Simpson shook his head helplessly. ”Why bother?” I know I won't be able to see them, but why waste my time and energy? ”
”Tsk tsk … You are a foreigner who does not understand the ways of the Great Qing Kingdom! They actually know that the Head of State will not see them, but they still need to go through the process! ”
”They just want to use this kind of humble attitude to flatter us! To prove their sincerity to the Head of State in this way! Even if there was a one in ten thousand chance of that happening? There's nothing wrong with trying to fight for it! ”
”In addition, they still have to consider what if they do not come out and hand over their books to the Head of State and let him know about it. What if they are angry with themselves?”
Maybe the Head of State does not care, for what you have done was basically useless! ”But you have to do this even if it's useless. What if you don't go through this, don't do this surface talk, and anger Shangguan Zi?”
”Sometimes, your attitude doesn't necessarily mean that you will be promoted to the government and become rich. This attitude is often a necessary method for you to avoid disaster!”
”Do you understand? Sigh... It seems like you, Old man, do not understand my Great Qing Kingdom's profound knowledge of being an official! ”
”Let's go!” I've booked a room. ”Let's sleep on a stable bed tonight!”
The philosophy of becoming an official in the East had broadened Simpson's horizons. He previously thought that the relationships between the upper and lower houses of London, which were in charge of each other, were already the world's most sophisticated official operating system!
But when he saw the entire Great Qing Empire's huge and bloated bureaucratic system operating according to its own pattern, he had to admit that this set of Chinese s were much more complicated and astute than his own set of British s!
These red tape, these old customs, in fact, all had their origins in his development, and contained a very deep knowledge of human networks and psychology!
Just like today, Liu Peiqi had let him open his eyes. Actually, sometimes people don't need to dream about promotion just because they fawned on him. In fact, he had more intentions to force a disaster!
If I can't mess with you, can't I hide from you? It was impossible for such thoughts to exist in the official circles of China. If you are not willing to flatter me, if you are not willing to let this muddy water flow, then you will have nowhere to run to!
You have nowhere to go, where do you want to hide and where is the paradise?
Once you enter this muddy pit, you must learn to adapt to it. Sometimes it is impossible for you to escape even if you want to.
When Simpson's group of Merchant ships continued to move forward and docked at the High Mail wharf, they realized that the three gunboats were aggressively seizing the most water level of the wharf.
In the narrow Grand Canal, these three ships were like giants that caused people to panic!
When Simpson disembarked, he saw with his own eyes that many ignorant people in many places secretly kowtowed to these three cannons.
”Kowtow quickly!” This was the Far who had won against the France madly in Europa! This is a godly battleship from Yang Wei overseas! ”
”Hurry, hurry, kowtow to protect you …”
”Mother... ”I already said that this isn't the case, this is a cannon ship …” The child wanted to say a few more words, but was slapped back by the mother!
”You don't understand shit! This is the Battleship who won the battle... Your Kid doesn't like to study and only likes to practice martial arts, so you have to break out of this … To be able to bask in the joy of returning with victory, it would be good to take the Martial High Scholar exam in the future! ”
”Worst of all, learn how fat it is for your uncle to be a fast catcher in the County Yamen! Every year, I will never be able to finish it. Quickly kowtow... ”
