Chapter 1925 Change Your Thinking
After the banquet, Kang Ning saw off the guests in person, and even helped the drunk Zhao Xian to the car with his own hands, and explained to the servants and the coachman well, and stopped to watch the car drive away, disappearing from sight, and the party had just officially come to an end.

If it was Lu Guogong himself, it would be fine, but Zhao Xian, with such a performance, with Kang Ning's current reputation, it is indeed a bit of a fall.However, Kang Ning didn't care about these, he just felt that a meeting today would be of great benefit.

Compared with Zhao Xian, his source of news may not be too narrow, but some key information is missing, especially some movements and trends related to the upper echelons of the court.

In the past, I had interacted with so many people of all kinds, and indeed got a lot of useful information. However, Zhao Xian's "candid" and "refreshing" situation is still very good.

But today's meeting was of great benefit to Kang Ning, at least Zhao Xian gave him a big wake-up call.After so many years of "setbacks", Kang Ning has actually come to understand some things. Today's Dahan is a social system that took decades to build under the leadership of Emperor Liu. In this system, there are many things in every aspect. The development and progress of the country, but the restrictions of various rules and regulations are also very clear.

In terms of business operations, Corning has made great achievements through all kinds of maneuvers, and it can even be said to have reached the pinnacle of this field.But on the other hand, that's all. When he wanted to break through this field and complete the transformation of his life and career, obstacles and resistance that were not obvious at first came one after another.

The prosperity of the world is all for profit. Money can affect power in many ways and to a large extent, and even manipulate power. In a big man, power lies in money, but there are always exceptions, which are inevitable, such as Kang Ning.

However, in today's big men, if you want to put this unspoken rule on the table, you are challenging the rules and breaking the rules. This is disgusting and unacceptable to universal values.Strictly speaking, those who try to challenge the rules will end up facing Emperor Liu, and Emperor Liu is the person who hates bad rules the most, especially the rules he made.

It is true that Emperor Liu himself would do some self-defeating and self-defeating behaviors from time to time, but he is the emperor after all, and to restrain the emperor with the standard of restraining his courtiers is also embarrassing to a certain extent, and it depends on the emperor's mood to lead by example. Besides, this is Emperor Liu!
Before the conclusion of Jiangxi's participation in politics, there was a not-so-intense debate within the imperial court. Several people believed that Kang Ning was different from ordinary merchants. The official position is justifiable, and it is also considered a reward, which comforts the hearts of people with lofty ideals all over the world.

Regarding such an argument, one can imagine what kind of attitude and reaction Emperor Liu would have. Regardless of other factors, just saying the words "sell an official and sell a noble" is enough to make him angry, but there are some people who have no sensitivity at all. Without a correct awareness, instead, he spoke loudly and spoke out some "reasons" clearly and logically.

From Emperor Liu's point of view, Kang Ning may be different from ordinary merchants, and he has worked hard for the court, but the court has also given enough rewards, and he is not satisfied with the huge profits in business, and he intends to earn money in his official career , that is insatiable greed.

Although Emperor Liu has always encouraged business and industry, from the heart, he dislikes it. He just has to take advantage of its strengths and endure its disadvantages.

When Emperor Liu held such an attitude, the subsequent development of the matter should not be surprising.Officials who made relevant remarks were demoted and dismissed one after another. Even Zhong Mo resigned from Jiangxi not long after. Although he was once transferred to the capital as the head of the Ministry, he soon ushered in the curtain call of his political career, was dismissed, and finally depressed. And finally.

Since then, Corning has never been as smooth as in the previous 30 years. All kinds of troubles have come one after another. Although they are not fatal, they are very troublesome and even make him feel deeply worried.

When Kang Ning realized that, given the current political ecology and environment, it would be extremely difficult for him to make a breakthrough, and Emperor Liu was the biggest stumbling block, which made people desperate.

With Kang Ning's intelligence, he naturally knows how to keep a low profile and avoid disasters, but because he is smart enough, he is extremely unwilling in his heart.In his opinion, if one can go from being an official to a businessman, one can naturally become an official from a businessman. Although the court has a rule that officials in office are not allowed to engage in business, Kang Ning can see the real situation. Carrying many "distinguished guests".

Look at the great Han world, how many dignitaries there are, they are officials first, and then they do business for profit. He just reversed the order, so why are there so many prejudices and restrictions.

Collusion between government and businessmen, conversion of government and businessmen, this is the norm, it is reasonable, and it should be.
Kang Ning is a typical example. After accumulating a certain amount of wealth and gaining a certain social status, he wants to seek a political status that matches the wealth, but this is not acceptable to Emperor Liu.

After encountering setbacks in seeking to become an official, Kang Ning did not recover from a setback. He even came up with a bold idea: If he was more straightforward and donated a certain amount of family property, could he get an official position or even a title?
Compared with sneaking around in Jiangxi, this kind of idea is much more straightforward. Of course, to achieve such a goal, firstly, it depends on the timing, secondly, someone needs to recruit, and finally, the money should not be too small. Corning’s initial budget is 100 million.
Kang Ning made preparations and actions for the implementation of this whimsical idea, but he was finally persuaded. A friend, an old Taoist, a Taoist priest who was funded by him and convinced him, is said to have heard of Chen Tuan in Huashan. Zu's sermons can be regarded as half "outer disciples".

After listening to Kang Ning's thoughts on donating money to become an official, the old Taoist didn't say much, but gave an unpredictable warning, saying that the power of the sky is unpredictable, and this move is not only hard to get a blessing, but a disaster!

Then, the old man drifted back to Shannafu, and Kang Ning fell into calm thinking, perhaps out of trust, or perhaps out of alertness to danger, and finally gave up.

That is to say, Kang Ning listened to the persuasion, otherwise, let him have millions of fortunes, but also become floating dust.Emperor Liu's emphasis on magnates is definitely beyond ordinary people's comprehension. It is almost regarded as the legal order and cornerstone of the rule. If you want to change officials and seek magnates with a few filthy money, you just want to die.

What's more, even if Emperor Liu didn't say anything, even the nobles of the Han Dynasty would rise up to oppose and attack. For some military meritorious nobles, even Wei Renpu and Xue Juzheng, those who were enshrined in martial arts, would look down on them, and they often complained. Not to mention a mere merchant.

If you can buy a title with a little money, then the nobles will not be in a turmoil, and their hearts will not be disturbed?If Kang Ning really did that, in the eyes of Emperor Liu, it might be a kind of provocation and humiliation, how could it end well.

In the past few years, Corning has been pondering how to break through this problem that has plagued him for many years, even to the point of being a dead end.

After a while today, Zhao Xian's words finally inspired him, and he could completely change his mind.The majesty of the old emperor is irreversible and difficult to resist. You can take a long-term view. Any rules and regulations, as long as you are willing to pay the price, there will always be a day of prying.

He can't, there are sons and grandsons, money may not be so useful to Emperor Liu, but it is different to other people.

In the carriage returning home, Kang Ning had two thoughts in mind, one was to send someone to inquire about the whereabouts of the emperor's grandson Liu Wenhuan, to see if there was any opportunity to show courteousness and wink; the other was, Uncle Guangyang and Prime Minister Zhao Kuangyi There, it's time to move around more.
