For every 1,000 or 20 pieces of silver, it is 20,000 taels, just like the number of filial piety to Li Lianying that day. Of course, it can't be said to be a gift of money, but it is a special product. Fortunately, the New Year is approaching, and the purple crab and whitebait in Jinmen are in season. Zhao Guanhou took Huo Qiu and the Yuan family brothers three subordinates, and the four of them each carried two baskets on the train. The basket is chilled, and the best purple crab and whitebait are nominally a special product for the nobles in Beijing, but in fact, it is just a pretense to block the mouth of the imperial historian.

Huo Qiu got into the car, first made the bed for Zhao Guanhou, and then said: "My lord, this time we will enter Beijing, and we will be the east, please go to Shaanxi Lane and sit down." I heard that the Qingyin small class in Jingshi, the flavor of the Su Bang, is not quite the same as the flavor of our Jinmen. When you get there, if you have a ...... you like"

"You can't afford to spend it." Zhao Guanhou sat down, and without waiting for the Yuan brothers to make a move, he began to pour tea himself, making the two of them a little scared.

"There are a lot of money in Beijing, and there are many nobles, not comparable to Jinmen. The Su Gang is even more of a place to put on music, which is the place for our Qiu Ba to have a pastime. Listen to me, enter Beijing, go out less, and don't get into trouble. If you want to eat, I'll let someone introduce you to a few places to make sure you eat well. The others are less involved, if something really happens, it's a big deal, and I still have trouble on my own, so it's not good to help you when the time comes. Sit down and have some tea. ”

Huo Qiu hurriedly called a thousand to express his gratitude, and then lifted his clothes, revealing the two revolvers stuck in his waist, "We also know about your little thing, isn't it the second one?" The biggest skill in his family is to raise a group of plasterers, which is nothing remarkable. If you really dare to stab us, I will shoot him down, see what master can withstand the gun! ”

Zhao Guanhou hurriedly pulled his clothes, "Put it down, you're going crazy!" There are a lot of officials in this car, exposing the guys, which adult is really shocked, don't you want the top? ”

At this time, there are a lot of people who go to Beijing to run official activities, even on the train, you can see a few red and blue tops, dangling in front of you. Seeing that Zhao Guanhou was blue-topped, but with a one-eyed flower, he was a little surprised. But those who are well-informed have already thought of his identity, and took the initiative to say hello to Zhao Guanhou's box and hand over a business card.

These people are all fritters in the officialdom, so they naturally understand that when they enter Beijing at this time, there must be some private things, and they can't ask more, just a daily greeting. However, I met a few officials from Tianjin, who entered Beijing from other provinces, and when I heard the accent in two times, I felt cordial, and took the initiative to sit down, talking and laughing, which was very lively.

One of them was on an errand in the Yamen, a political envoy in Shandong, with a four-grade crown on his head, and he was a civil official, much more valuable than Zhao Guanhou, a military general. In addition, he is in charge of finance and taxes, his waist is rich, and his qi is thicker, even if Zhao Guanhou has a single eye on his head, he can't suppress him. The mouth of the talk there is frothing and quite noisy.

"Everyone, in the past few years, it has been really chaotic in Shandong, first it was a troublemaker, and then it was a fist. A group of boxers don't practice kung fu at home, they have to gather people to make trouble, and they also specialize in making trouble. You say, "Isn't this a deliberate attempt to trouble us?" On the former side of Juye, the broadsword would kill the foreigners, and the Prussians would directly drive the warships over. At that time, the official was in the port, how could I be afraid of the people? stepped forward to refuse to fight, tongue and sword, tongue and tongue, foreigners knew that they were at the loss, they didn't dare to say a word, and they didn't dare to kill the people, isn't this all maintained by me? This time, there is something to make trouble with the word boxing and the word boxing, the competition is bright, the knife is fighting, look at the meaning, Shandong is going to fight. I came this time, just to ask for salary from the household department, if they want to make trouble, the government will have to suppress them, and they can't let them hurt foreigners, right? But this salary, you have to find a way. There are also arms and foreign medicines, which are not allowed to ask for money. ”

As he spoke, he looked at the basket brought by Zhao Guanhou, "Purple crab? It's a good thing, and there's a whitebait. This is the best time for our Jinmen, I said Brother Zhao, how about Brother Yun? I sent it to a few household officials to ensure that a few big men smiled and my errand would be easy to do. You have fulfilled your brother, and your brother has fulfilled you. Have you ever been to the capital? Where do you want to play, I will take you with me, and I will allow you to have fun and have fun. These people in Beijing are not good and bully. If you are an outsider, they will dare to bully you, change the way to make you spend money, and you will not be able to scratch the itch. Brother, I have a relationship in the palace, and I will take you into the palace when the time comes. ”

Zhao Guanhou shook his head, "I'm sorry, this is filial piety to Qingdi, brother, I don't dare to call the shots, and give it to others privately." ”

The man was rejected, and his face was a little unsightly, but when he heard Qingdi, he didn't dare to say anything, so he had to talk about some gossip. Zhao Guanhou asked again: "Why, Shandong also wants to ask for money to buy weapons?" I don't know which country's ordnance to buy, and how much to buy? ”

"Brother, what you said, you can't just buy foreign guns and cannons in Beiyang, and other people's families can only use burning sticks, right? Why do we have to have a Fu Biao in Yufutai, everyone has to make Taixi's foreign guys, right? Shandong guards Prussia, and the purchase of weapons is naturally the purchase of general weapons. This time I also had to buy Prussian fast guns, and I used a large sum of money. You're here at this time, most likely you're here to ask for money, right? This one...... But it's hard to say. There is only so much money from the household department, and if it is given to Zhang San, it will be difficult to give it to Li Si. You Beiyang have spent a lot of money over the years, and if you want me to say, it's time for others to make some money. ”

He didn't even the purple crab, and his words were very polite, Huo Qiu glared at him, but he was kicked by Zhao Guanhou and didn't dare to say anything.

When the train arrived at Majiabao, the Sipin Lord saw Huo Qiu and the other four people getting off the train with a basket on their backs, and sneered beside him: "Brother, has anyone picked up the station?" You have to find a car to pull these baskets of things. The dignified court officials carry their own baskets, and they are not unorthodox. I'm a friend from the household department to pick up the station, how can you get it? We're fellow countrymen, don't be polite to me, I'll go to the city, how about finding you a few jobs? ”

Zhao Guanhou shook his head, "Thank you, brother, don't be so troublesome, we also have a pick-up." ”

While speaking, everyone followed the flow of people and had already left the station, but they saw a person dressed as a small official, who came up in three steps and greeted the fourth-grade officer, "Brother, are you here?" I'll take you to find a shop and stay first, and then I'll go to see Lord Wang. He heard that you were coming, and he specially prepared a game tonight. ”

looked at Zhao Guanhou and the other four again, "This is?" ”

"Nothing, I met in the car."

Hearing this, the official simply didn't even give a good face, and walked a few steps with the four-rank official, and saw a dilapidated back crotch car parked there, and the horse pulling the cart was also a little unsightly. The fourth-grade old man's face was a little unsightly, and he asked, "What's the ...... How is it such a car? ”

"It's good to have a car, and you can pick and choose fat and thin. A few days ago, there was a good car, the Thirteen Taibao. I was smashed at the station, and now I have a good car, and I don't dare to come over......"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a whip, and a brand-new Huntsman Western carriage came running over, and the servant who was driving pointed at the officer, "You! Get your broken car away quickly, and don't get in the way of our ten masters! ”

As if he had seen a plague, the official hurriedly pulled the four-rank official and hurried away, and just when the two of them told the coachman to leave quickly, they saw a noble son in brocade clothes jumping down from Hensmei, stepped forward and affectionately grabbed the arm of Zhao Guanhou, and pulled him into the carriage.

Those baskets of purple crab whitebait are delicious to eat, but when they are put in the car, no one likes the taste. Especially on this Hensme carriage, it is impossible to put that, but fortunately, Jin Shi has a way, and it didn't take much time to call a big cart, load these things on the cart, and pull them towards the city.

Huo Qiu and the other three sat in another carriage, the space in the Hensmei carriage was limited, and Zhao Guanhou had the virtue of enduring hardships first and pleasure later. I had no choice but to sit in my arms with Shigege, leaving the spacious carriage to my attaché.

"Let me see, have you gotten fat."

"Touch it again, chop your hand." At the beginning of Shigege, he still had to open his teeth and dance his claws seriously, but after a short time, he quietly shouted "Forehead ......" and let Zhao Guanhou put his hands on him.

"You mentioned to me last time that you wanted to eat the purple crab whitebait from Jinmen, and I brought it to you as soon as it was available. It's all chilled, and it's very good. Two baskets are for your father-in-law, and two baskets are for you. ”

"Phew, stinky! Where did your father-in-law come from, let Amma hear, and skinned you? Shigege took a sip, but his heart was sweet. Now is the moment when the two are in love, but Zhao Guanhou's departure made her whole person feel like she was hanging in the air, and she couldn't even sleep well. I finally saw my lover again today, and I naturally felt happy from the bottom of my heart.

Their next place has been found a long time ago, but Zhao Guanhou does not go to the hotel, but has to be on the front line, first to touch the foundation of Qingwangfu, and then do things. Since you want to touch the foundation of the Qing Palace, you naturally have to find out the depth of the ten grids first, otherwise you will not live up to the trust of Lord Yuan. It was because of the fatigue of the carriage and horses that he went all the way to the Six Nations Hotel, and he explored the depth of the ten grids clearly, and exchanged several times before snuggling together and saying that he was in love.

When he heard him say that he would be able to exercise, the phoenix hairpin landed on the ground, and he nodded uncontrollably, "Well done, good said." Lafayette is old, and she is most afraid that others will offend her taboo. If you only hand over the hairpin, it will be useless. This return to Foshan four words, but it is greater than the credit of the hairpin, you gave birth to a good mouth, I didn't see the wrong person. ”

"Isn't it good to have only one mouth, but not somewhere else? Which one did you want me to tap just now? Zhao Guanhou laughed, and then said about the arms procurement.

"In the future, we will always have to live on our own, and my business is done, which can be regarded as a trickle. Hand bullets, mines, and bullets are consumables like bullets. It costs a lot to purchase, and we harvest it proportionally, which is also a large amount of input, which is enough to support my ten grids. ”

"Well, this is a good deal, especially the arms are very important, if you only buy a country's weapons, it is equivalent to putting your life in the hands of outsiders. If the two countries are at odds with each other, and people cut off our arms supply, won't it make our army useless? Without mentioning the benefits, it is just said that for the sake of state affairs, we should also buy more arms, and we must shop around. ”

Shi Gege couldn't help nodding, and then put his hand on Zhao Guanhou's ear, "But, this technique is obviously yours, why do you want to use a Belgian name?" Say! Did you put that foreign widow to sleep, and the two of you joined forces to pit a lot of gold!"

"It's nothing, we haven't done anything." Zhao Guanhou said good things again and again, and explained to her that if he didn't hold money on foreign goods, he would not be able to do this arms business. Yuqing naturally knew that the officialdom of the Jin Kingdom had always been like this, and it was not enough to go through such a formality, so she snorted angrily:

"It's all these bastard things and bastard rules that ruin state affairs. Long live the pro-government, if the virtuous ministers are appointed and the maladministration is eliminated, the country of this great gold can still be saved. You don't know, the capital has been lively recently. There is a Kang Zuyi in Guangdong, who has been very popular in Beijing recently. Although I am only the head of the Ministry of Works, Song Bolu, the imperial history of Shandong Province, and that Zhang Yinhuan are willing to sponsor him, and it won't be long before this person will be reused. He received many disciples in the capital, known as the sages of this world, and took the name of Changsu, to compete for the king of Changsu, and to be the second saint. You say, will such a person be the pillar of Daikin's future? ”

Zhao Guanhou was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "Did he seal this Changsu name himself, or did someone else give it away?" ”

"That's not very clear, it's impossible to say that you're a saint, it's shameless. It's just that I heard that he said that the scriptures of the past dynasties are all false assumptions of saints, are pseudo-studies, and should be abolished altogether. I also did the Apocryphal Scripture Examination, and I also did the Confucius Reform Examination, which was very powerful. He himself also said that he was under the Changshu Prime Minister, and your family Yuan Xiangcheng had donated money to his strong society, and he had joined the association, and he had to be a family with you. It's just that there was no news later, and now that Han Zhonghua wants to be a direct governor and wants to enter the military plane, I think Kang Nanhai and your Yuan Xiangcheng are going to be in opposition. ”

Yuan Weiting once worshiped Weng Fangtian's door wall, and now the top boss has changed Han Rong, and Han Rong and Weng Fangtian have always had a disagreement, and it is difficult for one person to take advantage of the two of them, and most of them will give up Weng and go to Han. Before, Yuan Weiting had the experience of turning his back on Zhang Tong in the middle hall of the lost power and defecting to Weng Fangtian, and his resume in this regard made people a little unseemly, and it was Jin Shi who also sneered at him.

Zhao Guanhou shook his head, "It's not that incident, but I think that such a person is good for talking, but he doesn't see real results, and most of them are a fool." And most of his purpose in deleting the Six Classics is to inject the Six Classics and raise his net worth. If he wants to compete with Kong Sheng, doesn't he want to be a saint himself? If you don't pay attention to the Six Classics, how can you be holy? Yuan Rong'an entered the strong society, just like we entered the treasure game, and when we saw that the dealer was prosperous, we just followed a bet. It's good to win, but it doesn't hurt if you lose, if he is a member of the strong school, it's nothing. Yuqing listens to me, don't have too much to do with them, it's not good. ”

Shigege rested his head on his chest and wrapped his arms around his neck like snow lotus, "You are my forehead, since you said so, I have no choice but to listen." I just heard that Kang Zuyi was in his hometown, and he had a non-binding meeting, and advocated equal rights for men and women, which was quite interesting, so I wanted to go and see it. But when you say so, I listen to you! ”

She saw that Zhao Guanhou was not interested in the Qiang Society, so she didn't mention it much, only mentioning his arms procurement. "It's time for you to come, it's almost the New Year, all old men, it's time to deal with it. I'll give you some money, and we'll go buy an impeachment. ”

"Buy impeachment? Who to join? ”

"Glass eggs! See also Yuan Weiting! Ten grids said: "This is called retreat as advance, through the impeachment of the imperial history, first block the mouth of this matter, let the above issue an edict, in the future, no one can speak in this matter." The New Year is approaching, and the Beijing debts owed by the old men must be repaid, and as long as a few hundred taels of silver, this matter can be smoothed out. I'm Amma, I'm going to visit tomorrow, dress neatly, so that his old man will be rare to you, and ...... in the future It's also easy to talk. I'll take you to pay a visit at night, and you give me two baskets of purple crab silverfish, just to send him a little heart, and also buy you a talisman in Beijing. ”

"Who is so capable that they are qualified to be my talisman?"

"This person is not a well-dressed person, but in the Xia Forest, he is very famous, half of the street is the source of the dart game, and the big sword king is five!" (To be continued.) )
