Chapter 103 Starting Price

Han Yong, as a feudal official, not only has the position of governor, but also has the military affairs of Guangxi. I know that the appointment of him by the imperial court is not a decoration, but to ensure peace in the whole province. One of the thief soldiers had not been wiped out, and the other rose up again, which really made him big and upset. Since it is not easy to have a forest in his jurisdiction, he has to shoulder the peace of a house. In this way, Han Yong's pressure can also be slightly less, and he will also explain it to the court. Otherwise, he will be dismissed from the government and even kill his head. After all, the main purpose of letting him come here is to eliminate the rebels.

Lin Zimo, standing at the end, did not make a sound and looked at the group of people quarreling. The room was as noisy as a vegetable market. Han Yong, who wants to promote him exceptionally, naturally guarantees him to serve as the governor of Xunzhou. After all, on the one hand, he can share part of the pressure for himself, and on the other hand, it is to better attract Lin Zimo.

Although the grade of officials in the Ming Dynasty was nine grades and 18 grades, each grade position was a watershed for the official class. Those below the seventh grade can't be called an official. After all, no one in the powerful class will regard this section of people as a matter. Even if Lin Zimo is promoted from the ninth grade to the eighth grade, and then to the seventh grade, it will not attract special attention and opposition from the privileged class. In addition, Pingnan County is a disaster place, and it is not good and fat, so no one will notice his existence.

Once the official rank reaches the fourth grade, it means that this person has become the backbone of the court. The actual shortage of such magistrate will naturally attract the attention of the relevant privileged classes. After all, the "starting price" of the emperor's draft girl also starts from this grade. If you can get to the second-grade official position again, then the closure of Xinjiang into the cabinet and affecting the government is just around the corner. Only officials at this level are real high-ranking officials.

If Han Yong strongly recommends Lin Zimo to be in an idle position at the same level, I'm afraid that the opposition of the officials below him will never be so loud. At most, he will be shouting for non-compliance. Lin Zimo, who did not make a sound, knew that the real power in the hands of the magistrate of the Ming Dynasty was many times greater than that of the later municipal party secretaries. No matter in that era, if you really get to this position, you will absolutely shine.

The governor of Nanning, who opposed this site at the front desk, slowly retreated to the second line and directly became an opposition group led by the governor of Guangxi. They are not afraid or worried about Lin Zimo, an official who is born and has no family background. Therefore, he raised slogans that were not in line with the rules of his ancestors and resolutely opposed Han Yong's promotion as a magistrate. There is a clear understanding in the room. Whoever is from it will contribute to maintenance and debate for him. They quarreled for half a day, and finally discussed it the next day.

Han Yong, who was somewhat unhappy, took two sips of tea and eased his mood and said, "If meritorious people are rewarded, otherwise they will chill the hearts of the soldiers. Since Zhao Wenxuan, a deputy of thousands of households, has made great achievements in the war, so he has been promoted to five thousand households.

His decision did not attract any objections below. In an era when the status of a civilian is higher than that of a military attache, if a military officer does not become a second-grade officer, there is really not much status. This group of civil servants from Section 1 saw that their interests were not involved, so they would not raise any objection. Even if Han Yong not only promoted Zhao Wenxuan one level, but also added two or three levels, they would not make a sound. After all, the paths of civil servants and military officers are completely different.

Zhao Wenxuan, who stood up, was very happy. He took two steps out, held his fists and said righteously, "Thank you for your love and cultivation. I will do my best to serve the court.

Han Yong was free to say some motivational words on the table, and then dispersed. I feel a little unhappy that my goal has not been achieved, but for the long-term stability of Guangxi, I am determined to clear the obstacles on the road ahead for Lin Zi. After decades as an official, he knows the helplessness and essence of being an official, and knows how to play with the art of balance and the exchange of interests, otherwise he will not be able to sit in this chair.

On the way, the two brothers did not have any communication. After all, this is not their territory. They should be particularly careful and cautious when talking and doing things. If they spread what they shouldn't say into the ears of people who shouldn't hear, it will cause a lot of trouble. Back to the place where he stayed, Lin Zimo leaned on the chair, still drowsy in his head, as if he had just woken up.

"It seems that Hanbetang appreciates you very much." Zhao Wenxuan sat aside and asked for truth.

Lin Zimo patted his forehead three times and said calmly, "It's really hard to say about this. To be from the bottom of my heart, it's not my concern whether to be a magistrate of Xunzhou or not, as long as I don't serve as your county magistrate. Going to Gui County is equivalent to going to die. For this position as a magistrate, I was lucky to get it and lost my life. If you don't force it, it's better to let nature take its course.

Zhao Wenxuan, who knew the specific situation, said seriously, "Although my brother has not been in charge of Pingnan County for a long time, he has spent a lot of effort. As for your county, if the court does not allocate a large amount of money and food and send a large number of officers and soldiers, I'm afraid it will be difficult to restore the appearance of the past.

"Here, I still want to congratulate my brother on going a hundred feet further. Your efforts in this period of time have finally paid off as they should be. I'm really happy and proud of you." Lin Zimo was sincerely happy for his brother. He patted the table and said boldly, "Tonight, we must have a good drink."

"Drinking, that's for sure. We two brothers have to have a drink. Zhao Wenxuan moved his body and said, "Since Han Beitang is so important to his brother, you should go to his place."

Lin Zimo thought that he was like a county party secretary going to meet with the provincial party secretary. How could he meet him? He doesn't have to go, and he can already guess the gate of Han Yong's house, and many people are waiting to see him every day. They are nothing more than seeking officials, profits, clinging to relationships and so on. If he really wants to promote himself, don't cause trouble, so as not to be said to be a party. The speed of my promotion is really too fast, and it is completely normal to be criticized.

"I understand your intention. However, let's go for a drink. Lin Zimo, with a smile, grabbed his left wrist and said lightly, "We, who have been idle for a few days, should enjoy this rare time. After we went back, we were not free again. Go, go, go, go downstairs for a drink.

The two people walking side by side soon came downstairs and sat in a seat near the window. After ordering wine and dishes, they ate and drank a lot. Before they drank half a jar of wine, they unconsciously saw two tables not far away, overturned the table and fought against each other. The two groups fought so lively, and the reason was to compete for a beautiful girl who was singing.

Many people who were afraid of affecting the pond fish ran out one after another. Lin Zimo and Zhao Wenxuan, who were indifferent, were not in the mood to see this kind of "juggling", so they continued to touch the bowl to drink and eat meat. The singing girl who saw this scene for the first time instinctively hid in the corner that she thought was safe. Her frightened pale face kept trembling all over.

Suddenly shouted, "No, it's killing people."

Zhao Wenxuan and Lin Zimo's attention really focused on the direction of the fight between the two sides. There was no so-called murder at all. The two brothers just saw a young man pull out a dagger and hit the other young man's thigh. They felt very disappointing. They didn't think this kind of fight was fun and good-looking, so they wanted to change to another place to continue drinking.

This is not Lin Zimo's Pingnan County, so it is not under his administrative jurisdiction. Knowing not to be in his position and not seeking his own government, he did not want to attract the displeasure of local officials, so he did not intend to intervene. If it were really his acre of land here, the troublewor would have been knocked to the ground by himself and Zhao Wenxuan.

"Shopkeeper, check out." Lin Zimo shouted at the innkeeper who was hiding in the counter watching the bustle.

His shout was not tight, which made the people fighting between the two sides suddenly stop and their eyes focused on him. Lin Zimo, whose hands are covered with blood, can be afraid of them. I didn't take them as a matter at all, so I shouted 'checkout' again. The shopkeeper was about to come out when he saw a man walking towards them and withdrew his left foot, which had just taken a step.

A big man with a beard came over and said politely, "Excuse me, are you the sons of that family in Nanning Prefecture?"

Lin Zimo smiled and said, "We are not the princes of that family. It's just a passer-by who came here from a small place.

The big man's face changed and he cursed, "Damn, I thought you were a prince with * and a father, but I didn't expect you to be two rabbits with big tails. Didn't you see the old men fighting? Hurry up and get out of here."

Lin Zimo, who was not angry, still kept his smiling face and said, "We'll leave right away. You can continue."

Zhao Wenxuan, who had begun to be unhappy, stood up slowly, looked at the man contemptuously, and said coldly, "It's really funny that you two groups of little fish and shrimp dare to show off like this in front of our brothers. If you don't want to lie on the ground, leave quickly. Today, I am in a good mood and don't want to do anything with you.

When the big man saw him like a scholar with no power to bind a chicken, he laughed and said, "If I hadn't been for you two scholars, I would have done it long ago. You don't go to inquire about Grandpa's name in this area. Ha ha... If you eat food, get out of here, or I will only let you know the strength of Grandpa's fists.
