"Youqiao, Lianfang, Yuting...what do you think?"

Li Hongzhang's old eyes seemed to be closed, and he supported his head and just looked at the fold in his hand. The milk on the table had long disappeared.

There was silence in the room, and it took Zhang Peilun to break the silence for a while: "Zhongtang, there are indeed some good examples in this matter. In the Sino-French war in Fujian, I also raised funds in Nanyang, but the income was limited, only tens of thousands of taels of silver. Anyway, the imperial court's official license is not valuable now, and there are many alternate officials, not less than those natives in Nanyang. I will give him a batch of official licenses and ask him to go in the name of the Minister of Propaganda and Punishment of the Fundraising Committee and let him go."

Li Hongzhang's eyes suddenly shot at his son-in-law like electric shock, but Zhang Peilun was swaying the fan leisurely.

"You Qiao, do you really think so?"

Zhang Peilun smiled and said nothing.

Li Hongzhang said coldly: "He pretended to be stupid and could deceive the bannermen in Beijing, but could not deceive me! This person... was so thoughtful."

Yang Shixiang frowned, and it seemed that he had been thinking hard: "Zhongtang, why don't we look at the future? He has bare hands and fists, how big can he make a big deal in Nanyang? The Minister of Nanyang is Liu Kunyi. This time the Beijing tide has also caused a lot of confusion for us. We will send this 25th to the court. This time, the court will definitely be sure of such small matters. Let's just add some confusion to Liu Kunyi, Nanyang minister..."

Li Hongzhang just shook his head: "I can't see clearly, I can't see clearly..."

His eyes turned to Ding Ruchang, the Beiyang Navy Admiral, was very reserved in the secret discussions of the signing room. His face seemed to not take this matter seriously. He faced Li Hongzhang's gaze and said loudly: "Zhongtang, the affairs of the Navy are all the truth. Without your instructions, we have to say so. What should we do with this ship? The Japanese have bought this ship very fiercely now. Our navy went to Nagasaki, and the Japanese looked at our warships... Now they have also invited the French to build iron armored ships for them, and they all carry cannons that can penetrate our warships. It is said that they are called the Sanjing Ship... Zhongtang, the Beiyang Navy is our foundation!"

Li Hongzhang stood up and looked at Ding Ruchang fiercely. He saw him lowering his head. Yang Shixiang whispered to him: "Yu Ting, don't you know the dilemma of the Zhongtang? The Beiyang Navy was not managed by the Zhongtang? If you add more boats and cannons like this, how can the Lao Fu's three seas be cultivated? What do the court thinks about our Beiyang? I think, the Beiyang Navy is now guarding Haikou, which should be enough."

Ding Ruchang whispered: "Then let's give up the sea? If those 25 can really raise funds in Nanyang, our navy..."

Li Hongzhang slapped the table: "Give him a message! Give him a name! Yuting, don't call me in front of me again in the future. There is still..."

He waved his hand to the signing room and whispered to himself: "Transfer to Qing? Trail to Qing? Trail to..."

～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～

In the house that Li Hongzhang gave to Xu Yifan, there was a high fever of red candles. In the flower hall, a banquet was just for the guests and hosts to have fun.

Xu Yifan only has one feeling about his current living environment - he is happy.

He wanted to eat in the flower hall, he was in the flower hall, he wanted to eat in the lobby, and he wanted to eat in his bedroom, but no one cared about him. The comfortable feeling of this space was completely different from the cramped feeling of spending more than one million in Beijing and only saving dozens of bungalows in the Third Ring Road.

Not to mention the dozens of maids and servants who are shuttled through the journey, they are all serving themselves!

Now Li Yunzong and Chu Wanli and a few students who had talked to him were transferred into his house and started paying the price. This was also the tradition of the military officers' houses at that time. There was a team of personal soldiers, Geshiha, on duty. This kind of guarding attitude was not something that the original civil servant Xu Yifan could imagine. But it also gave him the opportunity to take off his clothes and promote food.

He integrated into this era much faster than he thought.

The guests on the table were the shopkeeper Han who had traveled thousands of miles from Suiyuan.

Now, two foxes, old and young, were smirking at each other. They picked up the wine glass and looked cheering, covering their faces with a generous cheer. They couldn't stop thinking.

The waiter in the flower hall is just a dukyu. The little girl is now changing the cannons, and her tight little jacket with white fox fur is slim and erect. Before her hair is tied up, a pair of big braids swaying. She uses a wine plug to heat up the rice wine. After a while, she pursed her lips and looked at Xu Yifan, with watery eyes inside.

This master said he was lustful and couldn't stay busy every day. He stayed here by himself, just waiting for him to touch the door every night. But he was busy all the time! Thinking about that little girl Chen Luoshi, it seemed that she was not as good as him. When he arrived at Tianjin Wei, he didn't think about the appointment.

To girls, he is just funny?

However, no one noticed her girlish thoughts. Old Manager Han drank half a cup of tea with a glass of wine. He couldn't get over it, so he put down the cup. He looked at Xu Yifan with a smile and slowly took out a sheepskin box from his arms: "Mr. Xu, the joy of promotion, Da Shengkui has not congratulated him yet. Now the situation is big, so keep this little thing for reward. The old man first declares that the adult's money and interest are not included in it. When will the adults withdraw, it will be done in one sentence."

Xu Yifan also put down the cup and looked at the old fox's face with a smile. He took the box without hesitation and opened it. A thick stack of four-heng silver notes, the one on it was a bill worth 500 taels. This stack is probably 500,000 or 70,000.

I remember that I had just arrived in this era and I didn’t even have RMB on it. It really felt like I was a different world.

He waved his hand and Du Juan walked over. Xu Yifan smiled and said, "Please hold it and put it away. Luo Shi is not by your side, you are the shopkeeper."

"The shopkeeper?" Du Juan tilted his head, and his ignorant look was surprisingly cute. The little girl from the mountain field turned into a little loli in the inner house. She still felt a little accomplished.

"In the future, the cost of the house will be less than twenty taels. Zhang Yu will be the leader. If you have more than twenty taels, you will get the bill. I can't take care of so many messes, Master." Xu Yifan said with a smile.

Du Juan blushed anxiously: "I can't count and can't read..." Xu Yifan waved his hand: "I'll find you a literate sister?"

Macho, it’s so cool!

Old shopkeeper Han looked at his behavior with a smile. This little fox was interrupting him...

After settling down at Du Juan, watching Xu Yifan turn his head, the shopkeeper Han smiled again: "This house is naturally excellent, but there are still fewer people to call people. I don't think it's worth it for the adults. The people who do business have carefully selected and ordered people in the south, and they may arrive soon. I heard that the adults are quite fond of the pearl and beautiful jade, which is a sister-in-one, Dasheng Kuicheng has many favors, and is also choosing... Haha, it's me, it's me!"

Xu Yifan once again covered his face with a wine glass. It seems that this joke is well known to everyone in the world. In the future, in addition to "promoting the special order", he would simply add a "twin loli control" to his official title card.

It's just a show-off, I'm afraid I'm not here yet. He always felt that Mr. Han and Zhang Yu's identity were a bit different. But he had to wait and see...

The shopkeeper Han was still full of spring breeze: "My lord's mission is also the decentness of our Dashengkui. Who doesn't know that the adult wrote the European Games movie in Dashengkui? It is reasonable for our merchants to serve the court affairs. Dashengkui also has the brand of the Royal Merchants! As long as the adults speak, the number of rewards is just a matter of one sentence."

He smiled and raised his glass of wine: "If you say something slap in the mouth, inside and outside, it is the money you earned by Da Shengkui. Taking it out to serve, it will be Da Shengkui's face. Why not do it?"

Baba came to deliver money? He showed his diligence for nothing, either a traitor or a thief. Xu Yifan turned his mind like flying, and stopped the cup and looked at the shopkeeper Han with a smile. Da Shengkui's current plate, his money bill, his money bill was worth 500,000 yuan a year. He took it out, how many soldiers could he train and how much equipment could he buy? Can they really use their own money to train soldiers for the court?

Looking at the reserved smile of the shopkeeper Han, he just nodded slowly: "I want the money, but I just borrowed it..."

"Sir!" Xu Yifan stopped Mr. Han and shook his head and said with a smile: "Old man, we have been living a life-long friendship outside of our mouths. The road we are walking on is extremely difficult. The old man also understands in his heart that being able to support is the relationship of the old man. Thank you. But I plan to raise the money for the training of the army by myself. I borrow some of the old man here, for other things, and I will also count the old man's shares in the future..."

The old shopkeeper Han just looked at Xu Yifan, pondering and not speaking.

"...If I really talk to the old man, I will first give me fifty people who know how to settle accounts, can run errands, and can socialize! Then I will lend me one million taels of start-up capital. In the future, no matter what career you have, there will be 10% of Dashengkui's shares!"

Old shopkeeper Han also put down his cup and asked softly: "What career?"

Xu Yifan smiled mysteriously and raised his finger: "Foreign-style banks, machinery repair shops, private investment and commercial offices, newspaper offices, import and export companies that can issue money tickets!"

His grand plan was exchanged for Mr. Han's calmness. He frowned: "The old man doesn't understand the economic development of the adults, but is one million taels enough for so many names? Can adults use their own careers to cover the officialdom?"

Xu Yifan leaned on the back of the chair, looked straight into the eyes of the shopkeeper Han, and nodded coldly: "You can watch as much as possible. Brothers are in a desolate way, and you can still make 500,000 yuan for Mr. Han. Now I am holding a special order, so you can see what step I can do."

The two old foxes just now looked at each other with a serious expression. The Dujuan next to him did not dare to let out a breath. Even his breathing was divided into small whispers.

With a crackling sound, the red candle blossoms exploded.

Old Manager Han smiled, slapped the table, and reached out: "I'll give it to the person! I'll transfer people from various businesses immediately. The money is probably not enough. I'll lend you two million. If it's not enough, the old man is also curious about what kind of world can such a person like Lord Xu win!"

Xu Yifan laughed and ordered: "Dujuan, come here with paper and pen!"

Du Juan agreed to go, but Old Manager Han called her: "What are you doing with paper and pen?"

"Make a document!"

Mr. Han smiled faintly: "I, Mr. Han, still have some burdens for the two million silver deal. If you want the document, it is a bit embarrassing to spread it."

～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～

That night, under Xu Yifan's diligent retention, Mr. Han happily stayed in the guest room of Xu Daotai Mansion.

On the same night, Li Hongzhang was appointed as the governor of Zhili and the Beiyang minister, and submitted a memorial to the alternate Dao of Zhili Xu Yifan as the member of the Nanyang Propaganda and Pacification Fundraising Committee, and was already on the way.

All the characters in the Tianjin Health Bureau have their own thoughts on this night.

Mr. Han didn't fall asleep that night, so he got up and looked at the winter moon in the sky in the courtyard. I don't know when, a figure flashed around him, and Zhang Yu's voice came from behind: "Old man, have the money agreed to him?"

Mr. Han didn't look back: "Will I, Han Zhongping, dare not do what you in Xiang Sect told me?"

Zhang Yu's voice was deep: "Thank you, my grandfather... We will do this for him as soon as possible..."

Mr. Han just sneered: "Do you think he is really a lustful person? Look at the cuckoo, he is always by his side. His legs are straight and closed, his eyebrows are not dissipated, and his skin is empty... Is there a little girl who is as beautiful as a flower or a virgin? He is really a lustful person? How can the heroes of the world know about the world? "

But he just kept these words in his heart.

Looking back, Zhang Yu's figure has long disappeared.

On January 21, 19th year of Guangxu, the court issued an edict. The commissioner Xu Yifan, who was responsible for donating the Nanyang Propaganda and Purchase and Fundraising Committee for training troops. The matters of publicity and Purchase were discussed with the Beiyang Yamen and the funds raised. The matters of fundraising were reimbursed and settled with the Ministry of Revenue.

Just a month ago, all the sects of the imperial capital, who fought for the undercurrents for the Imperial Guard training, didn't care much about this kind of trivial matter.
