Emperor Tongzhi looked at Li Guolou with a smile, as long as a year later, Eniang delegated the right to appoint and dismiss officials to him, and sold the trick of selling the official mantle, he was self-taught, so he was quite concerned about inviting him to come into the bank to operate, Eniang also wanted to pick up a big watermelon, so he would give up the power in his hand, and admonished: "Li Guolou, please come in to the bank to expand, and the funds handed over to the Beiyang Navy Division next year must be in place, and then the whole country will move to chess, and the queen mother of the two palaces will rely on dividends, which is related to my vital interests, who dares to make you stumbling in the local area, I have also taken the position of governor, don't live up to my expectations! ”

Li Guolou said: "Your Majesty, the slaves are doing things properly, the princes and ministers in the court, although they are biased towards the ministers and desperately squeeze the micro-ministers, but the slaves can still put them right, the champion is an accident, because the slave has never talked to the champion alone, and he didn't think about it for a while, as for the queen's mother, it is the slave who should die, listen to slander, and this kind of thing will never happen again in the future!" ”

"Well, there is a familiar process at the beginning, I will also have a thorough understanding of you, other people, no one is so intimate as you, I am pro-government, I will not let the imperial history be scribbled, ten times after ten years, this sentence I remember in my heart, if you want to leave a good impression on the queen's mother, there is only one chance, Concubine Hui, Concubine Yu, and Concubine Xun must also have an explanation, I am optimistic about you in the future, you and I are almost the same age, I have high expectations for you, understand!"

"Hehe, the slave understands, the slave will go to Tianjin this time to buy ten diamonds and gold watches and come back, so that the master can reward people. "Li Guolou is like kneading dough, casually calling the emperor of Tongzhi.

"The diamond is too small, I don't like it, and my mother doesn't like it, but it's still ruby, sapphire inlay, it's the best product." The Tongzhi Emperor had national preferences, and the Qing Dynasty was still more valuable than diamonds.

Li Guolou was overjoyed and said: "Thank you for the master's reminder, the slave almost wanted to be crooked again, hehehehe "Don't mention how proud he is in his heart, the emperor asked him to procure tribute, that is, he appreciates him, and does not treat him as an outsider, there are benefits and shortages, as long as he speaks, the emperor will agree, this kind of disguised betrayal of the official mantle, the two sides tacitly, the emperor of Tongzhi gave him 20,000 taels of silver tickets, whether he wins or loses, he wants to give the emperor ten times the reward, otherwise what is the emperor doing, nagging "ten times!" ”

After talking about private matters, Emperor Tongzhi finally remembered to talk about a few official matters, asked about the progress of the construction of the martial arts hall, as well as the recruitment of students, and asked about the negotiation with the Prussians. I put up with this mouth for the time being.

Near noon, Li Guolou left the study, went straight to the Xihua Gate to invite in the Xishiku branch of the bank, and went to inspect the situation there, the branch president is Fang Datong, and Zheng Hengdan, the secretary of Balizhuang, also went to the Xishiku branch to learn to do business.

Seeing batches of eunuchs and palace guards coming in and out of the bank, Li Guolou was quite pleased, he thought that the way of saving money has changed a lot, using the real-name system to add photos, so that even if the passbook is lost, as long as the person's appearance and household registration information are right, this saving money, there will be no penny, now please come to the bank with the support of the government, no one has Li Guolou backstage hard, the money queue is long, anyway, the eunuchs have time all day long, get together eunuchs, the small plums in their mouths are long and the small plums are short, and they all say that Li Guolou's family is about those things, Seeing Li Guolou inside the counter, he raised his hand to say hello one by one, and he did not shy away from being heard by Li Guolou, who asked Li Guolou to raise the flag, in the final analysis, they are all masters and slaves.

Li Guolou was stunned at the counter, and his family ** was in front of the eunuchs and palace guards, and said, "What three rotten peach blossoms, strange blooming together, and there is an oil bottle behind him." "That's it," little Nippon Mayuko has a big belly, and the time is not right. "Zhen Yuhuan is Prince Gong's used goods." This is too unsightly, where to put him, is this how he ascends?

Li Guolou was embarrassed to look at the face of the person next to him, and said with an embarrassed smile: "It seems that this official is more famous than Hu Xueyan, and it is rare to hear it, so I can rest assured, I don't need to do confidential work, someone has proved it for me!" ”

The people next to him wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, and they all laughed twice, laughing worse than crying.

Li Guolou said to himself: "Success is a price, now we invite into the bank who fights, President Fang, the guests are coming, they must be entertained, do not have verbal conflicts with the guests, I don't mind what others say, the more people gather here, the happier I am, hehehehe!" ”

Li Guolou fled from the Xishiku branch in shame, learned the eunuch thick skin kung fu, and it was the first time to know what the people thought of him, originally he was shrouded in the aura of the god catcher, and the streets and alleys heard that it was all about the legend of the god catching the little plum, it turned out that there was another version, there was no bird eunuch, and he was so damaged, one day he would take revenge, and the dead eunuch was waiting to die.

"Xiaolou." A pleasant and beautiful voice sounded around her, Xie Yunfang was wearing a filial piety suit, her head was tied to a white belt and standing not far from the carriage, Wanshou Lu's second wife Zhi Yunxia had lived in her hometown for many years, and she was resentful, Hongxing went out of the wall, rolled up a sum of money, and ran away with the second housekeeper Wan Kangyong, her husband Wanshou Lu couldn't stand the multiple blows, and died of a heart attack.

"Oh, Mrs. Xie, what's the matter with coming here?" Li Guolou was embarrassed to step on the carriage, turned his head and said a few words to Xie Yunfang, and he didn't know what to say, the ticket number of the ten thousand families was about to be torn apart, and the big families were competing for the family property, and they jumped out one by one.

"Oh, I'll pick up the money, Xiaolou, can you escort me back." Xie Yunfang's words were like orders, with an aggressive momentum.

Li Guolou pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Okay, Mrs. Xie, I'll be a bodyguard!" ”

Li Guolou promised to help Wanshou Lu, even if Wanshou Lu died, Li Guolou still abided by good faith and lent the money to Xie Yunfang, but the crisis of the Wanjia ticket number was still not lifted, and the group effect was generated.

The Wanjia ticket number escorted the guards, put the silver box on the carriage, and slowly walked towards the Wanjia ticket number, Xie Yunfang talked to herself and boarded Li Guolou's carriage, Li Guolou remained silent, nodded slightly at Xie Yunfang, and asked her to sit on the side seat.

Li Guolou didn't look at Xie Yunfang's face, women can sell many things for their own interests, even their own sons, including their bodies, he is not interested in Xie Yunfang, and only for the sake of the interests of the country and the nation will help each other back to Wanjia ticket number.

"Now your ticket number, has it stabilized?" Li Guolou saw that Xie Yunfang was silent, so he could only take the lead in asking.

"Well, sort of." Xie Yunfang brushed a few strands of hair on her forehead, and her amorous eyes turned into a glow.

"That's good, you have 10,000 ticket numbers, there are so many assets, it will be good after a while, now you come forward to do business, with your ability, the business of 10,000 ticket numbers will be prosperous in the future." Li Guolou smiled so sincerely, as if he sincerely admired Xie Yunfang's ability and excellence, in fact, he knew very well in his heart that next year's national policy would be tilted towards inviting in the bank, and the Wanjia ticket number would never have the glory of the past.

Xie Yunfang pursed her lips slightly, glanced at her and said, "As long as you don't kill us, I'm afraid that you have a ghost in your heart!" ”

"How can it be, Mrs. Xie, I have long forgotten my past grievances, and you can come to me if you have any difficulties or problems with your ticket number in the future, and I promise that I will not embarrass you." Li Guolou has no regrets in his heart, he has gained much more than he has lost, and his fiancée Xie Yunfang, who has seen money, has long been erased from his heart.

"That's a good little building, you said, I'm cheeky to beg you now, give me some business to do, you have so many ways to do it, which one can make my Wanjia ticket number turn over next year, tell me now." Xie Yunfang was aggressive and could not tolerate the slightest question.

"I, I, I, when did I owe you, how can I sell my trade secrets, and I make my own money, Mrs. Xie, I just maintain a business relationship with you, and other things don't need to be discussed." Li Guolou is willing to let the other ticket number become bigger and stronger, isn't this a slap in the face.

Xie Yunfang bit her lip and said softly: "Okay, I'll mortgage the five to you and buy it for you, the price is up to you, as long as you point the way, let the Wanjia ticket number get up early and come back to life, I don't want to wake up in a nightmare every day!" ”

"Mrs. Xie, sell me half, fifteen ticket numbers, I will pull a handful of ten thousand ticket numbers, five is too few, how can I let ten thousand family ticket numbers, there is a chance to surpass me in the future, I am also finally able to come out, this time I did not fall into the ground, I am already worthy of Wan Dongjia to mention to my junior, five semicolons, not worthy of our cooperation." Li Guolou rejected Xie Yunfang's request.

The carriage moved forward slowly, there was a noise outside the car, and the atmosphere in the carriage was a little depressing, Xie Yunfang took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes, trembled her shoulders slightly, and sobbed softly.

"Hey." Li Guolou sighed, and didn't look at Xie Yunfang's true feelings, this is a business competition, he took the lead, he didn't rush to kill, and he was already worthy of the conscience of heaven and earth.

"Xiaolou, if you ask, I will tell several shareholders that if they refuse to cooperate, I can't do anything." Xie Yunfang also didn't look at Li Guolou's expression, the two of them had their own thoughts, and they were silent along the way.

"I'm going to Tianjin tomorrow, and I'll be back in about a month, if you figure it out, look for me, and after this year, it's not this price." Li Guolou couldn't bear it, but he still hardened his heart and said cruel words, if you want to succeed in business, you have to hurt others, he is absolutely weak in front of the imperial power, but in front of businessmen, he is overwhelmingly strong and bullying.

The poor can't fight with the rich, the rich can't fight with the officials, the eternal wisdom is the same, and Xie Yunfang is at a disadvantage, even if he has the ability to reach the sky, he can't compete with the officials and businessmen who control the national policy, this battle without gunpowder in the shopping mall, Li Guolou has not made a move, Xie Yunfang has already lost.

"Li Guolou, you are so vicious, there are no outsiders now, tell me the truth, did you find those thieves, don't think I'm so easy to bully." Xie Yunfang suddenly went berserk, with a pair of red eyes, and glared at Li Guolou viciously, as if she wanted to eat him alive.

"Hey." Li Guolou didn't want to argue, Zheng Cripple happened to be involved in the middle of this matter, who can tell clearly, he recovered the loss for the Wanjia ticket number, but was suspected of covering his ears and stealing the bell, and the result of being a good person was to let rumors fly all over the sky, and he cracked a shocking case in one day, no one believed that he was relying on a dog's nose, even his old colleagues and old friends did not believe it, and even handled the case with him, but also had a lot of doubts, sometimes the mediocre is better than the good one, and the too smart person is suspected of being a demon,
