3880 Yamen is really leisurely

The June day in the capital is still very comfortable, and there are no catkins rising from the wind, but the sunflowers slant towards the sun! In early summer, Sijiu City has no wind and sand in spring and annoying catkins, nor the heat of the dog days.

The wind is sunny, the fruits and melons are fragrant, and the eyes are full of green. This green is the beauty between the tenderness of early spring and the greenery of midsummer!

Such weather made the people in the capital forget the hardships of their past lives and feel a little more leisurely!

The people were lazy, and even the officials in the yamen were lazy. Just look at the soldiers on duty at the Zongli Yamen in Dongcheng, who were standing one by one as if they were about to fall asleep.

The huge yamen is very quiet, and it is no longer as loud as before!

Only a few clerks in the duty room were drinking tea and chatting lazily, and the topics they were talking about were secrets in the capital!

"A few new guys come in? I don't know the details at a glance. Brother, I entered the Zongli Yamen Mansion as a post in the twelfth year of Xianfeng. Now I'm still in the fifth-rank Zhangjing!"

A mouse beard is obviously the ** Lake in the yamen. The three newcomers on the other side made him dizzy and fascinated!

"Oh, brother, you are really old-fashioned. The establishment of the Zongli Yamen is only in the eleventh year of Xianfeng. You are a true veteran!"

"Of course! I've become familiar with Dongtangzi Hutong for ten years! How many decades have I been there? From the beginning of the three-entry courtyard house to now, it has expanded more than three times the area. I did it all by myself when I bought the houses around me!"

"Oh, the old brother is so amazing. He is definitely the confidant in front of the prince! Otherwise, he would not be able to give this money-making errand to outsiders!"

The mouse beard curled his lips and said proudly, "That's natural. Most people look down on him. Those are really capable people!"

"Your Majesty! Tell us more about the details in this yamen..."

The mouse beard cannot speak in vain, and his fingers chased his beard and drank tea without saying anything. At first glance, the newcomers knew that if they didn’t get some blood, they wouldn’t be able to get a good relationship!

"Master Gui, old brother... How about living together at noon today? Our brothers and three of us gathered money to invite you! You also know that we have only been here for more than three months and we are tight!"

"But you eat our respectful and filial heart! You won't be able to pick our faults because of the color of the dishes, hahaha!"

Gui Ye smiled, "Oh, just talk to you, I know that you can make a good fortune in the future! Of course, the restaurant is average. I definitely don't like you Gui Ye, but you can talk!"

"I know that a high-capacity holds people and makes people's hearts feel good. This is the ability... Listen to you two, this is what you can do!"

"If you really want to stay in the yamen, you have to learn this... You only have to have a few taels of silver on the face of the table, but you have to tell the feelings of ten taels of silver with your mouth!"

"You said this kid is so good at speaking. Even if he invites me a tael of silver, I have to win his wish! Right? Learn it a little. This is called being able to spend money. He spent a small amount of money and did big things!"

The other two dared not refute, so they could only smile and nodded to cater to it, but they complained in their hearts that, "The rice jar of their wife and children at home is at its bottom. They sold their hometown fields and raised more than 200 taels of silver. They bought such a position as a clerk!"

‘Now the monthly salary of five yuan is only enough for the family’s food, drink and rent. Where can I get the money to hire you, an old dog!’

'But it's not OK to be unclear. I annoy you, an old fried dough stick, will have small shoes to wear in the future!'

'If the bosses who live together were not allowed to be on credit by their fellow townsmen, we might not be able to afford to hire a second-meat shop!'

They had to show their stomachs but couldn't show their faces, and they had to show a very happy and happy look. They knew that if they wanted to do well in a yamen, they had to pay the tuition first.

Then the wife becomes a mother-in-law and the life of making money is at the end!

The mouse beard blackmailed the meal for a lunch, and the conversation started!

"Do you know? Whose mansion was this Zongli Yamen before?"

I don’t know, the three of them kept shaking their heads!

"I don't think you know that it is the old house of the Grand Secretary Sai Shanga! But then the court took it back! Do you know who Sai Shanga is?"

"I don't know? I don't think you know either. That's the only top scholar in the bannerman today! Lord Chongqi!"

"Oh! It turns out that this is Lord Chongqi's old house. I heard that his daughter is going to be the queen!"

"What do you mean? It's! The palace has already decided that the Empress Dowager Cixi was unwilling to choose Chongqi's daughter, but there was no way. His Majesty and Empress Dowager Tianjin decided to join forces, so he chose Chongqi's daughter as the queen!"

"In other words, this Zongli Yamen was once the old house of the empress's family... Later, it was taken back by the court for being convicted, and then it became today's Zongli Yamen!"

The four nine cities are full of networks, the big family is surrounded by small families, and even the houses are full of stories!

Mouse beard tells these people how Saishana was convicted of being defeated by Long Hair, how he was later revived, how his son took the manor to take the exam, and how his daughter was chosen as the queen in the end.

The secrets of many families were dug out in this spitting star!

The white porcelain teapot had already been drunk, and three waves of people who delivered official documents came in between, and they were not anxious. The four of them simply did nothing but chatted, tea and bragged.

The curtain was lifted, and a running errand official walked in with a delight and greeted him politely. "Good, sirs! This is the presentation sent by the Ministry of Rites..."

"Put it there!" The mouse beard waved his hand and let the little official go out.

One of the three people raised his hand and opened it to see it. As a result, Gui Ye shook his head, "There is nothing important in the Ministry of Rites, just throw it aside!"

"It is probably the prefecture below that complained, saying that foreign churches occupy more civil lands and the people want to sue... Local officials dare not care, so they complain to the Ministry of Rites!"

"Can the Ministry of Rites control the foreign Lord? I don't dare to care. I can only send the letter to our Zongli Yamen, and finally let the prince negotiate with the foreign ambassador!"

"The Ministry of Rites basically has these official documents. Our Zongli Yamen has only dealings with them in these business, and it is not important... So remember, don't worry about the official documents of the Ministry of Rites, just save them for half a month and read them together!"

Ah! The three of them suddenly realized and thought that the three liang of mattresses at noon were worth it, and they really gained insight!

After a while, the minor officials of the Ministry of War also sent a bunch of approval documents. The three clerks who listened to the fun did not dare to neglect them. "Oh... the Ministry of War has sent all the articles. It must be important to have something to do, so hurry up and take a look!"

"Let's go there...why are you anxious?" The mouse looked calm like a beard.

Everyone didn't understand and asked, "Old brother, this Ministry of War is a major military and national affairs! Isn't there any rush to deal with it?"

"Bad! You guys just don't have any experience! Learn well! What kind of yamen are we? The Prime Minister's affairs offices in various countries! Foreign devils call this the Ministry of Foreign Affairs!"

"What we deal with is the matter of dealing with foreign devils. Each department must come to us if it is necessary to communicate with foreigners!"

"They are timid and dare not challenge the foreigners. In the end, wouldn't they let our prince come forward?"

"Ministry of War? What's the matter between the Ministry of War that we need to negotiate with foreigners? What a big deal! I guess, or there was a conflict between the soldiers and foreigners on the other side of Shanghai Road!"

"Or it's just that the ports in Hong Kong and Macau are in conflict with foreigners!"

"After the final analysis, our soldiers are bullied by foreigners, so we can vent our anger!"
