Across the ocean, New York, USA.

"Hi Tom. How many machines have been sold recently? Two Americans greeted each other on the road.

"Ahem, Pete. You don't know that those damn Oriental pigs are too demanding. One of the Americans hung his head: "I don't know where they got the testers." The testing was so strict that none of my machines were sold. ”

"You're always opportunistic. But what do these Orientals want to do, go crazy and buy medical equipment everywhere. Do they think they can invent a medicine that is more advanced than that of the United States? ”

"It's not just medical equipment, it's mining equipment. But everyone who can touch the edge of it. Could it be that these Orientals have discovered gold mines? ”

"Haha, who knows. Anyway, we just have to make money. I won't tell you, I'm going to look for Mr. Rong now, and I've found some nice equipment. ”

Inside a hotel in New York.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Pete. We're not going to work with you anymore. Yung Yonglan returned the list provided by Pete to Pete as it was: "Because you have provided substandard equipment twice." We spend a lot of time and testing money for this. ”

"No, no, Mr. Yung. This equipment will definitely meet your requirements. It's all carefully selected by me. ”

"Is it old again?" Rong Yonglan asked disdainfully: "In the East, the most important thing we do business is credit and sincerity. But I don't see sincerity in you. Don't think we're a good fool. Please. ”

"No, no, Mr. Yung. I'm very sincere. Please give it another chance. I'm sure you'll be satisfied with the equipment this time. And I also contacted a company that had mining equipment. ”

"No, we won't be paying a penny more for the equipment you provide."

"I can pay for the test."

"Really? Mr. Pitt. Rong Yonglan raised her head and glanced at Pete: "I'm sorry that we don't even want to waste time on you." ”

Pete left disappointed. Rong Yonglan lowered her head and picked up another list and looked at it carefully. The emperor handed over the task of purchasing equipment to his father. And his father is very old, although the emperor asked the hospital to personally recuperate for his father. The complicated affairs of the university hall still made my father's spirit gradually weakened. As the eldest son, he finally asked his father to let him purchase equipment in the United States on his behalf. But there are more than 50 kinds of medical equipment alone, and there are more than 10 kinds of equipment list sent by Asia Mining to him when he left. It's been almost a month since she came to the United States, and when Rong Yonglan looked at the list of less than 30% of the equipment she had purchased, she thought to herself, I'm afraid that she won't be able to go back for the Chinese New Year.

"Lord Rong, why does the emperor use so much equipment this time." Rong Yonglan's assistant Jin Dating has long disagreed with this: "In my opinion, there are many devices here that cannot be used for a while. ”

"It takes more than a month to buy equipment from the United States just to ship it back. And the Qing Dynasty did not have the ability to manufacture these devices. Although it may not be used, but if it is used and it is not, it will take more than two months to buy it temporarily. The emperor is afraid that he will waste time needlessly because of equipment problems. Rong Yonglan looked at Jin Dating and laughed: "In the final analysis, these are either experimental equipment or treatment equipment, and in the end, they are not going to be put in your Beijing Grand Medical Hall, and in the end they are not cheap for you." ”

"Of course, I hope to buy them all, in fact, several of our classmates have some ideas and want to do experiments to prove them. Well, you don't know, several of my other classmates in the Beiyang Military Medical Center want to apply for transfer to the Beijing Medical Center. ”

"When we have all the equipment purchased, let them all come. This time, the emperor asked you to come out with me, because he was afraid that I, a layman, would buy nothing. You see what equipment you need to add, and we will buy it all at once. ”

"Really, I still want to buy it." Jin Dating was a little embarrassed after speaking.

"Give you the pole, and when you get there, you can climb up the pole. Write it down and buy it all. ”

"That Lord Rong, there is ...... on this money"

"The emperor said that money is a matter of his heart, so we just have to buy it." Rong Yonglan looked at Jin Dating: "Do you know what the emperor told me before going out?" ”

"What did you say?"

"The emperor of the Qing Dynasty said that no matter how poor you are, you can't be poor in education, and no matter how hard you are, you can't be hard in scientific research. The Qing Emperor also said, you can study whatever you want, the Qing Emperor is not afraid that they will spend money, but he is afraid that they will not think about it and do it. A young assistant said to his teacher.

The work of the older teacher, who was bowing his head to do the experiment, only paused slightly, and then resumed his work: "Their emperor really said so. ”

"Yes, teacher. You know that the people who have been shopping around in the United States for medical and mining equipment lately are Qing people. And I heard it with my own ears from Mr. Rong, who is in charge of procurement. The young assistant was a little excited: "Teacher, let's go to Qingguo, it's better to get the support of the emperor of a country than these rich people in the United States." ”

"Qingguo? That ignorant and backward country? The teacher didn't look back, still basking in his experiment.

"Teacher, don't you understand the ostracism you have been subjected to in the United States for so many years? You don't have a chance in the U.S. anymore. ”

"Then there is Europe, there is Britain and France or Germany, these are better than the Qing country."

"Europe? In their words, teacher, do you think they will support you in doing these crazy experiments? If only they were profits. And Teacher, your experiments are unlikely to bring them any profit. ”

"Will the Qing Emperor think that my experiments will bring him profits?"

"That's different, teacher. Do you know what the standard for purchasing equipment in the Qing country is this time? Equipment that may be used in the future and equipment that may be useful in experiments. If these devices are not used for experiments, will they rust there? And they also have to go to the UK to buy equipment, the reason is just that the new equipment proposed by Rong's assistant is only available in the UK. Teacher, does this mean anything? It means the full support of the Qing Emperor almost insanely. ”

"Blake, don't say any more......"

"No, teacher, please listen to me." The young assistant interrupted the teacher's words for the first time: "I think that the Qing Emperor's seemingly crazy support, precisely because they don't know how to invent and create, so they don't know what equipment is needed, so they can only buy it all." Because of the backwardness of the Qing Dynasty, they could not tell whether new inventions could bring profits. Teacher, as long as you can convince the Qing Emperor that your invention will bring him profits, then what you will get is no longer the experimental funds distributed to you by a consortium, but you will be supported by the wealth of a country. Teacher, is it not clear to you what this means? ”

The older teacher stopped what he was doing: "After buying so much equipment, can the impoverished Qing State still pay hundreds of thousands of dollars for experiments?" Blake, you're so naïve. ”

At that moment, a puff of smoke came out of the test tube in the experiment. "Damn, I still can't control the temperature increase." The older teacher was a little annoyed, and finally looked up, "Blake, we need to go buy some more experimental materials." ”

"Teacher, give up. This experiment will not be possible until you find new investors. Blake held his head and sat down decadently: "Because we don't even have money for dinner." ”

"What, to England. Shaochuan, are you sure this is sent by Rong Yonglan and there is no translation error. ”

"I'm sure, Your Majesty."

"Ahem, the cowhide is blowing up. Tell them that I agreed. If you don't have enough money, tell me. I'll just give it again. ”

"We have added $300,000 to the new list. This brings the total cost of the purchase to $1 million. The follow-up additional funds for the experiment and the construction of the factory will have to leave the same amount of money. In addition, 10 million will be left for Li Enfu. As a result, the loan from the United States is less than $3 million. Tang Shaoyi suddenly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, forgive Weichen for his courage." Let them stop, more equipment means more money. ”

"Do you remember what I said before they went out?"

Wechen remembered. The emperor said: Buy it back as long as it is useful, we are too far behind. ”

"yes, it's too far." Guangxu suddenly said firmly: "Let them buy it." ”

When Tang Shaoyi walked away, he walked in coldly and quietly.

"I'll plug in. Can you come in and make some noise? Guangxu, who was halfway through the batch, felt that there was a person in front of him. When I looked up, I suddenly saw Leng Jun standing in front of the table, and I was startled. Although I have given you the right to play directly before I do not need to pass on anything, you don't have to be so scary. For this black man who is dressed in black clothes and black pants all year round, Guangxu loves and hates. What I love is a person who can do it, and what I hate is "laugh and you will die".

"The slave was shocked, please forgive the emperor." Kneel coldly. Leng Jun was still expressionless, anyway, this was not the first time.

"What is the matter with getting up and talking?" Guangxu's face darkened.

"This time, Rong's purchase in the United States has attracted the attention of the Queen Mother. Suspecting that we had embezzled the treasury money of the Daqing Bank, bank supervisor Huang Dacong had been checking the bank's accounts for three consecutive days. Lord Lin asked the emperor to rest assured that the money would not go to the account, and there would be no mistakes. In addition, Prince Li also took someone to check the accounts in the household department. ”

Seeing that Guangxu nodded, he continued coldly: "Follow the clues left by Lord Zhou before going to the northeast." The minister intercepted a letter sent to China by a spy, and the intelligence said that this time the ...... of the Zhina, "Leng Jun suddenly realized that he had said the wrong thing."

"It's okay, keep talking."

"The amount of money spent on the purchase of the United States by the Qing Dynasty is beyond the scope of the Qing treasury. The spy reminded the government to pay attention to whether the Qing Dynasty borrowed money from foreigners, especially Britain, Germany, and the United States. ”

"Look at it, even a spy guesses better than our ministers. You should also know something about this, and I will give you the bottom line, this time the money was borrowed from the United States. ”

"The slave Xie Emperor trusts. If the emperor has no other will, the slave will retire first. ”

"Who said no. Laugh and go. "The Queen Mother finally has a move, although she won't be able to find out, but it is enough to make Guangxu scared. Just kidding, just relax. At this moment, Kou Liancai rushed in.

"Returning to the emperor, Gonggong Li asked the two little eunuchs to secretly investigate the source of the emperor's money to purchase equipment in the United States. Lord Leng was just right, and Xiao Dengzi, who heard the news, said that some of Lord Leng's guards also received this will. ”

"Are you sure it's my subordinate and not Lord Qi's?"

"It's certain, it's just who, and how it's teleported."

Guangxu and Leng Jun looked at each other, and their hearts were shocked. You must know that none of Leng Jun's subordinates were brought by Qi Yide, since the Queen Mother got Guangxu's whereabouts twice, Guangxu asked Leng Jun to re-select new and secretly vetted personnel. Even if he did this, he still couldn't escape the old woman's clutches.

"Our queen mother is really amazing. Don't alarm them. Guangxu set the tone. Guangxu thought to himself, I am a prophet, and I am still on the way. If the old woman's ability can be used to contribute to the country, which country can escape the poisonous hands. It's a pity.
