Listening to Yi Zhi's contentment to introduce all kinds of machinery and equipment and factories, Deng Tingzhen and Yiliang couldn't help but look at each other, and they didn't dare to rashly express their attitudes.

The status of the supervision of the customs in Guangdong is neither high nor low, under the governor, governor, admiral, and academic administration, in the political envoys, according to the inspection envoys, but it is sent by the emperor Jian, has the right to play directly, with the color of the Qincha, to a certain extent, it can be regarded as the eyes and ears of the emperor's faction in Guangdong.

Other things are easy to say, but Yi Zhixin introduced all kinds of machinery and equipment and factories, and it was categorically impossible to hide from Guangdong Customs, and he was silent for a long time, seeing that Deng Tingzhen was still silent, Yiliang secretly scolded himself, secretly thinking that this cheap is really not easy to pick up.

Seeing that the two of them didn't say a word, like the two mud tires in the temple, Yi Zhixin knew that the two of them were afraid of bearing the burden, and estimated that they had to play the request, which was the case, it was better to simply say it, he went around a huge circle, in order to expand the scale of Yixue, which was his main purpose.

With a decision, he coughed lightly and said: "To open a steel factory, a machine manufacturing plant, and introduce all kinds of machinery and equipment, it is inevitable to need a group of skilled workers, that is, craftsmen, for this. ”

As soon as he spoke, Deng Tingzhen understood what he meant, and immediately interrupted him, saying: "The introduction of various machinery and equipment and factories is unheard of, and the imperial court has always been very strict against foreigners, and the Foshan-Guangzhou railway is only a special case, and it cannot be cited as an example, and the imperial court may not agree to this matter." Saying that, he looked at Yiliang and said with a smile: "What does Yueting think?" ”

This is to ask him to make a statement, and Yiliang will no longer hesitate. He said with a straight face: "That's not necessarily. Although the government and the opposition are in favor of strictly prohibiting crows. Slice. However, they are not in favor of cutting off absolute foreign trade.

The analysis of contentment is not unreasonable, crow. Since the root cause of smuggling lies in the unequal trade between the two sides, the imperial court strictly prohibits smoking and crows. piece smuggling, it is necessary to establish equal trade exchanges, the introduction of railways to introduce all kinds of machinery and equipment and factories, although it is unprecedented, but compared to crows. Piece smuggling. But it is a world of difference, and the court may not agree! ”

His words were tantamount to showing his attitude, and he strongly agreed with Yi Zhixiang's three suggestions, Deng Tingzhen said with a smile: "Since this is the case, then one guest will not bother the two masters." ”

This is to ask him to go up alone, Yiliang is neither polite nor pretending to be confused, and immediately arches his hand and says: "Xiaguan Xie Butang." ”

"You're welcome." Deng Tingzhen said and looked at Yi Zhizhi and said, "This matter involves a lot, and contentment must not exceed the rules." Waiting for the Holy Judgment. ”

Yiliang said with a smile on his face: "This official is not good at economics. Patch cultivation is also not well understood. The three suggestions will be elaborated in detail, and you can rest assured that the official will pay tribute. ”

"Lord Xie Zhongcheng understands." Yi Zhixiang hurriedly bowed to his body.

"And—." Deng Tingzhen seemed to remember and reminded: "Huang Juezi's "Please Strictly Prohibit Leakage to Cultivate the Ability of the Country" is still under discussion, and it is best not to publish it in Xiguan Weekly, and do not involve topics related to strict prohibition and relaxation of prohibition, so as not to be attacked by villains. ”

"I understand below." Yi Zhixiang hurriedly said, in fact, every issue of "Xiguan Weekly" must be reviewed by the Governor's Office in advance, and Deng Tingzhen's reminder is just to save some trouble for the newspaper.

"Xiguan Weekly" is easy to know contentment? Yi Liang was quite surprised, he had read this tabloid, and there was a page dedicated to introducing some Western experiences, which he felt was relatively novel, and deliberately sent people to collect old issues issued in previous issues.

Deng Tingzhen's seemingly casual reminder was tantamount to mentioning him, the Governor's Mansion was very concerned about this tabloid, he couldn't help but laugh secretly, when he first arrived, he wouldn't have nothing to do, and he just accepted a favor from Yi Zhi, smiled, and he said: "How did the Western experience and knowledge published in the "Xiguan Weekly" know about contentment? ”

"Lord Huizhongcheng." Yi Zhisuff said with a smile: "The Thirteen Lines deal with foreign businessmen all the year round, and there is no shortage of people who are proficient in Yi language, and most of the Western experiences published are from the mouths of foreign businessmen. ”

Deng Tingzhen said: "Yueting doesn't know anything, content itself is proficient in Western studies, speaks fluent English and Citi Chinese, can read and write the two languages, and often has contacts with a group of foreign businessmen. ”

"I see." Yiliang smiled: "No wonder contentment has a broad vision, it turns out that it is learning from China and the West." ”

"Lord Zhongcheng has a good reputation." Yi Zhishu hurriedly said humbly, and at a glance he saw Deng Tingzhen stretching out his hand to ask for tea, he hurriedly got up and saluted, and respectfully retired.

Out of the Governor's Palace, Yi Zhixiang was a little sullen, originally thought that Deng Tingzhen would be able to call the shots in the preparation of steel mills and machine manufacturing plants, after all, Daoguang had acquiesced to the construction of the Foguang Railway, which should be a logical thing, and he didn't want to ask for a decree, he was really a little worried, Daoguang would not agree, this is a suspicion of getting an inch, once Daoguang doesn't like it, this matter will be a little troublesome.

For the cultivation of crows in subject countries. Piece, he didn't do anything to count on, Daoguang is now a mind to strictly prohibit crows. Perhaps after the Opium War, this matter will take a turn, but he has a good impression of the newly appointed governor Yiliang, who dares to plant crows in the subject country on the cusp of this storm. film, can be described as quite courageous.

Back to Yuanqi Zonghao, into the Rong Garden, Jin Ying quickly called water to wait for him to wash his face and hands, a year, she grew a little taller, but plump a lot, her face was a lot fairer, out of a big girl with a water spirit, serving herbal tea, she glanced at the door, saw that the little girl Li Wang was not there, so she said softly: "Senior sister will be born tomorrow, you go with me." ”

For the cold and glamorous Bai Zhi, Yi Zhizhi was a little stunned, if he could not meet, it was better not to meet, and immediately said with a straight face: "At a young age, what kind of life did you live?" Don't look for trouble, are you afraid that no one will know about your relationship? ”

Jin Ying had long been familiar with his temperament, and immediately made a pitiful appearance, saying: "Staying in this Quartet all day long, people are bored and panicked. ”

"Come less." Yi Zhizhi said without hesitation: "I haven't seen anyone for three days, are you still panicking?" In less than a year, you have already supported 300 oceans from me, and I am raising a maid? It doesn't have to be so expensive to raise a daughter! Do you want me to write a letter to a real person? ”

Jin Ying's face flushed, and he said weakly: "How can there be three hundred?" ”

"Every time you pay money, you have a note, do you want to take it out and check it?" Yi Zhizhi said and got up and made a gesture to get the account book.

"Young master, young master, the slave knows that she is wrong." Jin Ying hurriedly squatted down and said.

Hearing her call the young master, Yi Zhishu glanced at the door, and saw that it was Li Wang who entered the courtyard, snorted lightly, and said, "I'll settle accounts with you later." (To be continued.) )
