The bolt pillar was still young, lacked experience in fighting the enemy, and was quickly defeated in front of the scheming young master.

Confessed that when he came back, Wang Fu, the general soldier of Sichuan, gave him 1,000 taels, Chang Bingzhong, the deputy general of Chengdu Town, Zu Yingyuan, the deputy general of Jinchuan Town, and Ma Dayuan, the deputy general of Chongqing Town, each gave him 500 taels, plus the others sent him, a total of more than 4,000 taels.

That's a lot of money, in terms of purchasing power, it's almost more than 800,000.

"Do you know why the eunuchs in the palace used to like to run out? It's because these eunuchs can go to other places to take advantage of people's power and collect money everywhere in the name of the emperor! ”

"Yang Zhi, Yang Zhi, what are you telling me to say about you! You're going to be in my ears, aren't you? You really think I'm not going to bury you alive in a coffin! ”

Jia Liu was so angry that he spat and counted the silver tickets handed in by the bolt pillar one by one to ensure that the numbers could match the bolt pillar.

"Young master, you really can't blame me for this, I said no, they had to stuff it for me, if I didn't want it, they wouldn't be happy, what did I look down on them... I thought that these people were all trusted generals by the young master, so I took them for the young master first..."

The direction of the bolt pillar also turned quickly, and when he saw that something was wrong, he quickly cried out, and claimed that he was uniting his subordinates for the young master, not that he was motivated by his desire to make money under the banner of the young master.

"Shut up, I don't know about others, don't I know about you Yang Xuanzhu!"

"You're not honest when you're by my side, and you're not going to heaven if you're not by my side!"

"Nian is a first-time offender, forget it this time, and next time, don't blame the young master for being ruthless and burying you in a coffin with the old lady!"

Jia Liu squinted at the bolt pillar, then counted out a silver ticket of two hundred taels and threw it on the table, and snorted: "Take half of yours, Hugh will stain my eyes!" ”

"Isn't that right?"

Zhu Zhu was stunned and took the silver ticket of two hundred taels from the table, his face was flushed, and he finally mustered up the courage to ask: "Young master, I just said that I would surrender to half of it, why is it so much?" Shouldn't you give me 2,300 taels? ”

Jia Liu said "hey", raised his eyebrows and raised his eyebrows angrily: "Theoretically, this is the case, but I repeatedly ordered you not to accept money, but you took the lead in breaking my rules, do you have to pay a fine of 1,000 taels?" ”

“......”

The bolt pillar drooped his head, "Even if you fine me a thousand taels, won't there be 1,300 taels?" ”

Hearing this, Jia Liutou didn't raise his head: "Then you have to pay me a thousand taels." ”

"Pay a thousand taels?"

The bolt pillar is confused, and the punishment is fine, what else to lose?

"I trust you so much and treat you as a brother, but you accept money from people behind my back, do you say my heart hurts? Do you want to use money to make up for the wounds in my soul? ”

Jia Liu was heartbroken, and looked at the bolt pillar with hatred.

The bolt pillar was completely speechless, and he still muttered unwillingly: "That should also be 300 taels, and there is 100 taels less." ”

"You still have the face to say?"

Jia Liu was angry, "Do you want a bride price when you marry someone else's Qiu Tao?" ”

"Huh?"

The bolt pillar was stunned: Qiu Tao didn't tell him about the bride price.

Jia Liubai glanced at the stupid bolt: "Qiu Tao is your third young grandmother's personal maid, the name of the master and servant is actually a sister, when the sister and your brother-in-law don't receive a hundred taels of dowry, right?" ”

"Not much, not more!"

Both of the bolt's eyes were going to laugh together.

"That's not over."

Jia Liu was satisfied and put the 4,400 taels of silver tickets in his pocket, and motioned to the bolt pillar to find something to eat, he was going to blow out the lamp and sleep.

"Okay, young master!"

The bolt pillar happily went out of the door, walked halfway to the road, looked left and right like a thief, and after confirming that there was no one, he dodged and hid in the stable, squatted down and scooped up his trouser legs, took off the 1,000 taels of silver tickets tied to his knees, held them in his hands, and sniffed fiercely in the moonlight.

Taste, really fragrant.

Young master, I predicted your prediction, I can't think of it!

Bolt Zhu Meizizi stood up and put the 1,000 taels of silver tickets together with the 200 taels of silver tickets just now, carefully wrapped them in a handkerchief, and prepared to hand them over to Qiu Tao for safekeeping after returning to Baoding.

didn't think about it, turned around, but found that the young master and Baozhu were lying on the horse pen and looking at him quietly.

"You six!"

Jia Liu shook his head, sighed lightly, and went back to sleep silently.

At this moment, he finally knew why the people around the leading cadres have always been the most problem-prone group.

But knowing that the people around him are prone to problems, he just can't solve them.

Because, the limitations of the times.

If you really want to investigate this matter, you must pull Wang Fu's gang out and criticize it, the question is whether he, the leading wolf, can do this?

The foundation of the establishment of the Association is to make progress together.

At that time, he characterized progress as power and money.

This organization is essentially a corrupt organization, but it is more advanced than the Qing Dynasty, so it is a historical inevitability to replace the Qing Dynasty.

But what about after that?

This night, Jia Liu sat in front of the window on the third floor of the post station, looking at the bright moon in the sky, constantly smoking a dry tobacco bag, and his mind was full of a big chapter in the fate of the country.

In the end, he came to the conclusion that his mission was to lead China to become the first great power, so that everyone could have food, meat, money to spend, the right to speak, and the freedom to go wherever they wanted... Other problems of corruption and class solidification are actually false propositions for him.

Because, even if he lives to be 200 years old, he can't solve it, at most, he will be cured and relieved in the short term.

It's going to rain, my mother is going to get married, let it go.

No one can solve the problem, how to solve it.

Human beings are selfish by nature.

What's more, he is still 8,000 miles away from stealing the Qing regime, not to mention letting China enter industrialization ahead of schedule.

Without industrialization, China is still a mess, and it will take two or three hundred years to get on the right track.

But he still has to beat the bolt pillar, so he ignores the other party for the next two days, even if this kid hands over all 1,200 taels.

Finally, the last stop of the trip, Tianjin, arrived.

However, he did not enter Tianjin City directly, but came to the Zhili Military Industrial Park under the leadership of his second brother-in-law Gao Delu, who came to greet him.

Install the latest version. 】

Because Jia Liu required the construction of the industrial park to be matched with the development of Tianjin port, the industrial park was chosen at the mouth of the Haihe River, where most of the land is saline-alkali wasteland, so the interests of the people will not be infringed in the process of expropriation.

The planned industrial park will include not only weapons production plants, but also steel mines, as well as a number of factories for civilian facilities, covering an area of several square kilometers.

It is necessary not only to build a road leading to Tianjin, but also to build a road to the port, and there must be various supporting facilities inside the park, which can be said to be a construction process from scratch.

The project actually started last year, and a large number of dormitories and specialist buildings have been repaired.

The dormitory area is for the living and accommodation of the workers in the park, and the expert building is for foreign monks and craftsmen who have been packaged and hired from Beijing.

Due to the limited conditions, except for a few buildings that are brick and tile, the others are all wooden buildings.

Large and small construction sites are in full swing, and the largest construction site must be the Zhili Iron and Steel Plant.

The Ming and Qing dynasties have steel production, especially the Ming Dynasty steel manufacturing technology is the most advanced, there are many steel mills in the country, and the steel output is also the first in the world.

In the Qing Dynasty, steel production declined year by year, firstly, because the Qing court restricted firearms and did not need too much steel to cast guns and guns.

Last year, that is, the 40th year of Qianlong, the national steel output was about 40 million catties, and the calculation in tons was about 20,000 tons.

During the Ming Chongzhen period, it was about 45,000 tons.

That is, in the past 100 years, the steel output of the Qing Dynasty has decreased compared with the previous Ming Dynasty.

Jia Liu wants to engage in industry in Zhili, and steel is the foundation, and it is also the foundation of the military industry.

To make guns and cannons, you have to use steel.

It's just that before, steelmaking was all workshop-type, that is, it was made by a small bellows clay furnace, but this time he gave the idea of blast furnace steelmaking, and it was large-scale and standardized.

The Qianlong Dynasty did not lack skilled craftsmen, but only financial support and ideological support.

Jia Liu gave money and ideas, let the craftsmen develop it, and with the assistance of the Western monks, except for the steam engine, which could not be made for the time being, other achievements of Western industrialization could actually be made.

The second brother-in-law invited a craftsman surnamed Qin from Gao Jin of the Yangxin Palace Manufacturing Office combined with Master Jia Jia's ideas to successfully build the first blast furnace, and also successfully smelted molten iron that met the standards.

Therefore, Jia Liu's visit this time was to watch the results of blast furnace steelmaking on the spot, to prevent his second brother-in-law from reporting false accounts to him like a bureaucrat and bragging.
