Red Mansion, Second Master Lian is too despicable

Chapter 18 18 The emperor doesn’t know how to do business

The carriage continued to move forward, Jia She nodded at Jia Lian's head and continued.

"Your uncle asked you to go on a holiday, just to keep the eyes closed to those who bought the official position, and not to make any noise about it; that's the difference! My dear, do you know what the benefits of this are?"

Jia Lian guessed something, but it was not easy to spoil his father's elegance, so he asked.

"What is it?"

Jia She didn't hide it either.

"That is, if you look at it like this, you did not buy your official position, you got it seriously! You passed the official examination and entered the official position seriously, and then you went to the Yamen after leaving the clerkship! If you have the opportunity to move to the left in the future, , this resume can’t hold you back!”

Jia Lian guessed that buying an official position would not lead to promotion, and Jia She's words were a disguised confirmation.

But Jia Lian was still worried.

"But if this is the case, there is a flaw! How my son is qualified to be an official is hard to explain!"

Jia Lian's worries are not unreasonable.

Being an official in ancient times is the same as in modern times; if you want to be an official, you must at least have a civil servant establishment, then study in a party school, and then be recommended by the Organization Department to be eligible for promotion.

The same is true in feudal society. You first get a reputation, then study in the Hanlin Academy, and finally become an official.

Of course, there are exceptions, and the above are all phenomena of procedural justice.

For example, Yin Feng does not count. There is no need to go to such trouble. The emperor can become an official just by opening his mouth.

Jia Zheng is Yinfeng, which is another system, but this is not recognized by the orthodox officialdom, so the difficulty of promotion is second only to buying an official.

Of course, Juren can also be an official, and Gongsheng also has a chance.

But these are all considered to have merit and honor, and they all have the conditions to become officials, which means they have to study hard.Even if you are promoted by a superior officer, you must have a learning experience.

For example, I have taught classes at a government school, assisted in government affairs, etc.

What Jia Lian lacks is fame and a learning process.Regardless of the fact that there is a candidate for an official position, without this process, you will not be able to become an official, and you will not be able to enter the orthodox ranks.

But Jia She ignored his son's worries.

"Child, why do you care about this? You will never escape the trap of the official department in your life. With your uncle here, what are you afraid of!"

"You! You have forgotten the situation of our family. You can't rise above the fifth rank! So what if you falsified your resume? It's not the emperor's turn to have someone review you!"

Jia Lian was still not sure. If the emperor couldn't find his head, everything would be fine!

"Wouldn't the Ministry of Civil Affairs review it?"

Jia She was very confident.

"It's a trial, but you will definitely pass!"

This shocked Jia Lian.

"why?"

Jia She came over and said mysteriously to Jia Lian.

"Because no one in the bureaucracy is a mess, who dares to review whom! If something happens to one of them, colleagues will help each other to hide it, otherwise they will start fighting and it will not end well for anyone!"

Only then did Jia Lian understand.

Think about it, if there is no clean person in the entire official department, it will really be difficult for something to happen, because no one would dare to let anything happen to the official department.

When something goes wrong, something goes wrong for everyone.

This situation gave Jia Lian other questions.

"Then uncle, isn't this also a private grant? He specializes in selling his official position for the emperor!"

Jia Lian always felt that even though his uncle said that he was a fence-sitter, he was capable of handling the emperor's business, so he would naturally have a good reputation around the emperor.

Even if you are not that loyal to the emperor, you will always be more concerned about your work.

It can't be selling the emperor's official position while stealing the emperor's rights at the same time.

Can't you?
Who knows, Jia She can see things openly.

"So what, the emperor is not short of hungry soldiers. If he dares to do this, the emperor must have allowed such a hole; besides, you can't get much money by selling an official position!"

Jia Lian didn't believe it when he heard it.The busy traffic in front of my uncle's house is enough to prove that this is a good deal, how could it not make money!

"How is that possible? I saw that my uncle's family was in great prosperity, and it doesn't look like it can't be sold!"

Jia She was a little disdainful of this.

"It's not easy to sell! The emperor takes it for granted that he sells his official position."

As he spoke, he started to clasp his fingers.

"The merchant emperor doesn't want to sell, and the gentry emperor doesn't want to sell, so he just wants to sell his official position to this official family!"

"According to the emperor's idea, those who are qualified to buy an official position have connections in their families. But who with the connections is willing to spend this unjust money? After all, if you use money to buy an official position, it will not be easy for you to get involved in the future. It is totally useless. It’s necessary to buy it.”

"And those who are willing to spend money to buy officials have no way to buy officials. They don't even know where the gates of the Ministry of Officials are opened!"

"So, most of what your uncle sells are candidate status, so that some people can use a lot of ceremonial guards when they get married, so as not to humiliate the woman. The candidate status I donated to you before has such a charter! "

It involves the bride's phoenix crown and harem, so the noble family will buy a candidate for the white heir.

It contains my apology to my son.

If Jia She of Rongguo Mansion is still the Duke of the country, then Jia Lian will be the crown prince, and the crown prince also has a rank, so there is no need to buy an official position.

It's a pity that Jia She is no longer the Duke of the country.

Of course, this cannot be blamed on him.

His father, Jia Daishan, can become the Duke of the Kingdom, which only shows that his father, Jia Yuan, is awesome, so he can ascend to the position of Duke of the Kingdom without being demoted. However, the title he passed down is that of one who has been demoted to the third level. Waiting for the title of general.

We can only blame Jia She's father for not living up to expectations, not Jia She's fault.

And hearing what Jia She said, it was a bit natural for the emperor to buy and sell officials. Jia Lian suddenly remembered a problem from his previous life.

That is, who is better, Zhao Ruilong or Gao Mingyuan!

An interesting answer is, first ask Gao Mingyuan if he can get through the door of the city government compound!
It is also appropriate to put it in Jia She's words.

That's what Zhao Ruilong was like. The emperor wanted to sell him an official position, but the small officials, section chiefs, section chiefs, etc. whom the emperor sold were not favored by Mr. Zhao, so there was no need to buy them.It is enough to have an alternate identity, such as representing something.

Gao Mingyuan wanted to buy it, but the emperor wouldn't sell it to him. Even if it was sold to him, he didn't have the connections to find the door to the Organization Department.

This made Jia Lian very worried about his future business.

"Then uncle, isn't there anything serious that we need?"

Jia She shook his head gently and said.

"Yes, but few; all the good things are in the hands of the eunuchs in the inner study of the palace! The emperor and the emperor's two teams are doing this business!"

Jia Lian was a little surprised. Didn't everyone say that the Qingfeng Dynasty was a prosperous period?Isn’t every household in this family living a good life? Why is the government so corrupt?

The emperor, the supreme emperor, and the ministers all engaged in buying and selling officials.

There is something better in this world.

But after thinking about it carefully, it was not the responsibility of Jia Lian, a newly appointed section chief, to worry about government affairs. If the sky fell, there would be tall people to support it, so don't mess around with things that you can't change.

I have learned this lesson many times in my previous life. The more important a national event is that I am anxious about, the more it has nothing to do with me.

If you are in the mood to worry about corrupt government affairs, it is better to imagine how to do your job well and how to get involved in your uncle's official business.

After all, this world belongs to the emperor, but he can spend his free money comfortably!

If your uncle can't do something well, you may not be able to do it well.

In these days, Jia Lian discovered that both his uncle and his father had one characteristic - they were not down-to-earth. They were used to being pampered and did not understand the sufferings of the people at all.

But I understand this!
As he spoke, the carriage arrived in front of the Rongguo Mansion, and entered through the side door.

Jia She greeted Jia Lian, handed him 200 taels of silver, and returned to the courtyard.

That night, Jia She drank a lot of wine in the yard.

He was very happy.

Jia Lian also returned to his yard, but couldn't sleep in his yard.
