Chapter 583: The Big Train of the Western Building
Li Guolou left the Forbidden City in a happy mood, holding a jade Ruyi, which was given to Du Eniang by Emperor Tongzhi, so that he could marry Du Eniang into the house as soon as possible. The state affairs were negotiated in a joke, the military aircraft department could not go through, and the peaks and loops turned in a moment, and the Tongzhi Emperor agreed to expand the military army into ten battalions. This is the number of fate, warning him not to pretend to be a gentleman, and to be a casual and talented man, so that Emperor Tongzhi can use it with confidence.
Along the way, the eunuchs in the palace were respectful to Li Guolou, but there were also palace maids who glared at Li Guolou, and Li Guolou knew it well, that was the queen Alut's cronies, in fact, he was respectful to the queen and filial piety. But people always have to stand in line, he went to the queen mother of the two palaces, and wore a Wanshou Mountain superintendent hat, which made the queen Arut very unhappy and made him angry between the two generations of queens. Fortunately, the Empress Alut Emperor Tongzhi was not favored there, and it did not have a bad impact on his career, but it was always a trouble, and the queen's family stayed away from it and did not want to be poisoned.
The wealth outside the Xihua Gate was already waiting for Li Guolou, and he came from the Old Summer Palace to pick up Li Guolou, looking at the wealth and gold wearing a six-grade official robe, with a bright and charming smile, the two came to a big hug and sat in the carriage hand in hand.
After a little reminiscence, he got down to business, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, little Lizi, the big train of Western buildings has been completed, just waiting for you to cut the ribbon, you see that the ribbon will be cut tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, I will arrange it." ”
Li Guolou opened the curtains, looked at the white clouds floating in the sky for a while, and sighed lightly: "Nabazi, do you say that it is important to have a rainy day?" It will rain for several days. ”
The money looked at the sky and said with a smile: "Fake foreign devil, you can do it!" I know astronomy, I know geography, and even God has calculated it. ”
"That bazi calls me Lord Xuezheng, don't call me by my name, today Master Fu Xiang gave me the name of General Yum again, obviously laughing at my meager military achievements, I only take it as a tonic. You didn't belittle me outside, did you? ”
"Master Xuezheng, you will see the outside when you speak, I am your dog, call and call and make a voice with you" The money couldn't go on, and his neck was choked by Li Guolou.
"Take care of your stinky mouth for me, don't cause trouble for me, although the Qing Dynasty is full of concessions, and the literati prison can't hit those literati in the concession, I haven't thought of hiding from imperialism and pretending to be patriots." Li Guolou is rarely idle, and talks casually with Nabazi.
"Humph! If I don't pull your tiger skin, who will give me face. The smiling face and the charming eyes will only threaten their subordinates, telling them to go out on errands, none of them dare to speak loudly, none of the eunuchs have a kind, they are frightened by An Dehai, and they hide when they hear about procurement, just want to reap benefits, but they refuse to work. If it weren't for the help of my brothers in the past, I wouldn't have achieved anything. The money peeked at Li Guolou's face, and implicitly revealed a little affection for the rivers and lakes.
Li Guolou smiled and said: "Don't worry, I told Sister Xiaofang yesterday that I would let Wang Wu go up a step and let him become a high-ranking official in the future, brothers are siblings, and women are clothes." ”
"Enough friends! Third brother, how many heroes are waiting for you. On behalf of Wang Wu, I thank you first! "The wealth is handed over, and he looks like a big brother in the rivers and lakes.
Li Guolou ordered: "You go and send a message to Wang Wu, and ask him to eradicate all the secret halls of the Jingshi and Tianjin Brother Wei Elders' Association, and ignore all the advisories of the Criminal Department, and I will be responsible for Weng Tongyi." If Yu Hanbing is not clean, he will destroy me all over the door, and hide in the concession and kill me, and after this level, I will recognize him as a brother. ”
The golden throat turned and immediately said, "Tie! Heroes like to cut grass and eradicate roots, and make a fortune by the way. ”
Li Guolou looked at his hands and said with a cruel smile: "That bazi, don't blame me for being cruel, fighting is cruel." Chop the grass without removing the roots, and the spring breeze blows and grows. I am now carrying the military and political power on my shoulders, so I have to shoulder the responsibility, and in the future, if you have great power, you will be able to transfer the government and businessmen in black and white, and I cannot come forward to organize things, so you will come forward. If Wang Wu dares to play catch and release Cao, don't blame me for being ruthless. ”
The wealth stared at Li Guolou in horror, the war made a person unrecognizable, Li Guolou is no longer the brother who talks about the love of the rivers and lakes, but a murderous demon king, those who follow me prosper and those who disobey me die, in order to achieve the goal by unscrupulous means, and he is just a chess piece in Li Guolou's hand. Na Cai didn't dare to laugh with Li Guolou anymore, and bowed his head and said: "Don't worry, Master Xuezheng, I will tell Wang Wu about the powerful relationship, it is not easy to support a person to take the throne, he will understand how to deal with the rebellion in the rivers and lakes." ”
Li Guolou smiled and said, "Nabazi, you don't have to be afraid of me. I have revenge, and my elder brother will have a grudge against me. Li Ziying killed more than 500 people in the hands of the rebels of the Brotherhood of Elders, if I don't eradicate this anti-Qing sect, is it worthy of the spirit of heaven? If you don't mess with me, you can still let me go. ”
"I know, we're brothers. Without me and Wang Wu, you would still climb up, and without your power, we would be nothing. Even if you want my brother-in-law to die, I won't frown. "That rich belly slanders Li Guolou, the whole is a vicious villain, what kind of big reason do you talk about? The underworld is not to do things for the government, but to admit that he swears to follow his master to the death, and no matter how despicable things are, he must do them for Li Guolou, which does not violate the rules of the rivers and lakes. Jianghu people have their own rules in the rivers and lakes, Wang Wu will not lose his reputation, but his reputation will grow day by day and become a role model for the underworld.
"That bazi, don't have a conscience, the fat man lives a chic life, I haven't rectified him, the seventh grandmother looks at your face, and gives him 80,000 taels of silver tickets, worthy of the conscience of heaven and earth. You asked Huang Fatzi to meddle in the Wanshou Mountain project, and I didn't say anything. What the fat man did in the past was a nightmare, don't mention it again, the bad guys also have a good end. Li Guolou was not ruthless enough, and let go of a family that provided grain and grass to the Eight-Nation Alliance, although Huang Guang was still young at that time, he heard Huang Guang boast about how the Huang family made a fortune. Laugh at enmity and enmity, unite the majority of foreigners and compradors, and contribute to the construction of the motherland together.
The wealth smiled and said, "This kid has a cheap mouth, how can he be like me with a tight mouth." He doesn't know that you are a national hero, and he still boasts of his brotherhood with you at home, so I have a tight mouth. ”
"I am not a national hero, and I have a lot of grievances against the Qing Dynasty. But my thinking is not reactionary enough, and I want to lead the Qing Dynasty to the road of prosperity and strength. If you want to be a Manchu Baturu, I will let you and Gao Yao be pioneers in the next war, and don't come to me if you die. Li Guolou glanced at him.
The money smiled and said, "It's a coincidence! Gao Yaopu and I are both afraid of death, we are screaming fiercely, how can we go into battle to kill the enemy by ourselves. Recovering the commission is the right way, this is the account book I brought, according to your request, the money for the Wanshou Mountain project will not be seen by the seventh master. ”
"Well, the house of the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces, you must not let outsiders know the secret, this is a high state secret, put the account book back in its place, let the smiling face be responsible, and it is the supervisor who makes a mistake." Li Guolou took the account book, roughly looked through it, a year spent more than 2.35 million taels of silver on the Old Summer Palace, this is called an intimate slave, the financial expenditure has increased more than four times, as long as his business makes money, the Old Summer Palace project is more and more invested year by year, and the renovation will also add a covered building, change the way to expand the yard, so that the two queen mothers of the Old Summer Palace can live for a long time. In this way, the Empress Dowager Cixi and the Empress Dowager Ci'an will be more favored by him, and the national monetary policy will be tilted towards inviting the bank.
The carriage had already left the city gate, and Lan Ling, who was guarding the city, didn't even dare to check it, so he only reported his name outside, and let Li Guolou's convoy go out of the city.
The wealth looked at Li Guolou and smirked, Li Guolou's eyes widened, and he said angrily: "Don't laugh, go back and prepare for the ribbon-cutting ceremony of the big train, Hualuo umbrella cover is ready, don't let the two queen mothers get drenched in the rain, the photographer wants women, and you must take a few photos of me driving the train at that time, and you have to explain to the photographer, my figure is definitely not allowed to appear in the photo with the queen mother of the two palaces." ”
"Piercing!" The money squeezed his eyebrows and said: "Lord Xuezheng, let me give you a reminder, now that Sigege is playing in the Old Summer Palace, that little girl is crazy, and she has been saying that she wants to take a few photos with you." Don't be glued to her, you won't be able to wash it by jumping into the Yellow River. ”
"Oh! Prince Qing's daughter Sigege! She is small and ignorant, and I am not afraid of her. Li Guolou was so frightened that the carriage shook, this Manchurian royal family can't be touched, and none of the Qing officials who have the ability are willing to be the master of the horse. The Qing Dynasty is a horse, no status, no little wife, no chance to get ahead, the whole is waste wood in the Qing Dynasty system, stay in the horse house for the rest of your life, and live a quiet life.
Prince Qing is Li Guolou's hatred, insatiable greed, and insatiable desires. Obviously talented and knowledgeable about Western science, he pretends to be a conservative and constantly slanders what the Westernists do. There will always be twists and turns in life, and Prince Qing will seize the handle and lash out at the Westerners for harming the country and the people. If he rebels, the first one will destroy Prince Qing, Prince Qing's daughter is not a good thing, she looks crazy, and her father is a virtue, stupid.
Li Guolou's heart suddenly ached, and a beautiful figure that should not appear appeared came to mind, and Du Yingying's smile made him worry. Looking at the wealth next to him caressing Yu Ruyi, human nature is really greedy. He was satisfied just now, but now he feels lost, it turns out that ambition is accompanied by the secretion of male hormones, he is a young fighter in the group, and those who have achieved fame will be trampled under him. Boss Du will definitely go bankrupt, and his wife will not be far away. The coder, all the business competitors, were defeated by him one by one, and Du Yingying would still return to his arms.
"Don't be greedy. This jade Ruyi is the emperor's reward, and I can't give it to you. Hurry up and ask the sixth lady to give you a jade Ruyi, this thing is said to be worth 10,000 taels, in fact, this kind of high-quality jade material is still easy to find, worth no more than 500 taels, you say that the jade merchant is greedy. "Li Guolou is already an antique expert, is the head of the Qing Dynasty tomb robbery group, through the phenomenon to see the essence, a jade Ruyi is actually worth more than five hundred taels, the emperor used it to become worth ten thousand taels.
"Well, I want you to personally inscribe for me, just write 'Lucky Star Gaozhao' four fly-headed small letters, and carve me on the Ruyi handle, don't fool me." The money shouted loudly, he was not afraid that Li Guolou was playing with moths, fakes were worthless, Li Guolou's family specialized in producing fakes, and he wanted to avoid fake and shoddy products.
"Hey! Asking for words, as soon as I go home, I will wait in the door, which can be described as shameless, going forward and successively, sending away a batch, and coming again, there are many people in the form of letters, and I am no longer enough to call a book. I'm not short of money, and I can't set the price too high, and this business is a loss. ”
The financial nodding in agreement, hehehe, smiled, took out two folds from the official sleeve, and said: "Master Xuezheng, those who can work hard, I have a list here, you can copy it once and complete the task, you can work hard in the first one, and you can do whatever you want in the back." You always have to give me a thin noodle, and I also practice calligraphy, but no one asks for it! I'm in a hurry. ”
"Nabazi, you like to treat me as a pawn, don't go too far." Li Guolou still took the two excerpts, shook his head and smiled bitterly, in a high position, people become vassals and elegant, as long as they have a little relationship with him, they will come to ask for words, and the words of the second grandmother Xie Xiuzhu are also valuable.
When the convoy came to the gate of the Western Building, a group of eunuchs shouted happily: "The Governor is here, open the middle door to greet the Supervisor." ”
"Drums!" Smiling at the gate of the courtyard, personally commanding a group of eunuchs to play and sing, it turned out to be a Western band, wearing a woolen hat, walking in a phalanx of Westerners, and more than 20 eunuchs played the "song of the march" in a decent manner.
"Stop, stop! Smiley, who taught this song? There are few syllables, and tomorrow you are not allowed to play Western music, and you will show off your skills after practicing your skills. Change me a tune, the first chapter of the Zhaoping Chapter, welcome the gods to play the Zhaoping Chapter, and play it for me repeatedly, don't make a mistake. Li Guolou was not in tune when he heard this, and reprimanded a group of eunuchs at the door.
"Zha! The superintendent has a pair of musician ears, and the slave will change it. Pay attention to the boys, welcome the gods to play the Zhaoping chapter and get ready! The smiling face didn't feel ashamed, he prepared several sets of plans, and there was always one suitable for the superintendent.
The baton of the smiling face changed, and the national sacrificial music of the Qing Dynasty sounded, and there would be no mistake in inheriting the thousand-year-old music, and the calluses came out when I heard it.
Li Guolou walked into the Western building in the sound of music, it took him a lot of effort here, the railroad tracks around the building are born for the Western building, the rivets are all copper, the rails are shiny, the sequoia tree sleepers are thick and strong, and the snow-white pebbles are paved on the railway. Before he saw the train, Li Guolou smiled, the Prussian locomotive will lead the Qing Dynasty to the road of industrialization.
