Watching Li Guolou leave, the Empress Dowager Cixi was a little lost, she was not reluctant to Li Guolou, but thought of being a woman, Li Guolou let the wives and concubines at home show up to do business, even the charity hall and real estate use women's names, and she even has to block a curtain when she sees a man, the status of women in the Qing Dynasty is too low, from Li Guolou's mouth, I hear a lot of "foreign for Chinese use", "Hufu riding and shooting is also a kind of progress", "all things return to the source or to govern the country with the doctrine of sages", this is where Cixi listens comfortably, it is better to use people or slaves, Let Li Guolou raise the flag, this move is the right move.

"Sister, Li Guolou is good, raising this kind of slave can bring us extra income, if the business is good, please come to the bank, we should invest in the shares, and the foreign is for Chinese use." The Empress Dowager Cixi became a pioneer in the restructuring, and no one ever suggested to her that she should come up with it herself.

The Empress Dowager Ci'an was stunned, and suddenly said: "Sister, what did the emperor say!" ”

"Hey, creating a historical precedent, this road is not easy to walk, we don't help the emperor, who will help the emperor, this kind of criticism is still let us bear it." The Empress Dowager Cixi dressed herself as a pioneer in restructuring and evolved into a leader of the Westernization faction.

Empress Dowager Ci'an's melon seed face showed her teeth, and she said with a smile: "Well, sister, depending on your means, after the dividends next year, you will be invited into the bank and in your pocket, and the 3% rule will be done, and in the future, other businesses will also let Li Guolou come forward, and we will not be scribbled by the imperial history, or a slave to do things well, without scruples, and you can speak straightforwardly." She was no more stupid than the Empress Dowager Cixi, and when she heard the implication, she wanted to turn the invited bank into a joint venture bank covering the whole country, and the flow of state-owned funds in 18 provinces of the Qing Dynasty would be handed over to the invited bank for handling.

"Hmmm······" Empress Dowager Cixi began to calculate her son Zaichun, and the banking industry will be included in the category of the two palace empress dowagers, and when she and the Empress Dowager Ci'an die, they will be assigned to the internal affairs office and handed over to her son, if this small treasury is in her pocket, she will be honest and honest like the Queen Mother of the Water in the future, and she will not do the matter of selling the official beard, and the officials in the court will appoint and hand it over to her son Zaichun, and everyone will not suffer from each other, this time she wants the emperor to proclaim to the world, and the holy decree will state that the emperor is a filial son, leading by example, daring to be the first in the world, and being a pioneer of reform.

Li Guolou came to the Old Summer Palace that can not go back to Beijing, stay here at night, he took five guard officers, rode a horse and whipped straight to the house of Nabazi, the place where Bazi lived, it was originally a temple with a thousand acres, the temple of 100 Guandi Temple, when the Old Summer Palace was rebuilt, the original temple property of Guandi Temple was collected, but the main temple is still, Li Guolou entered the temple first to Emperor Guan on three incense, the Qing Dynasty many temples are Guandi Temple, more than Buddhist temples, more than 300,000 temples in the country, Guandi Temple belongs to the national image project, the local are very willing to spend money to build, This is called consistency with national policy.

Bypassing the main hall, it is a connected house, which belongs to the high-end villa area, there are about 100 households, Li Guolou's subordinate guards have their own Zhang Di, Na Le, and Na Yuan's subordinates Zhang Di, Na Le, and a group of people of the same level are entertained, and a barbecue is set up in the yard, a whole sheep has been roasted, and on the iron rack next to it, there is also roast beef, and there is green smoke, and the smell of pepper makes Li Guolou sneeze, and hurriedly took out a handkerchief, covered his mouth, and fled into the south room, shouting: "Miss Gao Yao, make the formation smaller, I can't bear it!" ”

There is always nothing good for the Mongols to show off here, so they give him a whole sheep to eat, and treat him as an honored guest, but they can't let him smell the smell of fish.

Dressed as a squire, dressed in a bluestone-colored silk short coat, the pants are soap pants, the trouser legs are learning to catch the appearance, wearing a tie, and when he saw Li Guolou, he said: "Why did you come, I thought you were going to live in Wanchun Garden!" ”

Li Guolou hissed: "That bazi takes care of your stinky mouth, if you weren't still a little useful, I would have killed people a long time ago!" ”

"Hey, hey." That bazi was a little embarrassed, although Li Guolou treated him like a brother, but he couldn't ride Li Guolou's head up, not to mention that the wall had ears, and if the joke was too much, it would become a disaster.

Li Guolou took a copper basin, went to the well to wash his hair, scooped water with a scoop, washed his face and hands in the copper basin, ran around for a day, his body was full of dust, and he would feel comfortable after washing and eating dinner.

When Li Guolou returned to the south room again, Na Bazi couldn't believe it and asked, "Little Lizi, don't you have to serve you with your own soldiers!" ”

Li Guolou stood in front of the dressing table and wiped his glycerin, and said: "This is a woman doing things, and my wife is not around, is it at home······ Hey. Li Guolou blinked a pair of weird eyes at that bastard, this kind of thing, men understand.

Na Bazi understood and asked, "Little Lizi, then let me ask you, how good is your wife, or is she a good one!" ”

Li Guolou said loudly: "That bazi, this still has to ask, of course it is a good, serve a good wife, eternal peace, like me now, how many times a day do you have to ask if you are in good health, why can't you eat, and tell lies, more beautiful than when I first saw you, is this possible, I can't wait for them to roll up the cover and get out, but they refuse to leave now, saying that they will betray me when I am old, there is no way I can only provide them with opportunities, let them go out to do business, when the red apricot is out of the wall, directly cut off!" ”

"Poof", hiding outside the door and eavesdropping on Gao Yaowuyun, he couldn't help but snicker, and said hurriedly: "Head, it's time for dinner!" ”

Li Guolou blinked proudly, probing his brain, someone was eavesdropping outside, he already knew who it was.

Outdoor picnic, eat barbecue, drink fine wine, Li Guolou behaved quite personable, not close to people, he is now in a noble position, has the right to speak on an equal footing with a first-class member, every time he goes to the early dynasty, the emperor has to ask him to speak, has surpassed the status of the four-rank official, the Qing Dynasty is an official to look at the door, the official eunuch family is born, so that there is a large group of supporters behind him, the important thing is that he is a scientific scout Hualang, even if he is promoted to a first-class officer, those princes and ministers will not complain, the Qing Dynasty has an iron law and the same as the Ming Dynasty, that is, civil officials are higher than military attachés, The command of the army is in the hands of civilian officials, such as Zeng Guofan, Zuo Zongtang, and Li Hongzhang were all born as jinshi or lower-level people, and it is a matter of course for Li Guolou to control military power in the future.

The ambitious Li Guolou, restraint is endless**, rejected the temptation of several national and heavenly women, maintained the demeanor of a righteous man and a gentleman, and did not let the old antiques in the court use "private morality and debt" to slander him.

Li Guolou, as usual, was the first to finish eating in half an hour, leaving the noisy courtyard, walking into the south room to read and learn words, cultivating sentiments, being in a high position and being prepared for danger in times of peace, if you don't advance, you will retreat, just like his uncle Li Hongzhang, who is a very smart person, he just sorted out the martial arts hall, absorbed the essence of the foreign military academy, and thought that it was seamless, even the emperor and Principal Weng did not see through his tricks, but Li Hongzhang walked in three steps, primary school, middle school, and then entered the martial arts, dismembered to pieces, and anyone would make it. There are all smart and top jinshi around him, and if you want to sit firmly in your seat and rise high, you must continue to improve.

Li Guolou's advantage is to go out one step ahead of others, learn and imitate some models worth learning from Western countries, use flexible and changeable roundabout tactics, and achieve the ultimate goal, of course, the main thing is that he saw a way to make money, and used the combination of government and business, grasped the historical opportunity, and successfully founded the first real joint-stock bank in the Qing Dynasty, but people will imitate, as long as he succeeds in taking a step, others will take the second step, the third step, and even run up, and there will be more and more competitors in business. There are also opponents in his career who make him stumbling, so he must not be left behind and take on more social responsibilities.

In order to keep up with the historical trend, Li Guolou began to learn German, German and Russian are very similar, it is a matriarchal language, with a very nasal sound and tongue rolling, Li Guolou read the alphabet in a strange tone, German has 264 letters, 42 phonemes, vowel phonemes and consonant phonemes, these are not difficult for him, catchy reading, simple words are written one by one on rice paper.

An hour later, the bazi pushed the door in, and said with a smile: "Little Lizi, I'm a fake foreign devil again, I don't know what you want, you have status, beauty, and money, why are you still living so tired, you only drink three glasses of wine, fake serious!" ”

Li Guolou put down the brush and said with a smile: "Yes, I am a hypocrisy, but it is also called binding, indulgence can be done once or twice, and if you are used to it, you will be willing to fall, that bazi, when you don't enjoy it, the people are dressed in tatters, and even the basic living conditions are not there, so that most people's living standards can be improved, it is the first goal I pursue, and after I complete this goal, I will drink wine!" ”

Na Bazi glanced at it and said: "Yes, you said, let me be an industrialist, but why do you let me be an overseer in the Old Summer Palace, the things on the books are already seamless, and I am wasting my time here!" ”

Li Guolou said in a low voice: "Silly melon, the two queen mothers of the Old Summer Palace don't want to be watched, you are in charge here, the news in the garden, I will know for the first time, the current officials in the court are all promoted by the two queen mothers, and a few will be intimate with the emperor, you will secretly collect information for me, as soon as there is a disturbance, you will notify me, make friends with the eunuchs if you have nothing to do, and take care of your big mouth!" ”

"Oh." Na Bazi nodded slightly, he knew that Li Guolou was ambitious, and he gave him a fat shortage, and it turned out that he was secretly killing him.

"Learn real estate management well, this industry is stronger than anything else, construction 3% net profit, real estate sales is a piece of fat, Tianjin concession development, just to see the prototype, there is a lot to be done in the future, when you build the intelligence network here, go to Tianjin, I was put by Li Hongzhang, he threw a piece of fat to me, thinking that I was a greedy businessman, grandma, fart inherited his mantle, he will leave the power to me, I really want to take the rocket of the god machine battalion to the sky!"

Li Guolou became more and more dissatisfied with Li Hongzhang, this is to restrain his opponent, regard him as the god of wealth, make money, Li Hongzhang promoted him, the military affairs department did not let him interfere, he also wanted to build a large quilt factory, used to make military uniforms, military hats, and control the army's logistics support in the future, originally his plan had been passed, but Li Hongzhang came up with a big and perfect plan the next day, and put him again, and now he was turned into a shoe factory, from head to toe, he only got a pair of shoes.

Shoes can also make a big difference, Li Guolou will never be overwhelmed by difficulties, this time his shoe factory plans not to report to Li Hongzhang, he wants to set up a large rubber factory, so that all Qing soldiers wear high-quality military shoes.

"Hmph, you also said that my mouth stinks, how many bad things did you say about Li Hongzhang, be careful that the wall has ears." Naba shook his head, a family member is still playing behind his back.

Li Guolou didn't tell Na Bazi what he really thought, between him and Li Hongzhang, they always have to part ways, the sooner they turn against each other, the better, unless a person withdraws from the court, otherwise he and Li Hongzhang will be two Westerners, and the goals seem to be the same, but the two people have different words and deeds, they don't like each other, and they belittle each other for their own development, so that the emperor will be relieved to use him boldly, and those Manchu nobles will believe that he has become a Manchurian,
