"Master Xuan, we will seriously consider this plan you proposed."
Min Cijin, Queen Min, leaned over slightly and said gently: "We need to discuss with the minister at the court meeting, and within ten days, we will give a clear answer to Xuan Gongzi." ”Young Master Meng nodded, knowing that this King of North Korea Li Xi and Queen Min Cijin were just decorations, but it was necessary to find them once, "You can call me Young Master Meng, people who know me call me that, this matter, don't reveal the details to the outside world, if you let the Great Qing Kingdom know that it is my grandfather who leads, it will be very inconvenient, and we will not admit it to the outside world." ”Queen Min Min Cijin squinted at Xuan Yuemeng, and her heart suddenly struck, why can't she tell the outside world that Young Master Meng smiled faintly, "Queen, please don't get me wrong, my grandfather is not selfish, this is just a political attempt, if it doesn't achieve results, my grandfather will be attacked by other local officials." ”Min Cijin, Queen Min, nodded and said: "It's understandable, but, Young Master Meng, how much money do you plan to invest in this iron bridge, if our North Korea accounts for 50 percent, how much do we have to pay" Young Master Meng said: "It's not much, about 500,000 taels of Chinese official silver" King Li Xi of North Korea and Queen Min Cijin were both shocked, 500,000 taels of Chinese official silver is not much, and North Korea's annual tax is less than one million taels However, this is nothing compared to the money that Li Yuying, the king of the Xingxuan Courtyard, should spend to build Yongfu Palace, Less than one percent of the Xingxuan Courtyard Jun Li Yuying used the entire North Korea's century-old savings to build the palace, which is incomprehensible to Young Master Meng, Young Master Meng probably understands the meaning of Xingxuan Courtyard Jun Li Yuying, just like the Empress Dowager Cixi, just to save face, let the foreigners and the people see, the court has money, see whose world this dynasty is However, spending so much money at one time, especially the small country of North Korea, is larger than the budget of the Great Qing State to build the Summer Palace, which is what Young Master Meng can't understand.Young Master Meng said goodbye to King Li Xi of North Korea and Queen Min Cijin of Min, and went out of the palace of Joseon Palace, and asked to see Li Yuying, the king of Xingxuan Courtyard, non-stop, he thought of how to get this Xingxuan Courtyard Jun Li Yuying, isn't it money, anyway, things that can be solved with money, Young Master Meng thinks that they are all small things, this is Young Master Meng's point of view.In fact, whether it was the Joseon Palace or the Xingxuan Courtyard Jun Li Yuying, he did not meet Prince Richard Harris in private, but received him on official business during the court meeting.Young Master Meng regretted that he shouldn't have let Prince Richard Harris take the lead in contacting North Korea through diplomatic channels, but if Prince Richard Harris was not allowed to take the lead, I don't know what the effect would be Xingxuan Courtyard Jun Li Yuying is a cold-looking old man, about the same age as Xuan Zonglu, and at a glance he knows that he is the kind of conservative and stubborn old-fashioned person.If Xuan Zonglu hadn't been changed a lot by Young Master Meng, Xuan Zonglu would also be very disgusted with contact with foreigners, everything is a matter of habit, Xuan Zonglu will sometimes take the initiative to ask to eat Western food now, steak is a kind of main meal that Xuan Zonglu likes.Young Master Meng followed the officials of the Mansion of the Courtyard Jun, and turned around to a small house, if it wasn't for someone to lead the way, Young Master Meng couldn't find it, the layout of the North Korean house is very strange, people who don't know the situation, can't see where the main building is.If it is the imperial palace of the Great Qing Kingdom, although there are many palaces, when you go to the main palace, you can still tell where the emperor may work."
Lord Courtyard."
Young Master Meng is still indifferent and steady."
Please come and sit down" Xingxuan Courtyard Jun Li Yuying also looked at this strange Chinese child with great curiosity, although it was the first time to contact Young Master Meng, however, Xingxuan Courtyard Jun Li Yuying and the high-level of North Korea were very concerned about the situation and news in the Qing Kingdom, and the matter of Young Master Meng becoming a quasi-forehead was not only very rare in the Qing Kingdom, but also big news in North Korea, everyone knew that there was such a prodigy."
Yes, thank you, sir."
Young Master Meng and Xingxuan Courtyard Jun Li Yuying sat down across a small desk.The habits of the North Koreans, Young Master Meng is really not used to it, he doesn't even have a chair, he sits on the ground."
I heard that Master Xuan is the grandson of Lord Xuan Zonglu, the new governor of Liaoning, or the quasi-forehead of the noble Hui Jiege of the Great Qing Kingdom, is this the case?"
Xingxuan Courtyard Jun Li Yuying's eyes were very attentive, and his two small eyes were shining, looking at Young Master Meng.Young Master Meng smiled: "Adults can call me Yue Meng, or call me Young Master Meng, my relatives all call me like this, so it looks kind."
What the adults said is not wrong. ”Xingxuan Courtyard Jun Li Yuying nodded, "Okay, Young Master Meng, just now you proposed to the king and queen in the palace to open border trade and build an iron bridge, is this with the consent of Lord Xuan Zonglu" Young Master Meng was secretly surprised, Li Yuying knew so quickly that he immediately understood, Li Yuying was telling himself that North Korea, he was in charge "Yes, I just helped my grandfather run errands, my grandfather is the big boss of the Asian company My grandfather wants to achieve results in Liaoning as soon as possible through border trade, He has used the Northeast as a springboard for his career, and he wants to run it well. ”Xingxuan Courtyard Jun Li Yuying nodded and said: "Oh, so that's the case, then, such a big thing, don't you need to inform the court of the Great Qing Kingdom" Young Master Meng smiled, "The Great Qing Kingdom is the same as you North Korea, I don't like to deal with foreign countries, North Korea is a vassal state of my Great Qing Kingdom, this is an exception, the Qing Dynasty Court has acquiesced to my grandfather's idea, otherwise, how can such a big thing be done in private" Xingxuan Courtyard Jun Li Yuying sighed, he also thought so, it is to open trade, and to build bridges, This is not a trivial matter, "Since it is a matter acquiesced by the Qing court, we in North Korea will not have much resistance, it's just that our current treasury is empty, displaced people are everywhere, and there is no money in hand at all, I don't know, the cost of this construction." ”Young Master Meng said with a smile, this old man is going to cry poor, this is already something he expected, "To tell the truth to Lord Dayuanjun, the cost of building the bridge will be paid by my grandfather privately, and when the time comes, the market town of trade will also be placed in Danzhou, but, externally, it can be said that this is a bridge built by Lord Dayuanjun's private donation of half of the money, which can not only make the bridge called Li Yuying Bridge, but also let Lord Dayuanjun own half of the bridge equity After the trade market town is built, you can also divide half of the tax to North Korea."
My grandfather really wanted to be good friends with Dayuan-kun. ”t1706231537:
