Fang Jingbo never thought that Mi Sisan's husband would be so young, it is more appropriate to say that he is young, but it is better to say that he is young. He looked at least a few years younger than Miss San. He was surprised in his heart, but he couldn't help but sigh. No wonder Miessang is so capable, it seems that their family business is to be controlled by her. However, he can still understand this kind of marriage, from his mother's mouth, he once learned that there is a peculiar custom in this land, that is, rich families like to find a child daughter-in-law for their sons and young masters. Sangyu probably belongs to this category, right?

Seeing the person who came in at the door standing there a little stunned, Sang Yu opened her arms and pounced on her face full of surprise, "Husband, why did you come?" People are going to be busy. As he spoke, he kissed him heavily on the face, and turned his head to look at Fang Jingbo, "Mister Fang, this is my husband, Ai Hua." Husband, this is our partner, the Mr. Fang Jingbo that people often tell you about in their letters. As he spoke, he stabbed Aihua, whose face was flushed and didn't seem to have come to his senses.

"Oh, my husband, thank you for taking care of my wife." Ai Hua took a few steps forward as if he had just woken up from a dream, and bowed deeply, "I often see my wife praising you in the letter, and I will ask my husband to take care of you in the future." ”

Fang Jingbo hurriedly returned the salute, "You're welcome, that's all as it should be." ”

Sang Yu took her husband's arm, snuggled her head affectionately on her husband's shoulder, looked at Fang Jingbo and smiled, "Mister Fang, my husband is very stupid in business, but he loves me very much." ”

Fang Jingbo looked at Ai Hua, then at Sang Yu, and smiled, "No, seeing that Mr. Ai is heroic, and he is by no means an ordinary person." However, I am sure that you and your husband must be very affectionate. I won't bother you. ”

Seeing Fang Jingbo away, Sang Yu took Ai Hua into the back room. She looked at Aihua, who looked very uncomfortable, then at her body, covered her mouth and smiled, "I didn't expect me to be like this, right?" ”

Aihua nodded, touching his still feverish face, "I didn't dare to recognize it when I entered the door." ”

Sang Yu sat down with a smile, "No way, you have to get used to the habits here." Wuchang and Jiujiang are good, right? ”

"I don't dare go there." Ai Hua smiled embarrassedly, "However, His Highness has arranged it properly, our trading houses there are strong, and many compradors in Shanghai now and in the past also have to take goods from us." Hehe, they all regret that they started late. ”

"Your Highness is really a man of God," Sang Yu couldn't help but sigh at the mention of His Highness, "That consul Jin is really going to start planning to sell a whole shipload of arms to us." ”

Ai Hua nodded, "Your Highness has reminded you again and again, you must not be careless, and the Qing Demons are not eating for nothing." By the way, have all the Qing demon deployments around Shanghai been surveyed? ”

"Well, and the map of Shanghai drawn by the British, I have all ready. I have to go to Xu Naizhao every few days to have a look. Sang Yu smiled slightly and stood up, "You take a rest first, and I'll go to the North Camp of the Qing Demon." In the afternoon, ask Bishop Law to baptize you. ”

"I'm not tired," Aihua also stood up, "I'm going to meet Liu Lichuan." ”

"To see him?" Sang Yu looked at him in confusion.

Aihua smiled, took off the melon skin hat on his head, and showed a bare top of his head. Only then did Sang Yu know that the braid on his head was fake.

Liu Lichuan finally looked forward to someone from Tianjing. He's struggling to get paid these days. The Knives now have a smaller number than before, but a well-equipped army. Especially Pan Qiliang's four battalions, as well as Zhou Xiuying's women's battalion, are already foreign guns, and there are also a lot of foreign guns in other departments. This qiē, even the besieging Qing army is unforgettable. However, in order to maintain this qiē, it is necessary to have a large amount of silver. In addition, in order to fight the blockade of the Qing army for a long time, the city must also prepare enough food. Now with Angel Commercial Bank, a channel for the purchase and transportation of grain, money is also needed.

Although the Little Knife Society announced that it would levy taxes on all residents after the occupation of Shanghai, many believers in the city repeatedly wanted to rely on foreigners, defaulted on taxes, and even wanted not to pay them altogether. Naturally, those priests were not willing to be lonely, and threatened with photographs every time, and did not allow Xiaodao to levy heavy donations or humiliate the believers in Shanghai.

According to the edict of the king of heaven not to provoke trouble with the foreign brothers, Liu Lichuan had to let them go one by one. Who knows that this is undoubtedly self-destructive. In order to avoid taxes, the wealthy families of Shanghai are increasingly attached to the church, and many of them have begun to plan to move to the concessions outside the city. If this continues, there will be no military salaries, how can the city be held for a long time? In the inner room, Liu Lichuan confided his distress to King An's envoy.

Ai Hua, who was disguised as a monk, listened to Liu Lichuan's introduction and smiled faintly, "What's so difficult about this." When he arrived, His Highness made a point of stating that the foreigners stationed in Shanghai were not ready to fight us directly, although they were tough in a short period of time. Britain and the United States were now concerned with the duration of the concessions, and the French did not have many troops in Shanghai at all. Taxation is our own business, and no one should be treated equally, and no other country has the right to interfere. His Royal Highness also said that we should not think that the foreigners who sold us guns and cannons were friendly to us, but that some people were only interested in profit. ”

Ai Hua looked at Liu Lichuan, who seemed to be a little confused, "Don't be rigid to comprehend the edict of the Heavenly King. The meaning of the king of heaven is that we do not take the initiative to use force against the foreign brothers, but if he insists on moving, we are not afraid. From now on, all gates in Shanghai will be blocked, and large households will be prohibited from fleeing. Anyone who disobeys or defaults on taxes will be punished with heavy fines. In addition, it is necessary to state to the consuls of various countries that the priests and expatriates must abide by the laws of the Heavenly Kingdom and must not forcibly interfere in the internal affairs of the Celestial Empire. ”

Liu Lichuan looked at this tough messenger, "just in case"

"Be ready to deal with the armed intervention of foreigners at any time, there is no case." Aihua smiled and touched the top of his bare head, "Isn't there someone who wants to run to the concession, it won't be long before they will regret it, and then it's too late." ”

Liu Lichuan is not the same now as she was when she first occupied Shanghai. At that time, he was really worried about the intervention of the foreign powers, and he lacked confidence, so he had a compromise with the foreigners. Now that he has the powerful Celestial Empire as his backing, he is not afraid of anything, "Isn't Your Highness in Zhenjiang, can't you quickly get through the direct contact with here?" ”

"Hehe, haven't we been in touch now?" Ai Hua smiled, "With you holding down a large number of Qing Demons here and consuming them, it gives the Heavenly Army greater initiative." ”

Liu Lichuan nodded thoughtfully, "We will, we will definitely be able to defend Shanghai City." ”

"Your Highness, I believe you can hold on. The Celestial Empire will support you in every way. Aihua stood up, "We must take advantage of the gap in the war to publicize the purpose of our Celestial Empire." At the same time, we must not be soft on those who are hostile to us. Wealthy families who fled the city were confiscated and their houses and fields were given to the poor. ”

"That's good, let's do it right away!" Liu Lichuan smiled.
