After the Qing court sued for peace with New China, the two sides redrew their borders.The Qing court recognized that Shaanxi was assigned to New China, and New China also promised not to use troops against the Qing court.Qiao Zhiqing never thought of asking the Qing court for any coins and compensation.The wool comes from the sheep, and the people always pay for these things.What is strength, strength is to rob you of your things openly, and you have to happily admit it.The Qing court signed too many peace treaties with foreign countries, and gradually became accustomed to land reparations.Although Shaanxi is strategically located, it is located in the northwest, with barren land and backward economy.Not only can they not pay much tax every year, but they are in drought at every turn, and they need the help of the imperial court.This time the cession of Shaanxi, the imperial court was like getting rid of a big burden, and did not feel much unwilling.I just thought that after Qiao Zhiqing took Shaanxi, he would be able to settle down a little.As long as he doesn't use troops against other places and can stay in the Forbidden City for one more day, then enjoy one more day.The most important thing is that the foreigners have promised to help the Qing court train their soldiers, not only weapons, but also money.If you really train to become a strong soldier, you can still get back what you lost.Qi Junzao took the peace envoy and stayed in Nanjing for half a month.He did not participate in specific peace talks, and in his spare time, he let his son take him around the city of Nanjing.The old man was full of interest, and he had to try anything new he saw.Now that the railway has been laid in Changzhou City, the Ministry of Communications has issued a military order to Qiao Zhiqing.At the end of the year, the Shanghai-Nanjing Railway will be completed in its entirety.Qi Junzao also took the train and went back and forth to Zhenjiang once.The scenery along the way is in full view, and I am full of praise for Jiangnan under Qiao Zhiqing's rule.But there are many things that Qi Junzao can't see, for example, those women who are becoming more and more open, wandering around the street in groups in broad daylight.Each is dressed in fancy clothes, and there are no rules at all.Some men and women even hugged and hugged them on the street, without a little shame.Qi Junzao secretly sighed that the world is declining, and people's hearts are not ancient at the same time.I also have to admit that this open system brings passion and motivation."
Father, I'm going to leave Nanjing tomorrow, and I'm really a little reluctant."
It was getting late, and after Qi Youshen served Qi Junzao to lie down, he was full of reluctance to sigh."
What's wrong, I can't bear the flower world of Nanjing," Qi Junzao asked with a straight face."
Father, the child always feels that the city of Beijing is too dull.Every day, I either listen to music with the young master of the east family, or walk birds with the young master of the west family.As soon as he entered the city of Beijing, the child's heart was very blocked.But Nanjing is different, and every day here is very comfortable.When I open my eyes every day, I feel empowered.There are a lot of young people like me here, and I can tell the joy on their faces. ”Qi Youshen's face was lost for a while, excited for a while, and couldn't suppress the excitement."
Okay, you said so much, do you want to beg me to let you stay in Nanjing" Qi Junzao saw through his son's mind at a glance."
The father is wise, and the child just wants to stay in Huaxing Academy in Nanjing to study, and he doesn't want to go back to Beijing to live a chaotic life."
Qi Youshen hurriedly knelt down for his father, clenched his fists and pleaded."
You, since the first day I came to Nanjing, I have known your little bit of care.Being a father allows you to stay, but there is also a condition for being a father. ”Qi Junzao looked at this son seriously, and found that he was much more mature for a while.When he was in Beijing, this son really gave him a headache.I don't learn all day long, but I just eat, drink and have fun with a group of eunuchs.Now that he has this thought, Qi Junzao is also willing to fulfill it, Nanjing can indeed learn a lot of things."
As long as the father agrees to the child to stay in Nanjing, you can let the child do whatever you want."
Qi Youshen didn't expect his father to be so open-minded this time, so he hurriedly hugged his fists and responded, and his heart was about to jump out with excitement."
Promise to be a father, and never again ask for money from your family.You have to rely on your own skills and support yourself.If you agree to this condition, your father will let you stay in Nanjing. ”Qi Junzao looked at his son seriously, his wife was used to being arrogant to this precious son on weekdays, and she just took this opportunity to hone him.Qi Youshen was stunned, he didn't expect his father to come up with this trick.He has been growing up with clothes to stretch out his hands and food to open his mouth.Now if he doesn't leave a penny for him to stay in Nanjing, he really grasps his weakness."
Father, the child promises you.When I was studying in Nanjing, I would not reach out to my family to ask for a penny. ”Qi Youshen's face was solemn, and he resolutely made up his mind.finally got his stubborn father to agree, he didn't want to give up halfway because of money.What's more, the two most powerful people in New China are both disciples of his father, and if they really can't eat, they can go to them for help."
You kid still have a bit of a backbone, but the ugly words are ahead.Tomorrow, my father will ask Qiao Zhiqing and Qiao Zhiyuan to take care of you, and the care that my father said is that I can't usually give you a penny.Don't think about asking for help from the two of them whenever you have a problem, you can pull down this face, and you can't afford to lose this person as a father. ”Qi Junzao knew this son too well, and blocked his only way back."
Okay, as long as you can stay in Nanjing, everything depends on you."
Qi Youshen hung his head and sighed dejectedly, and after his father closed his eyes, he extinguished the lights in the room and went out softly.On the second day, all the peace talks delegation of the imperial court set off, and before leaving, Qi Junzao explained a few things about his son to Qiao Zhiyuan.Qiao Zhiyuan also agreed to take care of Qi Youshen and arranged for him to study at Huaxing Academy.There is nothing special, and I will definitely not reach out to help him.Su Sanniang also returned to Nanjing on the same day, with a gentle and lovely girl by her side.As soon as the two returned to the presidential compound, Qiao Zhiqing hurriedly sent someone to call Qiao Zhiyuan back.That girl is Qiao Zhiqing's cousin Jiang Xueying, because the road from Shanxi to Nanjing is long, and Qiao Zhiyuan can't get out.Therefore, after the Qiao family and the Jiang family discussed, they did not plan the wedding according to secular etiquette.Directly from the Qiao family, Jiang Xueying followed Su Sanniang back to Nanjing and married Qiao Zhiyuan in Nanjing.Su Sanniang is Qiao Zhiqing's main house, although Qiao Zhiguang didn't like him at first, thinking that she was a married woman in the past, and her body was not clean.But she gave birth to the first big fat boy for Qiao Zhiqing, and passed on the lineage to the Qiao family.Qiao Zhiguang had to accept this credit, and let the Qiao family serve Su Sanniang like a queen all day long.Su Sanniang also knows the number of etiquette, and when she was in her mother-in-law's house, she was not proud of her identity.treats everyone with a kind face, and the Qiao family is full of praise for her.Qiao Wujie was even more well-behaved and lovely, and when he saw Qiao Zhiguang, he called out one uncle after another.Qiao Zhiguang treats him as his own and likes him very much."
Cousin Xue Ying, you are more beautiful than before, I almost didn't recognize you just now, and I thought Sanniang brought the fairy home."
Qiao Zhiqing, Su Sanniang, and Jiang Xueying were all waiting for Qiao Zhiyuan's arrival in the study.Qiao Zhiqing filled each of her with a cup of tea, and teased Jiang Xueying with a smile.Although he is commensurate with Jiang Xueying as a cousin, the relationship between the two families has also produced three generations and five blessings.Otherwise, Qiao Zhiqing would not have found such a close relative to be his sister-in-law, as a modern person, he also knows the consequences of close relatives getting married.Jiang Xueying has not stepped out of the gate since she was a child, and it is the first time she has come to such a far place.All the way, I was excited to look around the scenery of various places, and I was reluctant to close my eyes even when I was sleeping.After coming to Nanjing, she screamed again and again, feeling like she had entered another world.When Qiao Zhiqing said this, he suddenly pulled her back from the shock, and a shyness suddenly appeared on her face."
Zhiqing, I didn't expect you to be the president, and you are still so flamboyant."
Jiang Xueying covered her mouth and smiled and glared at Qiao Zhiqing.She has played with Qiao Zhiqing and Qiao Zhiyuan since she was a child, and she never called him cousin.Along the way, Su Sanniang also explained a lot of New China's political system to Jiang Xueying.She also knows more or less about Qiao Zhiqing's appointment as president, and she also has a vague understanding of the official position of president."
Zhiqing, what's wrong, I'm in such a hurry to come back" Qiao Zhiyuan had just sent Qi Junzao and his party away, and as soon as he heard Qiao Zhiqing call him, he hurriedly took a carriage and rushed back.Before he could enter the door, the voice of inquiry was heard back to the study."
Second brother, look who I brought to you."
As soon as Qiao Zhiyuan entered the door, Qiao Zhiqing got up and greeted him, pointing at Jiang Xueying and saying happily."
Xue Ying, it's you" Qiao Zhiyuan looked at Jiang Xueying on the couch, stunned in disbelief, since he went to the capital to catch the exam, he and Jiang Xueying have not seen each other for three years."
Zhiyuan" As soon as Jiang Xueying saw Qiao Zhiyuan, her thoughts for many days turned into tears and flowed down, and even her voice became choked.Qiao Zhiqing also walked out of the study with Su Sanniang and went to Su Sanniang's room.Qiao Wujie had just fallen asleep in the bed, and the two of them sat down in the guest hall and chatted.Su Sanniang briefly introduced the things at home to Qiao Zhiqing, and now Qiao's coal business is getting bigger and bigger, and a number of large-scale coal mining enterprises have been opened in Yuci, Jiexiu, Shuozhou, and Datong.After Qiao Zhiguang heard that Nanjing was building a railway, he also wanted to build a Shanxi railway running through the north and south, so as to integrate the coal mining enterprises in Qiao's various places, and at the same time facilitate exchanges between various places.Qiao Zhiqing agreed with the eldest brother's idea at the moment, and hurriedly asked Su Sanniang to get a pen and paper, and sent a letter to the eldest brother in Shanxi, affirming his idea and saying that he would do his best to help him.Shanxi has the backing of the Taiyuan Iron and Steel Plant, forging rails and carriages is a breeze, and Nanjing only needs to provide locomotives.If there is a joint venture between Jin businessmen and a railway, it will be the best thing.Qiao Zhiyuan and Jiang Xueying also discussed it in the study, and the two of them were not ready to make a big deal.chose a day or not, and invited some relatives and friends to a banquet that night, and the wedding was simply completed.On the night of the candle night in the cave room, Jiang Xueying gasped again and again, exhausting Qiao Zhiyuan with all the strength of her body, and seemed to vent her grievances and sorrows for three years.After dealing with the second brother's lifelong event, Qiao Zhiqing put his energy back on the northwest, preparing to completely solve the problem of rebellion in the northwest after the beginning of spring
