Red Mansion, Second Master Lian is too despicable

Chapter 90
The person who said this was the Governor's Mansion's Xingyuan Jizhi, whose surname was Qin. He was usually a quiet figure, but after so many years in the Fifth Army's Governor's Mansion, no one knew that he was still well-informed.

Jizhi is an official name, and he is one of the five deputy criminals and prisons in the Chinese army, Jiren, Jiyi, Jili, Jizhi, and Jixin, and he is under the seventh rank.

Most of the people present were officials of the seventh or eighth rank. What Qin Jizhi said was true; if there was no big opportunity, starting from the fifth rank would be the last honor for them to become an official.

As for this kind of decency, most people don’t have it!

Therefore, these words not only poured cold water on the cheerful gossip atmosphere among the officials, but also surprised everyone.

The official position of "Maintenance Secretary" is quite interesting. Except for the Ministry of Works, there is no corresponding position in other ministries. It seems to be a specially created position.

So, not many people really know what level this position is.

Now I heard people say that this Camp Repairs Officer was actually a fifth-grade official, which really shocked a lot of people's jaws.

That is a height that they may not even be able to reach in their career!

Immediately someone asked.

"Correct fifth rank? No way, Mr. Qin lived so cautiously, how could he look like a fifth rank official."

After this person finished speaking, he didn't forget to ask the people around him.

"Speaking of which, why is it that the Ministry of Works is the only one in this dynasty that has a maintenance officer? What kind of official is this?"

No wonder this person was surprised. You must know that there are barriers to becoming an official;

It is a bottleneck to go from being a clerk to an official; it is a bottleneck to be promoted from the eighth or ninth grade to the seventh grade; it is another bottleneck to be promoted from the seventh grade to the fifth grade before becoming an official; and the bottleneck for the fifth grade and above is the third grade official.

Third-rank officials. Which of the third-rank officials in the court does not have a profound background? That is something that low-level officials like them would not even dare to think of.Ordinary people would never dream of those high-ranking officials.

As for the first and second ranks, those are mostly honorary titles. Those who set an example among third-rank officials will receive this honor. However, the actual power is greater than that of the third-rank officials, but not much more. It is more like the leader of a clique formed by third-rank officials.

Therefore, being able to be promoted to the fifth rank in his junior year was already an obsession for these small officials. However, they did not expect that a maintenance officer who was looked down upon by them would actually hold the position of the fifth rank.

Unexpected, really unexpected!

(I'm afraid you'll say I'm talking nonsense. Let me explain. Historically, the official position of Camp Restoration Secretary was the fifth rank, and the reason why the official position is small in the Red Mansion is that Qin Ye does not have the dignity that a fifth-rank official should have.

However, there is actually another possibility, that is, Qin Ye is supporting a large group of people, so he is living in embarrassment! )

However, it is normal not to know the specific rank of this official position.

They are both document proposals. Can the proposals from the Sixth Department and the county government be the same?

What's more, it's a cold-blooded Si Tang who doesn't know what to do!

The ghost knows how much treatment he enjoys!
And Qin Jizhi, who said that Qin Ye was a fifth-grade official, was obviously a man of great powers. Seeing that everyone didn't believe it, he said seriously.

"The Minister of Camping and Repairs is equal to the doctor of the Ministry of Works. He is a fifth-rank official and has a generous salary. It is only because he is in charge of the construction of the mausoleum that it may be unlucky, so he is called the Langzhong of the Camping and Repairs Division! He is also called the Master of the Camping Repairs."

Qin Muzhi was sure. The people around him nodded and started talking after hearing what Mr. Qin said. It was as if they had forgotten about Jia She's incident.

"The official is not a small one! But why do they say he is a small official who doesn't get a seat at the table!"

Everyone basically believes this, but some people still want to express doubts; it's not that they have doubts about this, but that they want to dig deeper into the inside story and gain a little more insight.

When serving as an official, the most fearful thing is not not being able to perform well, but rather not being knowledgeable.

Because if you can't achieve results, at least you won't make mistakes, but if you don't have knowledge, it's easy to offend others.

And after offending someone, it is neither wrong nor wrong.

He who dared to question this naturally felt that he had some sympathy with Qin Jizhi, and Mr. Qin was not annoyed when faced with the doubts of his colleagues, but instead deliberately spread the word.

"You, you, have you really been an official for so many years in vain? Does it depend on the rank of the official? Doesn't it depend on what he is in charge of?"

Can you not understand this issue of the power contained in official positions?No one present is an official.

Isn't everyone just trying to get Qin Muzhi, who is obviously showing off, to say more?And Qin Muzhi lived up to his expectations. Seeing that everyone was interested, he pretended to be deep and lowered his voice to the crowd surrounding him.

"Do you know whose tomb he is building?"

Seeing how mysterious he was, everyone asked in cooperation.

"who?"

Qin Muzhi glanced around, as if to confirm whether it was safe or not before speaking in a low voice.

"What we are repairing is the tomb of Prince Yizhong, the old man who caused trouble!"

"what!!!!!"

This time, the secluded atmosphere suddenly exploded again.

The official who questioned him was closest to the well-informed Master Qin, and covered his mouth with his hand.

"Shh, this is not something we can discuss!"

As if Mr. Qin was about to decide yes, he opened the man's hand and said without fear.

"Hey, how many years have passed, what are you afraid of him doing!"

After saying that, he seemed to want to continue saying something!Let everyone be more clear.

He was fearless, but that didn't mean others were willing to get involved. Before he could continue, someone immediately interrupted.

"Okay, okay, let's talk about Jia Lian here. Why did he get lost? Come on, come on, does anyone who has experienced the past know who Jia Lian's biological mother is!"

After the interrupter finished speaking, he glared at Qin Muzhi, quite a warning.

Qin Muzhi also wisely shut up and stopped talking, and everyone turned their attention back to Jia Lian.

But after all, more than ten years have passed since this happened. No one can remember who married whom more than ten years ago; and no one would bother to inquire about the past of a stay-at-home woman.

What's more, the Zhang family felt very embarrassed when this happened. The Rongguo Mansion got a bargain, and the Ningguo Mansion was picked by their own people. Therefore, although the dowry and gifts were generous, the wedding was held in a low-key manner.

Even the relatives and friends of the two families know very little, let alone a group of outsiders.

But there are people who can't help but want to climb up. They always like to pay attention to this kind of marriage, trying to gain some benefits through relationships, so I still remember this.

A man named Song He, who was the former director of the Zhanshi Prefecture and now the counselor of the Wandu Commandery of the Rear Army Commandery, jumped out and said.

"I've heard a bit about this."

Counselor Song who said this was over sixty years old, with a short stature and a gray beard but his eyes were shining. Even at such an old age, his face still showed a bit of greed for money and lust.

Because of this appearance, this person is usually not popular in the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion; but this time, because of his age, everyone is paying attention to him.

Everyone urged after hearing that Counselor Song actually knew old things.

"Quickly tell me, whose girl did the Rongguo Mansion marry!"

Counselor Song, who had been depressed for many years, rarely felt the attention of everyone, and he said happily without hiding it.

"I don't know whose girl I married, but the bride came from a different family, and the wedding ceremony was so luxurious!"

After saying that, Counselor Song also touched his beard, looking like he was recalling the past and the prosperous years.

Seeing that he seemed to be lost in memories, everyone hurriedly asked.

"How many lifts did you walk?"
