Say goodbye, and finally the upper beam. With Li Lianying'www.biquge.info s order, I saw fifty craftsmen in green clothes and black coats carrying a huge pine girder in the majestic sound of the trumpet.

There is a neat gossip yin and yang fish pattern pasted on the beam, and there is a pair of couplets on both sides: "the upper beam meets six horses, and the column meets three odds", and the colorful silk in the middle is flying in the wind, which is very good-looking.

In the midst of a deafening sound of firecrackers, the pine girders slowly rose and stood firmly in the middle, followed by a burst of cheers. Prior to this, the rest of the beams had been installed and could be capped as soon as the girders were installed.

Although the Paiyun Hall is not completed, its skeleton is magnificent and it is completely palace magnificent. Coupled with Li Lianying's depiction of sound and color, everyone praised it again and again.

"I didn't see it, Manager Li is still a civil and military all-rounder, and he knows everything, the Queen Mother will definitely be satisfied with her old man!" Qing Wang Ye Yixuan gave a thumbs up and praised Li Lianying.

"Where, where? This is all the master's arrangement, how dare our family be proud. ”

"Yes! This building has both the taste of the south of the Yangtze River and the atmosphere of the north, and the structural layout is rigorous and generous, which can really be said to be seamless! The alcohol prince Yiyun couldn't help but open his mouth.

Only Li Hongzhang sat on the side and said nothing. He knows Li Lianying too well, first sweet and then bitter, this little trick can be hidden from others, but he can't hide it from him Li Hongzhang!

While laughing, someone had already put on a banquet. Everyone sat down in turn, and after a few words of greeting, they saw Li Lianying take the engineering drawing from Lishan, handed it to everyone, and said:

"Ladies and gentlemen, how is this designed?"

"Good, great! The rippling lake, the splendid palace, and the winding corridor are really ordinary. Qing Wang Ye Yixuan was half admiring and half complimenting.

"Alas!" I saw Li Lianying sigh and say, "The master said the same!"

It's just that this project is being put into practice, and it takes money! All the adults are the gods of wealth, and it depends on you that you can't make it happen. ”

Just know you have this hand! When Li Hongzhang heard this, he was even more silent; Yi Xun also understood, and hurriedly closed his mouth; Prince Yi rubbed his beard and leisurely looked at the sparkling Kunming Lake, as if nothing had happened.

Li Lianying glanced at it with her eyes, and said in a tone that seemed a little aggressive:

"Ladies and gentlemen, if this project cannot be completed on schedule, how will the master and her old man feel? If she can get her wish, then what will her old man think of you? ”

"Manager", Yixuan was frightened by Li Lianying's beating and pulling, and finally couldn't help but speak:

"You don't know that firewood, rice, oil and salt are expensive, I'm really stretched! It's just to repair the garden for the Queen Mother, I'll think of a way when I go back, but it won't be too much, only two or three hundred thousand taels. ”

Two hundred thousand taels? It's not enough to pick your teeth! Li Lianying looked at Li Hongzhang with her eyes again, who thought that Li Hongzhang looked directly at the lake with his eyes, and pretended not to see it.

What can I do? Li Lianying couldn't help but turn to Prince Alcohol again, which reminded him of this Minister of Supervision of the Summer Palace.

"Lord Wang, what do you think should be done about this?"

Prince Alcohol was angry at Li Lianying's aggressive words just now, and as soon as he heard him ask himself, he said coldly:

"Don't you know how much money was spent on the navy's yamen? I think it's better to ask the Queen Mother about this. If there is a mistake, no one can afford it! ”

The originally jubilant banquet ended unhappily. But no matter what, the garden must not be repaired! In desperation, Li Lianying had no choice but to come to see the Empress Dowager Cixi.

"The slave greets the master."

"It's really time for you to come!" Suddenly, I only heard the Empress Dowager Cixi sneering twice, and said: "You bold slave, let you go to supervise the garden, and you actually covered yourself first!" Say, what the hell is going on! ”

"The master is angry, and the slave will never dare to hide it!" Li Lianying was suddenly dumbfounded, hurriedly knelt on the ground, kowtowed like pounding garlic and said: "A while ago, the slave's younger brother came to Beijing and had no place to live, so the slave built a room in Caihefang. ”

"Such a coincidence? Where did the money come from, maybe it was the money that was used to repair the garden? ”

"No matter how bold the slave is, he won't dare to use your master's money. Half of this silver is the minions' usual silver, and the second is ...... It's given by people on weekdays. ”

"If you let the mourners know, you can be careful." The Empress Dowager Cixi believed Li Lianying's words a little.

Li Lianying hurriedly said: "The slave will never dare to hide it!" The slave still has tens of thousands of taels of silver, and he wants to honor his master. ”

As soon as she heard this, the Empress Dowager Cixi immediately smiled and believed it: "Get up." Why don't you hurry up and repair the garden, and then run back? ”

The Empress Dowager Cixi breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the cold sweat on her forehead with her sleeve, and said: "How dare the slave not hurry, but now that there is no silver, the slave can't use it!" ”

"What did the alcohol prince say?"

"There is no way for the prince to do it, let the slave come and ask the master to see how to deal with it."

"What is there to think about in the mourning family? You don't have a lot of ghost ideas on weekdays, tell me, is there any way? ”

The slave thought, will this make the household squeeze out? I heard that the household department has a surplus of 10 million taels every year. ”

As soon as the Empress Dowager Cixi heard that the household was rich, she didn't care about it, and hurriedly ordered Li Lianying to pass Yan Jingming in.

Yan Jingming, the word Danchu. He looks really obscene, his body is less than five feet, his face is like a jujube core, and his two eyes are one big and one small. But because he is good at financial management, he is favored by the Empress Dowager Cixi.

When the Empress Dowager Cixi summoned her, she often called him "Dan Weng", and the treatment was very generous. At this time, although he was the Minister of Military Aircraft, he was still in charge of the household affairs.

"Minister Yan Jingming asked the Queen Mother to say goodbye. I don't know what the Queen Mother summoned her ministers to order? ”

The Empress Dowager Cixi smiled and said, "Get up and talk back." Now the money in the garden is relatively tight, see if you can find a way.

"The Queen Mother, the household department has the world's funds, and there is a fixed amount of income and expenditure. I'm just afraid ......"

"Dan Weng," interrupted the Empress Dowager Cixi, "the mourning family has heard that the household department has a surplus of 10 million taels every year. ”

"Queen Mother, the household department has not had many deposits in the treasury recently, and now the revitalization of the navy has to raise a large amount of money, although the ministry has a surplus of 10 million taels every year, but all the expenses are too much, and it is not enough to control.

The Summer Palace is the place where the Queen Mother rests, and the ministers should make contributions to the year, but they plan to ask the navy to raise enough money before submitting it. ”

"There's no money in the garden right now, and work has stopped, you know?" The Empress Dowager Cixi was a little displeased.

Yan Jingming is extremely stubborn on weekdays, and when he saw this scene, regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one, he played: "Since this is the case, why don't the Queen Mother ask the Guangchu Department of the Internal Affairs Department to solve the emergency first." (To be continued.) )
