[0994 Borrow money from my father-in-law]
"Brother, don't laugh, what's ridiculous, isn't it normal to borrow silver, borrow it, if you don't borrow it, I'll find another way." Wei Bao said with a bitter face.
When I was already a little upset, I was even more annoyed by being laughed at like this.
Wei Bao's upset point is that Wei Bao is actually not sure about this matter.
Anything that is not realized is actually uncertain.
Who knows what will happen to Ming.
Wei Bao is still a person who looks at things more openly, especially the little results he has made now, most of them because he is a reborn giant, which is equivalent to buying a lottery ticket and winning the lottery.
It didn't take much effort to get something.
Wei Bao likes the "golden mean" of being a man and an official the most.
Keen on the purity of the ears, no distractions, no distractions.
In fact, in the process of spiritual training, such a person is unheard of.
Today's Wei Bao is not in a quiet mood.
It's like walking along a muddy and winding mountain road.
The peak turns around, lying quietly in the mountainside of the big lake, surrounded by clouds and mist, like a fairyland on earth.
Morning bells and dusk drums, accompanied by ancient trees. The mountain spring is murmuring, like the sound of a tinkling piano.
flowed into the hustle and bustle of the world, sweeping away the dusty heart.
The long road of life seems to be full of mountains and rivers, but it is also difficult and bright.
mediocre generation, it is rare to encounter things that save people from fire and water. But I always think about my own mistakes, always cherish the kindness of others, be humble like a valley, and treat others with leniency, and I don't know it.
A person who comes to this world to practice is an ascetic in himself. Then why bother to blame the sinner, the sinner sins himself?
The cicada noise forest is quiet, and the birdsong mountain is more secluded.
The cool breeze is blowing, and the bamboo shadows are swaying. A cup of camellia and a clean conversation are empowering.
The six roots are pure, leaving behind the grievances and hatreds in the world.
Looking up, the green mountains are like daisies.
Created naturally, it is like the three bowls of rice in the temple to worship the Bodhisattva.
The afterglow is extraordinarily enchanting. Twilight embraces.
The Tao is very good, and it is very good.
The Buddhist scriptures are limited, but the Dharma is boundless.
No matter how hard you think about it, it's hard to exhaust one or two after all.
After Zhang Zhiji laughed for a while, he saw that Wei Bao's face was not good-looking, and he could understand that Wei Bao had a lot of things, and he probably knew what happened to Wei Bao, so he said: "Brother, don't work too hard, there are many things, don't be in a hurry." ”
"Brother, what's wrong with you today, it feels a little weird." Wei Bao asked helplessly.
The heart of Wei Bao is eager for progress and dissatisfied with the status quo.
Wei Bao wants to shine and realize his self-worth.
However, when it comes to the capital, there are not many tasks for people to complete.
For Wei Bao, it seems that every step in the capital is someone else digging a hole for himself.
At this time, there will be a gap in the heart, the larger the system, the more detailed the division of labor, and it will not be as busy as the assembly line from work to work.
Wei Bao's modern education model is incompatible with this era, causing many students to be accustomed to passive cramming education.
In society, this behavior pattern has not been changed in time, so that they are at a loss at work.
Faced with this situation, the best thing to do is to talk to your seniors. They will be happy to solve your confusion.
"Aren't you going to resign? I think it's good, go back to Liaoxi, run it with peace of mind, there is such a big manor, and our British government supports you, it's okay, as long as you leave the capital, no one can touch you, so don't be afraid of being like this. Zhang Zhiji patted Wei Bao's shoulder, there was a kind of superior blessing that could not be found
Wei Bao fainted, and then he realized that his eldest brother thought so, and you thought I was scared.
Didn't I already know very well, I came to report the situation to my father-in-law, and by the way, I borrowed a little silver, where can you see that I am going to escape?
Is there a problem with your ability to understand?
Facing Zhang Zhiji, Wei Bao didn't know what to do, his eldest brother was really the number one otaku, and he couldn't communicate with him at all.
A lot of people will feel very good in the same situation, and it's perfectly fine.
Being aware of the problem means a lot to the individual.
Weibo needs to be driven by the environment, and its self-driving ability needs to be improved.
Entering the bureaucratic system of the Ming Dynasty, no one will promote Wei Bao's growth, not even Wei Bao's father-in-law.
It's up to you to grow or not.
Even if someone brings Wei Bao.
There are action-oriented and planned results. So the heart is weak, of course, because no one arranges things, and at a deeper level, it is impossible to control yourself.
"Brother, I'm not free, help me call Tarzan." Wei Bao frowned.
"What's the hurry, Bao, you want me, you have too many eyes, resign from the office, you still have to take this kind of work, first a few treaty ports can collect a few silver a year. As long as you take this kind of thing, you don't have any money to go around with people, and you even have to go to your father-in-law's house to borrow silver, and then you don't have any money for Your Majesty, you can't do it, and then leave, it's better to resign directly, you, it's just too much, too much, hehehahaha. Zhang Zhiji laughed again, looking like he had seen through Wei Bao.
Wei Bao almost fainted, he couldn't see it, his eldest brother's thoughts were very profound, my brother just came to borrow some silver, do you think my brother is so complicated?
However, in the blink of an eye, Wei Bao also understood why Zhang Zhiji thought so much about himself.
Because I have always been invincible in my previous work, I didn't encounter many obstacles, and everything was done.
This Zhang Zhiji must have thought that he was pretending to borrow money this time and then go home.
There is an essential difference between taking the money actively and passively taking the money out.
If it weren't for the fact that the general number of the capital who knew the name of the local association would not have been able to come up with nine million taels of silver, and it would be too troublesome to mobilize silver from Liaodong, Wei Bao would really not have opened his mouth to the old man.
"Okay, brother, I don't have time to chat, if you don't help me pass the word, I'll go find our father myself." Wei Bao Road.
Wei Bao is already familiar with this place, and his son-in-law can hold half of it, anyway, he can freely enter and leave the British mansion without passing the word.
"I'll take you there, Dad is also very worried about your affairs, and I have found a few friends to discuss, and I guess Dad is also anxious to see you at this time." Zhang Zhiji led the way forward.
Wei Bao sighed, secretly wondering if Zhang Weixian was in a hurry to see me and sent someone to call, wouldn't I just come over, why didn't he send someone to find me.
The two of them walked all the way inside.
Wei Bao walked behind Zhang Zhiji, a little weak-hearted.
Wei Bao is a little afraid of Zhang Weixian, and he is also a little afraid of Wu Xiang, all because the other party is the identity of the old man.
The father-in-law can't afford to offend, otherwise the son-in-law will not be able to eat and walk around.
Although the relationship between Weng and son-in-law is better than that of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, generally speaking, sons-in-law are respectful, fearful, and presumptuous in front of their father-in-law.
Just like a subordinate meets a superior, the status is unequal.
Whether it is usual, or during the New Year's holidays, it is definitely inappropriate for the son-in-law to go to his father-in-law's house empty-handed, and the gift is thin and he is afraid that the father-in-law and mother-in-law will not look down on it, so in order to please the second elder, it takes a lot of effort.
After the son-in-law and his father-in-law and mother-in-law meet and greet each other, they often have nothing to say and are easy to be cold.
It would be better if the son-in-law was a successful person, otherwise the son-in-law would have to look at the face of his father-in-law and mother-in-law, and dare not talk too much or nonsense, for fear that the sentence would be inappropriate and cause a backlash
As a result, it will appear trembling, helpless, and quite embarrassing.
When eating with the father-in-law, if you drink alcohol, the son-in-law must grasp it well and not let go of drinking.
If the son-in-law drinks too much, he is easy to make a fool of himself, and he will be complained by his wife when he goes back.
Therefore, the son-in-law may feel awkward when he eats at his father-in-law's house.
In short, when he was at his father-in-law's house, his son-in-law's heart was always in a state of tension, and when he left his father-in-law's house, he would be relaxed.
Wei Bao is like this at the moment.
Zhang Weixian is sitting at the door of the study at the moment.
It's cold and windy outside, but it's warm like spring inside.
Zhang Weixian sat at the door, seemingly half flames and half ice and snow.
Wei Bao couldn't understand why the old man liked to roast the fire like this.
But I can probably understand this mentality, which is like the father-in-law of later generations, turn on the coldest air conditioner, and then open the windows on all sides, and it is also called ventilation, which is good for the body.
Anyway, they don't have to pay for the wasted electricity bills.
When I got home, I blew the air conditioner one by one and knew that the doors and windows were closed.
"Dad, here comes the treasure." Zhang Weixian called softly.
Zhang Weixian did not wake up.
A maid beside Zhang Weixian said softly: "Son, Grandpa Guo just fell asleep." ”
Zhang Zhiji sighed and said to Wei Bao: "Then some are waiting, my father has a lunch break, at least for an hour!" If you can't wake up, if you do, you will lose your temper. ”
Wei Bao almost fainted again, feeling that everything had not been going well recently, except for the telephone sent from Liaodong, which could give him a little comfort.
However, hearing that Zhang Weixian didn't wake up so quickly, Wei Bao was also a little relieved, he was afraid that Zhang Weixian would wake up immediately now, and he would be angry when he heard that he would spend nine million taels of silver, and he would be angry if he disagreed with himself, and he would count himself down.
"It's okay, I'll just wait here." Wei Bao said to Zhang Zhiji.
"Okay, then let's go up to the house and wait." Zhang Zhiji said: "Walk lightly, don't wake up the old man." ”
Wei Bao smiled slightly: "No, didn't you just return it yourself, can't you wake up?" Can you wake up in the aisle? ”
"Well, the old man is very strange, he can't wake up, but sometimes his steps are very light, and he can wake up immediately, a little suspicious." Zhang Zhiji explained.
Wei Bao sighed, he didn't think there was anything strange about this.
People in high positions will gradually be infected with this kind of suspicion.
It's as if Wei Bao himself is a little bit now.
Others called, he heard it, but he couldn't wake up, because he knew that there was nothing important, and he could judge from the tone of the other party.
But when there is a sound of footsteps, I am always worried that someone will come to kill me, or something bad, and the people below dare not and hesitate around.
What's more, his old father-in-law is not an ordinary person, but a British duke.
In the twentieth year of Wanli, Emperor Shenzong ordered the seventh British duke, Zhang Weixian, to administer the so-called Beiqi region, and established an autonomous jurisdiction based on the former Jiaozhi Buzheng Division, in which the British enjoyed the same rights as other overseas vassal lords.
Externally, however, it only has the power to communicate with the three countries to be monitored, and even Siam, a major power on the Indochina Peninsula, has no autonomy.
From here, it can be seen that its greatest role is to serve as a feudal town to deter Indochina, and as an outpost for the imperial army.
The core of the country is the Red River Delta, which is established in the capital of Ci, Jiaozhou, with a population of 1.3 million, and is the economic and political center of the region.
The British government took great leniency measures against the local Jing people.
On an equal footing with the Han Chinese colonizers, the government had the responsibility to protect their rights as subjects of the empire, to use the national language, and to hold traditional festivals.
The Annam policy, which was both rigid and soft, kept the southern frontier of the Ming Empire stable for more than 200 years.
As a vassal state that was on first-class alert, Annam had a hard time, so he could only obediently become a "rice tribute country".
The Ming Dynasty has garrisons in Jiading and Nha Trang, as for why there is no in Hue, the official explanation is: "Annam is an internal vassal, and it should be treated as a prince."
It shows that you are at the level of Prince Ming, don't think about being the head of an independent country.
This is the current situation in Annam, and the autonomous power enjoyed by Biyungui has been squeezed out everywhere in the Korean system.
At the tributary audience and banquet in Jiangning, the seat of the king of Annam was even lower than that of the sultan of Sulu, which was simply a perennial humiliation, so the Li family always tried not to participate in this kind of torture and "tribute".
Annam's agriculture is dominated by cultivated rice paddies and intensive economic plantations, and is largely pre-industrial.
The Ming Empire was unwilling to provide sufficient funds to help Vietnamese peasants expand their production and livelihood security, but it was extremely generous to North Korea and others.
Farmers regularly deliver rice and other crops to local officials on a quarterly basis before exporting them to the Ming Dynasty or other countries, and the difference between the purchase price and the export price is the government's grain tax.
However, the export price cannot be moved because of the tariff issue, so naturally it can only squeeze the peasants more, and the people of Annam are also the same as the people in the Beiqi region have resentment against the "root cause" of the disaster and the Ming Empire.
His old father-in-law used to be infinitely close to the status of a prince, this is a precedent for the Ming Dynasty to have no different surnames to be crowned kings, otherwise the British Mansion is likely to be changed to a royal palace.
After Wei Bao and Zhang Zhiji entered the house, they chatted for a while, and Zhang Zhiji was bored and left first.
Wei Bao stayed for a while, but he couldn't keep it, so he could only continue to wait alone.
More than an hour, Wei Bao waited for an hour and a half before Zhang Weixian woke up.
Wei Bao has been secretly observing his old father-in-law, and feels that his father-in-law should know that he is coming, and it is likely that he has just arrived, and Zhang Weixian will know that this is taking a shelf.
This made Wei Bao a little unhappy, and it was understandable that he was lacking.
Because Zhang Zhiji's reaction just now made it clear that the problem was clear, and they all felt that they couldn't do it now.
It seems that what they mean is that you Wei Bao also has a good chat.
