Song Erniu walked around the tea room and gained a lot of famous people. The owners of these famous people were all respectable people in North America, otherwise they wouldn't be able to fly first class!
But most of them are business people, and there are no political people among them. This does not mean that there are no politicians in the first class cabin, but people in the political world are in a circle, and people in the business world are in a same circle. Naturally, they will not be there when they first get on the ship. He ran to a group of business people to join in the fun.
I heard that there was a real top dignitary on today's flight back to his homeland with his family. The political people in the first class cabin basically thought they were qualified, so they all went to greet him and join in the fun.
As for Song Erniu and his group of pure businessmen, it sounds like they are the upper class in North America, but they are still not good enough in front of the real powerful people, let alone whether they have the qualifications to join the upper class. Song Erniu didn't even know that there were people before. I only heard someone mention it at a tea party that such a top dignitary took a boat ride.
As for the top dignitary in Song Erniu's mouth, the Great Chu Empire's political participation in North America, Marquis Anding Yu Chenlin also sent away a group of guests who came to visit him, and then sat on the soft sofa and sighed: "Five years in North America. My career is finally over!”
Anding Hou Yu Chenlin was the first generation Anding Hou of the Chu Empire and the son of General Xiu Jie, the army general of the Chu Empire.
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 responsible for the logistics affairs of many large-scale battles during the Unification War of the empire.
This is also one of the few founding generals among the senior generals who have never been on the battlefield, but have achieved the rank of general and have a very high reputation within the army.
Although General Yu Xiujie has never been on any battlefield, let alone led troops to fight, he does a good job in logistics. He can arrange all the food, grass and ammunition needed for the army ahead to march and fight.
That alone is enough.
After all, in a war, troops and horses move forward before food and grass are used. This shows the importance of logistics work.
In addition, as the early Minister of Logistics of the Da Chu Empire, it can be said that he single-handedly established the military logistics system of the Da Chu Empire. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the father of military logistics in the Da Chu Empire.
These achievements made him one of the founding generals of the Great Chu Empire, and he was awarded the title of Marquis of Anding. The original title was inherited for three generations, and after three generations, the title was reduced to baron.
Of course, in fact, all nobles who made great achievements during the founding of the country and were awarded the title of marquis or above received the preferential treatment of inheriting the original title for three generations, and after three generations, the title was reduced to baron.
After all, they followed you, Luo Zhixue, in their early banditry stage, carried out rebellion with their heads in their waistbands, and played an important role. It is normal for Luo Zhixue to give them the special treatment of a hereditary title.
Luo Zhixue treated the heroes of the founding period relatively well. Although he gradually regained military power and other rights in the future, they still had no shortage of glory and wealth.
As long as you don't be stupid in the future, you will have a hundred years of glory and wealth. Of course, it's another matter if you seek death yourself.
In recent years, there have been many nobles who were punished for being stupid and causing outrage, and some were even demoted for this reason. But overall, the status of the founding nobles of the Great Chu Empire was relatively stable.
Yu Xiujie is one of them. After the end of the Eastern Capture War, he voluntarily resigned from the post of Minister of Logistics, but continued to serve as the Minister of Military Affairs of the Military Academy with the rank of Army General, 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 military service and transferred to reserve service.
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 of the People's Republic of China... After all, it could be said that the world was at peace at that time, and the continued external expansion was supported by the new generation of generals.
On the one hand, these senior generals who founded the country are easily feared by His Majesty; on the other hand, they will also block the way of those who come after...
There are only so many high-level positions in the military. If these founding generals have occupied them for a long time, then newcomers will not be able to rise...
In order to have a good death and maintain dignity, many people choose to retreat bravely. Even in their prime, they will choose to beg for bones.
He has been holding on to his position for a long time. Even if His Majesty doesn't move them, those ambitious subordinates will still have to mess with him...or His Majesty will acquiesce in allowing those ambitious subordinates to mess with him...
So this has nothing to do with ability or age, but that you should take a back seat when the time comes, otherwise it will easily become the focus of conflicts...
Of course, there were only a few generals who were able to make it all the way through the unification war. They were very knowledgeable about these things, so they consciously retired when the time came.
Some of them will move to politics and continue to work in politics. In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, a large number of senior civilian officials were actually transferred to the post after military generals retired.
There are also some who will go to the Zongfu Mansion to take up idle positions and continue to maintain their reputation as officials. Only the clan and nobles can hold high-level positions in the Zongwu Mansion, and ordinary civil servants cannot hold them.
Others have completely withdrawn from officialdom and started enjoying life or doing business.
It was at that time that Yu Xiujie chose to retire and went to the Zongfu Mansion to take a job as a casualty to provide for his retirement. However, his life was only average. After enjoying the blessings for more than ten years, he died of illness in the 30th year of Chengshun.
The title of Marquis Anding was inherited by his eldest son Yu Chenlin.
The title of Marquis Anding can be inherited by the original title 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 service before inheriting the title, and was already a fourth-grade prefect 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 as a political participant, starting from the third rank!
That year, he was only thirty-two years old!
Although he was able to become a prefect at such a young age because of his good abilities, he undoubtedly had a great help from his family background.
Because he is the prince of An Dinghou, and for nobles and noble heirs, the Chu Empire has preferential treatment for becoming an official.
Nobles and heirs of nobility, including non-hereditary baronets who have no actual title to inherit (the 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 knight (a knighthood is a lifelong title and cannot be inherited) Inheritance), the above-mentioned powerful nobles and their heirs all have the privilege of preferential treatment when entering officialdom.
If you want to join the military, high school graduates can directly enter the three major military academies without taking the exam. If you enter the three major military academies, you will actually obtain the status of an officer, because students of the three major military academies will be awarded the rank of warrant officer as soon as they enroll.
If you want to work in politics, those with a high school or technical secondary school degree or above can become an official directly without taking the exam. A high school or technical secondary school degree will be awarded from the ninth grade, a junior college degree will be awarded from the eighth grade, and a four-year undergraduate degree will be awarded from the eighth grade.
Of course, there are some limitations to the scope of being an official directly without taking the exam. For example, some administrative agencies have professional requirements, especially judicial agencies, and you cannot enter without corresponding academic background.
You can't let a person who has never had any contact with the judiciary go to the Inspectorate to become a censor... In addition to logistics and administrative positions, all other positions in the Inspectorate in the Dachu Empire require a graduate from the law department, and professional positions as censors are required. , basically only college students majoring in law.
I started out as a three-year college student. If I want to go to a better place, such as the Inspectorate in a big city, I have to be a four-year law undergraduate from a good school.
If you want to enter the Gyeonggi Central Supervisory Office, basically don’t expect it if you are not from the Imperial College of Law...
As for Guozijian University, its status in the Chu Empire was equivalent to that of the Qing Dynasty and the Northern Qing Dynasty in later generations. It was the top in both science, engineering and liberal arts.
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 Imperial College is not the common choice of top students in the Chu Empire. In fact, the first choice for quite a few top students, especially those who want to become officials, is the three major military academies!
The prospects of attending the three major military academies are equally promising, whether in the military or in politics.
If you can succeed in the army, you can become a general. If you can't do well, you can change your career to become a civil servant in your thirties... It can also save the early years of working as a grassroots civil servant. If you change your career in your thirties, you can start as a good mid-level official. What's the job?
Generally speaking, in the current Great Chu Empire, science monsters all go to the Royal Institute of Technology to win the so-called scientific research knighthood and embark on the path to the pinnacle of life.
Some of the monsters in liberal arts went to join the army... Don't ask why they studied history. The monsters in literature went to the military academy just to become officials... So in the army of the Great Chu Empire, there were actually many academic masters, and many of them were literary. He is a master of science and picks up poems and articles casually.
There are also some liberal arts monsters, but those who don't want to suffer the hardships of joining the army, or whose physical condition is not up to par, go to the Imperial College.
In addition, young geniuses in liberal arts or science and engineering who are not evil but have very good grades will also apply for the Imperial College.
Therefore, in the contemporary Chu Empire, Guozijian University is still very good. Not to mention 100% of its graduates, but nine out of ten are officials, so Guozijian University is also called a preparatory school for civil servants. Comparable to a large military academy.
There is a situation here, that is, the top students in the Chu Empire applied for the Royal Institute of Technology, Imperial College, and the three major military academies. The graduates of these schools will enter the officialdom (students of the Royal Institute of Technology will enroll one by one) grade).
It can be seen from this that in the Chu Empire, most of the students in the Chu Empire worked hard and studied hard in order to become officials. They have a simple and simple tradition among Chinese students for thousands of years: study to become officials!
When a large number of outstanding talents are flocking to the officialdom, the official standards for selecting talents are naturally getting higher and higher, among which the recruitment requirements of the Inspectorate are the highest.
When students apply for the position of censor in the Inspectorate, the average academic qualification is the highest.
There is no way, if you don't study law, you won't be able to do this job... After all, the censor is actually the official lawyer in many cases, filing various public prosecutions, how can you do it if you are not proficient in law.
Furthermore, the status of the Inspectorate was quite special in the Great Chu Empire. The censors had a high social status and also had great real power.
The censor in a place, even a small censor of the seventh or eighth grade, is a knife hanging over the heads of many local officials... Countless officials, especially unclean and corrupt officials, eventually The most terrifying scenario is being targeted by a censor, and then being used as a sacrifice by the censor for promotion and wealth...
Because the censors of the Great Chu Empire wanted to be promoted and make a fortune, but other political achievements were not easy to achieve... Luo Zhixue personally set the standards for the censors of the Supervisory Council back then. Public prosecutions and the like were all essential work, and they should be done well. That’s right, but if you want to get extra points and quickly get promoted and make a fortune... then there is only one way: fight against corruption!
As long as you are bold enough and capable enough, if you pull down the administrative leader like your local prefect or county magistrate, you will be promoted quickly tomorrow.
After a censor is promoted to a certain level, it is basically difficult to move up to the next level without pulling down a heavyweight official (compared with his own grade).
The number of officials killed and the rank of the officials killed are the seniority medal of a censor.
How can you be promoted if you don’t have enough qualifications?
And censors who engage in anti-corruption and bring down corrupt officials often have a good reputation among the people and have a high social status... They are promoted quickly and earn a lot of money. The censors in the Inspectorate are treated very well. , in addition to the official salary and benefits, because the Supervisory Office often conducts public prosecutions, there will be some fines and the like. In order to be proactive in handling cases at the grassroots level, the Empire will give part of the fines obtained in these cases as bonuses to the censor handling the case, so This case-handling bonus is also quite large...all in all, the legal income will not be worse than that of outside lawyers.
You have a high social status, a high income, and a lot of power... Well, if one day you walk into the gate of a certain government office with a straight face and a few patrol officers, the officials working inside will be frightened. Anyone who cannot bear it will be scared to death on the spot...
Everyone thinks that they have been discovered for corruption or something, and that you are here to arrest them!
Catching corrupt officials can also satisfy a sense of justice... This is also very popular among young people.
The special characteristics of these inspectorate colleges have resulted in a large number of young students who want to go to the inspectorate colleges.
As more people want to go here, the competition will naturally increase, so the application requirements are getting higher and higher.
Under such circumstances, it would not be easy even for a noble prince to go to the Inspectorate...
After Yu Chenlin graduated from university, he directly entered the Ministry of Industry and Commerce without taking the exam. He started at the eighth grade... and because of his family background, he found work very smooth!
This smoothness does not mean that it is easy, but that he can participate in anything that has the opportunity to make meritorious deeds... Although he is still exhausted, it is easy to make meritorious service and get promoted.
And when it was time for promotion after his meritorious service, no one dared to hold him back.
Therefore, he was promoted very quickly. At the age of thirty-two, he had already become a third-level political participant.
But this also comes at a price. Promotion is possible, but the place assigned is not so good, so you can only work overseas.
This is also in line with the policy of the empire. In order to make officials willing to work overseas, officials who go to serve overseas are generally given preferential treatment. They are usually promoted to one level when they go, and another level after their term of office is over.
Otherwise, many officials are actually unwilling to leave their prosperous and comfortable homeland to work in overseas territories or even colonies where they are unfamiliar.
In fact, Yu Chenlin relied on this policy to successfully be promoted to Congsanlin, where he served as a political participant in North America and was mainly in charge of agricultural work.
I have been working here for five years...from the 33rd year of Chengshun to the 38th year of this year. I served for a full five years before resigning and returning to Beijing to report on my work and prepare to accept new work arrangements.
The ups and downs of the past five years have also made Yu Chenlin grow up a lot. At least he will not show off easily to the officials who come to visit him and win relations. No matter who comes, they will use formulaic expressions.
After sending away the visitors, Yu Chenlin returned to the suite to spend time with his family.
At this time, the Su Song also sounded its whistle, which was the signal to weigh anchor and set sail. At this time, he also took his family to the top deck.
As the ship weighed anchor, multiple high-thrust steam tugboats began to use their small bodies to push the huge Su Song slowly away from the dock.
When the ship slowly left the dock, many passengers on the ship waved to the people on the dock seeing them off.
As the Su Song was pushed away by the tugboat, the Su Song's already ignited and pressurized steam unit also began to officially output power. A three-blade propeller with a diameter of 4.2 meters in the middle under the stern began to rotate, providing power for the huge Su Song. The luxury liner provides the power to sail at low speeds.
After the ship entered the main channel of the port, the ship further accelerated and left the port. After leaving the port and entering the real sea, the two main propellers on both sides of the Su Song's stern, which were larger in diameter and reached 4.5 meters, also began to start.
Inside the cabin on the Su Song, a large number of boiler workers were shirtless and using shovels to continuously feed coal into the coal-fired furnace. The heat generated by the combustion of the coal heated the water in the water pipes and caused the water to boil to produce high-temperature and high-pressure steam. .
High-temperature and high-pressure steam is transmitted to the triple-expansion steam engine through pipelines, driving the huge piston to reciprocate. When the piston reciprocates, it also drives three huge power transmission shafts to rotate through the power transmission system.
The transmission shaft transmits power to the large propeller at the rear of the ship, pushing the propeller to rotate. The rotating propeller comes into contact with the seawater, and the reaction force generated pushes the speed of the huge Su Song to continuously increase.
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 fourteen knots. The bow of the ship kept cutting and beating the waves, and headed straight towards the endless depths of the ocean!
The Susong, the largest and fastest luxury ocean liner currently in service in the Dachu Empire, officially sets sail back to the mainland!
After the ship sailed stably, passengers in the first class cabin either walked and chatted on the exclusive top deck of the first class cabin, or entered other entertainment facilities on the ship, or listened to theater, music, or went to restaurants, etc. wait.
As a luxury ocean liner, the Susong provides passengers with not only an accommodation room, but also a wealth of entertainment facilities. Of course, these entertainment facilities are free of charge except for deck blowing, and the rest are basically chargeable items... The additional value-added services provided on board the ships are also a major business income of luxury liner.
Song Erniu was no exception. It was boring to stay in the room, and after the first few hours of socializing, he gradually lost the utilitarianism he had when he first boarded the ship, so he simply ran to the theater inside the ship to ask for After getting into a small box, we went to listen to the play.
He did not forget a group of subordinates after listening to the play. This time he returned to his hometown and had business assistants, namely Director Mo of the secretary office and two ordinary business secretaries.
In terms of daily life, she has two young and beautiful maids who take personal care of her and warm her bed; a housekeeper who is responsible for various itinerary matters; two ordinary attendants who help the housekeeper; a full-time coachman and four security guards.
There are more than a dozen people in total!
As for why I brought so many people back... This is a blind date back home... No, I'm going home to visit relatives, do you understand... If I don't do some tricks, people in my hometown, especially the Chen family in the county, will think he is Song Erniu. His millionaire net worth is a boast.
Even though he, Song Erniu, was born as a cowherd boy, he still had a reputation!
Furthermore, he, Song Erniu, could probably guess why the Chen family in the county wanted to marry him.
Isn’t it just because I have money?
If you don't show your money to others, how will they know whether you are really rich or fake?
Sometimes if you want to get respect, no matter what form of respect you have, you must first show your strength...
If you pretend to be a poor loser, don't blame others for treating you like a poor loser.
If you are pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, you may feel comfortable being the protagonist, but if you are a third party watching, it won't feel so good.
Such a big billionaire, pretending to be a poor boy... The key is that he really talks and behaves like a poor guy!
Another one where I look down on everyone because I am the most awesome person, slapping the villains in the face one by one, and when the villains can't stand it anymore and start to fight back, you can smile crookedly and say, "I am a billionaire. I can bankrupt your father's company with just a wave of my hand..."
When you meet such a person, it’s always best to stay away!
Not because I'm afraid of trouble, but because I'm disgusted!
