"However, Weichen's Fukang Qianzhuang has contacted the ticket numbers in Jiangnan, and it is necessary to let all parts of Jiangnan fully support the new currency, but when it comes to the north, then it can only be the Fukang Qianzhuang family to undertake the new currency. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info" Hu Xueyan said.

Empress Dowager Cixi nodded, although Hu Xueyan's words were light, but he had already shown that he was completely tied to the imperial court, and if he accepted the new coin, he would inevitably fight against the ticket number financiers in the north.

"It's not that time," the Empress Dowager Cixi glanced at Hu Xueyan, "You Hu Caishen has a delicate heart, you won't say that you will simply die like this, right?" If you have any little Jiujiu in your heart, say it as soon as possible, Yan Jingming is also here, let's refer to it together. ”

"It's not time yet, please forgive the Empress Dowager," Hu Xueyan said, "I have a vague idea, but I haven't asked Yan Zhongtang for instructions yet, this needs to be negotiated with several ministries, how to solve the financial crisis, and not let the issuance of new coins have problems and affect the majesty of the imperial court." ”

His words were full of respect, that is, he had not reported to Yan Jingming for instructions, and he would not take out his own ideas, but Yan Jingming did not eat this set, "The Queen Mother, the new garden is to be built the year after tomorrow, and the time is calculated, and now the silver is ready to be allocated, but now the silver does not know where to raise it, according to the meaning of Wei Chen, it is very difficult, it is better to move the construction of this garden back, the minister estimates, postpone this additional expenditure, even if the new currency is not issued, the court can also support it." ”

Hu Xueyan was taken aback, raised his head and saw the face of the Empress Dowager Cixi, and hurriedly lowered his head, "What?" Do you mean to stop building a garden? The Empress Dowager Cixi raised her eyebrows, "What do you mean by that?" ”

"That's what Weichen means," Yan Jingming said in a deep voice, "The new garden is not beneficial to the country, if there is spare money in the past, there is naturally no second word, but now it is a time when financial resources are tight, and it is not suitable to build a garden again." ”

Hu Xueyan couldn't help jumping when he listened, this Yan Jingming is really too bold, no one in the entire military aircraft department said that he would not build a garden, only you, Yan Jingming dared to speak like this!

Next, I was afraid that I was going to be angry, Hu Xueyan hurriedly raised his vigilance, these years the Empress Dowager Cixi has become more and more true, the Minister of Military Aircraft has only the will to do everything, and the wise and decisive is like the three generations of emperors of Kang Yongqian, Yan Jingming actually dared to speak against the tune in person, this courage is really too big!

"Not suitable?" The Empress Dowager Cixi coldly repeated these three words, and there was a suffocating silence in the hall, and after a long time, the Empress Dowager Cixi did not get angry, but said calmly, "You kneel down." ”

Obviously, the Empress Dowager was very dissatisfied with Yan Jingming, but she didn't have a seizure immediately, I don't know whether she thinks what Yan Jingming said is very reasonable, or she is too lazy to speak, at this time, it is obvious that the Empress Dowager is unwilling to continue to discuss this topic, so the two ministers withdrew, leaving only the two eunuchs to stay in the Dongnuan Pavilion, An Dehai's original panicked expression disappeared, replaced by a very calm expression, the Empress Dowager Cixi glanced at An Dehai, Li Lianying hurriedly said, "Buddha, please dissipate your anger, It's not worth the idleness for the life below. ”

"That's it, these people, don't bother to be angry with him." The Empress Dowager Cixi closed her eyes, "I don't know what to do these days, I can't eat, I'm lazy to do things, I was very angry just now, I didn't expect it to be like this for a while, I don't want to pay attention to Yan Jingming, and I don't know what's wrong?" The Empress Dowager Cixi yawned, and she seemed to be bored with nothing at all.

"Maybe it's because the solar terms are not good these days, so the Holy Communion is a little tired," said An Dehai, "It's better to ask the Imperial Doctor to come and ask for a peace pulse." ”

The Empress Dowager was noncommittal, and Li Lianying said, "Lord Li Hongzhang is outside, let him kneel down first?" ”

"No need," Empress Dowager Cixi was in tears, she yawned just now, relieved her sleepiness a little, she stretched out her hand and looked at some green cards in a rosewood tray placed on the edge of the throne, which said the officials to meet today, she waved her hand casually, messing up those green cards, "It's called Li Hongzhang, the next one is gone, and I'll call it tomorrow." ”

"Yes."

Li Hongzhang walked in solemnly, stepped into the Dongnuan Pavilion, threw up his sleeves and knelt down to say hello, the Empress Dowager Cixi regained her calm appearance, "What are you doing here?" The Empress Dowager Cixi nodded at Li Hongzhang, who stood up, and smiled, "It's not popular to give such a big gift now." ”

"Weichen hasn't seen the Western Sage for many years, so he naturally wants to pay a big salute," Li Hongzhang said with a smile, "It's not as good as the adults in the court can **** see the Western Sage." ”

"This is the loyal minister of the imperial court," Empress Dowager Cixi put her left elbow on the cushion and smiled at Li Lianying and An Dehai who were waiting on both sides, "When the etiquette is counted, this person's heart will be comfortable." ”

There are words in this, Li Hongzhang also faintly heard the voices of several people inside outside just now, knowing what the Empress Dowager meant, he didn't answer, just smiled slightly, the Empress Dowager Cixi didn't ask about this topic, stretched out her hand and handed it over, Li Lianying brought a small round stool to Li Hongzhang, "Sit down and talk, your age is not too young," the Empress Dowager Cixi took the tea brought by An Dehai and took a sip, "When I saw you before, it was when I was in Shanghai, and it has only been a few years, and your hair is so white, Is it not going well in Henan and Shandong? ”

Li Hongzhang replied, "Henan Shandong foreign affairs have not been much before, these years have been carried out, it is a mess, Henan has a very large population, but there are not many fields planted, in previous years, when there were occasional droughts and floods, it was easy to have displaced people, these years the wind and rain were smooth, the queen mother blessed, these two places, are stable, trains and ships and official roads are open, but it is not particularly busy, but the mountains and rivers are the Yellow River aisle, the river defense matter, a little tricky, but also to deal with. ”

Li Hongzhang said some local things, in fact, most of these things are not the affairs of the governor's office, they should be specific errands run by political envoys and governors, but Li Hongzhang took these over and said it himself, "These two bodies are very young and strong, and they have recruited some good soldiers and seedlings over the years, thinking that after a few years of training, they will be able to be selected into the new army." ”

After all, military affairs are the governor's job, the Empress Dowager Cixi listened for a while, nodded and said, "It's good to do a good job in the mountains and rivers," she lowered her head and took another sip of tea, "Do you want to move a position?" (To be continued.) )
