Chapter 1016 The main father Yan who failed in the second brush
“Sister An Ran is really resolute and decisive in doing things!”
Many people’s plans have always been on paper, and they have to wait until they are actually implemented. It will take a while, and there is a high probability that the plan will come to nothing.
But Ren Anran does things quickly without any sloppiness.
Ren Wuyang said he was going to die, and Ren Anran immediately bought a coffin and returned to Xijing City.
In order to find the soul jade for Ren Shengsheng, Ren Anran also completed the process on the same day and set off for the Tu'er clan.
After Zhang Xuezhou communicated with many people, he learned that it would be no problem for everyone to cooperate with Qin Meng's trip, so Qin Meng's trip set off.
This is much faster than the one or two months that Zhang Xuezhou estimated, but it is indeed easier for Ren Anran to do these things with the help of his special status.
One month after the last wave of hunting groups returned, they also boarded the Airbus bound for Qinmeng.
The Airbus will stop at a seaport and airport in the Omega Alliance, and then they will take passenger ships from this seaport to major ports in the Qinmeng Ruins.
This is a more conventional route, and there are also different passenger ships at the harbor going to various places in the Qinmeng ruins every day, which is far more flexible than the freighters carrying strange beasts back and forth.
Zhang Xuezhou only had time to say hello to Zuo Teng, who had an expression on his face, and then lay down.
"It is most shameful to waste your life on the road!"
After complaining bitterly, Zhang Xuezhou woke up from the guest house.
If he were not in the wilderness, Zhang Xuezhou would not need personal care from others.
The public security in Chang'an City is indeed good, and Zhang Xuezhou has no enemies, so he will not cause trouble if he just lies down.
When he woke up, he saw that food had been placed in the guest room in advance, but Rong Tianding and others were nowhere to be seen.
Rong Tianding and Xu Yuan were so busy after opening the "Brother Sanhao Food Store" that they rarely had time to wait in the room in a daze for Zhang Xuezhou to wake up.
After adjusting and eating, Zhang Xuezhou left the guest house.
He greeted the somewhat surprised boss and strode out of the hotel door.
The first thing Zhang Xuezhou did was not go to "Brother Sanhao Food Store", but to Jing Zhaoyi's mansion.
Twelve days later, Zhang Xuezhou felt that the list of the second batch of officials appointed by the imperial court should be down.
These things were announced outside Jing Zhaoyi Mansion, and then they found names to report.
“I don’t know which department I will be assigned to that will be left alone!”
The first wave of hired officials will undoubtedly take up their posts and need to do various things. Zhang Xuezhou also lost the opportunity. I don't think it's too pity, after all, there are some problems in his current state, and it is difficult for him to shine in the court immediately.
The officials recruited in the second wave are candidates, so certain selections can be made.
If you ignore the factors of cultivation and talent, Zhang Xuezhou feels that he has a lot of talents.
He can read, write, count, weigh, and identify medicinal materials. He has also recently learned the ancient method of childbirth and can cut the umbilical cords of various lactating creatures.
It is not a problem to become a small official with these talents, and you can even choose positions in many departments of the imperial court.
Zhang Xuezhou walked for a while, waited until his body was completely stretched, and then entered a trot.
He was thinking about the departments of the imperial court that he could insert himself into, and also about which department's people were most likely to meet the new emperor, so as to get an official position in the "gongshizhong".
Nearly half an hour later, he had seen the list of new officials announced outside Jing Zhaoyi's mansion.
It was about time after the initial announcement of the list, and there were not many people watching at this time.
“It’s impossible!”
Zhang Xuezhou successfully stood in front of the list and looked at the names of the recruited officials written on the bamboo slips.
He searched for a long time, but could not see the three words "Dongfang Shuo". "Do you also want to be an official?"
When a familiar voice came, Zhang Xuezhou turned around and immediately saw his master, who was dressed in tatters and had a fawning look on his face.
"You also came to Chang'an City to seek an official position?"
Zhang Xuezhou was a little unhappy when he saw that his name was not on the list, and even more unhappy when he saw his father Yan.
The master's father Yan was very straightforward in collecting money and doing things, but this kid was also very straightforward in betraying people.
If it weren’t for the fact that he had borrowed the help of Ning Cheng and others when he emerged from the tomb of King Liang, this guy would have become the target of his grudge.
But even though the matter has passed, Zhang Xuezhou has no thoughts of appreciation and friendship.
Mostly, if it can be done with money, he does not need to use human relationships to maintain it. Besides, people like Zhufu Yan pursue profit from the bottom, and will gravitate to whichever side there is benefit. Human relationships It can't be tied up either.
“I asked twice but failed to win,” the master’s father said dejectedly: “I heard that the two groups of officials appointed by the imperial court were either Confucian scholars with nepotism or virtuous people recommended by counties and counties. Fang Zheng, there are also a group of people who are willing to spend money to give gifts, and none of us who seek justice can get there.”
"Nepotism, virtuous and upright, spending money to give gifts?" Zhang Xuezhou asked curiously: "Your Majesty, there are so many ways to recruit virtuous people personally?"
"You don't understand the current officialdom," the master's father said in a dull voice: " I have traveled to many places, and it is the same everywhere. Even if a poor person like me is talented, it is impossible for him to become an official."
He complained and looked at Zhang Xuezhou eagerly.
“Can you lend me some money?” The master’s father said: “I will definitely pay you back after I become an official and take money!”
“You are thinking about being corrupt before you become an official. "Yes?" Zhang Xuezhou asked curiously.
"Which of today's officials is not greedy?" the master father said repeatedly: "Why else would those people spend money to become officials in order to contribute to the working people like us?"
"You are more straightforward!"
< br>Compared with the secretiveness of some people, Zhufu Yan undoubtedly dared to speak.
Of course, this is what Zhang Xuezhou is preparing to do.
Whenever he becomes an official, he must give some clues to get out. This is Li Shaojun's suggestion. Zhang Xuezhou thinks he can listen to it.
Li Shaojun was different from his master father Yan. If his master father Yan had spoken first and even suggested that Zhang Xuezhou be greedy, Zhang Xuezhou would definitely feel that this guy wanted to kill him.
But Li Shaojun also wanted to have a good relationship with Zhang Xuezhou in order to obtain information about Immortal Court. The other party's suggestions were indeed suitable for the current situation and were practical studies on emperorship and life-preserving officialdom.
This is an imperial autocratic dynasty. It is completely different from the system that the Red Alliance has restricted. If Zhang Xuezhou wants to be an official with the idea of working a nine-to-five civil servant with peace of mind, he should not be able to do it well. of.
Of course, it is not a question of whether he did well or not, but that his second recording also failed.
“You mean you have to spend money to give gifts to become an official?” Zhang Xuezhou asked, “How much does it cost?”
"I heard from others that you can just put thirty or fifty half a tael in the bamboo slips asking for an official," the master's father said in a low voice: "After all, you can't hold too many half a tael in a bamboo slip. If it leaks out, you will suffer a big loss!"< br>
“Like this?”
Zhang Xuezhou thought about the people who went to Jingzhaoyi's mansion to deliver bamboo slips. Some of them had half a tael of money in them. At that time, he laughed at this approach and felt that simplicity is the way to go according to Zhang Qian's words. Now it looks like He is the one who should be laughed at.
"High officials are easy to talk to, but Xiaomenqing is the most difficult to deal with." The master's father said: "The people above us don't like our little money, but those below will definitely put that batch first when collecting bamboo slips. Those who collect money will also make key recommendations!”
“That’s it!”
After being reminded by his father Yan, Zhang Xuezhou finally understood why he had been rejected twice when he applied for an official position.
There were many people involved in the funeral of Emperor Jing. There must have been a different group of people who did this. And this group of people probably didn’t have the ability to look for simple bamboo slips and look at them directly when they saw a single piece of bamboo. I scanned it and ignored it.
The corresponding method of selecting bamboo slips for job hunting is to collect money.
