late Qing Dynasty arrest

?At noon, Fan Dahui waited anxiously for Li Guolou in Sanshili Guanting, Tianjin. This surprised Li Guolou, and hurriedly asked what was the matter.

Fan Dahui said: "Master Li, Liu Ming has passed, and Mr. Fu Xiang (Li Hongzhang) wants you to pay a visit to the governor's yamen!"

"I'm going to pay a visit to him." Li Guolou pointed to his nose, secretly annoyed. He is a fourth-rank official, and Liu Mingchuan is Bai Ding now. Why should he pay a visit to a martial artist? He said angrily, "Don't talk to Mr. Fu , I'm on vacation now, let's go, let's go to Tianjin, no one can control me!"

Fan Dahui hesitated to speak, swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, it was right to think about it, the future will be long, there is no reason to give up now.

Li Guolou beckoned, asked Fan Dahui to get in the car, and went directly to the construction site for a walk. He had a lot of money in his hand. He first invested in the grain industry, and invested in the purchase of more than 1 mu of wasteland in the east of Tianjin Junliang City to establish an open source company. , and took over the Yuxin Flour Company in West Railway Station from foreigners, and renamed it Dafengshou Flour Company. In addition, in the west section of the main road in the Italian Concession, a large match company was planned to produce safety matches, and it was named Firebird Match Company. Chen Xiangfang became the chairman of the board, and now he is doing business like an imperial merchant. 30% of the profits he earns are distributed to Emperor Tongzhi, and 5% to Zaiying, the second son of Prince Gong Yixin, 5% to Li Jingyi, the eldest son of Li Hongzhang, and others. 60% of the shares are temporarily controlled by him.

Li Guolou controlled the water transportation in the Zhili area by inviting the bank to operate the business, and naturally controlled the grain and flour in the Gyeonggi area. The dead real estate and industrial enterprises in Tianjin suddenly ushered in spring overnight. At that time, officials and rich people came to Tianjin one after another to find business opportunities and investment land.

The modern industrial capital raised by Li’s consortium in Tianjin amounted to 1000 million taels of silver, equivalent to 585% of Tianjin’s total industrial investment of 170 million taels over ten years after the signing of the Beijing Treaty. This played a major role in the development of Tianjin’s national industry and commerce. It also made Fan Dahui quite emotional. With a swipe of Li Guolou's generous pen, money really fell from the sky. The real estate market will pick up as soon as it says it will pick up. No one has the same vision as Li Guolou.

Li Guolou has three residences in Tianjin, two of which are actually the dowries of his wives, Yelia and Wu Peipei, and the other is at No. 18 Joffre Road in the British Concession, which is still under construction. Please come to the bank headquarters The building, now he bought another building, on the wall road of the British Concession, the courtyard has a wide terrain, with rockery, gazebo, flowers and trees, it is very quiet, and now he has built another building on the west side of the compound, ready to Live for the born children.

After inspecting the construction site, it was getting dark. Li Guolou took Fan Dahui and four personal guards into the British Concession. They were not allowed to carry knives and guns here. The checkpoint of the concession.

As soon as he entered the British Concession, Li Guolou was so angry that the posters all over the street were an ugly shirtless man with ribs exposed and a ponytail behind his head. Tarzan underfoot poster.

"Master Fan, I'm competing in the French Concession, why are the British joining in the fun?" Li Guolou was a little puzzled, he didn't offend the British, he flattered the British Minister Wade, he never blushed, He also bought a large piece of land in the British Concession, and even put his residence in the British Concession. There is no reason why the British would hate him.

"Hey, Mr. Li, you are probably too high-profile, threatening the interests of the British Empire in the Qing Dynasty, do you understand?" Fan Dahui said half a sentence, and the other meaning is that if you want others to know, you must do nothing.

Li Guolou's petition harmed the interests of the British Empire. The preliminary letter of intent for cooperation signed between the Qing Empire and the Prussian Empire was caused by whoever did it. The British already knew, so how could they not take revenge on Li Guolou.

"Oh..." Li Guolou laughed and said, "Master Fan, go get more posters!"

"Master Li, why is this?" Fan Dahui asked.

Li Guolou said loudly: "I want to stick it on the side of the bed, look at it every day, and never forget the national humiliation and family hatred!"

Fan Dahui grunted: "Let my wife watch the hunk!"

Li Guolou hurriedly changed his words: "Post it in the study!"

Walking along the road, Li Guolou saw posters neatly pasted on the walls on both sides of the street and on the streetlights. There were various versions, and few of the posters showed his image positively. He said: "Ma Dequan, Yang Liguang, listen to me, don't just look for trouble to tear up the poster, the Indian Ah San must be hiding in a dark corner, waiting for you to start, bastard, the British have a sense of humor, post it on Here comes my door!"

"Hahahaha." The people around him laughed wildly without any scruples. They all knew that Li Guolou was not afraid of losing. Losing a boxing match is no big deal.

Two British hooligans suddenly jumped out of the alley, waving their fists, and yelled: "The sick man of East Asia, a dog with a dog tail who doesn't have a breed to argue against a yellow race!"

Li Guolou shouted: "Where are the reporters, the French reporter from Pravda, the British Sun reporter, Qutav took the picture for me, Eugene, where is your sense of justice?"

The four reporters accompanying behind them "clicked" and "clicked" and flashed the chalk lights. The two British hooligans who had been lurking for a long time and prepared to provoke trouble saw that their posture was wrong, and immediately slipped away with their tails between their legs without any violent tendencies.

"Well, that's good. No matter how much you belittle Eugene, I won't be angry." Li Guolou slapped the "four-eyed frog" Eugene, feeling so angry that he had no place to vent his anger.

Eugene was full of gratitude, and said with a smile: "Mike, don't worry, the friendship between Qing and France will last forever. No matter what the newspapers say about you, I, Eugene, will only buy you to win this time, and I will bet all my belongings on it!"

Li Guolou was taken aback and said: "Youjin Xiaolai, don't gamble anymore, even I am Xiaolailai, understand!"

The information has been sent out, and the four shrewd British and French reporters nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "Little Lai." They knew that this time Li Guolou was guilty, and they only wanted to get a fee for the appearance, and they would not fight Tarzan the ape in the boxing ring. , Ready to fall automatically at any time, it seems that the invincible ape Taishan will continue to write legends in Tianjin of the Qing Empire.

You Jin and the four accompanying reporters followed Li Guolou to the mansion on Weiqiangdao. When the big iron gate opened, Li Lingling was the first to rush out, saying softly, "Father!"

"Hey." Li Guolou picked up his daughter and invited four British and French journalists to enter the mansion to do follow-up interviews and then have dinner together.

Seeing Wu Peipei standing grandly at the gate to welcome the guests, Li Guolou felt bitter. The photo was taken by the reporter. A scandal might be exposed. Li Guolou rushed forward and smiled: "Grandma Eight, the British took me Eighteen generations of his ancestors have been investigated, so don’t take photos for reporters!”

Wu Peipei said in horror: "Ah, Xiaolou, a reporter has already come to interview, I..."

Li Guolou quickly comforted him: "Forget it, sister Peipei, I won't blame you, go, don't let the Sun newspaper take photos, the British are people who can't be bribed." The reporter separated and walked quickly into the bungalow.

As soon as Li Guolou entered the room, he smelled the burnt smell, he couldn't help frowning, and asked, "Who made it in the kitchen!"

Xie Liya came out of the kitchen with a red face, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry everyone, dinner will be late, the toast is burnt!"

Li Guolou pursed his lips and said, "Xie Liya, the British friends are here, you should come out to entertain the guests, the cook will do everything in the kitchen!"

"Soon, let's talk for a while, I'll be out soon." Unwilling to fail, Xie Liya went back to the kitchen in a hurry.

Li Guolou first went upstairs to visit Mayuko, and saw that Chu Xiangyu was accompanying her, leaning against her big belly to listen to the voice. The poisonous spider Mayuko had turned into a kind-hearted woman from a good family. He said anxiously: "Grandma Liu, don't worry, I will work hard!"

"Brother Xiaolou, my brother wants to do business in Tianjin." Chu Xiangyu was shy and shy. Who told her that her family ran a theater troupe, and her two elder brothers had high vision, and they didn't want to do low-level magic troupe business.

"Well... Grandma Six, I'll talk about it later. I will consider where people are needed." Li Guolou reluctantly agreed.

"Well, Xiaolou is the best. I've become a servant girl now." Chu Xiangyu told Li Guolou that she was wronged now, being bullied by the powerful women in her family and used as a slave.

Li Guolou praised: "Good Sixth Grandma, you are responsible for the harmony of the family. You see, when I am away from home, I do everything I can do by myself!"

This is just the beginning. Li Guolou wants to level all the hills in his family. After dinner, it’s nice to hear the grandma’s nagging. Li Guolou rushed downstairs. There are two strong women waiting for him to take care of. .

Yelia sat on the three-person sofa with her big belly, and Zhen Yuhuan, who was also slightly bulging on the other side, had already occupied it. Li Guolou's house was not as peaceful as outsiders saw it. Quite having a headache, Li Guolou smiled and sat between the two of them, his inescapable fate, hard work.

"Third Grandma, Seventh Grandma, you didn't quarrel, did you?" Li Guolou had already seen the burning flames, and it would be strange if he hadn't quarreled.

"No, it's just a little temper tantrum. Who told you not to be with us, old seven?" Yelia said lightly, and the family didn't have an overnight feud.

Zhen Yuhuan squeezed out a smile and said: "The third grandma is reasonable. We are all mothers, so tolerance is great. Who is the third grandma lucky? People call her 10% lady!"

Li Guolou hugged left and right, and begged for mercy: "The two ladies don't fight over the family property. I'm not dead yet, and the child hasn't been born yet. Wait 30 years before we quarrel." One bite, now he is still popular, the grandmas dote on him and regard him as a treasure in their hands.

"Hmm..." Yelia and Zhen Yuhuan stopped and peacefully coexisted for the time being.

After greeting his family with concern, Li Guolou invited the reporter in. The reporter from the British Sun newspaper first asked anxiously and kindly: "Mrs. Yelia, when are you going back to France?"

"Hey, I'm going to wait in the British Concession now. As for when I will return to France... I haven't thought about it yet." Li Guolou grabbed Ye Liya's hand, feeling a lot of helplessness in her heart, and being tired of exotic customs when.

The British Sun reporter quickly jotted it down in his notebook and asked, "Mrs. Yelia, if Mike is disabled by Tarzan this time, will you leave him?"

This time the reporter of the British Sun newspaper was straightforward, and he almost said that Li Guolou had become an incompetent eunuch.

"Well, Mr. Reporter, if Mike is disabled, of course I can't just walk away and take care of Mike, but I believe this scene will not happen. Don't we French pay attention to gentlemanly demeanor, just stop when you can, hehehe "Yelia covered her mouth, not daring to laugh loudly, she had warned Li Guolou that "the click stops", and she would fall down as soon as possible, otherwise... Hehe, she won't if she is more acquainted Just walk away.

Li Guolou looked at the Sun newspaper reporter sitting on the single sofa, a shady and despicable reporter, just wanted to poach his family's privacy, he was not afraid of the shadow being crooked, the Qing Empire allowed to marry a concubine, go share
