Douluo: My dear grandson, come quickly, Grandpa, I am Titled Douluo

Chapter 33 Hope
"What does the Pope mean?"

Ye Tian raised his head and asked:
"Since the Pope has given you these two positions, grandpa, naturally he is inclined."

Ye Jianguo stroked his beard and recalled:
"The financial pressure of Wuhundian has been increasing in recent years."

"All these pressures fall on His Majesty the Pope alone. She naturally hopes to have someone who can benefit from it to share the pressure of financial work."

"However, His Majesty also intends to rectify the administration of officials and take back the power to appoint officials from the Elder Hall."

"That's why I asked the old man to choose these two positions."

"According to His Majesty's intention at that time, the old man feels that I have more intentions to take over the financial work."

Ye Tian nodded in agreement:

"The Wuhundian's finances are indeed beyond their means, otherwise they wouldn't have taken action against the Four Kingdoms."

"So, His Majesty the Pope also wants you to shoulder the heavy burden, Grandpa."

"That's right." Ye Jianguo nodded: "That's what His Majesty meant at the time."

"But I think, Grandpa, you should still be responsible for the appointment of officials."

"Xiaotian, do you think this old man should make more friends with officials?" Ye Jianguo pondered, but nodded solemnly:
"One or two people really can't do big things."

"No." Ye Tian shook his head: "The Wuhun Hall is so huge, Grandpa, if you make friends with a few or even dozens of officials, it will not be of much use."

"Grandpa, you might as well imagine that in ancient dynasties, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, who was responsible for appointing officials, appointed more than a thousand officials every year."

"How many of them are, what does the Minister of the Ministry of Officials mean?"

"No, it's all the meaning of the emperor."

"To put it bluntly, the Ministry of Officials has no power to appoint officials at all."

"After hearing what you said, Xiaotian, the old man feels that there is nothing good about the official department. Why, Xiaotian, do you still let the old man choose this?"

Ye Jianguo couldn't help but fell into deep thought, and tentatively asked:
"Could it be that the job of the Minister of Officials is easy. After observing for a period of time, His Majesty the Pope may entrust the financial work to the old man?"

"Grandpa, you are wrong, Bibi Dong will not give you such great power."

Ye Tian finished the last bit of rice in the bowl, and said with a babble:

"The greatest power of the Ministry of Officials lies not in the appointment, but in the assessment and formulation of rules."

"Grandpa doesn't know something. In ancient times, many ancient officials were dismissed from their posts in the Jingchao."

Beijing inspection is an annual inspection of officials in Beijing by the Ministry of Officials.

Once the person under investigation is found to have stains on his body, even if he suspects stains, he will be forced to apply for resignation from his official position.

"It's not up to you, grandpa, to appoint officials, but if an official makes a mistake, it's just a matter of your words, grandpa, to remove him from his position."

"Even the pope, or the priest, has nothing to say."

"Grandpa, you can also formulate stricter assessment rules."

"Those who can stay under such strict assessment are the ones who conform to this set of rules, and they are exactly the ones we need."

"So, the power of officials to appoint this is relatively unimportant."

"The old man didn't think of this." Ye Jianguo stroked his beard and smiled:

"The old man will reply to His Majesty the Pope tomorrow."

"The key to financial work lies in the administration of officials! I am willing to be the elder of the officials!"

"Then I will congratulate Grandpa in advance."

Ye Tian smiled slightly.

bookstore.

Holding a feather duster, the boss looked at the self-published "Monthly Tales" on the bookshelf in front of him, and shook his head.

After publication, it was put on display for two days.

There are many people passing by and stopping to check.

Those who bought it were those regular customers.

"A novel worldview is no match for a good story."

The boss sighed.

Daqin's world view is very innovative.

But Chen Sheng's story is too plain.

Most importantly, Chen Sheng, the protagonist in the book, died in the end.

And died of arrogance.

The taboo of writing a book is all committed by the author.

This kind of article is too peaceful and too boring.

It's no wonder it's hot.

The boss felt that this time he was going to lose money.

"Boss, do you have any good books here recently?"

At this time.

A teenager with facial paralysis came over.

When the boss sees the customer, he happily recommends:

"This is the "Monthly Strange Story" published by Xiaodian once a month. You might as well take a look, young master."

The boy with facial paralysis picked it up, flipped through a few pages, put the book down, and shook his head:
"What's there to see in a world that doesn't even have soul masters?" The boss quickly laughed along with him: "The store has a lot of books, and there are other books..."

"Forget it, I want this one."

The boy with facial paralysis randomly picked a book with illustrations, paid the money, and left the bookstore.

"Ugh."

After seeing off the small customers, the boss sighed softly.

Put away the basic Strange Story of the Month on the bestseller shelf, and prepare to put some other books.

At this moment, the apprentice approached the hall, sweating profusely:

"Boss, there are books in several branches in our country, and the sales are crazy."

"The shopkeepers of all the branches have sent people to pick up the books."

"There is finally a best-seller coming out, which one is it? We need to print it as soon as possible, and we can't let other bookstores take the lead."

The boss felt a sense of relief.

It's time for him to make money!

The apprentice wiped off his sweat, and then he had a chance to catch his breath and said, "It's the monthly strange talk of this issue!"

"What?!" The boss looked in disbelief: "Are you sure, you heard it right?"

"Sure! Those who come to pull books from each branch will rest in the backyard. If you don't believe me, boss, you can ask yourself!"

Hear this.

The boss believed it now.

"Come on, hurry up and print the book, this is an exclusive business!"

The boss said loudly.

……

"Great, this book is really good!"

"Are princes, generals and ministers all born!"

Wuhun City and the countryside.

village.

Several field boys were carrying hoes and surrounded a boy in civilian clothes.

Amazed again and again.

"Great Chu will prosper, and Chen Sheng will be king!"

"It would be great if there were no soul masters and nobles!"

"They don't work."

"Yes, we are the ones who do the work!"

Several children in their teens were discussing with each other.

In the middle, the boy in civilian clothes touched the book and sighed:
"It's a pity that I don't know how to read. What I said just now was all said by Mr. Shu, and I forgot it along the way."

"Otherwise, the speech was more exciting just now."

……

Another village.

Li Er, who is a working student of a soul master, is also holding a copy of "Monthly Strange Talk".

As a soul master who is about to graduate from the junior academy, Li Er already has a soul ring.

Regrettably, his innate soul power was too low, and he failed in the examination to enter the Advanced Soul Master Academy.

The next step is probably to find a job.

But even if he doesn't work, Li Er can still receive a gold soul coin in Wuhun Hall every month.

A golden soul coin is enough for Li Er to live a good life.

Whenever Li Er is on vacation, he returns to this dilapidated, primitive village.

I saw busy figures in the fields.

Li Er has an indescribable loneliness.

I always feel that there is something missing in this village.

I am also missing something.

At first, he thought it was because he didn't read enough.

So Li Er read books like crazy.

But nothing was gained.

Didn't find an answer either.

Today however.

When Li Er read this book, he suddenly had a sense of enlightenment.

"The princes and generals have kindness! The princes and generals have kindness!"

"The status of this world should not be fixed."

"What I lack is hope!"
