My wife is number one in the world

Chapter 4255 Cannot Be Changed
Unfortunately, not everyone could tell that Young Master Liu was joking.

Take, for example, that girl Kriiko.

As soon as Liu Mingzhi finished his teasing remark, which was full of laughter, Lei Jun, the person who was being teased by Young Master Liu, had no chance to say anything, but Kerry was the first to get anxious.

Having heard Young Master Liu address Lei Jun as "Brother Lei" earlier, Kleeke now knows that Lei Jun's surname is Lei.

Kriyko glanced at Lei Jun, whose face looked slightly embarrassed, and then at Liu Dashao, whose face was full of smiles. Her beautiful face instantly turned awkward as she raised her long, slender arms and waved vigorously at Liu Dashao and Lei Jun.

"Uncle Liu, that's not how it is, that's not how it is. Uncle Lei didn't try to be nice to you.

I can't remember who Uncle Lei is, mainly because I'm too slow-witted. This has nothing to do with my father, mother, brothers, and sisters-in-law.

If my father and the others were here, they would definitely recognize Uncle Lei.

Especially my daughter's father; he would very likely recognize Uncle Lei the moment he saw you, Uncle Liu, and this Uncle Lei.

When Kriyko finished speaking in a slightly hesitant, coquettish voice, she quickly gave a slight bow to Young Master Liu and Lei Jun again.

"Uncle Liu, Uncle Lei, in our family, I am the dumbest of all."

Because I am too slow-witted, my father and mother often scold me.

Unfortunately, my brain is just like this from birth. No matter how much my father and mother scold me, I just don't improve at all.

Therefore, if I have been impolite in any way, I hope Uncle Liu and Uncle Lei will not take offense.

After listening to Kliyko's somewhat flustered and apologetic explanation, Liu Mingzhi smiled and raised an eyebrow, turning slightly to look at Lei Jun standing beside him.

"Brother Lei, in your opinion, is Yi Ke stupid?"

Upon hearing this, Lei Jun smiled faintly, smacked his lips twice, and then turned to meet the gaze of Young Master Liu, who was looking at him with a smile.

"Brother Liu, in my opinion, he is not only not stupid at all, but quite clever!"

Upon hearing Lei Jun's slightly amused reply, Liu Mingzhi chuckled and nodded gently.

"Hahaha, yes, very clever!"

If even Yike is clumsy in dealing with people, then there are not many smart people in the world.

Of course, that's not important. What's important is that I guess I'll have to be less of a joker in front of Yike from now on.

Upon hearing what Young Master Liu said, Lei Jun immediately raised his right arm with a smile and waved gently.

“Ah, Brother Liu, I dare to say that you are mistaken.”

The reason Yi Ke misunderstood what you said earlier, Brother Liu, is simply because she's not familiar with the customs and traditions of our Great Dragon Heavenly Dynasty, nor with how friends interact.

As Lei Jun spoke with a light laugh, he immediately turned around and slowly surveyed the overall layout of the shop.

"Brother Liu, I have roughly observed the goods in the shop, and five or six out of ten of them are from our Great Dragon Dynasty."

Brother Krich entrusted such a shop to Ike, which clearly shows that he has high hopes for her.

Given the current overall situation in our Great Dragon Empire, the number of merchant caravans traveling from our Great Dragon Empire to Western countries for business will only increase in the future.

Similarly, the number of caravans traveling from Western countries to do business within our Great Dragon Dynasty will also increase.

The capital of the Abbasid Caliphate is located in the middle of our Celestial Empire and the Western countries. It is one of the main cities where the caravans of our Great Dragon Celestial Empire and the caravans of the Western countries gather closely.

Only by learning more about the customs and traditions of our Great Dragon Heavenly Dynasty, as well as the way people interact, can Yi Ke better receive caravans from our Great Dragon Heavenly Dynasty in the future.

It wasn't just the caravans from our Great Dragon Dynasty; there were also many caravans from various Western countries.

Nowadays, merchants from Western countries consider it an honor to personally travel to our Great Dragon Heavenly Dynasty to do business, or to directly trade goods with our Great Dragon Heavenly Dynasty's caravans.

When the time comes, the merchant caravans from our Great Dragon Heavenly Dynasty will be even more willing to do business with Yi Ke's or Brother Krich's shops, seeing how well Yi Ke understands the customs and lifestyle of our Great Dragon Heavenly Dynasty.

The same applies to the numerous caravans from Western countries.

When the heads or commanders of the various merchant caravans in the Western countries saw that Yi Ke was so knowledgeable about the customs and culture of our Great Dragon Heavenly Dynasty and frequently traded goods with caravans from our Great Dragon Heavenly Dynasty, they would surely understand, unless they were fools, that Yi Ke controlled a very important source of goods.

In that case, it will be difficult for Yike's business not to be packed with customers!

As Lei Jun was speaking earnestly and eloquently, he suddenly turned around with a light laugh and glanced at Kriyko, who was now looking at him with excitement and astonishment.

"Hahaha, haha~ hahahaha."

"Of course, the premise is that Yi Ke must have a good understanding of the customs and culture of our Great Dragon Dynasty, as well as the situation in all aspects."

Otherwise, everything is illusory.

That's why we brothers should still make a lot of jokes in front of Yike!
As the sage said, no one is born with knowledge; who can be without doubts?

Only by gaining a little understanding and becoming familiar with each other can we take the next step!

"Brother Liu, the more we brothers try to please Yi Ke and the more we try to save face for her, the less likely she will ever advance further."

After listening to Lei Jun's long, eloquent, and well-reasoned explanation, a barely perceptible look of surprise flashed across Liu Mingzhi's eyes.

it is good!it is good!it is good!
That's so well said, it's absolutely impeccable.

At this moment, Liu Mingzhi had to admit that Lei Jun's remarks were too perfect, so perfect that even he couldn't find a single flaw in them.

Lei Jun's character, abilities, knowledge, and vision are worthy of his background as a scion of a wealthy family!
It was at this very moment that Young Master Liu truly experienced some of the drawbacks of the imperial examination system.

In fact, he had known about some of the drawbacks of the imperial examination system for more than a decade.

Unfortunately, even now that he is the ruler of the Great Dragon Dynasty, there are still many things that he cannot easily change. As the saying goes, "Pulling one hair affects the whole body."

Changing some of the existing drawbacks is not something that can be done overnight; it can only be done step by step and gradually.
That's what they say, and that's what they think.

However, only Young Master Liu truly understood the real situation, which was that he didn't want to change it arbitrarily.

It wasn't just Young Master Liu who thought this way; emperors throughout history have all thought this way.

When it comes to a person's abilities, knowledge, vision, and most importantly, resources, there is an insurmountable gap between ordinary people and those from humble backgrounds and those from high-ranking officials, prestigious families, and wealthy gentry families.

This invisible and intangible yet real chasm cannot be crossed easily.

While the imperial examination system did have many drawbacks that couldn't be openly discussed, it provided a balance for most people.

As the ruler of a country, what he values ​​most and cares about most is the balance of power.

This balance cannot be broken at will.

Maintaining this balance inevitably means sacrificing a small number of people.

Given this situation, doesn't Young Master Liu want to make any changes?
The answer is, of course, no.

As the ruler of the Great Dragon Dynasty, Liu Mingzhi wanted to change this situation more than anyone else.

However, he knew very well in his heart that this situation could never be changed.

Let alone myself, even if another hundred, several hundred, or even a thousand years pass, no one will be able to change this situation.

As long as there are people in this world, this situation will never change.

why?
It's very simple: everyone has selfish desires and selfish motives.

How can someone be absolutely fair when they have selfish motives and desires?
This applies to the ruler of a country, high-ranking officials and noble families, and even ordinary people of humble status.

It can't be changed, it can't be changed, it will never be changed.

In life, it is already very difficult to achieve a relative balance in many things.

Only after sitting in that chair can one truly understand how difficult it is to govern such a vast world!
Liu Mingzhi was bewildered and melancholy. After pondering for a while, he smiled and raised his hands to give Lei Jun a slight bow.

"Hahaha, what Brother Lei said is truly a resounding and insightful observation."

I have learned a great deal, brother.

Seeing this, Lei Jun quickly waved his hand at Young Master Liu.

"Brother Liu, I dare not, I dare not. I was just saying it casually."

I am unworthy of your insightful opinions, and even more so, I am unworthy of your words of instruction, Brother Liu!

Seeing this, Liu Mingzhi smiled faintly, pursed his lips twice, and then turned his head to look at Kriyko's pretty face.

“Yike, little girl.”

Upon hearing Young Master Liu's soft call, Kriy immediately parted her cherry lips and replied sweetly, "Yes, I'm here. Uncle Liu, please speak, I'm listening!"

“Yike, you must have heard what your Uncle Lei just said to me at length.”

Sometimes, while we shouldn't listen to only one side of the story when it comes to life and work, we should still take some of the advice that makes a lot of sense.

Everyone has their own thoughts, and every place has its own rules and customs.

As for you, Yike, not everything your Uncle Lei said is correct, but some of his views are definitely worth learning from.

My dear Yike, your uncle has said everything he needed to say.

As for how you view this matter, that's your own business.

As soon as Young Master Liu finished speaking earnestly, Kriyko's beautiful eyes flickered, and after a moment's thought, she immediately nodded gently to Young Master Liu a few times.

“Uncle Liu, when I have some free time, I will definitely try my best to understand what you and Uncle Lei were talking about just now.”

Upon hearing Kliyko's solemn reply, Liu Mingzhi nodded with a smile.

"Hahaha, that's excellent, that's excellent."

After responding to Kriyko's words with a cheerful laugh, Liu Mingzhi turned slightly to turn his gaze back to Lei Jun.

"Brother Lei, well, at this point, it's understandable that Yi Ke can't remember your identity."

"Brother Krich frequently hosts business partners from all over the country, so it's perfectly normal that he can't recall exactly when or where he'd seen you before, Yike."

Liu Mingzhi's words were not only helping Lei Jun out of a predicament, but also helping Kliyko out of a predicament.

If the matter of Kriyko not being able to recall Lei Jun's identity were to continue, not only would Lei Jun feel embarrassed, but Kriyko herself would also feel embarrassed.

Therefore, in order to avoid making Lei Jun and Kriyko feel awkward, it would be best to end this topic as soon as possible.

However, to Liu Mingzhi and Lei Jun's utter surprise, as soon as Young Master Liu finished speaking to help them out, Kriyko suddenly raised her long, slender arms and clapped her hands vigorously with a look of delight on her face.

"Snapped!"

With a sharp crack, Krijko swung his right hand hard.

"I remember now, I remember now."
