late Qing Dynasty arrest

Elaborately prepared dishes, exquisite and gorgeous bowls and plates, ivory chopsticks inlaid with gold rims, bowl and plate rims carved into dragon and phoenix patterns, and flowers used to decorate the dishes. This work of art makes people can't help but marvel at Chen Xiangfang's superb cooking skills, and "Bao Zhi Fang" is becoming more and more popular.

"Treading Snow to Find Plum Blossoms", "Three Folds of Yangguan", "Fat Fortune Immortal Catch", "Snowflake Chicken", "Ants Climb a Tree", "Pile Gold and Jade", "One Grade of Heavenly Fragrance", "Second Plum Blossom", " "Dragon and phoenix fight", "one palm holds rivers and mountains", each dish contains extensive Chinese culture.

Eating delicious food and sipping fine wine, Li Guolou felt comfortable and carefree. Amidst the intermingling of cups and cups, it seemed like a lifetime away. The sufferings of the people outside the city were in stark contrast to the abundance of fine wines and delicacies here.It seems that the thank you reception is held too extravagantly, and will be criticized by some bosses of the Purple Clothes Club who are used to saving money.

Li Guolou said: "Xiaofang, the banquet is too extravagant, the distinguished guests will say that we spend money on food."

How could Chen Xiangfang admit to being extravagant, and retorted: "Xiaolou, you don't understand, I'm in this business, it's just a little more troublesome to move the things in the store, the dishes are all ordinary ingredients, and Baozhi The characteristics of the room can highlight the importance we attach to this appreciation dinner."

"Oh, that's right!" Li Guolou didn't expose Chen Xiangfang's mouth full of lies, and it was only worthy of the name if he ate it into his mouth.

Let’s get drunk and dream together. Jing scallions are mixed with garlic and sweet sauce. There is a layer of pancakes on the outside and crispy duck skin on the inside. Not to mention how delicious it is. Baozhifang’s roast duck has reached a new level. tasty.

After eating well and drinking well, a banquet for honored guests came to a successful conclusion. Before leaving, Qiao Zhiyong donated 200 taels of silver. He made a steady donation and kept his usual business habits. Some people also left their names on the donation book.

Li Guolou stretched his neck and looked at the account books registered by Fang Datong, the accountant.The three charity conferences had a lot of income, and Mike's support team became more motivated.

When the guests were sent away, Li Guolou looked at the women who were tidying up in the flower hall, and said, "I, Li Guolou, thank you for your selfless help. But Mr. Qiao was right just now, the name 'Mike Support Group' is too eye-catching. , it is better to disband."

"Bang!" There was a sound of bowls and plates breaking, and Chen Xiangfang hurriedly said: "What Xiaolou means is to change the name and create a women's club, so that we can work together in a legitimate way."

"Oh oh oh!" The thirty-odd diehard members of Mike's support group let out a long sigh of relief. They don't want to stay at home doing nothing, and only when they get together to do something within their power can they feel that life is meaningful.

Li Guolou looked worried, touched his nose, turned around and left, he couldn't be alone in the room with these "people from Mike's support group", some people have already regarded him as the lover of their dreams, and did something out of the ordinary, wouldn't it make people ridicule.

"You guys are busy. I have something to do. I'm going back first." Li Guolou ran away, took his daughter Li Lingling's hand, and took the two pregnant women a step ahead.He doesn't want to listen to the voice of the abacus, no matter how much money he earns, these women will spend it all, today is a "Yelia New Style School", and the future will be a university, striving to be the first is like grabbing money, and falling behind Come up with dedication and be a pioneer for the country and the people.

Before leaving, Yelia yelled: "Hurry up and go back early, we will have a meeting at the Charity Hall at [-] o'clock tomorrow morning, about the matter of Mike's support team, and where to specialize in the next step, we must come up with ideas and make a new decision. Goals. There is also the daily work arrangement of the Charity Hall, all of which must be implemented. Anita, you have the most important task. The work regulations of the Yelia Charity Hall must be written out tonight, and you will have to work overtime at night."

Zhen Yuhuan smiled and said: "Don't use your brain, I brought the articles of association of several other charitable halls, choose a few, and let the second grandma write it."

Xie Xiuzhu complained: "It's me again." "Who told you that your handwriting is beautiful." Yingying and Yanyan praised together, encouraging each other to make progress hand in hand.

The nice words made Xie Xiuzhu immediately motivated, and she agreed to work on the manuscript overnight, and glanced at Li Guolou. Li Guolou was cheap tonight, and she didn't have time to play.

Li Guolou stood at the door, just teasing and playing with his daughter, turning into a housewife.The women in the flower hall can solve every difficulty and obstacle in setting up a charity hall by themselves.Among the twittering, someone always jumped out and said that this problem is not a problem, which won bursts of laughter.Li Guolou wanted to leave but couldn't. The woman inside kept talking. She hadn't recovered from the excitement of the reception yet. Yelia didn't feel tired at all, and she was still talking about Beijing movies lively.

Li Guolou urged him several times, but the answer he got was always to wait a little longer and he would be ready soon.Finally, when all the chores are done and the lights are turned off in the flower hall, the family members go home together.

On the carriage, Li Guolou hugged Yelia, who was falling apart, and comforted him: "Yelia, relax, don't get tired."

Yelia made a hoarse voice: "Oh, I know my body, I was too happy today, and I won't be in the future." After speaking, Yelia closed his eyes, dozed off, and snored slightly after a while Voice.

Li Guolou looked at Yelia, feeling guilty in his heart. He was good at demagogic words, and let these women work hard to start their careers. Will the future be as perfect as he described?Even he himself did not believe in the ideal society he spoke of.

Even if it can be realized, the road is rough and rugged, how many people will trip him up, how many people want to watch him tumble, and how many people will kill him.It's like "Second Brother" Wu Defu sat in the seat, but before his butt was hot, he died unjustly in the prison, and he didn't know that he was abandoned by the brothers around him when he was dying.

Are women more reliable than men?Li Guolou didn't have an answer, he wondered if these women would betray him?But today, he saw what a group of women did in solidarity. It turns out that men are sometimes played by women.

A group of people returned to the back house, finished grooming, crying tired, but no one went back to the room to rest, still passing around the ledger with a smile on their faces, with a sense of pride and satisfaction on their flushed faces.

With so many things involved, I can't finish talking for a while. After you sing, I will appear on the stage, and Yingying Yanyan keeps laughing.

When the voice came to an end, Zhen Yuhuan said solemnly: "Stop! You all stop talking, if you keep talking like this, you won't be able to finish talking until tomorrow morning. I have a business to talk to Mike now, Mike, I asked you to prepare a statement Is it finished?"

It is Li Guolou explaining to Prince Gong Yixin his propositions on the strategy of governing the country, which is a bit like the state defense written by a "student" and "Xianggong" (also called a Juren) who were born in a scholar. Written in the form of the essay, there is a strict word limit, as well as format requirements, entry, topic, theme, and summary.Zhen Yuhuan asked Li Guolou to write a strategy for governing the country that did not have this constraint, and wrote his own ideas in response to the current actual situation of the country.

In ancient times, some people who worried about the country and the people, in addition to making scientific research on this single-plank bridge, also wrote letters to those in power, expounding their thoughts on governing the country, in order to achieve the goal of prosperity.Of course, this is a shortcut, but also a difficult path.There are only a handful of people who enter the imperial court with an article, especially after the scientific examination in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Li Si, the prime minister of the Qin Dynasty.

Since Li Guolou wanted to be promoted, he didn't want to read stereotyped essays, but bought an Enke Jinshi quota, so he always had to explain his thoughts to Prince Gong Yixin.When Prince Gong meets him, he can also be targeted and let Prime Minister Prince Gong know that he is the hope of the Qing Dynasty. As long as he is given a cloud, he can draw a dazzling rainbow.

Li Guolou replied: "Well, I have finished writing, when will I show it to you?"

Zhen Yuhuan looked at Li Guolou lazily, holding a teacup and crossing his legs, and couldn't help being furious. He vented the grievance of begging grandpa to sue grandma these days, and said angrily: "Li Guolou sit down for me. Why are we so tired? Or is it to lay a good foundation for you, so that people who have been magistrates in the court for decades will praise you, and you have boasted civil affairs qualifications. Didn’t you say that you have no political achievements and sit on the seventh rank? Is the official also hypocritical? We are not so busy because of you!"

"Oh, I'll get it now." Li Guolou didn't dare to order Bai Lian, the housemaid, stood up and jumped out of the living room. The grandmas had physical problems, so they used him as a punching bag.

Zhen Yuhuan placed the dossier on the table of the Eight Immortals and unfolded it to read. Several other grandmothers who could read and write also came forward to watch together.

The Prime Minister, Prince Gong, said:

Minister Li Guolou cried blood and wrote, corresponding to eleven national policies:

Article [-]: The conclusion of treaties between the Qing Dynasty and foreign countries should be done in the Qing Dynasty. This is the principle.In the past, the Qing Dynasty made treaties with other countries, but if they did not do so, there are countless losses and a lot of losses.

Article [-]: To conclude a treaty with a foreign country, use more words and less language, and the words of the articles should be simple and concise.Before signing, consult other countries. Countries are suspicious of each other for their respective interests in the Qing Dynasty, and they will definitely point out the most important clauses involved.It's just that this is to be used when countries are in discord, and it cannot be used if an alliance is formed.

Article [-]: As long as the capital of the Qing Dynasty is located in the capital, do not go to war with others. The capital is too close to the sea, so there is no danger to rely on.Some people disagree with this point. Even so, Lushun and Weihai have proved that it cannot be defended, so I insist on this proposition.

Rule [-]: Without a strong army, the navy has no room to retreat.Now the army should be trained first, and the navy should be trained after the army is well trained.

Article [-]: The Beiyang Navy purchased many ship guns, which was a very wrong thing.It will be of great benefit if these huge funds are used to buy new guns first.When the army is strong, build a navy and use the money spent on ship guns to buy all new guns, and wait for the army to become a powerful force before buying ship guns.Now the cart before the horse, the consequences are very dangerous.If the navy can't hold on, the army will be too weak to return, and the country will be divided up.

Article [-]: For those ministers in the court who are in charge of the battle, those who want to restore the glory of their ancestors, but who will not be on the front line, all will be expelled.When a soldier is in danger, he must never start a war lightly.

Article [-]: The government should encourage domestic businessmen to go abroad and directly order and purchase from foreign manufacturers. It is a big deal, so as to be in line with the world.

Article [-]: The General Administration of Customs should be located in Shanghai, and its authority must be limited to import and export taxation, and Hurd, an Englishman from the General Taxation Department, should not be allowed to intervene in other local affairs.Hurd discusses with foreign officials at every turn, isn't it meddling in the internal affairs of the Qing Dynasty, but he is leading the salary of the Qing Dynasty and making fun of the world.

Article [-]: The government shall instruct the minister of special affairs to take care of major matters of national defense and arms.If the negotiations with the ministers of various countries are not smooth, the ministers of the missions should be sent to foreign companies in time.

Article [-]: The top priority should be to vigorously open taxation schools so that a large number of students can learn tax knowledge and prepare to replace foreigners.Customs tariffs are related to national income. How can foreigners control them so far? They must be nationalized.

No. 11: The failure of the Xinjiang war, the commander-in-chief Jing Lian should be held accountable.Now that the East Nian has been flattened, and after the West Nian is cleared up, we should do our best to recover the lost land in Xinjiang.Xinjiang is not a barren land, but a major issue related to the survival of the country. If you lose Xinjiang, you will lose Tibet and Mongolia. The Qing Dynasty will have no barriers to rely on. Next, the governors of various places will surely become independent small kingdoms with the support of foreigners.

Minister, although Li Guolou is only a ninth-rank official in the Ministry of Criminal Justice, his patriotism can be learned from day to day. The slaves are young and energetic. In an era of change, there should be means of change. Wan Wang will have to deal with Prince Gong face to face. At that time, kneel down and kowtow!

The year, month, and day of the next book.

Xie Xiuzhu chanted softly at the side, everyone had weird expressions, never expected that Li Guolou would write Prince Gong's old rules on governing the country, list all kinds of countries, and none of them were praiseworthy, and offended his uncle Li Hongzhang, unexpectedly. It is said that the newly built Beiyang Navy of the Qing Empire is wasting the people's fat and anointing the people, putting the cart before the horse.

Zhen Yuhuan stared at Li Guolou and asked, "Li Guolou, what do you think?"

Li Guolou raised Erlang's legs again, picked up the teacup, and said slowly: "That's what I think. Prince Gong must use my idea, or I'll be like this. I can make money better than anyone else. Staying in the Ministry of Punishment In less than three years, Lord Bao will also promote me. I'm not in a hurry!"

Zhen Yuhuan rushed into Li Guolou's arms, and said softly: "Mike, you are not in a hurry. I am in a hurry. I will pass it up for you when you see it. You are too courageous. I will bite you to death." Zhen Yuhuan finished speaking Performing her biting stunts in public, not caring about the other grandmas watching them.

Li Guolou took a breath and asked, "How many people are there?"

Yelia yelled: "Mike, hi! Stay up all night!" After speaking, Yelia walked upstairs with a bottle of red wine in her hand. Guolou went upstairs together and went to hello.
