Duan Fang actually knew that the capital was a big colander, not to mention the yamen such as the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, and the Guanglu Temple, and even the filthy things in the military aircraft department in the noon gate, and the chatter in the teahouse in Dashilar did not stay overnight. The news of his coming to Shandong, as long as there is a person who wants to check, he can't hide it for a long time, but his exact itinerary has not even been told by the benefactor Ronglu, this deputy actually knows everything about it, looking at this posture, the chief officials of the various prefectures and prefectures have been summoned, obviously not waiting here for several days in advance, obviously they have calculated their own itinerary, and the officials from all over the country who have been notified of the distance have come to greet them, so that it can be such a coincidence.

If you enter the provincial border, play the banner, walk slowly for thirty days a day, it is common sense for officials from all over the country to wait to see the provincial capital, and this group of chief officials to the provincial border to greet seems to give themselves a great face, but it is a reputation to spread to the imperial court, and if there are some cat's eyes in the state capitals here, the chief official is not on duty, and it will affect himself if he doesn't do it well. What's even more odious is that he can only pretend to be smiling, gentle and gentle, if he has the slightest misdemeanor, he is afraid that he will have a reputation as arrogant and intolerant among the officials of the state capital, and immediately become an outlier among the officials. Waiting for the end of the side was sent to the natural inn of Linqing by Wu Chenxuan and other officials like a moon, in the interval between washing and changing clothes and attending the dinner, he held his breath and saw a few Goshha drinking tea and joking outside the house, and the conversation was full of how his master was majestic today, if it was in the past, Duan Fang might have laughed and passed by, and would not worry about a few rough men, but he wanted to calm down and rationalize his thoughts, listening to the laughter and conversation of Goshha was like a steel needle piercing his dough, and Duan Fang, who had been nourishing for many years, couldn't help it. A tea cup powder body and bones stepped on the brakes for the laughter outside, looking at Goshha who was pretending to be guarding outside, Duan Fang was also helpless for a while, and he didn't know the situation of Fubiao, but he thought it was as useless as other provinces, if he knew a little bit about this deputy, I was afraid that he couldn't even stand a stick of incense by relying on these goods outside the door. Suddenly, a thought hit his heart: "Since the other party knows his itinerary well, with the elite new army in his hand, there is an opportunity to hack himself in the two days and two nights in Zhili, and then just blame the remnants of the Boxer." The other party did not do this, on the one hand, I am afraid that he did not want the court to be suspicious, and on the other hand, he looked down on himself at all, thinking that it was irrelevant to let him take office. Duan Fang survived an hour of fear and humiliation, and a sumptuous feast was eaten with the same chewing wax.

Although Dongchang Mansion is not as prosperous as Jinan Mansion, Tai'an Mansion and Yanzhou Mansion, it is already underground in the world compared to the Bachang Dao that he himself served. On the official ship in Dongchang Mansion, this time it is a diesel engine tugboat produced by the standard factory, the noise is an order of magnitude smaller than that of the steam engine ship of the paddle wheel, and the officials are all in the middle and rear of the fleet. It only took a morning, the fleet entered the Wuliu Gate, turned into the Sijia Wharf of Daming Lake, and went ashore, Shandong's Xuezheng took the master and Gongsheng of the general government to wait on the shore, and the group came to the Qiuliu Poetry Society on the shore, and chanted poems against each other, flattery, and then these sour shows were sent away, and the end party pushed down the banquet of the Yamen of the Inspector in the evening on the grounds of physical fatigue, and stayed in the Governor's Yamen. After Lao Yuan left, the Shandong governor's yamen was deserted for more than half a year, and now it finally has some popularity, but the chamber of commerce has already carefully arranged it. There is also a little worry that the end of the bed is exhausted, into the bedroom and fell on the couch originally intended to crook for a while, but I didn't expect to sleep until the palm of the lamp, the dazed end of the party did not call the family into the service, he groped for the tea bowl on the table before going to bed, a sip of herbal tea, a fierce spirit of the fierce brother, complained that he slept steadily, this bedroom and his own home layout is the same, even the bed of the wood lacquer color, the thickness of the mattress, the style of the case, and even the two pots of jasmine on the flower shelf are so familiar, It seems that there is a person who deliberately arranges it according to the shape of his own home, which certainly has the meaning of pleasing himself, but it is done so tightly without any warning in advance, I am afraid that the information revealed in it is subtle: since you can sneak into your own house unconsciously and obtain the details of the layout here, either there are other party's spies in the inner house, or the other party has a group of snitches who come and go, no matter what the situation, I am afraid that your inner house is under the control of the other party, If the other party uses the life of the family as a bargaining chip, can he continue to sit firmly on the Diaoyutai? The kitchen had already prepared the meal, but unfortunately Lord Duanfang had no appetite now, so he had to be hot and hot, and finally Duanfang only used some millet porridge and continued to be alone in the study in a daze.

For more than ten days, the end side is on time, get off work at the point, and deal with government affairs are all Xiao Gui Cao Sui, without the sharpness of the new official, so that some of the guys who are bound by the rules of the Chamber of Commerce are puzzled and hesitant and dare not rush to come out, although there is more Tianwang Laozi, but it seems to be like an invisible person, and there is no sense of existence at all, and the officialdom in Shandong was calm and calm for a while.

Mao'er Hutong in Sijiu City, an ordinary two-entry Siqing courtyard, is like the house of ordinary five- and six-grade poor Beijing officials, but who can know that this is actually the outer residence of Qing Wangye. The green brick path in the yard, the sycamore leaves, the ground is golden, and the official boots are rustling when they are stepped on, and you can hear the hairs in the cracks of people's bones.

"Isn't this Lord Rong, a rare guest." King Qing, who was sitting on the couch and was swallowing clouds and spitting mist, raised his head and said hello, and continued the fairy smoke he enjoyed. Rong Lu has long been accustomed to seeing this kind of style of Qing Wangye, anyway, even if Lafayette is here now, he has to finish his addiction before he can do business, the maid sent a cup of incense, the warm tea fragrance slightly relieved the smell of smoke bubbles in the room, but Rong Lu still couldn't stop coughing, after a violent dry cough, Rong Lu stuffed the handkerchief covering his mouth back into the sleeve tube, and knew that there was a faint blood in it without looking.

"Lord Rong, I'm so excited today, I don't know what advice I have for coming to this cold kiln." Qing Wangye and Rong Lu were both smokers, Rong Lu was seriously ill last year and had to quit smoking, and he has been estranged from Qing Wangye for more than half a year, so Rong Lu didn't take it to heart at all.

"The prince said with a smile, Zhonghua is here to tell the prince an interesting thing, maybe he can make the prince smile."

"Well, Zhonghua, what you said is true, that's good, Xiao Wang will listen to it."

"The end of the Totek family, I don't know if you are familiar with the prince?"

"It's the one in your banner who is quite close to Kang Manzi, hasn't he been released? What's the matter, what's going on? ”

"It's not just Joe. The prince didn't know that last month, this kid left the door of Gonggong Li in the palace, handed over the errand of the Jingli Agricultural and Industrial Bureau, and released the governor of Shandong. ”

"yes, isn't that good? It is worthy of our three flags in Manchuria, and there is another character in the white flag, you have a lot of face as the flag owner. ”

", oh, please forgive the offset. This kid got the edict last month and went to work in a hurry, he has never been a Xinjiang minister, he is not very familiar with the rules, and he didn't have time to greet the local government. Shandong side is also aware of the interest, the political envoy Wu brought a group of provincial officials at the provincial border to greet a square, but also his Duanfang's home inside and out of the thorough, even the bed is according to the old house in the capital to arrange, Xu is the local enthusiasm is like fire, to make Duanfang this kid frightened, the family moved the place overnight before dare to be bold in Shandong. As a result, now the first three cannons of the Qitian leasing system, the sorting out of commercial taxes, and the reorganization of regimental training that he has drummed up are two and a half dumb, and you say that this slave is not angry. ”

"The three fires of this new official taking office are also considered to be a common practice between the DPRK and China, is it possible that there are still Shandong officials who dare to disobey orders in a strong way, why is this still two and a half dumb? What kind of cannon is that half of it, Lord Rong might as well tell it so that Xiao Wang can also gain knowledge. ”

The face was gentle and really like listening to a fun Yixuan actually smiled bitterly in his heart, and said in his heart Where is the end of your family, I am the mansion of an iron hat king, and he Wu Chenxuan also comes when he wants to, and he can leave if he wants. It's this fairy smoke, and now it's also a noose around the neck, a few guys from the Yushitai last time weren't you Rong Lu pouted his nose and raised his eyes at the new army of Wuyi, and leaked the news, but he Wu Chenxuan was not satisfied that I couldn't crush these bedbugs directly, and he was stunned by the excuse of dredging the canal, and he didn't send the red box of Indian soil for half a month, and almost didn't give me my life, that kind of feeling of ten thousand ants biting on the heart is really worse than death, It was all thanks to Tong Ren Tang to give a hundred-year-old mountain ginseng, and the remaining bit of Indian slag in the iron box was mixed with the best cloud soil, and three meals a day could be regarded as leaving half a life. Do you still remember that the Indian soil and Wu Chenxuan of the Jardine Matheson Foreign Company that the Eight Hundred Miles of Xinghuo Ride from the Governor of Liangguang provided were completely two-way goods, and after taking two mouthfuls, I had the urge to participate in the Boxer and fight the British, what kind of thing? Anyway, I am also the prince of a country, and the British are stunned to partner with Wu Chenxuan, which is too bullying. Now I can get more than 400,000 taels of Guanping silver from Shandong every year, and then put it in the investment agency of the Chamber of Commerce to lend, and it can become more than 600,000 yuan in the second year.

"What a half cannon, ahem." Rong Lu had another dry cough, "It's Qitian leasing." There are many ancestral industries of banner people in Jinan Prefecture and Dexian County in Shandong, and there were also unsatisfactory people who traded ancestral fields with Han people privately, and some rented them to Han people for farming, but the land rent was not as good as that of the surrounding Han landlords. This end wanted to leave more ancestral business for the banner people, so it was ordered that the fields of the banner people could be openly rented to the Han people, and the land rent was set at 60%, exempt from taxes, and the conditions were favorable. Unexpectedly, the flag people all followed the order and hung up the sign of renting, but the Han people in Jinan Mansion were united this time, putting 100,000 acres of fertile land, and some people were stunned to see that no one rented. Seeing that the solar term of summer planting is about to pass, the flag people who could have more or less privately leased some rent saw that there was no harvest, and they also complained that Duanfang Dog was nosy with rats. The slaves at this end saw that the flag field was leased, and the rent was not rented, and half a cannon was fired. The other two decrees simply became ornaments, and the governors of each province asked for silver to take care of, and those who pushed three and four blocked were to get a lawsuit with the blue top below all day long, and the good governor yamen became a vegetable market. You said that this slave did a good job in Zhili Fudao, I thought it was a person who could make things happen, but I didn't expect to be transferred to a rich place like Shandong, and I didn't even go down for a round and made a fuss, do you say this slave is too useless. Rong Lu said quickly, and coughed for a while.

Qing Wangye looked at Rong Lu, who coughed into a prawn, thinking about Wu Chenxuan's smiling tiger's methods, and couldn't help but feel some pity and sympathy for this old guy who was kind and hateful, and said in his heart: "It's not that our army is incompetent, it's just that the communist army is too cunning!" ”
