"The income of the household department, since the opening of foreign affairs, at least doubled, the old Xianfeng years, I looked at the account book, but it was 30 million taels of silver, now Guangxu five years to 80 million taels of silver, six years is 98 million taels of silver, last year's income has not been calculated, I look at 10,000 taels is certain. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info I said that the book of the household department, it seems that there is a lot of money, in fact, it is the left hand in and the right hand out, where can I hide these tens of millions of taels of silver in the silver treasury? ”

"Now there is more money, and there is more expenses," Bao Jun complained, "the cost of the navy, the army, and the North Sea, this is the big head, as well as the trains, the factories of foreign affairs, and a lot of government-run mines and factories since last year." The coal mines in Shanxi, the iron mines in Mongolia, and the gold mines in Jinzhou all require a lot of silver to be invested in. There is also the construction of official roads. ”

Bao Jun said at length, "There is also this official, several provinces in the east have changed, and other provinces must also be changed, what is the way?" I had to come up with money from the household department to subsidize it. For this matter, the political envoys of the southeastern provinces and the household department fought for a long time, and felt that the center was biased. Now there is a Eight Banners reform! I'll be honest, if it weren't for the North Sea side of the stop, I would have jumped out against it first. ”

"The sale of the shares of the Suez Canal is just enough to prepare for the Eight Banners, so it's good to take precautions."

"The money hasn't arrived yet, but you're worried about it." Prince Gong smiled, "The Queen Mother may not give it yet." ”

"The old man of the Queen Mother is very rich, not bad for money, and the annual expenditure of the officers and soldiers of Zhenyuan is evident from the internal treasury."

"In this case, the shares of this canal cannot be sold cheaply," Prince Gong touched his short beard under his chin, thoughtfully, "and the French will not be able to make concessions." ”

"The French are very greedy, and now it's just a bargain." Jing Lian on the side said that since Wang Wenshao asked himself to retire from illness, Jing Lian, who was originally vacillating between Prince Gong and Zuo Zongtang, quickly fell to Prince Gong, and he was also present at today's meeting, "If you don't want to buy it, I'm afraid that you will have to turn around and leave, this is about France's position as a major shareholder on the Suez Canal, they dare not give it to the British, and the prince only needs to sit firmly on Diaoyutai." ”

"But Vietnam, we don't dare to give it to the French," Prince Gong sighed, "I'm afraid that we will have to make big concessions when the time comes." ”

"How could our prince take a fancy to these hundreds of thousands of taels of silver? In the past, Zeng Guofan broke through Jinling, and his savings for many years were destroyed by him with a light sentence and disappeared without a trace, I estimate, there are always tens of millions of taels, don't we reprimand a few words? ”

Prince Gong Tianhuang is noble, originally he didn't care much about money, Baojun flattered well, and he was also proud, "This silver is the queen mother, but now I can't speak, wait for the movement of the French." ”

Bao Jun and Jing Lian glanced at each other, "What does the prince mean, let the French get up and put pressure on the Queen Mother?" "And then make concessions on the Suez Canal shares?

"What's the matter, I just asked the Queen Mother to take care of the overall situation, this money is now very important, not only related to Annan's comfort, but also able to play a role in the matter of the Eight Banners, the Queen Mother will not understand." Prince Gong said with a smile.

"There is a Black Flag Army ...... Vietnam," Jing Lian said, glancing at Prince Gong.

"What is the use of a group of mud-legged people, the matter of Hue is just a coincidence. In the past, the Black Flag Army was driven to Vietnam by Feng Zicai, and now what can we make a fuss about, we were the same in the past, and we finally defeated the French, but they were afraid that they wouldn't do it. By the way, the Military Aircraft Department issued an order and told Zeng Guoquan of Liangguang that it was forbidden to open border provocations. ”

Jing Lian understood, "It is forbidden to conflict with the French, and it is forbidden to conflict with the Black Flag Army." ”

"Yes," Prince Gong said with a smile, "There is a conflict with the Black Flag Army, and people are scolded for communicating with foreign countries, and if they conflict with the French, they will also be scolded for colluding with bandits. It's better to just watch the show, as long as the French don't kill the king of Vietnam and don't attack Beiqi, everything is easy to talk about. I'm afraid that Zeng Guoquan will look at the county king who is the first of his eldest brother's eyes, and it will be bad to fight for the title of county king. ”

"Forbidden to provoke?" Gao Xinkui took the decree issued by the Military Aircraft Department to the governors of the provinces and repeated it, "What do you mean? Don't allow the two to have trouble? ”

Wang Kaiyun nodded, "I'm afraid it can't be wrong, our king of parliament, now one door and one heart and one thought is to seek stability, to tell the truth," Wang Kaiyun put down his pen, looked at the written Chen, took a sip of tea, and smiled at Gao Xinkui, "This is not wrong, if you take Beihai, you can live a peaceful life and take care of domestic affairs with peace of mind, but it's a pity," Wang Kaiyun shook his head, "He chose the wrong path." ”

"Xisheng will not be too soft on the outside, this is the foundation of her governance." Gao Xinkui said.

"Yes, the people's will is like this, she will not let it, other things can still be conceded, but this Vietnamese vassal is in a critical position, and under the noses of Liangguang, it is not the same as Kokand. That's why I said Prince Gong was on the wrong track. ”

Wang Kaiyun said, "He and Xisheng are no longer of the same mind. I'm not just talking about this matter, but also about the reform of the Eight Banners, Xisheng said that Prince Gong would agree, but I don't think he will approve of it, this doesn't mean that he is not afraid of being blamed, and he must take care of his reputation, and now such a word of support has not been said, do you think he is the Lord who approves of it? ”

Gao Xinkui glanced at Wang Kaiyun, "Renqiu, what do you mean, is it possible to change the commander?" ”

"Whether it can be changed or not, we can't understand Xisheng's thoughts," Wang Kaiyun raised his eyebrows, "Counting all these years, Xisheng has been able to govern and create the current situation, Prince Gong's merits cannot be erased, and to be honest, Xisheng is not the character of Emperor Sejong, she wants to have fun both in government and in government, and the affairs in the court and politics are basically only grasping major things, and the rest of the cumbersome affairs are handed over to Prince Gong, so there is still love after so many years." ”

Gao Xinkui only felt that the word "affection" was a little prickly, and hurriedly said, "If you talk about the Prime Minister of Taiping, Prince Gong really deserves it." ”

"It's deserved, it's a pity, even if it's the uncle of the Son of Heaven, it's been in this position for too long, think about it, after the coup d'état in Qixiang, it's been more than 20 years now, and Prince Gong has been serving as the foreman of the military plane! The Minister of Military Aircraft, except for one Li Hongzao and one Zuo Zongtang, the rest are all Prince Gong's people. There is a saying that flowing water is not rotten, the hub is not beetle, there is no change, there is no circulation, that is, it is easy to attract resentment, Prince Gong is wise to say, but it is not wise, it is wise to know not to contaminate the military power, and it is unwise that he does not know the rapid retreat. ”
