Unlike Mashali, Bourblon is more concerned about the domestic economy.

In his opinion, his domestic economic development has been quite strong recently, and if this state of affairs continues, he can replace the British as the steel giants in Europe and the world this year. Having received the first "aid" of weapons from the Celestial Empire government, in accordance with the emperor's wishes, the country was now more enthusiastic about the secret study and imitation of the weapons obtained. To be honest, no smart country would call the army that decides the fate of its own country, but it is holding weapons bought from others.

It's a pity that it doesn't seem difficult to make the same gun, but what stumped the "gods" of all walks of life in China was the inconspicuous guns and shells at the beginning. No way, you have to buy it, at least for now.

The rare meeting of Commissioner Lin on this occasion was not as patient as it had been in the past, but he was indignant as soon as he met. The Lin commissioner barely bothered to listen to the explanations that Burbulon had prepared in advance.

"As an ally, you unilaterally made the decision to start secret negotiations with the Russians without consulting us, which is a ruthless trampling on our alliance of cooperation in two matters. As a result of your wrong decision, the Russians were able to continuously increase their troops to the north of our country, injected a shot of strength into the puppet Manchurians, and added more resistance to our upcoming Northern Expedition. Lin Haifeng's face was very ugly, "Mr. Bourblon, as you have seen, in order for your country to gain a greater advantage in the war with the Russians, we have given selfless support to your country in terms of weapons, medicine, strategic intelligence and other aspects, regardless of our own urgent needs. Although the first batch was only two regiments of equipment, how powerful would these weapons be if they were equipped in the hands of our Red Army? Now, because of them, the valiant soldiers of our Red Army will pay with blood......"

Lin Haifeng then stood in a private point of view, like an old lady who likes to turn over the small intestines, endlessly tossing out all the old sesame seeds and rotten grains between him and Bourbulon, saying that Bourbulon was silent, and Bourbulon was embarrassed.

"To be honest, I'm a person who likes to be honest in everything I do, and that's why I've become friends with you. Wouldn't it be better for the sake of the friendship between me and you that I would not bother to deal with your country, but to make my country strong and let the people live in comfort? And why go outside to stir up trouble. ”

Bourblon was really a little ashamed now, and it wasn't just that he was ashamed.

Since he made friends with this committee member Lin, he has brought unprecedented benefits to his country, and what he has brought to himself is a voice of praise from the domestic political and business circles. He seemed to have seen the prophecy that the meeting councillor had given him a few years earlier, and he was about to become a French hero.

Moreover, not long ago, there was already private news that His Majesty the Emperor intended to transfer him back to China at the appropriate time, what does that mean? Self-explanatory. And who gave this qiē? It was precisely this old friend of the East who gave it to him for nothing. However, friendship is friendship, and it can never replace the highest interests of the country, after all, he is not the emperor, but can only turn around in the circle demarcated by His Majesty the emperor.

"Yes, sometimes personal feelings may not be a substitute for national interests." Lin Haifeng said what he wanted to say for Bourblon, and when he said this, he shook his head, "It seems that I should also reflect and reflect." ”

"Your Excellency, that's not what you meant." Burblon blushed, "Our Emperor is friendly with your country, and this peace negotiation is mainly due to the treachery of the British, who secretly colluded with the Russians......"

"Forget it, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and we don't ask you anything more." Lin Haifeng waved his hand, "Since the peace talks have begun, then you can continue to talk about yours." ”

"Your Excellency......" Bourblon was a little nervous.

"Nothing, with our own strength, we can destroy any enemy who dares to stand in our way." Lin Haifeng smiled lightly, "You don't have to worry, I said it all before, but we Chinese have always been worthy of friends, and we can do it." ”

"I ......" Bourblon's heart was a little more steady, and he wanted to say a few words of gratitude, at least from a personal point of view, which he felt he ought to do.

Lin Haifeng waved his hand again, blocking his next words, "We will provide ammunition to your country as much as possible, but the second batch of weapons, especially artillery, will not have to wait until the end of the year, or the beginning of next year." In addition, the Government of the Celestial Empire, after careful study, has agreed to your request to provide your country with brigade equipment every year in the future. Of course, when there is peace in our country, the amount that can be provided will naturally increase. From the beginning of the Opium War with the British to the present, our country has been suffering for more than ten years, and it is time to take a breath. ”

As he spoke, he leaned on the back of the chair, picked up the tea beside him, and sighed, "Come, you can drink it too, hehe, it's a little cold, this is the famous Pu'er eight-color tribute tea in Yunnan, which was given to me by our Red Army soldiers, and it is also the royal thing of the puppet Manchu court." It's a pity, now that they want to drink this kind of good tea, I'm afraid it will take a little effort. However, no matter how good this tea is, it is a waste to me, I don't know how to drink tea, I can't distinguish a good one, and I spoil such a good thing. ”

When it comes to tea tasting, although Bourblon is a Frenchman, he is much stronger than Lin Haifeng in this regard. Maybe it's because he's been in China for a long time, maybe he's dealing with Chinese more, maybe there's some other reason why he gave up the coffee he liked to drink for many years and should drink Chinese tea.

"Oh, that's great! I have been in your country for so long, and it is the first time I have tasted such a good tea, and compared to the West Lake Longjing in Hangzhou, it has a different fragrance. "Burblon is not meant to be flattering.

"Hehe, since you like it, then I'll bring you the tea they sent when I leave." Seeing that Burbulon began to be happy, Lin Haifeng began to talk about the tea scriptures, "This Pu'er eight-color tribute tea has a history, it has five catties, three catties, one catty of heavy group tea, as well as four taels, one or two five dollars of group tea, in addition, there are bottled bud tea, tea stamen, and box of tea paste, a total of eight colors, therefore, in our history called "eight colors" tribute tea. Only this kind of tea, the puppet Manchu court a year to ask the local tribute of the amount of 66,666 catties, we China like to call it 66 Shun, the puppet Manchurian is also obsessed with the great Shun. The process of making it is extremely complex, the raw tea leaves are fried in a pot, then dried in the sun, then steamed again to allow the water to penetrate into the tea leaves, and left for three years to ferment to produce a special aromatic taste. Some have a longer storage period. ”

Bourblon savored the tea in the cup while listening carefully to Lin Haifeng's narration of the tea.

"If you like to drink tea, you know all the benefits of tea for the human body. To elaborate, the tea polyphenols contained in tea have strong antioxidant and physiological activity, and are scavengers of free radicals in the human body. The high content of cholesterol and triglycerides in the human body can easily cause fat deposition on the inner wall of blood vessels, and cardiovascular diseases such as atheromorphic plaques will be formed after the proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells. Tea polyphenols, especially catechins in tea polyphenols and their oxidation products theaflavins, help to inhibit this plaque hyperplasia, reduce the formation of fibrinogen with enhanced blood coagulation viscosity, and clear blood coagulation, thereby inhibiting atherosclerosis. When Lin Haifeng said this, he laughed hehehe, "I'm not Lao Wang selling melons and boasting about himself." I tell you a secret, because drinking Pu'er tea from Yunnan can reduce triglycerides and cholesterol in the human body, in addition to the medical effect, it also has a special function, which is to lose weight. The women of your country, especially the young women, are very particular about physical beauty, and if each person drinks three cups of our Pu'er tea every day for a month or two, the effect will be obvious. ”

Bourblon took the teacup in his hand, looked at the tea in it carefully, sniffed it vigorously, and then looked at Lin Haifeng, "Oh, with your introduction, I'm not afraid that there will be no career to do in the future." ”

Seeing that Lin Haifeng seemed to be a little strange, Burbulon laughed, "With these teas, I can go to open a clinic." I just don't know, hehe, dear Your Excellency Commissioner Lin, a thin person like me, once he is addicted to this tea that can lose weight, will he also get thinner and thinner? ”

Lin Haifeng was amused by him and laughed, "If you are addicted to drinking, it just helps your digestive function, not only will you not lose weight, but you will also gain weight." ”

"Haha, then I can become the first miracle doctor in France, fat and thin people come together, I am an all-rounder."

Between talking and laughing, Lin Haifeng did something that had a heavy meaning for the future.

Sure enough, Bourblon sent the Pu'er eight-colored tribute tea back to France and gave it to the royal family. It is said that the Empress of France, who was indeed a little obese, tried it herself, and the effect was peculiar as Lin said, and she praised China's "divine tea" for this reason, and the "divine tea" began to become popular among the French aristocracy for a while, and then spread to the people. Later, with the increasing trade of people and goods between China and France, the French gradually forgot the taste of coffee. "Divine tea" has also become the object of competition for many scholars and doctors, who argue from all aspects, why is China's "divine tea" so godly?

Lin Haifeng held a small family banquet for Bourblon at home.

After the banquet, Bourblon went to meet with Yang Xiuqing, chairman of the Supreme Revolutionary Command Committee of the Celestial Empire, and during the conversation, Yang Xiuqing very solemnly asked Bourblon to tell his government that it was okay to negotiate with the Russians slowly, but if the French troops withdrew from the Near East by the end of this year, the Celestial Government would consider whether it should revoke the friendship agreement with the French government.
