Four hundred and fifty-one chapters slip away
"Uncle... can I say something you don't like to hear?" Bo Jiao listened to Hong Tao's words while writing in the notebook, and then grinned. His understanding of his uncle deepened, and the image of Hong Tao, who had been subverted many times in his mind was once again.
"I basically don't like to listen to what you said." Hong Tao thought Bo Jiao was going to give up, so he was a little helpless.
"I think you are becoming more and more sinister... You can do these things before you resign. As long as you glar at the parliament and scold them, you really can't grab any blind thing and beat them up. The next day they promised to approve it. If you are happy, you can convince anyone, and my grandfather and grandfather will still support you. There will be no officer in the entire Royal Navy who dares to vote against it. But after you resign, throw this problem to me, then hide behind to watch the fun, and let me charge in front of you. I am a little doubtful now whether your resignation was planned in advance. I have grown up with you since I was a child. Otherwise, you should call Wen Nan back and let him bear the thunder!" Who dares to say that Bo Jiao has no political mind? Hong Tao pulled out his pistol and killed him immediately!
"You have a little bit of the imperial prime minister now!"
"If you think about problems in the future, you have to think of this. Take a few more turns and think of all possibilities. Don't think that there is anything impossible. This is the basic skill of being an official. But my uncle told you clearly that you guessed wrong this time. I am not that bad guy. I deliberately dig a hole for you to jump, and I also plotted with you and the whole family."
"I was forced to resign this time. If I don't resign, I have to break the rules I set with my own hands. This is absolutely impossible. In addition, I don't want to see the empire violate the development route I planned, so I can only resign. From this point of view, I am not a qualified imperial prime minister. I am a more extreme and lazy person. I don't have the determination and courage to fight for my goals for life. Don't learn from me."
"My uncle is really tired. He has to grind his teeth with the people in the parliament all day long. Since you are here, let's take this offense for me. Who made you get on my boat? Now it's time for you to repay me. There's never free learning skills. I have to pay it back sooner or later. This is your life!"
Hong Tao was very pleased that Bo Jiao said he was insidious and thought that he was so bad. If he thought about it like this, it would be better if he could just think about it. Just like compassion and Bo Jiao, he could have been together without hesitation a few years ago. Now they have their own plans. Although friendship has faded, their thoughts have matured. Friendship is not suitable for use in officialdom. It is hidden in the heart, and occasionally it is worth looking for taste and adjusting their emotions.
Hong Tao and Bo Jiao chatted all day, and went out for dinner and midnight snacks together in the evening. Of course, they were all paid by Bo Jiao. This kid is now one of the biggest rich men in the empire. He and Matini are both local emperors. The local policies of the empire cannot control them. They have long been private ownership. They are still guarding Kalamba Port, the most prosperous trading port in the world. Eating him for two meals is drizzling. Even if you eat him for half a year, at most, you will lose a decorative gem on his ship. So Hong Tao not only eats it, but also packs it at home, and the amount of it is several times that of two people.
Emperor Hong said that there are four children in the family. They are all your cousins. Shouldn’t you ask you to pay for a meal?
Expanding the fleet is a trivial matter. It was easy to pass the parliamentary approval, but the issue of reforming the military system became complicated. This was not only a problem with the conscription system, but also involved too many aspects. Bo Jiao's handling method was very similar to Hong Tao's intentions. He neither hurriedly threw out this set of things to scare everyone, nor did he drag it out indifferently.
After talking to Hong Tao, Bo Jiao went to find Kong Pei. They were old friends in the Royal Navy. They knew each other well and even said more than Hong Tao. Kong Pei supported the national compulsory military service system with both hands and feet. Officials like him who were promoted from civilians wanted to reduce the privileges of the emperor and officials in their bones. However, they had different opinions on the issue of gun possession. He was the Minister of National Defense. He could not stand aside and watch the fun in this matter. If something happened, he would be directly responsible for him.
According to Kong Peihe's intention, the military service system of the whole militia can be proposed immediately, and he believes there will be no great resistance. However, it is better for the soldiers' weapons to be kept by the army first. This will not only be safe, but also reduce the number of guns issued and reduce the country's financial pressure.
However, his suggestion was rejected by Bo Jiao. Bo Jiao insisted on tying the military service system and gun-holding issue together and submitted it to the parliament for approval. Ren Kongpei could not convince him no matter how he said it, so he had to agree with Bo Jiao's proposal in principle.
Then Bo Jiao started a long and arduous public relations work. Although he was Bo Fu's grandson, it was not easy to convince the stubborn old man to send all his children to the army. Not only him, almost all the senior officials of the empire were unhappy. According to their ideas, it would be enough to have a child to join the army and contribute to the country. Why do you go there? It is necessary whether it is male or female?
Bo Jiao was not stumped by their attitude. Hong Tao had given him a vaccination for this thing, and he was mentally prepared enough. He said it directly that it was not successful, and said it sideways, and said it sideways. No matter which aspect it was, it was a purpose, which was to make these old men agree with their own opinions. If they really couldn't agree, they would keep their opinions and not object, and communicate slowly in the future.
"Bojiao is crazy. He is at home all day long, and he uses all the tricks of crying, making trouble and hanging. He says that the grandfather does not support him as prime minister. If the first proposal at the beginning of his term of office is passed, he will have no place to let go of his face. He will take his children and his wife back to Kalamba, and he will never come back in his life and will have no shame to come back." The only person in Bo's family who has not been harassed by Bo Jiao was Bozhu, but Bozhu saw it and could not feel it without feeling. He could not hold it in his arms and could only talk to Hong Tao.
"You should not mix this matter, it is best to listen less. The children are about to start school. I have fun with me every day these days. I am a little wild. It's time to collect it. You have to do this job." Hong Tao was holding his wife at this time and was about to hold hands. Bozhu is no longer the sacred woman who had no fat on her body before. After giving birth to two children, she also gained a little fat. However, Hong Tao did not dislike him. He liked Bozhu's screams when he was so passionate that he was very strong. Even for the sake of family harmony, he had to hold hands with Bozhu more. When there were too many women, it was a time to test the wisdom of men's life. Many inadvertent small things worked the most.
"You honestly tell me if Bo Jiao's idea was made by you! He has never had such a fuss with his family. Now that he has grown up, why has he gotten into trouble? And the things he said, the more I hear it, the more I feel like you are!" Bo Zhu was very satisfied with her husband, and she was not really angry because Hong Tao had married a few more wives. She understood that Senya and Baixiang were not the choice of her husband. As for whether Hong Tao had women outside, she would not worry about that. There were not many women in this era who could be on par with her husband, and it was easy to be content.
"Is that right? You can hear it, and others will not be stupider than you. It seems that I have to go out and hide! If this matter is tied to me by them, not only will Bo Jiao not get any benefits, but others will also think more... I will take Cixi and her family to Cape Town tomorrow and plant our tobacco. This is a big deal. In the future, our family will have to live on these small leaves." After hearing Bo Zhu's words, Hong Tao stopped even the magic claws that had been wandering on his wife's body. His little eyes were dripping around, and he felt the smell of danger and was about to run away immediately.
"Let's go again! You can't stay at home for a few more days. Now you are not the prime minister and are still so busy! You are the emperor, can they still eat you?" Bo Zhu instinctively pouted. Although she did not restrict Hong Tao's activities, which wife would not see her husband for several months a year.
"Hehehe... I won't leave in vain. Before I leave, I have to listen to you sing, and then give birth to a princess and other things for me... Don't hide! This is the imperial edict!" Unfortunately, she caught up with Hong Tao, a perfect combination of two-skinned faces and shamelessness, and it was useless to say it.
