The Chongqing Government Office and the Sichuan Province Office are on the same street as the Baxian County Office. They are not far away from each other. Han Xiufeng, the clerk of the two big yamen, almost doesn't recognize them. In the past few years, he has not only helped in the county government office.

When the clerks in the Government Office and the Road Office were too busy, they would ask someone like him to help with the writing. They also had to bring their own paper and pen, and they would also be charged according to the number of words after they had finished writing.

Because of this, Han Xiufeng came to Daotai Yamen as if he were going home. He said hello to the doorman and the yamen on duty, then took Pan Er into Daotai Yamen and went straight to the public room in front of the bank.

Ambassador Cang is not busy today. He is walking around the hall with a purple clay teapot.

It was about to enter October, but the weather was still sultry, and everyone else was bare-headed. He was still wearing a straw hat in the room with a shiny plain gold crown, and an azure satin official uniform with a chest

Sure enough, the front was adorned with the robe of a seventh-grade civil servant, and he was wearing a pair of new-style Beijing boots. He was drinking tea while imitating the chirping of birds. This scene made Han Xiufeng think of a word: dressed like a beast!

"What the hell, you just barged in without announcing anything. I don't see you playing with the birds in this place..." Ambassador Cang cursed that the people who came were not his subordinates, and couldn't help laughing: "

Who am I talking about? It turns out to be Xiao Si'er. You can be a rare visitor. What brought you here?"

"Ambassador Liu, it's been a while since I've been here. I just have some free time today, so I came to see you and say hello to you." Han Xiufeng not only listened to him speak in Beijing's official dialect, but also learned to speak like one.

Qian, who looked presentable, then pointed to the fruits Pan was carrying in his hands and said, "I met them on the way here. They looked fresh and I bought a basket for you to try."

It was not the first day that Ambassador Cang met Han Xiufeng. He looked at the fruits, turned around and said with a smile, "Xiao Si'er, when did you become so generous? Is something wrong?"

"Look what you said, if nothing happens, can't I buy some fruits to honor you?"

"I really don't know about other people, but I know about you. If you show your courtesy for nothing, there must be something wrong!"

Han Xiufeng no longer talked around in circles with him, nor did he learn the convoluted Beijing Mandarin from him. He chuckled and said: "I know I can't hide it from you. I have two things to do today. One is to congratulate you on your promotion to the seventh grade candidate county magistrate.

Secondly, I also donated an official title, which of course is not comparable to yours, but I have donated one anyway, and I will go to the capital in a few days to make a donation and come here specifically to say goodbye to you."

"Ninth grade candidate inspection, right?" Ambassador Cang looked at him with a smile and asked.

"How did you know?" Han Xiufeng asked, pretending to be surprised.

"Chongqing Mansion is so big. I don't know what's going on." Ambassador Cang put down the teapot, patted his arm and said with a smile: "The news in the previous houses has been spread, and I heard that I want to apply for an official document to be transferred to the Ministry of Personnel.

We’re here too. After all, I worked in a government office, so I have a lot of acquaintances. It’s easier to do things if you have acquaintances. Otherwise, I don’t know how long I have to wait, and I don’t know how much extra money I have to spend.”

"Look what you said, it all depends on the care of Ambassador Liu and the uncles in Qifang."

"They have watched you grow up, so of course I have to take care of you, but I don't, and I don't dare to accept this favor from you." Ambassador Cang also didn't want to waste his words, and then changed the topic: "Xiao Si'er, what are you doing today?

Are you here to ask me to help you repair a few letters, so that you can save yourself unnecessary trips and waste money when you get to the capital?"

Although he donated a seventh-grade top hat, in the final analysis he was just an ambassador to the warehouse. Before he came to Sichuan and took office, he was also a scribe in the capital, and seemed to be working in the Ministry of Household Affairs.

Han Xiufeng thought to himself that what I am asking for is the Ministry of Personnel. What is the use of asking you, a former clerk of the Ministry of Household Affairs, to write a letter? Now that he had said this, he simply followed his words and smiled and said: "Ambassador Liu, it's really not true."

Frankly speaking, I really came here for this matter. You have worked as an errand in the Ministry of Revenue and lived under the emperor's feet for so many years, so you must have many acquaintances."

What surprised him was that Ambassador Cang actually shook his head: "Xiao Si'er, you are considered yourself. I will tell you a few words of sincerity. Donating officials is easy to fill a gap, but this gap is really not that easy to fill.

Yes! With this money, why not go back to your hometown and buy a hundred acres of land, get a wife, have a few kids, and live a good life."

"Ambassador Liu..."

"Listen to me, are you jealous of me? It's normal to be jealous of me, but you can't just see someone like me who can fill the vacancy and become a superior officer, but you also have to think about how many people are eagerly waiting to fill the vacancy, but in the end they wait for a long time.

Year after year, they are so poor that they don't even have food to eat, and eventually they die in a foreign country!" Afraid that Han Xiufeng wouldn't believe it, Ambassador Cang raised his arm and pointed in the direction of Chengdu: "If you don't believe me, you can go to Chengdu.

Take a look at the gate of Taitai Yamen. The candidates waiting to fill the vacancy range from one thousand to eight hundred. Those who have some money at home are fine, but those who have no money live like a beggar."

"Ambassador Liu, I know you are doing this for my own good, but I have to make up for this shortcoming. There is really no other way." He was telling the truth, so Han Xiufeng simply told the truth and slowly told everything about his family.

, except that Pan Er was the creditor, everything else that needed to be said was said.

Ambassador Cang suddenly realized it and couldn't help but sigh: "According to what you said, this gap really has to be filled. It's a pity that you are looking for the wrong person when you come to me. Let's put it this way, the subordinate officials in the Ministry of Personnel, including those court officials, only

You know money but not people! Don't talk about my letter, even if Daotai is willing to write it for you, it will be useless."

"In that case, I won't bother you anymore." Han Xiufeng sighed helplessly, and then changed the topic: "Ambassador Liu, can you help me with something else?"

"What's up?"

"Don't I have to go to the capital? When I arrive in the capital, I can't do without my official uniform. You are now the Cang Ambassador with the title of Jiazhi County. You are wearing a seventh-grade top hat, which is much more majestic than before. Can you please watch me?

For my own sake, would you lend me your old official uniform to the capital as a donation? If you can do it, then this kindness will be repaid generously when I, Han Si, fill the vacancy and earn money as a Shangguan!"

Ambassador Cang suddenly realized that there was an ambush here. He immediately pointed at Han Xiufeng and said with a smile: "Xiao Si'er, Xiao Si'er, you're such a naughty kid! Let me lend you my original official uniform to the capital.

How will you repay it when the time comes? Not to mention whether you can make up for the vacancy, I don’t know how many days I can be a warehouse ambassador. Where will you find me, and where can I find you?"

"Ambassador Liu, this is not the first day you have recognized me. You should know that I, Han Si, are not that kind of person!"

"Everyone can say nice things. Whether it's true or not, I won't believe a word of it. Money is the only thing that's reliable these days. If you want my old official uniform, bring me some money!"

Pan Er thought to himself just now that he thought he was a good person, but when it came to business, he became like this. He thought that an official would fall out of love faster than he could read a book. Although Han Xiufeng said so, he never expected that Ambassador Cang would really know how to do it.
