"Yes," Liang Ruyi's face wrinkled slightly, "I'm afraid it's not good for me to be in the limelight today, so be careful." △," the little eunuch hurriedly saluted the two red-clothed eunuchs, Liang Ruyi knew that An Dehai had something, and he was afraid that he would be inconvenient, "I'll go to the front of the palace to wait, staring at the boys below, so as not to get out of the basket, brother, you are done with this matter, and you will come in to serve." ”

"Yes," An Dehai bent down slightly, let Liang Ruyi go out, although Liang Ruyi was not the queen mother's henchman, but he was a celebrity in front of the first emperor, after the original head of the heart palace was old and left office, he met three points of love, and when he saw Liang Ruyi, the queen mother would inevitably think of the past, so he promoted Liang Ruyi to be the head of the capital and also in charge of the internal affairs office, right now, Tang Wufu of Chuxiu Palace is in charge of the queen mother's living and diet, Liang Ruyi is in charge of the affairs of the heart palace, and assists the queen mother in political affairs, An Dehai is indeed outside to open a factory to make money for a living, Liang Ruyi is cautious and cautious, and he serves the Queen Mother very well, and the matter of the audience is handled smoothly, not only the Queen Mother is satisfied, but the Minister of Military Aircraft and others also praise Liang Ruyi. Therefore, An Dehai also needs to respect Liang Ruyi, after all, when he was doing chores in the imperial dining room, Liang Ruyi had already served in front of the palace.

When Liang Ruyi went out, An Dehai frowned and said to Xiao Guizi: "What's so urgent?" Baba also ran here. ”

"The dividends of the ash factory this year came out, and the financial accountant asked me to present it to my father-in-law to decide, this is already twenty-seven, and the dividends were paid before the small year in the past, and this year I really can't delay it any longer, so I found my father-in-law, and I must send it quickly."

An Dehai nodded, "It's not just dividends, you also have a sum of money at the end of the year," An Dehai smiled and nodded Xiao Guizi's nose. "No wonder it's so obsessed! The Queen Mother and her old man are sympathetic to our palace people, and they also send us some points, so that the big guys can take them home to subsidize the family. An Dehai took the booklet and looked at the number of things, the ash factory is thriving, and this year's dividend is two-thirds more than that of previous years. An Dehai saw that there was a financial plan for running the factory and the signature of the promotion officer, which must be right, so he took a pen tube out of his sleeve, pulled out the lid, put it in his mouth a few times, and wrote his name below. ”

"Don't talk nonsense, I'm waiting in front of the Queen Mother every day. Smoke should also be smoked good handwriting. An Dehai scolded with a smile, and Xiao Guizi took out another booklet, "This is the account of the Haihe China Merchants Steamship Bureau, and the dividend is not at the end of the year, which is just that, it's just that this account is inappropriate in the Ministry of Internal Affairs." I quietly asked the people who were proficient in money and food in the household department, but there was a big mistake. ”

An Dehai frowned. "What's going on? What did you find? ”

"The accounts of the steamship bureau are clear, but compared with the previous years when the new construction was just started, the interest rate is not as good," Xiao Guizi said cautiously, except for the newly built factory presided over by An Dehai over the years, other factories of the Ministry of Internal Affairs have occasionally lost money. But the factory run by An Dehai has never seen a loss, and the profits are more and more year by year, otherwise what kind of good money boy An Caishen is called? Therefore, the accounts of the steamship bureau are like this, and Xiao Guizi and a few others always feel that it is inappropriate. So I came to tell you in person, "It's cool on the account, but I'm not afraid that someone will eat the leopard's gall and dare to secretly use it for himself, but," Xiao Guizi wanted to speak and stopped.

"Just what? You say it directly, "Andehai is breezy and light, now he has gold and silver seas, a little about the steamship bureau, to be honest, Andehai does not put it in his eyes, after all, there are profits and losses in business, but Xiao Guizi's statement is indeed true, suddenly it is good, why is the business of the steamship bureau not good?" "It's only our people here, so don't worry if you have anything to say."

"The slave also specially asked the people who came back from Tianjin, and said that there are also several commercial steamship bureaus in Tianjin, which have divided a lot of our business, and even the Tianjin Governor Yamen has organized a Dagukou steamship bureau to grab business with us."

"Since Lord Muyanga took up his post as the governor of Tianjin, I knew from the governor of Tianjin that there would inevitably be people who would compete with us for business, but I guess there would not be many voices, how long did we start doing it? They have only been doing it for a few years, these things are not done well if they have money, let's take the lead first, will this advantage retreat so quickly for a while and a half, there must be other reasons? Look at the way you look, you know, you say. ”

"Yes, the slave said bluntly, the route of our steamship bureau, in addition to the usual route to the southeast coast, the most profitable route is the route to Jinzhou, where gold was found, and the big guys are very generous, but from this year onwards, the governor of Tianjin will not allow everyone to go to Jinzhou again, and the people who want to go to Jinzhou have changed to Dengzhou or Laizhou, and this business is much worse all of a sudden."

"This new governor of Tianjin?" An Dehai muttered, "How so? Isn't it possible to have to have his merchant ships to go to Golden State? ”

"No, in short, don't let everyone go, no one's merchant ship will make it."

An Dehai nodded, "I know about this, you can go back." There is always an explanation for this. Xiao Guizi called a thousand and withdrew, and still arrived at the small door of the Heart Raising Gate to prepare to go back to the Nanxun Palace, Tong Laojiu was still on duty, Xiao Guizi saw Tong Laojiu, suddenly remembered something, and pulled Tong Laojiu to a secluded place, "Brother Jiu, do you know that after the New Year, where is the martial arts hall in Fengtai about to open?" ”

"I know about this, I heard that it was a thing made by Chen Zhongtang of the Ministry of War, that is, in the future, the generals and the general army will be in charge or something, and they will have to study in it for a year and a half before they can actually give the official position to go into battle to kill the enemy, but it is not much different from the Guozijian, but they are all military generals, and many people don't look down on this martial arts hall."

"I said Brother Jiu, I know your martial arts, and I am very good, otherwise I wouldn't be the head of the guards of this heart-raising sect, but if you want to be in the phase, brother, I think it's better to go to the martial arts hall to get an official and a half-job, no matter how bad it is, you can't go there to be a mistake!"

"Brother follows Father-in-law An, what's the matter, is there any news?" Tong Jiu was quite interested.

"This matter is the Queen Mother's idea, Chen Zhongtang is just acting on orders," Xiao Guizi said quietly, "The Seventh Prince is already preparing to build the Shenji Battalion, and the leaders of this Shenji Battalion are all ready to come out of the Martial Arts Hall, which is powerful, Brother Jiu, you can weigh it yourself." ”

Although Tong Jiu was ignorant, he also knew the power of the Queen Mother, so he hurriedly responded, secretly planning to get off the post in his heart, and went home to ask the tigress at home, she was the most idea, not to mention that the two were talking, An Dehai heard the news of Tianjin, stood in the side hall for a while and then turned around and went to the Dongnuan Pavilion, and waited until he quietly entered the Dongnuan Pavilion, just Liang Ruyi walked out with a whisk and saw An Dehai, "This time, Lord Hu Linyi just thanked him and went out to rest, and the Queen Mother has already named him a scholar of the East Pavilion." ”

"This is a great event, have you joined the direct military plane?"

"I didn't say this," Liang Ruyi shook his head, "The Queen Mother asked me to go to the military aircraft first, and then call it later." ”

"Who's next?"

"It's Lord Zuo, the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian."

An Dehai nodded, beckoned the palace maid who was waiting for the tea to come over, personally brought a bowl of tea to the Dongnuan Pavilion and went in, bypassing the screen, the queen mother wearing court clothes sat on the throne behind the emperor's throne, and the Tongzhi Emperor also sat on the throne, An Dehai saw that Zuo Zongtang had not come in, so he took the azure dragon playing in the water Qianlong imitation firewood kiln and presented it to the queen mother, "Niangniang drink tea to moisten your throat." ”

"Well," the Queen Mother picked up the bowl, took a sip, and saw An Dehai standing on the ground without moving, knowing that he had something to say, "What's the matter?" ”

An Dehai hurriedly said Xiao Guizi's words in detail in front of the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother frowned slightly, such a thing, it is not small to say, but it is inevitably too trivial, An Dehai hurriedly said about the Jinzhou Channel, not only the Queen Mother knew the problem here, but even the Tongzhi Emperor in front of him was also shocked when he heard this.
