"You have done a great job. The mere post of district general flag is nothing to us, but for those people, it is a timely help."
After Li Fan returned, he reported the matter to Li Xin, and he received support as expected.
As a real powerful person, Li Xin has always been dispensable for this kind of thing.
He doesn't really need others to get closer to him. After serving in the department for many years, he will always develop some close subordinates, and it doesn't hurt to take care of him when the time comes.
But now that I have encountered someone, I won’t be stingy if I extend a favor or do a small favor.
…
In the northwest of the Holy Capital, near Bei Yamen, a family has a mourning hall, which is very sad and desolate.
This is none other than Huang Zongqi’s family from Jiazi Office.
As an old scalper in the unit, he did not have any good relationships during his lifetime. In addition, the way to die was not to fight evil spirits or strangers in the world, and to sacrifice bravely, but to leave behind his legacy in an almost shameful way of depravity. Some of his fellow strangers They are taboo about this kind of thing, so they are not willing to get close to them.
This situation is indeed inconsistent with his status as the seventh-grade general banner.
But if you think about it carefully, it seems natural.
Because within the imperial court, there had always been nobles and nobles, but the military was humble. Out of some special needs, the imperial power deliberately suppressed the identities of military commanders and those who held rare treasures.
Although the world today is full of strange things and strange people are rampant, after all, the inertia of the peaceful era is still there.
They are both seventh-grade officials, but the general banner of a mere demon-suppressing division does not have the majesty of the Miemen County Magistrate.
It's not surprising that it ended up in such a deserted state.
Huang Wei's two sons and his mother burned paper money with blank expressions on their faces. Faced with this situation, they had already expected it.
Before Lao Huang entered the Demon-Suppressing Company, he was a peddler and a pawn. He was an honest man and never understood the art of running a business.
Thanks to him, the family did not enjoy the treatment of the family members of the imperial military attachés.
Huang Wei's eldest son Huang Qi comforted his family while secretly feeling sad.
Days like this are so difficult!
It is said that people in the officialdom take their time to cool off. Lao Huang's side was not a hot spot in the first place. In the past few days, only a few colleagues who were close to his father came to inquire and gave him some incense.
He vaguely knew that something was wrong, but he could only attribute it to his father's honesty and lack of progress.
At this moment, several people walked in from outside the door, but they were servants from Jinyiwei Zhang Baihu's family.
"Mrs. Huang, Mr. Huang, your lease here has expired, and it's time to consider moving out.
It's not that we have to choose this juncture to come to the door to press for help. It's just that the new year is approaching and the boss can't handle it. "
The other party seemed to have already made up his mind to get straight to the point. After coming in, he didn't even exchange greetings and directly mentioned the purpose of his trip.
Hearing this, Huang Qi's expression became even darker.
"Butler Zhang, can't you be more accommodating?"
"Of course I can accommodate you. I still have more than a month left for you. Just use this time to prepare well...
By the way, this is the incense instrument sent by my master, so you can take care of it yourself. "
The owner of Butler Zhang is a villager who is said to be related to Zhang Guojiu. He holds the position of a hundred households in Jinyiwei. This slap in the face is really helpless. ….
Huang Qi had no choice but to thank the other party and kept talking to please him, hoping that he could continue to be lenient.
During this Chinese New Year, everything is expensive and moving is not easy.
But after hearing this, Butler Zhang rolled his eyes and privately pulled Huang Qi aside.
"There is another way to solve it, and that is to give up your father's exotic treasure and give it to our young master!
In this way, it is possible for your family to buy this place as a place to settle down. "
Huang Qi was surprised when he heard this: "How much money does Mr. Zhang plan to pay?"
"A hundred taels, is that enough? For people like you, even if
There is no future in inheriting your father's official position and serving in the Demon Suppression Department. It is better to sell this rare treasure and live in peace. "
Huang Qi felt bitter in his heart when he heard this.
I originally thought it was a solution, but I didn't expect that it was just taking advantage of the situation.
He had also heard a little bit about the prices of various exotic treasures on the market. How could it be worth only such a hundred taels?
Moreover, one hundred taels is far from enough to buy the house we live in here!
"Son, Mr. Zhang is in a hurry. We have to think of a solution quickly. Can you ask Jiang Baihu from the Ding Institute and ask him to help..."
Huang Wei's Yishuang hesitated for a while and said to Huang Qi.
As of now, they don't know many people in the upper class. Only Huang Wei's old comrade Jiang Shi might be able to help.
"Don't worry, mother, I will ask after father's funeral."
Huang Qi comforted his mother. In fact, he didn't have much confidence in his heart.
Different from his dull and taciturn father, he has been exposed to the influence of officialdom since he was a child, and he knows that the only way to manage the security affairs in the Zhenmo Division is to write palm prints and write letters. Regardless of whether they are commanders, colleagues, or ministers, those who have their talents should be selected and filled.
They are divided into fields, army inspections, camp drills, patrols, water transportation, military preparations, outposts, guards, garrison, military equipment and other miscellaneous tasks. They are said to be in charge when they see them;
Only officials of that level can inherit. I live in hundreds of households, and my son can almost reach that level.
But below this, the chance of inheritance is much smaller.
His father worked hard for seven or eight years and only managed to win a general banner. He did not even reach the 100-household level.
In the eyes of others, this is only possible because the ancestors burned high incense to have such luck.
How many people live their entire lives as civilians without official status.
At this moment, there was a loud noise outside the door, but it was people from the A-Zi Institute and the D-Zi Institute who came hand in hand, occupying the entire courtyard in a bustling manner, and it was like a bustling crowd.
There were even a few people from Qianhu who were rarely seen in normal times.
"My dear nephew, good news. You really met a noble person this time, and all the previous matters have been resolved."
Huang Wei's former Shangguan, with a complex expression of joy and sorrow on his face, patted Huang Qi's shoulder hard, and said with a confused look on his face: "Not only can you hold the post of general flag, By joining the army, you can inherit your father's title, salary, and all the benefits you enjoyed in the past!
We have also applied to the department for that rare treasure, and it will be officially distributed before the end of the year. Before that, you should take care of the things here, and then come to our office to familiarize yourself with the position! "
A crowd of people enthusiastically presented the incense ceremony. Even the general banner, Baihu, and Baihu, who had not interacted with each other much on weekdays and were completely unfamiliar, were all enthusiastic, comforting and encouraging him, the son of a colleague.
96.
Don’t ask the common people, ask ghosts and gods
