What's wrong with me, a powerful minister, supporting a few female officials?

Chapter 90 Su Mo's Invincible Method in Officialdom (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Su Mo strode away.

The Imperial Guards of the Jiazi Group were filled with mixed feelings, exchanging glances but unable to speak for a long time.

They also thought that Su Mo was a corrupt official who rose to power through nepotism.

A corrupt official is a corrupt official.

These days, what official isn't corrupt?

They couldn't say they hated Su Mo; if they hated anyone, it was that they weren't corrupt officials.

With a truly despicable official like Shangguan arriving, he might have an even easier time in the future.

What I fear most are those who have both power and integrity, who are clearly well-fed but pretend to be incorruptible.

However, Su Mo's last two boasts came as a complete surprise, leaving them utterly dumbfounded.

Regardless of whether the promised monthly payments can be fulfilled.

The mere two hundred and seventy taels of silver, offered without a single penny, is enough to shock people!

When other officials were promoted, it was always because their subordinates sent them gifts and congratulations.

Who would give money to their subordinates instead of their own?!
In particular, half of it was returned as compensation to those soldiers who had died, were seriously wounded, or were no longer of any value.

Even if it's just to win people's hearts!

That is also benevolent and righteous!

……

Su Mo could guess the mindset of the Embroidered Uniform Guards.

No matter how much you say, it's all a waste of breath for these seasoned veterans.

Nothing is more practical than money!

Once the subsidies are distributed next month and the promise is fulfilled, we can completely win them over!
If there's any troublemaker, just kick them away!

Su Mo certainly wouldn't take out over a hundred taels of silver to support them for no reason.

The East Market is a lucrative market with enormous potential!
Even with the status of a minor flag officer and a regular soldier in the troop, one might not be able to secure the position.

In the eyes of true big shots, even a minor officer, or Lin Moyin, is nothing.

However, the current East Market is not yet worthy of the attention of those truly powerful figures.

Just ask me, even Chu Jianghe, a mere trial centurion, has a powerful minister from the Six Ministries behind him!
Not to mention Yong'an Prefecture, the secondary capital!

Once I've painstakingly managed the East Market and am earning ten thousand taels a year, things will be different!

Such income would make even a fourth-rank Jinyiwei (Imperial Guard) officer envious!

What do we do when the peach pickers come?

It's a bit better now that Xue Shan is in power.

What if Xue Shan is transferred?
Or they might use their power to intimidate and take down Xue Shan!

Even without Chen Qian's guidance, Su Mo knew that the only method he could use was to overthrow his superiors!
The East Market was Su Mo's first real-world project!
As long as you use interests, you can involve everyone at the bottom level.

No matter who becomes the magistrate of Changping County, or even if that true god reaches out from afar.

They can't avoid mentioning Su Mo!

Now they are the strongmen and captains of the Jiazi group, as well as the yamen runners and servants who have joined them.

in the future.

This includes all the soldiers in the garrison, as well as the banner officers and centurions!
The clerks and chief officials of the yamen's three shifts and six departments!
Of course, that will happen once everyone gets involved.

The current East Market may not be able to afford to support them.

But what if we add another West Market?

The two markets together monopolized more than 80% of the market for hundreds of thousands of people!
Even if each person only earns him a hundred coins a year.

That's a huge profit of tens of thousands of taels of silver!

If we could attract people from the surrounding counties and towns as well, that would be even more amazing!
Between people, only interests can form a lasting relationship!

Even blood relatives can turn against each other and draw their swords because of interests!

As long as Su Mo connects all the lower and middle classes with mutual benefits.

Who can shake him in the slightest!
In terms of strategy and intellect, Su Mo admitted that he was no match for others, but when it came to making money and understanding market economics, who dared to say they were better than him?
Even if we take a step back, the benefits of the two markets are not enough to go around.

With money-making opportunities like salt refining, perfume, and soap, how could Su Mo possibly be without them?

Even in iron smelting, Su Mo has an immediate and effective method to greatly improve the quality of refined iron!

Adding a preheating air intake pipe can significantly increase the furnace temperature!

After receiving the Little Flag Officer reward from the system.

Su Mo had already given this issue a lot of thought.

This is the invincible method he came up with!

This was also a key reason why he decisively refused Lin Moyin's offer to take him to Shenjing for development!
I'm still young!
Not urgent!
Once this base is solidified into an ironclad base, a Su family base.

They might even build their own armed forces!

They could continuously amass silver, paving a broad road to the Golden Palace in the capital! Su Mo walked out of the Embroidered Uniform Guard in a cheerful mood.

To expect him to stay on duty at the Embroidered Uniform Guard is a pipe dream!

A minor officer only earns ten taels of silver a month; how can that compare to the path to heaven where the inferiors overthrow their superiors!
Su Mo went straight to the Su residence.

To not return home in wealth and honor is like wearing fine clothes in the dark.

Now that he's made it big, he'll definitely share it with his uncle, who treats him like his own son, right away!
Upon arriving at Jiazi Lane, they saw from afar that the main gate of their house was wide open, with Meng Bazi standing guard at the entrance.

Su Mo was stunned.

Basically, the main gate of any mansion is rarely opened.

Normally, we use the side door for entry and exit.

Why is it open today?
Another important person is coming to see me?
He quickened his pace.

Upon seeing Su Mo, Meng Bazi excitedly jogged over to her.

"Lord Su, you're finally back!"

Su Mo looked at the guy suspiciously, then smiled so hard that the scar on his face turned red.

"What happened?"

Meng the Scarface hurriedly said with a smile, "Lord Su, you are unaware of this!"

"Good news came from the yamen today: Chen Tou has been promoted to a regular officer!"

He became more and more excited as he spoke, spitting as he exclaimed, "So many people came to congratulate Chen!"

"Officer Zhong, Officer Lü, and Officer Luo have all arrived!"

Su Mo's eyes widened: "Third Uncle has been promoted to a regular soldier?"

Meng the Scarface nodded repeatedly, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth: "Yes, yes, yes!"

Su Mo was in an even better mood!
This is double happiness!

No, it's four blessings at once!
He took the first blood from Lady Chen, won the heart of the female centurion, obtained the small flag officer's badge, and his third uncle was promoted to a regular officer!

Isn't that exactly Four Joys?
No wonder Meng the Scarface smiled with his yellow teeth showing!

Chen Qian was promoted to a regular soldier.

He and Zhang Si had been Chen Qian's cronies for many years, serving him hand and foot.

Cannot be promoted to assistant?

In the future, they will be able to oppress more people and extort more money.

The potential for wealth is limitless!

No matter how powerful Su Ya is, he's still separated from Chen Tou by a level; nothing beats Chen Tou's direct promotion.

Meng the Scarface bowed and scraped: "Lord Su, please!"

Su Mo nodded and followed Meng Bazi into the house.

Before stepping through the gate, he took off the small official's badge hanging from his waist and put it into his money bag.

Sure enough, the courtyard was already packed with people.

There were even more people than when he was promoted to regular rank last time!
After all, Chen Qian had a wide circle of friends, and while the quality of his connections wasn't as good as Su Mo's, the sheer number of them was something Su Mo couldn't match even with ten horses.

The main reason is that Su Mo had previously only gained the appreciation of the county magistrate.

Its potential has not yet been fully realized.

Now, Su Mo has become a big shot in the government!
The clerks all slunk away, not to mention the Cao family, who were so frightened that they fell seriously ill overnight and didn't dare leave a single dog behind!

In the eyes of most clerks, Su Mo had become the second most powerful person in Changping County, second only to the county magistrate.

The county magistrate and the registrar must step aside!

Su Mo was Chen Qian's backer, a backer more reliable than anything else.

If they don't come to support Chen Qian and build a relationship now, when will they?
Meng Scarface shouted, "Lord Su is back!"

The noisy front yard fell silent instantly, and everyone's eyes turned towards the gate!

Su Mo looked at the dense crowd of people filling the front yard and sighed inwardly.

It's time to move into that five-courtyard mansion that the common folk gave us.

After silence.

Everyone rushed forward to greet Su Mo!
Su Mo smiled and nodded, exchanging a few pleasantries with the others.

They then entered the front hall.

Sure enough, those sitting in the front hall were all prominent figures in the county government, or those closely related to Chen Qian.

Unexpectedly, Chen Bao also came.

Last time, we could only eat in the courtyard.

This time I finally have the right to enter the front hall.

When Zhong Sanyuan and the others saw Su Mo appear, their eyes lit up immediately.

They condescended to come and congratulate Chen Qianzheng on his successful campaign, wasn't it all for Su Mo?
Today's update has begun! I'm begging for monthly votes! I'm currently sixth on the new book VIP list, a result I never dared to dream of. But, shouldn't I be a little more ambitious? How about breaking into the top five?
