"Hahaha......" Lin Haifeng smiled, he looked at Liu Mingyuan, and then looked at Zeng Guofan, Zuo Zongtang, Yixin and others, and his eyes were clearly asking, how is Liu Mingyuan's mention?
It used to be the comings and goings of officials bowing their heads and bowing their waists, not only the royal prestige, but also the Forbidden City, which is more or less alive, but now the red walls and yellow tiles are still the same, but more of a dead silence.
Under the guidance of Yixin, Lin Haifeng and his entourage came to the white marble Jinshui Bridge along the thousand-step corridor.
"Director Lin......" Yixin looked at Lin Haifeng, who stopped and looked up at the ** city tower, as if he was thinking about something, "Should you move the camp here?" ”
"Oh?" Lin Haifeng turned his head to look at Yixin, and did not answer him directly, but walked unhurriedly, and asked, "Is there a bit of an eyebrow on the work arrangements that have been relocated from all sides?" ”
"Basically, we already have a rough plan," Yixin nodded, "Deputy Director Seng Lingqin will soon set off to persuade the various tribes of Mongolia to accept the jurisdiction of the Celestial Empire government, and I consider that the princes of several Mongolian families still have some friendship with me, so I also plan to go with him." In addition, Commander Chen Yucheng has already broken Tsarist Russia in Liaodong, and the reception of the entire Northeast is imminent. So, due to the rush of time, the details of the migration may still be somewhat crude. But it's okay, just ask Duanhua to talk while doing it. In short, the royal family in the city moved first, and the first one to vacate was this palace. In recent days, except for those who temporarily do daily care and cleaning, most of the eunuchs and palace ladies have been dismissed and returned to their hometowns. If you still don't accept my invitation today, I'm afraid that if you want to taste the complete palace imperial food craftsmanship in the future, it won't be so convenient. ”
"Hehe, Director Yi's efficiency is still very high, and he thinks about the problem comprehensively, don't be too harsh and stingy with the dismissed palace personnel, many of them have been working here for a long time, and it is difficult to adapt to the normal life outside when they go out, so they should give as much severance as possible. If there is a problem in terms of financial resources, the Military Management Committee can raise it as much as possible, and I will ask the Celestial Empire government to give it strong support," Lin Haifeng looked at Yixin with appreciation and encouragement, and Orr asked again, "What does Director Yi plan to do with the property in the palace?" ”
"This ......" Yixin looked back at Zeng Guofan behind him, then thought for a while, looked at Lin Haifeng and replied, "A few days ago, Zaiyuan and Senator Zeng had already registered all the treasures and antiques in the palace one by one. I've had a private discussion with Senator Zeng, but in fact, ...... In fact, if you think about it carefully, what Zeng Senate said is reasonable. None of these things belonged to the royal family in the first place, but they were all the result of extortion and plundering everywhere. So...... Therefore, I intend to return these things to the Celestial Empire government in equal measure. ”
"Yes, it's the right thing to do," Lin Haifeng nodded, "Not only the palace, but also the princes and nobles of the various families, it should also be clearly announced." I heard Mingyuan say that recently, there have always been people trying to carry a large number of treasures out of the city, which is very bad. The reason why the brigade guards were instructed to guard the nine gates was actually very simple, that is, they should not be allowed to treat the looted treasures as their personal property and dispose of them arbitrarily, let alone scatter those historical relics that are likely to be non-renewable, which are all the blood and sweat of the people. ”
Yixin blushed a little, "What Director Lin said is that Commander Liu also told us about these things that happened, and we already have some countermeasures to deal with them. First, the other pawnshops and jewelry shops in the city will be temporarily closed, and Angel Firm will be responsible for all kinds of pawns and purchases. ”
"Also," Duanhua followed with two steps, and said angrily, "During the relocation, you are not allowed to go out of the city without special permission from the Military Management Commission. I don't think any of them would dare to drop their eggs. ”
"Hehe, Director Duanhua is a little too ......" Lin Haifeng smiled slightly, looking at Duanhua and Yixin, "However, there are always some special techniques in special periods." Alas...... After all, this inner city is full of folks of your clan, and it's really hard for you. ”
"More than half of the people in this city are lice who eat and drink and don't love their masters, if it weren't for them scum, the Qing Dynasty wouldn't be ......" As soon as he said this, Duanhua glanced at Lin Haifeng, quickly covered his mouth and smiled, "Director Lin, I mean...... Actually......"
Lin Haifeng laughed, "Don't have any scruples, what you said is actually good." If it weren't for the help of these grandfathers who only carried bird cages, smoked big cigarettes, and visited kilns, our revolution would have taken some time. It's good, it's good. But we're all in their footsteps. ”
"No, never!" Zeng Guofan shook his head behind him, "With you Director Lin here, there will never be this day." ”
"Look, you've been in the Senate and you're holding me so high, hehe, aren't you afraid of hurting me all of a sudden?" Lin Haifeng looked back at Zeng Guofan, smiled and shook his head, "What can I do alone." If we want our Celestial Empire to be permanent, what we need is the strength of everyone. ”
After speaking, Lin Haifeng glanced at Yixin, stopped and pointed to the huge noon gate in front of him, and pulled the conversation back to the beginning, "It's like here, many people probably dream of sitting on the throne inside." Just now, Director Yi also advised me to stay here, but I won't come. ”
He looked back at the officials behind him and continued, "Do you know why you have to move the people of this inner city? One is that it has become a symbol of occupation and power by the introducers. On the land of China, a special area where Chinese are not allowed to live has been demarcated, which is a shame for the people of the All-Heaven Dynasty. Second, our revolution is not only for the independence of the nation, but also shoulders the historical mission of fighting the imperial power and returning the people to a world of democracy and freedom. Not only the Forbidden City, but also the entire inner city will be preserved as a symbol of the imperial power that brutally enslaved the people. Those places with beautiful scenery should be completely open to the people, so that everyone can relax and have fun freely, and always remember the tragic and humiliating history of the past. ”
Lin Haifeng walked to the spacious gate of the noon gate, returned the salute to the guards who were saluting him, patted one of them on the shoulder cordially, and then stroked the red wall with his hand, looked at Yixin and the others who followed and said affectionately, "You know, this place was once full of the bitterness of our ancestors for many generations!" With the process of national recovery, the capital of the Celestial Empire will be moved to Beijing in the near future. If you want to set up a huge government agency in the inner city, the whole city pattern will slowly and unknowingly be destroyed. Wait until that time to regret it, it's too late for anything. ”
The country has to move to Beijing, so where can you go if you don't go into the inner city? Not only Yixin, Zaiyuan and others, but also Zuo Zongtang and Zeng Guofan were also confused. Is it located in the outer city? It's all small doors like dogkens for small people, not to mention magnificent, I'm afraid there is no place to place them.
They didn't understand, but Lin Haifeng already knew it in his heart. Today's turn of events has made him, the "old Beijing" more than 100 years later, feel an indescribable joy in his heart. It turns out that the city of Beijing is so classical, so elegant, it is simply a huge garden. Along the way, he had already secretly determined that no matter what, he would keep this classic city forever, and in many years, this would be a living fossil that symbolized the incomparable wisdom of the Chinese nation, and she would be more precious than anything else.
Lin Haifeng still vaguely remembers that in his time, when the whole country was liberated, when it had been decided to set up the capital in Beijing, there was a suggestion that the state organs should be concentrated in Fengtai to avoid the potential damage that would be brought to the city of Beijing due to the arrival of huge government agencies. It is a pity that the country did not do this in the end, so that more than 100 years later, the city of Beijing is far less beautiful and has more Chinese cultural heritage than what he sees now.
It is necessary to leave a classic of Chinese national culture to the world. Since this is the case, new facilities will have to be built to cope with the relocation of the capital. So, who should be approached for this expenditure?
Of course, we should no longer "cause trouble" to Chairman Yang. In view of the French minister Bourblon receiving one after another the kind invitations of his emperor Napoleon III, Lin Haifeng had already decided that in a few months, he would go to France with a delegation, which was actually a huge "tattered purchasing group", and the money needed at that time was estimated to give Chairman Yang a headache for several days.
Alas, let's move our own "little coffers".
Outside the Zhengyang Gate, the Yufeng Lou Shabu Meat Shop under Angel Commercial Bank at the east entrance of Dashilar used to be quite popular, and the princes and nobles, officials and all kinds of people in the inner city were simply the front foot and the back foot of you coming and going.
Because of its elegant buildings facing north and south, and located in the south of the imperial city, many merchants from near and far who rely on Angel to make a fortune not only often come to cheer, but also because every time after eating a delicious and exquisite mutton hot pot, there will always be good business coming to the door, so the merchants prefer to call this place "Nanlai Shun". Slowly, "Nanlai Shun" became the trumpet of Yufeng Building.
But after a few days of war in the capital, Yufenglou's business has gradually become a little cold. Except for some old customers from the merchants, the former Manchurian nobles and Manchu officials are no longer to be seen.
It's already noon, and in the past, guests would have to beat their chests for being one step late and running out of seats, but now, the scattered guests are not even full of the scattered seats downstairs, let alone the dozen or so private seats upstairs.
In a situation like this, if it was just a day or two, it would be bearable, but now that more than a month has passed, no matter how Zhang Zuguang comforts him, he can't help but make Yang Xiaoli, the female shopkeeper of Yufeng Building, frown all day long, sighing. She was hired by Angel Firm to help take care of the shop, and since she received other people's salaries, she had to earn a good return for others, which is common sense that everyone knows after all. The store doesn't make money, and a large group of front and back kitchen staff still have to feed it, although Angel Commercial Bank is rich and seems to be not taken seriously at all, Yang Xiaoli can't bear it in her heart anyway.
"San'er, don't be idle there, Xiaojiao on your feet, you two move a ladder and wipe the plaque in front of the door," The plaque of "Yufeng Building" was the original king of the council, and now it is the handwriting of Yixin, a great official of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Yang Xiaoli always feels that the current business is not good, it must be related to the fact that the Russian foreign hair has tossed the plaque blindly and dirty in those days. After she finished instructing the young man on the second floor, she listlessly used the rag in her hand, and then went to wipe the big meal table in front of her that had been wiped spotlessly by her.
"Pedal ......" With the sound of brisk footsteps on the stairs, Yang Xiaoli's face showed a hint of joy. But when she turned her face and looked up, she was discouraged again, "I said San'er, why are you not moving?" Or are you playing sloppy with me? ”
"Hehe-hee-......" San'er, who rushed up the stairs, didn't seem to hear the accusation of the female shopkeeper, but pointed down with a happy face, "The shopkeeper, the guest is here, the big guest!" The big shopkeeper said, hurry up and pack up the best room and use the best skills to entertain the guests. ”
"Really?" Yang Xiaoli was pleasantly surprised and was about to rush to the railing on the second floor to see what kind of distinguished guests were coming below, but after taking a step, she quickly stopped her steps. First, he threw the rag in his hand to San'er, and then he wanted to pick it up on his body, but before his hand touched his clothes, he raised it to his sideburns.
"Shopkeeper, don't be busy, the guests are coming," looking at the female shopkeeper who was in a hurry and didn't know what to do, San'er didn't finish his words, and quickly flashed to the side and got out of the staircase.
"Haha...... The female shopkeeper can make this shabu shabu shop so popular, she must not be an ordinary person, it can't be three heads and six arms......" With a burst of footsteps and hearty laughter, a pair of young men and women, accompanied by Xue Jiang, the chief shopkeeper of Angel Commercial Bank, and her man Zhang Zuguang, appeared in Yang Xiaoli's sight.
"Yo, don't guess, this must be the famous Yang shopkeeper," the man who came up immediately smiled when he saw Yang Xiaoli, who was stunned there, and immediately bowed his hand with a smile, "Long Yang, long Yang." ”
Yang Xiaoli didn't have to guess to know that the people who came must be people from the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom who had just gained power, not only because they were wearing blue Han costumes that were rare only in theaters in the past, but recently they suddenly became the most popular clothes in various clothing stores, and she also carefully observed that the short hair on the head of this young man without braids was not newly cut at all.
"Oh, why are you still standing there stupidly, why don't you hurry up and greet the guests," Zhang Zuguang stepped up and pulled his wood-like daughter-in-law, and smiled at Lin Haifeng, "Director Lin, this is what I have in the house." After speaking, he stabbed his daughter-in-law with a smile, "Fool, this is Director Lin of the Taiping Red Army, the living immortal who can go to heaven that you talked about." ”
At this moment, Yang Xiaoli, who was already a little sober, was dizzy and stupid again. My mother, Angel Firm has been a taboo for several lifetimes, when the Qing Dynasty was there, the scenery was infinite, and now the sky has changed, why are they still beautiful? There is already a handwriting of the king of parliament in front of the door, and now if you get a precious plaque of a living god to enshrine it, then Yufeng Lou will not be able to fire out of the capital, and the fire will be all over the world!
"It's over, it's over," Lin Haifeng looked at Yang Xiaoli's stupid look, turned his head and stretched out his hands at Mrs., grinning like a bitter gourd, "Presumably the shopkeeper Yang knows that we are poor, and we are not welcome to fight the autumn breeze." Come on, let's be more interesting and go our own way, otherwise, we will want to go again in a while, but I'm afraid there will be no stairs. ”
Seeing such a rare big guest turn around to leave, Yang Xiaoli finally came to her senses, and in her eagerness, she stretched out her hand, wanting to grab but was embarrassed to grab the guest's wide sleeves, "Don't ...... Don't, you can come to our little shop, it's really a good thing that the little shop is so vibrant, please can't invite it......"
Looking at the anxious look of Yang Xiaoli, who was really real, Liu Xianghe chuckled, and hurriedly stepped forward to take one of Yang Xiaoli's hands and stroked it gently, "Sister-in-law, you take care of him, he just likes to tease people." ”
"Hum", Yang Xiaoli was stupid again, "Sister-in-law", where can a little person like us be worthy of the sister-in-law of the fairy lady......
