Ding Richang saw it clearly from the side, and said suspiciously: "Brother Xue, the silver system is beneficial to the country and the people, how can it be so unbearable in your mouth." ”

Xue Fucheng drank tea calmly, and said slowly: "Ding Xiaogui, I didn't say that it was not a good thing, but it hurt Xiaolou's family business too much, he just wanted to make money, there was only one word for money in his brain, he didn't think of a harmonious society, and everyone needed to make money together, 'flower' and 'flower' sedan chair were carried by everyone, without our help, please come in to the bank for a long time, Xie Liya Real Estate Company will also decline, Xiaolou, you have a business vision, with a forward-looking ' Sex', let the family business lead the Westernization movement, these achievements are actually our Western-style faction behind the "selfless" support, you want everyone to see the return, the second generation of officials to your business, hold important positions, such people can bring millions of profits to your business, you give Ding grandson 120,000 annual income is still cost-effective, you pay Ding grandson 100,000 annual salary, he can bring you millions of returns, in the future even tens of millions of returns, in the future the entire Fujian, Guangdong will become your sphere of influence, The 'transaction' between power and money began when you recruited Ding Sunzi, a genius of the world, and when you opened banks in various places to invite in, you started with the second generation of solicitors. ”

Li Guolou pursed his lips and replied: "Lord Xue, is this necessary, I am the Imperial History of the Right Capital." ”

"Yes, absolutely, there is a big difference between the central and local governments, you have to have a good relationship with the governors of various places, and collect many officials from the second generation into your business empire, there is no harm in all benefits, after the money buys the bones, the currency reform measures implemented by the officialdom against you will be applauded, and the Li company will take advantage of the spark to burn all over China, and the day when you want to support the backbone of the Qing Dynasty is just around the corner, Xiaolou, you must know that my son is a good hand at public relations." Ding Richang rose from the ground, showing his teeth and claws, depicting a blueprint for Li Guolou for the future, thinking that the loser could go to Li Guolou and hold a golden rice bowl, and there would be an income of millions of taels to ensure income in drought and flood, and the family business would not be defeated by his son, how could he not let him applaud,

Li Guolou smiled bitterly: "Everyone, don't look at me like this, my hand doesn't want to stretch so long, I don't have so many positions by then, how can I raise the second generation of officials, I will collect a bone, how many wolves will break my family's 'door' threshold, you don't know how greedy Prince Qing is, coveting my family's industry, every project must be invested in silver shares, don't want me to be filial, he said that he won't be a corrupt official, do you believe it." ”

Prince Qing's name is not something that should be evaluated, Shen Baozhen looked at him and sighed: "Xiaolou, this is yours, how can a banking industry make the world's scholars return to their hearts, business is to reserve talent resources for you, you have to open up financial resources, in addition to a big train plan to pass through the world, the shipping industry should be transferred from the government to the private, you must seize the opportunity to transform state-owned assets into private capital." ”

Li Guolou glanced at Li Hongzhang and said, "Lord Shen, someone in the shipping industry is 'meddling', and it is not appropriate for me to get a piece of the pie." ”

Shen Baozhen also glanced at Li Hongzhang and replied: "But others have limitations, only you can pass unhindered in the world, in order to make the shipping industry bigger and stronger, it is time to reintegrate, we should have ocean-going navigation capabilities, and the shipping industry should develop to the deep sea, this grand plan is only planned by you." ”

Li Hongzhang hesitated, stroked three strands of beard, and said: "This issue, in the long run, will be discussed in the 'Spring' Festival. ”

Li Guolou was annoyed: "I never wanted to lead the second generation of officials to take the road of common prosperity, I really want to 'hand' over the wealth created to the treasury, and your plan is to dig up the corners of the Qing Dynasty." ”

"Hey, Xiaolou, you are mistaken, this is called sustainable development, it is up to you to come forward, our Westernists are fully supported behind the scenes, conservatives and Qing schools echo each other, our country can move forward steadily, and there will be no mutual demolition, you are the glue of our factions, you let Master Fu Xiang be the leader of business, it is not suitable, only by hanging your name, this ship will not be smashed under someone 'hole'." Xue Fucheng is not untargeted, but discussed with Li Hongzhang why Li Guolou will ascend to the sky in one step, this is a kind of personality charm, Li Guolou can unite all factions in the court, so that the silver originally hidden in the cellar, the ground thundered, all 'exposed' in broad daylight, commercial development is economic circulation, Li Guolou put the idle money of corrupt officials, even the body of the queen mother's own silver, and the 'private' house money of 20,000 eunuchs, all used in business,

Li Hongzhang said: "The second generation of officials needs someone to take care of it, especially those who can't step into the officialdom of the second generation and the third generation of officials, this group of people should still show their strength in private enterprises, give full play to their well-connected characteristics, Xiaolou, your enterprise recruits talents, start with this group of people, so that my implementation of the currency reform can be carried out smoothly in various places, to create more tax revenue for the country, of course, you also have to do it in moderation, don't be like your banking industry in the first year, to leave some leeway for the country, the first year at most increase by one percent." ”

Li Hongzhang knew very well that as long as the Qing Dynasty implemented the silver dollar system, the household department could increase the tax collection by more than 5 million taels from inviting the bank in, which was still the most conservative estimate, and it was even possible to exceed 10 million taels of silver，

Li Guolou listened to it like a fight, and let him solve the messy and messy things, the famous 'flower' and 'play' boy in the Qing Dynasty actually wanted to enter his business empire, and he had to leave a decent seat for Ding Huiheng, squeezed out a smile and said: "Master Fu, we talked all night, I was already dizzy from listening, I really couldn't bear it, let's talk at dinner, my four ladies, none of them are easy to mess with, I still have to do their ideological work." ”

Li Hongzhang was angry and waved his hand: "Go, we are going to sleep too, invite your four wives to the banquet together in the evening, and I will award them with certificates and medals when they return to Beijing." ”

"Xiaolou, I'll go to your place at noon to drink and talk about my insurance business plan, so don't sleep." Xue Fucheng expected that Li Guolou would not sleep, the four ladies were all powerful figures, Li Guolou and the four ladies should keep pace, and they would have a small meeting in the morning.

Li Guolou Tuanyi, leaving Li Hongzhang's residence, turned out of a courtyard, which is his residence, here he is a distinguished guest, enjoy the highest standard of treatment, but he is not interested in looking at the quaint pavilions and pavilions, the military can let go, but the substantial expansion of the bank is imminent, this time he wants to let the second generation of officials take this downwind boat, all over the opening of the bank please come to the bank, twenty banks hire a regional manager, just solve the problem of the second generation of officials around the country, 1,500 please come to the bank, It is possible to recruit seventy-five second-generation officials, five regional managers and a regional manager, it seems that it is still too little, and it will offend many local forces.

The Qing Dynasty will implement the silver dollar system, but Li Guolou has no sense of accomplishment, but is under pressure, his business empire not only has to raise thousands of lazy people, waste wood, but also a group of second generations of officials, these bad things are not what he originally thought, but also to lead the second generation of officials to get rich together, think about it, Ding Huiheng and Bao Quanzhong sang and harmonized, and said how many bad things about him behind his back, he actually wanted to lead the wolf into the room,

In the dining room, Ding Richang was in a good mood, his appetite was full, and he drank another bowl of porridge, he was not afraid of Li Guolou's refusal, and said with a smile: "Xue Dazui, you are really talented, you will eat fake foreign devils so soon, I still have one thing to worry about, my son's temper is very impulsive, Liu Yong, who thinks he is eight buckets high, refuses to bend his waist for five buckets of rice, you go and help me persuade him, how can people not bow their heads under the eaves." ”

Xue Fucheng said with a smile: "Don't worry, little ghost Ding, I will go out of the horse, and the horse will be successful, and Grandson Ding is also tight, and he has not yet reached the share of Dese." ”

"That's good, I'm blind to death now." Ding Richang glared at Li Hongzhang, brushed his sleeves and left the dining room,

Shen Baozhen refused to leave the dining room, just to let Li Hongzhang allocate a large amount of money to him, the Nanyang Navy Division does not have a subordinate relationship with the Beiyang Navy Division in the system, but he is a member of Li Hongzhang's family, listening to Li Hongzhang's words, the Fujian Shipbuilding Bureau is a mess left by Zuo Zongtang, and now it has a 'color' in Shen Baozhen's hands, relying on Li Hongzhang's full support,

To engage in the Westernization movement is to burn money to do things, and the new things are all piled up with silver, and the gold and jade are all ruined projects, which are in the ascendant, and the projects that have been messed up in the hands of the Westernists are innumerable, and now the Westernization movement has a kind of willingness to cut a whole body, and dare to pull the emperor Lao Tzu off the horse.

In order to properly handle the Taiwan issue, Li Hongzhang promised to allocate 500,000 taels of silver to Shen Baozhen first, but first asked the bank to borrow it, and he was now short of money.

Shen Baozhen was worried and asked: "Master Fu Xiang, you are calling Li Guolou like this, you are not afraid of inviting in the bank to run on the 'tide', I have heard many rumors that are unfavorable to Li Guolou now, I am afraid that someone will deal with him." ”

Li Hongzhang is as steady as Mount Tai, drank tea firmly, and said with a smile: "Lord Shen, don't pay attention to the rumors from the outside world, if Li Guolou falls behind, there will be no introduction of the currency reform system, and now the pilot has not been launched, some people deliberately spread rumors to slander the members of the court, you also heard Li Guolou say, Prince Qing wants to be a clean official, and he will not even accept the gifts given by Li Guolou, who will think about dealing with Li Guolou at this time, the emperor is still favored to him, and the queen mother of the two palaces also strongly supports the currency reform, who will kill The stupid thing of chickens taking eggs, most of these unfavorable rumors are foreigners and those compradors who are making waves, you don't believe those rumors in the south, I will not let the ship capsize. ”

"That's good, Li Guolou doesn't want to be like Xue Dazui's paper-paste flood control project, I'll rest assured, I'll go to Yelia to ask for a note, and I'll rush back to Fujian in the afternoon, and the teachers and students of the Mawei Shipbuilding School will let Master Ding arrange to pick it up

Originally, I wanted to personally introduce Yan Fu to Li Guolou, they are all British students studying abroad, and they are all pillars of the country. Shen Baozhen thought of Taiwan's defense, did not dare to stay in Yantai, and left the pavilion with Li Hongzhang's edict.

Li Hongzhang turned back to the backyard to sleep, thinking about the teachers and students of the Mawei Ship Master School, Yan Fu is the chief student of the Mawei Ship Master School, and he is a great talent who has returned from studying in the UK, but there are several pillars of the country, Li Hongzhang did not put Yan Fu, a scholar who reads according to the English book, in his eyes, and gave him a grandson with a long face, only Li Guolou is the only one in the world, Li Hongzhang instead took a fancy to the group of young students in the Mawei Ship Master School, those students who are strong in blood, deeply impressed, Deng Shichang, Liu Buchan, Lin Yongsheng's vigorous image of these three people has been kept in mind, he and Shen Baozhen did a 'transaction', and drove the two battleships to Mawei Port, just to dig up the students of the Mawei Ship Master School to the Beiyang Naval Division, as for Yan Fu, the chief scholar, let Shen Baozhen keep it.

Li Guolou and the four ladies had a small meeting in the morning, and finally unified their understanding, and decided to recruit the second generation of officials in the Li Group, bundle the local forces and centralized power together, and take the road of common prosperity, the five of them flirted in the living room, waiting for Xue Fucheng's arrival, recruiting talents is Li Guolou's first goal, he values Xue Fucheng very much, this person has put forward fruitful suggestions for the construction of his business empire, and the second generation of good officials can make the Li Group prosperous.

Li Guolou had already taken a bath, changed into a casual navy blue silk gown, his hair was not braided, and he was sitting on the Taishi chair, Mayuko was standing behind Li Guolou, massaging his head, and the other three ladies were sitting on the Taishi chair on the right,

Li Guolou closed his eyes and said: "Seventh Madam, you have to do a good job of unity, don't fight in the nest, since you want to go out of the 'door' to do things, it is impossible for everyone to be fair, don't envy the shares of the third lady, let outsiders see jokes." ”

Mayuko was a staunch supporter of Yelia and was the first to respond: "Hi Xiaolou, don't worry, I won't say anything." ”

Zhen 'Yu' Huanjiao said: "Oh, knowing Xiaolou, I was also joking, I didn't expect someone to betray me, you won't dislike me." ”

Li Guolou opened his eyes and said with a smile: "Dearest Seventh Lady, I listen to you the most, I also let you participate in such a major foreign 'intercourse' occasion, and I will leave Prince Gong's admonition behind me, and I don't know how to 'hand' my voice when I return to Beijing." ”

Zhen's 'jade' ring can let Yelia and Xie Liya be outside, as soon as the wind blows on the pillow, he asked Li Guolou to take her out of Beijing to see the world, and bring Mayuko, just to make outsiders think that their family is very united, in fact, the 'women' are together, just fighting every day for some little things of "chicken" and "hair", Li Guolou has to quarrel and administer justice for them when he goes home, he is physically and mentally exhausted, and the ladies are addicted to fighting, as if in his home, it is a compromise to live a hard life,

"Well, I remember Xiaolou well." Zhen 'Yu' twisted his hips and turned his waist, and Lianlian walked to Li Guolou's side, knelt on the soft cushion, and knocked his 'legs' for Li Guolou, men have to rely on coaxing, there is only one man in this family, and more than a dozen ladies revolve around a man,

Li Guolou was comfortable, and said calmly: "Well, I love the four ladies, I don't mess with 'flowers' outside, as for the rumors in the eight major alleys now, they are all made up by those who are laughing for the sake of fame, don't believe it, and the third lady, those 'female' teachers of the new fashion school, you have to take care of them, don't allow them to stuff sticks, and I will visit in the future, and I am not even allowed to ask questions." ”

Yelia served hot tea to Li Guolou, and said with a smile: "Xiaolou, I can't do anything about it, those 'female' teachers are foreigners hired by me with high salaries, and they are all advocates of the 'female' and 'sexual' independence movement, they want to get rich with you, this is the motivation for them to stay in the Qing Dynasty, you have to understand." ”

"I don't understand, now when I go out, I feel like a joker, others are beating me up for my ghost idea, my ideal is to be a national hero, and I will never be a thief of 'flowers'." Li Guolou is very angry, the 'woman' uses 'color' and power to 'tempt' and 'confuse' him, so that he has been repeatedly recruited, and now he wants to serve the country and the people, but the reality is that there are more and more 'temptations' and 'confusion', and the eight-nation coalition forces that have gone forward and succeeded each other want to try the depth of his pool of water, of course, it will always happen when he can't hold it, he won't say this, when he went to visit Yessenia, he directly dealt with this gypsy 'woman', and when Yessenia's mourning period passed, he promised to marry Yesenia into the family' 'door', thinking of ' Yesenia, Li Guolou 'revealed' a 'lewd' expression, a man's success must have a group of 'women' behind him, this is a symbol of success, and he is an outstanding representative of successful people,
