I want to be emperor

Chapter 905 Song Erniu Wants Face
Song Erniu went around the tea room and got a lot of famous thorns. The owners of these famous thorns are all famous people in North America, otherwise they would not be able to sit in the first class!
However, most of them are from the business world, and there are no politicians in the first class. Ran to a group of business people to join in the fun.

I heard that on today's flight, a real top dignitary brought his family back to the mainland. The politicians in the first class basically pretended to be qualified, and they all ran to greet and join in the fun.

Song Erniu and his group of pure businessmen, to put it bluntly, are the upper class in North America, but they are still not good enough in front of the real dignitaries, let alone whether they have the qualifications to join in. Song Erniu didn't even know that there was one before. Such a top dignitary took a boat, but I heard it mentioned by others at the tea party.

As for Song Erniu and the others, the top dignitaries of the Great Chu Empire, Yu Chenlin, Marquis of Anding, also sent away a group of guests who came to visit him at this time, and then sat on the soft sofa and sighed: "Five years in North America Life is finally coming to an end!"

Andinghou Yu Chenlin was the first generation of Andinghou of the Great Chu Empire, the son of General Xiujie of the Great Chu Empire's army.

Speaking of Yu Xiujie, he was one of the well-known founding generals in the Great Chu Empire. During the Unification War, he served as the Minister of Logistics for a long time, and was in charge of the logistics affairs of many large-scale battles during the Unification War of the Empire.

This is also one of the founding senior generals, one of the few founding generals who have never been on the battlefield, but have won the rank of general, and also have a very high reputation in the army.

General Yu Xiujie, although he has never been to any battlefield, let alone led soldiers to fight, but he has done a good job in logistics. He can arrange all the food, grass and ammunition needed by the army in front to march and fight.

That alone is enough.

After all, fighting a war itself means that the soldiers and horses go first before the food and grass are used, which shows the importance of logistics work.

In addition, as the head of the logistics department of the Great Chu Empire in the early days, it can be said that he single-handedly established the military logistics system of the Great Chu Empire, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the father of military logistics in the Great Chu Empire.

These achievements made him one of the founding generals of the Great Chu Empire, and he was granted the title of Marquis of Anding.

Of course, in fact, all the nobles who made great achievements during the founding of the country and were granted the title of Marquis or above have received the preferential treatment of inheriting the original title for three generations, and after the third generation, the hereditary inheritance of the baron.

After all, they followed you Luo Zhixue in the early days of banditry, put their heads on their waistbands and rebelled, and played an important role. It is normal for Luo Zhixue to give them special preferential treatment of hereditary titles.

And Luo Zhixue treated the heroes of the founding period fairly well. Although the military power and other rights were successively recovered in the follow-up, there would be no less glory and wealth.

As long as you don't be stupid in the follow-up, there will be no less prosperity and wealth for a hundred years. Of course, it's another matter for you to seek death yourself.

In recent years, there are many aristocrats who have been dealt with because of their stupidity, and there are even some aristocrats who have their titles reduced for this. But on the whole, the status of the founding aristocrats of the Great Chu Empire is relatively stable.

Yu Xiujie was one of them. He voluntarily resigned as the head of the logistics department after the end of the Dongyao War, but continued to serve as the Minister of Military Affairs of the Military Affairs Council with the rank of general of the army, and began to retreat to the second line.

In the 16th year of Chengshun, Yu Xiujie resigned from the post of Minister of Military Affairs, and officially retired from the army and became a reserve.

Although Yu Xiujie was still in his prime at the time, only in his forties, he still chose to retire voluntarily.

This was also the common choice of many senior generals during the founding period... After all, it can be said that the world was peaceful at that time, and the continuous external expansion was also supported by the new generation of generals.

On the one hand, their group of founding senior generals are easily feared by His Majesty, and on the other hand, they will also block the way of latecomers...

There are only so many high-level positions in the military, and they, the founding generals, occupy them for a long time, so the latecomers will not be able to rise up...

In order to get a good death and maintain a decent face, many people choose to retire bravely, even if they are in their prime, they will choose to beg for bones.

This has been dominating the position and not moving, even if His Majesty does not move them, those ambitious subordinates will have to mess with him...or His Majesty will acquiesce to those ambitious subordinates messing with him...

So this has nothing to do with ability or age, but when the time comes, you should retreat to the second line, otherwise it will easily become the focus of conflict...

The generals who were able to get along in the unification war were naturally few idiots, and they were very clear about these things, so they retired consciously when the time came.

Some of them will transfer to the political circle to continue to work in politics. In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, quite a number of senior civil officials were actually transferred after the military generals retired.

There are also some who will go to the Zongwu Mansion to take a idle position and continue to maintain their titles as officials. Only the clan and nobles can hold high-level positions in the Zongwu Mansion, and ordinary civil servants cannot.

Others completely quit the officialdom and started to enjoy life or do business.

It was at that time that Yu Xiujie chose to retire and went to the Zongwu Mansion to take a idle job to start retirement, but his life was just average. After enjoying the blessings for more than ten years, he died of illness in the 30th year of Chengshun.

The title of Marquis of Anding was inherited by his eldest son, Yu Chenlin.

The title of Marquis of Anding can be inherited by the original noble for three generations, and Yu Chenlin is the second generation.

However, although Yu Chenlin inherited the title, he was not an idle nobleman, nor did he join the army... On the contrary, Yu Chenlin had already passed the official position before inheriting the title, and he was already a fourth-rank magistrate of a certain place before inheriting the title.

A few years after inheriting the title, that is, in the 33rd year of Chengshun, he was transferred to the governor of North America to take up the post of participating in politics, from the third rank!
That year, he was only 32 years old!

Being able to become a magistrate at a young age is certainly due to his own ability, but he has no doubt that his family background has given him great help.

Because he is the son of Marquis Anding, and for nobles and their heirs, the Great Chu Empire has preferential treatment for becoming an official.

Nobility and noble heirs, including non-hereditary barons who have no actual title to inherit (sons of non-hereditary barons can only inherit the title of lord, and the title of lord does not have any political privileges), the eldest son of a jazz (a jazz is a lifelong title, and cannot Inheritance), the above-mentioned powerful nobles and their heirs all have the privilege of being an official.

If you join the army, high school graduates can directly enter the three major military academies without taking the exam, and if you enter the three major military academies, you will actually obtain the status of an officer, because the students of the three major military academies will be awarded the rank of warrant officer as long as they enroll.

If you are in politics, those who have a high school or a technical secondary school degree or above can be exempted from the exam and directly become an official. A high school or technical secondary school degree is awarded from the ninth rank, a junior college degree is awarded from the eighth rank, and a four-year undergraduate degree is awarded the eighth rank.

Of course, there are some limitations to the scope of being an official directly without taking the exam. For example, some administrative agencies have requirements for majors, especially the judiciary. Those who do not have a corresponding academic background cannot enter.

You can't let a person who has never been in contact with the judiciary go to the inspector's office to be a censor, isn't it... In the inspectorate of the Great Chu Empire, except for logistics and administrative positions, all others require a graduate from the law department, and the censor's professional position , basically only college students majoring in law.

The beginning is a three-year college student. If you want to go to a better place, such as the inspectorate in a big city, you have to be a four-year law undergraduate student in a good school.

If you want to enter the Gyeonggi Central Prosecutor's Office, basically don't expect to be from the Guozijian Law Department...

As for Guozijian University, its status in the Great Chu Empire is equivalent to the combination of Qing and North in later generations, and it is the top in both science and engineering.

Of course, this does not include the Royal Institute of Technology, which is not a regular school...

At the same time, it is worth noting that Guozijian University is not the common choice of top students in the Great Chu Empire. In fact, quite a few top students, especially those who want to become officials, first choose the three major military academies!
The future of going to the three major military academies is equally great, whether it is the same for military or politics.

You can become a general if you can make it in the army, and if you don’t do well, you can change your career to become a civil servant in your thirties... It can also save the years of low-level civilian officials in the early stage. If you change jobs in your thirties, you will be a good middle-level official. What about the job?

On the whole, in the current Great Chu Empire, science monsters all go to the Royal Institute of Technology to win the so-called scientific research titles and embark on the road to the pinnacle of life.

Liberal arts monsters, some of them went to join the army... Don't ask why they study history, literature monsters go to the military academy, just to become officials... So there are actually a lot of academic masters in the army of the Great Chu Empire, and many of them are literary masters. Science tyrants, poetry and articles are the kind that come at hand.

There are also some liberal arts monsters, but those who don't want to suffer in the army, or those whose physical conditions are not up to standard, went to the Guozijian University.

In addition, young geniuses in liberal arts or science and engineering who are not considered evil, but have very good grades will also apply for Guozijian University.

Therefore, in the contemporary Great Chu Empire, Guozijian University is still very good. Its graduates do not say 100%, but nine out of ten are officials. Therefore, Guozijian University is also called a civil service preparatory school. comparable to military schools.

There is a situation here, that is, the Royal Institute of Technology, Guozijian University, and the three major military academies that the top students in the Great Chu Empire applied for. grade).

It can also be seen from this that in the Great Chu Empire, most of the students studied hard in the cold window, mostly for the purpose of becoming an official. There is a simple and simple tradition of Chinese students for thousands of years: study for the purpose of being an official!
When a large number of outstanding talents flocked to the officialdom, the officials naturally had higher and higher standards when selecting talents, among which the Inspectorate had the highest recruitment requirements.

When the post of censor in the Procuratorate is open to students applying for the examination, it has the highest average education requirements.

There is no way, if you don't study law, you can't do this job at all... After all, the censor is actually an official lawyer in many cases, and those who file various public prosecutions are not proficient in the law, so how can they play.

Furthermore, the position of the Procuratorate in the Great Chu Empire is relatively special, and the censors have a high social status and great power at the same time.

A censor in a place, even a small censor of seventh or eighth rank, is a knife hanging over the heads of many local officials... Countless officials, especially corrupt officials who are not clean The scariest scene is being targeted by a certain censor, and then being treated as a sacrifice for promotion and fortune by the censor...

Because the censors of the Great Chu Empire wanted to get promoted and get rich, other political achievements were not very good... Luo Zhixue set the standards for the censors of the Inspectorate by himself. Public prosecutions and the like are essential tasks, well done It should be, but if you want extra points, get promoted quickly and make a fortune... then there is only one way: anti-corruption!
As long as you are brave enough and capable enough to pull down your local prefect or county magistrate, you will be promoted quickly tomorrow.

When the censor is promoted to a certain level, it is basically difficult to move up to a higher level without pulling down a heavyweight official (compared with his own rank).

How many officials are killed, and the level of the officials killed is a seniority medal of a censor.

How can you get promoted if you don't have enough qualifications?

And the censor who fights against corruption and pulls down corrupt officials often has a good reputation among the people and a high social status... he is promoted quickly and makes a lot of money, and the censors in the inspectorate are treated very well In addition to the official salary and benefits, because the Procuratorate often conducts public prosecutions, there will be some fines and the like, and for the enthusiasm of the grassroots to handle cases, the empire will issue part of the fines obtained for these cases to the case censor as a bonus, so There are also quite a few bonuses for handling the case... The combined legal income will not be worse than that of lawyers outside.

High social status, high income, and great power... Well, if one day you put on a straight face and lead a few patrolmen into the gate of a certain yamen, the officials working inside will be terrified, Those who can't bear it psychologically will have to be scared to piss on the spot...

Everyone thought they were found out for corruption, and thought you were here to catch him!
Catching corrupt officials can also satisfy the sense of justice... This is also very popular among young people.

The particularity of these Inspectorate has led to a lot of young students who want to go to Inspectorate.

There are more people who want to go, and the competition will naturally increase, so the requirements for applying for the exam are getting higher and higher.

Under such circumstances, it is not easy even for the son of a nobleman who wants to go to the Inspectorate...

After graduating from Chenlin University, he was exempted from the entrance examination and entered the Ministry of Industry and Commerce to work. He started off as a genuine Bapin... and because of his family background, he worked very smoothly!
This smoothness does not mean that it is easy, but that he can participate in things that have the opportunity to make meritorious deeds... Although he is still exhausted, it is easy to make meritorious deeds and get promoted.

And when it's time for a promotion after he has made meritorious service, no one dares to hold him back.

So the promotion is very fast, and at the age of 32, he has already become a political participant of the third rank.

It's just that there is a price for this. Promotion is possible, but the place of assignment is not so good, so I can only go to work overseas.

This is also in line with the policy of the empire. In order to allow officials to work overseas willingly, officials who go to work overseas will generally be given preferential treatment. Generally, they will be promoted to a higher level when they go to work, and they will be promoted to a higher level after their term of office expires.

Otherwise, in fact, many officials are unwilling to leave the prosperous and comfortable homeland and go to work in overseas territories or even colonies where they are not familiar.

In fact, relying on this policy, Yu Chenlin was successfully promoted to Cong Sanlin, and worked in North America to participate in politics, mainly in charge of agricultural work.

This work lasted for five years... From Chengshun's 33 years to this year's 38 years, he resigned and returned to Beijing to report on his work after a full five-year term, ready to accept a new work arrangement.

The ups and downs of the past five years have also made Yu Chenlin grow a lot, at least he will not come to visit these people, and the officials who win the relationship will show something easily, and no matter who comes, they will use formulas to dismiss them.

After dismissing the visitors, Yu Chenlin returned to the suite to accompany his family.

At this time, the Su Song also blew its whistle, which was a signal to lift anchor and set sail. At this time, he also took his family members to the top deck.

As the ship lifted anchor, a number of high-thrust steam tugboats began to use their small bodies to push the huge Su Song away from the dock slowly.

When the ship slowly left the pier, many passengers on the ship waved to the people on the pier to see them off on the deck.

As the Su Song was pushed away by the tugboat, the steam unit that had already fired and pressurized the Su Song also began to officially output power, and a three-blade propeller with a diameter of [-] meters in the middle under the stern began to rotate, providing a powerful boost for the huge Su Song. The luxury liner provides power for low-speed sailing.

After the ship entered the main channel of the port, the ship further accelerated to leave the port, and after leaving the port and entering the real sea, the two main propellers with a diameter of [-] meters on both sides of the Susong's stern also started to start.

Inside the cabin of the Su Song, a large number of boiler workers are shirtless and use shovels to continuously feed coal into the coal-fired furnace. The heat generated by the coal combustion heats the water in the water pipe, and makes the water boil to generate high-temperature and high-pressure steam. .

The high-temperature and high-pressure steam is transmitted to the three-expansion steam engine through pipelines, driving the huge piston to reciprocate. When the piston reciprocates, the power transmission system also drives three huge power transmission shafts to rotate.

The transmission shaft has been transmitting power to the large propeller at the tail of the ship, pushing the propeller to rotate, and the rotating propeller contacts the sea water, and the reaction force generated pushes the huge Su Song to continuously increase its speed.

From five verses, eight verses, to ten verses, to twelve verses.

It didn't take long for the Su Song to increase its speed to [-] knots. The bow kept cutting and slapping the waves, heading straight for the endless depths of the ocean!

The largest and fastest luxury ocean liner in active service in the Great Chu Empire, the Su Song, officially set sail back to the mainland!
After the ship sails stably, the passengers in the first-class cabin either take a walk and chat on the exclusive top deck of the first-class cabin, or enter other entertainment facilities in the ship, or listen to a play, listen to music, or go to a restaurant, etc. wait.

As a luxury ocean liner, the Su Song provides passengers with not only a room for accommodation, but also ample entertainment facilities. Of course, these entertainment facilities are free of charge except for deck blowing, and the rest are basically paid items... in Providing additional value-added services on ships is also a major business income for luxury passenger ships.

Song Erniu was no exception, it was boring to stay in the room, and after the first few hours of socializing, he also gradually lost the utilitarianism he had when he first boarded the ship, so he simply ran to the theater on the ship to ask for help. After getting a small box, I went to the theater.

He didn't forget a group of subordinates when he was listening to the play. When he returned to the mainland this time, he had business assistants, that is, Chief Mo of the secretary's office and two ordinary business secretaries.

In life, he brings two young and beautiful maids who take care of him personally and warm the bed; a housekeeper who is in charge of all kinds of trivial matters in the itinerary, two ordinary attendants who help the housekeeper, a full-time coachman, and four security guards.

Add up to a dozen people!

As for why you brought so many people back... This is a blind date at home... No, do you understand if you go home to visit relatives... If you don't get some cards, people in the old family, especially the Chen family in the county, think he is Song Erniu The million worth is a bragging.

He Song Erniu, although he was born as a cowherd boy, he still needs face!
Furthermore, he, Song Erniu, could probably guess why the Chen family in the county intended to marry him.

Isn't it because I have money!

If the money is not displayed for others to see, how will they know whether you are really rich or fake rich?

Sometimes if you want to be respected, regardless of the form of respect, you must first show your strength...

If you pretend to be a poor dick, don't blame others for really treating you as a poor dick.

If you still pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, it may be very cool to be the protagonist, but it will not feel so good to be a third party who is on the sidelines.

Such a big billionaire, pretending to be a poor boy... The key is that he really behaves like a poor boy!

Another old man who is so awesome that no one looks down on him. He slaps the villains in the face one by one. When the villains can't take it anymore and start to fight back, you can smile crookedly.

When you meet such a person, it is always right to stay away!
Not afraid of trouble, but disgusting!
