Ye Zhao and matchmaker, Rong'er returned to Guangzhou in the morning, coinciding with the opening of the Guangzhou department store, a short rest, Ye Zhao led the two beloved wives to visit the mall, this is the first department store on the land of China, the significance of commodity circulation is self-evident, even if the competitiveness of the weak business factory, can also be obtained through cheap and good quality goods, not to mention the good quality of goods, not to mention the good quality of goods, in the department store dazzling counters, people can shop around, buy goods more suitable for their own consumption level.

Guangzhou Department Store belongs to Taihe Bank, in fact, Feng Fei and Huang Wenxiu held it up, but now Feng Fei is still in North Korea, Huang Wenxiu invited Gao Qin, deputy director of the Provincial Patrol Department, to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony, and many celebrities from all walks of life in Guangdong were present.

The department store is located in the prosperous area of Xiguan, and now Guangzhou is definitely worthy of the international surname city, and there are thousands of permanent residents in Xiguan and Taixi, as for the floating population such as merchants, pawns, sailors, and sailors, it is even more countless.

The department store is five floors high, it is the tallest building in Guangzhou, and an elevator is installed, of course, this elevator is not the other elevator, but a shopping mall with a boiler room, a steam engine as a powered elevator, the Chinese call it a flow cage, introduced into the country by domestic craftsmen to modify, the bottom end of the safety gear has added a few more rotating grooves, the safety surname is higher, this is Ye Zhao's most satisfied place, this kind of safety elevator was invented by the Americans only a few years, and it is only two or three years to be applied in large buildings or shopping malls, but then continue to develop, This latest elevator may not be in your United States.

Department stores have a wide range of goods, said to use department stores, tobacco, alcohol, tea and sugar, toys and tools, clothing, shoes and hats, rouge gouache and so on, large items such as sewing machines, refrigerators, ice machines, bicycles, cameras, etc., especially refrigerators are expensive, now refrigerators are just a machine that uses ether as a refrigerant to make ice, and the commercial value is only in the ice factory to sell ice, although there are also large restaurants ready to introduce refrigerated food, but it is far away from entering the family, and only the richest class consumes it, Ye Zhao has already purchased a few.

Nowadays, refrigerators can not be produced in Guangzhou, but their own Chinese businessmen have been eyeing its market, feeling that the future of household is promising, planning to recruit craftsmen and technicians in Taixi to improve, as for the camera, there is an optical laboratory in Taihexing, the production is no problem, then again, refrigerators, cameras, now the East and the West can not be produced on the assembly line, but by manual machinery piece by piece, the most embryonic stage, there are technicians and scientific research scholars to guide, Chinese craftsmen began to learn to manufacture or make it more difficult than the assembly line, However, it can master its essential manufacturing technology.

Of course, the so-called washing machine is just a wooden hand-crank, the structure is extremely simple, six blades are installed in the wooden tube, and the handle and gear transmission are used to turn the clothes inside the tube, so as to achieve the purpose of cleaning clothes.

The first washing machine appeared in Guangzhou, and there was no mention of Ye Zhao, it was the Chinese craftsmen who figured it out themselves, which made Ye Zhao very surprised, and even more gratifying, the efforts were not in vain, these Chinese craftsmen who like to tinker with new tricks have a place to use, and they really shine, although this small invention is very insignificant, and there is no high-tech content, but at least it is a beginning.

Today may really be Ye Zhao's luck, a surprise is coming, equivalent to the matchmaker, Rong'er came back from the shopping spree in the mall, Huang Wenxiu's letter was transferred to the palace by the Internal Affairs Bureau, but it was Mr. Faraday's tall Mr. Sanchez who made a small alternator, although it quickly caught fire and burned down, but Sanchez said in an excited tone in the letter that he had found the trick, listed a bunch of potential energy formulas, and said that this failure was mainly a problem of the rotor pole disconnection, saying that there would be another month, He will be able to make a generator that has a use value.

In fact, for Ye Zhao, who has studied modern advanced physics, and his theoretical level and practical ability have been greatly exercised under European-style education, in today's Guangzhou, with his financial and material resources and the help of many scientific research technicians, it is not difficult to build an alternator, he even wrote sketches to Sanchez, and even made a small motor with the principle of alternating current power generation by hand, which is very inspiring to Sanchez, and it is not possible that Sanchez keeps calling Ye Zhao a mentor in his letter.

Ye Zhao naturally went to Xiguan, met with Sanchez and encouraged a few words, and talked about some ideas, and when he returned to the palace, it was already time to hold the lamp.

Ye Zhao is undoubtedly very excited, once the generator comes out and is widely used, the development of Guangzhou and even the south of the country will leap to a new level, in the competition with the United States in the depths of his heart, the Chinese people's thinking is naturally not as open and active as the Americans, and the gap in the popularization of science is not small, but the reliable new technology makes up for these gaps little by little.

Of course, there is no second person in this life who knows what is in his heart. Who would have thought that the most powerful opponent in the heart of the regent, or the rival partner, would be the small American Flag State that has been in trouble since the founding of the country less than a hundred years ago?

…… Rong'er went to Guanyin Mountain with a big bag and a small bag, there were gifts for her sister and the queen mother, and there were also fun things to show off to her sister to boast about, she had two books left in her sister's palace, and went to pick them up by the way, and went to school tomorrow. Rong'er was amused, and said in her heart that there is no such husband, teaching people to lie all day long, but she also had all her troubles, and she got into the carriage and left.

Ye Zhao took a bath, and then wandered to Ziwei Pavilion, who knew that the matchmaker was not there, listening to the little maid, but she went to chat with the old lady.

Ye Zhao had no choice but to go back to the room, although he was not in North Korea, Rong'er's little guy had already helped Xianggong to finish the matter of Shawa and Hua Ji, and the two of them were Mei Ji and Gege who officially became the prince of the palace, but the prince was not in Guangzhou, Hua Ji and Shawa did not dare to enter the palace to live, and the five wives and concubines did not even speak today.

Lying on the soft couch, in a daze and half-asleep, the little maid was outside to pray, and the red master was back.

Ye Zhaoteng sat up immediately, and rushed out of the house, and then felt funny, how did he feel like Sava heard that he had a general reaction to see her, but sometimes, it seems that he does feel that the matchmaker is his dependence, maybe no matter how strong a man is outside, he hopes to have a spiritual harbor to inhabit it.

For the matchmaker, it is not only admiration and respect, but also an indescribable attachment.

Ziwei Pavilion is full of light, the furniture is gorgeous, in front of the gilded dresser, the matchmaker is reading the newspaper, she has obviously taken a bath before asking the little maid to inform Ye Zhao. After bathing, the dark cloud bun is untied and scattered, the beauty is shocking, and the matchmaker with shawl hair makes Ye Zhao's mouth dry. Looking down further, the red silk silky pajamas and pajamas looked very soft, under the pink chin, the snow was greasy, the temptation was indescribable, and the small colored beads embroidered slippers were pulled, and a pair of delicate little feet loomed under the red satin trousers, which seemed to control Ye Zhao's heartbeat, and it was fast and sparse with the shaking of the red satin.

"What are you doing?" The matchmaker looked at Ye Zhao helplessly, this husband who always looked like a little pervert in front of her.

Ye Zhao coughed dryly, and hurriedly gathered his mind, but saw that the matchmaker was reading the article of the Cantonese newspaper about his inspection of Fujian, and the efficiency of the newspaper industry today is not low, and the reporters came back early, but they didn't want the entire front page of today's Cantonese newspaper to be a report on the regent's inspection of the countryside.

Since the article praises the regent as the first great sage in ancient times, as if the three emperors and five emperors, there has never been such a virtuous king as the regent, of course, some comments quote the regent's holy theory, and the analysis is also reasonable, such as about the duties of the officials, about the jurisprudence, and about rural development, all of which more correctly reflect Ye Zhao's intentions.

To tell the truth, in today's era of high imperial power, allowing newspapers to publicly comment on the king's comments on the king's edict is already a great progress, and the pen for writing articles must be pondered word by word, I am afraid that the praise is not so appropriate, not to mention that Ye Zhao's move has made the newsprint industry one of the inspiring, and it is a great encouragement and stimulation to the entire industry, even in private, how can anyone say bad things about the regent? Not to mention that after the reporter who followed the regent to inspect Fujian came back, he boasted that the regent was unique in the sky and on the earth.

The photos distributed are all long-range photos, which are relatively blurry, and after retouching, although it can be faintly seen that the regent Feng Shen is like jade, but if people who know Ye Zhao compare these photos with Ye Zhao, they will definitely not think that they are the same person.

Next to the "Yue Bao", there are several books, but they are the works of Confucian scholars in the Southern Dynasties, discussing freedom and people's livelihood, etc., which is the direction of academic development in the Southern Dynasties.

Ye Zhao said in his heart, the matchmaker is the matchmaker, who bought so many jewelry, jewelry, rouge and gouache, and the woman next to her couldn't wait to appreciate her booty, but the matchmaker was obviously not interested.

"I'm going to Changsha tomorrow." The matchmaker said with a deep groan.

Ye Zhao nodded slightly, the second town of Harwich entered Guizhou, and at the same time cleared several strongholds of the Qing army on the south bank of the Yangtze River in Xichuan, and the fifth town and the sixth town of Hongniang held Hunan, looking for an opportunity to give the Hunan army a blow, although Changsha was defeated, but Zeng Guofan's tenacity was very sufficient, and he was defeated and defeated again and again, but the Pingyuan army was not comparable to the Taiping army, and he could not be given a chance to turn over.

Ye Zhao thought for a while and said, "I am going to launch a campaign in Zhejiang, cripple and beat the Huai army, and force the six kings to agree to our peace conditions. ”

Temporarily negotiate peace with the northern country, make every effort to exterminate the Taiping army, and get the southeast half of the wall, so that the economic circle controlled by the southern dynasty can develop rapidly, and the momentum of the northern country can become a strong momentum, and the development continues, the longer the time, the greater the chance of victory against the northern dynasty, of course, this also depends on various external factors, such as the support of Tsarist Russia for the northern country, the attitude of the European countries, and so on.

Europeans have always liked to make war money, and during the American Civil War, British [***] fire dealers spared no effort to sell weapons from the South, not to mention the dispute between the North and the South in the Far East.

In any case, pacifying Jiangnan is his first priority, and only when he determines the southeast half of the wall can he be qualified to speak later.

And the Six Kings and their wise men will also see their intentions, but now he also urgently needs time to redress the army, buy weapons, and build arsenals and shipyards.

Not to mention that now Shi Dakai is fighting with the Qing army in Henan, and the sword is pointed directly at the Beijing division, and all over the south of the Yangtze River, the Qing army that fought with the Pingyuan army has suffered heavy losses, in Korea, the Pingyuan army is garrisoned, and the six kings have no troops to go to Korea to quell the rebellion, but they also have to fortify outside the pass to prevent the Pingyuan army from entering the Yalu River.

In this way, the northern country urgently needs time to breathe.

If another fatal blow is dealt to him in Zhejiang, then the peace talks will be successful, and Zou Kaizhi, the envoy of the Southern Dynasties peace talks, has learned very much how to get back the benefits that he cannot get on the battlefield from the negotiating table, and he will definitely slaughter the northern country with a knife.

Ye Zhao's only worry is that he doesn't know if he can take the prince to Guangzhou through peace talks, so he can only see Zou Kaizhi's ability.

"Three treasures, no problem." The matchmaker smiled and nodded, Ye Zhao's five chief officers, the matchmaker's favorite is Zhao Sanbao.

Ye Zhao smiled: "If you say it's okay, then it's no problem." As he spoke, he turned sideways and sat on the soft pier, but the matchmaker had no choice but to give way.

Ye Zhao honestly and unceremoniously sat next to the matchmaker's delicate body, stretched out his arms to wrap his arms around the matchmaker's slender waist, the matchmaker was as angry as an orchid, the peach cheeks and cherry blossoms were in front of him, Ye Zhao's heart was happy, and he kicked off the slippers, one by one on each side of his feet, and stuffed the matchmaker's embroidered slippers without saying anything, the matchmaker was startled, I didn't know Ye Zhao's intentions, the jade feet were busy dodging, and it was too late to come back to her senses, she had been stuffed in by Ye Zhao's toes, her soft little feet had to step on Ye Zhao's feet, and Ye Zhao's big feet stepped on the matchmaker's fragrant little embroidered shoes, was stepped on the toes by the matchmaker's delicate and silky little feet, and the right arm tightened the matchmaker's face, this ambiguous and absurd posture made the matchmaker's pretty face red, but Ye Zhao was a smirk.

"You, you've been in shape all day." The matchmaker snorted.

Ye Zhao smiled and said, "Who called my wife Guose Tianxiang," as he spoke, he glanced at the red lips of the matchmaker, his heart was hot, his mouth leaned over, and said, "Wife, I want to eat your rouge." ”

The matchmaker was stunned for a moment, blushing and stammering: "Go, go to bed." The voice was inaudible, the red curtain on the bed was hanging down, and the light was dim, it would be too unspoken to say that Ye Zhao was lightened in this room as bright as day.

The ruthless and resolute 10,000 enemies were bullied and stammered and pleaded, Ye Zhao's blood was boiling, but he smiled and said, "What are you talking about?" I can't hear it, be louder. ”

The matchmaker was so angry that she bit her red lips, but she had no choice but to stick to Ye Zhao's ear and whispered: "Go to bed, okay?" ”

"Good ......" Beauty Fairy begged, Ye Zhao's voice trembled, he stretched out his hand to pick up the snowy and crispy fairy concubine, and said in confusion: "You, you call me a good man, otherwise, don't go ......"

The matchmaker pursed her red lips tightly, and said in her heart, "Will you be a little pervert who can bear it?" Sure enough, Ye Zhao didn't wait for her to answer, and had already walked quickly to the bed.

The matchmaker was in her heart, muttered a pervert in her heart, and then blushed and buried herself in Ye Zhao's arms.

The red curtain hangs low, the big bed creaks, with the intermittent sound of crying and intermittent moaning makes people's blood flow, if you see the heroic posture of the matchmaker battlefield, but no one can imagine that the terrifying female god of war is soft and charming at the moment, whiskers, a delicate and soft snow foot stretched out from the red curtain, painted with a faint rose red, delicate, the toes are cocked hard, the extremely attractive curve, with the squeaky shaking and shaking, the charm is boundless............ On the afternoon of the second day, when he met with Yunnan Governor Lao Chongguang in Yin'an Palace, Ye Zhao still had some thoughts, and he couldn't conquer your heart, so he would conquer your body first.

I just sent off Hongyan, but I was stunned in my heart, when will I be able to really blend in with the matchmaker? Perhaps, it really has to wait until the name of the Qing country is cut differently? Otherwise, she was afraid that there would be some things in her heart that she couldn't let go, and some things couldn't figure out.

Shaking his head, Ye Zhao focused his attention on the two people sitting on the side of the sofa, one was Lao Chongguang, the former governor of Yunnan, and the one who came to meet Ye Zhao with Lao Chongguang was Li Guanghe, the same acquaintance of the Yunnan Town Side Hall.

Lao Chongguang had already made a good deal with Cen Tianhua, the former governor of Guangxi, and Li Guanghe, the governor of the border office of Pu'er Prefecture in Yunnan, was recommended by him to the post of deputy director of the Guangxi Patrol and Arrest Department before he came to visit the queen mother, the emperor, and the regent before he took up his post in Guangxi.

Now the governor has basically become a simple civilian official, and no longer concurrently serves as the governor, and of course, this patrol department has become the armed force that the governor hopes to master, Lao Chongguang went to Guangxi to take up his post, and recommended his old department as the deputy director of the patrol department, Ye Zhao was not disgusted by this.

Governors elected in Western societies also appoint their own people to serve as the heads of various institutions, just for the sake of government decrees. And now in the provinces of the Southern Dynasties, the provincial yamen and the governor are naturally in step with each other in order to be efficient, as long as there is a way to supervise, it will not hinder, as for the appointment of officials to supervise and prevent [***] is another problem, can only take it slowly, at least the current system, it is difficult to appear that the governor of a province covers the sky with one hand, and forms a small hill from top to bottom.

For Lao Chongguang, Ye Zhao encouraged a few words, and Li Guanghe, who has triangular eyes and a not very kind face, although it is unpleasant to watch, Ye Zhao will not judge people by their appearance, looking at the file of Li Guanghe in the official room, it is quite extraordinary, he has always been a military general on the border, and he has suppressed several ethnic minority uprisings in southern Xinjiang.

Of course, it has not been long since the officials' office implemented a detailed official file system, and most of the officials' previous experiences were filled in by the officials, and the water was too large to be accurate, and from now on, this experience will have to be filled in by the officials' offices in many ways, and the opinions of the provincial civil Enping Lieutenants are also an important part.

"The people of Guangxi are fierce, Futai must remember the meaning of forgiveness and benevolence, and reassure the hearts of the people." Ye Zhao admonished with a solemn face.

Lao Chongguang said in his heart I don't know if you are going to set me on the fire and roast me, Guangxi has always been out of the people, this one is not good, there is a change in the people, I am afraid that you will have to rely on me.

But naturally with a flattering face, even claimed to be.
