It was almost the time of the New Year's seal, so Li Guolou separated from Li Hongzhang and headed for Tianjin Wei with a convoy of more than 100 kashhas.Now Li Guolou's life is precious, people who have fought in wars have enemies all over the world, and they are afraid that someone will assassinate him, so he dare not slack off in his defense work.Riding a tall horse with a leather whip in his hand, a rattan knife in his back, and a revolver hanging from his waist, the vicious Ghoshha swaggered in front and back of more than a dozen carriages.Ordinary people are not allowed to come close, even if he rewards beggars, he will not show his face.

In order to reassure Emperor Tongzhi of his doubts, Li Hongzhang used the old servants brought from his hometown and hired escorts to guard the house.

Now Li Guolou is scruples on the contrary, and he uses sergeants to clear the way when he goes out. The more than 200 Goshhas raised in his house are counted as an army establishment, and they eat imperial food.Li Guolou no longer has the consciousness to be a low-key official. The representative of the Westernization School who is a benchmark will cause a sensation wherever he goes.

Li Guolou didn't have the consciousness to avenge justice for the people, and he didn't want to accept the case. If he was entangled in official affairs, he would have to watch him from beginning to end.What is he doing now, which has nothing to do with people's livelihood?He is too busy, so from leaving Beijing to now, the banner of Youdu Censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate has never appeared.Instead, the banners of "General Soldier Li" and "Xinwu Army" were hung.

Li Hongzhang has agreed to transfer Liu Mingchuan from the Xinwu Army and hand over the Xinwu Army to Li Guolou as the head.Li Hongzhang considered building Taiwan and Penghu into one province, becoming the No. 14 administrative province of the Qing Dynasty, and making Liu Mingchuan the first governor of Taiwan Province.Behind this scene is the power-for-money transaction between Li Hongzhang and Li Guolou. The success of the Invitation Bank brought the economy of the Qing Dynasty to a new level, allowing the Qing "government" to have more money for industrial infrastructure construction, and allowing the Qing Dynasty to The aristocrats understand that industrialized society is changing with each passing day, and restructuring can bring great wealth to the country. [

The cold wind was bitter, and there were few pedestrians on the official road. The pennants of "General Li" and "Xinwu Army" were planted on more than a dozen carriages, and the grinning horse team marched against the northwest wind.

Li Guolou, Yelia, and Xie Xiuzhu were in the same carriage. The two ladies of Haoming were dressed in furs and were lazily leaning on the bearskin mattress. warm temperature.

The little girl Qiuye was bought by Yelia in Baoding Mansion. Whenever she saw orphans selling grass on their heads along the way, Yelia bought them all and took in more than 400 orphans.It is impossible for Li Guolou to make the beggars disappear in the towns, so he can only do his best to take care of the lives of these more than 400 orphans, so that these orphans will not freeze to death in the barren mountains.

As for the refugees with their families, at this time, the Qing Dynasty opened two openings, one was "going to the west", and the other was the newly opened "passing through the Guandong". The opening of these two openings drove the flow of tens of thousands of people. The government gave some help to the refugees. When they arrived at the reclamation area, they would give some food, farm tools, and simple shelters. However, there were many difficulties along the way, and many people died of freezing and starvation. "Walking to the West" and "Crossing the Guandong" are the hopes of Qing Dynasty. Peasants without land are heading towards the unknown world. The Qing people bombed and could only develop the barbaric Northwest and the three eastern provinces.Another immigration area, the island of Taiwan, is still on paper.

There was a crisp sound in Li Guolou's hand. It was the new silver dollar made by Baotong Money Bureau. The two silver dollars made a crisp "ding ding" sound when they collided.

The little maid Qiuye took out a silver dollar from her pocket, looked at the white and round thing in her hand, it was a silver dollar, she became a rich person, giggling and laughing coquettishly, the master is a kind person , making her feel like a dream.

This is the first batch of silver dollars made in the Qing Dynasty, using Prussian smelting technology. On the whole, the silver dollars are very beautifully made, with natural and clear patterns, delicate and rich colors, and "made by Baotong Money Bureau" on it. There is "one tael of folded silver" at the bottom, and the words "Tongzhi Tongbao" in the middle. Qian Wenxiu's elegant and dignified strokes are written by Li Hongzao.

On the back of the silver dollar, there are two big characters "one yuan", followed by a dragon pattern, and the small characters "[-]% silver included" on the side.

Yelia gently stroked a silver dollar with her fingertips, feeling the patterns on it and the tooth patterns on the edge, and then grabbed a handful of silver dollars from the silver box next to it, and let it fall, making a pleasant clanging sound. The luster of the white flowers in the silver box dazzles the eyes.She has long since put money in her eyes, just looking for something new.

Xie Xiuzhu didn't even bother to touch it, the metal was greasy and the silver dollar was so dirty!Her hands are used to "touch" antiques, only pricey treasures will make her eyes shine.

Li Guolou let a silver dollar roll between his fingers, and said triumphantly: "This is a gift I brought to the Qing Dynasty, which will completely change the situation of the Qing Dynasty's silver outflow. Prosperous."

The little maid, Qiu Ye, rubbed her eyes and opened her mouth wide open. She couldn't believe the scene in front of her. Could it be that the master is a god and a man? A silver dollar actually has life jumping between her fingers.

Xie Xiuzhu gave Li Guolou a languid hand, and said with a coquettish smile, "Don't play with the small building, you can only deceive children with this trick. Whether Zilong Temple is prosperous or not has nothing to do with us? Our family doesn't go in to burn incense."

"Ding!" A silver dollar went up into the air, and Li Guolou said with a playful smile: "Second Grandma, you don't know yet, Zhen Yuhuan was hooked by me, and Xi Shi will also betray her. The charm is limited."

"Chichichichi!" Xie Xiuzhu and Yelia sneered, they didn't admit that Zhen Yuhuan was Xi Shi, what should the family have to guard against, how good it is to be frank and frank.

"Second Madam, don't look down on this batch of silver dollars. It won't be long before this thing will become an antique, and Tongzhi Tongbao will be doubled ten times." Yelia held a silver dollar and blew it in front of his mouth, "Ding... "..." The crisp voice echoed in Xie Xiuzhu's ear.

Xie Xiuzhu pursed her lips and said, "Forget it, I don't care for anything other than money. I'll still collect your oil paintings. It won't be a problem to multiply them a hundred times in the future, but I will curse you to die early."

As soon as the words were finished, Yelia stuffed a silver dollar into Xie Xiuzhu's neck, and the two began to fight in the carriage.

Li Guolou said dissatisfiedly: "You don't want to double your money, only the circulation of silver dollars will show its value, otherwise I will be a criminal of the Qing Dynasty. When I arrive in Tianjin tomorrow, I will hold a press conference to publicize the benefits of silver dollars. The reporters who came let them If you subscribe for silver dollars with a [-]% discount, I will make a loss-making transaction.”[

Yelia sat up from the blanket, and said anxiously: "This is not good for Xiaolou, it will cause a big disaster, you must set a limit, and each person can subscribe up to ten silver dollars. You don't know how cunning the reporter is. People can be deceived so much that they don’t even know what it means.”

"Oh! This is my slip of the tongue. I know the virtues of journalists, and I will not give silver dollars to reporters for nothing." Li Guolou argued that he is not a fool.Journalists like to drill loopholes, eggs without seams, reporters will drill a seam like a fly.How can we make a big opening when the silver dollar is issued, allowing reporters to dig the first pot of gold.

Xie Xiuzhu said in a low voice: "Xiaolou, I heard that Sheng Huaixuan was going to issue dragon stamps. I didn't know the importance of publicity, so I regarded stamp issuance as a simple business. He has a strategic vision at all. I want to take action." Sweep out the [-] dragon tickets in the market, and for a ten-cent dragon ticket, I want to copy ten silver dollars, how much money do you think I will make?"

Li Guolou kissed Xie Xiuzhu viciously, and praised: "Smart! Sheng Huaixuan is not mean enough. He forgot to dig the well when he drank water. He just wanted to honor Mr. Fu Xiang. I wanted to take revenge on him a long time ago, mistress." "Grandma", you have to be more ruthless, let Sheng Huaixuan regret it for the rest of his life, and see that I can't lift my head up, and the inferior people will always stand in the gutter, and they want to be equal to me, and don't just soak in "piss" to see."

Sheng Huaixuan was very conceited. He never said that Li Guolou told him about the post and telecommunications business. Instead, he regarded himself as the founder of the post and telecommunications industry in the Qing Dynasty.Now the government and the opposition publicize that the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications and the Ministry of Railways will become the two ministries established by Daqing. Take a share.Between friends, there is also a conflict of interests. In the face of interests, there are forever friends. Li Guolou regards Sheng Huaixuan as a business competitor.

Li Guolou's business empire is shown by the attitude of seeing all mountains and small mountains. He has never thought of finding an equal partner. Even the woman he loves most, Yelia, is just a [-]% wife, big brother, big sister. It only occupies a small part of the business empire. Li Guolou thinks most about his own interests. He has never thought of entrusting his wealth and life to others. Even if the woman is sleeping next to him, he will use checks and balances to minimize the risk. change.

The national hero Qi Jiguang became impoverished when he was old because his wife returned to her natal family with all the family's belongings.Taking history as a mirror, Li Guolou is even more guarded by everyone. The wives also know Li Guolou's virtue, and the benefits must first be handed over to Li Guolou. This has become Li Guolou's family rule, "Eat my People, you must be eaten by me!" This is Li Guolou's catchphrase.

Yelia glanced at the shining silver box and sighed: "I thought that being a big banker with a lot of wealth and living in a posthouse was the greatest happiness in life. Only now do I realize that this is a responsibility. Tens of thousands of children like Qiuye can live a good life, money! It’s still not enough, the money for building the school building, I don’t know where it came from, I’m so worried that many of my blond hairs have turned white.”

Qiu Ye made a sign of the cross on her chest, and said piously: "Mrs. Yelia, you are the reincarnation of the Virgin Mary. I pray for you every day before going to bed."

Qiuye is a smart and intelligent child, and he stood out from more than 400 orphans. With just one sentence, Yelia's heart was overjoyed. I rewarded you, good things come in pairs, and these two silver dollars will bring you good luck for a lifetime."

Qiu Ye kowtowed to thank her, clutching two silver dollars in her small hand, she was not an orphan, her mother still lived in Baoding Mansion, washing clothes for a wealthy family and living a poor life.But her mother heard the news that Yelia, a great philanthropist, took orphans along the way, and only accepted orphans who were prostituted, so she asked her daughter Qiuye to pretend to be an orphan and sell herself, and by virtue of Qiuye's cleverness, she sneaked into Yelia's side.

"A ten-cent dragon ticket is worth ten silver dollars!" This news must be passed on to his mother, Wang Zhang, Qiu Ye secretly swore.A lowly person even has a name. Qiuye will change the life of her mother, Wang Zhang, and the ten-cent dragon ticket will witness the journey of the laundress Zhang to become rich.

Li Guolou didn't have the slightest feeling that the thin and thin Qiuye was a spy, and the detective sometimes misunderstood him. He simply didn't regard this kind of child as a smart person, and was still immersed in love and affection.

"Really? Let me take a look." Li Guolou was concerned about Yelia's physical condition and fiddled with Yelia's hair. Women are meant to be coaxed, and there is no need to take Yelia's words seriously.

"Well, it's okay! She's still a beautiful blonde." Li Guolou gave Yelia a reassurance. It's a normal phenomenon for blonde hair to turn gray, and people always get old.

Xie Xiuzhu curled her lips, exposing Yelia's lies, where did the money go?It is not used to build a French manor.There are a lot of hypocritical kindness in the Dashan Family, if the little girl Qiuye is not for her beauty, there will be no threat, will Qiuye be facing Li Guolou?

Li Guolou comforted: "Third Madam, don't worry, there will be, there will be everything, not this year, but in the next year, I still want to see your 60-year-old appearance, with white hair and incredible beauty."

With a cry, Yelia has fallen into Li Guolou's arms. She loves this man because she chooses to live in a big family. The system of three wives and four concubines in the Qing Dynasty has its own advantages, anyway. She doesn't know how to write any memoirs, or let Eugene continue to write "The Legend of Yelia", and weave her life in the Qing Dynasty into a story in a fairy tale.

Xie Xiuzhu looked at Li Guolou hugging Yelia jealously. She also made great contributions to this family, but she was far behind Yelia, but she would not admit defeat.Yelia has grown gray hair and is about to turn into an old dish, but she is still young and beautiful, and she is also snuggled up to Li Guolou, enjoying the joy of the journey.

The box of silver dollars was closed, and the brilliance of silver was fleeting. To Li Guolou, wealth has lost its meaning, and the silver dollar empire has become his possession.There are already too many women in the family, and the temptation happens every day. As long as he is willing to be cheap, those officials will send their wives and concubines to his bed. He will take the opportunity to touch it and enjoy it. He is the dream lover of women in the Qing Dynasty.

But Li Guolou suppressed the evil thoughts in his heart and presented himself as a gentleman. Li Guolou only pursued power. His dream was to be a national hero who would serve the country faithfully. The flag of the Xinwu Army was flying in his dream. Cutting off the enemy's head, the killing male is the world he pursues.

Li Guolou was sleeping in the bumpy carriage. The motorcade arrived at the post in Shuangqiao Town, and the local officials who greeted him respectfully held a notebook and waited for Li Guolou's reception.Every official's face glowed, and they were proud to see Li Guolou. Li Guolou, the guide of the Qing Dynasty, would lead them on the road to wealth. [

Li Guolou stepped out of the carriage, and he was greeted by a group of bowing officials. Those officials who used to call him brothers have now become his subordinates.The world is unpredictable and ever-changing. Li Guolou returned the courtesy and bowed to the end. They are old friends, so why bother to be polite.
