[It’s not clear yet, so I’ll give you a thumbs up for half a chapter today, and I’ll update it as normal tomorrow, and then make up for it according to my ability.]

Noon the next day.

Mei Guangyan groaned and turned over from the bed to sit up. He raised his hand and pressed his fingers on his twitching temples. He calmed down for a while before saying in a hoarse voice: "Someone is here, someone is here."

"coming!"

A little maid immediately responded outside, and soon she came in through the curtain. She pulled off her coat and wrapped it around Mei Guangyan, saying at the same time: "Master finally woke up. You kept vomiting green water in the middle of the night last night, but...

It scared us."

"Um?"

Mei Guangyan raised his arms, put his gloves into his sleeves, and asked blankly: "Why am I at home?"

"You forgot?"

The maid's eyes widened: "You met Mr. Jiao when you returned to the Yamen yesterday, and then you got very drunk. In the end, Mr. Jiao personally sent you back."

"Yeah?"

Mei Guangyan lightly hit his forehead, recalling that something like this happened. He seemed to have bumped into Jiao Shun near the engineering school, and for some reason he dragged him to the newspaper office to have a drink. What happened next?

I really can't remember.

At this time, I heard the maid say: "If you don't believe me, ask the young master. The young master received Mr. Jiao personally, because Mr. Jiao was also very drunk and left him in the guest house all night. This morning

Just left."

Mei Guangyan remembered that the last time Jiao Shun came to express his condolences, his son had tried every means to please him, and even got a job to prepare for the construction of an engineering branch. She didn't find it strange that Mei Baosen took the initiative to stay as a guest this time.

.

But he was still quite dissatisfied with his son's spineless behavior: "Spineless guy, he doesn't know how to pay attention to his studies, but he is thinking about these crooked ways!"

As he said this, he secretly decided that he could not let the unfilial son delay any longer, and would let him carry his spirit south early tomorrow morning!

Immediately, Mei Guangyan thought of something again and asked, "Where's my wife? Why did I spend the night in Liu's house again?"

"My wife fell when she was helping you back to the house yesterday. She seemed to have hurt her waist and couldn't walk anymore, so she sent you to this house."

As the maid was talking, Aunt Liu came in with a cup of sobering soup and was busy waiting for Mei Guangyan to get up.

After finishing the sobering soup and eating two things that were good for digestion, Mei Guangyan became more awake. She chewed the mung bean cake in her mouth and thought to herself: What she had guessed before was indeed right. Jiao Shun must have seen through it.

He had realized his 'real mission', so he tried to win over him again and again.

Hum~

I really wanted to blind him!

Mei, with the blue sky above her head and a proud body, can she be won over by just a few meals of meat and wine?

But you might as well give it a try first, and when you catch the thief, you can eliminate this scourge for the world's scholars!

Thinking of the bile he vomited yesterday, Mei Guangyan had the illusion of "sleeping on the fire to eat the bile". He thought that since he was going to pretend, he had to pretend to the end, so he didn't even eat lunch, so he put on a green official robe again and hurriedly

I rushed to study engineering.

…………

at the same time.

In the Sifang Pavilion, Jiao Shun was also leading Liu Changyou, who was accompanying him, to have dinner in the side hall.

Due to the verbal bickering all morning, neither of them was interested in talking at the moment. After finishing their lunch, they leaned on the back of their chairs and wandered around to recharge their batteries.

Yesterday, thanks to the "filial son and virtuous grandson" of the Mei family, he successfully obtained the extra material - Mapleson not only helped thread the needle, but also came up with an excuse for his mother to pretend to have a sprain. Otherwise, Mrs. Mei may not be able to explain today.

of the past.

However, this filial son and grandson will be leaving south in two days, and it will not be so easy to continue writing a new chapter.

Why don't you add the sentence "end of the text" at the end of the article to prevent the emperor from asking further questions?

Alas~

It’s really not easy to write with your body.

"grown ups."

Just when he was thinking about something, Liu Changyou, who was beside him, had enough energy and took the initiative to come over and ask: "This poisonous countryman has been running around to contact us for a long time. Our Ministry of Industry does not know that it is excusable, but the Sifang Pavilion is guarding

How could they not have heard any news in advance? But they turned a blind eye and waited until the matter got serious before notifying us. This is obviously a bad person!"

"This is called relying on foreign countries to respect yourself."

Jiao Shun closed his eyes and sneered: "Maybe there are people who are poisonous in the body, and maybe they are instigating it behind the scenes."

"That……"

Liu Changyou's old face became more and more gloomy. He looked around and saw no one around, then lowered his voice and said: "How should we deal with it? It doesn't matter whether it's from Nanyang or the West. The southwest countries and three Koreas, Fusang was originally our vassal country of Daxia

, I used to often send people to study abroad..."

"Why do you think so much?"

Jiao Shun waved his hand and interrupted Liu Changyou: "Let's argue with them first. I will follow you this time, and next time you will do it by yourself. You only killed the military plane involved in the incident. Don't say much else - Suan Ding, others."

No, I’m very good at taking quotes out of context and grabbing people’s attention!”

To be honest, Jiao Shun still hasn't figured out what the purpose of Sifangguan's event is.

You must know that no matter what the final result is, Sifangguan officials will not be able to escape the crime of dereliction of duty. However, apart from being disgusting, this matter does not see any benefit for the time being - of course, he is not a guy who likes to harm others without benefiting himself.

No.

So Jiao Shun chose to delay and wait for change. Anyway, this was not the time of the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, where first-class foreigners and second-class officials were important. Now if you want to rely on foreigners to gain self-respect, you have to first see if the court agrees.

"this……"

Liu Changyou was obviously a little reluctant. He was just doing other errands. He was quarreling with scholars. He was serious and lacked confidence.

"rest assured."

Jiao Shun reached out and patted his shoulder and said, "I really can't stand it. I have some back-ups here."

His so-called last resort was to resell arms.

The body poisons spread all over the place, and all the countries responded, saying that they were going to work as a work-study student. Wasn't the real purpose of coming here just to get Daxia's firearms?

Anyway, Jiao Shun didn't believe that there were poisonous people these days who could understand the principles of industrial power, and yet they came to Sijiu City.

The previous suggestion made to the emperor has not yet been implemented - the Longyuan Type 1 has not yet been mass-produced - so it has not been disclosed to the outside world for the time being. If the Ministry of Rites succeeds in relying on foreigners to rely on self-importance, the worst thing is that it will be lost in advance.

It's just this meaty bone.

Presumably, having obtained Daxia's promise to sell "active" firearms, most of the relevant countries should have stopped. Even if one or two insist on selling something inferior to making, it will not be possible in the end.

Jiao Shun was confident, so he thought that before the people from the Sifang Pavilion came, he would leave Liu Changyou to take care of business while he went back to the Yamen to take care of the business - he had held a meeting in response to the commotion among the water delivery workers.

The proposal for a press conference was finally approved recently and is scheduled to be held on the fifth day of this month.

Because it was the first time that he had ever done so, everyone in the yamen looked at him with disdain, so he must have personally arranged the arrangements to avoid being found out.

However, when he was about to apply oil on his soles, an angel suddenly came to the Sifang Pavilion and said that he was summoned to the palace immediately for an audience by Emperor Longyuan.
