Chapter 199 Settling Liu Yuanqi (1)
An official of the Han Dynasty who had two thousand stones could be a man... But Liu Tao was very confused. This man usually talked about descendants, and he had never heard of him as a father...
"Don't look very strange." Liu Yuanqi seemed to feel Liu Tao's emotions and was somewhat dissatisfied. "For my father, I just don't have the opportunity to show what I have learned, not without talent!"
"Yes, you're so right!" Liu Tao didn't dare to talk back, so he could only agree.
"Actually, it's nothing..." Liu Yuanqi was a little embarrassed when he said that. After a while, he finally confessed obediently, "Sometimes ago, His Majesty sent someone to inquire about you. In the past few days, another little yellow sect came to announce the order..."
So why is this time? Liu Tao is a little confused. If he wants to be granted the title, he must be granted the title of General of the Yulin Central Army. He also granted Liu Yuanqi. He has only sent someone over in the past few days, so he can't figure it out.
"But if my father comes here, the land in Zhuo County..." Liu Tao tried to ask.
"I became an official, and the old guys from the clan said that they would help me take care of me. In the past, I had to help take care of the clan fields, but now it is rare to be relaxed. Besides, isn't there a farm in Luoyang? Someone must take care of me!" Liu Yuanqi said casually.
Obviously, he was speechless about the older generation of relatives in the clan. It was possible that he didn't even plan to come here, but was nagged too much, so he just came here and was happy.
"You don't know..." Liu Yuanqi said angrily, "I know that you have become the General of the Yulin Central Army. There is a Yulin Lang under him, and he is an official position with a salary of 300 stones. Not one or two of them are planning to go my way and get you stuck. I'm so annoyed."
As expected, I was so annoyed that I simply came to Luoyang to be the Zhongshu...
Zhongling was a Lang official and a subordinate of the Shangshu. He had just arrived at the office and was called Zhongling. He was called Shangshu Lang after one year's term, and was called Shishu Lang after three years.
In Liu Tao's opinion, this system of Langguan was somewhat similar to the later Hanlin Academy system. After three years of being a minister, he was transferred according to his actual performance. Only those who are capable can be demoted without outstanding results. Unless they are seriously negligent, there are few cases of direct dismissal.
After all, most of them are descendants of the two thousand stone officials, so they still have to take care of them. This bureaucratic approach is actually similar no matter what era it is in.
But this is a bit embarrassing. His father served as the Minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, with a rank of 400 stones. He was the General of the Central Army of the Yulin, with a rank of 200 stones. His son became an official than me, and he didn't know if Liu Yuanqi was under great pressure.
Just what he was nagging just now was a bit stressful, but compared to this pressure, it was obvious that the clan relatives put him more pressure.
"Then, have you found the place where you live?" Liu Tao asked.
"Will you just live in the village?" Liu Yuanqi was stunned. Isn't there a place to go?
"Then the Zhuangzi is outside Luoyang. It will probably take half an hour to come to Luoyang by carriage. Not to mention that he has to come to the palace to serve. Calculate that if the hour of Mao comes, he will be out around the second minute of Yin." Liu Tao reminded.
"That's true, it feels so troublesome...what do you think?" Liu Yuanqi didn't expect that it was like this. He was over forty years, and it was a bit reluctant to get up at the second half of the Yin Dynasty.
"What else can you do? Rent a house around Luoyang..." When Liu Tao said this, he thought of the Cai Mansion. After all, there seemed to be an empty room there.
I just thought about it again and thought that it wouldn't work. What does it mean to let my father live in? He was not embarrassed, and he and his two daughters were both embarrassed to death!
"Did you rent a house outside...and there is anything inconvenient to tell me?" Liu Yuanqi is worthy of being his father. Liu Tao just paused for a moment. He had just reached the critical point of the matter.
"It's not my rented house, it's just someone I know. After renting the house, I happened to know the owner." Liu Tao replied.
"Female?" Liu Yuanqi thought for a while, then asked.
"Don't know me so well, okay?" Liu Tao really wanted to kneel down. What about the privacy he had agreed to? My father would not bring such a person, let alone after time travel, his spirituality was strictly speaking not your son.
"What else can you make this boy who is not afraid of this world and is so embarrassed that he is so embarrassed?" Liu Yuanqi replied casually, "Tell me! After becoming this Yulin Central Army General, he will start to harm the girl of which family?"
"Who can I harm..." Liu Tao muttered innocently, "I'm honest, can I confess, can I confess?"
It is absolutely necessary to tell the situation of Zhen Jiang and Cai Yan. Liu Yuanqi just listened silently and did not express his opinion. It was not until Liu Tao finished speaking that he looked at him with a strange expression.
"Can you always stop looking at me like this? I feel so furious..." Liu Tao murmured in a low voice.
"I am your father, I see you are wrong?" Liu Yuanqi said angrily, "But you are awesome. You have provoked two of them in more than half a year."
"What do I mean to provoke two people? Not to mention that Zhen Jiang is the result of a marriage, Cai Yan is just in love freely. I don't have the chance to really provoke them!" Liu Tao retorted.
"I just didn't expect that so by chance, your engagement partner actually moved into the home of the woman you provoked." Liu Yuanqi teased, paused, and continued, "But I'm very happy that you can get it. I'm twenty-fourth and haven't gotten married..."
Speaking of which, this person was still planning to marry a wife for himself a few years... Liu Tao remembered it.
Fortunately, it didn't work in the end, otherwise I would have only been here for time travel last year. Maybe my son would be able to make a fuss if he had been married for several years. So what did he become if he had been here for time travel?
"Zhongshan Zhen family... I have heard of this. When I came to Zhongshan, many people mentioned that it seemed that there were many industries, but there seemed to be no one in the clan to serve as an official, and I was afraid that it would be unfavorable to your career." Liu Yuanqi was a little worried.
What Liu Tao was even more curious about was what Liu Yuanqi did all the way over, and the situation of the Zhen family in Zhongshan was so clear. Perhaps, it was because he had not left Zhuo County for too long, so he was very curious about everything, right?
"Zhongshan Zhen's family has many industries. Without their help, I will become the Central Army General of the Wulin." Liu Tao quickly explained.
"Cai, Chenliu... I haven't heard of it. Is Cai Yan very famous? The key is still a widow. Your current identity is not easy to choose a widow as your wife!" Liu Yuanqi simply commented on Cai Yan when he heard this.
"The Cai family in Chenliu is also a prominent family. The key is that many of the clan members have served in office. Cai Yan's uncle is Wei Wei and his father is also a counselor. Although he has no official position now, His Majesty seems to be interested in using it... let alone Cai Yan is still a talented woman." Liu Tao explained.
"So that's it, that's OK!" Liu Yuanqi's attitude changed immediately. This family is good and will be helpful to his son's career. Especially the talented women are better. They will take care of their husbands and children, and their grandchildren should have good talents in the future.
Liu Tao was speechless. Can this father change his face so quickly? Yes, the values of this era were different. Besides, Liu Yuanqi didn’t know his real plan...
