen Xiaomi.
"This Shacheng city borders on the state of Liao, which is a country on horseback. If Liao invades, it will invade Shacheng first."
"The original residents in this sand city have almost died. Many of them are soldiers who have left their armour and returned to the fields." As soldiers, many hands are stained with blood, blood evil spirit is heavier, temperament is also more violent than ordinary people.
The soldiers who stay in Shacheng know the generals in the court. If the magistrate doesn't do a good job, the soldiers can go to the generals and complain.
Secondly, because the risk of living in Shacheng is very high, the land is not very fertile, disasters often occur, taxes are often not collected, and the imperial court is needed to provide relief.
"After the war, Shacheng was empty. In order to attract people to settle there, the court directly exempted taxes and corvee for ten years." There is no tax or corvee. If you are an official there, there is no tax. The people there are fierce. If you want to collect money, you don't have to get it.
The first three magistrates on the other side of Shacheng were killed by the enemy in the war. As for the first two magistrates, they all resigned voluntarily. It's not normal for some officials not to do so. Lu Lin heard that the two officials were sacked in the middle of the night because of bullying others. He can't get along any more and can only resign and retire.
Chen Xiaomi looked at Lu Lin and said, "do you want to be an official?"
Lu Lin nodded and said, "I think this will be a good opportunity." It's not easy to be an official, but I'm an official anyway! "
Chen Xiaomi nodded and said, "that's OK."
Chen Xiaomi and Lu Lin spent three thousand taels of silver to buy the officials of Sha county.
In the eyes of the officials, Shaxian may be a place of right and wrong. Many of the officials assigned there died in the hands of the enemy. It's not bad to use such a place to exchange three thousand taels of silver for the imperial court.
The procedures come down very quickly, and Lu Lin can go to his post soon.
Yang Hengzhi stayed in the yard, looked at Chen Xiaomi and said, "Xiaomi, are you going to Shaxian?"
Chen Xiaomi nodded and said, "yes, it gave me three months to go there." Chen Xiaomi plans to clean up and set out.
Yang Hengzhi looked at Chen Xiaomi, full of puzzled way: "this you this shop opens well, how thought to be an official."
Chen Xiaomi looked at Yang Heng one eye, said: "this shop open again fire, no one on top, be suppressed, or will be suppressed."
Yang Hengzhi nodded and said, "it's true, but this Shaxian County is a place of right and wrong."
Chen Xiaomi nodded and said, "only the cheapest is there. The limit of other places is 10000 Liang."
Yang Hengzhi helplessly looked at Chen Xiaomi and said, "it's cheap there, but it's also dangerous!" It is said that Shaxian County is a place where the county magistrate does not return. No one is willing to take up his post. In the past, many of the county magistrates there offended people. The land where they were demoted is also thin. When Liao soldiers come, they will bear the brunt of the danger. This farmer lives in an ordinary way.
There is also a border patrol. Many villagers have relations with the people of the border patrol. During the war years, many villagers fought side by side with the people of the border patrol. After the war, some soldiers retired, and some soldiers became members of the border patrol. The county magistrate dared to act recklessly and kill the common people, so the people of the border patrol dared to sack the county magistrate.The magistrates in most of these places are all powerful, and what they say is what they say. However, it's different in Shaxian. If the magistrates don't do well and deal with injustice, they have to be cleaned up.
Chen Xiaomi blinked and said, "I can only afford to buy officials over there. If I work there for two years, I can't be promoted and transferred to another place."
Yang Hengzhi gave a dry smile. Chen Xiaomi, who was not born in the imperial examination, was the most difficult official to be promoted.
"Chen Shao, you have to be careful when you get there," Yang Heng said.
Chen Xiaomi nodded and said, "don't worry, I'm powerful."
Yang Hengzhi laughed and said, "if you are going to be a fool in the future, don't forget to lead your brother!"
"Yes Chen Xiaomi said cheerfully.
Lu Lin has transferred all his shops and shops, and Chen Xiaolai has also sold them.
Chen Xiaomi's future is uncertain when he goes to Shaxian this time, so he gives Chen Xiaolai two choices: one is to stay here to open a shop, the other is to follow him to his post.
After discussing with Shen Chi, Chen Xiaocai decides to follow Chen Xiaomi to his post.
Mrs. Shen passed away last year. Chen Xiaocai and Shen Chi have nothing to worry about in this place.
After selling his house and shop, Lu Lin started with a horse and two mules.
The news that Lu Lin is going to leave has shocked the villagers. Over the years, many villagers have made a lot of extra money by relying on Lu Lin's business firms. Many people feel reluctant to leave because Lu Lin suddenly wants to leave.
Because he wanted to follow Lu Lin to Shaxian, Shen Chi hesitated and decided to deal with the land in the countryside.
"Ah Chi, you are leaving!"
Shen Chi nodded and said, "yes, Xiaocai, if you want to leave with Xiaomi, I'll follow him."
Several villagers looked at each other and asked curiously, "ah Chi, Chen Xiaomi really bought an official!"
Shen Chi nodded and said, "it's true."
The villagers said, "this official can buy it!"
"It's not a good place, but some officials are always good." Shen chidao.
Many villagers agreed. No matter how bad the official is, it's also an official. It's amazing that there is an official in the village.
"Ah Chi, you are a blessed man!" A group of villagers surrounded Shen Chi and praised him.
Chen Xiaomi bought an official and Shen Chi became a relative of the official family. That's really a step up.
The news that Chen Xiaomi bought an official also spread to Mrs. Chen. Mrs. Chen could not help disbelieving that she knew that Chen Xiaomi had suddenly become an official from a prisoner.
When she found out that it was true, Mrs. Chen immediately blew up and felt that it was unfair. His great grandson studied hard and could not be an official. Chen Xiaomi didn't know any big characters, but she had a few stinky money and became an official. It was also unfair.
Some people say that when the old lady questions the policy of buying officials in the court, she is questioning the emperor and falsely saying the emperor's decrees. She will be beheaded.
The old lady was frightened and did not dare to howl.
Lu family.
Tang looked at Lu Chengyu and said, "Chengyu, I heard that Chen Xiaomi bought an official and was ready to be an official. Then he sold the shop. Is that true?"
Lu Chengyu nodded and said, "it's true."
Tang Shi frowned and said: "this official can buy and sell at will!"
Lu Chengyu said: "as long as you have money, you can buy it. However, the Shaxian County that Chen Xiaomi bought is a barbarian place. If you go there, you may not be able to come back. The former county magistrate of Shaxian County is either killed or resigned. It's not easy to mix in that place. Lu Lin's past may be back soon."
If Chen Xiaomi comes back, the money will be gone.
In fact, Lu Chengyu is very jealous. It's hard to be a magistrate in Sha county, but he is also an official. He doesn't know when he will be elected.
Tang Shi indignant way: "I hear, this official is worth three dry two silver."
Lu Chengyu nodded and said, "not bad."
Tang took a breath. Although Tang had guessed that Chen Xiaomi was rich, he didn't guess that Chen Xiaomi actually had so much money. He had so much money for three jobs and two jobs. What's wrong with doing something? He had to buy an official.
"The official Chen Xiaomi bought for Lu Lin." Lu Chengyu road.
Tang Shi some surprised way: "Lu Lin."
Lu Chengyu nodded and said, "yes." Shuang'er can't be an official, but he can.
Tang Shi black face, can't believe of way: "Lu Lin that kid, where is to be an official's material!" Tang's eyes widened. Unexpectedly, Lu Lin changed into an official.
Before, knowing that Lu Lin was the boss of Huaxia commercial bank, Tang felt incredible. He would know that Lu Lin was going to be an official, and Tang was about to vomit blood.Tang's stuffy way: "didn't you say that Chen Xiaomi was put in prison last time? How can you be released so soon? "
Lu Chengyu is not reconciled to the way: "the county magistrate just want to earn a vote, also don't want to offend people."
Lu Lin paid three hundred taels of silver to protect the people. The three hundred taels of county magistrate took the big head and the master took the small head. There was nothing wrong with him.
Lu Chengyu suddenly finds that she is a villain in vain.
Ganliang bought an official position and spent more than half of what Lu Lin and Chen Xiaomi had gained over the years. Lu Lin sold the goods in his house and business to Yang Hengzhi and sold them for 400 Liang.
