Guanxing's words are not unreasonable.
Although Duan Wenjun had no intention of joining the court as an official, he just wanted to be a leisurely young boss.
However, if he stayed in a small place like Wangjiang, even a county magistrate like Guanxing could find ways to cause trouble for him.
Not to mention the big shots in Shangliang, Kyoto.
They can use Kyoto's resources to influence Jingzhou, Lingxiao County, and Wangjiang County.
In this way, any official who wants to find fault with himself will feel uncomfortable.
Fortunately, Guan Xing seemed to really want to make friends with him now, so he didn't have any evil thoughts towards him for the time being.
Fortunately, he had the imperial edict to settle Moon Island, so many people had to be cautious.
However, what Guan Xing said is also correct.
Even if you don't want to be an official, taking the Qiuwei Examination to gain a reputation has other uses.
Of course, you must not only participate, but also win and become the leader.
Guanxing was also the leader of Qiu Wei three years ago.
Moreover, Guanxing had heard the poems written by Duan Wenjun.
He felt that if those rumors were true, Duan Wenjun's talent might be even higher than his own.
If he participates in Qiu Wei, he is very likely to win the first place.
But after all, Qiu Wei was not just testing poetry. He didn't know how well Duan Wenjun had learned the Thirteen Classics of Chinese Studies, and how well he had learned policy theory.
But, according to the things he had done before, it shouldn't be too bad.
If you win the title, you can move around and find a way to find a job.
The so-called sinecure is actually just in name only, and you don't have to care about anything at all.
Of course, since you don't have to worry about anything, there is no salary.
Without salary, this is still good.
What is even more depressing is that he has to pay three thousand taels of official salary every year.
But with an official status, he is completely different from ordinary people.
What this kind of idleness brings is profit.
For example, if Duan Wenjun gets a sinecure, there will be no tax on the land in this family fort.
For example, if Duan Wenjun gets a sinecure, he can mine the iron ore in Qifengya and send it to the Forging Bureau to sell it at a better price...
Moreover, this idle position is also divided into two types: capital officials and local officials.
If you are really lucky enough to be assigned a position as a Beijing official, you will be more likely to be favored by the palace.
If someone really wants to move, they have to think carefully.
However, since the founding of Dashun, there is only one person in the world who has received such a sinecure.
This was decades ago.
This person is called Du Maoxun, and he is a senior official personally appointed by the late emperor. He is a serious official in the capital.
When Duan Wenjun heard this, he was slightly stunned.
Du Maoxun, I seem to have heard this name somewhere.
However, his thoughts were immediately drawn back to Guan Xing.
In addition to losing three thousand taels of silver a year, there are also some disadvantages to taking this idle position.
If you receive this kind of idle position, you will not be able to be appointed to other official positions.
In other words, once you receive it, it is a lifelong matter.
Moreover, the person who can be requested to take this idle position must win the first place in the autumn or spring period and become the leader.
This undoubtedly excludes most people.
In other words, the person who can receive the idle position must be the number one scholar.
However, if a person is talented and can win the No. 1 Scholar, he naturally has ambitions in his heart. How can he be willing to accept a sinecure?
Even if there were no official vacancies at that time, he would be willing to wait.
After all, only by becoming an official can you have a prosperous future.
However, to Duan Wenjun, this idle position seemed to be the most suitable for him.
During this meal, Duan Wenjun and Guan Xing chatted happily.
The wine Duan Wenjun brought over has run out, and the food on the table has been swept away.
Guan Xing stared at Duan Wenjun, and suddenly spoke again, "Wenjun, you are so subtle with your actions!"
"Master Guan, how do you say this?" Duan Wenjun was stunned when he suddenly said this.
"I know about Li Youfa and Baldy Li's personal wealth." A faint smile appeared on Guan Xing's face. "Although it was done by people in the world, they were entrusted by you after all, weren't they?"
Duan Wenjun's expression changed slightly.
On that day, he asked Mo Shoucheng to find some friends from the world to help.
They found Li Youfa's treasures and secretly sent them all to the backyard of the county government, except for those given to those people.
Then, he sent someone to send an anonymous letter to Guanxing.
He thought it would be done flawlessly.
But he didn't expect that Guanxing would find out it was him so quickly.
However, before he could speak, Guanxing continued, "I know brother doesn't want to come forward. After all, this is a family matter of our Guan family. However, I, Guanxing, thank you from the bottom of my heart, brother!"
After speaking, he patted Duan Wenjun on the shoulder, raised his glass, clinked it on Duan Wenjun's glass, and drank it all in one gulp.
"I have found Li Youfa's accounts and hastened to send them to my father." A proud smile appeared on Guanxing's face. "Brother, I can be quite efficient in doing things! From now on, in Wangjiang County, You and I, brothers, will definitely make a difference if we take care of each other."
Duan Wenjun didn't care whether Guan Xing could make a difference in Wangjiang County, but he already understood what he meant.
Obviously, his previous suspicion has been confirmed.
As the youngest son of the Guan family, Guanxing actually has ambitions.
In particular, his two older brothers have bullied him since he was a child, and he will definitely have deep resentment in his heart.
If there is a chance for him to stand up, or even have a chance to surpass his two brothers, he will never give up.
He could see that Li Youfa might be a breakthrough.
Therefore, Guan Xing is still an extremely capable person.
He was able to win over someone as thoughtful as Bo Youcai to help him.
Moreover, Li Youfa's accounts could be found so quickly.
This is definitely not simple.
I'm afraid, he has others working for him in Wangjiang.
Definitely not from the county government, with such a few people.
Thinking of this, Duan Wenjun just smiled lightly, "In this way, Wenjun will be able to rely on Lord Guan more in the future."
Guanxing laughed loudly when he heard this, "Wenjun, I heard that during the Mid-Autumn Festival, you are going to Shangliang with the second son of Prince Rui's house?"
Duan Wenjun couldn't help being shocked when he heard this.
If you say that Lin Nanzhun met Chai Jingyun and knew that he was going to Liangliang, you would consider it a coincidence.
However, Guan Xing actually mentioned this matter at this moment, which had to shock him.
"I just mentioned this matter to the Second Young Master, how come Sir Guan also knows about it?" He pretended to be full of doubts.
"That's all I heard!" Guan Xing said with a faint smile.
There are some things that are enough for everyone to know.
When Duan Wenjun's eyes fell on Guan Xing's face, he suddenly understood.
Guanxing, you are beating yourself up.
He was telling himself that every move he made was under his control.
At this moment, Guan Xing's voice sounded again, "Just in time, I will also go back to Shangliang by then. How about we go together?"
"Of course, very good!" At this time, what can Duan Wenjun say?
After lunch, servants had already come up to remove the dishes, clean up the mess, and serve tea.
A yamen servant hurried in and said, "Sir, the second young master from Prince Rui's Mansion is here!"
