In the lobby of the Li family, an old man sat on a golden silk nanmu chair, the most expensive chair that would be enshrined in ordinary people could only cushion his buttocks here, but he did not have the slightest consciousness of sitting on a chair worth a thousand gold, but usually picked up the white jade teacup and slowly tasted the West Lake Longjing in the steam. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Taking a sip to moisten his throat, he put down the teacup and said to the head of the Li family: "Your tea is good, very sweet, but unfortunately it is not authentic enough." ”

The authentic West Lake Longjing is sweet with a wisp of fragrance, but this cup of tea is only sweet, not fragrant.

"Our Li family is a small family, where is the authentic West Lake Longjing." The head of the Li family lowered his head and accompanied him with a smiling face, "Even if it is these teas, they have been treasured by my master for many years, if it weren't for you, my lord, it would be unknown when this West Lake Longjing would see the light of day." ”

"Your Li family has a heart." The old man couldn't deny it, "As long as your Li family can firmly stand on my side of the Qing Dynasty, after the Eight Banners of the Great Qing Dynasty slaughter and rebel, the Li family will be indispensable to be rich and noble." ”

"Thank you, for a point." The head of the Li family lowered lower.

"It's just that I'm vaguely uneasy." The old man put his hand on the armrest and muttered, "Where does the uneasiness come from?" ”

Immediately, he had no doubts, because Li Zimo walked in with someone.

Li Zimo, who was walking in front, looked at the old man, a trace of guilt flashed in his eyes, his mouth squirmed, and he lowered his head dejectedly, "My lord, I'm sorry for you." ”

The old man didn't look at Li Zimo, but looked at Li Chao who came in after Li Zimo, he looked at Li Chao, his face was cold, as if he was a demon crawling out of hell, "It's you...... You've found it. ”

He finally understood where his uneasiness was coming from.

Thinking that he was safe, he thought that all this was very secret, so he hid in the countryside, and with the help of the squires and various great immortals, he instigated the peasants to storm the railroad and sabotage the construction, so as to delay the construction of the railway in the New Chinese Empire and sabotage its plans.

But this is not safe, and it is not secret, and now he has been stripped clean layer by layer and found here, "Li Zimo, you actually betrayed the Qing Dynasty." ”

The old man's hand grabbed the handrail, the green tendons burst out, and he shouted violently, "You actually dare to betray the Qing Dynasty, aren't you afraid that the Qing Dynasty will punish your nine clans!" ”

Under this drink, Li Zimo and Hong Jiafu both trembled, don't look at the old man's age, but the momentum generated when he was angry even Li Zimo and Hong Jiafu were afraid, because this old man was a member of the imperial court, and that imperial court member did not come out of the struggle, every struggle is equal to a life-and-death war, he stepped on other people's corpses all the way.

"Of course they're not afraid." Li Chao looked at the old man's anger coldly, "Because the Manchu barbarians in your mouth will be driven out of the Central Plains by me soon, and the Han family's country is about to be restored." ”

"It's just that I didn't expect that after our New Chinese Empire conquered Guangdong, there would be people sneaking in the village, colluding with the squire, intending to sabotage our railway construction."

"But you saw through it." The old man was not afraid at all, why should he be afraid, since he started doing this, he has already put life and death out of the way, even if it is discovered by Li Chao, it is just the worst consequence, "But it doesn't matter, my army of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty is almost ready, and I can defeat your rebellion immediately." ”

"It's just a pity, I originally wanted to do my part for the emperor, but I didn't expect to try my best and put myself in instead."

He held on to the armrest, picked up the teacup, after the catharsis just now, the anger in his heart was not much, and his heart calmed down, "But it doesn't matter, my old bones have lived enough, and it can be regarded as earning to watch you rebels perish under the encirclement and suppression of my Qing Dynasty." ”

He is not a good person, and a good person has long been eaten in the court to the point that there are no bones left, "The Manchu Eight Banners are invincible in the world, plus your forces are so scattered, I don't see any hope for you to win." ”

How can the scattered army win in the face of the elite Manchu Eight Banners? How is it possible to win? It will only be broken by each one.

"Do you know what railroads do?"

"What?"

"You probably don't know what the railroad does!" Li Chao sneered, "That's right, how can you know the role of the railway, after all, you don't even know how the railway works." ”

Without waiting for the old man to speak, he said to himself, "The so-called railway is a road composed of railroad tracks, and its biggest role is to provide a stable, safe and high-speed road for the operation of trains. ”

"This is a road built specifically for trains, and what is a train? It is a vehicle that uses the internal combustion engine as the power to run, it has a lot of compartments, a very strong load capacity, can transport goods, but also can transport people. ”

The old man's face was dark, and if he could transport people, it meant that he could transport the army, and he just said that the army of the New Chinese Empire was scattered, and now he was slapped in the face.

Li Chao looked at his expression, a little cheerful, and his voice was relaxed, "As long as the railway is successfully built and the train is operational, I can gather the troops scattered all over the country to attack the Manchu Eight Banners head-on." ”

"More importantly, trains can not only transport troops, but also transport military supplies, and replace manual labor with trains as a logistics transportation line, which is stable, efficient and faster."

"As for muskets, we are better than you; As for artillery, we are better than you; In terms of logistics, we are more powerful than you, you Manchu Eight Banners, what do you compare with me? ”

"And if I'm not mistaken, the Manchu wild boars have already taken care of themselves, a paper to kill Hu, the world is against it, they are too busy to fight fires everywhere, how can they come to attack Guangdong?"

"Huh."

"No need to hehe, what if even if the eight banners of the Manchu wild boar gather? I can beat them anyway. Li Chao smiled contemptuously, "I won't kill you immediately, I will let you see with your own eyes how technology that spans several eras crushes the skin of the Manchu wild boar." ”

"By the way, what's your name?"

Without waiting for the angry old man to speak, Li Chao turned around and left, "But why do I want to know your name?" Nobody, an old guy who can't even leave a name in history...... Arrest him and put him in prison. ”
