Chapter 286 Very Safe
Anderson looked at Ji Moli and said in surprise, "So this is a lady? Is she your sister?"
The seventh young master snorted coldly, "I am his brother."
Anderson became more and more reluctant to look away, "Marquis Marquis, I heard that women in your country cannot take official exams, so they cannot hold formal positions in the government."
Ji Ao Jian said, "So this requires reform, and you also need to rely on your country's help."
Anderson was stunned, "You are planning to change things too?"
Ji Aojian said, "We yearn for democracy, admire republic, long for constitutionalism, and call for freedom. This is naturally necessary to reform and achieve it."
Anderson nodded, "Reform is the right way, so that you can become a civilized country."
Many enthusiastic people in Europe and the United States are willing to help "backward countries" in the world reform. First, after the "backward countries" reform, it is easier to align with the world, accept the rules of the great powers, and get involved in the global capitalist market. Second, actively assisting "backward countries" reform will help cultivate comprador classes for their own country and control the country's economic lifeline. Third, it will be very fulfilling to believe that this is a noble cause of human progress and can help these countries label some democratic republics.
Ji Ao Jiandao, "That's true. After the Ming Dynasty reforms, he will deeply realize the significance and importance of following international public law and will definitely carry out all-round cooperation with your country."
Anderson suddenly felt that he was a great thinker representing advanced civilization, and he became wise.
"I wonder how do you need our assistance?"
Ji Ao Jiandao. "Enlightened people in the court are planning reforms. The Minister can express his contempt for some of the backward aspects of his country. He can echo the actions of the reformists."
Anderson said, "What are the main things you want to change?"
Ji Aojian said, "The cabinet is responsible, women participate in politics, abolish kneeling and ban foot binding..."
He reported it out in a leisurely manner and said ten aspects in one breath. Then he said, "Let's get so much first, make up an integer. It's called the 'Top Ten Backwards'."
This year, Mr. Ji first competed for the top ten famous boxings, participated in the top ten mysterious principles, and now arranged the top ten behind.
Anderson squinted his eyes and smiled. "Actually, the first two are the most important ones."
Ji Aojian also smiled and nodded. "As long as a woman can participate in the imperial examination, my sister is well-read, and it is a sure thing to be a winner in the title list. Some experts have calculated it for her. She will be the top scorer in high school this year."
Ji Moli exclaimed and looked at Ji Aojian in surprise. Could it be that after the reform of the court this year, I can really take the Jinshi exam?
Anderson said, "If this lady passes the official examination, she is not unable to be a candidate for the General Taxation Division. But I still hope that people from my country will hold this position."
Ji Aojian sighed, "Mr. Minister, you don't know anything. The General Taxation Department is extremely risky."
Anderson was surprised, "The risk is very high?"
Ji Aojian said, "I just said that the tariffs were not raised before because gangs everywhere were rampant and vicious criminals were everywhere. After the establishment of the tariff committee, the general manager would naturally become the target of these villains' anger and would inevitably encounter various assassinations frequently. So in the first few years, your country's friends came to be the general tax department, which was too risky."
Anderson thought for a while, "How powerful are these gangster villains in your country?"
Ji Aojian smiled slightly, stretched out his palm, and suddenly slashed hard, immediately cutting a corner of the hardwood table in front of him. The cut surface was flat and smooth, like a knife slashing by.
Anderson couldn't help swallowing, "Marquis Marquis, do you have such great ability?"
Ji Ao Jian said, "I have many martial arts practitioners in China. I know all kinds of assassination methods and I can't defend myself. It is said that many evil gangsters have begun to learn muskets now."
Anderson felt a chill behind his back, "Mr. Ji, why not be the first general tax department, I think you should be able to survive..."
Ji Aojian coughed, "Mr. Anderson, my skills are very common among Chinese people, and it is difficult to survive. But my sister's ability is far higher than me. We can all feel at ease if she is the chief tax department."
Anderson looked at Ji Moli again, a little disbelief, "Your sister is even better than you?"
Ji Aojian said, "My sister is a master in the martial arts world, and few in the world can beat her. Sister Qi, show her skills to the minister."
Ji Moli put the fan away, put it on the table, and slapped it with a light palm, as if she didn't use any strength.
But after she moved her palm away, the fan was embedded in the table, flush with the tabletop.
Anderson was stunned, "This..."
Ji Moli said lightly, "Mr. Minister, you can try it out if you can pull the fan up."
Anderson reached out to pull it off, but the fan was embedded very tightly and had no place to use force, so he naturally couldn't get it.
After he tried to give up for a long time, Ji Moli reached out and flicked her hand without any force. Somehow, the fan had returned to her hand.
At this point, the minister finally convinced him, "This lady is very safe to be the chief tax department."
Ji Aojian handed over another apple, "So Mr. Minister, I am here to send the golden apple today."
Anderson took a bite and smiled brightly, "It's indeed Golden Apple, Lord Marquis, we have a happy cooperation."
The two left the foreign minister's residence, and Ji Moli said quietly, "Xiao Jian, I really admire you."
Without waiting for Ji Aojian to reply, she continued, "I have been thinking just now that your cooperation method is so effective, why don't you come to discuss with foreigners earlier. Later I realized that the British minister had been talking to the court for more than two months, and it was already a tug of war. At this time, you come to help him open the deadlock, and the communication will naturally go smoothly."
Ji Ao Jian said, "Sister Qi, you can see this at a glance."
Ji Moli said, "You actually want to give me the opportunity to gain fame and fortune."
The seventh young master was famous in the capital, but unfortunately he couldn't enter the imperial examination and was always regretful. Today, Ji Aojian first looked for Jiang Cifu and then the British minister, and decided on the reforms at both ends. He wanted to change the case in the scientific examination, which was a great opportunity.
Ji Aojian smiled and said, "Why thank me for this? My third sister said it during the Chinese New Year. You will find a way to let the woman enter the imperial examination in the next two years."
Ji Moli frowned, "Why did the third sister say that? I haven't thought about it yet. I just want to donate my fame and fortune."
Ji Aojian exclaimed, "Then why haven't you donated yet?"
Ji Moli said, "A woman wants to have a background in the imperial examination. Even if she wants to donate a student in prison, it is an unprecedented example since ancient times. The price must be quite high. I originally wanted to take advantage of the imperial court's defeat and operate this matter at the critical point of fundraising..."
Ji Aojian was moved: As a result, you bought the Siberian Marquis for me, and you were reluctant to donate your fame. Sister Qi, you are so safe.
Ji Moli said halfway, and suddenly sighed softly, "I understand what my third sister means. She expected that the court would lose, and if she lost, she would seek change, and there would be reforms. If she tried to operate in the court and select talents in an unconventional way, there would be hope for women to enter the imperial examination."
Ji Ao Jian said, "Yes, Sister Qi, you just thought of it."
Ji Moli said, "You have thought of it before me and are all planning."
Ji Aojian said, "I kept thinking about this problem because I had a reminder from my third sister, so I thought about it earlier. Sister Qi, after you get to the head of the General Taxation Department, it will naturally be no problem to collect the bride price."
Ji Moli nodded, her eyes slightly red, "Xiao Jian, you have been too worried about me. This tens of millions of taels of silver will definitely be able to get it together. Although it is unlikely to be completed within the year, I will always remember how good you are to me."
Ji Aojian exclaimed, "Sister Qi, you still feel that you can't get it together within the year?"
Ji Moli frowned and said, "It's difficult."
Ji Aojian said, "If you become the General Taxation Department, you can use customs taxes as collateral and find other banks to raise funds."
Ji Moli's starry eyes flashed, "What do you mean?"
Her mind suddenly had a flash of inspiration and her breathing suddenly became rapid, "Yes, I have customs tax guarantees to borrow from various money houses. This is naturally very credible. It is really not difficult to raise ten million taels of silver."
Ji Aojian smiled and said, "Sister IV can no longer escape your palms. Seventh sister, congratulations on your career and marriage this year."
Although Ji Moli couldn't help but feel happy, thinking that the current situation was urgent and almost lost interest, he urged, "Xiao Jian, let's go into the palace quickly." (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
