Sir, you have to pay more

Chapter 57 Sir, Gong Xi Fa Cai

The governor of Sichuan was appointed in the thirteenth year of Qianlong's reign because of Jinchuan's use of troops.

The yamen was originally stationed in Chengdu. The year before last, in order to facilitate the transportation of food by the supervising troops, Altai, the governor at the time, directly packed the governor's mansion to Chongzhou, which was close to the front line.

Since then, the nest has not been moved.

After the excited Jia Liu rewarded Ge Wu with a few taels of silver, he immediately took Er Yang, the bodyguard and groom, into Ge Wu's carriage and went straight to the governor's office.

The guard asked Ge Wu to inform Jia Liu to go to the dispatch room of the Governor's Mansion to go through the formalities of becoming an official.

For example, letters of appointment, official uniforms, badges and so on.

Although he is only a ninth-rank Lan Lingchang, he looks like a sesame mung bean, but it means a lot to Jia Liu, because it means that he is no longer a career staff member of the Qing Dynasty, but an official civil servant.

On this battlefield, if you want to change from career to full-time, you need at least two or three heads.

Besides, from the ninth grade to the first grade, it is only sixteen levels away. Jia Liu is young, so he can climb slowly.

Anyway, he's improved.

On the carriage, Yang Zhi asked with concern: "Master, what kind of official did your lord get for you?"

Jia Liu happily replied, "Lan Lingchang."

"What grade is Lan Lingchang an official?"

Yang Zhi didn't know much about the market inside the banner, but the young master ignored him. He sat there and looked at the buildings and pedestrians passing by outside the window with great interest. screaming, it sounds like some incompetent son."

"Hey, yes, master!"

Yang Zhi fully agreed, and at the same time felt very honored: Young master is really good, he became an official before he even went to the front line.

The carriage soon arrived at the residence of the Governor's Mansion.

After Ge Wu parked the car, he told Mr. Jia where the value house of the Governor's Mansion was, and he drove away.

Jia Liushun asked, "Where is your lord?"

Ge Wudao: "Master Ah has gone to Jinchuan, and he wants to tell Master Jia, the younger one, that after going to the army, listen more and talk less about everything. Don't try your best."

"well."

Jia Liu nodded repeatedly, thinking that Lao Ah could get along with He Shen just as well, but he didn't know where Lao Ah was transferred, otherwise he would have to bring some souvenirs to see him if he had the chance.

As for the relationship, the closer you go, the more stable you go.

"You two stay here."

After a few instructions, Jia Liu straightened his clothes, dusted his buttocks, and went to the duty room outside the Governor's Mansion.

The residence of the Governor's Mansion is the original Yuewang Temple in Chongzhou City, and many houses around it have also been requisitioned by the Governor's Mansion, and many officials are going in and out.

There may be twenty or thirty guards at the gate, standing there motionless with spears in hand, looking very elite.

There are many horses tied to a row of horse posts on the opposite side, and a few soldiers who look like horses are chatting.

Jia Liu walked to the valet next to the door, and politely asked the person inside: "Excuse me, how do I get to the dispatch room?"

A pen post looked up at Jia Liu and asked him what's the matter?

Jia Liudao: "I'm here to handle official credentials."

"Official certificate? Come with me."

Hearing this, the man got up and walked out, motioning Jia Liu to follow him.

"Hey! Excuse me!"

Jia Liu stepped forward in small steps and stuffed a red seal containing five taels of silver that he had prepared long ago into the opponent's hand.

A seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister's gate, the style of writing in the Governor's Mansion must be eighth-rank.

Even if Jia Liu became an official, he should be polite to this person who works in a key department of the government.

Needless to say, the lethality of the red seal.

"Listen to the accent, are you from Beijing?"

The pen post style face is obviously different, very kind.

"Hey, I'm from Beijing."

Jia Liu paid attention and followed closely at all times, but always kept a step away.

"In the flag?"

"At the flag!"

"Hey, which flag is it from?"

"The Han army is facing the blue flag."

"Oh, I am from Mongolia with a white flag, and so is the governor." When he said this, the expression on his face was very proud.

"Is it because you asked someone to leave, or did you donate directly?"

"It was donated, but someone was invited."

While speaking, Jia Liu followed the post to the gate of the Governor's Mansion.The post nodded to the soldier guarding the gate and was let in.

Based on this point, not to mention that he is from the Eight Banners of Mongolia, even if he is a Han, Jia Liu has to make sacrifices.

The highest yamen that Jia Liu had entered before was the Dutong Yamen of the Zhenglan Banner of the Han Army. It is much worse.

Yang Yuchun, the bodyguard and groom, said that the governor's yamen was the former Yuewang Temple, so when Jia Liu entered, he saw the words "Xin Zhao Sun and Moon" hanging on the hall in the distance.

There were six guards in yellow jackets standing on both sides of the door, and more than a dozen officials wearing flower feathers were waiting outside the hall.

It seems that there are important people in the temple.

"Here, don't look around, the governor is discussing with Wen Zhongtang."

Reminding Jia Liu in a pen-style manner, the front lead the way and took Jia Liu to a row of houses.

There are wooden signs hanging outside each house, which looks similar to Jia Liu's previous unit.

Needless to say, this is an office under the governor's yamen.

There are a lot of people, and some houses are crowded with dozens of people.

Following the post, Jia Liu was taken to the westernmost room as he passed through the crowd.

There was also a queue at the door, about ten people.

After asking Jia Liu's name, the post entered the room, and after a while, he came out and asked Jia Liu to line up here. When he was called, he could go in and go through the formalities.

After finishing speaking, leave directly.

Jia Liu wondered if this guy brought seven or eight people in a day, wouldn't he be able to pay a county magistrate a year's salary?
It's no wonder that people are going to drill into the mechanism.

Oil and water, big.

When he walked to the end of the line and waited honestly, the man in front of the line who looked at the big and the thick turned his head to look at Jia Liu, and said with a smile: "The one who donated the official?"

Jia Liu nodded: "Hey, donate an official."

The statement is very particular, it is a donation, not a purchase.

Donate, that is to relieve the court's worries.

Buy it, it doesn't sound good.

"What official did you donate?"

The big man is very "gossip".

Jia Liu thought it was no secret, and he, an official, didn't like it, so he said it was Lan Lingchang.

"Blue Feather?"

The big man stood there in a daze, as if he was thinking about something, and then suddenly realized: "Are you a bannerman?"

Jia Liu nodded: "Hey, at the flag."

Unexpectedly, the big man enthusiastically pulled him to the front, Jia Liu hurriedly said no, but the big man could not help but insist on standing behind him.

Jia Liu thought about the identity of the bannerman, which is really easy to use, thinking that the person in front should also take the initiative to give way, but he didn't think that the person in front remained motionless like a pillar, and didn't even look back at Master Jia.

This is a good guy.

Jia Liu was not doing well, so it was no problem to wait, so he went back and continued talking with the heroes among the heroes.

"Which unit is your eldest brother? What is your surname, and where is it?"

Calling someone "big brother" means the same thing as someone who stretches out his hand and doesn't smile. Jia Liu knows how to do it well.

The big man said his name was Cao Dahua, he was from Yangping Guanying, Xinghan Town, Lvying, Shaanxi Province, and now he is the general manager in front of the foreign committee. I didn't hear that the governor's yamen opened a donation channel, so he specially pooled money with fellow villagers to donate a real post as the general manager. Dry.

Jia Liu, the official of the foreign commissioner, knows that the authority is the same as that of the general, but the general is always the seventh rank, and the foreign commissioner is always the ninth rank.

"Then congratulations to Brother Cao!"

"Happy together."

"."

After chatting without nutrition for a while, Jia Liu began to inquire about the frontline military situation in a targeted manner.

In fact, Cao Dahua had only been transferred from Shaanxi for a few months, and he had been working behind the scenes to transport luggage, so he didn't know much about the specific situation on the front line.

But he talked about some things that Jia Liu didn't know.

For example, the three-way army formed by the imperial court failed to make much progress this year. I heard that they suffered a defeat in the Garla Mountain, the gateway to Dajinchuan, and lost hundreds of people.

"I heard that Wen Zhongtang was in a hurry, so he personally led the army up. It seems that the camp is set up in Muguomu."

The two chatted like this, and the people in front were called in from time to time, and when they came out, they all held their newly issued official uniforms, all of them beaming with joy.

This made Jia Liu happy.

Finally, after another half an hour, his name was called from the room.

"The Han army is facing the blue flag, Jia Dongge!"

"exist!"

After suppressing the excitement in his heart, Jia Liu stepped up the steps vigorously and steadily, and stepped into the gate leading to the political arena of the Qing Dynasty.

The space inside the room is actually very large, with seven or eight tables lined up in front and back, each table is stacked with a number of files, and several pen posts and small officials are busy.

"This way,"

A person who looked like a foreman stretched out his hand to greet Jia Liu and asked him to show his identification. I found Jia Liu's name in the roster of Baitang's children submitted by the Eight Banners of the Han Army, and then began to ask the names of Jia Liu's ancestors for several generations. .

What is professionalism.

This is.

The letter of appointment was in quadruplicate, one was handed over to the place where Jia Liu went to work; one was kept in the governor's office; one was sent to the Ministry of War in Beijing;

After writing, the post looked up at Jia Liu carefully for a moment, and then began to write his facial features in the lower right corner of each letter of appointment, including whether there were any moles on his face, and how many moles there were.

Look, it is very cumbersome.

However, Jia Liu was strong.

Otherwise, how can it appear that his official position is not easy to come by.

Finally, after the archivist had completed all the documents, he asked Jia Liu to see if his letter of appointment was correct.

Jia Liu hurriedly stepped forward to probe, and took a closer look, he was really a ninth-grade blue feather.

That heart, just like being ironed with an iron, is very warm.

Just as he was about to reach out and take the one that belonged to him, the pen tapped twice on the table.

Ah, understand, understand!
Jia Liu hurriedly took out another prepared red envelope from his pocket and put it on the table.

He opened the "drawer" like a pen, and threw the red envelope into it without even looking at it.Inside, there are more than ten packages.

After the general handed over the certificate to Jia Liu, he instructed him to go to the back to get the official uniform, official hat, official boots and Lan Lingchang's waist badge.

back door?

It was only then that Jia Liu noticed that the house had two doors, and hurried out through the other door, but it was a small alley.

The alley leads to both ends.

which end?

Jia Liu was about to go back to ask, but Xitou poked out a chubby head, and stretched out his hand to greet him with a happy face: "My lord, this way, this way!"

"Hey!"

The shout of "Master" made Jia six times more comfortable, so he hurried over.

When we walked to the end, we found that it was actually a small square with a few temporary sheds set up on it.

In the shed, all kinds of official uniforms were piled up everywhere.Some looked new, as if they had just been picked up from a tailor's shop.

This made Jia Liu a little messy, but he quickly adapted.

The governor of Sichuan sells officials a lot, so it's no good if you don't have enough goods.

"My lord, please show me your official certificate, so that the little ones can prepare it for your lord!"

The chubby head in charge brought Jia Liu back to his senses, and hurriedly showed his official credentials. After seeing it, the fat man shouted to the back: "Master Jiupin Lan Ling!"

"okay!"

Following the operation of the assembly line, Jia Liu's official uniform, official hat, and official boots were found from different places, and placed one by one on the long table in front of him.

Casual is casual, but as long as it's genuine.

Looking at the brand-new official hat and uniform, Jia Liu felt that all the grievances and misunderstandings he had suffered these days were worth it.

Just as he was about to reach out, he didn't expect a big hand to be placed on the official uniform before him.

The singing sounded.

A chorus of eight.

neat and tidy.

Sonorous and powerful.

"Congratulations, my lord, for your good fortune. Congratulations, my lord, for your prosperity.

Receive!
The fat steward stretched out his hand and smiled all over his face: "My lord, let the little ones share your joy?"
