Longevity begins with a dog

Chapter 68

"No."

Wang Hezhi suddenly came to his senses, frowned and looked at Xu Chong, "I said how long has it been since you became a canonist? Why are you in such a hurry to get promoted?"

"Students feel that the speed of cultivation is a bit slow. If they can work in the government office, they should be able to progress faster."

Xu Chong told the truth.

"Still too slow?"

Wang Hezhi blew his beard and stared.

"Time waits for no one, a man should forge ahead in this world."

Xu Chong looked at each other calmly.

Wang Hezhi was taken aback by the sudden earnestness, and then suddenly laughed: "Hahahaha..."

"Um, why are you laughing, Master?"

Xu Chong asked puzzledly.

"Of course I laugh because I'm happy."

Wang Hezhi patted Xu Chong's shoulder vigorously, "Once upon a time, the old man thought, what would you do if you were to waste your life without the help of the imperial examination? Now it seems that there is no need to worry about this at all."

"Master Lau is worried."

Xu Chong thanked him with his hand, and then shook his head: "It's a pity that the rules are like this. The students seem to be powerless."

"No no no."

Wang Hezhi stroked his white beard, with an inscrutable smile on his face, "If you don't care about grades, but just want to work in a government office, I still have a way."

"Don't consider the grade...is it a transfer at the same level?"

Xu Chong raised his eyebrows, and suddenly lowered his voice: "You still have this way?"

"...What are you talking about?"

Wang Hezhi's old face twitched, and he said in a bad mood: "Promotion can only be achieved through hard work. If you are lucky, you will have high-risk and high-reward tasks. But if it is just a transfer at the same level, there is actually the most direct way."

"any solution?"

Xu Chong became serious.

"contribute."

Wang Hezhi said in a deep voice.

"Contribution... yes!"

Xu Chong suddenly remembered what Zhou Ze said, "Since contributions can be exchanged for money in private transactions, there is no reason why they cannot be exchanged for other things."

"No, you are wrong."

Wang Hezhi shook his head, "Contributions are exchanged for some property in private. Even if the court finds out, it will be fine, but when it comes to official positions, even if it's just a transfer at the same level, no one dares to make a mistake... The contribution I'm talking about is Refers to spending and contributing, and directly applying to the imperial court for transfer."

"...is it still possible?"

Xu Chong was a little dazed.

"I said before that the matter of the spiritual land is not a secret. The reason why it is not widely spread is that the imperial court wants local officials to perform their duties."

As Wang Hezhi said, the topic changed: "But there are always exceptions in everything. For people like you, only a few people know about it through accidental events, and most of them come from high-ranking families."

"In terms of official positions, these people also have to suffer if they want to be promoted, but after all, they know the secret of the spiritual land from the very beginning. If they are still like you and me, they can only squat honestly in the yamen where the aura is thin, how can they be reconciled? ?”

"So naturally, the imperial court formulated a policy of using contributions to apply for reassignment."

Xu Chong was a little speechless.

Would such a powerful Qing court come up with such a flexible policy?
"Don't be too happy too soon."

Wang Hezhi smiled, "If you want to be transferred through this method, you must meet two conditions."

"Appreciate further details."

Xu Chong looked solemn.

"First of all, the yamen you want to transfer to must have a vacancy,"

Wang Hezhi pointed to Xu Chong, "A vacancy at the same level as yours."

"As it should be."

Xu Chong nodded.

If there is no vacancy and can be transferred, it means that additional staff will be added, or the original post will be squeezed out. This is definitely not a chaos that the court can allow.

"Secondly, you have to contribute so much and be willing."

Wang Hezhi continued, "Let's take you as an example. It's also an unpopular position. From the county government's history to being transferred to the government's prison, how much contribution do you think it will cost?"

Xu Chong's face tightened, "Three o'clock? Five o'clock?"

Wang Hezhi shook his head and said in a deep voice, "It's ten o'clock."

Xu Chong: "..."

Ten points of contribution... If he only relied on the imperial court to distribute it, he would have to accumulate it for ten years to save so much, which is a year slower than waiting for the general exam honestly.

"If you want to be transferred to the provincial government office, you can double the amount ten times and contribute one hundred points."

Wang Hezhi chuckled, "So, even those high-ranking families, unless they have talented juniors worthy of great efforts to train, they generally wouldn't do this."

"I understand."

Xu Chong pondered for a moment, bowed his hands and bowed, "Thank you, Master, for clarifying the confusion."

……

……

The hall of the county government office.

Xu Chong sat on the main seat, closed his eyes and thought.

"The imperial court has set the cost so outrageously, it really doesn't give the low-level people a chance."

"One thing to say, this has indeed avoided part of the chaos in the officialdom."

"How many people are willing to spend so much contribution just to change places?"

Xu Chong tapped on the table, "But...I am different."

"Others improve mainly by practicing diligently. The bonus of spiritual land level to the speed of cultivation is far from that important to them. Naturally, it is more cost-effective to save the contribution for the cultivation method."

"But I'm different. I can accelerate the generation of spiritual sources by increasing the concentration of spiritual energy."

"Don't talk about a mere [-] points of contribution, if you can be transferred to Fudi or even a yamen at the level of Dongtian, [-] points of contribution are worth it."

"So……"

Xu Chong opened his eyes and called Zhao Liu in.

"Go to the residence newspaper for nearly ten years, and get all the reward orders."

If you want to make a contribution, it is natural to catch the rebels in Taipingdao the fastest.

I didn't dare to think about it before, but now it's different.

With the strength of the sixth level of Tongmai, and Wuxiangyi in his hand, his fault tolerance rate has more than doubled by more than ten times.

"Step by step, just go to the government office first, just ten points of contribution, so it won't be too eye-catching."

that's it.

Xu Chong threw himself into the boundless documents.

Capturing traitors can certainly get contributions faster, but the target needs to be screened slowly.

This is not an easy task.

The reward order issued by the Ministry of Punishment is open to all people, without even a specific level of strength.

For example, the water ghost's reward order has only a few lines of deeds.

Four years ago, he assassinated Mu Changqing, the ruler of the Zhanghua Mansion. This year, he assassinated Wu Wenjing and intercepted hundreds of blood-clothed guards.

Neither Mu Changqing, nor Wu Wenjing, nor the hundred blood-clothed guards had marked their level of strength, let alone Shui Gui's own.

Everything can only be guessed.

It is worth mentioning that, among the two portraits on the reward order, one is of the water ghost himself, that is, the facial features that Xu Chong glimpsed that night, and the other... is of Zhou Ze.

There is also Wei Wuxie, one is Wei Wuxie himself, and the other is the housekeeper Lao Li...

Xu Chong felt that this should have a lot to do with him.

However, one of the two couldn't fight, and the other died, so Xu Chong threw it aside without thinking about it, and continued to screen the rest.

But just this step took up half a month of Xu Chong's time.

It wasn't until the spiritual source accumulated to 2 points that he finally screened out a few suitable targets.
