Above the court, while Ying Feiyu had not yet come, the ministers all took out paper and pens and recorded each other's telephone numbers.

Some of them signed up late, installed a little later, and are now reporting their phone numbers to others.

"Tongwuhou, I heard that you have four or five telephones installed in your home?"

A military general looked at him with envy.

"That's right! I have one, one for the old father in the family, one for Wang Li's kid, and one for the kid, and one in the main hall, which can be used by everyone at ordinary times! ”

Wang Ben puffed out his chest and nodded arrogantly.

"It's still a few Shangshu amazing! Although the installation fee has been reduced, we will have to pay 50 gold every month, and four phones are 200 gold, which is more than our salary for a year, and we can't afford it at all! ”

"Yes! It's hard to install a phone, let alone four or five, don't even think about it! ”

The two ministers around him also praised him.

They are not like Wang Ben and others, they are the first batch to follow His Majesty to do business, and the monthly dividends flow to the mansion like flowing water.

The electricity and railways they invested in were a long-term transaction, and the share of the shares they invested in was not much, so the money they could get every month was not much, and the sale was naturally not so generous!

At first, Wang Ben and Zhang Han only installed one phone, but when they learned that the installation fee was only fifty gold, they immediately signed up to install a few more, which made it more stylish.

Sure enough, he received envious glances from many courtiers!

"Tongwuhou, in the past few days, I have seen that the business of the public telephone shops in the city is getting better and better day by day, and they have to start queuing up recently!"

"Yes! At the beginning, everyone didn't know each other's phone numbers, but now they basically inquire about it, and business will naturally improve! ”

"According to this posture, it will not take a few days for the line to line up on the street!"

"Hmmm! Almost! ”

"Fortunately, everyone is very fast on the phone, and the next person can be ...... in a few minutes!"

Telephone calls have not only become the hottest topic among the people, but also in the court.

Until the beginning of the early dynasty, everyone was on the same topic!

Today, in the court, most of the reports are the political achievements of various places, the people's grain harvest this year, how it compares with previous years, etc., there is nothing nutritious.

The only slightly bigger event is that Wang Ben will retire next month to discuss the candidate for the next secretary of the military department!

In fact, everyone knows that this position must be taken over by Han Xin, the current servant of the Criminal Department.

Han Xin is His Majesty's henchman, and at the same time, he is fighting for Great Qin in all directions and cleaning up overseas, and the position of the secretary of the military department must be his.

However, the procedure that should be followed still has to be followed.

The courtiers recommended Han Xin one after another, so Ying Feiyu announced in public that Han Xin would take over as the secretary of the military department.

From now on, the handover will be completed within a month, Wang Ben will retire, and Han Xin will take office!

After the next court, there was a congratulatory sound in the court.

In addition to congratulating Han Xin on his promotion to the secretary of the military department, he is also congratulating Wang Ben.

The daughter of the family became the queen, and the son also held a high position in the court, and it would not take a few years to sit in the position of Shangshu.

And after he retires, he doesn't have to go to court early, and he still has a pension, and his comfortable life is about to begin!

"I really envy you, Tongwu Hou, now you have reached the pinnacle of life! Unlike us, we have to work hard for our son's future! ”

"Yes! My son is not angry, there is no hope of entering the court, and the whole family depends on me to support him! ”

"But no, we don't have such a good blessing as Marquis Wu......!"

What the ministers envy the most is that Wang Ben can climb the big tree of His Majesty.

Now that the children are settled, there is no need to go to court after retirement, and there is endless money on hand, and the days are really beautiful and enviable!

"Alas! What's so good about retirement? I'm getting older, and it's boring to stay at home every day! ”

Wang Ben waved his hand modestly, but in fact, he couldn't be beautiful in his heart.

"The Marquis of Tongwu has fought on the battlefield all his life, has rich experience, and has made great contributions to Great Qin, and His Majesty will hire you back to train those young generals! At that time, the days of Tongwu Hou will be lively! ”

"That's right! If Tongwuhou feels bored after retirement, we will definitely recommend you to rehire you if you have the opportunity! ”

"Yes, yes......!"

The ministers didn't know what he really thought, thinking that he was genuinely bored, and immediately mentioned rehiring.

However, Wang Ben hurriedly waved his hand, "No, no, no!" Because of the galloping battlefield for a lifetime, so I fell into a lot of diseases, I'm afraid I can't be rehired, I take advantage of retirement to return home to take care of! Oops! My waist, when I say it hurts, it starts to hurt! Oops......! ”

As he spoke, he held his old waist and left the palace with a very painful expression, leaving everyone else stunned.

After leaving the palace, I jumped in the car and immediately changed.

The pain in his waist was gone, the painful expression on his face was gone, and he muttered to himself, "Do you still want me to be rehired?" Pull it down, am I short of those two dollars? Now it's all thermal weapons, what else is there to train? Just bulldoze all the way! Is it bad for me to lie at home when I have that time? ”

After shaking his head, he drove the car and walked all the way away.

In the month before his retirement, he still has to continue the early dynasty! After the next dynasty, he went to the military department to hand over to Han Xin.

It's said to be a handover, but it's actually nothing.

Since Han Xin became a squire in the military department, many things have been handed over to him to deal with, and only some things that are not sure are discussed together.

As long as you explain something, the handover is complete!

After a month of casual mixing, Wang Ben officially retired.

"Dad, in the future, our two will play chess and boxing at home, and it will be very comfortable, haha!"

Officially retired, after taking off the court clothes, Wang Ben said to Lao Tzu Wang Jian happily.

"Humph! In the dynasty for a lifetime, suddenly retire, the heart will definitely be empty! ”

Wang Jian was playing chess alone, and after losing a son, he said with emotion.

He has experienced all of what his son is experiencing now, how can he not understand it?

"Impossible! Father! I'm not the same as you were now! Our family now wants money and status, isn't it good for me to enjoy happiness at home? Why get up before dawn every day? ”

Wang Ben said unconvinced.

"Humph! Wait and see! It's just a few days of freshness! ”

Wang Jian smiled firmly.

In fact, as he expected, Wang Ben woke up every time he arrived for several days, and he had to go to court early when he got up.

It wasn't until I couldn't find my official uniform everywhere that I remembered that I had retired!

What I usually look forward to the most is to go home and have a good meal and take a nap after the next dynasty.

Now no one cares, he eats whenever he wants, and he sleeps whenever he wants.

I don't think it's boring!

In the past, I hoped that the military headquarters would be safe and able to go around.

Now he can go out at any time, but he feels that he doesn't know where to go out, and there is no point in going out!

It seems that the little time I used to squeeze out was happier, but now I have a lot of time, but I feel that life is not interesting!

"How? Isn't that right? ”

Seeing that his son was sullen all day long, Wang Jian stroked his beard and said.

"Alas!"

Wang Ben only sighed deeply and didn't say anything.

"Don't worry, it's temporary! After a few days of getting used to it, you will get used to ......! ”

Wang Jian said with a smile: "Zhang Han and Meng Tian are not young, should they all retire next year?" And Chun Yuyue's kid, who is all day long, should be fast, right? Among you people, Kang Anping can be younger, and it will be no problem to work for another seven or eight years! ”

"Yes! Next year, Zhang Han and Meng Tian should also retire, and then we can drink and play chess together, and if we are really bored, we can also travel together! ”

Hearing this, Wang Ben's eyes suddenly lit up.

Zhang Han is only a few months younger than him, and he will retire next spring, so he will have company by then!
