late Qing Dynasty arrest

? After being captured by the capital's police, Yan Zizhang immediately gave in. How can a person live with a "wooden dog"? Only then did I know that there is still this business in the world that can make a fortune. Compared with stealing and tomb robbery, it is like the gap between the world and hell. As long as you dare to enter hell, another gate of heaven will open to you, and your life will be more prosperous. Yanzizhang was dressed as a wealthy businessman, with the chain of the gold watch exposed outside his clothes. He was sitting in the dining room, drinking tea while turning the two jade rings on his fingers. With a pair of sneaky eyes, he looked at the rooms in Nabazi's mansion. Liang, wondering whether there will be any surprises on the beam.

When Li Guolou and Chen Xiangfang walked into the yard, Yanzizhang heard the noise, stood up immediately, went to the door, bowed his head and said, "Master Li has caused you trouble!"

"Well, no courtesy, sit down." Li Guolou looked up and down Yanzi Zhang. The hero of the folklore has been reborn. Whether Yanzi Zhang is a disaster or a blessing, the rebellion of the Tiandihui has a new home, at least it can be upright As for the horse thief Fei Lingxue, Li Guolou still remembers it vividly. Other sects in the Gyeonggi area must obey unified orders. This is a matter of principle. eradicate.

"Yan Zizhang, don't be nervous, it's okay. From now on, I will call Feiyu and his gang. Don't go to Luoyang to commit crimes. You are old enough. Don't be a weird person. You can live in peace and become rich and powerful. Miss Xiaofang can't I assure you, at least I can become a rich man." Li Guolou patted the short Yanzizhang kindly on the shoulder, asked him to sit down, and the three of them drank porridge together.

Swallow Zhang said with a smile: "Master Li is a bureaucrat. He thinks highly of us Jianghu people. With your protection, I don't have to hide in the capital. As for the south, I won't go to the south!"

Gao Yao was serving sweet hot porridge on the clouds. Li Guolou, Chen Xiangfang, and Yanzizhang were sitting at a table drinking porridge. Guolou appreciates Yanzizhang, she is the one who catches the short Yanzizhang. Catching the soft egg on the bed of a prostitute is like an eagle catching a chick. It is a trivial matter, is it worth giving Yanzizhang a future? .

Li Guolou cast a sideways glance at Gao Yao Wuyun, and said, "Are you hungry? If you are hungry, sit down and drink porridge!"

"Hey, I'm not hungry. Tou, Miss Xiaofang, you eat, I'll boil hot water for you." Gao Yao Wuyun left the dining room knowingly, she stood aside and watched, Yan Zizhang felt weak.

Li Guolou drank half a bowl of porridge, stopped moving his chopsticks, wiped the corners of his mouth with a wet towel, and watched Chen Xiangfang and Yanzi Zhang drink the porridge. A chivalrous and courageous Jianghu person who can rely on others can only play a role on the small road. He abandoned the Jianghu love and wanted to show his style on a broader stage.

In the early morning, Li Guolou came to the upper study and submitted a letter of leave to the Emperor Tongzhi, saying that he had to deal with some private matters and would live in Tianjin for more than half a month. The Emperor Tongzhi already knew what was going on. The boxing match between the two will be held in the French Concession. This matter has been heated up among the people. Whether it is foreigners or Qing people, the vast majority of people hope that Li Guolou will lose, and the odds of Li Guolou losing , all the way bullish, out of control, surpassing the odds of [-] to [-], Li Guolou, a pioneer of the Westernization School who colluded with the Prussians, showed himself as a traitor in the Tianjin teaching case, offended his patriotic compatriots, and even more Let foreigners take it lightly.

Emperor Tongzhi could not stop Li Guolou's impulse. Even if he forbade Li Guolou to fight boxing matches, Li Guolou would threaten to resign. People must live with dignity. This is what Li Guolou told him. Emperor Tongzhi appreciated him very much.

"Li Guolou, tell me the truth, what are your chances of winning this time?" Emperor Tongzhi flipped through Li Guolou's memorandum with only a few words, and couldn't hold back his curiosity.

"Well..." Li Guolou wanted to say a few big words, but when he thought that if the co-government emperor put the treasure on him, he would lose everything, so he swallowed his anger and said: "Your Majesty, the slave is incompetent!" , in the competition with Tarzan the Ape, the hope of winning will not exceed [-]%, but the slave will work hard to win, and will never fall automatically, even if he loses, the slave will not lose too badly!"

"Oh..." Emperor Tongzhi was a little disappointed, but Li Guolou guessed it right. He really wanted to bet the big one. Now, the meaning is, anyway, he is his own servant. To save face, speak loudly Said: "Eunuch Liu handed over my [-] taels of silver note to Li Guolou!"

Li Guolou took over the [-] taels of silver note from Liu Deyin, and already felt a heavy burden. The Emperor Tongzhi said softly: "Li Guolou, don't worry, I can afford to lose, keep it secret for me, if Let Doctor Yushi know, be careful of your dog head!"

"Zha, my servant thanked the emperor first..." Li Guolou turned around and bowed, unable to continue. It is up to people to plan things, but it is up to heaven to make things happen. For this trip to Tianjin, he is full of fear and anxiety, not because he is afraid of losing , I'm afraid it won't last three rounds.

Li Guolou, who is usually eloquent, seems to have changed. Emperor Tongzhi was a little dissatisfied. He glanced sideways and said, "Li Guolou, why are you so flustered? Calm down, I still have a lot to ask you." Woolen cloth!"

Li Guolou leaned forward and said, "Your Majesty, please tell me, this servant will listen carefully!"

Emperor Tongzhi said loudly: "Li Guolou, you have worked hard during this time, running around and working hard, but I always feel that you are fooling me, everything is said quickly, you have a clue, but you can only hear the sound , did not see any movement, Li Guolou, you are guilty!"

Li Guolou's knees softened, turned over and knelt down, and shouted: "The emperor is wronged, how dare the slave fool the emperor, it takes time to accumulate things from implementation to seeing results, and the slave is not an alchemist, you can touch stones It takes seven to seventy-nine days for the Taishang Laojun to make alchemy, and it takes only a few days for a slave to be promoted, and it takes time to inspect and appoint his subordinates. The slaves figured out how to do it all by themselves, and I asked for instructions to report, but there was no movement. What use is a slave with a seal!"

"Then I would like to ask you, why are the two iron-clad ships running so neatly, and the train tracks are laid out very quickly, and you will fall into a fight if you favor one or the other." Emperor Tongzhi burst out with strong dissatisfaction. Knows well.

"Hehe, Your Majesty, you don't know slaves well. Of course, the master's private affairs come first. If the Emperor and the Empress have any orders, the slaves will do the same immediately." Li Guolou knew how to please the Emperor and Empress, It is necessary to have the consciousness of a slave, so that state affairs can be done slowly, and housework is the most important thing.

"Well, you did a great job on the Longevity Hill project. The two mothers kept praising you, so you don't need my reward." Emperor Tongzhi had something in his words, and he made a point. He didn't forget that Li Guolou risked his life to speak out. achievement.

But Li Guolou is too ignorant, the congratulatory gift to the empress is not satisfactory, the empress Alut has her own family, and someone informs her, the empress's father Chongqi couldn't hold back, and slandered her daughter, saying There are many secrets of Li Guolou, that is, Li Guolou opened a "Zhenbaoxuan" in his family, and there are a lot of rare antiques in the house. Other princes have thought of it. Only the empress dowagers of the two palaces are in his eyes, but the empress dowagers are not in his eyes.

"The rewards given by the emperor to the slaves are already inexhaustible for the slaves. The slaves have nothing to ask for, but please accept the emperor's test." Li Guolou understood that today is not for state affairs, it must be the emperor's housework.

"Oh, it's like this. The empress had some complaints about the gift you paid last time. Do you understand?" Asked for bribes from courtiers.

"I report to the emperor, this slave should be damned. He didn't think carefully. This time, this slave will buy more tributes in Tianjin and come back to honor the empress." Li Guolou comforted himself, why don't he be a tomb robber? What about the Ming Tombs?

"Well, don't forget the number one scholar." Emperor Tongzhi directly named him. His father-in-law, Chongqi, is the Mongolian Zhenglan Banner number one scholar who has shaken the ancient and modern times. Clan high school champion.

"Zha, thank you for the emperor's suggestion. This slave has the joy of seeing the sun behind the clouds." Li Guolou pinched his thigh fiercely, how could there be such a big loophole in his work, how could he miss the number one scholar, Gong Chongqi.

"Li Guolou, I have a little more demands on you, but only by strictly demanding you can I let you take on greater burdens. If the errands are done, I will reward you. Ahhh, Eunuch Liu, let me take care of you." At the door, I want to say a few words to Li Guolou, no one will be there!"

Emperor Tongzhi wanted to invite him into the bank. The Empress Dowager Cixi spoke to him, and she will delegate the power of appointing and dismissing officials to him. In the field of money, he wants to take back the shares in the bank he invited to come in. After the funeral of the two mothers, Emperor Tongzhi and Empress Arut are both happy and disappointed. The Ministry of Internal Affairs has a piece of fat. But not theirs.

Restructuring is a buzzword in the Qing Dynasty. Emperor Tongzhi understood the new policy, that is, buying shares. It is justifiable to incorporate wealth into private property. The 30% is the rule to start with the business done by Li Guolou. Let Li Guolou explain which industrial enterprises can contribute The Ministry of Internal Affairs has brought considerable benefits.

Li Guolou murmured: "Your Majesty, if all the slaves speak out, those princes and nobles will kill the slaves. The rules of the past have already been set, so you can't covet their income, your majesty. Anyway, the enterprises run by the slaves are reserved for the master. 30% of the shares, I can't make irresponsible remarks on what other people do!"

"Oh, I won't force you." Emperor Tongzhi was reasonable, and his relatives always had room for it, and said again: "Then tell me now, which emerging industrial enterprises can bring huge wealth to the Qing Empire!"

Li Guolou turned his head and glanced at the eunuch at the door. The eunuch Liu Deyin could hear what he and the Emperor Tongzhi said at this distance. Li Guolou disregarded the rules and approached the dragon seat of the Emperor Tongzhi with a playful smile.

He said in a low voice, "My Majesty, a huge profit is of course the discovery of new non-ferrous metals. As long as new minerals are discovered, foreigners will flock to them. What nickel, zinc, rare earth, etc. are used as minerals in the military industry, as long as this kind of minerals are discovered , Your Majesty, don’t listen to the words of the prince. How much money will be handed over to you in a year? , Once you leave the palace, you will be criticized by thousands of people like An Dehai, Your Majesty, there are endless troubles in exploring minerals, we can only start from the mainland, and we must not touch the border!"

"Well, there's more." Emperor Tongzhi remembered, and he was still not reconciled. He was afraid of poverty and had never been rich. All the money was in the hands of Empress Dowager Cixi.

Li Guolou frowned and said, "My Majesty, it's not so fast. The industrial revolution requires huge investment. In addition to competitiveness, there must also be a market. Now that our Qing Empire is open to the outside world, all products must To compete with Bolaipin, you must have good products and price advantages. It is not so fast, but after ten years, the emperor will have ten times more money than you have now. This is the biggest benefit brought by the industrial revolution. !"

"Ten times." Emperor Tongzhi murmured to himself. Now, in order to repair the Old Summer Palace for the two empresses, the life in the Forbidden City is very budget-conscious, and the daily expenses are stretched. Three meals have already been served, and adding another meal made him shudder, so he wanted to share it
