After ordering the female official to serve refreshments, Liu Yunping retreated from the crowd.

"I must have met a lot of big people today."

Qianhua nodded honestly.

"Have you received a red envelope?" Liu Yun smiled serenely.

"Red Envelope...... Yes, after getting in the car, Lu Zhuyuan gave a set of jewelry, three pairs of earrings, and three necklaces, which are diamonds, rubies, and jadeite, which look very valuable. Oh, and also, my personal lady confessed that she received a small red envelope of 500 yuan. ”

Liu Yun nodded with satisfaction: "It should be less than the ministers, so take it with peace of mind." ”

Qianhua carefully picked up the teacup and took a sip: "Dad, you know all this." ”

"I know more."

"More?"

In an instant, a breathtaking cold light flashed in Liu Yun's cloudy eyes, and Qianhua couldn't help but tremble in his heart.

"Zhang Qianqing, this woman, is not simple." Liu Yun sighed coldly.

Zhang Qianqing...... What's wrong with her? Qianhua had a premonition, in fact, when she rejected Zhang Qianqing a few hours ago, it was largely out of the instinct of a premonition of conspiracy.

"Someone wants to break the established pattern, they need chess pieces." Liu Yun's explanation is obviously too abstract.

Qianhua didn't find this sentence too difficult to understand, on the contrary, her father pointed out how she felt when she faced Zhang Qianqing a few hours ago.

"I hope you recognize that too."

Qianhua only nodded.

"We need chess pieces too, so let's use them the opposite."

Liu Yun highlighted the word "we".

"I know that after today, you have a lot of questions in your heart, but you must know that the group needs strength, not only political and military strength, but also enough economic strength, so that the group can master as many political, military and economic resources as possible is the basic consensus of the group's top management."

Qian Hua looked down and listened without resistance.

"Since the group has taken full power, accepting red envelopes and bribes has never been completely prohibited, and now it has become a rule.

"Logically speaking, after receiving money, you have to do things, but you have to remember that the major decisions of the empire are made through collective discussion and leadership decisions of the group, which is related to the dual interests of the empire and the group, and no one can act alone."

"So...... Is that a tax in disguise? Qianhua casually played with the snacks on the small plate.

"It can be said that there is an unwritten rule within the group that all members must take the initiative to declare after receiving benefits, and depending on the situation, take out five to eighty percent as the group's common funds, as funds for off-budget secret activities, and capital for the group's economic undertakings. For example, the Haw Par Battalion and the Eagle Wolf Battalion, which are directly under the group, are not included in the state budget and are fully covered from common funds. In addition, when purchasing shares listed on state-owned enterprises, they also use common funds, and when dividends are paid, members withdraw a part of it, and most of it is used to expand investment ......"

"What happens if a member receives a benefit and doesn't declare it and doesn't hand it in?"

"Concealment and failure to report it is a betrayal of the group, and once it is discovered, it will be severely punished. Corruption is also absolutely prohibited, and being greedy for the country's money is equivalent to being greedy for the group's money, which is also a betrayal. It turned out that Wu Dingguo, who was in charge of the Logistics Department of the General Staff Department, was concealing bribes and embezzlement, and the amount was extremely heavy, and he was punished for several crimes, so he had to die. ”

Qian Hua breathed a sigh of relief.

"Unspoken rules that can be controlled?"

"That's right, what is within the rules is good for the individual, good for the group, harmless to the empire, even if it violates the Qing law, but it is not unacceptable. Those who transgress and break the rules are beneficial to individuals, groups, and empires, and must be resolutely cracked down. What matters is the controllability of the rules...... Remember, the superior plays with the rules, and the rules are meant to be maintained rather than broken, and subverting the rules comes at a cost, and before attempting to change the rules, you must carefully consider the relationships involved and the costs that will be paid. ”

"Understood...... Qianhua lowered his head, in front of the thousand-year-old demon, the little goblin who has not cultivated deeply is doomed to be powerless.

"Do you know the way? The Royal Education Fund, which you are responsible for, has three million start-up funds that come out of the common fund. The well-known Twenty-Twenty-Five Foundation, which distributes one million in scientific research awards and scholarships every year, is also run with common funds. You can't just look at things from a single point of view, yes, on the surface, the ministers received red envelopes and bribes, but the chaebols only got their projects because of red envelopes and bribes? No, the reason why a certain project is handed over to the chaebol is precisely because of its abundant financial resources and the fact that the project can be carried out in a short period of time, and it is all made after the group's expert research, after full collective discussion, and after I, the leader, finally make a decision. ”

"This kind of unspoken rule is also a means to control the chaebol."

Liu Yun sneered: "Of course, the power in our hands is not exclusively for them, we must make it clear to them at all times that they must rely on us and tame them like wolves, otherwise they will want to tame us in turn." ”

Qianhua was silent, she wanted to reflect, but she was not in the mood for the time being.

"Thousand birches." Liu Yun was a little scary as serious.

"Yes." Qianhua straightened up.

"I want to hand over the throne to you along with the group, you still have a lot to learn, hold on to yourself, don't let me down."

"Zhilu Dao ......"

"If you can't grow up, the position of group leader will hurt you, I won't let you take risks if you are not prepared, but even if you don't become the group leader, it doesn't matter, then you will have more time to focus on things other than specific government affairs, stand taller, look farther......"

"I'm conscious of this."

Liu Yun nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, Dad's words are finished, don't think too much, go to bed early, good night." ”

"Good Night ......"

When Liu Yun was about to walk to the door, he suddenly turned around and emphasized: "Remember, the group is the empire, the empire is the group, and only the group can give you everything you want." ”

Qianhua nodded vigorously.

Yes, the group, if you want to gain strength, you must first integrate into the group, stay away from the group, and rely only on the protection of your father, how far can you go?

The group is you, you are the group.

For this, first of all, you must destroy all your prejudices, indifference, and inexplicable resentment, and without an iron will and burning blood, nothing can be achieved.

To be a father, or to be a burden to a father, choose a path.

Qianhua curled up in the sofa tiredly, kicked off her beautiful dancing shoes, hugged her knees, and closed her eyes in a daze.

What you want to change, you have to change, what you want to destroy, you are doomed to destruction, from today on, you have to learn to transform, you have to find those souls who are suitable to be fathers, and piece them together into a new self, a king who recognizes cruelty, adheres to ideals, and burns life.

Yes, the King, the Queen's Road, from this day on, irresistible fate, has become hard and spacious under the feet.

So......

A few days later, Fengze Garden, Juxiang Book House.

Foreign Minister Mourning is introducing Liu Yun to the key members of the upcoming Ethiopian mission.

"This is Ye Hua, the ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary sent to Egypt, who has served as consul in Aden, Mumbai, and Batavia, and has recently served as deputy director of the new Africa Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Liu Yun looked at the young ambassador introduced by Mo Ning for a long time, and nodded with a sigh: "It's very young." ”

"The emperor is wise, and the minister is Chinese New Year's Eve years old." Ye Hua, who had thick eyebrows and bright eyebrows, replied respectfully.

"Young man, motivated. Minister Mo said that you have a lot of research on Africa, and you must have been prepared for going to Ethiopia for a long time. ”

"Yes, after receiving the appointment, the minister did not dare to slack off, carefully studied the situation in Egypt day and night, sorted out the causes and consequences, and sorted them out one by one, and did not dare to say that there was nothing missing, at least he knew it well." Ye Hua was obviously confident, and he actually threw out such high-profile words as he knew everything.

"Then tell me what is the current situation inside and outside Egypt? What are the difficulties of the mission? ”

"Egypt's current situation is, in a word, surrounded by European powers, with Italy and Eritrea in the northeast, Anglo-occupied Sudan and East Africa in the west and south, France and Djibouti in the northeast, Anglo-occupied Somalia in the east, Italy and Somalia in the southeast, and Germany in the near future to establish a colony, known as German Somalia."

Comparing the history of another time and space, except for the sudden appearance of German Somalia, it is still roughly the same.

Liu Yun didn't speak, and nodded to signal Ye Hua to continue.

"In addition, although the United States and Russia have no territory adjacent to Egypt, they have signed treaties, sent missions, and enjoyed special privileges, especially Russia, whose military personnel are stationed in the Egyptian General Staff as advisers, pointing fingers, and the great powers are ......often dissatisfied."

"The fundamental difficulty of the mission lies in the fact that it has no foundation, the great powers have coveted Egypt for a long time, and they have an early opportunity to play chess, and they also practice Christianity with Egypt, which is conducive to communication and ......."

Liu Yun listened carefully, turned to Mo Ning and said, "Since this is the case, is there a countermeasure?" ”

"Yes, as a countermeasure, the mission should try to show the prestige of the empire to the Egyptian nation as much as possible, and for this purpose it will bring a number of sophisticated weapons, some books, photo albums and atlases of the war against Russia, and also prepare specially produced films and commentary scripts, in an effort to achieve the most intuitive and shocking impression on the other side. Secondly, the mission will also express our sincerity as much as possible, to convey to the other side that we have no intention of sovereignty over Egypt, that we will provide the greatest possible assistance to Egypt's economic and military construction, and at the appropriate time, to imply that the Empire wishes to enter into some form of alliance with Egypt......"

"Take two planes and give them an eye-open." Liu Yun interjected coldly.

"The emperor is wise, and in addition to airplanes, he has also prepared nationally made rifles, carbines, light and heavy machine guns, mountain artillery, field artillery, mortars, and so on, and at the same time has drawn up a list of extremely preferential arms prices, which are at least half cheaper than those of other countries, and can be bartered.
