The first update

"I didn't get any money this time, did I?" Qingyu saw that he was almost finished, so she asked softly.

"A large family of men, women and children smoke a lot, and it's strange to be rich. It's still a bit of an industry. Xianfeng finished writing, glanced at it, blew it, and handed it to Qingyu. Go get one yourself.

Qingyu nodded while watching, the meaning was all there, she talked about the harm of opium taxes, and wrote the method of disposal. Didn't send troops to kill as he said. Instead, let people make an announcement, and if they eradicate it by themselves within three days, it can be regarded as self-repentance, and the court is not to blame for the past, but those who know the law and break the law will be beheaded by the nine clans. Of course, in the end, Xianfeng also wrote that some boys could be asked to go out on the street to sing about the harm of planting, as well as the determination of the imperial court. Don't be punished without teaching, let people criticize.

Qingyu is embarrassed, look at Xianfeng's quality, he can be the emperor, he is much better than himself. Yunnan is a very dangerous place, there are many ethnic minorities, and I don't know how all ethnic groups get along at that time. That will also provoke civil unrest. It's really like himself, he will kill him when he comes up, and their court can't sit still.

"Your Majesty, let people make the account books of these families public, so that people know what has become of such a rich family because of smoking. Let the government schools, as well as the gentlemen and students of the various universities, go and see those who are forced to quit smoking. And the newspaper I mentioned last time, it must be done. I have to let the people of the world know that the first emperor was painstaking. There is also Lord Xianlin, a piece of his heart. ”

"We don't have anybody, Qingyu, now we don't have any." Xianfeng let out a long sigh, they were working hard, but what was the use of just the two of them? They are still weak. Even if Jingying supports Xianfeng now and lets them sit firmly in the court, the people who do things are not what these people in Jingying can do. Something will happen then. So what they lack most now is someone who can help them.

Duanhua and Su Shun are not, they are just there, letting people know that Xianfeng is the most dependent on the royal family at this time. Otherwise, even if it was the Daoguang Dynasty before, the royal family was not allowed to enter the military plane.

Qingyu also sighed, she didn't dare to train newcomers by herself, she could only give up again. She doesn't know history, but she's a businessman. She objected to it, simply using the ideas of businessmen. Think about the serious consequences of the legalization of opium in the minds of a businessman.

And more importantly, she can remember that in those period dramas, no matter men or women, as long as there is a little money, all of them will have a prop for smoking guns. And whether it is a drama in Hong Kong, Taiwan or the mainland, it's all like this. This also represents the background of the era at that time. She could not tolerate such a situation in her own power.

"Zeng Guofan asked what to do with the treasures of the Taiping Army that were confiscated?" Xianfeng said the second thing.

"How long has it been since you said this now? What does this man think! Qingyu glared at Xianfeng.

"It's only September, and there's been a long time. Li Hongzhang also wrote a secret fold, he hoped that the money would stay in Jiangnan. Xianfeng thought for a while and folded it out, a thick fold, Qingyu took it and looked at it carefully.

Li Hongzhang said some reasons, such as that he wanted to set up an arsenal in Jiangnan, as well as the labor army. In addition, now the people sent by Xianfeng are training the new army, which also requires money. The camp in Jiangnan also needed a new place to settle down.

"What does the emperor think?"

"Originally, I didn't think about staying, Li Hongzhang said so, and I really had an idea when I thought about it. Leave it to him to do it, it can really be done well, but it is cheaper than shipping it to the capital. ”

"This money can be left in Jiangnan, but it is not used to labor the army, but the imperial court allocated it for the construction of the new army. They fought not for the court, but for the land under their feet, and for the fathers and villagers behind them. Qingyu shook her head, she didn't like the tone of Zeng Guofan's performance. It's just as much credit as they are. Directly used to labor the army, it was confirmed that they were helping the court to fight. This is not right!

"As I told you, an army without faith is terrible, and it is impossible for it to be combative?"

"Yes, it's a pity that we don't have any, otherwise, this money should go to Jiangnan to receive it, and then that person will be in charge, settle the Jiangnan camp well, and then do it according to what Li Hongzhang said. These have nothing to do with the Jiangnan camp or the Liangjiang Governor's Mansion. This is a system of independence of the imperial court. Qingyu sighed lightly.

Xianfeng thought for a while, "Then make Li Hongzhang independent, anyway, I also sent people from the Beijing camp to train soldiers, and Li Hongzhang will be in charge of these things he writes in the future." ”

"Your Majesty, really, you are smarter than me." Qingyu smiled. That's right, the people from Jingying sent to Jiangnan, as long as the separation of powers in Jiangnan Daying is maintained, it is not meaningful for Li Hongzhang to stay in Jiangnan Daying, and Li Hongzhang has a good relationship with both sides, he receives this money independently, and Zeng Guofan and Seng Greenqin will not rebound too much.

"How about you talk to the Americans about food?" This Xianfeng was quite happy to listen to, he knew that there were some things that he was good at, but Qingyu was not good at. And Qingyu is good at dealing with foreigners, and now she is responsible for buying food from the United States.

As soon as the war in Jiangnan ended, Xianfeng ordered the opening of the warehouse to release grain. After all, after experiencing the Taiping Army and the floods of the Yangtze River, stability is paramount. The grain in the north did not dare to move. So before Qingyu mentioned that she wanted to buy food from the Americans, it was imminent. Before, the people of Jiangnan were asked to plant a season of vegetables, and the vegetables were all issued by the imperial court, and the ones planted in each county were different. And promise, even if you plant, the court will harvest it at an average price, and the more you plant, the more money you will get.

In the capital, Qingyu launched a series of bidding preparations. Also notified of the common law. At that time, it was only August, and the vegetables in Jiangnan had just been sprinkled. And the Americans felt that Qingyu's attitude was to support her, so they had already telegraphed back that the grain was on the way to be delivered.

Because only the United States prepared, seeing that Qingyu only asked for it to be sent to the designated place, this was really not a problem for them, so they immediately agreed. In fact, no matter how ruthless Qingyu is, it is possible for them to press the price. However, Qingyu didn't do this, business is mutually beneficial, and her good-meaning Americans are not stupid, they appreciate it very much, and when Qingyu proposed that they help them transport the vegetables from Jiangnan back immediately, they agreed without hesitation. And when I heard Qingyu say that she would give them freight, it became a windfall, and when they signed the contract, they signed it very happily.

At that time, Britain and France actually wanted to fight for it, but they had to go back and discuss with their superiors about exporting grain. There is no distinction between military and political affairs, with warships in the front and the East India Company in the back. What kind of business do you talk about with these soldiers? The back and forth was delayed, and the consuls were so angry that they jumped to their feet, and when they saw the big steamer of the beauty whistling by, the hats on their heads were about to be pinched out of the water.
