Chapter 55 Bargaining with the Emperor 1

While the little emperor and Eunuch Liang were counting the banknotes one by one in the palace, Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) couldn't help but sneeze a few times on the way back to Fuguihou Mansion.

"nnd, who is thinking about me?"'

It is late at night now, the best time in the capital in midsummer, neither cold nor hot.

Only in the carriage, Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) dared to hold his "little house boy" Daiyu in his arms.

This Sister Lin is made of water and is the best perfume. It is soft and sweet everywhere.

"Why do you hug this sister Lin without any selfish thoughts? She just wants to hug and be together forever. Even a look in her eyes makes people intoxicated... But why is she so lustful when she is with Baochai?

Do you want to move her and want to put her to death right away? Oh my god, it’s not like Daiyu represents spiritual love, while Baochai represents physical desire?... I really want time to stand still and keep going like this.

Go down..."

The carriages meandered on the street, as if even the horses knew their thoughts, stopping and going, stopping and going.

After finally arriving at the mansion, I saw a carriage parked outside the gate. Who was this? It was already past midnight, and they were still waiting here.

Seeing Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi)'s carriage arriving at the door, a slender man in gray robe stepped out of the carriage.

It's Li Guangdi.

"Finally, I meet Mr. Xiao Jia." Li Guangdi cupped his hands and said.

"Master Li, I haven't seen you for a long time. I miss you very much. You want to set an example for the entire court of patriotism, love of the people, diligence and thrift in housekeeping. Look at your robe. Not to mention it is dirty, and there are two holes in it. You

It’s been a few days since you shaved and showered? Do you want to imitate Master Wang Anshi?”

"Master Xiao Jia is joking."

"I'm really not joking. You are my best friend. It's too late for me to care about you. Mingyan, come here and give Mr. Li 10% of the shares in the Beijing Brewing Company. You are the teacher of Brother Nalan

, that is, my teacher..."

"No, really no need."

"I know what you mean. You are now transferred from a local area to the Emperor's newly established 'Military and Administrative Office'. You are a good official. While everyone is stifling their consciences to make money, you are doing things for the people of the world. You are not making money.

That's why I'm so embarrassed. How can I let such a good official suffer from poverty? Don't worry, these shares only have some fixed monthly dividends, and there is not much money, which can be used to subsidize the family. Besides, I am not alone

What can a dignified first-grade general do with you, a fourth-grade clerk who has just been transferred to the Military and Administrative Office? He won’t blindly inquire about information from the Military and Administrative Office. Your information may not be better than mine. Don’t forget, I am still

The real power figure in the 'Tianwei Camp' - Deputy Governor, are you as well-informed as me?"

Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi)'s exaggerated performance made Li Guangdi amused.

"Why... you must have a lot of experience during your time in Northeast China, right? You must have something to tell me when you come here."

Baoyu (Burning) accompanied Li Guangdi to the house and asked.

"The biggest problem in the Northeast is not war, but people's livelihood. They are guarding the fertile and oily black land, but most people don't want to grow crops well, but want to get something without working. Men and women are the same."

"So, there are many beards in the Northeast, and they also collude with red-haired ghosts from abroad, including bandits, especially in the border areas of Heilongjiang."

"When I was the magistrate of Heilongjiang in the far north, banditry was incessant, so I thought that all these people should be moved to the interior. Only in this way can we eliminate the bandit family."

"Master Li, if you have this understanding, I may have to take back the shares of the Beijing Liquor Store that I gave you. Good people, let local officials manage it like this... Have you ever considered why these people want to be

Bandits? It’s not because the government forced the people to rebel. Look, this is the resume of all the officials sent to the Northeast over the years. They are all bullshit literati who talk a lot and lose their books. There is not a single technical officer. When such officials arrive, they can only talk a few words.

Apart from the truth, what else can you do? Tell me?"

"Master Xiao Jia..."

"Including you. Do you know how to grow mulberry trees? Do you know what black soil is most suitable for? Do you know the rich mineral resources in the fertile Northeast? Do you know how to lead people to get rich? You don't know anything.

, planting crops is no good; mining and industry are no good; even doing business is nonsense. Tell me, can the people in the Northeast who hope to live a good life not become bandits? Can they not become bandits? "

"This is your opinion, Mr. Xiao Jia."

"What I want to say is that the Northeast is a good place, but we ourselves have managed it in a mess. We should look for the reasons from our own officials."

"I have been taught a lesson. After listening to Mr. Xiao Jia's words, I suddenly became enlightened."

After drinking tea, after Lord Li Guangdi left, Daiyu asked: "Did you speak too harshly to Lord Li just now?"

"It's not awesome. He is here on behalf of the Empress Dowager and the Young Emperor. The Empress Dowager and the Young Emperor need an accurate opinion. Mr. Li knows it and I know it too, so he won't be angry because of what I just said."

An hour after Li Guangdi left, in the Yangxin Hall of the palace, Kangxi was holding a stack of recording papers and shouting, "This is the key point. The officials we put here are what Master Xiao Jia said.

How can such officials manage the place well? The Northeast is the rear area of ​​the Qing Dynasty, and I must make it the real rear base. It seems that I made the right bet. I can turn the northwest, which has no hair on it, into the south of the Yangtze River.

Can't we turn the Northeast into a warehouse of fish and rice? Let Li Guangdi enter the palace."

Li Guangdi had been waiting outside the palace. As soon as he heard the emperor's announcement, he immediately followed the eunuch into the palace.

The lights in the Yangxin Hall were brightly lit, and the little emperor was still excited.

The monarch and his ministers murmured for an hour before they dispersed.

At this time, Lord Jia's study room was also brightly lit, and all the big guys from the "Tianwei Camp" were there. They muttered for more than an hour before leaving.

On the other hand, Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) sent Li Guangdi away, and he fell into bed regardless and went to sleep.

I slept for eight hours, and it was already noon when I got up.

When I got up, I saw Xi and Qingwen standing next to the bed, looking at me longingly.

Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) stretched a long way and said, "Don't look at me with that look. If you want to follow me to the Northeast this time, there's no chance."

Both beauties looked disappointed.

Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) got out of bed, hugged the two beautiful maids gently, and whispered in their ears: "When I come back, I will kill you."

This was the language between them. After listening to it, the two beautiful maids blushed to the bottom of their ears.

Hahahaha, Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) walked out of the bedroom quickly, as he had to attend a military and political meeting in the afternoon.

(At the military and political meeting, what kind of conditions Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) will put forward, please see the breakdown in the next round.)
