Chapter 769: Da Lang, the Imperial Court has a task for you
The big guy who eats and calls the leader of the Beast Extension Insect Year Alliance gives me a reward of 100 yuan a day, which makes me excited and ashamed, and the conscious update must be as stable and lasting as the big guy.
………
At any time, serving the imperial court and making a fortune should not be three-dimensional, but complement each other and are indispensable. In many cases, we must be soberly aware that only when personal interests are highly consistent with the interests of the imperial court can the selfless dedication of the people be stimulated.
Wei Gonggong has a good ideological and moral character, and he also knows how to make good use of people, and he is not suspicious of employing people, so he decided to give Tao and Zhang a chance to "change their hearts and faces" and serve the imperial court.
Under normal circumstances, he would first brew a little, and then make a bitter and impassioned mobilization speech, so that the person concerned would be ashamed of his past like an initiation, so as to firmly serve the country and make selfless dedication to the Ming Dynasty, until the horse leather shroud, people and birds are dead.
However, this is obviously not in line with the spirit of seeking truth from facts, which my father-in-law has always emphasized.
There should be different ways of dealing with different groups of people, and there should be no dogma.
If he speaks of human feelings, we will talk to him about the law; He who speaks of law, we have to talk to him about politics; When it comes to politics, we must be reasonable. To be reasonable, we have to compare with him whose fist is bigger. If the fists can't compare to others, then let's sit down and talk.
Above, commonly known as watching people cook.
Gonggong Wei, who has become a senior reserve civil servant in the Ming Dynasty, looked at Tao and Zhang happily, clapped his hands with high fives, and then two plates of neatly stacked silver ingots were placed in front of Tao and the two.
The plate is quite large, and the silver ingots are not small, looking at least a hundred taels or more.
As the chief representative of the inner court of the Ming Empire, and the youngest and most courageous eunuch, the extremely smart business acumen is the indispensable hardware for Wei Gonggong to move towards the peak of life.
At the moment, hardware is pushing the father-in-law to practice the most basic business principle - if you want a big return, you have to pay a little.
More than two hundred taels, a lot, at least equivalent to a year's salary of the brothers.
"This..."
Tao Jie and Zhang An were obviously confused by these two plates of silver ingots, they didn't think that they could easily take these two plates of silver ingots for themselves just by talking about some things at sea.
The two of them looked at each other, and there was confusion in their eyes.
"This silver, one plate for each of you, no one is much, no one is not less, our family will reward you."
Father-in-law Wei looked at the two of them kindly, "But there is a small matter here in our house that needs a favor from the two of you, but I don't know if you two are willing to help us?" ”
Speaking of this, the father-in-law paused casually, and said casually, "Our family sees that the two of you are good, and it just so happens that our family is now doing the errand of this admiral and maritime eunuch, and there is a shortage of manpower, if you two do it for our family, our family can give you a chance to serve the court." ”
"Huh?!"
As Gonggong Wei guessed, as soon as they heard that they could have the opportunity to serve the imperial court, Tao and Zhang were almost unanimously excited.
Father-in-law Wei fully understands them, these years, serving the imperial court, that is a good thing that many people have dreamed of all their lives!
Of course, special work is not included, such as Grandpa Wei.
The subtext of serving the court is that our family can let you be officials.
Tao Jie and Zhang An are really excited, you must know that it is precisely because they have learned nothing that they have to make a living by working as translators for foreigners in Macau. Income is okay, but it is often despised. If it weren't for the lack of a better choice, the two of them would not be the "dogs" of foreigners.
Now, Gonggong Wei, who saved their lives, said that he would give them a chance to serve the court, how could this not make them ecstatic.
"But I don't know what my father-in-law wants me to do for the court?"
Zhang An was very excited, and he was also worried in his heart, there would be no pie in the sky, this father-in-law Wei gave money and officials, would it be something to do for the two of them.
In that case, the two of them will stay away.
Tao Jie also thought the same way, he didn't have the guts to do such a thing as pinning his head to the waistband of his trousers.
"It's nothing, it's just that our family wants to recruit that Yan Siqi, but we can't take the time to go to Japan in person, and we don't have maritime talents under our hands, so I want the two of you to find that Yan Siqi for our family. Don't worry, our family's words count, if you two can successfully recruit An Na Yan Siqi for us, our family will recommend you two to the emperor, um..."
What kind of official do you recommend?
Gonggong Wei is thinking about this problem, if the official is too high, firstly, he may not be able to do it, and secondly, these two guys may not believe it.
There were doubts in his heart, how could he still expect the two of them to do their best.
Of course, it is not good to give too low, there is still a certain risk in going to Japan to find Yan Siqi, and it is difficult to mobilize the enthusiasm of the two if the official position is low.
Positivity is always one of the key factors that determine the success or failure of things.
After thinking about it, his father-in-law made a decision, as long as this Tao and Zhang could recruit Yan Siqi for him, his father-in-law Wei would give the emperor an inscription to ensure that the two of them served as eight-rank officials in the maritime yamen.
It's a civil official!
"How, to go or not to go? Our family has never been difficult, if you two are willing to go, our family is happy. If you don't want to go, we don't blame you, and you take the money. Hehe, as the old saying goes, buying and selling is not lovely, this time it doesn't work, there is a next time, it doesn't matter..."
In the end, he has been in the system for a long time, and Father-in-law Wei is now quite a high-ranking person, and he speaks in a set of ways, and he is no longer the chick who just arrived in Beijing and couldn't wait to get five copper plates, just to prevent his sister from waiting for a long time in the cold wind.
After about ten breaths of silence, Zhang An turned his heart sideways, and was the first to express his willingness to go to Japan to recruit An Yan Siqi for his father-in-law.
Seeing this, Tao Jie thought that although Yan Siqi was a big man at sea and killed people like hemp, the two of them went to bring good things to Yan Siqi, and there would definitely be no trouble, so he also expressed his willingness to go.
After all, if you miss this village, there will be no such shop, although the two of them are students, but the road to the imperial examination has been broken, and it is impossible to have the opportunity to become an official in this life.
Although the eight-rank official is low, he is also an official who has entered the stream, not an official, seeing that this Wei Gonggong has a large number of attachés at a young age, he must be extremely powerful in the palace, and he will be promoted as an official in the future, and he may not be able to glorify his ancestors.
Thinking about it this way, what is there to hesitate about.
It's just that these two people put forward two things, one is that they have to quit their jobs with their employers first, and the other is that they are worried that they are weak and may be at risk after going to sea.
The first thing is a trivial matter, Father-in-law Wei returned the foreign businessman's money for the two of them, and the second thing must be treated carefully.
The two of them also said that the sea is vast, and Japan is not familiar with life, so they are not afraid of 10,000, just in case, for the sake of safety, they have to send someone to escort them.
"We will deal with this matter, you two can go with confidence."
After speaking, Gonggong Wei instructed Zheng Duo to take the official uniform and official seal brought by Wang Tiqian, and specified that Zheng Duo should take the guerrillas.
After Zheng Duo took the things, his father-in-law brought a blank official certificate (letter of appointment) and wrote it to Yan Siliu for his appointment.
Tao Jie took a fixed look and found that what Wei Gonggong wrote was an edict to Yan as a guerrilla general of the Five Tigers.
This official position was the first position that Zheng Zhilong received from the Ming Dynasty.
Gonggong Wei has now given it to Yan Siqi.
After writing the letter of appointment, Gonggong Wei asked Tao Jie and Zhang An to go down to rest first, and then asked Zheng Duo to call Xiao Tian in.
"Father-in-law, you called me?"
Xiao Tian had already fallen asleep, and he would be a little confused, not knowing what the angel father-in-law told him to do in the middle of the night.
The father-in-law looked at Xiao Tian who was sleepy-eyed, his expression gradually froze, and he stepped forward slowly, and a hand gently fell on Xiao Tian's shoulder.
"Da Lang, the court has an important task entrusted to you!"
