Lin Gao Qiming

Chapter 610

This sentence blocked the back tightly.The claim that they are so-called Australians is inherently groundless.And it's not a Westerner with red eyebrows and green eyes, it looks like it's not my race.Master Jiang originally couldn't say what he used to make use of.He squeezed the fan in his hand hard.

This trick was ineffective, so he had to use his backhand.Take out a big sign to bluff people.He coughed lightly:
"Secondly, it's a long story. I think it's better to open the skylight and speak plainly." He glanced at Pei Lixiu with his eyes, and said, "Master Futai, the old matriarch, will have her [-]th birthday in a few days."

Pei Lixiu nodded and said: "This is all registered in the dormitory. When the time comes, there will be no delays, and I will present it with a heavy gift. It's for shelter."

Master Jiang smiled and said: "This is just a matter of congratulations with the class according to the rules. How can the master be happy? With the current situation, does your proprietor not want the old lady of Master Li Futai to have a congratulations?" Kazakhstan?"

The element of blackmail and begging in these words is already very clear.Pei Lixiu frowned secretly, and had no choice but to say: "I still have to ask Mr. Jiang to give me some advice."

Master Jiang then said: "Master Futai's high hall, I have long heard that there is a self-propelled Australian time clock in the mansion. I really want to borrow it. I want to take a picture of the scenery on the birthday and let the relatives and friends who come to celebrate Eye-opener."

Pei Lixiu suddenly realized: it turned out that she had taken a fancy to the big mahogany clock in her room.

This thing is not very precious.If it weren't for Dr. Zhong Lishi's determination to wait until the self-produced clock technology is fully developed before going on the market, Guanglingao's modern mechanical clock accessories have hundreds of sets in stock, and the skillful craftsmen of Zizhenzhai can install a good-looking case immediately. there is.If giving it to Li Fengjie can alleviate the crisis, the price is not high.

But what Su Ai said to her came back to my mind again - "Rumors have been spreading all over the place recently, you must be able to control yourself, and don't make random decisions. There are too many black-hearted beasts out there who cannibalize people and don't spit out their bones!", In addition, she clearly remembered that Li Fengjie's old lady's birthday was not "the last few days" at all, and there was a set rule on how much money to send, and she would not send someone to come to urge her.Usually they don't come to the roll call to ask for something.

She stared at this sanctimonious "official face", at his smug smile and the fan he kept opening and closing.Decided to give him a try.

"Since the old matriarch loves you, I will send someone to deliver the clock to Master Futai's house as soon as I return to my slave's house. Please thank the old birthday star Hongfu for your appreciation."

"No, no, I've brought people here, and they will take it away. No need to send it away."

"This is not good. This congratulatory gift should be sent on the right day, dressed in red and colorful, and sent in a flurry of blows. Naturally, the slave's family is also going to kowtow to the old birthday star."

"no, I'm fine."

Pei Lixiu suddenly frowned, and said softly: "Oh, it's not right, it's not right."

Originally, Master Jiang was going to force himself to say that you don't have to work hard, but when he heard her say "inappropriate", he looked at her blankly.

"The thing in my house is called the Australian mahogany clock. Mister must know it."

"Exactly, exactly."

"Since it's Mrs. Futai's old matriarch celebrating her birthday, I'm sending a clock, this, this..." She changed her words, "I'm afraid it's extremely inappropriate."

Wouldn't "sending the bell" become "sending the end" when celebrating a birthday?This Mr. Jiang is just a clever rhetoric to seize this treasure clock in the name of Futai Lord's Taijun celebrating his birthday. He was not planning to make a birthday gift in the first place, so how could he think of this joint.Shown by Pei Li, she couldn't help being dumbfounded, and completely speechless.

Mr. Jiang left in a panic and angrily. Before leaving, he couldn't help but make a few cruel insinuations.Pei Lixiu didn't bother to talk to her, she had figured out that Mr. Jiang didn't come here on Li Futai's order at all, but came to blackmail him by taking advantage of the recent raid on Lingao.

Zheng Shangjie was a little worried when she found out—after all, the other party was someone close to the governor, so what if he was given eye drops at a critical moment?
"Hmph, he doesn't have the qualifications at all." Pei Lixiu said lazily, "It's not his turn to intervene in such a big matter. Besides, the governor's office of Guangdong and Guangxi hasn't made a decision on the matter of attacking Lingao." As for the matter, what role can he play as a clearer in Futai Yamen? I am afraid that he is not qualified to participate in secrets. Don't be afraid of him. I would rather send this mahogany clock to Li Futai's mansion, maybe it can play a role. Do something."

"Well, that's right. But should I discuss the matter of gift giving with Dongzhu Guo..."

"I'm just talking. Now our every move is a big deal, so of course he has to make up his mind." Pei Lixiu bit her lower lip——surprised that she didn't wear lipstick.

On Guo Yi's side, Sun Chang has already returned.He reported that most people still accepted the tea, but only a very small number of people met him and offered money for development.Most just replied to a post.There are also some people who say that the host is not there, so it is inconvenient to accept gifts.

He watched Sun Chang make the gift list one by one.See if there is any pattern in it.

From the looks of it, although the high-ranking officials and dignitaries who interacted with each other at the Guangzhou station have begun to alienate consciously, they have not yet reached the point of being decisive, which shows that the matter has not yet reached the final juncture.There is still room for improvement in all aspects.

To sum it up: it is obvious that the Guangdong government intends to use troops against Lingao.But the jury is still out.

Guo Yi paid a special visit to Gao Ju, and Gao Daguan also received similar news.He could hold his breath.Tell him directly: This thing is very strange.

"You don't have to panic too much, this matter is going to be impossible."

This is somewhat in line with my guess.Guo Yi thought.He deliberately asked for details, so he pretended to be puzzled and asked Gao Jian.

"If you want to attack Lingao, where will the soldiers come from? Where will the salary come from?" Gao Ju said with a smile, "There are no soldiers and no salary. Do you want the adults and masters in Guangzhou to fight against you?"

He told Guo Yi that the Guangdong treasury couldn't come up with such a large sum of money.

"The soldiers under He Zhen haven't been paid for almost a year. Unless Wang Zhitai has the ability to generate hundreds of thousands of salaries, the crusade against Lingao is nothing but empty talk."

"I see. Is it groundless?"

"Not necessarily. At least, Wang Zhitai has this idea." Gao Ju said, "Think about it, Fujian's Xiongfutai is so strong, how can he succeed if he doesn't make any achievements? He offended so many people in Guangdong , at that time, I am afraid that I will not be able to explain to the court!"

"You shouldn't be careless." Gao Ju said, "The current policy is to find a solid backer early and invest in it."

The meaning of holding high is the same as that of Su Ai, asking them to vote for Eunuch Yang, so that the greedy hands stretched out by all parties can be appeased.

"My little brother can't decide on this—"

"Yes, you still have to ask shopkeeper Wen about it." Gao Ju was in good spirits, "Lao Wen hasn't been to Guangzhou for a long time, so is Lingao better than Guangzhou? It's really embarrassing!"

"Where, where." Guo Yi was about to excuse Wen Desi, and waved his hands high: "Go and talk to Shopkeeper Wen. It's not a long-term plan for him to occupy Lingao like this! We should make a plan early!"

Comparing these aspects, Guo Yi probably has a bottom line in his mind.In his report to Lingao, he said: The possibility of the Guangdong Ming army being dispatched in a short period of time is very small.

However, the spread of this news made the situation of Guangzhou Station more difficult.Not only did Ziminglou's business volume drop sharply, but just as Su Ai predicted, the political climate in Guangzhou seemed to have changed in the following seven or eight days.The number of people coming to Ziming Building has decreased significantly, and appointments have almost disappeared.On Guo Yi and Pei Lixiu's side, various guests began to appear in an endless stream.

All of these guests have big backgrounds when they open their mouths: if they are not the governor’s client, they are the governor’s relatives, if they are not the guarding eunuch’s long entourage... they come to visit one by one, asking for money, some don’t want money, excuses The owner is interested in "Australian Curiosities" and hopes to borrow them to have a look.One reason after another for the extortion.If there is any negligence, there will be threats in the vicious words.

Fortunately, Pei Lixiu has already got the bottom line from Su Ai, and Gao Ju sent someone to take care of them secretly: don't be afraid of this group of people - they are just relying on the name of the master to extort some benefits, even if they are given to them, it is useless, it will only attract people. These people kept coming in batches.Later, Guo Yi simply asked Sun Chang to see him, saying that he was not feeling well, and simply closed the door to thank the guests.

But in private, he has been doing various preparations to deal with various situations that may be encountered.He ordered Sun Kecheng to deploy more people to the vicinity of each name shop to prevent someone from instigating riots; secretly mobilize cash from various channels to Delong's general bank, and be ready to deal with the run of each name shop anytime, anywhere.Externally, all shops are operating normally.Especially for those who request to withdraw deposits in advance, the principal and interest will be calculated accordingly.Don't show any embarrassment.

What made him a little relieved was that although Sun Kecheng, Shen Fan and other indigenous management had not passed Lingao's review, they were loyal to the Guangzhou station.Shen Fan meant to talk to Liang Cunhou.

"Mr. Liang and his son are not only kind-hearted, but also upright in their dealings. If the owner wants to donate, why don't you donate Zizhenzhai to his family." Shen Fan is quite enthusiastic about donating, thinking that it is a solution to the current problem the best way.

"The Liang family is a big gentry family in the local area, and my grandfather was a member of the central government. Their foundation is extremely deep. With their support, no one in Guangzhou would dare to make an idea of ​​the proprietor's property!"

Furthermore, Liang Cunhou cooperated with Guo Yi and others to run the Cihui Hall, and their personal friendship is very shallow. This relationship is different from ordinary shop owners.

"If ordinary shopkeepers want to donate, people still don't want to accept it." Shen Fan seems to mean that people are willing to take your property for nothing, which is already giving you a super big face.This made Guo Yi very unhappy.

At night, Guo Yi stayed up almost all night in his room.The environment of this time and space is indeed a hundred times more complicated than that of the old time and space.The collusion between officials and businessmen is too much, and the benefits of being an official are too much for this group of officials.Unexpectedly, they didn't count the benefits they got, and wanted to swallow it in one gulp!
What worries him now is how to solve the crisis in Guangzhou station.

Guo Yi wasn't afraid of the crusade against Lingao that he had heard about - it was just self-destruction.Lingao must be safe and sound.But Guangzhou Station is facing a great crisis in this matter.

Dedicating a family name to Yang Gonggong or Liang's family is a choice that compromises.However, neither the Senate nor the Executive Committee could pass it.

He has now fully figured out that Lu Yizhong's idea seems to cater to Wang Zunde's eagerness to make meritorious service at sea, but in fact it hides the evil intentions of the various brands in Guangzhou Station.

He doesn't care whether the Australians can stay in Lingao, but he wants to take advantage of this reason to win the Guangzhou station!
However, for a retired magistrate, the appetite is too big!
Could it be that there are other people behind him?Guo Yi became alert. Lu Yizhong was just a resigned magistrate, relying on Wang Zunde's trust to run amok in Guangdong and Guangxi.I don't have much power, even if Guangzhou Station really had to obediently vote for him, he wouldn't be able to keep it!Thinking of this, he realized that the person who conspired to seize the Guangzhou station should have a much higher status, at least he was an eunuch in the palace at the level of Eunuch Yang or a central member of the court.

It's just that this person hasn't shown his true colors yet.

He took a sip of the tea that could barely feel the warmth, and stood tall by the window.The moon appears and disappears in the night sky.The north is still that impenetrable black cloud.

The telegram sent from Guangzhou about Ming's use of force against Lingao used the most urgent call sign.As soon as the telegram from Guangzhou arrived, it was sent to the confidential room of Lingao Telecom.Li Yunxing was startled when he read the full text of the telegram.

"Damn, do it!" He excitedly pulled the folder of the message and was about to walk.

"Chief, Chief, you haven't signed yet." The native female operator in charge of translating and receiving the telegram saw that he was about to leave after taking the telegram, so she hurriedly stopped him.

"Okay, okay." Li Yunxing took out a pen and signed his name on the sending and receiving book.Then he hurried out of the confidential room and ran back to his office.Bei Jinyi, the newly assigned life secretary and office secretary, is packing up the documents on his desk.

Li Yunxing strode into the office, and directly wiped the things on the table aside, which surprised Bei Jinyi who had tidied up, thinking that he was dissatisfied with him.I was too scared to stand aside and dare not speak.

"Quick, copy a copy immediately and send it to the confidential room of the general office!"

Li Yun said excitedly.This is great.The Ming army finally arrived!Once the battle broke out, the group of people who advocated the tortoise style all the time had nothing to say.Lingao Telecom is about to become Hainan Telecom, and maybe I will become the boss of Guangdong Telecom directly!

He rubbed his hands excitedly, knowing that once this matter reaches the executive committee, a general meeting will be held tomorrow at the latest - this is the first national war of the time-traveling group!
Li Yunxing decided that at the ensuing senate meeting, he must stand up and make an impassioned statement, insisting on expanding the flames of war. He could not just be satisfied with repelling the Ming army's attack, at least he had to pursue it to Qiongshan County.Completely destroy Daming's notice in Hainan.

The telegram was quickly sent to the confidential room of the general office, and then printed into dozens of copies.According to the rules, such telegrams are first sent to the Executive Committee, the Standing Committee of the Senate and the heads of relevant business departments.

An hour later, this news was posted on the BBS and became an announcement on the top page.

The BBS, which has been out of hot spots recently, has basically no people except for a group of people in North America who are still talking about political system reform and people from the Ministry of Colonial Trade advocating Liaodong trade.The news of the Ming army's crusade immediately caused a commotion.

That night, a flood of posts poured into the BBS, and all kinds of ideas flooded the board for a while, and immediately formed a state of copying.

Early the next morning, the Senate announced the convening of a plenary session.

In the Senate, more than 380 elders who are currently in Lingao and do not need to stick to their posts attended the meeting.Because this is the first national decision-making involving war and peace, all veterans who can leave their posts have all arrived at the venue.

There was a warm atmosphere in the venue, and the elders were sitting or standing, all showing excitement.From time to time, a few words flew out from the crowd: "Fuck! Fuck him!", "Kill the whole family of this old guy Wang Zunde!", "Ten days in Guangzhou!", "Three massacres in Dongguan" and other words.

"Mom, the battle hasn't been fought yet, and everyone wants to be a tartar!" Liu Zheng came to the Senate on behalf of the majority of the long-distance exploration team, and couldn't help cursing when he heard someone say that.Followed by Bai Guoshi's girlfriend Zhao Xue—after Bai Guoshi's tireless pursuit and vow never to marry his concubine, Zhao Xue finally agreed to be his girlfriend.Originally, as a single woman, her range of choices is not too small, but when this group of single otaku all have sex dreams of 72 female slaves of all nationalities and colors, her choice is pitifully small.

"They seem to be talking about women." Zhao Xue thought, this group of men is really boring, "I want to tell all the women in Guangzhou and Dongguan, uh, that one time."

"Hmph, I have no ambitions!" Liu Zheng put his special wooden cushion on the brick seat with his number engraved on it.There was a large area around, and almost all the members of the long-distance exploration team went out.

Liu Zheng was not very excited about this news.Although he is not a star fan, he is an imperial man.So I hope to fight the Tartars or other foreigners rather than the army of Ming Dynasty-although this is also unavoidable.

As he was feeling depressed, he suddenly saw Ma Qianzhu sitting in his seat, signing autographs for a younger sister who wore glasses.By the way, he also praised a few words, but because of the hustle and bustle of people, no one heard what he said.

"Hmph, you bastard—"

A high-pitched singing of "Above the Moon" reverberated over the venue - Xiao Zishan, who presided over the meeting, beat the hammer dozens of times, but no one paid any attention to him.In the end, I had to turn up the volume of the loudspeaker and start playing "On the Moon".
