When Cai Jing heard this, his eyelids jumped wildly. He just raised his hand that was about to reach for the ruler, and finally slowly took it back.
Don't be angry. It's not worth getting angry with this evil beast. Business is more important.
"Well, Dad has figured it out. A good man should have his ambitions in all directions.
If you want to go outside Bianliang, Tokyo, now you have an opportunity. "
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a snap, and Cai Jing saw Liulang slap the desk hard, stood up excitedly, grinned and rubbed his palm.
"Dad, I don't know where I want my child to go to become the magistrate of a state? Let's make a deal first. I won't go to those small states. With my talents, it is really difficult to use them in a land hundreds of miles away..."
Cai Jing's face darkened at a speed visible to the naked eye, as dark as the broken iron pot used to burn paper in the ancestral hall of Taiwei Gao's family.
You are the sixth child and you don’t even use your brain. How high a rank are you now? You actually want to be the governor of the state, why don't you say you want to be the prime minister, and you will be in the same class as your father and me.
Cai Laoliu, who was so proud and felt that he, the unicorn son of the Cai family, had finally given up and was about to become famous, suddenly felt something hard pushing against his belly.
He lowered his gaze and saw the end of the ruler pressed against his stomach.
The other end was held tightly in the hands of his own father, whose face was darkened and his eyes were about to burst into flames.
Cai Laoliu sat down obediently without saying a word. "Dad, if we have something to talk about, please don't do anything, okay?"
"Huh!" Cai Jing snorted, slowly took back the ruler that almost tore Cai Laoliu's skin and flesh, and put it on the table.
"Don't even think about it, Zhizhou. However, my father racked his brains for you and finally convinced the officials to arrange a position that is very suitable for you."
"What position?" Cai Laoliu couldn't help but ask again.
Looking at his biological son whose eyes were full of eagerness, Cai Jing slowly gave the answer.
"Deputy Governor, Deputy Governor of Liangzhe Road."
#####
When he heard the word governor, Cai Laoliu's face suddenly showed a look of ecstasy.
But when he heard the word "deputy envoy", Cai Laoliu's face darkened instantly, and he almost screamed subconsciously.
"The deputy one? Why not the main one?"
Cai Jing, who was extremely tired, said angrily when he saw his own son who didn't know how to remain calm when facing big events.
"Because the governor is your senior brother, Gao Zhang."
Cai Laoliu looked at his biological father in front of him blankly, his eyes full of sadness, as well as unspeakable despair and anger.
"Why is it him? Dad, have you accepted his benefits? Ah...it hurts."
"Damn it, that's what the officials ordered, do you understand that?!
Dad finally managed to secure the position of deputy envoy for you. You, kid, can you use your own brain? "
Rubbing his arm, which had been slapped a foot away by his own father, Cai Laoliu grinned and complained.
"As expected... the officials really don't know people."
"...Shut up! From now on, you only need to use your ears to speak for my father. If you dare to say one more word, I will let you lie here today."
Next, Cai Jing, who suppressed his inner anger, controlled his temper and told his biological son that he, the father, had finally managed to get the job of deputy envoy for Liu Lang.
So next, the most important thing for you is not to act recklessly outside, which will ruin big things and even ruin your career prospects.
"Your senior brother Gao Zhang is deeply favored by the officials, so after leaving Bianliang in Tokyo, you... you should listen to your senior brother Gao Zhang more and don't make decisions without authorization."
These words fell on Cai Laoliu's ears, and he felt that his father was clearly sarcastic that he had no brains and could not compare to his senior brother Gao Zhang, a ruthless and despicable person.
He wanted to retort a few words, but seeing his own father still fiddling with the ruler, Cai Laoliu could only shut up in frustration.
Fortunately, I thought that I could finally get rid of my father's shackles and leave Bianliang, Tokyo. At that time, wouldn't the sky be high enough for birds to fly, and the sea wide enough for me to leap?
Cai Laoliu's mood has finally improved a lot. For the time being, he will give in to his senior brother. When the time comes, he will definitely be able to make some outstanding achievements.
Hmm... By the way, what does a governor do? Cai Laoliu, who was already ambitious and wanted to do something big, suddenly thought of a very serious problem.
Cai Jing, who had been admonishing her sincerely for a long time, stopped talking. He picked up the tea and took a sip when he heard the inquiry from his son Cai Laoliu.
Cai Jing could only hold back and help Liulang learn more about it. The scope of authority of the governor in the Song Dynasty was quite broad.
It can be said that the governor has the right to deal with the public sentiment, disasters, prisons, even officials' illegal acts, or military emergencies in the places he inspects.
Hearing Cai Laoliu's heart become more and more turbulent, but when he thought that his deputy envoy had his senior brother Gao Zhang riding on his head, his mood became even less beautiful.
#####
After carefully explaining and admonishing Liu Lang, Cai Jing, who was thirsty and tongue-tied, finally let the boy go.
However, for Prime Minister Cai Jingcai, things are not over yet.
The reason why Cai Jing promoted his son Liulang to the position of deputy envoy was because he was confident that he would successfully establish the Hangzhou Shipping Department.
The first reason is naturally that Gao Zhang, the prodigy champion, is very talented and capable.
The second reason is naturally due to the father and son Zhu Chong and Zhu Meng. The father and son treated themselves with great courtesy as the prime minister.
Every year, he would also send himself a lot of money, silk and treasures. If such a member of his own family pushed him to the fat man of Shibosi, he would definitely be filial to him in the future.
With the talented Gao Zhang and the Zhu family and his son, setting up the Hangzhou Shipping Department was as easy as holding a snail with three fingers.
However, the officials were still hesitating, and Cai Jing was not surprised by this.
After all, in the past, almost all the chief officials of the Shipping Department came from the palace.
However, the official family had already made an exception for the Zhu family and his son in the Suzhou Yingfeng Bureau. As for Tan Zhen, he was just a little-known ordinary middle official in the palace.
Thinking of this, Cai Jing simply returned to the desk, picked up a pen, and after concentrating for a while, he began to write quickly.
In a short time, Cai Jing had already compiled a letter, called a confidant, and gave him careful instructions.
The confidant took the letter and took the order. In a short time, he galloped a fast horse from Cai Mansion, left Bianliang, Tokyo, and galloped towards the south of the Yangtze River.
This letter was naturally sent to Zhu Chong and Zhu Meng and his son. Cai Jing hoped that Zhu and his son would know the news in advance so that they could be prepared.
With the methods of the Zhu family and his son, and the cooperation of his son Cai Yao, it should not be difficult to let the Shibo Company fall into the hands of the Zhu family and his son.
