Zeng Guofan and Qiao Zhiqing went out after saying a word of affection, Qiao Zhiqing sorted out two side rooms for him and Zeng Jiyun early in the morning, and after sending the two of them over to settle down, he went back to the study alone.Yan Yuting saw that after Zeng Guofan's father and daughter left, she didn't know where she came from, and waited for Qiao Zhiqing in the study with a bitter face."
Miss Yan, where have you been all day" After Qiao Zhiqing entered the door, he saw Yan Yuting sitting on the couch with a small face.I couldn't help but chuckle and pat her little head, and sat down at the desk."
Your father-in-law is inspecting his son-in-law, what kind of fun will I follow."
Yan Yuting spit out sullenly."
Okay, don't be angry, do you have any news to tell me" Qiao Zhiqing smiled bitterly, and looked through the official document on the table as he spoke."
There is news from Shanxi, and the people of Huaxing League have now occupied the four county towns of Yangqu, Gujiao, Qingxu, and Shouyang, and besieged Taiyuan Mansion.Your officers and soldiers in Shanxi really don't fight, and they can toss such a big movement even by relying on those green forest heroes of the Huaxing League. ”Yan Yuting let out a long breath, took out the information from her arms and handed it to Qiao Zhiqing.At this time, it is almost summer, and the temperature in Suzhou is slowly rising.Yan Yuting changed into her favorite corset cheongsam again, although she was separated by a layer of clothes, Qiao Zhiqing still clearly felt the youthful vitality wrapped under the cheongsam.stared at Yan Yuting for a while, and only came back to her senses after Yan Yuting put the letter on the table."
Shanxi has not experienced any strong winds and waves over the years, it is normal for the armament to be lax, don't forget that we have sent thousands of foreign guns to the people of the Huaxing League, even if they are loosely organized, it is more than enough to attack a county seat, but I don't know if it will work for Taiyuan Mansion."
Qiao Zhiqing muttered to himself while looking at the secret letter."
Don't worry, the Huaxing League in Taiyuan Mansion has already done a good job of internal response, and there should be no problem with the combination of inside and outside."
Yan Yuting relieved Qiao Zhiqing, pouted and warned him, "Brother Qiao, let's all say it, you have to marry me first, even if Zeng Guofan agrees to marry his daughter to you, then I will pass the door one day earlier than her." ”"I know, I haven't talked to Miss Zeng's eight sons yet, what are you talking about.It's not too early, go back to bed, I'll be busy for a while. ”Qiao Zhiqing chuckled and ordered, and the little girl finally pouted and snorted, twisting her ass and going out.After dawn, Qiao Zhiqing got up early in the morning.Su Sanniang is eight months pregnant, and her belly is getting more and more bulging.In order not to affect her rest, Qiao Zhiqing lived alone in the study.After Ling'er and Hui'er waited for him to wash and change clothes, they went to school happily.These two little girls are changing their appearance almost every day, and I don't know if they have begun to develop during puberty, and their breasts are getting bigger and bigger day by day.Since going to school, people have become more clever and have begun to speak in the first place.After Qiao Zhiqing went out, he went directly to Zeng Guofan's wing.The father and daughter also got up early in the morning, and Qiao Zhiqing had already practiced in the courtyard when he passed.After resting all night, the two of them are obviously much more energetic than yesterday."
Adults early, young ladies early."
Qiao Zhiqing hugged his fists and said hello after entering the door."
Brother Qiao, it's early."
Zeng Jiyun stood behind Zeng Guofan and said hello to Qiao Zhiqing with a big grin.Zeng Guofan squinted at this unpromising girl, and asked Qiao Zhiqing with a calm face, "Where are you going to take the old man to Suzhou today?"
"Actually, there is nothing special about the new policy in Suzhou, which can be summed up in two words, that is, heavy business."
The adults and ladies go around the street with their subordinates, and you can feel the location of Suzhou's new policy. ”Qiao Zhiqing replied easily."
What a merchant, we have been scholars, farmers, industrialists, and merchants in China for thousands of years, and the merchants are at the bottom, the old man will see how you value commerce today."
Zeng Guofan sighed quietly, asked Qiao Zhiqing to prepare the carriage, and took Zeng Jiyun out of the house together.After more than a year of development, Suzhou's industrial and commercial prosperity has long surpassed that of Shanghai at this time.Going out from the government is a widened stone official road, the official road sidewalk and roadway are evenly divided, and the newly transplanted willow trees on both sides are densely shaded, and there is a feeling of relaxation and pleasure when you walk on it.Zeng Guofan and Zeng Jiyun traveled to Suzhou at night, and they did not notice these changes along the way.As soon as the two of them followed Qiao Zhiqing out of the gate of the mansion, they both had shocked looks on their faces."
Brother Qiao, the last time I came, this official road was not so wide, how did it become like this now, it is so beautiful."
Yan Yuting jumped and jumped in surprise on the official road, looking at the scene in front of her, as if in a dream.Qiao Zhiqing was originally going to pave all the roads in the city with asphalt, but since Xu Shou saw the asphalt roads of foreigners in the mountains and seas, he studied day and night, and refined the asphalt from the oil.More than once, Qiao Zhiqing suggested that the roads in Suzhou should be replanned and paved with asphalt.But Qiao Zhiqing didn't want to destroy this beautiful landscape city, so he insisted on widening the road with bluestone slabs.Two stone chairs are set up every 100 meters on the road for passers-by to rest.Walking on it in the spring is like wandering in the park in the future, which is very pleasant.On both sides of the official road, close to the government office, are low-rent housing communities built by Qiao Zhiqing in the city.Each community is planned to be angular and angular, and the rent is very cheap, only about one or two per month.In the past year, the city of Suzhou has received millions of immigrants, and at least half a million people have gathered in the city, engaged in different jobs.The textile factory, garment factory, match factory, paper factory, and tobacco factory, which is a joint venture with Qiao Zhiqing, can accommodate hundreds of thousands of workers.Not to mention the government-run ordnance institutes, shipyards and other factories and mining enterprises, the number of workers accommodated is even more staggering.At this time, the number of pedestrians on the road has gradually increased, and the people get up early and start the busy day.The small vendors selling breakfast on both sides of the street have also set up tables, chairs and benches in the planned lots, and the cries of selling are coming and going.Qiao Zhiqing took Zeng Guofan's father and daughter to sit down at a stall of Wang's tofu brain, and ordered a bowl for each of the three of them, plus six fritters.Qiao Zhiqing is a frequent visitor here, and the boss greeted him as soon as he came.He naturally didn't know Qiao Zhiqing's identity, and began to see him wearing the military uniform of the Qingzi Army, and he was a little restrained and afraid, and he shouted one uncle after another.Later, I got acquainted with Qiao Zhiqing, and seeing that he didn't have a fight, after chatting with Qiao Zhiqing a few times, he also changed his name to Brother Qiao, and Qiao Zhiqing was happy to call him that.The boss's name is Wang Jinsuo, and his family fled from Henan half a year ago.The ancestor still left such a little craftsmanship, and after registering with the government office, he rented a stall on the side of the street.Because the people of Suzhou are open, the streets are full of women.Wang Jinsuo was also relieved to let his wife come over to help, you must know that women were not allowed to leave the house before."
Brother Qiao, what have you been busy with lately, I haven't seen you for a few days."
Wang Jinsuo personally brought up three bowls of tofu brains, and after setting them up in front of the three of them, he greeted Qiao Zhiqing."
Brother Qiao, you are commensurate with Brother Qiao" Zeng Jiyun looked at Wang Jinsuo, who was covered in oil, and his face wrinkled, and Zeng Guofan beside him also frowned with a look of surprise."
Yes, is there any problem" Wang Jinsuo looked at Zeng Jiyun puzzled."
He's your governor" Before Zeng Jiyun could say anything, Qiao Zhiqing hurriedly mistook her mouth."
Brother Wang, you go down and get busy, just let me greet you here."
Qiao Zhiqing glared at Zeng Jiyun, turned around and commanded Wang Jinsuo."
Okay then, you guys use it slowly, don't worry about what you lack."
Wang Jinsuo didn't understand what Zeng Jiyun said, so he smiled honestly and turned around and went back to work."
Brother Qiao, you really don't have a fight, and you can be called brothers and sisters with these peddlers and pawns."
Zeng Jiyun opened his mouth and chuckled while drinking tofu."
Zhiqing, heaven, earth, king, family, teacher, do you still have these things in your eyes" Zeng Guofan asked Qiao Zhiqing with a dissatisfied face, there were too many things that surprised him along the way, and even many big girls were dressed up in fancy clothes early in the morning and wandered around the street, dressed the same as Qiao Zhiqing, and I don't know where they all learned."
My lord, my subordinates all know what you mean.But have you ever thought about it, each of us is raised by our parents, why do we have to distinguish between high and low, why do some people stand tall and low, and some people have to be trampled underfoot" Qiao Zhiqing looked up at his handsome face with a smile and asked Zeng Guofan seriously."
According to your meaning, everyone is in the same position, so how can this country be governed, if there is no courtesy, dignity, where to put the majesty of the monarch, and how to educate and educate people, these people are not against the sky."
Zeng Guofan slapped the chopsticks in his hand on the table, and felt a burst of panic at Qiao Zhiqing's thoughts, this young man was even more unruly than the long-haired thief, maybe he was here to break the rules."
My lord, we still don't talk about business today, and after breakfast, we have to keep the mood to continue the investigation."
Qiao Zhiqing smiled, and he didn't expect to overturn the old antique in front of him all at once."
Father, what are you doing, why are you angry?"
Zeng Jiyun also hurriedly pulled his father's sleeve on the side, looked at the eyes of the customer next to him, and blushed embarrassedly."
Good, good, good.Before he got married, his elbow turned out.Eat, the old man has a small belly, and he has already eaten enough. ”Zeng Guofan glared at Zeng Jiyun, took a deep breath, and stood up.Qiao Zhiqing smiled at Zeng Jiyun, and whispered in her ear, "Your father's temper is really big, you can help me persuade him later." ”Zeng Jiyun looked at Qiao Zhiqing with a smile and stuck out his tongue.After the three of them had eaten, Zeng Jiyun clamored to go to the clothing store on the street, she and Zeng Jijing came here to play once last time, and she couldn't put down the clothes inside.Now looking at the beautiful clothes of the young woman on the street, Zeng Jiyun can't wait to wear it on herself immediately
