An explanation? Yi Zhizhi secretly thought, it seems that the previous judgment was good, the fire in the Jingshi Mansion was indeed arson, and it was not instigated by Daoguang, so who instigated this arson case that has been investigated for several months and still has no results? Heaven and Earth Society, Qinglian Sect, Mu Zhang'a, the most suspicious should be Mu Zhang'a, the inner city of the Jingshi, but it is not a place where Heaven and Earth Society and Qinglian Sect can come and go freely.

Seeing that he was silent, Bao Shichen continued: "This time can be said to have given the big shopkeeper enough face, but Yuan Qi's tossing movement this time is really not small, even if the big shopkeeper and Yuan Qi can be accommodated today, I am afraid that the new monarch will not be able to tolerate it when he ascends the throne...... Nanyang Navy, the big boss still has to be firmly in control. ”

"Sir reminds me." Yi Zhizu nodded slightly, and said: "This time to instigate demonstrations in more than 140 prefectures and counties in eight provinces, the imperial court will definitely regard Yuan Qi as a thorn in the eye, a thorn in the flesh, and appeasement at the moment, it is nothing more than counting on me to be grateful to Dade and hand over the Nanyang Navy." ”

Bao Shichen said tentatively: "The big treasurer plans to keep the naval fleet stranded in Java? ”

"The sea area of the Java archipelago is complex, there are many islands, in addition to the Netherlands, there are many Turkish kings and sultans who claim to be kings of the islands, and it is not surprising that the main fleet has been fighting for three or five years, and there is also a large Po Luo Continent."

"But there has been no news, and it is inevitable to give people a handle, I am afraid that there may be twists and turns."

Yi Zhixiang smiled and said, "Then they will report the results from time to time, which can be regarded as repaying the favor." ”

Xiguan, Exchange.

The trading hall was full of people, Yuanqi's stock price was rising, but the shopkeepers in the trading counter were very idle, the reason was very simple, in this case, no one was willing to throw out the stocks in their hands, they were all waiting for the price to rise, after the Daoguang Three Dao Edicts were published in the newspaper, the imperial court's attitude towards Yuanqi was already very clear, everyone knew that the stock price would continue to rise, and those who held stocks in their hands, who would want to miss this opportunity to make money.

Looking at the rising stock price, Jin Yuanqing's heart was simply happy, the big shopkeeper copied the bottom, he also gritted his teeth and bet on his net worth to eat a lot of about six yuan, this time he will naturally make a lot of money, how can he not be happy?

A man walked up to him quickly and whispered, "Shopkeeper, the big shopkeeper is here." ”

Hearing this, Jin Yuanqing hurriedly rushed to the backyard, and after entering the room to greet him, he reported: "Big shopkeeper, now that the stock price has rebounded to 1203, it is estimated that it should continue to rise ......." ”

Yi Zhishu nodded and said, "This price is already good, throw it!" Throw slowly. ”

Jin Yuanqing listened to it, and hurriedly said: "Big shopkeeper, it has risen to one, two, two, two, three, that is absolutely no .....problem, why should you rush to throw it?" ”

Glancing at him, Yi Zhifen asked slowly, "What is the purpose of our exchange?" ”

Jin Yuanqing said without thinking: "Raise idle funds." ”

"Not bad." Yi Zhizhi said earnestly: "The hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, if you can't make money, how can you absorb idle funds?" After a pause, he continued: "This time the stock price has plummeted, and many people have suffered serious losses and are afraid of stocks, which is not conducive to our absorption of idle funds."

With this wave of strong rebound, we want to let them regain their confidence, and when they rise to one, two, two, three, there will not be much profit margin. It is important to make money, and it is even more important to cultivate the financial market, if it is to make money, the exchange will be deserted, and the gains outweigh the losses. ”

"The big shopkeeper is far-sighted." Jin Yuanqing bowed slightly, and threw his admiration into the ground, and scattered the silver in his hand so easily, this is not tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands, but tens of millions of silver! Only the big shopkeeper has this courage.

"Less sycophants." Yi Zhixiang smiled and said, "Throw half of it, and keep half of it under my name and under the name of the exchange." ”

"My subordinates understand." Jin Yuanqing hurriedly said.

Yi Zhixiang told again, "Sell slowly, don't suppress the stock price, and take care of the stock price now." ”

A steamer slowly docked at the Xiguan Thirteen Lines Wharf, as soon as the ship docked, the passengers who had been tossed on the sea for several days with their luggage couldn't wait to squeeze to the side of the ship to rush to get off the ship, this is the newly opened passenger steamer from Shanghai to Guangzhou, the whole voyage was eight days, once launched, the business was extremely hot.

"Line up! All line up, don't line up and don't open the door. The two crew members shouted while helping to maintain order, in his early fifties, Wei Yuan, who looked a little thin, stood at the end of the line wearing a jacket and carrying a rattan box, his face was a little pale, and he was very seasick and dizzy when he rarely went to sea by boat.

On the dock, he called a small sedan chair and ordered: "Go to Lei Garden." Then he closed his eyes and recuperated, this time he was sent by Lin Zexu from Beijing to Guangzhou, the sedan chair stopped outside Lei Garden, sent the post in, and soon, Bao Shichen hurried out, and said happily when he met: "Mo Sheng came to Guangzhou, how can he not bring a letter in advance." ”

Wei Yuan smiled and said: "When I arrived in Shanghai, Fang Zhiwen also came to Guangzhou, and then came by steamer. ”

"The steamer from Guangzhou to Shanghai is a new operation, and the old man has not had a chance to take it, but Mo Sheng has tried it first." After Bao Shichen returned the salute, he immediately stretched out his hand and said, "Please-." ”

A small servant had already stepped forward to take the rattan box in Wei Yuan's hand, and at the gate where the two entered, Bao Shichen explained: "Master Hou is not in the mansion, and he has sent someone to find ......" ”

Wei Yuan hurriedly said: "It's not in a hurry, why bother." ”

"Mo Sheng doesn't know, our Hou Ye often stays in the factory below for a few days, and it is difficult to see people when he is idle." Bao Shichen said that he was turning the conversation around, "How many days did it cost to take the steamer?" ”

"Eight days." Wei Yuan said with a smile: "It's fast, it's fast, but it's a big bump, and the bones of the shaking body are about to fall apart, it's better to take a train, from Xuzhou to Jiangning, it's fast and smooth, and I don't feel bumpy at all." ”

Bao Shichen nodded slightly: "The train is indeed convenient for travel, fortunately this time Yuan Qi is safe, otherwise it will inevitably affect the construction of the Beijing-Hangzhou Railway and the Shanghai-Nanjing Railway." ”

Wei Yuan smiled when he heard this, and simply explained his intention, "I came to Shanghai this time, and I came here for this reason." ”

The two talked all the way into Tingyuxuan, and Wei Yuan came out after taking a bath and changing clothes, Yi Zhifen had rushed over, and the two inevitably had another greeting, after the ceremony was seated, Yi Zhifen asked tentatively: "Mr. came to Guangdong this time, but came for the matter of Yuanqi?" ”

Wei Yuan said slowly: "It's not only for Yuan Qi, but also for Hou Ye." After a pause, he asked rhetorically, "What are the plans of Master Hou now?" ”

What are the plans? Yi Zhisuff said without thinking: "Naturally, I am worried about the system. ”

"I take the liberty of asking." Wei Yuan asked: "At the beginning, Hou Ye asked Ding Wei to open the vacancy, but the emperor didn't allow it, why did the Hou Ye insist on opening the vacancy?" ”

"You can't blame Master Hou for this." Bao Shichen took the initiative to explain: "Hou Ye led the troops to go on an expedition abroad, defeated Luzon, and the red flag entered Beijing, without waiting for the edict to be rewarded, but what was waiting for was the death of his parents in the fire of the Hou Mansion in Beijing. Since it is a homecoming system, if you don't insist on opening vacancies, wouldn't it be like snow? ”

"Zhongtang is right, the fire in the Hou Mansion is really where the Hou Ye's heart knots are." Wei Yuan said slowly: "Zhongtang made a special inquiry, the day after the fire in the Hou Mansion, the emperor had already issued an order, and the Governor of the Nine Gates, the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, and the Shuntian Mansion would work together to strictly investigate the cause of the fire, and now the three of them have been demoted by three levels, and the knot of the Hou Ye should also be untied?" ”

Yi Zhishu glanced at him and said, "What does Zhongtang mean?" ”

"This time, more than 140 prefectures and counties in eight provinces marched and demonstrated in solidarity with Hou Ye and Yuan Qi, which has really laid the root of the bane." Wei Yuan said in a deep voice: "Hou Ye is an indispensable talent in the Qing Dynasty, and Yuan Qi is also the hope of the Qing Dynasty to enrich the country and strengthen the army. ”

"Entering Beijing as an official?" Bao Shichen lost his voice, and secretly slandered in his heart, what kind of bad idea is this? Isn't this a sheep in the mouth of a tiger?

"Before leaving Beijing, the emperor summoned the middle hall for three consecutive days to talk." Wei Yuan said slowly: "Hou Ye entered Beijing, took charge of the household department, entered the military aircraft, Nanyang minister, Nanyang Governor can be recommended by Hou Ye, border political reform, Xinjiang, Nanyang Province, the governor can also be recommended by Hou Ye." In addition, the noble sons of the Nanyang Navy clan and the children of the Eight Banners were all transferred to Tianjin to form the Beiyang Naval Division. ”

That's a lot of courage and sincerity! Yi Zhizhi secretly worried, in charge of the household department, into the military aircraft, the northwest frontier, the southeast coastal defense are all handed over to him, Daoguang is really not an ordinary weapon of him, and he is also full of confidence in Yuan Qi, but unfortunately, Daoguang's life is not long, if he can live for another ten years, he will not hesitate to agree to enter Beijing.

Bao Shichen was also shocked by Daoguang's conditions, and it can be seen that Daoguang really doesn't want to fall out with Yi Zhizhi and Yuan Qi, this condition is simply so generous that it can't be more generous, and these conditions are enough to ensure that Yi Zhizhi will not have any worries when he enters Beijing, and it is also very beneficial to Yuan Qi!

Yi Zhizu took out a box of cigarettes, smoked one, lit one, and smoked a few puffs before he asked, "Where is the prince?" ”

Crown prince? Wei Yuan Yileng, the prince really didn't mention it, and he didn't dare to believe it, so he immediately said truthfully: "This matter, Zhongtang didn't mention it, but now the prince who has the ability to compete for the prince is the fourth elder brother and the sixth elder brother, the sixth elder brother has always been close to the Hou Ye, if the Hou Ye enters Beijing, to set up the sixth elder brother, it is not difficult to think about it, with the emperor's respect for the Hou Ye to Yuan Qi, he will inevitably choose the sixth elder brother who is close to the Hou Ye." ”

Yi Zhishu nodded and said: "Mr. came from afar, the boat and car are tired, and I am tired when I think about it, so I will rest for a while, and later, Benhou will set up a banquet for Mr. to wash the dust." ”

Wei Yuan got up with a smile and said with a smile: "I was seasick all the way, and I was really tired of it." ”

Yi Zhishu got up and returned the salute, and then instructed the outside world: "Meilian, lead Mr. down to rest." ”

Wei Yuan, who was waiting, was taken out, and Bao Shichen said with a smile: "The strength of the Hou Ye's holy family is beyond limit, but is it tempting?" ”

"It's really tempting." Yi Zhicontent said unabashedly: "Under such conditions, if you are not tempted, isn't it determined to rebel?" ”

Hearing this, Bao Shichen's heart moved, the conditions offered by Daoguang are indeed extremely generous, but in fact, he can't help but be content to refuse, if he refuses, it is a clear objection, is this a temptation? Or is it sincere? After a slight hesitation, he said: "Master Hou can agree first, and then in the name of Ding Wei's system, after these promises are implemented one by one, it is not too late to enter Beijing." ”

Yi Zhizhi didn't say anything, smoking silently, he couldn't judge Daoguang's true intentions for a while, it was really that Daoguang's conditions were too generous, but it made him feel unreal, but Lin Zexu shouldn't have teamed up with Daoguang to deceive him?

After a while, he spoke: "These promises have been implemented one by one, and in a few years, what can be implemented at present?" ”

"Is there another mystery in this?" Bao Shichen frowned and said: "In charge of the household department, joining the military plane, this is just an edict, border political reform, Xinjiang and Nanyang provinces, this is not an overnight thing, at least after a year and a half of preparation."

At present, what can be implemented is the Nanyang Navy, the children of the noble families of the Navy Clan, and the children of the Eight Banners are all transferred to Tianjin to form the Beiyang Naval Division, and the candidates for the Nanyang Minister and the Nanyang Admiral are recommended by the Hou Ye. ”

"Let's start with the worst." Yi Zhizhi said in a sullen voice: "I don't enter Beijing, I am in charge of the household department, and I am on duty in the military aircraft, but it is just a false name, and the imperial court can also occupy the moral high ground." The Nanyang Navy is now in my hands, and Yi Zeng and 10,000 other noble sons of the clan are stationed in Manila to consolidate Luzon.

The sons and daughters of the noble families of the navy clan and the children of the Eight Banners were all transferred to Tianjin to form the Beiyang Naval Division, which was tantamount to transferring these 10,000 people from Luzon back to Tianjin in disguise. ”

Bao Shichen looked at him in disbelief, and didn't know how to speak for a while, if this is the case, this is a big trap, if he refuses, the court will immediately turn his face, and occupy morality, Lin Zexu will not hesitate to stand up and accuse him of being a traitor, if he agrees, the court must first ask for the withdrawal of Luzon's 10,000 navy, and then find an excuse to urge and force Yi Zhixin to enter Beijing.

After a while, he said softly: "Is Master Hou too worried?" ”

"I wish I was overly worried, too." Yi Zhishu said and sighed softly.

"How do you reply then?"

"How else can I reply? Naturally, agree! Yi Zhishu said in a deep voice: "I don't want to cause an unnecessary civil war because of my suspicion, 10,000 navies are not to worry, as long as the ammunition supply is controlled, it will not pose much of a threat." Agree first, then see the move. ”

As he spoke, he looked at Bao Shichen and said, "If it's really a trap, I'm afraid it will implicate Mr. ......." ”

Bao Shichen waved his hand and said, "The old man has already been on the boat of Yuanqi, it doesn't matter if he is involved or not, it doesn't matter if he is ...... involved." ”

"Don't worry, sir." Yi Zhisuff arched his hand and said: "Mr.'s family is dearest, I will take good care of someone, and if I notice something wrong, I will transfer first." ”
