The ministers begged me to ascend the throne

Chapter 30 I'm Not Interested in That Seat
Liang Run was always worried that his sister would be bullied in the palace and would not live well.He was also worried that Liang Zhaoyi would be killed in the palace. After all, the harem is a place where people can eat people without spitting out their bones.

No matter how worried he is, it's useless, because the Liang family has no power or power, and they can't help Liang Zhaoyi at all, nor can they protect his sister.

After Liang Zhaoyi entered the palace, she completely lost contact with her family, which made Liang Run even more worried about her safety.He always felt that Liang Zhaoyi was killed.

Two or three years after losing contact with Liang Zhaoyi, the Liang family in Yangzhou finally received news from Liang Zhaoyi that Liang Zhaoyi gave birth to a prince for the emperor and was named Zhaoyi. This made the Liang family happy and uneasy.

Happily, Liang Zhaoyi is still alive and has successfully given birth to a prince.What is disturbing is that Liang Zhaoyi is helpless in the palace. Will her situation become more dangerous if she gives birth to a prince.

After careful consideration, Liang Run decided to go to the capital.Even if you can't help Liang Zhaoyi, it's good to know some news about Liang Zhaoyi.

He originally planned to become an official and become his sister's reliance, but the Great Zhou Dynasty did not allow buying an official.Their family didn't know any high-ranking officials, so they couldn't recommend him to be an official, so he had no choice but to give up the decision to be an official.

Originally, he wanted to count on his father, after all, his father was the only official in their family, but his father was just a small county magistrate, and this county magistrate had not been promoted for more than ten or twenty years.

The reason why his father, the county magistrate, has never been promoted is because his father, the county magistrate, was bought. More than 20 years ago, the Great Zhou Dynasty had not yet been established at that time, and it was still the former dynasty.In the previous dynasty, it was possible to buy and sell officials.The Liang family was rich, so they bought Father Liang a county magistrate.Father Liang's county magistrate did a good job, so when the Great Zhou Dynasty was established, Father Liang's county magistrate was not removed.

When the Great Zhou Dynasty was first established, many things from the previous dynasty were abolished, including buying and selling officials.During the period of Emperor Xia Ling of the previous dynasty, official positions were sold at a clearly marked price, and anyone who had money could become an official. At that time, the imperial court and the officialdom were in chaos.These officials who bought the official position crazily amassed money, exploited the people, and made the people miserable.

This is a lesson learned from previous dynasties, and the Great Zhou Dynasty must not repeat the same mistakes.

Recommending officials to the imperial court is generally recommended by serving officials.Of course, the official position of the serving officials cannot be too low.According to the regulations of the Great Zhou Dynasty, only officials of the fifth rank or above are eligible to recommend talents.There is another special case, that is, the great Confucianists in the world, or people with high morals and high prestige are also qualified to recommend talents.

Even if there is a recommendation from an official or a great Confucianist in the world, it must go through layers of review.During the review process, not only the ability of the recommendee must be examined, but also his character. The most important thing is to examine whether they have committed any crimes or moral corruption.

If the audit official is bribed, let the recommended person pass the audit.After that, if it is found that there is something wrong with the recommended person, then the official who reviewed him at the beginning will be severely punished.

The Liang family had also thought about sending money to the governor of Yangzhou and asking the governor of Yangzhou to recommend Liang Run to be an official, but this was bribery and it was a felony if found out.Furthermore, if they did this, it might bring danger to Liang Zhaoyi in the palace.

Liang Run and the others thought about it carefully, and decided not to bribe the governor of Yangzhou.

Since you can't be an official, you can only continue to do business.After careful consideration, Liang Run decided to come to the capital to do business.

Doing business in the capital, on the one hand, they can learn about Liang Zhaoyi, and on the other hand, they can send money to Liang Zhaoyi.

Liang Run felt that his sister had no influence in the palace, and if he wanted to live well in the palace, he had to use money to open the way.At the beginning, before Liang Zhaoyi came to the capital, Liang's father gave her a lot of money for her to use in the palace.

The Liang family is quite famous in Yangzhou, but in the capital, they are nothing.If this business is not done well, there will be troubles, and even life-threatening. After all, there are too many dignitaries in the capital, and they cannot be offended.

Liang Run felt that his business should not be too big, as it would attract attention and be coveted.If you are small, you can't make much money, and you can't help Liang Zhaoyi in the palace.He thought about it seriously and decided to start a moderate business.

He was going to do the business of the Liang family's old business - medicinal materials business, but he didn't know the way to buy medicinal materials in the capital.Furthermore, there are quite a few people in the capital who are engaged in the medicinal materials business, and there are many people who are knowledgeable, so he can't compete with them.

Just when he was struggling with what business to do, Zhao Yao came to him.Originally, Zhao Yao wanted Liang Run to start a restaurant business, so that he could sell the delicacies that Zhao Yao had eaten in his dream, but it was too conspicuous to do so.

After discussing with Liang Zhaoyi, Zhao Yao and Liang Zhaoyi decided to let Liang Run do a humble business.This humble business can not only make money, but also collect news.That is selling vegetables.

Like Liang Zhaoyi, Liang Run likes to grow herbs, vegetables, and flowers since she was a child, and she grows well.Zhao Yao asked Liang Run to buy some land on the outskirts of the capital for growing vegetables.

At the beginning, I set up a stall to sell vegetables in the vegetable market in the capital, and then delivered them to my door to sell vegetables.Liang Run is also very business-minded. In the past two years, his door-to-door vegetable delivery business has done very well.At present, many officials and wealthy merchants in Beijing are sending their dishes to Liang Run.

Through door-to-door delivery of food, Liang Run collected a lot of news in Beijing.Most of these messages are very useful.

At this time, Zhao Yao was eating hot pot happily.

Seeing that his nephew was enjoying the food, Liang Run's appetite improved a lot.

The nephew and uncle talked about what happened recently while eating hot pot happily.

"Since the news of Dai Wang's great victory in Liangzhou came back to the capital, there has been a lot of rumors about his previous meritorious service in battle. Now when Dai Wang is mentioned, the people will all say that he is a great hero."

"This should be written by Xuan Pinghou. He wants the people in the capital to know the various military exploits that the second brother has made, so that the people think that the current peace of the Great Zhou Dynasty was brought by the king." His mouth was flushed, "Xuan Pinghou did this to create momentum for the second brother."

"Now the common people feel that the Dai Wang should add beads, and that this is what the Dai Wang deserves." Liang Run said, "In fact, adding beads to the Dai Wang is also a good thing for you. When you grow up and become the king, you will definitely add more beads." beads."

Zhao Yao waved his hand and said, "I'm not interested in adding beads or not." To be precise, it doesn't matter.When he grows up, he still doesn't know what the situation is like.Besides, he is not interested in that seat, and it is of no use to him whether to add beads or not.

"I heard that adding beads will increase the size of the fief and increase the salary. Are you not interested?"

"Second uncle, I am not favored. When I grow up and become king, my father will reward me with Qingzhou nine times out of ten." Qingzhou is the smallest state among all the states, and the geographical location is not important. It's that Qingzhou is very poor now, and there are often pirates. "By the way, you said earlier that Uncle is buying a restaurant, has it been sold?"

"It's on the plate, but it's just a small restaurant." Liang Run rinsed the meat, picked it up and put it in Zhao Yao's bowl, "Your uncle is currently decorating the restaurant, it will take a while."

Zhao Yao's uncle is Liang Yu.Before he went to Qingzhou, he went to the capital to meet Zhao Yao and the others.Zhao Yao gave him a lot of things, such as the modern food that Zhao Yao ate in his dream, and the drawings of the restaurant decoration.

With these things, Liang Yu's restaurant will definitely make money.

"In the second half of the year, the restaurant will definitely be able to open." Liang Run continued, "In addition to being busy with the restaurant, your uncle also specially went to meet the local officials and rich gentry in Qingzhou."

Seeing that Liang Run frowned suddenly, Zhao Yao put down his chopsticks and asked, "It's hard to deal with officials and wealthy gentry in Qingzhou?"

Liang Run nodded lightly: "Although Qingzhou is small, the forces there are intricate and complicated. It is difficult to break into them."

"Money can turn ghosts." Zhao Yao said, "As long as you have enough money, you can beat them."

"You're right." His nephew is as smart as his sister.It's a pity that their Liang family has no influence, not only can't help him fight for that position, but it may also hinder him.As a result, my sister and he did not dare to compete for that seat.

With my sister and Yaoyao's ingenuity, it's really a pity not to fight for that seat.

　Liang Run: Yaoyao is so smart, it's all our Liang family's incompetence that delayed him.

　　Zhao Yao: I have ten heads and it's not enough to fight for that seat.I just want to grow up, play around and eat delicious food all over the world.
