In the early stage, you can directly hire high-level foreign technicians, but in order to ensure the technology in the factory, you must also have your own technical group, and the three things that Master Meng is most concerned about now are!

First things first: where will the steel plant be able to open!? He counted on the Qing court, but he didn't bet the treasure on the Qing court, to be honest, he didn't really want to open it in the Qing country! The Qing court is unreliable after all! If there is no warning one day, it will be confiscated for him, and he will not cry to death in the corner.

The second thing: is to make money, after all, making money is the last word, no money, saying everything else is nonsense, when you have no money, kneel down and beg, others will not send you money!

The third thing: it's a group of technicians, a huge group of technicians! It needs to be cultivated by industrial countries such as the United States and Germany, and there will be more opportunities for such late-emerging industrial countries. But Master Meng has to send people out!

These three things, for Young Master Meng, are almost difficult to control with his personal strength, he can only work silently, fortunately, Young Master Meng's personality is resolute, no matter what the result is, he has to bury his head and keep moving forward!

These three things are to put it bluntly, that is, one thing, that is, weapons, munitions, logistics supplies, in this era, it is not difficult to pull up a group of people, bandits in the mountains, willows in the northeast, ringing horses, and there are a lot of them!

However, just pulling up a team, there are no hard guys at hand, no logistics supplies, and at most it is just a small fight, in that case, it is not in line with the appetite of the cute young master!

Young Master Meng is not a person who eats wild vegetables in the mountains and makes a revolution.

Xuan Zonglu: "Okay, Yuemeng can have a teacher like Master Li, what else can she say?" Yuemeng, you just worship Master Li as a teacher, otherwise, people in the Qing Dynasty will say that we don't know how to be grateful for the pictorial. ”

Young Master Meng sweated, came back to his senses, and didn't care about what the two people were talking about before, "I, I'm sleepy, what did you just say?" ”

Li Hongzao touched the little chubby face of the young master Meng, "On the day you are summoned, I plan to make a statement to the Queen Mother, and let you read with the emperor for a few days, which can be regarded as a reward for you, the old man is the emperor's master, if you become the old man's closed disciple, I believe the Queen Mother will give me this thin face." ”

Young Master Meng sweats profusely, this is what he dislikes the most.

Young Master Meng smiled: "Be a disciple of Master Li? I wish I could. ”

Li Hongzao saw that although Yue Meng had a smile on his face, he didn't seem to be very energetic, and he was secretly unhappy, but he really liked Young Master Meng too much, so he pulled Yue Meng and let Yue Meng stand on the ground: "Yue Meng, come on, come on, stand up, are you willing to learn from me about the ancient books of scripture and history?" ”

Xuan Zonglu stood up suddenly, "Willing, can this be unwilling?" Last time, he said that he hadn't talked to his father-in-law, but then I told Ji Ze, and Ji Ze still complained about me, saying that there is such a good teacher as Master Li, but the Manchu Qing Kingdom can't find a second one! ”

Young Master Meng actually knows the key to it, if he becomes Li Hongzao's disciple, it means that he has nothing to do with the royal family, and in the future, he can only go to the Hanchen route of Zeng Guofan, Li Hongzao, and Li Hongzhang.

Young Master Meng was hesitating, looking at Li Hongzao's eager eyes, knowing that if he didn't agree, most of the old man would be angry, and after thinking about it, it was good not to have anything to do with the Manchu royal family, no matter how slow the development was, Lao Tzu would develop slowly! Do you take the curved route of the king dog to save the country?

Young Master Meng immediately knelt down and said sincerely: "I am willing to worship Master Li as a teacher, but before the age of ten, Master Li is not allowed to hold me to study, I am already a talent, I love to learn now, I don't love to learn, and I am not allowed to force me to learn." ”

Li Hongzao laughed, "This kid, there are a lot of ghost tricks, okay, Lord Ben promised you!" ”

Young Master Meng smiled: "A gentleman's word! ”

Li Hongzao nodded: "Whip the horse quickly." ”

Young Master Meng was overjoyed, he was such a person, before making a decision, he would be extremely entangled, and after he really made a decision, he was in a relaxed mood, bowed his head, bang, bang, and kowtowed to Li Hongzao three times.

Li Hongzao hugged Young Master Meng in ecstasy, and kissed him left and right on Young Master Meng's chubby face, "Good, good, really good, good boy." Go tell the housekeeper, treat! posted a post, invited the neighbors, as well as a few old guys from the court, called all my disciples in Beijing, and told everyone that I, Li Hongzao, accepted Yuemeng as a closed disciple, and will not accept disciples in the future. ”

People who learn martial arts, there is a golden basin to wash their hands, people of literature, like to have a closed disciple or something, generally like parents to children, the youngest one, is the most favored.

Xuan Zonglu was also full of joy, "Lord Li, this guest, Yue Meng is here, right?" Just drop it off at the Klinsmann Hotel, so you don't have to toss around in your hometown. ”

Li Hongzao was a little unhappy, "I forgot to say just now, Yue Meng, in the future, you will have less to fight with foreigners, you want to study hard at the age of ten, I can promise you, but there is no benefit to you in dealing with foreigners, you know?" ”

Young Master Meng was sweating profusely, but thinking that Li Hongzao didn't ask too much about things outside the court, he had already worked hard every day to study, and when he returned to Tianjin, he didn't care about him, so he nodded and agreed.

How did Li Hongzao know that Young Master Meng's promise was like a fart? Seeing Yuemeng agree, she was naturally overjoyed.

The pedantic and clear Li Hongzao, and the ghostly young master Meng, the two of them became masters and apprentices, which is also a very interesting thing.

Xuan Zonglu and Li Hongzao talked for a while, this time it was different from just now, the relationship between the two old men was more Yuemeng, and they were more enthusiastic, and Xuan Zonglu was also an old literati, so he naturally said that he was a deed.

The efficiency of the Li Mansion is very high, and it is also because Li Hongzao is anxious, and on the second day, the apprenticeship banquet was opened.

Li Hongzao didn't plan to invite many people to come, originally he planned to be thirty or forty, get three to four tables and be done. But more and more, more and more people came, and many of them heard the news and came by themselves.

Although Li Hongzao does not belong to the real power faction, he has great prestige in the court, especially after the death of the older generation of people such as Wuren and Guanwen, he has faintly become the leader of civil officials! was extremely relied on by Cixi, and it was an important bargaining chip for Cixi to engage in power balance!

Li Hongzao was reluctant to go to the Klinsmann Hotel, so Young Master Meng had to let people buy vegetables and vegetables, give away wine, and let Li Hongzao's wife die happily.

What kind of person is Li Hongzao? Leader Qingliu, most of the disciples he received were similar to Xuan Yuelei's, how could someone improve the welfare of his family?

Li Hongzao didn't know how much the paperweight was worth, Mrs. Li knew better than anyone else, she secretly sent the maid to find a good lady to help see it, and the good lady looked at the whole body of white jade and then inlaid with gold, and the estimated value was at least 50,000 taels.

Mrs. Li told Li Hongzao, Li Hongzao smiled bitterly, since he had already received Yuemeng, it would not be suitable to return the gift, and the belongings of his whole family, the leader of the clear stream, would not be worth the value of this paperweight.

Mrs. Li immediately smiled at Li Hongzao and said, "My lord, the most proud thing you have done in your life is to accept Yuemeng." ”

Li Hongzao smiled bitterly and shook his head, "This kid is extremely talented, and he is extremely smart, so I'm afraid that he will go the wrong way in the future." ”

Mrs. Li muttered: "The adult has taken the right path all his life, but the expenses of the family are not enough to reach a small official." ”

Li Hongzao sighed and didn't argue with his wife.

Li Hongzao thought about the conversation with his wife yesterday, and then looked at the steady stream of meat, wine, and all kinds of fresh fruits and vegetables that were moved into the house, many of which he hadn't even seen!

Mrs. Li hugged Young Master Meng and smiled like a flower, Mrs. Li is also in her fifties, which is the age when she likes children, "Yue Meng, don't send it anymore, so much?" When will you eat it? ”

Young Master Meng smiled: "It's okay, I can't finish eating, and then give it away, I see that there are few servants in the teacher's family, so I helped you buy twenty maids and twenty house slaves." These people who help will not leave in the future. ”

Mrs. Li was surprised: "I'm afraid this won't work, your teacher will definitely not agree." (To be continued.) )
