Rise From the Humble

Zhu Ping'an, who has a keen sense of hearing, could clearly hear Gao Gong's sneer just now, and he also noticed the downward curvature of the corners of Gao Gong's mouth many times today.

It is clear.

Gao Gong had a bad impression of himself, and he probably classified himself into the category of talking on paper, empty talk that harms the country, whimsical, and a nerd.

This is not a good sign.

Gao Gong was a powerful minister in the post-Jiajing era, the Longqing era, and the early Wanli era. Especially in the Longqing era, Gao Gong was ranked among the best because of the deep relationship between kings, ministers, teachers and students established with King Yu. He was bossy and specialized in state affairs.

Zhu Ping'an knew that it was too late for him to enter Prince Yu's Mansion at this time compared to Gao Gong. Gao Gong was already deeply trusted and relied upon by Prince Yu. No matter how he performed in front of Prince Yu, his status would have to be ranked first. Behind the high arch.

King Yu's greatest hobby is women, and his greatest advantage is his incompetence. Having suffered under the shadow of Emperor Jiajing and King Jing for more than 20 years, he indulged in sensuality after ascending the throne, and took care of important national affairs for his subordinates.

The master is weak and the minister is strong.

After King Yu ascended the throne, it was the era of Gao Gong.

And Gao Gong is a domineering and self-righteous person. If he cannot be recognized by Gao Gong, it will be difficult for him to make a difference after King Yu ascends the throne and Gao Gong takes full power. I believe that with Gao Gong's domineering and conceited character, he will never promote or re-employ anyone who dislikes or despises him. Even if he enters the center of power based on his own ability, he will be expelled by Gao Gong. Gao Gong did this kind of thing not once or twice. He expelled four more cabinet ministers than Gao Gong. First he defeated Xu Jie, and then expelled Chen Yiqin, Zhao Zhenji, Li Chunfang, Yin Shidan and others. .

Therefore, today we still have to leave a deep impression on Gao Gong.

The impression mentioned here is not the impression that made Gao Gong sneer before, but a positive impression.

It is best to get high arch approval.

This is related to your future career and whether you can successfully realize your revenge and ideals.

Notice

I'm going to show off, and I have to show off...

With hundreds of years of experience ahead of him, can't he still leave a deep positive impression on Gao Gong? !

The aforementioned gold cash out is naturally feasible and has actually existed in history. In modern times, Western countries took advantage of the fact that the price ratio of gold and silver in Japan was much higher than that in the international market, and shipped large quantities of silver from silver-producing countries such as Mexico. He went to Japan to exchange gold and harvested Japan's wool.

Of course, this must be done after the Japanese pirates have been wiped out and the maritime ban has been lifted.

Moreover, this wool can only be harvested for a period of time, which can be as short as one year or as long as several years. When Japan's gold flows out in large quantities and the price of silver falls, it will naturally not be harvested anymore. However, if it is done properly, I believe that even if it takes a while, it will definitely be an astronomical sum, enough to double the gold of the national treasury.

Zhu Ping'an was not prepared to explain this point too much. The conditions were not yet mature and no explanation would be useful.

Explaining too much may deepen Gao Gong's negative impression of himself.

I believe that with Gao Gong's knowledge, he must have seen the operability of gold cashing out. He only had such an attitude because he had a bad impression of himself and thought that he had not noticed the inoperability at all.

If Gao Gong can look at the strategy of cashing out gold objectively and rationally, I believe that with Gao Gong's insight, he can find the merits.

In other words, if the idea of ​​cashing out gold was proposed by Zhang Juzheng, I believe Gao Gong must have a different attitude.

so

As long as Gao Gong's view of himself changes, these won't be problems.

The key to making Gao Gong change his view of himself is to answer the question that Zhang Juzheng just repeated twice: "I wonder what Mr. Zhu has to say?" That is, "How to make money and manage money when the national treasury is empty?"

To this question, Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng just gave their answers respectively. Zhu Pingan also had to give his own answer, and it had to be different from the two of them. Otherwise, if he repeated their views, he would be looked down upon by Gao Gong.

He told Zhu Pinglai that this question was an interview question, and his answer was related to Gao Gong's attitude and his future in Prince Yu's Mansion and even in the future.

How to make money and manage money when the national treasury is empty?

This question is not difficult to answer.

From the Ming and Qing dynasties to the Republic of China and modern times, history has given multiple answers. It depends on how Zhu Pingan chooses.

"Master Zhu, please don't take it for granted." When Zhu Ping'an was making a decision, Zhang Juzheng's voice came over again.

Gao Gong also turned his gaze to Zhu Pingan, which was as bright as the sun outside the window.

"Master Gao and Master Zhang are in front of me. Ping An doesn't dare to claim to have high opinions. He just has some superficial ideas, which may make the generous family laugh." Zhu Ping'an bowed his hands to Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng, and shook his head with a humble smile.

"Master Zhu is too modest." Zhang Juzheng returned the gift with his hand, and then said with a smile, "Master Zhu, please give me some advice."

Gao Gong didn't say anything. He picked up the tea cup on the side, scratched the tea cup as if no one was watching, and took a sip.

"In this case, Ping An is embarrassed." Zhu Ping An said with a bitter smile.

"We are all ears." Zhang Juzheng said happily.

Gao Gong took another sip of tea and seemed not to care about Zhu Pingan's answer. His eyes fell on Zhu Pingan vaguely.

"Haha, what a coincidence. In fact, the answer to peace is also four words."

Zhu Ping'an chuckled, and the sunlight shining in from the window reflected on his honest face, confident and brilliant.

oh.

Also four characters? !

Hearing this, Zhang Juzheng couldn't help but be slightly startled.

Is it really a coincidence? It's definitely not. The answer I gave just now is actually not four words. I just extracted four words from the answer in order to echo Gao Gong. Speaking of it, refining these four words is actually more difficult than the answer. Of course, for me, this is nothing. If you want, five words, six words, seven words, no matter how many words Gao Gong's answer is, your own answer can also be a few words.

In addition to word count, the same goes for the content of your answer.

Because my knowledge is not inferior to Gao Gong, so as long as I am willing, I can reach the point of understanding with Gao Gong.

Therefore, Zhang Juzheng believed that Zhu Pingan's answer would not be such a coincidence. It must have been refined by Zhu Pingan to echo himself and Gao Gong.

Of course, the number of words alone cannot explain much, it also depends on Zhu Pingan's answer.

If Zhu Pingan's answer is as consistent with Gao Gong and himself as the number of words, then

Doesn't that mean Zhu Pingan

Thinking of this, Zhang Juzheng couldn't help but straighten his body, looked at Zhu Pingan intently, and his ears perked up.

Rare concentration.
