Promotion Letter for the Chief Executive

Although Zhao Can looked calm, after returning to the palace, he went to the room with the steam train model again for the first time.

In fact, after the first period of time, Zhao Can seldom went there.

After all, it's just a model, and it doesn't really mean much.

But after getting into the real car today, Zhao Can became interested again and decided to go over to have a look.Ping An had nothing else to do, so naturally he wanted to go with him.

"Why do you suddenly want to see this?" He asked Zhao Can on the way there.

Zhao Can shook his head, "I just wanted to take a look."

Ping An didn't believe it.But Zhao Can didn't say anything, so he didn't ask any more.Anyway, it is impossible for Zhao Can to hide anything from him, even if he hides it now, he will tell it in the future.

As a result, the two entered the room, only to find that there was already someone there.

Two eight or nine-year-old children were squatting next to the model and shoveling coal into the car.Seeing this, Ping An couldn't help being shocked, and hurried over to snatch the shovel. After seeing that there was no ignition in the car, he breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and asked sharply, "Why are you here? Who are you following?"

Although eight or nine-year-old children are not too young, playing with fire is still very dangerous after all.

Ping An has already recognized them, these two are the sons of the clan who go to school in the study, one is the youngest son of Prince Baling, and the other is the eldest son of Chen Guogong.If something happened in the palace, how should I explain to the two clans?

You must know that when Zhao Can let these children study in the palace, in fact, many clans were unwilling in their hearts.

In their view, this is another means for Zhao Can to control them.After all, no matter which dynasty or generation, the royal family is said to be the same family, one is prosperous and the other is damaged, but in fact, for the person on the throne, apart from himself, everyone else is probably an enemy that needs to be guarded against.

Although they are used to this kind of treatment and have made compromises, it does not mean that their dissatisfaction will disappear.If something really happened, the clan would definitely take the opportunity to make trouble.Even if Zhao Can can't do anything, at least he can get more benefits.

The two children obviously didn't expect anyone to come over at this time.Moreover, they all knew Zhao Can and Ping An, and after hurriedly standing up and saluting, they seemed very guilty when faced with the question of Ping An, "The people following are...waiting outside."

Ping An knew at a glance that they had thrown him away, and couldn't help but sigh.

"This thing is too dangerous, you can't touch it, you know? You'll also get rid of the people following you, so what if something happens and you hurt yourself?" He said earnestly.

The two children bowed their heads and did not speak.But Ping An could see dissatisfaction from their faces.

"You think I'm wrong?" he asked.

Chen Guogong's eldest son is named Zhao Duan, he was born with a tiger head and a tiger brain, with big and round eyes, he looks very pleasing, of course, only when he is quiet.Judging by his appearance, he didn't seem like the kind of character who would be quiet. Ping An vaguely remembered that he heard the gentleman in the study room say that he was naughty.

At this moment, he peeked at Ping An, and muttered in a low voice, "I know everything, nothing will happen."

But Ping An was so close, so he naturally heard his words, "You mean you can make this thing? Then tell me how to do it." Ping An became interested.

Zhao Duan really started talking in a decent way.Seeing this, the youngest son of the King of Baling next to him couldn't help but said to Ai Ai, "Yes, Zhao Duan is so smart, he will know it at a glance." If it weren't for this, the two children would not dare to shake him off Open the people who follow.After all, children who grew up in the royal family already know a lot of things at this age, at least they dare not cause trouble in the palace.

Ping'an was still a bit skeptical, but Zhao Can took a step forward, took the shovel out of Ping'an's hand and handed it to Zhao Duan, "You do it again."

Zhao Duan was shocked immediately, took the shovel and started to get busy, and finally actually started the model train.

Ping An was a little surprised.

It's not that they can't do it. After all, the program is not complicated, or it can be said to be quite simple.If it was at that time in Ping An, children who had seen these things would naturally be able to play smoothly.

But because people in this era have never been in contact with it before, it is inevitable that they will be afraid, defensive and vigilant about such things that they don't understand at all.Even the people on duty in the palace, while being curious and onlookers, are not willing to touch it easily. Even the people who add fire here are specially selected for the courageous ones who have been trained in factories outside the city.

It's like in "One Hundred Years of Solitude", people who have never seen ice cubes will seriously visit the ice cubes, and even pay for them just to reach out and touch them.

This is a typical manifestation of human beings exploring the world while guarding against it.

Moreover, Zhao Duan and Zhao Duan are children of the royal family after all, and they are pampered and treated well. I'm afraid they have never done these things at home.Under such circumstances, Ping An was already surprised that the two children skipped class and came here to look at the model, let alone try it themselves?Is it like they say, just look at it?

He was still thinking about this question, but Zhao Can had already seen the clue, "Isn't it the first time you sneaked here?" Looking at Zhao Duan's skillful movements, it was obvious that he had done it many times.

If it is true, then they are able to touch Tiangan Palace several times without being discovered, which is considered very capable.

It seems that the guards of Tiangan Palace need to tighten their skins.

Although it was because the two of them were children, the guards were not on guard, but no matter what, it was a fact that anyone could break into the emperor's bedroom at will.

Zhao Duan rolled his eyes, his eyes wandered from side to side, not daring to look at Zhao Can, and did not answer this question.

But this is also a default.The two stood in place with their heads down, and they could already imagine the punishment after this incident was discovered.Zhao Can will definitely be punished here, and the gentleman in the study will definitely talk about it after he knows it. The most troublesome thing is that there must be family law waiting for him when he returns home.

Thinking of this, both of them couldn't help but grimace.

Especially Zhao Duan, he has already foreseen what kind of scene he will face.After all, his father wanted face the most, and he was the eldest son, so he was already very strict, even if nothing happened, he would call Renjiao to reprimand him.I made a mistake this time, and I'm afraid I won't be able to escape after a beating.

But the king of Baling dotes on his son, so he probably won't punish him severely.But that doesn't mean it's all right, after all, there will definitely be some earnest lectures, and there will be tears from the ladies in the backyard.

"Who came up with the idea?" Zhao Can asked again.

The youngest son of Baling County King turned his head to look at Zhao Duan with a pale face.Zhao Duan was also afraid, but he stood up and said, "It's me."

There must be some inaccuracies in this statement, but Zhao Can did not pursue it.He nodded and said, "Okay, let's go down. Go back and double today's homework, so I won't disturb your family. But let's not be an example."

"Yes!" Hearing this sentence, the two of them thought they would be punished, immediately cheered up, agreed loudly, and then left with a sense of humor.

Seeing Zhao Can staring at the direction where the two left, Pingan couldn't help asking, "What are you thinking?"

"A small idea." Zhao Can said, "I'm not sure yet, I'll tell you later." Then he turned and left.

"Aren't you going to see the model?" Ping An rushed to ask.

Zhao Can said, "It's over."

But after leaving this room, he didn't go back to the Primordial Hall, but turned around and went to another room.

It is said to be a room here, but it is actually a hall, which covers a very large area.Placed here are the sand tables of various states in Dachu.This was made by Ping An after the martial arts students surveyed.Because so far, there are still some places that have not been investigated, so there are less than twenty sand tables.

Even so, it looked magnificent in the hall.

In fact, the strategic significance of the sand table is more important. There is currently no war in Dachu, so the sand table is not very useful.But Ping An still produces every state.He adopted the method of detachable installation.When all the sand tables of each state are collected in the future, they will be a thumbnail model of the entire Great Chu.

The original intention of making this thing, on the one hand, Ping An wanted to verify what he had learned in martial arts, and on the other hand, he wanted Zhao Can to see what the whole Great Chu looked like.

Although he claims to be the master of the mountains and rivers, due to various restrictions, it is very difficult for Zhao Can to have the opportunity to go to these places, and it is even more impossible to see every inch of the mountains and rivers of Dachu.But it doesn't matter, Ping An can use this method to help him see.

In his words, talking is better than nothing.

But in fact, from the beginning of sand table making, Zhao Can was not very interested in it.I have only seen it once or twice so far, which makes Pingan quite sad.

Of course, this was because Ping An didn't tell him his hypocritical thoughts.Otherwise, Zhao Can might come to see it once a day for his own sake.

Although the effect is not satisfactory, since it has already started, even if Zhao Can doesn't like it, Ping An still insists on continuing.

Maybe it will be useful in the future.

But she didn't expect Zhao Can to come over today.

Ping An didn't figure out what Zhao Can was thinking until he left.And Zhao Can obviously didn't mean to explain, but said that he hadn't fully thought it out yet, and would explain it to Ping An when he was ready.

Since this is the case, it is not easy for Ping An to break the casserole and ask the end.

But in the next few days, Ping An discovered that Zhao Can had been looking at everyone's homework sent by the study.

This gave him some relief in his heart.Maybe, Zhao Can is picking his heir.

It's pretty much the same, Zhao Can is over [-] years old at this time, and it is indeed time to worry about this matter.After all, the successor is not just chosen, but he has to be trained and taught in various aspects, and then he has to be taken with him to learn how to handle political affairs.This process will take at least ten years.

More than ten years later, Zhao Can will be approaching fifty.

Although Ping An always avoids thinking about things that are so far away, the fact is that there are not many emperors who lived long in history, and there are many who died at the age of four or fifty.This has something to do with their living environment, which is under high pressure all the year round.

So according to Ping An's plan, Zhao Can only needs to work until that time.At that time, even if Zhao Can still wants to keep busy, Ping An will advise him.

When people are old, they should take good care of themselves and take good care of themselves. As for those things, let the juniors handle them!

In this way, Zhao Can's way of choosing an heir now coincides with Ping An's thoughts.So he saw it in his eyes and was happy in his heart, so naturally he wouldn't ask.

In fact, Zhao Can's previous idea was to pick out a group of people, say four or five, and train them at the same time, adopt a competitive model, and the capable ones will be promoted.Anyway, he is not his son, and the imperial power is a very cautious matter, and it is also due to choose the best one to inherit it.

However, this approach was rejected by Ping An.

Just how tragic the battle for the heir apparent is, you can see what Zhao Can has experienced.However, in fact, this is the result of Zhao Can and Ping An's intentional control, otherwise the impact will be even greater.

This is actually just a kind of internal friction against the court's resources, and it is of no benefit at all.Although in this fierce and complicated struggle, the prince who finally stood out must also be outstanding.That's more intriguing excellence than necessarily political, though.

Besides, Ping An had to admit that because the other party and Zhao Can had no father-son relationship, they were relatively estranged.The heir might qualify, but he certainly didn't have any feelings.

Although such things as posthumous affairs are just comfort for the living, the dead may not be able to know about them.Just like Ping An is alive now, but he doesn't know much about the ending of his previous life.And now that there is a new life, I don't want to think about the so-called past.

However, the emperor is different from ordinary people. It will be written in history books and studied repeatedly by future generations.That being the case, Ping An doesn't want Zhao Can to be criticized for anything.The desolation behind him is beyond Zhao Can's control, but as long as he chooses his successor carefully, it is not inevitable.

He doesn't need to have much affection for Zhao Can, at least it is enough that he will not show any disrespect after Zhao Can's death.

Therefore, Ping An would rather be more cautious before choosing, and after confirming the candidate, devote all efforts to training him.

After all, there are indeed some people in this world who are born smart and enlightened, and some people are relatively weak in intelligence, but these are very rare cases.Most of the rest are ordinary people.You can't expect to find a genius just by looking for it, but even ordinary people, as long as they put in effort to teach, the final result will not be bad.

There is a saying that the times make heroes. Not everyone who can achieve high achievements in this world is a one-in-a-kind genius.Sometimes ordinary people have the opportunity, and what they can do is no worse than anyone else.

What's more, what Zhao Can wanted to choose was not a genius, he just needed to be able to defend himself, to keep the piece of land he created with Pingan.If he is too capable, he will have to worry that he will come up with his own ideas at that time, and the new policy will be completely abolished in the end.

So on this matter, Ping An and Zhao Can reached a consensus.

However, Ping An does not intend to intervene in how to choose people and who to choose.People stand in different positions and see different things.He's not Zhao Can, he doesn't know what it takes to be an emperor, even if he wants to give advice, it's mostly just making trouble.

Looking at it now, although Zhao Can never mentioned it on weekdays, he has always kept this matter in mind.Judging by his current choice, he should be very serious.

Sure enough, after finishing reading the various homework brought back from the upper study room, Zhao Can began to appear frequently in the upper study room to test the studies of these clan children.Occasionally, after government affairs are over, he will summon some of them.

This kind of movement cannot be concealed from others, and many people have already speculated about Zhao Can's actions.

It's not uncommon for Zhao Can's age to have unmarried emperors, but most of them are special circumstances.People like Zhao Can who ascended the throne early have never had such a problem.If the courtiers thought about making Zhao Can accept this arrangement before, they had completely given up now.

The emperor didn't want people to talk about his harem, so they couldn't resist, so they had to pretend not to see it.Although occasionally speaking in private, it is inevitable to sigh, but I can only complain verbally.

As for the future, it is not that no one has guessed how to solve it.

In fact, the succession of the clan is easy to guess.But when Zhao Can will start to act, and how to choose people, they can't guess.

Some of them felt that there was no need to worry about it at all, and that when Zhao Can got older and lost his energy, he could just pick out outstanding clan children.Others felt that Zhao Can would be more satisfied if he raised a baby directly while Zhao Can was still young.

The former thinks that babies can't tell the good from the bad, and if they choose the wrong person, it will be very troublesome even if they want to change it.The latter feels that he was not trained as a prince since childhood, and must be lacking in many aspects.Zhao Can didn't have any opinions yet, they were already arguing endlessly with each other.

Fortunately, this kind of debate was only in private, and it was not brought to the public, so Zhao Can just pretended to be ignorant.

So now, Zhao Can has a little movement here, and the ministers have already started talking about it.

Even the clan was excited about it.They originally thought that Zhao Can's way of letting his children study in the palace was too overbearing, but now they wished that he could be more overbearing and directly select their own children, stay in the palace and never come back.

Ping An once read a joke saying that a woman’s childhood dream was to be president, but when she grows up, she realizes that it’s impossible, so her dream becomes to marry the president, and when she gets married and has children, she starts to dream of herself again when she reaches middle age. Can give birth to a president.

In a person's life, the gap between ideal and reality is nothing more than that.

These clan disciples never failed to be proud of their status as aristocrats when they were young, hoping to get the opportunity to build a career.But as they got older, they all gradually understood that it was impossible to have such an opportunity.Not to mention the limitations of personal abilities, the emperor would never allow this to happen.After spending half his life in such a muddle, now he naturally pins all his expectations on the child.

And now there is such a best opportunity in front of them, how could they refuse?

Now that everyone knows about it, there is no need to hide it.So Zhao Can came to discuss with Ping An, wanting to ask his opinion.Of course, he didn't come empty-handed. He had a few documents in his hand, all of which were left over after his preliminary screening.

Ping An knew Zhao Can's selection criteria at a glance, "Do you want to choose someone who is pro-New Deal?"

"At least you must understand what these things mean, be interested in them, and not abolish them casually in the future." Zhao Can said.

This can be regarded as a rainy day.Although Ping An believes that if the wheel of history is destined to roll forward like this, then no matter what people do later, they will not be able to resist it.That being the case, it doesn't matter whether future generations maintain it or not, as long as it involves their own interests, they will naturally take the initiative to do so.

However, if there are fewer twists and turns and less time for progress, it will be of great benefit to Da Chu.

Sometimes the general trend is nothing more than a step ahead of others.Only by maintaining the advantage of this step can we become a fearsome and powerful country.At least Ping An does not want to see those hundred years of humiliation happen again.

But if Ping An knew that Zhao Can actually just didn't want his hard work to go to waste, I'm afraid he wouldn't be so sad.

For Zhao Can, he already knew the reason why Ping An intervened in all this - at the beginning, he just wanted to leave something in this world to prove that he had been here.

That being the case, of course he must do his best to protect these traces left by Ping An and prevent them from being destroyed wantonly.

What's more, from the perspective of Da Chu and the royal family surnamed Zhao, these things are only good for themselves and not harmful, and it is very necessary to keep them to the maximum extent.

So when choosing an heir, Zhao Can focused on choosing a more inclined one.

As for how to see this kind of thing?Just look at their homework.

Basic natural science is also taught in the upper study room, and some of them are always particularly interested in these things, spending more time and energy.

In these lists, Ping An saw an unsurprising name, "Zhao Duan? He does seem to have some talent in this area."

"Yes." Zhao Can said, "I plan to find an opportunity to send these phoenix sons and grandchildren to the factory outside the city to have a look."

He kept in mind what Pingan said, among the series of things he created, if there is any item that will have a profound impact on the future of Dachu, it must be this steam locomotive that has not seen much benefit yet. .

Among them, Zhao Duan's performance made Zhao Can look forward to the most.

However, Ping An has a completely different view.
