Liu Zhizhong seed mysteriously silent, nodded, and looked at Hamuer's shocked and expectant expression, saying, "Brother Ha, you understand the politics of Great East Pot, haha..."
Hamuer couldn't help but feel a sense of joy, unconsciously scratching his head and rubbing his hands, "This... this... the world indeed does not belong to the people; it belongs to the aristocratic families. We, being from average backgrounds, can just barely scrape by under the aristocrats' reign, and landing safely eventually is no easy feat. This arrangent by our old leader truly makes ... a little excited, haha..."
"Getting close to aristocratic families, becoming prosperous through them, and ultimately becoming an aristocratic family, is every poor family's dream! The poor family, do you understand, brother?"
Hamuer laughed, saying, "Poor families, descendants of fallen nobility, all belong to poor families!"
Liu Zhizhong raised his thumb in praise, "Indeed, my Brother Ha understands history and culture. Honestly, the Ha family truly is a poor family!"
"Yes... My ancestor Haruch was one of the founding kings of the court, later purged by the Emperor, sharing hardships but not blessings, and the descendants were exiled to a remote and impoverished region. Counting all this, it truly is a poor family."
"You've told this story before, and it's indeed a history of blood and tears! The Ha family's nine clans, three hundred people, lost too many to death, injuries, and illness along the way to exile, and by the ti they arrived at the location, only a few remained. Nevertheless, the spark of life has been passed down to you! Listen to my arrangent; soday if Tang Zhi becos the Great Dragon, you will be the Second Dragon; if Tang Zhi becos the Second Dragon, you will be the Third Dragon! Like your ancestor, you are destined to beco a one-word Shoulder King!"
"Ah? This..." Hamuer was utterly stunned, never daring to imagine achieving such greatness!
Originally, he was rely aiming to maintain Liu Zhizhong's "death-style," eventually retire at a proper level position.
If he tried hard, he could retire as a deputy minister, which would make life even more fulfilling.
Being from a minority, as long as he can act appropriately and perform, reaching deputy minister is not without hope.
Who knew that Liu Zhizhong returned alive, bringing a gift this enormous that rendered him speechless.
Liu Zhizhong patted his shoulder, understanding his feelings, saying, "Brother Ha, those who assist , I shall reciprocate them; look forward to good tis ahead, hehe..."
Hamuer laughed, his face full of excitent, "Life will get sweeter, won't it?"
"Hahaha, so it should be! However, when I go to Yunxi, you must rember to get a postgraduate degree while working, even a doctorate. This will co in handy later."
Hamuer chuckled, "Brother Zhizhong, in the years you've been away, I've already obtained my postgraduate degree."
"Ha! Haha... That's great, Brother Ha, you have big hopes, very big hopes, haha..."
Liu Zhizhong was indeed surprised but secretly relieved, the one he was hoping for truly was the one with expectations!
Such a forward-looking Hamuer, if he doesn't take off, who will?
Afterward, the two continued to chatter over tea joyfully; a mid-life political newcor accompanied by an old leader in his thirties, truly enjoying the mont.
Discussing heaven and earth, discussing the mortal world, they could talk about everything.
Of course, Hamuer also reported so related matters.
Among them, concerning Zhang Hongyang was certainly a key matter!
Zhang Hongyang was promoted from the position of the Dongguang State standing committee mber to deputy governor two years ago; this spring, he has returned to Yangzhou and now is the Yangzhou Mayor.
This year, Zhang Hongyang is only 37 years old and already a senior cadre, truly a rising star in regional politics!
The Zhang family started in Yangzhou, prospered in Yangzhou, and Zhang Hongyang finally fulfilled his father's wish, attaining high office and becoming the head of Yangzhou's governnt, quite remarkable.
Of course, both his real father and adoptive father are very pleased, right? Haha...
Hamuer spoke about Zhang Hongyang, saying he has changed a lot, not as arrogant as before, now more low-key in his work.
Although corruption is still present, it's beco more concealed, so chances of getting into trouble seem unlikely for him.
Hamuer said, "Last year, when I returned ho to worship my ancestors, I t with him too. He organized quite a grand welcoming ceremony which I could not refuse. When ntioning you, Zhang Hongyang was still regretful. He said, Liu Zhizhong was a talent; if he were still alive, Zhang Hongyang wouldn't be able to surpass him. Past grievances, when thoroughly analyzed, show my Zhang Hongyang was indeed at fault, too petty-minded. Brother Zhizhong possesses attributes that I can never fully comprehend; by reflecting on everything about him, I've learned and benefited. If he were alive, he might even beco a top political advisor, holding dual-dragon power; what a pity. Surely, he never would have imagined you're alive now, already more than a Pri Minister, instead a President, haha..."
Liu Zhizhong listened and laughed, "Well, no matter what, this old rival reaching this level is quite comndable. If he speaks like this, our grievances can be considered resolved. Should he ask for advancent, naturally there wouldn't be problems doing a regular ministry position. After all, he's still young, yet quite experienced already. He relies on Minister Luo from the provincial committee, whereas you will rely on the aristocratic Tang Zhi in the future. So, although older than him, your prospects outshine his greatly."
Hamuer laughed, "I am not reliant on aristocratic families, right? I'm reliant on Chi Zhongshui, President Chi, haha..."
"Haha... Secret kept, secret kept, hehe... By the way, my chief secretary, Secretary Cao in Daxi, how is he now?"
ntioning this, Hamuer's expression turned a bit serious, shaking his head, "Let's not discuss him. He was with you for so ti but didn't learn any advantages; after you were presud deceased, he beca sowhat complacent, relying on being a chief secretary to such a hero and cared for by the organization, promoted to deputy mayor, then acted recklessly. I've ntioned several tis, but he didn't heed my advice. Last year, soone reported, and he got into trouble, involved in a billion-dollar case, sentenced to life imprisonnt."
Liu Zhizhong nodded, "Indeed, he deserved it—my negligence in employing him. Those holding positions, not diligent, not considering the public's interests, only pursuing personal pleasure, ultimately must bear the consequences."
"Yes, you're right. The Wale Republic does this excellently. Here, there's much to learn."
"The valley's path contrasts sharply with Great East Pot's path. When power is properly separated and supervised, those inclined to chaos can't execute their sches. Dare not chaos, dare not corrupt, dare not be greedy—this is the effect!"
"Ah... around here, hehe, it's very difficult..."
