Seven hundred and five gamblers
For Liu Renliang's request, Suning didn't understand it very much, and asked for an official? This kind of thing is indeed not uncommon in officialdom, generally speaking, people who hold great power or are favored by the emperor will become popular among some people who want to be officials, with rich gifts and beautiful maids to open up joints, and then take up an insignificant but oily official, or hold a position such as a county magistrate, and double the looting of the common people.
Suning thinks he is a high-ranking official, and he is also a close minister of the famous emperor, but what makes Suning very dissatisfied is that no one has come to him to ask for an official so far, which is a very abnormal expression, which means that many people have no confidence in Suning, many people think that Suning is just a flash in the pan when he is twenty years old, and he will soon fall, and he doesn't want to bet on Suning, so no one comes to stammer.
Suning was very unhappy.
But Liu Renliang obviously agreed with Suning by doing this, and planned to bet on Suning and take Suning as his backer.
He's gambling.
I have to say that Suning's political power is not small, but the political strength is very weak, the so-called power is the friends around you who can help you, there are a lot of these friends, but many times, the network is not so easy to use, many people blindly believe in connections, open your mouth I know who closes your mouth who knows me, I think I have a large network, in fact, it is not useful at all, no one will help for any simple feelings, it is not good for yourself, why should you help others tide over the difficulties?
The key is your own strength, your own strength. Naturally there are many friends, the network is naturally wide, I don't have any strength, I only know the fox and the fake tiger, so others know it, usually meet and play haha, once there is something, immediately run away, who cares about you? The so-called network is the refraction of personal strength, and one's own strength is not strong. Connections are virtual. It doesn't work at all.
Which of those big traitors and corrupt officials who were once prosperous, who is not a fox friend and a dog friend who sits in a row, can line up from Beijing to Nanjing, but in the end, it will not fall like the same? Who will save him when he is unlucky? Who did he meet? Does he have the strength himself? Where does his own strength come from? From the emperor's trust? This is the most unreliable! A companion is like a tiger!
Only their own political strength is strong. Someone will help you. And where does your strength come from? It is those who have been blessed and promoted. They are the members of the political power, the people who belong to their own political circle, and they are the most important people. When their strength is strong and their status is high, the political strength of the person at the top will be strong, and there will be a strong political force.
Suning's political strength is not much, and he didn't want to get involved in the government before, so he didn't support many people, and the vertical and horizontal department is his own world, but the entire court is not only one in the vertical and horizontal department, six departments, three provinces, hundreds of thousands of court officials, each of them has their own power and strength, no one will deliberately provoke anyone, but if a certain group provokes anyone, who will be miserable.
Suning can currently be cited as an arm to help the previous first Sanyuan County Commander Wang Yuan, who first mixed in the Ministry of Officials for a period of time, and then was promoted to the Ministry of Civil Affairs as a left waiter, and is the next important candidate for the Ministry of Civil Affairs; Another Zhou Wen Zhou Zhiwang, the term of office of the Yongzhou Assassin ended, and he entered the capital to serve as the head of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and the candidate for the third Yongzhou Assassin has been determined, which is the current Sanyuan County Commander Xu Zhi.
There is no way, the economy is developing too well, the tax is the highest, and they are all considered to be people who can engage in the economy, and the main political aspect is the economic aspect, so the Ministry of Civil Affairs, which is in charge of the world's finances and civil affairs, has become their territory.
Suning's political strength is also these three people plus the power in the vertical and horizontal departments, the power seems to be very large, but it is definitely not huge enough to withstand any wind and rain, no one comes to talk to himself, which means that someone must secretly release the wind to deal with him, the origin is not small, Suning bets that there must be many people waiting to see their jokes now, waiting to see how they rise like rockets, and fall like meteors.
Uncle's ......
Liu Renliang should have also made a lot of thoughts, made far-reaching deductions, and finally decided to bet on himself, seeking political support, and there will inevitably be a good reward, Suning felt a little comfortable, this is the first time someone has asked for an official from himself, Wang Yuan before, that is still his own conscious support, Liu Renliang is the first person to show that he wants to be a protΓ©gΓ©......
Why, exactly, did he do this? What position does he really want to get? Don't you know that there is a position in the vertical and horizontal department that is reserved for him from the fourth grade? What is he going to do?
"When you say this, Ben Hou can't understand it all at once, what do you mean? Why do you ask Ben Hou for an official? You should know your appointment, right? High-ranking officials in the vertical and horizontal departments, from the fourth grade, you are only in your thirties, such a high position is not easy to get, only in the vertical and horizontal departments can you get such a position, what kind of official do you want to be? Need me to ask for it? Suning directly made his words clear.
Liu Renliang took a deep breath and said, "The official position that the lower officials want to invite the Hou Ye to come forward is the history of Haizhou Thorn!" β
Suning was stunned, the history of Haizhou? Liu Renliang wants to do the history of Haizhou thorns? In the newly established state, the main official candidates have not been considered well, mainly because the pioneering first position must be very difficult, no one wants to go to the sea to accept the test of being surrounded by the sea and not seeing the land, it is so annoying that Li Er's majesty is at a loss for the candidate, who knows that Liu Renliang actually volunteered to take this position?
"You mean Haizhou, which is made up of the Ryukyu Islands and the Ojima of Liuqiu? You already know? Suning asked, "You should know what the first Haizhou Assassin is going to do, right?" Although you have experience in serving in the local government, it is not easy to serve as the assassin of a state, and Haizhou is not a prosperous state, you can rule by doing nothing, Haizhou is a wild land that you need to work hard to build! β
Liu Renliang nodded: "It is precisely because of this that Xia Guan insisted on hoping to go to Haizhou to serve as the assassin of the history, and did not hide from the Hou Ye that Xia Guan had gained a lot during this voyage. Hou Ye instructed the lower officials to record what they saw, heard, thought and thought, and the lower officials did as they were, and when they were in distress on the island, the lower officials also ate whales. β
Suning was drinking tea, and as soon as he heard this, he squirted out a sip of tea, and looked at Liu Renliang with a godly look: "Is it the whale I told you about that same as the warship?" β
Liu Renliang was very surprised by Suning's actions: "Exactly, the thing that Hou Ye said can be eaten, there was a shortage of food at that time, everyone was hungry, and some people said that it was the mount of the Sea Dragon King." and give him tribute or something. Xia Guan felt that even the Sea Dragon King's mount would eat it, who made the Sea Dragon King toss me and wait? So in a fit of rage, the lower official took the big guy to eat the whale, threw the fish bone into the sea and returned it to the Sea Dragon King, suing him for insulting us. So I'll be safe and sound. β
The corners of Suning's mouth twitched a little. Obviously, it is a little difficult to digest Liu Renliang's move. It took a while to come to his senses: "Is it delicious?" β
Liu Renliang replied with an aftertaste expression: "It's not very delicious to eat raw, but it's really delicious after it's cooked, and it's not the same as ordinary fish." It still feels a little aftertaste. β
Suning admires Liu Renliang a little bit again, don't be too ruthless, eat it raw, he thinks this thing is sashimi! But probably thanks to him, that group of people got a glimmer of life, probably a full meal, at this time the whale meat is not polluted by heavy metals, and it should not be sick, but this guy can be regarded as a character who can compete with Bei Ye, the mount of the Sea Dragon King in the eyes of people in this era was eaten because he was hungry......
Cowman, for that reason, I like you very much!
Suning put down the teacup and looked at Liu Renliang with a smile: "It's really worthy of the person I chose, even the mount of the Sea Dragon King is in your stomach, it seems that you are obsessed with those sea foods?" Just want to live on those islands and be an official? β
Liu Renliang nodded, and shook his head again: "Liking the sea is one of them, and the other point is that through this voyage, Xia Guan realized that his past understanding had a lot of shortcomings, compared with the sea, it is simply a baby at the bottom of the well, there are too many things in the sea that we don't know, if those things can be eaten, the food in the sea can enrich the recipes of the coastal people, so even if they encounter a year of famine, they will not starve to death, this is a great credit."
And if the voyage can be successful, it is really a great thing for the Tang Dynasty, Xia Guan also heard that the Guangzhou fleet won a big victory, and the spices obtained were piled up, many people returned to the Tang Dynasty and became rich overnight, and the three kings made a fortune, envying many people, there are many people in Chang'an City who are ready to go, it seems that they are planning to go to Guangzhou to try their luck, and they also want to make a fortune, since the Hou Ye said that the Yangzhou route is also a good route, but the requirements are too high, so the lower officials think that if they succeed in opening up this route, For Datang, there are only benefits. β
Suning smiled and said: "What you get in Guangzhou is spices, and on the land on the other side, what you get is real gold and silver, that's really wood for gold and silver, alas, it's a pity, it's too far, your voyage this time, according to my estimates, that is, half the journey, four months, half the journey, back and forth, even if you don't encounter a storm at sea, it will take sixteen months, more than a year!"
It takes too long, the danger is too great, the sea water is bitter, and it can corrode the ship, so if the quality of the ship is not up to par, there is no way to support the land on the other side, the ship will sink, and there is no way to get the ship back, unless a base belonging to Datang is also set up there, logging and shipbuilding, and then coming back, it will take more time, and it will take two years to come back and forth! How many years or two are there in a person's life! β
Liu Renliang swallowed his saliva: "Then how to deal with it?" β
Suning said: "Waiting for the group of Mo boys in the Ministry of Industry, see what they can come up with, now the two problems that must be solved are to improve the speed of the ship and the quality of the ship, but it is definitely not easy, it is estimated that the next Yangzhou voyage, in a few years, the speed of the ship is too slow, the quality of the ship is not up to standard, rashly going to sea, it is a dead end, this time luck, people are alive, next time, hehe, you have also seen the horror of the storm at sea, right?" β
Liu Renliang nodded: "I still think about it, and I am still afraid." β
Suning smiled and said: "Okay, this time you can be regarded as a great achievement, and you have successfully led those people to spend two months on the desert island, so that they can be successfully rescued, Your Majesty, if you ask to become the assassin of Haizhou, it should not be a problem, the problem is that you have the confidence to establish Haizhou, and where does your confidence come from, you did not bribe Ben Hou, then if you want Ben Hou to help you speak, you have to show practical skills!"
If Ben Hou wants to recommend you, in case you do something illegal or wrong, affecting the overall situation, then Ben Hou will also bear the corresponding responsibility, those who want to put Ben Hou to death will be very happy, I believe, you can also understand Ben Hou's distress.
