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." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

The Guangchu Division is the imperial tent room in the palace, and all the deposits are the silver of the Empress Dowager Cixi.

Hearing that Yan Jingming let him use his private money, the Empress Dowager Cixi was greatly displeased, and said with a sinking face: "The Guangchu Division is the royal treasury, don't you know?" Well, as long as you can allocate an additional amount of money to the Guangchu Division, you can also be allocated by the Guangchu Division. ”

"The ministers should release the money of the inner court every month, and there are clear regulations, how dare the ministers change it without authorization?"

"According to what you say, you should take the money yourself!" The Empress Dowager Cixi finally couldn't help it, and said angrily: "The household department is a place for office affairs, is it a private matter for the mourning family to repair the garden?" ”

Seeing that the Empress Dowager Cixi was furious, Yan Jingming simply took off his hat and kowtowed:

"The ministers have no way to manage their finances, please ask the Queen Mother to govern the ministers for the crime of dereliction of duty."

"You ......" Empress Dowager Cixi didn't expect him to come with such a hand, she was so angry that her color changed greatly, and she pointed at Yan Jingming and said, "You retreat!" ”

Stinky Yan Lao Xi'er, dare to pull teeth in the tiger's mouth, so that you can see the interests of our family!

After Yan Jingming withdrew, Li Lianying hurriedly stepped forward and said, "The master is angry, and his body and bones are important. This Yan Jingming is also too bold, according to the minion, it is not as good as ......"

"Say no more!" Empress Dowager Cixi's anger subsided a little, and after thinking about Yan Jingming's achievements since he became the head of the household, she said: "Maybe he is really nervous, otherwise he won't disagree." ”

"Alas, master, you always think about their difficulties, but who of them thinks about you? You don't know, but now the word has long been spread everywhere: 'You have to eat and go to the Ministry of Officials, talk about dressing to the household department, drink water and supplement the department, and if you can do evil, it is the criminal department, and you must starve to the Ministry of Rites.' 'Lafayette thinks, can he have no money?' ”

"It's all hearsay, and it's not necessarily true. You see his robe, it is tattered, but you can imagine that he is ......"

"Master, he's deceiving you!" Before the Empress Dowager Cixi finished speaking, Li Lianying had the courage to speak:

"No matter how poor the household is, it won't be impossible to buy a robe. If even Yan Jingming can't afford to wear a robe, wouldn't these Qingshui Yamen of the Ministry of Rites be even more frozen? ”

Reasonable! Listening to Li Lianying's words, the Empress Dowager Cixi couldn't help but nodded, and her meaning seemed to be a little moved.

Seeing this, Li Lianying took the opportunity to play again: "Although this Yan Jingming's name has the word 'respect', he is really disrespectful. The servants heard that he often told people, "Master, you are afraid of him, and you dare not call him by his name, but only 'Danon'."

As soon as she heard this, the Empress Dowager Cixi couldn't help but be furious, give you a wheat stalk, you are actually a crutch!

Immediately sent an edict to Yan Jingming, the Minister of Military Aircraft, to send an envoy to the Ministry of Officials. In her opinion, Weng Tong and this person have no quarrel with the world and no grievances with others, so they should be the most suitable candidates.

Who thinks that this Weng Tonghe is a person who abides by the etiquette and law system, and he heard that he wanted the household department to allocate funds to repair the garden, and even if he played the book, he would strive to discuss it before.

The Empress Dowager Cixi read the performance, and she was even more angry, this is worth it!

When even if he planned to dismiss Weng Tonghe and never use it, Emperor Guangxu pleaded with all his might for the sake of teacher and student, and the Empress Dowager Cixi was a little angry, and transferred Weng Tonghe to the Qingshui Yamen of the Ministry of Rites, and chose another person who was close to him to preside over the affairs of the household department.

With the money, the construction of the Summer Palace was carried out again. But the annual surplus of the household department is less than 10 million, and the expenditure is extremely large, how much money can be allocated? With this lesson, the Empress Dowager Cixi had to take precautions.

Who are you looking for this time? Naturally, it is still the big master Li Hongzhang!

"Lianying, it's not a way for the mourning family to go on like this, you have to have millions of silver to prepare first, so as not to have no money to make it when you get it, what do you say?"

"What the master said is that if the repair is stopped like this, it is uncertain when it will be completed." For Li Lianying, the more silver the better, and the more silver he has, the more oil and water he can make for himself.

"Now that the yamen that can pay for it are all out, do you see where else it comes from?" The Empress Dowager Cixi had no choice but to turn to Li Lianying for help.

"Isn't it easy!" Li Lianying said without thinking: "One boat is two or three million silver, but I just buy two fewer boats." ”

This reminded the Empress Dowager Cixi. Not long ago, the provinces pledged to raise funds for the navy, and the two rivers and the two provinces must have a huge amount of money to repay the results, so they said to themselves: "We must urge them in a solid way." ”

Li Lianying knew what she was referring to, and said, "This is naturally necessary." However, when the provinces report to Beijing, it will be the end of the year, and I am afraid that it will be delayed. ”

"That?" The Empress Dowager Cixi was stunned and asked, "What should I do then?" ”

"When the slave went to Tianjin last time, I heard that foreigners believed in Li Zhongtang very much. The slave thought that as long as he was willing to come forward to borrow, one or two million would be nothing more than a sentence. ”

"Oh! Li Hongzhang has such great ability? ”

"That's natural! Lafayette, you value him, and foreigners will naturally believe him. Master, don't you also say that he is quite talented in foreign affairs? ”

This invisible compliment made the Empress Dowager Cixi feel extremely comfortable.

"That's right! However, it is inconvenient for the mourning family to tell him about this matter, so let the alcohol prince go and tell him. ”

When he heard that he was going to borrow money to repair the garden, Prince Alcohol only felt dizzy, cold and bitter, and looked like he was sick and fell down. "It's not hard to see people carrying the burden."

Now, he finally understands the suffering of Prince Gong back then. If you don't borrow, sooner or later the money will have to come out of the navy; Borrow it, but what can you pay back? Besides, if this matter of borrowing foreign money to repair the garden is spread, won't he leave a stench for 10,000 years!

"Laishan, what do you think should happen about this?" Prince Alcohol had no choice but to turn to the think tank Sun Minwen.

"Lord Wang, the Queen Mother already has an idea about this matter. In any case, you can't brush off the queen mother's intentions! I think the prince might as well do as he is told. ”

"I think so too, but how will I pay it back in the future? Besides, if the money borrowed to repair the garden, if the rumors go out, can there be no reaction on the road? Prince Alcohol said with a slight disguise.

"The prince is too worried! The Queen Mother asks you to borrow it, you borrow it, how to repay it in the future, the Queen Mother will naturally find a way. As for the road, the prince might as well use the name of establishing a naval academy to secretly instruct Li Zhongtang to do it! ”

Prince Alcohol could have a better way, thought for a while, and then nodded in agreement.

Li Hongzhang didn't know that this move was a great disapproval of the world.

If you don't borrow it, the money has to come from the navy's funds, and after thinking about it, you have to secretly ask Tianjin Customs Dao Zhou Fu to contact him privately.

This is a good opportunity to control the Great Qing Kingdom! At present, HSBC allows to borrow 2 million at an annual interest rate of 6%, which will be repaid in two years; The Oriental Bank of France is willing to borrow two million at the annual interest rate of 5.75 per cent, converted into British pounds, and repaid in ten years; Deutsch-Hua Bank is willing to borrow 1 million at an annual interest rate of only 5.5% and a relatively long term.
