"Oops, why are you so careless, it's not hot......" Lin Haifeng jumped up, first took his own hand towel from the basin stand, and then ignored Aliguo's hurried repeated pushing, personally helped Aliguo clean up the soaked tea stains on his body, and then poured a new cup of tea and put it in Aliguo's hand.

"I'm really sorry to make your Excellency laugh," Ali Guo's embarrassment this time was a little heartfelt, "I'...... Xu Youjing came here in a hurry, hehe...... Hehe...... Some of them are due to fatigue. ”

"It's not good, you can't be too aggrieved by your body, you still have to pay more attention in the future," you guy, you really talk nonsense to me with your eyes open. After coming to Beijing from Tianjing, your kid has been raising his uncle in the city for several days, and he can't solve any lack of anything. However, Lin Haifeng was amused in his heart, but his face was extremely concerned, and he comforted Ali Guo in a gentle voice, "I often tell the soldiers around me that the body is the capital of the revolution, and it is not enough to just think about it and do it without protecting your body." ”

"Hehe, I can always hear him compliment Your Excellency on your wisdom, and every word of Your Excellency is actually full of philosophy and makes people stunned," Ali Guo followed Lin Haifeng's train of thought, and lost no time in starting to make a big slap again. I really can't slap this difficult Director Lin out in a few clicks, so as not to mention those things that make him frightened.

Lin Haifeng was so dizzy, and after a few gossips, he quickly pulled the topic back, "I'm forgetful, I never hold grudges against anyone, and there is one of the biggest problems, that is, I pay too much attention to friendship, I like to help this and help that." Therefore, it will inevitably cause some people to be dissatisfied. Doing Bourblon a favor, someone in Tianjing said behind my back that I must have received a benefit from the French, and even that Marshali said that I had taken a commission from the French. I'm at a loss for words. You may not know that the matter of the thirty wrecked ships is not that I deliberately made it difficult for you on a whim, but that our high command strictly ordered me to properly handle this matter. You also know that our navy is newly built and has a thin foundation, but no matter how thin the family foundation is, we will not worry about these shoddy things. ”

Speaking of this, Lin Haifeng looked at Ali Guo with a helpless gaze for a while. Ali Guo is seen as if he is sitting on pins and needles, he wants to speak, he can't speak, he wants to say, he doesn't know how to do, he can't hide.

"The two of us are talking privately now, you have been in China for a long time, and you also understand that our people here just have a stinky problem of losing face. Tossing and Turning Since you opened the door to Guangzhou twelve years ago, until the Qing Dynasty completely collapsed, the most memory left to the people here is the shameful treaties one by one. If you think about it, there are too many things to be afraid of, there are so many embarrassing things, and things that can save face for yourself have become rare. It's all to blame on that Yixin, why do you have to tell Tianjing about this matter when you're idle? And then you have done things really badly, this kind of thing that can only be done in the dark, why are you still doing such a lot of secrecy work? Especially when the rumor about your conspiracy to intervene in Tibet comes again, it's good now, people who have been holding back their belly of bird anger have finally seized such an opportunity to be angry, and their eyes are not all round? But as a result, it turned out that it wasn't my luck. ”

The more Lin Haifeng spoke, the more angry he became, and in the end, he was so angry that he threw the pipe that had just been filled with tobacco in his hand onto the small tea table next to him, and he didn't smoke anymore. After snorting and panting for a while, he looked at Ali Guo, who was sweating profusely and drooping his head, and spread his hands, "You don't know, when my disarmament plan was reported to Tianjing, the resistance was great. In particular, Shi Dakai was the first to jump to oppose it, and under his uproar, most of the generals in our Red Army stood on the opposite side of me. They even threatened that if the dispute over the purchase of ships could not be resolved through negotiation, they would take advantage of the fact that the Gork and Samba people were not sick and were looking for a disease, and concentrate more than a dozen troops to fight the Himalayan passes, and whoever dared to meddle and sweep away whom. Tell me, you talk about it, is it okay not to disarm? If they continue to toss like this, they will dare to wrap themselves in your East India Company one day, and then we will not do anything, and throw a lot of gold and silver into the fire pit of war every day. ”

Speaking of this, Lin Haifeng seemed to suddenly remember something, and slapped his head at Ali Guo, "By the way, I forgot to tell you, just the night before yesterday, I don't know who leaked the disarmament plan in advance, and these generals I recruited back actually blew up the temple at once, and they scolded all the time." If I hadn't arranged all the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs in advance during the meeting, I would have been able to deter them. Damn, believe it or not, some of those guys really dare to play with Lao Tzu. These people are all people I picked up, and others are still shouting behind my back to camp my Lin family army in the north, but who knows my hardship. Alas, it's hard to do something good! Fortunately, I have a close personal relationship with Chairman Yang, and although Chairman Yang is also a little dissatisfied with me, he must always take care of my face, otherwise he will ......."

Lin Haifeng shook his head and sighed again, as if he had a stomach full of bitter water to pour in front of Ali Guo. But when he saw Ali Guo waiting more and more intently to listen to his words, he suddenly stopped talking, and after being stunned for a while, he looked at Ah Li Guo a little confused and asked, "Look at it, I was really confused by them, and I digressed again." Ay...... Where did we just come from? ”

"You just mentioned that your navy is newly built, and your family foundation is thin, but no matter how thin your family background is, you won't worry about these shoddy things, but some people want to take this rare opportunity to save some face," Ali Guo has an absolutely good memory, and replied casually. It's just that after answering, he can't help but regret it.

"Yes, that's right, just now I said that no one wants those broken ships at all," Lin Haifeng patted his head, as if he had just remembered it again, "But if no one wants it, it's another matter if you can get it back or not." Do you think it's hard for me? ”

Difficult! Ali Guo snorted angrily in his heart, but you are difficult, I am more difficult than you.

"I can help you talk about Tongtianjing, it's useless for anyone to object. If you really can't, I can also order the Ministry of Internal Affairs under my charge to cooperate with you," Lin Haifeng's gaze first looked at the door, and then turned back to Ali Guo's body, "But you also have to help me." ”

Ali Guo understood that he had reached a critical stage of substance, and he began to wait quietly and intently for this Director Lin to lift the lid of the gourd behind his buttocks to see what kind of medicine was inside.

"Those broken ships must be towed to Tianjin," Lin Haifeng said in a low voice, "Of course, you can't be made to suffer too much, forget about the cannons on the ship, you can dismantle and sell whoever you like, roughly calculated, it is also a small 2,000 cannons, which is worth a lot of money." When the time comes, I will say that the ship is not equipped with guns in the first place. In addition......"

Ali Guo is going crazy. God, you still say that we are the same as those who block the road, and you are not more robber than robbery! In addition, there is another eagle (he heard Lin Haifeng say something about a bird earlier, thinking that the eagle is bigger than the bird, so it can be more prominent......

Lin Haifeng still looked at Ali Guo seriously, "Besides, I have done you such a great favor, you can't bear to be like Burbulon and not repay me at all, right?" ”

Ali Guo was so angry that he wanted to go crazy at the same time, but he also wanted to cry.

Looking at Ali Guo crying like crying, and laughing like a laughing Coke, Lin Haifeng pretended to be stupid, "Look at it, I've always said that the British are gentlemen, reasonable, and understanding, much better than the fucking French, I just like to work with people like you." I have calculated that this time I can save you at least more than two million taels of silver, and it is even more difficult to calculate the income that you can bring to trade in the future. You also know that as far as Tianjing, our Heavenly King and other old men of the Celestial Empire are concerned, I am still a newcomer, and in order to save expenses for the Celestial Empire, I proposed to cancel the special treatment of the original princes and princes, and only give appropriate support expenses. After doing this, in fact, it was me and my good brother King Ning who were unlucky, and in the end, the two of us ended up empty-handed. To tell you the truth, after attending the dinner party held by Mashali for the first time in Shanghai, I wanted to take my wife to the Chenghuang Temple for snacks but had no money, and it was my wife who pawned the jade bracelet given to her by Tianwang Niang to relieve my crisis. So ......"

Ali Guo was not very angry this time, government officials opened their mouths to ask for bribes, not only in this land, but in any corner of the world, it is extremely normal, and it is abnormal that no one asks for bribes.

"I'm not a lions good at opening my mouth, especially with friends. In this way, I helped you save more than 2 million, let's add 21 to 5, come on, I'll just be more generous, I will have a whole thing, and the rest will be yours. Look at it, it's good to do it both public and private, hahaha......"

Is a million taels of silver too much? In Lin Haifeng's cheerful laughter, Ali Guo was struggling in his heart. If you think about it purely from the perspective of being able to open the door of a country with one million taels of silver, it is really not much, and it is even cheaper than using guns and guns. But if you think about it from a different angle, Ali Guo can't accept it anyway. Because there are also those so-called shoddy warships involved, and it is also about the noble face of the British Empire. But if you go back to another level and think about it more deeply, Ali Guo feels that this is inevitably not a good thing.

How did that Qing Dynasty collapse? Ali Guo is not confused in his heart, the Qing Dynasty is because there are too many people who want to be greedy and dare to be greedy. In order to show that they were better than the Qing Dynasty, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom government made a sensational appearance of being incorruptible, shouting everywhere that they wanted to "serve the people", but in fact, it was nothing more than that. For such a despicable and ferocious enemy as the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, it is of course a pleasure to be able to eliminate them directly from the ** as much as possible, but it is not the only way to solve this road by force. At this time, a sentence that came out of the ancestor of this ancient eastern country came out of Ali's mind, "Attack the heart is the top, and the city is the bottom." In fact, their ancestors had long prepared the surest path for the British Empire to destroy themselves, and to do what they liked, to adopt a peaceful way, to slowly rectify them from the heart, without a single shot, sooner or later, they would let themselves destroy themselves. "No matter how strong a fortress is, it is afraid of being breached from the inside", "The power of sugar-coated cannonballs is sometimes far more lethal than real cannonballs", as for which philosopher these two words originated, Ali Guo did not remember for a while.

Of course, there is another point, after all, Lin Haifeng is too important to him now, especially Lin Haifeng's words "It's really not good, I can also order the Ministry of Internal Affairs I am in charge of to cooperate with you", which is even more attractive to him. Isn't the reason why the Americans did so much business with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom government last year because they went through the door of the Ministry of Internal Affairs here? Just when Ali Guo was thinking about how to persuade his queen and the government cabinet in the future, and was not sure how to respond to Lin Haifeng now, Lin Haifeng spoke again.
