Li Guolou said: "Hmm······ The ten ironclad ships of General Shen's office are still very stable, but I have a suggestion: since the ship is small, don't install so many cannons, I counted at least forty cannons, this kind of small-caliber cannon can only fight wooden plank ships, fight ironclad ships, I'm afraid it will be very difficult to sink the opponent's ironclad ship, I'm afraid it will be a difficult task to complete it."

"Hmph, Li Guolou, don't you know how to pretend to understand, dismantle the cannon on the ironclad ship and use it to transport troops, transport troops and have their own troop carriers, and they can't be mixed up," Shen Baozhen learned to see how Ding Richang dealt with Li Guolou, and he also thought that Li Guolou's brother said something about the Heart Sutra

"General Office Shen, although I don't understand naval warfare, but I am ahead of my thinking, I can not only see the drawbacks, but also come up with a proper solution, you can build an ironclad ship, leaving four to six mobile howitzers, it is enough to find a way to load the army's large-caliber Krupp cannon on the ship, and place one in the front and rear, all the excess bearing capacity is used to load the flower bombs, and one ship can become a sea giant with two cannons," Li Guolou couldn't help but stand up, and waved his fists with his teeth and claws, as if he was the commander of the ship

"It's ridiculous," Shen Baozhen sneered three times, and didn't bother to reason with Li Guolou

"How ridiculous, it's a cannon recoil problem, why are springs used for it, if you use your brains too much, you will die, practice a group of sharpshooters, two shells can sink the enemy, an ironclad ship, as for the problem of cannon barrel fever, hiding one or two spare cannons on the ship can solve your worries, like you are now forty cannons, and the ship is everywhere, this is called waste and stupid, is your training used to fight fishermen, pedantic" Li Guolou flicked his sleeves and showed Shen Baozhen a back, even if all the forty artillery pieces were effective, they could only damage the enemy's ironclad ship, and it was better to cut off one finger to hurt the enemy's ten fingers, relying on the huge power of the Krupp cannon to kill the enemy's ship, and the road was to rely on people to get out, Li Guolou never took the usual road

"Oh······" Shen Baozhen looked at Li Guolou's back and was amazed, it was a great figure, which made people look up to the mountains, Shen Baozhen tapped his temples with two fingers and said: "Xiaolou, your thoughts are too weird, let me think about it."

"If you want to go back, I will try to see an ironclad ship as a test product, and if it is successful, it will be completely modified with the Prussian flowering bomb assembly line, I must introduce it, even if I am a traitor, I will not hesitate to do it," Li Guolou swore to sell the national interests in exchange for development space, this is Li Guolou's strategy, and it is also the established national policy of the Qing Dynasty

"Xiaolou, do you have any other valuable opinions" Shen Baozhen has a correct attitude, and he doesn't dare to underestimate Li Guolou, no wonder Zuo Zongtang also said that Li Guolou is a genius in the sky, and the joint military exercise of the Beiyang Navy Division and the Nanyang Navy Division made Li Guolou have an understanding of the Water Division, no wonder he can lead the reform of the Qing Dynasty at such a young age

Li Guolou trained soldiers, although the training is infantry, and he has not trained the sailor, but the things are the same, as long as he works hard, he can train the elite soldiers who are not afraid of death, as for the soldiers of the Eight Banners, they dare not fight, that is to cover the whole with a piece, everyone has a hero complex in their hearts, he has brought up the Eight Banners, and the soldiers are more fierce than adults, none of them are of a bad race, and the military atmosphere is the key, and the iron is the same as military discipline, even if it is an opium ghost, it can be transformed into a qualified soldier, and can be brave cannon fodder, so Li Guolou does not listen to Shen Baozhen's hard training, and does not like to listen to Shen Baozhen's boasting that his subordinates are all elite soldiers

An army that has never undergone actual combat drills is not glorious, and as for the fate of failure, as a member of the sailors, he never thought that he could be a prisoner in the sea, and Li Guolou did not want to defend the Daqing Sea defense line to the death

"Since General Manager Shen's Nanyang Naval Division has spent a huge amount of money, he is not afraid of spending unjust money, and the officers and men of the reserve naval division must train at least thirty percent more officers and soldiers, and the naval division adopts a rotation system, I think the establishment can be expanded to 5,000 naval divisions, let Huang Qiying train the militia regiment, and the naval division should also reserve talents, and it is okay to bypass the military department." Li Guolou recruited him, he likes to exploit loopholes in national policies, and this is how the armed forces develop and grow

"Xia Guan understands, I fully support the Li Group's entry into the ocean industry, my nephew Lin Tai was a big talent, just returned from the United Kingdom, and can make a modest contribution to your shipping career." Shen Baozhen's secret words were issued, he also supported Li Hongzhang, the Shanghai shipping company, that is, the China Merchants Bureau, handed over to Li Guolou to take care of the Westerners, they all knew that as long as the Qing Dynasty Railway was opened, the transportation would be abolished, and the government-run shipping company would bear the brunt, and the government-run shipping company would be reintegrated was only a matter of time, and the Westernists needed Li Guolou to integrate the shipping companies from all over the world to form a transnational maritime transportation group, and Shen Baozhen wanted to fight for a high-paying position for his nephew Lin Tai, like Ding Huiheng, who would be behind Li Guolou's ass for the rest of his life

"I know what is going on with General Manager Shen, send a telegram to me, I will put your business first," Li Guolou laughed, his ability has been recognized by the majority of Westernists, and the effort has finally paid off, and the local strong support will make him like a tiger, a national wealth will be in his hands, and the Qing Dynasty will develop along the trajectory he has formulated, and whoever opposes him will be against the entire official and eunuch class, and will be crushed to pieces, and even the imperial power cannot touch his interests, he is the uncrowned king

Yelia handed a 500,000 taels of silver ticket to Shen Baozhen, and before the ink was dry, Shen Baozhen asked stupidly: "Mrs. Yelia, what should I do if someone else imitates your handwriting?"

Yelia smiled: "Mr. Shen, such a huge amount of checks, the bank has to check repeatedly, isn't there a telegram, you want to withdraw this money, it will take at least half a day, and others will not be able to withdraw this money even if they pick up this check."

"Oh, I'm relieved, I'm not afraid of being remembered by thieves," Shen Baozhen carefully put the silver ticket in his pocket, and he could only do things if he had money in his pocket, he was praised by the Fujian military and civilians, and the Fujian Shipbuilding Bureau turned losses into profits, which was inseparable from Li Guolou's support

Shen Baozhen's generation joined Prince Gong's disciples, and the next generation of outstanding figures of the Westernization School, that is, the second generation of famous officials who did not have meritorious service, began to worship under Li Guolou, that is, since the Yantai Naval Division exercise, it was out of control, and many second-generation officials of the Li Group found their ideal positions

Yelia's high status changed the rules of the world, she and Li Guolou sent Shen Baozhen to the gate, looked at the green sedan chair and left, and asked: "Xiaolou, is General Manager Shen a corrupt official, will he be corrupt, I will give him a silver ticket?"

"Hey, the third lady doesn't know how to be an official, don't make people laugh, Shen Baozhen is not a corrupt official, but it is inevitable that he will eat a commission when he sits in his seat, and Master Fu Xiang always says that there is a three-point leeway, which is what it means, as for the definition of a corrupt official, he is too greedy, he doesn't do anything when he gets the money allocated by the court, he just wants to do what to do fake accounts and fool the court, this kind of person is a corrupt official, he can do things, and the officials are not corrupt officials, and the husband is not informal, I heard that Shen Baozhen's old house is smoking, a good place, a good scenery." Li Guolou turned back to the courtyard with his hand, and looked at the tall and magnificent pavilion with a lot more than his home, and I don't know what the Balizhuang French Manor will look like after it is completed

"Well, I know where the Qing officials are, after returning to Beijing, I will go to condolence them, and the New Year is about to be celebrated, Xiaolou, do you say that they will throw the condolences in my face?"

"Well, if the third lady wants to be famous, if you want to be famous, you can make people laugh, you can think slowly," Li Guolou looked at the green pines and cypresses, the sky is blue, the sky is green, the sky is blue, and the hearts of the people are insatiable under the white sun

Yelia shook her head and said, "I'm too lazy to use this kind of brain, or let the Seventh Lady think about it, I just keep smiling"

Li Guolou looked sideways at the blonde and blue-eyed Yelia, what a kind goddess, this is his love, if he was asked to choose a woman, he would choose Yelia, and other ladies could give it up, but this is a secret that can never be said, Yelia is his driving force to move forward, and he still has an oath that he has not yet done, that is, to return to France with Yelia, and the triumphal arch will witness the success of Li Guolou and Yelia

Hearing that Xue Fucheng had come to the gate of the courtyard, Li Guolou, in order to show his respect for the countryman, personally walked out of the courtyard to greet Xue Fucheng, this is an exceptional treatment, you must know that according to the official rank, Xue Fucheng wants to sign up to meet Li Guolou, Li Guolou is still a second-grade civil official, but he has long been in power, it is Li Hongzhang, the young version of the Li family, the second master, controls the economic lifeline of the Qing Dynasty, and the iron hat prince also wants to tie up Li Guolou, just to keep up with the pace of industrialization in the Qing Dynasty, the farming society is fertile and the fertile land farm is already an eliminated industrial model, Li Guolou has a match factory with more than ten Huangzhuang output, and if you want to get rich overnight, you must be a big capitalist Prince Lian GongPrince Qing also stammered Li Guolou and said that he was going to take the road of industrial salvation and set up "Firebird Match Factory" in various parts of the motherland, and they wanted to buy silver shares

Li Guolou's family business is successful, and the family will expand to all parts of the motherland, this planning blueprint does not need him to formulate Prince Gong is more energetic than him, Li Guolou's current status is like the chief designer of the Qing Dynasty, by him first in the Gyeonggi area to test the water, after a successful factory, branch factories will spring up like mushrooms after a rain, most of these branch factory investments are funded by the Manchu nobles, this group of national moths found another source of wealth, is to follow the steady profit and not lose money, after the industrial project closed his eyes to make a fortune, he boasted that he was the pioneer of the industrial revolution in the Qing Dynasty

Li Guolou also had no choice, because the wealth of the Qing Dynasty was in the hands of corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and only by making these corrupt officials and corrupt officials richer could he improve the people's living standards, so that the corrupt officials' silver circulated in society was a thousand times stronger than putting it in the cellar, so Prince Qing wanted to make a silver share to make a clear reputation, and the prince advocated that Li Guolou could only accept one million taels of silver tickets from Prince Qing, but Li Guolou did not believe that Prince Qing would change his temper and send a five-foot jade Buddha another day, and sure enough, Prince Qing smiled

Li Guolou smiled and stepped out of the courtyard, Xue Fucheng and Ding Huiheng waited for the door, and before Li Guolou could speak, Ding Huiheng knelt down in front of Li Guolou and shouted: "The life of the master and slave will be handed over to you in the future."

Li Guolou glanced at Xue Fu angrily, and supported Ding Huiheng in steps, and said: "Mr. Ding is a great talent, and in the future, no one can see your value compared to formality, it is a loss of the Qing Dynasty, how can I let Meiyu become a stubborn stone without edges and corners, come here, please talk about business plans together, with the assistance of you two masters, my Li business empire will definitely go to the world, hehehehe"

A real smile infects everyone, Li Guolou is acting all the time, thinking about the question with his lower body, Ding Huiheng is Li Guolou's opponent, and suddenly burst into tears and choked up: "Master Li, Gao Feng Liangjie is willing to take me in, after I can only bow and die, and then I have invited him to the bank to do a good job in the southern business."

Li Guolou secretly hated Xue Fucheng for saying something big to Ding Huiheng behind his back, but now is not the time to attack, and when the insurance industry has eyebrows in the future, Xue Fucheng's bones are like a spring breeze: "Hey, Mr. Ding doesn't talk about specific business today, only about planning blueprints, laying out the overall situation, and letting his subordinates do the work, I don't want you to work too hard, and you have fifty years to live freely."

"Yes, I have told my fortune that I can live to be a hundred years old, Lord Li is so blessed to have many sons and grandchildren," Ding Huiheng couldn't hear what Li Guolou said, and thought that after finding a confidant, they could enjoy the wind and the moon together

Xue Fucheng swaggered into the dining room without any intention, he had successfully stepped into this threshold, and in the future, he would be a frequent guest of Li Guolou's house, and the four generous housewives bent their knees slightly to thank him, Xue Fucheng was shocked and exclaimed: "Ah, hey, the four heroines must not be helped, isn't this a torture to kill the old man?"

"Mr. Xue, we haven't seen you for several years, you're still the same," Zhen Yuhuan knew Xue Fucheng and spoke first

"Well, President Zhen has changed, and the murderous aura on his body is gone," talented people are a little arrogant, Xue Fucheng said one thing on his lips, but the big Malaysian golden knife sat on the north and south main seat, and put himself in the middle calmly, and picked up the steaming teacup from the middle of the tea set from Mayuko

Li Guolou secretly rejoiced that someone finally defected to him, this is a legendary figure in the Qing Dynasty, he grew up listening to Xue Fucheng's story, and wanted to become a character like Xue Fucheng, the enemy camp was a big harvest in the enemy camp, and Xue Fucheng taught him a lesson, that is, how to use the invisible resource of the second generation of officials

almost offended Ding Huiheng's wife, and he wouldn't die if he gave people a few more looks, Ding Huiheng wanted to cuckold him, and he still owed a little heat

Ding Huiheng glanced around, and he didn't dare to peep, the four housewives secretly hated themselves for being cheap, why did they spend silver on Fengyue, the place should have long ago collected a few foreign girls with national characteristics, or foreign girls have taste, and they can also take them out to show off, and learn from the lord in the future, first marry the Oriental beauty Junzi to avenge the lord, and put the little wife in Baoquan into the tent

Ding Huiheng made up his mind to turn his face with Bao Quanzhong, and straightened his chest, thinking that he was a loyal disciple of Li Guolou, for the sake of the lord's reputation, he would kill Bao Quanzhong, and carry the sedan chair into the house

"The lord, the four masters, this is a disciple's prayer, please accept the disciple," Ding Huiheng watched a lot of plays, and heard a lot of rumors about Li Guolou, so he turned over and knelt down to meet Li Guolou with the rules of the underworld

Li Guolou was taken aback, and looked at Xue Fucheng, he was doing innocent business, and the official businessman had already dissociated himself from the past, how could he recruit disciples in the form of gangsters

Xue Fucheng didn't expect Ding Huiheng to come, and hurriedly smiled: "Grandson Ding, you are looking for a little more to draw up, and Master Li will treat you as a confidant."

"Oh, thank you, the four housewives," Ding Huiheng got up, didn't dare to look up at Zhen Yuhuan, because he handed over his forehead, and the post had been received by Zhen Yuhuan, and the meaning was self-evident, he wanted to be loyal to Zhen Yuhuan, the seventh master, and the rules of the rivers and lakes, he still understood Li Guolou's family, and sure enough, there was a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, and even the housewife was so strong
