Chapter 25: Kyung Kee Company (Ask for Recommendation)
What is the officialdom of the Great Qing Kingdom like?
No one can say clearly, but in the officialdom of the Qing Dynasty, there is a prominent person, but no one can get around, that is, King Qing, who presides over the prime minister's affairs and affairs, from the "Jia Shen Yi Shu", Shi Duo presides over the military aircraft department, and King Qing presides over the Prime Minister's Yamen.
In the officialdom, it is well known that Qingjun Wang Yixuan has a very poor work ability and a bad reputation, but his official luck is surprisingly good. Since "Jiashen Yishu" presided over the prime minister's yamen, he has been like a tumbler, firmly among the three centers, and of course he is very busy every day.
Everyone in Sijiu City knows that the king of Qingjun will never go to the prime minister's yamen unless he has something, and others will not be able to see him if he does not make an appointment a few days in advance, although he does not go to the yamen, but he is even busier, what are you busy with? Busy eating, playing cards, and connecting with feelings along the way.
Entertaining and eating is a compulsory course for this king of Qingjun every day, and the theme is mostly to celebrate his birthday. Several of the important ministers in this court are not a group of wives and a bunch of children, so King Qingjun is either holding a banquet and taking the opportunity to collect money, or on the way to the banquet to contact feelings.
Then it's mahjong. In order to please Lafayette, the king of Qing changed the method to introduce mahjong tiles into the palace, and promoted the skill of rubbing mahjong to the palace hand in hand, from the palace maid to the eunuch, all of them were not tired. This year and the Qing Dynasty were a time of internal and external difficulties, and Cixi needed to relieve her mood, and this rubbing of hemp was a good way to relieve her body and mind.
Of course, this is just the first step. King Qingjun let his little wife enter the palace from time to time, either to accompany Lafayette or to accompany the people around Lafayette to come twice. So much so that every time he entered the palace to accompany him, the silver ticket he brought with him was always not enough to lose. The hard work paid off, and King Qingjun was constantly favored by Lafayette.
Some Qingliu courtiers couldn't stand it and began to hand over the folds, but Cixi left the folds in the middle, according to the words of the Lafayette. She knows what level she is, but from the looks of it, this Manchu Dynasty is still his most intimate.
It's really a bit unjust to say that King Qingjun has no ability, at least the level of wealth accumulation is outstanding. He has presided over the Prime Minister's Yamen for so many years, not only Chinese people, but also foreigners know the name of King Qingjun's "small and big donation", and he is not afraid of too much money, and not too little money. But he didn't dare to betray the country, besides, a few years ago, with 20 years of foreign affairs in Vietnam, he had not suffered a big loss in fighting with France, and the tiger skin of the Qing Empire was still on his body, and everyone was much more restrained. Then the only thing left is to sell officials, with a clear price, pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other, and the business is very good.
Although this Qing Dynasty donated class to supplement the official sea, but anyone who can touch the road of King Qing's door is not a mortal, first of all, you have to be able to knock on the vermilion lacquer door of King Qing, just like the owner and gentry of this house back then, this door is not something that ordinary people can knock on.
The door of this "Qing Ji" some people want to go out of their way, but some people can enter and exit at will, the difference between people and people, it is here to show one or two, when it is near, Sheng Xuanhuai entered the "Qing Ji", although he is Li Hongzhang's cronies, but what he can get is only the opportunity to enter the "Qing Ji", and he has to wait for the same as others, so he waited for almost an hour, and seeing that it was almost the time to eat, there was a slave who stood up, and his nostrils were full of a heavenly appearance,
"Master Shan, my master is invited!"
The smug look on the minion's face, looking at Sheng Xuanhuai's eyes, he just scolded in his heart, isn't it just a dog minion, look at you! But his face was pleased.
"Yo, Fourth Master, I've worked hard for you!"
The kung fu of the words, he took out a small gold ingot of ten taels from his sleeve, this shot is two hundred taels of silver, and the Qing Dynasty is afraid that only Sheng Xuanhuai can do this, and sure enough, one after another, the slave who was still nostrils suddenly squeezed out a smile on his face.
"Master Sheng, look at your politeness, you're not ...... Yes, to tell you the truth, my prince is in a good mood today, no, there is a new chef in the house, and the governor of Xinjiang sent it, no, I have worked hard in the backyard for several days to set up a stove, and the camels weighing thousands of pounds are roasting there, maybe you will be blessed today......
This is the same as confiscating the silver, the title is changed, the expression is humble, even the words are flattering, but also pointed out one or two letters, Sheng Xuanhuai thanked him, and after a while he entered the hall, the person just entered the hall, the knees seemed to be softened without knees, and the backbone also seemed to be pumped.
"The little one has seen the prince of the county......"
"Come on, you Xingsun, there is no one else, this gift will be waived!"
Looking at Sheng Xuanhuai, Yixuan had a smile on his face, among so many people, that is, Sheng Xuanhuai is the favorite master, this person is not like others, he only thinks of you when he uses you, these years, Sheng Xuanhuai has not been less filial piety to the court. But usually they are entrusted to come, and now they come to the door, then there must be something to do.
"Thank you, Lord Wang!"
sat down, took the tea, took a sip first, Sheng Xuanhuai didn't go around the bend with Yixuan, how could he not know that King Qing in front of him was "time tight", and he couldn't wait to spend twenty-four hours a day, so that he could see more, collect more silver, and send more silver by the way, only those who don't understand the rules will be here with King Qing.
If you can't knock on this door, you may have to spend hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, but it's easy to knock on this door.
The tea moistened his throat, and when he put down the teacup, Sheng Xuanhuai took out a silver ticket from his sleeve, and bent his waist to put the silver ticket aside.
"Lord Wang, when the little one came, he didn't bring any filial piety, and he was afraid of staining the eyes of the prince with a little blockage!"
Sheng Xuanhuai spoke, but Yi Xuan really responded to the sentence that the black eyes could not see the silver child, although it was three feet away, but he still saw the number on it, and suddenly put on a face.
"I said you Lao Sheng, this is too outward, come and come, what are you polite, you won't be allowed next time!"
Yixuan had a smile on his face, his eyes were squinted, but he muttered in his heart, 100,000 taels, what kind of idea is this Sheng Xuanhuai? The things of the Great Qing Kingdom are all clearly priced, and when he wanted to build a railway that year, he only sent 50,000 taels. What is in your hand that is worth so much silver?
This person was honest and made a difficulty, and when Yixuan was in trouble, he listened to Sheng Xuanhuai say.
"Lord Wang, this time the little one is not here for the side, no, I want to invite someone from you"
"Personally, please?"
"Now the prime minister's yamen is full of talents, but it's not bad for a person, do you say this is the reason?"
"Reason is down, but Lao Sheng, you are out of sight, you want someone from the yamen to help, that's not a matter of your words, our friendship can be done!"
"Look at what you said, the face you gave to the little one, that's a small honor, isn't it!"
Sheng Xuanhuai hurriedly smiled, and then directly clarified his intention.
"This is not for the sake of my little self, but for the sake of others......"
Hearing Sheng Xuanhuai mention Tang Haoran, Yixuan's heart suddenly jumped, and he thought of Li Hongzhangtuo's matter, let him cold that person first, if it weren't for that, how could he not even see him, and how could he be so ridiculed about him, but now, Sheng Xuanhuai came over and wanted to find an errand for Tang Haoran.
This thing is not easy to do, on the one hand, Li Hongzhang's face, and on the other hand, it is white silver.
"This person is also an errand man, and the little one thinks that if there is a suitable opportunity, can I find him an errand to be released!"
Okay!
This will be what Yixuan can't figure out anymore, and this will be clear, he Sheng Xuanhuai is here to dig the corner of the owner's house, and wants to pry the surname Tang to other places, isn't it, for the surname Sheng, the surname Tang is not a threat, the surname Tang can have the ability to expand the industry and make money, in case he enters Li Hefei's curtain, then there is a doorway for him surnamed Sheng.
This Sheng Xuanhuai is shrewd enough, he directly did the thing to himself, thought about letting him go, and let the man go.
"It's a bit difficult!"
In the face of Bai Huahua's silver, Yixuan did not refuse.
"Although Tang Ziran has a reputation for being foreign, he is not from a professional class after all, and besides, there is also the rank of the third grade there, and if he is released outside, he will not be promoted to the next level according to the general practice, no matter what, he will also be a provincial political envoy!"
is like Jiangsu, the price of a provincial political envoy is only 50,000 taels!
These 100,000 taels, Sheng Xuanhuai's pen, made Yixuan feel difficult.
"Besides, he hasn't acted for a place, and his qualifications are also there, so I mentioned it there, and I guess ......"
"Don't you have to rely on the prince for this!"
gritted his teeth Sheng Xuanhuai and took out a silver ticket from his right sleeve, this is not to blame him, now in the curtain, no one is more worried than him, this telegraph office, China Merchants Bureau and the railway company, all of them are wealth-making yamen, in case he Tang Ziran enters the scene, how can he still have his share, no wonder he made such a big move.
If there were other methods, it is estimated that he would have used them a long time ago, although this method cost a lot of unjust money, but it was passed to Li Zhongtang, Li Zhongtang was nothing more than sighing, and there was no other way. As long as he Tang Ziran doesn't go over, Lord Zhongtang can't do without him, but if he goes...... Therefore, the safest way is to give that kid a better future! Send that stunned boy to officialdom!
"You have to be so wasteful, Lord Wang!"
"This ......"
That's 120,000 taels!
Things are difficult to do, but this white silver is really greedy, this thing is ...... Gotta do it! Picking up the teacup, Yixuan didn't drink tea, just held it like that, and Sheng Xuanhuai took a look and saw that the prince was sending off guests. I suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in my heart, this matter was clear, and I quickly got up and said.
"It's not too early, if the prince doesn't have other instructions, the little one will retire!"
(Today's tragedy, I went over the wall to check the information, but I don't know why, I couldn't get on the net after exiting, and I reinstalled the system for nearly three hours...... Tears! Fortunately, the update was not delayed. Ask for a recommendation vote to comfort me...... )
