Li Yunzhong thought for a while, and replied: "Dahan welcomes all businessmen who invest in good faith, as long as they do not sell opium and do things that harm the country and the people, everything is negotiable, and I treat all businessmen equally, and will not give any one the slightest privilege, except in the field of heavy industry. ”

Hearing that the emperor was willing to give the thirteen lines a chance, Wu Shaorong couldn't wait to say: "I am willing to honor the emperor for two million taels, and I only ask the emperor to allow the Wu family to do business and invest freely. ”

Following the principle that it is a bastard to have a advantage and not to take advantage, Li Yunzhong immediately made a promise: "I, Dahan, welcome you to do business in the country, you can do it at will, if it involves the military industry, you must go to the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War to fill in the application materials, I personally approve and agree, for your contribution to the Han, I will award Mr. Wu the title of first-class knighthood, Mr. Lu third-class knighthood, how can you understand it as a knightly privilege like the United Kingdom, the Ministry of Rites will issue you medals and certificates." ”

Joy from the sky! I haven't heard of any official in the Han Dynasty who has won the rank of nobility, Lu Jiguang and Wu Shaorong glanced at each other, and thanked in unison: "Thank you for the emperor's reward." ”

Li Yunzhong estimated that the time for the banquet was almost up, and said to the two of them: "When the banquet time comes, let's go to the banquet, so as not to make a few ladies wait for a long time." ”

Hong Xuanjiao and Fu Shanxiang kept looking at Wu Fangfei with strange eyes, the snow-white dress was dazzling like a fairy on her body, with a white hat on her head, and a crimson silk rose decorated on it. A large area of skin is exposed on the chest, which looks even more seductive against the background of the dress.

Xu Yuexiang asked in a low voice, "Sister Hong, why do this girl's clothes look weird." It seems to be the clothes worn by foreigners, and the shoes she wears are tattered. There are so many exposed holes on it, don't you say that her family is rich? ”

Hong Xuanjiao didn't think Wu Fangfei's shoes were worn. On the contrary, he looked very charming, and also whispered back: "You see, the socks she wears are all spun with good raw silk, not to mention the clothes, I'm afraid they will cost a thousand taels of silver." ”

Wu Fangfei looked generous, and did not feel ashamed, but showed a different style.

"The emperor has arrived!"

Su Sanniang got up and said, "Everyone follow me to greet the emperor!" ”

"Welcome to the Emperor!"

Li Yunzhong looked at a few strange women and said with a smile: "No courtesy, everyone sits casually." No constraints...... Thirteen aunts! ”

Who is Aunt Thirteen? Everyone followed the emperor's gaze and looked at Wu Fangfei, one in Nanjing and the other in Guangzhou, and they really didn't understand how the emperor knew her.

Hong Xuanjiao smiled reluctantly: "A few people don't know, the emperor also traveled to Guangzhou before he raised his army, maybe he met this girl at that time." ”

Wu Fangfei's face was slightly red, and she whispered: "Your Majesty, the people's daughter's name is Wu Fangfei." It's not the thirteenth aunt, did the emperor recognize the wrong person? ”

Wu Shaorong saw that the emperor's eyes were still staring at his daughter, and he turned from anger to shock, from surprise to joy. said with a smile: "The emperor must have seen the little girl in Guangzhou, the little girl has lived in Europe since she was a child, and she is also unconventional in the city of Guangzhou." It is not surprising that the emperor was impressed by the little girl. ”

Hong Xuanjiao came to Li Yunzhong's side and reminded in a low voice: "The emperor may be tired. Your Majesty, do you say yes! Stretched out his little hand and carefully pinched Li Yunzhong's waist a few times.

Li Yunzhong's thoughts finally got rid of the afterlife, and he saw that several of them looked at him dumbfounded. He said with a self-made look: "When I saw this young lady, I remembered some of the past, but I waited for a long time, everyone can do whatever you want!" ”

Wu Fangfei came to Li Yunzhong and asked with a smile: "Have you seen me?" How I am not impressed. ”

Li Yunzhong asked rhetorically: "Do you know a person named Huang Feihong?" His father Huang Qiying is also okay! ”

Wu Fangfei said excitedly: "You know Master Huang!" It's so nice that I'm good friends with him, and he's saved me! It's a pity that my dad always stops me from playing with him! After speaking, Wu Fangfei pouted and secretly aimed at his father Wu Shaorong.

Li Yunzhong also asked a random question, I didn't expect her to really know Huang Qiying, could it be that the movies and TV made in later generations are true!

"I have also admired Master Huang's name for a long time, and I heard that his martial arts are superb, ranking first among the ten tigers in Guangdong, which is really rare."

Wu Fangfei smiled knowingly, although there was no exact ranking of the Ten Tigers in Guangdong, she also felt that Huang Qiying's martial arts were the highest, but Qiying didn't like to be in the limelight, and now that the Emperor of the Han Dynasty personally admired it, Qiying couldn't rely on it.

"Your Majesty, it's time to take the seat!" Su Sanniang saw that Li Yunzhong was talking endlessly with Wu Fangfei, so she couldn't help but whisper.

Li Yunzhong seemed to have seen a big acquaintance, and said to Wu Fangfei: "Let's talk later, you tell me about Europe." ”

After three rounds of drinking, Li Yunzhong said with a smile: "I didn't expect Mr. Wu to be so open-minded, he can send his daughter to Europe to study, it's really valuable, if the Chinese are like Mr. Wu, why worry about the country's prosperity." ”

Wu Shaorong said: "In fact, foreigners also have advanced places, such as railways, warships, foreign guns and cannons, etc., they are full of adventurous spirit, come to China thousands of miles away, just to seek wealth, Westerners burn and loot in a place called America, do all kinds of evil, plundered gold and jewelry are measured by ships, if we China is not angry and strong, it is inevitable that it will be such a fate." ”

Li Yunzhong sighed: "Yes, it's a pity that the domestic conservative force is still strong and stubborn, and he is still immersed in the dream of the Heavenly Empire, and he doesn't want to open his eyes to the world." ”

Wu Shaorong took out the "Atlas of the Sea Kingdom" from his arms, and pointed to it: "The grass people are willing to dedicate it to the emperor, this book lists in detail the customs of the countries in the world, the geographical location, and the history of the European powers are also written in great detail, and the author also imagines how China should defeat foreign invaders in the book, with the help of this book, the emperor can worry free!" ”

Li Yunzhong took the book presented by the chamberlain's hands, and couldn't wait to look at it, the more he looked at it, the more surprised he became, he really couldn't imagine that there were such characters in China at this time, the book not only attached importance to the development of industry and commerce, and expanded from the economy to politics, from the amazement of the strength of the Western ships and guns to the introduction of the modern capitalist democracy in the West, but also gave a detailed introduction to American democratic politics, involving the federal system, the electoral system, and the parliamentary system of the United States......

Who is the author of this book? China still has such a talent, where is he now? ”

Wu Shaorong said with a smile: "It is not necessary to say that he is a great talent, his name is Wei Yuan, he was originally commissioned by Lord Lin Zexu to compile this book, three years ago he served as the governor of Gaoyou, the emperor conquered Gaoyou, Wei Yuan rushed to Guangzhou from Jiangnan, and became a monk in frustration.
