As soon as this word came out, everyone's faces changed.

No one knew that Xu Yifan actually said two poems similar to proverbs when he first saw Deng Shichang! The gloomy and tragic atmosphere behind the poems is overflowing, but it also pushes Deng Shichang to a very high position!

Yang Shixiang's expression froze, Deng Shichang was known for his unorthodox among the Beiyang sailors, which was a nice thing to say. To put it mildly, it is unsociable and maverick. The most common thing to do is to take his German wolfdog for a walk on the coast, going back and forth to entertain, and it turns out that he will never touch himself. Strange words are also Cheetos. Originally, according to his qualifications, he had already registered the qualifications of the admiral, so he released a deputy general. Even the position of the four King Kongs under Ding Ruchang couldn't be squeezed in.

Xu Yifan is talking nonsense like this. Martial artists are all swordsmen licking blood, and they are the most taboo. The sailor taboo is more. Curse him like this. Can Deng Shichang not turn his face? The favor arranged by the good middle hall turned out to be a joke.

After thinking about it, I was relieved again, if these two poles didn't offend people everywhere. Wooing these generals of the Huai Department who are in charge of the army and the ship, this guy is really worthy of their fear!

At that moment, his mood suddenly relaxed, and he actually smiled at the corner of his mouth, looking at how Deng Shichang responded.

Of course, Xu Yifan also knew that he had said the wrong thing. However, he was full of Li Moran's heroic and righteous face at that time, and this poem blurted out, how can he get it back now!

He went to the door of the Taifu and became quiet for a while.

On Deng Shichang's square face, all expressions froze. Under the black eyebrows, the sharp eyes looked at Xu Yifan's face for a moment.

At the end, Deng Shichang, who had been cold-faced, suddenly smiled. Su then retreated and raised his eyebrows, and took a deep dip: "Thank you Lord Xu for saving your life...... If after his death, there can be these two lines of poetry on the stele. Deng Mou...... What a regret in this life. ”

Everyone present was speechless at this moment. The young Li Yun's face was even tighter. Yang Shixiang's face was ugly, and he thought of what Xu Yifan said to the students in the Martial Arts Academy.

These fools, how can they die if they open their mouths and close their mouths?

Regarding Deng Shichang's actions, Xu Yifan could only be solemn.

More than a year later, will you be able to catch up with the war that will push the national fortune to the bottom? Can such a national soldier be rescued by himself?

At this moment, the two-pole Daotai and the Beiyang Sailor's famous pipe belt for being stupid looked at each other and smiled. Arms to each other, a group of visitors, welcomed into the Xu Mansion.

～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～

A large map of the world printed and published by Tongwenguan was spread on the desk, and after sending Yang Shixiang and Deng Shichang away, Xu Yifan was lying here, looking at the map. Fingers slowly roamed over it.

At this time, the territory of China was still in the shape of a begonia leaf. Korea is a vassal territory of China. Taiwan is not separated by a body of water, thousands of miles away. The names of the surrounding countries look familiar and unfamiliar.

French Indochina, Netherlands and India, Spain and the Philippines, and British Indian states...... The Great Russian Double-Headed Eagle on the back. From the south to the north, this begonia leaf is choked.

The current Qing Empire is still barely supporting the shelf of a huge empire. It is said that after the self-improvement and Westernization movement, the modern water division was compiled, and two 7,000-ton ironclad warships. On land, there are 420 training camps that are considered to be combat-ready. The equipment is not bad, after the frenzied purchase and storage of the foreign governors. It is said that the reserves of various models of foreign guns also exceed those of Prussian Germany.

After the First Sino-Japanese War, this seemingly huge empire. Destroyed in one fell swoop by the small but strong neighbors to the east!

Since then, the country's situation has taken a sharp turn for the worse. Those who rule the bannermen are bold. The Western powers rushed up and prepared for partition. It's just that this empire is too big, and there are too many evil neighbors involved in devouring. Restraining each other did not make that partition the most terrible fact!

Does the flapping of butterfly wings make the future better or worse?

The cuckoo held the congregation candlestick and stood quietly behind him. Pursing his lips, he looked at Master Xu and made a comparison on the map with a distracted expression.

After a while, I heard the little girl whisper: "Where's Ben, where is Ben?" ”

Xu Yifan looked back, and the little girl's complexion was like a jade halo under the candlelight. Tilting her head to look at the map. The original wild surname, I don't know if it was consumed by the recent wealth. It's been a lot lighter.

He secretly glanced at the little girl's bulging chest, full of desire to tease. But thinking that the road ahead is boundless, although he has made up his mind to go to Nanyang to combine with the huge local overseas Chinese forces. But what the outcome will be, no one knows. All of a sudden, there was no interest.

He smiled at the cuckoo and pointed to the cluster of sheep eggs on the east side of the sea: "Let's go there first." How about going on an ironclad ship? You've got to pretend to be a man, you've got to have a cat on board. The sailor warship is a taboo for women to get on board. ”

The cuckoo nodded excitedly, his eyes shining: "Big soldier's ship, Xiao Yue'er...... I heard that Xiao Yue's books are all, and they are not as tall as our women. They are all descendants of five hundred boys and girls sent by the emperor of the Qin Dynasty, so they are considered a family, right? ”

Xu Yifan ignored her innocent words, and just groaned: "I also want to see it with my own eyes......"

The cuckoo pursed his lips, Xu Yifan has been in the inner courtyard recently, and he rarely has an easy-going and gratifying appearance. There was something preoccupied all day. Now that Luo Shi is not by her side, she wants to discuss how to turn the old man's heart around. There's no place to go.

That thousand-mile escape really scared this eldest lady of Qilinzhai, and now she lives a quiet and comfortable life. In addition to still thinking about his father, what else is there to remember?

The little girl's eyes were wandering and thinking about her own thoughts, but Xu Yifan was looking at the map bitterly, and her eyes were swirling on the Surabaya Port in the Dutch Landseal. The Li family of the bamboo network Longtang clan is in Surabaya.

This time, the Beiyang Navy Division released the two warships "Zhiyuan" and "Laiyuan" to patrol the ocean in the south, and they also had to dock at Surabaya to refuel coal.

How should I impress them?

Zhang Yu's voice suddenly sounded outside the door: "My lord, Lord Tang and Lord Zhan are waiting to see them back, are you meeting them in the flower hall, or are you in the signing room?" ”

Xu Yifan suddenly woke up from his thoughts and frowned: "I'll see them in the signing room!" ”

The cuckoo pursed his lips behind him and whispered to himself, "These guys, it's so annoying!" ”

～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～

In the signing room, Tang Shaoyi and Zhan Tianyou have already changed into big hats and dressed up. crowded in one by one, and saw Xu Yifan sitting on a chair. The two glanced at each other, snapped a dozen sleeves, and were about to go down to the court to attend the ceremony.

Qing system, the integration of the division and the road. became a Taoist, except to see the emperor. Theoretically, it is to see the middle hall, see the superintendent, or you can only meet without meeting. Tang Shaoyi and Zhan Tianyou are just acquaintances, and they are Xu Yifan's official subordinates. According to the rules, it is necessary to meet and attend the court.

Zhan Tianyou is honest, it's better to say that Tang Shaoyi is a well-known long-sleeved and good dancing figure among children studying in the United States, although he is formally presented according to the rules, but to give such a Taoist court ginseng is more disgusting than swallowing a handful of flies!

Xu Yifan waited for them to bow down. Jumping up, he stepped forward and grabbed their arms.

"What rules? Everyone knows my platform. Wearing a big hat that was ordered to train soldiers. It's not like everyone is making do with it. The two class talents are willing to ignore my yamen, I can't meet you too late, it's free, it's free! ”

Tang Shaoyi reluctantly smiled and said, "My lord's words are serious, since we are officially my lord's subordinates." As soon as Lord Xianhe got the Nanyang Xuanfu salary envoy from the Imperial Commission...... I don't know what kind of assignment the adults have assigned to us this time? Shall we go abroad with adults? ”

He said it politely, but Zhan Tianyou was stunned: "My lord, my subordinates really don't know what to use for adults." The subordinates learn technology and do technology. If you can't really do military training, you should let your subordinates go back to the China Railway Company. Let his subordinates also build more railways in the future. ”

Xu Yifan smiled, Tang Shaoyi was sleek, and Zhan Tianyou was straightforward. But both of them have one mind, they don't want to serve his boss!

He nodded Tang Shaoyi: "Shaochuan, what do you think of me?" ”

Tang Shaoyi swallowed and foamed, and said in a low voice: "Adults are young and promising. ”

Xu Yifan laughed: "You are a child studying in the United States of Zeng Wenzheng's Gonggong School, and you have spent half your life, but you are just a fellow acquaintance." As for me, Jinghua smoke and clouds fluctuate, I think you also know a thing or two. After the turmoil in the middle hall of the emperor, he closed the door. Liangjiang Liu made Taiwan, and the air was happy, and Li Zhongtang of Beiyang was afraid for a while. I got a special order for me to be free-handed, and I was ordered to train my troops! Now the next book is on the last one, and the Xuanfu salary committee member has been added, and the Beiyang warships are directly sent to the ocean! Although this military training yamen started from scratch, it has a hard brand and a new situation. You can step back and think about it, is this really a black road, or is it a promising situation? ”

His words went straight to his heart, and the current situation in Beiyang. The old and new Huai systems have become intertwined. Tang Shaoyi wants to ascend to the throne, it is really more difficult than ascending to the sky!

And Xu Yifan here, do you know if it's an opportunity? You must know that the chief copywriter of a yamen is the henchman among the henchmen. He, Tang Shaoyi, how could he have been such a confidant under the Huai bigwig?

Tang Shaoyi's heart was pounding suddenly, and in a blink of an eye, he thought that Xu Yifan wanted money or not, and now Beiyang was here to cover the sky with one hand. I couldn't help but swallow another mouthful of spit.

Xu Yifan somewhat understood his inner activities, waved his hand and smiled: "This time, you don't want to go abroad with me." I will send you an envoy to take the lead in building a newspaper in the Tianjin Concession...... I'll give you the money, and I'll give you the people. The chief writer of the newspaper, I have already written to Hunan to promote driving. I'll be in touch with you anytime...... Shaochuan, newspaper funds, I can give leniently. I'll give you your monthly public allowance...... Two thousand taels ......"

Tang Shaoyi's eyes widened.

He served as a commercial commissioner in Longshan, and his monthly output was only 1,000 taels. I feel that it is a pity to lose this messenger. This adult, when he opened his mouth, was a monthly public fee and allowance of 2,000 taels!

And from the heart, these American children are characters from foreign characters. In fact, I am unwilling to make up for those states and counties that are really lacking. I am still willing to do some errands related to foreign affairs.

In their hearts with modern education, no matter how the reality is destroyed. It is not without the dream of a strong country that is born in it.

Xu Yifan's following words shocked him: "I and others have emotional intelligence, and we have raised a sum of money, and there are always more than one million." These expenses are all in your hands. According to the matters I explained, arrange them one by one. I'm not in Tianjin Yamen, and the expenses are all up to you! These ventures, and then there is a steady stream of money. Shaochuan, this foreign business, you also know that even if it is Li Zhongtang's Beiyang, it is just a mess, not a donkey or a horse. We're going to show them something else! I'll raise the money, but I'm counting on you to spread it! ”

He casually took out a warp fold from the table and handed it to Tang Shaoyi. Tang Shaoyi's eyes widened and looked at Xu Yifan. When you open it, you can't take your eyes off it.

The things arranged on this fold are not complicated, that is, with a sum of more than one million yuan, a machine bureau was set up in advance, and a gun manufacturing bureau called the Repair Institute was attached. However, the regulations, the process arrangement, the organizational structure, and so on are all very well considered.

Xu Yifan looked at Tang Shaoyi's expression with his mouth wide open, and smiled secretly in his heart. This old Don doesn't know yet. He used to be in the National Development and Reform Commission, didn't he do this job? After 30 years of crossing the river by feeling the stones, I have tried what kind of enterprise system is upside down. Take out such a thing, a little case.

The most important thing is not this machine bureau, the system can be settled very well, and the money can be taken out now. However, in the situation of Beiyang, he wants to establish his own foreign affairs foundation. You also need a person who is good at dancing with long sleeves, can deal with officialdom and people, and understands the current situation of foreign affairs! Tang Shaoyi, a schoolboy who has stayed in the United States, has been the candidate for the first prime minister of the Republic of China in real history.

More than 100,000 funds are disbursed, and there are generous allowances under his hands. This kind of temptation, he didn't believe that Tang Shaochuan could resist it!

After a long time, Tang Shaoyi took a deep breath. solemnly: "My lord, my subordinates will do their best." This arrangement before and after, and what aspects to deal with, still need to be carefully considered...... As long as adults can hold on to this position. Subordinate......"

A confident smile actually appeared on his face: "The subordinates will definitely be able to do it properly, let the bigwigs who are famous for foreign affairs see what the real foreign affairs are!" ”

Xu Yifan smiled: "Go ahead, about the money, I will discuss it with you tomorrow and tell you where to pay it." Da Chao, you stay one step. ”

Tang Shaoyi turned away, and Zhan Tianyou, who had been listening to them in a daze, came to his senses. I want to hold my glasses if I am used to it. But he forgot the rules of seeing Shangguan and couldn't wear glasses. This touch is empty.

He watched Xu Yifan turn around with his hands behind his back and slowly paced indoors.

Zhan Tianyou could only stand obediently.

Xu Yifan said softly: "Da Chao, I remember that during the Battle of Mawei, you were on the Yangwei warship. The French sank you. You risked your life to swim ashore, didn't you? ”

Zhan Tianyou's expression froze, and he seemed to think of the desperate blood and fire again. Ten years have passed in a blink of an eye, and when it is said that the tragic situation of being blocked by the French fleet in the horsetail and beaten hard, it is still in front of me!

He lowered his head and sighed. And don't speak.

Xu Yifan's voice was also very soft: "You build an iron bridge and want to build a railway." Isn't it already chilling? Want to rely on this to save the country? Have you ever thought that if a foreign insult can't be resisted? What's the use of these fixes? Let foreign devils follow these bridges and roads and go all the way deep into our mainland? Not to mention the bridges and roads that are being built now, which one is not to borrow foreign money? Foreigner management? Buried your head in these technologies, but the big deal? ”

Zhan Tianyou wanted to hold his glasses again, but he didn't speak.

Xu Yifan said softly: "Da Chao, can you give me another chance?" Let's see if I can train a strong army and resist foreign insults first. Then slowly rectify and clean up the domestic chaos? When the survival of the country and the nation is intermittent. If you don't protect this breath, do you really have to wait for the Zhou Wu Revolution to break everything and then rebuild? At that time, what is the use of building more roads and bridges? ”

Zhan Tianyou finally spoke, still [***]: "My lord, since your subordinates are already under you, all your subordinates will do what you are told." ”

Xu Yifan smiled, these people who are proud of their professional skills. They are the most difficult to convince, because it is difficult to impress them with something. Zhan Tianyou is willing to stay and do things, which is already good. For the rest, let's see what the future holds.

In my current status situation, if you want to recruit a talent, you have to work so hard...... Alas, take your time. Don't die before you are ambitious.

He waved his hand: "Don't let go of the ocean this time, I'll give you a sum of money, and you give me to inspect modern military and ordnance technology!" It's up to you to decide what machines to bring in and what talents to hire. When the time comes, I will explain to Shaochuan that I will give you as much money as you want. Shaochuan is not enough there, I'll find a way for you! I don't ask for anything else. It's up to you! ”

Zhan Tianyou silently gave another salute, turned around and said goodbye.

Xu Yifan sat there dangerously, holding a teacup and wanting to drink it. In the end, it was just a self-deprecating smile. The stall is laid down, and Nanyang fundraising can only succeed and not fail.

Or he'll fall faster than he gets up!
