The prime minister listened to Khufu's words, smiled, and said: "Since this is the case, then the old man will go to the palace for a trip, but in fact, it is just a formality." His Majesty will certainly agree. ”

"Then there is Prime Minister Lao." Khufu said respectfully.

The prime minister smiled and said: "It's nothing, the old man is also doing things for our big black bird country, it should be, it should be, just ask the two of you to wait in the old man's yamen, how about it?" ”

Khufu nodded and said, "Okay, Brother Gan and I will go to the prime minister's yamen." ”

In this way, the three of them went out of the prime minister's house, not to mention the house, Hanqi, let's talk about home. The three left the prime minister's house and parted ways.

Khufu and Gandhi went to the Prime Minister's Yamen, and the Prime Minister entered the Imperial Palace.

The prime minister's yamen is not very large, and there are few people in it, and it seems that official affairs are not very busy. Gandhi asked, "Brother Hu, why is the prime minister of our country so idle?" ”

Khufu smiled and said, "Idle? Of course idle. Now, the ambassadors of the Dayang Dynasty have basically taken over the government. And it's mainly the part of the treasury revenue, which is very tight! There is also the military department, and the ambassador of the Great Yang Dynasty is also firmly in his hands. As for the other trivial matters, he didn't care. ”

Gandhi said, "Then isn't the king of our great black bird country completely out of power? ”

Khufu said hatefully: "There is a fart, the silver and the army are in the hands of others, what right do you have to speak?" ”

"Hey! What a tragedy! Gandhi sighed.

Khufu said, "Isn't it? Brother, I want to resign, but you still have to be an official. I'll tell you, if you are an official, you won't be able to earn back the money you paid for being an official in ten lifetimes. Do you know how much my money is a year, brother? ”

Gandhi shook his head and said, "I don't know." ”

"Ten taels, ten taels! I'm still a second-class master. You are an official who has made three grades, and a year's salary is only seven or eight taels, you can calculate it yourself, how long will it take for you to earn back these three hundred taels! Khufu said, shaking his head helplessly, expressing his incomprehension of Gandhi's behavior.

Gandhi just smiled and didn't answer. He felt like he had already answered the question.

But Khufu was unrelenting, and then said: "Brother Gan, I know that you want to be an official, this is your dream, you want to glorify your ancestors, but this is too uneconomical!" ”

Gandhi smiled and said, "Brother Hu, if the younger brother wants to make money, he will not go back to China to buy officials, and he will continue to do business in the country." Let's talk to Brother Hu like this, the younger brother is not an official for money. Therefore, whether it is cost-effective or not is not in my consideration. ”

Listening to Gandhi's words, Khufu looked at Gandhi in a daze, sighed, and said, "Okay, you are rich, you are willful. ”

Gandhi smiled and said, "Brother Hu, don't feel sorry for your little brother. The three hundred and two little brothers haven't taken it to heart yet! ”

Khufu looked at Gandhi and asked in a daze, "Brother Gan, how much money have you earned?" ”

Gandhi smiled and said, "Don't hide it from Brother Hu, no more, no less, exactly four hundred taels." I think, I have a hundred taels left, enough for me to spend the rest of my life, right? Ha ha! ”

After listening to Gandhi's words, some saw Gandhi's understatement, and Khufu shook his head again and again! He let out a long sigh again and said, "My brother Gan! You have a total of 400 taels, and you will take out 300 taels to buy an official who has no real power? I don't know what you think. Three hundred taels, three hundred taels! ”

Gandhi listened to Khufu's exclamation, smiled, and said: "Brother Hu, this silver is gone, and I can still earn it again, but if this official is not done, the little brother will have no chance." ”

"Hmm!" Khufu listened to Gandhi's words, nodded with a sad face, and still felt sorry for Gandhi's three hundred taels in his heart. "But you're right, if it's in peacetime, you won't be able to buy an official for four hundred taels."

Gandhi hurriedly said, "Yes, little brother, I think this is an opportunity!" ”

Khufu shook his head helplessly and said, "Forget it, you have already decided, the prime minister has also reported to His Majesty the King, and it is too late to say anything." ”

Gandhi laughed.

The two of them waited in the back hall, and no one served tea or anything, and the furnishings here were also very simple, just a few benches, a shabby table, on which some documents and pens were placed, and it was also a brush, it seems that the culture here is deeply influenced by the East.

In Gandhi's view, this was where the prime minister worked. The lobby in front of you is a place for meetings. This is not quite the same as that of the Hua Han Dynasty.

The two talked about officialdom again.

Khufu said: "Brother Gan, don't look at the small amount of money we officials, but we officials have a lot of things. Of course, what I'm talking about isn't serious, it's about ganging up. In the future, in this court, you should follow the prime minister, otherwise you will be squeezed to death, and you will never want to be an official again. ”

Gandhi asked in surprise: "Brother Hu, our country has become like this, the king doesn't even say it, they still have the heart to engage in party fighting?" ”

Khufu smiled and said, "Because there's nothing to do!" Moreover, most of the official positions of these officials were bought for money like you. Do you think they can be honest? ”

After Gandhi heard this, he nodded, sighed and said: "Yes, they are all rabble, corpse vegetarian guys, who bought officials with silver, so they don't want to be officials well." ”

"Aren't they all the same as you?" Khufu said with a smile, looking at Gandhi with a little meaning.

Gandhi shook his head, nodded again, and said, "What Brother Hu said is very true, I just want to be an official, and I haven't thought about being an official well." This is indeed the same. ”

Khufu said with a smile: "There is also a difference, you buy big officials, and they buy small officials." You also spend the most money. ”

Gandhi smiled and said, "So I want to be a good official, worthy of my three hundred taels of silver." ”

Khufu shook his head with a smile and said, "Brother Gan, let me tell you this. Useless. ”

"How?" Gandhi asked.

Khufu smiled and said, "You are just working hard to make a wedding dress for the Tatars." ”

Gandhi asked, "What does Brother Hu mean, no matter how good I am, I'm just helping the Tatars?" ”

Khufu nodded and said, "Of course, the current imperial court is not what His Majesty the King asks you to do, but what the ambassador of the Great Yang Dynasty asks you to do." ”

"Can I not listen to the Tatars?" Gandhi said.

"Then you don't want to live?" Khufu said with a calm face. The return of the financial empire
