The overseas division and the discovery of Australia greatly promoted the development of Tianjin, and the establishment of a branch and base in Tianjin by the Qing Dynasty Royal Navy gathered enough popularity in Tianjin, and in just half a year, Tianjin showed amazing changes

The snow is frozen, every household is nesting on the kang and chatting, and the small people rarely rest for a few days all year round, so they naturally take this opportunity to visit each other and contact each other. In the past six months, Tianjin has developed rapidly, and hundreds of industries have prospered, and they have also benefited, with surplus money in their hands, and the hospitality is naturally generous

The officials in Tianjin rushed to the Naval Academy outside the eastern city in a swarm of swarms in the face of heavy snowfall, and one after another the official sedan chairs, one after another, silently avoided them, resounding on the empty streets, making the people all over the city quietly talking, and no one knew what was going on.

Because the college has not yet been completed, the sixteenth elder brother Yinlu temporarily lives in a large courtyard near the left side of the college, he stayed in Tianjin for more than half a year, and the training is extremely boring, suddenly saw Yinzhen, Yinxiang The two were very happy, and they talked excitedly.

The old thirteen Yinxiang was hearty, from time to time to say some Nanyang to enjoy Yinlu, the two chatted happily, Yinzhen held the teacup and looked at people with a smile, and from time to time inserted two sentences, a room full of joy.

The rise of Sanzheng chat, but the guards outside came to report: "Master Shi is asking to see outside." ”

"Let him in." Yinzhen commanded casually, and then chuckled at the two of them: "The autumn wind is here." ”

As soon as he saw that Yinzhen was about to meet someone to talk about things, Yinlu got up and said, "I'll go and ask someone to prepare wine and food, and I have to accompany the two brothers to have a few drinks today." ”

Yinzhen smiled and said, "Want to slip away? You need to listen to Tianjin. ”

"Yes." Yinlu smiled bitterly at Yinxiang and sat down obediently.

Shi Shilun entered the house with a smile on his face, and said neatly: "Xiaguan Shi Shilun greets the fourteenth, thirteenth, and sixteenth masters." ”

"Sit." Yinzhen said with a smile: "Sixteenth brother, let someone prepare a brazier and a hand stove for Master Shi." ”

"Xie Fourteenth Master is compassionate." Shi Shilun bowed down, and then calmly sat down, he came here today with the idea of asking for money, the fourteenth master sold Luzon, and got a total of 30 million, even if it was leaked, it was enough for half a year's expenses in Tianjin.

After sitting down, seeing that Yinzhen didn't open his mouth to ask, Shi Shilun bowed and said: "Fourteenth master, in the past six months, the construction of forts, ports, colleges, factories and workshops, and post roads has been in full swing, and the progress is also very gratifying, but this silver is far from enough. ”

Yinzhen listened with a smile, Shi Shilun couldn't know that he would return to Beijing at the end of the year, he was so poor that he was a ghost, it was estimated that he still had at least hundreds of thousands of dollars on hand, he was not worried that Shi Shilun would make money and groaned slightly, so he said: "Lord Shi, don't burn fake incense in front of the real Buddha, have you heard that the fourteenth master has been rich in money recently, and he wants to come to fight the autumn breeze?" ”

"Hehe, the fourteenth master laughed." Shi Shilun said with a smile: "Fourteenth Master, the stall is really too big, this silver flows out like flowing water every day, and the lower officials now have a headache when they hear the silver, and I hope that the Fourteenth Master will be compassionate." ”

"Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and I don't have a silver mine." Yinzhen restrained his smile and said slowly: "Nanyang is also asking for money everywhere now, the cost of Karopa alone is several times higher than that of Tianjin, and the navy is a bottomless pit, and my financial director in Shanghai has never had a smiling face all year round.

Don't look at the fact that Luzon has sold a lot of money this year, but the expenditure is not small, and the Australian immigration alone costs 50 million, and I still have a gap of tens of millions. The New Year is the emperor's 60th birthday, so it is natural to celebrate it, but if there is no two million, I am afraid that I will not be able to take it. Because the situation in Nanyang is not completely clear, the matter of Australian immigration, the imperial court is only secretly organized, and it is not publicized, Yinzhen poked this matter out, and shocked a few people in the room for a long time, Australian immigrants want 50 million, how large is that immigration? Is it tens of millions of immigrants? Yinzhen paid out of pocket alone?

Yinxiang couldn't help but sigh secretly, the old fourteenth in the past few years, but the pen is getting bigger and bigger, the fourth brother, starling brother they are not at all able to back, the conquest of the South Seas, overseas separation, immigration to Australia, even the emperor Ama is unattainable, I don't know what the fourth brother and starling are fighting for?

Shi Shilun came back to his senses, got up with a solemn expression, straightened his clothes, bowed and said: "The lower official is ashamed, only to see a corner of the place, it is really a leaf obstacle, the fourteenth master rest assured, Tianjin development, the lower official will do his best, even if he tries his best to make a name for half his life, he will not hesitate." ”

Yinzhen nodded, groaned slightly, and then said: "Your reputation for half a lifetime is not easy to come by, and I still count on you to set an example for Qing officials." Although I will not increase the amount of money for you, but now that I have a spare hand, I can allocate it to you first, and with these two million, it will be convenient for you to turn around and make money.

In addition, Australian immigrants, more Tianjin to go to sea, there will also be silver allocation, port construction, can save a lot of Mu still difficulties, I will focus on the 'four constants, increase the amount of loans. ”

Shi Shilun was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "In this way, it will be greatly rich, and the lower officials will definitely live up to the expectations of the fourteenth master." ”

Yinzhen changed the topic, "Go to Nanyang, winter is the best, how long is the freezing period of Tianjin Port?" ”

Shi Shilun bowed down and said: "Back to the fourteenth master, Tianjin's freezing is generally from December to February of the following year, for a period of three months. ”

Yinzhen nodded slightly, Tianjin was frozen for three months, the Nanyang storm was three months, and the time to sail this year was only half a year, it seems that you have to find another port outside Tianjin, the location of Weihaiwei is a little off, Qingdao is a good port, but the road is a little farther.

In addition, the damage to the battleship caused by the port freeze is also very large, and the Beiyang Fleet must find another port for the winter, Weihaiwei is a little smaller after all, thinking of this, he said to Shi Shilun with a smile: "Lord Shi, silver, I will send the silver ticket when I return to Beijing." ”

"Fourteenth Master Xie is considerate, and the official will leave." As he spoke, he got up and shook again, and then retreated

As soon as Shi Shilun went out, the guards immediately sent in a stack of famous stickers, Yinzhen flipped through it, most of the officials in Tianjin were all together, but they didn't see the name sticker of Zhao Hongxie, the governor of Zhili, I thought it was not in Tianjin, seeing Bai Ziyun's name sticker, he couldn't help but smile, I hope that none of the six lifters of Yixue are in high school, he has arranged them to various factories and workshops in Tianjin, this Bai Ziyun is in charge of the post road from Tianjin to the capital, why did he come?

groaning slightly, Yinzhen ordered: "Call Bai Ziyun and Haishan in, and the others tell them to disperse, just say that I am tired from the journey." ”

Bai Ziyun quickly walked in, and after inviting An to see the ceremony, Yinzhen couldn't help but smile and said: "I haven't seen you for half a year, I'm black and thin, but I still look energetic, how is it, are you still used to it?" ”

Seeing the presence of the thirteenth and sixteenth elder brothers, Bai Ziyun was a little restrained, bowed down and replied: "Lord Xie inquired, the students got used to it in less than a month.

"Sit without restraint." Yinzhen said with a smile, he has always appreciated this Bai Ziyun, this person is patient and trivial, good at communicating with people, and has a strong ability to accept, I hope that Yixue will take care of it in his hands is not bad, the reason why he is in charge of the expansion of the post road is that there are many Western missionaries involved in this project.

After Bai Ziyun sat down, he relaxed slightly, but he still said cautiously: "Lord Wang, the students came today to capture the Spanish, in the past six months, although those Spaniards are quite peaceful, they are full of complaints, Angel and Carlos are going back and forth every day to appease, and on the side of Gyeonggi, the students are worried that the time will be long and there will be trouble." ..., after the snow stopped working, Angel and Carlos repeatedly grinded to see the prince, and the students were not able to grind, so they took them to the city to guard the one. ”

Yinzhen originally wanted to meet Angel and Carlos, both of whom were senior Spanish military officers, and they should know very well about the situation of the battle for the Spanish throne, and when he heard Bai Ziyun's words, he smiled and said, "Are the two of them here?" ”

Yinzhen is willing to see the two of them? Bai Ziyun was overjoyed, nodded again and again, and said, "It's here, it's just outside the courtyard, and the students will call it immediately." ”

Since the Tianjin military exercise, Angel and Carlos have not been able to see Yinzhen, after being sent to build the road, both of them are almost desperate, and they overheard that the Beiyang Fleet has gone to the South Seas, the two of them are a little comforted, it seems that the Qing Dynasty has not been able to free up their hands to conquer Japan, but it is not that there is no opportunity, so while appeasing the soldiers, while grinding Bai Ziyun, hoping to see Yinzhen and listen to the letter,

As soon as they heard Yinzhen's opinion on them, Angel and Carlos were overjoyed. After entering the door, he knelt down skillfully and kowtowed, and said in a strange tone: "Angel and Carlos ask for peace to the prince." ”

Angel and Carlos did not wear military uniforms, they were dressed in Qing Dynasty costumes, looking extremely funny, seeing that the two of them were very familiar with the action of asking for peace, Yinzhen couldn't help but sigh secretly, it has only been half a year, these two people have exhausted their sharpness, it seems that in order to protect the rights and interests of Spanish soldiers, they are not less bullied on weekdays.

The guard Zhang Tiansheng took the initiative to walk in at this time and asked if he needed an interpreter with his eyes, Yinzhen nodded to him with a smile, and then looked at Angel and Carlos, and said, "Flat." ”

"Lord Xie." Angel and Carlos thanked each other with a full courtesy before they got up

Yinzhen said in a deep voice: "If you want to see this king, what is the matter?" ”

After hearing Zhang Tiansheng's translation, Angel said: "Lord Sui, Tianjin military exercise, I deeply regret it, but I dare to guarantee that there will never be anything like this again, they are the best soldiers, they should appear on the battlefield, not on the road building or mining site."
