Chapter 451: Slipping away
"Uncle...... Can I say something you don't like to hear? While listening to Hong Tao's words, Bo Jiao wrote down the small notebook, and then grinned. His understanding of his uncle deepened again, and subverted the image of Hong Tao that had been subverted many times in his mind before.
"I don't really like what you say." Hong Tao thought that Bo Jiao was going to retreat, and he was a little helpless.
"I think you're getting more and more insidious...... You can do these things before you resign, just stare at them in the council and scold them, it's really not like a beating up on something that doesn't have long eyes, and the next day they promise to approve it. If you wish, you can convince anyone that my grandfather and grandfather will support you as well, and that no officer in the entire Royal Navy will dare to vote against it. But when you have to resign, throw this problem at me, and then hide behind and watch the excitement, and let me go to the front and charge. I'm a little skeptical that your resignation was pre-planned, I grew up with you, or you might as well call Wen Nan back and let him stand up to the thunder! "Who dares to say that Bo Jiao has no political acumen, Hong Tao pulled out his pistol and immediately killed him!
"You're a bit of an Imperial Prime Minister now!"
"If you think about problems in the future, you have to think like this, turn a few more corners, think of all possibilities, don't think that there is anything impossible, this is the basic skill of being an official. But my uncle clearly told you, you guessed wrong this time, my uncle and I are not so bad, I deliberately dug a pit for you to jump, and even took you and a whole family to calculate together. ”
"This resignation was really forced, and if I didn't resign, I would have to break the rules I had made. This must not be done. I also don't want to see the Empire go against my path. So I had no choice but to resign. From this point of view. Uncle, I am not a qualified Imperial Prime Minister. My personality is more extreme, more lazy, and I don't have the determination and courage to fight for my goals all my life, so don't learn from me. ”
"My uncle is really tired, thinking about the affairs of the country all day long, and he has to grind his teeth with the people in the parliament, which is very boring. Since you are here, take the place of your uncle to suffer this sin, who let you get on my ship in the first place? It's time for you to repay me. Learning skills is never free, sooner or later, sooner or later, this is your life! ”
For Bo Jiao saying that he was insidious and thinking that he was so inhuman, Hong Tao was very pleased. Being able to think like this means that Bo Jiao is no longer superstitious, and it would be better if he could just think about it and not talk about it. Just like Compassion and Bo Jiao, a few years ago, they could get together without scruples and fool around, but now they have their own plans, although the friendship is weak, but their thoughts are mature. Friendship is not suitable for officialdom. Hidden in the bottom of my heart, occasionally turned out to taste taste. It is enough to regulate your emotions.
Hong Tao and Bo Jiao chatted for a whole day, and went out for dinner and supper together in the evening, of course, all of which were paid by Bo Jiao. This kid is now one of the richest people in the empire, he and Medini are both emperors of the soil, the local policies of the empire can't control the two of them, people have long been private ownership, and they are still guarding the port of Callamba, which is currently the most prosperous trading port in the world, and eating two meals from him is simply a drizzle. Even if he eats him for half a year, at most, it will make him have one less decorative gem on his ship, so Hong Tao not only eats, but also packs it at home, and the amount of packaging is several times that of two people.
Emperor Hong said, there are four children at home, they are all your cousins, shouldn't you pay for a meal?
The expansion of the fleet is a trivial matter, and it is easy to get the approval of the parliament, but the issue of reforming the military system is complicated, and it is not only a matter of conscription, but also involves too many aspects. Bo Jiao's way of dealing with it was very much in line with Hong Tao's mind, he neither hurriedly threw this set of things out to scare everyone, nor did he drag it out against the law.
After talking to Hong Tao, Bo Jiao went to find Kong Pei, the two of them are also old buddies in the Royal Navy, they know each other very well, and they can say even more than with Hong Tao. Kong Pei supported the system of compulsory military service for all, and officials like him, who had risen from the common people, wanted to reduce the privileges of the emperor and officials. However, there are different opinions on the issue of gun ownership, he is the Minister of Defense, and this matter cannot stand aside and watch the excitement, and he will be directly responsible for the accident.
According to Kong Peihe's intentions, the proposal for a universal military service system can be made immediately, and he believes that there will not be much resistance. However, it is better for the soldiers to keep their weapons in the hands of the army, which is not only safe, but also reduces the number of guns issued and reduces the financial pressure on the country.
However, his proposal was rejected by Bo Jiao, who insisted on tying the national military service system and the issue of gun ownership to the parliament for approval, and Ren Kongpei could not be convinced, so he had to agree to Bo Jiao's proposal in principle.
Then Bo Jiao began the arduous and long public relations work, don't look at him as Bo Fu's own grandson, but it is not easy to persuade this stubborn old man to agree to send all his children to be soldiers. Not only him, but almost all the high-ranking officials of the empire were not happy, according to their ideas, it was enough to have a child of their own to serve as a soldier and contribute to the country, why should they go to all of them? Is it necessary to discriminate between men and women?
Bo Jiao was not stumped by their attitude, this thing Hong Tao had already given him a preventive shot, and he was mentally prepared. The front says that it is not successful, and the side says that it is not successful, and it is said that it is not achieved and goes around the back. Anyway, no matter what aspect it is, it is a purpose, that is, to make these old men agree with their own views, and if they really can't agree, they will reserve their opinions, don't oppose them, and then communicate slowly.
"Bo Jiao is already crazy, grinding with grandpa at home all day, and using all the tricks of crying, making trouble and hanging himself. said that Grandpa did not support him as prime minister, if the first proposal could not be passed at the beginning of his tenure, there would be no place to put his face, and he would take his children and daughter-in-law back to Kalamba, and he would never come back for the rest of his life, and he would not come back with no face. "The only one in the Bo family who has not been harassed by Bo Jiao is Bo Zhu, but Bo Zhu can't feel it in his eyes, and he can't hold back and can only talk to Hong Tao.
"You don't get involved in it, and it's better to listen less. The children are about to start school, and these days they follow me around playing around, and their hearts are a little wild, it's time to take it in, and you have to do this job. Hong Tao was holding his wife at this time and was about to hold hands, Bo Zhu was no longer the woman from the Tan family who didn't have a piece of fat on her body before, and after giving birth to two children, she was also a little blessed. However, Hong Tao does not dislike it, he likes Bo Zhu's screaming when his love is strong, even if he holds hands with Bo Zhu for the sake of family harmony. When there are more women, it is the time to test the wisdom of men's lives, and many inadvertent little things are the most effective.
"You and I tell you honestly, Bo Jiao's idea was not yours! He had never had such a quarrel with his family, and now that he has grown up, how can he add to the problem. And the things he said, the more I listened to them, the more it sounded like yours! Bo Zhu was very satisfied with her husband, and she was not really angry because Hong Tao married a few more daughters-in-law. She understands that Senya and Baixiang are not her husband's choice, and as for whether Hong Tao still has a woman outside, she doesn't worry about that. In this era, there are not many women who can sit on an equal footing with their husbands, and it is easy to be content.
"Really? That's bad, you can hear it, no one else is stupid than you, it looks like I'm going to have to go out and hide! If this matter is detained by them, not only will Bo Jiao not be able to benefit, but others will have to think more...... Tomorrow I will take Cixi's family to Cape Town, and by the way, I will also plant our tobacco. This is a big deal, and our family will have to live on these little leaves in the future. Listening to Bo Zhu's words, Hong Tao even stopped the claws that had been roaming his wife's body, his little eyes were rolling around, he felt the smell of danger, and he was about to flee immediately.
"Let's go again! You can't stay at home for a few more days, you're not the prime minister now, and you're so busy! You're the emperor, can they still eat you? Bo Zhu instinctively pursed her lips, although she did not restrict Hong Tao's activities, but what wife would want not to see her husband for a few months all year round.
"Hey, hey, hey...... Don't go in vain, before I go, I have to listen to you sing first, and then give me a prince and princess or something...... Don't hide! This is the Divine Decree! It's a pity that she caught up with Hong Tao, the perfect combination of two-skinned face and shamelessness, and it was useless to say it.
