Sixty-eight, the old knowledge of another country (2)
This person who was called An by Feng Zicai was the former Empress Dowager Cixi's purple eunuch An Dehai, but in the old years, because of the incident involving the Yuanmingyuan Palace, he did a little disgraceful action in it, and then he was exiled to Hepu to raise pearls, Gao Xinkui sighed, looked at An Dehai and said, "We haven't seen each other for ten years." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
An Dehai didn't expect Feng Zicai to bring someone over, but he didn't expect this person to be his old acquaintance, "Lord Gao," An Dehai's face was red and white, with a look of shame and inexplicability in his eyes, a little excited but still a little embarrassed, he sighed. "I haven't seen you in years, yes, it's been ten years."
"Since the two of you are old acquaintances, this is better." Feng Zicai sat down with a big grin, "Lord Futai, please sit down too, Lord An, you know this tall adult, right?" β
An Dehai restrained his excited expression and poured tea for the two people in front of him, "I knew each other in Beijing before, and I still know it," An Dehai said to Gao Xinkui, "You are now a Guangdong Domain." β
"More than that," Feng Zicai shook his head and said, "Now he is also the governor of Guangxi." β
An Dehai raised his eyebrows slightly, and Gao Xinkui explained, "Vietnam has suffered a big defeat, the country has declared war on France, and the original governor of Guangxi has been deposed. β
Hearing Xisheng's words, Gao Xinkui's eyebrows jumped violently, and Gao Xinkui continued, "Qinzhou is the front line of Vietnam, and there is no army to meet it, but I am afraid that Zhennan Pass will be lost in the blink of an eye. β
An Dehai said coldly, "The soldiers are easy to recruit, but the silver is difficult to make, although I raise pearls here in Hepu, I don't know the big things outside, but I also know that if the clan has silver, I won't ask for donations from all walks of life, and Zeng Laojiu won't go to the Foshan Guild to ask for silver, you don't have silver, how can you recruit soldiers?" Oh? An Dehai seemed to understand something, and nodded at Feng Zicai, "It turns out that you came to me to fight the autumn breeze." Don't you want two hundred taels of silver? An Dehai changed color, "You dead old man's heart is too big!" β
"Isn't this a helpless thing," Feng Zicai shook his legs, drinking tea and enjoying himself, "The richest person in this neighborhood is you, Lord An, if you don't look for you, who are you looking for?" β
An Dehai snorted coldly and stopped speaking, and said with a smile, "Father-in-law An, I didn't know that I was looking for you before I saw you, but after I saw you, I knew that the cost of this Qinzhou regimental training would be settled, as long as Father-in-law An helped me do this, so that the French could not enter Zhennanguan for a step, such a great achievement, then why is it difficult for you to return to Beijing and continue to Xisheng's side?" β
An Dehai shook his head, "It's not that simple," he let out a long sigh of relief, "Since it was you who came to talk about it, I naturally have no reason not to allow it, I have two million silver here." β
Gao Xinkui was very surprised, he didn't expect An Dehai to have so much silver, Feng Zicai was even more red-faced, and he was eager to try, "Okay, Lord An, I didn't expect that I Feng Zicai would fight geese all day long, but today I was pecked by geese in the eyes, I didn't expect me to ask for hundreds or thousands in the past, I am usually quite embarrassed, I think it's not good to reach out so much to ask for money every day, I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, what you gave Suri is not even a single hair of your old hair." Don't say anything, Lord An, if I can't recruit good soldiers and can't stop foreign devils, I'll just come to see you! I'll send someone to carry the money!" β
"Don't worry, this silver is not all for you," An Dehai said coldly, "I only have 600,000 taels of cash silver here, and the 600,000 taels will be given to you, and the remaining 1.4 million taels of silver will be arranged by Lord Gao, and you will have no share." β
Feng Zicai's face turned red, obviously very angry, "How do you say this?" Could it be that Lord An still can't trust my old man, so just give me such a little! "At this time, he doesn't think that 600,000 taels of silver is a huge amount, just kidding, there are two million taels of silver and jade in front, these 600,000 taels are considered a fart." In vain, I came to you to talk to you when I had time, and you gave me such a little! β
An Dehai waved his hand impatiently at Feng Zicai, "Dead old man, don't talk nonsense with me, I know you won't fill your pockets, but you are a person, you are too soft-hearted to the soldiers below, and there are some people who can't get by, so I will come to sue you, you are soft-hearted, but you don't think about it, but you come to annoy me all day long, and treat me here as a good hall, I tell you, now that there is no silver to pay to the front line for the time being, my silver here cannot be spent indiscriminately, I will send a few people to supervise, this 600,000 yuan for you, The amount of silver that should be given to the soldiers below is as much silver as it should be, and you must not be allowed to use it indiscriminately. β
Feng Zicai just refused again and again, "This An family's silver must be given first, here is a lot of money, otherwise the brothers recruited will not be able to fight with peace of mind when they go out of the customs in the future, and these people are my private soldiers, this court has no money guarantee, my old Feng naturally has to prepare it for him, what's the matter, you don't give me more here, what will I do to fight foreigners!" β
An Dehai obviously had already adapted to Feng Zicai's roar, sat in his position, picked up the teacup An Zhiruo, Gao Xinkui hurriedly comforted, "Don't worry, boss, I will immediately go to the imperial court, don't dare to say anything else, the establishment of the regimental training of Lei, Qin, and Lian will always be approved, Xisheng has always meant that as long as he is loyal to the country, he will never let him suffer." β
Feng Zicai didn't speak angrily at this time, just snorted coldly and stood up, "I'm going to watch them move the silver, and now I'm going to ship it to my house, you can talk more about your old acquaintances, the old man won't accompany you." β
An Dehai smiled slightly, "Don't eat the seafood dinner anymore?" β
"Give me the bamboo cage, I'll pack it and take it away!"
Feng Zicai left, leaving only Gao An and the two, Gao Xinkui asked An Dehai why he was so familiar with Feng Zicai, An Dehai smiled, "Not long after I came here, this old man also dismissed his official and went home, once he went to Qinzhou to deliver goods, he never wanted to be stopped by pirates, or he personally put on armor and fought off the pirates, so that he became familiar with it." β
The two of them are both frustrated people, one is dismissed, the other is exiled, and there is a little more pity and pity between each other, Feng Zicai has a heroic temperament, and he will not think that it is a big deal to make friends with a eunuch, plus An Dehai has silver here, Feng Zicai needs silver the most, so for so many years, they have been dating.
