Sir, you have to pay more

Chapter 22 Support brothers in their careers!
The day before yesterday, after Yinglian Zou, Minister of the Ministry of Punishments and Minister of the Ministry of Accounts, asked for a big donation, Liu Tongxun, the Minister of Military Aircraft, and Man Zhang Jingsu Cheng'e of the Military Aircraft Department resolutely opposed it. The sale will definitely cause further corruption of the government.

Chief Minister of Military Aircraft Yu Minzhong and another Minister of Military Aircraft, Fu Longan, who is also the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, agreed to make a large donation, because there is really not much money in the treasury at the moment. Everyone has to take responsibility.

So Lin, the Minister of Military Aircraft who is also in charge of the affairs of the Ministry of War, quarreled directly with Liu Tongxun, and both sides disagreed.

Helpless, Yu Minzhong asked Shengyi whether to make a big donation, but was told that the emperor had gone to Yuanmingyuan.After discussing with Fu Long'an, Yu Minzhong asked Manzhang Jingqinggui to go to Yuanmingyuan to ask the emperor's exact will, so that the Military Aircraft Department can handle things easily.

The upright Qing Gui didn't agree with making a big donation, so he wanted to persuade the emperor about it, but the emperor didn't see him, so he just asked the servant to pass the Daokou order, saying that he asked the Military Aircraft Department to seriously supervise the big donation.

The matter has come to this point, and the big donation is impossible.

The efficiency of the Ministry of Officials is also fast, and soon took out 112 official positions above the fourth rank, and 124 titles below the baron, including the first-class captain of the light car. Easy to donate.

Therefore, in fact, the officials and nobles posted on the bulletin board by the Ministry of Officials are only half of the agreed donations.

But only half of this is enough to cause a major earthquake in the capital.

Big donation?

Just when Jia Liu, who was about to leave, wondered what a big donation was, the group of people who had looked at the list like him earlier rushed towards the post as if they had received some signal.

"Don't worry, don't worry, when I post the list, you can see for yourself!"

The crowd scrambled to ask questions, yelled about the posting style, and finally posted the official list on the notice column, and the crowd exploded in an instant.

"What a big donation, what a big donation!"

"I just said that the Queen Mother will live long, and the imperial court will definitely make a big donation. How about it, let me talk!"

"Good guy, all the first-class light cars, Captain Weijue, are sold!"

"Yan Fa Road, guard the road guard!"

"Front guards join the leadership, guards join the leadership, and Xiaoqi join the leadership! Be darling, there are all three ranks in the banner!"

"Lieutenant General? How is this possible!"

All the people watching the list were stunned by the newly posted big donated official positions. At this time, someone exploded: "My mother is a salt transport envoy, a salt transport envoy!"

"."

The explosion made the crowd who were still yelling just now instantly quiet down, and then they all left at the same time without looking back.

If you really look at it, you are in a hurry, and you go in a hurry.

Jia Liu was so confused that he didn't know what happened.

Next to him was a middle-aged man with experience who read the list with him. Seeing Jia Liu's bewildered expression, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Brother, don't you understand, a big donation is a good thing that only happens after many years. The official position given It’s much higher than the usual small donation, especially the salt transport envoy is a rare fat job in the world, even if it’s given to a governor, it won’t be exchanged, so those people have to go back quickly.”

The salt transport envoy, as the name suggests, must have something to do with the salt government. What was the most money-making person in the Qing Dynasty?
Of course it's salt.

In the Qianlong Dynasty, the salt merchants in Yangzhou were as rich as a country. Of course, they were also blackmailed by Qianlong.

Jia Liu probably understood the gold content of the salt envoy, but he was even more confused, and asked the middle-aged man, "Since there is a shortage of fat, why are they leaving?"

The man smiled "hehe" again, and said cheerfully: "Brother thinks these people are for me to see the rankings? How is that possible! They are all looking for those local rich men. Given such a good official title, can you hurry back and inform him, or else the message will be delivered late, and the vacancy will be bought by others, can the master spare him?"

It turned out to be the case.

Jia Liu nodded, because he cared too much in the game, so he came to see the list in person, or Shuan Zhu must have come to see for him, the young master.

Of course, it also shows that his young master's gold content is too low, and he is completely uncompetitive in donating to this project.

"Go, go over and have a look, and see what kind of vacancies the imperial court has given!"

The middle-aged man patted Jia Liu on the shoulder familiarly, signaling to go to the big donation list together.Jia Liu naturally followed the past to look at Qiqi, but he only glanced at it and couldn't look any further.

one word, expensive;

Two words, too expensive.

A striker from the third rank actually costs 24500 taels of silver, which can only be purchased by bannermen.

From the deputy general of the second product, there is no limit to the purchase of bannermen. The problem is that the asking price is 28800 taels.

The price of the salt transport envoy is even more astonishing, as high as 128400 taels!
This motherfucker is stealing money!

Jia Liu was terrified. He thought that the small official donation list just now was shameless enough, but he didn't expect this big donation list to be shameless.

He didn't know that the big list of official donations he was looking at was actually quite cheap, because those really expensive and hot vacancies were covered by the officials.

You must understand that the donations opened by the Qing court are not only for local tyrants to buy, but also for officials within the system.

Therefore, who can buy and who cannot buy, there are many ways inside.

It may not be possible to explain clearly all day and night.

Sighing lightly, shaking his head slightly, Jia Liu wisely left the list of big donation officials. The opportunity is rare, but he is really shy in his pocket.When I came to the list of small donation officials again, the more I looked at it, the more dissatisfied I became, and the more I looked, the more angry I became.

what is the reason?
The price/performance ratio is too low, and it cannot be compared with the list of big donors.

The lowest price on the small donation list is 980 taels for deputy county-level magistrates, but according to Jia Liu’s own inquiries (for fear that the second brother-in-law Gao Delu’s words will be watery), if you really want to win the bid and win the project, you need at least 1500 taels.

1500 taels doesn't sound like much, but the question is how much money does the Jia family have?

The day before yesterday, under the performance of Jia Liu's sincerity and filial piety, and under the "threat" that if he could not become an official, he might as well become a monk in a temple, Jia Daquan's psychological defense was finally broken little by little.

Finally, the eldest sister Jia Juan gave the final word.

"It's rare for the six sons to know how to make progress. Even if our family sells everything, we have to pay for the six sons to buy officials!"

Jia Juan, who is also in a difficult family, in order to support her baby brother in his career, and for the better future of her mother's family, in front of her silent husband, she expressed her willingness to sell all the jewelry that her mother's family gave as a dowry for her brother to buy an official!

It can probably be sold for around seven or eighty taels.

"Eldest sister is right. I'm just a younger brother like Liu Zi. It's fine if he doesn't learn well, but now I know what's good or bad. As the second sister, I can't just stand by and watch!"

After Jia Lan glanced at her husband who was frowning, she gritted her teeth and said that she offered two hundred taels.

The condition of the second sister's house is better than that of the eldest sister's, but the second sister's parents-in-law are all there, and the big family has no separation, so the young couple's private house money is not much, and two hundred taels is the limit.

It's not easy for two sisters, but 280 taels is not enough to buy the cheapest county magistrate, so the key still depends on Jia Daquan being the father.

"This...that's all. The aunts and grandmas who go out know how to think about their brothers. How can I, a father, not care about it!"

With all his heart, Jia Daquan gave the truth to his son and daughter.
