The little prince also understood very well, he already knew the fact that these elders were almost omnipotent, and as long as they were still on this "earth", then it would be impossible for them to escape the arrest of these elders.

Game theory tells us that a person's strategic choice is often not what he hopes and likes the most, but what he can accept within his ability, after all, everyone wants to dream of marrying a daughter-in-law, but if you really do it, the expensive bride price is definitely not acceptable to ordinary people.

There is nothing to go through the motions, at least in Zhu Cihong's opinion, this is not as lively as the usual class, no matter who it is, after more than a dozen times such an interview, he will be very tired, in all fairness, these people can't help him except crying and mourning.

Of course, as the first envoy of Fanbang to come to the imperial capital to worship, he still received a lot of attention and attention from Zhu Cihong, and that Pu Dehuan also made a lot of moves, after thinking about it, he blamed the main responsibility for his "fall" on the presbyterian council, if it wasn't for you to make so many strange and ingenious bad things, how could you be like this?

He looked left and right, and there was no one else, but only a person like Wu Meicun, a genius from Jiangnan, who was accompanying him, so he asked in a low voice: "The prince has been in the imperial capital for many days, and he seems to be healthy, I don't know how he will behave in the future, but do you need a small country to serve?" ”

Zhu Cihong glanced at him quietly, and his slightly moved heart just lifted it and put it down, at this moment, what is the use of saying this?

He shook his head and said, "The emperor is going to be an immortal, I have nothing else to think about in my heart, I just hope that my brothers and sisters will accompany me, and my wife will live a peaceful life." ”

Pu Dehuan was disappointed for a while, the kingly bearing in his mind should not be such a child with a dead heart, but no matter how much he said, he was looking for death, so he said: "Congratulations to several princes...... Many happy returns. ”

He thought that the original Chitose Chitose was for the knights, and now the Council of Elders obviously wants to play a republic, to be clear, what to offer the prince of the previous dynasty as one, but not to give real power, to save his life, and correspondingly, the legitimacy of this regime is no longer the previous thousands of years, the monarchy is granted by heaven, the official power is granted by the monarch, and the life of the eternal line, the so-called republic, how many years can it be, I really don't know how long it can last.

"Well, the ambassador bothered...... Zhu Cihong thought about it, in the end, his family and the country in front of him were also hundreds of years of vassal subordination, and he looked like he was intimate, and said: "Although the knowledge taught by the elders is not the way of Confucius and Mencius, it is also the study of governing the world, you can learn a little more." ”

If Park Dehuan doesn't listen to this, he will be curious, what will the elders teach, although what Zhu Cihong said now is a good thing, but although it is not the way of Confucius and Mencius, he still thinks that he is slapping him in the face, after all, Park Dehuan has been talking about the way of Confucius and Mencius these days, he is now an envoy carrying the national mission, that is to say, it represents the face of the country, and now, the national face of the Korean country has long been lost between fat and laughter, and the rest is some ...... It's just cheeky.

Not to mention anything else, Pu Dehuan suddenly secretly suspected, I had heard before that these elders were almost omniscient figures, and all the big and small things in the imperial capital could not be hidden from them, could it be that his own depravity was all because of these people, secretly seducing himself?

That's right, that's right.

For the incompetent, it is very easy to blame all their faults on others, since this is the case, then it is not pleasing to the eye, the movies are all glamorous, the golden bottle and the movie are all terrible things like hell, the streets are full of pedestrians, no matter who they are, either they are financial workers who don't know how to be humble, or they are officials who think about Enke's obscurity, in short, this emperor has become a city of sin in the eyes of Park Dehuan.

As long as people fall into this kind of thinking, they will no longer have any other thoughts, and at the same time, the work that should be done has been completed, and it is naturally time to go home.

Of course, there must also be an application receipt, which means that I was ordered to come to the Celestial Empire on an errand, and now that the matter is done, it is time to go back.

This, of course, will take time.

In fact, for the Presbyterian Church, North Korea is not even a secondary focus, their vision has long been not limited to the Celestial Empire itself, not even a small nest in Northeast Asia, but gradually swept their eyes to the European colonists who have extended their hands to Southeast Asia, after all, the people who can really grab food with them are these people, as the European war is nearing the end, and the dominance of the European Big 6 has gradually lost, more and more European civilians, scraping together some money, and even pawning themselves and turning into "white slaves", Ran to the new big 6 mixed days.

The villain who grabs food is the most annoying, so, in fact, Park Dehuan is completely self-inflicted and victimic.

Park Dehuan, who has not been out for many days, thinks about it and still remembers that he still has some personal matters on this trip, at least he has to buy some things, and go back to serve his elders, but unfortunately a few days ago, they were all stuffed into the woman's bed, no, it also made this ambassador extremely nervous.

However, the old servant, who was still wealthy, gradually appeared under the cold watch, and Park Dehuan's depression and happiness couldn't help but move in his heart, smiled secretly, and suddenly leaned over and said, "Congratulations, my lord." ”

"Where does the joy come from?"

Park Dehuan also knows that the old man in front of him can't afford to offend, although his identity is a commoner and a servant, but he is also a servant of a big man, and the dog of a nobleman is nobler than an ordinary person, this is not a new word.

The old servant said: "Thanks to the blessing of the lord, I waited for the envoy fee in the imperial capital is not high, the original funds are dotted everywhere, now, the lords of the imperial capital are unwilling to accept money, and the treatment is good, now rough calculation, leaving a little return trip of the envoy fee, and the balance of five hundred taels of silver, have been exchanged for the republican treasure of the Celestial Empire, and the right to make the fee, it is better to dedicate all of them to the adult." ”

Park Dehuan was taken aback, he knew how much money his mission had, indeed, many of the originally expected expenses, such as paying for officials, paying for consumption, etc., did not have to be spent, but he was really overjoyed to save such a large amount of funds, but he didn't dare to take this for himself, so he looked at the old servant and said: "How good is this, this is the balance from top to bottom, so you should keep it and report it and hand it in." ”

"Don't, don't," said the old servant, suddenly frightened, "My lord, this money can't be paid." ”

Park Dehuan wondered: "Why is this? ”

The old servant said, "If I wait to bring this money back to Pyongyang, not only will the adults not be satisfied, but even the subordinates who do the work will be extremely sad, which is not conducive to the prestige of the adults." ”

"Oh?"

The old servant continued to say bitterly: "Don't you know, every time you get money from the household, there are several lawsuits to fight, and the household wants to give less, so we have to ask for more silver, thinking that it is necessary from time to time, if there is any unexpected need, it is also an emergency, and the cost of each time can naturally be calculated according to the last time." ”

"I see, isn't this ......"

The old servant said: "This time, thanks to the blessing of the lord, the official errand in the imperial capital can be called unquite, and the wind is bright, but next time, if they change their temperament next time, it will be a pit to kill me." ”

Pu Dehuan also seems to understand something, although he is not in power, he also knows a little, the method of relying on the mountains to eat the mountains and relying on the water to draft the water, public funds have always been up and down, so he said: "In this case, I take these too much." ”

The old servant said, "Then the lord said how much he wanted, so I will take it." ”

This is the first time that Park Dehuan has bargained in the actual numbers, and he is also proficient, so he said: "I'll take it...... Half should be more than that, you say no. ”

The old servant suddenly smiled and said, "Take four hundred taels, go back to Pyongyang for protection, report one fifty taels, and the rest of the fifty taels. ”

These words, converted into adult words, are, you take 400 taels to spend, the remaining 100 taels, I take 50 taels to eat and drink with the others, and 50 taels to pay the account, and go back to look beautiful, isn't it beautiful?

"It's good, it's good."

At the very least, the deficit that I went to the Qinglou before can be regarded as making up for it, Park Dehuan thought, I finally have the money to buy some things in the imperial capital, and I can be regarded as going back to pay the errand.

Of course he didn't know that the old servant was secretly scolding, stupid hat.

The old servants and the spies sent by the Joseon in the imperial capital have already divided the real mission expenses between one and two, and even the ginseng that originally went to bribe the officials of the Celestial Empire, there is not a single gold or silver left, all of them are added to five, leaving only some empty words, saying that it is related to this matter on the surface of the official position, but in fact it has no influence on the government and politics, Niu Jinxing, Li Yan and others, and other people, naturally those who know and see have a share, but they still took out a little bit and spent it on Park Dehuan, the purpose of course was not to give hush money, but to buy him as a substitute for the dead ghost, Anyway, there is no proof of the accounts, and when the time comes, it will all be poured on this Ambassador Park.

How did Pu Dehuan know that the old servant in front of him had such a calculation, so he immediately ran out in a hurry, looking at the direction of the "Eight Hutongs", and he didn't dare to go again, but went to a few bustling streets, bought newly produced nail clippers, small mirrors, until finally, he saw a shop with endless crowds of people, hanging "Seasonal new books, limited printing, rush to buy first", and naturally walked over.

He entered the door, there were a lot of people coming and going, and immediately there was a little second who dressed up in spirit, and immediately came to greet the guests, and shouted in that very high voice: "Come on, guest officer, you are here to buy the teaching and auxiliary atlas produced by us. ”

He pointed to the most superficial, those teaching books, that is, the latest imperial examination reform of the Celestial Empire, this is to give half a year of propaganda and understanding time, although there are many self-proclaimed geniuses of rotten Confucianism, beating and scolding If this subject is still tested for Baguwen, he will definitely be able to go to high school, but he still has to honestly buy books and exams by himself, of course, this is almost not the topics that Wu Ming originally divided, but the people of this era, according to the shape given by those example questions, figure it out by themselves, don't you say, I can't do anything else, Engaging in the civil service examination economy is a stuff one, and they really made some tricks, at least in Wu Ming's opinion, it is more in line with the atmosphere of the Ming Dynasty.

This matter, Park Dehuan naturally already knew, as a Confucian student, although he was not qualified to participate in the imperial examination of the North Koreans, but in this era, basically the North Koreans looked at China, just like in the early 21st century, South Koreans and people in Taiwan Province looked at the United StatesAlmost in the fastest time, it spread from the hands of smugglers in Shandong to North Korea and to Pyongyang, and for a time, the sensation and repercussions caused were huge.

In Pu Dehuan's view, the argument part of the new imperial examination also has a bit of a point, just like the previous policy theory, it is about the principle of governing the country, giving a specific matter, and then analyzing it to see if there is something to say, this point is the same as ancient and modern, but the common sense example questions, there are many unnecessary ones, and there are not too many outline things on it, but they are all just to learn knowledge, and many are four choice questions, complete a hundred questions within an hour, and many things, It's not like what people in office need to know, and for a while, it is natural to criticize a lot.

This is also quite normal.

History is like this, although the advanced can replace the backward, but that is also a gradual process, for example, electronic money to replace paper money, is repeated, and mixed, in this process, the bank teller this position is canceled, counting technology is canceled, people can no longer see, how many people in a row of money competition, eliminated a large number of "money counting masters".

Park Dehuan said slowly: "No, there are at home, I'll take a look at it at will." ”

"Then you are free, there are all kinds of new books in the back, new sayings of the world, the latest episode of Dream of Red Mansions, and so on."

"Well said, well said."

Park Dehuan didn't have much experience in dealing with the second child, so he naturally took a while and began to walk inside.

The layout of this bookstore is very simple, naturally it is to visit the books by category, as soon as you enter the door, there are a large number of "teaching books", in fact, there is no need for Wu Ming to urge, the example booklet they have researched is directly ordered to be printed by the enthusiastic Daming booksellers, but the business is also very good.
