Chapter 100: Second sister, you take care of Zhongtang
After some tossing, Li Jingpu blushed and blushed, and finally lit the cigarette pouch for Li Hongzhang, Li Hongzhang took a puff of cigarette, returned to the topic, and continued to teach He Changying angrily:
"You are a co-organizer of the five products, what can you give to others? If you open your mouth, you will have a million taels of silver, and you will not be afraid of the wind and flash your tongue! He Zhang Bishi was able to take out six thousand taels of silver tickets at that time, which was already a big face for you, and he was not afraid that you would put small shoes on his nephew; You still dare to put down people's faces and drive people away when you open your mouth, you little rabbit cub is really lawless! β
Seeing He Changying's funny appearance of looking at him with admiration on his face, and nodding seriously from time to time, Li Hongzhang was so angry that he almost smashed the green jade ball in his hand. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
"Don't pretend to me, you rabbit cub, aren't you spitting lotus flowers? Aren't you famous? A copy of "The Scream" made Jinmen paper expensive, punched foreigners, punished ruffians, and 'fish pot head' hard sticks, smashed people's thighs with a stick, and let the people of Jinmen guard block the door of Jinhai County twice in two days! You He Changying has a lot of skills, your He Ye is now this one in the Jinmen guard-"
Li Hongzhang raised a thumbs up at He Changying with a dark face: "You still need to pretend to be an old man with me!" β
Li Jingpu raised his eyes and glanced at He Changying in surprise, and quickly lowered his eyelids, he didn't expect that this disciple who had taken advantage of himself twice in a row would have so many stories.
"Zhongtang, Zhang Bishi gave me 200,000 taels of silver last night."
He Changying forcibly endured the smugness in her heart, and whispered with a 'panicked' face.
"Smack!"
The green jade ball that was spinning in Li Hongzhang's hand stopped suddenly, and he looked at He Changying suspiciously and asked, "What?" β
Li Jingpu also raised his pretty face in shock, and looked at He Changying, who couldn't help but be triumphant on his face.
"Qiyu Zhongtang, not long after Zhang Bishi left last night, he asked an old servant to come over and give me a silver ticket of 200,000 taels; said that as a patriotic overseas Chinese, he could not personally carry a gun to the battlefield to defend the country, and he felt deeply guilty, so he sent 200,000 taels of silver to express his heart to support the cadet army to fight against the Oriental devils. β
He Changying said these words respectfully, and didn't dare to look up at Li Hongzhang's expression, but it must have been very exciting.
The air in the pavilion seemed to be frozen, and only the knowledge on the big tree by the wall kept shouting "Zhi" and "Zhizhi".
"Get out!"
Li Hongzhang was so angry that he almost suffocated, and he stretched out his hand angrily and pointed at He Changying, even his fingers were trembling: "You get out of here!" β
"Okay, I'll get out, I'll get out, Zhongtang, don't be angry; Second sister, you take care of Zhongtang, I'll get out, I'll get out-"
He Changying was really startled when he saw Li Hongzhang's old face flushed.
Really this old man to death, the Qing Dynasty still had to skin himself alive?
He Changying hurriedly told Li Jingpu, who was looking at him stupidly, with a cheap smile, and slipped towards the courtyard outside.
Second sister? Is this me?
Which one is your sister again, what a big scoundrel!
Li Jingpu, who came back to his senses, blushed and glared fiercely at He Changying's back in the distance.
"Come back, ahemβ"
Li Hongzhang coughed violently in his mouth.
He Changying had no choice but to retract her steps and honestly return to the pavilion with a flattering smile on her face.
After waiting for a while, Li Hongzhang relieved himself, he took a big sip of tea, and glared at the innocent He Changying fiercely: "Say, what's going on?" β
"Zhongtang, that's what happened, not long after Lord Zhang left, he asked the old servant to send 200,000 taels of silver tickets, saying that he was waiting for the good news that our cadet battalion defeated the Oriental devils in Korea; - At the time, I was baffled by this backsliding. β
He Changying slightly processed the original words of Zhang Bishi's old servant who didn't like it and told Li Hongzhang to listen.
"Backtracking, do you say that? The co-author gave you silver, but there was a complaint! β
Li Hongzhang taught this unconscious He Feixi fellow a lesson, and looked at his eyes scrutinically, and couldn't understand for a while why after He Changying rejected Zhang Bishi's 6,000 taels of silver, Zhang Bishi actually took out 200,000 taels of silver and gave He Changying, a kid.
Is it because Zhang Bishi's nephew is in the cadet camp, and he is afraid that He Changying will announce his personal vendetta?
But in this matter, as long as Zhang Bishi told himself, he didn't transfer his nephew out of the cadet camp lightly.
Since he couldn't figure it out, Li Hongzhang decided to put it aside for now, after all, he had a more important purpose in looking for He Changying to come over today.
But in his heart, Li Hongzhang couldn't help but glance at He Changying again.
Overseas Chinese in Nanyang are rich, especially that Zhang Bishi is simply rich and rivals the country, which everyone knows.
But over the years, how could the Qing Dynasty have been reimbursed by these overseas remnants?
The jade Buddha given to Lafayette by Du Wengen is said to be worth 30,000 taels of silver, which is already a rare large-scale sum.
But it is said that gold has a price, jade is priceless, the jade Buddha Li Hongzhang has also seen it himself, the jade is a good jade, the top mutton fat white jade, but the price is a bit inflated if it is 30,000 taels of silver.
In Li Hongzhang's view, not to mention more, it is appropriate to make a half-discount.
But this kid is good, he flickered, and he got Zhang Bishi 200,000 taels of silver for white flowers with empty gloves.
Talent!
From He Changying walked into this garden, it was not until this time that Li Hongzhang treated his little fellow from Feixi with an attitude of attention.
On the ground of China, and even the whole world, it is the ability to make others willingly pay for money with just one mouth and empty gloves.
And it is 200,000 taels for one shot, and it is Zhang Bishi, a Nanyang super-rich man, who pays the money!
How big a face he Li Hongzhang is, but when he met Zhang Bishi in person this time, he was all at once; And Chen Qianshan in Luzon only donated a thousand taels of silver.
The money of the self-made rich is actually the most difficult to earn, they often regard money as more important than anything else, and they are all masters who do not see rabbits and eagles.
One can imagine how difficult it would be to get money out of their hands.
Of course, He Changying knew that Li Hongzhang had doubts in his heart, but he couldn't say anything about this matter, so he could only let the people slowly understand it in the actual actions of the new army in the future.
The reason why Zhang Bishi willingly paid for the silver was that our new army wanted to save the country with their lives, and every tael of silver would really be used for this purpose, turning into bullets and shooting into the enemy's chest.
And you, Li Hongzhang, Cixi, and the officials of the Qing Dynasty, stared at people's wallets like hungry wolves, waiting for others to donate and repay the service, wanting to get other people's money into their own pockets, and tricked them into buying fields, land, and houses for themselves, and taking concubines to drink flowers and wine and play with women.
But he didn't seriously think about how to really do something for the country and the people with this money.
Overseas Chinese are not fools, and the silver they earned at the risk of their lives across the ocean will be given to you white flowers.
Is it true that you are the Manchu Dynasty civil and military of the Qing Dynasty, and Guangxu Cixi Lafayette is the cheap son of overseas Chinese?
