The two brothers looked at each other.

Hu Er wanted Hu Dan to take the idea.

The dancing little Ling'e said, "I want to go to ...... too"

Zhao Chuanxin didn't want to think about it: "I'll talk about it later." ”

When you get to the north, maybe you fight every day and go looking for death?

One or two, he can still protect it thoroughly, and he can't manage it if there are too many people.

And now there are two places for apprentices and Rebecca Levy.

Xiao Ling'e stomped her feet in hatred.

Hu Da was very embarrassed: "Mr. Zhao, I can't hide it, I rejected Bao Shanyi last time and offended him." I'm worried he's going to do it to my family. ”

After that, he glanced at Xiao Ling'e, mainly because Bao Shanyi wanted Xiao Ling'e to be his daughter-in-law. But the whole family didn't agree, and let Xiao Ling'e marry Aminbu's straw bag.

Zhao Chuanxin waved his hand: "You go and tell Ah Minbu and his father Bao Shanyi, your family is small, and you have bought Zhao Chuanxin's insurance, who will move your family, Zhao Chuanxin killed him and his chickens and dogs are restless." He thought he could do it, and he could give it a try. In the future, the Hailar area will be stable, and you can take your family to live. ”

After speaking, Zhao Chuanxin threw away another bag of money as a settling-in fee.

This is a different kind of business, different from Lugang Town, Xuantian Sect, Heavenly Flying Knife Guest, and the other forces of the New York Food Truck Gang.

The reason why the Qing court engaged in anger and resentment on the grassland was that the Han people were relocated to the real border to reclaim the famine, the second was that various taxes were used to fill the treasury and hollowed out the grassland foundation, and the third was to deprive the princes and nobles of the Mengqi during the implementation of the new policy.

will offend both the upper and lower levels.

Zhao Chuanxin has to prepare some Mongolian management.

There are too many Meng, and others are worried that they can't hold it down, is he still afraid of this? Whoever dares to rebel against him can try the knife advantage.

With Zhao Chuanxin's words, plus doing things for Zhao Chuanxin, Zhao Chuanxin has become the backer of his brothers.

Hu Da nodded solemnly: "I am willing to drive for Mr. Zhao!" ”

Zhao Chuanxin asked them to set off tomorrow and assigned them tasks in advance.

Yao Bing followed Xiao Ling'e and Hu Hansan to play crazy.

At night, when you are tired, you will fall asleep on the kang.

Zhao Chuanxin first agreed with the two brothers of the Hu family and asked them to rush to Hailar first.

Wrapped Yao Bing, tied him to his body, and carried him back to the Kaiping Mining Bureau.

Nearly three hours after arriving in Kaiping, Zhao Chuanxin was tired enough, and Yao Bing continued to sleep.

Although Zhao Chuanxin was tired, he couldn't sleep.

Growing up so big, he hasn't done a few "serious things" in other people's mouths.

Not doing business, idle, second-rate, scoundrel...... are all basic adjectives to describe him.

Someone once asked Zhao Chuanxin what kind of official he wanted to be.

Zhao Chuanxin said: "Village chief. ”

Later, the village chief was no longer called the village head, but the village party secretary.

He didn't think he could do anything else except the village chief.

Now he wants to be a prefect, and he has crossed several levels.

In the official room, everyone is gone, only Zhao Chuanxin is there.

He wrote on paper with a fountain pen:

The main functions of the province are: to manage the Karon (border post), to patrol the borders, and to negotiate with Russia (including with Manchuria, a subsidiary of the Eastern Railway).

Secondary functions: recruiting people to reclaim famine, opening up taxation, collecting displaced people, civil litigation and other administrative justice.

This is the priority that the Qing court wants, or the priority that Xu Shichang wants.

Zhao Chuanxin thought about it and crossed out the major and secondary.

Since it is his territory, there is no priority or priority, everything is important.

Then, he wrote: Department - 1. Bureau of Negotiations with Russia (unknown). 2. Karen. 3. Accounting firms. 4. Bureau of Reclamation. 5. Bureau of Government and Goods. 6. Patrol Police Station. 7. Schools. 8. Courts.

In addition to these, there are also some chaotic departments, with duplication of functions, serious redundancy, and mutual constraints, and Zhao Chuanxin is simply withdrawn. He is in charge of his territory, and anyway, the Qing court said that he can be self-governing.

Of course, perhaps the autonomy that Zhao Chuanxin understood was not the same thing as what Xu Shichang and the Qing court said.

Li Guangzong communicated with Xu Shichang, and Xu Shichang said that the Bureau of Negotiations with Russia needs the Qing court to send someone to serve as the general office, and this is necessary. The purpose is actually to restrain Zhao Chuanxin's power. Because he was worried that Zhao Chuanxin would do something wrong.

The rest is decided by Zhao Chuanxin himself, starting from scratch.

Karen is the border post, and Zhao Chuanxin already has candidates for Kaben, deputy card officer, and chief card officer in his heart, but he still needs some complicated and troublesome operations, including the vague Obo (boundary stone pile, which is equivalent to the boundary pillar of Majima) that needs to be re-surveyed.

The general office of the accounting firm, Zhao Chuanxin, also has a candidate.

In the latter few departments, Zhao Chuanxin is facing a situation where no one is available.

It's just that he lingered in the official goods bureau for a long time, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he filled in his name - General Office, Yao Jia.

Then a rare telegram was sent to Lugang Town.

In Lugang Town, Zhao Zhongyi has recently had some gray hair on his temples.

He practiced martial arts, and his nutrition could keep up, and he was in the prime of life, and the only reason for growing gray hair was that he was too worried.

Especially after Liu Guigui went abroad to lead the team to participate in the Olympic Games, everything was pressed on him.

His wife and mother, seeing that he was so worried every day, were almost distressed to death.

It's past nine o'clock, and it's already late for people at this time.

But Zhao Zhongyi is still working at the desk.

In order to protect your eyes, you should not only set up a table lamp, but also use a shed lamp on the top of your head, and there should be wind lamps around you.

Just then, the telegraph machine rang.

Zhao Zhongyi was stunned.

At this time, there is usually no telegram coming.

He looked at the note and checked it against the translation.

After translating for a moment, he suddenly shook his head and smiled: "This kid." ”

After the translation was finished, he said "Huh": "Looking for my eldest brother?" What can he do? ”

Receiving telegrams is acceptable, but replying is troublesome. Zhao Zhongyi was not familiar with the telegraph, and it took a lot of effort to send a word: Okay.

Here, Zhao Chuanxin also smiled, and he could think of Gao Zu's struggling typing.

In fact, sometimes he really thinks that his buddies are more cordial, and Gaozu distances the relationship.

Ha, even thinking about it feels a bit rebellious.

The next day, Zhao Chuanxin received Yao Jia's reply: Passing the salary, my brother is bored, I got my brother's letter, and I am glad to reply to it.

Zhao Chuanxin wants to be happy.

This guy is really good at making a scene.

He will not be like the Qing Dynasty people who do not speak human words.

So he talked about the whole article, described the matter roughly, and then invited him to serve as the general office of the official goods bureau.

Yao Jia replied: Brother, good vision! When will you take office?

Zhao Chuanxin: "......"

It's quite positive, and it's also an official fan.

Zhao Chuanxin not only let him leave immediately, but also handed over the task to him first.

Yao Jia patted her chest and promised to complete the task.

Not even mentioning travel expenses, this benevolent brother is not short of that little money.

sprinkled, Zhao Chuanxin said a lot.

As soon as it was finished, Zhao Xilong came from outside and whispered to Zhao Chuanxin: "Mr. Zhao, Zhou Xuexi is here, and he said that he came to send you the official seal and documents." ”

Zhao Chuanxin was stunned.

I'm blanching, the speed of the Qing court is really fast, and I can see how much Cixi wants him to get out of the way immediately.

He laughed.

This smile made Zhao Xilong laugh furiously: "Mr. Zhao, let him in?" ”

If he didn't come to deliver the official seal documents, he didn't need to ask for instructions at all, Zhou Xuexi almost regarded the Kaiping Mining Bureau as his own backyard, and he came and went at will.

But now it's different, even if Zhao Xilong doesn't stop him, Zhou Xuexi has to ask for instructions.

Because it's obviously weird.

Zhao Chuanxin waved his hand: "Let him come." ”

From Yu Qi onwards, to the staff below, they all put down the work at hand and stared at Zhao Chuanxin with blazing eyes.

When Zhao Xilong opened the door, Zhao Chuanxin also saw that the staff of the other eight rooms were also stretching their necks outside the door, getting rid of the turtle princess, and looked into the house one by one.

Seeing that Zhao Chuanxin was not disgusted, he even boldly followed behind Zhou Xuexi, ready to peek at the edge of the door.

The imperial court gave Mr. Zhao an official, and I blanched, which is a big anecdote.

Who doesn't know that Cixi and Zhao Chuanxin are not in the same place.

Who knows how these two men reconciled?

What exactly is this py transaction?

Zhou Xuexi had some embarrassment on his face, and after entering the house, he said, "Ahem, uncle, it's me." ”

"Oh." Zhao Chuanxin said lightly: "I'm not blind yet." ”

"Ahem...... Zhou Xuexi coughed violently: "Uncle, I won't read anything else, someone will say everything is simple." Normally, the seal letter is submitted from the Ministry of Rites to the Ministry of Rites, first to the Ministry of Officials, then to the Governor of the Yamen, then to the Yamen of the Political Secretary, and finally to the Undertaker. But somehow, somehow, it was handed over to me, and it rubbed a kick on my hand......"

Zhao Chuanxin stretched out his hand: "Take it." ”

Zhou Xuexi handed over things to Zhao Chuanxin like a hot potato.

There was an uproar among the people around.

The reason is that all this is too undignified.

It's not like it's a conferral at all.

Zhao Chuanxin looked at the official seal.

This is a straight brass seal, two inches and five minutes square, and six and four centimeters thick.

The printed surface is engraved with Manchu and Han double texts with hanging dew.

Left Manchu, right Chinese, word: Yin Binfu seal.

There were four more feet in the seal, three of which had been worn away, and one was left.

As long as this foot is not sharpened, it will not be able to press the seal normally and smoothly.

Knowing that Zhao Chuanxin had never been an official, Zhou Xuexi explained: "Uncle, this is called grinding feet and opening seals, grinding a foot every time you pass to prevent small people from stamping their seals privately." When resigning or resigning, a corner of the seal must be polished, so that the seal will not be fully covered, and a corner of each hand will be polished until the recovery is completed, which is called amputation and cancellation. ”

Zhao Chuanxin looked at the left Manwen and the right Hanwen, his brows were furrowed, and his eyes showed a fierce light.

Because the left is respected.

The people around immediately became nervous.

What kind of temper does Zhao Chuanxin have?

People who dare to bombard Cixi, what can't they do? I'm afraid I want to split this seal?

They didn't dare to breathe.

But somehow, Zhao Chuanxin held back.

With a sigh of relief, Zhao Chuanxin took out the elf carving knife, cut off the last foot with one sword, and put the seal aside.

Zhou Xuexi let out a sigh of relief.

At this time, Yao Bing ran in from outside: "Master, Master, hey, what is this......"

As he spoke, he hugged the prefect seal.

Zhou Xuexi wanted to stop it, but seeing that Zhao Chuanxin didn't squeak, he could only give up.

Yao Bing curiously took the prefect's seal to the side to play.

Everyone: "......"

It's really not a good idea.

Zhao Chuanxin picked up those paperwork again.

There is a letter of appointment and an introduction to the functions of the province.

Because he didn't speak human words, he let Zhao Chuanxin watch it for a long time.

Then he suddenly sneered.

Zhou Xuexi was bold: "Uncle, what's wrong?" ”

Zhao Chuanxin lit a cigarette, held it in his mouth, clasped his fingers on the table and said lightly: "It's nothing." ”

Having said that, everyone can see that Zhao Chuanxin is very dissatisfied.

But Zhao Chuanxin just didn't have a seizure.

It's very uncomfortable.

Because Zhao Chuanxin is not angry with others at will, everyone is more willing to see him angry, at least the air that is about to freeze will melt and shake.

The reason why Zhao Chuanxin sneered was because Cixi had a good calculation.

Before, when I discussed with Li Guangzong, I said it beautifully, what autonomy, what five wings and eight flags inside and outside are all under the jurisdiction of the Bin Mansion.

They removed the Hulun-Bell deputy capital and added the Hulun military reserve road, but it was not implemented according to the normal new policy, and now the military preparation road function is no different from the original deputy capital commander yamen.

The main tax burden is still collected by the military preparation road, and the five wings are still under the jurisdiction of the military preparation road. That is to say, in the future, there will be three parts of soldiers and horses in the Hailar area. One is a battalion of horses and horses, one is the soldiers and horses in the hands of the five-wing chief, and the other is the Karon patrol battalion of Yubin Mansion under the jurisdiction of Zhao Chuanxin. The first two are both under the jurisdiction of the military preparation road. (The official name is Hulun-City, and the local people call it Hailar City, the two are the same thing, so it is verbally called Hailar.) ）

The finances and the main military power are not in the hands of Zhao Chuanxin.

How many hands does he autonomous?

So what kind of tax can his Yubin Mansion collect?

Even when Karen was newly established, the tax burden collected by the fur trade and livestock trade through Karen was equivalent to this amount of money to support the soldiers of the patrol battalion, which would inevitably cause anger and resentment because of the additional exploitation of the local herdsmen.

This is what the Qing court meant, but it is not explicitly stated in the documents, because the Chinese language is broad and profound, and many places can be ambiguous.

But Zhao Chuanxin can imagine that when he goes to Yubin Mansion, Hulun's military preparation has already taken shape, what else can he do?

Zhao Chuanxin sneered, Cixi still underestimated him Zhao Chuanxin.

Since the document is not clear, it is just a hint, then don't blame Lao Tzu for being polite!

Zhou Xuexi waited for a while before he said cautiously: "Uncle, if that's the case, can I go back to the errand?" ”

Because no one wanted to come to contact Zhao Chuanxin and touch Zhao Chuanxin's bad head, he finally handed over this errand to Zhou Xuexi, obviously being a thief.

"Let's go back."

Zhou Xuexi was like being amnesty.

But as soon as I walked to the door, I remembered something again: "By the way, uncle, that, that, the court wants to know, when will you go to work?" ”

"Oh, when does the Qing court want me to go to work?"

Everyone looked at each other and listened in confusion.

Because Zhou Xuexi said "imperial court", Zhao Chuanxin said "Qing court".

Obviously, he didn't regard himself as an official of the Qing Dynasty at all......

"Go to work now!" Zhou Xuexi said without hesitation.

Because that's what people say.

"Oh, that's right." Zhao Chuanxin spit out a smoke ring, glanced at Yao Bing, who was playing with the big seal, and said: "Uncle is old, his legs and feet are not very sharp, he may have to walk for a few days, and it is uncertain when he will be able to reach Hailar, so you can report it like this." Anyway, before the snow fell, the climb also climbed. ”

"......" Zhou Xuexi was speechless: "Okay! ”

A smoke ran away.

In front of this uncle who is younger than himself, he really doesn't dare to be big.

A virtuous nephew must have the appearance of a virtuous nephew, and he can't be too steady.

In this way, even if he makes a mistake, his uncle will not be easily blamed, and with this backer, others will not dare to provoke him easily.

Zhao Chuanxin clapped his hands: "Okay, enough of the excitement, let's get busy, let's work hard." I found that I didn't sell coal recently, so I quickly contacted the business, and the landlord's family had no surplus grain......"

When Yu Qi heard this, he gave him a strange look.

Why is the coal not sold, don't you have a little pressure in your heart?

Is Zhao Chuanxin really not counting?

Is he really a fool?

If they hadn't guessed that Li Guangzong would have been in trouble, Zhao Chuanxin would be so obedient and said that if he let him do the prefect, he would do the prefect?

That seal clearly looks unpleasant, can he still obediently grind off the last kick to accept?

Cixi gave a prefect and was constrained everywhere, could he not have a seizure on the spot?

It's just that Li Guangzong is in trouble, but he doesn't want to make trouble for him without saying anything.

This kind of relationship should be between the two sides, Zhao Chuanxin guessed it, pretended not to know, promised to come down, did not make any extraneous branches, and connected this seal, which also saved them a lot of trouble.

What's more, Yao Jia told him that Zhao Zhongyi actually gave birth to gray hair this year.

That high-spirited ancestor had gray hair at a young age.

Everyone around him is working hard, not so much that Zhao Chuanxin has become diligent, but that he is embarrassed to be lazy.

Zhao Chuanxin got up with a cigarette in his mouth, picked up Yao Bing, snatched the official seal from his hand and said, "Engrave a seal for the teacher." ”

Placing him on the desk, he took out a piece of mutton fat jade, took out the elf carving knife, thought about the layout and began to carve.

Three times five divided by two, the jade chips fly.

The top is the eagle button with wings spread, and the bottom is only an ordinary regular script.

After a while, after the jade seal was engraved, Zhao Chuanxin got a rope to put on and handed it to Yao Bing: "There is ink clay over there, you go and dip it and print it on the paper." ”

Yao Bing rattled and crawled over, and dragged the ink in front of Yu Qi.

Bang Bang pressed it inside several times.

Then press it on the paper.

Click......

Zhao Xilong and Yu Qi probe.

I saw a small red word circled in a rectangle appear on the paper: Yao Bingyin, the invincible general of the universe.

It is also followed by a smiley face emoji.

Zhao Xilong: "......"

Yu Qi: "......"

The key is that the jade seal is not big, how can these many words be carved on it?

In a moment's effort, can it be carved like this?

The carver is amazing!

Yao Bing was illiterate, he used his chubby fingers to pick out the last smiling face on the paper and laughed non-stop, printed it several times, connected the smiling face into an oval, and had a lot of fun.

Seeing this, Zhao Chuanxin carved a few stick figure small animal prints for him, and strung them together for him to print and play.

Seeing that Zhao Chuanxin took it out casually, it was either jade, or jadeite, southern red turquoise, beeswax, gold and silver, etc., and the most unfortunate thing was also a small leaf red sandalwood, Zhao Xilong and Yu Qi looked at it staggeringly-really reluctant.

……

When Cixi received the news that Zhao Chuanxin received the official seal, she really had a heart problem, and even her appetite was much better that day.

She said to Zhang Zhidong: "All people have to grow up after all, and Zhao Chuanxin is no exception." ”

This time, she rarely used "thief", "this fang", and "thief" to call Zhao Chuanxin, thinking that Zhao Chuanxin knew the current affairs, or that she pressed Zhao Chuanxin this time.

Zhang Zhidong hesitated and asked cautiously: "Zhao Chuanxin has no objections?" ”

It is said that Zhao Chuanxin's family business is quite large, shouldn't he be a fool?

Obviously, the Yubin Mansion is a coaxing trick, he can't see it?

Cixi snorted coldly: "What objection can he have?" He is just a vulgar martial artist, and he may still have the dream of being a big official. The ambition is so big that he actually wants to expand the territory of Yubin Mansion to Kulun, and he dares to think about it! Look, when he arrived, he found that it was difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, so he could only be trapped in trivial matters and could not extricate himself. ”

It was a good thing, but Zhang Zhidong saw that Cixi was so optimistic, and suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

Is Zhao Chuanxin a fool? Is it a fool?

It doesn't look like it by any means.

I hope it doesn't get out of control.

……

Lee Kwang-jong is talking to Xu Shichang.

Li Guangzong sneered: "Governor Xu, it's time for the Qing court to let go, if we don't let go, our head will be beheaded by the dog, and I can't persuade him at that time!" ”

Xu Shichang smiled embarrassedly: "Okay, don't worry, since Zhao Tangong has received the seal, the imperial court should handle it properly." ”

After hanging up the phone.

Li Guangzong said to Zhou Min, the little secretary who looked like Liu Jiahui: "As soon as there is news, notify me immediately." Holy shit, it's really not a thing! ”

"Yes!" Zhou Minjiao responded, turned around and went out, with a variety of styles around her waist.

Li Guangzong's face was haggard, rubbing his chin and stubble, and he looked at the sea view outside the floor-to-ceiling window and fell into deep thought......

……

Zhao Chuanxin stayed for a few days.

He took his apprentices Yao Bing and Rebecca Levi north the day before the Chung Yeung Festival.

When he left, he didn't notify anyone except Yu Qi, and he was very low-key.

The first-class carriage of the Gyeongbong Railway.

Originally, it was very full of people, and most of the people who sat up were foreigners.

But now?

Half of the seats were empty.

Because of the passengers who often take the train inside and outside the Kansai, there is a saying recently: "First-class carriages are risky, so you must be cautious when riding the train." ”
