The carriage was circling around the city, and in the carriage, Mingxia's little face was pale, and Master Wang was a kind-hearted person, but when he thought of what he had to face, his body was still trembling.

"Where do you live?" Ye Zhao suddenly asked with a smile.

"Zhao Family Compound, No. 20 Xing'an Street." Mingxia drooped her little head and said timidly, after all, she had been in school for a few months and knew the name of the road sign.

Ye Zhao bowed slightly, no matter what, this is a national primary school, and his knowledge is naturally different.

"Go to Xing'an Street! Number 20! Ye Zhao clapped his hands.

The coachman outside naturally leaned his ears all the time to wait for the prince's orders, and at this time he immediately threw up his whip and exploded with a crisp sound, "Drive-drive-", the speed of the carriage increased sharply, but it was very steady.

Mingxia looked sideways at Ye Zhao in surprise, her eyes full of confusion.

Ye Zhao said with a smile: "Send you home, but I keep this deed, and tell your father, you have to go to school hard, maybe I will send someone to check the post in a while, if you are not there, I can ask your father for the hundred silver oceans." ”

"What is Chagang?" Mingxia doesn't seem to understand, and she doesn't know what Master Wang is doing when she sends herself home? Are you reluctant to support yourself with rice and noodles? I've never heard of such a stingy. But being able to go home makes my heart lighter.

Ye Zhao scratched his head and said, "That's it, that's it, in short, if your father sells you again, this will be a big trouble, you tell him, he will understand." ”

"Oh." Mingxia nodded slightly.

"Master, you, do you want me to come to my house in the future?" Mingxia suddenly asked, she also knew what the outer room was, but, I heard that the rich people bought the yard for the concubine to live in, and Master Wang wanted to live in his own house, but he was really a good person.

She didn't know how unseemly and stingy it was if Master Ruo really bought her as a concubine and sent her back to live in her house.

Ye Zhao was stunned for a moment and said, "Maybe." ”

"Oh." Mingxia whispered.

The carriage fell silent, Ye Zhao and the kid had nothing to say, and as for Mingxia, she didn't dare to speak even more restrainedly.

After a long time, the carriage finally stopped, and Ye Zhao lifted the curtain of the car window, "Hey, let's see, is it your house?" ”

Mingxia's small body crawled over and looked at it, with some surprise in her eyes, "Yes, look, that's my home." Little pointed to a large compound.

Ye Zhao smiled: "Okay, let's go down." At this time, the curtain of the car has been lifted, and the stool has been lowered.

Mingxia stood up happily, she was not as tall as the carriage, she took two steps out, she felt that something was wrong in a daze, and when she looked back, she saw that Master Wang was smiling and waving to her: "Go." ”

Well, Mingxia nodded, thought about it, knelt down, kowtowed, and then jumped out of the car. And Ye Zhao ordered a few words from the car window, and the blue-robed guard immediately followed, wanting to explain a few words to Mingxia's father, or even intimidate.

Ye Zhao also got out of the car, and watched the guards and Mingxia enter the courtyard from a distance, thinking that Mingxia's father would see her, and he was sad and happy.

After standing for a while, I saw a middle-aged man in ragged clothes walking out of the fence gate behind the guard, and Mingxia followed timidly at the end.

"Master, the little one kowtows to the master!" Mingxia's father was also very confused in his heart, some heartache, some joy, the heartache was that Mingxia must have been ruined by this old man Wang, he is really useless as a father, it is better to die; But I don't know what Master Wang did when he sent Mingxia back, did he buy ** with his daughter and gave Mingxia freedom? Well, that's another joy.

"Well, go back, tell Mingxia to go to school hard!" Ye Zhao said lightly.

Mingxia's father didn't know what Master Wang meant, so he had to kowtow and lead Mingxia back to the hospital, but Mingxia turned back one step at a time, for the first time in her life, she met such a good master, but she didn't know if she came to see herself.

Ye Zhao waved at her with a smile, turned around, and got into the second carriage.

Guan Wen was napping, and was suddenly awakened, and when he saw Ye Zhao coming up, he asked with sleepy eyes: "Lord Wang, have you arrived?" ”

"It's coming!" Ye Zhao sat beside him with a smile.

The carriage moved slowly.

"Brother, Guangfu Yinhao has a plan to go to Hengzhou to dig oil, and I depend on your support!" Ye Zhao said to Guan Wen with a smile.

"Dig up oil? What is oil? Guan Wen asked in surprise, now, he gradually felt that the general Wang looked like himself, and when it came to walking horses and playing eagles, he was called an expert, but this little prince was dangerous, eating people and not spitting out bones, three or two sentences, it might be some earth-shattering conspiracy, fortunately, now that he is in the same carriage with him, he will not come to harm himself.

Ye Zhao smiled and said: "Fierce fire oil, of course, you have to explore first, this foreigner's exploration team will arrive in a few days." He also said: "This fierce fire oil, there are many uses, refining kerosene, paraffin, and then you can make candles in large quantities, which are all white flowers!" ”

Guan Wen said with a smile: "The prince is playing the piano to the cow, and the lower officials really don't understand it." ”

Ye Zhao said: "In short, this is a technical job, others can't do it, I think so, if the exploration of fierce fire oil, Guangfu Silver will pay 10,000 taels of silver to buy out, what do you think?" ”

The official text's eyes lit up, what fierce fire oil? If it's a coal field, it's worth a lot, but what kind of thing is this fierce fire oil? Ten thousand taels? This is a beautiful thing for no reason!

Ye Zhao smiled again: "If the elder brother can't make up his mind, you can go back and think about it carefully." ”

The official text was a little unbearable on his face, he knew it, and it was rumored outside that the Yamen, the governor of Huguang, was the master of the shogunate, but it was really unreasonable!

"Lord Wang! Don't worry, I'll do this when I go back, can the lower officials not take care of my own business? ”

Ye Zhao couldn't help but glance at him a few times, this person is not simple, obedient, he actually knows that he has a share in Guangfu Yinhao.

But it's okay, things will be smoother, and he arched his hand with a smile: "Accept your feelings!" ”

The official didn't dare to say in a hurry, but how do you think that things don't seem to be as simple as the prince said? But in this world, there is naturally no regret about taking medicine.

…… In the study, two handsome little maids were carefully wiping the corners of the house with snow-white handkerchiefs to see if there was any dust, and when the general Wang suddenly came in, the two of them were so frightened that their faces were white, thinking that their hands and feet were slow, and they were delayed, so they knelt down in a hurry.

To say that the rank of the county king's mansion is not strict, at least these miscellaneous maids can occasionally see the general king, but even so, both of them are trembling with fear.

"The slave is guilty, and the slave is dead!"

Ye Zhao waved his hand helplessly and said, "Go out." ”

Turning around and sitting down on the incomparably wide gilded bookcase, Ye Zhao picked up the secret telegram he had just received, which had just been translated by Bakshi.

It is a telegram from Jiangxi Daying, a year ago, the telegraph line has been extended to Jiangxi Daying, and now for every move of Jiangxi Daying, Ye Zhao can instantly know everything and command remotely.

Therefore, war is sometimes the best lubricant for the development of the times, and Ye Zhao also knows that if there is no fierce war with the bandits, this telegraph line wants to be erected from Guangzhou to northern Jiangxi, but I don't know how much time and how much effort it will take.

At the very least, now the people know that this thing is not a soul banner that sucks the earth's qi, but helps the general king to send bandits, and no one dares to sabotage it.

One of the most important tasks of the local patrol battalion is to protect the telegraph line.

At present, the infantry regiments of the first and second towns of the Guangdong army are the main force of the Jiangxi battalion besieging the bandits in Nanchang, plus the Jiangxi border patrol battalion, there are about 10,000 or 20,000 brave troops from other provinces who come to help, and the artillery battalions of the first and second towns are also basically equipped with artillery.

In the message, Shenbao asked for instructions on the siege strategy, and even asked the general Wang to give an order to storm Nanchang.

Ye Zhao pondered, but approved the word "feint" on the message.

Now that the forcible attack on Nanchang, an important town that has been operated by bandits for many years, coupled with the strength of Li Xiucheng's troops, and the increase in the proportion of musketeers who have sent bandits, I think I also know that my family will definitely suffer heavy losses, and I must always find the most favorable opportunity.

What's more, even if he has the strength to exterminate the bandit army without much effort, what good will it do to him if the world is peaceful immediately? At that time, the six kings will definitely take their military power, will they not be able to rebel immediately?

Now, aren't you ready? More certainly, it is the forces that support themselves are not ready.

What forces support you today?

In the division of the old class, first of all, there was naturally the new bourgeoisie, including merchants and enlightened landlords.

Again, the people who have been bewitched by their deified self.

The third force is naturally the Cantonese army, including patrol battalions and other local troops.

Then there are some miscellaneous forces that can benefit from the reform in Guangdong.

However, if it is said that the bandits are pacified now and the flag is raised immediately, these forces are afraid that they will have their own thoughts, after all, when the war is initially peaceful, people will inevitably have their minds set up, and whoever provokes the war first will not be popular with the people. This is also the reason why both sides put the responsibility for the war on the opponent during the civil war.

And if you want these forces to unswervingly support themselves, you still need to be prepared from time to time, and exert influence little by little, such as the Guangfu Lecture Martial Arts Hall, which is brainwashing grassroots officers, of course, instilling in them the sense of loyalty to the family, the sense of honor of soldiers, the sense of honor of defending Guangdong and Jiangxi society, and so on; Another example is that the deepening of various reforms in Guangzhou will let the emerging capital forces know that they can protect their interests, and without their own strong backers, their gradually acquired social status will burst like a bubble.

The bright prospects for the development of the social model in Guangdong and Jiangxi are instilled not only among the soldiers, but also among the people. And the better Guangdong and Jiangxi develop, the better they will be, they will certainly be convinced of the bright prospects of propaganda, and this will be more direct and demagogic than the program of the bandits taking some empty mansions at will.

Similarly, Ye Zhao is also systematically sorting out materials, preparing to put his own social development model with divine brilliance, which is naturally ideological theory, without systematic theoretical guidance, all changes are just a flash in the pan.

Stretching his waist, Ye Zhao pushed open the openwork stained glass window, and couldn't help but smile, but saw that Grandma Jin Er came back gorgeously, with a red silk double-row plum blossom button shirt, silky red silk pants, the thin curve of beautiful legs looming, high-heeled red leather shoes, the willow branches of the slender small waist, and the sense of modern surname.

This bright red silky satin tailor-made shirt doesn't even know how many eyeballs it attracts when walking on the street in later generations, let alone how enchanting and beautiful it is to wear it on Grandma Jiner.

"Jin Feng, you come!"

Jin'er grandma looked over and saw that the old man was smiling and waving to herself, looking at the old man's smile was not like being funny, Jin'er grandma panicked, this, this will not be in broad daylight.

She came back from Foshan in the morning, went to her home, and just returned home.

But the old man couldn't help but listen to his words, and entered the study through the side door that led directly to the outside of the lotus building, and Grandma Jin Er closed the door and locked it again, and over there, Ye Zhao also closed the window.

The basket-painted glass windows are now impossible to see from the outside.

Ye Zhao sat down, pointed to the chair opposite the bookcase and said, "You sit too." "Looks like it's getting down to business.

Grandma Jin Er didn't feel a little disappointed, but no, panic is panic, but that also proves that the prince likes himself, doesn't it?

"How's it going? A lot of people know who you are now, right? Ye Zhao asked with a smile.

Grandma Jin Er was about to tell Ye Zhao about this, but no, the second wife of the Tao family and Miss Rong in the past have now become princesses, and this news can fly out like wings, especially the old history of the Rong and Tao families, which is even more well known. Just returned to his mother's house, just in time to visit the old and old, to see the princess return to the house, kowtow and ask for peace, that respectful not to mention, not long ago, with the father's posture of distant relatives, now it is flattering no, although the satisfaction brought by the power is very comfortable, but I heard my father say that the house is full of visitors all day long, this mother's house is almost unable to return.

In Foshan, it is even more outrageous, the prefect of Huizhou actually came to kowtow to himself, Huizhou is hundreds of miles away from Foshan, and this trouble, the people in the steel mill also know about it, and it seems that there is no way to do it.

I want to complain to the prince, but I don't know where to start.

Seeing that Grandma Jin Er wanted to speak and stopped, Ye Zhao smiled and said: "I've heard about you, in this way, you don't care about the steel mill, I'll leave it to someone else to take care of, you, you have more important errands." The board of directors of Guangfu Bank, you represent our shares as a director, executive director, even if the directors of this board of directors know your identity, they will not make some miscellaneous things, we don't find out, they will naturally pretend not to know. He also said: "Boss Wu learns more and cooperates more, but don't know how to play prestige, although you go, people will definitely look at you, but we must be modest and cautious, and respect people." ”

Grandma Jiner's heart is pounding, the director of Guangfu Bank? This is one of the most powerful positions in the Guangdong business community.

The lord wants me to be a spokesperson? Grandma Jin Er thought in surprise, and then listened to Ye Zhao's instructions not to play prestige with Boss Wu, to respect people, and so on.

Grandma Jin Er couldn't help but laugh, you know, if a few years ago, Boss Wu was in the minds of Guangzhou businessmen, that was a god-like existence, and wanted to tie up his business celebrities like carp across the river, how could Grandma Jin Er never dream that one day she could have something to do with the Wu family's business, but she also knew that she was just dreaming in vain.

But now, it is a transfer, but Boss Wu is going to slap himself, and the lord even instructed "Don't play prestige, respect people", as if he was afraid that he would put the princess on the shelf to bid for these most influential businessmen in Guangdong.

"Sir, I understand." Grandma Jin Er said in a coquettish voice, her eyes seemed to be dripping, and Ye Zhao glared at her: "Don't throw your eyes in broad daylight." ”

Grandma Jin Er couldn't wait to bite him, so she got up lightly, but she went around to the back of the table and leaned on Ye Zhao, eating and laughing, and her delicate red lips choked Ye Zhao's ears......
