Chapter 115: The South China Sea

"If you go back to the prince, it is a humble position." Zhao Guanhou knew that it was meaningless to deny this kind of thing. The only thing to worry about is whether the prince will take the opportunity to warn himself and keep himself away from his daughter from now on.

In his previous life, although he had never been in contact with a person of this status, he had seen a lot of rich people who threw out a check and kept himself away from his daughter. Of course, most of these rich people will receive some photos or videos from themselves after a period of time. But in this life, I can't do this to King Qing, if I really make trouble to that point, it will indeed be very passive, and it will not be easy to solve it smoothly.

Fortunately, King Qing didn't ask once, but nodded, "Yes, young hero, even his thirteenth Taibao was smashed, smashed well!" If you dare to provoke the king's character, you should clean it up. Don't worry, the six kings spoke, the ancestral street, don't dare to mess around, you don't have to be afraid, this king will also protect you. Let me ask you, how much is this mine worth? ”

"If you go back to the prince, these two instruments are foreigners, foreign medicines, and foreign machinery, and like that gun, they are both Taixi sharp weapons, so naturally they will not be cheap."

Speaking of which, King Qingwang naturally understands that the less cheap the price, the more rebates he has. He twisted his beard with his hand, and a smile appeared on his face, "Very good, if you run foreign affairs and train the new army, you can't be afraid of spending money." A penny, a penny, don't be greedy for cheap, you must value the actual effect. If you leave a bullet in your hand, you can hurt people if you throw it, but if it falls into the hands of the chaos, this is going to be a big problem. You let Yuan Weiting talk to the Belgians, all the bullets in their hands, they can only sell them to the Dajin court, not to private individuals. This object can only be in our own hands, and the same is true of landmines. ”

King Qing is old and refined, and from the introduction of weapons, he has already seen how he should do it, and where is the point of breaking the game. Hand bullets and mines can be turned into sharp weapons for stabbing, which are more difficult to prevent than bullets. If it falls into the hands of someone with a heart and is used to assassinate, the ministers are afraid that they will be in danger, and the safety of the two palaces cannot be guaranteed.

With this big hat pressed down, whether it is the household or the road, I don't dare to say more or less about the price, otherwise the responsibility will fall on me. King Qing specially instructed: "You and Yuan Weiting must be clear, don't be afraid to spend money, as long as the things are good and the materials are true, it is worth spending more silver taels." ”

"The humble position understands, the prince can rest assured, Lord Yuan and the humble official will carefully negotiate with foreign merchants, not only to ensure quality and quantity, but also to let the court not spend money indiscriminately. The rules that should be there cannot be left behind. ”

"Well, the rules really can't be left behind. Rong An and I are not outsiders, and I will not see you outside. People say that the general office of the affairs of various countries is good, but I think it is purely a harmful place. There are only two places where foreign affairs can be benefited, one is to borrow foreign debts, and the other is to buy arms. The discount in this, there is Zhang Hefei in the front, and Zhang Yeqiao in the back, where is my turn? This time, the king decided by himself, and he must not let them handle it again. The Son of Heaven is also going to revitalize military affairs now, and it is precisely when he wants to purchase foreign weapons and train strong soldiers, this is a good time, and this matter will definitely be done when the printing is opened after the year. ”

When he said this, he was completely sure, Zhao Guanhou thanked him repeatedly, and then said goodbye with interest. Shigege was about to send him, but was stopped by the housekeeper, saying that the prince wanted to see Gege. Shi Gege had no choice but to whisper to Zhao Guanhou: "Wait for me at the door, let's go to Qinghetang to eat osmanthus skin fried." ”

When she entered the study, Shigege kowtowed first and called Amma, King Qing pointed to her shoulder, and she stood behind her father obediently and beat it gently. Although I was a little dissatisfied with my father's use of medicine and wine for my mother, after all, it was a matter of the previous generation, and he was his blood and blood, and this has not changed. What's more, King Qing is not thin on herself, she still can't do it after all, and she treats her father coldly.

King Qing narrowed his eyes, finished smoking the cigarette in the pipe, put it aside, and after a while, he let out a sigh of relief, "Comfortable!" Let your daughter beat her shoulders, which is different from the maid serving. Old ten, do you still have money? ”

"If you go back to Amma, you will have money."

"Don't lie to me, I heard that you are looking for people all over the world to sell things, and you have taken a lot of your favorite things to the glass factory, and some have been sent to the pawnshop. Even that Huntsmei, you are looking for someone to get rid of, Yang Lishan also asked about this yesterday, he is not worried about this car for a day or two, and he wants to buy it, so let me scold it back. My daughter's car, he is also blessed to sit in the fourth child? What's the matter, my daughter of Yikuang is going to be reduced to the point of pawning to live? Joke! The festival salute sent by Yuan Weiting, our masters, two and one add five, and divide it. ”

Shigege's heart warmed, and he quickly shook his head, "Amma, I don't want money." I'm not short of money either. I sell things because I don't want to play anymore, and I'm really not short of money. It's almost the New Year, inside and outside the palace, there are many places where you use money, I can't take this. ”

"Silly girl, if you don't take it, your brother will take it too. Dad, I have a way, I don't need you to worry about me. This kid made you a lot of money? ”

Shigege's hand was slightly heavier, and he quickly took a step back, retracted his hand, and fell to his knees, "Amma, he didn't use my money." He also ...... He gave me two thousand. ”

"Two thousand? Okay, this kid is smart enough to know that you have to bait first when fishing, but fishing for my Laoqing's baby girl, two thousand, is too little. King Qing's face was as usual, and he pulled his daughter up, "Old ten, the male should get married, and the female should marry, what is there to be ashamed of." If you like him, I'll say a word to Yuan Xiangcheng, he's crazy. It's just that he's a blue-topped now, and he doesn't deserve to marry you. What's the matter, my daughter also has to marry a bright red-topped admiral, right? But I think he is very smart, he is young, not only does he look good, but he also has good skills, he can study mines, keep ammunition in his hands, and he can tinker with these foreign things, maybe there will be great things in the future. You, have a good eye for yourself, just don't let him deceive. For the rest, I'll just pretend I didn't see it, but I'm not going to be out of character, you know? ”

Ten Gege said in his heart, he and him, everything is out, and now it's a little late to say this. But on the surface, he still nodded, "My daughter understands." ”

"I originally wanted to leave him for dinner, but when I thought of you, my mother...... Forget it. You entertain him for me, and give him a few more dollars to spend, so as not to say that I, an old man, can't be a man. ”

"Ama ......" Yuqing was a little shy, but also a little happy, and at the same time felt a little sour in her heart, feeling that she was a little sorry for her father when she was at the Six Nations Hotel and Zhao Guanhou Hu Tianhudi. King Qing laughed, stood up and touched Shigege's head

"Silly girl, don't you take the money and leave? If you change your eldest brother, I'm afraid you won't even be able to catch up with the gun. This stupid boy is blessed, he can be valued by my daughter, let him learn to cherish his blessings, I will say hello to Yuan Weiting when I turn around, my future son-in-law's errand, how can it be just a Goshha? The more he is on this errand, the more he goes back, let him be a pipe belt standard, what's the big deal? ”

Shigege blushed and said, "He...... He's not ...... yet."

"What's not it, as long as my daughter is in love, sooner or later it will be, dare to say a word, I will kill him with one finger!" King Qing snorted, "Old Shi, as long as you look pleasing to the eye, Ama won't embarrass him." Speaking of which, you have a better life than your sisters, who they want to marry, even what I, Amma, said, may not count, and Lafayette has to ask for marriage. You'll be fine, if you don't enter the Zongren Mansion, no one will take care of it, so ah, just find someone who looks pleasing to the eye, a lifetime of things, and you can't be sloppy. Hurry up, it's cold, don't let him wait. ”

When Shigege came out of the house, King Qing shook his head, "It's big, the wings are hard, it's time to fly." I'm old, I'm really old, all the little house sparrows have flown away, and I'm the only thief left in my old family. This kid, so good-natured, I'm such a good girl, let this bastard cheat away. If you dare to treat my daughter badly, I'll let you know what it means to hurt! As he spoke, he put away the stack of silver tickets and put them in his horseshoe sleeve.

Zhao Guanhou and Yuqing were eating osmanthus skin fried in Qinghetang, while listening to her talk about King Qing's words, and said with a smile: "It seems that Lao Taishan is very satisfied with me, then I have to work hard, promote a high-ranking official as soon as possible, and marry you." After eating, I went to see Lao Taishui, and you said to buy something. ”

"Don't make trouble, my mother is no better than Amma, when you see her now, she has to nag me to death." Shigege shook his head, strictly speaking, he was not ready to get married, not to mention that the two couldn't get married now. If you really let your mother fall in love, then there will definitely be countless problems coming down, and it will be annoying to think about it.

The two of them sat in a private room, but no one disturbed them, but they heard a few people talking loudly outside, and the sound was very loud, and they could hear it clearly. "Today, a saint is giving a speech in Mishi Hutong, let's go and listen to it after dinner. Every time I listen to the words of a saint, I feel that it is very open, and my generation of scholars may not be as effective as listening to the words of a saint once after reading a book all their lives. ”

"What Brother Ren said is very true, let's eat quickly, let's go and watch it together after eating."

Shigege is naturally lively, and at this time, he also pulled Zhao Guanhou, "Let's go, let's listen together." ”

"Huh? I also said that I would accompany you to the play, why did I listen to the speech again, could it be that this saint is a saint, what he says is better than singing? ”

"I can listen to the drama of Xiao Yutian next time, Kang Changsu's speech, but it won't last long. Besides, doesn't Ama want you to find a way to be promoted, after the New Year, long live the government. Hearing the words of Sage Kang, I was very interested in Long Live thoughts, and I thought about summoning it, you just happened to figure out the holy will from his speech, I don't understand this, how to promote. ”

When he got on Hengsmei, he gave an order, and drove the car through the city until he reached the outside of Xuanwu Gate, outside the Nanhai Hall in Mishi Hutong. Seeing people coming and going, a lot of people have gathered, looking at their manners, most of them are readers. When Huntsman stopped, he saw that Shigege was wearing a white fox fur jacket with big hair, and then looked at the Huntsmei, and knew that it was from the dignitary's house. There were a few local scholars inside, and they hurriedly bowed their hands, "Tenth Master, are you here too?" It's a good thing to invite you. ”

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, I'm a little late, I don't know if there's a seat." Originally, I thought that Kang Zuyi's speech was only a dozen people listening, but I didn't expect that there were more than 100 people gathering, where to put the small hall, Jin Shi came a little late, and most of them were afraid that there would be no place. But at this moment, a young man came out and said in an official dialect with a strong Cantonese accent: "Please come inside, my brother said, since you are a new friend, you should be treated preferentially, please come and sit in the house." ”

There was a stove burning in the room, but it was extremely warm, Yuqing and Zhao Guanhou took off their coats and handed them to the messenger on the side, but they saw that what was placed on the side was either a big hair or a fever inside. More than a dozen people sitting in the room, wearing satin leather robes, with pipa plackets on the outside, hats on their heads, wrenches on their hands and even purses on their waists, most of them are a little exquisite, all of them are famous lords in Sijiu City. Most of them knew Yuqing, and it was not strange to see her coming, so they just arched their hands and shouted, "Old ten, you are here too." "It's hard to talk about it any more.

I heard that the tea came over, the tea was very ordinary, Yuqing only looked at it, and didn't put it in his mouth, Zhao Guanhou didn't pay much attention to it, but he could drink it freely. At this time, I only heard someone say, "Mr. Changsu is here, everyone be quiet." Nowadays, the country is in a difficult situation, Mr. Chang Su works hard for the country every day, and he rarely has time to explain to you, and the opportunity is rare and should not be missed. ”

While speaking, from behind the curtain, a middle-aged man in his early forties walked out slowly, just like the famous corner in the troupe, he wanted to have a meeting first. His appearance is not evil, his spirit is also sufficient, and his demeanor has a momentum of self-sacrifice. Xiang first glanced around the room, then looked at the hundreds of listeners in the courtyard, cleared his throat, and began to preach loudly.

His official language is very bad, with a serious Cantonese accent, and the gentlemen of Sijiu City are really hard to listen to. Zhao Guanhou couldn't be more familiar with Cantonese in his last life, but there was no pressure to listen to it. It's just that he saw a lot of roadside speakers and even presidential candidates in his previous life, and he didn't know how many eloquent people had seen, and he didn't have any admiration for Kang Zuyi, so when he looked at the problem, he was more calm, and he looked down on his speech level more and more.

Except for the accent problem, Kang Zuyi is not a master of speech, his ability to incite emotions and master the rhythm is average, and his voice is not particularly loud, and there are occasional pauses. If you pass by the standards of ordinary people, but if you want to be a leader, you will inevitably lose your quality.

"I have 40,000 people in China, no rich or lowly, today under the roof, in the leaky boat; Like a bird in a cage, a prisoner in a prison......"

The so-called speech, from beginning to end, was only a little over three minutes long, but in the courtyard, there were already people crying loudly. Zhao Guanhou looked at Yuqing on the side, saw that there were some fluctuations in her big eyes, and gently grabbed her hand and shook it. At this time, Kang Zuyi had already stopped speaking and left, and then a young man came up and said: "Ren Gong in Xialiang, now I will continue to talk for everyone after following the words of my teacher." (To be continued.) )
