The backyard of the yamen of the Guangdong military government.

'The sunshine incense burner produces purple smoke, and the waterfall hangs in front of the river;

The flying stream went straight down 3,000 feet, and it is suspected that the Milky Way fell for nine days......

The crisp children's voice was loud, and three-year-old Liu Sheng was reciting ancient poems taught by his mother to his father. Liu Mengyao, the elder sister on the side, didn't put any snacks on it, and she didn't feel that her brother, who was two years younger than herself, could recite more ancient poems faster than herself, which was not a shame for herself. is holding a fruit candy stick with high interest and teasing the little brother who can't even walk......

Zhang Miaotong looked at her son with a smile, and gave up on her clever and eccentric daughter, and didn't say anything anymore. At least in front of Liu Xian, it is useless to teach her daughter. Two years ago, she felt that Liu Mengyao's liveliness seemed to be a bit too much, but she couldn't live up to having a father who doted on his daughter at home.

The breath of home rippled in the room, Zhang Miaotong, and Liu Xian, enjoyed this comfort very much. Since the start of the army, Liu Xian has not even had time to eat with his family, and it is the first time that he has stayed with his children and wife for two hours like today.

It's a pity that when the needle came to ten o'clock, Liu Xian still had to go out. The British and French consuls in Guangzhou came to the door together. Liu Xian is going to meet the guest!

'Your Excellency the Marshal. Liu Xian's name has been changed to marshal, and the title of this foreigner is naturally marshal.

'Today I am @ here to formally convey to you the official decision made by the London side regarding the Chinese civil war. ‘

'The British Empire will remain relatively neutral during the Chinese Civil War, provided that the Empire's interests in China are not harmed or violated. ‘

Bahrain finished speaking. Take a step back and bend down in a salute.

Cameron, the French consul on one side, stepped forward and said, 'Your Excellency the Marshal. Today I have come to convey to you on record the attitude of the French Third Republic with regard to the civil war in China. Distinguished parliamentarians, with an absolute majority of 92 percent, believe that your rebellion is a rebellion. It is immoral rebellion. The great French Third Republic will not enter into any relevant agreement with a filthy traitor, nor will it establish diplomatic relations at any level......

As Cameron spoke, his tone kept rising, and he looked at Liu Xian as if he were looking at a moral dwarf, full of a sense of superiority and tallness.

Liu Xian was not annoyed. The urine nature of the Gallic roosters determined that they would not sit idly by and watch this opportunity, and the French, who had already sent the Germans away from their own territory, began their military reconstruction work two years ago. They now have a professional army that is not inferior to the number of German standing armies, and the abundant funds of the usury countries have also made the French ironclad ships begin to look like eggs. Born without stopping. The next decade will be a golden age for the development of the French Navy!

Cameron's rhetoric was completely insulting, but if Liu Xian did not cross over, China in this era would not even have the qualifications to make France angry and hateful.

With a smile on the corner of Liu Xian's mouth, Cameron's words spewed out like a machine gun can't make his mood bad at all, just seeing the smile on the corner of Liu Xian's mouth becoming more and more sincere and calm, Bahrain and Cameron can feel this.

'Cameron, I'll give you a week to pack up your things and inform all the French merchants in Liangguang. A week later. If any French personnel of a diplomatic nature remain in the areas under our military control, I will immediately and forcibly expel them.

French merchants and foreign firms do not enjoy any preferential treatment in China, and all taxes and fees will be paid in accordance with the rules and regulations of our army for import and export business. Otherwise, it will be regarded as tax evasion and will be severely punished by the laws of our army.

Of course, you can also leave altogether! ‘

The British watched from the sidelines for the time being. Betting on both ends, Liu Xian was expected in his heart. The French's 'robbery' was also expected. I just didn't expect Paris to be so breathless.

So he didn't show any surprise, and he didn't have the slightest fear of Cameron's words. This was a big disappointment for both Bahrain and Cameron. They came with predictions. The best result is naturally that Liu Xian bluffed and showed his true colors under Cameron's words. Then Britain, France, and even the entire Western civilized world can breathe a sigh of relief.

But if life is unsatisfactory, nine times out of ten. Liu's reaction was the worst of all the speculations. Fearless and confident!

Foshan, Liang Yuan.

Huo Guangzheng was chatting with Liang Jiutu, the owner here. The latter is the head of the Liang clan in Foshan, a native of Jiaqing, now in his seventies, and a local celebrity in the true sense of Guangzhou.

Smart and sensitive since childhood, he can compose poetry at the age of ten, and has the reputation of "prodigy", but he has never set foot in the scientific field. He was only obsessed with reading, painting, writing and traveling in the mountains and rivers, and he had a deep friendship with the famous poets Zhang Weiping and Huang Peifang, and often gathered to sing and sing, and his fame spread far and wide in Beijing and Jiangnan.

His works include "Twelve Shizhai Poetry Collection", "Lingbiao Poetry Biography", "Wisteria Pavilion Wencun", "Fenjiang Essays", "Foshan Zhiyu", "Lingnan Trivia" and other generations.

Not only is he knowledgeable, but he is also willing to support future generations and educate talents.

In addition, Liang Jiutu is also very enthusiastic about public welfare, often donates funds for disaster relief, and opens Foshan Nursery, leveling the rocks in Yangchuangang to facilitate shipping, paving the stone road around the Tongji Bridge in Foshan, etc., and has a high prestige among the people of Guangxi and Guangzhou.

Qin Jun is actively wooing such people. He didn't mind at all because Liang Jiutu had three sons who were officials abroad, nor because his nephew and son-in-law Dai Hongci had just passed the Jinshi exam this year. And naturally, the situation is inexplicable, and it is impossible for Liang Jiutu to bet on behalf of the entire Liang clan.

This time, Huo Guangzheng entered Liang Garden, and was able to hold a banquet in Liang Garden, and invited the gentry of Yangcheng. If it weren't for the hundreds of soldiers behind Huo Guangzheng, Liang Jiutu would have agreed if he was confused.

When it comes to poetry and painting, ten Huo Guangzheng can't talk to Liang Jiutu. The cultural levels on both sides are not on the same line at all. So Huo Guangzheng talked to the old man about public welfare undertakings, building bridges, paving roads, and dredging river transportation.

The latter is not mentioned, only the former topic, the two have been talking for more than an hour, Liang Jiutu is still in good spirits, and his words are very speculative.

It is said that China has had 'charity and public welfare' since ancient times. When the imperial court was at its peak, it would allocate funds for this. Nursing home, nursery hall, Anjifang, nursing home, Futian courtyard, drain garden, pharmacy, pharmacy, etc. All were welfare charities in ancient times. All over the country. From babies to lonely elderly people, from living in a place to taking medicine when they are sick. Both. But in the Qing Dynasty, all the horses were together.

The Qin army had a Boy Scout many years ago. These children, who have been adopted since childhood, are 100% loyal to Qin Jun and Liu Xian. Therefore, Qin Jun is naturally involved in the charity of young children, and those lonely and widowed elderly people also have welfare homes, only for the beggars who were all over the streets in Guangzhou before, it was ruthless and ruthless. If they are caught, as long as they are sharp and not very old, they will all be stuffed into the boat. Shipped to Lanfang.

The number of Han people in the latter is still too small, and the number of Han people in the entire territory is only three or four hundred thousand. The Qin army was already desperately searching for 'proletarian brothers' and sending them to Lanfang. But the time is too short, and the effect is much worse than that of the government's power migration. Great Lanfang, even three or four million is far from enough.

Borneo is the third largest island in the world, covering an area of more than 700,000 square kilometers. Even if all the territory is not occupied by the Lan Fang family, Lan Fang's current territory is two times larger than Guangdong. With such a large territory, a population of three or four hundred thousand is simply drizzle. Only when a few million people have moved over can this territory be considered truly Han Chinese.

"Beggars. Not all beggars. The old gentleman has been doing good deeds for many years, but he doesn't know the things at the bottom, and the evil of the beggars among those beggars is not too much.

Naturally, such groups must first be cleared up. ”

"Outsiders spread the word that our army is extremely evil. The beggars don't let it go, it's really absurd. In the near future, the Guangdong Military Government will launch the "Yangcheng New Newspaper," and some things will be published on it. The old gentleman will know cause and effect then. Huo Guangzheng smiled and explained some vicious rumors to Liang Jiutu in the market.

His expression was calm, and he looked at it like a floating cloud. I was not at all annoyed by the malicious slander of the secret enemy.

Liang Jiutu took a closer look at Huo Guangzheng in his heart. It seems that this man is young and in a high position. Not only because he is Liu Xian's cousin, but also because of his talent.

With such a magnanimous mind, Liang Jiutu does not think that Huo Guang is a mediocre talent who has risen by nepotism.

"As for those young beggars with sound hands and feet, they are transported overseas, not sold to foreigners' territory as piglets. Instead, it was thrown into Lanfang's territory. ”

"The old gentleman should know the land of Lanfang. The land here is rich and rich, twice the size of Guangdong, and the population of 300,000 or 400,000 is so small. Even if you ship millions, it's not enough! ”

……

At five o'clock in the afternoon, the guests began to arrive one after another.

Liang's garden is famous all over the world, and later generations are listed among the four major gardens in Lingnan. It's a good idea to see how the style is.

These rich gentry on the ground in Guangzhou, who came to the door with invitations tonight, if they change the time and change the characters, and come to Liangyuan for a night banquet, it will really be a beautiful thing. Now, they are all worried, and no matter how good the scenery is, they can't see it in their eyes.

When Huo Guangzheng appeared in the hall, he saw more than 30 gentry and celebrities, three or five of them talking together. None of them looked good! Of course, these people all smiled the moment they saw Huo Guangzheng come forward.

He was really loyal to the Qing Dynasty and regarded Liu Xian as a shameful thief, and he had already run away. No matter how backbone you are, when you receive a post, people won't come. If you can come here, no matter how much hardship you have, the bones are no harder than knives.

"Guangdong is known as the world's most bloody place, and Yangcheng is the first county in the south. Wealth is like a cloud, and the rich are not poor. My handsome family has been looking up to for a long time! ”

"But don't get me wrong. I, the Qin army, will not be filthy enough to take away the property of good businessmen and good people, let alone ask you to use money to buy peace. But I feel that if so much silver is put into industry, it should rise my fortune in China! ”

"This is a great change that has not been seen in 3,000 years, and it is a foregone conclusion that the west is strong ......and the east is weak.

Huo Guangzheng finished his words, and today's night banquet is to clearly send a signal to the business community of the two regions, Qin Jun prospers business and encourages the private sector to start construction and set up factories! You rich people, don't be a comprador for foreigners, you can do it yourself...... (To be continued......) R1292
