Seventy-six, the new man and the old man (1)
An Dehai was about to spread out the holy decree in his hand and look around, but suddenly stopped his movements, "En? He frowned slightly, very displeased with the crowd of onlookers on both sides who had no sense of receiving orders, "Protector," he ordered lightly, "to make everyone kneel." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
The officials and officers and soldiers suddenly agreed, took out the whip, and ordered everyone to kneel, many honest people have already knelt, and some of the ghosts who were beaten by the whip cried and cried, and they had to kneel, seeing everyone bowing to the ground, An Dehai showed a smug smile at the corner of his mouth, slowly rolled up the yellow cloth, and said a few words, a few words, simple, but Hu Xueyan suddenly jumped up.
"The Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Internal Affairs lent 10 million taels of silver for the turnover of the Fukang Silver Account."
"The 30 million treasury bonds of Shanghai Province were issued by Fukang Yinhao."
Hu Xueyan's originally cold and stiff heart was slowly revived by a sudden warm current, he raised his head for a while, all the sounds and lights around him had disappeared, his eyes began to be in a trance, and the whole world seemed to have left a figure of the bright yellow cloth scroll embroidered with golden dragon auspicious clouds in An Dehai's hand.
His sanity slowly came to his senses, and the steward beside him pushed him hard, "Dong Weng, Dong Weng!" Our silver trumpet is saved! ”
Hu Xueyan slowly came back to his senses and said in a trembling voice, "Dare to ask my father-in-law, where is the ten million taels of silver?" ”
"The ship has arrived at the Wusongkou wharf, and it will be able to get to the wharf here on the Bund soon," As soon as An Dehai's voice fell, a deafening whistle sounded outside, "Oh," An Dehai smiled, "It's already here," he couldn't help frowning slightly when he saw that Hu Xueyan was still in a state of dementia, and Ling Ran said, "Hu Xueyan, what are you still doing in a daze, why aren't you ready to accept the order?" ”
Hu Xueyan kowtowed in disbelief, took the holy decree, opened it tremblingly, screamed in disbelief, and then struggled to stand up and rushed out, An Dehai stood proudly with his hands behind his back, "Such an uncontrollable self-control is also the Southeast Silkworm God?" He couldn't help but laugh and instructed the steward of the Fukang Yinhao, "Pull your family Dongweng in, don't let people see the joke." ”
The stewards rushed out, An Dehai flicked his sleeves, squinted and looked around, taking in everyone's expressions one by one, hehe sneered, "Everyone here, have you heard the will clearly, from now on, this Fukang silver number will be under the control of the Empress Dowager Cixi Xishengye, and a word of nonsense, on the ground of the Qing Dynasty, no one can play any tricks under the nose of the Xishengye, whoever wants to disobey the will of Lafayette, then weigh it first, whether his weight is enough to be on the table!" He waved his sleeves, "Get out of our house, you want to withdraw money with silver, don't rush at this moment!" ”
The crowd slowly retreated, the hall was empty, and the atmosphere that should have been bleak became a little joyful, Hu Xueyan rushed in again, and kowtowed several times towards An Dehai with tears in his eyes, "The villain is grateful to Xisheng Tian, and there is nothing to repay, so I can only kowtow first, and ask my father-in-law to convey the villain's gratitude on my behalf!" ”
"This silver is lent to you, without interest," An Dehai had already found an official hat chair and sat down, "Xisheng still has a will, this 10 million taels of silver dollars is taken out of the Vietnamese bonds, and it is only a temporary need to lend it to you, but Yan Jingming Shangshu of the household department also agreed, otherwise this silver will not be taken out." In his eagerness, he did not take so much, and there were less than a million taels of silver on board, far less than ten million taels. ”
"As long as it is the will of the Western Sage, no matter how much silver there is, the Fukang Silver will definitely be able to tide over the difficulties and escape this catastrophe." Hu Xueyan understands very well that in order to deal with his own characters, except for the French, everyone else has to give up strangulation of himself when the Empress Dowager Cixi clearly stated his position, "The government and major commercial houses in Liangjiang, Zhejiang, Fujian and Shanghai are no longer running on money, and they will deal with ordinary depositors, and there is no problem with the villain's silver number," the dignified southeast silkworm god couldn't help but choke up at this time, "If the Xisheng helps, I'm afraid that the villain will be doomed at this time," he wiped his tears and kowtowed again.
"Okay, don't kowtow, the ground here is a good white marble, if you break yourself, it's not good," An Dehai said lazily, "If you want to kowtow to Xisheng, kowtow yourself, you don't need me to convey it on your behalf." Hu Xueyan raised his head, looked at An Dehai and said with a smile, "Hu Xueyan, you silkworm god, I'm afraid that you will become the silkworm god of my Qing Dynasty next, and I don't know how many lifetimes of high incense your ancestors have burned, clean up, and prepare to take over, the West Sage will come to Xingfukang Silver in a while." ”
"What?"
Wusongkou Wharf, the words of the Empress Dowager Cixi and Li Hongzhang continued, the Empress Dowager Cixi bluntly said that she valued Zuo Zongtang more, "Your teacher Zeng Wenzhenggong, who is a good man in learning and managing the army, is a good hand in everything, and he is also perfect in life, but he has one thing, but I don't take it the most, that is, he cherishes his wings too much." ”
"The pursuit of fame and fortune for others is an ordinary thing, Zeng Wenzhenggong, everything is too good to be unpopular, this is very good for colleagues, but for me, it is not very good."
Li Hongzhang's forehead showed a few beads of sweat, "I'm not talking about the emperor's mental tricks, just seeking truth from facts, a person is too much to pursue his own fame in front of and behind him, then he will be tied up when he is on an errand, and he can't devote himself to his work, thinking about the name of the villagers, conniving at the robbery of Jinling, thinking about the name of the loyal minister, and wanting to disband the Hunan army, thinking about the name of the virtuous, joining the military aircraft, but rarely innovating and doing things, almost no achievements." Of course, I can't criticize a meritorious hero, but you should also understand, I don't hide it from you, I asked him to come to the military aircraft department, just to share the power of Prince Gong, but unfortunately, he understands my mind, but he is unwilling to do it, in the final analysis, it is because he cares too much about this reputation. ”
The Empress Dowager Cixi spoke eloquently, pointing out the world's masters, and what she said was obviously sincere, "Zuo Zongtang is different, he understands what I mean, he dares to act boldly in the military aircraft, and he does things on errands, and he will not take into account the thoughts of any of his own children and grandchildren, and he does not bother to do anything to buy a family business." He also wants fame, but what he wants is the reputation of being famous for a hundred generations, holding the central authority, and making all the achievements, so I value him so much, although he is old, but I also gave him all the authority and all the resources, in order to let him achieve the reputation he has always wanted to achieve in the last years! ”
"And you Li Shaoquan," the Empress Dowager Cixi said slowly, "Everything else is very good, but this selfishness is too heavy." (To be continued.) )
