Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 807 Weird
"Please drink this cup to the brim!"

"Please!"

Amid the interlacing of cups and chips, everyone smiled and rejoiced.

In a blink of an eye, it was time for the dinner party. In just one day, people from this generation county, and even the entire generation county, gathered from all over in such a short period of time.

Many of them came in such a hurry that they didn't even have time to breathe or rest. They hurried over to attend the dinner, so the smell of travel on their bodies had not dissipated, and the fatigue was clearly visible on their faces. , but still holding on, their eyes slowly focused on the tables placed in the courtyard.

As soon as these people arrived at the Chen Mansion, they were told that they would pass an assessment today to select talented people from aristocratic families who could assist the Lord in the General's Mansion in the future.

As soon as these words were said, everyone immediately understood that only those who stand out in this evaluation will be able to get one of the nine places in the future.

This idea of ​​evaluation is still a bit new to the Daijun family, but when you think about the gatherings of some literati, they would recite poems, compare poems, and compete with each other after drinking and eating, and you will understand.

What's more, there were rumors of several rich fights in Luoyang not long ago, which also opened the eyes of Daijun people. Thinking of Chen Zhi's origin, they thought it might be some customs in Luoyang, and many people were still thinking about it. , should you follow suit after you go back to show your elegance?

Some people in this group of people thought of something.

"I heard that when Fu Jun was in Xuzhou, he also participated in the evaluation and selection. Perhaps this method was learned from that time."

"I just remembered that during the reign of Emperor Zhaolie, there was a method of evaluation and selection. I heard that it was done by Marquis Chen. It may be similar to the one selected by the Fujun."

"So that's it. When you said this, I also remembered that the Puppet Wei seemed to have followed suit, but they just imitated others and were still destroyed by the Han..."

"You guys, you are really confused. You have been assessed and evaluated, and you still haven't thought of the Luoyang reviews? Could it be that the name has been changed, and it is no longer a competition of calligraphy, painting, poetry and poetry, so you don't understand the mystery?"

"That's right! I really didn't react for a moment, but it's not surprising. After all, it's a matter of the capital. We are in this county, trapped on the border, and it is difficult to leave easily. How many people have actually been to Luoyang? I'm afraid it's even worse than Luoyang. If you don’t belong to the tribe outside the pass, they have some children, and when they reach their age, the court will take them over and study them in Luoyang!”

The topic ran away as we talked about it, but some people were already familiar with Chen Zhi's life, so they could talk about it, but there were still some people who whispered about this generation of county officials as they talked. The situation of the aristocratic family——

"Then the Tang family is busy in vain."

"Isn't it? It's a promise, a contact, almost all the favors and connections, just to finalize the matter before the dinner party, and then let the major families recommend it, the result is good, Mr. Fu If you just say that you have to rely on the evaluation to speak for yourself, no matter how sincere the recommendations and recommendations from other families are, it will be useless." "Actually, I think that the Tang family has saved a lot of embarrassment because of this. You probably haven't. You know, the Tang family sent people to contact several major families, but they were all rejected. They gave various excuses. Some said that they should respect the prince's opinion, some said that they had already decided and they would fight for it, and some even said it on the spot. He read a few poems to express his determination. Even the declining Liu family and Zheng family didn't buy it. You said that if this was really carried out according to the original situation, the Tang family would have wasted their human relations. In the end, the big families competed with each other. Tang If you lose the election, the favor you spent will never come back!"

"So that's it. Brother Wang is still very powerful. He is indeed one of the branches of the Wang family. However, our small family cannot get involved in these matters. If the big family dares to reject the Tang family, we will not dare to refuse even if we are a little jealous. And Zheng The Liu family, they are so skinny that a camel is bigger than a horse, and we can’t compare.”

……

Many of these people were talking about the Tang family. On the surface, they were respectful and did not dare to be so explicit and sensitive, but there was a hint of schadenfreude in their tone that could not be concealed.

This is not a Daijun family that just likes to see other families suffer misfortune, but the Tang family has made a lot of money recently, which is really enviable.

In fact, as Chen Zhi took out the white paper and ceramics and distributed the profits to the Daijun family, countless pairs of eyes were staring at it. However, although the benefits were huge, they were still in short supply. Only a few top families in Daijun , in order to get a share of the pie, other small clans and clans can at most take advantage of the development of Daijun to make some money from other aspects, but compared with the big head, they are really nothing but scum.

Among these wealthy families, the Tang family stands out. Not only does the Daijun paper share the profits, but the output of the Dai kiln also accounts for a lot of their income. I heard that one month's harvest can catch up with the previous year's revenue. !

You can only look at it, but you can't touch it. Who wouldn't be jealous?

After all, Chen Zhi is the one who brought out the fat. Without him, there would be no current situation in Daijun. But who are you, the Tang family?It's just that I stood in line a little faster and had better luck. Other than that, in the eyes of others, it's nothing special. Why did I take all the benefits?

This kind of emotion is not only circulated among the people of small tribes, but also expressed in places where big tribes gather. Tang Dian and Tang Zi of the Tang family were sitting behind the low table but did not talk to others, just feeling this emotion. atmosphere.

In fact, when he first arrived at the Chen Mansion, Tang Zi, who was good at dancing, tried to talk to several families, but after a few words, someone secretly ridiculed him. Once or twice, Tang Zi could remain calm and speak in a neither humble nor overbearing manner. His retorts showed his wit, but as the number of times increased and people were speaking everywhere, he became a little tired of dealing with them, and didn’t want to stand around and take the piss. So he and his uncle sat in the corner, waiting for Chen Zhi, the superior, to issue instructions. , and fortunately, I can perform well in the next evaluation.

They also know that their family will most likely become a topic of conversation for other families, and even some of the words of discussion will fall into the ears of the uncle and nephew, but it is not easy to have an attack here, and the law does not punish everyone, and those families also see someone Take the lead and there are many people, so the discussion will begin.

On the other hand, just as others discussed, the Tang family was surprised by this evaluation, and felt that it was reasonable. At the same time, they were relieved. Otherwise, there would be a big family that would not help, and a small family. It’s a situation where the family is wasting favors.

At the same time, while everyone was drinking and talking, they were also paying attention to Chen Zhi's movements. They saw him sitting at the top, talking to several tribesmen and subordinates. At the same time, his eyes were scanning everywhere, as if he was observing everyone.

Little did he know that with just one glance, all the luck on everyone's heads came into Chen Zhi's eyes, which immediately made the Daijun prefect frown, feeling strange and uneasy.
