Sir, you have to pay more

Letting Queenie take over the old Fu's position as Minister of Rites is something that has been agreed before.

Although the Ministry of Rites is a Qingshui yamen compared to the other five, this yamen is in charge of two matters that Jia Liu cares most about.

One is of course the imperial mausoleum, and the other is the imperial examination.

Needless to say, the imperial mausoleum project is related to where the money and food for the new army of the Jia family will come from.

The imperial examination is related to why the Qing Dynasty died.

How did the Qing Dynasty die?

It was not the gunfire of the [-] Revolution, but the fruit planted by the Qing government's abolition of the imperial examination system.

Prior to this, scholars of the Han nationality continued to pass the imperial examinations to become officials of the Qing court. In order to maintain their status, these Han elites desperately suppressed the uprising.

The direct consequence was that there were countless anti-Qing uprisings in the Qing Dynasty, all of which ended in failure. Even the largest Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement was suppressed by the Han gentry.

There is no way, someone who jumped out of class like Jia Liu, after all, only one out of hundreds of years.

The abolition of the imperial examinations means that dozens or even millions of Han scholars have no way out overnight. The grief and resentment in their hearts need not be expressed. The result is that everyone tends to the revolution, or takes the initiative to participate in the revolution. Cheng, or sit on the sidelines and watch the Qing Dynasty perish.

Of course, Jia Liu will not abolish the imperial examinations. What he wants to do is to improve the imperial examinations and introduce modern academics, that is, Western learning, so as to lead China to the road of great powers.

But to improve the imperial examination is no less difficult than launching a Wuchang Uprising. After all, apart from Jia Liu himself, few people including his subordinates would agree to abolish the imperial examination.

If he really wanted to forcibly abolish the imperial examination regardless of the reality, Jia Liu might be the second Wang Mang.

How to improve it?

Of course, it is to let the current imperial examination system rot, so bad that no matter whether it is a bannerman or a Han Chinese, everyone hates it and actively asks for improvement.

To be precise, it is to make the imperial examination a mess, from the general examination to the rural examination, it is bad one after another.

Who is right for this task?

Apart from Queenie, Jia Liu really couldn't think of anyone else.

Therefore, of course he wanted to fight for the position of head of the etiquette department for Queenie.

Lao Fu now holds several positions, and is still the foreman of the military aircraft. There is no need to continue the noble position of Minister of Rites. Therefore, in the name of Qianlong, he readily conferred on Queenie as Minister of Rites and became the deputy head of the Empress Dowager's National Funeral Committee.

Of course, the team leader is Lao Fu, the foreman, who also works as a military plane. The team members also include the fourth son of the fourth devil, Jia Liu's brother-in-law, two military planes, and several princes.

The matter of Queenie was agreed from the very beginning, Lao Fu couldn't change his mind, and Lao Fu was reluctant to retain the post of Minister of the Ministry of Officials of Asiha.

Why?

Isn't it because Asiha is too useless?

In addition, Jia Liu also asked A Siha to enter the military aircraft department, and Lao Fu disagreed even more.

Jia Liu's solution is to send his dog-headed military advisor, Fan Wei, to find the picture of his uncle's color traces, and say that if the old man disagrees with Asiha's stay in the military aircraft department, then the restoration of the hereditary title of Prince Shang'an, the grandfather of his cousin, will be done. Well, his big nephew might have something to say.

In the end, Uncle Se found Lao Fu without saying a word, put pressure on him, and told Lao Fu the hard truth, then A Siha is a trash, why should you offend his cousin because of a trash.

Before leaving, he said earnestly and earnestly: "This is a great situation, hard-won, the generals will be in peace, the world will be at peace, look forward to Zhongtang and think twice!"

There was no other way, Lao Fu had no choice but to pinch his nose and correct the order again, and Asiha got his wish and became the seventh Minister of Military Aircraft of the Military Aircraft Department.

In addition to the old Fu, the first six are Prince Yongxuan, the fourth elder brother who walks in the military plane, Qinggui and Suolin, the Manjun military plane, Liang Guozhi and Yuan Shoutong, the Han military plane.

The seven ministers of military aircraft are also in line with the operating rules of the military aircraft department, so they vote with a difference.

Lao Fu didn't agree with the matter of He Shen's staying in his post at first. All the civil and military officials in the court knew that He Shen was the one who was handpicked by the emperor, and he was loyal to the emperor.

For such a person, Laofu can let him stay in the court and hold important positions as Minister of the Household Department and Minister of Internal Affairs?

Therefore, resolutely do not agree.

However, Jia Liu insisted that He Shen serve as the servant of the household department, because although He Shen is a corrupt official, his financial management ability is unparalleled in the world.

Not everyone can save [-] million worth of property in the Qing Dynasty!
He Shen was able to earn [-] million taels for himself, how many financial problems did he solve for the Qing Dynasty?
The most important thing is that He Shen is a rare Manchurian who strongly advocates opening up Shanghai, that is, he has always advocated trade with Western countries, and it was under the arrangement of He Shen that Malgany's British mission was able to enter Beijing.

It's a pity that Qianlong's arrogance cut off the opportunity for the Qing Dynasty to keep pace with the West.

Now that Qianlong has become Chen Jialuo, Jia Liu must of course discover the financial value of Heshen.

Hearing that Old Fu refused to allow He Shen to return to office, Jia Liu angrily slapped his son's diaper on his face, and said cursingly, "What does Old Fu mean? Now my words won't work? He's Sima Yi, I'm still Sima Yi!"

"Master, if you really can't do it, get rid of Lao Fu. You can't find a two-legged toad, and there are plenty of people in the middle hall with two legs!"

Shuan Zhu didn't think it was a big deal to watch the excitement, so he handed another diaper that he was about to wash to the young master.

Master Dabao just pulled this diaper.

"..."

Jia Liu felt that he had to give Lao Fu some color, so that he would know that his status as a boxer was entirely the result of his own efforts.

The wings are not hard, don't want to do it alone without me!
So he wrote a letter angrily, praising the eldest son of the old rich, Sanger, who participated in politics in Jiangxi, for his meritorious service in Anjing.He also instructs A Siha to arrange the second son of the old rich man, that naughty playboy, An Mu, to work as a doctor in the Ministry of Industry.

They also asked people to quickly horse-drawn the funeral objects of the Tailing Mausoleum distributed to Lao Fu, plus 30 yuan of melted gold bricks, to Lao Fu's mansion.

When the things were delivered, Lao Fu was not at home and was busy at the military aircraft. His wife Niu Hulu received them.

After the old rich returned home, Niu Hulu kept persuading her husband not to offend the son-in-law of Prince Xin's mansion who had soldiers in his hands.

It's really sugar-coated.

Lao Fu had no choice but to agree with He Shen to stay in office.

But when it came to Yang Jingsu's reinstatement as the governor of Zhili, the old rich was really determined, and he didn't let go. Jia Liu was so angry that he rushed to the capital overnight to settle accounts with the old rich.

Since the old rich family moved to the vicinity of the imperial city, far away from the Nine Gates, although Jia Liu came here quietly in the middle of the night, he still brought a battalion of security guards with him.

The old rich family also had guards. Seeing Lord Jia Jia Shikai surrounded Zhongtang Mansion with so many guards, he immediately reacted with stress.

Demu hurried forward to hand over the post, and said a few words to Lao Fu's captain of the guard, and the other party put down his guard and let someone enter to inform Master Zhongtang.

After sleeping soundly when he was woken up, Lao Fu was very angry and wanted to put his six sons outside for a while and tell him to blow the northwest wind, but he couldn't stand the old wife's broken mouth, so he had to get up in dismay and asked to be invited. The six virtuous brothers went to the study.

Jia Liu entered Fu Mansion, not alone, with personal bodyguards such as Demu and Baozhu.

A total of 80 people, fully armed, the kind who never leave.

"What do you mean? Bring so many people to my house?"

Old Fu looked at Wu Yaya and the bodyguards who entered the study with Jia Liu, and he was really angry.

"Brother knows me as a human being, and I'm afraid that my brother will hit me with a black gun and stab my black knife."

Jia Liu confirmed that there was only an old rich man in the study, and immediately felt relieved, and waved his hand to signal Demu and the others to wait outside the door.

Old Fu knew Jia Liu's purpose of coming here late at night, but he kept silent.

Jia Liu laughed dryly, picked up the big cigarette pouch on Lao Fu's desk, filled it with shredded tobacco, and handed it to Lao Fu to light it up: "Brother, smoke!"

The old rich "Bada" took two puffs, but still ignored Jia Liu.

Jia Liu had no choice but to say, "I'll ask my elder brother to take care of Yang Jingsu's matter."

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Old Fu sprayed a smoke ring on Jia Liu's face, "The emperor said that Yang Jingsu had no faults in eight years, and Fang Zhun was allowed to return. It's only been less than a year. How can he be reinstated as governor?"

"Old man, do you mean it!"

Jia Liu was choked by the old rich and coughed a few times. He was so angry that he touched his waist, but before he took out his small gun, the old rich had already held an imperial short pistol in his hand. The muzzle of the muzzle was facing Jia Liu brightly.

The action is much faster than Jia Liu.

This frightened Jia Liu, he didn't dare to move for a while, and after a while, he sneered: "Brother, have you practiced?"

"I have practiced, but I don't have ammunition in this pistol,"

Lao Fu threw the pistol on the table, "Yang Jingsu can't be reinstated as governor of Zhili, but you can."

"Uh?"

Jia Liu was taken aback, what do you mean?
