After Breaking Off My Marriage, I Became A Powerful Minister's Treasure (3)

Chapter 547: Exactly

Liang Youxiao didn't care about what a public administrative house could provide him, so he had to fight for it himself and then slap his uncles and brothers in the face.

He wanted his family to know that even if he didn't become an official and took another path, he would still be better off than them in the future.

It was true that he had some benefits now by relying on the public administrative house, but he also forked out a lot of money every year to support his family's development.

He had never thought of relying on the public administrative house in the future.

When his grandfather was no longer around, his biological father would retire, and his eldest brother would inherit the public administrative house. It would definitely be a different situation.

His sister-in-law was narrow-minded.

When she swayed his eldest brother through pillow talk every day, would his brother not have a grudge?

Therefore, it was better for him to rely on himself instead of others.

He wanted to fight for his career himself and for the sake of his future children and grandchildren.

Actually, he could become an official, but his development would be quite limited.

There were only so many seats in the imperial court, and the emperor would not allow the public administrative houses to occupy much of it.

Not only did he have to compete with his brothers, but he also had to prevent them from stabbing him in the back.

Moreover, the possibility of him being valued by the emperor was not high if he relied on his family's resources to advance.

Then why did he have to fight with his brothers for an official position that did not have much real power?

His goal was not the small piece of land his brothers and cousins in the public administrative house were fighting for.

Going for a sea expedition was a great opportunity he had access to, so he had to seize it.

Xi Rui patted him on the shoulder. "Sure, I'll support you!

"It just so happens that I'm going to the palace tomorrow to see the empress dowager, so I'll help you pass on the message."

It was only now that he realized that his good brother's ambition was not only to be the number one merchant in Daliang, but also to gain power.

He just wanted to be a dandy who ate, drank, and played.

Everyone had their own ambitions.

Liang Youxiao put his arm around Xi Rui's shoulder. "Good brother!"

The two of them then changed the topic.

"By the way, do you have any thoughts about Baili?" Xi Rui asked.

Liang Youxiao thought for a moment. "To be honest, I have a good impression of Baili. She's a soft and gentle girl with a personality.

"If I had to choose between the women of the aristocratic families and Baili, I would choose Baili as my wife.

"But I still have to conquer the ocean and see the stars, so old Xiao and Qingluo may not let Baili choose me," he said with a smile.

To him, his career was the most important thing now.

"I probably won't get married before I succeed."

He didn't even know if he could come back alive from the sea.
