[The new week is beginning. I'm eager to ask for your brothers' recommendation and support. Thank you. If you have tickets, please help me to make a few more ~~~]

At the end of February, Lu Hong visited the magistrate of Wu County again and proposed to leave Mengyin for a while to Haizhou and make a walk in Tianjin. After Wu Daqiu heard this, he felt quite reluctant to leave. The production of Mengyin Coal Mine in the past month has brought him many benefits. The industries established by coal mines, stone factories, etc. have absorbed a large amount of idle labor in the county town, and the beggars in the entire county town were almost wiped out. This is all Lu Hong's credit.

Nowadays, Mengyin's industrial development is stable. With the auxiliary role of Mengyin Machinery Club, there is indeed little chance to ask Lu Hong to take action. After some discussion, he had heard Lu Hong say that he had the intention of becoming an official, so he wrote a letter of recommendation to give it to him. Lu Hong didn't take it seriously at first. After accepting it, he saw that the yellow envelope was written with the words "Weng Tong and the old man in person" and the signature was "The disciple Wu Daqiu paused his head."

This made Lu Hong's head short. Wu Daqiu's long horse face looked really unpopular. Unexpectedly, he had a lot of ways in the official road. He had an old relationship with the governor Li Bingheng this time. This time, he was even better. He was the imperial teacher and the disciple of Weng Tonghe, the chief military minister... However, this Lord Weng thought it was really difficult for him to speak to this great man. This person has too many positive and negative comments in the history he knew!

However, Lu Hong immediately accepted the letter very sincerely. Why do you have more ways to go? He has just entered this turbulent era and must not let go of any opportunity.

When he said goodbye, he saw Wu Shengxi wandering over with the book in his hand, "Brother Lu, I heard that you are going to Haizhou and Tianjin. I am just about to go to Beijing to take the exam. Why not go all the way?"

After hearing what Wu Shengxi said, Lu Hong remembered some things. In the 1895, Empress Dowager Cixi held a special examination for the 60th birthday of the 1990s. However, Wu Shengxi, the famous top scholar, appeared. Wu Shengxi looked full of knowledge, but he didn't know if he had ever been on the list in history. However, after contact with him during this period, he was quite interested in this juren who held books all day long, and Wu Shengxi was also very interested in the industry that Lu Hong fiddled with all day long.

"Sheng Xi, that's good. I'll arrange it to sail together at that time!" Wu Daqiu had some ideas, and it would be beneficial to take Wu Shengxi, so Lu Hong naturally responded. The two chatted for a while before they broke up.

Afterwards, Lu Hong and Qin Tianmin went to Feixian. However, what made Lu Hong a little anxious was that the first-level resource collection system did not find any particularly rich minerals in Feixian. After careful investigation, he found two small coal mines in Chaibuzhuang and Wanyao. Qin Tianmin immediately followed the county government's way, and his younger brother Qin Xiaocheng came out to run the coal mine. However, both coal mines were not open-pit mines. In addition to providing M1 type mineral processing machines, the super industrial system also provided a type of water conservancy ventilation duct, which could also achieve the effect of supplying air and exhausting the mine pit.

As for the subsequent sales issues, Mengyin has learned from the past, Qin Xiaocheng didn't need Lu Hong to come up with ideas, and soon reached a secret agreement with Mengyin Qian Yiduo, and the refined coal they produced was easily sent to Haizhou... The reason for this is actually very simple. Mengyin's output cannot meet the needs of Haizhou Port at all, and the cooperation between the two parties is obviously a win-win result.

Ten days later, when Lu Hong returned to Mengyin to get some luggage and prepare for a trip, Wu Shengxi hurried over and said that Wu Daqiu was entertaining distinguished guests and asked him to go to the yamen as soon as possible. This made Lu Hong, who was preparing for a trip, quite curious...

"Sheng Xi, who is the person here? Lord Wu looks very important!" Lu Hong naturally did not miss the opportunity to gossip first. It is obviously necessary to know yourself and your enemy. Today, Wu Shengxi was still carrying this book in his hand. Lu Hong accidentally glanced at the title of the book, but was also surprised. He was about to come and take a look, but it was "The Dangerous Words of the Prosperous Age" written by Zheng Guanying. He looked over and over again and again. This magnificent work that had a profound impact on this era had already appeared...

Wu Shengxi saw Lu Hong’s strange expression. This book was not easy to write, but it was given to him by a distinguished guest who came today. "Brother Lu, have you seen this book... Today's distinguished guest is Lord Huang Tifang, a famous scholar in Qingliu, from Shandong Xuezheng, a famous scholar in Qingliu!"

When Lu Hong heard this name, he always felt very familiar. When he heard Wu Shengxi's introduction, Huang Tifang was born as a five-jinshi, he immediately remembered that this person was one of the famous "Qingliu Four Advices" in the late Qing Dynasty. He was as famous as Zhang Zhidong, and Zhang Peilun was all famous.

Wu Daqiu's connections should not be underestimated. As a disciple of Qingliu boss Weng Tonghe, he does seem to have a lot of connections with other Qingliu generals, but he doesn't know what to ask him to do? Could it be that he wants to recommend himself... However, Qingliu in this era has mostly historically evaluated it as a person who is not very good, but he doesn't know what kind of person Huang Tifang is!

Lu Hong was full of thoughts all the way. When he arrived at the Houya, he heard the beautiful string music of the ding-dong pipa and the guzheng from the main hall. When he arrived at the main hall, it was beyond his surprise that it was not Wu Daqiu who sat in the upper head, but a little old man with short beards and squinted eyebrows and small eyes.

On the left throne, Wu Daqiu had already seen Lu Hong and his nephew, and waved his hand to signal them to sit opposite him. Today was obviously a private banquet, and there was no one else to accompany him... At this moment, in the main hall, a woman with an elegant expression was sitting upright in front of a guzheng playing with a hearty touch, her hands were agile and graceful figure, and a song of Butterfly Love Flower was even more lingering. This scene made Lu Hong feel quite wonderful, not inferior to the live feeling of later concerts.

Two clanging sounds flew away, and the woman suddenly nodded and saw her wearing a burgundy dress with a dark green gold thread-picking skirt. She was holding a unique hibiscus bun on her black and shiny hair. She was lightly and slowly picked up a bead of flowers. She wore a gold bracelet on her hands, and a maroon embroidered lotus sachet hanging on her yellow streaks on her waist. This made Lu Hong, who had seen more of Mengyin's aunties and aunts, felt a little stunning...

"Okay...Okay...Okay..." Wu Daqiu had already looked wandering and patted the table and shouted loudly! Lu Hong couldn't help but wonder that he had come to the yamen to eat Lao Wu's food once or twice. Among them, there are often singers and dancers who come to play and sing. In comparison, this woman's technique is indeed good, but it doesn't make Lao Wu so crazy! However, this guy's flattery immediately made Lu Hong realize that he had made a mistake.

"Mr. Huang, I haven't heard of this piano skill for more than a year, and it's still as sound as nature!"

Wu Daqiu, who had always been wearing a stern face on weekdays, didn't know if he had drunk too much today, but he kept flattering. The beautiful woman also walked to Huang Tifang and stood sideways and shook hands.

Since the young man Huang Tifang came in, there have been many people. This young man is almost completely different from Wu Shengxi he had met before. Today, since Wu Daqiu attracts him to see him, it can be seen that he is very respectful. He and Wu Daqiu have been familiar with each other in the Qingliu gathering in the capital for many years, so he naturally knows this person's vision...

He looked up and glanced at Lu Hong, and asked with a smile: "Shengqing (Wu Daqiu's name), is this the overseas student Lu Hong you mentioned before?"

Wu Daqiu nodded with a smile. Lu Hong gave a wink when he saw this guy. He immediately understood the meaning. He quickly stood up and bowed to salute him, saying loudly: "My younger generation, Lu Hong, has seen Mr. Huang. He has long heard of the name of the four admonitions of Qingliu in the court. He only saw his true face today!"

He was born in an army and had a generous voice. His answer was very appropriate. Now even the woman named Shao Ning looked at the overseas students with a curious look. Huang Tifang was obviously quite surprised. He smiled and turned his head to look at Wu Daqiu: "Shengqing, I heard you say that Lu Hong actually captured the bandit leader of Mengshan. I was still thinking that this should be such a mighty man... But this young man is really good... not bad..."

Wu Daqiu obviously had a lot of care for him, so he immediately spoke: "This son of Lu Hong is also knowledgeable in Western learning, and has other wonderful theories on Western Affairs. I often talk to him deeply and appreciate it very much. Mr. Huang might as well ask a question!"

When Lu Hong heard Wu Daqiu's words, he was a little more grateful to the old man who had a stern face all day. He really didn't expect that Old Wu would recommend him so enthusiastically. When Huang Tifang heard Wu Daqiu's words, he put down the wine glass he picked up again, and he was also a little surprised... It can be seen that Wu Shengqing valued this young man very much!
