Zeng Jize looked at Xuan Yuemeng suspiciously, of course he wouldn't believe Xuan Yuemeng's words, you are a translator? But there's just so much you do!

Although Zeng Jize doesn't know what Xuan Yuemeng has done in Beijing, there will still be rumors about such a big thing as contracting Liangguang tribute, and the Liangguang tribute has exceeded one million taels of silver this year, and it has spread all over Zhili, and even spread throughout the entire Qing Dynasty, everyone said that Ruilin was finally promoted to the head of the cabinet, thanks to the tribute of this million taels of silver!

Zeng Jize knew that Xuan Yuemeng went to Jingshi, and did not take Timothy Li with him, a child has a million taels in his hands, can this be what an ordinary translator does? Ghost only believes, if it weren't for Xuan Yuemeng, who was less than a year old, Zeng Jize would have to say this a long time ago, it was Xuan Yuemeng's age that hid Xuan Yuemeng himself too well, which made Zeng Jize so far, only stay in the stage of doubt.

Xuanzong Lu didn't live far, today there was a gun in the city, he didn't worry, he had been watching at the door, waiting for Xuan Yuemeng to come back, and when he saw Xuan Yuemeng's carriage, he also came over, where did Xuan Zonglu think, Xuan Yuemeng had just returned to Tianjin for a day, and he had made so many things?

Xuan Zonglu came over and touched Xuan Yuemeng's back, "Yuemeng is back?" Why are you standing outside at night? Let's go back, if you have something, it's not too late to talk about it tomorrow. ”

Xuan Hongtao and Xuan Huang didn't expect that the old man would come over to care about Xuan Yuemeng, and seeing Xuan Yuemeng's attitude towards his grandfather, they also eased a lot, they knew that Xuan Yuemeng and Xuan Zonglu went to Jingshi, but they didn't expect that the grandfather and grandson would go to Jingshi for a trip, and they would get better?

When Xuan Yuemeng and Xuan Zonglu went to Beijing together, Xuan Hongtao and Xuan Huang were surprised, and now they saw that the attitudes of the two people had changed, and they were even more surprised.

Xuan Yuemeng sells a cute to Xuan Zonglu. "Xuan Hongtao murdered me just now."

Xuan Hongtao is not embarrassed, little ancestor, where do I dare to murder you? "Doesn't that concern you?"

Xuan Zonglu glared at Xuan Hongtao, snorted, and didn't say anything.

Xuan Huang glared at Xuan Hongtao, "What are you doing to Yue Meng's beard and glare?" The hour is getting late. Yuemeng is going to sleep too, okay, okay, Kaori, you take Yuemeng to sleep. ”

Of course, Xuan Hongtao didn't dare to squeak again.

Xuan Yuemeng glanced at Zhao Qingluo, Zhao Qingluo was also looking at him, others just suspected that Zhao Qingluo had seen Xuan Yuemeng's majesty in the concession, and Zhao Qingluo was actually a very smart woman. Her suspicion of Xuan Yuemeng will only be more than Zeng Jize! The more I doubt, the more I believe that Xuan Yuemeng is the boss of the American Concession, and today's incident is very likely to be planned by Xuan Yuemeng!

Zhao Qingluo really wanted to talk to Xuan Yuemeng alone, but there were so many people, it was not very convenient, "Yuemeng." Didn't you want to sleep with your sister-in-law? ”

Xuan Yuemeng swallowed her saliva, thinking about it. You're saying that in front of so many people, isn't it?

Xu Xiangzhi took over Xuan Yuemeng from Xuan Huang's hands, "It's too late, Yuemeng is going to sleep." I won't go. ”

Xuan Yuemeng sweats profusely, why do you help me get an idea? He was thinking of saying yes.

Zhao Qingluo's face turned red, and she didn't insist anymore. However, Xuan Yuemeng knew that Zhao Qingluo must have wanted to ask herself about shooting foreigners today, it's better not to go, let's talk about it after a while, there have been a lot of things recently, and he definitely won't tell Zhao Qingluo about this. Xuan Yuemeng is principled in doing things, and he won't tell any irrelevant people.

The next day, the sales team of Klinsmann Foreign Company continued to come out to sell, which was of course instructed by Xuan Yuemeng, and Xuan Yuemeng himself really stayed in Zeng's Mansion and did not come out, so that the people below could pass on the word.

Klinsmann continued to sell smoking cessation pills, but the British and French forces did not come out to stop it, which was much unexpected for Xuan Yuemeng, and he also gave instructions to let the Yongding Gang always protect the sales team.

Xuan Yuemeng didn't expect that the British and French foreigners would be so soft and acquiesce to the sale of smoking cessation pills by Klinsmann & Co.?

In fact, the sale of smoking cessation pills in the short term, will not have any impact on the big smoke, the sale of smoking cessation pills is like an itch in the boots, it must not be compared with the sale of tobacco in Humen, however, Xuan Yuemeng believes that as long as it has been persisted in this way and promoted, it will definitely be able to stifle the big smoke, and it can also show the whole society an attitude that big smoking can be quit! And at the same time, it can promote the dangers of big smoke.

Xuan Yuemeng believes that vigorously selling smoking cessation pills will definitely have positive significance, which is also a reason why he wants to do this regardless of the cost.

Now compared with the lack of building materials, he has put aside the matter of building materials for the time being, and he hopes that through this matter, the branch of Klinsmann Foreign Company will be opened all over the open port terminals, so that all ports can sell smoking cessation pills, which can arouse the patriotic enthusiasm of the people, and everyone will resist the big smoke together! Use the power of the people to compete with foreigners!

Tianjin City was so beaten, Li Hongzhang was also shaken!

Of course, Li Hongzhang knew that it was the ghost of Klinsmann & Co., and when he thought of Klinsmann & Co., he naturally thought of Xuan Yuemeng!

Didn't expect a child who was less than a year old to be so ruthless? Actually said to do it?

Li Hongzhang doesn't know what Xuan Yuemeng is going to do? Is this to develop the army?

Li Hongzhang began to treat Xuan Yuemeng very seriously for the first time, and Li Hongzhang had no way to treat Xuan Yuemeng as a child anymore.

Li Hongzhang even sent an agent to spy on Xuan Yuemeng!

Sheng Xuanhuai nodded, "Zhongtang should have done this a long time ago, I have always said that this child is not simple, it is like a disaster, since I have this child, everything has happened." ”

Li Hongzhang sighed, "It's not a bad thing, it's just that I'm really not worried about this child, how old is this child?" You say, isn't this a strange creation? How could there be such a child? ”

Sheng Xuanhuai said with a smile: "No matter how strange he is, he can't escape from the palm of Lord Zhongtang, his subordinates send more people to secretly watch this group of people, and Lord Zhongtang can be worry-free." ”

However, Li Hongzhang also monitored in vain, and Xuan Yuemeng's affairs were all done by his subordinates, and Xuan Yuemeng's subordinates, although they are not at the level of formal spies now, there are many and complicated things in the American Concession. People come and go, and it is definitely not possible to monitor the backbone of the Huacui Society, and it is even difficult to find out which talents are the backbone of the Huacui Society.

In the end, the British consul Wei Tuma and the French consul Luo Shuya did not contact Klinsmann in the end, but put pressure on Li Hongzhang to let the Beiyang Yamen arrest the murderer as soon as possible!

Li Hongzhang was in Baoding and played Tai Chi with foreigners. It is inferred that the bandits have guns, and there are many of them, and the Huai army has poor weapons, so they need to buy a batch of new guns from the British to help arrest people.

Because it was the army that died this time, and it was a fully armed, soldier on a mission, and it was inconvenient for Britain and France to make a big deal about it, because not only was it very faceless. It is not in line with international practice, how can you claim compensation if your soldiers are killed in other countries, or die outside the concession?

Besides, this time he couldn't even find the main owner, the last time he burned down the warehouse in the British and French concessions, Li Hongzhang forced the Canal Gang to pay 200,000 taels of silver, and this time Li Hongzhang didn't care.

Tianjin is all about mud, but things are always things. In these years, everything involved foreigners. There is no trivial matter, and besides, there are British and French soldiers who die, and the whole country is shaken!

Tianjin's dozen, of course, also alarmed the queen mother of the two palaces in Beijing!

After listening to the intelligence of the spies, the Empress Dowager Cixi had another understanding of the name Xuan Yuemeng. Although there is no direct evidence that Xuan Yuemeng is led by Xuan Yuemeng on the surface, everyone is slowly aware that Xuan Yuemeng is in Klinsmann & Co., and in the American Concession, she is not just a translator.

Empress Dowager Cixi asked Li Lianying, "Little Lizi." You say, a child with such great ability? ”

Li Lianying accepted Xuan Zonglu's silver, although she didn't have much contact with Xuan Yuemeng, her impression of the Xuan family was still good, "Queen Mother, child, even if it is a prodigy, it is a child after all, this must be the wind of someone drumming, it is all done by adults, and it is counted on children." ”

The Empress Dowager Cixi nodded and said with a smile: "You, you just went with the mourning family for everything, and the mourning family also thought so, child, how could you do anything?" However, the mourning family really wants to see this child named Xuan Yuemeng, you say, if we really implement this kind of smoking cessation pill, how will foreigners react? ”

Li Lianying smiled and said: "Yo, Queen Mother, you can ask the right person, how dare this slave chew the root of his tongue?" For this foreign affairs, you have to ask Prince Gong, Lord Chonghou, and Li Zhongtang. ”

Empress Dowager Cixi said lightly: "Prince Gong is not as good as before, the last time he asked that American Pu Ancheng to be the Minister of Foreign Affairs and travel around the world on behalf of the Qing Dynasty, he has been criticized at home and abroad!" Later, the mourning family thought about it, it was indeed such a reason, where was the matter of the Great Qing Kingdom, let a foreigner represent? I heard that this Pu Ancheng also signed a lot of treaties with foreigners outside, alas, this mistake is a big mistake! I think Prince Gong is not as good as a child, you see that this child is less than a year old, and he can already be a director of the Board of Directors of the American Concession Public Board. ”

Li Lianying hurriedly said: "What the Queen Mother said is that since everyone said that the child is a prodigy, he must be capable, right?" ”

The Empress Dowager Cixi thought for a moment, sorted out this matter a little in her mind, and said: "Draft, copy Ruilin's excerpts from various ministries, and discuss the implementation of smoking cessation pills with the military aircraft department and local governors, since foreigners dare not care about foreigners, and this smoking cessation pill can indeed help quit big smoking addiction, it is a good thing, we don't need to suppress it, it's best, or foreigners can fight with foreigners!" ”

Li Lianying immediately knelt down and said, "What the Queen Mother said is that the slave will go to deliver the decree immediately." ”

As soon as the Empress Dowager Cixi's will came, Li Hongzao was the first to support the implementation of smoking cessation pills, but he fulfilled his promise to Xuan Yuemeng.

Among the governors of the provinces, Ruilin was the first to play, so he didn't have to express his position, in fact, Ruilin originally felt that this thing would definitely not be possible, he was on such an excerpt, it didn't matter, compared with the promotion of Wenhua Hall Scholar, the last excerpt, and it didn't take much effort, where did I know that the Queen Mother would really send it down for the governors to discuss this matter?

Among the governors, everyone mainly looks at Zeng Guofan and Li Hongzhang, the south and the north and the two oceans, in fact, represent the highest voice of the local forces!

After Zeng Guofan expressed his support, Zuo Zongtang and others responded one after another, but Li Hongzhang was the only one who did not express his position for a long time!

Xuan Yuemeng really began to hate Li Hongzhang this time, he hated it most when a person spoke without credit! Zeng Jize kept his credit, Zeng Jize said before he went to Beijing that as long as the imperial court discussed the implementation of smoking cessation pills, Zeng Guofan would definitely come forward to express his support, and Zeng Jize did it.

Li Hongzhang also said at that time that he would definitely support it! But what about now? The other person is in Zhili, and he is the closest to the Jingshi among the governors of the world, but he doesn't say anything at the latest!

Can Xuan Yuemeng not start to dislike Li Hongzhang?

Li Hongzhang didn't say anything, but the Empress Dowager Cixi wanted to know what Li Hongzhang thought, Zhili wanted land, not compared to the place, and the governor of Zhili was actually the head of the governor of the world! Li Hongzhang's attitude is of course important!

Li Hongzhang only went to the fold after the imperial court's urging, saying that the implementation of smoking cessation pills should be postponed to avoid unnecessary disputes with foreigners.

After Xuan Yuemeng knew Li Hongzhang's attitude, she was completely angry this time!

What's the matter, Li Hongzhang, is your old boy farting when he talks?

Xuan Yuemeng's evaluation of Li Hongzhang currently has two points, one is to try to maintain the rule of the Qing Dynasty! The second is insatiable, putting his own interests first, treating the Huai army as his private army, at this point, Li Hongzhang is definitely not as atmospheric as Zeng Guofan, after defeating the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, if Zeng Guofan does not disband his huge Hunan army, it will not be difficult to get rid of the Qing government! But Zeng Guofan said that it would be disbanded, at least it had to be dissolved!

Anyway, Xuan Yuemeng's evaluation of Li Hongzhang is just two words - official slave!

Thinking about power, position, a dog who is willing to be a slave, an old dog, that's all.

Very shrewd, also very cowardly, definitely belongs to the category of dying in silence.

Xuan Yuemeng did not see Li Hongzhang's attitude as heavy, using the hesitation of foreigners, taking advantage of Britain and France to negotiate with Germany, Xuan Yuemeng's large number of materials arrived smoothly, Xuan Yuemeng spent more than 500,000 taels, purchased a large number of materials, and actively applied for teachers in Germany, so that the German government as soon as possible to help send a group of outstanding teachers to Tianjin, he is actively building school buildings, it is expected that the concession primary school will open after the beginning of spring! Half a literacy class first, and then in the summer, let him plan to open the school that takes the Western-style education route, that is, is close to the modern way of education!
