Time Travel: My whole family is a villain

Chapter 264 The Huangmen Minister

……

Jiang Changtian wore a sky-blue robe today.

Personable.

Following the official who led the way, he seemed to have turned around several times before arriving in front of a hall.

There were many people waiting at the door.

The man went in to report.

He waited outside for a while.

The wind made his nose turn red.

Then he was called in.

Someone came out at the same time.

There were people waiting behind him.

Lu Xiang seems to be really busy.

He managed to jump in line.

There were many people waiting behind him who looked at him somewhat unkindly.

Jiang Changtian thought it was quite interesting.

This corrupt official and treacherous official, Lu Sanzhi and Lu Wugui, whom everyone calls, actually makes people feel very diligent, as if they are doing practical things.

After Jiang Changtian entered, he found that the room was very busy.

There are several tables, and several people are working on paperwork.

And there is another room inside.

Lu Xiang is inside.

He was leaning on a soft couch, with a big belly and tea in his hand.

Seeing Jiang Changtian come in, he smiled kindly and said, "Sorry, I've been working for too long and it's hard for me to move my neck. It's not that I don't want to look at you, but I can only look forward with my neck. Some people say I am arrogant, probably because of this."

Jiang Changtian looked flattered and nodded repeatedly.

When Lu Xiang met the person in front of him, the person the emperor personally told him, he didn't like this kind of change, but he still had to do what the emperor told him.

All we can do is pull people in front of us and beat them.

Seeing this person's appearance, it turned out to be exactly what the emperor said. I always felt that he looked familiar, as if I had seen him before.

He didn't feel friendly, but rather disgusted, looking like this, like a jester.

Moreover, the emperor personally explained it, and the emperor remembered him.

Lu Xiang beat the man a few words, then closed his eyes when he saw that he didn't understand.

He was a rebel and came from the countryside. It was probably because of his face that he caught the emperor's attention.

"Your father and I used to be colleagues, but I didn't want you to be so old in the blink of an eye." Lu Xiang mentioned the deceased Taifu Qian Jiang again.

In the officialdom, this does not mean to be a good person, but to say that I am your father and from that generation, you'd better be more honest.

Jiang Changtian nodded obediently.

Not good at words.

It looks like a good-looking straw bag.

He was thinking that when Lu Xiang called him, he wouldn't just beat him.

Sure enough, when Prime Minister Lu finally appointed him, when he saw the official position, he understood that it was still useful to follow his in-laws to see the emperor yesterday.

"Huangmen Shilang, fourth rank, subordinate to Menxia Province, close servant of the emperor, rank six hundred stones."

……

Back home, Mianmian looked at her father's appointment letter curiously.

Dad has been promoted to a higher level now?

"Brother, what kind of official is Huangmen Shilang?" Mianmian asked curiously.

Zi Encyclopedia Congheng explained: "The Huangmen Shilang is a close servant of the emperor. He can enter and exit the forbidden area relatively freely, but he has to come out when it is locked. His main job is to conduct official business between the emperor and the minister. Handle correspondence.”

Jiang Mianmian thought for a moment, did this mean the secretary of the emperor's secretariat? A fourth-grade official should be at least bureau-level or department-level. In the capital, although his level is not very impressive, but being close to the emperor, he should be more powerful.

Dad's salary is 600 shi, which should be an annual salary.

Shi is a unit, which means about 120 kilograms.

The settlement here should be in grain.

Mianmian did the math, for example, using rice, a pound of rice costs about 3 yuan.

3 yuan * 120 kilograms * 600 shi = 216000 yuan.

Dad's annual salary is almost 200,000 yuan.

The monthly salary is almost 18,000 yuan.

With a monthly salary of 18,000 yuan, he is a bureau-level cadre in the capital. It seems that if he doesn't make some extra money, such a big family may not be able to survive.

Raise horses, keep servants, keep guards, keep a house, and exchange favors.

Zi Congheng saw Mianmian counting money with her fingers, looking up at the sky with some speechlessness.

No one really lives on his salary. Salary is usually used when he does something wrong. The emperor said the fine will last for a few years or a few months.

Mianmian returned the letter of appointment to her father and said, "Dad, let's find a way to make some money and don't be corrupt. Your job is very risky. They say that accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. It's quite difficult."

Jiang Changtian looked at the serious look on his little girl's face and couldn't help but smile: "Okay, I'll listen to you. You can think about it at home, what can we do in the capital and how can we make money."
