16 Selling the official position
"I always think the one you said is unreliable."
"I'm also very hesitant. The most important thing is that my literary talent is still young. If I'm a few years older, I'll feel at ease."
"Yes, but I still think, how could the court do this business?"
"I have said it twice, it's not the court, but the money is being given to Yan Ge's hometown."
"Which 200 taels of silver is still missing in the hometown of the Pavilion?"
Wei Guangde practiced his calligraphy all night and wrote several sheets of paper in a row. He felt that his calligraphy had improved again.
After coming out of the house, standing in the yard to move, I vaguely heard what my parents said in the house. I was curious and quietly came to the window to eavesdrop.
It was already late at night and the yard was very quiet.
Although Wei Guangde didn't hear the previous words when he heard his parents nagging in the room for a long time, he probably knew what was going on based on these few words he heard.
Two hundred taels are given to Yan Ge’s hometown, and his father should be able to be promoted. This is selling official positions and titles.
As for what official can you buy with such a little money and what official your father wants to buy, the conversation is too short, Wei Guangde hasn't figured it out yet.
Moreover, since what I heard before, it seems that my father wants to be promoted, but he doesn’t want to leave the Bengshan Baihu Institute, and he also wants to let his elder brother attack Baihu’s official position.
But my elder brother is only sixteen, so it seems a bit difficult to take over the position.
Afterwards, the old couple talked for a long time, but Dad Wei was still a little shaken.
During the renovation in Zhenjiang this time, someone found Mr. Wei and asked if he wanted to upgrade.
Mr. Wei has been working in the Bengshan Hundred House for twenty years, so he naturally wants to be promoted if he has the opportunity.
If you want to find a thousand-dollar official position, 200 taels of silver is not too much, but there are restrictions, that is, there are no one in the position, that is, if you give 200 taels of silver, you can't tell where you get a thousand-dollar household.
Mr. Wei wanted to be promoted, but he couldn't bear to be the Feng Shui treasure land of the Bengshan Baihu Institute.
I usually do nothing and can get more than 100 taels of silver a year, so I want to be promoted and my eldest son is in the current position.
As for promotion within Jiujiangwei, Dad Wei has long since lost hope.
The official position in Jiujiang Guard is actually a fat person. Except for the official positions of the following hundreds of households, those above who are free will be occupied by airborne people, and it is impossible to be promoted internally.
The conversation in the room ended quickly, and it seemed that there was no result.
Wei Guangde probably didn't give up, but he was a little worried and chose to stop for the time being.
After eavesdropping for a long time, Wei Guangde's legs became numb, and he quietly left there and returned to the yard, kicking his legs casually, and swinging his fists to move.
After all, he was a military family and did not have any high-level martial arts skills in his family, but he still had the ability to kill enemies in the army, but he was just straightforward and open and close fighting.
To be honest, Wei Guangde felt that this kind of boxing technique would not work, which means it would be useful in fighting in battle formations.
Although Wei Guangde does not plan to practice this, it is still good to use it to exercise his muscles and bones when he is tired.
After exercising his skills, Wei Guangde saw that it was getting late and went back to the house to rest. When he entered the door, he saw a bird gun hanging on the wall. There was a medicine pot on the wooden table beside the wall below.
After the gun test a few days ago, although in Wei Guangde's opinion, the bird gun still had many flaws and was incomparable to the weapons of later generations, when I heard the big brother and Zhang Ji's amazement at this weapon, I thought about the guns in later generations, which were several hundred years apart from the bird gun.
Well, Wei Guangde believes that in this era, bird guns seem to be the most sharp military and national weapon.
The two bird guns he took out were not put back, but were each taken by Wei Wencai and Wei Guangde.
Although the bird gun does not shoot fast without the bow and arrow, its power is really good.
In that test, although Wei Guangde, Wei Wencai and others failed to hit the target, Tang Sanwa did get two shots in a row, directly knocking down two birds. The name of the bird gun is well deserved.
It was also because of this that Wei Wencai became interested and said that he would still have to study it himself.
Children who grew up in the army are actually very enthusiastic about weapons, especially those new weapons.
Although he looks down on firearms, as Mr. Wei said, people in the army still like well-made firearms very much.
Of course, this is also because firearm training is really simple. You can use it proficiently after training for a month and a half.
Moreover, when using firearms, you don’t need to fight face to face with the enemy. There are not many requirements for courage and killing skills. It is really a powerful tool to quickly form an army.
As for the current Ming army officers and soldiers who do not like firearms, they are actually still damaged by those who are messing around in the weapons bureau. It is just roughly made. The key is to cut corners, which is going to be fatal.
Walking over, Wei Guangde did not reach out to take the bird gun off the wall.
For children in their teenage years old, this bird gun is still a bit heavier.
However, the bird gun made by the Jiajing Dynasty is very similar to the rifles seen in later generations, and in the news online, the bird guns collected in some mountainous areas are also very similar.
In later generations, how many boys don’t like guns?
No words all night.
In the early morning, after getting up, Wei Guangde still brushed his teeth and washed his face as usual. Although there was no toothpaste in this era, he used a toothbrush to dip salt in a toothbrush and then rinse his mouth.
Toothbrushes have already existed in this era, and wooden sticks and pig bristles are not expensive.
Of course, there are also things like toothpaste made with medicinal materials, but Wei Guangde definitely can't afford it at home.
After breakfast, I took a few cents from Wei Wu and went out to study in school.
In fact, Wei Guangde himself has money, but his inherited body has this habit.
In the box under Wei Guangde's bed, there were hundreds of copper coins saved by his predecessor.
Wei Guangde's understanding of this is that perhaps his predecessor also understood that the main things in the family may be inherited by the elder brother. Although everyone is a legitimate son, there is still a difference between the elders and the younger, so he saved money so quietly.
Of course, Wei Guangde now has no money to save. He basically spends it if he has it, and he will not even touch the money saved by his predecessor.
When I came to the school, I still sat down and started studying as usual.
The morning time passed quickly, and after lunch, several people were still resting in the corridor.
"Master Sun is too rigid. In fact, you can let the students go to school and lie on the desk to rest."
Wei Guangde complained so much in his heart more than once, but Master Sun would not agree.
School is the place to read.
