If it weren't for seeing Old Man Chen, Li Mu almost forgot that he still had an identity as a *** child. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

It's no wonder that Li Mu, after all, now, including Old Man Chen, no one will look at Li Mu with the eyes of a "young child", Li Mu is doing all this now, many adults are out of reach, ignoring this fact, it is not only disrespectful to Li Mu, but also disrespectful to himself.

When he was in Springfield, maybe Old Man Chen still resisted everything Li Mu had now, but now, Old Man Chen has completely lost his temper, and he can be a member of the three grades of the Qing Empire, Old Man Chen is not stupid at all, and naturally understands what the name "Li Mu" means now.

So when he saw Li Mu again, although the old man Chen still complained, he didn't dare to complain in the slightest: "The old man is ordered by the emperor to investigate the living conditions of my Qing people in Cuba. ”

As far as Old Man Chen is concerned, these words are already quite polite.

Although Li Mu didn't dare to agree in his heart, he also cooperated: "The inspector is polite, if it weren't for those disagreements with some people, Li would not have joined the American nationality to seek asylum, although the inspector can rest assured, although Li is an American citizen, but after all, I am the son of my Han family, as long as Li is in one day, I will never let the children of the Han family be bullied in Cuba." ”

Li's words are also open, you can rest assured to go back and teach your students, there is no problem with me-

"Hehe, the old man has the emperor's order, but he can't be slack, and some things are better to see with his own eyes." Old man Chen insisted, as if he didn't understand Li Mu's words.

"Hehe, Lord Inspector, this is not the Qing Empire, the United States of Cuba and the Qing Empire have not established diplomatic relations, you are a dignified member of the Qing Empire, and it is not good to make a big show in Cuba, as for the living conditions of the children of the Han family in Cuba, it is better to leave this matter to me in charge, and I will not disappoint the Inspector." Li Mu simply took this job over and didn't give Old Man Chen any chance.

"Hehe, why doesn't the old man want to be quiet, but it's a pity that he can't help himself, please forgive me." Old man Chen shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Li Mu is so smart, he immediately understood the reason.

There is a Qing generation, the Manchu rulers have never trusted the Han people, needless to say, Old Man Chen must have domestic eyeliner by his side, if Old Man Chen handed over the errand to Li Mu, and he made a false response, then the loss of official dismissal is small, and the disaster is big.

"Hehe, well, please stay in Havana for a few days, and I should return to Guantanamo in five days, and then I can go with the inspector." Li Mu pondered for a moment and agreed to Old Man Chen's request.

As the saying goes, "ten years of repair can be crossed in the same boat", Li Mu and Old Man Chen have not only been on the same boat, but also on the same train, at least twenty years of repair, this bit of face still has to be given, as long as Li Mu is given a little time, Li Mu can guarantee that only let Old Man Chen see what Li Mu wants him to see.

Li Mu originally planned to leave Havana and go straight to Pine Island to inspect the construction of Pine Island, but with the episode of Old Man Chen, Li Mu changed his itinerary and left Havana and returned directly to Guantanamo.

To be honest, Old Man Chen thought that he had given Li Mu enough face, but he didn't expect that Li Mu once again refreshed Old Man Chen's bottom line.

When he left Havana, President Sylvester, Prime Minister Nelson, Finance Minister Ricardo and other senior officials of the United Cuban States personally went to the port to see Li Mu off.

The last time such a big formation was when Ulysses Grant was sent.

But who is Ulysses Grant, who is the commander of the Northern Army during the American Civil War, the current president of the United States, to see off such a figure, no matter how big the formation is, and what is Li Mu? A Chinese-American arms dealer who has just become an American citizen for less than a year.

Chinese -

Merchant -

In Old Man Chen's understanding, when these two words come together, it should be the lowest profession in Western society, but he didn't expect that in Cuba, Li Mu was actually treated with such courtesy.

"The tradition here is to value agriculture and look up to business, and businessmen, farmers, industrialists, and merchants are the last in line, but this is not the case in the United States." Li Mu didn't want to explain more, sitting in the cabin of the "Sea Ranger", Li Mu's heart had already flown back to Guantanamo.

Green Giles had already returned to Guantanamo three days ago, and according to Li Mu's instructions, he was ready to show the scene to Old Man Chen, Li Mu didn't know if Green Giles could understand what he meant, and he must not be self-defeating.

"Hehe, these foreigners attach importance to strange skills and tricks, and they are indeed a bit of a doorway." Wu Zideng, the deputy superintendent beside Old Man Chen, casually agreed.

Wu Zideng, a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, edited by the Confidant Museum, had a lot of research on arithmetic, and also dabbled in chemistry and physics, and was considered an enlightened person in the Qing Empire.

What Li Mu didn't know was that it was this Wu Zideng, who replaced Old Man Chen as the superintendent of the children a year later, and in the following years, Wu Zideng wrote to the Prime Minister Yamen several times, saying that the students in the United States behaved debauched, obscene and uncontrolled, and Xi taught foreigners, etc., and that the students' continued stay in the United States was not only useless but also harmful.

Later, when the government wanted to withdraw international students, it first asked Wu Zideng, the study abroad supervisor, for his opinion, and Wu Zideng strongly agreed with it, which played a key role in promoting it. In 1881, he returned to China gloomily, and the Qing government's plan to "master the art of mastering the art to control the razor" was completely shattered.

At this time, Wu Zideng had not yet shown his true face, so Li Mu only smiled politely at Wu Zideng and did not say much.

is not familiar, it is really impossible to talk, and the contempt for foreigners and the inexplicable pride shown in Wu Zideng's words are really unreasonable.

"It is amazing that Mr. Reem has achieved such results in the United States at a young age and with a Chinese background." Wu Zideng didn't seem to see the ridicule in Li Mu's eyes, and thought he was smart enough to give a sycophant.

"Hehe, Master Wu has won the award, in fact, I never think that it is a very shameful thing for me to have a 'Chinese background', I can get to this point, which just proves that Chinese people don't have to be worse than anyone else, as for age, hehe-there is no elder or younger, the master is the first." Li Mu replied lightly, compared with those people who are used to kneeling in the 21st century, Wu Zideng's illness is not serious, if Li Mu was angry even if he said this kind of thing, he would have already been angry to death.

"Hehe, that's right, it's the one who learns and the young, and the master comes first, I didn't expect Mr. Reem's Chinese skills to be so good-" Wu Zideng's face is also poisonous, and he also doesn't think that Li Mu's words are harsh.

Li Mu smiled without stubble, and glanced at the old man Chen who was speechless with deep meaning, this is a little unclear.

Old man Chen was humble, as if he didn't feel provoked at all, just drinking tea slowly, and his face was unwavering.

Well, when it comes to self-cultivation, Old Man Chen is still better.

"In fact, the two adults know the living conditions of the Chinese in Cuba, there is no need to go to Guantanamo in person, the two adults just ask Li directly, the Chinese in Cuba are now working under Li, please rest assured, although Li has become an American citizen, he will not treat his compatriots badly." Li Mu took the vaccination first, if he had seen the living conditions of the Chinese in Guantanamo, Old Man Chen and Wu Zideng were still picky, then don't blame Li Mu for not giving face.

"Mr. Reem, Wu heard that there is an army of Chinese in Cuba, which is invincible in all directions, and has a firm will to fight to the death, I don't know if there is such a thing?" Wu Zideng still couldn't help but leak the bottom.

Old man Chen suddenly let out a violent cough, and he didn't know whether to remind Li Mu or Wu Zideng.

"Hehe, it is indeed a fact that the fight to the death does not retreat, but the invincibility is an exaggeration, the two adults may not know that when Li first arrived in San Diego, the Chinese army went to the battlefield for the first time, and the troops of more than 1,600 people, only more than 400 people were left in a battle, tsk, it was very miserable-" Li Mu did not hide it, these things have been published in American newspapers, and they can't hide it.

"Sure enough, I am strong-willed, but it's a pity that such a strong division can't serve the dynasty." Wu Zideng sighed, and a pair of triangular eyes always stared at Li Mu, observing Li Mu's reaction.

"Hehe, even if this unit is brought back to China, they will not be able to exert one-tenth of their combat effectiveness, Lord Wu may not know that the instructors of this unit are all American officers, use American-style weapons, and eat imperial rations issued by the Americans, they should be regarded as the US army strictly speaking, and have little to do with the United States of Cuba." Li Mu smiled dumbly, returning to China to serve? Don't be funny, I'm afraid that if you dare to return to China, you will be killed all as soon as you get off the boat, leaving such an all-Chinese army in the country, is the little emperor afraid of a long life?

"No wonder so, no wonder so, it's a pity, it's a pity-" Wu Zideng was still pretending.

"If you want to build such a force, it is not difficult, I can get the weapons used in this army, and I can also help hire American instructors, as long as the two adults have a mind, there will always be a solution." As soon as Li Mu's eyes rolled, he began to pull business for his factory.

Well, to say that the Qing government is also a big buyer of arms, the Qing government has a large number of troops, and there are not enough arsenals in the country, so the Qing government spends huge sums of money every year to purchase armaments around the world.

To say that the army's weapons are actually small heads, and the navy's ships are golden dolls, it seems that the Qing government is forming the Beiyang Naval Division, if the price offered by the Qing government is high enough, Li Mu doesn't mind being a "beautiful traitor", so that the Japanese can eat well in the first year.

"Uh, this-" The expression on Wu Zideng's face was embarrassed, and Old Man Chen smiled wryly.

Your sister, Li Mu immediately remembered that Springfield still has a Zaihan, and that guy seems to have an arsenal too-
