The garden is located in the south of the main building, and the garden is surrounded by colorful tiles, and is planted with precious flowers and trees such as dragon cypress and cedar, and in the middle is a lawn where a bronze horse is placed. In order to beautify the garden and facilitate indoor flower viewing, there is also a flower viewing room in the garden, which is beautifully carved and covered with colorful tiles on the floor.

Visiting the entire mansion, Li Yunzhong exclaimed: Such a luxurious villa, placed in Shanghai in the previous life, there are not hundreds of millions of can't be taken, if there is it in the previous life, the ghost is willing to cross over!

Chen Yucheng didn't understand why the house was built for the strange appearance of Guli, and whispered with Tan Shaoguang and others along the way, discussing the lack of the mansion.

Early the next morning, Li Yunzhong was awakened by the chirping of birds outside the window, and looked at several Van Gogh oil paintings hanging on the snow-white walls, large ** made of pear wood, silk quilts, slippers on the ground, **cigars on top of the cabinet...... There is a feeling of time and space disorder, as if I have returned to the 21st century, leaning on the ** and quietly savoring the taste that has long been forgotten, parents, friends, Yali...... Feelings of loneliness and sadness suddenly welled up in my heart, and they hit me wave after wave, washing over my mind, and tears unconsciously dripped on my pajamas.

After a simple breakfast, Tan Shaoguang came to report to the British Minister Bao Ling, the French Minister Bourblon, and the American Minister Mai Lian to visit.

As soon as she entered the door, Mai Lian exclaimed in his exaggerated tone: "I have long wanted to come in and visit this villa, but unfortunately the owner is not there!" Today I can finally taste what I wish and have a good stroll! Feeling a little boastful, Mai Lian added, "Dear Highness, you don't mind! ”

Li Yunzhong invited them to take a seat, ordered his subordinates to serve tea, and replied with a smile: "It's just a house, I didn't expect Mr. Wen Han to be so generous and build it so luxurious and extravagant." ”

Bao Ling corrected: "Your Highness, it's not that Mr. Wen Han is generous, but that you are willing to spend money, and the cost of building the villa is all taken from the customs duties. ”

I know that it was you guys who did it! Causing Lao Tzu to spend so much unjust money, Li Yunzhong pretended not to care and asked, "How many taels of silver did this small house cost?" ”

Mai Lian was surprised: "Small house? In your Chinese words, Your Highness, you are too modest! This is even more luxurious than our Presidential Palace, and it took Mr. Anderson three years to design, and it is the most exquisite villa I have ever seen! ”

Li Yunzhong said: "Three years, I asked Wenhan to build it nine months ago, and that Anderson came through!" ”

Bao Ling explained: "Master Anderson designed for a big merchant in Europe, but unfortunately the merchant went bankrupt, so Mr. Wenhan bought his design. ”

Bourblon touched a delicate vase and exclaimed: "It is worthy of a house that cost 1.2 million taels to build, and even the decorations are antiques!" ”

Li Yunzhong jumped up and shouted: "1.2 million taels!" Your uncle, when I'm Kaizi! How many guns can you buy for 1.2 million taels! I don't want this house, but you will pay me back 120 taels of silver. ”

Bao Ling pressed Li Yunzhong's shoulder and said comfortingly: "Your Highness, this is not built with your silver!" ”

"It's not my money, it's your money?" Li Yunzhong grabbed Bao Ling's arm and shook it vigorously.

Bao Ling tried to keep himself smiling: "From the beginning of your capture of Nanjing, we intercepted the tariffs and did not hand them over to the Qing State until you captured Shanghai, during which a total of 1.2 million taels were saved, all of which were used to build villas!" ”

Li Yunzhong looked into the eyes of the three of them one by one and asked, "Only 1.2 million taels?" You are not corrupt? ”

Bao Ling, Mai Lian, and Burbul Bulon laughed in unison: "The ledger was accidentally burned, and we are sure that it is only 1.2 million taels!" ”

Burbul Bulon pulled Bao Ling and Mai Lian to get up and invited: "At nine o'clock this morning, it is the opening ceremony of the train from Shanghai to Suzhou, please go with us to participate!" We've done a lot of protection work on site so that nothing like yesterday will happen. ”

Li Yunzhong said: "You wait a while, I'll go change my clothes." ”

After a while, Li Yunzhong changed into a shirt, suit, and leather shoes specially made by a high-class tailor, and walked out in a hurry.

Bao Ling rubbed his eyes and exclaimed: "Your Highness, your dress is too strange, you are the first Chinese I have ever seen wearing this suit, you will lead a trend of wearing suits, it seems that I have to quickly open a clothing factory specializing in suits." ”

Li Yunzhong took the lead and walked out of the door, turned around and said, "Let's go, let's go!" ”

The "dong dong" train kept making noises, and Li Yunzhong experienced the taste of riding an old-style train for the first time, the windows could be opened, and the interior of the carriage was decorated like a room, but it was a little dangling.

Bourblon raised the wine in his hand and proposed, "Let's toast to the passage of the train!" ”

Bao Ling and Mai Lian also raised their glasses in response, Li Yunzhong was helpless, and joked: "How can I feel like I want to vomit!" "Drink it all.

"I am not used to taking the train for the first time, and His Royal Highness will not be able to travel without the train in the future." Bao Ling comforted as he cut the bloody steak.

I just want to throw up just looking at your bloody steak! Li Yunzhong tried to shift his attention to the window.

"You let me in, it was your Han King who invited us over!"

……

Bao Ling asked the waiter unhappily, "What's the matter?" I wonder if this is a private room? ”

Chen Yucheng came in and reported: "Your Highness, it's the three foreigners from yesterday!" Would you like to see them? ”

"Let them in." Li Yunzhong remembered the three life-savers yesterday, and he promised to give them a sum of money, but he only stayed in Shanghai for one night.

Wei Liali came in and found Li Yunzhong leisurely sipping red wine, and complained: "Sir, we went to your residence today, a very luxurious place, but the maid said that you just left, and we chased after you, I hope you don't mind!" ”

Li Yunzhong said with a smile: "I forgot, I still owe you an interview, so it's better to solve it here." ”

Bao Ling swallowed the steak and joked: "You can interview the ministers of three countries and the emperor of one country, this is a rare opportunity, after the newspaper is printed, I think you will definitely become famous!" ”

Jenny, Willia, and Joseph sat down casually, holding a pen in their right hand and a notebook in their left.

Jenny finished the movement first and asked, "Excuse me...... Your Royal Highness, what is the purpose of your visit to Shanghai? ”

Li Yunzhong smiled and pointed to the three people opposite: "You also saw it, it was they who invited me to participate in the opening ceremony!" As for other things, they are classified for the time being. ”

Joseph asked the second question: "Sir, I heard that you are preparing an attack on Zhejiang Province, is this true?" ”

Li Yunzhong frowned, such a confidential matter was really known to everyone, looked up at a few embarrassed ministers, and said meaningfully: "My Han soldiers are strong and strong, and the land of Zhejiang Province is not worth my fight, the target of my Han army's southern expedition this time is the entire south, Zhejiang Province, Fujian Province, Guangdong Province, Guangxi Province, together are about the size of England!" ”

Several reporters all exclaimed, they have no feelings for Zhejiang Province, Fujian Province, etc., but they are different for England, and in their minds, Jenny sighed: "China is really too big, just a few of these provinces have caught up with us in England!" ”

Bao Ling frowned and retorted: "This young lady, you don't count British Canada, Australia and other places, the area of the United Kingdom is the largest in the world, and China can only rank second!" ”

Jenny complimented, "I am honored to be a citizen of the empire on which the sun never sets, sir!" ”

Joseph plucked up the courage and asked, "Sir, I heard that you used to be a charcoal burner and lived a life of little clothing and food, but you have achieved so much today, what is the secret of your success?" ”

The secret to success? Can you tell you, saying that Lao Tzu rebelled for the sake of silver and women? Li Yunzhong pretended to be forced: "Where is the secret of success, if you want to say that there is, success is 99 percent sweat, plus 1 percent luck!" ”

Bang Bang Bang ...... The foreigners in the carriage couldn't help but applaud.

Jenny waited for the carriage to be quiet, and took advantage of the lively atmosphere to ask, "I heard that you believe in communism and are confiscating the assets of the rich and leaving them with nothing, what do you think of the Communist Manifesto?" ”

Bao Ling, Bourblon, and Mai Lian also tacitly put down their knives and forks and listened carefully.

Li Yunzhong took a deep breath and replied: "Communism is not suitable for the current era, capitalism is the trend, we Han do not intend to establish a proletarian state, and my generals will not allow it, they follow me to rebel, for money, women, status, if I am a communist, they will overthrow my rule as soon as possible, as for the Taiping Taiguo in Sichuan, they ostensibly practice communism, but in fact, the leadership has long been corrupted, their system is semi-feudal and semi-slavery, which is a historical regression, I am categorically against it! ”

Bang Bang Bang ............ Bourblon and the others applauded again

……

"Okay ladies and gentlemen, Suzhou has arrived, you can get ready to get off!" The conductor came in to remind.
