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... "

These common people who had never seen the world, were all first time seeing a Battleship that was made from pure Steel. In their eyes, such a huge iron armor ship that was several times bigger than the ships in canals was already a godly ship!

Simpson looked at those people who were kowtowing to the Battleship from far away and could not help but sigh. "If this kind of boat were to go to Pacific Ocean and Atlantic Ocean, it might not even be able to withstand a Level 10 Hurricane. These are all coastal defensive gunboats!"

"How can this type of ship defeat France …" They have really never seen Far before! "

His mouth was filled with regret for these foolish women, but his hands were not idle. He had taken a few photos of the Photos with his followers and Translation, the foreign lands he was bringing back to the Europa!

Back at the inn, before he had finished his dinner and was about to go for a walk, Liu Peiqi knocked on the door and smiled. Am I right? All of the Official s here did not receive any rewards, so let's not even see a single one! "

"He was given the wealthiest garden in this place for the Head of State to live in, but it was only enough for ten minutes of conversation. He just asked some questions about the local economy and so on!"

"It's all useless work …" But you are the only exception! "

"Me?" Simpson suddenly became excited. "Head of State wants to see me?"

"Of course I want to see you … But not now. Ha ha, seeing that you are so anxious, the adjutant that was sent over already said so. Of course, the Head of State knows of the reputation of the London's news and painting newspaper, and is grateful to the Newspaper for supporting the Chinese's series of reports! "

"After Beijing arrives, Head of State will give you enough time to interview him. You will also be allowed to take photos and portraits! How about it? I reminded you to hand over the book, right? "

That's good news, Simpson was so happy to have received such a promise. "Oh, thank you Mr. Liu … …" To celebrate that I should have offered you a drink, we. Eating supper, eating supper … "

"Alright!" I have long had the inn prepare the best wine, the dry tea at the head of the boundary, the praying mat meat, the goose in the water well, and the salted duck egg that is dripping with oil! "

"In the end, there will be the Yangchun noodles or the crabapple dumplings... It's so beautiful, just take out the silver! "

Simpson had long been a loyal fan of Chinese cuisine. In the days since he had landed in the Shanghai, he had been stupefied by the variety and variety of local delicacies!

In addition, he also discovered a special characteristic. The more expanded the area was along the waterway, the more delicious food there would be!

The benefits of business could be seen from this. If there was no Trader gathering all the food from all over the world, how could there be such a rich family?

This was a place Grand Canal had to pass through. There were many trading ports and dense population, and as a result, the entire city had countless Restaurant s and famous chefs were as numerous as the clouds!

Even if it was just a normal inn, Back Chef's standard was not difficult. After a few places of special snacks were served, the two of them ate to their heart's content!

Simpson knew that he had found a treasure. No matter what his identity or character was, this Liu Peiqi was definitely an old schemer in government. Finding some tricks from him would make the interview a lot easier!

For example, today, if not for his reminder, Simpson would have forgotten this great opportunity to hand over his business card!

"Mr. Liu, I want to toast you with this goblet of wine … Thank you for your guidance along the way. I hope that you can advise me in the future! "

Liu Peiqi quickly put down the oily duck egg in his hands and raised his cup with a smile, "I don't dare to accept your advice. When I have the chance in the future to go to Europa, I'll have to trouble mister Simpson to guide me there!"

"Of course, of course …"
