There are two things that need Li Hongzhang's help, both of which are not going well, the matter of the shipyard is directly rejected by Li Hongzhang, Xuan Yuemeng knows that if he wants to do it, he must spend his own money, and when the time comes, he will directly face the competition of foreigners, if it is fair competition, not to mention, now it is Britain and France monopolizing maritime transportation, and the rights and interests of Britain and France will inevitably be touched at that time, and Germany will not be a backer for itself.

Then there is the matter of sending international students to stay abroad, although Li Hongzhang agreed, but if the number of people is limited and does not meet the requirements of Xuan Yuemeng's heart, it will be meaningless.

The success rate of talents must be at least 10 to 1, right? Xuan Yuemeng thought that in the future, talents will be needed in education, medical care, and industry, especially in industry, where a hundred talents are needed, and a thousand people must be sent out!

Moreover, it will have to be sent out long enough! Let these international students complete high school and college first, and then go to all walks of life to study!

Small and medium-sized enterprises can be said to be large-scale, such as machinery manufacturing, ships, these enterprises related to the national defense industry, without ten years of hard work, will not be able to succeed at all!

Historically, this group of international students really only sent 30 people, but among these 30 people, there were several famous figures!

Zhan Tianyou, one of the leaders, directly laid the foundation of China's railway technology.

With China's current industrial level, which is almost zero, there is no second way to go except to send students to developed countries.

Suddenly, an Englishman's ironclad freighter came head-on with black smoke, and the speed was five times that of the official ship of the Qing Dynasty.

Li Hongzhang rarely lost his temper in front of Young Master Meng, spat resentfully, gritted his teeth and said to Yue Meng beside him: "Sooner or later, one day, our Great Qing Kingdom can also build an ironclad ship like this!" ”

The British wheel flew by, leaving a long line of black smoke in the sky above the two of them.

Xuan Yuemeng's gaze was resolute, "Lord Zhongtang, I hope that our country can be rich and strong, and we can no longer be bullied by foreign devils!" For the rest, I don't ask for anything, even if it makes me bankrupt, I'm willing. ”

Li Hongzhang looked at Xuan Yuemeng in surprise and nodded, "You are a good boy, you are so young, you know that you think about the world, but this is also what the Ministry of Education is worried about, why is your little mind so big?" ”

Xuan Yuemeng was shocked and speechless, and smiled slightly: "I'm just angry, why can foreigners come to our territory to claim hegemony and seize by force, let's even do some business in our own territory, and we have to think about foreigners first!" ”

Li Hongzhang looked at Timothy Li on the mast behind him, "There are also good foreigners, not all foreigners are unreasonable, this partner of yours is not bad, in the final analysis, we can't do it ourselves." ”

Young Master Meng smiled and came to Li Hongzhang's hand, "Master Li Zhongtang, I invite you to watch the performance." ”

Li Hongzhang looked at it, he had already driven to the sea, and said with a smile: "There is still a show to watch?" Don't let people go out anymore, do you want to go to sea? ”

Young Master Meng smiled: "If you don't open out, you will stop when you drive here, come here, sing and dance!" ”

Entering the luxurious cockpit, Li Hongzhang understood for the first time what luxury was, it was even more luxurious and exquisite than the emperor's Jinluan Palace, with a blanket made of leopard skin on the ground, and a board wall made of silverware on the walls.

The seats are all mahogany sofas!

Li Hongzhang sat down and picked up a tea bowl, "This is the official kiln of the Ming Dynasty!" Yue Meng, are these counted within the 200,000 you told me? ”

Young Master Meng smiled: "So, you just don't like to spend money, you have to spend money when you make money, I have never been in the habit of saving money." ”

Xuan Yuemeng said this, but it made Li Hongzhang's fear of Xuan Yuemeng a lot smaller, three years old to see small, seven years old to see old, if Xuan Yuemeng is not saving, not planned personality, Li Hongzhang likes it, can earn and spend, at most in the future is a capable young master.

Li Hongzhang said with a smile: "Your tea set, turn around, and give a copy to the headquarters." ”

Xuan Yuemeng smiled: "As long as it is what Lord Zhongtang likes, no matter what it is, just take it!" ”

Xuan Yuemeng looked at Li Hongzhang with a smile, and Li Hongzhang also smiled, "Okay, you have this heart, and it is not in vain that the headquarters hurts you, and I leak the bottom of it, you must have no way to know about this matter, because this is the matter of the center, Lord Li Hongzao asked for your origin in front of the Queen Mother!" ”

Xuan Yue was overjoyed, "Really? Want to carry a flag for my whole family? ”

Young Master Meng's overjoyed look made Li Hongzhang a little jealous, Li Hongzhang knew that people like Xuan Yuemeng, who gave more benefits, would lean on whom, this was really similar to him.

It's just that Li Hongzhang is leaning on the biggest backer of this era, and no one will ever surpass such a backer.

At least, Li Hongzhang sees the Empress Dowager Cixi like this, Cixi has a deep trust in Li Hongzhang, and Li Hongzhang is not like this for Cixi?

The politics of the late Qing Dynasty were always able to maintain stability, and there was a great reason for this relationship of mutual trust between Li Hongzhang and Cixi.

In other words, it is not completely trusted, it's just that both people trust each other's abilities, and Li Hongzhang is indeed loyal.

During the time when Xuan Yuemeng came, he had heard too much about the eight-banner system of this era, and the Chinese had servility in their bones, which was reflected in the Yuan Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty, which was the most specific, and how many foreigners were there? But you can rule such a big country.

There is no side, that is, to rule by bloodline, the more noble the bloodline, the more you don't have to do anything, you can hold the power steadily, if you can really raise the flag, for his future road, clear a lot of obstacles!

Li Hongzhang smiled and nodded, "It's true, I didn't dare to give it to you, because it was not accurate." ”

Xuan Yuemeng was slightly disappointed.

Li Hongzhang saw Xuan Yuemeng's appearance, and said with a smile: "It's so easy for you to carry the flag?" The main hall, as well as Zeng Zhongtang, are already the top in Hanchen, why didn't they raise the flag? It's a great honor, where is it so easy? Fortunately, you are a child and you have done a great job, so you have this opportunity. ”

Xuan Yuemeng nodded, "It's a pity, if I raise the flag, I should have additional preferential treatment if I rely on lifting people, and I don't need the help of Lord Zhongtang." ”

Li Hongzhang heard Xuan Yuemeng mention the matter of the imperial examination, "You didn't pass it to others, did you?" I can't say that to anyone. ”

Xuan Yuemeng smiled: "Of course I know, I just can't forget the kindness of Lord Zhongtang." ”

Li Hongzhang held Xuan Yuemeng's little chubby paws, "You don't need to remember this all the time." ”

The song and dance came up, so that Li Hongzhang just drank a sip of tea in his mouth, and almost didn't squirt out.

More than forty beautiful women, half Chinese and half Chinese, all dressed in very revealing services, danced and entered.

Not to mention Li Hongzhang, even Zhao Qingluo was too shy to look at it, those women, all young and beautiful, only covered the most important three points.

Li Hongzhang and Xuan Yuemeng sat on the top, Zhao Qingluo and Timothy Li were on both sides, and Timothy Li watched with relish.

Li Hongzhang: "Yue Meng, at a young age, how did you learn this?" ”

Xuan Yuemeng smiled slightly: "Lord Zhongtang wronged me, this is specially let Lord Zhongtang see it first, but I have never performed it, these beauties are invited from everywhere!" In order to put it in the Klinsmann Hotel for performances, if you like it, you can choose a few if you want it, regardless of Chinese or foreign. ”

Li Hongzhang chuckled, and immediately regained his composure, "You really think about it, who are you in the department?" Why don't you get one back for your grandpa? ”

Xuan Yuemeng had a bitter little face, "My grandfather? Where did his body pass the middle hall? Moreover, I didn't let Lord Zhongtang take it home, if Lord Zhongtang liked it, I would immediately ask people to arrange a house for Lord Zhongtang in Baoding, so that Lord Zhongtang could relax for a while. ”

Li Hongzhang scolded with a smile: "You are really a villain, you know everything?" The main department doesn't need you to be so kind, and the main department doesn't need it. (To be continued.) )
