Chapter 25: The Clear-Streamed Cadre

[The new week has begun, I am anxious to ask for the recommendation and support of my brothers, thank you for the snow drift, and if you have a ticket, you can smash a few more tickets~~~]

At the end of February, Lu Hong visited Wu County Order again, and proposed to leave Mengyin for a while to go to Haizhou and Tianjin, and after Wu Daxuan listened, he was quite reluctant, and the production of Mengyin Coal Mine for more than a month could bring him a lot of benefits, and the coal mines, stone factories and other industries that were set up absorbed a large number of idle laborers in the county, and the beggars in the entire county were almost swept away, which was all Lu Hong's credit.

Now the industrial development of Mengyin can be described as stable, coupled with the auxiliary role of Mengyin Machine Society, there are indeed few opportunities for Lu Hong to come out, after a sincere conversation, he had heard Lu Hong say that there is a meaning to enter the office, and then specially wrote a letter of recommendation to give, Lu Hong originally did not take it seriously, after accepting it, the yellow envelope was written with the words "Weng Tong Gong Boss personally opened", but the signature was "protégé Wu Da Xuan head".

This can't help but make Lu Hong's head a little short-circuited, this Wu Daxuan's long horse face looks really unpopular, I didn't expect that there are quite a few ways on the official road, the previous time and the governor Li Bingheng had an old relationship, this time it was better, it turned out to be the protégé of the emperor and the chief military minister Weng Tongxi...... It's just that this Lord Weng, it is really difficult for him to talk to this big man, and this person has too many positive and negative comments in the history he knows!

However, Lu Hong immediately accepted this letter very sincerely, no matter how much it is a drop, there is one more way, he has just entered this turbulent era, and he must not let go of any opportunity.

When he said goodbye, he saw Wu Shengxi holding the book and swaying over again, "Brother Lu, I heard that you are going to Haizhou and Tianjin, and I am just about to enter Beijing to catch the exam, why don't you go all the way?" ”

And listening to Wu Shengxi, Lu Hong remembered something, in the year of the First Wu Dynasty, the 60th birthday of the Empress Dowager Cixi was specially examined, but there was a famous champion Zhang Jian, Wu Shengxi looks full of economic appearance, but I don't know if there is a gold list title in history, however, in contact with him during this time, I am quite interested in this old man who holds a book all day long, and Wu Shengxi is also very interested in Lu Hong's industry all day long.

"Sheng Xi, that's naturally good, I'll arrange it, and I'll go boating together when the time comes!" This Wu Daxuan has some ways, and there will be some benefits with this Wu Shengxi, Lu Hong is naturally full of words, and the two chatted for a while before breaking up.

After that, Lu Hong and Qin Tianmin went to Fei County, however, what made Lu Hong a little anxious was that the first-class resource collection system did not find any particularly rich minerals in Fei County, and after careful investigation, they found two small coal mines in Chaibuzhuang and Wanyao, Qin Tianmin also took the door of the county government at the moment, and his younger brother Qin Xiaocheng came forward to operate this coal mine, but these two coal mines are not open-pit mines, and the super industrial system provides a type of water conservancy ventilation pipe in addition to the M1 type concentrator, It can also achieve the effect of air supply and exhaust for the pit.

As for the follow-up sales problem, Qin Xiaocheng didn't need Lu Hong to come up with ideas at all, and soon reached a secret agreement with Mengyin Qian Yiduo, and the refined coal they produced was easily sent to Haizhou...... The reason for this is actually very simple, Mengyin's output simply cannot meet the demand of Haizhou Port, and the cooperation between the two sides is obviously a win-win result.

Ten days later, when Lu Hong returned to Mengyin to pack up and prepare for the trip, Wu Shengxi hurriedly came, saying that Wu Daxuan was entertaining the distinguished guests and asked him to go to the yamen quickly, which made Lu Hong, who was preparing to travel, also quite curious......

"Sheng Xi, who is here, Lord Wu looks very important!" Lu Hong naturally did not let go of the opportunity to gossip first, this knowing oneself and knowing the other is obviously a must, and today Wu Shengxi still has a book in his hand, Lu Hong inadvertently glanced at the title of the book, but he was also taken aback, and wanted to come over to take a look, but it was Zheng Guanying's "The Danger of the Prosperous Age", he looked at the cover over and over again, this magnificent work that had a profound impact on this era has appeared......

Wu Shengxi saw Lu Hong's strange expression, this book is not easy to get, but it was given by the distinguished guest who came today, "Brother Lu, have you seen this book...... Today's distinguished guest is Shandong Xuezheng, Qingliu celebrity Huang Tifang! ”

When Lu Hong heard this name, he always felt very familiar, and he heard Wu Shengxi introduce that Huang Tifang was from a five-jin scholar, but he immediately remembered that this was one of the famous "Qingliu Four Admonitions" in the late Qing Dynasty, and Zhang Zhidong and Zhang Peilun were all famous figures with him.

And this Wu Daxuan's connections are indeed not to be underestimated, as the protégé of the Qingliu boss Weng Tonggong, it seems that he does have a lot of connections with other Qingliu cadres, but he doesn't know what to tell himself to do? Don't you want to recommend yourself...... It's just that the clear stream of this era, the evaluation in history is mostly the likes of the eye, the master and the low, it's really not good, but I don't know what kind of character this Huang Tifang is!

Lu Hong had a lot of thoughts all the way, and when he arrived at the back office, he heard the beautiful string music of the pipa and the guzheng coming from the main hall from a distance, and when he arrived at the main hall, to his surprise, it was not Wu Daxuan who was sitting in the upper position, but a little old man with a short beard, inverted eyebrows and small eyes.

On the throne on the left, Wu Daxuan saw Lu Hong and his nephew early, beckoned them to sit down in the opposite position, today is obviously a private banquet, and there is no one else to accompany him...... And at this moment, in the main hall, a woman with an elegant demeanor is sitting in front of a guzheng and playing emotionally, with smart techniques and graceful figures, and a song of butterfly love flowers is even more lingering, this scene makes Lu Hong also feel quite wonderful, not inferior to the scene of the concert in later generations.

Zheng Zheng two endings flew away, the woman suddenly stood with her head bowed, and saw that she was wearing a burgundy makeup gown, a dark green gold thread skirt that dragged the floor, a hibiscus bun on her black and shiny hair, a beaded flower in her light and slow cloud temples, a gold bracelet on her hand with a skin like clotted fat, and a jujube red embroidered lotus sachet hanging on the yellow thread tassel on her waist, which made Lu Hong, who had seen a lot of Mengyin aunts and aunts, feel a little amazing......

"Good...... Good...... Okay......" Wu Daxuan had already shown a fugue look, patted the table and shouted loudly! Lu Hong couldn't help but be a little strange, he didn't come to the yamen to rub Lao Wu's food once or twice, and there were often singers and dancers to play and sing, in comparison, this woman's skills were really good, but it wouldn't make this old Wu so crazy! However, the flattery below immediately made Lu Hong realize that he had made a mistake.

"Huang Gong, I haven't heard of Shao Ning's niece's piano skills for more than a year, and it's still as natural as ever!"

Wu Daxuan, who has always had a horse face in Pingyue, said that he didn't know if he had drunk too much, but he slapped his ass vigorously, and the beautiful woman also walked to Huang Tifang's side and shook hands.

Huang Tifang, the little old man, has not been less than a lot since Lu Hong came in, this young descendant and the Wu Shengxi he has seen before can almost be said to be a completely different type, and now this private banquet, since Wu Daxuan brought him to meet, it can be seen that the instrument is very important, he and Wu Daxuan have known each other for many years in the Qingliu gathering in the capital, so they naturally know this person's vision......

He raised his head and swept over Lu Hong, and asked with a smile: "Shengqing (Wu Daxuan), this is the overseas student Lu Hong you mentioned earlier?" ”

Wu Daxuan smiled and nodded, Lu Hong saw this guy and immediately understood the meaning, hurriedly got up and bowed to salute, and said loudly: "The younger Lu Hong has seen Huang Gong, and he has heard the name of the four admonitions of the Qing Stream in the court, and now he has seen the true face!" ”

He was born in the army, and his voice was magnanimous, and his answer was also very decent, and even the woman named Shao Ning looked at this overseas student curiously, and Huang Tifang was obviously quite surprised, and looked sideways at Wu Daxuan with a slight smile: "Shengqing, I heard you say that this Lu Hong actually captured the leader of the Mengshan bandits, and I was still thinking about how powerful this should be...... But this young man is really good...... Nice......"

Wu Daxuan obviously had a lot of love, and immediately said: "Lu Hong's son is also a scholar of Western studies, and he has another wonderful theory in foreign affairs, I often talk deeply with him, and I appreciate it, Huang Gong might as well ask one or two!" ”

When Lu Hong heard Wu Daxuan's words, he was a little more grateful to the old man who had a straight face all day long, he really didn't expect that this old Wu would be so enthusiastic about recommending it for himself, and Huang Tifang heard Wu Daxuan's words, and put down the wine glass he picked up, he was also a little surprised...... It can be seen that Wu Shengqing values this young man very much!

He tapped the table, looked up after a while, and suddenly asked, "Lu Hong, in your opinion, if you are involved in this foreign affairs, what kind of questions will the old man ask?" ”
