Chapter 923: All-Out War (3)
Gandhi quickly took it back, and asked the prime minister to bring the silver into the palace and give it to His Majesty the King, and then when he came back, he said to Gandhi: "Brother Gan, tomorrow you will go to the court, the old man has brought you the official uniform, hurry up and change it to see if it is appropriate?" ”
Gandhi was not polite, so he changed into an official uniform in the prime minister's yamen, with three yellow lines on his chest, representing his rank as a third-grade official.
Khufu said: "Brother Gan, this official uniform is simply too suitable, as if it was tailor-made for you. ”
Gandhi smiled and expressed satisfaction. However, he still asked: "May I ask the Prime Minister, where do I usually do official business?" ”
The prime minister smiled and said: "Brother Gan, you asked well, but this prime minister can already arrange for you, you are the executive officer, you can move around in any department, and you can go to whichever department you want." It's okay, you can come to my prime minister's yamen, and you can go to Lord Hu's Huangjun yamen, in short, you can go wherever you want. Officials go to court, you can also go, no, you have to go. And, sometimes, it is likely that His Majesty will summon you and me separately to inquire about the state of affairs in the various departments. So, you have to get a result out of your casual strolling, so that you can wait for His Majesty to ask! ”
Gandhi smiled and said, "That's the case, then thank you for the arrangement." ”
"Don't thank me." The prime minister said with a smile.
Gandhi said: "I must be very grateful to the Prime Minister, and of course to Brother Hu for his introduction. In this case, the younger brother will invite the two adults to have a meal! ”
The prime minister and Khufu looked at each other and nodded.
Gandhi said: "My brother remembers that there is a roast sheep shop on this street, which is very authentic, I wonder if there is any more?" ”
Khufu smiled and said, "Yes, there is." On this street, that's all that's left. ”
"What about the others?" Gandhi asked.
Khufu shook his head and sighed and said, "Everything else is yellow." ”
The prime minister interjected and said, "This roast sheep shop is still surviving with the support of the Tatar slaves." Because the Tatar people like to eat roast sheep, they make it very authentic. The Tatar slaves directly reduced the tax on the shop. ”
Gan Ding nodded when he heard this, and said, "So that's the case!" Then let's go there and eat roasted whole lamb! ”
The prime minister nodded and said, "No problem, it's just that we have to be cautious when we get there!" ”
Gandhi smiled and said, "Little brother knows, because there are many Tatars there!" ”
The prime minister looked at Gandhi and said with a smile: "Brother Gan is really a smart person!" ”
Gandhi smiled and said, "The prime minister has won the prize!" ”
The three of them talked and laughed and walked out of the prime minister's yamen and went straight to the roast sheep shop at the east end of the street. It was ten o'clock in the middle of lunch, and there were many people in the shop, and Gandhi could see at a glance that there were a lot of Tatars in it. Of course, there are also people from the big black bird country, all of whom are high-ranking officials and nobles, and in the current situation, this poor people don't eat such a tube.
Most of the people in the shop knew the prime minister and Khufu, and they all got up to say hello. Of course, the greetings were all from the Great Black Bird Country, while the Tatar slaves were all sitting, some just said hello, and some simply ignored them. I didn't take the prime minister of this big black bird country in my eyes at all.
The prime minister is also used to it, but he still has to greet the Tatars.
When Gandhi saw the groveling appearance of the prime minister of his country, he felt great hatred in his heart.
The three of them came to a small single room and asked for a suckling sheep, just enough for the three of them to eat. Dairy sheep are much more expensive than normal sheep, but Gandhi doesn't care. This is a direct acquaintance with the high-ranking officials of the Great Black Bird Country. By now, the goal has been more than half accomplished. As long as I send this to the high-ranking officials and find out the specific attitude of the court of the Great Black Bird Kingdom towards the Tatar slaves, the task will be completely completed.
However, now he has taken up the task on his own.
The roast suckling sheep came up, and it turned out to be fat flowing oil, a burnt smell, and the three of them drooled when they smelled it. The wine also came up. Gandhi poured wine for the prime minister and Khufu, and filled his own.
The prime minister smiled and said: "Brother Gan, if it weren't for you, I, as the prime minister of a country, would be reluctant to eat this roast suckling sheep." This one costs five taels of silver! It's just too expensive. ”
Khufu also said: "Prime Minister, don't talk about this roast suckling sheep, even if you rely on normal sheep, you can't afford to eat it!" There are more than a dozen people in Xiaguan's family, so they point to Xiaguan's forty taels of silver this year to live! ”
Gandhi secretly looked around and whispered: "If the Tatar slaves stay in our Great Black Bird Country for another two years, Brother Hu, I'm afraid your forty taels will be gone." ”
"Shhhh Brother Gan, have you forgotten what the old man told you? The prime minister hurriedly reminded in a low voice.
Gandhi quickly closed his mouth and nodded, and then said naturally: "Come, I will give you a bowl of wine." With that, he picked up the wine bowl.
Both the prime minister and Khufu took up their bowls. The prime minister said: "Brother Gan, in the future, we will be officials in the same dynasty, so don't be so polite." In this way, the three of us will be called brothers in the future! ”
Gandhi smiled and said, "Since the two adults don't dislike it, then the younger brother will obey his fate." ”
Khufu smiled and said, "Why don't you hurry up and call the eldest brother?" ”
Gandhi immediately exclaimed, "The eldest brother, the second brother, and the younger brother salute the two elder brothers for a bowl." The younger brother did it first as a respect. With that, he drank all the wine in the bowl.
The prime minister and Khufu also drank it all.
The three of them showed their wine bowls and laughed. Then I started to eat this fat and fragrant roast suckling sheep.
In the end, Gandhi took out another ten taels of silver and gave them to the prime minister and Khufu respectively, saying that they had bought some tea and water for the two of them. Khufu and the prime minister were very grateful, and the five taels of silver were a huge amount of money in their eyes.
Indeed, these five taels of silver were almost a month's worth for them.
This time, when Gandhi returned, he could not help but receive five hundred taels of silver from the military department of the Hua Han Dynasty, and he himself brought one hundred taels of silver. This is his family background, and the reason why he brought it with him is that he must complete the task, as long as he completes the task, he can easily earn it back for a mere one hundred taels of silver.
Gandhi knew very well what it meant to be a poor family and a rich road. He was afraid that the five hundred taels would not be enough, so he had to be prepared. I didn't think about it, and sure enough, it came in handy. Four hundred taels bought an official, and the five hundred taels were already less than one hundred taels, but now adding his own one hundred taels will not make him feel flustered.
At this point, he couldn't help but be proud of his wit.
After the three of them had eaten, they went back to their respective places.
Gandhi returned to the inn and wondered where he would stay. The return of the financial empire
