In fact, whether in real life or in ancient times, trying to please your boss is an eternal topic. This requires knowing what the boss really wants, and the so-called giving it what it wants is the way it is. Then let's see what kind of person Gan Long is! Qianlong ascended the throne without blowing off dust, and the country was thriving, which made the perfect old man particularly proud. It was not easy to give him a gift and win his favor.
Let's look at Liu Yong again. He is not as rich as Navid. As an honest official, it is not so easy for him to prepare a gift for Qianlong to satisfy the emperor. But the clever Liu Yong knew that Qianlong was very satisfied with himself and the Qing Dynasty, so the gift of unifying the whole country won the favor of the emperor as soon as it was sent out.
When other officials laughed at Liu Yong's shabby gift, I didn't expect Gan Long to be so happy. I think this gift is very clever and great. In fact, this also tells us a truth, that is, the gift doesn't care how expensive it is, but should be sent to the recipient's heart.
