On this day, Hu Xiaoyan and Li Hongzhang talked for a long time and talked a lot.

It's hard to have a lot of words hidden in your heart. It's easy to have a god-like opponent who can listen quietly, how can Hu Xiaoyan be willing to hide his secrets?

From the 100,000-kilometer railway plan to the education plan of 30 key universities across the country. From the Million Kilometer Plan to the National Agricultural Production Plan. From the northeast to Tibet, from Mongolia to the coast of Zhejiang and Fujian. From the army to the navy, from warships to airplanes. Hu Xiaoyan knows everything and says everything.

It's just a pity that when Hu Xiaoyan said that his mouth was dry and he finally stopped to take a breath, he found that Li Hongzhang was asleep. Slept peacefully.

Miss Roosevelt had been in China long enough and was ready to return to China, so she invited Hu Xiaoyan to see her off. Hu Xiaoyan also just wanted to find out what this little pepper was messing around that day.

But after arriving, Hu Xiaoyan realized that he was thinking too much. Most of the send-offs were ministers, and a few were staff members of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The sedan chair is the most eye-catching.

And Hu Xiaoyan's position is naturally the back, and by the time Hu Xiaoyan stepped forward to speak, an hour had passed. The two were speechless to each other.

"I hope you don't be like those fools. I've heard you've been to the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Belgium, Switzerland, and other countries, but why don't you go to the United States? "Little pepper is still little pepper, and the export will choke people.

"Because the United States has a Chinese Exclusion Act. I was worried that I would be beaten for no reason while walking down the street. Hu Xiaoyan looked innocent.

Pepper was stunned.

"Okay. I hope you will come to the United States. I invite you to drink. My dad hid a five-year-old bottle of red wine and hoped you would have a chance to drink it. ”

"You keep it, I'll go someday." Hu Xiaoyan didn't care. He was still thinking about the chick's intentions.

"Then I wish you the best of luck until that day."

"Yes."

Hu Xiaoyan didn't understand why Miss Roosevelt said this, and he didn't think that this chick had a crush on him. Miss Roosevelt was extraordinary, and she certainly looked down on ordinary people, or people with an IQ of less than one hundred and eighteen, and the kind of young man who deliberately behaved mentally in order to gain the favor of women could not arouse the slightest interest in this eldest lady.

"Goodbye."

The chick stretched out her right hand, Hu Xiaoyan took it, and kissed it gently. The two said goodbye.

Miss Roosevelt's departure marked the end of the peace talks. Emperor Xuanwu Zaifeng arrogantly instructed Tie Liang to suppress the Sichuan Railway Tide. But Tie Liang didn't quite do that. He instructed local businessmen to invest in schools, factories and minerals. To this end, Hu Xiaoyan specially approved a group of mining experts to take students into Sichuan to look for minerals. The results are also very encouraging. Sichuan was originally a region with a lot of minerals. There is the policy support of the local government, and the financial support of the local wealth. Sichuan's mining industry has also slowly developed.

As for the railroad craze, it is not over. Is it true that Tie Liang's elite thousand-man team eats dry rice?

After Tieliang got rid of the railway trend, he began to recruit troops and horses to prepare for the westward expedition.

The Tibet issue is the most critical issue facing Sichuan. If Tibet is unstable, the railway will not be built well. It took more than ten years for the later Zhao brothers to settle Tibet. But Tieliang doesn't have so much time, and Manchu people have always been higher than heaven and thinner than paper. There are not many who are capable. Although Tie Liang is a rare talent among the Manchurians, he has to compare with whom. Compared with Liu Kun and others, it seems that Tie Liang is quite capable. But compared to the Zhao brothers, it's hehe.

Tie Liang recruited troops very quickly, and he recruited 30,000 elite soldiers in two days. It's just that the money, weapons, and other materials needed can only wait for the central government to raise them. Local businessmen will not donate much of this money. So Tie Liang began to sit on wax, because Zaifeng had no money.

For a month after the discussion with Li Hongzhang, Li Hongzhang slept in the hospital room. Not only Li Jingfang and Li Jingmai brothers, but also some of the widows of the Li family were also present. Surprisingly, including Wang Men, Wang Minyun and others all arrived in person. and Zhang Zhidong, Liu Kunyi and others also sent henchmen.

Everyone knew that Li Hongzhang was dying soon.

But what everyone expected was wrong was that Li Hongzhang woke up again, but it was very difficult to speak, not to mention eating or something, he could only drink some liquid food.

Hu Xiaoyan spent all day in the capital in addition to sitting on wax in the court, but also took Angel and Qin Yun to wander around the Liuli Factory every day. Here he also received information from all over the world.

After Zhang Yuan was frustrated in Mongolia, he quickly regrouped, he and Liu Yidao contacted again, with Chen Yu's large amount of money and brains, Liu Yidao officially became a high-level guest of Mongolia. Chen Yu has also become the largest supplier in Mongolia in one fell swoop. But Chen Yu did not benefit the most.

Among them, the most profitable was the Jin merchants, who were not only sold to Mongolia but also to Russia and North Korea after a lot of speculation by Anqing. Japan occupied most of the railways in the three eastern provinces. After this section of the railway was operated by Japan, Japan's minerals, ginseng, grain, and other materials in Korea were transported to all parts of the country by rail, and some of them were transported to Mongolia and the northwest by the hands of the Jin merchants.

With these simple financial exchanges, Chen Yu also gained a firm foothold in the Jin merchants and Mongolia. However, Chen Yu has not shown the slightest abnormality at present. Not to mention dealing with the Jin merchants and the Mongols. Hu Xiaoyan would never allow this chess piece to be used so simply.

With the exception of the Mongols, the rebels in Korea were supported by Manchu munitions and non-commissioned officers, and they fought two clean battles. It caused a temporary shock in the North Korean political circles. The hearts of the North Korean people are also slowly beginning to float. The foundations of Japanese rule in Korea were also slowly beginning to falter. It's just that Japan's strength in Korea is too strong, and these small things have not yet alarmed the attention of the Japanese base camp, but this is also a matter of time.

And Annam, which was ruled by France. Since Hu Xiaoyan woke up, he arranged for someone to go to Annan to operate. At present, it is only in Annan to catch up with the line. Then Anqing's light industrial products began to pour into the Annam market along the Yangtze River, which also briefly suppressed the sales of French goods in Annam. The French minister, Bi Sheng, protested against this several times, but unfortunately no one paid attention to him. France's international reputation has plummeted since the defeat of the Sino-French War, and if it weren't for Napoleon's prestige, Germany would have taken him a long time ago.

Correspondingly, the development of Anqing Light Industrial Zone has also begun to enter a bottleneck. Not to mention the national market, we must also add the Southeast Asian market, the Mongolian market and the Russian market brought by Chen Yu. The production capacity of the industrial zone is already insufficient. Now part of the production capacity is taken out to meet the Annam market, and the output of the industrial zone is now being chased and blocked by merchants from all over the world every day.

The output is insufficient, and Enming has no way, he is now counting the money and counting the cramps in his hands, and he is thinking about re-establishing a light industrial zone! It's just that the Manchurian mind really doesn't have much experience in business. Enming, the governor, is also having a headache now.

However, Hu Xiaoyan will definitely not let Enming continue to have a headache. He got on the line with the champion businessman Zhang Jian, how could he disappoint Zhang Jian? He invested again in Zhang Jian's spinning mill, which allowed Zhang Jian's spinning mill to grow and develop, and further formed a textile production center centered on Datong Yarn Mill.

It has completely replicated the textile one-stop production center in Anqing Light Industrial Zone, not only spinning, but also weaving, garment factories, etc., including small accessories such as zippers and logistics services.

With ample capital investment, Zhang Jian quickly became a central figure in another light industry hub within a few months. With Zhang Jian's participation, I believe that it will not be a problem to meet the demand for clothing fabrics in Asia. There is no way, the British have now planted cotton on a large scale in India, and no matter how much the output is and what the price is, the two bloody capitalists, Enming and Zhang Jian, did not even pay back the price, and bought them all in one go.

The commissioning of the two major light industrial zones of the Manchu Qing Dynasty covered all of India's cotton, which led to the complete decline of Japan's cotton textile industry. The decline of the Japanese textile industry, Japan's textile machinery is useless, the long-term vision of Zhang Jian spent a lot of effort to go to Japan to buy all these machinery back at a large price, further expanding the strength of the Chase Yarn Factory.

Japan's light industry economy was now completely crushed by the Manchu Qing Dynasty's low labor wage system, except for raw silk and tea.

Hu Xiaoyan looked at the intelligence, and his eyes looked in the direction of the Japanese island through the intelligence. At present, Japan's raw silk industry can still survive, so Japan's heavy industry has not been affected. However, everything is not absolute, and Hu Xiaoyan absolutely will not allow Japan to develop again.

Just as he was thinking about it, Qin Yun pulled his arm with a worried expression. Hu Xiaoyan came back to his senses and saw that one of the Li family's staff members was standing anxiously to the side.

"Li Zhongtang is critically ill!"
