Qualification: Advisor

Jian Yong was born as a commoner. If you really want to say it, his background is not as good as that of Liu Bei. Liu Bei at least has Lu Zhi as a teacher to brag about, while Jian Yong is a self-taught type.

Perhaps it is precisely because of the lack of guidance and training that Jian Yong was not outstanding in strategy and governance. Throughout his history, he was good at communication and communication.

Jian Yong's attributes are not outstanding. Although from the perspective of karma, he should be a kind of innate saint. However, his physical strength is very limited compared to ordinary people. And he does not have the attribute of rebellious fate. In Liu Cang's view, this may also be the case.

It means that his life is trouble-free.

Jian Yong was a young man with ambitions, and for common people, crossing social classes may be the biggest ambition.

Don't think about how difficult it was for people in the Han Dynasty to cross social classes, and don't just think that everyone dreams of becoming a powerful minister.

Nowadays, the world is not in chaos and cannot afford war. The Han Dynasty has spent hundreds of years peacefully. Some people may never leave a county in their entire lives.

To the common people, holding a position such as postal supervisor, book clerk, or cao clerk, and being talked about by others within the county is considered to have transcended social classes.

From then on, whether he took the path of becoming famous through his talents and learning (similar to the situation of great Confucian scholars like Cai Yong), or he took the path of establishing a family and climbing up the ranks of a wealthy family.

None of these can be achieved in a short time, and the accumulation of one or two generations is basically inevitable.

The social system in the Han Dynasty was very complete, but in the peaceful years, it was extremely difficult to become a "nouveau riche".

Emperors like Liu Hong who were promoted from among the people were a special case, and even relatives like He Jin seemed to gain power in one fell swoop, but their ancestors had been running the business for who knows how many generations.

The social system is complete and rigorous, but the Eastern Han Dynasty also left people at all levels with climbing channels. These channels are time-consuming and tiring, but as long as they study hard, work hard, and conduct business with ethics, even those from poor families have the opportunity to make the leap.

But once Liu Hong came to power, everything came to an end.

Emperors usually sell high-ranking officials and titles when they sell their official positions. This thing itself has little impact on the lower class.

But who makes Liu Hong's business acumen outstanding? He has a wide range of offline channels, with the help of eunuchs, and can pass reports to all levels, waiting for approval.

The aristocratic family strongly resisted this, but the emperor didn't care about the quarrels below. There were many important officials in the aristocratic family who took advantage of the situation, and the rich and powerful families were even more moved by the news. Now, not to mention the common people at the bottom, even the poor families were jumping up and down.

Selling an official position and getting a title sounds frivolous, and maybe everyone doesn't have a clear idea.

How should I put it, Liu Hong is also a real person, and he set a relatively clear and reasonable price for the official position.

The price of an official position is fifty times the annual salary of the official position, and the price of a local official position is double that of a central official position, that is, a hundred times.

In other words, a county captain in a large county with more than 10,000 households has an "annual salary" of about 400 dan, and one dan of corn is barely 200 dan, which is almost equivalent to 80,000 dan.

In other words, a large county captain can be bought for eight million dollars.

What is the equivalent of eight million yuan? Today, the price of an adult pig is less than 2,000 yuan. Calculated at two thousand yuan, it is equivalent to about 4,000 pigs. In future generations, that is to say, the price of a bureau chief is just this.

Well, Liu Cang is used to using pig metaphors. Four or five pigs are exchanged for a cow, forty or fifty pigs are exchanged for a war horse, hundreds of pigs are exchanged for a good horse. It’s not easy to price a famous horse, so don’t

Come to think of it, let’s all figure this out for ourselves.

As for the official positions in the imperial court, which have the same annual salary of 400 shi, such as those in Sangong Mansion, General Mansion, Taichang Mansion and other places, the price is half cheaper than that of local officials.

Two thousand pigs can get close to the Third Duke and the General, which can also be understood as two thousand pigs can serve as the Prime Minister's secretary.

With such a price, whether it is high or low, the market is very accurately grasped, but the result is that the poor families and common people are in trouble.

Damn it, you need money to get the job, and you need money to get promoted, are you trying to keep things going?

The most annoying thing is that if there is competition for the job, you will actually hold an auction!

No, children from poor families do not want to be in official positions, and those from common people either live in peace or give up their jobs.

The rich and powerful families are trying their best to put their own children in various positions, and the people of the aristocratic families are trying their best to condemn those who buy official positions. Buying official positions may only ruin their reputation.

As a result, Jian Yong's model was a tragedy.

"Haha, I heard that Xuande said that you want to raise livestock in the mountains, but have you thought about what to raise? If it doesn't work out, why don't you go to Haoxuan for your brother and become a pig herder?" Seeing that the atmosphere was a little heavy because of his own self-deprecation,

Jian Yong said to Liu Cang.

"If you can't do it, just take the blame for yourself." Liu Cang shook his head.

"Take the blame? Haha, interesting. Why is it that Jian is not good enough, but Haoxuan looks down on him as his brother?" Jian Yong thought for a moment, then understood Liu Cang's description, and chuckled and questioned.

"You are just talking, I am working." Liu Cang took a sip of wine and said to Jian Yong.

"Haoxuan, don't be rude." Seeing Jian Yong stunned by what Liu Cang said, Liu Bei scolded him in a low voice.

"How can you be rude?" Liu Cang glanced at Liu Bei and looked at Jian Yong.

"What I mean is that my brother's advantage is not hard work, just like Aweng said that I can't learn the Book of Changes." Liu Cang explained, and Jian Yong chuckled.

Jian Yong was good at eloquence and communication. In Liu Cang's memory, Jian Yong's life was basically spent on persuading people to surrender. The conversations between the two were basically joking, and only Liu Bei was more serious.

"Speaking of it, Haoxuan is very lucky. I heard that Cai's family was staying in Zhuojun, but I didn't expect that it was Haoxuan's family." Speaking of Cai Yong, Jian Yong's face flashed with envy.

"Brother, are you interested?" Liu Cang said softly. Although what he said was unclear, everyone here knew that Liu Cang was referring to whether Jian Yong was interested in contacting Cai Yong or worshiping him as his disciple.

"I don't dare. I have been confused for many years. I am really afraid of insulting Master Cai's name." Jian Yong shook his head, while Liu Bei and Zhang Fei didn't say much.

Jian Yong is too old and does not have any background in his family. To become a disciple at this age, the conventional wisdom is to wait for the teacher and pave the way for the same disciple. The involvement is more complicated, which is also the reason why few people do not talk about Cai Yong in depth.

"Aweng's situation is indeed special. Brother, please live peacefully. If there is an opportunity in the future, I will definitely mention it to Aweng." Liu Cang picked up the wine bowl and said to Jian Yong.

"Then Lao Haoxuan is interested." Jian Yong was serious, but at this time he stopped smiling, held the bowl and gestured to Liu Cang, and said solemnly.

Regarding Jian Yong's apprenticeship with Cai Yong, Liu Cang would not take over everything. This is not a simple matter of reputation.

After all, neither Jian Yong nor Liu Cang had any resources of their own. To become apprentices to Cai Yong would require Cai Yong to allocate their own resources for them.

Master, Master, in this day and age, students respect their teachers, and teachers also need to work hard for their students.

Nowadays, Cai Yong's charges against his wife have not been eliminated. Even if he is not guilty, he will probably have to consider arranging Liu Cang's 'son-in-law' properly before it is his turn to talk about other things.

There is no need to say more about this situation, and there are no people pretending to be confused here.

Faced with the opportunity that may become his own opportunity, even if it is difficult to fight for it now, Jian Yong will not ignore it with a smile. Instead, he will solemnly express his expectations to Liu Cang.

Becoming a disciple is a big deal these days and must be treated with caution. Changing one's family is a bad name in this era. Of course, becoming a disciple is not one of them.

Just like Liu Bei became a disciple of Lu Zhi, even if he was not welcomed by Lu Zhi, if he was not recognized by Lu Zhi as a disciple, he would not be able to become a disciple of anyone else.
