At the door of the Shen family's mansion, Li Weiguo visited again with apprehension.

Unlike usual, this time Shen Wansan did not turn Li Weiguo away, but invited him in.

For Li Weiguo, this is a huge step forward, indicating that Shen Wansan's 10,000-year-old cold heart has finally melted.

In the eyes of outsiders, Li Weiguo, the dignified governor of Liangjiang and a member of the imperial court, actually wanted to see the faces of Shen Wansanjie and ordinary people, which really made people laugh and lose their big teeth.

But Li Weiguo has never been afraid of people's words, he was able to endure being kicked out by his father-in-law back then, and the situation now is much better than then.

"Uncle, please!"

Shen Fuding smiled and helped Li Weiguo guide the way, and Li Weiguo immediately took out a 100 yuan bill and handed it to the other party.

"This-this is too much, the villain doesn't dare to accept it!"

The Shen Mansion was taken aback, he was already happy to get a one-yuan bill on weekdays, but now that a hundred-yuan bill was placed in front of him, he was almost suffocated with excitement.

"Just give it to you! You call me uncle, I'm very happy, I specially reward you! ”

Li Weiguo smiled, he treated Shen Ziyan sincerely, so he loved the house and Wu, he could endure all kinds of facelessness from his father-in-law, and he was naturally generous to the people under the Shen Mansion.

"Thank you, Uncle!" The family took the 100 yuan tremblingly, carefully picked it up, and then continued to Li Weiguo: "Uncle, don't worry, the master has changed his mind!" ”

Li Weiguo nodded, since Shen Wansan allowed him to enter the gate of the Shen family, he must have changed his mind.

"But do you know why the old man suddenly changed his mind?"

"This—"

"What? Could it be that you can't hide something from me? ”

"The villain doesn't dare!"

Jia Ding just received 100 yuan from Li Weiguo, which is equivalent to five years' wages, how dare he hide it from Li Weiguo, he immediately explained: "Don't hide it from my uncle, my lord has a change of heart." It's because your parents came to the door in person a few days ago, and they made a special trip to ask my lord to ask for sin, and when he saw that your parents sincerely asked for sin, he finally forgave them. ”

"I see! No wonder! ”

Li Weiguo was startled at first, then sighed, and finally his parents bowed their heads first and admitted their mistakes. You must know that Li's father and Li mother are also people who want to save face. In addition, his son Li Weiguo has a good reputation, and the official is getting bigger and bigger, and now that the official residence is the governor of Liangjiang, their parents are even more bright, and the face problem is more important.

Now Li's father and mother are willing to come to the door to apologize in person, not because they don't want face, but for their son.

"Pity the hearts of parents all over the world!"

Li Weiguo's heart was hot, and he said very movingly.

"What my uncle said is that I pity the hearts of parents all over the world. My lord has also seen it over the years, and for the sake of Miss's lifelong happiness, my lord has not embarrassed Mr. Li and Mrs. Li. ”

Li Weiguo nodded, this result is acceptable to him, otherwise if his parents are wronged, then he will not be able to go.

In the living room, Li Weiguo saw Shen Wansan.

Compared with previous years, Shen Wansan is obviously much older. There are quite a few gray hairs.

"Son-in-law, please say hello to my father-in-law!" Li Weiguo honestly greeted the elders and secretly glanced at Shen Wansan. Seeing that he didn't mean to get angry, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and was happy in his heart, sure enough, there was a door.

Shen Wansan looked at Li Weiguo, and it took him a long time to let Li Weiguo sit down, and at the same time asked, "You tell me honestly." Have you ever had sex with Ziyan? ”

Li Weiguo smiled bitterly: "I have never had the same room." ”

Shen Wansan suddenly slapped the table and shouted angrily: "Bastard! Since you have already accepted Ziyan as a side blessing, why don't you have sex with her and let my daughter stay alive and widowed, what kind of heart do you have? ”

This old man is so unreasonable!

Li Weiguo grinds his teeth. But he had to reply patiently: "Don't hide it from your father-in-law, although the son-in-law reported to the court to canonize Zi Yan as a side blessing, but you never agreed!" Zi Yan is also a filial daughter, if you don't attend her wedding, Zi Yan will be sad, the son-in-law really hopes that Zi Yan will happily marry me, and give her a legitimate wedding. ”

After listening to Li Weiguo's explanation, Shen Wansan's face suddenly improved a lot, and he nodded and said, "You kid is still honest!" It's just that I, Shen Wansan, am such a daughter, and I was deceived by you, but I want to be your little wife, and I'm so angry! ”

Li Weiguo hurriedly defended: "Father-in-law, rest assured, the son-in-law never treats Zi Yan as a little wife, whether it is Shanxiang or Zi Yan, the two of them are both wives in the hearts of the little son-in-law, there is no difference!" ”

Shen Wansan snorted coldly: "What about that Su Yuniang (Su Sanniang)? ”

Li Weiguo explained: "It's the same with Yu Niang, the three of them are all wives, and they are all my Li Weiguo's women, regardless of identity!" ”

Shen Wansan hurriedly said: "I can ignore Fu Shanxiang's affairs!" But how can Su Yuniang compare with my daughter Zi Yan, the old man can accept Fu Shanxiang and Zi Yan as both wives, but Su Yuniang can't, she can only be a concubine! ”

Li Weiguo frowned suddenly, and said with a straight face: "Father-in-law, I still say the same thing, Shanxiang, Ziyan and Yu Niang are all wives, no matter how big or small, I treat them equally." Shanxiang and Ziyan are sincere to me, how could Yu Niang not, if it wasn't for her sacrificing her life to save me in the first battle of Yuhuatai back then, now Shanxiang and Ziyan are widows! ”

Shen Wansan suddenly snorted coldly, and whispered: It would be good if you were really dead back then!

Li Weiguo's ears were sharp, and when he heard it, he immediately rolled his eyes in anger.

One old and one young, neither of them gave in, and the atmosphere was deadlocked again.

At this time, the housekeeper who saw that the situation was not good whispered in Shen Wansan's ear: "Master, our young lady is twenty years old this year, you can't bear to let the young lady be a living widow again." I heard that Fu Shanxiang is already pregnant, and if it drags on like this, the young lady will have no status in her husband's family in the future. ”

Shen Wansan was suddenly excited, this was the key reason for his softness, thinking that Fu Shanxiang was pregnant, and his daughter had not yet completed the house, this was already delaying his daughter's happiness, and if he delayed it again, he would really ruin his daughter's life.

"That's it, the old man owes you in the previous life! You go back and choose a day to marry Ziyan! ”

Shen Wansan compromised, as if he was a little older again.

Li Weiguo asked, "Then is my father-in-law going?" ”

"Fart! The old man's daughter is married, how can the old man not go? Shen Wansan immediately scolded.

"Father-in-law, calm your anger!" Li Weiguo smiled bitterly, this is purely looking for scolding. But in my heart, I thought, "Hmph. But this time, after marrying Zi Yan, if you want to dare to give Lao Tzu a look, Lao Tzu will not agree. ”

Happily leaving the Shen Mansion, Li Weiguo went back to Yuyuan directly and told his parents and three wives about it.

Parents have known about this result for a long time. So not surprised.

Fu Shanxiang, as a great fortune, is now pregnant with Liujia, and has already slept in a separate room with Li Weiguo, and has always felt guilty because he can't serve his husband by his side, so he is the most active person who matches Li Weiguo and Shen Ziyan to have a round room.

Of course, Fu Shanxiang also persuaded Su Sanniang, but Su Sanniang has been lukewarm and doesn't know what to think again.

Knowing that her father finally agreed, Shen Ziyan cried with joy.

"Alright. What to cry about, you should be happy! ”

Li Weiguo comforted Shen Ziyan, he was finally going to have a house with his second wife, and he had been waiting for this day for five or six years, which was really not easy.

Shen Ziyan stopped crying and said with a smile: "That's right, you should be happy!" Her father finally agreed, so that Zi Yan could marry her husband with peace of mind. Thank you, husband, for waiting for Ziyan for so long! ”

Li Weiguo smiled slightly, and suddenly said arrogantly: "This is nothing. For me, only Zi Yan's marriage to me without regrets is the most important! ”

Shen Ziyan suddenly smiled sweetly and said softly: "Husband, you are so good!" ”

Li Weiguo and Shen Ziyan are tired of being together, making the people around them become light bulbs.

Soon someone couldn't stand it and said, "Okay, you two want to go back to the house, what kind of system will you make in the public?" ”

As soon as I heard this voice, it was Su Sanniang's. Li Weiguo was immediately happy, turned to Su Sanniang and said, "Yu Niang is jealous, it doesn't matter, don't worry!" After the husband and Ziyan have done the happy event, I will come to you! ”

Su Sanniang was suddenly ashamed and angry. glared at Li Weiguo fiercely.

However, Li Weiguo could see that Su Sanniang was jealous, because her eyes were completely amorous.

The wedding date of Li Weiguo and Shen Ziyan has been set, and it will be held on the third day of the next lunar month, in accordance with the standard procedures of three books and six appointments.

Shen Ziyan finally allowed her Shen family, she went back to get married, and Li Weiguo could not see her again until the day of marriage.

After waiting for this day for five or six years, Li Weiguo suddenly felt restless.

For Li Weiguo, this is not the first time he has visited the church to get married, as early as when he was eight years old, he had married Fu Shanxiang once, but there was no impression at that time, this time it was Li Weiguo's first time to visit the church and get married, so he was nervous.

In later generations, this was called premarital agitation, but Li Weiguo quickly found a solution.

The H.I.E.L.D. agent agency recently got good news, which made Li Weiguo so excited that he even forgot about his delicate daughter-in-law.

The intelligence stations of the S.H.I.E.L.D. in Europe and the United States have made gains, and they have tried to hire professional scientists from all walks of life in Europe and the United States to come to Shanghai on Li Weiguo's orders, but most of the Europeans and Americans disdain it and refuse the invitation. So they were kidnapped by S.H.I.E.L.D. one after another and secretly escorted back to Shanghai.

At first, these European and American experts and scientists were very angry and refused to do anything for Li Weiguo. But soon they tasted the bitter fruit and sweetness, the bitter fruit was starvation, beating, and torture, and some experts and scientists chose to give in and began to do things for Li Weiguo. Some experts and scientists do not particularly care about who they are working for, they are pure scientific researchers, and they only care about the results of scientific research and the conditions of scientific research. Li Weiguo was able to do this, and he gave these scientific researchers very generous treatment and scientific research conditions, and spared no expense to build laboratories for them and provide them with experimental funds. In the end, there are some people who are very rigid, they think that Li Weiguo needs them and are not afraid, but soon they are punished, they will be imprisoned in a special prison forever, and Li Weiguo has time to spend with them.

Li Weiguo set up a special Academy of Sciences to centralize the management of these European and American scientists, and focused on some professional scientific experiments with strong practicality.

One of the happiest things for Li Weiguo was that he discovered the three originators of the telegraph industry, namely the British scientists Cook and Wheatstone, and the American scientist Morse.

Among them, Cook made an electromagnetic telegraph in 1836 and applied for the first telegraph patent the following year. Wheatstone was Cook's collaborator.

The most powerful is Morse, he developed a prototype of the electromagnetic telegraph in 1835, and then according to the current, the electric spark and no electric spark when the current is broken, three years later invented the "Morse code" composed of dots and strokes, and then Morse received strong support from Li Weiguo in Shanghai, and with sufficient funds he quickly perfected the high-speed automatic transceiver.

On June 3, 1859, Li Weiguo set up a newspaper bureau in Shanghai, and the high-speed automatic transceiver designed by Morse was used for the first time. This kind of transceiver has a special drilling machine, first on the paper tape to chisel out the corresponding round hole with the message characters, and then this kind of drilled paper tape on the Morse code automatic transmitter to send, the receiving bureau uses the corrugated receiver to record the dotted code on the paper tape, and its notification rate is about 20 times faster than that of the European and American manual transmission.

At this moment, the telegraph industry in Europe and the United States has just emerged, and the three originators of the European and American telegraph industry have all been brought to Shanghai by Li Weiguo, which makes Shanghai's telegraph also be able to walk ahead of Europe and the United States and be in a leading position.

However, Li Weiguo was not complacent, at this time, European and American countries had realized the convenience, speed and huge military use of the telegraph, and the European and American powers began to vigorously build the telegraph industry, so Li Weiguo was not far behind, and invested huge sums of money to build a telegraph system.

The General Telegraph Office will be set up in Shanghai, and telegraph sub-bureaus will be set up in the provincial capitals and prefectures of Jiangnan Province and Zhejiang Province, and telegraph lines will also be laid in all garrisons and fortresses of the Shanghai Army, and this is the most priority construction project.

According to Li Weiguo's request, military priority was given, and before the British and French troops arrived in China, the military's telegraph lines had to be erected, and the training of the messengers and receivers was put on the agenda, and the telegraph office was also put up and running before the enemy arrived.

Once the telegraph office is put into operation, it will undoubtedly be a huge boost to the intelligence command of the Shanghai army. When Li Weiguo is in Shanghai, he will be able to quickly know the first news from various places, and militarily the intelligence will determine the victory or defeat of the war in a second, and with the telegram, Li Weiguo will be more confident in dealing with the invasion of the British and French forces.

However, it was not easy to erect telegraph lines in this era, but fortunately, Li Weiguo was not short of money, and the funds recently looted from Shanyang County amounted to 20 million taels of silver, which just made up for this financial hole.

Under the premise of abundant funds, the Shanghai army dispatched nearly 100,000 troops and workers to fully guarantee the erection of telegraph lines. (To be continued......)
