Li Hongzhang smiled bitterly, "Anyway, the entire business in Jiangnan and Northeast China has been caught by your Huaguo, and then you don't need to ask, you must also arrest the area under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, and now that Prince Gong is at home, it is more convenient for you." ”"Don't talk about this, eat in peace, you drink more."
President Meng smiled and said, "King Xuanjun, it's up to you today." ”Yi Liang grinned and said: "I can't do anything else, drink and eat, it's best to arrange a few more games later, then it's the most enjoyable." ”President Meng smiled: "The original gambling house under Prince Gong's Mansion is now in your hands, how can you enjoy it, we don't advocate gambling in Huaguo." ”Yixuan said with a smile: "That also depends on President Meng's response." ”Everyone was eating, and the originally empty hall was becoming more and more crowded after a while.Li Hongzhang, Concubine Lihuang and Jie Gege couldn't help sweating.Empress Lihuang asked Princess Katrina Kaff: "Why are there more and more people" Princess Katrina Kafu smiled: "It's okay, they are all local industrial and commercial representatives in Beijing, and there will be a small party later, just like listening to a play in the palace, the cute president loves to be lively, and it is temporarily prepared for the Queen Mother of Nangong." ”Emperor Li's concubine snorted, and Jie Gege smiled: "Is it prepared temporarily, now it's okay, I and Huang Eniang, as well as Li Zhongtang, and the king of the county, are considered to have been pulled to the platform by you again." ”"Dear friends, representatives of Beijing's industrial and commercial circles, representatives of outstanding workers and citizens of Huaguo, today we are honored to invite the president of Huaguo, the Empress Dowager of Nangong, Jie Gege, the king of Xuanjun, the governor of Zhili, Li Hongzhang, and the director of the Huaguo President's Secretariat, Princess Katrina Kafu, to come, and now, the party to celebrate the first anniversary of Huayuan has officially begun."
Liu Yuqing's cheongsam, royal red, is particularly festive and beautiful.Everyone applauded together, and looked at the same time, all looking at the main table where the princess Lihuang was located, Jie Gege, Li Hongzhang and the king of Xuanjun.If President Meng comes, there is no such momentum, to make everyone have confidence in Huayuan, the best way is to let everyone see the stability of Huaguo, there is nothing more than Huaguo above the Qing court, more can show the stability of Huaguo.Li Hongzhang had a straight face, his face almost didn't blacken, and he knew that he had fallen for Xuan Yuemeng again.Concubine Lihuang and Jiegege also knew at this time, and if they didn't know, they would be fools.It's hard to talk about Concubine Lihuang and Li Hongzhang, Jie Gege said, "President, congratulations, Huayuan's first anniversary party, we are helping the platform again." ”President Meng smiled: "Isn't it just in time to catch up and it's not a big deal, let's eat ours." ”Yixuan is both wine and meat, but he doesn't care very much, and says with a smile: "Eat them all, this dish is really good, better than the chefs in the palace." ”Li Hongzhang smiled bitterly and shook his head, knowing that the king of the county was not stupid, and even very shrewd, but he admired the king of the county a little, "You are at peace when you come." ”"Li Zhongtang, otherwise what else can I do like you, what is President Meng asking me to do, I'm a brother, can I push it" Yixuan laughed.Xuan Zonglu thought it was funny, this Yixuan was older than Xuan Yuemeng's father Xuan Hongtao, and he actually called Xuan Yuemeng a brother, "It's nothing, it's all encountered, listen to the play, what kind of party is this, I haven't seen it yet." ”"This play, sing so well, when Hua Yuan has a firm foothold in North China, I'm afraid that the Qing Kingdom won't even be able to get 10 million taels of official silver a year."
Li Hongzhang shook his head and said sourly.President Meng smiled: "Lord Zhongtang, you are wrong, if the official bank of the Great Qing Kingdom is in line with Huayuan, not only can it be taken out, but the economy of the Qing Kingdom will be fully recovered, this is the economy, you go back and discuss it with Sheng Xuanhuai, I believe he understands this truth." ”Li Hongzhang shook his head, "I can't mean you, Yuemeng, you can do whatever you like, anyway, I'm going to resign and return to my hometown after a while." ”President Meng sweated, "Don't, doesn't the Great Qing Kingdom still need you, even if you don't want to come to my Huaguo, the officials of the Great Qing Kingdom, aren't you doing it very steadily" Yi Xuan also said strangely: "Lord Zhongtang wants to resign" "You don't need to persuade anymore, I am worried all day long when I am so made by Yue Meng, this official, I still don't deserve it." ”Li Hongzhang waved his hand, looking disheartened.Emperor Li's concubine snorted and didn't make a sound, Jie Gege knew that the emperor was also tricking them into coming over to stand on the platform for Hua Yuan's first anniversary celebration party."
President, this stage is so beautiful, it's all electric lights, and it's still white."
President Meng knew that Jiegege was relieving himself, so he deliberately diverted the conversation, smiled slightly, and introduced: "Well, this is our latest industrial product, this kind of incandescent lamp, even Europe does not have it, in terms of rubber and lamps, we are already ahead of the world." ”Li Hongzhang nodded and said: "There is also radio, there is no radio in Europe and the United States, Yue Meng, your industry is really impressive, it has only been less than two years, and Europe and the United States have been left behind" President Meng shook his head with a smile and said: "Teacher, we still have a long way to go, everyone has developed science and technology for one or two hundred years, how can we leave others behind all of a sudden" "That's not slow, I see that your stage, even in Shanghai, there are no such luxurious facilities." ”Li Hongzhang didn't want to embarrass Xuan Yuemeng too much, he also couldn't embarrass Xuan Yuemeng, he said too many angry words, at most it made the atmosphere embarrassing, things are already like this, he has been pulled to the platform by Xuan Yuemeng, what else can he do, and the topic is diverted.President Meng snorted, "Yes, our facilities, not only in the country, but also in the world, but also first-class, I plan to build Beijing into a sightseeing and tourism and industrialized city, the capital will have the appearance of the capital, the first step is to start from the Beijing Hotel."
If consumption can't go up, how can commerce drive it, how can commerce not drive it, how can industry and agriculture go up, how can industry and agriculture go up, how can science and technology go up, so if you want to make money, you must first be able to spend money. ”When everyone heard President Meng say this, they all felt very strange, it seemed to make sense, and they thought it was very funny."
However, agriculture can't come, where do you come from consumption, everyone can't eat, don't pay, don't you run this Beijing Hotel, don't say your Beijing Hotel, it's your Huayuan, it's useless to find how many people to stand on the platform, everyone is used to using silver, how can you accept paper money all of a sudden" Li Hongzhang shook his head, and couldn't help but complain about President Meng.President Meng laughed: "Then I'm going to let Lord Zhongtang see my methods." ”t1706231537:
