2612. Chapter 2612

Chapter 2612

In order to welcome Bai Letong out of seclusion, everyone immediately ordered wine and food and held a temporary banquet to celebrate his success. However, Bai Letong himself was not overjoyed. To him, it was just that he had completed a boring task.

, far from being called meritorious service.

Tao Hongfang toasted Bai Letong with a glass of wine, and then asked: "Logically speaking, the invigilator should wait until the results are released before the invigilator can come out of the Gongyuan? You are back so soon, will there be no problem?"

Bai Letong waved his hand and said: "It's not that strict... I won't participate in the marking, and I can't meet with the marking officials during the period. I will actually become an idler once the exam is over, so I don't have to stay in Gongyuan to wait for the results to be released. Besides, that

The place is really uncomfortable. After staying in there for more than ten days, people are almost rotten. It would be better to come out early."

Having said that, the other people who served as invigilators with him in this rural examination could not come out of Gongyuan so quickly. According to official regulations, they had to wait until after the results were released to participate in the invigilation and marking of this provincial examination.

Only then could the officials regain their freedom. Bai Letong's ability to leave Gongyuan so quickly was already a special case. If it weren't for his special status, he probably wouldn't have been able to enjoy such treatment.

But if Shi Diwen had accepted Bai Letong's suggestion and made drastic changes to the question plan for the provincial examination, then Bai Letong might not only be the invigilator during this period, but also have to participate in the subsequent grading and review work.

.

However, this provincial examination ultimately adopted the old system of setting questions, which for Bai Letong has lost the possibility of participating in the marking. The knowledge he has learned since childhood came from the professors of his father's generation, which is very different from traditional Confucianism.

, although he has read classics such as the Four Books and Five Classics, he is far less proficient than ordinary Confucian scholars. He cannot write eight-legged essays, let alone review them.

Bai Letong was already dissatisfied with the arrangements for the provincial examination. At the moment, he just wanted to finish the job quickly. Naturally, he had no intention of getting ahead. He couldn't wait to leave as soon as the examination was over. He may not be as interested in follow-up work as Tao Hongfang.

Waiting for others. He just wants to change the environment quickly so that the emotions accumulated in the Gongyuan these days can be released.

Bai Letong took the initiative to turn the topic to the upcoming mission: "Hongfang, I have been in Gongyuan these days. You should have applied to Sanya, right? Have you heard any response?"

When they were sent to Hangzhou, they were not assigned an overseas mission. As a mission of this level involves the diplomatic field, they cannot participate in it by themselves. They must first apply to Sanya and obtain approval before they can go.

If their parents feel that this trip is too risky, or they feel that they are not competent, then they will have to give up the plan.

Tao Hongfang nodded and said: "Fortunately, Fort Victory has agreed to temporarily authorize us to represent our respective departments as envoys to North Korea and Japan."

Tao Hongfang also considered his own shortcomings and emphasized two points in the application report sent back to Sanya. First, the trip was escorted by the armed forces of the East China Sea Fleet throughout the trip, so there would not be too many security problems; second,

With the experienced Shi Chengwu and Wang Anguo serving as the mission's chief and deputy envoys, they can properly handle issues in the diplomatic field.

For these young people who lack experience in overseas activities, if there is no such guarantee, the possibility of Sanya agreeing to temporarily change their itinerary is very slim.

Facts have proved that Tao Hongfang's strategy still had a significant effect. His application was quickly approved by Fort Victory. This was also the first time for several of them to visit other countries as members of a diplomatic mission.

Bai Letong said: "It went so smoothly? That's a big mistake!"

Tao Hongfang said: "Don't be too eager to be happy. Although Fort Victory agreed to let us go, it did not intend to let us move freely, so it also set some rules for us."

"Are you worried that we might get into trouble if we go out?" Bai Letong said with a smile, "What are the rules? Tell me and listen."

As Bai Letong said, it was difficult for their parents to feel completely at ease with these novices who were on their first overseas mission, so while approving the action, they also had to restrict their freedom of action.

The first is that during the mission, one must obey the orders of the envoys Shi Chengwu and Wang Anguo, and must not act without authorization. The second is that they must not hold private talks with foreign officials to discuss military and political affairs. The third is to complete the mission. After that, you need to return home as soon as possible and are not allowed to stay overseas for a long time.

Ha Jianyi said: "I went to Zhoushan a few days ago and saw officials from North Korea and Japan stationed there. They were all subservient and humble. How can there be any difficulty in dealing with them?"

Ning Zijing shook his head and retorted: "That's not necessarily the case. People may be groveling in front of you because they are afraid of your identity. When they are in their own land, they may not be so humble."

Tao Hongfang also nodded in agreement: "I have also heard that the domestic situation in these two countries is not harmonious. There are still a few people who believe that resistance measures should be taken against our country, so there is no harm in being careful."

Haihan has been grabbing wealth from North Korea and Japan for a long time, which will inevitably affect the interests of some local people. These people may be forced by Haihan's force and dare not take public resistance measures, but they rely on their status as a local snake to cause trouble in private. He still has the courage, and it often makes the Haihan people, as outsiders, hard to guard against.

Some of the internal documents that Tao Hongfang had access to recorded some accidents that domestic businessmen encountered in overseas countries over the years, including, of course, North Korea and Japan. Generally speaking, it was due to interest disputes that triggered conflicts with local Human conflicts, financial disputes, land ownership, and payment delivery are the most common inducements.

These interest disputes are sometimes used by anti-Haihan forces to intensify them and even escalate them into armed conflicts. Therefore, the resulting casualties occur almost every year. Although Haihan will put pressure on local officials afterwards They have come forward to deal with the people involved, but in the end it is difficult to completely prevent such incidents from happening.

Of course, this is only the situation among the people. In comparison, the situation at the official level is much better. Officials stationed in these two countries have basically had no security problems. As for the senior officials who represented Haihan as envoys, they were even more concerned locally. You will be treated as a distinguished guest and taken care of in every aspect.

However, considering the identities of Tao Hongfang and others, there will definitely be strict security measures, and Shi Chengwu will probably not let them go out privately, so there should not be too much of a security problem.
