Liu Yong, the son of Liu Tongxun, was born into an official family and was hired as a scholar in the 16th year of Qianlong. The Qing Dynasty under the rule of Qianlong was prosperous and powerful, and the king himself loved luxury very much, so the wind of luxury rose above the court he later ruled. At that time, there were many corrupt officials in the Qing Dynasty, the most famous of which was Xiao Shenyang. Not to mention the wealthy side. As soon as Emperor Jiaqing came to power, he copied the real estate in Shenyang, which was actually worth the national income of the Qing Dynasty for fifteen years. This is just the money that little Shenyang is greedy for ink. At that time, at the end of Qianlong, there were many corrupt officials. Although the money embezzled by these corrupt officials is not as much as that of small Shenyang, it is not a small income.
It is natural for corrupt officials to show filial piety to their superiors when they have money, and these big officials have been honored, so it is natural to show filial piety to Gan Long. So when Qianlong celebrated his birthday, these ministers desperately presented treasures to Qianlong. But Emperor Qianlong himself is a collector, and he is also a king. He has the best things in the world. So these ministers have their own ideas, and the treasures they offer are all treasures among treasures. In this way, Emperor Qianlong will receive special respect, and perhaps his career will flourish.
This Liu Yong is the home of three generations of bureaucrats. He must have some money. It should be no problem for him to send one or two pieces of jewelry for his birthday, but the problem is that ordinary jewelry has long been out of Qianlong's eyes, and he sent it himself, without Qianlong's attention, wasting his own money. Unlike other officials, he lives on salary, and he is honest and does not accept bribes. So he wisely decided to send a bucket of ginger to Gan Long, instead of ordinary jewelry, taking its homonym "unify the whole country" to win a good prize. Sure enough, Gan Long got a freewheeling big favor.
