Chapter 519

even if he were clean,

making 30,000 to 40,000 taels of snowy silver a year would not be a problem.

And the Salt Transport Commissioner, referred to as Yun Tong,

was another fat job.

This was the chief of the Salt Transport Commission or Salt Law Circuit or the Salt Affairs Branch, responsible for supervising salt fields and assisting the Salt Transport Commissioner or Salt Law Circuit in managing salt affairs.

As everyone knows,

in ancient times, anything involving the word "salt" was a huge fat job.

It was even stronger than being a prefect.

Of course, it also depended on the location.

For example, an ordinary Salt Transport Commission certainly couldn't compare to one of the most prosperous areas Love Love Like Ying Tian Prefecture.

As for capital civil officials,

there were four,

namely, Reader of the Grand Secretariat, Reader of the Hanlin Academy, Lecturer of the Hanlin Academy, and Libationer of the Imperial Academy.

These were basically more literary.

Although they were capital officials,

in terms of the ability to make money,

they were far inferior to going to a local area to be a prefect or Yun Tong.

In the Great Great Great Qian,

except for the top-level capital officials of the first, second, and third ranks,

most local officials below them had more ways to make money.

After all, at the feet of the Son of Heaven,

throwing a brick on the street might hit an official or a noble, compared to having too many restrictions and risks.

If one was not careful, even if there was nothing wrong, one might be impeached by censor officials who were Love Love Like mad dogs.

It was completely different from going to a local area where there was no supervision, being a local emperor, and having great power in one’s hands.

So many officials liked to be officials outside.

They didn't Love Love Like to hold positions in the capital.

At this time, after Qin Ye heard Jia Hui’s words, he had a vague guess.

So he was a bit uneasy and looked at Jia Hui excitedly.

Waiting for Jia Hui’s arrangement.

Jia Hui thought for a moment, then did not act on his own initiative.

Instead, he let Qin Ye make the decision himself: "Father-in-law, do you want to continue to be a capital official in the capital, or go to a local area to be an external official?"

"The three great scholars of the fourth-rank capital officials, and the prefect or Salt Transport Commissioner of the external officials, you choose one, and I will arrange it for you immediately!"

Qin Ye’s face flushed red instantly!

[528] Arranged for the old father-in-law, and another future father-in-law came

It was no wonder Qin Ye was so excited!

Excited to the point that his face was glowing red!

Because Jia Hui’s words were truly intoxicating.

Two words, "immediately!"

One could see the heavy weight and energy.

Without great ability,

one would not dare to say these words.

After all, this was a high-level official position.

More than 99.99% of people in the world

could not climb to this level in their lifetime.

But in Jia Hui’s words,

it was so light and airy.

"Don't be in a hurry to answer."

"Actually, the fourth-rank capital civil officials, Vice Minister of the Court of Transmission, Junior Minister of the Dali Temple, Junior Minister of the Imperial Secretariat, Junior Minister of the Court of Imperial Sacrifices, Junior Minister of the Court of Imperial Stud, Minister of the Court of Imperial Entertainments, and Head of the Six Ministries of the Censorate."

"Or external civil officials, Prefect of Shuntian, Prefect of Fengtian, and Circuit Intendants of various provinces, none of them are impossible."

"But this cannot be immediate, unless you don't pick."

Jia Hui smiled.

With his current political energy and the trust of the Emperor,

promoting Qin Ye to a fourth-rank official was not a problem.

This was different from Chen Gong, Jiang Ji, Cheng Yu, and others.

They had been officials for less than a year.

Even less than half a year.

So suddenly promoting them from nothing to the fourth rank was a fantasy, an impossible thing.

Even the Emperor, or even the Retired Emperor, would find it difficult to do.

That would cause the civil and military officials to oppose it unanimously.

This was seniority.

Officialdom had its own unspoken rules.

Even the Emperor could not change it and had to follow it.

Of course,

unless you were at the level of a founding emperor.

You could decide whatever you said.

The level where an emperor’s anger could kill millions.

Who dared to oppose?

Kill, kill, kill!

Even if it was a sea of corpses, top-level powerful people, any prime minister, chief secretary, or prince could be killed at will!

Skinning and adding straw, no one dared to rebel!

Similar to the true full-level emperor Love Love Like Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang!

And this was what Jia Hui pursued.

Ordinary defensive emperors really didn't have such great authority.

Back to Qin Ye, he had been an official for many years.

His seniority was sufficient.

So as long as someone was willing to promote him,

rising up was not difficult.

Jia Hui just needed to operate it a little.

But if it were Qin Ye himself,

without anyone’s support, that would be it for his life.

Basically, he would retire at the fifth rank.

"I choose a capital official."

After listening to Jia Hui’s words, Qin Ye was first excited.

Then gradually calmed down.

After serious consideration,

he made his choice.

"Why?"

"The vast majority of people become officials for the sake of profit."

"If it were someone else, they would certainly choose to be a prefect or Yun Tong."

"But I don't have much pursuit for money."

"My son and I are living very well, and my daughter also has you, a worthy son-in-law, so there is no need to worry about livelihood."

Qin Ye shook his head and said.

Regarding his words, if it were someone else,

Jia Hui would certainly scold him for being hypocritical.

But a fifth-rank official, who in the original work had to scrape together money from everywhere to barely gather dozens of taels of silver,

he was certain that this Qin Ye was not a corrupt official.

He knew that what he said was all from the heart.

It seemed that this Qin Ye was indeed an upright person.

Belonging to a good official.

This made Jia Hui smile: "Since that’s the case, then let’s go with Vice Minister of the Court of Transmission. It suits you, Father-in-law; it allows you to do practical things and fits your character."

The Vice Minister of the Court of Transmission is a fourth-rank official, responsible for assisting the Court of Transmission in reviewing and proofreading official documents, with subordinates such as counselors.

Besides this, it is also configured in the Hall of the Dengwen Drum for handling grievances.

Based on his understanding, Qin Ye was capable of doing the work.

And compared to other government offices, the Court of Transmission was a department he had not yet touched, and it was quite important.

And for this choice, Qin Ye was extremely satisfied.

Promoted two levels, a full rank.

What else could he be dissatisfied with?

At this moment, he was extremely grateful to Jia Hui.

He was even more excited and happy that his daughter had really married into a good family.

The best, unique kind.

Even more than being a concubine for the Emperor, he felt that being a wife to Jia Hui was stronger.

He said gratefully to Jia Hui: "Son-in-law, such a great gift, I really..."

"Father-in-law, don't say such things, we are a family."

Jia Hui stopped him with a smile.

Then, looking at his excitement, he incidentally told him another piece of good news: "Qin Qin Keqing is pregnant! It’s been about a month and a half."

"Good, good, good, that’s great!"

"This is truly a happier event than anything else!"

After hearing this, Qin Ye, who was already overjoyed, became ecstatic beyond measure.

Trembling with excitement all over.

Jia Hui hurriedly comforted him, telling him to calm down.

Lest he die of joy.

Suddenly,

Jia Hui turned his body, turned his head toward a civil official behind a large pillar, and deliberately put on a stern face: "This official, eavesdropping on other people’s conversations is not a polite thing!"

His perception was very sharp now.

In fact, he had noticed the other party more than two minutes ago.

This civil official was neither tall nor short, neither fat nor thin, and looked a few years younger than Qin Ye, but one could see that he was more handsome, with a pair of deep eyes that were shining and dignified, making people feel that he was an elder worthy of respect, with a scholarly temperament.

At a glance, he was a cultured person.

"Peerless Earl, apologies."

"I am Li Xia Xia Shouzhong, Libationer of the Imperial Academy."

"I did not intend to eavesdrop on your conversation with Lord Qin, I just came to talk to you, and didn't want to hear some of it."

Li Xia Xia Shouzhong, who was discovered, did not dodge or hide.

He walked out openly.

He bowed to Jia Hui and Qin Ye.

"Libationer Li!"

Qin Ye, who was in ecstasy, hurriedly restrained his emotions and returned the salute.

In terms of "status in the world," Li Xia Xia Shouzhong was undoubtedly far superior to Qin Ye.

After all, he was the Minister of Education of the national university, the principal of the highest institution of learning!

Many high-ranking officials were his students.

His connections and status were evident.

Jia Hui bowed to Li Xia Xia Shouzhong.

Looking at this legendary Libationer,

he was quite interested.

According to his understanding, this person attached great importance to the learning of the next generation.

In the Li clan, there was no one who did not recite poetry and read books.

Even for daughters, he would cultivate their ability to read and understand sentences.

And his daughter was none other than the widow Li Wan!

And he also had a gentle and virtuous sister-in-law, Aunt Li, and nieces Li Wen and Li Qi.

The Li family produced one of the Twelve Beauties of the Red Chamber in the main register, and two in the secondary register.

This was stronger than the Wang family, the Shi family, etc.

Second only to the Jia family, and could be on par with the Xue family.

So Jia Hui had always wanted to meet this Libationer Li.

However, for more than a month,

this Li Xia Xia Shouzhong was either at home or at the Imperial Academy.

Two points and one line.

Plus, he didn't go to court on weekdays.

And he didn't Love Love Like to drink at banquets or join in the fun.

So except for Cai Yong, who often met him when entering the Imperial Academy to discuss classics,

this was the first time Jia Hui had met him.

So Jia Hui chatted with him politely.

Hmm.

It was definitely not because he was interested in his super-beautiful daughter and several sisters-in-law and nieces.

But just wanted to learn some knowledge and receive some cultural edification.

Meanwhile,

Qin Qin Qin Keqing was also in a large hall next door, chatting with Empress Liu and the others.

"Oh, is this the Qin beauty who is famous in the capital and made a whole Duke’s Mansion fall?" 10.

[529] The wife of the Marquis of Marquis Marquis Jingyuan makes trouble for Qin Qin Qin Keqing; Song Song Song Jiayin: Only I am worthy of the Peerless Earl

Inside the hall!

A hall that was magnificent, bright as day.

Looking at it,

it was embroidered with brilliance, colorful!

Palace people,
