The Emperor System of Ten Thousand Worlds and Heavens

Chapter 57
The two of them were not very old, they looked to be in their twenties, and they looked like Wen Sheng.

Ye Xiaoyao got up and walked to the table of the two of them, made a bow, and said with a smile: "You two gentlemen, next to you is Ye Xiaoyao, whose name is Xiaoyao, may I sit down?"

"Brother Xiaoyao, please sit down. I'm next to Yan Xiang, styled Wenze. This is Du Xi, styled Zixu."

After the young man named Yan Xiang greeted Ye Xiaoyao to sit down, he first introduced himself, then introduced Du Xi, and finally asked with some doubts:
"I don't know what's the matter with Brother Xiaoyao?"

Ye Xiaoyao chuckled, and said bluntly: "Just now I heard what you two said about buying an official list, I was a little curious, so I wanted to come and ask you two, can you explain to Xiaoyao?"

After Du Xi heard his words, he couldn't help laughing: "Brother Xiaoyao is not from Luoyang!"

"Exactly, I'm from Xuzhou, and this is my first time in Luoyang." Ye Xiaoyao admitted without concealment.

"Then it's no wonder that everyone in Luoyang city knows about the list of buying officials and emperors in March!" Du Xi poured Ye Xiaoyao a cup of tea and said with a smile.

Ye Xiaoyao nodded knowingly, and then asked, "I don't know what are the conditions for buying an official?"

"The conditions for buying an official are not simple! The price of a local official is twice as high as that of a court official, and the price of a county official is different. Officials must also pay according to the price for promotion. Generally speaking, the price of an official position is calculated based on the official's annual salary. For example, the price of an official position with an annual salary of 2000 dan is 400 million yuan, and the price of an official position with an annual salary of [-] dan is [-] million yuan, which means that the price of an official position is [-] times the official's annual income. In addition to fixed prices, there are also The worth and property of the person seeking an official position may increase or decrease at any time, and when an official is transferred, promoted, or a new official takes office, he must pay one-third or one-fourth of the price of the official position!”

Yan Xiang briefly introduced the conditions for buying an official, and then shook his head and said: "It's ridiculous that they also gave a statement that half or one third of the candidates should be second in character, which is really slippery. Funny!"

Hearing this, Ye Xiaoyao frowned and thought for a while, then said: "Then it would cost about 2000 million yuan to buy a prefect, or about 340 taels of gold!" He still knew that the prefect's salary was two thousand shi.

Du Xi nodded and said, "You're right, but it's not easy to buy an official position like the prefect. There are many people who want to buy it, not to mention the relationship. You must be strong, otherwise you won't be able to buy it at all!"

"Thank you two gentlemen for clarifying the confusion, Xiaoyao understands."

When Ye Xiaoyao heard Du Xi's words, he smiled and said nothing.What prefect can't buy, is he short of money?One thousand is not enough for my two thousand, and two thousand is not enough for my five thousand. He has nothing but gold, and he doesn't believe that he can't buy a county prefect.

"Old Dian, bring a bottle of Moutai!"

Ye Xiaoyao turned his head and shouted at Dian Wei, and immediately said to Yan Xiang and Du Xi: "To express my gratitude, I will give you a bottle of wine, and I hope you will not be disgusted."

Yan Xiang's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but ask: "But that kind of wine that the strong man drank just now?" The two of them had already smelled the strong aroma of wine just now, but they were strangers after all, so it was not easy to come forward. Begging.

Ye Xiaoyao took the Moutai that Dianwei brought over, opened it for the two of them and placed it in front of them, nodded and smiled, "This wine is called Moutai, you two should taste it."

Du Xi nodded to Dian Wei with a smile, and invited: "This strong man, please sit down too."

"Lao Dian, go and bring over our dishes. Since Zixu invited us, let's eat together." Ye Xiaoyao smiled and instructed Dian Wei.

"Okay my lord, I'll go now..." Dian Wei grinned and went to serve the dishes.

Yan Xiang and Du Xi were very particular people. They did not drink first, but waited for Dian Wei to bring the dishes before Yan Xiang picked up the wine bottle and poured a glass for everyone.

Ye Xiaoyao picked up his wine glass, and thanked the two of them: "Brother Wen Ze, Brother Zi Xu, thank you for your clarification, I offer you a toast." After finishing speaking, he took the lead in drinking the Moutai in the glass, Nothing left.

Yan Xiang waved his hands and said with a smile: "It's just a small matter. The whole of Luoyang knows about this matter of buying an official. We just happened to help Brother Xiaoyao at the right time." After saying that, he and Du Xicai picked up their wine glasses and drank. drink up.

"Good wine! Good wine! It is mellow and fragrant, and the taste is strong and lingering on the tip of the tongue, warming but not burning the throat. This wine is really the best among wines, and it can be called fairy wine!"

"Indeed, this wine is strong but not violent, strong but gentle, and the aroma of the wine lingers for a long time. It is not an exaggeration to call it Xianniang!"

After Yan Xiang and Du Xi drank the wine in their glasses, they thought about it for a long time and couldn't help but sigh with emotion, praising it as a fairy brew.

Yan Xiang slowly put down the wine glass in his hand, pushed the bottle back, and said to Ye Xiaoyao, "Brother Xiaoyao, this wine is really a fairy brew, you gave it to us, we deserve it!"

Ye Xiaoyao picked up the wine bottle and poured another glass for the two of them. He said with a smile, "Although this wine is beautiful, it's just wine. It's not as amazing as you say! You guys have helped me a lot. It's just a bottle of wine." , since you don’t want to take it, we’ll drink it.”

The two couldn't shirk it, so they could only comply with his request, picked up the wine glass, and had another drink.

"It's a blessing to be able to taste this delicious wine just by reminding Brother Xiaoyao!" Du Xizaozui said with emotion.

Ye Xiaoyao poured the wine again, "Then you also saved me a lot of effort. To be honest, I came to Luoyang this time to buy an official."

Ye Xiaoyao told the truth that he only knew that Luoyang could buy an official, but he didn't know the specific process and conditions. If Yan Xiang and Du Xi didn't explain the confusion, he probably would have to delay for a day or two before he could do it. Knowing this, they can be regarded as saving him a lot of time, which deserves his thanks.

"Brother Xiaoyao, do you want to buy an official?"

This time, the two of them didn't pick up the wine glass again, but looked at him together, with suspicious expressions on their faces.

Those who buy officials are not good people, this has almost been proven.After they spend money to buy officials to take office, they often consider "recovering the cost" and strive to get back the money spent on buying officials as soon as possible. Therefore, they don't care about the life and death of the people at all. A legal bandit, and a bandit who even robs women.

Selling officials is also a major bane of the demise of the big man!
Of course Ye Xiaoyao knew what the two of them were thinking, as long as they had a bit of conscience and knowledge, they would not like those who buy officials to become officials, after all, those people are too wicked!But is he that kind of man?

"Don't get me wrong, you two, I chose to buy an official because I saw the suffering of the people in my hometown!" Of course, this is just his excuse, he can't say that I want to garrison troops, I want to conquer the world!
"how do I say this?"
