"How's that!"

Almost as soon as Tang Haoran stepped into the courtyard of his home, Li Guangguang, Song Yuxin, Tan Sitong and Shi Tengge asked eagerly, since Tang Haoran went to the Summer Palace, they have been waiting in the courtyard, if it weren't for the fear of provoking criticism, I am afraid that they would have run outside the garden to wait.

"What else!"

With an ugly face, Tang Haoran sat straight on the stool, looked at the four people with eager expressions and said helplessly.

"Kick us to North Korea!"

Tang Haoran's words only made the four of them stunned at the same time, North Korea!

According to the idea agreed by several people before, didn't he fool the emperor into agreeing to try out the new policy in Taiwan?

"How so?"

The expressions of the four suddenly turned into excitement.

"Don't mention it, it was almost a fool, and the emperor was also relieved, seeing that the position of governor of Taiwan was about to be reached, but who would have thought that the old lady had intervened!"

took a sip of tea, and Tang Haoran, who was full of bitterness, looked at the four people in front of him and said.

"This is not what the governor of Taiwan did not catch, but he got a minister of prime minister in North Korea! Take over Yuan Shikai's errand and go to work within a month! ”

As soon as Tang Haoran's words fell, Song Yuxin on the side immediately exclaimed.

"Oops! How good is that! ”

Song Yuxin exclaimed and shouted loudly.

"Ziran, this North Korean errand is not easy to do, on the surface, this minister in North Korea is more than 10,000 people, and no one in North Korea can control it, but in that place in North Korea, let alone say that it is a new deal, just diplomatic matters can tie people to death!"

Taiwan can't go! Going to North Korea!

In Song Yuxin's view, going to Taiwan is equivalent to flying out of the birdcage of the capital, that is to go to Taiwan to do big things, to do a new deal, if it is done well, not only Tang Haoran can go down in history, even if he Song Yuxin, it is possible to be promoted to a big official in the future, and he has been waiting in the officialdom for so many years, isn't this kind of opportunity!

But now, the will of the imperial court has completely failed everyone's plan, and he can't help but be excited. But isn't it, in that place in North Korea, Yuan Shikai is also a person and a country, and the days seem to be infinitely beautiful, but the internal suffering is unknown to others, how can Tang Haoran not know that this diplomacy relies on the support of the state, but how can I be a supporter of the Qing Dynasty.

"Ziran, what are you going to do next?"

Thinking about comparing Song Yuxin's excitement, Li Guangguang seemed very calm, he looked at Tang Haoran quietly, and the other three also cast their eyes on Tang Haoran.

Yes, what to do next, this is the most important thing, from losing the errand in Hubei to coming to Beijing, isn't what I want to do is to release it? Now it's okay, it's finally released, although it's a little unsatisfactory, but after all, this minister in the DPRK is barely a "big member of the party", and there is nothing to be satisfied with.

"Although this minister in the DPRK is stumped by foreign affairs, in the final analysis, even the Japanese have to scruple and recognize our suzerainty, but in terms of power and responsibility, it is the power of the governor and the governor, and it cannot be compared, not to mention the phenomenon that the minister in the DPRK enjoys full powers, so ......"

Facing everyone's eyes, or comforting everyone or comforting himself, Tang Haoran spit out such words, on the way back, he had already thought through the many pros and cons of going to North Korea.

"Although Korea is a land of right and wrong, but when it comes to power, the power of the minister stationed in the court is far greater than you and I imagine.

said so, but only Tang Haoran knew the bitterness in his heart, Taiwan, if Taiwan was released to Taiwan, there would still be four years of room for maneuver, but now it is better to go directly to North Korea, and four years later, he will have to support the sky of North Korea.

"What Ziran said is extremely true!"

After listening to Tang Haoran's words, Li Guangguang nodded in agreement and continued

"North Korea does not seem to be a good place to go on the surface, but it also has its advantages, not because of power and responsibility, but because North Korea is a foreign domain, and generally speaking, officials have no reason to insert into foreign domains. But in North Korea, Ziran is an outsider, so naturally there is no need to scruple too much! ”

In the first two most likely places to go, although Li Guangguang was not optimistic about the DPRK, he was equally unable to ignore the "advantages" of the DPRK, and now that the release of the DPRK is a foregone conclusion, even if there are many troubles, we must find ways to overcome them.

"But, but this North Korea is a foreign vassal after all, and this new policy depends on the North Koreans, and even the training of the new army depends on the North Koreans.

Among the crowds, Tan Sitong's thoughts are the most different, after all, he knows that whether it is a new policy or a new army, it is ultimately for another purpose.

"Bring the new army with self-respect...... If this training of the new army is used by North Korea, the imperial court will be able to take the weight of you and me! ”

After Tan Sitong expressed his worries in the same name, Li Guangguang nodded, since the suppression of the bandits, the local officials have all carried the army to self-respect, and this new army is also the most important part of the new policy, how can he not know, if there is no weight of the new army, how can he show the weight of the master.

"This ......"

"It's not a big deal!"

When he came, Tang Haoran, who had been thinking about it for more than two hours, gritted his teeth decisively and said his plan.

"Since the minister stationed in the DPRK has full powers, in the name of running a new army for the DPRK, we will train a soldier by ourselves first, and after training our own soldiers first, he will be able to train the DPRK in the future! As for the North Korean side, even the king of North Korea can be abolished, let alone just train a new army. ”

This is a bit arbitrary, but now Tang Haoran has no other way, no matter what, he must first train a soldier, otherwise, wouldn't all his previous achievements be wasted, and how to defeat the Manchus in the future without a new army?

This new army must be run, and even running a new army in the DPRK is better than running a new army in Taiwan; after all, in that part of the DPRK, the prime minister can enjoy full powers, and he is also a foreign vassal of the country, so naturally there is no need to consider the constraints of all sides; as long as he has the money, he can train as many new troops as he wants in the name of the DPRK.

"This new army naturally needs to be trained, but the question is how to train?"

Noticing the helplessness in Tang Haoran's expression, Li Guangguang didn't know the mood of the curtain master at this time, so he whispered,

"But what is urgent now is not to train a new army!"

"Silver!"

The corners of Tang Haoran's lips lifted slightly, looked at everyone and said.

"Silver money is the mother of the government, no silver is empty talk, this training of the new army requires silver, in North Korea to try out the new policy, also need silver, but where North Korea ...... The country is barren and the people are poor, and they still need to rely on the imperial court to borrow money to get through Japan, and if they want to use the financial resources of the DPRK to train the army, I am afraid that they will ......."

I'm afraid it's a delusion, and since it's a delusion, you have to think about it.

Time is not waiting for me!

Tang Haoran couldn't help but sigh, in the final analysis, it is still a matter of time, if it is now 1885, there are ten years for construction, he naturally does not need to worry, many things can be slowly figured out, there are ten years of hard work to do things.

But now he only has four years at most, and in four years, the First Sino-Japanese War will break out, and as a minister stationed in North Korea, he will undoubtedly be in the limelight, and he will need to be involved in the war that affected the national fortunes of the two countries in East Asia for a century.

What do you need to accomplish in four years?

Not only do we have to overcome difficulties in a foreign country and train a new-style army, but we also need to train a navy that is sufficient for self-protection, as well as a series of supporting projects such as arsenals and shipyards.

I am not like the protagonist in the novel, when a minister can be worth 10 million taels of silver, if it is not for the opening of a coal shop in the capital, let alone military training, it is to do the most general things, it is estimated that they are suffering from a lack of money, what can we do without money? What is the state that does not need silver?

If you want to accomplish these things, without 20 million taels of silver as the foundation, every qiē is empty talk, but where does this money come from?

"Time...... Silver! ”

While thinking in his heart, Li Guangguang smiled bitterly on the side.

"Don't think about the financial resources of the DPRK, the annual income of the DPRK is only more than 4 million taels, the country's own consumption is still insufficient, the barren people of the country are far more poor than the DPRK, even if it is extremely difficult to squeeze the new army, it is ...... want to do things in the DPRK."

Looking at Tang Haoran, Li Guangguang said seriously.

"I guess you have to rely on your breeding skills, otherwise, everything is empty talk!"

Hearing him say this, everyone all turned their eyes to Tang Haoran, as we all know, this Tang Haoran has the reputation of "fortune boy", and can always find silver in places where others can't find silver.

Get!

Seeing that the big guys were looking at him, the bitterness in Tang Haoran's heart suddenly rolled up, he did something in Hubei, and as a result, the world decided that he had the ability to expand his wealth, and now it seems impossible to point out to them to give him advice and make money. Then the DPRK is not "my Great Qing Dynasty", and without the proliferation of foreign medicines, it is impossible to talk about "substituting prohibition by levy", and naturally it will be impossible to make profits from it.

"Actually, it's not that hard!"

Think for a moment, cheer yourself up, or encourage everyone, Tang Haoran said confidently.

"Although North Korea is said to be small and poor, but if you think of some way, it is not that it can't be done, when it comes to the root, the way to get rich is only four "colonization industry", the key is how to do it, how to do it, but this colonization industry needs capital, this capital North Korea can't get it, the court can't give it, we have to rely on ourselves! ”

Saying that, Tang Haoran set his eyes on Song Yuxin.

"Jie Qi, how much money can be raised on the account now?"

"It's about five or six hundred thousand taels!"

Song Yuxin gave a number, and now he has asked more about the things on the number, so he naturally knows how much money he can take out on the number.

"That's not enough!"

Tang Haoran shook his head, first looked at Song Yuxin, and then turned his gaze to Shi Tengge, and said with a smile.

"Returning to the ancestors, I guess I have to trouble you about this matter, after we go to Tianjin, please do it first!"
