There are some things that Li Hongzhang can do, and everyone praises them, this is the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau.

There are some things that Zhang Zhidong can do, and everyone praises it, this is Hanyang Iron Works.

There are some things that Sheng Xuanhuai can do, and everyone applauds them, this is the steamship China Merchants Bureau.

There are some things, but Chang Zhenbang can't do it, not to mention how the central government will ruling, that is, Li Chun's side in Nanchang will not allow it, and the whole province will be called to Chang Zhenbang to introspect, this is Jiujiang Xiyang Hospital.

When the reprimand document sent by the Overseer's Mansion was delivered to Chang Zhenbang, Chang Zhenbang first smiled bitterly, and then laughed and tore the document to shreds.

However, what will these Dongying people think, Chang Zhenbang can't guess, and can't take care of them, after returning from the dock, he settled Sakura, he hurriedly returned to Jiujiang Town to guard the yamen, busy dealing with those routine official duties, but these official duties are not all routine, there are also some unexpected good news, Li Tianzheng after these days of day and night study, finally the composition of gunpowder to a purity that can be used for military activities, The cannon-like grenades with long twists were changed to thick wooden handles, which also increased the explosion success rate of these grenades to forty and a half. Forty and a half percent of this standard in Zhang Tianzheng's view is a gratifying number, but in the eyes of Chang Zhenbang is better than nothing, applied to the actual combat at least to reach about sixty percent to be qualified, after the good news is the cliché complaint, what lack of workers, lack of machine tools As for raw materials and funds, the old Zhang family has contributed a handful, and there will be no shortage in a short time.

"Machine tools?" Chang Zhenbang smiled bitterly: "This year, the machine tool is not so easy to get, this Zhang Tianzheng will really give me a problem, since the grenade is not satisfactory, then stop for the time being, and develop more gunpowder and bombs!" Sun Monkey rebels against the party, there are people who can make bombs, you might as well let Zhang Tianzheng study it, maybe it will be! After speaking, he wrote his opinion with a stroke of the pen.

"Little Liu, did the guy from Xunxianglou come yesterday!" Chang Zhenbang put down the official document in his hand and shouted.

Zhang Xiaoliu hurriedly shouted outside the door: "My lord, I have brought it, and now I am being lectured by Adjutant Zhang!" ”

Chang Zhenbang said: "Let Adjutant Zhang and Liu Fen come in together, I have something to say to them." ”

After a while, Liu Fen and Zhang Youneng appeared in front of Chang Zhenbang together, Zhang Youneng was full of red face, yesterday he complained that he didn't see the singing and dancing of Dongying beauties, but he didn't expect the Wuchuan family to send a fourteen or fifteen-year-old little girl to his bed, which really gave him a taste of the customs of the Dongying people, according to the convention, there was no reason to return the gift that entered his adjutant Zhang's house, so this little girl obediently stayed under him, after Wuchuan Xingying learned, didn't say anything and sent the woman's deed of sale and three hundred oceans over, as if he had added a daughter, which made Zhang Youneng very useful, he was really happy today, but when he saw Liu Fen, he was a little uncomfortable, and he couldn't understand what his cousin was thinking, the Wuchuan family's silver ticket didn't want pounds, but he asked for a guy from Xunxianglou, so that he just reprimanded him, after all, being an errand in Xunxianglou is not the same as being an errand in the town.

It's just that he didn't expect that this Liu Fen was also a coward, he really couldn't fight back, he didn't scold back, his face was like a spring breeze, he was not ashamed and unashamed, which made him disgusted when he saw it, if Chang Zhenbang asked Zhang Xiaoliu to call them. He's going to have to slap this little cub a few times.

Chang Zhenbang glanced at Liu Fen and said, "Xiao Liu, your performance in Xunxianglou is very good, my brother looks at you as a talent, and wants to ask you to be an errand with me, I don't know if you are willing?" ”

Liu Fen said very politely: "Thank you for the promotion, the little one is willing." ”

Chang Zhenbang said: "If you want, stay with me for the time being as a horseman, as long as you do a good job, you will be indispensable for promotion and wealth." ”

Liu Fen said: "The little one also wants to be promoted and make a fortune, but the little one is more like doing everything that the adults explain well, doing it well, and living up to the deep friendship of the adults and the villains." ”

Chang Zhenbang nodded when he heard this, and said: "Yes, I am optimistic about you, here is a list, it is the reverse birth of the rebellious Zhang Jifei, you can take a look!" As he spoke, he tossed a slip from the table.

Liu Fen walked over, caught the list before it landed, unfolded it gently, almost swept it at a glance, and respectfully handed it to Chang Zhenbang, and said, "Back to the adult, the small one has already seen it, and please show it to the adult." ”

Zhang Youneng smiled coldly, and said in his heart, you can blow it, my cousin is not such a foolish person, and you will be good-looking later.

Chang Zhenbang smiled slightly, but didn't take the list in his hand, but said: "Since you have seen it all, have you written it down a few times!" ”

Liu Fen said confidently: "Don't dare to deceive adults, if you don't believe it, you can ask questions in person." ”

After Chang Zhenbang heard this, he took the list from his hand, unfolded it and put it in front of his desk, glanced at Liu Fen, lowered his head and asked: "Okay, let me ask you how many fields and stores Zhang Jifei has, and how many restaurants and pharmacies are in these stores." ”

Liu Fen didn't think about it, and said: "The traitor Zhang Jifei's family has 480,000 mu of land and 137 real estates, including three large mansions, twelve small mansions, three restaurants, and seven pharmacies. ”

After listening to what he said, Chang Zhenbang nodded again and again: "Yes, it's really good, what you said is really exactly the same as the numbers on this list!" Yes, very good. ”

Liu Fen didn't have any joy on her face, but said lightly: "Thank you for the compliment." ”

Chang Zhenbang raised his head, looked at him expectantly and said: "This official appoints you as the lieutenant and quartermaster adjutant of the quartermaster department, and you are paid by the major, and you are fully responsible for the three restaurants under Zhang Jifei's name. ”

"My lord, I can't help it!" Before Liu Fen could express his position, Zhang Youneng stood up and protested loudly, you must know that these properties in Zhang Jifei's name have been coveted by him for a long time, especially the three restaurants, he has been thinking about them for a long time, and he has talked to Chang Zhenbang a few times, but he didn't expect to cheapen this newcomer, which really made him unable to understand.

Liu Fen thought about it for a while, and did not rush to agree, but said without humility or arrogance: "May I ask the town guard envoy, if you want the small one to take care of these three hotels, in addition to the false title of lieutenant adjutant, can you let me recruit people on my own?" ”

"Boy, what are you doing here? This is the dignified Jiujiang Town Guard Yamen, not the account room of your Xunxiang Building! How can you hire people casually? If Chang Zhenbang hadn't said anything, his slap would have passed a long time ago, and he had never seen such a bad thing these days with Chang Zhenbang.

Chang Zhenbang waved his hand lightly at Zhang Youneng, turned around and said to Liu Fen: "You can't say that, since the official has handed over all these three restaurants to you, you have full authority to deal with them, know and employ people, and use people without doubt!" You can do it with confidence! ”

Liu Fen said: "The initial money and food, as well as the cost of recruiting people, are they paid from adults? ”

Chang Zhenbang said: "I will give you three thousand oceans later, and if it is not enough in the future, I will report to me." I'll give you an answer in three days! ”

Liu Fen thought for a while and said: "Adults may not know, shopping malls are like battlefields, and soldiers are fast!" Please reply to me on the same day. ”

As soon as Zhang Youneng heard this, the fire in his stomach that he had just held back suddenly became even bigger, and he almost jumped in front of Chang Zhenbang, knelt on his table, and said loudly: "Cousin, this person is too presumptuous, he can be killed if he pulls it out." ”

He stood in front of Chang Zhenbang angrily, but Chang Zhenbang regarded him as nothing, just scratched his head, and was a little embarrassed: "Xiao Liu, you really gave me a big problem, but what you said is right!" The shopping mall is like a battlefield, the soldiers are fast, three days may be too long, but it is not impossible to give you an approval on the same day, but I am busy with official business, and I will not give you an answer anytime and anywhere, and it is troublesome to reply again and again, it is better to do this, you go back and give me a note, and see how much money is allocated to you! ”

Liu Fen said: "It is also a suitable way for adults to propose such a method, but if there is an emergency, the small one still hopes that the adult can give a small answer in time." ”

"Enough, you little thing, don't think that adults give you three points of color, you will open the dye vat with Lao Tzu, adults are adults, you are just a small running hall!" Zhang Youneng yelled very angrily, these restaurants not only fell into the hands of this little cub, but also the cousin seemed to be very conniving at this trotter, this connivance seemed to make Chang Zhenbang ignore his anger and a room, this is not a good sign, if the cousin is indifferent to himself, then his good life will come to an end. He clearly knows that with his current ability, without the big tree of Chang Zhenbang, Dongying will not give him another woman and money. Without these extra money, it would be better to kill him if he lived the hard days before.

"Adults in the army are experts, and those who run small hotels are veterans. If the funds cannot be mobilized in time, it will lead to a decline in the hotel business or even a crisis, as long as the adults do not blame the small ones. Liu Fen said fearlessly.

Zhang Youneng first glanced at Chang Zhenbang, and when he saw that his face was serious, he suddenly became bold again, slapped the table, and said: "Boy, you are threatening adults!" ”

Chang Zhenbang said: "Okay, this official promises you, as long as you hand over the note, I will see the first thing, and if I have something, I will give you a reply on the same day." You can accept it with confidence now! ”

Liu Fen said: "Thank you for your support, the villain is willing to take over." ”

"Very good, you go down first and put together a good idea to submit, let's go!" Chang Zhenbang Road

Liu Fen said: "The little one has retired." After saying that, he bowed and left.

Chang Zhenbang said lightly: "Not arrogant, not impatient, not humble or arrogant, talents are rare!" ”

"Cousin, can this kid be trusted?" Zhang Youneng said angrily: "I don't know the bottom line, my cousin gave him such a lot of power and financial support as soon as he came up. It's not good if you get caught up in this kid's bag. ”

Chang Zhenbang raised his eyelids and glanced at Zhang Youneng, who was seven uneven and eight angry, and said slowly: "Youneng, my promotion speed is too fast, there are too few people who know the roots, and there are many things to do, but there are really no talents in my hands!" The only thing that is fortunate is that now all the officials are high and powerful, and they control the life and death of these people, and these people can have two hearts for me, but not for their own future. ”

Zhang Youneng said uneasily: "My cousin can't help but look up to him too much by giving him three restaurants in one go, and my younger brother thinks that giving him a hotel is enough for him to be busy!" Giving him three is too much to exalt him. ”

"Give it to him, it's for him, it's useless for me to keep it! It's better to let him do it, even if this kid can't do it, he can clean it up, let us see the routine, and when we find a good person, we can just come over from him. Chang Zhenbang said unhurriedly: "By the way, those pharmacies in Zhang Jifei's hands, you choose one for me with the largest area and the best location, sort it out for me, and in a few days, I will open a hospital." This training and leading troops is really like running water, and we don't want to think of a way to do it ourselves, so it's really not good. ”

Zhang Youneng said: "Cousin, I'll do something, you can rest assured." It's just a drugstore, and if you can trust your brother, let him take care of all seven of them for you. Guarantee your wealth and resources, no more than that trot! ”

"Huh." Chang Zhenbang said: "Brother, we are cousins, and we are not outsiders, how can we not trust you?" But brother, I want to ask, brother, will you see a doctor? ”

"This ......" Zhang Youneng thought for a while and said, "Cousin, my brother doesn't know how to see a doctor, but my brother has friends." I can also get special medicinal materials for my cousin. ”

Chang Zhenbang sighed and said, "I understand what you mean, why bother so much?" If something happens and it doesn't affect you well, if I am arranging for you to do something else in the future, others should take it out and pick on it, so why bother? Besides, if you follow me, you can't get any money-making errands, so why bother to get these things that you don't have, and put yourself in it? ”

Zhang Youneng is very unwilling, but when I think about it, it's really like this, as long as I follow my cousin's east wind, I will fly higher and higher like that kite, I don't have to do these specific things, someone will send money to women while lying in bed, why bother with these things, thankless and thankless, if you really mess up, even if your cousin wants to give himself a good time, not to mention others, even his own brother Zhang Youhua will not agree.

"Youneng, after the pharmacy is busy, where do you want to keep an eye on Liu Fen, he is a veteran of the hotel, but you and my brother!" Chang Zhenbang took out the drawer, took out a golden card and handed it to Zhang Youneng, and said: "This is your sister-in-law invited from the mountains, I am now pampered, I don't have to bow down, this will be given to you!" ”

Zhang Youneng took it, and when he saw it, his heart was really happy. This gold piece has a thumb width, an index finger long, the front of the Buddha is a cross-legged bust seated statue, the back is the Diamond Sutra, the carving is extremely exquisite, even if it is copper, it is worth a lot of money, but can the Buddha invited by Xiaozhu's sister-in-law to her cousin be copper? There is a thought, it is really a sin, how can you talk about the Buddha with such mortal things as gold and bronze, it is really a sin, Buddha Lord, don't mind, after I go back, I will ask the Dongying girl to get you a bag, we will get along day and night, and use my popularity to supply your old man.

Seeing that Zhang Youneng went down to do things with a smile on his face, Chang Zhenbang asked Zhang Xiaoliu to invite Lu Xiaozhu over.
