late Qing Dynasty arrest

Ding Richang saw it clearly, and said suspiciously: "Brother Xue, the silver system is beneficial to the country and the people, how can it be so unbearable in your mouth?"

Xue Fucheng drank tea calmly, and said slowly: "Ding Xiaogui, I didn't say it was a bad thing, but it hurt Xiaolou's family business too much. He only wants to make money, and he only has the word money in his mind. To live in a harmonious society, everyone needs to make money together. Everyone carries the bridal sedan chairs. Without our help, please come in and the bank will not be able to grow, and Xielia Real Estate Company will also decline. Xiaolou, you have a business vision and are forward-looking. Let the family business lead the Westernization Movement , these achievements are actually the private support of our Westernization faction. You have to let everyone see the rewards and recruit the second generation of officials to your company to take up important positions. Only such people can bring millions of dollars to your company For profit, it is cost-effective for you to give Sunzi Ding an annual income of 20 to 10. If you pay Sunzi Ding with an annual salary of [-], he can bring you millions of returns, or even tens of millions of returns in the future. In the future, the whole of Fujian and Guangdong will be When it becomes your sphere of influence, the transaction between power and money starts from the time when you recruit Ding Sunzi, an outstanding genius, and when you open banks in various places, you start from the time when you recruit the second generation of officials."

Li Guolou curled his lips and replied, "Master Xue, is this necessary? I am the Yushi of Youdu."

"Yes! Absolutely! There is a big difference between the central government and the local government. You have to establish a good relationship with the governors of various places, and collect many second-generation officials into your business empire. There is only one benefit and one harm. The currency reform measures you implemented will definitely be applauded. Li's company will take advantage of the sparks and burn all over China. The day when you want to support the Qing Dynasty is just around the corner. You know, Xiaolou, my son is not good at public relations. A good player." Ding Richang rose from the ground, with his teeth and claws open, and drew a blueprint for Li Guolou's future, thinking that the prodigal boy could come to Li Guolou, hold a golden job, and earn millions of taels to ensure income in drought and flood. The family business will not be defeated by his son, how can he not let him applaud.

Li Guolou smiled wryly and said, "Everyone, don't look at me like that. I didn't want to extend my hand so long. There won't be so many jobs. How can I support the second generation of officials? If I take a bone, how many evil wolves will take it away?" My family's threshold has been broken. You don't know how greedy Prince Qing is, coveting my family's property, every project has to be invested in silver shares, and I don't want to be filial. He said that he will stop being a corrupt official, do you believe it?" [

Is celebrating the prince's famous festival something that ministers should evaluate?Shen Baozhen looked around at him, and sighed: "Xiaolou, this is your fault. A banking industry can't make the world's scholars return to their hearts. Business is to reserve human resources for you. You have to broaden your financial resources. The world of goods is in addition to A big train plan, the shipping industry should shift from government-run to private-run, you have to seize the opportunity to convert state-owned assets into private capital."

Li Guolou glanced at Li Hongzhang, and said, "Master Shen, it's inappropriate for me to share another piece of the pie if someone interferes in the shipping industry."

Shen Baozhen also took a look at Li Hongzhang, and replied: "But everyone else has limitations, and you are the only one who can pass through. In order to make the shipping industry bigger and stronger, it is time to re-integrate. We should have ocean-going navigation capabilities during our clean-up. The industry wants to develop into the deep sea, and only you can plan this grand plan."

Li Hongzhang hesitated for a while, stroked his three strands of beard, and said: "This issue should be discussed in the long term, and we will discuss it in the Spring Festival."

Li Guolou resented: "I never thought of leading the second generation of officials to take the road of common prosperity. I really want to hand over the wealth created to the state treasury. Your plan is to poach the corner of the Qing Dynasty."

"Hey! Xiaolou, you made a mistake! This is called sustainable development. It is up to you to promote it, and our Westernization faction is behind the scenes to support it. The conservatives and Qingliu factions echo each other, so that our country can move forward steadily, and there will be no conflicts between each other. You are the glue of our factions, and it is not appropriate for you to let Mr. Fu Xiang be the leader of the business. Only with your name on it will this ship not be smashed into a hole." Xue Fucheng It's not about targeting the target, but discussing with Li Hongzhang why Li Guolou reached the sky in one step?This is a kind of personality charm. Li Guolou can unite all the factions in the court, so that the silver that was originally hidden in the cellar will be exposed in broad daylight.Commercial development is economic circulation. Li Guolou used the idle money of corrupt officials, even the empress dowager's personal money, and [-] eunuchs' private money, all for business.

Li Hongzhang said: "The second-generation officials need someone to take care of them, especially those second-generation officials and third-generation officials who can't enter the officialdom. These people should still show their strengths in private enterprises and give full play to their well-connected characteristics. Xiaolou, Your company’s recruitment of talents should start with this group of people, so that the currency reform I implemented can be carried out smoothly in various places and create more tax revenue for the country. Of course, you have to do it in moderation, don’t be like yours in the first year Like the banking industry, we should leave some leeway for the country, and increase by up to [-]% in the first year."

This is to ask Li Guolou to make false accounts. Li Hongzhang knows very well that as long as the Qing Dynasty implements the silver dollar system, the household department can increase the tax collection by more than 500 million taels from the banks. This is the most conservative estimate, and it may exceed 1000 million taels. silver.It's not immediately obvious how greedy officials were in the past.The dignity of the officials should be reserved for them. Li Hongzhang sent out a code word, telling Li Guolou how to manage the account books of the bank invited to come in.Of course, the excess profits, the major shareholders, will be digested in one go when the dividends are distributed in June.

Li Guolou was overwhelmed when he heard that, and let him solve all the messy things. The famous playboy in the Qing Dynasty wanted to enter his business empire, and he wanted to save a decent seat for Ding Huiheng.Squeezing out a smile, he said: "Master Fu, we talked all night. I'm already dizzy and I can't take it anymore. Let's talk again at the dinner party. My four wives are not easy to mess with. To do their ideological work."

Li Hongzhang let out a sigh of relief, waved his hands and said, "Go! We are going to bed too. Invite your four wives to a banquet tonight. I will present certificates of merit to them, and the medals will be awarded after returning to Beijing."

"Xiaolou, I'll come to your place for a drink at noon and talk about my insurance business plan, so don't sleep." Xue Fucheng predicted that Li Guolou would not sleep. The four wives are all powerful figures, and Li Guolou wants Keep pace with the four ladies, and have a small meeting all morning.

Li Guolou saluted, left Li Hongzhang's residence, and turned out to a courtyard, which was his residence.Here he is a distinguished guest, enjoying the highest standard of treatment, but he is not interested in looking at the ancient pavilions and pavilions. The military can be put aside, but please come in. The substantial expansion of the bank is imminent. How many officials will he let this time? Take this boat with the wind?Please come to the banks that are open in various places. Twenty banks hire a regional manager, which happens to solve the second generation of officials in various places.75 companies are invited to come to the bank, and [-] second-generation officials can be recruited, plus a regional manager on top of five regional managers. It seems that there are still too few, and it will offend many local forces. hidden dangers?

The Qing Dynasty will implement the silver dollar system, but Li Guolou has no sense of accomplishment, but is under a lot of pressure. His business empire not only has to support thousands of lazy people and useless firewood, but also a group of second-generation officials. What he had thought of.He also wants to lead the second generation of officials to get rich together. Thinking about it makes me feel good. Ding Huiheng and Bao Quanzhong sang together and said many bad things about him behind his back, and he actually wanted to lure the wolf into the house.

In the dining room, Ding Richang was in a good mood, with a big appetite, and drank another bowl of porridge. He was not afraid of Li Guolou's refusal, and said with a smile: "Xue Dazui! You are really talented, and you will eat the fake foreign devils so soon. I still have one thing to worry about, my son has a very violent temper, and Liu Yong, who thinks he is so talented, refuses to bow down for five buckets of rice. Go help me persuade him, how can a person not bow his head under the eaves."

Xue Fucheng smiled and said: "Don't worry, Ding Xiaogui, let me do the job, and I will succeed immediately. Grandson Ding is also tight, and he has not yet reached the point where he can be trusted."

"That's good, now I'll die in peace." Ding Richang gave Li Hongzhang a look, and left the dining room with a flick of his sleeves.

Shen Baozhen dawdled and refused to leave the dining room, because he wanted Li Hongzhang to allocate a large sum of money to him. The Nanyang Navy did not have a subordinate relationship with the Beiyang Navy in terms of system, but he was a member of Li Hongzhang's lineage, and he listened to Li Hongzhang's words.The Fujian Shipping Bureau is the mess left by Zuo Zongtang, and now it has turned around in Shen Baozhen's hands, thanks to Li Hongzhang's full support.

To engage in the Westernization Movement is to burn money to do things. New things are all piled up with money, and the projects that are out of gold and jade are ruined. They are in the ascendant, and the projects that have been screwed up by the Westernization School are countless.Nowadays, the Westernization Movement has the momentum of being willing to cut the whole body and dare to pull the emperor Laozi off the horse. The industrial projects that are required to be started in various places are piled up on Li Hongzhang's case.

In order to properly handle the Taiwan issue, Li Hongzhang promised to allocate 50 taels of silver to Shen Baozhen first, but please come to the bank to borrow it first, because he is also short of money now. [

Shen Baozhen was worried, and asked: "Master Fu, if you use Li Guolou like this, you are not afraid of a run on the bank if you come in. I have heard many rumors that are not good for Li Guolou. I am afraid that someone will deal with him."

Li Hongzhang was as stable as Mount Tai, drank tea firmly, and said with a smile: "Master Shen, don't pay attention to the rumors from the outside world. If Li Guolou's downfall, there will be no currency reform system. Now the pilot has not yet started, and some people deliberately spread rumors to slander the people in the court." Sir, you have also heard from Li Guolou that Prince Qing wants to be an upright official, and he will not even accept gifts from Li Guolou. Who would think of dealing with Li Guolou at this time. The emperor still favors him. The Empress Dowager also strongly supports the currency reform. Who would do such stupid things? Most of these unfavorable rumors are caused by foreigners and those compradors. If you are in the south, don’t believe those rumors. If I sit in charge, the boat will not capsize .”

"That's good. Li Guolou doesn't want to be like Xue Dazui's paper flood control project. I don't worry. I'll ask Yelia for a note, and I'll go back to Fujian in the afternoon. The teacher of Mawei Shipbuilding School and The students asked Mr. Ding to arrange a pick-up

About the meeting, originally I wanted to personally introduce Yan Fu to Li Guolou. They are all British students studying abroad, and they are the pillars of the country. "Shen Baozhen thought of Taiwan's defense, so he didn't dare to stay in Yantai, so he left the post with Li Hongzhang's edict.

Li Hongzhang went back to sleep in the backyard, thinking about the teachers and students of the Mawei Shipbuilding Academy. Yan Fu was the chief student of the Mawei Shipbuilding Academy and a talented scholar who had returned from studying in England.But how many pillars of the country are there under the sun?Li Hongzhang didn't pay attention to Yan Fu's grandson who looked after English students and gave him a long face. Li Guolou is the only one in the world.On the contrary, Li Hongzhang took a fancy to the group of young students of Mawei Shipbuilding Academy. Those young students were deeply impressed. Deng Shichang, Liu Buchan, and Lin Yongsheng's vigorous image has been remembered in his heart.He made a deal with Shen Baozhen and sent two battleships to Mawei Port in order to lure the students from Mawei Shipbuilding School to the Beiyang Navy.

Li Guolou and the four wives held a small meeting all morning, finally unified their understanding, and decided to recruit the second generation of officials in the Li group, tie local forces and centralization together, and take the road of common prosperity.Five people were flirting in the living room, waiting for Xue Fucheng's arrival.Recruiting talents is Li Guolou's first goal. He values ​​Xue Fucheng very much. This person has put forward effective suggestions for the construction of his business empire, and making good use of the second generation of officials can make the Li Group flourish forever.

Li Guolou had already taken a bath, and changed into a casual navy blue silk long gown, with his braids untied, sitting on the Taishi chair, Mayuko standing behind Li Guolou, massaging his head, the other three The wife is sitting on the grand teacher's chair on the right.

Li Guolou closed his eyes, and said, "Seventh Madam, you need to be united, don't fight each other, since you want to go out to do things, it's impossible for everyone to be fair. Don't envy the shares of the Third Madam, and let outsiders see the joke."

Mayuko, a staunch supporter of Yelia, was the first to respond, "Hi! Lou, don't worry, I won't say anything."

Zhen Yuhuan said coquettishly, "Oh! I knew Xiaolou, and I was joking too. I didn't expect someone to betray me. You won't dislike me, right?"

Li Guolou opened his eyes and said with a smile: "Dearest Seventh Madam, I listen to you the most. You are also allowed to participate in such an important diplomatic occasion. I don't know what to do when I return to Beijing What about explaining?"

How could Zhen Yuhuan let Yelia and Xie Liya have a good time outside, and let Li Guolou take her out of Beijing to see the world as soon as the wind blows beside her pillow, and she brought her real cause, just to make outsiders think that their family is very united.In fact, when women are together, they fight over trivial matters every day.When Li Guolou returned home, he had to defend justice for their quarrel, which made him physically and mentally exhausted, but the wives were addicted to fighting, it seemed that in his house, he just lived a hard life.

"Well, I remember Xiaolou well." Zhen Yuhuan twisted her hips and turned her waist. Lianlian walked to Li Guolou's side in small steps, knelt on the soft cushion, and knocked on Li Guolou's legs. Men have to rely on coaxing, this There is only one man in the family, and a dozen wives revolve around one man.

Li Guolou felt comfortable all over, and said calmly: "Well, I love the four wives, and I don't mess around outside. As for the rumors in the Eight Great Hutongs today, they are all made up by those who sell jokes for the sake of fame. , you must not believe it. There are also the third wife, the female teachers of the New Fashion School, you have to manage them well and don’t allow them to post notes. I’m going to visit in the future, and I’m not even allowed to ask questions.”

Yelia brought hot tea for Li Guolou, and said with a smile: "Xiaolou, I can't do anything about it. Those female teachers are foreigners hired by me with high salaries. They are all advocates of the women's independence movement. They want to be close to her." It is their motivation to stay in the Qing Dynasty because you want to make a fortune, you have to understand."

"I don't understand. Now when I go out, I feel like a laughing man. Others are playing tricks on me. My ideal is to be a national hero, not a flower picker." Li Guolou is full of energy, and women use hue , power tempted him, and made him fall for it repeatedly.Now he wants to serve the country and the people, but the reality is that there are more and more temptations. The Eight-Nation Allied Forces who have gone forward want to test the depth of his pool. Of course, there will always be times when they can't hold it.When he went to visit Yesenia, he directly took care of this gypsy woman, and promised to marry Yesenia into the house after Yesenia's mourning period was over.Thinking of Yesenia, who was full of sex, Li Guolou showed a lewd expression. A man's success must have a group of women behind him. This is a symbol of success, and he is an outstanding representative of successful people.
