When bidding farewell to Huang Shaoji, Lu Hong saw Xiao Nizi with a strange smile on her face, and immediately pinched her nose with a fast movement and made a strange face, which immediately stunned Xiao Nizi, but after a while, a row of shell teeth and two cute little dimples were revealed, and she looked back and shook her head away.

As a result, Lu Hong, who stayed in Huangfu for a day, had nothing to do that day except for carefully drawing a few drawings of the first-level acquisition system, and Huang Tifang returned to the house very late that night and called Lu Hong over.

When he arrived at the main hall, Lu Hong immediately found that Huang Tifang seemed to be full of fatigue, could it be that there was something wrong with the forged evidence provided by himself, that thing he had pondered repeatedly, and it took a lot of money to find a professional newspaper in Tianjin Wei to get the original manuscript, and after the remake, it is even more difficult to determine the authenticity, and it should be impossible to have a problem!

He immediately opened his mouth and asked, "Huang Gong, did those photos that I gave you yesterday come in handy?" ”

Huang Tifang beckoned to Lu Hong, pointed to the position next to him, motioned for him to sit down, and was silent for a moment before saying: "Nephew Lu Xian, the difficulty of this matter is beyond my expectations, I showed it to Li Lansun (Li Hongzao), and the translator of the Military Aircraft Department also translated the content properly...... Mr. Lee also believes that it is necessary to deal with it carefully...... Just ......"

He raised his eyes and looked at Lu Hong, but the expression of the young descendant in front of him was unexpectedly calm, which made him can't help but feel a little more praise in his heart, ordinary people heard this, and they couldn't wait to ask, "It's just that Master Li and I went to see Lord Weng, but we couldn't convince him!" ”

Weng Tongxiao's eyesight is so bad? This result is a little inexplicable to Lu Hong, the evidence he forged and the deduction made by Huang Tifang, if you can't see that you are trying to go to war, then there is really something wrong with this head...... The question is, isn't this old man the champion, is the champion Lang's head made of elm?

He thought about it, and it seemed that he still had to take action himself, "Huang Gong, it seems that these corroborations are still a little lacking, but this matter is related to the country, how can you give up halfway...... I drafted a copy last night, which I heard about during my trip to Tessie and what I learned about the military after returning home...... There are also some improvement measures, if you can, can you please Huang Gong to pass it on to Lord Weng on your behalf! ”

"Improving the army......" Huang Tifang couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard Lu Hong's words, this is not a small proposition, and this topic is very sensitive in today's court, the millions of soldiers in the Qing Dynasty, except for the Eight Banners Army of less than 300,000, most of the others are the training army adapted from the Huai system, and what Qingliu criticizes the most is undoubtedly the Huai system's practice of supporting the army and self-respecting!

He took the copywriting from Lu Hong's hand suspiciously, and after reading a few words, Huang Tifang smiled and said, "Nephew Lu Xian, this doesn't seem to be your writing!" ”

After reading a few more lines, the expression on his face became more and more serious, and after reading a few words and asking Lu Hong, the two chattered until late at night, and after letting Lu Hong go to rest first, Huang Tifang took the copy in the main hall and read it several times, until there was a sound of broken footsteps outside, and as soon as the wooden door opened, Huang Shaoning came in with ginseng soup.

"Shao Ning, let's go rest early......" Huang Tifang patted the copywriting in his hand, and suddenly asked, "This Lu Hong, what do you think of him?" ”

There were some questions asked, Xiao Nizi's hand that was pouring ginseng soup couldn't help shaking, and she looked back at the little old man who was still staring at the copywriting and pondering, and then she felt that she was too careful, and she couldn't help but smile, two red clouds flew on her face, and she couldn't help but think of the strange thoughts that Lu Hong had done during the day......

"Mr. Lu...... He's such a weird, funny guy! Xiao Nizi smiled without thinking.

Huang Tifang was also stunned when she heard Xiao Nizi say this, and after thinking for a while, she patted her head, and she thought too much about this matter...... Since this Lu Hong has another good plan, then you might as well let him give it a try!

Today, he and Li Hongzao went to see Lord Weng, and after presenting those supporting evidences, both of them strongly advocated that they immediately question Minister Yuben's envoy Xiaocun on this, and it is best to put pressure on Yuben through the British and French to force Yuben to make a clear statement!

Weng Tongyi read these corroborations, and after listening to Huang Tifang's explanation, he pondered for a while, frowned and said something like the hateful heart of a wolf son, but, to their surprise, this important minister who held the power of the entire emperor [***] matter, after thinking about it, said something to the two of them that they didn't expect.

"Lansun, Shulan, Li Hongzhang is shouting about coastal defense, and the sailors who spent more than 20 million taels of silver have not tasted a war so far, and now, there is a navy and land force in Beiyang, just like in full swing, and the Japanese people are making some movements, but it is just right for Li Hongzhang to show his skills!"

Huang Tifang and Li Hongzao were a little stunned, and hurriedly opened their mouths to defend themselves, this war is not an ordinary trivial matter, and the Beiyang Naval Division has not purchased a new ship for 7 years, and I am afraid that it may not be able to control Yu himself during the war.

As a result, Weng Tongyi immediately expressed his attitude, "Lansun, Shulan, Li Hongzhang supports the army and respects himself, I just want him to try it on the battlefield to see if he is a mule or a horse, and there will be room to rectify him in the future!" ”

As soon as this Qingliu boss spoke, Huang Tifang and Li Hongzao were silent, and they each found some reasons, but they couldn't change any of their practices for Lord Weng, anyway, this person didn't care what his intentions were, if he wanted to fight, let his rival Li Hongzhang go.

And Weng Tongyi listened to the meaning of Huang Tifang and Li Hongzao, according to the current situation, it is really not a good chance to defeat Luo himself, this point, he Weng Tongyi understands, how can the old cunning Li Hongzhang not understand that when the time comes, if he is invincible, or if he loses a small defeat, he can take the opportunity to make this old opponent make a fool of himself!

This important minister who holds the authority of the empire has not worried about anything big happening at this moment, but there are millions of heroes in Greater China, that is, the Beiyang Naval Division, which is also the first in Asia recognized by all countries in Taixi.

Early the next morning, Huang Tifang went out early, but Lu Hong and Qin Tianmin waited in the Huang family's mansion for a day, but there was no news.

Lu Hong obviously overestimated the efficiency of the Qing Empire's court, and took advantage of this stall to ask Qin Tianmin to wait for news in the mansion, and when there was news, he was looking for himself in Dongjiaomin Lane.

In the Longsheng teahouse below the west archway, more than a dozen middle-aged people wearing robes and horse coats, or three or two, or one or two people sat around the tea enclosure, ordered three or five plates of snacks, one or two snacks, and their heads were together and muttered in a low voice.

Since there is no so-called industry in Yanjing, the main livelihood of these compradors is to introduce foreign companies to the yamen and dignitaries, once the introduction is successful, they can get a reward, fortunately, under the appearance of 30 years of "Tongguang Prosperous Age", although the tax on gold has stifled the national industry, but for foreign goods that only need to pay 5% tariffs and 2% centi, it has indeed created a prosperous economy, which has long been the new occupation of Yanjing City.

A little later, a young man in a robe appeared at the door of the teahouse, and Xiao Er hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, "This master, the spring rolls and hemp balls in the small shop are signature dim sum, do you want to have one, the newly listed West Lake Longjing also has it, I will give you a pot to try it, okay?" ”

Lu Hong, who had just walked into the teahouse, was somewhat suspicious of the news he had inquired about earlier, pointed to a table by the window next to him, reached out and took out a piece of Yingyang and shook it in front of the guy, "Little Er, just two things, I have two words to ask you, I can make it clear, this is yours!" ”

As soon as the guy looked at it, he knew that he had met the God of Wealth this morning, and it wouldn't take 300 Wen to eat in the teahouse here for a day, after all, it was all some tea and snacks, and he greeted Lu Hong to the side with a smile, "This master, I can say a thing or two about the things around Dongjiaomin Lane, and the rest is difficult!" ”

"I heard that the compradors of the foreign company here often wait for guests in your teahouse, I don't know, right?"

The guy was happy when he heard it, this question was too simple, he nodded hurriedly, and then turned his head and pointed to the group of old and young masters on the other side who were muttering and talking, "This master, aren't those just that!" I want to introduce you one or two, leaning against the west window, the one in the blue horse coat, that is Chen Hefeng Chen Ye, he is familiar with the French foreign company, the fat man behind him, wearing a light-colored horse coat, that is Wang Chaocheng, he specializes in his own business......"

Lu Hong listened carefully to the guy's introduction, put the piece of Eagle Ocean in his hand, and then took out another piece of Eagle Ocean, and said in a low voice: "Man, talk to me again, those compradors have a good reputation here, and when I confirm it, this piece of Eagle Ocean is also yours!" ”

The guy rubbed his hands happily, today is a big luck, it's a local tyrant, he was busy introducing it, and a little later, Lu Hong found Sima Qi, a comprador who was sitting alone in the corner and wearing a felt hat on his head.

"Your name is Sima Qi? I have more than trading, and I want to ask a foreigner for a quote! Lu Hong went straight to the point and asked for directions very straightforwardly.

This man in his thirties, his face is cleanly shaved, in this era of liking to grow a beard to show elegance, it is not common, and a braid is also coiled up and covered by a hat, he seems to have paid attention to Lu Hong, and when he saw that business came to the door at this moment, he smiled slightly, "I am Sima Qi, the guest's surname?" ”

"My surname is Lu, the guy I asked just now, they think you're okay!" After Lu Hong finished speaking, he stared at the man opposite, and he always felt that this guy was a little strange.

Sima Qi suddenly smiled, and his smile was very weird, "Mr. Lu, I saw that you gave the guy a reward, but, you may not know, I told the guy earlier, he introduced the deal to me, and I gave him a reward of 2 taels of silver, so you will be the opposite of me!" ”

Lu Hong was also surprised by these words, but his interest in this Sima Qi also increased greatly!
