"That's it," said Qi You, "the most infuriating thing is the amount of money for the Summer Palace project!" The Ministry of Internal Affairs has made more than 10 million taels -- to tell the truth, this is still a small fight, and if you hit too much, you are afraid of scaring the 'superiors'; What do you mean? Doesn't it mean that the Ministry of Internal Affairs has 'reported the flowers'? In this way, what do you think of the Internal Affairs Office? What will we do with reimbursement in the future? ”

"This is indeed excessive."

"There are also two princesses Rong'an and Dunrou surrendered!" Qi You said, "This ...... The princess surrendered, it was the emperor's daughter who got married, and the Internal Affairs Office was the emperor's housekeeper, marrying a daughter, dowry or something, you have to do it yourself, there is no reason to call your son-in-law to do it, right? We thought, Empress E, 'Xun is also a grand event', make a few sets of new clothes, make a few new pieces of furniture, we always want it, right? I can't eat the fat meat in the Summer Palace, so it's okay to drink the broth that the princess descended, right? ”

After a pause, he continued: "Who would have thought that the dowry work was assigned to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but the 'top' said that a new piece is not needed, and it is all used to press the goods at the bottom of the box!" Well, the Internal Affairs Office was so busy that it was sweating profusely, and from beginning to end, it actually only did one thing: rummaging through the cabinets! ”

"Third Master Khan" frowned slightly, and said: "You say, this is also strange, even if the poor family can't open the pot, marrying a daughter, you have to pull a few feet of flower cloth and make a new set of clothes for the bride, this Xuan Wangye, marry two princesses at one time, what a glorious and beautiful thing?" The princess's dowry, unexpectedly...... Replacing the old with the new? This, this, speaking out, how undignified it is, how much it loses! ”

Qi You snorted: "Isn't it?" I really don't know how he calculated! ”

"Mao Jian'er" next to him smiled and said, "How to play his abacus." We don't know. But. The abacus beads are pulled and pulled, and several 'charity auctions' have come down, this abacus has played out a full 3,556,300 taels of white silver, just like a trick, if you are not convinced, it really can't be! ”

Qi You squinted his eyes and looked at "Mao Jian'er". "Gege" smiled and said, "What a refreshing number!" I don't know, in other things, is your 'hairy' belly also generally refreshing? Why, after Guan San came up, did your life as a household secretary get better? ”

"Mao Jian'er" smiled slightly again and said, "Qi Da, you don't have to squeeze me." I just have one thing to say, and two to say. Well, yes. One yard to one yard! If you want to talk about the days of the household department secretary after someone came to power-our cousin, don't you know? In the household department...... That's called prying the door into the house and digging three feet into the ground! I tried my best to pick up my tail and be a man, so I didn't fold it in, this day, is that a human life? ”

He shook his head and let out a long sigh, "Ahh

Qi You and "Mao Jian'er" are two friends, so Qi You directly called each other's nicknames, "Mao Jian'er" called Qi You, and sometimes the word "Ye" in "Uncle Qi" was removed.

Qi You sneered: "Isn't this it!" ”

After a pause, he said, "Yan Lao Xi'er's hands are really too spicy!" Relying on Guan San's momentum, this household official is really too domineering! Not only did the other hall officials stand untenable, but even the big military aircraft in charge of the department couldn't speak! Alas, now, Bao Pei has also gone, and the household department is even more the world of Yan Lao Xi'er alone! ”

After taking a sip of wine, he remembered something, and turned to Yang Shuban, who had not spoken much: "Old Yang, it's better for you to be a minister!" Several court officials, working together, will not wear small shoes for the people below. ”

Yang Shuban waved his hand and said: "Uncle Qi, 'a few court officials, work together in harmony, and they won't wear small shoes for the people below', this is about a good thing, but do you think that the life of our secretary is really better?" ”

"Hey, what do you mean? Ask. ”

"The 'Advisory Committee' has come up with a 'Dispatch Division', do you know about this?"

"Relocation Division"? Everyone thinks, what a weird name.

"'Relocation Division'? Well, I've vaguely heard of it, but I don't know the details. ”

"The so-called 'adjustment' means 'adjustment and placement', and who is 'adjustment and placement'?" Meritorious Personnel'! Where are the 'meritorious people'? I didn't say it explicitly, in fact, it was the 'meritorious personnel' of Guan someone's own Xuan Army! This group of 'meritorious personnel' has retired from military service and must be given a way out. This way out is not from the Ministry of Officials, but directly from the Advisory Committee, and after that, it is necessary to prepare cases in the Ministry of Officials! ”

Qi You thought about it for a while, and couldn't help but say in a lost voice: "Ouch, isn't this a ...... 'tiger class'?" ”

"Better than the 'Tiger Class'!" No matter how ruthless the tiger class is, it has to go from the official department, and in a year, how many 'tiger classes' can there be? ”

"As soon as the 'Dispatch Division' came out, we felt that something was wrong! However, our cousins, you also said, 'Harmony'! - Hey, between each other, a ball of harmony; It is not easy to do difficult for the bottom, so it will naturally be more obedient to the 'top'! No matter how we tried to knock on the side, these adults pretended to be deaf and dumb, and none of them were willing to fold and have any objections to the 'Dispatch Division'. ”

"At that time, we thought, when the Xuan Army saw the expansion of Tian'er, how many 'meritorious personnel' would retire after a while? On our side, it probably won't hurt much, since no hall official is willing to be this rafter, forget it, we won't make trouble, otherwise, it will really annoy the 'boss', and send a hall official like Yan Lao Xi'er to the ministry, wouldn't it be ...... Didn't eat mutton, but got into a sheep's commotion? ”

"Who knows—alas!"

It's fun, today's table of flowers and wine, one after another "Alas! ”

"Who knows the 'meritorious personnel' of the Xuan Army," Yang Shuban said, "'Transfer' up, the flow price is like a succession, endless!" There is a good shortage, we have the heart to give that so-and-so, so-and-so, and they are still negotiating the price with each other, and the person who came out of the 'Dispatch Division' has already arrived! On our side, we can only 'file' and talk about fart, hey! ”

Speaking of this, Yang Shuban stopped and took a long sip of stuffy wine.

"Mao Jian'er" said: "When the Kangxi Dynasty. 'Chao Election' is not as good as 'Western Election'; 'Election of the Morning' is not as good as 'Election of the Year'; Okay, 'Chaoxuan' is not as good as 'Xuanxuan'! ”

"Third Master Khan" muttered: "Isn't this another 'small official department'?" ”

"Start anew!" Qi You's eyes flashed, "This trick is a way to deal with him against the Internal Affairs Office!" ”

"Not bad!" Yang Shuban said, "Uncle Qi." We are in solidarity! Don't say anything else, just take what you just said, you don't have any work to hand over to Third Brother Han to do, and what about me, I also made Lao Wan drink the northwest wind for a long time! Lao Mao, I'm afraid it's even more needless to say! ”

Shopkeeper Wan and "Mao Jian'er" glanced at each other, sighed first, and then dropped a sentence: "Honest!" ”

The "rules and regulations" of the silver horn, and the official offices of the large and small yamen and the six ministries in the capital. There are mutual contacts and donations. Please seal it, and it will be handled by the silver trumpets; The money that should be paid by the silver number is paid by the silver number - this is all over the way.

In addition, "the king of Hades is good, and the little ghost is difficult", take the Ministry of Officials as an example, an official, the first official distributes, receives the appointment, is promoted and replaced, discusses the insurance case, disposes of the praise, inspects the outside of the capital, abides by the system for life, goes out to naturalize, and gives mercy to the shade - from entering the official to vacancy, before and after his death, he can not know the hall official, he can meet with different officials, but every step of the way, he has to deal with the scribe.

At every joint, the scribe will have what he needs, and if he doesn't fill it, he can find all kinds of reasons to suppress the official affairs and find fault with the delay.

Most of the court officials were born in Hanlin, and they were not familiar with the affairs of the ministry, and some of the court officials, before they arrived at the ministry, did not know a single regulation of the ministry, and there were also some of them, and this dynasty has always known the practice of "everything must be invoked, and the case must be prosecuted", so even if the court officials know the scribe tricksters, they are not as good as that.

Many scribes were thus wealthy, and the best of them were extravagant and extravagant, comparable to those of princely and magnate merchants. The so-called "Dongfu" refers to the fact that the scribes mostly live in the east of Zhengyangmen and outside the Chongwen Gate, and the mansions are contiguous and pedestrians look sideways.

The scribes talked about the pound, negotiated the price, took bribes, and in most cases, also passed a specific silver number.

The "Wan Tong Heng" of the shopkeeper of Wan has very close contacts with Yang Shuban and "Mao Jianer".

"Third Master Khan" asked tentatively: "This ...... There's no way out? ”

Yang Shuban shook his head: "Alas, the mouth is open, and it will be difficult to block it again!" ”

After a pause, he said: "We discussed in private, the only way is to say that the 'Dispatch Division' is doing this way, blocking the way for the 'Right Path' to move forward, and encouraging a few old men to go up and down, please remove the 'Dispatch Division', even if everyone gets together and spends 108,000 silver?" However, it is also difficult! ”

Qi You's eyes lit up: "'Buy ginseng'? The road is good, but what's the difficulty? ”

"The way of words now is not as good as before! This surnamed Guan does have a skill, both soft and hard, Han, Zhan, Ke, and Dao, they are all much more obedient, and even Wuzhongtang doesn't talk much! You see, the clan bank is now going to lend them at low interest rates, and it's too late to thank Dade, who is willing to come out and make the first rafters? ”

After a pause, he said: "Besides, 'born on the right path', although you have to be 'motivated' and 'born in military merits', you can't just say that you don't want to be 'motivated'?" This, after all, is not a donation. ”

There was a moment of silence.

"Alas, why is it like this, our Lord Xuan...... So ......"

"Third Master Khan" said two "so" in a row, and I don't know how to phrase it.

"Why are you so fierce and domineering, and don't leave someone else a way to live?" Qi You gritted his teeth slightly, "Aren't they all spoiled and used to by those two little widows?" It's all gone! ”

"Yo, Uncle Qi," "Third Master Khan" said with a smile, "Your tone ......"

"What's wrong with me?" Qi You pouted, "The three of them, that's a bit of a, as if they don't know any of them!" Especially the one in the west! She was in the same three or two, and she ...... early in the morning Hmph, it's covered! Others say, how can Guan San be capable, what is not met in a hundred years, and it will not come out in a thousand years, I say, it is the thing under Guan San, which is long and thick in a thousand years! ”

Everyone was stunned, several sisters widened their eyes, and some of them covered their mouths, and the "Jiang Xian'er" who was sitting next to Qi You twisted his body, frowned, and said in a coquettish voice: "My Uncle Qi, you dare to say this kind of thing?" You ...... too. Speakable? Ouch, shame on you! ”

Mao Jian'er pointed at Qi You with a finger: "Qi Da, you have to have a door!" ”

Qi You became more and more excited, and said, "What they did, I can't say it?" Take this time to Tianjin, to put it nicely, what is 'praying for the first emperor', in fact, isn't it just an excuse to go to live and live in two places? It's not good, I'm afraid I'll make my stomach bigger and hide out......"

The faces of everyone present changed, and the "Third Master Khan" smiled and said, "Uncle Qi, there is wine, there is wine!" ”

"'West' went," Qi You didn't care, foaming at the mouth, "You see, Guan San must run to Tianjin every three or five times, why?" The little widow's belly is soft! Don't have time to go to Tianjin? And that's okay too! In the Forbidden City, there is a little widow, who is also open......"

At this moment, I heard a burst of cheers outside the window.
