"Looking for it today? Brother Gan is too anxious! Khufu said in surprise.

Gandhi smiled, shook his head helplessly and said: "Don't hide it from Brother Hu, this official is too big, I can't bear it for a moment, please forgive Brother Hu!" ”

Khufu thought for a moment and said, "In that case, then I'll take a run." ”

"Then there's Brother Laohu." Gan nodded and said.

Khufu stood up, thought about it again, and said, "Brother Gan, why don't you go with me!" This way you can talk directly to the prime minister. ”

Gandhi also stood up and said with a smile: "That's very good. ”

"Then let's go, be my carriage." Khufu said with a smile.

In addition to the gate of the house, the two got into Khufu's carriage. To be honest, this carriage is not as decent as the carriage of ordinary people in the Huahan Dynasty. It seems that this big black bird country is really poor! Even such ministers are so shabby. It only costs two hundred taels of silver to buy a big official. These two hundred taels are not as high as the amount of a governor in the Huahan Dynasty for a year!

Poor, really poor!

Gandhi sat in the carriage and only thought that his country was poor, although it was small, but it could not be compared with the Hua Han Dynasty. In this comparison, the Hua Han Dynasty is in the sky, and its own country is not visible on the earth. That's a big gap.

As a result, Gandhi's patriotism came, and he began to feel sorry for his country and people.

It seems that he is quite suitable to be a king, but he comes from a humble background and does not have the capital to be a king. But can he be reconciled?

When I arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion, a low small earthen building was not as good as the houses of ordinary people in the Huahan Dynasty, and it was very simple.

The prime minister was a bad old man, but he was quite amiable, and asked his subordinates to invite Khufu and Gandhi in, and serve the same tea.

"I don't know what Lord Hu is here for?" The prime minister asked.

Khufu didn't beat around the bush anymore, and said straight to the point: "If you go back to the prime minister, Xia Guan came this time to be an official for my brother." My brother wanted to serve the imperial court, but because he had no way, he came to find the lower officials. The lower official had no choice but to bring him to meet the prime minister. ”

After listening to this, the prime minister of the bad old man nodded, stroked his messy beard, and said, "Since you want to be an official, then Master Hu should take this brother to the ministry?" ”

Khufu said: "Don't hide it from the prime minister, my brother wants to be a big official above the third grade." ”

"What? Do you want to be a big official with more than three grades? The prime minister was very surprised when he heard this, and couldn't help but ask.

Khufu nodded and said, "Yes, Prime Minister." ”

"Then what is your brother's ability?" The prime minister asked.

Khufu glanced at Gandhi, then at the prime minister and said, "He has silver." ”

This sentence is all clear. The prime minister naturally understood. So he frowned, then smiled, and said, "Master Hu, since there is silver, this matter can be discussed." It's just that the official position of this court is already a radish and a pit. There is nothing superfluous. ”

Khufu smiled and said, "Prime Minister, my brother is willing to spend more money, and please find a way." ”

The prime minister rolled his eyes and looked at Gandhi, who nodded and smiled.

The prime minister held out three fingers to Gandhi.

Gandhi asked, "What do you mean, Prime Minister?" In fact, he understood the meaning, didn't he ask for three hundred taels of silver?

"Three hundred taels, are you willing to give out?" The prime minister asked.

Gandhi frowned and pondered. He's pretending, that's obvious. Five hundred taels, now it only costs three hundred taels to successfully break into the interior of the high-level court of the Great Black Bird Country, which is a very cost-effective deal.

When the prime minister saw Gandhi pondering, he smiled and said, "Since you feel embarrassed, forget it." ”

Gandhi asked, "Prime Minister, dare to ask what kind of official he is, can he go to court every day, and can he see His Majesty the King often?" ”

The prime minister replied one by one and said, "The old man will answer your first question first." What officer? Then the executive chief, this is a position that the old man wanted to set up in the imperial court before, mainly responsible for liaising with various departments. My usual job is to grasp the information of various departments, and then contract the Prime Minister and His Majesty the King. As for whether you can go to court every day, this is naturally certain. This is a three-grade official position, and there is no problem in going to the court. The last question, since it is the upper court, then you can often see His Majesty the King. I can't help but think that the king will summon you separately to hear your report on the state of affairs. ”

Gandhi was very satisfied after listening to the words of the bad old man, and it was not important that he had no real power for the time being, but it was important to find out the attitude of the high-level of the court towards the Tatar slaves, as well as their true thoughts.

Then he said, "In that case, I am willing to give three hundred taels of silver." ”

"Really?" The prime minister said, he looked at Gandhi in a daze, as if he still didn't believe it. Three hundred taels, that's not a small amount. Of course, these three hundred taels are very small compared to the annual offering to the Great Yang Dynasty every year, but the gathering of less is a lot!

The Great Black Bird Kingdom stipulates that 20,000 taels of silver will enter the palace to the Great Yang Dynasty every year, plus some furs and grain. For such a poor and weak country, 20,000 taels of silver is an astronomical amount. I used to be able to rely on some, but now I can't.

The annual financial income of the Great Black Bird Country does not have this figure, so I have to think of other ways, buying officials is a good way to open source.

Of course, buying officials is only buying some petty officials who have no real power, and the price is within 100 taels. For a while, those who had some silver in their hands sat on the official, which could be regarded as the glory of the ancestors.

In just one year, the court of the Great Black Bird Kingdom earned 10,000 taels of silver because of the purchase of officials, and made up the annual offerings to the Great Yang Dynasty. There is also a surplus to keep the court running. However, next year's annual payment will be a big problem.

Therefore, this official still has to be sold, and at this time Gandhi is willing to pay three hundred taels, and the prime minister will certainly be able to do what he wants.

"Okay, Brother Nagan has made up his mind, and the old man must first say to His Majesty the King. It's tomorrow, tomorrow is the day of the dynasty. The prime minister said with a smile. He was very happy to make the deal.

Gandhi said, "The Prime Minister will make it clear to His Majesty the King today that tomorrow I want to be an official in the court." ”

"Are you so eager?" The prime minister asked with some puzzlement.

At this time, Khufu smiled and said, "Prime Minister, my brother wants to serve the court, and he doesn't want to wait for a moment. When he was in Xiaguan's yamen, Xiaguan wanted to come again tomorrow to pay homage to the Prime Minister, but Xiaguan's brother just refused! Hehe. Just ask the prime minister not to wait for tomorrow. "The return of the financial empire
