When seeing off Huang Shaoji, Lu Hong saw the little girl with a strange smile on her face, and immediately pinched her nose with a quick movement and made a strange face. She immediately stunned the little girl. But after a while, she showed a row of teeth and two cute dimples. She looked back and smiled and shook her head away.

As a result, Lu Hong, who had been in the Huang Mansion for a day, did nothing on that day except carefully drawing several drawings of the first-level collection system. Huang Tifang returned home very late that night and called Lu Hong over again.

When he arrived at the main hall, Lu Hong immediately found that Huang Tifang seemed to be exhausted. Could it be that the forgery he provided had made some mistakes? He had been thinking about the thing repeatedly. He also found a professional newspaper in Tianjin to find a professional newspaper office to complete the original manuscript. Moreover, after the remake, it was even more difficult to determine the authenticity, and it should be impossible to have a problem!

He immediately started to inquire, "Mr. Huang, are the photos I gave you yesterday useful?"

Huang Tifang waved at Lu Hong, pointed to the position next to him, signaling him to sit down, and then said: "Nephew Lu, the difficulty of this matter is beyond my expectations. I gave Li Lansun (Li Hongzao) to see the content. The translator of the Military Affairs Office also translated the content properly. The Japanese ambition is indeed obvious... Lord Li also thinks that we must deal with it carefully... just..."

He looked up at Lu Hong, but the young man in front of him was beyond his expectations of calm, which made him feel a little more praise. When ordinary people heard this, they could not wait to ask questions, "But, Lord Li and I went to see Lord Weng, but we couldn't convince him!"

Weng Tonghe's eyesight is so poor? This result made Lu Hong inexplicably. If the evidence he forged and the deduction made by Huang Tifang still couldn't see that the Japanese were trying hard to start a war, then there would be something wrong with his head... The problem is, isn't this old man the top scholar? Is the top scholar's head all made of elm?

He thought about it and seemed that he had to take action himself. "Mr. Huang, it seems that these evidences are still lacking. However, this matter is related to the country, so how can I give up halfway... I drafted a copy last night, which is some military situations I learned about when I was studying in Thailand and after returning to China... There are also some improvement measures. If possible, can you please send me the message to Master Weng on your behalf!"

"Improved the army..." Huang Tifang was shocked when he heard Lu Hong's words. This is not a small proposition, and this topic is very sensitive in today's courts. Except for the Eight Banners Army, which is less than 300,000, most of the others were trained by the Huai Army. The most criticized by Qingliu is undoubtedly the practice of the Huai Army holding troops and respecting themselves!

He took the copy from Lu Hong with doubts. After reading a few words, Huang Tifang smiled and said, "Nephew Lu, this seems not your writing style!"

After looking at a few more lines, the expression on his face became more and more serious. He looked at a few more questions and asked Lu Hong a few more questions. The two of them talked about it until late at night. After asking Lu Hong to rest first, Huang Tifang took the copywriting in the main hall and read it several times, until the sound of footsteps came outside. As soon as the wooden door opened, Huang Shaoning came in with the ginseng soup.

"Shaoning, go and have a rest early..." Huang Tifang patted the copywriting in his hand and suddenly asked, "What do you think of Lu Hong?"

There were some questions asked about this. The little girl's hand was pouring ginseng soup. She looked back at the old man who was still staring at the copywriting and thoughtful. Then she felt that she was too much attentive. She couldn't help but smile, and two red clouds flew on her face. She couldn't help but feel strange thoughts that Lu Hong did in Baitian...

"Young Master Lu... He is such a strange and interesting person!" The little girl smiled without hesitation.

When Huang Tifang heard the little girl say this, she was stunned. After thinking about it for a while, she slapped her head. She also thought too much about this matter... Since Lu Hong has other good plans, let him give it a try!

Today, when Li Hongzao went to see Lord Weng and presented those evidences, both of them insisted that they immediately question the Japanese minister Xiaomura on this matter. It would be better to put pressure on Japan through the British and French people to force Japan to make a clear statement!

After reading these evidences, Weng Tonghe listened to Huang Tifang's explanation, he pondered for a while, frowned and said something like the abominable heart of the Japanese wolf. However, to their surprise, this important minister who held the military power of the entire empire, after considering it, said something they did not expect to both of them.

"Lansun, Shulan, Li Hongzhang yelled about coastal defense all day long, and the navy that spent more than 20 million taels of silver had never fought. Now, there is a naval army in Beiyang, and it is in full swing. The Japanese make some noise, which is just right for Li Hongzhang to show off his skills!"

Huang Tifang and Li Hongzao were both shocked and hurriedly tried to defend themselves. This war was not an ordinary trivial matter and must not start the war easily. Moreover, the Beiyang Navy has not purchased a new ship for seven years, so it may not be able to control the Japanese during the war.

As a result, Weng Tonghe immediately expressed his attitude, "Lansun, Shulan, Li Hongzhang is in power, I was just about to let him go to the battlefield to try it out, to see if he is a mule or a horse, there will be room for rectification in the future!"

As soon as the Qingliu boss spoke, Huang Tifang and Li Hongzao were speechless, and they each found some reasons, but they could not change any of this for Lord Weng. Anyway, this person didn't care what the Japanese meant, and if they wanted to fight, they would let their mortal rival Li Hongzhang come on.

Weng Tonghe listened to Huang Tifang and Li Hongzao's meaning. According to the current situation, there is really little chance of defeating Luo. Weng Tonghe understood that the cunning Li Hongzhang would not understand that he would not understand that he would not win or lose a small battle. He could take the opportunity to make this old opponent look ugly!

This important minister who held the authority of the empire had never worried about anything big. Greater China had millions of troops, the Beiyang Navy, which was also the number one in Asia recognized by all countries in Thailand. These things on the surface, plus the navy and military training over the years, and the reports were all whitewashed. His high-ranking man was quite sure.

The next morning, Huang Tifang left the house early, but Lu Hong and Qin Tianmin waited in the Huang family's mansion for a day, but there was no news. After Huang Tifang came back in the evening, he just asked him to wait, saying that the copywriting had been read by Li Hongzao, and he thought it was indeed a good plan.

Lu Hong obviously overestimated the efficiency of the Qing Empire's court. Taking advantage of this moment, he asked Qin Tianmin to wait for news in the mansion. When there was news, Dongjiaomin Lane looked for him.

At the Longsheng Teahouse under the Xipailou, there were about a dozen middle-aged men wearing long gowns and jackets, three or two, or one or two of them sitting around the tea circle, ordering three or five plates of snacks, one or two types of snacks, and putting their heads together and murmured in a low voice. This is the current situation of foreign compradors in the capital in the prosperous times.

Since there is no so-called industry in Beijing, the main business of these compradors is to introduce foreign companies for the yamen and dignitaries. Once the introduction is successful, they can get a reward. Fortunately, under the appearance of the "Tongguang Prosperity" for 30 years, although the donation of taxes in Lijin killed the national industry, for foreign goods that only need to pay 5% tariffs and 2% tariffs, it has indeed created a prosperous economy, which has long since made this new profession in Beijing.

Later, a young man in a robe appeared at the entrance of the teahouse. The waiter hurriedly came forward to greet him, "This man, the spring rolls of the small shop and the ma tuan are signature snacks. Do you want to have a serving? There is also a newly launched West Lake Longjing. I'll give you a pot to taste it, okay?"

Lu Hong, who had just walked into the teahouse, was somewhat suspicious of the news he had inquired earlier. He pointed to a table beside him beside him, reached out to take out a piece of Yingyang and waved it in front of the guy, "Waiter, just do it two things. I have two words to ask you, I can explain it clearly, this is yours!"

When the guy looked at it, he knew that he had met the God of Wealth this morning. He couldn't use 300 pm for a day for a teahouse. After all, they were all tea and snacks. He greeted Lu Hong with a smile on his face, "My master, I can talk about the things around Dongjiaomin Lane, but it's hard to do anything else!"

"I heard that the compradors of foreign companies are often waiting for customers in your teahouses, but I wonder if it is?"

The guy was happy as soon as he heard this. The question was too simple. He nodded and said, then turned his head and pointed to the group of old and young men who were muttering and talking on the other side, "That master, aren't those? Why don't I introduce you to you? Behind the west window, the one wearing a blue jacket is Chen Hefeng. He is familiar with the French foreign business. The fat man behind him is wearing a light jacket. It is Wang Chaocheng. He specializes in Japanese business..."

Lu Hong listened carefully to the guy's introduction, put the piece of Yingyang in his hand, then took out another piece of Yingyang and whispered: "My man, let's talk to me again. Those compradors have a good reputation here. When I confirm, this piece of Yingyang is also yours!"

The guy was so happy that he rubbed his hands. Today he was lucky. He was a rich man. He hurriedly introduced him. Later, Lu Hong found Sima Qi, a comprador sitting alone in the corner of the wall, wearing a felt hat on his head.

"Your name is Sima Qi? I have a trade and want to ask foreigners for a market situation!" Lu Hong asked for directions straightforwardly.

This man in his thirties had a clean face shaved. It was not common in this era when he liked to have a beard to show elegance. A braid was also wrapped in a hat. He seemed to have paid attention to Lu Hong. When he saw that the business came to his house, he smiled slightly, "I am Sima Qi, the guest's surname?"

"My surname is Lu. The guy I asked just now, they think you are okay!" After Lu Hong finished speaking, he stared at the man opposite him. He always felt that this guy was a little strange.

Sima Qi suddenly laughed, laughing very strangely, "Mr. Lu, I saw you give me the reward of money, but you may not know. I told the customer that he introduced the transaction to me, and I gave him a reward of 2 taels of silver, so you will be opposite me!"
