Chapter 55 The Power of Example
Everyone looked at Ge Tong with some wonder. A drunken flush appeared on Ge Tong's face and shouted excitedly: "I am an official, I'm coming out to pay my respects!"
Ge Tong grabbed a man randomly, pressed the man's shoulder hard, and shouted seriously: "Kneel down!"
Coincidentally, the person he caught was Ge Tong's apprentice, and he was also a Zhao family member named Zhao Wushang. Although Zhao Wushang is a Zhao family member, he belongs to a remote branch and is not close to Zhao Boying. Zhao Wushang is equivalent to being raised by Ge Tong. Zhao Wushang has always followed Ge Tong's advice, let alone let him kneel down and let him die, Zhao Wushang will not be vague.
Hearing this, Zhao Wushang subconsciously knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Ge Tong.
Seeing Zhao Wushang kneeling down, Ge Tong was very proud.
However, when Ge Tong turned around, he was bumping into a man carrying a big hammer and sneering.
Ge Tong said with anger: "Kneel down for me!"
The black-faced man ignored Ge Tong and turned around and left.
Ge Tong was furious and pulled Zhao Wushang up and said, "I am an official, and he doesn't kneel down to me. It's so outrageous."
Zhao Wushang followed Ge Tong's words like coaxing a child: "Is the master an official or a high-ranking official..."
"I am an official, I am an official!" Ge Tong pushed his apprentice away and ran into the camp. At this time, it was obvious that Ge Tong had become hysterical. He jumped more than two feet high like a monkey, clapped his hands and laughed: "I am an official, I am an official, you hurry up and come out to see me. Those who violate it will be killed without any consequences!"
Everyone felt inexplicably strange, stared at them with big eyes and thought to themselves: "What the hell is going on?"
Chen Ying looked as usual.
Zhao Boying's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and she gritted her teeth and shouted: "It's really a mud that can't be supported on the wall!"
Don’t worry about being weak but not being equal, don’t worry about being poor but not being anxious. This is the bad deed of the Chinese people. The poor are suddenly rich or their status suddenly rises, which is very jealous. In particular, Ge Tong was originally just a craftsman raised by the Zhao family, but was suddenly promoted by Chen Ying to be the deputy chief of the camp. Not to mention ordinary people, even Zhao Boying felt sour. Zhao Boying’s youngest son has now been appointed as a military officer. It can be considered a barely earned entry.
But Ge Tong ascended the sky in one step, and came up from the sixth-rank general to become the deputy chief of the camp. Although the general to become the deputy chief of the camp was just a craftsman, for these ordinary people, it was also a great event that could bring honor to their ancestors.
Xu Caifu was extremely envious of Ge Tong's luck in his heart, but when he saw Ge Tong's appearance, he sighed slowly and said to his son Xu Yiming, "See it, this is fate. If you have a fate, don't force it. If you have a fate, you will be in vain. Even if you have an official, you will not have the fate of becoming an official."
Xu Yiming nodded deeply and said, "What my father said is very true. My son studied hard for ten years and then got a Cang Zheng official, but he was just a small official of the eighth rank!"
"It's good to be a small official!" Xu Caifu looked at the Ge Channel, which was already disheveled and like a madman: "General Chen is now in his twenties, and he is now a general named Zuowuwei, who is now a marquis and a general, which is enough to be comparable to Huo Qubing, the former Han Dynasty. Looking at General Chen Ying's face, he is not like a person who died prematurely. His future will not be constrained in the future. You follow General Chen, work diligently, and you can also get a good background in the future."
Although Yang Guang invented the imperial examination system, due to the wars at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the imperial examination system was actually only symbolic in the Sui Dynasty, because Yang Guang only admitted twelve Jinshis. In this era, the imperial examination system was the main way to obtain a background. In fact, if Chen Ying had not been recommended by Princess Pingyang Li Xiuning and Prince Li Jiancheng, he would not have been able to enjoy such a good official career.
Xu Yiming nodded.
Xu Caifu pointed to the disheveled hair and said, "Look, it's like him, he is a person who is born with a miserable life, but once he gains power, he is crazy about gaining power, so why bother?"
A look of unbearable expression appeared on Xu Yiming's face and sighed, "What a pity!"
At this time, the soldiers and civilians in the Shuozhou camp basically knew that Ge Tong had gained the appreciation of Chen Ying and was promoted to the deputy chief of the camp, and suddenly he was very happy to lose his heart.
Zhao Boying yelled at the Zhao children beside him in anger: "What are you doing when you stand there? Do you think it's not embarrassing enough? Hurry up and arrest Ge Tong and lock him in the cowshed!"
As he said that, Zhao Boying knelt down and kowtowed to Chen Ying, "Let the general laugh!"
Chen Ying said: "It's okay!"
In fact, Chen Ying was very clear. After more than 5,000 years of official development, the whole nation was invaded by the idea of officialism, and the highest goal was to be an official. To put it aside, Lao Cheng also applied for civil servants back then. Although civil servants were not official, the intensity of competition was still very terrifying. At that time, there were 200 positions, and the number of applicants was as many as 110,000, which was equivalent to more than 500 people competing for one position. Lao Cheng failed the exam that year, and it took a while before he got out of the pit.
As craftsmen, they have almost no chance to make a name for themselves. They have been for craftsmen for generations. Although among the four scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, workers are the third-class, but there is not much difference between third-class and fourth-class, and neither has any political status or power. It is indeed Chen Ying who has no consideration when he suddenly makes Ge Tong the general and deputy chief supervisor.
Ge Tong's inner ability was too poor, and he was hysterical like Fan Jin passed the exam.
Seeing Ge Tong being carried out by several Zhao's queens, Chen Ying smiled and asked Zhao Boying, "Is there anyone who is afraid of Ge Tong?"
Zhao Boying didn't understand Chen Ying's meaning, but said seriously: "Fan Tong is usually afraid of his father the most, but his father has been dead for three years!"
Chen Ying said: "He was so happy that he was so happy that he blew his mouth into his heart and was confused. As long as he found a fierce person, he slapped him and scared him, he would be fine if he spit out the phlegm!"
Zhao Boying believed and doubted, and asked a person with a fierce face to go over. The fierce face of this man walked up to Ge Tong, raised his hand and slapped him. The slap was very fierce, and he directly slapped Ge Tong and turned him on the spot.
Ge Tong was unconscious on the ground and after a long time he woke up slowly.
Seeing Ge Tong wake up, Zhao Wushang said happily: "Master, you're fine, it's great!"
Ge Tong vaguely remembered that he was appointed as an official by Chen Ying, but he couldn't remember anything else. Ge Tong asked Zhao Wushang quietly: "Have you become an official for your teacher?"
Zhao Wushang nodded: "General Chen promoted his master to an official, and his master also promoted me to an official. Don't be too big, just wear official boots!"
After Ge Tong and a group of apprentices Mok to ask more than a dozen people to thank Chen Yingqian, he quickly built more counterweight trenchers.
The truth is that if the superiors have something to like, the subordinates must follow it. The King of Chu is fond of thin waists, and most of them starve to death in the palace. Ge Tong was awarded the title of official by Chen Ying because of his contribution to building a scattering machine, which caused storms in the Shuozhou camp. In comparison, there were more than one domestic craftsman in the six major families in Shuozhou. Among them, at least thousands of people knew some skills. Among them, carpenters, blacksmiths, lacquers, slanders, and locksmiths were the majority.
Although Ge Tong made a lot of jokes in the camp, Ge Tong undoubtedly made a free advertisement for Chen Ying.
As long as you work hard, you can also become an official.
This made many pretentious craftsmen have thoughts.
