Fu Qin starts with a plan

Chapter 148 I wanted to refuse, but the money is too much

Zhao Kun's method of selling officials had already been used during the period of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty.

However, it was the end of the dynasty at that time, so many people regarded selling officials as the source of disaster for the country.

But to really trace the history of selling officials, we have to start from the Qin Dynasty.

It is recorded in "Historical Records" that in 243 BC, Qin Shihuang ordered that every time 1000 stone millets were handed over, the nobleman would be promoted to one level.

That's right, you heard it right, it was Qin Shihuang who first betrayed officials.

It's just that Qin Shihuang didn't do as well as Emperor Han Ling did, so he just made some food and never thought about making money.

Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was the emperor who really pushed the sale of officials to new heights. In order to ensure the recycling of official positions, he did not allow anyone to occupy official positions for a long time, so he chose to replace them regularly.

The term is one year.

In other words, if you spend money, you can only be an official for one year.

After one year, no matter how much you earn or how little you earn, you have to come down and bid again.

In this way, the official position can generate value circularly.

Although there are risks in buying an official, and you may face Party A breaking the contract from time to time, there are still many people flocking to it.

After all, in ancient times, officials represented the top of the aristocratic class. No matter how rich you are, if no one in your family is an official, you will have to be inferior when you go out.

So if you have money, you can buy an official Guangzong Yaozu. For rich people, no matter how high the price is, it is not a problem.

It is also worth noting that Qin Shihuang sold officials, not all officials, and the Sangong Jiuqing and the like did not sell them.

Emperor Han Ling dared to sell anything, as long as you were not an emperor and had money, you could buy any official you wanted, and the price was clearly marked, and there was no deception.

Perhaps because of the experience of selling officials, Ying Zheng became more and more interested in Zhao Kun's methods of selling officials, so that after he asked the price, he sat back calmly and asked Zhao Kun: "Then my son? How are you going to price it?"

Zhao Kun thought for a while, and then replied: "The specific pricing is generally calculated based on Daqin's annual salary."

"Annual salary?"

Ying Zheng frowned, a little dissatisfied.

Because Daqin's annual salary is not high.

If the annual salary is used to set the price, the income will definitely not be high.

Seemingly seeing Ying Zheng's thoughts, Zhao Kun added with a smile: "Although I said that the price is based on Daqin's annual salary, the calculation of selling an official is different."

"Oh?" Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows: "What's the difference?"

Zhao Kun: "For example, an official position of a thousand stones should be priced at tens of millions of dollars, while an official position of a hundred stones should be priced at a million dollars..."

Snapped--

Before Zhao Kun finished speaking, the tea cup in Ying Zheng's hand fell on the table without warning.

At the same time, a splash of water splashed, hitting the faces of himself and Zhao Kun.

Seeing this, Zhao Kun was taken aback, quickly wiped his face, and asked, "Father, are you alright?"

"I……"

Ying Zheng was startled, stared blankly at Zhao Kun for a few seconds, then took another cup with trembling hands, filled it with tea silently, and drank it down in one gulp.

After a while, he shook his head and said, "It's okay, you continue!"

Zhao Kun gave a strange "oh" when he heard this, and then said: "Then, did the adoptive father understand what you said just now? The final price of an official position is often more than ten thousand times the annual salary!"

Snapped!
Ying Zheng dropped the teacup again.

I rub!

Is this motherfucker a prostitute?This is clearly a money grab, okay?
Back then, I sold an official, but I wasn't so ruthless!

Zhao Kun's approach directly refreshed Ying Zheng's cognition and made him feel like he had obtained the wealth code.

Although he felt that it was wrong to sell an official, Zhao Kun's methods were too exciting.

Whether it is the first type of official position or the second type of official position, they are all within the controllable range. As long as they are appointed and dismissed according to the probationary model, they will not be able to influence the court situation, and there will be no chaos.

In this way, you can make a lot of money.

But reason told Ying Zheng that things were not that simple.

Sure enough, after hesitating for a while, Zhao Kun lowered his voice and said: "Father, although this move can make quick money, don't forget our great cause!"

Ying Zheng: "..."

"After the person who helped you sell the official has tasted the sweetness, you must encourage him to sell the third type of official."

"What is the third category of officials?"

Zhao Kun: "It's just some county officials, county officials."

Ying Zheng: "." I knew it, you really have no good intentions, kid!
It would be fine if it sold the first and second categories of officials, but if it sold the third category of officials, then Da Qin didn't know what kind of chaos it would be.

After pondering for a moment, Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Kun with complicated eyes, and said, "My son has never thought about it. If there is something wrong with the third category of officials, what should the first emperor do if he is held accountable?"

"Did the righteous father forget? The first emperor is dying!"

"The third type of officials took office. It is estimated that the first emperor died before the corruption. Once the first emperor dies, the Great Qin will be in chaos. Can they still be officials?"

Ying Zheng: "Spent a lot of money and can't be an official. Isn't my son worried about the family behind them making trouble?"

"puff--"

Hearing this, Zhao Kun chuckled: "Father, what are you thinking? They are causing trouble, and it will only benefit us!"

Ying Zheng: "..."

"The official position was sold to them by the Great Qin Court. Even if the adoptive father participated in it, it was only a middleman who made the difference. If they wanted to make trouble, they would only cause trouble to the Great Qin Court."

Ying Zheng: "..."

"And the Great Qin court obviously won't admit to such bad debts, and will definitely kill them."

"In this way, the Great Qin court and the nobles will stand on opposite sides. The so-called enemy's enemy is a friend. Wouldn't it be flattering for us to contact them again and fight against Qin together with our enemies?"

Ying Zheng: "..."

Happy?
I love your mother's legs!
Is this what people do?

After hearing Zhao Kun's words, Ying Zheng trembled with anger. Seeing this, Zhao Kun hurriedly asked, "Father, what's wrong with you? Did you get sick again? Do you want to take medicine?"

Facing Zhao Kun's three soul questions, Ying Zheng wanted to cry without tears, and wanted to give him a big mouth, but after seeing his concerned eyes, he finally decided not to show his cards!
Because once there is a showdown, Zhao Kun will not be the current Zhao Kun.At that time, he will be unable to guard against the poisonous schemes of the Qin Dynasty all over his body.

Well, start today and be a qualified undercover agent.

After hesitating for a moment, Ying Zheng waved his hand weakly: "Father is fine...just take it easy, what other plans do you have, tell him..."

"my plan?"

Zhao Kun was stunned for a moment, and asked in confusion, "Didn't you tell the adoptive father before?"

"Huh? What?"

"Strike Frequency Sun!"

Ying Zheng: "..."

Zhao Kun tilted his head: "What? Father still doesn't believe I can do it?"

I really didn't believe it before, but now I do, you brat!
Ying Zheng raised his hand to his forehead and sighed, "Can you tell foster father how you want to conquer Pinyang?"

"cannot!"

Zhao Kun shook his head and refused.

Ying Zheng raised his head suddenly: "And why?"

"Because of Lao Li! Lao Li can't be trusted!"

Nima!

How much enmity you have with Li Si!
Ying Zheng clenched his fists tightly, angry in his heart, but suppressed his impulse, and said solemnly: "Don't worry, my son, your foster father will never tell Lao Li about your plan!"

"Really?"

"What? You can't trust your adoptive father?"

Zhao Kun scratched his head and said, "It's not that I can't trust my adoptive father, but that the executor of this plan hasn't come back yet, and I don't know the specific situation..."

"Who is the executor?"

"Wu Cheng."

Hearing this name, Ying Zheng froze for a moment, and suddenly remembered Li Jiang's chief guard, who seemed to be called Wu Cheng.

No wonder I didn't see Wu Cheng when I came to Pinyang, it turned out that I was sent out by him to handle errands.

If Wu Cheng was here, there would probably be no such absurdity of the biological father admitting the adoptive father.

Thinking of this, Ying Zheng smiled wryly in his heart, lamenting that everything is fate, but he was a little curious, why Zhao Kun was planning on Pinyang before he recognized his adoptive father?
