From the middle of the year, the Beiyang Yamen took the two million taels of road construction money of the Navy Yamen by virtue of the "worries of the East", and began to build the railway, and the household began to complain about the embarrassment of the money. After a long time, it wasn't Weng Changshu who spent the silver, it turned out that all the silver was taken by Beiyang to repair the railway and buy ordnance, and suddenly the scolding fell to Li Hongzhang in Tianjin, as if all the silver in the world was spent by him Li Hongzhang.

Here Li Hongzhang made an excerpt to ask for the latest Amstrand rapid-fire guns for the ships of the Beiyang Naval Division, and there was a group of officials who asked to reject it, and there was a reason why the world's silver salary could not be used in Beiyang, that is, in this limelight, an excerpt from the Korean Unified Prison Office, but it set off waves in the imperial court, and this excerpt is also simple - please build the railway to Shengjing and connect with the Guanwai Railway, so as to consolidate the separation of the feudal domain and solve the Donggu.

Okay!

As soon as this fold was handed over, the officials immediately found the reason, and they all folded up in agreement, these years have not been talking about whether the Korean feudal domain is solid, it is a matter of the ancestral land, and the Qingliu who were originally dissatisfied with the Beiyang "the world's salary and the benefit of one side", at the behest of Weng Tong and Zhang Zhidong and others, have talked about the importance of the Korean feudal domain in the DPRK, not to mention that "the feudal domain cannot be consolidated without railway communication."

The officials and Qingliu talked about it, and the emperor saw that the situation had a great momentum of disagreement, although he wanted to send the money to North Korea. But Li Hongzhang's excerpt mentions it clearly: "Road construction has been carried out." Don't give up halfway." So as in the past, Guangxu, who encountered a problem, kicked the ball to Cixi, and the Empress Dowager Cixi, who took the ball, also knew that it was difficult to disobey the public. Fortunately, I already had a plan in my heart, and besides, the original Luhan Road was originally for the purpose of balancing, and as for the "worries of the east", it was secondary. One is to agree that the Korean construction of China is "necessary to consolidate the separation of the feudal domain", but at the same time, it is also said that the Korean road should be a branch line of the internal and external railways, and since the internal and external railways have been repaired, the exhibition line is also indispensable, and it also encourages "ministers and ministers, big and small, to work together and unite state affairs".

Another edict was sent directly to Li Hongzhang, asking him to discuss the railway exhibition line with the Korean Unified Supervision Office. In other words. Cixi resolved this problem in a few words, leaving the Qingliu Party speechless. On the other hand, the Empress Dowager Cixi ignored one point, she stabilized her footing for herself, but she could not make up for the Qing Dynasty's dissatisfaction with King Alcohol and Li Hongzhang, nor could she change the differences between the Qingliu and the princes and military forces and local powerful factions, but this balance and mutual restraint was exactly what she needed.

If it is said that in the whole matter, the only thing that she has not considered is that the position of the commander in the DPRK is leveled to the same position as the Beiyang Minister Yamen, perhaps others are not aware of this problem, but Li Hongzhang, who has been up and down in the sea for decades, realized this problem at the first time.

Here, the imperial court kicked the construction of the railway in North Korea to the two yamen, and ran the railway on its own, and Li Hong, as the minister of Beiyang, didn't smell the five flavors, so after the edict came down, he immediately recruited his staff to ask questions.

"Quan Shuai,"

Zhou Fu looked at Li Hongzhang who was holding a teacup and said,

"Since the matter is discussed by the two yamen, and the Korean railway is the exhibition line of the internal and external railways, it should be decided after the railway is repaired to Shengjing!"

"I'm afraid that in this way, Tang Ziran will definitely be dissatisfied."

Zhang Peilun said on the side,

"If this matter is not concluded quickly, I don't know how much chaos will be caused, and if it affects the construction of the road......

As he spoke, he looked at Tang Tingshu and Sheng Xuanhuai, now the two of them are in charge of the railway, what are their opinions?

"My lord, this road is constantly puzzled to North Korea!"

Afraid that Zhang Peilun would say the idea of relieving the road to North Korea, Sheng Xuanhuai, who was finally fighting for road construction, would quit, and hurriedly refuted.

"The imperial court allocates only two million taels a year, and the road is only more than 70 miles with this money, if the money is released to North Korea, I am afraid that it will be difficult to complete this road without ten or twenty years of work, and the internal and external railways will be suspended, and they will be taken by others!"

Sheng Xuanhuai's words suddenly stuck Li Hongzhang's life, the reason why he fought for the road money to build the internal and external railways was to suppress Zhang Zhidong, otherwise a few years later, the world would talk about foreign affairs, I am afraid that only Zhang Nanpi will be known, and how can he Li Hefei, and besides, if the railway is built for ten or twenty years, how many changes will there be in these ten or twenty years? How much trouble do you get into?

But this road construction is not to build it if you want to build it, you need silver, if the road is solved in North Korea, I am afraid that even these dozens of miles of railway will not be built this year, nodding silently, it is considered to be in agreement, but Li Hongzhang's brows are tightly locked.

"How can this be true? If there is no Beiyang for him to support him, how can he be the emperor of North Korea, Lord Zhongtang, in the opinion of his subordinates, since the imperial court ordered him to consult with the Yamen, he ordered him to come to Tianjin, and after he arrived in Tianjin, he asked him face to face to see how he answered! ”

Regarding Zhang Shiyan's Jianyì, Li Hongzhang, who is inconvenient to speak outright, cannot echo it, so he can only remain silent, but his face is full of disappointment with his children and nephews.

"Among them, Ziran is not bad!"

However, Tang Tingshu, who had been silent, said a fair word on the side.

"Now that both the north and the south are building railways, and they are in charge of North Korea, and they want to build railways to consolidate the feudal domain!"

"Tang Ziran is not a presumptuous person."

Zhang Peilun's words have a different flavor, after all, he Tang Ziran has a precedent for abolishing the monarch in North Korea, and what this kid does will always be unexpected.

Shaking his head gloomily, Li Hongzhang then continued to ask:

"Tell me, what is Tang Ziran's idea for this excerpt? Could it be that he is opening his eyes for him? ”

The reason why Li Hongzhang said this sentence was because of Tang Haoran's relationship with the shogunate, if he really opened his eyes for Zhang Nanpi, then this matter would be ...... Xu is annoyed relationship, so much so that Li Hongzhang even spoke with three points of annoyance, so much so that he called him "Nanpi" out of order.

"This ......"

Everyone, you look at me, I look at him, but I can't say anything for a while, it's not easy to say, it may be possible to open your eyes for Zhang Nanpi, but no one can say for sure.

Just when everyone didn't know what to do, someone suddenly entered the door and said.

"Lord Zhongtang, Tang Shaoyi, member of the Foreign Affairs Department of the Korean Unified Supervision Office, asks to see you!"

Tang Shaoyi!

Hearing this name, Li Hongzhang was stunned for a moment, and then said.

"This Tang Ziran's movements are so fast!"

It's not so fast, the will of the court here just came down, and his people over there arrived in Tianjin, I'm afraid this person has already arrived in Tianjin!

"My lord, please come back to this person for the time being!"

Without waiting for the subordinates to finish speaking, the corners of Li Hongzhang's lips lifted and he said without waves.

"Back? Why do you want to go back? Invite him in, I want to hear how he explains to Tang Haoran! ”

Explain, of course Tang Shaoyi is not here to explain, not so much that he is here to explain, but rather to say that he came here to present the array, after entering the big signing hall, as in the past, Tang Shaoyi first kowtowed and saw the middle hall, and then took out the array written by Tang Haoran himself, which was on his behalf.

took the book and opened it, Li Hongzhang's brows were locked, and what caught his eye was "Lord Zhongtang, please repair the railway, and you have no intention of sharing ink with Beiyang", okay, this kid is not stunned, when he handed over the array, he knew the stakes, in this case, then why? So he watched patiently.

“…… According to the intention of the imperial court, it must be a meeting between the two yamen to discuss this matter, and those invited by the lower officials are only in name, and only in the name of road construction, can they issue bonds in Tianjin, Shanghai and Nanyang for the purpose of road construction,......"

Hmph, snorted coldly in his heart, Li Hongzhang understood what Tang Haoran meant, he wanted to take advantage of the balance of the imperial court, and further confirm the rights and responsibilities of the "unified supervision office", the queen mother made thousands of calculations, but did not count Tang Haoran's ambition in the railway, but not in the road, and the clear streams in the court and the central government were staring at the "world's salary to solve the Beiyang", and the court wanted to maintain the balance between the local and the central government, and in the end, the queen mother was sloppy, but everyone didn't expect that Tang Haoran didn't look at this road from the beginning, but what he focused on was the real power to borrow the road to raise fundsAnd, of course, the fact that since then, the Unified Supervision Office and the Beiyang Yamen have been on an equal footing.

The subordinate officials in the article are just humble titles, this Tang Ziran!

Why didn't you find out that he was so good at making plans in the past? Could it be that the past has always been hidden?

sighed in his heart at the essence of Tang Ziran's abacus, but Li Hongzhang was attracted by the construction of the array.

"An iron ore has been explored, with reserves of up to 100 million trillion tons, and the content of iron is as high as six or seven percent...... At present, the official money is embarrassing, and the Lord Zhongtang wants to repair the railway inside and outside the customs, it is the time to use steel, and in the opinion of the lower officials, it is better to jointly set up an iron factory......"

All right!

Now Li Hongzhang understood what Tang Haoran meant, and after a long time, he still wanted to get money from the old man! It's not about making money to build roads, it's about getting money to open an iron factory!

Ironworks!

Thinking of the iron factory opened by Zhang Zhidong in Hubei, I carefully checked the opening time listed in Tang Haoran's array - 18 months! However, the excerpt on the side of Zhang Zhidong is three years later, if the Beiyang Iron Works can produce iron before it, then ......

"Shaochuan!"

Li Hongzhang raised his eyes slightly, stared at Tang Shaoyi and asked,

"Besides this array, doesn't Lord Tang have anything else to say?"
