Baidu otaku as Chongzhen

Chapter 202
National Supervisor.

On the gate is a sign of "Jixianmen".

Here, there are many people coming in and out!From time to time, I saw some people coming in and out, and there were many carriages parked outside the Guozijian, which took up half of the road. It was a busy scene, and it was impossible to tell that this was the highest institution of education.There are also soldiers standing guard in front of the gate, patrolling, and others maintaining order.

Yang Reform sat in the carriage, looked at the gate of the Guozijian, and took a closer look. It seemed that this should be the Guozijian, not the vegetable market, or the location of some high-ranking official or a certain large restaurant.

"Butler, it's so lively here! Are you sure this is the Imperial College?" Yang Reform felt that he might have gone to the wrong place.

"My lord, this is indeed the Imperial College, it can't be wrong." Wang Chengen replied.

Yang Reform took a closer look, and found that many of the people who came in and out were similar to himself, a scholar, followed by a housekeeper, or a servant, follower, and his "configuration" was not much different, and some people even wore clothes. Wealthier than myself.

These are the guys who came to prison?Yang Reform muttered to himself.If the business of the prison is so good, then it is really rich!
"Big Companion, go ask and see what these people do, are they imprisoned?" Yang Reform felt itchy when he saw so much money moving.

"Little one obeys, my lord."

After a while, Wang Cheng'en came back and replied: "Young master, I have asked you clearly, these are indeed here to raise prisons."

"Good, good, good, good!..." Yang Reform was convinced, and he was very happy.What I want is this effect, exchanging money for official positions, this trick will always be attractive in feudal society.

"By the way, where do these people come from?" Yang Reform wondered why there were so many people.

"Returning to your son, I have asked several companies in different places. Some are near Gyeonggi, some are in Huguang, Shanxi, Yunnan..." Wang Chengen told the emperor what he had asked.

"From Yunnan? Steward, did you hear me right?" Yang Reform felt that this was a bit outrageous. How long did it take for him to come up with the policy of an official?Is there anyone who can jump here from Yunnan?Even if you call, it's not so fast.

"My son, this decision can't be wrong. It is indeed from Yunnan. However, he didn't come from Yunnan. He didn't pass the exam this year. He plans to take the exam next time. The road to Yunnan is too far away. The time required for one round is too long, so many candidates who rush for the exam live in the city and wait for the next exam year. It is a remote place, and the more people who live in the capital concentrate on studying..." Wang Chengen explained patiently.

It turned out to be like this, and Yang Reform understood that this is a professional test master.

"Okay, let's go down and have a look." Yang Reform felt a lot more at ease after seeing the lively scene at the entrance of the Guozijian. This move and donation is a good start!A lot of money can be searched, and it is easy to do things when you have money.

Yang Reform jumped out of the carriage, followed the crowd, and entered the Imperial College. The officers and soldiers patrolling outside the Imperial College did not stop Yang Reform, because such a scholar, a housekeeper, followed by a follower, is too common.

Yang Reform easily entered the Guozijian, following the flow of people, after a few rounds, he arrived in front of a house.

This house should be the place to sign up. Yang Reform took a look again and found that there are too many people with similar "configuration" as himself. Basically, there is a housekeeper or servant, and many people have attendants. , Some people even came with big boxes, which surprised Yang Reform a little. Could it be that this is a blatant gift?

"Steward, tell me, why are they carrying this big box?" Yang Reform asked, is this still a public gift?This is too much.

"Young master, here is money, which is paid to the regular prison." Wang Chengen said in a low voice, there are too many people here.

"The money you carried? Then why don't you use bank notes?" Yang Reform asked.

"My lord, he has to charge a fee for the bank note. If the house is not far from here, why let others make a fortune?" Wang Chengen explained.

"Oh, that's it! I see, the one who carries the box is the one nearby, and the one who doesn't lift the box will use the bank note." Yang Reform said self-righteously.

"...It's not all like this, my lord, look, there are still some people here who don't dress very well, and probably have no money or bank notes..." Wang Chengen was a little ashamed of his master's words.

"No money, no bank notes? Then how do you go to prison?" Yang Reform was puzzled. To put it bluntly, he raised prisons, officials, and donated money. He put it bluntly. There are many turns, the essence of which is to sell officials.Want to buy an official without money?

"...My lord, look slowly, and you will understand... Look, the one who entered just now has no money..." Wang Chengen didn't know how to explain his master's problem, so he could only use Facts educate the emperor.

Yang Reform hurriedly said, "That? That?"

"My lord, that's the one!" Wang Chengen pointed his hand at the person who had just stepped into the house.

"Which? That?" Yang Reform saw that the person only had a back view. From the back, he couldn't tell how old he was, but he could only tell that he was about 40 years old. He was dressed in ordinary clothes and had only one cloth backpack.

The man walked in and started talking to the man who was sitting behind the desk. He couldn't hear what he said clearly. Yang Kaifeng opened his ears and leaned forward a lot, so he could hear some intermittently.

"... in Lower Fuzhou,... imprisoned." It was probably the voice from behind, because the kind office worker facing him didn't speak.

The guy at the desk, who was about 30 years old, was kind and nice.The words were so soft that Yang Reform couldn't hear clearly.

"may have……"

What this kind guy said, Yang Reform only heard the word "possible", but he probably asked if he had a "diploma" such as a license to raise people.

Sure enough, the "back figure" took out a bag from the baggage on his back, and then took out a few paper-like things from it and handed it to the office worker.

The office worker looked at the piece of paper for a while, and sang: "Fujian... Juren,... imprisoned..." Although it was sung, the voice was still very small, and Yang Reform still only heard the general idea.

After the office worker finished singing, there was a clerk next to him, writing something down.

After the office worker finished singing, he seemed to be asking the "back view" again, "... Yin Zi..." Yang Reform was most sensitive to Yin Zi, so he vaguely guessed that it was Yin Zi.

The figure from the back shook his head, he didn't hear what he said, probably nothing, otherwise he wouldn't have shook his head.

Yang Reform also felt strange, and was going to see how this seemingly friendly guy was going to go crazy. This prison is a place to buy officials with money. There is no money, and it is impossible to want to buy officials.

The guy working in front of the desk didn't get angry, instead he politely muttered something to the guy who shook his head when he asked about silver. Then, the back figure nodded, and then a clerk next to him guided him to the back went.Yang Reform didn't hear a word of what he said specifically.

After this person went in, the person sitting in the hall did not call the next one, and just waited. After a while, the person who walked inside came out. The appearance of being in his 40s may also be very old, but he does not look young anyway.The beard is short, not very long, and the face is thin.

The person turned around and sat opposite the office worker, and continued talking with that person. After talking for a while, the office worker sang: "Fujian Juren...in prison..." I couldn't hear it clearly anyway, so I finished singing. After that, he immediately used the large seal placed aside to cover a certain piece of paper, and then handed it to the figure from behind.The figure from the back bowed, probably as a thank you, and then backed out. It could be seen that this guy was also full of melancholy.

Yang Reform said to Wang Cheng'en, "Housekeeper, please ask him here."

Wang Chengen understood, and immediately ran to the man's side, said a few words, the man walked up to Yang Reform with a puzzled face, and said, "Young master, are you calling me?"

Only then did Yang Reform realize that the back that he had been looking at just now looked very old, or he might be malnourished, with a yellow and thin face. Seeing him talking to him, he said, "Yes, I don't know the way to raise a prison. , Seeing that my brother has experienced it, so I want to ask the key to it."

After listening to the man, he managed to smile a few times, looked Yang Reform up and down, and said: "This is a key point, it's nothing. I'm looking at the young master's attire. He is also a wealthy family. He doesn't need to be as down and out as Ma. The point where I want to borrow money from loan sharks, don’t say anything, don’t say anything..." This "back figure" claimed to be Ma, and his words seemed very quiet.

"Ah, ah, ah, don't! What is usury? Can you explain?" Yang Reform was amazed. Could it be that this usury has gone the same way as the prisoner?Those who have no money immediately go inside to borrow usury?Immediately imprison me if I borrowed it?Yang Reform was shocked!What kind of trick is this?Yang Reform had always thought that the usury was done in a sneaky way, and it was impossible for him to do it openly. There, like here, was actually part of the registration process. Yang Reform was completely shocked by the toughness of this Ming Dynasty man!

The "back figure" who claimed to be Ma sighed a few times, but stopped to raise his legs, and said, "My lord, I want to ask what you did in there just now?"

"Exactly!" Yang Reform felt that this guy understood what he meant.

"It's simple. I asked the loan shark to borrow 300 taels of silver, and then gave me a bank note. I took this bank note and went to jail. It's that simple! Hehe... ..." The "back figure" who claimed to be Ma was also explaining with difficulty.After finishing speaking, he laughed at himself very bitterly.

"It's that simple? But isn't it 1000 taels of silver for this prison?" Yang Reform was surprised by this fact!Isn't lending usury, that is, lending usury, not allowed by the law, all done secretly?Why is the Ming Dynasty so upright?I was also very skeptical about the money for the prison. Wasn't it 1000 taels that was discussed at the time?Why is it now 300 taels?corruption?still is?
"Young master, it is indeed 1000 taels to raise the prison, and it is also a bank note of 1000 taels. However, the extra 300 taels is regarded as interest. Hehe, this loan shark is really powerful!" This guy, Explained with a wry smile.

"Then since the usury is so powerful, why do you still need to borrow it?" Yang Reform asked.

"Hehe, my son, I don't want to hide this from you. I'm not too young this year. I'm already 40 years old. I haven't passed the exam this year. It's been more than ten years. Sigh... don't talk about this, don't talk about this, I'm going to prepare for three years." After the last exam after the year, if you fail again, then I can only go to the countryside to retire. I don’t hear that His Majesty has granted a gift of heaven, you can raise a prison, and you can get an official to do it. I think this is an opportunity. , even if you fail the exam three years later, according to the rules of the prison, it is almost time to reach the stage of history. It’s not in vain to live in this world!” The man explained with a wry smile.

Official fan, official fan!Yang Reform gave this person a definition. It turns out that this prisoner seems to be a spare tire. The imperial examination is their regular tire. If they fail the imperial examination, they will use this prison as a spare tire. This is quite thoughtful. what!Yang Reform also had to admire the IQ of this kind of person, anyway he wanted to be an official anyway.

However, I was even more scolded in my heart. Damn, I didn’t pass the exam after more than ten years. I’m 40 years old and still take the exam. Even if you pass the exam, you’re almost half a century old. Is it worth the test?Wouldn't you find a daughter-in-law earlier, buy a few acres of land, and live a comfortable life?This kind of test master can only be described by one word, that is idiot.

Where did Yang Reform know that in this ancient society, being an official was so attractive to people, and how different was the difference between being an official and being an ordinary person? I think back then, Zhu Yuanzhang was so skinny that his hands were so soft, but is there any shortage of officials in the world? ?No shortage?Why?
"Oh! That's the way it is. Brother, when will the money be returned? Are there any rules?" Yang Reform still cared about the money the most.This usury actually got mixed up with the prisoner.

"Hehe...that? For a year, I can ask my family to send some money, oh...it's expensive, but there's nothing I can do about it!" The "back figure" who claimed to be Ma sighed again, although he said it was long and short. Yes, but in this man's bewildered eyes, there was also a little bit of joy and a hint of hope.How can you not be secretly happy when you become an official?

Yang Reform feels that this Li Ruolian and the others are also very powerful, and the knives of this usury are really sharp!Really not light!It hurts just as much when the knife is cut on the ruling class like Juren!

"Oh...it's not easy! It's not easy!" Yang Reform sighed, as if he was sympathizing with the "back view" who claimed to be Ma. In fact, he was already happy in his heart. 300 taels a year, more than 120 taels a month, the monthly interest is more than two cents!It seems that Li Ruolian still has a good way of doing things!For his [-] million taels of usurious mother's money to have somewhere to put it, Yang Reform feels at ease.However, Wang Chengen's complexion was not very good.

"Then I will take my leave, and I will not delay my brother." This Ma also said goodbye very readily.

"Farewell, farewell!" Yang Reform quickly replied.

The "back figure" who claimed to be Ma was gone, and Yang Reform continued to focus on the person in the room who was raising the prison.

This time, it is not a "poor person". Judging by the clothes of that person, he should be very wealthy.

The guy who was very good at office was talking to the rich man, and Yang Reform stood near the door and "eavesdropped".All I heard was "... silver...."

Then the rich man nodded hurriedly, took out a piece of paper from his pocket, and handed it to the person in the office.

The very kind guy in the office said something very kindly.Yang Reform heard one sentence clearly, that is, "...pay inside...".

Yang Reform wakes up and realizes that all the silver of feelings has to be paid in it!It's not about paying the money in court!Yang Reform thought that only the guy who borrowed money would go in, but he didn't expect this guy to be called in even if he had money.

Also not long after, that very rich guy came out of it, looking like I was very hurt, but he didn't say anything, and sat in front of the friendly office man again, and continued to sign up.

Soon, this person's registration was over, and he came out with both frustration and joy on his face. Yang Reform was a little confused, what happened to this guy, he clearly saw that guy nodding, and took out the money from his pocket. Why are you so depressed?Didn't it work out?No!Yang Reform saw the seal of the friendly guy, if he didn't sign up, how could he get the seal?
Yang Reform was interested in the room behind that friendly guy, and wondered what was so weird hidden in it.However, Yang Reform thought it was better to ask this guy first to see what happened to him inside.

"Housekeeper, go and invite that person here, I want to ask about the situation." Yang Reform found that this Guozijian became more and more interesting.

"Little one obeys." Wang Chengen agreed, and went to invite that person.

Faced with Yang Reform's invitation, that person looked at Yang Reform's side unexpectedly, and found that the butler and the young master were well dressed, and felt that they could socialize, so he came over without hesitation.

"I don't know your brother's surname? I'm Song Yiming, I don't know what's the matter with me?" The wealthy son who called himself Song Yiming greeted Yang Reform generously.

Yang Reform also returned the courtesy, saying: "Hehe, Fanggui, your surname is Yang. I don't think Xiongtai is a person who is short of money. Why do you want to go to the back? Here, is it possible that he is not good at it?" The room behind the friendly office guy was very interested, and wanted to see what was in there.

The guy who called himself Song Yiming was about to explode the contents when he was asked by Yang Reform, but just as he opened his mouth, he suddenly remembered something, and said in a nonchalant tone: "Ahem...it's actually nothing, there's nothing inside. Well, Xiongtai will go to prison when the time comes, so he will know, nothing, nothing..." He refused to say.

Yang Reform became more and more curious, what exactly is in this room!Could it be a man-eating tiger?People were frightened as soon as they entered, but no one screamed!
"Hehe, brother, don't lie to me. I also know that there is a loan shark here. There is nothing I can't say. I just want to see it first. If you are reluctant to tell me, then forget it, even if Yang I didn't ask..." Yang Reform pretended to be angry.

"Kaka..." The guy who called himself Song Yiming choked before he could open his mouth, coughed a few times, and said, "Ah... It seems that brother Taiwan is also here for this prison, so let's just say it bluntly." , there is nothing in it, it is just forcing Song to borrow a few loan sharks, if Song does not borrow, it is said that Song's qualifications for entry to prison may not be enough, and he needs to take the exam again. After passing the exam, he can Imprisonment... Song had no choice but to borrow usury for three months, but Song paid it back right away, alas, Song was overcharged for three months of interest for no reason!... Hehe, I think Xiongtai's background seems to be extraordinary, I don't know if I need to go through this experience..." This Song Yiming, after finishing speaking, kept looking up and down Yang Reform, as if he wanted to see something from Yang Reform's clothes Come on, I hope that Yang Reform is a noble person, and I also go inside to experience this kind of experience, and if possible, vent my anger for myself.

Yang Reform's eyes almost popped out of surprise, what is this?People who have money to go to jail are forcing others to borrow usury for three months, and after repaying it on the spot, they still have to charge three months of interest. This is so fucking tough!I don't know what's going on in Li Ruolian's brain.He dared to do this kind of thing, and he didn't know that it was the pig from the Guozijian who cooperated with Li Ruolian to do this. He was really daring!Yang Reform also noticed that there was something strange about this matter.

Seeing Yang Reform's eyeballs popping out of surprise, Song Yiming seemed very proud of himself, and felt good about being able to calm down this noble son.He said again: "Hehe, Brother Yang, I will take my leave after completing the formalities. I wish you good luck."

Yang Reform reluctantly suppressed his shock, and said goodbye to Song Yiming, "Farewell, farewell! I won't send you off..."

This Song Yiming left with a sense of accomplishment, as if he was happy that he could shock a nobleman.

After Yang Reform sent that Song Yiming away, he came back to think about this matter. Who did this matter?Damn, those who go to prison, whether they have money or not, will be charged for taking a ride. Damn, they still charge usury interest by taking a ride. Only then can such a thing be done!And that Li Ruolian, what kind of courage and brains does it take to come up with such an idea!Charging for rides is right, it’s a good idea, it’s nothing, but it’s done in the name of usury without charging for rides!
Yang Reform originally thought that as a transmigrator, pretending to be a magic stick and opening golden fingers would be strong enough to defy the sky, but he didn't expect that he would meet a more powerful and heaven-defying existence here. "Only people can do it!"Yang Reform had already burst into tears. This matter was done too forcefully.

"Big companion, tell me what's going on!" Yang Reform thought for a long time, and felt that his brain was not enough, and this kind of thing could happen?Riding a car charges usury interest.Did I hear wrong?

Wang Chengen looked impossible. Obviously, he didn't believe that such a thing happened even more than Yang Reform. This is still at the feet of the emperor. Is this still the Imperial College?This is simply adding forced buying and strong selling to selling official porridge!
Although Wang Chengen looked untrustworthy, he still quickly answered the emperor's words, saying: "My lord, if I understand correctly, in this Imperial Prison, if there is no money to raise a prison, let him raise a prison with usury. If you are a prisoner of money, let him borrow the usury for three months. Even if you don’t borrow it, you will have to pay three months more interest on the usury. I’m afraid it will be calculated with 1000 taels..." Wang Chengen also felt that his head It's not enough, is this kind of thing okay?It's obviously a money grab!Is the sacrificial wine of Guozijian a pig?Can you do this kind of thing?If you charge more, you can charge more, and you can report more, but you are forcing others to pay usury and usury for three months, and you are blatant, what is it?The head of the Guozijian Jijiu is probably a little smarter than a pig.

Yang Reform scratched his hair, not knowing what to say.

Wang Chengen continued: "...If you don't pay the money, I'm afraid that others will not be imprisoned. In the name of needing an exam, others will have to pay more money. That's probably the case..." After Wang Chengen finished speaking, he also fell into deep trouble. Thinking deeply, thinking about the pig that the Guozijian’s sacrificial wine is, I have to treat this guy well when I turn around, this guy must know that lending usury is the emperor’s business, so he has the courage to let people borrow usury, Isn't this ruining the emperor's reputation?
Yang Reform was in a frenzy, Wang Chengen already had an idea, said: "My lord, do you want someone to call Li Ruolian here and ask him what's going on, this matter is too strange!"

"Okay, call Li Ruolian to ask, by the way, butler, do you know who are involved in this matter? Who is the chief officer here? Also, who is that guy sitting in the hall?" No matter how novice Yang Reform is, he knows that this kind of thing cannot be done.The grandiose ride-hailing collects usury.It was beyond the imagination of Yang Reform.

"This, the little one doesn't know, I have to ask to find out..." Wang Chengen didn't know that the pig did a good thing either.Then he said: "...Mr. Hui, as for the guy in the court hall, I don't even know him, but Kong Zhenyuan should be the one who sacrificed wine to the Imperial College. However, it seems that he was appointed recently, and he hasn't taken office yet. It seems that Guozijian’s sacrificial wine was involved in the Wei case and was dismissed, and now he is not in the Guozijian, and even Siye seems to be..." Wang Chengen said what he knew.

"That is to say, the current Guozijian is unsupervised? Who is that person sitting in the hall?" Yang Reform was speechless.

Wang Chengen didn't know that guy either, and said, "Master Hui, I don't even know the younger one..."

Yang Reform was speechless. This matter might spoil the matter of reopening the Imperial College, and it would ruin his own affairs!Yang Reform was depressed. How did Li Ruolian handle things? He was so unreliable.
