"Guolou, go to the study tomorrow, I'll hand over the fold, state it first, you come to tell the emperor again, if the emperor agrees to do it, the court is very slow to allocate the silver, and the layers of checkpoints will be approved by the household department, and it will take half a year for the money to be in place. Weng Tongyi began to ask Li Guolou to take out the silver from his pocket, and said it pleasantly, that is, let Li Guolou cushion first, and then Liu Bei cried Jingzhou This play, he has heard it hundreds of times, and he will not let it, he is a fool.

"Oh, the students listen to Principal Weng's orders, let's cushion first!"

Where would Li Guolou not understand the careful thinking of the court officials, isn't he just able to make money, as for the silver, he can also come back with interest, this kind of good thing he never thought would happen, there are already 20,000 taels of silver bills in his pocket, all of them are officials who want to deposit money in the bank account, Jingshi's "Please Come to the Bank" has not yet opened, there are already so many friends to cheer up, and when he meets an official in the future, let him deposit the money and invite him into the bank, this is not a bribe, let the emperor and the queen mother of the two palaces know that it is nothing, In the future, he wants the Empress Dowager to transfer her money from a foreign bank to invite her into the bank, so that the profligate Empress Dowager can also contribute to the country.

Li Guolou and Weng Tonggong sat in the study for a day, and did not leave Weng Tonggong's mansion until dusk, Li Guolou sat in the carriage, kept knocking on his back, tired, practicing mouth skills, and used his brains to discuss many matters with Weng Tonggong, and studied what was missing from Weng Tonggong's performance, so as not to let others grasp the handle, tomorrow at half past four to stand outside the Xihua Gate, go back to eat, bathe, and write a fold, this has a wife is equal to no wife, how can there be time to enjoy a happy life, no wonder Li Hongzhang and Zuo Zongtang do not accept concubines, for the country and the people, Writing hard under the oil lamp, Li Guolou had already used his second grandmother Xie Xiuzhu yesterday to make her a gunman and write a document on his behalf, who can write for the emperor tonight.

After thinking about it, Li Guolou was ready to write the fold by himself, or he could only sleep for two or three hours, Li Guolou took out a blanket from the drawer of the carriage, slept with his clothes, and slept directly on the carriage for a while, and the bell under the neck of the hanging horse made a crisp sound, the sound was like a lullaby, bustling on the street, who knew that there was a young man who worked for the country and the people, and had fallen asleep.

Li Guolou returned to the mansion, the door room was still crowded with people, the people in the mansion prepared dinner for them, Li Guolou saw that they were eating sweetly, and couldn't help laughing: "Everyone, it tastes good!" ”

"Well, yes, Master Li is the bureau, thinking that we went back late, he even prepared dinner for us." A fat eunuch looked at Li Guolou with a smile, as if he was also a delicacy.

There are more than a dozen people queuing up outside the door, waiting to enter the door room for dinner, there are some changes in the gift givers today, most of them are from the Old Summer Palace outside the city to the imperial craftsmen and the eunuchs at all levels in the Old Summer Palace, the palace maids, yes, there are a large group of court maids dressed up in flowers, so late in the living room of Li Guolou's mansion, I want to meet the famous and romantic boy brother in the Beijing Division, most of these court maids are twenty or thirty years old, and a few of them are already over forty years old, and they are all maids at the level of the foreman in power in the Old Summer Palace.

Li Guolou stepped into the threshold of the living room, and Wei Xiaoliu spoke: "Distinguished guests, this is Lord Li!" ”

"Ah······h A group of originally dignified and elegant ladies rushed to the door like crazy, rushed to Li Guolou, and the old girls rushed over like wolves and tigers, making Li Guolou stunned, he still wanted to change how to say a few polite words, all of them were holding his women, Li Guolou's face was full of fragrant kisses, and he had no power to resist, is this still a woman, is he in the closed world of the Qing Dynasty.

"Master Li, I worship you, in the future, I will step back and go to your charity hall to do things, the bank is ready, I will settle the accounts." "Master Li, sit down, we're going to take a picture with you." "Master Li, the slave family has saved all the money they have saved in their lives to invite them into the bank!"

Li Guolou looked at Chen Xiangfang beside him, but seeing her nodding approvingly, it seems that these palace maids have done a lot of deposit business today, Li Guolou is taking pictures and signing autographs, busy for a while, and sent a group of people to the crazy palace maids.

Li Guolou did not go back to the inner house, but sat in the living room, took a few account books and looked through them, and looked at the income these days, these incomes are just congratulatory gifts, small bits and pieces, and the really big ones have not come, those who send a congratulatory gift and hand over the worshippers, those people will also give heavy gifts, but he has no time to receive guests now, so he can only wait for a huge bribe later.

Wei Xiaoliu stood next to him and said: "Father-in-law, today the Ministry of Industry is here, your mansion has been assigned, and the Zongren Mansion has also come, you and the two ladies have already raised the flag, and even Lingling has also carried the blue flag, the Ministry of Industry has given five hundred taels of happy money, and the Zongren Mansion has given eight hundred taels of happy money, and the others are that many Manchurian nobles have come during the day, and I don't dare to accept heavy gifts, so I only received two silver ingots per household!" ”

"Hmm······ Very well done, don't accept those heavy gifts, they want to earn lottery, I don't raise grandpa here. "Li Guolou's mind is really good at the Ministry of Works, so he gave him the official house, it's really a friend, the house on Jiadao Street is whitely renovated, who will live in the future.

"Little Liuzi, where is the Ministry of Industry giving me a house?" Li Guolou asked casually.

"Hey, hey, hey, father-in-law, it's Ten Wangfu Street, No. 26." Wei Xiaoliu said complacently that he was still excited, and he would be neighbors with several princes in the future.

Li Guolou changed color and shouted: "Little Liuzi, tomorrow I will go to the Ministry of Industry to return the house, our family does not live in Shiwangfu Street, this is not a place where people and ministers should live." "The heart is blazing, this kid Ronglu is not authentic, and he also makes him stumbling.

"But the other five-rank officials also live there, and it's not just our family." Chen Xiangfang was still dissatisfied, she only went to see the mansion during the day, and she was willing to take a look at it and retreat.

Li Guolou changed color and said: "The name of Shiwangfu Street is too precious, it will cause disaster in the future, our family wants to avoid suspicion, I would rather live in Jiadao Street, in the crack of the door, and I will not come to say bad things about me!" ”

Chen Xiangfang, Xie Xiuzhu, and Zhen Yuhuan stood in the living room muttering, sitting on Li Guolou's chair with oblique eyes, complaining in a low voice, annoyed that Li Guolou was timid and afraid.

"Okay, okay Xiaolou, let's listen to you, tomorrow we will call Xiao Liuzi and return the house, anyway, we don't care for the elderly." Zhen Yuhuan understands things and knows how ambitious Li Guolou is, and he doesn't want to capsize in the gutter, and the name of a street is taboo.

Li Guolou got a satisfactory answer, so he was silent, looked down at the account book, although the grandmothers slept next to him, but he believed that these women would be the same as his subordinates, embezzling a part of the congratulatory gifts, the three ladies must be among the embezzlers, the person who did the tricks is guaranteed to be Zhen Yuhuan, these four grandmothers are united to do things on the account book, if you want to hide from the gods, it is impossible to do things.

Hey······ Sometimes people are too smart and not very good, they see human nature too darkly, don't tell if you know, the big husband is not informal, and the wives and concubines who sleep next to them make them self-righteous, and there will be a chance for them to bleed in the future, Li Guolou closed the account book and said with a smile: "Hmm······ I'm hungry too, let's go in and eat!" ”

Li Guolou stood up and stretched his waist, he could finally eat dinner comfortably after a tiring day.

Chen Xiangfang squinted at Li Guolou, the more she looked at it, the more inauthentic she became, the red lip prints on her face had not been wiped clean, which of her grandmothers would be sent to control Li Guolou in the future, and said angrily: "Xiaolou, your two masters are still waiting for you, I think you should eat with your subordinates!" ”

Cao Kexing and Fan Dahui two fellow villagers officially settled in Li Guolou's house, and the other two fellow villagers Wei Hanyu and Xu Lan went back to visit relatives, and then came to Beijing to ask for life after a while, most of the masters around the Qing Dynasty officials were this kind of fellow villagers, and they raised people in the same year, only one step away from being admitted to the Jinshi, and the status was thousands of miles apart, Zuo Zongtang was the same as Zeng Guofan, Zeng Guofan was admitted to the Jinshi and began his career, first did a few years as a poor Beijing official, and Zuo Zongtang did not meet Huaicai for more than ten years, and could only be a staff member, If it weren't for the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom rebellion, Zuo Zongtang would never have come out.

Li Guolou rolled his eyes at Chen Xiangfang, and only then did he tell him, let the family wait until now, and he didn't care about Chen Xiangfang, and said casually: "Grandma, you go and prepare a meal, don't drink, invite me two guests to the house, I want to write an excerpt at night, it is for the emperor, not a joke!" ”

Li Guolou is a rule-breaker, and it is not the first time that people have come in the inner house, so he doesn't mind inviting the two guests Cao Kexing and Fan Dahui to the inner house for dinner.

Cao Kexing and Fan Dahui were a little restrained in their seats, although they had made countless jokes with Li Guolou, and even drank flower wine together, but when they went to someone's house to have dinner, they couldn't lose their manners if they said anything, and they looked at Li Guolou's family happily, and didn't dare to talk nonsense.

Li Guolou teased his daughter Li Lingling for a while, talked a few words of gossip with the family, turned his head and said: "Dahui, Kexing, don't be restrained, drink a cup of tea first, order at will, my family is very talkative, I have to write an excerpt tonight, so I won't invite you to drink, and I will invite you later." As he spoke, Li Guolou smashed the raw eggs one by one into the big bowl, and beat a total of five raw eggs into it, and then drank it in three breaths.

Seeing that the two fellow villagers were dumbfounded, their stomachs were sour, and Li Guolou, a wealthy and glorious five-grade official, had dinner, which was really different from them, and it could be described as a cow eating grass.

Li Guolou already has the grandeur of the imperial court, and said: "Dahui, Kexing, since you are willing to follow me, I, Li Guolou, will not treat the two of you badly, first help you to be promoted to the last stream, and slowly rise up, the ninth rank deputy, the ninth rank of the main position, the eighth rank of the deputy position, the eighth grade of the main position, five years later, you will be promoted to a seven-grade official, and you will be allowed to do a seven-year fat shortage in the local area, which will not be much worse than Jinshi Zhu Dinghe!" ”

"Thank you Lord Li for your appreciation, I am very wise, even if I have my liver and brains, I will not give up!"

"Since Xiaolou is so righteous, I, Cao Kexing, have sold this life to you, come, I'll toast you first!"

Having said this, Cao Kexing and Fan Dahui were grateful, picked up the teacup to replace the wine with tea, and expressed their heartfelt expression to Li Guolou, never thought that they accidentally climbed the high branches, they thought that they would be a staff member behind a seven-grade official, but now Li Guolou has become a five-grade official in one step, and there are so many real shortages in his hands, which makes many Jinshi stunned, envy the two of them to strike first, and the first batch to follow Li Guolou to pick the fruits of victory.

Li Guolou said: "Actually, it's nothing to tell you, I'm an official not because I have arrested many criminals, so that the chief can appreciate, but because I will make money, Baozhifang from scratch, driving a street business, Zhenbaoxuan belongs to the top brand, the palace, the prince's mansion procurement, only recognize my brand, now I have played a big, the Qing Empire everyone has been encircled, and Prince Gong also asked me to do the affairs of studying abroad, don't underestimate my house, now there are millions of taels of silver here, and there is a mountain next door, I don't even know where to put it! ”

Cao Kexing and Fan Dahui couldn't help but look at the locked door next to them, in the past few days, they have followed Chen Xiangfang to collect cash, and they have already collected money and received soft hands, in the past, they thought that Li Guolou would brag and not do his job, but now Li Guolou is even saying, "Fart is fragrant." They also firmly believe that anyway, the lord Li Guolou said that he could achieve his goal, and he would carry it out without hesitation, regardless of whether he would break his head and bleed and kill to become a Buddha.

Li Guolou rinsed his mouth with Mao Feng tea, and said: "The only thing we ask you now is to keep it secret, before we succeed, even if we don't have it, we can't say it, when we become bigger and stronger, everything we do today is a legend, and when we succeed, the Qing Kingdom will see us open up the world, and those ugly people in power will also come to lick our toes!" ”

"Zha, the villain is willing to die for the adult." Cao Kexing and Fan Dahui flicked their sleeves, as if they had flipped their horseshoe sleeves, turned over and bowed down in front of Li Guolou, and their movements were proficient, and at first glance, they had practiced countless times.

"Hmmm······" Li Guolou nodded slightly, his strength has become extremely strong, he has been degenerated, he will no longer need to work hard in the future, everything must be done, as long as he says a word, there are countless people who are willing to die for him,
